MONTCLAIR, NJ—Declaring that this was no way to treat a Super Bowl winner and four-time league MVP, quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters Friday that he was furious the NFL hadn’t added an expansion team to sign him. “After everything I’ve done for this sport, the least they could do is create an entirely new franchise so I can play quarterback next season,” said the 41-year-old, adding that it was completely unacceptable for him to still be unsigned when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could simply snap his fingers and create a team in San Antonio; Honolulu; Columbus, OH; or Portland, OR for Rodgers to lead in 2025.

“I’ve played 20 seasons in the NFL, so I think it’s pretty messed up that no one’s even offered to pump hundreds of millions into a new stadium, coaching staff, and roster just so I can get on the field. Seriously, I’m not picky. If I had to, I’d even go to Canada!” Rodgers added that he was also furious that NFL Network hadn’t created a new streaming service to hire him as a commentator.

1. Geez.. Even I didn't think that was satire... I put little past Rodgers and his idiocy...

[Dulcinea]

2. Please just retire already.

And stay away from the Steelers!

3. Know when to walk away Aaron.

You had your moment. It's never coming back. Go open a car dealership or sign with a network to do play-by-play.

Realize I'm responding to satire, but he is going cuckoo in real life.

4. The Onion is published in Madison WI and Rodgers played in WI for 16 yrs.

So they pick on him a lot, but they also "get" him and his sense of entitlement.

[DemInBuckhead]

9. I thought they were based in Chicago now.

It was fun to be in Chicago or Champaign and pick up a printed Onion. I assume it was founded in Madison.

12. You are correct.

It feels so Madison to me that I forgot it moved.

[MLAA]

5. He could be the spokesman for Priveledged-Asses-R-US.

[True Dough]

6. And that expansion team would be

the Auburn Ayahuascas!

[GopherGal]

7. Not sure the NFL Team owners would go for that name...

but Aaron was apparently sampling some ayahuasca before those statements.

(yes, I know it's all satire. But in the Onion alternate universe where he made these statements, it was probably under the influence of a hallucinogen...)

8. I love the onion

[Clouds Passing]

10. Go away toddler whiner. Nobody wants you.

[Permanut]

11. Great satire..

But even hinting about sending him to Portland, Oregon is

NOT FUNNY!

[Bread and Circuses]

13. I think an expansion team called the Siberian Sables is a fit for Rodgers. ? What do you think?

[BidenRocks]

14. My Packers instill a Never Quit spirit.

Both Favre and Rogers are Ex Packers who I feel should have quit on top.

The stars have faded. Bye!
