I asked players how comfortable they were with an increasing number of media and others picking them to make the Super Bowl. Interestingly, the Packers aren't running away from such talk. "You picking us? Cool," coach Mike McCarthy said. Normally teams despise this kind of discussion. The Packers aren't thumping their chests but they're not running away from the Super Bowl chatter, either. This is a confident team but not arrogant. You see that all over the Packers. "We finished last season strong and we think we're as good a team as there is in this league," said quarterback Aaron Rodgers. "That's not arrogant. Last year maybe we were a little cocky. This year we're more mature and confident." • McCarthy. There were doubters in the NFL about McCarthy when the Packers first hired him. Not anymore.
