Typical 2016 Bird's loss.

[tinopuno]

A talent challenged team, especially on offense, failing to overcome:

- the worst collection of outside Eagles receivers, also including the laughable Zach Ertz, I've seen in almost 60 years.
- an injury/suspension riddled offensive line previously laid waste by 3 years of The Arrogant Asshole Kelly
- undisciplined play on both sides of the ball including absolutely bone head mistakes at the worst possible moment
- a rookie head coach who has done some good things but who also has too often looked out of his depth if not down right stupid
- officiating that has repeatedly favored the established NFL opponent over the young upstart Eagles


Apropos of that last observation, is does provide some comfort to note that our opponent tonight, NFL football royalty that gets favored officiating in almost every game they play, has been in the playoffs for the last 7 straight years but has also lost their first playoff game in the last 4 straight years.

So in closing,

Fuck You... Aaron Rogers, you arrogant cocksucker. (No disrespect intended to humble cocksuckers everywhere.)

Good night

Ditto when it comes to Rodgers.

A few blurbs from a book on the strained relationship between Farve (God) and Rodgers.


.“Very cocky, very arrogant,” said Nall. “That’s how he came off. Like a rookie who knew everything.”

“Somebody must have told Aaron he was brought in to replace Brett, because that’s how he acted,” said Najeh Davenport, the veteran running back. “Maybe his agent or someone convinced him he was important, but he walked around like he was the next best thing.”

Many of the Packers participated in a summer charity softball game in nearby Appleton. In his first at bat, Rodgers clubbed a home run and skipped and hopped around the bases. “He was jumping on the heels of the guy in front of him,” said Ben Steele, a Packer tight end. “You could tell the guys were not happy. They expected him to be shy and quiet and not try to outshine Brett Favre, the legend. It bothered me. It bothered a lot of us.”


Rodgers liked to brag about the 35 he scored on the Wonderlic, a test used by NFL teams to assess the aptitude of prospective employees. One day in a quarterbacks meeting he said, “Brett, what did you get on it?”

“I have no idea,” he replied.

“I do,” Rodgers said. “I looked it up. You got a 22.”

When the meeting concluded, Rodgers exited the room first, followed by Darrell Bevell, the quarterbacks coach, then Favre and Nall. “Fucking Wonderlic score,” Favre mumbled. “Do you believe that shit? I run circles around his ass.”

Rodgers made it a point to sit in the front row of team meetings, and raise his hand to answer every question from the coaches. He was smart and studious, and it all went over like a bowl of maggot-coated Fruit Loops. Eventually, Driver, the veteran receiver and Favre’s close friend, pulled the youngster aside and said, bluntly, “Aaron, we get it. You’re smart. Now shut the fuck up.”

These stories can go on and on. Aaron Rodgers is the biggest prick in the NFL.

Still love Rodgers' girlfriend!

I'm not surprised. You can see it all over him.I never could stand the asshole.

[stocknowledge]

We'd love him if he was playing in midnight green.

[andrewaters]

I take Rodgers over 5 different Favres any day.

You sure have a point there Stock. I hear things aren't so rosy up in GB though as everybody is at odds with each other. Putting it all together for Monday Night Football is one thing when everyone is all juiced up because the whole league is watching, but afterwards going back to work to work in an unhealthy atmosphere doesn't make for a win out mentality that they have to achieve to make the playoffs. I'll bet they go back to their sub performance selves Sunday.

Stock,

Olivia Munn is a good looking woman...no doubt about that. Turns out she's also reportedly a snotty, condescending bitch. (Good match for Rogers).

I googled her name last night and, for the hell of it, included the word 'bitch'. Interesting results. No one has much good to say about Ms Munn. Very, very round heels, especially when it comes to men who could possibly advance her career. A real suck up, figuratively and literally.

But that doesn't make her any different than lots of attractive young women trying to get ahead in Hollywood...any probably some young men as well.

What I found distasteful were repeated allegations that she generally treats the 'little people' in the industry with contempt. To me that says more about her than stories of her round heels.

I agree with that and always thought Favre was a prick for blatantly distancing himself from the rookie.
Turns out, as Pliny relates earlier in this thread, Rogers may well have been the bigger asshole in the relationship.
And that's saying something when it comes to the remarkably self absorbed Favre.

[MDFAN]

Please none of us knows THAT much about these athletes personal side. We depend on the media--- nuff said.

I like A-Rod as a QB, I don't care about A-Rod as a person (except his commercials are ok, not Peyton quality but ok)
