Wow, I hadn't heard the Finley comments because I didn't want to listen to the audio clip or whatever it was. But this has to be the dumbest thing I've read in a while.

"He’s got a trust issue. For what reason, I don’t know,” Finley said in an interview with TalkSport, one of a host of interviews he did that week. “He’s a guy that has to see you work on the field and throw the ball to you and hope you run the right route. He goes off football. He doesn’t go off personality when he first meets you. You’ve got to gain his trust through the game."

So he wants to see you perform football tasks in practice before he trusts you to perform football tasks in a game. Oh boy, yeah, that Rodgers guy sure has issues.

Nelson's response is great.

“When you actually read the comments and what they say, it makes absolutely no sense,” Nelson said. “A quarterback expects you to practice well and do what you’re supposed to do on the practice field in order to be successful in a game? That’s pretty well what’s expected."

I spoke with Finley, to see what he had to say:
Cheesey- so, I hear that Aaron Rodgers actually wanted you to prove that you knew what you were doing in order for him to trust you, is that right?
Finley- yeah! Have you ever heard anything so crazy? Just because HE works hard to be one of the best, then WE should have to?
Cheesey: but you got paid millions of dollars a year, doesn’t that mean you are supposed to work hard?
Finley- I got paid to work 3 hours a week on Sundays, like, I should have to put in more time then that? If so, I should have got “mo money mo money mo money!”
Cheesey- so you don’t think a player should have to earn a quarterback’s trust?
Finley- heck no! I am Jermichael friggin’ Finley! I don’t have to EARN anyone’s trust! I bet Greg Jennings sister would say I was the best tight end of all time!

And that’s the way it was......kinda!😂

I’d say it’s time for Finley to be checked for brain damage from concussions.
(Or maybe drug tested)
He has said some really stupid things. To be expected to learn routes and stuff in practice......like he shouldn’t have to do those things as a professional athelete???
Paid more money to play a game then 99% of people working their butts off for 50 years would make?
Wow....
