VIDEO: Christian Yelich Joins Packers' Chug-Fest and Slams Beer at Bucks-Raptors Game 5

But wait! There's more! Just when you thought that Aaron Rodgers and David Bakhtiari and Matthew Stafford were having all the beer-swilling fun Thursday night, the reigning NL MVP stepped up and threw back a cold one. Check out Christian Yelich courtside at Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Fiserv Forum:

Apparently disappointed that he was left out of the fun, Yelich did his thing despite a little bit of spillage. That's nothing to knock him for, of course. After all, he performed a heck of a lot better than Rodgers did, who showed his clear disapproval after the Bucks crowd applauded Yelich.
When it comes to chugging ?

Christian Yelich > Aaron Rodgers.

Sadly for the Yelich and the rest of the Milwaukee faithful, the excitement was short-lived. A fourth quarter comeback by Toronto sucked the air out of the Fiserv Forum, plunging the Bucks into a 3-2 series deficit and putting the Raptors on the brink of the NBA Finals. If there was ever a time to pour oneself a drink, it's surely now.
