SUMMARY
- The feud between Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel has escalated.
- Kimmel expressed the impact of Rodgers' comments on his family, stating that Rodgers either didn't believe what he said or was seeking revenge for previous remarks.
The feud between Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel about Roger’s callous comment about Kimmel regarding Epstein’s list has not found a proper conclusion yet. Aaron Rodgers, the star quarterback of the New York Jets, was recently vanquished by the comedian turned anchor Kimmel, in his first New Year show. Things have turned more fiery recently.
The fuel to the firestorm was Kimmel’s recent seven-minute-long monologue. He had asked for an apology from Rodgers, whose comments made him and his family confront various undue precarious situations. Kimmel said that a person as influential as Aaron Rodgers can convince people about any irrational fable. Consequently, his wife and his children had to face the repercussions.

Kimmel said that Aaron either did not believe what he said or was trying to take vengeance for the late-night anchors comment on his vaccinations. He had also mocked Rodgers years ago about his UFO comments. Kimmel also added that Aaron Rodgers “has a very high opinion of himself.” His on-field success has dissolved his altruistic side.
It is indeed a serious matter to profane a revered person like Kimmel without strong evidence on a media platform. Additionally, he also questioned Aaron Rodger’s academic acumen. He said, “Aaron got two A’s on his report card, and they were both in the word ‘Aaron‘..” Pat McAfee also recently came up to break the ice between them.
But Kimmel doesn’t seem to be very convinced about it. Directing towards the host, Kimmel said that calling someone a “pedophile” without supporting evidence is not acceptable. It doesn’t have even an iota of humor to it and can’t be justified by any explanation.
Kimmel said he would let go of Rodgers if he rightfully apologized. He anticipates that Rodgers, being obstinate, won’t bother to apologize to him. If he does, Kimmel assures that, being the gentleman he is, he will move on and not insinuate anything further.
Collegiate stats and successes of Aaron Rodgers
While Rodgers was constructing his collegiate football career, he went to two schools but graduated from none.

In 2005, Rodgers signed a $7.7 Million deal with the Packers.
Aaron Rodgers had a legendary trail to look back on. He has been honored as the NFL Most Valuable Player four times. He has also been conferred with the Bert Bell Award and the Bart Starr Award. Rodgers is a Super Bowl MVP and has never failed to amaze his supporters with his performance on the field. But his sharp tongue has often made him fall into trouble.
