Last week Jennings, a former Packers receiver as a result of becoming a Viking, gave some spicy remarks to this newspaper indicating that he thought Rodgers, the Packers QB, was egotistical and not being called on his shortcomings, all without using Rodgers’ name. Jennings has since been told to shut his yap by coach Leslie Frazier.
On ESPN’s “Sports Reporters,” Israel Gutierrez, in an understated style that usually requires a few minutes of listening before you realize there’s blood, went off on Jennings. Just a taste of Gutierrez:
“By itself it’s not the most damning assessment of a QB ever. It’s the hypocrisy and childishness that make Jennings look like a diva wideout at his worst. Rodgers isn’t perfect. We already know he’s not great at picking honest baseball-playing friends. [The preceding was a shot at suspended, steroid-infused Brewer Ryan Braun.] But he’s an MVP and a champion. Christian Ponder? Probably not.”
