Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgersweighed in on last night's debacle in Seattle on his weekly radio show today. Among his quotes: "First of all, I've got to do something that the NFL is not going to do, and I have to apologize to the fans." Rodgers also said: "The game is being tarnished by an NFL that obviously cares more about saving some money than having the integrity of the game diminished a little bit." Finally, there was this: "This is an NFL that gambled on some low-level referees, including the guy who makes the most important call last night, who has never had any professional experience."
