The Aaron Rodgers/Jimmy Kimmel Fight Continues

I appreciate Rodgers' being willing to talk about things outside of football. He's paid to do that on McAfee, and while not everyone is going to like what he has to say, what he says on McAfee vs. what he says inside the building/how he approaches his day job as the QB of the NYJ shouldn't be intermingled. As far as Kimmel vs. Rodgers, it's a shame that comprehension is lost among viewers and listeners in the year 2024

Rodgers never accused or alleged any wrongdoing of Kimmel, other than he would not be happy with the list coming out. There are several friends and colleagues of Kimmel who have been mentioned in the depositions (fact), and others who are rumored to be on said lists (statements without reasonable basis). That does not equal "Jimmy Kimmel is a pedo", nor does it equal "Jimmy Kimmel is on the list"... it merely is a statement that Rodgers believes that Jimmy doesn't want the list to come out (opinion). 

It's a nonstory, but media and Kimmel amplified it to be something that it isn't. Kimmel can try to sue, but the case would be dismissed. What this boils down to: Kimmel can dish it out, but he can't take it... he slanders and defames people for a living under the guise of satire, but the second someone says something about him? Meltdown. Classic 

 

Team Rodgers 2024, both on and off the field 

Lol ok "FOOTBALL GUY".  Thank God you are here to teach all of us the art of nuance.  Can you kindly reconcile the part where Rodgers preaches "no more bullsh*t" and then promptly opens up an enormous shipping crate full of bullsh*t?

Give me a break.

Clearly you too struggle with comprehension and context. What did he possibly mean by saying "No more bullsh*t" in the context of the question he was asked about the Jets? Anyone who has paid attention knows what he means... there is too much leaking, too much bickering, too much finger-pointing, and too much complaining that goes on inside of the football operation. In Rodgers opinion, none of that equates to winning on the football field.

How does what Rodgers say about Jimmy Kimmel have anything to do with the Jets? It doesn't.

and it all stems from Kimmel joking about Rodgers wanting the list to come out. Rodgers saying he didn't want it to come out didn't come from no where.

but you'll never win this with the perpetually outraged crew. god speed.

Aaron Rodgers doubles down on debunked conspiracies, does not apologize to Jimmy Kimmel

By Lisa Respers France and Liam Reilly, CNN
 4 minute read 
Updated 2:39 PM EST, Tue January 9, 2024
 

Aaron Rodgers, appearing on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” for the first time since he suggested late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s name might be among those listed in documents that identify Jeffrey Epstein’s associates, doubled down on debunked conspiracy theories Tuesday, declining to apologize to Kimmel for his remarks.

“I said, that a lot of people, and I’m quoting myself here, ‘a lot of people — including Jimmy Kimmel — are really hoping that [list] doesn’t come out,’ end quotes, that’s what I said,” Rodgers told McAfee. “I was referring to the fact that if there is a list — which again, this hasn’t come out yet, this was just a deposition — and there are names on it, then that would be the second time that a soft brain, junior college student, you know, wacko anti-vax, anti-Semite, purveyor, spreading misinformation, conspiracy theorists, MAGA — whatever other things have been said by him and other people in the media — would be right twice.”

McAfee appeared to side with Rodgers, calling Kimmel’s seven-minute monologue Monday night about Rodgers’ insinuation a “diatribe.”

Rodgers on Tuesday acknowledged, “how serious an allegation of pedophilia would be.”

“So, for him to be upset about that, I get it,” Rodgers said. “I’m not stupid enough … to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence, concrete evidence.”

Though Rodgers said he would like to put the issue “to bed, to move forward,” he suggested that the media was looking to “cancel” him.

“This is the gameplan of the media, this is what they do,” Rodgers told McAfee. “They try and cancel … it’s not just me.”

“I wish him the best. I don’t give a s— what he says about me,” Rodgers said of Kimmel. “As long as he understands what I actually said, that I’m not accusing him of being on a list and I’m all for moving forward.”

It was a baseless allegation, Kimmel said of Rodgers’ initial remarks, and he let it be known at the top of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday that as the Epstein list has come out, “of course, my name isn’t on it and won’t ever be on it.”

“I don’t know Jeffrey Epstein, I’ve never met Jeffrey Epstein,” Kimmel said during his first live show of the new year. “I’m not on a list. I was not on a plane or an island or anything ever, and I suggested that if Aaron wanted to make false and very damaging statements like, that we should do it in court so he can share his proof with, like, a judge.”

Kimmel went on to point out there unfortunately are some who believe the things the injured New York Jets quarterback says, even as he questioned whether Rodgers himself actually believes them.

“Either he actually believes my name was going to be on Epstein’s list - which is insane - or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that and he just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lies about being vaccinated,” Kimmel said of the well-known vaccine skeptic.

Kimmel also shared a clip of himself making fun of Rodgers for having “floated this whacko idea” that news of recent UFO sightings aimed to distract from the Epstein list.

“The truth still matters,” Kimmel added later. “And when I do get something wrong, which happens on rare occasions, you know what I do? I apologize for it – which is what Aaron Rodgers should do, which is what a decent person would do. But I bet he won’t. If he does, you know what I’ll do? I’ll accept his apology and move on. But he probably won’t do that.”

Epstein, who died by suicide in jail in 2019, had been accused in a federal indictment of running a sex trafficking ring of underage girls, some as young as 14.

CNN has reached out to representatives for Kimmel and Rodgers for additional comment. McAfee has previously apologized for Rodgers’ claims on his show.

This story has been updated.

CNN’s Oliver Darcy contributed to this story.

Seriously, what is wrong with you? You sh*t all over Jet Potato's thread and then you put this crap up? What do you do all day? Sleep, then watch the view? Then go back to bed?

Sticking to facts is next to impossible these days but what you stated here is exactly that - a factual representation of what was said

problem is we as a society can no longer have a discussion without drawing lines and sides even when there is simply no warrant

i am not team rodgers, Kimmel or anyone else

i am team asteroid which unfortunately is the only solution

Lol I couldn't give 2 ****s about Jimmy Kimmel, or the substance of any pissing match that Rodgers has with any celebrity or politician, on either side of the political spectrum.  It's not about "oUtRaGe" or "cAnCeL CuLtUrE".   

The irrefutable point is that Rodgers is a hypocrite who creates the very distractions he claims to be against.

Your welcome. When people are able to take their feelings, opinions, and personal politics out of the equation, you're able to learn a thing or two. God bless reading, god bless nuance, and god bless America!

Arod better play at an all-pro level next season to be worth this BS.

Man he loves to hear himself talk.

We only have to endure 8 more months of this to find out of the 40 year old QB can turn back the clock a few years.  WATTBA!

Again- reading comprehension. Work on it. 

As I stated in my original post: happy to bet on Sam Darnold. If he leaves SF this offseason, happy to bet $$$ he will have 8 starts on his new team.

Rogers is not the problem not even with his side show.

Now another off season of drug induce psychedelics maybe a problem because he does look beat up for his age.

Why not?  Are you with him often enough and intimately enough in your "insider" role with the Jets to say that, or are you speculating?

Which is a direct implication of one of several things:

1. That Kimmel himself was on the list.

2. That people Kimmel associates with/publicly supports and not yet named were on the list.

3. That Kimmel is against pedo's being named and or prosecuted.

Any of these implications would normally elicit a pretty spirited reply.

Which implicitly expresses the view that Kimmel would prefer pedos go unnamed and unprosecuted, i.e. that Kimmel is at best a passive/tacist supporter of pedos. 

A very strong thing to imply on it's own.

ohhh, you've moved the goalposts now to boot to being too scared to bet on him.

He starts 8 games, I'll never post again. He doesn't.. you never post again. Don't shrink away again.

Your mistake is thinking the crazies heard, or cared to hear, anything other than Kimmel is a pedo.  Have you not seen what has happen to facts or details the last few years?

If you haven't noticed, I'm not a legacy poster on here. I come on in waves, usually when I'm bored or sick, so win or loss that bet means nothing to me. Money would be great though... why not bet money?

I can't believe there isn't somebody in Rodgers's camp that can't get him to understand this is one to really leave alone. 

As @T0mShane pointed out last week, Rodgers doesn’t have a “camp”.  He’s a sad, lonely, lonely man.  As are most of the lunatics who spout the kinda stuff he does.

Only in Jet land can people lash out at you because theyre too stupid to comprehend. Must be an FAQ that I missed that says "If you are stupid, and cant read, or just are,.. again,... stupid,. Blame -Football Guy-"
