FaceTime thing is such a dumb lie. iMessage works over wifi too, so how’d Schefter get an iMessage to him?? I’ve seen Gutey with his iPhone in GB, so…. and he has no agent to comm with?
OK fine, the Packers front office is confident Jordan Love, fine let's believe this for argument sake. Then that still makes Gute utterly incompetent. If you're confident in Love, why sign Rodgers to a cap crippling deal? This season is already over directly because of that contract. Why sign him to a number of years that goes over Love's contract time? Why not sign Rodgers to a huge but short contract?
It's all BS and copium. Judge Gute by his actions, not his words. If they had an ounce of confidence in Love they never would've given Rodgers that contract and the never would've re-signed Love to the contract he has.
Bro just needs to go ahead and go bald.
You see how over here in Wisconsin we deal in the basis of nothing but fact. Yall deal with narratives and storylines😂 we just deal with the facts. Thank you Matt. Gutes more militant. Aarons a hippie. Its a natural opposition.
So yeah, he was a pos who wanted people fired, then wanted 200+ million, and expected them to just pay him and adams and no one else..lol what a bum
Rodgers loved drama. Aaron Drama Fraudgers!
Schneidmans hair is a crime against humanity
Rodgers is the same guy who lied about being “immunized”, so I wouldn’t put much stock into anything he has to say.
The more I hear about Rodgers the more I think he is a clown. He 100% tried to have his agent fire the packers GM and then he tries to say "well iiii never tried to get anyone fired, it was all my agent" 😂😂 dude is such a joke lol
Classic deferral from Rodgers when asked about something that could cast him in a bad light. GB had great years with the guy, and yeah Gutekunst is to blame as well, but good riddance honestly. For a guy that "kills his ego", he has one of the largest egos in sports. Enough Qanon conspiracies, just play ball…
Rich, I lova ya, but Rodgers sounds like the biggest donkey in the NFL.
The Rodgers mauling in the comments is hilarious.
LOL. So funny to watch Rich try to defend Rodgers just being a douchebag 😂😂
i must be old fashioned but this new "culture" surrounding QB's in the NFL, where not only are they paid a king's ransom but they also seem to feel entitled to be treated as de facto executives/GM's now…what is this about!?!!, you are paid to throw the ball NOT make personnel decisions, in fact, if im making obscene millions (Yeah, I get that he residually helps plenty of others make more money doing whatever they do in or out of the sport) imma shut my mouth and try to earn the vast amount of $$ im being paid to play one side of the ball – but these guys aren't QBGM's, they're not…they have too much power, hold the orgs hostage when they don't get precisely what they want and I may be alone in this but it turns me off as a fan and i don't care if Rodgers plays another snap of football or not… i have little interest in millionaires squabbling with billionaires over NOT getting what they deserve!!!???
Digruntled employee being let go.
I don't have cell service at my house so I have wifi calling..ok Aaron 😂
rodgers IS NOT THE BEST IN PACKER HISTORY And he Did Not make Lambeau the Beautiful place it is today That was Done as said by Bob Harlen former GM Of GB By Brett Favre ! arod good bye !!
Man am i glad Aaron is out. Finally with a team that will take him seriously. We had two of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game and gave both the boot without shaking hands first. Can't wait to watch lafluar gutekunst and love all lose their jobs. I've been a packer fan from day one so 31 yrs ago i started rooting for em. All i have to say is show the best qb to touch the skin respect and watch him win the chip baby 😂😂
AARON Will not make Jets better. They not going to make PLAYOFF and next year he Will our of JETS.
Packers r irrelevant now. Fire gutey
Its always something with HOF QB's and the Packers. I really hate my org sometimes smh
It’s tough to have things end well. Whether it’s life itself or when you’re franchise qb is in the latter stages of his career
The FaceTime things is horse crap. If you can’t call, you’re not gonna have signal strength to FaceTime. Unless of course you have Wi-Fi and then both work perfectly fine. Aaron’s so dishonest.
Technically speaking brian tried to get aaron fired first when he drafted his replacement.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Green Bay treated Rodgers so poorly, I hope he never retires as a Packer!
Rodgers just seems like a rewakly tough guy to deak with at some points. After a while you have to wonder if its everybody ekse or is it him? His brother, his old coaches (McCarthy), his current management etc… Im sure the Packers may not have been completely innocent, but cmon he has a track record
Gutekunst sounds like a terrible person to work for. Just a soulless corporate stooge with zero people skills. A real "Do what I said because I'm the boss and I said so" type.
Aaron Rodgers – A manipulator
imagine ar brings 2 sbs to ny.. people would forget he even played with the packers lol
Wtf is that haircut
The cell reception point is a dodge
Rodgers has continually had issues over the years. Ex-girlfriends, coaches, his own family. The guy is part of every situation…that makes Rodgers the common denominator. The Packers are better off without that headache. I’m a Lion fan but have always kinda liked the Packers…but this year I will really be hoping Green Bay and Love does well.
I'm guessing Rodgers will lose the AFC championship
Tired of the choking ,
Aaron " i just want people to be direct with me" Aaron " i dont talk to people i dont like"
Why would any veteran go to Green Bay with their horrible track record of handling retiring or aging vets.
Something dysfunctional is in place
That's right Rich and now it's in NY. Rodgers is the world's only other stable genius and like the other stable genius they both have a interesting relationship with the truth.
Rodgers is happy with the Jets just remember that at the end because he said it was all champagne and roses in GB except now he says it wasn't.
It's him. Hi. He's the problem. It's him.
Rodgers likes calling himself (with a clever if not also disingenuous qualification of 'arguably') the best player in franchise history. Whether true or not (and that's a subjective label to start with) it's not something any player in any sport should be yapping about (see MLB's Bert Blyleven clamoring for his own HOF induction). But it's more evidence yet of how big a egocentric prima donna he is. He held the Packers hostage with his temper tantrums after Love was drafted) and even now is miffed the Packers front office didn't kneel before him to kiss his ring. Good riddance.
He is estranged from his own family. All of them. Would you expect anything less?
The reason the area around Lambeau Field is so beautiful is because of Aaron Rodgers? The Packers have sold out every game (non-Pandemic) since 1957. Aaron Rodgers certainly contributed to the coffers of Green Bay Packers, Inc., but he is not responsible for the Don Hutson facility, or the Resch Center, or the Titletown area. What an exaggeration.
