Aaron Rodgers’s Psychedelic Drug Admission Will Put NFL Broadcasters in a Tough Spot

1. Let me be clear right out of the gate here: I don’t care whether Aaron Rodgers does legal drugs, illegal drugs or anything in between. It has no bearing on my life.

Having said that, I found Rodgers’s admission on a podcast this week that ayahuasca has changed his life on and off the field fascinating for one reason: How will this play out on NFL telecasts this season?

According to the Packers quarterback, psychedelic drugs paved the way for him to have the “best season of my career.” He also said he didn’t think it was a coincidence that he won back-to-back MVP awards after experimenting with the psychoactive brew.
