Speaker 2: little confused, you know, counting all this money we won
Speaker 2: this weekend? What on Buddy, What's Episode eighty something of
Speaker 2: What's Right with Nick Right the podcast the YouTube show
Speaker 2: My guy right here gave us the lock of the week.
Speaker 2: It broke our losing streak on locks. Indeed, we also
Speaker 2: are guaranteed a winning week gambling, the question is will
Speaker 2: it be four and one or three and two. This guy,
Speaker 2: on the other hand, hit a nice multi team four
Speaker 2: or five team parlay. He's feeling great. Hea, that the
Speaker 2: his parlay and we'll get to the show in just second.
Speaker 2: At one point, the sports book he was using, which
Speaker 2: the sportsbook was using, offered him a cash out option
Speaker 2: for literal pennies. Hey, that's how, that's how what desperate
Speaker 2: shape they thought this parlay was in and demonte held
Speaker 2: strong got the whole thing. So is that going on?
Speaker 2: So we have a ton of football to discuss today's show.
Speaker 2: And by the way, we're live on YouTube. You can
Speaker 2: send in your comments and questions, participate in the polls
Speaker 2: throughout the show. Today's show is going to be a
Speaker 2: little bit different. So the first segment we're gonna do
Speaker 2: all football, the second segment I'm going to address the
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving situation, and then the third segment we're gonna
Speaker 2: get to your questions, comments and play a game and
Speaker 2: have some fun. So it's you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: It's a sandwich of sports fun, sports fun plus some
Speaker 2: seriousness in the middle. So all that coming up. But first,
Speaker 2: what we must get to is what we are not
Speaker 2: discussing today. Here's what is not on. What's right with
Speaker 2: Nick right today? The NFL trade deadline is tomorrow. We
Speaker 2: will discuss that on Thursday. Oh, since we last talked, though,
Speaker 2: the Chiefs added Kadarius Tony, Oh, maybe fixing their one
Speaker 2: problem the punt return game, Bill Belichick tying George Hallis
Speaker 2: or moving past George Hollis on the all time wins list,
Speaker 2: and the Lakers finally get a dub. The Lakers and
Speaker 2: the Nets both now one win teams.
Speaker 3: Or the shirt for the Lakers?
Speaker 2: Why what shirt? What does that have to do with
Speaker 2: the Lakers? They all right, fair enough, I don't think
Speaker 2: I think you wore that shirt as you woke up
Speaker 2: and you thought it was May in the Miami Beach
Speaker 2: as opposed to November or Halloween in New York City.
Speaker 2: It's a hell of an outfit to be wearing on Halloween.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do today? Demonte when people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: what do you dress that? When they think you're wearing
Speaker 2: a costume?
Speaker 3: I'm a podcaster.
Speaker 2: You're a podcaster. Okay, there you go. Fair enough? All right, Demanse,
Speaker 2: Let's get the show started.
Speaker 4: All right, man, Let's talk about Buffalo and Green Bay
Speaker 4: for a second. We are in a new era of NFL.
Speaker 4: Whe're having Aaron Rodgers on your team. Doesn't automatically make
Speaker 4: you a competitor.
Speaker 3: The chiefs on the.
Speaker 4: By the Bills reminded everybody who the true cream of
Speaker 4: the copper is in the AFC. Are you ready to
Speaker 4: write Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay's eulogy and as Josh
Speaker 4: Allen taking.
Speaker 3: The rains from Aaron Rodgers on being the best quarterback
Speaker 3: in the league.
Speaker 2: Okay, you guys are asking this last question just to
Speaker 2: troll me, right? Can I say something about last night's game?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Well, then it's dumb. It's either trolling me or you
Speaker 2: guys are dumb, because if this is a serious question,
Speaker 2: I don't. This is why I get so frustrated with
Speaker 2: the Bills narrative and the Josh Allen narrative. Here's a
Speaker 2: fun fact. Josh Allen was not good yesterday. He completed
Speaker 2: fifty percent of his passes. He had two picks when
Speaker 2: all they needed to do was not turned the ball
Speaker 2: over and it would have been a guaranteed easy victory. Instead,
Speaker 2: he threw an indefensible pick at midfield and then an
Speaker 2: awful pick in the red zone. Like there's so he
Speaker 2: had His quarterback rating history was seventy five. Is Josh
Speaker 2: Allen awesome. Yes, is he right now one of the
Speaker 2: two or three leading MVP candidates, no question about it.
Speaker 2: But I don't understand why he why even a game
Speaker 2: like that when his performance was not the first, second, third, fourth,
Speaker 2: or fifth best thing the Bills had going for him
Speaker 2: that people are like, uh, I mean, MVP race is over? No,
Speaker 2: it's not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we might have talked about this a
Speaker 4: little bit when you said the best player on the
Speaker 4: team gets the credit, no matter like. If you win, yes,
Speaker 4: like you you shine, and then when you lose, it's
Speaker 4: all blamed on you.
Speaker 2: Yes, that you know what. You're absolutely right, And that's
Speaker 2: a really smart point you made right there. So I'm
Speaker 2: okay with that. But this idea that this was all
Speaker 2: a passing of the torchween Rogers and all. And by
Speaker 2: the way, Rogers hasn't been the best quarterback in football,
Speaker 2: some would argue. Ever, certainly since Mahomes walked in the league.
Speaker 2: There's not been a day that Mahomes has been in
Speaker 2: the NFL that Rogers been better than him, Not one
Speaker 2: day since Mahomes took over. So listen, the Bills. It
Speaker 2: was a good win, their deep, their run defense. I'd
Speaker 2: be a little concerned by'm buffalo that all right? The Packers,
Speaker 2: once they realized that you couldn't throw on them, they
Speaker 2: ran the ball thirty times for two hundred yards. They
Speaker 2: just ran the ball at will. Green Bay, on the
Speaker 2: other hand, has now lost four games in a row.
Speaker 2: How they have They are in Detroit next week. Detroit
Speaker 2: has shown us that at home they can score points. Yeah,
Speaker 2: on the road they sink. At home, they can score points.
Speaker 2: It then goes after the Detroit game. Cowboys, Titans, Eagles
Speaker 2: three of the hottest teams in the league, is it?
Speaker 2: I mean, the Titans have won five in a row.
Speaker 2: Cowboys are coming off a great win, which I think
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about. I mean, not a great
Speaker 2: win as far as degree of difficulty, but how dominating
Speaker 2: they were on the offensive side. And the Eagles are
Speaker 2: undefeated at the They still, even after that, have games
Speaker 2: against the Dolphins and Vikings and will throw in a
Speaker 2: Rams game. You though, the Rams I don't think are
Speaker 2: very good. Green Bay is not making the playoffs.
Speaker 3: That's what it's looking.
Speaker 2: Like there is you know, I wonder I'll look right
Speaker 2: now in real time see if it's up there. What
Speaker 2: their playoff odds are. They were an underdog to make
Speaker 2: the playoffs before this week. Now I'm sure that was
Speaker 2: they baked in that they thought they were going to
Speaker 2: lose to Buffalo, but they went So they're plus one
Speaker 2: eighty to make the playoffs, so one hundred bucks to win,
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty bucks for them to miss the playoffs,
Speaker 2: they're minus two hundred. So Vegas is telling you they
Speaker 2: think there's a two out of three chance they missed
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I think that's right. I think right now,
Speaker 2: if we were ranking NFC and listen the Bills, let
Speaker 2: me say one more thing about the Bills, then we'll
Speaker 2: finish the Packers, then we'll move on. Here's what the
Speaker 2: most important thing for the Bills is. It's not just
Speaker 2: that they are now six and one. It is that
Speaker 2: they are six and one with head to head wins
Speaker 2: over the other the only five and two teams in
Speaker 2: the conference. So they're six and one with a blowout
Speaker 2: win over Tennessee, which at the time it's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: the Titans are just gonna stink. That looks better by
Speaker 2: the week, and a close win over Kansas City. So
Speaker 2: in order for the Titans or the Chiefs to pass them.
Speaker 2: They have to. They can't have the same record as them, obviously.
Speaker 2: So let's say the Chiefs are going to lose. What's
Speaker 2: best case scenario, The Chiefs are only going to lose
Speaker 2: one more time all year. Okay, so they finished fourteen
Speaker 2: and three, that would mean Buffalo has to finish thirteen
Speaker 2: and four for them to not be the one seed.
Speaker 2: And so Buffalo's remaining schedule at the Jets home for
Speaker 2: the Vikings, home for the Browns, at the Lions, at
Speaker 2: the Patriots, home for the Jets, at the Dolphins, or
Speaker 2: at the Bear home for the Dolphins, pardon me, at
Speaker 2: the Bears, at the Bengals home for the Patriots. Hard
Speaker 2: to find they've got it, yeah, I mean it's very
Speaker 2: it's hard to find the loss is necessary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. I didn't really even see one clear.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't. They're going to be favored in every
Speaker 2: game they play. But even if you know, you could
Speaker 2: lose at Sincy, you could lose at the Jets, you
Speaker 2: could lose at the Patriots. Let's say you lose those
Speaker 2: three road games. Okay, even if they do that, Kansas
Speaker 2: City then has to go. They're five and two, eight
Speaker 2: and one. The rest of the way, So the Chiefs
Speaker 2: almost have to run the table to have a real
Speaker 2: shot at the one seed, and even if they do that,
Speaker 2: Buffalo is still got to lose twice. So that's why
Speaker 2: that was a good win for Buffalo, because at the
Speaker 2: beginning of the year, when we didn't know Green Bay
Speaker 2: was going to be this bad, it's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's in Buffalo, but that's a that's one of the
Speaker 2: toughest games on your schedule. Home game against the Packers
Speaker 2: didn't turn out that way. Oh they also, by the way,
Speaker 2: I didn't even think about this. Buffalo also has the
Speaker 2: head to head with the Ravens. Now, the Ravens aren't
Speaker 2: five and two, but the other division leaders Baltimore, Tennessee
Speaker 2: and Kansas City, Buffalo's beaten all So that's a testament
Speaker 2: to their overall team, even if yesterday they weren't that great.
Speaker 2: For the Packers, what I was going to say is,
Speaker 2: if we are ranking playoff contenders right now in the NFC,
Speaker 2: the Eagles are as good as in, the Vikings to
Speaker 2: me are as good as in, the Cowboys are close
Speaker 2: to as good as in, and you're obviously going to
Speaker 2: have a winner from the NFC South End and the
Speaker 2: NFC West End. Right now, green Bay, I put them
Speaker 2: in the same bucket as they are going to be
Speaker 2: fighting with Atlanta, Seattle, and the Giants. Those four teams
Speaker 2: and the Rams, the Rams, Seattle, Atlanta, the Giants and
Speaker 2: the Packers. Those five teams, I should say, are gonna
Speaker 2: be fighting for the final two playoffs spots. So I
Speaker 2: think Green Bay's in real rough shape. All right?
Speaker 3: Next, seems like it? All right?
Speaker 4: The Eagles, Cowboys, and Commanders all one on Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Philly dominated Pittsburgh and Dallas put up almost fifty against Chicago.
Speaker 4: The Giants lost but remain six and two. The four
Speaker 4: teams are combined for sixteen and three against teams.
Speaker 3: Out of the division.
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable. Yeah, that is unbelievable to have that record
Speaker 2: out of division. It's wildly impressed. Not common, No, not
Speaker 2: at all. Go ahead, all right?
Speaker 3: Is there a shot?
Speaker 4: Is there a shot that Dallas and the Giants can
Speaker 4: beat the Eagles out of the division?
Speaker 2: Crown, Oh, I don't think so, because the Eagles you
Speaker 2: don't have that. It's so softy. I don't want to
Speaker 2: make this a schedule show. We just did that with
Speaker 2: these other teams, but the Eagles. The next week they're
Speaker 2: home for Washington. Then they're at Indy, home for Bay,
Speaker 2: home for the Titans, at the Giants, at the Bears,
Speaker 2: at the Cowboys, home for the Saints, home for the Giants.
Speaker 2: So aside from divisional games, what they have left is
Speaker 2: the Colts, the Packers, the Titans, the Bears, and the Saints.
Speaker 2: Every single one of those teams is below five hundred,
Speaker 2: except for Washington, which is at five hundred. Oh and
Speaker 2: this week I left this one out. I'm sorry. Their
Speaker 2: next game is against the Texans, So that's like, so,
Speaker 2: I don't think had the Cowboys beaten Philly, this is
Speaker 2: how close Margins are. The Cowboys had beaten Philly when
Speaker 2: they played Cooper Rush's last game, then both of them
Speaker 2: have won loss. Dallas would actually, because they haven't had
Speaker 2: the buye yet seven and one Phillies six and one.
Speaker 2: Dallas would be in first place with the tiebreaker at
Speaker 2: the moment. Instead, they're two games back with Philly having
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker. I don't listen Phi. Philly's more of a
Speaker 2: lock for the one seed than Dallas is. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: then Buffalo is, and listen before the year. I've said
Speaker 2: this before, I'll say it again. I was skeptical of
Speaker 2: the Eagles at first, and then after the Tyrone Smith
Speaker 2: injury came around on them as division winners. But I laughed.
Speaker 2: We talked about it on the show. I openly laughed
Speaker 2: about the idea that, oh, yeah, Philly's gonna be fourteen
Speaker 2: and three in the one seed. They're gonna be fourteen
Speaker 2: and three and the one seed. Yeah, the and Jalen
Speaker 2: is playing. I mean, Jalen was Yesterday might have been
Speaker 2: the best game of the season for him. AJ Brown
Speaker 2: was obviously sensational. The Steelers had no answers Philly looks.
Speaker 3: Really there are that Philly goes undefeated. I think there is.
Speaker 2: You think there is, yeah, just because of the schedule
Speaker 2: or because you like them that much.
Speaker 4: The schedule, I mean, he's given what they've already done.
Speaker 4: I just I don't really see anything. I mean, I
Speaker 4: could see that maybe being played with injuries, but besides that, man,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Here's what hurts them or it hurts the chances of that.
Speaker 2: Divisional games are almost always the toughest games. We've just
Speaker 2: talked about how that the NFCAS is sixteen and three
Speaker 2: outside of the division, they still have four divisional games remaining,
Speaker 2: So are they You're really gonna sweep the division when
Speaker 2: it's the best division of football and thinks so? So well,
Speaker 2: you know what, let me check the odds on that
Speaker 2: as well, the odds for Philly to go on. I
Speaker 2: wonder what their regular season is that even available Philadelphia
Speaker 2: Right now, their projected win total is fourteen and a half,
Speaker 2: So Vegas is saying they're either going fourteen and three
Speaker 2: or fifteen and two. Will they go undefeated? I'm looking
Speaker 2: at it right now. What do you think?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Is what do you think it is?
Speaker 3: One?
Speaker 2: Thirty to one, fifty one, twelve to one, ten to one,
Speaker 2: like fifty to one. No, I'm just throwing stuff out there.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, what do you what do you think it is?
Speaker 4: Maybe thirty to one, twelve to one, twelve to one, okay,
Speaker 4: twelve to one.
Speaker 2: Their minus they're one to thirty to have a loss.
Speaker 2: So if you want to bet them not to go undefeated,
Speaker 2: it would be you'd have to risk three thousand to
Speaker 2: win one hundred. If you want to bet them to
Speaker 2: go undefeated, you'd have first one hundred to win twelve hundred.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going undefeated, but they are. Also,
Speaker 2: they and Buffalo are both tied for the odds for
Speaker 2: the best regular season record at even money. Essentially, the
Speaker 2: Chiefs have the next best odds at plus seven point fifty.
Speaker 2: So Vegas really thinks Philly and Buffalo are basically locked
Speaker 2: into the one seeds. And keep in mind they changed
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Now only the one seed
Speaker 2: gets a buy. It used to be the one and
Speaker 2: the two, so that between the one and the two
Speaker 2: seed is massive.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Next the poll, Oh, we have a poll, thank you?
Speaker 2: Sorry about that. Who in the NFC East eighty one
Speaker 2: percent says Philly, Dallas thirteen percent, Washington three percent, and
Speaker 2: the Giants only one percent. Listen, I've disrespected the Giants plenty,
Speaker 2: but having the four and four Washington commanders well the
Speaker 2: poll our poll respondents liked their chances of winning the
Speaker 2: division more than the Giants is ludicrous. All right?
Speaker 4: Next, all right, the NFC West, one of the hardest
Speaker 4: divisions to make sense of. Seattle is in first after improving,
Speaker 4: improving five to five and three against the six and
Speaker 4: two Giants.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey ran caught and.
Speaker 4: Threw a touchdown for San Francisco because they swept the
Speaker 4: Rams for this season. Yep, Arizona had a chance against
Speaker 4: Minzona Minnesota, but they don't looking to playoff team obviously.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Is San Francisco rallying or could Seattle really win
Speaker 3: the division?
Speaker 2: Oh? Listen, I think Seattle. I think Seattle is a
Speaker 2: good team. And Gino deserves a ton of credit and
Speaker 2: Carrol's arms a ton of credit. And they crushed that draft,
Speaker 2: just crushed it. They have rookies helping everywhere. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna win the division? Can they?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: But San Francisco, we said it on the show that
Speaker 2: San Francisco back to back tough losses, the lay terribly
Speaker 2: against the Falcons. They ran into the bus saw that
Speaker 2: is the Chiefs San Francisco. Now, they don't have an
Speaker 2: easy schedule. But do I expect Seattle to maintain the
Speaker 2: divisional lead against them? I don't. The other thing San
Speaker 2: Francisco has going for them is they already beat Seattle
Speaker 2: head to head, So if they sweep them, obviously it's
Speaker 2: a huge advantage to winning the division. But even if
Speaker 2: they don't sweep them. They're in great shape to win
Speaker 2: the division because their divisional record since they as you mentioned,
Speaker 2: they've already swept the Rams this year. So I do
Speaker 2: like San Francisco to win that division. I think the
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are done. I think the Rams
Speaker 2: are deads the Ram and this is why I wouldn't
Speaker 2: write off the Bucks. We haven't talked since the Bucks
Speaker 2: lost another embarrassing one on Thursday night. Bucks, Rams, Packers
Speaker 2: all to miss the playoffs for the year would have
Speaker 2: sounded crazy. I think it's still a little crazy because
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks can win that division. The Packers
Speaker 2: Minnesota just keeps winning. All they do is keep winning,
Speaker 2: and they already beat Green Bay had to head once
Speaker 2: and the Rams have a broken roster. And I don't
Speaker 2: know how many people paid attention to this. Down three
Speaker 2: scores with less than two minutes left, McVeigh made a
Speaker 2: big mistake. Man had not only Cooper Cup in the game,
Speaker 2: but they threw him a pass and his ankle got
Speaker 2: rolled up on. If he's out for any amount of time,
Speaker 2: that offense becomes the worst offense in football. According to
Speaker 2: the Smart Numbers, it already is the worst offense in football,
Speaker 2: they can't run the ball, they can't protect almost a
Speaker 2: golf stafford. So I think Seattle, that's a great win
Speaker 2: against the Giants, A great win against the Giants. I
Speaker 2: give him credit for how they did it. San Francisco, though, is,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the best team in the conference other
Speaker 2: than Phillya. And you know, Philly deserves respect for what
Speaker 2: it's done, but take Philly out of it. I think
Speaker 2: San Francisco is the best team, and I think the
Speaker 2: second best team in the conference right now is Dallas.
Speaker 2: I mean, sorry, the third best team. I think Philly
Speaker 2: and San Francisco at the top, with Dallas at number three.
Speaker 2: I picked Dallas miss the playoffs. I've been a Dallas skeptic.
Speaker 2: I've been wrong. I mean, the defense wasn't even great
Speaker 2: against the Bears.
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, it's just the Bears.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but that that Bears defense kicked the crap
Speaker 2: out of the Patriots and fair and Dallas hung damn
Speaker 2: near fifty on. Yeah, so Dallas, we knew the defense
Speaker 2: was great. If that offense now is starting to get
Speaker 2: more explosive and with Dallas it I know we'll talk
Speaker 2: more about it later, But Tony Pollard got his first
Speaker 2: his career, you know, not his first career, but he
Speaker 2: started over Zeke Cauzekee was hurt. He's still amazingly. Tony
Speaker 2: Pollard has never had a fifteen carry game. He had
Speaker 2: fourteen in this game. But he had fourteen for like
Speaker 2: a buck thirty. He was unbelievable.
Speaker 3: So move.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Dallas, listen, Dallas deserves credit. But I think
Speaker 2: San Francisco. San Francisco is clearly better than Seattle. All right,
Speaker 2: last topic this segment.
Speaker 3: All right, we've talked about the good divisions.
Speaker 4: Now for the NFC South, the two in five Panthers
Speaker 4: and three and four Falcons had a showdown for first
Speaker 4: place in the division. Falcons came out on top and
Speaker 4: overtime after a crazy into the game. So Atlanta is
Speaker 4: is alone in first place. The Saints and Bucks are
Speaker 4: tied for second at three and five. Is Tampa gonna
Speaker 4: figure this out and win the division or you're a
Speaker 4: buyer in Atlanta?
Speaker 2: No, listen, Tampa's gonna win the division. Atlanta's win yesterday
Speaker 2: was a theft.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I.
Speaker 2: Listen, everyone's killing Dj Moore? Can I defend Dj Moore
Speaker 2: for a second? He took his helmet off after scoring
Speaker 2: the touchdown. Yeah, and the NFL has made it to
Speaker 2: where you can do you can run off the bench
Speaker 2: to celebrate. There's so many touchdown celebrations that are allowed
Speaker 2: to not let him to penal. And by the way,
Speaker 2: for it to be fifteen yards, what are you so
Speaker 2: upset about?
Speaker 4: Did you have something I really don't like NFL refs.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they're pretty annoying.
Speaker 2: The well, it's just, oh yeah, the guy ran into
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll and it's so punitive that now the extra
Speaker 2: points already thirty three yards, yet fifteen Now it's a
Speaker 2: damn near fifty yard field goal. Now, with that said,
Speaker 2: Carolina also did have a thirty yard field goal in
Speaker 2: overtime to win, and that kid shanked that one too.
Speaker 2: Carolina doesn't deserve to be in first place. But Atlanta
Speaker 2: and that huge survivor pool I'm in which my team lasted.
Speaker 2: You know, yesterday it was a great day for survivor pools,
Speaker 2: all the big favorites one but we would have knocked
Speaker 2: out fifteen percent of the pool with the Atlanta loss,
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't have been one of them. So that
Speaker 2: was a bummer Atlanta. I but to answer everybody, to
Speaker 2: answer the question that I was asked, I'm not a
Speaker 2: buyer or a believer in the Falcons. I think the
Speaker 2: Falcons were incredibly fortunate to win that game. They do
Speaker 2: have one dominating win this year, the one over the Niners,
Speaker 2: but the Browns and Seahawks games that they won earlier
Speaker 2: this year were incredible close calls. This Panthers game was absurd,
Speaker 2: and they do have an incredibly soft schedule moving forward.
Speaker 2: I think they will come back down to earth, and
Speaker 2: they've been outscored on the season. They have a negative
Speaker 2: point differential. That's always a red flag of a team
Speaker 2: not being as good as their record suggests. Yeah, if
Speaker 2: they have a negative point like point differential, let me
Speaker 2: tell you right now that we're this far through the season,
Speaker 2: it's a good indicator.
Speaker 3: So here are like our teams blowing you out basically.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So number one in the league in point differential,
Speaker 2: Buffalo number two, number three, the Chiefs, number four, Dallas,
Speaker 2: number five, Cincinnati, even though they're only four and three,
Speaker 2: number six, Minnesota, number seven, San Francisco, number eight, Baltimore.
Speaker 2: It was Denver in point differential. Yeah, they are probably
Speaker 2: not as low as you would think.
Speaker 4: No, I thought they were higher because I mean they're
Speaker 4: scoring like these little mini like it's like fourteen seventeen.
Speaker 2: And yeah, but they're losing, so they have a negative
Speaker 2: point difference. This is not not points allowed. Point differential
Speaker 2: is take all the points you've scored, all the points
Speaker 2: you've allowed, and compare them. So my point is the
Speaker 2: top eight in the NFL and point differential goes Bills, Eagles, Chiefs, Dallas, Bengals, Vikings, Niners, Ravens.
Speaker 2: Those are the eight best teams in football, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, it's really indicative of how good
Speaker 2: you actually are. The bottom five teams in point differential
Speaker 2: are Washington, Red Flag, Houston, the Rams, Red Flag, the Lions,
Speaker 2: and the Steelers. Like, oh, those are the worst teams
Speaker 2: in football. So the reason I bring it up is
Speaker 2: Atlanta being right in the middle, you know, same point
Speaker 2: differential this year as the Bucks in this right there
Speaker 2: with behind the Saints. It's indicative they're not great. Seattle,
Speaker 2: on the other hand, point differential wise, they're eleventh in
Speaker 2: the NFL. My name, Jacksonville Jaguars ten.
Speaker 3: What a terribleness. I think we're gonna talk about the
Speaker 3: great loss Actually.
Speaker 2: Why did you have Denver?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: You mean because you guys talked me out of betting them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you guys saved me money because I would have bet them,
Speaker 2: And if i'd have woken up in time, I would
Speaker 2: have bet them on my own. But that game started
Speaker 2: kicked at nine thirty, and I was so mad. I
Speaker 2: was so mad that I couldn't bet them. That is
Speaker 2: so bad. But it didn't matter.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: So there's there's our Week eight NFL beginning of the recap. Oh,
Speaker 2: I think we have one more poll? Sorry, who's gonna
Speaker 2: win the NFC South? Fifty percent says Tampa, thirty four
Speaker 2: percent says Atlanta, uh, ten percent says New Orleans, and
Speaker 2: six percent says Carolina.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: New Orleans. By the way, what an awful performance by
Speaker 2: the Raiders. It just awful.
Speaker 3: Are you ready to let that go?
Speaker 2: Let what go?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: You just keep saying, I think the Raiders are really good.
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's definitely.
Speaker 2: So that was the one pick that I got wrong
Speaker 2: this week.
Speaker 3: It's time to kill that one.
Speaker 2: Well that was I mean, that type of performance makes
Speaker 2: you consider that was terrible. Okay, all right, So here's
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. We're gonna come back, We're gonna
Speaker 2: talk Kyrie, and then we're gonna get back to football
Speaker 2: and your questions and comments in the uh in the chat,
Speaker 2: but we'll take a sixty or ninety second break, come
Speaker 2: right back and have a serious discussion about what has
Speaker 2: happened to Kyrie Irving. Whether you're a basketball fan or
Speaker 2: a Nets fan or not, it's it's going to be
Speaker 2: applicable information for all of us in our daily lives.
Speaker 2: We'll discuss it next.

Speaker 2: Welcome Back in episode eighty nine, What's Right with Nick
Speaker 2: Right and now we're gonna talk about the Kyrie stuff,
Speaker 2: so very quickly. I'm gonna do the basketball stuff, and
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna do the far more important stuff. Okay,
Speaker 2: basileb stuff is this Kyrie Irving Flatley. The juice is
Speaker 2: not worth the squeeze hasn't been for a single day
Speaker 2: he's been on the Brooklyn Nets. His first year there,
Speaker 2: Katie's out with an injury. Kyrie then sits out the
Speaker 2: little many playoff runs. He had some injury. He also
Speaker 2: was instrumental in getting Kenny Atkinson fired, which obviously was
Speaker 2: a major error. His second year there, it all looked great,
Speaker 2: and then he turned his ankle in the playoffs jams
Speaker 2: Sarvon's already hurt, and who knows. His third year, obviously
Speaker 2: he derails their entire season with the vank scene stuff
Speaker 2: and then is terrible in the playoffs and they get swept.
Speaker 2: And now this year that team is awful. They are
Speaker 2: the worst defensive team in basketball. Kyrie has a lot
Speaker 2: of highlights, but one way player and now already has
Speaker 2: created a just total storm around him. So I don't
Speaker 2: know what. I don't know if he's tradeable, I don't
Speaker 2: know who right now, is going would want to take
Speaker 2: him on, and it's a disaster for them from a
Speaker 2: basketball perspective. And so that's the basketball. Now to the
Speaker 2: important okay, and this is the part that I'm gonna
Speaker 2: want us to put out there on our channels social wise,
Speaker 2: because this is the part that I think is important.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So there's so many layers here, and I'm gonna try
Speaker 2: to get through them all. If you guys watch the show.
Speaker 2: You guys know, for this show, I don't ever have notes.
Speaker 2: I have notes here for this one because I want
Speaker 2: to make sure we get it right. So Kyrie Irving
Speaker 2: tweeted out a link to a movie that is based
Speaker 2: on a book. He then claimed in this press conference
Speaker 2: he had watched the movie. I thought it was totally
Speaker 2: in play. He had not watched the movie and was
Speaker 2: just gonna double down anyway. I'm still not convincing watched
Speaker 2: the whole thing, and I think it is Actually his
Speaker 2: best defense would be, I didn't watch it, man, I
Speaker 2: saw it. It seemed interesting somedy with you know my
Speaker 2: name means Jahweh, as he explained, So I put it
Speaker 2: out there. My bad. But he claims not only did
Speaker 2: he watch it, but he also implies he might have
Speaker 2: read the book. So in the most the most damning
Speaker 2: part of the movie, and that book, which is why
Speaker 2: it's being called anti semitic, is because it has an
Speaker 2: alleged quote from Harold Wallace Rosenthal, and it's been debunked
Speaker 2: as a fake quote years ago. But that quote talks
Speaker 2: about how the Jews have established five major falsehoods to
Speaker 2: conceal their nature and protect their status and power, including
Speaker 2: on those falsehoods is holocau s nihilism according to this
Speaker 2: again fabricated quote. He goes on to later in the movie,
Speaker 2: there is a quote attributed to Hitler that says, quote,
Speaker 2: because the white Jews know that the Negroes are the
Speaker 2: real children of Israel, and to keep America's secrets, the
Speaker 2: Jews will blackmail America, they will extort America. They're playing
Speaker 2: for world domination. Won't work if the Negroes know who
Speaker 2: they are. So Kyrie Irving at this press conference talks
Speaker 2: about it's on Amazon Prime, it's history, it's out there,
Speaker 2: but it's fabricated history. So now let's go a layer back.
Speaker 2: That Harold Wallace Rosenthal quote sounds a hell of a
Speaker 2: lot like some things folks read one hundred years ago
Speaker 2: in a book called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Speaker 2: That again, that was one of the first documented instances
Speaker 2: of truly damaging fake news. So that was a book
Speaker 2: that the entire thing was wrote as a fabrication. So
Speaker 2: folks that wanted reasons to attack and dehumanize use one
Speaker 2: of Kyrie's words. Jewish people wrote a book that was
Speaker 2: attributed to Jewish people about their plot for world domination
Speaker 2: and then pretended they discovered it. Do you follow me?
Speaker 2: So that's what that And this Harold Wallace Rosenthal quote
Speaker 2: that is not a real quote from that guy. And
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into the full history of that,
Speaker 2: but it's been since debunked many times over. It's a
Speaker 2: lot like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. What
Speaker 2: so Kyrie says, did I hurt or harm anyone? Well,
Speaker 2: not directly and not yet how ever, And Kyrie's big
Speaker 2: on history, but it's important you know the actual history.
Speaker 2: So the Protocols the Elders of Zion that book was
Speaker 2: in nineteen in the nineteen thirties, taught to school children,
Speaker 2: and you guessed it. Nazi Germany as a way to
Speaker 2: prime these young people for the hatred and the coming
Speaker 2: purge of Jewish people during the rise of Hitler and
Speaker 2: you know Nazi Germany. Okay, So all of this stuff,
Speaker 2: Kyrie and Kanye and so many of these folks think
Speaker 2: they're discovering something, think they've uncovered real truth, when it's
Speaker 2: the same playbook that's that other folks have been. It's
Speaker 2: going by intentionally or unintentionally for decades and in some
Speaker 2: cases centuries. So this all like hits close to It's
Speaker 2: weird for me maybe to care so much about this,
Speaker 2: but it is such a symptom of a bigger problem.
Speaker 2: And I said this on Twitter, and I say it
Speaker 2: again here. I'm just an Italian Irish white guy who's
Speaker 2: raised Roman Catholic. However, my dear beloved grandfather, who passed
Speaker 2: before you were born, was a Polish Jew. And my
Speaker 2: wife and my three wonderful children are black. And people
Speaker 2: have been trying to pit Blacks and Jews against each
Speaker 2: other for so long, and in so many ways it's
Speaker 2: been successful. Some of the some of the most racially
Speaker 2: exclusive communities in New York City are the Orthodox Jewish
Speaker 2: communities that really have no time time for black folks.
Speaker 2: And some of the most racially exclusionary communities are these
Speaker 2: folks that march up the street from this store, some
Speaker 2: of the some of the black Israelites who echo all
Speaker 2: of this same anti Semitic nonsense. And what's such a
Speaker 2: shame is we can keep it to sports, we can
Speaker 2: go outside of sports. All of our civil rights leaders
Speaker 2: knew better. mL came marched with rab eyes and had
Speaker 2: no quarter for anti semitism, Jackie Robinson wrote. Jackie Robinson
Speaker 2: wrote a column for I think was the New York
Speaker 2: Poster or New York paper long ago about confronting anti semitism.
Speaker 2: Kareem talks about it to this day, and and yet
Speaker 2: it still pervades. And I do empathize with Black Americans
Speaker 2: in that not only was your history stolen from you,
Speaker 2: and not only do you not we don't teach it
Speaker 2: in schools. There's there is the if you want to
Speaker 2: learn anything about your ancestors, you have to specialize in it.
Speaker 2: And even there, it's hard. It's hard to sort everything out.
Speaker 2: It's the people say, what you know, what I mean,
Speaker 2: some of the bad actors, racist folks. You're like, it's
Speaker 2: so ridiculous. Why can't I have white pride when there's
Speaker 2: black pride? Well, there is white pride all over the place,
Speaker 2: it's just us white folks get to narrow it down
Speaker 2: to Irish American pride or Italian pride, or Polish pride
Speaker 2: or Russian pride. Black Americans don't get that luxury. They
Speaker 2: don't they had stripped from them. The just get the
Speaker 2: condent of Africa and really their experience here in America.
Speaker 2: So you can it's so, it's it's different, and it's
Speaker 2: it takes what you got to peel back the onion
Speaker 2: one layer and understand that. So I understand black people
Speaker 2: wanting to feel like, God damn it, they're not teaching
Speaker 2: me this in school that I'm gonna go find my history.
Speaker 2: But this is where we all as a society are
Speaker 2: in such a dangerous place, because nobody seems to have
Speaker 2: the goddamn ability to differentiate history from a well produced
Speaker 2: YouTube video. And I I think Kyrie means well, I do.
Speaker 2: I don't think he has hate in his heart for anybody,
Speaker 2: but I think he doesn't know what he doesn't know,
Speaker 2: and he thinks he's the educated one. He talks about
Speaker 2: how the history is out there, and now he's in
Speaker 2: a unique position to post things for his community. And
Speaker 2: he's then asked to about promoting an Alex Jones video
Speaker 2: and he gives the perfunctory I don't stand with Alex
Speaker 2: Jones on the Sandy Hook stuff. But he says what
Speaker 2: Alex Jones saying about secret societies, he's flat says it
Speaker 2: goes well, that's true. And what Kyrie doesn't know is
Speaker 2: Alex Jones's whole New World Order conspiracy, which is a
Speaker 2: conspiracy that predates Alex Jones, is also an old anti
Speaker 2: Semitic conspiracy that this Jewish cabal runs the world and
Speaker 2: wants to have power over everyone. It's all fruit of
Speaker 2: the same poisonous tree. And we are we are so
Speaker 2: trapped in a place where we have we have all
Speaker 2: I shouldn't we all so many people have? How do
Speaker 2: I put this? There has been a death of expertise,
Speaker 2: and whether it's science, medicine, or history, folks, so many
Speaker 2: folks think there are no experts. I'm going to become
Speaker 2: my own experts. And what they're not seeing is that
Speaker 2: so much of what they then consume was created for
Speaker 2: the explicit purpose of exploiting and Kyrie doesn't see it.
Speaker 2: And my friends that I've lost to this, they're just
Speaker 2: toxic Internet brain. They don't see it. And it's horve
Speaker 2: and the Canarian the coal mine was the flat earth stuff,
Speaker 2: and it was once we as a society saw, oh,
Speaker 2: there is a legitimate percentage of people that really believe
Speaker 2: this flat earth stuff. It should have been a nationwide
Speaker 2: alarm that will bad actors see that and know if
Speaker 2: they'll believe that, they'll believe an it. Let me throw
Speaker 2: up some fake quotes. Let me give some history that
Speaker 2: has just enough of a kernel of truth to it.
Speaker 2: And this is the part that I'll tell you. Go
Speaker 2: check go check this in your school history book and
Speaker 2: you'll see that this is true. But then everything else
Speaker 2: that comes of it is to lead you down a path.
Speaker 2: And by I just I just wish there was more
Speaker 2: of a consensus. And I'm going to tell you this
Speaker 2: right now. Man. We've got some viewers and some listeners
Speaker 2: from Twitter followers that will see this or saw Kyrie's thing,
Speaker 2: and what they will say is, well, what did you
Speaker 2: say that's not true? And what they don't understand is
Speaker 2: y'all are being taken for a ride. They think your
Speaker 2: rooms and that you can be exploited, and nobody seems
Speaker 2: to be immune from it. And so I don't think
Speaker 2: Kyrie is a bad person, and I don't think Kyrie
Speaker 2: dislikes Jewish people. I think Kyrie Irving believes he knows
Speaker 2: a true history that was so that is so clearly
Speaker 2: the same playbook of fabricated quotes and fabricated texts and
Speaker 2: fabricated history to start to divide people that people have
Speaker 2: been using across all societies for as long as there
Speaker 2: have been societies. But now everyone's got access to it,
Speaker 2: and some of our folks with the biggest microphones are
Speaker 2: now giving more people. They already had access to it,
Speaker 2: but it's now accessible to them and or now they.
Speaker 3: Know about it.
Speaker 2: It is going in the wrong direction. I hate to
Speaker 2: be so pessimistic, but unless we societally invest in for
Speaker 2: our young people and adults some form of I don't
Speaker 2: even want to call it media, but I will media
Speaker 2: and historic literacy, that the videos are only going to
Speaker 2: get more compelling, the deep fakes are only going to
Speaker 2: start coming right down the tracks, and everyone is going
Speaker 2: to have their own version of history. And we know
Speaker 2: where that ends. We know what the end goal of
Speaker 2: it all is, and it's scary. So makes me really sad,
Speaker 2: and I just I don't have a I don't have
Speaker 2: a solve, but I know the direction it's going and
Speaker 2: it's a really really bad one. All Right, we'll get
Speaker 2: back to sports next World track. All right, welcome back
Speaker 2: in What's Right with Nick? Right episode eighty nine. You know,
Speaker 2: I could have just checked this at the when we
Speaker 2: tweeted out the link for the show, and I didn't
Speaker 2: because I'm a dope. But it says right in the
Speaker 2: link that we tweeted out that this is episode eighty nine. Uh,
Speaker 2: the I don't. I was before we get to the game.
Speaker 2: I just want to say one thing, if you're still
Speaker 2: with us, I almost cried twice during that Kyrie Irving thing,
Speaker 2: which totally shocked me. I did not think that I
Speaker 2: would get emotional about it like that. I knew I was,
Speaker 2: like upset me.
Speaker 3: It is a frustrating thing.
Speaker 2: It's just frustrating, and I just it's in this regard.
Speaker 2: I just think we all know people who we love
Speaker 2: and care about who have been lost to the YouTube algorithm.
Speaker 3: And it who.
Speaker 2: Are just gone. They're just gone. The way my mom
Speaker 2: tells me about friends you grew up with in the
Speaker 2: sixties who took acid all the time and then at
Speaker 2: one point their brain just stopped working. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean that they just they they are on a
Speaker 2: permanent trip. You know what I mean, that the drugs
Speaker 2: finally got to them and they had just done That's.
Speaker 3: What it's like, a parasite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what it feels like. Has has happened.
Speaker 2: And I just I you know, I'm in a weird
Speaker 2: spot because I'm not Jewish, but so many people think
Speaker 2: I am because of my nose, and I think I
Speaker 2: have some Ashganazi Jewish features because I have some Ashgarazi
Speaker 2: Jewish blood from my mom's dad has never raised Jewish
Speaker 2: and my mom was raised Roman Catholic. I'm Roman Catholic.
Speaker 2: But before and we'll see what happens under Musk, But
Speaker 2: before before Twitter cracked down on the box, people would say,
Speaker 2: I don't think I knew prior to the TV show
Speaker 2: how much like real anti Semitism was out there. But
Speaker 2: then when I first got on TV, there were a
Speaker 2: I don't know a dozen accounts that would just tweet
Speaker 2: images of me because they thought it was Jewish being
Speaker 2: put in a gas chamber, different Holocaust stuff. The people
Speaker 2: that like hated me the most. Now I don't know
Speaker 2: what those accounts do. Maybe they got kicked off, but
Speaker 2: they've been gone for years. So I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, there's like a lot of hate there that
Speaker 2: I didn't I'd never really experienced, knew about. And I
Speaker 2: also have a unique experience on not being a black
Speaker 2: person but seeing how much obvious discrimination and hate and
Speaker 2: things work against black folks just by virtue of my family,
Speaker 2: but on the most minor level, from how we're treated
Speaker 2: in a restaurant if I drop you guys at the door,
Speaker 2: and you guys are waiting get the table before me,
Speaker 2: and then I walk in to the most significant ones,
Speaker 2: like when your mom and I were first moving in
Speaker 2: together and I went and signed the lease for an
Speaker 2: apartment by myself, and then when she came to look
Speaker 2: at it and the manager showed it to us, they
Speaker 2: then refused to rent it to us, and the like
Speaker 2: just just blatant housing discrimination, clearly along racial lines. So I,
Speaker 2: like you, I ain't a lot of folks who aren't
Speaker 2: a part of either group don't know how much each
Speaker 2: group deals with And then what you see is that
Speaker 2: the groups then very often start to blame each other,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of there's a lot of distrust
Speaker 2: and discrimination for other oppressed groups within oppressed groups, and
Speaker 2: this one are the two I guess oppressed groups that
Speaker 2: I have the closest connection to h And it just
Speaker 2: breaks my heart, breaks my heart. All right, let's have
Speaker 2: some fun. Now, let's play a game. Let's move on.
Speaker 2: Go ahead. What are we doing?
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 2: Is it a new game?
Speaker 4: We are playing a new game. It is Halloween, so
Speaker 4: we have a costume contest. Yeah, Happy Halloween, by the way, Yeah, listeners,
Speaker 4: and look at that.
Speaker 3: I knew there was gonna be some graphic.
Speaker 2: Man, it's me you Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields. Who's the
Speaker 2: who's the person the pumpkin?
Speaker 3: Oh? That's is that Justin Fields?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 3: I mean, not Justin Fields, it's.
Speaker 2: Tua in the pumpkin? Okay, all right, good, all right.
Speaker 2: I didn't guess because I wasn't sure. Demonsa, you look
Speaker 2: great in that dress. Somebody send me that image. Please
Speaker 2: send me a screenshot of that.
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead.
Speaker 4: We saw a bunch of teams and players dress up yesterday.
Speaker 4: Time to see if you are in or out on
Speaker 4: their costumes and equals real deal out equals fake. Okay,
Speaker 4: all right, First off, we got tua is back from
Speaker 4: injury and looks great, passing for nearly four hundred yards. Yesterday,
Speaker 4: you were in on two of this season saying he
Speaker 4: wouldn't be the starter next year. This Halloween, Tua t
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 2: Not in on two of this season ye saying yeah,
Speaker 2: I was not in saying you wouldn't be the starter
Speaker 2: next year.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Yeah, yeah, Tua Tea was dressed up as
Speaker 4: the top ten quarterback in or out on his costume.
Speaker 2: I mean they're undefeated with him as the starter. He
Speaker 2: is playing really well. I listen, and I think that
Speaker 2: he is going to be the starter next year. I
Speaker 2: will give them credit. I will say I was wrong
Speaker 2: on that top ten quarterback. We're gonna have to are
Speaker 2: we gonna have to list the quarterbacks like has he
Speaker 2: been a top ten quarterback this year? Yes? Do I
Speaker 2: believe he is a top ten quarterback? No? And I
Speaker 2: gotta say my colleague Joy Taylor, and I think Ocho
Speaker 2: did it too, But I know Joy did it. Joy's mad.
Speaker 2: I think fake mad that Ocho is getting credit for
Speaker 2: saying something that she said first, and I'm here to
Speaker 2: tell him both neither one of y'all should want credit
Speaker 2: for this take, because you're gonna have to run from
Speaker 2: it into the hills. It's as crazy of a take
Speaker 2: as I've heard anyone give on our network in forever.
Speaker 3: It is it's the quarterback coach thing.
Speaker 2: No, it's that too is better than Justin Herbert, guys
Speaker 2: piped Guys, calm down because Herbert went right after two
Speaker 2: in the draft, and everyone's like, oh my god, the
Speaker 2: Dolphins screwed up by not drafting Herbert, and now they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: did we do it too early? It seems like you
Speaker 2: might believe too us better than Justin Herbert.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me tell you guys right now that take
Speaker 2: will not age.
Speaker 3: Well, well, we find that out like next year of
Speaker 3: the year after.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but Herbert is Herbert and Tua are
Speaker 2: not in the same tier of quarterback ability. I give
Speaker 2: to a credit. He's not going to get replaced this
Speaker 2: offseason the way I thought. But top ten quarterback is
Speaker 2: he right now? Is in the same bucket Gino Smith is,
Speaker 2: which is they have played like a top ten quarterback
Speaker 2: this year. They are not a top ten quarterback perpetually
Speaker 2: in my opinion. All right, next, all right.
Speaker 4: The twenty twenty one quarterback class, Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson,
Speaker 4: Schrey Lance, Justin Fields, and Matt Jones was supposed to
Speaker 4: be a once in a generation class. Instead, they've been
Speaker 4: playing pretty bad across the board. But Justin Field seems
Speaker 4: to be turning it around. Justin Fields is dressed up
Speaker 4: as the best quarterback of the twenty twenty one class.
Speaker 2: In or out on this costume, I'm out?
Speaker 3: Okay, let's okay? Are we out? Are we out?
Speaker 4: Because Trevor Lawrence has a better costume one that can't
Speaker 4: be why.
Speaker 2: I still want to believe in Trevor Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: Oh I mean Trey Lance.
Speaker 2: I mean that's the only one that he hasn't played
Speaker 2: and he got his ankle broke. Max stinks, Max stinks,
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson is lost, and Trey's been injured. Justin Field's
Speaker 2: I give him credit. He's with the top dog of
Speaker 2: the of his class, which is unbelievable because he was
Speaker 2: the one that was playing the worst. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: gone very quickly, but they're letting him run now more
Speaker 2: and we'll see when he gets real weapons and stuff.
Speaker 2: I still believe in Trevor. Here is my here's my
Speaker 2: Trevor defense. Because guys are supposed to take a jump
Speaker 2: between year one and year two. And it looked like
Speaker 2: he was saying the jump. He said, it's undeniable. We're
Speaker 2: a good team. And since then the lost five in
Speaker 2: a row, and he keeps throwing interceptions to lose games.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to pretend like his rookie year under
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer never happened, so that would make this his
Speaker 2: rookie year. So next year's the jump. I still believe
Speaker 2: in them. You know what, stuff around for you. You
Speaker 2: know what last year, here's the deal. If you are
Speaker 2: selling your Trevor Lawrence stock right now at an all
Speaker 2: time low, I will buy it. I will buy the
Speaker 2: dip so is say send it over to me. I'll
Speaker 2: buy the Trevor Lawrence stock next.
Speaker 3: All right? Uh.
Speaker 4: Minnesota won a tough game against Kyler and the Cardinals,
Speaker 4: taking their record to six and one. They're basically a
Speaker 4: lock for the NFC North. Already, the Vikings are dressed
Speaker 4: up as a possible NFC one seed in er out
Speaker 4: on their costume.
Speaker 2: I gotta look at their schedule. Possible one seed, No,
Speaker 2: I'm out two tough schedule. They're at the Bills, they
Speaker 2: have a home game against the Cowboys. They're at the
Speaker 2: Packers and what will be a desperation game for the Packers.
Speaker 2: They still have played the Giants, they still play the Jets,
Speaker 2: and those aren't easy wins. I'm out that one's easy next,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 4: Two former XFL stars PJ Walker and Taylor Henny Heney
Speaker 4: both had really impressive games Sunday. Heineke led a game
Speaker 4: winning drive and PJ Walker through a game tyme hil
Speaker 4: Mary that Pat Mahomes tweeted was the best throw of
Speaker 4: the year and not even close. PJ Walker and Taylor
Speaker 4: Heineke are just up as starting quarterbacks. Are you in
Speaker 4: or out on their costumes?
Speaker 2: Listen? I do I need to see more from PJ.
Speaker 2: I've always thought Taylor's fine. They they are. They are
Speaker 2: right on the border of excellent backup terrible starter. Okay,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like so the do I
Speaker 2: think that they can If they're your backup and they
Speaker 2: have to start a few games for you, you feel
Speaker 2: fine if they if you go into the season like
Speaker 2: Taylor Heineke's my starting quarterback, You're like, oh, we're screw
Speaker 2: So they are. I guess I'm out on them as
Speaker 2: starting quarterbacks. But if they have to start for you, you're okay,
Speaker 2: does that make you know? If you can't your plan
Speaker 2: can't be this guy is gonna be my start. But
Speaker 2: in PJ Walker, Listen, PJ didn't make an amazing throw.
Speaker 2: He also made some terrible decisions in that game, So like, yeah,
Speaker 2: they are great backup quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: Next Jeeves, you just that's hilarious.
Speaker 4: All right, So congrats thanks to the intervention on this show,
Speaker 4: you didn't lose money on the Jags. This week, the
Speaker 4: Broncos took care of business in London and save Natt
Speaker 4: Hackett from needing to swim back to America. Nick dressed
Speaker 4: up as a responsible gambler for Halloween. How do you
Speaker 4: like your costume?
Speaker 2: I liked it a lot, won a lot of money,
Speaker 2: had a great weekend gambling. Hit the We're not going
Speaker 2: to get into the details of it on the show, okay,
Speaker 2: but our Thursday night, uh triple Luca bet, Yeah, hit
Speaker 2: hit It again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's probably on Hit.
Speaker 2: It again on Saturday. And by the way, that one,
Speaker 2: uh Demonday, and I bet Luca to get a triple level.
Speaker 2: That's I guess we can talk about it right there.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: And we watched him do it on Thursday in person
Speaker 2: and Saturday he had nine assists and they were up
Speaker 2: fifteen in the fourth and they blew the lead and
Speaker 2: it went to overtime and he got the triple level
Speaker 2: in overtime. It was insane. Now they lost the game,
Speaker 2: which was horrifying. But I was in such a weird
Speaker 2: spot because Luca had a game winning shot that I
Speaker 2: wanted him to miss, so it went to overtime so
Speaker 2: I could hit this all that and he did miss it.
Speaker 2: All right, let's read some listener questions that by the way,
Speaker 2: Luca how much he hates the rats.
Speaker 3: Hilarious.
Speaker 2: He's the best, He is the best. Go ahead, all.
Speaker 4: Right, So our first question from the fans here we
Speaker 4: got Patrino says, Monte looks like he is dressing up
Speaker 4: as John Stocked and on vacation.
Speaker 3: Those shorts are shorts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's listen, guys, when you're hitting five leg parlays
Speaker 4: on Sunday, you can wear whatever you want.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, is just making rules.
Speaker 3: Let's get it.
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean he should be wearing swim trunks. These are shorts,
Speaker 2: swim trunks.
Speaker 3: And these are they're climbing shorts. Actually they've got a
Speaker 3: little thing on.
Speaker 2: A caribbean or on them.
Speaker 3: Exactly, I could get something.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna climb? What? And what do you
Speaker 2: mean they're climbing shorts because they've got the thing. I
Speaker 2: don't think that's just for like, I don't think your
Speaker 2: climb mountains in shorts.
Speaker 4: Next, Pete, ask if the Steelers land in the top
Speaker 4: three of the draft they go quarterback again, like like
Speaker 4: Cardinals did with Kyler Kyler Murray, Oh, I.
Speaker 2: Think you probably have to. I think you Maybe they don't,
Speaker 2: maybe they trade out of it. Let's see, how can
Speaker 2: he Pickett plays? That's a great question, See how picket
Speaker 2: because maybe because the series needs a lot of stuff,
Speaker 2: maybe they can. What he's talking about is the Cardinals
Speaker 2: drafted Josh Rose in tenth or eleventh the very nextra
Speaker 2: number one pick, and drafted Kyler and just gone, yeah,
Speaker 2: see if you but you could get a bounty in
Speaker 2: this year's quarterback draft for that one of those top
Speaker 2: three picks. So that's an you know what, I gotta
Speaker 2: think more about it that, I gotta watch pick it
Speaker 2: more before you make that determination.
Speaker 4: Next question, Pete Juice was Juicy Beatsko. He makes it
Speaker 4: every single time.
Speaker 2: We love we love this.

Speaker 4: to perform like a top ranked quarterback all season.
Speaker 3: What are the Seahawks' chances to win the division? Gino's
Speaker 3: chances to win.
Speaker 2: The MVP, but Gino's not gonna win MVP. They have
Speaker 2: a I'd say a thirty percent chance to win the division.
Speaker 2: I would say sixty five percent, San Francisco thirty percent,
Speaker 2: Seattle five percent. The other two teams the am I
Speaker 2: Arizona and the Rams or the other. So that's first
Speaker 2: of all. Uh, And I think Gino's gonna keep playing well.
Speaker 2: I don't he's gonna win MVP, but I think he's
Speaker 2: gonna keep playing well, all right.
