Aaron Rodgers is back trashing ESPN.
Last month, Rodgers went viral when he appeared on the Pat McAfee show and criticized ESPN for not covering the Dianna Russini scandal.
“And there was another scandal this offseason too, involving a voter for MVP and Coach of the Year. How much time did your network spend on that?”
