Amidst the highly anticipated departure of Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers, the quarterback has recently made headlines for calling out certain reporters during his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. In particular, Rodgers singled out Adam Schefter and Dianna Russini for their claims that he gave the New York Jets a list of players he wants them to acquire. However, Rodgers flat-out denied this notion and deemed it "ridiculous."
During the interview, Rodgers also revealed that he had told Schefter to "lose my number," a comment that the ESPN reporter confirmed in a tweet shortly after.
But Schefter was not the only reporter to receive criticism from the four-time MVP. Ian Rapoport also faced backlash from Rodgers for reporting fake news just over a month ago. Despite this, Rapoport has responded to Rodgers' comments with professionalism and has continued to report on the situation with the utmost accuracy.
As the sports world waits for the official announcement of Rodgers' new team, the controversy surrounding his departure from the Packers and the reporters covering the story continues to captivate fans and media outlets alike.
