Following their 32-25 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the New York Jets ended a streak of four straight losses. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers delivered an impressive performance, amassing 289 passing yards, throwing three touchdowns, and committing no turnovers.

Ryan Clark, an ESPN NFL analyst and former player, reacted to Rodgers’ remarks during a segment on “First Take” last Friday. Clark labeled Rodgers as “a fraud,” “tone-deaf,” and “unaware,” suggesting that Rodgers is guilty of the same behavior he critiques—getting paid to make “asinine” statements.

Here’s what Rodgers had to say about Clark’s responses on Tuesday.

Aaron Rodgers Addresses Ryan Clark’s Comments

During his hour-long appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers tackled various subjects, including drone technology in New York, the Jets’ recent game, the ongoing search for a general manager, the NFL MVP race, the NFC division standings, his Netflix documentary, and the College Football Playoff.

As McAfee started to announce Rodgers at the conclusion of the segment, Rodgers interrupted him.

“I’m not finished,” he stated, to which McAfee reacted with surprise.

Rodgers proceeded to deliver what he referred to as “a quick PSA reminder” for the show.

“Feel free to say anything about me, I don’t mind. But before you do, please state your name, your credentials, your pronouns, and more importantly, your [vaccination] status, so everyone can frame your remarks correctly,” Rodgers expressed. “Just get it out there.”

While he didn’t specifically name anyone from ESPN, he reiterated his focus on vaccination status.

“When you discuss me, at least it allows people to understand that you’re caught up in the multimillion-dollar propaganda machine and are still upset about it,” he added. “Just so everyone is aware of where you stand, everybody can say, ‘Oh, you’re fully [vaccinated with] Moderna and had three booster shots,’ and then express your opinions freely.”

McAfee and co-host A.J. Hawk remarked that this could improve the situation at the network, likely referring to comments made by Clark and others in the media.

Rodgers continued, “I honestly don’t care. I’m just suggesting a PSA to assist everyone wondering about the source of these comments, including myself. Just do a bit of research, and then you’ll understand the background. You’re caught up in the vaccine narrative and feel free to say whatever you want about me because, quite frankly, I don’t care.”

He concluded by asking media professionals to display their vaccination status in their biographies on air, rather than focusing solely on their achievements because, in his view, it was heavily emphasized during the COVID years.

Rodgers also made a singular mention of Clark, saying, “You don’t just need a pin with your initials.” This was a reference to Clark wearing a gold lapel pin during his “First Take” criticism of Rodgers’ views on media.

“Add your [vaccination] status as well,” he insisted.

A moment later, Rodgers remarked that his observations on sports media seemingly “hit a nerve.”

“My main point is that most of you will not be remembered for your career,” he said. “In five or ten years, you probably won’t even remember mine either. When the time comes that people forget about my career, I won’t need to chase relevance on TV. All I’m saying is to maintain humility when discussing others.”
