‘Get Your Fifth Booster’: NFL Commentator’s Bold Remark About Injured Aaron Rodgers Sparks Fiery Response From the 39-Year-Old QB

It’s been over five days since Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury. However, it seems like the news hosts can’t get enough of the Super Bowl Champion’s sorrowful season. During the last week, many fans sent prayers and supportive messages. Meanwhile, there have been several news hosts, analysts, and other former players who have presented their views on the injury.

Currently, a Fox News host took shots at the 10X Pro Bowl winner. This didn’t go well with the Jets QB and he responded with a terrific comeback. The duo has a history of throwing jibes at each other. With the entire world following every move of the senior QB since his injury, he had a large audience watch as he clapped back at the remark. Though still in the recovery phase, Rodgers looks optimistic about regaining complete fitness prior to the next NFL season. Till then, grab the popcorn and enjoy how the SB MVP got back at one of his haters.

The NFL commentator is baffled as Rodgers’ reply hits home!

Since Aaron Rodgers ruptured his left Achilles tendon, he has been nursing the injury with hospital staff taking care of the QB. Former ESPN and MSNBC broadcaster Keith Olbermann poked fun at A-Rod’s injury with a vaccination jibe. The No. 8 jersey player replied back on the Pat McAfee show. That’s when McAfee opened the floodgates and asked if Rodgers had anything to say about the vaccination shade thrown at him. Rodgers was quick to reply “Get your fifth booster, Keith. Bum.” A-Rod, who never shies away from banter, completely owned Olbermann with his rollicking reply.

The banter ensued when the commentator pointed out the injury by showcasing the syringes. Anyone who’s been following Rodgers closely knows about his stance against vaccines. A-Rod has often made his opinions on the same and isn’t shy to back away from replying to the ones against it. Keith was quick to notice the syringe next to the QB in a hospital image shared on social media. He tweeted, “Another #SuddenLisfranc due to failure to vaccinate,”. He followed it up with six syringe emojis. Speaking for the first time since his surgery, the NFL’s future HOF looked positive about his rehab.

Aaron Rodgers is grateful for making it through surgery

In a season where fans were hoping to see their hero for the first time in the Jets jersey, the plans were cut short last Monday as Rodgers was booted off the MetLife stadium after sustaining an Achilles tendon injury. Now, five days after the mishap, the 2020 NFL Completion Leader spoke to the media regarding his rehab.

An emotional Rodgers said, “Lot of sadness, lot of tears, lot of dark frustration, anger, the gamut of emotions. But the sun rose the next day and I found myself in L.A. Had surgery on Wednesday, and since then I’ve been feeling better.” 

Though he didn’t give an exact length of rehab, Rodgers confirmed that Monday night wasn’t the last time fans saw him in The Jets outfit. He further expressed his gratitude towards the orthopedic surgeon who performed a successful surgery.

Seems like Rodgers is recovering well. Given his quick-liners and banters are back, it’s a great sign that the legendary QB is back on his way to complete fitness. However, he finds himself in a race against time and age to step back on the field next year. Fingers crossed until then!
