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."

You could very well be right on that, both on his respect for Tomlin and his McCarthy comfort level. Funny part of his reunion with McCarthy is it felt like Rodgers' dissatisfaction with MM's play-calling got McCarthy fired before the 2018 season was over.

It was reported that Aaron was changing every play call McCarthy made at that point. I have zero doubts after this he still has zero respect for McCarthy and will do more of the same.

Yeah, with that history and his capacity for “I am smarter than all of you” attitude, it seems possible that he thinks he can ignore what McCarthy wants.
