listen I will say this um we are all for athletes doing more than just playing we’re not a shut up and dribble show we’re not a stick to sports show we talk all the time to athletes who are trying to affect change at the government level trying to get new legislation trying to be socially active we’re all for that and I’m all for that and I never sit here and say well just because you’re out there doing so much actively that you’re not paying attention to being an athlete we we we’re not those types of people on this show so there’s that as the setup of me also wanting Aaron roders to succeed as the Jets quarterback so badly as you know but when I read this in the New York Times that RFK Jr was trying to get on all 50 states in the ballot to throw his hat in the presidential ring and uh affect the race there’s no question about it you know and then who knows catches fire and thinks he can be the next president of the United States um that he reached out to Aaron roders and Jesse Ventura Jesse the old the the the body now then he became the mind right when he was the governor of Minnesota and and both according to the New York Times welcomed the Overture which by the way is another great name for maybe a house band hey guys you know come on can you guys come to the bar me and my me and the guys we gonna welcome the Overture he going to be playing at 8:00 I’ve already named my fantasy basketball team that the did Chang it welcome the over out a boy TJ my back’s feeling better so I don’t need the Barb W WTO welcome the Overture um when I when I read that I thought to myself you know how how soon till Aaron Rogers comes out and says I’m I’m the quarterback of the New York Jets like I’m I’m honored I’m appreciative we all know he’s tight with RFK Jr and really ascribes to the the policies that he forwards so but he’s the quarterback of the New York Jets and I thought to myself the longer this goes the more Credence it has that he’s actually welcomed the Overture and is actually thinking about it cuz this isn’t like some you know Fly by Night organization this New York Times reporting this and all I’m saying he like Aaron if you’re thinking of being a vice president the United States can you let the Jets know before the new league year hits so we can actually do what we should have done last year which is get Joe flacko to play quarterback while you’re not there can we do that like if he’s actually thinking that like do the Jets a favor and tell them before it’s too late that’s what I thought because as long as this keeps going in my mind damn straight it’s a distraction I mean already s Gardner tweeted out something along the lines like he’s if he’s being the vice president is that why he’s not answering my texts which leads everybody to think is he really not answering SCE Gardener’s text messages right now like I don’t need this stuff and nobody needs it nobody’s taking that for real I don’t know who the hell knows anymore I don’t know because you got to take it seriously until we don’t have to and you can’t sit there and go well you never was blown out of proportion the New York Times said he’s welcomed the Overture and plus you know what he’s got to do is is is listen to the guy who stepped up on January 8th and said football stuff only if you want to win in the in the this building that we’re doing individually or collectively that has nothing to do with real real winning needs to be assessed everything that we do has to have a purpose too when you step in the building there’s intentionality with everything that you do and it’s not a half the time thing it’s not a sometimes thing it’s not a most of the time thing it’s an every time thing if you want to be a winning organization then to put yourself in position to win championships and be competitive everything that you do matters and the bll that has nothing to do with winning needs to get out of the building and if he’s going to be out of the building because he wants to do this then he let us know let the Jets know let’s go honestly I’m not sitting here saying he can’t advocate for RFK Jr and use his his platforms to do so and still be a great quarterback of the New York Jets I’m sure he can compartmentalize and Silo it like that just like everybody else who does things off the field for their political beliefs or social justice honestly but if he doesn’t want to if he wants to do this like new league year starting Now’s the Time to Say I’m not doing it because the longer it goes it’s welcome the Ure has been out for coming up 24 hours and it it’ll be more and more difficult for Aaron to go somewhere and here’s another spot he can come here anytime he knows that he’s been a long time friend of the show although hasn’t been on for a while happy to hear the words I still want to be the quarterback of the New York Jets oh my God so but the longer it goes He it’ll be difficult for him to show up on another media outlet and say oh they blew it out of proportion the New York Times reports he has welcomed the Overture so if he wants to be our rfk’s VP Let’s uh Mona Lisa Vito ticktock my clock’s ticking because let’s find out maybe Justin Fields goes to the Jets let’s go let’s go use draft Capital get Justin Fields we’ll get him in here bring him to the Jets let’s go and you go and and be the VP that you want to be maybe this is something he’s always dreamed of having and if that’s the case go follow it but don’t let the Jets hang out there maybe he’s told them that off camera too I don’t know but right now I’m a Jet fan going really is Aaron Rogers maybe not going to be there this fall again catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
