PFT decided my post wasn't worthy, imagine that. I did kind of come down hard and called Mike weak for not doing due diligence.

Anyhow, check this out.

Fans with playoff fever, sent the players off on a good note by cheering them on as they boarded the plane at Austin Straubel Airport. Other fans, sporting their Packer gear already getting pumped up for a big play-off game.

Cashiers at Festival Foods in De Pere, were wearing Packer jerseys to get their customers revved up for Saturday. Other fans staked it out at Austin Straubel Airport in Ashwaubenon, to get autographs from players. "I want Clay Mathews to sign my jersey that my husband gave me for Christmas," says Packer Fan, Jan Cavanaugh. Turns out the newly named, defensive player of the year wanted to make Jan's wish come true and signed her jersey.

Donald Driver, also making several fans highlight reels too. "I met him once at a book signing and we only got one autograph, so it's pretty cool to have two," says Packer Fan Hollie Van Lanen. "Donald is a really nice guy, I personally admire him because I wrote a speech on him and than he signed an autograph for me," says another Packer Fan, Joshua Werner.

Some players arrived with their game faces on, like quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Loyal supports, said autograph or no autograph they were just excited to be there to cheer on the green and gold to victory.

Someone explain to me why cancer victims "deserve the highest level of respect and deference that can be provided."

As istanbul noted, it's deplorable that he plays the unrelated cancer card to strengthen his argument. When he stooped to that low, it was clear as day to me that he conceded that he overreacted to this video but was too proud to admit it.

And then explain to me how Florio can upset a cancer patient "terribly" by posting this bullshit, post a link to her saying she was upset "terribly" by how he made such a big deal out of nothing, and not apologize to her. I thought he cared about cancer patients?

Florio. What a hypocritical fuckwad. Makes a huge deal about Rodgers upsetting a woman and not apologizing, then he upsets her by making such a big deal out of it for his own personal gain, and in turn does not apologize to her.

Besides the fact that Florio is a dick for upsetting Jan, green bay fans and AR for no reasons, his logic is all messed up. He claims that AR should have given special treatment because Jan is recovering from cancer. What exactly is AR required to do for her then? He already signed some items for her. Apparently if she asks him for another autograph and he denies her, he is terrible. What if she asks him to wash her car? Is it ok for him to deny that request? Is the counterargument that an autograph is ok but additional requests are over the line for a cancer patient? What about a wounded soldier then? I guess one can assume there is code of conduct to this interplay but the moment he starts to imply that certain individuals should always be given special attention he starts down a slippery slope of obligations that no celebrity can maintain. As pointed out by z2c and others, this story should have actually been a positive piece about CM3.

take the wounded soldier a step further dyeah. My son is a Purple Heart recipient. He has permanent injuries both physical and emotional. Yet he is back in college and going on with his life. On the Florio Scale would he merit the same extra consideration as a soldier who lost both legs and an arm and can no longer live a relatively normal life?

Don't get me wrong, my Dad died of cancer. If he was standing next to this lady but didn't have on pink Packer stuff would he be less entitled to attention from ARod? My dad was not a Packer's fan and even HE would have not been all worked up and felt deprived if Aaron did not sign a cap for him.

Aaron.. let it slide off your back..

http://blogs.greenbaypressgazette.com/blogs/gpg/insider/2011/01/18/rodgers-criticized-for-not-signing-autograph/

Patrick: Is the video representative of what actually happened in that situation?

Rodgers: Well Jan is a great fan and we have an incredible fan base that travels well and Id like to thank all the fans that showed up in Atlanta. But we had a ton of fans at the airport Ive met Jan on previous occasions, Ive signed for her. At this point, you know, as the video shows, on this trip you know I didnt see her. I didnt sign for her and this kind of has turned into something I didnt really expect. But I think the people of Green Bay they know how I feel about them and how much I appreciate their support and like I said, this turned into something I didnt really expect.
