In fact he should be commended for speaking the truth where other players just don't seem to care. Peyton Manning was the same way in nearly all of his pro-bowl appearances, he consistently expressed a desire to win the game and he hated running the gadget plays. Even Ray Lewis expresses this same mentality, he wants his defense focused on winning the game. Not too long ago the Pro Bowl featured a higher level of intensity--maybe not balls to the wall 100% effort, but WAY more effort than it has been the last 5 years or so. It really makes no sense to even have the game if players aren't going to show their passion for the game itself. Even if there is nothing on the line, a true athlete, like Rodgers, should want to beat who they are playing. Pre-season games are more fun to watch than the Pro-Bowl is.</blockquote>
