The Pat McAfee Show 8-23: Aaron Rodgers

On today’s show, Pat finally lands his white whale as 6X Pro Bowler, 2X NFL MVP, and Super Bowl XLV Champion, Aaron Rodgers joins the show for an incredible conversation. They chat about his expectations for the coming season, whether or not coming back from injury makes him appreciate the game more, his thoughts on the new helmet rules and how it affects play, what he likes to do to have fun, and how he expects his contract negotiations to play out (44:20-1:01:24). The guys also do another deep dive on this week’s Hard Knocks episode including everything they loved about it, and the emergence of possibly the greatest character in Hard Knocks history, O-Line coach Bob Wylie. Also joining the show is VP of Production for HBO Sports and Senior Producer on Hard Knocks, Dave Harmon. He gives everyone a look behind the curtain of Hard Knocks and discusses what goes into making the show, whether or not the producers make any suggestions for content, if the Browns have final cut and get to choose what gets omitted from the episode, and he gives his opinion on who the best character on Hard Knocks has been (20:00-39:12). Today’s a great one. Come laugh with us, cheers.
