Rodgers’ appearance on The McAfee Show was embarrassing, and the Jets’ star team has talked about one of ABC and Disney’s biggest stars possibly appearing on Love Poultan’s story. But, uh, that’s what happened after McAfee’s co-host, AJ Hawk, released the list to Rodgers on Tuesday.
For those who don’t know, this is a list of the names of over 200 business associates who worked with Jeffrey Epstein. Apparently, this list contains the names of some of the most famous people, celebrities and politicians that we know.
To be clear, being on the list does not mean that a person has been convicted of sex trafficking or engaged in any of the crimes Epstein is alleged to have been involved in. That’s why this list is so important. So, Rodgers – seemingly reluctantly – pointed the finger directly at ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.
Dear Aasshole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any “list” other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless… https://t.co/p8eug12uiS

“A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, wish this didn’t happen,”
the Jets quarterback said on the show Tuesday.
This was the last time we saw Aaron Rodgers on The Pat McPhee Show. There is nothing wrong with Rogers going on the show and making baseless claims and rumors about the COVID-19 vaccine, as if a 13-year-old had just seen the curse words and lies or for the scars on our faces.
Recovery is the same. Jimmy Kimmel Live! It’s one of Disney’s biggest shows on ABC, one of the company’s flagship networks.
For Rodgers, creating a situation where Disney CEO Bob Iger had to step in to mediate and mend the relationship wasn’t nice, clear and simple. This hinders businesses. Aaron Rodgers is a public nuisance. The same goes for this situation here.
This comes from when Kimmel mocked Aaron Rodgers a year ago for being fair. Still no official response from Disney on all of this. Assuming the Pat McAfee Show is anything like that, I feel bad for the company.
The partnership with McAfee is all about dealing with issues like this, giving it the longest commitment the company has ever had. Pat McAfee isn’t going anywhere. This may be Rodgers’ last chance to put his foot in his mouth, at least on an ESPN broadcast.
ESPN, which began airing McAfee’s show, declined to comment to Forbes on the nature of the payments, though the Post reported that McAfee, not the network, paid the Rodgers and Saban.
"Every week when you see Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee Show, it is like you are watching Newsmax."

In 2021, Rodgers confirmed for the first time on The Pat McAfee Show that he had not received the COVID-19 vaccine, and also said that he was taking ivermectin to treat his illness, but this drug is not approved for the treatment of COVID-19 and has been approved by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was considered potentially dangerous by the Centers for Prevention.
Rodgers, 39, a four-time NFL MVP, will likely miss the 2023 NFL season because of an Achilles injury he suffered in his first season with the Jets in September.
Rodgers announced on The Pat McAfee Show in March that he intended to play for the Jets in 2023, ending widespread speculation about his future after 18 years with the Green Bay Packers.
The Washington Post reports how much ESPN will pay former NFL player McAfee for five years to bring his show to the network.
The network announced that in one week, The Pat McAfee Show garnered 242 million views across ESPN, ESPN+, YouTube and other platforms in its first four weeks under the ESPN umbrella.

Hey Jimmy —
Why did you have Tom Hanks do a skit on your show sexualizing little girls where he called a child a “sexy baby” and you had her sing “Talk Dirty To Me”. Do you think it’s cool or funny to sexualize children?
Also, why did you run another skit on your show… pic.twitter.com/yhAnc7ysYu

“Your reckless words put my family in danger”… Lol you use your show to demonize half of the country \ people you don’t agree with.
Now someone does it to you and you play the victim.
Take this as a learning lesson, reflect.

You spent YEARS peddling libelous accusations against @AaronRodgers12 like the one below. I hope he returns the favor and sues the shit out of you for defamation. pic.twitter.com/EXYLoaq6wq

Jimmy Kimmel seems awfully defensive.
Looks like Aaron Rodgers was more over the target than we may have realized.
And for the record, Kimmel isn’t the victim here — the young boys and girls he and his friends allegedly molested are.
Legal justice is coming Kimmel.

Remember when Kimmel did this to an innocent young woman?

I love the @PatMcAfeeShow show but don’t like @AaronRodgers12. Can we agree that we can parse these things and not have to go all in on one or the other ?

Jemele hill is one of the most racist people I've ever heard. She's a horrible person all around.

But when espn pushes the liberal agenda it’s fine right? At least Rodgers is speaking facts
— NY Sports Talk Uncensored (@sportstalkfun) January 10, 2024
These people lied to us about the dangers of a seasonal cold, about vaccine and mask efficacy against it, and even about how it originated – and have the nerve to say Rodgers is a conspiracy theorist spreading misinformation 😂
