Aaron Rodgers went with the media for the first time since all the drama started. No one really knew what to expect when Rodgers stepped to the dais to give his first press conference of the season. Rodgers opened with a nearly 10-minute answer about what happened and went on from there. Rodgers laid everything out in the open. I’m probably less confident that he will be back in 2022. That said, I appreciate Aaron stepping up to talk with everyone and giving extremely open answers. That doesn’t happen at all with athletes. Rodgers deserves a ton of praise.

Like anything else, Rodgers wasn’t 100 percent right. He wasn’t 100 percent wrong either. Even those of us who are more on the organization’s side can see what Rodgers is frustrated about. The player empowerment era is here in sports, yet, Green Bay doesn’t seem to give a shit about it. They’re still the same organization that is run by their principles, and a player does not allow them to dictate everything. Still, you have to relate with Rodgers here because it’s unlike anything else in football and maybe sports.

In yesterday’s edition of The Daily Tap, I broke down different sections of Packers fans. The ones that are apathetic to all of this will not be changing their tune anytime soon. That was the only negative with the openness. Some fans were likely turned off by some of the commentaries and now are even more out on the season. You can’t impress everyone and can’t make everyone a believer. At least for Rodgers, he said what he had to say and now let’s play some fucking football.
