    That's what he did. He said 'no interviews'.

    Yeah, but the other way of saying it sounds nicer, and makes it sound like he's giving them credit.

    A guy from the Detroit Sun Times ripped Matthew Stafford for not cheering hard enough for Michigan State. AND he compared Stafford's cheering unfavorably to..... Aaron Rodgers!

    Kelly Hall rips newspaper over Matthew Stafford article

    Christ on a stick, guys, quit writing about the cheering habits of NFL players at college basketball games.

    When the NCAA finally does take away reporters' floor access, which should be soon now, I think they're just going to roll out stories like these one after the other on Twitter. The whole world will be on their side.

    Imagine if Rodgers had whined about not being in Dodd's column from a basketball game.

    I am not even sure how to respond to this... Rodgers didn't tell Dodd in a nice enough way that he wasn't getting an interview?

    And Alma sorta-kinda implying that Rodgers owed Dodd an interview because Dodd is part of the CBS family?

    Someone's taking crazy pills. Hell, maybe its me, because I don't understand half the arguments here.

    Rodgers should have invited Dodd to a free discount double check, and left it at that.

    WTF is the Detroit Sun Times? Is that one of those Aggrego deals? Why yes, yes it is, if the Wrapports logo in the background of the photos of their SIX "contributors" is any clue: Contributors | Detroit Sun Times

    So, no actual trees died to print that, which is a good thing. Just badly-written clickbait aggregation with some hot takes tossed in to liven up the workday.

    They struck SEO gold. That's all that counts.

    Obviously, Aaron Rodgers sucks, but what a non-story this is.

    I'm going to pump YOU up (clap clap). The best of those commercials, by far.

    Did Olivia come on the floor, too, or did A-Rodg have to say, "Wait here?"
