Aaron Rodgers Clarifies He Brought Tequila Not a Bong to the Jets Game

Aaron Rodgers cleared the air on whether or not he brought a bong to a recent New York Jets game.

“That was not a bong first of all first of all,” Rodgers, 39, said during a Friday, November 10, “Pat McAfee Show” appearance. “I was walking off the field with my Maestro Dobel Tequila that [ESPN Deportes sideline reporter] John Sutcliffe gives me every time he sees me on Monday night football.”

The quarterback explained as he was getting ready to leave the turf on Thursday, November 9, he heard “a British guy yelling” his name which turned out to be his friend Hugh Coles. After Rodgers went over to say hello to Coles, 31, he ended up dropping the uniquely shaped bottle.

“I see Hugh, give him a hug, dap him up, go to pick it back up, s–t falls out and I lose half my tequila,” he shared. “So, shout out to John for bringing me tequila, shout out to Maestro Dobel, shout out to Hugh, shout out to bongs everywhere, but that was not one of them.”
