FOX6's Tim Van Vooren: "Alright, we are back at it after a bye weekend. We didn't have any James Jones withdrawals because we were able to chat with James last week. James, do you have Packers withdrawals when they don't play on a weekend?"
"A little bit, man," said Jones. "I like seeing them take the field. As well as they're playing, you know, I hate to see them go on a bye week and then they cool off a little bit because they are a hot football team right now."
FOX6's Tim Van Vooren: "You played a long time in Green Bay. You left and came back to Green Bay. How would you have felt if you had to stay in Green Bay for your bye weekend like these guys had to do?"
"Oh man, I really would of took advantage of it, man," said Jones. "Took time to get my body right, man, and be able to sit in the jacuzzi and ice up, all that good stuff. I like it, but I would have been a little angry, but I would taken the time to get my body right out there."
FOX6's Tim Van Vooren: "Have to turn it into a positive, no doubt about it, and they get a little bit of a trip this week to Florida, Tampa Florida, for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This game is going to be billed as Aaron Rodgers against Tom Brady. It's much more than that, but you can't get away from that storyline, James."
