I was sitting there, earbuds in, listening to Joe Rogan yak it up with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, you guessed it, former Jets QB himself. Meanwhile, over in Florham Park, the Jets? They were sweating it out at their second OTA practice with Justin Fields, the new guy in town. Quite the scene shift from the past couple of years, lemme tell you.
Two years ago, it felt like the Jets pretty much sold their souls. Why? Rodgers. Zach Wilson was a bust, let’s not sugarcoat it—No. 2 pick and all, but Ben Stiller wouldn’t have cast him in a return of “The Benchwarmers.” Anyway, the whole Jets universe spun around Rodgers. The bigwigs—Saleh, Douglas, the Johnson bros—yep, they all trooped out to Malibu. Quite the pilgrimage, right? But I guess, desperate times…
Now, fast forward to today. We’ve swapped out The Aaron Rodgers Variety Hour for, wait for it, The Aaron Glenn Adventure. Head coach takes center stage again, and, honestly, it feels like someone finally let the adults back into the room.
Now, hey, don’t quote me on this, but does it mean this reboot will hit the jackpot? Who knows. But it’s got this vibe—like someone’s finally manning the wheel after a couple of years of Rodgers playing skipper. Feels… different. Maybe it’s wishful thinking. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s reality.
