Aaron Rodgers positive for COVID (update: “furious” status leaked, claims he didn’t lie, attacks NFL protocols)

Close the gate, the horse is gone!

NFL reiterates unvaccinated players must mask up during indoor media interviews

The NFL and NFLPA updated the COVID-19 protocols, sending a memo to the 32 teams Tuesday.

profootballtalk.nbcsports.com

Hope he trolls the media and the league by wearing a super, super thick mask, or 8 of them at once, so you can't hear a word he says.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I knew he was nuts when he didn't lock down Olivia Munn

@Ice_Ice_Brady can answer this for you.

Or maybe she was smart enough to get rid of him.

It really wasn’t a good business move on her part.

 

[TBR]

Yes, he should have listened to at least one more Joe Rogan podcast

Yea those default news apps pre-installed on your phone are so much more credible. Same with the carefully curated and censored Google, Twitter and YouTube news feeds. Imagine having your worldview fed to you by these sources lmao. China's media is refreshingly honest by comparison.

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

The man has a way with words.

Its him blaming others and being passive aggressive.

Douchebag.

People who have chosen to not be vaccinated should be responsible for their insurance co-pays if they get COVID, whereas the government should keep picking up the tab for those who were vaccinated. That's as far as it should go, imo.

That tab was almost $6 billion over the last few months, by the way, with the average hospital stay at $20,000, and with the vast majority - 90+%? - of those stays among the minority who are stubbornly refusing to take the vaccine.

Right on the money.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

This is the correct way to portray vaccine effectiveness. It's even more dramatic if you break this down by age (because vaccination rates are higher among old people than young, and old folks are way more likely to be hospitalized - an factor of 3 for each and every decade of age).

 

[Pats2000]

What a stupid reason, just fess up you didn't want it. Also, the league not suspending Rodgers over this and suspending Brady for 4 games for weather related coldness just shows how bullsh*t the whole deal is

 

[XLIX]

Don't you have some bat boy or bigfoot to go hunt down? Its a pandemic, I am not sure why you tinfoil hat wearing morons have to make it a political thing that the government is trying to control you becuase they dont want your stupid ass to die. I just dont get it.

You must have the reading comprehension of a 2nd grader. I have not said a single word about the government "controlling people." I am saying we should not withhold hospital services from people who are not vaccinated. Why that simple statement makes so many people lose their minds remains as yet a mystery.

Try responding to my actual words instead of your childish interpretation of them. K thx.

 

[Pats2000]

So to be clear, this guy's main source of medical advice is a) his wife taking clay and eating it and/or sticking it up her ass, and b) Joe Rogan saying you should eat apple flavored horse drugs. And in his mind this makes him a disciple of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Wha

Maybe they make a night of it and he packs it in there for her? I'd take that kind of medical advice

 

[XLIX]

Ah, my bad. I didn't realize you were just an idiot.

Typical response: Not a single idea of mine rebutted.

Feel free to make an intelligent post anytime now - if you are even capable of doing so (which evidence suggests you are not).

 

[sambam94]

No, he took something still got sick and took a chance of dying because of his stupidity and selfishness

that's just a horrible take.

 

[XLIX]

Fair enough on your reasoning…

Real question: using common sense, do really think chronic health problems - even if they’re preventable through a lifestyle change - are the same level of choice as accepting a free vaccination?

"Chronic health problems" is a vague term (I say that because they can be caused by all sorts of things from behavior to genetics to environment, etc) , so please allow me to put it this way: Yes, I see the analogy between withholding care from unvaccinated people as being very much the same as withholding care from, say, a 25 year smoker with lung cancer.

Once you have made the distribution of medical care contingent on the patient's behavioral decisions, rather than medical decisions, it sets a very dangerous precedent IMHO.

Regardless, it’s not the willful disobedience that’s being put on trial by most people. It’s the pragmatic public safety concern about overflowing hospitals, straining health care workers, exposing doctors and nurses to the virus, and taking up finite resources. Hence, Covid is risky on many other levels, whereas poor lifestyle choices may kill you but aren’t going to trigger a major public health crisis whereby it puts others at imminent risk too.

Smoking doesn't put others at risk? Our nation's opioid addiction doesn't put others at risk? And those things aren't major health crises? I have to respectfully disagree there. Those things have simply been on the back burner the past 2 years....

 

[XLIX]

Who should he have called? The Pfizer CEO? A doctor from the same medical community who killed and ruined millions of lives prescribing opioids? Or once told us that cigarettes were healthy? Or that saturated fats are bad? The same medical community open to prescribing children with puberty blockers and referrals to surgeons to mutilate their genitals?

It is kinda funny how people who have hated and criticized pharmaceuticals for the past few decades are now madly in love with them.... strange bedfellows indeed...

300K fine for GB and 14.6K fine for Rodgers

 

[Tony2046]

See my answer: there is no comparison to this - not smoking, not weight, not eating crappy food. This is a single virus with a single, easy, and free solution.

No. I disagree. Responsibility for your own health is the parameter you're establishing. That could lead to anything.

 

[Tony2046]

300K fine for GB and 14.6K fine for Rodgers

What a crock.

Other teams are "outraged" by league's handling of Packers, Aaron Rodgers - ProFootballTalk

The Packers have been fined $300,000, and quarterback Aaron Rodgers and receiver Allen Lazard have each been fined $14,650 for violating COVID-19 protocols, a league source said.

Guess GBs Executive Committee will have to cut down their Annual meeting in Vegas from 4 to 3 days now.

Absolutely unbelievable. They have mountains of indisputable proof that Rodgers and the packers violated an agreed to CBA rule and the punishment is SO much less then something their own lawyers admitted in Federal court they had ZERO none circumstantial evidence even occurred in deflategate. The guy could have literally killed a person because he thinks he is above the rules and didnt want to deal with the backlash of being honest, but that is not as egregious as a guy who may or may not have taken a dollar bills worth of air out of a football game that was won behind a devastating ground attack. If the NFL hadn’t been a complete and utter joke before this it sure is now. I hate the league and the 32 so much, they make FIFA look like a world class organization. The punishment should have been at least a 4 game suspension and a first round draft pick. At a minimum.
