Last (Hopefully) Points On Aaron Rodgers

This week, America’s favorite football/public health expert, Green Bay (For The Moment) QB Aaron Rodgers, gave his post-mortem on the season. The only real point of which that anyone will remember was how all of the pro-vax people were rooting against his team, because he’s not vaccinated. (Something something, free thinker sheep I tune out people of bad faith when they talk because that’s what you should do when people of bad faith talk.)

Now folks, I am strongly of the opinion that athletes should be watched, in games, and not heard. But since that’s not how the world works, we get to reply to such nonsense.

1) Um, what does it matter? I don’t think the karmic wishes of the majority of the country (because the majority of the country are not, in fact, Packers or Rodgers fans) had much to do with you spitting the bit against the Niners. Especially since you were at home. Were you only good before because, like Tinker Bell, we all clapped?

 2)     If true, wouldn’t this have been (yet another) reason to get vaccinated? We’re still waiting to see what exactly all of you brave non-conformers / active members of Team Virus are winning for all of this pain and sacrifice. Besides, you know, attention.

 3)     I know you like to keep changing the subject away from how you’ve lost yet another home playoff game, let alone after a bye week, but… isn’t the whole reason why you became Public Health Enemy #1 isn’t just that you are idiotically unvaccinated, but that you also lied your ass off about it? Plenty of Chokey QBs (Hello, Carson Wentz! Take a fat load off from a socially responsible distance) have been unvaccinated and hurt their teams. You seemed to have been the only one to lie (and lie, and lie) about it.

 4)     Isn’t Packer Fan ready to move on from this? You had the whole ugly end of the Brett Favre era to live with, what with the Viking sojourn and the Jets dick pix. It’s not like Rodgers, as he enters the Bloated Ego Supernova stage of his career, is going to get better, more humble, less exasperating in anything that isn’t Game, or develop the ability to actually come through when it matters. (And no, you probably aren’t, because there’s nothing about Jordan Love right now that screams can’t wait to get to see more of him, but still. Trust me. As someone who no longer has to root for Carson Wentz, there are advantages to getting a Covid Queen QB out of town.)

 5)     State Farm, why do you want your brand associated with this? Insurance is enough of a commodity / similar product that I sure as hell do not want any part of a premium to go into the pocket of this asshat – or that this sentiment is completely unique to me.

 Or the, um, vast majority of football fans that aren’t Packer or Rodgers fans. As the man himself said, very few of them these days!
