Sports analyst A. J. Hawk asked a question that was not related to football. Hawk wanted to know if A-Rod feared death. The back-to-back MVP winner recounted that when he was 16 years old, he thought the world would end because of Y2K. A-Rod feared he would never fall in love and have children or would never play in the NFL.

“Ayahuasca and psilocybin actually really helped me with that and alleviated a lot of the stress around the idea of needing to accomplish things before I actually die and has kinda taken away some of that fear,” Aaron Rodgers said. “I think when you’ve seen the other side, it makes the idea of death more of a passage and less of an ending.”

The Green Bay Packers are third in the NFC North, behind the Detroit Lions, with a record of 5-8.

Although the hallucinogen eradicated the fear of death from the QB, could it get rid of the fear of losing more games?

The 2022-2023 season has not been great for the Packers. Rodgers has 2,864 passing yards under his belt, 22 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Green Bay will face the Rams in Week 15 as they hope to advance to the playoffs.
