Boston Radio Tears Into Aaron Rodgers Over NFL Retirement Tour Announcement

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers sparked a firestorm of criticism after announcing that the 2025 NFL season will likely be his last. The four-time MVP shared his plans on The Pat McAfee Show, prompting a heated response from Boston’s WEEI radio hosts Greg Hill, Courtney Cox, and Chris Curtis.

The trio didn’t hold back on The Greg Hill Show, slamming Rodgers for turning his potential final season into a self-proclaimed farewell tour before training camp even began. Hill called it a “douche move,” arguing that Rodgers’ announcement burdens his teammates with constant questions about his retirement. “It’s like he’s begging every city to roll out the red carpet for his grand exit,” Hill quipped.

Cox echoed the sentiment, accusing Rodgers of narcissism for craving the spotlight. “He’s not just retiring—he’s orchestrating a season-long ego trip,” she said, though she admitted she’d cheer if Tom Brady pulled the same stunt. Curtis was even harsher, labeling Rodgers “loathsome” and questioning the Steelers’ decision to sign him. “He’s not even good anymore,” Curtis added, dismissing Rodgers’ relevance.

Rodgers, unfazed, vowed to “empty the tank” for Pittsburgh, expressing excitement about playing under coach Mike Tomlin and joining a storied franchise. “I’m all in for the Steelers, chasing big games and big dreams,” he said. Whether his final act delivers glory or fuels more controversy remains to be seen.
