'Go somewhere and chew on bark': Terry Bradshaw's savage message to Aaron Rodgers amid the No. 12 Jersey debate
Aaron Rodgers' arrival in Pittsburgh has stirred more than just excitement, it's sparked a heated debate over his jersey number. The iconic No. 12, forever synonymous with Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw, remains untouchable in the eyes of many. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Adding fuel to the fire, Bradshaw himself delivered a sharp message to Rodgers to 'go somewhere and chew on bark,' turning the No. 12 jersey battle into one of the NFL's most talked-about controversies. Why Aaron Rodgers may never wear Steelers' No. 12 The Steelers' No. 12 is more than just a number. Once donned by the incomparable Terry Bradshaw, a four-time Super Bowl champion and Pittsburgh legend, No. 12 carries weight that few other jerseys can claim. Though the Steelers haven't officially retired the number, they effectively treat it as untouchable. This unofficial retirement isn't just about respect, it's about protecting a legacy. Bradshaw, for his part, hasn't exactly rolled out the welcome mat. His biting remark 'That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there' wasn't just for laughs. It captured the sentiment of a fan base wary of Rodgers stepping into a tradition-rich franchise that guards its icons closely. Why Terry Bradshaw Says Aaron Rodgers Can Go "Chew on Bark" | E! News Interestingly, Rodgers once had the chance to wear No. 12 with the New York Jets, a number famously worn by Joe Namath. Namath even gave Rodgers his blessing. Yet Rodgers declined. With Bradshaw's clear opposition and the Steelers' reverence for the number, Rodgers is unlikely to wear No. 12 on the Steelers. The obvious alternative is No. 8, a number with its own Steelers history through quarterbacks Tommy Maddox and current starter Kenny Pickett. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, to claim No. 8, Rodgers would need to negotiate with punter Corliss Waitman, the current holder. Rodgers could break away from tradition entirely and choose a new number, signaling a new era for himself in Pittsburgh. That would be a bold statement, reinventing not just his jersey but his identity in a town famous for holding tight to its football heritage. Also Read: At the end of the day, Rodgers' jersey number may seem like a small detail, but it reveals the larger cultural clash brewing between a superstar quarterback known for blazing his own trail and a team rooted in decades of unyielding tradition. Whether Rodgers embraces the Steelers' legacy or carves out his own path, the drama over No. 12 is only just beginning and it's a story every NFL fan will want to watch unfold.

Would You Try A Medu Vada Noodle Burger? This Vendors Recipe Is the Internets New Obsession
It's not a burger. It's not a noodle roll. It's not just a vada either. Somewhere in Maharashtra, a street food vendor has decided to throw all logic - and tradition - straight into the frying pan. In a video that's now making the rounds on Instagram, we see him take the classic medu vada, that doughnut-shaped South Indian deep-fried snack made with urad dal, and give it a makeover that no one asked for—but everyone's curious about. Here's what happens: the piping hot medu vada is crisped to golden perfection and placed on a plate. Nothing suspicious so far. Then, with surgical precision, the vendor slices the vada horizontally - yes, like a burger bun. Also Read: Viral Recipe: This 2-Ingredient Bagel Recipe Is The Homemade Treat You Deserve He slathers the inside with a red, spicy-looking chutney. Then comes a tangle of masala noodles, stuffed right between the vada halves. And just when you think it's over, he adds a generous squiggle of mayonnaise over the noodles—turning this classic snack into a full-blown street-style burger. But wait, there's more. He plates the stuffed vada burger with a ladle of steaming hot sambhar and a side of creamy coconut chutney. Because, why not? It's weird. It's wild. But it's also kind of… wonderful? A medu vada-turned-burger packed with noodles and mayo might sound like a fever dream, but many are calling it oddly genius. In a time when food experiments often border on chaos, this one is definitely drawing eyeballs and hunger pangs. View this post on Instagram A post shared by thegreatindianfoodie (@thegreatindianfoodie) Instagram users had a lot to say about this eccentric creation. One joked, 'My South Indian ancestors just fainted. But I want to try it,' while another called it 'either a disaster or a masterpiece. No in-between.' Someone else confessed, 'You had me till the mayo, bro.' Amid all the banter, a user praised the vendor, saying, 'Street food vendors are the real innovators.' Another added, 'First it was vada pav, now it's vada burger. What next?' A foodie chimed in with, 'Not going to lie, I want this for breakfast tomorrow,' and someone quipped, 'Medu vada, but make it Gen Z.' The most relatable perhaps was, 'This is the kind of chaos I live for.' In a country where street food is both an emotion and an ever-evolving invention, this medu vada burger might just be the newest chapter in the street food diaries. You may love it. You may hate it. But you will talk about it.
