What’s weird about what Rodgers has said is he’ll make his decision BEFORE free agency starts, so I assume he’ll be given handshake assurances on the team’s direction, which of course can’t necessarily be guaranteed. So if he likes what he hears and stays put, then things don’t exactly fall the Packers’ way in FA, will all the drama just start over again?

Women be nagging their 45-year old millionaire husbands.

pretty sure she was affluent prior to their getting together

#LetTomPlay

Ah, the blame the girlfriend/wife for a great player’s reluctant exit from the game he loves theory. A classic.

Sometimes it do be like that tho.

Sure, but to speculate in that manner is a slippery slope these days.

Deanna Favre was certainly whispered about plenty across the state of Wisconsin. Then of course whomever Rodgers’ girlfriend was if he played a bad game.

To be clear, I am joking about Tom Brady's wife controlling his career. I do think that, in response to Joe saying he'd be shocked if Brady retires, it's relevant to mention how Brady and his wife have been public about her desire for him to retire. She doesn't control him but obviously that's going to be a factor.

If I were his wife, I'd also want him to retire... but then again, if I were Hitler, I'd have had Hitler's thoughts and desires too... so, ... irrelevant I guess

The tree_ account is a national treasure.

Would Hitler want Tom Brady to retire?

I think it's pretty clear Hitler would want Brady to run it back one more time.

Would a gazelle want Tom Brady to retire...?

i can't believe that gazelle left the house without pants.

would Tom Brady do that?

imagine being a man gazelle

so emasculating

Oh has she? I haven't seen any of that. But that's not stuff that's usually on my radar. Seems weird though since he said from the jump he wanted to play until he was 45. Seems like something she should have been prepared for. If she really is pressing him now. Which I can't confirm or deny.

maybe he'll retire and decide to take over for eric ripert..

she probably wants to move to another country because america is ridiculous

Hey!

not a bad idea

I once went to a talk that was all about the alt-right's embrace of Tom Brady and Riefenstahlian imagery in some of his Underarmor commercials. Fun stuff!
