      Folks hate on him because the media hates on him. The media hates on him for the reasons given in the beginning of this video. He was/is PRIVATE about his private life. His close circle doesn't talk to media, so there are never stories to break on him, so they have to fabricate and speculate on it.

      @R6-J4 the reason why the Diva thing started was because Greg Jennings got a spot on ESPN and hated on Aaron and ESPN ran with it (outside of S.A.S). Call me crazy, but 1-2 WRs bashing their QB out of the damn near hundreds he had is a low freaking number and shouldn't hold any merit.

In terms of football, on the field he does not seem to channel his emotions and energy as productively as he could; and that as a fan I'd like to see a bit more of his "potential" met in terms of "leadership. . But if those are not a priority with him and having a different insight is, so be it.. In terms of mostly telling things like they are and being an advocate for listening and considering other points of views - I'm with him 110%.

    I grew up a Packer fan. My parents both went to UW Oshkosh so I was always among Packer, Badger, and Brewer fans. I watched a lot of Favre and still have memories of the '97 Super Bowl at a big party we went to and how exciting it was. But most of my football memories were in the late Favre and all of Rodgers career. He's been a leader and hero of this team for years and he deserves to be heard and respected in the sport's sphere. He's still just a man and wants to decide his own life on his his own terms. Rodgers and GB fan for life. I'll always cheer on the Pack and I will always root for Rodgers in whatever he does.

No amount of meditation or darkness or ayahuasca can change that about him. Hopefully Favre ends up in prison too.

      The general public shames him because major media outlets paint this negative narrative. What I don’t understand is Aaron is willing to listen, learn about himself, take a deeper dive into thought rather than believing the first thing he hears, which personally I think everyone should do more of. He has a tremendous mindset when it comes to deeper thinking and doesn’t deserve the hate he receives. If everyone did this the world might be a better place.

I have never wanted to meet a football player or "star" in my life, but he is someone that I would like to. As much as I can without knowing him as an individual, there is plenty of love for that man. Either way, if he wants to play or retire, I would be excited to see what comes next.

    It’s funny, people say they want public figures to be more genuine. Here’s this guy being as genuine and vulnerable as you can be, and there are people who hate him for it. He’s publicly examining his own existence beyond the material things while acknowledging the separate importance of the tangible things in his life, like his profession. These are the things we all grapple with as we move forward in the phases of our lives. To want to be able to identify and speak to those aspects of the human condition isn’t crazy or aloof. It’s about recognizing and appreciating your existence. Sadly, it’s understandable that a lot of people really are caught up in constructs, insecurities, and outside perceptions. We’re not necessarily taught to think any differently. There would be great societal benefits to people being guided to be introspective, thoughtful, mindful, and inquiring.

    Considering that many retired players say they miss “the locker room” and “miss the guys (player friends)” I would expect it to be a really tough decision for any player to walk away from the game. While the season is a grind it is also intertwined with what so players love the most - competing with your teammates. Nothing can replace that so you’d better really be ready to say goodbye to it. I don’t think Aaron is done playing but yet I can also see him experiencing a new team situation and whatever that experience may bring.

    It's hilarious to me how so many people judge a man who's just trying to be a better him. It must be difficult being so perfect that you feel obligated to judge others. Life is about making mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. It is how you handle them and correct yourself, that matters.

    Just a couple hours ago I was thinking about how Arods experience in the 4 days of dark went. I even talked to my girl about his multiple ayawaska sessions and how he was back to back MVP in his mid 30s after taking ayawaska and then I was explaining how hes leveling up with the 4 days of darkness. She's not a big sports fan but she instantly became a fan of him and when this interview popped on my algorithms I was so excited to see how happy and at peace he is. I can't wait to watch again with my girl after we are done workings

    Hello Aaron (and Aubrey!),
    I know you'll probably never read this, but I wanted to say: (whether it goes to you, a publicist, or just the universe) you're words about football and life being inseparable to you (yet for many years you fought against that due to worries of perception and that you didn't want to be defined as one thing, or that your value was permanently tied solely to the sport).... All those things, ALL of them, spoke to me. Even though I'm someone who never played NFL football, never even played D1 football, I still felt the same thing - that you were speaking a version of my own experience.
    Growing up in high school, excelling both as an athlete and academically, I felt a similar identity crisis that continued into college. It only got worse as I wanted to become a teacher and coach. My inner dialogue became "Well, you shouldn't go to MSU, the college you have rooted for and wanted to go to your whole life, because then people won't know you were smart enough/got accepted to UofM and Northwestern." Or "You can't be a teacher, the thing you've wanted your whole life, because people perceive teachers as not as smart as an engineer or doctor, and those jobs make more money, so people will see you as a failure." Or "You shouldn't be a football coach, because then everyone will see you as that History teacher/football coach stereotype of a middle-aged man who is a dick, not in touch with emotions, forces his own kids to play, and someone who cares more about winning a dumb high school game than the kids/players themselves." Or my mother, sitting me down, crying, and saying, "You are so much smarter than I was, you got a 34 on your ACT, you have so much more you could accomplish- a doctor or surgeon... but you want to end up as *just* a football coach in the same town you grew up in."
    I spent 2 and a half entire years after getting my degree and certification unemployed, depressed, not coaching or teaching (not applying to jobs, saying "No" to offers to coach) drinking alone and not telling my wife, consumed by the idea that I *was* a failure (I was proving that to myself everyday), and that voice in my head was right, and the same voice saying maybe I should just end it all.
    Until football literally saved me. I started coaching again and it got me out of my depression, because I was back to doing something I loved and HELPING other people. I took on the responsibility to help these kids, the way coaches had helped me (to be mentally strong, physically healthy, loving and relying on my teammates who become my closest friends, and being a part of accomplishing something bigger than just I can do on my own).
    Even once I got a teaching job at the school where I was coaching (yes, the thing I love the most in life, teaching, was also a gift tied to football), I felt these thoughts creep back in. That voice had been hiding in the recesses of my mind, but turns out it wasn't gone, just hiding for the right opportunity. Teachers would jokingly say: "Well don't feel nervous about losing your job, you're a football coach, this district would never fire you." I didn't want to be seen as a meat-head/heteronormative/unintellectual dude who was only teaching because I wanted to coach football (or that I only wanted to coach football because I never made it as a player and live vicariously through players). Or my fear that my students would just see me as any other cliche football coach& History teacher (in that order).
    As my friends become engineers and doctors, I felt the negative thoughts of "You could've done that! You sure this was the best choice? You sure you're going to be okay with your small salary? If you invest more of yourself into this (teaching and coaching), and the more you truly believe it to be important, the more it becomes a part of your identity.... And I couldn't possibly have my identity be teacher & coach! I'm better/smarter/more sophisticated than that!"
    Listening to your podcast yesterday led me to reflect on how far I've come to push down those negative thoughts, but how I am holding on to them still. Seeing your honesty, growth, and vulnerability, even though you're Aaron fucking Rodgers, who is on the Mt Rushmore of NFL QBs, showed and inspired me that I can do the same. I realize now, that all the things football and teaching have brought me are reason enough to jump in even more with passion, conviction, and love, and that these things ARE important, and have brought me the things that I love the most in life. Being a teacher and coach gives me the opportunity to inspire young people to become adults; it allows me to provide the same blessings and relationships I had growing up, cultivating the sort of positive environment that made me the man I am today.
    I realized I can be at peace with knowing: the things that allow me to have the most impact and help others (coaching and teaching) are the things that bring me the most joy, pride, peace, understanding, and love. And I am proud if that is my identity, and I have no reason to feel shame for that anymore.
    Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone and bearing the burden of most people not understanding - them seeing you as whatever *insert mean tweet here*. I hope you know, you have helped at least one person remove the baggage of shame I've been carrying for decades, and inspired me to jump in more completely to the things I love and ways I can help others, and that includes my love of Football.
    Love, from a random dude in Michigan you'll never meet,
    Matt

    Lolll, im not a packers fan but thru PMS, rogan and aubrey shows its hard not to be a fan of the dude.. and it makes me giggle that while the whole NFL media world is basically waiting for Aaron’s decision, he goes on Aubrey’s podcast to discuss his darkness retreat & god knows what other weird topics and the fact that the NFL media circuit will 100% be using this pod to try to spin a “story” is hilarious to me because the way they respond will likely be a perfect illustration of even sports media being so obnoxiously reliant on clickbait.. they HAVE to report something! Even tho no report matters once he actually makes his decision publicly..
    Because of this reliance on bullshit content to fill the offseason downtime, now they have to report on (and give uneducated opinions on, in many cases) topics like ayahuasca, darkness retreats, big pharma abuses and really whatever aaron wants to feed em.
    Plus 2 years of going on mcafee recommending some pretty solid spiritual/though provoking books to a bunch of meatheads (to be clear i say this in the most loving way, i love Pat and the gang)
    low key id almost go as far as to say Rodgers out here running reverse psy-ops to counteract the blatantly obvious ones the gov and media have been running for years if not decades

      Yeah my guess is he will continue to play. For two years now i have felt he will go to the raiders. I lived in WI my whole life, so selfishly i hope he comes back but i think he knows they kind of want to go in another direction much sooner than later. Upon thinking more about it, i dont know if vegas is a place he would want to live for the season but i could be wrong. Either way, ill be rooting for him to get another chip and more importantly be content with whatever his decision is.

    I learned to meditate in a Texas prison. Upon release, part of the conditions of my release was a unfavorable UA I would have to do an automatic 5 years. The insanity of addiction is such that I started using again, despite these potential grave consequences. I contacted a Vipassana center, and lived like a monk for the next 18 months alternating between sitting 10 days silent retreats, and serving the food for the courses. I completed my parole. The organization sent me to India, where I sat a 30 day course with the founder The centers are so golden. Only people who have completed a course, and feel they benefited may donate. The centers around the world do not charge anything to go and attend a course. The teacher said that’s how the pure wheel of Dharma turns. 20 years later, I’m still involved in the drug war. But as a counselor. Be so cool to see dark retreats pop up like the Vipassana centers.

    As someone who was in this realm and now baby Christian this solipsist way of thinking is dangerous. Not taking away from meditation, unplugging, fasting, cleansing aspects.
    Being a creation with consciousness and awareness of your a mind and a soul don't mean you have knowledge of God. We do not have the answers "inside of us" unless it is through God and his Spirit.
    It is literally the tree of knowledge thinking we know good and evil and Truth.
    "Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
