On Thursday, Jordan Love compared his relationship with Aaron Rodgers to a ‘Master with a padawan.’ I had no idea what this meant. None. Completely lost here. Come to find out it is a Star Wars reference. Everyone knows it. And here I am on the outside looking in. This reminds me of when Channing Tatum goes back to high school in the underrated comedy ’21 Jump Street’ and all the nerds are popular. I get that Star Wars has grown dramatically throughout the years yet still I’m completely lost.

"Kind of a Master and a Padawan kind of thing." Jordan Love when asked to describe his relationship with Aaron Rodgers.

For other non-Star Wars people, here’s the definition. It’s a lot more dramatic than Rodgers and Love’s relationship, and it’s a tough look for Kurt Benkert

For most Padawans, their Master is the closest thing they have to a parent and a Master having more than one Padawan isn’t allowed due to the favoritism and jealousy that might arise. And the pair will be in a lot of life-threatening situations that typically engender closeness and emotional attachment.

Now, we’re all on the same page here. We know the relationship and know what’s going on here. Glad that we solved it. It’s not a surprise to me that this relationship has grown, and it’s much different than the icy relationship between Brett Favre and Rodgers. Why? Because Rodgers is a different dude, man. He might rage against the establishment, but he’s a good teammate despite what Greg Jennings told you.
