New York newspapers deliver first (of likely many) Aaron Rodgers covers

Aaron Rodgers intends to play for the New York Jets. The New York newspapers intend to cover big, interesting stories the same way they always do.

Both the New York Post and the New York Daily News have devoted full-page images to the news that Rodgers wants to play for one of the hometown (sort of) teams.

The Post went with a front-page Top Gun parody, giving the new (eventually) Jets quarterback the “Mr. Rodgers” call sign. The Daily News went the vaccination route, choosing the headline “A Real Shot in the Arm.”

(Sure, New York reporters will never ask Rodgers about taking a paycheck from a Big Pharma heir.)

Get ready for more of the same, as the dance between the Packers and Jets continues — and eventually as Rodgers commences his career with the Jets. And if things go well, the covers will be great.

If things go poorly, the covers will be even better.

  2. Thank goodness we have the Internet, so somebody can read the newspapers and tell us if Aaron Rodgers is in them

  3. The headline and cover guys must be licking their chops. In Green Bay a so-so or even subpar outing would be largely ignored with any blame getting spreak out across the whole team. That’s not going to be the case in New York.

  4. Can you imagine if Packers dont get what they want and suddenly decide to back out of the deal? Now those headlines would be epic.

  5. I can see this coming to a screeching halt when the Jets have to go to plan B, whatever that is.

  6. If the packers are holding out for draft picks they are fools. They don’t want him, he does not want them. Move on.

  7. The Packers dont need to give Rodgers away. Leave it to the Jetsies and all of their bizarre unfounded arrogance to do it this way.

    You have a spoiled, narcissist QB who thinks he’s entitled to just being dealt for peanuts and a pathetic franchise on the other side also acting entitled.

    Back up the Brinks truck with the picks, Jetsies. Your move.

    LOL!!!!!

    Sounds exactly like Mac Jones and the Patriots.

  9. Everyone in Michigan, Minnesota, and Illinois doesn’t care. All that matters is HE GONE.

  10. IF things go poorly? There are so many factors to this, it’s the Jets, it’s a mercurial borderline prima Donna who takes everything said about him as an afront versus the New York media, they daytime sports radio… this is going to be hysterical.
