Ver good example of "When smart people believe weird things". He has been reported as being very smart, but then he is obviously one of those confused people that are "smart" yet do not understand basic things.

If (and this is a big if) Love does well today…. Is it perhaps not impossible team moves on. I’m getting the same feeling I got in off season…just hoping for no news.

Aaron is smart, sure. But Aaron thinks of himself as the smartest guy in the room, that's been clear for well over a decade. And given the many, many, many A-A-Ron fanboys in the media, few have challenged him over the years, only adding to his ego and feeding into how smart he thinks of himself. The adoration has been off the charts for a very long time, and it has never just been about him playing football. That his ego has gotten big enough for him to think he could interpret so-called scientific data on par with a PhD or an MD, is not surprising in the least. Nor is him being in bed with the likes of Joe Rogan. Him believing conspiracy theories and new age BS isn't new, it's just the first time it's blown up big enough for people to not ignore it.

Kareem came for Aaron too. It's on the longer side (though worth reading) but if you don't want to read the entire thing, I've added a couple of screenshots people posted of their favorite parts. The romance writer part is my personal fave.

[ponchi101]

Kareem is mandatory reading. Excellent statement.

I agree that the romance writer line is very good.

Cupcake fines handed out to the Packers and Rodgers. NFL going light doesn't seem like it will go well at all, and certainly won't make this story go away. The teams that got fined last year and those that have had to strictly follow the protocols are going to be pissed.

[ponchi101]

It is the kind of thing that takes away any credibility from this club of billionaires. Rodgers should have been handed a suspension of at least one game (other then the one he missed due to C19) and a 6 figures fine. I am fine with the Packers' fine if they had, in turn, fined Rodgers due to his actions.
But then they fine CeeDee Lamb for his socks being too low. It is ridiculous.

[ptmcmahon]

Socks being too low is contagious too right?

Hilarious that this includes a photo of him wearing a Patriots uniform.

^^ Give the absolute BS coming out of the Panthers in the off-season and at the beginning of the season diminishing Cam Newton's time as a Panther and really just flat out telling lies about his time there, this is a healthy slice of humble pie being swallowed at the Panthers front office right now.
