Aaron Rodgers and the Angry Blogger | NFC Championship at Soldier Field

NFC Championship
After an amazing game at Atlanta, I'm picking up NFC Championship tickets for Soldier Field. It's been sixty years since there was a post season Packers versus Bears game. I can't miss this one.

After recovering from the night before a non story unfolded during the Bears versus Seahawks game yesterday. A sports agent who fancies himself a blogger as well as an NBC Sports talking head (okay?) ripped Aaron Rodgers on how he handled an autograph seeking fan who was obviously a cancer survivor. For the record, Rodgers had previously met with this woman and provided her with an autograph. That first meeting was not on film. What looked like a rude brush off was captured on film, and our blogger/sports agent / talking head went to work. Fact checking is very important. Context is pretty important too.
