I never thought Rodgers was laughing AT the opposing team, anyway. I always thought he was just happy and excited and usually signaling some type of inside gesture to the sideline. I don't think it has much to do with the opposing team and just has everything to do with the Packers themselves. Don't flatter yourselves, Eagles.

I just really never interpreted anything Rodgers has done on the field to be "mocking." I just see it as him being very happy, loving the game, and enjoying his success with his teammates and coaches. There is a substantial difference between the two, imo.

Someone pointed out how excited defensive players get when they sack the quarterback. Most go crazy. This is no different, except that it's of a lesser magnitude.

It's something he might want to keep in check.

I remember there were instances where defensive players would pull up even if they had a shot on Favre. There's a certain respect factor. Say there was a fumble or an INT. A defensive player can "block" the QB, like Sapp did to Cliffy back in the day. They don't HAVE to, but they are allowed to take their shots.

But I don't think Aaron is over the top with mocking other teams or anything.

I'm not talking about his play of course, everyone has to respect that but I think he sort of portrays that "pretty boy" attitude that pisses some people off. Laughing at your opponent is just one of those things. He did it plenty against the Bears as well but I agree I don't think it was over the top. Of course I am a Packers fan.

Once again, I don't even think he was laughing AT the Bears or the Eagles. He was enjoying the moments between his coaches and teammates. Enjoying the fact that plays they worked on all week actually worked in the game. There's a big difference. The Eagles need to worry about themselves. If they were stopping Rodgers, he wouldn't have a chance to do anything. That's on them, not Rodgers or the Packers, or any other team.

Also keep in mind the "secretly gay" issue. We all know our beloved QB likes peen. As fans we don't care and we support Aaron. But in the NFL, there's alot of homophobia. Maybe it's just dudes who are denying their own sexuality, maybe it's dudes who are just messed up. But there's bound to be haters.

Also keep in mind the comments Jennings has made since he left the team. Donald Driver didn't exactly come to Aaron's defense either. There could be more going on there than we are aware of.

If the positions/score had been reversed, the Eagles would have been yucking it up and having a good time.

They got embarrassed (like we did the first game against the SheHawks) and it stung. Whining about how much the other team/players were enjoying themselves isn't going to remove the sting. It's just going to make you look like...well...whiners.
