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

[Tottie]

ESPN reports the NFL has known all season because they had conversations with Rodgers about an alternative treatment. The Packers have been putting him unmasked in the press room all season. Why did this NFL not stop them?

Rodgers lied, commissioners exempt list?

My understanding is that it literally requires an arrest/indictment on a felony.

WTF!!!??

@Ian I request permission to change my pick on the Chiefs-Packers game.

You don't need permission; just go back to the page and change your pick.

Weekly picks Green Bay changed to Kansas City.....Lol

Oh I didn't know that- thought they were locked in once I made my picks. Thanks.

The statement said he had Covid. Two reporters said he wasn't vaccinated. His statement said he was immunized. I am not sure what proof the reporters have that he wasn't vaccinated.

For all we know, both those statements could be true from Rodgers‘ perspective. Seems pretty clear he’s unvaxxed from the reporting and consequences as we know it. From Rodgers’ perspective, he might have had COVID already and not disclosed it (similar to Brady’s case not being made public until 6 months later), and considers himself immunized from the natural antibodies he acquired (and thus that choice of words). Just speculation on my part, but it could be Rodgers’ way of getting around that statement.

Still doesn’t excuse the fact that he clearly broke the rules if that was the case — Cam was in the same boat and was masked up.

Natural immunity from testing positive in the past?

Who knows. Hes a wackjob

The NFL isn’t very bright. We know this. They probably figured he won’t catch it anyway. Now they’ll be be under immense scrutiny too, and they’ll look for every angle to blame the team and player 100%.

What a f****ing coward. If you are going to be an idiot and not get vaccinated, at least own it. Don't lie and let guys like Wentz and Cousins get trashed by the media and fans for owning up to it.

I agree it's cowardly, although under a healthy, non-dysfuncational society, the decision to not take the flawed vax shouldn't be such a controversial issue that brings all this scrutiny. This goes back to the media and becomes a whole other topic... But yes, given the sh*tty society we live in, it's cowardly.

LOL, I already changed mine

I'm assuming we'll see quite a shift in that game heading into tonight...which stinks because while I hate Rodgers, obviously the worse the Chiefs do, the better it is for us.

He's employed by the NFL, not society in general.

Yeah, we're 100% not getting into that here. For everyone else, please keep the thread focused on hammering Rodgers and keep the political stuff out of it.

3 months from now:

The New England Patriots have been penalized a first round pick in the 2022 draft.

Get your popcorn out for this one. This ought to be fun if a) the Packers let him break protocols anyway and b) the league was ok with it

 

[Nehalem]

So Love? Awesome. He can beat the Chiefs. LOL

It would be funny if Love balls out on Sunday and Aaron Rodgers ends up losing the starting job

 

[Lagaffe_07]

It’s more probable than not that he lied. He should be at least be suspended 4 games and the packers should be fined 1M dollars and should be ripped of their next 3 1st round pick
