Rodgers will be headed to a darkness retreat later this week by his own admission. Fans have taken different stands about his style of spending the post-season.

Pat McAfee and his co-hosts are some of the select few who have access to Rodgers’ thoughts. But during the QB’s weekly slot on the show, the hosts set aside all hard-hitting questions to focus on Rodgers’ bowel movements. As strange as it sounds, McAfee’s co-host and former NFL LB, A J Hawk had some housekeeping inquiries that morphed into a back-and-forth between them. The topic segued into how A-Rod would find the bathroom, relieve himself and take a bath.

With regard to adapting to the darkness, Rodgers said, “Before you turn the lights off, you get a good mental image of the room and make sure you know where the p***er is and where the bathtub is, and where the food comes in.” Pat McAfee then interjected their conversation to bluntly ask, “What about poop? Are you taking a bath after every poop?” Thankfully, the QB didn’t delve too much into his bathroom activities, choosing to remark on the weirdness of using the tub immediately after relieving one’s self. Football fans who tuned into the show may not have expected to get to know Rodgers on such a personal level. Here’s what they had to say.
