On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff reacts to reports that Aaron Rodgers is expected to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers and is flying to Pittsburgh for the weekend. What does it mean for the Steelers’ outlook and why does this pairing continue to make sense?

John also discusses Netflix airing the Week 1 Thursday night matchup between the Rams and 49ers from Australia, another major step in the NFL’s evolving media landscape.

The conversation then shifts to the business side of the league, as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and billionaire 49ers minority owner Vinod Khosla are reportedly interested in Seahawks ownership. John breaks down what high-profile ownership groups could mean for the future of the franchise.

Plus, the Colts’ behind-the-scenes draft video gets rave reviews, and John explains why he thought it was absolutely badass. He also weighs in on why celebrity boxing matches—like Bob Menery vs. Johnny Manziel—can sometimes be more entertaining than UFC cards.

To wrap things up, Fugazi Friday returns with reactions to the Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel boat video and more stories from around the sports world.

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by Sheryl Swoopes, four-time WNBA champion, three-time MVP, and the first player ever signed in the WNBA. Sheryl breaks down how Nike approached her about the first-ever women's signature basketball shoe and  how that moment opened doors for every woman who came after her. She talks about growing up in Brownfield, Texas, playing ball with her brother, her mom working the cafeteria and cleaning houses, and why failure was never an option. Sheryl shares the emotional weight of being able to sit down for a nice dinner with her brothers after everything they came from. She gives her take on Geno Auriemma not dapping up Dawn Staley after the Final Four, explains why Black women are always expected to take the higher road, and says that moment put a stain on his legacy. She runs through her top five WNBA players of all time and breaks down why the Indiana Fever have a real shot to win it all with Raven Johnson moving Caitlin Clark off the ball. Joe goes in on J.
