Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a favorite to win his fourth NFL MVP, Wednesday blasted an MVP voter who said he wouldn’t vote for Rodgers because he’s “a bad guy” and “the biggest jerk in the league.”

Hub Arkush, editor of ‘Pro Football Weekly,’ cited Rodgers’ off-field behavior for his stance, in part his decision not to get vaccinated. Rodgers said Wednesday, “I think he’s an absolute bum. He doesn’t know me.”

Arkush has since said he regrets saying what he did.

 

Brown Addressed Walking Off Sidelines

Antonio Brown Wednesday addressed walking off the sideline shirtless during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ game against the New York Jets Sunday, charging he was forced to play on an injured ankle, and that head coach Bruce Arians fired him when the wide receiver told him he wasn’t able to re-enter the game because of his ankle.

Brown also said an MRI Monday showed broken bone fragments, a ligament tear and cartilage loss in his ankle. Arians told reporters Monday Brown didn’t claim he was injured when he refused to go back in the game. Brown contended he told Arians he couldn’t go in because of his ankle, stating, “[H]e shouted at me, ‘You're done!’ while he ran his finger across his throat.”
