Phily - where they threw batteries at Santa Claus.
To be fair, these incidents were pretty funny. snowballs/batteries thrown at Santa is pretty funny.
Yeah, I think this is it, in part due to the hit he'd take regarding his reputation. Just look at how bad Brrett Farve looked by his retiring/unretiring. Also, look at his dedication this past season. He took time off before the season, then something along the lines of wednesdays off. He flew to attend a wedding on a Friday. Imo, he wasn't 100% vested in the season.
Also as I mentioned, who would be interested in him? He fell into an excellent situation with the bucs, and was able to bring talent with him. Gronk, AB. Any future un-retirement wouldn't work out like that.
Finally - Time with his family. I can't say this for sure but the talking heads on espn have continually pointed out that he doesn't want to live on the west coast and have his family on the east coast. I can't say for sure but he may want to embrace the whole fatherhood ideal at this stage.
Could you imagine...
"Well folks, Tom here, looks like I am going to take my talents to {Insert Team Here}, can't wait to take them to the Super Bowl"
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
But what if......
Mid-season, a QB on a contender goes down..... Half/quarter of a season, chance for a ring......
I feel sorry for him because his women are all so unattractive ...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's only two HC spots left open - Arizona and Indy. So some of the talking heads said that Jeff Saturday was the favorite but things have cooled. I wonder if Arizona is waiting until the super bowl ends to hire someone.
More and more, the constraint of not hiring an active OC/DC from a team in the playoffs is hurting what may be the best assistant coaches. Franchises are in a rush it seems to fill the HC spot, and so any asst. coach still active in post season is at a disadvantage.

Looks like that video is not available to the unwashed masses
I forgot who said it, or where I saw it, but they were talking about McDaniel's being a strong personality, i.e., running the team his way, ala Bill Belichick and that would fly in the face of Rodgers being so coddled for years.
LV has the #7 pick overall this year, which is very good, and I correct me if I'm wrong, but GB expects Rodgers to garner at least 2 first round picks.
On one hand, with that team, you suddenly elevate the team to potential super bowl candidate, but on the other hand you sacrifice the future, i.e., maybe getting 2 years from Rodgers (if you're lucky) and no draft picks for 2023, 2024.
Then there's the drama he brings to the team, I'm just not a fan of Rodgers these past few years. He seems like a butt hurt spoiled brat (who's incredibly talented).
I was a big fan of Aaron Rodgers, but have cooled on my enthusiasm in the last few years. He seems to have become more self-centered. Every game, the cameras will capture multiple shots of him rolling his eyes after an incomplete pass. I doubt that he thinks it is always his fault. I never see a shot of him on the sidelines talking to teammates. A real leader would be encouraging guys, and wouldn't have to be full bore "Rah, Rah" to do it.
Or they can get nothing for him and if he comes back, they have to pay him $50M+. And they will still suck.
In some ways they would be better off letting him walk just to get rid of that cap hit.
Rodgers has harbored a chip on his shoulder ever since that draft day when he sat at the table alone, as the others were called up to the stage, and he waited until #24. The kookiness only surfaced in the more recent past.
The Raiders haven't had any consistent, demonstrable success, and their last Super Bowl appearance was almost 40 years ago.
They're probably the only franchise that can rival Dallas in thinking so highly of themselves, but at least the Cowboys' SB drought extends to 27 years or so.
And how many sports franchises have abandoned their home city, and treasured fans, not once, but twice, in search ofglory money?
Rodgers and the Raiders are made for each other, and should it happen, the potential amount of gossipy talk resulting from that pairing would be spectacular. Who can eye roll the best? Rodgers, the coach, or Mark Davis? How many people can fit under that proverbial bus?

It was 20 years ago... https://i.imgflip.com/7a20ny.jpg
Spot on. That said, apparently the revenue they were receiving from being in Oakland was a pittance and kept them from being competitive ... or so they thought. Turns out they are a poorly run team with an idiot at the helm.
Good shout and, as a RAIDER fan, I am mostly agreed.
Given Purdy’s injury, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the 49ers bring back Jimmy G for one more year.
