I hope Jordan Love doesn’t turn into Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers

Scum                             Not Scum                  Scum

Well, the Chicago Bears season came to an end as it so often has with a defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.  During the game Tony Romo said he saw some of Brett Favre's gunslinger attributes in Jordan Love's arm angles and throwing motion.

Since 1992, the Packers have enjoyed an unprecedented run at Quarterback;  Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.  Fortunately, these two all-time "greats" only managed to bring two Super Bowl Titles (and one loss) to Title Town.

And now Jordan Love appears to be continuing the tradition.  While the rules absolutely favor passing Love put together a strong season and got the Packers back into the Playoffs.  Now perhaps Love will sabotage his career by making a pass at his teammate Jonathan Owens wife, someone named Simone Biles, but I highly doubt it as Love seems like a good dude.  Damnit...

But, the past two Green Bay QBs have either turned into unredeemable scumbags or always were.  It's amazing the inferiority complex Aaron Rodgers has that he is still trying to outdo Favre in scumbag behavior.  But, barring some Hail Mary it's not likely as Favre's run of behavior has veered into theft and criminality. 

As the Mississippi scandal of Republicans stealing TANF money and funneling it to their wealthy friends and allies broke and Favre's deep involvement came to light, Shannon Sharpe took to his ESPN Show Undisputed to correctly call Favre "a sorry mojo who stole money from the lowest of the low" "people who really needed that money",  Trump loving Bret Favre decided to sue him and two others (Pat McAfee and Mississippi State Auditor Shad White) for defamation.

Of course, the facts of the situation are Republicans in Mississippi did steal $77,000,000 in federal money set aside for TANF and, however Favre found out about the scam, he specifically asked to have several million dollars of that money set aside for him to build a volleyball stadium at his daughter's school while Favre would claim he donated that money through his charity.  Favre has paid back over a million dollars to the state.  As Republicans often say "facts are stupid things".  Fortunately, the Judge in his case threw out Favre defamation suit but, it shows how rightwingers have really taken to using courts to win when the facts are against them.  Too bad for Favre he couldn't go Judge Shopping for a Packers Fan who would have declared him the Winner.

Fascinatingly, the Reason article on this garnered so little commentary from the lying rightwingers who infest that platform (only 7 comments and half of them are off topic).

Pat McAfee is now entangled in another Packers QB scandal.  McAfee often has Rodgers on his show to talk to him and former Green Bay Packers LB A.J. Hawk.  Last week, as the trio inexplicably talked about the Epstein List release Rodgers, with his extensive wine room in the background stated, “A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out.” Rodgers also said he would be “popping some sort of bottle,” if Kimmel was on the list.

Rodgers has been angry at Kimmel for several years because during Covid Rodgers repeatedly lied, especially by omission and inference, when asked about his vaccination status by saying he was "immunized".  Rodgers is a "tin-foil hat nutter" who like all Republicans has no compunctions about putting other people at risk because he is a special little snowflake who doesn't care about others.

Kimmel pointed out that Rodgers' slander put his family and children at risk as MAGA Chuds sent death threats as if that matters to conservatives who have fallen in love with threatening to murder their political enemies and emulate Traitor Trump's manner of hateful, vile, treasonous, fascist speech, that is when Trump isn't making fun of disabled people or stumbling through a speech not knowing what he's saying.

But, Kimmel the comedian really skewered Rodgers by making fun of the end of his career.  Aaron hamstrung the Jets this season and probably for a decade to come by forcing them to cater to his delusional trade, contract, and player signing demands.  But, yesterday with big Don't Report that I Got Mad energy on McAfee's show, Rodgers claimed, he "doesn't give a shit what Kimmel says about me" and he "isn't stupid enough to accuse [Kimmel] with absolutely zero concrete evidence."

That's some big ass covering for Rodgers, McAfee, and ESPN.  But, Rodgers still feels free to air his lunatic conspiracy theories about Fauci, vaccines, and #QAnon nonsense.

So, while Rodgers career included unprecedented success of "still owning the Bears", he and Favre are being forced to own up to being their scummy selves.
