Yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel posted a reply on X to Aaron Rodgers, and things got even uglier, especially for Rodgers. Before this, Kimmel clapped back at Rodgers and called him out on his stance about UFO sightings and refraining from getting vaccinated. Rodgers was called a “Whack Packer” on live TV, and he is here to address the back and forth.

He recently went on his weekly spot at the Pat McAfee show and re-opened the books on the show in response to Kimmel’s latest comments. Aaron Rodgers said that Kimmel gave a spot to Anthony Fauci and called him a “spreader of misinformation.” Rodgers’ explanation for the “popping the bottle” statement was that he was excited about the corruption being exposed. He spoke his mind on the show, returning the favor to Jimmy Kimmel.

The conversation started with how people like Ryan Fitzpatrick and Nick Wright took shots at him. The QB explained that this beef between Kimmel and himself started during COVID-19. Aaron Rodgers said that it was Kimmel who made a joke about his immunization, completely disregarded his research on vaccination, and also made fun of him on his show.

The four-time MVP also highlighted what Kimmel said about unvaccinated people. Per Rodgers, Kimmel had a strong opinion about the unvaccinated, so much so that he divulged this idea of not letting the unvaccinated people get any treatment or even beds in hospitals. Aaron Rodgers called Anthony Fauci a “spreader of misinformation” and highlighted how the late-night host gave him a spot on his show.

Aaron Rodgers added to it by saying that in the end, he turned out to be right about the vaccination because some people had an adverse effect due to the medication and said that Kimmel’s slander turned out to be an “L.”

“So, in my opinion, you went after me; that’s fine; you’re a comedian; got for it; not offended, but that was an L,” mentioned Aaron Rodgers, bolstering himself. Things have gotten uglier between the two, and we can’t say whether they will ever come to terms with each other or not. Especially after Jimmy Kimmel threatened to take Rodgers to court.

The QB mentioned that the list is not even out and mentioned that he knew the person on the list because of a 2015 deposition against him. He explained that by “popping the bottles,” he didn’t take shots at Kimmel, and he was in high spirits because of the corruption that was on the brink of getting exposed.

Aaron Rodgers addressed Kimmel’s comments when the host called him “overly concussed whacko.” He acknowledged the fact that accusing someone of pedophilia is not a joke, but per him, Kimmel misunderstood the whole thing. Per Rodgers, Kimmel misconstrued his comment when he said, “A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out.”

Hopefully, the drama resolves soon. Kimmel’s name is not on the list, as he clarified earlier.

Basketball has stuck with me ever since I was a kid. I remember watching Kobe Bryant sometime in 2008 and being blown away. Like every kid my age, I was utterly taken aback by his moves and abilities as an athlete.
