GREEN BAY — Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday he and his quarterbacking predecessor, Brett Favre, both spoke at a small, private service last week in Bart Starr’s native Alabama honoring the Packers legend who died at age 85 last week. “I met him back in 2006 at Fan Fest, actually, and I remember the feeling of excitement meeting him,” Rodgers said. I got excited when I heard ‘sign,’ but then I saw (it was) ‘sign for one day,’” Rodgers said. Asked if he thought Nelson could come back if called upon, Rodgers replied: “Jordy’s got that farmer strength and shape. If we’re going to start highlighting and glorifying binge drinking, we need to be very careful about that slippery slope.”
