Nobody on the Packers gets Aaron Rodgers' jokes

If you've been near a TV in the last few years, you know Aaron Rodgers has a decent sense of humor. From teaming up with "Da Bears" guys to Hans and Franz for State Farm Insurance commercials, the Green Bay Packers quarterback seems quite comfortable with classic Saturday Night Live characters. But according to a report in Monday's Wall Street Journal, the funny doesn't necessarily translate to the locker room.

“His jokes are what we call ‘Algebra 2,’ ” said Daryn Colledge, a Miami Dolphins offensive lineman and former Packers teammate. “I think a lot of people don’t get it.”

The report mentions that while much of the 2011 (and likely 2014) NFL MVP's material is over the head of most of his teammates, they don't mind one bit.

“He’s about as relaxed and calm in this locker room as you can get,” said Packers offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga. “His demeanor has an effect on us. There’s never any panic in this locker room. Everything about him says, ‘Take a breather; we are going to be all right.’ ”

Evidently, one of Rodgers' favorite things to do is quote lines from the 1987 comedy classic "The Princess Bride." Of course, the references are lost on many of the 31-year-old quarterback's teammates, who are mostly in their early 20s.

“He does make jokes that fall on deaf ears,” said fullback John Kuhn. “But that’s what happens when you make a lot of jokes.”

The Packers host the Dallas Cowboys Sunday in a divisional playoff game.
