Remember when Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers trolled the Minnesota Vikings with some Grape Crush, but then denied trolling at all? Well, he trolled Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch pretty openly on Tuesday.
You’ll recall, Tulloch is the idiot who did Rodgers’ championship belt celebration after sacking him and tore his ACL in the process.
Rodgers whipped out the belt on Monday night after throwing a 10-yard TD to Jordy Nelson. He usually reserves that celebration for when he rushes for a touchdown, so Jason Wilde asked him what was up.
“I just wanted to remind people you can do that celebration and not hurt yourself,” Rodgers said. “It wasn’t even really a big one. It was just a little one.”
Naturally, Tulloch caught wind of this, because what else does he have to do but sit around on the computer?
First, he denied that his celebration was the belt.
First off I wasn't doing the discount double check when I got hurt. So my man A Rod can’t stop promoting his discount double move.

Hmmm… let’s go to the tape on that one…
Boy, looks like the belt to me.
Anyway, then Tulloch probably realized he’s an idiot and decided to bow out with a compliment.
Much respect to A Rod, great player. I'll leave it at that.
