3 dumbest conspiracy theories Aaron Rodgers could reveal during Hard Knocks
By Kristen Wong
The NY Jets are being forced to participate in this year’s Hard Knocks series. Here are three wild conspiracy theories Aaron Rodgers could quietly whisper to the cameraman.
A new season of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” is upon us, and it was recently announced that the New York Jets will be the team involuntarily participating. You mean, teams don’t want to open their doors and locker rooms to let hordes of cameramen videotape their every move? Shocker.
This year’s “Hard Knocks” series ought to play out in a more bemusing manner. Gone are the larger-than-life idiosyncrasies of Rex Ryan; in his place stands the stoic Robert Saleh and, of course, the incomparable Aaron Rodgers.
On a 2010 episode of “Hard Knocks”, if an apple fell from a tree, Ryan might have said something like, “Let’s eat this d— snack.” In 2023, if the same thing happened, Rodgers might pick it up, look up at the sky, and wave his fist saying “Those d— UFOs.”
So yes, it should be interesting, to say the least.
What are the wildest conspiracy theories Rodgers may not-so-accidentally blab about on this year’s “Hard Knocks”? Here are three for your contemplation.
Hard Knocks, Aaron Rodgers Edition: UFOs are government-manufactured entities meant to distract the public
Let’s just dive right into UFOs, shall we?
The New York Jets quarterback and proud “free thinker” shared his polarizing thoughts on potential alien life as recently as February of this year. Rodgers was talking to buddy Pat McAfee about the controversy surrounding a Chinese spy balloon allegedly floating in North American airspace along with other unidentified objects that have been shot down by the U.S.
Rodgers smacked his lips and said it was “interesting timing” since there were “a lot of other things going on in the world” at the time of these sightings. He then brought up the Jeffrey Epstein client list that would be released that same month. Coincidence? Rodgers thinks not.
In line with right-wing ideology, Rodgers insinuated that the U.S. government may be artificially creating these UFO sightings as a way to distract the public from real-world issues, a bit of a sci-fi red herring, if you will.
Guessing the veteran quarterback isn’t a huge fan of “E.T.” No phoning home for Rodgers this season, he’s left Wisconsin in the dust.
