    Jim holds it down with Matt Hamilton, as they review Aaron Rodgers' viral comments from Wilde & Tausch this morning! First, they break down a conundrum for Matt -- does he risk the ire of his wife and try to join a bowling league less than 3 months after welcoming their first child??? They get into Rodgers' sit-down interview with Jason Wilde, reacting to the former Packers QB's comments about if he'd ever accept an invite back to Green Bay, how he really felt when Jordan Love was drafted, if there's anything he would have done differently, and more! Jim wants to know how Packers fans feel about how things played out with Rodgers & Gutey, and if fans should still be mad that the Packers GM chose to draft Aaron's successor rather than go ALL IN with the Hall of Fame QB???
