Yahoo Sports Chris Chase is making a big deal about Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers posing for pictures "like he was at a high school dance" while backup QB Matt Flynn was at the helm as his team was hammering the Atlanta Falcons 48 to 21 in Saturday's NFC Divisional Playoff Game at The Georgia Dome.
So what?
You know, this whole deal of beat reporters getting after players for doing everything from laughing during a loss, to crying, or taking pictures is a bit much. They're human. Just because communications technology lets us see what they do almost all the time during a game doesn't mean we become judge and jury of what they do.
Heck, I'd like to see more players send tweets during the game, it would heighten the experience of watching it.
After all, sports is entertainment today. But I digress.
One thing about Rodgers is he thinks about winning more than the game. I realized this while listening to him after the contest yesterday, when he remarked that "We're just one more game away from Dallas."
That's the wrong way to think.
Rather than thinking about winning, Aaron should be thinking about football.
Oh, GO BEARS (Aaron went to Cal).
