It's Victory Monday in Chicago Bears land. Nothing hits better than the day after a win, especially when it was as convincing as the Bears' Week 5 victory over Carolina was.
Today is just a victory lap disguised as a work day, which is why I'm using the time that I'm being paid to write about football to make fun of Aaron Rodgers. It's a fun and healthy exercise that the whole family can enjoy!
In case you weren't awake early Sunday morning – or even if you were and just didn't want to watch a Jets-Vikings game – I'll quickly recap it for you: Aaron Rodgers was bad. Like, three interceptions bad. (We're not going to focus on the 5-0 Vikings part of this story.) He was so bad, in fact, that he could almost be confused for a 40-year old quarterback who didn't have it anymore. That's just what people are saying.

Take, for instance, Stephen A. Smith. He loves Aaron Rodgers! He has a whole bit about him and everything. But even Stephen A. is over it now, which is what happens when you throw for under 250 yards on 54 attempts.
That was enough to get Stephen A. on social media to play the hits. Maybe Stephen A.'s specific brand of punditry isn't for you – that's okay – but reader, I promise you this one's different. This one may make you reevaluate your relationship with First Take. If nothing else, it's a wonderful moment of zen.
Stephen A. Smith is a Bears fan now and his Tweets (kinda) prove it
Man,,,Whatever!😀. I don’t know who the hell the @Vikings were playing against, but it damn sure wasn’t that Baaaaaaaaaaaddddd Man I know and love. Someone clearly stole @AaronRodgers12 identity, b/c I didn’t know who the hell threw those 3 int’s today. Never saw him in my life. https://t.co/fBSf55gNvK

Well, one man's trash is another man's treasure. There's something wonderful about watching everyone come together in unity to talk about how poorly Rodgers played.
The internet can be an awful, miserable, divisive place, but moments like this remind us all that it's not always doom and gloom. You can always find good content – you've just got to poke around.
Personally, I think I can speak for Bears fans when I say that everyone was extremely confident that was New York Jets franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers out there throwing three interceptions. That was very obviously former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers out there putting the 10 extra A's in baaaaaaaaaaaad.
I did my own research and came to the conclusion that Rodgers is washed.
