The internet is good for a lot of things. Calm, level-headed reactions are not one of them.

Hence, Green Bay Packers fans are now convincing themselves that quarterback Aaron Rodgers' girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn, is the reason for their fearless leader's poor play and winless record in the team's last three games.

Sometimes it's easy to forget that professional athletes have lives away from the field, and you never know what could be going on in their personal lives.

The funniest part about all this distraction business is that President Barack Obama just recently told Bill Simmons that he compares himself to Rodgers because of the quarterback's ability to stay calm under pressure.

This rumor won't flame out until the Rodgers and the Packers start playing well again, but given the team's crop of injuries, that might not be until 2017.
