ESPN exec: Aaron Rodgers made dumb and factually inaccurate joke

The repercussions about Aaron Rodgers “joke” about Jimmy Kimmel on “The Pat McAfee Show” have started from inside the WorldWide Leader.

One of the execs, who is in charge of the show, senior vice president of digital and studio production Mike Foss, spoke to Front Office Sports on Friday and criticized the comment by the New York Jets quarterback that tied the late-night host to the unsealing of Jeffrey Epstein’s court papers.

Foss said he expects Rodgers to continue as a guest on the show in his Tuesday slot.

 “Pat announced today that he’s planning on Aaron joining the show Tuesday. Aaron made a dumb and factually inaccurate joke about Jimmy Kimmel,” Foss tells Front Office Sports on Friday. “The show will continue to evolve. It wouldn’t surprise me if Aaron’s role evolves with it.”
