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

There is regular bat-**** crazy and there is AB bat-**** crazy.

This is AB bat-**** crazy.

Rodgers knows a stunt like that will probably keep him out of the HOF. No chance he'll do that.

With Rodgers, he keeps things under the surface brewing and then he just explodes. I don't think it is a surprise he is doing this. He did it to the Packers last year after the NFCCG holding them hostage with his antics and hold out. Football is secondary to his warped beliefs and he is more than willing to put his team's chances of a chip on the line to prove whatever point he feels he needs to make. I really believe he will do it in the playoffs, prior to the SB.

Imagine if the Bucs play the Packers in the NFCCG and Rodgers doesn't play? I can totally see that. That game would be bigger than the SB anyways unless KC is in the SB.

I was thinking Rodgers may do this because he is so thinned skinned and hated being called out over the vax stuff. I actually thought he would do it in the playoffs though not the SB. I agree with you, he has to make it out of the NFC first. LOL

He is probably retiring at season's end as the protocols are only going to be stricter next season with the booster being mandatory.

NFL won't announce anything on protocols until next summer. No one knows what the future will look like. There may be boosters, there might not. The push for boosters was largely because of Delta, but if Omicron pushes Delta out (like many are speculating) then we wait for another deadly variant, or else we take annual shots against Covid variants the same way we do (or don't) against the flu.

Does Rodgers not understand that whatever team he plays when/if he pulls that stunt would exert a lot of pressure on the NFL to make him eat his words? Especially given the month we're about to have. The omicron wave will peak in the next few weeks and then we'll be dealing with the aftermath right around the SB.

You may be right but Rodgers issue is with the unvaxed being tested everyday when they are symptom free. I don't see that protocol changing.

AR is the king of passive-aggressive behavior

I have to admit, I would love it in a way if he did that to the NFL but his career would be over which makes me happy too. lol

 

[amfootball]

BTW, if he starts really yapping about this on the MacAfee show, don't be surprised if the refs make sure GB does not make it to the SB. The NFL would totally do that in a heartbeat.

Rut-roh...

And... the journalist who called him the biggest jerk in the league is proven right.

What a ****ing tool.

 

[amfootball]

This may hurt his MVP candidacy big time. How can you vote for a guy who openly says he will quit on his team before the SB?

“Boomer has a source who says..” doesn’t prove anything right.

He really is turning into AB ...

Dude has all but guaranteed that every call in a possible NFCCG that the Packers are in will go against them. I think I will bet against GB making it to the Super Bowl.

And...

@RobertWeathers just so we are up to date with our Lily v Aaron thread.

In all seriousness I think this story is full of ****

Could be. Rodgers will be asked on MacAfee for sure and we'll see what he says ...

Maybe but because of his public dogmatic position on the matter and evasiveness in following NFL policy it does fuel speculation.

And Boomer does not just drop bomb stories like this either. I think Rodgers probably wanted this story out there if true. I mean the timing is dynamite right before the last game which is meaningless for the Packers so this bombshell will be the talk all weekend and next week especially if he goes on MacAfee and plays coy like he usually does and does not outright deny it. To be honest, if it is false, he should come out on Social Media today and vehemently deny it.

Yep, I don't see it changing either. 3-4% of big company's workforce are being fired right now. Businesses are about to go into hyperdrive on vx for employees. The current Supreme Court case is practically irrelevant given what's happening in corporate America. Companies are asking workers to return to the office but they're being met with demands by a majority of their highly skilled workforce to not have unvaxxed in the offices with them. This will change the math on vaccines on the next 6 months.

Plus, you have life insurance companies & health care companies who are finally doing the bean counting on the last 2 years. It's not pretty. Those costs are going to get passed onto companies. 40% increase in the # of deaths for working age people 18-60 compared to prepandemic, and that cost will be borne by business, but insurance companies are already saying they will target people living in high unvaxxed counties for a majority of that cost. Same goes for health insurance.

Regardless of what OSHA does, we're about to see big business make huge changes, and the NFL will follow those practices.
