Speaker 2: a ton to do today On today's show, demand is here.
Speaker 2: He's a little under the weather. We'll see if he
Speaker 2: rallies throughout the show. If not, it's understandable a little
Speaker 2: the dealing with a little bit of a head gold,
Speaker 2: but made it in and with no problems whatsoever. I
Speaker 2: can't see him right now, but we can maybe see
Speaker 2: him in a moment because a major development for demanse
Speaker 2: if he's on camera right now, which I think he is. Demonsey.
Speaker 2: When's the last time you were totally clean shaven? I
Speaker 2: can't remember it.
Speaker 3: I actually had a memory pop up on my snapchat
Speaker 3: about a year ago today. I had everything shaved off
Speaker 3: right here, not the not my lip as well.
Speaker 2: But it's yeah, this very long time, I think you
Speaker 2: have kept the the the I hope listen, we'll get
Speaker 2: to sports in just a moment. I'm not trying to
Speaker 2: embarrass you here. I don't think you have the type
Speaker 2: of facial hair where you could grow a full beard,
Speaker 2: like if you wanted to. I don't think it would
Speaker 2: come in. Am I right?
Speaker 3: I had like a little Hulk Hogan thing starting to connect,
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, exactly, But.
Speaker 2: You couldn't like grow a full beard. I think because
Speaker 2: of that, since you were fifteen, since you first were
Speaker 2: able to grow any hair on your list, you've kept it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've kept it.
Speaker 2: And now I'm looking at you. I can't remember me.
Speaker 2: I cannot. I've seen you when you shave your chin.
Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time, you didn't have the
Speaker 2: little mustache or anything, so demanday a little under the weather,
Speaker 2: maybe his body negatively reacting to not having the extra
Speaker 2: protection of the facial air. We're not sure a ton
Speaker 2: to do today. Talking week two in the NFL, Let's
Speaker 2: first get to what missed the cut. What missed the
Speaker 2: cut is coach Prime and Colorado moving to three and zero.
Speaker 2: We will talk talk more about them on Thursday. The
Speaker 2: next two weeks are massive and it is a damn
Speaker 2: shame Travis Hunter is not going to be able to
Speaker 2: play because this weekend they play Oregon and the next
Speaker 2: weekend potentially the game of the year in college football
Speaker 2: Sharro Sanders and Colorado against Caleb Williams and USC That
Speaker 2: is a potential all time game from a viewership perspective.
Speaker 2: I hate that Travis Hunter is not going to be
Speaker 2: able to play, all right. Also, not on today's show,
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill says Pats fans are some of the worst
Speaker 2: confirmed I work with one, but not for the reasons
Speaker 2: that Tyreek was saying, they're the worst Wilds. It is
Speaker 2: just the worst for his own reasons. And Jason Kelce okay, sorry,
Speaker 2: hold on, oh, Iron Eagle says Travis Kelcey finds blank
Speaker 2: space for TD. I did not get this reference at all,
Speaker 2: but I was at actually watching the football games with
Speaker 2: Mike Ryan, the Ace executive producer from Lebotard Show and
Speaker 2: Metal Arc Media. He informed me that was a Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift reference that I didn't quite get. So that's what
Speaker 2: missed the cut. We will get to the Prince versus
Speaker 2: the King and the Chiefs in just a moment. But
Speaker 2: there were two games last night, Demonse, so let's start there.
Speaker 3: Yes, there was a Monday night football double header last night.
Speaker 3: Saints Panthers probably win as everybody would expect, but the
Speaker 3: Steelers Browns game had a ton of storylines. We got
Speaker 3: Nick Chubb getting hurt, Deshaun still looks really bad, and
Speaker 3: the Steelers have no offense and still won the game.
Speaker 4: What's the biggest story of last night?
Speaker 2: All right, So the biggest story, well, I don't even
Speaker 2: know if it's the biggest, but it's the one that
Speaker 2: I feel like it's poor form if we don't acknowledge
Speaker 2: start with what happened to Nick Chubb is brutal. Listen,
Speaker 2: that's an old school AFC North game that the Steelers
Speaker 2: Browns and Steelers Bengals and Steelers Ravens have played for
Speaker 2: years where it is hard hitting. Guys are getting banged
Speaker 2: up left and right. But even by those standards, the
Speaker 2: MINCA hit on Chubb was really unfortunate. I do not
Speaker 2: think Minka Fitzpatrick is a dirty player. It was an
Speaker 2: unfortunate place for him to hit him right on the knee.
Speaker 2: But he can't go high. He's flying in and Chubb,
Speaker 2: who had a full knee blowout eight years ago in college,
Speaker 2: now it looks like suffered another one. There. Obviously, today
Speaker 2: is going to be a lot of discussion about you know,
Speaker 2: Chubb's one of the few running backs who got the
Speaker 2: second contract who was making real money. He is on
Speaker 2: a three year, thirty six million dollar deal and now
Speaker 2: he's injured. What does that mean for the running back market?
Speaker 2: There obviously was the odd story this week that the
Speaker 2: NFL is filing a grievance against the Players Association for
Speaker 2: advising running backs to fake injuries in order to up
Speaker 2: their leverage. That is a story that is potentially incredibly
Speaker 2: interesting to really dive into. I am not going to
Speaker 2: fully dive into it today because I feel like we
Speaker 2: are missing massive pieces of information of that from that,
Speaker 2: and I feel like this was the fact that the
Speaker 2: story leaked the way it did leads me to believe
Speaker 2: this is NFL management leaking it because they're trying to
Speaker 2: kind of change the narrative on our running backs getting screwed.
Speaker 2: And so I'm gonna hold off fully commenting on that
Speaker 2: at least for the time being. But unfortunately, the cold
Speaker 2: reality is the Nick Chubb injury. It's not like, oh,
Speaker 2: now the Browns are gonna stink and people are gonna
Speaker 2: which they very well may, and we'll discuss it. People
Speaker 2: are gonna say, oh, Chubb's valuable. Running backs are valuable.
Speaker 2: That's not what's gonna happen. What's gonna happen is people
Speaker 2: are gonna say, even if you have Nick Chubb at
Speaker 2: that position so brutal, so violent, you're more likely to
Speaker 2: get injured there than any other spot on the field.
Speaker 2: It's hard to pay these guys a ton of money.
Speaker 2: I understand why people are empathetic. I've talked a lot
Speaker 2: about where I think this ultimately goes. That once there
Speaker 2: is no longer a surplus of very competent running backs
Speaker 2: or highly qualified running backs, the market will correct itself,
Speaker 2: but so in the macro. This was a bad day
Speaker 2: for running backs being paid in the micro. You feel
Speaker 2: sick for Nick Chubb amazingly though, the Browns' best offensive
Speaker 2: player being lost to the season and maybe longer with
Speaker 2: an injury was not the worst thing from last night.
Speaker 2: The worst thing for the Browns, that is, from last
Speaker 2: night was the further confirmation that the Cleveland Browns made
Speaker 2: one of, if not the worst trade plus contract in
Speaker 2: NFL history DeShawn They still owe still another first round
Speaker 2: pick for Deshaun Watson to the Houston Texans this coming year.
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson yesterday was playing a team whose offense had
Speaker 2: negative seven to fourth quarteryards and DeShawn was the worst
Speaker 2: quarterback on the field. Deshaun Yesterday pushed an official and
Speaker 2: didn't get thrown out. Shockingly, got two face mask penalties
Speaker 2: as a quarterback, which I maybe that's I know Josh
Speaker 2: Allen got a face mask penalty a few years. I
Speaker 2: don't know the last time some quarterback got two could
Speaker 2: make no plays, seemed incredibly frustrated the face mask penalties.
Speaker 2: Seemed like he was almost lashing out at the fact
Speaker 2: that he couldn't escape the way he used to, and
Speaker 2: the Browns have no recourse here what Deshaun Watson has
Speaker 2: left on his deal again the fully guaranteed four year
Speaker 2: or was it it was five years two thirty and
Speaker 2: I'll give you the exact details on it. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: he is uncuttable, one of the only uncuttable players in
Speaker 2: the entire league. Five year, two thirty. Pardon me so.
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson is next year a salary of with each
Speaker 2: of the next three years after this year a salary
Speaker 2: of forty six million, fully guaranteed, with a pro rated
Speaker 2: signing bonus of eighteen million each year. His cap number
Speaker 2: after this year for the next three years is sixty
Speaker 2: four million in twenty twenty four, sixty four million in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, sixty four million in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 2: and it is fully guaranteed. Meaning if the Browns were
Speaker 2: to be like ah, after this year we want to
Speaker 2: cut him, the dead cap would be two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: The whole salary CAP's like two forty not possible. If
Speaker 2: after next year they wanted to cut him, it's one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five million. If after the following year
Speaker 2: they wanted to cut him, it's seventy three million. He's
Speaker 2: an uncuttable player, and he's terrible. This is what the
Speaker 2: and that is correct. That is correct. When you trade
Speaker 2: three first round picks and give a fully guaranteed contract
Speaker 2: to anybody, you are risking the franchise. When you do
Speaker 2: it for a guy who has been incredibly accused by
Speaker 2: nearly two dozen people of sexual misconduct, you are just
Speaker 2: continuing your legacy as the Cleveland Browns of being one
Speaker 2: of the worst franchises in sports history, in modern sports history.
Speaker 2: And I'll go a step further. It's a little extra
Speaker 2: salt in the wound right now, demanse the way Baker's playing.
Speaker 2: They spent the number one pick on Baker. When Baker
Speaker 2: took the field, demanse for the first time. The Browns
Speaker 2: had lost third four of their previous thirty five games.
Speaker 2: When Baker took the field the first time, they had
Speaker 2: won once in their previous thirty five games. By his
Speaker 2: second year, they were an eleven win team and in
Speaker 2: the postseason and won a playoff game. He then had
Speaker 2: a bad year when he had an injured throwing arm
Speaker 2: and they threw him away and it looked like they
Speaker 2: were maybe validated by it when last year he was brutal,
Speaker 2: but now he's two to zero, is leading the league
Speaker 2: in passer rating on third downs, that has led two comebacks,
Speaker 2: and Deshaun looks absolutely brutal. So that to me is
Speaker 2: the biggest story of last night.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, a little follow up here with Joe Burrow
Speaker 3: hurt and since he zero to two, are my Ravens
Speaker 3: the clear favorites in the AFC North. Now, like I
Speaker 3: was kind of preaching a couple weeks ago, honestly.
Speaker 2: Right now, they look like it right now. So here, listen,
Speaker 2: the Browns are a cross off. The Browns are cooked.
Speaker 2: They have suffered now that the defense was looking great,
Speaker 2: they've suffered injuries.
Speaker 4: There they're right.
Speaker 2: Tackle's done, the nick jobb is done, Deshaun's done. The
Speaker 2: Browns are a cross off. The Steelers were my pick
Speaker 2: if you remember, to win the division. Kenny Pickett has
Speaker 2: been awful. They again, they had a fourth quarter comeback
Speaker 2: yesterday and in the fourth quarter they had negative seven
Speaker 2: offensive yards. Never see anything like it. They needed two
Speaker 2: defensive touchdowns to escape with a victory. Now, Picket, I
Speaker 2: think we'll get a little better. The Steelers probably should
Speaker 2: and will fire the offensive coordinator at some point, but
Speaker 2: the Steelers needed Pickett to get a lot better in order.
Speaker 2: The defense is great, there's no denying it. Tomlin's great.
Speaker 2: But can this Steelers win team? Can this steel team
Speaker 2: win more than ten games?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 2: I mean ten games will be hell of an accomplishment.
Speaker 2: More than ten's going to be hard. And then you
Speaker 2: get to Cincinnati that listen. Correlation causation, I don't know.
Speaker 2: But here's what I do know. The Cincinnati Bengals were
Speaker 2: the hottest team in the NFL. The Cincinnati Bengals last year,
Speaker 2: after starting four and four, had won ten consecutive games,
Speaker 2: including a beatdown of the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo in
Speaker 2: the divisional round. And then what happened to Monday? Then
Speaker 2: what happened.
Speaker 4: Before the Chiefs gamemes? Oh?
Speaker 2: No, actually, right as the Buffalo game was ending, what
Speaker 2: did we start hearing? Headed to Ahead stadium? Oh? I
Speaker 2: haven't won a game? Uh, since the word burrowhead has
Speaker 2: been uttered, here's how it's gone for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 2: They haven't won a game. Joe Burrow, no faulty. Listen,
Speaker 2: he wasn't buying into the burrow and stuff but those
Speaker 2: sports gods, can you strike lightning bolts anywhere? That calf
Speaker 2: hasn't been right. They've looked terrible and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you were following it. And by
Speaker 2: the way, Gambling Show Thursday, Demanse's teaser was a straight winner.
Speaker 2: I also had a winning week. Good job by us
Speaker 2: on Thursday. But I don't know if you've been looking
Speaker 2: at the lines already, Demanse. Cincinnati was a six and
Speaker 2: a half point Monday Night favorite against the Rams. They
Speaker 2: are now a two point favorite. Why would the line
Speaker 2: move four and a half points because Vegas thinks Burrow's
Speaker 2: not gonna play. If he doesn't play, they can lose
Speaker 2: that game. You lose to the Rams to go to
Speaker 2: zero to three when you have here's what Cincinnati still
Speaker 2: has left on the skins?
Speaker 3: Are I know.
Speaker 2: I'm agreeing, Yeah, I mean, I'm the listen the Rams.
Speaker 2: I don't think the Rams have enough overall talent in
Speaker 2: order to continue this deep into the year, but they've
Speaker 2: overachieved up to this point, winning in Week one and
Speaker 2: then being semi competitive with the Niners. You give them credit.
Speaker 2: MC Basemen great, but here's here's the point. That I'm
Speaker 2: making for the Bengals. You fall to the Rams at
Speaker 2: oh and three. The next week you're at Tennessee. It's
Speaker 2: not a good team, but a great coach. But even
Speaker 2: if you win that, you still have games remaining Seattle
Speaker 2: at San Francisco, Buffalo at Jacksonville at Kansas City, and
Speaker 2: all four and four more divisional games. When you're zero
Speaker 2: and two already in the division. It year from hell
Speaker 2: on deck for the Bengals. So that then gets me
Speaker 2: to your Ravens, who while I was unimpressed in Week
Speaker 2: one and worried about them from an injury standpoint, week two,
Speaker 2: Lamar was sensational this new passing offense. He took to
Speaker 2: it Zay Flowers. Uh looks like one of the best,
Speaker 2: you know, best offensive players in the draft. And there
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some trepidation on how sustainable it is
Speaker 2: and some concern about Lamar's ability to stay healthy late
Speaker 2: in the year because for back to back years he's
Speaker 2: been hurt. But right now, I wonder what the odds are.
Speaker 2: Right now, the Ravens have to be considered sizable favorites
Speaker 2: in the AFC North. The Ravens this week, Uh, let
Speaker 2: me just go ahead, and look, I apologize.
Speaker 4: I think there's eight point eight or eight and a
Speaker 4: half maybe, Oh that that.
Speaker 2: Sounds right, But I meant sizable favorites to win the
Speaker 2: AFC North. Oh yeah, Now, the Ravens are minus one
Speaker 2: ten to win the AFC North Cleveland, so it's basically
Speaker 2: eving money. Cleveland is plus three sixty since he is
Speaker 2: plus four forty, and the Steelers are plus five hundred.
Speaker 2: So that is the only two teams that are bigger
Speaker 2: favorites to win their division right now than Baltimore are
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and the Niners. So pretty good company. And
Speaker 2: again I'm not gonna fully buy in yet, but through
Speaker 2: two weeks you should feel pretty good. All right, Let's
Speaker 2: move on. Let's go to the next topic.
Speaker 3: All right, So the King pulled out a win over
Speaker 3: the Prince, and Mahomes also got a new deal. He
Speaker 3: is now the highest paid quarterback in the NFL, I believe.
Speaker 3: Could you explain the deal? Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Could you explain what the deal actually and give us
Speaker 3: your thoughts on it, and also give us your thoughts
Speaker 3: on your two favorite quarterbacks combining for am easily twenty
Speaker 3: six points.
Speaker 2: Okay, So the Mahomes deal. What everyone needs to understand
Speaker 2: is this. They did not add years, They did not
Speaker 2: add money. So what does it mean he got a
Speaker 2: new deal. They just accelerated when he gets the money. Well,
Speaker 2: it was the thing was this Mahomes' deal. Know what,
Speaker 2: Everyone got the Mahomes deal wrong from the beginning. As
Speaker 2: far as they're like, oh, he only had X amount
Speaker 2: of million guaranteed. People didn't understand that Mahomes' deal had
Speaker 2: these rolling guarantees which made it almost a facto fully guaranteed.
Speaker 2: So Mahomes it wasn't fully guaranteed as far as like
Speaker 2: if he got hit by a truck and couldn't play
Speaker 2: football again, then they could get out of it. But
Speaker 2: assuming he was always playing. Here's the reason was. The
Speaker 2: way it worked was in every March, his money for
Speaker 2: two seasons later became guaranteed. So like in March, in
Speaker 2: this this past March of twenty twenty three, his salary
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty four became guaranteed. So because of that,
Speaker 2: every year, his upcoming year's salary was guaranteed eighteen months
Speaker 2: before it started, essentially, And so what they did here
Speaker 2: was they moved up a bunch of the money on
Speaker 2: the back end to these next four years. What they
Speaker 2: didn't do, though, was changed the fact that he signed
Speaker 2: a ten year contract that was worth four hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars. And so this does not hurt the
Speaker 2: Chiefs cap wise any short term or long term. Now
Speaker 2: in four years, they are poised to have to rip
Speaker 2: the contract up and in which case that could hurt
Speaker 2: them cap wise. But I think what both parties are
Speaker 2: doing here, and I think it's smart, is Mahomes is
Speaker 2: getting more money up front so people can't say anymore
Speaker 2: as the eighth highest paid quarterback. Mahomes also now gets
Speaker 2: to see over the next four years, all right, are
Speaker 2: you guys gonna consistently spin to the cap? Are you
Speaker 2: gonna make sure that I'm surrounded by all this talent
Speaker 2: around me? And then in four years, let me see,
Speaker 2: have we won a couple more Super Bowls? And my
Speaker 2: number one goal is have a real chance of catching Brady,
Speaker 2: in which case maybe I don't ask for a raise,
Speaker 2: or has Andy Reid retired and things haven't gone the
Speaker 2: way we hoped, and you know, we're just a good
Speaker 2: not a great team, in which case pay me my money.
Speaker 2: So that's the the contract stuff. That's what happened. But
Speaker 2: the key information is no new dollars, no new year's
Speaker 2: so he's still on the ten year, four hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty million dollar contract. Now to the Chiefs and Jacks,
Speaker 2: it should be noted that the Jacksonville Jaguars in their
Speaker 2: last nine games are seven to zero against everyone butt
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, and oh and two against the Chiefs. In
Speaker 2: their last thirteen games, they're nine to one against everyone,
Speaker 2: butt the Chiefs, and owen three against the Chiefs. It
Speaker 2: is not an exaggeration to say that maybe the Prince
Speaker 2: gets a little nervous when he sees the King. I
Speaker 2: would imagine, you know, if and when Bronni James makes
Speaker 2: the NBA his first game against his you know, Lebron,
Speaker 2: he might be a little shaky these you know. The
Speaker 2: demonse maybe could speak to this better than I can,
Speaker 2: but I would imagine that there's, you know, there's sometimes
Speaker 2: some nerves when the prince is up against the King.
Speaker 2: I think that could be the case here now. Trevor
Speaker 2: didn't play great in Week two, and the Chiefs offense
Speaker 2: right now looks shaky. But here's why I feel better
Speaker 2: about this gosh darn it, I can never show it
Speaker 2: on camera right this tattoo than yeah, than ever before.
Speaker 2: Even though they're not gonna go twenty in h the
Speaker 2: Chiefs might have a great defense. Never seen that, not
Speaker 2: with Mahomes that defense. How's Detroit's offense? They scored thirty
Speaker 2: one on Seattle. How'd they do against Kent City? Two touchdowns?
Speaker 2: How's Jacksonville's offense? They scored thirty one on Indy? They
Speaker 2: scored zero touchdowns on case Chiefs evens has allowed two
Speaker 2: touchdowns all year. That Chris Jones training camp, Who the
Speaker 2: hell needs it? The young players they drafted over the
Speaker 2: last few years are impact guys. And right now, if
Speaker 2: you listen to the national NFL commentary, demons, what do
Speaker 2: you know what people's biggest concern with the Chiefs is
Speaker 2: right now? Out to take me out of it? Right now?
Speaker 2: What people are like, Oh, this has looked shaky from
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Do you know what it is?
Speaker 3: Well, given the context, I'm assuming it's the defense that
Speaker 3: they say that there's nobles with.
Speaker 2: No What they're saying look shaky is the passing game?
Speaker 2: You know what? I think they're gonna be okay if
Speaker 2: the biggest concern is the Chiefs passing game. I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna be just fine. I mean, this is what
Speaker 2: a delight, what a wonderful spot. We're two weeks in.
Speaker 2: They're like, well, the defense looks awesome and they've played
Speaker 2: really tough competition the Lions and Jags. But what shaky
Speaker 2: is throwing the football. You know what. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: ahead and say they're gonna figure it out. And then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know what we're hearing, Oh
Speaker 2: my goodness, I don't know if they can win with
Speaker 2: these receivers. The same deceivers moment last year, everyone's like,
Speaker 2: oh they miss the and again, God love him, made
Speaker 2: some great plays for us, you know, cheap forever. People
Speaker 2: are like, oh, they missed Mikole Hardman. Well, you know
Speaker 2: who also misses Mikole Hardman His current team, the Jets,
Speaker 2: where he has one catch for six yards. I don't
Speaker 2: think he's been the difference. They're like, oh, they miss Juju? Really,
Speaker 2: you know why they misses Juju? His current team, the Patriots,
Speaker 2: with his nine catches for sixty one yards. Give me
Speaker 2: a break, Give me a break. They're gonna be just
Speaker 2: fine and Mahomes because he's a great teammate. Do you
Speaker 2: see who he went to three times in the first quarters.
Speaker 3: Tony, Yeah, no, I did.
Speaker 4: I did notice that.
Speaker 2: I'm not freezing you out. I'm throwing you the ball.
Speaker 2: Five targets, five catches you and.
Speaker 3: He did, and he even yeah, I was about to say,
Speaker 3: and he even made a mistake pretty early on there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the and sky Moore caught a touchdown, his
Speaker 2: first regular season touchdown after he had a big drop.
Speaker 3: So, I honestly wasn't a huge fan at the time.
Speaker 3: I'm glad the Chiefs got the dub, but that was
Speaker 3: not exactly conducive to my teaser.
Speaker 2: Oh what did you have on the teaser on that one?
Speaker 4: It was plus ten and a half versus the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that was was It was.
Speaker 4: Just way too close for like the last like eight
Speaker 4: minutes of the game. Yep.
Speaker 2: Oh did you freak out when on the when the
Speaker 2: Chiefs were running out the clock. Yeah, and then Mahomes
Speaker 2: is scrambling around and sky Moore breaks free wide open.
Speaker 2: It looks like he's going for a touchdown.
Speaker 4: Did you see that playing it over to the left, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I believe.
Speaker 2: So, Yes, Yeah, it looked and then they took knees
Speaker 2: after that, but it looked like he was going duh.
Speaker 4: It was glorious. I was the last.
Speaker 2: Time you had a big teaser involving the Jags. It
Speaker 2: didn't end great.
Speaker 4: That was the I mean, it was really it was
Speaker 4: the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but the jack side of it, all right,
Speaker 2: Speaking of the.
Speaker 3: Cowboys, Cowboys, the Cowboys have hung seventy while only allowing
Speaker 3: ten points in two games. You already know you thought
Speaker 3: that they were making the super Bowl at the beginning
Speaker 3: of the season, yep, But the offense did have to
Speaker 3: settle for three red zone field goals, and the Eagles
Speaker 3: and forty nine ers look unstoppable. Obviously, have you seen
Speaker 3: enough from dak to prove that he won't be holding
Speaker 3: Dallas back this year?
Speaker 2: I I don't think he's gonna hold him back. He
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be the best player on the team.
Speaker 2: The offense doesn't even have to lead this team, first
Speaker 2: of all. Second of all, that if we're talking about
Speaker 2: a court with the leading NFC contenders, you're gonna hate
Speaker 2: this demand say sorry, And we're talking about a quarterback
Speaker 2: holding somebody back. The concern is not Dak Prescott. It's
Speaker 2: brock Perty. I get it, the guys doesn't lose stand,
Speaker 2: but to act anyone to act like they have more
Speaker 2: faith in Purty than Prescott is ludicrous. And I disagree
Speaker 2: with the commentary right now on the Eagles. I think
Speaker 2: the Eagles. I know that after that Thursday night game,
Speaker 2: the commentary was is there something wrong with the Eagles offense.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything wrong with the Eagles offense.
Speaker 2: I am highly concerned if I'm an Eagles fan, with
Speaker 2: that Eagles secondary and that Eagles pass defense. Again, I
Speaker 2: remind everyone last year, every above average quarterback they played
Speaker 2: other than Cousins lit them up. There was only six
Speaker 2: of them. Golf, Trevor Mahomes, Dak Rogers all lit up
Speaker 2: that defense as far as putting up points and yards.
Speaker 2: The only one that didn't was Kirk. This year, Mac
Speaker 2: Jones throws for three, sixteen and three touchdowns in Game one,
Speaker 2: and then Kirk, the guy whose number they had last year.
Speaker 2: Kirk has a monster game. Kirk throws four, three sixty
Speaker 2: four and four touchdowns. I don't think that Eagles, if
Speaker 2: they don't get to the quarterback, that pass defense is
Speaker 2: a big problem, and they're very fortunate they won that.
Speaker 2: I mean Minnesota, Jung the ball over had four lost
Speaker 2: fumbles and there were five fumbles in that football game.
Speaker 2: Philly recovered all of them. So I don't think the
Speaker 2: Eagles look great. I do think the Niners look great,
Speaker 2: there's no denying it. But I'm waiting for the inevitable
Speaker 2: shoot to drop on brock Perty. We'll see if I'm right.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys look like the best team in the NFC
Speaker 2: by a considerable margin.
Speaker 3: In this time period. We reevaluate the situation and let's
Speaker 3: try week eight. Maybe.
Speaker 4: Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Is that what you're talking about?
Speaker 3: The situation? Yeah, the inevitable. I feel like the inevitable
Speaker 3: is supposed to inevitably happen weeks ago or maybe last year,
Speaker 3: but we just keep extending that time period.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, here's what I'll say. Rock Purty has started
Speaker 2: ten games in his career. Ten one of them was
Speaker 2: the Eagles playoff game where he didn't really get to play.
Speaker 2: So nine games, but we could call it ten because
Speaker 2: he also came in the Dolphins game, So he's basically
Speaker 2: played ten full NFL games. I need to see more
Speaker 2: of a sample. That's all, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: I am I holding his draft position against him?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Am I holding the fact that he is almost exactly
Speaker 2: my size against him? Yeah, I am hold, I am
Speaker 2: and I am I holding against him that. I've seen
Speaker 2: this story before with Niners quarterbacks who I did not
Speaker 2: think was good were good. And now we're seeing that
Speaker 2: Niners quarterback play quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders and
Speaker 2: not be good. Yeah, I am so. I guess we'll
Speaker 2: wait and see. All right, go ahead, next one another quarterback.
Speaker 2: There is a quarterback that I was so high on
Speaker 2: coming into the NFL. Then I kind of turned on him,
Speaker 2: and now I might be turning back, But go.
Speaker 3: Ahead, all right? After beating New England, two is the
Speaker 3: current betting favorite to win MVP. Dolphins are being called
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl contender and many are calling them their
Speaker 3: dark horse team. Well, the Bengals, Bills, and Chiefs looking vulnerable.
Speaker 3: Where are you on the Dolphins' chances to make a
Speaker 3: deep run?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I picked them to win the AFC East.
Speaker 2: They now I mean to meet They're the Now are
Speaker 2: they the favorites? Let me look?
Speaker 4: Are right?
Speaker 2: I had it over got I just closed it by accident. Well,
Speaker 2: the I mean they should be, but Vegas looms the Bills. Man,
Speaker 2: they are the slight favorites over the Bills. They're minus
Speaker 2: one oh five. The Bills are plus one forty, the
Speaker 2: Jets are ten to one, and the Patriots are fifteen
Speaker 2: to one. Listen, I'm gonna say the same thing everybody says.
Speaker 2: If Tua stays healthy, there's one of the most dangerous
Speaker 2: teams in the league. Now, one thing that I will
Speaker 2: say is everyone is kind of working into the math
Speaker 2: that they're gonna get Jalen Ramsey back at the end
Speaker 2: of the year. I don't know if they are. They
Speaker 2: aren't when you have that meniscous repair surgery that's four
Speaker 2: to six months, So Ramsey might not be coming. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure. But right now they look great and Tyreek
Speaker 2: is unguardable and Mike McDaniel's one of the sharpest coaches
Speaker 2: in the entire league, and so to me, there is
Speaker 2: like legitimate reason to fear the Dolphins. Would I do
Speaker 2: I believe that Tua could come into Arrowhead and handle that.
Speaker 2: I don't, But they're now on those list of teams
Speaker 2: that you must that you've got to absolutely treat like
Speaker 2: a true contender, which is why this offseason not to
Speaker 2: pat myself on the back, but I will. When everyone
Speaker 2: was crowning the Jets or still crowning the Bills, I
Speaker 2: picked Miami to win that division. I believe in the Dolphins,
Speaker 2: but we probably do need to see maybe a little
Speaker 2: bit more from them. Go ahead, demanse nothing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm glad we need to see more of
Speaker 3: them too for you to give a real assessment.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, I just to it. It's like he's
Speaker 2: got it. We've never seen him in a playoff game,
Speaker 2: and he's the biggest injury concern in the league. Like
Speaker 2: those are just objective statements, all right, last one?
Speaker 3: All right, the Patriots are zero and two and Belichick's
Speaker 3: quest to pass Don Shula is fleeting.
Speaker 4: Mac Jones is clearly not the answer you just said.
Speaker 3: The Patriots have the have worse odds than Zach Wilson's
Speaker 3: Jets to win the AFC East.
Speaker 4: As his legacy are. Has his legacy already been put
Speaker 4: in danger?
Speaker 2: No, it's like, I mean, only I'm not calling you
Speaker 2: this because I know you're just asking the question. Only
Speaker 2: an idiot would think his legacy is like in danger.
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about our producers either, because that's
Speaker 2: the I'm being clear. That is like the discussion people
Speaker 2: are having. But I think anyone entertaining the idea that
Speaker 2: a coach, the greatest defensive mind in the history of
Speaker 2: the sport, who has six Super Bowl rings, who's been
Speaker 2: to thirteen conference championship games, who's been to nine Super Bowls,
Speaker 2: and then also that's just as a head coach, as
Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator has two super Bowl rings. Anyone thinking
Speaker 2: his legacy is in danger, is I think crazy. Here's
Speaker 2: what's not crazy, asking the question on if the game's
Speaker 2: passed him by it might have. His fourth down decisions
Speaker 2: not great, his two point conversion decisions multiple times, he
Speaker 2: was down fourteen this last week against the Dolphins. Opportunities
Speaker 2: to go for two when you're supposed to, doesn't His
Speaker 2: challenge that everybody was like, oh, it was so funny
Speaker 2: the way through the flag. Nobody focused on the fact
Speaker 2: that was a terrible challenge. You needed the time out,
Speaker 2: you had no chance of winning it, and what are
Speaker 2: you doing, like, you're just angry challenging And now his legacy,
Speaker 2: here's what is fair. His legacy as a GM has
Speaker 2: taken a significant hit. He picks these players and they
Speaker 2: have no talent on offense. They have no one on
Speaker 2: offense that scares you. Mac Jones is black. They have
Speaker 2: no playmakers. Matt Jones completed thirty one passes for two
Speaker 2: hundred yards on Sunday. That's like an algebra problem that's unsolvable.
Speaker 2: Only three times in the last forty five years in
Speaker 2: the NFL has someone completed thirty or more passes zoo,
Speaker 2: of which went for at least fifteen yards. They have
Speaker 2: no big plays. And I don't know if he's gonna
Speaker 2: catch Schula. Now his legacy is unimpeachable, but this part
Speaker 2: of the era not going great. And the producers now
Speaker 2: say he's two games under five hundred without Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: Are we sure we shouldn't ask more questions? Guys, it'd
Speaker 2: be one thing if he has a giant sample without
Speaker 2: Brady of good quarterbacks. He doesn't. He was in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: He had one year with Bloodsoe. When Bloodsoe again, they
Speaker 2: were five and eleven. That year. We did see him
Speaker 2: win eleven games with Matt Castle, saw him make the
Speaker 2: playoffs with mac Jones. If he has had below average
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in his career without Brady, and he's a five
Speaker 2: hundred coach. It's, by the way, the same exact situation
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin finds himself. In Mike Tomlin when Bit, when
Speaker 2: he had Big Bit, they're competing for championships. When he
Speaker 2: had the final couple years of Big Ben, they're not.
Speaker 2: And now post Big Ben, they're not. Like did Tomlin
Speaker 2: get worse or did he just not have a quarterback anymore?
Speaker 2: So the I just he's an all time legendary coach,
Speaker 2: the greatest defensive mind ever, and his roster management drafting
Speaker 2: as of late hasn't been great. I think I insulted
Speaker 2: one and I think that one of our producers he's
Speaker 2: also old. Also, maybe I was a little harsh with
Speaker 2: the idiot comment. I didn't mean to hurt me feel it.
Speaker 3: It was just crazy because like I had, I had
Speaker 3: worded the question that way. It wasn't even in the
Speaker 3: rundown like that. And then like I asked it that way,
Speaker 3: and You're like, whoever would ask that question as an idiot?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, I apologize that.
Speaker 2: That's why I apologize. I realized I was a little
Speaker 2: harsh there. That's my bad, Quick break right back?

Speaker 2: All Right, Demon's eight time Now for a game right
Speaker 2: or Wrong? Our a block went very long, so we're
Speaker 2: going to try to power through this, but go ahead.
Speaker 4: It did all right, So right or Wrong?
Speaker 3: After seeming out of sorts all all in the all
Speaker 3: of the entire last season, Baker Mayfield's boxer two to
Speaker 3: zero Right or Wrong?
Speaker 4: Tom Brady was the problem in Tampa.
Speaker 2: No, Brady wasn't the problem. But the running games better,
Speaker 2: the offensive line is healthier, and people wrote off this
Speaker 2: team for dead way earlier than they should have. Now again,
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to keep it up,
Speaker 2: but I'll tell you this much. I said it earlier.
Speaker 2: I think that Eagles pass defense can get got and
Speaker 2: Baker plays him this week, I wouldn't be I'd be
Speaker 2: very careful of using the Eagles in a survivor pool
Speaker 2: this week. Now, the Eagles maybe blow up that offensive
Speaker 2: line and blow up Baker. I'm not acting like that
Speaker 2: would be crazy, but Baker's playing really really well, and
Speaker 2: folks got to acknowledge it. He's playing really really well.
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, the Chargers are still the Chargers,
Speaker 3: and while Brandon Staley deserve some blame, it doesn't feel
Speaker 3: like Mahomes or Hurts would be losing these games right
Speaker 3: or wrong.
Speaker 4: Justin Herbert is the problem.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. He's not the problem, but he's paid
Speaker 2: to be the solution. That's the issue. Bar the Oh okay,
Speaker 2: oh thanks Demanse. I mean he's the Bill. James used
Speaker 2: to say that the worst teams in sports have an
Speaker 2: amazing ability to blame their best players for their biggest problems,
Speaker 2: meaning like, when a team stinks very often, the guys
Speaker 2: who get blamed are the only guys who are actually
Speaker 2: performing at a high level. It's everyone else. But the
Speaker 2: guys at a high level are the guys we know.
Speaker 2: And I do think that happens to a degree. But
Speaker 2: justin Herbert is not paid like he's a good quarterback,
Speaker 2: and he is not discussed like he is a good quarterback.
Speaker 2: He is paid and he is discussed like he is
Speaker 2: a great quarterback. And he has not been that. He's
Speaker 2: been good. His numbers this year objectively are good. He
Speaker 2: in Week one they scored thirty points and that should
Speaker 2: be enough to win. Well, it might have been thirty
Speaker 2: four points. Actually in Week two he led a game
Speaker 2: aim tying field goal drive. The problem is, and yes,
Speaker 2: Staley has been ever since Staley got bullied out of
Speaker 2: going for fourth downs, he's been a zero as a coach.
Speaker 2: That's undeniable. But for Herbert, they expect you, when you
Speaker 2: get the ball back against the Dolphins and you've scored
Speaker 2: thirty four points in that game, to drive your team
Speaker 2: in a field goal rangs down two and get the win.
Speaker 2: When you get the ball back against the Titans, not
Speaker 2: to drive to the fifteen install to kick a game
Speaker 2: tying field goal, but to put it in the end zone.
Speaker 2: And when you win the toss in overtime, certainly to
Speaker 2: not go three and out. So no, Herbert is good.
Speaker 2: They need him to be great. But Staley's gonna get fired,
Speaker 2: so it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 3: All right, next, okay, all right, Daniel Jones led the
Speaker 3: biggest Giants comeback since nineteen forty nine, leading Ili Mannings
Speaker 3: to steal your bit. I'm gonna show the tweet.
Speaker 2: I know this was bs man. Yeah, you see this.
Speaker 2: Never a doubt.
Speaker 3: Eli got a bigger platform, and now everybody's gonna tie
Speaker 3: it to Eli Manning instead of Nick.
Speaker 2: Right, does he have a bigger platform? Hold on a
Speaker 2: second here, Nope, five hundred and eighteen thousand Twitter followers
Speaker 2: about sixty k behind your boy?
Speaker 3: Did you say five hundred and eighteen thousand that's what
Speaker 3: he has?
Speaker 4: Eli? That's a shocker to me.
Speaker 2: Maybe is it five hundred and seventy five thousand? Maybe so,
Speaker 2: but I didn't see it on Instagram. So pump your
Speaker 2: brakes on the old he's got a bigger platform.
Speaker 3: But go ahead the CU trade anyways, But Saquon Barkley
Speaker 3: is out for three weeks.
Speaker 4: Right or wrong, the Giants are playoff bound.
Speaker 2: Wrong? No, I mean listen. I did give your guy
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones credit, and I was rooting for him for
Speaker 2: reasons we'll discuss in a moment in the second half
Speaker 2: of that game, and he played great. But the Giants
Speaker 2: are cooked. I mean they You don't get outscored sixty
Speaker 2: to nothing to start your season and be a good team.
Speaker 2: Sixty to nothing through six quarters. And now they rallied
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Yeah, they rallied and they temporarily saved their season.
Speaker 2: But Demonse, here's what they've got coming up Thursday at
Speaker 2: San Francisco, then home for Seattle, then at the Dolphins
Speaker 2: at the Bills. They're cooked and Saquan's injured, like I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: and everyone else in their division is undefeated amazingly. So yeah,
Speaker 2: the Giants are in real trouble. But shout out Daniel
Speaker 2: Jones was a great second half and it won me
Speaker 2: a bunch of money.
Speaker 4: Next shout out DJ.
Speaker 3: All Right, down ten with no time left, the Rams
Speaker 3: strangely opted to kick a field goal. The spread happened
Speaker 3: to be Rams plus seven. Of course in some places, yeah, right,
Speaker 3: of course, that's not what McVeigh was thinking. But it
Speaker 3: was pretty weird, right or wrong? Sean McVay wanted the
Speaker 3: kicker to get some extra reps.
Speaker 2: No, Sean McVay did technically the right thing, and with
Speaker 2: seven seconds left rather than four seconds, no one would
Speaker 2: question it. He did the right thing because if you're
Speaker 2: down two scores in the waning moments, if you're down
Speaker 2: i'm sorry, a touchdown in a field goal two touchdowns,
Speaker 2: obviously it's not the case. The optimum strategy is kick
Speaker 2: the field goal on side kick and then do the
Speaker 2: hail mary with like two seconds left, because the hail
Speaker 2: mary takes so long. If you try to do that
Speaker 2: on the front end, you're not gonna have time for
Speaker 2: the on side kicking field goal. So if there were
Speaker 2: seven seconds left, you kick the field goal, that's then
Speaker 2: takes four seconds. There's now three seconds left. You kick
Speaker 2: the on side kick. An onside kick recovery can take
Speaker 2: one second because the clock doesn't start until someone touches it.
Speaker 2: So a perfectly executed on side kick, you get it
Speaker 2: on a high bounce, you get it, you go straight down,
Speaker 2: then you have time for a hail mary. That's what
Speaker 2: he was thinking. The problem is, with four seconds left,
Speaker 2: there's no time for the field goal, plus the on
Speaker 2: side kick, so you know, he ended up helping out
Speaker 2: those of us that had the rams plus seven and
Speaker 2: a half. So much love, Sean McVay, appreciate you.
Speaker 3: Next speed of hail Mary's Russell Wilson completed both the
Speaker 3: hail Mary and blew a twenty one point lead in
Speaker 3: the same game.
Speaker 4: But he definitely looks better this year. Right or wrong,
Speaker 4: Russ is cooked.
Speaker 2: Right, he's cooked. Listen. He looks better than the first
Speaker 2: halves and in the second he's been the worst second
Speaker 2: half quarterback in one of the worst second half quarterbacks
Speaker 2: in football. Once again, they have Sean and by the way,
Speaker 2: Sean Payton will throw him under the bus if he
Speaker 2: needs to, and is already starting the process. He already
Speaker 2: said maybe Russ needs a wristband. He needs to be
Speaker 2: sharper Sean Payton. That interview Sean Payton did with USA
Speaker 2: today is still rearing its ugly head because he said
Speaker 2: it was the worst coaching job in NFL history last year.
Speaker 2: If we don't make the playoffs, we're gonna be pissed.
Speaker 2: And they look very similar. He just blew an eighteen
Speaker 2: point lead at home to Sam Howell. So yeah, listen,
Speaker 2: Russ is cooked. Even though he's better than last year.
Speaker 2: And I think they're in real, real, real trouble.
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, Pooka Nikoua is a name
Speaker 3: people are quickly gonna come to know after setting a
Speaker 3: bunch of records in his first two games.
Speaker 4: Right or wrong, Nicoole will win Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good question. I mean, I hadn't even
Speaker 2: thought of that. But the record for the first two
Speaker 2: catches in your first two career games was I think nineteen.
Speaker 2: My guy's got twenty five the best. Maybe he'll win
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year. It's too early to say. Anthony Richards, C. J.
Speaker 2: Stroud just threw for three eighty. You know, people, B
Speaker 2: Jean Robinson is the smart bet and the bet that
Speaker 2: I made. What I will say my more fun and
Speaker 2: shout out to first in pod that football podcast with
Speaker 2: Danny Parkins and Andrew Philippony that I listened to every
Speaker 2: Monday and Thursday. They do a great job with it
Speaker 2: for mentioning this, and I don't think this is fair,
Speaker 2: but it is an interesting question. Is Pooka Nakula showing
Speaker 2: that Cooper Cup is a system receiver? Is Pooka Nakulah
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, coming in as a fifth round
Speaker 2: rookie and just catching all the routes Cooper Cup caught
Speaker 2: and doing all of that. And now listen, Cooper Cup
Speaker 2: was unbelievable in that Super Bowl. He's obviously more than
Speaker 2: a system receiver. But does it make you look at
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup a tie a bit differently that this twenty
Speaker 2: two year old fifth round bick from BYU can have
Speaker 2: twenty five catches? Maybe a little bit, maybe a little
Speaker 2: bit differently?
Speaker 3: All right, next, All right, last year you raved about
Speaker 3: Justin Fields, but he's now lost twelve straight as the
Speaker 3: Bears starter. Right or wrong Fields will keep his starting
Speaker 3: gig in Chicago.
Speaker 2: I do not remember raving about Justin Fields. I don't
Speaker 2: remember that there were a couple games where he did
Speaker 2: look dynamic, but I have never been fully sold on Fields.
Speaker 2: If the tape you know says I'm wrong, then we
Speaker 2: can play it on Thursday. I don't remember raving about him.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 3: I do remember little time spurts where you were speaking
Speaker 3: very highly at Justin Fields. I can't go back and
Speaker 3: log it exactly, but I do remember faintly you saying
Speaker 3: like get justin fields, some pieces, some other stuff.
Speaker 4: Piece, just see what he could do.
Speaker 2: The producers are saying, I called him the most electric
Speaker 2: runner of the football at the quarterback position outside of
Speaker 2: Vic and Lamar. Well that's acting.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I still think that they don't let him run anymore.
Speaker 2: And it looks like he can't throw anymore. You could
Speaker 2: throw at Ohio State. I listen, the Bears are in
Speaker 2: real bad shape. They're in real bad shape, and so
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what they do. They
Speaker 2: had the number one pick of the draft this last
Speaker 2: year and traded the Wakes. They believed in fields, and
Speaker 2: now it looks like they might be regretting that.
Speaker 3: All right, next, the Jets are screwed, but Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 3: says he's gonna come back. He's gonna try to come
Speaker 3: back and make an attempt to make it for the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Right or wrong, A what and sixteen team? He can
Speaker 3: make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Aaron Rodgers, a big believer in
Speaker 2: modern medicine, color me just shocked. I listen, he's not
Speaker 2: coming back this year. Guy popped his achilles and the
Speaker 2: Jets aren't making the playoffs anyway, and they have a
Speaker 2: shot of making the playoffs if they trade for James
Speaker 2: Winston or do something at quarterback. Yeah, exactly. But Zach Wilson,
Speaker 2: I mean, Zach Wilson's one of the worst quarterbacks in
Speaker 2: NFL history. I there's just everybody is like at this point,
Speaker 2: people are like going the other direction. I mean, like, like,
Speaker 2: it's not Zach's fault. It is Zach was twelve to
Speaker 2: twenty seven with three picks.
Speaker 4: The cow He's played the Cowboys and the Bills so.
Speaker 2: Far, every game of his career, he's been terrible every game.
Speaker 2: You know those things you see on Twitter sometimes where
Speaker 2: it's like, if someone gave you ten million dollars and
Speaker 2: asked you to complete one pass in the NFL, could
Speaker 2: you do it? The the answer is, well, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Like if the question is like, what would just a
Speaker 2: guy who played some high school football who was dropped
Speaker 2: into an NFL game, look, turn on the Jets while
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson's the quarterback, I mean that's the answer. I
Speaker 2: mean again, I everyone's like, oh, we don't want to
Speaker 2: be mean. I feel badly for him. He is being
Speaker 2: asked to do something he cannot do. If every Sunday.
Speaker 2: They're like, they were like, Nick, we need you to
Speaker 2: unicycle on national television. I'm gonna be like, well, this sucks.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do this, but they're making
Speaker 2: me do it. That's Zach playing quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2: He's like, this sucks. I don't know how to do this,
Speaker 2: but they're making me do this. I mean, just what
Speaker 2: it is like. Maybe he's a good guy, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but he's he's he's one of the five worst quarterbacks
Speaker 2: I've ever seen in my life that regularly gets opportunities.
Speaker 2: All right, next he just is He's terrible.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: HBO canceled Winning Time after their ratings were cut nearly
Speaker 3: in half for the second season. Or at least it's
Speaker 3: what they want you to think, right or wrong, Wainning
Speaker 3: Time was canceled because they cast the wrong guy for
Speaker 3: Byron Scott.
Speaker 4: I can't stop listen.
Speaker 2: I don't know the demonse should have been, Byron Scott?
Speaker 2: What is what do you? I didn't watch Winning Time?
Speaker 2: What is wild? Is they clearly anticipated getting a third
Speaker 2: season because it's called Winning Time. It's about the Lakers
Speaker 2: rise to greatness in the eighties. Their big rival was
Speaker 2: the Celtics. Demonse, do you know how the season two
Speaker 2: winds like? It's not? Yes? The final season of Winning
Speaker 2: Time is the Celtics winning the eighty four title. What
Speaker 2: a disaster. The final part is larry them. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: didn't get to Like in nineteen eighty five. It crescendos
Speaker 2: for the Lakers. They beat the Celtics in the finals.
Speaker 2: They get their revenge, all of it, and and we
Speaker 2: know we're never gonna get to see it. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: All right, last one?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Uh, you cash in?
Speaker 3: You cash in a big bet, a big live bet
Speaker 3: on Sunday predicting that the Cardinals will blow it and
Speaker 3: Russ would be Russ.
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna show a tweet for those watching
Speaker 4: on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Have you seen DEMONTI? Did you see this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had to argue with this guy to get
Speaker 3: this put on the show. By the way, Uh but
Speaker 3: uh but yes, that's that's insane.
Speaker 4: This we're doing this. He wanted to be modest for.
Speaker 2: The people listening it was and that I appreciate you
Speaker 2: having my back there, but that is not true. I
Speaker 2: said we need to put it on the show, Gabe,
Speaker 2: because he's smart Gabe, our fearless leader. Gabe thinks that
Speaker 2: I might alienate some of the audience. Gabe didn't say this,
Speaker 2: but I know it by publishing bet show right the
Speaker 2: yeah you know what?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 2: Okay? So I it was the Giants were down twenty
Speaker 2: to twenty one to seven and Washington was down twenty
Speaker 2: to three, and I live bet parlayed at five hundred
Speaker 2: and the payout was twenty one thousand, seven hundred and
Speaker 2: we banked it. Now, the right or wrong is dior
Speaker 2: deserves her cut. If Door listens to this show or
Speaker 2: watches this show, she'll get her cut. What I will
Speaker 2: say is, demonse you demanse had I don't need to
Speaker 2: get into details banking snaff fu. And because of that,
Speaker 2: he didn't have access to some of his money. So
Speaker 2: I sent him money a couple of weeks ago and
Speaker 2: he said, hey, I'll send you half this day and
Speaker 2: half the next day, and without any prompting, without me
Speaker 2: asking anything, he sent the half. So because I hit
Speaker 2: a nice little windfall there, you can keep the other half.
Speaker 2: And if Diora watches and listens to this, she can
Speaker 2: get the same amount. If she doesn't, she's just out
Speaker 2: of luck out there, you know, enjoying her first week
Speaker 2: at college. But so we don't have to say what
Speaker 2: that amount is. It's not a ton of money, but
Speaker 2: it's you know.
Speaker 3: It's very generous of you. I appreciate that. Looking at
Speaker 3: the bet, I just don't really know how to like
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, but you should get more. No, No,
Speaker 3: I didn't know. That is not what I'm saying at all.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like to you, this does not matter
Speaker 3: at all. This is this, But in my world, this
Speaker 3: is this is everything.
Speaker 4: This is everything.
Speaker 3: I may or may not give Diora some leads. She's
Speaker 3: in college. It's gonna real bit of.
Speaker 2: All right, so the the how about this? Don't give
Speaker 2: her any leads for at least forty eight hours, and
Speaker 2: then on Thursday on the pod, we'll see if she is.
Speaker 2: We can re update the story, and then we'll decide
Speaker 2: whether or not you should tip her off fair but
Speaker 2: don't say anything to her for at least forty eight hours.
Speaker 2: But the funny thing about that bet was I they
Speaker 2: kept offering me cash outs, and it was a five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars bet, and within thirty minutes the cat like
Speaker 2: with the when neither team. Neither the Giants nor the
Speaker 2: UH Washington had the lead. They were offering me five thousand,
Speaker 2: because at that point they were both games were in
Speaker 2: the bounce, so five hundreds bet they were offered me
Speaker 2: ten x. I was like, no, that's not doing it,
Speaker 2: even though at the time that didn't seem like a
Speaker 2: terrible idea because I need both teams were still trailing.
Speaker 2: Then when the Giants had won and the Washington was
Speaker 2: up eleven, it flipped like that, the Giants game is over,
Speaker 2: Washington is up eleven. Now my bet is seemingly locked.
Speaker 2: The cash out option was only, like I shouldn't say only,
Speaker 2: but in comparison, it was seventeen thousand, and I was like,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? The winner it pays nearly twenty two.
Speaker 2: One half the bet is done, the other half. I
Speaker 2: have an eleven point lead with four minutes left, like
Speaker 2: the cash out option should be if the win is
Speaker 2: twenty two, the cash out option should be like twenty
Speaker 2: right now. So I was like, that's ridiculous even and
Speaker 2: I've never cashed out a bet in my life, but
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even consider it. Demanse. When that Hail Mary
Speaker 2: was completed, I dropped to my knees. That's the other
Speaker 2: part of this bet. It was an all time legendary
Speaker 2: bet that almost was an all time stomach punch. The
Speaker 2: team that was down eighteen was up eleven with four
Speaker 2: minutes to go, and up eight with three seconds to
Speaker 2: go and a triple tiptail. Mary ended up coming in,
Speaker 2: but there his pass interference on the two point conversion of.
Speaker 4: What in his cage at that moment, So in his gut,
Speaker 4: Dexter was.
Speaker 2: The most locked up a dog that has ever been.
Speaker 2: Dexter Dexter was hanging out for the beginning of football
Speaker 2: and then Chiefs Jags was a little more stressful than
Speaker 2: I anticipated when the Chiefs were on some fumbling passes,
Speaker 2: so I locked him up then. And then my plan
Speaker 2: was to take him out, you know, a halftime of
Speaker 2: the four o'clock games. But then then I was too
Speaker 2: invested in those, So Dexter Dexter was locked up until
Speaker 2: Sunday night football. Dexter had a nice day hanging out
Speaker 2: by himself. All right, quick break, come back, answer, just
Speaker 2: a few quick questions because I'm late today. What's right?
Speaker 2: Welcome back? In episode one seventy eight, What's Right? With
Speaker 2: Nick Wright. Demons realizes, now we're on cameras he wipes
Speaker 2: his eyes for all the YouTube audience to see. Demons
Speaker 2: go ahead and read the questions, and if you have
Speaker 2: any shout outs you want to do, go ahead there
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: My friend all right, DJB says, do you think Shador
Speaker 3: is a top ten pick? Nick?
Speaker 2: Not yet, but but trending towards it. He's not there yet.
Speaker 2: Need also see more from him against better competition. And
Speaker 2: again you're seeing good competition, but I'm very excited to
Speaker 2: see him against Oregon. Now, USC's defense is no good,
Speaker 2: but he's been wildly impressive. He's not to me anywhere
Speaker 2: close to the same tier as Caleb, but he has
Speaker 2: shown a lot, man, And that ninety eight yard drive
Speaker 2: with the game on the line, with all that pressure,
Speaker 2: that absolutely showed a lot. All right.
Speaker 3: Next Wiki two says party is nearly as many good
Speaker 3: games as Trevor in the NFL ninety plus.
Speaker 2: Ratings with any plus rating.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and fewer attempts and more good college games
Speaker 3: with lesser talent.
Speaker 4: How do you need? How do you need more from
Speaker 4: Brock but not Trevor?
Speaker 3: Okay, guys, oh you're going to talk about the pedigree
Speaker 3: and how he came from college and he was this prospect.
Speaker 2: Of course, yes, I am all right. First of all,
Speaker 2: do not compare Trevor Lawrence's college career to brock parties.
Speaker 2: Stop it, stop it. And yes, in professional athletics, the
Speaker 2: guy who, since he was twelve, everyone said is one
Speaker 2: of the best twelve year old's, thirteen year old's, fourteen
Speaker 2: year old, fifteen year old, sixty year old they've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Who is six ' six, who won a national championship,
Speaker 2: who was the number one pick of the draft. Yes,
Speaker 2: that guy. I'm going to give more dispensation to. Furthermore,
Speaker 2: guy who took over a team that had won one
Speaker 2: game and then within two years they are in the
Speaker 2: playoffs winning a playoff game versus a guy who took
Speaker 2: over the most stacked team in the league. Give me
Speaker 2: a break, But yes, the one. The fact that one
Speaker 2: guy is six inches taller and was a better high
Speaker 2: school player by a mile, a better college player. I
Speaker 2: think college thing is ridiculous by a mile. Of course,
Speaker 2: I'm going to believe in him more, of course I am.
Speaker 2: That's with respect Will Kinchen, That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Okay, Next, all rightn Quvin Kevin Quajano ass So the
Speaker 3: Vikings trade Cousins to the Jets for some defensive pieces
Speaker 3: or pigs in tank for Caleb.
Speaker 2: It's a popular one people are talking about if they
Speaker 2: lose this week maybe because because Cousins' contract is up
Speaker 2: after this year, if they don't think they're going to
Speaker 2: bring him back. If the Jets win this weekend against
Speaker 2: the Patriots, just based purely on defense and Zach is
Speaker 2: terrible and the Vikings lose, I could see that potentially
Speaker 2: being a hotter topic. I brew brought it up on
Speaker 2: the TV show. It's possible. I think it's unlikely, but
Speaker 2: I think it's possible. All right, before we go, demanse,
Speaker 2: we're done with the questions because I gotta go. I
Speaker 2: gotta go do Colin and the TV show Demonse, go.
Speaker 3: Ahead, yo, big shout out to Madeline Morrow. Just wanted
Speaker 3: to wish your happy birthday. Let you know I love you, dude.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: Why did you throw a dude at the end of it?
Speaker 4: Because call everyone dude.
Speaker 2: You were about to really, by the way, because Maddie
Speaker 2: is a gender neutral name, you were really going to
Speaker 2: confuse the audience there that was going to be like
Speaker 2: the curveball. You just threw it the audience with the.
Speaker 3: Yeah girl, Baddy, Just so we're clear, day's her birthday.
Speaker 4: I love that girl.
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, made happy birthday happy. I'm glad you were
Speaker 2: able to do that. This was a really good show
Speaker 2: you did. Rally Demanse, you were excellent. I know you're
Speaker 2: a little sier Weather. I appreciate it. I know you
Speaker 2: got to get to work. I got to go on
Speaker 2: with my guy Colin, uh and then see on First
Speaker 2: things first at three o'clock, what's right
