Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Kimmel

Back in January, Green Bay Packers legend Aaron Rodgers made late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel furious when he seemingly implied during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show that Kimmel had ties to Jeffrey Epstein — the convicted sex offender.

Over a month later, Rodgers touched on the subject of his feud with Kimmel when he guested on a different podcast, this time on The Joe Rogan Experience. Rodgers told Rogan that what he said about Kimmel was…

One of the hardest tasks anyone could have in the NBA today is the job of slowing down two-time NBA Most Valuable Player and Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. As one of the most unstoppable forces in the league today, he’s expected to put up tremendous numbers on an almost nightly basis.
