12 out Vs Chefs with COVID

[smuggler]

Davante was vaccinated and got Covid, had mild symptoms. Aaron was unvaccinated, got Covid, had no symptoms. But these are young healthy men. The least susceptible population group.

Are you sure AR had no symptoms? Did you listen to his full interview w/ McAfee? He made the statement "he's feeling better" which leads me to believe he actually DID have symptoms.

Yes, says he's a reasonable person who looks at facts and bigger pictures, not uninformed talking points. Calling homeopathy fake (placebo) is clearly factual, and supported by research. Acting like a placebo is the same as a tested vaccine is flat-earth level idiocy. If Rodgers had initially said "unfortunately I have allergies to some of the ingredients to the vaccines (slight stretch of the truth, assuming he isn't lying about having a PEG allergy) and I will be following the protocol for unvaccinated players for the best health and safety of myself and my teammates." Nobody would be saying anything about him now, and there would not have been a backlash then.

Excellent post. And to your point, Lazard, who did not play word-games and mislead people, has not been subjected to the intense criticism that Rodgers has. For good reason.

And to Tex, who claims Rodgers did not lie: Let's say Tex thinks his wife is cheating on him, and asks her if she came "straight home" the other night after shopping. She says "I did not go out of my way, so yes, I came straight home," and that turns out to be true - because her lover lives right along the route home from the shopping. Is she lying, Tex?

Not exactly, right? She did, strictly speaking, tell the truth. But she massaged the words and meanings to mislead you, with the intent to deceive you.

That okay?

In the eyes of Tex, anything Rodgers does is okay. Well, except for that long hair.

First, PFT alone will blow up anything Rodgers. And at that time any unvaccinated player was catching hell in the media.

Second, Aaron misled people who had no business knowing if he was vaccinated anyway. It wasn’t his wife, coaches or teammates. It was the media.

Good catch.

THEN he shoulld've said no comment instead of knowingly deceiving everybody. This is all on AROD. He gets no defense from me and I've been one of his apologists much of the offseason.

He's a know at all asshole who is a great NFL quarterback.

I want him to stay because he gives us a great shot at winning a SB and I am willing to close my eyes as to what I think of him as a good person.

He had symptoms and will need to be asymptomatic.

We know Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 and is not vaccinated. He has admitted to both. We also know that he has had symptoms because he said so Friday on McAfee’s show and said Tuesday that “I've been obviously dealing with the COVID and I feel like I'm on the other side of it.”

Rodgers sounded like he was still a little under the weather, sniffling at times during the interview, but he also said he was feeling a lot better. The medical staff will be evaluating him for symptoms before approving his return to the building.

According to the NFL’s 99-page COVID-19 protocol document, Rodgers must pass a cardiac test to determine whether there are any complications from his illness. It is the starting point before anything else is considered.

Then, it must have been at least 24 hours since his last fever without the use of fever-reducing medications, his symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath) must have improved and McKenzie must have approved his return.

This is an honest answer. And most of us are like Bretsky, in that we don't think too much of what kind of human beings these people are - if they don the green and gold, we root for them. I'm like that too, except that this last incident with Rodgers for some reason just crossed a line for me.

I'm not exactly sure why. But it did.

With everything that's happened and the NFLs scrutiny of the Packers, It seems like a big hurdle for Rodgers to play this weekend. Not that it won't happen, but I can't see the Packers medical staff taking any slight symptoms lightly.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Something tells me 12 has the coaching staffs full support.

What are their options?

I agree with Fritz that AR is hard to accept. In fact, can't think of another time where I cared about an athlete's character enuf to be turned-off. His pissing on vaccination and spreading dumb ideas is my beef. i can live with the lie, and even the haircut.

AR is so much better than Love that he will play. Rodgers could be sick and tie his left arm behind his back and be better. Not joking. We'd see a lot of shotgun formation, the occasional fumble, yet still he'd be better.

[texaspackerbacker]

Fritz: Technically not a lie, and there's a fine line between intent to deceive and merely answering the rotten question as asked, not giving additional information. I condone any of the three when dealing with the God damned media.

Joe: You got that right about the damn long hair. Fuck John Wick - a bad look and a fairly bad movie. I'm NOT ok with Rodgers throwing interceptions. And if, heaven forbid, he ever ends up on some other team, trade, FA, or whatever, I'll dump him like a hot rock - he becomes the enemy.

If in fact he had symptoms and now doesn't, that's pretty good news, as the symptoms, to my knowledge, don't come and go and come back. If he didn't have symptoms, theoretically he still could up to ten days - like that's really gonna happen.

[RashanGary]

I’m ok with guys lying to the media. No biggie.

[call_me_ishmael]

You understand the media is a proxy for the people, no? We don't get face time with Rodgers, the media represents the fans and asked questions the fans would like to know the answer to. I am not okay with it. It isn't a huge deal, but it speaks to his character and attitude.

I am frankly surprised he didn't pull a Braun and go full Dino Laurenzi defense here. "It was a tainted test, the chain of custodyyyyy"

He is lucky that he didn't lie about something a whole lotta people cared about or he'd have sunk his career and off-season earnings. Braun was never he same and lost many millions.
