Pat McAfee burns Aaron Rodgers to his face with Joe Rogan joke

Looks like Indianapolis Colts punting legend Pat McAfee discovered the kind of little jab that Aaron Rodgers actually likes.

Rodgers’ appearance on McAfee’s show last week drew plenty of ire. After all, it’s one thing to choose not to get vaccinated, though … we have our issues with that decision as well.

It’s another thing to snidely deceive the public and flaunt protocols at public press conferences, only to later hit the airwaves after your diagnosis and brag about the expertise of everyone other than doctors.

McAfee gave his friend a platform to explain himself, and it did not go well. Instead of clearing things up, Rodgers simply packed more misinformation into a 20-minute span, launching into unchecked “whataboutism” as he aligned himself with … well, mostly Joe Rogan, who is a podcaster without a medical degree.

We understand that Pat the Punter and Rodgers are close friends, and the host didn’t want to jeopardize their relationship, but still, there was very little — if any — pushback.

The second time, on Tuesday? Not so much. Rodgers hit McAfee’s airwaves yet again to … well, actually apologize a little bit for appearing so flustered and frustrated the last time. He even took a joke, though maybe not by choice.

Credit, too, to AJ Hawk, who’s had to sit through two of these conversations in less than a week, barely participating. Harrowing stuff.

Of course, no fans should expect McAfee to be Walter Cronkite and hold Rodgers’ feet to the fire. It was at least nice to see on Tuesday, though, that the QB could still take a joke after being so openly defensive last week, and the punter could still feel comfortable dishing it after the backlash he got from the original softball chat.

Rodgers shrugged off the light attack, but didn’t … exactly instill much confidence that he’d spoken to experts on the matter, other than a smattering of friends who dealt with the aftereffects of the disease.

We can’t change the past. Rodgers’ uncomfortable, one-sided exchange with McAfee still happened last week.

This lighthearted moment was a pretty big step towards all of us moving forward, though.
