NomarFachix Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) What a [expletive]ing dick... Honestly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1bWg6Iaa9A Glad to see Clay Matthews has a heart, human compassion is huge.

Phightins Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Jay Cutler is still a douche. And yeah Clay Matthews is really really cool. Quickly becoming my favorite non-Eagle. Edited January 16, 2011 by Phightins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Wow, what a dick move. I hope he realizes what he did and does something nice for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Definitely a dick move on his part, he knew she was a cancer patient and the players were told she was waiting, no reason as to why he didn't stop. But I definitely give some credit to Clay, what a great guy. But this helps his image, at least he held a charity event for cancer patients last month. http://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2010/12/3/1854062/save-me-a-spot This reminds me of when the Redskins organization gave my uncle field passes during training camp over the summer. At the time he had cancer, and almost everyone on the team came up to him and his family, gave him a football and jersey, and signed it. I have a ton of respect for the organization now, they truly made him feel happy. He's been a huge Skins fan for nearly 30 years, and this really lifted his spirits as well as his whole family. It's things like this that make a huge difference in one's life whether you believe it or not, something as small as getting an autograph can make someone feel much better about themselves and their life.

Flash Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Definite dick move on his part and yes, Clay Matthews is a boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 btw, Rodgers has invited cancer patients to training camp before, so this isn't something that is the norm from him. still a stupid decision by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 What a [expletive]ing [expletive]. I was never much of a Rodgers fan in the first place, but this certainly puts him amongst the most hated. I personally have a special place in my heart for cancer patients since I've lost a couple close family members to cancer. As for Clay, the dude is truly a badass, on and off the field. He's slowly turning into one of my favorite players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I love Clay Matthews! btw, I'm hoping that ARod just didn't notice with his headphones on. If he truly did it on purpose, I have lost a lot of respect for him. I hope he makes it up to her and invites her to the game this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Headphones don't cause a loss of eyesight and he was informed she would be waiting.he was engaged in a conversation with someone else and ignored all of the fans, not just her. I'm not saying what he did was right by any means, but it is possible that he really didn't notice what was going on. Clay Matthews didn't have headphones in and was not talking to anyone, so he noticed. Like I've stated, I hope he does something for her.

fish7718 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Sad, makes me dislike Rodgers more, makes me dislike Matthews a bit less, damnit, why couldn't Matthew blow her off so I could hate his guts, now I have mixed feelings on him btw Rodgers was nice to this My Wish patient though http://search.espn.go.com/aaron-rodgers/videos/****/6-88 Edited January 17, 2011 by fish7718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I've heard, pretty reliably, that Rodgers spoke with and signed an autograph for that woman last week before the Philly game.http://twitter.com/#!/Aaron_Nagler/status/26793009936867328 Rodgers has also assisted this non profit childhood cancer organization:http://www.maccfund.org/News/EventNewsListing/251/ Make of it what you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 This wasn't a dick move at all. He has his headphones on and is walking off the plane. He wasn't completely aware that she was there and the situation. Talk about trying to develop hate for no reason. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't completely aware that she was there and the situation. Talk about trying to develop hate for no reason. . I tend to agree with this. We don't know the entire story, we just saw that 5 second clip. If he realized the situation and processed it in his head and still decided to just walk right by, then it's a dick move. But we don't know if that's what happened. So lets not crucify him yet. Oh wait, that's already happened. Media FTL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 No athlete of his stature would ever do something like that on purpose, there's just no way. He knows what he means to his fans, let alone dying ones. I'm sure this is just taken out of context, like others have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reno Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 No athlete of his stature would ever do something like that on purpose, there's just no way. He knows what he means to his fans, let alone dying ones. I'm sure this is just taken out of context, like others have said.Clay Matthews said the stewardess on theplane was talking all about her and hersituation, and told them all she would bewaiting there because she ran to the airportafter her radiation treatment. But I guess he wasn't listening well enough tohear about all of that, or maybe see her thereafter they all got off the plane, or evenacknowledge any of the fans that were there tosee and greet them there. Meanwhile, otherplayers were smiling and stopping to give autographs, but that's ok, let's all give A-Rod apass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Oh wow, I didn't notice the headphones when I first watched the video. That's good then I guess? Definitely don't think Rodgers is a bad guy, especially with all the work he's done for cancer awareness it seems. Crisis avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Completely agree. Come on guys stop trying to make a good guy look bad. Well, if Bearfans latest post is true, then I take back this statement and will say that Rodgers is a dick for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
