Pat McAfee Apologizes for Involvement in Aaron Rodgers-Jimmy Kimmel Beef [Video]

Aaron Rodgers has been making headlines for his reckless behavior this season despite being unable to play due to his injury.

Recently, he made an appearance on ESPN’s Pat McAfee’s daily show, which has been known for putting him in hot water in the past. During the show, Rodgers made a controversial statement accusing ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel of being linked to Jeffery Epstein.

Wednesday, McAfee apologized to Kimmel for his involvement in the feud between the quarterback and the late-night talk show host.

“Whenever you free wheeling and dealing in here, you know and you’re having conversations they can certainly lead to some places that could cause international news and things like that. Whenever accusations are made about people they’ll throw you the lawsuit. Have been in one before with Brett Farve,” McAfee said.

This soliloquy was made to apologize to Jimmy, keep Aaron happy, and keep the ESPN executives off of his back.

“There’s no formal outline of what we’re going to talk about, how we’re going to talk about it. There’s no A-block, B-block, C-block, there’s no scheduled conversation,” Pat continued. “There is damn near an opportunity to talk about anything for three hours and in doing so the upside of that is some magic can come from that you never thought would come, good times can be had. And on the flip side, there can be some things that were certainly, probably I mean we’re going to have to hear from Aaron [Rodgers] on that, meant to be a sh*t talk, joke that can then become something that is obviously a very serious allegation. Which then leads to a massive overnight story. But I can see exactly why Jimmy Kimmel felt the way he felt especially with his position. But I feel like Aaron was just trying to talk sh*t. Did It go too far? Jimmy Kimmel certainly thinks that’s the case.”

Pat finished up his statement with an apology for being involved in igniting gas onto a fire that has become an ongoing battle between Kimmel and Rodgers.

“We like our show to be a fun one an uplifting one, a happy one, a fun one. But it’s because we talk sh*t and try to make light of everything, some things obviously will get very pissed off about, especially when it’s serious allegations. So we apologize for being a part of it, can’t wait to hear what Aaron has to say about it. Hopefully, those two will be able to settle this,” Pat finished off his statement.
