Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers has reportedly emerged from his darkness retreat, throughout which period he mirrored on his life, his profession, and the possibility of making a film about his darkness retreat. Rodgers mentioned he would let the world find out about his resolution to play or retire in 2023 after rising from the delicate cocoon of enlightenment (endarkenment?). Which makes this video posted by former NFL vast receiver Brandon Marshall to his Instagram tonight actually awkward.
“So I needed to be the primary to say, ‘Salute to Aaron Rodgers for an exceptional profession.’ You’re one of many biggest,” Marshall tells the digicam. “Me personally? You’re my favourite quarterback ever. Favourite. Aaron Rodgers, congratulations on an exceptional profession. You received a Tremendous Bowl…hell, I by no means even make it to the playoffs.

And if that’s how Tom Brady reacted to getting scooped about his personal retirement, picture how nicely Aaron Rodgers, Mr. Essential Thinker himself, goes to deal with it. Can’t wait to listen to what Joe Rogan thinks of all this.
