A growing competition has been heating up ever since Chico native Aaron Rodgers signed to play with the Greenbay Packers. While some have been die hard Cheeseheads before Rodgers, the fact that a local kid has grown to be one of the best NFL quarterbacks have given this town even more reason to wear green and yellow. But let's not forget where we live... Niner Nation. And in Niner Nation, there are the 49er faithful. The battle between fans has always been healthy and it made the NFC Divisional Playoff game very intense.

The game ended bittersweet for Rodgers/49er fans who lost a chance to see their favorite quarterback make it back to a Superbowl, but were happy to have a team they love make it the the NFC Championship game. Does that make it a lose-lose situation or a win-win?
