Aaron Rodgers' 2023 NFL season is over after his Achilles rupture in the opening game for the New York Jets.
His injury means that his Jets debut was cut short, and he will have to wait for another year, at least, to play his first full game with them. Given his advanced age, there are also fears that his injury could potentially be career-ending.
How he comes back from it will depend on the way the quarterback approaches his rehabilitation. Now, of course, there are plenty of reports of cats purring having a healing effect on certain injuries, but Rodgers' choice of animal is slightly different.
Trending
Rodgers went on the Pat McAfee show and discussed his latest injury. He dropped a line that he was looking to hear dolphin sounds to help in his recovery. He mentioned a particular act between members that could prove particularly beneficial:
“There’s ideas that some of the noises from the dolphins, when they’re lovemaking, the frequency of that is actually healing to the body.”
NFL fans were quick to jump in with their reactions on social media. Most of them were weirded out by what Rodgers said.
One tweeted:
"These stories are getting weird now."
Here are some of the best responses on X, formerly known as Twitter:
Was Aaron Rodgers taking an indirect shot at any team?
Aaron Rodgers likes to keep it light with Pat McAfee, and there's a good chance that he was just being facetious. However, with his contrarian views ranging from vaccines to UFOs, one cannot be completely sure.
Could he have been taking a potshot at another team though? The Miami Dolphins are the Jets' divisional rivals in the AFC East. Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill were phenomenal for them in the first week of the 2023 NFL season and have established themselves as the early favorites.
Perhaps the Jets quarterback wanted to take them down a notch by implying that their divisional rivals getting screwed over by other teams might make his injury more bearable. It seems unlikely, but with Rodgers, you never know.
