LA is just about over the hump with Covid cases and there’s five weeks until the SB. Why is this even a question?
I hope it's true. I hope it dominates the conversation, because that conversation will be almost entirely, "what a jackass." And while I understand that he and his ilk feed on being called "jackasses," I dont care. On balance, the world is better off knowing who the selfish jackass pricks are, even if its gives certain folks priapism. Its only too bad that the vast majority of the 60s Packers are dead. They would not only shit all over him, they may be the only group that could turn the current Packer fans against him.No chance. I know he lives for the drama, but I can't imagine him torpedoing his career and legacy like that.
But I hope it's true, if only to further highlight that Aaron Rodgers is the NFL Kyrie Irving. I mean, I completely believe it's a legitimate source if only because this would be par for the course with what Rodgers seems to think passes for good publicity these days - I'm sure he'd love if that dominates the conversation going into the playoffs.
Maybe it's not a boycott as much as he expects to not be able to play in the game because he's unvaxxed?In theory, why not do it now? Only worth taking a stand if it’s the SB?
The NFL would have no room to budge as they can't create an almost-annual event where a star player makes demands to agree to actually play in the SB.I was watching Boomer when they were discussing this. His radio partner think this was made up and sent to Boomer to see if he would read it on the radio.
Nice Gladiator pull!I’m 100% rooting for GB now just to see this play out. Maybe the only thing that could unify the country is an NFL QB refusing to play in the SB. Rodgers could be our Joseph Welch moment.
If they are playing the Pats, and this happens, I’ll be the one with priapism!
ed: I realize this is a fantasy of course. But this is a pleasant fiction.
All the more reason for him to refuse to toe the line now. Some men would rather die on their feet than live on their knees.The funniest thing is that Rodgers hasn't made a SB in 12 years.
Boomer is full blown member of the hot take industrial complex. This is story is almost certainly utter and complete bullshit. Rodgers is a narcissistic asshole. But he's not this stupid.I was watching Boomer when they were discussing this. His radio partner think this was made up and sent to Boomer to see if he would read it on the radio.
depends how your stadium is orientated and which end zone you're trying to get to I would assmeTexans extend Rex Burkhead deal thru 2022
"He's been Mr. Consistent for us," coach David Culley said last month. "He's a guy that's going to get north and south. He knows how to play."

Should teams want a running back who goes south?

LINKGreen-Ellis is always fighting for extra yardage and is one of the best north-and-south running backs that the NFL has to offer today.
What's the reasoning for "boycotting" a company by buying it's product and then smashing it to bits with a sledgehammer?What’s the reasoning even for him to sit out the SB after playing all season and in the playoffs?
A truly brilliant strategy.Seems like there's a whole lot less covid cases this week now that they're not really testing.

Wasn’t this one of Trumps very last strategies while still in office? It was smart but dumb then and it’s smart and less dumb now.A truly brilliant strategy.
Crap. His Post too soonWasn’t this one of Trumps very last strategies while still in office? It was smart but dumb then and it’s smart and less dumb now.
It's almost as though context matters.Crap. His Post too soon
I meant to add that unlike then, with vaccinations and boosters in place now, a positive case does not mean the same thing it used to. It seems to me that if you exist primarily ina cohort where 95% are vaccinated and boosted, and those who are not are peak conditions athletes, then testing to find people who are positive but not sick might not mean the same thing it did in December 2020.
I wonder if any studies have been done to trace the level of contagiousness (I’m sure there’s a better medical term) for those who are vaccinated and boosted who are asymptomatic yet positive.
I'm going to venture that the people like me who are oozing snot out of there nose and blowing chunks out of their throats (yeah, I just got it and am fully vaxxed) are more contagious than those that aren't. How much so would be interesting to know (2x, 10x?)I wonder if any studies have been done to trace the level of contagiousness (I’m sure there’s a better medical term) for those who are vaccinated and boosted who are asymptomatic yet positive.
I know a handful of unvaccinated people. I would not classify them as, "peak conditioned athletes" by any stretch of the imagination.Crap. His Post too soon

LOL, the Giants (a terrible team) are going to leave at least 2, maybe up to 4 game day roster spots open tomorrow because they don't have the cap space to fill them.
#53 is the Adele thing.The 60 minutes had to be the Adele thing, right?
Or people passed out on the coach after a long day of football on CBS.The 60 minutes had to be the Adele thing, right?

Oh you are right.I thought #53 was the Harry and Meghan thing?
That’s what I was thinking. I mean, aside from the older folks, who really watches 60 Minutes intentionally?Or people passed out on the coach after a long day of football on CBS.
