Hour 3: Comedian Bert Kreischer In-Studio, plus Overreaction Tuesday

Rich starts the hour comparing how the Packers dropping the ball on their QB succession plan compares with the successful ways other teams have handled similar situations. NBC Sports’ Peter King and Rich discuss why he thinks the Packers and Aaron Rodgers are more likely to mend fences than get a divorce, why getting Packers GM Brian Gutekunst fired is not in Rodgers’ best interests, what Rodgers ultimate endgame is in his standoff with Green Bay’s front office, and why he has the Eagles as the favorite to land Deshaun Watson in a trade…for the 2022 season. Rich wraps up the hour reacting to the surprising news that three teams are still grasping desperately to that European Super League that we all thought was D.O.A..
