Whenever I force myself to watch a clip from The Pat McAfee Show, I can feel my brain cells being sucked out of my body against my will. McAfee is an idiot, and he loves to interview his fellow idiots. One of his favorite guests? Aaron Rodgers, who appeared on McAfee’s show on Wednesday. The interview was supposed to be about Aaron’s refusal to call it quits on his football career. Aaron is a free agent, meaning he has no contract with the Steelers or anyone else, but he seems to be actively hoping for a NFL team to pick him up. But the real point of this was for Aaron to repeatedly reference his mystery wife “Brittani,” aka Schrödinger’s WAG. Brittani both exists and does not exist. She is referenced by her husband constantly, yet no one has ever caught a glimpse of her anywhere. She apparently has no online profile and she hasn’t gone to Aaron’s games, nor has she ever socialized with Aaron’s friends or teammates or their wives. Yet Brittani is everywhere, mentioned by Aaron repeatedly in this interview, even as he whines about her privacy. Bitch, you brought her up!
Aaron Rodgers had a NSFW answer when asked how he stays in shape at age 42.
Rodgers returned to the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, March 4, where the Steelers quarterback revealed the spicy reason he’s motivated to stay in shape.
“We’re not on ESPN — I mean, it wouldn’t f—ing matter — but, you know… I wanna look good,” Rodgers said, before confessing, “I want my wife to wanna f–k me all the time!”
McAfee, who seems to be the NFL star’s choice interviewer, cackled at Rodgers’ remarks.
Rodgers once again slammed the public interest in his personal life and wife’s identity as he appeared via video call on the show, as he normally does when catching up with McAfee on the show. On Wednesday, he claimed there was a “bounty” on getting a photo of his wife and called the attention “bizarre.”
Rodgers has spoken to McAfee about the “entitlement to information” he feels the public has towards his wife, who the quarterback has continued to stay mum about, calling her a “private person” who “didn’t sign up to be a celebrity.”
In January, the hosts of the Sports Gossip Show podcast said they were “pretty positive” they had figured out who Rodgers’ wife was based on clues he gave in an interview with The Athletic last August. Rodgers revealed that he had a new sister-in-law named Mia, and the podcast hosts linked a woman who has a sister named Mia back to a close friend of Rodgers’ named Mike.
I actually skimmed around the interview and every time I stopped to listen to Aaron’s words, he mentioned “my wife” or “my better half.” He claims they just got back from a ski trip. He claims that whether or not he plays next season, he’ll be fine because he’ll get to spend more time with his wife. No, he’s not thinking too hard about next season because he’s focused on his wife. I don’t know, you guys. If it comes out that he’s been lying this whole time, it’s much more than a stupid “gotcha” prank. We’re getting into psychotic-break territory with how much he talks about her (always in extremely vague, impersonal ways).

I think his “wife” is a character generated by AI and he honestly believes she is real.
This is my take as well.
I know CTE is a bitch and all, but he’s a shitty person, so I think it’s OK that I find all of this to be hilarious.
Yeah, what’s bizarre about this is his obsession with his imaginary wife.
Also, he’s 42? He looks 65.
Came to say this exactly! That is a HARD 42. It’s called sunblock, my dude.
I still think blow-up doll that he’s named and takes with him everywhere.
Or perhaps giant pillow. Then again, he has been hit on the head a lot, he really could be imagining her… do we have anyone else coming out and saying ‘I met her’?
Eventually, all those closed head injuries do catch up with a person.
Yeah and at this point I’m thinking maybe he has a picture of Brittani Mahomes taped to it.
I thought it couldn’t be a coincidence that his “wife” is named Brittani just like Pat Mahomes’ wife.
You’re all so old-school. People don’t buy inflatable dolls anymore; they order silicone ones that perfectly imitate human skin and are personalized. Perhaps he actually ordered one that looks like B. Mahomes. I’m not judging. His problem.
You mean his blow up wife? Has gotta look good for the blow up wife. What a fricken weirdo!!
I believe she’s genuine. I also believe she’s too young for him.
So “Brittani” is an ai chat bot, right?
Somehow my initial comment got eaten… let me try to rewrite what I posted (sorry if this double posts my internet is bad)
Kaiser you didn’t bring up his “letter” from “‘Mia”, it’s at the end of the interview and it’s so obviously written by a man. It also contradicts the story Aaron has said, he claims his wife is Mike Studs (a rapper) SIL, Mikes fans for YEARS have said Mikes wife’s name is Kristi, now suddenly in this letter from Mia she says she has no sister named Mia…
He also indicated his wife is Eastern European but her name is Brittani????
A couple more points, it’s very clear he’s bitter at both Danica and Shailene’s comments about him bc he basically said that he was okay to abuse them bc he was actually in love with this woman. I really think this whole thing is him trying to negate what they said about him. Whenever one of them does something he brings up the wife and Shailene recently stepped out with a new man.
And you’re right when it all comes to light that his wife does not exist he’s going to look clinically insane which is funny bc in this show he accused his exes of being mentally ill.
What’s weird is that he’s constantly complaining that the press hounds him, that paparazzi are after him, that drones fly over his house – but where are the photos? He can’t go to the gym or get a cup of coffee without people taking his picture, so, where are the photos? He went skiing with his wife – where are the drones and paparazzi desperate to earn that bounty?
His friend (and according to him BIL) Mike Stud actually leaked his location on his ski trip, Mike shot a music video (Mike is a rapper, who also had a wife never seen before) and used drones to get shots… I found that funny.
Two close male friends, both public figures, both of whom have wives that have no one can confirm exist.
That’s not weird at all.
We have more confirmation of him being in a relationship with Mike the rapper than we do of him having a wife. He spent least summer following Mike’s tour and would come on stage, which is something special guests and wives do. So he and Mike, a man who also has an invisible wife, spent a lot of time together last summer. I don’t know what’s happening, but it’s weird.
My theory is Aaron read Shailene’s article, got extremely upset – Mike who already has a made up wife said “Aaron I have an idea” and Aaron who is an idiot said “brilliant”
A lot of his behavior seems to be trying to negate Danica and Shailene’s allegations.
It’s a good theory.
Your first line is *chef’s kiss* Just another reason I love this site, the writing is sublime.
It’s been sad to watch him totally change over the years. I think there is a lot to unpack with him – estrangement from family and what led to it being a big piece of the pie.
His response to COVID was deeply disappointing. Seriously hope he gets the help he so desperately needs.
Agreed. Don’t forget this is the guy who lied about being vaccinated during the Covid era. He was fined by the NFL for doing so.
I have no idea what’s going on here, but honestly, if there hadn’t been this veil of secrecy around the wife, no one would care. We watch a lot of football. You know what wives/ girlfriends I can name? Brittany Mahomes. Taylor Swift, and Ciara. I know Kyle Kelce now but I didn’t really before. Joe Flacoo played in baltimore for years and has a small army of children and I have no clue what his wife looks like.
If this is a real marriage and she exists, just having them be photographed at a local restaurant in the beginning would have been enough to stop the rumors and end this nonsense.
oh and Hailee Steinfeld with Josh Allen but I didn’t even know they were dating until they got married lol.
