On Friday, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport appeared on Good Morning Football, along with former NFL defensive lineman Akbar Gbaja-Biamila.
However, things got a bit off track when Rapoport went on a huge rant about the eating habits of some NFL players. The conversation revolves around how to correctly order a steak.
“Akbar and I have been friends for a long time,” Rapoport said. “We’ve known each other well. He made a special appearance for my son Jude’s birthday party, which was really special to my family. One time, he scooped me up on a Nnamdi Asomugha scoop. Akbar is a great guy. Don’t go to steak houses.
“If you’re going to order a steak well done just don’t go. I will make you a hockey puck and give it to you on a plate,” he continued.
Akbar then said that 70% of NFL players eat steaks well done. Former NFL linebacker Manti T’eo agreed with Akbar. That then set off just a huge rant from Rapoport on why well-done steaks are horrible.

The conversation then got NFL fans talking, and many agreed with Rapoport.
“Real talk from a true friend! Well-done steaks might be a dealbreaker, gotta keep it medium at least,” said one comment.
“No lies. If you’re going to spend a lot of money on a steak, getting it well done is throwing away money. You could literally make one at home that will be on the same level with zero effort,” said another.
“Ian is correct. Getting a high quality steak well done is like buying a Ferrari and only driving it 30 MPH,” joked a third.
Ian Rapoport Shows Support For His Favorite MLB Team
Though Rapoport seemingly knows everything about the NFL, it isn’t the only sport he follows.
He recently went to X to support his New York Mets, who defeated the Philadelphia Phillies to advance to the NLCS.
Never in doubt.
See you in the NLCS. #LGM https://t.co/yJ3rYe6jPK

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
