- Jimmy Butler updated close-up. He doesn't have those dreads anymore.

JARED QUAY: You might be surprised to hear that Packers quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, has some strong opinions.

- I can sense your sarcasm.

JARED QUAY: Rodgers finds himself in an unfamiliar spot with the Packers having a 3 and 4 record. And in his weekly appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show," he played the blame game.

AARON RODGERS: But the other part is taking ownership of your daily habits and your routines. Just because we're a young team, we can't just write that off as, oh, they're figuring it out, the rookies are figuring this thing out. We need them Monday to Saturday to put in the time to be ready to play Sunday.

JARED QUAY: Oh, so the Packers rookies be out here wild instead of working hard. Hm. It's kind of surprising, only because what else is there to do in Green Bay but work out and shovel snow? Ain't no closing Green Bay. I've been there.

- There's nothing.

JARED QUAY: Surely in a game where Rodgers passed for under 200 yards and failed to log a single third down conversion, there will be areas of improvement for the quarterback, right?

AARON RODGERS: I mean, this was my highest-graded game by Tom, which people may be surprised to hear.

JARED QUAY: Well, if quarterbacks coach, Tom Clemons, says you played well in a loss to the Washington Commanders, then sure, A+ my friend.

AARON RODGERS: This is my highest-graded game.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

JARED QUAY: On Tuesday, the sports world appeared to collectively break up with Kanye West. The rapper was dropped by the shoe giant, Adidas, while the Rams defensive end, Aaron Donald, and Celtics guard, Jaylen Brown, announced they were severing ties with Ye's company, Donda Sports. This comes after Ye's recent public comments on multiple subjects that were hateful, bigoted, and anti-Semitic.

A week earlier, LeBron James showed "The Shop" scrapped an entire episode because the brand didn't want to be associated with hateful and ignorant ranting. It looks like Ye is going to be on the outside looking in at the sports world for the foreseeable future. And as far as "The Rush" goes, we're not going to end the show on that kind of negativity. It's a positive, uplifting show. NFL superstar and one of our favorite "Rush" guests, JJ Watt, welcomed his first child into the world on Monday.

- Mazel tov.

JARED QUAY: Baby Koa's mom is soccer star, Kealia Ohai. And by the looks of it, the entire family is doing well. I can just picture driving around Phoenix and pulling up behind the minivan with the "baby on board" sticker, and it'll be JJ Watt behind the wheel. Yo, JJ, I'm a dad of a toddler, and I got a Tesla and it ain't cutting it. So take my advice, man, just get the minivan.
