8. Aaron Rodgers

Okay, this one may cause some ways. How could I list a guy who many consider to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL? In terms of age and ability, he may be the best right now, right? Yes, I agree with that, but Rodgers is still a diva.

In 2012 during one of the many Green Bay Packers blowout wins over the Chicago Bears, Rodgers stepped back to make a throw. His receiver, James Jones, ran a bad route and the ball was intercepted. Rodgers proceeded to go out and undress Jones on the field of play for making Rodgers look bad.

After the blown “Failed Mary” touchdown call against the Packers by the replacement refs a couple of seasons ago, a photographer was trying to get video of Rodgers, who hits the camera.

Rodgers receives no criticism for those actions. Let’s say someone like, say, Jay Cutler was to do the same. Critics may call for his banishment from the NFL.

It isn’t just on the field where Rodgers is a diva. He gets upset at any perceived slight.

In an interview done on 60 Minutes, we got to see how sensitive Rodgers is. He doesn’t like people talking about his height (a fan in the video meets Rodgers and comments about how he looked shorter than on television and Rodgers seemed visibly upset). Former teammate Greg Jennings spoke about how the players had to be careful about what they said about Rodgers so as not to offend him.

Of course, Rodgers did not like 60 Minutes talking about how sensitive he was and publicly denounced the interview, thus proving them right about him being so sensitive.

R-E-L-A-X Aaron, don’t be such a sensitive diva!
