Never did I think I would be Rodgers or Brady fan. Life takes strange turns.

There's a lesson to be learned here and, I often speak of it on this board in relation to politicians and other famous people.

The general public has a tendency to think they "know" the character of famous people they see in the news all the time. And, I always point out that for the most part, none of us really know jack shite other than what their publicists want us to know and their detractors want us to know. It's why I say that I don't give a frick about character when I vote. I vote based on policy.....PERIOD.

What you're learning in watching this is that if you're the type of person who is super comfortable with who you are and aren't desperate to be liked, it's VERY easy for the media to frame you negatively which, by extension, makes some groups of people dislike you.

It's an odd paradox but, a lot of famous people who get nothing but praise, aren't really good people and, a lot who don't, are exactly the kind of people you could count on if they were in your life.

You couldn't count on a man like Drew Brees for jack shite. Do you realize how many people in his own life hold the same principles he USED TO espouse only to watch him just basically shite on their views the moment it looked like it was going to tarnish him? I mean frick us people who are nobody's to him. Think about the people in his own life that he just took a colossal dump on and worse a rapists name on his helmet.

Trust me. You'd rather be friends with Brady or Rogers.
