A-Rod is healing nicely after suffering an ACL tear earlier in the season. Now as he watched the latest Jets game, there was something similar to a bong that trickled down from his pocket. Was Rodgers high? Does A-Rod take the bong everywhere he goes? Now the 4X MVP cleared the speculations regarding the mysterious thing.

While Rodgers did entail that people are dropping bongs everywhere, his wasn’t a bong-shaped glass bottle. It was actually a Maestro Dobel Tequila bottle gifted to him that he dropped on the pitch. Pat McAfee was involved in a banter with the player remarking it could’ve been “dolphin semen” or “maybe Giants’ tears”.
