NFL Update: Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers announces intention to play for New York Jets
On Wednesday, March 15th, Green Back Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went on the Pat McAfee Show and announced his intention to play for the New York Jets. The future Hall of Famer had been keeping football fans in the dark while planning his next move — with the irony being that he spent a few days in the dark himself — but the legend now looks like he'll be heading to a franchise that has been desperate for a quarterback. The two sides just need to work through the logistics of the trade.

Lombardi: What will the Chicago Bears do at quarterback?
NFL Combine week always reminds me of the HBO series, The Sopranos—well, in all honestly, almost everything in my life has a way of referencing the show. During the second season, before Tony Soprano was about to kill his best friend Big Pussy for confessing to being a turncoat, Pussy attempted to explain that he was not turning on his family. Rather, he was providing the Federal Agents misinformation. As Puss said, “I'm telling you, this disinformation stuff is an effective technique.” The misinformation technique didn’t work well for Puss. However, it can for NFL Teams as their decision makers head to Indianapolis to take in the combine, meet with college players and agents, as well as frame trades and spread their misinformation. The news will grab headlines, and even when it doesn’t make sense when framed against the games played last season, the wildfire of perceptions when started is hard to contain—like the one blowing in from the windy city, of Chicago.
