Recap
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers is a diva for returning to the Packers and taking Blake Bortles' job
Aaron Rodgers decided that he was going to be a diva and take Blake Bortles' job. [Bortles] got cut, Aaron Rodgers un-retired. I know deep down I was like he's obviously gonna come back, but I also believed that maybe he would actually retire.
PFT CommenterTennis is a lifestyle or a leisure, not a real sport
I would say that tennis is more of an event. Yeah. Tennis is a lifestyle. Not really a sport. If you pick up a sport after you retire, that's not a sport. The thing they always say like, 'Hey, take up golf and tennis because you can play it for your whole life.' Well, that's not a sport. It's a leisure.
Big CatThe Green Bay Packers are the least desirable team to play for in the NFL
The Green Bay Packers are a classless organization by cutting Blake Bortles. Probably least desirable team to play for in the NFL, according to Aaron Rodgers, not me, Aaron Rodgers. If you're a free agent listening to the show right now, Will Compton, don't you dare go to the Green Bay Packers because they will mistreat you.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers will retire mid-season before a divisional game to maximize pain for the Packers
If he is actually a man that believes what he says, he's going to retire in the middle of the season before a game against the division rival to inflict maximum pain upon the Green Bay Packers. So Aaron, I would suggest maybe quitting before a game against the Bears, maybe the day of a game against the Bears.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers will become a year-to-year mercenary on one-year contracts after this season
I think this will be the last year for Aaron, because I think what he wants to do is he wants to do a sign-and-trade next year. He wants to go someplace for a one-year contract and then be a mercenary year-to-year, and then just go ring chasing all across maybe another four years after that playing for various teams.
PFT CommenterMercedes' current F1 strategy is intentionally taking out Red Bull at every turn
Mercedes, essentially their strategy now is just take out Red Bull at all times, which is sick. And then yeah, Lewis Hamilton, Sir Lewis Hamilton is the goat.
Big CatHigh jumpers splitting a gold medal is the equivalent of quitting competition
The cutter and the Italian guy tied for high jump, and then they split the gold. I would do the same thing if given the opportunity to be like, 'Hey, you can quit now and get a gold medal.' That's the best of both worlds for me. But for the people who were like, 'Simone Biles is a quitter,' they should be mad about that. Because this is the most like—this is competition and you just tie. You must have consistency on this one.
Interview
Peyton ManningI realized early that to get an edge I had to out-prepare everyone because I couldn't out-throw or out-run anyone
I came to the realization that I couldn't out-throw anybody. I couldn't throw it 85 yards down the field like a Brett Favre. I couldn't outrun anybody clearly. I realized that to get an edge, I had to try to out-prepare anybody. I told myself that I was [working harder]. The main people I was trying to outwork was our opponent. It gave me confidence to go full speed ahead.
Peyton ManningRookie quarterbacks like Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson should start immediately and play all 16 games to learn
I'm a believer in putting those guys in right away, put [Zach] Wilson in, put [Trevor] Lawrence in and let them play. Let them see how fast these defenses are. They're going to figure it out a lot sooner. I would like to get that [28 interceptions] record off my resume, and if Trevor Lawrence wants to break that this year, I am for it. But you got to be a 16-game starter to do it.
Peyton ManningThe quality of a spiral is overrated; wobbly touchdowns count just the same
Every one of my records is getting broken... but nobody's throwing more wobbly touchdowns than me. Okay. I mean, the spiral is overrated, right? As long as it gets there. And the good thing about the wobbly pass, a lot of dropped interceptions. Because these guys playing defense, a perfect spiral right in their hands they're going to catch, but a wobbly pass, there's a good chance they're going to drop it.
