NFL analyst Pat McAfee invited Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday. The four-time MVP made controversial remarks on McAfee’s show during his appearance.
Rodgers also called out McAfee’s employers, ESPN, for their lack of coverage of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s controversial Senate appearance last week. NFL insider Robert Littal called out McAfee for allowing an “unhinged” Rodgers to stir controversy on his podcast.
Thanks for the submission!

A fan reacted to Littal’s remark, alleging that McAfee gets away with it because he is “liked” more than his contemporaries. However, Littal dismissed the narrative that McAfee is liked by his coworkers at ESPN.

“I can tell you factually McAfee is not beloved by a faction of people inside the ESPN building, but what McAfee has that others don’t is power and leverage over his brand because he didn’t let ESPN just buy it outright they can’t really police what he does.”
Littal also dismissed Rodgers’ comments about Fauci on the podcast, accusing him of lying about the vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While Robert Littal accused Aaron Rodgers of lying about his vaccination, former Steelers defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko slammed the NFL insider for his comments.
“In a one-month span during November 2021, ESPN headlined Aaron Rodgers and his COVID beliefs, vaccination, and health about 15 times,” Fehoko responded to Littal’s remark about Rodgers.
“So, race baiting clown dude, if a guy has a platform to speak on something he was ridiculed for years and is now right, is that a problem? You clown ass race baiters love freedom of speech until it doesn’t fit your agenda.”
The controversy sparked as Rodgers prepares for his second season with the Steelers this year.
