The end of July is almost upon us, which means August is almost here!
NFL fans all know that August is that magical month that kicks off training camp, bringing with it the impending NFL season, and the joys of fans everywhere.

To celebrate the kickoff of the 2021 season, we present you some July Memes, a selection of funny photos that have kept us entertained during this wet, miserable summer.

Whether it’s memes around the incorrect pronunciation of ‘Kelce’, rumours of Rodgers riding out to pasture, or just Covidiots in general, the memes reward us all.

Rodgers That!

by

The ‘what will he do’ moment is now upon us, as the NFL world waits in anticipation for what Aaron Rodgers will finally do.
Will he succumb to the public pressure and return to the Packers training camp on July 28th, or will he flip a cheesy bird to the team, and pursue retirement?
Or will he just do his own thing?
Rodgers That!

The A-aaron drama took an end of July shift, when major sports books finally gave in to the notion that the reigning MVP might not be driving to Wisconsin for the fall.

Westgate Sportsbook has pulled all NFC North odds for the moment, including win totals, playoff odds, and weekly lines.

Other Las Vegas sports books including Bovada & Bet online have changed their prices and odds for the Packers to repeat.
In fact, Circa Sports has released their own new odds, which favours the Minnesota Vikings winning the NFC North, ahead of the Packers.

So what are Rodgers options really then?

Back at Pack

It’s no secret that Rodgers hates Packers GM Brian Gutekunst, he hates him so much-he could actually be family with him.
Aaron had said in the spring that he ‘wouldn’t be back’ so long as Gutekunst was on the team, and yet he’s still there.
Given that AR has been so vocal about his disdain for the leadership of the team, that he would be willing to forgive and forget over a summer of very little contact.

Rodgers (former) teammates were all quite bullish on the prospect of him slinging up for the Cheeseheads in 2021, but that too has started to fizzle out as July has.

With words that Davante Adams is now opting out of renegotiating a new contract, it would seem that even he knows that Rodgers time in Wisconsin is done.

Even if Rodgers were to return to Green Bay at the end of July, would the fans forgive him?
As the only ‘fan owned’ franchise, the Packers are more like a family than a global corporation.
By ‘playing games’ with his future he’s not just fucking with Jerry Jones, he’s trifling with mom and pop America, and they’ve had a rough couple of years.

Even if he were to retire, how much tension is going to fill that locker room?
Too much to fit a championship in there most likely.

Retire

There’s retirement, and then there is retiring for a bit.
Rodgers has too much competition in him left to whomp out of the league for good, but he could take a little break to show them what they are missing.

Having just announcement his surprise engagement, there are rumours that he wants to use this time to get married and enjoy his honeymoon phase before getting back to work.

Sure, he’ll lose some money on the season, but there are plenty of other ways for Aaron to grab some cash.
From appearances at ‘Game of Thrones’ fan expos, judging on ‘America’s Next A Capella Sensation’, our recreating the movie ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ with puppets, with fiancee Shailene Woodley.

It’s no secret that the kid from Chico, California would also LOVE to be the next host of Jeopardy. Given his lack lustre week of hosting this year, that might be tough. If he thinks Packers fans are emotional, wait til he pisses off the elderly nerd crowd.

Family Counsellor

The Rodgers family are a reality show waiting to happen.
Imagine a series where Aaron returns to the homestead to make peace with his religious family, as well as performing a series of pranks on them.
Hilarity ensues.
This would also provide Aaron with the ability to get back at his brother Jordan, who sullied the family name on ‘The Bachelor”.
For shame.

Of course, we won’t know what is really going to until July 28th, when (and if) he doesn’t appear at training camp.

If he’s not there on Wednesday, make sure to check on your Green Bay Packers fans to make sure that they don’t do something stupid.
Like switch to being Buccaneers fans.

What do you think he will do?

All Filler

by

Training camp is almost here to kick off the 2021 NFL season, but until then, we are grasping at NFL news.
Which is why we call this podcast ALL FILLER, as it is mostly a collection of offseason antics and hilarious stories.

Join Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull, as they deliver a heat induced episode of NFL news, predictions, and general jackassery.
Ryan is off of a 2 week vacation to the ‘islands’, and he can barely contain his enthusiasm.

Among some of the nuggets of NFL that the boys talk about in this episode includes:

Sherman Tanked

Poor Richard Sherman. He got wasted in SoCal and all he got to show for it was an embarrassing video of him losing to a door.
A very wasted Sherman is seen trying to bust back into his gated community house while his distraught (and calm) wife describes the harrowing encounter.
Most people who listed to this call point to the very ‘nasty’ 911 operator on the receiver, who definitely made the call worse.
Sherman is going to need to dry out, rethink, and figure out if he’s better off on the field…or maybe the booth.

Tooth Haskins

Poor Dwayne Haskins.
First he gets cut by the Washington football team for erratic play and behaviours, then his love life came back to punch him in the face.
It’s not easy being a young man trying to make it in the NFL.
There is lot of pressure not only to succeed, but also from the Instagram set looking to to cash in on your young fame.
Hopefully this guy gets help before he gets piled on.

Ping You

While we are under Operation Pingdom here in the UK, in the US teams are still struggling to get their players vaccinated.
There are 4 teams whose vax rate is currently below 50% for whatever reason they choose to submit.
Those teams?
Washington, Indianapolis, Arizona, and the LA Chargers.
It’s going to be a long training camp until the players get the jab.

Hold the Chi

You’re a horrible person if you have been pronouncing Travis Kelce’s name wrong this whole time.
Yes, after years in the NFL, it turns out we have been pronouncing his name all wrong.
It’s Kell-se, not Kell-chee.
Boy are we embarrassed!

Younghoe Jeep

Welcome to the ATL Koe! Falcons kicker Younghoe Koe got a slap in the south when his Jeep was stolen from the city last week.
This is probably why they never let Atlanta have nice things.
In true Georgia fashion, Koe claimed he only ‘wanted his cleats’ back.
Who steals a man’s dirty cleats anyway?

TB10.5

It turns out that TB12 played ALL last season with an MCL problem.
Ha ha, wow!
If this is true, it’s quite admirable for a man of his age to play through the pain.
If it is also true….then Tampa Bay cheated their way to the Super Bowl.
Teams have to disclose injuries, and Tom Brady not disclosing his is a MAJOR league violation.
Will the league investigate this, or will they just consider it Brady Banter?
Depends on how true it is really.

Rodgers Out

The final question that remains, is whether to not Aaron Rodgers will suit up for training camp on July 27th.
Aaron made it clear at the end of the 2020 season he would not be retuning to the Packers, but many fans haven’t given up hope.
Ryan is convinced that Aaron Rodgers will be back, and everything else is silly talk.
Wade thinks that Rodgers will call their bluff, go into semi-retirement as a broadcaster until injury forces a team to offer him the moon.
We shall see.

Here is the latest podcast.
Listen, laugh, love, Karen, enjoy.
