Representatives from the Green Bay Packers organization have admitted to the press that quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ helmet was custom made with a thick tin foil liner at his request. The team says that Rodgers wears the tin foil helmet in order to “protect his brain from threats like electromagnetic fields,” but more importantly, “to prevent other teams from using mind control or mind reading during games.”

The custom helmet is now under investigation as the equipment does not meet NFL standards for safety; suggesting that every hit Rodgers has taken this year has likely done significant damage to his brain; possibly explaining the star quarterback’s bizarre actions and statements throughout the season.

As of press time a small portion of Packers fans were making the switch from wearing cheeseheads to sporting tin foil hats.
