ESPN star fires back at Aaron Rodgers after Jets QB calls on critics to share ‘vax status’
A day later, Aaron Rodgers said that those who criticize him should do so “indicate (their) vax status”, Former NFL star Ryan Clark launched into a minute-long diatribe denigrating the quarterback.
Clark recently called Rodgers a “fraud.” ESPN according to Rodgers criticized the channel where he appears weekly for “The Pat McAfee Show.”
“Now it’s just talk shows and people whose opinions are so important now and they think they’re the celebrities now. “They are the stars because they can just talk about sports or express their opinions about sports, and a lot of them are unfounded or stupid, as we all know, but that’s the environment we’re in now,” said Rodgers.

That led to Clark calling Rodgers a “hypocrite” last week. And after subtle taunts at each other, Clark posted a video on his
After further discussing why he thought Rodgers was a “hypocrite,” Clark said that Rodgers was the “only” person who had spoken about the vaccine wars.
“Now I know that you were very interested in something else: my vaccination status. And yes, I’m vaccinated because I don’t have a spleen and I don’t have a gallbladder because I played in Denver,” Clark said in the video. “And as for your vaccination status, you can stop giving people the impression that we want to talk about it beyond the stench of your movie. I never heard it again after your incident.”
“And the only reason we talked about it at the time was because your vaccination status should determine how long you stay out. And besides, people didn’t care that you weren’t vaccinated. It was important to them that you were vaccinated.” They didn’t care that you were cheating and that you were so arrogant when you answered the questions about it.

Clark also said he formed his opinion of Rodgers based on conversations he had with Rodgers’ teammates, rather than their vaccination status. The former defender then fired the final shot.
“But let me be very, very clear. My job is to analyze you. They decided to analyze me. And when I analyze you, I know your QBR is 21st.

“Now I understand it. You go on the show and talk about my title. And you swear and all that tough talk. Just know, don’t scare me. That’s what I’m going to do.” My job is the way I’m supposed to do it. I have no way to speak about what the film says because of my career. And if you continue to be arrogant, smug or hypocritical it’s my job, I will do it.
