The Packers began the mandatory portion of their training camp Tuesday without Aaron Rodgers, who may or may not have been comfortably at home, practicing his pronunciation of the word genre in preparation for his next gig after football.
It was an expected escalation in the feud, which after some draft day theatrics, has remained at a slow burn throughout the summer. Rodgers is not tipping his hand publicly and does not seem bothered by the financial repercussions (almost $100,000 in fines). The Packers are moving on with life, trying to somehow stay afloat amid a public relations battle they cannot win with a player they cannot please.
