Give me a cocky but surgical quarterback over a faux "aw, shucks" demeanor with a gunslinger mentality any day.

Rodgers is a smart and confident Super Bowl MVP. Where do guys like Florio get off indirectly criticizing him before they even play a game? He went out and led the offense to score 35 points. I would be concerned if he didn't rub it in a little.

PS. The mustache Rodgers rolls out in the preseason isn't a fu manchu. This is a fu manchu:

This is a horseshoe mustache:

So much for players-only workouts.

The playbooks with the personnel aren't set so really what can be gained from it.. other than having to unlearn any habits picked up when the playbook and scheme are put into place.

Also during the presser.. he seemed to be focused in one direction with his eyesight during the comments.. but I could be reading to much into it there.

I liked it. Any chance to make the sleazy media look silly should be taken, imo. Plus, it was obviously light hearted.

Go Rodgers!!

Edit, why wouldn't you include that in your post to start with? [palm]

I was glad Aaron fired back on the "experts". I was sick of hearing who badly GB needed to have player organized practices.

After listening to his whole interview, I think he really forced the comment when talking about Randall Cobb. The other two, were not a problem to me.
