be the best fantastic career and it's not just a
personal achievement family, 18 years with one organization
an hour and all you know and retiring in a first-ballot
hall-of-famer two-time Champion. So on and so forth.
All of numbers.
It's an organizational achievement because when you as
an organization when you draft a quarterback in the first
round,
you hope and pray
that one day, he's delivering this kind of announcement
to this kind of,
you know,
Ian and adulation and congratulation, you know, like
if your the Steelers and you draft the third quarterback,
and a draft from Miami, Ohio and 18 years later. You got
that out of him.
Yeah, come on. And just real quick quick quick, quick stat
for you.
We talked about the other day
first time since 09
that neither Brady or Rogers is in an NFC Championship Game.
The last 18, Super Bowls
have all featured.
Tom Brady,
Peyton Manning.
Ben Roethlisberger
or the 49ers, oddly enough, the 49ers and 2013, 49ers,
and and 2020.
So it's just crazy to think that we're on Tom Brady. Watch
right now been is officially done and we've given him this
flowers and no harm in doing it again. The solutes of Ben
Roethlisberger going on
a career
that was it was it was exceptional. So they got
the already watch they got Ben has been is done.
Brady, watch. Rogers could retire.
It's maybe, you know,
so we're looking at some institutions, some
institutions, Michael that this this time next year. It's
possible
Rogers, Brady and Ben could either be out of the game or in
one case
with a different team.
So, well, I said, become Hall of Fame class. They all retired
at the same time. It would it really would I, but I think
I see it happening this way. Alright, so Ben Sir has already
retired. And as you said,
it's an achievement for him.
It's an organizational achievement because they put
a lot of pressure on themselves. The Steelers do they say, oh
we're going to build through the draft. Our foundation is
going to be to the draft and Player Development.
So you better be good at identifying players and then
developing players to have that philosophy. Otherwise, it
doesn't work. It has worked for years and years. So
congrats to him, congrats to them.
Tom. Brady,
talk about him.
I think he's going to retire. I think it's going to happen and
we'll talk about it, whether whether he does or not. Tom,
Brady will always carry you. You just
fiction. But go ahead.
Yeah,
when it comes to Aaron Rodgers,
the only thing Aaron Rodgers needs to retire. Is his tanks.
Okay, boom. Height
might. Well done.
Yeah. Well, I love her well deliver.
Did you I know we talked about Aaron Rodgers?
On Monday,
we talk about all the jokes people got those jokes off.
Talk about Aaron Rodgers, two-player. Talk about Aaron
Rodgers to man, the whole thing.
I can't emphasize enough. How out of it. Aaron Rodgers is on
the vaccination thing.
He said on the pat pat maccabe Show's final appearance.
He said people are rooting against him. A lot of people
were rooting against him simply because
he's unvaccinated now. Look,
no, that's not why I
could you say dumb shit.
That's right. That's that's why
okay, you mad for me. That's one. That's one of But Mike I'm
going to say I might reject the premise
because I'm reformed now. You know what I did last year.
I don't do the things I did last year. Last year. I said, just
a little segment. It's a little feed an addiction that I had
past tense
on gambling, gambling, addiction.
Yeah.
Vegas member had Green Bay as the betting favorite
to get to the Super Bowl.
Everybody pays off your way to get to the Super Bowl. I mean,
a lot of people put money on Green Bay. Right. Media people
don't undergo right? Don't mess with my paper. They
they rooting for you.
They're not rooting against you. I don't care if he's not going
to be the MVP again. Hey, he's got
money on, you got money on you,
right care,
right? I don't care what your status is. I'm not thinking
about that. I'm not thinking about what a great person you
are or not. I don't care. Make the past, make my bed stand up.
Don't take money out of my pocket. Come on, please.
Aaron. So that's one. I thought 2. People were rooting for him
and you can go on Twitter
and you can find anything that you're looking for.
You fight. You can find somebody to reinforce
the position you have. You can, you can find the straw men and
straw women onto it. Whatever you need. You can find it
there. So
his persecution come with it. Out of control it. Yeah,
it's not a capri much
and he acts, like
it's like what I said to Ashley about Julius Randle. She was
talking about New York. Hey comes from It's love and all
the stuff people are going to say, have some things to say he
acts like he's never played
professional sports before.
Yeah, people are going to be.
If you have a you have a big platform
and your you don't
have a commercial every five minutes. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. The first
one,
if you use your platform to promote something if you're for
or against it no matter what you're gonna have a lot of
people on your side
and you have a lot of people want on your side.
It's never know.
There's no such thing as
a unanimous crowd and professional sports. You only
asked
as Tom Brady about people rooting against you, as Tom
Brady about being persecuted, like, a not new Under the Sun,
like, like, like stop with that, like Lux, he got
everything he deserved on Sunday night on. I'll see, you
know, Saturday night,
Sunday, and into this week. He had it coming.
He asked for it.
Okay, ain't nobody above getting drunk? Ain't nobody
above getting roasted. It comes for us. All. Okay.
Okay. Everybody's friends on Twitter at some point. If you
Fortunate enough right? Orange for. That's right. The case may
be but nonetheless,
it comes with the territory,
but you gotta hold Rogers rate,
and for me it just another example. And I love
the quarterback. I love the talent
and I had decent interactions with the individual,
but let's call it what it is. It comes with nausea vomiting,
for your role in this. Yeah.
Ain't nobody told you to say you was immunized
your vocabulary, your diction, your syntax, you know exactly
what you were doing. And nobody told you to tell you what you
was immunized. Ain't nobody tell you to go talking about
Ivermectin and Joe Rogan a shout-out to Neil Young by
the way. I'm a title subscriber.
Anyway, just want to sneak that in there. All right, now to
tell anybody tell you that anybody tell you to go. There
ain't nobody tell you to conduct yourself and be on your
high horse about this pandemic and then and then say, you
know, hey, I'm
not into politics. Then have hot takes about the president,
you know, and how, you know, the public speaker that he is
as opposed to the last guy and then say, yeah, then come back
and be like, hey, but I don't want to To be politicized.
Like,
what are you?
And you can't have it both ways which goes back to, if he goes
running to Denver or somewhere else, in pursuit of another
ring. That's a compliment to me.
I know it's not a cop. That's a compliment
that's chicken shit. Because we're because where is your friend?
Where is your role in them? Not winning a Super Bowl in
the last about two years.
How about this pretty good enough is
what it what it what if this is all speculation. But if he
leaves, if you were to go to Denver or anywhere else and he
says,
I could have done more with the Packers.
I know I could have performed better.
However,
I'm off to here. So it's not necessarily running off and
shirking responsibility. You're saying, yeah, I'm,
I was a part of the the problem to. I'm the real reason for
a part of the reason, the reason for my part of the reason.
Well, of course,
sure there. Is it just
it all down, but I don't think they're gonna tear it all down.
I don't think so. I'm
assuming that they'll be able to bring the band back together.
Well, if you spend a lot of time in Green Bay,
it's been a lot of time. Agree. Bathing say, okay now it's time
to move on. I want to go to
Colorado.
Listen, we've invested.
