(Like: is Rodgers nonetheless making an attempt to, uh, thwart Cyrus The Virus?)
Or, maybe, he’s simply making an attempt to remind his fellow Packers that many palms make mild work, or one thing. Then once more, it doesn’t come as an excessive amount of of a shock to Rodgers intent on trolling together with his preseason theatrics.
