     I wouldn't know RASCAL FLATTS from THE LIL' RASCALS-except that a kind producer/friend here told me they're a country western music group.

     I also know that they performed in Green Bay last Thursday night.

     If you check out YOUTUBE, you'll see some folks dancing on stage during the concert.

     The video isn't exactly High Def TV; it was shot on a cell phone, but if you look closely, you'll see a gentleman dressed in a blue shirt who looks a lot like Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

     That's because it IS A-Rod-showing off moves that would-be tacklers see on Sunday!

     The fella with the short hair and the brown shirt is Fullback Korey Hall.

     I'm told Donald Driver entertained the audience as well.

     I was not a Rodgers fan when he first came on board.

     He was cocky and didn't seem to have a clue on the field.

     Since then, A-Rod has grown up, and I've learned that there is life in Titletown A.B. (After Brett).

     Rodgers has proved-as well as Mister Favre is doing as a Jet-that he's the man to lead the Pack.

     I saw that in Green Bay's season-opener.

     Since then, battling through injury and great expectations, Aaron Rodgers has won me over.

     More important, he's won over his teammates from day one-with dinners at his house, with his heart and tougness-and with the fact that's he's "just one of the guys".

     The dancing with Rascal Flatts is just one more reason to admire a guy who's really getting it-as a person-and as Brett's Favre's replacement-hopefully, for years to come.
