Arr, me hearties! Arron Rodgers, the cap'n of the New York Jets, be none too pleased with the scurrilous tales flyin' 'round. Shipmates claim he never truly suffered from a torn Achilles! Avast, ye scallywags! The lad be havin' none o' it!
Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers quarterback, revealed during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he was unable to wear his chosen Halloween costume, a spike protein. McAfee and his cohost A.J. Hawk tried to guess Rodgers' costume, suggesting he dressed up as Dr. Anthony Fauci, a vaccine, a doctor, or a scientist, which elicited laughter from Rodgers. However, as soon as he mentioned being a "spike protein," ESPN's cable feed mysteriously cut out for 12 minutes.A week later, Rodgers returned to the show and discussed a conspiracy theory that suggests he never tore his Achilles tendon. Rodgers sustained the injury just four snaps into his New York Jets tenure but has consistently expressed his desire to return to play this season. Some have speculated that he never actually suffered the tear. Rodgers expressed his disdain for this theory and took a jab at ESPN for the coincidental blackout during his COVID talk.
Rodgers insinuated that if he were to delve into his thoughts on the matter, ESPN would likely try to cut off the broadcast. He mocked the same people who entertain the possibility of a conspiracy regarding his Achilles but refuse to acknowledge any issues with the experimental gene therapy associated with the COVID vaccine. Rodgers adamantly stated that he did rupture his Achilles and had it fixed by the best doctor. He has been focused on rehabilitating and returning to the field since September 13.
The New York Jets could certainly benefit from Rodgers' presence, as their offense has been struggling to score touchdowns. Reportedly, Rodgers aims to make his comeback in mid-December.
