Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has won both a Super Bowl MVP and a league MVP Award. He will not however, win the “World’s Best Brother” Award from little brother Jordan Rodgers. Last night’s episode of “The Bachelorette,” saw Jordan openly criticize his big brother to JoJo Fletcher, the title character on this “reality” series that we all know is just oh-so-real.
Jordan Rodgers, one of JoJo Fletcher’s four finalists, let her know who she would be meeting in his family should she decide to select him for one of the hometown “dates” next week. (You’re just on pins and needles waiting to hear, aren’t you?)
“My middle brother won’t be there,” he said.
“And that’s … Aaron?” she responded, feigning a lack of knowledge.
Jordan then commenced the act of throwing Aaron Rodgers under the bus.
“It’s just the way he’s chosen to do life,” he said. “I chose to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother.”
“So, you don’t talk at all?” Fletcher asked
“No, not really,” he said.
Thus JoJo Fletcher had to come to grips with the fact that she won’t be double dating with Aaron and Olivia Munn any time soon. After this exchange, Rodgers then opened up about how tough his life has been, constantly having to exist in the shadows of his older brother, one of the most elite quarterbacks in NFL history.
Jordan was the starting QB at Vanderbilt before briefly residing on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad.
Aaron Rodgers, who has a career passer rating of 104.2 over 11 seasons with the Packers, has yet to publicly comment on his brother’s claims, probably because he has much better things to do with his life.
Or maybe not.
Perhaps Aaron Rodgers just choses to keep his The Bachelorette fandom in the closet.
