I stopped watching a few years ago, never a big fan of any sport for that matter.

But I am reminded that the Vikings got a new billion dollar playhouse when I opened my property tax estimate here in Hennepin County and it went up 6.9%.

Of course we recently built a new playhouse for the Twins, the Saints, the Gopher football team and now they are building a new kickball stadium so everyone can have a new place. Screw em. Just a bunch of overpaid dickheads.

McCarthy had to go and it was probably a few years too late, but watching Rodgers now all these years he had a bad habits that were becoming a lot more commonplace. Held the ball too long for a few years, has had happy feet and terrible mechanics especially with his feet this year and has consistently refused to hit the checkdiwns when available.

McCarthy has to go but Rodgers assisted in making sure it happened.

The recent si piece is basically a rehash of thoughts plenty of people here in Wisconsin have been quietly grumbling about.

Will be very interesting to see if a new coach will be able to get Rodgers to break some real bad habits and make some other necessary changes. .

Yeah, the kneeling did it. I call myself a reasonable guy, maybe I’m not, who knows, but now I just hope they all die.

When the got rid of Jordy Nelson, I then sensed that the new Packer management had been promoted way above their level of competence.

He was a good to decent coach in the early years, but he’s just become more and more one dimensional as the years have gone on.

It’s like he uses the same few play calls every game.

I bet Rodgers can give you a great “discount double check” though.

He can come over here and lick my beagle’s n&*s.

He’d probably be more at home servicing Kapernick, however.

If jordy was doing anything with the raiders I’d agree, but he’s not. Packers have been in a bad habit of keeping players a year too long and finally broke that habit with jordy. Should have done it with Cobb too.

They’re hoping for a soft rebuild with a last place schedule next year.

Lots of holes to fill!!

I lost respect for Rodgers when he asked fans to lock arms in support of protesting players rather than putting his hand on his heart for the National Anthem.

I was at the the hospital today and the Houston Texans game was on in the lounge. I heard the announcer say there would be a moment of silence for 41. Then he said all hats will be removed and hands will be on hearts for the anthem. I wonder if the dickhead players still did the kneeling thing.

Kneelers are too illiterate and/or stoned on crack to know about 41. See the American flag, however, and they drop to their knees ready to tongue bath Obama’s muslim bits.

The packers hired a new GM at the beginning of this season. The old guy needed to be fired and was quietly asked to leave.

I lost respect for Rodgers and the nfl when they embraced the kneeling disrespect of the USA...

Defending the kneelers was it for me too!

Does he still have that girl friend that separated him from his parents and siblings? Wonder if she’s the one who told him to support the kneelers like sack-or-pick’s gf.

Trade him. Get rid of him and several others. Rodgers needed to keep his GD mouth shut last year with the protest thing and after he got rolled by the bimbo he was running with, he has not been the same since.

The man is trouble.

I’ve noticed you’re prone to grotesque exaggerations.

He had a very long run and had some very good seasons.

Maybe someone ought to be worried about the moron(s) who gave Rogers $33,000,000.00/year. NOBODY is worth that kind of money!!
