Olivia Munn really happy with Aaron Rodgers

Olivia Munn is "really happy" with Aaron Rodgers.

The 'X-Men' actress has been dating the NFL player for over two years and things couldn't be better between them.

She gushed: "I'm really happy, things are good."

But the 36-year-old beauty insists that doesn't mean marriage is on the cards just yet.

Asked how she deals with constant rumors she is getting engaged, she told E! News: "I think you only deal with that when it actually happens."

For the time being, Olivia is looking forward to "making her own" holiday traditions with the 32-year-old sportsman and is particularly excited about getting a Christmas tree.

She shared: "Putting up our tree is big, we just got a tree last year.

"So, I'm excited about decorating the tree and having that up."

Earlier this year, Olivia revealed she had taken steps to preserve her fertility by having some of her eggs frozen.

She said: "I turned 35, then you're high risk. I did, years ago, freeze a bunch of eggs. I went to the doctor and did the whole test and he said, 'You know, you actually have a lot of eggs. You're really lucky.'

"A girlfriend of mine - we're the same age - she'd gone to the doctor, had a test and she had the egg count of a 50 year old.

"For me, this is the count you'll have until your 30s, even 40s - you'll always have a lot."

And the 'Mortdecai' actress thinks the practise has become increasingly more common and she believes every woman should freeze their eggs so they don't have to worry about their biological clocks ticking.

She added: "I actually started telling my friends about it.

"It's no longer on the experimental list and I think that every girl should do it. For one, you don't have to race the clock any more. You don't have to worry about it, worry about your job or anything. It's there.

"It's also just like, why not do it, because I see so many women who go through this. Doomsday is now like whatevers day, because I am prepared."

Aaron Rodgers (and his golfing nerves) returning to American Century Championship

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers will be back at the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe next month. Whether he’s able to calm his nerves on the first tee remains to be seen.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback is among the celebrities confirmed for the annual charity golf tournament, scheduled for July 19-24, according to the list of entrants on the event’s website. He finished 27th in last year's tournament. Rodgers’ former teammate, linebacker A.J. Hawk, will also be participating.

Rodgers played in his first American Century tournament in 2005, a few weeks after the Packers took him with the 24th overall pick in that year’s NFL draft. And he seems to be handling his nerves just fine in recent years. He’s finished 27th each of the past two tournaments and was a career-best 22nd in 2013. He finished in 58th place in his first tournament and had never finished higher than 32nd before his three-year run of success.

Last month, Rodgers told Hawk on his podcast, “The HawkCast,” that playing in such celebrity golf events makes him far more nervous than football ever does -- especially when he has spectators around him at the tee box or lining the fairway awaiting his shot.

“That gets me 10 times more nervous than the first snap in a game or a snap in the fourth quarter when you’ve got to make a play,” said Rodgers, who earlier this year played a round with President Barack Obama, retired astronaut Mark Kelly and Pardon the Interruption’s Tony Kornheiser.

Rodgers said his biggest fear is hitting a fan with an errant shot, something he thinks he may have done once.

“[I’m thinking] ‘Anywhere on the club face, anywhere up in the air so I don’t hit somebody,’” Rodgers said. “I think I hit somebody at Pebble Beach when I played in the pro-am a couple years ago. But I’ve been pretty lucky so far.”

Packers' Datone Jones: 'Aaron Rodgers is a genius'

Aaron Rodgers' 2015 season was a study in transitory transcendence inevitably regressing to the mean through little fault of his own.

Coming off a brilliant 2014 MVP campaign and playing without reliable go-to target Jordy Nelson, Rodgers raised his game to an even higher level in September, channeling an unshakeable confidence that allowed him to envision possibilities and interrogate limits that other quarterbacks don't even think to explore.

"He's as hot a quarterback right now as I can ever recall seeing," FOX analyst Troy Aikman raved during the Packers' Week 4 victory over the 49ers. "The ball placement and his vision of the field is unsurpassed."

As we referenced several times on the Around The NFL Podcast, Rodgers was displaying a rare athletic genius on par with Michael Jordan's brilliance in the 1990s.

Appearing on Tuesday's edition of NFL Network's NFL HQ, Packers defensive end Datone Jones used similar terminology to reflect on Rodgers' special qualities.

"He is a genius. Aaron Rodgers is a genius," Jones said. "He's a smart guy. Last year he won Celebrity Jeopardy. That's who he is in the locker room. He's a guy who's going to challenge you mentally. ... He's extremely smart. He knows the defense. He teaches his receivers the defense."

After listening to Rodgers' recent appearance on comedian Pete Holmes' You Made It Weird Podcast, it's easy to understand Jones' comments. Rodgers exhibits a refreshing intellectual curiosity, delving deep to ponder philosophical conundrums.

On the field, he's often playing chess while other quarterbacks play checkers, a sentiment Aikman shared last season -- and recently echoed by Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks.

Since 2012, Rodgers has thrown 12 touchdowns on "free" plays in which he has tricked the defense into an offsides or encroachment penalty. No other quarterback has more than three touchdowns on such plays over that span.

Rodgers has succeeded in marrying unique physical gifts with coach-like powers of pre- and post-snap recognition to elevate the art of quarterbacking.

In hindsight, we should have seen those spectacular early-season 2015 performances as the canary in the coal mine, evidence that not even the best quarterback of the past half-decade can continually pry open the margin for error when the offense is reduced to improvisational wizardry and tight-window throws.

Saddled with a shaky offensive line, an out-of-shape running back and the NFL's slowest collection of wide receivers and tight ends, Rodgers oversaw a stagnant Packers attack that posted the lowest points per game, yards per game, yards per play and third-down percentage since Brett Favre was under center in Green Bay.

For all of that adversity, though, Rodgers still authored two of the season's magical moments with a beautiful desperation Hail Mary to knock off the Lions in early December and an uncanny redux via amiraculous two-play sequence to send the Packers' thrilling Divisional Round playoff game to overtime.

Coach Mike McCarthy labeled the game winner in Detroit the best throw he's ever seen. NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth was equally impressed with the heave in Arizona, deeming it "one of the great throws ever made, moving to his left, falling away and launching a perfect throw."

Packers teammates have come to expect that brand of genius from their quarterback.

"You know what, the craziest thing, I looked around at everyone's eyes before the last play," Jones explained, "and you could tell no one had any doubt that we were going down and catch the ball. Because we've seen it already. We saw it happen already. We knew we could win a game with no time on the clock. We've done it."

Despite what he says, Aaron Rodgers motivated to face Chiefs' Alex Smith

GREEN BAY — As we were reminded Sunday night, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers never forgets a slight.

Rodgers’ comment about God being a Packers fan after Green Bay’s victory over Seattle was a well-aimed shot at Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who had invoked God’s name after Seattle ousted Green Bay from the NFL playoffs last season.

Not unlike retired NBA star Michael Jordan, Rodgers has always used slights, real or perceived, to fuel his competitive fire. If he doesn’t have a convenient chip on his shoulder for motivation, he’ll find one.

For Rodgers, the mother of all slights came in 2005 when San Francisco, needing a quarterback, had the No. 1 selection in the draft and evaluated him and Alex Smith for the pick. Aided in part by the recommendation of then-49ers offensive coordinator Mike McCarthy, San Francisco chose Smith No. 1 and Rodgers slid all the way to No. 24 before Packers general manager Ted Thompson snapped him up, thereby receiving one of the greatest gifts in draft history, chip on his shoulder and all.

We all know what happened after that. Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre for three seasons but has become one of the top quarterbacks in NFL history, winning one Super Bowl and two MVP awards. As for Smith, after playing for six offensive coordinators in his first six seasons in San Francisco, he was beaten out by Colin Kaepernick, then revived his career upon being traded to Kansas City in 2013. But while he has one Pro Bowl (2013) on his resume, Smith remains more game manager than NFL star.

Although Rodgers and Smith have become friends and McCarthy, after coaching Smith for one season in San Francisco, left to become coach of the Packers, you can rest assured Rodgers will take his head-to-head matchup with Smith personally when the Packers and Chiefs meet Monday night at Lambeau Field. He’ll be motivated to outplay Smith and prove he should have been No. 1. If nothing else, you could tell that by the way his coaches and teammates tiptoed around the question Thursday.

Asked if Rodgers was still ticked off at him for preferring Smith in 2005, McCarthy said, “I think Aaron’s very self-motivated from a number of different things. I’m sure he’ll enjoy answering that question this week. He’s off to a great start. It’s amazing it’s been 11 years now, this is his 11th season. Have fun asking him that question.”

Linebacker Clay Matthews had pretty much the same answer when asked if Rodgers was still bothered over his draft-day snub.

“I don’t know; you’ve got to go ask him,” Matthews said. “He’ll tell you no, so that’s a bad question.”

No, it’s not. However, it is a question that Rodgers wouldn’t touch. He and Smith have met twice as starting quarterbacks, with the Packers beating the 49ers in 2009 and the 49ers returning the favor in the 2012 opener.

Asked if he harbors any ill will toward Smith, Rodgers said, “Not really anymore. Alex and I are good buddies. I love seeing him and his family in Tahoe. He’s one of the guys I pull for. He’s a great guy. He’s been through a lot in his career with different coaches and teams now, and he’s done a great job. I’m really happy for him. He’s one of those guys I really pull for when I’m not playing him. So it’s good to spend a little time with him and (there’s) no animosity whatsoever.”

A better question might be: Does Rodgers have any animosity toward McCarthy? The coach who has provided Rodgers with the platform for his success in Green Bay didn’t call the shots for the 49ers in the 2005 draft, but he did participate in the process.

Rodgers said he and McCarthy seldom discuss that.

“I’ve mentioned it probably two or three times in my life,” Rodgers said. “The first time it happened, he brought it up our first year in 2006, like he was a little sensitive about it. I don’t mention it. It’s not something that’s on my mind. That’s ancient history as far as I’m concerned.”

Like Rodgers, Smith did nothing to create the draft drama in 2005. He admitted to having a hard time dealing with being the No. 1 pick early in his career because he was trying to prove to everyone that he was worthy of it. As the starter on a contending team, he’s happy with where he’s at right now, personally and professionally, though he does have the dubious distinction of not having thrown a touchdown pass to a wide receiver for 20 regular-season games, dating back to the 2013 season.

Not even the fact that Rodgers’ career has far outstripped his can faze Smith now.

“He and I through that whole process became pretty good buddies, even to this point,” he said. “Certainly, you understand. I mean, we’re all competitive. At the time, coming out of college, of course we’re all competing. You’re at the same position, so certainly you’re competing against each other. You can definitely understand it at the time, but at this point? Eleven years later, he’s got two MVPs and a Super Bowl. I think he’s done OK, you know? I think draft status, we’ve certainly moved beyond that.”

Anyone who understands Rodgers wouldn’t be too sure about that.

Seahawks' Russell Wilson stays humble in response to God comment from Packers' Aaron Rodgers

The back and forth between Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson over God and the outcomes of football games won't go away, in part because the media is guilty of keeping it alive.



Rodgers took a subtle jab at Wilson when the Green Bay Packers defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 27-17, on Sunday night by saying, "I think God was a Packers fan tonight, so he was taking care of us."

That came in response Wilson's comment about God watching out for the Seahawks during their come-from-behind victory over the Packers in the NFC championship game in January.

“That’s God setting it up, to make it so dramatic, so rewarding, so special,” Wilson told Sports Illustrated of the 28-22 overtime win.

Wilson was his usual humble self in responding to a question on the radio about Rodgers' comments earlier this week.

"I think that in terms of that comment and all that, everybody has the right to their own opinion," Wilson said. "I know for me, I'm just grateful that God has given me the opportunity to play the great game of football. I'm so grateful.

"I know one of the things my parents always taught me was just to continue to remain humble in your victories and your losses. I think that's just the thing that I'm grateful for — just to be able to play the game of football. I love it. Like I said, everybody is entitled to their own opinion."

Aaron Rodgers’ Brother Chooses Surprising Side In Feud With Russell Wilson

Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson have recently traded barbs over the role of God in football with Rodgers mocking Wilson after the Green Bay Packers victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

According to ESPN, Wilson did his best to not escalate the feud by simply responding, “I know for me, I’m just grateful that God has given me the opportunity to play the great game of football. I’m so grateful. I know that one of the things my parents always taught me is just continue to remain humble in your victories and your losses. And I think that’s just the thing that I’m grateful for, just to be able to play the game of football. I love it. Like I said, everybody’s entitled to their own opinion.” (RELATED: Aaron Rodgers Says God Is A Green Bay Packers Fan)

Russell Wilson might have a new ally, and it’s Aaron Rodgers’ brother Jordan Rodgers. Jordan took to Twitter to weigh in on the situation.
