I like AR more everyday
I've been on the fence about Rodgers for a while, more than a lot of other people. I've been sick of him for years, but still couldn't help liking the guy on some level - or at least, finding some really likable things about him. Kinda like some friends many of us had in college, who never seemed to grow up as much as the others and you never knew what stupid thing he was going to do next to irritate people, but you still can't help liking him.
Now I'm done with him. He's completely lost...

Frozen. You can’t be posting straight up political links in the Packers area. You are welcome to in FYI which is where ALL things politics go. While it is mentioned on this thread that Rodgers is potentially running that is where it ends. Going deeper into the subject other than the football side of it is discussing politics and will get you booted for a week the first time around.
Yeah it’s complicated so best to avoid it. Thanks.
A gigantic HELL YEAH to that. We're Packer fans, and both QBs (now maybe all three) gave us a helluva lot of pleasure for a LONG time. I don't give two shits about the alleged crap, true or not, and shame on any ingrate fake Packer fans who do.Quote:

Saw an article in the Athletic in which neither writer could really believe Rodgers would really do such a thing; and if he did, they suppose he'd have to miss part of the season - thus the new Jest backup QB.
It's just not going to happen. How can it? Unless RFK thinks Rodgers's playing football on Sundays is as good as campaigning - that it IS his campaigning.
Guess we'll see.
It'll never happen. It would take RFK's people too long to learn the hand signals.
I'm not certain, but him running might make it difficult or impossible for networks to show games that he plays in. Which would cause a lot of financial headaches for the NFL, or force him to be on a reserve list (or suspended). The Jets might try to reclaim some of the bonus they paid him in that case. So I predict he will just play for the Jets until he gets hurt again.
HahahahahahahahaQuote:

One thing you have to wonder about: if he's considering this, how committed is he really to playing QB? Seems like if you are interested in multiple career paths at once, you aren't really committed to any. For a pro football player that's ... not great.
Ultimately he won't be a VP candidate, and RFK is a kooky truther who won't get enough votes anyway.
It does make for a lot of fun on social media on a slow day, though.
I remember when all you fuckers loved Rodgers. :lol:
Those days are gone, amigo,Quote:

Ah, you just hit on it. IF Rodgers accepts as the VP candidate, he's two-thirds of the way to "MVP"!Quote:

Clear the runway: Aaron Rodgers is preparing to land in New York as the newest Jet.
Green Bay and New York are finalizing a trade to send the four-time NFL MVP to the Jets, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Monday.
The Jets receive Rodgers, the Packers' 2023 first-round pick (No. 15 overall) and a fifth-round pick (No. 170) in exchange for New York's 2023 first-rounder (No. 13), 2023 second-round (No. 42) and sixth-round (No. 207) picks, as well as a conditional 2024 second-round selection that could become a first if Rodgers plays in at least 65 percent of the Jets' snaps this year.
Rodgers is a good QB but a total tool. I think fans loved Rodgers before all the weird stuff came out. Many fans saw Russell Wilson and his nanobubbles and Cam Newton with... whatever, and Michael Vick with his dogs and were willing to overlook Rodgers weirdness.
Being a jerk isn't against the law.
Joe Douglas was recently asked if he'd do the trade again and he said he would 15 out of 10 times. I find that funny; Rodgers has turned that team into a circus and probably has one year left in him. 2023 Jordan Love outplayed 2022 Rodgers and did it with a bunch of rookie receivers (and without Aaron Jones for half the season).
Rodgers was also recently spouting a conspiracy theory long debunked.

I'm becoming more convinced that he's got CTE and is a public hazard if given a platform and a microphone.
I wonder if his believing in these looney ideas are related to his psychedelic usage:

The thing is, all those changes aren’t necessarily all good. Neuroplasticity just means that your brain—and your mind—is put into a state where it is more easily influenced. The effect is a bit like putting a glass vase back into the kiln, which makes it pliable and easy to reshape. Of course you can make the vase more functional and beautiful, but you might also turn it into a mess. Above all else, psychedelics make us exquisitely impressionable, thanks to their speed of action and magnitude of effect, though their ultimate effect is still heavily dependent on context and influence.
I know a lot about psychedilcs, and I wouldn't rule it out. I'm not sure just how forthcoming he's been about his usage patterns, but the fact that he's gone on multiple multi-day ayahuasca retreats, speaks frequently about mysterious friends who are deeply into all sorts of out-there "new age-y"theories and philosophies, and seems to suggest that he uses psilocybin frequently and in fairly large doses all make it sound pretty plausible to me. If he's doing multi-day darkness retreats and multi-day psychedelic experiences, that means he's likely getting way, way, wa-a-a-ay inside his head at times when his mind is pretty malleable, and if (once he gets all the way in there) he's spending a lot of time thinking about the odd theories of his new age friends, there's no telling what the inside of his mind looks like anymore.Quote:

You, MadTown, are almost certainly the ONLY one in here who can really comment on what the guy is like as a person because you almost certainly are the ONLY one in here to have any personal interaction with him.
Everybody else is merely believing shit spewed by God damned media shitheads doing their damnedest to stir up trouble. Myself, I really don't know either, but your last line about not caring as long as he was performing in a GOAT-like way for the Packers, THAT is absolutely my perspective about him. Now that he's somebody else's QB, I really don't give a shit at all.
As for the supposedly weird things he supposedly said, don't discount the distinct possibility that he was just messing with those stupid media pukes.
Yeah, but now he's a WEIRD shit human being.Quote:

And there are a fair amount of people who don’t think he’s crazy or shitty.
Oh run, do you really have to inject politics into this thread? Lets bring this one to FYI so I can thump it like it deserves. In the meantime, please don't tempt me to get banned on the morning of the draft.Quote:

Most of all I think some people never learn about injecting politics into the football forum and I don't get to respond properly because I'll get banned.Quote:

I enjoyed watching Rodgers and he had some otherwordly seasons, but those days are long gone.
Favre was incredible for us and he's basically unmentionable to some now because of off-field stuff.
Love the player, strongly dislike the person's words/actions off the field. As a fan of the team, that's ok. Not a Packer now, he can take his crazy to the Jets.
So maybe let’s not idolize athletes at all… and learn that Love might be great on the field and a dick elsewhere too…
agree, and I don't. The NFL is full of bad people, and that isn't unique to the NFL.Quote:

There was a clip of him throwing behind garret wilson a few days ago and packer fans had to chime in that it was behind him. But the efficiency that he has when he uncorks the ball was a thing of beauty. Count me out of the hater list. Plus I love acid and psychadelics and odd ball thinking so I like the off field stuff too.Quote:
