Loving Mad Dog being a part of the show. The ratings have been higher and I know he has something to do with it. He's awesome

[@SunniMerlot]

He reminds me of a younger skip

Hey has everything to do with it

[@vulcanraven9701]

He sounds like a 1940s cartoon character.

[@Michael-vn2jj]

Mad Dog is just a cheap mimic of Skip Bayless. That was Stephen As best days in media and he wants to recreate it. Max makes logical arguments and seems to have more of a fan view. Stephen A wants views, comments, discussion. You get that by saying ridiculous things, Mad Dog delivers lol some of his NBA takes are just horrendous like Skip bad.

[@tremain7056]

He didn’t throw 3 INTs in that game

[@chicago1952]

As much as I hate his decision to stay with Green Bay being a bears fan I understand it the only real threats in the NFC at this point are the rams and maybe the 49ers if lance is good

NO STEPHEN A. There were reports stating he agreed to a $200 million deal from Ian Rapoport, which was not true.

Mad Dog is doing something that most people won't do: Hold Aaron Rodgers accountable for their mishaps. Aaron Rodgers has been God awful in the playoffs since he won the Super Bowl. He is 12-10 in the postseason for Christ sakes! I'm with Mad Dog on this one!

Did you know that Aaron Rodgers playoffs stats are better than Tom Brady's? More TDs per game, fewert INTs per game. More yards per game. Better completion rating.

[@rpstephans]

"I expect better than that!" Mad Dog lol

[@dangle7561]

mad dog is my favorite guest😂

[@sportsandanime315]

You can blame the defense all you want, but when GB only scored 10 points vs SF in the Divisional Playoffs, and in the last 3 NFC Championship Games GB appeared in, they only scored 10 combined 1st half points (0 at ATL in 2016, 0 at SF in 2019, and 10 vs TB in 2020), doesn’t Rodgers get the blame for that too?

[@blackanimelover18]

The ATL game was not his fault, the Packers should have had 10-14 points on the first two drives but a dropped TD, a missed FG and a fumble at the 1 yard line cost them a LOT of momentum. If the game were 17-14 instead of 17-0 when Matt Ryan fumbled, who knows what could have happened.
