When the veteran quarterback accidentally dropped a box on the sidelines, a bong-like bottle came flying out of it. This caused a buzz on social media, calling it a glass bong. Aaron Rodgers clarified that the glass bong was actually an uber-fancy bottle of tequila he had been gifted.
A-Rod saluted “bongs everywhere” as he dismissed the speculation. He then clarified that the dropped object wasn’t a bong but a Maestro Dobel Tequila bottle from John Sutcliffe. He even joked about the ‘weak bong conspiracy’ that could use a bit of zing.
“So, I turn over and there’s Hugh, my buddy. I see Hugh, give him a hug, dap him up, and go to pick it back up,” Rodgers said. “Sh*t (Tequila) falls out. I lose half my tequila. Shoutout to Bongs everywhere but that was not one of them.”

Moreover, Pat McAfee also bantered, shouting out to Aaron Rodgers for making people think that he was carrying a bong to an NFL game. However, the Jets’ QB added a touch of humor by suggesting outlandish alternatives such as Dolphin Semen or New York Giants’ tears. Rodgers said, “A little weak on conspiracies. I feel like it should have been something more like Dolphin Semen, or maybe Giants’ tears.”

“ya ya, that’s EXACTLY what someone who dropped a Bong would say…” said another NFL fan.
While some fans don’t buy into the tequila story, it has undoubtedly left them amused. The sidelined QB is making strides in recovery and showing his support for the Green Gang in his own unique way. Despite the Jets‘ current 4-4 record, they still might secure a playoff berth even without Rodgers, who is expected to be fully recovered by then. Only time will tell.
