Aaron Rodgers To Adam Schefter: “Lose My Number”
If we learned anything from the Aaron Rodgers interview with Pat McAfee (other than the fact that we now know for sure he wants to play for the Jets) it’s that he REALLY hates Adam Schefter.
“Ask Schefter what I texted him when he somehow got my number,” Rodgers said on “The Pat McAfee Show,” when asked if the wish list rumors were true. “Lose my number. Nice try.”
Schefter later even shared the screenshot of Rodgers telling him that.
I can’t say I blame Rodgers. It’s pretty easy to dislike Schefter. I always say Schefter is a good reporter with bad morals. Ian Rapoport is a bad reporter with good morals. Both suck in their own unique way. We all shouldn’t forget about the Dwayne Haskins moment with Schefter.
Rodgers continued as was pretty adamant that Schefter was dancing around the truth. Let’s just say there is a reason why Rodgers is willing to speak to McAfee and wants nothing to do with the piss poor crew ESPN assembles.
“I didn’t even respond to Dianna Russini, I think [that’s what] her name is,” Rodgers said, adding he’d tell her the same thing he told Schefter.
“I’m sure there are people who have their sources. But from what I’ve seen, it’s like I had a sheet of paper when I met with the Jets and I said, sign these people.’ That’s not the reality, it’s so ridiculous. It’s so stupid to think I would do that, number 1,” Rodgers said.
“Now, did they ask me about certain guys I played with over the years? Of course. Did I talk glowingly about teammates that I love? Yeah, why wouldn’t you? Do I love those guys on the list? Of course. Did I make demands about certain people? People want these things to be so true.”
