Ed Reed would have picked off this pass and returned it for a touchdown.
Or, at the very least, he would have picked off the pass, run it back 40 or 50 yards, then lost the ball trying to lateral to a teammate. But still!

“Thats a Fumble” is trending on Twitter, proving that America loves football and hates grammar.
Packers GM Ted Thompson gives a celebratory postgame thumbs-up. He’s sending a very similar celebratory photo to Brett Favre, only Thompson will be using a different finger.

Shirtless fans celebrate on the streets of Green Bay. It was 25 degrees outside.
No one show Roger Goodell this photo, or he’ll be tempted to schedule a Super Bowl there.
Not everyone has fun at Media Day. BJ Raji sees no humor in cheese head hats.
Raji is only upset because he tried to take a bite out of the hat earlier, and the disappointment was too much for him.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers photobombs 3-year’s worth of team captain pictures
Just one more reason Aaron Rodgers is the best. My favorite of the set is in the lower left corner, where Rodgers appears to have Q-tips hanging out of both nostrils.
From 2005. A look at the workout that made Aaron Rodgers at one time the prohibitive favorite to go #1 in the NFL Draft. Unfortunately for 49er fans, Mike Nolan and Scott McCloughan made a different kind of no-brain decision.
“By the end of the 38-minute pro-day workout in Berkeley’s picturesque Strawberry Canyon, there were enough ooohs, aaahs, whistles and knowing nods to cement Rodgers’ status as the top quarterback prospect for next month’s draft. The most important opinions, of course, were those of new 49ers coach Mike Nolan and his hand-picked personnel chief, Scot McCloughan, the men slated to make the No. 1 overall selection. Nolan, not surprisingly, was in no mood to reveal which way he may be leaning-toward Rodgers, Utah quarterback Alex Smith, Michigan wideout Braylon Edwards or Rodgers’ fellow Cal student, American Idol washout William (She Bangs) Hung — but you can bet that what he saw Thursday enhanced the local QB’s chances.
Going into Thursday’s workout, sources familiar with the 49ers’ thinking said Rodgers was the prohibitive favorite to go No. 1. If so, the decision is now a no-brainer.”
One hidden strength of the Green Bay Packers: A multi-racial assortment of guys with long hair.
Since the days of Mike McKenzie, Green Bay has been known for having guys with dreadlocks that extend well past the end of their helmets. From Najeh Davenport to Al Harris, it was a proud tradition. But now, with linebackers A.J. Hawk and Clay Matthews, the Packers have proved that ill-advised hairstyles know no racial boundaries.There’s a lot of unity on this Packers squad. The kind of unity that comes from hard work, shared hair care tips, and shared resentment about how unfair it is that someone can tackle you by your hair, and it’s legal!
The team’s average hair length is so long they lost Al Harris and didn’t miss a beat. Whether your hair resembles the Predator, an old shiftless hobo, or a professional wrestler’s ratty old Thor wig, there’s a home for you on the Packers squad.
The only thing more embarrassing than Atlanta’s performance today was John Abraham’s crotch-based sack dance.

He can throw short, he can throw deep, and he can even run the ball for TDs. The only thing left for Aaron Rodgers to learn? How to spike the football.
Aaron, you gotta let go of the ball before it hits the ground, buddy!
