OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[run pMc]

According to Carton, all this happened before Bill O’Brien, the former head coach of the Houston Texans and most recently the offensive coordinator of the Alabama Crimson Tide, was named the Patriots’ new offensive coordinator. Carton also claims that Rodgers’ camp stated that the quarterback would retire if he were traded to the Patriots.

Bill O'Brien was hired in late January, by the way.
I'm sure the NY media will pick up on this and get Rodgers' take on it all, complete with revisionist comments.

As for BO'B, I'd probably rather play for Saleh and Hackett too. LOL
The inevitable comparisons to Brady likely made it a non-starter for AR (even if Brady's NE teams were largely better).

Personally, I don't make a lot out of it, aside from the reported timing of the trade inquiry. SF inquired about Rodgers too, as I'm sure many teams did, however casually. Anytime a marquee level QB is likely to be traded a team would be negligent to at least determine the asking price.

Rodger also trolling GB a get via I think media sending a msg to our rookie QB asking him how he likes AROD's old locker. And all thise stuff about how this is the most fun playing football he's had in a long long time; what a shitbag.

On the other hand the Flower in drill work last week in a QB/WR Drill say the WR's running the wrong route and came running out yelling at the WR coaches telling them they have to be better. The media dropped their jaws. With Karen gone does the Flower take leadership of his team ?

I didn't hear this but honestly it sound like the AROD I used to like.

Doesn't sound like he was trying to be a douche; sounds like he wanted everyone to know he's the cool guy who can still connect with other, younger players.

The truth is or seems to be that Arod needs to feel pissed off, that ol' chip-on-the-shoulder, that "the world disrespects me" feeling in order to perform at his best. And he didn't have that in Green Bay any more. He'd signed a new contract, became assistant GM.

Now, if the Packers had hired some crackerjack PR firm to conjure up some outside entity that they could convince Rodgers disrepsected and hated and underestimated him, he might still be a Packer and playing at a high level. Maybe. But instead they decided the assistant GM role wasn't working out, so they took that away. Once they did that, all Rodgers had to do was decide that meant they were no longer respecting him and probably didn't want him any more, and ta-da! Chip on his shoulder, though it could only really work if he was traded to another team, if only to confirm his suspicions that he was no longer respected and wanted by Guter and the top brass.

And by the way, they were right, the team: that assistant GM role did not work out. They tried it, tried Rodgers's "run it back" approach with all the vets he wanted, but then there was no chip for Rodgers to use for motivation, and, well, we know how the season turned out. Even before he broke his thumb, if you were watching that team you knew they were a pretty shaky bunch.

became assistant GM

A future HOFer shouldn't be anybody's assistant. There's the problem.

I thought Rodger's wisecrack was funny. But he became a pain in the ass the last 3 years, I see very few ppl unhappy about his exit.

Damn a few weeks break and the worst of the worst returns!

How do we start recruiting hot chicks ? Do we need to find some gals on onlyfans ? lol Is Mazzin still around ? Favrechild was feisty. Guessing she was hot

[run pMc]

Also thought it was funny how MLF said the team was in better shape conditioning wise this year, wonder if that was a shot at some ex-players who were not taking off season seriously last year.

A shot. A message to future players and young guys about what he expects going forward. Which is more likely. I think LaFleur is human, so I don't discount a shot, but I also think he is a professional and isn't living in the past worrying about trolling Rodgers or past players. Guys who are worrying more about proving they were right in the past usually fail the future. I hope thats not what LaFleur is doing.

think the fella that doesn't think he needs offseason work had anything to do with the jets cancelling mandatory minicamp?

if they held the camp and he didn't show because "he didn't need it", it would have been a media shitstorm in new york

Possibly. What was the "official" reason? I would think the smoke rolling in from the north would make for a reasonable excuse.

The official reason is that since the Jets have the HOF game, they start camp a week earlier, so the minicamp was not needed.

[run pMc]

The HOF game serves as a good enough reason.

Besides, when you can't be bothered to show up for mandatory minicamp, the "I'm All-In" stuff and 'leadership' can get questioned by others on the team, especially those who are fighting to make the squad.
Can't have the NY Post posting stories quoting anonymous sources about such things.

“You know, words are so interesting,” Rodgers said according to Pro Football Talk. “They have such power in their spells. There’s a reason it’s called ‘spelling,’ because the way that the letters are put together have such power.”

such a shitbag

“You know, words are so interesting,” Rodgers said according to Pro Football Talk. “They have such power in their spells. There’s a reason it’s called ‘spelling,’ because the way that the letters are put together have such power.”

So Rodgers takes a pretty big pay cut, after milking the Packers for all he could. That's a passive-aggressive middle finger if ever there was one.

Here's an analogy, and if you are female or gay or bisexual or anything else, please know there are equivalents, of course:

You have had this girlfriend for a long time. Hottest chick around, bar none or maybe only one. But as time goes on, she becomes more and more high maintenance, and you realize one day that she hasn't given you head in a long, long time. And she's telling you who your friends should be. You go along with that for a couple years, though you're flirting with a younger woman - not sure if she's even as close to as good in bed as your girl, but again, your girl is becoming more and more reluctant to do all the dirty things she used to do.

Finally, you tell her she's not going to determine who your friends are any more, and so you break up. Although she seemed at times like she wasn't really into you any more, she's hurt and disappointed but in her passive aggressiveness, she starts spreading word on the street that it was you who was really at fault. Soon enough, she's dating a guy across town, and you're dating the girl with whom you've been flirting. But then your now-ex-girlfriend's new guy is letting the world know that she's fucking like a dirty girl and she can't get his dick in her mouth fast enough or often enough. Hell, she's even swallowing. She's also working out again and looks like she's in damn good shape. You're not sure how your new girl is going to work out, but you also know your ex is doing all that just to get back at you, because she felt slighted.

You can either get all hung up on the controlling old girlfriend, or you can teach your new girl how to swallow and hope she's got some natural talent to go along with it.

I don't think he does a good job of articulating the benefits but there is a lot of recent studies and data and that that suggests he's right about the benefits of psychedellics in therapeutic ways.
