don't expect aaron rodgers to make mistakes this weekend. just four interceptions on the season. he hasn't thrown it to the other team since mid-november. you're not going to completely contain number 12. he's going to get his him about some pressure early will be vital, so the much-needed newsbreak earlier, how about nick bosa clearing concussion protocols. he will play tomorrow against the packers. he missed the second half of last week's win in dallas. he was fourth in the nfl with 15.5 sacks this season. another key for the niners to pull the upset tomorrow, how about getting off to a fast start. they forced dallas to play catch-up ball game after san francisco scored on their opening drive and jumped out to a 13-0 lead. >> it would be huge. you're on the road against the top team in the nfc. i think, i would love for us to have a hot start. that will be the goal going in. there would be the goal every single game. we had a hot start last week and it carried us throughout the game. >> reporter: we can all agree that the method beating this team is, you take the forrest gump a

first, let's talk about aaron rodgers. many people say twitter was created for nights like saturday night. rodgers loses and, of course, twitter lights up for the next two days. but talk about aaron rodgers and how his own teammates, his own coaches, some of his own fans have trouble wrapping their arms around this incredibly talented quarterback. >> it is such a difficult thing to reconcile. he is one of the great quarterbacks in league history, not just currently but of all time, but at the same time he has become incredibly polarizing. the vaccination lie that he told back in july because he intensely hates criticism. he wants to be praised, he doesn't want to be criticized. that's what caused all of this. we have seen so much of that from aaron rodgers, especially in recent years. he has been talking more, he has been using his platforms, and he wants to have that attention and adulation with none of the criticism that goes along with it. i don't see that ending regardless of whether he retires or he plays for somebody

let's focus on aaron rodgers. aaron rodgers came under heavy fire for suggesting he wasin vaccinated, wasn't fully vaccinated. you know, he's a healthy athlete. why aren't more people willing to accept that the idea off freedom, medical privacy, doctor patient confidentiality and nownt we know that whether you vaccinated a booster and had natural immunity still going to get it. is he still say it's a it's a disease of the unvaccinated? dhe's wrong. joe biden is.hi and i actually think first of all, you're right, sean. it was an incredible weekend of nfl. everythingnd game was decidedfi on the final play. and i got to say i know there's a lot of people watching out there in buffalo crushingre 13 seconds of defeat a there at the end of the regulation. but josh allen's going to win you a super bowl sean run that save it at some point.me i'm telling you josh allen is going to bring it to the promised land. i thought he 13 seconds left. it oh , i couldn't believe it. there's a great game. i don't look here. here is whe

aaron rodgers. different situation. although there was an issue with antonio brown. why did he get chance after chance? because he's a model citizen? no. he's an outstanding talent. not every athlete, on a few fall into that category, but here's what you need to know about aaron rodgers. because he tested positive in november, under the existing rules, he got a 90-day exception from being tested again. that as it happens runs out two days after the nfc championship game. the packers are the number one seed. they get a first round bye. they have all home games. pretty good chance to get to the super bowl. now, two days after the nfc championship, 12, 13 days, whatever it is before the super bowl. if he tests positive, because he's unvaccinated, he'll be tested every day. hasn't been tested during the 90 days. he'll be tested every day leading up to the super bowl if the packers are in it. if he tests positive, he's out for five days. so the best scenario for him and the packers if he's going to test positive, have it happen prior to five days before the super bowl. if

so in addition to the challenge that aaron rodgers and the green bay packers, the forty-niners are going to be battling below freezing temperatures on saturday. temperatures for kickoff are expected to be 15 degrees. but with that wind chill, it is going to feel like we are in the single digits here in green bay prior to departing to the frozen tundra. niners head coach kyle shanahan said that he would give his team at the opportunity to take in the elements if they wanted, but he didn't think it was going to help in terms of game planning. >> me personally, it's not about getting used to. it's about going out and doing it for 3 and a half hours. make to get your mindset that i can do this for 3 and a half hours and focus on the game and everything. i don't think you go out and freeze the day before and think that your body is going to be more used to it the next day. that's me personally. but i'll talk to our players here a little bit on the plane. we've got a couple options and what we can do. we can go outside. we have plenty of room in the hotel with the barman something walk through

look, aaron rodgers is one of the greatest players of all time. he's the best and most valuable player in the national football league. no green bay packer, given the fact that almost all of them are vaccinated and they're young and healthy, thinks that ducking into a huddle with aaron rodgers puts their individual health in jeopardy. but should the packers, who have a good path to the super bowl, get as far as the super bowl? there are different protocols for unvaccinated and vaccinated players, still. he had a 90-day exemplition aft he tested positive in early november. that exemption, as it happens, runs out two days after the championship games. if aaron rodgers should make it to the super bowl and the wednesday before the game he tests positive, completely asymptomatic, he can't play in the super bowl. is that what an unselfish, good team player does? he's a great player, and for what it's worth, in my dealings with him, which go back a few years because i don't cover major league sports anymore, i liked him, i don't have an axe to ground. bu

it happened twice to aaron rodgers. it happened to mahomes against brady. it happened to matt ryan against brady in a super bowl. here it is happening again to aaron rodgers twice. consecutive post seasons. never touched the ball. this rule is like in the seventh game of the world series in the top of the tenth the visiting team scores on a home run game over. if they score on a single or sacrifice fly the home team gets to bat the bottom of the tenth. it's insane. it cuts into the drama. it's on its face unfair. >> a game that is offense and defense. if you don't want them to score you put up a good defense. so look. >> you tell me if you won the coin toss would you ever choose to kick and just play defense? >> no. >> you'd only lose. >> look, it's a game first of all. let's not get carried away. >> yeah it's a game. >> also like family feud when if people get the thing, they always say pass or play. they always want to play. it is what it is. i've seen people, i've seen games where the people who received first have lost. they have lost. >> yes. >> becaus

i texted with aaron rodgers this morning. my mindset was to make sure we were the only team moving on after this. >> michele: what were you texting aaron rodgers about? >> he always been good to me ever since i came in the league. aaron, appreciate you, man. we became friends and we talk and i appreciate the encouragement today. >> michele: you seem really calm right now. >> yeah. >> michele: this is the fourth straight win for a team that was 6-7 and against every single odd has managed to get back to the playoffs and you'll be playing this time. how do you describe this? >> i'll have a lot of emotion later, probably. a lot of heart ache and a lot of hard times and a lot of fight and a lot of grit. but the job is not done. so there is something sick in me that just feels like this is awesome, this is cool, this is what we do it for you about the job is not done. >> michele: the job i guess starts next weekend weekend again. congratulations, derek. >> thank you so much. appreciate you. >> michele:al? >> al: thank you, michele

that makes it even more rare, even more impactful, and even more memorable. >> aaron rodgers became a massively polarizing figure this year over being unvaccinated. how much do you think that is going to have an impact on his legacy? because after he lost, i mean, the attacks on him, like, hey, dude, great, you've got time to do your own research people were crushing him. is the anti-vaccination thing going to be his legacy? >> i think his legacy will continue to evolve and develop based on what he does post-football. he's made it clear in the past that he's not interested in getting into sports broadcasting, but given the extent to which the guy has been talking this year, i feel like he's going to find a platform somewhere and he's going to continue to do something. remember, last year, he hosted jeopardy for a couple of weeks and was actually pretty good at that and was in consideration for the full-time gig. and was actually interested in it and not afraid to say so. he's going to find a lane somewhere. he's going to be around. so he's got a lot of chapters left in this book, and

he is the opposite of aaron rodgers. you put aaron rodgers in a game he has to win, he's not coming through for you. burrow is a lot like allen last week. he is a lot like mahomes. of course, they're the best in the league. but joe burrow is just a guy that knows how to win football games, a natural-born leader. he never want to count him or the bengals out. man, they have a shot of beating a great chiefs' team. >> they do. it is going to be tough playing on the road at arrow head on sunday but i agree. i love that team. i have been picking them all through these playoffs. they're young, they're sort of carefree, they're rising to the moment, they don't feel the pressure it would appear. if you think back a generation really, the bengals have been the joke of the league, along with the jets, of course. >> yeah. >> in two years what they've done since they drafted joe burrow -- >> with the jets, of course. >> and they have ja'marr chase, the wide receiver, both of who played for lsu, winning a national title, they turned

and then a later week later we beat at aaron rodgers. but -- not against the 49ers who our for an all against him in the season. >> -- but i'm with you on that, as growing up rock owens fans, if you beat the cowboys i just love you. real quick, to tell us all about your book. >> go back where to get to where you came from, coming out tomorrow, it's about loving a country that doesn't always love you back. it's an elegy for the rest of us who are still not seen as a cool protect this of america, but stretching and expanding this country to expand the rest of us. as there are forces right now, joy, trying to respect us and only make one hero, the hero with the white complexion -- the right complexion. but the rest of us, we're not trying to replace you, we just want to piece of the delicious american pie. >> yeah, we can't see your short because there's a spanner underneath. so can you stand up a little bit so we can see assured. i love that. >> that i, why don't you give me something? >> -- every immigrant parents sounds exactly like that

if they beat aaron rodgers and mark it down, i think it will go all the way to the super bowl. i really mean that they but keep your eye on nick bosa, whether or not he will play. and fred warner, it look like you're trying to go back into the game yesterday with his ankle injury. >> we'll see what happens with that. bell earned. i think everybody still talking. let's face it changed the biggest talking. the nfl is regardless of what the 9 worst and why did you run the ball 14 seconds left. that is that we you and i were texting just that with no timeouts. it made absolutely no sense. i think the national sports media and definitely dallas sports media are probably going to be repping into that. >> all day today, james, you sees you saw some of the pictures of the fans. i felt like that woman like. yeah, it's totally dejected in the stands. plenty to talk about what this all morning long. we'll we'll chat again soon. thank you so much for a great look at the highlights from last night. >> you're good sport. all right. time now is 5, 0, 6, let's turn our attention now. back to t

. >> shailene woodley and aaron rodgers, also on opposite sides, got engaged a year ago. a source telling "people", early on they decided to agree to disagree about things. and not debate them. the experts say this can work. >> we're going to protect each other's beliefs, but respect that we believe different things. but i never recommend not talking about something in a relationship. if this is such a difference that they can't sit with, they will avoid it until it eventually explodes. >> as for rfk jr., he said i apologize for my reference to anne frank. especially for families that suffered the holocaust horrors. cheryl hines liking it but saying while we love each other we differ on many issues. look at your own life values. what can you compromise on, what can't you, and if you need help, there's always couples therapy which is especially popular in this social and political climate. >> you should go before you need to go. i mean, it also -- politics sometimes isn't important to a lot of people. and so if it's something that is very low on the scale for you, then may

this reminds me of the aaron rodgers situation in the nfl, i get. both of these guys aren't following by the rules but the rules don't make any sense we got government lying to us and jen psaki say is no pandemic of the unvaccinated -- that's not true. vaccinated people all across the country are catching covid in passing it on to other people. the rules don't make sense. sometimes we have to look at the rules and say do they make any sense? kennedy: we also have to be more sophisticated when we get new data in instead of link it policies, you can't come in here because i said so, that doesn't work forever people will start to revolt and some australians are grateful joke of it is being singled out in the prime minister admitted he was singled out. he got covid last month or two months ago and still allowed in the country so what's going on? it's arbitrary. >> i think you can see the record player playing the smollett record with the saddest song. tennis is a game of rules. i get tired of rich athletes whining because the rules have to apply to them

i am predicting that aaron rodgers is going to win a championship, though super bowl. he's going to have home field, and the buccaneers are going to lose at lambeau field. aaron rodgers will win the super bowl after having covid. i think that is perfect irony. last prediction, my consonants will grow to level no one thought would be possible. [laughter] >> along with your posture. [laughter] >> jesse: be prepared for me to be insufferable. >> if your posture improves, it helps your confidence. [laughter] >> in the general election, the republican party will sweep. i think there will be a seminal seat change in american politics, and the g.o.p. will be the dominant party. i think they will have both houses of congress, but i think, interestingly, liz cheney will survive the primary challenge in wyoming, despite the best efforts of donald trump, and i think that donald trump, as long as he does not deal with the fallout from the january 6th write ups the invasion of capital, when democracy teetered, but he will not be the candidate, certainly will not be president, but i

>> aaron rodgers deny boycott of super bowl for covid protocols. qb took to twitter to shoot down what he called fake news. let me jumping and say this, even if aaron rogers did boycott the super bowl, i'm not impressed because the jets have been boycotting for super bowl for 50 years but enough. the real reason we are in this position people going after aaron waters, the rumor started because of a former new york jets quarterback who said on the morning radio show, not a superstar show like the guidelines and show what you can listen on fox news radio everyday, they started the rumor, there anti- aaron rogers because he's anti- vaccine mandates but the big headline for the quickly, before i give it to you, we were told we were all going to die at football games if we gathering big crowds but you >> aaron rodgers has made more sense than if many people. all right, this is my headline, so, police officers in pennsylvania were conducting a dui stop when they found a live deer in the trunk of a driver's car. so she hits the deer, this driver. the pass

but look, of course, novak djokovic, kyrie irving, aaron rodgers, they have the right to say they don't want to take the vaccine, but they don't necessarily have the right to do what all of us -- we've all had to make decisions, jim, in our own lives about our kids in school, getting vaccinated to be able to go to your job, to be able to be a teacher. all of these things are issues for everybody around the world, and djokovic knows he was playing with fire. but i do believe he's being used as a political pawn and the treatment he's received since arriving in australia have been pretty rough, and i think the tide is turning publicly a little bit in his favor. serbia is not angry at djokovic, now i think they're more angry about the lack of clarity from their own government. >> you raise a good point, patrick. i'm a. it sounds very detention facilitylike. that is odd. >> i think they wanted to make an example of him. i think that's just the this, as i said, became just a maelstrom -- just wildfire go going. ly. we've hdone everything they've asked of him to do in this country, but now the

can't disagree with the aaron rodgers, for example, decided to make his own medical decision to not get the vaccine. howard stern was in rage. he said aaron rodgers should be kicked out of the nfl appeared socializing is off-limits to howard stern. he scolded oprah because she had the audacity to host: brace yourselves: the christmas party. >> howard: i am amazed by oprah, i really am. in her instagram, she likes to take you into her house, where every night of christmas is a big party, celebration, she flies in a different shaft chef. everyone is sick. people have a 104 favor. i don't want to get sick. i'm hiding. everyone else is out running around. i see oprah's having dinner parties. >> tucker: the guy was always a narcissist, obviously. the show was about himself. but, again, he had spirit, bravery, but he's declined in this quivering mass of neuroses and hatred, hatred that has so overtaken him that anyone who is not overtaken by his command should die. >> howard: if it was up to me, anyone on vaccinated would not given permitted to a hospital. it had plenty of chances. they don't

aaron one of the vote ■said he will nt vote for aaron rodgers. he says this has nothing to do with his play on the field. it is because he would not get vaccinated. today, aaron rodgers responded. >>'s problem is i am not vaccinated. if he wants to go on a cruise -- his problem is i'm not vaccinated. if he wants to go on a crusade and come up with the next letter just for the season, then make it the most viable vaccinated player, then he should do that, but he is a bum. larry: i had to laugh. every week with another class. i have heard that before. it will not help. he doesn't care. he is rich. he's a great quarterback. all that. anyway. never mind. dan: thanks. tonight, the goldbergs from the wonder years, the connors, home economics, the chase, followed by the news at 11:00. ama: that is it for the news. we thank you for joining us. dan: appreciate your . we will you at 11:00. when a truck hit my car, the insurance company wasn't fair. i didn't know what my case was worth. so i called the barnes firm. i was hit by a car and needed help. i call

one of them, of course, aaron rodgers. back to you. >> no doubt, sam you said you wanted to hear the super bowl picks from this one. you're on the spot. >> i got one, jimmy garoppolo, up and comer with the 49ers. >> >> reporter: yes, i like that pick that's bold. there's people who think the san francisco 49ers can pull an upset here. i have bay area roots i'm with you. >> i'm a bay area guy, too. we spent 45 minutes practicing that. >> reporter: perfect execution. >> enjoy tonight's game, i'm picking the bills and bucs. you can watch the bills and rams battle it out tomorrow here on nbc. nbc is the only place to watch super bowl lvxi. >> i'm relieved, i nailed it. somara, your picks? >> you were all of us. i don't know, peter i need you to train me before that toss next time. >> we're on it. >>> i am going to talk about the weather. i think i can nail that. looking outside, i don't know if cold has a look, but this morning it looks cold. buffalo right now, wind chill minus 5 degrees. 4 degrees is the current temperature t

he's not the aaron rodgers anti-vaxer who tells you that there are other different forms of treatment that you can take and that he's going to sort of play hocus-pocus with the words telling you that he's not vaccinated but immunized the way aaron rodgers did. for novak, this has been a personal choice he's not going to get vaccinated, but at the same time the end result becomes the same because instead of doing what kyrie irving said which is to say okay, these are the rules, i choose not to play by them, which is his right, he went looking for loopholes and was incredibly reckless. novak djokovic is a player who wants to be known as a great person. he's not one of these people that is not aware of criticism. he wants to be loved and he is beloved in his country and a lot of people really do look up to him. that's why some of this is so bizarre in toerls oterms of his cageyness about his vaccination status. in 2020 he was the one in the middle of the pandemic before there were vaccines who had -- who organized a maskless tournament that turned out to be a superspreader event. it's ju

number one seed fully rested at home with aaron rodgers. but 0-3 against the 49ers in the playoffs going into this one. and it appears they're still his kryptonite. incredible scene lambeau field looking like a football snow globe. packers fans cheering on their future hall of famer quarterback. but ryans and his defense stymied them. five sacks. zero touchdowns. and these hits hurt in the cold. rodgers frustrated all night but green bay had a 10-3 lead late into the fourth until this! >> they block the punt! they block the punt and and it's rolling free. >> the 49ers scoop it. hufanga scored! touchdown san francisco! >> san francisco's second blocked kick of the night changing everything. frozen tundra, silent now. after another huge defensive stop on the packers' next possession, the 49ers get the ball in field goal position and the kicker robby gold, golden. niners win two straight on the road sending aaron rodgers and the packers packing. >>> the other matchup between the titans and bengals. titans fans roaring for derek henry for his f
