"Boomer Esiason received a text from a trusted source which indicates that Aaron Rodgers will threaten to boycott the Super Bowl, should the Packers make it that far."

"He's told Jordan Love to be ready"

I call Bulldung. Rodgers cares too damn much about his teammates for that.

I could see Rodgers make a
bold threat, but only if he might actually consider backing it up. I don't see Rodgers even considering backing this threat up. So I don't buy this one bit.

They put in all the work to win Super Bowls, you don't skip out of the last minute.

If Rodgers is skipping something, it'll be the MVP voting awards or Pro Bowl or anything else the NFL wants from him, like the Disney trip if he wins Super Bowl MVP.

We can always believe anonymous sources right?

This makes no sense on multiple levels. First, he is working as part of a team to even get to the super bowl and boycottting the game would be a slap in the face to all his teammates. Second, my guess is that he just focusing on just winning the next playoff game and a statement like this is just a distraction to that goal.

It may be possible that he could try to boycott the press days and other events leading up to the super bowl but not the game itself. Even that would probably be too much of a distraction.

I don't doubt Boomer got the text from his "source". I seriously doubt the source knows anything. It's probably someone who is laughing and saying, "Wouldn't it be funny if Rodgers did ..."

Even if it were true, Aaron wouldn't tell this so called source this is what his plan is. It's self defeating. The boycott would only have effect if it was a last minute deal. Not something he would say a month before.

If GB didn't make it to the SB, Aaron would look like an absolute fool. That would bring forth all the media hyenas who would claim his teammates rolled over on him. That they hate him and how he lied to them all year long. Aaron is too smart to do something this stoopid. Cancel Culture only wishes he did.

Esiason’s co-host, Gregg Giannotti, added a second clip that shows the two hosts reaching a conclusion that it was some sort of a prank.

The original clip from @BackAftaThis should have included that part, frankly. However, when choosing to engage in real-time vetting of potentially phony tips during a live radio show, there’s a chance that some in the audience won’t hear the part where, after expressing confidence in the accuracy of the information, the hosts come to the conclusion that it was all a hoax. That’s why it always make sense to run tidbits like this through the crap filter before the show, not during it.

Oh so they (or their editor) purposely put incomplete click bait out there. Not surprising, it just hasn't been done to this degree in sports radio for a while (that I know of).

Could you imagine IF Rodgers did boycott, Love starts and tears it up (300+ yards with 3-5 TDs) while winning the game?

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋

Zero2Cool (16h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (17h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (20h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (20h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (21h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (21h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (21h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (22h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (22h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (22h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
