ESPN has reportedly made a decision on Aaron Rodgers’ future amid his bitter public feud with popular talk shot host Jimmy Kimmel.
During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, Rodgers indicated that Kimmel is on the client list of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. There is no evidence linking Kimmel to the client list.
Following Rodgers’ comments, Kimmel took to X/Twitter and called out Rodgers, even threatening to take him to court (WARNING: Tweet Below Contains Language That Is NSFW):
According to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, the situation is “squarely in Kimmel’s court.” Mike Foss, the ESPN senior VP of digital and studio production, indicated that Rodgers’ appearances on McAfee’s program will continue:
“Pat announced today that he’s planning on Aaron joining the show Tuesday. Aaron made a dumb and factually inaccurate joke about Jimmy Kimmel,” Foss said. “The show will continue to evolve. It wouldn’t surprise me if Aaron’s role evolves with it.”
Rodgers makes weekly appearances on McAfee’s popular program that was picked up by the Worldwide Leader in Sports last year after the former NFL punter got out of his show deal with FanDuel.
The 40-year-old Rodgers has made promoted several conspiracy theories and COVID-19 misinformation in his appearances on McAfee’s show. As such, many wondered if ESPN would have Rodgers removed from the show, but that obviously won’t be the case.
Rodgers was acquired by the Jets in a trade with the Packers ahead of last year’s NFL Draft. The four-time league MVP suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1 that abruptly ended his season.
