GREEN BAY - It's time for our exclusive one-on-one interview with Aaron Rodgers 'Ask Aaron" web extra, where you ask the questions!  Today Aaron talks about the best part of training, and the surprising place he likes to go to 'get away'. 

Michelle:  "Hey Aaron, my name is Michelle from Watertown, I'm just wondering what your favorite part of your training is daily, and what your least favorite part of training is?"

Aaron:  "Well, it is a grind at times during the season.  I think the best part is just being with the guys in the locker room.  There's a lot of practical jokes that go on during the week.  You have to to kind of break up the monotony of the routine, so I look forward to who's gettin who, or if I'm in on the prank, seein how the prank goes over.  The most difficult part I think is the meetings, just because, you know, you kinda go through the weeks, and you go through the same stuff over and over, and you enjoy the practice field, but sittin down all day is just probably the most difficult part.  I don't think people realize the amount of classroom work that goes into pro football.  No, you know what, you gotta be dialed in all day, and I got a great quarterback coach who at least makes those meetings stimulating.  It is a lot of mental stuff, watching film and and watchin the same stuff and trying to pick up new stuff when you're watchin that, and makin sure you're really assignment smart on your own game plan, so those are the meetings that are the toughest, but the most important as well."

Will and Bryce:  "Hi Aaron.  Where's your favorite place to go on vacation?"

Aaron:  "You know what, my favorite place to go on vacation would have to be San Diego, which I consider a vacation because I live in Green Bay for the season/off season, and San Diego for the off season, so that's like a vacation for me with the beach and the weather and my situation down there.  So it's, you know, after a long season, I like to travel a bit, and I've taken some trips of the country, but there's nothin like kinda being at home in San Diego that kinda feels like a vacation."
