Speaker 2: Welcome in episode sixty seven of What's Right with Nick
Speaker 2: Wright and one of my favorite sports media days of
Speaker 2: the year, the Monday after Week one of the NFL.
Speaker 2: You all will be hearing this and seeing this on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: But this is a jam backed loaded day. So much
Speaker 2: so these things did not make the show. Think about
Speaker 2: how much news there must be for the fact that
Speaker 2: into Here's what missed the cup for today's show, Steph
Speaker 2: Curry confirming that Golden State was considering trading for Kevin
Speaker 2: Duran reacquiring him. That full article comes out later, comes
Speaker 2: out before Tuesday morning in Rolling Stone. So we will
Speaker 2: discuss it on Thursday's pod or Friday's pod. Lamar turning
Speaker 2: down an extension. Butt winning our lock of the Week
Speaker 2: came through. Our Survivor pick came through. We got oh Man,
Speaker 2: our Week one picks. We'll get to that in a second,
Speaker 2: and Star Wars and Disney owe me a lot of money.
Speaker 2: In fact, this is you know what, We're going to
Speaker 2: redo some of the rundown here because this is gonna
Speaker 2: make the show. We're going to talk about that at
Speaker 2: the end of the show. The end of the show
Speaker 2: because I feel like there's millions of dollars at stake,
Speaker 2: so we'll discuss it's millions of dollars. Speaking of money
Speaker 2: before we even get to the actual first topic, which
Speaker 2: of course is I assume gonna be Sunday Football, Cowboys Bucks.
Speaker 2: On Fridays, we do a gambling show. We give out
Speaker 2: five picks. It didn't start off gloriously because you heard
Speaker 2: the show Friday and one of the picks was Thursday
Speaker 2: and I got it wrong by twenty points. Couldn't have
Speaker 2: been more wrong about that game. The other four picks
Speaker 2: I gave out, however, I feel great about even though
Speaker 2: we only went two and two. So here's why our
Speaker 2: lock of the week was the Ravens. It was about
Speaker 2: fading Joe Flacco. That game went exactly how I said.
Speaker 2: The next one was Miami, and I said, I don't
Speaker 2: see how the Patriots can get past thirteen points. They
Speaker 2: scored seven. I should have bet the under in that
Speaker 2: one as well. The other two games were the Cardinals,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the Cardinals, the Chargers, and the Jaguars. Both
Speaker 2: of them were winning the games and covering the spread
Speaker 2: at the two minute warning, and both of them blew it.
Speaker 2: I feel like our analysis was only off on one game.
Speaker 2: A two to three week to start the year is
Speaker 2: not great. He easily could have been four and one, though,
Speaker 2: but we liked the process. So our Week two gambling show.
Speaker 2: And by the way, we told you the teasers are
Speaker 2: gonna kill you America, stay away from him. This week,
Speaker 2: so many favorites lost. It's so there was I mean,
Speaker 2: there was just apps or ties. The Colts tied, the
Speaker 2: Bengals found a way to lose. We'll get into all
Speaker 2: of that, all right. Let's start the show to Monsey.
Speaker 2: I assume we're starting with Cowboys Bucks.
Speaker 3: Yep. Tom Brady has advanced to seven to zero against
Speaker 3: the Cowboys all time. Wow, Dak hurt his hand. I'm sorry. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he hurt his hand and exited the game in the
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. But they weren't really moving the ball like
Speaker 3: that beforehand. Uh, it's the Cowboys Bengals next week. Terrible
Speaker 3: thing's brewing for the Cowboys. Is their season already in jeopardy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so we'll get to the Bucks side
Speaker 2: of this later.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys were a mess yesterday before Dak broke his thumb. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so he's gonna be out a couple months, and if
Speaker 2: they want any chance of staying afloat, then they're gonna
Speaker 2: have to either trade for Gardner Minshew or trade for
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo. I think, if they're smart, they're gonna call
Speaker 2: up the San Francisco forty nine ers and we'll get
Speaker 2: to them in a moment, because I already see on
Speaker 2: the screen it says Lance looks lost, and see if
Speaker 2: they can get Jimmy g on the chief. Here's the thing, though,
Speaker 2: they were gonna be screwed even with that. I tried
Speaker 2: to Now I was you guys asked me on this
Speaker 2: about a month ago. If I was ready to pick
Speaker 2: the Eagles win the division, and I said no. Then
Speaker 2: Tyron Smith got hurt and the Cowboys. More and more
Speaker 2: of the news on the Cowboys was so ominous, the
Speaker 2: wide receiver injuries, Tyrone Smith's injury, that I said, I
Speaker 2: don't know if I said it on the pod, but
Speaker 2: I know I said it on the TV show that
Speaker 2: I had gone from the Cowboys winning the nfcast to
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs. That Dak had always had a
Speaker 2: great offensive line. Now it's below average. The receiving goal
Speaker 2: is gonna be the weakest he had had in years.
Speaker 2: I don't trust the coach. And while I didn't buy
Speaker 2: the Eagles as a Super Bowl contender and their offense
Speaker 2: looked great yesterday, their defense struggled a ton. I thought
Speaker 2: they could win the division. Cowboys felt like an eight
Speaker 2: to nineteen and they confirmed that yesterday Sunday night. Micah
Speaker 2: Parsons made a few big plays. The defense did a
Speaker 2: good job holding Brady out of the end zone. The
Speaker 2: offense could not move the ball, and that's when Dak
Speaker 2: was healthy. Now I don't think they're gonna just punt
Speaker 2: on the season. Team's too expensive and you have too
Speaker 2: many blue chip players to just let Cooper Rush be
Speaker 2: your quarterback for two months. So they've got to go
Speaker 2: get somebody, right, and I think that's something. Listen, maybe
Speaker 2: it'll be Gardner. I think Gardner the media likes him
Speaker 2: because he's kind of goofy and fun. I'm not a
Speaker 2: Jimmy G guy, but he's obviously better than Gardner Minshew
Speaker 2: and better than Cooper Rush. He's the best available backup quarterback.
Speaker 2: And if you're the question is would Jimmy G waves
Speaker 2: no trade, I would imagine he would. He wants to
Speaker 2: go be a starter. Go be a starter for two months,
Speaker 2: rebuild your value, go get real money in free agency.
Speaker 3: And are you putting them back at the top of
Speaker 3: their division with Jimmy G No, No, no, no.
Speaker 2: I think I think they're screwed either way. But I
Speaker 2: don't think Jerry Jones views it that way. And I think,
Speaker 2: if you're Jerry Jones, let me pull up real quick
Speaker 2: the Cowboys' schedule, because I think that Dak's going to
Speaker 2: be out until November. I don't think you have hand
Speaker 2: surgery and you're back in six weeks. I know they
Speaker 2: called it six to eight weeks. I think it's going
Speaker 2: to be closer to eight to ten than six to eight.
Speaker 2: So look at their what they've got. They're home against
Speaker 2: the Bengals next week. A Bengals team that has its
Speaker 2: own issues will get to them. They're at the Giants
Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football. After that Giants little frisky Sakuon
Speaker 2: looked outstanding yesterday in that comeback victory. Home for Washington,
Speaker 2: then at the Rams, at the Eagles, then home for
Speaker 2: the De Troit, home for Chicago, before they're at green
Speaker 2: Bay November thirteenth, which is when I after a bye,
Speaker 2: when I would imagine Dak comes back. You've got to
Speaker 2: find a way. That's how many games one, two, three, four,
Speaker 2: it's eight total games before you get to Green Bay.
Speaker 2: You've got to find three wins, three and five and
Speaker 2: you'll still be alive to some capacity. It's not great,
Speaker 2: but if you're two and six or worse, your season's
Speaker 2: over three and five year on life support. Four and four,
Speaker 2: which would mean four and three the seven games without Dak,
Speaker 2: you'd take it. So you've got winnable games home against Detroit,
Speaker 2: home against Chicago, at the Giants, home against Washington. You're
Speaker 2: gonna be in a real rough spot against Cincinnati, the
Speaker 2: Rams and the Eagles, especially the Rams and Eagles are
Speaker 2: on the road. But yeah, I think they have to
Speaker 2: make a move. I also just don't trust the coaching staff.
Speaker 2: I didn't like anything I saw from Dallas yesterday, except
Speaker 2: for Micah Parsons. He's a sensational player and he got
Speaker 2: to Brady twice. To be totally honest. Didn't love what
Speaker 2: I saw from the Bucks either. They got another offensive
Speaker 2: line injury in Donovan Smith. Brady was getting harassed. They
Speaker 2: just knew that if they didn't make too many mistakes,
Speaker 2: their defense was gonna be able to carry him. So
Speaker 2: let me rephrase it. I didn't love what I saw
Speaker 2: from the Bucks offense. The Bucks defense I thought was outstanding,
Speaker 2: But I wonder if a lot of teams are gonna
Speaker 2: do that to Dallas. All right, now, let's everyone hyperventilate
Speaker 2: over the Niners.
Speaker 3: Go ahead. The weather at Soldier Field in Trey Lance,
Speaker 3: A lot of things, a lot of things in common
Speaker 3: last night. Oh, Trey Lance is obviously looking very rough.
Speaker 3: Finished the game with two turnovers and barely over two
Speaker 3: hundred total passing yards. Yeah, did you already throw out
Speaker 3: that Super Bowl ticket?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Listen first, of all, everyone take a deep breath. There
Speaker 2: is some speculation, Oh, the Niners can't trade Jimmy G
Speaker 2: to the Cowboys because they're gonna need Jimmy G for them.
Speaker 2: Calm down. It was his third career NFL start. It
Speaker 2: was the first game of the season. It was a monsoon.
Speaker 2: He made a couple nice plays, made a couple boneheaded mistakes.
Speaker 2: We knew that was going to happen. The bet on
Speaker 2: the Niners is that by the end of the year
Speaker 2: they're in a better quarterback position than they were at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year. Now, it's still a terrible loss.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna argue they were up ten to nothing
Speaker 2: on the Bears. That should be enough. That's a terrible loss.
Speaker 2: You can't lose that game. And they did lose that game,
Speaker 2: and Lance made some mistakes. However, look at the division
Speaker 2: that we thought was gonna be awesome. Right now as
Speaker 2: we record this, the leaders in the NFC West are
Speaker 2: the Seahawks because they haven't played. The Cardinals got their
Speaker 2: teeth kicked in. The Rams got their teeth kicked in. Yes,
Speaker 2: it would have been nice for the Niners to give
Speaker 2: themselves a bit of a cushion. But you knew there
Speaker 2: were going to be some growing pains with a player
Speaker 2: who played at the Division two level, didn't play his
Speaker 2: final year really because of COVID, and then sat out
Speaker 2: most of last year. So I just I don't understand
Speaker 2: why folks seem to wan want to give Trey Lance
Speaker 2: the shortest leash of any top five pick I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Like Zach Wilson is gonna get multiple years, Josh Allen
Speaker 2: got multiple years his first year. He was terrible, now
Speaker 2: he's a superstars. Sam Darnold got multiple years. Trey Lance
Speaker 2: has started three games won this season, obviously, and it
Speaker 2: was on the worst field in football, in a torrential downpour.
Speaker 3: Yes, he made some mistakes. What's like, we're playing in
Speaker 3: the elements. We're already risking our lives by hitting each
Speaker 3: other like this.
Speaker 2: We want all football games to be indoors.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I feel like if there's going to
Speaker 3: be weather to where.
Speaker 2: You want the delayed a delayed game, like not a
Speaker 2: delayed game, maybe close it up or something.
Speaker 3: If it's gonna rain around the time they're gonna play.
Speaker 2: They don't have a dome there, you got them.
Speaker 3: They got a lot of money man.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, by the way, they are considering in Chicago
Speaker 2: building a new stadium. I totally disagree though with this take.
Speaker 2: One of the great things about the NFL is you
Speaker 2: can build your team to the conditions of your city.
Speaker 2: So like if you live in a war well yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's but that's a fun element of it, is
Speaker 2: that that that's one of the that if you play
Speaker 2: in the Northeast or Chicago, you can build a team
Speaker 2: that's supposed to be good in the cold, that is
Speaker 2: gonna maybe be a running team. If you play in
Speaker 2: the Dome like Atlanta, you can say forever, we're gonna
Speaker 2: spend money on wide receivers and speed, Like, yeah, there
Speaker 2: you go. Thanks, You got a lot of anti one
Speaker 2: liners this. Yeah, it's modern day Gladiators, buddy, it's the NFL.
Speaker 2: But so, but to answer the question, everyone calmed down
Speaker 2: on the Niners. They're gonna not only they're gonna win
Speaker 2: this week, this coming week, they're gonna win by at
Speaker 2: least a touchdown. I don't even remember who they play,
Speaker 2: I just know they're big favorites this week, the Niners
Speaker 2: in Week two, I've got it right here. My apologies
Speaker 2: for not having it in front of me. The Niners
Speaker 2: in Week two play Seattle. We'll see how Seattle looks night.
Speaker 2: But either way, Seattle's gonna be on emotional downswing after
Speaker 2: the Russell game. They're on a short week. They're gonna
Speaker 2: be fine. San Francisco is gonna be one in one
Speaker 2: and at worst, at worst tied for first in the
Speaker 2: NFC West. Everyone take a deep breath, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, your Chiefs blew out the Cardinals in Week one.
Speaker 3: That that was a really good game. It looks so
Speaker 3: effortless by the Chiefs, by the way Mahomes do for
Speaker 3: five touchdowns and three quarters and look just fine without
Speaker 3: Surrey Hill. It's either him or Josh Allen. It's just
Speaker 3: like the best quarterback right now, Josh Allen or Pat Mahomes.
Speaker 3: One of them. I don't know which one it is yet,
Speaker 3: but it's one of them. Is the story that the
Speaker 3: Chiefs are back or that Arizona's just garbage.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Arizona's garbage, And I don't know
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are back because they never went anywhere.
Speaker 3: Games.
Speaker 2: They win twelve or more games every single season. This
Speaker 2: story is, folks somehow found a way to talk themselves
Speaker 2: into underrating Patrick Mahomes, who has an argument is the
Speaker 2: most talented quarterback ever and has an argument that had
Speaker 2: the has had the greatest open to a career in
Speaker 2: NFL history. Okay, and yet people said, it's not just
Speaker 2: that the general consensus was that Josh Allen is better
Speaker 2: than him. They that's the general consensus that Allen's better
Speaker 2: than him. It's also that Justin Herbert in his own
Speaker 2: division might be better than him. Some people were saying
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson over Mahomes. A lot of people were picking
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to miss the playoffs. And I sat here
Speaker 2: and told you remember when I said Mahomes was gonna
Speaker 2: take that eighth ranking and might do and try to
Speaker 2: go for eight touchdown bass to be the NFL record,
Speaker 2: And people are like, Oh, yeah, Nick, he's gonna do
Speaker 2: you see him in this game get get to five
Speaker 2: through three quarters and counted them off. If the Cardinals
Speaker 2: could have put up more of a damn fight, we
Speaker 2: got to sea Patrick play the whole fourth quarter. This
Speaker 2: game was very frustrating. And living in New York, by
Speaker 2: the way, because it was one of our local games,
Speaker 2: so you can't watch it through Sunday ticket because it
Speaker 2: was on the local CBS affiliate. But we missed the
Speaker 2: first drive because Bengals Steelers went to the final play
Speaker 2: of overtime and then you had left to go do
Speaker 2: some work before you came back. They took the game
Speaker 2: off early fourth quarter and said we're bringing you to
Speaker 2: a more competitive game because it was such a blowout.
Speaker 2: So they started showing us I think it was Chargers Raiders,
Speaker 2: and so I didn't even get to see the final
Speaker 2: Chiefs touchdown. I mean, he got it turned off, got
Speaker 2: the game turned off. There is right now no way
Speaker 2: to guard this Chiefs team. They are bigger, they are stronger.
Speaker 2: They don't have the elite game breaking speed of Tyreek,
Speaker 2: but they still have a ton of speed in the
Speaker 2: whole Hardman and NBS. They have three legitimate running backs.
Speaker 2: They have the best offensive line in the league. Mahomes
Speaker 2: is the best player in football. Mahomes has been has
Speaker 2: been the best goddamn player in the league since Week
Speaker 2: three of his first season starting, and everyone's been trying
Speaker 2: to talk themselves into other guys and it makes no sense.
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes had the biggest, biggest game of everybody.
Speaker 2: Of everybody this week, there's no question. I'd say second
Speaker 2: place probably Saquon Barkley and third place Minca Fitzpatrick. But
Speaker 2: there's no doubt Mahomes had the best game and they
Speaker 2: were trying to Wild's.
Speaker 3: At it, Justin Jefferson. What about the game?
Speaker 2: Oh, Justin Jefferson? Had you got it? Justin Jefferson? He
Speaker 2: had a monster game. Two. Uh, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: A J. Brown had a big game. A lot of
Speaker 2: guys had big games. But that's I would go Mahomes,
Speaker 2: Saquon Minca. Minca had to pick six and a blocked
Speaker 2: extra point with zero seconds left to force over. Huge
Speaker 2: had the game breaking run and scored the two point
Speaker 2: conversion to win the game, and then we know what
Speaker 2: Mahomes did. Wild's out of tweet, though, and he was right.
Speaker 2: Everyone else is trying to win. The Chiefs are trying
Speaker 2: to prove a point. Yeah, they are trying to prove
Speaker 2: a point. And all right now on the Cardinals, I
Speaker 2: don't think the card I picked. The Cardinals missed the playoffs.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're a great team, but they're not
Speaker 2: a terrible team. And the Chiefs made the embarrassed Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's tough. You're facing probably one of
Speaker 3: the best teams in the league. It's like hard to.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs, and I think, listen the the I think
Speaker 2: that people were I was surprised the Chiefs blew them
Speaker 2: out like that. You know, I remember I didn't make
Speaker 2: this one of my picks. I thought the Chiefs would
Speaker 2: be up around ten most of the game. And the
Speaker 2: reason I want to bet the Chiefs minus six was
Speaker 2: because you have back door cover late touchdown when the
Speaker 2: Chiefs are improvement or something. But it never even came
Speaker 2: to that. Now, Thursday night, Chiefs hosting the Chargers. That's
Speaker 2: a big game. And if the Chiefs put it on,
Speaker 2: the Chargers puts the whole afc West on notice. If
Speaker 2: this didn't already put him on notice, all right, what's last?
Speaker 3: Last? We got Aaron Rodgers? Man, I feel very sadly
Speaker 3: for this guy. Aaron Rodgers looked totally lost on offense
Speaker 3: and a loss to Minnesota, and Davante Adams on top
Speaker 3: of that, blew up in the Raiders game and Minnesota
Speaker 3: looked unstoppable on offense. Is it possible that Green Bay's
Speaker 3: strategy to employ bad wide receiver is going to blow
Speaker 3: up on him.
Speaker 2: Well, so this was what was interesting. Tyree Kills first
Speaker 2: game without Mahomes played really well. Vante Adams was first
Speaker 2: game without Aaron Rodgers played really well. Right, Mahomes in
Speaker 2: his first game this season without Tyreek was the best
Speaker 2: player in the league. Rogers and his first game without
Speaker 2: DeVante was brutal. And listen, there was an interesting moment
Speaker 2: very early in this football game.
Speaker 3: It was frustrated from the job.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's very very frustrated. So he had a
Speaker 2: bomb to Christian Watson on the first drive of the
Speaker 2: game that was wide open and Watson flat dropped it. Okay,
Speaker 2: he's their rookie second round pick, the guy they drafted
Speaker 2: essentially to replace Davante. And then after that, he basically
Speaker 2: stopped going to him, and he basically stopped going to
Speaker 2: his wide receivers. And this is a real criticism of Rogers.
Speaker 2: Happened in the playoffs last year, and the playoff lost
Speaker 2: his Well, not just that he will lose faith in
Speaker 2: a guy and he's done so yet last year, one
Speaker 2: of the best bets I ever made, one of the
Speaker 2: best wagers I've ever made in my life, was in
Speaker 2: the playoff game against the Niners, Mercedes Lewis fumbled the
Speaker 2: ball on a pass and you could live bet player
Speaker 2: props in the playoffs, and I just bet, repeat max
Speaker 2: bet until the account was at zero. Mercedes Lewis under
Speaker 2: zero point five catches remainder of game because I knew
Speaker 2: there was no chance Rogers was gonna throw him the
Speaker 2: ball again. And Mercedes Lewis never caught the ball again.
Speaker 2: He was done. Rogers yesterday took a deep shot, had
Speaker 2: it great, pass dropped the rest of the game. Took
Speaker 2: one more deep shot the entire game and it was
Speaker 2: a give up interception. The rest of the game only
Speaker 2: threw four more passes more than ten yards past the
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. Now, last year, Rogers started the season
Speaker 2: off with a miserable loss, got their ass kicked by
Speaker 2: the Saints, came back the rest of the year was amazing.
Speaker 2: They want MVP. It was great until the playoffs. But
Speaker 2: Rogers gets frustrated and gets in his own feelings about
Speaker 2: stuff and lets it affect him. And so now what
Speaker 2: I will say is, what was the vikings If they're
Speaker 2: going to win the division? This is their single biggest
Speaker 2: game of the year, and there's our time will be
Speaker 2: quick here. Their home game against Green Bay is as
Speaker 2: close to a must win game as there is, and
Speaker 2: they won it. And Justin Jefferson was excellent. But if
Speaker 2: you told me the Vikings were gonna win, I would
Speaker 2: have said, Okay, they win thirty one to twenty eight.
Speaker 2: They outscore green Bay. Now, their offense was good. They
Speaker 2: scored twenty three points. Like they weren't overwhelming on offense.
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson was unbelievable, and Rodgers told him after the
Speaker 2: game he was the best player in the game. I
Speaker 2: wonder if Rogers, by the way, the quote is, uh,
Speaker 2: you were the best guy. What did I want to
Speaker 2: get the exact quote, because I couldn't tell if you
Speaker 2: he says you were the best guy in the game today.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was saying, like in the
Speaker 2: NFL today, you're the best, or if he was saying
Speaker 2: in today's game, you were the best. There's no doubt
Speaker 2: he was saying, and there was no doubt that he
Speaker 2: was the best player in that game. I wondered if
Speaker 2: Rogers might be saying, you're the best player in the league, bro,
Speaker 2: like you are the I'm not sure what he was
Speaker 2: saying Justin Jefferson definitely has an argument. He's the best
Speaker 2: receiver in the league, no question about it. But to
Speaker 2: get back to the topic, if you told me the
Speaker 2: Vikings were gonna win, it wouldn't have shocked me, but
Speaker 2: I would have thought they want to shootout the fact
Speaker 2: that Packers were just totally unable to move the football
Speaker 2: and the Vikings all they needed was a monster Justin
Speaker 2: Jefferson game and that was it to never being you know,
Speaker 2: at any risk. It was a little concerning. I still
Speaker 2: think the Packers are the smart bet to win the
Speaker 2: division because of the Packers and when Rodgers healthy, they
Speaker 2: win the division every year. But rogers inability to deal
Speaker 2: with frustration is a consistent point of concern for the Packers,
Speaker 2: and it reared its head immediately this year, just like
Speaker 2: it did last year and then last year. The rest
Speaker 2: of the year he was great. Was I would imagine
Speaker 2: they get the Bears this week in Green Bay. They're
Speaker 2: gonna annihilate them. But it's just something to watch, all right.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 4: When it comes to towing, seeing is believing. That's why
Speaker 4: Chevy Truck's advanced camera technology offers up to eight available
Speaker 4: cameras for fourteen unique views, so you can focus on
Speaker 4: the view that really matters. Chevrolet. Together, let's drive learn
Speaker 4: more about Chevy Truck's at Chevy dot Com Safety. Your
Speaker 4: driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver's responsibility
Speaker 4: to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. With the
Speaker 4: vehicle owner's manual for important future limitations and information.
Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's Right, Nick Wright, episode number sixty seven.
Speaker 2: As this NFL Monday, you guys will be seeing this
Speaker 2: on Tuesday for Week one rolls on a wild finish
Speaker 2: to the one o'clock window. Those last twenty minutes from
Speaker 2: about three fifty five pm Easterns of about four thirty
Speaker 2: pm Eastern was just insane half hour of football. We'll
Speaker 2: get to those games in a moment. We'll also get
Speaker 2: to my pending lawsuit against George Lucas, Disney Star Wars,
Speaker 2: all of it, but first de Monse. Even though it's
Speaker 2: an NFL Monday, one last time this year, give it
Speaker 2: to me, Give it to me, NICKT Tennis Corner. Let's
Speaker 2: go you.
Speaker 3: We're taking a little break from football. Let's talk about
Speaker 3: the finishing up of the US Open. Yes, Carlos Alcaaz
Speaker 3: won his first Grand Slam after winning three five setters
Speaker 3: in a row. Yes, does he remind you of a
Speaker 3: young fretder or a Nadal.
Speaker 2: Young feederer or Nadal?
Speaker 3: So listen.
Speaker 2: Alcaaz is unbelievable. He just won a US Open. It
Speaker 2: nineteen years old. Nadal won his first major at just
Speaker 2: young nineteen. He had just turned nineteen when he won
Speaker 2: the French first time. Sampras won his first major at nineteen.
Speaker 2: The youngest major winner ever, I think is Michael Chang.
Speaker 2: Michael Chang, it was crazy. He won it seventeen the
Speaker 2: French Open. Never won another major, So that can happen.
Speaker 2: That is not gonna happen. To call Carlos Alcaraz he
Speaker 2: is potentially going to be an all timer. Now, it
Speaker 2: is going to be hard for all of us to
Speaker 2: adjust our eyes to what being an all timer means.
Speaker 2: Because Augusty, one of the greatest ever, won eight majors.
Speaker 2: Bjorn Borg, who a lot of people would argue, is
Speaker 2: you star you is the greatest ever one eleven. Sampris
Speaker 2: considered for many the greatest ever for a very long time,
Speaker 2: won fourteen majors, and then Federer won twenty, Novak won
Speaker 2: twenty one, and Rafa won twenty two. So comparing anybody
Speaker 2: to those three guys is a fool's Errand okay, you
Speaker 2: would to compare favorably to any of those guys, I
Speaker 2: means you're gonna have an argument as the greatest player. Ever, however,
Speaker 2: Federer is basically done now. Novak isn't done, but his
Speaker 2: vaccine stance keeps preventing him from being able to compete
Speaker 2: in all the majors, and he is getting older. Rafa
Speaker 2: is obviously past his prime. I think he'll probably win
Speaker 2: another major or two even, but there's an opening now. Tiafo,
Speaker 2: who could be the most exciting men's player in a
Speaker 2: decade plus? Obviously is you know, the guy that is
Speaker 2: going to come out of this with a big star
Speaker 2: turn as well. But folks have been following tennis.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Al Karez is the guy that everyone said, oh, come
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, twenty twenty five, he'll be the best
Speaker 2: player in the world. The fact that he now is
Speaker 2: a major champion and got the number one player in
Speaker 2: the world ranking and winning it the way he did.
Speaker 2: The matches he played leading up to the final were
Speaker 2: so utterly spectacular. There was the match I told you
Speaker 2: that was five hours and fifteen minutes. The second longest
Speaker 2: was old match ever. The fact that he had the
Speaker 2: legs to win three straight five setters before the final.
Speaker 2: I would set his career major championships. If you set
Speaker 2: it nine and a half, I would take the over,
Speaker 2: which would put him as one of the Rod labor like,
Speaker 2: one of the greatest guys ever. Now is he gonna
Speaker 2: get up into the teams?
Speaker 3: That's so good? Why is he getting the five sets?
Speaker 3: He's just a child, But why is it going? I
Speaker 3: feel like it should be over a little bit sooner.
Speaker 3: I feel like, if you're really good, you're getting year.
Speaker 3: He is nineteen.
Speaker 2: He is a young in I mean, that's why he's
Speaker 2: not He's not yet ready to win majors in straight sets.
Speaker 2: The other guy's pretty good too, Okay, I mean that's it.
Speaker 2: That was I mean, that's not a bad one liner
Speaker 2: by you. If he's so good, why is he taking
Speaker 2: five sets? He won the he won last night, and
Speaker 2: four he won in four sets. But as much as
Speaker 2: I love tennis, we now must get back to football
Speaker 2: once again. This is why the US opened move it
Speaker 2: back a week okay, next.
Speaker 3: All right, Monday Night football preview. Yeah, Russ is going
Speaker 3: back to Seattle tonight and Denver is favored by six
Speaker 3: and a half on the road. Why exactly are people
Speaker 3: betting Seattle? Are people just overthinking this one? Well?
Speaker 2: I don't know if many people are betting Seattle though,
Speaker 2: because it started with Denver by four it is now
Speaker 2: up to six and a half or seven, depending on
Speaker 2: where you get it, So a lot of people are
Speaker 2: betting Denver. Here's what I would tell you. I don't
Speaker 2: want to spend a lot on this because people this
Speaker 2: game will have happened by the time people will hear
Speaker 2: or see this. I think it's either Denver in a
Speaker 2: blowout or Seattle wins out right. So my gambling advice
Speaker 2: would be, don't take Denver Seattle plus the points. Either
Speaker 2: take Seattle and lay the points, or just take Denver
Speaker 2: on the money line if it's I'm sorry, or just
Speaker 2: take Seattle on the money line. I think Seattle if
Speaker 2: it's closed, I think they can win. And the reason
Speaker 2: people are betting this, I'm gonna show you a bit
Speaker 2: and maybe we can add it to the show post production.
Speaker 2: If not, I'll just describe it the reason people are
Speaker 2: betting on if they are on Seattle, it's because this
Speaker 2: is the corniest man alive. Hold on, watch this. Describe
Speaker 2: to the audience what you're watching Russell Wilson. Do there?
Speaker 2: Describe what he's doing.
Speaker 3: So Russell Wilson came out of the came out of
Speaker 3: the locker room. I'm assuming did like the little cross
Speaker 3: up to jeezus. Was that like a greedy.
Speaker 2: No buddy he is? And by the way, oh, I'm
Speaker 2: being told let me have that back to Monseay. I'm
Speaker 2: being told, by the way, this is going to come
Speaker 2: out before the games. I thought people were gonna see
Speaker 2: it on Tuesday, but you're gonna be able to see
Speaker 2: it Monday afternoon. But regardless, No, what you saw right
Speaker 2: there was Russell Wilson practicing high fives.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, he.
Speaker 2: Is in full uniform coming out of the locker room
Speaker 2: doing ghost high fives.
Speaker 3: Man, the guy misses his teammate.
Speaker 2: He is such a dork. He is eas I'm gonna
Speaker 2: start calling him Nathan Fielder if from the rehearsal HBO
Speaker 2: fans will get that, dude, No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I practicing it is kind of It's the worst.
Speaker 2: It's a little different, the worst Russell, Nathan Fielder, Wilson,
Speaker 2: his whole life's a rehearsal. It's unbelievable. That's why gun
Speaker 2: to my head. If I have to pick a winner,
Speaker 2: obviously I'll pick Denver, But the gambling part of me says, actually,
Speaker 2: you know what, gun to minad, I don't pick Denver.
Speaker 2: I'm not picking this game because I retract that because
Speaker 2: this feels like, and I said this on Friday, the
Speaker 2: game that ruins everyone's teaser, the game that the bad gamblers,
Speaker 2: you know, rush in to try to make up for
Speaker 2: their Sunday losses, and Gino Smith and Seattle could shock them.
Speaker 2: So it's to stay away from me. I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: pulling for Seattle. I know that much. All right, let's
Speaker 2: get to the other games.
Speaker 3: All right, So, oh new segment, Oh new segment. Freak
Speaker 3: out or chill Everybody's gonna overreact to Sunday's games, and
Speaker 3: you decide whether they should freak out or relax and
Speaker 3: chill out.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: The craziest game of the weekend was pitt Cincy. Joe
Speaker 3: Burrow turned the ball over five times against Pittsburgh, but
Speaker 3: the Bengals almost won the game. Anyways, should the Bengals
Speaker 3: freak out or chill out?
Speaker 2: I think both of these teams actually should moderately freak out. Okay,
Speaker 2: here's the Let me start with the Steelers. TJ. Watt
Speaker 2: looks like he tore his pack. If he did, he's
Speaker 2: done for the year. He's the best player on their team.
Speaker 2: He was a monster in this game. If he's done
Speaker 2: for the year, they are just screwed. Okay, so I
Speaker 2: think the aid it's a costly victory the Bengals. The
Speaker 2: reason I would be concerned if I were them is
Speaker 2: the coaching at the end of this game was awful.
Speaker 2: They had a touchdown to Jamar Chase if they would
Speaker 2: have challenged if they didn't, yeah, rude up the clock
Speaker 2: in overtime. The coaching was terrible. That's not my biggest concern, though.
Speaker 2: My biggest concern also isn't burrows five turnovers the four
Speaker 2: picks and one even got overturned in the fumble. That's
Speaker 2: an outlier event. The concern with Cincinnati last year was
Speaker 2: the offensive line. Supposedly they so Burrow's rookie year, he
Speaker 2: gets his acl blown out because of the offensive line.
Speaker 2: Last year, he got the shit kicked out of him
Speaker 2: all year. Was able to overcome it. This offseason. The
Speaker 2: word was offensive line revamped. Fix didn't look like so.
Speaker 2: I would be concerned if I'm Cincinnati that a. We
Speaker 2: had no business losing that game. Pittsburgh's offense could do nothing.
Speaker 2: We had an extra point at the end to win
Speaker 2: the game. We screwed it up. We had a chip
Speaker 2: shot field goal in overtime, but our backup long snapper
Speaker 2: blew it. By the way sidebar. I have been watching
Speaker 2: football my whole life, and it overtime situations. I have
Speaker 2: seen teams kick on third down forever because the argument is, oh,
Speaker 2: in case there's a bad snap, you want a chance
Speaker 2: to not have to kick it, you can fall on
Speaker 2: the football and then kick on fourth down. I've seen
Speaker 2: teams do this forever. I've never seen a team actually
Speaker 2: execute it. I've never seen a team call out the
Speaker 2: field goal unit on third down snap, spike the ball
Speaker 2: or fall on it, then kick it on fourth. But
Speaker 2: I've seen teams waste it down so they have that
Speaker 2: in their back pocket forever. Yesterday happened and they didn't
Speaker 2: do it. It was a terrible snap. The backup long
Speaker 2: snapper is in there. The guy barely snags it and
Speaker 2: then can't get the ball down right, laces instead, the
Speaker 2: laces out and kicks it dead left, fall on it.
Speaker 2: You finally had the opportunity. He didn't do it. So
Speaker 2: the Steelers win. But I would be really concerned if
Speaker 2: I'm Cincinnati about the offensive line and about Borrow getting
Speaker 2: beat up. And I think Baltimore is gonna be really
Speaker 2: good in that division, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, everyone's down on the Patriots all preseason, and they
Speaker 3: looked just as bad as advertised with only putting up
Speaker 3: seven points against Miami. Yeah, should the Patriots freak out
Speaker 3: or should they chill out?
Speaker 2: They should absolutely freak out. Now they do get lucky
Speaker 2: in this regard. They get Pittsburgh next week. Naja Harris
Speaker 2: is banged up, TJ. Watts out, and Pittsburgh's coming off
Speaker 2: a five quarter game, right so in a lot of ways,
Speaker 2: that's a fortuitous kind of schedule moment for them. But
Speaker 2: they are screwed, man, and we're gonna go a little
Speaker 2: overtime here.
Speaker 3: I apologize.
Speaker 2: Uh, their offense is going to be an abomination all
Speaker 2: year long. Mac Jones was just trying to dink and
Speaker 2: dunk his way to glory didn't happen. He his lack
Speaker 2: of awareness on the strip. Sack was terrible. No one
Speaker 2: on that team scares you. I didn't think Miami played
Speaker 2: that well. I thought too was fine. And Miami dominated
Speaker 2: them utterly and totally dominated them. And by the way,
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick is now since Tom Brady left seventeen and eighteen,
Speaker 2: that's brutal below five hundred in the.
Speaker 3: Thirty five Brady's ability.
Speaker 2: Sure seems like it right in the thirty five games
Speaker 2: post Brady Belichick is now seventeen and eighteen. Let me
Speaker 2: just look at the Patriots schedule real quick. If they
Speaker 2: were to lose to Pittsburgh, which again no TJ. Watt
Speaker 2: I didn't love Pittsburgh's offense that game, I'm sure is
Speaker 2: about to pick them in Vegas because it's in New England.
Speaker 2: So let me see what New England has the red.
Speaker 2: So they're at Pittsburgh. If they don't win that game,
Speaker 2: it's then home against Baltimore. I'm gonna get crushed and
Speaker 2: at if they don't win on Sunday, they're oh and four.
Speaker 2: Then it softens up for two months and then the
Speaker 2: end of the year for New England at Minnesota, home
Speaker 2: for Buffalo, at Arizona at the Raiders, home for Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: home for Miami, who's beat them four in a row,
Speaker 2: and then at Buffalo they could start the year zero
Speaker 2: and four and end the year losing six out of seven.
Speaker 2: So yeah, absolutely freak out time in.
Speaker 3: New England and that New England's favored by one next week?
Speaker 2: Okay, I said it. I thought it might be a
Speaker 2: pick them. Yeah, it's in New England. So what is
Speaker 2: that about? Why is New England favored by one? The
Speaker 2: answer that's very simple is, Oh, it's not in New England.
Speaker 2: It's in Pittsburgh. Well, then it's not that.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: I don't know if mac Jones should be a favorite
Speaker 2: on the road, even against Mitch Trubisky. I was thinking
Speaker 2: that game was in New England, New England.
Speaker 3: Brian Oyer might play.
Speaker 2: But yeah, mac Jones fast back, but I don't think
Speaker 2: he's gonna play. No, and that would actually not help
Speaker 2: them in the line. Oh man, I don't know that
Speaker 2: I can bet Pittsburgh with Mitch Trubisky at home, or
Speaker 2: with Mitch Trubisky anywhere, but I mac Jones is a
Speaker 2: road favorite even of just a point, seems odd.
Speaker 3: Much the TJ.
Speaker 2: Watt injury. All right, that's one to monitor. All right.
Speaker 3: Next, you were super high on the Colts this year. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but they tied with the freaking Texans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, stir and come back.
Speaker 3: Should the Colts freak out? No, no, no, or should
Speaker 3: they chill out?
Speaker 2: They should chill out. No reason to freak out.
Speaker 3: So listen.
Speaker 2: Of course, they were down twenty to three going into
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, right they end up scoring seventeen straight points,
Speaker 2: tying the game. They blow it in overtime. The Colts, though,
Speaker 2: under Frank Reich, are always awful early and then get
Speaker 2: it together late. And what they what they have going
Speaker 2: for them is they, I believe, can build a little
Speaker 2: bit off of the fact that instead of just rolling
Speaker 2: over down twenty to three, they they put up a fight.
Speaker 2: And by the way, a tie in that division right
Speaker 2: now is not bad. I mean, the Titans blew a
Speaker 2: game and lost. They had no business losing, but they did.
Speaker 2: The Jags gave a game away, so frustrating. So the
Speaker 2: Texans and Colts are oho to one and tied for
Speaker 2: the divisional lead. Again, I'm high on the Colt's ability
Speaker 2: to have a gaudy regular season record and to win
Speaker 2: that division. I was never high on their ability as
Speaker 2: a true contender, but I did say I thought they
Speaker 2: could maybe win twelve games. I still believe that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I still believe that, even though they're not a team
Speaker 2: you're gonna believe in as a championship contender. All right,
Speaker 2: But no, so they should not freak out. They should
Speaker 2: they should chill out, all right?
Speaker 3: Next well, speaking to Tennessee, they blew a late lead
Speaker 3: to the Giants at home. Reminder, this is the number
Speaker 3: one seed in the AFC. Lest should the Titans freak
Speaker 3: out or should they chill out? Oh?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, the titansers are in real trouble. They're
Speaker 2: in real trouble. First of all. Next week they're at Buffalo,
Speaker 2: then they're home for the Raiders, then they're at Andy,
Speaker 2: and then they play Indy again a couple weeks later.
Speaker 2: This could get away for them fast. The blowing that
Speaker 2: game to the Giants the way they did and screwing
Speaker 2: up Rabels, screwed up the end of the game situation.
Speaker 2: These coaches that act like forty seven yard field goals
Speaker 2: are a gimme. They had time to try to get
Speaker 2: it a little closer instead, they went back, They had
Speaker 2: Tannehill go backwards on the final play, and then Fat
Speaker 2: Randy Randy Bullock. And I know Big Gat calls him
Speaker 2: Fat Randy. That is my the kicker, that is my catchphrase.
Speaker 2: Big Kat didn't know he sold for me, but he did.
Speaker 2: And again, I'm not trying to body shame anybody, but
Speaker 2: Randy Bullock was the Texans kicker when I was in
Speaker 2: Houston and I was supposed to go with the team
Speaker 2: on the team flight to a game, and that week,
Speaker 2: the week before, he had missed a kick and I
Speaker 2: kept calling Fat Randy on the radio, and so they
Speaker 2: disinvited me. They disinvited from going on the team flight
Speaker 2: because they said I was being mean to the kicker.
Speaker 2: I was heckling the kicker. Now he's the Titans kicker
Speaker 2: and he blew the game. Uh No, I think Titans
Speaker 2: are in real trouble. I think Danehill is about done
Speaker 2: with their I think they missed aj Brown. I think
Speaker 2: Titans are in real, real trouble. Do we have anything
Speaker 2: more or we got one more? Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 3: We got your boy. You picked Jacksonville to come on
Speaker 3: top of the Commanders.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But Trevor Lawrence didn't come through on a chance to
Speaker 3: win it late in the game.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's nonsense. Trevor Lawrence led the comeback Travizetti and
Speaker 2: dropped a two touchdown passes. One on fourth down. Lawrence
Speaker 2: led the com and then the Jags defense let him down. No,
Speaker 2: Dagbarterer should chill out. They're fine, They've got Trevor. I
Speaker 2: actually Trevor played well. I liked how they fought. They
Speaker 2: should have won the game. No, no, no, the defense,
Speaker 2: the number one pick of the draft had a sack
Speaker 2: and a pick.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Listen, that's a tough loss to swallow. But no one
Speaker 2: in the AFC South is gonna aside from the Colts.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're I think you're gonna get easy
Speaker 2: games against the Texans and easy games against the Titans.
Speaker 2: I feel good about my Jags sneaking to the playoffs
Speaker 2: with the seventh seeds. I do. I don't feel I
Speaker 2: can't believe this didn't make the show. But I don't
Speaker 2: feel great about Panthers and Baker.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, honestly, what's going on?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I saw that.
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe just stay out. But look, here's
Speaker 2: what I say about Baker rallied in the fourth quarter
Speaker 2: and they got screwed. Can I say something about it
Speaker 2: about the team getting screwed this week? Then we'll move on.
Speaker 2: So Baker was horrendous in the first half, then Rilly
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. They take a lead the damn
Speaker 2: Browns then get a phantom rupping the passer call. All right,
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. But then Jakobe Wesseat fake spiked and
Speaker 2: then spiked. That's against the rule. They flagged it, and
Speaker 2: then they picked it up and that, and so of
Speaker 2: course it was weird. It had been a ten yard
Speaker 2: pin on in a ten second runoff, they'd had one play,
Speaker 2: it had be a hail Mary. Instead, this rookie Cade
Speaker 2: York kicks and credit to him, nails a fifty eight
Speaker 2: yard field goal at the gun to win. But that's
Speaker 2: theft man. They and for them, it'd be one thing
Speaker 2: if they missed it, but for them to flag it
Speaker 2: and then discuss it and pick it up is terrible.
Speaker 2: I feel awful for Baker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do feel as well. But do you want
Speaker 3: me to take over? I got it all right, yeah, man.
Speaker 3: The whole Baker thing's super unfortunate because I think he
Speaker 3: just really put a lot of pressure on himself as
Speaker 3: far as saying that he was gonna quote unquote the
Speaker 3: Bears or the Browns up. I just think like when
Speaker 3: you say things like that, you're forced to have to
Speaker 3: perform for the for the audio listeners. Uh, my dad
Speaker 3: is his went to look for his backpack, which explains
Speaker 3: why I'm the only one speaking right now.
Speaker 2: I went to look for my backpack, and.
Speaker 3: You probably shouldn't go because.
Speaker 2: I wanted to show everybody the T shirt, the Baker
Speaker 2: Mayfield officially licensed T shirt I bought to taunt Chris
Speaker 2: Breustard with on the TV show Off the Leash Baker
Speaker 2: Mayfield Live and in person Carolina versus Cleveland. I ain't
Speaker 2: paid for rush shipping on this. I made fifty two
Speaker 2: dollars for this thing.
Speaker 3: Now you got to shrink it and give it to
Speaker 3: d end.
Speaker 2: Now it's youth. However, you know there's all these happy accidents.
Speaker 2: Demand and I have the same backpack. They're both first things,
Speaker 2: first backpack. So when I got up to look for mine,
Speaker 2: I found his, and this guy's just out here chilling
Speaker 2: with a little little I mean, look at this, Oh,
Speaker 2: gas station hit Asy bottle at the bottom of his backpack.
Speaker 2: And that's not all. Hold on, and then a little
Speaker 2: gas station Bacardi bottle. Well, listen, buddy, I grabbed the
Speaker 2: wrong backpack. Danta out here living his best life.
Speaker 3: Lease audio listeners. My dad is going through his backpack
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: Your backpack, your backpack, and I mean there's this airplane
Speaker 2: bottles of kognak and and Bacardi.
Speaker 3: I like the pregame alone.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh yeah, what's the problem, all right, buddy? That
Speaker 2: I mean, at least throw it away. This is your
Speaker 2: work stuff, pal, all right. As a rousing addition, Week

Speaker 2: to wrap up and I need to go do the
Speaker 2: TV show. But first, So I was in Memphis this
Speaker 2: weekend for about thirty six hours to go see the
Speaker 2: Southern Heritage Classic Jackson State Tennessee State. It was an
Speaker 2: amazing time. The folks of Memphis were so, so unbelievably hospitable.
Speaker 2: The tailgating at this game was and I'm from Kansas
Speaker 2: City elite. Oh my god, I'm used to elite tailgating
Speaker 2: experiences being from Kansas City. A third of the tailgates
Speaker 2: had deep fryers for fried fish and chicken. It was
Speaker 2: Memphis with two HBCUs. It was unbelievable. So when I'm
Speaker 2: on my way to brunch Saturday morning, watching Alabama, Texas.
Speaker 2: On my phone, I get an alert about a tweet
Speaker 2: and I look and someone is tweeted the guy that
Speaker 2: hosts a really good MAVs podcast. A few other people
Speaker 2: tweeted as well, but this was the one I saw. Uh,
Speaker 2: why isn't get nick right in the newest Star Wars?
Speaker 2: And I don't want I don't know anything about the
Speaker 2: Star Wars universe. I never called onto that. I don't
Speaker 2: know who count dook who is. But I did see
Speaker 2: this image and I think we can put it on.
Speaker 2: And if you listen, that's a screenshot from the show Demonse,
Speaker 2: that's me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's so crazy that I didn't even think
Speaker 3: it was a part of an ongoing cartoons.
Speaker 2: My hair is now correct, Demonse thought someone made it
Speaker 2: next to this. But what's even more amazing. And if
Speaker 2: you go to my Twitter you can see it. And again,
Speaker 2: my hair is pulled back right now, so it's not
Speaker 2: it's like.
Speaker 3: Your hair with the money in your glasses, Like that's.
Speaker 2: What exactly right, the hair that's the top of my
Speaker 2: Twitter header. But here's the other thing in that in
Speaker 2: that scene from the show, there's a character next to
Speaker 2: him that's played by Sam Jackson and look and looks
Speaker 2: identical to Sam Jackson.
Speaker 3: Right, So I.
Speaker 2: Feel like.
Speaker 3: I don't know.

Speaker 2: I mean the nose, even the beard, the hair style
Speaker 2: where it's now like it's me, bro and they've got
Speaker 2: billions of dollars. It's so much that it's me that
Speaker 2: when somebody asked how did this happen? I jokingly tweeted,
Speaker 2: it happened because I have great representation at Clutch Sports
Speaker 2: and people. I think right now people believe that that
Speaker 2: is supposed to be me because it is me.
Speaker 3: He's claiming it.
Speaker 2: No, they clearly drew that dude off me.
Speaker 3: Wait wait he does look he literally looks just like you. Yes, okay,
Speaker 3: I'll just leave. I don't I'm not trying to do.
Speaker 2: You think it's a coincidence.
Speaker 3: I think it's a crazy You think this is like
Speaker 3: you think the I think whoever the arts rules.
Speaker 2: I think whoever the artist is. If you're creating a
Speaker 2: character out of a figment of your imagination, I think
Speaker 2: the artist, Like you've got to just said, like, maybe
Speaker 2: they do this for a lot of cartoons. I don't know,
Speaker 2: they just have them look like somebody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you're also not like a random dude either, right,
Speaker 3: It's like.
Speaker 2: Of course I'm not a random dude. That's my point.
Speaker 2: I think, I think I want to know who drew it,
Speaker 2: and I want to I want to know. Are they
Speaker 2: big sports fans? I'm kind of flattered.
Speaker 3: And we can actually that.
Speaker 2: I mean, it is too spot on for it to
Speaker 2: be happenstance. It's it's the beard, it's the it's the

Speaker 2: Here's what I want to know though, And this is
Speaker 2: what's more important. The next time they make an actual
Speaker 2: Star Wars.
