No matter what's said about the Mike McCarthy-Aaron Rodgers' relationship, this -- from Rodgers today -- sounds like it will be the default answer: "I don’t need to respond to every pundit out there. I don’t know many times I’ve got to stand here and tell you, I don’t feel like I need to convince anybody about Mike and I’s relationship. It’s a close-knit relationship. We would finish every time that we talked -- whether it’s Monday afternoon up on his office or the Thursdays we used to spend in the team room or Friday upstairs or Saturday in the QB room -- and we’d hug each other and tell each other we love each other. I mean, we had a close-knit bond. Again, I don’t need to respond to every person out there who’s got an opinion. That just opens up a whole door of stuff that I don’t want to be a part of."
