It's obvious there's going to be someone every week that's going to have lower numbers than they want. There's one ball to go around and the Packers have too many weapons at wide receiver to make them all happy.

Judging from Aaron Rodgers comments at his locker this past Wednesday, he appears he wants the media to chain the hounds so to speak.

I just hope that you all as media personalities don't run to whoever is the low man on the catch totem pole every week because that's going to get a little bit ridiculous. It is Week 1, it's a long season and I'm going to throw it to the open guy. So I just hope you guys don't do that. You probably will, but that's a single plea from me.

That's a nice gesture, but, Aaron, it won't happen. The media wants, no, it NEEDS comments from players being unhappy so they can write a story and get those those precious clicks from us mere mortal readers.

On a personal note. It's pleasant to see a QB taking questions with the rest of the team at his locker rather than segregating himself via conference room an podium.

Agreed. That's along the lines of a celeb telling the paparazzi, "This is a personal matter and I ask that you respect my privacy"... Stirring up controversy and creating conflict out of thin air is part of a reporter's job description. No one's going to click a link that says, "Nothing Interesting Happening in Green Bay Today, Either..."

I agree with your personal note, too. Seems like Rodgers was paying attention to how the rest of the team felt about Bert's rock-star status.

Actually, 🇦🇷 needs to say it again and again until the media hounds look like assholes. What they did to JJ was uncalled for.

Only comment I have here.. if I walked up to Aaron Rodgers on the street.. I wouldn't treat him like a QB.

He simply spoke the reality that the media and those looking for a "story" will try an manufacture one.. and it will make for a long year for this talented team of whom draws the media attention this week.

I don’t think he should lie and say, “I’m totally happy with everything.” We would all know that is bullshit. Instead he gave a nice, even answer and moved on. +1 James Jones in my book.

edit: lol, does the forum automatically turn "+ and 1" into "slap nuts”?

edit 2: +1, hah yep.

The media really is getting out of hand in trying to create stories out of nothing. Remember autograph-gate from last year?

I heard Florio recently try to make a big deal about Brady's comment as if his comments were way out of line. It is too bad that Brent is not in the spotlight to distract the media from these non issues.
