Eh, I do no think Rodgers would have extended the contract under any circumstances if, after Judas siad he retired, said he wanted to go backk and Packers management just said, ok fine. Aaron, sorry we need to take that nod away. You can sit on the bench for another couple of years. WHo knows, maybe Rodgers would windup with the Vikings
This really sucks--and that bastard is the one who is doing it to us, and is not just beating us, we now hold a reverse raffle ticket where if the nubers come up right, our most hated rival finally wins a superbowl. And I am concerned that the Vikings are a Superbowl contender, iff he holds out. The Saints beat a Falcons team that out played themselves. I think the Saints, maybe the Eagles/Giants can legitimately derail the Vikings, In the AFC, Colts, maybe Broncos, Bengals. I do not want to think aboout New England because I hate that team almost as much as the Vikings. Ravens or Steelers or if they get their act together.
Rodgers wouldn't have had much of a choice. After all, try to think back to the times Rodgers was inserted into the role as spot starter: It wasn't pretty. He fumbled like crazy and broke his leg in one instance. So, his services wouldn't have been in such high demand as they would be now, so he would get less money than what the Gray Goose would have given him to ride the pines. Teddy seemed to really fancy Rodgers early on.
Doesn't really matter now because Favre was finished with Green Bay and their nickel-dime approach to running a bidness, so he wouldn't have stayed even if Teddy had apologized for acting like such a buffoon.
