Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

Why don't we start with Aaron Rogers because that is the big thing in the NFL right now right everybody

waiting on Aaron so it's been about a week since Aaron emerged from the darkness

however I'm sure to the Packer Front Office, Packer Fan, Jet Front Office, Jet Fan, and whoever else is trying

to base their off season, Derek Carr.

Whoever else is waiting on Aaron or waiting on that first domino,

I'm sure that last week has felt like an absolute eternity because of course he has emerged

from the darkness but we're still not exactly sure what he wants to do or what he's

going to do. That circle trust that he has is probably very, very small. I have no idea.

However, we did get our first public comments from Aaron since he came out of that 300 square foot partially underground completely dark room with that queen bed and a meditation mat and those two squares a day.

And while we might not have a decision,

we did get an in-depth review of the darkness experience.

Now we don't have, or I haven't listened to the entire podcast in its

entirety. So full transparency there. I have not listened to the entire

Aubrey Marcus podcast, but it did drop this morning, it was

released, and here is part of what Aaron had to say in that interview.

It's best for anybody who has an interest in this to make a decision sooner rather than later.

You know, I remember, you know, when Farrv, before he retired, you know, there were times where it was in April and May and he still, you know, we weren't sure if he was going to come back because he didn't come to any

the off season program and then in 2008 he actually did retire in March. You know I spent parts of a couple of days

imagining what it would be like to retire and then imagining what it would be like to continue to play.

Instead of trying so hard to be, I'm not just a football player,

what if I disembraced, I am a football player and look at how beautiful its impact in my life and there's probably people they think I'm done.
