Aaron Rodgers wants to put the beef between him and Jimmy Kimmel to rest, and it looks like both of these men might finally reach common ground. The altercation between the two is not just about football or comedy anymore. It has come far from taking shots at each other’s intelligence and making fun of each other’s beliefs. Rodgers just expects the same energy from Kimmel that he put in QBs slander when the list comes out.

The 4x MVP called Kimmel’s opinion an “L” and pinned it on the late-night host for not truly understanding what “popping the bottles” really meant. He came to the Pat McAfee show again, and it looks like he is not trying to drag it any further than needed.

The QB mentioned that he knows that Kimmel is not on the list after the host clarified himself on his talk show by saying, “I Don’t Know Jeffrey Epstein”. But there are two important things here that Aaron Rodgers highlighted.

“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,” said Aaron Rodgers in favor of Jimmy Kimmel, and he expressed his opinions of people who are on the list, saying that there should be an inquiry and a severe punishment for the defaulters.

Rodgers then pointed out what Mike Foss, quoted the Senior VP of Production at ESPN saying, “Aaron Rodgers made a dumb and factually incorrect joke about Jimmy Kimmel, it should never have happened, and we all realized that in the moment”. He mentioned how the VP at ESPN was not helping and the media is trying to spin the narrative to their advantage and that they are trying to “cancel” him.

The QB clarified that his stance of being unvaccinated to date stems from the fact that he wants nothing to do with anything that’s not “in the best interest of his body”. Per him, the decision to not take COVID-19 vax was his personal choice and came out of “informed consent”. The MVP said that he is not associated with MAGA and even if some are, it’s their decision.

He addressed getting called a “conspiracy theorist”, but for him, most of the things that he conspired about came true. And the tag of “anti-Semite” is the media’s way of trying to cancel him. He mentioned that the media is using terminologies like “conspiracy theorist”, “MAGA Supporter”, and “anti-vaxxer” to bring him down.

Per Rodgers, the people whose ideologies are not aligned with the mainstream ideologies are going to get taken down by the media and their immediate environment. Maybe the same is happening to him.
