[QUOTE="weeds, post: 1020855, member: 39"] I heard Rodgers' vague, scattershot inference and Kimmel wouldn't do well in a defamation or libel suit. I can hear Rodgers' defensive response already. He didn't say Kimmel was on the list - he said Kimmel wouldn't like it when the names are released. See ... I don't view Rodgers as "intelligent" and I don't view Kimmel as a comedian. I see Rodgers as a guy hellbent on creating a "brand" for himself and as such, latches on to kook-theories that will have him appear to be set apart and/or superior to others. The man WANTS to viewed as an intellect swimming against the current. Winning a celebrity Jeopardy show and latching on to fringe beliefs while having a microphone and a stage to spew away doesn't make one "intelligent". I believe Rodgers framed up his response to allow himself an exit strategy when another of his adopted theories was blown out of the water. Kimmel is a social satirist/TV host who also has a microphone and a stage - mainly to sell advertising minutes. I've wondered if Rodgers didn't secretly want to needle Kimmel in the hopes that the relationship would then be viewed as the "cute" one Kimmel has with Matt Damon (which is fun back and forth) - let's face it, Kimmel's name recognition is a lot higher than Rodgers' ... so latch onto a star? Make no mistake - #12 is/was an absolute all-time great NFL QB (albeit one who couldn't get out of his own way). Aaron Rodgers, the guy, is positioning himself as a highly paid crack-pot. Kimmel is a TV host who can theoretically influence people's thinking because they're watching TV when they should be getting sleep, sleep deprivation anyone?? ...so that they wouldn't be so easily influenced by a TV personality. Anyway ... EVERYONE seems to have a microphone and stage these days and the general public isn't sufficiently trained/educated to sift through the deluge of pure unadulterated crap that is thrown at us on an hourly basis. I can promise you one thing though -- a dystopian prophet is not capable of influencing my thinking. Although I'm sure Rodgers believes all the crap he's selling, he wouldn't lose a defamation/libel action - one of those "not guilty" versus "innocent" arguments. [/QUOTE]
