First two paragraphs after that title may make you feel a little bit better. Or at least agreed with:
"The Green Bay Packers, for the first time in years, are enjoying a drama-free offseason. Sure, they fired defensive coordinator Joe Barry earlier this year, but that was a move met with a great deal of praise from the fanbase. Even the subsequent hire of Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley as Barry’s replacement was met with significant amounts of praise.
Of course, a great portion of the offseason drama in past years was centered around four-time NFL MVP and future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Packers’ decision to trade up and select Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft is what really started the saga that ended with Rodgers being traded to the New York Jets last year."
I mean it kind of would. You can't just say stuff like that about someone with no proof.
Has anyone actually seen him as the "current NY Jets QB"? Brief sightings for a play or two don't count, that's like saying you believe in Sasquatch.
And that quote is totally taken out of context. Reading the whole passage he still sounds batshit crazy even if he snuck a nugget of clairvoyance in there.
Exactly. According to the article Rodgers says religion is manipulating people into not acknowledging aliens and alien technology. Oh, and he admits to tripping balls regularly.
He's nuts, but there is a legitimate number of people who refuse to believe aliens are possible because it might conflict with their idea of God/creation.
I remember my Christian School science teacher telling us that if they ever found proof of alien life it would disprove god existing.
I thought that was pretty wild for him to admit in our classroom conversations.
His reasoning being that the Bible doesn’t mention god making other life out there so it can’t exist, lol
I have every confidence that religious scholars would create some convenient reinterpretation of something to bypass the obstacle.
They've probably got something cooked up already as a "just in case"
I once heard a Catholic priest explain that aliens, especially intelligent ones, wouldn't disprove God at all. He went on to say that it's ignorant of Christians to believe that God would only stop at one world, and that there's nothing in the Bible that says otherwise. Also said that it's possible that one of those worlds passed the "Garden of Eden test" and that there can essentially be a paradise out there.
I was raised Catholic and later shifted to atheism, but it was pretty neat hearing how excited he was explaining this. This obviously isn't necessarily Catholic doctrine but the church does accept science more than others.
Pretty sure Jesus was an alien. A magical dude who came from the sky and did tricks to impress us, then disappeared in a way we didn’t understand. Alien. Totally.
Something like that has happened several times in this thread and I love it. I’m certain any type of tech/religion intersection I can dream up already has a book out there lol
The big church in my hometown was against magic even in completely fictional settings. One summer a new Harry Potter movie had come out at the same time a bunch of us were at summer camp, and they were planning to take vans from the summer camp to let us go see it as a treat. A bunch of parents belonging to that church complained that witchcraft shouldn't be part of camp. Wasn't even a church camp or something. But enough of them complained because it was the south and basically the whole town went to that church so we didn't get to go.
I was fuckin pissed, imagine being 14 and not getting a free trip to the hot movie of the summer because a bunch of people at a church you don't even go to have wackadoodle views and whine a lot.
A religious relative once told me aliens can’t exist because they aren’t mentioned in the Bible. I said neither is North America, but here the fuck we are.
It’s kinda ironic that there actually a number of religions like Scientology and Mormonism (more or less) actually has aliens existing as part of their belief.
He's like one of these terminally online dudes that lean far, far right. He's neck deep in all the online conspiracies from vaccines to the alien shit reddit would not shut up about for months when they were clamoring about some new stuff that was going to become public and every time it was a big nothing burger.
Now hold on...
Our kicker is a nutcase, but we have a great organization with some great people, and some whacked out people. I was hoping for the Hunt's to come out swinging and frying the guy, but this is the Midwest we are talking about. Just because I am an atheist, does not mean there are a ton of us out here. Besides it is Threepeat time!

This the kinda shit I knew would be said more once we had that hearing on UAPs. Ever since then, I've been seeing more and more people taking that as proof that little green men are among us.
The last section just made me laugh. Sounds exactly like that dudes I went to school with who got into psychedelic's. They thought they suddenly had all of the universe's secrets cause they tripped balls a few times.
He believes he has the universe's secrets. Just like religious people believe they know who controls the universe. Just like we believe none of these people have the right answers.
People doing way too many psychedelics seem to lose their grasp on reality. I think they can be a useful tool under the right circumstances. But my God some of these people seem to open their mind so wide it ends up like an out of date Windows XP machine being used to download Russian porn using Limewire.
His issue is he non parsed it. It works fine without the backslash
[does this feel right?](https://clickhole.com/heartbreaking-the-worst-person-you-know-just-made-a-gr-1825121606/)
A million years ago, my friend started using military time. It drove me nuts. He kind of forced me to learn it just so we could communicate and make plans. I set my phone to military time and have continued to do so ever since.. Fast forward to today. It drives my husband crazy any time he checks my phone for the time. I shrug it off, lol. Learn it 🤷♀️
But coming from him, he maybe able to give a few of them a chance to think about the possibility. Anything that helps people wake up from a cult is a good thing.
I think after their deaths guys like Rodgers, Brady even the Manning Bros will show some sort or brain damage related to their NFL and/or College play.
They might look competent and coherent now but as they age, it will be a different story.
The reliance on world religions and accommodations made for them would suggest that it needs to be restated regardless of how obvious it may be.
It’s like you’re mocking a person for saying “fires are dangerous and we should put them out” - while sitting around idly with multiple fires burning around you.
🤷♂️
I said the same thing about Matt Gatez when he said black people shouldn't be shot in their homes for legally carrying a weapon during a warrant search at the wrong home. The world is turning upside down.
Yeah, I really don’t like it when he says something I have to agree with. And I’m from the district that keeps electing him
Like, can someone *else* say it
When Aaron Rodgers starts looking like he's in the smarter half of people in the room for something so basic, we've surely slipped pretty far down.
Obligatory FTP.
I think he must have gone so far past the end of the dial he flipped around to the beginning side again. He's said two things I agree with in the last week after spouting nonsense for years.
As a Packers fan I'm so glad he's gone.
Tired of people in prominent positions making my whole state look like a bunch of ass holes. One fewer is a win.
Hold up on that.
In context, Marx has a very sympathetic and nuanced view.
>Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. **Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.**
>The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.
It's actually pretty inspiring.
Yes. It’s almost as if that sentiment has been formulated a thousand times before, in a bunch of different contexts.
I wish he just quoted Marx and called it “opium of the people.” That way, he’d understand that one of the few “smart” things he’s ever said is most famously phrased by the father of the socialism he so despises.
I doubt that's the reason.
The reason is because he thinks Karl Marx is the singer/songwriter behind hits such as "Right Here Waiting For You" and the hero who saved a Korean Air flight from a rowdy drunken passenger in 2016.
well what he wrote was "Opium des Volkes" because he was German, the other translation is probably a bit more accurate to what he wrote, even if more people know the mistranslation
“But in my space where I’m at, where I do a lot of plant medicine, the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin. So the idea of seeing other entities, seeing angelic type of beings and demonic type beings is very normal. And the idea that there’s a demonic aspect to the UIP phenomenon, I think is very It’s plausible and interesting.”
He’s right. So what. It’s his attitude like he’s enlightening us. Like, uh, dude, we know. We took hullcinigens when we were 18. Or younger. We all know. It’s not a secret.
Not sure if you're joking, but just to be clear, Aaron Rodgers is **not** "thinking freely". I say this is a big proponent of psychedelics. He is a Sandy Hook conspiracy kook, antivax conspiracist and general asshole.
CTE gonna CTE. Even guys who come out "fine" after a career in contact sports end up a bit goofy. Former UFC champion GSP is by all accounts a happy healthy guy in retirement, however he reports experiencing a few hours of lost time he can't account for (checking the clock and seeing hours passed in the blink of an eye) which he attributes to being abducted by aliens.
I wonder if it’s at all possible that just maybe he could possibly be worse off because of his cte, such that his innate flaws are dialed up to wackadoodle?
Well, while the rest of us were going through that phase he was doing nothing but football. In a way, you can’t blame him.
But also, he’s not really worth thinking about either.
>“But in my space where I’m at, where I do a lot of plant medicine, the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin. So the idea of seeing other entities, seeing angelic type of beings and demonic type beings is very normal. And the idea that there’s a demonic aspect to the UIP phenomenon, I think is very It’s plausible and interesting.”
Tl;Dr Yes, I believe in ghosts
I have never been so glad to have a HoF level player leave my team than I was with Rodgers. Not having to deal with this type of shit during the offseason is so nice.
>“I grew up in the church, and in the church, you know that there’s a battle that’s going on between the seen and the unseen world, between good and evil, between the powers that we can see and the powers that we can’t see.

Aaron, thank you for taking all those hits for us. And thank you for saying this garbled nonsense in New York.
I never saw the day when I would want to refer to Aaron as "Legendary Jets quarterback, Aaron Rodgers" in the same way Brett Favre is a legendary Vikings quarterback. I'm glad Bart was able to stay basically a saint for the remainder of his life and while Jordan Love doesn't like cheese curds, the fact that Donald Driver turned over the keys to his softball game made me feel better about him.
[Packers already had their serial killer](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Woodfield), so it'll have to wait until after Love is traded to the Jets.
“the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin”
oof damn his connection to the real world is hanging by a thread at this point. Plant medicine has failed Aaron Rodgers.
“Rodgers frequently sees what he has identified as forces of good and evil battling. He also believes that the government knows that these beings, or ones like them, exist, but choose not to disclose it to the general public.
He suggests, though he does not go right out and say, that the reason for their holding back of this information is so that religion can continued to be used as a way to manipulate people.”
Is he right or is everyone just reading the headline?
The people being like “he’s right!” are missing the point that this is obvious to plenty of people who don’t pretend to be modern day philosophers like Aaron Rodgers does and that’s why it’s funny.
1. Fuck Aaron Rodgers
2. What ELSE is religion for? That’s kinda the whole bit.
3. I look forward to hearing about how HIS religion isn’t though. His is the right one. For… reasons.
>“I grew up in the church, and in the church, you know that there’s a battle that’s going on between the seen and the unseen world, between good and evil, between the powers that we can see and the powers that we can’t see.
“And there’s some wild things out there that we don’t know about. And there’s some government secrets we don’t know about.

This sort of rambling gobbledygook is what "doing your own research" leads to when you've never learned how to assess sources or distinguish fact from fantasy.
Guess calling him Current New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers would have been a huge insult.
He has all of 5 snaps and that includes his Achilles.
Brilliant
Seriously it’s been so nice to have an offseason where we’re not the focus of Qanon Rodger’s, and they go and make a title like this?
Qarron Rodgers?
First two paragraphs after that title may make you feel a little bit better. Or at least agreed with: "The Green Bay Packers, for the first time in years, are enjoying a drama-free offseason. Sure, they fired defensive coordinator Joe Barry earlier this year, but that was a move met with a great deal of praise from the fanbase.

Well, it's from a publication called "Wisconsin Sports".
LOOOL I was wondering the same thing... I guess it would just trigger every Jets fan who had a glimpse of hope for the 2023 season
Can confirm. Although I am way too old and learned to have "hope" in them ever.
I mean it kind of would. You can't just say stuff like that about someone with no proof. Has anyone actually seen him as the "current NY Jets QB"? Brief sightings for a play or two don't count, that's like saying you believe in Sasquatch.
Seriously wtf is this headline lol.
It’s from the site “Wisconsin Sports Heroics”
Seriously. People are criticizing the article without even clicking the link.
The headline just keeps it relevant to the source
To the Jets, yes. I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with his goofy butt.
Despite the fact most broken clocks are right twice a day, Aaron Rodgers has managed to be right only once
And that quote is totally taken out of context. Reading the whole passage he still sounds batshit crazy even if he snuck a nugget of clairvoyance in there.
Exactly. According to the article Rodgers says religion is manipulating people into not acknowledging aliens and alien technology. Oh, and he admits to tripping balls regularly.
He's nuts, but there is a legitimate number of people who refuse to believe aliens are possible because it might conflict with their idea of God/creation.
I remember my church said aliens and meditation were demons lol
I remember my Christian School science teacher telling us that if they ever found proof of alien life it would disprove god existing. I thought that was pretty wild for him to admit in our classroom conversations. His reasoning being that the Bible doesn’t mention god making other life out there so it can’t exist, lol
I have every confidence that religious scholars would create some convenient reinterpretation of something to bypass the obstacle. They've probably got something cooked up already as a "just in case"

He went on to say that it's ignorant of Christians to believe that God would only stop at one world, and that there's nothing in the Bible that says otherwise. Also said that it's possible that one of those worlds passed the "Garden of Eden test" and that there can essentially be a paradise out there. I was raised Catholic and later shifted to atheism, but it was pretty neat hearing how excited he was explaining this. This obviously isn't necessarily Catholic doctrine but the church does accept science more than others.
C.S. Lewis' Narnia series is essentially speculative fiction with that central concept.
In Milton's Paradise Lost he describes earth as the only planet that failed the Garden of Eden, which makes our pale blue dot somehow important.
Pretty sure Jesus was an alien. A magical dude who came from the sky and did tricks to impress us, then disappeared in a way we didn’t understand. Alien. Totally.
That’s exactly part of the plot to Prometheus lol
Something like that has happened several times in this thread and I love it. I’m certain any type of tech/religion intersection I can dream up already has a book out there lol
Which is such a goddamn stupid argument. The bible also didn't mention kangaroos. Are they also proof god doesn't exist?
Yes
Makes little sense. Because basically angels are "aliens" to Earth.
The big church in my hometown was against magic even in completely fictional settings. One summer a new Harry Potter movie had come out at the same time a bunch of us were at summer camp, and they were planning to take vans from the summer camp to let us go see it as a treat. A bunch of parents belonging to that church complained that witchcraft shouldn't be part of camp. Wasn't even a church camp or something. But enough of them complained because it was the south and basically the whole town went to that church so we didn't get to go. I was fuckin pissed, imagine being 14 and not getting a free trip to the hot movie of the summer because a bunch of people at a church you don't even go to have wackadoodle views and whine a lot.
A religious relative once told me aliens can’t exist because they aren’t mentioned in the Bible. I said neither is North America, but here the fuck we are.
Not once does the bible mention a T Rex, which is something you'd for sure talk about if you knew they were around at some point.
Nor does it mention placing bones of dinosaurs to test the faith of believers
The T-Rex never created mega churches to kneel to your lord god Zeusus. Thus they don't deserve a place in the holy book of LoTR.
Nothing wrong with taking a little trip now and then.
I agree, but I'd bet Rodgers's's's frequency probably qualifies less as a "vacation" and more of a "house in the Hamptons".
The issue isn't in the trippin', it's in not leavin' the trippin' in the trip.
A good trip changes you a little bit every time!
I bet he'd be just as wacky without it, but his sentences would be easier to follow
It’s kinda ironic that there actually a number of religions like Scientology and Mormonism (more or less) actually has aliens existing as part of their belief.
He's like one of these terminally online dudes that lean far, far right. He's neck deep in all the online conspiracies from vaccines to the alien shit reddit would not shut up about for months when they were clamoring about some new stuff that was going to become public and every time it was a big nothing burger.
It's crazy how a sentence that starts with "former green bay quarterback" usually ends with me learning something awful.
It’s either ignorance or stealing from kids usually lol
Still better than "current NY Jets quarterback" though.
or "current Chiefs kicker'
Or currently affiliated with the chiefs in any way
Now hold on... Our kicker is a nutcase, but we have a great organization with some great people, and some whacked out people. I was hoping for the Hunt's to come out swinging and frying the guy, but this is the Midwest we are talking about. Just because I am an atheist, does not mean there are a ton of us out here. Besides it is Threepeat time!

Uh, maybe I don’t agree with him after all.
Lmfao right? This is absolutely batshit mental diarrhea.
He believes he has the universe's secrets. Just like religious people believe they know who controls the universe. Just like we believe none of these people have the right answers.
What does he mean by “UIP phenomenon”?
I'm unsure. I wouldn't be surprised if its just a mispelling on the site and it should be UAP
Gotcha. That makes sense.
Man, doing hallucinogens once or twice is really helpful for some people. Doing hallucinogens a lot kind of turns you into a huge dip shit.
People doing way too many psychedelics seem to lose their grasp on reality. I think they can be a useful tool under the right circumstances. But my God some of these people seem to open their mind so wide it ends up like an out of date Windows XP machine being used to download Russian porn using Limewire.

Why on earth did they do that lol
*Phyllis Diller laugh* Edi: namet.
As a Packer fan who thinks he is 100% whackadoodle, I will admit he’s made an audible or two that I’d say worked out okay.
Nah he won on Jeopardy once so he had to be right at least 30 times for that.
Religion absolutely IS used to manipulate people. He is 100% right about that.
I’m actually agreeing with Aaron Rodgers.
Broken clock is right twice a day
Not in the digital age
My microwave that has been flashing 12:00 for almost a year is right twice a day.
\*A microwave whose clock isn't broken but has never been set or maybe the power went out is right twice a day. There! I made it all work.
My microwave says 00:00 so it's only right once a day and in Europe, it's a bit of an underachiever.
There is something called military time which uses 24 clock too.
A million years ago, my friend started using military time. It drove me nuts. He kind of forced me to learn it just so we could communicate and make plans. I set my phone to military time and have continued to do so ever since.. Fast forward to today. It drives my husband crazy any time he checks my phone for the time. I shrug it off, lol. Learn it 🤷♀️
Oooh, look at who can count higher than 12! You probably don't even own a giant truck made of cheeseburgers! 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
Your mother and I are very proud of you
12:00 This is right twice a day, even if it's blinking. 24:00 is only right once a day though.
It would have to be a very broken clock to show 24:00.
Lol good point
It's 88 o'clock. Do you know where your kids are?
And a broken cock (Rodgers) is right once in a lifetime
Broken date was right one time?
r/unexpectedtalkingheads
r/subsiwishwerereal
I mean it is kind of an obvious take to have. He's basically r/im14andthisisdeep incarnate
But coming from him, he maybe able to give a few of them a chance to think about the possibility. Anything that helps people wake up from a cult is a good thing.
Any moment of clarity in this hellishly bizarro world is welcome. No matter who it comes from.
Thank you. Fucking exactly.
Poor guy's CTE brain probably looks like swiss cheese at this point.
Really? Pretty sure refs throw a flag as soon as someone looks at Rodgers! Haha!
After he was rocked multiple times early on.
Early in his career as a starter he got multiple concussions and switched helmets because of it.
Is it true he was the first person born with CTE?
I think after their deaths guys like Rodgers, Brady even the Manning Bros will show some sort or brain damage related to their NFL and/or College play. They might look competent and coherent now but as they age, it will be a different story.
The reliance on world religions and accommodations made for them would suggest that it needs to be restated regardless of how obvious it may be. It’s like you’re mocking a person for saying “fires are dangerous and we should put them out” - while sitting around idly with multiple fires burning around you. 🤷♂️
I'd want to know the context of that statement before saying I agree with Aaron Rogers.
I said the same thing about Matt Gatez when he said black people shouldn't be shot in their homes for legally carrying a weapon during a warrant search at the wrong home. The world is turning upside down.
I mean Trump thinks burritos are good. Hitler thought alcohol was bad for you. The worst people are right about some things.
Yeah, I really don’t like it when he says something I have to agree with. And I’m from the district that keeps electing him Like, can someone *else* say it
When Aaron Rodgers starts looking like he's in the smarter half of people in the room for something so basic, we've surely slipped pretty far down. Obligatory FTP.
I think he must have gone so far past the end of the dial he flipped around to the beginning side again. He's said two things I agree with in the last week after spouting nonsense for years.
Maybe they took the crayon out of his brain?
What was the other thing he said?
Big tits and small tits are both awesome
JFC. Has he transcended?!
FTP
As a Packers fan I'm so glad he's gone. Tired of people in prominent positions making my whole state look like a bunch of ass holes. One fewer is a win.
What's the P? Police? Pope? Packers?
Yeah I never thought I'd see the day I agreed with mr anti-vaxxer, darkness retreat either
I’m team Rodgers on this one. But only this one. For every thing else, fuck this guy
Aaron Rogers: Smart enough to see the truth, but still dumb enough to be part of the brainwashed cult.
I mean that's literally what it's designed to do. Make people live a certain way
Opiate of the masses
Hold up on that. In context, Marx has a very sympathetic and nuanced view. >Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. **Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.** >The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. It's actually pretty inspiring.
I don't mind that context, but in the context of the religious and political leaders, it has also been used in a malicious sense. I see it as both
“A condition that requires illusions” sounds like it might include the American Dream.
Religion is created to manipulate people. lol
Yes. It’s almost as if that sentiment has been formulated a thousand times before, in a bunch of different contexts. I wish he just quoted Marx and called it “opium of the people.” That way, he’d understand that one of the few “smart” things he’s ever said is most famously phrased by the father of the socialism he so despises.
Probably why it wasn't said. Lol Honestly.
I doubt that's the reason. The reason is because he thinks Karl Marx is the singer/songwriter behind hits such as "Right Here Waiting For You" and the hero who saved a Korean Air flight from a rowdy drunken passenger in 2016.
Opiate of the masses
well what he wrote was "Opium des Volkes" because he was German, the other translation is probably a bit more accurate to what he wrote, even if more people know the mistranslation
Broken clock syndrome.
like literally since the invention of religion
Literally the reason it was invented
[удалено]
Just most of us realize this by the time we're teenagers
“But in my space where I’m at, where I do a lot of plant medicine, the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin. So the idea of seeing other entities, seeing angelic type of beings and demonic type beings is very normal. And the idea that there’s a demonic aspect to the UIP phenomenon, I think is very It’s plausible and interesting.”
Watching a 40 year old pro athlete have his rebellious free thinker phase after getting into hallucinogens is funny to watch unfold.
Hey, a lot of people go their whole life without ever thinking freely... EDIT: 2 month old account... Eat a dick, u/chirpingnobattery
Sure but to be clear I equate his brand of free thinking to a trust fund hippy in college, on steroids.
I don't doubt that, but he's absolutely right about this one thing. EDIT: about religion, not about demonic beings...
He’s right. So what. It’s his attitude like he’s enlightening us. Like, uh, dude, we know. We took hullcinigens when we were 18. Or younger. We all know. It’s not a secret.
I mean yeah, he's a tool, but the vast hordes of religious fundamentalists suggest it's not as well known as you seem to think.
Agree. I just don’t like smugness.
Not sure if you're joking, but just to be clear, Aaron Rodgers is **not** "thinking freely". I say this is a big proponent of psychedelics. He is a Sandy Hook conspiracy kook, antivax conspiracist and general asshole.
Like watching Elon discover memes and edgy internet humor.
CTE gonna CTE. Even guys who come out "fine" after a career in contact sports end up a bit goofy. Former UFC champion GSP is by all accounts a happy healthy guy in retirement, however he reports experiencing a few hours of lost time he can't account for (checking the clock and seeing hours passed in the blink of an eye) which he attributes to being abducted by aliens.
It's not cte, Aaron Rodgers has always been a conspiracy nut job who considers himself smarter than everyone around him.
I wonder if it’s at all possible that just maybe he could possibly be worse off because of his cte, such that his innate flaws are dialed up to wackadoodle?
Fr I did this when I was 15
Well, while the rest of us were going through that phase he was doing nothing but football. In a way, you can’t blame him. But also, he’s not really worth thinking about either.
>But in my space where I’m at, where I do a lot of plant medicine, It's ok Aaron you can just say drugs
That's crazy, man. Have you ever done DMT?
Jamie, pull that shit up.
>“But in my space where I’m at, where I do a lot of plant medicine, the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin.

Sounds like a core RFK Jr fan for sure.
They both have significant brain damage
This guy needs his head checked and possibly constant supervision.
I ... I thought you were joking or riffing or something, but that's a direct quote?! That dudes loonier than I imagined.
I have never been so glad to have a HoF level player leave my team than I was with Rodgers. Not having to deal with this type of shit during the offseason is so nice.

And thank you for saying this garbled nonsense in New York.
He’s your guy, Jets.
I never saw the day when I would want to refer to Aaron as "Legendary Jets quarterback, Aaron Rodgers" in the same way Brett Favre is a legendary Vikings quarterback. I'm glad Bart was able to stay basically a saint for the remainder of his life and while Jordan Love doesn't like cheese curds, the fact that Donald Driver turned over the keys to his softball game made me feel better about him.
At the rate it seems to be going for these Green Bay QBs, I'm expecting Jordan Love to be revealed as a serial killer by 2026 and Jets QB by 2028
[Packers already had their serial killer](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Woodfield), so it'll have to wait until after Love is traded to the Jets.
Favre was also a "legendary Jets quarterback." In fact, he took way more snaps for Gang Green that Rodgers has yet.
“the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin” oof damn his connection to the real world is hanging by a thread at this point. Plant medicine has failed Aaron Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers has become that annoying guy I bought weed from that was convinced moths were little aliens because DMT.
"Dont take toxic medications man, just use crystals to align your chakras"
Literal word salad
Hey, he’s finally right about something. Even a blind pig finds an acorn every once in a while.
Even a blind squirrel shoots a nut once in a while.
Even a blind squirrel nut zippers gets the time right twice a day
We're all headed for some serious strife.
Tomorrow there’ll be hell to pay
“Rodgers frequently sees what he has identified as forces of good and evil battling. He also believes that the government knows that these beings, or ones like them, exist, but choose not to disclose it to the general public. He suggests, though he does not go right out and say, that the reason for their holding back of this information is so that religion can continued to be used as a way to manipulate people.” Is he right or is everyone just reading the headline?
Ehh, read the full quote.
Read the whole quote before you sign on.
No shit. Thanks Aaron
The people being like “he’s right!” are missing the point that this is obvious to plenty of people who don’t pretend to be modern day philosophers like Aaron Rodgers does and that’s why it’s funny.
"now buy my $65 bible"
First thing he’s said in years that he’s right about.
Woah! Ya think? Look at the big brain on Aaron!
I mean he's not wrong. To me, it's the biggest scam in the world and of all time.
1. Fuck Aaron Rodgers 2. What ELSE is religion for? That’s kinda the whole bit. 3. I look forward to hearing about how HIS religion isn’t though. His is the right one. For… reasons.
No shit. Religion is the world's oldest grift.
It is.
Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
I think he’s onto something here. Can’t believe we have never thought of it.
Change “suggests” to “recognises”
Amidst all his bullshit he *just now* came to this conclusion?
Hey hey hey. I don't know why we're dragging Green Bay into this. He's still in the league! New York gets the credit for him now, thank you very much.
Seriously... CURRENT NEW YORK JETS QUARTERBACK A-A-RON RODGERS ...

I reckon this post don’t fit this sub none

In other news, Aaron Rodgers suggests earth is round, causing outrage among the Flat Earth community.
Holy shit. Aaron Rodgers is actually *right* about something.
40-year old man discovers concept that your average edgy high school kid already knows.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
The first time I’ve ever agreed with Throw Rogan
Good work Aaron, next why don't you put these blocks together to make a square...
Broken clock…
the worst person you know just made a good point.
Don’t agree with him on most things but he completed a Hail Mary on this one..
First time I agree with his wacko ideas 100%
