Here yee, Here yee, this court is in session. The Honorable Brad Rodgers overseeing the proceedings.
Representing the defendant in these proceedings and ready to deliver his closing argument to the jury is Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
“Thank-you ref. First I would like to point out that I have led my Packers to more points than any team in the league this year, and we have won both our season opening games by more than a touchdown.
“We also come to New Orleans not overconfident, but with a healthy respect for Mr. Brees and his all-time passing stats. But, while some have considered me over-the-hill, I submit that last season I led the Packers to a 13-3 regular season and a showdown in San Francisco for the National Football Conference title.
“Still, I fail to get the notoriety afforded my worthy opponent as the only man in the history of our game to pass for more yards and more touchdowns than even Tom Brady. And yes, Mr. Brees did lead his Saints to an opening win over Brady and his new Tampa Bay teammates this year, but I submit that was while the Buccaneers are still looking to find their rhythm with so many changes.
“As for myself, I took our team to a road win over a Minnesota Vikings squad that was a playoff team last year in our opener, and ran over the Detroit Lions last week like they were roadkill on the freeway. We expect to do the same this Sunday night in the Big Easy, and consider the possibility of anyone backing my opponent while allowing me points on the spread pure folly.
