They’re both white, you see?! And good athletes!
Inconceivable!
Yeah, anyway, Magic Johnson was obviously watching the Green Bay Packers thrash the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday and one Aaron Rodgers caught his eye. And then Magic was like, “He’s a killer. Just like that goddam hick, Larry!”
And then Magic was all, “I better Tweet this shit out so ESPN can pose it as news and make it into a story.”
So we got this. Deep Thoughts by Jack… Magic Johnson.
Aaron Rodgers reminds me of my good friend and rival Larry Bird. Aaron & Larry have similar qualities.

Both Aaron and Larry are great leaders, both are competitive & most importantly make their teammates better, all while making it look easy!

So the highest compliment I can give Aaron Rodgers, the best QB in the NFL, is to compare him to 3x NBA Champion Larry Bird!

Remember that time in the playoffs when Larry and the Rifleman, Chuck Person, went at each other? Those two fuckers were literally shooting from everywhere on the floor. That shit was epic!
I always hated the Celtics, but had a begrudging respect for Larry. He was a pretty damn good ball player. He’s also fun to bomb threes with on NBA Jam or… wait for this one… Jordan vs. Bird.
So anyway, nice compliment, Magic.
Maybe we should fill out the roster a little.
Jordy Nelson = Kevin McHale
Julius Peppers = The Chief
Randall Cobb = DJ
Mason Crosby = Danny Ainge
J.C. Tretter = Crippled Bill Walton
