Watch: Aaron Rodgers goes viral for roasting a kid, mid-golf round
Aaron Rodgers
might be known for dropping dimes on the football field, but apparently, he's just as sharp with his comebacks on the golf course. During a recent celebrity tournament, the Jets QB had a hilarious interaction with a kid who playfully chirped at him, and the exchange is now winning hearts (and laughs) across the internet.
Aaron Rodgers hilariously tells young fan 'almost doesn't count' after near golf mishap
In a moment that feels straight out of a sitcom, Rodgers nearly sliced a shot in the kid's direction and instead of panic or apology, he responded with pure, deadpan wit. It was the kind of quick-fire exchange that only Rodgers could make iconic.
At a recent celebrity golf event, Rodgers was just trying to enjoy his round when a nearby kid piped up with a classic jab:
'You almost hit me, Aaron Rodgers!'
Without missing a beat, the Jets QB turned around and fired back:
'Almost doesn't count.'
The crowd chuckled.
Rodgers smirked. The moment was short, casual, and completely viral-worthy. And yes, someone got it on video because of course they did.
The clip's going viral because it's peak Rodgers: deadpan, witty, and totally unbothered
Rodgers wasn't mad, didn't fake-apologize, or overreact. He gave exactly the kind of dry, cheeky response you'd expect from a guy who's been in the spotlight for 20 years and still manages to keep things fun.
It's the kind of interaction that says: 'I may be an MVP, but I've got time for a joke especially from a kid chirping at me mid-golf swing.'
Fans are calling it the 'most Aaron Rodgers moment ever'
Social media hasn't totally caught up to this clip yet, but early viewers are already calling it 'the most Aaron Rodgers moment ever.' It's giving sarcastic dad. It's giving lowkey elite trash talk. It's giving 'I don't miss... and I don't miss words either.'
One fan joked,
'The man, the myth, the legend 🤣'
Another posted,
'What a tool bag. Hahaha 😂 but that's our tool bag! Lol'
Aaron Rodgers, golf, and a kid with perfect comedic timing? Internet gold
It's not every day a former Super Bowl champ and a random kid go viral for a two-line exchange. But when Rodgers is involved? You never know what kind of moment you'll get. And honestly, in a summer full of serious headlines, this little gem is the perfect palate cleanser.

Personal milestones not a priority now? Why India fell short in Lord's Test
The recently concluded third Test between India and England at Lord's cricket ground, which saw the English team walk away with a close 22-run victory, has been one of the most exciting Test matches in recent history, if not of all time. The match was a tight contest from the get-go, with India dominating for most parts except the last few sessions, where the home side edged past the visitors to secure the win and go 2-1 up in the series. India came into the Test high on confidence after their 336-run victory at Edgbaston and were hoping for another win at Lord's. But they lost battles at crucial junctures of the game, which cost them the match and the chance to take the lead in the series. But what exactly went wrong for Shubman Gill and Co in the match? Let's take a look. Lack of partnerships during the chase Probably one of the biggest reasons for India's loss is the lack of big partnerships while chasing a small target of 193 in the fourth innings. India's biggest partnership of the innings was 36 runs between KL Rahul and Karun Nair for the second wicket. After that, the partnerships for the subsequent five wickets were 1, 5, 13, 10, and 1. India did get partnerships of 30, 35, and 23 for the last three wickets, but it was mostly Jadeja scoring runs, and he eventually ran out of partners as India fell 22 runs short of the target. Indian skipper Shubman Gill himself admitted after the match that all India needed to win was one big partnership. Gill, in the post-match presentation, said, 'I was pretty confident of our chances with plenty of batting left. We needed a couple of 50-run partnerships but we weren't able to get that.' Sluggish fielding takes toll again India's sluggish fielding during the third Test was also one of the reasons why they lost the game. India dropped a total of four catches in England's first innings. They dropped chances of Ollie Pope, who went on to score 44, Jamie Smith, who made 51, and Brydon Carse, who scored 56 before finally being dismissed. All of these missed opportunities cost India more than 75 runs, and had those chances been converted, the final story of the match could have been different. Rahul lone ranger at the top order The biggest reason for India's success at Edgbaston was their top order going full throttle—something that was missing in the third Test. Except KL Rahul, who scored 100 and 39 in the two innings, no other top-order batter was able to deliver for India. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 13 and 0 in the two innings, falling to Jofra Archer on both occasions. Karun Nair scored 40 in the first innings but failed again in the second innings, being dismissed for just 14. One of the biggest setbacks for India was Shubman Gill's outing with the bat. The Indian skipper had 585 runs to his name in the four innings before the start of the match, but at Lord's, he could only score 16 and 6. Across two innings, the total score from India's top order—except Rahul—was only 89 runs, which heavily hurt India's chances in the match. Skipper Stokes stands tall for England One of the biggest reasons behind India's loss was the English skipper Ben Stokes having the outing of his life. Stokes first scored 44 runs with the bat in the first innings before taking two wickets with the ball. But his biggest contribution during the first innings came when he ran Rishabh Pant out on 74, completely changing the momentum of the match. Bowlers' trouble to dismiss tail-enders continues One of the biggest problems for Indian bowlers for a long time has been that even when they manage to dismiss the top and middle order early, they often fail to finish off the tail-enders quickly and end up conceding critical runs. The same was the case during England's first innings, where India reduced the home side to 271 for 7 but conceded another 116 runs for the final three wickets. While Jamie Smith (51) was a recognised batter at the crease at the time, Brydon Carse (56) was England's No. 8 batter. Carse not only scored a half-century but also added 32 runs for the last two wickets with Archer and Bashir to help England finish the innings at a strong total of 387.

Why Akshay Kumar Became The Unlikely Scapegoat In India's Lord's Test Defeat
On a gloomy Day 5 at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground, India's hopes of pulling off a historic chase crumbled under pressure. Needing just 193 runs to seal the third Test against England, India folded for 170—losing seven wickets for just 70 runs in a dramatic final session. The loss has not only intensified questions about India's middle-order fragility but also sparked an unusual online storm—with Bollywood star Akshay Kumar once again in the crosshairs. As cameras panned across the Lord's stands during India's collapse, they caught a glimpse of Akshay Kumar seated with wife Twinkle Khanna and former India coach Ravi Shastri. At that point, India was struggling at 100/7—and within moments, social media exploded. The hashtag #Panauti began trending as fans humorously (and harshly) blamed Akshay for India's downfall. Some pointed to a bizarre coincidence: Akshay Kumar was present in Dubai during India's 10-wicket loss to Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup, and at Leeds during India Women's World Cup final defeat. Now, with India collapsing at Lord's, the pattern felt too eerie for many fans to ignore. Social Media Turns on 'Canada Kumar' X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with memes and satire. One user shared a viral clip from Phir Hera Pheri with the caption: 'Sala tu hi sabse bada panauti hai.' Another quipped, 'He was in Dubai, Leeds, and now London. Someone please check his passport!' A particularly viral tweet read: 'Canada Kumar strikes again. When Akshay shows up, wickets fall faster than Housefull sequels.' While some laughed off the superstition, others were genuinely frustrated. 'If he truly supports the team, he should support them from home,' wrote another user. India's Chase: Hope, Then Collapse On the pitch, Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy attempted a brief resistance after early wickets, but the damage had already been done. England's seamers kept probing the off-stump channel and were rewarded handsomely. Once Jadeja fell to a sharp outswinger, the tail crumbled quickly. India, chasing a modest 193, was bowled out for 170, handing England a series-saving win. This collapse not only dented India's momentum in the series but also exposed deep flaws in the team's approach in pressure situations. Akshay Kumar's Viral Presence Overshadows Cricketing Debate It's worth noting that several celebrities, including Sonam Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, and others, were in London this week, attending Wimbledon 2025. Yet it was Akshay Kumar's appearance at Lord's that drew the most attention. Dressed in a beige blazer, the actor looked relaxed as chaos unfolded on the pitch—a visual that didn't sit well with fans. His wife, Twinkle Khanna, in a soft pink pantsuit, was seen chatting with Shastri—another lightning rod for internet mockery due to his past coaching tenure. While fans initially admired the power couple's presence, the tide quickly turned once India began losing wickets. From Silver Screen to Superstition: Is It Fair? Akshay Kumar's fandom spans generations, and his box office appeal remains strong, with recent appearances in Kannappa, Kesari Chapter 2, and Housefull 5. However, his public outings to cricket matches have taken a bizarre turn online—transforming him from a patriotic cheerleader to an alleged 'jinx' in the eyes of frustrated fans. But this pattern of scapegoating a public figure—especially one unrelated to the team—is reflective of deeper fan angst and collective heartbreak more than actual cause-and-effect.
