Me, me, me. Everybody hates a leader.

#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers made it clear: he’s playing this week. Rodgers said he expects to play next week too. To him, it comes down to one word: leadership. Can’t lead from being voluntarily on the sideline.

Aaron Rodgers on why he's playing this week: "I think it’s a lot about leadership. If I want to be listened to and followed and looked up to, how could I stand here and say that these games that don’t matter for playoffs, I’m going to cash it in? That’s just not the way I lead."

And Josh Tolentino reports Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to play Sunday.

New York Jets nil, Green Bay Packers nine.

(And now on to the pools news.)

Can we make a bridge out of his collar bone?

For how little he plays, amazes me how much he manages to get hurt. #78bust

Jason Spriggs joins Randall Cobb in the concussion protocol. Good thing Bryan Bulaga was back at practice. https://t.co/gF25OYtUFr pic.twitter.com/6UlcEqI53M

Campen, “Better start thinking about blocking someone Spriggs”

Spriggs, passes out. 

Probably from Mack clubbing him in the head.

More likely AR

One advantage to going to see your team that's playing shitty are cheap tickets.... $45 to get in the door at Met Life on Sunday. And there's even the possibility there will be tickets on the ground come kick off.

Jets favored by 1.

Time for a Jet Sweep Packers!

First (and only) road win in 2018.

Mark it down.

Similar prices to get into Lambeau in Week 17...

Yup. Rodgers 2018 goals :

1. Piss off Mom
2. Get McCarthy fired
3. Ruin Packers draft pick order for 2019

4. Make Packdog whimper

Jason "the Matador" Spriggs

I've read from all-22 analysts that he'll be a lot better after another season in the weight room and another year removed from the knee injury.

That said, I saw a play last sunday where he literally looked like he was impersonating a turnstile.  He extended his arm sideways toward Mack and Mack looked like he was on his way to a concert.

Derp. Not whimpering in the slightest.

You're not one of those overly sensitive to joking about Rodgers are you ?

How the mighty have fallen.  Preseason SB odds, Jets, 100 to 1,  Pack,  12 to 1.

MM would be eaten alive in the NY media. He used to get his panties in a wad over Jason Wilde's softballs he'd lob at MM. Just imagine what the Jets media would throw at him.

The PC's alone would be reason enough to follow MM's career with the J-e-t-s

Why Mike McCarthy should be at top of Jets' short list of candidates https://t.co/hc643wvSC5

Good on him. He gets paid what he does because he puts a$$es in seats. 

Of course AR wants to play and I'm glad he feels that way. In effect it's really just a preseason game and too much risk with little reward involved in playing the franchise QB.

Exactly. And really, I see no reward at all. It’s lose lose: We lose draft position or we lose the face of the franchise. What’s to gain? A couple hours of football porn? 

Rodgers’ attitude is a good one and what you would want out of him personally. That’s exactly why it should not be his decision, and the decision should be he sits for both of these games. 

Who will tell him?  Make him?

The coach, except the current auditioning one isn’t going to do that. That’s the problem.

Four #Packers players not practicing in pads Thursday: WR Randall Cobb, CB Will Redmond, OT Jason Spriggs, DL Kenny Clark.

Jimmy Graham, Lucas Patrick and JK Scott returned.

If it's really in the best interest of the ball club and your HC is a lame duck, doesn't the GM have to step in and sit him if that's really the line of reasoning?

They could put him on IR with the groin injury.

Rodgers should play.  Good for him wanting to play. 

So, all starting QB's on other teams should be inactive as soon as they are eliminated from the playoffs?

Football players are paid to play. 

He was a Full Participant at practice. Unless he injuries himself dancin' with Danica, he's playing.

And I agree that he should. Time to work on chemistry with the young WRs.

Whitewater Jesus as the sleeper this week!

Oh, and I'll be Up Nort' next week and may take in the DET game.

Totally disagree with Rodgers working on chemistry in a fully broken system. Nobody is learning anything productive. 

This offense can’t be melted down and reformed quickly enough. 

It melted down a long time ago. Right now it’s just a puddle and does need to be reformed. :-)

Heck, I get both arguments (Rodgers plays versus doesn't play) and admit to leaning on wanting the Packers to be the best team they can be next year (read: best opportunity for better players).
