Jimmy hit back, threatening to sue the football player in response, which Aaron then responded to.
Shortly after the incident, Pat McAfee apologized to Jimmy on-air saying, “We apologize for being a part of it.”

“Aaron Rodgers is a Hall of Famer. He’s a four-time MVP. He’s a massive piece of the NFL story whenever you go back and tell it. He will be a huge part of it,” he said, via The Wrap.
“We are very lucky to get a chance to chat with him and learn from him. Some of his thoughts and opinions do piss off a lot of people. I’m pumped that that is no longer every single Wednesday of my life, which it has been for the last few weeks,” he continued.
“On Friday I obviously threw us into the fire as well. I forever stand by that. Everything else, though, just can’t do that and not what we want to be known for.”
He also noted that he is personally looking forward to things calming down saying, “The way it ended, it got real loud, real loud….I’m happy that is not going to be my mentions going forward, which is great news.”
