Packers Have Traded Aaron Rodgers To The New York Jets - Page 6

Gentlemen, please! There's perfectly good spots in both Chicago and Wisconsin. Yes there are drawbacks too but not enough to get into a urination contest over. Having lived the majority of my life in both places I can honestly say the worst part about WI is the irrational hate they have for Chicago and the worst part about Chicago is folks looking down on anyone in the area not from Chicago (of which I've been guilty of). The best parts of both areas far outweigh the drawbacks.

I don't have anything nice to say about Rockford. It's basically suburban sprawl coalesced into a city in the middle of farmland. Not rural enough to enjoy a slower pace, not urban enough to enjoy a fast pace.

And Pecatonica is 15 miles (15 mins) to the WI boarder. Would be a fast move for you!

I'm very lucky to have such a genius here on blowout to help me out

Well said, and I will relent after this post. People from WI Hate everything Illinois. And people from IL, just dont care anything about Wisconsin. Which makes them hate us even more.

Happy to help! If you need me to point out where any other podunk towns in the middle of nowhere are, just LMK.

Chicago is a complete joke. Trash city with trash people leading trash people. Carry on.

Says the guy from Michigan. Let us know how Detroit is doing these days. Do they still have to chew their water over in Flint? Hows the poverty rate in Michigan? You all still top 10?

packman80 · 04-26-2023, 12:38 PM

Rodgers will be signing a new contract soon with the Jets.

“The restructure pushed all but the minimum salary and a small workout bonus into 2024, so New York will need to rework it again. Green Bay will carry a roughly $40 million dead cap hit in 2023 and Rodgers will be off the books in 2024.

“By reworking the deal this way, Green Bay saves $14.575M in 2023 cap space instead of getting a credit in 2024. For at least the next couple days, Rodgers is due $1.215 million in 2023 and $107.6 million in 2024. This will obviously change.”

Just parts. Will anyone miss the coast cities when the big one happens and they all slide into the ocean?

I relented on the Wisconsin guy, as he backed off. How could I know someone from a dump like Michigan, would start talking trash?

Seriously, when cities like Detroit declare bankruptcy, how can anyone from that region run their mouths on any other place?

Feel free to look up the worst cities in the us. Michigan owns 30% of the top 10 list.

so many words, yet representing a completely irrelevant ball club.

lambeauleap87 · 04-26-2023, 01:32 PM

Rodgers saying he didn't speak with the Packers all offseason because he doesn't have cell service at home and needs to be FaceTimed instead is, once again, objectively hilarious. Sounds like he's going to keep doing the year-to-year thing in New York, too, but I'll be curious what changes with his new contract.

That is hilarious

!!! What kind of millennial doesn't have cell service at their home?

Guys, come over here! The Detroit Dude wants to talk about irrelevant ball clubs!

I don't think he knows, its been over 30 years since the Lions won a playoff game! Should we tell him, how many teams have gone 0-16? Do you think he knows his team, has never even played in a Super Bowl?

Grid · 04-26-2023, 01:50 PM

Getting back on topic. Since Zach Wilson said he would make any other Jets QB's life hell, if they got added to the squad. Can we all agree, that his mom is a straight hottie?

That might be most pathetic excuse ever. Dude has millions in the bank and can't get working cell service? What's next Rodgers found dead after having an accident and can't call 911 because of no cell service and could not facetime 911?

That depends on how many lakes they have.

How many seasons until he signs with the 9er's?

You say "they" when you mean "we". Stolen Wisconsin is of course "upper" Michigan.
