OFFICIAL AARON RODGERS THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[MadtownPacker]

Thats a good point red.

He got off easy, has an excuse and the money. Would have preferred to see the mfer abused for a few games and some new choke job stories that didnt include the Packers.

[red]

hope it was all worth it for him, the way he left and burned his bridges on his way out, then pissing on those ashes, and then shitting on those pissy ashes by being mr. teammate, and playing in the preseason and saying how he needs to simplify things for his recievers.

alienating all those fans, for 3 fucking plays

are the jets fans going to still treat him like he walks on water after giving them just 3 plays? nope

a rods ego is going to take the biggest hit, losing 2 fan bases like he did

I wanted to see how he did this year, but the timing of this injury is too crazy for me not to crack a smile.

Going into my senior year of high school I trained my ass off, I looked like Tarzan. I was gonna be a real football player. In the first 10 seconds of the first practice I blew my knee out running thru those rope drills. THe assistant coach who drove me to the hospital looked at me like I was a shame to Manhood everywhere as I cried in the car. He didn't realize I was crying about the crushing disappointment of losing my Rocky dream. 8 months of grueling work in the toilet. It's OK for a real man to cry when his dog dies or his horse dies or he loses his chance of manly glory.

AROD seemed to take his disaster better.

Take the 2nd round pick and never look back.

From Milwaukee channel 56, Jack's American Bar successful/failed experiment of covering everyone's tab when Rodgers starts and loses.

I never cheered for Rodgers to get hurt, but I also will feel no sympathy for the guy. It was his decision to not move into retirement when he was seriously considering it. It was his decision to move on to a team with one of the worst OLs in the NFL. It was his decision to not learn to throw the ball more quickly as he aged like Tom Brady did. The bright lights of NYC were a siren call that he could not resist, and his boat crashed against the rocks. Much worse happens to people every day who don’t have the financial security of Aaron Rodgers. I’ll feel sympathy for them instead.

[Freak Out]

The Jets oline is bad and would have been holding that team back, however this was an unfortunate freak jnjury. Wonder if he plays next season.

Ron Wolf would have protected him.

[RashanGary]

And guys pushing jaire or smacking him…. I never feel angry about that. Dude is a great player and he’s hilarious at trolling. He has it coming. He knows he’s gonna get smacked. That’s part of the fun. He’s still in their head and messes up their focus. He’s winning even when he gets punched.

[RashanGary]

But I have zero empathy for fans talking shit and then someone rubs it in their face when they’re wrong. To me, everyone should be capable of taking flack when they talk shit or they shouldn’t be talking shit. I laugh guilt free when these people are butt hurt. I laugh at their pain and feel good about it.

[RashanGary]

BTW, I really am not a COMPLETE asshole, I feel bad that Rodgers went down. but i did LOL at that too soon joke.

I know, 99% of hilarious but cruel jokes aren’t hilarious because the cruelty is funny, they’re hilarious because someone saying it when they shouldn’t is funny.

[Fosco33]

Sports karma is a real thing imo. And karma in general. ARod didn’t do anything to the packers that they didn’t accept and we, as fans, owe each other nothing (and vice versa).

So cheer for injuries - it’s certainly your right. As it is to say that mentality is small minded.

And the entertainment value - it’s watching the best product on the field. ARod on the jets is more entertaining than not.

[texaspackerbacker]

I’ll take the 2 second round picks we got for a guy that played 3 snaps and learn to be happy

And fuck the nfl and their “value”, unless you’re a team owner (a real owner) or a media talking head, this shouldn’t matter one bit

+1

I guess you're almost as evil and small-minded as me hahahahaha

[run pMc]

The injury is not good if you're a football fan. Also, cheering when someone gets hurt is pretty meanspirited and small.
The news cycle will spin over to his recovery (and if he wants to come back, his rehab) and NY media will eat that up.

The Jets had a lot of prime time games on the schedule IIRC, wonder how the league and media channels feel about that now that people will be watching Zach Wilson trot out there.
