First off, what does it matter if a guy is 'arrogant' or a 'jerk' off the field? Like seriosuly, who cares? The dude is a fantastic player and a great leader on the field, so what does it matter how he is off of it? At least hes not a pathetic whiny #### like Moss, who walks off the field on their own team when the game is still going? Thats sad, glad he never got a ring.mrc44 wrote: FYI. Rogers is probably not very thing you think he is. He is a jack #### to his fans and to his hometown. I live an hour from Chico where he grew up and played before Cal. He comes home every offseason and stays in Chico. I have family that grew up in Chico and knew him. The run into him every once in a while in town and many people obviously want to ask for a picture or sign something. He doesn't even say a word! I know a guy and a beautiful girl that both work at restaurants in Chico where Rogers goes when he comes home. HE NEVER LEAVES A TIP,NOT EVEN A PENNY!! That's what I call a dick. These are people that put up a sign that says "welcome to Chico, the home of Aaron Rogers", treat him like a king... In return he won't take a picture with a 8 year old kid who is wearing his jersey and idolizes him. Dude is a sell out and a piece of trash. I can't stand players that don't respect the people that basically pay them. Think about it, how would you feel if your beloved AR jut walked by you and did t say a word after you asked him for a pic, autograph, or even a hand shake? Pretty sad.. I have no respect for him or anything he does anymore.
But second of all, I doubt you can judge somebody by how they tip or how many autographs they sign? I have a buddy who's kid actually got Aaron to ride his bike to practice, lucky kid got her hat signed and everything, now granted that was before a practice, and im sure he and most other players wouldnt appreciate random people walking up to him on the street asking for an autograph, im sure Aaron signs autographs alot more then he would like, who are YOU to judge somebody for 'Not signing enough autographs' seriously, would YOU want people asking for your autograph constantly? I sure as hell wouldnt, and think it is EXTREMELY unfair to judge somebody based on that.
Not that it was right for him to not tip someone, but you ever think it could have been the service or the atmosphere? Ive skipped out on my fair share of tips over the years, so I certainly cant hold any disdain towards him for that.
The truth of the matter is, we truly have no clue as to what kind of person he is, not that we should care in the first place, the guys a champ and gets the most out of himself and his team mates so thats good enough for me.
Somehow I get the feeling that despite your disdain for A-Rod, you still somehow hold respect for that loser Randy.
