What did Mike McCarthy say about Aaron Rodgers during his introduction?
The Steelers introduced Mike McCarthy as their new head coach. Oh, how'd that go? I guess fine. I only saw a couple of clips.
He wants Aaron Rodgers back, it sounds like.
Right, so that's where we'll pick it up, where he was asked that very question.
I'm not asking this from any other perspective except your own personal preference. In your best-case scenario, do you want Aaron Rodgers back as your quarterback next year?
That's a nice way he asked that, right? That was slick. I mean, definitely. I mean, obviously, why you wouldn't? And then he did make it very clear Rodgers needs his time away. He's an old man at this point in football. The game is so emotional, you know, what these men commit to and what they put into it. I think that time away is important.
What are McCarthy's personal preferences regarding Aaron Rodgers' return?
And, you know, and I have spoken to Aaron. And so that's really where, you know, that's really where we are there. That's good. They spoke to each other. That's great. You'd love to have him back. I saw some of the other stuff. It went exactly the way I thought it was going to be. Pittsburgh's my soul. Pittsburgh. Grew up in Crampton. My buddy, Archie, owns a bar on the south side. Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh. I've been putting fries on my salad since 1978. Pittsburgh. That's a thing in Pittsburgh, Coach? Fries on salad, yeah. Really? Oh, yeah. That's the Pittsburgh way. I couldn't believe it. Is there a condiment or a salad dressing that you use with that or no? It depends. Personal preference.
But, yeah. When I first got there and I was trying to be healthier and ordered a salad, the waitress goes, would you like the fries on the top of the salad? I said, excuse me? She's like, what? Yeah, fries. Everybody gets it with fries. I'm like, well, because no. Well, thank you. Yeah, that's a new one. Never heard that one. What else? The Jets fired offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrom. They didn't really fire him. They reassigned him. Some stories say they fired him. Yeah, I don't think he was fired. I think it was more of a mutual party in a way because Tanner Engstrom does have some pride. And I think Aaron wanted to, well, as I understand it, I think Aaron wanted to keep him, just reassign him. But if you're Tanner Engstrom, you can't do that.
Oh, yeah, I bet. I said that exact thing yesterday. The digital team posted, if I'm him, I go to another organization because you're demoting me after giving me total turd for the quarterback position. I mean, you were trying to lose games with Brady Cook, and now you're going to demote me? Like, go F yourself. That's what I would have said. Hopefully you did say it. which I wanted to write back to Stephen Waldron last night because as the game fell apart late for Rutgers and not Indiana, Michigan State hits the game tying three. I got a text from Stephen Waldron. I hope you were close enough to Raph to hear him yell onions. I really wanted to say F off. I mean, I can't believe Stephen Waldron would do that to you.
He did. What are we doing? He must be supporting you. Yeah, I know. He's more of a hemorrhoid than anything these days, Steven. I like Steven. I didn't care for that text in that moment, though. He's been his hemorrhoid self. Hemorrhoid Steven, yes. The Bills promoted Joe Brady to head coach. The Mets introduced Freddie Peralta on a Zoom. Here is Peralta.
He is ready to be a Met. And being honest, I'm really happy about, you know, to be here in New York and represent the New York Mets organization.
He did say he didn't expect to be traded, which I thought was interesting because I feel like his name was rumored, you know, a lot of the winter. Especially with a contract year. You know what? I hope this Met locker room is like crazy. I want it to be happy. I want it to be like just like exuberant. Obviously, winning is going to be a big part of that, but personalities. And this guy, reading about this guy, Freddy Peralta, used to have a bunch of guys over his house and party and have a good time with his teammates. Nice. Sounds like a great add to the group and exactly what you wanted. You wanted a top-end starter, you got one.
