The Green Bay Packers were all but dead a month ago but their January 1st thumping of division leading Minnesota injected new life into Packerland. If Green Bay can beat the Detroit Lions in the final regular season game, an uncharacteristic 9-8 record will earn the Packers a playoff berth. If the Packers lose to Detroit, I don't expect that we'll see Aaron Rodgers play another NFL game. Here are his postgame comments. The most telling are his final thoughts. This boy is all about head trips and spiritual influences in his real life.

Green Bay Packers quarterback still acting as though he’s won 6 rings instead of one 🤔
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers appeared on late night Sportscenter with his longtime friend Kenny Mayne. It was mostly a chance for Rodgers to celebrate Mayne's quirky legacy on his final ESPN broadcast. The NFL MVP gushed over Mayne's clever swerves from traditional sports broadcasting to add a dimension of snark and cynicism to ESPN's signature show. Rodgers fielded tough questions about his sartorial choices at the Kentucky Derby and his upcoming wedding. Oh, and that little matter about whether Aaron Rodgers will show up for work in Green Bay finally popped up at 7:23 into the interview. Aaron is keeping it coy but it sounds as though he wants to play elsewhere. The problems for Rodgers are (1) he has a
Brett Favre blasts woke sports: “I want to watch a game, not what’s going on outside of the game, and I think the general fan feels the same way.”
Brett Favre is asking to get sacked by the hyper-sensitive left "woke" crowd that encourages political grandstanding in every public sphere. Favre dares to disagree with twitter bullies who refuse to tolerate opposing opinions, saying "I think both sides, for the most part, want to see it just remain about the sport, not about politics." Both sides? Not the liberal side! They're WOKE! Cue the outrage machine (even before listening to his comments in full context)! The 20 year pro football veteran and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Favre refuses to accept woke sports and feels most fans agree with him. Favre to interviewer Andrew Klavan: “Something’s got to unite us. And the games or sport in the poast has been some kind of
Thank you, Jordan Love and Loveless Danica – Aaron Rodgers is fully engaged with football
Green Bay Packers fans were stunned when the team used its first round 2020 NFL draft pick on Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. Wait...what? The team with Aaron Rodgers, the greatest quarterback in Green Bay's glorious history, opts not to draft an excellent receiver to complement its superstar leader? Yeppers. Packers management decided to prepare for the eventual exit of 37-year-old Rodgers, mindful of age, money, and forward momentum. So Jordan Love is now on the sideline witnessing Rodgers in perhaps his greatest season ever. On Sunday Night Football last night, Rodgers was touted by announcers Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth as the leading MVP candidate again. So what's up with Aaron? Seeing the Packers use their primary draft pick for a young quarterback
Reggie Bonnafon on staying NFL game ready during a pandemic shutdown
Former Trinity High School and University of Louisville football star Reggie Bonnafon joined me on 840WHAS to talk about his workout regimen during the coronavirus quarantine affecting the world. Who guessed that hot yoga would be a leading exercise for this NFL player? Reggie loves it but some of his burly football friends are not fans. .@Panthers RB @RelentlessReg1 joined me to talk quarantine workouts, @NFL job duties, his 59 yard touchdown romp vs @Jaguars, UofL alums @TeddyB_h2o @jmill_70 joining up, & new @UofLFootball leadership 🏈 @840WHAS audio🎙 https://t.co/gCEPlZd703 #NFL #GoCards @GoRocks #Louisville pic.twitter.com/gAIXeAMejX— Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) April 9, 2020
Surely the Patriots caught some extra film of the Titans
Tom Brady tried to get the wildcard W, but Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry slapped it away from him #TENvsNE pic.twitter.com/8eSqDm4bOz— BetOnline.ag (@betonline_ag) January 5, 2020 The Patriots dynasty of cheating and arrogance ended with a thud last night. The Tennessee Titans beat the New England Patriots in an AFC wildcard playoff game. Bill Belichick was cursing, Tom Brady was sullen. The Boston area crowd was silenced. Many think that the 6 time Super Bowl Champion quarterback and his surly head coach are breaking up. Belichick is fine but his QB will turn 43 before next season. Bye bye, Tom Brady. Leave the goat parked out back. Lamar Jackson will be by to pick it up later. tom brady and the
Packing joy into Sundays again
Coach LaFleur gave @AaronRodgers12 the game ball after he posted a perfect passer rating & 6 total TDs in the win over the Raiders! #OAKvsGB | #GoPackGo pic.twitter.com/1PHimqOrUU— Green Bay Packers (@packers) October 20, 2019 The Green Bay Packers are thundering through this season with first year head coach Matt Lafleur. Aaron Rodgers has been magnificent, soaring on a trajectory even beyond his Super Bowl victory season a few years ago. “It is incredible, absolutely incredible, what he did today.”@AaronRodgers12 had 6 total TDs & posted the franchise’s first perfect passer rating of 158.3 vs. the Raiders 📰 https://t.co/g5bCKQD0I1— Green Bay Packers (@packers) October 21, 2019 #GoPackGo
America’s team wins again, rolled by the Double A Train
The Dallas Cowboys were once known as America's team but their 1990s success has settled into consistently average performances. TV ratings get a bump whenever the Cowboys or Packers are featured, and both teams have great support on road games. So what happened this season when the two powerhouse franchises met? You already know that the Cowboys just lost again to the Green Bay Packers, the REAL America's team. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' record is 7-2 versus the Dallas Cowboys, including multiple wins in Dallas. Add in another Aaron (Jones) and the Cowboys are helpless against the Double A Train. Early season fears that Rodgers was not seeing eye-to-eye with first year Packers coach Matt LaFleur have been put to rest. Rodgers clearly
Watch that first step…it’s a doozy and there’s a drunk lady in the control tower
Jump out of an airplane and sail right into Arrowhead Stadium without any risk of injury. It's as though you are tethered to this U.S. Army Special Ops paratrooper as you sail back to earth. Skydiving into Arrowhead Stadium!The U.S. Army Special Ops Command Black Daggers Parachute Team soars into #ArrowheadStadium before the #Chiefs beat the Cardinals @USASOCNews #ChiefsKingdom #fox4kc pic.twitter.com/Wncmy4K3fC— Jason Lamb (@jasonlambkc) November 11, 2018 It's pretty cool to see how he turns one revolution to position himself for entry into the stadium, even doing one sweeping slalom turn to eat up more altitude before the final approach to the field. Great stuff. And he didn't have to mess with any slurred-speech air traffic controller to navigate his
The very bad week of Papa John Schnatter
The founder of Papa John’s pizza company admitted using the N-word during a recent media training exercise. The slur was reported on Forbes.com and “Papa John” Schnatter was quickly removed as chairman of the Louisville-based company. The University of Louisville then removed Schnatter from its board of trustees, scrubbed his name from the business school, and Papa John’s pizza no longer retains naming rights to the Louisville football stadium. Papa John’s immediately bleached Schnatter’s image from all of its marketing materials. Ousted Papa John’s founder’s defense.
