Aaron Rodgers: “I know I’m not an epidemiologist. I’m not a doctor. I’m not an immunologist. Whatever the f**k, I can read though. I can learn and look things up like any person. I can do my own research… but that was the game plan back then.”

TRANSLATION:

"I admit to not being an expert or even being close to understanding science. However, I have the freedom to selectively search for debunked pseudo-science and conspiracy theory articles written by nutjobs...and take that as truth. I don't care about the spread of mis-information either."

Rodgers publicly pleads with his NYJ teammates to lock in on football and not let outside distractions interfere with the business of winning NFL games…all the while going on Pat McAfee Monster Energy Drink lowest common denominator bro culture show, or flirting with political campaigns with crackpots.

Aaron Rodgers, to me, is an excellent downside example of a Berkeley education. Just sayin', Charlie

You're assuming star QBs actually go to classes. Or to classes that have any actual, you know...knowledge and stuff.

Except he doesn't associate himself with Berkeley.

Any assumption that being a quality athlete AND having good reasoning skills should be thoroughly debunked by now. McAfee even tossed Rogers off his show because he thought Rogers' incendiary (read loopy) pronouncements (Aaron's petty, vicious and libelous attacks on Jimmy Fallon, e.g.) might get the program sued. And McAfee's willing to be edgy. So...Wow.
