Why doesn't Aaron Rodgers talk to his family any more?

    Eh, we'd be lesser without it. We'll give Wally credit on that one.

    He was on The Bachelorette and won, I believe.

    Still don't know why this is a story other than his fame-seeking and less talented brother making a deal out of it.

    I imagine that Aaron doesn't talk to them because he sees himself as superior to them for whatever reason. He has a major chip from not getting recruited, falling in the draft, sitting behind Favre, etc.

    There's a part of me that admires this, if his family are leeches. I have way too much of my family I must communicate with out of obligation -- even if they treat me like crap.

    Maybe it's just me, but the sense I get from Aaron Rodgers every time I hear him speak is that he's kind of a prick.

    I think he's condescending and arrogant -- which perhaps comes from accomplishing what he has accomplished and wondering why others close to him can't or won't do the same.

    Close. What a way to frame it. He's the backwoods dude in Arkansas, essentially, only he's rich.

    With the proliferation of "stuff actors can be on" we've been graced with half-baked comic talents such as Munn, Aubrey Plaza, the jackass in the upcoming Fist Fight and the Sklar Brothers. That Munn is a star on any level is amazing to me.

    I thought Munn was pretty good in Newsroom, before the show got bad.

    Early adopter in the Internet hack fame game too. I might be old and senile and forget my kids' names someday, but I'll still remember "lick my tight asshole and choke me." She's one heck of a caption writer.

    She was the best part of that show, even though Sorkin struggles to write female characters. I think Alma and I have very different ideas of what's funny.

    I think Alma cherishes having different ideas from everyone on everything.

    The fourth or fifth lead on an ill-fated TV show isn't a star. It's just an actor. And a mediocre one at that.
