Aaron Rodgers to wear 49er jersey..

It was bad enough for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers that his team lost its season opener, 30-22 to the San Francisco 49ers -- the team Rodgers wanted to play for when he was a kid. Adding insult to defeat is the fact that Rodgers, who is apparently a big fan of the group Boyz II Men, made a bet with one of the Boyz that could have him making a regrettable fashion choice.

According to TMZ, Rodgers asked Boyz II Men to sing the national anthem before the opener at Lambeau Field. Nathan Morris of the group laid a bet on the table. If the Packers lost the game, Morris proposed, Rodgers would have to wear a 49ers jersey through this entire week. Morris would have had to wear a Packers jersey through this week had Green Bay won, but he's not a professional football player -- he doesn't have to go to team meetings and film room and all other game-prep functions wearing the colors of the opposing team.

I think this is called..adding insult to injury. Right along with Alex's 125.6 QBR compared to Rodgers 93.3.. The Packers won't have to be concerned about any perfect season this year.. neither will ESPN The Magazine, which predicted a 16-0 record For Green Bay....

“I did hear about the bet, someone told me about it,” said Smith, who has become good friends with Rodgers. “I’ll have to call him and get a picture.”

Hey and now Rodgers can fulfill his dream of wearing a 49er jersey, but he'll be on the imaginary bench. Who would have ever thought Alex would outplay Rodgers at Lambeau?

When Rodgers had time to throw -- which really only happened in his next-to-the-last series -- he looked great. But when Fangio unleashed everyone it was game over. That three man rush was huge mistake.

Alex has a better team around him. The pieces have finally come together. Still wish we had Rodgers though.

in fact, the whole team looked great..just dominating the line of scrimmage at times. It's like they haven't skipped a beat since last year, only now they have more weapons offensively. I've been trying to temper my enthusiasm, after all it's only one game, but yesterday the 49ers made it clear last year was no fluke..
