That lingering "Sunday Night Football" embrace that Greg Jennings over-shared with Aaron Rodgers was not particularly meaningful to the QB.
Rodgers was on ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" Tuesday, talking about how well the season is going for the Packers, when Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon asked about that hug.
"I'm going to change the topic entirely to go to the hug with Greg Jennings that seemed to last forever and ever and ever," said Kornheiser. "Was it as awkward for you as it appeared to be on camera?"
Remarked Rodgers: "It was a long hug. Prolonged one, yes."
These comments really broke up Kornheiser and Wilbon, who got lots of chuckles out of the interview.
"It seemed longer with all the cameras around," said Rodgers. "It was two competitors after the game and words were said and then we went our separate ways."
Indeed, as Rodgers went to the winning locker room and Jennings went to the losing Vikings locker room, his new home.
As you may recall, Jennings — a wide-mouthed receiver — took pot shots at his former teammate, Rodgers, in an attempt to boost the ego of poor QB Christian Ponder.
