Unhinged Ex-ESPN Analyst Peter Gammons Wants Aaron Rodgers To Move To Hungary And Never Be Heard From Again

We can add former ESPN analyst Peter Gammons to the group of people who believe in CNN's shotty reporting of Aaron Rodgers being a Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist despite the quarterback completely denying the report.

The idea that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may ask Rodgers to be his Vice President running mate immediately melted some people's brains. Then, less than 24 hours after the initial report from The New York Times about the potential VP run, CNN elected to run what was nothing but a hit piece on the Jets' quarterback accusing him of being a non-believer of the Sandy Hook tragedy.

Rodgers took to X, formerly Twitter, to address the story, writing "I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place," but Gammons and plenty of others do not believe him.

Rodgers is already an enemy of the liberal crowd and his name was dragged through the mud by a left-leaning outlet, therefore the damage was done.

This led Gammons to call on Rodgers to move to Hungary and go "spout vile" there.

No wonder Gammons had a successful 20-year run at ESPN. With these sorts of posts on social media, the four-letter network may look to bring him back on board.

OutKick's Bobby Burack offered up the correct opinion, as he so often does, on the reaction to Rodgers being linked to being a Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist.

The story CNN published was based on an alleged private conversation that took place during a post-Kentucky Derby party in 2013. Pamela Brown, one of the authors of the story itself, was the source who claimed Rodgers "immediately began attacking the news media" and claimed the 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy "was actually a government inside job and the media was intentionally ignoring it."

The story also cited an anonymous person who alleged that "several years ago" Rodgers claimed "Sandy Hook never happened…All those children never existed. They were all actors."

If it feels convenient for CNN to use an author of the story itself as a source as well as another anonymous source - and then sit on the alleged story itself for 11 years - to publish a day after Rodgers was linked to a potential VP run, that's because it is.
