1. There were so many days in July and August when I’d fire up the laptop to write this column and had absolutely nothing to write about. The daily mantra during those days was “get to football, get to football.” Today is one of those days where there is so much to say, I don’t know where to begin. So I will just throw out bullet points to try and cover as much stuff from a shocking and wild Monday Night Football game as possible.
• Joe Buck and Troy Aikman did an excellent job of not speculating about what was wrong with Aaron Rodgers when he left the game after taking just four snaps. There was a little confusion with Rodgers getting up after being sacked and then dropping to the ground and then walking off, going into the tent and then getting carted off. For several minutes, nobody really knew what was going on, and Buck and Aikman deserve props for not adding to the confusion and letting it all play out.
• Media people love to say they won’t speculate about injuries right before speculating about injuries. Those people also love to tell us they aren’t doctors as if we thought media folks were also orthopedics on the side. Thanks for the clarification. Even Adam Schefter at halftime told Scott Van Pelt that he has not examined Aaron Rodgers. Thanks!
