00:01:38,628 --> 00:01:41,748
Speaker 2: Hey, Kyle, just because you are the OG on this show,

36
00:01:41,828 --> 00:01:43,588
Speaker 2: any advice for breaking in two rookies?

37
00:01:44,548 --> 00:01:47,748
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, just Isaiah's going to talk NonStop about the cowboys.

38
00:01:47,788 --> 00:01:48,508
Speaker 3: Just tune that out.

39
00:01:48,668 --> 00:01:50,348
Speaker 1: Tune that out is it's going to be cowboys here

40
00:01:50,348 --> 00:01:53,908
Speaker 1: and cowboys there. So just do you be yourself. So

41
00:01:53,948 --> 00:01:57,028
Speaker 1: sorry we offended our guests today. We have like the

42
00:01:57,068 --> 00:02:00,228
Speaker 1: worst the craft services. It's dry cereal and granola bars.

43
00:02:00,268 --> 00:02:02,468
Speaker 1: I hope you found something palatable to put in there.

44
00:02:02,828 --> 00:02:04,748
Speaker 2: By the way, I was thinking about that, I was

45
00:02:04,828 --> 00:02:07,188
Speaker 2: devouring my eggs this morning. I was like, David must

46
00:02:07,188 --> 00:02:10,148
Speaker 2: have some real issues going to any restaurant. But nonetheless

47
00:02:10,788 --> 00:02:12,828
Speaker 2: he has caffeinated ready to rock and roll. But there

48
00:02:12,908 --> 00:02:15,268
Speaker 2: is some news around the league that we need to

49
00:02:15,308 --> 00:02:17,708
Speaker 2: go and get the full details on. No one better

50
00:02:17,748 --> 00:02:21,188
Speaker 2: to discuss this than one of our insiders in Rapaport

51
00:02:21,268 --> 00:02:21,548
Speaker 2: is with us.

52
00:02:21,548 --> 00:02:22,628
Speaker 3: He and always get to have you, Bud.

53
00:02:22,708 --> 00:02:25,348
Speaker 2: All right, finally a done deal in the Steel City.

54
00:02:25,388 --> 00:02:27,188
Speaker 2: Give me the details on Aaron Rodgers, who all of

55
00:02:27,188 --> 00:02:29,108
Speaker 2: a sudden is Mike Tomlins new QB one.

56
00:02:29,428 --> 00:02:30,308
Speaker 4: Oh he sure is.

57
00:02:30,628 --> 00:02:33,548
Speaker 6: Finally, for the first time in months, we can stop

58
00:02:33,708 --> 00:02:37,108
Speaker 6: wondering who is going to be the Steelers quarterback? Over

59
00:02:37,188 --> 00:02:40,708
Speaker 6: this weekend we got an answer. It is firm, final

60
00:02:40,868 --> 00:02:45,388
Speaker 6: and official. Aaron Rodgers passed his physical in Pittsburgh has

61
00:02:45,428 --> 00:02:48,708
Speaker 6: in fact signed his contract. That is the picture of

62
00:02:48,788 --> 00:02:52,508
Speaker 6: him right there signing his contract. So no more questions

63
00:02:52,548 --> 00:02:56,108
Speaker 6: about will he or won he? He now has Aaron

64
00:02:56,148 --> 00:02:58,988
Speaker 6: Rodgers the starting quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers. We also

65
00:02:59,068 --> 00:03:01,708
Speaker 6: got some details on his contract. That is a one year,

66
00:03:02,108 --> 00:03:07,028
Speaker 6: thirteen point sixty five million deal ten million dollars guaranteed,

67
00:03:07,028 --> 00:03:09,468
Speaker 6: which is an important number. That's what Rogers said publicly

68
00:03:09,788 --> 00:03:12,188
Speaker 6: he'd be willing to pay for so at the minimum

69
00:03:12,308 --> 00:03:13,668
Speaker 6: he is going to walk away.

70
00:03:13,388 --> 00:03:15,428
Speaker 4: With ten million dollars. Really not a bad deal.

71
00:03:15,628 --> 00:03:16,668
Speaker 3: For the Pittsburgh Steelers.

72
00:03:16,668 --> 00:03:19,348
Speaker 6: Really, anyone bringing on a veteran quarterback this time of

73
00:03:19,468 --> 00:03:22,348
Speaker 6: year or any time of year, Rogers can earn up

74
00:03:22,428 --> 00:03:26,148
Speaker 6: to nineteen point five million dollars at its max. That

75
00:03:26,228 --> 00:03:30,588
Speaker 6: includes six point five million dollars in playtime incentives. So

76
00:03:30,748 --> 00:03:33,588
Speaker 6: that's the deal. It is an accomplished quarterback. It is

77
00:03:33,628 --> 00:03:36,828
Speaker 6: a Hall of Fame caliber quarterback who's healthier than he's

78
00:03:36,908 --> 00:03:40,788
Speaker 6: been in the last two years, at a very very

79
00:03:41,068 --> 00:03:43,868
Speaker 6: low price. Kind of trying to follow in the footsteps

80
00:03:43,908 --> 00:03:44,468
Speaker 6: of Tom.

81
00:03:44,308 --> 00:03:45,868
Speaker 4: Brady and Peyton Manny and John.

82
00:03:45,788 --> 00:03:48,468
Speaker 6: Lway, guys who took low salaries late in their career

83
00:03:48,708 --> 00:03:50,388
Speaker 6: to try to go finally.

84
00:03:49,988 --> 00:03:50,908
Speaker 4: Win the big one.

85
00:03:51,108 --> 00:03:54,028
Speaker 6: We will see if Rogers and the Steelers follow suit.

86
00:03:54,108 --> 00:03:55,868
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you look at the last couple of season,

87
00:03:55,868 --> 00:03:58,508
Speaker 2: the last two seasons ten million for Aaron Rodgers. We

88
00:03:58,548 --> 00:04:01,508
Speaker 2: know Russell Wilson was on a very friendly deal. Justin fields.

89
00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:04,548
Speaker 2: They seem to be able to fill in that quarterback spot.

90
00:04:04,588 --> 00:04:06,348
Speaker 3: Some good value in terms of price.

91
00:04:06,548 --> 00:04:09,268
Speaker 2: More details and some more news from you Ian coming

92
00:04:09,348 --> 00:04:11,548
Speaker 2: up in just a bit. But I do start thinking

93
00:04:11,588 --> 00:04:13,668
Speaker 2: to myself it was a lady's only addition of Good

94
00:04:13,668 --> 00:04:17,308
Speaker 2: Morning Football last week, Kyle got some much deserve time down.

95
00:04:17,348 --> 00:04:19,588
Speaker 2: But Kyle, you know when an Aaron Rodgers news sort

96
00:04:19,588 --> 00:04:22,068
Speaker 2: of hits, you start to think to yourself, like, what's

97
00:04:22,148 --> 00:04:24,988
Speaker 2: Kyle Brandt doing? Like you probably were so jacked up

98
00:04:25,028 --> 00:04:27,348
Speaker 2: for today first bite of the apple Man. What do

99
00:04:27,388 --> 00:04:29,988
Speaker 2: you make of the move that we candidly like speculated

100
00:04:30,068 --> 00:04:31,028
Speaker 2: was going to happen for a while?

101
00:04:31,228 --> 00:04:33,188
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for the question, and I did enjoy

102
00:04:33,188 --> 00:04:34,308
Speaker 1: the shows last week very much.

103
00:04:34,308 --> 00:04:35,868
Speaker 3: At the end of the week I was watching at.

104
00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:40,028
Speaker 1: Home, the Rogers news landed oddly for a couple different reasons. One,

105
00:04:40,388 --> 00:04:42,908
Speaker 1: if you were paying attention online, the Rogers news broke

106
00:04:42,988 --> 00:04:44,948
Speaker 1: as maybe the two most powerful people in the world

107
00:04:44,948 --> 00:04:47,148
Speaker 1: were having a slap fight online, and the Rogers thing

108
00:04:47,268 --> 00:04:50,348
Speaker 1: was this aside to it. But second, also I wasn't surprised.

109
00:04:50,388 --> 00:04:52,748
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone was surprised. No one was wondering.

110
00:04:52,828 --> 00:04:54,868
Speaker 1: We all knew this was going to happen eventually. He

111
00:04:54,948 --> 00:04:56,548
Speaker 1: was never going to be viable to go with any

112
00:04:56,548 --> 00:04:59,308
Speaker 1: of their options, So it wasn't this bomb show. It

113
00:04:59,348 --> 00:05:02,228
Speaker 1: was more of a finally than a surprise. And I

114
00:05:02,228 --> 00:05:04,668
Speaker 1: remember when I heard the news when it was officially happening,

115
00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,828
Speaker 1: and I just said, Okay, the Steelers are now on

116
00:05:06,948 --> 00:05:10,468
Speaker 1: the clock for one day in January of twenty twenty six,

117
00:05:10,508 --> 00:05:12,388
Speaker 1: when we'll see if this is worth it. And my

118
00:05:12,508 --> 00:05:15,228
Speaker 1: point is they're going to make the playoffs with Rogers.

119
00:05:15,628 --> 00:05:17,988
Speaker 1: I think they would have made the playoffs without Rogers.

120
00:05:18,228 --> 00:05:21,468
Speaker 1: They always make the playoffs. The question will be will

121
00:05:21,508 --> 00:05:24,428
Speaker 1: they win a playoff game with Rogers?

122
00:05:24,668 --> 00:05:25,868
Speaker 3: Not even a super Bowl.

123
00:05:26,108 --> 00:05:28,788
Speaker 1: This is a huge success if Rogers and the Steelers

124
00:05:28,788 --> 00:05:32,348
Speaker 1: win a wild card game, because it's wildly different than

125
00:05:32,348 --> 00:05:33,708
Speaker 1: what we're looking at right here.

126
00:05:33,548 --> 00:05:36,388
Speaker 3: Which is Rogers on the Jets. Totally different.

127
00:05:36,588 --> 00:05:40,148
Speaker 1: Remember, Steelers fans basically have a trust fund. If you

128
00:05:40,188 --> 00:05:42,668
Speaker 1: grew up a Steelers fan, you were a rich Nepo

129
00:05:42,788 --> 00:05:45,148
Speaker 1: baby of a sports fan, you've had a great Jets

130
00:05:45,188 --> 00:05:48,388
Speaker 1: fans are standing around a barrel fire with fingerless gloves

131
00:05:48,388 --> 00:05:49,268
Speaker 1: trying to stay warm.

132
00:05:49,308 --> 00:05:50,628
Speaker 3: It's a totally different thing.

133
00:05:50,788 --> 00:05:54,228
Speaker 1: So the Steelers fans expect they're not impressed with Rogers

134
00:05:54,308 --> 00:05:55,268
Speaker 1: like the Jets fans were.

135
00:05:55,468 --> 00:05:56,908
Speaker 3: They won't be impressed.

136
00:05:56,508 --> 00:05:58,308
Speaker 1: If you merely get to the playoffs like the Jets

137
00:05:58,348 --> 00:06:00,748
Speaker 1: fans would have been. I'll put it this way, nine

138
00:06:00,788 --> 00:06:03,308
Speaker 1: to eight without a wild card win for the Steelers

139
00:06:03,788 --> 00:06:06,388
Speaker 1: is just the same as five and twelve for the Jets.

140
00:06:06,468 --> 00:06:10,148
Speaker 1: It's nothing. Nothing. You have to win in the playoffs

141
00:06:10,308 --> 00:06:12,908
Speaker 1: or it's totally forgotten. Mason Rudolph could have gotten the

142
00:06:12,908 --> 00:06:16,108
Speaker 1: Steelers to the playoffs. So Aaron Rodgers is this first

143
00:06:16,148 --> 00:06:17,868
Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Fame messiah.

144
00:06:18,108 --> 00:06:19,188
Speaker 3: That's only half true.

145
00:06:19,348 --> 00:06:22,708
Speaker 1: This will be all about one day in January of

146
00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:26,228
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six and whether Rodgers finally delivers a playoff

147
00:06:26,228 --> 00:06:29,108
Speaker 1: when if he doesn't, then it's completely pointless than anybody

148
00:06:29,148 --> 00:06:30,428
Speaker 1: could have done this for Pittsburgh.

149
00:06:30,468 --> 00:06:31,308
Speaker 3: You're absolutely correct.

150
00:06:31,508 --> 00:06:31,908
Speaker 4: That's the thing.

151
00:06:31,948 --> 00:06:34,028
Speaker 5: That's the reason why they brought him here. They brought

152
00:06:34,108 --> 00:06:36,908
Speaker 5: him to Pittsburgh to win in the playoffs. Mike Thomains

153
00:06:36,908 --> 00:06:38,588
Speaker 5: never had an issue going to the playoffs. We know

154
00:06:38,668 --> 00:06:41,348
Speaker 5: that has been highly spoken about. But you brought up

155
00:06:41,988 --> 00:06:44,228
Speaker 5: Mason Rudolph. Let's talk about Mason Rudolph and some of

156
00:06:44,268 --> 00:06:46,268
Speaker 5: the other guys that Mike Tomlin has had at the

157
00:06:46,308 --> 00:06:50,868
Speaker 5: quarterback position. He's had Mitch Trubisky, he's had Mason Rudolph,

158
00:06:50,908 --> 00:06:53,228
Speaker 5: he had Justin Fields, and Russell Wilson he had and

159
00:06:53,308 --> 00:06:55,468
Speaker 5: now he Kenny Pickett. He had Kenny Pickett in there.

160
00:06:55,628 --> 00:06:58,748
Speaker 5: None of those guys are even remotely air Rodgers. Maybe

161
00:06:58,908 --> 00:07:01,068
Speaker 5: we could talk about, you know, Russell Wilson back in

162
00:07:01,108 --> 00:07:03,268
Speaker 5: the day, but Russell Wilson of today and what he

163
00:07:03,308 --> 00:07:05,868
Speaker 5: had last year is not of the statue of Aaron Rodgers.

164
00:07:05,948 --> 00:07:08,028
Speaker 5: This guy can still play. And I know wheer we.

165
00:07:08,068 --> 00:07:09,988
Speaker 4: Talk about Aaron Rodgers, we talked about the old.

166
00:07:09,868 --> 00:07:11,708
Speaker 5: Times when he was that guy, he was winning, so

167
00:07:11,708 --> 00:07:13,908
Speaker 5: he won a Super Bowl, all those things. This guy

168
00:07:13,948 --> 00:07:15,868
Speaker 5: can still sling it. Don't forget the fact that this

169
00:07:15,988 --> 00:07:17,908
Speaker 5: dude still went out there and went twenty eight and

170
00:07:17,948 --> 00:07:20,308
Speaker 5: eleven last year, twenty eight touchdowns, eleven turnovers.

171
00:07:20,348 --> 00:07:20,988
Speaker 4: But let's not talk.

172
00:07:20,868 --> 00:07:22,548
Speaker 5: About Let's not forget about the fact that this dude

173
00:07:22,548 --> 00:07:25,308
Speaker 5: came off of an achilles tear and he still found

174
00:07:25,348 --> 00:07:27,028
Speaker 5: a way, at the age of forty years old to

175
00:07:27,068 --> 00:07:28,588
Speaker 5: come out there and take care of business.

176
00:07:28,708 --> 00:07:29,748
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the fact that.

177
00:07:29,788 --> 00:07:31,828
Speaker 5: This dude went out there and put up more touchdowns

178
00:07:31,988 --> 00:07:34,268
Speaker 5: than majority of the rest of the NFL quarterbacks in

179
00:07:34,268 --> 00:07:36,228
Speaker 5: this league. I think he was the sixth best quarterback

180
00:07:36,268 --> 00:07:39,668
Speaker 5: overall in terms statistics, in terms of touchdowns. So this

181
00:07:39,708 --> 00:07:42,188
Speaker 5: is somebody who's coming in not only who is legendary,

182
00:07:42,228 --> 00:07:44,788
Speaker 5: not only somebody who is an absolute beast at the position,

183
00:07:44,908 --> 00:07:46,388
Speaker 5: but somebody who can still.

184
00:07:46,308 --> 00:07:47,108
Speaker 4: Slang the rock.

185
00:07:47,188 --> 00:07:48,948
Speaker 5: And now you put him on a team that has

186
00:07:48,988 --> 00:07:51,068
Speaker 5: a solid offensive line. Now you put him him on

187
00:07:51,108 --> 00:07:53,108
Speaker 5: a team that has a solid defense, a team that

188
00:07:53,868 --> 00:07:55,428
Speaker 5: always had an established running game.

189
00:07:55,588 --> 00:07:57,268
Speaker 4: And now he has a DK Metcalf.

190
00:07:57,428 --> 00:08:00,468
Speaker 5: Now he has a Calvin Austin or Robert Woods. He

191
00:08:00,548 --> 00:08:02,748
Speaker 5: has a trifecta of receivers out there that he could

192
00:08:02,748 --> 00:08:05,708
Speaker 5: distribute the ball out to. Because last year everybody talks

193
00:08:05,708 --> 00:08:08,188
Speaker 5: about just his second half of the season, Well it

194
00:08:08,268 --> 00:08:10,868
Speaker 5: wasn't just about when DeVante Adams got there. Prior to that,

195
00:08:10,908 --> 00:08:12,508
Speaker 5: he was throwing the ball to Garrett Wilson, who was

196
00:08:12,508 --> 00:08:14,508
Speaker 5: trying to get his legs underneath them like Bambi. And

197
00:08:14,548 --> 00:08:17,308
Speaker 5: then DeVante Adams comes on and they start getting in sync.

198
00:08:17,508 --> 00:08:19,948
Speaker 5: He has a trifective receivers, he has a solid old line,

199
00:08:20,028 --> 00:08:22,708
Speaker 5: has a solid defense. This is what Pittsburgh needs to

200
00:08:22,708 --> 00:08:24,348
Speaker 5: get the job done. We all knew it was going

201
00:08:24,388 --> 00:08:25,988
Speaker 5: to be happening, but now it's official.

202
00:08:26,268 --> 00:08:29,508
Speaker 4: Well, I just don't know if the Steelers going to

203
00:08:29,588 --> 00:08:32,548
Speaker 4: change the entire offense for Rodgers right. He wants to

204
00:08:32,748 --> 00:08:35,828
Speaker 4: have complete control, So I just don't know. It's hard

205
00:08:35,828 --> 00:08:38,628
Speaker 4: for me to root for the Steelers down oh, I

206
00:08:38,628 --> 00:08:40,708
Speaker 4: can't root for Rodgers, so it's hard for me. And

207
00:08:40,748 --> 00:08:41,588
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens.

208
00:08:41,788 --> 00:08:43,948
Speaker 2: I think, David, he make a really good point though

209
00:08:43,948 --> 00:08:46,028
Speaker 2: about changing this offense. And Kyle, I don't know if

210
00:08:46,068 --> 00:08:48,068
Speaker 2: you were charting every single game throughout the course of

211
00:08:48,068 --> 00:08:48,508
Speaker 2: the season.

212
00:08:48,548 --> 00:08:49,588
Speaker 3: We just ran a graphic.

213
00:08:50,028 --> 00:08:52,868
Speaker 2: The more I watched the Jets with Aaron Rodgers, the

214
00:08:52,868 --> 00:08:54,988
Speaker 2: more I see him in a shotgun with Arthur Smith.

215
00:08:55,148 --> 00:08:57,348
Speaker 2: There's a heavy run game. It's a lot of under center, Like,

216
00:08:57,868 --> 00:08:59,908
Speaker 2: is this even a good fit? I know it's rose

217
00:08:59,908 --> 00:09:02,108
Speaker 2: colored glasses from listening to my guy Isaia, which is

218
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:03,028
Speaker 2: a little surprising here.

219
00:09:03,068 --> 00:09:04,308
Speaker 3: But Kyle, you buying this fit.

220
00:09:05,028 --> 00:09:05,948
Speaker 4: We could just.

221
00:09:05,908 --> 00:09:08,348
Speaker 1: Copy and paste this conversation when he joined the Jets

222
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:11,028
Speaker 1: and we were all hyping their wide receivers and they're

223
00:09:11,108 --> 00:09:13,508
Speaker 1: running back and we were so thrilled about the weapons.

224
00:09:13,908 --> 00:09:16,268
Speaker 3: I like the fits. Sherry's Rogers. He's going to find

225
00:09:16,268 --> 00:09:16,908
Speaker 3: a way to fit.

226
00:09:17,148 --> 00:09:18,988
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that I always like when people

227
00:09:19,028 --> 00:09:21,588
Speaker 1: outside the football world come and talk about Rogers, especially

228
00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:24,348
Speaker 1: so David you were mentioned it's hard for you to

229
00:09:24,428 --> 00:09:24,868
Speaker 1: root for him.

230
00:09:24,868 --> 00:09:26,668
Speaker 3: You can't root for him. Do tell tell us why

231
00:09:26,708 --> 00:09:27,508
Speaker 3: we listen?

232
00:09:27,588 --> 00:09:29,508
Speaker 4: I mean, I lived in New York for twenty five years,

233
00:09:29,508 --> 00:09:31,228
Speaker 4: and if I was going to root for a suffering team,

234
00:09:31,268 --> 00:09:32,988
Speaker 4: it would be the New York Jets. So I saw

235
00:09:33,028 --> 00:09:36,348
Speaker 4: what happened. Many of my friends are close Jets fans,

236
00:09:36,388 --> 00:09:40,388
Speaker 4: and I just listen. Here's the thing. I think this

237
00:09:40,468 --> 00:09:43,628
Speaker 4: year everything is going against him, Tomlin, everything's on the line.

238
00:09:43,628 --> 00:09:45,188
Speaker 4: I think they're sort of playing with house money. They

239
00:09:45,188 --> 00:09:47,228
Speaker 4: have nothing to lose. So as much as I'm rooting

240
00:09:47,308 --> 00:09:49,868
Speaker 4: against them, I think it might be their year two.

241
00:09:49,948 --> 00:09:52,068
Speaker 5: Okay, so what were some of the things that you

242
00:09:52,108 --> 00:09:54,548
Speaker 5: guys liked as Jets fans that you guys liked about

243
00:09:54,548 --> 00:09:56,788
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers and and where did he fall short in

244
00:09:56,868 --> 00:09:58,668
Speaker 5: EU opinion as a Jets fan.

245
00:09:58,708 --> 00:10:00,268
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, there's nothing good about being a

246
00:10:00,308 --> 00:10:03,988
Speaker 4: Jets fan. Okay, there you go. You know it was

247
00:10:04,028 --> 00:10:05,948
Speaker 4: a lot of promise, There was a lot of hope

248
00:10:06,068 --> 00:10:07,188
Speaker 4: and none of it was delivered.

249
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:09,308
Speaker 5: Yeah, you think a lot of that feel on Aaron

250
00:10:09,348 --> 00:10:11,508
Speaker 5: Rodgers shoulders. Do you think just collectively with the Hey

251
00:10:11,548 --> 00:10:14,348
Speaker 5: coaching situation and the team as it kind of collapsed.

252
00:10:14,428 --> 00:10:16,508
Speaker 5: Where do you think that that Blaine whatever, that that

253
00:10:16,548 --> 00:10:19,228
Speaker 5: Blaine kind of lies in regards to that, because Aaron

254
00:10:19,268 --> 00:10:21,708
Speaker 5: Rodgers is still a run He towards achilles obviously in

255
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,548
Speaker 5: Game one, came back the next year, it was still

256
00:10:23,548 --> 00:10:25,588
Speaker 5: able to put up, you know, really relatively good numbers

257
00:10:25,588 --> 00:10:25,908
Speaker 5: for him.

258
00:10:26,148 --> 00:10:28,308
Speaker 4: Well, at some point you have to burden some of

259
00:10:28,348 --> 00:10:30,628
Speaker 4: the responsibility and that was just not the narrative that

260
00:10:30,628 --> 00:10:32,428
Speaker 4: I was coming out of the Jets headquarters.

261
00:10:32,668 --> 00:10:34,708
Speaker 2: Well, and look, you also got to be healthy there,

262
00:10:34,788 --> 00:10:36,988
Speaker 2: and that's something that Jets fans know. They didn't get

263
00:10:36,988 --> 00:10:39,348
Speaker 2: to see Aaron Rodgers except for most of last season,

264
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:42,188
Speaker 2: completely healthy. But you're coming off of an achilles injury.

265
00:10:42,268 --> 00:10:44,388
Speaker 2: There's going to be some issues there. Meanwhile, we bring

266
00:10:44,428 --> 00:10:48,308
Speaker 2: back our insider, I Rappaport. I know you have some pressing.

267
00:10:48,828 --> 00:10:51,468
Speaker 2: It may be not news, but some significant questions.

268
00:10:51,868 --> 00:10:55,708
Speaker 6: No, we have some significant news for the Green Bay Packers.

269
00:10:56,188 --> 00:11:00,948
Speaker 6: Sources say they have informed Pro Bowl cornerback Jair Alexander

270
00:11:01,028 --> 00:11:04,828
Speaker 6: of his release that is expected to take place today.

271
00:11:04,948 --> 00:11:06,708
Speaker 4: So after an off season.

272
00:11:06,868 --> 00:11:10,708
Speaker 6: Of wondering and discussions and some trade talks, the Packers

273
00:11:10,708 --> 00:11:14,508
Speaker 6: are in fact moving on from Jaiere Alexander. Remember this

274
00:11:14,588 --> 00:11:16,828
Speaker 6: has been one that has been up and down, back

275
00:11:16,868 --> 00:11:18,908
Speaker 6: and forth for the last several months, actually the last

276
00:11:18,908 --> 00:11:21,468
Speaker 6: several years. Alexandre, a Pro Bowl one of the more

277
00:11:21,508 --> 00:11:25,028
Speaker 6: talented quarterbacks in the NFL, has battled some injury issues

278
00:11:25,268 --> 00:11:29,228
Speaker 6: over the last couple of years. Last year particularly frustrating one.

279
00:11:29,388 --> 00:11:33,428
Speaker 6: This obvious season, the two sides agreed to explore potential trade.

280
00:11:33,628 --> 00:11:38,068
Speaker 6: That trade did not happen before the draft, and so

281
00:11:38,108 --> 00:11:40,388
Speaker 6: at that point they discussed the potential pay cut of

282
00:11:40,428 --> 00:11:43,948
Speaker 6: restructured contracts, could not agree to terms on that either.

283
00:11:44,308 --> 00:11:46,348
Speaker 6: In the end, the Green Bay Packers op for a

284
00:11:46,508 --> 00:11:49,228
Speaker 6: clean break. They are moving on and now one of

285
00:11:49,268 --> 00:11:52,748
Speaker 6: the more talented corners in the NFL expected to be

286
00:11:52,788 --> 00:11:53,948
Speaker 6: available today.

287
00:11:54,188 --> 00:11:56,268
Speaker 3: Kyle, what are you making the news? Well, it's just

288
00:11:56,268 --> 00:11:58,308
Speaker 3: the big deal. I love that Ian brought this to us.

289
00:11:58,428 --> 00:12:01,068
Speaker 3: Remember this is a born and bred Packer.

290
00:12:01,148 --> 00:12:03,068
Speaker 1: This is a first round pick who's played his entire

291
00:12:03,108 --> 00:12:06,708
Speaker 1: career there, who's been All Pro twice. No trade, He's

292
00:12:06,788 --> 00:12:12,308
Speaker 1: just sitting there like Alexander couldn't be had. Is apparently healthier, healthy,

293
00:12:12,508 --> 00:12:16,228
Speaker 1: and now completely motivated. This is to say that I'm

294
00:12:16,268 --> 00:12:18,948
Speaker 1: surprised that a player this good would just be released,

295
00:12:19,348 --> 00:12:20,548
Speaker 1: no trade value at all.

296
00:12:20,668 --> 00:12:23,668
Speaker 3: Nothing that fascinated behind us, Ian, can you get back?

297
00:12:23,948 --> 00:12:26,908
Speaker 3: You can we bring in back in? Is there? Ian?

298
00:12:27,148 --> 00:12:29,908
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated that it's just a straight release and now

299
00:12:29,908 --> 00:12:31,508
Speaker 1: he's just sitting there. Can you give us a little

300
00:12:31,508 --> 00:12:33,148
Speaker 1: bit of background of why it had to come to that.

301
00:12:33,188 --> 00:12:35,308
Speaker 1: I know they couldn't reach the number, but no trade either.

302
00:12:35,908 --> 00:12:39,588
Speaker 6: Yeah, they the Packers obviously wanted a trade, right, I mean, look,

303
00:12:39,948 --> 00:12:41,588
Speaker 6: bringing back was always a possibility.

304
00:12:41,588 --> 00:12:43,148
Speaker 3: They did offer a reduced deal.

305
00:12:43,188 --> 00:12:46,548
Speaker 6: But the number fifteen point three million, I believe is

306
00:12:46,588 --> 00:12:50,228
Speaker 6: the number for Jaiira Alexander again, really talented, excellent player

307
00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:52,468
Speaker 6: when he's on the field, has been off the field,

308
00:12:52,868 --> 00:12:55,268
Speaker 6: probably too much to the Packers liking the last couple

309
00:12:55,308 --> 00:12:58,388
Speaker 6: of years. They wanted a trade, but the problem is

310
00:12:58,868 --> 00:13:01,868
Speaker 6: that salary they just couldn't get. Couldn't come to terms

311
00:13:01,908 --> 00:13:04,388
Speaker 6: with anyone on a draft pick compensation.

312
00:13:05,188 --> 00:13:05,428
Speaker 4: You know.

313
00:13:05,788 --> 00:13:08,268
Speaker 6: Brendant Dudecauz to Geral manager was pretty upfront and saying

314
00:13:08,268 --> 00:13:09,708
Speaker 6: he was willing to move on as long as he

315
00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:10,268
Speaker 6: could get.

316
00:13:10,148 --> 00:13:11,228
Speaker 3: Something in the end.

317
00:13:11,388 --> 00:13:11,748
Speaker 4: Could not.

318
00:13:12,268 --> 00:13:14,988
Speaker 6: Business is business, it is what it is. A clean

319
00:13:15,068 --> 00:13:17,868
Speaker 6: break for JayR Alexander for the Packers. And you know

320
00:13:18,148 --> 00:13:19,788
Speaker 6: he gets what he wants too. If it wasn't going

321
00:13:19,828 --> 00:13:22,348
Speaker 6: to make the same salary with the Packers, wanted a

322
00:13:22,388 --> 00:13:25,708
Speaker 6: new team, new salary, new guaranteed money.

323
00:13:25,948 --> 00:13:27,788
Speaker 4: He is getting exactly that right now.

324
00:13:28,548 --> 00:13:30,828
Speaker 2: So a little bit of a void in that secondary

325
00:13:30,828 --> 00:13:33,148
Speaker 2: from me Green Bay perspective. And I know you'll have

326
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:35,148
Speaker 2: a little bit more news for us later here on

327
00:13:35,188 --> 00:13:37,348
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football, but there's still plenty more to come.

328
00:13:37,348 --> 00:13:39,348
Speaker 2: And yeah, we'll dip back into the bucket of Aaron

329
00:13:39,668 --> 00:13:41,868
Speaker 2: Rodgers and the fit in the Steel City what do

330
00:13:41,948 --> 00:13:43,508
Speaker 2: we make of it? In fact, we're going to bring

331
00:13:43,548 --> 00:13:45,988
Speaker 2: in our guy, former Steeler and our friend of the show,

332
00:13:46,228 --> 00:13:46,908
Speaker 2: Willie Cologn.

333
00:13:46,988 --> 00:13:48,348
Speaker 3: Kyle's going to be stopping by with us.

334
00:13:48,668 --> 00:13:50,708
Speaker 1: Will He always has Steelers takes, he has everything takes.

335
00:13:50,708 --> 00:13:52,708
Speaker 1: We could talk Jayre with him too. I mean, are

336
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:56,028
Speaker 1: the Bears going to sign Jerre Alexander today, the Lions

337
00:13:56,108 --> 00:13:57,628
Speaker 1: or the Biking Somebody just go get him?

338
00:13:57,668 --> 00:13:57,988
Speaker 4: Why not?

339
00:13:58,508 --> 00:14:01,668
Speaker 1: Plus, this is the most important thing, not Rogers, not Alexander.

340
00:14:01,708 --> 00:14:05,668
Speaker 1: It's sandwiches, That's right. Which NFL city has the best sandwiches?

341
00:14:05,708 --> 00:14:08,108
Speaker 1: You just heard me ask that question. We have our

342
00:14:08,148 --> 00:14:10,748
Speaker 1: expert here. David's gonna tell us, he says, every time

343
00:14:10,748 --> 00:14:13,068
Speaker 1: he talks about this topic, people want to draw swords.

344
00:14:13,388 --> 00:14:15,948
Speaker 1: Is that the best sandwich in NFL city or is

345
00:14:15,948 --> 00:14:17,268
Speaker 1: it maybe somewhere else.

346
00:14:17,308 --> 00:14:20,068
Speaker 3: We'll get into it. We always do fun football and food.

347
00:14:20,108 --> 00:14:21,228
Speaker 3: It's GMFB on a Monday.

348
00:14:21,348 --> 00:14:34,828
Speaker 7: Let's go good Monell, welcome back to Good Morning Football.

349
00:14:35,028 --> 00:14:37,228
Speaker 3: He saw the news, you know the news. Aaron Rodgers

350
00:14:37,348 --> 00:14:40,108
Speaker 3: is a Pittsburgh Steeler. It's surreal, but it is happening.

351
00:14:40,148 --> 00:14:42,508
Speaker 1: And for that, we go to a perspective of a

352
00:14:42,508 --> 00:14:44,428
Speaker 1: former Steeler and a current friend of the show.

353
00:14:44,628 --> 00:14:46,588
Speaker 3: It's Willy Colong. Willie, what's up, man? You got us?

354
00:14:46,828 --> 00:14:48,228
Speaker 8: I'm good.

355
00:14:48,868 --> 00:14:50,148
Speaker 3: It's great to see you. As always.

356
00:14:50,148 --> 00:14:52,148
Speaker 1: You've been in this very room with me in this chair,

357
00:14:52,148 --> 00:14:55,308
Speaker 1: and we talked a few weeks ago. Rogers, Steelers, Steelers,

358
00:14:55,348 --> 00:14:58,748
Speaker 1: Rogers was all just kind of guessing and thinking it's real.

359
00:14:58,788 --> 00:15:00,628
Speaker 1: Now he signs, he's going to be in the jersey

360
00:15:00,748 --> 00:15:03,228
Speaker 1: number eight as a former Steeler. How do you feel

361
00:15:03,228 --> 00:15:03,668
Speaker 1: about him?

362
00:15:04,428 --> 00:15:05,748
Speaker 8: I'm glad it's over one.

363
00:15:06,028 --> 00:15:08,268
Speaker 9: I didn't want this thing to carry on into training

364
00:15:08,308 --> 00:15:10,228
Speaker 9: camp because I felt it was going to be a distraction.

365
00:15:10,788 --> 00:15:13,348
Speaker 9: But if you're a still a fan, you have two choices. Hey,

366
00:15:13,428 --> 00:15:15,988
Speaker 9: you could be rigid and frustrated that you have a

367
00:15:15,988 --> 00:15:18,628
Speaker 9: forty one year old quarterback who comes with baggage and

368
00:15:18,948 --> 00:15:20,988
Speaker 9: seems to kind of, you know, deal with some injuries

369
00:15:21,028 --> 00:15:22,428
Speaker 9: that you know you're not getting the full.

370
00:15:22,308 --> 00:15:23,988
Speaker 8: Anon Rodgers of what you expected when he was in

371
00:15:24,028 --> 00:15:24,988
Speaker 8: the Green Bay uniform.

372
00:15:25,148 --> 00:15:28,188
Speaker 9: However, if you're going to be aggressively optimistic, like I'm

373
00:15:28,228 --> 00:15:30,308
Speaker 9: going to be, you're getting a forty one year old

374
00:15:30,388 --> 00:15:32,988
Speaker 9: quarterback who has a chip on the show. A guy

375
00:15:33,668 --> 00:15:37,428
Speaker 9: last year from an individual standpoint, had comparable stats to

376
00:15:37,548 --> 00:15:41,388
Speaker 9: Josh Allen. Both through for over three thousand, three thousand yards,

377
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:43,028
Speaker 9: both had twenty eight touchdowns.

378
00:15:43,468 --> 00:15:45,308
Speaker 8: Yes, Aaron Rodgers had eleven interceptions.

379
00:15:45,388 --> 00:15:48,508
Speaker 9: Josh Allen had six interceptions and had an MVP type

380
00:15:48,508 --> 00:15:52,468
Speaker 9: season season. Nevertheless, man, if I'm the Steelers right now,

381
00:15:53,148 --> 00:15:55,988
Speaker 9: I'm treating Aaron Rodgers like a hired mercenary, like an

382
00:15:56,028 --> 00:15:57,948
Speaker 9: assassin like John Wick.

383
00:15:58,268 --> 00:16:00,028
Speaker 8: I don't need you to reset the culture.

384
00:16:00,388 --> 00:16:02,868
Speaker 9: I need you to come in, win football games and

385
00:16:02,868 --> 00:16:04,388
Speaker 9: a lay your opponent down and go home.

386
00:16:04,708 --> 00:16:06,748
Speaker 8: That's what I'm expecting out of me. So hopefully he

387
00:16:06,788 --> 00:16:07,508
Speaker 8: can make that happen.

388
00:16:07,628 --> 00:16:09,828
Speaker 2: Well, Willie, look, you had a front row seat for

389
00:16:09,948 --> 00:16:11,908
Speaker 2: Rogers last season, and by the way, I got a

390
00:16:11,908 --> 00:16:13,468
Speaker 2: ton of friends and family that are in that New

391
00:16:13,548 --> 00:16:15,948
Speaker 2: York area. I don't know if it's cash or credit

392
00:16:15,948 --> 00:16:18,468
Speaker 2: card that you accept for your co pays, because on

393
00:16:18,508 --> 00:16:21,588
Speaker 2: the postgame shows, you and Bart Scott obviously got to

394
00:16:21,628 --> 00:16:24,148
Speaker 2: decompress a lot of losses for this team. But there

395
00:16:24,188 --> 00:16:26,588
Speaker 2: was an evolution in Rodgers's play last year. What did

396
00:16:26,628 --> 00:16:29,028
Speaker 2: you see as you watched every single snap that sort

397
00:16:29,028 --> 00:16:32,308
Speaker 2: of showcased like a morphed ability for him to be

398
00:16:32,588 --> 00:16:34,268
Speaker 2: kind of that old school Aaron Rodgers.

399
00:16:34,788 --> 00:16:37,228
Speaker 9: Well, if I was to put in simple terms, and

400
00:16:37,308 --> 00:16:39,428
Speaker 9: I'm going to break it down in this regard, it.

401
00:16:39,348 --> 00:16:40,908
Speaker 8: Goes to good, the bad, and the ugly.

402
00:16:40,948 --> 00:16:43,308
Speaker 9: The good is when he got the training camp, he

403
00:16:43,388 --> 00:16:44,508
Speaker 9: looked hungry and ready.

404
00:16:44,948 --> 00:16:47,428
Speaker 8: He seemed to be in sync with Gatt Wilson.

405
00:16:47,708 --> 00:16:51,028
Speaker 9: They had weapons on the offense, Tyler Conklin, Breise Hall,

406
00:16:51,188 --> 00:16:55,868
Speaker 9: Mike Williams, the office line seeing veteran ready, meaning they

407
00:16:55,908 --> 00:16:58,828
Speaker 9: had Tyron Smith and Morgan mos Capp in that office

408
00:16:58,828 --> 00:17:02,708
Speaker 9: a line, and there was for a second, there was

409
00:17:02,748 --> 00:17:04,108
Speaker 9: a theme in training camp.

410
00:17:04,588 --> 00:17:07,268
Speaker 8: That really that I think people brought.

411
00:17:06,988 --> 00:17:09,708
Speaker 9: Into that the Jets were all in and Anon Rodgers

412
00:17:09,788 --> 00:17:12,348
Speaker 9: was ready to go even though he had that catastrophic injury.

413
00:17:12,588 --> 00:17:15,668
Speaker 8: Now the bad is they weren't ready. I felt Aaron.

414
00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:17,548
Speaker 9: Should have played in the first should have played in

415
00:17:17,548 --> 00:17:19,828
Speaker 9: the preseason. They were ready for Week one against the

416
00:17:19,868 --> 00:17:22,268
Speaker 9: forty nine ers, and they seemed that a seen and

417
00:17:22,388 --> 00:17:25,388
Speaker 9: clunky at times, and the offensive line aged bad. You

418
00:17:25,428 --> 00:17:28,228
Speaker 9: couldn't find Breece Holl on tape, and so different things

419
00:17:28,228 --> 00:17:30,948
Speaker 9: starting to look kind of like, ah, man, maybe we

420
00:17:31,068 --> 00:17:33,748
Speaker 9: kind of overhyped the Jets and then it kind of

421
00:17:33,788 --> 00:17:35,308
Speaker 9: spiraled and went downhill.

422
00:17:35,668 --> 00:17:38,628
Speaker 8: I think the ugly overall is and Kyle, maybe you

423
00:17:38,668 --> 00:17:40,748
Speaker 8: guys have backed me up on this. One day.

424
00:17:40,748 --> 00:17:44,148
Speaker 9: There's going to be a documentary on the conversation Aaron

425
00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:47,508
Speaker 9: Rodgers and Woody Johnson had the night before firing Robert Salad.

426
00:17:47,868 --> 00:17:49,428
Speaker 8: That was the dark cloud.

427
00:17:49,788 --> 00:17:52,988
Speaker 9: And then what led to that was the Vonta Adams.

428
00:17:53,708 --> 00:17:55,508
Speaker 9: Him and Aaron didn't have the connection we thought they

429
00:17:55,508 --> 00:17:58,388
Speaker 9: were going to have. Garrett Wilson and Anon Rodgers seemed

430
00:17:58,428 --> 00:18:01,788
Speaker 9: clunky and not a center. This offensive line aged and

431
00:18:01,868 --> 00:18:05,068
Speaker 9: got hurt, like I said earlier, and then Jeff Oulbrich

432
00:18:05,148 --> 00:18:07,788
Speaker 9: was handed the keys to a team that was really struggling,

433
00:18:08,068 --> 00:18:11,228
Speaker 9: and the car blew up because of defense. The defense

434
00:18:11,308 --> 00:18:14,188
Speaker 9: was supposed to be that kind of anchor from this team,

435
00:18:14,428 --> 00:18:16,668
Speaker 9: and they couldn't stop the run. Teams were averaging over

436
00:18:16,708 --> 00:18:18,668
Speaker 9: one hundred and twenty plus yards on the ground on

437
00:18:18,708 --> 00:18:20,908
Speaker 9: them and they were struggling to get to the quarterback.

438
00:18:21,348 --> 00:18:25,148
Speaker 9: And so as the season went along, Man after Week eight,

439
00:18:25,308 --> 00:18:27,788
Speaker 9: this team looked out of whole. They lack of faith

440
00:18:27,988 --> 00:18:30,708
Speaker 9: and fight and it was all over. And so that

441
00:18:30,908 --> 00:18:33,148
Speaker 9: was kind of the evolution of the season. And like

442
00:18:33,188 --> 00:18:35,748
Speaker 9: I said, from an individual standpoint, Aarons looked like a

443
00:18:35,788 --> 00:18:39,228
Speaker 9: top ten quarterback, but as a team, they just they

444
00:18:39,388 --> 00:18:41,228
Speaker 9: underperformed Big tim.

445
00:18:40,748 --> 00:18:43,148
Speaker 4: My guy Wi Lee. Good to see the big doug Hey.

446
00:18:43,188 --> 00:18:44,908
Speaker 4: We just talked about it a little bit earlier.

447
00:18:44,628 --> 00:18:47,108
Speaker 5: About what Mike Tomlin has had at the quarterback position

448
00:18:47,148 --> 00:18:50,348
Speaker 5: over the years, right, the Kenny Picketts, the Russell Wilson,

449
00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:53,948
Speaker 5: Justin Fields, Mason Rudolph, mister Bisky. He hasn't had a

450
00:18:53,948 --> 00:18:56,588
Speaker 5: lot at that position at least that's been constant and consistent.

451
00:18:56,908 --> 00:19:00,788
Speaker 5: Now you talk about this particular division. Right, you got

452
00:19:00,868 --> 00:19:02,788
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow right, the ice in his veins, we got

453
00:19:02,828 --> 00:19:06,108
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson. You know, you start talkingbout overall on the conference. Okay,

454
00:19:06,828 --> 00:19:09,388
Speaker 5: you got the man, you know, Josh Allen himself. When

455
00:19:09,388 --> 00:19:11,668
Speaker 5: you talk about Aaron Rodgers coming into that building, now

456
00:19:11,668 --> 00:19:14,468
Speaker 5: you've been in there, does that close the gap in

457
00:19:14,548 --> 00:19:17,788
Speaker 5: regards of the AFC picture at the quarterback position? And

458
00:19:17,828 --> 00:19:21,188
Speaker 5: how much does that help Mike Tomlin as a head coach.

459
00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:23,828
Speaker 9: Well, no, it doesn't close the gap, but it narrows it.

460
00:19:24,068 --> 00:19:26,268
Speaker 9: And you got to understand for the second short year,

461
00:19:26,268 --> 00:19:29,348
Speaker 9: the Steelers have a brutal back into the season. And

462
00:19:29,708 --> 00:19:33,348
Speaker 9: I think what's expected considering that Stellers have eight straight

463
00:19:33,388 --> 00:19:36,308
Speaker 9: games and six out of those eight games, those teams

464
00:19:36,308 --> 00:19:39,228
Speaker 9: are expected to be I think ten plus one, ten

465
00:19:39,228 --> 00:19:43,988
Speaker 9: plus win teams. They need a quarterback to compete and

466
00:19:44,068 --> 00:19:46,828
Speaker 9: fight against those other elite quarterbacks. They didn't have that

467
00:19:46,908 --> 00:19:50,348
Speaker 9: last year, especially with Russell Wilson. So they're expecting Aaron Rodgers,

468
00:19:50,428 --> 00:19:52,668
Speaker 9: even at his right age of forty one, to go

469
00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:55,348
Speaker 9: on the field and do the damn thing because of

470
00:19:55,388 --> 00:19:58,028
Speaker 9: his expertise and what his resume looks like. Now, can

471
00:19:58,108 --> 00:19:59,708
Speaker 9: he get that done. And I think that's what Mike

472
00:19:59,748 --> 00:20:02,708
Speaker 9: tom is counting on because I think last year, as

473
00:20:02,748 --> 00:20:05,748
Speaker 9: much as we want to dis this steel the offense,

474
00:20:06,148 --> 00:20:07,988
Speaker 9: it was really the Steelers defense.

475
00:20:07,668 --> 00:20:10,748
Speaker 8: That's struggled, and so they one way you can help.

476
00:20:10,588 --> 00:20:13,548
Speaker 9: A struggling defense is having a quarterback that could put

477
00:20:13,588 --> 00:20:15,548
Speaker 9: it put up numbers in the offense that you can

478
00:20:15,628 --> 00:20:16,708
Speaker 9: kind of balance out the team.

479
00:20:16,948 --> 00:20:18,668
Speaker 8: And I think that's what Mike Thomas was expecting.

480
00:20:19,028 --> 00:20:22,228
Speaker 4: Willie Dave Chang here big fan listen as a as

481
00:20:22,228 --> 00:20:24,428
Speaker 4: a fan, I know nothing really about the exce's and

482
00:20:24,668 --> 00:20:27,828
Speaker 4: of the sport, but I do understand culture and building

483
00:20:27,868 --> 00:20:30,548
Speaker 4: an organization, and that word gets thrown on a lot

484
00:20:30,988 --> 00:20:34,108
Speaker 4: in sports. How important is it in the Steelers rocker room?

485
00:20:34,148 --> 00:20:37,308
Speaker 4: And do you think Tomlin will have any issues with Rogers?

486
00:20:37,748 --> 00:20:40,428
Speaker 9: You know, I like the combination of Aaron and Mike,

487
00:20:40,468 --> 00:20:42,428
Speaker 9: and I think most people are like worry about the

488
00:20:42,468 --> 00:20:45,988
Speaker 9: personality clashes, and I'm not because they're bound by fate

489
00:20:46,428 --> 00:20:48,268
Speaker 9: and I think when you talk about them right now,

490
00:20:48,308 --> 00:20:49,628
Speaker 9: it's about time and pression.

491
00:20:50,068 --> 00:20:51,628
Speaker 8: They're both in that category.

492
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:54,228
Speaker 9: Considering Aaron Rodgers forty one years old, this is his

493
00:20:54,388 --> 00:20:57,108
Speaker 9: final app Mike Tomland had tot won a playoff game

494
00:20:57,148 --> 00:21:00,388
Speaker 9: since twenty sixteen. One thing is going to be interesting

495
00:21:00,428 --> 00:21:03,908
Speaker 9: because valid we understand Mike Tomlan knows how to handle

496
00:21:04,508 --> 00:21:08,268
Speaker 9: know how to handle conflict personalities. The issue right now

497
00:21:08,508 --> 00:21:11,708
Speaker 9: is how does Arthur Smith and Aaron Rodgers get along?

498
00:21:11,908 --> 00:21:14,508
Speaker 9: Because we know Aaron Rodgers likes freedom at the light

499
00:21:14,588 --> 00:21:17,348
Speaker 9: of scrimmage. We know he likes his veteran receivers to

500
00:21:17,428 --> 00:21:20,388
Speaker 9: adjust on the fly. How much leeway will he get.

501
00:21:20,628 --> 00:21:21,508
Speaker 8: I'm not worried.

502
00:21:21,308 --> 00:21:23,708
Speaker 9: About Mike Tomon and Aaron Rodgers. I think both guys

503
00:21:23,708 --> 00:21:27,028
Speaker 9: respect each other. And if Aaron honestly didn't like Mike Tomo,

504
00:21:27,068 --> 00:21:30,028
Speaker 9: if they were anything there, he wouldn't be a Pisburs Steeler.

505
00:21:30,108 --> 00:21:32,588
Speaker 9: Right now, I'm more worried about what does Arthur Smith

506
00:21:32,588 --> 00:21:35,068
Speaker 9: and Aaron Rodgers look like and how does that kind

507
00:21:35,068 --> 00:21:38,068
Speaker 9: of manifest into hopefully a good relationship where we can

508
00:21:38,108 --> 00:21:41,068
Speaker 9: see Aaron Rodgers grow within the offense and Arthur Smith

509
00:21:41,268 --> 00:21:42,708
Speaker 9: and his office continue to thrive.

510
00:21:43,148 --> 00:21:45,428
Speaker 4: Do you think Arthur Smith is happy that he's got Rogers.

511
00:21:46,108 --> 00:21:47,948
Speaker 9: I think right now he's happy that he has a

512
00:21:48,028 --> 00:21:50,028
Speaker 9: consistent guy. I think he has a guy he doesn't

513
00:21:50,028 --> 00:21:51,588
Speaker 9: have to question. I think there was a lot of

514
00:21:51,668 --> 00:21:54,468
Speaker 9: rumlings about his relationship in Russell Wilson. I think a

515
00:21:54,508 --> 00:21:56,908
Speaker 9: lot of people felt like even when Josh excuse me,

516
00:21:57,028 --> 00:21:57,828
Speaker 9: Justin Fields was that.

517
00:21:57,828 --> 00:22:00,308
Speaker 8: Quarterback, he was treated with kid gloves.

518
00:22:00,348 --> 00:22:02,188
Speaker 9: I think when you have Aaron Rodgers, you can really

519
00:22:02,228 --> 00:22:04,668
Speaker 9: open up the offense and a lot and trust that

520
00:22:04,708 --> 00:22:06,508
Speaker 9: Aaron once again could be Aaron Rodgers.

521
00:22:06,508 --> 00:22:07,628
Speaker 8: There's gonna be points.

522
00:22:07,348 --> 00:22:09,148
Speaker 9: In this season where you're going to need him to

523
00:22:09,148 --> 00:22:11,068
Speaker 9: put them into Katy and I think you have a

524
00:22:11,068 --> 00:22:12,908
Speaker 9: guy because of his resume and what he's done, this

525
00:22:12,988 --> 00:22:15,548
Speaker 9: league has the ability to do that. I think once

526
00:22:15,588 --> 00:22:18,948
Speaker 9: Aaron Rodgers, if he's able to remain healthy and continue

527
00:22:18,988 --> 00:22:20,468
Speaker 9: to grow with the weapons around him, and they get

528
00:22:20,508 --> 00:22:22,748
Speaker 9: a good offensive line and a defensive back of them,

529
00:22:22,788 --> 00:22:25,668
Speaker 9: I think Author Smith is going to genuinely say, hey, man,

530
00:22:25,988 --> 00:22:27,948
Speaker 9: I trust who you are, and I trust what you do.

531
00:22:28,268 --> 00:22:30,268
Speaker 9: Last go get this thing for the better good, and

532
00:22:30,268 --> 00:22:31,708
Speaker 9: that's winning football games.

533
00:22:32,108 --> 00:22:32,468
Speaker 3: Willie.

534
00:22:32,508 --> 00:22:35,908
Speaker 1: I think Steelers fans are fascinating right now because whereas

535
00:22:35,948 --> 00:22:38,508
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Jets fans have felt like

536
00:22:38,548 --> 00:22:40,788
Speaker 1: they fell to their knees and web tiers of joy

537
00:22:40,788 --> 00:22:43,708
Speaker 1: that Rogers chose them. Steelers fans are kind of like,

538
00:22:44,388 --> 00:22:47,108
Speaker 1: I don't know, show me something like to get into

539
00:22:47,148 --> 00:22:49,868
Speaker 1: their heads right now, because I think there's a huge

540
00:22:49,868 --> 00:22:53,228
Speaker 1: faction of them that actually didn't want Rogers or is

541
00:22:53,268 --> 00:22:55,868
Speaker 1: that best kind of epathetic about it? Where do you

542
00:22:55,908 --> 00:22:58,028
Speaker 1: think they're at mentally right now? Knowing that fan base

543
00:22:58,068 --> 00:22:58,668
Speaker 1: as well as you do.

544
00:22:59,148 --> 00:22:59,788
Speaker 8: I mean, they just know.

545
00:22:59,868 --> 00:23:03,708
Speaker 9: I think they're frustrated from this standpoint. They don't have

546
00:23:03,748 --> 00:23:06,908
Speaker 9: a quarterback for the future, and I think they only

547
00:23:06,908 --> 00:23:09,148
Speaker 9: have Aaron Rodgers for the year, So they're kind of like, yeah,

548
00:23:09,188 --> 00:23:12,068
Speaker 9: we got this aging and great quarterback, but we don't

549
00:23:12,068 --> 00:23:14,428
Speaker 9: have somebody we can fall in love with for years

550
00:23:14,428 --> 00:23:20,588
Speaker 9: to come. But I would tell Aaron Rodgers does flat out.

551
00:23:19,228 --> 00:23:21,668
Speaker 8: If the Steller fans will love you, if you give

552
00:23:21,708 --> 00:23:22,588
Speaker 8: them your heart.

553
00:23:22,988 --> 00:23:24,868
Speaker 9: Bottom line, you got to show up and show the

554
00:23:24,868 --> 00:23:27,188
Speaker 9: great infight and respect the city for all the stands

555
00:23:27,228 --> 00:23:29,908
Speaker 9: for there's rich there, rich history there.

556
00:23:30,068 --> 00:23:31,668
Speaker 8: You see the six Super Bowl trophies.

557
00:23:31,908 --> 00:23:33,948
Speaker 9: You know this fan base lives and dies with the

558
00:23:33,948 --> 00:23:36,588
Speaker 9: Pittsburgh Steelers and his culture. One of the things I

559
00:23:36,588 --> 00:23:39,388
Speaker 9: thought Aaron Rodgers did a really good job was last

560
00:23:39,428 --> 00:23:42,388
Speaker 9: year when he arrived in New York. When he first

561
00:23:42,428 --> 00:23:45,268
Speaker 9: arrived in New York, he went to all the basketball games.

562
00:23:45,348 --> 00:23:46,988
Speaker 9: He was all over New York City. He was a

563
00:23:47,388 --> 00:23:50,308
Speaker 9: piece of shaking hands, kissing babies. I would tell him

564
00:23:50,308 --> 00:23:52,788
Speaker 9: to do the same thing in Pittsburgh because I think

565
00:23:52,828 --> 00:23:55,228
Speaker 9: a lot of people are afraid that if things don't

566
00:23:55,268 --> 00:23:58,388
Speaker 9: go right with Aaron Rodgers, that there may be a

567
00:23:58,508 --> 00:24:01,508
Speaker 9: chance that he may become toxic, and that the headlines

568
00:24:01,508 --> 00:24:03,428
Speaker 9: that things make some kind of spiral out of control.

569
00:24:03,908 --> 00:24:04,948
Speaker 8: And so if I'm in and.

570
00:24:05,028 --> 00:24:06,748
Speaker 9: Rodgers do the same thing he did in New York,

571
00:24:06,908 --> 00:24:09,828
Speaker 9: show up, shake hands, kiss babies, have a Kermandy sandwich,

572
00:24:09,908 --> 00:24:12,828
Speaker 9: lapdown in high City, go to a Buco game, you know,

573
00:24:13,108 --> 00:24:15,908
Speaker 9: take care of the terrible towel, treated with respect. It

574
00:24:15,908 --> 00:24:19,428
Speaker 9: really immersed himself into the Pittsburgh culture, and I think

575
00:24:19,468 --> 00:24:21,708
Speaker 9: he'll be fine and then go win some football game

576
00:24:21,748 --> 00:24:23,828
Speaker 9: from the Steelers and they will love them. Like I

577
00:24:23,868 --> 00:24:26,388
Speaker 9: said once again, they will love you if you give

578
00:24:26,428 --> 00:24:27,068
Speaker 9: them your heart.

579
00:24:27,388 --> 00:24:28,068
Speaker 8: Bottom line.

580
00:24:28,108 --> 00:24:29,548
Speaker 2: By the way, it is a little bit easier to

581
00:24:29,588 --> 00:24:31,188
Speaker 2: show up to the Garden when the Knicks are playing

582
00:24:31,228 --> 00:24:35,228
Speaker 2: some good basketball, So that does help that transition for Rodgers.

583
00:24:35,388 --> 00:24:37,988
Speaker 2: That's a better ticket at this point you had mentioned, Hey,

584
00:24:38,028 --> 00:24:40,828
Speaker 2: for Steelers fans that quarterback of the future, it looked

585
00:24:40,828 --> 00:24:42,988
Speaker 2: like last year maybe they had that guy in justin Fields.

586
00:24:43,068 --> 00:24:45,428
Speaker 2: He now goes to Rogers' former team with the Jets,

587
00:24:45,468 --> 00:24:47,388
Speaker 2: they got a new head coach and Aaron Glenn.

588
00:24:47,588 --> 00:24:48,508
Speaker 3: You know this team.

589
00:24:48,588 --> 00:24:51,668
Speaker 2: You're doing this postgame shows, you're watching every single snap.

590
00:24:51,988 --> 00:24:54,788
Speaker 2: How much of an uphill battle is this for Aaron Glenn?

591
00:24:55,588 --> 00:24:56,148
Speaker 8: It's tough.

592
00:24:56,948 --> 00:24:59,348
Speaker 9: It's tough because I think keep going into the building

593
00:24:59,628 --> 00:25:02,428
Speaker 9: trying to set high expectations when you're dealing with a

594
00:25:02,428 --> 00:25:07,108
Speaker 9: locker room. Who really that with Aaron Rodgers and the

595
00:25:07,148 --> 00:25:09,788
Speaker 9: pieces they were able to bring in that they want

596
00:25:09,788 --> 00:25:12,388
Speaker 9: to reset and change the culture, and the Jets are

597
00:25:12,388 --> 00:25:15,868
Speaker 9: going to be perceived in a different life that never happened.

598
00:25:15,908 --> 00:25:18,428
Speaker 9: If anything, it got worse than the gout other and

599
00:25:18,508 --> 00:25:20,668
Speaker 9: so I think he really has to kind of shock

600
00:25:20,828 --> 00:25:23,028
Speaker 9: life back into this locker when the young guy's.

601
00:25:22,908 --> 00:25:25,028
Speaker 8: Like, hey man, we can do this and we can

602
00:25:25,068 --> 00:25:25,748
Speaker 8: do this together.

603
00:25:25,908 --> 00:25:26,068
Speaker 4: Now.

604
00:25:26,108 --> 00:25:28,388
Speaker 9: The first phase of that is he has to get

605
00:25:28,388 --> 00:25:29,628
Speaker 9: this defense back on par.

606
00:25:30,308 --> 00:25:32,188
Speaker 8: They struggled massively in the run game.

607
00:25:32,268 --> 00:25:34,948
Speaker 9: They had no execution as far as getting after the

608
00:25:35,028 --> 00:25:37,748
Speaker 9: quarterback and now, I think largely because they the injury

609
00:25:37,748 --> 00:25:42,148
Speaker 9: to Jermaine Johnson, and so this secondary led by Sauce Gardner.

610
00:25:42,228 --> 00:25:44,708
Speaker 8: Is going to be different because DJ Reid is gone

611
00:25:44,988 --> 00:25:46,508
Speaker 8: as a cop. All the pieces are gone.

612
00:25:46,548 --> 00:25:48,428
Speaker 9: So how can he get this defense back to where

613
00:25:48,428 --> 00:25:50,108
Speaker 9: they need to be so they can compete? Now this

614
00:25:50,188 --> 00:25:53,148
Speaker 9: is supposed to be his strength. We have to see

615
00:25:53,148 --> 00:25:55,908
Speaker 9: this defense come alive and be better. I think offensively,

616
00:25:56,348 --> 00:25:59,988
Speaker 9: I think you have to respect where Justin Fields is trying.

617
00:25:59,748 --> 00:26:02,308
Speaker 8: To make him an old world quarterback. I don't think

618
00:26:02,308 --> 00:26:02,948
Speaker 8: that's who he is.

619
00:26:02,988 --> 00:26:06,788
Speaker 9: I think he comes with instruction, use him, use his athleticism,

620
00:26:07,028 --> 00:26:09,788
Speaker 9: allow him to thrive and run the ball. One of

621
00:26:09,828 --> 00:26:11,388
Speaker 9: the things that pissed me off last year about the

622
00:26:11,428 --> 00:26:13,348
Speaker 9: New York just is that we couldn't find Brice Hall

623
00:26:13,468 --> 00:26:18,188
Speaker 9: on tape, and it was it was aggressively ugly because

624
00:26:18,188 --> 00:26:20,268
Speaker 9: there was times where we just needed things to go

625
00:26:20,628 --> 00:26:22,508
Speaker 9: after a big touchdown, after the.

626
00:26:22,588 --> 00:26:24,108
Speaker 8: Just gave up a big touchdown in the game.

627
00:26:24,548 --> 00:26:27,108
Speaker 9: One way to start momentum is running the ball, and

628
00:26:27,148 --> 00:26:27,948
Speaker 9: we failed to do that.

629
00:26:28,028 --> 00:26:29,228
Speaker 8: And I thought Brice Hall.

630
00:26:30,068 --> 00:26:32,668
Speaker 9: As long as the season went along, it was he

631
00:26:32,828 --> 00:26:36,668
Speaker 9: was disconnected from the offense. So I think Aaron Gilly

632
00:26:36,748 --> 00:26:39,028
Speaker 9: has to get the run game going, get that defense

633
00:26:39,148 --> 00:26:42,188
Speaker 9: back on par and shot confidence into that locker room,

634
00:26:42,228 --> 00:26:44,468
Speaker 9: into this fan base. And I think that's that's a

635
00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:47,708
Speaker 9: that's a better trajectory for the New York Jets moving forward.

636
00:26:48,228 --> 00:26:50,748
Speaker 5: All right, Well, there's no chance that we're gonna have

637
00:26:50,868 --> 00:26:53,668
Speaker 5: one of the best chefs in the world sitting at

638
00:26:53,668 --> 00:26:56,068
Speaker 5: our table. Come on, and I know that you consider

639
00:26:56,108 --> 00:26:58,508
Speaker 5: yourself probably to be a chef kind of sore, so

640
00:26:58,548 --> 00:27:01,828
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have give you the opportunity to ask missus David,

641
00:27:01,868 --> 00:27:03,948
Speaker 5: do you have any any hot takes about food?

642
00:27:03,988 --> 00:27:05,868
Speaker 4: Do you have your best dish that you do? Go

643
00:27:05,868 --> 00:27:07,348
Speaker 4: ahead and throw a throw a question his way.

644
00:27:07,548 --> 00:27:09,188
Speaker 8: Man, I have a lot of things made, David. You

645
00:27:09,228 --> 00:27:12,268
Speaker 8: have a whole another show about killing be a whole

646
00:27:12,308 --> 00:27:12,988
Speaker 8: nother situation.

647
00:27:13,268 --> 00:27:16,868
Speaker 9: But I've read something recently that that's really been bottling

648
00:27:16,948 --> 00:27:21,268
Speaker 9: my mind, considering that tomatoes or fruit, it's ketchup of smoothie.

649
00:27:21,468 --> 00:27:25,868
Speaker 4: Wow, Really, I thought i'd be an expert. I'd ask

650
00:27:25,908 --> 00:27:28,948
Speaker 4: you answer anything you were asking here. It's a ketchup

651
00:27:29,028 --> 00:27:32,028
Speaker 4: is a it's a sauce. It's not as smoothie. That's

652
00:27:32,068 --> 00:27:36,108
Speaker 4: that's ridiculous. I can't even acknowledge that, is it?

653
00:27:36,148 --> 00:27:38,868
Speaker 2: Though, I'm kind of putting this together like I think

654
00:27:38,908 --> 00:27:40,308
Speaker 2: there might be an argument, Well.

655
00:27:40,308 --> 00:27:43,428
Speaker 4: Smoothie doesn't have vinegar and spices in it, and that's

656
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:46,388
Speaker 4: the difference. Yes, you can you.

657
00:27:46,388 --> 00:27:48,508
Speaker 3: Put ketchup on hot dogs. How do you feel about that?

658
00:27:48,708 --> 00:27:50,348
Speaker 4: Well, listen, Chicago.

659
00:27:50,748 --> 00:27:53,588
Speaker 9: I'm not a ketchup on hot hot dog guy. I'm

660
00:27:53,588 --> 00:27:55,788
Speaker 9: more of a mustard based guy. We a little sound crap,

661
00:27:55,828 --> 00:27:57,988
Speaker 9: That's that's how I rolled. But nevertheless, man, you know,

662
00:27:58,028 --> 00:28:01,868
Speaker 9: people like to get weird, Willy.

663
00:28:02,028 --> 00:28:03,068
Speaker 3: That's why you come in here.

664
00:28:03,148 --> 00:28:05,548
Speaker 1: People like to get weird, and that's why we like you.

665
00:28:05,628 --> 00:28:08,108
Speaker 1: That's where the claude. Everybody follow him. He's always got takes.

666
00:28:08,108 --> 00:28:09,348
Speaker 1: Hopefully be back with him soon.

667
00:28:09,988 --> 00:28:12,188
Speaker 2: I'm back here on Good Morning Football. There is nothing

668
00:28:12,228 --> 00:28:13,708
Speaker 2: better than to get a little bit of news and

669
00:28:13,748 --> 00:28:17,188
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans getting some reinforcements in their backfield for

670
00:28:17,188 --> 00:28:17,868
Speaker 2: a little bit more.

671
00:28:17,908 --> 00:28:19,868
Speaker 3: Ian Rappaport has got us covered.

672
00:28:19,908 --> 00:28:23,708
Speaker 6: Hey, and the Houston Texans have agreed to terms with

673
00:28:23,988 --> 00:28:26,548
Speaker 6: Brown's Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb.

674
00:28:27,148 --> 00:28:28,428
Speaker 4: Nick Chubb headed.

675
00:28:28,188 --> 00:28:30,468
Speaker 6: To Houston today, actually probably is already there.

676
00:28:30,828 --> 00:28:33,948
Speaker 4: Gon't to take a physical. Pending this physical.

677
00:28:33,588 --> 00:28:34,908
Speaker 6: Which I assume is going to be fine.

678
00:28:34,948 --> 00:28:36,548
Speaker 4: He did suffer an injury Dan the last year. That

679
00:28:36,588 --> 00:28:37,268
Speaker 4: was a long time.

680
00:28:37,148 --> 00:28:40,108
Speaker 6: Ago, pending the results of this physical. Nick Chubb, the

681
00:28:40,268 --> 00:28:42,508
Speaker 6: long time Brown's running back on the face of the

682
00:28:42,508 --> 00:28:46,548
Speaker 6: Browns franchise, a four time Pro bowler in Cleveland who

683
00:28:46,588 --> 00:28:48,068
Speaker 6: was one of the best running backs over the course

684
00:28:48,068 --> 00:28:51,628
Speaker 6: of the last decade, is expected to land in Houston.

685
00:28:51,668 --> 00:28:53,628
Speaker 6: And this one could have gone a couple different ways.

686
00:28:53,668 --> 00:28:57,028
Speaker 6: Before the draft, the Browns had discussions with Nick Chubb

687
00:28:57,068 --> 00:29:00,108
Speaker 6: about bringing back. Those discussions did not land in a deal.

688
00:29:00,348 --> 00:29:02,548
Speaker 6: They went to the draft, Brown's addressed to position and

689
00:29:02,588 --> 00:29:04,268
Speaker 6: the drafted door was still open, but the Browns to

690
00:29:04,548 --> 00:29:07,548
Speaker 6: dress the position. The Texans did have a running back

691
00:29:07,628 --> 00:29:11,708
Speaker 6: spot alongside Joe Mixon, and now they agreed to terms

692
00:29:11,748 --> 00:29:14,268
Speaker 6: right before a minute to a mini camp with Nick Chubb,

693
00:29:14,588 --> 00:29:17,948
Speaker 6: an incentive lating deal that should be done and finalized

694
00:29:18,188 --> 00:29:18,828
Speaker 6: later today.

695
00:29:18,988 --> 00:29:20,948
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you're gonna face the Texans this year.

696
00:29:20,948 --> 00:29:23,668
Speaker 1: You better be ready to tackle. Those two guys are

697
00:29:23,748 --> 00:29:26,548
Speaker 1: no picnic. They run hard, They run dudes over. That

698
00:29:26,628 --> 00:29:29,388
Speaker 1: is gonna be a really physical team. But Ian speaking

699
00:29:29,428 --> 00:29:31,988
Speaker 1: of picnics. It so happens that now you and I

700
00:29:32,028 --> 00:29:35,068
Speaker 1: are on CV Live this morning, but about twelve hours ago,

701
00:29:35,188 --> 00:29:39,148
Speaker 1: you and I were also together socializing. I witnessed you

702
00:29:39,308 --> 00:29:43,908
Speaker 1: break the Nick Chubb news as you were grilling out

703
00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:46,588
Speaker 1: outside and next to the water. This is a beautiful thing.

704
00:29:47,028 --> 00:29:49,828
Speaker 1: So we have David Chang here, world renowned chef, and

705
00:29:49,908 --> 00:29:52,948
Speaker 1: I have video that's rap sheet making burgers and you're

706
00:29:52,948 --> 00:29:54,948
Speaker 1: gonna see them get smashed. Ian talk us through this,

707
00:29:54,988 --> 00:29:56,548
Speaker 1: and then let's get David Chang's thoughts.

708
00:29:57,068 --> 00:30:01,868
Speaker 6: So right, son, Max smashing the smash burgers really needed

709
00:30:01,908 --> 00:30:04,668
Speaker 6: to get a little bit dinner. But that is up

710
00:30:04,748 --> 00:30:08,868
Speaker 6: one of my new toys, the actual smashing toy, whatever

711
00:30:08,908 --> 00:30:12,708
Speaker 6: it's called. That's a yetty cast iron right there.

712
00:30:12,748 --> 00:30:13,788
Speaker 3: Did a great job there.

713
00:30:14,148 --> 00:30:17,108
Speaker 4: What do you think of my technique? Listen, smash burgers

714
00:30:17,108 --> 00:30:20,028
Speaker 4: are great. They're a wonderful way of developing my ard reaction,

715
00:30:20,148 --> 00:30:22,548
Speaker 4: so that gives it more flavor, more mammy. But the

716
00:30:22,628 --> 00:30:24,828
Speaker 4: question I have is, I don't see any salt on

717
00:30:24,868 --> 00:30:27,748
Speaker 4: those burgers. And you put it on after no.

718
00:30:27,348 --> 00:30:31,548
Speaker 6: No, no, no, We seasoned and salted before. We did a

719
00:30:31,548 --> 00:30:35,108
Speaker 6: little salt, pepper, garlic beforehand. And then right like as

720
00:30:35,188 --> 00:30:37,388
Speaker 6: you were about to eat them, my eleven year old

721
00:30:37,388 --> 00:30:39,308
Speaker 6: son sprinkled a little more on his because he likes

722
00:30:39,308 --> 00:30:41,908
Speaker 6: a little more flavor. So yeah, I would say it

723
00:30:41,948 --> 00:30:44,628
Speaker 6: was a family affair. The brands did an excellent job

724
00:30:44,668 --> 00:30:47,308
Speaker 6: of playing pickleball beforehand and then eating a lot of

725
00:30:47,308 --> 00:30:52,108
Speaker 6: burgers after. It was a glorious evening, and yeah, it's

726
00:30:52,108 --> 00:30:52,748
Speaker 6: pretty awesome.

727
00:30:52,868 --> 00:30:54,668
Speaker 3: So I want more of thoughts from David.

728
00:30:54,668 --> 00:30:58,428
Speaker 1: But I smashed two of the smash burgers, and guys,

729
00:30:58,468 --> 00:31:00,308
Speaker 1: there was a third just sitting there, and I'm like,

730
00:31:00,508 --> 00:31:01,108
Speaker 1: that's embarrassing.

731
00:31:01,188 --> 00:31:03,148
Speaker 3: I can't eat three burgers as a guest.

732
00:31:03,148 --> 00:31:07,468
Speaker 1: But I wanted to David give us, as everybody's.

733
00:31:07,028 --> 00:31:08,908
Speaker 3: Going to try to do the Ian thing where they grill.

734
00:31:09,068 --> 00:31:11,868
Speaker 1: They're they're doing that this summer season, give us something

735
00:31:11,988 --> 00:31:14,348
Speaker 1: like a tip for grilling burgers like that, and then

736
00:31:14,388 --> 00:31:16,348
Speaker 1: give us something that people usually mess up, like what

737
00:31:16,468 --> 00:31:18,348
Speaker 1: is a big faux paw at the grill question?

738
00:31:18,708 --> 00:31:21,708
Speaker 4: Well, the best tip again is seasoning. So I think

739
00:31:21,748 --> 00:31:24,668
Speaker 4: one of the biggest sort of fumbles for grilling in

740
00:31:24,708 --> 00:31:26,988
Speaker 4: general is people just don't put enough salt because they

741
00:31:26,988 --> 00:31:29,428
Speaker 4: don't usually grill, and they forget these little things. I

742
00:31:29,428 --> 00:31:32,348
Speaker 4: don't know if I would preseason. I think that takes

743
00:31:32,348 --> 00:31:33,748
Speaker 4: some of the moisture out of the beef. So you

744
00:31:33,788 --> 00:31:35,148
Speaker 4: want to do it at the last second. That's just

745
00:31:35,188 --> 00:31:38,228
Speaker 4: how I like to do that. And I think one

746
00:31:38,228 --> 00:31:40,548
Speaker 4: of the tips for sure is just they don't wait

747
00:31:40,588 --> 00:31:42,868
Speaker 4: to get the grill hot enough. You have to prepare

748
00:31:42,868 --> 00:31:46,068
Speaker 4: it properly. And it certainly looks like Roperport had a

749
00:31:46,108 --> 00:31:49,188
Speaker 4: properly temp grill. So good job, which is right, baby.

750
00:31:49,308 --> 00:31:50,748
Speaker 2: But I just want to let you guys know, and

751
00:31:50,788 --> 00:31:53,428
Speaker 2: you didn't see this, but David's reaction while we really

752
00:31:53,508 --> 00:31:57,188
Speaker 2: going like just peering into the screen, just making sure

753
00:31:57,228 --> 00:31:59,388
Speaker 2: he's like, is Ian smashing in this at the right

754
00:31:59,708 --> 00:32:01,748
Speaker 2: the right temps of the whole thing. It's it's sort

755
00:32:01,748 --> 00:32:04,348
Speaker 2: of like how Isaiah I imagine watching football games, just

756
00:32:04,388 --> 00:32:05,988
Speaker 2: sitting back going critical of this.

757
00:32:06,588 --> 00:32:10,028
Speaker 5: Adequate pressure on the smashing. No, actually, he can get more.

758
00:32:10,108 --> 00:32:12,348
Speaker 4: I mean, a good smash worker should be almost like

759
00:32:12,348 --> 00:32:13,508
Speaker 4: like two sheets of paper thin.

760
00:32:13,588 --> 00:32:15,868
Speaker 5: Okay, Rap admitted today he said have been smashed a

761
00:32:15,908 --> 00:32:18,988
Speaker 5: little bit. He said said not to but way thinner

762
00:32:19,028 --> 00:32:21,148
Speaker 5: than that. But listen, Kyle said it was delicious. At

763
00:32:21,188 --> 00:32:22,668
Speaker 5: the end of the day. That's all that matters.

764
00:32:22,788 --> 00:32:23,988
Speaker 3: It was, That's all that meted.

765
00:32:24,028 --> 00:32:26,468
Speaker 2: It was good family time, was our little football and

766
00:32:26,508 --> 00:32:29,868
Speaker 2: in the off season we know that Ian is bringing

767
00:32:29,868 --> 00:32:30,348
Speaker 2: it in a.

768
00:32:30,468 --> 00:32:30,748
Speaker 3: There we go.

769
00:32:31,108 --> 00:32:34,508
Speaker 2: We got a little more food conversation here David's ranking

770
00:32:34,548 --> 00:32:49,308
Speaker 2: his top cities as it pertains the sandwiches, good money,

771
00:32:51,508 --> 00:32:51,948
Speaker 2: all right.

772
00:32:51,868 --> 00:32:53,428
Speaker 3: Back here on Good Morning Football.

773
00:32:53,508 --> 00:32:56,308
Speaker 2: You know, one of the polarizing topics when it comes

774
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:58,508
Speaker 2: to NFL cities is not about whether your team wins

775
00:32:58,588 --> 00:32:59,028
Speaker 2: or loses.

776
00:32:59,068 --> 00:33:01,468
Speaker 3: It's about the food in your respective cities.

777
00:33:01,508 --> 00:33:03,468
Speaker 2: There's no one better to have at the breakfast table

778
00:33:03,468 --> 00:33:05,668
Speaker 2: with us than David Chang, Who's going to rank his

779
00:33:05,868 --> 00:33:09,348
Speaker 2: top five NFL football cities And it all comes down

780
00:33:09,348 --> 00:33:10,028
Speaker 2: to the sandwiches.

781
00:33:10,068 --> 00:33:13,548
Speaker 4: Correct, This is true. The sandwich is the great test

782
00:33:13,868 --> 00:33:17,148
Speaker 4: for how great a city is in food. And man,

783
00:33:17,308 --> 00:33:19,588
Speaker 4: I hope my home city of New York does not

784
00:33:19,908 --> 00:33:23,268
Speaker 4: kill me because coming in at number five is New

785
00:33:23,348 --> 00:33:23,868
Speaker 4: York City.

786
00:33:23,988 --> 00:33:26,188
Speaker 8: Yeah, whoa.

787
00:33:27,268 --> 00:33:29,348
Speaker 4: Listen, I love New York. It is always going to

788
00:33:29,388 --> 00:33:32,308
Speaker 4: be my home. But outside of a pastrami sandwich, can

789
00:33:32,348 --> 00:33:36,308
Speaker 4: you say New York really has a sandwich? Right? Listen?

790
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:38,588
Speaker 4: It's delicious. Cast is delicatess and one of the greatest

791
00:33:38,748 --> 00:33:41,148
Speaker 4: places in the world. You might even say a bagel

792
00:33:41,188 --> 00:33:43,668
Speaker 4: on locks, but I don't think a bagel is a sandwich.

793
00:33:44,028 --> 00:33:46,868
Speaker 4: So no, I'm going to New York. Number five and

794
00:33:47,948 --> 00:33:52,188
Speaker 4: don't hate me and number four the Beef, great TV show,

795
00:33:52,748 --> 00:33:57,188
Speaker 4: Great sandwich. It's you can almost like dip it in

796
00:33:57,308 --> 00:33:59,028
Speaker 4: the in the zoo if you want to. It's like

797
00:33:59,068 --> 00:34:02,748
Speaker 4: the best of both worlds. Chicago number four, and I

798
00:34:02,748 --> 00:34:04,948
Speaker 4: will say hot dog is not a sandwich as well,

799
00:34:04,988 --> 00:34:07,748
Speaker 4: but Chicago's got it going on. Probably the most underrated

800
00:34:07,788 --> 00:34:10,268
Speaker 4: and most important food city in America in my opinion.

801
00:34:10,948 --> 00:34:13,348
Speaker 4: Three is one of my favorite places to eat in general.

802
00:34:13,428 --> 00:34:16,948
Speaker 4: New Orleans. You have mufflaanas, you have po boys, you

803
00:34:16,988 --> 00:34:20,348
Speaker 4: have one of the richest, most diverse food cities in America,

804
00:34:20,388 --> 00:34:22,628
Speaker 4: one of the oldest, and you can never go wrong

805
00:34:22,668 --> 00:34:25,588
Speaker 4: in that city. Just one of the great nining destinations

806
00:34:25,588 --> 00:34:27,748
Speaker 4: in America. Coming in a number two and it doesn't

807
00:34:27,908 --> 00:34:30,828
Speaker 4: This pains me to talk about because I'm no fan

808
00:34:31,028 --> 00:34:37,548
Speaker 4: of Philadelphia Philadelphia Eagles, but Philadelphia is truly a wonderland

809
00:34:37,548 --> 00:34:39,908
Speaker 4: of sandwiches really, and as much as I love the

810
00:34:39,988 --> 00:34:42,588
Speaker 4: cheese steak, I think it's the roast pork that is

811
00:34:42,788 --> 00:34:46,668
Speaker 4: the true sandwich of Philadelphia. It's got so much going on,

812
00:34:47,068 --> 00:34:49,668
Speaker 4: but Philly can't go wrong. Also, just so many great

813
00:34:49,668 --> 00:34:52,908
Speaker 4: restaurants in general. And listen, I moved to LA a

814
00:34:52,908 --> 00:34:56,228
Speaker 4: few years ago, and I would be surprised if you

815
00:34:56,268 --> 00:34:59,588
Speaker 4: asked me before I moved here if the number one

816
00:34:59,628 --> 00:35:03,188
Speaker 4: sandwich in America in terms of depth and diversity would

817
00:35:03,228 --> 00:35:07,028
Speaker 4: be Los Angeles because you have, wow, the Mexican influence.

818
00:35:07,028 --> 00:35:10,548
Speaker 4: You have semitas, you got tortes, you also have the pastrami,

819
00:35:10,748 --> 00:35:14,188
Speaker 4: you have canters, You've got langers, you have all kinds

820
00:35:14,228 --> 00:35:16,388
Speaker 4: of things. So by the sheer sort of amount of

821
00:35:16,508 --> 00:35:18,508
Speaker 4: kinds of sandwiches, I'm going to say, Los Angeles.

822
00:35:18,668 --> 00:35:20,508
Speaker 5: Is it bad that I don't know any of those

823
00:35:20,548 --> 00:35:21,628
Speaker 5: sandwiches that you just named?

824
00:35:21,628 --> 00:35:23,588
Speaker 4: Well, we got to go to you. I a wit it.

825
00:35:23,628 --> 00:35:25,068
Speaker 3: Ye value here, let's get it.

826
00:35:26,108 --> 00:35:30,188
Speaker 1: I'm in shock LA having the best sandwich. Like you

827
00:35:30,308 --> 00:35:32,868
Speaker 1: told me that the best live theater is in Cleveland,

828
00:35:33,028 --> 00:35:34,628
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked by that.

829
00:35:34,708 --> 00:35:36,788
Speaker 3: But you're the guy who knows. David.

830
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:39,388
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, there's a lot of people who watch the show

831
00:35:39,388 --> 00:35:41,788
Speaker 1: who are get confused about who is where so there's

832
00:35:41,828 --> 00:35:43,828
Speaker 1: people who think you're in New York right now, and

833
00:35:43,908 --> 00:35:47,388
Speaker 1: security is telling me there's torches outside and they're waiting

834
00:35:47,508 --> 00:35:49,148
Speaker 1: for you to leave, so we.

835
00:35:49,148 --> 00:35:50,308
Speaker 3: Have to get you security now.

836
00:35:50,308 --> 00:35:50,548
Speaker 4: Listen.

837
00:35:50,628 --> 00:35:52,948
Speaker 1: It's like you say, they only got one sandwich, it's

838
00:35:52,948 --> 00:35:55,068
Speaker 1: the pastrami. But it's like, that's like Santah the Bulls

839
00:35:55,108 --> 00:35:56,988
Speaker 1: only have one player and it's Michael Jordan. Like that

840
00:35:57,108 --> 00:35:59,548
Speaker 1: is a hell of a sandwich to only land them

841
00:35:59,548 --> 00:36:00,188
Speaker 1: I number five.

842
00:36:00,428 --> 00:36:04,388
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, Absolutely true, but there's so many good sandwiches

843
00:36:04,468 --> 00:36:06,908
Speaker 4: you're in LA and listen, I love New York citizing,

844
00:36:07,148 --> 00:36:09,388
Speaker 4: but New York really just has the Postroma. Can you

845
00:36:09,468 --> 00:36:10,428
Speaker 4: name another sandwich that?

846
00:36:10,508 --> 00:36:13,628
Speaker 2: But that's the point, though, David. Here, here's the reality

847
00:36:13,908 --> 00:36:15,668
Speaker 2: you don't need to have if you're in New York.

848
00:36:15,708 --> 00:36:18,388
Speaker 2: You can get any sandwich you want in that city.

849
00:36:18,428 --> 00:36:20,468
Speaker 2: That's like the one I miss about home. So it's

850
00:36:20,508 --> 00:36:22,708
Speaker 2: not just about like this identified one. By the way,

851
00:36:22,748 --> 00:36:24,868
Speaker 2: I don't usually take notes when people are speaking during

852
00:36:24,868 --> 00:36:26,148
Speaker 2: the show, I was taking notes, so you had some

853
00:36:26,188 --> 00:36:28,468
Speaker 2: hot takes here. The fact that you said the cheese

854
00:36:28,468 --> 00:36:31,628
Speaker 2: steak in Philadelphia is not like the Marquee sandwich is

855
00:36:31,788 --> 00:36:35,428
Speaker 2: shocking to me, like that is like worldwide with Philadelphia

856
00:36:35,628 --> 00:36:36,548
Speaker 2: is known for I.

857
00:36:36,508 --> 00:36:38,148
Speaker 4: Know it just dawn on me. I forgot about the

858
00:36:38,148 --> 00:36:40,068
Speaker 4: butdega bacon, egg and cheese and New York there is

859
00:36:40,068 --> 00:36:41,508
Speaker 4: two sandwarches my bathroom.

860
00:36:41,548 --> 00:36:43,508
Speaker 2: Oh oh, and by the way, you did throw this out

861
00:36:43,548 --> 00:36:46,388
Speaker 2: here breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Yeah, that is a sandwich

862
00:36:46,468 --> 00:36:48,588
Speaker 2: number one and number two. The best bagels are not

863
00:36:48,668 --> 00:36:50,228
Speaker 2: in New York. As a guy that grew up in

864
00:36:50,228 --> 00:36:52,188
Speaker 2: New Jersey, the best bagels are in New Jersey.

865
00:36:52,468 --> 00:36:54,348
Speaker 3: So I think that's an important.

866
00:36:54,588 --> 00:36:55,908
Speaker 4: That's crazy talk crazy.

867
00:36:56,188 --> 00:36:58,788
Speaker 3: No, these are facts, David.

868
00:36:58,868 --> 00:37:00,868
Speaker 2: I'm by the way, look at me telling I got

869
00:37:00,908 --> 00:37:02,988
Speaker 2: the world a chef about food takes.

870
00:37:03,028 --> 00:37:05,308
Speaker 3: But I know I love this. Bagels are better than

871
00:37:05,308 --> 00:37:07,068
Speaker 3: New York bagels, and it's not David. I.

872
00:37:07,388 --> 00:37:10,108
Speaker 1: We usually tend to go positive on this show, like like, yeah,

873
00:37:10,108 --> 00:37:12,868
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do about Jersey. Let's just flip that though.

874
00:37:13,108 --> 00:37:15,788
Speaker 1: What is the city? It's just between us. What's a

875
00:37:15,828 --> 00:37:18,508
Speaker 1: city where if you're like, oh man, I gotta travel there,

876
00:37:18,588 --> 00:37:19,628
Speaker 1: there's nothing to eat there.

877
00:37:19,628 --> 00:37:21,548
Speaker 3: I can't ever fit. Is there one of those like

878
00:37:21,668 --> 00:37:23,148
Speaker 3: if you had to do your worst, what would it

879
00:37:23,148 --> 00:37:24,628
Speaker 3: be man.

880
00:37:25,148 --> 00:37:27,108
Speaker 4: I travel a lot, so I don't want to say

881
00:37:27,108 --> 00:37:31,428
Speaker 4: anything negatively about anything. Just listen. Then let me just say,

882
00:37:31,868 --> 00:37:34,988
Speaker 4: any city in New Jersey near the meadowlands is probably

883
00:37:34,988 --> 00:37:38,348
Speaker 4: not the best place to eat. You talk about the place.

884
00:37:38,628 --> 00:37:40,828
Speaker 4: And he told me he's a Giants fan, So listen, Sorry,

885
00:37:40,868 --> 00:37:42,188
Speaker 4: Giants fans, I just have to say it.

886
00:37:42,228 --> 00:37:44,948
Speaker 2: Well, there's look where David's coming from. Number one, he's

887
00:37:44,988 --> 00:37:47,108
Speaker 2: a Commanders fan. So by the way, as a guy

888
00:37:47,148 --> 00:37:49,468
Speaker 2: who called New York City home, and he is ragging

889
00:37:49,508 --> 00:37:52,148
Speaker 2: on the g man, ragging on on the Jets. He

890
00:37:52,228 --> 00:37:54,788
Speaker 2: probably didn't like the Knicks run this year. He's a

891
00:37:54,828 --> 00:37:57,668
Speaker 2: Commander's fan. I mean, this is this is where this

892
00:37:57,788 --> 00:37:59,988
Speaker 2: heat and this negativity is coming.

893
00:38:00,148 --> 00:38:01,828
Speaker 3: I thought we hit it off in the green room

894
00:38:01,908 --> 00:38:04,788
Speaker 3: this morning, David. What happened here? This thing? They're pitting

895
00:38:04,868 --> 00:38:06,228
Speaker 3: us against each other and I don't like this.

896
00:38:06,508 --> 00:38:08,708
Speaker 5: I need to know why is a bagel not a sandwich?

897
00:38:08,788 --> 00:38:11,388
Speaker 4: Because I think it's a breakfast food. You know, I

898
00:38:11,388 --> 00:38:14,308
Speaker 4: don't know, but because I just don't think cream cheese

899
00:38:14,708 --> 00:38:17,748
Speaker 4: is a sandwich sort of saw you know, it's spreadable.

900
00:38:18,068 --> 00:38:20,268
Speaker 4: I love cream cheese. I just don't This is me.

901
00:38:21,548 --> 00:38:22,388
Speaker 4: I mean, you're an experts.

902
00:38:23,348 --> 00:38:25,228
Speaker 3: He is the expert. But it's like here, you know,

903
00:38:25,268 --> 00:38:26,868
Speaker 3: who's the best team in the NFL? Like you know,

904
00:38:26,908 --> 00:38:29,948
Speaker 3: everyone can have an opinion, and.

905
00:38:29,108 --> 00:38:31,268
Speaker 2: Maybe the one that I give is maybe the one

906
00:38:31,268 --> 00:38:33,708
Speaker 2: that I feel the best about. I'm back here on

907
00:38:33,748 --> 00:38:37,228
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. Look, we have the world famous chef

908
00:38:37,308 --> 00:38:39,708
Speaker 2: David Chang, that's here. But you are a football head

909
00:38:40,108 --> 00:38:42,548
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. You're watching all the games

910
00:38:42,548 --> 00:38:44,788
Speaker 2: on Thursday, you're watching them obviously on Mondays, and then

911
00:38:44,788 --> 00:38:46,748
Speaker 2: of course everything that's happening on Sundays. But you were

912
00:38:46,788 --> 00:38:50,228
Speaker 2: part of the TNF crew as well. Just broadly speaking,

913
00:38:50,268 --> 00:38:52,628
Speaker 2: that experience must have been so much fun, hit the road,

914
00:38:52,788 --> 00:38:54,188
Speaker 2: meeting the different players in those games.

915
00:38:54,188 --> 00:38:55,068
Speaker 3: What was it like for you?

916
00:38:55,148 --> 00:38:57,148
Speaker 4: I still don't believe that it's happened, because it's one

917
00:38:57,188 --> 00:38:58,948
Speaker 4: of the coolest things I've ever been part of. In

918
00:38:58,988 --> 00:39:01,948
Speaker 4: the whole Amazon TNF team, they're just the best, and

919
00:39:01,948 --> 00:39:03,948
Speaker 4: it's really like a family, and getting to travel and

920
00:39:03,948 --> 00:39:06,348
Speaker 4: watch the games with experts like yourselves, it just sort

921
00:39:06,388 --> 00:39:09,548
Speaker 4: of changes the whole football experience now.

922
00:39:09,708 --> 00:39:11,988
Speaker 3: Deed, no I heard along the great minded.

923
00:39:12,068 --> 00:39:14,308
Speaker 5: There may or may not be a story where Richard

924
00:39:14,348 --> 00:39:15,748
Speaker 5: Sherman set you up for a failure.

925
00:39:15,988 --> 00:39:19,588
Speaker 4: We need a backstory to just tell us what okay.

926
00:39:20,108 --> 00:39:21,908
Speaker 4: So one of the big things that I do for

927
00:39:21,908 --> 00:39:24,548
Speaker 4: T and F is make the sort of leftover feast

928
00:39:24,548 --> 00:39:28,028
Speaker 4: for a Friday night football game. And so we make

929
00:39:28,068 --> 00:39:30,388
Speaker 4: a leftover sandwich. We call it the wedge Breaker. And

930
00:39:30,508 --> 00:39:32,908
Speaker 4: this year we were in Kansas City and we make

931
00:39:32,948 --> 00:39:34,828
Speaker 4: this thing, and you don't know exactly who's gonna win

932
00:39:34,828 --> 00:39:38,428
Speaker 4: because it's like basically of the game and it's got

933
00:39:38,588 --> 00:39:41,108
Speaker 4: turkey and pork and all kinds of stuff in it.

934
00:39:41,148 --> 00:39:42,908
Speaker 4: But the only reason I put pork in is Richard

935
00:39:42,908 --> 00:39:44,868
Speaker 4: Simmons like, hey, tasty, He's like, you know what it's

936
00:39:44,868 --> 00:39:48,028
Speaker 4: missing bacon? I was like, and that's all happening live,

937
00:39:48,068 --> 00:39:50,268
Speaker 4: and maybe like ten minutes beforehand, we have to make

938
00:39:50,308 --> 00:39:52,148
Speaker 4: the sandwich and go out. So I don't know, and

939
00:39:52,268 --> 00:39:54,428
Speaker 4: we still don't know. They haven't made the determination if

940
00:39:54,468 --> 00:39:58,668
Speaker 4: it's Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey, or Chris Jones defensive tackle.

941
00:39:59,108 --> 00:40:02,708
Speaker 4: So I'm walking out there and it's Chris Jones. Nobody's

942
00:40:02,748 --> 00:40:04,988
Speaker 4: told me anything. I made the last the decision to

943
00:40:04,988 --> 00:40:07,708
Speaker 4: add pork put there, and he looks at it and

944
00:40:07,748 --> 00:40:09,388
Speaker 4: it's on camera and he's like, I don't need pork.

945
00:40:09,868 --> 00:40:15,308
Speaker 5: Oh, so you made this amazing spread as as an

946
00:40:15,348 --> 00:40:18,148
Speaker 5: award for the MVP of the night. And he looks

947
00:40:18,188 --> 00:40:19,628
Speaker 5: at you says, yeah, this looks good. I hope it

948
00:40:19,628 --> 00:40:21,788
Speaker 5: doesn't have no pork on it because I don't eat pork.

949
00:40:21,908 --> 00:40:25,388
Speaker 4: That's correct. So listen, that's what live TV is, you guys.

950
00:40:25,388 --> 00:40:28,748
Speaker 4: You guys know. And I was incredibly embarrassed, but there's

951
00:40:28,748 --> 00:40:30,188
Speaker 4: nothing I could have done about it. So when I

952
00:40:30,228 --> 00:40:32,428
Speaker 4: blamed Richard Sherman, it's his fault. It's definitely shar ful.

953
00:40:32,428 --> 00:40:35,508
Speaker 4: Absolutely that next teammate. But who ended up eating a sandwich? Gosh,

954
00:40:35,628 --> 00:40:36,988
Speaker 4: everyone else did after the fact.

955
00:40:37,068 --> 00:40:38,948
Speaker 5: Okay, I was gonna say Fitzmagic probably did it.

956
00:40:39,148 --> 00:40:44,388
Speaker 4: Fitz going over to CHRISA, she'll put it down, CHRISA,

957
00:40:44,548 --> 00:40:47,348
Speaker 4: she's a great They're all good eaters. They're all good eaters.

958
00:40:47,988 --> 00:40:49,508
Speaker 2: What did you call the sandwich, by the way, the

959
00:40:49,508 --> 00:40:51,988
Speaker 2: wedge breaker, the wedge breaker, Kyle. I think if if

960
00:40:52,028 --> 00:40:54,148
Speaker 2: you ever need help by the way naming and say, Kyle,

961
00:40:54,148 --> 00:40:55,428
Speaker 2: I feel like you'd be really good at that.

962
00:40:55,708 --> 00:40:56,588
Speaker 3: It'd be my pleasure.

963
00:40:56,708 --> 00:40:58,868
Speaker 1: I like the wedge breaker because there used to be

964
00:40:58,908 --> 00:41:01,068
Speaker 1: a thing in football called the way, but it used

965
00:41:01,068 --> 00:41:02,948
Speaker 1: to be a thing called kick returns and it was

966
00:41:02,988 --> 00:41:04,868
Speaker 1: really fun. So it's old school and I love the

967
00:41:04,908 --> 00:41:06,148
Speaker 1: call back to that, right asah.

968
00:41:06,148 --> 00:41:08,188
Speaker 5: Absolutely listen up for those that don't know what the

969
00:41:08,188 --> 00:41:10,548
Speaker 5: wedge is and what Kyle's referring to is back in

970
00:41:10,588 --> 00:41:12,828
Speaker 5: the day before the rules change, were the off of

971
00:41:12,908 --> 00:41:15,388
Speaker 5: the linemen were able to link hands and come forward.

972
00:41:15,188 --> 00:41:17,028
Speaker 3: To block anybody else coming down to make a tackle.

973
00:41:17,188 --> 00:41:20,228
Speaker 5: So we talk about a wedge buster. That's the type

974
00:41:20,228 --> 00:41:22,268
Speaker 5: of sandwich you're talking about. Something that's going to hit hard,

975
00:41:22,508 --> 00:41:24,668
Speaker 5: is going to be tantalizing to taste buds. And I'm

976
00:41:24,668 --> 00:41:27,068
Speaker 5: mad that Chris Jones couldn't partake any because sirm sets

977
00:41:27,068 --> 00:41:27,348
Speaker 5: you up.

978
00:41:27,468 --> 00:41:29,428
Speaker 4: That's all bad. All it's bad.

979
00:41:29,868 --> 00:41:31,308
Speaker 3: So if you're going to make a sandwich.

980
00:41:31,068 --> 00:41:32,188
Speaker 4: Though, Mike, what of it?

981
00:41:32,388 --> 00:41:33,628
Speaker 3: There would probably be poork on it.

982
00:41:33,668 --> 00:41:36,028
Speaker 2: I was just thinking about which, By the way, I'm

983
00:41:36,028 --> 00:41:37,828
Speaker 2: disappointed you didn't bring any port sandwiches.

984
00:41:37,868 --> 00:41:39,068
Speaker 3: We will you and I are.

985
00:41:38,948 --> 00:41:40,668
Speaker 4: Going I got up at three in the morning. It's

986
00:41:40,668 --> 00:41:41,588
Speaker 4: not my fault.

987
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:47,108
Speaker 3: Chef prep. It's one of those.

988
00:41:47,228 --> 00:41:49,188
Speaker 2: By the way, Kyle, I have a sandwich for you

989
00:41:49,308 --> 00:41:51,508
Speaker 2: witty saber is what I would call your sandwich.

990
00:41:51,948 --> 00:41:53,348
Speaker 3: Do you feel like that's? Why? Is that?

991
00:41:54,028 --> 00:41:56,468
Speaker 2: I don't know, like this, you know all the running

992
00:41:56,468 --> 00:41:57,548
Speaker 2: back stuff we're giving out sabers.
