Michael Lombardi on Aaron Rodgers Future, 49ers Original Draft Plans, Mac to Pats: Cousin Sal and Dave recap a big weekend in sports from the NFL Draft to the Kentucky Derby, as the Mets just hang on for a win and the Packers are trying to hang onto Aaron Rodgers (02:00). Former NFL executive, Michael Lombardi joins the show and the guys first talk about how it’s been 20 years since the Pine Barrens episode of The Sopranos first aired (08:30).
