Controversial Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was trolled by the Yankees' TV announcers when he attended Monday night's home game.
While New York took on the Seattle Mariners, cameras cut to the four-time NFL MVP, who was having an animated conversation with another guest in the suite.
'Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is [at the Yankees game], as a guest of Marcus Stroman,' one of the announcers began, referencing the star pitcher.
'Wonder what he's talking about right there?' a second commentator chimed in.
'Could be anything.'
Aaron Rodgers was the target of some light trolling at Monday's Yankees game

The commentators seemed to be trolling Rodgers' infamous spate of controversies.
As fans would recall, he didn't get the COVID-19 vaccine and misled the public about it, he regularly spouts conspiracy theories about UFOs, and has shown his support for independent presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In fact, the 40-year-old was on a shortlist of potential candidates to run alongside Kennedy in the upcoming election - and even contemplated quitting football for the job.

Rodgers spent nearly all of the past NFL season on the bench after tearing his Achilles tendon
The Yankees commentators also dragged Rodgers for not paying attention to the game, conceding he was probably 'glancing' at the TV screen.
Earlier in the day, he was seen participating in the Jets' organized team activities (OTAs).
In one social media post, Rodgers slung a perfect pass to wideout Garrett Wilson, who sprinted his way in for a touchdown.
The signs are already positive for Rodgers - who missed all but four plays of the previous season due to a nasty Achilles tear.
Just four snaps into his career as a Jet, the quarterback went down and didn't return to the field last season.
The Jets will open their preseason on August 10 with a home game against the Washington Commanders, before they take on the New York Giants on August 24.
They open their regular season on the road on Monday Night Football against the reigning NFC champions - the San Francisco 49ers.
