Aaron Rodgers could practice on Saturday
Now that's a remarkable recovery. Hope he's not rushing back to his own long-term detriment...
The Green Bay Packers quarterback was actually eligible to return to practice on Friday, but coach Mike McCarthy uses Fridays before a Sunday game for recovery, treatment and meetings, and then puts the team through a short practice on Saturdays.
Rodgers has a workout scheduled for Friday, and barring a setback, he would practice Saturday.
"We're looking tomorrow to potentially practice him in a trial return," McCarthy said Friday morning. "That's the outlook. We'll determine that tomorrow after his work today."

Matt Lauer: Yeah, I'm fired for sexual misconduct. Now give me $30M in severance!
Page Six reports that Lauer's team is seeking for NBC to pay the host for the remainder of his $20 million per year contract, which still had a year and a half left before he was fired.
They are currently looking at his contract and determining whether the claims against him, which clearly would affect any moral clause in his contract and his ensuing termination would cut off his contractual rights to be paid through to the end of his contract," a source close to Lauer's team told the outlet.
Morality clauses are often added to contracts allowing companies to fire employees for publicly embarrassing situations that damage the company's image.

Google Finance has overhauled its format
and I hate it! Granted, I am always resistant when sites change their layout.
I wish we had the option to keep things the way they were arranged!

They put a lot of effort into this recruitment video. It's pretty fun (unlike many aspects of the actual job, I'm sure).
Eli Manning's consecutive starts streak ends at 210. Enter Geno Smith!
Geno Smith gets the ball against the Raiders this weekend while Eli rides the bench for the struggling Giants.
Manning has started 210 consecutive regular season games for the Giants, the second-longest streak by a quarterback in NFL history, behind Brett Favre's 297. He has started every Giants game since Nov. 21, 2004, when he took over for veteran Kurt Warner in his rookie season.
Coach Ben McAdoo made the announcement Tuesday. Rookie Davis Webb will also play before the end of the season, if not this week.
"Geno will start this week," McAdoo said. "Over the last five games, we will take a look at Geno, and we will also give Davis an opportunity."

Does Justin Trudeau's wax figure look like him? You be the judge

Many people on social media are calling for the museum in Montreal where the wax figure is on display to melt it down and start over again. What do you say?
The Montreal Grevin Museum revealed its newest statue last week as fans lined up to take selfies with an imposter Trudeau.
While his tailored blue suit, outfitted with a maple leaf pin on the lapel, and bright red Canadian flag socks may have accurately resembled the prime minister for some, it was his stance and facial expression that made the figure the subject of ridicule on Twitter.
