"I told Aaron Rodgers, ‘I’ve got the best QBR in New York City,’" Love said after the game, via the New York Daily News. "He hasn’t played a game yet here, but I saw him sitting over there. We’re friendly, so I went and said hello.

"I saw him sitting there, so, might as well throw something at him."
