Trust us – a great sense of humor and some Photoshop skills go a long way if you want a career in sports social media, so we can appreciate the Winnipeg Jets having a little fun with Aaron Rodgers on Wednesday.
Rodgers, of course, told Pat McAfee that his intention is to play for the Jets this year, meaning the New York Jets. And, later, after Rodgers told McAfee he told Adam Schefter to “lose his number” when Schefter texted him about something, Schefty himself sent out a tweet with a picture of that text from Rodgers and the quote “confirming Aaron Rodgers’ report.”
Enter the “other” Jets, up there in Winnipeg, who hammered out this baby on Twitter minutes later:
Even HockeyReference.com jumped in as well:
And the responses were gold too, especially this one from a fan who knows Winnipeg and the Minnesota Wild are in the same division:
Not sure how center Jansen Harkins, who currently wears No. 12 in Winnipeg, might feel about bequeathing his number to a football legend turned hockey neophyte, but we do know this: there’s very few cities in the four major North American sports that have WORSE weather than Green Bay, so at least Rodgers will be used to the cold inside (and outside) the arena.
