If they did they were idiots

But it doesn't change the fact that Aaron is attempting to PR spin something that makes him look very bad. For someone who seemed to go on a whirl-wind diatribe on his view of personal liberty and freedom, it is at least curious that he never really spoke to, or tried to defend himself against, the legal ramifications from the NFL that are likely forthcoming for him and possibly the Packers.
Also, I think the complete silence we've heard from Murphy and Gute is deafening. They've basically left the coach to manage the fallout from this all while staying silent and behind the scenes. I'm pretty astonished that someone like Mark Murphy who interjected himself at the top of the hierarchy of team operations a couple of years ago, has not wanted to take the heat off the coach and let Matt LaFleur focus on game prep.
All of which goes to my thinking that this circus may indeed further entrench Murphy and Gute to move on from Aaron Rodgers and turn to Jordan Love.
And, for the record, Aaron's explanation is mostly making him look even more foolish / worse. Not sure he's able to PR spin his way out of his public standing having fallen so steeply.
