This morning, some of us may have read multiple breakdowns of an Aaron Rodgers photo collage posted on Instagram as if it were the cover of Abbey Road.
While some of this is the self-induced mania that comes during the quiet period between the Super Bowl and draft week, this is also about the time we were expecting a decision from Rodgers as to whether he’d like to return to the Packers. On one hand, his post may just be a tribute to friends, teammates and loved ones, an ode to gratitude which we should all be practicing on a daily basis (thanks for the reminder, Aaron). On the other, it could really be some kind of cryptic notification to the fellow deep thinkers of the world that he is planning to board a plane for Denver (he insisted, during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show Tuesday, this was not the case).
Today, I offer you an alternative: simply disengage. While it sounds odd coming from a journalistic outfit tasked with relaying this kind of news, Rodgers has wedged himself into a unique corner of the celebrity arena. We’ve been told time and time again how we can never truly understand his complexities. So why try, when there are times we probably can’t understand ourselves? We’ve been accused of twisting his words. So why attempt to grasp them at all?
