If you can believe it, Aaron Rodgers is in the news again. It’s amazing how frequently Rodgers is in the news despite never doing or saying anything wrong. The media just hates when people tell harsh truths I guess! Time truly is a flat circle.
This latest episode has to do with how he definitely did not get Jets head coach Robert Saleh fired. And if you think his outward disgust for Saleh during training camp – or during preseason and the regular season – has anything to do with it, you’re just projecting. He’s simply a humble quarterback trying to add to the distinguished reputation of the historically great team he plays for. To protect his honor, he went on another humble (ex) football player’s TV show to clear his name and absolutely OWN the haters who would say otherwise.
“As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there, I’m not going to spend more than one sentence in response to it, and that is that I resent any of those accusations because they are patently false,” he told Pat McAfee. “It’s interesting the amount of power people think that I have .
Aaron Rodgers used the same line about Mike McCarthy six years ago with the Packers
What an EPIC clap back! The haters have never been able to keep up with Rodgers’ mental fortitude and are truly in shambles. Where are the people saying darkness retreats are attention-seeking nonsense now?!
Anyway, for no reason whatsoever, here’s what Rodgers said back in 2018, when asked about his role in McCarthy’s mid-season firing:
“I don’t have a reaction to that,” he told ESPN. “I don’t need to respond to every pundit out there. I don’t know many times I’ve got to stand here and tell you, I don’t feel like I need to convince anybody about Mike and I’s relationship … Again, I don’t need to respond to every person out there who’s got an opinion. That just opens up a whole door of stuff that I don’t want to be a part of.”
The woke media will probably try and connect these two statements, but we can’t let them. They’re going to point out how other QBs don’t have the bonafide track record of having coaches fired in the middle of the season; they’re going to rudely assume that combatively going after anyone who’d suggest that he influences his team’s decisions are just trying to get their necessary monthly clicks. Rodgers is simply trying to go about his business of winning a Super Bowl – it’s not his fault that people listen to what he says on the world’s largest televised cable sports network. Can he really be “blamed” for his “actions?”
Some things – like having the head coach you publicly criticize get fired in the middle of the season – just happen. Sometimes they happen more than once. Sometimes they happen in the exact same fashion. That doesn’t mean they’re “similar.” Who hasn’t gotten their boss fired twice in seven years?
