Radio host savages 'egomaniac' and 'narcissist' Aaron Rodgers in furious rant about his failure to retire from the NFL

Aaron Rodgers is set to go on a season-long retirement tour as he gets set for one last run as an NFL quarterback. Not everyone is happy with that decision.

Following months of delaying the inevitable, Rodgers inked a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this month to officially get off the free agent market.

He later revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that this would likely be his final year playing in the NFL.

Speaking on The Greg Hill Show on Boston sports radio station WEEI, co-host Courtney Cox blasted Rodgers’ decision.

‘Give me a break with the ‘I just wanted to do this for fun for my final (season) – it’s been 20 years, haha, chuckle, chuckle,’ Cox said on a recent episode. 

‘No, you did it so that you could tell everybody you’re retiring and have a farewell tour. That’s why you did it. You’re an egomaniac, a narcissist.’

Cox’s co-host, Greg Hill, agreed with her ᴀssessment – calling Rodgers’ choice to announce his impending retirement now ‘a douche move’. 

Hill added, ‘Training camp hasn’t even started, and you need to declare that this is, this is the last (year). “If you want to ask me about it when I come to your city, feel free to ask me about it. Feel free to bother all the other guys also all season long when you ask them about my last season.”‘

Cox did later admit that she might be hypocritical before saying she’d do the same thing if she was a pro athlete and that she’d love it if former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had done the same thing.

Rodgers, 41, inked a one-year deal to play in Pittsburgh while making about $13.6million.

The Steelers were in a tough position having lost starting quarterback Russell Wilson to the New York Giants in free agency and backup quarterback Justin Fields to a trade landing him with the New York Jets.

Rodgers has been struggling in recent years – with his Jets tenure being a disappointment. Last season, he tossed for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in a losing campaign.
