| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Matt Williamson here. How's everything going? Hope you're doing as well as I am. No complaints. I was down at the Steelers facility today. Very busy down there. Pits got stuff going on. no parking, a whole bunch of players participating for |
| 0:21.7 | the Steelers, a bunch of media today, good lunch, all that good stuff. I recorded a video, |
| 0:26.9 | all kinds of good things going on. I got to watch some practice. But the big news is obviously |
| 0:32.8 | Aaron Rogers told reporters after practice that this will be his last year. He is retiring. |
| 0:41.1 | I don't even know that that's super noteworthy. I think you can look at it a couple ways. |
| 0:47.4 | I'm sure some people will be like, oh, if the season goes wrong, his heart's not going to be in it. |
| 0:53.3 | Maybe. I mean, there's some human nature stuff there. |
| 0:56.8 | Or you could look at it like Elway's last ride. He's going to put his body on the line one final time. |
| 1:03.6 | Maybe. I mean, I think that's possible. What I do know is he is very proud and very aware of his legacy and reputation. |
| 1:15.6 | And he could be the worst football player in the league next year. |
| 1:20.0 | And he's still, of course, going to the Hall of Fame and will be considered one of the best |
| 1:23.0 | quarterbacks that ever lived. |
| 1:24.3 | But I don't think in any way does he want to go out on a sour note. I think |
| 1:30.6 | you're going to get everything from this guy. And I really just being around him, observing him, |
| 1:36.1 | I think that's what he is. So I'm not looking too much into this. I'm sure he's given it an |
| 1:42.9 | awful lot of thought. |
| 1:50.8 | I don't even know that it's a huge story at this point. It is because we're in the middle of May and there's just not as much to talk about, even though, you know, OTAs, mini-camp, etc. |
| 1:55.1 | are going to be going on these couple weeks. I'm sure he's, you know, gave it thought in each of the last several off seasons. |
| 2:04.1 | He apparently feels as though he can still play at a reasonably high level. And we can argue what |
| 2:10.6 | that level is, but I definitely think it's an NFL starting quarterback level. I'm hoping that he'll put his body in harm's way a little |
| 2:20.0 | bit more in terms of not necessarily running or just maybe holding the football in the |
| 2:25.7 | pocket a little bit more, let routes over the middle develop a little bit more, uncork some |
