The reason I looked up Aaron Rodger's name on the interwebs to check-out his Wikipedia page is, while watching my first full football game of the season at random between Green Bay and Pittsburgh (OK, well, I had seen a Green Bay hype video via Twitter which got them bonus points, but this is beside the point.) last week, I noticed amongst the players behavior, for some reason he just had the expression and demeanor of a really smart man, thrilled to be there and all, but wondering why he's a top blah, blah, blah NFL quarterback which is rockstar enough and all, yet it's all he's ever been able to be known for because he happened to be so good at it at a young age and it's what this culture at this phase of history rewards lavishly for having the right combination of traits and abilities to fulfill certain roles exceptionally well, and although none or all of this make be true, I have no idea, I was just an interesting observation of a complete stranger from an all but blind distance, but yet I did find it interesting that when I went to Wikipedia to see if there were any other interesting background aspects to his life's story besides just his amazing ability to throw a football and endure one of the very perplexing (getting hit by huge guys after focusing above normal sane levels to complete token passes for large sums of money amongst other things) roles our society idolizes, but there wasn't, and I am still curious about people as people not as what their roles are if their roles are irrelevant to mine, but it must be weird as hell to be super intelligent like Dolf Lundgren and what not, and then only seen and recognized much less idolized and revered for some small fun-but-token ability of yours to do or look like whatever, that you were for a large part just born gifted and blessed with above others to start.
But now football is the same as it was and even more interesting huh?
