Rodgers

Ladies and gentlemen, it appears Aaron Rodgers, who’s taken a grand total of four snaps as quarterback of the New York Jets, has lost his mind.  This week, during his weekly appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show (or if a WWE wrestler on bath salts hosted a sports program), he sorta accused Jimmy Kimmel of associating with Jeffrey Epstein — exacting revenge against Kimmel for ragging on Rodgers and his public Covid vaccine skepticism in his late-night monologues. This latest outbursts follows a string of recent…

The way it ended, it got real loud.”Copyright ©2024Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.…

ESPN’s Pat McAfee announced Wednesday that Aaron Rodgers would not appear on his daily sports talk show for the remainder of this NFL season following the quarterback’s controversial comments regarding Jimmy Kimmel. A day after the New York Jets QB appeared on The Pat McAfee Show in an attempt to perhaps sidestep a lawsuit, McAfee told his audience, “So ‘Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays’ Season Four is done. There are gonna be a lot of people happy with that, myself included. The way it ended, it got real loud. I’m happy…

The battle for accountability in a culture of impunity — one in which reality increasingly plays second fiddle to conspiracy theories and disinformation — heated up Tuesday when a football star doubled down on his baseless claims about a late-night host and a federal appeals court judge scrutinized a former president’s claim of immunity from prosecution for his role in a violent insurrection.It’s not a stretch to mention in the same breath New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has asserted without evidence that…

Aaron Rodgers insisted he was definitely not trying to link Jimmy Kimmel to Jeffrey Epstein when he seemed to link Jimmy Kimmel to Jeffrey Epstein during an interview on the The Pat McAfee Show last week.  After a week of not-so-vague lawsuit threats, apologies, and scathing late-night monologues, the quarterback returned to the scene of the original crime (McAfee’s show) to try to set the record straight. For quick background, during a previous appearance before the then-impending Epstein document dump, Rodgers…

In his first late-night monologue of 2024, Jimmy Kimmel went all in on NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a week after their public feud began. Earlier this month, the New York Jets quarterback suggested during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” that the long-time late-night personality might appear on Jeffrey Epstein’s damning associates list — and that he’d celebrate if that was the case. A week and one Epstein list release later, that wasn’t the case. “Of course my name wasn’t on it, and isn’t on it and won’t ever be…

Jimmy Kimmel, in a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, devoted his opening monologue to address claims made by Aaron Rodgers about Kimmel’s alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Launching the show, Kimmel acknowledged the tumultuous start to 2024, especially for himself. He recounted Rodgers’ assertions, aired on the Pat McAfee Show, preceding the release of a rumored high-profile list associated with Epstein, where Kimmel’s name was conspicuously absent. Addressing the situation, Kimmel clarified,…

Jimmy Kimmel returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live! for his first show of the year and delivered a scathing monologue following Aaron Rodgers’ baseless suggestion that the comedian was linked to Jeffrey Epstein. On Monday, the comedian roasted the quarterback for seven minutes, describing him as a “hamster brain man” who “thinks he knows what the government is up to because he’s a quarterback doing research on YouTube and listening to podcasts.” Last week, Rodgers said on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show that he would pop…
