America's favorite Dystopian pastime - NFL 2021-22

Yeah I mean you *might* have been able to get this for Mahomes after he won the Super Bowl but I'd guess you'd be hard pressed to get a #1 for any running back now

I was just wondering the other day why you so rarely see franchise running backs like Adrian Peterson anymore, then Derrick Henry got injured and I guess I got my answer. I don't know if linebackers are just that much bigger and faster than they were 20 years ago but it does seem like you can't just feed it to your guy 30+ times a game like you could in the Priest Holmes days. Though if you read the stories of what Priest's life is like now...yikes

Until this year, the Vikings and Dalvin Cook... maybe Carolina and McCaffrey, but yeah building an offense around the running back is rare now

Plus they usually only get the second contract then after that are just scrapping around the league

wow this henry ruggs news...

will likely spend time in prison.

both those guys are in their 3rd or 4th year as a starter so I guess the real test comes now. like I know a lot of Packer fans are still excited about Aaron Jones but the way the modern NFL is he may only have one more good year in him. it's pretty brutal.

whoa, just saw this. he's fucked.

and now, he's also released

all that bluster and DeShaun Watson didn't move. Texans really fucked this one up badly.

i'm kinda glad cos I don't want Watson playing anyway but i also didn't want him on my team.

Rodgers has Covid and will be out vs. the Chiefs. I actually kinda think this is good, Packers kinda need to know what Love is gonna look like as a starter and the Chiefs seem like a good defense to get your feet wet against

i wanna know what Love is

rodgers apparently is not vaxxed, despite telling reporters he was “immunized” in august

he was "immunized" by the lord

yeah if he used "immunized" to mean he had it already then that's pretty sneaky. I am guessing he is gonna want to clear this up, if he's missing a big game against the Chiefs cuz he's an idiot that seems like a big deal

not a surprise from him.

Rodgers definitely seems like a headcase but he reveals so little about himself that it's easy to hide. I do find it a little curious that he seems to have bad relationships with his entire family, several of his ex-teammates, the Packers front office, plus he's kinda had a lot of famous ex-girlfriends

all this talk of the discount double check and it turns out he didn’t do the most important double check of them all (two shots of the covid vaccine)

he got the Rodgers Rate (of infection)

if this is true I wonder if the NFL is gonna fine him. seems like he's been violating protocol in all these interviews.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Eric Bauman said in court today that former Raiders' WR Henry Ruggs was traveling at 156 MPH before the car crash that left a 23-year-old woman dead, and Ruggs' blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.

banner day for the nfl

Major add to the Rodgers story here from @RobDemovsky.

This summer, Rodgers petitioned the NFL to have an “alternative treatment” count as a vaccination. The NFL denied his request and has considered him unvaccinated since the start of the season.https://t.co/GybsVt7RJc pic.twitter.com/LXufOZlMLe

Lol what was the alternative treatment

Jfc on the Ruggs details

Also xxxxxpost voodoo lol

favremectin

jesus Ruggs makes the Leonard Little situation of many years back look quaint by comparison

Ruggs needs to be up on murder charges

156, damn. That's pretty fast.

With respect to Rodgers, I think it's important to remember that Shailene Woodley "makes her own medicines" (and "eats clay")

"Divergent" makes sense then

boulder lol

exactly. a vast number of celebs aren't vaccinated & then even w/in that bubble shailene woodley seems particularly coocoo. also miles teller who rodgers was very publicly hanging out w/ when he was trying to force a trade cost a movie studio millions of dollars after they had to shut a movie down bcuz he was unvaccinated and got covid

this is extra funny because the league has been hyping up the Rodgers vs. Mahomes match all season

rogers got homeopathic treatment, apparently

a friend of mine who works for an nfl broadcast team has been going on for a decade-plus about what a tremendous asshole rodgers is, and we were all like, maybe he's just weird? welp

what did he say about him

he didn't really know any of those Jeopardy answers, they were all on cards in front of him

this fucker

that in a different life he'd be a guy who berates waitstaff and writes a screed on the bill rather than leave a tip

das bad

even back in 2008 when he became the starter I remember hearing a bunch of stories about him and getting the impression that he was....well, not an asshole exactly, but definitely a genuine eccentric.

the story I keep coming back to is Rodgers telling someone on the 49ers during a game that they should sign Greg Jennings, who was in a contract year (and the Packers #1 receiver at the time). I don't know how much that influenced Jennings' decision to leave but I'm guessing it didn't help. Rodgers says it never happened but it doesn't sound like something you'd just make up

seeing a lot of suggestions that Rodgers gets fined and/or suspended, but for what exactly? the league knew his status. it's only public knowledge now because he got the virus. if he hadn't no one would have known! Rodgers is a conniving dickhead for doing this, but the league sucks for letting this fly for so long.

Last year the Raiders, Broncos, and Saints paid hundreds of thousands in fines and lost draft picks for protocol violations. I'd expect something similar. I'm not sure if Rodgers will be suspended though.

Rodgers: "Thanks for giving me a good rate."

STATE FARM: "Ummm...I'm sorry our actuary says you are a risk, we have to raise your rates."

There is a better joke there, someone will find it.

Last year the Raiders, Broncos, and Saints paid hundreds of thousands in fines and lost draft picks for protocol violations.

but what exactly is the protocol violation? the interview where he claimed to be "immunized" wasn't just yesterday. the NFL knew it was a lie then, you can't just punish him now that it's public. oh wait I forgot that's exactly how the NFL handles these kinds of situations

Don't worry they're taking a second look at the WFT emails to see if they find anything about Rodgers

gonna be a lose/lose situation for him this week, if the Packers lose everyone's gonna be pissed at Rodgers for being a dipshit, if they win half the fanbase is gonna want him gone

does this mean he'll never host jeopardy

now cool guy is complaining about the leak of his "private medical data". what a cool guy.

can't violate HIPPO

google news pushing articles about justin fields publicly confirming that he is vaccinated. it's pathetic but hilarious -- GO BEARS!

for the Bears the opportunity to troll Aaron Rodgers is pretty rare so I say go for it
