Aaron Rodgers calls out his young wide receivers

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers called out his young wide receivers on Tuesday, calling them "piss poor," which is not nearly close to the words I would have used to call out the Ravens' wide receivers the past two seasons.

Rodgers has been angry about a numerous amount of things this offseason, including (but not limited to): the release of BFF WR Jordy Nelson, the status of his contract, and his "gf" Danica Patrick's hilariously un-funny hosting job on the ESPYs. He's allowed to be upset -- I would be if I were the best quarterback in the NFL and the new guys they got to play with me (assuming, yanno, they go out and GET guys to play with you -- can't relate) put forth a poor effort. We all have bad days and I'm just gonna give them the benefit of the doubt here that Aaron got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, along with all of his young WRs. He can throw to a tree and still be the best QB in the league, anyway.

buzz-worthy:

• It hasn't been a secret that I'm secretly in love with Arizona Cardinals rookie QB Josh Rosen. So it thrills me to announce that he's sitting at number two on the depth chart, but is still taking veteran reps in training camp on days when Sam Bradford has his rest days wrapping himself in pillows. There is hope yet.
• The biggest fraudulent franchise in sports, the Washington Redskins not only brushed over the fact that there isn't actually a waiting list for season tickets like they said there was, but now they're struggling hard to sell tickets in general. It's almost like people don't want to pay an unreal amount of cash to sit behind poles, walk 13 miles on foot to get from the parking lot to the stadium, or just give Dan Snyder any of their money in general after he's proven he doesn't give a shit about the fans every year. Hm
• Ed Reed trolled the living hell out of me on Tuesday by attending Falcons training camp. Honestly, I wanted to go myself, but was afraid I wouldn't be welcomed. Can't figure out why. Anyway, it's about time they had a good player on the field.
• In the least surprising news ever, Richie Incognito went batshit again on Twitter, even though I couldn't see all the action. In a nutshell, Incognito claimed the Minnesota Vikings called him about a job, while head coach Mike Zimmer said it never happened, which then resulted in Incognito calling Zimmer a "fucking liar" on Twitter. He then posted screenshots of a convo he had with Tony Sparano and even ended up posting his own phone number. Not great! In a total non-joking way, Incognito's biggest concern right now should be taking care of himself and his mental health.
• Baltimore Ravens frequently hurt people ​Maxx Williams and Kenneth Dixon were both (guess what!) hurt at Tuesday's training camp practice, both walking off with trainers. Drink.
• Los Angeles Rams CB Aqib Talib says his feud with Ravens WR Michael Crabtree​ is "dead." I'm still holding out hope for some chain-snatching on Thursday night to make the preseason a little more interesting.
• HGTV bought the Brady Bunch house, after winning a bidding war between numerous buyers, including Lance Bass. The amount of godly horrible but addicting home improvement/renovation shows that can come from this is nauseating. I feel like I can kind of trust Lance Bass to not change a single thing.
• In 100% Cleveland Browns news, WR Antonio Callaway was promoted to the starting lineup (Corey Coleman trade). But this happened AFTER he was stopped on Sunday night for a traffic violation which resulted in a marijuana violation and driving with a suspended license. Of course.
• Los Angeles Chargers DE Joey Bosa was injured in Tuesday's practice, but -- don't panic -- the injury is said to be "nothing serious." In John Harbaugh-language this could mean almost anything, but the Chargers are assured that they got good news, especially with their recent injury history. 
• Free agent CB Bashaud Breeland has been making the rounds - he visited with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, which just might seal the deal. I'd cut the visits there tbh. I'd list all the teams he's worked out with so far this offseason, but I'm better off listing the ones he hasn't worked out with this offseason.

Last word:

Marshawn Lynch breaking the ice with rookie RB Chris Warren back when he was signed:
“Why weren’t you drafted?”
“I don’t know.”
“You did something wrong, huh?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“Yeah, you did.”
