Rodgers Defends Vacation Plans During Jets' Season: "I Work to Live, Not the Other Way Around"

Written By Drew Forbes

Aaron Rodgers reportedly reached out to backup QB Tyrod Taylor, asking if he could "cover his shift" for the Jets' home game against the Texans on October 31st.

Apparently, Rodgers "double booked" himself with a vacation to Ukraine, and now his airline is only offering customer credit if he tries to change it.

Rodgers defended his decision, saying, "I planned this trip before the season even started. I figured a weekend getaway was a safe bet, but that was before the Jets rolled out their schedule without even consulting me. Two months' notice for a vacation is more than most people give, so I don’t see what the big deal is."

He added, "The media loves to turn nothing into something. It’s not every day you get the chance to hit the beaches of Ukraine in October. I work to live, not the other way around."
