Mr. Thick Skin himself, Aaron Rodgers, took it upon himself to call out some guy publicly who questioned him, last night.
Apparently, the guy’s issue had to do with the fact that Rodgers, who was at the Staples Center watching the UW-Arizona game, waltzed down to the court after the game. There may also have been some butt hurtness about Rodgers not granting someone an interview, but that’s less clear.
First, here’s how things got started.
Dear Wisco fan: If it was about the Badgers, then why was A Rodgers on court? Credentialed media only.

Oh my god! How dare you! How dare you question Brett Favre… whoa, Nelly! I mean, Aaron Rodgers…
Yeah, that’s pretty much what Rodgers thought. I mean, the graceful thing to do here is ignore the chatter because who gives a shit?
But you know Rodgers can’t do that. He’s obviously been taking lessons on dealing with detractors from his old lady.
To the biggest twitter crybaby of the night, I had a pass to be on the court. Send your complaints to the A.D. #quitcrying #youreajoke

Also with interview requests, sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it's no. I'm not there for u, I'm there to support my friends n UW.

As you can probably guess, we’re not fans of this prima donna bullshit. Let it go and move on.
You’re Aaron Rodgers. You pretty much get to do whatever the hell you want to do. Some people aren’t going to like that. Most people will just accept it.
But to get all huffy about it publicly? What are you, seven?
Here’s the one time where you could afford to emulate Jay Cutler a little bit.
I like how out of all the articles about this whole issues, this is the only site that doesn’t include all of Dodd’s tweets.
He had every right to call out that crybaby Dodd, and I glad he did, if nothing else, to set the record straight that he had a pass.
Dodd was shocked to find out celebrities get special treatment. He also wants his super bowl ring from the second Giants victory over the Pats. Eli gave him a sec.
True Ace, I guess if you want the whole story, you will need to do some research, apparently the author of this article was too lazy.
You are only showing 1 tweet of many that the dumbass reporter sent out last night over his butthurtness over getting turned down from AR. Rodgers was totally in the right here. He had clearence to be down on the court post game and he was just there as a fan to cheer on the Badgers. He wasn’t there in an official capacity and if he didn’t want to give an interview that would have no doubt deflected the spotlight from the great victory last night for the Badgers. He already gets enough spotlight anytime he attends one of their games. I’m beginning to think that Monty just waits for some story to come up that will allow him to bash a Packers player. Really, calling AR a prima donna?? That’s a nice DB move Monty!!
Aaron Rodgers in one of the biggest moments in the state’s history — ignoring how media has shaped his image — “I’m not doing interviews”

Or, look at it this way, King & Dodd refuse to be interviewed by Aaron Rodgers. pic.twitter.com/5BvdjujLhQ

Dear Wisco fan: If it was about the Badgers, then why was A Rodgers on court? Credentialed media only.

Here’s the equivalent of what A Rodgers did today. I crash his wedding to Olivia because I’m a big “fan.”
10:12pm – 28 Mar 15
Media had to stay outside three point line (really) while Badgers cut nets. A Rodgers allowed unrestrained access to court. Fair?
10:14pm – 28 Mar 15
Still wondering what difference is between two uncredentialed fans on court. One dates an actress and is good at sports. Other isn’t.
10:17pm – 28 Mar 15
I can guarantee you this will be taken up by NCAA and USBWAA. A Rodgers shouldn’t be in a position for us to be blown off.
10:18pm – 28 Mar 15
Where do we draw the line? USC can’t have celebs on sideline anymore after sanctions. But feel-good A Rodgers can be on court with Badgers?
10:19pm – 28 Mar 15
Wow, this guy has a lot of sand in his vagina.
After reading all of this guys tweets and getting the story straight (from another website), I have come to the conclusion that he is a giant fucking douchebag who deserves to be smacked across the face by Dr. David Schultz.

And the fact that Monty has to try and spin EVERYTHING in an attempt to rip on Rodgers (McCarthy, Matthews, or any other Packer) is getting really old and pathetic. It’s like he talks more shit about the Packers than a fuckin Vikings fan.
^ This guy gets it.
Monty look at amce packing company artile they actully show the whole story not just 2 tweets from rodgers
well, the only thing i care about this is that he is healthy and safe in his house, he isn’t on a beach somewhere getting into off-season antics/trouble, like a lot of other young, immature, nfl divas [you know who i mean; if not, read some of the recent TP articles preceding this one.]
Oh wow, what a surprise. Aaron Rodgers is a major diva who cares what a nobody like that reporter thinks of him. The guy is soft. No other way to put it.
I’m just glad 12’s big game chokeability didn’t rub off on the Badgers.
Let’s all pitch in and buy Monty a prostitute. The guy needs some trim.
Weak sauce Monty, you are better than this. We already knew the whole story before you tried to spin it.
This author has to let go of his man crushes on 2 Packer players.
Clay Mathews can sport a scruffy beard and date a woman if he wants to.
Aaron Rodgers can go on a basketball court after a game when invited, and can also date women.

This is seriously becoming the most anti-packer site. I can get this same Packer bashing on any bears or Vikings site. Later.
Wow, I think we can categorize this one under the Media Gone Wild tab. There is a job at TMZ in Dodd’s future.
Came back to see if anything’s changed, but clearly it hasn’t. This site is as troll driven as ever.
Keep criticizing Aaron and the Packers guys, that’ll teach em! What do they know about sports and life? Not nearly as much as you guys do obviously! Show them what it means to be a real man!
I agree Dodd was out of line, but Monty makes a point that I didn’t consider. You know what? He’s right. Rodgers calling out Dodd only raised awareness of who Dodd is. Think about this, even though Rodgers stays off Twitter during the season, you have to wonder how much time he spends googling himself to find out who’s talking trash about him. For someone of his stature, it’s a waste of time.
Would Tom Brady waste his time responding? Joe Montana? Russell Wilson? I could go on and on here.
Although Monty has been quite anti-Aaron as of late, he does make a point. It’s a waste of fucking time.
When is the draft…this is the most boring time of year for Packer fans…this is like one of those conspiracy sites like Info Wars or that New York Post thing….Nat Enquirer style writing…
Now I’m done with this “site” forever. You suck
As is true with so many things these days – if I call you on your shit, then somehow I’m the asshole. That’s exactly what ARodg is doing here – calling out some idiot reporter who didn’t let a lack of information stop him from spewing some crap. Is idiot and reporter in the same sentence redundant?
Rodgers doesn’t initiate this crap, but he sure doesn’t take it, either.
Monty – the ripping on the players and team you supposedly love is wearing awfully thin. No, they don’t walk on water, but you’re really grasping at straws to be a dick.
On point Abe !
Take your Ritalin, Monty. Dodd talked shit and was deservedly smacked down. End of story.
No doubt.
Monty, you’re a piece of excrement. I can call you whatever I want cuz you never respond to anyone who talks about you on here, Hell, you probably don’t even read our responses. You are the consummate shock jock. Saying wildly outrageous things for a reaction and then moving on to your next firehall without addressing your last smoldering mess. BUT…..here I am still visiting your site…..so your formula works.
Monty, can you stop polluting this site with Aaron Rodgers Wisconsin badgers fan stories so that we can get back to actual stories packers fans care about, such as clay Matthews beard and Olivia munn having a bad attitude.
LOL
Boy, will I be glad when football is back…..
be on your guard. monty never misses a thing, no matter how trivial the storyline; soooooo–
just be aware, april fool’s day is less than 48 hours away, and TP never fails to lay the annual “egg” on the easily blindsided “homers” e.g., “Cutty has been traded to the Shithawks” or some such jockshock BS.
Dodd was very unprofessional, but I think Aaron was too… I get where Dodd was coming from, but he shouldn’t have called Aaron out like that because I’m sure Aaron didn’t have bad intentions in terms of snubbing someone so he could be on the court. I hate to say it but Aaron has changed. There’s no doubt he’s a great QB and leader, but I don’t think it’s a good thing when everyone blows smoke up your ass all the time and you get to the point where you think you’re untouchable…that mentality isn’t healthy. I like him better when he just plays football and lets his game do all the talking…. not the Mr. Hollywood we’ve seen of late, engaging in name calling and everything else….. if you’re trying to find packer news in the off season, its pretty sad because it’s all Aaron and Olivia…. I don’t think you can search his name without mention of Olivia, I never really had a problem with her, I don’t get why everyone thinks shes hot, cuz there’s way better looking girls out there, but she just seems like shes trying too hard and that makes her come across as really fake….
Hey Aaron – wear WHITE then.
