12 out Vs Chefs with COVID

[bobblehead]

The Packers, and Rodgers have broken all kinds of protocols.

Media Room Rodgers should have had a mask on in all his interviews. Rodgers threw a Halloween party last weekend and there were supposedly between four and twelve Packers there. Having 4 or more and him not wearing a mask is a violation. I'm not sure if he's supposed to wear a mask in locker rooms. But the management f'cked up this one. They must have known.

And AROD knowingly misled the media and fans and he either did it flagrantly or was just AROD being AROD. Either way, he should have known better.

We're getting some fines; let's just hope we don't get draft picks taken.

Last year Darren Waller had the audacity to be maskless at his charity event with other players and he was hit with 300k fine. If the NFL is consistent, and I expect them to want to make an example of someone, they will likely hit Rodgers with about a million in fines for flagarantly ignoring the rules.

[bobblehead]

While I agree in general with you, it's clear the NFL dumps this on each team to enforce and when things get called out the teams pay the price

But lets be honest. If they were ignoring several openly unvaccinated players doing pressers that were broadcast across the U.S. in violation of protocol the entire thing was a wink and a nod.

Edit: I guess what I really mean is that if they TRULY believed in the protocols set forth and believed it was necessary for safety they wouldn't have ignored what was openly happening all this time. Saying "well, you will be punished if the shit hits the fan, but we will ignore it until then" is akin to saying "we don't really think you are putting anyone at risk, but if you make us look bad by not posturing and playing the game we will punish you"

In effect I guess I am saying their complete inaction and ignoring of all the violations PROVES that its about image, NOT safety.

[bobblehead]

They asked him if he was vaccinated. He clearly manipulated his answer to avoid having to say out loud that he was not vaccinated. That is not telling the entire truth, which is a lie.

Can't really see how anyone is with Rodgers on this. I get taking a stand and saying it should be your choice...and I would support him on that if he was honest and upfront with it.

Instead, he's trying to have his cake and eat it too. He's once again pretending he's the smartest guy in the room and can pull the wool over everyone's eyes. He's going to cost the Packers cash. He may cost them an L on the schedule. His little Halloween party could force several other players to COVID protocol in coming weeks. All for taking a "stand" that he was too much of a pussy to actually come out and take the "stand" for.

I agree with you. Clearly I'm more Cole and don't mind the criticism for my beliefs, and if Rodgers didn't want to say he was unvaccinated he should have said "none of your business, next question". I understand why he did it, but I think it showed what many of us have said all along. The man is very thin skinned and took incredible offense to them drafting Love. It was never about anything else.

[bobblehead]

Rodgers lied in every sense of the word. He obviously intended to give the false impression that he was vaccinated. That's a lie. Homeopathy does not produce any sort of immunity, so that is literally a lie (even if Rodgers can't be wholly responsible for repeating it.)
This level of deception is not routine.



A Shaman chanting over burning incense is not a "prophylactic treatment." The quack medicine man spraying homeopathic elixir into Rodger's big nose is also not a "prophylactic treatment." .

The vaccines ceased being experimental in October 2020 after they passed extensive trials.
Calling them "experimental" nearly a year later, after a billion ppl world wide have been successfully vaccinated is demagoguery.

We live in an era where science sets limits for medicine. Vitamin D, ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, zinc, homeopathic nasal sprays, prayer and UV Light are not accepted as substitutes for vaccine by science. Natural immunity alone is variable and certainly inferior to natural immunity stimulated by vaccine. It is rational and well-supported to prioritize vaccine.

So I have a question for you. When Sparky? I'm pretty sure it was calls Ivermectin a horse dewormer is he lying?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Equine ivermectin comes in small tubes and syringes and helps eliminate “many types of worms,” often for less than $10. And lately it’s been hard to find.

Amid the recent clamor for the deworming agent — commonly used on horses, livestock and sometimes dogs and cats — as an unproven covid-19 treatment for humans, people who need to treat their horses with the substance have been faced with empty shelves and the fear that they could be mistaken for the people who are using the drug on themselves.

A) That was a lie
B) That wasn't my question

So now you are exactly like Rodgers. Instead of anwering the question you choose to play games.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I answered the question directly, explaining that what Sparky said was purely factual.

[Harlan Huckleby]

BTW, plenty of athletes have said they aren't going to discuss their vaccination status publicly. That is an honest and defensible position, even if some will see it negatively. AROD chose to lie to burnish his image, keep a halo over his head.

[call_me_ishmael]

Can we just have a discussion about this specific situation without politics and snark? Is that so much to ask? Good lord. Take it to FYI.

This is a discussion about the Packers and the situation they're in, the scope is narrow. Unquestionably this hurts the team this week. Hopefully he recovers and is back in action for next week. Hopefully Love answers the questions that Packers leadership have one way or another.

Our hero says he's listening to Joe Rogan's advice on how to battle COVID-19 and he's also taking Ivermectin.

Kevin M. Kruse @KevinMKruse
Look, as a Chiefs fan, I'm actually fine with all this.

In fact, maybe Rodgers can get Dr. Rogan to write a prescription for Aaron Jones while we're at it?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Complete meltdown. Far worse than Favre's dick pics and other foolishness.

[King Friday]

He's a critical thinker. You know...like Terrence Maddox. He's got two poses for you.

If they fine Rodgers for his Halloween party with more than 4 players there and no mask, I can see that. If they fine him for putting God damned media pukes at risk or worse yet, for lying to those God damned media bastards, that absolutely sucks. Either way, it shouldn't come back on the team - and won't, and fines, even if it is up in the millions, means little or nothing to somebody with Rodgers' money.

Rodgers should be fined up the ass; the fact that he knowingly mislead us all IMO shows what an shitfaced know it all asshole he really is. But he's smarter than everybody. Only AROD knows best.

The team is going to take some hits as well; I just hope its not draft picks
