Jack's American Pub on Milwaukee's Lower East Side has posted a heck of an offer for the upcoming NFL season. It does require to you to cheer against former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but we suspect that won't be too difficult for everyone.

The "Jets Lose, You Win" promotion is pretty simple: If the Jets lose with Aaron Rodgers under center, the bar picks up your entire bar tab. Seriously.

As part of the compensation package in the Rodgers trade, the Packers will get the Jets' first-round pick in 2024 if Rodgers plays 65% of his team's snaps this year. It'll be a second-rounder otherwise.

The other dates include:
