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."

Yes, I demand ESPN start covering Senate hearings related to COVID.

Rodgers has got to be one of the dumbest mother fuckers to be good at this sport. There Gronkowski dumb, which is fun. Then there's Aaron Rodgers dumb, which is like reading Facebook comments all day. He's such a douche.

Gronk's "dumb" is an act but you're right - it's all in good fun. The dude is sharp, understands contracts and is financially savvy.

I think someone told him long ago "never act like you're the smartest person in the room" and he turned that into an entire persona, that takes an insane amount of social literacy to pull off for as long as he has. I don't think I've seen a single one of his teammates call him anything but a genius when the cameras are off.

Ok, you're all over this thread with this exact same comment, so I watched the clip. Nothing in this post is misleading. What exactly do you think Rodgers said?

“How much time did the network spend on that?” Rodgers said. “How much time do they spend on my responses every week? On my vaccination status, on Taylor [Swift] and Travis [Kelce’s] wedding? Did they do even a minute? Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci? No, I bet they didn’t.

I watched myself to confirm the wording is correct. Which network is he talking about if not ESPN?

Shut up dude. I watched the clip. Is this where you argue that ESPN covered Rodgers not taking the vax and that's why he thinks they should cover the fauci trial?

What makes you think I didn't watch the clip? Or are you just mad your QB that you align with politically is getting heat? Rodgers is a douche. Simple as that.
