GREEN BAY, Wis. -- From an existential question about the meaning of time, proposed by him, to the harsh realities of the NFL, to his feelings about Aaron Rodgers -- and with a political comment thrown in as well -- Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett had plenty to say in advance of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

None of it will likely impact anything that happens at Lambeau Field, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

The world according to Bennett, in an eight-minute conference call with the Packers’ media contingent, included all of those subjects and more.

We’ll start with Rodgers. This offseason, Bennett mentioned the Packers quarterback as someone in the NFL who could be more outspoken to promote social change, to which Rodgers said the NFL culture discourages such action. That subject was brought up again on Wednesday.

“I don't know Aaron personally, I just know him from just being on the field and talking to him,” Bennett said Wednesday. “I can't expect him to be in my situation because, you know, I'm a black man living in America. It's a lot different from where he's coming from, and I can't really expect him to do or understand what goes on in the community, how we're affected, how things are changing, how things are valued differently. So the only thing I can do to him is just have a man-to-man conversation, ask him what he thinks.”

And there was Bennett’s take on former teammate Christine Michael, the running back who was released by the Seahawks and claimed off waivers by the Packers. Bennett called him “a great back.”

“Sometimes organizations, you know the game, man, there’s no loyalty to the player,” Bennett said. “It’s all to the fans and to the organization. A player can only do as much as he can possibly do. And when the organization decides to make a change, they make a change. They don’t talk to the player about it or talk about what they think he could do different, they just make the change. And I think they just made a change for him.”

When asked if the move surprised him, Bennett said: “Ever since Donald Trump became President, nothing is a surprise to me no more.”

But before Bennett would even answer the first question of the day, which was about how the Seahawks will replace safety Earl Thomas (who was lost for the season because of a broken leg), he wanted the answer to a question of his own:

“Is time real?” Bennett asked.

Come again?

After a pause, Bennett was offered this: “It’s made up, just like everything else in this world.”

Bennett liked the response.

“I’m sending you a glass of mine, man, a bottle of wine,” Bennett said. “You’re the only person who answered the question right today.”
