A famously dumb guy is doing dumb things again.
Aaron Rodgers, the fledgling Jets quarterback, has invested in drinking from the “fountain of youth” at 40-years-old. Allegedly, heās been āgassing upā on the cayenne pepper and water combo ahead of the Jetsā Thursday Night Football game against the Houston Texans on Halloween night.
Surely, this will be the thing that turns his season around. If not, he’ll always be able to blame someone else.
