  1. Shout out to Greg. He used to be unwatchable on Tv but he definitely has improved.

    Something Marshall just couldn’t do

  2. “Your truth” should have been the title with the amount of time this man says it.

  3. If you're vaccinated, why does thevnext man's vaccine status matter? Unless you're bitter that your life choices left you with no agency over your health.

  4. To refresh memories:

    Greg’s “criticism” was about Rodgers, with 3 years under his belt, not fighting with management to give Greg more money. GB offered 3/30mil and he took 4/40mil to go to MIN. MIN cut him two years in and he never saw the “extra” money. He felt like Rodgers betrayed him and showed poor leadership because he joked to a DB in San Francisco about Jennings going to SF (as if Rodgers or the random DB made decisions) and this was AFTER Greg turned down multiple offers from GB for 3 year top-of-market extensions.

  5. Nick said that’s a big change in personality?

    He literally defended his teammates/leaguemates and spoke of distrust of “media spin”. That’s almost exactly what he says now like every 3 weeks lmao

    I’m guessing Nick seeing tabloid headlines of “Aaron’s crazy conspiracy theories” and thinks they’re real and doesn’t hear him actually speak. It very rarely fits the title of whatever clickbait blogger is using a big name for traffic

  6. Pfizer sponsors this show and that’s why Nick goes after him.

    Read that on air Wildes.

    Should out the actual truth about Nick and Colin and their consistent attacks on Rodgers because they’re conflicted by the network they work for.

  7. Honesty I don't remember what happened between Jennings and Rodgers or what was said. But I do understand that "hurt people say hurtful things." You can tell by the way Jennings speaks this has weighed heavy on him for awhile.

  8. How much more info and flat out proof with admissions do people need to realize the covid vax and the democrat shutdown policies were all a scam Nick?

  9. Yo Ian O’Connor’s professionalism and his ability to stay impartial really impressed me and I truly commend him for how he spoke in this segment. Certainly eloquent and pristine oration.

  10. Dude – the media really loved to bash Aaron for the most dumb reasons. Why does one persons opinion on matters trouble yall so much? Separately, who cares how he feels about covid and the vaccine.

  11. That did knocked it right on the head with that statement! When the liberal people all supported him they immediately turned on him because of his opinion on the vaccine and it made him a villain and look how many people turned on him. it’s sad when Aaron has to Try and fight all these people in the media knowing all they do is lie and cry about people who don’t support their BS. it has become a time where all the real humans have to finally step up and start talking like Aaron or else we’ll become a nation full of insecure little girls who don’t want to say the wrong thing. I respect Aaron and I do even more now because he isn’t afraid to fight these people. If you genuinely hate the guy just because he isn’t afraid to say things that others don’t then you are part of the problem in this county.

  12. Aaron and Greg need to sit down privately. No way this is the only thing Greg losses sleep over. This is literally almost 15 years ago those events took place and he STILL just HAS to know Aaron deepest emotions about the statement.

  13. When ur peers feel like that, what can u say. Looks like he was right all along on the vaccine. Next. Football time

  14. What a clown he reached out to him and he didn’t even call him back hahahhahah yet he is sitting there still talking about it

  15. Why are we still talking about the vaccine?
    Yea he should of told everyone he was allergic to a ingredient, but the vaccine isn’t for everyone and shouldn’t be forced on anyone
    If you have a issue with Aaron over the vax your a dork

  16. It’s common sense that the owners were keeping Colin K out, you can’t trash a company then ask for a job, no matter if your right, dude has zero common sense

  17. Rodgers was the only one being right about covid. The moronic puppets of Big Pharma still tryna punish him though. Sad.

  18. The obsession by the liberal sports media with bending the knee on covid vaccination shows their complicity with the government.
    We were played by the government and the elites. Give it up and shut up.

  19. aaron rodgers opinions on covid aren't radical. its the media's opinion on it that were radical. get the vaccine or you cant go into a restaurant or movie theater.

    get the vaccine or you lose your job

    advocating cloth masks and saying the vaccine stops transmission

    pushing a narrative on day 1 that it came from a wet market despite no evidence for that, and not a single example of covid being found in the wild.

    all complete lies peddled by the government and media, but aaron is the crazy one lmao.

  20. that colin kaepernick stuff still bothers me to this day. there was no conspiracy to keep him out of the nfl. it was just obvious if a team picked him up there was going to be a backlash from the fans and all this drama added to the team that could be a major distraction. and kaepernick just wasnt good enough to be worth all of that trouble
