Pat McAfee declared on Wednesday that conspiracy-peddling NFL star Aaron Rodgers is “done” as a guest on his show for the rest of the season. The ESPN host said he’s “pumped” he won’t have to deal with the weekly controversy that comes with the New York Jets star’s unhinged rants.
McAfee’s announcement comes a day after Rodgers’ latest weekly paid appearance on The Pat McAfee Show featured the four-time MVP refusing to apologize to Jimmy Kimmel for suggesting he was an associate of Jeffrey Epstein amid a bizarre 30-minute-long rant about COVID-19 vaccines and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Rodgers also repeatedly blasted ESPN executive Mike Foss for issuing an apology over the quarterback’s Kimmel remarks, telling Foss that “you are not helping” by calling Rodgers’ remarks a “dumb and factually inaccurate joke.” McAfee signed an $85 million deal with ESPN last year to air his daily sports talk show while Kimmel works for ABC, which is owned by ESPN’s parent company Disney.
