I can’t even talk about the Draft because too much happened hours before. Now, let’s review the drama. First, Tim Tebow says he wants an TE tryout with the Jaguars and his former college coach, Urban Meyer. So NOW Tebow wants to play a position other than QB1? Remember when Bill Belichick tried to get Tebow to play multiple positions and he refused to play anywhere that wasn’t QB for one of the greatest coaches in sports??? And in pure Bill fashion, if you act like a baby, he’ll treat you like a baby and sat in timeout (also known as the bench). Tebow’s NFL dreams were over and he quickly landed a broadcasting career and a minor league baseball career. But now, at 33-years old he wants to come back to football as a tight end? Shut the front door! He was famous for telling Bill “he didn’t love football, he loved quarterbacking”. All I understood from that is that Tebow wanted to be the star on the team, the leader. He wanted to be the one who the media wanted to interview and he wanted to be the one everyone loved.
After recently retiring from the minor leagues with a .163 batting average (above .300 means you are special) he proved his best skill in baseball was selling tickets in small towns. Another dream over, but still he has one of the best College Game Day signs ever: “Tebow Bunts”.
How many people can just call up a team and say, hey, I want a try out? And how many teams actually give you a tryout after you have been out of the league since 2012??? This has to be a media hype in some way or another. Does Tebow have a new book/show/movie coming out? Are the Jags trying to find a way sell more tickets? No way Tebow just had a come to Jesus moment and said I just love catching balls and having grown men tackle me.
Second media bomb in the NFL was learning Aaron Rodgers future in Green Bay is in Jeopardy… literally. He said he wants out of Green Bay and if he doesn’t get a trade he will not play and will be a front runner to host Jeopardy full time. (Y’all, I watch Jeopardy and I can honestly say that Aaron is better at non-speaking roles, like football. And I say that, knowing how hot he looked in a suit with the beard scruff and with the possibility of having a virtual date with him every weeknight at 7:30pm.)
The Packers made it very clear they were not going to make any trade deals for the reigning NFL MVP. To break down how bad Aaron wants out of Green Bay, he is willing to pay back $25 MILLION dollars from signing bonuses and roster bonuses to say duces and retire! Can someone please spill the tea on what flipped the get me the bleep out of here switch? There’s no way he ends his career like this. But let’s play a little Jeopardy.
Alison: I’ll take NFL for a thousand, current Jeopardy host.
Host: “With their last 10 first round picks of the draft, nine picks have been on defense and one pick as replacement QB”.
Alison: “Who are the Green Bay Packers!”
The Packers have continued to show Aaron zero support in the first-round last night and drafted a CB. If the Packers REALLY wanted to show any kind of olive branch to Aaron last night, then they would have drafted him a weapon. Instead they give him the finger.
Yes, Brett Favre was 37-years old when he was confused on if he wanted to play or retire after a 13-3 season. There was so much drama that ended with him on multiple rosters for three seasons. But the Aaron Rodgers era began and now, 16 seasons later, no Packers QB has played 17 seasons with the team. Bart Starr, Brett Favre and now Aaron Rodgers have all played 16 seasons with Green Bay. That’s a heck of a run for fans never having to worrying about their QB.
I mean, I never thought I’d see the day where Chicago Bears fans were more excited about their QB situation than the Green Bay Packers. I knew this fake proposal with Shailene Woodley crap was not going to end well and just look at where we are! I blame her, the Packers are in real Jeopardy!
