The fact Aaron Rodgers still is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL was made clear during the Green Bay Packers’ victory over the Chicago Bears on Thursday night. What isn’t clear, though, is whether or not Rodgers has a friend that brings a Pomeranian to bowling night, or if he’s ever had a rug that really tied a room together.
Even if those two things aren’t true, Rodgers apparently is a big fan of the “The Big Lebowski,” as evidenced by the sweater he wore to his postgame press conference after Thursday’s game.

What do you think? Leave a comment.
Rodgers certainly has the funds to wear something a little spiffier, while Lebowski, the iconic titular character played by Jeff Bridges in the 1998 film, wore the sweater because he couldn’t afford much else, and didn’t really care one way or another. (Warning: The video below is NSFW).
Rodgers’ fashion statement apparently was no accident, as ESPN’s Jason Wilde said Rodgers confirmed the reference with one perfect phrase:
“The Dude abides.”
