I don't know any Packers fans that call him that.

My nickname for him.......................GOD

Yeah, I'd heard about that one: "Godgers" back at the ESPN board I believe, but it doesn't seem right. Sounds like a prairie animal or something ... "Man look at that godger go," ... nah, plain ol' Aaron Rodgers sounds better.

does a-rod actually have a problem with being called a-rod? or does a-rod mind that a-rod is called a-rod?

I don't know anyone that calls him A-rod. I think Godgers came from some guy with a huge hardon as an anti-Favre poster on ESPN and an unhealthy obsession. Almost everytime I hear someone talk about him, they call him by his first name, or his last. Greatness doesn't need a nickname :)

A-Rod is Alex Rodriguez's nickname, not Aaron Rodgers. The nickname A-Rod doesn't even sound good for Rodgers, as it should sound more like A-Rodge.

They also call Andy Roddick A-Rod. I feel you though NothernLights. I feel like an old ass man saying this but in my day, there were actual nicknames. Whether it was a play on words with their names or someone in some way shape or form calling a player a bad ass, the art of the nickname is lost today. People don't even try anymore. Then you have someone like AD All Day Peterson who can't shake the bunk ass nickname AP. I beg people to either try or don't give a person a nickname. A little effort here!!!

I've never heard him called A-Rod. I would expect it from the media but I doubt the fans do.
