I love it in all of its craziness, and no board is for pussies. Put an opinion out there, prepare to be challenged on it. Hopefully respectfully.
Apparently Rodgers did commercials for Prevea Healthcare in the Fox Valley. To the surprise of no one, they are dropping him from being a spokesperson for them.

He'll probably make that up by being named a guest host for Joe Rogan's podcast.
@Henry posted:You mean him making a declarative statement instead of being a fucking weaselly victim?
I'd give him the same respect I give you. You're wrong but at least you put up an argument that exists within reasonable context. You also take all the shit without going full Rodgers victim mode.
Reality is this, in any other situation I would agree with you 100%.
That’s fair. But I understand why he tried to mislead. He didn’t want the Kirk Cousins treatment.
I respect your opinion as well. Did we just become best friends?

And it's probably more effective against COVID than the other horsey sauce .

Joe will demonstrate how to properly shoot the horse paste up the ass. 90% of the time it works every time.

I'm just going to nominate this for the Dr. Bob is an Asshole award.
Dammit, I saw an article about this earlier but I can't find it now. Apparently since Rodgers has been C19 positive he will now be exempt from the unvaxed rules for 3 months, basically the rest of the season and playoffs.
Literally the only good thing to come out of all this.
Read that too. It ends right before the Super Bowl.
But nobody could be that fucking stupid, right?
Even though he’ll be backing up Love?
Called it first.

48 hours ago I would have agreed with you.
Holy shit, look at the 3 most commented topics on PFT.
Ruggs should send Rodgers some flowers.

I have a couple of really good shits each day. Which of course begs the question: Are they really that good if they're that frequent? Maybe my Internist will have the answer.

Woke Mob and Cancel Culture Club
While I agree with Rodgers that there is a cancel culture gone wild out there, I have no issue with Prevea dropping him. His public statements obviously show he has opposing views to Prevea’s management and it makes sense to cut ties.
One thing that might backfire on Prevea though, will people with the same philosophies as Rodgers now decide to drop Prevea as their healthcare provider? That’s the risk in making a statement like Prevea is doing by dropping him as a spokesman. In fairness to them, he sort of forced this with his public statements conflicting with their own views.
I highly doubt that it will make any significant difference in their membership. Two biggest motivators for most people are ; 1) Convenience 2) Cost. I don't see customers taking the time / energy / inconvenience to research / enroll in another program because of this. Reminds me of an old analogy; "the biggest factor in how many people will attend your funeral is the weather" .
Bigger potential downside for the company had they retained him.
If State Farm drops AR, is it capitalism or cancel culture?
My biggest gripe with Rodgers is that he's trying to be the victim here. He could have said he was allergic to MRNA and that he didn't feel comfortable with the JJ, I'd have still thought he was an idiot, but who cares what I think. Being misleading was cowardly, I'd hope a leader could own up rather than blame.
Ultimately his teammates and ownership knew all along (and didn't say anything, which probably speaks to a good lockeroom culture) and now he will miss at least one game because he did his own research.
If Love sucks, I'd like Mayo to know I have done my own research on QBing via years of fantasy football, so I should be ready to go
Has anyone here one bought State Farm because of AR?
@BrainDed posted:That’s fair. But I understand why he tried to mislead. He didn’t want the Kirk Cousins treatment.
He didn't just mislead, he lied. He was not immunized. He may think he was, but he wasn't.
I get he didn't want to deal with the Cousins treatment, but he had to know the blowback of misleading/lying is worse than just being forthright from the beginning. He made his bed.
That is how you want to die, or after you are dead.
Both have an appeal, just checking before confirming my reservation
Human Fall Flat funeral
Being a capitalist, I'll go with whatever gets the biggest sales, ah mourners.
How big will the cannon be? I hear it's going to be a "blast!"
@Henry posted:I'm not angry over WTF Rodgers wants to stuff into his piehole. I'm fucking mad about disingenuous psuedo-intellectual bullshit that perpetuates the literal mob delusion and insanity while being a hindrance to the team I root for.
So in short, Rodgers can fuck off and not for whatever goop he wants to cram up his asshole. I abhor the intellectually dishonest.
This.
Sometimes I wonder who came first, Super Dave Osborne or Mr. Bill. Then I think maybe they're the same person.

Weather permitting.
The Packers probably faced a choice with press conferences:
— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) November 7, 2021
(1) Piss off the NFL MVP and most important player by making him wear a mask;
(2) Hope the NFL doesn't enforce it because other unvaxxed players are going maskless in pressers.
They chose the latter.
Strikes me as likely true. AR complained about the science of wearing masks during pressers but I think he was motivated by a different reason: hiding his true vaccination status.
From ESPN:
Multiple coaches and front-office executives have complained that their teams apparently were held to different COVID-19 protocol standards over the summer than the Green Bay Packers.
While the NFL instructed teams that unvaccinated players were required to wear masks along the sideline during preseason games, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not.
One team executive said he received a memo from the NFL about the COVID-19 protocols that read, in part: "Any such individual with bench area access who is not fully vaccinated except for active players shall be required to wear masks at all times. Unvaccinated inactive players must also wear masks."
One executive told ESPN: "That's B.S. ... What's going on in Green Bay, that's not what teams were told by the NFL. Our players wore masks all the time. We made our guys that weren't playing wear masks.
The NFL is investigating how the Packers handled COVID-19 protocols at their facility and around games. The league will be looking at video footage from inside the team's training facility to see that masks were being worn and protocols were being adhered to, according to an NFL spokesman.
The league also is looking into a Halloween party that multiple Packers players attended, including Rodgers, when they were seen on social media not wearing masks. The NFL has rules set up that only a certain number of players can be together outside of the team's training facility; the league believes a violation might have been committed.
So there it is. Will the Packers just be fined or will they lose a draft pick or picks>? The NFL will make an example of them. Protect the sheild and all that. Both Rodgers and the Packers screrwed the pooch on this one.

You really need to listen to Joe Rogan. He's got this issue figured out.

The NFL has to bring the hammer down on them. The reporting earlier this week suggested that the Packers submitted a request on behalf of an "anonymous" player about the homeopathic treatments being sufficient. I don't doubt that the NFL office probably knew about Rodgers' status through the rumor mill, but if they were never "officially" notified that Rodgers was unvaccinated then they were deferring the enforcement of the protocols to the teams.
Fining the Packers doesn't really hurt anyone since you are just taking away money from the VFW that the money goes to if the Packers ever fold. It's not like it's coming out of the pocket of Jerry Jones or Daniel Snyder (not that they can't afford it). It will probably be some draft picks.
The NFL, at some level, probably prefers this to the other things that the sports media would be looking at. I'm not necessarily talking about Henry Ruggs. There is no room for debate there as everyone can agree that he made a horrific decision and needs to sit in prison to face the consequences of his actions.
The fact that a handful of Jon Gruden's emails were selectively leaked from a trove of 650,000 emails (and which Goodell has already announced will never be released) is still a gigantic PR problem for them. There are probably dozens of people that would be "Grudened" if those emails went public (Dan Snyder being almost guaranteed to be forced out). Who leaked them? Why?
Every minute used talking about Rodgers (whatever you feel about it) is one less that the NFL has to worry about defending Dan Snyder and others while failing to explain why they went after Gruden. Gruden's private emails were deplorable, but I doubt he's some lone wolf with this stuff.
This is the why you don't let your "star" player make decisions on personell, get their own locker room, have special rules ect. Their already inflated egos get inflated even more. You end up with talented divas that say stupid shit, get caught drunk, involved in shootings, car accidents and end up flaming out with years of productivity tossed into the circular file.
This is why star players shouldn't have special rules... Yet, almost the entire off season was consumed with how mistreated AR was. Best player on the planet. Reigning MVP. Seat at the table. Clowns in the FO. GB doesn't deserve him. The list goes on and on and on.
And here we are.
