There’s no league without leather. Nod at the cow you fucking asshole!

Don’t forget the pigs.

Did you know that the players in the NFL are paid by the team they play for and not by the fans?

Did you know that the teams make all their money from fans? Did you know that the NFL is a product, and that without consumers there is no profit?

And the fans in Green Bay own the team, so there’s also that.

That’s a lie Dio. Stop lying. The teams make billions from advertisers.

Lets go with the most favorable interpretation of your argument and say every cent she’s ever paid to the league went directly to him. That’s a tiny fraction of his salary. However it appears that his work makes up a very large portion of her entertainment. It only seems fair that she owes him more money, or at least a handy.

The teams make their money from TV contracts and corporate sponsorship.

And the Green Bay Packers are owned by their shareholders who invested in it, not all of the fans.

Aaron Rogers really should have nodded at Fox and CBS.

Do you know if she’s a shareholder? Not every Packer fan is a shareholder. In fact, only 112,158 of them are. (I am, but that’s another story.)

Advertisers pay billions because fans watch the product on TV. If there was no audience, there would be no money.

If there was no team there would be no money. Aaron Rodgers pays Aaron Rodgers salary! If it wasn’t for carbon there wouldn’t be an NFL! Carbon pays Aaron Rodgers salary!

She owes him more than he owes her in any case. She should be the one bowing.

[Diogenes_the_Cynic]

No, the fans make him everything he is. Without them, he’s shit.

:nods to everyone in the thread:

Mike Florio, the guy who wrote the piece about Rodgers, apologizes to Rodgers, Jan Cavanaugh, and Packer fans.

:nods again at everyone:

Fuckin’ hell, I’d no idea anyone ever needed a bobblehead doll for medicinal purposes.

Clearly, he should ask for a stock certificate before nodding to anyone.

God, this is tiring. But I don’t want to be a douchebag…

Hey, howcome you didn’t nod at me?

[Telemark]

@Intergalactic_Gladiator

Hey, howcome you didn’t nod at me?

I think this means that you have cancer.

[flickster]

@Diogenes_the_Cynic

Incorrect on both counts. It’s the difference between being a nice guy and being a douchebag.

And if there’s anyone that knows douchebaggery, it’s Dio

[Gangster_Octopus]

At http://profootballtalk.com Mike Florio printed an apology and a mea culpa.

Reality bends around the gigantic Diofield that surrounds you

This part of your sentence really made me chuckle. Thank you for that.
