Aaron Rodgers had two options: Play or retire and be RFK Jr.'s VP | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
/ nflonnbc
I personally think Rodgers is an ass, but Florio, why in the world should he talk to you? You hate him. You want him to fail. You don't want him to have the right to express his opinion on things. No athlete should be under any obligation to talk to a media that hates them and will do anything they can to twist everything they can to make them look bad. If members of the media elite like Florio don't want Rodgers to get so much attention, it's easy. Stop talking about him. The things he says are spread out exponentially because hot take artists in the media spend an absurd amount of time talking about him every time he says anything.
Well said. I do not personally think Rogers is an ass but your point was well made either way I agree with you. Why anyone cares what a professional athlete thinks outside of sports I will never understand. Florio is the best at reporting the NFL but when he gets like this Mike is the ass in my opinion (that no one but me should give two cents about).
Im so sick of hearing about this guy. Its been 3 straight offseasons of Rodgers being the center of attention even though he hasn’t played good football since 2021. The fact that he was seriously considering leaving football to be the VP of a 3rd party candidate that has literally zero chance of actually winning the election just goes to show where Rodgers is at. He isn’t all in on football anymore, he’s all in on getting attention and publicity.
I'm more sick of Florio's unhinged Rodgers hate. He's the one who constantly keeps bringing up Rodgers off field stuff months after it was even a thing like the vp stuff. Sad really
@@doykereveryone that a “media” guy hates Aaron. Go listen to nick wright for 10 seconds
Absolutely! Florio is obsessed with Rodgers! Clearly Rodgers wants to move on and focus on football but Florio can't help himself. Says more about Florio than Rodgers!
@@doyker Florio can't even pretend to hide his Boomer bias against Rogers
Smoothbrain take. The reason you keep hearing about him has less to do with him trying to foist himself into the headlines and more to do with Florio and others being completely unhinged about the guy, still mad and butthurt that he lied about taking the vaccine. Yeah, he occasionally seeks attention on McAfee's show, but many of these things are topics I would never hear about if not for Mike Florio getting mad at the latest Rodgers news, often without Rodgers actually doing or saying ANYTHING (as is the case here).
But Florio, Nick Wright, etc. have the ultimate idiotic take that Rodgers is supposed to make a big public show about denying or addressing every single controversy they drum up. They want him to act like some sort of a puppet, "I refuse and deny any allegations that I will be VP for RFK, and I deeply apologize for the pain and mental anguish it caused people to hear those words about me, and I will try to do better next time someone else talks about me because somehow that is my responsibility." Is this the apology you want? What exactly is Aaron Rodgers supposed to do for you here?
Florio is absolutely manic anytime Rodgers comes up.
I'm with Florio. I'm sick of having to suffer with fools in our society who have a platform and choose to spew easily debunked fairytales and bullcrap.
@@johnchedsey1306 , if it really is so easily debunked then why does it matter?
agreed, he's so damn salty every time Rodgers' name comes up. Not sure what his personal agenda is.
He's a few episodes away from his inner eyelids swiping sideways, if lizard bots exist his veil has shifted way green the past 2 years and I don't think it's the camera😏
@@johnchedsey1306
"debunked" a soundbite I heard on msm and repeat without ever reading a scientific report, and why should you, a guy you know on TV reported he heard it from a guy's anonymous source who said his neighbors 2nd cousins donkey debunked it😂🤣
fake intellectual is the perfect way to describe Rodgers.
Or he's just a guy that has strong beliefs you don't like or maybe you just are not smart enough to understand
Just a dude in his 40s who finally tried psychedelics and now is LARPing as a spiritual guru. If you have to tell everyone how spiritual you are you’ve completely missed the point. Everything about the dude is fake
Never regretted getting vaccinated and I still get vaccinated.
@@Lonesome_Loser It is not as simple as vaccines are good or bad. There has been vaccines pulled from the market due to side effects and Vaccines that have saved millions of lives. You have total trust in a FDA that told us Oxytocin is not addictive last then 20 years ago. When they know it was addictive and it caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
@@jacksonlandry1017 No - he is objectively wrong. His opinions are his own, but when he chooses to discuss them publicly or get involved politically - criticism comes with the territory.
There does reach a point where objectively false claims become dangerous or troublesome. This isn’t him being “different” or quirky.
Florio is more worried about the NFL than the U.S., lol. No one thinks it was serious, except Florio, apparently.
Florio is a clown. Rodgers was never going to leave the Jets without playing for them. Nowhere in the conference did Rodgers say that he was "seriously" considering it. I'm willing to bet Aaron was honored that RFK asked him, but it was never in the cards that he would actually retire this offseason.
The fact that Florio hat a Rodgers so muc makes me respect him more. I can’t stand when a reporter lets his political bias affect the way an athlete is covered. It’s a joke.
Rogers, Tucker and RFK should go brain-worming together. Great football player but also tiresome to listen to. People are negative toward him because he is an attention junky. I don't care about a football player's opinion regarding science, law, economics, UFOs, natural intoxicants, herbal medicine, finance or politics unless they have genuine expertise to share. His expertise is on the football field full-stop period.
@privatenotforpublicdispl then dont listen asshoke. Hes brilliant ay5155
Man only Florio can get this heated over something that never happened. Like what a nothing burger, dude entertained an idea and didn’t do it…. Who cares?
Florio, you're smart enough to know what to say and not say in order to maintain your status.Same for Sims, except he's moe likeable.
I would do the same tbh. He has the easiest job in the world. Why risk it?
Rodgers has had several concussions. Its a possibility that explains Rodgers adventure into loony fucking tunes land.
Rodgers is whacked.
Tell me you don’t like Aaron Rodgers’s without telling me you don’t like Aaron Rodgers’s 😂
Why Florio suited and booted today?
Suited and booted,🤣 a lot of people don't know what that means 💯🤣😕😆👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I love these 2 together. Best dynamic
I believe Rogers over brainwashed media. I think Sims got it right. Rogers reflects what society is already thinking. Florio reflects the corporate media life he lives in.
Rogers does NOT reflect the majority of Americans. Not even close.
Yeah, no. Rodgers is a dingbat conspiracy theorist. He absolutely does not reflect mainstream society's opinions.
Simms saying Rodgers is smart, screams smart for sports guys.
The bar for smart is very different for different people.
Nah hes a objectionally a very smart guy. Misguided is some ways, but definitely a smart fella.
Rodgers is smarter than anyone in the Biden administration.
@@srobeck77 Maybe gullible is a better descriptor.
@@alfgwahigain5544 or maybe denile is the bigger factor
Actually his SAT and Wonderlic scores are quite high, 88th and 95th percentile respectively if I recall correctly.
Michael James Florio at his absolute f***ing best !
Florio doesn't get the bag. NBC gets the bag. Florio keeps his job by maintaining the status quo.
Once a great country... getting crazy by the day...
Florio trying to spin a web that Rodgers was actually gonna leave the Jets hanging is hilarious. Dude is so biased.
He was right about covid
bingo!
Florio is the dude rodgers is talking about in terms of the “vaccine lens.” Dude who talks abt other ppl for a living can’t even understand what it’s like for ppl to ACTUALLY do things in their lives man
It just shows you have to plan for potential outcomes. As such, I've informed my job that if I am asked to be on a presidential ticket, I will seriously consider it, and they may have to find a replacement graphic designer.
Some things are more important than football
Why does Florio look like he’s just been to the bank?
Florio definitely got all the boosters. Lol
So if you were asked by anyone to be a VP candidate, you cant see yourself considering it. Considering it doesn't require much more than being flattered. Add in a competitive athletic star with a mathing ego. I didnt say Aaron should, or that he'd be good at it.
Mike just hates the guy lol and his words are like… “a fart in the wind”
Jesus H Christ!
Mike is such an ambulance chaser...
Better call Saul!
Fckin hall monitor
Florio you yell more than Sean McVay.
Chris, you are the man when it comes to analizing film but from a geopolitical point of view i understand what he said about needing more people. If you look deep for his point of view you understand, i did with a 12th grade education.
Speaking of QB's, I'd to circle back around to the fiasco in Atlanta with their QB situation.
Mike… did you just say what Rodgers said is “dangerous”
Goodness. Also, doctor malpractice is a huge issue. Appeal to authority is an awful fallacy from someone that’s as educated as you. Don’t be silly, Florio.
I think it's more than possible to have intelligence and still believe in unintelligent things. I'm a college student who still thinks education is the future, case in point.
So he enters the HOF as a ......
Yea Rodgers isn’t all in on football. He is all in on getting attention and publicity at any cost.
Rodgers lives rent free in Florios head
Before you get too crazy about this I just want to remind everyone that Owners throw players under the bus all of the time.. You have to do what you have to do as a player and players will agree with me.. I am a PACK fan and a Favre fan and I do believe that he got screwed out of Green Bay.. With that being said Rodgers is totally different.. I would say that media should treat different players differently.. Was Favre ever the highest paid QB? I remember when Matt Ryan entered the NFL as the highest paid player.. That was during Favre's Prime..
That comment that Chris said about smart people saying dumb things about Elon Musk saying we need more people was brilliant;)
I was like "what the hell" when he was on Jeopardy and he really did fit the part..
Dude loves talking about himself more than he loves football.
My question is did he eat the same worm containing undercooked pork as RFK?
Simms is a bit quirky, but florio has gone off the rails cant stand listening to him anymore
You making an appearance at a deposition, Mike?
Mike Florio making something out of nothing like usual.
Flurio hates freedom of speech Rodgers does So though I'm not a big fan of Aaron Rodgers. I'll take Rogers over Florio any day of the week
I think Rodgers is out of game shape...mentally and physically and his own personal drive to actually compete on the field. Too much off time...doesn't work in the NFL. Not at the NFL level.
Can we talk football next time please 🙏 😂
There is no difference in the level of success he will/would have with either choice. Complete failure no matter which path ...
Doctors, many of them, recommend 14 year old take puberty blockers also Mike. I'm not covid vaxxed and don't regret it. AR is a diva tool.
It’s funny how they say he’s just trying to find his niche or he’s just wanting the attention. But this all started with the whole Covid stuff. He was quiet about the fact he wasn’t vaccinated until the media pressured him to say it and when he finally did the whole media and world turned against him. And…. Turns out he was right. But ever since then everything he says and does will be scrutinized by guys like florio.
What's up with the suit?
How can you say he won’t Eva live up to Brady or patric so is I took Mahomes played for Matt Leflore or Mike McCarthy you would have three Super Bowl rings or Tom Brady would have seven Super Bowl rings if you play for his coach so you put Aaron Rogers with Andy Reid I’m pretty sure Aaron has wanted through Super Bowl Rodgers, Tom Brady coach Bill Belichick, so have a lotthat bullshit will never get way better coaches
Aaron talks a lot about his vaccine status.
If you'd stop putting up these segments florio, maybe we would stop talking about rodgers as much. If you don't care about him then stop doing videos about him lol 😆
Rodger’s irreverent since 2011 ….🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺……Torn labia
18:40 you don’t have all of the information my guy. Birth rates need to be 2.1
RFK JR 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Turn the page on aaron rogers
Florio, you are a sensationalist. Entertaining sure, but painfully ignorant.
Notable population statistician Chris Simms thinks overpopulation still a thing in 2024...hoo boy stay in your lane
Distractions in April? Get a fuckin grip Florio.
Rodgers is a dumb guy's idea of a smart guy.
Bobby? Bobby is crazy and now it’s obvious that Rodgers is also bat shit crazy!!
Simms was crying about the non vaxxed....still love him tho
So funny to hear these guys talk about the vax. Didn’t Rogers do what his Dr told him to do? You guys buried him for that
Rodgers > Florio.
Wow
Clown show
As Americans who are ardent patriots and have a platform to let their voice be heard, I applaud Mr. Rodgers. Gentlemen like him and Pat Tillman saw that there can be a higher calling and greater honor to help our beloved country. We can all see that our country is going in the wrong direction and both political parties have not been able to solve many important issues that us Americans have suffered for decades. "We the people" sounds like an amazing party. I was raised as a Democrat but changed to independent years ago. Let RFK debate and let's hear his thoughts on what will make America great again. If Trump and Biden can be elected, why not give RFK a chance. This two party corrupted system We live in needs to change.
You are fully on point except- we have a One-Party System. It's just corporate. Corporate dems. Corporate reps. They pretend to fight. Working class loses.. badly.
Florio not having it...Simms trying to straddle the fence 😂😂
Rodgers loves to hear him self talk
No more than Florio. Hilarious that just 5-6 years ago, Rodgers rarely ever did any media and he was called "aloof". Now he goes on a podcast occasionally and hes a diva who loves to hear himself talk, annoyed most by people who get paid to hear themselves talk on TV.
They are talking about him. They decided to keep this going.
Amen!
@@jring383 Rodgers was on an ESPN radio show every Tuesday for several years then was on Pat McAfee for 4 years. Rodgers hosted "An Evening with Aaron Rodgers" for at least 5 years.
@@zanyabains2390 "An evening with Rodgers" was a charity event. Not a media spot. I never said he never did media, I said rarely.
Florio, name a politician or mainstream media personality that exposes themselves to an open debate? And I'm not including scripted corporate news debates.
Exactly. And Florio himself wants no part of it and is just taking pot shots from a distance refusing to be caught flat footed in a potential exchange with Rodgers.
He says this while he only does a show with his friends.
Leftists in their ivory tower trying to lecture everyone is just old lol they’re also just self destructing because the world now rejects them lol
Bernie Sanders
@@williehardiman6766 , not especially so. He debated Lindsay Graham and did a Town Hall with Fox, I'm not sure that qualifies him as someone who will take on all comers.
@@earlmcmanus194 Rodgers is as shallow as he looks. Sick of his ego and ignorance.
Chris Simms saying he regrets getting the jab crushed Mike
Simms caved. I never would have. He doesn't need NBC.
Millions regret it. I wasn't dumb enough to do it but glad he realizes he didn't need it either.
@Joel-brody It's hard to believe billions of people fell for this. More sheeple than I thought. A giant experiment without knowing long-term impact.
@@Joel-brody No one regrets it because there were no negative consequences for getting it.
Simms didn’t want to do it but did so anyway cause he didn’t want the possibility of harming someone on his conscience. You’re correct, you and Simms are indeed not alike.
Better chance of winning the presidential campaign than winning with Jets! 😂I guess .01 percent is better than zero!
Don't think he would win either one 😀
They’re both at 0% chances
Many people would think darkness retreats, conspiracy theories, vaccine lying, whatever he was smoking in Peru, no family contact is a little different. He can do what he wants but it brings more attention. He has one ring in 18 years of football. There is a reason GB no longer wanted him. GB made the playoffs last year without him.
ok Karen
The guy who turned off the PFT comments section says Rodgers doesn’t like to be challenged…😂
Dude! Preach!
Freedom of speech is not dangerous. Annoying maybe, but not dangerous. It's the backbone of our Republic.
the U.S. is a constitutional Republic.
@@zanyabains2390 And a democracy.
Y’all are not intelligent in your opinions
America is like an old wooden ship it creaks and groin in the ocean, but its hull is as strong as an ox, it was designed that way, it is what makes it so strong.
Calm down Florio. Drama queen
And by the way your US government does lie majority if not all the time. So for people who trust their government without challenging them it's part of the problem. That's what's Aaron Rodgers is talking about Mike
Rodgers hate is what Florio does best and I'm all here for it!
This is the Florio I love. Keep it up my brother.
I think we owe Greg Jennings an apology. He tried to tell us this guy was a long time ago.
Florio sounding more like Alex Jones than Alex Jones
Aaron Rodgers seems to forget that he is an NFL QB first, but it appears he would rather be the smartest man in the world bent on helping all of us science-based imbeciles from ourselves.
You can read between the lines of what Simm's says to understand he is pro Rodgers but too much of a coward to outright come out and say it. Which in my opinion is worse. Come out and have strength in your convictions rather than half supporting and half understanding
I think he is neither. He agree with some and doesn’t agree with other. But he doesn’t seem offended like florio
Nah. Simms is a pure football fan who really doesn't care to venture into other conversations. I believe he truly just wants to discuss what Rodgers does on the field (such as snap tendons) and never have to segments on darkness retreats (also called "camping"). While I think Rodgers is rather touched in the head, he genuinely was one of the greatest QBs of all time in Green Bay.
We need to move away from allowing these ex players to be part of anything that involves analysis. They all been hit it the head way too much. Even if you played high school, you’re done.
The most overrated QB of all time
Interesting topic and commentary, but wonder why Florio yells through most of it.
At the end there, Florio could have said what we all are thinking : Rodgers has main character syndrome. Doesn't make him a bad person (though his other actions certainly seem to lean that way).
Not Chris Sims also avoiding pressing Aaron.
Why does Simms need to press Rodgers lol
Why would he choose to press Aaron? It was the media who created the distractions, not Aaron. Sims is a smart guy and knows what's really happening
@@johnmikolajczyk Rogers is a tool and there are legitimate reasons to criticize him. I’m learning Sims is also a tool.
Luv how all of the “they think everything is conspiracy” are assuming that everything isn’t a conspiracy .. smh?? We gotta all do better and just stop assuming all together .. sht is silly!? STOP ASSUMING.. assumptions make an ass out of me and you!
Hey Mike .. you might need to take a good month or two off of football my guy and do some basic research man. Sports are such a distraction and I’m guilty of it as well but c’mmon man!
Mike .. I hate to break it to ya but Aaron Rodgers is very smart mainly bc he’s paying attention .. unlike most! Awareness and perspective/context are very necessary.. obviously. You have to respect a guy that refuses to go along to get along .. you should try it out sometime bub!
Florio vs Rodgers again
Florio is becoming more annoying by the day
Never seen Mike hate so much lol
Yeah we don't need another MAGA style republican we need someone who can bring common sense back to the party
Define common sense please. WMD's hiding in Iraq? Hussein tied to Al-Qeada and 9/11? 1 million+ dead and poisoned Iraqi's? What kinda sense are we talking about here?
Fool
Maybe one more year of this, and we won’t have to hear from Aaron Rodgers again.
Any other quarterback would have been blackballed for the stuff he says and does. Disappointed but not surprised about some of the defense of him, that Simms gave. But that’s my opinion.
Stick to football..you don't have the balls to think for youtself...
Simms seems like a weird guy. He regrets getting the vaccine, but gives not a single reason why. He seems fine and there was no disruption to his career. What was there to regret?
Wow How Frightening of a thought? this snow bunny would be second in command holy crap.
I used to like Rodgers until he started opining on everything and exposed himself as an insufferable idiot.
It is all a lie…nothing is what it seems…I’m sorry you believe the contrary.
He should run for a position in Putin's cabinet.
Does RFK, Jr., completely disdain drugs now that he had recovered from his heroin addiction or does he do a toot or two of psychedelics with Rodgers?
