Good morning, Sports fans! It’s your athletics ambassador Davey Mac here back with another action-packed Sports Report for ya! Things are heating up in the NBA! The Devils continue to win! Giants make a signing! But first!
So here’s the latest on what is going on with superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Apparently…we’re all waiting on one person…Number 12 himself.

Apparently the Jets and Packers have essentially agreed to the terms of a trade which would send Rodgers over to Gang Green. But Rodgers himself has the final say. He has to sign off on whether he’ll accept the trade or not. Something tells me that Jets owner Woody Johnson is sweating bullets right now.

Let’s be honest. Zach Wilson is a bust. And Jets head coach Robert Saleh knows it. That’s why he and Woody recently visited Rodgers’ house in California. They need him on this team…the Wilson era is dead is disco.

All in all…we’re just waiting on one guy. Aaron Rodgers needs to decide (SOON) whether he’s coming to Gang Green or not! Let’s go, Aaron! Make up your mind already! I’m Davey Mac…that’s my Sports Two Cents!
