Aaron Rodgers further refuted Boomer Esiason’s outlandish report that the Packers quarterback would threaten to sit out of Super Bowl LVI in an attempt to alter the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols, should Green Bay advance that far in the postseason.
Esiason shared last week that he received a text message from a trusted source who said Rodgers would do so. The report has since been set on fire, and Rodgers himself took a flame thrower to it while on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday.
“Like I said, you know, I’ve given a lot less (expletive) last couple of years, but one thing I do give a major (expletive) about is narratives about me, especially ones that are so ridiculously off base, and this one was pure comedy for me,” Rodgers said on the podcast.
