Oh boy. Aaron Rodgers to #Giants' Jihad Ward after he got hit late: "Show some respect. I don't even know who you are."
Rodgers then throws a TD pass and looks for Ward: "Don't poke the bear." |
The Giants players are definitely going to see all this shit talk on Hard Knocks. Sauce with Hyatt, Rodgers here. HBO is understandably trying to make the Jets look good for the show.
I think the October game is going to be a little wild. Rodgers might regret making an enemy with a maniac like Ward.

Wish we could just fast forward two years to the part when Rodgers leaves them without a Super Bowl appearance and Sauce Gardner is demanding a trade over some contract dispute.
And good for Jihad as well.
I'm starting to think the only current QB who could play in any era is Josh Allen.

Same here. If our guy did it there would be 5 posts about it. Good for him for being a competitive a-hole.

Your view about competitive nature is pragmatic, no doubt. However, just watch 10 minutes of Hard Knocks and try to maintain that perspective. The only team that rivals the arrogance of Philly is the NYJ this year.
Pack it in boys, jets are goin all the way. /red
The video is below. I'm not advocating something like this, but if Rodgers wants to continue to play he should be nicer to guys who can easily end his career at this point. I'd love to see Saleh try and corral his guy there, but I doubt that happens. Can you imagine A-Hole mouthing off to the 70s Raiders like that?
Green Bay Packers vs Chicago Bears (11-23-1986) - ( New Window )
You’re right, the exchange is a nothingburger - it’s just the way things go viral nowadays, it’s going to be something Giants players are asked about, etc. Just gets tedious.
Anyway, I thought Ward's comeback was weak lol......but glad he didn't take AR's crap despite it just being an exhibition game. He pushed him, that's part of the game.
A better comeback, rather than Ward claiming he didn't know who Rodgers was would have been "oh, you know who I am, I'll see you soon"..........
Yeah, more the show, it didn’t bother me watching the clip, but Sauce acting like he won those battles with Hyatt irritated me watching tonight. And like you said, it’s from HBO’s lens, but now I am really pumped for the regular season matchup
OP works for HBO
I love Rogers’ competitiveness. It s the kind of things Simms would have done.
If Eli did it , you would love it.
and post season.
For non-Giants fans, this might be Ward's 15 minutes of fame.

Yeah these comments make me laugh, he has elite post season production. Kinda hard to win superbowls. Very few have done it more than once and some that have played poorly.

I don't understand how that perception perpetuates seemingly smart people.
Rodgers has a SB win and a SB MVP and a Post-season QB Passer Rating higher than Tom Brady (and Eli, and Big Ben, and Peyton - just comparing him to QBs with multiple SB wins).
Sometimes they face the wrong type of team come playoff time and maybe not as great when most needed.
Plenty of examples of this in every decade and reinforces how important the team concept is. Doesn't mean the QB is not great.

So when they win, it's the team around them, but when they lose it's the QB?
That does seem how it lives in people's minds.
Mahomes teams have already lost two home conference championships and he is shaping up to be the best playoff QB of all time.
In some of your minds it seems like the QB would be better off if their team had a mediocre regular season and just skate into the playoffs so they could go on the road. This way you wouldn't ding them personally as coming up small in the post-season as a favored playoff team because they were so dominant in the regular season that they get top seeds and home games.
However, two things were utter bullshit and simply low class.
1. As others have pointed out...telling Ward he has never heard of him? Scumbag shit right there. Rodgers seemed perfectly fine to me throughout the series up until that shit. Fuck off with that cocky BS.
2. Showing the NYJ first teams, mentioning it was the first team, and not mentioning the fact it was against NYG second team players. Be factual and the fans will respect your show more.
Rodgers is one of the best QBs I have ever seen. I actually think he's underrated overall vis-a-vis other great QBs.
But his recent playoff performances are a real blemish considering the home field advantages he's had. Some things have been out of his control, but a lot has been in his control. Even in the final regular season game at home last year against Detroit, with a playoff spot on the line, Rodgers couldn't find his magic.
I hope he delivers with NYJ. But it's going to be a real test watching him deal with new surroundings and an OL in flux.
The bigger issue was the cheap ass shot on McCain and the talk in their huddle after. I would think Cobb would be in for some hits in October, if he made the team.
Fuck Rodgers, too.
You have a offense led by a "great" QB who puts up 400 (or more) yards in season with 30 points (or more) all of a sudden be far below that in a playoff game or SB.
I think when you look at those situations the issue was more than just the QB in the loss. Same as with the regular season success and all those wins.
Reinforces the team concept.
