Former New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has taken his exhausting act to Pittsburgh as the starting QB of the Steelers in 2025, and Jets fans should be ever so thankful he’s gone.
Rodgers, who dragged out his decision about where he will play in 2025 like the attention-starved person he is, tried flipping the script on a recent appearance of the Pat McAfee show, where he suggested the attention he gets from the media — both for his personal life and professional life — is embarrassing.
Here’s what the former NFL MVP had to say:
“The entitlement to information about my private life is so f—— ridiculous and embarrassing,” Rodgers said. “Like, hey, do what you’ve got to do, but try and leave me out of a conversation, sports world, for a month. Try and just leave me out, my personal life, my professional life, try not to talk about me… for the next six weeks, five weeks, whatever it is. Just see if you can do that.”

Laughable, right?
Rodgers’ Jets career was over before it ever really got started. He tore his Achilles in the first quarter of his first game with Gang Green, and while he did end last season with 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns, most of his stats were accumulated during meaningless garbage time.
Aaron Rodgers looked like a quarterback who was losing his battle against Father Time last year. Now, it’s his off-field act that’s aging poorly, too.
Pittsburgh, this is your problem now.
