The Green Bay Packers finished up their first week of OTAs on Thursday with a closed practice, and apparently the team was released for the weekend in time for a quick drive down Interstate 43 to Milwaukee. That much became readily evident on Thursday evening, when left tackle David Bakhtiari and quarterback Aaron Rodgers showed up at Fiserv Forum to cheer on the Milwaukee Bucks in game five of the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals.
What happened during a timeout early in the first quarter was inevitable. In the first two playoff series, Bakhtiari hyped up the crowd by chugging beer, first a single one in the first round against the Detroit Pistons and then two straight against the Boston Celtics in the second.
