New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers apparently joked that he was ready to celebrate the release of the list of Jeffrey Epstein's associates.
A list of disgraced financier Epstein's associates from court files will be made public in the first few days of 2024, and Rodgers claimed that late host Jimmy Kimmel could be one of the names on the list.
During his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers began by offering a conspiracy theory about the colors of the NFL's Super Bowl decals, predicting which teams will play the big game that season.
The panel was left somewhat confused by the 40-year-old's long-winded explanation, and co-host AJ Hawk interrupted to jokingly ask if it was about the Epstein list.
“There are a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are hoping that list doesn't come true,” the quarterback replied.

McAfee then joked that Rodgers had been “waiting in his wine cellar” for the release of the court documents.
“I'll tell you what, if that list comes out, I'll definitely crack open a bottle,” Rodgers added.
The Super Bowl winner's joke comes after Kimmel previously mocked Rodgers for discussing the Epstein list.
During an episode of his eponymous late-night show last March, Kimmel took aim at Rodgers for his comments about Epstein and UFOs.
During a February appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers had shared some of his thoughts on the topics and Kimmel played the clip again during his monologue.
“I believe this has been going on for a long time. Interesting timing for everything. There are a lot of other things going on in the world,” Rodgers said.
The show then jumped to a segment where Rodgers said, “Have you heard about the Epstein client list that's about to be released?”
“There are some files with some names that may be released soon.”
Kimmel then said, “It might be time to revisit that concussion protocol, Aaron,” after calling him a “tinfoil hatter” earlier in the segment.
Rodgers' then-Green Bay Packers teammate David Bakhtiari hit back at Kimmel on social media.

“Tell me you're on Jeffrey Epstein's client list without telling me you're on Jeffrey Epstein's client list…,” he tweeted.
The pedophile's powerful friends and acquaintances will be exposed as part of a major exposé ordered by a judge just before New Year.
About 177 people will be identified in hundreds of files that will shed new light on the late financier's sex trafficking ring and his influence network.
Judge Loretta Preska wrote “completely unsealed” next to the names of 177 Does who are friends, recruiters, victims and others of Epstein whose names will be revealed when the material is released.
