Evaluation of rookies will definitely be hampered by the spotty schedules played by so many college teams in the 2020 season. For instance, look at Justin Fields -- only eight games in 2020, a total of 225 pass attempts. Will he be successful, let alone a star, in the NFL? Maybe, maybe not -- it is very hard to say.

Really? I don't think she's any great shakes. Given who he is he could do waaaaay better. She must be a demon in the sack I guess.
Her nose is too big?
No idea what he was thinking!
2 shots prove he is crazy!
Scorpio Slasher: ... What about you boy, what do hate?
Marcus: ... Bullies. Tiny d*ck egotists who hurt people for no reason, make people lock their doors at night. People who make general existence worse, people like you.
So the Jacksonville Jaguars were on the clock for the first pick in the draft for 116 days, but it still took them almost the full 15 minutes to submit their pick in last night's NFL draft? Okay, I guess it's understandable to want to bask in the spotlight when it's shining on you, even if that's because you had the worst record in the league.

To quote Mae West or WIlliam Munny, " 'deserve' has got nothing to do with it."
Clearly he wants, and deserves IMO, another Superbowl ring. If they had helped him out last season they very well could have done that. As for the 2 years left on his contract he can do the bare minimum. Make sure he plays very conservatively to protect himself. If your starting QB doesn't want to play for you anymore you're better off trading him or he'll tank the team.
I'd like to see the Bears come back. With the exception of the Vikings the NFC North has always been my fave division.It is the Bears, their management/ownership is only slightly better than Cleveland's. It might happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Oh, and by the way -- seeing as Rodgers is busy shagging Shialene Woodley, what the hell does he have to complain about anyway?

It's really obvious who's doing the microwave attacks afaik. Starting in Cuba there's only 2 possibilities,
Cuba which would undermine all the gains they have made getting sanctions lifted by the US or Russia.
Russia has openly assaulted US military in the vehicular incident in the last year and openly committed
Cyber attacks against US government, corporations and civilians. Interfered in Elections and precipitated
Treason due to bribes and collusion in concert with the previous failed administration.
So maybe Cuba?
Cutter wrote on Apr 30, 2021, 13:39:Rodgers has no leverage. His only move would be to sit out, which isn't much of an option at 37. I'd bet on Rodgers staying at GB, he might not be happy about it but there isn't anything he can really do about it. The GB management presumably wants more than they can get for Rodgers since there was a rumor SF offered the #3 pick. Not sure I believe that, but if it is true it definitely means Rodgers is going nowhere.
So I guess the Packers management don't care that Rodgers wants out now. They said they cared then they go and pick a fucking cornerback. He's a good one I'll grant you but that's just another giant middle finger to Aaron. Maybe he'll end up with the Rams. I'm sure he'd like to be back in California to finish out his career and they're good enough he can take them to another Superbowl. Sucks for us Cheeseheads however. Let's hope Love is all he's cracked up to be, but I doubt it. Somehow I see GB going from SB contenders to "rebuilding" for the next 5 years, sigh.
A March report from the National Academy of Sciences found that "directed, pulsed radiofrequency energy" was the most likely cause of the strange set of symptoms. While the report was carefully written not to overstate its findings, it offered some of the clearest public evidence to date that the incidents could be attacks, attributing the afflictions to "pulsed" or "directed" energy.
