Keith Olbermann Mocks Aaron Rodgers' Potential Season-Ending Injury During NY Jets Opener

MetLife Stadium is cursed. The New York Giants got blown out 40-0 on Sunday Night Football against the (hated) Dallas Cowboys. And now, during the Jets home opener against the Buffalo Bills—Aaron Rodgers went down. Rodgers got pressured off a blitz and suffered a game-ending injury while trying to avoid a sack. That’s the report right now. It could be season-ending, with concerns that he ruptured his Achilles. 

The Jets trading for Rodgers gave the long-suffering franchise, which hasn’t been to the postseason in 12 consecutive seasons, hope for a playoff berth and a trip to the Super Bowl this year. That quickly ended in the first quarter when Rodgers was carted off the field. I’m not a Jets fan, but no one roots for players to get injured. This divisional rivalry had the makings of an epic duel between the future Hall of Famer and the Bills’ Josh Allen. 

Now, we all must wait and see the results of the MRI. So far, X-rays show no broken bones, though that doesn’t mean he’s out of the woods concerning tendons and ligaments. In the meantime, classless and attention-seeking clown Keith Olbermann made a quip about Rodgers’ injury over—you guessed it—his stance on COVID vaccinations:

It's obvious that Olbermann has no intention of working on any network again. He’s been a hyperbolic ignoramus since the 2016 election. He was tolerable but annoying during the Bush and Obama years—no longer. 

Are you that bored, Keith? It's the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Get a grip, sir.

Prayers up for Rodgers. It’s now 13-3 Buffalo heading into the half.

By the way, this is how he entered the game. Amazing:

UPDATE: It's not looking good for Rodgers. Jets coach Robert Saleh declared Zach Wilson the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. The Jets were able to get a win over Buffalo in overtime.
