Speaker 2: Welcome in What'll Drive with Nick Wright Episode two sixty seven,
Speaker 2: a huge show, also the final podcast I'll be doing
Speaker 2: in my thirties, as I'm not having a real existential
Speaker 2: crisis about that, but uh, I am really just wrong.
Speaker 2: If my hair looks wet, it's because I did more
Speaker 2: triathlon training this morning, as I've just decided to throw
Speaker 2: myself in full full feet first, head first. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure into that to maybe distract me from the fact
Speaker 2: that I'm about to be forty years old. But such
Speaker 2: as life demand's's here. We have a show with enough
Speaker 2: topics for two days worth of shows, so let's get
Speaker 2: right into it. Here's what missed the cut. There were
Speaker 2: two Monday night football games last night. We don't blame
Speaker 2: you if you missed one of them. The Titans demolished
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. Also, two legends in sport pass away yesterday
Speaker 2: to Kembe Mutombo, one of the greatest defensive players in
Speaker 2: basketball history and one of the league's greatest humanitarians passes
Speaker 2: away and Pete Rose the all time hit king and
Speaker 2: obviously a controversial figure in sports and the subject of
Speaker 2: maybe the longest standing sports radio debate segment in history,
Speaker 2: which is should Pete roseby in the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 2: They both passed away thoughts and prayers if you're the
Speaker 2: prayer full type, to their families and loved ones, and
Speaker 2: speaking of baseball for the first time since I'm trying
Speaker 2: to think about it, if this is accurate, I I
Speaker 2: think the Royals. I think we were a day away
Speaker 2: for me going my entire thirties without the Royals making
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Well, no, that's not true, because they won
Speaker 2: the World Series when I was thirty one, but almost
Speaker 2: damn close to it. So is ten years ago. They
Speaker 2: made the playoffs, they make it again that game. Yeah. That,
Speaker 2: by the way, Demons, is that Royals game. First pitch
Speaker 2: is at four o'clock. My TV show does not end
Speaker 2: until five o'clock. So that means two things. One is,
Speaker 2: today's not exactly this week really sadly not going to
Speaker 2: be what we call a ratings bonanza on television when
Speaker 2: we are going to every single day be up against
Speaker 2: live playoff baseball. That's a bit of a bummer. But
Speaker 2: the other thing is this second hour of the show,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, I'm gonna be flat distracted.
Speaker 2: I'm if you see me glancing down, I'm probably not
Speaker 2: looking at my notes. I'm gonna be looking at the
Speaker 2: little like, oh, how the Royals do it? Because if
Speaker 2: they win. If they win, demonsay, they play the Yankees,
Speaker 2: which means I could go to a bunch of those
Speaker 2: games and so and I think they're gonna be the.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: So that well, eventually seven Wildcard round best of three,
Speaker 2: all in Baltimore, so two out of three in Baltimore,
Speaker 2: Divisional round best of five, the aln NLCS, you know,
Speaker 2: the third round essentially best of seven and World Series
Speaker 2: of course best of seven. So yeah, back in the back,
Speaker 2: before I was born to Monsey, it was just the
Speaker 2: World Series. There'd be the regular season. Whoever wins each
Speaker 2: league plays in the World Series. Yeah, that's it. It
Speaker 2: was just one seven game series then of it, right,
Speaker 2: but that was before I was born. Then they added
Speaker 2: the Championship Series where it was the two best teams
Speaker 2: in each league, the American and National League, play a
Speaker 2: best of seven to get to the World Series. And
Speaker 2: then in my lifetime, they added the wild Card, which
Speaker 2: was very controversial at the time and people didn't like it,
Speaker 2: and then they have since added more wild card teams
Speaker 2: to it. Baseball forever, the playoffs was just the World Series,
Speaker 2: and then for a long time, the playoffs was just
Speaker 2: the four teams that the best do in each league.
Speaker 2: And then for the majority of my life, it was
Speaker 2: six teams. Are the No, for the majority of my life,
Speaker 2: pardon me, it was eight teams, and now it's expanded
Speaker 2: all the way to twelve teams. All right, there's your
Speaker 2: baseball coverage. I think that might be our first baseball
Speaker 2: coverage of the year. The playoffs start today. All right,
Speaker 2: let's get the football go ahead.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, so you predicted the Ravens were going to
Speaker 4: take care of business versus the Bills, but said that
Speaker 4: you were thought that it would be obvious that Kansas
Speaker 4: City was still the number one team in the league.
Speaker 4: But now Kansas City might be down their top three
Speaker 4: weapons with Rashi Rice going down to that Mahomes hit,
Speaker 4: with signs of the cracks starting to show, do you
Speaker 4: think it's time for everybody else to get a leg
Speaker 4: up on the Chiefs just now to get them?
Speaker 3: Is this a time to get them?
Speaker 2: So? I don't like, I don't see another team that
Speaker 2: right now, even without Rashi, And by the way, little
Speaker 2: Birdie told me might not be a torn ACL. The
Speaker 2: fact that we are now to Tuesday morning and they
Speaker 2: still don't know, and it's legitimate they don't know, there
Speaker 2: is what I would call a glimmer, more than a glimmer,
Speaker 2: some amount of hope that this is not a season
Speaker 2: ending injury for Rashi. It still could be, but the
Speaker 2: ACL tearror is usually pretty straightforward, and they know it now.
Speaker 2: It still could be that. But the fact that they
Speaker 2: don't know it definitively yet means there is some level
Speaker 2: of optimism is too strong of a word. Holding out
Speaker 2: some hope that maybe he comes back at some point
Speaker 2: this year. But listen, the Chiefs right now are without
Speaker 2: the guys they projected to be. They're number one and
Speaker 2: number two receivers to start the year, Rashi Rice and
Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown. Their number one running back Kelsey. Everyone in
Speaker 2: the sports world was telling me was washed and distracted
Speaker 2: and out of shape. I didn't buy it. And they've
Speaker 2: bingched their starting left tackle and Mahomes isn't playing his
Speaker 2: best ball, and they're four and zero in the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl favorites. So here's what I'm gonna say on the
Speaker 2: chief side. Then we'll get to the Bill's Ravens piece
Speaker 2: of it. Right now, the Chief's running back room is
Speaker 2: as follows. A guy that the Cleveland Browns who stink
Speaker 2: didn't want any more in Kareem Hunt, a guy who
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos whose stink cut outright a month ago
Speaker 2: in Smaship Ryan, and an undrafted kid in Carson Steele
Speaker 2: who God love him, but his own family they scheduled
Speaker 2: a wedding for Sunday in the fall while he was
Speaker 2: a senior in college, so they didn't exactly think he
Speaker 2: had big NFL plans. That's the running back room. The
Speaker 2: receiver room is a rookie who weighs one hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty five pounds, a guy in McCole Hardman who the
Speaker 2: Jets didn't want any more, a guy in Juju Smith
Speaker 2: Schuster who the Patriots didn't want any more, and Justin Watson,
Speaker 2: a fifth year guy from Penn That's the receiver room,
Speaker 2: and the tight end room has the oldest skill position
Speaker 2: player in the league in Travis Kelsey. I saw that
Speaker 2: to say this, if Patrick Mahomes wills a top ten
Speaker 2: offense out of that group and an en route to
Speaker 2: finishing off the first three peat in NFL history, grand opening,
Speaker 2: grand closing of the goat debate, throw your seven in
Speaker 2: the track like argument away, don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2: If they pull off a three peat under these circumstances
Speaker 2: and in the guys first seven years, it's four rings,
Speaker 2: two MVPs with Tyreek without Tyreek, with high flying offenses
Speaker 2: without it, that's the best football player we've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Can they do it? Right now? They're the best team.
Speaker 2: And right now they're the best team despite their offensive
Speaker 2: struggles because the defense has just gotten better and better
Speaker 2: and better since the defense started being a legitimate weapon
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs. In late twenty twenty two, the Chiefs
Speaker 2: are twenty five and zero when Patrick Mahomes has a
Speaker 2: quarterback rating of at least eighty eighty is not good.
Speaker 2: That Bengals game in Week two that I said might
Speaker 2: be the worst game he'd ever played, his quarterback rating
Speaker 2: was eighty point six. So as long as they're one
Speaker 2: in six, when Mahomes plays dreadful and twenty five and zero,
Speaker 2: if the passer rating is eighty or above, that's going
Speaker 2: to be a very difficult team to beat. Now to Baltimore,
Speaker 2: Buffalo that game, don't I don't know why, and I
Speaker 2: couldn't explain it, And I was glad you didn't include
Speaker 2: Buffalo in your teas. By the way, we buried the lead.
Speaker 2: I know, Thursday's the gambling show, but a tease winner.
Speaker 2: And by the way, no asterisks applied. Because you're the
Speaker 2: chief side, you were like, I don't know which side
Speaker 2: I want to do on that, the plus fourteen or
Speaker 2: the pick them. Either one would have won, either one,
Speaker 2: whichever one you would have gone with. You ended up
Speaker 2: going with the Chiefs pick them, but either one would
Speaker 2: have won. No, So that means they just half points,
Speaker 2: so they can be a valuable half point. But that's right.
Speaker 2: That means it was priced in that they believed he
Speaker 2: was playing. But either way, you had that and you
Speaker 2: had Tampa. Tampa wins outright, the Chiefs win by seven.
Speaker 2: So great teaser by you rode back to five hundred salutations, sir.
Speaker 2: But what I was gonna say is a very very
Speaker 2: popular have you did you hear the stant demons about
Speaker 2: in the regular season how many games the Bills had
Speaker 2: gone in a row without losing by more than six.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy, And it was like the last two
Speaker 4: or three years or something like that that it's been
Speaker 4: since they.
Speaker 2: The Bills had played forty four games without losing by
Speaker 2: more than six points before that Ravens game this weekend
Speaker 2: or Sunday night, which is insanity. Now in the middle
Speaker 2: of that is a playoff game they lost by see.
Speaker 2: But we're talking in regular season, so a very popular
Speaker 2: The reason I bring that up is they were getting
Speaker 2: two and a half, so you could tease them up
Speaker 2: to plus eight and a half and for a team
Speaker 2: that hasn't been beaten by eight, right, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: and so but that was a super popular teaser leg
Speaker 2: so you avoided that, so good for you. There. The
Speaker 2: here is, I think the Bills are really good. My
Speaker 2: concern with Buffalo, I'm gonna tell you my three concerns
Speaker 2: and those are and by the way, only having three
Speaker 2: concerns is less than most teams. And you guys, notice
Speaker 2: I have been very kind, isn't the word honest? As
Speaker 2: I always am about Buffalo this year. I think that's
Speaker 2: a really good team. And I think the demise of
Speaker 2: the Bills was greatly overstated this summer, and I think,
Speaker 2: and as proven out by the year thus far, the
Speaker 2: smoke that people were giving on the Jets was baffling.
Speaker 2: The idea that the Jets week one before the season
Speaker 2: kicked off, the Jets were the AFC's favorites was so
Speaker 2: it was ridiculous on the Jets end and insulting the Buffalo.
Speaker 2: But here's my three Bills concerns, and quickly, one is
Speaker 2: when they play legitimate defenses, can those receivers get open
Speaker 2: like that? We saw those receivers be able to do
Speaker 2: enough in their first few games of the year, but
Speaker 2: you played Arizona, who's not a real defense, Jacksonville and Miami.
Speaker 2: So three of the weaker defenses in the league. Baltimore's
Speaker 2: defense hadn't been great up until this point, but they're
Speaker 2: better than those teams than you saw them struggle. So
Speaker 2: that's concern number one. Concern Number two for Buffalo is
Speaker 2: they're all defense. Do they have the personnel to slow
Speaker 2: down legitimate passing game or not passing games? Pardon me,
Speaker 2: the opposite of that legitimate rushing attacks in the league,
Speaker 2: because Baltimore just ran it right down their throat. And
Speaker 2: the third one is I still think McDermott gets tight
Speaker 2: in big spots. So with all that said, I think
Speaker 2: Buffalo is clearly a top three team in the conference.
Speaker 2: I think that well, let me rephrase it right now,
Speaker 2: and this is not a unique opinion. I think Kansas
Speaker 2: City stands by itself, and I think Baltimore, Buffalo, and
Speaker 2: Houston are in that clear cut next group and then
Speaker 2: everyone else is beneath them. So sorry, not trying to
Speaker 2: be disrespectful to Pittsburgh or Cincinnati, but I think those
Speaker 2: three teams and Houston hasn't looked great to me, but
Speaker 2: CJ and Nico'collins just make after play. So that's where
Speaker 2: I think Buffalo is Baltimore. Listen, if Derrick Henry can
Speaker 2: keep this up, they're gonna be incredibly tough. I of
Speaker 2: course worry about a running back at that age, with
Speaker 2: that wear and tear. But that guy, that guy was
Speaker 2: blazing down the sideline to open that game, had two
Speaker 2: hundred yards and that rushing attack with Lamar there is
Speaker 2: legitimately terrifying. And so now am I a little annoyed
Speaker 2: by the amount of people, legitimate colleagues on television that
Speaker 2: went on TV yesterday to Monday and said Baltimore best
Speaker 2: team in the NFL? Do I think that's? You know,
Speaker 2: do I think the best team in the NFL can
Speaker 2: be two and two? I do? Actually, do I think
Speaker 2: the best team can be in the NFL can be
Speaker 2: two and two when one of the four and oo
Speaker 2: teams beat them head to head and controlled the entirety
Speaker 2: of that game, I don't, I think. But that was
Speaker 2: a that was a no brainer because Buffalo Baltimore was
Speaker 2: a standalone Island night game. The winner of that game,
Speaker 2: if Buffalo got to four and zero, for sure, and
Speaker 2: if Baltimore did what they did, was going to be
Speaker 2: crowned as the team to beat, which is of course silly,
Speaker 2: but Baltimore's really good. And I really liked Lamar's mentality
Speaker 2: after that Cowboys game when they almost blew it at
Speaker 2: the end and he was pissed about it. And you
Speaker 2: saw that show up in the game, this is your team.
Speaker 2: It looked like you want to say something to go ahead.
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe he's just saying that the Ravens are
Speaker 4: the best team now because of the state of the Chiefs,
Speaker 4: Like it's they're in pretty rough shape now, and I
Speaker 4: guess that brings us over to I'm gonna I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Defer from the Ravens.
Speaker 4: Ain't coach of the Chiefs, because like before you were
Speaker 4: saying that that Kelsey, you know, he's got what like
Speaker 4: five good games in him or whatever that he can
Speaker 4: probably play it.
Speaker 2: I said he had six to ten great games left
Speaker 2: in his body.
Speaker 4: That's what I say, right, Yeah, And now with Rashid
Speaker 4: Rice out, like he's definitely gonna need to step it up,
Speaker 4: Like because you I thought you were going to take
Speaker 4: the stance of like never a doubt they're still gonna
Speaker 4: do it, But it sounds like you might be a
Speaker 4: little you're a little nervous about it, like they're they're
Speaker 4: in bad shape, right, and you're admitting that.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think they're in bad shape, but I
Speaker 2: do think that being down, you're starting running back in
Speaker 2: your top two receivers, the team has to take on
Speaker 2: a different shape the team, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: that's played a different style of So will Kelse have
Speaker 2: to step it up? No? I don't So. I think
Speaker 2: Kelsey was fine. I think his demise was greatly exaggerated.
Speaker 2: But I don't want them, you know, using using Kelsey
Speaker 2: as the featured receiver in September, October or November or
Speaker 2: honestly December. I want them to save that. So the
Speaker 2: guy who's gonna have to step up is the kid
Speaker 2: Xavier Worthy. And you saw it by the way they
Speaker 2: ran third and six ice the game mesh route to
Speaker 2: Xavier Worthy. So he's gonna have to learn on the
Speaker 2: fly quickly. Mahomes obviously trust Juju, and I will see
Speaker 2: how the next few weeks look, and we'll see what
Speaker 2: the prognosis on Rashi is. If Rashi is out, then
Speaker 2: I that the the name I would watch is Amari Cooper.
Speaker 2: The Browns are terrible. His contract is done after this year.
Speaker 2: So like the if you're a Chiefs fan, You're you're
Speaker 2: rooting for the Chiefs, and you're also sneaky rooting against
Speaker 2: the Browns. So like, the Browns had a game this
Speaker 2: weekend against the Raiders, they could have won, and they
Speaker 2: got it inside the ten and shockingly, Deshaun couldn't punch
Speaker 2: it in the Raider. Next four, I'm sorry the Browns.
Speaker 2: Next four, Commanders, Eagles, Bengals, Ravens. You really want them
Speaker 2: to go at best one in three in that spot
Speaker 2: because if they are two and six headed into the
Speaker 2: trade deadline, then Amari Cooper's available. If all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: somehow they're four and four headed into the deadline, he's not.
Speaker 2: So Amari Cooper is a name to watch. Other people
Speaker 2: have mentioned Cooper Cup if the Rams season kind of
Speaker 2: goes awry because of their injuries. His injury history concerns me,
Speaker 2: and DeAndre Hopkins with the Titans is another guy to
Speaker 2: look out for. Florio floated, Could the Chiefs try to
Speaker 2: reunite with Tyreek Hill? I mean, I don't think Miami
Speaker 2: would do that, and it would take such massive draft capital.
Speaker 2: I don't think the Chiefs would do that, But man
Speaker 2: o man would that be fun. Bring Tyreek back to
Speaker 2: try to finish off the three peat would be a
Speaker 2: really remarkable thing. I don't think it's that realistic, but
Speaker 2: that is something I would I would mortgage a lot
Speaker 2: of my future draft capital in order to make that happen.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, next topic, Demansey, we gotta go faster.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: So last night Seattle and Detroit got into a second
Speaker 4: half shootout, and Golf had a game. So he completed
Speaker 4: every pass eighteen for eighteen and actually caught a touchdown
Speaker 4: pass was a dime. By the way, are the Lions
Speaker 4: are there? The Lions are dangerous team again? Or are
Speaker 4: they still on Pumpkin Watch? Or is golf still on
Speaker 4: Pumpkin Watch?
Speaker 2: No, so listen, the Lions have been a dangerous team
Speaker 2: and golf both things have been true. The Lions have
Speaker 2: been a dangerous team and golf has been on Pumpkin Watch.
Speaker 2: Uh I. I was really impressed by golf yesterday. Didn't
Speaker 2: that Frank rag Now? I thought Seattle's defront would get
Speaker 2: to him. Instead, he played perfect foot So I gotta
Speaker 2: give golf credit. And when the Lions are rolling, man,
Speaker 2: they look unbelievable. When offensively they can just hit you
Speaker 2: with so many different things. Jamo Williams is coming into
Speaker 2: be the player a lot of us thought he could
Speaker 2: be coming out of Alabama. When golf has time, he
Speaker 2: just cooks. So I think there is a legitimate argument
Speaker 2: right now that the Lions are the best team in
Speaker 2: the NFC. I think that that you can make a
Speaker 2: strong argument right now they have the most well rounded
Speaker 2: roster and that they listen, they lost to Tampa and
Speaker 2: they didn't play who did they play last week? That
Speaker 2: I wasn't impressed with, oh Arizona. They you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Last night was the first game all year
Speaker 2: to me, the Lions have looked the way they're supposed
Speaker 2: to look. They played a good game against the Rams,
Speaker 2: ghost to overtime. Week two, Baker and the Bucks beat
Speaker 2: him twenty to sixteen. The offense is stuck in the mud.
Speaker 2: Week three they escape against the Cardinals. And the reality is,
Speaker 2: prior to last night, golf had not played well this year.
Speaker 2: Golf in week one was mediocre, in Week two, zero touchdowns,
Speaker 2: two picks, in Week three one hundred and ninety nine yards,
Speaker 2: one touchdown, two picks. Against the Cardinals. Last night he
Speaker 2: was perfect. So right, now this moment, if you were
Speaker 2: to tell me everyone's odds are the same, who's your
Speaker 2: number one draft pick in the NFC. The Lions have
Speaker 2: a fair claim to that. They do, because the Niners
Speaker 2: are banged up. The whole NFC East is a mass
Speaker 2: except for Washington, whose defense is terrible. I do think
Speaker 2: the Lions are better than the Vikings. We'll see about
Speaker 2: the Packers. My Bears haven't really taken off yet, and
Speaker 2: no one in the NFC South scares you so and
Speaker 2: they just beat down They just beat up on Seattle,
Speaker 2: who had played really well. Go to Seattle quickly here
Speaker 2: before we move on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you kind of I feel like you
Speaker 4: touched on it, but yeah, the Seattle fought in that game,
Speaker 4: so it's oh, no, you didn't touch on it, But yeah,
Speaker 4: Seattle fought in that game.
Speaker 3: So it's got to be good for the fans.
Speaker 4: But their undefeated start came from three of the worst
Speaker 4: teams in the NFL. Do you think they belong in
Speaker 4: the same conversation as the other second third tier teams
Speaker 4: in the NFC?
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean when we say second and third
Speaker 2: tier teams, absolutely, like I think that a fair reading
Speaker 2: of the NFC right now would be the Lions in
Speaker 2: the Niners here and then Vikings, Packers, see Hawks here
Speaker 2: in the next tier with Commanders, Cowboys, Eagles kind of
Speaker 2: in their own little group with Tampa and the Rams
Speaker 2: if they were to get healthy. That's how I would
Speaker 2: do it. So, yeah, I think Seattle. I think Seattle's
Speaker 2: got an excellent coach. Gino's underrated they have. The Seahawks
Speaker 2: have three receivers who now that Rashi's out, all three
Speaker 2: would be the number one receiver on the Chiefs with
Speaker 2: a bullet in, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and JSN And
Speaker 2: so Seattle's offensive line is a question. I don't think
Speaker 2: they're a great team, but yeah, second or third. I
Speaker 2: think they're a second tier NFC team next.
Speaker 4: So Jade and Daniels has been lighting it up over
Speaker 4: there in Washington. Are you cautious on him or are
Speaker 4: you ready to give him his flowers and say he's
Speaker 4: the real deal.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, he's been unbelievable. Tis great of us first
Speaker 2: four games of any rookie ever, I am, I am.
Speaker 2: I still worry that the guy's gonna get broken in half. Sadly, yes,
Speaker 2: But as far as wild healthy, he has been dynamic.
Speaker 2: He has put up better production than my most optimistic
Speaker 2: thoughts that Caleb Williams could put up through four games
Speaker 2: and now here is the only thing I will caution
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury. Teams from college and in the pros get
Speaker 2: off to these red hot starts and then something happens
Speaker 2: to their offenses about midway through the season and they
Speaker 2: fall off. So I don't think they're gonna continue to
Speaker 2: be the highest scoring team in the league. But if
Speaker 2: you remember to monse in our preseason gambling show, I
Speaker 2: bet the Cowboys to win that division. I also put
Speaker 2: a taste on Washington to win that division at eleven
Speaker 2: to one, because I just thought Philly was gonna have
Speaker 2: no shot, and obviously the Giants don't. Washington's defense has
Speaker 2: been dreadful. They were better this week. But shout out
Speaker 2: to Jayden Man. Jayden is running away with Rookie of
Speaker 2: the Year. He's been There's nothing to criticize about how
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels has played so far. He's been playing almost
Speaker 2: perfect football, and so there is there there is. I've
Speaker 2: got nothing to take away from him. Let's go straight
Speaker 2: to the jetspell.
Speaker 4: Okay, so the loss of Bonnicks and the Broncos has
Speaker 4: got that Jets locker room very flustered. Salo openly question
Speaker 4: if his team was good enough to handle handle Rogers's cadence.
Speaker 4: Rogers pushed back and said that the head coach should
Speaker 4: pull a total one eighty.
Speaker 3: Salais constant that hold on the team should be real quick.
Speaker 2: Rogers pushed back, no, no, no, The Rogers pushed back
Speaker 2: and then slid in the press conference, did pull a
Speaker 2: one eighty. Sala was like, I don't know if we
Speaker 2: can do it. Rogers was like, who do you think's
Speaker 2: in charge? Her? And Sala's like, sorry, my apology, sir,
Speaker 2: let me way, so go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So he's constantly got to walk back on stuff that
Speaker 4: he said. He's on eggshells. This is getting really awkward.
Speaker 4: When is it going to end? What's going on here?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean listen, it was. It was remarkable to
Speaker 2: me and I the I'm not trying to.
Speaker 3: Do it.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, listen, fair is fair. I am open
Speaker 2: for criticism from other media members. I won't get my
Speaker 2: feelings hurt. So I hope that other media members, even
Speaker 2: ones I like in respect, can understand I might sometimes
Speaker 2: criticize their takes. Okay, I saw this tweet from Mike
Speaker 2: Greenberg after the game Sunday, in a league where the
Speaker 2: premium and coaching has never been higher, the New York
Speaker 2: Jets are a very, very badly coached football team and
Speaker 2: that will likely be their undoing and no man like
Speaker 2: but you're but you and so many others who are
Speaker 2: Jet fans in the media, how did you not see
Speaker 2: that coming. He's not a new head coach. This is
Speaker 2: his fourth year. Like they you don't get to be
Speaker 2: surprised by the fact that Robert Salah doesn't know what
Speaker 2: he's doing. And the Jets are not a good team.
Speaker 2: They're a mediocre team. Bo Nicks demanse at halftime of
Speaker 2: a game he won, had six completions for negative seven yards.
Speaker 2: That was the stat line, six completions. It had gone
Speaker 2: negative yards. The Jets lost, and they they kept bringing
Speaker 2: up the weather. They were like all the conditions. It
Speaker 2: was rainy, like it was a monsoon. It's New York
Speaker 2: in the fall. It's good, you're gonna have to deal
Speaker 2: with some rain. Rogers wasn't good. The offensive life wasn't good,
Speaker 2: The coaching wasn't good. All off season. I got yelled at, oh,
Speaker 2: put some respect on Breeze Hall's name. He's a good player.
Speaker 2: He's not some great player. Ten Carrey's four yards all
Speaker 2: off season. Oh you don't think the Jets have great weapons?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, get there. This league has twenty
Speaker 2: awesome receivers. Garrett Wilson is somewhere in that ten to
Speaker 2: twenty range of that Rogers seventy nine passer rating when
Speaker 2: targeting Garrett Wilson. I'm not saying that could have been
Speaker 2: fixed at three days at mini camp, but maybe they
Speaker 2: needed a little more time together. They're not a good team,
Speaker 2: and when they lost in Week one, I had to
Speaker 2: listen to all these people be like, Oh, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: They're just gonna win their next four Titans, Patriots, Broncos, Vikings. Well,
Speaker 2: the Titans threw a scare in you. You crushed the
Speaker 2: Patriots and then started talking about we now need to
Speaker 2: expect to dominate. Then you lose ten nine to Bonet,
Speaker 2: and now the Vikings are a favorite. You are what
Speaker 2: people should have thought you were, which was a seven
Speaker 2: win team on the low end, an eight win team
Speaker 2: most likely, and a nine win team on the high end.
Speaker 2: That's who you are, and talking about this team like
Speaker 2: it was ever a championship contender is just bananas to me.
Speaker 2: I'm sick of talking about the Jets. They're not interesting.
Speaker 2: I mean, they are interesting.
Speaker 3: Think, but they're not good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are interesting, but they're only interesting because people
Speaker 2: have so drastically overrated them. They don't have a great quarterback,
Speaker 2: they don't have elite weapons. They have a good at
Speaker 2: times great defense. That's it it is, and so you're
Speaker 2: asking when does it end? Well, So here's how I
Speaker 2: think the Jets next month is gonna go. You play
Speaker 2: the Vikings, the Bills, and the Steelers. You'll go one
Speaker 2: and two in that's run, and then you'll be sitting
Speaker 2: there at three and four. You'll then crush the Patriots
Speaker 2: and think you're good again, and then you'll lose to
Speaker 2: the Texans and you'll be four and five and just
Speaker 2: middling the whole year. Middling. I just this was the
Speaker 2: most easy to see coming train down the tracks, and
Speaker 2: everyone who gets paid to do this acting just shocked.
Speaker 2: How what do you mean, Robert Salad? With extra time
Speaker 2: to prepare. Every time the Jets have extra time to prepare,
Speaker 2: they play worse. I think he's three and six in
Speaker 2: his career with extra time. No, for real, I think
Speaker 2: it's three and six or two and six in his career.
Speaker 2: Because they played on a Thursday. They were against the
Speaker 2: Patriots on a Thursday. Extra time for a rookie quarterback,
Speaker 2: you lose. They're not a serious organization. Quick break right back,

Speaker 2: let's squeeze a little hoops in here before we get
Speaker 2: to this or that. Go ahead?
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, Carl Anthony Towns is now a Nick and
Speaker 4: reunited with his head coach Thibodeau. The Knicks are all
Speaker 4: the way in and Minnesota's just broke up a team
Speaker 4: that made the Western Conference Finals. A little strange. Who
Speaker 4: do you think won that trade?
Speaker 2: Maybe nobody. This is a weird one to me, So
Speaker 2: let's start with Minnesota's side of it. I listen, I
Speaker 2: don't think Karl Anthony Towns is really a winning player.
Speaker 2: I know he has the big numbers. I think he's
Speaker 2: the personality doesn't seem to really jive with Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 2: From what I hear, Chris Finch wasn't devastated about this trade.
Speaker 2: I get that, But if you're gonna trade Karl Anthony Towns,
Speaker 2: I feel like you need to get more than one
Speaker 2: first round pick and Julius Randall. And here's what I
Speaker 2: worry about with from Minnesota's perspective, demonse go Bear and Randall,
Speaker 2: Like if say what you will about Carl Anthony Towns
Speaker 2: great shooter, So he spaces the floor, Go Bear and
Speaker 2: Randall both clogging up the paint and kind of, you know,
Speaker 2: not ruining but hurting the team. Spacing, to me, is
Speaker 2: a real concern for Anthony Edwards, and now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, nas Reed becomes one of the most important
Speaker 2: players in the league because of his spacing. It also
Speaker 2: felt like a drastic move coming off of Western Armends
Speaker 2: Finals appearance, like, so there's that piece of it, now
Speaker 2: to the Knicks piece of it. I'm not a Julius
Speaker 2: Randall fan. Obviously, he's a historically bad playoff performer. He's
Speaker 2: not a great vibes guy. It feels to me I
Speaker 2: understand them wanting to move on from him, but I
Speaker 2: would have liked to see what this team because once
Speaker 2: they traded for Og last year, when they were healthy,
Speaker 2: they were excellent, then Randal got hurt. They've now added
Speaker 2: Michale Bridges. I would have kind of wanted to see
Speaker 2: what the team looks like before I make this type
Speaker 2: of move. So it's hard to criticize the Knicks too
Speaker 2: much because I like Dante, but he's a role player.
Speaker 2: Randal didn't really fit with them. Now Brunton has amazing
Speaker 2: spacing and you're a team that can deal with the
Speaker 2: defensive limitations of Karl Anthony Towns because you have Bridges, Annobe,
Speaker 2: Josh Hart. You have excellent defenders. But I don't hate
Speaker 2: the move for the Knicks. It just seems a lot
Speaker 2: of shaking of the snow globe in a small period
Speaker 2: of time when you're coming off your best season and
Speaker 2: you never saw the team all the way together and
Speaker 2: you traded all that stuff for Bridges. It's really confusing
Speaker 2: for me from the Timberwolves perspective, and it seemed like
Speaker 2: if you were gonna make this move, you could have
Speaker 2: gotten more in return. That's that's my general feeling on it.
Speaker 2: Your my takeaway on your end as someone that wants
Speaker 2: see the Celtics repeat, did this trade bum you out?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: Does this make you more scared of the Knicks?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: No, I don't think Kat has never scared me, and
Speaker 4: I don't think any team is really gonna scare me
Speaker 4: as far as the Celtics go. We won that won
Speaker 4: that finals very easily last year, and I think we're
Speaker 4: going back and I don't think this is gonna hurt
Speaker 4: our chances at all. But I do think it screws
Speaker 4: up Minnesota, like it's like they had the kryptonite to
Speaker 4: the Nuggets, who were obviously a team.
Speaker 2: So that's the other thing that I do. I do
Speaker 2: wonder if this signals that the Timberwolves. I don't know
Speaker 2: about the rest of the West, but the Timberwolves at
Speaker 2: least don't look at it like all right, we have
Speaker 2: to build it.
Speaker 3: We need to be right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be that they are that they're less
Speaker 2: concerned exclusively about Denver, and I do find that interesting.
Speaker 2: All right, let's quickly play this.
Speaker 4: Or that tier for this or that. So first off,
Speaker 4: we got Christian McCaffrey. He's out for a while, Brandon
Speaker 4: Ayuk seems lost, and Brock Party has had to carry
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers and he has so far, and
Speaker 4: he's leading the NFL in passing or in passing. Sorry,
Speaker 4: Brock Party will sink San Francisco or save San Francisco.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna cop out and say neither. I certainly
Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna sink them. Listen, Party's played excellent
Speaker 2: party credit where it's due. Man, he hasn't had all
Speaker 2: the Avengers, he has played really well. I also don't
Speaker 2: think him saving them is a fair portrayal of it
Speaker 2: because they have a great coach, excellent players on offense.
Speaker 2: The defense hasn't been great this year, but Fred Warner
Speaker 2: has been. But Purty has more than held up his
Speaker 2: endo the bargain. And for those of us that were like, hey,
Speaker 2: what is he going to look like once you pay
Speaker 2: him and you can't afford the rest of these guys,
Speaker 2: He's played really well. He's pushing the ball downfield like
Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta be fair when the evidence is
Speaker 2: out there. I've got no Brock Purty criticism on how
Speaker 2: he's played this year. He's gonna save them, but he
Speaker 2: certainly isn't gonna sink them.
Speaker 4: Next h Derrek Henry leaves the NFL and rushing and
Speaker 4: he's put together an all time career. You hinted on
Speaker 4: TV that he might be the last Hall of Fame
Speaker 4: running back. The last Hall of Fame running back will
Speaker 4: be Derrick Henry or other I'm confused.
Speaker 3: Is Christian McCaffrey not like is because he's been hurt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the like McCaffrey is a Hall of Fame
Speaker 2: caliber player, but he doesn't have the numbers or the
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, resume yet and this season
Speaker 2: might be a loss season, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like it's so.
Speaker 2: But the point that and I this wasn't my original thought.
Speaker 2: Someone tweeted it and I was like, Oh, that's a
Speaker 2: crazy idea, Like is Derrick Henry gonna be the last
Speaker 2: running back to make the Hall of Fame? And I
Speaker 2: don't think he's going to be the last running back
Speaker 2: to make the Hall of Fame? But I do think
Speaker 2: it's on the board that after it, unless Simac makes it,
Speaker 2: that after Henry makes it, we could go ten twelve
Speaker 2: years with no running backs making it because guys just
Speaker 2: aren't playing like they're having these awesome bursts at the
Speaker 2: beginning of their career and then they're not the same player.
Speaker 2: As the league becomes more passing oriented, it's gonna be
Speaker 2: harder and harder for there to be a guy like
Speaker 2: Derek Henry, Adrian Peterson or the other you know, legendary backs,
Speaker 2: or even guy like Curtis Martin or Frank Gore that
Speaker 2: weren't as down to down dominant as petersoner Derrick Henry
Speaker 2: but played for fifteen years and accumulated all these numbers.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think that is on the board next.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: In twenty eighteen, Baker was the first draft pick and
Speaker 4: Sam Donald went third.
Speaker 3: Baker's having a career year in.
Speaker 4: Tampa, and Sam Donald has been the surprise of the season,
Speaker 4: leading Minneapolis to a four and all record. Better quarterbacks,
Speaker 4: you say, Minneapolis, Yeah, Minnesota, sir, I got a better
Speaker 4: quarterback Baker Donald.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think it's Baker, but I also I mean,
Speaker 2: Donald is having the slightly better year, but I think
Speaker 2: Baker's a better player. But more importantly, that twenty eighteen
Speaker 2: quarterback draft class out of nowhere, because Baker's on his
Speaker 2: fourth team, Donald's on his fourth team. With those guys popping,
Speaker 2: you have Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2: That's sneaky all of a sudden becoming a great quarterback
Speaker 2: draft class, a great one. Josh Rosen, my guy, poor
Speaker 2: Josh Rosen, he, you know, failure to launch on his end. Also,
Speaker 2: by the way, Mason Rudolph, who's getting got some run
Speaker 2: this week. Uh no, obviously not on the level of
Speaker 2: these other guys. But if you have four legitimate long
Speaker 2: time starting quarterbacks. You know, Lamar is a two time MVP,
Speaker 2: Josh is a three time Media Hype MVP and also
Speaker 2: a great great player. The Baker's playing awesome and has
Speaker 2: won multiple playoff games. Donald's won of you know, a
Speaker 2: quarterback of an undefeated team like and so a kind
Speaker 2: of sneaky comeback for that draft class. All right, last one.
Speaker 4: It's nice lebron hats and big praise for Bronnie. At
Speaker 4: Lakers Media Day yesterday, the Goat said his son looked
Speaker 4: better than he did his rookie year. This is a
Speaker 4: story about basketball or fatherhood.
Speaker 2: It's a story about fatherhood. That video I sent you
Speaker 2: to Monsey of them sitting up there getting interviewed arguing
Speaker 2: with each other playfully about who stepped out of bounds
Speaker 2: who didn't. Whatever it is, was honestly one of the
Speaker 2: most touching things I've ever seen in.
Speaker 3: Sports and dented.
Speaker 2: It's it's and it's unprecedented. Is literally definitively true. It's
Speaker 2: just a fact. I'm gonna throw a different unword in there,
Speaker 2: that's more opinion unfathomable. Previously, it was not within someone's
Speaker 2: conception that you could have in the NBA a father
Speaker 2: and son play on the same team because of just
Speaker 2: the logistics of it, like you need the following things
Speaker 2: to happen. You need, first of all, to have a
Speaker 2: kid pretty young. Now I understand some you know, some
Speaker 2: people are father's at fifteen, but eighteen year old father
Speaker 2: and I think lebron lebron was I think a nineteen
Speaker 2: year old father. That's on the lower end of you know,
Speaker 2: how young you can be and have a kid. First
Speaker 2: thing you need to have. Second thing, you need to
Speaker 2: have a twenty year career. Okay, well, now we have
Speaker 2: a whole NBA history sample size of like ten people.
Speaker 2: Then you also need to have the kid be a
Speaker 2: good enough player to be an NBA player. And people
Speaker 2: can say Bronni's borderline, but this, you know, whatever like
Speaker 2: Bronni is at least is going to be. It was
Speaker 2: a legitimate draftable late second round pick. So you needed
Speaker 2: all those things to happen. It seemed impossible. And now
Speaker 2: to see, like I do, think the other So the
Speaker 2: fatherhood's story here, uh is are you I'm not being
Speaker 2: a smartest, so are you getting emotional as your allergies bothering?
Speaker 3: No, my allies are killing me. It's crazy, though.
Speaker 2: Crazy. Right now I'm telling a podcast with you talking
Speaker 2: about fatherhood, and all of a sudden, if you're listening,
Speaker 2: you can't see if you're watching on YouTube, I'm like, man,
Speaker 2: did I just touch a chord with demanse? Do we
Speaker 2: need to take a break? I was so taken aback.
Speaker 2: Dense started like I know, No. I was like, man,
Speaker 2: oh man, I thought it was touching for me. Demonsees
Speaker 2: out here crying out of nowhere. Okay, all right, I'm
Speaker 2: glad you're all right, but uh no, So it was
Speaker 2: so the fatherhood thing is crazy. It's really crazy. And
Speaker 2: it also speaks to why I was so annoyed with
Speaker 2: so much of the commentary having so to negative slant
Speaker 2: on this last year. This is one of the coolest
Speaker 2: stories in sports history. You have a guy who I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to have the goat debate, but is in
Speaker 2: the argument, is the debate for greatest ever in his sport,
Speaker 2: and is in the debate for greatest athlete ever. He's
Speaker 2: in that If you're like, hey, get me a room
Speaker 2: of the greatest athletes to ever live to have an argument,
Speaker 2: he's in that room. If you say, hey, I want
Speaker 2: to know who the greatest basketball player to ever live is.
Speaker 2: There's only three people in that room for that argument.
Speaker 2: This guy is there and he's playing with his son
Speaker 2: on the most famous team in the history of the sport.
Speaker 2: So that's like, that's the fatherhood crazy, you know, piece
Speaker 2: of it, the basketball piece of it is this man.
Speaker 2: I do wonder what the Olympics and now playing with
Speaker 2: Bronni is going to have done for Lebron's motivation, because
Speaker 2: there is a level of literally done everything, Like I've
Speaker 2: been on better teams than this, I've been on worse
Speaker 2: teams than this. I've won championships. I've done that. I've
Speaker 2: scored more points than anyone. I have every every single
Speaker 2: youngest to ever do anything record, I own it. Every
Speaker 2: single oldest to ever do anything record. I own those two.
Speaker 2: So it would unless the Lakers were gonna be awesome,
Speaker 2: which they're not, there was a real reason think Lebron
Speaker 2: like would kind of go into this year like I guess,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't seem like that. Seems like he is
Speaker 2: juiced from the Olympic high and now playing with Bronni.
Speaker 2: So I think basketball in fatherhood it's an unbelievable story.
Speaker 2: Quick break right back, answer some of your questions. Next
Speaker 2: What's right?
Speaker 3: The mods?
Speaker 2: It can hit some tissues, all right, welcome back in
Speaker 2: What's Right with Nick? Right before we get to the
Speaker 2: listener questions. I gotta tell you, guys something. My friends
Speaker 2: at Brooks sent me the new Glycerin Max shoes. These
Speaker 2: shoes are new, first of their kind for Brooks. Let
Speaker 2: me tell you they're amazing. You guys know I'm trying
Speaker 2: to train for a triathlon. These have been a huge
Speaker 2: part of it. They're so uncomfortable, stylish, leave my legs
Speaker 2: feeling fresh after a long run. These shoes feature DNA Tuned,
Speaker 2: which integrates two types of nitrogen infuse cushioning into one
Speaker 2: seamlessly tuned mid soul plus a glide rollrocker helps make
Speaker 2: each step feel effortless. Elevate your running journey as you
Speaker 2: land with maximum softness and spring forward with ultimate ease.
Speaker 2: With the new Glycerin Max, I love feeling like I
Speaker 2: can run forever in these shoes. Again. For the triathlon,
Speaker 2: I gotta run six miles, so I'm kind of ramping
Speaker 2: up to that. I have a time in my head
Speaker 2: that I'm trying to get to I'll keep that to
Speaker 2: myself for now, but these shoes have been on my
Speaker 2: feet for every one of my training runs. Head over
Speaker 2: to Brooks Running dot com to learn more. All right,
Speaker 2: Demon's eight. Let's get to some listener questions quickly before
Speaker 2: we get out of here.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, cut Less, ass If the Chiefs winner all
Speaker 4: this year is this year as impressive as lebron win
Speaker 4: with the twenty sixteen Calves, Well.
Speaker 2: Those cross sport comparisons are kind of tough. That Lebron's
Speaker 2: win with the twenty sixteen Calves the champion the season.
Speaker 2: The championship in and of itself wasn't historic. The three
Speaker 2: to one come back in the finals against the seventy
Speaker 2: three win team was what was historic. So it was
Speaker 2: really that week of basketball is a precedented across you know, sports,
Speaker 2: But it wasn't a start to finish eight month journey
Speaker 2: the way like that because everyone knew the Cavs are
Speaker 2: gonna be in the playoffs. You kind of knew the
Speaker 2: Cavs are gonna be in the finals. Like it was
Speaker 2: just a very different thing than what this Chiefs team's
Speaker 2: trying to do next. Uh.
Speaker 3: Brandon Swayze ass with the Ravens.
Speaker 4: Acquiring a true one wide receiver one at the deadline,
Speaker 4: Devonte Adams or Cooper cup for example, make them super
Speaker 4: Bowl favorites.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they need help on the at
Speaker 2: the wide receiver spot. I don't know if it'd be
Speaker 2: enough for me to make them super Bowl favorites. The
Speaker 2: question is, like, will that take them out of what
Speaker 2: they want to do, which is be the smash mouth
Speaker 2: running team. They could have targeted a wide receiver this offseason,
Speaker 2: said they went out and got Derrick Henry. I have
Speaker 2: always thought Zay Flowers is a nice player but a
Speaker 2: little overrated by some. And so I don't think they
Speaker 2: have a true number one. I think that's very clear.
Speaker 4: Like I think Flowers right there, Flowers, I don't think
Speaker 4: they But let's think he gets a little.
Speaker 2: Sometimes punched out at the one yard line in the.
Speaker 3: Ages rookie guys a rookie.
Speaker 2: I think he's a nice player. I think there are
Speaker 2: right now. I'm not going to take the time to
Speaker 2: do it right now. I think I and I think
Speaker 2: I could do it pretty easily. I think there's forty
Speaker 2: receivers better than him, So like forty.
Speaker 3: Geez, forty, I wasn't thinking forty.
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, let's let's just hold on, hold on,
Speaker 2: let's just again. I'm not sure I'm gonna do this
Speaker 2: whole thing. Demon say you counted off for me. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna name names, Okay. The Bills have none of them.
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson for sure. The Patriots have none of them.
Speaker 2: Uh in Miami, Tyreek and Jalen Waddle for sure. In Pittsburgh,
Speaker 2: George Pickens. Baltimore's in Cleveland, Amari Cooper. Cincinnati has two
Speaker 2: of them. T Higgins and Jamar Chase. We're at seven Houston,
Speaker 2: Nico Collins without a doubt. And I'm gonna include Stephan Diggs,
Speaker 2: He's borderlined. But Stefan Diggs were at nine. Tennessee. Does
Speaker 2: Tennessee have Ridley?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Who does Ridley play for? Whoever Ridley play for? He's
Speaker 2: on there. We're at ten Jacksonville. I'm not gonna put
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior there yet. I'm not gonna put Gabe
Speaker 2: Davis or Christian Kirks who We're still at ten. Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice is better than him. The Chargers have none
Speaker 2: of them. Davante Adams is better than him. All right.
Speaker 2: We're at twelve and we're done with the AFC, so
Speaker 2: maybe I've overstated it. We'll see Washington, Terry McLaurin, Dallas,
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb. The Eagles have two. Davonte Smith and AJ
Speaker 2: Brown were at sixteen. The Giants Malik Neighbors, no question
Speaker 2: about it, were at seventeen. Minnesota Justin Jefferson and Jordan
Speaker 2: Addison were at nineteen. Detroit, Wait Aman Ross Saint Brown.
Speaker 2: We're at twenty. I won't put Jamo Williams there, but
Speaker 2: I kind of want to Green Bay pick your favorite
Speaker 2: of their receivers. They've got three guys in the argument.
Speaker 2: We'll just put one of them there. I would say Reid.
Speaker 2: We're at twenty one. Chicago, DJ Moore without question. I
Speaker 2: think A Dunday's better, but we won't put him in there,
Speaker 2: but Keenan Allen we will. We're at twenty three. Tampa
Speaker 2: Bay Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. We're at twenty five Atlanta.
Speaker 2: I'd like to put Drake London there, but I can't.
Speaker 2: He hasn't proven it, so we'll stay there. New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Who's New Orleans pig number one guy? It's the oh
Speaker 2: Chris Olave. We're at twenty six. Carolina's got nobody, Seattle
Speaker 2: has three players, Locket, DK, Metcalf JSN. We're at twenty nine.
Speaker 2: San Francisco, AYUK, We're at thirty. Divo, We're at thirty one,
Speaker 2: and I'm looking at you, Juwan Jennings. I won't put
Speaker 2: you there yet, but I'm looking at you Arizona, Marvin
Speaker 2: Harrison Junior, the Rams Cup, and Nikoua thirty four. Off
Speaker 2: the top of my hand, thirty four, I mean want
Speaker 2: to dropped my head, eyes went down the rosters. So
Speaker 2: that's my point. That's all I'm saying. He's a nice player,
Speaker 2: a little overrated, definitely not top thirty. And I'm sure
Speaker 2: I love some people out.
Speaker 4: Some people in there that you said, no question that
Speaker 4: I definitely got some questions on.
Speaker 3: But it's it's all right.
Speaker 2: Give me a name.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 4: Give me a name, all right, Rashi Rice, He's great,
Speaker 4: he's amazing. I think him and Zay Flowers have similar
Speaker 4: skill sets. I don't think he's head and shoulders that
Speaker 4: much better than Zay Flowers.
Speaker 3: If he is second, I did.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, I disagree with you, but take
Speaker 2: Rashie Rice out now thirty three, thirty two team league.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it's a lot of receivers in the league
Speaker 3: that I was anticipating as well.
Speaker 2: That's that's the thing. So that is the actual story,
Speaker 2: the actual score. And by the way, oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: I forgot Michael Pittman. I didn't say Michael Pittman's on
Speaker 2: there for the Colts. I knew I forgot some some guys.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: The lot of dogs in there when.
Speaker 2: There there are more legitimate receivers in the league right
Speaker 2: now than any time before, more than any time before.
Speaker 2: All right, do we have any more questions before I
Speaker 2: gotta go?
Speaker 4: We got Jordan Chalk says, what are the main concerns
Speaker 4: you have with the Vikings that hold them back from
Speaker 4: being the best team of the NFC.
Speaker 2: That Sam Donald's their quarterback, He's played really well. I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that that is long term sustainable. That's all.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll be wrong. Maybe it would be a rich
Speaker 2: gannon Asque success story. We'll see, but I maybe I'll
Speaker 2: be wrong. All right, one more question?
Speaker 4: Pick your favorite one Andrew Murray, uh oh, Demons and
Speaker 4: La LA Team two tickets to any USC football home
Speaker 4: game in my family suite, name and date. All right,
Speaker 4: Andrew Murray, that sounds pretty cool. Thanks dude, Wow, follow
Speaker 4: up about it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't want to go
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 4: If you want to leave like your Instagram or Twitter
Speaker 4: in the chat or something, I will definitely follow up
Speaker 4: on that.
Speaker 3: I will take you awesome.
