Mina Kimes called out Aaron Rodgers following the quarterback’s scorching criticism of ESPN during his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” earlier this week.

Aaron Rodgers has made a habit of clashing with NFL media and reporters over the last three years. From telling ESPN’s Adam Schefter to “lose my number” to saying that NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport “doesn’t know s**t about” him, it’s safe to say that Rodgers won’t be meeting ESPN media for some drinks any time soon.

During his appearance on McAfee’s show this week, Rodgers criticized the current ESPN product and accused talents of trying “to stay relevant” with their analysis:

“There’s a lot of people talking about the game now. Both non-former players and former players who are trying to stay relevant fame wise. So the takes and the criticism are a lot different than they were maybe in the mid-2000s.
I’m talking about these experts on TV who nobody remembers what they did in their career. So in order for them to stay relevant, they have to make comments that keep them in the conversation. That wasn’t going on in 2008, 2009. The SportsCenter of my youth, those guys made highlights so much fun.
And that’s what they showed on SportsCenter. Now it’s all talk shows and people whose opinions are so important now and they believe they’re the celebrities now, they’re the stars for just being able to talk about sports or give a take about sports, many of which are unfounded or asinine, as we all know. But that’s the environment we’re in now.”

Mina Kimes addressed Aaron Rodgers’ comments during Thursday’s edition of ESPN’s “First Take” program. Kimes noted that Rodgers ironically made the comments on the very show (McAfee’s) that’s part of ESPN programming.

“He’s espousing that opinion on a personality-driven program that employs him as a personality during the NFL season…I think there’s some subtext that he is saying some of the criticism, perhaps, of his play this year might have been unfounded…
He is well within his rights to note that. But a lot of the criticism this year is substantiated because of his play…there is a lot of validity to this message, but it does seem like the wrong messenger at this moment.”

Aaron Rodgers has made headlines over the past two years by publicly sharing COVID-19 misinformation and other conspiracy theories. Rodgers is a close friend of well-known anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who actually wanted the four-time MVP to be his running mate in his presidential bid.

Rodgers made baseless claims such as Jimmy Kimmel being on Jeffrey Epstein’s client list (there is zero evidence of this), which led to the popular late night TV talk show host threatening legal action.

So no, don’t expect Rodgers to end his habit of starting public feuds with the media and other high-profile celebrities. Rodgers has no filter and seems to get a kick out of stirring the pot, even when it’s unnecessary.

Aaron Rodgers & Jets May Split Up In 2025

It has been reported that Jets owner Woody Johnson endorsed the idea of benching Rodgers amid a miserable 2024 season. Other reports indicate that Rodgers doesn’t want to return to the Jets in 2025, though he has publicly stated he’d like to continue playing here.

Aaron Rodgers Unleashes His Own Insane Theory About The Mystery Drones In New Jersey That Have Everyone In America Spooked

Aaron Rodgers is known for his impressive football skills, but in the last few years, he has also explored some insane conspiracy theories.

There has been so much going on in the United States that not many people have been paying attention to what is happening in New Jersey.

Residents of more than a dozen counties across New Jersey have reported seeing large, low-flying objects hovering in sky in recent weeks and no one has a clue who is in control of them. It has gotten so bad that the FBI is investigating.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers lives in New Jersey and has noticed the drones.

He brought it up during his latest appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“Do you know what’s been going on in Jersey lately? And I’m not talking about the football, not talking about the football,” Rodgers stated as he made it clear he is not talking about the Jets’ terrible 2024 season.

“There’s been some crazy things going on. There are some drones in the sky,” Aaron Rodgers said during a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has since stated that the drones circling the skies above his state are “very sophisticated,” noting that “the minute you get your eyes on them, they go dark.”

He promised that the devices are not a threat to public safety, even though no one knows what they are doing in the area.

Murphy added that the drones are very high-tech, which makes it hard for authorities to track them and determine their origin.

On the Pat McAfee show, a video of a drone in Bedminster, New Jersey, prompted Aaron Rodgers to ask, “What the hell is that?”

He noted that the drone in the video is “large” and that he doesn’t know what is happening with the drones.

“There is other videos that I’ve seen, and I’ve talked to some friends of mine that are police officers — shoutout Mario. There’s some interesting things going on. Interesting things with the drones. I don’t know what’s going on with them. Maybe it’s just some kids messing around, maybe not though,” Rodgers said.

Aaron Rodgers didn’t rule out aliens.

“I’m thinking about having a Friday night 5-E experience,” Rodgers said. If you don’t know what that is, don’t worry, he explained.

“It’s where you have a big kind of meditation circle and then you call in the aliens and you use little green lasers to bring them in,” Rodgers said. “So thinking Friday night, if it’s a nice night, clear night, having a little 5-E experience to bring ’em in.”

The Jets quarterback just wants answers about what the drones are being used for.

“They need to tell us what’s going on. It’s military or not military, UAP, or whatever the hell it is. But there’s people in Jersey, it’s people interested on what the hell is going on with these drones.”
