1
00:00:02.190 --> 00:00:05.970
<v 0>Okay. So we want to start off talking about the man of the hour, Aaron Rogers,</v>

2
00:00:06.420 --> 00:00:09.570
the NFL finished their investigation and find the green bay Packers

3
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:13.800
$300,000 for COVID protocol violations,

4
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.090
and only find Aaron Rogers, $15,000. Baby,

5
00:00:18.510 --> 00:00:20.850
does the punishment fit the crime here? He's like.

6
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:23.700
<v 1>Well, I think the main thing you can,</v>

7
00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:28.260
you can ask about the minuscule amount or the five for Aaron Rogers,

8
00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:32.910
but that was actually negotiated by the NFL and the NFL PA

9
00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:37.830
when they did the protocols in terms of establishing a fine schedule.

10
00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:42.780
And so the way it's set up is if there are other major

11
00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:47.640
violations from this point on, then it gets to be a whole lot stiffer.

12
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:51.810
But the thing that I see the significance of this is the Packer's fine.

13
00:00:52.050 --> 00:00:56.880
$300,000 is a pretty hefty fine by NFL

14
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.180
standards. And if you look back at the saints last year,

15
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:04.910
you look at the Raiders last year where, you know, those fines were in the,

16
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:08.970
it was several hundred thousand dollars more for repeated violations.

17
00:01:09.150 --> 00:01:13.830
I think that's the warning shot to the Packers that you'd better comply and

18
00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:18.300
do all that you can do as a team to make sure that you're in compliance.

19
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:23.130
So there could be another shoe to drop pending on how Rodgers

20
00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:27.990
and the Packers, uh, kind of execute the protocols from here on out.

21
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:31.320
<v 2>Yeah, no, I totally agree with you there, JB. I mean, it was,</v>

22
00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:34.680
it was already set up and they couldn't go above that because this was the first

23
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:39.630
fence cause really Aaron Rodgers outside of pretending that he were given the

24
00:01:39.630 --> 00:01:43.290
impression that he was vaccinated. That's the real thing that, um,

25
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:46.320
got the public outrage. Um, if,

26
00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:49.860
if he hadn't ever said that and he wasn't wearing a mask and had gone to a

27
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.790
Halloween party, um, without a mask and then, you know,

28
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:56.100
it would've just been like, oh, okay, well he got fine there,

29
00:01:56.100 --> 00:01:59.730
but it was because the I've been immunized in the impression given.

30
00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:01.950
So people want him to have a stiffer punishment,

31
00:02:01.950 --> 00:02:05.580
but really when it comes to violating things, he didn't deceive his team.

32
00:02:05.580 --> 00:02:09.120
He didn't see the NFL, he was going through daily testing. Um,

33
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.920
so it wasn't like he did something that was so egregious that he needed a worse

34
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:16.230
fine than what was already laid out in the parameters.
