ESPN’s Dan Graziano unloads on ‘narcissistic con artist’ Aaron Rodgers

ESPN NFL reporter Dan Graziano had some harsh words for Aaron Rodgers.

In the wake of Rodgers’ feud with ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, Graziano appeared on ESPN Radio’s morning show “Unsportsmanlike” and berated Rodgers.

“I think Aaron’s sort of living down to his reputation in a lot of ways as an attention-hungry, self-absorbed individual,” Graziano said.

“You hear a lot of things about how he’s been in the Jets’ building since he got there, and they’re positive. You know, con artists can be very convincing. I think if he’s got the Jets fooled about who he is, then that’s too bad and eventually they’ll pay the price for it.

“He’s obviously a liar and a narcissistic con artist who is bad for everything he touches, and I think ultimately the Jets will pay the price.”

Despite the public perception of Rodgers and him only playing four snaps before tearing his Achilles in the team’s season opener against the Bills, the quarterback was voted most inspirational teammate by the Jets this year.

Speaking to Pat McAfee earlier this week, Rodgers indicated that he can live with outside voices leveling the type of criticism that Graziano did at him.

“There’s a lot of people who have been captured by various government entities, whether we’re talking about the pharmaceutical industrial complex, or whether we’re talking about believing that the government has the best interests of mind and we’re puppeting various narratives,” Rodgers said.

“In the end, if you’re not someone whose opinion aligns with the mainstream narrative, this is what they’re going to do with you.

“It’s not me. I’m not a victim. I don’t give a s–t. Say whatever the hell you want about me, that’s fine. Like, the people that know me and love me, you know what I’m all about. My teammates know what I’m all about.”
