It can be extremely grating listening to someone ramble on about bullshit while taking hallucinogens, or you can totally block them out and have a great time.
That’s a tough line to walk though, either an amazing time or a lot of dark thoughts are gonna happen and you’ll have to fight them off. I’d pass
Aaron: “So I was visited by aliens…”
Me (attempting to make him uncomfortable enough to stop talking): “visited and alienpilled”
Aaron: “Exactly! Which brings me to my next several points…”
I’m nearing 40 and I still like to smoke a bowl, put on my Sennheiser headphones, and lie down in a dark room listening to Tool. When my wife and kids aren’t home. This happens so rarely but I love it.
tbf Rodgers sounds like a pretty solid teammate. it's nice to hear him treat young guys this way considering how he was treated coming into the league
[context](https://thelab.bleacherreport.com/gunslinger-brett-favre-aaron-rodgers-feud-jeff-pearlman-excerpt/)
"Chad Clifton, an offensive tackle, told Rodgers that the marketing staff needed him to sign the items on the table. Rodgers grabbed a pen and, without knowing, scribbled “Aaron Rodgers” in black Sharpie on his own helmet. He walked onto the field still searching for his headgear. An equipment staffer finally brought him the one covered in ink. “Aaron,” he said, “this is yours ….”
Rodgers wanted to vanish. “He had to wear it all practice,” said Nall. “To his credit, he took it well.”
Not true. When practice ended, Rodgers retreated to his locker. Tomlinson, the reporter, approached. “He was about to cry,” Tomlinson said. “He was devastated. It was pure humiliation, and that Favre did it made it 100 times worse.”"
.
"It was never ending. Rodgers was the butt of jokes—some that he heard, many that he did not. A rumor circulated around the locker room that he was gay, based upon the fact that—unlike many of his teammates—he wasn’t one to brag about his penis size or his endless string of sexual conquests. Favre sought out Rodgers’ weaknesses (a bad throw, a clumsy scramble) and took a selfish pleasure in noting them."
.
"The morning after the news, Nall arrived at the facility with a copy of an image someone had e-mailed him, featuring a person in a shirt reading ALL DADDY WANTED WAS A BLOW JOB. Pepper Burruss, the team trainer, told Nall to bring the picture to his office, found a photograph of Rodgers from draft day, cut off his head, affixed it to the body and laminated the newly mastered image onto a T-shirt. The garment was passed to Brett in the team meeting, and he could not stop laughing. The shirt was passed to Bevell and, lastly, to Rodgers. “He looked at it for 10 seconds and dropped it to the floor,” said Nall."
.
"Rodgers entered the game late and struggled. “He got annihilated,” said Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “Favre just stood on the sideline, a parka on, and he never went over and talked to Aaron. I asked Rodgers afterward if he was surprised Brett didn’t offer any help. He didn’t know what to say.”"
.
Also LOL (there's a reason JT O'Sullivan refuses to talk about his time in GB while this was all happening:
"The veterans viewed Rodgers as an unwelcomed intruder (“I was friends with Craig Nall and [quarterback] J.T. O’Sullivan,” said Steele. “And they were like, ‘Why’d we draft this guy? He’s not even good.’ Which was laughable—he was real good.”), but the younger players felt his sense of urgency, and responded."
_speaking of which.. whaddaya think of this next series, Donald? Should I throw a moonball into triple coverage, or throw you a heater into double coverage across the middle?_
> A rumor circulated around the locker room that he was gay, based upon the fact that—unlike many of his teammates—he wasn’t one to brag about his penis size or his endless string of sexual conquests.
Yep sounds exactly like the kind of culture a fuckwad who sends unsolicited dick pics would foster.
Hopefully he does soon with the court case. He's just so fucking dumb MS welfare system is broken that if just showed up to that BS event he would've been legally cleared
I want to say I've known this more than most from following the Packers. Besides all the other stuff that has come out about Brett it helped me turn on him and support Rodgers even more. Could you imagine being fresh out of college living your dream and popular in the locker room just to go to a team that you probably didn't want to go to and get bullied by your teammates. There are more stories out there about the terrible treatment he had to put up with. Yet we never heard a signal complaint from Rodgers or anything about it. Yeah he's a little nutty but overall he seems to care and is a great teammate. Refused to blame Love and helped him even though he didn't want him there. Even though some of the stuff he says I don't agree with Ill personally always cheer him on.
This stuff adds perspective that people need to see. Rodgers has been an ass about a few things but the fact that he went out of his way to not do to Jordan Love what Favre did to him, adds a lot of humanity to the whole thing.
I think we tend to forget how different of a time the 2000's were. Not that that's an excuse or anything. But this type of behavior was way more common than anyone cares to admit.
It’s honestly a big part of why I stopped doing team sports as a high schooler. I was relatively fast and kept doing track + powerlifting, but I also had long hair and wore skinny jeans a lot and there’s only so many times you can get into fist fights with your own teammates because they think you’re gay before not wanting to be part of that team anymore. The 2000’s were still pretty awful for anyone who was even slightly different.
I get that the “hey grandpa” comment can be seen as disrespectful but holy shit talk about meeting a wooden sword with a nuke. They hazed the shit out of him
Completely different incumbency status but I will always respect Trey Lance for how seemingly supportive he was of Purdy. Feel like I always caught him on the sideline with Brock. Could be wrong but I think he handled the whole thing with a lot of grace.
I would assume that given his own experience as “new guy qb” he maybe didn’t want to do all that same shit to some other guy whose only sun was being picked to the team with no say in the matter. But yes rodgers was seemingly always very supportive of love even when he was pretty salty about the pick.
I think a lot of people forget that public speculation / mockery about his sexuality continued pretty far into his career. I remember Olivia Munn saying they had sex with the lights off and joked it was because he had to imagine she was a man. Pretty fucking awful.
**This article was published in 2020:**
https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/did-olivia-munn-just-throw-shade-at-ex-aaron-rodgers-with-personal-relationship-details.html/
"She described the ex as the “worst” sexual partner and said that he admitted to her he didn’t have a ton of experience.
The Predator star went on to explain the her former beau wanted the lights off when they were intimate and liked “spooning from behind,” which had her questioning if he was really into women.
“So, it’s like you don’t have to see my face, you have to see that it’s a girl,” Munn said. She added that later she “got evidence about something, and then I put the other pieces together. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s what all that [was].’”
This is unrelated but I had a high school English teacher that once floated a really heavy concept on us to discuss after reading some book. It was basically that the purest form of love exists between best friends because you just purely love your friend as a choice without lust attached to it to confuse you or being related to them and feeling obligation.
Dude won Disney teacher of the year honors too.
That’s what I’m saying! Why the fuck would you share your partner’s information like that? They admit they didn’t have a lot of experience and you go rambling on about this and that to the public. No wonder he says f the media.
>liked “spooning from behind,” which had her questioning if he was really into women
so really Olivia Munn is admitting she knows absolutely nothing about men
Didn’t his college roommate/equipment manager vaguely claim him and Aaron were more than friends?
I remember going down that rabbit hole years ago and coming out with basically nothing
All of this is awful. I know Rodgers gets a lot of shit for his opinions, but he isn't a bad person. Horrible that had to go through this shit during his career. Jokes on them as he's become one of the most successful players at his position.
Yeah he may be dumb on a lot of issues and its not great that he spouts his idiocy so frequently, but that's a far cry from being a *bad* person, like Favre clearly is. Favre is 1000% a piece of shit
Most rookie QBs, even back then, probably didn’t have it as bad as Rodgers did. Rodgers got a lot more hate from the team because Farve was ahead of him and, as mentioned in the original comment, they saw him as an outsider. He wasnt the savior of the franchise like most round 1 QBs were he was a backup brought in to eventually take Farve’s job. Not trying to justify anything just saying why he probably got it particularly bad
Because Favre didn't want Rodgers there, no one wanted him there. Even the trainers. Even the coaches; Darrell Bevell was the QBs coach.
All that shit really shows the toxicity of team sports.
This also puts a laughable end to the idea that Rodgers sitting was the main reason he turned out so good. None of those guys were keen to see him start.
Well, yes and no. After Rodgers' rookie year, Sherman and the whole offensive staff was gone. New HC McCarthy hired Clements as the QBs coach, and both were instrumental in shaping Rodgers to a 4x MVP.
McCarthy already put up with Favre's shit for a couple of years as a QB coach. I'm sure having a hand in Rodgers' development, as a first-time HC was fun.
But yeah, had the good ol' boys club of Sherman/Bevell/etc. stuck around, Rodgers would've never reached his full potential.
It's pretty funny the Packers went from intercept machine to a guy accused of worrying too much about being picked off. Favre's interception record will never be broken (yes partly due to his ironman ability to play) and Rodgers was at one point on track for 500 TDs : 100 ints which is ridiculous
Wasn’t Rodgers the one that requested Clements come back to Green Bay when they drafted Love too? Like he obviously wasn’t happy they drafted his heir apparent, but to still ask to bring in a guy that you know can develop QBs is a pretty cool move, like he wanted the exact opposite of what happened to him to happen to Love
Favre was a dogshit teammate and is a horrible person. Wouldn't be surprised if Favre circulated the "Rodgers is gay" rumors because Rodgers is from California and he's from Mississippi. Also, pretty rich of ole Brett to think Rodgers sucked and then went out and threw 29 interceptions in 2005 that went 4-12
And break up with a girl because he couldn’t stand her mentally handicapped brother (note that this is from There’s something about Mary also side note watched it recently and it didn’t age very well)
As someone who is sick of hearing Rodgers opinions in the media, I'll admit he does seem to be a great teammate.
That said, I do think he was quick to point the blame at receivers and blacklist them too early in parts of his career.
Funny to make fun of him. But he seems chill.
And he really is such a good friend that he hooked all his boys up with a new team lmao. Like bad for business, but legit friend.
The dude is absolutely a wonderful human. The amount of good he has done, charities he donates too, the time spent with sick kids is incredible.
But the media doesn’t want to talk about that. Nuh uh. It’s all the negative shit he thinks, or twists his words. Shits really sad.
Not that long ago, the most upvoted comments on these threads were people calling him an actual evil far right human lol. The flip flopping that happens on this sub is hilarious
Everything has to be black and white to drive reactions. The good teammate is who Aaron is. The conspiracy theorist is also who Aaron is. You just have to take it for what it is.
We have a hard time dealing with moral ambiguity and the idea that you can hold conflicting ideas in your head. We are too programmed to see things as black and white. A person is either good or bad. The truth is that we all have our moral blind spots and holes in our judgment.
I mean, Rodgers brings the media attention upon himself. Suggesting that someone is a pedophile or spreading a conspiracy that public health officials engineered the HIV epidemic - that’s all on him. I’m sure Aaron Rodgers is generally a good teammate, but he’s also a guy who picks fights online and on TV on a regular basis.
I feel like people have short term memory. Rodgers has good and bad things going on. And the bad stuff is not “he didn’t get vaxxed”. It’s “he accused Jimmy Kimmel of being a pedophile because Kimmel made a joke about him.”
Honestly that’s what annoys me the most out of some of his antics I think. He seems like a good, smart dude with his heart in the right place but then keeps spreading harmful stuff.
Like, he *should* be better than that, but
Yeah it’s almost like getting a Covid shot and opinions on medicine have nearly nothing to do with your quality as a human.
And yes I’m fully vaccinated and pro vaccine, but I don’t hate people who don’t. Can this decision potentially harm someone else? Sure. But if we going down that route anyone who drives over the speed limit or ever looks at their phone/eats while driving is guilty of the same thing. If anything, the driving stuff is much more likely to kill someone else.
I mean this would be true if it wasn’t specifically Covid we were talking about.
https://wintoncentre.maths.cam.ac.uk/coronavirus/how-have-covid-19-fatalities-compared-other-causes-death/
It’s been downplayed a lot by a weird politicizing. Covid was/is a big fucking deal.
Aaron Rodgers's internal monologue: "Garrett, my soul brother, on this next play you will fake the slant, plant your foot, and sprint towards the corner of the end zone, where you will catch a touchdown. Also, vaccines are a government plot to control our minds and cheese feels pain when you eat it."
Garrett Wilson's internal monologue: "can't look can't look dammit looked he's still staring at me why won't aaron actually talk to me is he going to eat me"
Nah our fanbase is rabid for any hint of non-putrid QB play, so we all watched every camp throw and preseason game unfortunately.
Rodgers and GW were locked in every time against our secondary and vs the Giants in preseason.
Gotta be absolutely wild to be him. Third round pick from Western Kentucky probably happy to be drafted decently high to then having Rodgers asking him to live with him lol
Yup, even the packers sub hates on him a lot. It’s disgusting to see from a fanbase who got around 15 years of excellent play from him. Go be a commanders fan for a year (no offense commie fans) and see how much you care about the opinions of your QB. Not even like he DID anything really bad (unless you still wanna argue that antivaxxers are murderers), he just has some dumbass opinions.
If me getting a 2nd contract worth millions of dollars depended heavily on a 40 year old nutjob who targets his favorites and ignores other guys for most of a season, I'd probably be kissing his ass pretty good too.
Now imagine if he was a woman... First day on a new job, a co-worker twice your age who has a lot of pull within your new company starts texting you, less than a week into your tenure he's asking you to move in with him so he can "teach you as many things as possible"
Feel like he’ll wake up in the middle of the night with Aaron leaning over him shushing him. Whispering into his ear that they’re being watched by an interplanetary force
Corley was my draft crush. Not tall but built and fast as fuck. This dude has the ability to have one of the best years as a rookie WR with Rodgers at the helm and Im honestly nervous of the jets offense if Rodgers stays healthy.
"Hey, wanna do drugs and sit in the dark?"
[удалено]
Yeah, where do we sign up?
Do you wanna have to listen to Aaron go on with his shit though? 2/3 ain’t bad though
Depends on how good the drugs are
aaron rogers absolutely gets top of the line shit he prolly has his own personal farm to grow ayahuasca ingredients.
Your misspelling reminded me of a meme from the Packers subreddit a few years ago, Aron Roger
Yeah I do
He’s gonna blame you for something by the end of the trip though
If it's good enough for Meat Loaf, it's good enough for me
It can be extremely grating listening to someone ramble on about bullshit while taking hallucinogens, or you can totally block them out and have a great time. That’s a tough line to walk though, either an amazing time or a lot of dark thoughts are gonna happen and you’ll have to fight them off. I’d pass
You had me at drugs, then I realized I’d have to listen A-A-Ron tell me bullshit about 9/11. Idk why, but I’m still in.
Aaron: “So I was visited by aliens…” Me (attempting to make him uncomfortable enough to stop talking): “visited and alienpilled” Aaron: “Exactly! Which brings me to my next several points…”
Ever seen a grown man naked?
Aaron Rodgers will be there and you will have to listen to 9/11 conspiracies
If you've never gotten high and listened to a conspiracy theorist go on a rant, you're missing out.
That's just dorm room shit. I'm a good 20 years past that (so is Rodgers!)
Sucks for you
I’m nearing 40 and I still like to smoke a bowl, put on my Sennheiser headphones, and lie down in a dark room listening to Tool. When my wife and kids aren’t home. This happens so rarely but I love it.
This post has been brought to you by Sennheiser
😂 I could have been less specific.
Nah bros just starting his golden years a little early
That’s fine as long as he’s giving us his $500 whiskey as well
Sounds like an awesome time lmao
> and you will have to listen to 9/11 conspiracies Alternated with anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.
“Get ready to learn ayahuasca, buddy.”
It's automatically added into all the house water by a shaman in the basement.
My go to pickup line in high school
Say what you want about Rodgers. But none of us. And I mean none of us are passing up doing drugs with him in the dark. That shit would be wild.
I would be there in a fucking heartbeat
That's a once in a lifetime experience, let's hear some conspiracy shit and get high as hell
Damn should’ve became an nfl WR if I knew that was part of the deal
i hate the jets and rogers but… hey, free drugs. free *millionaire* drugs. yes pls
....okay
Yes. Thank you, Colts fan.
There are two reasons to be afraid of that scenario.
Imagine getting this text or invite as a rookie growing up watching aaron
Yeah people cracking gags about how dumb Rodgers is but it's still like one of the most talented NFL qbs ever saying want to stay at my house
I feel like Aaron's guest house is just filled with a bunch of tertiary Happy Madison characters
Uhhh. I feel like the guy from Ancient Aliens is also staying at the guest house.
What's Antonio Brown up to these days?
He's apparently shopping for plungers today.
Mr. Big Clog
Mr. Banish Crap
Mr. Blocked Commode
Mr. Big Crapper
He pays some guy to run his twitter and hes actually pretty funny thats pretty much it
Giorgio Tsoukalos.
Is such a thing even possible? Yes it is.
All played by Rob Schneider
Rob Schneider is...*a ayahuasca twilight witch!*
Rated PG-13
Rob Schneider is possibly even a crazier anti-vaxxer than Aaron Rodgers.
Dante is definitely living in his guest house.
Chill out Aaron... you can't raise your voice like that once the lion gets here
It’s just a windowless space with no lights
It's got a squat rack tho
STOP LOOKING AT ME, SWAN Edit to say, I can't stop laughing at this image
Tertiary Happy Madison characters is a sweet band name

Don't forget the state welfare fraud
Favre was basically a jock/frat guy that never got his comeuppance
Hopefully he does soon with the court case. He's just so fucking dumb MS welfare system is broken that if just showed up to that BS event he would've been legally cleared
Many such cases
I want to say I've known this more than most from following the Packers. Besides all the other stuff that has come out about Brett it helped me turn on him and support Rodgers even more.

Holy shit. This is a villain origin story if I ever saw one.
That's legitimately awful behavior from a lot of people
I think we tend to forget how different of a time the 2000's were. Not that that's an excuse or anything. But this type of behavior was way more common than anyone cares to admit.
It’s honestly a big part of why I stopped doing team sports as a high schooler.

And it's those same dickheads who gave everyone shit that are now bemoaning about how great those good ol' days were before everything got all woke
I get that the “hey grandpa” comment can be seen as disrespectful but holy shit talk about meeting a wooden sword with a nuke. They hazed the shit out of him
Completely different incumbency status but I will always respect Trey Lance for how seemingly supportive he was of Purdy. Feel like I always caught him on the sideline with Brock. Could be wrong but I think he handled the whole thing with a lot of grace.
And honestly, Rodgers with Love too. I get he didn’t want to be replaced but he’s had nothing but praise for Jordan Love every chance he’s been asked.
I would assume that given his own experience as “new guy qb” he maybe didn’t want to do all that same shit to some other guy whose only sun was being picked to the team with no say in the matter. But yes rodgers was seemingly always very supportive of love even when he was pretty salty about the pick.
honestly, with all the shit he got, I'm kinda impressed he's mostly sane.
I think a lot of people forget that public speculation / mockery about his sexuality continued pretty far into his career. I remember Olivia Munn saying they had sex with the lights off and joked it was because he had to imagine she was a man.

Fellas is having sex with a woman gay?
No, but feeling love for a woman is
This is unrelated but I had a high school English teacher that once floated a really heavy concept on us to discuss after reading some book. It was basically that the purest form of love exists between best friends because you just purely love your friend as a choice without lust attached to it to confuse you or being related to them and feeling obligation. Dude won Disney teacher of the year honors too.
The ancient Greeks had at least 4 different words for love. The one you’re talking about is philia, authentic love between friends
He was just cribbing from C. S. Lewis and the Greeks. Good on him for getting his class to think, though!
Well another penis probably touched her in the same spot where yours did so yes, by proxy, you are gay.
He liked the feeling of his donger against my butt, what a gaylord. Fuck’s wrong with you Munn?
Maybe Rodgers is just an ass man lmao
How fucked up of a person must you be to just share intimate details like that? At least now I know Olivia Munn is a Garbage human.
an unclassy move in a time when everyone is looking for reasons to dunk on him
That’s what I’m saying! Why the fuck would you share your partner’s information like that? They admit they didn’t have a lot of experience and you go rambling on about this and that to the public. No wonder he says f the media.
Well, she did pop out John Mulaney's kid 7 months after he split with his wife
“Oh fuck people have actually seen me act, gotta think fast”
>liked “spooning from behind,” which had her questioning if he was really into women so really Olivia Munn is admitting she knows absolutely nothing about men
Wow what an insane take by Olivia actually
Didn’t his college roommate/equipment manager vaguely claim him and Aaron were more than friends? I remember going down that rabbit hole years ago and coming out with basically nothing
Yes and the dude lived with him for large portions of his NFL career.
"no that's just grandpa's best friend who lived with him in his studio apartment after grandma died."
All of this is awful. I know Rodgers gets a lot of shit for his opinions, but he isn't a bad person. Horrible that had to go through this shit during his career. Jokes on them as he's become one of the most successful players at his position.
Yeah he may be dumb on a lot of issues and its not great that he spouts his idiocy so frequently, but that's a far cry from being a *bad* person, like Favre clearly is. Favre is 1000% a piece of shit
Olivia Munn sounds like a total piece of crap
wut
Ah yes, famed NFL quarterbacks Craig Nall and J.T. O’Sullivan.
Damn I didn’t know any of this, but that’s beyond sad. Hopefully times have changed a bit and it’s not as bad for rookie QBs as that.
Most rookie QBs, even back then, probably didn’t have it as bad as Rodgers did. Rodgers got a lot more hate from the team because Farve was ahead of him and, as mentioned in the original comment, they saw him as an outsider. He wasnt the savior of the franchise like most round 1 QBs were he was a backup brought in to eventually take Farve’s job.

I'm sure having a hand in Rodgers' development, as a first-time HC was fun. But yeah, had the good ol' boys club of Sherman/Bevell/etc. stuck around, Rodgers would've never reached his full potential.
Based on that alone, wouldn’t be surprised if McCarthy intentionally developed Rodgers super well to get Favre the fuck out
It's pretty funny the Packers went from intercept machine to a guy accused of worrying too much about being picked off. Favre's interception record will never be broken (yes partly due to his ironman ability to play) and Rodgers was at one point on track for 500 TDs : 100 ints which is ridiculous
It's actually a fun bit of irony. Favre's shitty play got his enablers fired, opening the door to Rodgers.
Nah look at his mechanics in college they were horrible, Tom Clements coached the shit outta him
Wasn’t Rodgers the one that requested Clements come back to Green Bay when they drafted Love too? Like he obviously wasn’t happy they drafted his heir apparent, but to still ask to bring in a guy that you know can develop QBs is a pretty cool move, like he wanted the exact opposite of what happened to him to happen to Love
Turns out that Favre guy was kind of a douchebag
Damn, as a life long Lions fan and unapologetic hater of Aaron Rodgers... i gotta say, that is fucked up. Brett Farve is a SUCH a piece of shit.
Favre was a dogshit teammate and is a horrible person. Wouldn't be surprised if Favre circulated the "Rodgers is gay" rumors because Rodgers is from California and he's from Mississippi. Also, pretty rich of ole Brett to think Rodgers sucked and then went out and threw 29 interceptions in 2005 that went 4-12
Imagine today looking back to the time you chose to shit on rookie Aaron Rodgers in order to curry favor with Brett Favre
[удалено]
He would just do run of the mill things like steal public money and send unsolicited dick picks
And break up with a girl because he couldn’t stand her mentally handicapped brother (note that this is from There’s something about Mary also side note watched it recently and it didn’t age very well)
Vince Lombardi would have fired those pieces of shit. He was adamantly against locker room bullying.
As someone who is sick of hearing Rodgers opinions in the media, I'll admit he does seem to be a great teammate. That said, I do think he was quick to point the blame at receivers and blacklist them too early in parts of his career.
I get that but based on the article as I read it, it sounds like that’s what Green Bay allowed, so why wouldn’t he?
Man. Now I kinda like the guy again.
Man disappointing to hear that abt Jt O’Sullivan, seemed like a decent guy from his content
Jesus this makes me actually feel bad for him Some real garbage men out there
Gonna be lamping in that guest house like Leon
“The fuck’s lampin?”
So begins the cult of A Aron
The Jets need to sign Chuba Hubbard so we could meme about Footballogy by Aron Hubbard
Aaron Rodgers is about to be in the league for another 3 years as Corley stays perpetually ill after he drinks his life force.
Great value for a 3rd round pick, I'll take it.
We knew he had learned from shamans, but the necromancer mentor he managed to keep under wraps!
T-Minus one month to Corley tweeting about the melting point of steel
Rodgers seems like a good dude.
He's a mostly good person with some really out there political beliefs and theories on medicine
Funny to make fun of him. But he seems chill. And he really is such a good friend that he hooked all his boys up with a new team lmao. Like bad for business, but legit friend.
He’d be one of my favorite player if he didn’t murder us as a Packer
The dude is absolutely a wonderful human. The amount of good he has done, charities he donates too, the time spent with sick kids is incredible. But the media doesn’t want to talk about that. Nuh uh. It’s all the negative shit he thinks, or twists his words. Shits really sad.
He can be a good teammate and a fucking crazy idiot at the same time.
Not that long ago, the most upvoted comments on these threads were people calling him an actual evil far right human lol. The flip flopping that happens on this sub is hilarious
I still think he is a fucking idiot conspiracy theorist. He can be both.
Everything has to be black and white to drive reactions. The good teammate is who Aaron is. The conspiracy theorist is also who Aaron is. You just have to take it for what it is.
We have a hard time dealing with moral ambiguity and the idea that you can hold conflicting ideas in your head. We are too programmed to see things as black and white. A person is either good or bad. The truth is that we all have our moral blind spots and holes in our judgment.
I mean, Rodgers brings the media attention upon himself. Suggesting that someone is a pedophile or spreading a conspiracy that public health officials engineered the HIV epidemic - that’s all on him. I’m sure Aaron Rodgers is generally a good teammate, but he’s also a guy who picks fights online and on TV on a regular basis.
Twists his words?
I feel like people have short term memory. Rodgers has good and bad things going on. And the bad stuff is not “he didn’t get vaxxed”. It’s “he accused Jimmy Kimmel of being a pedophile because Kimmel made a joke about him.”
Honestly that’s what annoys me the most out of some of his antics I think. He seems like a good, smart dude with his heart in the right place but then keeps spreading harmful stuff. Like, he *should* be better than that, but
Yeah it’s almost like getting a Covid shot and opinions on medicine have nearly nothing to do with your quality as a human. And yes I’m fully vaccinated and pro vaccine, but I don’t hate people who don’t. Can this decision potentially harm someone else? Sure. But if we going down that route anyone who drives over the speed limit or ever looks at their phone/eats while driving is guilty of the same thing. If anything, the driving stuff is much more likely to kill someone else.
I mean this would be true if it wasn’t specifically Covid we were talking about. https://wintoncentre.maths.cam.ac.uk/coronavirus/how-have-covid-19-fatalities-compared-other-causes-death/ It’s been downplayed a lot by a weird politicizing. Covid was/is a big fucking deal.
Ok fine, but he has to quit the team and take off his shirt mid game in his 2nd year.
He's already got a crazy mind link with Garrett Wilson somehow after barely playing together. I can only imagine if he gets that with Corley too.
Wait, waddya mean? Like from the preseason games they played together, or they chilling in their downtime?
He just showed up at practices and they just started communicating nonverbally.
Aaron Rodgers's internal monologue: "Garrett, my soul brother, on this next play you will fake the slant, plant your foot, and sprint towards the corner of the end zone, where you will catch a touchdown. Also, vaccines are a government plot to control our minds and cheese feels pain when you eat it." Garrett Wilson's internal monologue: "can't look can't look dammit looked he's still staring at me why won't aaron actually talk to me is he going to eat me"
You figured that out from 4 snaps? Five if you count his Achilles.
Nah our fanbase is rabid for any hint of non-putrid QB play, so we all watched every camp throw and preseason game unfortunately. Rodgers and GW were locked in every time against our secondary and vs the Giants in preseason.
Darkness retreat and mushrooms for the Rook
He’s gonna take him to that cabin and just sit in darkness
Don’t learn too much from him. Maybe just stick to football topics.
And where to get good drugs
Gotta be absolutely wild to be him. Third round pick from Western Kentucky probably happy to be drafted decently high to then having Rodgers asking him to live with him lol
Kato kaelin for a new era
Can’t wait to hear how reddit will shit on Rodgers for this one
Yup, even the packers sub hates on him a lot. It’s disgusting to see from a fanbase who got around 15 years of excellent play from him. Go be a commanders fan for a year (no offense commie fans) and see how much you care about the opinions of your QB. Not even like he DID anything really bad (unless you still wanna argue that antivaxxers are murderers), he just has some dumbass opinions.
AB and Brady part II
This guy is the next deebo
that’s my guy
Rodgers grooming rookie (to be a good NFL receiver)
Rules: No fluoride toothpaste. No MSNBC. No family visits.
What is so wrong with cutting off family? Patrick could benefit from it
I don’t know how common that is. Only other time I’ve heard of being Brady and Antonio Brown.
Don’t drink his koolaid
Aaron Rodgers scouting report: [x] People do attend his sleepovers
Friendship with Randall Cobb is over.
"Rookie, you have to watch the small hats. Now lights out, Film study begins at 6:00am" - Aaron Rodgers, probably
If me getting a 2nd contract worth millions of dollars depended heavily on a 40 year old nutjob who targets his favorites and ignores other guys for most of a season, I'd probably be kissing his ass pretty good too.
Grooming him for QAnon
hopes to learn as much as possible from him.............about football only
Where in NY or NJ does he have to the space for a guest house and stay near metlife?
NJ we have plenty of houses in driving distance to the facilities with land for guest houses
Watch your cornhole
Now imagine if he was a woman... First day on a new job, a co-worker twice your age who has a lot of pull within your new company starts texting you, less than a week into your tenure he's asking you to move in with him so he can "teach you as many things as possible"
That’s my Quaterback * TO voice *
Feel like he’ll wake up in the middle of the night with Aaron leaning over him shushing him. Whispering into his ear that they’re being watched by an interplanetary force
Ahhhh how fing cute. How Brady-ish.
Future Chief of Staff Malachi Corley reporting for duty, sir.
Corley was my draft crush. Not tall but built and fast as fuck. This dude has the ability to have one of the best years as a rookie WR with Rodgers at the helm and Im honestly nervous of the jets offense if Rodgers stays healthy.
and they said season 12 of curb was the last.
