"Kimmel vs. Rodgers Feud Escalates Amid ESPN Apology and McAfee Show Fallout"

ESPN's Mike Foss acknowledged Aaron Rodgers's "dumb" joke linking Jimmy Kimmel to Jeffrey Epstein, but expects Rodgers to continue appearing on The Pat McAfee Show. McAfee has accused ESPN executive Norby Williamson of trying to sabotage his show, while ESPN has expressed support for Williamson. The feud between Kimmel and Rodgers has escalated, with Kimmel threatening legal action and potentially involving Disney executives. Despite the controversy, McAfee's show has seen significant viewership growth, and he plays a major role in ESPN's programming. Disney and ESPN are now faced with managing the fallout from the talent-on-talent conflict, with Kimmel holding significant influence within the company.
