This poll might work for football but when it comes to sports in general Queen James is in a league of her own. Caitlyn Jenner has less bitch in her. I have been a Lakers fan almost my entire life and haven't turned on a single game since she arrived. Funny, I was at Moxie's the other day and the Lakers game was on and not one person was watching it. The NBA can't be doing well. [Reply]

“At the start of the 2020-2021 NBA season, Nielsen Media Research data showed that NBA viewership for nationally televised games on TNT, ABC and ESPN was up 34 percent compared to the same 27-game period from last season,” Newsweek noted.
“One person familiar with sports media deals said the NBA could get $70.2 billion over nine years, using metrics including total viewer hours, which helps networks determine the value of sports league rights,” Jabari Young of CNBC noted. “The person also said tier-one sports rights are important to streaming services.”
“With him being that upset shows me how weak he is,” Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw said Monday in an appearance with Moose and Maggie on WFAN. “Who the hell cares who you draft? I mean, he’s a three-time MVP in the league and he’s worried about this guy they drafted last year at number one? . . . And for him to be upset, my God, I don’t understand that. Pittsburgh drafted Mark Malone number one, Cliff Stoudt in the third or fourth round. I had them coming at me from all angles. I embraced it, because when we went to practice, I wasn’t worried about those guys. You know? They didn’t scare me a bit. So I don’t understand why he’s so upset at Green Bay. . . .
“And then if they fire the General Manager he’ll come back? Are you kidding me? Really? Aaron, that’s where this is?”
So what would Bradshaw do?
“Here’s what I’d do,” Bradshaw said. “I wouldn’t budge. Let him gripe. Let him cry. Retire. You’re 38. Go ahead and retire. See you later. I mean, I’m really strong about stuff like that, and it makes him look weak. In my way of looking at it, it makes him look weak.”
Marc Malusis then asked Bradshaw whether he thought that it was an empty threat from Rodgers.
“I hadn’t thought of it like that,” Bradshaw said, “but call him on it.”
Bradshaw then said he didn’t believe it’s an empty threat, but he went back and forth on the possibility before reiterating his bottom-line belief: Call him on it.
That seems to be what the Packers will do. By retiring, Rodgers would be forced to repay $23 million in unearned signing bonus money, and he’d also lose the $6.8 million roster bonus he earned earlier in the offseason. Likewise, he’d give up the $14.7 million base salary he’s due to earn this year. That’s $44.5 million — and Jeopardy! doesn’t pay close to that amount.
Rodgers also would give up one of the remaining seasons of football that he can play before Father Time inevitably whacks Rodgers over the head with that big-ass hourglass. So that’s really the question Rodgers needs to ask himself. Is he so determined to get out of Green Bay that he’d not only give up $44.5 million, but that he also would never play football again?
Brady by a mile. The guy gets away with just about anything and still cries. Plus he knocked up both Bridget Moynahan and Giselle. No guy should be that lucky. I'm not condoning Rodgers antics by any means, but you do have to admit the front office hasn't done much to help him lately. [Reply]

Would be interested to have a peek inside the psychology of Bradshaw's criticism here.
He was one of the early examples of being a self-described 'mama's boy' who gained some lasting scars from the rough and tumble of the Chuck Knoll [old] school of leadership and championship. Get him in the right mood and he'll tear up about it to this day.
So he would seem to be someone who has seen both sides of the fence, where everyone looks at you like you're the bitch, and where you realize the benefit of not being the bitch. And it looks like, at least in Rodgers' case, he's decided on a hard line. [Reply]
I dislike Brady more because he is owns the refs that have fucked the Chiefs hard and dry twice in the last three years, but Rodgers is the bigger BITCH.
He has been since Alex Smith was drafted number one overall and he fell down the board. [Reply]
I say Brady, however there must be something with Rogers. IIRC he doesn't get along with his family which makes me wonder if he isn't a major dick! [Reply]
