PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers doesn’t need to keep doing this. He knows that.
The four-time NFL MVP’s decision to return for a 21st season and to do it in Pittsburgh was not about trying to prove something to himself, the New York Jets or anyone else.
The game has given a lot to him. Stardom. Wealth. A title. Relationships that will last long after he decides to stop playing. The next seven months — if they are indeed the last seven months of a career that almost certainly will end with a gold jacket and a bust in the Hall of Fame — are about trying to pay it forward while finding peace in the process.
LOL, Rodgers has managed to gaslight himself into thinking Pittsburgh actually wanted him rather than scraping his bum ass off the scrap heap.
It figures that he’s QAnon.
