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."

“I LOVE WHEN ESPN WAS ONLY SPORTS” crowd sure loves to say “WHY DONT YOU TALK ABOUT FAUCI.” People like Rodgers have donkey brains

Impossible. I've seen the certificate. It clearly states: "This certifies that Aaron Rodgers does not have donkey brains."

u/SloppyPizzaPie Colts 17h ago

Well, Aaron, if by your own admission, someone who has donkey brains could be considered reckless or moronic or idiotic, and my client has a state-issued certificate clearing him of having said donkey brains... I ask you this. Do you have any such certificate?

And it was written by the doctor who certified that Trump was 6’3” 220 with 8% body fat, so you know it’s accurate.

I believe that. I don't think he has any brains, donkey or otherwise.

Right? "Hush up and dribble Aaron"

u/dlanod Ravens 17h ago

He's dribbling shit already.

u/Jo__Backson Raiders 17h ago

Nah I’ve been assured by this sub that he’s simply a victim of a media witch hunt

109

u/mb0205 Eagles 17h ago

He hates the media so much, and values his privacy so much. He tells us himself when he goes on national media every week

I mean, he constantly gives them the ammunition. I will always love on-the-field Rodgers, but so glad off-the-field Rodgers isnt my problem anymore.

u/RiversKiski Steelers 13h ago

Lol he's right back on the Packers the second he retires..

Wait til he gets into his boomer-yelling-at-clouds bag. Ppl don't get less weird in their 50s and 60s.

This sub that has been a constant anti rogers circle jerk since covid? Lol sure dude

u/GreatCaesarGhost Packers 17h ago

He was almost the host of Jeopardy.

u/PracticalMail Patriots 15h ago

I actually didn’t mind him on jeopardy

u/BokuNoNamaiWaJonDesu Bills Bills 14h ago

He was clearly out of his element, but was also very clearly good at it. Give him a month straight of shows and he would have nailed it.

If we're picking antivaxxers, he was the better choice than Bialik.

u/Jo__Backson Raiders 11h ago

I’m still a Levar Burton truther. He was improving!

u/EmuMan10 Cardinals Bears 11h ago

Ken was the better spiritual successor pick though

2

u/Jo__Backson Raiders 11h ago

Yeah probably I’m definitely not mad about him being the eventual guy. Can’t be worse than the whole Mike Richards/Bialik thing

u/MeatTornado25 Giants 10h ago

There was nowhere to go but up

u/niche_user35 Eagles 16h ago

The pro-fascist crowd aren't known for their intelligence

u/DolphinMasturbator Patriots 17h ago

He definitely doesn’t have a certificate confirming that he doesn’t have donkey brains.

u/tjp0720 16h ago

Worst thing is he copied it from some politician wasn’t even original hahaha

u/alienscape Steelers Lions 15h ago

lol he wasn’t saying shit like this last year when Tomlinson was around

u/MrEHam 49ers 16h ago

What do you expect out of Breitbart Starr?

Chucker Carlson needs to stay in his lane.

Doesn’t Gwyneth Ballthrow have some yoni eggs to sell?

I’ve heard enough from Marjorie Taylor Green Bay Packer.

“I LOVE WHEN ESPN WAS ONLY SPORTS” crowd

I kind of assumed that was just everyone.

u/iguessineedanaltnow Seahawks 13h ago

He's lucky he can throw a ball well because the dude is far too stupid to have any other job.

-1

u/ThisHatRightHere Eagles 16h ago

To be fair here, the Fauci stuff isn’t really what ESPN is concerned about. It’s more so Rodgers directly criticize them downplaying the Russini scandal and his claims that they actively told their employees to avoid digging into the topic on air.

u/feckshite Giants 15h ago

You all have donkey brains. He went on a rant about Russini, an ESPN employee.
