Unless and until ESPN pulls the plug on Rodgers, it’s fair to conclude that ESPN likes it. People tuned in on Wednesday to hear whether McAfee would address the situation and, if so, what he would say. People will tune in next Tuesday to hear what Rodgers will say.
And they’ll now be even more likely to watch whenever Rodgers is on, because there’s a chance that Rodgers will at any given time say something that will create a firestorm.
