Every week after attempting to hyperlink Jimmy Kimmel to Jeffery Epstein’s list, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned to The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday to clear the air — however by no means stated sorry.
In his weekly paid spot, Rodgers ranted and raved about COVID and conspiracy theories earlier than issuing a non-apology for his remarks concerning the late-night host.
“I am glad that Jimmy is not on the list, I really am,“ Rodgers said. “I wish him the best. I don’t give a sh*t what he says about me, just as long as he understands what I said.”
The four-time MVP additionally stated that he doesn’t approve of individuals calling Kimmel a pedophile or another title on account of what he stated final week.
“I hope you will give the same energy to these heinous crimes when they do come out,” Rodgers stated, his remark directed at Kimmel. “That you gave to other subjects that I actually mentioned that you gave a lot of time that you were working on.”
QAaron appeared extra irked at the truth that ESPN’s PR chief Mike Foss characterized his Kimmel “joke” as being “dumb and factually incorrect.”
Rodgers stated the feud between himself and Kimmel dates again to “COVID times” when the signal-caller’s immunization standing was commonly the fodder for late-night TV exhibits.
Final evening throughout his monologue, Kimmel — who threatened to sue the ayahuasca fanatic — went scorched earth on “Karen” Rodgers.
“When you hear a guy who won a Super Bowl and did all the State Farm commercials say something like this. A lot of people believe – a lot of delusional people honestly believe – I am meeting up with Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey once a week to eat pizza and drink the blood of children.
“I know this because I hear from these people often my wife hears from them. My kids hear from my poor mailman years from these people. And now we’re hearing from lots more of them, thanks to Aaron Rodgers, who I guess believes one of two things. Either he actually believes my name was going to be on Epstein’s list, which is insane, or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that. He just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lies about being vaccinated.”
Any hope that McAfee would reign in his visitor this week went out the window.
McAfee opened his present Tuesday by saying that he and his crew are “just some guys” and their opinions don’t replicate the ideas or concepts of ESPN, which airs his present.
“To be honest, I know there’s a lot of people writing that I just let anybody say anything,” McAfee stated. “I just let a first-ballot Hall of Famer who’s the best football thrower in the history of football say whatever opinions they would like to have. I think that’s considered journalism. We’re learning more about one of the greatest athletes of all time, I think, than we ever have in the past. I know you suits are going to say a bit different.”
