First, let me point out that I live in and am from Chico, Ca. Aaron Rodger's home town. All the sudden all kinds of "Packer fans." are coming out of the woodwork around here. Quite annoying really. Like, where were you guys 6 years ago? 10? 15?! Bastards.... We have been Packers fans since LONG before Aaron got drafted. Infact, I still have my Favre jersey from when I was 11 and my Super Bowl XXXI Champions hat. Yes, I also got beat up after the Cowboys (my step brothers favorite team) beat the Packers in the playoffs the years before Super Bowl XXXI when I flipped out and punched him in the chest after he was gloating about the win(s). I was about 9 or so I think.
Anyways, the wife wants an Aaron Rodgers home jersey. That is a sealed deal. I however cannot pick who's jersey I want to save my life.
Aaron Rodgers would seem like the obvious choice...but not really. Being in Chico with a Rodgers' jersey now is like being in NYC with a Yankees cap on. I want to show my pride, but not be thought of as "another Packer fan convert." Here is my break down on who I want in order of most desired to least.
1) Aaron Rodgers / Clay Matthews
2) A.J. Hawk
3) Donald Driver
4) Greg Jennings
5) Charles Woodson
Now, 1-5 isn't so cut and dry. Picking any of them is really hard. I mean, I did some research and these players are locked down to a long term contract. That is important to me as I do not want to purchase a specific jersey, just to have to player leave the next year. Maybe that is just my OCD talking, but I cannot stand it. For instance a couple years ago when I finaly had the cash in hand I ALMOST bought an Aaron Kampman jersey. Boy, was that a close one!
Lastly, as we all know money is tight in this economy and this is the first time that we can finally afford some new jerseys for ourselves so we are doing it right with all the stitched name/numbers etc. We are looking at getting the jerseys with the SB XLV patch on them as that was just an awesome event.
Sorry for the long-windedness, but I just had to get my point across I suppose. Thanks for any and all input!
