"Aaron Rodgers hopes the darkness will help him see the light about his future.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback said Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he will embark on a four-day/four-night "darkness retreat" soon after the Super Bowl on Sunday.

"I've got a pretty cool opportunity to do a little self-reflection in some isolation," Rodgers said. "And then after that I feel like I'll be a lot closer to a final, final decision.""

He's a goddamn weirdo.

So are you. So am I. So are most people. And?
Not sure what about him doing this makes him a "goddamn weirdo" any more than players who claim they talked to/with God to help make their career decisions.

I never said those other goddamn weirdos aren't goddamn weirdos too.

There's a big difference.
A lot of Christians are kinda casuals and I'd include a lot of NFL players in this.
They don't go to church more than a couple times a year - but they might pray before a big game or big decision for like two minutes while they got time to waste. Then they do the 'praise God' thing in front of the cameras, to make mom proud. Do they believe in God? Sure. Are they really listening to God to make their decisions? Nah.

Rodgers is a narcissistic cray who thinks he's found some spiritual path to whole being and enlightenment while he's asking to be paid the most money per year of any player in the NFL.

There are many types of crays.

I think, by and large, the "thank my savior, baby Jesus" crays are just...idiots. And part of that is feature, not bug: I think actual critical thinking (about, say, the role a higher power does or does not actually have in the occurrence or non-occurrence of real-life events) is something that is more negative than positive for athletes. They fail all the time as a matter of course. It's very useful, psychologically, to unload a lot of the burden on an enrobed, enbearded dude somewhere in the clouds. This cray is standard issue dumb-jock cray, that goddamn weirdos like Russ take to its end.

Rodgers' cray is not the same cray. Rodgers' cray is the detached-from-reality cray of someone who never suffers consequences, and who has enough money and status that he can reasonably expect to never suffer consequences. This is an elevated cray, shared with fellow goddamn weirdos like Kyrie and Elon and Antonio Brown and (formerly?) Tiger and so on.

On the field/about football I think Mahomes is not an idiot.

Off the field/about everything else I think there is at least a chance he's an idiot. Look at his brother and wife. He chooses to be around them.

In the middle of reading this post, I was going to reply that Rodgers is not all that different than Kyrie. Then you got there on your own. Spot on. It's always the people that think they're smarter than everyone else because they get called out for their dumbass notions.

He is the Kyrie of the NFL.

You don't agree his wife and brother are idiots?
