Aaron Rodgers drops hint about where he might play, rules out one NFC team
A big question this NFL offseason has been whether Aaron Rodgers will return for Year 21 or if the four-time NFL MVP will retire. And he might have dropped quite a hint about his future on Friday. During an appearance the YNK podcast with Mike Stud, Rodgers was asked by a fan if he'd consider playing for the Chicago Bears — his longtime rival while Rodgers quarterbacked the Green Bay Packers. Advertisement 'No, but I believe there's a team that might play in Chicago this year, for a road trip.' Rodgers said. 'I don't know, I'm not sure, I'm going to check it out.' That team, of course, could be the Pittsburgh Steelers, who play the Bears on the road in Week 12. Rodgers did, however, rule out the New Orleans Saints. 'I'm too old,' he said. 'I don't want to live in Louisiana. Sorry.' Rodgers has been connected to the Steelers essentially the entire offseason. The two sides met in March, but left without a deal in place. The 41-year-old told 'The Pat McAfee Show' in April that he was dealing with personal things that needed his attention more than football. He elaborated a bit more when he appeared on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' that people he's 'been in the weeds with' have cancer. Advertisement It's unclear when the four-time NFL MVP will make his decision, but ESPN's Adam Schefter predicted it will come sooner rather than later. 'I think that we've heard Art Rooney, the team owner, say he expects Aaron Rodgers to sign there, and they have mandatory minicamp June 10th to the 12th,' the NFL insider said on ESPN Milwaukee. So, I would think that Rodgers is on the table here in the next week or so." More Patriots Content Read the original article on MassLive.

Satire meets marital realities in Sanchaya's ‘Ask Mr. YNK'
Kannada theatre group Sanchaya is back with its new production Vishwamitra Menake Dance Madodu Enake, Ask Mr. YNK on May 6, at Ranga Shankara. The play premiered at the Chiguru festival by Prestige Centre for Performing Arts (PCPA) in March this year. Directed by Chitrashekar Nonavinakere, the play is based on the book Ask Mr. YNK, aKannada satirical melodrama penned by well known author Jogi (Girish Rao Athwar), also known by his pen name Janaki. The play delves into the intricacies of Bengaluru's middle-class life, offering a humorous yet critical perspective on societal norms and contradictions. Witty dialogues The narrative centres around the character YNK inspired by the well known writer and journalist Y.N. Krishnamurthy, who serves as the protagonist in this play. YNK was known to capture the helplessness of middle-class life through his satirical and humorous writings. The team says taking this a step further, writer Jogi has uniquely portrayed the frustrations of marriage, relationships, and the cracks in male-female dynamics in the form of a play. Through YNK's witty dialogues and sharp observations, the play explores the paradoxes of the middle class in Bengaluru. Speaking to The Hindu, Chitrashekar said that he decided to take up the play to address the issues young couples go through in marriages. 'When couples from the lower middle-class communities go through complications it often ends in violence, and with middle-class families it mostly ends with divorce. I see that a lot of young couples in my own circles, be it relatives or friends, go through this phase and take the wrong step instead of working on it. Through this play I want to talk about how delicately marriage should be handled, how partners or couples should think beyond their own shoes and make living together fun. Marriage is a beautiful phase, which they should be enjoying,' he said. With young actors Chitrashekar who is directing after more than two decades, said that it was initially a challenge to work with young actors. 'This play is all about marriage, family, understanding and more. However, except for one or two actors, all the actors in the play are very young, recently married or set to get married. For such actors it is hard to understand marital values, conflicts and more. Initially it took me a lot of homework for this play and took time for me to get the actors into the rhythm. But all the actors did so well that within days they grasped their characters and performed much beyond what they are capable of for their age,' he explained. The play is performed by Rashmi Krishna, Sudarshan Venkatesh, Uma Shankar, Kanishka Goankar, Bharath Raavudi and others. Tickets for the show starting at 7.30 p.m. are available at the Ranga Shankara box-office and on BookMyShow.
