The biggest BS Aaron Rodgers hit piece, and ? for the JN doomsday machine

The biggest bs MSN hit piece, of course running with the CNN Sandy Hook story and other false hoods AB Rodgers

it almost sounds like the JN doomsday machine… My question is, do you agree with sh*t like this or defend the Jets and Rodgers in the situation… sort of like we can make fun of our own but if somebody from the outside, especially New England says something, does that bring back our Jets pride or whatever is left of it… 

 

The Patriots didn’t sign Calvin Ridley or trade for Keenan Allen. They didn’t acquire a new tackle to stabilize a shaky offensive line. Despite having more money than anyone going into free agency, they just re-signed their own guys from last year’s four-win team and haven’t gotten demonstrably better

 

But at least it’s not as bad as having to root for Aaron Rodgers.

When someone says things could be worse, they’re always talking about the Jets. Rooting for the Jets is always worse. Especially right now.

It was just two months ago that Rodgers said:

“If you want to be a winning organization, and to put yourself in position to win championships and be competitive, everything that you do matters, and the (poo) that has nothing to do with winning needs to get out of the building. So, that’ll be the focus moving forward.”

Since saying that, Rodgers, who has always been more self-obsessed than self-aware, has done lots of things that aren’t likely to help the Jets be a winning organization. He’s been open to becoming the vice presidential candidate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a report surfaced that he’s been sharing conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook mass shooting.

 

That means Jets fans are either going to lose their franchise savior quarterback to a presidential campaign on the Wack Job Bonkers Conspiracy Party ticket or they’re going to have to actually root for Rodgers, who continues to remind people what a contemptible human being he is.

If Mac Jones’ misleadingly successful rookie year did one valuable thing for the Patriots, it created just enough hope in him that New England never seriously entered the Rodgers bidding. Considering just how much Bill Belichick publicly praised Rodgers as a player, this could have been the Patriots’ problem.

Rodgers has since denied the Sandy Hook report. Did he actually say it? He could be telling the truth, but he has plenty of motivation to lie.According to the report, Rodgers actually shared the theory with CNN reporter Pamela Brown as well as someone else. From CNN:

“Brown was covering the Kentucky Derby for CNN in 2013 when she was introduced to Rodgers, then with the Green Bay Packers, at a post-Derby party. Hearing that she was a journalist with CNN, Rodgers immediately began attacking the news media for covering up important stories. Rodgers brought up the tragic killing of 20 children and 6 adults by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School, claiming it was actually a government inside job and the media was intentionally ignoring it.

When Brown questioned him on the evidence to show this very real shooting was staged, Rodgers began sharing various theories that have been disproven numerous times.”

So it wasn’t just from unnamed sources. When he had the motivation to mislead people about being vaccinated, he didn’t hesitate. The absence of facts didn’t stop him from slandering Jimmy Kimmel either.

But whether or not he spread Sandy Hook rumors, they sure sounded like something he would say. He’s a devoted follower of Joe Rogan, who was at best the fourth most reputable actor on “News Radio” and the host of a reality game show where people ate bugs before becoming a controversial podcaster. Rodgers has built his brand by not only supporting sketchy ideas but making sure everyone knows it.

 

Awful Announcing’s Sean Keeley broke down Rodgers’ appearance on a podcast that traffics in conspiracy theories (and charges $14.99 for access). This isn’t just relatively harmless flat earth or New Mexico aliens stuff either. In addition to believing that COVID was a ruse, used to mask experimental gene therapy, Rodgers shares a belief that there’s a movement of Chinese and Spanish-speaking immigrants who “are attempting to enter the U.S. to join the military to gain citizenship and then turn against Americans.”

That’s just scratching the surface. He’s got too many unhinged ideas to mention here.

Rodgers’ legacy should have been being one of the prettiest throwers of a football in history. His delivery of the ball into a flight path is football’s equivalent of Ken Griffey Jr.’s swing.

But his results have never quite matched up with his talent. He won one Super Bowl, but his reputation is of a guy whose teams have underachieved in big games. Or at least it was his reputation until he became the weirdo darkness chamber conspiracy guy.

 

Acquiring Rodgers was a classic Jets attempt at trying to find a shortcut to winning, hoping a 40-year-old, whose skills had been fading, could reverse the Zach Wilson disaster. But now in addition to his injury, he’s adding embarrassment to an already miserable franchise. They might be better if he does run for vice president.

Rodgers is right about the Jets needing to get rid of all the things distracting them from winning.

And there’s no bigger distraction than him.

MSN is an aggregator. That was a blog post on something called “MassLive” from a dude with 5,000 followers on Twitter. Rodgers likes and espouses conspiracy weirdness and appears on a bunch of conspiracy pods. He’s disassociated from his family. The Packers and their beat writers laughed their asses off when we traded for him. Rodgers was on his best behavior for a few months after the trade, but we should settle in for a year of some ****ery now that he has control of the org and the prevailing narrative around him is that he sucks. He’s coming back from Costa Rica with a million less brain cells and an inbox loaded with anti-Rodgers/anti-Jets negativity, and with a local media apparatus that’s going to be contractually obligated to ask him about the things he believes about stuff the Jets desperately don’t want him to talk about. Maybe Rodgers handles it. Maybe he concludes that he’s a 41 year old first ballot Hall guy who has his loser coaching staff, loser owner, and loser GM all on the same leash and decides to do and say what he wants. Buckle up.

Great article.  Rodgers is a turd.

[Wit]

Listen, we all know we would rather have any other hall of fame QB playing for us; but beggars can’t be choosers. If he said the sandy hook stuff on tape he would be gone. He didn’t and even kind of denied it. The end.

If by "agree with sh*t like this" you mean "agree that people have the right to write biased Op-Ed type articles and for them to get published online and collected by news aggregators" then yes, I agree with that.

I don't feel any need "to defend the Jets and Rodgers" by default specifically, no.  Any issue should be looked at and judged individually.  For example, I did not defend Mike Vick just because he was a Jet, on the contrary I denounced him loudly for what he did.  Another example, had he gotten off, if the Jets had signed Ruggs III to play WR, I would not defend him, I would denounce him and the Jets for signing him.  Personal morals, ethics and beliefs come before football rooting interests.

I think the bottom line with AR is the 50 million. After that he can run for VP of Lower Slobbovia if he wants to. 

[Pac]

He's clearly a kook and I have no doubt he said the sandy hook stuff but it seems more likely to me that he was trolling Pamela Edwards than that he believes it.  Certainly not cool to use the incident for trolling purposes but it's the difference between being a dick and being a psycho.  

I think he's just a dick. 

Still looking forward to the revenge tour but he's making it hard to like him.

You kind of wonder if playing in Green Bay his whole career was kind of critical to his image. Five years ago I think most people would have told you he seemed like a pretty smart, down to earth guy but there's clearly always been an undercurrent of bizarreness there that likely would have come to light in a more robust media market.

Do we know why he's estranged from his family though?  How do we know it wasn't "them" rather than "him"?  I don't know either but I am at least raising the possibility.

I don't think he thinks it's a loser CS or GM (no comment about Woody) though.  Why would he have joined the organization last year if he thought so?  And don't you think Saleh would've been fired if AR8 demanded it (or was even okay with it)?

He’s coming back from Costa Rica with a million less brain cells

After reading the page below, I get the feeling that a million brain cells is a spit in the ocean.  

https://www.livescience.com/32311-how-many-cells-are-in-the-brain.html

The complexity of the task requires a fairly inconceivable 100 billion neurons, interconnected via trillions of synapses. A single firing neuron might communicate to thousands of others in a single moment. No computer comes close to the complexity of these communicating bits of organic matter.

What's more, for each neuron there are some 10 to 50 glial cells providing structural support, protection, resources and more.

[bicketybam]

How many Jets fans are rooting for an Aaron Rodgers injury? I'm guessing there are a fair amount.

He’s definitely a weirdo. I just hope he throws for a lot TDs this year and helps this team make playoffs. The End.

I bring up the family stuff because of what Saleh mentioned toward the end of last season in justifying the decision to not IR him—all he has in life is his football friends, and sending him back to Malibu would have deprived him of that. He seems to be a nice guy, but he also seems to be uniquely siloed off in a Howard Hughes sort of way. I think he chose the Jets because 1. The Jets were the only ones who came knocking and 2. They flew to Malibu, kissed his ass, and promised him the world. And their thanks for doing so? Rodgers complained about them parking out in front of his house, which gave the NFL paparazzi the photo op of Woody and Saleh crossing the street to bend the knee. They had already hired Hackett for no other reason than to assuage Rodgers in advance.

I mean I’d gladly take a weirdo QB for us it if meant a Super Bowl and multiple MVP seasons.

So far all we’ve gotten is 4 snaps from our weirdo QB however.

Just making the point that if he’d played in a major media market instead of what is essentially the only NFL team in a non-media market a lot of this stuff may have come to light earlier and impacted his career. Playing in GB was probably good for him.

To be fair, he’s gotten the white glove treatment from the locals here and would have been fine until his toe was dipped into the politics space by the RFK campaign.

Yeah, but the current crop of beat reporters is fairly toothless. Mehta would have been going through his garbage and stalking his parents if he was our QB.

How many NFL players commit actual crimes or are actual scvmbags (e.g. hitting women or kids or threatening them like Tyreek Hill did)?  Yet AR8 is the one who gets all this ridiculous scrutiny because he has opinions that people don't like.  

 

Classic "whataboutism" in action.

Players who hit women or kids also get scrutinized and more.

But this thread isn't about hitting women or kids.

People with "opinions people don't like" who also are famous public figures also get scrutinized.  This is not unique.

Honestly never cared what someone believes. That’s their business. If he does what he says and plays football and plays well, it doesn’t matter at all (to me).

And.... Rodgers hasn't uttered a word besides defending himself against an obvious hit piece that some here claim must be true. Utter BS!
