NFL fans made so many 'Jeopardy!' jokes after report of Aaron Rodgers' unhappiness with the Packers
SO MANY JEOPARDY! JOKES.
Aaron Rodgers is reportedly not happy with the Green Bay Packers, and it’s gotten to the point where the MVP quarterback “is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Thursday afternoon.
Add this to the list of unexpected news on NFL Draft day.
Schefter’s reporting left NFC North fan bases celebrating while also quickly galvanizing some NFL fans to start lobbying for Rodgers to join their preferred franchises. And then, of course, a bunch of people made Jeopardy! jokes and puns.
Rodgers recently finished his stint as a guest host of the game show — he’s among the many celebrities to temporarily fill in for the late Alex Trebek — and he generally received pretty positive reviews. He had some funny moments, teased contestants and he and the Packers even got roasted over the team’s most recent playoff loss during Final Jeopardy.
In fact, Rodgers did such a great job on Jeopardy! that a producer of the show said recently that “his second career could be better than his first.” And when USA TODAY asked the star quarterback if he’d ever consider becoming the permanent Jeopardy! host one day, Rodgers said: “Hell yeah, I would.”
We here at For The Win even wrote that Rodgers should get the permanent Jeopardy! gig when his time in the NFL eventually ends. Why not? He was a great contestant, an entertaining host and loves the game show.
But whether taking over full-time on Jeopardy! is a realistic option for Rodgers or not, it certainly didn’t stop fans from making Jeopardy! jokes in response to the report about being disgruntled in Green Bay.
And so many people reacted with the exact same, super obvious, totally predictable yet still funny pun.
His future is in Jeopardy.
