Speaker 2: Welcome in What Driving Nick Wright Episode two sixty eight.

10
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: Apologies for the late start. Today is doing a hit

11
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: with my friend Dan Patrick. A lot to do today

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: and we're already late, so let's get right to what

13
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: missed the cut. NBA preseason starts tomorrow. I gotta admit

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: I didn't know that I could lose a big preseason future.

15
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: Here The Liberty up two zero on the Las Vegas Aces.

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: I had the Aces before the year to win the title.

17
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: As I've said before, I'm big on the teams with

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: potential goats three peating this year. The Aces Asia Wilson

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: check all those boxes, but the Liberty took the first

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: two in New York. If there is a game five

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: in New York, I'll go to it, but the Aces

22
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: need to take care of business the next two in

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: Vegas and the Royals. The Royals advance to the Alds.

24
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: Here's what you know, what Kansas City does demanse in

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four end with Baltimore's sports team seasons. That's

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: what we do. We go to Baltimore and take the

27
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: Ravens out. We go to Baltimore and take the Orioles

28
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: out one nothing, two to one. Just absolutely brilliant pitching, defensive,

29
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: and managerial performance along with Bobby Bleepin' baseball Bobby Witt Junior,

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: first playoff game ever game winning RBI single, second playoff

31
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: game ever game winning RBI single. And So I am

32
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: man Monday night. Monday night in New York. So Saturday night,

33
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: I have birthday plans, and we're not gonna spend a

34
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: lot of time talking about Today's my fortieth birthday, so

35
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: it's kind of a big one. So your mom is

36
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: playing stuff for me on Saturday. So Saturday, I've dinner

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: plans with your mom and sisters and stuff. That's when

38
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 2: the first game is Royals Yankees in New York Monday.

39
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 2: Game two is up against Chief Saints on Monday Night football.

40
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: But I'm going to the game, and I can't reveal

41
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: it yet because I'll let him reveal it. But I

42
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: might have a special guest with me at that game,

43
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: special Kansas City based guest that'd become into New York

44
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: for the game. It's obviously no Chief person because they'll

45
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: be playing on Monday night football, but that should be great.

46
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, the great people at Blue Duck said

47
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 2: they had a birthday present for me. It's from the

48
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: MLB shop. Is it what I hoped it was? Oh,

49
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: it's a Bobby Witt jersey, and I might break my Listen,

50
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: grown men are not supposed to wear jerseys. However, a

51
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 2: baseball jersey to a baseball playoff game you can do.

52
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: I wore. Now here's one other thing before I get

53
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: to the show. So I went to Royals Yankees a

54
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: month ago wearing my Bo Jackson jersey, standing and clapping

55
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: and excited for the Royals, and the Yankee fans were

56
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: nice because they're the Royals. No one really cares it's

57
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: a regular season game. The Yankees were cruising. This is

58
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: gonna be a different environment game two playoffs. Yankees looking

59
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: at it as the Orioles who gave them trouble this

60
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: year are already out the Astros, who have given them

61
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: trouble year after year after year. By the way the Astros,

62
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: this year is the first year to Monsey, the Astros

63
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: didn't make at least to the Alcs. Since the Obama administration.

64
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: They had made eight years in a row. They had

65
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: maybe nine years. I don't know if it's eight or not.

66
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, they had made at least the Alcs.

67
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: But they're out thanks to the red hot Detroit Tigers.

68
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: So I'm going Monday night, and I know your sisters

69
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: want to go as well. I don't know, man, going

70
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: into an opposing team stadium in the playoffs loudly rooting

71
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: for the road team can be can be a tricky

72
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: spot contro but I'm excited for it.

73
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: I didn't know you were in Jerseys as a grown up.

74
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: It's kind of my own rule. I think it's a

75
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: little silly. I baseball is the hockey sweaters are different

76
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: because they're just cool and they're sweaters. Football and basketball

77
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: jerseys are definitively no. So I almost put hockey sweaters

78
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: as like that's like yes, that is.

79
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: Like just like fresh.

80
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, football and basketball jerseys, once you turn thirty, you

81
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: can't wear them unless you're on the team. Like you're okay,

82
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: I mean you're when. I shouldn't have said adult. I

83
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: just mean like older, you know what I mean, in

84
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: your twenties, you can. You can do it, especially you

85
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: live in California. Go to the beach where justin NBA Jersey.

86
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: I think that's totally legit. Baseball jerseys are right on

87
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: the borderline. I don't know, but I'm excited. And again, listen, man,

88
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: I'm a big whenever the Royals are good. I follow

89
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: baseball all year. I got the once the Royals started

90
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: this year two in one and I bought MLB extra

91
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: innings and I've watched seventy five games this year. I

92
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: hadn't watched the Soils in years. I was like, Bobby, wait,

93
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: I was like, they might be good. Let's do it,

94
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: and if they ever fall off, I'll go away. But

95
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: I'm into it, all right, Let's get to the NFL.

96
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: All right. So DeVante Adams is on the move.

97
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 4: You said on your show yesterday that he'd instantly make

98
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: any thirty, any team in the NFL better instantly. But

99
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 4: for the most part, big name WHI our receiver trades

100
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: haven't been to look what they look like on paper, and.

101
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: They don't end up working out.

102
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: But other teams in the running, would trading for Adams

103
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: lead to dethrowning Kansas City?

104
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: And if not, why would they do so?

105
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: So listen, I there's one team that's in the mix

106
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: for DeVante that I do think would change up the

107
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: math a bit. I would still say the Chiefs are

108
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: the favorite. But if the Bills trade for DeVante Adams,

109
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: that's a needle mover. So here's the here's the Let's

110
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: talk about the three best teams in the AFC de

111
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 2: demanse and no disrespect to the Bengals, but their defense

112
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: is dreadful. And no disrespect to the Texans. But I

113
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: just they haven't quite I know, they're three and one,

114
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: they haven't quite clicked the way I thought they could

115
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: coming into the year. So the three best teams are

116
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, the Bills, and the Ravens. Those three teams,

117
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: and just follow me down this path. Who has the

118
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: best quarterback, Kansas City, who adds the best coach Kansas City,

119
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: who has the best defense, Kansas City, Who even has

120
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: the best kicker, Kansas City. So how are either one

121
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: of those teams going to beat the Chiefs in a

122
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: high leverage spot. Well, listen the bounce of the ball randomness,

123
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: but you don't really want to, you know, rely on that.

124
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: The Ravens decided, Oh, okay, we're gonna have the most

125
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: devastating rushing attack in the NFL in the last decade.

126
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna bring in Derrick Henry. We're gonna play bully ball.

127
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: We have this dominant rushing quarterback. And it's that's the

128
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: curveball we're gonna throw at a team who has the

129
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: better quarterback, the better coach, the better defense. We'll see

130
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: if it works out, but it's a strategy right now.

131
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: The Bills don't have that pitch to throw. If they

132
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: had Davante Adams, then it's like, okay, we have the

133
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: more dynamic, game changing weapon on the outside. So for

134
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: the Bills, I would be hitting up the Raiders and saying, hey,

135
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: we know it's a one year rental, but we're a

136
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: little better this year than we thought we were gonna

137
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: be we cleaned up our capuh, So if you got

138
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: and Davante's not gonna be on the team next year,

139
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: so let's go for it. Because I do think the

140
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: Bills are going to struggle against some of the better

141
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: defenses in football because they don't have those elite weapons

142
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: on the outside. And as good as Josh Allen is,

143
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: he's not Patrick Mahomes, and he's not going to be

144
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 2: able to do what Mahomes did last year. And by

145
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: the way, part of what Mahomes did last year involved

146
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: having a top three defense in football, and the Bills

147
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: aren't going to have a top three defense in football.

148
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: Like one of the stories of Derrick Henry's eighty seven

149
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: yard touchdown run Demonsey was how fast he is. The

150
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: other story was how slow the Bills secondary was. Those

151
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: guys were looked like And I know Dereck Henry is

152
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: a freak and is fast, but those guys had the

153
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: angle they were played, they should have been able to

154
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: at least the head start all of it, right, And

155
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: I mean Damar Hamlin and others looked like they were

156
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: running in mud. And so I don't think the Bills

157
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 2: have this elite defense. So yeah, Davante Adams to be

158
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: a lot with them. I don't understand why. I get

159
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: why there's the Davante Jets connection because of Aaron Rodgers.

160
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: I mean that's obvious. I don't understand why people are

161
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: as optimistic as they appear to be that that's that

162
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: would fix the Jets. The Jets list of issues, their

163
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: five biggest issues, you know, wide receiver depth is not

164
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: one of them. So I just I get why Aaron

165
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: would want him. I get why. I kind of get

166
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: why DeVante would want it, But if I were Davante,

167
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: I would way prefer Buffalo or Kansas City.

168
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: It's like the same things I'm going to play with

169
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers.

170
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: It's like once to go play with my buddy ends

171
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: up not working out, you know.

172
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: With him to go play with Derek Carr.

173
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like he did the same thing when he left

174
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 4: the Green Bay the first time and then Derek Carr.

175
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. And by the way, the two teams that reportedly

176
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: wants to go to are the Jets or the Saints. Yeah,

177
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 2: I mean DeVante Adams loves Derek Carr. Bro Yeah, I

178
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: mean he loves Derek Carr like he seems like a

179
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: great friend and loves Derek Carr. All right, let's move

180
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: on to the Chiefs and Davante and all that stuff.

181
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: So, yeah, you said the Chiefs won't know what Rashid

182
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: Rice's status is until Monday, and that they shouldn't make

183
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: any drastic moves until they know about that. Las Vegas

184
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 4: likely wouldn't play with trade with the Chiefs because of

185
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: their arrival. Of there's been talks of Tyreek coming back.

186
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: He's been flirting around, kind of teasing the fans on Twitter.

187
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: Were going to show a few tweets he said, woke

188
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 4: up to trade yesterday?

189
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he wrote, he wrote, woke up to trade

190
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: news exciting. By the way, I know it says nine

191
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: to thirty nine am, but that's because our producers are

192
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: on the West coast. He tweeted this at twelve thirty

193
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: nine PM, in the middle of the afternoon on the

194
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: East coast, which is where he is, so he didn't

195
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: wake up to this, so that didn't make sense. He

196
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,119
Speaker 2: then tweeted some SpongeBob memes that I don't totally understand.

197
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know what that means.

198
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: To be honest with you about me like type of

199
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: thing is what I say?

200
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: Oh that's what it means. Okay, yeah, he's quote tweeting.

201
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: Joe Shadow wrote, Tyreek Hill asked about Kansas City, says

202
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: you know, and says he loves where he is, and

203
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: then he writes, I love trolling you nutcases. Okay, that's fine,

204
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: all right. So there's the Tyreek stuff, but go ahead.

205
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 4: Right, So Tyreek's talking about going or not talking about

206
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 4: going over there, but there's talks of him going over there.

207
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: But why would anybody trade with Kansas City and risk

208
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 4: looking looking foolish after him?

209
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: So here here's where teams across sports need to do

210
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: a better job of separating emotion from logic. And I

211
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: don't know. Listen, the Chiefs right now can't afford Deavante

212
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 2: Adams unless the Raiders pay more of his salary. And

213
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 2: like I said, I don't think they're gonna make a

214
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: drastic move until they get the prognosis on Rashid, which

215
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: I don't think is going to be coming for a

216
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: few days. But from a purely game theory perspective, this

217
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: idea that you don't want to trade with your divisional

218
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: rival if you are on different timelines Not only should

219
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: them being your divisional rival not be a deterrent, you should,

220
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: more than anything seek out your divisional rival because you

221
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: should want to trade with them. So let me explain

222
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: why everybody understands Davante is a likely one year rental

223
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: for if the Chiefs were to trade for him, it

224
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: would be for this year and this year only. Same

225
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: with if the Bills were to trade for him most likely,

226
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: or the Jets. If you're the Raiders and you're trading

227
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams and starting Gardner, Minshew or aid and o'connolic quarterback,

228
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 2: you know definitively this year you are not contending, So

229
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: trading DeVante. What Davante adds to the Chiefs this year

230
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: has no impact on you whatsoever. But by trading him

231
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs, you then deplete them your rival, of

232
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: draft resources that you get to use, and they are

233
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: slightly weakened when you are ready to compete with them.

234
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: So that makes trading with your divisional rival, if you

235
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: guys are on different timelines as far as the player

236
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: you're trading, more attractive than trading with a cross conference

237
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: team or someone because you're taking away resources for the future,

238
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: which is when you would be competing with them. But

239
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: that's it's not a Raiders thing that is across sports.

240
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: You hear this. Don't want to trade them within the conference,

241
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: don't want to trade them to a right, it's just

242
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: letting emotions get in the way of smart decision making.

243
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: And I just think it's I think it's silly. Now.

244
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: I do not think the Chiefs are gonna trade for

245
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: Devonte Adams. I think that DeVonta Adams probably is going

246
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: to end up on the Jets. I think that's likely

247
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: where this is going. I would not rule out Pittsburgh.

248
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: We know Pittsburgh wanted Brandon Ayuk. We also know that

249
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh right now is probably having a slightly better season

250
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: than they anticipated going into the year with fields playing better.

251
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: So I would not rule them out. And there has

252
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: been sneaky forty nine er buzz. I'm gonna throw another

253
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: team out there at you. That forty nine er buzz

254
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: would probably be like Devonte for Deba something like that,

255
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: because they think they're gonna have to move off Debo

256
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: in the offseason anyway.

257
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: And so so I was like, what, yeah.

258
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: Right now, I mean, they've got plenty of wide receivers

259
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw a different one for one at you

260
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: that no one's talking about and that I don't think

261
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: is going to happen. But you can make a really

262
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: I think smart case for it. If Cincinnati is convinced,

263
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: as they should be, that T Higgins is gone after

264
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: this year, that T Higgins is essentially a rental Davante

265
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: for T Higgins is interesting. If the Raiders are like, okay,

266
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: we will trade for Tea and give him an extension

267
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: so we're not gonna have to come He's not going

268
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: to be, you know, hit the open market. We have

269
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: our wide receiver position with a young guy answered and

270
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: if you're the Bengals, it's okay. Tea is good, Davante

271
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: is great, and now we have Davante and Jamar Chase

272
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: on the outside every week when we're gonna have to

273
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: be an offense only team. I find that one as

274
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 2: an interesting idea that I came up with, but I

275
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: don't think I don't think it's realistic, so that I

276
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: think DeVante is going into being traded and let's not

277
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: have it lost in this. That the reason this went from,

278
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: you know, kind of a little bit of smoke and

279
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 2: something that could blow up into a blazing inferno. Is

280
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: because the head coach of an NFL team sub liked

281
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: on Instagram his star wide receiver. This all got really

282
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: rolling because Antonio Pierce liked an Instagram post about DeVante

283
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: Adams leaving the Raiders. It's one of the most childish,

284
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: ridiculous things I've ever seen come to the to pro sports.

285
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: When the head coach of the team like the post

286
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: and it was seemingly the final straw for DeVante Adams,

287
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: that's an outrage an.

288
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: Beside my brewing.

289
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 4: Before he liked the post, I think there was some

290
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 4: events that, like, I don't know, I saw him going

291
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 4: a presser and he's talking about some of our players made.

292
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 2: Making business decisions no right about he probably want to

293
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: get out of before. Yes, and DeVante might have even

294
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: requested a trade privately before he did that. I don't care.

295
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: You are still the head coach of an NFL team

296
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: doing what a guy like this is. This is what

297
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: young NBA guys do when they want to be traded,

298
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: or it's what Amari Cooper did when they were talking

299
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: about him being traded to the Niners and he was like,

300
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: wouldn't you know wouldn't be bad for me, he wrote

301
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 2: on Instagram. You cannot, as the head of an organization,

302
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: be sending messages to your team via social media likes.

303
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: It's insane that it happened.

304
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: Speaking of the second year of being a head coach,

305
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: it's like growing pains.

306
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, growing pains. It's also another example, don't hire

307
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: the interim head coach. The The other thing that I

308
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: will say is this, if the Chiefs get bad Rashi

309
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: Rice News, Amari Cooper is the name I would watch for.

310
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper is making the minimum this year because they

311
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: redid the deal, the brown stink. Amari Cooper's the name

312
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: i'd watch for. All right, let's let's talk Caleb Demonse.

313
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 4: Caleb has had a people call a rocky start, but

314
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 4: he's got a game coming up against Carolina, who's got

315
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 4: the worst defense in the NFL right now, So this

316
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: feels like it should be a Caleb breakout game.

317
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: Will it be a Caleb breakout game?

318
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 4: Or is it going to be the Bears should have

319
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 4: taken Daniels takes get louder.

320
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: Okay, well, listen, Yeah, if Caleb plays poorly, that's gonna

321
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: be a big problem because You're right about Carolina's defense,

322
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: but Caleb has steadily gotten better every week. His completion

323
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: percentage has gone up, his passer rating has gone up.

324
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: He has looked more comfortable each and every week. For

325
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: Caleb first ten quarters of the season versus last six

326
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: quarters of the season, you see a significant jump around

327
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: halftime of last week's game, not last week's two weeks

328
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: ago game. Pardon me, what was that game? Who did

329
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 2: they lose to two weeks ago? When he threw this

330
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: the Bears played, I'll pull it right now. I can't

331
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: oh the Colts the when Caleb threw the three touchdowns,

332
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: but also add the three turnovers and three hundred and

333
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: fifty yards maybe through two touchdowns. Whatever it was. Halftime

334
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: of that game, he started to look more like a pro.

335
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: And then last week against the Rams he looked good.

336
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 2: But he does need to play well and man if so.

337
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: Here is the thing about how quickly narratives can shift.

338
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: So I believe the Bears are going to win at

339
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: home against the Panthers, and you have to believe that

340
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: they're going even though it's in London, that they're going

341
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: to be able to beat the Jaguars in London. In

342
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: a week who look just totally They look like the

343
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: worst team in football. That would put them Demond's at

344
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: four and two. The Washington Commanders this week have the Browns.

345
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: Then they're at the Ravens. They're three and one. I

346
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: think them being four and two after the next couple

347
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 2: weeks is pretty realistic, right. You beat the Browns, lose

348
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: to the Ravens. That next game then is with both

349
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: teams potentially sitting at four and two in Washington against

350
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears and both guys fourign

351
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: I think both guys will be four and two. Caleb

352
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: will be on a little three game winning streak, Jayden

353
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: coming off a loss to the Ravens, and we can

354
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: see how narratives start to shift and change. Now, maybe listen,

355
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 2: maybe Jayden just Jayden right now, I think is the

356
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: league MVP. So I'm not under selling what he's doing.

357
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 2: I know people are talking Darnold right now. Demon's if

358
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: there was a ballot, I think Jayden should be number one.

359
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: The defense is dreadful. He's playing perfect football week after week,

360
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 2: So I'm not taking anything away from him. I'm just saying,

361
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: in three weeks time, the whole thing could be turned

362
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: on a tat they're both four and two going into

363
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: that game. That game's gonna be huge, buried at one o'clock.

364
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: It's a one o'clock CBS game. That thing needs to

365
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 2: get flexed, man, like that is I mean Jayden Caleb? Now, now, now,

366
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: if the Bears looked, you know, maybe the Bears lose

367
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: to the Panthers and the Jags and then it's not

368
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: a big game. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

369
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: And so I think Caleb's showing a little steady progression

370
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: is all we could ask for. Jaden is you know

371
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 2: Jaden again, He's the MVP of the league for the

372
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: first four weeks of the year. It's truly unbelievable. All right,

373
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 2: let's take quick break. Come back to our Week five

374
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: gambling show. Demons had a winning week. I did not,

375
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 2: and I got something you guys can win as well.

376
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 2: If you don't follow me on Twitter, I'll tell you

377
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: about it next.

378
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: We'll try.

379
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in What's right with Nick? Right?

380
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: Just quick note, I put this on Twitter yesterday. I

381
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: had told you guys that I am in November going

382
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: to Vegas to play Gronk and the Poker Stars Big

383
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: Game on Tour that we talked about that a few

384
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: weeks ago. As part of that, Poker Stars gave me

385
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: a gold pass, which is it's worth like I want to.

386
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 2: I don't have like the full legal eese here, but

387
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: it's you, it's and it's worth like a round ten

388
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: grand and it's you get an entry into the North

389
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 2: American Poker Tour main event in Las Vegas, Flight Hotel,

390
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: spending money, all this stuff, and they told me I

391
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: can give it away however I want, just as long

392
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: as whoever I give it to is at least twenty one,

393
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 2: lives in the US and is a poker player. So

394
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: I put on social media that submit to me your

395
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: best bad beat stories in poker. I'm gonna have someone

396
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 2: pick their ten to fifteen favorite ones submitted. Then I'm

397
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: gonna draw names out of the hat and so live

398
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 2: on IG in a week. That's the fairest way to

399
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 2: do it. I think I don't really know the best

400
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: way to do it. I've never done one of these giveaways,

401
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: but that's what I'm doing. So if you want the

402
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 2: full details on that, all of it, I put it

403
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 2: on Twitter and Instagram, so you guys can check it

404
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: out there, all right. Demandi with the producers did to

405
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: me today because it was really a it was it

406
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: was unintentionally cruel. So when I opened up the rundown,

407
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: it said Nick's Picks Recap Week four, three and two,

408
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: season record ten nine and one, and I'm like, really,

409
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: I thought I went too and three last week, and

410
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: I'm looking and I'm looking, and Atlanta did win the game.

411
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: I picked them to win, but they won by two

412
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: and I was laying two and a half. So I

413
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 2: had to in the rundown. We can put the record

414
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: up there. In the rundown, I had to do something

415
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 2: very sad, which is change that Atlanta pick from highlighted

416
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: green to highlighted red. And it was just devastating. I'm

417
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: going to tell you right now, as odd as this sounds,

418
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: having gone two and three, I felt really locked in

419
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: on these picks. Last week, Dallas, the best kicker in

420
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: the world who hasn't missed a kick in his life,

421
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: misses a kick and so they win by five instead

422
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: of eight. That's a loss. Cincinnati minus four at Carolina,

423
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: they win by ten. Tampa Bay plus two against Philly

424
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: they blow them out. Atlanta minus two and a half

425
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: against New Orleans, that's probably the shakiest one and it

426
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: did lose. And the Rams plus three at Chicago. That

427
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: felt throughout the game. I said on this showing on

428
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: TV that a one or two point Chicago win is

429
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 2: what we're looking for. And there was a lot of

430
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: time in that game where it looked like it was

431
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: going to be exactly that, where the Bears were up six.

432
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 2: So it's like, okay, Rams scored the go ahead touchdown,

433
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: Bears kick a field goal and with the Ram but

434
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: Chicago ends up, you know, beating them by six. So

435
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: I don't feel bad about that two and three. Sometimes

436
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: you feel bad about a three and two, like, oh

437
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 2: we got lucky. That's not how I feel at all.

438
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: I feel dialed into this season. Now it's once again

439
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: we're just going two and three or three and two

440
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 2: every week. We've had no awful weeks, no great weeks.

441
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: But the great week is coming. The great week is coming.

442
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: This week feels like it's going to be it. We're

443
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 2: starting in London, Demons go ahead.

444
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

445
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 4: So first off, you've got Minnesota minus two and a

446
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 4: half versus the Jets in London.

447
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this one is. And I'm not as big

448
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: of a believer in Minnesota as others, but they have

449
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: the better team, a massive coaching mismatch Kevin O'Connell, Robert

450
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: Salah that well, it's a flight for everybody. Is that

451
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 2: not much longer from Minnesota, you know, to London. So

452
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: but here's the thing. Any added wrinkle, extra rest, neutral site,

453
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: weird day of the week works against the Jets favor

454
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: because they're not a l coach team. Anything that falls

455
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: into the good coaching bucket is going to work against them.

456
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: And Rogers popping up on the injury report and now

457
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 2: dealing with that Brian Flores defense to me, and that

458
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: those blitzes is going to be really tough. And I

459
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: don't know how good the Jets defense is because here's

460
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: you can be like, oh, look at the Jets defensive numbers, Demons,

461
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: it is kind of unfair. But I'm off the top

462
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: of your head, who's the worst quarterback in the league?

463
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: Give me a name worst quarterback in the league right now?

464
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: Jeez, I hold on, just named someone who is name

465
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: Jacob Jacoby Brissett. There's one the Jets played him. Who's

466
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: another who's the funniest quarterback in the league.

467
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is here?

468
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: Oh oh no, I wasn't gonna say Daniel Jones. I'm

469
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: gonna do it. You could make an argument the three

470
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: worst quarterbacks in the league are Will Levis, who is

471
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: the one I thought you were gonna say, Jacoby Brissett,

472
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: and rookie Bo Nicks. Those are the last three quarterbacks

473
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: the Jets have fixed. So everyone's like, oh, the Jets defense,

474
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, gracious, we'll see Levis, Brissette, Nicks. Now

475
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 2: you play Minnesota and Justin Jefferson. I like Minnesota. I'm

476
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: laying less than a field goal. Favorites, by the way,

477
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: in London are thirty and fifteen against the spread.

478
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 4: Next, love that pick. Next, you've got Miami plus one

479
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 4: at New England.

480
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, I understand that Miami without Tua's

481
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: looked awful. However, the Dolphins are in this spot where

482
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: Tua theory radically wants to come back in week seven.

483
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: We'll see if he does, but he wants to. If

484
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: they win this game, they steady themselves going into their

485
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: bye because they have a bye next week. Tyreek just

486
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: recommitted to the team. I know they'll have just lost

487
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips, and I'm not acting like I think Miami's good.

488
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: I am of the belief, however, that the Patriots should

489
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: not be a favorite in any game they play all year.

490
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: And so I'm getting a point with Miami. It's probably

491
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: Jacoby's last start. The Dolphins don't feel like their season

492
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: is over, but they will if they lose this game.

493
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: And so and listen that the Dolphins numbers demons are brutal.

494
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: You realize, even though the Dolphins have a win, they

495
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 2: haven't led in a single game all year because that

496
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: Jacks win kicked a field goal at the gun when

497
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: they were trailing or when they were tied, but Miami

498
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: opened well. Of course, it's two terrible quarterbacks and two

499
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: bad teams, but New England should not be a favorite.

500
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: Miami's got the motivational edge, the best the you have

501
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: Tygreek and Waddle. It's just Miami's going to win this game.

502
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how many games New England's gonna win

503
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: the rest of the year. I like Miami plus the point.

504
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 4: Next Arizona plus seven and a half at San Francisco.

505
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: So just feels like a lot of backdoor cover Kyler potential.

506
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 2: Also even last week then as as well as Purty played,

507
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: and even though the Niners were playing a Patriots team

508
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: that is just god awful. There were moments in that

509
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: game after the Niners jumped up to twenty to nothing

510
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: where it looked like New England might backdoor cover. They

511
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: had it twenty to ten, twenty seven to thirteen. I

512
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: don't think the Niners defense is as good as we're

513
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: used to it being. Fred Warner got banged up and

514
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: hasn't practiced yet. This week. He has been alongside Chris Jones,

515
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: the best defensive players in the league. Underdogs demonse this

516
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: year of six or more are fourteen to two to

517
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: one against the spread. Now, that actually kind of works

518
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: against my next pick, But I just I think that

519
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: this is a thirty one to twenty seven, thirty five

520
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: to twenty eight, high scoring affair that Arizona can be

521
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: that San Francisco can have control over, but Arizona can

522
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: stay within reaching distance and has that backdoor cover potential

523
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: wide open the entire game. So getting the seven and

524
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: a half I love. Also, everyone's gonna tease the Niners

525
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: this week. That's been a death knell for a lot

526
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: of teams. But I don't think Arizona's gonna win out right.

527
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: I like, I'm sorry, So yeah, I don't think Arizona's

528
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: gonna win out right, But I do like the divisional matchup.

529
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: Getting seven and a half San Francisco is still not

530
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: fully hold too many points. I'll take Arizona plus seven

531
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: and a half.

532
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 3: Next.

533
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 4: I actually got Seattle minus six and a half versus

534
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 4: the Giants.

535
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so listen, this goes Like I said, big favorites

536
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: have not been covering at all. However, you know who's

537
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: probably not playing for the Giants, Demanse Melik Neighbors. Yeah,

538
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: their entire offense has existed around Melik Neighbors. Seattle, on

539
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: the other hand, is coming off a tough loss and

540
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: they need the game. Also, the Giants traveling all the

541
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: way out west to Seattle their furthest road trip of

542
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: the year, and I just think this is a game

543
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: that Seattle is going to score at least twenty seven.

544
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: I don't think the Giants without Neighbors can get to twenty.

545
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,959
Speaker 2: I love how Gino's played this year. I love their

546
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: wide receiver weapons. Now the Giants d line can absolutely

547
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: present problems for that Seattle interior of their offensive line.

548
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: But I don't see how the Giants move the ball

549
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: without neighbors. All swallow the six and a half and

550
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 2: take Seattle and also seattle to me if I were

551
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 2: to do a teaser Seattle to me is a fun

552
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 2: teaser leg this week? All right, last one?

553
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: Uh, you've got Kansas City minus five and a half

554
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 4: versus New Orleans.

555
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the Chiefs don't cover big spreads. I understand that,

556
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs have been playing very close games. But

557
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: New Orleans offensive line is banged up to a degree

558
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: that I think Chris Jones by himself can absolutely wreck

559
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 2: Derek Carr in the confidence in this game. The Chiefs

560
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: run defense against running backs, not against Lamar, but against

561
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: running backs has been exceptional all year, So that neutralizes

562
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara a bit. And I gotta think, man, that

563
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 2: we are going to see as dialed in of Patrick

564
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: Mahomes as we've seen since the playoffs. He won't say

565
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: this publicly, but Mahomes feels sick about what happened with Rashid,

566
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: and I think it's less honestly about the fact that

567
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: it was Mahomes that dove into his knee and more

568
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 2: that because that's a freak fluke thing. More, he threw

569
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: the pick that set the whole chain of events in motion,

570
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That put us in this spot.

571
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: So I think you're going to see an absolutely locked

572
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 2: in Mahomes. I liked how Kareem Hunt looked last week

573
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: for Kansas City. I also think the extra day will

574
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: be good for Travis Kelcey. I think the Chiefs defense

575
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 2: continues to be the most underrated unit in the NFL,

576
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 2: as it was last year. And while the Chiefs are

577
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: playing close games in two of their three game, two

578
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 2: of their four games they would have covered this spread,

579
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 2: and one they would have missed it by half point,

580
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: they've won by seven, one, five, and seven. I only

581
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: picked the Chiefs once this year. That was against Baltimore

582
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: in Week one. I don't think New Orleans is that good.

583
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: I also think Kansas Kansas City, you're going to have

584
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 2: a locked in Patrick Mahomes. And I think the Andy

585
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 2: Reid Dennis Allen coaching mismatch is massive. The Chiefs laying

586
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: the five and a half is my final pick of

587
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 2: the week, So my five picks this week, We're going

588
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 2: with three favorites, two dogs. Miami minus two and a

589
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: half on a neutral site in London against the Jets.

590
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Minnesota minus two and a half on a

591
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: neutral site against the Jets, Miami plus one in New England,

592
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: Arizona plus seven and a half in San Francisco, Seattle

593
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: minus six and a half against the Giants, and Kansas

594
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: City laying the five and a half against New Orleans.

595
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 2: There it is Demons. Recap your teaser last week, buddy.

596
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all green. I love to see it.

597
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 4: Last week was a two team seven pointer tease Tampa

598
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 4: Bay up to nine. That hit was all the entire

599
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 4: game against Philly, obviously in Kansas City to basically pick

600
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 4: him versus the Chargers. And it was looking a little

601
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 4: sketchy in the beginning with the Kansas City game, but.

602
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I wasn't worried. Jim Nance got the stat wrong,

603
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 2: but he got the spirit of it right. In one

604
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: of the craziest facts in NFL history, what do you

605
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 2: think Mahomes is? Mahomes has played eight games in his

606
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 2: career where the game started and the Chiefs were down

607
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: ten to nothing, So eight times in his career, he

608
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: has started a game down ten to nothing. What do

609
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: you think his record is?

610
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 3: Well, go ahead, No, just gotta eight seven.

611
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 2: Eight nos? Correct eight.

612
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 3: No.

613
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 2: He is also now eighteen and fourteen in games they

614
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: trail by ten at any moment, which is the best

615
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: in NFL history by a mile. But that's insane. Go ahead.

616
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're saying they started like he hit the field

617
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 4: and they were down ten. Oh, or like you're just

618
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 4: saying he was he.

619
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: Was in the game, started ten at some point, yes, okay,

620
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: I'm saying no, not down ten at some point. The

621
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: exact score was ten to nothing. Okay, okay, So in

622
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 2: games they in games they have been down ten at

623
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 2: any point, he is eighteen and fourteen a winning run, right, Okay.

624
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 2: The next best in that situation is Tom Brady, who

625
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: won thirty eight percent of those games. Mahomes wins fifty

626
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: five percent of them, but down ten to zero with

627
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, the Kansady Chiefs are eight.

628
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 3: No.

629
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 2: All right, let's so let's talk your teaser this week.

630
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: What are you looking at?

631
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 4: So this week is a two team seven and a

632
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: half point teaser at minus one sixty three. I'm teasing

633
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 4: Cincinnati up to plus ten from two and a half

634
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 4: against Baltimore, and I'm teasing Indiana up to plus ten

635
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: from two and a half against Jacksonville. Yeah, I think that.

636
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 4: I mean, if they're playing Joe Flacco was gonna be playing.

637
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: I don't think Anthony Richardson is gonna be playing. And

638
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 4: I love that against Jacksonville.

639
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 3: And I don't know.

640
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 4: I could regret fading Baltimore here, but I didn't want

641
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 4: to go Baltimore on. That's not obviously you have to

642
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 4: tease through the zero. Cincinnati, I gotta think can come

643
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 4: within ten points of a division game.

644
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's that's this week's.

645
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: Listen. I don't love seven and a half point teasers

646
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 2: in general because of the juice you.

647
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: Have to lay. Are you talking about you're gonna say

648
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: something about Arizona?

649
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: No, I'm not, I'm not. I'm no, no, No, I'm

650
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: gonna say. This is as good of a seven and

651
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: a half point teaser as you can have, because I

652
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 2: so I give that, I give I give this an a.

653
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: Uh Cincinnati. Their offense has been unbelievable and they're going

654
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: to fight the whole game even if they are getting dominated.

655
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: Baltimore has a propensity to let teams back in it.

656
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 2: So even if you know Baltimore is up seventeen points,

657
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 2: you're not dead. And Cincinnati could win the game. And

658
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville I don't think it's possible for Jacksonville to

659
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 2: blow a team out. I really don't know. And so

660
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: I it's amazing, and so I just and I don't

661
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 2: think Joe Flacco was one hundred percent playing by the

662
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: way I think he might play. I don't think that's

663
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: one hundred percent locked yet. Then Anthony Richardson is out

664
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 2: this week. But regardless, Jacksonville, if they get up big,

665
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 2: they'll let you back in it. And they've just been

666
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 2: playing one score games except for the Bills game all

667
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: year where they got blown out. So I give this

668
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: an A. I think this is a I think this

669
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: is a great teaser. So great job. All right, what's

670
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 2: the offer this week? Uh?

671
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 4: This week, we are celebrating your birthday by betting on

672
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: your favorites. Okay, so we got Mahomes, Baker and Caleb.

673
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah that's a cute. Yeah, I like that one.

674
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, But Mahomes, Baker and Caleb to all throw two

675
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 4: plus touchdowns and Jacksonville to get its first win.

676
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 3: It's air TBD.

677
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 2: Okay, all right is saying the odds are plus fifteen

678
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: twenty five. So here's the deal, guys, take jackson Jacksonville

679
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 2: the deal. Yes, exactly right. Yeah, that's exactly what I

680
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: was gonna say. Jacksonville. They haven't played in London yet.

681
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not betting on them till they play

682
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 2: in London, and I might never bet on him this year.

683
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 2: Pat Caleb and Baker two plus touchdowns. I love it.

684
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: Say whatever plus eighty six, lock it in taking that

685
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 2: birthday off or that's no problem?

686
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:30,640

00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 2: then I'll get out of here.

689
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 3: What's right?

690
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: All right? Welcome back in What's right with Nick?

00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 3: Right?

692
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: All right, demons, Let's get to some listener questions or

693
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: comments before we get out of here.

694
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 3: Lots of people wish you a happy birthday today.

695
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 2: Oh thanks, guys, I appreciate that.

696
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 4: Ep you will feel different at forty Nick. Midlife is

697
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 4: not caring about what other see.

698
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: So I that's one that I have that I achieved early.

699
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: So I'm the I'm I'm actually quite good at that.

700
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: I think it's been I think it's kind of a

701
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: key to doing what I do is not is not

702
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: as seeking out what others are saying about you or

703
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 2: thinking about you. Oddly, that the that that doesn't apply

704
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 2: to people thinking I'm short. I don't know why that

705
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: really bothers me. I feel like a like a m

706
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: and I feel I know how dumb it is that

707
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: it bothers me, And I also know how how insecure

708
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: I look when I'm when I remind people I'm six,

709
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: one like what are you talking about? But I, for

710
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: some reason, that is the one thing that like pierces

711
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: my ability to not care what other people think about me,

712
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 2: and it like it just for some I don't know

713
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 2: why that is the one thing. People think my hair

714
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: is faked, but I don't care. Yeah, oh yeah, maybe

715
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: that's what I need to do. But yeah, the I

716
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 2: think I I think I do a pretty good job

717
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 2: of not worrying about that at all and not And again,

718
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 2: as I've said before, if you if you dislike me,

719
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: or think I'm an idiot, or think I have the

720
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 2: worst takes or whatever it is, you literally have to

721
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 2: find me in person to tell me, or I'll never

722
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: know because I don't read any of the shit and

723
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 2: so like it's just it's a tough like and so

724
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: maybe it is that I do care, but I just

725
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 2: don't see it, like it's just it's not it's not

726
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: a thing for me, all right.

727
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 4: Next uh Eric Eric TD guitar says, Happy birthday, Nick.

728
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 4: Question outside of sports journalism and poker, any big goals

729
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 4: for the next forty years.

730
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about the next forty years. I

731
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 2: have a financial goal for my forties that I'm not

732
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 2: going to share, but there is a set dollar amount

733
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: that I want to make in this next decade. I

734
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 2: have a personal goal for the next year that I've said,

735
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a triathlon. Now, last night I discovered

736
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 2: the existence of do athlons, which because triathlon is swim

737
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 2: bike run, duathlon is run bike run. I'm adding that

738
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 2: to the possible mix because I feel like so much

739
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 2: of the training time that I would need for this

740
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 2: triathlon would be related to the swimming, which is also

741
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: the part of it I'm least interested in, you know

742
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, I want to get back into

743
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 2: running and I love biking and the swimming. Yeah, I

744
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: think I think maybe two. Like I didn't know that

745
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: was a thing, but somebody sent it to me. I'm like, oh,

746
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: a dou athlon. It doesn't feel like a cop out,

747
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 2: but it just feels like there's so much of the

748
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: training for it was gonna be like I gotta find

749
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 2: like a lake that I can swim in and hire

750
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: a swimming coach and I and well, because it's open

751
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: water or river, I don't know, and I'm just not

752
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 2: into the swimming, Like I don't. I love the water,

753
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 2: but I'm just not really into the swimming portion of it.

754
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 2: So there's that, and then a bunch of like family stuff,

755
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 2: but that's that's mostly it.

756
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: All right.

757
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 4: Next uh, Danny Tanner, Jade and Daniels isn't the prince

758
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 4: that was promised.

759
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 3: He's the Lord Commander.

760
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. I like that a lot. That's a

761
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 2: good one because he's on the Commanders I get Lord

762
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 2: Commander of the Night's Watch. That one's pretty good. I

763
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, Danny Tanner, you should probably throw that

764
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: on a T shirt and try to sell it. Like

765
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: I won't take that. I won't say that on TV

766
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: because I don't want anyone to steal it from you,

767
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: but you should try to get you know, mock that

768
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 2: up and sell that on the internet. That's pretty good.

769
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 4: Next if that patented, Will Johnson says, is the NFL

770
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 4: market slowly correcting and high level running backs will be

771
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 4: a sought after commodity.

772
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 2: Again, well, yeah, listen, these markets will always correct, and

773
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 2: so yeah, don't I don't think the running backs are

774
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 2: ever gonna make you know, I don't think running back

775
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 2: will ever be the highest paid non quarterback position. But

776
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: I do think. I was talking about this with Dan

777
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: Patrick today. Something weird happened in the NFL marketplace where

778
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 2: from a salary cap perspective, a number three receiver was

779
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: valued more than Derrick Henry, Like Alan Lazard makes more

780
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: money than Derreck Henry does, Christian Kirk makes more money

781
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 2: than Saquon Barkley does, and nobody bats an eye at it,

782
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 2: so that it has to correct somewhat. There the other

783
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 2: thing that's going to happen, But this is more long term,

784
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 2: and I've talked about it for a long time. The

785
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 2: best high school athletes played running back, and that led

786
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 2: to a glut of excellent running backs where it's like, man,

787
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: this kid had fourteen hundred yards in college and he

788
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 2: went undrafted. There were just too many, you know, not

789
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 2: necessarily awesome, but capable running backs. Now a lot of

790
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: those guys are playing receiver, and you're seeing receiver after receiver.

791
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 2: Every draft class has these amazing receivers. Alabama's got that

792
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: kid who's seventeen years old cooking up Georgia. And so

793
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: what will happen is there will be so many excellent

794
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: receivers this year in the draft. I think ten of

795
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 2: the first thirty nine picks were receivers that will hurt

796
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 2: the receiver market, not for the very very top guys,

797
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 2: but for the mid level guys, and that money will

798
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 2: be spent elsewhere. All right, last one demonse.

799
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 3: Of Halves, Uh, straight up, lying, bro, is not six

800
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 3: to one.

801
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: See nobody believes me. I don't even what'd you say?

802
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 3: Six one? Six one?

803
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, I mean, if if we were to

804
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 2: do like, uh, if I were to go to the

805
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 2: doctor's office and they'd and I they'd take my height

806
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,479
Speaker 2: right now, it's going I'm gonna be taller than six

807
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: feet and under like they're either gonna write on the

808
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 2: sheet six to one or whatever, like six foot and

809
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe they do in centimeters or whatever,

810
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 2: that's what it is. And again I'm now here. Now

811
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm turned for today, I'm defending myself on how tall

812
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 2: I am because it is my single insecurity. And by

813
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 2: the way, it was never an insecurity but my old

814
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 2: TV partner, God love him, Chris Carter. You used to

815
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 2: joke about how I'm five five, And I think because

816
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 2: I it was new on TV, it just stuck in

817
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 2: people's brain and so it's just like that's and then

818
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 2: maybe they think I give it. And again now I

819
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 2: feel bad because it almost feels like I'm judging short guys,

820
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 2: which I'm not. It's a weird spot. It's a weird

821
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: singular insecurity that I have. Like I don't care about

822
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 2: my nose. I don't care about the fact that my

823
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 2: face is crooked. I don't get Yeah, it's a weird thing.

824

Speaker 2: I don't get it. All right, Thank you guys for
