Aaron Rodgers stands as one of the most electrifying figures in the history of the NFL—a four-time Mvp, Super Bowl champion, and arguably one of the most skilled quarterbacks to ever take the field. His career is marked by iconic performances, precise throws, and audacious plays, cementing his place among the all-time greats.

Yet the tension between Rodgers’ football brilliance and his complex, often polarizing public persona shapes a portrait of a man continually at odds with the image he has cultivated. Behind the confident swagger of the quarterback lies a figure who often slips into the role of introspective thinker, pondering life’s mysteries through a lens of mysticism and unconventional beliefs.

Rodgers’ fame extends far beyond his athletic feats. His outspoken views—on everything from vaccine skepticism to self-proclaimed spiritual awakenings—have made him a lightning rod for controversy.

This tension between the poised leader on the...

It’s well-documented that Simone Biles doesn’t really like that athletes are bombarded with questions about “what’s next” in the moments after they’ve achieved their lifelong dreams.

But as she pondered her future after winning gold medals at the 2024 Olympics, and further cementing her legacy as the greatest gymnast of all time, a path began to emerge — toward entertainment.

“Whether I like it or not, I’ve been around the entertainment space for basically my whole professional career. If you asked me when I was younger, I wanted to be a nurse. I wanted to help people. I wanted to be out in the community,” Biles tells Variety about her decision to join the board of Religion of Sports (Ros), the media company founded by NFL legends Tom Brady and Michael Strahan and Emmy-winning documentarian Gotham Chopra.

“I feel like this is such a unique way to still be in the community,...

Streaming audiences have been all over the place with their holiday viewing this year. Instead of non-stop Christmas classics, we've seen Megan Fox sci-fi thrillers dominating Netflix's charts, and Gerard Butler-led crime thrillers taking over the Max rankings. That said, viewers have still managed to squeeze in some traditional holiday fare amid all the crime and sci-fi stuff, with Prime Video audiences propelling Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1996 Christmas comedy "Jingle All the Way" to the top of that streamer's charts. But even as the festive classics surface for the season, our collective appetite for darker offerings appears to be insatiable, as a new Netflix comedy drama series has managed to stand out amid the holiday stream-fest.

Back in 2022, "Dead to Me" creator Liz Feldman signed on to helm new Netflix series "No Good Deed," and now the show has finally arrived. It seems it was worth the wait, too,...

Aaron Rodgers has a lot to complain about at the moment.

His New York Jets are 4-10 and certain to miss the NFL playoffs, and his ex-girlfriend Shailene Woodley is finally opening up about their toxic relationship.

And Aaron’s not known for his sunny disposition even when things are going well, so you can bet that he’s especially grumpy these days.

Yes, the future Hall of Famer has a long history of sullenness, and he opens up about some of his past problems in a new Netflix docuseries entitled Aaron Rodgers: Enigma.

Aaron Rodgers Speaks Out on Falling Out With Family

Episode two of the series finds Aaron speaking out about his strained relationship with brother Jordan Rodgers,...

Watching the new Netflix sports docuseries Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, I reflected on how the media has changed this century. It’s a funny thing. Journalists and reporters demand genuine, honest conversation, yet we live and die by search engine optimization. However, we live in an age where we reduce soundbites to the point where we no longer care about their accuracy.

Today, we cut up what transpires in a one-on-one conversation or press conference into something that never reflects the actual intent. The days of Edward R. Murrow are gone, replaced by bloggers and social media darlings. While watching Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, you can genuinely feel for the man, but he often puts his foot in his mouth without showing true humility.

The streamer has released a trailer for Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, premiering Tuesday, Dec. 17, with the New York Jets quarterback chronicling his return to football after suffering a devastating injury last season. We see Rodgers experiencing a sound bath and other spiritual remedies as the 41-year-old explains, “I’m trying to beat back Father Time, and the expectations.” He undergoes a grueling rehab to get back on the field as the sports media voices serious doubts about his ability to play again.
