Speaker 2: Welcome in episode one seventy six, What's Right with Nick Wright,
Speaker 2: our first true NFL reaction pod since we last talked.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs lost and amazingly, I don't even know if
Speaker 2: that's in the show. This is too much news to
Speaker 2: get to. I am in New York, Demanse in LA.
Speaker 2: Let's first get to what missed before we even there's
Speaker 2: Demanse's beautiful face before we hear from him. Let's tell
Speaker 2: you what missed from today's show. The Raiders, for possibly
Speaker 2: the first time in Demansey's life, are in sole possession
Speaker 2: of first place in the AFC West coach Prime's Buffalo's
Speaker 2: moved to two to zero in what was maybe a
Speaker 2: more impressive win than the win over TCU. And my
Speaker 2: girl Olivia Rodrigo drops a brand new album. Might have
Speaker 2: a little feud with Taylor Swift. I'm here for all
Speaker 2: of it. I've been reading up on this alleged feud.
Speaker 2: Now she's denying it, but I think there might be
Speaker 2: something there. However, it is a Monday in September, or
Speaker 2: a Tuesday, I should say in September, which means we
Speaker 2: have time for any of that. Instead, we must get
Speaker 2: to the football and the devastating news out of New
Speaker 2: Jersey last night. Demanse take us there.
Speaker 3: So obviously Aaron Rodgers got injured last night against the Bills.
Speaker 3: Folks are believing that it's a ruptured achilles. Uh what
Speaker 3: is your reaction, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 2: Well, my immediate reaction is you're obviously devastated for Aaron.
Speaker 2: The I mean the human side of you says this
Speaker 2: is there. It is on the board that that was
Speaker 2: the last football game of his career. I know people
Speaker 2: don't want to talk about that or you know, think
Speaker 2: about that right now. But coming back from an achilles
Speaker 2: injury is a brutal rehab for anyone, for a guy
Speaker 2: who's about to turn forty. I listen, I am, I
Speaker 2: would my money be on that Aaron Rodgers that was
Speaker 2: the final play of his career. No, I don't think
Speaker 2: it's the likeliest outcome. Can you dismiss it as a possibility?
Speaker 2: Of course not. But so after you know the your
Speaker 2: heart goes out to Aaron. You obviously think these poor
Speaker 2: Jet fans, and I know Jet fans don't want to
Speaker 2: hear from me, and they're mad at me because I
Speaker 2: didn't believe in the team. And by the way, as
Speaker 2: maybe salt and the wound, the defense looked as advertised,
Speaker 2: the running game looked even better than even the most
Speaker 2: optimistic Jet fans could have hoped for. You got the win,
Speaker 2: which everyone's gonna be throwing this term around today, and
Speaker 2: they're correct. It is the definition of a pyrrhic victory.
Speaker 2: You win the battle, but you might have lost the war.
Speaker 2: And it is twenty four years ago today that Vinny
Speaker 2: Testaverdi blew his achilles, coming off what was at the
Speaker 2: time the best Jets season since Nameth the ninety eight
Speaker 2: team that went to the AFC title. Game, and then
Speaker 2: in Week one your quarterback pops's achilles and there is
Speaker 2: an element of is this franchise cursed? And you hate it?
Speaker 2: But it's just the reality. I shouldn't say the curses,
Speaker 2: the reality. That's what fans are feeling, and so I
Speaker 2: do impathize with them, and I empathize with Aaron. Now
Speaker 2: I will also say this, and maybe people don't want
Speaker 2: to hear this, but my job is to give my
Speaker 2: honest opinion. Is my honest opinion. While maybe a popt
Speaker 2: achilles was not, in fact, it wasn't foreseeable, even though
Speaker 2: if you remember rogers first practice with the Jets, it
Speaker 2: ended early.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, So it sounds like for his future, you
Speaker 3: think that it's you don't think it's super you think
Speaker 3: it's not super likely that he retires, but he will
Speaker 3: still end up playing if he can maybe get surgery
Speaker 3: and get through this.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean I think he'll. I think I
Speaker 2: think he'll try to come back next year. But I
Speaker 2: also what I also think is that to go back
Speaker 2: to what I was saying, sorry, we had a slight
Speaker 2: tech issue there is Rogers had a calf injury training camp.
Speaker 2: It's now the same leg where it looks like he
Speaker 2: popped his achilles. Again, we don't have the official confirmation,
Speaker 2: but that's what it's certainly that's what everyone is assuming
Speaker 2: has happened here. And if you remember, like when Kevin
Speaker 2: Durant popped his achilles, it started with a CAF injury,
Speaker 2: it led to this. But the other thing is watching
Speaker 2: that game and watching the four snaps Rogers played. The
Speaker 2: Jets failure to address their offensive line, which was why
Speaker 2: I was sounding the alarms all off season, was instantly
Speaker 2: an issue. Instantly he was under duress, and I listen.
Speaker 2: I like Dwayne Brown a lot, and Dwayne Brown, I'm
Speaker 2: sure feels sick that he got that he missed a
Speaker 2: cut block and Rogers got hurt. But you have a
Speaker 2: thirty eight year old left tackle blocking for a thirty
Speaker 2: nine year old quarterback in a division that has teams
Speaker 2: with fearsome pass rushes, where you play the Cowboys in
Speaker 2: Week two, Like, I just do not think this was
Speaker 2: going to end well. Now, it didn't have to end tragically,
Speaker 2: and so I feel sick for Rogers and for the Jets.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what you do for We'll talk
Speaker 2: about what you do this year in a moment. I
Speaker 2: know you want to ask me that demanse, but planning
Speaker 2: for next year, if Rogers wants to come back now,
Speaker 2: he will be a forty soon to be forty one
Speaker 2: year old coming off an Achilles injury. I just it
Speaker 2: doesn't get any worse than this, And the Achilles injury
Speaker 2: is a bit of a freak injury. You're soon to
Speaker 2: be forty year old quarterback buying a makeshift offensive line.
Speaker 2: Getting hurt is not occurrence, and it is. And even
Speaker 2: on the play that Rogers got hurt on, it's a
Speaker 2: cup block supposed to be boom boom out I think
Speaker 2: was Garrett Wilson didn't come open, so he was looking
Speaker 2: for someone. And it's just terribly unfortunate and you feel
Speaker 2: sick for everybody involved. But it should be noted like
Speaker 2: forty something year old quarterbacks get hurt when they're not
Speaker 2: named Tom Brady, Peyton Manning got hurt his second to
Speaker 2: last year and then suffered a major injury his final year.
Speaker 2: Drew Brees got hurt each of his final two years.
Speaker 2: Brett Favre with the Jets tore his bicept and then
Speaker 2: played through it. I old quarterbacks playing tackle football get injured,
Speaker 2: and it's it's not the time obviously for any I
Speaker 2: told you sos or anything. It's not what I'm trying
Speaker 2: to do. But that were skeptical about the Jets were skeptical.
Speaker 2: The biggest reason was is the offensive line going to
Speaker 2: hold up? And four plays into the season, Rogers suffers
Speaker 2: a season ending injury. It's brutal, just brutal. All right,
Speaker 2: what are your follow ups?
Speaker 3: Demanse? Uh? Do you you still think they can make
Speaker 3: the playoffs given how the defense and the running game looked?
Speaker 3: And also, do you think it's wait, actually you know
Speaker 3: it will wait for that one? Go ahead? Go ahead?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, go ahead? Ask me both.
Speaker 3: Uh do you think that the Jets should call on
Speaker 3: Brady like you alluded to in your tweet?
Speaker 2: I think they gotta call somebody they got it. But
Speaker 2: here's the thing on the Brady part of it, and
Speaker 2: then I'll get to go ahead.
Speaker 3: Demanse Zach was I was, first of all, I think
Speaker 3: it's it's gotta suck mindset wise for these guys to
Speaker 3: still have won that game with Rogers being out, because
Speaker 3: I feel like it's going to make them think even
Speaker 3: more in a certain direction. But glad that they got
Speaker 3: to win. And Zach Wilson didn't look as bad as
Speaker 3: he looked last year. But he's still obviously not Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 3: but and.
Speaker 2: He still looked he had a few Zach Wilson moments,
Speaker 2: the old roll right, throw left. You can't win with
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, flatly, you just can't. So I brought up
Speaker 2: Brady because he's available. But here's the here's the thing
Speaker 2: about Brady, and this, to me kind of proves the
Speaker 2: initial point I was making. Let's say Brady sold his
Speaker 2: share of the Raiders and was allowed to come back.
Speaker 2: If the Jets called Tom Brady, he would say no.
Speaker 2: And you know why, because Brady would not play behind
Speaker 2: that offensive line.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. You were saying old man blocking for
Speaker 3: old man quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: So like Brady would not correct. But everyone would be like, oh,
Speaker 2: Brady can't play behind that old line. Why they thought
Speaker 2: it would be a good idea for Rogers play behind
Speaker 2: that old line is crazy. Is just makes no sense
Speaker 2: to me. Now. Mike Tannenbaum mentioned Matt Stafford. If the
Speaker 2: Rams decide to turn in the tank direction, that's an
Speaker 2: interesting one. Making that work salary cap wise, and then
Speaker 2: giving up more draft capital for another agent quarterback. And
Speaker 2: that really is complicated if Rogers plans to come back
Speaker 2: next year, So I don't know if that's realistic. The
Speaker 2: free agent quarterbacks are Matt Ryan. We saw how that
Speaker 2: went in Indy, Carson Wentz. We've seen how that's gone everywhere.
Speaker 2: There are two names that if I were running the Jets,
Speaker 2: I would call about. The first one is Jamis. I
Speaker 2: would take a shot on Jamis. He's the backup in
Speaker 2: New Orleans. He's better than Zach Wilson, obviously, and you
Speaker 2: know he can make the throws. You hope he can
Speaker 2: avoid the turnovers. But Zach Wilson can't avoid the turnovers
Speaker 2: and he can't even make the throws and then the
Speaker 2: next one, and folks are gonna kill me for it.
Speaker 2: But if you remember the Jets last year, there was
Speaker 2: a half of one game that they brought in Chris Streveler,
Speaker 2: who was just running every play, and they actually looked
Speaker 2: half decent for like a half, and then it went
Speaker 2: to hell. I would maybe call the Cowboys about Trey
Speaker 2: Lance and say, you guys gave up a fourth round
Speaker 2: pick for him, We'll give you a fourth and a seventh.
Speaker 2: That way, you guys just made an all time smart trade.
Speaker 2: You just you had a guy for two weeks and
Speaker 2: you picked up a seventh round pick just for being
Speaker 2: the conduit. We are going to get him in the
Speaker 2: building and see if we can run with our defense
Speaker 2: in our running game by week eight and our po
Speaker 2: based attack, get him out there and had you know,
Speaker 2: and then even if Rogers wants to come back next year,
Speaker 2: that's fine, but you don't have good options. And again
Speaker 2: people are like, Nick, when are you gonna get over
Speaker 2: the Trey Lance thing. I am not saying he's good.
Speaker 2: I'm saying we have no idea. He's the same draft
Speaker 2: as Zach Zach Wilson went to. In that draft, Trey
Speaker 2: Lance went three. We know Zach Wilson's terrible. We don't
Speaker 2: know about Trey Lance. And with that running game, maybe
Speaker 2: that would make more sense, and to me that might
Speaker 2: be worth a flyer. But the short version of this
Speaker 2: demons is there, they have no good options. They have
Speaker 2: no good options now to your question, and for Trey
Speaker 2: it would be the best because he'd actually get to play. Now.
Speaker 2: I didn't think the Jets were gonna make the playoffs
Speaker 2: even with a healthy Rogers. Now, what I will say
Speaker 2: is that's a big win they got, and we'll see
Speaker 2: how much disarray the Bills are in. I also say,
Speaker 2: in the entire AFC, who looked awesome, the whole AFC,
Speaker 2: who looked awesome this weekend? The Dolphins and the Prince.
Speaker 2: That's it. The AFC North, which I thought was gonna
Speaker 2: be the worst division, the best division in football. Deshaun
Speaker 2: still can't throw, Lamar kind of still can't throw. Burrow
Speaker 2: threw for eighty yards and the Steelers got dog walked.
Speaker 2: The AFC South was worse than advertised, and it was
Speaker 2: advertised the worst division in football. The Chiefs lost, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Well, Jacks looked good all the way through. I could
Speaker 3: have sworn at one point it seemed like Indya was
Speaker 3: gonna win.
Speaker 2: Okay, if you listen, this is where the I think,
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was your own thing fails
Speaker 2: if you listen closely. I said, who looked great this weekend?
Speaker 2: The Dolphins and the Prince. I did not say the
Speaker 2: Jags looked great. I said the Prince looked great. So
Speaker 2: the Dolphins looked awesome, and Trevor Lawrence looked awesome. You're right.
Speaker 2: The Jags had a few mishaps. They still end up
Speaker 2: winning by ten and covering. Thank you. Uh so, I
Speaker 2: I don't think you can make the playoffs with Zach
Speaker 2: Wilson as your quarterback. I do think the AFC, everyone
Speaker 2: said all off season, I was one of them. AFC
Speaker 2: better than NFC by far. There were four demons cross
Speaker 2: conference matchups this weekend, NFC versus AFC. The NFC went
Speaker 2: four and up. As always, we know nothing except for
Speaker 2: on this next topic, where I have been the only
Speaker 2: person who has been right for two years, and I
Speaker 2: am going to take my god dogged vactory lap right now.
Speaker 2: Go ahead ask the question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean go ahead. Are the Bills you saw
Speaker 3: the game last night? Josh Allen obviously threw three picks
Speaker 3: the force of the fumble snap. Are the Bills screwed?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if the Bills are screwed, but
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Josh Allen because I have
Speaker 2: been called so many names forget by random people on Twitter,
Speaker 2: by colleagues. I'm trolling. I'm just trying to hot take
Speaker 2: for ratings. And by the way, it's Albert Breer tweeted
Speaker 2: twenty minutes ago. Quote, lots of people firing off takes
Speaker 2: on Josh Allen last night as if it's still twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: He didn't play well, but the idea he's suddenly going
Speaker 2: to see who he's been the last three years is
Speaker 2: down right meronic. Here's the problem.
Speaker 4: I'll be with everyone that it is not that I
Speaker 4: and now.
Speaker 2: There's a whole group of people with me are pretending
Speaker 2: it's twenty nineteen. It's that the entirety of the media
Speaker 2: has pretended it's still twenty twenty. Twenty twenty. Josh Allen
Speaker 2: was undeniably awesome. His team was awesome. They made the
Speaker 2: AFC title Game in twenty twenty one. He was so
Speaker 2: not awesome that, in a year where even Mac Jones
Speaker 2: made the Pro Bowl as an alternate, he didn't. Now
Speaker 2: he was unbelievable in two playoff games, one of which
Speaker 2: his team lost, and because of that, everyone memory hold
Speaker 2: the entire year where he had a ninety two passer rating,
Speaker 2: which was good I think for seventeenan football. Since that
Speaker 2: playoff game against the Chiefs, Josh Allen has played nineteen games.
Speaker 2: He has thirty nine picks and fumbles in those nineteen
Speaker 2: Games thirty nine. I tweeted about it last night. After
Speaker 2: I tweeted about it, he fumbled twice on the same play.
Speaker 4: I said before the year, Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Was unquestionably one of the four best quarterbacks in football
Speaker 2: right now that and oh, it's hot takes right now
Speaker 2: this moment, one hundred dollars cash. If you can say
Speaker 2: with a straight face four quarterbacks better than him, you
Speaker 2: can't certain things. And everyone's like, Oh, how are you
Speaker 2: gonna say Trevor over Josh right now this moment? Who
Speaker 2: you want right now, this moment? Who you want for
Speaker 2: this year, this week, this decade. You know. The worst
Speaker 2: play Josh Allen made last night, it was not the
Speaker 2: first pick in the end zone. It was not the
Speaker 2: second pick in the end zone. It was not the
Speaker 2: third pick on the sideline. It wasn't the fumble in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. The worst play Josh Allen made was
Speaker 2: on third down at the end of the first half
Speaker 2: when he was eight yards from the first down marker
Speaker 2: with thirty seconds left, and he tried to hurdle two
Speaker 2: defenders and got power bombed like Vader in the WWE
Speaker 2: in the mid nineties.
Speaker 4: Like what are you doing? What's the plan there?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hurdle two defenders for who? For what? So
Speaker 2: I can be seven yards short of a first down
Speaker 2: and then kick a field goal. The everyone is just
Speaker 2: now catching up that Josh Allen's ceiling is as high
Speaker 2: as any quarterback in the league not named Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: But the floor is bad. And this morning what has
Speaker 2: been conventional wisdom from me for two years is now
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna be like, Hey, when are we gonna start
Speaker 2: talking about Josh Allen's turnovers? Catch up? It's been there
Speaker 2: and anyone today who after a You know, if you're
Speaker 2: listening to this on the way to work, whatever it is,
Speaker 2: maybe you're like demons or myself actually, and you enjoy
Speaker 2: after a hard day, maybe getting the game of Madden
Speaker 2: in grab the box and look who the cover athlete
Speaker 2: is and ask yourself, why why is Josh Allen on
Speaker 2: the cover of Madden. Jalen Hurts isn't. Joe Burrow isn't.
Speaker 2: The Prince isn't. Mahomes isn't. But he's been at twice
Speaker 2: so that's fine. Why because the media anointed him because
Speaker 2: he and I said it then and I will say
Speaker 2: it again. Josh Allen. The best win of his career
Speaker 2: was a loss, the thirteen second game against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: He got more credit for losing that game then Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes got for winning that game, despite the fact that
Speaker 2: as great as Alan was in that game, who had
Speaker 2: more passing yards? Oh, Mahomes by fifty. Oh, but Josh
Speaker 2: Allen's a great runner. Really, yeah, he is. Who had
Speaker 2: more rushing yards? Holmes, who had more rushing touchdowns? Mahomes,
Speaker 2: who was up against the tougher defense, Mahomes.
Speaker 3: Is this the origin story of this whole Josh Allen
Speaker 3: anti thing?
Speaker 2: So here's the thing.
Speaker 4: No, it's the origin story.
Speaker 2: Is, as is often the case, I'm right and the
Speaker 2: rest of the media is late. That's the origin story.
Speaker 2: The origins. Listen, I have three types of takes. Undeniably
Speaker 2: correct in the moment, undeniably correct eventually, and cartoonishly wrong.
Speaker 2: That's it. Those are the three. Those are the only
Speaker 2: takes that you get from me. Typically you get the
Speaker 2: first two. Occasionally you get let me, how do I
Speaker 2: get this in the front of the camera. Occasionally you
Speaker 2: get never a doubt chieves twenty and oh tattoo. Steph
Speaker 2: will never get Steph will never make the finals again,
Speaker 2: Like say, there is there's no gray area, and the
Speaker 2: it just so sometimes it's Trevor Lawrence. What what? I'm
Speaker 2: just curious when the Jags were two and seven and
Speaker 2: I was still calling Trevor Lawrence the prince that was promised,
Speaker 2: saying his top five quarterback that take now falls into
Speaker 2: what category? Undeniably right eventually, adventure, undeniably right, eventually Caleb
Speaker 2: Williams right now being the third most valuable quarterback in
Speaker 2: the world. Guess what it's gonna fall into, undeniably correct eventually,
Speaker 2: Josh Allen being wildly overrated. When the discussion one year
Speaker 2: ago today, google it, you know what, Go to Google,
Speaker 2: go to Google News, or just go to regular Google
Speaker 2: and click on the tools tab, like where you can
Speaker 2: pick the time, pick September of twenty twenty two and
Speaker 2: type this in Josh Allen better than Mahomes and see
Speaker 2: how many articles one year ago today after that Rams
Speaker 2: Monday night or Thursday night football victory, we're saying he's
Speaker 2: QB one, He's the best quarterback in the world.
Speaker 3: So I've got a question, is, yeah, is this gonna
Speaker 3: be the last time you picked the Bills on the show.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they screwed me. I mean I picked
Speaker 2: him to win. I had him in the picks, and
Speaker 2: I mean Aaron Rodgers goes out four snaps in and
Speaker 2: they can't even win that game. I'm give me a break, Buffalo.
Speaker 2: I mean, what a travesty.
Speaker 3: It's embarrassing, dude, But I'm just crazy.
Speaker 2: I'm just right now by the way, I'm stealing the
Speaker 2: Bills make the playoffs. People now are gonna go too
Speaker 2: far in the other direction. What you're gonna get to
Speaker 2: a is now this take? Who would you rather have?
Speaker 2: Josh Allen or Rock Party? Bro one guy takes got
Speaker 2: of the ball? No over. People will give that take.
Speaker 2: People will say that the Bills are gonna miss the playoffs.
Speaker 2: I won't give either of those takes.
Speaker 3: I won't give that take.
Speaker 2: Don't think which one.
Speaker 3: Rock Party I won? Brock Perty. I think Rock Party
Speaker 3: is actually good. I can tell you just you.
Speaker 2: Also think Daniel Jones is actually good? How'd that work
Speaker 2: out for you? Let's go to the next topic. Would
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about it right here?
Speaker 3: Hey man, you're picked to win the NFC is looking great, obviously,
Speaker 3: My guy Daniel Jones is running for his life. Uh,
Speaker 3: Yet the forty nine ers looked unstoppable. Your lack of
Speaker 3: the week Pittsburgh didn't look unstoppable versus my guy, Brock
Speaker 3: Party Rock Party is my guy. By the way, Uh,
Speaker 3: you jink you jinked the forty nine ers last year
Speaker 3: and you worry? Are you worried you'll do the same
Speaker 3: with Dallas as year?
Speaker 2: No, listen, I don't believe in Jinx's even though Demons
Speaker 2: thinks he jinks. Odell and that I.
Speaker 3: I mean that was that was eight hours, that wasn't
Speaker 3: even days weeks. That's true.
Speaker 2: He did play, I mean technically he played. If you
Speaker 2: watched the Ravens game, you couldn't really tell Odell played,
Speaker 2: but he did play. I'm not worried about jinxing the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys looked exactly like I thought they'd look now
Speaker 2: forty to nothing. I didn't expect, obviously, but they have
Speaker 2: the best defense in football, the best defense in football.
Speaker 2: The Niners looked unbelievable, and I've got to give him
Speaker 2: a ton of credit. They looked great in a tough
Speaker 2: environment against what I thought was going to be a
Speaker 2: good team in Pittsburgh. And I'm not writing off the
Speaker 2: Steelers yet, but the Niners looked absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they have the best defense.
Speaker 2: By the way, God, sorry, who do you think has
Speaker 2: the best defense?
Speaker 3: I think it'd be the team that we saw last night.
Speaker 3: Oh the Jets, that kid that that stepped in after
Speaker 3: their quarterback was injured. You know, I mean they won
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 2: That's a good take. I mean I the that And
Speaker 2: by the way, we get that game next week. Cowboys,
Speaker 2: Jets and anybody that's holding out hope Zach Wilson's gonna
Speaker 2: be able to keep this ship afloat. Wait till Micah
Speaker 2: Parsons throws him through the center of the earth. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's not gonna be great. Uh, but yeah, the Cowboys
Speaker 2: Jets next week will be. It might be the two
Speaker 2: best defenses. That's a fair take. The Niners defense obviously
Speaker 2: looked phenomenal.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And it looks like that's a collision course. I know
Speaker 2: the Eagles won. They didn't look great. They won, but
Speaker 2: that secondary can get got. Man. You let Mac Jones
Speaker 2: throw for three hundred yards and three touchdowns. That that
Speaker 2: means you'd let a full grown adult quarterback throw for
Speaker 2: like four point fifty and five touchdowns.
Speaker 3: That's a adult quarterback.
Speaker 2: And so that's a that's a real concern. And so
Speaker 2: Cowboys do look really good. Dak didn't play great, but
Speaker 2: he didn't need to demons. Scale of one being how
Speaker 2: Cowboys fans field today as far as concern, not concerned
Speaker 2: at all. Ten being total outright panic. Your level of
Speaker 2: concern about your giants and Daniel Jones after that Week
Speaker 2: one performance.
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, it's probably a rebuilding year at this point.
Speaker 3: I'm not really yeah, I mean I was never really
Speaker 3: picking them to go far. I thought they might have
Speaker 3: been able to sneak into the playoffs. But it is still,
Speaker 3: like you said, one of the top defenses in the
Speaker 3: league right now. I think we do need a couple
Speaker 3: more weeks of evaluation and then, like the weather, I
Speaker 3: feel like also plays a part.
Speaker 2: That's the right take, and it's snowballed on him. You
Speaker 2: get a pump, but you get a field goal blocked
Speaker 2: return for a touchdown, then a pick six touchdown or
Speaker 2: a fumble six touchdown. It just the whole thing just
Speaker 2: snowballed on them. I'm not ready to say they're totally cooked,
Speaker 2: but it did not look good. All right?
Speaker 3: Next, all right, so Chris Jones signed an extension and
Speaker 3: you were already in danger of jinxing the Chiefs. Kansas
Speaker 3: City plays the Prince this week on Thursday, I believe. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, Thursday is Eagles Vikings. This is Sunday at one o'clock.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, sorry, okay, all right? So who will you
Speaker 2: choose the Jinks this week? Chiefs or the Prince?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: I don't believe in James, so tell us.
Speaker 3: He thinks gonna win and then the other team, the
Speaker 3: Chiefs are gonna win. The Chiefs Prince gonna lived this weekend.
Speaker 2: I want to say this about I'm glad Chris is back.
Speaker 2: I Chris's agents really really did him wrong here, and
Speaker 2: it's upsetting to me. Chris Jones had on the table
Speaker 2: a two year, fully guaranteed, fifty four point five million
Speaker 2: dollar extension that was on the table.
Speaker 3: Ages is are you dropping a scoop right now? I
Speaker 3: haven't seen this anywhere.
Speaker 2: I said it on TV last week, but I didn't.
Speaker 2: Nobody gives me credit for breaking news, So if you
Speaker 2: weren't watching the segment, I mean I also broke the
Speaker 2: news that Travis Kelce was out thirty minutes before everyone else.
Speaker 2: I had it, and then all of a sudden rap
Speaker 2: aport and everyone's like sources say, yeah, agreed, but you
Speaker 2: guys are just late. I don't break a lot of stories.
Speaker 2: But let me tell you something in America, the if
Speaker 2: it's on the Kansas City Chiefs, you can trust me.
Speaker 2: So and by the way, after I explained the details
Speaker 2: on the Chris Jones story, what go ahead, you want
Speaker 2: to make fun of me.
Speaker 3: I don't think exactly a position to say that right now.
Speaker 3: I think you gotta wait until give it a few
Speaker 3: more weeks, maybe halfway into the season, see if they
Speaker 3: can go.
Speaker 2: There is a difference between a prediction and breaking news.
Speaker 2: I am not brave. I was not reporting the Chiefs
Speaker 2: were going twenty and oh you smart ass, that was
Speaker 2: a prediction. So the the details that, by the way,
Speaker 2: Florio corroborated it. Everyone acknowledges these that Chris was offered
Speaker 2: two years, fully guaranteed fifty four and a half million
Speaker 2: dollar extension. He wanted two years, fully guaranteed sixty four
Speaker 2: million dollar extension. So at nine and a half million
Speaker 2: dollar delta there right the Chiefs. If he would have
Speaker 2: signed the extension, he wouldn't have gotten fined what he
Speaker 2: got fined in training camp, wouldn't miss the game check,
Speaker 2: so he would have over the next three years. Had
Speaker 2: fully guaranteed to him seventy four million dollars nineteen point
Speaker 2: five this year plus the two years tacked on the
Speaker 2: deal he got does not guarantee him a raise this
Speaker 2: year does not guarantee him. They can't franchise tag him.
Speaker 2: His salary stays the same. Now he can make up
Speaker 2: the two million he lost in fines by playing time
Speaker 2: incentives that he should make up. In order, though, to
Speaker 2: make up the million dollar game check he lost, he
Speaker 2: has to either be a first team All Pro or
Speaker 2: have double digit sacks, And in order to make the
Speaker 2: full twenty five million he can now make, he needs
Speaker 2: to be first team All Pro, have seventeen sacks, and
Speaker 2: the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. If all of those
Speaker 2: things happen, once you incorporate the money lost in all
Speaker 2: of that, he maxes out at twenty two million dollars
Speaker 2: this year with no guaranteed money moving forward, and the
Speaker 2: Chiefs can franchise tag him. I think his agents gave
Speaker 2: him ten terrible advice, and I listen Chris Jones, one
Speaker 2: of the greatest players in the history of my favorite team.
Speaker 2: They do not win the Super Bowl against the forty
Speaker 2: nine Ers without Chris Jones's play in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: and they do not beat the Bengals last year without
Speaker 2: Chris Jones' plays on the final drive or throughout the game,
Speaker 2: but certainly the final drive. He deserves the money, but
Speaker 2: I think his agents were more worried about them getting
Speaker 2: a headline that they got their guy the most money
Speaker 2: ever than they were about doing the actual math on
Speaker 2: whether or not they're costing him money. But here's what
Speaker 2: I'll say about the Chiefs. Saw the Bengals looked, saw
Speaker 2: the Bills looked. The Broncos lost again, the Chargers lost
Speaker 2: in Charger fashion. The Ravens didn't look great. It sucks,
Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers done for the year aside from the Dolphins,
Speaker 2: and we'll see him against the Jags this week. This
Speaker 2: weekend couldn't have gone better for the Chiefs purposes of
Speaker 2: winning the AFC once again. Okay, we now have breaking news.
Speaker 2: It's official. As we thought, Rogers done for the year,
Speaker 2: complete tear of his left achilles out for the season.
Speaker 2: That I mean we talked. We did the start of
Speaker 2: the show as if that were breaking new, as if
Speaker 2: we knew that, because we kind of did. But now
Speaker 2: it is, it is official. All right, let's get to
Speaker 2: the last couple of topics here to monse because this
Speaker 2: has been a very long a block, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Man, bet your chiefs would have loved to have
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill Thursday night. Man, he went crazy on Sunday
Speaker 3: with two hundred plus yards. He's won rings, he's transformed
Speaker 3: to it, and he's just simply changed the game. A
Speaker 3: lot of people referring to him as the best offensive
Speaker 3: weapon in football right now or the best weapon in football.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, he's Tyreek Kill officially one of the top
Speaker 3: five receivers of all time.
Speaker 2: No, we can't go that far yet. No, no, no, we
Speaker 2: can't go that far yet. The I mean, it's obviously
Speaker 2: Jerriot number one. I believe ran Indi at number two.
Speaker 2: And then there is an argument for the next few
Speaker 2: spots of to Chris Carter, my old colleague in Pal,
Speaker 2: Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, all those guys are in that discussion,
Speaker 2: plus some old timers I'm probably leaving out of his era.
Speaker 2: It's he and Davonte Adams. Davante is the only receiver
Speaker 2: in this era with more yards and more touchdowns than
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill. And I think Tyreek is more dangerous than Devonte.
Speaker 2: And so listen, Tyreek is continuing to rewrite what's possible.
Speaker 2: And he's a first Ballad Hall of Famer and a legend.
Speaker 2: But top five all time is too far for my purposes.
Speaker 2: What's your follow up, Demonte?
Speaker 3: After last night? Do you think the Dolphins of the
Speaker 3: class of the AFC East?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I mean I picked him to win
Speaker 2: the division before last night, so some of us, you know,
Speaker 2: could see this train coming down the tracks. I think
Speaker 2: Demanse finds me more uh irritating cross country than when
Speaker 2: he's just sitting here. I think the arrogance really drips
Speaker 2: through the screen in a way that that turns them off.
Speaker 3: It's about the same. It's about the same. Uh, it's
Speaker 3: about the same.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's great duty. Right now, I'm asking you right
Speaker 2: now this moment, who do you like in the AFC East?
Speaker 2: All like the so the Bills, Jets, Patriots, Dolphins. I
Speaker 2: picked the before the year. I picked one Bills, two, Patriots, three,
Speaker 2: Jets four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I can't really pick anybody in there
Speaker 3: besides the Dolphins. I don't I don't have too much
Speaker 3: certainty with the Jets. I think the defense is gonna
Speaker 3: hold up all year, but I don't know how much
Speaker 3: that's going to to be able to do. So, I mean,
Speaker 3: the Dolphins do look the best on paper right now,
Speaker 3: and especially given the games over the weekend.
Speaker 2: So I mean, right, and that defense. While he got
Speaker 2: shredded throughout the game, they got big sacks at the end,
Speaker 2: which they needed. We're gonna skip the Burrow topic because
Speaker 2: we've gone so long here, take a very quick break,
Speaker 2: come back and play a brand new game, plus Demande's
Speaker 2: favorite tennis corner. We do all that next. What's Right.

Speaker 2: Hey, this episode of What's Right and Mcwrite is brought
Speaker 2: to you by the McDonald's App. How many times have
Speaker 2: you been in that situation where you've had a really

Speaker 2: with you, I've been in that situation hundreds of times,
Speaker 2: and my saving grace has been the McDelivery option in

Speaker 2: twenty twenty three McDonald's all right, welcome back. In episode
Speaker 2: one seventy six. What's right with Nick?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: It is, you know, Tuesday after Week one of the NFL.
Speaker 2: But that does not mean we are going to avoid
Speaker 2: the finals of the US Open, one of my favorite
Speaker 2: events of the year. I can't yet see Demonse, but
Speaker 2: I am sure he is just licking his chops to
Speaker 2: discuss this. Now I can see him, Demonse, Time for
Speaker 2: tennis corner. Let's go.
Speaker 3: Let's get to it, man, tennis corner. All right. Cocoa
Speaker 3: Golf became the youngest American to win the US Opened
Speaker 3: since Serena in nineteen ninety nine. Novak Djokovic won his
Speaker 3: twenty fourth Grand Slam, most ever, by the way, little
Speaker 3: congested sor right, that's right, I don't worry about two questions.
Speaker 3: Is golf the new face of women's tennis? And is
Speaker 3: Djokovic now on your Mount Rushmore of goats greatest all tennis? Okay,
Speaker 3: go ahead, No, I think I so it's regular.
Speaker 2: It's just regular. Go He's certainly on the tennis Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 2: The question is is he on the all the all
Speaker 2: sports Mount Rushmore. Let me do golf first, so uh goff?
Speaker 2: Is the new face of women's tennis. There's no question
Speaker 2: about it. She's delightful, her story is awesome. She is,
Speaker 2: I think, better than anyone expected at this point. And
Speaker 2: because Naomi Osaka uh has kind of gone in a
Speaker 2: different direction, the door is wide open and GoF has
Speaker 2: slammed her way through it. It's wonderful and it is
Speaker 2: the lasting legacy of Venus and Serena. It's just it, just,
Speaker 2: without question, is young black girls in America looking at
Speaker 2: tennis as a top option, whether it's Madison Keys or
Speaker 2: Coco or Naomi Osaka. It is what the what Tie
Speaker 2: Hager did for golf, Venus and Serena, I think even
Speaker 2: more so did for tennis. It's amazing. It's one of
Speaker 2: the coolest stories ever. And Coco is spectacular and easy
Speaker 2: to root for and a badass joke. Listen. I once
Speaker 2: again lost money on the men's side of the bracket.
Speaker 2: I bet Alcarez. I went to see Alcarez in the
Speaker 2: semifinal against Medvedev. I was there. Those were expensive tickets.
Speaker 2: Car how about this Demanse Carm. You know Carm, you
Speaker 2: love Karm Carm. He comes in every year for the
Speaker 2: US Open and we go to the beginning, you know,
Speaker 2: the first few days of it together. He comes in
Speaker 2: for like four days. He goes all day every day.
Speaker 2: I go to a couple of days, but tickets get
Speaker 2: more and more and more expensive. I can never go
Speaker 2: to the men's final because it's idiotically on the same
Speaker 2: Sunday of Week one of the NFL every year. I
Speaker 2: don't know what they got to just move the US
Speaker 2: Open back one week so the mint so the finals
Speaker 2: or the weekend before the NFL starts. Set that aside.
Speaker 2: Karm texts me on Thursday afternoon and said, you should
Speaker 2: get semifinal tickets. See Djokovic in the afternoon, Medvedev, Alkarez
Speaker 2: at night. All fly in for it. And I think
Speaker 2: he was joking, but you know, I the I typically
Speaker 2: buy tickets to all sporting events, but I have a
Speaker 2: few ways if it's like a super expensive ticket that
Speaker 2: I can, you know, call in a bit of a
Speaker 2: favor and be like, hey, can I get a couple
Speaker 2: tickets to this? And so I called in that favor
Speaker 2: and within thirty minutes I had a couple of tickets
Speaker 2: to the semifinal. I texted Karm a picture of him
Speaker 2: and said we're in there. He couldn't believe it. He
Speaker 2: flew in Southwest flight Friday morning, south West flight back
Speaker 2: to Chicago's Saturday morning, and Tamarm considers himself like an
Speaker 2: amateur professional tennis player. By the way, if anyone's watching
Speaker 2: this in Chicago, you can watch him on chgo listen
Speaker 2: to him on WGN. He used to radio with me
Speaker 2: and Kansey. He's one of the best guys ever. And
Speaker 2: when we were walking in He's turned to me and
Speaker 2: he goes, NICKI min's semi final. I can't believe we're here.
Speaker 2: He was so happy, he was just so over the mood.
Speaker 2: He was like he was like, it's a totally different
Speaker 2: crowd than tire earlier in the week. So I'm like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 2: The thing with the US Open is Dieard tennis fans
Speaker 2: are there early in the week, early in the tournament,
Speaker 2: and as the tournament moves on it becomes more hyper
Speaker 2: separate and yeah and yeah less. I mean for the
Speaker 2: men's final, Lil Wayne was there. Everyone was at the
Speaker 2: men's final. But I watched Medvedev beat Alcarez. Medvedev was unbelievable,
Speaker 2: played a great man. And then Djokovic of course. Listen.
Speaker 2: I if I'm ranking my favorite tennis male tennis players ever,
Speaker 2: Nadal's won fetterers two. I don't even know where Djokovic
Speaker 2: is as far as my favorites, but he's undeniably amazing.
Speaker 2: And the fact that he has played seventy two I
Speaker 2: might be off by one or two on this. I
Speaker 2: think he has entered seventy two majors and he's made
Speaker 2: the finals thirty six times. Half of the majors he's
Speaker 2: entered in the hardest era in the history of tennis.
Speaker 2: He has made the final is one of the most
Speaker 2: remarkable things in the history of the sport. And since
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, here is what he has done in
Speaker 2: the majors. Australian Open won it for twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: won the Australian won, the French, won Wimbledon. Lost in
Speaker 2: the finals of the US Open to Medvedev. Twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: didn't play in the Australian Open, made the quarterfinals of
Speaker 2: the French, won Wimbledon, didn't play in the US Open.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty three won the Australian, won the French, lost
Speaker 2: in the finals to Alcarez of Wimbledon. Won the US Open.
Speaker 2: So in the last three years, Demons, he has played
Speaker 2: in ten of the twelve majors. He has won seven
Speaker 2: of the tennies played in and lost in the finals
Speaker 2: in two of the other ten, and then lost in
Speaker 2: the quarters of the French. It is absolutely remarkable what
Speaker 2: he's done over the last three years. And he's now
Speaker 2: at twenty four majors. It's undeniable what he is. I
Speaker 2: know you have a lot to say on this, but
Speaker 2: we're short on time, so we can move on if
Speaker 2: you want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was more like a tennis room. That wasn't
Speaker 3: really a tennis corner. We did a whole little thing
Speaker 3: right there. It's supposed to be a corner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, let's keep going. Well, how does.
Speaker 3: So we've got a new game. We've got a new
Speaker 3: game called Factor Overreact week. One breed breeds a lot
Speaker 3: of overreactions, but there has to be some truth to it. Huh.
Speaker 3: It's your job to decide for what is fact and
Speaker 3: what is an overreaction. So first off, we've got it.
Speaker 3: Jordan Love. Seems like Aaron Rodgers left the deed to
Speaker 3: the Bears to Jordan Love because he now owns the Bears.
Speaker 3: As well. Love looked amazing in his first week one start,
Speaker 3: and the Packers looked actually pretty good. Factor overreact, green
Speaker 3: Bay is better with Love than Rogers.
Speaker 2: Well, fact, if we're just saying the Green Bay this
Speaker 2: year will be better than Green Bay was last year,
Speaker 2: and that they again obviously take the Rogers Achilles injury
Speaker 2: out of it. When I'm talking about that. The Packers
Speaker 2: last year were a terrible vibes team. Rogers was hurt,
Speaker 2: didn't play great, and was it seemed like it was
Speaker 2: the end of the road there. On the other hand,
Speaker 2: you have Love, who's gonna be just fine. They have
Speaker 2: a very good running game, they have a good defense. Now,
Speaker 2: I also think the Bears might just be in shambles, but.
Speaker 3: It seems like they're holds up pretty well too.
Speaker 2: The Packers. Absolutely yeah, and listen, I picked the Packers
Speaker 2: will win that division. Now the Lions on Monday Night
Speaker 2: on Thursday football and it's the Chiefs defense looked better
Speaker 2: than I thought they would, So we'll see on that.
Speaker 2: But I think, for I think this year's Packers will
Speaker 2: be better than last year's Packers. Next.
Speaker 3: All right, the rookie quarterbacks got off to a rough start.
Speaker 3: Bryce young C. J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson all lost
Speaker 3: in their debuts and uh played poorly. Meanwhile, Jordan Love
Speaker 3: sat for three years and look pretty good. Factor overreact
Speaker 3: Throwing rookie qbs into the fire doesn't work well.
Speaker 2: Depends on what you define his work. They're all gonna
Speaker 2: struggle as rookies. But if you think you have a superstar,
Speaker 2: the Love thing was weird because you had Rogers there.
Speaker 2: If you think you have a superstar, you've got to
Speaker 2: let him take his lumps early. Because the easiest time
Speaker 2: to win a championship in the NFL is if you
Speaker 2: have the star quarterback who's paid on the rookie scale,
Speaker 2: So having him sit and sit and sit like you
Speaker 2: by the time he plays like let's let's say Jordan
Speaker 2: Love ends up being awesome, Well, he's immediately gonna be
Speaker 2: paid like he's awesome, so it's it's just in a
Speaker 2: tougher spot. I thought Richardson looked pretty damn good all
Speaker 2: things considered. Uh, and he's the guy. Of these three quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: I like him the most because of the upside, and
Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna look the worst initially because
Speaker 2: he had.
Speaker 3: He was the rawest I thought, Oh.
Speaker 2: I thought he looked pretty good and you just got
Speaker 2: to let these guys take their lumps. What's your follow up?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So, how wild is it to throw your quarterbacks
Speaker 3: first touchdown ball into the stands? How do you feel
Speaker 3: about that?
Speaker 2: Man? So? Who did it? I was watching the game?
Speaker 3: Was it the Hayden Hurst did Hayden Hayden?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, you got it.
Speaker 2: You got it right for Bryce Young's first touchdown pass? Now,
Speaker 2: I think they got it back from the fan. But
Speaker 2: that's a gaff by him. That is just like a
Speaker 2: wild gaff by him.
Speaker 3: And probably the moment, you know, probably wouldn't think.
Speaker 2: You know, but you know, it's a rookie, the number
Speaker 2: one pick. You It's not like this is all.
Speaker 3: The I think if a rookie did that to a rookie,
Speaker 3: it'd be a lot different than like, I feel like,
Speaker 3: you you know what's going on. You should have the
Speaker 3: mind to give the ball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel like a veteran Hayden Hurst knows
Speaker 2: this is a rookie quarterback. This is I don't know,
Speaker 2: this is bad job by but I think they got
Speaker 2: the ball back all right?
Speaker 3: Next, my guy, you aren't a brod party fan yet,
Speaker 3: but the guy has never lost, never lost a start
Speaker 3: in the NFL, except when he was injured in the
Speaker 3: NFC Championship. Factor overreact party is a top ten quarterback.
Speaker 2: Stop it?
Speaker 3: Okay, nobody acts.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, all right, So hold up, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Let's do the exercise for everyone going crazy. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: name quarterbacks demonse, and you tell me if you think
Speaker 2: Perty's better. Okay, you ready, Let's do it. Mahomes No,
Speaker 2: Trevor no, Tua, Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott arguably wait,
Speaker 2: arguably on, Joe Burrow. Stop it, let's get going. Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3: Okay, fair, sure he's not.
Speaker 2: Jo Shallon No, but you know what, Matt hold on,
Speaker 2: hold on, hold on, hold on, We're not done. Matt Stafford, Yes, okay, fine,
Speaker 2: I'll give you him. That's fine. Lamar Jackson No, Justin Herbert.
Speaker 3: No, Jared Goff, yes, give it. So what are their
Speaker 3: forty nine ers have to What does brock Perty have
Speaker 3: to do with the forty nine ers to convince you
Speaker 3: that he's good? Do they have to be three and oh?
Speaker 3: And then we can revisit this if they're three and
Speaker 3: zero in party's deally. Is he then a top ten quarterback?
Speaker 3: What more does he have to do? Man, the guy
Speaker 3: hasn't lost the game when his elbow wasn't deemed up.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you I don't know what other
Speaker 3: stance do you expect me to have right now?
Speaker 2: Wins are not a quarter A quarterback stat gotcha their
Speaker 2: team stats. I cannot believe that. Everyone, and I'm not
Speaker 2: necessarily talking about you here, but everyone that was like
Speaker 2: Jimmy g he's a winner, He's just special something to him.
Speaker 2: He gets replaced.
Speaker 4: By the last pick of the draft.
Speaker 2: The team doesn't miss a beat, and instead of everyone acknowledging, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's Christian McCaffery, Deebo, Samuel George Kittle, Brandon Ayuk, Kyle
Speaker 2: Shannan's scheme, everyone's like, oh, this guy must be awesome too,
Speaker 2: Like they literally dropped in mister irrelevant, didn't miss a beat,
Speaker 2: and everyone, instead of being like, Oh, it's the system
Speaker 2: and the talent. A team that has led the league
Speaker 2: in yards after catch for five straight years, everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 2: they just found another gym. I just don't buy it.
Speaker 3: You know, what is a quarterbacks that touchdowns? To picks.
Speaker 3: I don't know what his are exactly right now, but
Speaker 3: if you can bind, yeah, if you can buy in
Speaker 3: this last game with last year in a hole, I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure that ratio is pretty high. And I'm better
Speaker 3: than Jimmy was demon day.
Speaker 2: It's fifteen to four and his pass ratings one o eight.
Speaker 3: He also is great, much better than Jimmy Jers.
Speaker 2: I understand all that you are and if you add in,
Speaker 2: I'll even give you a helpier if you add in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. He has eighteen touchdowns and four picks and
Speaker 2: a one to eight rating. He's been excellent.
Speaker 3: I don't doesn't sound so irrelevant to me, Matt Will.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that will sustain. So we'll see. We'll
Speaker 2: just see go ahead.
Speaker 3: All right. Baker Mayfield's two touchdowns led the Bucks to
Speaker 3: huge upset over the Vikings fact overreact. Time to sell
Speaker 3: high on your Baker's stock.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a huge overreact. Why would I sell? Do
Speaker 2: you know? You know who they got coming this week?
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears oh two and oh coming right down the
Speaker 2: mountain for my guys, Baker. Now the next week they
Speaker 2: have the Eagles. So if we were gonna sell we
Speaker 2: maybe do it before the Eagles game, but we're certainly
Speaker 2: not doing it right now, not when they're about to
Speaker 2: get the home opener and get to two and oh
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: Next, all right? Many thought, many thought the Rams would
Speaker 3: be in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes, but they embarrassed the
Speaker 3: Seahawks even without Cooper cup factor. Overreact the Rams are
Speaker 3: a wild card team.
Speaker 2: That's a massive overreaction the Sea Listen. I need to
Speaker 2: see more. I don't think they don't tell anythink they
Speaker 2: have too many young players, but that was one of
Speaker 2: the most shocking results of the weekend. I will admit
Speaker 2: that I'm high on the Seahawks and think the Rams
Speaker 2: are gonna be terrible. And that wasn't a flukey win.
Speaker 2: Rams kick their ass. I mean they deserve credit for it.
Speaker 2: The Rams absolutely kicked their ass. All right, we gotta
Speaker 2: take a quick break, come back answer some of your
Speaker 2: check questions before we leave. What's Right? This episode of

Speaker 2: seventy six, Let's get to some of the listener questions. Uh,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I realize actually now that I remember, Demonza
Speaker 2: usually reads these, but I've been going through them now
Speaker 2: so all because you haven't been here so we'll get
Speaker 2: in a flow on this. I want to start with this.
Speaker 2: Zach Hatter says, Nick's already over one of locks of
Speaker 2: the week. He's in mid season four. I went two
Speaker 2: and three on the Pick show. What is so devastating
Speaker 2: about that is I do this pic show on Thursday,
Speaker 2: and then Friday on TV I do three picks. So
Speaker 2: I picked my three favorite ones from this show, and
Speaker 2: instead of doing five, I do three. I went again,
Speaker 2: I went two and three on this show. Demonse, what
Speaker 2: do you think?
Speaker 3: I went on two and three?
Speaker 2: Oh and three? I picked the three losers. Now what's
Speaker 2: also true? And we'll talk about this more. On Thursday's
Speaker 2: gambling show, Demase's teaser didn't win because of the one
Speaker 2: leg I told him not to place. That was the
Speaker 2: one leg I told you, not.
Speaker 3: What, And honestly, what overshadowed that was me saying that
Speaker 3: the Raiders are We're going to beat the Broncos. I
Speaker 3: didn't say that they were exactly. And what also helped
Speaker 3: with that is that I also admitted that when I
Speaker 3: placed a teaser that that was the one leg that
Speaker 3: I was worry about. I'm sorry if you guys followed
Speaker 3: me on that but I think there was enough evidence
Speaker 3: in that teaser to you know, still trail me, don't
Speaker 3: count me out. We got some more coming.
Speaker 2: I cut you out. We'll talk about it more on Thursday.
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing, man, maze, because I went
Speaker 2: two and three and my bets have viig your teasers.
Speaker 2: You're just you know, you getting plus money. You're actually
Speaker 2: I'm minus one point three units and you're just minus
Speaker 2: one unit. So while we both lost money, you are
Speaker 2: actually ahead in the competitian the real OC says, why
Speaker 2: do you and other sports media always leave out Stafford
Speaker 2: when talking about top quarterbacks? You just leave Mountain Clue
Speaker 2: players like Dak and Trevor Lawrence. Well, listen, I Stafford.
Speaker 2: I think for most people was ahead of Dak until
Speaker 2: he suffered the elbow injury last year, and then people
Speaker 2: were very concerned about what he was gonna look like
Speaker 2: this year. I mean, that's why Trevor Trevor, Trevor might
Speaker 2: be the second best quarterback in the entire league. Guys,
Speaker 2: stop comparing people to Trevor, please, and you can roll
Speaker 2: your eyes again. You're gonna say confidently with your chest
Speaker 2: this morning, Joe Burrow's better than Trevor threw the ball
Speaker 2: thirty times, got eighty more yards than I did. I
Speaker 2: threw the ball zero times.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, But by that logic, then brock Party is
Speaker 3: better than Joe Burrow. But continue, my bad.
Speaker 2: That is where pedigree and everything matters. Brock Party was
Speaker 2: the last player of the draft. Trevor Lawrence was the
Speaker 2: number one pick, and you would have traded five first
Speaker 2: rounders for him. Pedigree matters.
Speaker 3: I only listen to mainstream music. Hey man, there's some
Speaker 3: underground stuff. Man, there's some there's some new things can
Speaker 3: be done that weren't done before. I know, it's unexpected
Speaker 3: that this guy that went undrafted or last pick in
Speaker 3: the draft is actually a really good quarterback. It's hard
Speaker 3: to believe. But hey man, watch game four or fives.
Speaker 3: Going to start switching up a little bit.
Speaker 2: No, you're listen. It might be the case. And you're right.
Speaker 2: The next great musician might right now be playing in
Speaker 2: a dingy bar somewhere in Toledo. But I'll go ahead
Speaker 2: and say, I think the person who's been selling out
Speaker 2: arenas for the last five years has higher upside. That's all. Also,
Speaker 2: the producers gassed him ons up, telling him how Grady
Speaker 2: had on the pretty conversation. He's now shoehorning it into
Speaker 2: this Matt Stafford question. Next, Christian Laso says, is there
Speaker 2: anything a foreign IROs quarterback and dude impressure we always
Speaker 2: attributed to Kyle's system, who's won zero Super Bowls.
Speaker 6: Hey guys, I I was vindicated entirely on Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 2: We'll see if I'm vindicated on bruck Party. Let's just
Speaker 2: wait and see. D eight said, sorry, no problem is
Speaker 2: part of the Brown Rogers injuries on turf field. Should
Speaker 2: the NFL begin out long turf That's gonna be a
Speaker 2: big topic today. I don't think it helped. I don't
Speaker 2: know that it was the entire reason for the injury.
Speaker 2: Grass fields are better. Players hate the artificial turf. I
Speaker 2: don't think the NFL's outlawing it. I also don't know
Speaker 2: enough about the mechanics of injuries to give a hot
Speaker 2: take on that. Adrian says they can't afford cat food
Speaker 2: thanks to Nick's picks next week. Next week, Adrian, cat's
Speaker 2: gonna be eaten fresh salmon. Just wait, you just wait
Speaker 2: until we give you these three picks this week. Joel
Speaker 2: Penfield says, how long is Russell Wilson have left the
Speaker 2: Broncos starter. Russell Wilson's not the reason they lost that game.
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson wasn't good, but he wasn't terrible. Sean Payton
Speaker 2: surprise on side kick, three, bad fourth down decisions, ten
Speaker 2: penalties looked a whole like the Nat Hackett team. Tell
Speaker 2: you that much. All right, Demons started slow today, really
Speaker 2: picked up into the show went on and you were outstanding.
Speaker 2: It was a great show, really a great show.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you are tying yourself to the Brock
Speaker 2: party bandwagon, as as Broussard Wilds plant that flag man?
Speaker 2: What did I say? I got three types of takes
Speaker 2: undeniably correct, immediately, undeniably correct, eventually and laughably incorrect. You
Speaker 2: think this is gonna be a bucket three? I'm very
Speaker 2: confident it's gonna be bucket two. I guess we'll find
Speaker 2: out together. Gambling show where de Moonday and I try
Speaker 2: to actually win some bets Thursday. Talk to you then.
Speaker 2: What's right
