Aaron Rodgers moving to the New York Jets has been one of the biggest and most talked about happening in this NFL offseason. Everyone has seen the NFL star soak up the culture of the city and try and become a part of the tapestry that is New York. And one such immersion into the culture relates to the TV shows of the city. One such TV show that Rodgers has been connecting with is ‘Jersey Shore’.
While Rodgers wasn’t initially aware of Jersey Shore, it seems like he has gotten a fondness for it. Interestingly, he even received an enticing offer from one of the main actors in the popular show.

One of the main actors of Jersey Shore is Mike Sorrentino. Sorrentino was one of the main reasons that Jersey Shore got as popular as it did in the first place. As the QB had voiced out his likeness for the show, Mike extended a kind offer to the QB. As per TMZ, Mike thinks that his meeting up with Rodgers is an absolute ‘must’.
Interestingly, Mike is a huge fan of Rodgers. He revealed to TMZ that his love for the way Rodgers play grew after watching A-Rod sling passes and execute perfectly on NFL Sundays. And as he now knows that Rodgers is fond of his show, he truly believes that a meet-up is a must. Additionally, this star-struck behavior goes both ways.

He spoke about how he has begun to love the show. He even referenced it and said, “One of the greatest shows back when MTV actually used to have content on it. It’s phenomenal.” Interestingly, up until a few days ago, Rodgers wasn’t even aware of the show and now, he seems to be in love with it.
All in all, the invitation from Sorrentino was a wholesome extension of friendship. It only remains to be seen if Aaron Rodgers will take up the star on his offer.
