Greenbay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers continues to prove he’s a man of many talents on and off the field. Rodgers, who received praised reviews during his guest host stint on Jeopardy!,<\/em> reveals he would love to have taken on the permanent hosting gig had he been offered the job. “Yeah, I definitely would have. If they would have figured out a way to make it work with my schedule, yeah, for sure,” he told Mad Dog Sports Radio<\/em>. “When you’re such a super Jeopardy!<\/em> fan like I am, it’s just so special to be on that stage and be in that environment,” Rodgers said.<\/p>\n “It was just so much fun. I spent a lot of time studying and getting ready for it. I definitely wanted it,” he added. The job actually went to executive producer Mike Richards who ultimately passed on the opportunity after a series of scandals from the producer’s past resurfaced. “It pains me that these past incidents and comments have cast such a shadow on Jeopardy!<\/em> as we look to start a new chapter,” Richards wrote in his statement.<\/p>\n
