Speaker 3: Welcome in episode one sixty nine, What's Right with Nick
Speaker 3: Wright Flying solo once again? Daughters Still in Europe, demands,
Speaker 3: studio still getting built, and my wife is just flatly
Speaker 3: refused to do the show. In the last couple of days,
Speaker 3: she said, quote, there's literally no sports going on. What
Speaker 3: are we gonna talk about? So it's just you and
Speaker 3: me today. But we do have a ton to talk about,
Speaker 3: in fact, so much We're gonna get right to it.
Speaker 3: But something that missed the cut didn't actually miss the cut,
Speaker 3: because I'm gonna discuss it here in a moment. But
Speaker 3: let's show you what we think missed the cut. Germany
Speaker 3: and Brazil eliminated from the Women's World Cup. That's not
Speaker 3: actually missing the cut. Jim Rsa paying twenty million dollars
Speaker 3: to transport an Orca across the country. I got the
Speaker 3: distinct impression our production staff really wanted me to talk
Speaker 3: about this story. I have no interest in that story.
Speaker 3: And Skinny Luca appears to have cut down in soda.
Speaker 3: I'm not the healthiest guy in the world. But one
Speaker 3: of the things that I think has helped me because
Speaker 3: I basically eat whatever I want, is I don't really
Speaker 3: do sweets and I never do soda. So I think
Speaker 3: that maybe the cutting out soda is the key to
Speaker 3: all of it now. The thing that said missed the
Speaker 3: Cup but I actually want to get to is because
Speaker 3: it happened just a couple hours ago. Morocco is the
Speaker 3: Cinderella in both World Cups this year. They make the
Speaker 3: semifinal on the men's side and then on the women's side.
Speaker 3: Here is how that group went. The group had Germany,
Speaker 3: which is the number two team in the world, Columbia,
Speaker 3: which is okay in the twenties I think Morocco's in
Speaker 3: the seventies in South Korea. The first game of that
Speaker 3: group and again, just like the me inside to advanced two, don't,
Speaker 3: Germany beat Morocco six to nothing. Again, Germany beat Morocco
Speaker 3: six to nothing. Colombia then beat South Korea. Morocco then
Speaker 3: beat uh yeah, Morocco then beat Colombia. Or pardon me,
Speaker 3: Morocco then beat South Korea. Germany and Colombia play. Is
Speaker 3: this right? Germany and Colombia played to a draw. I
Speaker 3: might have that part wrong, but the moral of it was,
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you had a German team playing no.
Speaker 3: Germany and Columbia played today. Pardon me, because Morocco played no.
Speaker 3: I have now I'm screwing the whole thing up I
Speaker 3: should have had in front of me because I watched
Speaker 3: it this morning. This morning, here's what happened. Morocco is
Speaker 3: playing Columbia and Germany is playing South Korea. Germany again
Speaker 3: the number two team in the world, and they had
Speaker 3: beaten Morocco's six nothing start the tournament. And I was
Speaker 3: up early this morning because I couldn't sleep, so I
Speaker 3: turned these two matches on it right after the second
Speaker 3: half starts, and you see Morocco and Columbia are tied,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, Morocco is beating Columbia
Speaker 3: and Germany and South Korea are tied, and it's like, well,
Speaker 3: hold on a second here. If Morocco wins and Germany
Speaker 3: ties South Korea, Germany is not going to advance. And
Speaker 3: there ended up being fifteen minutes of stoppage time. It
Speaker 3: was wild as we were watching it, but Morocco ends
Speaker 3: up beating Columbia, won nothing. Colombia doesn't care because Columbia
Speaker 3: is moving on. They're fine. And then there's minutes left
Speaker 3: in the Germany match. The Moroccan players are watching on
Speaker 3: a phone on the pitch and South Korea holds on
Speaker 3: to get its only point of the World Cup, a
Speaker 3: one to one draw with Germany, and Germany's going home,
Speaker 3: and it is just one of the most startling. It's
Speaker 3: the first time ever the German women haven't advanced to
Speaker 3: the knockout round. And now Morocco, which started the tournament
Speaker 3: losing six nothing to Germany, is advancing. Germany is not.
Speaker 3: It was startling. It was great theater. The Moroccan players
Speaker 3: were beside themselves. It was such a cool story that
Speaker 3: being that happening Jamaica, which basically had to do a
Speaker 3: go fund me to even get to the tournament. Them
Speaker 3: advancing is great. The only part of this World Cup
Speaker 3: that hasn't been great is how the US has played. Now,
Speaker 3: hopefully the US picks it up well. I mean, if
Speaker 3: they don't, they're done. They are still the slight favorites
Speaker 3: to beat Sweden. They are no longer the favorites in
Speaker 3: the entire tournament. I've been trying to see there. Here
Speaker 3: we go. Right now, the tournament odds are England big
Speaker 3: favorites at plus two seventy, then the US and Spain
Speaker 3: both at plus four seventy. Morocco. You can get Morocco
Speaker 3: right now at four hundred and thirty to one, So
Speaker 3: one thousand bucks on Morocco when you're almost half a million.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's a really good bet, but it
Speaker 3: is a hell of a story. Okay, now we will
Speaker 3: get to what we are actually scheduled to talk about today,
Speaker 3: which is my quarterback pyramid. So I did a quarterback
Speaker 3: pyramid on the show. On the TV show, some people
Speaker 3: got very mad about it because this is what I said.
Speaker 3: I said, I am not putting the rookies on the
Speaker 3: pyramid because they haven't played yet. I want to see
Speaker 3: them play before I put them on the pyramid. And
Speaker 3: then we got to the top few rows of the pyramid,
Speaker 3: and of course Mahomes is at the top, the second
Speaker 3: row is burrow in the Prince, and then the third
Speaker 3: row smack Dad between Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen is
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams. So the producers asked, what has Williams done
Speaker 3: to be ahead of Josh Allen and Justin Herbert and Lamar. Well,
Speaker 3: he's not ahead of Josh Allen. Again, these pyramids or tears,
Speaker 3: they're not left to right, they are top to bottom.
Speaker 3: He is on the same row as Josh Allen. And
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts. But the only quarterbacks ahead of him are Mahomes,
Speaker 3: Burrow and the Prince. And the answer is, what hasn't
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams done? Caleb Williams stepped onto a college football
Speaker 3: field as a freshman at Oklahoma, and what did he
Speaker 3: do down twenty eight to seven against Texas and the
Speaker 3: biggest rivalry game in the country, or at least one
Speaker 3: of them leads him on a comeback? Is excellent the
Speaker 3: rest of that year, then transfers to USC and wins
Speaker 3: the Heisman Trophy. In his college career, he had sixty
Speaker 3: nine touchdowns and nine picks. He plays a mahomesy in style, with,
Speaker 3: by the way, the same height and weight as Mahomes,
Speaker 3: a lot of the same flare, some of the same toughness.
Speaker 3: The kid is as can't miss as camp miss gets
Speaker 3: now is right and is saying this moment, you know,
Speaker 3: he's one of the six best quarterbacks alive. Maybe potentially
Speaker 3: a touch hyperbolic, sure, but I am as certain of
Speaker 3: him as I was of Trevor Lawrence. I wasn't, by
Speaker 3: the way, I wasn't certain of Mahomes. I was when
Speaker 3: that if it were being totally honest my record on that.
Speaker 3: I wanted the Chiefs to draft de Sean Watson because
Speaker 3: I was very confident Deshan Watson. But Trevor Lawrence was
Speaker 3: the most no doubt prospect we had, no questions asked
Speaker 3: prospect we had had in a decade. Caleb Williams, now
Speaker 3: it's only been a few years, is the most no
Speaker 3: doubt prospect since Trevor. I thought Trevor was a better
Speaker 3: prospect than Joe Burrow, and Listen, Burrow has been unbelievable.
Speaker 3: I think Caleb's a better prospect than Joe Burrow. And
Speaker 3: his ability to play through pain, his ability to make
Speaker 3: off platform throws his creative. We are now living in
Speaker 3: a NFL universe that revolves around Patrick Mahomes, and if
Speaker 3: you are trying to win a championship, you have to
Speaker 3: ask yourself a question, can my quarterback go toe to
Speaker 3: toe with Patrick Mahomes and at least one in three
Speaker 3: times get a win. Burrow has answered that question is yes.
Speaker 3: Josh Allen in the regular season, to his credit, has
Speaker 3: answered the question is yes. Jalen Hurt showed you in
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. The answer that might be yes. I
Speaker 3: don't know that that's true for Justin Herbert. I don't
Speaker 3: know that that's true for Lamar. I know that isn't
Speaker 3: true with any of the other guys. I believe it
Speaker 3: will be true with Caleb Williams. I believe he is
Speaker 3: a superstar. And if if you are not a fan
Speaker 3: of one of the five or six best teams in
Speaker 3: the league this year, you know which team would probably
Speaker 3: be the most fun to be a fan of this season.
Speaker 3: The Arizona Cardinals, because you get to watch every Cardinal
Speaker 3: game rooting for them to lose, which they will most
Speaker 3: of them. If somehow they end up winning some of
Speaker 3: those games. You then get to watch the Texans games
Speaker 3: rooting for them to lose, because they have the Texans
Speaker 3: pick as well. And if you're the Cardinals, a team
Speaker 3: that seemed to have no just be in total and
Speaker 3: utter disarray, you are about to be in a position
Speaker 3: where you should have next year the number one pick
Speaker 3: of the draft, which you will use on Caleb Williams,
Speaker 3: the number four or five pick of the draft from Houston,
Speaker 3: which you can trade if you'd like for probably a
Speaker 3: mid first round pick and future picks, and Kyler, who
Speaker 3: you can trade for almost assuredly at least a first
Speaker 3: round pick and then something the Cardinals get to start
Speaker 3: totally over with the transcendent quarterback if they're as bad
Speaker 3: as I think they're going to be. Now, there's another
Speaker 3: team we're going to talk about later that I think
Speaker 3: should have taken that tact this year. They opted against it.
Speaker 3: I think they're going to regret it. But there's a
Speaker 3: team that Caleb would have been a perfect fit for
Speaker 3: that could have opted to get into the Caleb Williams Sweepstakes.
Speaker 3: They're not doing it them. We'll talk about them at
Speaker 3: the top of the B block. Actually, the producers also said,
Speaker 3: aren't you doing to Caleb what everyone else did to Wimby?
Speaker 3: So on the TV show they asked me this as well.
Speaker 3: No I am. What I am saying about Caleb Williams
Speaker 3: is I believe he will be a well above average
Speaker 3: number one overall pick. That would be a fair expectation
Speaker 3: for Wimby if I were saying right now that Caleb
Speaker 3: Williams by year three is going to be League MVP
Speaker 3: and the best player in the sport. And as the
Speaker 3: way Wimby was discussed was that if Wimby turns into
Speaker 3: Tim Duncan. It's a bit of a disappointment that if
Speaker 3: I were to say right now, if all Caleb Williams
Speaker 3: ends up being as Aaron Rodgers, he's a disappointment. That
Speaker 3: would be unfair. I am not putting Wimby level expectations
Speaker 3: on Caleb. I am putting Zion level expectations on Caleb
Speaker 3: when Zion was coming into the league, and those are fair.
Speaker 3: The guy's a superstar. And anybody wanting to say the
Speaker 3: whole oh, well, then why wasn't USC better last year?
Speaker 3: First of all? USC was damn good last year. Second
Speaker 3: of all, and maybe more importantly, you can't overcome horrific
Speaker 3: defenses in college football at the quarterback position. That's why
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes as a starter in college. What did he
Speaker 3: have a losing record? What was Texas text record in
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen. I know it wasn't overwhelming.
Speaker 3: I think he was seven and five and maybe seven
Speaker 3: and six. Caleb. I am as certain on Caleb as
Speaker 3: I've been on anybody. That's why I had him on
Speaker 3: the pyramid next on the quarterback pyramid. Producers, Right, Williams
Speaker 3: wasn't the only controversial pick on your quarterback pyramid, which
Speaker 3: quarterbacks have the highest odds of making you look dumb
Speaker 3: at the end of the year. So we can put
Speaker 3: the full pyramid on the screen and for the people listening,
Speaker 3: I'll go through it very quickly here and then leave
Speaker 3: it on screen if we can. We have Mahomes at
Speaker 3: the top, obviously Burrow and Trevor Lawrence second row. And
Speaker 3: the difference between by the way tears and a pyramid
Speaker 3: is a pyramid is there's one person on row one,
Speaker 3: two on row two, three on row three, et cetera.
Speaker 3: So a seven row pyramid would be twenty eight people.
Speaker 3: Row three is Hurts, Caleb and Josh Allen, Row four
Speaker 3: Dak Justin, Herbert Lamar, Aaron Rodgers, Row five cousins to
Speaker 3: Us Stafford, Fields and Gino Smith, Row six, car Goff, Watson, Kyler,
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and Jimmy Row seven Tannehill, Mac Jones, Russell Wilson,
Speaker 3: Brock Purdy, Jordan Love, Kenny pick In, Baker Mayfield. The
Speaker 3: rookies are unranked, and also Sam Howell and Desmond Riddard
Speaker 3: didn't make it. Of those guys, I would have said
Speaker 3: the one I was most anxious about making me look bad.
Speaker 3: Was me having Justin Fields on row five in the
Speaker 3: top fifteen because he hasn't earned that placement yet. But
Speaker 3: evidently saying Justin Fields is above average, not only is
Speaker 3: it not a hot take, it's the most tepid take
Speaker 3: there is. Because I've got colleagues saying he could be
Speaker 3: League MVP this year, which is flatly insane. And I
Speaker 3: like Fields clearly. I said, despite his passing numbers first
Speaker 3: few years of his career being abysmal, I said, you
Speaker 3: know what, better offensive line, DJ Moore, more consistent offensive system,
Speaker 3: all of those things. I think he can be an
Speaker 3: above average quarterback. So I'm betting on him. But the
Speaker 3: fact that Fields is to me, the most bet on
Speaker 3: MVP candidate. You've got otherwise smart people talking about him
Speaker 3: like he's already a great player that I don't understand.
Speaker 3: Now we can go back to the pyramid, the pyramid
Speaker 3: ranking of Rogers on row four, along with Dak, Herbert Lamar,
Speaker 3: and Aaron's That's not gonna make me look bad what
Speaker 3: I've said about Rogers that I just don't think he's
Speaker 3: a great quarterback anymore. I don't think the Jets are
Speaker 3: gonna be very good this year. All of those things
Speaker 3: absolutely could be used against me if I'm wrong. I
Speaker 3: don't think I will be. If I'm looking at this
Speaker 3: pyramid though, they my guess would be the following that
Speaker 3: by week ten, Stafford, who's right now in row five,
Speaker 3: a top fifteen guy, has dropped down a bit. Jordan
Speaker 3: Love maybe has moved up a row from row seven
Speaker 3: to row six. I have no idea what we're gonna
Speaker 3: get from Deshaun. I also wonder if Herbert or Lamar
Speaker 3: could jump ahead of Josh Allen and everybody's like, oh, Nick,
Speaker 3: you hate you kill Josh Allen. I mean of NFL quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: I have him in the top five right there. I
Speaker 3: thought he's I don't think he's done anything to be
Speaker 3: ranked ahead of Hertz Burrow or I believe Trevor's better.
Speaker 3: But I am saying that's a controversial opinion. But this
Speaker 3: is a tough question for me to answer, though. Which
Speaker 3: one is going to make me look dumb? Because I
Speaker 3: don't think any of them, because I think this is
Speaker 3: the most accurate quarterback ranking system we've seen. By the way,
Speaker 3: you're gonna see a version of this every Tuesday on
Speaker 3: the TV show. But It's not gonna be called Nick's
Speaker 3: quarterback Pyramid. It's going to be called Mahomes Mountain and
Speaker 3: spoiler alert, and no one's going to get to the
Speaker 3: top of it. Von Miller, This is from the producers again.
Speaker 3: Von Miller praises quarterback Josh Allen, saying him reminds him
Speaker 3: of Peyton Manning. You disagreed? Are you saying you know
Speaker 3: more than von Miller? Well, obviously, stylistically, Josh Allen and
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning have very little in common. Stylistically. The quarterback
Speaker 3: that Josh Allen should remind you of. I wonder if
Speaker 3: any of the we're going back about twenty years. I'll
Speaker 3: give you guys in your cars or the producers a
Speaker 3: moment like h who could he be talking about? Stylistically?
Speaker 3: The quarterback that Josh Allen reminds you of is Dante Culpeper,
Speaker 3: pre injury Dante Culpeper, who also made a conference championship
Speaker 3: game very early, then got rocked in that conference championship game.
Speaker 3: Dante Culpeper, who his final year healthy threw for almost
Speaker 3: five thousand yards, thirty nine touchdowns eleven picks. Dante Calpeper,
Speaker 3: who was a dynamic rushing threat, and it was a
Speaker 3: great part of his game, and then he injured his
Speaker 3: shoulder and his career was never the same. They don't
Speaker 3: have a similarity there, but both giant, big, strong, physically imposing,
Speaker 3: cannon arm guys who are a little careless with the football.
Speaker 3: But here's my would be my concern, not just if
Speaker 3: you're Josh Allen, but for a lot of these AFC
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the two thousands, in the AFC, you had
Speaker 3: Tom Brady who made it to I think thirteen AFC
Speaker 3: title games and nine Super Bowls with the Patriots. You
Speaker 3: had Peyton who made it I believe to five AFC
Speaker 3: title games obviously four total Super Bowls. You had Big
Speaker 3: Ben who made it to I think four AFC title
Speaker 3: games and three Super Bowls. Okay, so that's everybody else
Speaker 3: was kind of left out in the Cole and in
Speaker 3: the AFC. When you have Mahomes as the Brady figure,
Speaker 3: Burrow and Trevor as the Peyton and Big Ben figures.
Speaker 3: Is Josh Allen shaping up or justin Herbert or Lamar?
Speaker 3: But let's stay on Josh. Is Josh shaping up to
Speaker 3: be the Philip Rivers figure? Great numbers teams good most years,
Speaker 3: and in Philip Rivers career he lost in the playoffs
Speaker 3: to Brady three times, at least twice, I think, three times,
Speaker 3: lost in the playoffs to Peyton, lost in the playoffs
Speaker 3: to Big Ben, oddly lost in the playoffs once to
Speaker 3: Mark Sanchez, and then funnily enough, oddly enough, I should say,
Speaker 3: got his final playoff law was rumed with the Colts
Speaker 3: to Josh Allen. And those Charger teams were good teams
Speaker 3: with a good quarterback, but you had future first Ballot
Speaker 3: Hall of famers in your conference in their prime at
Speaker 3: the same time. And that's just gonna be a tough
Speaker 3: hill to climb. If Burrows as good as I believe
Speaker 3: he is, Trevor we Is as good as I know
Speaker 3: he is, and we all know how good Mahomes is,
Speaker 3: there's just not going to be a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 3: And I don't want to again, I don't want to
Speaker 3: spend so much time banging on the bills, but I
Speaker 3: do think it is worth noting that if we go
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl odds all right, and then look
Speaker 3: at the trajectory of these teams over the last few years,
Speaker 3: one of these things is not like the other. The
Speaker 3: Chiefs just won the Super Bowl. That's obviously they're head
Speaker 3: in the right direction. The Eagles made the playoffs, made
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Headed in the right direction. The Bengals.
Speaker 3: They took a small step back last year, but they
Speaker 3: went from out of the playoffs to the Super Bowl
Speaker 3: to AFC Title Game road loss. The Niners. If we
Speaker 3: do a three year trajectory out of the playoffs, NFC
Speaker 3: Championship game appearance, NFC Championship game appearance, the Cowboys out
Speaker 3: of the playoffs round one defeat, Round two defeat, They're
Speaker 3: at least getting a little bit better. The Jets to disaster,
Speaker 3: travesty of a franchise. Hey, we won seven games. We
Speaker 3: added Aaron Rodgers. The raven missed the playoffs too, got
Speaker 3: into the playoffs despite their quarterback being hurt. The Lions.
Speaker 3: I'm listing all of the suit in order. I've just
Speaker 3: skipped one team, The Lions, embarrassment of a franchise to hey,
Speaker 3: we're a game away from the postseason. The Chargers missed
Speaker 3: the playoffs by three games. Missed the playoffs in overtime
Speaker 3: of Week eighteen two made the playoffs. The Dolphins out
Speaker 3: of the playoffs to in the playoffs, the backup quarterback
Speaker 3: the Jags travesty of a franchise two Oh my god,
Speaker 3: we're in the playoffs won a playoff game. That is
Speaker 3: eleven of your top twelve Super Bowl contenders according to
Speaker 3: the odds. The one I left out was the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3: Their trajectory is made the AFC Title Game, then lost
Speaker 3: an epic Round two game on the road, then got
Speaker 3: blown out in Round two at home. So eleven of
Speaker 3: your twelve top contenders are either on a clear upward
Speaker 3: trajectory have maintained. The one team that you could say
Speaker 3: last year took a step back is I suppose Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: but I not really Cincinnati the year before last went
Speaker 3: to overtime in kans City in the AFC Title Game,
Speaker 3: and one Cincinnati this year lost on a last second
Speaker 3: field goal in Kansity in the AFC Title Game. They're maintaining.
Speaker 3: The only team going in the wrong direction is Buffalo.
Speaker 3: So just a lot of reasons that they are a
Speaker 3: very very difficult team for me to believe in right now.
Speaker 3: All right, last Cowboys Trayvon Diggs went at dak in practice.
Speaker 3: Producers say, if they don't have enough drama. They are
Speaker 3: now going at each other. Shouldn't the team be trying
Speaker 3: to build up their fragile quarterbacks confidence. I think this
Speaker 3: is nonsense story. I don't think he has fragile confidence.
Speaker 3: I think I think good teams in the NFL getting
Speaker 3: after each other in training camp and the best players
Speaker 3: drawing at each other is actually a good sign. So
Speaker 3: I don't buy that as And I heard Shady listen.
Speaker 3: Shady obviously knows a lot more about ANFL training camps
Speaker 3: than me. Shady's saying that, you know, the best quarterbacks
Speaker 3: in the league aren't treated like this. I that may
Speaker 3: or may not be true. I had no problem with it.
Speaker 3: I actually didn't think it was a bad thing for
Speaker 3: Dallas at all. And I think Dallas is Steven's gonna
Speaker 3: kick ass this year, and I think playing with that
Speaker 3: edge will be good for him. There is a team
Speaker 3: that should have made that, that could be in such
Speaker 3: a great position to get right back to the super Bowl. Instead,
Speaker 3: they're pretending they can be good this year. Will they
Speaker 3: just suffered another injury? We'll discuss who they are and
Speaker 3: play all interfold next. What's right, hey, guys, fall is

Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in episode one sixty nine, What's
Speaker 3: right with Nick? Right? Before we get to all in
Speaker 3: our fold, we're gonna talk about the Rams here for
Speaker 3: a moment, because Cooper Cup is already injured in camp
Speaker 3: and the Rams are likely going to be terrible again.
Speaker 3: The producers ask was it worth it for one Super
Speaker 3: Bowl if they completely fall apart? Because they won the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. The answer is yes. Uh. Had they not,
Speaker 3: it would have been a true disaster and fan base crippling.
Speaker 3: And I'm kind of glad they fell apart a bit
Speaker 3: because I didn't love the bleep them picks philosophy and
Speaker 3: the I I do appreciate the art of team building
Speaker 3: in the NFL that's just so different than other sports.
Speaker 3: And the Rams put everything on the credit card and
Speaker 3: you know, had the greatest party of their lives. People
Speaker 3: still talking about it, but now they're gonna be paying
Speaker 3: that off for years. What to me is so interesting
Speaker 3: about the Rams is they had an opportunity to continue
Speaker 3: that tortured analogy, to declare bankruptcy this year and be
Speaker 3: right back in it. If I were running the Rams
Speaker 3: after the season they had last year, I would have said, Okay, listen,
Speaker 3: this is not gonna be fun. But the reality is,
Speaker 3: what is our best case scenario. Best case scenario, our
Speaker 3: incredibly young defense and our incredibly thin offense stay healthy,
Speaker 3: overachieve a bit, we win nine games, sneak into the playoffs,
Speaker 3: get blasted, and then Stafford's a year older, You're closer
Speaker 3: to retirement Donald as well, and we're just that's our
Speaker 3: best case scenario. Most likely scenarios were a five or
Speaker 3: six win team. What if this offseason we do the
Speaker 3: inverse of bleep them picks and all we care about
Speaker 3: is the picks, and we hold an auction Aaron Donald,
Speaker 3: you're one of the greatest players in the history of
Speaker 3: the sport. You're also on the trade block. Could you
Speaker 3: get a first round pick and then something for Aaron Donald? Yes,
Speaker 3: they did it, by the way, with Jalen Ramsey. They
Speaker 3: traded Ramsey and got something. Do that with Donald, swallow
Speaker 3: hard and do it with Cooper Cup and do it
Speaker 3: with Matt Staffer. And say, we have a team in
Speaker 3: our division in Arizona that is attempting to get Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3: Do we want to have to deal with Caleb Williams
Speaker 3: for the next ten years? Or do we a team
Speaker 3: from Los Angeles that still, even though we want a
Speaker 3: Super Bowl struggle a bit with a fan base, want
Speaker 3: to have Caleb Williams and the extra draft capital, clean
Speaker 3: our books up this year and move forward and potentially
Speaker 3: be right back in a Super Bowl in three or
Speaker 3: four years. That's what they should have done. And even
Speaker 3: if you want to tell McVeigh. You want a year
Speaker 3: leave of absence, buddy, We'll give it to you. We will.
Speaker 3: We'll let you take a year off. If you don't
Speaker 3: want to deal with this, you can come back for
Speaker 3: this season. This season's gonna be awful. That's what the
Speaker 3: Rams should have done. They didn't. Now they're likely gonna
Speaker 3: have to deal with Caleb Williams in that division because
Speaker 3: I do think the Cardinals are gonna be horrible. I
Speaker 3: think the Cardinals are doing this.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It took him a while, but the smart Way now
Speaker 3: and the Rams I think are gonna be even in
Speaker 3: the bad NFC a bad team all right. Time For
Speaker 3: all interfold, we actually already touched on this one. Betters
Speaker 3: have placed more MVP bets on Justin fields than Mahomes, Allen,
Speaker 3: and Herbert combined. All interfold betting geniuses are gonna bankrupt Vegas.
Speaker 3: That is obviously a fold. And the reason people have
Speaker 3: placed so many bets on fields to win MVP is
Speaker 3: because the odds are so good. I understand that, because
Speaker 3: he has such long odds, I should say, but it
Speaker 3: is a ludicrous bet. And I understand you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: you want to get good value. The value of a
Speaker 3: bet that a zero percent chance of happening is zero.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and fold on that one. Next,
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield was in the bottom tier of your quarterback pyramid,
Speaker 3: reportedly in a tight quarterback competition with Kyle Trask and
Speaker 3: Tampall in her fold, you have to liquidate your Baker,
Speaker 3: your Baker stock. I'm gonna go ahead and fold on that.
Speaker 3: I do not have to liquidate my Baker stock because
Speaker 3: much like last year, all I guaranteed last year in
Speaker 3: the beginning of the year was that he would beat
Speaker 3: out Sam Darnold. He did, then he was terrible with
Speaker 3: the Panthers, had a nice, you know, a nice couple
Speaker 3: moments with the Rams. Baker is going to beat out
Speaker 3: Kyle Trask. Kyle Trask is not an NFL quarterback, flatly
Speaker 3: he is not. And so the now my long term
Speaker 3: Baker's are really good quarterback stocks. Those have already been delisted.
Speaker 3: Those are on the pink sheets. But Baker to beat
Speaker 3: out Kyle Trask. He's gonna do that. Next Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame game, preseason football kicks off tonight. All in her
Speaker 3: fold betting preseason football is acceptable. Oh, I'm all in
Speaker 3: on that. It's absolutely acceptable if you think you can
Speaker 3: find value or have an edge. I know some people
Speaker 3: love betting unders in the in preseason football. I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna be betting the Hall of Fame game, but I
Speaker 3: think that betting preseason games, especially if you feel like
Speaker 3: you have a good pulse on a team or know
Speaker 3: some things about who's gonna play starters and who don't,
Speaker 3: that isn't necessarily the general public's not up on. I
Speaker 3: think it's okay. I wouldn't bet a lot on preseason football.
Speaker 3: You want to bet a little, though, I got no
Speaker 3: problem with it, all right. Next, Travis Kelsey is rocking.
Speaker 3: These guys wrote new lip Foliage. I would never say
Speaker 3: something like that all interfold. Kelsey has done more for
Speaker 3: Mustachers than Top Gun. This is just trying to troll
Speaker 3: me into my anti top Gun take. You're not gonna
Speaker 3: get me on it. That is a weird look from Kelsey,
Speaker 3: and I love Kelsey, but Kelsey going from the fade
Speaker 3: into the beard, the you know, the look that I
Speaker 3: once upon a time had what is called kind of
Speaker 3: the generic cool white guy look. Going from that to
Speaker 3: a look that can only be described as cop is
Speaker 3: an odd choice by him. I doubt he keeps it.
Speaker 3: My guess is it's just a training camp thing. But
Speaker 3: I'm folding on that. Fantasy football Demonse has joined the
Speaker 3: Blue Dock Fantasy Football League. All Interfold, Nick will join
Speaker 3: the Blue Dock Fantasy League. Well, first of all, I
Speaker 3: haven't been invited. Second of all, as has been established,
Speaker 3: I don't play fantasy football. I gamble like an adult.
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm not a good fantasy member because I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna be super invested. I might forget to set
Speaker 3: my lineup. I have too many things going on as
Speaker 3: far as bets to play survivor pools. I'm not doing
Speaker 3: your fancy football league, and I wasn't invited to your
Speaker 3: fantasy football league. Next, Dan Campbell said the NFL denied
Speaker 3: the Lion's request to have an actual lion on the sidelines.
Speaker 3: The Broncos, Seahawks, Ravens, and Browns all have live mascots,
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs, by the way, used to have a
Speaker 3: horse that came on the field. All Interfold, the Lions
Speaker 3: deserve a lion. I love the idea of the Lions
Speaker 3: having a real lion. I think that would have been awesome.
Speaker 3: I think the NFL should revert on that. So I'm
Speaker 3: all in on that follow up. If What's Right had
Speaker 3: a live mascot, what would it be? I mean the
Speaker 3: I can be self deprecating here the obvious answer again,
Speaker 3: I'll let you guys in your car or the producers
Speaker 3: think of it. In fact, for our producers, what animal represents?
Speaker 3: If anyone has any guesses, go ahead and pipe in,
Speaker 3: because there's one obvious one. It's insulting, but it's an
Speaker 3: obvious one. Oh, we have a new person in the
Speaker 3: production room, at least I think we do. Hi, sir,
Speaker 3: good to meet you. Uh. I see he kind of
Speaker 3: has the cool generic white guy look. If you're watching
Speaker 3: the skin fade shaved head into the beard. I like
Speaker 3: that look. That was the look I had for years.
Speaker 3: The do anybody want to guess? Or you guys worries
Speaker 3: you're gonna hurt my feelings? No, it's not. The answer
Speaker 3: is a parrot giant nose talks too much like that
Speaker 3: would be. That's the answer. That's the mascot for the shows.
Speaker 3: If we had a live animal mascot. But no, we
Speaker 3: don't have one. We don't have those. We're not zoned
Speaker 3: for that here at Trentage, Harlem's trendiest and hottest women's boutique.
Speaker 3: All right, Speaking of animals, there's video out of a
Speaker 3: Chinese zoo that shows a bear that a pair appears
Speaker 3: to be a human in a costume all interfold. The
Speaker 3: bear is a human costume in a bear costume. I
Speaker 3: don't I don't know what they're trying to do here.
Speaker 3: That is clearly not a live bear, right, I mean, well,
Speaker 3: now that I'm watching him walk, you know what, I'm
Speaker 3: not certain? Am I an idiot for this? Am I
Speaker 3: supposed to be certain? That Chinese zoo denies its bears
Speaker 3: are humans in disguise? When he's standing there, he sure
Speaker 3: looks like a human and his face doesn't you know? Okay,
Speaker 3: that's a human in a bear disguise. That's pretty clue,
Speaker 3: that's what it is. I don't think that guy who
Speaker 3: was supposed to stand up, Yeah, that's a human in
Speaker 3: a bar disguise. That's not great. Uh, the and in
Speaker 3: they're trying to get me to do some alien thing
Speaker 3: that I'm not doing. I don't even tell. The bear
Speaker 3: is an alien and a human costume in a bear costume.
Speaker 3: By the way, Matt Ford, our producer, extraordinary as I
Speaker 3: drink my delicious Starbucks coffee. Even though I don't even
Speaker 3: have a Starbucks commercial to read today, I just really
Speaker 3: enjoy it. The first half hour, I did Colin Coward's
Speaker 3: podcast on the volume, and we had a bit of
Speaker 3: alien discussion on there. If you want to dive into it.
Speaker 3: Colin let's call him a skeptic. And I gave my
Speaker 3: takes if you'd like more of my alien takes that
Speaker 3: you guys didn't get from last week's pod that people
Speaker 3: enjoyed so much. All right, there's all in her fold.

Speaker 3: Welcome back in episode one sixty nine, What's Right with
Speaker 3: Nick Right, We now read some of your listener questions
Speaker 3: live from the YouTube chat. Uh hawk fan asks what's
Speaker 3: your worst bad beat or most unlucky bet outcome in
Speaker 3: your life? I think I've told this story before, Listen.
Speaker 3: I've had some real bad ones. I mean we all have.
Speaker 3: I lost a massive teas on the Double Doink game
Speaker 3: that Bears playoff game. I also Beamani Jones was at
Speaker 3: my house watching when this one happened. Do you guys
Speaker 3: remember the Steelers. I think his name was Jesse James.
Speaker 3: It was on Sunday Night Football. Yeah, I had a
Speaker 3: huge bet. I remember on I think it was the Steelers'
Speaker 3: money line. It was Patriots Steelers and Jesse James scores
Speaker 3: to win the game. I'm pulling up the video of
Speaker 3: it right now so I can give you the time
Speaker 3: score situation. It's first in goal, there's thirty seconds left,
Speaker 3: and Jesse James scores and goes into the end zone
Speaker 3: to go up four with thirty seconds left. And this
Speaker 3: was that did not survive the ground ruling, which you know,
Speaker 3: one of the you know, was the eleventh consecutive ruling
Speaker 3: like this that benefited the Patriots. I'm watching it again
Speaker 3: right now. It made no sense at the time. He
Speaker 3: caught the ball, no one ever hits him. He then
Speaker 3: reaches across the goal line. I still don't get it
Speaker 3: now they've since changed the rule. I guess it's just
Speaker 3: such a bad, bad review. That one killed me and
Speaker 3: the Steelers ended up losing the game. But my worst
Speaker 3: beat ever was the Kansas Mini National Championship game. The
Speaker 3: and that one I've talked about, but I'll tell you
Speaker 3: the story again. So Memphis was three and a half
Speaker 3: point favorites in that game, and I had just gotten
Speaker 3: out of college, and I was just recently on Who
Speaker 3: Wants to Be a Millionaire? And I had this fifty
Speaker 3: grand and I was gambling a lot, and I had
Speaker 3: just a deep belief that Memphis was going to win
Speaker 3: the game by exactly three points. So I paid a
Speaker 3: stupid big to and I didn't want to bet on
Speaker 3: Kansas plus three and a half because I've rooted against
Speaker 3: Kansas my whole life, And so I bought Memphis down
Speaker 3: from three and a half two to two and a half.
Speaker 3: I also, this was pre online betting really being a thing.
Speaker 3: I was fifteen years ago. It's the seven National Championship game.
Speaker 3: I also got my bookie to give me, I think, again,
Speaker 3: terrible odds like eight to one on it should be
Speaker 3: way more than that. But I don't remember exactly what
Speaker 3: it was, but I know that I had Memphis minus
Speaker 3: two and a half and a real for a real
Speaker 3: amount of money. I mean, I'll say how much it was.
Speaker 3: It's a real amount of money to me now, So
Speaker 3: imagine it was two grand, but it was two grand
Speaker 3: to win like I want to say, like fifteen hundred. Again,
Speaker 3: I was just totally it was such a square bet,
Speaker 3: so I was paying such a high vig to get
Speaker 3: it to two and a half. I think it was
Speaker 3: two grand to win sixteen hundred. But imagine me sixteen
Speaker 3: years ago, how much two grand was to me impossible
Speaker 3: to fathom. And I have Memphis minus two and a
Speaker 3: half and Memphis is in control. Memphis is up seven
Speaker 3: and I'm sorry, They're up nine with two minutes left
Speaker 3: in the game. They then all of a sudden, Memphis
Speaker 3: starts missing their free throws. Chris Douglas Roberts, missus free throws,
Speaker 3: missus free throws, missus free throws. Derek Rose misses a
Speaker 3: free throw with a minute left, Memphis missed a shot, one, two, three,
Speaker 3: three consecutive free throws, and then Derek Rose makes a
Speaker 3: free throw with ten seconds left, and the score is
Speaker 3: sixty three to sixty and one stop. And I win
Speaker 3: my bet, I win my I win both bets. I'm
Speaker 3: also feel like the smartest gambler in the world because
Speaker 3: everyone had Memphis minus three and a half. I had
Speaker 3: them minus two and a half and Mario Chalmers hits
Speaker 3: one of the biggest shots in college basketball history. Memphis
Speaker 3: then missed the three of their own and get blown
Speaker 3: out and overtime, and I am in shambles. I'll never
Speaker 3: forget that one. That's the worst beat of my life. Uh.
Speaker 3: Nick Adams says, how many years do you think Mahomes
Speaker 3: can be the undisputed best in the world before someone
Speaker 3: could take the crown? Could Caleb take it by year three? No,
Speaker 3: I think Mahomes because I think Mome is gonna keep
Speaker 3: winning super Bowls. I think Mahomes is going to be
Speaker 3: universally regarded as the best quarterback in the League through
Speaker 3: the twenty twenties. I think five to six more years minimum.
Speaker 3: Whereas universally regarded the best quarterback in the league, Riguez asked,
Speaker 3: what does the Prince need to do this year to
Speaker 3: be considered the top three quarterback you think he is?
Speaker 3: I mean when league MVP are come close to it,
Speaker 3: and I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he'll
Speaker 3: be a there'll be a twelve or thirteen win team
Speaker 3: and he will be a top three MVP guy and
Speaker 3: people will be like, damn, Nick was right about the
Speaker 3: Jags and Trevor Lawrence again, maybe we should stop mocking
Speaker 3: him for it and start listening to him about it. Uh.
Speaker 3: Carter Say says, what flavors Starbucks, Jill drink are you
Speaker 3: drinking today? I'm drinking banilla myself this morning while enjoying
Speaker 3: the pod. Well, thank you, Carter Say. That's an unpaid endorsement.
Speaker 3: I'm drinking the caramel again. I enjoy this one. This
Speaker 3: is my favorite flavor. What a nice corporate synergy to
Speaker 3: end the pod on. You guys were excellent today. The
Speaker 3: TV show is gonna be great. I'll see you guys
Speaker 3: there and Tuesday Dior's act with the pod. See you guys,
Speaker 3: then what's right?
