Jordan Rodgers - Bachelorette 12 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #5

Jordan got a broadcasting career before JoJo got her hosting gig?! Yikes. He really does hold all the power here. I take it JoJo will have to move wherever home base is for his "career" now. Blah. Hopefully JoJo gets something out of this too.

Exactly! The guy I know who's an analyst for ESPN got the job because was a successful quarterback in the NFL. He didn't have an "in" with ABC. As the saying goes it's not necessarily what you know but who you know   JMO

Strange bedfellows . Don't forget the other magic word, Aaron Rodgers' little bro . This whole thing is sounding like a quarterback sneak.

For her sake, I hope JoJo knew about this before she took him to F1.

I believe Jordon is well known in the SEC conference where he played sports at Vanderbilt.  Everything he did after college with sports and TV gigs surely helped build his resume.  He has proven he is capable of handling TV, he knows the sports and has connections in sports, hence his involvement in Manning Camp etc.  SEC Network covers collegiate sports and I think he is well-suited for this job.  Props to Jordon.

SEC is in the south eastern portion of the US primarily and includes Texas, so maybe he and JoJo can live in Texas.

Gets something other than BBJ? I get it and agree. I hope she gets whatever media job or hosting she wants also. She must be really happy for her guy too though, she seems to me like a very selfless and giving partner.

Actually wouldn't this be an awesome opportunity as a new couple, parties, events, travel, lots of sports event.  They would make a lovely couple in the media world.  Boy, did Jordon ever luck out!  

^^^Yes! Congrats to Jordan and Jo!!

anyone can give me a few pack of GRAVOL please?

The sausage doesn't taste nearly as good when you know how it is made. This sausage show would be in trouble if most of the viewers knew how it was made, IMO.

I agree Mini. They have huge followings and will be such a lovely couple in the media world. :cutesmile!:

So the ESN date was really his dry run. (IMO)

He was the starting quarterback for one year. On the wiki page they made sure to note he was Aaron Rodgers brother. Jordan needed four things to get the broadcasting job. Former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers brother, on air appeal, and his appearance on the Bachelorette JMO
