Future NY Jets QB Aaron Rodgers further disdains media

“Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, they’re good at their jobs, but they don’t know [anything] about me.”

Since 2021, it has been abundantly clear that Aaron Rodgers despises the mainstream media.

His misleading statement that he was “immunized” for Covid-19 and the subsequent revelation that this did not, in fact, mean he had been vaccinated set in place the turf wars of NFL Reporters v. Rodgers.

The enmity is mutual. Reporters at Pro Football Talk, certain talk show hosts at ESPN, and some NFL Network alumni with popular YouTube platforms are the most virulent in their hatred, lambasting Rodgers’s character as if he were Deshaun Watson, Adrian Peterson, or even Aaron Hernandez.
