Aaron Rodgers On David Letterman, At Disney World

In case you missed it, here's former Cal Bears Quarterback and now Green Bay Packers Super Bowl XVL Winning QB Aaron Rodgers on The Late Show With David Letterman.

It was a full first day basking in the glow for the two-year Cal great, just 24 hours or so from beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 31 to 25. He was at Disney World that morning, in a parade in his honor. (The amazing photo by Nickel Media and posted on Flickr for blog use.)

Then, Rodgers flew to New York to be on David Letterman's show that evening, thus completing his East Coast swing.

On Letterman, while Rodgers explained how Cal Football Coach Jeff Tedford found him while scouting for Butte Community College tight end Garrett Cross. As Rodgers explained, Tedford saw him and called that evening to offer a scholarship.

But instead of continuing that conversation, Letterman went off on the idea that Rodgers supposedly played with "ex-cons and 25-year olds," the East Coast media line that was propagated during Super Bowl media week.

Because of that, Cal lost any hope of more Letterman glory. RATS!

I was waiting for Aaron to bring David back on course, but you know what? It's his moment.

But I can't help but think would Rodgers or for that matter Jahvid Best, have been more an advocate for Cal if they were four-year players? Moreover, what does this say about Cal overall that it's main would-be spokes people, it's players gaining a national spotlight, aren't really speaking up for it.

Something's wrong with this picture.

GO BEARS!
