http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/121921998.htmlWisconsinites never tire of reading about the Green Bay Packers, so even during the off-season the major media outlets carry Packer stories. Today's interview with Aaron Rodgers was supposed to be about workouts during the lock-out, but Rodgers showed he knows alot more about the labor dispute than what it means to QB / Wide Receiver timing.

“I’d say the majority of us are very optimistic that something’s going to happen in the near future," Rodgers said. "There are too many parties involved and too much money involved frankly for there not to be a season, in my opinion.
A community like Green Bay needs the Packers to survive. The economy is built on people coming in to watch the games, coming in to watch training camp, there are a number of restaurants, hotels, bars, and their livelihood is directly related to us having a season. I hope we consider that when we’re negotiating and we find a solution that helps both parties. I’m optimistic we’re going to get something done.”
