From this point forward, we shall refer to Packers QB Aaron Rodgers as "The Temp."

Fact:

1) Aaron Rodgers bears a striking resmeblance to B.J. Novak, aka Ryan from "The Office." Seriously, just put a helmet on Novak. It's unnerving.

2) Ryan's starting role on that show was as "The Temp."

3) If Aaron Rodgers continues to be sacked at his current pace, he will become so gunshy and/or injured that his status as a starter in the NFL will be temporary. Hence, The Temp.

Any questions?
