The Green Bay Packers are the least desirable team to play for in the NFL

The Green Bay Packers are a classless organization by cutting Blake Bortles. Probably least desirable team to play for in the NFL, according to Aaron Rodgers, not me, Aaron Rodgers. If you're a free agent listening to the show right now, Will Compton, don't you dare go to the Green Bay Packers because they will mistreat you.

Whether they are the 'least desirable' is a matter of opinion, but Rodgers' press conference did objectively highlight many of these internal issues.

Aaron Rodgers is a diva for returning to the Packers and taking Blake Bortles' job

Aaron Rodgers decided that he was going to be a diva and take Blake Bortles' job. [Bortles] got cut, Aaron Rodgers un-retired. I know deep down I was like he's obviously gonna come back, but I also believed that maybe he would actually retire.

Rodgers did return to Green Bay and Bortles was indeed cut. The characterization of Rodgers as a 'diva' is subjective but widely debated.

Tennis is a lifestyle or a leisure, not a real sport

I would say that tennis is more of an event. Yeah. Tennis is a lifestyle. Not really a sport. If you pick up a sport after you retire, that's not a sport. The thing they always say like, 'Hey, take up golf and tennis because you can play it for your whole life.' Well, that's not a sport. It's a leisure.

This is a hyperbolic, subjective definition of 'sport' used for comedic effect.

Only 4 quarterbacks (Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes, Wilson) deserve to have their organization listen to their input

There's only a few guys [an organization should absolutely listen to]. It's pretty much Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and probably Russell Wilson. Those are the guys right now. One of your top checklists that you check off every day is, 'Is my generational talent quarterback—top five guy who wins us games and makes me look better than I am at my job—is that guy happy?' That should be one of your top things you check off every single day, and the Packers clearly haven't been doing that.

While Mahomes and Rodgers remained elite, Russell Wilson's move to Denver eventually undermined the idea that he was a 'generational talent' worth that level of control. Brady retired shortly after. It remains a subjective ranking of power dynamics.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.
