I want to have a talk today.

Just me and you.

Figuratively speaking, literally speaking, just me and you.

It's going to be about Aaron Rogers.

It's not going to be the norm.

Good morning to you. Good Friday morning. I'm Dan Kavachrovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is daily shot of Steelers. It comes your way bright and early every weekday. If you're into hockey and or baseball, I also offer daily shots of penguins and pirates in the same place that you found this. Rogers spoke publicly for the first time in a long time yesterday on the show that

Pat McAfee does for ESPN.

He said very little that was newsworthy, but because he hadn't commented in a long time,

well, if you think about it, everything that he says is newsworthy, especially since, as Rogers's own description in this program, made clear that he is continuing to communicate on a regular basis with Mike Tomlin, which tells you about the Steelers' continuing interest in Rogers as quarterback.

So I addressed this on our double-shot show, the video show, the live video that we do each afternoon.

I didn't like any of what I'd heard from Rogers as related to what's important for the Steelers.

And I reiterated, or should I say re, re, re, re, re, re, reiterated my stance that the team would be much, much better off, going with Mason Rudolph as a starter in 2025, and infusing as much youth and potential as possible

in the near future up to and including both the 2025 and 2026 NFL drafts.

So what happened? Well, this program shows up in a lot of different places on the internet,

and there are a lot of different

commenting platforms. One of those, of course, is on our own site on D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. In fact,

I'd argue that it's the best of all of the commenting platforms, but then there's some inherent

bias there. A lot of it. Not all of it, but I'd say probably about two-thirds of it got all really upset did

you not watch his interview on McAfee did you not hear how he has personal problems

what's the rush what's the rush must have come about a hundred times what's the

rush give him some time and some space to deal with whatever he's dealing What's the rush must have come about a hundred times. What's the rush?

Give him some time and some space to deal with whatever he's dealing with.
