That might be true.
That said, what is so awful that he can't just do his job and be happy? Other then 2010, he has failed several times in the playoffs. Including last season, when he had everything he said he wanted as far as a home NFC title game.
I'm sure every employee of every company would like to control their bosses. I think Rodgers is too big for his britches. The Packers can't allow him or any other employee control what they do.
I wonder what his teammates think? If they see him getting his way, do you not think they will try the power play too?
Honestly, I wish this would just end either way.

I've said this before and I'm guessing you didn't read it (I post a lot, it happens, lol) so I'll say it again. I do believe Rodgers is pissed about something. I do not believe it is money. I know it's not the selecting of Jordan Love unless Aaron has lied publicly over and over again and to his friends who have said as much publicly. Remember when he said he poured himself a glass a Scotch after the pick? Do you also remember the following context? Probably not because the media likes to undermine our intelligence by omitting such details. He poured Scotch because he knew he was going to be flooded with phone calls, texts and the circus that would ensue. Yeah, not so sexy as "Packers trading up to get Rodgers replacement causes him to drink", huh?
Make no mistake, my fury is at the media, not you Alan.
Aaron said the drafting of a QB in the first round made it a reality that he doesn't control where he ends his career. That was something he had to accept. He said this countless times on Pat McAfee's show and said he's come to peach with it. I believe that.
I believe Aaron and the Packers in the middle of a contract negotiation that both sides want about 60% the same thing and the remaining 40% is what's holding it apart. I believe Aaron wants to extend his timeline with the Packers and I think the Packers want to hold the cards on when they can move on from him if the eventual drop-off happens before anyone expects.
The talk about Jake Kumerow ... REALLY pisses me off. Rodgers said he liked Kumerow and what not and he was cut the next day. This wasn't done in spite of Rodgers. This was most certainly decided before Rodgers comments were even made. Not many are connecting those dots -- just reading headlines.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH -- the media .... so angry is me!!!
