ESPN PUNTS RODGERS OVER KIMMEL FEUD!

Late-night host whined to ABC aout jock’s cheap shots

LAME quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked from ESPN's slumping Pat McAfee Show after using the sports gabfest as a launchpad for vicious attacks against his hated nemesis, ABC's late-night host Jimmy Kimmel! Sources say the sports network decided to ditch the gridiron motormouth from the weekly gig after Jimmy complained to top execs at his network ESPN's parent company - about Rodgers' bizarre comments linking him to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision, according to sources, was a no brainer because Rodgers - who ruptured his Achilles tendon just four plays into his heralded debut season with the New York Jets - had a $1 million price tag and the show still bombed as badly as the jock's team! "Rodgers is a lightning rod for controversy and recently had nothing positive to show for it on or off the field!" snipes an insider.
