Aaron Rodgers Vows to Keep Swearing During ‘Pat McAfee Show’ Appearances

The Pat McAfee Show has moved to ESPN, but the popular program is keeping its most prominent guest star as Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he will make weekly appearances on the show during football season.

However, although ESPN is trying to curb the amount of cursing on the show, Rodgers doesn’t plan on changing anything. In fact, Rodgers said he takes ESPN’s decision to censor profanity on the show as a challenge.

“I feel like we need to do some episodes where we do like what ‘South Park’ did the one time and try to break the record how many times they can curse,” Rodgers said, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Then, more seriously, Rodgers confirmed he doesn’t have plans to change the freewheeling way he approaches the show.

“I will not be censoring myself,” Rodgers said. “I will be the same old, same old.”

To combat the cursing on the show, ESPN is airing The Pat McAfee Show on a brief delay, which will allow producers to mute objectionable words. So Rodgers may be putting ESPN’s plan to the test during upcoming appearances.

Rodgers will appear on The Pat McAfee Show every Tuesday throughout the NFL season, just as he’s done the past few years.
