OH MY GOSH. SOME WELCOME OR UNWELCOME NEWS ON A SATURDAY NIGHT ICE CREAM RUN FOR STEELER FANS. ESPN SOURCES SAY AARON RODGERS AGREED TO A ONE YEAR DEAL WITH THE TEAM WORTH UP TO $25 MILLION. I THINK IT’S A LOT OF MONEY, BUT I THINK WE NEED A GOOD VETERAN QUARTERBACK TO TEACH OUR YOUNG QUARTERBACKS THAT WE DRAFTED, LIKE WILL HOWARD AND DREW FOWLER. YOU THINK IT’S A BAD DECISION BY AARON RODGERS. SO HOW BAD OF A DECISION CAN IT BE? I THINK IT’S A GOOD THING THOUGH. YOU KNOW HE BRINGS MATURITY TO THE TEAM LEADERSHIP. WE HAVE A NEW COACH. IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD THING. SO ONE MORE YEAR I’M OKAY WITH IT. I THINK HE’S WASHED. I THINK THEY COULD USE A DIFFERENT QUARTERBACK. AARON RODGERS LIKE LIKE WILL HOWARD OR DREW OLAH. THEY WANT TO WIN NOW. SO THAT’S WHY THEY’RE GOING TO BRING HIM BACK. YEAH WE’D LIKE TO SEE A YOUNG GUY AND YOU KNOW START OVER AGAIN. WE DECIDED TO COME TO COOL CONE SATURDAY ORIGINALLY BECAUSE RODGERS WAS HERE FRIDAY NIGHT WITH TEAMMATES MASON RUDOLPH, BEN SKOWRONEK AND PAT FREIERMUTH. THAT’S WHY WE CAME. YEAH, WE WERE LIKE, CAN WE CAN WE SEE HIM COME AGAIN? THE REAL SCOOP OF THE NIGHT. WHAT DID THE FOUR TIME NFL MVP ORDER ON HIS TRIP TO COOL CONES? I’M LIKE, NOBODY WANTS BLACK AND YELLOW SPRINKLES.
