The Dynamics like that of ‘An Owl’

“First thing I did, I texted him a picture of the cheesehead. “And he said, ‘LOL, why do you still have that?’ I told him, ‘Hey, you become a Jet, I’ll burn it. You don’t have to worry about it,’ Ahmad’ Sauce’ Gardner told SI months before the four-time NFL league MVP was swapped with the Jets. Now lucky for Gang Green, A-Rod, and Saucer have developed a strong bond. They even have a special handshake to prove it! At a Jets practice, the veteran quarterback and second-year cornerback were observed participating in a joint session to rehearse a new covert greeting, mimicking smoking marijuana.

Recently, when they arrived at their seats in Madison Square Garden, Rodgers was taken aback by Gardner. It was because he was unable to recognize the renowned actress and businesswoman, Jessica Alba! Though, during an interview with The Rich Eisen Show, Alba mentioned that she observed a developing brotherly bond between the experienced quarterback and the up-and-coming cornerback, saying: “It was sweet actually, how Aaron was trying to be like a big brother and like, take him under his wing and like show him the ropes and this kid was not having any of it. Sounds kind of funny. I just thought that was kind of the dynamic, you know, it’s like an owl. You know, like, let me show you the way.”

Now the way Aaron mocked Sauce might prove the point. In Gardner’s own words, he shared, “It was great vibes, but that whole night, he would just keep asking me out of nowhere, ‘Do you know who that person is?’ and I’m like, ‘Bro, that’s Amar’e Stoudemire, I know who that is. Now you are just picking on me at this point.’” Now isn’t this something to look forward to?
