Aaron Rodgers is somehow in the middle of a Matt LaFleur-Kyle Shanahan beef

Since it's apparently Aaron Rodgers Week, would you be interested in some juicy goss about Rodgers homewrecking the friendship between Matt LaFleur and Kyle Shanahan? Well you're in for a treat then, because that's exactly what we got on Wednesday.

Talking to Kay Adams on her daily morning show, NFL reporter Michael Silver told a fun ("fun") story about how a rumor about Rodgers from a few years back drove a serious wedge between the two friends.

Aaron Rodgers is somehow in the middle of a LaFleur-Shanahan beef

"There was a period where Kyle Shanahan and Matt LaFleur, who had once been very close, didn't speak for months during a very contentious 2021 season," he said. "And it was preciptated by that draft drama ... there was a lot of talk that Aaron Rodgers would be suddenly traded to the Broncos that night. It didn't happen. But there were also reports about the 49ers and Aaron Rodgers. To Matt LaFleur, they seemed suspiciously timed. He felt a little betrayed, or a lot of betrayed, by Kyle Shanahan, who knew a lot. It let to a blowup that famously, when the Packers beat them in that regular season game, they had one of the chilliest, non-Belichick handshakes in football history. They've since repaired it."

If this isn't peak offseason content, I don't know what is. You know that time when you were mad at your friend for a very small thing but hugely overreacted to it because you had other stuff going on in your life and you wanted to project? That's this, but at the NFL Draft. It's nice to know that even these master strategists of NFL football still have a hard time "expressing" "feelings" to their buddies. Nothing makes you feel better about your own life choices than seeing that even people who have made it to the top of the NFL still behave like high schoolers when the opportunity calls for it. There's hope for us all.
