Just prior to the Packers' recent victory over the Chicago Bears for the NFC Championship, head coach Lovie Smith was concerned about the way the Packers closed out the regular season and then made it all the way to the final playoff game. He decides to travel to Green Bay and find out if Coach Mike McCarthy would disclose just what his secret was for the recent winning streak.
Lovie travels up to a Packers practice and asks Coach McCarthy, "Coach, how is it that your team is so good? What's your secret?"
Coach McCarthy responds by calling Aaron Rodgers over. "Aaron, who's your father's brother's nephew?" Rodgers answers, "Why coach ... that's easy. It's me."
McCarthy turns to Lovie and says, "You see? That's the secret, Lovie ... a smart quarterback. You've GOT to have a smart quarterback."
Thinking he's finally got all the tools he needs, Lovie returns to Chicago. During practice the following morning, he promptly calls Jay Cutler to the sidelines. "Cutler! Who's your father's brother's nephew?" Jay looks perplexed, thinks a minute and says, "Coach, can I get back to you after practice on that one?" Lovie, disgusted, says, "OK."
Now back out on the practice field, Cutler approaches Devin Hester. "Devin, coach just asked me the weirdest question. Who's your father's brother's nephew?"
Hester replies, "Duh! That's easy. It's me!"
So ... after practice, Cutler catches up with Lovie.
"Coach, I think I've got your answer. My father's brother's nephew is Devin Hester."
Lovie angrily responds, "No ... No ... NO, you flippin' idiot! It's Aaron Rodgers!"
We all breathe the same air.
