AR wants out?!

[King Friday]

“ Or perhaps by referencing The Last Dance they were suggesting that they’ve already had their last dance together, and Rodgers is preparing to announce his retirement. That’s what some sports books are bracing for.”

The sports books only relate to odds. They don't brace for anything. They take something off the board when it becomes clear it is a vast unknown, not because they expect something. When they expect something, they put odds on it.

I hear what you’re saying, but consider this:

“ Where there's smoke there's usually fire. There's a ton of smoke that says Aaron Rodgers is going to retire before the Packers first practice on Wednesday.

That smoke is coming from multiple sports books. According to Bill Huber at Sports Illustrated, Las Vegas sports books are preparing for Aaron Rodgers to retire.”

Who is going to show up to a shareholders meeting to make an ass of themselves when Rodgers' gripes are not even public knowledge. We can kind of guesstimate what is eating at him, but until he specifically identifies his mindset, I'm not pointing fingers at anyone...and it wouldn't be smart to go nuclear at a shareholders meeting.

Where the hell have you been? LOL. Seen any of the PTA meeting videos lately? People round here do stupid shit constantly.

Maybe so, but does anyone really think joe blow who no one even knows his name would be significantly better than Kumerow? If the star player likes him, why would you do that?

Giannis' brother doesn't belong on an NBA roster but the Bucks aren't fucking stupid, everyone and their mother knows why Thannis is on the roster and that is to keep more money in the family's pocket and to keep Giannis happy. No way would they EVER have released him before Giannis signed that big contract.

That is the sort of thing you do for stars. What have the Packers done for Rodgers? They paid him probably less money than he'd make from other teams, etc.

GREAT EXAMPLE ; I follow the Bucks very closely and I'd argue the Bucks did a few things to ensure Giannis was happy and stayed. Some teams have done the same for Lebron as well.

So was it arrogance of Gutebag/Marcia to not take the fact that the knew AROD is a challenging snarky lil prick into account, or perhaps inflated egos ?

I don't know, and I would not even scream it was wrong of them to ignore AROD's views. But in today's sports world there are risks.

I would pound the table saying this. If AROD retires it is EPIC FAILURE by Gutebag.

If it's at the point of no return, trade his ass and get something for your asset unless your cap is just too fried

ummm, what?

ummm, what?

OOPS; I should have known better than to give you credit for such well thought out points....HAHAHA

[HarveyWallbangers]

They should have taken my suggestion and traded Rodgers before the draft.

[George Cumby]

They should have taken my suggestion and traded Rodgers before the draft.

Yes

[texaspackerbacker]

Sheeeesh. Oh ye of little faith this beautiful Sunday morning hahahaha.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

They should have taken my suggestion and traded Rodgers before the draft.

There’s a rumor floating around the internet about the German Shepherd promising to trade 12 to the Broncos prior to the draft only to back out at the last second.

[Vincenzo]

They should have taken my suggestion and traded Rodgers before the draft.

Can’t argue with that because it truly looks like he sadly STILL wants off the team. I guess we should have got what we could have at the best time.

Or perhaps Aaron Rodgers is a piece of shit. Consider this written by Paul Noonan of Acme Packing Company;

“ we know he craves attention and derives pleasure from annoying people because of what he doesn’t say. Rodgers could put all of this ambiguity about his future to rest with a few sentences. They don’t even have to be definitive sentences. “Yes, I’m playing with the Packers this year, and then we’ll take a look at my contract, and discuss the future.” That would be a totally fine thing to say. “I want to be traded, I’m not happy, and I’m not showing up.” Also, a fine thing to say, though obviously more controversial. Rodgers isn’t subject to some kind of “football player confidentiality.” He can put this to bed whenever he wants.”

[Freak Out]

Who is his agent? What do they have to say?

This. One sentence, either way, settles all of this nonsense.

"I will play for the Packers in 2021."

or:

"I will not play for the Packers in 2021."

How fucking hard is it?

[Tony Oday]

I'm done with AR and DA, fuck them both.
