Colin and Skip are really the only media personalities that don't like Rodgers. Everyone else has really rode his nuts the past five or six years. Those two may hate him too much sometimes but its always been fresh these past few years to hear someone not worship Rodgers and view him objectively.
Openly disliking him is viewing someone objectively? Both of them, but Bayless especially, try to discredit everything Rodgers accomplishes. Cowherd gets one or two quotes from Greg Jennings and Jermichael Finley about Rodgers being a bad leader and runs with it, but disregards all the positive things about Rodgers other teammates have said. Objective? Nah. These guys know Rodgers moves the needle, and they know talking nonsense about him is good for their ratings (although clearly not as good as it was when they both worked for ESPN).
Life long Packer fan and I live in Green Bay. When Brett was with the Packers we had the most fun watching him play. I worked at the local meat market and knew most of the players and Brett and his wife were the.friendliest and nicest people you ever met.
I like Rodgers , I hope he does well but he can't do better then farve as greenbay is covered. Farve brought winning to them. Unless he wins multiple Superbowls then, he can't do better .
Robert Martin he wins 1 more super bowl and he's better. he beats him in every single category when he retires besides consecutive starts and interceptions.
Colin Cowherd is such an arrogant tool. He thinks he is better than everyone and he judges people unfairly. Love Jeff Pearlman on the other hand! Great writer!
Aaraon Rodgers wears his pride on his sleeves. Alot of people do that. Those r the people who walk really tall with their chin high. I am one of those people. Nothing wrong weith that
Rodgers never got over the fact that Purdue? said no to him because they considered him too short coming out of high school. Even to this day, he takes offence when fans say things to him like, 'I thought you were taller.'
look without farve Rogers couldn't learn. if Rogers started as a rookie he might not be as good. only fans of Green Bay before farve were in Green Bay even though the city owns them and they won't move.
1 question Mr. Aaron Favre, Jr.? What happened to the pre-Favre fans when the Packers played a couple of games a season in Milwaukee? Because only real fans made the trip and those that didn’t were not real fans and they didn’t know the chant duh da da dumb go pack man go da dum da dah
I lost my respect for Favre when it came out he left voicemails for a female interviewer. He is also known to abuse alcohol and drugs. Yet, NFL gave him the hall of fame title.
This was really awesome to watch
Not surprising. There's always been rumors that Rodgers and Favre have had a rocky relationship, this guy is just highlighting it.
Very interesting interview.
Great interview. Thanks for doing it Colin
Best interview ever son
Wow they both treated each other like trash, didn't know there was so much tension back then. This was enlightening
There was tension bc Aaron came in cocky, but they're actually friends now.
Favre is a legend!
The legend of Favre is much bigger than the reality.
Legendary Fraud & Criminal
i guess Rodgers isn't the innocent flower the media portrayed him as.
Neither is Favre I guess
taxidrivernwo have you seen Colin talk about Rodgers? He's never portrayed him as innocent

I think shannon sharpe is pretty balanced, criticizes him when he played bad, praised him when he's played well.

In my opinion Brett Favre is the all-time best quarterback of all time I enjoyed every single second of that man's career
Specially all the game losing pick 6s.
Yeah, pick sixes too!! But, the up side is too good, too fun!! After all those dry years in Green Bay, It was so good!
Nice piece.
This book is absolutely amazing...he didn't miss a single detail about Favres life
Brett Favre is Greatest QB of All Time in my opinion.
Ha.. how about the greatest scumbag.
ZZZZ Brett Favre is NOWHERE Near the best OB; Not even in consideration
great aurthor man. brett inspired me to be great man i am today. thank u numba 4.
The assessment of Favre as “a great guy“ has not stood the test of time, that’s for sure.
8:20. Boy you are the trainwreck
I am going out to get the book.
Loved watching Favre. Probably not as much as John Madden, but still.
Favre is a all-time top 8 qb. Rodgers just isnt in the top 10... yet.
He's Top 10. No doubt. I have him #1 but my criteria is different than most fans.
Rodgers is top 5 all time.
Favre is was away better than Rodgers.
Arod wouldn't survive the 90s let alone be a 3 time MVP
Rodgers is better numbers don't lie. The guy rarely throws picks.
Just watch the Favre4ever documentary.
IF bretts first season does not motivate u at home during covid-19 nothing will. DAMM im starting my day on a HIGH note with that,
The information this guy gives about Favre's early life isnt exactly new, most of it has already been told
Chico isn't near Los Angeles or San Francisco. It's about as rural as California gets. Nice try Colin.
arodgefan589 but where is Cal?
Ubiquitous Viper Berkeley which is next to Oakland
Well this didn't age well.
What's with the huge desk?
"Boy, you are the train wreck!"
Classic!
I'm buying this book
the fact he didnt sit down with brett... even virtually is odd.
farve has done more for green bay then Rodgers
Robert Martin Rodgers hasnt played as long though
I like Rodgers , I hope he does well but he can't do better then farve as greenbay is covered. Farve brought winning to them. Unless he wins multiple Superbowls then, he can't do better .
Robert Martin he wins 1 more super bowl and he's better. he beats him in every single category when he retires besides consecutive starts and interceptions.
IHCTerra great call. farve brought more then Rogers so far. his ironman record still holds, even if the NFL has turned to flag football.
CHAC Z when will that happen? he barely making the playoffs . I like Arron but he ain't farve.
Colin Cowherd is such an arrogant tool. He thinks he is better than everyone and he judges people unfairly. Love Jeff Pearlman on the other hand! Great writer!
ZZZZ Colin is the GOAT
Aaraon Rodgers wears his pride on his sleeves. Alot of people do that. Those r the people who walk really tall with their chin high. I am one of those people. Nothing wrong weith that
His dad should of developed him more but meh maybe their RB was sick lmao
Brett was taken 33 second round. SOMEONE in falcons must of liked him or it was bs.
Curious where this guy got his info about Rodgers and Favre first meeting and all their other problems, sounds a little exaggerated to get sales!
He backtracked on that stuff after Rodgers said publicly it wasn't really the truth.
did he say favre crapped in a cup and made his sister eat it?
Favre is Greatest QB All Time, Pearlman is a weasel who lied about John Rocker words
Brett Fah-ver????
BS.
Favre came out of nothing great story
Favre is great but Jeff Pearlman is a punk who lied about John Rocker
How is Rodgers the sensitive one when it was Favre who took issue with him calling him grandpa, and implying that he was dumber?
Rodgers never got over the fact that Purdue? said no to him because they considered him too short coming out of high school. Even to this day, he takes offence when fans say things to him like, 'I thought you were taller.'
look without farve Rogers couldn't learn. if Rogers started as a rookie he might not be as good. only fans of Green Bay before farve were in Green Bay even though the city owns them and they won't move.
Robert Martin You make absolutely zero sense. You are dumb.
So you are saying that Rodgers has a learning disability? If Rodgers started as a rookie, he’d be a rookie quarterback.
Good thing pre-Favre fans are Packer fans because if they owned the city then they would have to pay for all the roads and stuff n stuff!
1 question Mr. Aaron Favre, Jr.? What happened to the pre-Favre fans when the Packers played a couple of games a season in Milwaukee? Because only real fans made the trip and those that didn’t were not real fans and they didn’t know the chant duh da da dumb go pack man go da dum da dah
For some reason Brett Favre was really privileged and held to a lower standard than so many other great NFL players.
Favre was forced out after holding the Packers hostage by talking retirement for years.
I lost my respect for Favre when it came out he left voicemails for a female interviewer. He is also known to abuse alcohol and drugs. Yet, NFL gave him the hall of fame title.
Try and make the argument that Favre isn't a first ballot hall of Famer. Or that he isn't a top 5 QB ever
He did some drugs and that takes away everything he did on the field? Addiction shouldn’t take away from the undeniable First-Ballot HOF career he had
Cast the first stone
