What did Aaron Rodgers say about abortion, California and Donald ... (AS English)

During a recent appearance on Bill Maher's "Club Random", the Packers star had a lot to say about abortion, California and even Donald Trump himself.

“As much as I might lean more pro-life, I don’t want the government to tell me I can’t smoke a cigar, I can’t have a drink of alcohol, I can’t choose my own medical decisions. “I think there’s a lot of people that believe that you should have your own decision-making on your own medical decisions,” Rodgers said. And the government should not have a decision that infringes upon my own personal freedoms.” I don’t believe the government should have any control over what we do with our bodies.” As a native of California, Aaron Rodgers has never hidden his love for his home state. Yet during a recent appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random,” it wasn’t words of praise that the Packers QB had for the leadership of the Golden State.

Cal in NFL: Aaron Rodgers Struggles in Season-Opening Loss Again (CalBearsMaven)

First play seemed to doom Packers' quarterback. Keenan Allen leaves with hamstring injury. Jared Goff produces 35 points in Lions' loss.

It was a reminder of how the 2021 season started for Rodgers and the Packers. Goff directed an 11-play, 72-yard drive that he ended with his 22-yard touchdown pass to DJ Chark to close the gap to 38-35 with 3:51 left. There had been questions throughout the offseason on whether Rodgers would have as much success without Adams, who was traded to the Raiders at Adams' request. Safety Elijah Hicks did not play Sunday. Rodgers launched a perfect pass to an open Christian Watson, the Packers' second-round draft pick who was behind the defense. In the 2021 opener, he had one of the worst games of his career, going 15-for-28 for 133 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in a 38-3 loss to the Saints.

His 184 yards is a career high and he also made his 200th career reception, becoming the fourth fastest in NFL history to reach that number. Jarvis Landry did it in 33 games, Michael Thomas accomplished the feat in 32 and it took Odell Beckham Jr. But here in lies the debate: Was Rodgers saying Jefferson was the best player in that very specific game between the Vikings and Packers, or did he mean Jefferson is the best player in the NFL right now?

Matt LaFleur fell on the sword for the Packers' Week 1 performance, but Aaron Rodgers preached patience after the Vikings' 23-7 win in Minnesota.

While Adams was busy catching 10 passes for 141 yards and a score in his Raiders [debut](https://www.nfl.com/games/raiders-at-chargers-2022-reg-1), the Packers' wide receivers collectively totaled 12 catches for 120 yards, the vast majority of which came after falling behind by 17 points. "It's the mental stuff that we just can't have because we're hurting ourselves." I had a lot of opportunities to score a lot more than seven (points)." They were abysmal in that bizarre season opener a year ago against the Saints, losing 38-3 and amassing only 229 yards and 14 first downs -- far worse than today. "We had a lot of chances today," Rodgers said. Doing it last year was one thing; taking that approach with a unit that's makeup has changed markedly is quite another. Part of that understandably could be chalked up to the offensive line being quite beat up. "I feel like we did some good things. LaFleur has authored more on-point game plans than not in his mostly brilliant Packers career. "Obviously, it wasn't very good," LaFleur said.

That throw, which [Harrison Smith](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/14945/harrison-smith) picked off, ended Rodgers' streak of touchdowns without an interception against an NFC North foe at 38 -- the most consecutive touchdown passes without a pick in divisional games in NFL history.

"It's the guys I trust the most and the guys the coaches trust the most. To be fair, Green Bay's receivers weren't the team's only issue Sunday. None of the Green Bay receivers were a factor. Green Bay just couldn't do that against the Vikings. Adding another mediocre free agent or swinging a trade for another team's cast-off is just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Watkins and Cobb have big seasons on their professional resumes, but they are shells of the player they once were. Way before body positioning and movement and throw, and all that stuff, are you in the right spot at the right time? "A lot of drops, a lot of bad route decisions, running the wrong route. "We're going to play our best guys when the season starts. That was followed by the stunning trade that sent star wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders.
