Re: Nice to see Rodgers respects Brady's play
It's not that I doubt the veracity of Rodgers' claims that Kornheiser was not prepared, but it is an eye opener that he would rip him personally, and espn as a whole so publicly. Yes, I know Brady called espn out with his comment that they are mtv without the highlights, but I think that was a bit different. First, espn had put Brady's team through the skewer on a daily basis for several months with a lot of unfounded speculation. Second, Brady's comment was directed to the network as a whole and not a single individual. Kornheiser did say that 'this is a great gamble of the 2008 season, the Packers cutting loose Brett Favre and going with Aaron Rodgers', but it's not as if he was either the only one saying it at the time, or the loudest voice asking that question then.
It's nice to hear athletes give candid responses rather than the typical generic responses that say nothing, but still, this is somewhat surprising to me.
