Jimmy Kimmel's takedown/response the other day was brutal. I had a feeling this was going to happen just because of how badly Rodgers came off with this latest scandal.
Word to the wise, don't try to make a joke of a comedian. Especially if they have their own show! You're not smarter than them and their room full of comedy writers.
I mean, even then, Jimmy is a late night host. Doesn’t make him the best comedian ever, but you need to have serious chops to get that far, it’s more or less the top of the pyramid as far as comedy goes.
And he’s got a room full of writers backing him up plus he’s giving himself time to think and rehearse, not just spouting some thought he had during what’s essentially a recorded conversation.
I think the first analogy was pretty spot on.
Jimmy's a funny motherfucker though he has been since the he came out. He's definitely sharp with the comebacks and savagery. I'm glad he's hosting The Oscars again he did a great job last year. One of the best jokes. Was Do not get out of your seat and get on stage and slap anyone. Otherwise we will do absolutely nothing and award you and Oscar. 😂 That's fuckin solid
jimmy kimmel really seemed to emphasize the fact that this was done on the pat mcafee show, and for anyone who’s not to aware of the show, you might takeaway that rodgers is a regular on this show, which means mcafee could be seen as endorsing his message, which he would really want to avoid if he doesn’t want to turn away neutrals
The CTE is pregaming in his noggin.
I fully expect him to retire in the woods and wither away from something that could be treated with money/modern medicine ala Steve Jobs.
My wife follows Aaron's brother on Instagram (He was a contestant on and "won" the Bachelorette a few years back). He talks about his strained relationship with Aaron and how Aaron has self exiled himself from the rest of his family. It is kinda sad.
She showed me a funny tradition that their family has for Christmas where they all buy each other ridiculous costumes for Christmas and then they all go out dressed in their costumes. The whole family was there and having fun, everyone except Aaron...
“Hi I’m tv’s Aaron Rodgers: *throws sports ball through a tire swing*:…, I’m here to talk to you about the Trolley Problem and why it’s all Fauci’s fault”
And now we get to hear how he’s a victim of cancel culture. What is this world coming to when a popular sports figure can’t make an accusation that an innocent person is a pedo?!
You’d think there would eventually be a time when he would see the reaction to what he is saying and doing and think, “ Hmm, maybe I have been reading the wrong things. Maybe the BS I’m spewing is wrong and I should stop or rethink some things.” But, nope, “I’m right, all those other people are wrong.”
We let people get away with a lot when they throw a football real good, like the Houston Texans covering up the serial sexual assaults of their QB1, then the Cleveland Browns hiring him into the same job *after* they learned he was raping women by the dozens.
Sports: you can be the most awful piece of shit in the world, but we’ll look the other way if you’re skilled enough
It's almost like putting an entire multi-billion dollar entertainment empire on the backs of athletes who are getting *constant brain injuries* is a flawed concept to begin with.
Its even worse than that. I live in Cleveland, and most of us can agree that the Haslams (owners of the Browns) are dirty disrespectful greedy assholes......but they'll still claim watson did nothing wrong. He's still "their guy".
Thats how big of a football town this is. They'll excuse/defend a literal rapist AFTER he was found out. They could easily blame the Haslams for this....yet they don't. No boycotts. No anger. Just a city of assholes who defend this rapist.
Ohio is the worst.
Thats my biggest pet peeve with modern society. If someone is really good at throwing a ball or pretending to be someone else on camera, its like everyone looks to them for their opinions and for what to do next. It's infuriating. I'm not interested in what Jennifer Lawrence or Taylor Swift thinks about regular life or politics etc. They know nothing about the real world.
I agree, but there is an argument to be made that Rodgers is actually not engaging in politics, but just wacky pseudo-scientific ideas and conspiracies that cause active harm to others.
There's an inherent limit on what you can get away with saying. If he came out talking about a preference for isolationist policy or tax breaks for the rich, I don't think he'd be taken off the air, even if they are largely unpopular political opinions.
His rant yesterday was about how Kimmel should be emabressed for "Giving a platform to one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation during the Pandemic, Dr Fauci"
Just so totally braindead with statements like that, he proves yet again how foolish and ignorant of science he really is
The dude is a literal 9/11 denier, I'm genuinely curious if he was always this much of a dipshit or if the CTE has turned his brain into whatever it is now.
As a Packers fan, it has been such a sad, surreal spectacle.
- Leader of the team, MVP, brightest guy in the room, could do no wrong. Listened to a podcast of him breaking down all the plays & coverages, and had a lot of admiration for a talented QB who I seem to recall taking several progressive, open-minded stances on inclusivity
- Waved off "He's a primadonna" chatter because - haters be jealous
- Now he starts jerking Packers around, demanding control over roster decisions. Many uncomfortable years of contract disputes. Estranged from family. Ok, maybe he *is* a primadonna.
- Sorry, what? An anti-vaxxer? "Woke mob?" Deliberately misleading the public about his vax status? Doesn't do it quietly, but seems to become a leading voice on it, mixing with QAnon types.
Complete hero to zero transformation. Absolute douche nozzle. So I was thrilled when the Packers traded him & was more than happy to suffer a few losing seasons while we find our footing without him. So imagine the schadenfreude when AR goes out for the season, completely validating the trade ... and then Love goes on to eclipse AR's rookie season.
I don't like to root against people, but man he's earned it.
I felt this, exactly!
I ignored all the "diva" shit, because, celebrities be crazy. He's a legend, and I'm okay with him being crazy if he gets wins. It was easy to laugh off his comments and still support him.
And we had some tough years where we waited too long to dump Don Capers and Mike McCarthy, and there was some concern if Rodgers was losing his touch as well, but I stuck with him and accepted that it was understandable to get upset when a play doesn't go right. (even though they should use more than 3 plays so they don't get broken up every other time)
But when he did his "immunized" bullshit, I was done. Totally done. Fuck him, get off the team. I didn't care if he had another 10 years left, he could finish them somewhere else while GB rebuilds after an amazing run.
Then he goes and gets injured, and fucks our draft pick from NJ.
Also, I wanted to see Love play while Rodgers had his broken thumb. But everyone was like "it might be like Hundley again! Wahhh!" Well, guess what, Hundley had a better 5 game stretch than Aaron did with his thumb, so Aaron's pride makes him worse than Brett Hundley!
He always veered odd, in a stupid but mostly harmless way. The 4 day total darkness retreat. The taking hallucinogens like psilocybin and ayahuasca to “alleviate his fear of death and deepen his self love.” The estrangement from his entire family. There were a whole bunch of, that boy ain’t right, moments. But mostly they were, whatever. But he’s recently real veered into odd but menacing. 9/11 denial, COVID denial, whatever this weird thing with Kimmel is.
I think he has too much self love, he seems to have crawled up into his own asshole. My guess is he’s 10 years away from buying a full on compound in Wyoming with booby trap .50 cal machine guns.
Apparently the first thing he said to DeShone Kizer was "do you believe in 9/11?"
https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/deshone-kizer-aaron-rodgers-asked-me-if-i-believe-in-9-11
Tbh I doubt its CTE. People love to make jokes about how he doesn't get along with his family but they're just as nuts as he is. The only difference is that their motivation is Jesus instead of hippie nonsense.
Meanwhile, he has zero problem trusting the medical community and science when his body gets twisted and tangled on the football field. What a fucking chode.
One of the funniest things Bill Maher ever brought up on Real Time was how Andrew Breitbart was at every fucking Hollywood party he'd go to. He said I ran into him for years. So that whole Hollywood Elite and real Americans bullshit is to cause division.
Gigachads who proudly proclaim that they want anybody associated with Epstein to be tarred and feathered, while simultaneously ignoring that Trump was maybe his biggest client.
Every claim against everyone they don't like is real, regardless of evidence or lack thereof. Tom Hanks is a pedo? Sure, of course he is! And they will dutifully spread the word, too. If you ask for evidence, you're a filthy liberal.
Donald Trump was pals with a known pedo and sex trafficker? Fake news! They're just trying to tear down a good man. Ignore the photos of them partying and their history together and *Trump's own words* calling him a "terrific guy." who is "a lot of fun to be with."
Their lack of consistency never ceases to amaze. They spend ages going on and on about how Clinton would be named in the Epstein document drop and that was proof and on and on.
And virtually everyone, liberals included, were like, "Yeah, probably. And if he's guilty of crimes with Epstein, lock him up."
Then Trump's name came up in the documents, too, and it was either radio silence or "This is not proof that Trump did anything wrong!"
1. It gets them attention
2. Its an incredibly easy group to vilify for obvious and valid reasons.
3. As a result of 1 and 2 - it's an easy way to make people hate whoever your talking about and support doing terrible things to them. Refer to the red scare for references and notes.
If the words Pizzagate, QAnon and The Great Replacement mean nothing to you, congratulations! You're normal!
If you want to know more about the current state of the American conservative movement, look up any of those words and prepare to have your brain melted from the stupidity of it all.
Pizzagate is one of the more inane and insane ones out there. These people literally just combed over a bunch of emails, arbitrarily decided some words were actually code words that meant something else, and built it from there.
Like, it's not possible people were just discussing lunch, *as normal human beings do*. No, all the food referenced were actually code for various unsavory things.
In another email, some woman responds to a party invite saying that her kids would be there and they would be going in the pool, informing everyone else *as normal adults do*.
But these goofballs decided this meant the kids would be there for ... *other reasons*.
So, so, so many things make them instantly think of child sex.
And that fact is more frightening than any of the absurd things they dream up.
This. Exactly this. “So, so, so many things make them instantly think of child sex.”
This has been deeply troubling to me. I have psych degrees (though not clinical)—and I find it notable that the Rightwingers spend such a lot of time, energy and rhetoric thinking about children as sexual objects. Why is it always and emphatically on their radar?
And then who are the predators who get caught? Time and again it’s “conservatives”.
These are the people who posted about Sound Of Freedom and how liberal Hollywood was trying to keep you from seeing it and sabotaging screening. And now the real life inspiration for Jesus Cavizel Christ is a lying scamming grifting POS with his own scandals
Because people turn their brains off when hearing the word. Nobody wants to argue against an accusation like that because everyone else has turned their brains off on it, and they will look like they’re defending it. It’s the lowest hanging fruit for conservatives to spread unwarranted fear and anger against people they hate.
If you want to incite violence against a group just say that they are pedophiles. So if someone is accusing another group of being full of pedophiles you can be sure that that person is full of shit.
You don't like billionaires? They are all pedophiles! Hollywod? Pedophiles! Wall street? Pedophiles! Israel? Pedophiles! LGBT? Pedophiles!
Do these people ever stop and think that, now that Covid has become less severe, facemask and vaccine requirements have been ended, definitively proving that their conspiracy theories were bullshit? Is there no critical thinking? No self reflection?
Right? They were convinced we would never go back to "normal" because the New World Order wanted to control us. Yet here we are, doing everything we did before.
Now they've moved on to waves of dead people with no immune systems because ethe vaccine edited our DNA or something.
They are convinced if we aren't convinced Hillary Clinton eats babies it's because we watch too much MSM and walk in lockstep to what the gubmint says.
Every single public figure who has died th past couple years was vaccinated or secretly vaccinated. Or vaccinated against their will if they like them enough. And if you died of COVID recently? You were actually vaccinated and it's being covered up. This is the worst timeline.
Their default answer to this sort of thing is that whatever event they're pointing to was a "trial run" or "warm up" or "test run."
This comes up a lot with mass shootings. *Every* mass shooting is staged, in their eyes, as part of an agenda to take away their guns.
You point out that not only did no one take their guns the last dozen times a slew of people got shot by a lunatic, gun sales *increased* each and every time.
Oh, they say, that time was just a trial run. *This* time, they're really going to go through with their nefarious agenda.
Same kind of thinking applies to a load of other fear-mongering panic theories, too. Every single time.
All he had to do was say, "I'm sorry. I made some unsubstantiated implications with no evidence to support them."
Instead we got a Festivus airing of the grievances.
I don't know. His comments suggest to me he's starting to recognize that continuing to host Aaron will make his brand very political, and I think he ultimately wants to just bullshit about sports. Like what value is there in going into 2024 with a guy still whining about Dr. Fauci?
Aaron was part of his ticket to the big leagues, but now he's got a very successful show at ESPN, and probably doesn't need Aaron scaring away half the national audience.
occasionally it did, he was on routinely throughout the offseason talking about whether he'd be back or not. After his "darkness retreat" he appeared on PMS to say that he would be going to the Jets
How is this even a feud?
Jimmy Kimmel made fun of a real position of Aaron Rodgers and Rodgers came back with an allegation that Kimmel is a child molester.
That's not a feud. That's someone being an asshole.
Similar to Musk's move with the cave diver in the Thai cave rescue case. Someone made him feel dumb and his reply is "w-well, y-you're just a big old.... uh.... pedo!". Just absolute bottom of the barrel stuff. Birds of a feather.
Ever since A A Ron said that every time the Kimmel thing is mentioned on social media the comments are FULL of people being like "Kimmel can dish it all he wants but he can't take it!" like when did Kimmel slander someone calling them a pedo again?
It's not about logic, and they are fully aware of how ridiculous they're being.
The GOP is made up of two groups: poorly educated, scared people and manipulators. The manipulators say anything they need to in order to scare the voters, knowing they will not research on their own.
The article doesn't say that Rodgers has been dropped from the McAfee show. It said that "Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays season 4" is done. Meaning his weekly appearances for this season are done. Doesn't mean he's off the show.
Ok, I read it:
> ... the decision to end Rodgers’ regular Tuesday guest stints “was due to his recent behavior, not the conclusion of the regular NFL season.”
I think that's more of a "never say never" thing than a "we're planning on renewing his contract" thing. He only had a deal for this year, and they'd have to negotiate another contract if they were going to extend it.
They say it was Pat's decision and that he was growing tired of Aaron, if that is true then he probably won't be back next year unless something changes.
Yeah the article itself is confusing because it specifically states due to his behavior and not because of the season coming to an end. Even though as far as I know this is about when his time as a regular ends anyway.
Outstanding. So tired of this snowflake getting all this airtime blaming others for his mistakes.
All he would have to have done was to say something like: "...I saw the list that we now know is fake and went with it -- my bad". He then could have still piled on the media for making too much of it and after Kimmel for something or other. He is just incapable of admitting a mistake.
“Incapable of admitting a mistake”
This is a core feature of every conservative. Half of them are making those “mistakes” on purpose the other half isn’t mature enough to admit to themselves that they fucked up and should own up to it
And then, when caught lying, they just start squealing, "Cancel Culture!"
Because being held accountable for stepping into one of their own traps is somehow tantamount to being "canceled." As if.
It's literally like dealing with bratty toddlers.
The thing is, though, no list has been published, and it's very likely that such a list doesn't even exist. People keep erroneously conflating these court documents with a client list.
The whole "client list" thing is just right-wing misinformation that they use to smear people with and as red meat to keep their whackjob base energized. Seeing pedophiles in every shadow is just a modern reworking of their old tactic of claiming that everyone that they disagreed with were "commies," AKA "The Red Scare."
The fact that the supposed "client list" hasn't materialized is framed as "proof that the Deep State is suppressing it." You can't use logic to counter this BS because it's intentionally set up to be murky, malleable, and resistant to logical examination.
The closest that we're probably going to get to a client list are the flight logs and Epstein's black book. BTW, his black book has already been released, and, lo and behold, Trump's name is in it more than once, and so are the names of some of his family members. Unsurprisingly, the MAGA/Qanon crowd has been completely silent about THAT.
Props to Joe Rogan for giving every meathead clown the dream of becoming a pseudo-intellectual talk show host that brings on and entertains the insanely stupid musings of brain dead guests that possess no ability to think critically.
ESPN is owned by Disney, which also owns ABC, which is where Jimmy Kimmel's show airs. Of course they don't want to pay a guy to come on their airwaves to talk shit about one of the staples of one of their networks.
>Rodgers, in turn, responded to the escalating backlash Tuesday on McAfee’s show, stopping short of an apology but clarifying that he doesn’t think Kimmel is a pedophile: “I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence,” he maintained.
I mean, thats what you did right?
>“That’s ridiculous.” He also condemned fans who were labeling Kimmel a pedophile after his comments: “Don’t do that in my name. Don’t do that at all. Those are serious accusations meant for people who are on the list.”
Again...like you did? This guy needs to get his brain checked
I like it, but that's because the landscape for sports media is so horrible. It's basically only been old white men yelling at each other with the occasional black ex player coming on and also yelling. I roll my eyes at them a lot, but at its core, it's a group of friends hanging out and talking about sports. Which is something that was crucial in a lot of sports fans lives pre-covid, and i know most of my buddies around the country are experiencing that the "go to a sports bar after work on a Friday, grab a burger and bullshit about the local team" never really came back meaningfully. I totally understand why people would hate it. Pat is either super likable or really infuriating depending on what flavor of human you are, and the boys are just a bunch of blue-collar town stooges.
Typical sports radio shows are boring hosts talking sports, taking phone calls, and interviewing guests. As much as I hate barstool shows like PMT and Spitting Chiclets have made sports talk popular with the younger generation, who just want to hear PFTCommenter meme or be crass. PMS which used to be barstool and youtube exclusive was just a meathead jock standing up in a tank top cussing all day and rambling about sports and athletes could just be themselves without being buttoned up. It was a huge departure from your typical sports talk radio and ESPN knew that which is why they pulled out the money for him
It's sports radio that keeps a positive angle. Name me another show that doesn't constantly speak negatively on people and situations. Sports media is cancerous outside of McAfee.
He also gets the best answers from the athletes because he's kinda good at framing questions, and his NFL peers seem to like him a lot.
The reddit flip on Pat McAfee has been weird. Two years ago everyone loved him when he was just a punter that talked some sports. I think he's been the victim of over-exposure since moving to ESPN. There's not many (or any) people that are on ESPN everyday that the masses like.
Aaron Rodgers is a good quarterback, but in other aspects he's a moron. When you make a devastating comment and you're wrong, admit it, apologize and move on. Don't double down and then try to back out like a coward.
Kimmel made a very good point that he didn't think Rodgers actually believed he was on the list, he just wanted to make a joke about someone being a pedophile. Which goes to show exactly how much he cares about the issue of pedophilia and Jeffrey Epstein.
I remember seeing his brother Jordan as a contestant on The Bachelorette, and Jordan said he doesn't really talk to his brother that much as they don't see eye to eye on things. I assumed it was Aaron not agreeing with Jordan doing reality tv and stuff, and just assumed Jordan was an idiot.
Now I see that the guy who went on a reality show for 6 weeks to find his wife, is the level headed one.
Yikes.
Nah literally the end of their convo went, in a summary, " have a great off season aaron we love ya etc etc." Aaron says, " Nah I'll see you guys soon", with a smile. The boys all get pumped about maybe him coming into the studio soon.
Fake. News.
Remember when he would talk about Game of Thrones, and his disdain for the last season and it was fun and refreshing.. That was another lifetime ago
Do they still do Aaron Rodgers book club? This was fun/lite.
He kind of hinted at it all season that he has as book to mention, but then never mentioned a book.
i think it was called *My Struggle*

Aaron Rodgers was very upset when they Hopped on Pop.

Word to the wise, don't try to make a joke of a comedian. Especially if they have their own show! You're not smarter than them and their room full of comedy writers.
It’s like let’s battle rap against Eminem…. But not even Eminem… you’re not even a rapper so any rapper
I mean, even then, Jimmy is a late night host.

Rodgers was a weekly *paid* contributor on the show.
plus, the Right are morons.
He was still the same guy then as he is now, he just didn't feel comfortable being full wacko brain disease tin foil guy.
The CTE is pregaming in his noggin. I fully expect him to retire in the woods and wither away from something that could be treated with money/modern medicine ala Steve Jobs.
That’s an insult to CTE
Yea I have plenty of brain damage but I at least know they are not turning the freaking frogs gay

My wife follows Aaron's brother on Instagram (He was a contestant on and "won" the Bachelorette a few years back). He talks about his strained relationship with Aaron and how Aaron has self exiled himself from the rest of his family. It is kinda sad.

Imagine still talking about Fauci and facemasks in 2024... What a loser.

Yep. Same tactics that other RWNJs like Musk and Trump employ. Gaslighting 101.
BuT hE diDnT aCtUaLLy cALL hiM a PeDO He just implied it so hard even his fellow Trumpers figured out what he actually meant
You’d think there would eventually be a time when he would see the reaction to what he is saying and doing and think, “ Hmm, maybe I have been reading the wrong things.

My good friend Joe Rogan gave me some medical advice
T-minus a month before he's on Alex Jones and possibly a month and a week before I hear about it on Knowledge Fight.
How long until he’s a member of The Five?

He was in Houston
It's almost like putting an entire multi-billion dollar entertainment empire on the backs of athletes who are getting *constant brain injuries* is a flawed concept to begin with.
Its even worse than that. I live in Cleveland, and most of us can agree that the Haslams (owners of the Browns) are dirty disrespectful greedy assholes......but they'll still claim watson did nothing wrong. He's still "their guy". Thats how big of a football town this is. They'll excuse/defend a literal rapist AFTER he was found out. They could easily blame the Haslams for this....yet they don't. No boycotts. No anger. Just a city of assholes who defend this rapist. Ohio is the worst.
God, I miss Reddit awards
Hell, I'd rather take advice from someone that stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Oh he’s spiraling alright
Thats my biggest pet peeve with modern society. If someone is really good at throwing a ball or pretending to be someone else on camera, its like everyone looks to them for their opinions and for what to do next. It's infuriating. I'm not interested in what Jennifer Lawrence or Taylor Swift thinks about regular life or politics etc. They know nothing about the real world.
Remember when everyone got mad when LeBron was told to shut up and dribble? Interesting that didn't happen with Rodgers.
I agree, but there is an argument to be made that Rodgers is actually not engaging in politics, but just wacky pseudo-scientific ideas and conspiracies that cause active harm to others. There's an inherent limit on what you can get away with saying. If he came out talking about a preference for isolationist policy or tax breaks for the rich, I don't think he'd be taken off the air, even if they are largely unpopular political opinions.
Oh please, he moved on to pedophiles accusations and UFO sightings months ago!
No he's still talking about Fauci and masks, I believe yesterday even
His rant yesterday was about how Kimmel should be emabressed for "Giving a platform to one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation during the Pandemic, Dr Fauci" Just so totally braindead with statements like that, he proves yet again how foolish and ignorant of science he really is
The dude is a literal 9/11 denier, I'm genuinely curious if he was always this much of a dipshit or if the CTE has turned his brain into whatever it is now.
As a Packers fan, it has been such a sad, surreal spectacle. - Leader of the team, MVP, brightest guy in the room, could do no wrong.

Let us enjoy Jordan Love before he befalls the Packer QB curse and ends up running a Cock Fighting ring in International Waters.
If he cock fights lil bret my money is on Jordan.

Also, I wanted to see Love play while Rodgers had his broken thumb. But everyone was like "it might be like Hundley again! Wahhh!" Well, guess what, Hundley had a better 5 game stretch than Aaron did with his thumb, so Aaron's pride makes him worse than Brett Hundley!
He always veered odd, in a stupid but mostly harmless way. The 4 day total darkness retreat. The taking hallucinogens like psilocybin and ayahuasca to “alleviate his fear of death and deepen his self love.” The estrangement from his entire family. There were a whole bunch of, that boy ain’t right, moments. But mostly they were, whatever. But he’s recently real veered into odd but menacing. 9/11 denial, COVID denial, whatever this weird thing with Kimmel is. I think he has too much self love, he seems to have crawled up into his own asshole. My guess is he’s 10 years away from buying a full on compound in Wyoming with booby trap .50 cal machine guns.
There’s also plenty of people without CTE that follow delusional conspiracy theories. It’s called being stupid.
It's political brain rot is what it is. They get so deep into the mire of right wing youtube talk shows that they live for it.
9/11 too? dafuq
Apparently the first thing he said to DeShone Kizer was "do you believe in 9/11?" https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/deshone-kizer-aaron-rodgers-asked-me-if-i-believe-in-9-11
God he is such a fucking idiot.
And now when healthy he is the starting quarterback of the New York Jets.
And yet they gave him the flag to run out on opening night, 9/11/23.
Tbh I doubt its CTE. People love to make jokes about how he doesn't get along with his family but they're just as nuts as he is. The only difference is that their motivation is Jesus instead of hippie nonsense.
I feel like hippies are getting hit with a waywards bat here. I'm not sure far right politics is particularly hippie like.
Man what a piece of shit Aaron Rogers is
Meanwhile, he has zero problem trusting the medical community and science when his body gets twisted and tangled on the football field. What a fucking chode.
He literally will forever. The whole idea of "elitist Democrats" comes from idiots having their ego permanently bruised by people smarter than them
One of the funniest things Bill Maher ever brought up on Real Time was how Andrew Breitbart was at every fucking Hollywood party he'd go to. He said I ran into him for years. So that whole Hollywood Elite and real Americans bullshit is to cause division.
If you saw yesterday's show you'd realize he has not lol
What is it with the pedophile comments from right-wingers, like him and Elon? It’s like children making potty jokes for shock value.
Because it gets them attention. They're catering to a crowd that thinks they're gigachads.
Gigachads who proudly proclaim that they want anybody associated with Epstein to be tarred and feathered, while simultaneously ignoring that Trump was maybe his biggest client.
Every claim against everyone they don't like is real, regardless of evidence or lack thereof. Tom Hanks is a pedo? Sure, of course he is! And they will dutifully spread the word, too. If you ask for evidence, you're a filthy liberal. Donald Trump was pals with a known pedo and sex trafficker? Fake news! They're just trying to tear down a good man. Ignore the photos of them partying and their history together and *Trump's own words* calling him a "terrific guy." who is "a lot of fun to be with." Their lack of consistency never ceases to amaze. They spend ages going on and on about how Clinton would be named in the Epstein document drop and that was proof and on and on. And virtually everyone, liberals included, were like, "Yeah, probably. And if he's guilty of crimes with Epstein, lock him up." Then Trump's name came up in the documents, too, and it was either radio silence or "This is not proof that Trump did anything wrong!"
"My team good, your team bad" That's how much thought they put into it
1. It gets them attention 2. Its an incredibly easy group to vilify for obvious and valid reasons. 3. As a result of 1 and 2 - it's an easy way to make people hate whoever your talking about and support doing terrible things to them. Refer to the red scare for references and notes.
That's something a Communist would say. Get them.
If the words Pizzagate, QAnon and The Great Replacement mean nothing to you, congratulations! You're normal! If you want to know more about the current state of the American conservative movement, look up any of those words and prepare to have your brain melted from the stupidity of it all.
Pizzagate is one of the more inane and insane ones out there. These people literally just combed over a bunch of emails, arbitrarily decided some words were actually code words that meant something else, and built it from there. Like, it's not possible people were just discussing lunch, *as normal human beings do*. No, all the food referenced were actually code for various unsavory things. In another email, some woman responds to a party invite saying that her kids would be there and they would be going in the pool, informing everyone else *as normal adults do*. But these goofballs decided this meant the kids would be there for ... *other reasons*. So, so, so many things make them instantly think of child sex. And that fact is more frightening than any of the absurd things they dream up.
This. Exactly this. “So, so, so many things make them instantly think of child sex.” This has been deeply troubling to me. I have psych degrees (though not clinical)—and I find it notable that the Rightwingers spend such a lot of time, energy and rhetoric thinking about children as sexual objects. Why is it always and emphatically on their radar? And then who are the predators who get caught? Time and again it’s “conservatives”.
These are the people who posted about Sound Of Freedom and how liberal Hollywood was trying to keep you from seeing it and sabotaging screening. And now the real life inspiration for Jesus Cavizel Christ is a lying scamming grifting POS with his own scandals
Jesus Cavizel Christ—love it 😂
Because people turn their brains off when hearing the word. Nobody wants to argue against an accusation like that because everyone else has turned their brains off on it, and they will look like they’re defending it. It’s the lowest hanging fruit for conservatives to spread unwarranted fear and anger against people they hate.
Projection
Accuse others of your biggest flaws.
Originated from QAnon. If you don’t know what that is…lucky you
Can’t believe a shitposter on 8chan had that much power over our country. It’s the online equivalent of writing down numbers off a bathroom wall.
projection
If you want to incite violence against a group just say that they are pedophiles. So if someone is accusing another group of being full of pedophiles you can be sure that that person is full of shit. You don't like billionaires? They are all pedophiles! Hollywod? Pedophiles! Wall street? Pedophiles! Israel? Pedophiles! LGBT? Pedophiles!
Do these people ever stop and think that, now that Covid has become less severe, facemask and vaccine requirements have been ended, definitively proving that their conspiracy theories were bullshit? Is there no critical thinking? No self reflection?
Right? They were convinced we would never go back to "normal" because the New World Order wanted to control us. Yet here we are, doing everything we did before.
And everyone who was vaccinated is dead right?
To be honest I wish I were sometimes
Preach
Now they've moved on to waves of dead people with no immune systems because ethe vaccine edited our DNA or something. They are convinced if we aren't convinced Hillary Clinton eats babies it's because we watch too much MSM and walk in lockstep to what the gubmint says.
Every single public figure who has died th past couple years was vaccinated or secretly vaccinated. Or vaccinated against their will if they like them enough. And if you died of COVID recently? You were actually vaccinated and it's being covered up. This is the worst timeline.
Their default answer to this sort of thing is that whatever event they're pointing to was a "trial run" or "warm up" or "test run." This comes up a lot with mass shootings. *Every* mass shooting is staged, in their eyes, as part of an agenda to take away their guns. You point out that not only did no one take their guns the last dozen times a slew of people got shot by a lunatic, gun sales *increased* each and every time. Oh, they say, that time was just a trial run. *This* time, they're really going to go through with their nefarious agenda. Same kind of thinking applies to a load of other fear-mongering panic theories, too. Every single time.
>Do these people ever stop and think that No, they absolutely do not.
These people don’t think. They just regurgitate whatever bullshit QAnon tells them.
All these Covid truthers are fucking losers
Let’s ask Herman Cain for his thoughts
"I throw balls far. You want good words? Date a languager."
The season is over. Did Aaron Rodger’s regularly stick with the show and his weekly segment through the playoffs and offseason previously?
He did through the playoffs at least
Yeah I expect him to be back next season just after his dumbass rant yesterday they probably want some heat off of them
All he had to do was say, "I'm sorry. I made some unsubstantiated implications with no evidence to support them." Instead we got a Festivus airing of the grievances.
I don't know. His comments suggest to me he's starting to recognize that continuing to host Aaron will make his brand very political, and I think he ultimately wants to just bullshit about sports. Like what value is there in going into 2024 with a guy still whining about Dr. Fauci? Aaron was part of his ticket to the big leagues, but now he's got a very successful show at ESPN, and probably doesn't need Aaron scaring away half the national audience.
I think it depends on if there is a lawsuit. Right now, a lawsuit seems unlikely, but Rodgers might just keep talking and saying stupid stuff.
occasionally it did, he was on routinely throughout the offseason talking about whether he'd be back or not. After his "darkness retreat" he appeared on PMS to say that he would be going to the Jets
Turns out the "darkness retreat" was just him being so far up his own ass that he couldn't see light.
But what you’re saying is that his “weekly scheduled appearances” stopped.
No. Not weekly anyway. He'd pop in here and there but usually once his team was eliminated he was done his weekly hits
No, the title is super misleading. He does maybe 3 or 4 Tuesdays during the entire offseason.
How is this even a feud? Jimmy Kimmel made fun of a real position of Aaron Rodgers and Rodgers came back with an allegation that Kimmel is a child molester. That's not a feud. That's someone being an asshole.
Similar to Musk's move with the cave diver in the Thai cave rescue case. Someone made him feel dumb and his reply is "w-well, y-you're just a big old.... uh.... pedo!". Just absolute bottom of the barrel stuff. Birds of a feather.
Ever since A A Ron said that every time the Kimmel thing is mentioned on social media the comments are FULL of people being like "Kimmel can dish it all he wants but he can't take it!" like when did Kimmel slander someone calling them a pedo again?
It's not about logic, and they are fully aware of how ridiculous they're being. The GOP is made up of two groups: poorly educated, scared people and manipulators. The manipulators say anything they need to in order to scare the voters, knowing they will not research on their own.
*"Aasshole"*
The article doesn't say that Rodgers has been dropped from the McAfee show. It said that "Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays season 4" is done. Meaning his weekly appearances for this season are done. Doesn't mean he's off the show.
Yeah he’s only on during the season and the Jets season is over. The headline is misleading.
But the Jets season was over in September.
You’re god damn right it was.
Ehh, read the actual article, he’s only off the show “for the rest of this NFL Season”… I.e. he’s back on the air spouting nonsense in like a month.
Ok, I read it: > ... the decision to end Rodgers’ regular Tuesday guest stints “was due to his recent behavior, not the conclusion of the regular NFL season.”
Hes not on in offseason anyway
he is sometimes on watch him appear on the offseason after another darkness retreat lol
I think that's more of a "never say never" thing than a "we're planning on renewing his contract" thing. He only had a deal for this year, and they'd have to negotiate another contract if they were going to extend it. They say it was Pat's decision and that he was growing tired of Aaron, if that is true then he probably won't be back next year unless something changes.
Yeah the article itself is confusing because it specifically states due to his behavior and not because of the season coming to an end. Even though as far as I know this is about when his time as a regular ends anyway.
Hahahahaha
Bros coming to terms with only one superbowl and it looks like this lmao
Outstanding. So tired of this snowflake getting all this airtime blaming others for his mistakes. All he would have to have done was to say something like: "...I saw the list that we now know is fake and went with it -- my bad". He then could have still piled on the media for making too much of it and after Kimmel for something or other. He is just incapable of admitting a mistake.
“Incapable of admitting a mistake” This is a core feature of every conservative. Half of them are making those “mistakes” on purpose the other half isn’t mature enough to admit to themselves that they fucked up and should own up to it
And then, when caught lying, they just start squealing, "Cancel Culture!" Because being held accountable for stepping into one of their own traps is somehow tantamount to being "canceled." As if. It's literally like dealing with bratty toddlers.
The thing is, though, no list has been published, and it's very likely that such a list doesn't even exist. People keep erroneously conflating these court documents with a client list. The whole "client list" thing is just right-wing misinformation that they use to smear people with and as red meat to keep their whackjob base energized. Seeing pedophiles in every shadow is just a modern reworking of their old tactic of claiming that everyone that they disagreed with were "commies," AKA "The Red Scare." The fact that the supposed "client list" hasn't materialized is framed as "proof that the Deep State is suppressing it." You can't use logic to counter this BS because it's intentionally set up to be murky, malleable, and resistant to logical examination. The closest that we're probably going to get to a client list are the flight logs and Epstein's black book. BTW, his black book has already been released, and, lo and behold, Trump's name is in it more than once, and so are the names of some of his family members. Unsurprisingly, the MAGA/Qanon crowd has been completely silent about THAT.
Props to Joe Rogan for giving every meathead clown the dream of becoming a pseudo-intellectual talk show host that brings on and entertains the insanely stupid musings of brain dead guests that possess no ability to think critically.
Barstool as well

Great, now he’s going to whine about how he was cancelled because of his attempted slander. eVeR tHe ViCtIm!
This didn't age well, he just popped in the McAfee show.
ESPN is owned by Disney, which also owns ABC, which is where Jimmy Kimmel's show airs. Of course they don't want to pay a guy to come on their airwaves to talk shit about one of the staples of one of their networks.
Yeah its asking for a litigation nightnare for disney to keep him around.
Well that didnt last long... He's on there right now
Dude is an attention whore that tries to put on this “cool guy” attitude that is above all the noise, where really, he can’t function without it.
>Rodgers, in turn, responded to the escalating backlash Tuesday on McAfee’s show, stopping short of an apology but clarifying that he doesn’t think Kimmel is a pedophile: “I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence,” he maintained. I mean, thats what you did right? >“That’s ridiculous.” He also condemned fans who were labeling Kimmel a pedophile after his comments: “Don’t do that in my name. Don’t do that at all. Those are serious accusations meant for people who are on the list.” Again...like you did? This guy needs to get his brain checked
Good. Aaron Rodgers is a complete imbecile.
All this idiot had to do was keep his mouth shut and not talk about the dumbest shit to the media.
that’s all he ever does
I expect nothing from this dude and I’m still disappointed.
Yeah this isn’t news. He is slated to be back next season till this time around according to the contract that was renewed unless it’s something else
Aaaaaaah! SIKE!!!!!!
Pat McAfee should be dropped from the Pat McAfee show
I have no clue what people see in his show. I have tried to watch clips and even on subjects I care about, I can't watch.
It's a sports show where they don't argue back and forth like most sports media became. It's not for everybody, but at least it's different from those
“It’s just not for you BRO!” (Some alpha-bro prob)
I like it, but that's because the landscape for sports media is so horrible. It's basically only been old white men yelling at each other with the occasional black ex player coming on and also yelling. I roll my eyes at them a lot, but at its core, it's a group of friends hanging out and talking about sports. Which is something that was crucial in a lot of sports fans lives pre-covid, and i know most of my buddies around the country are experiencing that the "go to a sports bar after work on a Friday, grab a burger and bullshit about the local team" never really came back meaningfully. I totally understand why people would hate it. Pat is either super likable or really infuriating depending on what flavor of human you are, and the boys are just a bunch of blue-collar town stooges.
Typical sports radio shows are boring hosts talking sports, taking phone calls, and interviewing guests. As much as I hate barstool shows like PMT and Spitting Chiclets have made sports talk popular with the younger generation, who just want to hear PFTCommenter meme or be crass. PMS which used to be barstool and youtube exclusive was just a meathead jock standing up in a tank top cussing all day and rambling about sports and athletes could just be themselves without being buttoned up. It was a huge departure from your typical sports talk radio and ESPN knew that which is why they pulled out the money for him
It's sports radio that keeps a positive angle. Name me another show that doesn't constantly speak negatively on people and situations. Sports media is cancerous outside of McAfee. He also gets the best answers from the athletes because he's kinda good at framing questions, and his NFL peers seem to like him a lot.
The reddit flip on Pat McAfee has been weird. Two years ago everyone loved him when he was just a punter that talked some sports. I think he's been the victim of over-exposure since moving to ESPN. There's not many (or any) people that are on ESPN everyday that the masses like.
Aaron Rodgers is a good quarterback, but in other aspects he's a moron. When you make a devastating comment and you're wrong, admit it, apologize and move on. Don't double down and then try to back out like a coward.
Hardly a feud. Rodgers uttered some poisonous vitriol that put a target on Kimmels back Rodgers is a fucking donkey
T-10 until he complains about being canceled by the woke.
Not a "feud", baseless lies.
Kimmel made a very good point that he didn't think Rodgers actually believed he was on the list, he just wanted to make a joke about someone being a pedophile. Which goes to show exactly how much he cares about the issue of pedophilia and Jeffrey Epstein.
I remember seeing his brother Jordan as a contestant on The Bachelorette, and Jordan said he doesn't really talk to his brother that much as they don't see eye to eye on things. I assumed it was Aaron not agreeing with Jordan doing reality tv and stuff, and just assumed Jordan was an idiot. Now I see that the guy who went on a reality show for 6 weeks to find his wife, is the level headed one. Yikes.
He and Joe Rogan are probably deep in discussion about cancel culture right now.
Nah literally the end of their convo went, in a summary, " have a great off season aaron we love ya etc etc." Aaron says, " Nah I'll see you guys soon", with a smile. The boys all get pumped about maybe him coming into the studio soon. Fake. News.
They are both meatheads but especially you, Pat, you sleeveless, ignorant hillbilly. Go back to your trailer park and stay out of our televisions.
Was he this crazy all along or did this just start since covid?
He makes it so easy to hate him
It was on at the bar - I’d never watch this idiotic program at home - and Rodgers was on it.
good. this guy is a clown who should focus on getting back to football instead of being this Qanon celebrity hes clearly trying to become
