That's the thing that's wild to me - he could've left it at a few sentences about being allergic and it wouldn't have been great, but we all could've moved on without too much controversy even if people still doubted it. Instead, he was super-ultra-mega-uber-mondo-defensive and went on a full anti-vaxxer rant for like 20 minutes while the entire world was watching. I had to turn off the video while I was watching it live because of how embarrassing it was. Meanwhile, Pat McAfee was sitting there in a sort of stunned silence while the insanity just continued to crap out of Rodgers' mouth and he couldn't stop Rodgers from self-immolating. Just so unnecessary and gross. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Gromnir Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 previous to getting caught in the lie, if rodgers had explained he weren't taking the vaccine 'cause o' an allergy, we woulda' given him the benefit o' the doubt and assumed he were telling the truth, even if such a belief were a bit naïve. dunno. the allergy explanation isn't too convincing either. the cdc does not actual recommend you forgoing the vaccine if you have an allergy to an ingredient o' one o' the vaccines. according to the cdc, you should have a discussion with your doctor if you have such an allergy, and am doubting joe rogan counts. cdc says don't use the vaccine if you have had a "severe" or "immediate" reaction to an ingredient. rodgers is s'posed allergic to an ingredient in both moderna and pfizer and there is a relative short list o' stuff he could possible be allergic to in one o' those. since rodgers already lied, chances are we woulda' asked to know what specific he were allergic to and if he had previous suffered a significant allergic reaction to the ingredients, and considering he had already lied 'bout taking the vaccine, we likely woulda wanted proof. tell us he is allergic to peg or lipids? is possible but a statistical anomaly. heck, the nfl has already partial thrown rodgers under the bus on his lying as would seem they denied that an nfl team doctor spoke with rodgers 'bout the vaccine and provided the advice rodgers claim were given. nevertheless, is true this ain't anywhere near some o' the other nfl player behaviors which the nfl has overlooked or condoned. we haven't purchased steelers merch or rooted for the team since 2010, and we won't as long as roethlisberger remains on the team. is a handful o' rogues in our big ben category and aaron rodgers recent antivax tirade and tortured relationship with honesty don't place him in that category o' villain. is not as if we would stop rooting for greenbay just 'cause rodgers is a tool, although am also not liking how the green bay organization enabled rodgers behavior and lies. we did end up watching the full rodgers interview btw. ... wow.

Keyrock Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I feel like Rodgers is paying me back for the multiple times he murdered muh Boys in the most painful way possible and ended our season. Between the will he won't he off-season drama and this latest media ****storm... *chef kiss* Magnifique! I hope he keeps pouring gasoline on the fire, this is great! 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 So, umm, I don't... What do you say about a game like that? I can't blame our defense, what are they supposed to do when they spend the entire game on the field because the offense can't do anything? There's having a bad game, that happens, then there is this.

Amentep Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Falcons beat the Saints to move to 4-4. Given the way we opened (3 preseason losses and then lose first two games) its nice to be at .500, I guess. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

I hate 17 games, and I hate 7 post-season teams. 16 and 6 was so much more mathematically pleasing, plus it used to be that two teams got a bye, now the #1 seed has an overwhelming advantage compared to all the other teams when #1 seeds were already representing their conference at too high of a rate...ergh. NFC is very top-heavy this season, although this week did some pretty serious damage to that with the Packers (lmao), Rams, Cowboys, and Saints (double lmao) all losing. 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

The games are so slow now with all the interminable penalty reviews that they're barely worth watching. Adding one more game doesn't really make it any interesting; they need to speed up the action.

Keyrock Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) After the utter embarrassment that occurred last weekend, muh Boys seem to have their $#!+ together this week. Maybe just before last week's game a truck full of banana peels crashed in the middle of the field, spilling its contents. This week banana peel trucks were wisely banned from driving anywhere near the football game.

I did earlier this season write that we would have a dumb loss somewhere along the way, I just didn't expect muh boys to $#!+ the bed quite so spectacularly last week. As long as it was an outlier and we got it out of our system I guess it's fine. We looked good this week but it was against the hapless Falcons. Our tough stretch is coming up with Chiefs, Raiders, and Saints the next 3 weeks. Granted, KC has been super shaky all year and Nawlins lost Jameis. Still, those games should be better indicators of if we're back in good form than this week's game was.

Keyrock Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) The Bills were one of the pre-season favorites to go to the superbowl BIG GAME and they're still technically tied for the division lead, but, and I can't believe I'm actually typing this, the Pats look like the best team in the AFC East.

Keyrock Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 2 of the last 3 weeks our offense has been worthless, and the 1 week we lit the other team up was against a team that isn't even trying any more and wasn't any good to begin with.
