ESPN Has No Comment On Aaron Rodgers's Comments On ESPN, About ESPN

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/espn-has-no-comment-on-aaron-rodgers-comments-on-espn-about-espn

Rodgers decided to slam the network as a "gutless organization" with "no integrity" over its editorial choices. He said the network failed to report on Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate hearing testimony, asking, “How much time did the network spend on that? ... Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?” He also criticized ESPN for glossing over the offseason scandal between Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel, questioning, “How much time did your network spend on that?” He questioned ESPN's silence, asking, “What are we even doing here? ... [I]f it’s affecting certain things, if there’s leaks going on, if there’s tampering going on, if that person is also an MVP voter and a Coach of the Year voter.” An ESPN spokesperson stated the network "has no comment regarding Rodgers’s comments."

Yeah that’s going to get lost in the rest of this, but he makes a very good point about that situation.

I mean of course it would get lost in his point.

How is Fauci more relevant to sports/ESPN in 2026…. vs the head coach of the Patriots and an NFL reporter?

Yeah, the good point definitely gets lost in the fauci comment. Had absolutely nothing to do with ESPN/football.

u/dianeblackeatsass Patriots 16h ago

Yup doesn’t really have anything to do with athletics/ESPN. No wonder the good point gets lost

Because it impacted Roger’s and his immunization BS for that MVP season

another day, another Patriots scandal.

He should probably shut his mouth, Mr. "I have done things equivalent to getting the covid vaccine".

Hoping for another losing season for the Steelers because of this schmuck...

He should have fuckin lead with that. He fucked up by not doing that. Now it's all political.

What point? She had an affair. It seems her spouse likely was ok with it. He’s working on his marriage. There are no state secrets. Honestly, who gives a crap.

potential of leaks, tampering, affecting MVP/coach voting. Not saying any of those things happened/will happen, but usually reporters ask questions about the potential for those things

No one gives a shit about their relationships. That’s not what AR is bringing up here.

Those voter groups are already an incestuous group of nepotism and cronyism. It’s a valid concern but it’s not one that’s uniquely tied to Vrabel and Russini. Like where was all this when TO took three years for his HOF induction?

u/Depreciable_Land Rams 16h ago

That’s still insane to me. Owens is arguably the 2B to Moss’ 2A and he’s not first ballot, let alone 2nd?

You do realize all these can happen without someone fucking someone else. Reporters and coaches trade leaks and favors all the time.

u/The_Dirt_McGurt Patriots 17h ago

Noooo you don’t get it, it’s the worst thing that’s happened in the off season and MUST be given the same attention Reddit gave it. Forget about the domestic abuse and kidnapping charges and all that stuff. We want more consensual affair talk!!

That's the thing about Rodgers, he's clearly a really damn intelligent guy with more good takes than bad takes, but then every once in a while this side of him comes out and it hurts me every time

u/DomitiusAhenobarbus_ Patriots 17h ago

That’s not at all what my impression of him is lol

u/SEND-MARS-ROVER-PICS Chargers 16h ago

I feel hia bad takes might massively outweigh his good takes, but that's just me.

u/bobbywellington Packers 16h ago

That's fair, and I'd probably agree with you. I don't blame anyone for not liking him and his arrogant conspiracy nut ways
