Breaking news – “subject of 60 Minutes piece not happy with portrayal”, “water is wet”, “fire is hot”

Rodgers complaining about ommission of charity leads to publicity about said charity. Done and done. Everybody wins. Moving on.

Some of Rodgers supporters just don’t get it. Charity work is NOT interesting to watch on television. The fact that he would rather have CBS focus on his charity work rather than a player profile in which you truly learn about someone is annoying. I like the fact that 60 Minutes included his sensitive personality, along with the reasons why he’s playing with a chip on his shoulder. It makes for great television and shows that Rodgers is a human being. What’s wrong with that? So Packers fans, please stop with the drama that Vikings and Bears fans are using this opportunity to bash Rodgers. The Vikings and Bears have NOTHING to do with this story. It’s only Rodgers and yourselves who are looking foolish for making this story continue.

If he wants to just get word out about his charity then simply do a press release. It’s been know for the past 30 years that when 60 Minutes comes knocking at your door you run the other way, not sit down and do an interview with them. If this came as a shock then it’s his own damn fault. Again, if you have an agenda and want a message to get out, you do a press release, not an interview.

oh please u guys just LOVE any reason 2 hate on the guy….I’m a steelers fan….I watched the clip and AR came off as a very likable guy with a good sense of humor….it is sad that they decided to NOT highlight his charity……60 Minutes should be ashamed of themselves but seriously it is 60 Minutes….they lost ALL credibility years ago with the “Insider”…..and most peeps on here would kill to have him as their QB…..sheesh!!!

Rodgers may not set as many records as Favre, but he doesn’t make nearly many stupid throws as Favre. Any QB not named Favre would have been crucified for the mind-melting INTs Favre was famous for, but because it was Favre, he always got a pass.

Rodgers already has one SB ring, and the potential for more.

Have fun ripping on him for something that doesn’t matter at all. You guys will grab a hold of and hang on to anything you can with this guy, because you sure as heck can’t rag on him for anything he does on the field because it’s darn near flawless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Exactly… which is why it’s so disappointing that 60 minutes couldn’t at least give a mention to the MACC Fund, which is one of the better charities around.

AR gets it… too bad the likes of you don’t get it.

Aaron Rodgers is a big fat cry baby whiner that stands in front of the mirror every day telling himself over and over that he is better than Brett Favre.

I was there day 60 Minutes was recording those interviews and had the pleasure of meeting Aaron Rodgers.After watching the 60 Minutes program recently I felt they DID take him out of context somewhat. I felt they were trying to show how uncomfortable Aaron is in public appearances. They got that message through. What they FAILED to convey is what a nice, classy, down to earth person Aaron is. How refreshing. The fame has not gone to his head. Not at all. He’s just like you and I. He just wants to be treated like a real person, a friend, with good values in life, and when you don’t do thatyou call him “sensitive”.I have met plenty of celebrities. Some I wish I had not after meeting them. Pompous jerks who put themselves above others. Certainly not Aaron Rodgers. He grew up middle class and his personality has stayed that way. He does not want to be treated like a “God” or put on a pedestal. He wants to be himself. It’s just that some people won’t let him. Those that bash him on this blog don’t understand him. You just wish you could be like him. A REALLY classy nice guy. I’m SO PROUD to have him as the QB of my team!!!

Who cares about Rodgers. Yes he plays the game good but he is no Bree’s or Brady or manning. He had two good years. He has to do that every year consistently to be Among those guys. And he is so full of himself. Actually you know am what separates those guys from him Brady Bree’s and manning are never the reason there team losses But I have seen plenty of games that Rodgers poor performance was the deciding factor. And I don’t want to take anything away from Rodgers but this guy is a self centered jerk

Rodgers needs to shut up. Much like Drew Brees, I didn’t mind jim until he started feeling the need to give his opinion on everything. Play the game, do your commercials and be quiet !

He IS better than Favre. All you have to do is watch him NOT throwing stupid INT’s to see that. Anyone who still says Favre is better than Rodgers either has a weird thing for Favre or they don’t know anything about football.

Any team would be thrilled to have Aaron Rogers as their QB. He’s a class act and a beast, just the combination needed to be a team leader. Doesn’t 60 minutes have some soap to sell?

Maybe Aaron Rodgers has a point. 60 Minutes is awful. A couple of weeks earlier before the Rodgers story, I didn’t like the way that 60 Minutes portrayed Jacksonville in an interview with Jags owner Shad Khan.

I’d be a little “sensative” too. They do a whole peice about him and they left out the most positive thing outside of football that he does. He just said he was dissapointed.

I agree that 60 Minutes should have included at the very least a short clip about the cancer charity, although more because it is an opportunity to provide some tremendous free exposure to an organization that could really use it.
To me, that’s more important than the perceived disrespect Rodgers felt was directed towards him.
