| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the pixx podcast. It's an emergency edition. What's the siren sound like, breach? |
| 0:06.9 | Man, we need a new siren, but it's air rotters that is a European siren. That is a European siren. |
| 0:14.7 | Breach's day has been made air rotters. It's not going to the Pittsburgh Steelers. My day has |
| 0:18.4 | been ruined. He is staining Green Bay. The reports our JJ has confirmed Jonathan Jones, |
| 0:23.2 | four a year, 200 million, 123 million guaranteed. I think the contract has been agreed upon if |
| 0:28.8 | we're being precise. Breach about that. How surprised are you? The air and Rogers is staying put. |
| 0:35.8 | You know what? I'm only about two percent surprised. I think this literally played out like |
| 0:41.1 | last offseason. It was, oh my gosh, what's he going to do? What's he going to do? But then when |
| 0:45.2 | you really thought about it, there was no way he could leave Green Bay. The Packers held all the |

| 1:21.8 | things were even worse that they were at, this is like, they were at Def Com 5 last season. |
| 1:26.4 | If they fixed things last offseason and made it work and patch things up and he returned, |
| 1:31.1 | it just felt like that was going to be the same outcome this offseason. So I will say that, |
| 1:38.0 | you know, I think we talked about it probably in early February that I was about 60% Packers, |
| 1:43.1 | 40% Broncos. And at that time, I did, you know, there wasn't much talk about like the Steelers |
| 1:46.8 | and the Titans. So that was still the feeling. So I'm not like completely shocked. I think I'm |
| 1:52.4 | surprised that it happened when he said it was going to happen. Aaron Rogers is not like sticking |
