Aaron Rodgers Can’t Have Enough of Kevin Malone From ‘The Office’; Brian Baumgartner Reminisces His Bond With the Packers Superstar

Whether it’s dedicating to the Green Bay Packers for the long haul or competing in ‘The Match’ of golf with Tom Brady, in stardom, he has been close to a few celebrities. One of them is Brian ‘Kevin Malone’ Baumgartner, who recounts his companionship with the Green Bay quarterback.

Aaron Rodgers is making his playing return after weeks of confusion over his fate in Green Bay. In his current NFL run, he is one of the finest quarterbacks. Further, Rodgers has set up an absolute level of dominance with his MVP accolades and statistics. While him playing at 37, he might have a few more years in the bag.

Omaha Productions on Twitter upload a clip from Joe Buck’s PGA Championship Broadcast. Baumgartner appears as the guest, where he talks about his first encounter with the hero of the Packers.

Brian recalls the moment saying, “In 2008, which was my first year, I was there. And I was sitting next to a guy at a blackjack table. Who told me he was a big fan. And turned out he was Aaron Rodgers. I have no idea who he was. No clue. This is the summer before he became a starter, and I’m like, ‘oh! you’re the cow guy who’s never gonna play because of Brett Favre, right?'”

Both became close friends after that day. Brian admits to being a Packers fan in another interview. He also says that he attempts to visit Green Bay once or two times per year to witness the Packers play.

Aaron Rodgers once did a cameo in ‘The Office’

Aaron Rodgers and Brian Baumgartner (from ‘The Office’) have built up a very affectionate bond. It’s surely a match one would love to witness on screen. Although, only a die-hard Packers and the office fan would know one thing. QB Rodgers is a big fan of “The Office,” and he even appeared in a cameo on a 2013 episode.

Rodgers, who frequently wears T-shirts honoring his favorite TV shows and movies, could have simply been creating a fan fashion item with this. The shirt features the “Kevin’s Famous Chili” scenario from Episode 98, wherein accountant Kevin Malone turns up slightly earlier with a large pot of home-style chili for his Dunder Mifflin work colleagues, just to drop that and have to scrape it back into it with file folders.
