0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in What Driving Nick Wright Episode two sixty eight.

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Apologies for the late start. Today is doing a hit

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 2>with my friend Dan Patrick. A lot to do today

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>and we're already late, so let's get right to what

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>missed the cut. NBA preseason starts tomorrow. I gotta admit

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that I could lose a big preseason future.

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Here The Liberty up two zero on the Las Vegas Aces.

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I had the Aces before the year to win the title.

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>As I've said before, I'm big on the teams with

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>potential goats three peating this year. The Aces Asia Wilson

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 2>check all those boxes, but the Liberty took the first

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>two in New York. If there is a game five

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>in New York, I'll go to it, but the Aces

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 2>need to take care of business the next two in

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Vegas and the Royals. The Royals advance to the Alds.

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Here's what you know, what Kansas City does demanse in

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four end with Baltimore's sports team seasons. That's

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>what we do. We go to Baltimore and take the

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Ravens out. We go to Baltimore and take the Orioles

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>out one nothing, two to one. Just absolutely brilliant pitching, defensive,

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 2>and managerial performance along with Bobby Bleepin' baseball Bobby Witt Junior,

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 2>first playoff game ever game winning RBI single, second playoff

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>game ever game winning RBI single. And So I am

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>man Monday night. Monday night in New York. So Saturday night,

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I have birthday plans, and we're not gonna spend a

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of time talking about Today's my fortieth birthday, so

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a big one. So your mom is

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 2>playing stuff for me on Saturday. So Saturday, I've dinner

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>plans with your mom and sisters and stuff. That's when

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 2>the first game is Royals Yankees in New York Monday.

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Game two is up against Chief Saints on Monday Night football.

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>But I'm going to the game, and I can't reveal

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>it yet because I'll let him reveal it. But I

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>might have a special guest with me at that game,

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 2>special Kansas City based guest that'd become into New York

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>for the game. It's obviously no Chief person because they'll

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 2>be playing on Monday night football, but that should be great.

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of that, the great people at Blue Duck said

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 2>they had a birthday present for me. It's from the

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>MLB shop. Is it what I hoped it was? Oh,

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 2>it's a Bobby Witt jersey, and I might break my Listen,

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>grown men are not supposed to wear jerseys. However, a

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 2>baseball jersey to a baseball playoff game you can do.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I wore. Now here's one other thing before I get

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>to the show. So I went to Royals Yankees a

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>month ago wearing my Bo Jackson jersey, standing and clapping

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and excited for the Royals, and the Yankee fans were

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>nice because they're the Royals. No one really cares it's

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 2>a regular season game. The Yankees were cruising. This is

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a different environment game two playoffs. Yankees looking

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>at it as the Orioles who gave them trouble this

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>year are already out the Astros, who have given them

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>trouble year after year after year. By the way the Astros,

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>this year is the first year to Monsey, the Astros

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't make at least to the Alcs. Since the Obama administration.

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 2>They had made eight years in a row. They had

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe nine years. I don't know if it's eight or not.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Whatever it is, they had made at least the Alcs.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>But they're out thanks to the red hot Detroit Tigers.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going Monday night, and I know your sisters

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 2>want to go as well. I don't know, man, going

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 2>into an opposing team stadium in the playoffs loudly rooting

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>for the road team can be can be a tricky

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 2>spot contro but I'm excited for it.

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know you were in Jerseys as a grown up.

0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of my own rule. I think it's a

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>little silly. I baseball is the hockey sweaters are different

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 2>because they're just cool and they're sweaters. Football and basketball

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 2>jerseys are definitively no. So I almost put hockey sweaters

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 2>as like that's like yes, that is.

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Like just like fresh.

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, football and basketball jerseys, once you turn thirty, you

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 2>can't wear them unless you're on the team. Like you're okay,

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean you're when. I shouldn't have said adult. I

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>just mean like older, you know what I mean, in

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 2>your twenties, you can. You can do it, especially you

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>live in California. Go to the beach where justin NBA Jersey.

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 2>I think that's totally legit. Baseball jerseys are right on

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>the borderline. I don't know, but I'm excited. And again, listen, man,

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big whenever the Royals are good. I follow

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>baseball all year. I got the once the Royals started

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 2>this year two in one and I bought MLB extra

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 2>innings and I've watched seventy five games this year. I

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>hadn't watched the Soils in years. I was like, Bobby, wait,

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I was like, they might be good. Let's do it,

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and if they ever fall off, I'll go away. But

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm into it, all right, Let's get to the NFL.

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 3>All right. So DeVante Adams is on the move.

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 4>You said on your show yesterday that he'd instantly make

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 4>any thirty, any team in the NFL better instantly. But

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 4>for the most part, big name WHI our receiver trades

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 4>haven't been to look what they look like on paper, and.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 3>They don't end up working out.

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 4>But other teams in the running, would trading for Adams

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 4>lead to dethrowning Kansas City?

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 3>And if not, why would they do so?

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>So listen, I there's one team that's in the mix

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 2>for DeVante that I do think would change up the

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>math a bit. I would still say the Chiefs are

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the favorite. But if the Bills trade for DeVante Adams,

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 2>that's a needle mover. So here's the here's the Let's

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 2>talk about the three best teams in the AFC de

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.239
<v Speaker 2>demanse and no disrespect to the Bengals, but their defense

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 2>is dreadful. And no disrespect to the Texans. But I

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>just they haven't quite I know, they're three and one,

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>they haven't quite clicked the way I thought they could

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>coming into the year. So the three best teams are

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs, the Bills, and the Ravens. Those three teams,

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 2>and just follow me down this path. Who has the

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>best quarterback, Kansas City, who adds the best coach Kansas City,

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>who has the best defense, Kansas City, Who even has

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the best kicker, Kansas City. So how are either one

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>of those teams going to beat the Chiefs in a

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 2>high leverage spot. Well, listen the bounce of the ball randomness,

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>but you don't really want to, you know, rely on that.

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 2>The Ravens decided, Oh, okay, we're gonna have the most

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>devastating rushing attack in the NFL in the last decade.

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna bring in Derrick Henry. We're gonna play bully ball.

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>We have this dominant rushing quarterback. And it's that's the

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>curveball we're gonna throw at a team who has the

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>better quarterback, the better coach, the better defense. We'll see

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>if it works out, but it's a strategy right now.

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>The Bills don't have that pitch to throw. If they

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 2>had Davante Adams, then it's like, okay, we have the

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 2>more dynamic, game changing weapon on the outside. So for

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the Bills, I would be hitting up the Raiders and saying, hey,

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 2>we know it's a one year rental, but we're a

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 2>little better this year than we thought we were gonna

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 2>be we cleaned up our capuh, So if you got

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 2>and Davante's not gonna be on the team next year,

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 2>so let's go for it. Because I do think the

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Bills are going to struggle against some of the better

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>defenses in football because they don't have those elite weapons

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>on the outside. And as good as Josh Allen is,

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 2>he's not Patrick Mahomes, and he's not going to be

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.319
<v Speaker 2>able to do what Mahomes did last year. And by

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 2>the way, part of what Mahomes did last year involved

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>having a top three defense in football, and the Bills

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>aren't going to have a top three defense in football.

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Like one of the stories of Derrick Henry's eighty seven

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 2>yard touchdown run Demonsey was how fast he is. The

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 2>other story was how slow the Bills secondary was. Those

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.439
<v Speaker 2>guys were looked like And I know Dereck Henry is

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>a freak and is fast, but those guys had the

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>angle they were played, they should have been able to

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 2>at least the head start all of it, right, And

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean Damar Hamlin and others looked like they were

0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 2>running in mud. And so I don't think the Bills

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.439
<v Speaker 2>have this elite defense. So yeah, Davante Adams to be

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot with them. I don't understand why. I get

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 2>why there's the Davante Jets connection because of Aaron Rodgers.

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's obvious. I don't understand why people are

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 2>as optimistic as they appear to be that that's that

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:29.040
<v Speaker 2>would fix the Jets. The Jets list of issues, their

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 2>five biggest issues, you know, wide receiver depth is not

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 2>one of them. So I just I get why Aaron

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 2>would want him. I get why. I kind of get

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 2>why DeVante would want it, But if I were Davante,

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I would way prefer Buffalo or Kansas City.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 3>It's like the same things I'm going to play with

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Rodgers.

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 4>It's like once to go play with my buddy ends

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 4>up not working out, you know.

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 2>With him to go play with Derek Carr.

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Like he did the same thing when he left

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 4>the Green Bay the first time and then Derek Carr.

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And by the way, the two teams that reportedly

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>wants to go to are the Jets or the Saints. Yeah,

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean DeVante Adams loves Derek Carr. Bro Yeah, I

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 2>mean he loves Derek Carr like he seems like a

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 2>great friend and loves Derek Carr. All right, let's move

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 2>on to the Chiefs and Davante and all that stuff.

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 4>So, yeah, you said the Chiefs won't know what Rashid

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 4>Rice's status is until Monday, and that they shouldn't make

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 4>any drastic moves until they know about that. Las Vegas

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 4>likely wouldn't play with trade with the Chiefs because of

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 4>their arrival. Of there's been talks of Tyreek coming back.

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 4>He's been flirting around, kind of teasing the fans on Twitter.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 4>Were going to show a few tweets he said, woke

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 4>up to trade yesterday?

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he wrote, he wrote, woke up to trade

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 2>news exciting. By the way, I know it says nine

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 2>to thirty nine am, but that's because our producers are

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 2>on the West coast. He tweeted this at twelve thirty

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 2>nine PM, in the middle of the afternoon on the

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 2>East coast, which is where he is, so he didn't

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>wake up to this, so that didn't make sense. He

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.119
<v Speaker 2>then tweeted some SpongeBob memes that I don't totally understand.

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't know what that means.

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 3>To be honest with you about me like type of

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 3>thing is what I say?

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's what it means. Okay, yeah, he's quote tweeting.

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Joe Shadow wrote, Tyreek Hill asked about Kansas City, says

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, and says he loves where he is, and

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 2>then he writes, I love trolling you nutcases. Okay, that's fine,

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 2>all right. So there's the Tyreek stuff, but go ahead.

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Right, So Tyreek's talking about going or not talking about

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 4>going over there, but there's talks of him going over there.

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 4>But why would anybody trade with Kansas City and risk

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 4>looking looking foolish after him?

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 2>So here here's where teams across sports need to do

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 2>a better job of separating emotion from logic. And I

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know. Listen, the Chiefs right now can't afford Deavante

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Adams unless the Raiders pay more of his salary. And

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.040
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I don't think they're gonna make a

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 2>drastic move until they get the prognosis on Rashid, which

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think is going to be coming for a

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 2>few days. But from a purely game theory perspective, this

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 2>idea that you don't want to trade with your divisional

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>rival if you are on different timelines Not only should

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 2>them being your divisional rival not be a deterrent, you should,

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 2>more than anything seek out your divisional rival because you

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 2>should want to trade with them. So let me explain

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:48.319
<v Speaker 2>why everybody understands Davante is a likely one year rental

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 2>for if the Chiefs were to trade for him, it

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 2>would be for this year and this year only. Same

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 2>with if the Bills were to trade for him most likely,

0:13:55.920 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>or the Jets. If you're the Raiders and you're trading

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:05.199
<v Speaker 2>DeVante Adams and starting Gardner, Minshew or aid and o'connolic quarterback,

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 2>you know definitively this year you are not contending, So

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 2>trading DeVante. What Davante adds to the Chiefs this year

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 2>has no impact on you whatsoever. But by trading him

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 2>to the Chiefs, you then deplete them your rival, of

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 2>draft resources that you get to use, and they are

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 2>slightly weakened when you are ready to compete with them.

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>So that makes trading with your divisional rival, if you

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 2>guys are on different timelines as far as the player

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 2>you're trading, more attractive than trading with a cross conference

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 2>team or someone because you're taking away resources for the future,

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 2>which is when you would be competing with them. But

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 2>that's it's not a Raiders thing that is across sports.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 2>You hear this. Don't want to trade them within the conference,

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 2>don't want to trade them to a right, it's just

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>letting emotions get in the way of smart decision making.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>And I just think it's I think it's silly. Now.

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I do not think the Chiefs are gonna trade for

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Devonte Adams. I think that DeVonta Adams probably is going

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 2>to end up on the Jets. I think that's likely

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>where this is going. I would not rule out Pittsburgh.

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:33.760
<v Speaker 2>We know Pittsburgh wanted Brandon Ayuk. We also know that

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh right now is probably having a slightly better season

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>than they anticipated going into the year with fields playing better.

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 2>So I would not rule them out. And there has

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>been sneaky forty nine er buzz. I'm gonna throw another

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>team out there at you. That forty nine er buzz

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 2>would probably be like Devonte for Deba something like that,

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>because they think they're gonna have to move off Debo

0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 2>in the offseason anyway.

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 3>And so so I was like, what, yeah.

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Right now, I mean, they've got plenty of wide receivers

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna throw a different one for one at you

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 2>that no one's talking about and that I don't think

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 2>is going to happen. But you can make a really

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I think smart case for it. If Cincinnati is convinced,

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 2>as they should be, that T Higgins is gone after

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 2>this year, that T Higgins is essentially a rental Davante

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 2>for T Higgins is interesting. If the Raiders are like, okay,

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 2>we will trade for Tea and give him an extension

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 2>so we're not gonna have to come He's not going

0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 2>to be, you know, hit the open market. We have

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 2>our wide receiver position with a young guy answered and

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 2>if you're the Bengals, it's okay. Tea is good, Davante

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 2>is great, and now we have Davante and Jamar Chase

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 2>on the outside every week when we're gonna have to

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 2>be an offense only team. I find that one as

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.199
<v Speaker 2>an interesting idea that I came up with, but I

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 2>don't think I don't think it's realistic, so that I

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 2>think DeVante is going into being traded and let's not

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 2>have it lost in this. That the reason this went from,

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of a little bit of smoke and

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:26.199
<v Speaker 2>something that could blow up into a blazing inferno. Is

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:33.400
<v Speaker 2>because the head coach of an NFL team sub liked

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram his star wide receiver. This all got really

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 2>rolling because Antonio Pierce liked an Instagram post about DeVante

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Adams leaving the Raiders. It's one of the most childish,

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous things I've ever seen come to the to pro sports.

0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 2>When the head coach of the team like the post

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 2>and it was seemingly the final straw for DeVante Adams,

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 2>that's an outrage an.

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:11.119
<v Speaker 3>Beside my brewing.

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 4>Before he liked the post, I think there was some

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 4>events that, like, I don't know, I saw him going

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.880
<v Speaker 4>a presser and he's talking about some of our players made.

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Making business decisions no right about he probably want to

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 2>get out of before. Yes, and DeVante might have even

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 2>requested a trade privately before he did that. I don't care.

0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 2>You are still the head coach of an NFL team

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:45.080
<v Speaker 2>doing what a guy like this is. This is what

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 2>young NBA guys do when they want to be traded,

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 2>or it's what Amari Cooper did when they were talking

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.679
<v Speaker 2>about him being traded to the Niners and he was like,

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't you know wouldn't be bad for me, he wrote

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:04.120
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram. You cannot, as the head of an organization,

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 2>be sending messages to your team via social media likes.

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:13.240
<v Speaker 2>It's insane that it happened.

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of the second year of being a head coach,

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 3>it's like growing pains.

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, growing pains. It's also another example, don't hire

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the interim head coach. The The other thing that I

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:28.919
<v Speaker 2>will say is this, if the Chiefs get bad Rashi

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Rice News, Amari Cooper is the name I would watch for.

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Amari Cooper is making the minimum this year because they

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 2>redid the deal, the brown stink. Amari Cooper's the name

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>i'd watch for. All right, let's let's talk Caleb Demonse.

0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 4>Caleb has had a people call a rocky start, but

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 4>he's got a game coming up against Carolina, who's got

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.399
<v Speaker 4>the worst defense in the NFL right now, So this

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 4>feels like it should be a Caleb breakout game.

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 3>Will it be a Caleb breakout game?

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 4>Or is it going to be the Bears should have

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 4>taken Daniels takes get louder.

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, listen, Yeah, if Caleb plays poorly, that's gonna

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 2>be a big problem because You're right about Carolina's defense,

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 2>but Caleb has steadily gotten better every week. His completion

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>percentage has gone up, his passer rating has gone up.

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 2>He has looked more comfortable each and every week. For

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Caleb first ten quarters of the season versus last six

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:28.439
<v Speaker 2>quarters of the season, you see a significant jump around

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 2>halftime of last week's game, not last week's two weeks

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.640
<v Speaker 2>ago game. Pardon me, what was that game? Who did

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.359
<v Speaker 2>they lose to two weeks ago? When he threw this

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 2>the Bears played, I'll pull it right now. I can't

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 2>oh the Colts the when Caleb threw the three touchdowns,

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:50.639
<v Speaker 2>but also add the three turnovers and three hundred and

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 2>fifty yards maybe through two touchdowns. Whatever it was. Halftime

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.320
<v Speaker 2>of that game, he started to look more like a pro.

0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 2>And then last week against the Rams he looked good.

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:04.239
<v Speaker 2>But he does need to play well and man if so.

0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Here is the thing about how quickly narratives can shift.

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 2>So I believe the Bears are going to win at

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 2>home against the Panthers, and you have to believe that

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 2>they're going even though it's in London, that they're going

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 2>to be able to beat the Jaguars in London. In

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.879
<v Speaker 2>a week who look just totally They look like the

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 2>worst team in football. That would put them Demond's at

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:33.879
<v Speaker 2>four and two. The Washington Commanders this week have the Browns.

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Then they're at the Ravens. They're three and one. I

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 2>think them being four and two after the next couple

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 2>weeks is pretty realistic, right. You beat the Browns, lose

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 2>to the Ravens. That next game then is with both

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 2>teams potentially sitting at four and two in Washington against

0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears and both guys fourign

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.639
<v Speaker 2>I think both guys will be four and two. Caleb

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 2>will be on a little three game winning streak, Jayden

0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 2>coming off a loss to the Ravens, and we can

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 2>see how narratives start to shift and change. Now, maybe listen,

0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:17.679
<v Speaker 2>maybe Jayden just Jayden right now, I think is the

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 2>league MVP. So I'm not under selling what he's doing.

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I know people are talking Darnold right now. Demon's if

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.720
<v Speaker 2>there was a ballot, I think Jayden should be number one.

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 2>The defense is dreadful. He's playing perfect football week after week,

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.679
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not taking anything away from him. I'm just saying,

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 2>in three weeks time, the whole thing could be turned

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 2>on a tat they're both four and two going into

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 2>that game. That game's gonna be huge, buried at one o'clock.

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a one o'clock CBS game. That thing needs to

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 2>get flexed, man, like that is I mean Jayden Caleb? Now, now, now,

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:02.560
<v Speaker 2>if the Bears looked, you know, maybe the Bears lose

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 2>to the Panthers and the Jags and then it's not

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.879
<v Speaker 2>a big game. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And so I think Caleb's showing a little steady progression

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 2>is all we could ask for. Jaden is you know

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Jaden again, He's the MVP of the league for the

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:22.680
<v Speaker 2>first four weeks of the year. It's truly unbelievable. All right,

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:25.360
<v Speaker 2>let's take quick break. Come back to our Week five

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.399
<v Speaker 2>gambling show. Demons had a winning week. I did not,

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:31.679
<v Speaker 2>and I got something you guys can win as well.

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 2>If you don't follow me on Twitter, I'll tell you

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:33.680
<v Speaker 2>about it next.

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:34.080
<v Speaker 3>We'll try.

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back in What's right with Nick? Right?

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Just quick note, I put this on Twitter yesterday. I

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 2>had told you guys that I am in November going

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 2>to Vegas to play Gronk and the Poker Stars Big

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Game on Tour that we talked about that a few

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:58.000
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago. As part of that, Poker Stars gave me

0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 2>a gold pass, which is it's worth like I want to.

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't have like the full legal eese here, but

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 2>it's you, it's and it's worth like a round ten

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 2>grand and it's you get an entry into the North

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 2>American Poker Tour main event in Las Vegas, Flight Hotel,

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 2>spending money, all this stuff, and they told me I

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 2>can give it away however I want, just as long

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 2>as whoever I give it to is at least twenty one,

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 2>lives in the US and is a poker player. So

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I put on social media that submit to me your

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 2>best bad beat stories in poker. I'm gonna have someone

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:40.679
<v Speaker 2>pick their ten to fifteen favorite ones submitted. Then I'm

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna draw names out of the hat and so live

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:46.199
<v Speaker 2>on IG in a week. That's the fairest way to

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.160
<v Speaker 2>do it. I think I don't really know the best

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 2>way to do it. I've never done one of these giveaways,

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 2>but that's what I'm doing. So if you want the

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.679
<v Speaker 2>full details on that, all of it, I put it

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:58.159
<v Speaker 2>on Twitter and Instagram, so you guys can check it

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 2>out there, all right. Demandi with the producers did to

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:05.879
<v Speaker 2>me today because it was really a it was it

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 2>was unintentionally cruel. So when I opened up the rundown,

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:17.440
<v Speaker 2>it said Nick's Picks Recap Week four, three and two,

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 2>season record ten nine and one, and I'm like, really,

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought I went too and three last week, and

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking and I'm looking, and Atlanta did win the game.

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I picked them to win, but they won by two

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 2>and I was laying two and a half. So I

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.479
<v Speaker 2>had to in the rundown. We can put the record

0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 2>up there. In the rundown, I had to do something

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:45.679
<v Speaker 2>very sad, which is change that Atlanta pick from highlighted

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:50.000
<v Speaker 2>green to highlighted red. And it was just devastating. I'm

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:54.120
<v Speaker 2>going to tell you right now, as odd as this sounds,

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:58.639
<v Speaker 2>having gone two and three, I felt really locked in

0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 2>on these picks. Last week, Dallas, the best kicker in

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the world who hasn't missed a kick in his life,

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 2>misses a kick and so they win by five instead

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:12.960
<v Speaker 2>of eight. That's a loss. Cincinnati minus four at Carolina,

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:16.240
<v Speaker 2>they win by ten. Tampa Bay plus two against Philly

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:19.600
<v Speaker 2>they blow them out. Atlanta minus two and a half

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 2>against New Orleans, that's probably the shakiest one and it

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 2>did lose. And the Rams plus three at Chicago. That

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 2>felt throughout the game. I said on this showing on

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 2>TV that a one or two point Chicago win is

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:37.199
<v Speaker 2>what we're looking for. And there was a lot of

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:38.920
<v Speaker 2>time in that game where it looked like it was

0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be exactly that, where the Bears were up six.

0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, okay, Rams scored the go ahead touchdown,

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Bears kick a field goal and with the Ram but

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Chicago ends up, you know, beating them by six. So

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel bad about that two and three. Sometimes

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:57.560
<v Speaker 2>you feel bad about a three and two, like, oh

0:26:57.600 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 2>we got lucky. That's not how I feel at all.

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel dialed into this season. Now it's once again

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 2>we're just going two and three or three and two

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.479
<v Speaker 2>every week. We've had no awful weeks, no great weeks.

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 2>But the great week is coming. The great week is coming.

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 2>This week feels like it's going to be it. We're

0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:18.359
<v Speaker 2>starting in London, Demons go ahead.

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.639
<v Speaker 4>So first off, you've got Minnesota minus two and a

0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:24.919
<v Speaker 4>half versus the Jets in London.

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this one is. And I'm not as big

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 2>of a believer in Minnesota as others, but they have

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 2>the better team, a massive coaching mismatch Kevin O'Connell, Robert

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Salah that well, it's a flight for everybody. Is that

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:48.159
<v Speaker 2>not much longer from Minnesota, you know, to London. So

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:54.720
<v Speaker 2>but here's the thing. Any added wrinkle, extra rest, neutral site,

0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 2>weird day of the week works against the Jets favor

0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 2>because they're not a l coach team. Anything that falls

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 2>into the good coaching bucket is going to work against them.

0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:11.440
<v Speaker 2>And Rogers popping up on the injury report and now

0:28:11.480 --> 0:28:15.919
<v Speaker 2>dealing with that Brian Flores defense to me, and that

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 2>those blitzes is going to be really tough. And I

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>don't know how good the Jets defense is because here's

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 2>you can be like, oh, look at the Jets defensive numbers, Demons,

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 2>it is kind of unfair. But I'm off the top

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 2>of your head, who's the worst quarterback in the league?

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Give me a name worst quarterback in the league right now?

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Jeez, I hold on, just named someone who is name

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Jacob Jacoby Brissett. There's one the Jets played him. Who's

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 2>another who's the funniest quarterback in the league.

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Daniel Jones is here?

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh no, I wasn't gonna say Daniel Jones. I'm

0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna do it. You could make an argument the three

0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 2>worst quarterbacks in the league are Will Levis, who is

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 2>the one I thought you were gonna say, Jacoby Brissett,

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 2>and rookie Bo Nicks. Those are the last three quarterbacks

0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:22.360
<v Speaker 2>the Jets have fixed. So everyone's like, oh, the Jets defense,

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness, gracious, we'll see Levis, Brissette, Nicks. Now

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 2>you play Minnesota and Justin Jefferson. I like Minnesota. I'm

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 2>laying less than a field goal. Favorites, by the way,

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 2>in London are thirty and fifteen against the spread.

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Next, love that pick. Next, you've got Miami plus one

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 4>at New England.

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, listen, I understand that Miami without Tua's

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:57.840
<v Speaker 2>looked awful. However, the Dolphins are in this spot where

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Tua theory radically wants to come back in week seven.

0:30:03.680 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 2>We'll see if he does, but he wants to. If

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 2>they win this game, they steady themselves going into their

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 2>bye because they have a bye next week. Tyreek just

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 2>recommitted to the team. I know they'll have just lost

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Phillips, and I'm not acting like I think Miami's good.

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I am of the belief, however, that the Patriots should

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:31.680
<v Speaker 2>not be a favorite in any game they play all year.

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm getting a point with Miami. It's probably

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Jacoby's last start. The Dolphins don't feel like their season

0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 2>is over, but they will if they lose this game.

0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 2>And so and listen that the Dolphins numbers demons are brutal.

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:55.240
<v Speaker 2>You realize, even though the Dolphins have a win, they

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 2>haven't led in a single game all year because that

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Jacks win kicked a field goal at the gun when

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 2>they were trailing or when they were tied, but Miami

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:13.040
<v Speaker 2>opened well. Of course, it's two terrible quarterbacks and two

0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:16.480
<v Speaker 2>bad teams, but New England should not be a favorite.

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Miami's got the motivational edge, the best the you have

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Tygreek and Waddle. It's just Miami's going to win this game.

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how many games New England's gonna win

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the year. I like Miami plus the point.

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 4>Next Arizona plus seven and a half at San Francisco.

0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 2>So just feels like a lot of backdoor cover Kyler potential.

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:48.479
<v Speaker 2>Also even last week then as as well as Purty played,

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 2>and even though the Niners were playing a Patriots team

0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 2>that is just god awful. There were moments in that

0:31:57.720 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 2>game after the Niners jumped up to twenty to nothing

0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 2>where it looked like New England might backdoor cover. They

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 2>had it twenty to ten, twenty seven to thirteen. I

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 2>don't think the Niners defense is as good as we're

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 2>used to it being. Fred Warner got banged up and

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 2>hasn't practiced yet. This week. He has been alongside Chris Jones,

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:26.520
<v Speaker 2>the best defensive players in the league. Underdogs demonse this

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 2>year of six or more are fourteen to two to

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 2>one against the spread. Now, that actually kind of works

0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 2>against my next pick, But I just I think that

0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a thirty one to twenty seven, thirty five

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 2>to twenty eight, high scoring affair that Arizona can be

0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that San Francisco can have control over, but Arizona can

0:32:57.560 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 2>stay within reaching distance and has that backdoor cover potential

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 2>wide open the entire game. So getting the seven and

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:11.080
<v Speaker 2>a half I love. Also, everyone's gonna tease the Niners

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 2>this week. That's been a death knell for a lot

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>of teams. But I don't think Arizona's gonna win out right.

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I like, I'm sorry, So yeah, I don't think Arizona's

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:23.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna win out right, But I do like the divisional matchup.

0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Getting seven and a half San Francisco is still not

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:29.480
<v Speaker 2>fully hold too many points. I'll take Arizona plus seven

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half.

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Next.

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 4>I actually got Seattle minus six and a half versus

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:34.240
<v Speaker 4>the Giants.

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so listen, this goes Like I said, big favorites

0:33:38.760 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 2>have not been covering at all. However, you know who's

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 2>probably not playing for the Giants, Demanse Melik Neighbors. Yeah,

0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 2>their entire offense has existed around Melik Neighbors. Seattle, on

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the other hand, is coming off a tough loss and

0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 2>they need the game. Also, the Giants traveling all the

0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 2>way out west to Seattle their furthest road trip of

0:34:05.720 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 2>the year, and I just think this is a game

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 2>that Seattle is going to score at least twenty seven.

0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Giants without Neighbors can get to twenty.

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.959
<v Speaker 2>I love how Gino's played this year. I love their

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:25.000
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver weapons. Now the Giants d line can absolutely

0:34:25.040 --> 0:34:28.960
<v Speaker 2>present problems for that Seattle interior of their offensive line.

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:31.160
<v Speaker 2>But I don't see how the Giants move the ball

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 2>without neighbors. All swallow the six and a half and

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.919
<v Speaker 2>take Seattle and also seattle to me if I were

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:40.399
<v Speaker 2>to do a teaser Seattle to me is a fun

0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:42.919
<v Speaker 2>teaser leg this week? All right, last one?

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Uh, you've got Kansas City minus five and a half

0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:47.760
<v Speaker 4>versus New Orleans.

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so the Chiefs don't cover big spreads. I understand that,

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 2>and the Chiefs have been playing very close games. But

0:34:57.760 --> 0:35:02.799
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans offensive line is banged up to a degree

0:35:03.040 --> 0:35:07.880
<v Speaker 2>that I think Chris Jones by himself can absolutely wreck

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Derek Carr in the confidence in this game. The Chiefs

0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 2>run defense against running backs, not against Lamar, but against

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:21.920
<v Speaker 2>running backs has been exceptional all year, So that neutralizes

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Alvin Kamara a bit. And I gotta think, man, that

0:35:26.600 --> 0:35:30.760
<v Speaker 2>we are going to see as dialed in of Patrick

0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes as we've seen since the playoffs. He won't say

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:41.840
<v Speaker 2>this publicly, but Mahomes feels sick about what happened with Rashid,

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's less honestly about the fact that

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 2>it was Mahomes that dove into his knee and more

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:53.879
<v Speaker 2>that because that's a freak fluke thing. More, he threw

0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the pick that set the whole chain of events in motion,

0:35:58.040 --> 0:35:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. That put us in this spot.

0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:03.360
<v Speaker 2>So I think you're going to see an absolutely locked

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 2>in Mahomes. I liked how Kareem Hunt looked last week

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:13.200
<v Speaker 2>for Kansas City. I also think the extra day will

0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:16.640
<v Speaker 2>be good for Travis Kelcey. I think the Chiefs defense

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:21.280
<v Speaker 2>continues to be the most underrated unit in the NFL,

0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:25.360
<v Speaker 2>as it was last year. And while the Chiefs are

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:30.799
<v Speaker 2>playing close games in two of their three game, two

0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:33.360
<v Speaker 2>of their four games they would have covered this spread,

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:35.919
<v Speaker 2>and one they would have missed it by half point,

0:36:35.960 --> 0:36:42.800
<v Speaker 2>they've won by seven, one, five, and seven. I only

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:46.040
<v Speaker 2>picked the Chiefs once this year. That was against Baltimore

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:49.480
<v Speaker 2>in Week one. I don't think New Orleans is that good.

0:36:50.080 --> 0:36:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I also think Kansas Kansas City, you're going to have

0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:56.800
<v Speaker 2>a locked in Patrick Mahomes. And I think the Andy

0:36:56.880 --> 0:37:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Reid Dennis Allen coaching mismatch is massive. The Chiefs laying

0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the five and a half is my final pick of

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:08.359
<v Speaker 2>the week, So my five picks this week, We're going

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:11.719
<v Speaker 2>with three favorites, two dogs. Miami minus two and a

0:37:11.760 --> 0:37:14.000
<v Speaker 2>half on a neutral site in London against the Jets.

0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, Minnesota minus two and a half on a

0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:19.360
<v Speaker 2>neutral site against the Jets, Miami plus one in New England,

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Arizona plus seven and a half in San Francisco, Seattle

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:25.600
<v Speaker 2>minus six and a half against the Giants, and Kansas

0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 2>City laying the five and a half against New Orleans.

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 2>There it is Demons. Recap your teaser last week, buddy.

0:37:33.680 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's all green. I love to see it.

0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 4>Last week was a two team seven pointer tease Tampa

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Bay up to nine. That hit was all the entire

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:46.319
<v Speaker 4>game against Philly, obviously in Kansas City to basically pick

0:37:46.360 --> 0:37:50.959
<v Speaker 4>him versus the Chargers. And it was looking a little

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 4>sketchy in the beginning with the Kansas City game, but.

0:37:55.000 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I wasn't worried. Jim Nance got the stat wrong,

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:04.960
<v Speaker 2>but he got the spirit of it right. In one

0:38:05.000 --> 0:38:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of the craziest facts in NFL history, what do you

0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 2>think Mahomes is? Mahomes has played eight games in his

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:17.279
<v Speaker 2>career where the game started and the Chiefs were down

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 2>ten to nothing, So eight times in his career, he

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:23.520
<v Speaker 2>has started a game down ten to nothing. What do

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:24.440
<v Speaker 2>you think his record is?

0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, go ahead, No, just gotta eight seven.

0:38:31.120 --> 0:38:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Eight nos? Correct eight.

0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:37.839
<v Speaker 2>He is also now eighteen and fourteen in games they

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 2>trail by ten at any moment, which is the best

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:45.719
<v Speaker 2>in NFL history by a mile. But that's insane. Go ahead.

0:38:45.920 --> 0:38:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're saying they started like he hit the field

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:50.120
<v Speaker 4>and they were down ten. Oh, or like you're just

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:50.960
<v Speaker 4>saying he was he.

0:38:50.920 --> 0:38:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Was in the game, started ten at some point, yes, okay,

0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying no, not down ten at some point. The

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 2>exact score was ten to nothing. Okay, okay, So in

0:39:01.719 --> 0:39:05.319
<v Speaker 2>games they in games they have been down ten at

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:09.800
<v Speaker 2>any point, he is eighteen and fourteen a winning run, right, Okay.

0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:12.880
<v Speaker 2>The next best in that situation is Tom Brady, who

0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 2>won thirty eight percent of those games. Mahomes wins fifty

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:19.960
<v Speaker 2>five percent of them, but down ten to zero with

0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes, the Kansady Chiefs are eight.

0:39:22.200 --> 0:39:22.439
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:25.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's so let's talk your teaser this week.

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 2>What are you looking at?

0:39:27.239 --> 0:39:29.800
<v Speaker 4>So this week is a two team seven and a

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 4>half point teaser at minus one sixty three. I'm teasing

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:37.440
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati up to plus ten from two and a half

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:40.919
<v Speaker 4>against Baltimore, and I'm teasing Indiana up to plus ten

0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:46.680
<v Speaker 4>from two and a half against Jacksonville. Yeah, I think that.

0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if they're playing Joe Flacco was gonna be playing.

0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:51.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Anthony Richardson is gonna be playing. And

0:39:51.480 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 4>I love that against Jacksonville.

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:54.279
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know.

0:39:54.360 --> 0:39:58.239
<v Speaker 4>I could regret fading Baltimore here, but I didn't want

0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:00.360
<v Speaker 4>to go Baltimore on. That's not obviously you have to

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:03.719
<v Speaker 4>tease through the zero. Cincinnati, I gotta think can come

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:05.480
<v Speaker 4>within ten points of a division game.

0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, that's that's this week's.

0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Listen. I don't love seven and a half point teasers

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:14.759
<v Speaker 2>in general because of the juice you.

0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Have to lay. Are you talking about you're gonna say

0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 3>something about Arizona?

0:40:19.200 --> 0:40:23.160
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not, I'm not. I'm no, no, No, I'm

0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:27.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna say. This is as good of a seven and

0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:31.719
<v Speaker 2>a half point teaser as you can have, because I

0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:35.280
<v Speaker 2>so I give that, I give I give this an a.

0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh Cincinnati. Their offense has been unbelievable and they're going

0:40:42.280 --> 0:40:45.480
<v Speaker 2>to fight the whole game even if they are getting dominated.

0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore has a propensity to let teams back in it.

0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:52.840
<v Speaker 2>So even if you know Baltimore is up seventeen points,

0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:56.719
<v Speaker 2>you're not dead. And Cincinnati could win the game. And

0:40:57.000 --> 0:41:02.200
<v Speaker 2>the Jacksonville I don't think it's possible for Jacksonville to

0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 2>blow a team out. I really don't know. And so

0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:10.239
<v Speaker 2>I it's amazing, and so I just and I don't

0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:12.360
<v Speaker 2>think Joe Flacco was one hundred percent playing by the

0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:14.160
<v Speaker 2>way I think he might play. I don't think that's

0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:17.279
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent locked yet. Then Anthony Richardson is out

0:41:17.280 --> 0:41:20.719
<v Speaker 2>this week. But regardless, Jacksonville, if they get up big,

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.359
<v Speaker 2>they'll let you back in it. And they've just been

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:25.920
<v Speaker 2>playing one score games except for the Bills game all

0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 2>year where they got blown out. So I give this

0:41:28.239 --> 0:41:30.319
<v Speaker 2>an A. I think this is a I think this

0:41:30.400 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 2>is a great teaser. So great job. All right, what's

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the offer this week? Uh?

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:37.719
<v Speaker 4>This week, we are celebrating your birthday by betting on

0:41:37.800 --> 0:41:43.200
<v Speaker 4>your favorites. Okay, so we got Mahomes, Baker and Caleb.

0:41:45.120 --> 0:41:47.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that's a cute. Yeah, I like that one.

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:53.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, But Mahomes, Baker and Caleb to all throw two

0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:56.640
<v Speaker 4>plus touchdowns and Jacksonville to get its first win.

0:41:57.520 --> 0:41:58.280
<v Speaker 3>It's air TBD.

0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right is saying the odds are plus fifteen

0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:05.799
<v Speaker 2>twenty five. So here's the deal, guys, take jackson Jacksonville

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the deal. Yes, exactly right. Yeah, that's exactly what I

0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:14.360
<v Speaker 2>was gonna say. Jacksonville. They haven't played in London yet.

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I said, I'm not betting on them till they play

0:42:16.560 --> 0:42:18.919
<v Speaker 2>in London, and I might never bet on him this year.

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Pat Caleb and Baker two plus touchdowns. I love it.

0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Say whatever plus eighty six, lock it in taking that

0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:30.320
<v Speaker 2>birthday off or that's no problem?

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:30.640
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Great one producers take quick break, answer some listener questions,

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:34.399
<v Speaker 2>then I'll get out of here.

0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:34.799
<v Speaker 3>What's right?

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:41.640
<v Speaker 2>All right? Welcome back in What's right with Nick?

0:42:41.719 --> 0:42:41.919
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:45.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, demons, Let's get to some listener questions or

0:42:45.920 --> 0:42:47.440
<v Speaker 2>comments before we get out of here.

0:42:48.360 --> 0:42:50.560
<v Speaker 3>Lots of people wish you a happy birthday today.

0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks, guys, I appreciate that.

0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Ep you will feel different at forty Nick. Midlife is

0:42:58.560 --> 0:43:00.359
<v Speaker 4>not caring about what other see.

0:43:01.719 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 2>So I that's one that I have that I achieved early.

0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:10.719
<v Speaker 2>So I'm the I'm I'm actually quite good at that.

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's been I think it's kind of a

0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 2>key to doing what I do is not is not

0:43:17.280 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 2>as seeking out what others are saying about you or

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:24.800
<v Speaker 2>thinking about you. Oddly, that the that that doesn't apply

0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:27.960
<v Speaker 2>to people thinking I'm short. I don't know why that

0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:31.680
<v Speaker 2>really bothers me. I feel like a like a m

0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:35.319
<v Speaker 2>and I feel I know how dumb it is that

0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:38.480
<v Speaker 2>it bothers me, And I also know how how insecure

0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I look when I'm when I remind people I'm six,

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 2>one like what are you talking about? But I, for

0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:46.880
<v Speaker 2>some reason, that is the one thing that like pierces

0:43:47.040 --> 0:43:50.560
<v Speaker 2>my ability to not care what other people think about me,

0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:54.239
<v Speaker 2>and it like it just for some I don't know

0:43:54.280 --> 0:43:56.759
<v Speaker 2>why that is the one thing. People think my hair

0:43:56.920 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 2>is faked, but I don't care. Yeah, oh yeah, maybe

0:44:01.160 --> 0:44:04.480
<v Speaker 2>that's what I need to do. But yeah, the I

0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:06.439
<v Speaker 2>think I I think I do a pretty good job

0:44:06.480 --> 0:44:09.040
<v Speaker 2>of not worrying about that at all and not And again,

0:44:09.120 --> 0:44:14.319
<v Speaker 2>as I've said before, if you if you dislike me,

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:17.520
<v Speaker 2>or think I'm an idiot, or think I have the

0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:21.360
<v Speaker 2>worst takes or whatever it is, you literally have to

0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:24.080
<v Speaker 2>find me in person to tell me, or I'll never

0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:27.040
<v Speaker 2>know because I don't read any of the shit and

0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:30.239
<v Speaker 2>so like it's just it's a tough like and so

0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:32.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe it is that I do care, but I just

0:44:32.760 --> 0:44:36.319
<v Speaker 2>don't see it, like it's just it's not it's not

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:38.040
<v Speaker 2>a thing for me, all right.

0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:44.160
<v Speaker 4>Next uh Eric Eric TD guitar says, Happy birthday, Nick.

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Question outside of sports journalism and poker, any big goals

0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:50.360
<v Speaker 4>for the next forty years.

0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know about the next forty years. I

0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:59.440
<v Speaker 2>have a financial goal for my forties that I'm not

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:02.800
<v Speaker 2>going to share, but there is a set dollar amount

0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:06.600
<v Speaker 2>that I want to make in this next decade. I

0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 2>have a personal goal for the next year that I've said,

0:45:09.760 --> 0:45:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do a triathlon. Now, last night I discovered

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the existence of do athlons, which because triathlon is swim

0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:25.799
<v Speaker 2>bike run, duathlon is run bike run. I'm adding that

0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:29.439
<v Speaker 2>to the possible mix because I feel like so much

0:45:29.520 --> 0:45:32.400
<v Speaker 2>of the training time that I would need for this

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:36.040
<v Speaker 2>triathlon would be related to the swimming, which is also

0:45:36.120 --> 0:45:38.640
<v Speaker 2>the part of it I'm least interested in, you know

0:45:38.680 --> 0:45:40.439
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, Like, I want to get back into

0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:45.400
<v Speaker 2>running and I love biking and the swimming. Yeah, I

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:48.920
<v Speaker 2>think I think maybe two. Like I didn't know that

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:51.640
<v Speaker 2>was a thing, but somebody sent it to me. I'm like, oh,

0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:54.960
<v Speaker 2>a dou athlon. It doesn't feel like a cop out,

0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:58.720
<v Speaker 2>but it just feels like there's so much of the

0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:01.840
<v Speaker 2>training for it was gonna be like I gotta find

0:46:02.000 --> 0:46:04.840
<v Speaker 2>like a lake that I can swim in and hire

0:46:04.880 --> 0:46:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a swimming coach and I and well, because it's open

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:11.920
<v Speaker 2>water or river, I don't know, and I'm just not

0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:14.720
<v Speaker 2>into the swimming, Like I don't. I love the water,

0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:17.920
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just not really into the swimming portion of it.

0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:22.720
<v Speaker 2>So there's that, and then a bunch of like family stuff,

0:46:22.800 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 2>but that's that's mostly it.

0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:30.400
<v Speaker 4>Next uh, Danny Tanner, Jade and Daniels isn't the prince

0:46:30.440 --> 0:46:31.320
<v Speaker 4>that was promised.

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:32.880
<v Speaker 3>He's the Lord Commander.

0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:37.560
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good. I like that a lot. That's a

0:46:37.600 --> 0:46:40.240
<v Speaker 2>good one because he's on the Commanders I get Lord

0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Commander of the Night's Watch. That one's pretty good. I

0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:46.200
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell you, Danny Tanner, you should probably throw that

0:46:46.280 --> 0:46:48.719
<v Speaker 2>on a T shirt and try to sell it. Like

0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I won't take that. I won't say that on TV

0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:54.319
<v Speaker 2>because I don't want anyone to steal it from you,

0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:57.080
<v Speaker 2>but you should try to get you know, mock that

0:46:57.280 --> 0:46:59.399
<v Speaker 2>up and sell that on the internet. That's pretty good.

0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:04.680
<v Speaker 4>Next if that patented, Will Johnson says, is the NFL

0:47:04.760 --> 0:47:07.960
<v Speaker 4>market slowly correcting and high level running backs will be

0:47:08.000 --> 0:47:09.239
<v Speaker 4>a sought after commodity.

0:47:09.239 --> 0:47:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Again, well, yeah, listen, these markets will always correct, and

0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:18.839
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, don't I don't think the running backs are

0:47:18.880 --> 0:47:21.920
<v Speaker 2>ever gonna make you know, I don't think running back

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:25.360
<v Speaker 2>will ever be the highest paid non quarterback position. But

0:47:25.480 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I do think. I was talking about this with Dan

0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Patrick today. Something weird happened in the NFL marketplace where

0:47:35.480 --> 0:47:40.600
<v Speaker 2>from a salary cap perspective, a number three receiver was

0:47:40.760 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 2>valued more than Derrick Henry, Like Alan Lazard makes more

0:47:45.120 --> 0:47:48.000
<v Speaker 2>money than Derreck Henry does, Christian Kirk makes more money

0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:51.279
<v Speaker 2>than Saquon Barkley does, and nobody bats an eye at it,

0:47:51.680 --> 0:47:54.439
<v Speaker 2>so that it has to correct somewhat. There the other

0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:56.960
<v Speaker 2>thing that's going to happen, But this is more long term,

0:47:56.960 --> 0:48:00.680
<v Speaker 2>and I've talked about it for a long time. The

0:48:00.719 --> 0:48:07.640
<v Speaker 2>best high school athletes played running back, and that led

0:48:07.719 --> 0:48:11.520
<v Speaker 2>to a glut of excellent running backs where it's like, man,

0:48:11.600 --> 0:48:14.200
<v Speaker 2>this kid had fourteen hundred yards in college and he

0:48:14.239 --> 0:48:18.120
<v Speaker 2>went undrafted. There were just too many, you know, not

0:48:18.200 --> 0:48:24.279
<v Speaker 2>necessarily awesome, but capable running backs. Now a lot of

0:48:24.280 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 2>those guys are playing receiver, and you're seeing receiver after receiver.

0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Every draft class has these amazing receivers. Alabama's got that

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:36.040
<v Speaker 2>kid who's seventeen years old cooking up Georgia. And so

0:48:37.440 --> 0:48:41.560
<v Speaker 2>what will happen is there will be so many excellent

0:48:41.640 --> 0:48:45.279
<v Speaker 2>receivers this year in the draft. I think ten of

0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:49.399
<v Speaker 2>the first thirty nine picks were receivers that will hurt

0:48:49.400 --> 0:48:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the receiver market, not for the very very top guys,

0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:55.879
<v Speaker 2>but for the mid level guys, and that money will

0:48:55.880 --> 0:48:59.400
<v Speaker 2>be spent elsewhere. All right, last one demonse.

0:49:00.280 --> 0:49:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Of Halves, Uh, straight up, lying, bro, is not six

0:49:03.560 --> 0:49:04.600
<v Speaker 3>to one.

0:49:04.880 --> 0:49:08.640
<v Speaker 2>See nobody believes me. I don't even what'd you say?

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Six one? Six one?

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean, I mean, if if we were to

0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:17.000
<v Speaker 2>do like, uh, if I were to go to the

0:49:17.040 --> 0:49:20.359
<v Speaker 2>doctor's office and they'd and I they'd take my height

0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:23.479
<v Speaker 2>right now, it's going I'm gonna be taller than six

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:26.880
<v Speaker 2>feet and under like they're either gonna write on the

0:49:26.920 --> 0:49:30.399
<v Speaker 2>sheet six to one or whatever, like six foot and

0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, maybe they do in centimeters or whatever,

0:49:32.600 --> 0:49:34.799
<v Speaker 2>that's what it is. And again I'm now here. Now

0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm turned for today, I'm defending myself on how tall

0:49:37.719 --> 0:49:41.279
<v Speaker 2>I am because it is my single insecurity. And by

0:49:41.320 --> 0:49:44.439
<v Speaker 2>the way, it was never an insecurity but my old

0:49:44.480 --> 0:49:48.319
<v Speaker 2>TV partner, God love him, Chris Carter. You used to

0:49:48.480 --> 0:49:52.400
<v Speaker 2>joke about how I'm five five, And I think because

0:49:53.280 --> 0:49:57.719
<v Speaker 2>I it was new on TV, it just stuck in

0:49:57.800 --> 0:50:00.960
<v Speaker 2>people's brain and so it's just like that's and then

0:50:01.000 --> 0:50:02.799
<v Speaker 2>maybe they think I give it. And again now I

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:06.120
<v Speaker 2>feel bad because it almost feels like I'm judging short guys,

0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:09.400
<v Speaker 2>which I'm not. It's a weird spot. It's a weird

0:50:10.200 --> 0:50:13.600
<v Speaker 2>singular insecurity that I have. Like I don't care about

0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:15.160
<v Speaker 2>my nose. I don't care about the fact that my

0:50:15.239 --> 0:50:18.359
<v Speaker 2>face is crooked. I don't get Yeah, it's a weird thing.

0:50:18.400 --> 0:50:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't get it. All right, Thank you guys for
