Former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee, who is an absolute fan-favorite personality in the sports world, continues to prove why his show is head and shoulders above the competition.
To compliment his charisma, he has an extremely well-rounded crew, which even features former Packer and Ryder Cup champion AJ Hawk, around him. Together, his team provides coverage of all of the NFL’s most interesting news while maintaining an air of informality and humor that national media outlets simply can’t match.
McAfee’s approach has won him a ton of fans, who appreciate how entertaining and informative the show is, as well as seriously impressive guest appearances. Recurring guests include NFL insiders, hall-of-famers, and even reigning league MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers, who tends not to make too many media appearances, comes on the show every Tuesday and when he’s there, the conversation is always captivating, even to a neutral or casual fan.
Aaron Rodgers Praises Vikings Defense, Discusses Mystery Toe Injury, and Offers a Book Suggestion
Yesterday during his appearance, the 37 year old discussed Sunday’s nail-biter against the Vikings, which his Packers narrowly lost 34-31 thanks to a last second Greg Joseph field goal.
Talking about how the Green Bay offense got into a rhythm later on in the game, Rodgers blew away McAfee with his recall power and sheer knowledge of the game.
He went on non-stop about the different ways the Minnesota defense operates and remembered instances from last week’s game, as well as from five years ago, with so much accuracy that McAfee was left almost speechless.
Rodgers had high praise for Vikings HC Mike Zimmer and his incredible defensive mind, saying that Minnesota brings “really good f*cking pressure” as he explained his 75 yard TD pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the weekend.
The Packers signal-caller, who recently beat COVID-19, also didn’t shy away from giving credit to some of the Vikings he’s played against for the last six years or so, namely Eric Kendricks, Anthony Barr, Everson Griffen, and Harrison Smith.
Rodgers even went as far as calling Smith “the total package”. Writing this as a Vikings fan, it’s hard not to appreciate Rodgers for the way he respects his opponents and how he is truly “romantic” about the game of football.
During the same show, which was entertaining from start to finish and must-see viewing for any football fan, Rodgers also spoke about his mystery toe injury and gave his weekly book suggestion. You can find some clips from those segments below.
