On Tuesday, Rodgers, in his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, suggested that Kimmel was an associate of Epstein who is on his infamous list — prompting Kimmel to threaten to sue the New York Jets QB (https://twitter.com/jimmykimmel/status/1742324477323833546). While ESPN has declined comment (https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/01/03/espn-declines-comment-jimmy-kimmel-threatens-aaron-rodgers-legal-action-pat-mcafee-show-epstein), McAfee apologized today. Both McAfee and Kimmel work for Disney. "Whenever you’re free wheelin’ and dealin,’ in conversations, they can certainly lead to some conversations that cause international news and things like that. And whenever there’s accusations made about people, that can lead to lawsuits,” McAfee said. “Some things obviously people get very pissed off about, especially when they’re that serious allegations. So we apologize for being a part of it. I Can’t wait to hear what Aaron has to say about it. Hopefully those two will just be able to settle this, you know, not work-wise, but be able to chit-chat and move along.” ALSO: Kimmel’s legal threat raises the possibility of internecine warfare inside Disney — and a feud between two of its highest-paid talents (https://frontofficesports.com/feud-between-aaron-rodgers-and-jimmy-kimmel-puts-disney-espn-in-a-bind).

New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey met with Rodgers after the season and told him that he not only would need to participate in all offseason team activities, but also stop going on The Pat McAfee Show, according to ESPN's NFL insider Dianna Russini. On Sunday, news broke that the Jets were moving on from Rodgers (https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/glazer-jets-are-moving-on-from-aaron-rodgers) after two seasons. Rodgers' weekly Tuesday appearances during the NFL season would sometimes draw controversy, like the time he accused Jimmy Kimmel of being linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
