According to Mike McCarthy of Front Office Sports, there's "surprisingly little" interest from media executives in bringing Rodgers on board after his playing career concludes.

"Their main concern, under condition of anonymity, is that Rodgers comes off as a pompous know-it-all who would turn off viewers. His dalliance with COVID-19 conspiracy theories and public feuds with critics like Jimmy Kimmel onThe Pat McAfee Show also concern some. With that in mind, the prospect of hiring Rodgers does not thrill executives," wrote McCarthy.

"Yes, he could be a great analyst. But he's insufferable," one source told McCarthy.
Can’t believe he parlayed guest spots on The Office and Jeopardy into being so annoying that people enjoy seeing him fail

he has taken a lot of big hits to the head in his career. would not be surprised if that is part of this too. sometimes the concussion story ends weirder and weirder (e.g. Antonio Brown)

he will def generate some clickbait that's for sure

maybe McAfee will send him on-assignment for personal interest pieces

he can 'get to know the real [XYZ player]' interviewing them in his shaman hut, incense burning, and offering them psychedelics

it's such a brutal sport

i was at a game in-person this past season up real close and saw some player get clocked by two defenders

he looked like he got ht by a car

was pretty unsettling in-person

seeing his body flail in panic / pain as he got hit

i feel really bad for tua

At this point I equate it with cigarette smokers; you know the potential for danger and are a willing participant. They gotta be better about pulling concussed players out of games though

it's different because people don't get paid millions of dollars to smoke.. we as a culture need to look down on violent sports the way we do with smoking

Aaron Rodgers is going to run for office or be appointed to something. It’s only a matter of time, unfortunately. “Smart by footballs standards” and “conspiracy theorist” and “famous” equal some kind of MAGA/MAHA consolation.
