Pat McAfee might’ve ruffled some feathers with his new bosses at ESPN after Aaron Rodgers reignited his feud with Jimmy Kimmel during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday.
McAfee addressed the situation on his Wednesday show and apologized for the media storm that ensued after Rodgers said he will pop “some sort of bottle” when the soon-to-be-released court documents containing a list linking individuals to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is released and suggested Kimmel will be named.
Kimmel threatened legal action against Rodgers in a response to a post Tuesday that included a video of the four-time MVP saying: “There are a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, that are really hoping that doesn’t come out.”
McAfee explained that he “can understand why Jimmy got completely pissed,” but also said “Aaron was just trying to talk s-t” and joke as the NFL star and ABC talk show host have history.
The outspoken host went on to say that he hopes Rodgers and Kimmel can work things out, and he will wait for the Jets quarterback to speak on the matter.
“There is no formal outline of what we’re going to talk about [and] how we’re going to talk about it,” he said. “There is no scheduled conversations, there is no scheduled debates, there is no topics for you to think about before you get in there.
“There is just an opportunity to talk about damn near everything for three and a half hours and in doing so … good times can be had, laughter can be had … and on the flip side, there can be things that are certainly, probably - we’re going to have to hear from Aaron on that - meant to be s-t talk joke that can then become something that is obviously a very serious allegation that then leads to a massive overnight story.”
McAfee explained that he doesn’t like the fact that he and his show were associated with something negative.
“But I can see exactly why Jimmy Kimmel felt the way he felt, especially with his position, but I think Aaron was just trying to talk s-t,” he said.
“Now do I think it went too far? … Jimmy Kimmel certainly said that was the case.”

This was 100 percent ESPN coming down on him to apologize.
ESPN owned by Disney aka pedophiles. You see how it works? I warned Pat about that bunch.
Yep. McAffe and Kimmel are both Disney employees.
Shows Pat McAfee a puppet for espn.
Well no shit, Sherlock...
All three of them are corporate shills. Anyone who fanboys over any of the three is a brainless sheep.
bruh espn told him to put on a shirt and apologise lmaooo, it's over
I wish Pat would have never joined ESPN. The show isn’t the same.
I agree. I wrote my objection. Disney who owns ESPN are satanic evil bastards.
AGREED!
It actually is mostly the same
It’s still trash.just now more corporate trash 🗑️
I don’t think Pat and the boys will stay with ESPN long term. Seems like they got caught up in the childhood dream and the safety of working for ESPN
Damn ESPN definitely called Pat and told him to issue a Apology😂😂
He knew better. Pat was quick with that apology. Or no more show. 😂
Nah he doesn’t want to get sued. He literally says that here
Imagine if his integrity was as big as his arms.
You call that an apology?
Its definitely ESPN. Pat knows that its all good publicity, still sucks he sold out
Listen.....the apology from McAfee was as limp and mild as they come.
Rogers has exposed himself as an empty conspiracy monger, trying to keep his name in the news
He needs to keep sucking on the Aaron dong to be in his good graces.he’s his boy. Can’t be criticizing your boy. Who knows how much money he made off of Aaron.
I think ESPN should rethink its relationship with McAfee who is doing his best to explain away why he didn't check Rogers after his comment. What's a little defamation between just a couple good old boys talking trash over sports and trying to be witty and clever.
u a whole ass karen. defamation lmao if u knew the context, jimmy kimmel mocked rodgerrs years ago for thinking there was a list. now that the list exists rodgers proved kimmel wrong, which is why he said kimmel will be upset. never said he was on the list.
That didn't sound like an apology.
His overlords at ESPN had a chat with him to go make an apology.
It wasn't even an apology, get real. You don't point out millions of reasons why you're not sorry while barely even remembering to say the phrase.
@@AndrewCox-wl6br
He said the phrase. Could care less what your interpretation about it is.
@@MacStackingWins too bad, you f***ing heard it anyways. You're on a social media network snowflake. Sit and spin 🍆
You misspelled pedo lord's
@@AndrewCox-wl6br go suck your man Arron off son.
The sad fact that so many people care about aaron rodgers opinions on anything just shows those people are only interested in divisive arguments instrad of rational discussions and facts
Hold this L stewpid
Ok Booster
yeah well your "factual" msm practically stalks him for their content so their followers (you) can suck their thumb and cry like a bitch.
@@ewc58your standard nonspecific reply containing pathetic misspelling means one of two things:
1.) Random troll posting it evrrywhere to cause pointless division, will not reply to this
2.) Low IQ moron too stupid to think of an actual point and dumb enough to expose himself as such by replying
Was a fan. (was until now)/ Loved the sleeveslessness (not sure that is word). But apologizing to the woke mob is not a good look. I am out bro. Thought you were better and smarter than this. #punter
There is an opportunity for you when a guest makes a ridiculous comment about someone to shut that down. It’s called slander and A Rod would be the first to lose his shit over someone making slanderous comments about him
u woke libtard why do u care so much. u know rodgers never said kimmel was on the list right>
Kimmel said he had brain damage for wanting a list released that a vast majority of the population wants released lmao what are you even talking about?
Kimmel sucks regardless!!
Pat Macafee, that was weak.
Yes. He should have just left it alone instead of this.
it took 6 minutes (and change) for him to do. i think he should have apologized. he doesn't have to let AR drone on about something that libelous to do an effective show. it doesn't make him an "espn" puppet in my mind. you don't have to like kimmel to know that you can't go there. ask wander franco!
Pat sold his soul to ESPN and this was bound to happen. Now he is owned and can be cancelled.
“Can’t wait to hear what Aaron says about it” - Mc …. Who gives a bleep what 4 snap Aaron says about it? Enjoy retirement you 1 time SB winner…and Mc….stop with giving AR a platform…as weak as platform as it is.
Pat also said packers GM was a dummy for trading away Rodgers and decided to go with Jordan love. And the only reason pay said that is because Rodgers was talking shit about gute. Pat and his mouth getting into shit because of Rodgers lol it's pure entertainment
But that's a little different than someone throwing a name out there for the Epstein thing,
tbf packers gm is still a dummy
Why apologize!?! What did pat do? Did he accuse him? No. “Sorry I let someone put his opinion on a show that we say opinions” “my names Jimmy and I’ll talk major shit on others but I’ll cry if it happens to me.” Liberals man ,so soft.
So rodgers makes a bad joke and everyone throws a tantrum. I'm a fan of Kimmel, but jokes are jokes. He's said things just as bad about people as an obvious joke
Seriously? Don't be an apologist. No respect. bowing down to espn and lowering your standards. Next thing you'll do is stop bringing in Aaron Rogers
Like Pat but backing Farve & Rodgers is a losing game. Must be something in that Green Bay water that creates scumbags.
lol this a group of regular people who have a good sense of humor. The banter starts rollin and Jimmy Kimmel (who is a scumbag) takes some shrapnel. Jimmy knows about the secrets of that island.
Dudes just stop already. Hey don’t give them the platform. There’s so many other social media outlets that deserve your ear
If everyone so butt hurt about this. Google jimmy kimmel karl malone
Maybe leave active investigations alone. This guy has 0 conviction.
Life hack, you do not joke about someone being a p-file on a national broadcast show.
Weak apology, Pat is guilty of giving Rogers a platform to spill his bs
Wahhhh!!!
Cope harder
@@beammeup1930 wahh to your wahh dipshit
Created an account just to say that… sad sad life you have
@@UU78767 ..It's probably Kimmel himself
Pat and Aaron both going downhill, really Rodger’s already there. Jimmy, sue him!
I like how Rodgers drops some superbowl logo color conspiracy and everyone pays attention to the Jimmy comment. the man just told you which 2 teams to bet on for the superbowl.🤑🤑🤑
Disney came down on ESPN
Page 1375. Bye Jimmy
Told ya not to marry ESGN
Really weak apology, Pat is responsible because he gives AHole a platform to spread his bs
Not so fast. Rodgers is correct and wait till that list is released.
So you back pedophiles?
@@rem1762 you should make a video about it
he was on the list clown
Pat is a joke!
Jimmy Kimmel should have Rodgers on his show
Yeah he won’t say all that shot yo his face
@@talosseptim592jimmy Kimmel is a turd... everyone needs to grow a pair.
Jimmy doesn't believe in free speech unless its for him
aaron wouldnt go on pedo show
Spineless
PUNISH PAT!!!! Get him WEARING a SUIT and TIE for a WEEK!! A MONTH!!!!
Age itself does not bestow wisdom,
Neither is it solely older individuals who
possess insight into righteousness. AR should know better.
Who was a fan of this loser anyway, he was a fun king punter, there’s a reason their position doesn’t exist in fantasy, lol. And there are Moe-Rons on here saying he sold out, being bought by Disney will continuous, plus, he pays Rodgers a million bucks a year to do his show. I’m saying this because its going to reach the NY crowd, I’m glad Rodgers got hurt with the Jets-Jinx, and I can’t wait for him to tear his other Achilles in 24, but this time I hope it’s in the playoffs of last game of the season, lol
Rogers gets his money spilling his bull on this show and Pat took very long to get to the point u can tell he was told to apologize by Disney
Anybody else tired of the meathead bros in a studio routine?
Absolutely shouldn’t have nothing to apologize about.
Looks like Mickey came through on the beach cruiser with his house shoes on.
Micky Mouse and his gang showed up at Pat's door... haha
Never mind the weak apology, this dude is insufferable!
Tough former player bending over to the money man… too bad Pat😠 Hopefully Aaron won’t come back because he can’t speak his mind and what he believes is the truth because everything is always one-sided lately!
Kimmel loves kids stop loving them
He wasn’t joking with what he said tho
The fact that Aaron boy can’t wait for a list to come out that is all about underage girls being taken advantage of, just goes to show you the type of person he is and this guy or host on espn to be host to it all!
I think I contracted an extra chromosome trying to read this
He's waiting to see a list of pedophiles so we know who the horrible people are, but to idiots Rodgers is worse then the people on the list
he was right clown so now what
thats the way u interpreted this? He has been saying for years there is a list and obviously wants the people on that list to be punished. u are just forcing the narrative to fit your agenda trynna imply rodgers gets off underage girls being taken advantage of. Thats a reach and a half.
Aaron must not know what a professional comedian is.. something aaron clearly is not and holds grudges against and irresponsible for saying
Aaron Rodgers was the one that said it. Pat just gave him a platform, I’m sure Pat didn’t know where Rodgers may go. He could walk back into his “dark room” high on coyote crap.
Do your homework dude! Everytime Aaron Rodgers is on the show...sh*t get started, the covid comment started on Pat's show. Jimmy should sue both of them. Pat is not an innocent bystander
@@tommy2tall467 I don't understand why Rodgers saying Kimmel wouldn't be happy if the list came out is a 'serious allegation'? A lot of Clinton supporters might not be happy that his name was on the list -- maybe Jimmy is one of those supporters that 'wouldn't be happy' that it came out. So many ways to read into it and none of them result in a successful lawsuit.
Calling someone a pedo is the rightwing version of calling ppl racist.
Except when they do that it is false (ie; a lie). But not the other way round, most times.
McAfee = Coward !! ................. Kimmel "butt-kisser"
Conflict is part of life. To think the opposite is not only naive but, unhealthy.
Thats contradicting. To think opposite is to have conflict 😂
@@joeg1897 When you speak of opposing states within a continuum you speak of symmetrical states that are polar. What concepts did I mention here that are symmetrical and therefore to afirm one and then the other is to fall into a contradiction?
Conflict IS part of the very definition of life, for there is no real steady state in anything; we live in a perennial transition phase. Whether our lives permit us to perceive change is merely to say that we don’t live enough to see it change. Chaos and order (which are conceptually symmetrical), are not opposing but part of existence and it’s maintenance.
@@luisdiego22002 I knew you had Down syndrome.
Aaron Rodgers on the show each week is about 50 weeks too much of Aaron Rogers
Can't wait to hear what Aaron has to say about it? Do you really think ESPN will give Aaron that chance? Sucks that ESPN made McAfee apologize.. its actual BS. At least he made sure to say that Kimmel and Rodgers have been going back and fourth. In other words.... this wasn't unprovoked! And lets face it, it was hilarious!!!! I got a great laugh out of that. And I was not happy with Aarons take on what happened with the Lions Dallas game.
Pat trying to apologize without trying to apologize and it’s fair because stop being sensitive. Whoever really listens to Aaron Rodgers anyways is already a lost cause but asking him to apologize is crazy cause like ESPN do y’all want Aaron Rodgers on your show or not? You gotta let him and people be them then.
ESPN made him apologize and it wasn’t even his fault only thing he did wrong was giving his boi a platform to spread bs
Unfortunately for you Pat, the world of jocks "talking shit" doesn't exist in a vacuum.
There are consequences for things you say and the things you allow to be said on your program.
I'm glad you apologized, but it still came off as a jock kind of "I had reasons" non-apology.
PS: I played 4 years of high school sports and 2 in college.
Pat doesn't have to apologize for anything! This is 'Merica, home of free speech, don't like it - I hear weather in Russia is beautiful this time of year.
Aaron rodgers needs to apologize to Jimmy. This is retaliation when Jimmy K started calling him Covid toe😅
jimmy was on the list clown so apologize for what
@@benjiwilson5646 Have you seen Hunters hog? #THEBIGGUY
On Aaron list clown only! 🤡
kimmel was on the list so why are you saying sorry
Kimmel is NOT on the list and your continuing to spread a lie is why Rogers is going to get sued.
