Right...I don't know. You seem to know for sure it wasn't that. I don't know that.

How mentally tough do you think he is? Do you know that also? A guy so bothered by little comments like you look taller on TV is really that mentally tough to begin with? Let's see how he responds. He gets to play one of the worst teams in the NFL next Sunday.

I truly hope he gets another shot at Seattle...then we shall really see how tough he is.

Also how are you so sure he gets bothered by comments about his height on tv?

I'd say hes pretty mentally tough, he's won the MVP before, which is a season of pressure and playing at an exceptionally high standard, in fact the best. Also hes won the last game of the season with everything on the line which you wouldn't be able to do if he wasn't mentally tough, which he was also the best in the game for that game. If that doesn't scream mental toughness for you then what does?

Neither you nor I KNOW what it was, but I think it's very reasonable to assume it wasn't solely because his girlfriend said no sex on Sundays. If that's what puts him over the edge at this point in his career, suddenly RG3 is looking mentally tough.

Keep in mind ya all, it isn't Munn who decides. At least not on away games. Aaron flies with the team. I seriously doubt that the Packers, Inc loads up their plane with wives and girl friends. I seriously doubt that players are willing to spring for airfare for their significant others when they are going to be out of town for just a couple of days. Other than Starks Buffalo is not a high priority destination for most of the women so who won't find them badgering the players to take them along.

But if they do or if they don't- it just doesn't matter.

You guys are way too quick to credit him for being mentally tough. A person can have areas of weaknesses, kryptonites, if you will...just because he's good at football doesn't mean he's good at controlling his emotions when it comes to some girl telling the world about his sex habits. A very private guy doesn't want something that intimate revealed.

Here's another little excerpt on the Rodgers 60 minutes piece: (usatoday.com)

The piece heavily touched upon Rodgers' perceived sensitivity, with teammates Greg Jennings and Clay Matthews joking about it during an interview. One of the elements of the piece that the profile touched on and heavily teased during the promos for it during Sunday's games was Rodgers' height, showing an event where local contest winners got to meet the quarterback. One winner, upon meeting Rodgers, tells him that he "looks a little bit smaller than I thought you'd be", and the camera shows the 6'2" Rodgers saying "I don't appreciate that."

You have to look at this guy's character...he loses bets...doesn't pay them. IE: Lost bet with Boyz II Men about wearing a Niners jersey if Niners beat them in the playoffs... Niners win...he welches so TMZ hammers him for it.

Here is what she said...it has nothing to do with the above post: (foxsports.com)

“No, we don’t,” she said. “Not on game day. There’s not a rule, but it just doesn’t happen because there are other things to focus on.”

However, Munn said they occasionally have sex after Packers games.

“It depends on how late the game is … I try to have sex as much as I can.”

Maybe he hates pickles and some dolt put pickles on his sandwich on the in flight meal. Maybe he forgot his lucky rabbits foot back in GB. Maybe the batteries in his ipod died and he couldn't listen to his favorite song. It could be all of these unreported things as well.

With that's said, any of these hypotheticals are ridiculously unlikely. As others noted, with the season on the line, 4th down, pepper sprinting after him and he hits cobb...but it's plausible to assume comments about his height or bedroom habits are what dictate his play?!?

Any possibility that when this story got out it affected his relationship with his girlfriend? Any? Any possibility they had a fight over her making those comments publicly when he can't even handle someone saying he doesn't look as tall as he does on TV? The 60 minutes piece focused on his sensitivity issues because he is...sensitive. That is an issue with this guy. So, if he did react negatively to this getting out, and there is no logical basis for concluding he reacted anything but negative, then he likely spent some time addressing it with Olivia. If he was upset by it and spent time on it this past week then that took time away from his focus and preparation for football on Sunday...to say it didn't or couldn't have would be naive at best.

BTW, the sex piece appeared in the Gazette. I'm sure Rodgers loved his teammates and his local fans getting to read about him and Olivia whom he wishes nobody would even know about in the first place.

Fan Shout
beast (1h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (9h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (14h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (16h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
