Speaker 2: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Wright, an earlier than
Speaker 2: usual version and an abbreviated version because I gotta leave
Speaker 2: here and go straight to Yankee Stadium for Game four
Speaker 2: of the World Series now demands. We are also supposed
Speaker 2: to be at Yankee Stadium for Game five of the
Speaker 2: World Series, but sadly, there might not be a Game
Speaker 2: five of the World Series because for well, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: have been awesome, but also the Yankees soon to be
Speaker 2: two time MVP transcendent regular season superstar Aaron Judge has
Speaker 2: no showed in these playoffs and he is a prior
Speaker 2: last night getting you know, this is what goes along
Speaker 2: with his whole career of really shoddy playoff performances after
Speaker 2: amazing regular seasons. And he it's kind of open season
Speaker 2: on Aaron Judge and if it wasn't already, it will
Speaker 2: be today, which makes total sense to me. But I
Speaker 2: for a lot of Lamar Jackson defenders, it's got to
Speaker 2: be very disorienting, like wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I
Speaker 2: hold on a second here, wait this is wait oh,
Speaker 2: this is how we do sports commentary. A two time
Speaker 2: MVP leads a team to amazing regular seasons and then
Speaker 2: can't do it in the playoffs. Yeah, people get killed
Speaker 2: for that. They just they in common. They just get
Speaker 2: really criticized for it. I told you, I told Demons
Speaker 2: before the show. I was like, I have a baseball
Speaker 2: take that's going to infuriate you, and I just hit
Speaker 2: him with it right off the top, right where the
Speaker 2: show even started. Just oh, you didn't hear me, I
Speaker 2: said it to the producers. Oh you didn't hear me.
Speaker 2: I thought you heard me. Yeah, no, I mean listen,
Speaker 2: maybe it's because maybe someone fined and see if seven
Speaker 2: years ago, some out of work GM said Aaron Judge
Speaker 2: should change positions, because if that's the case, then maybe
Speaker 2: all of a sudden that the whole media will come
Speaker 2: to his defense. I don't know. Okay, here's what missed
Speaker 2: the cut. Sorry pal, Anthony Richardson. My guy was tired.
Speaker 2: Never see anything like it. He's like, I'm tired. I
Speaker 2: gotta I gotta step out of the game. Pittsburgh six
Speaker 2: and two. And Russ was cooking last night, had a
Speaker 2: little two screens going. Russ has looked good. I did not.
Speaker 2: This is one of the more shocking developments of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four that Russell Wilson could look as good as
Speaker 2: he's looked these last two weeks. And Dwayne Wade's statue
Speaker 2: has been unveiled, and it's, you know, not that popular
Speaker 2: on the internet. I actually think they showed it from
Speaker 2: a different angle. I think it looks a little better
Speaker 2: from a different angle. But whatever statues are hard scalplet,
Speaker 2: there's there are a few things. It would appear the
Speaker 2: world has gotten just objectively worse at over the last
Speaker 2: thousand years. Sculpting, I think is one of them. Go
Speaker 2: to museums, you're like, hey, this is from six hundred
Speaker 2: BC and you're like, holy, that's amazing and the sie
Speaker 2: that is unbelievable, and then it's like who knows. Okay,
Speaker 2: But and by the way, today is a short show.
Speaker 2: And it's also we're also a week out from the election,
Speaker 2: and Nikki Bosa brought a Maga hat to a football game,
Speaker 2: and so we're gonna talk about it. And if you
Speaker 2: don't want to hear me talk about it, then check
Speaker 2: back in on Thursday, or check back in in five
Speaker 2: ten minutes. It's cool with me. Whatever you want. Totally
Speaker 2: get it. By the way, and sometimes even if I
Speaker 2: think I'm going to agree with someone's take on things,
Speaker 2: I'm just not in the mood for it or you know,
Speaker 2: mental space or no judgment there. But we're gonna talk
Speaker 2: about it, and if you do listen to it, we'll
Speaker 2: post this. Go ahead and post this on you know,
Speaker 2: our social channels. There will be a fun thing where
Speaker 2: people that actually watch the take, if they then read
Speaker 2: the comments, you'll be able to instantly tell who didn't
Speaker 2: read the take and just saw that I was talking
Speaker 2: about and assumed they knew what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2: But okay, so I'm gonna try to do this quickly
Speaker 2: and this is once again something that I don't think
Speaker 2: is complicated. Uh, you can support whoever you want politically. Obviously,
Speaker 2: I'll talk more about whether or not people should be
Speaker 2: judged for who they support politically in a moment, but
Speaker 2: everyone agrees you can support whoever you want politically. I
Speaker 2: think everyone also agrees, or they should, that there is
Speaker 2: a difference if you are a public figure and you
Speaker 2: are photographed in your private time wearing political insignia or paraphernalia,
Speaker 2: and then when you come to work people ask you
Speaker 2: about it and you're like, you know, I don't want
Speaker 2: to talk about that. You know, I try to keep that,
Speaker 2: you know, my private life private, my public life public.
Speaker 2: I think everyone would say, eh, okay, makes sense. Maybe
Speaker 2: not the most courageous thing in the world, but makes sense.
Speaker 2: I also thought everyone understood that if you do a
Speaker 2: political version of a streaker on a football field, which
Speaker 2: is crash someone else's postgame interview with your political merchandise,
Speaker 2: flash it to a camera in what will end up
Speaker 2: being one of the most watched TV games of the year,
Speaker 2: that it's fair game, and we can show you the picture,
Speaker 2: it's fair game to ask you about it. And if
Speaker 2: you're If you then say I don't want to talk
Speaker 2: about it, it's kind of cowardly. I just I don't
Speaker 2: think that's complicated. I think that that was not his
Speaker 2: moment to begin with. That was it was Purty and
Speaker 2: Kittle in those guys moment, and he's like, Nope, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get this takeoff. But he didn't really get a takeoff,
Speaker 2: which really which actually and so him then at the
Speaker 2: press conference being like, oh, I just think it's important time.
Speaker 2: It's such weak behavior if you're going to change the
Speaker 2: subject that people weren't trying to talk about, and then
Speaker 2: when they say okay, why'd you change the subjects say oh,
Speaker 2: I'm not here to talk about that subject. Then either
Speaker 2: you're just a total abject moron who didn't think, oh
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna be asked about this, or a little scared,
Speaker 2: or here's the more likely reasoning. I think there's two
Speaker 2: reasons people wear magas stuff. One is rock with Trump, hardcore,
Speaker 2: so be it. I'll do with that in a moment.
Speaker 2: The other one's this it's like back in the eighties,
Speaker 2: teenagers wearing like an anarchy symbol, and it's like trying
Speaker 2: to be shocking an edgy. But if you ask some
Speaker 2: if you ask one of them like, hey, what does
Speaker 2: that represent to you, they'd be like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just know it pisses off the people I want
Speaker 2: to piss off. And I think Nikki Bosa I know
Speaker 2: enough about him and his family. I actually, at once
Speaker 2: upon a time, was very close with someone who was
Speaker 2: very close with their family. I think he is a
Speaker 2: diet in the world Trump guy. I also don't think
Speaker 2: he really knows why he is, but he knows it
Speaker 2: angers the people that he dislikes the most, so he
Speaker 2: rolls with it. I just think that if you're going
Speaker 2: to bring your politics to my Sunday night football, you
Speaker 2: should then be prepared to talk about your politics. I
Speaker 2: don't think that's too much to ask. And people brought
Speaker 2: up Kaepernick a lot, obviously, and by the way, in
Speaker 2: an odd turn of events, I actually saw and was
Speaker 2: with Colin Thursday night. I wish I wish this had
Speaker 2: happened before that so I could ask him about it.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's apples to apples, I don't. I
Speaker 2: do think, however, that Colin, to his credit, didn't kneel
Speaker 2: during the anthem and then say oh, I'm not talking
Speaker 2: about why. He said there's bodies in the streets and
Speaker 2: people are getting paid leave. He was ready to discuss it. Now,
Speaker 2: you can hate him for it, you can run him
Speaker 2: out of the league for it, but he was prepared
Speaker 2: to discuss it. And now the last part of this
Speaker 2: little because that everything I set up to that point
Speaker 2: I don't think was very political. It was just obvious
Speaker 2: now will be political for a moment because the elections
Speaker 2: in a week.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 2: Is somewhat conventional wisdom that I thoroughly and vehemently disagree with.
Speaker 2: We shouldn't judge people for their politics. I to be
Speaker 2: very clear, I want to be judged for mine, okay,
Speaker 2: And I think that there if you are a politically
Speaker 2: engaged person, there are very few things that are a
Speaker 2: truer representation of who you are and what you value
Speaker 2: than your politics. And if who you are and what
Speaker 2: you value are not things that one should be judged on,
Speaker 2: then I don't know what is. And I know some
Speaker 2: people believe, oh, you shouldn't judge anyone for anything under
Speaker 2: any circumstances. I don't believe that. I think that judging
Speaker 2: people for making judgments about people and is that someone
Speaker 2: I'd want my life, is that someone who shares my values,
Speaker 2: is that someone who I agree with on things? Is
Speaker 2: the way human beings navigate the world. And so if
Speaker 2: you asked me, Nick Wright, what's your politics, I tell you,
Speaker 2: and I'd hope you judge me. For I believe that
Speaker 2: being born in the United States in the twentieth century
Speaker 2: and now I guess the twenty first century is the
Speaker 2: equivalent of winning the World History powerball lottery. And we
Speaker 2: all of us are inheriting a economic system and a
Speaker 2: country and stability and all of this that none of
Speaker 2: us earned. We just got lucky to be born here.
Speaker 2: And because of that, I think we have an obligation
Speaker 2: as a society to do everything we can to help
Speaker 2: those less fortunate. As someone who is a I mean,
Speaker 2: I just say it, very high income earner, I don't
Speaker 2: mind paying a massive amount of money in taxes. So
Speaker 2: because I'm you know, I'm aware enough of the United
Speaker 2: States tax history to know that when my grandfather was
Speaker 2: making money, top tax bracket was ninety percent, I feel
Speaker 2: like I'm getting off cheap as is, and I live
Speaker 2: in New York City in the top tax bracket. I
Speaker 2: also really think one of the greatest things about this country,
Speaker 2: maybe my favorite thing about this country, is that every
Speaker 2: single person on earth can come here and become an
Speaker 2: American ad have their culture become part of our culture.
Speaker 2: And it's why we have the best restaurants in the world.
Speaker 2: It's why we have the dopest parades in the world.
Speaker 2: It's why we are a special place. And I want
Speaker 2: my politicians to embrace that and to agree with me
Speaker 2: on that. And if you on the judgment part of it,
Speaker 2: if you are someone that is paying attention and you
Speaker 2: see what this guy for the last eight years has
Speaker 2: spewed into the body politic and the way he has
Speaker 2: demonized anyone that does not look like his version of
Speaker 2: what an American should look like. If you've really been
Speaker 2: paying attention and you're like, I'm gonna rock with that guy,
Speaker 2: either because you agree with him, or because you're a
Speaker 2: crypto holder like some of my poker buddies and just
Speaker 2: want to make sure your crypto prices go up or
Speaker 2: don't go down, or because you're that concerned about the
Speaker 2: top marginal tax rate. If you can look past all
Speaker 2: of that and say, nah, all still roll with him,
Speaker 2: or or if you're saying I actually like all of that.
Speaker 2: Of course I judge you. Of course I do. And
Speaker 2: if you heard what I said and you're like, ah,
Speaker 2: you're what's wrong with the country, So be it. That's fine.
Speaker 2: You Maybe you like my sports opinions, maybe you don't
Speaker 2: make whatever it is. We don't all have to be friends,
Speaker 2: we don't all have to agree. But I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: bullshit the audience and say that when I see Nicki
Speaker 2: Bosa do that that my feeling is simply, Oh, everyone's
Speaker 2: entitled to their own opinion. You are entitled to your
Speaker 2: own opinion, and I'm then entitled to think you're an asshole.
Speaker 2: Now to the football game. What happened before all that?
Speaker 3: Demanse, Yeah, I just think Cowboys are under five hundred
Speaker 3: and Dak Prescott has no help to that.
Speaker 4: He throws. He's still throwing picks in really big moments.
Speaker 3: He's obviously got his money, he's gotten paid like Trevor
Speaker 3: in two, has not been shown up, and he actually
Speaker 3: just got shown up by Brock Purty, a quarterback who
Speaker 3: has not been paid yet. Is Dallas's present, San Francisco's future.
Speaker 2: Well, no, so here's the thing. I don't think San
Speaker 2: Francisco is gonna be in the same type of situation
Speaker 2: Dallas is, because they have better ownership and they have
Speaker 2: far better coaching. The point being, though, once you pay Brock,
Speaker 2: are you not going to have the resources to pay
Speaker 2: everyone else. Of course that's a concern. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: a real concern. And I I want to also be
Speaker 2: clear on this. I thought Brock played well in this game.
Speaker 2: I thought that I also on the Dak piece of it. Man,
Speaker 2: it was so interesting that Dak finally was playing really
Speaker 2: well in that fourth quarter, and in the moment they
Speaker 2: had a chance to actually steal the game, he instantly
Speaker 2: threw into double coverage and should have thrown a game
Speaker 2: ending interception. There is an element of man he does
Speaker 2: seem to tighten up, and that if things start going wrong,
Speaker 2: he has a hard time righting the ship. And then
Speaker 2: in this game, the Niners were just crushing them, and
Speaker 2: then the Cowboys got a little bit of juice and
Speaker 2: Dak and CD were cooking. And then at the end
Speaker 2: and then they actually gotta stop. Cowboys had their best
Speaker 2: defensive sequence of the night and Brock at his roughest
Speaker 2: offensive sequence of the night, and the moment that happened,
Speaker 2: Dak got the ball down six. Like I know this
Speaker 2: sounds crazy, I really felt like in that moment, if
Speaker 2: Dallas were down eight, Dak would have played that drive better,
Speaker 2: but something about, oh we can win, like we can
Speaker 2: just go down right now and win, and he he
Speaker 2: would have thrown a pick to Diamid or Lenore, but
Speaker 2: Fred Warner knocked it down, and so I I can't.
Speaker 2: I have been higher on the Cowboys than most people,
Speaker 2: but the evidence is just growing and growing that this
Speaker 2: is the worst dem they've had in four years and
Speaker 2: that they're not going to be able to especially given
Speaker 2: the injuries all of a sudden turn the corner the Niners.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, I want to make this clear
Speaker 2: that defense, as much as you know scrutiny as I
Speaker 2: have on Purdy, that defense is really shaky, and it's
Speaker 2: the shakiest Shanahan has had since they've been on this run.
Speaker 2: And I think there is a really a very real chance,
Speaker 2: Demanse that the Rams run them down in that division.
Speaker 2: I think there is a very real chance that the
Speaker 2: Rams run them down there. Everyone in that division Demands
Speaker 2: has four losses. It's a crazy situation where the unless
Speaker 2: am I tripping? I think I'm right about that. No,
Speaker 2: of course I'm right. Cardinals, Niners, Seahawks, Rams, all have
Speaker 2: four losses. Everyone but the Rams has four wins. The
Speaker 2: Rams had the buy already, but they're all just right there.
Speaker 2: And the Niners have two divisional losses already, losing to
Speaker 2: the Cardinals and the Rams, and so that division is
Speaker 2: a really wild one. And if you are the Niners,
Speaker 2: you have a buy. And then you're at the Bucks,
Speaker 2: and the Bucks are real banged up. But then Seahawks, Packers, Bills, Bears, Rams, Dolphins, Lions, Cardinals, like,
Speaker 2: there's not a gimme on that. It's not like a
Speaker 2: ton of Juggernauts. But the Packers are quite good, the
Speaker 2: Lions are quite good. But there's not a gimme on
Speaker 2: that list. So that was a huge win for the
Speaker 2: for the Niners. But there is a legitimate, at least
Speaker 2: slight cause for concern.
Speaker 4: All right, Next, so you're tossing the pig.
Speaker 2: This is what I'm gonna say, Dallas Divisional championship. That's
Speaker 2: in real bad shape. It's in real bad shape. But
Speaker 2: remember I had Washington too. Now, Billy played really well
Speaker 2: this weekend. But Washington, Well, we'll get to Washington in
Speaker 2: a minute. All right, let's go to the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, your Chiefs are seven to zero. And it
Speaker 3: seems like every time you talk about them on TV
Speaker 3: or anywhere on Twitter, wherever it may be, you end
Speaker 3: up getting frustrated. So do you want to talk about
Speaker 3: the Chiefs or do you want to talk about the
Speaker 3: way that they're covers or anything?
Speaker 4: Pee and you off?
Speaker 2: Well, listen, talking about the Chiefs at this point is
Speaker 2: a little boring. They don't lose, they have the best
Speaker 2: defense in the league. They never trail in fourth quarters,
Speaker 2: and that's the part that I think irritates me. The
Speaker 2: They've played seven games this year to Monseay, Okay, seven games,
Speaker 2: seven fourth quarters, fifteen minutes every fourth quarter, seven times,
Speaker 2: fifteen one hundred and five fourth quarter minutes. They have
Speaker 2: trailed for nine of those minutes. They have trailed in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter for nine minutes this year. They have
Speaker 2: led for the entirety of the fourth quarter in five
Speaker 2: of the games. The Charger game they were briefly tied,
Speaker 2: and the Bengal game they trailed for nine minutes. That's it.
Speaker 2: And they are discussed like oh man, the Chiefs squeak
Speaker 2: by again, It's just not true. It's not true.
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's they squeak by.
Speaker 3: They are winning like none of their games, they don't
Speaker 3: blow anybody out, And I do think a little bit
Speaker 3: of that is what's in folks' heads.
Speaker 4: It's because especially.
Speaker 3: With the team like the Raiders, when they had already
Speaker 3: previously been talking trash to them and them by like
Speaker 3: ten fourteen maybe.
Speaker 2: Okay, But so here's the thing that's to me. Here's
Speaker 2: the thing that's frustrating about that. To me, everyone falls
Speaker 2: all over themselves about these blowout wins by teams that
Speaker 2: also lose a lot. I spent all last week having
Speaker 2: everyone lay flowers at Baltimore's feet, a Baltimore team that
Speaker 2: the Chiefs beat this season. Everyone's like, oh, it was
Speaker 2: before they knew how to use Derrick Henry, Like I
Speaker 2: don't know, hand him the fucking ball is how I
Speaker 2: think you used Derick Henry? Like it was like it
Speaker 2: was some some physics experiment that they hadn't quite balanced
Speaker 2: the equation, you know, like figured out figured it out
Speaker 2: how to use this six four, two hundred forty pound
Speaker 2: running back. I'm like, I don't know what. They went
Speaker 2: in the lab and they're like, oh, we hand him
Speaker 2: the ball. Okay, great, Fine, So the Ravens all week
Speaker 2: I heard, Oh, if the Ravens played the Chiefs right now,
Speaker 2: they would kill him. Maybe that's true, but you know,
Speaker 2: the Ravens wouldn't kill the Browns, who they lost to.
Speaker 2: And all this week I'm gonna hear about the Lions
Speaker 2: because the Lions just scored fifty points. Meanwhile, the Chiefs
Speaker 2: haven't lost since Christmas Day. Since then, they've beaten everyone
Speaker 2: that matters in the league. Everyone tell me a team
Speaker 2: that matters, and the Chiefs have beat them except for
Speaker 2: I guess the Lions and the Packers because they haven't
Speaker 2: played them. But have they beaten Cincinnati in that stretch?
Speaker 2: Yes twice. Have they beaten Baltimore in that stretch? Yes twice.
Speaker 2: Have they beaten San Francisco? Yes? Have they beaten the Bills? Yes?
Speaker 2: Have they? Who else am I forgetting?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: They got the Raiders back. Not that the Raiders matter,
Speaker 2: but the Raiders were the last team who beat them.
Speaker 2: Have they beat the best team in the NFC South yep,
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons. Have they beaten the second best team
Speaker 2: in their own division. Yep, the Chargers. They so, But
Speaker 2: that's not even what I'm talking about. I'm talking about
Speaker 2: these games being fake close, okay. Since the opening two weeks.
Speaker 2: They played the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons trailed for every
Speaker 2: second of the second half, They scored three second half points,
Speaker 2: and they lost. They played the Chargers. The Chargers scored
Speaker 2: ten straight points in the first ten minutes of the game.
Speaker 2: They then got shut out the rest of the way,
Speaker 2: never led in the final twenty five minutes of the game,
Speaker 2: and lost. They then played the Saints on Monday Night Football.
Speaker 2: The Saints trailed the entire game. The Chiefs won by
Speaker 2: two touchdowns. They then played the forty nine Ers in
Speaker 2: a game they were underdogs in. Oh yeah, they've beaten
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, not once in the stretch, twice,
Speaker 2: once in the Super Bowl. Once two weeks ago. In
Speaker 2: that Niner game, the Chiefs were up twenty eight to
Speaker 2: twelve with a minute left. They're up sixteen with a
Speaker 2: minute left against the Niners, twenty eight to twelve, and
Speaker 2: people are like, oh, why don't they blow people out?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, is twenty eight to twelve on
Speaker 2: the road against a team that's favored to win the
Speaker 2: NFC at the two minute warning, any good, And then
Speaker 2: against the Raiders, it was they're up fourteen at the
Speaker 2: two minute warning. Like I so yeah, I am. I
Speaker 2: am annoyed at how this team is discussed. They have
Speaker 2: the best defense in the league, the best coach in
Speaker 2: the league, the best special teams in the league. They
Speaker 2: are only getting better. They are dealing with massive injuries
Speaker 2: on offense. And by the way, Patrick Mahomes, for as
Speaker 2: bad as his numbers have been, you know where, he's
Speaker 2: been the best quarterback in football this year. The fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: zero turnovers, a one to eleven passer rating, seventy two
Speaker 2: percent completions, And so it's just dumb. I just think
Speaker 2: it's dumb. And we've this is the second longest that
Speaker 2: only the nineteen ninety San Francisco forty nine ers have
Speaker 2: had a longer winning streak to start a season as
Speaker 2: a two time defending champ. And all we're doing is
Speaker 2: talking about what's wrong with them, And I just I'm crazy, maybe,
Speaker 2: but I think that there's more things wrong with the
Speaker 2: teams that lose a lot. The Ravens lose every other game.
Speaker 2: There's this amazing team that has lost four of their
Speaker 2: last nine and this year three of eight. So they lose,
Speaker 2: you know, like, what are we like? I just don't.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, the Buffalo Bills are going to be
Speaker 2: the new team. The Buffalo Bills have lost twice already,
Speaker 2: once by four touchdowns. Like, I just I everyone is
Speaker 2: going to lay flowers at Detroit's feet this week. A
Speaker 2: Detroit team, by the way, that lost already. And you
Speaker 2: want to talk about close wins. They have an overtime
Speaker 2: win and a field goal at the gun win one
Speaker 2: week ago. But because they just dropped fifty on Mason
Speaker 2: Rudolph's team, we're like, oh, the Lions, it's just dumb.
Speaker 2: I just I'm not even mad because my team's just
Speaker 2: gonna win the Super Bowl again. I just wish people
Speaker 2: weren't dumb. That's all. Go ahead. You want to say something.
Speaker 4: They pin on.
Speaker 3: They put me on the camera as soon as they
Speaker 3: say I wish people weren't dumb, because I guess.
Speaker 4: I was backing up that take a little bit.
Speaker 3: No, but yeah, I mean I get it that they
Speaker 3: are winning at the end of the day. It's just
Speaker 3: I like to see you sound unimpressed. No, I know
Speaker 3: there's seven. There's seven to no. No, I'm definitely impressed.
Speaker 3: And I honestly, I've been kind of sneaky thinking that
Speaker 3: they'll have an undefeated season. But it's just like in
Speaker 3: the fashion that they're doing it, it's like, you have
Speaker 3: the greatest quarterback, let's see some wow.
Speaker 2: But hey, okay, they're they're they're not worried about the wow.
Speaker 2: All right, let's quickly do the Hail Mary. I said,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a fast show. I have to leave
Speaker 2: very soon, so let's keep going.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Jaden Daniels wasn't even likely to play in this
Speaker 3: game against the Bears, he ends up coming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I almost feel like I should get my pick
Speaker 2: back on that. I feel totally screwed. But talking not
Speaker 2: only Hail Mary, piece of it. Oh just think Jayes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then at kickoff they're plus one and a half.
Speaker 2: It's just an outrage, but go ahead. Sorry.
Speaker 3: So in this game, Caleb didn't really perform well into
Speaker 3: the last two drives that he put together, and then
Speaker 3: obviously Daniels throws they owe Mary to seal the game.
Speaker 3: Who do you feel like you were more wrong about
Speaker 3: between Caleb and Jade and Daniels because I feel like
Speaker 3: you had one higher one lower.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think I was wrong about either one.
Speaker 4: For the record, I think because he just got hurt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean it's just a coach.
Speaker 2: Me and Jeanie tried this with me yesterday as well.
Speaker 2: I go, how do you feel about your Jade and
Speaker 2: Daniels take?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Oh, you mean my take that he's too skinny, he's
Speaker 2: gonna get hurt a lot, and six weeks into his
Speaker 2: career he had broke a rib like that. That take,
Speaker 2: that that take, I feel I feel sadly good about.
Speaker 2: I think he's awesome. Nobody's ever said he's not off.
Speaker 2: I just I worry about you know who's also awesome,
Speaker 2: Devin a Chan. Look at Devin eight Chan's numbers whenever
Speaker 2: he plays the running back from Miami, it's like, wait
Speaker 2: a second, why is this guy not the best running
Speaker 2: back in football? And I'm just pulling up Devin a
Speaker 2: Chans numbers because they're truly not believable. So Devin ah
Speaker 2: Chan last year one hundred and three carries, eight hundred
Speaker 2: yards seven point eight yards per carry. This year eighty
Speaker 2: one carries for that terrible offense where all they're worried
Speaker 2: about is the pass. The running game still three hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty yards four and a half yards of carry
Speaker 2: for his career, one hundred and eighty four carries, almost
Speaker 2: twelve hundred yards, nine touchdowns. He gets a touchdown every
Speaker 2: twenty touches. Oh no, way more than that, because he
Speaker 2: also has five receiving touchdowns. So he's just this dynamic,
Speaker 2: unbelievable weapon. But he's banged up a lot because it's
Speaker 2: just body isn't really kind of built to be a
Speaker 2: full time running back. It's how I feel, So I
Speaker 2: don't think I'm wrong about Jayden. Now, did he lock
Speaker 2: up Rookie of the Year. I don't know if he
Speaker 2: locked it up, but he is a overwhelming lead right
Speaker 2: now now if he misses time, like things can change.
Speaker 2: But that Hail Mary, he executed it perfectly, obviously. Tyreek
Speaker 2: Stevenson with the Bears made a fool of himself, like
Speaker 2: everybody's already that ground has been wrought.
Speaker 4: Uh, guy hanging in the back. I don't know if
Speaker 4: somebody was saying on.
Speaker 3: A show that they tell people to do that, but
Speaker 3: I feel like it's almost never a guy hanging back
Speaker 3: there and works.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing there, demons A. There almost always
Speaker 2: is a guy hanging back there. He just doesn't look
Speaker 2: like he's hanging back there because there's a defender in
Speaker 2: front of him. He was back so you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Like that he's back there alone because Tyreek
Speaker 2: Stevenson screwed up. Now, the craziest thing. Kevin Clark made
Speaker 2: this point, and he's one hundred percent right because Stevenson's
Speaker 2: the one who tipped it super high. If Stevenson had
Speaker 2: just stayed where he was taunting the fans, the Bears
Speaker 2: probably win if he just never rejoins the play.
Speaker 4: Going in there to break that up too. Thought he
Speaker 4: was doing something right and.
Speaker 2: He never right and he never found his guy. That
Speaker 2: that was bad. All right, we still have to discuss.
Speaker 2: Let me see what else is on the show today.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, the Ravens, the World Series and the Bills.
Speaker 2: We got about five minutes to do it. We'll do
Speaker 2: that next. What's right, hey, guys? Looking for your next

Speaker 2: small batch tequila forty percent alcohol by volume imported by

Speaker 2: let's go to the Ravens quickly.
Speaker 4: Some my Ravens had the jeez.
Speaker 3: So our Ravens had the lead with just over two
Speaker 3: minutes to go and got overcame by Jamis Winston in
Speaker 3: the Browns defense.
Speaker 4: Can't stop anything.
Speaker 3: Still, Harbo's forgetting what we're good at and Justin Tucker
Speaker 3: is out here missing Kickstill?
Speaker 4: Was this just a trip game? Or the Ravens more
Speaker 4: dangerous or more danger than we realize.
Speaker 2: They're in real danger, buddy. I mean they're gonna make
Speaker 2: the playoffs the trap game, Yeah yeah, what do you
Speaker 2: mean a playoffs. I mean they're gonna they might your
Speaker 2: divisional rival going to have more juice.
Speaker 3: Coming off of all the talks that you were talking about, Lamar,
Speaker 3: and through the five touchdowns, we were riding really high.
Speaker 3: It's divisional. They just got a quarterback change. I know
Speaker 3: what happened in the beginning of the last game, but
Speaker 3: that team is probably feeling really good about themselves right now.
Speaker 2: With all that we are just looking at trap game
Speaker 2: is different. Definitionally, I look at trap game as like
Speaker 2: a game you weren't ready for that then, and I
Speaker 2: just think against your divisional rival, you're gonna be ready.
Speaker 2: It's just the Browns had more juice because of Jamis.
Speaker 2: But listen, none of that changes the Here's the deal.
Speaker 2: The Ravens evens is not good. Everyone moves the ball
Speaker 2: on them except for Buffalo oddly. Chiefs twenty seven points,
Speaker 2: Raiders twenty six points, Cowboys twenty five, the Bills ten,
Speaker 2: the Bengals thirty eight, the Commander's twenty three, the Bucks
Speaker 2: thirty one the Browns twenty nine. That's not good. And
Speaker 2: the other weird thing is that people were pissed again
Speaker 2: that Derrick Henry only got eleven carries. Guys, if all
Speaker 2: week is spent talking about how Lamar Jackson's playing the
Speaker 2: best quarterback of his life, the best quarterback in the NFL,
Speaker 2: in the league MVP, you can't then say they made
Speaker 2: a mistake by letting Lamar Jackson throw the ball pick
Speaker 2: a lane. He's finally unlocked a new level of quarterbacking
Speaker 2: all this stuff, or we needed just run the damn
Speaker 2: ball more pick a lane, folks, Listen. I don't think
Speaker 2: Lamar is the problem, obviously. I think the defense is
Speaker 2: the problem. I also think you have a problem because
Speaker 2: the Steelers are good and and the one seed now
Speaker 2: is gone. In order for the Ravens to be the
Speaker 2: one seed, they would need to win every single game
Speaker 2: they have left and have the Chiefs lose four times,
Speaker 2: so they would have to go undefeated, and the Chiefs
Speaker 2: the rest of the way, we would have to go
Speaker 2: six and four. So that's gone. So you're gonna be
Speaker 2: on the road at some point. I'd be a little
Speaker 2: worried about Pittsburgh, considering the fact that since Lamar has
Speaker 2: been in the league, he's beaten the Steelers one time,
Speaker 2: and you've got two games left with them, And so yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned if I'm you about the Ravens
Speaker 2: now that they don't make the playoffs, but that their
Speaker 2: playoff road is gonna be brutal, and that they're not
Speaker 2: quite the team that a lot of people were swearing
Speaker 2: to me they were go ahead, what'd you want to say?
Speaker 3: I don't know if Josh Allen is now tied for
Speaker 3: him for first MVPs, So you think that a squaded
Speaker 3: his chances game?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think he squandered his chances, but I
Speaker 2: think that it's it turned into Josh's award to lose.
Speaker 2: They're scoring a ton of points. They the people Josh is.
Speaker 2: You know, he did throw a pick for the first
Speaker 2: time this week, but he's playing clean football. Uh. And also,
Speaker 2: I think the other thing showed you is that the
Speaker 2: AFC playoff picture would look very differently if the Browns
Speaker 2: had gone to Jamis earlier. Like that Browns team is good,
Speaker 2: is fine, and listen, James is not great. But James,
Speaker 2: like Flacco, he's gonna throw one to you, one to us,
Speaker 2: one to you, one to us. It's gonna be fun
Speaker 2: and exciting and all of it. All right, So does
Speaker 2: go ahead and.
Speaker 3: Do the bills?
Speaker 4: Yes, Josh Allen and the bills.
Speaker 3: You've been super high on the bills this year, I
Speaker 3: honestly think probably the highest you've.
Speaker 4: Been on the bills since I've been Yeah, of course,
Speaker 4: and the yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So they made a cartoon of you, and it seems
Speaker 3: like Josh Allen your ankles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well it doesn't say my name, but that's pretty
Speaker 2: definitively me. I mean, it's got the herro, it's got
Speaker 2: the mustache, it's got the nose, it's got the dope suit.
Speaker 2: And so I I have an announcement of this because
Speaker 2: that's a that's in the Buffalo newspaper, and I love
Speaker 2: that guy's a political cartoonist. He's a great cartoonist. And
Speaker 2: this was one of the So growing up, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: tell a very quick story and then I gotta go
Speaker 2: growing ups. Around our house, Demanse were a half a
Speaker 2: dozen hand drawn black and white political cartoons from the
Speaker 2: Kansas City Star that were attacking my father. My dad
Speaker 2: was the president of the firefighters Union. They weren't all.
Speaker 2: They were almost all attacking him. President of the Firefighters
Speaker 2: Union in Kansas City and the cartoonists for the Star
Speaker 2: in the eighties nineties didn't like him, didn't like the union,
Speaker 2: thought the union too much power, and he would once
Speaker 2: a year or so they went on strike or whatever
Speaker 2: it is, draw a cartoon, make in front of the
Speaker 2: firefighters or making fun of my dad. And my dad
Speaker 2: every time that guy, whenever he did a cartoon, just
Speaker 2: had a rule of, hey, you can buy the original
Speaker 2: for like a four hundred dollars donation to this charity
Speaker 2: or whatever it was. So my dad had all these originals,
Speaker 2: the actual drawing that the guy then submitted to the
Speaker 2: baby Yeah around the house framed. So I reached out
Speaker 2: to this guy, Adam Zilgis or Zigless. I apologize, I
Speaker 2: want to get his name right, let me see it,
Speaker 2: because I think he's a good artist, Adam Zigless. I
Speaker 2: reached out to him and I said, can I buy
Speaker 2: the original? And he said yes and said he would
Speaker 2: throw in the color print as well, but also the original,
Speaker 2: And so I sent him the money for it, and
Speaker 2: then threw in an extra little bit and told him
Speaker 2: to donate the extra little bit to Josh Allen's charity,
Speaker 2: whatever it is. And I'm going to have that at
Speaker 2: the house. I love that things regular. It's gonna be
Speaker 2: like a four by six, like a four by six
Speaker 2: on I would imagine like card stock quality paper, and
Speaker 2: it's not gonna look like that. The print will look
Speaker 2: like that. His original is it's uh done in pencil,
Speaker 2: so there's no color. So I'm gonna have that and
Speaker 2: I and I actually think it's cooler that it doesn't
Speaker 2: say my name that well, I don't know. I think
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put one. I think I'll put it in
Speaker 2: the room we watch football in underneath the what's wrong
Speaker 2: with Nick Wright? Uh newspaper articles? Yeah, fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2: So yeah, So there's that all right? On the World
Speaker 2: Series quickly because then I have to leave to go
Speaker 2: to the World Series. The Yankees have to win tonight.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's obviously down three to zero, but I
Speaker 2: know it's only happened. Listen, down three to zero in
Speaker 2: the World Series, only three teams ever have even forced
Speaker 2: a Game five, and no one's forced a game six.
Speaker 2: It just means you're cooked. But the Yankees are better
Speaker 2: than this. They're not better than the Dodgers, but they're
Speaker 2: better than this. And you win tonight and then Cole
Speaker 2: pitches Game five. There's a path. But in order to
Speaker 2: win tonight, your dominant league MVP has to show up.
Speaker 2: And those are the rules in sports, guys. You gotta
Speaker 2: show up if you're the man and judge. This isn't
Speaker 2: a one off for him in the postseason, and it's
Speaker 2: his whole season, which was one of the greatest seasons
Speaker 2: by a right handed batter in baseball history, is really
Speaker 2: gonna be marred by the fact that these playoffs. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's really an unbelievable setup situation right now in these playoffs, Demonse,
Speaker 2: he has six hits and twenty strikeouts. That's no good, guys.
Speaker 2: So you gotta have a You gotta come through in
Speaker 2: a big spot here, Eric.
Speaker 3: So, I don't know, I don't know how much Otani's
Speaker 3: been doing, but I know if this was happening in
Speaker 3: the NBA or the NFL would be crazy because I
Speaker 3: know that he has not made the postseason before. He
Speaker 3: hasn't made the post Yeah, goes over to the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: a real team. The first year they get to the
Speaker 3: they get to the World Series.
Speaker 2: So Oani correct Otani actually has not been great in
Speaker 2: the World Series. He had some good moments earlier in
Speaker 2: the playoffs, but he also got hurt yesterday. It was
Speaker 2: just kind of amazing he was able to play with
Speaker 2: the hurt shoulder. But yeah, I mean he's been sitting
Speaker 2: on the angels. He was sitting on the angels forever.
Speaker 2: The team was no good. He goes to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Now they might you know, sweep the Yankees in the
Speaker 2: World Series. All right, good show, good job everyone. We'll
