We’ve intrupted your regularly scheduled preview for this take down of the A A Ron interview with Pat McAfee. I’m normally a pretty easy going guy, and you do you kind of person, but this whole Rodgers thing really grinds my gears. So here’s a FJM take down of the interview.

On the NFL Vaccination Policy
Pat McAfee: (00:00)
… Like what we have been able to, I don’t want to say build with you in your incredible, just how nice you are with your time with us every single Tuesday. People have learned a lot about you through this show, and I’m very thankful for that. Every Tuesday, I think a lot of thoughts were potentially changed about you. People that once thought something about you changed after hearing you speak. So whenever all this information came out, there was a lot of haters out there, obviously, that immediately started burying you, but there was a lot of people that listen to you on Tuesdays that say, “Hey, he’s actually an incredibly deep person, an incredibly intelligent person, somebody that you would actually like. There has to be re reasons for everything that we’re hearing about right now.” So I appreciate you so much for this incredible honor that we have to potentially allow you to have a platform and a floor to explain your side of this whole thing, and I can’t wait to hear it. We’re incredibly lucky for it. The floor is yours, Mr. Rodgers.

Fuck you Pat for giving him the floor to say whatever without any questions.

Aaron Rodgers: (01:00)
Thank you, buddy.

Pat McAfee: (01:03)
Good water drink. It’s going to be long.

we’re going to need something alot fucking stronger than water for the BS we’re about to hear. Buckle up kids

Aaron Rodgers: (01:06)
I realize I’m in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now.

wahhh. Actions or lack of action and words have consequences and this is one of the few times in your privileged life that this has happened to you

So before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket, I think I’d like to set the record straight on so many of the blatant lies that are out there about myself right now. And I appreciate the opportunity to tell my side of the story on here. First of all, I didn’t lie in the initial press conference.

You didn’t lie, you omitted and danced around the truth. You knew exactly what they were asking and yet didn’t answer what they asked. Same thing.

During that time, it was a very witch hunt

tell me your misogynistic without saying you’re misogynistic. Also you’re comparing people, mainly women, being killed for some made up reason to the media asking you questions about something that’s on everyone’s mind. Fuck you

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

winner winner, chicken dinner, also you

and who would talk about it and what it meant if they said it’s a personal decision, they shouldn’t have to disclose their own medical information and whatnot.

You play a fucking sport that shouldn’t be played during a pandemic at all while unvaccinated and are still complaing about it. Also, you’re a roll model, somehow, so what you do or don’t do sways people’s opinions. It’s not just about you

Aaron Rodgers: (01:51)
And at the time, my plan was to say that I’ve been immunized.

But you weren’t. Also immunzied doesn’t mean anything. It’s like saying the Houston has a football team

It wasn’t some sort of ruse or lie. It was the truth.

Buzzz, wrong times three here.

And I’ll get into whole immunization in a second. Had there been a follow up to my statement that I’ve been immunized, I would’ve responded with this. I would’ve said, “Look, I’m not some sort of anti-vax flat Earther.

But you ARE anti-vax. Jury’s still out on the flat earth thing, but at this point wouldn’t be shocked

I am somebody who’s a critical thinker.

Nope, or you would have got the vaccine.

You guys know me. I march to the beat of my own drum.

you mean “beat to my own dumb”.

I believe strongly in bodily autonomy and the ability to make choices for your body, not to have to acquiesce to some woke culture or crazed group of individuals who say you have to do something. Health is not a one size fits all for everybody.

Right, but what about being a good citizen and helping the greater good? The greater good [obligatory] and this says it better than I

1/ What makes me so mad about the Aaron Rodgers stuff – and there are buckets and buckets of things to be mad about – are the things he didn't say. I heard zero mention of the 750,000 American souls who have died from this virus, a number bolstered by people like himself who…

And for me, it involved a lot of study in the off season, much like the study I put into hosting Jeopardy or the weekly study I put into plan in the game.

Aaron Rodgers: (02:59)
I put a lot of time and energy and research and met with a lot of different people in the medical field to get the most information about the vaccines before making a decision.

aka 5 minutes on FB on the toilet one morning, but obviously not someone that understands these viruses or how vaccines work. So, Dr Nick? I know, it’s the same doctor that clears everyone from the concussion protocol list.

And in actuality, it was pretty easy in the beginning to eliminate two of them, and it didn’t involve going into the questionable history of some of their criminal activities and fraud cases or any of that stuff.

WTF? not sure what he’s referencing here and like him not going to look into it more

It was simply the fact that I have an allergy to an ingredient that’s in the mRNA vaccines. So on the CDC’s own website, it says, “Should you have an allergy to any of the ingredients, you should not get one of the mRNA vaccines.” So those two are already. So my only option was Johnson & Johnson. At this time in the early spring, I had heard of multiple people who had adverse events around getting the J&J.

Even with an allergy to the ingredient, you can still get the vaccine. And if this was the case, then how were you “immunzied” without getting a vaccine? Also the chances of the adverse affects are fucking tiny. Like Favre’s dick tiny. And, if you truly were allergic the ingredient in the vaccine you would have asked for a medical exemption, but you didn’t as this is a BS excuse.

Aaron Rodgers: (03:51)
No deaths or anything, but just some really difficult times and physical abnormalities around the J&J shot.

still better than getting Covid

And then in mid-April, the J&J shot got pulled for clotting issues, if you remember that.

Note that if you do get the covids, the clotting is much, much worse that whatever clotting might happen from the vaccine, but if you’d done any research you would have known that. and the chances of that happening are as good as the Jets winning the SB this year.

So the J&J shot was not even an option at that point. So then my options became, “Okay, what can I do to protect myself and my teammates if there’s not one of the big three options for me in my own body?” And so I looked into and talked, again, to a lot of medical individuals and professionals

again, no you didn’t or you would have got the shot to protect your teammates

and found that there was an immunization protocol that I could go to,

and how did you’re stupid protocol work out?

to best protect myself and my teammates. And it was a long term protocol that involved multiple months. I’m very proud of the research that went into that and the individuals that I met with and we felt like it was what was best for me.

I’m gonna guess the protocol is no strawberries and lots of nano-bubbles. And prob some water that was near some goopy type healing crystals shit. Also you’re saying that you know more than all the people that have spent their life studying these diseases and what they said is wrong. That’s like me saying “I’ve played Madden a few times, I could run an offence”. Be right back, the Giants are calling me.

Aaron Rodgers: (04:54)
It was not, again, something that the league didn’t know about. The league was fully aware of it upon my return to the Packers. And it was at that point that I petitioned them to accept my immunization status as under their vaccination protocol. Now, at the time, they had only had the big three was what they’re going to do. And if you weren’t in the vaccinated category, you were in a different category, which involved some draconian measures and protocols

you mean normal preventative things that everyone else does even if vaccinated. *wanking motion* Christ on cracker, don’t make me side with the NFL brass here.

that you would have to adhere to, which, in my opinion, were not based on science,

so big mask, big testing and big pharm are behind this? Fuck off. This is also rich as you don’t believe in science. Or just not science that’s not convenient for you and your fucked up beliefs. And again, this is you saying you know moar than all those folks that do this full time. Also, what’s your degree in? Too lazy to look it up. but know it’s not anything to do with science

were more based in a shame-based environment to try and get as many guys to get vaccinated as possible

I’m good with whatever it takes to get people to get a vaccine, so “go NFL go” for once. Wow, I feel dirty after saying that. And what about being a good teammate and not spreading the virus. We all know you have no family to share it with, so that’s a win for not spreading the virus.

so that the league looks better to the rest of the world. That was the focus of these protocols, which I’ll get into when I finish this diatribe here.

On Speaking to Joe Rogan, Ivermectin
Aaron Rodgers: (00:00)
I’m 48 hours in. I consulted with a now good friend of mine, Joe Rogan, after he got COVID.

fuck, if you’re asking Joe Rogan for any advice other than how to get out of a kimura, you’re doing it wrong. Also fuck you Spotify for not letting me block Joe Rogan from your lists

I’ve been doing a lot of the stuff that he recommended in his podcasts and on the phone to me. I’m going to have the best immunity possible now,

Nope, not true. You are covered for whatever version of the Covid you did have but not for other flavoUrs of Covid. The vaccines have much better coverage. That’s why the vaccine has worked well again Original Flavour Covid, Alpha and Delta. Think prevent defense and not cover 0 like you were running. Again if you’d done any research you would know this. Oh and you could have got the vaccine at any time, as the information and science changes, but you’re going to die on this hill, aren’t you

based on the 2.5 million person study from Israel that people who get COVID and recover have the most robust immunity. I’m thankful for people like Joe stepping up and using their voice, I’m thankful for my medical squad,

so dirt eating gf, some random ass FB anti-vaxx group or three, Joe Rogan and some friend of a friend that knows a guy that had it? I’m assuming and willing to bet no actual doctor or medical professional was consulted here.

and I’m thankful for all the love and support I’ve gotten, but I’ve been taking monoclonal antibodies,

THIS. This is what saved your fucking anti-vaxx ass. It also is NOT FDA approved (love the irony of this) unlike the vaccine and costs like $100k per dose, but whatever, but let’s talk about the other crap that you took to “fix it”.

ivermectin,

see. fucking horse de-wormer. That has been repeatedly not shown to do anything for Covid. EVEN the fucking company that makes it says so. But follow the science, right? Fuck right off. I hope you shit your pants every few hours because of this stuff. For all of eternity.

zinc, vitamin C and DHCQ,

fuck this shit again? More unproven BS but this makes sense with the rest of the above. Surprised that eating dirt like his gf does for “cleansing” isn’t in this list. You know what else kills the virus? Bleach, but you didn’t take it. Why?
And when starting this take-down, I thought that I might get a few rows filled on my anti-vaxx Bingo card, but never did I think I will fill my card.

and I feel pretty incredible.

except that you have covid toe (wtf) now and can’t run. And may need surgery. It’s really bad when I cannot figure out which GB QB is worse, Farve or Fraugders. Umm, both. Fully on #TeamComet here to hit them both.
Fuck, I’m too old to keep this up.

---

So, the Packers are 9-3 and probably gonna win the NFC North. They were in first and looking at a first round bye but the loss to Minny (hahaha SKOL) have dropped them to second in the NFC. So thinking they win 3 of the 4 final games (Bears at home, away to Ravens, Browns and Vikings at home to close off the regular season). Figure they squeak through the first round and get blown out on the road. Again. Also most of the o-line is hurt, which is never good.

And this was to be the “last dance” year or whatever with Rodgers and Adams, at this point, I’m fucking good with Rodgers leaving and getting some snacks in return for him.
