What are the implications of Aaron Rodgers' performance this season?
Limits, now there's a story on Trib Live about me returning to my journalism roots there. I'm reading it right now. Can you read the last line about my family? I really enjoyed that.
It says, a native of Long Island, New York, Starkey grew up in Buffalo and endured four Bills losses in four consecutive Super Bowls, but only after moving to Pittsburgh in 1989 to attend graduate school at Duquesne University. He lives in Green Tree with his wife, Susie, his daughter, Marianne, and a tiny dog named Bailey.
Bailey finally gets the press that he deserves. I'm glad.
I love Bailey.
Yeah. You've met Bailey. He likes you, too.
I have multiple times. Great dog.
He's very trusting of the world. Again, on this morning's walk, he just walks up to random people from the Duquesne light, somebody from a tree service and just makes friends right away.
Muffin used to bark at people when like they would approach the door or saw a car coming down the driveway. But then as soon as somebody would enter the house, would immediately go up to them and try to, you know, embrace them.
Yeah. Very nice of Muffin. Shouldn't we all live our lives that way limits? Well, I guess not. You can't be too friendly at times, right? Um,
Now she just doesn't bark at people when they walk into the door. She just goes up to them immediately, says hello, and then goes back to sleeping.
We always say if somebody, a stranger, tried to break into our house or something, that Bailey would be friends with them in like a minute. He pretends he's a watchdog and barks. Yes. But then as soon as somebody walks in, he thinks they may have food and wants to be friends right away.
Muffin is always on guard. But when it comes to protecting the household... Not good. I worry about her capabilities, yes. Right.
Not good. How about the future of the quarterback? Listen, I just had a horrifying thought here. I can open the show every year at this time and say it's time to move on to Tomlin. The horrifying thought I have after a brief discussion with Malzi is this. There's a better percentage chance that they run the whole damn thing back with the quarterback and the coach than there is not. Do you agree with that? There is a better percentage chance that both the quarter and the quarterback was pretty good this year. The coach was okay. But it just wound up in a worse spot than ever. It wound up in another ditch.
Crowley gave the coach an A for his performance in the regular season. I think they might run the whole thing back. Well, we've already seen reporting that they're interested in bringing the quarterback back. And Rodgers has been noncommittal either way on retirement or coming back. He's kind of just left it out there in the open for what he might want to do. I would agree with Malzi. There's probably a higher likelihood that they keep the coach.
No, no, no. I didn't say Malzi said that. I just said that I, after a conversation with Malzi, it struck me that that could very well be the case.
I would agree with you then. Yes.
This is incringulant.
I mean, let's talk about living in purgatory.
This is not incringulant. It's the opposite of incringulant. This is crazy is what it is. Do we still have phone calls limits or should we go to Aaron Rogers?
All right, let's get back to the phones then. Your choice. Savvy old news sound. Please. And I see your tweets out there as well.
Yep.
I just gave it a retweet.
And Bailey's in the tweet as well.
Here is Gavin. He's in Morgantown. How are you guys?
Good. What's up, man?
What's up? So I first wanted to talk about the game before the quarterback day. I felt like they kind of gave up on their scheme last night.
On what?
I'm driving through the tunnel right now. I apologize.
No, that's okay. I didn't hear you.
I think they gave up on their scheme last night with Jalen Warren and Kenny Gainwell. They did not get the ball enough. I mean... You talk about Johnny Smith, Pat Frymuth, they both had, what, like 300 receiving yards this year? That's supposed to be the scheme, correct? That's the one, this heavy package, this heavy set.
