During an interview on Mad Dog Sports Radio with host Adam Schein, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers reflected on watching ESPN’s “30 for 30” about the 1986 World Series champion New York Mets and explained why their story resonated with him.
Rodgers spoke about the unique passion of New York sports fans, the overlap between Mets and Jets supporters, and how the Mets’ improbable championship run underscored what it would mean to bring a title back to a franchise that hasn’t reached the Super Bowl since the Joe Namath era. He shared his excitement about the opportunity to help deliver a championship to one of the NFL’s most loyal fan bases.
