Aaron Rodgers to host Saturday Night Live?


Rodgers to SNL?
I sincerely hope so.

The rumor mill is circulating that Aaron Rodgers is talking with current Saturday Night Live members about hosting the show. This would clearly be huge. Rodgers’ evolution into a superstar is almost complete, and it would allow him to do something that Brent Favre never did.

SNL writers will probably try to mention that the Giants won the Super Bowl, and that they beat Rodgers and the Packers.... but there is no joke for that. Still too sad, too soon.

Would Rodgers risk doing a Favre sketch? Jason Sudeikis does a great Brett Favre impression. I'm just saying. Anyway, here's to hoping that the XLV MVP is soon to shout 'LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!'

Rodgers not happy with Pro Bowl teammates efforts

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was proud to represent the NFC in Sunday's Pro Bowl. His team lost, only the third time Rodgers had to undergo such a trauma in the 2011 season.

Though it's an exhibition game with an unspoken motto of, "Just don't get hurt," Rodgers told ESPN Milwaukee he was disappointed in his NFC teammates' effort. "I'll be honest with you," Rodgers said. "I was a little bit disappointed. I felt like some of the guys on the NFC side embarrassed themselves. [...]

"I wanted to know the plays and I wanted to play well, and I wanted to give the fans a show, and make the Green Bay fans who watched and were watching for me and my teammates, I wanted to make them proud of their Pro Bowlers. I was just surprised that some of the guys either didn't want to play or when they were in there didn't put any effort into it."

LANDSLIDE NFL MVP vote for Aaron Rodgers!!!


Not only is Aaron Rodgers the 2010 Super Bowl XLV MVP...he is now the 2011 NFL MVP!!!

Rodgers earned 48 votes to two for New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees in balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. The Packers star is the first Green Bay player honored since Brett Favre concluded a run of three straight seasons as MVP in 1997.

Rodgers led the NFL in passing with a 122.5 rating built on 45 touchdown passes, six interceptions and a 68.3 completion percentage as the Packers went 15-1 and won the NFC North. He joins former Packers Brett Favre, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung in being selected MVP.

"People really count on me to be consistent each week, to play well. Knowing that my performance, the fact that I touch the ball every play, I have a direct impact on the game, the way I play," Rodgers said. "And if I'm playing consistent and doing things I know I'm supposed to do, we've been able to have some success because of it."
