One of the great things about getting to write for Get More Sports on a Monday is the fallout from NFL Sunday. Therefore, what happened after the Green Bay Packers defeated the New York Giants handily in New York?
Allegedly, a pep talk between Aaron Rodgers and rookie Daniel Jones. However, if you click the video and listen to it; it comes off a little strange. At least to me. Indeed, Rodgers was in a jovial mood after throwing four touchdowns against a Pat Shurmur defense in the snow. On the other hand, Jones threw three interceptions and the game was never really close after the third quarter.
Aaron Rodgers had some postgame advice for Daniel Jones.
"Learn from these days, and the good ones, too."

Here is what Rodgers says to Jones while slapping hands.
“Hang in there brother. Long career right? Learn from these days, and the good ones too.”
Obviously, that seems a little un-cool to me. Without question, Jones knows he had a tough day and Rodgers goes a step further to remind him of just that; that he had a bad day.
Furthermore, Jones has done just fine during his rookie campaign. He’s thrown 17 touchdowns alongside just eight interceptions. All of this for a team that is bad and needs to fire the head coach the day the season ends.
Meanwhile Aaron Rodgers is here to tell Jones how to be. I don’t know, this didn’t come off to me as cute as it should have. However, maybe it’s just tough to tell the dialect of a situation when looking at a video on social media.
What do you think – was Aaron Rodgers taking a little shot at Jones – or was it all in good spirit?
Right now, the Packers are 9-3 and vying for one of the top seeds in the NFC playoff picture; which is cluttered with great teams.
