00:00Here we go, Steelers. Here we go. Big win last week against the Cincinnati Bengals,

00:05but it came at a cost. Aaron Rodgers did break his left wrist here. He's saying there's a chance

00:09he plays this weekend and his wrist feels much better than what it felt, but also at the same

00:13time, you got to be smart about this because it's about protecting yourself if you fall down. But

00:18you know what team that absolutely gets owned by? That's the Chicago Bears getting owned by any team

00:23that it seems like Aaron Rodgers plays against. Here's what I'm talking about, the Bears.

00:30There's incentive for every opponent, but I have enjoyed many a Sunday and Monday and

00:36many Thursdays in that city. It's a great sports town. Phenomenal sports fans and

00:44great place to play. Do you sort of frap off of being the villain there a little bit?

00:49Do you sort of enjoy that? I'd rather not be. I mean, I'm not in Green Bay anymore. I feel like

00:54we can let bygones be bygones, maybe. I can, I guess. It's been, it's a great rivalry. I mean,

01:03in the history of all sports, you talk about the Lakers and the Celtics and the Red Sox and the

01:09Yankees. You got to talk about the Packers and the Bears. And there's been some great memories there.

01:15When I first got to Green Bay, the Bears had the all-time series lead. When I left,

01:19Packers did. Since J-Love has taken over, it's even gotten better. But I hope, I hope those fans

01:27can put that, put that behind them. I'm sure they can't. Don't expect them to. But I really enjoy

01:33the city. They got a great sports fan. I grew up watching WGN on my five, five channel TV back in

01:39the day. So I was a Cubs fan and a Bulls fan. How can I be a Bulls fan unless you don't like Michael

01:44Jordan? I did. I loved him. So it was a lot of fun memories over the years playing there.

01:50There you go. Aaron Rodgers, you know, talking about the past there, always hammering the Chicago

01:54Bears. But the question is, will he be hammering them this weekend, Joe? A broken wrist at a

01:58quarterback. You might have a broken wrist, let's just say, for a defensive line. Maybe put the club

02:01on your hand. They say, okay, I'll deal with it. You can't do that as a quarterback. You're going to be

02:05falling down left and right, taking hits. I can't see him playing this week. I just can't.

02:09Yeah. It's so funny watching that interview. I mean, Aaron Rodgers in a Pittsburgh uniform

02:15in a Pittsburgh locker room going on five minutes about the great history and rivalry between the

02:22Bears and the Packers and how the Packers have dominated him since him. And now it's Jay Love

02:27have been quarterback. Very interesting there. I guess that's what happens when you're 41 years old

02:34here. You start to reflect if you're still playing in the NFL instead of the task at hand,

02:39which is the Pittsburgh Steelers better beat the Bears here. Otherwise, you're going to swing that

02:45door wide open for the Baltimore Ravens to take over first place here. So this is a big game.

02:52Listen, I think if he can go and he's not and everything that we're hearing is that it was

02:58very painful on Sunday, wasn't painful yesterday. If he practices today, he's likely going in the

03:06game. So we'll see how it goes. Does he practice today? Well, tell us.
