If you're a real football fan, the best place to watch a game is from the sidelines. I can not recommend this highly enough. It doesn't even have to be on the NFL (good luck with that, anyway) or college level; I've had the pleasure of watching more than a few games on the sidelines under the lesser brightness of the Friday night lights, and you see and hear things that give you a better insight and appreciation of the action. It's an incredible perspective.

But it does have its drawbacks compared to the normal experience. For one, depending on your locale, it's probably cold. You've got to stand the entire game. There's always the chance that the physicality gets a little close to you, such as the time a tight end got pushed out of bounds, but in to me, which, despite my valiant (yet inevitably hilarious) attempt at a stiff arm, sent me flying backwards. And there are no wings, potato skins, mozzarella sticks, or beverages. Oh, and no bathrooms.

But as I found out last night at a movie theater in Brooklyn, football in 3D is close to merging the best of both these worlds. But it's not quite there yet.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers threw a patented Green Bay TD pass to Greg Jennings (quick post, missed tackle, easy run to the endzone).

However, as soon as Jennings was in the open field, Rodger ran over to the Packers sideline with his right arm down at his side. It isn't known if he hurt his arm on that play or not. The FoxSports broadcast team of Kenny Albert, Darryl Johnston and Tony Siragusa are speculating that it happened earlier in the drive when scrambled and dove for a first down.

Rookie Matt Flynn has been warming up, but they've yet to need him. Down 20-14 after the touchdown, Charles Woodson picked off Tampa Bay's Brian Griese and returned it for his own TD. Green Bay now has the lead and their offense is still on the sideline.

UPDATE: Rodgers had been seen throwing on the sideline but has since threw a cap on and seems as if he's done for the day. Flynn has been receiving instructions from coaches as if he will enter the game whenever Green Bay gets the ball back.

UPDATE II: Flynn is entering the game and will presumably play out the rest of the fourth quarter.

UPDATE III: Rodgers did return to the game as the Packers were down 23-21 late. Rodger went back to pass and was absolutely drilled. He got the pass away, but it went into the hands of a Buccaneers defender.
