Through the latter part of his legendary NFL career, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been known as somebody who isn’t exactly a fan of the media.
While on The Pat McAfee Show this week, Rodgers called out those at ESPN and those in the media as a whole for being personality-driven.
ESPN’s Mina Kimes responded Thursday to Rodgers’s claim on First Take.
“He’s espousing that opinion on a personality-driven program that employs him as a personality during the NFL season,” Kimes said.

Aaron Rodgers vs. the media is one of the ultimate rivalries in sports.
One of the greatest players to ever play the game against those trying to report on him and how he has handled himself throughout his career.
It is easy to see how Rodgers could have a problem with the things that are said about by those who don’t necessarily know him on a personal level.
It is also easy to see why Kimes would want to respond considering it is her profession that Rodgers has an issue with.
However, Rodgers is not actually employed by The Pat McAfee Show and does not have to appear regularly, even though he is usually on every Tuesday during the NFL season.
