Aaron Rodgers’s anticipated appearance on ESPN’s ManningCast generated plenty of buzz entering Monday night. So much buzz, in fact, that it apparently carried over in an unexpected way during the broadcast.
After initially going off without a hitch, the injured Jets quarterback’s guest spot alongside Peyton and Eli Manning for the 49ers-Vikings game on Monday Night Football took a turn when Rodgers’s audio suddenly began to distort.
From there, Rodgers’s voice awkwardly grew more and more robotic as he laughed at a Peyton joke and attempted to respond in kind. Instead of entertaining, however, the four-time MVP would end up driving millions of football fans crazy due to technical issues and the incessant buzzing that followed.
