Aaron Rodgers heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers has been slammed by Skip Bayless, as he called the 41-year-old a ‘washed up diva’.
Bayless posted a more-than-5-minute rant on social media about the situation, where he trashes the Steelers and Rodgers, as the months-long saga of the four-time MVP’s free agency came to an end.
Rodgers is likely inserted as the Steelers No 1 quarterback for the season, with any talk of a compeтιтion with Mason Rudolph or Will Howard holding zero weight, as neither have had NFL success.
The caption of Bayless’ video reads – ‘I can’t believe the Pittsburgh Bleeping Steelers just signed a washed-up, 41-year old, finger pointing, blame deflecting DIVA.’
‘He was washed his last three years in Green Bay,’ Bayless said. ‘Go look at the numbers of his last three playoff games in Green Bay… I told the Jets he was washed.’
‘What has become of the Pittsburgh Steelers? I don’t hate them anymore, I pity them.’

The 73-year-old Bayless became known in sports broadcasting for his H๏τ takes and a H๏τ-and-cold relationship with former on-screen partner Stephen A. Smith.
Bayless picked an online fight with Tom Brady last month over Shedeur Sanders’ draft status.
Last week, the momentum behind Rudolph being the starter as at an all-time high after he appeared at a rally for President Donald Trump.
Rudolph, alongside safety Miles Killebrew, and four-time Super Bowl champion Rocky Bleier, gave Trump a personalized Steelers jersey.
Trump also gave his two cents on Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation, endorsing Rudolph.
‘I happen to think a really good quarterback is a man named Mason Rudolph,’ Trump said. ‘I think he’s gonna get a big sH๏τ. He’s tall, he’s handsome, he’s got a great arm. And I have a feeling he’s gonna be the guy.’
