Aaron Jones grew up idolizing Emmitt Smith and the Cowboys. The Green Bay running back found a new, and most painful, way to torment the all-time rushing leader's former team. Jones ran for three touchdowns, Jordan Love threw for three more in his postseason debut, Darnell Savage returned an interception 64 yards for a score and the Packers handed the Cowboys their first home loss since the '22 opener in a 48-32 wild-card stunner Sunday. “This was my dad’s team,” Jones, who shared a moment with Smith before the game and now has 488 yards in four career games against...

The NFL is suspending Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson four games for unnecessary roughness after he was ejected from Sunday’s game for a hit he made on Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave, according to a league statement. VIDEO AT LINK............. “On the play in question, you delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of a defenseless receiver, when you had the time and space to avoid such contact. You could have made contact with your opponent within the rules, yet you chose not to,” NFL Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan told Jackson per the statement....

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers' 2023 season is over before it ever really got started. After the quarterback was injured on his fourth play of the Jets' opening game, head coach Robert Saleh told reporters following the Jets' 22-16 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills that they feared that the four-time NFL MVP tore his Achilles tendon. That is what was ultimately discovered following an MRI on Tuesday, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones reports. "It's not good," Saleh said. The injury will be season-ending. On the Jets' first drive Monday night, Rodgers was injured and helped off the...

What a horrible way to start your era. Historically, the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have one of the best rivalries in the NFL, but in the past four seasons, it’s been nothing but dominance for the Pack. Green Bay is currently on an eight-game winning streak against Chicago, not losing to their rival since September 2019. And in the last 14 games between the teams, the Packers have won 13 of them — brutal. But it gets even worse: Since January 2011, Green Bay has only lost three times to the Bears. Well, Packers quarterback Jordan Love is...

Aaron Rodgers to Vegas? I can dig it. Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is waiting to see who his quarterback will be in 2023, and he suggested on Twitter that that quarterback could be Aaron Rodgers — and they could be living in the same neighborhood as well. Adams was taking questions on Twitter when one user asked, “Which neighborhood is @AaronRodgers12 moving to?” referencing the rumors that Rodgers could soon be in Sin City. And Adams didn’t do anything but add fuel to the fire with a simple response. “Mine.” This would make complete sense for the...

In the fourth quarter, the Green Bay Packers player found himself being ejected after he shockingly pushed a Lions trainer who came out to help a hurt player who was on the ground. https://twitter.com/i/status/1612297185298731008

A key figure in Mississippi’s welfare spending scandal has pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges under an arrangement that signals he may be cooperating, according to court records. John Davis directed Mississippi’s welfare agency while it doled out millions of dollars in federal welfare money to projects investigators now say were improper, including a new volleyball facility requested by former NFL quarterback Brett Favre that benefited his daughter. According to court records, Davis agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud and theft — charges that together carry a maximum of 15 years in prison. “At Davis’s direction, (Mississippi’s...

Quarterback for the Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodger has said closures due to COVID throughout 2020 and 2021 destroyed thousands of small businesses in towns across California. Speaking to Bill Maher on his Club Random podcast, out Sunday, Rodgers called out the state's tough COVID-19 rules saying: 'State's going to s*** but I'm hanging on.' Stay-at-home orders forced the closure of bars and restaurants and thousands of other businesses from hair salons to spas. 'I grew up in a small town, very little cases up in Chico, California, but all the small businesses? F***ing gone,' Rodgers lamented. Business capacity limits...

Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy has a monthly column on the team website where he answers questions from fans and shareholders. It generally appears to be softball questions like any fun events planned for the shareholders meeting and the Paul McCartney concert was awesome, but for some reason this month's edition also featured an absolutely wild letter from a shareholder named Marilyn. She does not waste time getting to her point. Via Packers.com: A question from Marilyn, a longtime Packer fan and shareholder: "Out of the 11 players drafted by the Packers in the 2022 NFL Draft...

“When the president of the United States says, ‘This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,’ it’s because him and his constituents, which — I don’t know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking — but I guess he got 81 million votes,” the NFL star told ESPN before his season ended in a playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday. “But when you say stuff like that, and then you have the CDC, which — how do you even trust them — but then they come out and talk about 75%...

San Francisco 49ers defeat Green Bay Packers in the NFC division round 13-10.

So it’s refreshing when a pro athlete like Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers unabashedly states, “I’m an athlete. I’m not an activist.” Rodgers, a Super Bowl winner, three-time Most Valuable Player in the National Football League, and nine-time Pro Bowl selectee, is generally considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has also become a polarizing, controversial figure and a target of the totalitarian left precisely because he doesn’t conform to the woke expectations of our heavily-politicized culture. Last November, Rodgers triggered the left-dominated media after making statements that did not align with the acceptable narrative about...

President Joe Biden singled out a Packers fan in Kentucky on Wednesday, challenging her to get the Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers vaccinated as he toured tornado damage in the state. “Tell that quarterback he’s gotta get the vaccine,” Biden said to a woman wearing a Green Bay Packers hat and a jacket.

He was playing word games. They're the ones spreading "misinformation". The media, scientists and others are outraged at Aaron Rodgers claiming that he was immunized when he hadn’t been vaccinated. He was playing word games; the two are distinct concepts. But now they are accusing him of the sin of spreading misinformation. Scientists Fight a New Source of Vaccine Misinformation: Aaron Rodgers I missed the consternation when WHO lied to the World in January 2020 that COVID wouldn’t spread person to person. How many died or got sick because of that lie to cover up for China? Biden renewed their...

It won’t take long for the Aaron Rodgers controversy to be forgotten. The future Hall of Famer committed the “sins” of not publicly disclosing his unvaxxed status before testing positive with Covid-19, then going after the “woke mob” that has targeted him ever since. Compared to the plethora of violent criminals who seem to invariably get a pass because they can catch the football or make a tackle, the Rodgers scandal is mild. One of his long-time sponsors, State Farm, issued a statement of acknowledgement. They offered lukewarm support for his right to choose but otherwise embraced the universal vaccination...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers using the word “woke” was “despicable and dismissive.” During a recent interview, Roger said, “I realize I’m in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now. I didn’t lie in the initial press conference. During that time, it was a very, you know, witch hunt that was going on across the league where everybody in the media was so concerned about who was vaccinated and who wasn’t, and what that meant, and who was being selfish, and who would talk about it....

In today's society, or at least within sports media, not being truthful about your vaccination status is worse than actually killing someone. You think I'm being hyperbolic, right? Tell that to Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers superstar quarterback. Rodgers tried to execute a play-action vax, and now he's in major trouble for his incomplete vax. According to veteran NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, Rodgers "received homeopathic treatment from his personal doctor to raise his antibody levels and asked the NFL to review his status. The NFL, NFLPA and joint docs ruled him as unvaccinated. Now, he has COVID-19." The reaction...

Aaron Rodgers won't be on the field when the Green Bay Packers take on the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. The reigning league MVP has tested positive for COVID-19, per CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora, shortly after practice squad quarterback Kurt Benkert was also placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list with a positive test. That leaves Jordan Love as the only other quarterback on the Packers roster and guarantees he'll get the start against Patrick Mahomes and Co. in Week 9.
