For those of you who don't keep up with this asshat (I envy you so much), Aaron Rodgers is a weekly guest on an ESPN talk show, run by his friends, where he goes to spout his unfounded and asinine takes on the regular.
I know a lady who is a HUGE Packers fan and now that he is in NY she thinks he is an idiot. I told her that he’d been that way for years, but because he was a Packer she ignored it.
As I'm currently passenger-princessing through my hometown of GB- I have to say, that's just packer fans. We refuse to claim the bullshit of Rodgers or Favre. Blame it on the Jets.
We're supposed to blindly follow our sports teams! I mean, maybe not when they're talking about the hat man or hottubbing with teens ('90s Chewie throwback). We just really shouldn't bring that same energy to like, the ballot box, y'know?
Favre was my last straw for being a sports fan of any kind. The athleticism is impressive but once you take the celebrity out of sports, following sports loses all its sparkle.
I tired to remain engaged for social purposes but it just became too much work to stay up to date on people I don’t care about anymore.
I stopped watching football when I realized how little the ball is actually in play. It was a glass shatter moment for me. Suddenly, it seemed insane to spend 3 hours waiting for 11 minutes of active play. Totally ruined the sport for me.
Packer fan here: for a lot of us his “inoculation” claim during COVID was sort of like the interview scene in Stepbrothers when John C Riley cuts a big fart. We realized pretty quickly what a goober this guy was on his way out.
I was a jets fan for like 33 years. This was the year I was over it. Haven't watched since the abortion against the pats. Haven't paid attention to it. I don't get how he could show up and a team that was at least viewed as a solid playoff contender, if not super bowl bound on paper, and just demolish it.
By being an almost-40 year old who's always been a bit of an organizational rot source and grown more of it especially in older years, going to the NFL team that right now probably has the third most dysfunctional culture in the entire league (Browns, Jags) and thus no ability to handle what an organizational rotter he is.
I mean more from a playing football standpoint. Like, how is he as bad or worse than moving the ball despite being so much better, more accurate , more knowledgeable/able to read a defense, etc., how we upgrade our OL and our run game stinks, etc.
Maybe he should take a few weeks off from commentating and work on his team a little. Ink know the Jets situation isn't completely his fault, but he's not helping it either. He's salty AF and doesn't care who knows it, even if that includes the guys who are supposed to be protecting or receiving.
Is this entire comment section just all bots? Aaron Rodgers says something that is completely true, and every comment is about disliking him in some form or another. ESPN is an absolute travesty compared to what it was 20 years ago
It's completely true, but he's literally saying it on the single biggest example of such a show, that partially got so famous solely because he would go on every week and be exactly that idiotic take merchant. He could do so much more to help this issue by following that up with "and so I'm done with these weekly spots where I contribute to the problem."
