You guys got a no ball.

It's all about running backs now.

Ashton Genty is coming out at the perfect time when everyone's like, we need a running back.

We need a Sequin.

Peter, I go to the Verbo Fiesta Bowl where your guy, Tyler Warren, went against my guy. And I got to say Penn State did bottle him up. Gents, he had 30 carries. He finally got his numbers. But, God, if there is not a year when that type of back who does it all and breaks tackles and breakaway speed, if this guy does not become a successful back right out of the shoot, I'm thinking Clinton Portis on the Denver Broncos right out of

Miami Hurricanes. Rookie year wearing a title belt on the sideline. I'm into it gentie is my guy. Love it. I think here in New York City, I think there's actually a feeling of relief, as strange as it might be. And I think some of the relief is that we did not sign Rogers. And I think there's a lot amongst the fan base that has that. The paper here is Russ here and then Rogers making the sad face there. I have a lot of questions, though, like a lot. First of all, it's already decided. Is Russell Wilson going to be the starter? His contract has bigger money, so I guess there's that. Are we sure that Russell Wilson is better than James? I'm not positive. I mean, they went to head to head last year and James beat him on a terrible Browns team.

Why would they sign both of these guys and then draft a quarterback?

I think it would be unconventional to have two bridge guys and then for some reason they draft

Shadour.

Is Shadour just sit at three for the whole season? Unconventional is the word, strange is another one. What does it mean for Rogers? It means he has one chair left. If he's starting a quarterback in season 21, it's for the Steelers, short of the Vikings making some crazy change. What does it mean for the Steelers? They have one viable option left, and it's Rogers short of them starting the season with Mason Rudolph. My takeaway and my gut, I don't think the Giants are drafting a quarterback. I think this precludes that. I think even if Shador is there, I think they're going to pass on them. I think Rogers is going to be a stealer. How did Giants fans feel today? I guess. I think there's a little relief they didn't sign Rogers, which I never thought was going to happen. I never thought they wanted to happen. And my last question is like, is this a good day? Is this good? I have no idea. I'm completely, Ross is on his third team in three years. The Steelers lost five games to end the season last year, most of them by double digits. James is on his third team in three years. They have an adult in the room, one and a half if you count James, but do they have a great quarterback? No. It's... To pour water on it even more. I don't know. I'm not celebrating. I mean, they're vulnerable, like, to their own doing. They got nothing. We're all saying the same thing. thing. And I also say if Rogers shows up and plays like he did last year on a 5 and 12 Jets team, he's the Steelers' best quarterback in five years. Just that alone. Like that's how desperate that they've been. And yet I look at this as for Rogers, the guy who always is the power broker and always controls his message. Is this his third choice?

Like, I think he wanted to be on the Rams.

I think he was interested in the Vikings.

And now it's like, all right, I guess I'll go to the Steelers and jump into that horrific

division and horrific in the sense that it's going to be really, really difficult.

I'm also fascinated by what you said, Peter, about, all right, so he goes to the Steelers.

How is this coming out?

Yeah. Because it's not going to be Ian or Tom or something. It's just not going to be that way. There's going to be something. And Peter said there's a live event that Pat's doing and Aaron would come out. And first of all, I don't know how the Steelers fans feel about this. I don't know this would be some massive heroes welcome. We've seen this before where Devante comes into the computer shot and everyone

loses their minds and then everybody falls on their faces and it would be some massive heroes welcome. We've seen this before where Devante comes into the computer shot and everyone loses

their minds and then everybody falls on their faces and it didn't work out at all.
