The lie is the big problem. If he would have had the balls to just say he's anti-vaxx and took the heat I don't think Packers nation would have been nearly as outraged. After his holdout he probably didn't want to piss more people off so he took the cowards way.

I'll always have an immense amount of respect for Rodgers on field abilities, but as a person his character is a huge red flag. What a narcissist.

Since he didn't get vaccinated and tried to get the NFL to accept his homeopathic treatment as an acceptable replacement, I'd certainly consider him to be an antivaxxer.

I just read an article in which Rodgers said that his “medical team” advised him not to get vaccinated..
I have never been a Rodgers fan from the start, but now I’m ready to be done with this clown.
It’s time to move on!!!

Only throwing that out there because Aaron doesn't consider himself as one. If you paid close attention to his words, though, it's hard not to come away thinking he has some personal anti-vax leanings -- kept talking about his "medical team" comprised of "medical individuals" and "medical professionals". In fact, the only time Aaron referenced "doctor" is when referring to the NFL's main doctor in connection with NFL's determination of COVID vaccination status.

Aaron has to protect himself from being called a liar. But it's interesting that his speech today on Pat McAfee's show that this is all about public perception, and has nothing to do with mitigating possible fines and or punishment imposable on him from the NFL. In other words, this is all damage control from a PR perspective; hopefully it works to sooth some NFL owner enough so that they trade a boatload of picks this off-season when the Packers move on from him.

As one tweet noted about promoting being a critical thinker, "what if you're really bad at critical thinking?"... I think that sums up my personal views on this fiasco.

I have much more respect for the thought 12 put into his decision after listening. I have tried to capture the main things he mentioned[list][*]It's hard to call him anti-vax when he is allergic to an ingredient in the mRNA vaccines. [*] He pointed out that the JNJ was pulled at that time[*]He he followed the non-vax protocol. He said he tested every day[*]Symptoms Tuesday night Tested Wednesday. [*] Feels Great Today[*] He obviously got it from a vaccinated person.[*]"If the vaccine is so great, why are so many vaccinated people getting it"[*]"If it is so safe, why to the manufacturers need legal immunity"[*]I have been doing what joe Rogan recommended - Ivermectin, HCQ, Vitamin D, Monochronal antibodies [*]The Israel study study (and later mentions "I have thirty others") shows I will have much strong immunity than I could get any vaccine.[*]When Trump was pushing the vaccines, every member of left said don't trust the vaccine, not after Biden win they are all for it...what about health why aren't we talking about vitamin D deficiency[*]I did not sign a piece of paper giving up my rights[*]Look at the studies from India how well Ivermectin works, its been used a billion time, but they don't like to because its cheap and Trump pushed it...Merck and Pfizer are coming out with a pill, expensive version of Ivermectin [/list]Re his treatment consulted with Harvard MD and other experts from around the country....a way to stimulate my immune systems (did not want to go into specifics)

^ While summing those items up, I implore people to actually use some critical thought. For example, Aaron Rodgers isn't the only athlete that had an allergy to one of the ingredients in the Pfizer / Moderna vaccines (other athletes have had it; a prominent player in the NHL - on the Maple Leafs, to be specific - faced the same issue and chose to get vaccinated after additional discussion with medical doctors).

And consulting with a Harvard MD does NOT mean that actual qualified medical doctors approved the approach Aaron has taken (Aaron's being purposefully vague - consultation does not mean "Harvard MD approved").

Again, this isn't a post to pit science vs. alternative medicine or something similar. It's intended to point out that Aaron was/is solely concerned with PR spin here and nothing else. Using PR spin as gospel... isn't going to be beneficial.

The PR spin likely isn't diminishing Murphy's and Gute's eagerness to move on from Aaron after the season, I'd suspect.

Edit: I see this is post #69 on the thread... nice.

Fan Shout

Mucky Tundra (5m) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (6m) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (8m) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (9m) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10m) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10m) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (19m) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (20m) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (30m) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (34m) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (43m) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (50m) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (52m) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (56m) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : refs just called an OPI,,,bullshit

dhazer (2h) : final score Chefs 24 Eagles 21 Refs 3

Mucky Tundra (4h) : feels like it hurts everyone but starters

Mucky Tundra (4h) : *cut down on snaps that

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, no not at all. Just seems counterproductive to cut down on snaps to help back ups get playing time and get potential money after cuts

Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jets tell Rodgers they're moving on? QB2 for Packers haha

Zero2Cool (6h) : Hey, I'm not saying it's the great idea. I'm saying, it's what I think will happen.

beast (6h) : You think they give a crap enough about bubble guys to make rules for them?

Mucky Tundra (7h) : So games that will be even *more* sloppy the first two or three weeks of the season?

Zero2Cool (10h) : I think you can figure most starters won't be playing either of the two games at all.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : is 2 preseason games enough for bubble guys to make a mark?

packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : true.forgot about that

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Unless they reduce preseason from three to two games.

packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : If Goodell allows an 18 game season, there will be a SB on Valentines Day

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Perfect football player. - Ron Wolf on Sharpe

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Sharpe didn't celebrate TD's ... crazy I didn't realize it back then

Martha Careful (7-Feb) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe

Mucky Tundra (7-Feb) : beast, you didn't miss much with that one. Raiders didn't update their play calls, audibles etc so the Bucs D steamrolled

buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : That was quick, one thing Jordan said was he doesn't agree with Josh Jacobs, that the Packers need to go get a proven #1 wr

buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : J-10VE on ESPN NOW!

beast (6-Feb) : I was young and didn't get enough sleep... fell asleep during the Buccaneers/Raiders Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Patriots / Panthers feeling is what I got. didn't watch that one either

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Easier to get a camera on her in the suite where she can't impact the game by being distraction???

TheKanataThrilla (5-Feb) : This is the least excited I have been in a long time for a Super Bowl. Unfortunately they both can't lose.

wpr (5-Feb) : So why don;'t they have her on the sidelines and doing the halftime fandango instead of sitting on her but in a $1,000,000 suite?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Think more eyes on Super Bowl with Swift fans pulling for her TE boyfriend?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : She dating the TE of the Chiefs.

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Taylor Swift has millions of fans, yeah?

Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : They did. They are going to show the post production Sunday with plethora of ads.
