Aaron Rodgers appreciated Justin Timberlake’s Packers shout-out
Justin Timberlake held his scheduled press conference with the media on Thursday in advance of his Super Bowl halftime performance, and naturally he was asked who he is rooting for in the game. Despite openly admitting that he is close with Tom Brady, J.T. would not pledge his allegiance to the Patriots.
When pressed by a reporter to make a pick, Timberlake expressed support for the Packers.

Timberlake was born and raised in Memphis, but he explained last year that he grew up rooting for the Packers because Brett Favre — a Mississippi boy — was the “king of the South” when J.T. was a kid.
Between his Packers plug and what he said about his son playing football, Timberlake had himself an entertaining Q&A.
