Speaker 2: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Wright Episode two fifty eight.
Speaker 2: I just lost my monitor. I hope we're still gone.
Speaker 2: Do you guys tell me if we're not. But either way,
Speaker 2: we got a lot to Judy Russ. We'll get to
Speaker 2: what missed I caught right now. Russ named Week one
Speaker 2: starter for Pittsburgh. Bailey Zappi to Kansas City. There's not
Speaker 2: a quarterback controversy, guys, and lebron tells Bronni not to
Speaker 2: call him dad in the workplace. None of that is surprising.
Speaker 2: I did the steven A did a funny thing about
Speaker 2: what Lebron should call Bronni, uh, what Bronni should call
Speaker 2: Lebron in the workplace, And he came up with some
Speaker 2: ideas that I think Lebron actually ended up going with.
Speaker 2: But before we get to demons, and before we get
Speaker 2: to the top of the show, let me remind you guys.
Speaker 2: This episode of What's Right with Nick Ride is brought
Speaker 2: to you by Huggies Skin Essentials. Baby's Rejoice, New Huggies

Speaker 2: how are you a week out of football beginning?
Speaker 3: I'm pretty good. I'm feeling amazing stuff this morning. I'm ready.
Speaker 3: I've got my I've got my five picks ready for
Speaker 3: the b block.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I was going to ask you, And
Speaker 2: there I have not reviewed them. I saw that they
Speaker 2: were in the rundown and so then I just like
Speaker 2: scrolled past it quickly because I want to be surprised
Speaker 2: by it. But I like, you got your five picks
Speaker 2: in for the rundown? Oh wow, did you go give
Speaker 2: me a little preview? Did you go like season win
Speaker 2: totals or did you go bigger picture?
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess season win totals in a way
Speaker 3: for most of them, but yeah, it was, it was.
Speaker 3: It was somewhat similar to what we did on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: But uh no, what I mean is like, are you
Speaker 2: doing like super Bowl winner Division winner or are you
Speaker 2: doing like this team win at least nine games?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, both of those. There's one of those in
Speaker 3: and the thing. And I think there's some one season
Speaker 3: prop betting there, which is kind of proper.
Speaker 2: Lord. Yeah, okay, all right, I like that. I listen,
Speaker 2: there is I'm surveying the kind of take in prediction landscape. Okay,
Speaker 2: and let me give credit to somebody before I do
Speaker 2: any criticism. Cousin sal And. I don't know if he's
Speaker 2: going to be right or wrong, but he's at least
Speaker 2: giving himself a chance to have a great prediction year
Speaker 2: because he is following the prediction rules, which is, you
Speaker 2: have to find at least one team that everyone thinks
Speaker 2: is going to be awesome that falls off. You have
Speaker 2: to find at least one team that everyone thinks is
Speaker 2: going to be terrible that shocks people. You have to
Speaker 2: find at least one worse to first. Those things happen
Speaker 2: every single year, and Sal did it. I think I
Speaker 2: did it with mine. Speaking of Sal, I mean, what
Speaker 2: a shot in my ribs when I'm listening to my
Speaker 2: pal Bill Simmons and my pale cousin Sal do their
Speaker 2: over Under podcast, and Bill the podfather says just he's
Speaker 2: giving a take and then says, seemingly out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: and I'm not giving a hot take just to get
Speaker 2: aggregated like Nick Wright. And then he's like, gives a
Speaker 2: very half hearted sorry Nick, and then keeps it moving.
Speaker 2: I mean, I the that's point what I would call
Speaker 2: not only uncalled for, but unfounded. And so I'm you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna reach out to Bill uh and
Speaker 2: I'm sure. I mean, it's my feelings aren't hurt. I
Speaker 2: just I would like to know what he's talking about.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm the op. It's the opposite. I
Speaker 2: don't even I I don't even tweet out clips from
Speaker 2: the show that often. I the I'm very I'm not
Speaker 2: as online as many and I mean people can say
Speaker 2: I've had some, you know, hot takes in the past,
Speaker 2: but the hottest ones have come true. That's not I
Speaker 2: guess you could say me picking the Bears to go
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl is, you know, but I'm not
Speaker 2: trying to get aggregated for that. The me not believing
Speaker 2: in the Philadelphia Eagles, I guess is my hottest take
Speaker 2: of this offseason. They were the worst team of football
Speaker 2: for two months. So the now, the bright side is
Speaker 2: it will probably be the entry point to me making
Speaker 2: my long weighted debut on the BS the Bill Simmons podcast,
Speaker 2: because that's long overdue. Wilds goes on all the time.
Speaker 2: Bill and I are quite friendly, and now you know
Speaker 2: he has to let me come on and defend myself.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like, like no choice there, It's
Speaker 2: only right, and so I'll reach out. It's early on
Speaker 2: the West coast, so I heard it this morning. I'm
Speaker 2: listening playing. I got up at six am, do a
Speaker 2: little workout, play a game of college football. And while
Speaker 2: I'm playing college football, I'm listening to the Simmons and
Speaker 2: Salover Unders podcast and Annual Tradition and I and I
Speaker 2: get and I just a total drive by.
Speaker 3: Shot to that type of thing happens, like do you
Speaker 3: is it like your summing kind of dropper?
Speaker 2: Well, I was just shocked. I was just shocked. Like
Speaker 2: the it's always weird hearing your name referenced on something
Speaker 2: that you're listening to, you know what I mean, without
Speaker 2: knowing it had happened. I assume, like this just draw
Speaker 2: that podcast dropped either this morning or yesterday. I assume
Speaker 2: at some point today, the internet will pick it up,
Speaker 2: and you know what I mean, the the like that'll
Speaker 2: be there'll be a story somewhere. Yeah exactly. I mean,
Speaker 2: but Bill and I are cool and friends. But uh
Speaker 2: but I so, I It's not like I had any
Speaker 2: heads up, nobody had text me or anything. Uh and
Speaker 2: so yeah, so am I. Uh so I'm excited to
Speaker 2: I will say this real quick. Early in my TV career,
Speaker 2: I was listening to actually Bill's podcast and Chuck Klosterman,
Speaker 2: who's one of my favorite writers ever and uh just
Speaker 2: a really smart, unique guy. He goes on with Bill
Speaker 2: once or twice a year and has for almost twenty years.
Speaker 2: And I've only at this point been on TV for
Speaker 2: like two years. And they're talking Jordan Lebron and Closterman
Speaker 2: goes to Bill. He was like, do you know that
Speaker 2: Nick Wright guy who's always talking about Lebron and I'm
Speaker 2: just listening. No one has told me it happened, and
Speaker 2: that to me was like one of the coolest moments.
Speaker 2: I was like, I love this guy. I've listened to
Speaker 2: this guy since I was a kid, and they were
Speaker 2: you know, complimentary or nice there. But yeah, so okay,
Speaker 2: now to the things that actually matter. I don't even
Speaker 2: know how.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 2: The reason I got on this topic was there's a
Speaker 2: lot of chalky predictions be given your fourteen playoff teams,
Speaker 2: and it's like the twelve Vegas favorites plus the one
Speaker 2: you know, your only team that is, let me find
Speaker 2: a good example of it, like your most out there pick,
Speaker 2: this team missed and is now gonna make it as
Speaker 2: the Jets or the Bengals those If your goal is
Speaker 2: to just do okay with season predictions, that's fine. If
Speaker 2: your goal is to nail it, then you have to
Speaker 2: be more ambitious, just ward to the wise, because if
Speaker 2: you know what, I don't need to beat around the
Speaker 2: bush anymore. I've been wildly disappointed with Bruce picks. They're
Speaker 2: just all the favorites. They're just all the favorites. All
Speaker 2: the teams that were good last year are good again.
Speaker 2: There's almost known. The only new playoff teams are the
Speaker 2: Jets and the Bengals, and today I'm sure he's gonna
Speaker 2: pick the Falcons. There's no worse to first, there's no
Speaker 2: this team. Everyone thinks it's gonna be awesome falls off.
Speaker 2: It's just very very well. I mean, I gotta tell you,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna you know what here is. Brew
Speaker 2: doesn't listen to the pod, at least I don't think, so,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna reveal it. Today's Thursday. So we do
Speaker 2: the bud list. He's under dress list, and I'm putting
Speaker 2: his picks on the butd list because they're the picks
Speaker 2: that I mean. Just you know what I mean, A
Speaker 2: as the Internet would say, a casual would make. Oh,
Speaker 2: these teams were good last year, they're all gonna be
Speaker 2: good again. These teams stunk last year, they're all gonna
Speaker 2: stink again. I don't And so, yeah, he's being too safe.
Speaker 2: He's being too safe, tell you that much right now?
Speaker 2: Too safe? All right to mon say, let's get to
Speaker 2: the show, all right.
Speaker 3: So, over one hundred credible NFL players are asked as
Speaker 3: to a poll on quarterbacks in the league. And a
Speaker 3: lot of folks are Most of the folks are saying
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is easily the best quarterback in the league now.
Speaker 3: But was surprising, yep was a lot of them were
Speaker 3: also saying that Patrick Mahomes is already the goat. So
Speaker 3: is that surprising to you or not?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was surprised he got There were ninety
Speaker 2: two goat votes. It looks like Brady got eighty five.
Speaker 2: Mahomes got seven, and I understand that's not a big number,
Speaker 2: but the fact that it's not zero is noteworthy. And
Speaker 2: so it was surprising to me because right now I
Speaker 2: believe both of these things wholeheartedly, and I don't think
Speaker 2: they're in conflict. Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback ever
Speaker 2: and Tom Brady is the goat. I think Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 2: plays the position at the highest level anyone's ever played it.
Speaker 2: I don't think there is a single thing Brady could
Speaker 2: do that Mahomes can't. I think he has all the intangibles,
Speaker 2: all the tangibles, and a couple more tangibles than Tom had.
Speaker 2: I also think Tom is the goat because it's not
Speaker 2: just about you know, basically what your Madden rating would be.
Speaker 2: It also has to be about how long you did
Speaker 2: it for what your accomplishments are. The reason I found
Speaker 2: this intriguing is I actually now believe if there are
Speaker 2: people who are already willing to say no, he's the goat.
Speaker 2: I think that if they pull off the three peat,
Speaker 2: it might be fifty to fifty. I think if they
Speaker 2: pull off the three peat, he might there might already
Speaker 2: be half a football America saying no, he's the goat.
Speaker 2: He's not just the most talented, he's the goat. Because
Speaker 2: keep in mind, what if we just operate in the
Speaker 2: universe of if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl this year,
Speaker 2: what that will mean is this, through seven years of
Speaker 2: this guy's career, well eight years of his career, but
Speaker 2: seven years playing, he was in the Final four all
Speaker 2: seven times for an organization that in the fifty years
Speaker 2: before he got there made the Final four one time.
Speaker 2: He was in the Super Bowl five times for an
Speaker 2: organization that in the fifty years before he got there
Speaker 2: was in the Super Bowl zero times. He won the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl four times in seven years for an organization
Speaker 2: that obviously had won zero in the previous fifty and
Speaker 2: he pulled off a three peat in a league where
Speaker 2: no one had pulled off a back to back in
Speaker 2: twenty years, that's what he would have done. It would
Speaker 2: mean that through seven years of the guy's career, his
Speaker 2: worst season ever was twelve wins a conference championship loss
Speaker 2: in overtime. It would also mean that his playoff record
Speaker 2: gets run all the way up to eighteen and three,
Speaker 2: and he would be second all time in postseason victories,
Speaker 2: behind just Brady. And it would also mean that Mahomes
Speaker 2: has won Super Bowls with every style of team one
Speaker 2: could win with. And so if they win it this year,
Speaker 2: I do think, man, that people are just some people
Speaker 2: will still go to Tom's seven and not just Tom seven,
Speaker 2: but they'll also go to the Yes, correct, they'll go
Speaker 2: to them. But so that's the other part of it
Speaker 2: that I do wonder about in this regard. I think
Speaker 2: right after it happened, people looked at it like, man,
Speaker 2: all Brady beat prime Patrick. But I do what I
Speaker 2: wonder is if history will look at it more like
Speaker 2: Brady's prime was. The year after he beat Patrick in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, he was second in MVP voting, so
Speaker 2: Brady's prime was still going and top prime. Brady beat
Speaker 2: young Patrick. I wonder if the narrative will flip because
Speaker 2: if if Patrick all of a sudden wins three straight
Speaker 2: and Brady beat him twice in his first three seasons
Speaker 2: as a starter, I think people will say, oh, well,
Speaker 2: Mahomes wasn't as good as he got to when Brady
Speaker 2: was playing. Now that I right now, and like he
Speaker 2: didn't yet know how to win, and Brady had all
Speaker 2: all of this. Now what is again? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's probably a little bit of both, but
Speaker 2: it is it will it will be less of a
Speaker 2: kill shot because when when Brady won that Super Bowl
Speaker 2: in Tampa, I was on TV before and after and
Speaker 2: I said, Man, the saddest part about this is it
Speaker 2: might mean that Patrick can't run him down because now
Speaker 2: the Super Bowls are seven to one. We don't know,
Speaker 2: you know, if he's gonna ever really have the chance
Speaker 2: to do it. But the getting a phone call from Scranton, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's Joe Biden. But but the fact
Speaker 2: that since Tom beat Patrick, what Patrick's gone out and done.
Speaker 2: If he ends up what is in the next four
Speaker 2: years pull off a three peat without Tyreek Hill, it'll
Speaker 2: and that's the other the last point, real quick before
Speaker 2: you get to your follow ups. The other thing is,
Speaker 2: in a weird way, Tyreek continuing to go and set
Speaker 2: these records and Mahomes winning super Bowls, I think only
Speaker 2: adds to the legend. And so the if and so
Speaker 2: there's just a lot. There's a lot here that is
Speaker 2: at the doorstep for Patrick and if through seven years
Speaker 2: as a starter, and Brady obviously played forever and was unbelievable.
Speaker 2: But part of Brady's legend is fourteen conference championship appearances,
Speaker 2: ten Super Bowl appearances, incomprehensible seven rings. If through seven years,
Speaker 2: Mahomes has half the conference championship appearances, half the Super Bowls,
Speaker 2: and more than half the rings. Well, you're starting to
Speaker 2: build quite the case.
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, So Tom Brady was f One
Speaker 3: of the producers said that Tom Brady was forty three
Speaker 3: at his prime quote unquote when he played Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Well, so I think they're there. It's a legit question
Speaker 2: that as far as like was he And the point
Speaker 2: that I'm making is, I don't think in the moment
Speaker 2: people thought he was. But I think when history looks
Speaker 2: back on it, what they will see is this. Tom
Speaker 2: Brady in twenty twenty beat Patrick Mahomes to win a
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. The next year, Tom Brady led the NFL
Speaker 2: in passing yards, in passing touchdowns, his team went thirteen
Speaker 2: and four, and he finished second in MVP voting to
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. So, statistically speaking, could the most yards Brady
Speaker 2: ever threw in a season came after he beat Mahomes
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. The second most touchdowns Brady ever
Speaker 2: threw in a season came after he beat Mahomes in
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. So it's just, I mean, that is
Speaker 2: a testament to Brady's greatness, But there is an element
Speaker 2: of I mean, if the year after beating Patrick they
Speaker 2: won thirteen games, he threw for fifty three hundred yards
Speaker 2: and almost one league in MVP, it's very hard to
Speaker 2: say that the year before he did all that he
Speaker 2: was some diminished, lesser player. That's all I'm saying. All right, now,
Speaker 2: let's get to the follow up.
Speaker 3: So yeah, Josh Allen, who was considered Patrick's biggest rival
Speaker 3: at one point, was voted the most overrated quarterback. Do
Speaker 3: you think this is the one of the bigger gaps
Speaker 3: that we've ever seen between this the first best quarterback
Speaker 3: and second best.
Speaker 2: So I thought that was a really interesting question the
Speaker 2: producers put in there, because I hadn't thought of that
Speaker 2: that concept. But now that it's out, now that they
Speaker 2: put it to me, my answer is almost, oh, yeah, definitely,
Speaker 2: because with Brady there was early on there was Peyton
Speaker 2: Manning and Peyton Brady Brady Peyton was a real debate
Speaker 2: for almost the entirety of Peyton's career. Once Peyton was gone,
Speaker 2: there was Rogers and Rogers, Brady Brady Rogers, not as
Speaker 2: far as who had the better career, but who was
Speaker 2: better in the moment was a real debate. In the nineties,
Speaker 2: Steve Young, Brett Farv, Troy. I don't think, in my
Speaker 2: opinion Troy was not quite at that level, but Young
Speaker 2: and Farv that was a real debate back and forth.
Speaker 2: In the eighties, Marino was the best, but well, Montana
Speaker 2: is there, So I guess Montana is probably the best,
Speaker 2: but some people I kind of Marina is so good
Speaker 2: and always there. Seventies you have Bradshaw and Stall back.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: So the answer to that question that I had never
Speaker 2: thought of is yeah, it is. Because here's the thing,
Speaker 2: there is not consensus on who's second, and there is
Speaker 2: universal consensus on who's first. Right now, who's the second
Speaker 2: best quarterback in football? The following people would get votes Lamar,
Speaker 2: Josh Burrow, Some people might There are a few people
Speaker 2: that would say Rogers. There are a few people that
Speaker 2: would say Stroud, and there are a few people that
Speaker 2: would say party. There's there to me, Josh would get
Speaker 2: the most votes. What Lamar and Joe would be third
Speaker 2: and fourth? What do you?
Speaker 3: What do you say? That was really funny people would
Speaker 3: say party. I thought you were gonna say, like Jalen
Speaker 3: Hurts or something, that's what he's saying that.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I mean maybe I think there are man,
Speaker 2: I think there are some people that would be like, well,
Speaker 2: I don't know, look at his stats, look at his wins.
Speaker 2: Who cares where he was drafted? Again, it's so all right,
Speaker 2: take party out of it. But there's five guys. Do
Speaker 2: you agree that some people might say C J. Stroud.
Speaker 2: It's not a lot, but some people, Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's fair, Go ahead. Yeah, I think Greg.
Speaker 2: Jennings did say it. I think Greg Jennings did say it. Actually,
Speaker 2: now that I think about it, and we know that Lamar,
Speaker 2: Josh and Burrow would all get votes for the second back. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so so I just yeah, I think the GAP's
Speaker 2: about as big as possible. All right, let's go to
Speaker 2: the Cowboys and ceedee lamb.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so ceedee lamb. Finally got his extension, and Jerry
Speaker 3: Jones could not wait to get on the podium or
Speaker 3: get on a mic wherever he was doing this at
Speaker 3: He said, yeah, hell no, there's nobody that could effing
Speaker 3: come in here and do all the contracts and be
Speaker 3: a GM any better than I can. So luckily we
Speaker 3: have a GM in the making in you. Do you
Speaker 3: think that you could do a better job than Jerry
Speaker 3: Jones at being a GM.
Speaker 2: At the contract stuff?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the contract situation.
Speaker 2: By the way, shout out Clarence Hill. He has a
Speaker 2: new website. I want to give it credit because he's
Speaker 2: gotten some amazing Jerry Jones quotes lately and some amazing interviews.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, is it Clarence Hill? Hold on, I want
Speaker 2: to make sure that I'm giving proper credit here. I
Speaker 2: thought it was Clarence Hill. I'm gonna be very embarrassed
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong about this. I gotta find it real quick. Uh,
Speaker 2: because a lot of these Jerry Jones quotes that uh
Speaker 2: that needs we've been using on TV. Uh are let
Speaker 2: me see if this is what? I can't find it now.
Speaker 2: The A lot of the Jerry Jones quotes that we've
Speaker 2: used on TV are from him or from his new website.
Speaker 2: I hold on Clarence. I want to give credit because
Speaker 2: this matters cowboys website. I think it's like all Dallas
Speaker 2: is what it's called. But now I can't find it. Producers,
Speaker 2: Can you guys please try to find what this website
Speaker 2: is and then put it in the thing. I think
Speaker 2: it's like a L L D l LS. But whatever,
Speaker 2: he's starting his own venture is the point, which is
Speaker 2: why I want to give him credit. Uh. And so
Speaker 2: I but I but when I go to his Twitter bio,
Speaker 2: it says, okay, so it is, so, thank you very Dusty.
Speaker 2: Also just sent it to me yet And I did
Speaker 2: have the website right, a L L D l LS
Speaker 2: dot com. Uh, And it's a subscription website. And but
Speaker 2: am I wrong that it's Clarence Hills who knows man? Uh? Okay,
Speaker 2: it is his That's what I thought, Dusty. Thank you
Speaker 2: for the help, producers, Thank you for the help. Point
Speaker 2: is he keeps getting these interviews with Jerry Jones where
Speaker 2: Jerry talks about Dak's contract where Jerry dropped seven F
Speaker 2: bombs as in this so credit to him. Good for him.
Speaker 2: If you're a Cowboys fan, check it out. Support local
Speaker 2: and independent media. Pay for subscriptions, don't share passwords. Just
Speaker 2: come on, folks. It's like six bucks a month and
Speaker 2: a lot of these places help folks out. Subscribe to substacks.
Speaker 2: Do all that. Just do it. Okay, Now to the
Speaker 2: point that I was trying to make, could I do
Speaker 2: the contracts better? Yeah, of course, it's so terrible. I mean,
Speaker 2: by the way, they're screwing up the Mica thing right now,
Speaker 2: right now, they're screwing up the Mica thing. You know
Speaker 2: why because I know what it would take to have
Speaker 2: signed Micah Parsons this offseason. It's very simple. You go
Speaker 2: to Nick Bosa's deal. You see it's five for one seventy.
Speaker 2: So you tell Micah five for one seventy five. That's it.
Speaker 2: Now you're done. We can move on thirty five million
Speaker 2: a year, you break the record, or maybe five for
Speaker 2: one seventy six, so he can say he's ahead of
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson on average per year. That's fine, and because
Speaker 2: Mike has got two years left on his deal, you
Speaker 2: can spread that money out more. Instead, he's waiting, and
Speaker 2: now next off season, Bosa's gonna get jumped and we're
Speaker 2: gonna have this protracted nonsense with Micah, just like we
Speaker 2: just had with Ceedee Lamb, Ceedee Lamb. If they would
Speaker 2: have done this a year ago when they could have,
Speaker 2: they could have gotten Ceedee Lamb for four for one
Speaker 2: twenty instead it was four for one thirty.
Speaker 3: Do it at that time?
Speaker 2: Now? Is that the biggest right? It's so they're bad
Speaker 2: at this. They are bad at this. They're good at
Speaker 2: drafting and they're good at marketing. They are bad at
Speaker 2: the contracts part. And there's yeah, so could I do
Speaker 2: it better? Yes, of course I could do it better.
Speaker 2: I mean there's there's but that's not a compliment to me.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of folks that could do this better.
Speaker 2: What's the follow up?
Speaker 3: So, yeah, Dak and Mica are still waiting for their extensions,
Speaker 3: even though Jerry said, we don't need to get it
Speaker 3: done right now. But Dak's backup, Trey Lance, has thrown
Speaker 3: five picks in the preseason games. Does that alter the
Speaker 3: plan for Jerry at all, do you think?
Speaker 2: So? Listen, here's what I think. I think Dak's got
Speaker 2: to hold his water for another nine days, and then
Speaker 2: he's going to shock people at the type of contract
Speaker 2: he gets to sign in the offseason. Maybe with Dallas,
Speaker 2: maybe with the Giants with Bill Belichick as his coach,
Speaker 2: Maybe with the Raiders with Bill Belichick as his coach,
Speaker 2: Maybe with the Steelers with Mike Tomlin as his coach.
Speaker 2: But either way Dak is They're not signing Dak before
Speaker 2: the year. I have been striden an adamant on this
Speaker 2: for months. This is either going to be Demanse a
Speaker 2: Classic two or a Classic three if Dak agrees to
Speaker 2: a deal with the Cowboys before the season. I was
Speaker 2: loud and wrong about it for months. But I won't
Speaker 2: be because he won't. And when I say people are
Speaker 2: going to be shocked at the deal he signs, I
Speaker 2: am saying I think Dak is going to get because
Speaker 2: keep in mind, players want shorter deals, not longer, because
Speaker 2: they want to hit free agency again. I think Dak
Speaker 2: could sign three years, two hundred million dollars. I think
Speaker 2: that is on the board. I think that if it's
Speaker 2: a four year deal. We're talking four years, two hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty five million dollars. We're talking sixty seven million
Speaker 2: ish dollars a year for Dak Prescott. And that's because
Speaker 2: last time around, Jerry waited and puttsed around and then
Speaker 2: Dak got a no trade and a no tag. So
Speaker 2: that's what I think is gonna happen. All right, Let's
Speaker 2: move on to the Niners and the Bengals.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So two teams that give the Chiefs the most
Speaker 3: competition have some blaring weak spots right now. San Francisco.
Speaker 2: The loss of the Niners in Patrick Mahomes' career. For
Speaker 2: the record, there's no team we own more than San Francis.
Speaker 3: This is still give them.
Speaker 2: You can't give them trouble. I mean, I mean, I
Speaker 2: mean the problems. Yeah, not tripping over the confetti after
Speaker 2: we play them. I mean, give me a don't don't
Speaker 2: put the don't put the Niners in that category. Patrick
Speaker 2: was just for the record, Patrick Mahomes against the Niners
Speaker 2: in his career has a one to twenty three passer
Speaker 2: rating in the regular season, with six touchdowns and averages
Speaker 2: three hundred and seventy yards per game. And in the
Speaker 2: postseason has played them twice, won MVP of the Game
Speaker 2: both times, and won the Super Bowl. The Bengals are
Speaker 2: a different story, But go ahead, it's just an yes.
Speaker 3: The Niners problems don't matter, but they have I you
Speaker 3: calding out and Trent Williams is holding out as well. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then meanwhile in Cincinnati, Burrow's health is still a
Speaker 3: question mark and Jamar Chase doesn't still doesn't have a deal.
Speaker 3: Who should be more worried headed into the season about
Speaker 3: these problems.
Speaker 2: For the season, San Francisco for the long term, Cincinnati?
Speaker 2: So for the season. Listen, Trent Williams on my top
Speaker 2: ten players in the league. I had him number two.
Speaker 2: I he's a legendary player that the team has to have. Right.
Speaker 2: The Brandon Ayuk thing got a little more interesting. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys saw about an hour ago
Speaker 2: Cleveland converted like forty million of Deshaun's salary into signing
Speaker 2: bonus to free up cap space for this year. Now,
Speaker 2: you can roll cap space over, but why would you
Speaker 2: free up cap space forty million of it for this year?
Speaker 2: Free agency's over seasons about to begin Unless let me
Speaker 2: do my Brian windhors what's going on in Cleveland. Unless
Speaker 2: you think the Brandon Ayuk trade, you could be back
Speaker 2: in that business, back in the Brandon Ayuk market. So
Speaker 2: the Niners have to get this taken care of for
Speaker 2: this year. The Bengals, I'm worried that Mike Brown is
Speaker 2: gonna Mike Brown Demond's eight. The Bengals, when I say
Speaker 2: they are a notoriously cheap franchise, they used to take
Speaker 2: money out of the player's paychecks for their jockstraps, for towels,
Speaker 2: the gatorade machine in the locker room demands, and the
Speaker 2: soda machine. You had to put a quarters into it
Speaker 2: and a dollar. It wasn't just like, hey, you're at
Speaker 2: the facility. It's like, no, we're gonna get this money too.
Speaker 2: They in order to pay for Joe Burrow's contract, they
Speaker 2: sold the naming rights to the stadium, and the fact
Speaker 2: that they won't pay Jamar Chase is baffling. It's just
Speaker 2: I understood them not paying Higgins, but that was just
Speaker 2: so they could pay Chase. I thought, So, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: worried about the Bengals long term. I think they're gonna
Speaker 2: be excellent this year, but long term, the Bengals could
Speaker 2: go back to being the Bengals, And I'm worried about
Speaker 2: the Niners short term because they have to have Trent
Speaker 2: Williams and the Ayuk. Things getting messy, all right.
Speaker 3: Next A Jacoby Brissett has won the quarterback battle in
Speaker 3: New England. We don't know how long that's gonna last.
Speaker 3: Because Gerard Mayo said that Drake Mayo played him in
Speaker 3: the preseason. Meanwhile, Bo Nix is the quarterback one in Denver.
Speaker 3: You said on Tuesday he's gonna trick people in the
Speaker 3: think and that he's actually good. How likely do you
Speaker 3: think it is that may and Nix will by the
Speaker 3: end of the year end up in the same conversation
Speaker 3: as Kayle Williams and Daniels.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I don't think it's likely at all. Now.
Speaker 2: I think Drake may eventually could, but they the Patriots.
Speaker 2: If you're so terrified that your offensive line is so
Speaker 2: bad that you can't play the better quarterback, then you
Speaker 2: should have traded the pick and drafted offensive lineman. I
Speaker 2: just should have. You should have rebuilt the team, made
Speaker 2: the trade with the Giants because to not play Drake
Speaker 2: may because you're like Oh, it's negligent because the guy's
Speaker 2: gonna get injured behind our terrible offensive line. That you
Speaker 2: can't go about business that way. I like Jaden Daniels
Speaker 2: as a talent and as a player. I'm incredibly worried
Speaker 2: about him getting hurt. I know, you think I'm being
Speaker 2: silly on this. He is. His frame concerns me flatly.
Speaker 2: I will take note. This is one of those ones demons.
Speaker 2: I hope to be wrong because if I'm right too,
Speaker 2: it means this kid suffered a significant injury. And so
Speaker 2: I hope I'm wrong. And I'm relatively high on Washington
Speaker 2: this year because when he plays, I think he'll be good.
Speaker 2: I think he's a really good player. I just think
Speaker 2: he's gonna get beat up, is my concern.
Speaker 3: Let's see, like, oh, we don't want to put our
Speaker 3: good quarterback behind the offensive line. But it's like, hey,
Speaker 3: we got the fire. You know.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: I mean, like if you.
Speaker 2: Imagine that in another walk of life, Like yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean it is a wild, wild thing to be Like,
Speaker 2: we think it's a little unsafe, so you go do it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're I mean, if you're Jacoby Brissette,
Speaker 2: as Don Draper would say, that's what the money's for.
Speaker 2: But geez all right, at.
Speaker 3: The aside from Caleb, who do you think making the
Speaker 3: super Who do you think is going to make the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl? For some insane reason? How would you rank
Speaker 3: the ricky quarterbacks?
Speaker 2: Oh aside from Caleb, who I think is going to
Speaker 2: make the Super Bowl? How would listen? I would rank
Speaker 2: them as far as ability? Uh, in the exact order
Speaker 2: they were drafted, Actually, Caleb, Jaden, Drake, Penix, McCarthy, Nicks.
Speaker 2: As how I would rank them as far as where
Speaker 2: I would have drafted them. It would I would flip
Speaker 2: Jaden and uh, what you mean? Jaden and Drake and no, no, no,
Speaker 2: and Drake because I like the Because of my concerns
Speaker 2: about Drake's frame, I don't think Nix is a long
Speaker 2: term NFL starter. Panix I worry because of his age
Speaker 2: and all his knee surgeries. But he is a dynamic player.
Speaker 2: And JJ McCarthy to me, is just solid. He's just
Speaker 2: gonna be fine. I don't think he's gonna be great.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be fine. He was very good
Speaker 2: in the preseason, all right, up. Hilarious you're not gonna be.
Speaker 2: I have a great US open story that's not even
Speaker 2: about tennis. I'll tell you that story next What's Right.

Speaker 2: once again had to Huggies dot Com to learn more.
Speaker 2: All right, demand, let's get to one of your favorite
Speaker 2: parts of the year, the tennis corner. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yes, so the US Open is underway, and it looks
Speaker 3: like you stop buyo with some buddies to check it out.
Speaker 3: So we all know you were gonna be a ball boy.
Speaker 3: So how difficult was it to watch on the sideline
Speaker 3: and not be on the court?
Speaker 2: Well, I listen, so a few things. I watched an
Speaker 2: outer court match on like court seventeen ladies match with
Speaker 2: some lesser players, and I gotta tell you, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know it was court seventeen, but one of
Speaker 2: the outer courts I can. I was, even in my
Speaker 2: injured state, I was a better ballperson than some of
Speaker 2: the ball people out there. They didn't know how to
Speaker 2: show them. They didn't have the balls they were the
Speaker 2: roles had bounces. They it wasn't so I next year
Speaker 2: I could do it if I you know, if I
Speaker 2: come in in shape and uninjured, there's no question about it.
Speaker 2: But I So here's the deal. So every year, my
Speaker 2: buddy Mark Carmon from Chicago, who tried out for the
Speaker 2: US Open ballperson stuff with me flies in from Chicago,
Speaker 2: goes to the US Open for multiple days. Danny Parkins,
Speaker 2: my good friend from Chicago but who now lives here.
Speaker 2: See mornings on FS one and Breakfast Ball. He had
Speaker 2: never been to the US Open. So Tuesday night, he
Speaker 2: and I I drive out to Flushing. I park in
Speaker 2: my secret US Open parking spot that I will never
Speaker 2: reveal to anyone, but it is so elite. It is free, legal,
Speaker 2: always available, and a six minute walk from the gate
Speaker 2: and you avoid all the traffic. And I'll tell no
Speaker 2: one about it. I'll tell you where it is because
Speaker 2: then I'll dumb luck. Six years ago. So here's the deal.
Speaker 2: Six years ago, I found this spot and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is perfect, and I took a
Speaker 2: picture of the storefront where it's the spot's right in
Speaker 2: front of. And then every year come to the US Open,
Speaker 2: I search on my phone for that picture, type the
Speaker 2: name of that store into maps and navigate there, and
Speaker 2: every year, multiple times a year, the spot's just waiting
Speaker 2: for me. It's amazing. But regardless, Uh, so we go
Speaker 2: and we haven't bought tickets and it's like now it's
Speaker 2: like seven to ten, and the late match starts at seven,
Speaker 2: the Alcarez match, and so I so on the way
Speaker 2: in we buy tickets, and because it's Alcorrez man in
Speaker 2: the US Open has been live this year, the Algoriz
Speaker 2: match is it's still like two grand a ticket for
Speaker 2: the great seats. I'm like, well, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2: And then if I'm not doing the great seats, then
Speaker 2: I'll just sit upper deck center, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: very high, but a good view center. And those tickets,
Speaker 2: because the matches started are down from they were like
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty bucks earlier in the day when
Speaker 2: I looked, now they're down to half that, like around
Speaker 2: one oh five to one ten. So I buy two
Speaker 2: upper deck middle seats and go in. Meet karm at
Speaker 2: that match on the outer courts that he was watching.
Speaker 2: We watched that for a minute. Walk over to Alcarez.
Speaker 2: Late in the first set, we're sitting there. Second set,
Speaker 2: this kid from Australia who's never won anything, looks like
Speaker 2: he's going to win the set, and I'm like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, this is gonna be a real match. Now.
Speaker 2: Now it's one to one, it's going to be one
Speaker 2: to one, and we're gonna get at least a four setter,
Speaker 2: maybe a five setter. Alcarez is gonna have to try,
Speaker 2: Like this is amazing. Now it's like eight fifteen, eight ten,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I wonder if any of those elite
Speaker 2: seats are still available, and you can't just sneak down
Speaker 2: into him, because the stadium's two packed and they're check
Speaker 2: tickets and you can't like just like check see what
Speaker 2: tickets still available and then just go down there. So
Speaker 2: I look and four throw baseline right where the service
Speaker 2: line is. Four throw tickets that were two grand apiece
Speaker 2: earlier in the day are online still for sale, and
Speaker 2: now they're two hundred and fifty dollars each. And I'm like, man,
Speaker 2: because the guy they think it's going to go down
Speaker 2: to zero. So I did what I think is an
Speaker 2: unprecedented move. I bought tickets for a sporting event while
Speaker 2: at the sporting event with tickets I had already purchased,
Speaker 2: and I bought me and Danny and Karm tickets to
Speaker 2: go down low just so we could have better seats
Speaker 2: to watch. So that picture I took is from our seats,
Speaker 2: Like I don't know if we can put it back up,
Speaker 2: but these are great seats. That's we didn't like. Move down,
Speaker 2: that's where we were sitting. It was like five hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: Now here's the bad beat of it. I will tell
Speaker 2: you something. So this guy whoever was selling them had
Speaker 2: four seats available, and I bought two cause I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy you know, I'm gonna buy two. He's
Speaker 2: only selling them in pairs two or four. I was like,
Speaker 2: and if we have two, then probably karm can walk
Speaker 2: down with us whatever it is. But I'm buying two.
Speaker 2: But I'm in a stadium. You know how the Internet
Speaker 2: and Wi Fi in stadiums kind of suck. So I
Speaker 2: try to buy two and the app tells me, you know,
Speaker 2: didn't go through. I'm damn, So I try again. It
Speaker 2: goes through. I'm like, yes, perfect, wait for the little
Speaker 2: the email from Ticketmaster got it, claim the tickets, boom,
Speaker 2: walk down. Now we're in the seats, set threes about
Speaker 2: to start. Alcarez ended up rolling anyway, like this is awesome,
Speaker 2: drinking Honeyduces with two of my best friends. Great seats.
Speaker 2: Is Stiller is sitting right there, former NBA guy David Wesley.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at I'm like, I know that guy, I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's David Wesley. He's there. We're just we're in the mix.
Speaker 2: We're right there. It's the US Open. I didn't look
Speaker 2: at my phone. I have a new email. Two more
Speaker 2: tickets from Ticketmaster, so I bought four accidents. So those tickets,
Speaker 2: I'm like, those tickets, I'm like, I'm not claiming them.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to buy them, I didn't try to
Speaker 2: buy them. I'm not claiming them. And so yesterday morning
Speaker 2: I did a little chat with seat geek. I'm like, listen,
Speaker 2: look at the details here. I tried to buy two tickets.
Speaker 2: It was ninety minutes after the event had started. It
Speaker 2: didn't like it. It's somehow you guys sold me four.
Speaker 2: And the guy and he was like, can you I
Speaker 2: was like, I never even claimed them. I never accepted them.
Speaker 2: And the guy was super nice and he was like, listen,
Speaker 2: our policy is we cannot issue you a refund because
Speaker 2: you know whatever, you make sure you don't have him.
Speaker 2: He's like, but we can issue you a promo code
Speaker 2: for the exact amount. So but I and I use
Speaker 2: seat geek all the time. So that's as good, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean to me, it's as good as
Speaker 2: a refund. So they basically gave me a promo code
Speaker 2: so on my next order I can use, by the way,
Speaker 2: unpaid endorsement for them. I guess shout out to them.
Speaker 2: It was a good customer service. Yeah, I wasn't scamming him.
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I wasn't trying to do anything tricky. I
Speaker 2: was really just trying to buy two tickets. But because
Speaker 2: the internet and stadiums is bad, it said it didn't
Speaker 2: go through, but I guess it did, so I clicked
Speaker 2: it again and then whatever it is. But uh, but yeah,
Speaker 2: so it was great and I'm going again Sunday. Son. Oh,
Speaker 2: this is one other thing about the tennis corner, and
Speaker 2: then we'll move on. KARM was Danny asked was talking
Speaker 2: to Karm and KRM was like, yeah, I got two
Speaker 2: grounds passes, which is like entry too. You can go
Speaker 2: everywhere except for into ash uh from the US Open
Speaker 2: people for the ball Boy tryout. So we got four two.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you got two Tuesday ground passes for the
Speaker 2: try out. And he's like, did you get anything, Nick,
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, yeah, they sent me some tickets too,
Speaker 2: and he's like, what they send you? I'm like what.
Speaker 2: He's like, no, what what did you get? And I
Speaker 2: was like, well, I got four Sunday ash lowers. And
Speaker 2: I could just kind of see the hurt in Karm's
Speaker 2: eyes that like they were like, all right, you get
Speaker 2: this and you get that. But yeah, so I'm going
Speaker 2: against Sunday uh, and then I'll go again next week
Speaker 2: and I'll go three or four times. I love it,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna drink so many honey Deuces and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna it's just so great. Well it's it's gotta be
Speaker 2: there because it's two plus weeks. You can see so
Speaker 2: many things. The food is great, great food, and the
Speaker 2: honey deuce is just the greatest beverage in sports America.
Speaker 2: It's just so delicious. And so it's it's lemonade, vodka
Speaker 2: contro or whatever that's called. And it's got little honeydew
Speaker 2: melon little that looked like tennis balls in it. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's just great. And you get the collectible cup and
Speaker 2: the cup has every winner of the Open since ash
Speaker 2: men and women. I've got thirty of those. Demonse saw
Speaker 2: his mom and I get the dumbest entire like, Demonse,
Speaker 2: I can't even tell this sorry, but this was This was,
Speaker 2: honest to god, I think the closest Demanse has really
Speaker 2: come to using respect for me and reconsidering marriage when
Speaker 2: we've got these like thirty thirty old collectible Honeyduce cups.
Speaker 2: But there were two that were from Serena's last match.
Speaker 2: I'll just tell the story. Screw it. So I spent god,
Speaker 2: honestly probably seven or eight thousand dollars chasing the ghost
Speaker 2: of seeing Serena's final US Open match because I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm going to be there, I'm going to have awesome seats.
Speaker 2: But then she kept winning, so I buy these awesome seats.
Speaker 2: I go, but then she wins, so I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: that's not her last match now, so I do it again,
Speaker 2: and then she wins again, and now the tickets are
Speaker 2: just going up and up and up. But I was there.
Speaker 2: I think she won twice, the lost third match, whatever
Speaker 2: it was, I was there, and I have the cups.
Speaker 2: I have the cups, but all the cups from the
Speaker 2: previous nights they're identical. But I know these are special cups,
Speaker 2: and so I've separated them in our cupboard. And for
Speaker 2: some reason, man, my wife Demanse's mom was like, we're
Speaker 2: putting them together, but these are gonna I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: we're not. I'll put them. I'll put them downstairs if
Speaker 2: you want, I'll put them in the a in a
Speaker 2: locked box. I know. And this is just like stupid
Speaker 2: marriage whatever argument. And we stood in that kitchen and
Speaker 2: argued about this for fifteen minutes. And Demanse was looking
Speaker 2: at me like, man, stand up for yourself, say god,
Speaker 2: damn it, I'm putting these cups where I walk. But
Speaker 2: and he's just sitting there like kind of awkwardly like,
Speaker 2: oh boy, what we're going back and forth about these cups.
Speaker 2: That was so dumb. Oh my god, that was so dumb.
Speaker 2: I still think about that.
Speaker 3: And I feel, right, yeah, let's let's do it. So
Speaker 3: I did five bets, like you said, if we've got
Speaker 3: graphics for them, I'll just go one by one. I've
Speaker 3: got The first bet is Jacksonville to win the AFC
Speaker 3: South at plus two seventy. Really, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: I think I think they'll do it.
Speaker 2: You were gonna go with c J Wow. Ye shocking
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 3: I'm just kind of kind of listening around, you know.
Speaker 3: I think it is a chance that they do take
Speaker 3: a step back, and I don't think that Jacksonville is
Speaker 3: far enough, far enough away as far as like a
Speaker 3: skill standpoint, I think I think it can go either way,
Speaker 3: and I'm comfortable with giving it to Jacksonville and saying
Speaker 3: that Jacksonville will take a step up and Houston will
Speaker 3: take a step back.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's awesome and plus two seventy is good value,
Speaker 2: all right, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Secondly, this is very predictable. I've got a Baltimore to
Speaker 3: win the AFC North that plus one forty five. Love
Speaker 3: that one, okay that that was just a very simple
Speaker 3: one for me. And then bat number three, the one
Speaker 3: that you previously cooked. I hope that Jane and Daniels
Speaker 3: does not get dinged because I have him to win
Speaker 3: Offensive Rookie of the Year at plus six hundred.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a bad bet, Listen, I don't
Speaker 2: think that's a bad bet. I wouldn't bet Caleb to
Speaker 2: win Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 3: Just because I don't want to do that plus.
Speaker 2: One and plus one twenty on an award. It is crazy, yea,
Speaker 2: So no, I don't I don't think that's a bad
Speaker 2: bet at all, and so I like that. I think
Speaker 2: that's a good decent value.
Speaker 3: Four is four and five kind of go together, but
Speaker 3: not at the same time. Kansas City to win the
Speaker 3: AFC at plus three fifty, and then Kansas City it's
Speaker 3: at plus three fifty, and then Kansas City to win
Speaker 3: the Super Bowls at plus five fifty.
Speaker 2: I mean, another great bet.
Speaker 3: And this says when AFC at plus three fifty, I
Speaker 3: think it's to win the AFC Championship. I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it means.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I see, because it didn't attach to the
Speaker 3: North Southeast whatever. Yeah, okay, yeah, so.
Speaker 2: I not the division to win the whole conference.
Speaker 3: Those are the five season bets right there that I love.
Speaker 3: We're sticking to them. I think they're all going to cash.
Speaker 3: Jane Daniels to win Office Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2: Is six to one. Is hard. It's hard to win,
Speaker 2: but but I like it. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 2: a very proud father right now. I mean, you're betting
Speaker 2: on the Jags and the Chiefs, putting your hard earned
Speaker 2: money on it. I mean, I feel like I've talked
Speaker 2: you very well. I mean, this is we're gonna be aligned.
Speaker 2: I mean that is that's delightful. All right, Let's do
Speaker 2: the most annoying people in media and then move on.
Speaker 3: So the most important election of our lifetime is upon us. Uh.
Speaker 3: We are, of course talking about the spuns of most
Speaker 3: annoying people in football media bracket. I myself am honored
Speaker 3: to not be seated on here, but you were on there,
Speaker 3: And why do you think that people should vote for
Speaker 3: you for this prestigious award?
Speaker 2: Well, well, so that's not even what I so. I
Speaker 2: it is now a real gauntlet that I'm gonna have
Speaker 2: to go through because so uh, I crushed my rival
Speaker 2: Mina Chimes in round one. I then easily dispatched of
Speaker 2: Ian Rapaport in round two. I then took out Phil
Speaker 2: Simms in round three. And the margins have been historic
Speaker 2: eighty percent, seventy eight percent, sixty eight percent. But now
Speaker 2: we're to the final eight and I'm gonna have to
Speaker 2: go through Pat McAfee. And I mean he was a
Speaker 2: two seed, but that's a one seed written all over it.
Speaker 2: If I get past him, it's either Skip or Shady
Speaker 2: in the final four. So either a co worker, yeah
Speaker 2: I know I Shady is I'm surprised. It's a shocker.
Speaker 2: It's it's a shocker. I'm not gonna lie to you. Now.
Speaker 2: On the other side of the bracket, we know it's
Speaker 2: gonna it's Cowherd and steven A are gonna be in
Speaker 2: the final four, and one of them is gonna move
Speaker 2: on to the championship round. Here's why I take massive
Speaker 2: pride in this. Six years ago, I was a sixteen
Speaker 2: seed in this bracket and won it a Cinderella story
Speaker 2: for the ages. I took out Skip Colin and stephen
Speaker 2: A en route to a sixteen seed, winning the most
Speaker 2: annoying person in media in like twenty nineteen or twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: In six short years, I've gone from being a sixteen
Speaker 2: seed in this thing to a one seed. The one
Speaker 2: seeds were stephen A, Skip Colin and me. You know
Speaker 2: a lot of people would say the annoying mount Rushmore
Speaker 2: there it is. I mean, the two seeds are unbelievable,
Speaker 2: fine bomb. Shannon McAfee and Shady. I think this is
Speaker 2: I don't think Shady's annoying. I think that's mean to Shady.
Speaker 2: I am. I'm delighted that Skip took out Clay Travis
Speaker 2: because I mean, Clay Travis should be a lifetime emeritis
Speaker 2: one seed and probably should have just swept this whole
Speaker 2: damn tournament. But if I could win this thing as
Speaker 2: a sixteen seed and then years later comeback as a
Speaker 2: one seed and win it, it'll be remarkable. I don't
Speaker 2: but I don't know that I like my chances against McAfee.
Speaker 2: I wonder if you can see the votes if you vote, Oh,
Speaker 2: I evidently you can. Uh uh oh fifty four six,
Speaker 2: I'm winning. Oh boy, So let's see. So here's let's
Speaker 2: let's check on, let's check in on the results. Up
Speaker 2: to this point, stephen A is gonna annihilate Fine Bomb. Uh,
Speaker 2: there's no question about that. And right now he's annihilating
Speaker 2: Fine Bomb. Colin's gonna annihilate mad Dog, and right oh,
Speaker 2: mad Dog's beating Colin. That'd be an upset mad Dog Colin.
Speaker 3: The sating in you will find Colin annoying. I'm just
Speaker 3: I'm a super surprised by Shady. I'm a little surprised
Speaker 3: by Colin.
Speaker 2: Not surprised by me at all. It would appear this
Speaker 2: is interesting, and so no, I think it again, I
Speaker 2: think it just means kind of polarizing. They're saying annoying,
Speaker 2: but you look at who's on there. I think it's polarizing,
Speaker 2: which is why I'm surprised. I'm surprised Shady like it's weird.
Speaker 2: I want to do well, but me saying other people
Speaker 2: should do well almost feels insulting. So it's kind of
Speaker 2: a weird line. I'm trying to walk here. But it
Speaker 2: would appear that Shady's Cinderella run is going to come
Speaker 2: to an end because Skip's got eighty percent of the vote.
Speaker 2: If the current votes hold, the final four is going
Speaker 2: to be steven A against mad Dog, which you can
Speaker 2: see all the time, and me against Skip. I mean again,
Speaker 2: it's fifty four forty six, so McAfee could come back
Speaker 2: at but we are. But McAfee barely beat urban Meyer
Speaker 2: that was a fifty to fifty. So this is I
Speaker 2: find this. Let me see if anyone has got the
Speaker 2: only person me? Stephen A and Skip have blown everyone out.
Speaker 2: Colin's done pretty well as well also. Uh so yeah,
Speaker 2: so there it is. I think I think I could
Speaker 2: become the first two time champion, So I love it.
Speaker 2: Uh and f one minute some of your listener questions.
Speaker 2: Next What's right? Yeah, maybe what's right? Welcome back in
Speaker 2: What's Right with Nick Wright. We have, since they're back
Speaker 2: from summer, break a new F one minute with the
Speaker 2: wonderful Sierra Fidel. Here it is.
Speaker 4: Hey, y'all, it's about that time for F one minute
Speaker 4: again with me. Sierra and I have breaking news, guys,
Speaker 4: absolutely re shattering. Honestly, we spoke about a certain racing
Speaker 4: driver earlier in the week. If you were here, let's
Speaker 4: play process of elimination. He's American right number one. He
Speaker 4: races for Williams and his stats are not too hot.
Speaker 4: You know, he's not doing too good, and he's to
Speaker 4: be replaced by Carlo Science. We're talking about Logan's sergeant.
Speaker 4: It's been announced that Williams has decided to drop him
Speaker 4: as a racing driver for their team. The Dutch Grand
Speaker 4: Prix was his last Gain Prix as a Formula One
Speaker 4: driver and he's to find other ways of racing. I
Speaker 4: guess he's no longer a Rollowin driver. And you know,
Speaker 4: based on what we were talking about last week, this
Speaker 4: is not surprising. You know, he wasn't doing good. He
Speaker 4: wasn't performing to their expectations. I guess and they weren't
Speaker 4: having it anymore. His replacement is the reserve driver. His
Speaker 4: name is Franco Klapinto. He's from F two and you
Speaker 4: know he's been in the F one space obviously because
Speaker 4: he's a reserve driver. But this will be his first race,
Speaker 4: like actually a Formula one. You know, I'm excited to
Speaker 4: see how he does, I guess, but he's no American
Speaker 4: hero like Logan Sergeant. But we'll see how that goes
Speaker 4: for him. But on a lineer note, we have the
Speaker 4: Italian Game pretty happening this weekend. It's going to be
Speaker 4: in Manza, which means this is the home race for
Speaker 4: the Ferrari team. Now, this also means that their fan base,
Speaker 4: the Tufosi, will be going crazy. It's going to be
Speaker 4: a sea of red red everywhere, and it's because they're
Speaker 4: very passionate people. You know, they love their team, they
Speaker 4: love their drivers, and whether they win or lose, you
Speaker 4: will see them in the stands going crazy. They are
Speaker 4: said to be bringing upgrades to the car, and you know,
Speaker 4: we'll see if they actually work. You know, they bring upgrades. Well,
Speaker 4: let's just see if they work and then we can
Speaker 4: go from there. Hopefully they do work. Because they said,
Speaker 4: you know, the team principle, and the driver said, they
Speaker 4: want to bring something to the foci, you know, to
Speaker 4: make them proud, YadA YadA. In my prediction list, I'm
Speaker 4: going to put them at number two. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I know I'm not allowed to be vague. I don't
Speaker 4: know if it's going to be Carlos or Charles, but
Speaker 4: I do see them on the ponium, and I say
Speaker 4: number two. And then as far as number one goes,
Speaker 4: I know I'm mentioned last and earlier in the week
Speaker 4: that I don't see Lando winning every single race from
Speaker 4: now on, and I stand by that I don't see
Speaker 4: that happening. But I also don't see Max winning this one.
Speaker 4: Now does that mean he will win it, I don't know.
Speaker 4: But I just don't see Max on that first place
Speaker 4: stool on the podium. So with that being said, I
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be third place. That's just me, though
Speaker 4: I'm not a Max hater, I promise, but I just
Speaker 4: don't see him first. But I do see McClaren first.
Speaker 4: But listen here, Marial, it doesn't have to be Lando.
Speaker 4: It could also be Oscar. So McLaren first for a second,
Speaker 4: and Red bull third. That's my prediction, and I also
Speaker 4: feel like it's I feel like someone's gonna be a
Speaker 4: good one. You know, it's been kind of chaotic relating
Speaker 4: up to it. It has to be good, and I
Speaker 4: think it will be good. I'm excited for this one.
Speaker 4: So if you have time, just watch the race. Watch
Speaker 4: the Italian Grand Prix this weekend so we can come
Speaker 4: back and talk about it. But that's it for the
Speaker 4: fort I'll see you guys next time.
Speaker 2: Great one as always, Sierra, and you got my guy,
Speaker 2: Carlos signs sayings on the podium. What more can I
Speaker 2: ask for?
Speaker 3: Watching F one this weekend?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because uh yeah, it's gonna be tougher when the
Speaker 2: NFL gets going, But yeah, watching F one this weekend.
Speaker 2: Got to figure out how to do it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, we're watching it.
Speaker 2: It's weird sometimes it's on. Yeah, you can do it.
Speaker 2: You can watch everything. All right, let's do quickly some
Speaker 2: listener questions. Uh, Jonathan Harris says that he needs my
Speaker 2: full list of bets with the units. I didn't say
Speaker 2: the units clearly last episode. I'm gonna put up a graphic,
Speaker 2: uh something, just just follow me. I assume you probably
Speaker 2: do follow me on Twitter if you're watching this and
Speaker 2: care about the bets, all put up a single sheet
Speaker 2: graphic with all of the with all of the bets
Speaker 2: and the units and all of it, and so you'll
Speaker 2: be able to see what exactly what the bets were.
Speaker 2: All right, read the next one, demonte.
Speaker 3: Mo better goat case if the Chiefs win it all,
Speaker 3: Andy or Mahomes pick one.
Speaker 2: Probably in this moment, Andy, because the Belichick's resume isn't
Speaker 2: as bulletproof as Brady's. You know, Belichick's at six not
Speaker 2: so there's Andy did have success pre Mahomes got to
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl one a million divisions, So probably Andy's
Speaker 2: if we're being honest, let's go to.
Speaker 3: M mercat any concerns for the Chief's death. They have overturned
Speaker 3: the bottom of the roster seemingly because they don't trust it.
Speaker 2: So that's one way to look at it, because they've
Speaker 2: added a lot of guys via waiver. The other way
Speaker 2: that might be true. The other way to look at
Speaker 2: it is they have been as good at scouting and
Speaker 2: at those things as any team in the league, and
Speaker 2: they think other teams have made mistakes and they're trying
Speaker 2: to pounce on it, But yeah, it is odd for
Speaker 2: a team as good as the Chiefs to add three
Speaker 2: guys via waivers, which is what they've done, and then
Speaker 2: one or two more via trade. So it's glass half full,
Speaker 2: glass half empty. The half empty is that they think
Speaker 2: the bottom of the roster is not that good. Half
Speaker 2: full is they think the bottom of the roster's fine.
Speaker 2: They just think these are mistakes by other teams. What's
Speaker 2: Producer Matt saying.
Speaker 3: Producer Matt, can I steal your goat best ever argument
Speaker 3: you made for Brady Mahomes and use it for Djokovic Fredder?
Speaker 2: So I actually agree with that, by the way, uh,
Speaker 2: producer Matt. If what you're saying is Djokovic has to
Speaker 2: be the goat because of the accomplishments, but Federer is
Speaker 2: the best you've ever seen, That's exactly how I feel.
Speaker 2: I think Feeder is the best tennis player I've ever seen,
Speaker 2: but I think Djokovic is the goat. So yeah, feel
Speaker 2: free to use it. It's just so much simpler when
Speaker 2: they're the same person. When the best you've ever seen
Speaker 2: also has the best resume. But everyone can't be Lebron
Speaker 2: James good show. Enjoy college football, this weekend. Uh, and
Speaker 2: we'll see you guys on Tuesday. I'll say you on
