Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers came out swinging at NFL insider Dianna Russini, linking her to a tampering scandal related to Mike Vrabel during an ESPN appearance with Pat McAfee. Rodgers blasted ESPN for a blanket refusal to address the story, bluntly stating McAfee that "nobody can fucking talk about it" on Monday.
The heated comments landed during the same week Rodgers brought up Anthony Fauci while answering a Senate hearing question. Rodgers has publicly clashed with Fauci on a number of occasions. The latest on-air rant fits neatly into Rodgers' consistent pattern of laying into the media and federal health officials.
