Standing Up For Aaron Rodgers

I’m a Packer fan (as some of you know!) and at first I was pissed at Rodgers. But as Clutch pointed out, we discussed this. But I am not going to condemn Rodgers as “heartless”, a “jerk” and a “fraud” based on a 3 second video. Plus all the other circumstances, the headphones being on, etc., makes this a lot more complicated than at first appearance.

So I apologize for jumping the gun on Rodgers to all the Pack fans (like you guys care haha)

Rodgers is still a beast of a quarterback (I don’t care what Lions, Vikings and Bears fans say) and by many accounts, a nice guy who does lots of charities and good works.

Now back to the task at hand, discussing how we are going to Maul the Bears!!

Nuff said.

utterly annihiliating Flori’s column. A few thoughts …

1. Everything we saw makes a lot more sense if AR had already signed for the lady. Florio turning those 10 seconds of footage into an indepth assassination of Rodgers’ character is completely indefensible. Not sure if he has an agenda or just saw a chance to stir up shit.

2. However, AR is rapidly ascending to celebrity status, so he definitely needs to be super aware of how he comes across when cameras are around – CTV was right that somebody dropped the ball on the Pack’s side. Doesn’t mean Rodgers is a bad a person, but as the face of the franchise, he has to be extra considerate. Obviously, this would be a complete nonstory if, say, Erik Walden blew past a cancer patient. At least some people are only going to hear one side of this. Sucks, but welcome to the TMZ era.

3. God, how much do Vikes fans hate Aaron Rodgers? Is it all Vikes fans or just the Favre dead-enders who think this way?

Maybe Rogers is like Stephen Colbert and smart enough to realize “komen for the cure” is a load of crap. Their CEO and board of directors have 1/2 million dollar plus salaries. They have also used donor money to sue any charity using the phrase “for the cure” (even if they are for something other than breast cancer). Komen for the Cure is a business, masquerading a charity. I’d probably snub any events thrown by them just on principle. There are better charities out there, as Aaron rodgers has shown in his support (he’s signed helmets for children with cancer)>

To say Aaron Rodgers doesn’t care though is completely false. He’s done multiple “make a wish” events where young packer fans have taken the practice field with him and actually thrown/caught a few balls, which takes a hell of a lot more time than signing a simple autograph. He also does a lot of stuff for other kids.

anyone have a link to the article/video? this is the first i have heard of it.

WBAY has now reposted the ENTIRE story. Check in yourself and pay attention to the old guy with the signed Packers helmet. His name is Cody Cavanaugh, the husband of the woman in question. His quote is “Last Saturday we were up here and I got 20-plus signatures” as he shows off the helmet. THAT is when HIS WIFE got Rodgers to sign her stuff. Rodgers did not “diss” anyone. End of story, but the media is looking to make him out to be an evil, uncaring person and doesn’t really care about facts. Watch it yourself…it’s on the original posting TV station.. wbay-dot-com

Clay Matthews didn’t use his turn signal once.

Wednesday: McCarthy once tipped a waitress less than 15% because she messed up his order.

Thursday: Woodson pulled the tag off a mattress even though it clearly said not to.

Friday: Jennings wife once asked if her dinner was good, and he said yes….but it was NOT good.

And the big bombshell that will rock the world comes Saturday: Ted Thompson is sometimes short and evasive with the media!
