The Pittsburgh Steelers joined the rest of the NFL in watching the 2025 ESPY Awards, honoring the best players and teams across all sporting platforms, and this year, it was hosted by comedian Shane Gillis. As any award show goes, Gillis spent plenty of time talking about the biggest topics in sports and making jokes about everyone in attendance – and many who weren’t. One name that caught a joke from the viral comedian was Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who got brought into a political conversation as Gillis was rifting about names like President Donald Trump. In a rant about the COVID-19 vaccine, Gillis brought up how Rodgers was openly against it, with Gillis saying, “he predicted that it would be bad for him.”
