Terry Bradshaw, Aaron Rodgers Do Not Agree Politically originally appeared on The Spun.
Terry Bradshaw and Aaron Rodgers have some drama brewing heading into the 2025 season.
Bradshaw, a four-time Super Bowl champion, made it clear that he wasn’t a big fan of Rodgers, who signed with his Pittsburgh Steelers. Bradshaw said earlier this year that he wished Rodgers would just stay in California and “chew” on some bark.

“That’s a joke. That to me is just a joke,” Bradshaw said of Pittsburgh’s interest in Rodgers on 103.7 The Buzz back in May. “What are you gonna do? Bring him in for one year, are you kidding me?
“That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there.”
Rodgers, meanwhile, responded to Bradshaw at training camp over the weekend. His response was pretty classy.
“I’ve known Terry for a long time, being a part of FOX,” Rodgers said, speaking to NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt. “Terry’s a legend. He’s an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He’s had a legendary career in the media.

“But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn’t know me. So he’s got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I’ve done, the documentary, what I’ve said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about.”

While Rodgers and Bradshaw might have a lot in common on the football field, they’ve said pretty different things politically over the years.
Bradshaw announced that he left the Republican Party, choosing to be an independent. He criticized President Trump, too.

“I’ve been a Republican, but now I’m a registered independent. I don’t want to alienate anyone, and the minute you say, “I’m a Democrat” or “I’m Republican,” you’re kicking off the other side. I want the best person [in the White House], and I’ll pick the one who’s most like the way I feel,” he announced.
Bradshaw took issue with how President Trump criticized NFL players for kneeling for the anthem.
“This is America. If our country stands for anything, folks, it’s freedom. People died for that freedom. I’m not sure if our President understands those rights—that every American has the right to speak out and to protest. Believe me, these athletes do love this great country of ours,” Bradshaw stated.

He added: “Personally, I think our President should concentrate on North Korea and healthcare rather than ripping into athletes and the NFL.”

Rodgers, meanwhile, has shown his support for President Trump over the years, even posting a photo of himself shaking hands with POTUS on social media.
He said it was “priceless.”
Rodgers has said that he would like to get to know Bradshaw, so hopefully that’ll happen before the 2025 NFL season.

But the duo might have some disagreements in the world of politics.
