As a Packer fan this sucks

I trust the NFL will deal with this in their own way and the only thing I know is that some people here won't like whatever they do. THAT you can put money on.

As a Packer fan this hurts, and Aaron doesn't look good at this point. I'll reserve judgment until all the facts come out, but what I think doesn't really matter.

I hope he recovers quickly and can rejoin the team as soon as possible.

and the public image. On the other hand - really kind of seems to be the new normal? I keep pushing back against opinion that they are all thugs and self indulgent pricks .. (because, of course they aren't) But it's becoming an effort. Right?

I'm hoping he didn't lie and it's just another hit piece because nasty Farve was taking food money from the poor and they need a move on story.

5. The spread went from Pick 'em to minus 7.5 K.C. ... more than a touchdown!

Home field advantage and a bye for the playoffs could be at stake.

8. What I've read is that the team knew

and there were rumors around the league that he wasn't vaccinated. So if it's true that the team knew, it was their responsibility to make sure he was masked. But he also interacted with people who didn't know (press people, people on other teams, etc.) and IMO it's scandalous that he behaved like that.

Mike Florio has good info on this...
