Rodgers jabs Tulloch over discount double-check celebration injury
Aaron Rodgers hasn't forgotten Stephen Tulloch, the Detroit Lions' linebacker who tore his ACL in Week 3 while mocking the quarterback's famed touchdown celebration.
In Monday's win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Green Bay Packers' QB unleashed his trademark discount double-check belt celebration after a touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson - an act usually reserved for rushing touchdowns.
"I just wanted to remind people you can do that celebration and not hurt yourself," Rodgers said Tuesday on his radio show, tacitly referring to Tulloch's post-sack antics that ended his season. "It wasn't even really a big one. It was just a little one."
For what it's worth, Tulloch claims he was never impersonating Rodger's celebratory move.
First off I wasn't doing the discount double check when I got hurt. So my man A Rod can’t stop promoting his discount double move.

Tulloch followed that up with praise for Rodgers. No word yet from State Farm.
Much respect to A Rod, great player. I'll leave it at that.
