Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers came out swinging at NFL insider Dianna Russini, saying she was involved in a tampering scandal related to Mike Vrabel during an ESPN appearance with Pat McAfee. Rodgers unloaded on ESPN for a blanket refusal to address the story, flatly telling McAfee that "nobody can fucking talk about it" on Monday.
The explosive on-air remarks landed during the same week Rodgers brought up Anthony Fauci while pondering Senate hearing question. Rodgers has publicly clashed with Fauci on a number of occasions. The latest on-air rant fits neatly into Rodgers' habit of railing against the media and federal health officials.
