Kolek planning to go pro
So if the report out there is true, Rodgers would really boycott the Super Bowl?This is exhausting at this point.
He's not boycotting the Super Bowl. Cmon...
Rumors of the NFL's demise have been greatly exaggerated.Of the 100 most watched television broadcasts in 2021, 75 of them were NFL games.https://twitter.com/SharpFootball/status/1479526409462857728/photo/1
I don’t think he would boycott the Super Bowl, that was why I included a ? at the end of my thought in my post.It is exhausting though that this is either made up, or on the rare chance that there’s any legitimacy to this. Maybe it’s because I’m invested in Rodgers MVP futures and I want the white noise to go away for a few weeks.

Doubt it's true. But in the highly unlikely event that it is true, the NFL would shrug its collective shoulders and say, "OK then ... see you next season. Or not."With or without Aaron Rodgers, the Super Bowl will be TV's most-watched event in 2022. There will not be 10 people who were gonna watch it anyway who won't watch if AR skips it. Heck, one could argue that AR not playing would add to the game's drama and bring even more eyeballs.Given AR's W/L record in the playoffs (and especially in NFC title games) over the last decade, I hope for my Packer-fan friends that AR doesn't "boycott" one of the games leading up to the Super Bowl.
Yeah, I don't think the NFL would just shrug if the probable MVP of their league decided not to play in the Super Bowl. And I don't think viewership would go up if he decided not to play, either.He's 11-9 in the Playoffs. All of 7 quarterbacks in the history of the sport have won more Playoff games than Rodgers as a starter. His Playoff winning percentage is right there with Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Steve Young, Brett Favre, Russell Wilson, Ben Rothlisburger, etc.
Given AR's W/L record in the playoffs (and especially in NFC title games) over the last decade, I hope for my Packer-fan friends that AR doesn't "boycott" one of the games leading up to the Super Bowl.
