    Here's one of the reasons:
    Two years ago, I attended a Packers practice. As the players were leaving, they hung around by the fence talking to fans, signing autographs. Rodgers was accepting a piece of paper from a lady through the fence when the wind grabbed it and it spun away along the pavement. He turned around, chased it (it kept blowing out of his reach), and kept at it until he secured it, returned to the fence, asked the fan what her name was, and completed signing.
    Now, in this day of so many spoiled millionaire players, I thought that was most impressive.
    So, that's just another reason for me to root for him.
    It was probably the first time anyone had asked for his autograph.

      He's your QB now, whether you like it or not. If you don't you don't have to be a Packer fan.

        According to McCarthy, Blackmon should be fine. Here's the quote from the Press Gazette:
        * On other injured guys: Cole probably fine. Blackmon ready to go. KGB was running Thursday in SwimEx, looks ready to go.
        Only Harrell and Jolly are expected to not be healthy enough to practice on Monday. But then again, they are getting their physicals tomorrow, so we could still get some surprises.
        Good to see. Wasn't there a thread a few weeks ago about how Will was injured again, and a bunch of people were writing him off?
        "There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

          There was. Hopefully he stays healthy. I don't think he has played much in either of the previous two camps or seasons.
