We're going to take it a part of your Wednesday morning. We appreciate you doing so. And we're going to take you all the way up until 9 a.m. Eastern time 6 o'clock Pacific right here on Fox Sports Radio. And we will do so with a man who is at a hell of a show. All right. He is at a hell of a show is brother in law. AJ Hawk is popped on the show. He's also one and been victorious and headliner lie the one and only Brady Quinn. This this next topic we're about to get to this isn't hyperbole when I say this. This is maybe

1:18.0

the biggest story in the NFL right now. Yes. If indeed it's true and I don't know Jonas. I'm questioning it. I think it's you know for all of us out there listening. I think we all know it's hard to change. You know when you get into a habit or you know we're all built with these certain human nature about us. When we sometimes we do things without even you being conscious about it. It's hard to change. It's hard to make those changes and make them sustain them.

1:48.0

So that's what makes this so miraculous in my mind. And again I don't think I'm being too over the top about this. Okay. Yeah. So there's a there's a story out or a report out from Ryan Burr who's a reporter talking about Ben Rothisberger and in just you know talking with people in Pittsburgh and to sum it up because there were several tweets that came out was that you know Rothisberger's you know he gets a lot of the blame there in Pittsburgh. You know the organization is going to be a lot of people talking about it.

2:18.0

They've won a couple of you know he's won a couple of super bulls but you know they've been in the conversation a lot and there is there is a thought that maybe they've missed some opportunities to do more because they've had a lot of town especially on offense. And that you know Rothisberger is tired of the blame that he gets for for some of the struggles there but there's also a portion of this in which they talk about how Rothisberger is now totally committed to his physical health and that he's got quote a

2:48.0

diet that is stricter than Bucks quarterback Tom Brady people have never seen this part of Ben Rothisberger before they've never seen him this motivated before to get in better shape. He hears all the noise about about where he's at and what his off seasons have looked like before and all the stuff from his past. So apparently apparently a diet stricter than than Tom Brady of the Bucks a diet stricter than the TB 12 that we've seen for all these years Brady Quinn.

3:17.5

According to this report a brand new Ben Rothisberger that we've never seen before at the ripe old age of 39. Yeah. I don't know man I've got to see this to believe it I'm just telling you so the word is always and this has come from teammates this has come from people around the organization that.

3:38.2

Ben Rothisberger during the off season does it typically work out too much even throw a football that much in fact what a couple years ago we heard his elbow you know a lot of people said well yes because he didn't throw much in the off season prepare his arm for the rigorous schedule that is an NFL season especially once you get the training camp you know people said his idea of a good off season workout is a yoga session around a golf with with some pops with with some beers if you will.

4:08.1

So this I got to see in order to believe and especially when you throw out that your diet is stricter than Tom Brady's like yeah come on this is not eating anything like is as when you talk diet here are we just saying he's just drinking a bunch of water not eating any food or consuming anything at this point because Tom Brady year round has a stricter diet then possibly any other athlete that's out there I'm not sure this many other athletes who would hear to such a strict diet.

4:37.7

With the exception of one day when they celebrate a super bowl and he goes on absolute bender so I mean literally if you're going to compare yourself to Tom Brady and you've been a guy who's got the reputation for essentially being on a bender every single day I've got to see this before I believe because the other thing is he's listed at what like 240 pounds is that about right yes let me double because I think that sounds about right but he's I've he's always seen bigger than that to me.

5:07.0

Oh my not even close to that like I think the numbers probably closer to 260 maybe even more than that because he's not you also have to forget he might be 65 but he's close to 66 he's a big human he's and when you see him come out in the field you're like let's do it's huge I mean like literally he's he's massive to he's a big boy so I got to see this one to believe it however when you think about after taking I guess a pay cut if you will to come back to share he's on a one year deal a lot of people think this might be his last year.

5:36.9

As a Pittsburgh stealer so at least he's he's trying to you know he's trying to go all in he's trying to do all he can at this point to put himself in the best shape possible for a

5:47.9

Super Bowl run this year a couple of things I understand why the approach would be where it's at he probably saw his own mortality flash before his eyes when he went

5:57.0

through the injury a couple of years ago in his season ended after two games felt like they were off to a strong start last season but but you were one of the first

6:06.0

people to point out listen you had the sealers going to a Super Bowl but let's call it what it is I mean he's he's getting rid of the ball in like you know what is

6:15.0

it like the one points yeah like it really really fast to where it's a different looking offense they're not going as vertical because he's just

6:22.1

trying to get rid of the ball they had their issues on their offensive line we could say whatever we want about

6:27.2

Lavy on Bell James Conner was never the same back Lavy on Bell was I think the thought was well James Conner can

6:33.9

step in and he can play as well as Lavy on Bell did he didn't Antonio Brown left everyone thought well you still got

6:40.0

juju smish oyster he's not even close to the same receiver is Antonio Brown but he's great on TikTok so all of this stuff feels like maybe Ben is

6:49.7

seeing that the writings on the wall or that the end is near so he wants to maximize the most that he can get out of his
