I've detested the (local) Packers ever since they gave Favre that big contract. The district where my wife teaches had an annual budget that was less than the $10 million per year that Favre was collecting. This district was educating 1,000 students.
The rednecks around here complain that teachers only work half a year. I always point out that there are 16 games in a season, there are 60-minutes of game time, and the offense is on the field for half of that. Using their logic, Favre was making $10 million for 8 hours of work. I end with, "And how much money did you make yesterday?"
Rodgers got my attention a couple of years ago when the entire stadium of GB fans booed a Muslim family right after some tragedy occurred overseas. After the game, he ripped all 50-some thousand a new orifice. That impressed me greatly.
