Jimmy Johnson began the criticizing when he said he was “disappointed” with Rodgers’ “play on words” concerning his explanation about the entire situation. “I am disappointed in some of his selfish actions,” Johnson said. Howie Long noted that he agreed with Rodgers’ stance on medical privacy — but within reason. “But it ceases to be a personal decision when you take part in being a part of a football team in a building with coaches, players, trainers … and you run the risk of taking something home to your wife, children, grandchildren,” Long said. He added that Green Bay has a great record at 7-1 and Rodgers not playing could impact their success.
Terry Bradshaw was, by far, the harshest, mocking the Rodgers’ usage of the “cattle dewormer” ivermectin. “It would’ve been nice if he could’ve come to the Naval Academy and learn how to be honest, learned not to lie,” Bradshaw said, noting the crew’s location. “Because that’s what you did, Aaron. You lied to everyone.” Added Bradshaw, “Unfortunately, we’ve got players that pretty much think only about themselves and I’m extremely disappointed in the actions of Aaron Rodgers.”
