Speaker 2: Welcome in episode eighty six. I'm gonna call it, but
Speaker 2: it might be eighty five of What's Right with Nick Wright,
Speaker 2: the podcast, the YouTube show, all of that going on
Speaker 2: right now. We've got You can watch us live on
Speaker 2: YouTube and add your comments or questions in the chat
Speaker 2: and we will get to you, guys. I think we'll
Speaker 2: do some polls during the show during the first few
Speaker 2: blocks of the show, and then we will get to
Speaker 2: the actual listener comments and questions in the sea block
Speaker 2: of the show. We have a ton to do. This
Speaker 2: was a massive Week seven in the NFL, but as
Speaker 2: we always do, let's start with what we're not starting
Speaker 2: with what we're not discussing. Here's what did not make
Speaker 2: the Cup for today's show, Zion and Brandon Ingram injured.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I was a little confused. I
Speaker 2: was watching football yesterday, obviously, but then in the late
Speaker 2: window of games, got alerted the Pelicans game went to
Speaker 2: was tight late, and so I turn it on and
Speaker 2: I see Zion's not on the court, but he wasn't
Speaker 2: in foul trouble, So I was a little concerned. He
Speaker 2: has a bit of an injury. You'll probably will know
Speaker 2: more about that as the day goes on. That team
Speaker 2: lost a heartbreaker. The World Series is set Astros against
Speaker 2: the Phillies. I think we might make it through the
Speaker 2: entirety of the Baseball Playoffs without doing a full segment
Speaker 2: on them. And the House of Dragon season finale, I'm
Speaker 2: not even gonna give you my thoughts on it. I
Speaker 2: have seen it, but it just came out hours ago.
Speaker 2: I don't want people to think we're going to be
Speaker 2: spoiling it. It is not a spoiler to tell you
Speaker 2: we are starting with the Chiefs dominating the San Francisco
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. At least I assume we are is
Speaker 2: where I welcome in demanse demanse get us started.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: San Francisco made all the headlines last week, but the
Speaker 4: Chiefs dominated them.
Speaker 3: Chiefs are now three to zero games where they were
Speaker 3: down by ten this year. Yep.
Speaker 4: The Chiefs looked like a Super Bowl contender, and the
Speaker 4: forty nine ers obviously think they are too.
Speaker 3: Where they wouldn't have traded all those picks for Christian McCaffrey. Yep.
Speaker 4: What was the story the Chiefs dominance or San Francisco
Speaker 4: being a clear tier below them?
Speaker 2: All right, let's start with the San Francisco side quickly,
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to the chief side. And also
Speaker 2: shout out to the producers who, after I've been begging
Speaker 2: them to put twenty minutes on the clock for our
Speaker 2: eight block on Mondays, they put twenty one minutes on.
Speaker 2: Gave me an extra one minute here. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: The Niners have two obvious issues. One is their core
Speaker 2: now their quarterback. It was not the reason they lost yesterday. However,
Speaker 2: that pick he threw at the goal line when the
Speaker 2: game was still tight that allowed the Chiefs to take
Speaker 2: firm control of it. That is Jimmy g is going
Speaker 2: to do that once a half. He tried to do
Speaker 2: it again later in the game. Throw another goal line
Speaker 2: pick the Chiefs corner. I think with Sneed just wasn't
Speaker 2: able to get to it. But they know that. That's
Speaker 2: why they went and got Christian McCaffrey so they can
Speaker 2: take the ball out of his hands. The bigger concern
Speaker 2: for the Niners is they got healthy for this game.
Speaker 2: They had the number one defense in the league by
Speaker 2: a yardage metric, they had a top three defense by
Speaker 2: points metric, and the Chiefs here's how their drives went.
Speaker 2: Interception by Mahomes on the opening drive, touchdown, touchdown, end
Speaker 2: of half drive sliced them down the field. Mahomes threw
Speaker 2: a touchdown, there was a very questionable low block penalty
Speaker 2: on Jerrick McKinnon wiped the touchdown off the board, so
Speaker 2: the Chiefs kicked a field goal and missed it. So
Speaker 2: four opening four first half drives. After the opening driver
Speaker 2: where he threw a pick down the field for a touchdown,
Speaker 2: down the field for a touchdown down the field could
Speaker 2: have been for a touchdown, goes off the board. Second
Speaker 2: half touchdown touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, put in Chad Henning. So
Speaker 2: that is eight drives against the Chiefs number one offense,
Speaker 2: six ended in touchdowns, a seventh wood of if not
Speaker 2: for a questionable call, and Mahomes made one mistake that
Speaker 2: the Chiefs had a clear plan to try to use
Speaker 2: the Niners pass rush against them. They kept running at
Speaker 2: Nicky Bosa. It worked beautifully.
Speaker 3: McCall.
Speaker 2: Hardenan had the best game of his life. So for
Speaker 2: the Niners, you can't eat your whole idea is we
Speaker 2: are going to get just enough out of Jimmy g
Speaker 2: and the offense and our defense is going to carry us.
Speaker 2: Having the Chiefs saying forty four on you will forty
Speaker 2: two Jimmy, he took another safety. Is concerning now to
Speaker 2: the chief side of things, the Mahomes numbers. There's a
Speaker 2: whole article on NFL dot com that is just about
Speaker 2: the records Mahomes set yesterday. So a few different things.
Speaker 2: So Mahomes is now thirteen and nine in his career
Speaker 2: when he trails by double digits, that is fifty nine
Speaker 2: percent of the time when down ten plus he wins.
Speaker 2: The next highest in the league is Tom Brady at
Speaker 2: thirty nine percent. But that actually understates it because while
Speaker 2: he's thirteen and nine overall, he started his career one
Speaker 2: and four in games when he trails by double digits,
Speaker 2: So since twenty nineteen, he is twelve and five in
Speaker 2: games where he trails by ten points. For context for
Speaker 2: that highest quarterback winning percentage including the playoffs since twenty nineteen,
Speaker 2: so the last twenty nineteen twenty four seasons, Mahomes wins
Speaker 2: seventy nine percent of his games. Aaron Rodgers wins seventy
Speaker 2: three percent of his games. Mahomes wins seventy one percent
Speaker 2: of his games win trailing by double double figures, and
Speaker 2: then number four is Tom Brady at seventy percent. So
Speaker 2: the only quarterback in the last three and a half
Speaker 2: years who wins more games overall than Mahomes wins when
Speaker 2: trailing by double pardon me, double figures is Aaron Rodgers. Also,
Speaker 2: Yesterday was Mahomes' seventieth career game. He now is first
Speaker 2: all time through seventy games in wins, yards, and touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Yesterday was Mahomes' eighth career game with four hundred yards
Speaker 2: and three passing touchdowns. Okay, his eighth career game. That
Speaker 2: is the fifth most in league history. Okay, Breeze has twelve,
Speaker 2: Manning and Marino and have eleven and Brady as ten.
Speaker 2: Those four guys, this all from NFL dot Com did
Speaker 2: that in a combined one and twenty games. The fewest
Speaker 2: was Marino, who played two hundred and forty two. Mahomes
Speaker 2: has five. He has played, as I just mentioned, seventy games.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have the highest scoring offense in the league
Speaker 2: by a mile. And this is all without Tyreek kill.
Speaker 2: And so this is what when people ask me why
Speaker 2: it gets so irritated about the Josh Allen commentary, It
Speaker 2: is not because Josh Allen is not an excellent player.
Speaker 3: He is.
Speaker 2: But Josh Allen is right now Carl Malone in the
Speaker 2: nineties to Michael Jordan. He is a guy who is
Speaker 2: and could potentially be an all time great, but he
Speaker 2: is up against the most talented player in the history
Speaker 2: of the league, who has had the greatest start to
Speaker 2: a career of any player in the history of the league.
Speaker 2: One other fun note about comebacks this year, and this
Speaker 2: is not from NFL dot Com. This is from my
Speaker 2: great statisticians, Dusty and Josh. This year Mahomes win down
Speaker 2: double digits is three to zero. The rest of the
Speaker 2: NFL is seventeen seventy one and one. So Mahomes has
Speaker 2: three double digit comebacks. The rest of the league does
Speaker 2: it nineteen percent of the time. It is just another
Speaker 2: level entirely. And this was against a defense that you
Speaker 2: guys heard me last week I thought could give the
Speaker 2: Chiefs real problems. And they got everybody back, they got healthy,
Speaker 2: and yesterday was another example that when that Chiefs offensive
Speaker 2: line plays, which it did not against Buffalo, it did
Speaker 2: not in the first half against the Raiders. When the
Speaker 2: Chiefs offensive line plays well, the offense is unstoppable. This
Speaker 2: was also the twentieth consecutive game the Chiefs either had
Speaker 2: a lead or at least tied for the lead in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. So there has not been a game
Speaker 2: for the last twenty games they have played, there's not
Speaker 2: been one that they were not at least in position
Speaker 2: to win. All right, next, all right.
Speaker 4: For the last decade, we've all asked the same question,
Speaker 4: that's when will Father Time beat Tom Brady.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it seems like it's officially happening.
Speaker 4: The Firesale Panthers and PJ Walker quarterback and Bears to
Speaker 4: go twenty one to three shird Brady have stayed retired
Speaker 4: and do you think he makes it to the end
Speaker 4: of the season.
Speaker 2: All right, So a lot of things here and one
Speaker 2: is Matt maybe you can tell me my ear. I
Speaker 2: don't know if Gabe is in studio today, because this
Speaker 2: has to have been Gabe is in studio. So this
Speaker 2: is football nirvana for our fearless leader. Gabe Goodwin the
Speaker 2: owner of an operator of Blue Duck Media who produces
Speaker 2: this podcast. So Gabe is a Jets fan who over
Speaker 2: the last decade has become a part time Jets fan
Speaker 2: because they've been so devastating, and a full time Tom
Speaker 2: Brady hater. He dedicates he has in the past dedicated
Speaker 2: more of his football energy to rooting for the demise
Speaker 2: of Brady than rooting for the Jets. But right now
Speaker 2: both are on fire. Right now, the Jets have won
Speaker 2: four in a row while Brady has lost what does
Speaker 2: he lost for at least two in a row, maybe
Speaker 2: three in a row, I'm not sure. I know. Rogers
Speaker 2: has lost three in a row. Yeah, the whatever it
Speaker 2: is for Tampa and the last two losses are horrifying.
Speaker 2: So they've lost four out of five. They beat Atlanta
Speaker 2: after Brady got that you know, very beneficial rough in
Speaker 2: the passer at all. But they lost to Pittsburgh as
Speaker 2: double digit favorites or point favorites, and they lost to Carolina, Demandsey.
Speaker 2: That game went off at thirteen and a half. And
Speaker 2: by the way, now, did I have another two and
Speaker 2: three week against the spread? I did? Did Demand have
Speaker 2: a winning week, which we will discuss later in the show.
Speaker 2: He did. Demand made some sharp bets this week, including
Speaker 2: hitting an unlikely first points of the game will be
Speaker 2: a field goal in the Niners Bucks game or the
Speaker 2: Niners Chiefs game. Pardon me, but what I was gonna
Speaker 2: say is, however, I did put in that teaser I
Speaker 2: told you guys about on the Friday Gambling Show. But
Speaker 2: I the teaser I told you guys about was Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: Las Vegas teased against the Texans, the Raiders. That is
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. He was Las Vegas, New England and Miami.
Speaker 2: I added Cincinnati to it at the last minute for
Speaker 2: a nice little plus two sixty. So I need the
Speaker 2: Patriots tonight badly and that teaser comes in. However, the
Speaker 2: reason I'm bringing that up is I avoided including the
Speaker 2: Bucks in any teaser because they are impossible to trust
Speaker 2: right now now, to answer the questions, Brady's goal always
Speaker 2: was to play until he's at least forty five. And
Speaker 2: I know Gabe's not going to like to hear this,
Speaker 2: but let me give a slight defense of Tom Brady
Speaker 2: off the field for a moment. And this is via
Speaker 2: my friend Laslow, who you know, who does radio in Kinsity,
Speaker 2: does a great job, and he made what I thought
Speaker 2: was a really interesting point, which is the narrative surrounding
Speaker 2: Brady and his pending divorce that Bill Simmons said on
Speaker 2: his podcast this morning that he heard the divorces finalized,
Speaker 2: that that's done with. If not, it's very very close.
Speaker 2: The narrative has been that the last straw in the
Speaker 2: relationship was Brady returning to the NFL. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: that's what everybody thinks. My buddy Elizlo made a very
Speaker 2: interesting point that I'm just going to put out there
Speaker 2: and then we'll talk football. He said, Is it not
Speaker 2: just as likely, maybe even more likely, that the way
Speaker 2: that went down was not that the last straw was
Speaker 2: him returning. It was rather the marriage was hanging by
Speaker 2: a thread and he retired as a last ditch effort
Speaker 2: to save it that he said, you know what, I'll
Speaker 2: quit football.
Speaker 3: I'll quit.
Speaker 2: And then after a month of trying to work through
Speaker 2: it or whatever it was, he realized and they realized
Speaker 2: there is no saving this, and that that was they
Speaker 2: that it was broken, and that's when he was like, well,
Speaker 2: if it's broken, I might as well go back. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Again, I feel a little uncomfortable even talking
Speaker 2: about this. However, the point is I think one. I
Speaker 2: think either of those is just as likely. And it
Speaker 2: feels like everyone just decided the final straw was him returning,
Speaker 2: as opposed to being open to the possibility that the retirement,
Speaker 2: which everyone thought was odd, and the moment and kind
Speaker 2: of rushed that that was his you know that maybe
Speaker 2: that was his attempt to save things and then there
Speaker 2: was no saving things. Okay, So that's the defense of Brady.
Speaker 2: What you can't defend is his play so far this year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's been awful. And I know people will be like,
Speaker 2: eight touchdowns, one pick, they scored three points against them.
Speaker 2: Much against the Panthers, Well, the offensive line is definitely
Speaker 2: responsible for why they can't run the ball, which has
Speaker 2: had a trickle down effect on everything else. Everyone of
Speaker 2: their teams aren't afraid of them running the ball, so
Speaker 2: Brady has dropped back fifty times all of that. However,
Speaker 2: the idea this is is the same thing we're gonna
Speaker 2: get to the Packers next. The idea of having one
Speaker 2: of these guys is even when everything goes awry, they
Speaker 2: are going to fix it. Now, it's not going to
Speaker 2: be enough if all you have is that guy at
Speaker 2: quarterback to beat the best teams. But it should be
Speaker 2: enough to beat the Steelers. It should be enough to
Speaker 2: beat the Panthers. And they have lost these games. They
Speaker 2: have the Chiefs game they lost because the Chiefs scored forty,
Speaker 2: green Bay they lost. Green Bay scored fourteen, Atlanta the
Speaker 2: I'm sorry Pittsburgh they lost. Pittsburgh scored twenty, and Carolina
Speaker 2: they lost. Carolina scored twenty one. So any of those games,
Speaker 2: if they can get to twenty one points or twenty
Speaker 2: two points, I guess they win them all. And that
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay offense this year take out the Chiefs game
Speaker 2: where the Chiefs started playing prevent that Tampa offense points
Speaker 2: scored nineteen twenty. But that twenty, by the way, wasn't
Speaker 2: really twenty by the offense because they had to pick
Speaker 2: six twelve, the thirty one against the Chiefs tentyone eighteen three.
Speaker 2: It's been bad and.
Speaker 3: The last time Tom Brady didn't throw for a touchdown
Speaker 3: in a game?
Speaker 2: That's a good question. But has it happened multiple times
Speaker 2: this year? I'm not sure the I mean, this is
Speaker 2: the worst start to his career in you know, in
Speaker 2: my memory. And as far as let me all go
Speaker 2: to Brady real quick and see, has it happened? No, Well,
Speaker 2: it hadn't happened yet this year, so I don't know
Speaker 2: the last time it happened. But my guess is, honestly,
Speaker 2: it might have happened in a game they won. Well,
Speaker 2: I know they lost like thirty eight to three to
Speaker 2: the Saints at one point last year or something like that,
Speaker 2: so that game would have happened. But the shouldn't answer
Speaker 2: the question, though, which I did not do. Does he
Speaker 2: make it to the end of the season. Yes, In fact,
Speaker 2: I'm not even certain this will be his last season.
Speaker 2: I think he might go play for someone else next year.
Speaker 2: I don't think this is a weird thing. I don't
Speaker 2: think he's played well, but I also don't think he's done, like,
Speaker 2: I think he still has something left. I think he's
Speaker 2: in a spot though, where everything needs to be. He
Speaker 2: needs to be on the Bucks team he was on
Speaker 2: two years ago. Awesome weapons, great offensive line because he
Speaker 2: can still make the throws. But he's not in a
Speaker 2: place anymore where he can carry you. But with all
Speaker 2: that said, in the NFC this year, in that division
Speaker 2: in particular, I still think the Bucks are gonna make
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Okay, now I do not think that about
Speaker 2: our next topic, next next topic?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 2: Oh by the way, our poll, will the Bucks turn
Speaker 2: it around? Seventy percent say no? Yeah, just rot one
Speaker 2: last thing before we get to the packers. I guess
Speaker 2: we have to define turn it around because the fact
Speaker 2: of the matter is right now, in that division, you
Speaker 2: just have to be better than Atlanta. In the NFC,
Speaker 2: South Tampa and Atlanta three and four, and Carolina and
Speaker 2: New Orleans are two and five. And I know Carolina
Speaker 2: just beat them, but they are both they have both
Speaker 2: been outscored on the year by twenty five points and
Speaker 2: they're both terrible. Yeah, so I just you just got
Speaker 2: to be better than Atlanta, and Atlanta got their teeth
Speaker 2: kicked in this week as as predicted on the show.
Speaker 2: Why I didn't include Cincinnati my picks?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: All right, Next, speaking of quarterbacks that are holding their
Speaker 4: teams hostages, Yeah, Aaron Rodgers and the Pikers have lost
Speaker 4: their third straight and this time to a backup quarterback.
Speaker 4: Rogers demanded fifty million dollars fifty million dollars contract, yet
Speaker 4: it's frustrated he has no one to throw the ball to.
Speaker 3: Is the Packers mess on Rogers or is it in
Speaker 3: the front office? Uh?
Speaker 2: Well this I'm gonna put the lion's share here on
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. The defense hasn't been great and the receivers
Speaker 2: have not uh you know, popped. But you have now
Speaker 2: lost to Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson, and Taylor Heineke in
Speaker 2: three straight weeks. Okay, now I understand the argument the
Speaker 2: defense needs to be better. That's fine. You are the
Speaker 2: back to back defending MVP, the highest paid player in
Speaker 2: the sport, and you on the year have been mediocre.
Speaker 2: You throw for two hundred and thirty yards a game,
Speaker 2: six and a half yards per attempt. You do not
Speaker 2: look like the same guy yesterday against Washington. Washington, and
Speaker 2: by the way, it's another game where now that it
Speaker 2: was early, but it's another game where you have a
Speaker 2: ten point lead. So they're up fourteen to three on
Speaker 2: Washington and they end up losing twenty three twenty one.
Speaker 2: In fact, I want to look at that. I am
Speaker 2: now thinking of a topic that I want to do
Speaker 2: on the TV show. The only reason I'm saying to
Speaker 2: the TV show and not here is because the like,
Speaker 2: I don't have it built out yet. But Rogers this
Speaker 2: year with a double digit lead versus Mahomes this year
Speaker 2: when trailing by double digits. So Rogers this year had
Speaker 2: a double digit lead against the Bears and won it.
Speaker 2: Had did he ever have a double digit lead against
Speaker 2: the Patriots, I'm checking real quick. They did not. That
Speaker 2: game was nip and tuck the whole way, by the way,
Speaker 2: that overtime against the Patriots on anything preventing them from
Speaker 2: having a two score, Yeah, exactly. He had a double
Speaker 2: digit lead against Tampa and won barely, and then had
Speaker 2: a double digit lead against the Giants late and lost
Speaker 2: it against the Jets. They never had, They didn't. So
Speaker 2: he's two and two. Rogers is two and two this
Speaker 2: year went up by ten plus Mahomes is three and
Speaker 2: Zhero went down by ten plus. You can't be blowing
Speaker 2: these games and Rogers has to at some point. I
Speaker 2: mean again, yesterday, it's like, oh, he was fine, ninety
Speaker 2: nine passer rating, two touchdowns, SnO picks. He threw for
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety yards against Washington, one hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety yards on the season. The everything that is Rogers
Speaker 2: is usually amazing at he's nowhere to be found. He's
Speaker 2: tenth in the league in passing.
Speaker 3: LEAs as what is?
Speaker 2: What was his deep shots used to be the most
Speaker 2: devastating player in the league. They're gone. So he's tenth
Speaker 2: in the league in UH passing yards, he's sixth in
Speaker 2: the league in UH passing touchdowns, and he's middle of
Speaker 2: the pack in passer rating. So has he been awful?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Is he the highest paid player in the sport? And
Speaker 2: does he need to be better? Yes? More notably, I
Speaker 2: did a little thing. We're gonna do it on Thursday Show.
Speaker 2: By the way, also book club debut on Thursday.
Speaker 3: Show.
Speaker 2: Your book came in the mail, so you got it.
Speaker 2: You got forty pages tree before Thursday. Remember Little History
Speaker 2: of the World by E. H. Gombrech is the book
Speaker 2: we've got, we're gonna have until Thanksgiving to read it,
Speaker 2: and then we're going on to the next book that
Speaker 2: the guy from Penguin Press suggested. But I did this
Speaker 2: thing today that we're gonna do on today's show, which
Speaker 2: is I took the odds every team's playoff odds in
Speaker 2: each conference and put them in there one through sixteen
Speaker 2: where according to Vegas, most likely and least likely to
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. So I have them each I have locks, possible, unlikely,
Speaker 2: and locked out. So, for instance, just quickly, according to
Speaker 2: the playoff odds, Philly, Minnesota, and Dallas are locks to
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, and Detroit, Carolina and Chicago are essentially
Speaker 2: locked out. They are all of those teams are either
Speaker 2: ten to one to make or one to tend to
Speaker 2: make or ten to one to miss. In the AFC,
Speaker 2: the locks are Buffalo, Kansas and Kansay the only real locks,
Speaker 2: and the locked out is Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Houston in Denver.
Speaker 2: And then you have the teams in the middle. Here's
Speaker 2: why I bring this up. Green Bay for the first
Speaker 2: time all year, is an underdog to make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: They are plus one fifty to make the playoffs. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Minnesota is minus nine to fifty to make the playoffs,
Speaker 2: which it speaks to what giant divisional favorites they are.
Speaker 2: By the way speaking, I asked for the extra time
Speaker 2: and we're still not even to the final segment. This
Speaker 2: is Monday NFL football shows. We have a lot to
Speaker 2: discuss here. So Green Bay is now three and four.
Speaker 2: You're asking me if I'm done with them. The answer
Speaker 2: is yes, I think they're cooked. Do you know off
Speaker 2: the top of your head. It's fine if you don't
Speaker 2: who they play this week. Let me let me Titan. No,
Speaker 2: let me put it to you a different way.
Speaker 3: Don't look.
Speaker 2: Hold on, don't look. Chiefs are on a buye and
Speaker 2: then they play the Titans coming Bay next. If you're
Speaker 2: a team that needs to get right, that is lost
Speaker 2: three in a row, what is the single worst team
Speaker 2: right now you could face next week the Lions? No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: In the other direction, the team that you are least
Speaker 2: likely to beat.
Speaker 3: Oh, covey the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: No, the Chiefs running buy all right? The Bills is
Speaker 2: the answer. They play the Bills in Buffalo next week.
Speaker 2: So the Green Bay Packers are three and four. They
Speaker 2: have games left against Buffalo, Dallas, Tennessee, Philadelphia, the Rams,
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, and Minnesota. That's seven of their remaining games.
Speaker 2: The only easy games they have left are at Detroit,
Speaker 2: at Chicago home for Detroit. Okay, so give them those
Speaker 2: three wins. That's now six wins. How many do we
Speaker 2: think you need to make the playoffs? My guess is
Speaker 2: get you in nine, mic, right, So of those seven games,
Speaker 2: if they went, if they beat they win in Detroit,
Speaker 2: they win in Chicago, and they win home against Detroit, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, given how they're playing, or not locks.
Speaker 2: Even if you give them those three wins, they have
Speaker 2: to find at least three, probably four wins of at
Speaker 2: Buffalo home for Dallas, home for Tennessee, at Philly home
Speaker 2: for the Rams, at Miami home for Minnesota. I think
Speaker 2: they're done. The Packers are done, and I think everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 2: Rogers might retire. I don't think Rodgers leaving that fifty
Speaker 2: million on the table, but I think Rogers is an
Speaker 2: elite quarterback is over. I think that is over with
Speaker 2: all right, last topic.
Speaker 4: All right, the Giants, the six and one Giants that
Speaker 4: that are the most surprising team of the year so far.
Speaker 3: They have the Seahawks, Texans.
Speaker 4: And the Lions in the next three games, and they
Speaker 4: could easily be nine and one by time we get
Speaker 4: to the thing Thanksgiving Days showdown in Dallas. Yeah, Daniel
Speaker 4: Jones is in a contract year, has done enough to
Speaker 4: get the g man here.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: It seems like if you don't.
Speaker 4: Have a top five quarterback, it's best that you have
Speaker 4: a mobile one that doesn't make mistakes. Is Daniel Jones
Speaker 4: actually good or will this all fall through the cracks
Speaker 4: come postseason?
Speaker 2: Okay, Daniel Jones is not actually good. He is doing
Speaker 2: a good job of not turning the ball over and
Speaker 2: I will give him credit for that. Here's going to
Speaker 2: be my most controversial take. Okay, the Giants are not good.
Speaker 2: The Giants are six and one. Their only loss is
Speaker 2: to a very good team in Dallas, and they are
Speaker 2: not good. The Giants, what they are doing in winning
Speaker 2: all of these one score games is simply not sustainable.
Speaker 2: Chance they're winning margins this year are one, three, eight, five,
Speaker 2: four and six. I am here to tell you the
Speaker 2: Giants are fool's goal. Now, Giants fans get mad at me.
Speaker 2: Those guys at the bodega, they get upset with me,
Speaker 2: and Brian Dabole is not fools goal. Brian Daboles awesome,
Speaker 2: and Sakwan's been great. And Daniel Jones he was the
Speaker 2: most fumbling ist player in NFL history. He has stopped fumbling,
Speaker 2: which has drastically changed his quality of play, and he
Speaker 2: runs the ball a lot more. The the idea that
Speaker 2: the the Giants are too smart and Dable's too smart
Speaker 2: for them to think like, oh, Jones has earned a
Speaker 2: contract extension, that's not the that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2: Do they maybe bring him back on a franchise tag
Speaker 2: or something? Maybe, but I don't even know that. I
Speaker 2: recommend that. I actually think Jimmy g is going to
Speaker 2: end up on the Giants next year. But set that aside.
Speaker 2: That's neither here nor there. The Giants absolutely Now, let's
Speaker 2: you mentioned the schedule at Seattle, they're underdogs, they then
Speaker 2: have a bye, They're then a home for Houston and Detroit.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean they're gonna be eight and two
Speaker 2: with going into that Dallas game with two games left
Speaker 2: against Washington. So even if they lose to the good teams,
Speaker 2: they have left on their schedule and they have a
Speaker 2: home game against Indy. Could the Giants win twelve games? Yes?
Speaker 2: Is it on the board they win thirteen games?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: And will I rush to the betting counter to bet
Speaker 2: against them on the road in their first playoff game?
Speaker 2: You bet your ass I will, because here's the thing
Speaker 2: that's unfortunate for Giant fans, given what Philly is doing
Speaker 2: unless Philly. Now, I guess they're only one game back
Speaker 2: of Philly the but it is overwhelmingly likely now that
Speaker 2: the Giants. Yes, they make the playoffs, and yes they
Speaker 2: have a gaudy record, but they won't win the division,
Speaker 2: which means they'll be the five seed at best and
Speaker 2: on the road the whole way. So they'll be the
Speaker 2: five seed on the road against the winner of either
Speaker 2: probably against either Tampa or San Francisco. And I am
Speaker 2: here to tell you I will be betting on Tampa
Speaker 2: or San Francisco in a game against the New York
Speaker 2: Giants in the postseason. Flatly I will be. You're not
Speaker 2: gonna be able to talk me out of it. By
Speaker 2: the way, in those playoff odds, the Giants are only
Speaker 2: minus two seventy, so their favorites to make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: But Vegas still thinks there's an outside shot at a collapse,
Speaker 2: just as a for instance, there Tampa, who we just
Speaker 2: talked about how bad they've been, have the same playoff
Speaker 2: odds of minus two seventy. Okay, that was a twenty
Speaker 2: seven minute first segment. That was good. We have a
Speaker 2: lot more NFL to get to. We have a lot
Speaker 2: more of your comments to get to. By the way,
Speaker 2: in the poll that we did in the live chat
Speaker 2: on you YouTube, seventy five percent said Aaron Rodgers is
Speaker 2: to blame for the Packers struggles. However, we're gonna take
Speaker 2: about a sixty second break and come back and for
Speaker 2: you back to the NFL. We will talk about the
Speaker 2: disaster that was last night in the Lakers game. That
Speaker 2: and what they do with Ross plus rest the NFL

Speaker 2: eighty six. Hope you're watching us live on YouTube. By
Speaker 2: the way, let me check big. This is episode eighty six.
Speaker 2: I was hoping we could go, you know, episode per
Speaker 2: episode as far as like YouTube subscribers. So at eighty
Speaker 2: six we'd have eighty six thousand, eighty seven week because
Speaker 2: the goal is to get to one hundred thousand before
Speaker 2: before January, and then Demonta gets a thousand dollars bonus. However,
Speaker 2: oh whoops, Oh my goodness, I just really messed up.
Speaker 2: I was trying to check right now on our YouTube
Speaker 2: page how many subscribers we have, because I think we
Speaker 2: just passed up past the threshold.
Speaker 3: Eighty point eighty and a half eighty point five thousand.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good, that's good. If we add how long
Speaker 2: until New Year's We've got call it ten weeks, so
Speaker 2: we got to add five hundred. No, that would be wrong. Oh,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be hard. It's like ten weeks though, got
Speaker 2: to add two thousand a week.
Speaker 3: Twenty five hundred, two thousand.
Speaker 2: A week is gonna be hard. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you're gonna get that thousand Bucksubscribe on YouTube America to
Speaker 2: his favorite Yeah, that'd be a good idea, wearing one

Speaker 2: Before we get to our game, let's talk a little hoops.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, all right.
Speaker 4: The Lakers are zero and three after they lost to
Speaker 4: the Blazers on Sunday. Yeah, so bad that we're interrupting
Speaker 4: the show. We're interrupting football to roast it. Yeah, Russ
Speaker 4: has been bad. But Lebron airball to three from the
Speaker 4: logo give me a break? Yeah, I don't give me
Speaker 4: a break.
Speaker 2: By the way, the producer, I want to see who
Speaker 2: in our group chat of the producers sent that video
Speaker 2: and called Lebron a bad teammate. Moe's Moe's is now
Speaker 2: the Lebron slander. Lebron James is the third oldest player
Speaker 2: in the whole league, and all he's done so far
Speaker 2: this year is give you twenty seven a level and seven,
Speaker 2: twenty seven, eleven and seven. The last night's game, he
Speaker 2: gave you thirty one to eight to eight. Did he
Speaker 2: miss the game winner? He did miss the game winner.
Speaker 2: Should he have ever been in the position to where
Speaker 2: they needed the game winner? Of course not. He's also
Speaker 2: leading the Lakers in minutes. How is Lebron averaging more points, rebounds,
Speaker 2: assists and minutes than Anthony Davis? How is that possible
Speaker 2: when Anthony David is supposed to be in his prime?
Speaker 3: But go ahead, Anthony Davis has been good, but.
Speaker 2: He's been fine.
Speaker 3: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Is your take gonna be the Lebron as such a
Speaker 4: genius that he's been planning the tank for Wimby.
Speaker 2: No, because they don't have their pick, right, the Pelicans
Speaker 2: get it. The Pelicans get the Lakers pick either this
Speaker 2: year or next year. They get to decide, and they're
Speaker 2: gonna I mean, if the Lakers keep this up.
Speaker 3: But that's not the point.
Speaker 2: The point is this, Because I know football was on yesterday,
Speaker 2: so people maybe didn't see the end of the game.
Speaker 2: The Lakers were up by eight with four minutes left,
Speaker 2: and then they were up by five, I'm sorry, up
Speaker 2: by seven with two minutes left, and then fell apart,
Speaker 2: and here were the possessions. After being up by seven,
Speaker 2: Blazer's cut it to five. Patrick Beverly, Patrick Beverly, wh
Speaker 2: somehow part of the crunch time offensive lineup misses a
Speaker 2: three by four feet. They then the Blazers score. Lebron
Speaker 2: then does a thing Lebron's are doing his whole career.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's always plus ev, but it's not
Speaker 2: as bad. The numbers make it look worse than it is,
Speaker 2: which is he takes an like a tough three that
Speaker 2: would be the win them the game, but he does
Speaker 2: it where the reason that would typically just be terrible.
Speaker 2: But the reason it's not terrible is he always does
Speaker 2: it at one second on the shot clock, so it's
Speaker 2: like we're up, We're up a possession or two at
Speaker 2: the very least. What's going to happen here is we're
Speaker 2: going to use the whole shot clock, and if I
Speaker 2: make it, the game's over. The Blazers then go down
Speaker 2: and score and This is when the true travesty happens.
Speaker 2: There's thirty five seconds left. When the Blazers score, they
Speaker 2: are down one. Russ gets the ball and races up
Speaker 2: the court to take a mid range jump shot, takes
Speaker 2: it with twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Seconds loft twenty seven damn.
Speaker 2: No, I thought it was like eighteen or No. Took
Speaker 2: it with twenty seven seconds left in that game. By
Speaker 2: the way, in Russ's defense, he was red hot up
Speaker 2: to that point. He was four of fourteen. His justification was,
Speaker 2: I wanted a two for one. It wasn't That's what
Speaker 2: he That's what he said. That's what he said. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it wasn't a tie game. Now listen, if it's a
Speaker 2: tie game, that is not a terrible play, even for
Speaker 2: it being Russ. Because if it's a tie game, it
Speaker 2: is super important to get a two for one because
Speaker 2: what you don't want is to use the whole shot
Speaker 2: clock miss and then the Blazers controlled the last shot.
Speaker 2: But the Lakers were leading, so you were going to
Speaker 2: get a two for one no matter what. Because the
Speaker 2: Blazers trailing by one, we're gonna go fast because they're
Speaker 2: not idiots and they know down one, we want to
Speaker 2: go as fast as possible. So if we miss, you
Speaker 2: got plenty of time. If we miss, we foul. Worst
Speaker 2: case scenario, we're down three. Instead, Russ rushes. The team's
Speaker 2: not even up the court yet. So many problems. One
Speaker 2: is why is Russ on the court? I I I
Speaker 2: was talking to Brew this morning and Brew was like, listen,
Speaker 2: it's obviously a bad shot by Russ, but the Lakers
Speaker 2: got to know. You can't give him the ball. There
Speaker 2: can't give him the ball?
Speaker 3: Is playing shooting guard right now.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what he is, but
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: This, Why is he on the court if we can't
Speaker 3: give it ball?
Speaker 2: Exactly can't. It's not like they gave him the ball
Speaker 2: three on the shot clock. They inbounded to him and
Speaker 2: he ran up the court.
Speaker 3: I honestly think.
Speaker 4: Russ, this go ahead, got a little good look charm
Speaker 4: for you?
Speaker 2: What's that hold on?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 2: Guys? Have something for me. I don't know what this is,
Speaker 2: but I'm telling you right now, if this is a
Speaker 2: Patrick Beverly Lakers jersey, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2: I'll open it on the air, but they joked about it.
Speaker 2: If this is a Patrick Beverly Lakers Jersey.
Speaker 3: Oh look at that.
Speaker 2: You've got to be kidding me. They really bought it,
Speaker 2: They really bought it. This podcast might be Demonsi's flute game.
Speaker 2: Are you all right, buddy Old? Are you all right?
Speaker 2: Maybe lay off the vape pin a little bit, and
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, try to get healthier. This is
Speaker 2: such garbage. I cannot believe you guys spent real money
Speaker 2: on this and authentic. They didn't even go cheap. They
Speaker 2: got me an authentic. Patrick, I can't even believe they
Speaker 2: sell these things. That's okay. But Beverly, amazingly is not
Speaker 2: the problem. Patrick Beverly, who this year, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 2: has been terrible. Do you know what Beverly has done
Speaker 2: this year? Everyone's killing Russ and they should be killing Russ.
Speaker 2: But can I tell you Beverly's this is this accurate?
Speaker 2: This is on believable, This is truly unbelievable. I didn't
Speaker 2: realize this. Beverly this year has not taken a two pointer,
Speaker 2: not a layup, not a mid range shot, nothing. He
Speaker 2: has only taken threes. And he is one for five,
Speaker 2: one for six, one for three. So on the year,
Speaker 2: Patrick Beverly is three for fifteen from three, which is
Speaker 2: actually better than the Lakers team average. Russ, on the
Speaker 2: other hand, on the year is seven for twelve, zero
Speaker 2: for eleven, four for fifteen from the field, and overall
Speaker 2: one for twelve from three. So Russ is shooting twenty
Speaker 2: nine percent from the field and eight percent from three.
Speaker 2: The Lakers overall on the season are shooting hold on
Speaker 2: where is it? Uh twenty three? So I guess Patrick
Speaker 2: Beverley's not above the team everage. Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 2: is gotten to this point with Russ. Yeah, if you
Speaker 2: don't want to trade him yet because you want to
Speaker 2: wait and see if there is a better trade available
Speaker 2: than the Pacers trade, you have to send him home.
Speaker 2: You can't play, You just can't. You tried bringing him
Speaker 2: off the bench. He then very conveniently got a hamstring injury,
Speaker 2: and it's like, I don't know about coming off the bench.
Speaker 2: By the way, sidebar, a bubbling NBA story is that
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard has already sat out a game and is
Speaker 2: playing like twenty minutes a night. He got hurt. I
Speaker 2: think when Trump was president, I don't understand how that's happened.
Speaker 2: To set that aside, you got to send Russ home.
Speaker 2: You can't play him. You just can't play him. And
Speaker 2: if you're not gonna pull off, if you're not gonna
Speaker 2: do the trade, so be it. If you want to
Speaker 2: wait on it. He's unplayable.
Speaker 4: And the hampsteing things honestly kind of annoying, like if
Speaker 4: it's if it's false.
Speaker 3: Obviously him getting hurt isn't annoying, but.
Speaker 2: It's not great. If it was like a threat to
Speaker 2: be like, this is what's gonna happen if you.
Speaker 3: Here's what you know what I think if you were
Speaker 3: playing good, let me let me.
Speaker 2: Revise the take. I would make him the sixth man
Speaker 2: and see if the hamstring pops back up. And if
Speaker 2: it does, fine, then we don't even have to send
Speaker 2: your home. You're just hurt. But this is untenable, and
Speaker 2: I don't you know what I'm I'm debating whether i'd
Speaker 2: make him the sixth man or just bench him entirely.
Speaker 2: But that that decision last night was such a bleep
Speaker 2: you to his teammates and to his coach and to everyone.
Speaker 2: It was so bad. All right, let's get back to football.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, all right, we got a game. It's called
Speaker 3: this or that let's play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, first one we got Dak and Tua both got
Speaker 4: wins in their return from the injuries for the Cowboys
Speaker 4: and the Dolphins. The quarterback who will have the better
Speaker 4: season Dak or Tua.
Speaker 2: Listen, Tua tried to throw a hat trick of picks
Speaker 2: last night and they were all dropped. It's unbelievable the
Speaker 2: lucky he had last night, but it was his first
Speaker 2: game back. Demonse had the Dolphins and the under the Dolphins,
Speaker 2: you would have been so mad because it was Dolphins
Speaker 2: minus six and a half and they won by six.
Speaker 2: You just bet the Dolphins money line and the under
Speaker 2: and it ended up working out great. I think Tua
Speaker 2: will overall have a better season. I think the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Are we talking about the Cowboys later in the show. No, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, so then let's just do it right here
Speaker 2: for a second. I got it, listen. I thought the
Speaker 2: Lions could win that game. And by the way, it
Speaker 2: was ten to six. The Lions were at the inch
Speaker 2: line and they fumbled and then Dallas reeled off like
Speaker 2: fourteen straight and it ended up being looked like a
Speaker 2: blowout when the Lions could have taken over. I can't
Speaker 2: believe the Lions didn't cover. I can't believe they didn't
Speaker 2: cover the seven when it looked like they could have won.
Speaker 2: But I gotta give the Dallas defense credit.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Every week they step up and that Lion's offensive line
Speaker 2: is awesome, and it didn't matter. They still what did
Speaker 2: they force golf into five turnovers? I think they forced
Speaker 2: golf into five turnovers? I know, or no, Golf maybe
Speaker 2: had four turnovers and the Lions had five turnovers. Whatever
Speaker 2: it is, I think I've picked against the Cowboys, and
Speaker 2: not necessarily in our gambling picks, but overall, I think
Speaker 2: I've picked them on television to lose every single week.
Speaker 2: And they're five and two, and so the one game
Speaker 2: I might have picked them to win was the Giants
Speaker 2: game which they lost, which no, they won that game,
Speaker 2: so listen, I give them credit. That defense has been
Speaker 2: even better than advertised. But Dak Dak was not great
Speaker 2: by any stretch yesterday. Now his first game back, we'll see.
Speaker 2: But the weapons the Dolphins have, Tua just has to
Speaker 2: be a one read guy and they can still against
Speaker 2: most teams make things happen. He was really rusty yesterday.
Speaker 2: They escaped with a win, so They're gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: I think the Dolphins are a playoff team. Cowboys are
Speaker 2: a playoff team. But amazingly, I actually think TWOA is
Speaker 2: gonna have the better year. It doesn't mean I trust
Speaker 2: to him more, but I think he's gonna have the
Speaker 2: better year.
Speaker 4: All right, next, all right, Baltimore one Sunday, but once
Speaker 4: again had trouble closing the game out. Lamar went for
Speaker 4: only one hundred and twenty passing yards and sixty rushing yards.
Speaker 4: Lamar has earned an extension or showed limitations.
Speaker 3: Both both of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, the Lamar was playing like an
Speaker 2: MVP the first three weeks of the year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
Speaker 2: I don't know that anyone could almost mid now.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I don't love that frazy alo almost mid. Okay, it's
Speaker 2: not the almost part. Well, it's the mid part. Listen,
Speaker 2: Lamar hasn't been good in a month, and now he's
Speaker 2: going to get the extension. And he has earned the extension.
Speaker 2: And I can only say this so many times. The conversation,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to try to lay it
Speaker 2: out the best I possibly can. The Lamar Jackson conversation,
Speaker 2: The Lamar Jackson the football player conversation is a great
Speaker 2: microcosm for how broken we are as a society along
Speaker 2: racial lines. So let me explain that quickly. Lamar got
Speaker 2: attacked and discounted and questioned by a lot of folks
Speaker 2: before the draft, and it was obviously tinged, if not overt,
Speaker 2: racial implications about his intelligence, the position he should be playing,
Speaker 2: all these things. So that was awful and gross. He then,
Speaker 2: by the way, was unbelievable and one of the MVP's
Speaker 2: first year all this stuff. However, when I say how
Speaker 2: broken we are racially, this is not a both sides
Speaker 2: are equally complicit thing, but this is where both sides
Speaker 2: have dishonest actors thing. Because of that, some of the
Speaker 2: smartest football commentators who also happen to be pretty typically
Speaker 2: very progressive people, very forward thinking people, and people that
Speaker 2: make it very important to be anti racist. Because of that,
Speaker 2: a lot of those people have just pretended they don't
Speaker 2: see any limitations to him when they're obviously there, and
Speaker 2: because they don't want to be lumped into the category
Speaker 2: of the folks that were attacking this awesome player clearly
Speaker 2: because they think a black quarterback of his style could succeed,
Speaker 2: they now are regarding the fact that, no matter what
Speaker 2: rates Lamar was, the guy has significant limitations as a passer.
Speaker 2: Now does he make up for it as a runner,
Speaker 2: as an athlete all of those things for the most part,
Speaker 2: usually yes this past month, as he barely this past month.
Speaker 2: Had the Ravens been in situations where if Lamar played better,
Speaker 2: they would have won, of course the Ravens are. They
Speaker 2: beat New England and Lamar was unbelievable in that game,
Speaker 2: right if we just go back since the Miami game,
Speaker 2: So they beat the Jets Week one, who cares the
Speaker 2: Miami game. They lose, but Lamar was unbelievable. They beat
Speaker 2: New England because Lamar was great. That was Week three.
Speaker 2: Week four against Buffalo, they blow a seventeen point lead,
Speaker 2: in large part because of Lamar's two late turnovers. Week
Speaker 2: five against Since they win in a lot of ways
Speaker 2: despite Lamar's mediocre performance, okay to score nineteen points. They win.
Speaker 2: Week six against the Giants. Lamar has two late turnovers,
Speaker 2: including one horrible one, and they lose because of it.
Speaker 2: And then yesterday against Cleveland, Lamar throws for one twenty
Speaker 2: and he ran the ball for sixty yards. That was fine.
Speaker 2: But we've got to be able to have multiple thoughts
Speaker 2: at once that one of them can be The folks
Speaker 2: that said Lamar would never make it as an NFL
Speaker 2: quarterback were obviously wrong. A lot of them made themselves
Speaker 2: look incredibly foolish. And also say, Lamar now in year four,
Speaker 2: is it year four? Year five? This is you know
Speaker 2: what I'm no, this is year five, Lamar, because Mahomes
Speaker 2: is in year six, Lamar is the fifth year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this year five, Lamar. Now in year five, we wish
Speaker 2: he would be a little more sophisticated as a passer,
Speaker 2: and that in gotta have it, gotta have passing situations
Speaker 2: that he had evolved more. Those are fair. Lamar's unanimous
Speaker 2: MVP year he had thirty six touchdown six picks in
Speaker 2: a one to thirteen rating, The next year twenty six
Speaker 2: to nine touchdowns, interceptions in ninety nine rating, last year
Speaker 2: sixteen to thirteen and an eighty seven rating. Well, he
Speaker 2: was hurt this year thirteen to six and a ninety
Speaker 2: two rating, better than last year, but still worse than
Speaker 2: his second and third year. Those things can be true,
Speaker 2: and people can't be afraid to say it just because
Speaker 2: you feel like he got unfairly criticized. It's like patronizing
Speaker 2: the way he's talked to sometimes. So with all that said,
Speaker 2: he's still, without a doubt, one of the ten best
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the league. And those guys get extensions. Damn,
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray got an extension. I'm not sure he's one
Speaker 2: of the fifteen best quarterbacks in the league. So Lamar's
Speaker 2: earned the extension, but he's got to play better, all right, next?
Speaker 3: All Right.
Speaker 4: Two weeks ago, Josh Allen at three hundred and seventy
Speaker 4: yards in the first half. This week, Joe Burrow had
Speaker 4: three forty five. Both had an opportunity to break the
Speaker 4: single game record but cooled off pretty late.
Speaker 3: Who's eventually breaking the record?
Speaker 2: Alan or Burrow? All right? And this record has stood
Speaker 2: since nineteen fifty one. Norm van Brockln said it. I
Speaker 2: thought it was nineteen fifty four, but I might be wrong. No,
Speaker 2: I probably just have that wrong in my head. Because
Speaker 2: the record's five hundred and fifty four yards. It's crazy
Speaker 2: that a passing record has stood for seventy years. The
Speaker 2: odds are neither breaking, But of those two, the more
Speaker 2: likely one is Joe Burrow. And here's why. Because Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: When he did what he did a few weeks ago,
Speaker 2: his defense was shutting down the opponent and they just
Speaker 2: went and cruise control the rest of the way. Yesterday,
Speaker 2: when Burrow did what he did, his team allowed ten
Speaker 2: points at the end of the half and he almost
Speaker 2: had to sling it around some more. I trust the
Speaker 2: Bills depense so much more in the Bengals offense the
Speaker 2: Bengals defense that I think it's way more likely that
Speaker 2: a game that Joe Burrow is on fire that it's
Speaker 2: still a close game late because the reason nobody has
Speaker 2: broken this record, it's not because nobody could. It's because
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of instances like this where a
Speaker 2: guy's in the four hundreds midway through and late in
Speaker 2: the third, but they yeah up thirty and so they
Speaker 2: just put it in cruise control. I thought he was
Speaker 2: going to break it yesterday when Atlanta scored those points
Speaker 2: at the end of the half to make it twenty
Speaker 2: eight to seventeen. I was like, he's gonna break this
Speaker 2: damn record. But he didn't. Obviously, all right, next all right, the.
Speaker 3: Jets are five and two.
Speaker 2: Win.
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson still hasn't lost Meanwhile, Gino Smiths just went
Speaker 4: into LA and took out Justin Herbert and the Chargers,
Speaker 4: who supposedly had the NFL's most talented roster.
Speaker 3: More surprising start Jets of the Seahawks.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the Jets, but they're both shocking. And
Speaker 2: if we go back to we want to talk about
Speaker 2: my worst bets ever, let me find it.
Speaker 4: Really, I think the Seahawks probably make you feel better.
Speaker 4: What do you mean as far as like their story
Speaker 4: this season, well with their success makes you feel I'm.
Speaker 2: Just mad at myself though, because if you remember, you
Speaker 2: know I was fading Russ so much, and then I
Speaker 2: just assigned the Seahawks being like the worst team in
Speaker 2: the league. And I should have been like, hold on,
Speaker 2: like those two things from your conflict problem. But when
Speaker 2: I talk about a terrible bet, remember before the year
Speaker 2: when I did that one. So I did one big
Speaker 2: parlay of make playoffs and miss playoffs the make one.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling all right about Ken City, Baltimore, Indian San Francisco. Now,
Speaker 2: INDI's losing to the Titans this week. Indy might screw
Speaker 2: me on that, but I think the Niners gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: Baltimore can't sitting gonna make playoffs? My miss playoffs bet?
Speaker 2: Now I'm looking at these I had Denver missed the
Speaker 2: playoffs of plus money. Those great bet. Cleveland missed the
Speaker 2: playoffs at minus one seventy. That was a great bet.
Speaker 2: But I did that one parlay. And these were the
Speaker 2: four teams I had. And I think right now, if
Speaker 2: the playoffs started today, they might all.
Speaker 3: Be in New England.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember that in Atlanta. Yeh, who's alive?
Speaker 2: The Jets and the Seahawks. Now they none of those
Speaker 2: teams are locks, but one of them is gonna make it.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna lose that bet. So that's uh, but
Speaker 2: it go ahead. What were you?
Speaker 4: I was just about to say, like this NFL season
Speaker 4: seems like none of the teams were really what you expected,
Speaker 4: or like anybody expected them to be before the season started.
Speaker 4: Like a lot of bad teams or supposedly bad teams,
Speaker 4: turned out to be good, and a lot of teams
Speaker 4: that you thought were gonna be great a right, are
Speaker 4: very mediocre, I guess with Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm looking at my preseason when my preseason totals.
Speaker 2: So I had Baltimore at ten and a half as
Speaker 2: a strong over. That one's gonna come down to the wire.
Speaker 2: I had Indy at nine and a half as an
Speaker 2: over that's gonna lose. I had Jacksonville at six and
Speaker 2: a half as an over. I still think they're gonna
Speaker 2: get there. We'll talk about them in a minute. I
Speaker 2: had KC at ten and a half as an over
Speaker 2: that's gonna win easily. I had New England at eight
Speaker 2: and a half as an under that's gonna come down
Speaker 2: to the wire. I had the Giants at seven and
Speaker 2: a half as an under. That's lost, that's dead, that's gone.
Speaker 2: I had the Niners at nine and a half as
Speaker 2: an over that's gonna come down to the wire. And
Speaker 2: I had Tampa at eleven and a half as my
Speaker 2: strongest under, and that one's almost already won, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. They're three and four at eleven and
Speaker 2: a half, the six losses and that's in. So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do okay on a lot of it's gonna come
Speaker 2: down to week seventeen or eighteen. I'm gonna do good
Speaker 2: on my miss playoffs make playoffs bets. The Patriots again,
Speaker 2: I had missing the playoffs, so I need them to
Speaker 2: fall apart. And then, if you remember, I did the
Speaker 2: Division winner parlay of Buffalo, Kansas City, and Indy at
Speaker 2: plus six hundred. Indy losing two to the Titans might
Speaker 2: kill that bet, so that one might be dead. And
Speaker 2: then I had the Kansas City San Francisco super Bowl
Speaker 2: at fifty to one, and they added McCaffrey in the
Speaker 2: NFC like so that one. So I'm gonna do okay
Speaker 2: on those. We'll see how they will update you on
Speaker 2: those later on in the year. But looking at those,
Speaker 2: to answer this question, I didn't see the Jets or
Speaker 2: the Falcons coming. What was the question, Jets are Seahawks.
Speaker 2: I probably should have seen the Seahawks coming more. The Jets, though,
Speaker 2: did just lose bresee Hall, They're awesome. Running back to
Speaker 2: an acl, Zach Wilson still has Zach Wilson thrown for
Speaker 2: two hundred yards in any of these games. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: check real quick, and then I know we're so late today,
Speaker 2: but it's in say it again week five through He
Speaker 2: did I feel like it? You feel like it? Or
Speaker 2: you were just told that you're just saying it off
Speaker 2: the top of your head. All right, you were right.
Speaker 2: Week five he threw for two to ten. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: and the first one against Pittsford threw for two to fifty.
Speaker 2: It's the last two weeks he's thrown for one te
Speaker 2: uh So the Jets are They're both pretty shocking, but
Speaker 2: the Jets are more shocking. All right, last one?
Speaker 4: All right, sadness, you once again bet on the Jags
Speaker 4: and they once again choked away.
Speaker 2: A little later, another fumble going into the end zone.
Speaker 2: I just can't believe this team. I can't believe this team.
Speaker 4: As your son, it is my responsibility to hold an
Speaker 4: intervention or delete fox bet app off of your phone
Speaker 4: while you're sleep.
Speaker 2: You don't have to do either. I'm done betting on
Speaker 2: the Jets. We go for at least a month. I'm
Speaker 2: not for at least a month. I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 2: I can't. This team's up four, they won't kick a
Speaker 2: field to go up seven. They're fumbling going into the
Speaker 2: end zone. They're just it's just heartbreaking watching this team.
Speaker 2: It is heartbreaking watching this team play the Jags. And
Speaker 2: I know I keep saying, you know, I'll hurry. It
Speaker 2: shows so long today I apologize. I just want to
Speaker 2: tell you. Week one against Washington, the Jacksonville Jaguars have
Speaker 2: the lead. Is that yeah? At the two minute warning.
Speaker 2: They lose. Week four against Philly, they are up fourteen
Speaker 2: to nothing. Before you even get home to watch the game,
Speaker 2: they lose, and I was in on that one. Week
Speaker 2: five against Houston, Houston has six points with four minutes left.
Speaker 2: They have another goal line turnover. They lose. Week six
Speaker 2: against Indy, they have the lead with thirty seconds left.
Speaker 2: They lose. Week seven against the Giants, they have the
Speaker 2: lead with six minutes left. They lose. So this seems
Speaker 2: should be god dog five and two. They're two and five.
Speaker 4: Not to play Devil's advocate, but you don't like them
Speaker 4: against the Broncos this week they're at a fan They're
Speaker 4: favored four in London.
Speaker 2: Are they really favored by four?
Speaker 3: Yep? No, I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm told you listen it might be Brett Ripping against
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. I no, I'm done. I'm not betting the
Speaker 2: Jags until Thanksgiving. We will keep me to this. I'm
Speaker 2: not betting them. I'm not including them in my picks
Speaker 2: until at least Thanksgiving. We need a hard reset on
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars. We answer your guys questions from the chat.
Speaker 2: Next What's Right? All right, welcome back. In What's Right?
Speaker 2: Nick Right? Final segment, We're gonna answer questions here. I'll
Speaker 2: try to do these quickly since this show, this is
Speaker 2: gonna be our first show that's over an hour and
Speaker 2: ten minute runtime. A lot going on. Demanse's had some
Speaker 2: issues in this segment having the right dock open. Do
Speaker 2: you have the one with the live questions on there
Speaker 2: or do we need to switch it? No, I've got it,
Speaker 2: You've got it, all right.
Speaker 3: We're starting off with armand armand.
Speaker 2: All right, what's armand want to know armand says Demonse,
Speaker 2: a big fan.
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on the Celtics after one week?
Speaker 4: There's a question for Demanse. Yeah, okay, well this is
Speaker 4: your team, your Celtics.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 3: And I love it? Man?
Speaker 4: I think that uh, I love the Celtics obviously. I
Speaker 4: think that Jason Tatum got that wake up call that
Speaker 4: he needed, and he got a little bit of a
Speaker 4: taste of what it's like.
Speaker 3: To play in the championship last year, and I think
Speaker 3: that he's come with it this year.
Speaker 4: But sadly, I I mean, obviously there hasn't been enough
Speaker 4: of the season. I think that if they don't make
Speaker 4: it this year, that it's like problematic in the following years.
Speaker 3: But always right with him, I hope you're uh.
Speaker 2: I mean Tatum. Listenatum's averaging thirty five a game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's obviously way too early for MVP discussions,
Speaker 2: but Tatum has been as good as anyone in the
Speaker 2: league through three games, right, and they're three and oh.
Speaker 3: And I also bet on him to hit the first
Speaker 3: shot today.
Speaker 2: You're doing first on make sure you're talking to the mic.
Speaker 2: Still you're doing first shot bets?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did three of them actually in the same game.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, yeah, it's no A decreases the.
Speaker 3: It doesn't not when you're betting five bucks apiece.
Speaker 2: Okay, know whether you're doing five okay, but just so
Speaker 2: you know, your best case scenario is losing two and
Speaker 2: winning one.
Speaker 4: I understand that what are the odds with the first
Speaker 4: shot bets? If Al Horford hits the shot, I get
Speaker 4: seventy bucks? Let me, can I look at them? I
Speaker 4: profit off of every single one, all right? Maybe fifteen
Speaker 4: bucks on one of them.
Speaker 2: But it's like, okay, but so here's the all right,
Speaker 2: so I get so you have you have Zach Levine
Speaker 2: at plus seven to fifty, Tatum at plus four to ten,
Speaker 2: and al Horford at plus thirteen hundred. So can I
Speaker 2: tell you how how to do this? Not how to
Speaker 2: do this, but how to do the math on it.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, So you have risked fifteen dollars, right, so,
Speaker 2: but seven fifty and four ten add those things together,
Speaker 2: so we're at twelve or eleven sixty plus thirteen hundred,
Speaker 2: so we're it call it twenty five. So you you're
Speaker 2: twenty five to three over the course of the three bets.
Speaker 2: So you're getting essentially the way to look at it
Speaker 2: is this, You are getting about plus eight hundred on
Speaker 2: the group. You understand what I'm saying, So you're getting
Speaker 2: about eight to one that Lavine, Tatum, or Horford will
Speaker 2: make the first basket. Not terrible. Okay, now look at
Speaker 2: it like that. It's not terrible. Well, you got to
Speaker 2: you gotta make sure because the Tatum thing is plus
Speaker 2: four to ten, so he's only four to one and
Speaker 2: if he makes it, it's really only let's you get
Speaker 2: the lead payout, but also you lose the other ones.
Speaker 2: So it's really the Tatum one is really only like
Speaker 2: plus two to ten for you because you lose the
Speaker 2: other two bets. You understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I definitely would just I get it.
Speaker 2: But okay, that's not terrible though.
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, so he got Laane Kerr.
Speaker 4: If Nick, if Nick's lock of the week is wrong
Speaker 4: again this week, he should have to wear the Beverly jersey.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's never happened. Never happens made Patrick jersey. Well,
Speaker 2: of course they don't sell those. No one's gonna go
Speaker 2: to the store and give me a Patrick Reverlue jersey.
Speaker 2: It has to be custom made. I can't believe I've
Speaker 2: lost six locks in a row.
Speaker 3: Whoa, I love that. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's I've lost six locks in a row. So this
Speaker 2: week I think the Miami one I lost by half point.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Somebody tweeted me and said that, uh, I think that
Speaker 4: Demonse Bird should take over the Locks of the week.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's great. I'm glad somebody tweeted you and
Speaker 2: said that.
Speaker 4: Next, all right, Jonathan says, if Daniel Jones is still bad,
Speaker 4: then Lawrence shouldn't be on an NFL roster.
Speaker 3: Gap between the two this season has been enormous.
Speaker 2: Test I test, Jonathan.
Speaker 4: Good question, Jonathan, it's not even a question, it's a statement,
Speaker 4: A good statement.
Speaker 2: He Jonathan, save that for your own podcast. I'm out
Speaker 2: here telling you we're not doing quarterback wins. Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 2: is obviously better than Daniel Jones. I'm not gonna debate it.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I'm not gonna engage
Speaker 2: in any of this nonsense. Show sounds dumb.
Speaker 3: When we do that.
Speaker 4: Next, all right, Holden says, Hey, Nick, I'm a freshman
Speaker 4: right now at New House, just like you were. I
Speaker 4: was wondering what advice you could give me, What advice
Speaker 4: you could give to a freshman like me wants to
Speaker 4: be a part of the industry.
Speaker 3: Thanks. I really love your work.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, that's a longer talk than we have
Speaker 2: time for right here, because I gotta get to the
Speaker 2: TV show. What I would say is, you're already ahead
Speaker 2: of the game, watching this podcast and going to Syracuse.
Speaker 2: Of course, we're really just watching the podcast. Good for you,
Speaker 2: buddy at Syracuse. Specifically, but this is forever school. Get
Speaker 2: involved in as much as the student as you can.
Speaker 2: But the real piece of advice I would give to
Speaker 2: young people that want to do something like this is
Speaker 2: start doing it and do not concern yourself with following
Speaker 2: or followers or subscribers. And I know that sounds weird
Speaker 2: because I'm always begging for subscribers or whatever different ballgames. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And in fact, I would argue doing it without a
Speaker 2: following is a positive right now because we all are
Speaker 2: terrible at it in the beginning, terrible. So you want
Speaker 2: to be able to find your voice. You want to
Speaker 2: be able to find what your niche is going to be,
Speaker 2: and doing it in anonymity is super useful. So if
Speaker 2: you want, like starting a YouTube page and starting a podcast,
Speaker 2: but do not worry about if the only person listening
Speaker 2: to it is your family, It doesn't matter. You just
Speaker 2: need to get the reps. Like, it takes so long
Speaker 2: to just not suck at this that you want to
Speaker 2: get as many reps as possible while you're in school.
Speaker 2: That way you're closer to not sucking when you get
Speaker 2: out of school. So that it is the It is
Speaker 2: so hard to cut through in this like saturated environment,
Speaker 2: especially if you're doing it totally on your own. So
Speaker 2: still the best way to do it is to get
Speaker 2: good enough to have somebody hire you that already has
Speaker 2: an audience in a platform. The way to do that
Speaker 2: is to get the reps in. And if you're at Syracuse,
Speaker 2: I couldn't recommend War strongly enough. And if you work
Speaker 2: at War or you go there, stop by the talk
Speaker 2: show studio which is named after me and as my
Speaker 2: picture on the wall.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, you heard that? Holding all right, Dan asked Demonsey.
Speaker 4: Will you be watching the Celtics Bulls Nets Celtics Bulls
Speaker 4: Nets Grizzlies or Monday Night Football tonight. I'm definitely watching
Speaker 4: the Celtics game.
Speaker 3: I mean I gotta be there for at least the
Speaker 3: first shot.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, right shot, you're locked in. But we got
Speaker 2: the this is actually where our office setup is perfect
Speaker 2: and that we've got We've got three TVs in like
Speaker 2: an upside down triangle, so we'll have Monday Night football
Speaker 2: on the main screen, and then we'll have various NBA
Speaker 2: games that we kind of recycled through the top screen.
Speaker 2: Uh so demands will be able to watch all of them.
Speaker 2: Nets Grizzlies. Hold on a second, Wait a minute, that
Speaker 2: game better, that game's in, the game's got to be
Speaker 2: in Memphis, right if that game's in Okay, yeah, Memphis.
Speaker 2: I was gonna be like, go to the game, Go
Speaker 2: to the game. You know where we are going on Thursday?
Speaker 3: Oh boy, the boy Gaga to the soccer thing, the
Speaker 3: World Cup.
Speaker 2: No, that's in Qatar and it doesn't start for.
Speaker 4: Oh Nets Nets, Mavericks, Nets, MAVs, Luca Nets, MAVs.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna miss the first quarter of Bucks Ravens in
Speaker 2: order to watch watch Luca in person.
Speaker 4: I'm very excited for you and us. Yeah, but uh,
Speaker 4: did you see the past.
Speaker 3: That he threw? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you think that was a pass or a shot?
Speaker 3: I think it was on pass.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was, but it was. If
Speaker 2: it's it's one of the greatest passes ever.
Speaker 4: Lucas said that there's no way that I'm going up
Speaker 4: for a layup and not hitting the back toward not hitting.
Speaker 2: It's a good take. You know, that's a great take.
Speaker 2: All right, there's been an excellent show. Oddly enough, it
Speaker 2: started with Demonse furious with me because I had the
Speaker 2: audacity to be mad at him forgetting for forgetting part
Speaker 2: of the equipment. But we rallied, oh you were mad,
Speaker 2: but you were mad, buddy.
Speaker 3: I've actually got a piece to speak on that.
Speaker 2: We go ahead, No we need go ahead, go ahead,
Speaker 2: go ahead, say whatever you want, air it out here.
Speaker 2: Demonse forgot his AirPods, and I got annoyed.
Speaker 3: Dreams come true here No.
Speaker 2: Demanse forgot his air pods and I and I had
Speaker 2: the audacity he'd be like, well that's a problem. You
Speaker 2: need them, and he all angry stopped.
Speaker 3: Because it comes to the pod.
Speaker 4: Well, you you don't feel like I'm pretty I'm pretty
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 3: You are like I'm pretty on.
Speaker 4: It in the one time for me to like, I
Speaker 4: just sound like I forgot my whole case. I brought
Speaker 4: the case and the AirPods aren't in you we're in
Speaker 4: it all the ones o cheese.
Speaker 2: Well all I said, listen, I said, I said, that's
Speaker 2: a big problem. I and you know what, I stand
Speaker 2: by it. Big problem. You got no one.
Speaker 3: Maybe they could have told me that it was the
Speaker 3: bills earlier.
Speaker 2: Were exactly right. They could have been like, hey, dummy,
Speaker 2: you look ridiculous right now. So I was like, do
Speaker 2: you want my AirPod? Like, what do you want? Monzi's all.
Speaker 2: We were like ninety seconds to Air America and de
Speaker 2: Monse was angry. He was like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 2: maybe it's just me. I could tell He's like, you
Speaker 2: always picking on me, finding something I did wrong. I
Speaker 2: forget one thing, make a big deal out of it.
Speaker 2: And Demonse also was sharp because I we were on
Speaker 2: a pre show call and I hung up the call
Speaker 2: and I said to him, was like, Yo, are you upset?
Speaker 2: And de Monse was like, Yo, man, we have hot mics.
Speaker 2: I don't really want to talk about it all that happened,
Speaker 2: but you rally. I love you. Great job, good job,
Speaker 2: all right, we will be back on Thursday. Have a
Speaker 2: great day, everybody,
