ESPN’s NFL insider Dan Graziano had harsh words for Aaron Rodgers, labeling the Jets quarterback a “narcissistic con man” amid his feud with Jimmy Kimmel.
Rodgers and Kimmel have become embroiled in a war of words after the four-time NFL MVP linked the TV host to Jeffrey Epstein’s papers and claimed on Pat McAfee’s ESPN show: ‘There are a lot of people, too Jimmy Kimmelwho hope that that list will not come true.’
On Wednesday morning, Graziano appeared on ESPN’s radio show “Unsportsmanlike” and lambasted the 40-year-old over his latest controversy.
“I think in many ways Aaron lives up to his reputation as an attention-hungry, self-centered individual,” Graziano said.
“You hear a lot about how he’s been in the Jets building since he got there, and they’re positive.

‘You know, scammers can be very convincing. I think if he fools the Jets about who he is, that’s too bad and they’ll pay the price in the end. ‘
Graziano continued to suggest that Rodgers has developed a fake personality and that the team around him will ultimately suffer the consequences.
“He is clearly a liar and a narcissistic con man who is bad for everything he touches,” he reiterated. “I think the Jets will pay the price in the end.”
McAfee announced Wednesday that Rodgers will not appear on his show for the remaining weeks of the NFL season.
Several sports media personalities have also addressed the topic, including NBA legend Charles Barkley, who said he would “punch Rodgers in the face” if the quarterback made the same comments about him.

In what turned out to be his final appearance on The Pat McAfee Show this season, Rodgers denied ever suggesting Kimmel was on the Epstein list.
“I completely understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia would be … so if he was upset about that, I understand,” Rodgers said.
“I’m not stupid enough, even though you think I’m an idiot, and you’ve made a lot of comments about my intelligence, but I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence, concrete evidence. That is ridiculous.’
Rodgers continued, “I’d like to put this to bed moving forward.”
