Super Bowl

In case anyone was wondering who I am rooting for:

Aaron Rodgers - QB #12 - Green Bay Packers

For the record, although I am originally from Detroit, I spent a lot of time in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which is attached to Wisconsin. Since the U.P. is culturally similar to Wisconsin and always looking for a way to be at odds with the "downstaters" from the Lower Peninsula you get a set of Michigan Packers fans. Add to that my wife's life-long Brett Favre obsession, mixed with the abysmal play of the Lions and voila! - a Packers family!

So if you were trying to decide who to root for... I think you know my opinion. In case you need more than my simple endorsement, go with the better person at QB, here is my proof [via Badger Catholic via Dad29]:

Aaron Rodgers & Charles Woodson 

A friend sent this, written by a Fox6 sports anchor.

This job affords me some incredible opportunities. Being a member of the FOX 6 Sports team means I've been able to witness and report on events and people that many can only admire from a distance. I never take these situations for granted and sincerely appreciate being involved in whatever capacity each permits.
Monday marked just the most recent case as I had the unparalleled privilege to be a part of Aaron Rodgers charity event to benefit the MACC Fund,...

...His favorite book is The Bible and he tries to read it every day not just when life's challenges and struggles surface.
His favorite movie is The Princess Bride which he admits he's caught flack for but says he and his childhood friends can recite every line from the film and it is simply a great story.

...My friend, the father of that young girl who passed, was there that night. He was one of several attendees brought up on stage where he caught a football thrown by the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

He asked Aaron to sign the football he'd caught. He wondered if he'd make it out to his daughter. It isn't shocking that Rodgers obliged. What caught me off guard was the dedication he made. It wasn't until after Aaron left that I first saw the autograph... and the simple yet sweet message that brought tears to this father's eyes:

"To Cheri the angel. Save me a spot. - Aaron Rodgers"

It takes a real man to know his place in the universe.

I think you get my point - GO PACKERS!
