Totally random, and not that it matters, but Rodgers was wrong when he said neither he nor Romo had won a playoff game yet..Romo beat the Eagles pretty handily in the Wild Card round this year. Easily forgotten because they got spanked so badly by Minnesota, but still...

I agree with a couple of things SC said in here but have a slightly different spin on the chip on his shoulder.
I think he's tired of hearing know nothing journalists spit vitriol about the job him and his teammates are doing, so he's giving it back. The, "hopefully they hire somebody who knows what they're saying to take your job" and "you suck" comments were pretty classic.
I think it is a good idea that sports guys come out and trash the bad media. They should not get free passes on their idiocy.
And then there is the stuff on #4. I don't think Rodgers will ever open up about his predecessor, but if AR gets a ring or two, I think he'll point to those as the only success that matters and that in itself is a monster slap in the face to #4.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

I happen to agree with AR's take on Mike Tirico. That guy is very accurate, reliable and when he has an opinion, very, very right a shocking amount of the time. I miss him on the radio.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

My first question is why is he having this conversation now?
My second question is how did I not know Aaron Rodgers was having a twitter fight with Todd McShay before the draft:
The most obvious reason Rodgers would hold a grudge against Kornheiser, outside of production meetings that the public knows about, is that Kornheiser kept harping on letting Favre go and keeping Rodgers as a questionable decision all through 2008. Even his broadcast partners told TK to let it go. I doubt that sat well with Team Rodgers.
Wilbon, TKs partner on PTI, is also the one who gave birth to someone's signature for a while: "I am Ted Thompson, and I am smarter than everyone else".Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Tirico is vanilla pudding to me. For a play by play guy he speaks a tremendous amount and adds little. On the NFL telecasts, I thought he was also trying to shoehorn in statistical anomalies when there was no time to do it in a three man booth.Originally posted by JustinHarrell

This is great. I think everybody who knows anything about scouting, the draft, and college football knows that McShay is full of shit. Hell, the guys at College Gameday on ESPN watch more tape on college players than McShay does.Originally posted by pbmax
The fact that ESPN gives McShay such a pedestal is beyond me. Kiper is kind of ridiculous, but he at least does his legwork and knows a thing or two. Well, at least the old Kiper who wasn't afraid to criticize people...</delurk>Comment

Tirico is a solid play-by-play guy. His problem is what Aaron Rodgers identified...Kornhole doesn't bring anything to the telecast except a couple stupid lines of sarcasm. Tirico often has to try to bring the banter back on subject after Kornhole goes off on a wild goose chase, which is why he seems yappy.
Tirico was boring as hell on the radio though...he's too vanilla for a medium where you need to be more outrageous to drive the meter. Here in Columbus, our late afternoon sports guys laugh about how low Tirico's ratings were when he was on and how many phone calls the station got wanting to pull the plug on him.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

I learned to really respect what he said. Maybe I'm boring, because I'd rather someone be right than entertaining.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

I can't stand Kornholio. I detest his visage, he appears "smelly" on screen, if there is such a thing. I totally agree with Rodgers subjective opinions on this guy.
I also can't stand Troy Aikman. I always groan out loud when he opens his yap. I loathe it when he comes to Lambeau.Comment

Ok, this is just scary....my best friend and I nicknamed him "stinky" about 5 years ago because we both bet he had nasty BO just based on what we saw of him on screen.Originally posted by Tarlam!
I actually like Aikman though...he isn't afraid to point out when the officials suck.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

OK, but apart from that and sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, public health and peace what have the Romans ever done for us?Originally posted by bobbleheadComment

Homer is a very good play by play announcer for Marquette basketball, he really gets jacked up, and he jokes around too. Also interesting to note they asked ARod who he thought the best QB's in the league are and he mentioned Tom Brady, Payton Manning, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Phillip Rivers, but Favre wasn't mentioned.Originally posted by BF4MVP
Thanks Ted!Comment
