Aaron Rodgers Says Shailene Woodley Wanted to ‘F–k This Guy’ Before …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Aaron Rodgers has never been one to hold back.

But even by his standards, the future Hall of Famer really went scorched earth in a new interview with the “Not Just Football” podcast.

Rodgers vented about a wide array of topics, but it’s his comments about his breakup with Shailene Woodley that have sparked the most controversy.

“I dated two women who nobody gives a f–k about unless they drop my name,” the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said on the podcast, referring to his relationships with Woodley and Danica Patrick.

“I date Shailene,” Rodgers said, reflecting on the start of his 2020 engagement to the actress.

“I propose, and she says, ‘Yes,’” he recalled.

“Now, she maybe felt like she was forced to make a decision. She could have said no. But not a couple of days after that, she tells me, ‘You know, before we get married I gotta go f–k this guy,’” Rodgers continued, adding:

“Her story is, I ruined her life and gave her a crazy depression because I left her.”

He went on to allege that Woodley was the one who broke off the engagement –after, apparently, telling the Steelers QB that she wanted to bang her ex before getting married.

Rodgers was not much kinder in his comments about Patrick.

“She had just retired,” he said of his relationship with the NASCAR legend, adding:

“She was depressed and not fun to be around. But I didn’t leave her because I was trying to be there and be a good partner.”

He went on to explain how his and Patrick’s relationship was heading toward a “certain direction” with “no intimacy.”

“Then, I’m buying a house in Malibu, and she goes, ‘Well, would you want to buy it together?’ And I say, ‘No,’” he recalled, adding:

“She said, ‘You know what that means then?’ I said, ‘Yeah, that’s the way things are going.’So she tells the story [that she’s] totally blindsided by getting left.

“I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ That is not what happened by any means.”

Rodgers touched on many topics during the wide-ranging interview, including the Diana Russini-Mike Vrabel scandal and the recent arrest of San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York.

He concluded the segment about his exes by kindly asking them to STFU:

“Number one, why are you still talking about me? It’s been years,” he said, adding:

“They like to say their version of the history of what actually happened. I’m just like, this ‘monster’ of a partner, and it’s just f–king horse s–t.”

Clearly, as a new NFL season begins, Aaron Rodgers has entered his No F–ks Given Era.

Brian Duckworth Cause of Death: Country Music Icon Was 56

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have sad news from the world of country music today.

Brian “Nashville” Duckworth — the West Virginia musician best known for performing alongside his siblings in the country group Taylor Made — has passed away at the age of 56.

News of Duckworth’s passing comes courtesy of an obituary published by his local newspaper.

According to his obituary, Duckworth was born December 8, 1969, in Grafton, West Virginia, and spent much of his life balancing his love of music with a decidedly less glamorous day job.

Duckworth worked as a dump truck driver for Wolfe’s Excavating, where he earned the affectionate nickname “Truck Boss.”

His obituary notes that he genuinely enjoyed the work because it allowed him to spend his days outdoors.

But music was clearly never far from his heart.

Duckworth grew up singing with his siblings, Greg and Wendy, on the back porch of their family home.

Their mother taught the children to sing, and neighbors would reportedly request songs from the young performers.

Eventually, the siblings took their act to the next level.

Brian, Greg, and Wendy initially performed together as I-79 before becoming Taylor Made.

The family group built a following with its three-part harmonies and released several hit songs, including “Things You Don’t Grow Out Of,” which reached No. 36 on the Billboard Indicator chart.

Taylor Made was also named MusicRow Magazine’s Independent Artist of the Year in 2012.

So while Duckworth may not have been a household name in the same way as some of Nashville’s biggest stars, he carved out a meaningful place in the country music community — all while continuing to work a regular job and raise his family.

Duckworth is survived by his wife, Tina Scheuvront Duckworth, whom he married in 2010, as well as six children and four grandchildren. The family was also preparing to welcome another granddaughter.

His obituary describes Duckworth as someone who treasured his family, music, the outdoors, and his pets.

Funeral services are scheduled for September 14 in Grafton, West Virginia.

For those who knew Brian Duckworth personally, however, his legacy will apparently be about much more than the songs he performed.

He was a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend — and a guy who somehow managed to be both “Nashville” and the “Truck Boss.”

Our thoughts go out to Brian Duckworth’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

Prince Harry Reportedly Blames King Charles for Stunning Invictus Games Setback

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Did King Charles drive a new wedge between him and Prince Harry on purpose?

Mere weeks ago, Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK. Many believe that this was to spend more time with Charles.

But now, Uganda has abruptly pulled out of the Invictus Games, specifically citing Charles’ wishes.

A new report say that Harry is, understandably, pretty darn angry.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ‘private citizens,’ King Charles clarified

When King Charles issued a “clarification” of Prince Harry’s status as part of the royal family but not a working royal, he may have set off a short but devastating chain reaction.

He released the letter on Monday, September 7, characterizing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as “private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.”

Allegedly, the ailing monarch sent the note to the media without consulting his son or his daughter-in-law.

Now, it’s possible that this is a misunderstanding. Maybe Harry and Meghan wanted Charles to clarify that they continue to have exactly the same role that they chose for themselves in 2020.

However, the consequences that this letter has had for the Invictus Games are not up for debate.

It is difficult to explain Uganda’s reasoning here

One day after Charles released the letter by way of his Lord Chamberlain, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Chief of Defense Forces for Uganda, made his own announcement.

“In order not to be construed as being opposed to His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom, whom we deeply revere, Uganda hereby withdraws from the Invictus games,” he declared.

In the same tweet, Kainerugaba added that Uganda “shall not participate in anything that does not have [Charles’] approval.”

We are unsure of what kind of grown adult, let alone a government official, “deeply reveres” the UK’s publicly-funded human mascot.

We’re sure that Uganda and the UK have a complex history. Britain has a long and complex history with countless nations of the world, which is why the single most popular non-religious holiday on the planet is independence from England specifically.

Kainerugaba does not ‘support that Harry-Meghan nonsense,’ whatever that means

Unfortunately, Kainerugaba did not stop there, and made it clear that he’s not observing some sort of protocol.

Rather, he is actively taking sides in what he perceives as a rift between Prince Harry and King Charles.

Speaking to The Times UK, Kainerugaba claimed that there are “factions in the Ministry of Defense that support that Harry-Meghan nonsense.”

He explained that he “had to quash it straight away.”

Kainerugaba then announced: “I support the monarch. Period.”

Anyone else feeling really embarrassed to be, like, a person right now?

We know that, living in the US in 2026, it is easy to feel like we are the laughingstock of the world (we are), that we are in hell (we are), and that we are in a nightmarish circus run by malicious clowns (we are).

But statements like that from Kainerugaba, in which he apparently pulled out of an international event for wounded, sick, and injured service personnel due to gossip about royals, show us that America does not have a monopoly on clownery.

Anyway, an alleged Sussex source claimed to ITV News: “Intended or unintended, this is clearly a consequence of the Lord Chamberlain’s guidance regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that was rushed out without consultation on Monday.”

The same insider added: “Sadly, the only people who will suffer are the Invictus Games competitors.”

It’s unclear how legit that source may be, and we also don’t really know what actually went on with Charles. All that we truly know seems to be that Uganda has abruptly pulled out of an event that Harry founded in 2014.

This is so weird.
