The New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not backing down from his feud with the ABC late-night show Jimmy Kimmel despite the massive backlash. Following Kimmel’s clapback on Monday, Rodgers used his ESPN airtime to address the issue.

During Tuesday’s episode of ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers addressed Kimme’s verbal attack. In the episode, Rodgers took a cheeky jab at the Arizona State University while addressing Kimmel’s joke about the Jets quarterback’s education.

I think it’s impressive that a man who went to Arizona State and has 10 joke writers can read off the prompter. My education and JUCO and my three semesters at Cal, which I’m very proud of, has worked out for me and I’m glad to see it’s worked out for him as well.

This joke came as a rebuttal to Kimmel diminishing Rodgers’ educational qualifications. In his monologue on Monday, Kimmel questioned Rodgers’ educational qualities. The ABC host questioned how Rodgers — who didn’t even graduate — could think himself of as an expert in medical issues.

A guy who went to community college, then got into Cal on a football scholarship, and didn’t graduate. Someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is an expert in the field of immunology. Aaron got two A’s on his report card and they were both in the word ‘Aaron.’

And now, Rodgers has hit back at Kimmel while taking a shot at ASU. As time passes, Rodgers and Kimmel continue to grow their feud, which started nearly two years ago.

Aaron Rodgers goes on a brutal 7 minute rant against Jimmy Kimmel

During his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Aaron Rodgers addressed the ongoing controversy, which started with the Jets quarterback insinuating Jimmy Kimmel might be on the controversial Jeffrey Epstein‘s list.

In his 7-minute rant, Rodgers completely denied accusing Kimmel of being a pedophile. Furthermore, he even refused to apologize to Kimmel for the joke.

Rodgers also blasted senior ESPN executive Mike Foss for apologizing to Kimmel on behalf of the network. The 40-year-old quarterback claimed the ‘woke establishment’ and media are trying to spin a narrative to portray Rodgers as a bad guy.

Rodgers’ rant received mixed reactions from fans. Some people wanted Rodgers to not involve himself in any controversies and just focus on football while others commended the veteran quarterback for speaking his mind despite backlash from mainstream media.
