Speaker 2: Welcome in episode one oh seven What's Right with Nick Ray.
Speaker 2: Apologies for not being here last Thursday and Friday. We
Speaker 2: really appreciate how many of you have noticed of that
Speaker 2: we're looking for the pod. We should have been more
Speaker 2: clear about our schedule last week. Some television responsibilities intersected
Speaker 2: with our regular recording times. Will be back for the
Speaker 2: duration now the rest of this week in the rust
Speaker 2: of the football season with our three episodes a week. Also,
Speaker 2: make sure you tune in to this Friday's Gambling Show,
Speaker 2: not only because I went four and one this week,
Speaker 2: because we did post our picks even though we didn't
Speaker 2: do the show, but also because we will have a
Speaker 2: story that everyone can learn from. As our young protege,
Speaker 2: Demonse went through the real pitfalls of gambling this week,
Speaker 2: and you might be able to tell from the look
Speaker 2: on his face he's here in body, but not necessarily
Speaker 2: in spirit. Is a tough last twenty four hours for him,
Speaker 2: and it started off so promisingly because, as you will
Speaker 2: see by what did not make the show, Demanse, for
Speaker 2: the first time in his life, got a Madden victory
Speaker 2: over on me. He got a Madden victory on me
Speaker 2: this weekend streaming live on Twitch. That Twitch stream is growing.
Speaker 2: There's a saving grace from the weekend. Also not making
Speaker 2: the show, frisky Chargers moving into the six seed and
Speaker 2: the Giants holding off the Commanders. None of that's in
Speaker 2: the show. We had an insane Week fourteen in the NFL.
Speaker 2: We will get to all or Week fifteen in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Was it week fifteen? It was a week fifteen in
Speaker 2: the NFL. Every team's now played fourteen games. We will
Speaker 2: get to all of that, plus Anthony Davis's injury. But
Speaker 2: before we do any of that, Demons, we have to
Speaker 2: start exactly where you wanted to start with the soccer
Speaker 2: from this weekend.
Speaker 3: Go right ahead, Yeah, it was one of the best
Speaker 3: weekends of sports ever or my lifetime. At least, Josh
Speaker 3: Allen and Tua finally went head to head. The Raiders
Speaker 3: had an insane walkoff touchdown. Yeah, the Prince that was
Speaker 3: promised came back and beat the Cowboys in overtime. But
Speaker 3: nothing compares to what Summer calling the best World Cup
Speaker 3: Final ever. Without further ado or final fee be forecast
Speaker 3: until twenty twenty six, Argentina defeated France and what you're
Speaker 3: calling the best final of the last half century.
Speaker 2: Well, by the way, I said that after ninety minutes
Speaker 2: after the full game, clearly the best World Cup final ever.
Speaker 3: But go ahead, okay, and Bope did all he could.
Speaker 3: But there is no doubt that Messi is certified. Goat,
Speaker 3: Where does he rank among the best athletes of our lifetime?
Speaker 2: Listen, I saw this question in there. He's on the
Speaker 2: very very short list. I mean, he is now the
Speaker 2: certified greatest ever in the most popular sport in the world.
Speaker 2: So if someone wanted to argue he's the best athlete ever,
Speaker 2: so be it, like you've got to at least you
Speaker 2: got to at least be open to that possibility. But
Speaker 2: I don't even That's not where I want to focus
Speaker 2: on this. I want to focus on that that World
Speaker 2: Cup final could not have been a more perfect sporting
Speaker 2: of it. So you add the two stars of each
Speaker 2: team with very different stories. So you add Messi, who
Speaker 2: this is his last dance at the World Cup, the
Speaker 2: only thing missing from his resume. A guy who buy
Speaker 2: non World Cup accomplishments is the clear cut greatest soccer player. Ever, However,
Speaker 2: those of us who maybe put an added extra emphasis
Speaker 2: on what you do in the World Cup always had
Speaker 2: kind of a special place for Pele because Pele won
Speaker 2: the World Cup as a teenager. His team then wanted
Speaker 2: again to go back to back in nineteen sixty two
Speaker 2: even though he was injured and he didn't play in it,
Speaker 2: and then they injured him again in sixty six and
Speaker 2: Brazil got knocked out, and then in seventy he won
Speaker 2: it again. So he had three World Cups and four appearances.
Speaker 2: He was awesome in the final of two of those three.
Speaker 2: He didn't play in the final of the middle one.
Speaker 2: And Messi, on the other hand, while he had won
Speaker 2: the Golden Ball at the World Cup in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 2: he had lost that final. Then last World Cup they
Speaker 2: got knocked out in the round of sixteen by France
Speaker 2: and Imbope. So that's the Messi story going into this game.
Speaker 2: Then there's the Embape story again using the Pele standard.
Speaker 2: At the World Cup in twenty eighteen, Imbape became the
Speaker 2: first teenager to score in a World Cup final since Pele.
Speaker 2: Throughout this World Cup, A tied and passed many of
Speaker 2: Pele's records as far as goals before you turn twenty four,
Speaker 2: had a chance to become the first France had a
Speaker 2: chance to become the first team to go back to
Speaker 2: back in the World Cup since Pele in Brazil, the
Speaker 2: ones we were talking about. So those were the storylines
Speaker 2: going into this game. And then those two athletes delivered
Speaker 2: in a way that I don't know what the comp is.
Speaker 2: So the World Cup opens twenty minutes in with a
Speaker 2: bad foul by France, Messi gets a penalty kick nail.
Speaker 2: About fifteen minutes later, out of nowhere, Argentina gets out
Speaker 2: on a break. Messi makes a perfect pass to spring
Speaker 2: the break. There's then another pass and then Messi's Scottie
Speaker 2: Pippen to his Michael Jordan An held Maria, who they
Speaker 2: didn't even know if he was going to start this game,
Speaker 2: finishes it perfectly and it's two nothing Argentina and in
Speaker 2: Bape's done nothing in the first half of this game.
Speaker 2: In Bope had eleven touches, the least of any player
Speaker 2: that had started the game. And then Argentina seemed to
Speaker 2: be in firm control. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: much like happened against the Netherlands, Argentina in the waning
Speaker 2: moments started to flounder a bit. They now commit a
Speaker 2: bad foul. In Bope steps to the spot, nails it.
Speaker 2: One minute later, in Bope nails it again, not a
Speaker 2: penalty kick, just a great goal, and all of a
Speaker 2: sudden it's two to two and we're And then in
Speaker 2: the ninety fifth minute, essentially the final play of the game,
Speaker 2: Messi has an unbelievable attempt from outside the box and
Speaker 2: Lauris saves it, saves it, what would have been the
Speaker 2: greatest soccer moment ever. He saves it. We're going to
Speaker 2: extra time. In extra time, Messi scores again, seemingly to
Speaker 2: win the World Cup. Everyone is crying. Then Argentina commits
Speaker 2: it's a handball in the box and Bob steps to
Speaker 2: the spot again scores. He now has a hat trick.
Speaker 2: So Messi has two goals and Babe has a hat trick.
Speaker 2: And then it looks like France is gonna win it.
Speaker 2: In the final second they have a breakaway. Great job
Speaker 2: by the Argentina goaltender saves it. We go to penalty
Speaker 2: in Bape and Messe Messi both step up, both make
Speaker 2: their penalty kicks, and then and then France missus one
Speaker 2: and gets one blocked and Argentina wins. So you have
Speaker 2: Messi's crowning achievement of his career. You then also have
Speaker 2: inm Bope who now has five goals in World Cup finals.
Speaker 2: He's twenty three years old. That's the most goals in
Speaker 2: World Cup finals ever. He'll play in another two or
Speaker 2: three World Cups. We'll see if they make the final.
Speaker 2: So you have a guy building a resume as one
Speaker 2: of the greatest ever and in Bope who absolutely rose
Speaker 2: to the occasion. You now have Messi, who the World
Speaker 2: Cup was the one like yeah, but on his resume
Speaker 2: now not only does he have a victory, he's the
Speaker 2: only player ever to win the Golden Ball in multiple
Speaker 2: World Cups. It could not have been more thrilling. It
Speaker 2: could not have been a better tournament. The right champion
Speaker 2: was crowned. I'm so thrilled, and now in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: six attend the United States. It was absolutely sensational. We
Speaker 2: have a whole question asking where Messi ranks among all
Speaker 2: time athletes. Fifty two percent say the goat, forty percent
Speaker 2: say he's in the top ten. All right, next, all right.
Speaker 3: The Bills had a comeback of their own in the
Speaker 3: fourth quarter and the fourth quarter blizzard. Sorry, Josh Allen
Speaker 3: seemed to shake off whatever had been affecting him in
Speaker 3: the past few weeks with an impressive performance. See you,
Speaker 3: though you didn't think he did too well well in.
Speaker 2: The second half, hit, I didn't think he did so
Speaker 2: well well, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Tearing him a part at every small mistake. Meanwhile, Kansas
Speaker 3: City played down to their competition in the Texans and
Speaker 3: you didn't say a peep. What's up with the double standard?
Speaker 2: Okay, well, let's talk about Josh Allen. So Josh Allen
Speaker 2: started the game sailing balls over people's head. So I
Speaker 2: tweeted out Josh Allen out here throwing to ten foot
Speaker 2: tall wide receivers. He then was excellent the rest of
Speaker 2: the first half. But the Dolphins I thought, had a
Speaker 2: really smart game plan, and if they had run the
Speaker 2: ball a little bit more consistently, they had stay dedicated
Speaker 2: to run a little bit more, I think they could
Speaker 2: have been in a better position. And then Josh Allen
Speaker 2: had an incredibly risky play on the final play of
Speaker 2: the first half. They have eight seconds left, they have
Speaker 2: no timeouts. You got to take a quick shot to
Speaker 2: the end zone, so if you don't get it, you
Speaker 2: can get the field goal. Josh Allen rolled out, took
Speaker 2: a bunch of time to where the field goal wasn't
Speaker 2: going to be able to be kicked. It was the
Speaker 2: final play of the half, but he connected for a
Speaker 2: touchdown and it looked like, oh okay, the Bills are
Speaker 2: going to win. The Dolphins then came storming back thanks
Speaker 2: to a Josh Allen fumble, and then on the very
Speaker 2: next possession he fumbled again. Now they got it back
Speaker 2: and the Bills ended up winning the football game. When
Speaker 2: people say there is a double standard of how I
Speaker 2: look at the Bills versus the Chiefs, don't talk about
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in a moment or Josh Allen versus Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Of course there is, of course, there is a different
Speaker 2: standard for a guy who has been crowned without the
Speaker 2: accomplishments versus a guy who is all the accomplishments possible.
Speaker 2: And second of all, I give Josh Allen credit for
Speaker 2: having overall an excellent game. It's like four hundred yards,
Speaker 2: four touchdowns. He ran the ball great once the snow
Speaker 2: started coming down. I will give him credit. What I
Speaker 2: won't do is pretend that that has been the standard
Speaker 2: for him the last two months. That's his first excellent
Speaker 2: game since the Chiefs game. And the Bills listen, that's
Speaker 2: a huge win and a great win for them because
Speaker 2: they stay in the one seed. They are at Chicago
Speaker 2: next week. They are then at Cincinnati and then home
Speaker 2: for the Patriots to wrap up the season. They better
Speaker 2: go three to zero if they right now, the Bills
Speaker 2: are the one seed. If they go too and one,
Speaker 2: but the loss is to Cincinnati, they likely end the
Speaker 2: season as the three seed, and Josh Allen right now
Speaker 2: last night's game, notwithstanding, has not been a top three
Speaker 2: quarterback in the AFC this year. So those are all
Speaker 2: just facts. Mahomes, on the other hand, who will get
Speaker 2: to in a moment, played a perfect football game yesterday.
Speaker 2: Now granted it was well, you know what, let's get
Speaker 2: to it right now, go.
Speaker 3: Ahead, perfect football game.
Speaker 2: He did.
Speaker 3: Go ahead? All right. You can say that, you can
Speaker 3: say all you want and that there was never a doubt,
Speaker 3: but everybody knows you had had to been sweating through.
Speaker 3: I mean, I definitely know I was in the room.
Speaker 3: But your team is almost blown it against Denver and
Speaker 3: Houston back to back weeks, two of the worst teams
Speaker 3: in football. You claim Buffalo isn't anything to be scared of,
Speaker 3: but your chiefs are having a hard time with Rippin
Speaker 3: and Millis Mills. Mills always say, Millis, if the last
Speaker 3: two I'm sorry, If the last two.
Speaker 2: Games aren't putting you on high alert, then what will Okay, First,
Speaker 2: let me explain what I said before you said you
Speaker 2: seem to scoff when I said Mahomes played a perfect
Speaker 2: football game because literally the highest completion percentage on a
Speaker 2: forty pass game in NFL history. He threw forty one
Speaker 2: times five were incomplete. He was thirty six of forty one.
Speaker 2: He threw two touchdowns, he ran for another touchdown. The
Speaker 2: Chiefs could not stop committing egregious defensive penalties, and guys
Speaker 2: not named Patrick Mahomes could not stop fumbling the football.
Speaker 2: So here's where I'm at with Kansas City. Am I
Speaker 2: frustrated with the fact that it was the Texans? Well yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I didn't expect them to blow out
Speaker 2: the Texans, because the Chiefs tend not to blow out
Speaker 2: terrible teams. Did I expect them to have to go
Speaker 2: to overtime to beat the Texans? Of course not. I'm
Speaker 2: not going to act like that's a good win by
Speaker 2: the team. And right now, once again, this seems to
Speaker 2: be Patrick Mahomes has to do everything for this team
Speaker 2: or else they can't survive. Now, why I actually feel
Speaker 2: okay about that is because he's the best player who's
Speaker 2: ever lived. So of anyone who has to do everything
Speaker 2: for a team in order for you to survive, I'd
Speaker 2: rather it be him than literally anyone else. Okay, So
Speaker 2: this is where we get to the MVP conversation, and
Speaker 2: I find it's so ludicrous. Mahomes has all the numbers,
Speaker 2: all the eye tests, and on top of that, right now,
Speaker 2: other than Travis Kelce, who on the Chiefs is playing
Speaker 2: even really well much less great. The answer had been
Speaker 2: Chris Jones, but they couldn't get to Davis Mills yesterday.
Speaker 2: The pass defense, pass rush, and secondary has fallen apart
Speaker 2: ever since the pick six against Russell Wilson. Since then,
Speaker 2: you've let Russell Wilson, Brett Rippon and Davis Mills in
Speaker 2: six and a half quarters of football score fifty three
Speaker 2: points on you, mostly through the air. That's or fifty
Speaker 2: one points on you. That's no good. I think Andy
Speaker 2: Reid's situational coaching has been call it less than ideal
Speaker 2: once again this week, playing for a field goal at
Speaker 2: the end of the game instead of letting the best
Speaker 2: player in the world try to go get more yards.
Speaker 2: That way, you're kicking a shorter field goal. Buckkerk, who
Speaker 2: used to be the second best kicker in football, missed
Speaker 2: a game winning field goal and missed another extra point.
Speaker 2: The offensive line once again is not playing great, particularly
Speaker 2: at the tackle spots. The Chiefs have some issues, I
Speaker 2: am not denying that. With that said, what they also
Speaker 2: have is the best player in the league by a
Speaker 2: country mile. And so come the postseason, when I Listen,
Speaker 2: I don't think the Chiefs are losing again. This was
Speaker 2: the game that they totally overlooked the opponent. They could
Speaker 2: have been beaten, they weren't. What they have left is Seattle,
Speaker 2: which is flailing right now, in Arrowhead, Denver in Arrowhead,
Speaker 2: and then a trip to Vegas in week eighteen when
Speaker 2: the Raiders will be playing for nothing. So I think
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, despite all those issues, despite going into the
Speaker 2: season the toughest schedule in the league, are going to
Speaker 2: finish fourteen and three that will either be the one
Speaker 2: or the two seed. Buffalo is gonna have to win
Speaker 2: out for fourteen and three by Kansas City to not
Speaker 2: be the one seed, to not be the second best
Speaker 2: record in the entire NFL. So that again gets me
Speaker 2: to some of my Buffalo criticism has been the fact
Speaker 2: that they were and still are the favorites for the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Josh Allen was the league MVP favorite going
Speaker 2: into the year, and I didn't think they had earned
Speaker 2: that place. And to be honest with you, I think
Speaker 2: I'm being proven correct on that. Buffalo. Yes they have
Speaker 2: the same record as Kansas City, and yes this week
Speaker 2: they looked far better than Kansas City. But they have
Speaker 2: clearly not been the overwhelming juggernaut that so many people
Speaker 2: promised me they were. Also, and this is sad and
Speaker 2: a little scary, but it's true. This week, the Bill's
Speaker 2: best offensive lineman and most important offensive lineman, their center,
Speaker 2: Mitch mor Scott a concussion. That's noteworthy because it is
Speaker 2: his sixth career concussion. So he might be done, not
Speaker 2: like just for the year. He might his career might
Speaker 2: be over. We'll see. He also could be back in
Speaker 2: two weeks. I don't know. We have to read more
Speaker 2: about that, but that part for Buffalo is really concerning.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say another thing for Buffalo, I think
Speaker 2: they are being reckless in how they are using Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: He is getting the crap kicked out of him each
Speaker 2: and every week because they have to have him running
Speaker 2: the football for their offense to work effectively. I think
Speaker 2: it's risky. But with all that said, to circle back
Speaker 2: to the MVP thing, the Chiefs are going to at worst,
Speaker 2: pardon me, be thirteen and four. Sound like I'm choked up,
Speaker 2: but I just lost my voice. We can have a
Speaker 2: bit of a call. Hold on at worst to be
Speaker 2: thirteen and four and likely be fourteen and three at
Speaker 2: worst be the three seed, almost assuredly though the one
Speaker 2: or the two seeds, and the team right now does
Speaker 2: not look that great, So how can that be true?
Speaker 2: Because of the guy they have playing quarterback, who also,
Speaker 2: by the way, happens to I just want to let
Speaker 2: you because in years it's sometimes it's like, Okay, yes
Speaker 2: we know he's the best player, but he's not having
Speaker 2: the best season right now. In the NFL passing yards,
Speaker 2: Mahomes forty five hundred, Herbert in second place four thousand.
Speaker 2: That's five hundred clear of second place. Touchdowns Mahomes thirty five,
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow thirty one. That's four clear of second place.
Speaker 2: Passer rating Mahomes right now one oh five. That is
Speaker 2: behind only Gino and Tua, neither of whom are exactly
Speaker 2: in the MVP race. And if you like ESPN's QBR,
Speaker 2: Mahomes is at eighty. No one else is at seventy two.
Speaker 2: So he has the numbers, he has the eye test,
Speaker 2: he has the success. He's the league MVP, unless, of course.
Speaker 3: They play the Chargers.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I mean they're two to zero against the Chargers.
Speaker 3: No, not the Bills. I'm talking about are you at
Speaker 3: all nervous that Mahomes will have to play the Chargers
Speaker 3: a game for a third time in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think they will though. Right now, the
Speaker 2: Chargers are the seven seed and the Chiefs are the
Speaker 2: two seed. But even if the Chiefs stay the two seed,
Speaker 2: the Chargers, I believe, are gonna get all the way
Speaker 2: to the five line. So that here's the thing for
Speaker 2: the Chargers right now. Yes, the Chargers of the seventh
Speaker 2: seed or the sixth seed actually is where the Chargers
Speaker 2: are right now, so they wouldn't even have to plame
Speaker 2: right now. But what the Chargers have left is Colts, Rams, Broncos.
Speaker 2: So I don't think the Chargers are losing again. I
Speaker 2: think they're gonna get all the way to the five line.
Speaker 2: And hey, my preseason conference title game, if you remember,
Speaker 2: was Chiefs Chargers. The Chargers are eight and six, but
Speaker 2: three of those losses came to the Chiefs and Niners
Speaker 2: by a combined ten points. So I think they're an
Speaker 2: excellent team and a super scary team. I don't want
Speaker 2: to have to play the Chargers again, but the playoffs
Speaker 2: are hard. And what I was saying though, is Mahome's
Speaker 2: the MVP, unless, of course, this guy wins it. Demonse,
Speaker 2: what are we talking about here, oh Demonstra, Okay, let
Speaker 2: me all right listen. I now have to tell the
Speaker 2: audience it's gonna wait till Friday. Demons made a five
Speaker 2: team ten point teaser for way more money than he
Speaker 2: ever should have, because it felt like one of those
Speaker 2: how does it lose? Did every Legue hit except for
Speaker 2: this one?
Speaker 3: It did end up point? Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay, so every Legue hit except he had Dallas plus
Speaker 2: five and Dallas was up I think seventeen in this
Speaker 2: game at one point, and then had the ball in overtime,
Speaker 2: and again he's got Dallas plus five and Dak throws
Speaker 2: a pick six and they lose by six.
Speaker 3: Cincinnati game almost cheered me.
Speaker 2: Up at first, but then they collapsed. That's so Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: He had the Bengals plus six or something as the
Speaker 2: last leg of it, but it was dead already and
Speaker 2: they were down seventeen to nothing, and I was watching
Speaker 2: it thinking the same thing. I'm like, oh, you'll feel better.
Speaker 2: It was just a bad bet. But no, the Bengals
Speaker 2: came strong. Yes, so Demnse faded the Prince That was
Speaker 2: promised in a ten unit wager, which you shouldn't be
Speaker 2: making ten unit wagers. But he did and he lost,
Speaker 2: and that's bad. But now let's talk about the prince
Speaker 2: that was promised.
Speaker 3: If the Prince that was promised defeated America's teams, that
Speaker 3: mean that he's the new King of the States.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use that line on TV. That's a great line.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Okay, Trevor Lawrence and the Jags mounted and
Speaker 3: impressed him comeback against the Cowboys. Will disregard the fact
Speaker 3: that Lawrence fumbled it under two minutes and the defense
Speaker 3: was the one who scored the game winning touchdown and
Speaker 3: overtime Dag's dagger interception left What's Right Executive producer slash
Speaker 3: Cowboys fan Kara asking for Cooper rushback. Okay, you've been
Speaker 3: claiming Lawrence is a top ten quarterback. Care to put
Speaker 3: your money where your mouth is and bet the Jags
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Okay, I literally already did bet the Jacksmith playoffs before
Speaker 2: the year. That bet is very alive. I think the
Speaker 2: Jags are gonna be the four seed. I think the
Speaker 2: Jags are gonna run the Titans down. They've already beaten
Speaker 2: them once. So the Jags and by the way, just
Speaker 2: some fun facts for you guys over the last let
Speaker 2: me look since week nine, since week nine, we just
Speaker 2: had week fifteen, where do you think Trevor Lawrence ranks
Speaker 2: in the NFL and passer rating?
Speaker 3: Give it a guess or fifth.
Speaker 2: First, where do you think Trevor Lawrence?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he does have like seventeen straight touchdowns in
Speaker 3: like one interception.
Speaker 2: Where do you think he ranks in completion percentage since
Speaker 2: week nine? Let's give it a guest. Second, First, where
Speaker 2: do you think he ranks in a touchdown interception ratio
Speaker 2: since weeknight?
Speaker 3: Definitely?
Speaker 2: And they're four and two and the Jags. So here's
Speaker 2: where we're at with the Jags, the six and eight Jags.
Speaker 2: They are at the Jets next week, then home for
Speaker 2: the Texans revenge game because they lost them, and then
Speaker 2: I'm sorry at the Texans on home for the Texans,
Speaker 2: and then home for the Titans. Okay, that's where they're
Speaker 2: a game back of Tennessee. Tennessee gets the Texans this week.
Speaker 2: Frisky Texans looking for a win, almost beat the Cowboys,
Speaker 2: almost beat the Chiefs. Then the Titans are home for
Speaker 2: the Cowboys and then the Jaguars. The Jaguars are making
Speaker 2: the playoffs, they're winning that division. They are very alive.
Speaker 2: That was a great win by them, a great performance
Speaker 2: by Trevor. And of course he's a top ten quarterback.
Speaker 2: There's no there is no argument against him being a
Speaker 2: top ten quarterback. Let me give the most the most
Speaker 2: what's the word, give him the least benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 2: As far as quarterbacks, Okay, any quarterback who might be
Speaker 2: better than him, will call better than him. Deal Mahomes, Burrow,
Speaker 2: Herbert Allen, Hurts, who else? Honestly, who am I forgetting?
Speaker 2: As far as guys who are like have an argument
Speaker 2: Tua throw Tua now we're at six two is better
Speaker 2: than him? But throw to a Lamar. I I don't
Speaker 2: think Lamar is better than him. Throw Lamar now we're
Speaker 2: at seven. Who else? Kirk Cousins, No chance Kirk Cousins
Speaker 2: is better than him. But say kirk Cousins, now we're
Speaker 2: at eight. That's it. That's it. So at worst he's ninth,
Speaker 2: and he's really closer to like fifth or sixth. Already
Speaker 2: in year two with the Jaguars. The Cowboys, on the
Speaker 2: other hand, they do have a Dak Prescott turnover problem.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just no way around it. This is though,
Speaker 2: but the previous one was though. That's the problem. So
Speaker 2: I understand that turnover not being his fault. But they're
Speaker 2: up twenty seven to seventeen with the ball in late
Speaker 2: in the third quarter in their own inside their own
Speaker 2: twenty and Dak throws a terrible pick and it opens
Speaker 2: the door to the Jaguars comeback, and then in overtime.
Speaker 2: I understand that's not excuse me, sorry, guys, that's not
Speaker 2: entirely his fault, but that it's bad man. And I listen,
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk a lot about the Cowboys on TV today.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys aren't really a big one of our podcast topics.
Speaker 2: It's we now know, well, we know the Cowboys are
Speaker 2: gonna be the five seeds. They blew their chance at
Speaker 2: running down the Eagles. There was a chance around three
Speaker 2: point thirty pm yesterday that the Cowboys were gonna beat
Speaker 2: the Jags. They were up seventeen and the Eagles were
Speaker 2: in a dogfight with the Bears. Right that the Bears
Speaker 2: were gonna win that game. The Cowboys were going to
Speaker 2: hold on against the Jaguars. And in addition to Demonsay
Speaker 2: not having to go get a third job, what would
Speaker 2: have also been the case was the Cowboys Eagles would
Speaker 2: have been playing next week for first place in the
Speaker 2: division on the line, and the Eagles could have dropped
Speaker 2: all the way to the five seed. Now, the only
Speaker 2: way the Cowboys win the division is if they go
Speaker 2: three and oh and Philly goes zero to three, which
Speaker 2: is not gonna happen. So the Cowboys are basically locked
Speaker 2: into the five seed, which means they are going to
Speaker 2: be on the road in Tampa, a team that beat
Speaker 2: them nineteen to three earlier this year. And I understand
Speaker 2: how bad Tampa looks, but that's still on the road
Speaker 2: against Tom Brady in the first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Is not a spot you want to be in. And
Speaker 2: that's the spot I believe the Cowboys are going to
Speaker 2: find themselves. So all right, I was right about Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: There is no denying I was right about Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: I've been right about basically by the way, all the
Speaker 2: quarter this year. Oh what what, go ahead?
Speaker 3: Nothing. I'm not so sure that this Cowboys game holds
Speaker 3: a lot of weight. Man, get four touchdown is almost
Speaker 3: lost to the Texans.
Speaker 2: I'm see. So here's the thing about this, guys. The
Speaker 2: NFL is hard and this is what I don't think
Speaker 2: people understand. So this weekend, the Eagles, who have the
Speaker 2: best record in football, beat the Bears in a five
Speaker 2: point slug fest. The Bears have the second worst record
Speaker 2: in football, and the Chiefs, who have the second best
Speaker 2: record in football tied, beat the Texans in an overtime slugfest.
Speaker 2: The Texans have the worst record in football. There there
Speaker 2: are a lot of clo it's there. It's not college
Speaker 2: football where you just have a walkover game. And the
Speaker 2: Jags are fighting for their lives. And it was in Jacksonville,
Speaker 2: a tough game. Now, you shouldn't be blowing a seventeen
Speaker 2: point lead to anybody. That's a tough game. And and
Speaker 2: we even saw that the Bucks, who will talk about later,
Speaker 2: who've looked awful for two months, play really well for
Speaker 2: a half and be up seventeen nothing on Cincinnati before
Speaker 2: it all fell apart. NFL's hard man, the idea that
Speaker 2: we're gonna crush teams for close victories, that the Chargers
Speaker 2: are awesome and they've won almost as many of the
Speaker 2: as they've they've lost almost as many as they've won.
Speaker 2: The league's hard. It's hard to run up a lot
Speaker 2: of victories. It's why I probably should be giving the
Speaker 2: Eagles more credit than I've given them throughout the year,
Speaker 2: because thirteen and one is thirteen and damn one. We'll
Speaker 2: talk about the Eagles, will talk about Anthony Davis's latest injury,
Speaker 2: which is just crushing all that's next What's Right?

Speaker 2: All Right, welcome back in What's Right with Nick Rid
Speaker 2: Episode one oh seven. We'll get back to the NFL
Speaker 2: and play a naughty or nice game in the holiday
Speaker 2: season in just a moment, But first there's some basketball news.
Speaker 2: Oh and also, by the way, don't forget uh to
Speaker 2: drop some questions in the chat for our c block
Speaker 2: for our next segment. All right, Demons, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis has been dominant for the Lakers this season, obviously,
Speaker 3: but a collision with Jokic has now sidelined him indefinitely
Speaker 3: with a foot injury. Can the Lakers keep up their
Speaker 3: comeback without him? And how does this effect Lebron's playoff hopes?
Speaker 2: All right, this is obviously devastating for the Lakers, and
Speaker 2: you feel terribly for Anthony Davis, But at this point
Speaker 2: you do have to raise the question, like is his
Speaker 2: body just not built for this? I mean, these are
Speaker 2: this isn't like a workout more be in better shape,
Speaker 2: soft tissue type of injury. It's just I don't want
Speaker 2: to call them fluke injuries, but they feel kind of
Speaker 2: fluke ish. But now it's a foot, which is always scary.
Speaker 2: Now we're talking about a month plus when the Lakers
Speaker 2: have looked really good lately and Lebron, Ever, Lebron started
Speaker 2: the year just shooting terribly. Then he missed a little
Speaker 2: bit of time with a groin, I think it was.
Speaker 2: And since he came back he has been absolutely sensational.
Speaker 2: He just tied Michael Jordan's record for most consecutive thirty
Speaker 2: point games by someone who's thirty seven with four. He'll
Speaker 2: probably break it in their next game because without a
Speaker 2: d he's gonna have to take on more of the
Speaker 2: scoring load. And he turns thirty eight here in on
Speaker 2: December thirtieth. He and Tiger Woods have the same birthday.
Speaker 2: And he's playing sensationally, so Lebron on the season is
Speaker 2: now at twenty seven points, nine rebounds, seven assists, twenty
Speaker 2: seven nine and seven for Guy in year twenty two,
Speaker 2: playing thirty six minutes a night, and after starting the
Speaker 2: year shooting the worst of his career, he's now gotten
Speaker 2: the field goal percentage up to almost fifty and the
Speaker 2: three point percentage north of thirty to a respectable number.
Speaker 2: He will probably end the season around thirty four percent?
Speaker 2: Is it like thirty two percent right now? Which is
Speaker 2: why with ad and with a small trade like Beverly
Speaker 2: and none and a pick for Boyan Bogdanovitch that I
Speaker 2: propose those three weeks ago on TV and then Shams
Speaker 2: reported the Lakers were actually thinking of that exact trade.
Speaker 2: This team seemed more than viable. Now some people are
Speaker 2: gonna make the argument with the AD injury. Excuse me,
Speaker 2: I apologize guys. With the AD injury, you should not
Speaker 2: trade a future pick to salvage this team. I thoroughly
Speaker 2: disagree with that, because it's not a season ending injury
Speaker 2: for AD, and you can just keep your fingers crossed
Speaker 2: that he's gonna be healthy for the playoffs. Lebron has
Speaker 2: been out of this world. So with Lebron and AD,
Speaker 2: you have two of the fifteen best players in the sport,
Speaker 2: right That's what you've got to start with from them,
Speaker 2: and then you have to make the decision. Do you
Speaker 2: want to make a small move like the one that
Speaker 2: I discussed Beverly and Nunn and a pick for or
Speaker 2: a good but not great player, or do you want
Speaker 2: to take advantage of the fact that a team such
Speaker 2: as Chicago. No, no, no, no, I'm not trading AD, but
Speaker 2: I'm about trading Ross and multiple picks. No no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm not trading Anthony Davis. But a team such as
Speaker 2: Chicago that's eleven and eighteen and it has fallen apart
Speaker 2: for them, that they might be willing to move off
Speaker 2: Tomato Rosen or Zach Levine or a team like Toronto
Speaker 2: that it's in the midst of falling apart for them.
Speaker 2: Would they be willing to move off of I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to move off of Siakam,
Speaker 2: but I would call about it and see if they
Speaker 2: want to start the whole thing over and see if
Speaker 2: you can make a major, major move, though I'm not
Speaker 2: sure what right now what I think the best path is.
Speaker 2: I think the best path there's probably Beverly Nun and
Speaker 2: a pick for a shooter, a guy like Boyon Bogdanovic,
Speaker 2: who I've talked about quite a bit. Some people have
Speaker 2: argued Terry Rogier. I'm not a huge Terry Rogier guy.
Speaker 2: But the idea that because Ad is hurt, you now
Speaker 2: just say, okay, this season's lost, that is ignoring the
Speaker 2: facts that right now the West is totally in flux
Speaker 2: because Steph is out for a month ish and the
Speaker 2: Warriors are a game ahead of you. So think about
Speaker 2: how bad the Lakers have been thirteen and sixteen. The
Speaker 2: Warriors are only fifteen and sixteen. At the top of
Speaker 2: the conference is Memphis New Orleans. Young teams that I
Speaker 2: feel like you would feel like if you got in
Speaker 2: a playoff series with you would have a real shot
Speaker 2: because of experience and maturity. Denver is lurking with Jokids
Speaker 2: playing the best basketball of his life. Credit to him,
Speaker 2: he's been sensational. Phoenix. I don't fully believe in because
Speaker 2: I think they will need Chris Paul and I'm not
Speaker 2: sure Chris Paul is making it through one hundred games.
Speaker 2: And then what are we talking about the Clippers when
Speaker 2: we don't know if why is playing? The West is
Speaker 2: so wide open when you have Lebron and when you
Speaker 2: had Ad who will be back playing at the level
Speaker 2: he was playing at. I don't think you can punt
Speaker 2: on the season and leaving the roster as is where
Speaker 2: Lonnie Walker's your third or fourth best player is punting
Speaker 2: on the season. All right, what game we play?
Speaker 3: All right? We're playing a new game called natty or nice.
Speaker 3: Getting a little festive with it. Yep, we have a
Speaker 3: new holiday. Okay, No, I'm not reading that. So I
Speaker 3: will read you a topic or a scenario, and you
Speaker 3: will decide whether the person or thing we're discussing deserves
Speaker 3: presence or call in their stockings. Okay, one of the
Speaker 3: most dramatic World Cup finals ever concluded in penalty kicks.
Speaker 3: Why not golden goal? Imagine I'm back and forth. NBA
Speaker 3: five Finals Game seven ending in a free throw competition?
Speaker 3: Are penalty kicks naughty or nice?
Speaker 2: Well, they're a necessary evil, So I'm gonna call them
Speaker 2: nice because here's the here's the deal, and this is
Speaker 2: what we because once upon a time, the war in
Speaker 2: the early nineties, the World Cup and international soccer did
Speaker 2: move to a golden goal format instead of the full
Speaker 2: thirty minutes of extra time, and what it ended up
Speaker 2: creating was teams played incredibly conservative in order to not
Speaker 2: allow that goal and to end up getting two penalty kicks. So, now,
Speaker 2: if what you're arguing is what we should do is
Speaker 2: thirty minutes of extra time and then if it's still
Speaker 2: tied there, then keep going after the thirty minutes of
Speaker 2: extra time, and that that following time is then in
Speaker 2: the golden goal format, we're now talking about two plus
Speaker 2: more than two hours of soccer, which is not realistic
Speaker 2: from an endurance and a fatigue standpoint. So I understand
Speaker 2: people don't love penalty kicks. But there hasn't been a
Speaker 2: better way to or a more fair way to figure
Speaker 2: this thing out and golden goal. If they would have
Speaker 2: gone to golden goal right after ninety minutes yesterday, we
Speaker 2: would not have gotten the drama of that first messy goal.
Speaker 2: It's not like, Oh, the game would have played out
Speaker 2: the exact same way and then MESSI wins it because
Speaker 2: both teams would have been so much more conservative in
Speaker 2: the in extra time. So I actually think the way
Speaker 2: they do it right now, which is thirty minute overtime
Speaker 2: or extra time that is not in it on golden
Speaker 2: goal and then penalty kicks, is the best way to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, the NFC South is a
Speaker 3: complete mess. Tampa dropped to six and eight, but it's
Speaker 3: still full game ahead of the rest of the division.
Speaker 3: Any team could make the playoffs. Is the NFC South chaos,
Speaker 3: naughty or nice?
Speaker 2: Oh it's naughty, it's terrible. I mean, this is not
Speaker 2: this is not good, and obviously Tampa doesn't deserve to
Speaker 2: host a playoff game. I've long been a believer that
Speaker 2: I think it is smart that the NFL has it
Speaker 2: that winning your division guarantees you a playoff spot because
Speaker 2: since the divisions are only four team divisions, it keeps.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're almost a Christmas and two thirds of
Speaker 2: the league still thinks they're alive for the postseason because
Speaker 2: the expanded playoffs, plus the entire NFC South's alive because
Speaker 2: you win your division, you're in. So I like that
Speaker 2: winning your division guarantees you a playoff spot. I do
Speaker 2: not like that winning your division guarantees you a home
Speaker 2: playoff game. I think that the winner of the NFC
Speaker 2: South should be in, but they should be the seventh seeds.
Speaker 2: They shouldn't be hosting a Cowboys team that's gonna end
Speaker 2: up going twelve and five or thirteen and four. That
Speaker 2: I don't like. But I do like that they get
Speaker 2: a playoff game. I think it's good for the league,
Speaker 2: but I the division as a whole is a mess.
Speaker 2: And by the way, it's gonna come down to Bucks Panthers,
Speaker 2: and the Panthers this weekend got annihilated by Mitch Trubisky.
Speaker 2: So as bad as the Bucks have been, they are
Speaker 2: going to win that division, all right, next go ahead.
Speaker 3: Jeff Saturday had a bad week, but Bill Belichick might
Speaker 3: have been Bill Belichick's might have been worse. Yeah, Former
Speaker 3: Patriot Chandler Jones took a lateral to the house as
Speaker 3: time expired and embarrassed Mac Jones, giving a win to
Speaker 3: former Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Is rudy against Belichick?
Speaker 3: Naughty or nice?
Speaker 2: Well, it's always nice and it's fun. But I want
Speaker 2: to talk about everything that the end of that game.
Speaker 2: So did you see after the game demanse Belichick was
Speaker 2: asked why they didn't just do a Hail Mary, and
Speaker 2: he said, can't throw.
Speaker 3: It that far.
Speaker 2: They were on their own forty five that's fifty five yards,
Speaker 2: saying Mac Jones can't throw at fifty five yards. Now,
Speaker 2: obviously you feel Jones. I mean, well, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: so let's talk about the end of the game and
Speaker 2: let's talk about mac Jones. For me, it was total
Speaker 2: bonehead lack of concentration by Ramandre Stevenson and by Jacoby
Speaker 2: Myers because Romandre Stevenson was the guy who with it
Speaker 2: the first time. He had the short lateral. Jacoby Myers
Speaker 2: had long lateral, and obviously you don't do that in
Speaker 2: a tie game you're going to overtime, you do that
Speaker 2: if you're trailing. So all that happened. Here's the other thing, though,
Speaker 2: Mac Jones, I'm not saying he has to make the tackle.
Speaker 2: He's got to come closer than he did. Chandler. Jones
Speaker 2: did not have some running start. Chandler, you got to
Speaker 2: be an athlete, man. You've got to and I mean hell,
Speaker 2: do anything it takes to get him on the ground
Speaker 2: and see what happens. You've got to try harder than
Speaker 2: you and when you see the balls in the air,
Speaker 2: you've got to run up and try to deflect it.
Speaker 2: He just stood there like he was a fan, like
Speaker 2: he was a fan on the field like that was
Speaker 2: terrible by it. So I understand he shouldn't have been
Speaker 2: in that position, but that was truly awful. Jones and
Speaker 2: mac Jones in that game played the quarterback position as
Speaker 2: poorly as anyone has played it all year without turning
Speaker 2: the ball over, as bad as you can do without
Speaker 2: throwing a pick. He did it. It was like to
Speaker 2: his game the other day against the Chargers. It was
Speaker 2: just like, wait, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: Bro?
Speaker 2: And I mean he had I think he was eleven
Speaker 2: for like twenty six or twenty eight or something for
Speaker 2: barely over one hundred yards. He was whining again they
Speaker 2: have a massive quarterback problem, massive in New England, and
Speaker 2: they're not going to make the playoffs. The Patriots, on
Speaker 2: the other hand, we were talking schedules before. This was
Speaker 2: a game they absolutely had to win because what they
Speaker 2: have the rest of the way home for the Bengals,
Speaker 2: home for the Dolphins at the Bills. So three teams
Speaker 2: that right now are all playoff teams, three teams that
Speaker 2: are all playing for something, and they're a mess. The
Speaker 2: Raiders tried to give up another fourteen point lead and
Speaker 2: the Patriots couldn't take advantage of it. They also, prior
Speaker 2: to all that we're up seven late, they had they
Speaker 2: had the the Raiders in a fourth and ten and
Speaker 2: let them get it, let him get a deep touchdown
Speaker 2: to tie it. I know you didn't have this involved
Speaker 2: in one of your bets, but can you imagine, Demansey,
Speaker 2: if you had the Patriots getting some points and they
Speaker 2: lost in that fashion? Yeah, they they the they're up
Speaker 2: seven with thirty seconds left, they end up giving up
Speaker 2: the touchdown and then instead of just throwing a hail
Speaker 2: Mary to the end zone, do a give up draw
Speaker 2: play to get to overtime and they throw a forty
Speaker 2: yard backwards across the field laterals.
Speaker 3: That's something that they discussed before the play happens, because
Speaker 3: I don't think that's like an impromptu type.
Speaker 2: No, well, all the players said they went row. Okay,
Speaker 2: that they were it.
Speaker 3: Was supposed to just because Jones. No, no, no.
Speaker 2: The whole thing was insane. I mean, Kobe Meyer's play
Speaker 2: was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen because
Speaker 2: even if it's completed, Mac Jones is seventy yards from
Speaker 2: the end zone and it's not like he can throw
Speaker 2: it forward to run, so there was no upside to it.
Speaker 2: And the downside, well, the upside is comedy, I guess.
Speaker 2: All right, next, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Minnesota pulled off the biggest comeback in NFL history,
Speaker 3: or maybe it's a conspiracy. Okay, not to put a
Speaker 3: damp on what the Vikings did, but it isn't the
Speaker 3: best interest of the Colts to tank at this point.
Speaker 3: I wonder if Jim irsay, put a call on a Saturday,
Speaker 3: put in a call it's Jeff Saturday, at havetime to
Speaker 3: have him throw away the game? Is Jeff Saturday's possible
Speaker 3: tank job? Naughty or nice?
Speaker 2: No, this is not what that was. Stop making excuses
Speaker 2: for Jeff Saturday. Okay, since he's taken over for the Colts,
Speaker 2: they have been outscored eighty three to nine in the
Speaker 2: fourth court. And so many of my media colleagues that
Speaker 2: don't have the courage of their convictions after they won
Speaker 2: one game against the woeful Raiders, we're like, oh, I
Speaker 2: guess I owe Jeff Saturday in apology. No, you don't.
Speaker 2: It took him a month to orchestrate the single biggest
Speaker 2: choke job in the history of the NFL. In the
Speaker 2: last two weeks, his teams have been outscored fifty five
Speaker 2: to zero in the fourth quarter. And it is so
Speaker 2: the idea that this is five D chess with the
Speaker 2: Colts just trying to lose games. They wouldn't be building
Speaker 2: these leads or playing this hard throughout. That's not what's happening.
Speaker 2: He's terrible. He looks like a guy who was just
Speaker 2: pulled out of the booth or pulled out of the
Speaker 2: studio to coach games. That's exactly what he is. And
Speaker 2: it is mortifying that he's at the helm of an
Speaker 2: NFL franchise, is making mortifile Yeah, that is true. All right.
Speaker 3: Next, all right, is Russell Wilson, one of us. He
Speaker 3: was an active on Sundays in so earlier last week
Speaker 3: he went to the casino. Some were wondering if this
Speaker 3: is franchise quarterback behavior? Is degenerate Russ, naughty or nice?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Listen, generous general.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Uh, here's here's my question. I want to know
Speaker 2: what casino that was. And I want to know if
Speaker 2: he's in the high Limit room because and we don't
Speaker 2: know that from that picture. Because if he's just at
Speaker 2: some regular casino on the strip and he's just playing
Speaker 2: in the pit with regular people, that's mortifun. It's more
Speaker 2: guys got hundreds of millions.
Speaker 3: Of dollars, nice regular people.
Speaker 2: No, I'm I'm telling you I'd.
Speaker 3: Be one of those regular folks at the casino.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine, though, that's fine if you are a celebrity.
Speaker 2: I want to make it clear the high Limit room
Speaker 2: is not so. The Aria is probably the nicest casino
Speaker 2: in Vegas. Okay, Aria's high Land A room is like
Speaker 2: on a Friday night or a Saturday night, it's not
Speaker 2: like it's ten thousand dollars a hand. It's usually they
Speaker 2: have three hundred or at at worst the smallest table
Speaker 2: they have is five hundred dollars in hand. Okay, So
Speaker 2: the point I'm making is, if you are a wealthy celebrity,
Speaker 2: yes that's where you need to be gambling. It doesn't
Speaker 2: have to be for massive amounts of money. You can
Speaker 2: bring a few thousand dollars with you and have plenty
Speaker 2: of fun and plenty of time in there. But if
Speaker 2: you're just out there playing like three card poker for
Speaker 2: twenty dollars a hand at the Flamingo, that's mortifying and
Speaker 2: can't happen. So I don't have enough information on what
Speaker 2: Russ where Russell Wilson was gambling, or how much he
Speaker 2: was gambling for. But if he's there playing mini bach
Speaker 2: for the thirty five bucks a deal, that's terrible. I
Speaker 2: can't dorset. Now if he's in one of the private
Speaker 2: areas playing thousand dollars a hand blackjack, I might have
Speaker 2: a little more respect for. I don't know what he's doing,
Speaker 2: but the the if we could put that picture up
Speaker 2: one more time, the context clues lead me to believe
Speaker 2: can we go full stream with that? So I don't
Speaker 2: love that there's a slot machine right behind him, I
Speaker 2: got demonte hold on, I got it. No, I've now
Speaker 2: zoomed in. There is a screen right by his head
Speaker 2: that says one dollar bonus jackpot. I think I think
Speaker 2: he's playing out with the with the prolotogtical Wilson's trolling
Speaker 2: everybody at this point. Oh, I don't know, but that
Speaker 2: doesn't look like the high limit room in a nice casino,
Speaker 2: So I don't endorse it all right, last.
Speaker 3: The moon ball, Uh huh, all right, Bill's mafias showed
Speaker 3: their true colors. Put in the put in Dolphin players, pelting,
Speaker 3: pelting Dolphins players on the field and on the sideline
Speaker 3: with snowballs throughout the game Saturday Night. Is Bill's Mafia
Speaker 3: naughty or nice? Okay, so this was obviously naughty. But
Speaker 3: here's the thing that I had the biggest issue with.
Speaker 2: On the Dolphins' first drive, on back to back throws
Speaker 2: into the end zone, one of which was dropped, great
Speaker 2: pass by two one was dropped. Bill's fans were, I guess,
Speaker 2: smartly throwing snowballs into the field of play while the
Speaker 2: game was going. I was shocked the referees let it
Speaker 2: go on without I thought they were gonna redo one
Speaker 2: of the plays. You can't do that.
Speaker 3: See the holidays.
Speaker 2: But I understand it's the holidays. It's first of all,
Speaker 2: it's incredibly dangerous. Second of all, incredibly dangerous. Either ice
Speaker 2: balls snowballs. They're ice balls, though they're not snowballs. They're
Speaker 2: ice balls. The snowballs wouldn't have stayed intact. So the
Speaker 2: only ones that actually stayed intact were like hard and
Speaker 2: they're coming from sixty eighty feet a bush. But more
Speaker 2: but more than someone getting injured, who's wildly distracting. I
Speaker 2: that now they ended up ultimately kind of stopping. They
Speaker 2: got a warning from the refs. I though the refs
Speaker 2: should have taken control of that far earlier. All right,
Speaker 2: we will, we will. People don't like my take, say
Speaker 2: that it's the softest take ever. They're snowballs. Guys, watch
Speaker 2: the Dolphins drive where they drop the touchdown in the
Speaker 2: end zone and they settle for a field goal on
Speaker 2: their final two passes. There are thirty plus snowballs just
Speaker 2: raining down during live action. That's and then of course
Speaker 2: they're not doing it when the Bills have the ball.
Speaker 2: That's not That is not a real home field advantage.
Speaker 2: And Eagles fans got crushed for thirty years for throwing
Speaker 2: batteries onto the field, like this is that? That's not
Speaker 2: a that's that one's not okay. We'll answer your questions,
Speaker 2: even the chat next.
Speaker 3: What are you doing Johnson to try and guard it
Speaker 3: because the gam were going for two.
Speaker 2: We got people watching this game. Man, I am playing
Speaker 2: my real game.
Speaker 3: Chiefs.
Speaker 2: We go for fourst we go for two. Never a doubt,
Speaker 2: Like they said if I scored before that, he was saying,
Speaker 2: I was real quiet. I was out there being surgical.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, hey, I'm not gonna I screwed myself in
Speaker 3: a couple of plays.
Speaker 2: You were on the fourth. That was crazy. So that
Speaker 2: was me and Demonse our first Madden Twitch game on
Speaker 2: Demanse's channel, which is right upside down correct, and Demonse
Speaker 2: started that game off seven to nothing and that game
Speaker 2: ended thirty nine to seven, thirty nine straight points by
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I then got a little cocky and said
Speaker 2: I would randomly select team and I ended up getting
Speaker 2: the box and I threw the game away and lost
Speaker 2: to Demanse, which was one of the most mortifying public
Speaker 2: moments of my life. But I think we should do
Speaker 2: that again soon.
Speaker 3: Oh we got to do a tiebreaker.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean yeah, okay, no, Brahm, Are you still
Speaker 2: going to be the Ravens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna be the Ravens every single time. I
Speaker 3: I might switch it up every once in a while
Speaker 3: and use like the Bengals or something.
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals would be a good idea. I
Speaker 2: think a team with a reliable passing attack would be
Speaker 2: useful for you. I also think here's the deal. I
Speaker 2: think that what so if we're doing an official tiebreaker,
Speaker 2: we can do Ravens Chiefs and I'll roll you. But
Speaker 2: then I'll do random team. You know what.
Speaker 3: I think what. I don't think you're that good at
Speaker 3: Maddon Wow. I think that I'm wow probably better than you.
Speaker 3: But I'd have this tendency to, like when I'm a
Speaker 3: little bit down about like the last possession, I just
Speaker 3: kind of like test stuff out. From that point on,
Speaker 3: it's just like I feel like I can't get back
Speaker 3: in the game. But like when I am like focused
Speaker 3: on when I might throw some picks every one while
Speaker 3: there were a lot of picks. One thing that I
Speaker 3: gotta work on.
Speaker 2: In our two games, you threw ten bills and our
Speaker 2: two games combined, you threw ten on interceptions, which I
Speaker 2: think is part user error and part you use the
Speaker 2: Ravens and Lamar's inaccurate, but you also never run with it.
Speaker 2: It's like, so you get the worst part of Lamar
Speaker 2: and not the best part of Lamar, Like, so be
Speaker 2: the Bills, or be the Bengals, or be the Chargers.
Speaker 3: And feels eerie about using the Bills. Man, it feels
Speaker 3: like I'm cheating. I've never lost the game with the
Speaker 3: Bills that I played it.
Speaker 2: Man, Okay, so be then.
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just out of the Bills is
Speaker 3: two op? Man?
Speaker 2: Okay? All right, well that listen, that's fine.
Speaker 3: I Break is gonna be very interesting.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna win seven consecutive games. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: beat in the tiebreaker using the Chiefs and I'm going
Speaker 2: to destroy you. And then I'm going to go back
Speaker 2: to random teams, okay, and see how many I can
Speaker 2: win with random teams. I didn't, I I got. I
Speaker 2: got out of my own comfort zone with the Bucks,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't you know that. But that's fine. It'll
Speaker 2: be it'll be good. So demand's twitch stream right upside
Speaker 2: down if you want to check turn notifications on guys.
Speaker 2: So you see what I am going on. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: on his Twitch stream and subscribe to us on YouTube.
Speaker 2: That's what this whole thing's for. All right, what are
Speaker 2: the questions from the chat?
Speaker 3: All right, coach Mystica, I said, Demanse, I was watching
Speaker 3: your stream last week and that clock management at the
Speaker 3: end of the at the end of the first half
Speaker 3: was pretty on point. Maybe people weren't joking about you
Speaker 3: replacing Staley. I was telling you about this, what like,
Speaker 3: right before we played the Madden game that like, I
Speaker 3: played this guy on my stream. I said that I
Speaker 3: was going to stream a Madden dub and like I
Speaker 3: forgot what the situation was, but I just ended up
Speaker 3: driving down on the field scoring and the guy got
Speaker 3: the ball with no time. Oh that's zero seconds.
Speaker 2: So that listen, I will say this about our stream
Speaker 2: you and there there is a certain way to play
Speaker 2: Madden that is not fun to watch and not fun
Speaker 2: to participate in, which is people essentially start wasting the
Speaker 2: clock mid third quarter. Yeah, you and I kind of
Speaker 2: have a gentleman's agreement to do more realistic clock management,
Speaker 2: which is until there's four minutes left in the game.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna start wasting the clock because NFL teams
Speaker 2: wouldn't actually do that. These are six minute quarters. But
Speaker 2: when you're playing a stranger, when you're playing online, oh,
Speaker 2: messing with them with the clock is the greatest.
Speaker 3: It's so annoying.
Speaker 2: Oh it's Oh, I'm sure it's annoying. But it's one
Speaker 2: of the reasons I don't I demansa. You beating me
Speaker 2: might have been the first time I've lost in Madden
Speaker 2: in years. I can't remember the last.
Speaker 3: Time I lost.
Speaker 2: About it, I'm I And by the way, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I'm not actually that good at the gameplay, like making
Speaker 2: people mass or like making tackles, But my strategy is
Speaker 2: so one hundred out of one hundred perfect. I just
Speaker 2: always have the perfect play call for every situation. It's
Speaker 2: kind of idiot. It's gotten. It kind of doesn't matter
Speaker 2: that I'm not that great at the actual game play.
Speaker 3: We'll say about that next. Matt Ford asked, does Nick
Speaker 3: think Mahomes would have would have been able to tackle
Speaker 3: Chandler Jones?
Speaker 2: Of course, okay, of course that was that was not
Speaker 2: a hard tackle. I mean, just hold onto his legs.
Speaker 3: It's like grabbed his waistband.
Speaker 2: I mean, he just he didn't even try.
Speaker 3: It looked like he was playing with like an eighth grader.
Speaker 2: It was Mahomes would have run up when the balls
Speaker 2: in the air got flattened, yeah, but it would have
Speaker 2: at least slowed him down or been a contested catch.
Speaker 2: There was no time left. All you have to do
Speaker 2: is get him on the ground. And by the way,
Speaker 2: Chandler Jones, if you watch the play, Chandler Jones and
Speaker 2: his teammate thought he was gonna get tackled because his
Speaker 2: teammate was coming alongside him to take the ball from him.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought was gonna happen, that Mac Jones
Speaker 2: was gonna get him. Chandler was gonna hand it to
Speaker 2: his teammate who wasn't gonna run. But instead Mac just
Speaker 2: got pushed down to the core of the earth.
Speaker 3: It seemed like the guy like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: I don't even think Chandler Jones thought he was gonna
Speaker 3: get tackled. That was like a disrespectful stiff.
Speaker 2: Arm the whole like so fun. So when I tell
Speaker 2: you guys something, don't tweet to Kevin Wilde's about this.
Speaker 2: But I've I've got something playing for the TV show
Speaker 2: today that might drive wild insane, which is I'm going
Speaker 2: to throughout the show when we're doing different topics and
Speaker 2: different segments, say uh like, So, for example, we're talking
Speaker 2: about the prince that was promised Trevor Lawrence, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be like, let me show you this throw from him yesterday,
Speaker 2: and the video we're gonna run is just gonna be
Speaker 2: Mac Jones getting and that's where good. I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: do it throughout the entire ninety minute show. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: keep calling like we're gonna be talking mahomes should he
Speaker 2: be MVP. I'm like, let me show you this moment
Speaker 2: fast and it's just gonna be that play. And I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do it until until Wilds can't handle it anymore.
Speaker 2: All right? Next?
Speaker 3: All right, Colin conne ass could Mac Jones throw a
Speaker 3: snowball fifty five yards?
Speaker 2: Can't throw football fifty five yards? Next?
Speaker 3: Alex Alex dumb Ay, Alex Dume said, is that you are?
Speaker 3: That's a dum? Alex de May said, Nick, I know
Speaker 3: you said you would go to Brazil, but now that
Speaker 3: argent But now that Argentina would you also consider visiting
Speaker 3: Argentina now that Argentina won.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, well, listen that video from BuNos Ares looked unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Did you see that in our group chat demanse check.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the skyview right? Yeah, yeah, that looked unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I'd love to go to Argentina. I think I'm locked
Speaker 2: in to the Brazil trip. Uh, but I'd love to
Speaker 2: go to Argentina at some point, no doubt.
Speaker 3: All right, last, all right, Gabe, good one as who
Speaker 3: maintains their goat status longer? Tom Brady or Tom Cruise.
Speaker 3: The answer is obvious. But you have a cruise blind spot,
Speaker 3: so you may screw this up.
Speaker 2: What do you mean I have a cruise blind spot?
Speaker 3: You aren't really feeling the Top Gun Maverick movie.
Speaker 2: Well, well, I haven't seen Top Gun Maverick yet.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: I know Gabe's gonna be upset about that, But the
Speaker 2: Mission Gospel Series.
Speaker 3: Is my freaking great ad for a movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Mission Imbospel Series is my favorite movie
Speaker 2: series ever. Tom Cruise is one of my favorite actors ever.
Speaker 2: Gabe just doesn't like that. I don't like those cheesy
Speaker 2: eighties movies like Point Break and Top Gun, the Original
Speaker 2: and those things. Uh, but the answer is Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise the greatest action movie storry of our time.
Speaker 2: And Tom Brady's time is ending and Mahomes gonna catch him.
Speaker 2: So Tom Tom Brady keeps.
Speaker 3: The Cruise is the best what the best action actor
Speaker 3: of action? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Who? The only other person who was like in continent
Speaker 2: with them was Smith, but now Will Smith's on probation.
Speaker 2: Who else would it be? Denzel Different? So that's it.
Speaker 2: Denzel I think is the greatest act arguably the greatest
Speaker 2: actor of our generation and does do action movies. But
Speaker 2: that's not all.
Speaker 3: He just equalizer and Equalizer two up up against any time.
Speaker 2: You know they're coming out with an Equalizer three and no,
Speaker 2: the mission impossibles are better than equalizers. I guess Keanu
Speaker 2: Reeves would have an argument because of Matrix and John
Speaker 2: Wick movies, and Liam Neeson would have an argument for
Speaker 2: just playing the same character in like nine Taken Guy
Speaker 2: the guy from Taking, but no Cruise Cruse unbelievable and
Speaker 2: Brady's gonna get caught by Mahomes. All right, there's a show.
Speaker 2: We will see you guys on Thursday around the same
Speaker 2: very time I'll see you on TV in a few hours.
Speaker 2: Happy holidays, everybody. What's right
