I hear ya. I have both Rodgers and A Jones going; hoping for repeat of Week 3. I hate Thursday night games.

My only alternative is Derek Carr who has a bye….or I could get Mike White or Case Keenan off of waivers.

I VERY CLEARLY remember him saying he was vaccinated: am I hallucinating this? I'm not trying to start something that results in a thread irrationally getting moved to another subforum, but yeah this is some ####.

I believe he was a little cagey and said he was “immunized” or something in an interview I remember.
Maybe that means he had Covid but didn’t get the jab.

I had the same thought. Maybe we just assumed it because he seems like the kind of guy who would be?

He said he was “immunized” when asked about being vaccinated. He is such an unlikeable person. Best passer in history of the nfl but just an unlikeable dude.

I’ve heard this from another source. It is a reliable source. Rodgers is definitely not vaccinated.

See this is what I was confused at. Why would he be out? He just needed 2 negatives 24 hours apart as a vaccinated player. That's why I thought "wait, maybe there's a complication it he's showing symptoms they are worried about" and was looking for medical complications when that other tweet came out. Oh boy...

He wasn’t vaccinated. End of sentence. He deliberately misled people about his vaccination status.

The NFL is definitely going to look into this, that means he's been lying and doing the wrong protocols this whole time unless Green Bay was also in on it. We might be looking into a fine/possible suspension.

I'm sure he's not vaccinated.
I assume it won't matter for his playing status. I've yet to see a vaccinated person return as quickly as he'd have needed to this Sunday and looks like he's barely going to beat the 10 day window to play in week 10 in what could be both the Rodgers and Wilson return game.

I agree. He’s potentially out for 2 weeks, poor choice for the team by A-aron. Just telling you what I think he will say.
Immunized is a deliberate choice of words rather saying vaccinated.

All we know right now is that he misled reporters. With the team/league, he wouldn't have been able to just say he was "immunized". He would have had to show proof of vaccination
Ha, they don't just take players words for it, they got to show proof of vaccine. So unless he used a forged vaccination copy he was not lying.

It has to be kind of exhausting at this point. As great as he is I imagine people are just over it with him.

Man that sucks for you.
This was actually one of the rare times when I heard impactful NFL news my first thought was not the impact to my fantasy teams but that we were all going to miss out on a great matchup, and that's just to watch it on TV.

I think Joe isn't going to let a lot of the posts continue unless it's speficially about Rodgers, so I commented about some of the other stuff in the NFL and COVID-19 thread.

Tons of conjecture and speculation, BUT I think players had to provide proof, and thought they had certain rules in place like colored wrist bands for example.
If Rodgers wasn’t vaxed it would have been obvious from this stuff, right? Unless he provided fake docs.
I can’t remember how much camp he missed or what the Pack / teams do to identify non-vaxed players.

If there is one positive it’s that Love will get game action. I want to see something out of him.

I am old enough to remember similar feeling about Favre
people were so ready to be done with him…
ignatiusjreilly

And if he did forge it, why admit it now?
Most likely scenario is that he misled reporters but the team has known his status all along

HIs full quote:
"Yeah I've been immunized." he said. "There's guys on the team that haven't been vaccinated and it's personal decision, not going to judge those guys."
The second part would assuredly make it seem like he's vaccinated, regardless of what word he used.

Why mislead reporters if you have to wear the colored wristband anyway? Seems weird...
I don't think he'd admit it either, so unless they had reason to investigate him similar to the NHL player no one would likely know. Also we'd likely be hearing talk of suspension if it was known he submitted fake card.
I agree with what you say is the most likely scenario but my only question on that is I thought non-vaxxed have to wear masks indoors. Has Rodgers been doing that?

At some point during my childhood, I decided I would never fall back on the "What I said was technically not a lie" excuse. Outside of sworn testimony, the only reason not to lie is because you have a moral code against it. And if that's the case, how is it any better morally speaking to say something intended to give someone a false impression? Why even bother? If you're going to lie, then just lie. Don't mislead people and pretend you're any better based on a technicality.
