Speaker 3: Welcome in episode ninety eight, What's Right with Nick Wright
Speaker 3: after a great listen, Yesterday was not a great day
Speaker 3: of football, but it was a great evening of football.
Speaker 3: It You know, it is so nice in such a polarizing,
Speaker 3: trying times, seemingly tragedy after tragedy, blotting the news with
Speaker 3: the holidays coming up, that all of us have won
Speaker 3: part of our lives that we can rely on, which is,
Speaker 3: if Patrick Mahomes is the nationally televised game, we can
Speaker 3: all as a country get together and collectively watch the
Speaker 3: greatest player to ever play. Show us once again, Why
Speaker 3: is the greatest player to ever play? I said to
Speaker 3: Demons yesterday, I don't eat. You know how people if
Speaker 3: they have traumat childhoods, they block out memories. They just
Speaker 3: have big patches of time missing. I said to Montay yesterday,
Speaker 3: I don't even know how I was a football fan
Speaker 3: before Patrick Mahomes came into my life. I don't know
Speaker 3: how I dealt with Matt Castle and Brody Troyle and
Speaker 3: even the Alex Smith and Trent Green years were decent,
Speaker 3: but you just knew that the hammer was coming at
Speaker 3: some point. Now you are the hammer. Now you get
Speaker 3: to be that guy, I gotta tell you rooting for
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes ten out of ten strongly recommend. Here is
Speaker 3: what is not on the show today. Not making the
Speaker 3: show today is Kyrie rejoining the Nets. Also, I don't
Speaker 3: think making the show today Klay Thompson showing one forty
Speaker 3: one and back to back good games. But yesterday's game
Speaker 3: was outstanding and they needed all of it to beat
Speaker 3: the Rockets because they're not any good. But Clay Clay
Speaker 3: bouncing back is a great story. The Rams dropping to
Speaker 3: three and seven, Matt Stafford injured. The Rams are two
Speaker 3: weeks away from officially having the worst defense of a
Speaker 3: Super Bowl in NFL history, and that is a guarantee
Speaker 3: that it's coming. Do you know off the top of
Speaker 3: your head who the Rams play next week?
Speaker 4: By the way, Uh, maybe the Bills.
Speaker 3: No, the Chiefs. Oh, they play the Chiefs. That'd be nice.
Speaker 3: And then Team USA at two pm Eastern today on
Speaker 3: Fox plays Wales. If you're watching US live, it obviously
Speaker 3: hasn't happened yet. England just trounced a run in the
Speaker 3: opening game today. Yesterday Ecuador crushed Cutter in the opening
Speaker 3: game of the World Cup. We will cover the World
Speaker 3: Cup on this show. However, the England Whales game, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: the US Whales game, pardon me, which is, if the
Speaker 3: US wins that game, I see no scenario where they
Speaker 3: don't advance to the group stage. If they lose that game,
Speaker 3: they're starting off way behind the eight ball. A draw
Speaker 3: would be okay, but a win and you're in great shape.
Speaker 3: I'm predicting a nothing to nil. I should say United
Speaker 3: States win. If you're listening to this, you know, after
Speaker 3: the game is played, you'll see how I do. All right, demons,
Speaker 3: let's get to it. What are we starting with today?
Speaker 4: A new weyek, same story, man, The Chiefs were down
Speaker 4: late and came back. This week's victims the LA Chargers,
Speaker 4: who scored a touchdown with one six remaining. Yeah. Mams
Speaker 4: led a seventy five yard drive capped off with a
Speaker 4: touchdown from Travis Kelce. Yeah. He also increased his win
Speaker 4: streak in the months of November and December to twenty
Speaker 4: five games.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: He's also never lost a road game in his division,
Speaker 4: which is like pretty crazy, it's impossible. Go ahead?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Uh, Mahomes officially lock up his standing to be MVP.
Speaker 3: Oh well, no, listen, We're gonna talk a lot about
Speaker 3: this game. The idea. I saw a lot of people
Speaker 3: saying that, yes, say, oh, the MVP race is over.
Speaker 3: Let me remind about how the voters in the past
Speaker 3: have screwed this up. In twenty twenty, Patrick Mahomes was
Speaker 3: the defending Super Bowl champion. Defending Super Bowl MVP did
Speaker 3: not win MVP the year before because Lamar did. So
Speaker 3: It's not like voter fatigue. He'd only ever won one.
Speaker 3: They were the defending champs. He played fifteen games, didn't
Speaker 3: play the sixteenth thing because they had everything locked up.
Speaker 3: He went fourteen and one, had thirty eight touchdowns and
Speaker 3: six picks, a one toh eight rating, and got one MVP.
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers won it. Josh Allen finished second, Mahomes finished third.
Speaker 3: So the idea that the voters come the end of
Speaker 3: December might not convince themselves well actually it's Tua, or
Speaker 3: well actually it's Jalen, or some other nonsense that could happen. Now.
Speaker 3: MVP voting changed just on Friday. It got announced previously
Speaker 3: what the NFL had done. Fifty voters submit one name,
Speaker 3: unlike the NBA, where you submit a ballot one through
Speaker 3: five the NFL's changing it where they are submitting a
Speaker 3: ballot now of one through five for MVP. Obviously he's
Speaker 3: the MVP. Obviously he's the best player in the league,
Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean he's gonna win it. Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Speaking of Tua, Yeah, we always get on your head
Speaker 4: for like, you know, like your takes that age badly.
Speaker 4: But you were spot on on the last part about
Speaker 4: getting on the Chiefs after the Charges took the lead
Speaker 4: and getting all the money line. So I'm giving that
Speaker 4: credit where it is due.
Speaker 3: I told you guys on TV and on the pot.
Speaker 3: I told America, don't lay the six. It started at seven,
Speaker 3: got all the way down to four and a half,
Speaker 3: said don't lay that with the Chiefs. Wait until they're trailing,
Speaker 3: and then bet them either minus less than a field
Speaker 3: goal or on the money line. I did both yesterday.
Speaker 3: I made three live Chief Chief bets.
Speaker 4: Yesterday.
Speaker 3: I bet them my is two and a half when
Speaker 3: they were down early, because now you only have to
Speaker 3: win by a field goal. I bet them at halftime
Speaker 3: plus one twenty to win, and then I bet them
Speaker 3: right after the Chargers scored a touchdown at plus one
Speaker 3: seventy when they were down. What would it be down
Speaker 3: four with a minute forty five and two timeouts? So
Speaker 3: I bet them three times live in game I want it.
Speaker 3: So we'll talk big picture in a moment. But about
Speaker 3: that game, people killed me because the Chiefs were up
Speaker 3: three after the Keenan Allen fumble and there was about
Speaker 3: eight minutes left and they're driving. And for me, obviously
Speaker 3: what you're rooting for there is a touchdown, go up
Speaker 3: ten in the game. But my worst case scenario in
Speaker 3: that spot was not a turno. For me, the worst
Speaker 3: case scenario would have been a long drive that ends
Speaker 3: in a field goal, where you go up six, there's
Speaker 3: like three and a half to four and a half
Speaker 3: minutes left, and it's just gonna be the Chargers get
Speaker 3: the ball left. So the Chiefs then fumble and the
Speaker 3: Chargers get the ball with seven minutes left, and I tweeted,
Speaker 3: obviously I wanted a touchdown, but oddly I prefer a
Speaker 3: turnover with seven minutes then a field goal with four minutes,
Speaker 3: and every the replies to that tweet, Oh my god, people,
Speaker 3: so many memes the crying guy with the mask on,
Speaker 3: tell me how this makes sense. But the logic was
Speaker 3: exactly what played out. With seven minutes left, Mahomes is
Speaker 3: getting the ball back, and if Mahomes is getting the
Speaker 3: ball back, we're gonna win. The only thing I didn't
Speaker 3: want was the Chiefs to go up less than a
Speaker 3: full touchdown, take enough time off the clock where the
Speaker 3: Chiefs defense, which played okay yesterday and is better this
Speaker 3: year than in the year's past, but I still don't
Speaker 3: fully trust that the game could end with her just
Speaker 3: driving the field and with twenty seconds left scoring a
Speaker 3: touchdown to go up one. That's so the reason that
Speaker 3: I felt that way is the Chiefs with Mahomes do
Speaker 3: feel inevitable. So it's not just twenty five straight in
Speaker 3: November and December, like you said, it's not just twenty
Speaker 3: four and three his career in the division, which is
Speaker 3: absurd when you consider that division has had Philip Rivers
Speaker 3: justin Herbert, Derek Carr and of course the clown Show
Speaker 3: that the Broncos have had at quarterbacks. But it's not
Speaker 3: like Brady going up against the AFC East forever in
Speaker 3: these terrible divisions career. It's supposed to be a good
Speaker 3: division with good quarterbacks. The fourteen and zero on the
Speaker 3: road is insane. But the more insane numbers are Mahomes
Speaker 3: in his career when trailing by ten points, which he
Speaker 3: never did in this game, win sixty percent of his games.
Speaker 3: Second best is Brady at third. Mahomes now when trailing
Speaker 3: going into the fourth is nine and six sixty percent
Speaker 3: of his games when trailing going into the fourth quarter
Speaker 3: he wins. The next best quarterback I just saw this tweet.
Speaker 3: The next best quarterback on that list is Jay Schroeder,
Speaker 3: who wins thirty five percent of his games. So nobody
Speaker 3: in league history wins thirty six percent of the time
Speaker 3: when trailing going into the fourth except for Mahomes, who
Speaker 3: does it sixty percent of the time. If if every
Speaker 3: game the Chiefs trailed going into the fourth quarter with
Speaker 3: that win percentage, they'd still be a playoff team. It
Speaker 3: is the most remarkable trait any quarterback has ever had.
Speaker 3: And then you add this to it, Kelsey is the
Speaker 3: best time endeavorly.
Speaker 4: So he got like this like three straight games, not
Speaker 4: three straight games, but he's had like a such and
Speaker 4: such amount of games with three plus touchdowns. Oh well,
Speaker 4: so this year I think he just broke a record
Speaker 4: last night.
Speaker 3: Okay, so he might have so he has two games
Speaker 3: this year with three plus touchdowns. He has a four
Speaker 3: touchdown game against the Raiders, a three touchdown game against
Speaker 3: the Chargers. The record he broke last night was most
Speaker 3: career one hundred yard games by a tight end. The
Speaker 3: record that in that single game parlay that I thought
Speaker 3: he was gonna like that him over eighty and a half. Also,
Speaker 3: no other tight end in NFL history has ever had
Speaker 3: four consecutive thousand yard seasons. Kelsey is one hundred and
Speaker 3: forty five yards away from his seventh consecutive thousand yard seasons.
Speaker 3: So it is I mean, he's thirty three years old,
Speaker 3: by the way, and he did it yesterday against Derwin James,
Speaker 3: the best safety in the league and a guy who
Speaker 3: historically has given Kelsey some problems. His final three catches
Speaker 3: were three touchdowns, all touchdowns, and they won them the game.
Speaker 3: And so you see these other quarterbacks like two time
Speaker 3: defending MVP Aaron Rodgers, who loses Davante Adams and is
Speaker 3: in shambles all year. The Chiefs trade away Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 3: mccol hardman injured for this game, Juju injured for this game.
Speaker 3: Kidarius Tony injured during this game. Who gives it in
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, and that then brings us to this.
Speaker 3: Kent Swanson tweeted the rest of the AFC westpan a
Speaker 3: billion dollars to the throne the Chiefs, and it's over
Speaker 3: by Thanksgiving. So the Raiders added Davante Adams and Chandler
Speaker 3: Jones and traded a first in the second round pick.
Speaker 3: The Chargers added J. C. Jackson and Khalil Mack. The
Speaker 3: Broncos added Randy Gregory and Russell Wilson and traded what
Speaker 3: was it to first two seconds and three players. Those
Speaker 3: six players got five hundred and eighty million dollars worth
Speaker 3: of contracts. The Chiefs let Tyron Matthew, traded away Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 3: got younger, got extra draft picks, got extra cap room
Speaker 3: moving forward, and they are right now to win the division.
Speaker 3: And we're not yet to Thanksgiving minus seven thousand. So
Speaker 3: you want to win one hundred bucks on the Chiefs
Speaker 3: win the AFC West, all you gotta do is lay
Speaker 3: seven thousand dollars and you win a nice tidy one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars. They're the biggest favorites of any team to
Speaker 3: win any division in the league. It was supposed to
Speaker 3: be the toughest division ever. And I'm going to add
Speaker 3: one other point, thirty two teams left if you rank
Speaker 3: them one through thirty two. As far as remaining strength
Speaker 3: of skeale, so the combined record of all their opponents,
Speaker 3: the hardest schedule remaining is the Giants. They have Philly,
Speaker 3: they have Washington, Gopinas, they have Dallas. The teams they're
Speaker 3: playing have a combined winning percentage of like six't eighty.
Speaker 3: The easiest remaining schedule in the NFL the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 3: So the benefit to playing nine of your first ten
Speaker 3: games against teams the previous year with a winning record
Speaker 3: is if you can get through at eight and two,
Speaker 3: it's smooth sale. And the rest of the way they
Speaker 3: are at Cincinnati, they are home for Seattle as their
Speaker 3: only games left against teams with a winning record. They
Speaker 3: have another game I would the Chiefs remain. Other than
Speaker 3: those two games, they have Houston, two against Denver the Raiders,
Speaker 3: and one other game that I can't remember right now.
Speaker 3: They are running away. They are going to run away
Speaker 3: with the one seed and it's not even going to
Speaker 3: be close. And so what's the one game I forgot?
Speaker 3: The Oh, the Rams the Rams this week. Right, the
Speaker 3: Rams are one of the three worst teams in football,
Speaker 3: The Texans, who are the worst team in football, the
Speaker 3: Broncos two of them against them, who have the worst
Speaker 3: offense in football, and the Raiders in the final week
Speaker 3: of the year, when the Chiefs will probably recipe, and
Speaker 3: then a tough game against Cincy and a tough ish
Speaker 3: game at home against Seattle Man. So many of my
Speaker 3: colleagues look like utter buffoons. Oh, the Chiefs are going
Speaker 3: to finish third in the division. Oh, the Chiefs took
Speaker 3: a step back of the AFC WES, the toughest division ever. Okay,
Speaker 3: somebody told y'all. Somebody told y'all, and I'm not in
Speaker 3: at you know what? We can move on? Do you
Speaker 3: want to say anything?
Speaker 4: No, I was just gonna say a while ago, imagine
Speaker 4: if it would have been in Kelsey instead of.
Speaker 3: Turry Kill that they traded away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you think that would have been a You
Speaker 4: think they would have been A I.
Speaker 3: Think that Kelsey is more valuable to the Chiefs than
Speaker 3: Tyreek jis. Well. Also, I think he is so far
Speaker 3: and away better than every other tight end you could.
Speaker 3: You can't duplicate what he does Hill, Mike he and
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson the two best receivers in football. And you
Speaker 3: can't duplicate what Tyreek does, but you can piece meal
Speaker 3: some of it together. You get a super fast guy
Speaker 3: in Hardman, you get you know what I mean. You
Speaker 3: can get a shifty guy in Kadarius Tony. You can't
Speaker 3: do it with Kelsey. Kelsey, after Mahomes, is the second
Speaker 3: most important chief and third, by the way, is Chris Jones,
Speaker 3: who quietly has had the second best season of any
Speaker 3: defensive player in football, behind only Michael Parsons. All Right,
Speaker 3: by the way, Paul, question, is Kelsey the greatest tight
Speaker 3: end ever? Sixty six percent say yes, thirty four percent
Speaker 3: are wrong.
Speaker 4: Next, all Right, went into Minnesota and blew out the Vikings.
Speaker 3: Lost me a bet.
Speaker 4: Vegas may have known what they were talking about when
Speaker 4: they made Dallas a road favorite. Many people suspect that
Speaker 4: Many people suspected that the Vikings weren't as good as
Speaker 4: their record por trade, including you. Obviously, Minnesota now has
Speaker 4: a negative point differential for the season. Was this a
Speaker 4: Minnesota market correction or is it a doubts or is
Speaker 4: Dallas the top five team when.
Speaker 3: Dallas is rolling they do look like a top five team.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta stop betting against them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be wise advice. What do you think
Speaker 3: Dallas at home on Thanksgiving against the Giants? What do
Speaker 3: you think? The line is.
Speaker 4: Plus six and a half?
Speaker 3: Dallas, Me Dallas favorite Dallas, Dallas by seven and a half.
Speaker 3: So you're right, You're right in line, all right. So
Speaker 3: the Vikings and the Giants, by the way, are combined
Speaker 3: fifteen and five, and their combined point differential is negative one.
Speaker 3: Those teams are not as good as their record suggest.
Speaker 3: And also, by the way, a little more embarrassing for
Speaker 3: that loss for the old Buffalo Bills last week. Oh
Speaker 3: you blow a seventeen point lead against a team that
Speaker 3: then just gets forty to three. That game to Momsey
Speaker 3: got taken off TV TV, And do you know how
Speaker 3: bad a Blawn has to be for the networks to
Speaker 3: take the Cowboys off TV in favor of Pittsburgh Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: And they did it not like with four minutes left,
Speaker 3: they did it in the third quarter. They're like, this
Speaker 3: thing is over. Listen, Collard looks awesome for Dallas. That defense,
Speaker 3: you know, after having a really poor showing against the Packers,
Speaker 3: is back to what it's been doing, and Michael Parsons
Speaker 3: was back to not exclusively but spending most of his
Speaker 3: time rushing the passer like he should have been, which
Speaker 3: is smart, and it was really exceptional job by the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: There's no way around it. If I'm doing the top
Speaker 3: five teams, this is just be off the top of
Speaker 3: my head, the Chiefs and the Dolphins have to be
Speaker 3: on there. I think I have the Niners up there.
Speaker 3: I know the record doesn't demand it. The Eagles deserve
Speaker 3: to be right in there, and then the Cowboys will
Speaker 3: be right alongside the Ravens, the Bills. We'll see the Bengals.
Speaker 3: A few more questions there. Yeah, I mean top five,
Speaker 3: top six. I gotta be honest with you. We're gonna
Speaker 3: talk a lot of Cowboys on the TV show today.
Speaker 3: I gotta find something interesting to say about them, because
Speaker 3: as good as they were yesterday, I don't have like
Speaker 3: a super hot or interesting Cowboys take. They kicked the
Speaker 3: crap out of the Vikings, yea, and to me it
Speaker 3: was more an indictment on the Vikings. I'd love to
Speaker 3: give Cowboys a ton of credit, and they do deserve
Speaker 3: it for winning that game. After the terrible Packers loss.
Speaker 3: It could have spiraled for them. It didn't, But to
Speaker 3: me that was the road. That was more about the Vikings.
Speaker 3: I understand the Vikings taking a you know, a exhaling
Speaker 3: after the win against Buffalo, but that was such a
Speaker 3: no show and such an embarrassing performance. It does make
Speaker 3: you wonder the Vikings if they're the two seed in
Speaker 3: the NFC, is they likely are gonna be and they're
Speaker 3: playing a home Round one playoff game against, for instance,
Speaker 3: San Francisco, Are you gonna feel comfortable with the Vikings
Speaker 3: at all? I'm not sorry, I'm just not all right.
Speaker 4: Next all right, Despite a win against Carolina fifty seven,
Speaker 4: the audist, by the way, I always forget to do this,
Speaker 4: says Dallas is not a top five team.
Speaker 3: And by the way, your questions or your comments put
Speaker 3: him in the chat. We'll get to them in the
Speaker 3: sea block. All right, go ahead, all right.
Speaker 4: Despite a win against Carolina on Sunday, Lamar Jackson has
Speaker 4: cooled off considerably after a hot start to the season.
Speaker 4: At the end of September, you said that the Ravens
Speaker 4: made a mistake by not giving him that extension. Now
Speaker 4: it looks like they are paying him the contract.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now it's.
Speaker 4: Looking like they may have been right. Was Lamar's huge
Speaker 4: bet on himself miss misguided?
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. And it's not because Lamar
Speaker 3: is playing out of this world. It's because we all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, let's list the quarterbacks that we know
Speaker 3: are good. Okay, quarterbacks that we know are good, in
Speaker 3: no particular order. I'll just go through the standings. Okay,
Speaker 3: I'll just go through division by division. AFC's Josh Allen,
Speaker 3: and I'll include to it. I don't. I don't yet
Speaker 3: know Toua is good, but let's include him because he's
Speaker 3: playing so great. Okay, we're it too. In the AFC
Speaker 3: North Joe Burrow, we'll include Deshaun Watson even though he
Speaker 3: hasn't played football in two years. Okay, word four. In
Speaker 3: the AFC South Titans Colts, I'd love to include Trevor
Speaker 3: I can't yet in my heart he's included. Texans. No.
Speaker 3: AFC West Mahomes, Herbert Carr not sure, and we know
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson isn't. Okay. N FC East Jail and dak Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones in Heinike obviously not in it. NFC North
Speaker 3: set Kirk Cousins over here, Okay, Aaron Rodgers, don't know
Speaker 3: Justin Field's not enough yet. A dynamic but not enough yet.
Speaker 3: NFC South nobody. I mean, there's Brady, but Brady is
Speaker 3: forty five years old, Like, you know, he's not a
Speaker 3: sustainable player. Inn FC West put Gino over there because
Speaker 3: g know's you know what I mean, Jimmy g No,
Speaker 3: Kyler put him over there. And then Stafford, who's in
Speaker 3: real trouble. There are only eight quarterbacks that we know
Speaker 3: we're good with some question marks around the others. So
Speaker 3: even if you have all of those eight, which I
Speaker 3: wouldn't better than Lamar, Lamar's gonna get paid, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. Nobody took a like. Even if you've
Speaker 3: been disappointed with how Lamar's played as of late, he
Speaker 3: is by any definition, a top ten quarterback. With Stafford
Speaker 3: going in the wrong direction, Rogers going in the wrong direction,
Speaker 3: Kyler going in the wrong direction, Russell Wilson going in
Speaker 3: the wrong direction, Derek Carr going in the wrong direction,
Speaker 3: Jimmy G's staying in the same direction right, Gino, Jalen
Speaker 3: and Tua are the three guys who prior to this year,
Speaker 3: we wouldn't have said are very good who have now
Speaker 3: elevated themselves to good. But we've had a half dozen
Speaker 3: guys go in the other direction. And there are certain
Speaker 3: guys that I didn't even mention that we now know
Speaker 3: we can just write off. We can just right off
Speaker 3: Mac Jones, we can just write off Zach Wilson. They're done.
Speaker 3: Trevor's is a question mark for some I like him,
Speaker 3: but we call him a question mark. We can right
Speaker 3: off Russell Wilson, he's done. We can right off I
Speaker 3: know people get mad at this. You can write off
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones. He finally had to throw the football yesterday
Speaker 3: and you saw what happened. So some of these now
Speaker 3: you can a guy who was starting to get written
Speaker 3: off but is now moving in the right directions. Justin Fields. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But so when you have these young quarterbacks, so many
Speaker 3: of whom were like, oh, we don't know you, and
Speaker 3: now they're out, and only one guy in justin Field's
Speaker 3: like oh we didn't know, now he's in. So Lamar
Speaker 3: has helped himself not by virtue of him being great,
Speaker 3: but him being fined and the rest of the league
Speaker 3: just going in the wrong direction, so they'll I'll tell
Speaker 3: you right now if you don't think so. There's two
Speaker 3: types of franchise tags, right. There's the exclusive franchise tag,
Speaker 3: which would be forty five million for Lamar next year
Speaker 3: and fifty five million the year after, fully guaranteed each year,
Speaker 3: and then he'd be a true free agent. And then
Speaker 3: there's the non exclusive franchise tag, which would be cheaper,
Speaker 3: but a team can forfeit its next two first round
Speaker 3: picks and sign the player away from you. You don't
Speaker 3: think the New York Jets, if the Ravens put the
Speaker 3: non exclusive tag on Lamar, would give Lamar the best
Speaker 3: contract any player's ever gotten in NFL history. You don't
Speaker 3: think they'd offer him six years, three hundred million, fully guaranteed,
Speaker 3: fifty million a year for six years, fully guaranteed. I do.
Speaker 4: They can change up some situations.
Speaker 3: Right, And so that's why the Ravens didn't play this way,
Speaker 3: because the market for him, even without him playing at
Speaker 3: a super high level the last six weeks, the market
Speaker 3: for him has gone up, not gone down. All right, next, All.
Speaker 4: Right, we were pretty sure Josh McDaniels is the worst
Speaker 4: coach in football this week, but not to be outdone that.
Speaker 4: Hackett did a hell of a job blowing the game
Speaker 4: to Vegas.
Speaker 3: Picks, my goodness.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they both make JEP Saturday look like Vince Lombardi.
Speaker 4: Which AFC train wreck is in a worse spot moving forward,
Speaker 4: Denver or Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not even close.
Speaker 4: We already know the answer here, by the way, Broncos
Speaker 4: are owing three and overtime right now.
Speaker 3: The answer is Denver, and it's gone by the line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so some of.
Speaker 3: These Denver stats are not to be believed. Their record
Speaker 3: with Demons, they're three and seven, okays are all three
Speaker 3: and seven right now? Yes, but two and oh against
Speaker 3: the Broncos, the Raiders, one and seven against the NFL,
Speaker 3: and two and oh against the Bronco. Uh. The Denver
Speaker 3: Broncos at three and seven would have the best record
Speaker 3: in the NFL if every game they scored eighteen points,
Speaker 3: If through regulation they had eighteen points, they would have
Speaker 3: the best record in the league. Eighteen points would make
Speaker 3: you a bottom five scoring offense. And if they did that,
Speaker 3: they have the best record in the league. So Denver
Speaker 3: is out future picks, so they're gonna give to Seattle
Speaker 3: potentially a top five pick. Yeah, Like, let's sh They
Speaker 3: also signed Russell to this absurd contract. I don't know
Speaker 3: that there is a team in the league except for
Speaker 3: possibly if Stafford's cooked, which I don't know that he is.
Speaker 3: Rams could be in real bad shape. Donald could retire.
Speaker 3: You know, they are also out future picks. They gave
Speaker 3: Stafford a big deal. All the quarterbacks who got big deals,
Speaker 3: by the way, Russell got a deal prematurely. Disaster, Rogers
Speaker 3: got a deal disaster, Kyler got a deal disaster. Stafford
Speaker 3: got a deal. Disaster. Four quarterbacks got signed this off season.
Speaker 3: But Denver, what do they have left? All right? They're
Speaker 3: at the Panthers this week.
Speaker 4: I mean they're all gonna be games.
Speaker 3: Then home for the Ravens. I'm sorry, at the Ravens,
Speaker 3: pardon me, home for the Chiefs, home for the Cardinals,
Speaker 3: home for the Rams, or at the Rams, at the Chiefs,
Speaker 3: home for the Chargers. So Ravens, Chiefs, Chiefs, and that
Speaker 3: Chargers game might the Chargers probably it's Week eighteen. It's
Speaker 3: for them, it'll be. They have to win to have
Speaker 3: a chance to make the playoffs. Those are four, can't
Speaker 3: see how they possibly win it. So Panthers let's say
Speaker 3: they go undefeated Panthers Cardinals, Rams, which I don't think
Speaker 3: they will. That means they're six and eleven. Their ceiling
Speaker 3: is six and eleven. They have a real shot at
Speaker 3: being four and thirteen and giving they owe a first
Speaker 3: and a second round pick to Seattle. It's a disaster
Speaker 3: for them, a total.
Speaker 4: Also a disaster for their defense. I feel bad for
Speaker 4: those guys.
Speaker 3: Best defense in the league. Yeah, every week the defense
Speaker 3: holds the opponent to sixteen or less, and every week
Speaker 3: they lose. And and by the way, in it, and
Speaker 3: I this was not a second guest, This was a
Speaker 3: first guess. I'm gonna tell you guys, if you weren't
Speaker 3: watching it, this was another Natthacket special at the end
Speaker 3: of this game. But Russell Wilson was a co conspirator
Speaker 3: in this. So at the was that the game? Yeah?
Speaker 3: That was the game. So here's the situation. It's third
Speaker 3: and ten, it's the two minute warning. The Raiders are
Speaker 3: out of timeouts, they're down three points. The ball is
Speaker 3: on the Denver thirty four. Okay, if you run the football,
Speaker 3: play takes five seconds forty second a play clock punt
Speaker 3: the ball you are punting the ball with Then, with
Speaker 3: the Raiders backed up down three with a minute ten
Speaker 3: left and no timeouts against that defensive yours, instead they
Speaker 3: call a pass play. A pass play and what where
Speaker 3: I say, Russell Wilson's a co conspirator. I Russell Wilson.
Speaker 4: Talking about the incomplete pass where he's like running off yesne.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go down, take the sack. Yeah, if you don't
Speaker 3: have an easy completion there, take the sack, eat this
Speaker 3: eight yards of loss and take forty seconds off the
Speaker 3: play clock. Instead, the Raiders get the ball, of course,
Speaker 3: with a minute forty three left, would have been a
Speaker 3: minute three and they end up kicking the field goal
Speaker 3: with sixteen seconds left. It's just terrible. Russ has to
Speaker 3: know better than that. In fact, we were I just
Speaker 3: thought about this. We were gonna talk about the Eagles
Speaker 3: Colts game briefly on the TV show today. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: text them and say, we have to talk about the Broncos.
Speaker 3: We have to talk about the Broncos. It's too much
Speaker 3: of a disaster to not talk about the Broncos. We'll
Speaker 3: do that next Well, no, that's gonna be on the
Speaker 3: TV show. I'm gonna fix the NFL playoffs. And we're
Speaker 3: gonna play another game, Nick makes it Right, plus a
Speaker 3: game next What's Right? All right, welcome back in What's
Speaker 3: Right with Nick Right. So it's episode ninety eight. We'll
Speaker 3: get to your questions in your comments in the following segment. Also,
Speaker 3: by the way, I should just note here a few things.
Speaker 3: One is subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, do all those things.
Speaker 3: Also should note this week, because of Thanksgiving, we're gonna
Speaker 3: do a gambling show middle of the week before the
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving games. Would be my guest, but it won't be
Speaker 3: a live show. And then we'll be back on with
Speaker 3: another what with another live show on Monday, and the
Speaker 3: next week's schedule somewhat in the air, and I'll be
Speaker 3: honest about why it's in the air. I'm going to Vegas.
Speaker 3: The plan is to do a regular schedule next week
Speaker 3: on Thursday, a live show on Thursday, in a gambling
Speaker 3: show on Friday. However, if I decide I want to
Speaker 3: go to Vegas a day early, we might adjust it.
Speaker 3: So right now, that's the idea, but we're so that's
Speaker 3: the schedule the rest of the week. I we were go, well,
Speaker 3: you know what, Demanse, I'll let you set this up
Speaker 3: because I took something out of the show to put
Speaker 3: this into the show, because we haven't done this in
Speaker 3: a while, and I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, all right, Time for a segment of Nick
Speaker 4: makes It Right? Yeah, two any playoff teams question mark?
Speaker 4: All right, you made us get rid of the Bills
Speaker 4: topic that was supposed to be here so you could
Speaker 4: talk about something to allegedly fix for the NFL playoffs
Speaker 4: that no one thinks that a're broken. Yeah, So time
Speaker 4: for an impromptu Nicks makes It Right NFL Playoff edition?
Speaker 4: Go ahead?
Speaker 3: Okay. So a couple of years ago, the NFL added
Speaker 3: the seventh playoff teams yep, which means it also eliminated
Speaker 3: a bye for the two seed in each conference. And
Speaker 3: we saw last last year was a year I was like,
Speaker 3: do we need the seventh playoff teams? Because the seventh
Speaker 3: playoff team in the NFC last year was the Eagles
Speaker 3: they got annihilated by the by the Bucks. And the
Speaker 3: seventh playoff team in the AFC was the Pittsburgh Seelers
Speaker 3: and they got mortified by the Chiefs. So it's like, God,
Speaker 3: did we really need them? But then you have a
Speaker 3: year like this year where it's like, oh, I'm glad
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a seventh playoff team because in the AFC,
Speaker 3: you know, the Chargers are the Chargers I believe are
Speaker 3: a good team. They're ruined by the injury bug and
Speaker 3: the you know they are. They have played two games
Speaker 3: against the Chiefs where they controlled the first half and
Speaker 3: then the Chiefs ended up chiefsing them and mahomesing them.
Speaker 3: But those games go different. The Chargers, all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: are seven to three and the Chiefs are six and four.
Speaker 3: Like you know what I mean, you can switch real quick.
Speaker 3: The Bengals right now are the Chargers. By the way,
Speaker 3: are the nine seeds in the AFC right now? So
Speaker 3: I like the fact that there's the extra playoff teams.
Speaker 3: In the NFC right now, the seventh seed is San Francisco.
Speaker 3: San Francisco might go to the Super Bowl. So it's
Speaker 3: I don't mind the seventh playoff seeds, the extra playoff season.
Speaker 3: Here's what I want to change. I do not think
Speaker 3: the final playoff spots those seven seeds should be assigned
Speaker 3: per conference. I think the way it should work is
Speaker 3: the seven seeds are the two best teams of So
Speaker 3: you have thirty two teams in the league, you have
Speaker 3: twelve that make the playoffs traditional right prior to this expansion,
Speaker 3: four division winners top two wild cards in each conference
Speaker 3: AFC and NFC. Of the other twenty teams, I think
Speaker 3: the seventh seeds should be flatly the thirteenth and fourteenth team,
Speaker 3: even if they're both in the same conference. So, for instance,
Speaker 3: I think it is on the board that the Giants
Speaker 3: are about to go into a tailspak. Okay, that the
Speaker 3: Giants are going to go from seven to two to
Speaker 3: nine and eight, but that will be enough to make
Speaker 3: the playoffs in the NFC. But on the flip side,
Speaker 3: what if in the AF seed you have the Bengals
Speaker 3: keep winning and then the Patriots, Jets, Chargers, one of
Speaker 3: them gets hot, gets to ten and seven, but is
Speaker 3: not enough you know what I mean, is not enough
Speaker 3: to make it in So here's what I would do.
Speaker 3: Those seven seeds are conference agnostic, and how we assign
Speaker 3: them is quite simple, since we have kind of damaged
Speaker 3: the two seeds value because you don't get the buye.
Speaker 3: The two seed with the best record of the two
Speaker 3: two seeds gets to pick which of the two seven
Speaker 3: seeds it's gonna play, so you would have like the
Speaker 3: added extra spice of your picking the opponent. You also
Speaker 3: would have potentially cross conference matchups. It also would be
Speaker 3: super fascinating in this regard, which would be the Niners.
Speaker 3: I think people like them because the NFC is so weak. However,
Speaker 3: if the Niners knew, all right, we don't want to
Speaker 3: be the seventh seed here, guys, because we might get
Speaker 3: drafted over to the AFC side of the bracket and
Speaker 3: be playing in Round one in Buffalo or something like that,
Speaker 3: then then you would have because the other problem with
Speaker 3: it the way it currently is is you have a
Speaker 3: potential scenario where a seven seed gets to rest players
Speaker 3: in the final week of the regular season, like right
Speaker 3: now in the NFC, let's say the Giants don't fall off,
Speaker 3: that they stay there. Well, San Francisco's five and four
Speaker 3: with the team's trailing them, Washington, Atlanta, Detroit, Like it's
Speaker 3: totally on the board that the Niners go into Week
Speaker 3: eighteen at nine and seven, locked into the playoffs, and
Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, it's like, well, we can
Speaker 3: sit guys, you know what I mean, We can't improve
Speaker 3: our seed, say Seattle's locked the division, and now you're
Speaker 3: giving the team that snuck into the playoffs it's own
Speaker 3: bye week. So I like the idea. Of course, I
Speaker 3: hate when I say that. Of course I like the idea.
Speaker 3: It's literally my idea that I just came up with.
Speaker 3: Of Course, I like the idea by the seventh seeds
Speaker 3: being conference agnostic and simply being the two best teams
Speaker 3: that weren't one of the top six teams in each conference.
Speaker 3: If that means we get two AFC teams or if
Speaker 3: that means we get two NFC teams, so be it.
Speaker 3: As a little added bonus, the two seed that is
Speaker 3: the best record gets to pick which of those two
Speaker 3: teams that wants to play. That's my solution.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sounds fun. Sounds fun. Yeah. That is a first
Speaker 3: cousin of my NBA playoff idea, which is because it's
Speaker 3: best of sevens, there's no buys. So like home court
Speaker 3: matters in the NBA, but the difference between being the
Speaker 3: one seed and the four seed historic like, it's not
Speaker 3: that big of an edge. The reason one seeds do
Speaker 3: so much better is not because of their path, but
Speaker 3: because they at home. Well, it also they were the
Speaker 3: one seed, because usually it means they were so much
Speaker 3: better than the four seed. But my argument for the
Speaker 3: NBA has always been, you draft your playoff opponent. So
Speaker 3: after the playing is done, you have teams one through
Speaker 3: eight there and the one seed looks at the conference
Speaker 3: and says who they want to play? They say, they
Speaker 3: pick right then and there who they want to play.
Speaker 3: You have the added kind of bad blood of oh,
Speaker 3: they dis respected us, they picked us. The padding going
Speaker 3: to be amazing television, amazing drama. I like the drafter
Speaker 3: playoff opponent in the NBA, and I so this would
Speaker 3: have an element of that. But really what it would
Speaker 3: allow for is it might not happen this year, but
Speaker 3: now that we've expanded the playoffs, there will be a
Speaker 3: year where a team, as a for instance the Chargers,
Speaker 3: and maybe it will happen this year, is ravaged by injury,
Speaker 3: gets it together at the end of the year, gets
Speaker 3: to nine and eight misses the playoffs. Meanwhile, in the
Speaker 3: other conference you have the eight and nine Atlanta Falcons
Speaker 3: that somehow make the playoffs, and we're like, wait, what
Speaker 3: so this team that actually could be good is staying
Speaker 3: at home and this team is just gonna be lambs
Speaker 3: for the slaughter. All right. Now, let's get to our game.
Speaker 3: What's the game?
Speaker 4: Oh, we are playing freak out or chill out? Today?
Speaker 4: Good news the Eagles beat the Colts seventeen to sixteen.
Speaker 4: Bad news, they only beat Jeff Saturday's Colts by one.
Speaker 4: If now I had two bad games in a row,
Speaker 4: should the Eagles freak out or chill out?
Speaker 3: Freakout is too strong, but I certainly would not chill out.
Speaker 3: And we got Green Bay Necks.
Speaker 4: I think that's like the ultimate test.
Speaker 3: All right, so let me let's play. Let's do this again.
Speaker 3: De Monts a little stealing from you know, uh cousin
Speaker 3: sal and Bill Simmons. Guess the lines? What do you
Speaker 3: think the line is? Let me give you the full scenario,
Speaker 3: because I think that's a night game. I know it's
Speaker 3: I know it's on. I know it's on. Yeah, in fact,
Speaker 3: I know it's a night game.
Speaker 4: Are the Eagles at home?
Speaker 3: That's what I'm about to tell you. I'm gonna get
Speaker 3: it exactly right. This game is Sunday night football in Philadelphia,
Speaker 3: the four and seven Packers at the nine and one Eagles.
Speaker 3: The line is.
Speaker 4: What Eagles plus five means mean, yeah, I keep saying
Speaker 4: the egest Eagles minus.
Speaker 3: Five minus full seven damn. So now, lot of respect
Speaker 3: for Green Bay, Yeah, and I do wonder. Listen, the
Speaker 3: Eagles defense deserves a ton of respect. And the Colts
Speaker 3: when Matt Ryan starts are fine. The Colts when Matt
Speaker 3: Ryan starts are not a horrific team. They they the
Speaker 3: two games they played with Ellenger, they looked like they
Speaker 3: were trying to give the season away. But prior to
Speaker 3: that they obviously beat Kansas City. They had, you know,
Speaker 3: they were in a lot of games, and then since
Speaker 3: then they beat the Raiders last week and this week
Speaker 3: they were right there to the very end against Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: If I'm Philly, I'm not freaking out, but I am
Speaker 3: understanding that with how Dallas looked this past week, I
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of games to play with because
Speaker 3: they have Like everyone's been like, oh, the Eagles are
Speaker 3: definitely going to be the one seed, and they're probably
Speaker 3: going to be the one seed. However, they still have
Speaker 3: to the rest of the way. There is only one
Speaker 3: game the rest of the way that I will say, oh,
Speaker 3: that's easy. Home for the Packers is not easy. Even
Speaker 3: though I expect them to win. Home for the Titans
Speaker 3: is a legit hard game. The Titans are as well
Speaker 3: coaching a team in football. At the Giants, the divisional
Speaker 3: game on the roads, at the Bears, the Bears are
Speaker 3: they don't win, but they eventually they'll win. They're interesting.
Speaker 3: Then at the Cowboys. So here's why I bring this up.
Speaker 3: If Dallas wins that game, they're a game back of Philly,
Speaker 3: and Philly has already given up a divisional game, you know,
Speaker 3: earlier in the year against Washington. It could get interesting.
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't freak out or chill out if I
Speaker 3: were Philadelphia. But I also feel resolute in my opinion
Speaker 3: that Philadelphia, while very good, I'm not ready to classify
Speaker 3: them as a great team despite a great record.
Speaker 4: Next, all right, the Bengals took care of business. Feel
Speaker 4: free to roach shore producers about Pittsburgh play. Yeah, that
Speaker 4: one sucked, but go ahead. More importantly, they're only a
Speaker 4: game back from very shaky Baltimore. Should the Bengals freak
Speaker 4: out or chill out.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I don't think they're gonna catch Baltimore, and
Speaker 3: I don't mean to make this a schedule show. But
Speaker 3: remember earlier when I said the Chiefs have the easiest
Speaker 3: remaining schedule, Well, the Ravens have the second easiest remaining schedule.
Speaker 3: The Ravens. Here's who they play the rest of the year. Jaggs, Broncos, Steelers, Browns, Falcons, Steelers,
Speaker 3: Bengals Week eighteen, and they've already beaten Cincinnati once. So
Speaker 3: if I'm the Ravens, if I'm Cincinnati, do I think
Speaker 3: I can play spoiler? Do I think I can go
Speaker 3: on a run similar to last year? Maybe? But do
Speaker 3: I believe if I'm them, that I am going to
Speaker 3: that I that I'm realistically going to catch Baltimore. I
Speaker 3: don't think they're going to catch Baltimore next.
Speaker 4: All Right, the Giants, who you picked minus three were
Speaker 4: destroyed at home by the Lions. They're still in the
Speaker 4: playoffs for now, but they had the Dallas Thursday, then
Speaker 4: have Washington two times in three weeks. Plus they lost
Speaker 4: six players due to injury. Yes, shit, So the Giants
Speaker 4: freak out or chill out? Oh they should freak out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe they've given themselves enough of a cushion. But
Speaker 3: that home game against Detroit, yeah, is a crushing loss.
Speaker 3: And not being able to run the ball on Detroit
Speaker 3: is odd and concerning, and saw Saquon was not good.
Speaker 3: I mean, and you saw yesterday and they lost another
Speaker 3: receiver to injury one Dale Robinson. They said this morning
Speaker 3: is corn acl You saw yesterday for the first time
Speaker 3: in a while. It's like Daniel Jones gonna make some
Speaker 3: plays and he can't do it. He can't do it.
Speaker 4: They was putting together some stuff there.
Speaker 3: He can't do it. Demonse was not ready. They were
Speaker 3: down eighteen like immediately, and Demand was not ready to
Speaker 3: give up the Giants. We're gonna win the It was
Speaker 3: bad pick by me, bad job by me.
Speaker 4: You just also never know what to expect from the Lions, man,
Speaker 4: I know, weird.
Speaker 3: But the Lions. How was it a home game for them? No,
Speaker 3: I know that it was. Listen, that was a shocking
Speaker 3: result for me. I listen, I picked the Giants minas
Speaker 3: three and they lost out right. Obviously, I'm shocked by it.
Speaker 3: It's not what I thought was gonna happen. But to me,
Speaker 3: it was less about the Lions scoring thirty one and
Speaker 3: more about how well their defense played. And the Lions
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, by the way, one three in
Speaker 3: a row.
Speaker 4: We got the next, but the Lion.
Speaker 3: Oh we have the next? Okay, perfect? All right, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Speaking the Lions, they are now on an NFC best
Speaker 4: three game win streak. They are frisky, and it seems
Speaker 4: like they're starting to put it together. Should the rest
Speaker 4: of the NFC freak out or chill out?
Speaker 3: The rest of the NFC freak out or chill out? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think the rest of the NFC can chill out.
Speaker 3: I don't think they have to worry about the Lions.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't mean to be rude to the producers,
Speaker 3: but I thought you misread that, and then I see
Speaker 3: it's a graphic. I'm gonna say that the NFC does
Speaker 3: not need to freak out about the Detroit Lions. Now,
Speaker 3: it's a good they had a good win against the Packers.
Speaker 3: They're you know, the Packers and Bears wins were final seconds.
Speaker 3: The game was in the balance, in the final seconds
Speaker 3: the Giants game, they kicked their ass. Now what I
Speaker 3: will say is this, Nothing would be more thrilling than
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Day. If they can beat the Bills, that would
Speaker 3: be the best Lions winning forever. It would put them
Speaker 3: alive for that final wild card spot. If they were
Speaker 3: to get to I think that would put them five
Speaker 3: and six. Well, the playoffs, I think is a tough putt,
Speaker 3: but they the if they could run this thing up
Speaker 3: to four games. And the Bills are in a weird
Speaker 3: spot because the Bills didn't play well this week, but
Speaker 3: they got the win. They're staying in Detroit though. It's
Speaker 3: kind of a weird situation. They went to Detroit staying there,
Speaker 3: uh because they play on Thursday night. But no, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say the rest of the NFC can go ahead
Speaker 3: and chill out, all right.
Speaker 4: Next, the Jets almost broke their losing streak versus New England,
Speaker 4: but they only scored three points. Zach Wilson said he
Speaker 4: wasn't to blame, but Garrett Wilson said afterwards, we have
Speaker 4: to be better in the passing game. Is it Joe
Speaker 4: Flacco tar should Zack Wilson freak out or chill out? Oh?
Speaker 3: He should freak out.
Speaker 4: That was a bad, bad game.
Speaker 3: Okay, he should freak out. He's the worst quarterback in football,
Speaker 3: all right, the worst quarterback in football. He was awful
Speaker 3: last year on a bad team.
Speaker 4: Worse than Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson way worse than Russell.
Speaker 4: Weren't even allow him, my dude to throw.
Speaker 3: No, they did let him throw.
Speaker 4: He loo.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I gotta give you Zach Wilson game walk. Okay,
Speaker 3: I mean this is really bad. Got sacked twelve times. No,
Speaker 3: he got sacked four times. It's twelve and the two
Speaker 3: games combined. Oh yeah, Okay. Yesterday he was nine of
Speaker 3: twenty two for seventy seven yards.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: The week before the winning and that's coming off of bye.
Speaker 3: The win against Buffalo, he had one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: four yards. The previous week against any By the way,
Speaker 3: it was, it was Mac Jones and Zach Wilson combined twelve. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The previous week they played New England, he threw for
Speaker 3: three to fifty five, but he threw three egregious interceptions
Speaker 3: in that game. The week before that he threw for
Speaker 3: one to twenty one. The week before that he threw
Speaker 3: for one ten. On the season, he's completing fifty five
Speaker 3: percent of his passes. Demonse. He has four touchdown passes
Speaker 3: on the year to five picks. He is a passer
Speaker 3: rating of seventy three. He also seems like a jerk. Also,
Speaker 3: did you see the story about him from before the season.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, not a good not good. So no,
Speaker 3: the Jets. The Jets are once again in the market
Speaker 3: for a quarterback. And here's the thing. I think the
Speaker 3: Jets are good. Lamar well, they love to get Lamar.
Speaker 3: They're probably gonna end up settling on Jimmy. But the
Speaker 3: Jets are good and that their best running back got
Speaker 3: hurt a few weeks ago. They have a good running
Speaker 3: game even without him. Yesterday obviously, I mean they had
Speaker 3: two yards off. It's the second half. That defense is excellent,
Speaker 3: Salad is great at it. But they need a quarterback
Speaker 3: and they're gonna win too many games too. Can you imagine,
Speaker 3: I mean, the Jets might make the playoffs. Can you
Speaker 3: imagine Zach Wilson in a playoff game. I might take
Speaker 3: out a home equity loan to bet against Zach Wilson
Speaker 3: in a playoff game. So yeah, they should, they should
Speaker 3: freak out. They should absolutely, unequivocally freak out. We answer
Speaker 3: your questions next, What's Right? All right? Welcome back in
Speaker 3: episode ninety eight, What's Right with Nick? Right? So Monday, Beau,
Speaker 3: since only doing one other show this week is a
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Monday will be our one hundredth show. How about that, demonse. No,
Speaker 3: we're not gonna quite get to one hundred thousand subscribers
Speaker 3: by Monday, but one hundred. We're gonna get to one
Speaker 3: hundred shows. Be great. If we get to one hundred
Speaker 3: thousand subscribers on YouTube by the end of the football season,
Speaker 3: Demanzi gets a thousand dollars bonus. There. All right, quickly,
Speaker 3: are you ready to promote the twitch stream yet or.
Speaker 4: We Yeah, Dusty made me look like a fool. I
Speaker 4: should have just tweeted the freaking link, but I tweeted
Speaker 4: out in all caps.
Speaker 3: Okay, I do something. Okay, nobody knows who Dusty is,
Speaker 3: so let me just tell the audience. Dusty is the
Speaker 3: one of the producers and former stats producer and now
Speaker 3: segment producer for the TV show. He's also a big
Speaker 3: time gamer demand, and I also helped Dusty move into
Speaker 3: his apartment. Not sure how that works, Listen, I'm not
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm the best sports television personality in America.
Speaker 3: I mean, Coward and Shannon or exists, so it's hard
Speaker 3: to say I'm the best. I will say I'm the
Speaker 3: only one that in the last twelve months has I
Speaker 3: have helped one of my producers carry boxes into their apartment.
Speaker 3: But go ahead. So what did Dusty do?
Speaker 4: Uh? He? I tweeted it out in words and I
Speaker 4: attached the handle. I said, you know this is the
Speaker 4: handle the yeah, and then Dusty was just like, you know,
Speaker 4: just tweet out the link, idiot. Yeah, he was like,
Speaker 4: I'll just do it for you myself. Now, I just
Speaker 4: tweeted the link.
Speaker 3: Okay, So if you want to what's the name of
Speaker 3: the stream? Right upside down? Right upside down? Right with
Speaker 3: a W or no? No, right with R Okay, right
Speaker 3: upside down?
Speaker 4: Yeah, just like the analogs on the on the left side,
Speaker 4: you know, the up right like I got it up right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it. It's a good name. So right, okay,
Speaker 3: don't worry abide, You're fine. That's right right upside down.
Speaker 3: You almost forgot my own hand. Yeah, right upside down?
Speaker 3: Is that if you guys want to watch demanse get
Speaker 3: kills on call of duty. Here's the thing I'm gonna
Speaker 3: need you. I I don't you know, you're a grown man,
Speaker 3: but we're using this platform to promote that. So I'm
Speaker 3: gonna need a request. Okay, you're gonna have to minorly
Speaker 3: like PG thirteen the language for the Call of Duty stream.
Speaker 3: Every once in a while, I'm up in my room
Speaker 3: getting ready to fall asleep, and I think there's been
Speaker 3: a breaking because Demanse is shouting at somebody about call
Speaker 3: of duty. But so right upside down is the Twitch stream.
Speaker 3: You're gonna get that gone. We're gonna try to get
Speaker 3: those subscriber numbers up big before you move out to
Speaker 3: LA in a couple months. All right, Before we get
Speaker 3: to the listener questions and comments, the producer said they
Speaker 3: wanted us to do something here special. Yes, Thanksgiving plans.
Speaker 4: Special.
Speaker 3: Yea, no, that's what?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: What the what do they want you? So we've got
Speaker 3: three questions here. We got game you're most excited about?
Speaker 3: Give me all the questions, aorry.
Speaker 4: Game you're most excited about? Top three Thanksgiving dishes and
Speaker 4: foods and how many plates do you eat?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm excited for all the games, and I'm not
Speaker 3: answering the other questions because that is the most banal, cliche,
Speaker 3: stupid sports made media thing that everyone feels like they
Speaker 3: have to do. Oh are you are you? Do you
Speaker 3: like the green Bean cast are all, oh are you
Speaker 3: sweet potato buy or pumpkin pie? Nobody gives it, sorry,
Speaker 3: nobody cares. Everybody likes Thanksgiving, everybody eats food, we all
Speaker 3: watch football, we all either tolerate or really maybe I'm
Speaker 3: excited about it's actually good games. All three games are
Speaker 3: good games because we already talked about Bill's Lions. That's
Speaker 3: an interesting games. Lions keep it close, Giants Cowboys legit
Speaker 3: really good, important game, right, and then Viking's Patriots. At
Speaker 3: the end of the day, those are two potential playoff teams.
Speaker 3: So they're all good games. But I just don't understand
Speaker 3: how my whole life in sports media, people really think, like, oh,
Speaker 3: so Wednesday before Thanksgiving, you know what the audience is
Speaker 3: tuning in to hear us talk about why turkey is overrated? Oh,
Speaker 3: you never eat it when it's not Thanksgiving? Why do
Speaker 3: you eat on Thanksgiving? Oh? Anything you have to slather
Speaker 3: and gravy must not be that good. Are you a ham?
Speaker 3: Do you like ham? What you like apple pie? Are
Speaker 3: you more of a lemon? Meringue? Shut up? And as such?
Speaker 3: Bad content. It's so bad and everyone in the industry
Speaker 3: does it. Here's the thing. It's a weird thing about
Speaker 3: media people, because it's not just sports media. You turn
Speaker 3: on your local chuckle, our news, the morning news show,
Speaker 3: the kind of lighter you know, they're not wearing tie
Speaker 3: shirts of the top buttons unbuttoned, and it's like, hey, Sandy,
Speaker 3: what do you got planned for Thanksgiving? It's like, oh, Tom.
Speaker 4: For you, I know it's this subject we are well.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a different I'm I'm doing. I'm not
Speaker 3: telling you about what I want to eat, telling you
Speaker 3: about how bad this content is. So when you invariably
Speaker 3: consume it over the next ninety six hours, when you
Speaker 3: turn into every podcast and thirteen minutes in, before they've
Speaker 3: said anything about what the topic is, they're still talking
Speaker 3: about how their mom made the greatest authentic cranberry sauce,
Speaker 3: and oh you like authentic. I like it straight out
Speaker 3: of the can, Jerry. Let me tell you, I like
Speaker 3: it when it has the ridges from the can and
Speaker 3: just slice it down. Nobody cares and everybody does it.
Speaker 3: It is so bad. Let's get to the listener questions.
Speaker 4: All right, well, I know to talk about on my
Speaker 4: first stream wiki C two says about your playoff or yeah,
Speaker 4: says about your playoff proposal, the better conference already has
Speaker 4: the toughest road. With this change, it would be even
Speaker 4: harder in the better conference.
Speaker 3: Well, that's an interesting point you make there, sir. I'm
Speaker 3: not sure. I gotta think about that. I'm not sure
Speaker 3: that it necessarily would because if the better conference has
Speaker 3: the better two seeds, then that team can draft over
Speaker 3: a team from the worst conference. Maybe that's I don't know.
Speaker 3: I gotta think more about that. You make a decent point.
Speaker 3: I just know that for the seventh seed, I would
Speaker 3: like it to be the two best available teams, not
Speaker 3: conference and not assigned to the conference. But you make
Speaker 3: a potentially good point that I gotta think about more.
Speaker 4: Next, all right, Charlie Ruby says, Nick, you just need
Speaker 4: to stop betting on the Bears. Fields has been tremendous,
Speaker 4: but our offensive line is the worst pass blocking line
Speaker 4: in the league and our defense can't pressure anybody.
Speaker 3: Hold on. I don't think I lost the Bears bet
Speaker 3: this week. What the Bears lost by three? Didn't they
Speaker 3: They lost by Yeah, it's a push. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Push is fine, there's no that means there was no
Speaker 3: way to pick a winner there. The push was fine,
Speaker 3: but and we'll talk about it on the Gambling Show.
Speaker 4: Charlie Ruby doesn't count bushes, okay, Okay, well that's fine,
Speaker 4: and listen, I I do have a bad record this
Speaker 4: year on betting on like the Raiders, the Bears and
Speaker 4: the Jags.
Speaker 3: Like I put a lot of my hard earned money
Speaker 3: on teams with bad records. All right.
Speaker 4: Next, Christian Losses. Nick's gonna be a great Grumpy Old Man.
Speaker 3: But by the way, that's a great movie, demanse from
Speaker 3: my childhood Rumpy Old Men. Okay, they even made a
Speaker 3: sequel that was pretty good, Jack Lemon and the other
Speaker 3: guy forgot his name.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: I watched that. That's like when my fit before my
Speaker 3: parents split up, we would do like family stuff together,
Speaker 3: like I have like a very very happy, great family
Speaker 3: memory of Thanksgiving, Christmas time. Going to see Grumpy Old Men,
Speaker 3: I think you'd like it. Yeah, it's kind of like
Speaker 3: I've heard of it. It's it's I mean, it's I
Speaker 3: think maybe it doesn't hold up. Well, I bet it does.
Speaker 3: I actually bet there's some jokes in there that these
Speaker 3: days like would get you canceled. But it's a that's
Speaker 3: a good movie, all right.
Speaker 4: Next, Bobby asks, well, demoney be returning to the gambling
Speaker 4: picks next week? Hey man, not coming back without a dub.
Speaker 4: I will tell you what I bet on the weekend.
Speaker 4: Come the Thanks gambling show. But I have not had anything.
Speaker 3: No, Demonse is not doing great, Demonse, listen Demons now.
Speaker 4: Yesterday, I mean, my best picks were the Bengals and
Speaker 4: the Commanders, so I feel like that that's good.
Speaker 3: But we've paired it with five bad ones in your
Speaker 3: weekly seventemer But luckily you're I mean.
Speaker 4: Luckily my first one was a five dollars free bet
Speaker 4: and then my se Yeah.
Speaker 3: He's doing good on not pressing for a lot of money,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 4: Next Wiki two says question for the Monday, how big
Speaker 4: was the goat? The goat that ate half your jeans?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: I actually think this is a good look. I like those,
Speaker 3: yeah man. And then there was one other NBA question
Speaker 3: about Ben Simmons. To you and will he be guarding
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons or embeed shout out to Ben Simmons, by
Speaker 3: the way, played really well yesterday.
Speaker 4: Twenty points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's had a season best game three games in
Speaker 3: a row. It's gotten better each time we mentioned play
Speaker 3: off the top. All right, this was a really good show.
Speaker 3: I got to get to the TV show and brag
Speaker 3: about the chiefs for about ninety minutes. US two nothing
Speaker 3: over Wales is my pick. You can get that twelve
Speaker 3: to one right now. Also, you can still get Argentina
Speaker 3: and Brazil parlay to win their groups at even money.
Speaker 3: I gave that out. Oh and I gave out. I
Speaker 3: don't know if you can still get this one or not,
Speaker 3: but the one other Old Cup gambling pick that I
Speaker 3: really liked, I think you can still get it. I'm
Speaker 3: not certain though, since the groups have started, but let's
Speaker 3: just assume you could. I got this at eight and
Speaker 3: a half to one. These five teams to all advance Denmark, Croatia, Mexico,
Speaker 3: the US and Uruguay. That's plus eight sixty and then
Speaker 3: Brazil and Argentina both to win their groups. That's even money.
Speaker 3: All right, great show to Monday, Great job to our
Speaker 3: producers in LA. I will talk to everybody Wednesday ish
Speaker 3: with our gambling show for twelve in the NFL.
Speaker 4: What's right
