Aaron Rodgers is feeling the heat after making speculative comments about late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel. After hearing the comments made by Rodgers during the Pat McAfee show, Kimmel did not hold back his punches while expressing his emotions to Rodgers. While Rodgers recently tried to settle things with a small gesture, Kimmel has now taken Charles Barkley‘s comments to continue his wrath on the New York Jets QB.

Charles Barkley recently revealed that he would have punched Aaron Rodgers in the face if he were at the receiving end of such comments from Rodgers instead of Jimmy Kimmel.

Kimmel showed this clip during the monologue of the show and said, “That’s clear, thank you. Thank you, Sir Charles. For your rhetorical, metaphorical, and oratorical support.” Kimmel expresses his gratitude towards Barkley for his support, as he showed that anyone in his place would have done the same.

The Philadelphia 76ers legend, known for his openness, was yet again blunt with his reaction. But can we blame him? To speculate that someone was part of such heinous crimes is extremely destructive and damaging to their careers. Moreover, it is just evil.

Kimmel has expressed his anger towards Rodgers and has even threatened to sue Rodgers for putting his family in danger with such comments. As the seals are off, it is now known that Jimmy Kimmel is not on the list.

After implying that Jimmy Kimmel would not want the Jeffrey Epstein list to be released, Rodgers has been on full blast during Kimmel’s show. Kimmel said Rodgers has the Dunning-Kruger effect. It is a term for a person’s lack of knowledge and skill in a certain area, causing them to overestimate their own competence.

Kimmel clarified that he had never known or met Epstein in his life. After the response from Kimmel, Rodgers yet again commented on this and said, “I’m glad, and I think we can agree on something is that one: those crimes are heinous, and two: I’m glad you’re not on the list,” in favor of Jimmy Kimmel. But Kimmel is not ready to let go of things so easily.

I did not follow the traditional route to become a journalist, but my love for basketball and writing has brought me here. Seeing LeBron James? Cleveland Cavaliers make the iconic comeback from a 1-3 deficit in 2016 changed everything for a young engineering aspirant within me. Rather than simply looking at the game, I love to analyze how each player contributes to a team using BPM (Box Plus Minus) and other advanced metrics.
