Biden Is Going to Make Him a Target for Liberal America Again

Jets quarterback and Super Bowl champion Aaron Rodgers, a frequent guest of the Pat McAfee Show, is going to make himself a target for liberal America again with this appropriate nickname of Joe Biden. Rodgers has been out with a torn Achilles he suffered against the Buffalo Bills on week one of the 2023 NFL season. It’s a name you might have said yourself or heard others mentioning it, but it’s spot-on all the same. At the same time, he dropped the new moniker for Joe over a topic that conservatives might find disagreeable (via Newsweek):

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has had harsh words for President Joe Biden in the past, and he took another shot on Tuesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show.

As his appearance on the show wound down, Rodgers and McAfee discussed a backdrop behind McAfee that depicted a wintery scene of falling snow under a night sky. McAfee noted that people in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have been drawing obscene pictures in the snow.

Rodgers claimed he misheard McAfee.

"I thought you said 'Snowden,'" Rodgers said. "I thought we were going to get into a new conversation about Ed Snowden."

[…]

Rodgers believes Snowden should be pardoned by Biden, in addition to fellow whistleblowers Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning.

"I think 'Weekend at Bernie's' should pardon Snowden and [Julian] Assange," Rodgers said. "That's a start. And [Chelsea] Manning. Manning, Snowden and Assange. ... Pardon them all. 'Weekend at Bernie's,' if you're listening, pardon them all."

We watch Rodgers for his talent on the field; he’s not directing national security policy. But it is an undisputable fact that the Biden White House staff is dragging this man along, hoping he can cross the 2024 finish line with a re-election victory. This isn’t the first time Rodgers has made controversial remarks.

During the COVID pandemic, Future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers shocked the sports world when he eschewed getting the COVID vaccine. He expressed his hesitancy over getting the shot due his allergies to the ingredients in the both the Pfizer and Moderna shots. He was also worried about the side effects of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which was marred by tales of recipients getting blood clots. He became one of professional sports’ biggest targets for the woke mob, where some journalists felt he should not be granted NFL MVP honors. And as with anything the woke mob likes, they were in the minority. Rodgers was named NFL MVP in 2020 and 2021.

Rodgers put the sports world on notice this season with what has been a remarkable recovery from his Achilles injury, one that usually takes nine months to a year to fully recover. Word on the street was that he was expecting to retake the field, but after the Jets were booted from playoff contention, along with shoddy offensive line play which would have placed him at further risk of injury, he wisely bowed out. I think that was always his decision, but the NFL is also a business, and Jets fans needed something to cling to after another disastrous season.

Last Note: If I were a Jets fan, I'd take that hope of Rodgers coming back to play after this nightmare play on Black Friday. It summed up the season:

As some of the thread is about Aaron Rogers, I don't see him as a political target.
But the part about whistleblowers caught my attention.

While whistle blowers generally get a pass, airing dirty laundry of the government, or secrets is highly frowned upon.

We only know the parts Snowden or Chelsea shared but perhaps in the next file were codes about operatives, or missiles or other shit...Jimmy Hoffa ,aliens etc ..

The government makes you sign NDAs to ensure those secrets remain secret.

Joey B will not likely pardon these ppl out of precedent if nothing else.

What good would it do if he did??

Ok, I am ageing out of currency in pop culture. I "got" the "Lets Go Brandon" slogan of a few years ago, but I am clueless on this new "Weekend At Bernie's" thing.

Will someone please gently school me on this?

Funny how the staunchest of MAGAs preemptively accuse Biden of the same behavior they try to excuse in Trump.

Flailing in the mist, fellas.

Aaron Rogers is welcome to his opinon on any subject. Many "stars" have expressed their opinions on both Biden and Trump. George Clooney has called Trump a "xenophobic facist". I don't listen to any of them.

It was a campy movie in the 80's and even had a sequel or two. Like most 80's movies, it's aged not so well, but the movie was funny and I like the analogy.

Aaron Rodgers, who cares what he says. All due respect but he played for the Jets.

Actually, I don't think he played more than a couple of snaps. Less durable than an 81-year-old man for sure.

eyecu2: Thanks for that straightforward explanation. I had no ides, but now I do "get" the post.

The 1980s were a tough decade for me. The oil business had collapsed word wide and I spent a huge amount of effort scrambling to keep my family out of homeless poverty . . .was under-employed, went back to school and changed corers (starting at the bottom) and so on. Popular movies wre just not partt of my life back then I guess.

Agsin: Thanks for that plain language explanation.

Athletes are just entertainment to me. As much as I appreciate their greatness at their profession, I don't care to hear opinions from Aaron Rodgers, LeBron James or any other entertainer about anything other than their craft.

3 snaps.
