Watch ESPN’s Dan Graziano Outright Call Aaron Rodgers A “Con Artist”

-

Chicago Bears fans have long had plenty of reasons to hate Aaron Rodgers. He tortured them for 15 seasons as quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. The guy never minded rubbing salt in the wounds along the way with his various comments. However, hate for him in recent years has shifted from his on-the-field exploits to his off-the-field ramblings. The quarterback continues to make it clear with each passing appearance that he is an arrogant, ignorant, and unpleasant human being.

He spouts random conspiracy theories, speaks out against vaccines, and accuses people of being pedophiles. His rant against talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was the latest example. The fact he spouts how the media is trying to silence him while saying all of this on a national platform makes it all the more hypocritical. Plenty of people in the media have had enough. Kimmel fired back in grand fashion on his show recently. However, the bigger surprise came from Dan Graziano. The ESPN insider isn’t usually known for speaking unfiltered.

That changed on Unsportsmanlike Radio when the subject of Rodgers came up.

Criticizing Aaron Rodgers is one thing.

To openly call him a con artist is legendary. Graziano hit the nail on the head. Rodgers has long managed to keep his reputation intact because of his otherworldly skills on the football field. However, it’s become evident over time that the guy is out in the woods. He is basically Julian Assange but can throw an amazing spiral. Rodgers thinks every word that comes out of his mouth is gospel. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the guy moves out west to form a cult after his playing career is finally over.

It seems the media is finally catching on to his crap. ESPN will no longer feature his guest appearances on the Pat McAfee Show. Aaron Rodgers will have to go somewhere else to spout his nonsense. That probably won’t do his ravenous ego any good. His star is fading fast. Football won’t be his platform for much longer. The next generation is overtaking him. It honestly couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
