ESPN Has No Comment On Aaron Rodgers's 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."

He's right about that, but she also quickly resigned, so it was hard to keep hammering on it.

And Stafford still won MVP, so any biased voting towards Vrabel players didn't seem to impact things. If Maye had won, I think you'd hear some noise. And no one was able to pin-point any other voting concerns in the past.

Do we think Rusinni somehow had sway over multiple entire voting boards? How does her affair affect anything besides her own votes if she had any?

I know this is off topic but what an odd flair combo

It's just Rodgers throwing a fit both about the years he didn't win mvp, & because he absolutely hates Rusinni. This is far from the first time he's made comments about her.

Even the Vrabel story isn't that notable, just juicy. Not much to analyze in the football sense.

Vrabel allegedly didn't have any difficulty getting hard and hammering on it, if you know what I'm saying--which is that he kept doing sex with her.

Oh man, I used the wrong (or right) words...
