[bobblehead]

I was getting a reply ready for him but since he is not a repeat offender like Tex or you he got off light. I do appreciate you being my CI, been looking for one.

I'm just trying to dodge temptation and ruin the 20 minutes a morning I enjoy here.

Aaron Rodgers broke his thumb in the Week 5 London game at Tottenham in 2022 and he’s playing in the Week 5 London game at Tottenham again.

He tore his Achilles in the Week 1 MNF game in 2023 and he’s playing in the Week 1 MNF game again.

NFL might just be screwing with him.

And against his NFC nemesis!!

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and edge rusher Haason Reddick are skipping the team's mandatory two-day minicamp, the team announced Tuesday. Both absences are unexcused, meaning both players are subject to fines.

Reddick's no-show, not entirely unexpected, escalates a contract dispute between the Jets and their biggest offseason addition. Rodgers took the required physical and participated in the team's media day, both on Monday, before leaving town.

"Aaron and I spoke before OTAs started," coach Robert Saleh said. "He's very good in communication. He's been here the entire time. It's unexcused, but he had an event that was very important to him, which he communicated."

As my wife's ex said to me. "She's your problem now". Amend for gender and its how I feel about this news. Thanks for the memories. Good luck being a Jet.

Saleh has to put a face saving spin on this, but I suspect he is pissed. It’s tough to run a good minicamp without your starting QB.

I'll bet Matt LaFleur likes his job more than Saleh likes his.

I'll bet Matt LaFleur likes his job more than Saleh likes his.

I wonder if LeFleur likes his quarterback more than Saleh likes his.

Interesting how he says “good in communicating” as if they are equals at work or in the relationship. Sounds more like “Erin is nice enough to tell me what he is going to do”.

Speaks volumes of where the expectations are. He's doing what're he wants but it's okay because he's telling us when he decides to ignore the rules everyone else needs to follow.

Yep, A-Rons gonna A-Ron regardless. Homeboy better come out firing TDs though cuz shit will get ugly this year.

Its a nice way of saying "he told me no way he was gonna be here instead of just not showing up"

I think the soul crushing weight of his $40M dead money cap hit last season was the 2nd largest in NFL history. Today it feels like such a tremendous value.

Yeah, it feels like GB got the better of the trade. I don't miss the McAfee nonsense and all his offseason weirdness. Oh, and the on-field body language. The TV coverage would go to Rodgers every time for a reaction to a play. Was annoying after a while.

Maybe he feels like he doesn't get anything out of minicamp practices, but I'd think his teammates would. Agree the media and fans will not be nearly as kind to him this year, especially if he doesn't play well.

Meh, he's a distraction and a hypocrite, but he's also someone else's problem. Without him GB feels like it's out from under a shadow, and a fun team to root for again.
