Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was interviewed this afternoon on the "The Jim Rome Show," which was hosted today by Grant Napear, a Sacramento radio broadcaster. Rodgers was in San Diego.

Some of the subjects discussed during the 11-minute interview:

If he was going to watch the LeBron James decision show: "I really don't care too much about watching it tonight. I'm interested in where he's going, but this thing is a little out of control I think."

How long the playoff loss against Arizona sat with him: "It's not something I think about anymore to be honest with you. It was disappointing, but I've moved on and our team has moved on."


What he learned most about his own play last season: "I think the most important thing last year was I need to be consistent. I had a season that I was pretty proud of - I played 16 games and made some plays during the season. But it starts with me and my consistency really in practice every day, giving a great effort, being prepared every day because a lot of times the practice goes as the quarterback goes."

On his level of anticipation for the upcoming season: "I'm excited, I really am, about the kind of guys we got and the kind of character in our locker room. I really like the guys we brought in, as far as their ability but also their character. We got some good guys to add to the mix and we already had a solid team. I like the mix of veterans who are playing at a very high level like Charles Woodson and Donald Driver. A lot of young guys we have high expectations for, in Bryan Bulaga and B.J. Raji. Clay Matthews is coming off a great season. We have the right mix of old guys and younger guys and guys in the middle like myself, who expect to play well. We like the direction the coaching staff has taken us with Dom Capers in his second year with the defense and coach McCarthy and Joe Philbin with the offense. It's an exciting for Green Bay, but we have a tough schedule We realize it's going to be a grind starting July 29. But I know I'm working my butt off right now in San Diego, getting ready to have a great season."

If his name will be on the leaderboard Sunday morning at the celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe: "(laughs) I don't think so. Golf is something I really enjoy playing. It's probably the most frustrating sport. I've actually had a lot better year this year from the time the courses finally open in Green Bay until now. I've played as much as I possibly could. My scores have been a little better going into Tahoe. But it really doesn't mean anything once you get out there. My gallery really consists of my mom and dad and my grandparents. You still have to make the 2- and 3-footers your buddies give you. It's a great event and a great week. The people up there really take care of us and I really look forward to it every year."

About the first Monday night game of the season at Chicago (Sept. 27): "For some reason, the people who schedule the games have put us in Chicago late in the season the last few years. It has always been our coldest game of the season. So I'm excited we play them early in the season, when the weather should be a little more favorable. Jay (Cutler) and I have already talked about that game. It's nice to have a little bit of bragging rights over Jay, being he is a buddy of mine, and having beaten him twice last year. But I know he is excited about what they've got going on and what they have added to the mix with Julius Peppers and Chester (Taylor) in their backfield, with (Brian) Urlacher coming back healthy. It's going to be a tough game for us. But starting off the season with Philly (Sept. 12) and Kevin Kolb, and being a fan of his and seeing him kind of come up the way I did, waiting his turn and now getting his opportunity. That is going to be a tough game for us. Then playing a rejuvenated Buffalo team at home. There is no easy week in the season. We are just going to try, when we get together here in a few weeks, is get things rolling on offense and defense. Hopefully we can get a little bit of luck, stay healthy and see what happens. We are excited about the prospects of making a deep run."

Zero2Cool (19h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (19h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (19h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

dfosterf (19h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (19h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (19h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (19h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (19h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪

dfosterf (20h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (20h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (20h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
