Tim Boyle plays for the Green Bay Packers. He’s their third-string quarterback. He’s also apparently a big-ass fan of Aaron Rodgers.
His teammate.
Boyle wore a Rodgers jersey in and out of Lambeau Field on Monday.
Why?
“No, I did not lose a bet,” Boyle said. “I’m wearing it because it’s a badass jersey.”
Goddam right!
Boyle actually went to the Packers Pro Shop and bought this jersey, according to that palooka Demovsky.
Boyle wasn’t active on Sunday night, but he probably will be this week, considering the Rodgers’ knee injury. What we do know is Tim Boyle is doing the best thing. He’s ingratiating himself to Aaron Rodgers.
Maybe he’s what we used to call a brown nose, but Rodgers obviously likes the kid. And the Packers may have a find. Boyle is one of the undrafted rookies who stuck on the final 53-man roster.
He started at Connecticut, where he threw one touchdown and 13 picks in three years. Then he transferred to powerhouse Eastern Kentucky and, as a senior, threw 11 touchdowns and 13 picks. And he’s better in the NFL. At least from what we’ve seen.
Terrible coaching in college, it appears. Kid has the arm.
Wants to be Aaron Rodgers? So be it.
