It’s all because of Bill Snyder, who we told you about this morning, but it inspired Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to post a great tribute to Packers fans.
This was actually Rodgers’ first tweet that wasn’t promotional or a retweet of someone else since last offseason. You can probably assume he’s back on Twitter full time for this offseason.
They call themselves cheeseheads, we know them as our inspiration, life force, and our friends. You know them as #PackerFans #PackerNation https://t.co/m2zGYebcKR

Some former players also chimed in on the Snyder obituary/tribute.
Here’s Brett Favre, who was singled out for his TD toss to Andre Rison in his lone Super Bowl win, a moment described as the single happiest moment of Snyder’s life.
Sending condolences to the Bill Snyder family. I'm honored to have played a role in such a joyful memory of his life. Warmest regards -Brett

Rison (or possibly someone pretending to be Andre Rison) also tweeted about it.
My sympathies to the family of long-time @packers fan, Bill Snyder. Glad to be part of one of his fondest Packer experiences. #Family pic.twitter.com/Kvvt1qqRUl
