[QUOTE="Forget Favre, post: 466316, member: 2006"] Aaron Rodgers deserves credit for having the guts to express himself over these clowns, morons and pond scum as the scab refs while ripping the NFL a new one. (Some were hired from the Lingerie Football League. They couldn't even call a game between 2 year olds!) Right now I respect A-Rod and even Billicheck over others who withheld. Whatever anger and frustration is/was directed at the NFL and the scab refs is well deserved and not worthy of any blame.
