Well, the Cowboys seem to be doing pretty well this season. It makes as much sense as anything.

The Jets and Colts on Thursday night? That's some real targeted audiences there. No thanks.

Somehow I missed the Titans signing Adrian Peterson. Is that real? I didn't think he was still playing.

There's talk of Rodgers going to the Steelers next year. I hope this convinces them to avoid this bozo like the plague (pun intended).
Yep. After Derrick Henry went down (a real shame, he was having a fantastic year), they signed him. He hasn't played since last season with the Lions--so of course no one outside of Detroit knew he was in the league.
Congrats to AR for figuring out how to make both the off-season and now the regular season all about him.
And I will add--he could have avoided all of this publicity about it simply by being honest in the August press conference. He's not dumb, he knew he was misleading everyone when he responded to the question of whether he was vaccinated with "Yeah, I'm immunized." Now he wants to play the victim, so he goes on the McAfee show where he knows he's not going to get challenged on any of his claims. Oh well.

He is done. He is the only person on the planet who doesn't know it yet. Would you play with and for a dishonest drama queen like him? Nope. And neither will anybody else.

Sure. But if he gets separated from himself by a blizing linebacker with ill intent, I doubt if anybody will risk injury to prevent it, either.
What about all the atrocious behavior/criminal actions by previous NFL'ers? Most of them got grabbed up by other teams if released by their own. Or they were drafted by an NFL team after an assault (ala Joe Mixon).
Not saying it's right. But to think that nobody else would play with Rodgers doesn't ring true IMO. Look at all the scumbags whose careers have survived after having seemingly been dealt a death knell. Below is a list of NFL player arrests since 2000. I did not review the entire lengthy list, but I'm sure you guys/gals can think of a few examples of players who kept playing after doing stupid (and often criminal) things.
If people like Mixon (punching women) and Michael Vick (operating fight-to-the-death dog fights) were allowed to play after their crimes, I would think that some team would take a chance on Rodgers.

I'm with you on this @Jeff K. The NFL has proven to me over and over that they'll let anyone play their game and the players on the field will look the other way too if they can get on an ESPN highlight or win a few games.

Disagree 100%. He wins football games. He'll play for someone as long as he is a top QB.
Dear lord, we're calling people scumbags and comparing not getting a vaccine to criminal behavior like dog fighting and beating women? How hysterical, sensational, overreacting and ridiculous can you possibly be?
I was told this wasn't the covid 19 thread, but people can carry on about Rogers and his vaccine drama for a whole page? And he did all this for attention? Funny, I didn't even know about it except for the people talking about it in this thread. I guess we can go on and on and on about how we view Rogers and his stance on vaccines in this thread,.......as long as it's the -hysterical, non-scientific, bash everyone who doesn't want/need to be vaccinated- side of the discussion? Is that how the rules work in the "football" thread? How about we delete all the vaccine and "scumbag" talk, or at least take it to the COVID thread. Or, is that just for the people that have no problem with Rogers' vaccine decisions?
Anyway, the Bills look terrible today.
If they win, it'll be because the jaguars have been beating themselves all game.

Dallas has it on their own 28, 4th and seven. Dak throws a deep-ish pass and Sterns from Denver intercepts it at the 40 of Dallas.
What happened to game/situational awareness? Knock it down.

The Browns defense destroyed the Bengals early with turnovers. A 99 yard pick six makes up for a lot of flaws. Mayfield doesn't seem to miss OBJ much, either. The Browns gained more yards on a whole lot fewer plays. I don't know if the Bengals just sucked or if the Browns figured something out over this past week.
That wasn't the result I was expecting in Cincy today. Same deal in Dallas. Maybe in Baltimore too.
Such is life in the NFL.
