Why doesn't Aaron Rodgers talk to his family any more?

To her credit, she has improved a lot as an actor. Granted there was much room for improvement when she moved beyond Attack of the Show.

The fourth or fifth lead on an ill-fated TV show isn't a star. It's just an actor. And a mediocre one at that.

Right. She's not a star. So what's the problem?

Maybe his family just sucks.

One of the really impressive things about Aaron Rodgers is just how sharp he is. I've read articles in which he describes exact details of nondescript plays from a HIGH SCHOOL ALL-STAR GAME and play-by-play of his friends' middle-school basketball games. He went on Celebrity Jeopardy last offseason and cleaned up. He is also well known for being thin-skinned about weird stuff, like people who remark that he seems shorter than he looks on TV (He's 6'2"). In short, there's a lot going on above his neck. I don't know what his relationship with Olivia is like or if his family really are greedy ne'er do wells. But even throwing that aside, not only does he have a whole bunch of reasons to have a superiority complex, he's perfectly equipped to remember things like family arguments. I'm guessing the appeals on behalf of his family members via the media are not helping this much.

Aaron Rodgers shows off his photographic memory

And I do not give an airborne fornication, because he basically the sole reason the Packers have been any good for the last two months.

On the other hand, the best player on my favorite baseball team, Justin Verlander, and his family appear to be just fine with SJ.com's Favorite Solid 6. Like I said, though, Rodgers is just strung rather tightly, I think, and has a long memory.

There is compelling evidence that Aaron Rodgers' sensitivity is the source of most of Aaron Rodgers' issues with other people.

I think Munn was one of the worst Daily Show 'correspondents.' She was always as instant channel-changer for me, and I quit watching the show for good around that time. I liked her in what I saw of the Newsroom, but that did seem like a one-note character.

I, @Vombatus, like what I saw of her in Magic Mike, via Celebrity Movie Archive, natch.

That's my RHCP cover band's name.

Early adopter in the Internet hack fame game too. I might be old and senile and forget my kids' names someday, but I'll still remember "lick my tight asshole and choke me." She's one heck of a caption writer.

Um, wait, whut?

Look it up. You won't be disappointed.

Read the Bleacher Report story on Rodgers, then tell me again how he had his head on straight.

What evidence do you have to support that?

Having never met him I have no idea if his head is on straight, and pointed out with the Sharper example that of course we don't really know these guys. I was making the different point that his carefully constructed public image is that of a fairly well-balanced guy who seems like he might actually have read a book or two in his life (quoting St. Francis of Assisi in interviews, for example), doesn't get in trouble, and is seemingly pretty normal apart from other-wordly skills as a quarterback. And this perception, which is hard to keep entirely out of mind even if you're aware that it may have nothing to do with reality, makes the estrangement from his family seem more jarring than it would for, say, Johnny Football.
