GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Josh Sitton's fellow offensive linemen weren't the only ones shocked and disappointed when the Green Bay Packers unexpectedly cut the three-time Pro Bowl guard on Sept. 1.
The folks at A&W restaurants in northeastern Wisconsin must've all but choked on their root beer floats when they heard the news.
Not only had the Lexington, Kentucky-based restaurant chain introduced Sitton as their Wisconsin spokesperson in mid-August, A&W had even allowed the veteran lineman to design his own hamburger that was to be sold at half-price each Monday during the NFL season.
