Aaron Rodgers had two options: Play or retire and be RFK Jr.'s VP | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
/ nflonnbc
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😂🤣
Florio not having it...Simms trying to straddle the fence 😂😂
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?
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
Calm down Florio. Drama queen
Florio sounding more like Alex Jones than Alex Jones
Rodgers has had several concussions. Its a possibility that explains Rodgers adventure into loony fucking tunes land.
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.
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 is more worried about the NFL than the U.S., lol. No one thinks it was serious, except Florio, apparently.
I don't know any football fans that don't think Rodgers is a complete loon and/or narcissist. He has lost football credibility based on this lunacy. Are you really surprised he would have left the Jets hanging? I'm not at all. His past actions have already shown what kind d of person he is. Frankly, I would rather hear your rants about Cousins than for you to give any more time on this guy.
He's a guy that has his own beliefs and is honest? Just cause you may not like who he is doesn't mean it's his fault. Seems like your own personal issue.
@@OrdinaryMaga "Honesty" doesn't mean spreading blatant misinformation.
The earth could be flat, we may have never landed on the moon, etc. need we say more about this guy. These are undebatable facts
I'm a football fan and I don't think Rodgers is a complete loon.
@@mattmcgoo It's a bot you're replying to, it seems the chat is fillrd with them
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.
The more the media hates on Rodgers, the more I root for him.
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.
Rodgers is whacked.
Tell me you don’t like Aaron Rodgers’s without telling me you don’t like Aaron Rodgers’s 😂
Florio is becoming more annoying by the day
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.
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?
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?
Interesting topic and commentary, but wonder why Florio yells through most of it.
Never seen Mike hate so much lol
Why Florio suited and booted today?
Suited and booted,🤣 a lot of people don't know what that means 💯🤣😕😆👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
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 !
With that suit, Florio should run for the presidency 😂😂
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).
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
This is about the 10th video I've heard Florio crying about Rodgers in the last 2 weeks. Politics have really fried his brain
That's off-season PFT for ya.
Florio vs Rodgers again
Florio vs. Rodgers ….. I got $10 on Flory!!
Imagine hating your country so much that you post a 21 minute PFT segment about how ANGRY you are that someone considered being VP, because he thought he could help make the country a better place. Believe it or not Mike, there are actually things in the world that are more important than football.
Apparently they are NOT more important than football, or he's stupid. Pick one only.
@@73ajd1 LOL just because he considered it doesn't mean he has to do it, or that he decided he's the best person for the job. Weird how much anger people have toward him.
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?
I love these 2 together. Best dynamic
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.
Florio trying to spin a web that Rodgers was actually gonna leave the Jets hanging is hilarious. Dude is so biased.
I used to like Rodgers until he started opining on everything and exposed himself as an insufferable idiot.
If Rodgers did an interview with you Florio, it would be like that Elon Musk & Don Lemon interview.
You’d be talking at him not to him, interrupting, ignoring his answers trying to set up a “Gotcha”, why would Rodgers want to participate in that?
If you spoke to him like 2 humans having a conversation, I’m sure he’d talk with you Florio, but he knows you won’t.
Rodgers doesn’t want to do any interviews where his ideas get challenged
It's always interesting when people reveal that they've fully invested themselves into an alternate reality.
@@night_wolf6621 I disagree. I love Florio on the NFL and I too think Rogers can be an ass but I would love to see Mike attempt to take on Rogers. He says these things because Rogers believes he can back them up just as Florio does. It would be a great pay per view in my opinion.
Mike has gone from being for forced vaccination, to “do what your doctor says” as soon as he and all his colleagues were wrong lol
I'm 72 years old and a lifelong bears fan. You can probably guess how much i like Rodgers. But the green eyed monster envy has never been more apparent than what i just heard. Florio you are a little child. Florio is why the media has such a low approval rating. He's like most overpaid media, thinking he has the only opinion that matters.
This is an old video file, months ago! why uploading it only now?
Why is Mike Florio like this? Guy never speaks with anyone who disagreed with him?
Exactly, spends the segment bashing Rodgers that he doesn't leave his safe space yet Florio does the same nonsense. It's comical that a lot of the argumentative points Florio speaks of, are the same ones he does.
Also, if Florio has Camera Muscles about asking Rodgers all these questions, why doesn't he go to a media availability or delegate a PFT Schmuck to go ask them? Oh right, cause he's just bluffing to create content during the lull of an NFL offseason
He has allowed for Rodgers to come on the show, but, Aaron is too cowardly and sensitive
I’d love to see florio debate rodgers. Aaron would whip the floor with him. I think Chris actually agrees with Aaron but he can’t say.
Myocarditis anyone?
If Florio thinks Rogers did this for any other reason than to see guys like him post a 20 minute video talking about him maybe running he's a lot dumber than I thought he was. But here we are with them giving it the platform...embarrassing really.
The Jets should cut their ties with Rodgers trade for Flacco or make a trade for Jake Browning. They’d be better for it. No drama
Rodgers can be explained in 3 letters: CTE
Florio is slowly morphing into a cynical geezer
Why does Florio look like he’s just been to the bank?
He was right about covid
bingo!
I disagree with Arron Rodger’s on many things including the Vaccine. But are you really going to sit there and just bash the man over his own ideas. I bet you would change your tune if he was standing there in front of you.
Aaron is smarter than most
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
I would absolutely vote for RFK and AROD.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@DrPhill96 o hell ya over the senile guy bankrupting the economy with woke policies
Right, noone else to vote for
Didn’t he just go on an interview with Tucker Carlson and praised Putin??
It is all a lie…nothing is what it seems…I’m sorry you believe the contrary.
You can tell Sims agrees with Rodger’s.
Dude loves talking about himself more than he loves football.
Mike is entitled to an opinion, but Aaron Rodgers isn’t because his are “dangerous” 🤦♂️
The jets wouldnt of had a QB for 2024,they havent had one since 1973😂😂😂
This dude is the definition of DRAMA👸. No surprise ppl/fans root for him to fail. Which is what the Jets will be doing a lot of this season... all during PrimeTime games!
Stick to football..you don't have the balls to think for youtself...
why not bring up Aaron Rodger's beef with Jimmy kimmel
Rodgers is right about most of what he says
Rodgers is going to underwhelm this season, no worries Mike.
Keep dreaming
Team Rodgers.
Chris Simms you’re a coward. Stand up to Florio. It’s easy to see that you want to agree with Rodgers takes.
The answer to a status question should only be "none of your business," just like Aaron wanted to say, but was too cowardly to say it.
My question is did he eat the same worm containing undercooked pork as RFK?
Mike just hates the guy lol and his words are like… “a fart in the wind”
Once a great country... getting crazy by the day...
I really respect Chris Simms for being honest and straightforward.
Even if we disagree, I respect his candor.
The more he talks the worse he sounds. He should take a vow of silence.
Rodgers lives rent free in Florios head
No one should be surprised that Rodgers was going to leave the Jets. The man is crazy. He hasn’t spoken with his parents in over 20 freaking years!!! They raised him and put him through college!! And now he won’t speak to them because he doesn’t like their religion. I don’t like my dads religion either so I don’t join it but I still a sweet the phone if he calls.
Florio definitely got all the boosters. Lol
They would have probably signed Ryan Tannehill
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!
Aron,you were born to be a Jet
Rodgers lives in Florios head rent free
Ok Mikey ! What’s wrong with Bobby ? It’s after his dad who was assassinated
Normally I like Floriio but this was a little disgusting. if a guy wants to serve his country rather than throw a football let him do it. It's a commendable effort. Take any other athlete and he'd be cheering him on.
Simms is a bit quirky, but florio has gone off the rails cant stand listening to him anymore
Drama Drama! No way Rodgers is going out like that! He's ready to go this season!! Watch out for pissed off Rodgers
We never give you in a position Mike when you get challenged!!!!! Chris is never going to do that!!!! I can use facts and take you apart within 5 minutes. And I can care less about you and what you think
Was Florio at The Trump Trial today
Florio doesn't get the bag. NBC gets the bag. Florio keeps his job by maintaining the status quo.
