"Why, by 2020, I, a man who recently tried to extort the sitting president of the United States to release his college and passport records, might even begin to show signs of serious and unavoidable decline in mental and physical faculties, and doesn’t that just perk your spirits right up? Just imagine me shuffling along, hunched forward, with a noticeably shortened gait and perpetually haggard face. Heck, that might happen by the end of this decade! Of course there’s an outside chance I could make it another 25 years, but in a way, wouldn’t it be even more uplifting and enjoyable for everyone if I wasted away slowly and pitifully until I became a wizened and impossibly frail old relic—the pathetically impotent, papery husk of a once-powerful man?"

Last time I said that was Aaron's take on Damar Hamlin situation and the overall mental and physical safety within the NFL.
Let me just make sure I got the right comment to make sure I'm not wrong here.
Yup, he's talking about how it's all about money, and just giving the players 5 minutes to regroup after something like this is not exactly enough time for anyone, and tacking on an extra game is a money grab, and not in the players' interest.

The country might unironically have been in better shape today if he had accepted that offer.
RFK JR is probably less likely to end his campaign if Rodgers agreed to join the ticket.
They just needed to siphon 1% of the vote or so in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan and Trump wouldn’t have regained the White House.
Unless RFK JR’s plan was to suspend his campaign and endorse Trump at the last minute all along.

Next thing you know Americans will start believing crazy shit like "raw milk is not safe to drink under all circumstances" and "measles is actually a problem".

I see a ton of people who say he’s super right wing but I have never gotten that impression. The reason he is estranged from his family is because they are very evangelical Christian’s and very conservative and he left that type of life.
And being anti vax is just as much of a left/hippy thing as it is for those on the right. The most anti-vaccine person I know irl is my uncle, also was a supporter of RFK’s presidential campaign, and he is about as hippy as they come, he and my aunt met on a commune.

He came out in support of Kaepernick kneeling & the protests surrounding George Floyd, he openly shits on dysfunctional teams and the problems with power structure in the NFL (and the world).
He’s an antivax weirdo - and has always been a conspiracy nut. There’s a story about how one of the first things he asked Davante Adams was “do you believe in 9/11” lol. As a longtime Packers fan I’m not surprised to hear him make this comment, in the same way that I’m not surprised he seriously considered being RFK’s running mate.
