The dysfunctional Jets with a one-legged Aaron Rodgers … I’m game!

North Dakota governor and Republican presidential candidate Doug Burgum paid a visit Tuesday morning to our Washington D.C. offices here at the Daily Caller, and he had some interesting comments that he told our very own Reagan Reese — who is the White House Correspondent for the Caller — regarding a conversation he had with New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers last week.

“Gov. Doug Burgum tells me that he recently spoke with Aaron Rodgers about his Achilles injury,” tweeted Reese. “‘They’ don’t want Rodgers coming back this season, but the Jets QB told the governor ‘I’m playing.'”

Burgum also went on to say that Rodgers was on the sideline throwing the football.

Oh, you better believe I got my soda pop ready for this one!

Nothing against Burgum, I have to thank him for the exclusive, but this dude Aaron Rodgers is something else, man.

He thinks that the Jets are going to hold in there just enough (and I definitely have to give them a little bit of credit after their win over the Philadelphia Eagles, I still don’t know how the hell that happened) to be able to make a comeback that he’ll probably end up rushing, but who’s to say that the Jets — a team who has scored less points than points against them — are going to hold up?

Do you really think Zach Wilson and a fluke Eagles win is going to set you up nicely, Aaron?

And if New York does set him up nice, how much impact is a hobbled 39-year-old gonna bring at the end of the season in a scenario where you know the intensity will be at an all-time high with battles for playoff positioning going on?

In other words, the Jets won’t be setting up Aaron, Aaron is going to be setting up the Jets … for yet more dysfunction.

Just watch. I’ve been right about the Jets for years, including this season, and here we go again.

But carry on, Aaron. I’ve got my popcorn, my soda, my chocolate, I’m ready for the entertainment!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
