Courtney Cox of WEEI’s Greg Hill Show didnât hold back in response to Aaron Rodgers’ early days as a Steeler.
The former MVP revealed that the 2025 season would likely be his last earlier this week on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
Cox lit him up over the airwaves this weekend.
“Give me a break with the ‘I just wanted to do this for fun in my final season – it’s been 20 years, haha, chuckle, chuckle.’ No, you did it so you could announce your retirement and have a farewell tour. That’s the real reason. You’re an egomaniac, a narcissist,” she remarked.
Her co-host Greg Hill echoed the sentiment, calling Rodgersâ decision to announce his possible retirement âa douche move.â
Hill continued, “Training camp hasn’t even started, and you feel the need to announce that this is your last year. ‘If you want to ask me about it when I visit your city, feel free to ask me about it. Also, feel free to bother all the other guys throughout the season with questions about my last season.'”
Cox later added that she may have been hypocritical but admitted that Rodgers himself was the driver of her reaction.
Cox said she would do the same thing if she were an athlete in Rodgers’ shoes.
“The fact that itâs Aaron Rodgers, thatâs why I hate it,” she said, later adding that she’d love it if Tom Brady did the same.
Executive producer Chris Curtis was just as candid, describing the multiple MVP and future Hall of Famer as “loathsome” and expressing regret that the Steelers had chosen to support Rodgers.
“Itâs beneath the Steelers to bring this guy in. Itâs pathetic. I hate that (head coach Mike Tomlin) is on board with it,” he added. “Heâs not good anymore.”
The criticism likely won’t be unpopular given how polarizing Rodgers has become throughout his career, especially within the last half-decade or so.
Rodgers, 41, signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh and will make approximately $13.6 million in 2025.
Last season, Rodgers threw for 3,897 passing yards and 28 touchdowns to 11 interceptions while starting for the New York Jets in what was ultimately a disappointing season.
