Aaron Rodgers never shies away from saying what’s on his mind. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback sparked online chatter again this week when an old comment of his resurfaced. The four-time MVP once said he doesn’t believe God spends any time worrying about football games.
“I don’t think God cares a whole lot about the outcome,” Rodgers said. “He cares about the people involved, but I don’t think he’s a big football fan.”
Those words, which Rodgers shared years ago, is now viral on social media. The timing only helped it go, with Rodgers still adjusting to life in Pittsburgh after his highly publicized move from Green Bay. His shift has already drawn plenty of debate, especially after former Steelers great Terry Bradshaw questioned whether the decision ever made sense in the first place.
Rodgers’ words about God received replies from fans as expected. A few joked about it, while others became serious.

Rodgers, though, seemed more interested in swapping stories than debating theology. On Cam Heyward’s “Not Just Football” podcast, he leaned into his reputation for odd theories. When asked to share one, he skipped UFOs or government coverups and went straight to ghosts.
He told a story from Packers camp at St. Norbert College in Wisconsin back in 2007 or 2008. A teammate swore he saw a shadow in the corner of his dorm room. The next night, another teammate spotted the same thing in the same corner of the adjacent room. “That was very strange,” Rodgers said.
Heyward couldn’t believe it. “I did not think you were going to go ghosts on us,” the defensive tackle admitted. Rodgers only laughed, pointing out that conspiracies always seem to follow him.
The ghost chat linked back to Rodgers’ current setup. The Steelers hold camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, and Rodgers said...
