He might be playing better than anyone in the playoffs, but don't expect any gloating from Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers quarterback is the public equivalent of vanilla ice cream.Which makes Rodgers one on-field moment of celebration all the more curious. After big touchdowns, Rodgers dons a pretend championship belt, an action that most shrug off. A year ago, though, Darnell Dockett ridiculed Rodgers' actions after Arizona beat the Packers in overtime in a wild-card playoff game. Last weekend, Atlanta's John Abraham mocked the belt move after a sack of Rodgers.
"It's not the first time someone has done that," Rodgers said at his news conference in Green Bay as the Packers prepared to play the Chicago Bears in the NFC championship game. "The whole title-belt thing is never meant to be toward anybody. It started at practice, and it's not meant to show up people. But some people, the Cardinals last year, there were different players, John Abraham decided to do it against me.
"So not a big deal."
