Liked him earlier in is career. I remember a game against the Cardinals and there was a blatant face mask that wasn't called. When asked about it after the game, Rodgers simply replied that the team needed to play better. Took the high road, I was a huge fan at that point.

But then he started drinking his own Kool-Aid and became a prima donna like his predecessor, Favre.

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.

Question: why are Jets fans generally more likely to also be Mets fans, and are they also partial to a particular NBA or NHL team (since there are two of each in NYC)?
I have a friend that is a Mets and Giants fan and he says it is unusal.

Some of it is about the Borough where fans grew up but it is also old school vs. new school. Giants and Yankees obviously the former....
So would Mets/Jets fans also prefer the Nets over the Knicks?
Former Brooklyn Dodger fans and their offspring probably became Mets fans and most lived in Brooklyn is if they still do I imagine they would be Nets fans. The NY Giants Baseball team played in Manhattan so there is likely a Knicks connection of some sort.

Salk is a classic hypocritical slimy lib that preaches tolerance when in reality they are completely intolerant of anyone with different views....

And treats his coworkers like shit for good measure...

Think the split between Mets and Yankee fans is pretty geographical. Met fans from queens down through long island. Yankees fans north. Not sure how that would apply to combined do fandom, interesting question

I would never wish injury on a player. But memes are fun :D

And I had a gut feeling that something was going to happen to jeopardize his season with the Jets. Turns out it was an injury.

Yeah the Geography thing was probably bigger the first half of the 20th century when people typically were born lived and died all in the same neighborhood. Little Italy here in Boston is in the North End. We went on a food tour and the guide was 100% Italian that was born in the early 60s in the neighborhood when it was 99% Italian but now it is gentrified and maybe only 5% Italian. He had great stories. Started working as a kid in one of the 100+ Italian restaurants and then eventually owned his own restaurant.

Highly recommend it to any one.
Welcome to North End Boston Food Tour. Today, you will meet your tour guide in Little Italy of Boston, MA. My name is Bobby Agrippino, and I am the owner and tour guide of North End Boston Food Tour. I was born here, and I have lived in this quaint Italian neighborhood for my entire life. As a lifelong resident, I can educate you on things that no other tour can. Join me today for an experience of a lifetime as we travel back to the late 1800s and back to the present day. We will go off the beaten path and visit the nooks and crannies of this 1 square mile neighborhood and learn about the history of the first Italians who settled here and how this neighborhood came to be what it is today. All the delicious food and wine we will be eating and drinking is a bonus to the culture and history of this wonderful neighborhood.
