Antonio Brown drops 4-word message as Aaron Rodgers refuses to apologize to kid after "almost" hitting him 

Aaron Rodgers received a bit of public scrutiny for his reaction to a young spectator at a celebrity golf tournament on Sunday.

During the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Resort, Nevada, on Sunday, Rodgers drew attention as he moved between holes. A boy in the gallery shouted that the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback had nearly hit him with his golf shot.

Rodgers delivered a short and witty remark as moved on paying little heed to the boy.

“You almost hit me, Aaron Rodgers,” the boy shouted.

Rodgers replied, “Almost doesn’t count.”

Antonio Brown weighed in after a video of the incident went viral. Sharing the clip on X, he captioned it simply,

“Cracker of the day.”

However, no footage has surfaced that shows whether Rodgers really came close to hitting the boy spectator.

Aaron Rodgers declines autograph to a fan

Rodgers’ interactions with fans didn’t just stop there. On Saturday, he declined to sign some memorabilia for a man who said he’d been to a 2005 Packers game but couldn’t answer a trivia question about it.

Rodgers challenged the fan to name the player who caught his only pass in that game. When the man came up empty, Rodgers labeled him an “autograph hound” and walked away.

Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers put on a solid display in the tournament, finishing in a tie for 15th place with a Stableford score of 44. With 73 points, former hockey star Joe Pavelski defeated baseball great John Smoltz to win the tournament.

Rodgers used the opportunity, however, to talk about his new life in Pittsburgh.

"Well, I just like the newness of it all... I mean, I'm excited about being at such a great franchise, with a Hall of Fame head coach."

Despite his upbeat comments, questions remain about Rodgers’ place among the league’s elite. ESPN’s annual quarterback rankings omitted him from the top 10 this year, reflecting skepticism after an injury-plagued stint with the Jets and inconsistent play last season.
