Aaron Rodgers traded to the NY Jets

I'm all for alternative ways to stay healthy and improve your quality of life.  I've shifted to a plant based diet.  I've successfully got off my heartburn meds by eating licorice root and drinking aloe vera juice.  I do yoga and meditation most days.  But what Rodgers is doing is nuts.  Eating ghee for 3 days until you vomit and sh*t your brains out?  Ghee is butter!!!!  In what world is eating nothing but butter for 3 days considered healthy? 

Maybe I'm missing something with this cleanse but it sounds a lot like the time I got a stomach virus in Hawaii and spend two days going from my bed to the bathroom.

Be careful! You'll put an eye out!

Some people would say AR holds some rather unconventional beliefs while others would just call him a kook (I lean toward the latter).

Being raised in Wisconsin. Udderly ridiculous mammary glands seem to fascinate some people.

Don’t let Packerhawk read this. He long ago surmised that anyone who didn’t get that show was dumb. Or was that PH? May have been JJSD.

Was a fan of the show but I get why it wasn't for everyone. My wife thought I was dumb for watching it.

FTFY!!!     

If you haven’t watched Wild Wild Country on Netflix I highly recommend it. Great insight into Aaron Rodgers.

That's a cow that's been pumped full of hormones.  Poor thing.

Not sure about the hormones but she sure has a severe case of edema. She needs several doses of  Naquasone.

I eventually watched it. Funny show but hardly Shakespeare. I even like the season that showed up exclusively on Netflix that all the fanboys bashed so hard. Fanboys don't like change. Look how much hate the excellent new Boba Fett show has been getting from some Star Wars fans.

Comedy is in the eye of the beholder...no judgement here. I gave it a whirl because I think Jason Bateman is pretty damn funny. First season there were some good bits, but it lost me midway through 2nd. But to each his own.

Wasn't a massive fan of Seinfeld, but really like Curb. Love Ricky Gervais, my wife can't stand him. We all have our tastes.

Curb is better than Seinfeld, but I liked both shows.

My wife will walk out of the room if she sees anything with Will Farrell in it. No exceptions. I guess maybe she did get through Elf but that was for the kids.

Elf and Old School. Otherwise, I avoid him. Anchorman can blow me.

I can handle Farrell in a supporting role, but as primary? No.

There is a show on Appletv+ begging for my attention. It looks decent, but I am worried it will descend into a Will Ferrell giggle fest.

Shrink Next Door with Paul Rudd...quality mini-series. Zero yuks from Will Ferrell...really shows he is a very good actor. Good drama chops. Rudd also...very will written and acted IMO.

Which part provides the insight?

Pretty amazing how much you guys hate Rodgers.

Given my drive today I honestly think the Indy 500 might be easier.  Downpour on 894, “freezing rain” near West Bend that was gnarly - like it froze on contact and no wiper wash is solving for that shit.

I would have gladly traded off driving with a foot of snow on the ground compared to this nonsense.

I adore our cabin “up nort” but otherwise fuck this place.  And you want to talk about climate change today is the feature story.  Should have been all snow today not fucking freezing rain ‘zilla but hey who’s taking notice.

I hear you Tschmack.  The worst driving experience I ever had was when I was living in WI.  I was coming back from vacation in Denver, flew into MKE and had to drive to Antigo.  The drive between these two locations is through mostly rural areas after leaving MKE with very few street lights.  It was snowing so hard after I left MKE that I couldn't see anything but flakes coming at me.  It had already started snowing north of MKE, so by the time I was halfway to Antigo, the roads were completely covered.  I couldn't tell where the road ended and where it began.  I didn't want to get stuck out there because who knew how long it would be before I could get help, and the snow wasn't going to quit, so I decided to keep going.  I don't remember how I made it back to Antigo, but I do remember driving with the driver side door open and the window down so I could see better.  That was pretty scary. 

And yeah, ice storms are the worst.

I don't miss that at all either.

Holy crap that's a tough drive and that is insane.

I grew up right on the shore of Lake Michigan in eastern Wisconsin and I can remember a few times we got ice off the lake and I didn't know it and spun my car 6-8 times and never hit the ditch.  I was also hammered at the time so I sobered up quickly until I stopped at the next bar. 

More than once I have done the same thing driving along the lake in farm country and I had no idea to this day if I was on an actual road.

As for Rodgers and that freaking cleanse?  No freaking thank you.  I am failing to see how eating butter for days, doing enemas, and puking is good for you.   He is an IDOT for doing that.

Looking at the previews of this movie, I thought it was going to be one of the dumbest movies ever.  My sister wanted to go and begged me to go with her, so I reluctantly went along.  We laughed so hard, our stomaches and cheeks were sore afterword.  I, like you, experienced several moments of laughing until I couldn't breathe.  One of the funniest movies I've ever seen, if not the funniest.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention it was at night.  Great meme!

I decided at one point to turn off the lights to see better, but that didn't work.

I got lucky like that spinning out in the res between Green Bay and Antigo.  Was driving along and all of a sudden it felt like the car was floating, and then, it was amusement park time.  I don't remember how many times I spun, but thankfully there had been so much snow that the ditches were piled high enough and I just ended up spinning into the snow bank.  But it was a hell of a collision, sounded like a plane taking off and all I could see was snow all around me.  By some small miracle, I was able to pull out of the snow and drive on.  I was scared as shit though.  You don't want to get stuck in that res if you're a white guy.

Maybe I'm missing something with this cleanse but it sounds a lot like the time I got a stomach virus in Hawaii and spend two days going from my bed to the bathroom.

I remember a speaker at a convention telling a joke that isn't quoted here exactly, but it went something like this:

So I asked my doctor, "if I quit drinking, stop eating sweets, eliminate red meats, exercise daily, and get regular sleep does that mean I'll live forever?"  And the doctor responded, "no, but it'll feel like you did."

Seriously though, good for you!  Keep it up.

Saturday will be 5 weeks since the end of the season and Rodgers hasn't said he is working on a sign and trade.   To me that indicates they are working out a restructure. 

I think you're right BD.  That and they cleared a bunch of space restructuring KC.

And they're playing nice not talking to anyone who can spill the beans.
