Greg Jennings Allegedly Signs "Packers Suck" with His Autograph
The current Vikings wide receiver appears to have added an inscription to an autographed helmet.
Greg Jennings' animosity for the Green Bay Packers apparently has no end in sight.
His latest petty jab at the franchise includes signing his autograph along with a "Packers Suck" inscription on a Vikings helmet.
The best attempt at verification is this Twitter exchange:
@NoraTeele yes!

A message sent via social media asking whether the self-proclaimed Vikings fan (according to her profile) personally observed Jennings sign the helmet has, as of yet, gone unreturned.
Jennings has made several thinly-veiled criticisms of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, his leadership and the organization in general since signing with the Vikings in free agency during the offseason.
UPDATE: LombardiAve.com gets the Vikings fan to respond...
@lombardiave @fansided a Facebook friend posted it. He asked him to put that on it

Is this really news? either way Jennings can't be all that happy with his new team at the moment
September 17, 2013 at 05:47 pm
No, it's not news.
September 20, 2013 at 08:52 am
Exactly!
September 17, 2013 at 01:09 pm
You all heard that Ponder completed a touchdown pass to Jennings. Ya Tim Jennings of da bears.
September 20, 2013 at 08:53 am
Ha!
September 17, 2013 at 01:28 pm
Now I'm just loling at his trolling of us
September 17, 2013 at 01:31 pm
I am currently posting the Packer highlights from the weekend to Craig Jennings' FB page. He obviously missed them.
September 17, 2013 at 01:34 pm
Do you not think maybe this is a play on the Todd Haley "news" that he signed something as the "Chiefs Suck"?
Whom cares.. and maybe he was asked to sign it as such. Either way.. he is not a Packer at the moment, does it matter?
Personally... I think some of these guys like to wind-up the media with this sort of stuff.. just to watch them spin.
September 17, 2013 at 01:35 pm
Greg Jennings before was a jerk. Now he has just become an A**hole! His stats btw: 8 catches, 117 yds, ZERO TDs. And they are 0-2.
September 19, 2013 at 12:45 pm
Exactly. I mentioned this about a month ago regarding Jennings. He was a football player clutching a checkbook. He wasn't a Packer. Driver was a Packer. I said it then, I'll say it again about his marginal talent for playing football as well as "being hurt".....You'll find Jennings...either on the sidelines with a boo boo, or on the bottom of the stats list. Where ever he goes.
September 20, 2013 at 08:55 am
Nicely said!
September 17, 2013 at 01:47 pm
I'm guessing it's fake. I don't think Jennings is that dumb.
September 17, 2013 at 08:02 pm
yeah, this is probably photoshopped
September 17, 2013 at 08:07 pm
Or like... you know, written with the same marker by someone else.
September 17, 2013 at 08:46 pm
lol, I was thinking that same thing when I read it.. lol
September 17, 2013 at 01:50 pm
Sour grape!
September 17, 2013 at 01:58 pm
Ha-ha Greg. What a playful free spirit! Meanwhile, back in the NFL....
September 17, 2013 at 02:07 pm
Look at me! I'm famous!
September 17, 2013 at 02:07 pm
Okay, that's worse than Deanna Favre posing with the fan wearing a "Thanks Ted" jersey. Congrats, Greg. If you actually wrote this, you're now the biggest ex-Packer douchebag EVER!
September 20, 2013 at 08:56 am
Right on!
September 17, 2013 at 02:38 pm
Some people show their true class. Just like Jen Bielema on twitter after the Wisconsin debacle on Saturday night.
September 17, 2013 at 02:47 pm
Even with all he has said, I'd be shocked if he really wrote that, too easy to fake. Then again I would have never thought Deanna Favre would wear a "thanks Ted" jersey either, so who knows.
September 17, 2013 at 03:33 pm
Look, this is a guy who made it a public point to let the world know he consulted with Favre about whether he should leave for Minnesota. Obviously, it's personal. He's got issues. I didn't think he was this kind of guy but apparently he is. Good riddance.
September 17, 2013 at 03:57 pm
This has no relevance to Packer football. Move along, folks, nothing to see here.
September 19, 2013 at 12:49 pm
Agreed. But, just for a moment, I think people are interested because it's an oddity to actually see, and hear for a moment a true, authentic, certified jerk actually living amoungst the rest of us and not in a cage. :))
September 17, 2013 at 04:07 pm
Kind of weird. I don't see Jennings being that wound up and obsessed with the Packers. He's making pretty good dough. I doubt if this is the real deal. Probably a fake to get folks wound up.
September 17, 2013 at 04:43 pm
I just don't get how the guy got so bitter so fast. Was there some falling out behind the scenes we don't know about? I get him being a little upset that maybe Rodgers didn't fight for him to stay like he has for some other guys, but is that really the whole thing? Guy used to be one of the classiest packer people on the team. It's too bad, his jersey is just crumpled up in my closet now, gonna be wearing my 18 from now on. Oh well...
September 17, 2013 at 06:27 pm
He wrote what a fan asked him to write. Who cares? If we had anyone that had been on any other teams and they wrote something like that, we'd eat it up. He's a Viking now. I'm sure many Viking fans have asked many Vikings to sign something along those same lines, and they've obliged. It's fun.
September 17, 2013 at 06:34 pm
Jennings quit drinking Keystone, you have Bitter- Beer-Face. So glad you're wearing purple and saving Packers 10 million/ year. The 2 games vs. Vikings are going to be fun. For You, NOT!
September 17, 2013 at 06:52 pm
o ya vikes swallow bahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
September 17, 2013 at 07:11 pm
Eh, whatever. If AP somehow landed in GB, I.....well, I'd be hard as a rock, let's just get that out of the way up front...but if AP did this re: the Vikings I'd chuckle and move on in two seconds. I'm not getting bent out of shape because a second tier receiver near the end of his prime does the same.
September 17, 2013 at 09:24 pm
if you don't pay him any attention he might go away.
September 17, 2013 at 09:35 pm

how much did James Jones have?
September 17, 2013 at 11:42 pm
in other news, i've clogged the toilet at work 4 out the last 4 trips. i have, however, escaped identification, and giggle every few hours or so for 'no reason' while at my desk.
jennings news like this is just another unflushable. it's unfortunate that when he arrived in the toilet that is vikingdom, he went in sideways and got stuck - that must be the issue, because he's never been an incredibly enormous turd before. sometimes it's not the girth, it's the angle.
September 18, 2013 at 02:36 am
Why are people thinking this is fake?
Here is a story for you. In 2008, I went to the Packer draft party. James Jones was there for the autograph section. While waiting in line, I noticed everyone brought some Packer merchandises for the players to sign. I didn't have anything with me, so I ended up having them sign laptop. When it came James Jones's turn, I asked him to sign "The Bears Still Suck", and he did. I thought it would be funny for him to sign this being that the year prior, he had costly fumbles against the Bears which resulting in us losing. His signature still shows but his writing of "The Bears Still Suck" has sadly worn off.
The point being, I'm sure the players would write almost anything you request, especially something silly like "Whatever-team Sucks". Not sure how anyone would take offense to that.
Looking back at the draft, Jordy Nelson was the Packer's first pick. I remember everyone being clueless on who he was. Everyone was expecting Brian Brohm, who the Packers of course picked up later in the 2nd anyways. It is funny to think about how everyone was cheering and excited about the Brohm pick - "the most NFL ready QB" and how quiet it was on the Nelson pick.
September 18, 2013 at 06:28 am
What an honor to have Aaron Rodgers posting on this site! Could I get your autograph? And could you also add "Zoolander Rules!"?
September 18, 2013 at 06:50 am
Aaron RoGders... Attention to detail.
September 18, 2013 at 06:52 am
It gets a little deeper with each passing week.
When we play he'll probably have a bad case of alligator arms because he'll know we're coming for him.
September 18, 2013 at 07:59 am
Nothing to see here folks!
(Lets hope) GJ hasn't turned into Ray Finkle, from Ace Venturea, the disgruntled PK from the Miami Dolphins.ha Hope snowflake is OK.
September 18, 2013 at 08:02 am
#15, Ray Finkle, haha just had to do it:)
September 18, 2013 at 10:05 am
so over Jenning-let him dig his hole. When it comes time for him to retire it will change-would you want your name linked to a team with or without Lombardi trophies? ask Longwell...........he did the same thing
September 18, 2013 at 12:09 pm
why is anything what the would-be 8th WR on the Packers depth chart says news?
September 18, 2013 at 04:41 pm
So what if he did write it. He probably is in a some sort of coping physiological state.
I just watched SB XLV last night on ESPN2 and noticed how excited Greg Jennings was once the Pack won the game. It probably is very hard for him to deal with the fact that he will never feel that same excitement and joy again. His little girls were there and one made a comment about "what a mess" the confetti was. It's a shame that he won't be able to show his daughters another "mess" like that.
He has to be disappointed to knew that he will never have another national sponsorship deal like Old Spice. Those deals go to players that catch more than 55 balls per year.
Let him say/write/tweet anything he wants. The Packers have Aaron Rodgers and will be competing for SuperBowls until he can't throw it anymore. Greg Jennings got an extra million dollars and will soon be forgotten about.
September 18, 2013 at 05:41 pm
So at last. We now know who Cow42 is. #15 from the Vikings. Thanks for the SB memories.
September 18, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd.
September 19, 2013 at 06:52 am
The bottom line is the Vikings are 0-2. Jennings traded Aaron Rodgers for Ponder for what is clearly nothing more than GREED. The Vikings were the product of a easy schedule last season, and a amazing RB. Nothing more, nothing less. Can't wait to see Casey Hayward shut his ass down when they finally do play and Hayward will be healthy. He's a bitter, bitter, small man who deserves to be where he is. A few lousy catches for a few rat ass yards and ZERO TD.
September 19, 2013 at 07:20 am
Really does anyone care what a Viking does, not me nope not one bit.
September 19, 2013 at 07:35 am
pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground.
