Aaron Rodgers on the point of catastrophe | Trash Talkin’ Tuesday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s say \u2014 and that is purely hypothetical \u2014 that we simply stopped masking Rodgers<\/a><\/span>. Figuring out the way to make up for the loss in site visitors could be tough, however I\u2019m assured we may Moneyball<\/em> our option to make up the distinction by way of slideshows, Scott Hatteberg, and different loopholes. Obviously, it\u2019d be tough to cowl the Jets<\/a><\/span> if we went via with it, but it\u2019s the fucking Jets, in order that wasn\u2019t a deal breaker. <\/p>\n

Of course, my editors pushed again and pushed again after initially refusing to even entertain the prospect in any respect. Lo and behold, months later, they relented, and it solely took me begging inside an inch of my job like 73 occasions.<\/p>\n

So, with out additional ado, it\u2019s my excessive pleasure to announce to you, the web, that Deadspin has put a protection pause on Rodgers. That\u2019s proper A-A-Ron, go fuck your self. You\u2019re not fascinating, neither is Pat McAfee<\/a><\/span>, and at last, we\u2019re in a position to higher make the most of our work days as an alternative of vomiting up 200 phrases each time Rogers will get indigestion. <\/p>\n

Yes, this is absolutely an internet stunt. There\u2019s an iota of journalistic integrity to it, but the crux of what we\u2019re doing was taken from the Rodgers playbook. And that is, when in doubt, concoct unrelenting, unapologetic ploys for attention. And what better way to do that than to ride the fumes of the most obnoxious, most visible athlete\/storyline out right now? <\/p>\n

We\u2019re not ESPN or The Athletic, and as a result, our commitment to the bit can be greater than our commitment to covering Rodgers. Could this turn into a three-month shun with occasional unshun-reshun headlines for the big stories to \u201cdo our job\u201d but be a dick about it? Yeah, that\u2019s probably what\u2019s going to happen. Ideally, we\u2019re able to hold off breaking the seal as long as possible, or at least until the threat of termination turns into a promise of dismissal. <\/p>\n

The best way to temper an egomaniac is to slap them with silence. It\u2019s an Amish technique. I was shunned from age four until my sixth birthday for not saving the excess oil from a can of tuna. And look at how I turned out. Yes, I\u2019m mildly self-absorbed, but at least I have some semblance of self-awareness. <\/p>\n

Speaking of which, my self-aggrandization alarm has been buzzing for the past couple of paragraphs, so I\u2019m going to wrap this up. You see that, Rodgers? Less is more \u2014 and hopefully what we\u2019re not saying about No. 12 speaks volumes as it relates to how much ink this jackass deserves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
