Aaron Rodgers is a Super Bowl MVP. Mark Sanchez is not. What that means to me is that if Rodgers makes fun of Sanchez, Sanchez deserves to be made fun of — for now at least.
Sanchez was certainly aware he would be taking a lot of heat for recently appearing on the cover of GQ and making himself available for a Tom Brady-like spread. While his photo shoot was not nearly as bad as Kobe Bryant’s white hot fashion photos, there are certainly plenty of shots that open the Sanchize up to some heckling. Rodgers weighed in on the matter Wednesday morning during an interview from ESPN Milwaukee that Pro Football Talk shared with us.
“Look at this,” Rodgers said. “That’s embarrassing. Page 94 of the GQ thing here. That’s terrible.
“It’s just not really my style (to do something like that),” Rodgers said. “I like my anonymity, I like my privacy. I like being able to be the quarterback during the week and, in the offseason, just be able to do what I want to do and not have to be in the public eye.”
The photo he is referring to is the one pictured above. Rodgers makes a point that I’m sure is shared by many others, but is he being completely truthful? He obviously would never do a shoot like this for GQ, but he cannot only rock a handlebar mustache because he likes it. There has to be a little attention craving mixed in there somewhere. And what about that music video cameo he did? He is a long way away from white pants and Gucci sunglasses, but everyone likes a little attention and — most importantly — some extra cash.
