Props to Pete Dougherty, the new head of Packer reporting for the Green Bay Press Gazette, for scoring and conducting the longest interview or Q & A session with Aaron Rodgers, ever.
The length and the depth of the interview, which was in print yesterday, alone shows what Rodgers admitted as being a higher comfort level with the media and the public. Since being drafted in infamous fashion in 2005, Rodgers has been known for being rather high-strung, uncomfortable in the public eye, the media and his own skin. Even a 60 Minutes piece on Rodgers broadcast two years ago took an unfortunate turn when it decided to focus on his apparent sensitivity and insecurity rather than on the good work Rodgers was doing for children with cancer.
