Thank you, Todd. Also, we say good morning to our
radio affiliates numbering nearly four hundred cities around America. iHeartRadio
and also the Fox Sports Radio lineup. NBA playoffs feel
like they've been going on a long time. Remember when
Kevin Durant's tippy toes were on the three point line
(01:04):
and that nets Bucks series. It feels like last season,
doesn't it, or when Lebron was still in the playoffs.
Now the only playoffs he's in battling aliens in Space Jam.
I did watch the movie last night. I know it's
not meant for me. I'm not the target demo. And
I was a little bit surprised because Lebron's a villain
(01:28):
and then his son is in the movie, and I
just had a hard time kind of understanding. It felt
like life's lessons and you wanted to I just wanted
a damn cartoon. I just wanted to have something that
was pretty breezy there, a little deeper than I thought.
But and I'm not going to compare, you know, Lebron
(01:52):
to Michael in the Space Jam at Michael obviously, But
I did watch it a little bit. It just wasn't
as breezy as I thought that. That's the word. I
kept going, Man, I like this be a little more
lighthearted here. It was heavier than what I thought. Would
(02:13):
I recommend it, Yes, yeah, for somebody who is fourteen
and under, yeah, you would probably get a kick out
of it. Now, maybe as if you're a parent, you
might be watching and maybe you take away some life's
lessons there. But it wasn't what I thought it was
going to be. Was put it that way? Yeah? Point,
(02:34):
I'm just guessing here, But I bet Lebron's team. I
don't want to spoil anything. I don't want to spoil it.
I know that, Hey, I know he won at the
box office because there are a lot of people on
social media like, let's see what you do against Black
Widow And then all of a sudden, you go, the
number one movie in America is Space Jam, not Black
(02:54):
Widow anymore. So you think back when Lebron was in
the playoffs, how about Ben Simmons passing up that dunk
opportunity against the Atlanta Hawks or Paul George was actually
playoff p and did the Hawks actually make it to
the conference finals or was that a dream? So this
has been a long strange trip in the postseason. Two
(03:15):
games left. Maybe maybe it ends tonight. The drama the
series has been great and hopefully we get a few
more memorable moments before it's all said and done. The
long strange playoff road finally reaches its conclusion and you
start to think about NBA Finals and having covered quite
a few of them, you would always it felt like,
(03:37):
remember the moments made by the winning team. What's Phoenix's
signature moments so far? Exactly? Milwaukee got a couple of them,
you know, Drew Holliday, the steel, the alley to Yannis
Yannis with the block, like they got a couple of them,
(03:58):
and normally that team wins. It's a championship, and you
get this feeling that this is it. There's gonna be
sixty thousand fans outside the arena in Milwaukee. It feels
like they're going to have a parade tonight if Milwaukee
wins and wins its second NBA championship in the first
(04:19):
and fifty years. But if they don't win, can't imagine
what that sixty thousand is going to feel like outside
the building. As the series will then head back to Phoenix,
but we will approach tonight's Game six with John Barry
coming up next hour. Whole question who's doing the honors today, Paulie.
If you were a Milwaukee's Milwaukee Bucks fan who had
(04:41):
tickets to Game six at home tonight, and you could
sign a deal the Bucks lose tonight but win in
seven games and your team wins the AA title or
you go tonight and you roll the dice with whatever
happens in game six and seven, you're guaranteeing yourself a victory,
but it's not gonna be in the game. You're at
to put this perspective. I went to Game three and
(05:03):
four of the Cubs World Series in Chicago. They lost
both games, but they don't feel that bad because it
doesn't bother me now. But those two nights were two
rough nights. Oh you're a mess. Polly didn't get emotional.
I thought, God, I got it, this guy's gonna cry.
After Game four in Chicago, there was no public transportation.
(05:23):
You had to walk like eight blocks. It was like
a walk of drunken zombies who were upset us walk
in shame, shame. It was. Yeah, but if you could
sign that deal, if you're a bus, I would. I
would go to game six and just expect us to win.
I think the last time they lost was to the
Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs at home. I would roll
(05:46):
the dice. Now, Phoenix has been good on the road,
but I would roll the dice there and say we
got momentum, we're gonna sweep them. And lost the first two.
We're gonna win the next four. Yeah, See, gotta roll
the dice to be there in that atmosphere. If they
win Game six and you were there, got a roll
the dice. Any other poll questions suggestions? I have one.
If I would have told you a week ago that
(06:06):
Eli Manning would work in the media someday, your answer
would have been sure, maybe, no chance in hell. Well,
I thought that he was going to work with the Giants.
He has a role with the Giants. It's like a
business development type roble. Yeah, But as far as a
standalone media member where he's another analyst like Tony Romo,
the answer is no. But now he's going to pair
(06:27):
up with his brother and they're gonna do Monday night football.
It's it's great business by Eli and Peyton and Peyton's
Peyton's saying to ESPN, I don't want to work for you,
I want to work with you, and that's where you
own things, and then ESPN will then rent those things
by those things you already have Peyton's places. Do you
(06:49):
realize that he's got other athletes that are going to
be doing like Poppy Big Poppy's gonna do Poppy's places.
Abby wamback is going to do Abby's places. He's created this.
I don't know if it's a series of these shows.
I don't even know how to describe it. But he's
he's branching out where he's probably going to executive produce
(07:12):
these shows. Yeah, set, but she's kind of taking the
model that Kobe was had already started he you know,
details as a Kobe Bryant show. You know, he was
already selling content to ESPN and probably other providers or
other places. So it's sort of just an extension of that.
And then you wonder because when you start to think
of this decision that I kept waiting for Peyton, if
(07:35):
he was going to do Monday Night Football or somebody
else was going to reach out to him. If Troy
Aikman went into the front office for a football team
and Peyton decided he was going to do Fox, then
you realize that even the numbers where I was talking
to a TV exec and you could get some pretty
good numbers, you weren't going to get Tony Romo numbers,
(07:56):
but you were still going to be able to fly it,
you know, in and out at these places like that
was really important with Peyton, with his children and then
I thought, well, if you pair Eli and Peyton and
you do that on Monday Night, then you probably have
some magic there. But Peyton standing alone could do it.
(08:18):
But this allows Eli. Eli is the only guy who
could probably poke and jab Peyton Manning live on the air,
and you know your announcer probably can't. But if you're
able to get Eli in there with Peyton, Peyton's going
to dissect the game. Eli is going to be in there.
(08:38):
You're gonna have celebrities in there. I don't know who
your host is. You might as well have Cooper Manning,
the other brother in there. He worked for Fox, but
maybe you could loan him out and he could be
the pseudo host. And this is more of a come
on in watch the game with us. From what I'm
being told, it's it's like a viewing party, but the
(08:59):
analysis is going to be top shelf. Now you wonder,
okay is ESPN bastardizing It's Monday Night crew with Steve
Levy and Brian Greasy and Lewis Ridding. I think what
they're doing. And they do this with the National Title
Game with the MegaCast, where you have all of these
different channels and they're covering the event. You know, the
(09:21):
coach's corner, Bill Simmons, is able to do this. But
I think that's what's going to happen, and it probably
takes a little bit of the pressure off the Monday
Night team because you know, they, Okay, if you watched
Eli and Peyton, maybe you watch for a little while
and then you want to watch an actual broadcast of
the game, and then you may come back and it
(09:41):
might be a good thing for that team, because it
feels like ESPN has been trying for over two decades
to get Monday Night football right, and now you have
Eli and Peyton on the ESPN platform, but not on
the actual broadcast, and they're going to do ten of
these games on Monday Night. I'm curious to hear how
it sounds. But I was also surprised it's only ten games.
(10:06):
But they want to control the schedule. You know, Tony
Romo has got to do the whole season here. Peyton's
probably like going, hey, I'll do it, but this we
want to do this number of games there, and do
you go to each city? Is it something where Eli
and Peyton can watch a game and they're in New
Orleans at their parents out. I don't know, but it
(10:27):
feels like this is it's a brilliant business move. Peyton
Manning is doing what Shack is doing, and that is
you don't want to get paid for doing something. You
want to own a piece of something. When Shack comes
in and does you know pizza or the doorbell or
the general Shack goes, don't pay me, I want a
(10:48):
piece of this. And if you think about he's become
a billionaire with these business decisions. And I think other
athletes look at this and go, yeah, don't pay me
a fee, give me piece of the company. And if
I own the company, the fact that you want a
piece of it, I like that even more like you
are actually invested with me, and I like that. But
(11:09):
I think what Peyton is doing, he's got the power
to be able to do this, and the Mothership is
already in business with him, and they're going to be
doing Monday night football. This program brought to you by

until the Olympics, and there was I don't know how
to describe this, just to be fair to it, but
the head of the Olympic Organizing Committee, the Tokyo Olympic
Organizing Committee, talked about the possibility of canceling the Olympic
(11:53):
Games as more athletes tested positive for COVID nineteen. Now
he said he wouldn't rule it out. Now when you
see the headline, it becomes a little more ominous, it's
a little scarier there. But the head of the organizing
committee said, we can't predict what will happen with the
(12:14):
number of coronavirus cases, so we will continue discussions if
there is a spike in cases. We have agreed that
based on the coronavirus situation, we will convene five Party
talks again. At this point, the coronavirus cases may rise
or fall, so we will think about what we should
(12:34):
do when the situation arises. It's just one of those
that you've just tucking in a corner in your mind
and just go okay. Opening ceremonies coming up on Friday night.
Let's see anything else we need to mention here before
we take a break, Yes, Pauling, there is actual Aaron
(12:54):
Rodgers news, actual news ish, Yeah, I would say it
is okay, Okay, I'm about to email to you, okay
for for soaking in purpose Okay, all right, then we'll
take a break and we'll discount that. You can marinate
on that a bit. Yeah, yeah, right, it feels like news. Okay,
(13:16):
I think it is all right, all right, backtracking, I
feel like mc glove and I'm back said, I'm not
back now. I think it is okay. Is it is
it news that I, as a journalist I need to
talk about right now? Or do I take a break now?
I watch just soak it in? Okay, because there's some
questions about it. Okay, all right, well we'll come back
(13:37):
and talk about the Aaron Rodgers news. Is it news
or not? We'll let you be the judge. Yes, Aaron
Rodgers and his brother just sold us side screen mega
cast for They're gonna they want to do Monday night
football as well. Yeah, they're gonna do That's no, we
have ours that we're doing. They're gonna compete against the

Ceremony Tokyo Pics Friday, seven thirty Eastern one, NBC. Maybe
(15:07):
I mentioned this prior to the commercial break, that we
had maybe potential Aaron Rodgers News Adam Schefter reporting this offseason,
the Packers offered Aaron Rodgers a two year contract extension
that would have tied him to Green Bay for five
more years and made him the highest paid quarterback and
(15:28):
player in football. Rogers declined the offer, and then Cheft
ends his tweet proof it's not about the money. Now
it feels like at the very end, let me backtrack here,
I'll start at the end, Proof it's not about the
money feels like that's an opinion maybe that the agent
(15:51):
wants to send out. I'm just I'm going to read
between the lines here. Chefty gets a lot of his
information from agents, and it feels like, hey, yeah, we
declined the offer. Proof it's not about the money. That
one feels that just kind of hangs out there that
that sounds like what an agent would say. And why
is this being reported now? When was the offer made?
(16:15):
And when did he turn it down? Those are the
questions that I have right now. This makes Aaron look better,
right and and I don't know if he if he
just really doesn't want to be a Packer, Like that's
all I want to hear, like put us out of
our misery. You don't want to be there, then say
(16:35):
you don't want to be there. It just feels like
it's this Koi game, or maybe it's not so Koi
game of I don't know. Is he gonna show up.
I don't know. Is he gonna sit out, is he
gonna retire? He's gonna host jeopard Remember when that was
the storyline. Oh, he'll just do Jeopardy. Okay, that probably
(16:56):
is not going to suffice. I don't think that'll quench
his competitive thirst to be one of the great quarterbacks
of all time. That you're going to prematurely retire, I
understood Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer retired instead of playing for
the Bengals. That's how bad this situation was. And he
was true to his word, and then the Raiders traded
(17:18):
for him. I don't know if Aaron Rodgers says, hey,
I'm going to retire, I just I always want to
know the timing of it. Now, as far as the source,
I'm going to guess this is coming from Aaron Rodgers
agent and Chefty's reporting it as he does so well
that you're going to extend him for five more seasons. Now,
(17:38):
this isn't news because we had talked about this a
couple of months ago, I was told that he had
an offer to be the highest paid quarterback and that
he wanted to guarantee that he was going to be
the starting quarterback. I don't know if you can guarantee
that in the language of a contract, but that's what
I was told after the Super Bowl. To me, it's
(18:01):
a little more specific, but it's not breaking news. If
you want to say, all right, five more seasons, so
it'd be a two year contract extension. If you're gonna
make him the highest paid quarterback in the league, then
you're gonna want something out of this as well. But
when Rogers declines the offer and then proof it's not
(18:21):
about the money, is that cheft he's saying it's not
about the money. Is that the source saying it's not
about the money. Timing is really important with this too. Yes, Polly,
this feels a little newsy to me, because I guess
I'm a bit of a cynic. I always think everything's
about money. I thought that Aaron Rodgers and his agent
was playing this whole thing to get one last monster contract.
(18:42):
And it appears, if you believe Adam Schefter, that he
was offered one last monstrous contract to go into his forties,
and if he passed on that to me again, this
is face value, makes me think, boy, he really in
the near future maybe not this. You know, August wants
to be out of there, but Paully, why doesn't he
just say it? Does he want green Bay to be
(19:03):
the bad guy? Where green Bay goes We're gonna trade you? Yeah? See?
Is there semantics in this though, where it's not about
the money it's about the years or is that cutting
it too thin? It could be like, I don't I
don't know how petty this is getting or going to
get or was. I have no idea because Aaron has
(19:24):
not He's been coy with all of this. You know, Hey,
you're going to show up for camp. We'll see, Yeah,
we will. But the timing of this is interesting because
camp opens up next week and I don't know if
it's important for Aaron Rodgers to be beloved by Packer
fans right now, like, hey, I'm not the bad guy here, Like,
(19:48):
we get it. Your feelings were hurt, absolutely, I understand that.
But at some point you can't let the little thing
override the bigger picture here, and that is how important
is it to win you told us I don't know
how many months ago. Hey, I love the place, the history,
the fans, tradition, my coach, my player. Okay, so you
(20:13):
don't like one or two people in the front office,
don't let that impact what could be another magical season
for you. The Packers bet against you, get over it.
They thought you were going to be on the decline
and they drafted Jordan Love And I think if Aaron
(20:33):
was honest, he would say I had two substandard years. Okay,
I get it. They bet against you. You prove them wrong.
Now what do you want? I just want to know
when was this made? What did he ask for? What
are they asking for? Are they asking for anything? Because
(20:55):
is this just one of those where Rogers camp, you know,
is in Communicado and then the Packers go what about?
What about? And then what do you make a counter
offer here? But you did turn it down. Were there discussions?
When were the discussions? And why is this coming out
right now as we're a couple of days away from
(21:16):
the Packers reporting to Kim. That's so I'm curious about
the information a little more detailed, But there's nothing new
when it comes to being the highest paid player in
the game. I was told that a couple of months ago.
Proof it's not about the money man. It's always about
the money. On some level, it'll be about the money.
(21:38):
But as Green Bay moves forward, you know what is
the scenario next week Rogers shows up and then the
Packers go, we don't want you to be a distraction, okay,
and then what are you await You've already taken out
seven teams, eight teams, nine teams that somebody in the
(21:59):
NFL Home office said, you know, was surprised. If Aaron
wants out, he's limited the number of teams that he
could go to right now, and the Packers have limited
the number of trade partners. That was very puzzling here,
And I'll go back to the night of the draft
when Chefty had that information, which was just sort of
a culmination of reports and whispers and rumors. It felt
(22:24):
like it was imminent and if you were going to
trade Aaron Rodgers, that was the time to trade him.
Where everybody's on the clock and Aaron got his wish.
He has disrupted the Packers and their draft like he's
the center of attention with this and you could get out.
I truly believe Aaron Rodgers wanted to go to the Rams,
(22:48):
the Rams and the Niners, and the Niners still aren't
sold on Jimmy Garoppolo no matter what they say. But
the Rams went all in. And when you drafted Trey Lance,
now I've taken Aaron Rodgers out of the equation. You
gave up an awful lot for Trey Lance. If you
would have said to the Niners, what do you give
(23:09):
us for Aaron Rodgers? You could have if you think
Jordan Love can play, I got Jordan Love, I got
my starter. We're gonna take a little bit of a hit,
but look at what we've done for the future here.
But I have to believe I have no information that
Aaron Rodgers saw that Matthew Stafford deal and one of information, no, no,
(23:33):
that he had to go are you kidding me? Are
you kidding me? And then looked at the Niners and
realized that they were taking Trey Lance and probably when
are you kidding me? So now we're Denver, all right?
Got a young nucleus there, Raiders. I don't know, but
(23:54):
if you're the Packers, you have to get to the
point where you go, okay, are we going to do
something that's detrimental to our franchise. You gotta get You
gotta put egos to the side and make a business decision.
If you're Green Bay, you may not want to trade him.
You may not be one of the gun You don't
want to be known as the guy who traded Aaron Rodgers.
(24:14):
But you don't want to be the guy who held
on and had a grudge against Aaron Rodgers and then
didn't trade him and then you don't get anything. Are
you gonna wait till the next season? Is he gonna
play this season? Is he gonna sit out? Is he
gonna get cut? Yeah? Paul? How did the Packers come
(24:35):
off to their fans based off this report? They appear to,
if you believe the report, offer him a contract to
make him the highest paid NFL athlete of all time
and he passed, if you believe Adam Schefter's report. Well,
as a fan, if I'm a Packers fan, I go, hey,
we're trying our best. We're trying to give him everything possible.
But then when you get the yeah, they did do that.
(24:58):
But and Chefty puts it in his twet tweet proof
it's not about the money. Okay, we know that there's friction.
Can you get past the friction? And if not, ask
for a trade? And if you can't get past it
from the packers point of view, at what point do
you say there's diminishing returns here? Because you you could
(25:24):
have had eight to ten teams who probably would have
fallen all over themselves prior to the draft to trade
for Aaron Rodgers. And now what do you have? What
are you getting from Denver if that happens, what are
you getting from the Raiders? Who else is in there?
You just limited yourself. I'm just curious about the business
part of this. And I've said all along I thought
(25:45):
that Aaron Rodgers was going to play for Green Bay
this year. That I sent a message And now everybody
knows what I've been dealing with. And I'm going to
live up to my contract and I'm going to go
in there and continue to play, and then I'll play
for somebody else because they've already made their decision on
their quarterback. I'm going to make it so difficult for
(26:07):
them to make that decision. I'm going to come back
with another great year coming off the MVP. But that's why,
when you apply logic to this what is the endgame
for Aaron Rodgers? You get traded then say it? Yeah. See,
(26:28):
because if it was just something like a simple contract,
that's it would be so much easier to be like, no,
we're close, just working out the detail. Yeah, now we're close. Yeah.
Baffling really is really is all right? Age seven seven
three d P show email address DP at dan Patrick
dot com, Twitter handle a TP show. Once again, this
is Adam Schefter's report that the Packers offered Aaron Rodgers
(26:51):
a two year contract extension, so that would have tied
him up to Green Bay for five more years and
made him the highest paid quarterback and player in football.
Rogers declined the offer. Proof it's not about the money. Yes, point,
I have a new poll question. We scrubbed the old one.
He scrubbed him going for the space travel thing. Jeff Bezos,
by the way, he already went into space in his
(27:13):
back since we started the Aaron Rodgers story. Really yeah
Bezos and his brother Mark, Yeah, they their capsule went
up into space successfully and drop back down safely. How
long were they in space? Ten minutes? Does that count
as going into space? Well? How far do you have
to go into space to be into space. They called
it like a sub atmosphere, which I think. Okay, they
(27:38):
got in, they got well into zero gravity. Okay, did
the guy who did the Red Bull jump? Was he
up higher than Jeff bezos spaceship. Oh man, I don't know.
That was crazy. It was. That was one of the
craziest things I've ever seen. I can't watch it. I
cannot watch that again. It's just even thinking about it,
(27:59):
I'm like, oh my god, it like makes my stomach.
I can feel my Yeah, pully so Bezos. His ship
went up for ten minutes, straight up, and it looks
like a rocket ship, but kind of like a JV version.
It's a medium size because of only a couple of
dudes in it came back safely. Is that like, Let's
say you stop over at an airport. Let's say you've
never been a ship. You stopped over in Iceland, and
(28:19):
you want credit. You got off the plane, got off
the plane, But I was only in the airport. I
never left the airport. Can I say casually, yeah, I've
been Iceland? Yes, So Jeff Bezos, Jeff Bezos and brother
can say yeah, I've been a space yeah. See. According
to my very quick Google search. Jeff Bezos and company
(28:41):
went about three times as high as the Red Bull Jump.
The Red Bull Jump guy, I have him at about
one hundred and twenty thousand feet and Bezos I think
was up to like three fifty something. But aren't you're
not orbiting anything. You just go up and then like
you turn on your blinker and then you'd come back down. Yeah,
(29:02):
signal you turn yeah and start falling. Put your put
your arm out, you know, a good turn left here?
Yes time. Don't you kind of have to spend the
night just today, say you were in States. It just
seems kind of weird. It seems more like an amusement
park ride. You went up, but you came down, Okay,
all right? Um, you know it might be like that
Arrowsmith ride. Have you guys been on that Arrowsmith Disney?
(29:23):
Not Disney, it's at I've done that. Um, it's at
another park. But but yeah, you do the Aerosmith ride
where you that you know, you drop like a sixty
feet or something like the band Aerosmith. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah,
they have their own ride. I think that's pretty cool.
I think they have a roller coaster ride Disney. Yeah,
(29:44):
I went on it. It's good you do. Yeah, it's
like music related. Yes, ton it's called ride this way.
I think okay, well this way, okay, all right. I
think he's right. No, oh it is. That's a total
I was four months ago. I think he's right. Okay.
Instead of walk this way, ride this way, Jeff Bezos
has to he has to clear it with his people,
saying like this counts a space, right, I didn't spend
(30:05):
like two hundred million dollars on this. And then he
wants it to be reusable, which is great. I mean
it should be. You don't want to just go up
and he's got the money. But if we're gonna have
space travel, like how crowded is space going to get
at some point? And you're gonna have these outliers, like
how much do you have to have? Somebody says, all right,
(30:27):
you're allowed to do this now. Some of you know,
Jimmy Lipper in his backyard and his brother get liquored
up and they're like, we're going to the moon. Ye. Hypothetically,
Let's say if Jeff Bezos knew you I was a
fan of the show and said, hey, Dan, I'm paying
it's on my tab. We're going to space for ten
twelve minutes. You want to go with me? From a
danger standpoint, do you think you would have done it?
(30:48):
You Bezos and a couple other bros. Six pack. I'd
have to do a little bit of research on exactly
what we're going up in, but what I do that? Yes, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. See. Would you rather go to space with
Bezos or Richard Branson? Rich Richard Branson. I'd rather go
(31:09):
to space with him to because I think we're gonna
have more fun when we touched down. He's got a
cooler story for sure. Well, Branson has fun, Like Branson
lives like a billionaire. He has his own island, and
everybody's naked when they jet ski. From what I'm told,
you know, just yeah, yeah, it just sounds like it'd
be a little bit more fun when we touched down. Yeah, point,
(31:30):
But I think I'd have a better chance with the
ladies in space if I was with Bezos than Branson.
Branson's a good looking dude. Yeah he's bass ladies. Yeah,
he's a swashbuckler that Branson. Well, Bezos has taken he
has a girlfriend, Oh he does. Branson sort of a
modern day pirate. Ye got kind of a pirate vibe
for some reason. Yes, yes, time, But do you want
the space ladies with the third eyeball in the middle
of the fore legs? What if? I know we always
(31:54):
portray anybody these aliens that they look really really weird.
What do they look like, your buddy Tim? Yeah, like
the guy comes down and gets out of the thing.
What if it's you know, they look like Sophia Viagara
and you're going, what you know? But they've always got
that either one eye or a third eye. Yes time.
How did we come up with that? Then? Why does
it have to be like that that aliens have to
(32:15):
look ridiculous, be purple or green in color? I don't
know how that comes up. And then what do they
think when they see us? They're like, oh my, just
too oh wow, look at that guy. Yes, I'm watching
today's show. Has got a feed of Jeff Bezos landing
in the capsule and he's getting out and he gives
a thumbs up. He totally missed the chance. He should
have had like a package from Amazon Prime and got
out like he was delivering it to someone. How do
(32:36):
you miss that marketing opportunity you could have had somebody
who's rescuing him, right, and he's got the Amazon package there, right,
He's got like a pair of flip flops in a
box and he hands it to What a mistake. I know.
All right, we'll take a break. I don't know what
we accomplished here in the first thirty nine minutes, but
we'll come back. It's still early. Got a rally caps on.

Found this interesting. There have been one hundred thirty eight
walk off wins this year, the most in baseball through
(34:51):
July nineteen since twenty eleven. Twelve walk off home runs
in July already the most in a calendar month since
of last year. Everybody's trying to hit bombs. You're trying
to end a game that way with one swing of
the bat. All right, got a new poll. It's Aaron
(35:12):
Rodgers holds out and then plays for the Packers. Aaron
Rodgers reports to camp on time, Aaron Rodgers gets traded.
What would I pick today? I'm gonna say Rogers holds
out then plays for the Packers this season. Maybe he
doesn't show up on time, maybe he shows up a
day later. Maybe it's just to tweak him a little bit,
(35:35):
make him nervous a little bit. I don't think he
misses any games. But Adam Schefter's tweet that we read
to you that the Packers did offer Rogers a two
year contract extension that would have tied him up to
Green Bay for five more seasons and made him the
highest paid quarterback in football. Rodgers declined the offer. Proof
(35:56):
it's not about the money. From what I was told
the language, Rogers wanted to be assured he was going
to be a starting quarterback and that he was going
to be the highest paid quarterback. So it's not news.
I think that it's a you know a little bit
more detailed that the two year extension and that would
(36:16):
have tied him up for five more years. The timing
of this coming out because I go back to after
the Super Bowl and you know when we started to
sort of read between the lines when Rogers when they
bowed out after losing to Tampa Bay and he wasn't
quite sure. And then we're like, wait, boy, that was
that was cryptic. And then we thought, oh, he just frustrated.
(36:37):
He just lost the NFC title game. And then heard
that the Rams were interested in him, the Niners were
interested in him, and that he was frustrated. And then
there was the Hey, he wants to get language that
assures him he's going to be the starting quarterback and
basically you're going to rub out Jordan Love and you're
(37:00):
not going to get anything for him. Hey, you drafted
him and you got him for five years. Good luck,
because he's not planning, he's not getting in front of me.
That's what I was told. But that's a while ago,
and you know, Cheft, it feels like this is from
Aaron Rodgers agent. In the latter part of this where
it says proof it's not about the money, Well, is
(37:22):
that Adam's opinion that it's not about the money, or
is it the agent saying to Adam, hey, I told
you it's not about the money. What is it about?
Then That's what I would ask Adam Schefter. How about
we report on what is this about? If you know
what it's not about, tell me what it is about.
(37:45):
When was the offer me? What did Rogers ask for?
Are they in talks? Have they stopped talking? I got
a lot of questions here, I got a lot of questions.
I'm from Cincinnati. I'm just outside of Cincinnati, and you know,
(38:05):
I'm territorial at times. I love where I grew up,
love the people. Everybody's territorial where they grew up. Or
there could be a you know, type of food that
you grew up with and your territorial. You know, PAULI
loves Chicago hot dogs and they're terrible, and Polly likes
Chicago pizza and it's terrible, but Paul loves it and
that's fine. He likes old style beer. I'm okay with that.
(38:27):
There you go, Yeah, I mean, I'm good with that,
like I'm being an acorn. And then it comes to Cincinnati,
not exactly a food capital of the world, but we
take pride in gold Star Chili or Skyline Chili, and
it's it's kind of soupy chili put on spaghetti and
got a lot of cheese, and it's a topping, is
(38:48):
what it is. I mean, it's not ideal for everybody,
and I normally don't have it unless I've had a
couple of beers, but it is ours and they've been
doing it. I have a gold Start Chili T shirt
that my daughter gave to me this past Christmas. You know,
they've been serving this since nineteen forty nine. It's like Whitecastle.
Nobody has Whitecastle Hamburgers until after midnight, it feels like,
(39:10):
but I love them. Yeah. See, that's when Skyline chili
is meant to be eaten, sort of that post bar crowd.
I think so, I think because that makes a huge
difference with Whitecastle. You know, time of day that you're
eating it, in a certain state that you're in. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Also to preface this, whatever city you live in around America,
whenever someone visits you say you gotta go here, you
(39:33):
gotta try this. And the first time I went to
Cincinnati of visiting my sister at Miana, Ohio, people said
you gotta get Skyline or gold Star Chili dogs. And
I was like, okay, and I made sure it is
on my list top thing gotta go. So it's one
of those places. It sets up high expectations when you're
a visitor to the town. Now, the reason why I
bring this up is Gary Cohen is the final announcer
for the New York Commits and they're playing the Cincinnati Reds,
(39:55):
and he had this to say last night. This is
the local delicacy known as Skyline Chili, the five way
with the spaghetti and the beans and the cheese. Five way. First,
the disgusting chili gravy and what you put on the
onions You put some mustard or something, and I wait
(40:18):
the second winding, after the onions comes the cheese. And
that's what makes it the five way. Here we go
is the cheese. Put like ten tons of shredded cheese
on there. And this is supposed to be food that
you actually eat. Now does the cheese molt? Or is that? Nie? Ronnie?
Have you ever had Skyline chilie? Have not? I would
recommend well, no, you need to try everything once. Okay,
(40:41):
it doesn't kill it makes you stronger. Try it once
and then you'll never eat it again. Okay, that's Gary Cohen,
who is supposed to be just play by play, it
feels like he's being an analyst there, just saying, Gary,
just do the play by play. Just do the play.
Are you this honest about the New York met That's
what I would want to know. If you're gonna be
that honest about gold Star Chili. I hope that you
(41:05):
are have the unvarnished truth about the New York Mets,
and then you're fine to criticize gold Star Skyline Chili.
He did say to try it, but I know that
Anthony Bourdaine tried it and he didn't say not to
eat it. It's original. It's America, that's what it is.
(41:26):
It's a combination of a lot of things. That's what
Anthony Bourdaine said. Yeah, it's America, that's what it is.
Is this Cincinnati Dan right now on the air. Yeah,
but I look, I'm okay with gold Star and Skyline right,
but it's not one of those where I go, God,
I can't wait to get home, and you can't order
a can of the Skyline chili online and get it delivered.
(41:48):
My brothers have done that around the country. Yeah, see
it does. The chili does look a lot better on
a hot dog than it does on spaghetti. For some reason,
the spaghetti thing really throws me off. I'm not a
spaghetti guy the five way or four way. But if
you give me a couple of chili dogs, it's pretty good. No,
it's it serves a purpose there, This isn't you know?
(42:11):
Michelin Star dining. Yeah. Point. The top two trending topics
in America half an hour ago were in order, Jeff Bezos, Space,
Skyline Chili, Gary Cohen, all right, to give an idea
of the importance, I said, And I would say Skyline
Chili should be number one, right, instead of a billionaire
going up for ten minutes and coming back down they're
(42:32):
doing every week. Those guys, yeah, like, okay, then nothing
to see here. But do I get territorial with Skyline
gold Star a little bit? But it's try it, But
I would recommend trying it later, you know, later in
the evening, and maybe have some beers. I think I
think Anthony born Dain recommended that you have beers, two
(42:56):
beers at least before you have it. There you go.
Not many food groups where you say, yeah, you gotta
be liquored up a little bit before you have it.
We'll keep an eye on this story. More information on
the Manning Brothers doing Monday Night football that is forthcoming,

Thank you, Todd. Also, we say good morning to our
radio affiliates numbering nearly four hundred cities around America. iHeartRadio
and also the Fox Sports Radio lineup. NBA playoffs feel
like they've been going on a long time. Remember when
Kevin Durant's tippy toes were on the three point line
(01:04):
and that nets Bucks series. It feels like last season,
doesn't it, or when Lebron was still in the playoffs.
Now the only playoffs he's in battling aliens in Space Jam.
I did watch the movie last night. I know it's
not meant for me. I'm not the target demo. And
I was a little bit surprised because Lebron's a villain
(01:28):
and then his son is in the movie, and I
just had a hard time kind of understanding. It felt
like life's lessons and you wanted to I just wanted
a damn cartoon. I just wanted to have something that
was pretty breezy there, a little deeper than I thought.
But and I'm not going to compare, you know, Lebron
(01:52):
to Michael in the Space Jam at Michael obviously, But
I did watch it a little bit. It just wasn't
as breezy as I thought that. That's the word. I
kept going, Man, I like this be a little more
lighthearted here. It was heavier than what I thought. Would
(02:13):
I recommend it, Yes, yeah, for somebody who is fourteen
and under, yeah, you would probably get a kick out
of it. Now, maybe as if you're a parent, you
might be watching and maybe you take away some life's
lessons there. But it wasn't what I thought it was
going to be. Was put it that way? Yeah? Point,
(02:34):
I'm just guessing here, But I bet Lebron's team. I
don't want to spoil anything. I don't want to spoil it.
I know that, Hey, I know he won at the
box office because there are a lot of people on
social media like, let's see what you do against Black
Widow And then all of a sudden, you go, the
number one movie in America is Space Jam, not Black
(02:54):
Widow anymore. So you think back when Lebron was in
the playoffs, how about Ben Simmons passing up that dunk
opportunity against the Atlanta Hawks or Paul George was actually
playoff p and did the Hawks actually make it to
the conference finals or was that a dream? So this
has been a long strange trip in the postseason. Two
(03:15):
games left. Maybe maybe it ends tonight. The drama the
series has been great and hopefully we get a few
more memorable moments before it's all said and done. The
long strange playoff road finally reaches its conclusion and you
start to think about NBA Finals and having covered quite
a few of them, you would always it felt like,
(03:37):
remember the moments made by the winning team. What's Phoenix's
signature moments so far? Exactly? Milwaukee got a couple of them,
you know, Drew Holliday, the steel, the alley to Yannis
Yannis with the block, like they got a couple of them,
(03:58):
and normally that team wins. It's a championship, and you
get this feeling that this is it. There's gonna be
sixty thousand fans outside the arena in Milwaukee. It feels
like they're going to have a parade tonight if Milwaukee
wins and wins its second NBA championship in the first
(04:19):
and fifty years. But if they don't win, can't imagine
what that sixty thousand is going to feel like outside
the building. As the series will then head back to Phoenix,
but we will approach tonight's Game six with John Barry
coming up next hour. Whole question who's doing the honors today, Paulie.
If you were a Milwaukee's Milwaukee Bucks fan who had
(04:41):
tickets to Game six at home tonight, and you could
sign a deal the Bucks lose tonight but win in
seven games and your team wins the AA title or
you go tonight and you roll the dice with whatever
happens in game six and seven, you're guaranteeing yourself a victory,
but it's not gonna be in the game. You're at
to put this perspective. I went to Game three and
(05:03):
four of the Cubs World Series in Chicago. They lost
both games, but they don't feel that bad because it
doesn't bother me now. But those two nights were two
rough nights. Oh you're a mess. Polly didn't get emotional.
I thought, God, I got it, this guy's gonna cry.
After Game four in Chicago, there was no public transportation.
(05:23):
You had to walk like eight blocks. It was like
a walk of drunken zombies who were upset us walk
in shame, shame. It was. Yeah, but if you could
sign that deal, if you're a bus, I would. I
would go to game six and just expect us to win.
I think the last time they lost was to the
Atlanta Hawks in the playoffs at home. I would roll
(05:46):
the dice. Now, Phoenix has been good on the road,
but I would roll the dice there and say we
got momentum, we're gonna sweep them. And lost the first two.
We're gonna win the next four. Yeah, See, gotta roll
the dice to be there in that atmosphere. If they
win Game six and you were there, got a roll
the dice. Any other poll questions suggestions? I have one.
If I would have told you a week ago that
(06:06):
Eli Manning would work in the media someday, your answer
would have been sure, maybe, no chance in hell. Well,
I thought that he was going to work with the Giants.
He has a role with the Giants. It's like a
business development type roble. Yeah, But as far as a
standalone media member where he's another analyst like Tony Romo,
the answer is no. But now he's going to pair
(06:27):
up with his brother and they're gonna do Monday night football.
It's it's great business by Eli and Peyton and Peyton's
Peyton's saying to ESPN, I don't want to work for you,
I want to work with you, and that's where you
own things, and then ESPN will then rent those things
by those things you already have Peyton's places. Do you
(06:49):
realize that he's got other athletes that are going to
be doing like Poppy Big Poppy's gonna do Poppy's places.
Abby wamback is going to do Abby's places. He's created this.
I don't know if it's a series of these shows.
I don't even know how to describe it. But he's
he's branching out where he's probably going to executive produce
(07:12):
these shows. Yeah, set, but she's kind of taking the
model that Kobe was had already started he you know,
details as a Kobe Bryant show. You know, he was
already selling content to ESPN and probably other providers or
other places. So it's sort of just an extension of that.
And then you wonder because when you start to think
of this decision that I kept waiting for Peyton, if
(07:35):
he was going to do Monday Night Football or somebody
else was going to reach out to him. If Troy
Aikman went into the front office for a football team
and Peyton decided he was going to do Fox, then
you realize that even the numbers where I was talking
to a TV exec and you could get some pretty
good numbers, you weren't going to get Tony Romo numbers,
(07:56):
but you were still going to be able to fly it,
you know, in and out at these places like that
was really important with Peyton, with his children and then
I thought, well, if you pair Eli and Peyton and
you do that on Monday Night, then you probably have
some magic there. But Peyton standing alone could do it.
(08:18):
But this allows Eli. Eli is the only guy who
could probably poke and jab Peyton Manning live on the air,
and you know your announcer probably can't. But if you're
able to get Eli in there with Peyton, Peyton's going
to dissect the game. Eli is going to be in there.
(08:38):
You're gonna have celebrities in there. I don't know who
your host is. You might as well have Cooper Manning,
the other brother in there. He worked for Fox, but
maybe you could loan him out and he could be
the pseudo host. And this is more of a come
on in watch the game with us. From what I'm
being told, it's it's like a viewing party, but the
(08:59):
analysis is going to be top shelf. Now you wonder,
okay is ESPN bastardizing It's Monday Night crew with Steve
Levy and Brian Greasy and Lewis Ridding. I think what
they're doing. And they do this with the National Title
Game with the MegaCast, where you have all of these
different channels and they're covering the event. You know, the
(09:21):
coach's corner, Bill Simmons, is able to do this. But
I think that's what's going to happen, and it probably
takes a little bit of the pressure off the Monday
Night team because you know, they, Okay, if you watched
Eli and Peyton, maybe you watch for a little while
and then you want to watch an actual broadcast of
the game, and then you may come back and it
(09:41):
might be a good thing for that team, because it
feels like ESPN has been trying for over two decades
to get Monday Night football right, and now you have
Eli and Peyton on the ESPN platform, but not on
the actual broadcast, and they're going to do ten of
these games on Monday Night. I'm curious to hear how
it sounds. But I was also surprised it's only ten games.
(10:06):
But they want to control the schedule. You know, Tony
Romo has got to do the whole season here. Peyton's
probably like going, hey, I'll do it, but this we
want to do this number of games there, and do
you go to each city? Is it something where Eli
and Peyton can watch a game and they're in New
Orleans at their parents out. I don't know, but it
(10:27):
feels like this is it's a brilliant business move. Peyton
Manning is doing what Shack is doing, and that is
you don't want to get paid for doing something. You
want to own a piece of something. When Shack comes
in and does you know pizza or the doorbell or
the general Shack goes, don't pay me, I want a
(10:48):
piece of this. And if you think about he's become
a billionaire with these business decisions. And I think other
athletes look at this and go, yeah, don't pay me
a fee, give me piece of the company. And if
I own the company, the fact that you want a
piece of it, I like that even more like you
are actually invested with me, and I like that. But
(11:09):
I think what Peyton is doing, he's got the power
to be able to do this, and the Mothership is
already in business with him, and they're going to be
doing Monday night football. This program brought to you by

until the Olympics, and there was I don't know how
to describe this, just to be fair to it, but
the head of the Olympic Organizing Committee, the Tokyo Olympic
Organizing Committee, talked about the possibility of canceling the Olympic
(11:53):
Games as more athletes tested positive for COVID nineteen. Now
he said he wouldn't rule it out. Now when you
see the headline, it becomes a little more ominous, it's
a little scarier there. But the head of the organizing
committee said, we can't predict what will happen with the
(12:14):
number of coronavirus cases, so we will continue discussions if
there is a spike in cases. We have agreed that
based on the coronavirus situation, we will convene five Party
talks again. At this point, the coronavirus cases may rise
or fall, so we will think about what we should
(12:34):
do when the situation arises. It's just one of those
that you've just tucking in a corner in your mind
and just go okay. Opening ceremonies coming up on Friday night.
Let's see anything else we need to mention here before
we take a break, Yes, Pauling, there is actual Aaron
(12:54):
Rodgers news, actual news ish, Yeah, I would say it
is okay, Okay, I'm about to email to you, okay
for for soaking in purpose Okay, all right, then we'll
take a break and we'll discount that. You can marinate
on that a bit. Yeah, yeah, right, it feels like news. Okay,
(13:16):
I think it is all right, all right, backtracking, I

Ceremony Tokyo Pics Friday, seven thirty Eastern one, NBC. Maybe
(15:07):
I mentioned this prior to the commercial break, that we
had maybe potential Aaron Rodgers News Adam Schefter reporting this offseason,
the Packers offered Aaron Rodgers a two year contract extension
that would have tied him to Green Bay for five
more years and made him the highest paid quarterback and
(15:28):
player in football. Rogers declined the offer, and then Cheft
ends his tweet proof it's not about the money. Now
it feels like at the very end, let me backtrack here,
I'll start at the end, Proof it's not about the
money feels like that's an opinion maybe that the agent
(15:51):
wants to send out. I'm just I'm going to read
between the lines here. Chefty gets a lot of his
information from agents, and it feels like, hey, yeah, we
declined the offer. Proof it's not about the money. That
one feels that just kind of hangs out there that
that sounds like what an agent would say. And why
is this being reported now? When was the offer made?
(16:15):
And when did he turn it down? Those are the
questions that I have right now. This makes Aaron look better,
right and and I don't know if he if he
just really doesn't want to be a Packer, Like that's
all I want to hear, like put us out of
our misery. You don't want to be there, then say
(16:35):
you don't want to be there. It just feels like
it's this Koi game, or maybe it's not so Koi
game of I don't know. Is he gonna show up.
I don't know. Is he gonna sit out, is he
gonna retire? He's gonna host jeopard Remember when that was
the storyline. Oh, he'll just do Jeopardy. Okay, that probably
(16:56):
is not going to suffice. I don't think that'll quench
his competitive thirst to be one of the great quarterbacks
of all time. That you're going to prematurely retire, I
understood Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer retired instead of playing for
the Bengals. That's how bad this situation was. And he
was true to his word, and then the Raiders traded
(17:18):
for him. I don't know if Aaron Rodgers says, hey,
I'm going to retire, I just I always want to
know the timing of it. Now, as far as the source,
I'm going to guess this is coming from Aaron Rodgers
agent and Chefty's reporting it as he does so well
that you're going to extend him for five more seasons. Now,
(17:38):
this isn't news because we had talked about this a
couple of months ago, I was told that he had
an offer to be the highest paid quarterback and that
he wanted to guarantee that he was going to be
the starting quarterback. I don't know if you can guarantee
that in the language of a contract, but that's what
I was told after the Super Bowl. To me, it's
(18:01):
a little more specific, but it's not breaking news. If
you want to say, all right, five more seasons, so
it'd be a two year contract extension. If you're gonna
make him the highest paid quarterback in the league, then
you're gonna want something out of this as well. But
when Rogers declines the offer and then proof it's not
(18:21):
about the money, is that cheft he's saying it's not
about the money. Is that the source saying it's not
about the money. Timing is really important with this too. Yes, Polly,
this feels a little newsy to me, because I guess
I'm a bit of a cynic. I always think everything's
about money. I thought that Aaron Rodgers and his agent
was playing this whole thing to get one last monster contract.
(18:42):
And it appears, if you believe Adam Schefter, that he
was offered one last monstrous contract to go into his forties,
and if he passed on that to me again, this
is face value, makes me think, boy, he really in
the near future maybe not this. You know, August wants
to be out of there, but Paully, why doesn't he
just say it? Does he want green Bay to be
(19:03):
the bad guy? Where green Bay goes We're gonna trade you? Yeah? See?
Is there semantics in this though, where it's not about
the money it's about the years or is that cutting
it too thin? It could be like, I don't I
don't know how petty this is getting or going to
get or was. I have no idea because Aaron has
(19:24):
not He's been coy with all of this. You know, Hey,
you're going to show up for camp. We'll see, Yeah,
we will. But the timing of this is interesting because
camp opens up next week and I don't know if
it's important for Aaron Rodgers to be beloved by Packer
fans right now, like, hey, I'm not the bad guy here, Like,
(19:48):
we get it. Your feelings were hurt, absolutely, I understand that.
But at some point you can't let the little thing
override the bigger picture here, and that is how important
is it to win you told us I don't know
how many months ago. Hey, I love the place, the history,
the fans, tradition, my coach, my player. Okay, so you
(20:13):
don't like one or two people in the front office,
don't let that impact what could be another magical season
for you. The Packers bet against you, get over it.
They thought you were going to be on the decline
and they drafted Jordan Love And I think if Aaron
(20:33):
was honest, he would say I had two substandard years. Okay,
I get it. They bet against you. You prove them wrong.
Now what do you want? I just want to know
when was this made? What did he ask for? What
are they asking for? Are they asking for anything? Because
(20:55):
is this just one of those where Rogers camp, you know,
is in Communicado and then the Packers go what about?
What about? And then what do you make a counter
offer here? But you did turn it down. Were there discussions?
When were the discussions? And why is this coming out
right now as we're a couple of days away from
(21:16):
the Packers reporting to Kim. That's so I'm curious about
the information a little more detailed, But there's nothing new
when it comes to being the highest paid player in
the game. I was told that a couple of months ago.
Proof it's not about the money man. It's always about
the money. On some level, it'll be about the money.
(21:38):
But as Green Bay moves forward, you know what is
the scenario next week Rogers shows up and then the
Packers go, we don't want you to be a distraction, okay,
and then what are you await You've already taken out
seven teams, eight teams, nine teams that somebody in the
(21:59):
NFL Home office said, you know, was surprised. If Aaron
wants out, he's limited the number of teams that he
could go to right now, and the Packers have limited
the number of trade partners. That was very puzzling here,
And I'll go back to the night of the draft
when Chefty had that information, which was just sort of
a culmination of reports and whispers and rumors. It felt
(22:24):
like it was imminent and if you were going to
trade Aaron Rodgers, that was the time to trade him.
Where everybody's on the clock and Aaron got his wish.
He has disrupted the Packers and their draft like he's
the center of attention with this and you could get out.
I truly believe Aaron Rodgers wanted to go to the Rams,
(22:48):
the Rams and the Niners, and the Niners still aren't
sold on Jimmy Garoppolo no matter what they say. But
the Rams went all in. And when you drafted Trey Lance,
now I've taken Aaron Rodgers out of the equation. You
gave up an awful lot for Trey Lance. If you
would have said to the Niners, what do you give
(23:09):
us for Aaron Rodgers? You could have if you think
Jordan Love can play, I got Jordan Love, I got
my starter. We're gonna take a little bit of a hit,
but look at what we've done for the future here.
But I have to believe I have no information that
Aaron Rodgers saw that Matthew Stafford deal and one of information, no, no,
(23:33):
that he had to go are you kidding me? Are
you kidding me? And then looked at the Niners and
realized that they were taking Trey Lance and probably when
are you kidding me? So now we're Denver, all right?
Got a young nucleus there, Raiders. I don't know, but
(23:54):
if you're the Packers, you have to get to the
point where you go, okay, are we going to do
something that's detrimental to our franchise. You gotta get You
gotta put egos to the side and make a business decision.
If you're Green Bay, you may not want to trade him.
You may not be one of the gun You don't
want to be known as the guy who traded Aaron Rodgers.
(24:14):
But you don't want to be the guy who held
on and had a grudge against Aaron Rodgers and then
didn't trade him and then you don't get anything. Are
you gonna wait till the next season? Is he gonna
play this season? Is he gonna sit out? Is he
gonna get cut? Yeah? Paul? How did the Packers come
(24:35):
off to their fans based off this report? They appear to,
if you believe the report, offer him a contract to
make him the highest paid NFL athlete of all time
and he passed, if you believe Adam Schefter's report. Well,
as a fan, if I'm a Packers fan, I go, hey,
we're trying our best. We're trying to give him everything possible.
But then when you get the yeah, they did do that.
(24:58):
But and Chefty puts it in his twet tweet proof
it's not about the money. Okay, we know that there's friction.
Can you get past the friction? And if not, ask
for a trade? And if you can't get past it
from the packers point of view, at what point do
you say there's diminishing returns here? Because you you could
(25:24):
have had eight to ten teams who probably would have
fallen all over themselves prior to the draft to trade
for Aaron Rodgers. And now what do you have? What
are you getting from Denver if that happens, what are
you getting from the Raiders? Who else is in there?
You just limited yourself. I'm just curious about the business
part of this. And I've said all along I thought
(25:45):
that Aaron Rodgers was going to play for Green Bay
this year. That I sent a message And now everybody
knows what I've been dealing with. And I'm going to
live up to my contract and I'm going to go
in there and continue to play, and then I'll play
for somebody else because they've already made their decision on
their quarterback. I'm going to make it so difficult for
(26:07):
them to make that decision. I'm going to come back
with another great year coming off the MVP. But that's why,
when you apply logic to this what is the endgame
for Aaron Rodgers? You get traded then say it? Yeah. See,
(26:28):
because if it was just something like a simple contract,
that's it would be so much easier to be like, no,
we're close, just working out the detail. Yeah, now we're close. Yeah.
Baffling really is really is all right? Age seven seven
three d P show email address DP at dan Patrick
dot com, Twitter handle a TP show. Once again, this
is Adam Schefter's report that the Packers offered Aaron Rodgers
(26:51):
a two year contract extension, so that would have tied
him up to Green Bay for five more years and
made him the highest paid quarterback and player in football.
Rogers declined the offer. Proof it's not about the money. Yes, point,
I have a new poll question. We scrubbed the old one.
He scrubbed him going for the space travel thing. Jeff Bezos,
by the way, he already went into space in his
(27:13):
back since we started the Aaron Rodgers story. Really yeah
Bezos and his brother Mark, Yeah, they their capsule went
up into space successfully and drop back down safely. How
long were they in space? Ten minutes? Does that count
as going into space? Well? How far do you have
to go into space to be into space. They called
it like a sub atmosphere, which I think. Okay, they
(27:38):
got in, they got well into zero gravity. Okay, did
the guy who did the Red Bull jump? Was he
up higher than Jeff bezos spaceship. Oh man, I don't know.
That was crazy. It was. That was one of the
craziest things I've ever seen. I can't watch it. I
cannot watch that again. It's just even thinking about it,
(27:59):
I'm like, oh my god, it like makes my stomach.
I can feel my Yeah, pully so Bezos. His ship
went up for ten minutes, straight up, and it looks
like a rocket ship, but kind of like a JV version.
It's a medium size because of only a couple of
dudes in it came back safely. Is that like, Let's
say you stop over at an airport. Let's say you've
never been a ship. You stopped over in Iceland, and
(28:19):
you want credit. You got off the plane, got off
the plane, But I was only in the airport. I
never left the airport. Can I say casually, yeah, I've
been Iceland? Yes, So Jeff Bezos, Jeff Bezos and brother
can say yeah, I've been a space yeah. See. According
to my very quick Google search. Jeff Bezos and company
(28:41):
went about three times as high as the Red Bull Jump.
The Red Bull Jump guy, I have him at about
one hundred and twenty thousand feet and Bezos I think
was up to like three fifty something. But aren't you're
not orbiting anything. You just go up and then like
you turn on your blinker and then you'd come back down. Yeah,
(29:02):
signal you turn yeah and start falling. Put your put
your arm out, you know, a good turn left here?
Yes time. Don't you kind of have to spend the
night just today, say you were in States. It just
seems kind of weird. It seems more like an amusement
park ride. You went up, but you came down, Okay,
all right? Um, you know it might be like that
Arrowsmith ride. Have you guys been on that Arrowsmith Disney?
(29:23):
Not Disney, it's at I've done that. Um, it's at
another park. But but yeah, you do the Aerosmith ride
where you that you know, you drop like a sixty
feet or something like the band Aerosmith. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah,
they have their own ride. I think that's pretty cool.
I think they have a roller coaster ride Disney. Yeah,
(29:44):
I went on it. It's good you do. Yeah, it's
like music related. Yes, ton it's called ride this way.
I think okay, well this way, okay, all right. I
think he's right. No, oh it is. That's a total
I was four months ago. I think he's right. Okay.
Instead of walk this way, ride this way, Jeff Bezos
has to he has to clear it with his people,
saying like this counts a space, right, I didn't spend
(30:05):
like two hundred million dollars on this. And then he
wants it to be reusable, which is great. I mean
it should be. You don't want to just go up
and he's got the money. But if we're gonna have
space travel, like how crowded is space going to get
at some point? And you're gonna have these outliers, like
how much do you have to have? Somebody says, all right,
(30:27):
you're allowed to do this now. Some of you know,
Jimmy Lipper in his backyard and his brother get liquored
up and they're like, we're going to the moon. Ye. Hypothetically,
Let's say if Jeff Bezos knew you I was a
fan of the show and said, hey, Dan, I'm paying
it's on my tab. We're going to space for ten
twelve minutes. You want to go with me? From a
danger standpoint, do you think you would have done it?
(30:48):
You Bezos and a couple other bros. Six pack. I'd
have to do a little bit of research on exactly
what we're going up in, but what I do that? Yes, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. See. Would you rather go to space with
Bezos or Richard Branson? Rich Richard Branson. I'd rather go
(31:09):
to space with him to because I think we're gonna
have more fun when we touched down. He's got a
cooler story for sure. Well, Branson has fun, Like Branson
lives like a billionaire. He has his own island, and
everybody's naked when they jet ski. From what I'm told,
you know, just yeah, yeah, it just sounds like it'd
be a little bit more fun when we touched down. Yeah, point,
(31:30):
But I think I'd have a better chance with the
ladies in space if I was with Bezos than Branson.
Branson's a good looking dude. Yeah he's bass ladies. Yeah,
he's a swashbuckler that Branson. Well, Bezos has taken he
has a girlfriend, Oh he does. Branson sort of a
modern day pirate. Ye got kind of a pirate vibe
for some reason. Yes, yes, time, But do you want
the space ladies with the third eyeball in the middle
of the fore legs? What if? I know we always
(31:54):
portray anybody these aliens that they look really really weird.
What do they look like, your buddy Tim? Yeah, like
the guy comes down and gets out of the thing.
What if it's you know, they look like Sophia Viagara
and you're going, what you know? But they've always got
that either one eye or a third eye. Yes time.
How did we come up with that? Then? Why does
it have to be like that that aliens have to
(32:15):
look ridiculous, be purple or green in color? I don't
know how that comes up. And then what do they
think when they see us? They're like, oh my, just
too oh wow, look at that guy. Yes, I'm watching
today's show. Has got a feed of Jeff Bezos landing
in the capsule and he's getting out and he gives
a thumbs up. He totally missed the chance. He should
have had like a package from Amazon Prime and got
out like he was delivering it to someone. How do
(32:36):
you miss that marketing opportunity you could have had somebody
who's rescuing him, right, and he's got the Amazon package there, right,
He's got like a pair of flip flops in a
box and he hands it to What a mistake. I know.
All right, we'll take a break. I don't know what
we accomplished here in the first thirty nine minutes, but
we'll come back. It's still early. Got a rally caps on.

July nineteen since twenty eleven. Twelve walk off home runs
in July already the most in a calendar month since
of last year. Everybody's trying to hit bombs. You're trying
to end a game that way with one swing of
the bat. All right, got a new poll. It's Aaron
(35:12):
Rodgers holds out and then plays for the Packers. Aaron
Rodgers reports to camp on time, Aaron Rodgers gets traded.
What would I pick today? I'm gonna say Rogers holds
out then plays for the Packers this season. Maybe he
doesn't show up on time, maybe he shows up a
day later. Maybe it's just to tweak him a little bit,
(35:35):
make him nervous a little bit. I don't think he
misses any games. But Adam Schefter's tweet that we read
to you that the Packers did offer Rogers a two
year contract extension that would have tied him up to
Green Bay for five more seasons and made him the
highest paid quarterback in football. Rodgers declined the offer. Proof
(35:56):
it's not about the money. From what I was told
the language, Rogers wanted to be assured he was going
to be a starting quarterback and that he was going
to be the highest paid quarterback. So it's not news.
I think that it's a you know a little bit
more detailed that the two year extension and that would
(36:16):
have tied him up for five more years. The timing
of this coming out because I go back to after
the Super Bowl and you know when we started to
sort of read between the lines when Rogers when they
bowed out after losing to Tampa Bay and he wasn't
quite sure. And then we're like, wait, boy, that was
that was cryptic. And then we thought, oh, he just frustrated.
(36:37):
He just lost the NFC title game. And then heard
that the Rams were interested in him, the Niners were
interested in him, and that he was frustrated. And then
there was the Hey, he wants to get language that
assures him he's going to be the starting quarterback and
basically you're going to rub out Jordan Love and you're
(37:00):
not going to get anything for him. Hey, you drafted
him and you got him for five years. Good luck,
because he's not planning, he's not getting in front of me.
That's what I was told. But that's a while ago,
and you know, Cheft, it feels like this is from
Aaron Rodgers agent. In the latter part of this where
it says proof it's not about the money, Well, is
(37:22):
that Adam's opinion that it's not about the money, or
is it the agent saying to Adam, hey, I told
you it's not about the money. What is it about?
Then That's what I would ask Adam Schefter. How about
we report on what is this about? If you know
what it's not about, tell me what it is about.
(37:45):
When was the offer me? What did Rogers ask for?
Are they in talks? Have they stopped talking? I got
a lot of questions here, I got a lot of questions.
I'm from Cincinnati. I'm just outside of Cincinnati, and you know,
(38:05):
I'm territorial at times. I love where I grew up,
love the people. Everybody's territorial where they grew up. Or
there could be a you know, type of food that
you grew up with and your territorial. You know, PAULI
loves Chicago hot dogs and they're terrible, and Polly likes
Chicago pizza and it's terrible, but Paul loves it and
that's fine. He likes old style beer. I'm okay with that.
(38:27):
There you go, Yeah, I mean, I'm good with that,
like I'm being an acorn. And then it comes to Cincinnati,
not exactly a food capital of the world, but we
take pride in gold Star Chili or Skyline Chili, and
it's it's kind of soupy chili put on spaghetti and
got a lot of cheese, and it's a topping, is
(38:48):
what it is. I mean, it's not ideal for everybody,
and I normally don't have it unless I've had a
couple of beers, but it is ours and they've been
doing it. I have a gold Start Chili T shirt
that my daughter gave to me this past Christmas. You know,
they've been serving this since nineteen forty nine. It's like Whitecastle.
Nobody has Whitecastle Hamburgers until after midnight, it feels like,
(39:10):
but I love them. Yeah. See, that's when Skyline chili
is meant to be eaten, sort of that post bar crowd.
I think so, I think because that makes a huge
difference with Whitecastle. You know, time of day that you're
eating it, in a certain state that you're in. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Also to preface this, whatever city you live in around America,
whenever someone visits you say you gotta go here, you
(39:33):
gotta try this. And the first time I went to
Cincinnati of visiting my sister at Miana, Ohio, people said
you gotta get Skyline or gold Star Chili dogs. And
I was like, okay, and I made sure it is
on my list top thing gotta go. So it's one
of those places. It sets up high expectations when you're
a visitor to the town. Now, the reason why I
bring this up is Gary Cohen is the final announcer
for the New York Commits and they're playing the Cincinnati Reds,
(39:55):
and he had this to say last night. This is
the local delicacy known as Skyline Chili, the five way
with the spaghetti and the beans and the cheese. Five way. First,
the disgusting chili gravy and what you put on the
onions You put some mustard or something, and I wait
(40:18):
the second winding, after the onions comes the cheese. And
that's what makes it the five way. Here we go
is the cheese. Put like ten tons of shredded cheese
on there. And this is supposed to be food that
you actually eat. Now does the cheese molt? Or is that? Nie? Ronnie?
Have you ever had Skyline chilie? Have not? I would
recommend well, no, you need to try everything once. Okay,
(40:41):
it doesn't kill it makes you stronger. Try it once
and then you'll never eat it again. Okay, that's Gary Cohen,
who is supposed to be just play by play, it
feels like he's being an analyst there, just saying, Gary,
just do the play by play. Just do the play.
Are you this honest about the New York met That's
what I would want to know. If you're gonna be
that honest about gold Star Chili. I hope that you
(41:05):
are have the unvarnished truth about the New York Mets,
and then you're fine to criticize gold Star Skyline Chili.
He did say to try it, but I know that
Anthony Bourdaine tried it and he didn't say not to
eat it. It's original. It's America, that's what it is.
(41:26):
It's a combination of a lot of things. That's what
Anthony Bourdaine said. Yeah, it's America, that's what it is.
Is this Cincinnati Dan right now on the air. Yeah,
but I look, I'm okay with gold Star and Skyline right,
but it's not one of those where I go, God,
I can't wait to get home, and you can't order
a can of the Skyline chili online and get it delivered.
(41:48):
My brothers have done that around the country. Yeah, see
it does. The chili does look a lot better on
