Woah. Can't say a Cal does't teach one to question authority.

He absolutely deserves to get that off his chest. The amount of garbage the media put that man thru during covid, was insane.
Aaron evidently didn't spend much time in the classroom at Cal. For someone who claims he is so smart and well read, he totally misconstrued why Fauci was taking the fifth at the scam hearing by Rand Paul. He must get his news from Fox.
Sorry. This is the big Aaron Rodgers news of the day.
Aaron Rodgers may have shaded his brother Jordan Rodgers for airing their relationship woes while speaking about his reconciliation with his family. https://t.co/DNsiVARuOE

This is all such a nothing burger. If the Senate wanted Fauci to testify (and it really believed he was already fully covered by a pardon), they'd just immunize him (see Oliver North), giving him protection commensurate with his Fifth Amendment rights. Ultimately, even holding him in contempt will only confirm that his testimony is compelled and not voluntary and thus entitled to Fifth Amendment protection. Fauci then will testify with the protection confirmed and in place. For lawyers who really know this area, this is all political theater. Fauci (and really his lawyer) is just ensuring beyond any doubt that he gets the protection before actually testifying. Aaron is one helluva a quarterback but definitely not a lawyer. Still, like many, he'll create a narrative, along with some in the media and some senators, to boost his feelings and beliefs about responses to COVID by the government.
I'm sure (?) that Fauci would have incriminated himself if he had answers, what is the color of your tie!? Or the rug on the floor?

Good one! Radnich had his moments. Sometimes he talked more about sports media than sports itself but he never took any of it too seriously.
Although the Fifth Amendment right is colloquially known as the right against self incrimination protected answers don't have to be incriminating, just a link in the chain of prosecution. For example, stating your address isn't "incriminating" but one has the right not to say it if it could lead derivatively to any evidence that might be introduced in a prosecution (including investigation). And though asserting the Fifth requires doing so on a question-by-question basis, lawyers generally advise an all-or-nothing approach so as to avoid waiving the protection (too complicated to discuss here). But asking about the carpet and tie colors was purely performative by Senator Hawley. Hawley knew Fauci was safely asserting as to all questions, and Hawley cared nothing about those specific answers other than to create talking points and content for Fox News. Again, if the senators want answers, just immunize Fauci (a la Oliver North), and he will have no right to assert the Fifth.
"But asking about the carpet and tie colors was purely performative by Senator Hawley."
I would have told Hawley that I'm not answering those non serious questions. Hawley would say you have to answer or take the 5th. I'd say I'm doing neither. He'd say you will be held in contempt of Congress. I'd say. "Do what you have to do." F that Furd tw@t.
Hawley was the first U.S. senator to announce he would object to the certification of the 2020 presidential election results.
He drew widespread criticism and public mockery after a photograph showed him raising a fist in solidarity with protesters outside the Capitol shortly before the riot, contrasted with later security footage showing him sprinting through a hallway during the evacuation.

Last year, with Mike Tomlin as head coach, Rodgers STFU.
Now he's back to his old ways with Mike McCarthy.

And here he has been saying what a good influence his wife is on him. Disappointing.

Rodgers didn't learn a damn thing at Cal. He probably didn't attend class any more often than Jason Kidd did.

Hating on Rodgers does not mean that you should distort his academic record at Cal, he was a good student in his 2 years at Cal, earning all-academic honors.
Quote:
Aaron Rodgers reportedly maintained a 3.6 GPA during his time at the University of California, Berkeley. [1, 2]
Academic Honors and Records
- Academic Recognition: His strong grades earned him a spot on the First-Team Academic All-District and Second-Team Academic All-Pac-10 squads while playing for the Golden Bears. [1]
- Academic Background: Before transferring to Cal, he held an even higher 3.9 GPA at Butte Community College. He also achieved a 3.6 GPA during his high school years at Pleasant Valley High School. [1, 2, 3]
- Field of Study: He was an American Studies major during his undergraduate years before declaring for the NFL Draft. [1]
Rodgers also is the greatest football player ever to play at Cal, the amount of hate he gets from some fans is outrageous.
AR the victim of misinformation. Imagine that.

I remember when Rodgers almost flunked food appreciation.

He is among the greatest QBs of all time, 4 time NFL MVP and he wasn't even on a top team.
