She goes to another high school

They met at Niagara Falls. You wouldn't know her.

"Now I'm with somebody who's private, who doesn't want to be in the public eye, didn't sign up to be a celebrity, doesn't want to be part of it," Rodgers said June 24. "And because I do things in private because I want my personal life to be private and now I'm somehow weird and now the paparazzi is stalking me on the beach trying to get a picture of her, stalking me in the workout. What is the entitlement to information that where we're living in society these days?"

Yes.  He is being held against his will doing the Pat McAfee show every week.  He hates publicity and does not want to be a part of it.  He even says he'll play 1 more year of football and nobody will ever hear from him again.

Also particularly rich coming from someone who spent the last 10 years before he got to the Jets dating multiple celebrity women and having their relationship in the public eye.

The vast majority of star NFL QBs, not named Tom Brady or Josh Allen, date and marry normal non famous women.  He's created an entirely fake narrative to support his faux need for privacy.  Totally on par for twilight of his career Aaron.

He's never gotten over being rejected by Packer fans and not getting the Jeopardy gig.  He thought when his team leaked a trade request before the '21 draft he'd get the Dongslinger treatment from fans that he saw in 2008.  When the majority of Packer fans shrugged their shoulders and said, "well, bye", it sent him into this tailspin.  Couple that with his lying about being vaccinated instead of being honest about it and getting called out, it was over for him and his ego.

All his actions are overcompensation at this point.  He's trying to control the narrative by pretending he doesn't care about publicity and being loved.  He went from a surefire TV personality in retirement (I'd argue he'd have had an opportunity to have a career like Strahan and Burleson) to being a pariah.  He won't take any responsibility and instead will portray himself as a victim of cancel culture.

Really, it's an amazing character study of an individual.  Could have been Manning or Brady, but instead is a nobody.

Anyway, is this a Manti Teo marriage?  Or, speaking of hostages, does he keep her locked up in their house, not allowed to see daylight anywhere?  Cameras are everywhere.  If they've gone out in public anywhere there would be pictures of them together somewhere.

And if Mrs. Te'o is such a private person who isn't even on social media, why would she marry a guy who needs public adoration every day?

I don't know. Some very smart dentists told me that he was going to win big since they finally will let him pick his teammates. I'm sure that will happen someday.

Of all the qqqqqq takes, his Rodgers doesn't like the attention take was one of his greatest hits

[GB Warrior]

Aaron's new teammates looked a lot like his old teammates. Where are the odds his wife looks suspiciously like Danica Patrick

[Pakuni]

The Steelers seem determined to have the most mercurial team in the league.

I don't know what the Packers intend to do with Elgton's contract but they should do it soon

[Shaka Shart]

The Pablo Torre reporting on the NFLPA is absolutely insane. The NFL is shameless

Injury parade continues for Detroit.  Onwuzurike with ACL surgery.

Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins according to ESPN.

More of that classic limited government conservatism I hear so much about

[MU82]

The Athletic wisely disabled the comments section to its article about the situation.

It would have been "lively."

Jingling keys to distract the infants.

At least he's consistent and using correct grammar.

Washington Foreskins and 7 years ago

Washington Confederates, soon to play in Robert E. Lee Stadium.

Not being able to buy Chief Wahoo apparel anymore is an attack on my white personhood

I prefer the Washington Lynch Mob.

My white heritage is on the outs and needs to be restored.

Just call them the Rockets

Dentists?

[WhiteTrash]

I'm still guilty of calling them the Redskins sometimes because it is not that important to me.
It should be far, far less important to the President. Let a private business call themselves whatever they want. He needs to grow up. (understatement of the year?)
