Fox Sports 1 analyst Colin Cowherd compared a polarizing star NFL quarterback to none other than President Donald Trump.

Other than Skip Bayless, perhaps no sports analyst is full of hot takes as often as Colin Cowherd. Among his worst takes: Ben Simmons was more fun to watch than LeBron James, Kevin Durant would never go to the Golden State Warriors (KD did, in fact, go to the Warriors) and Dak Prescott would be a backup tight end in the NFL.

Well, Cowherd’s latest take involving Donald Trump and free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers is bound to ruffle up even more feathers.

Speaking on the latest edition of his show, “The Herd with Colin Cowherd”, the controversial sports analyst explained why Rodgers reminds him of President Trump to co-host Jason McIntyre:

“I think Aaron is a little like Trump, they give off the same energy that they receive. I’ve known people who I wouldn’t think would get along with Trump, who have gotten along with Trump. If you give Trump a certain energy, you can get along. I think Aaron gives you the energy that you give him, and that’s his personality.”

Well, there’s one major similarity between Rodgers and Trump that isn’t up for debate: The two are close friends with outspoken anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom Trump named the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services.

RFK Jr. wanted Rodgers to be his running mate in the 2024 presidential election, but the four-time MVP wanted to stay fully committed to football. Kennedy Jr., Rodgers and Trump have also openly expressed their beliefs in bizarre and baseless conspiracy theories.

Before the 2024 election, Rodgers was critical of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign in August and endorsed Trump, who went on to defeat Kamala Harris.

When you utter a hot take involving a polarizing athlete and the President of the United States, you better expect backlash. It’s nothing Cowherd isn’t used to, and he’s always enjoyed following the whole “Any publicity is good publicity” mindset.
