Aaron Rodgers has stirred the pot once again by dropping a bombshell take on TV Host Jimmy Kimmel.

In the middle of the ongoing rift between the two, NFL analyst Nick Wright’s week old take on Aaron being “disingenuous” is going viral on the internet.

Recently, Nick Wright on his show “First Things First” went on to rant about Aaron Rodgers, accusing him of being dishonest in various aspects. Wright claims that starting from Rodgers’ stance on his vaccination to him making comeback statements after his recent injury, Jets’ star QB has only misled everyone. Wright stated,
“You were disingenuous about the vaccine, that was annoying. Not that status, the way you did it. You were disingenuous about your retirement status, 90 percent retired. You were disingenuous about coming out of the dark room. I’m going to play for the Packers, that was my only goal,”
In under a minute, Nick Wright swiftly listed instances where he felt Aaron Rodgers was disingenuous. Wright accused Rodgers of being insincere when he didn’t take the Covid-19 vaccine in 2021. He feels Rodgers wasn’t truthful about his retirement or intentions to play for the Green Bay Packers after the 2022 season.
Rodgers moved to the New York Jets in 2023, and as per Nick, he was dishonest if he wanted Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard, and Tim Boyle on his team and even questioned the presence of Nathaniel Hackett being Jets’ offensive coordinator. Last but not the least, Rodgers kept on claiming his early comeback with Jets after injuring his Achillies, but upon his activation from IR, he claimed it wasn’t his call. Wright’s perspective on Aaron Rodgers resonated positively with NFL fans, who appreciated his critical analysis.
One fan stated, “gotta be Nick’s best rant ever”. Another one claimed, “Legendary rant in modern sports media history”. A user wrote, “Nick somehow found a way to go wayyyyy over the top while simultaneously being 100% correct.” A different user mentioned, “He cooked Rodgers. A “Look at me Louie” is without a doubt what Rodgers is.”
Nick Wright’s statement shows that he feels frustrated with Rodgers wanting to be the center of attention rather than focusing on the core issues at hand. Hence, it makes perfect sense that fans promoted Nick’s rant once again when Aaron ignited a new controversy on The Pat McAfee Show by linking Jimmy Kimmel to the Jeffrey Epstein controversy.
Aaron Rodgers Sparks Controversy by Linking Jimmy Kimmel to Jeffrey Epstein
Aaron Rodgers, while appearing in the recent episode of the Pat McAfee Show, brought up the name of Jeffrey Epstein, and started talking about a list expected to reveal names of important people who might have been linked to Epstein. Moreover, Rodgers didn’t hesitate to associate comedian Jimmy Kimmel with Jeffrey Epstein in a clip that’s gaining widespread attention. Rodgers said,
“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel are really hoping that doesn’t come out. I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.”
In response to linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, Kimmel addressed Rodgers directly on Twitter to refute these claims. He strongly denied any connection, stating he hadn’t met or had any contact with Epstein. Kimmel accused Rodgers of making dangerous statements that could jeopardize his family’s safety. He warned Rodgers that if such accusations continued, they would discuss the matter in court to clarify the facts. It will be interesting to see how this controversy further unfolds.
