We’re living through what is arguably Howard Stern’s greatest era. He’s the unapologetically liberal talk show host who says hard truths about the pandemic, unvaccinated morons and how those morons should show some consistency. A few months ago, he went off on unvaccinated people clogging up the hospitals and said flat-out that if you don’t “believe in science” enough to get a vaccine, you shouldn’t get a hospital bed. Modern medicine isn’t something you can pick and choose. On Monday’s episode, Stern laid into Aaron “QAaron” Rodgers for his lies about being “immunized” and Rodgers’ completely insane interview on Friday.
Stern says Rodgers should be thrown out of the NFL: Stern said he was “so worked up” over this situation before laying into “this f—ing guy.” While Stern suggested the NFL puts up with “his bulls–t” because he’s a “real good football player,” he argued: “If there was decency in this world, you know, I would throw this guy out of the football league so fast. What he did to his fellow teammates … this f*cking guy, they should throw him out of the league so fast.”
No time for idiots: “We have no time for idiots in this country anymore. We don’t want you. We want you to all, either go to the hospital — stay home — die there with your Covid. Don’t take the cure, but don’t clog up our hospitals with your Covid when you finally get it. Stay home, don’t bother with science, it’s too late. Go f–k yourself, we just don’t have time for you.”
On Rodgers’ claim he consulted Joe Rogan: “You’ve got doctors who study in medical school. I don’t know what has happened to this country.” Stern also suggested that the “next time this f— head gets injured on the field, they should bring in Joe Rogan to fix the bones.”
Stern is right. He’s been right about everything in and around the pandemic. The NFL should throw Rodgers out of the league, but they won’t do that, for several reasons. First of all, it’s abundantly clear that Rodgers is not alone with his anti-vaxx dipsh-t conspiracies. My guess is that there are a large number of football players who simply refuse to get vaccinated and the NFL is too chickensh-t to mandate it. Second of all, the NFL is probably terrified that if they cut Rodgers loose, he’ll become some kind of MAGA folk hero or something. Plus, it’s not like he’s Black or anything! It’s not like he protested cops murdering people of color. The NFL is just going to shrug and do nothing about the Rodgers situation. Now, I would guess that the Packers Org will give him a slap on the wrist. But that’s all.

I agree with Stern.
The NFL has soooo many giant issues including domestic violence from their players, lack of safety protocols, racism — they do not care about vaccination. Maybe they care a little if there’s a public outcry but not if it won’t affect their bottom line.
Agreed that vaccination status is the least of it when it comes to the NFL. It’s also not as simple to just mandate vaccinations when you are under a collective bargaining agreement.
So glad he was not tapped for fill time Jeopardy!
^This! He actually grew on us and would have liked him as a fill in but not perm. host.
Never would have thought that I would be agreeing with Stern, but yeah. 100%
💯
Aaron ticks all the idiot boxes from repeating alt-right buzzwords like cancel culture and woke mobs to the consulting Joe Rogan for medical advice. Also, if someone you’re dating or your s/o listens to Joe Rogan that is a giant red flag. Get out!
I wish he would have stuck with mma and fear factor.
My partner listens to Joe Rogan. It’s the only podcast he listens to and he takes his word as gospel (except on vaccines – we’re both pro-vax). It’s changed him, and not for the better. He frequently uses the term ‘woke’ in regards to standing up for minorities. He has become a little misogynistic (when I told him that I’ve been groped in mosh pits, his response was “but what were you wearing?” 🤬🤬🤬. He thinks racial micro-agressions are funny. He just doesn’t question a freaking word that Rogan says. He insinuated that homeless people with cell phones can’t be that poor if they can afford a cell phone. When I asked him where he heard such BS, it was our 7 year old who piped up and said “probably Joe Rogan”. He stans Joe so hard that it could potentially be a deal breaker if he continues to randomly spew bigoted comments like he has been recently.
Howard is correct. I’m glad he said what he said.
“Modern medicine isn’t something you can pick and choose.“
THIS. ALL DAY LONG.
My mom died waiting for a hospital bed. The hospitals in our area were clogged with anti vax ding dongs. They can all go to hell.
I am so sorry for your loss, Joy. May her memory be for a blessing.
Oh Joy, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that I am thinking of you and yours. I share your anger as well.
Aaron “I wanted to retire” Rodgers should retire NOW.
Who the hell ever gave this guy credit for being intelligent? His parsing of words doesn’t make him smarter than anyone else in the room, it makes him a calculated liar. His histrionics are well documented, yet all of the women in his past have been blamed for his atrocious behavior. He is not a victim, he is a perpetrator of continual deception.
I used to love football, but the NFL excuses assault and rape, yet penalizes those who stand for social justice. The Nothing but F’ing Losers is what they are now, and Rodgers is their King.
100000% ! I cannot stand the NFL. The entire league just rubs me the wrong way.
The NFL has protocols for the unvaccinated. They have to wear masks when on the side lines and anywhere in the football stadium, pressers are done via Zoom and they can’t congregate in groups of more than 3 people. The NFL has made allowances for the anti vaxxers. The difference here is that Rodgers lied about his status. But the NFL won’t kick him out because they knew he was trying to get around the vaccine protocols and they only released info regarding his status after he tested positive. The NFL knew he was unvaccinated.
Aaron is a total disgrace and needs to suffer the consequences for his actions. Howard continues to be awesome.
This is where cancel culture could help. Not just cancelling Aaron Rodgers but cancelling the NFL. If everyone just voted with their feet (aka stopped watching NFL games) and wallets (aka stopped buying tickets to NFL games and buying merch), then the NFL would do something. Our shock and disgust aren’t enough to spur action. They need to feel the pain in their bottom line.
