First of all, we know that Aaron Rodgers is still doling out free publicity for State Farm Insurance, performing his Discount Double Check move everywhere he goes. Here he is doing it at a Milwaukee Bucks game. This is going to get really sad in about 15 years, when he’s doing the move for a free beer at a Racine, Wis., Holiday Inn, and no one recognizes it. But anyway, we have more important news from that game. Rodgers surprised Miss America, Laura Kaeppeler, by walking up and introducing himself at halftime.
When former Miss Wisconsin Laura Kaeppeler was introduced during the nationally-televised Miss America pageant in January, she gave a shout out to the Green Bay Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After she won the crown and attended the Super Bowl in Indianapolis, fans and reporters kept asking whether she had a chance to meet Rodgers. Kaeppeler said she hadn’t, and didn’t expect to.
The 24-year-old Miss America sang the national anthem at Monday’s Bucks game in Milwaukee. And who happened to be there? Rodgers surprised Kaeppler during halftime in a guest suite at the Bradley Center.

Rodgers did not invent the “Discount Double-Check” move. Way back when, it was originated by none other than Freddie Mitchell when he was known as “The Peoples Champ” with the Philadelphia Eagles. He has so little, it is wrong to take this away from him.
