Aaron Rodgers received a mysterious package this week. In true Aaron Rodgers fashion, the three-time MVP who spent previous offseasons ingesting hallucinogenics and flushing out his system with clarified butter wasn’t afraid to open it up and take a look at what was inside.
And this is how Aaron Rodgers, Packers quarterback, wound up with a bust of Nicolas Cage, Academy Award-winning actor and crazy person, inside his locker at Green Bay training camp.
Weeks after channeling the lesser god of bizarre acting choices by showing up to his first practice dressed as Con Air hero Cameron Poe, Rodgers took his Cage appreciation one step further. He graced the Packers’ locker room with the a less-than-lifelike approximation of the star behind Leaving Las Vegas, Raising Arizona, The Wicker Man and The Humanity Bureau.

“It’s Nic Cage,” Rodgers told a delighted throng of reporters after Tuesday’s practice. “Somebody just sent this to me yesterday with no message.”
After someone in the crowd suggested it could be a spy camera, Rodgers noted “it might be” before placing it back in his locker. This is wonderful news for the rest of the NFC North, who now know the easiest way to spy on the reigning champs’ locker room is to mail Aaron Rodgers some dumb crap.
