UPDATE: Wis. Assembly Names 12-12-12 Aaron Rodgers Day

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The state Assembly has passed a resolution naming a day for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The resolution designates Dec. 12, 2012, as Aaron Rodgers Day. The Assembly passed the resolution unanimously on Tuesday and sent it on to the state Senate.

Rodgers, who wears No. 12, led the Packers to a Super Bowl victory last year and helped them to a 15-2 record this past season. The New York Giants defeated Green Bay in the playoffs and went on to win the Super Bowl.

@ Leader of the Pack,If you paid anyu attention at all you would know that this was brought to the assembly by a resident and fellow Packer fan that felt this was an important issue in our state. I for one applaude the effort to praise a good role model for my children . In my opinion there is almost too much seriousness in what is going on here in the state, country and the world for that matter! Live a little!

I am a true Packer fan and I think that this is nice of the state Assmebly to do and all, but I agree that they need to get their priorities inline and concentrate on more important issues like creating jobs in Wisconsin and helping the educational system out.

They act as if they have nothing more important to do. Once again, the laser focus is off target.
