Aaron Rodgers refuses to sign autograph for fan because he didn't know enough details about a 2005 game

Context:

During a celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe, Aaron Rodgers declined a fan's autograph request because the fan couldn't recall specifics from a 2005 Packers-Saints game. Rodgers, who was a rookie at the time, quizzed the fan about the recipient of his lone pass in that game, which the fan could not answer. Despite the fan's admission of being a teenager during the game, Rodgers insisted on knowledge of the game's details as a condition for signing. The exchange, captured on TikTok, highlighted Rodgers' suspicion of the fan being an 'autograph hound'. This incident comes amidst Rodgers' potential retirement tour following his signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers for a one-year deal.
