they'll report this and call Rodgers an A-hole, but leave out all the good things he does.

To be fair, you can expand this claim to "reporting" more generally.

These days, reporting is done on events / actions / stories that are based on something bad. Rarely is the nature of reporting based on something good happening.

It is the nature of the beast, I suppose. Hard to criticize writers for that, IMO.

But in claiming Aaron needs to understand where his money comes from, I think it is a shortcoming that they did not even seemingly do any research on some of the things Aaron has done for fans.

I can "see" how someone could be a fan, then stop, but not if they're covering the team's overall sport.

I've mentioned my desire to be a writer for the Packers, but I could never be a writer for any other team, which is why I'll never live out that dream. Being a scout, or anything related to the Packers that required me dedicating my time to the Packers success would be the dream of a life time for me.

It just can't happen because that's an impossible dream. My luck, I'd get a degree in journalism or whatever and get a job with the Vikings. My efforts would be two-fold, one Vikings, two Packers, lol.

Anyhow, you should trust me. I don't say things for the sake of saying them, you should know this by now that when I say something, its because it's true. 🙂

How about.. before passing judgment.. allowing Rodgers to respond.

As classy as the guy as been throughout his brief career.. I would imagine that he will right and perceived wrong.

PFTalk will reach occasionally to stir a story.. with or without facts. See Terry Bradshaw. lol.

Said person was a fan of a pro-sport team since growing up, and flat out stated that covering the team as a grown up made him lose all interest / passion he once had. He said having access to the inner workings of the team and realizing so much of the BS and nonsensical stuff that goes on (both amongst players and those higher in the ranks) makes you fall out of love pretty quick. He actually went as far as to say that any team he did root for, he wanted no part ever in covering.

Kind of like how being in the military caused me to lose any vestige of respect I ever had for it.

It gets on my nerves the way I'm still a sucker for the "brotherhood and camaraderie" of military-themed movies, for example, because I know what the day-to-day life is actually like.

Oh, I trust what you write is not based on fabrication.

I just wanted to be pointed out to the thing that led people to imply he was still a Vikings fan.

Not a fan of this BS reporting... they needed to fill a space while casting some negative light on Rodgers for what was almost surely a misunderstanding... Horseshit

All seriousness aside, it's safe to say any asshole you find, must be a Vikings fan.

Tom Pelissero did a good job of reporting for the Pack, whilst being secretly a Queens fan. Or presumably one, since he was from the Cities, and jumped ship to go back there when the opportunity arose. Kevin Seiffert is the biggest puke in journalism. Up until now, I've never known Florio to be overtly biased. Except for a time or two when I've seen him favor the Steelers.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent
