NFL insider Ian Rapoport has stunning response to Aaron Rodgers jibe
NFL insider Ian Rapoport recently responded to Aaron Rodgers recently calling him out on the Pat McAfee Show for his reporting style.
Rapoport made an appearance on “Tiki & Tierney” and responded to Rodgers saying he doesn't know sh**!
He responded by saying he reports accurate information and that he didn't take offense to Aaron Rodgers calling him out.
Rapoport said:
“I would say one of the things about doing what I do – and it’s the same thing really for anyone that is pretty public – is you report information and you do the best you can with making sure that it is accurate, timely. You want to be right, you want to be first, all that stuff, and then whatever happens with the info, I sort of never mind."
Rapoport added:
“I’ve never minded being in the crosshairs of anyone, especially when it’s just because of me doing my job. So I put the info out there, Rodgers can react however he wants to react. I don’t take offense, if I see him I would not be angry. To me, this is all part of it. Like, I say something and then people are allowed to react. Rodgers has never been shy about speaking his mind, so to me it’s all fine.”
Why is Aaron Rodgers beefing with Ian Rapoport
Rapoport responded to Rodgers' callout because veteran QB called him and ESPN reporter Adam Schefter out earlier this week.
Rodgers told Pat McAfee that Rapoport and Schefter don't know sh*t when it comes to his information.
Here's what Rodgers had said:
"That's my problem with the whole thing. I have no problem with Ian Rapoport, Schefter. I think they're really good at their jobs. When it comes to me, they don't know sh*t. They really don't. They don't have people in my inner circle who are sources, I can promise you that."
Aaron Rodgers has been brought up by many analysts and reporters in trade talks.
The 39-year-old has been linked to the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders as he expects to officially request a trade out of Green Bay. Rodgers stated that he is going on a "darkness retreat" and will make his decision then.
He often appears on the Pat McAfee Show and will spill the beans on updates and news regarding himself.
