Mark Murphy: Aaron Rodgers \'A Complicated Fella\' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Jun 12, 2021 6:10 pm

Mark Murphy invoiced the late Ted Thompson as describing Aaron Rodgers as “a complicated fella.”

Speaking at an event at Lambeau Field, Murphy made a halting remark indicating that Thompson, who drafted Rodgers, considered Rodgers to be “complicated.”

“I’m often reminded though of Ted Thompson, as most of you know, just a great general manager, passed away this past year — excuse me, earlier this year, often talked about Aaron, that he’s a comp — and it wasn’t just Aaron, a lot of different players. He would say ‘He’s a complicated fella.’ So, I’ll just say that,” Murphy said, via NBC 26 in Green Bay.

Thompson died in January and therefore isn\'t here to explain what he meant.

In that same answer without a sense of self-awareness, Murphy said, “the less both sides say publicly, the better.”

Are we sure Murphy "invoiced" Thompson?

I feel like Murphy probably "invoked" Thompson, but I suppose doing so may have come at an expense to Thompson which would lead to him being invoiced for the work completed.

Something tells me that invoice isn't going to be paid.
