From A-Rod to A-Hole
Statistically, Aaron Rodgers is a phenomenal Hall-of-Fame worthy quarterback that has now played four NFL Most Valuable Player seasons (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). And he has developed a very shitty attitude somewhere between his MVP awards and underachieving post-seasons.
Whatever we might say about Pat McAfee, he gave us all a gift this season by coaxing out the true character of A-Rod when the superstar quarterback was quarantined with covid three months after obfuscating in a press conference that he had been “immunized”; and that true character is of a total A-hole and the epitome of the arrogantly dumb jock. Ultimately, the Green Bay Packers were fined $300,000 for not disciplining Rodgers about failing to wear a mask during press conferences and not reporting Rodgers and teammate Allen Lazard for attending a Halloween party. Rodgers could have been fined at least $58,600, based on a conservative reported estimate.
“I realize I’m in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now,” Rodgers said back on November 5. “So, before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket, I think I would like to set the record straight on so many of the blatant lies that are out there about myself.”
But after having lied about being vaccinated and subsequently blowing off mask requirements at press conferences and around teammates, and for going out to bars, a Halloween party and taking in comedian Bert Kreischer’s show and hanging out on his tour bus, all while unvaccinated, Rodgers took a hit of only $14,650. And on Thursday, February 10, the National Football League awarded Rodgers as its Most Valuable Player.
Rodgers, however, finally looks to have run out of excuses for his tradition of playoff choking this year. He got the receivers he wanted, the running game to balance the offense, the defense to make the stops needed to give him the fucking ball for heroic 4th quarter drives and he can’t even look at an open receiver on 3rd and long with 5 mins left.
“There were a ton of people tuning in, rooting against us for one reason and one reason only,” Rodgers whined after the game in his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. “It’s because of my vaccination status and them wanting to see us lose so they could pile on.” And so what if they did? Did they block any field goals, or block a punt for 6…
