    Much ado about nothing. You think CHI or MIN wouldn't kill for a QB like Rodgers?

      A bunch of great points here.

      I'm sure that he was indeed sticking up for his guys -- players and coaches. The reporter in question was probably asking Bishop questions like "do you think Capers should be fired for this?" and "do you want Capers fired for giving up 579 yards to the 49ers?". And it was the day after their loss, so I'm sure he was still just livid. You can read it and think "oh, he's so petty, why say those things to the poor wittle weporters?" Or you can read it and think, "hey, he really gives a damn about this team".

      The Aaron Rodgers show really is a goldmine for Wilde. I don't think it's that unusual for an athlete to have one most trusted media member through which to disseminate his POV. If you listen to the show you'll notice that at times Rodgers is critical of media narratives and he's very savvy about understanding and articulating it.
      Here's what Bishop said:

      "You can't have a great defense and win the Super Bowl one year and then be kicked out the next year, or a year or two later," Bishop said. "I don't think it should work like that at all. I think Dom Capers is a great coach."
      You can pretty much figure out what the question was.

        There might not be any way to know who was asking the questions but all the reporters were there that day hoping to get end of year quotes from the players last availability in the locker room. It happened after McCarthy's PC.

        Bishop and some other defenders were the only ones to talk, no one on offense wanted to be interviewed.

        My bet is that with none of the bigger names talking and Packer Plus going to press, they had to come up with something to fill up the spaces between ads.

        I hope he is more careful. Because we aren't far away from the public narrative being Rodgers is playing well so the team and coaches must be letting him down.
        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

          Actually, I believe it was just the opposite. The reason they were talking to Bishop was that none of the members of the defense who played in the game made themselves available. Several members of the offense were interviewed.

              Yes, it surely does.

                    Even if he wasn't, he seems upset that Rodgers criticized the reporter, in the locker room, more or less to the reporters face, within ear shot of maybe a handful of people at most, so he publishes an article to the world criticizing Rodgers personality? Whether or not the article is accurate, it is a pretty lame approach.

                    Last year, during a season that went well, all they could do was gush about Rodgers leadership qualities, the get-togethers he hosted, his openness with rookies and newcomers, how in sync he and his receivers were, how he reached out to all players, etc. Has Rodgers now changed that much? I doubt it. Where were all theses criticisms last year?

                    It's no wonder athletes get fed up with reporters, and some simply quit dealing with them.
                    They need Al Harris back in the locker room. He'd get a group of reporters in front of him, tease the newest member of the pack and then berate any reporter who couldn't do his job. His was the only locker interview I've seen where the interviewee says, "That's the dumbest question I've ever heard." I miss him.

                      I'm sorry but the BS meter is nearing the redline with that article.

                      Don't think any serious person puts validity behind agent's, teammates relatives, etc. and their hissy fits.

                      The guy has taken a lot of flak for holding the ball, but has EIGHT interceptions all season. If he played chuck the ball like Favre did and he had twice as many picks and possibly missing playoffs then we'd the press squeal that he's not an elite QB.

                      The guy has his faults (being a little too thin-skinned), but that's relatively minor. I think there are about a couple of dozen teams that would trade for him in heartbeat if the Packers thought he was such a lousy leader and wanted to get rid of him.

                            My opinion on Rodgers is skewed. I think he is a really, really good player, I think he is an ok leader. He really has to work at on and off the field. I don't think he is a naturally gifted leader. I think his teammates like him all right and respect him, but I don't know if they will lay down and die for him, because I think they feel Rodgers won't do it for them. The on the field shit when he is pointing at his receivers or showing his displeasure at a dropped pass, a bad route, or a bad block pisses guys off because off the unwritten rule that guys can never do it to the qb. When they do, we vilify them without mercy. That is the stuff that ideally will get under teammates' skin.
