Injured Aaron Rodgers, spotted in Chicago, is kind to Bears fans

The Bears-Packers rivalry is one of the most heated rivalries in all of sports.

Packers fans don't like the Bears and vice versa. So you wouldn't expect a rival player to receive a warm welcome on enemy territory.

Except that's what happened to injured Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers recently, and he allegedly was "nice" right back to Bears fans.

Julia Nicoll and her 11-year-old son Peter were visiting from Mount Prospect, when Peter spotted a man he thought looked like Rodgers as they were all preparing to cross the street.

"I'm whispering to him like (in a doubting tone), 'Really? I don't think Aaron Rodgers is standing right next to us on the corner on a Saturday evening,'" said Julia, who told her story to the Green Bay Press-Gazette.

It just so happened that Rodgers was in town as his team played the Bears on Nov. 12. and he was taking a pre-dinner walk in the Loop.
