Aaron Rodgers loses bet to C.J. Uzomah, has to wear Auburn gear
When it comes to betting in the National Football League, there are always friendly bets between teammates and friends regarding their college football teams. On Saturday, the Cal Golden Bears took on the Auburn Tigers in college football. This game had a lot of interest from Aaron Rodgers, who played for Cal, and his new tight end, C.J. Uzomah, who played for Auburn. The two decided to make a friendly wager on the game and the loser had to wear the winning team’s gear. Auburn won the game, 14-10, so on Sunday, Rodgers was a man true to his word, donning Auburn Tigers’ gear.
Check it out below.
Even though he actually followed through on the bet, you can tell Rodgers was not happy in taking the L on this one.
Aaron Rodgers believes Jets have ‘legitimate chance’ to win Super Bowl in 2023
Coming off back-to-back MVP campaigns, Rodgers had a down year in 2022, throwing for 3,695 yards with 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Rodgers certainly isn’t letting that stop him from having high expectations in year one with the Jets, believing they have a “legitimate chance” to hoist the Lombardi Trophy this season.
“Obviously, there are a lot of expectations,” Rodgers recently said of New York’s “legitimate chance” at winning it all in 2023. “A lot of people are going to be pulling for us to fall flat — the crows as [Robert] Saleh referred to them. A lot of people are in our corner too. Which is a good thing.”
Rodgers, combined with several other former Packers, and second-year stars like Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson, have Jets fans and Jets haters alike tuned in to what they’re cooking up in New York.
“We’ve had a lot of attention — before we did ‘Hard Knocks,’” Rodgers said. “Then we did ‘Hard Knocks,’ so there’s some jealousy, for sure. There’s a lot of people either jumping on the bandwagon or jumping [off] the other side. There will be a lot of eyes on us. That could be pressure to some people, that could be expectation, it could be excitement. I choose to look at it as excitement.
“There’s a lot of people that are going to be tuning in, a lot of people are going to be following along throughout our season. A lot of people are going to have a lot to cheer about, I think.”
