Of course Kampman is going to sing the praises of his teammate and roommate, the skeptics will chirp. Except that Kampman, a two-time Pro Bowl player, is known as a straight shooter who doesn’t embellish the facts to appease hungry reporters...

Everywhere you turn in the locker room, veterans and rookies alike offer Rodgers their unwavering support...

Favre told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen over the weekend he could beat Rodgers out for the starting job if given the chance. A host of Packers fans agree.

Brett, nice of you to tell Mortensen you could beat out Rodgers for the starting job. I'm sure you really needed to tell the media that. What a great teammate.

Driver today: http://www.packers.com/multimedia/vi..._ce892b6ee717/

Arod's been fine. I think you guys are more worried about this than he is. He just wants to play football.... You know, We don't want to dwell on this. It should be over with now, we're trying to relax and just play football.
...................
[Brett]'s gonna have the same role he's always had. He's always gonna be a leader in this locker room. So I don't think that's gonna change.

(In the background, someone's yelling "man, forget Brett's swing" I think, you listen and tell me if you can hear it better. Jennings and Jones also get Driver to do pushups for the camera which is freakin' funny)

Sorry, I transcribed that myself so forgive any minor errors.


Edit: One more: Poppinga

“We are a close-knit team,” said linebacker Brady Poppinga. “No matter what may come, we are going to be solid, stay united (and) strong, and we are going to come out the other end better off than we were at the beginning. That’s just how we operate.”

what does "forget bretts swing" mean?

Hands down; the club is above player(s); this would NEVER be questioned by most Euro fans of pro football (soccer). If a player is "king" then the club's credibility would fall into shambles. The coach and GM might pay a price themselves later...if results are unsatisfactory.

That's the way it is and should be.

what does "forget bretts swing" mean?

I have no frickin idea. Watch the driver video and you tell me if it was something different. Maybe he was talking to Swain, the rookie receiver?
