I whisper to the gods every single day<\/a>,\u201d Rodgers told Brandt, via Reice Shipley of AwfulAnnouncing.com. \u201cI\u2019ve known Terry for a long time, being a part of Fox. Terry\u2019s a legend. He\u2019s an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He\u2019s had a legendary career in the media. But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn\u2019t know me. And so he\u2019s got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I\u2019ve done, the documentary, what I\u2019ve said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about. I\u2019d love to get to know Terry on a deeper level. I feel like if he gave me a chance to get to know him, then we\u2019d have a good friendship.<\/p>\n\u201cFor me, I have nothing but the utmost amount of respect and deference for what the greats have done. Because they laid the foundation for us to be able to play in this great game. To be paid like kings, and to carry on the tradition of excellence that guys like the Bradshaws of the world in the \u201970s and Bart Starr in the \u201960s and Lombardi and Joe Montana, and Steve Young, and Troy Aikman, and Brett Favre, and all the greats.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re standing on the backs of those guys. It\u2019s because of how they played and how they carried themselves that we\u2019re able to have this opportunity to still play this great game, to get paid really well, to set ourselves up for our future. So I\u2019d love to get to know Terry on a deeper level if he\u2019s open to it. And maybe we can go chew some bark or whatever the hell he\u2019s talking about together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rodgers handled it well. The ball is now in Terry\u2019s court. Or the bark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Before future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers, former Steelers quarterback (and Hall of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39963,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-39962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39962"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39962\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
