@Chongo posted:Bert is a slapdick attention whore. People lap up his aww shucks corn-pone bullshit like it's ice cream. Trust nothing that comes out of his mouth that pertains to 1265.
Also, I don't think he and 12 are quite the 'ol pals Bert likes to think. I think they are friendly, but I don't think they are palling around.
Bert wants to create the scenario that would serve him best. Nothing more. Dragging the organization and helping AR come full circle could only help #4's legacy. Rodgers is probably at least 10 times smarter than Rube, so even if he felt a need for vindictiveness, he understands what a hypocrite that would make him in the public domain. Personally, I think Rodgers will come to camp and quite enjoy showing the rook just how good he still is, and possibly come to enjoy the unofficial process of mentoring. The players and organization can make what they choose out of this. They can allow the salacious media to steer the story, or come into camp ready to get after a ring. It's all within their control.
