Aaron Rodgers issues lame jab at Travis Kelce

A man paid by a Johnson & Johnson heir is bothered by another man repping Pfizer.

That's the only takeaway from Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers' incredibly lame jab at Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce during his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."

"Our defense played really well and Mr. Pfizer didn't have a crazy impact on the game," said Rodgers. 

Kelce appeared in an ad this fall promoting Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. He led Kansas City with six receptions for 60 yards on Sunday night.

Rodgers should consider who signs his checks before making fun of Kelce for making a helpful public service announcement on COVID-19 vaccinations.

Woody Johnson, the Jets owner, is an heir to Johnson & Johnson, the pharmaceutical giant that developed its own COVID-19 vaccine, along with Pfizer and Moderna. However, it is no longer being used as of May 7, 2023.

People quickly called Rodgers out for his poor attempt at making fun of Kelce, highlighting the double standard.

In 2021, Rodgers came under fire after intentionally misleading the public about his vaccination status, telling them he was "immunized" when he was not.

Most people have moved on from that controversy, but for whatever reason, Rodgers hasn't. In trying to make fun of Kelce, Rodgers is the only fool.
