00:00Shady's back. Tell a friend, Joe. Tell a friend in Pittsburgh because the worst kept secret in
00:05the history of the NFL is once again, I don't know if I want to play. I'll tell you when
00:10it's
00:10my time at this point right now. Don't worry about me. I'll let you know. And they did let
00:15them know. Aaron Rodgers back with the Pittsburgh Steelers one-year deal up to $25 million. No
00:22longer Mike Tomlin. It's Mike McCarthy in the building, his old head coach. Does this move
00:27the needle for Joe Ranieri? He's back, Joe, in Pittsburgh, black and gold.
00:31Well, yeah, I mean, it absolutely has to move the needle. I mean, I had them pegged at three wins
00:38with Aller, and now I've got them at least four wins, Donnie, with a 42-year-old quarterback who
00:45looks about as disinterested as humanly possible, not to mention you have the highest paid defense
00:51in the league, and you couldn't stop a nosebleed last year. So, yeah, no, I think things are going
00:57well in Pittsburgh. You got your man all 42 years of him. Congrats. Enjoy.
01:04You know, it's funny about the NFL, too. It's like you never want to throw away football seasons
01:07because people love football so much, and Pittsburgh is used to winning seasons, but
01:11they're not a championship organization anymore. If you are a true Steelers fan, you say, okay,
01:15Aaron Rodgers coming back. Usually the excitement is good young football team building or we're at the
01:20peak. We're going for the Super Bowl this year. Like there is no in-between at this point where
01:24you get on that treadmill like, all right, nine and eight, bounced early, or maybe it goes a little
01:29bit worse. It's interesting to see what Pittsburgh fans have. Oh, great. Aaron Rodgers is back. What
01:33does that mean? We watched it last year. It didn't mean too much at this point. We'll find out much
01:37more, but Joe, we got other news and notes there from the same division. Could this be true? We got
01:42a
01:42Jeremy Fowler report that says Watson has hit it off with Todd Munkin, their new head coach at OTAs.
01:48They can't be starting Deshaun Watson. Can they? Is this charade still going on?
01:55Well, I mean, listen, Donnie, you paid him 200 and plus million dollars. Somebody better get some
02:03money's worth out of him at some point if he can still play the game. And I don't think anybody
02:07knows that he can play the game anymore. But if there is a shot, you got a $250 million investment.
02:16Somebody better make sure every rock is turned over and make sure he can't play.
02:23Maybe I give the Browns a little bit of credit where I probably shouldn't. Could it just be,
02:28Joe? Hey, look, let's rehab the guy enough to get a sixth round pick for the guy and bump him
02:33right out. If somebody gets injured and you can have them off our hands, because there's no reason
02:37they actually paid this guy. I know he was injured for the most part, but usually when a player gets
02:41injured, you want him around the team, he's going to be rehabbing. Can't wait to get my starting
02:44quarterback that I'm paying hundreds of millions of dollars to, but they basically paid him.
02:48Just stay away. We don't even want you in the facility to now. Welcome back. Open arms,
02:52new coach here. Maybe you can be the starter. We'll find out. But if it is just to bring him
02:56back to trade him, then it makes sense. If it's actually to be our starting quarterback,
03:01then we'll certainly find out. Pro Football Talk tweeted,
03:03the accelerator program is back after last year's cancellation, which means 34-year-old candidates
03:08or 34 candidates for 2026 include Chargers, offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, and Chiefs,
03:14offensive coordinator Eric Biennemi. Man, Biennemi's back as a Chiefs. Was he coaching
03:18like high school last year? Where'd that guy go?
03:22Yeah. Well, listen, that's actually not a bad thing because they looked a little bit
03:26undisciplined. Did they not last year, Donnie, to say the least? That did not look like your
03:32typical, you know, offense that we were used to seeing. I think he brings back a little
03:38discipline. I think he brings back, you know, it's time to put it together here because the
03:44window is closing, Donnie, if we're being honest here on a couple of teams and a couple of quarterbacks
03:49here.
