Stephen A. Smith sticks up for Pat McAfee in Aaron Rodgers-Jimmy Kimmel feud
Stephen A. Smith doesn’t believe Pat McAfee had anything to apologize for.
McAfee apologized to Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday after Aaron Rodgers speculated Tuesday on McAfee’s show that Kimmel would be on the list of Jeffrey Epstein associates that has been trickling out.
Speaking on his eponymous podcast, Smith absolved McAfee of responsibility for the dustup.
I can applaud Pat McAfee for apologizing, but let me be the first to say, he didnt need to, Smith said, as covered by Awful Announcing. He didnt do anything wrong. Its his show, the show is live, he didnt know what Aaron Rodgers was going to say.
It was McAfee’s co-host and Rodgers’ former Packers teammate A.J. Hawk who brought up the Epstein list Tuesday, as Rodgers was speaking tongue-in-cheek about how the official Super Bowl logo foretells a potential Ravens-Niners matchup next month.

On his podcast, Smith was of the belief that Rodgers was joking — but he still owed Kimmel an apology.
I do feel like Pat McAfee hit the nail on the head when he said Aaron Rodgers was just taking a dig at him Kimmel, he was just joking around, he wasnt necessarily serious about such a thing, Smith said. But let me say this to Aaron Rodgers Jeffrey Epstein aint nothing to joke about. I love Aaron Rodgers, everybody knows hes a bad man, you know me. But Aaron Rodgers should just apologize. Plain and simple. Just un-complicate the situation. Even if you dont like Jimmy Kimmel, say that too!

Rodgers and Kimmel have been beefing back and forth since 2021 when Kimmel slammed Rodgers for saying he was “immunized” against COVID-19 before it was later revealed that Rodgers was unvaccinated.

Kimmel also slammed Rodgers earlier this year as a “tin foil hatter” for wryly wondering if U.S. government UFO disclosures were intended as a distraction from the impending release of the Epstein files.
