Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player over the weekend at the NFL Honors Ceremony on Saturday, and host Seth Meyers made sure that he slipped in a joke at the expense of the Packers star.
Seahawks Ignore Their Best Player On Biggest Play Of The Season
According to USA Today, Meyers opened the show by performing a monologue, and he touched on a variety of topics all around the league. He took shots at New England for Deflategate and Andrew Luck's neck beard, and he also mentioned Green Bay's epic collapse against Seattle in the NFC Championship game, much to the chagrin of the Packers star and girlfriend Olivia Munn.
This guy. 2-time NFL MVP. Like. A. Boss!! Never been more proud to stand by someone.

The collapse gave the Seahawks a ticket to the Super Bowl, and it will surely stick with Packers players and fans for a while, as they appeared to have the game locked up with just a few minutes left.
What Is Marshawn Lynch's Future With Seattle?
"MVP finalist Aaron Rodgers is here tonight, give it up for Aaron Rodgers," said Meyers. "Aaron had a lot of memorable moments this year, that time in Week 3 when he told everyone to relax, and more recently that time in the last five minutes of the NFC Championship game when he said 'WHY IS EVERYONE RELAXING? NOW IS NOT THE TIME OR THE PLACE FOR THIS FOOLISHNESS!'" Rodgers gave a slight chuckle at the joke, but Munn was not amused. She later does laugh at the joke, and even added that she was just showing solidarity for Rodgers.

She also later chastised USA Today for writing a headline that made it sound like there was some kind of controversy between her and Meyers.
