New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not make any more appearances on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show for the remainder of the NFL season, Pat McAfee announced on his show on Wednesday.

McAfee said that they are very lucky to have Rodgers, a future Hall-of-Famer, on their show every Tuesday, but is does come with it's complications.

"Some of his thoughts and opinions, though, do piss off a lot of people," McAfee said of Rodgers. "I'm pumped that that is no longer gonna be every single Wednesday of my life, which it has been for the last few weeks."

Rodgers was originally scheduled to appear on the show throughout the postseason, which starts on Saturday, according to The New York Post.

“There will be a lot of people who are happy with that, myself included to be honest with you,” McAfee said. “The way it ended, it got really loud. I am happy that he’s not going to be in my mentions going forward, which is great news.”

Rodgers has appeared on McAfee's show every Tuesday during the NFL regular season for the last four years. He has shared controversial opinions along the way, most recently in a feud with Jimmy Kimmel, which grew when Rodgers implied that Kimmel may be named in court documents revealing a list of Jeffrey Epstein associates, an insinuation that has now been proven false by the newly-released list.
