Next up, a little football. Aaron
0:02
Rodgers in camp in Steelers camp speaks
0:08
to Kyle Brandt of NFL Network and has
0:12
very complimentary things to say about
0:14
Terry Bradshaw after Bradshaw ripped him
0:16
earlier in the summer and said the
0:18
Steelers should not bother waiting on
0:21
I thought Aaron Rogers said the right
0:24
things that you want to hear him say. He
0:26
doesn't really know me. He thinks that
0:28
he knows me from things like the
0:30
documentary or from other things, but if
0:33
we were to sit down and talk, I'm sure
0:35
we would find common ground. And I've
0:38
got nothing but respect for a living
0:40
legend like that. Actually, Aaron Rogers
0:44
was on the nose with the temperament and
0:47
the messaging of that response.
0:51
That being said, there were two things
0:54
there that I have to question. Number
0:57
one, Aaron Rodgers is left with no chess
1:02
chess move there because what are you
1:04
going to do? Create a fight in a
1:06
firestorm with a living legend of the
1:09
Steelers who you're playing your first
1:11
season with. You've accomplished nothing
1:12
in Pittsburgh. Nobody cares if you, you
1:16
know, no, nobody has any undying loyalty
1:18
in Pittsburgh to Aaron Rogers. So,
1:20
they're not going to give him the
1:21
benefit of the doubt. So, he can't wage
1:23
a war of words with Terry Bradshaw.
1:26
He'll never win that. He's never going
1:28
to win four Super Bowls, let alone one,
1:30
more than likely in Pittsburgh. And Brad
1:32
Shaw, you know, is part of all those
1:35
incredible teams and incredible
1:36
memories. So, he's left without a chess
1:39
move there to fight back. Rogers likes
1:41
to punch down. He likes to punch down to
1:43
the media. In this case, he would be
1:44
punching up towards a legend and he's
1:45
not going to do it. So, he's smart, but
1:48
honestly, there's no move for him
1:49
anyway. Number two, I honestly think
1:53
Rogers very perfectly scripted response
1:58
is what makes Aaron Rogers so dangerous
2:01
is because Rogers can say the perfect
2:05
thing in the perfect tone and sound
2:11
And yet when Roger says things like,
2:14
"Well, he thinks he knows me because of
2:16
my documentary or whatever." Rogers
2:19
dictated what was in the documentary. So
2:22
he can't sit here and say, "Oh, people
2:25
think they might know me, but they don't
2:26
really know me based on what that
2:29
documentary." That was the vision. That
2:32
was the facade that he wanted to put up
2:34
for people to absorb. Also for Rogers, a
2:40
guy that takes any soap box he can get
2:42
and is demeaning towards any take that
2:47
is opposite his, is always smartest guy
2:51
in the room, is always I know you don't,
2:56
is always suggesting that you the media
2:58
doesn't know, the public doesn't know.
3:01
This is taken out of context. Nobody
3:03
asked me, you don't have the real
3:04
sources. It's very convenient today to
3:08
say, "Well, you know,
3:10
if he would only sit down with me and
3:12
have an honest conversation, then you
3:13
know, he he could keep an open mind."
3:16
When has Rogers done that with people
3:18
that he disagreed with? When has Rogers
3:20
ever been the magnanimous one? And here
3:23
he is asking for Bradshaw to do that.
3:26
Well, keep an open mind. You don't
3:30
So, I don't trust Aaron Rogers, but I
3:32
will say that his response was on point.
