Following Shannon Sharpe’s ‘Appetite for Squirrels’, Aaron Rodgers’ New Teammate’s Food Preference Will Irk Stephen A. Smith

Weird but interesting food habits! The New York Jets’ latest admission and Aaron Rodgers‘ new teammate, shared his interesting plate in a bizarre interview clip. With this revelation, he joined Shannon Sharpe, probably inspired by him, who used to have similar eating habits during his childhood days.

In the latest talk on his podcast, Sharpe revealed that he used to chow down a variety of animals, including squirrels and turtles as a child. Now, another NFL figure, and Aaron Rodgers’ new teammate, definitive tackle Javon Kinlaw, shared a similar interest in food recently.

Javon Kinlaw shares a Shannon Sharpe-like eating habit

In an erky video clip with the Jets’ in-house media channel, newly signed defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw confessed to eating squirrels. When asked what fans should know about him, Kinlaw casually mentioned his unusual diet stating, “I eat squirrels,” after sharing that he had six dogs.

The interviewer, Caroline Hendershot, expressed surprise, to which Kinlaw responded that he also eats snakes, rabbits, and anything else he can catch. He continued, “I like to fish, hunt, I love fashion and I’m a cool dude.”

This certainly makes him a part of Shannon Sharpe’s food table, who also disclosed his unusual food chart to fans. Consequently, irking Smith even further.

Stephen A. Smith was stunned at Shannon Sharpe’s “crazy” choices!

Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith, hosts of ESPN’s First Take, usually see eye to eye on many topics, but their food preferences are a different story. Sharpe hails from Glennville, Georgia, while Smith is from Queens, New York. Given their different upbringings, it’s no surprise that they have different tastes in food.

Recently Sharpe ranked four foods he grew up eating: squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, and turtles. He even shared his preferences for cooking these proteins. On his Nightcap podcast, Sharpe revealed that he liked squirrels the best, followed by raccoons, rabbits, and then turtles. He reminisced about his childhood, mentioning that chicken was a rare treat back then.

Smith found Sharpe’s food choices amusing, especially when Sharpe enthusiastically talked about eating squirrels. Smith shared this conversation with his audience, joking about his own aversion to raccoons, turtles, or squirrels. He expressed, “This brother is hilarious. I called him an hour ago, and do you know what Shannon Sharpe said to me y’all?…..He said to me ‘Man we gotta get you outta the city. You don’t know what you missing. That New York crap, we gotta show you what real food is like.’ Food!? Raccoons? I flip up my garbage can and run before I run back to make sure none are gonna pop out.”

He emphasized that while he and Sharpe may agree on many things, food is where they truly differ. And why not? Eating adorable creatures like squirrels is rather debatable.
