Aaron Rodgers was all of us during the Jets’ ‘Monday Night Football’ clash with the Buffalo Bills this week, with the veteran quarterback just as frustrated by the absurd number of flags thrown during the game.
The Bills escaped with a win on the night, leaving MetLife Stadium with a 4-2 record on the back of a fixture marred by a ridiculously high number of penalties.
There were 22 accepted penalties in the game, which made it hard to watch, prompting some critique from the QB while he spoke to reporters in the aftermath.
Rodgers described the officiating as “ridiculous,” calling the refs out for rendering some of the game’s biggest plays moot, including a play that would have registered a touchdown for New York but turned out to be a missed field goal instead.
The signal-caller also shockingly admitted that the roughing the passer call he was awarded was bogus.

“It seemed a little ridiculous,” he said. “Some of them seemed really bad, including the roughing the passer on me, that’s not roughing the passer. We might as well play Sarcastaball if we’re going to call those things.”

The call was one of the night’s more controversial moments, given that AJ Epenesa’s sack appeared to be clean despite his body landing on the QB.

Rodgers apparently disagreed with it, although the Jets got a first down and were able to extend their drive.
The four-time MVP, who threw the fourth successful Hail Mary of his career to end the first half of the game, also made a cheeky ‘South Park’ reference as he suggested that the NFL might as well lay “Sarcastaball” if unnecessary flags continue getting thrown.

NBA fans are praying for basketball icon Michael Jordan following the emergence of a certain photo.
Jordan, who is widely considered to be the greatest NBA player of all time, was in France this week watching Monaco play Barcelona. The teams squared off for a UEFA Champions League showdown at the Louis II Stadium on Thursday, with the home side snatching a shocking 2-1 victory.
Photos of MJ in the stands quickly surfaced online, with his eyes a worrying shade of yellow.
Check it out below:
The outing hardly marked the first time Jordan’s eyes got fans talking, but it appears whatever the condition is has gotten worse. Most fans are of the view that he’s jaundiced due to excessive drinking and could be dealing with liver problems.
