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.

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
