If you thought New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had any designs on pulling back on his opinions in the new year, think again. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the 40-year-old future NFL Hall of Famer suggested late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel might be nervous about the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Oh, and he also floated the idea that the NFL is rigged.

Aaron Rodgers kicked off a segment with the host by embracing a conspiracy theory that the Super Bowl logo features the colors of the teams that eventually end up playing in the game.

An X post by NFL Memes in September included an image that explained the theory and showed recent examples. The group also predicted that based on this theory, the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers would be facing each other in Super Bowl LVIII.

ā€œIf the Super Bowl Baltimore and San Fran, Iā€™ll tell you what, that Super Bowl 59 emblem better have Jet green on it,” Rodgers said.

“I know youā€™ve seen that one … thatā€™s a real interesting one,ā€ Rodgers said of the conspiracy theory.

Aaron Rodgers Drops A Neutron Bomb On Jimmy Kimmel

As if suggesting the Super Bowl participants are pre-determined wasn’t enough, Aaron Rodgers dropped an ‘out of nowhere’ bomb on Kimmel.

McAfee asked what Rodgers was talking about with the logo conspiracy and co-host AJ Hawk asked if the theory had anything to do with the ā€œEpstein list that came out.ā€

ā€œThatā€™s supposed to be coming out soon,” Rodgers replied. “Thereā€™s a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel that are really hoping that doesnā€™t come out.”

A Manhattan federal judge ordered the release of documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein this week. Epstein was convicted of procuring for prostitution a girl below the age of 18 in 2008 and was facing sex trafficking charges until he died, according to authorities by suicide, in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.

His client list and associated documents are expected to unmask numerous high-profile politicians, business leaders, and celebrities who allegedly partook in his services.

Kimmel Mocked Rodgers Over The Epstein List

Kimmel has downplayed the significance of the Jeffrey Epstein list, most likely because a significant number of his colleagues in Hollywood are going to be unmasked if it’s ever released.

The late-night talk show host referred to Rodgers as a “tin foil hatter” for wanting to know who is on the list and suggested, “It might be time to revisit that concussion protocol.”

After McAfee joked that Rodgers had been “waiting in his wine cellar” for the release of the court documents, Rodgers replied that if the Epstein list comes out he “will definitely be popping some sort of bottle.”

Some 177 people will be identified across hundreds of files when the Epstein documents are made public. Meaning there are a lot of people who will be popping a bottle or two as well.
