http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/16/aaron-rodgers-has-a-lot-to-learn-about-where-his-money-comes-from/
and how the story blew up in his face and how he's now desperately trying to save face?

xpost - That (non) story pissed me off so bad. Fuck a Florio, man.

hey frog, can you put up a scan of the autographed card? I think that is SO cool
― VegemiteGrrrl, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 22:07 (thirteen years ago) link
FUCK Mike Florio, God that article was infuriating. Him showing scorn to the cancer patient for not following along in his assassination of Rodgers reminds me of the South Park episode where the gay rights advocate called Big Gay Al a homophobe.
There are plenty of degenerate players in the league already, write about them.

Gregg Doyel over at CBS Sports wrote a rebuttal...it's a little bit on the sentimental side but I kinda liked it, just for telling more of the real side that Florio ignored.

i'd most definitely carry it around if it wasn't so valuable. as it stands my 'lucky charm' is a dollar i got back in change at my work cafeteria, with a "B" and "R" placed on the back so it spells "BONER"
― frogbs, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link
also I do have something even better that I can get you a picture of...my brother drew a picture of Rodgers belting on a sign that we brought to the 49ers game...the thing is such a beauty
― frogbs, Tuesday, 18 January 2011 22:34 (thirteen years ago) link
I desire to see these things, frog

i would say that i would like to see mike florio beaten senseless for those articles, but i wouldn't step in to protest.

should i place bets against the jets?
it would be sad to have debts because of the jets.

do one of the props instead of the game, there's more money that way.
― five deadly venoms (San Te), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 00:53 (thirteen years ago) link
To me, both of these games are pick-em at best. I don't see any club having a big advantage on the other one, which is kind of true to how the season really went down.
― earlnash, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:36 (thirteen years ago) link
florio is one of those guys who can never ever admit he's wrong, it's like the daily kos of football

I like the Steelers as a franchise, and as a team, I'm just wanting someone new this year.
― five deadly venoms (San Te), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:08 (thirteen years ago) link
who is your team?
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, who do you root for San Te? I was just wondering that today
― VegemiteGrrrl, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm a Miami Dolphins fan
― five deadly venoms (San Te), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:19 (thirteen years ago) link
so I often live vicariously through other teams in the playoffs, at least in the post-Marino era
my comment above, weirdly worded as it was, was just saying I'd prefer not to see the Steelers win again
― five deadly venoms (San Te), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:20 (thirteen years ago) link
I totally love their defense though.
you should probably support dan marino's hometown imo

On the campaign trail, huh mookie? :)
― VegemiteGrrrl, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:23 (thirteen years ago) link
steelers are a cool team imo. no problem if they win it.
same with the packers.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:24 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't live and die with the steelers the way i do with the penguins, but yeah i do think they are largely a force for good in pittsburgh and the league. which is one of the reasons the ben thing bothers me a lot.
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:26 (thirteen years ago) link
we can't hatcat "jets" it would have everybody on ILX up in arms everytime they talked about jets
― thank you based jättegod (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:26 (thirteen years ago) link
i can't even understand hating the packers (well, unless you're a vikings or bears fan) -- how can you not love a collectively owned team from a town of 101,025 people
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:28 (thirteen years ago) link
it might not matter much, but you should maybe hatcat j-e-t-s then
yeah, steelers and packers are cool pillars of the league. awesome super-bowl matchup imo. two cool helmets/uniforms, too.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:30 (thirteen years ago) link
Mike Tomlin is great, I think if I was starting a club and had to pick a coach, he might be the dude. That said, as a little kid in the 70s, I was more in the Staubach Cowboys fan (my dad was in the Navy in the early 60s and he loved Roger the Dodger, as they got time off to listen to them on the radio back in the day) and I thought the Houston Oilers got ripped off by the Steelers by shite calls then in the 80s I followed the Bengals, so I have NEVER liked the Steelers. Add that in with a few of the high profile creeps on their roster, I just don't like them. The Jets are loud and obnoxious, but the they haven't won it forver and I don't think they are building a dynasty, so they don't freak me out. I thought Rex Ryan was a guy I would have picked as a coach a couple of years ago.
I'd also rather the Bears meet the Jets in the Superbowl, if it its going down.
― earlnash, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:30 (thirteen years ago) link
i'd rather have my right eye gouged out with a rusty nail than have the jets in the superbowl, but there you are.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:32 (thirteen years ago) link
mookie otm about the hating the Packers. One of the few forces of good left in the league.
Actually mookie I was watching the 24/7 on the Pens/Caps and now I really really want to go to Piittsburgh one day for a game. City is really cool looking, the rivers and shit, seems like my kinda place.

yeah it's a good town -- and cheap! i'd live there if i hadn't grown up there, if you know what i mean.
pittsburgh has been blessed by having the rooneys and mario lemieux. if only the pirates had an owner half as good . . .
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Pittsburgh did it the right way, sticking with a coach for 14+ years...I was real happy when Cowher got his.

btw the steelers have had three head coaches in my lifetime. and i am 39 years old
1. 49ers2. Cowboys (until the Jones family doesn't own the club)3. Pats
I have enjoyed watching a decade of crap in SF. I hate those bastards only with the knowledge that eventually someone will have them being good again.
Raiders were a fun team when I was a kid and were on TV a ton in the early 80s. Jim Plunkett is one of my all time favorites.

Riding bench vs playing also interesting wrt Sanchez...kind of feel like Jets hold him at cross purposes, like "get out there!" but "call home every 30 minutes so we know you're okay". Feel like the only way anyone is going to know for sure about him is if they loosen the reins on him, let him make his own mistakes. Bunt guess the league isn't like that anymore.

the australian open is currently on espn2 (tape delayed)
the scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen is informing me that when the steelers & packers played in 2009, roffles was 6-for-7 using play-action and rogers was something-for-something when facing 5+ pass rushers
i mean, come on

Big B makes the same plays over and over again completely oblivious to the chaos surrounding him but still the loss of Pouncey Billups will have me betting on the Packers.
