We’ve now reached the portion of the waiting for Aaron Rogers part of the calendar in which others must answer questions about his imminent arrival or his presence not being present. And that’s going to piss off some people. Not Mason Rudolph, though. Mason’s taken the high road and he he’s looking all Uncle Rico showing up. um you know showing off his arm right like the like Uncle Rico back in the day pre pre-white Lotus and um yeah same actor by the way and um by the way also played Shawn and Martin if you remember he was in okay Martin filmography conversation worked at the radio station um no relation to Mason Rudolph it just looks like him right now Mason Rudolph who’s been through it man has he been through it right I remember backing up Ben Loft. He’s he’s had he’s been in media scrums before, right? Miles Garrett related and um you know also taking over for Mitchell Trabiscy related and playing uh starting a playoff game for the Steelers related. So, you know, he’s been through it. Now it’s the hey, you’re back with the Steelers and what do you think about Aaron Rogers coming to take your job and many Steelers fans on pins and needles to know is he coming because maybe some people don’t trust you, Mason, to do the job. I mean, these are all I it’s just it’s just not great for Mason Rudolph to be in this position, but he handled it very well. This is what he had to say about him. That’s nothing new to me. I’ve I’ve I’ve there’s been constant noise. That that is the nature of the NFL. So I I am been used to that for a long time now. I’m do nothing but um you know be the best I can be and and and help our team help our team get better this spring. Have you been in touch with Aaron at all? I have not. No, I have not. Yeah, I called him yesterday. Hey, man. Hey, so when are you coming? No, no, it’s like No, you just ask about any retreats, you know? Yeah. Do you want to go see some pyramids? Is it dark where you’re at? How’s Austin? It’s just, you know, and everyone’s going to be asked about it. Everyone’s going to be asked about it. And that includes those who may not take the high road cuz they’re out of Fs to give, which is where the uh good folks in Pittsburgh, PA, are on 103.7. The buzz. The bus found Terry Bradshaw, a man man with zero Fs left in the tank and has had things to say about Aaron Rogers in the past. So you know where this comment is coming from. Terry was asked about the Steelers. Listen, this very unsteelers like thing. We’ve me mentioned it over and over again. where they’re just waiting for one guy to say, “I will play for you.” Remember Cameron Hayward on his pod basically said, “We’re the Pittsburgh Steelers.” Then we had him on our show and we’re like, “You sound pissed off.” He’s like, “I am not pissed off.” I’m like, “No, no, no. You sound pissed off about it. I am not.” He swore he wasn’t. He’s just basically saying, “Hey, we’re, you know, we don’t have to recruit.” Yeah. We’re the Pittsburgh Steelers. You’d be you’d be lucky to be the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Steelers are basically like saving the spot like you know Mason Rudolph showing up in in grade school asking is this seat taken like yeah by who? Somebody who’s not here and you’re like wait a minute I can’t sit in this seat. No, I’m saving it for my BFF. Where’s your BFF? Not here. They’re coming. like this doesn’t sound like the Pittsburgh Steelers and that’s why some people might be pissed off waiting for Aaron Rodgers and that includes Terry Bradshaw. What do you think about possibly Aaron Rogers being the quarterback? That’s a joke. He should they that is just to me is a joke. What are you going to do? Bring him in for one year? Are you kidding me? I mean that’s not the Steelers way, right? No, man. That guy needs to stay in California and go somewhere and chew on bark and and whisper to the gods out there. 100%. I had to go over and introduce myself to him. He he’s not I had to go, “Hey, hey, Aaron. I’m Terry Bradshaw. I know he knows me, but I just felt like I better tell him who I am.” Yeah. And not you know, you walk in there and you get in his presence and you feel like it’s going to start snowing. So, all right. So you’re you speak Bradshaw, right, Mike? I imagine 100%. Uh if he says it starts snowing, does that mean that he it’s a chilly reception? Is that what that means? Yes. Chew on bark. Thank you. Somewhere and she won’t bark. That’s our new drop. Okay, guys. I think if you disagree with anybody here, just turn to Delto and ask him to hit the new drop somewhere and won’t bark. That’s it. Like when I keep bringing up sodto, you you know what I mean? Hey Mike, thank you. Somewhere and she won’t bark. There you go. I may eat some bark today. That’s the whole point to just first let let me just defend Aaron Rogers for a quick second. Yeah, I’m I’m going to do this. You know, and and I would say this to Terry. Uh if here he spends a lot of time in California. Do you know anybody who does in fact chew on bark? I have not. I’ve been here almost 16 years. I have not met a single person who eats bark. I don’t. Have you met anybody who chews on bark? Eats bark. Squirrels like it. Well, I mean, you you’re the only lunatic I know that hand feeds a squirrel. You know, you’re the only guy I’ve ever worked with wondering if you’re up to your rabies shots. Uh, have you met anybody who who chews on bark here in California? Not in California. Oh, so around the world you’ve met a bark chewer just there is bark that you can’t. So, chew on bark is where it comes from. You know, uh, we we at the Rich Eisen Show, we have found the reason why Terry is using this, uh, this this phrase. I think he’s promoting his new oneman show in Branson, Missouri. Live in Branson, Terry Bradshaw’s Go Chew Bark. There it is. Get your tickets now. A Smitch special straight from Smitch’s computer somewhere and chew bark. Go Chew Bark in Branson, Missouri. Uh, I think it’s a one night only thing. One night only. I think you got to get your tickets now. Yeah. Selling selling fast. Here it is. Dark. Go choose a bark and whisper with the gods, says Terry Bradshaw. Now you know how we handle these things on this program. Just fight. No. Throw trash at No, we we don’t chew bark either, even though apparently that’s what we do here in California. Hit them with a kendo stick. Uh, no. We always sit here and wonder how will this manifest itself in the playing season? How will it manifest itself? What does this mean for when the Pittsburgh Steelers put toe to football to kick their season off and of all places Metife Stadium against the Jets, meaning the NFL believes the Steelers are going to have Aaron Rogers as their starting quarterback. Otherwise, there are many other choices for the league to place in front of all of us to put the Pittsburgh Steelers in to start the season. Many spots at home. As you know, the NFC North is on their schedule. As you know, they also play the rest of the AFC East. That includes Buffalo. There’s all of the Steelers dynamite games in division. They chose the Jets. The Jets. Yeah. The NFL believes Aaron Rodgers is going to once he’s done bark chewing and god whispering show up to the Pittsburgh Steelers. You’re not an accident. And until he does, he will hear from old school Steelers and old school Steeler fans alike saying, “We don’t want you. We don’t need you if you’re not here sweating with us in late May.” And that’s the thing potentially that he may have to be dealing with come training camp if he shows up. And are some of these veterans not going to be welcoming him with open arms? I would profer to say um they will when he shows that at some point he will show and they will look at him and say welcome the Steelers and see how he handles things from that point forward. That’s it. And will the fact that he’s not throwing and Mason Rudolph is throwing in these voluntary workouts going to be the difference in week one say in New Jersey of him connecting with DK Metaf or say Roman Wilson if he is in fact healthy enough to go. You see where I’m going with this? At some point he’s going to show up. I’m telling you guys, he’s dropping too many breadcrumbs. I do not know why he’s not there yet. I don’t know. The only thing that I know right now, two things. The NFL and the Steelers believe he’s showing and his latest breadcrumbs certainly prove that point. And two, we have a new great drop. Thank you. and she won’t bark. That’s it. Those aren’t breadcrumbs. Those are bark shavings that he’s bark shavings. That’s it. Honestly. Honestly. And and and we’re we’re going to talk about it cuz at some point someone else is going to pop off or you know we’ll hear from Tomlin and he’ll be like I’m only talking about the guys that are here. Mason Rudolph’s doing great. You know Mason handled it. It’s next point he’s going to be speaking. What What will Cameron Hayward say when there is a microphone in front of his face? It’s July 26th. That’s the date. It’s training camp. Yeah, it’ll happen before that. Or it’ll be a great moment at the American Century Championship when Rogers is out there in his golf clothes playing golf and he’ll be like, “What are you doing?” Maybe he’ll maybe he’ll just drop it to some local reporter who he likes. I don’t know. But it’s going to happen. Until then though, man. Chew on bark and tickets available apparently for his oneman show. Let’s go in Branson, Missouri. One night only. One night only. Terry Bradshaw’s gochu bark. And uh I guess there’s Rogers. Maybe that’s where he’ll show up. Maybe he’ll make that announcement sitting in uh you know, crisscross applesauce.

Here's how stupid the Steelers are: The Jets record in 2023 with Zach Wilson starting was 4-7 , a 36% winning percentage. Their record in 2024 with Aaron Rodgers starting was 5-12 , a 29% winning percentage! Zach Wilson did better than Rodgers for God's sakes! And Rodgers had BOTH Garrett Wilson AND Devonte Adams! Would Pittsburgh be excited to have Zach Wilson as their starting QB this season? Of course not! So why in the HELL do they want Rodgers? Makes no sense whatsoever. Get it into your heads Pittsburgh – he's not that Super Bowl winning guy anymore. He wasn't in Green Bay his last couple of seasons either. OMG are they thick-headed! The only one that ever pulled off a Super Bowl at that age was the GOAT Tom Brady. Rodgers is no Tom Brady.
People forget Rodgers took a ring away from Pittsburg
Those things don’t go away
The steelers would be desperate to get rodgers 😂😂😂 dudes washed af
Terry Bradshaw is still mad at Aaron for being anti-vax. I love Terry, have watched him since I was a little kid, but Terry is a shell of his former self and he is losing it.
Well Rich, the Steelers have the best coach of all time so it doesn’t matter who is quarterback. Tomlin will find a way to go 9 and 8.
Huh?!🤔 A_Aron going to burst Son Rudolph’s bubble.
I wish that Mason Rudolph would have told the Steelers to eff themselves and not signed. They have treated him like garbage…Tomlin will find another way to screw him.
Everyone actually living in Pittsburgh wants Mason Rudolph, at least he wants to play.
Eisen is so disgusting. Always an apologist for decadence and rot in the sports' world. Everybody nose…
The Steelers trying to tank this season or what?
Bradshaws track record for running his mouth isn’t very good
I will be rooting for all Steeler opponents to beat them in every game…have been a Steeler fan since 1961.
I don't need a 'tiny hat' to interpret sports' reality either.
atm i got the steelers going 3-14 / 5-12 and jets/fields are winning week 1.
Steelers should tank for Arch Manning.
He’s being called a snowflake ❄️
Totally understand the “Steelers don’t recruit” and “come sweat with us” thing and I’m a Louisiana / Bradshaw guy, but all the “science denier,” corporate driven hate towards ARod over the past few years makes me hope he goes to Pitt and looks incredible one last time.
Will Howard is the future and mason 3-0 with 3 tds 0 ints
Bradshaw isn't even appreciated in Steelers country even though he won superbowls. No one speaks of him with affection. We Only speak of Big Ben. Bradshaw has no credibility. Big Ben said he would like to see Rodgers there so Howard could benefit. Even Rodgers has said it is good to learn behind someone. Ben's words carry more weight for me than Bradshaw.
Would love to hear less about Rodgers and Sanders.
I am just completely sick of hearing Rich talk about Aaron. It's seems to be nothing but a diminishing sports caster talking about a washed up quarterback. It is sad what Rich has become.
I cannot believe they did not make any 'Chewbacca' references
Aaron's bark is worse than his bite
Uncle Rico also played
Ben's father on Lost.
Rich, i think when Terry says chew on bark and whisper to Gods he's referring to Aaron's eating the mushrooms or iawaska or whatever it is, and Terry doesn't know that world so he said like that.
Terry Bradshaw is not a fan of Aaron Rodgers possibly joining the Steelers……. Neither is Most Steelers fans. AR is an over the hill, washed up, major Diva the Steelers don’t need. It’s time to move on!
Cinnamon is from bark, gimme some cinnamon buns!
Chewing on bark is clearly a reference to Awaka, which did not happen in California, but Central or South America I believe- so you can feel confident about your California home state and also give Bradshaw some room for his rhetoric 😉 ✌️
Admittedly he’s one of the greatest to ever do it, but for him to be this high and mighty, and to miss the chemistry you build with rookies during this period, that’s just delusion.
Hey, this is the new and improved Mason Rudolph with a stylish mustachio. 😄
I thought the Jets were scheduled in week 1 because of FIELDS — not Rodgers.
It's truly impossible to discern who the biggest idiot in this equation is – Bradshaw, Rodgers, the average Steelers fan, or the sports media?
The dude has been honest from start. Didn't tell anyone to wait on him. Bunch of buffoons have nothing else to talk about. Joy taylor is an onlyfans tool.
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and have been a Steeler fan all my life. I have zero, zero , zero desire to see Aaron Rodgers as a Steeler….. I’d rather see us go 7-10 than to bring that spoiled narcissist anywhere near our facility…..he’s a jerk and as Bradshaw says a joke….
Do not trust the media, but it is necessary, and free too since like the beginning. Rodgers can pay all the games he wants, but Pittsburg is at the mercy of poor Rodgers. Good! Football is a team sport and if Rodgers sucks he will never hear the end of it. Good for Rodgers and good for the Steelers. Media not ws but Aaron is playing this card and all the power to him. Could be it is a Swan Song…
This isn't worth talking about. AR and the Steelers ironed this out months ago. And they are also comfortable with MR. Boring but true.
Steelers, once proud franchise is really sitting in limbo waiting for this ding dong? Other teams are organized and working out while he might play for the steelers? Maybe? Lol!
Also Bradshaw is a clown. He's embarrassed himself on TV for decades.
Meanwhile Purdy was already in the building a week ago without a contract.
I don’t even have to know all the details of the conversation to know that I’m going to decide with Terry Bradshaw over Aaron Rodgers. Every single day of the week.
Aaron "Chewbarka" Rodgers
