Looks like something Donn would post....and have no meaning to anyone but him.

But Rodgers isn't done yet. He has one more contract to sign with Minnesota. Then the circle-of-life of Green Bay quarterbacks will be complete.
:lol:

I like Rodgers - dude told the world to fuck off with thier jab - and I have a lot of friends who are Jets fans (that's living in LA) - so I was rooting for both this season. That Jets defense is seriously fierce - they are gonna punish the AFC East. That fan base could use a win - Rodgers getting injured - that sucks - that's a loss for the whole league. All this guy has done is have a hall of fame career - sure maybe a bit mercurial, but he walks the walk. Never understood the 'hate' towards him, but whatevs.
So do I. He is the antithesis of RW and his schtick
Yeah, I hated him, because after that NFCCG when McCarthy blew it for the Jets, Rodgers shoved it up our asses every time, and would tell us all about it. The line of "I guess God was a Packers fan this time" pissed me off back then. Now that I know how annoying Russ really is? Not so much.

After Payton ripped on Hackett, and Hackett went to the Jets and Saleh sort of clapped back at Payton? Only to have that pussy BountyGate MFer try to walk it back? Knowing that Rodgers hates Russ and Russ is a sissy? I couldn't wait to root for the Jets in week five or whatever. Kind of lost it's luster.

I agree, Rodgers saying "yeah, I got immunized" was pretty fucking funny. He sort of slowly started converting me from there. Kind of like watching Brady and Woodson talk about the Tuck Rule after Brady left New England. I was like..."what the fuck, Brady seems like a cool dude!"

It's one thing for us yahoos on a chat list to laugh at the injury, dislike or like Rogers etc, but this morning
Mike Salk on 710 literally said he thought it was funny Rogers got injured and was out for the season.
I knew Salk was a dick, but I was surprised and disappointed he went that far.
He said "it's not just that I hate him as a player, I also hate him for his personality".
I'm saying Salk hates him mostly for his personality. Specifically, Salk doesn't like an athlete to take strong
conservative opinions.

My take is whatever you think about Rogers, it was a bad day for the NFL that he got knocked out for the season.
What keeps people like me interested is hero's AND villains.

One of my favorite seasons I remember was when the Patriots and Brady went undefeated all season and then
lost the SB. Since they were on almost every week, my family hate watched them and desperately rooted for
them to lose. Then when they lost the SB, it was almost as good and the Seahawks winning the SB.
I think it is what I mentioned earlier. Salk got all pissed that Rodgers would kick our asses and act smug about it. I have always said, it's hard to hate the Cleveland Browns, the Oakland A's, the LA Clippers back in the day, etc. I realize I was never a Pro Athlete, but have played enough competitive sports to know that if you are good, your goal is never to be loved by the guys you are trying to kick the shit out of. I have plenty of good friends that hated playing against me. I don't mind at all. Besides, it's on the field.

So, Salk saying he hates his personality? Maybe it is his beliefs, but I truly believe it is that he would beat our asses, and then have no problem talking about it after. A bit different, but along the same lines of thinking. My HS and the rival HS across the river just recently added SlowPitch Softball as a HS sport. We are both brand new to it, but it's not that different than FastPitch, just a different approach at the plate, and an extra defender in the field. One of the Yakima area schools kicked the crap out of our cross river rival three times in fast pitch last spring. My niece plays for them, I know the coach that is running up the score on them, so I have some insight. they did the same thing in a SlowPitch double header last night. Scored 16 runs in the 6th inning, already up 9!

My dad was talking to me about it today. I said "yeah, that's how he is. That said, if he had any fear that you guys would do it back to him, he would have called off the dogs." My point? ARod didn't worry about us, or he wouldn't have spouted off. That, and the fact that he wasn't wrong about the fact that we had no problem telling them about it when we were beating them. I think that is why the Seahawk players had way less animosity over it than guys like Salk. They knew it was part of it, and they knew guys like Kearse and Russ praising God after Mike McCarthy gave away a Championship, and guys like Sherman and ET talking shit all game made this all the more possible. But, again, I truly believe if ARod had feared us at all, he doesn't run his mouth. Case in point...I was at the last game at old Husky Stadium. Oregon outclassed us all game long. In years prior Bellotti and Kelly had ran no huddle and scored scored scored all game long on Paint Dry Ty. They could have the game I was at. I truly believe Kelly knew that with Sark? There was a chance he'd have to eat it later...and they knew with Ty there was ZERO chance we'd ever even compete.

So, I'm rambling. But Salk knew that ARod was running his mouth and knew he didn't care if we got mad about it. That pissed him off. Pissed me off a lot of times too...but I understood it. You don't like it? Beat him.

LOL. In the original series, when Kirk or Bones or one of the main characters was on a strange planet with a landing party, you knew if there were random red shirts with them, at least one red shirt was about to have a bad day, including dematerialization.

Okay, you want something probably pretty obscure, the good old days when two intelligent men could have a political discussion without a bunch of name calling, oh wait...this was prime time back in the day
