00:00Aaron Rodgers, what's he saying this week, Scotty?

00:05Well, Jets can't listen to everybody, tell them how great they are.

00:09Here he is.

00:10Yeah, just like I said, everybody's going to start you know what-ing us a little bit.

00:16I go back to this quote a lot, but Mike McCarthy said our biggest struggle is going to be handling

00:21success back in 2006 in Green Bay.

00:24And there's a lot to that.

00:25I think, you know, it's easier when you're kind of getting kicked in the teeth to kind

00:31of come together.

00:32It's us against the world.

00:33It's us against the big bad media who's saying how bad we are.

00:36You know, we can kind of come together.

00:38But can you still come together and have the same approach when everybody's kind of starting

00:42to sing your praises a little bit?

00:43I think that's the mark of a great team, is can you handle the success part with the same

00:48focus, the same mentality, the same mindset, the same energy when you're starting to get

00:55on a little bit of a roll.

00:57Yeah, to me, it's execution.

00:59Are you going to go out and execute your plan and your plays?

01:04And are you going to make mistakes?

01:06Are you going to fumble, throw picks?

01:09Are you going to allow the other team to do whatever they want on special teams and let

01:15them do whatever they want on offense, run the ball, pass the ball?

01:18Are they going to make mistakes?

01:19Like, I don't believe winning has anything to do with the media.

01:24You know, it's so funny, you know, people, they react to loss.

01:30If you get a game wrong on this network, you're, you know, you're a bumbling, stupid idiot.

01:35You get called every name in the book, you're, you get threats, you get everything else.

01:39And I always say on the air, I don't do it on social media, I'm not stupid.

01:45I don't invite that kind of hate.

01:47All I know is that I don't play, okay?

01:50I mean, like, are you stupid?

01:53How stupid are you?

01:54What do I have to do with anything?

01:55Nothing.

01:56I have nothing to do with anything.

01:57I don't play in the game.

01:58You know, I don't cost teams games because I'm on here picking games or bets or props.

02:06We have nothing to do with it.

02:07Like, it's so funny to me how these guys always mention the, you heard him, big, bad media.

02:11Well, he's got one thing right, big.

02:14There's a lot of fat people in the media that go for the free food and they have no other

02:19reason to be there other than they're watching sports and giving you their opinion of it.

02:23They have nothing to do with whether teams in the NFL or any other sport win a game ever,

02:27ever, ever.

02:28Media has nothing to do with anything.

02:31But they wouldn't have a sport if it wasn't for the media because what we do is sell it.

02:36That is precisely true.

02:38Seven and a half for the Jets this week at home against the Broncos.

02:4239 and a half is the total early window, one o'clock East kick at Jet Life, as Aaron likes

02:49to call it now.

02:50Well, I mean, the bottom line is, is that you've already shown me ad nauseum the number

02:56of teams that are getting six or more points, what they're doing this year in the National

03:01Football League.

03:02Roger Goodell, when he has his secret meetings with all the teams and players, when they

03:05plan the games out, who's going to win them?

03:09And they decide when they draw straws, who's going to win the games, what the score is

03:12going to be.

03:13This year, they've decided in an edict that all games will be decided under six points

03:20in the NFL.

03:21There'll be no games literally ever, except maybe they'll sprinkle one in a week to keep

03:27fooling the people that the games aren't fixed in the National Football League where you

03:32can't win a bet to save your ass.

03:33So something crooked is going on.

03:35So it's what this year's plan from the NFL from day one is any team getting seven or

03:40more points will cover automatically.

03:42That's the new normal in the NFL.

03:46So I think the Broncos cover the number.
