  • Rodgers and the Championship Belt

    .

    I read a rumor somewhere that either the belt that Clay Matthews III draped over Rodgers shoulder while hoisting the Lombardi trophy... and/or the belt that appeared with Rodgers on Letterman last night... was supplied by none other than the legendary WWE/WWF wrestling icon "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

    This was the closest thing I could find to verification:

    Former WWE and current TNA legend Ric Flair made an appearance on ESPNEWS Monday and claimed to have sent Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his Packers teammates two WWE World Championship belts — one of which was worn by the signal-caller as he was being presented his MVP award.

    So - I'm also on record has having been completely against "The Belt" move all season long (last season too). I felt it was ridiculous, unjustified, arrogant, and childish. I repeatedly cited the reason I most felt it was inappropriate, was because the Rodgers led Packers had yet to actually win a championship.

    However, now that said championship has been won, I hereby retract my earlier position and now decree:

    "The Belt" is an appropriate move that Aaron should be allowed to bust into spontaneously, whenever the mood should strike. You know... in the produce section at the grocery store, getting gas at the Kwik Trip, as a new pickup line for chicks at the bar, waiting in line to renew his drivers license, at a charity appearance, in the "speak now or forever hold your peace" portion of a wedding, or during the quietest part of a somber and heart wrenching funeral...

    Well, you get the idea.

    Ahh - what the hell, let's be liberal with it and just go ahead and say that ANY Packer fan or employee has been given a go ahead-green light to bust out "The Belt" move at ANY given time without repercussion. While you're in that boring meeting at work, during your court appearance, at dinner with your in-laws, during the 4th grade Parent-Teacher Conference...etc. etc.

    After all - they are the only NFL team owned by the community, and thus the community at large should obviously be included.
