His point is valid. (Brandts) These guys are just wired different.

But Rodgers is particularly "funny." Always something a little off about him. I've probably been a bigger apologist for his constant smirking, tongue in cheek, smart ass stuff over the years, I found it more relatable than Favre's phony aw shucks routine, but still there are limits. I mean:

"I’ve done a pretty good job at taking care of myself for the last 37 years and look forward to taking care of another life at some point too."

Maybe just me, but what a strange way to say you want to have kids. Is he giving a book report? Things sound so scripted with him sometimes, hard to know where he stands on anything.

That's just personal stuff. The guy talks about how much winning means to him, but is trying to shoot his way off the best chance for another SB; he tries to come across as zen and above it all, but he holds petty grudges forever like nobody's business. I know people are complicated but sometimes they're also just unpredictable assholes who are more trouble than they're worth.

Boo Hoo the millions of dollars he gets paid should comfort him.

Actually, I go to work every day with my replacement in the office next door, he comes in coffee in the morning, I go to his office in the afternoon. We talk several times a day and he is like a sponge.

You can embrace that someday someone else will sit in your office and run the show and you can help them be successful doing that and ensconce them in your beliefs and methods thus continuing your legacy.... OR you can act like a spoiled brat or egotistical prick and try to derail that because no one can do it like you and bh)

I prefer the first method..... Arod and Brett not so much.
 
So, I read that the final nail in the coffin that brought Rodgers relationship with Gute/personnel dept to the breaking point was the Packers releasing Kumerow last September.
Is he really that fragile?!

I always blew off the Rodgers stuff as his Chino, CA persona. It just came with the territory. Also his personal relationships have been very “Hollywood” and that’s just not a GB thing. He likes the attention but he also can’t handle criticism

There’s a reason some people are given the title “emeritus”.

Yes. Yes he is. Especially since he has trust issues to begin with and they cut a guy he trusted.

You are in control of your situation and that's great and probably novel, but there are thousands of Americans in the past 15 years or so who have been laid off but forced to train their cheap replacements under threat of having severance withheld. I'm not chastising you, Mark, but I do think Brandt's comment is a little unintentionally tone deaf.

I get that but the difference IMO is our lives and careers are not public. I’ve met and worked with a few narcissistic people that come from the Brett / Aaron cloth. I’ve always presumed and accepted that I’m replaceable especially in my industry, it’s part of the way it rolls
