There is only one show that Aaron Rodgers regularly makes time for. That is The Pat McAfee Show. However, the host says anyone that is coming to him for a scoop on Rodgers’s future plans will be sorely disappointed.
“We legitimately know nothing,” McAfee said Tuesday after finding out that members of the New York Jets’ front office have a meeting scheduled with Rodgers. “People think that we would be the people that know stuff.”
McAfee added that if the Jets have set up a meeting, that likely means Rodgers is planning to play in 2023. McAfee said he knew that the two-time MVP was seriously considering retirement the last time they spoke
There is one member of The Pat McAfee Show cast that has a long relationship with Aaron Rodgers. Co-host AJ Hawk and Rodgers were teammates in Green Bay for nine years. Rodgers has said on the show before that Hawk is the reason he trusts McAfee.
Pat McAfee couldn’t help but grill Hawk.
“AJ, we want you to know everybody in this room thinks you f***ing know,” he said.
Hawk assured the crew that he knew nothing. He added that he wouldn’t even make an effort to find out, because chasing news is boring to him. All it is is bothering people to get them to tell you things they likely will not.
McAfee agreed that he would not want to know, but for a different reason.
“People have to know that I know nothing. Even though people assume I do know stuff, I do not. I literally do not. And to AJ’s point, I don’t want to know, because I’ve got to be on this thing for three and a half hours,” he said pointing to the microphone. “You tell me and it’s probably going to end up right through here, so I protect myself.”
