LEAVE AARON RODGERS ALONE!

All week, all fucking week, the question was tossed around ESPN. "Should Aaron Rodgers play?" NEVER in my life have I ever heard such a silly discussion. Should an injured athlete play, because he replaced somebody that played in a lot of games. When every other athlete IN THE FUCKING UNIVERSE gets hurt, nobody says they should or shouldn't play based on what their predecessor did. When Babe Dahlgren took over for Lou Gehrig, would there have been an uproar in New York if Dahlgren had gotten hurt and took a day off? When Tony Batista replaced Cal Ripken Jr, were Baltimore fans expecting to see him play every day?



This is just another example of the Brett Favre worship in the national sports media that's become as funny as it is enraging. He's made 257 starts in a row, the most for a QB (not the most in NFL history, defensive end Jim Marshall played in 282 straight games, and made 270 straight starts. Punter Jeff Feagles has played in 321 straight games).



People will give Aaron Rodgers shit if he doesn't play this afternoon. I guess they want him to be more like Brett, pop a couple dozen painkillers, then go out and play. If there's any streak that needs an asterisk next to it, it's Favre's consecutive starts streak. Or at the very least, the record for consecutive starts should be jointly held by Brett Favre and vicodin.

People need to stop being retarded Brett Favre worshipping ball washers. Face it, he's overrated. And whether or not Rodgers plays should have nothing to do with the former quarterback in Green Bay. If he's seriously hurt, he shouldn't play. Not all of us can be like Brett Favre, and not all of us like vicodin.
