Aaron Rodgers’ guest-hosting stint on Jeopardy! was a really good one, with so many memorable moments to savor: How the Green Bay Packers QB handled trolling, how he teased contestants and just how he navigated through the game with ease.
The permanent hosting job ended up belonging to executive producer Mike Richards … until Friday, when he stepped down as host after a report from The Ringer revealed sexist and offensive comments he made on his podcast.
It was also on Friday that an interview between Rodgers and Mad Dog Sports Radio’s Adam Schein ran before the Richards news dropped, and here’s what he said about the host gig:
"Yeah, I definitely would have. If they would have figured out a way to make it work with my schedule, yeah, for sure."

Yeah, that’s right: He would have said yes if hired as long as it worked around his NFL schedule. Hmmm …
