    He should try a round of ivermectin treatment for that.

    On a serious note, I'll try to stay neutral on his injury since it's more of a dehumanizing thing to get satisfaction from someone suffering such an injury, but he is a bit of an asshole so I won't feel bad for him either.

    This is classic Jets however, in some way they always seem to be destined to fail. On the one hand maybe this was objectively a good decision to trade for Rodgers at the time since they had a team ready to win in other facets, on the other hand the Packers I think were kind of lucky to be rid of him which seems to me like it would conflict with the idea that it was a great trade for the Jets. They took a big risk on a guy who had been consistently underperforming in the playoffs and his last season was one of his worst seasons statistically, especially factoring in his age around that performance. Sure one could say that Rodgers silenced doubters the year before with an MVP season or that Tom Brady came back from down years at that age, but you're talking rare exceptions rather than the rule there.

        I think Rodgers is the greatest QB ever and I wasn't particularly sad to see him go as a Packers fan. Pretty much everyone I know was over his attitude. Maybe we'd all feel differently if we'd won a couple more super bowls, but I think it was just time.

    It's sad to see athletes get injured, but since afaik his contract is fully guaranteed, that does mean he is getting paid like $75m for 10 minutes of play. Might be some of the most expensive...

    This it's terrible. I'm hoping it's not season ending. As a Packers fan, I'm still rooting for him. I'd hate to see Rodgers go out like this

      Season ending confirmed, potentially career ending. I wasn't sad to see him go and to be completely honest I really wanted to see how he was going to handle the new york media, but there it is.

    This is hilarious. As a Patriots fan last night couldn't have been much funnier.

    So many of the other guys really stepped up in that Bills game. Whitehead’s picks, Gipson’s punt return, Garrett Wilson’s ridiculous touchdown catch. I definitely feel bad for Jets fans and players who definitely looked on track for a big season.
