aaron Rogers joining the Steelers actually make them more interesting with a Oh it does it does it does yeah but no no let me tell what Here’s why I find that to be interesting aaron Rodgers is an eccentric but he’s not a fool and I think he knows a but so much he can get away with of there like he’s going to say some he says all that stuff and does it when and where he can get away with it i think he knows he can’t get away with it up there and and I think this is a big thing i think Aaron Rogers cares a lot about what we think and the way it went with the Jets back in the day that’s when somebody retires like that’s the end of it he has made the decision yeah he’s made the decision he’s not going out like this look no the list of quarterbacks who didn’t go out like that is incredibly short it is basically Roger Stalach John Elway and in a lesser degree Philip Rivers but like even Pton Manning walked out with a ring but boy did he look terrible got Brock Osweiler yeah Tom Brady tom Brady had a nice little end because they had that the game against the Rams where he threw for a million yards but Stafford and Cup got him at the end yeah you’re right it’s small though it’s small man like you chasing boxers most of them go out like just they they they try to hit for one more lick right just try to get another chance and they go out there and they get it and so he makes them more interesting because every the stakes are so high for everybody you know there’s the legitimately fair case of you keep making the playoffs but you don’t win playoff games though I think making the playoffs of some of these rosters has been incredible enough like it’s got like Marvin Lewis you didn’t win a playoff game with Andy Dalton and it’s like “Say that again like I feel like you you’re going to get to the bottom of this right before I even have to say a word if you just say that one more time so no we’re we’re going to see what this is cuz the other thing too and you look you know actual football way better than I do you could put together a nice little package of Aaron Rogers plays from last year that look like Rogers the back half of the season he was kind of all right uh and I I I I do think the fact that he cares so much about making this work it does make it a little bit more interesting um but man I still look at them and see like Baltimore like how do you staple well they did beat Baltimore one time last year and then once I got to like the actual games that mattered they got stampeded so I don’t know they’re they’re just kind of interesting plays because I I do think I agree with you there’s still some clips from last year where Aaron Rogers still looks pretty good um but I I don’t know he’s 41 now we going to find out if Lamar Jackson he he been on a Rocky montage off season like this would be the year right you know what I’m saying like running heels everything else like this is after they stole that MVP from him last year like I don’t know how much he cares about that but I don’t think we talked nearly enough about the fact that they literally gave Josh Allen MVP or they gave Lamar Jackson first team all one of them didn’t deserve it you can’t make the argument that they both did right one of them did not it is Lamar Jackson the kind of petty to be like “Huh?” That’s what made me so damn mad how is the MVP not going to be a first team all pro look let me tell you something man my father is 88 years old and he doesn’t really follow this stuff as much as he used to i can only imagine if this were 15 20 years ago and Lamar Jackson was the first team AllPro but they gave the MVP to Josh Allen he’d have been up in arms like he was that day when they turned on Monday Night Football and they thought Jefferson Street Joe Gillian was gonna be starting and instead it was Terry Bradshaw it would have been marching in the streets it was absurd hey that’s that’s uh that’s kind of how I felt when I heard Matt Ryan’s name get called when I was like I was like 13 years old when they made that pick i was like “Hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up i thought we were going to run this thing back when Mike got out of jail.” No oh you Oh you thought that that’s what I thought at the time that’s what I thought at the time i was like “Let’s go take Dar McFaten let’s take Derek McFaten go to rush for 3,000 yards when he gets out of jail next year.” I had never considered that anybody would have thought that you would just hold on till Mike got back i never thought that that was a possible scenario no no i mean that was the as someone in their 30s sounds pretty stupid but at 12 or 13 that was genius yo shout out to your pops for letting you live that dream cuz I just stomped on that like
