I am tired of prominent people lying. He can dress up his responses however he wishes, but they are still lies. He should pay the price for his ignorance & arrogance. He should not be excused because of his talent. There are consequences to such behavior. Make him pay them.

The consequences are his team lost a game it should have won. That's about it. It's infuriating.

I can’t believe I care about this but he is NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO TOP 25 ALL TIME. Arguably the 3rd highest-rated QB all-time on his own team! ☮️

I'm just telling ya what the Athletic said....they ranked Favre one slot below Rodgers. Not sure where Starr is on the list.

But yeah, maybe if you're famous for throwing Haily Marys, it's because you're not putting teams away like you should.

Ha, all the heavy, life-altering information that you have supplied me with over the past couple of years and I take issue with a totally pointless, subjective, meaningless historical ranking. Thanks for tolerating my heartburn and by the way I 100% agree that he’s a lying diva. If he was black his locker would be cleaned out and the FBI would have interviewed him already. Keep up the good work!!☮️

I LOVE pointless sports arguments. It's what makes the world go round!

Nothing like three weeks on a ventilator in a medically-induced coma to do “wonders” for a top athlete’s body and coordination. And the virus isn’t content with that. It may also attack the liver, kidneys, and heart. He’s more than a diva. He’s a fucking fool.

Correct.

You know who else has to be pissed at Rodgers? The team at Jeopardy and Sony. Hollywood has stringent COVID-19 protocols to protect the many hundreds of people it takes to make a game show. There arrogance is astounding.

Good point. And you even phrased it in the form of a question!

Bias first. New England Patriots fan since 1968. Yes, I sat on those metal benches in below-freezing temps, which were less comfortable than the stands at the local high school. Had a jacket freeze and stick once, leaving down feathers in my wake.

Perfected the art of the tailgate, balancing Bloody Mary in gloved claws.

Brady would never put his family, teammates, friends and fans at risk. He is a class act, all heart except for the part that is a caring and thoughtful soul.

That ass you speak of has traded on his good looks and brash tongue for decades. All helmet, no cattle.

Please do not mention their names in the same sentence.

Thank you for attending my GregTalk. 🍹

Hey Greg great piece of writing! IF AR knew that he was allergic to something in the vaccine why not reveal it when he was asked in august about his status? You are absolutely right he is a lying privileged rich white dude who should be suspended for putting people in danger!

This was informative. I am not an ARdiva fan and don't know a thing about him, other than the latest scandal and your helpful primer. In those pics and clips you inserted, I had one thought: does this dude ever BATHE?
