Aaron Rodgers vs. Jimmy Kimmel Sets Internet on Fire Over Feud

2024 is off to a wild start as ABC's Jimmy Kimmel has threatened legal action on New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers over comments he made linking the late night host to the client list of deceased sex offender Jeffery Epstein.

Rodgers who has not played since week 1 this year after tearing his Achilles Tendon, made his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee show and dropped the  nugget that melted down the Internet.

The comments came as Rodgers was bantering back and forth with McAfee and ex-Packers teammate Clay Matthews over conspiracy theories, namely the Super Bowl logo, which in recent years has displayed the colors of the actual teams that would get to the Big Game.

"This got something to do with the Epstein list?" Matthews asked.

"Hey that's supposed to be coming out soon. There are lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel who are really  hoping that doesn't come out..." Rodgers said before McAfee jumped in.

Kimmel responded on X calling Rodgers a "soft-brained wacko," adding that the quarterback's comments put his family in "danger."

According to the New York Post, Kimmel and Rodgers have had a beef against one another since 2021 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when Kimmel criticized the quarterback over testing positive for COVID, and his vaccination status.  Since that time the two have routinely harpooned the other.

On Wednesday, McAfee tried to put a tarp on the firestorm by saying he understood where Kimmel was coming from, but believed Rodgers was only joking.

ESPN and ABC has declined to comment on the situation.

The Jets season ends on Sunday in New England. Rodgers, even though he is on the active roster will not play.  Kimmel hosts the Oscars March 10 for the second consecutive year.
