Aaron Rodgers still has a list
Rodgers used a two-hour podcast to settle old scores with two Packers teammates and two exes, without naming a single one.
In brief
Rodgers used a two-hour podcast to settle old scores with two Packers teammates and two exes, without naming a single one. Rodgers's grudges outlast the relationships, and he frames every critic as someone borrowing his fame. Originally reported by New York Post.
The podcast that went viral
Rodgers, now the Steelers quarterback, spent nearly two hours on Cam Heyward's "Not Just Football" podcast. Part 2 turned into a reckoning with old Green Bay teammates.
Two teammates, no names
He said only two of everyone he ever played with went public about a bad experience with him. One was bitter, he said. The other just was not smart.
“One was bitter because he went to another team and never became a player again.”
The one that stung
Rodgers said he spent hours the night before games in that teammate's room, walking through the plan and the checks. The betrayal landed harder because of it.
“I went above and beyond for that guy.”
Greg Jennings, likely target one
Jennings left Green Bay for Minnesota in 2013 and has criticized Rodgers for years. Last week on FS1 he ripped Rodgers for calling out Steelers receiver Roman Wilson in public.
“When we look at Rodgers, it's like, do you ever do anything wrong?”
Jermichael Finley, likely target two
The retired tight end questioned Rodgers on ESPN after a 38-2 loss opened the 2021 season, the year after Rodgers won MVP.
“I just don't see a work ethic in Aaron Rodgers that I have in previous years.”
Then he turned on his exes
Rodgers extended the same charge to Shailene Woodley and Danica Patrick, saying they trade on his name and tell their own version of events.
“Why are you still talking about me? It's been years.”
What to remember
Rodgers's grudges outlast the relationships, and he frames every critic as someone borrowing his fame.
