Speaker 2: Welcome in episode one nine, What's right with Nick Wright
Speaker 2: Ton to do? Sorry for the delay today, you're having
Speaker 2: slight technical difficulties. The technical difficulties might be continuing as
Speaker 2: I'm just seeing myself in return. I don't see any
Speaker 2: of the extra boxes or the animation. Hopefully the folks
Speaker 2: on YouTube there there we go. Now we're seeing all
Speaker 2: of it, and I can see Demanse, who you know,
Speaker 2: is fresh off a nice Celtics win. Buddy, it was
Speaker 2: touch and go there for a minute. But your new
Speaker 2: look Celtics with Chris STAPs Porzengis who listen before you
Speaker 2: even go I'm gonna go ahead and reveal to the audience.
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna be bothered by this. You
Speaker 2: you have not watched a ton of Kristaps Porzingis in
Speaker 2: your life, because when he was like the star prospect
Speaker 2: and at his apex with the Knicks, you weren't watching
Speaker 2: a ton of NBA. When you played a lot of basketball,
Speaker 2: you didn't watch a lot of basketball. And then obviously
Speaker 2: last year, when you were watching a ton of NBA,
Speaker 2: you weren't watching the Wizards.
Speaker 3: So you're familiar with him one time though, Oh really,
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know that I'm playing person when he
Speaker 3: played against the Nets last year.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right. Yeah, when we went to that game,
Speaker 2: that that's right, And so that you have so familiarity.
Speaker 2: But it is going to be a maddening experience for
Speaker 2: you because there are nights like last night where you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: my god, as our third option, this guy's unbelievable. And
Speaker 2: then there are gonna be nights and that is assuming
Speaker 2: health where he is one of the most frustrating players
Speaker 2: in the league to watch, but last year he was good.
Speaker 2: That actually is not the biggest NB Pardon me, I
Speaker 2: apologize NBA Story of the Night. We will get to that.
Speaker 2: We have a gambling show for USh off of winning
Speaker 2: week for me, another losing week for Demonse's teasers, which
Speaker 2: might need to go back to the lab. They might
Speaker 2: need some serious adjustment. But here's what missed the cut
Speaker 2: for today's show, the Titans quarterback situation. Malik Willis or
Speaker 2: will Levitz not good. Lebron only playing twenty nine minutes
Speaker 2: in the Tuesday night loss, that he will play Kevin
Speaker 2: Durant tonight for the first time since Christmas of twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: and the World Series starts Friday Rangers Diamondbacks. We might
Speaker 2: get through the entire baseball season without talking baseball. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure, but it's looking like that at least on
Speaker 2: this show. Where we have to start though, is with
Speaker 2: my large adult Slovenian son against everyone's favorite Frenchman Demons.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 3: The much anticipated NBA debut for Wimby happened last night,
Speaker 3: and he did just about what everybody thought he would.
Speaker 3: Was in foul trouble for majority of the time. It
Speaker 3: was a big impact on defense. Nonetheless, it was very
Speaker 3: impactful from perimeter. Within the three point shots. You seem
Speaker 3: to come around on Wimby. You weren't super high ont
Speaker 3: in before. But are you looking to adopt a new
Speaker 3: French son or are you limited to your Slovenian son
Speaker 3: in Luka Doncic, anybody but you're African American son over here.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, well hold on, I mean that was
Speaker 2: well done, sir. I have my large adult Slovenian son,
Speaker 2: Lukadncic will be my only fake child for the time being.
Speaker 2: I so here's the deal. I am not going to
Speaker 2: overreact to Wimby's debut in a negative way. He got
Speaker 2: in foul trouble. He had four turnovers, two of which
Speaker 2: were offensive fouls in like a two minute stretch, which
Speaker 2: really kind of threw off his evening because we did
Speaker 2: see his first Summer League game, he played poorly and
Speaker 2: then was excellent in the rest of the exhibition season.
Speaker 2: He seemed a little uneasy and in foul trouble obviously
Speaker 2: for those first three quarters, but then he was very
Speaker 2: impactful late and the Spurs could have stolen that game
Speaker 2: if not for Luka Doncic doing Lukadncich's things. Luca was sensational.
Speaker 2: Kyrie had a couple big shots late, but Luca was
Speaker 2: excellent throughout, so he did. Listen, if you bet wimby
Speaker 2: unders yesterday, every single one of them hit his minutes,
Speaker 2: his points, his rebounds, his blocks. All of the unders
Speaker 2: came through. And it was because he didn't have a
Speaker 2: real impact in the first half and then in the
Speaker 2: early second half he got in all that foul trouble.
Speaker 2: But he had a nice flurry in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: a nine point flurry to get the Spurs right back
Speaker 2: in the game to take the lead. Here is I'm
Speaker 2: gonna just go out and give one over arching win
Speaker 2: bin Yama take. That is I think going to be
Speaker 2: the actual story of the first decade of his career.
Speaker 2: If he becomes a knockdown three point shooter, he will
Speaker 2: be the guy that the hype is absolutely real. Not
Speaker 2: greatest player of all time, I'm not talking about that,
Speaker 2: but the this guy's going to be a well above
Speaker 2: average number one overall pick, which if you're an above
Speaker 2: average number one overall pick, you're a great, great player.
Speaker 2: If he does not become a knockdown three point shooter,
Speaker 2: because his shot looks great, but the percentages for his
Speaker 2: career are not good. It's like, right, at thirty percent,
Speaker 2: it looks like a shot that will be good, and
Speaker 2: last night it was. If he doesn't, he is going
Speaker 2: to be an incredibly frustrating offensive player if he doesn't
Speaker 2: change his style, because at his size and at his length,
Speaker 2: he can do devastating damage with the Kevin Garnett offensive
Speaker 2: game plan of shooting over guys mid range and kind
Speaker 2: of short mid range rolling to the basket. And so
Speaker 2: I think the plan is and the initial plan and
Speaker 2: I get it will be just work on that three
Speaker 2: point shot because it's it's truly unblockable. Kd's shot gets
Speaker 2: blocked like four times a year, and he's five inches
Speaker 2: taller than KD. If he becomes that, he's gonna be
Speaker 2: the guy that everybody says because defensively he is such
Speaker 2: a deterrent the way we discussed the other day, the
Speaker 2: way a lockdown corner is where guys won't even throw
Speaker 2: to his side of the field. And so I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna overreact to Game one. I did bet Scoot to
Speaker 2: win Rookie of the Year. Scoot didn't have a great
Speaker 2: Game one either, but part of that was because I
Speaker 2: thought that I didn't know how much Wimby would play
Speaker 2: and how many games he would play. The other thing
Speaker 2: is the foul trouble will be an adjustment. The rookie
Speaker 2: last night sidebar before you go to Monsey. The rookie
Speaker 2: in that game last night that was awesome was Derek
Speaker 2: Lively for the MAVs, which they were only able to
Speaker 2: draft him because they threw away the final week of
Speaker 2: their season so that pick didn't convey in a trade.
Speaker 2: They kept the pick because it was top ten protected.
Speaker 2: They drafted in with the tenth pick. Luca loved him,
Speaker 2: and Luca was of course excellent, and Luca has a
Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder this year. Luca's got something to
Speaker 2: prove in that when people say who's the best player
Speaker 2: in the league, do people say Luka Ancic demonse.
Speaker 3: No you once in a while, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I don't think he's the best player in the league.
Speaker 2: He is not even like in contention for that. That
Speaker 2: is that has turned into a true two man race
Speaker 2: with Jannis and Jokic. And then when you hear people
Speaker 2: be like, okay, other than Jannis and Jokic, like give
Speaker 2: me an MVP pick. You're hearing Tatum's name, You're hearing
Speaker 2: Devin Booker's name. You Like, it's not that people think, oh,
Speaker 2: Lucas no good, but he went from being in a
Speaker 2: Triple A lister to is what happens when you miss
Speaker 2: the playoffs where it's like, ah, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: and you haven't seen you in a while, two months
Speaker 2: of high leverage basketball and you weren't involved in it,
Speaker 2: as opposed to after the season before last, when he
Speaker 2: carries that ragtag group to the conference finals and be like,
Speaker 2: you know, lucas the MVP favorite. Like going into last year,
Speaker 2: a lot of people myself included, were saying Luca is
Speaker 2: the best European in the league. He's better than Jokic.
Speaker 2: Nobody is saying that now, and so Luca does have
Speaker 2: something to prove. I will say, sneaky de demanse I
Speaker 2: was a little concerned about the MAVs from that game,
Speaker 2: the fact that Wimby, like the Spurs outside of Wimby,
Speaker 2: have the least talent of any team in the league.
Speaker 2: Wimby was a non factor for three plus quarters and
Speaker 2: that's a nip and tuck game, Like, that's not great
Speaker 2: for Dallas, but they got the win. That was good.
Speaker 2: There were a few times there looked and by the way,
Speaker 2: Luca thirty three, thirteen and ten, there are a few
Speaker 2: times there it looked like you wanted to say something
Speaker 2: and I just kept going, So go ahead, start my apologies.
Speaker 2: If you wanted to say something about Wimby, Oh no.
Speaker 3: Any you kind of already covered it by saying that,
Speaker 3: you know, the Spurs aren't very talented and the Dallas
Speaker 3: Mavericks are barely hanging around. That was going to ask
Speaker 3: if you were still in on, uh, Luca and Kyrie.
Speaker 3: It's obviously game one, but seems like they've got.
Speaker 2: Something to do there. I've never been in on that
Speaker 2: pairing Listen, I don't think that. I just don't think
Speaker 2: that makes sense. That was a desperate move by a
Speaker 2: desperate team when they traded for Kyrie, and the bet
Speaker 2: was we're getting a top twenty five talent in the
Speaker 2: league for pennies on the dollar. So let it wasn't
Speaker 2: really pennies they I mean Dorian Finney Smith's valuable, like
Speaker 2: they gave away somethings. Call it dimes on the dollar,
Speaker 2: and so we'll roll the dice. But I don't I
Speaker 2: don't love the fit now they and relying on a
Speaker 2: rookie Center is incredibly risky, but Lively was good last night.
Speaker 2: The other big takeaways from last night in the Association,
Speaker 2: if we can just go through it quickly, we already
Speaker 2: mentioned the Celtics. That was an excellent game. The Celtics
Speaker 2: Knicks game, and that's a good win by Boston when
Speaker 2: it looked like Jalen Brown maybe had blown it. What's
Speaker 2: up demands that you look like you're in a Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3: Just curious to see how good the Knicks are moving forward,
Speaker 3: because I don't It was. It was very close throughout
Speaker 3: and there were just some stretches where they were doing
Speaker 3: the same stuff. I saw a lot of turnovers, dumb shots.
Speaker 3: There was like a sequence where I think the Knicks
Speaker 3: cut the lead that they had it they were they
Speaker 3: were down by ten and they cut that down in
Speaker 3: like forty five seconds and it was just off of
Speaker 3: dumb shots. Just a bad decision making. But obviously it's
Speaker 3: only game one and the Knicks might be really good
Speaker 3: and have a.
Speaker 2: Good well, Listen, I don't think the Knicks are really good,
Speaker 2: but I think they are a really good regular season team,
Speaker 2: So I don't think they have and so I think
Speaker 2: winning a hard fought game, right, they have the right pieces,
Speaker 2: a coach that's gonna you know, coaching maybe too hard.
Speaker 2: I think doing all of that makes them a tough
Speaker 2: out in the regular season. So the and Madison Square
Speaker 2: Garden just absolutely on fire for the first game of
Speaker 2: the year. That's a good one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: Boston's on the road, it's first game of the year.
Speaker 2: The Knicks got their full compliment. That's a good win.
Speaker 2: The Rockets got thirty bold thirty bold by the Orlando
Speaker 2: Magic in Emo Odoka's debut with the Rockets. That's not
Speaker 2: great at all. Dylan Brooks actually, you know, to lose
Speaker 2: by thirty in the one game a month that Dylan's
Speaker 2: gonna hit four threes is not great. So I'll just
Speaker 2: be monitoring the Rockets. The Cavs got to win over
Speaker 2: the Nets. That was closer than it probably should have been.
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons, who you know, we spent a lot of
Speaker 2: the offseason talking about, you know, on first things first,
Speaker 2: the Benaissance, because wilds things. Ben Simmons is gonna be
Speaker 2: a real player. He was a customary two of six
Speaker 2: from the field, four points, no free throw attempts, did
Speaker 2: rebound and get did have I think ten rebounds, nine assists.
Speaker 2: The Heat get a sneaky nice win over Detroit. When
Speaker 2: I say sneaky nice, I mean this Detroit Cade. Cunningham
Speaker 2: was the number one pick of the draft a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago, had a really nice rookie year. Cage's
Speaker 2: rookie year. He was seventeen, you know, five and a
Speaker 2: half and five and a half, and it was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: what's he going to be. He then essentially missed all
Speaker 2: of last year with a shin injury, so people kind
Speaker 2: of forgot about him. He was the number one pick
Speaker 2: of a draft. He last night had thirty points and
Speaker 2: nine assists, playing most of the game or I guess
Speaker 2: thirty five thirty six minutes. As the Pistons lose to
Speaker 2: the Heat, the Raptors steal one from the Timberwolves. The
Speaker 2: Bulls lose by twenty. Shay is awesome. In that game,
Speaker 2: Shay Gilgess, Alexander and the Bulls have the earliest team
Speaker 2: meeting of any team or a players only meeting. They
Speaker 2: called a players only meeting after Game one. I've never
Speaker 2: seen such a thing. The Kings light the damn beam again.
Speaker 2: The Pelicans Zion it took him a while to get
Speaker 2: in the flow, but Zion just got all of his
Speaker 2: buckets on the inside. He took one shot Demons outside
Speaker 2: of four feet, and the Pelicans beat the Grizzlies. I'm
Speaker 2: worried about the Grizzlies, not based on Game one, but
Speaker 2: just based on no Jaw for a third of the season.
Speaker 2: No Steven Adams for the whole year. That's concerning. And
Speaker 2: then the Clippers annihilate the Trailblazers in the Blazer is
Speaker 2: gonna be the worst team in the Western Conference. So
Speaker 2: there's a good, little kind of heavy night. One of
Speaker 2: the NBA recap anything you want to add their pal.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, you're real for doing that, the little recap,
Speaker 3: But but no, I mean I'm excited for the Celtics season.
Speaker 3: I won't lie. The only game that I saw last
Speaker 3: night was the Celtics game.
Speaker 2: Listen, how about this. I'm not gonna lie to you either.
Speaker 2: I I had pad an incredibly long week. It's why
Speaker 2: I said today's show is gonna be short. But instead
Speaker 2: we're still in the first segment. We're fifteen minutes in.
Speaker 2: U I went to bed in mid second quarter of
Speaker 2: the Spurs MAVs game, but then got up or after
Speaker 2: I took your sister to the bus stop this morning.
Speaker 2: Through the NBA package, you can rewatch the entirety of
Speaker 2: the game, like without the commercial breaks. So I rewatched
Speaker 2: it all this morning. But I was, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: act like all those games that I just did.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 2: I saw the early group of games on League Pass,
Speaker 2: and then the later games. I went to bed early.
Speaker 2: Oh so go ahead.
Speaker 3: One thing of note that I did notice throughout the
Speaker 3: Celtics game was the flopping thing. There was a call
Speaker 3: on uh, I think it was Drew Holiday. Somebody got
Speaker 3: called for flopping. I forget who it was, but Jason
Speaker 3: Tatum had landed in I think it was Jalen Brunt's,
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson's landing space. He fell back. They called the
Speaker 3: flop on Jalen Brunson. When you went back and you
Speaker 3: watched the replay, Jason Tatum was clearly in his landing zone.
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson fell and it was just like, not only
Speaker 3: did they get not only did they get penalized, but
Speaker 3: they didn't get the shots from the foul that that
Speaker 3: was on them.
Speaker 2: Oh so maybe you're coming around. You made fun of
Speaker 2: me about being anti this new flopping rule. You were like, oh,
Speaker 2: the Lebron fan, of course he wants flopping. You are
Speaker 2: in Game one, you are seeing giving the referees more
Speaker 2: power through discretion usually does not end well.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, And I think, yeah, yeah, it just sucks.
Speaker 3: So I mean, but what I see like happening down
Speaker 3: the line is like when somebody falls, it's always going
Speaker 3: to be either a call or a flopping car. And
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a lot of room for error.
Speaker 2: But hey, well I'm excited to watch that. That's an
Speaker 2: interesting storyline. And tonight in the NBA, this is a great,
Speaker 2: a great two screen night because we have only two
Speaker 2: NBA games, both on TNT, and we have Thursday Night Football,
Speaker 2: a good Thursday night football game. So you've got Sixers
Speaker 2: Bucks Sixers first and Bucks first games of the year,
Speaker 2: and then Suns Lakers. As I mentioned, Lebron and Durant
Speaker 2: playing each other for the first time in five years.
Speaker 2: All right, what's next to Monday?
Speaker 3: All right? So the Bills look to bounce back against
Speaker 3: Baker and the Bucks tonight. Josh Allen took accountability accountability
Speaker 3: in saying that his recent play is bad, and he
Speaker 3: thinks he needs to think less and just play football.
Speaker 3: But doesn't it seem like that's been the problem lately,
Speaker 3: you know, him thinking less with the mistakes that he makes.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's so, let's let's just stay there. I He then,
Speaker 2: also in his defense, was like, or maybe I need
Speaker 2: to think more. He's in shambles a bit, it would appear,
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's the option. I think the
Speaker 2: Bills would be six and one right now if Josh
Speaker 2: Allen just recognized we can win certain games with me
Speaker 2: being Clark Kent and not Superman. They only lose the
Speaker 2: Jets game because Josh can't stop turning the ball over,
Speaker 2: and they lose the Patriots game. In my opinion, I
Speaker 2: can't prove this, but it's my opinion. When he throws
Speaker 2: a pick on the first play of the game against
Speaker 2: the dead in the water Patriots team, it gave them
Speaker 2: hope in life that now, all of a sudden, you're
Speaker 2: in a dogfight. The whole game when I felt like
Speaker 2: the Patriots were ready to roll over. The only game
Speaker 2: all year that if Josh just played within himself I
Speaker 2: think they still would have lost was the Jags game,
Speaker 2: because the Jags did like they the Jags were the
Speaker 2: better team that game. They had been in England for
Speaker 2: a week and a half, a lot of stuff. So
Speaker 2: I just I think the Bills are in a really
Speaker 2: tricky spot tonight because if they lose this game, the
Speaker 2: conversation shifts from is this team gonna get over the
Speaker 2: hump and make the first Super Bowl for the franchise
Speaker 2: in thirty years? Two? Is this team going to miss
Speaker 2: the playoffs? Because if they lose tonight and fall to
Speaker 2: four and four, here's what they have after at Cincinnati,
Speaker 2: a team that rolled them in the playoffs last year
Speaker 2: and in the DeMar Hambling game looked like they were
Speaker 2: the far better team for a quarter than home for
Speaker 2: the Broncos. Fine, then the Jets, who have already beaten them,
Speaker 2: at the Eagles, at the Chiefs home for the Cowboys,
Speaker 2: with still a game in Miami in the final week
Speaker 2: of the year. If the Bills lose tonight, the Bills
Speaker 2: miss sing the postseason becomes a very real point of contention,
Speaker 2: a very real one, and so it's something that needs
Speaker 2: to be watched. The Bucks, on the other hand, are
Speaker 2: just trying to win that crummy a NFC South, and
Speaker 2: so even if they lose, they're okay because it's the
Speaker 2: Saints stank and the Falcons don't have a quarterback. By
Speaker 2: the way, real quick, Dusty from the TV show Our
Speaker 2: Most Loyal What's Right viewer sends this along to us.
Speaker 2: Drew Knicks players when guarded by Drew Holliday last night,
Speaker 2: four of twenty three, Julius Randall was one of thirty
Speaker 2: at well, no, but I'm talking about Randall Randall. This
Speaker 2: is just when guarded by Drew, Julius was one of ten.
Speaker 2: Jalen was zero for four. RJ. Barrett was one for four.
Speaker 2: The team as a whole was four of twenty three.
Speaker 2: So Drew Holliday box score wise didn't do much, but
Speaker 2: as far as impact on the game, being the best
Speaker 2: perimeter defender in the league, he did. He stepped up
Speaker 2: huge in their first game.
Speaker 3: All right, next, thanks Dusty. Uh So, the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers are at a really sticky situation right now. They're
Speaker 3: coming off of two straight losses and brock party is
Speaker 3: obviously hurt now, so Sam Donald's about to suit up again.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't you wouldn't air your party for cousins take
Speaker 3: on here. Uh but yeah, the forty nine ers are
Speaker 3: serious about winning Super Bowl? Is it time for them
Speaker 3: to look for another quarterback? Or so they stick this
Speaker 3: Sam Donald thing out? What should they do? It seems
Speaker 3: like they're always looking for the fast and cheap option.
Speaker 2: Okay, so a couple things. First of all, fair is fair.
Speaker 2: I should note that we now have real evidence Brock
Speaker 2: Party suffered. Did you see the play de moon day?
Speaker 2: They think Perty suffered his concussion?
Speaker 3: That is concussion. I have not seen it.
Speaker 2: It was there. It was the tush push that they tried.
Speaker 2: He just gets annihilated on.
Speaker 3: The toush somebody came straight as helmet.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean it's bad first, So like a maybe
Speaker 2: the NFL is gonna ban the toush push for actual
Speaker 2: health and safety reasons because no one can do it
Speaker 2: without getting players maimed, but the Eagles. But also listen,
Speaker 2: I fair is fair. He both of his interceptions demnse
Speaker 2: came after that play. So I you know, I have
Speaker 2: been very consistent on what I think of Party, and yes,
Speaker 2: his performance at the end of that game confirmed a
Speaker 2: lot of what I had been saying. But I've gotta
Speaker 2: be I you know, I've got a. With new information,
Speaker 2: you can have new opinions. My overall opinion of him
Speaker 2: doesn't change, but I give him a little more of
Speaker 2: a I don't want to say pass, but it's a
Speaker 2: little more understandable. But the concussions are also so weird
Speaker 2: in this regard. He showed no ill effects after the play,
Speaker 2: far as like stumbling anything. At the postgame press conference
Speaker 2: he seemed totally fine, and then symptoms on set on
Speaker 2: the flight home. So you know what, it's a week.
Speaker 2: I don't think understand concussions. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 2: understand concussion science at all. But so they are now
Speaker 2: gonna go to Sam Donald, and my guess is he's
Speaker 2: gonna look a lot like Party looks. He's gonna be
Speaker 2: guys are gonna run open, He's gonna be fine, and
Speaker 2: the Niners offense is gonna move like and folks, will
Speaker 2: I do wonder if that then happens, and listen, Donald
Speaker 2: is worse than Party. Donald is a bad player. So
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll look as good as they did
Speaker 2: with Purty, but I don't think it'll be this massive,
Speaker 2: massive drop off. And I do wonder if, folks, if
Speaker 2: Donald plays a good game and they win, or all
Speaker 2: of a sudden gonna be like Sam Donald must be good,
Speaker 2: or people might come around slightly to my line of thinking.
Speaker 2: Now I did say party for Cousins. Who says no,
Speaker 2: with the argument being Cousins can leave Minnesota this offseason
Speaker 2: and they get nothing back for him and they don't
Speaker 2: have a contingency plan or like an air apparent quarterback.
Speaker 2: Right now, their backup quarterback is a fifth round rookie
Speaker 2: Jalen Heron or I'm sorry, Jaren hall a Jalen Herron.
Speaker 2: I transposed his name Jaren Hall. So having Party with
Speaker 2: a couple of years left for free to have a
Speaker 2: look at him for the rest of this year might
Speaker 2: be interesting for them and for the Niners. I think
Speaker 2: they'd become the Super Bowl favorites because here's the reality
Speaker 2: of the Kyle Shanahan forty nine ers demonse. Thirty six
Speaker 2: times in his coaching career with the Niners they have
Speaker 2: trailed in the fourth quarter by eight or more. How
Speaker 2: many of those games do you think they've won? How
Speaker 2: many times did they have a legitimate fourth quarter comeback?
Speaker 2: That is, across all the quarterbacks he's had thirty six
Speaker 2: times they have trailed in the fourth quarter by eight
Speaker 2: or more, how many of those games have they won?
Speaker 4: Give it at zero one zero zero is crowded.
Speaker 2: So when your team is built around the idea of
Speaker 2: we can work around our quarterbacks limitations, when that hasn't
Speaker 2: worked through three quarters and you need to, you know,
Speaker 2: you need someone to go out there and make plays
Speaker 2: on their own. They're oh for thirty six and that happening.
Speaker 2: And if people are like, oh, well, Nick, what you
Speaker 2: know games if they're down four and then a team
Speaker 2: scores a touchdown late fourth quarter, of course they're not
Speaker 2: coming back. They're ozer for twenty six in games when
Speaker 2: headed into the fourth quarter, they're down more. So they
Speaker 2: just can't come back on people. And so they do
Speaker 2: need an upgrade at that spot. Cousins would do it,
Speaker 2: but I don't think the Vikings are trading him. All right,
Speaker 2: Let's go on to the Cowboys, all right.
Speaker 3: Jerry Zones said that he's not looking to initiate any trades,
Speaker 3: but he's open to them. They obviously need to improve
Speaker 3: in some areas. Even Michaeh. Parsons one of his podcasts,
Speaker 3: say that the Eagles are better than them. The Eagles
Speaker 3: already made a trade to kind of patch up their secondary.
Speaker 3: Is somebody who still has Dallas in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: and you how aggressive do you think they need to
Speaker 3: be with trading to make.
Speaker 2: All I would certain The first call I would make
Speaker 2: would be to Arizona for Hollywood Brown because Dallas clearly
Speaker 2: believed they needed a field stretching speed receiver and they
Speaker 2: thought they got it this offseason in Brandon Cooks. But
Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks has been a zero for them. A Hollywood
Speaker 2: Brown is a pending free agent, so you could probably
Speaker 2: get him cheaply from Arizona. I would make that call.
Speaker 2: If that doesn't happen, I would call the Giants. If
Speaker 2: the Giants lose to the Jets this Sunday and their
Speaker 2: season is dead, and the season is probably dead anyway,
Speaker 2: but if they lose this Sunday and it's officially dead,
Speaker 2: I'd call the Giants and say, hey, the Darren Waller
Speaker 2: acquisition has not worked out for you. Do you want
Speaker 2: to get out of that deal? And for us, I don't.
Speaker 2: Because the Cowboys let Dalton Schultz walk, they missed the
Speaker 2: tight end. They also let Zeke walk because they're like
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard can be our featured guy. Maybe Tony Pollard
Speaker 2: is better, just real quick, maybe is better with as
Speaker 2: a change of pace, I would call up the Giants
Speaker 2: and say, what's the price on Saquon? What's the price
Speaker 2: on Saquon as you know, ten week rental? And can
Speaker 2: we do something there? Those are the kind of moves
Speaker 2: around the edges I would think about. Go ahead, what
Speaker 2: were you gonna ask?
Speaker 3: Do you think that they would trade within the division?
Speaker 3: Maybe you want to do that.
Speaker 2: So listen, some teams don't do that. I think that
Speaker 2: is a dumb philosophy. In fact, I think it's you
Speaker 2: should go the opposite, which is, if you think you're
Speaker 2: getting the better end of a trade, you want it
Speaker 2: to be within your division because you are then putting,
Speaker 2: you know, one of your major counterparts at a disadvantage.
Speaker 2: And if the Cowboys are like, we're gonna borrow from
Speaker 2: the future for today, the Giants are not trying to
Speaker 2: trade for They're not trying to plan for the future.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. They're not trying to plan for today. They're
Speaker 2: trying to plan for the future. Listen, the Patriots traded
Speaker 2: Drew Bludsoe within the division. We saw the Vikings trade
Speaker 2: t J. Hockinson within the division. We trades within the
Speaker 2: division can happen. I understand that people, you know that
Speaker 2: it is unlikely. I don't think that should be a
Speaker 2: big piece of it. All right, go ahead, last one,
Speaker 2: speaking of the trade deadline.
Speaker 3: All right, So the NFL trade deadline is becoming like
Speaker 3: the NBA a lot, and how exciting it is and
Speaker 3: the big names like last year they had Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 3: Bradley Chubb, TJ. Hockinson, Calvin Ridley, Rokwan Smith, Big and
Speaker 3: your guy Tony all those guys removed. Put on your
Speaker 3: next do Damas hat and tell us what and fill
Speaker 3: out these categories with who you think will be buyers,
Speaker 3: which teams you think would be sellers, and who are
Speaker 3: the players that you think will be traded throughout this deadline?
Speaker 2: Okay, So any team right now that is sitting on
Speaker 2: two wins or fewer, So that's Green Bay, Tennessee, the Chargers,
Speaker 2: the Giants, the Bears, the Patriots, the Broncos, the Cardinals,
Speaker 2: the Panthers should be sellers. Now the Chargers will not
Speaker 2: be because everyone's gonna get fired there if they don't
Speaker 2: turn it around. I don't think the Packers will be.
Speaker 2: The Titans obviously already are I think the Giants should be.
Speaker 2: The Bears were sellers last year, so maybe they won't be. Patriots, Broncos, Cardinals,
Speaker 2: and Panthers I think should be as far as who
Speaker 2: should be buyers. I here, you gotta be careful with
Speaker 2: it and that you want to do it smartly. Philly
Speaker 2: has done it smartly in the past. The Chiefs have
Speaker 2: done it smartly. The Niners traded a lot for Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 2: It has worked out in that he's a great player.
Speaker 2: But you want to make sure you're not you're not
Speaker 2: hamstringing yourself, right. So I would think that Baltimore I
Speaker 2: brought up Saquon before Baltimore should call about Saquon. Their
Speaker 2: running backs are hurt, that team is in a Super
Speaker 2: Bowl contention mode. They have the equity to do it.
Speaker 2: If I were them, I Baltimore should call about Saquan
Speaker 2: Jacksonville should consider calling about Danil Hunter. He's been awesome
Speaker 2: for Minnesota. Minnesota is not going anywhere now. Maybe Minnesota,
Speaker 2: because they got that win and they have a soft schedule,
Speaker 2: they're not going to trade. I would call about Danil Hunter.
Speaker 2: If I were them, and then Cleveland should call people
Speaker 2: and see if maybe, just maybe they can include a
Speaker 2: draft pick and get someone to get take Deshaun Watson
Speaker 2: off their hands. But that's probably not gonna happen. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's probably an untradeable player. If Cleveland also should call
Speaker 2: and try to get Jacoby Brissett back, because at this point,
Speaker 2: nobody seems to know what's happening with Deshaun Watson other
Speaker 2: than the fact that he's injured. His coach doesn't understand it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't seem to understand it. He was cleared for
Speaker 2: YESTERDA or last week's game. They wouldn't put him back in.
Speaker 2: Jacoby right now is the backup quarterback in Washington. He's
Speaker 2: better than Sam Howell, but they're not playing him. I
Speaker 2: think Cleveland should try to bring Jacoby Brissette back and
Speaker 2: be a real playoff team this year. All Right, I
Speaker 2: feel really good about our bets this week. We've got
Speaker 2: some action on Thursday Night football. We've got some action
Speaker 2: on Sunday Night football. Demands is going to try to
Speaker 2: win a tease for the first time since before Labor Day.
Speaker 2: We do all that next. What's right.

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in. Put your questions or comments
Speaker 2: in the chat. We'll get to those. Let's go ahead
Speaker 2: and just show our picks from last week, because we
Speaker 2: had a couple terrible ones, yet despite that, we had
Speaker 2: a nice winning week. Jacksonville plus a point and a
Speaker 2: half at New Orleans. They went outright and really controlled
Speaker 2: that entire game. It was closed at the end, but
Speaker 2: it shouldn't have been. Vegas minus three at Chicago was
Speaker 2: a disastrous, terrible bet. I bet on Brian Hoyer. It
Speaker 2: was really terrible. I thought Tyson Bagent would give him
Speaker 2: the game instead. Josh McDaniels kicking field goals down eighteen.
Speaker 2: He's just so frustrating. Buffalo minus eight and a half
Speaker 2: at New England was an even worse bet. They lose outright,
Speaker 2: But Pittsburgh getting points at the Rams they went out right,
Speaker 2: Minnesota getting seven at San Francisco they win outright. So
Speaker 2: my three underdogs all one outright. Our season record is
Speaker 2: now a sustainable to a degree, sixteen and nineteen. Just
Speaker 2: need one four and one or better week to be
Speaker 2: at five hundred and as we head into the home stretch,
Speaker 2: which is just what we would hope to do. So
Speaker 2: to Monsay, let's go. I said we're gonna go fast today,
Speaker 2: and we did a forty minute dy block. Let's go
Speaker 2: quick on these. But I feel really good about all
Speaker 2: five of these picks. Go.
Speaker 3: First off, you've got Tampa Bay plus nine and a
Speaker 3: half at Buffalo.
Speaker 2: That's tonight's game. You don't like it, tell me.
Speaker 3: I think, I do. I do think that the Bills
Speaker 3: are gonna win the game. I think your thought process
Speaker 3: is roller coaster. Josh Allen, He's due to smoke Tampa
Speaker 3: Bay and show them who the Bills can be for
Speaker 3: a second.
Speaker 2: But no, that's Tampa. I have, Tampa, just the point
Speaker 2: you do have.
Speaker 3: That's my mistake.
Speaker 2: That's no I have. So it's just too many points.
Speaker 2: It's too many points on a on a short week
Speaker 2: Thursday night football. These Thursday night games are not well played,
Speaker 2: they're not blowouts. And the primetime games, all of these
Speaker 2: primetime Island games are going under which I understand this
Speaker 2: isn't a total bet, but it's that fact that there's
Speaker 2: not gonna be a blowout. The Bills have started so
Speaker 2: slowly as of late, and I just I do think
Speaker 2: Buffalo likely wins the game, but the Buffalo needs to
Speaker 2: just have a vanilla game plan get out of there
Speaker 2: with a win. I'm getting nine and a half points
Speaker 2: from a Bucks team that really just doesn't they don't
Speaker 2: get blown out like that. And so the two times
Speaker 2: this year that they've lost by multiple scores, they've still
Speaker 2: only allowed twenty five and twenty points, meaning so the
Speaker 2: Bucks defense this year has allowed seventy seventeen, twenty five, nine,
Speaker 2: twenty and thirteen. The two times this year they've lost,
Speaker 2: they would have not covered this spread. Where against the
Speaker 2: Lions and against the Eagles when their offense only scored
Speaker 2: eleven and six points, you know, respectively. But the problem
Speaker 2: there is the Buffalo defense is so banged up that
Speaker 2: Mac Jones was cooking them up, and so the Bucks,
Speaker 2: coming off two straight losses, kind of gave the game
Speaker 2: away against Atlanta. This is a big spot for them.
Speaker 2: I think they can keep it close. And home teams
Speaker 2: on Thursday Night Football are twenty and thirty two against
Speaker 2: the spread over the last three years. Josh Allen in
Speaker 2: his last five starts after facing the Patriots has yet
Speaker 2: to cover. I just it's too many points. Tampa can
Speaker 2: win outright, and they certainly can keep it close. I
Speaker 2: like Tampa plus the nine and a half.
Speaker 3: Next Jacksonville minus two and a half at Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So two of my favorite teams to bet on,
Speaker 2: the Jags and Mike Tomlin. And I understand Mike Tomlin
Speaker 2: at home getting points is a covering machine. I get that.
Speaker 2: I still think this line should be closer to Jacksonville
Speaker 2: minus four. I think this is a three point Jacksonville win.
Speaker 2: I think the public refuses to acknowledge that the Jags
Speaker 2: are a really good team. Flatly, the Jags in a
Speaker 2: calendar year have lost five games, one bad loss to
Speaker 2: the Texans a loss to the Lions and three losses
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs. Trevor Lawrence over that calendar year has
Speaker 2: been excellent. They have consistently outperformed Vegas' expectations, and they're
Speaker 2: on extended rest having played on Thursday Pittsburgh another hard
Speaker 2: fall victory this past week Jacksonville. This feels to me
Speaker 2: like a twenty to seventeen twenty one to seventeen Jacksonville win.
Speaker 2: I think Trevor's gonna play well. The Jags get to
Speaker 2: six and two. I like the Jags minus two and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 3: Okay, Owen's you don't like it? That one's yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean it's uh Tomlin. Tomlin covering and always covering as
Speaker 3: underdog is is what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Listen, Tomlin is an all time against the spread
Speaker 2: legend as a dog. I still like the Jags.
Speaker 3: Here next, you got Atlanta minus two and a half
Speaker 3: at Tennessee.
Speaker 2: All right, So this is an ugly terrible game, and
Speaker 2: I understand I'm laying points with Desmond Ritter on the road.
Speaker 2: I get that. Here is the counterpoint. The Titans are
Speaker 2: either playing Malik Willis, who is not an NFL player,
Speaker 2: or will Levis who despite them using a premium draft
Speaker 2: pick on him this year. Will Levis must have looked
Speaker 2: so bad at practice that he wasn't even the backup
Speaker 2: Malik Willis was. So I have seen Malik Willis play.
Speaker 2: He's awful, awful. Will Levis somehow, Is as up to
Speaker 2: this point has been worse than him. And so I
Speaker 2: think will Levis Is probably gonna start because they don't
Speaker 2: feel like they can start Malik Willis. Atlanta's defense has
Speaker 2: sneaky been really good this year. Obviously, their quarterback play
Speaker 2: has been killing them and he's been turning the ball over.
Speaker 2: But Atlanta this year has allowed the following points ten
Speaker 2: twenty four, twenty twenty three, nineteen, twenty four, thirteen. That
Speaker 2: sounds good, but not great. It is great when you
Speaker 2: include the fact that that team has been that defense
Speaker 2: has been consistently put on the field in negative positions
Speaker 2: thanks to the quarterback play. Tennessee is in a selloff
Speaker 2: that the players in that locker room this week are like,
Speaker 2: am I getting traded? Am I getting traded? Atlanta, meanwhile,
Speaker 2: just got their biggest win of the year. Atlanta wins
Speaker 2: this game on the road in Tennessee, and uh yeah,
Speaker 2: so that's where we're at on it.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Yeah, I remember what you what happened the
Speaker 3: last time you doubted a backup quarterback. This sounds a
Speaker 3: lot like beartt Raiders.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that is true. All right, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Oh you got Indiana plus one versus New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got the Cats getting a point against New Orleans.
Speaker 2: So here are some crazy facts. Derek Carr the worst
Speaker 2: quarterback this century against the spread as a favorite, The
Speaker 2: Colts the only team in the league to score at
Speaker 2: least twenty points in every game this year. Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 2: rounding back into form, the Colts feeling like they had
Speaker 2: a game stolen from them last week against the Browns
Speaker 2: thanks to the refs, Gardner Minshew playing well, and the Saints,
Speaker 2: on the other hand, coming apart at the seams. As
Speaker 2: Derek Carr screams at everyone, they realize that Dennis Allen
Speaker 2: is still Dennis Allen. He's twelve nineteen and one against
Speaker 2: the spread against teams under five hundred. I just think
Speaker 2: New Orleans is worse than the Colts, and I'm getting
Speaker 2: a point with the home team, So I'm doing that,
Speaker 2: all right. I am betting on three ugly games Atlanta, Tennessee, Indye,
Speaker 2: New Orleans, and then this one.
Speaker 3: Go ahead Chicago plus nine at the Chargers. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: one's just a sketchy bet, Like I don't that's a
Speaker 3: sketchy gay man.
Speaker 2: So I understand that it seems little flip floppy to
Speaker 2: go from saying pagent could be Nate Peterman to now
Speaker 2: betting on him. I understand that part of it. But
Speaker 2: in what world do the Chargers deserve to be nine
Speaker 2: point favorites over anyone? And what have the Chargers done
Speaker 2: to where you're like, yep, they should be a damn
Speaker 2: near double digit favorite. When is the last time I'm
Speaker 2: gonna look for it? When is the last the Charge? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it hasn't been this year the Chargers as far as
Speaker 2: winning by ten plus, like they did it at the
Speaker 2: very end of last year against the Rams when the
Speaker 2: Rams were you know, on to Baker as the quarterback
Speaker 2: and that season was over for them and the Chargers
Speaker 2: were playing for their playoff lives. Like this is purely
Speaker 2: a fading Brandon Staley and the Chargers entire organization bet.
Speaker 2: It's just too many points for a bad team that,
Speaker 2: by the way, is not gonna have home field advantage.
Speaker 2: I know I say it every week, but there's Bears
Speaker 2: fans everywhere. The Bears will have the home field advantage
Speaker 2: in this game. The Bears shockingly are averaging twenty eight
Speaker 2: points a game their last four games. And I just
Speaker 2: I the Chargers don't deserve to be nine point favorites
Speaker 2: over anybody. They flatly do not deserve it. I'm taking
Speaker 2: the points.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, all right? Do you have a summary for me?
Speaker 2: There's a summary in there.
Speaker 3: No. He is bet favorites against the two best coaches
Speaker 3: as home dogs, Tyson Badgean Gartner, Minshew and Baker Mayfield
Speaker 3: on a Thursday. That's what you're going on?
Speaker 2: How you go five? And oh, that's how you go five?
Speaker 2: And oh America? Yeah, Tampa plus nine and a half,
Speaker 2: Jacksonville minus two and a half, Atlanta minus two and
Speaker 2: a half, In plus one, and Chicago plus nine. The
Speaker 2: Bills on a short week should not be nine and
Speaker 2: a half point favorites. The Chargers, under any circumstances should
Speaker 2: not be nine point favorites. The Jags are gonna win
Speaker 2: by a field goal, The Colts are gonna win out right,
Speaker 2: and Tennessee's gonna have four turnovers out of the quarterback position.
Speaker 2: That's a five and oh week demonse. You know what,
Speaker 2: I'm locking in the parlay right now, a nice ten
Speaker 2: to one right now, lock in the arms. Wait is
Speaker 2: it ten to one? No, that's a four teamer. That's
Speaker 2: twenty five to one. My bad, five and oh week.
Speaker 2: We're hitting a five and oh week. Speaking of things
Speaker 2: that are unlikely to happen, demanse winning a teaser demonse
Speaker 2: Last week, I talked you out of a good leg
Speaker 2: of your teaser, but luckily your teaser was dead immediately
Speaker 2: thanks to you not believing in Lamar Jackson, and so
Speaker 2: you ended up. So you have now lost five teasers
Speaker 2: in a row. You're one in six on the year.
Speaker 2: So what are you gonna do here? Talk to me.
Speaker 3: We're simplifying things. If you guys want to recap, I
Speaker 3: had Detroit versus Baltimore plus thirteen. Yeah, we're let's just
Speaker 3: actually just want to skip straight to the teaser. We're
Speaker 3: gonna get to business exactly.
Speaker 2: We don't need to recap, right, don't. This week?
Speaker 3: Week AD's teaser is a three team eight and a
Speaker 3: half point teaser.
Speaker 2: Half point teaser. I didn't even know exist. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 2: go ahead.
Speaker 3: So we're teasing Miami down No. Minus one versus New England.
Speaker 3: First off, man, I don't think this last week was
Speaker 3: the revival of the uh of the Patriots. I think
Speaker 3: they're gonna bring him back down to speed. Miami definitely,
Speaker 3: just I mean, they don't have a choice but to
Speaker 3: win that game. And then you got Minnesota plus plus
Speaker 3: seven at green Bay. That's another game that I just
Speaker 3: think Minnesota is gonna beat green Bay. Uh. And then
Speaker 3: you got the Rams plus fifteen at Dallas, and I
Speaker 3: think the Rams are more than capable of hanging around
Speaker 3: with the Cowboys. So it was so, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: I see that it's minus one ten. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: try to talk you out anything here, and I'm rooting
Speaker 2: for you. The leg of it that concerns me a
Speaker 2: bit is the Rams, only because the Cowboys have shown
Speaker 2: the ability against teams with week offensive lines to really
Speaker 2: turn it into a blowout. If I were going to
Speaker 2: participate in this eight and a half point teaser, I
Speaker 2: personally would probably remove the Rams and just put the
Speaker 2: Chiefs down to a pick them against Denver, which seems
Speaker 2: like a game the Chiefs can't lose, but I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna try to impact you. I give this teaser grade
Speaker 2: an A for effort because I didn't even know you
Speaker 2: could do an eight and a half point teaser. I
Speaker 2: didn't even know that was a thing. I've been gamming
Speaker 2: them my whole life. I've never heard of it. I've
Speaker 2: heard of six, seven, ten, and the rare thirteen point teezer.
Speaker 2: I didn't know these eight and a half pointers existed.
Speaker 2: These new the online gambling, you can just pick whatever
Speaker 2: amount you want.
Speaker 3: I suppose they let you do like any point up
Speaker 3: to like fourteen and every half day in between.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably a reason for that. All right, what's
Speaker 2: the offer this week?
Speaker 3: Uh? The offer this week? The producers are betting against us.
Speaker 3: So if well, if we fail to combine for five
Speaker 3: of six on our picks, we need to wear costumes
Speaker 3: on Tuesday show for Halloween.
Speaker 2: Uh no, I turn, If I turn, I don't even
Speaker 2: need to know. I'm not wearing costumes. I'm not. I'm
Speaker 2: damn near forty years old. I'm not wearing costumes. And
Speaker 2: here's what people don't understand about the whole, like the whole, Like, oh,
Speaker 2: do your live television show in costumes. What happens if
Speaker 2: there's breaking news of a tragic sort, I'm dressed up
Speaker 2: like Dracula, and I have to be like in sad
Speaker 2: news such and such as passed away, like what are
Speaker 2: you talking about? I'm not doing a live television or
Speaker 2: YouTube show dressed in character when the the upside is
Speaker 2: so small. Well, you know what, let him do it now,
Speaker 2: I will tell you this. With all that said, I'm
Speaker 2: a bit of a I'm a bit of a hypocrite
Speaker 2: because Wilds and I did have an idea last year
Speaker 2: on Halloween that we were gonna tell Brew we were
Speaker 2: doing costumes and get the reason I had Dracula in
Speaker 2: my head was and we were gonna do a whole
Speaker 2: thing where like Brew is a vampire with the fangs
Speaker 2: and the makeup and everything. But then Wilds and I
Speaker 2: come out in our regular outfits and we just that
Speaker 2: wild and I are just dressed in suits, and who
Speaker 2: was dressed like Dracula. But even that, if that were
Speaker 2: to happen and there's the breaking news thing, I said,
Speaker 2: then all you just you just Wilds and I handle it,
Speaker 2: and Brew goes and gets changed. All right, quick break
Speaker 2: answer your questions and the Chat next. What's right? All right,
Speaker 2: welcome back in demonse. Let's answer a few of these
Speaker 2: chat questions before we go go ahead from Michael White Pollard.
Speaker 3: Michael Pollard asked, well, Baltimore lose this weekend since they
Speaker 3: are the team of the week. No, they're not.
Speaker 2: Well, Listen, here's the so they are. Not only are
Speaker 2: they the IT team, they are, they are at the Cardinals,
Speaker 2: who are the opposite of the it team they are.
Speaker 2: This is the highest riser and the forest faller furthest
Speaker 2: faller on kind of you know and such. Well, the
Speaker 2: Cardinals know they started the year off, people think they're
Speaker 2: worst than the league, but then they were competitive the
Speaker 2: first few weeks. They beat Dallas. But now they've kind
Speaker 2: of you gone into who we thought they were gonna be. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a stay away game for me. I'm not teasing
Speaker 2: that game. I'm not betting that game. Every single week,
Speaker 2: the hot team is lost every single week. Like I've
Speaker 2: talked about, Baltimore definitely qualifies this week. The problem is
Speaker 2: the Chiefs kind of do too so so and they're
Speaker 2: both eight and a half point road favorites against teams
Speaker 2: that are dead in the water.
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Casper Gaming, says Nick. If Sam Donald
Speaker 3: beats the Bengals on Sunday, are we gonna see him
Speaker 3: make his Mahomes Mountain debut potentially?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Mac Jones made the Mountain for one
Speaker 2: good game. Why couldn't Sam Donald?
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Mohammed Musa said on TV, you mentioned
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis for EMBIID. Does it concern you that embiide
Speaker 3: has never had a playoff run as good as twenty
Speaker 3: twenty Anthony Davis or even twenty twenty three Anthony Davis.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, of course that concerns you. It's the biggest
Speaker 2: question mark about Embid's career. But I just I do
Speaker 2: think that Ad is not likely to get back to
Speaker 2: the level we saw him get at his first year
Speaker 2: with the Lakers. And I do wonder if you know
Speaker 2: EMBIID could get the play with Lebron bump that Ad got,
Speaker 2: at least temporarily. And I wonder if the Lakers right
Speaker 2: now feel like we have the second best team in
Speaker 2: the West. But what does it matter because we can't
Speaker 2: beat the best team in the West. We cannot beat
Speaker 2: the Nuggets without a major change, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, Jay Roaming questioned Jay roaming is a question does
Speaker 3: Ers Does a Chargers loss on Sunday Night result in
Speaker 3: the mid season firing of Staley.
Speaker 2: It's not really the Chargers style, but I mean he's
Speaker 2: got to be getting close. Man. You played Travis Kelsey
Speaker 2: twice a year. Your game plan every week is to
Speaker 2: every time you playim is to not guard him. If
Speaker 2: you lose to the Bears, something's gotta change, all right.
Speaker 3: Last one, Zach Anderson asked what brand is Nick sweater from?
Speaker 3: I don't care if I can't afford it, great crew neck.
Speaker 2: Oh I you can. It's Scotch and Soda. A lot
Speaker 2: of the stuff I wear is Scotch and Soda. By
Speaker 2: the way, if anyone from Scotch and SODA's out there watching,
Speaker 2: I went to the actual scott the original Scotch and
Speaker 2: Soda is in Amsterdam. When I was there, loved the
Speaker 2: company where a lot of their stuff feel like there
Speaker 2: could be a great little synergy brand thing here. And
Speaker 2: this like like a lot of Scotch and Soda stuff.
Speaker 2: This is not that expensive. My guess is you can
Speaker 2: afford it. I don't know it was. And now I'm
Speaker 2: gonna sound like a jerk. I don't I honestly don't
Speaker 2: know what is and isn't expensive for clothes because I
Speaker 2: don't buy my clothes. My wife does. But no, I
Speaker 2: mean I think I I mean, it is expensive adjacent.
Speaker 2: I think this was probably around one hundred bucks, So
Speaker 2: like that's a that's an expensive sweat. But it's but
Speaker 2: you know what it's like, Uh yeah, it's I don't
Speaker 2: think it's for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: What'd you say, it's not Mike and Marry or nothing,
Speaker 3: like you know, our money exchange or whatever you want
Speaker 3: to call it.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, no, HARMANI exchange is the I mean, it's
Speaker 2: cheaper than OURMANI. It's like there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like Jordan's versus Jordan's brand.
Speaker 3: If that exactly you know what I mean.
