Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Blasts Some NFC Pro Bowl Teammates

Aaron Rodgers isn’t happy with his teammates, no, he’s not upset with fellow players on the Green Bay Packers. He is disappointed with those who were with him on the NFC Pro Bowl team. The AFC triumphed 59-41 on Sunday in the all-star game in Hawaii and in a game that’s known for players taking it easy, Rodgers believes some guys took it too easy, way too easy. “I was just surprised that some of the guys either didn't want to play or when they were in there didn't put any effort into it,” Rodgers said in a visit with ESPN Milwaukee and Jason Wilde this afternoon. Rodgers went on to say he was “disappointed in the lack of pride” shown by some NFC players in the game. It’s a little surprising to hear a player speak out about the game like this, but Rodgers has a point and it’s a good one, fans were booing during portions of the game because of the lack of effort, if they’re going to put pads and helmets on and they’re going to play, then play football.

It was a fuckin joke. He has every right to be mad..think about the fans perspective once. How much did those pro bowl tickets cost? Unless they were $10 tickets id be pissed at the lack of effort too. You pay to see them play - they should at least get off the line of scrimmage. Rodgers is just saying what everyone else was already thinking in the sports world. Yes it is a meaningless game...but if they dont want to play, then let the fucking younger players take your spot.

Just a dog & pony show to sell a few more tickets/ merchandise & 1 last chance for the bookies to make some money.

Strange outburst there, Rodgers.

If someone expects a real footballgame, he must be dumb. The PB is a boring borefest for years now, and won't change in the near future
