That’s fun.” He also mentioned that he thinks that Nixon is a huge difference-maker for the team and that he is very thankful for him.

While Rodgers might seem like a hip enigma, he is a certified veteran of the league. With 18 years in the league, the QB has seen it all. Apart from Nixon’s spectacular play, old man A-Rod had some pretty interesting requests for the league. Rodgers would prefer that the famed Monday Night Football games be changed to an anti-climactic Monday afternoon football. He mentions that he got tired during the press conference and that it was past his ‘bedtime’.
