An Aaron Rodgers-Pittsburgh Steelers announcement coming?

During appearance on “Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger” this week, McAfee speculated what would happen during his show on Wednesday night. He said Rodgers was not on the docket but didn’t dismiss the idea that Rodgers would be a last-minute guest.

“There’s gonna be a lot of big surprises tomorrow night at Big Night AHT,” McAfee said. “Aaron Rodgers is not on the docket. So I would like everybody to know that. Because I think the show is, the show has so many real moments that are gonna be coming.

“And I think there’s a chance people afterwards go, ‘(Expletive) didn’t see Aaron,’ sorry. ‘Freaking didn’t see Aaron Rodgers out there.’ I have not talked to Aaron Rodgers… There’s a chance… that he’s watching film, obviously getting better at football. And he has a shovel underneath the pyramids trying to figure out what those are. There’s a chance.”

Pat McAfee: Temper your expectations

McAfee was careful not to say Rodgers would not come on the show. McAfee wouldn’t pass up an opportunity for a surprise on Wednesday night in Pittsburgh.

McAfee knows that the moment would be special for fans of the Steelers and the NFL.
