This is why he’s the face of the NFL. Even rival fans love the guy.

Translation for Rogers:
“I’ve enjoyed beating Urlacher’s defense year in and year out. It will be strange to take victory formation this Sunday and not see his face.”

By the way, I’m a Bears fan.

If Jim McMahon can play for the Packers–and he did in 1996– then so can Urlacher.

This is why they play the game. so people like Rodgers can find out if they can play as good as they think.
hes gloating because Urlacher wont play this week. The CHICAGO BEARS will be playing for Lovie Smith’s job this week and the players love that coach

They’re both true competitors who hate each other on the field but hold the utmost respect for their skills in the game they play. Peyton Manning still writes a little handwritten note to opposing players when they retire telling them how much he appreciated their play and for the memories. Class act.

Urlacher should only play for 1 team, Da Bears!

Just as i thought Favre should only play for 1 team, and he ruined that by playing for the Jets, and killed any good feeling toward him by playing for the Vikings, who i think EVERYONE hates.

Rivalry? yes. Hatred? no.
I remember scenes with Urlacher and Favre chatting it up between plays.
If we want to talk about hatred, I think both Packers and Bears fans will quickly point to that blue and silver team up in Michigan.

Yeah know if all the people that say they “hate” Aaron Rodgers would just follow it up with, “because he owns my favorite NFCN team.” That would be cool. If he had a sub .500 record against the NFCN everyone would be a little more complimentary I think.

For those that call him a diva, please show me where on the graph he would fit in with the established divas ala TO ochocinco etc.

Facts are, he respects the game and ALL the men who play it, even the ones he has two face twice per year. He calls a spade a spade and holds himself accountable for what the offense does or fails to do every week.

As a Vikings fan, I can’t help but respect Aaron Rodgers for challenging himself and his teammates to be the best they can be. His comments today show that he is a class act. I am happy he’ll be in the NFC North for years to come.

I wouldn’t want Urlacher on the packers because I know how much he means to Chicago fans. It was like the Favre situation a few year back. You never want to see one of your longtime favorite players going to a rival. Don’t get me wrong. I’d take him over Hawk, but not at the expense of rubbing it in Bears fans noses.

As a life long Bears fan, I really want to hate this guy…but he makes it very difficult. Class act, great competitor, hell of a player.

Nice commentary by Rodgers, he’s keeping the sportsmanship in the sport. Brian and Aaron are both great players, needless to say.

Urlacher to the Packers next year?
