It looks like football star Aaron Rodgers definitely hit a nerve with his comments toward Jimmy Kimmel.
The NFL legend has been a regular on the Pat McAfee Show and was originally slated to be a part of the show all season.
Those plans have since been dashed due to the ongoing feud between Rodgers and Kimmel. At the center of the feud are remarks made by Rodgers suggesting that Kimmel is on the Epstein list.
Following the comments, Kimmel threatened legal action against the NFL Star.
Rodgers has been let go from the Pat McAfee Show and has reportedly made his last appearance of the season. Here’s Pat McAfee’s announcement and what everyone is saying:
Disappointed by McAfee’s approach!
Disney/ESPN won.
Aaron Rodgers suspended from "The Pat McAfee Show" after his comments on Jimmy Kimmel.
McAfee said he was "happy" Rodgers wouldn't be back on the show because of the drama it caused.

Collin Rugg provided this statement from McAfee: “There will be a lot of people who are happy with that, myself included, to be honest with you. The way it ended, it got really loud. I am happy that he’s not going to be in my mentions going forward.”
JUST IN: Aaron Rodgers is suspended from appearing on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" for the rest of the season after his beef with 'comedian' Jimmy Kimmel.
Rodgers p*ssed off a lot of people. Good.

The New York Post featured this farewell statement from McAfee:
“Aaron Rodgers is a Hall of Famer, a four-time MVP, a massive piece of the NFL story whenever you go back and tell it he will be a huge part of it.”
“We are very lucky to get the chance to chat with him and learn from him, some of his thoughts and opinions do piss off a lot of people.
“I am pumped that will no longer be every single Wednesday of my life, which it has been the past few weeks.
On Friday, obviously, I threw us into the fire as well. Forever, stand by that. Everything else, though, just can’t do that and not what we want to be known for.”

Canceling Aaron Rodgers shows that the left only care about defending ped*s.”

I was going to speculate that Aaron Rodgers smashing Jimmy Kimmel to bits on ESPN yesterday would cause major flack for Pat McAfee — and boy is that more obvious than ever now. https://t.co/D6Zf22VYKG

USA Today quoted Rodgers:
“I said that a lot of people, and I’m quoting myself, a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are hoping that doesn’t come out.
That’s what I said. That’s the entire quote.
I was referring to the fact that if there is a list, which again, this hasn’t come out yet, this was just a deposition.”
