The Pat McAfee Show 8-24: Kyle Rudolph & Bruce Arians

On today’s show, Pat is out of town on another top secret business meeting, but we’ve still got two incredible interviews to cap off the week. First, 2X Pro Bowler and one of the best TE’s in the NFL, Kyle Rudolph, joins the show. They discuss how the Vikings have looked so far in the preseason with Kirk Cousins at the helm, what it’s been like adjusting to new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo’s system, whether or not Mike Zimmer is really as hard-nosed as he seems, how he thinks Teddy Bridgewater is going to fair with the New York Jets, and if Notre Dame football is ever going to be any good again (8:56-21:43). Next, former Head Coach of the Arizona Cardinals and interim Head Coach for the Indianapolis Colts and current broadcaster for CBS, Bruce Arians, joins the show for another electric conversation. They chat about how he’s adapted to not coaching football and what CBS has been doing to prepare him for his first gig when the Browns and Steelers square off week 1, whether or not he’s going to have trouble not going after refs, how much he thinks the new rules are going to impact the game, and who the best athlete he’s ever coached is (25:19-38:10). To close out the show, the guys each pick a Friday Banger to help send you into the weekend. Come laugh with us, cheers.
