Duuuude…
At last night’s postgame news conference, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wore the exact sweater made famous by the iconic movie character “The Dude,” from the Coen brothers’ classic The Big Lebowski.
Here, see for yourself, via ESPN reporter Jason Wilde:

Twitter, as you might expect, totally ate it up:
@jasonjwilde @gb_fisher No Lie, this just made me an Aaron Rogers fan. One of my all-time favorite movies.

@jasonjwilde just made up for a season’s worth of sub-par offensive play with one sweater!

Not a big fan of the Packers, but it’s impossible to hate on Rodgers wearing The Dude’s sweater.

@SportsCenter should have came to the press conference with a White Russian and a rug.

Mostly, people took the opportunity to break out the movie’s famous catchphrase:
