Wow, all I can say after reading that is, Aaron Rodgers is really, really stupid.

[-] designatedhacker@lemm.ee 27 points 8 months ago

Being a quarterback savant didn't really prepare him for his new career as a political scientist, historian, and scientist.

[-] ganksy@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

After reading that, I can honestly say I'm significantly dumber than I was five minutes ago. What a dip shit.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

CTE for sure

This just in, men who get hit in the head for a living don’t understand how mRNA works.

[-] Thassodar@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

"mRNA" is what they were saying when they got hit sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's back-tracking some of the shit he's said. i.e. Sandy Hook. I hope the parents sue him and take him to cleaners. He's a great QB but geez terrible person.

*Was a great Quarterback, we'll see if he really does come back like "Superman" from this Achilles injury like his narcissistic self thinks he will.

Also only having one Superbowl win from more than a decade ago kinda limits his greatness, even my boy Eli took two Superbowl victories away from the GOAT QB, Tom Brady, and nobody but us Giants fans would call Eli a "great Quarterback".

[-] TravisKelce@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Eli was great when it mattered most which is what makes someone great.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 8 months ago

Eli was fuckin clutch when it mattered.

He wasn't one of the greatest but he is one of those greats who will always be remembered

Tartarian theory has to be one of the dumbest conspiracy theories I've ever seen, and I've been into conspiracy shit since I was a little kid, now I'm just a skeptic, but still, the whole premise of Tartarian theory is the old "they don't make things like they used to" trope that old people commonly bemoan, while tying things together with a racist ubermensch bow as they try to tie their theory to some race of giants that no longer exist and where the knowledge of them is suppressed by the Jews oops I mean the "world order" or the "scientific community" or whatever, but really it's just a bunch of the usual antisemitic tropes to paint the Tartarian suppression as being controlled by the Jews, because who else would they blame, right?

Also since Tartary existed where Russia is now it would be pretty safe to bet the Ruskies are also pushing this garbage in their propaganda/disinformation campaigns on international conspiracy theorists, which those idiots just eat this shit up.

Here's a good write up about this stuff from Bloomberg:

The Wikipedia section explaining it:

This is amazing it's somehow dumber than qanon which is saying a lot.

Most Jets fans are angry idiots anyway, even their owner is a dipshit Trumper Nepo baby.

I've considered them my (B.) team for most of my life, behind the Giants, and every other Jets fan I've ever met has been a grumpy sad sack who blames everybody else for everything else, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire fanbase went MAGA, and the Rodgers signing and letting him carry on with his dumb shit was the last nail in the coffin of my Jets fandom, I'll be rooting for their failure unless things drastically change for their organization.

[-] TravisKelce@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I would be a tiny bit surprised if millions of new yorkers suddenly turned MAGA because their QB and team owner are idiots.

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Oh no, I meant the correlation between being a Jets fan and MAGA, i was just saying there's probably some strong overlap, lol.

[-] wordman@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Millions of New Yorkers turned MAGA without them already. Take a look at who “represents” Long Island in the House of Representatives, for example.

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 months ago

Conspiracy theories can be fun and exciting to read about. I think they appeal to the "what if?" part of our imaginations. In no way should you believe in ALL of the conspiracy theories and that seems be what Rodgers is all about these days.

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I like the part of the article that highlights how he's not pro-Trump either, so Rodgers collaboration with RFK Jr is going to definitely pull at the Trump voters, glad that prediction seems to be coming to fruition, either way fuck Trump, RFK, and Rodgers.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

He's on the short list for RFK Jr's VP, I'm like 75% sure it's just so it doesn't seem as ridiculous when he chooses Jesse Ventura. But it's the Upside Down, all his conspiracy theories that make him unelectable are the reasons he's being considered. So who knows.

[-] Crank_it@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I hope Jesse Ventura doesn't join the ticket. He's had a lot of good takes on things in recent years. He seems like a decent guy.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I don't know if it's good or bad I hadn't heard that RFK he is trying to get Aaron Rogers to be his VP...

Like, I'd say he has a day job, but even Joe Namath left the Jets for better opportunities...

Wow what a read.
