Miss America Laura Kaeppeler still has not received call from Packers QB Aaron Rodgers - NFL News
On Sunday Miss Wisconsin Laura Kaeppeler won the Miss America beauty Pageant 2012 and a night later after her crowning she revealed herself to be an avid Green Bay Packers fan and to top it all off used the media to tell Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers
to give her a call.
On Wednesday appearing in a television show the 23 year old beauty told her host that she was just joking around but Rodgers has not called her yet.
"It has just made so many headlines. It was really just my way of being humorous ... but he hasn't called yet,"
The news made headlines across Wisconsin since two of their most famous celebrities were involved and Rodgers himself was bombarded with texts so much that he started following the crowning while also watching the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos
take on each other in the Divisional playoff rounds.
Rodgers speaking on a radio show on Tuesday said that he was happy for Kaeppler and in a week where Green Bay Packers were knocked out of the playoffs, Wisconsin winning the Pageant was a bright spot in a bad week.
"So eventually I clicked over," Rodgers said, "and actually I clicked over when it was down to the top five and was amazed as it went four, she's still up there. Three, she's still up there. Two, she's still up there. Is she really going to win this thing?
And then, sure enough, she did. So I've got to give her a lot of credit for that.
"That's quite an accomplishment. A whole year of getting to do all of that Miss America stuff. That's exciting for Wisconsin, the one bright spot over the weekend."
The Packers star will now have a lot of time on his hands to make the call if he wants to as the Packers season surprisingly ended at the Divisional round of the playoffs while being one of the favourites to reach the Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis.
Rodgers had a brilliant 2011 season passing for 4,643 yards and 45 touchdowns for a top quarterback rating of 122.5 but he was entirely subdued against the Giants being repeatedly harassed as the Packers lost 37-20 at the Lambeau Field.
