They pick and choose who they go after.
Like all these NBA analysts, who destroyed Luka Doncic recently for a couple of bad games in the finals, but never lay a glove on LeBron James because they never want to cross the Lakers star or his agency. You could see it with their coverage of the NBA draft and a certain prospect.
When it comes to who talking heads trash and don’t trash, there is a cost-benefit analysis in their minds before they state their opinions.
Rodgers is an easy target for most sports talking heads and insiders because he doesn’t play ball with any of them.
So they have nothing to lose trashing Rodgers. They aren’t losing scoops or access because he’s not giving them any.
So it’s become a cottage industry to go after Rodgers.
As Bob Dylan once sang: “When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose.”
