Thanks for stopping by, make yourself at home, and just to give you time to plan accordingly - we've got a brand new Rewinder coming Saturday, then Prism episode 3 on Tuesday. See you then? I hope? Love you

No mainstream sports media source would do something as novel or entertaining as series like dorktown or prism

The one thing you didn't mention was that, in addition to his play, the other big thing that helped Rodgers win over the fans was the fact that Favre went to the Vikings, which Packers fans saw as a betrayal, and caused them to rally around Favre's replacement.

I've realized what makes SB great. It's the writing, and the pacing, and the editing and the attention to detail and the delivery and the content and the robust research and the...

To this day, I am so glad the front office got tired of Favre's retirement antics and didn't let him come back when he unretired. He held the team hostage toward the end of his career in Green Bay and his consistency fell off. Just look at how their playoff runs went in his final years. Of course, it looks right in hindsight from Rodgers' performance, but at the time, it was a gutsy move.

A lot of revisionist history exists with Rodgers. Glad this is here to make sure people remember how his first 3 years in the league went and compare it to Jordan love

"None shine brighter than Aaron Rodgers, the center of the Packers universe" . What a way to sum up Aaron Rodgers

This channel has changed my perception of sports and I was always a big fan. But now I see the magic of an unpredictable reality and the self indulgent grandiose nature of that reality playing out on fields and courts with no discernable benefit beyond glory. A bunch of weird men and women making a fire out in all that dark. Thank you SB.

This was a really good story. Alot of us, being from Wisconsin, forgot how much Farve didn't want Rodgers and how much Farve hand tied us. Not many teams go from HoF qb to HoF qb and the Packers fans have been blessed.

I’m glad Aaron found a good outlet in the Pat Mcafee show. Everyone has all these opinions about Aaron but Aaron’s never really been polled on what he thinks. He was never a media darling and he probably won’t ever be. Yet to those who want to know what Aaron Rodgers is like, look no further than YT.

Can we just take a minute and appreciate SB for giving us content THIS good, completely free

As a hockey fan first, it reminds me a lot of the Canadiens being gifted a 5th overall pick in 2005 and drafting Carey Price. It confused and angered many for Montreal to get a goalie, which is about as important a position as a QB, when the team had Theodore and a deep prospect chart that included Christobal Huet. Hockey "analyst" Pierre McGuire was especially scathing at the team's decision. There were especially tensions in 2010 when Jaroslav Halak took over the starting job in the playoffs and rode the Habs to a Conference Finals, upsetting both the regular season champions and the reigning Cup champions thanks to his heroics. That Summer, Montreal would trade Halak, saying that Price was still the goalie of the future. I remember a really lousy preseason game few months later where Price was getting booed and was dragged even more in the media after he said that it wasn't a big deal to have a bad performance in a preseason game. Carey Price ended up being am elite goaltender, making the Canadiens do wonders even without much of a good team ahead of him. Though his career was sadly marred with injuries, he is still the only goaltender in the last twenty years to win MVP in 2015, and dragged the Canadiens to an extremely unlikely Stanley Cup Finals in 2021 almost by himself. Even superstar Sidney Crosby once called him the best goalie in the world. Carey Price has been the face of the franchise for a long, long time, and is a lock for a first ballot Hall of Famer. But damn, didn't it look like it when he was first drafted...

best sports content on the planet. to be honest, i dont care much about football or baseball (i'm from switzerland, we dont have those sports here) but i love pretty much all secret base vids!! good job guys and thank you very much for all the great content!!

This is very similar to how Jordan Love is being treated now. We’ve hardly seen Love really play and yet Packer fans are already condemning him as a failed draft pick.

This will need a part 2 when he retires

I've been a Packer fan my entire life. There was nothing quite like 2008. Brett Favre came out of retirement and the Packers said they wouldn't make him the starter (Because Rodgers already was) so he requested a trade. Most people wanted Brett Favre back. I was one of the few that didn't. Favre was like 37 years old at the time and I knew he had only a few more seasons left in him. I didn't think they should tell Rodgers off just because Favre couldn't make a decision about his retirement and wanted to come back. He had waited 3 years behind Favre at that point and I wanted to see what the guy could do. In retrospect, Rodgers is actually a better player than Favre by most measurements. I didn't know what to think of Rodgers around that time and I did have some doubts but the guy earned his chance to play and has made the most of it.

71,838 yards TD 508 INT 336 for Brett Frave. AR12 stats minus the yards difference AR12 Is better in every way possible at the QB spot. It's mind blowing his 93 INT compared to Brett who had 336 thats and insane difference. 55,360 Yards 449 TD 93 INT

Lets goo new SB 🤧 y’all really changed the game of sports UKposts Fr keep on elevating!!!

I think viewing the Jordan Love pick from Aaron Rodgers' perspective is so poignant right now. Jordan Love might not be the future of the Packers, I'd even venture it say it probabilistically impossible for Love to replace Rodgers. But that doesn't mean you can't uplift him and give him the best possible chance to succeed. I would wish on nobody the adversity that Rodgers had to go through coming into the League.

Clara Morris just makes good content, become great content and I can't explain why. She just has an "it" factor. Good game, Clara!

I feel like Aaron Rodgers has been so good for so long people have forgotten how good Brett Favre was. Favre won 3 straight MVPs in 90s and retired as all time leader in almost every passing category. He was probably the most beloved player by his fan base and the national media when he first called it quits. I've felt that if there had been a couple year gap for the Packers between Favre and Rodgers where the team just totally sucked then Favre would be remembered more fondly. Unrelated but I've also thought that if Steve Young had the exact same career on a team other than the 49ers he would be considered much higher on the greatest QBs list. Young had multiple MVPs and some of the best stats for that era. Plus he was a dual threat.

Great video Clara, lot of people dont even know this time period existed. I def. bought a Jets Favre jersey, that thing was cleeeean lol

This reminds me that everyone needs to take it easy on Jordan Love. Let him ease into it. That's a good pattern.

Tom Brady's prism Is going to be a whole season. Great content as always!

This is a series that was designed for Mike Tyson.

Nothing for Rodgers was as bad as watching Dom Capers’ defense blow your leads for half the game

Imagine having back to back all time great QBs and winning just 2 rings in nearly 30 years lol

This channel is awesome. Shout out to A+ writing, pacing, editing, and delivery. Awesome stuff.

Please keep this amazing content up I love how you guys do what you do

Loving your new content, so so good. Completely unlike anything else in the sports space.

Wow. All I can say is wow. Excellent editing, premise, and delivery. This channel continues to raise the bar of in-depth sports entertainment.

Really love the new series! Keep it up

I remember having the exact opposite reaction to the Rodgers pick. Favre was just as reckless as he'd always been, but no longer had the athleticism and skill needed to pull off those miracles he's famous for. We were coming off a year where he threw four picks in the Wild Card round and we got beat at home by our divisional rival Vikings. He also had started that trend he had of annoyingly mulling retirement every season, hampering the team's ability to plan for his presence or absence. I had thought we needed to move on for a couple years at that point, actually. But I'm a Packers fan who doesn't live in Wisconsin; the experience there was likely different.

I’m loving this new series. Keep it up!

I don’t know, this made it seem like the crazies were a majority. As a life long GB fan I can tell you we loved Favre but we were sick of the weekly soap opera of if he’s gonna keep playing or not, with the retiring / un-retiring. I remember back then then thinking yeah it sucks to lose him but we can’t just keep his spot open every time he leaves hoping he comes back, this many times.

Here's a weird thing. I was the biggest Don Majikowski fan you'd find in my school. Brett Favre replaced MY favorite QB and a tiny part of me never forgave him, even despite a Super Bowl ring. That tiny part of me celebrated the day Rodgers was drafted. I'm sure there are still a few die hard Favre fans that have a little place in their heart waiting for the Jordan Love era to begin.

This is one of the reasons why I love Rodgers. He went through so much adversity in the beginning of his career and was still able to put together a HOF career. But like the rest of us, he's only human. He makes mistakes like anyone else, his are much more monitored since he's the face of the most historic NFL franchise

Clara Morris’s voice is very calming and nice to listen to. I’m enjoying how this series has had different voice overs so far.

rodgers was the reason i started watching football. im so connected to his story. im so tired of the hate he gets I clicked on this expecting more. nice to finally see someone acknowledge just how much hes overcome... great video.

I remember in 2005, scratching my head thinking "What was Ted thinking?" I happily eat crow now as a Packers fan. Despite his recent eccentric behavior (then again the "Hippie Rodgers" seems more dangerous than the "God of Vengeance Rodgers" of the past), I know that most teams would still give anything for him. I enjoy that he's our QB given how amazing he performs and that we somehow caught lightning in a bottle by having two back-to-back first-round Hall of Fame QBs be primary starters in a row.

Claire: calls Aaron Rodgers a covid liar Dr Frauci: *am I a joke to you?*

I'm still not sure I understand the exact theme of this series, but I'm definitely enjoying it! Keep up the great work.

Yo, Prism is awesome. Can't wait to see more of these. Fantastic job.

Secret base on their way to do something beautiful and never before done and remain criminally underrated

Fighting in the age of loneliness was the first series I watched by secret base and that series spoke to me. these people are good at what they do. Please don't ever change your style.

The best thing to ever happen to Rodgers was Favre going to Minnesota. In 2008, I and many other Packers fans were diehard Brett Believers and rooted for him big time in New York. When he went to the Vikings, all of those haters did a 180 and put their faith in Rodgers. Aaron played damn well in 2009 and he won the Super Bowl the next year to begin his journey as the now undisputed most accomplished player in the history of the Green Bay Packers.

People forget the tough road Aaron Rodgers had to go through. Great job highlighting it

Aside from Favre ending up in Minnesota and leading teams to winning, was that Rodgers’ greatest strength is Favre’s biggest weakness: interceptions. Game after game, season after season, Favre would rip out your soul with a backbreaking interception. Barring other team issues, imagine how many Super Bowls Green Bay would have if Favre wasn’t the all time leader of throwing picks. So when presented with a QB with just as much arm talent, but astronomically better accuracy, you don’t pass that up. Let’s hope Love has been studying well underneath Rodgers.

Bruh this channel is amazing, It’s nothing on here I don’t enjoy. Thank you all for these sports stories!

The Secret Base is goated!!!! God bless you guys

The stories or rather the retelling of stories SB is so good. I live in India and I never cared about the NFL but I am, gratefully chomping down on any NFL or Football related video from SB. When a platform makes you care about something you've never cared about, that's when you know you're dealing with a special team of storytellers.

I'm loving this new Prism series. Great sportwriting.

Best channel on UKposts. Alway beautiful video. Thank you for the good quality entertainment

I remember watching that Dallas game and being like "Damn this guy can actually play!" That was a 13-3 Dallas team that season too so it was no small feat to play that well. The rest is history

If I were working in the sports media industry, I would place SB as my ultimate dream job. This channel produces the highest quality sports content I've ever seen.

It’s scary how much the start of rodger’s career parallels Jordan Love’s.

I’ve never been this early to a video. So good to be here

"Good night and good game" is an underrated banger of a send-off.

"Long haired Covid liar." In every episode you all have that one line that just cracks me up, it's not as funny out of context but within the context of each episode it's absolutely perfect and hilarious.

I love this series, excited to see more

So, the Jordan love situation way before jordan love was drafted.

I always stop by for any Aaron Rodgers and Packer Content 💯🧀

Gah I love y'alls channel so much these videos are better than anything out there rn and I aspire to hopefully one day join the team ❤

Great content as usual 👍🏼

This series is gonna be super cool. A cool episode would be Kimi Raikkonen's career. Was almost blocked from Formula 1 because he was too young, then left the sport as the most experienced driver of all time

Really enjoying this new concept so far. Might very well become my favorite in the future. I wouldn't mind if you guys made it a bit longer and more thorough.

Question, do you guys go for a particular vibe with your background music. I always love it. Very 2001ish

Time to do a new one on Jordan Love😂

Didn’t expect this right after I moved out of Wisconsin, but it’s a pretty good story for SB

SB does it again🔥🔥

Great work as always

Ive legit been waiting for a video on Aaron.

Dayum I love these joints…

The fumble by rodgers in 09 should have been facemask But year later we win a superbowl so it works out lol

This was an amazing video. I'm a Detroit fan living outside of Green Bay and lived through the transition of Farve to Rodgers. You nailed it!

Another SB upload? Where's my popcorn!

Clara Morris's narration ❤️

can y'all add a prism playlist, or put it as part of the title? Otherwise these are gonna be hard to find

Honestly, if I hadn't subbed a short time ago, this video would've earned my sub.

I hope Jordan Love proves everyone wrong too

Rangers vs Penguins Game 7 of winner rewind please

I lived near green bay during favres last season, retirement and then all the fall out. This is the best video on the subject I've ever seen! This is 100% accurate from someone who was there

you guys should do a rewind on Raiders vs Chiefs week 7 2017, it was a great game and had one of the best endings i’ve ever seen

Letttsssss gooooo new series????

“ CoViD LiAr “ Lmaooo

Perspective is a rare gift in today's world of instant journalism, and I'm extremely grateful that this series exists. This comment is a prayer to the Algorithm to take notice of my engagement and promote this content so that others might watch. Amen.

Tremendous video as always

Great job Clara !💪🏾😂

Favre's last play in 2007 was a stupid interception he tossed to Corey Webster. As a Giants fan, I will always be grateful.

Great video as always

Y’all should do a collapse video of the Pete and Russ era in Seattle (which included LOB) That would be pretty sick

Thanks for another great sports upload

you guys could do a story on basically anything sports related and I will watch and eat up every min of it.

Fantastic video coming from a Packers fan!

Terrific video. I remember I was 8 or 9 years old when Favre retired. I remember not really knowing who Aaron was since I never really followed the draft when I was younger nor knew much about any other players other than Favre, Donald Driver, Nick Collins, and AJ Hawk. The only things I really remember from Favre's last few pre 1st retirement years was a lot of interceptions and the 2007 playoff loss to the giants. I remember not really caring too much when he tried to come back and maybe it is because I was only 7 or 8 years old but boy was I furious when he signed with Minnesota. Watching him leave to play for the Vikes made it so easy to dislike him and hop on the Rodgers train when it left the station. I do not remember hearing or reading much about all the Rodgers hate that was going on when Favre wanted to come back but when all the talk of Rodgers leaving was swirling around a few years ago I would have been so upset if he had left and Jordan Love would have been our quarterback. I think it is much easier to want Rodgers to stay because he is still playing at a GOAT level and Favre had noticeably been declining. But that being said I would have supported Love either way and wanted him to succeed. Maybe its just the older generation of fans or something thinking it was ok to come down on Rodgers like that but in my eyes you can never blame a young kid for the position the front office is putting him in. Was I happy with the Jordan Love trade, no but he didn't deserve any hate at all for the position he was put in.

Growing up a diehard Packer fan, Favre was my hero. However, I was not upset when they drafted Rodgers. I knew Favre’s time was coming but I was hoping he could hang on. Even back then I never understood how the Packers fans could hate a guy so much that we had never even seen play. I always wanted Favre as our QB, but every player has their time. I was lucky enough to see Rodgers his rookie year against the Steelers in preseason with my dad. I was so happy to finally see my hero Favre play even four downs that game, but the the thing that really stuck with me and my dad was how well Rodgers played that day. Both of us left saying to each other that Rodgers looked like he could become a star. I knew after that day the Packers were in good hands after Favre.

Love this series Primus

When i first started watching Secret Base, it was the Beef series; and I thought Clara's voice was one of the guys using a voice changer at first. Her videos have always been my favorite.

Packers fan from Milwaukee here. I had just entered my teenage years when Rodgers was drafted, so I don't remember people being that irate. I also know that when Favre retired, people around my circle were sad for a few days, and then moved on and got ready for Rodgers. I think that Dallas game in 2007 reassured a lot of Packer fans that we were going to be alright. In fact, there were many in my circle (myself included) that even back then said trading Favre was the tough but correct choice when he said he wanted to come back. I guess what I'm saying is the Rodgers vitriol was real, but not nearly as consensus as the video implies. Great video though. PS: Not really related, but since we're comparing Rodgers and Favre, I find it amusing how dominant Favre was against the 49ers and dismal against the Cowboys, while Rodgers is exactly the opposite.
