Of course, who the hell wants to hear moral aggrandizing in the first place?

A-Rod got us into the Super Bowl.
I write for each and every Packers fan by mentioning: No apology needed.

That’s great that he does charity stuff, but if he was in a hurry a basic acknowledgment, a hello, or a pointing to your watch motion would’ve been sufficient.

I’ll jsut say for anyone else in Green Bay, you would know that Aaron’s history with “the fans” in general has been a little odd and tumulteous at times. I think he’s more into being a great QB, than for being the face of the team. Take that a criticism if you like, but it’s a pretty accurate statement and isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

funny how pervy gets to spit out all kinds of crap at people (mostly packer fans), but when i try to post a mild comment about how much of a joke everyone thinks he is it doesn’t get posted. he gets more thumbs down than anyone on here.
======================================
Everyone thinks I am? When did YOU become everyone tool? I only get thumbs down from haters(Pack fans). I also get more thumbs up then most. Don’t hate because you are a little,irrelevant, jealous mommy’s boy….

No, it was the Reilly piece that was the truly un-founded hack-job hit piece, that said more about Reilly’s arrogance and insecurities than it said anything about Cutler or his (real or media-invented).

And were it not for that recent defense of Cutler by Flo (still hard to even believe I read that!), I’d have a much harder time accepting that the above apology was even legit…were it not for that defense of Cutler, I’d right now be calling this offering an arrogant, superficial indulgence into self-importance (and essentially phony) pandering to one vocal fanbase and all the GB-adoring apologist fanboys that make up the collective sports mainstream-mediots.

But I think it’s sincere, at least.

That said, between the apology and all the responses that have followed (“I hereby accept your apology on behalf of ALL Packer fans! Da-da-daah!”) there’s still enough pompous self-importance puked out on this posting to make even your average LARPER a bit queasy.

Being quick on the trigger in today’s era of Web and Video Journalism is fought with dangerous opportunities of innocently affecting people’s careers – even their own. I don’t want to see that happen to Mike as I think his intentions were Genuine and he appears to be a Stand-Up Guy.

Who?

Really Erin, it is the gayest thing ever…..

I have come to be a HUGE fan of yours and have great respect for judgment and unique analysis of all things NFL Football. To that end, I commend you for apologizing to all parties affected by your Aaron Rodgers comments but PLEASE “take a step back” and truly seize this “learning moment” about YOU as a Journalist. Peter King would have NEVER jumped so quick to write something potentially so damaging about an Athlete who unlike most has given the public NO REASON to suspect he is anything but what he appears to be. It is my understanding that you are also an attorney, as am I, and you should know better that things are usually NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR and that there are ALWAYS THREE (3) sides to every story.

I’ve watched and listened to you in a variety of media forums and it is my belief that YOU and Roger Goodell are Two (2) Primary Reasons as to why NFL Football is so damn entertaining and interesting. You seem to represent the “Regular Guy” who feels that, if given the chance, he (or she) could be an NFL Personnel Executive as a result of their passion and interest in NFL Football. With that in mind, PLEASE don’t take this experience personally and simply embrace your mistake in judgment and MOVE ON toward becoming the most intuitive and interesting NFL Analyst the Game has ever seen.

Speak for yourself, not the fans. Favre in his first few years in GB did not even come close to the “elitism” that Rodgers has shown (i.e. telling fans to STFU, crying to the press when a 5-year old flipped him off, and the well documented blowing off of autograph seekers and cancer patients). I love Rodgers, but I can’t stand by as people attempt to put him on some type of pedestal above Favre. Favre’s charities have done more for Wisconsin than probably any other professional athlete has ever done for the state and continues to do so today even though he hasn’t been on the team for 3 years. Now that is class.

And then there are the acts of kindness that a PR company never hears about. Ask the Boys and Girls Club of Green Bay why 100 underpriveleged kids had a great Christmas in 2009. The media didn’t even catch wind of it for a year. Or how about parents who came home after one of the big snowstorms to find the neighbor–who happens to be Green Bay’s starting–QB playing cards with their kids after he helped them shovel out their driveway. Neither the Packers nor Rodgers made a press release with these things. The cameras weren’t rolling to propagate an image.

sometimes the biggest acts of kindess, in my opinion, are those that aren’t done for attention. Those moments are genuine.

So, haters, keep on saying he’s a douche. Whatever. But I hope you judge yourself with the same myopic gauge to seperate the decent human beings from the turd sandwiches.

Um, first of all, by the time he did the title belt celebration, the Atlanta fans were long gone. Second, he’s been doing the celebration all season. Third, it was in response to John Abraham mockingly doing it towards the Packers. Fourth, who gives a f–k?

So celebrating a touchdown makes one classless? Does he need to run down the field and carry his receivers off on his shoulders so announcers gush about how he’s “just a kid out there” only he’ll need to do the celebration with every team he’s on because it’s become part of his manufactured image and not something that happened organically?
