Welcome in watch right with Nick right episode 213 a ton to do today Deon once again back in the chair playing through pain which we appreciate good to see you looking great that is a great looking shirt is marathon is that the is that the store in LA yeah is that nipy hustle
Store hustle brand yeah yeah that’s what I thought that’s awesome that’s a great looking shirt I I think I’ve worn this sweatshirt four times on the Pod uh but it’s a little homage to your sister it’s stor is college so I it’s the only repeatedly but I like it uh UC see Santa
Cruz sweatshirt I’ll get you one I’ll send you one I like it yeah no it’s cool and it has the little banana slug poking out of the pocket down here it’s pretty cool I’m not bad at showing things on camera but the if you’re watching on
YouTube you can you can see that by the way you know something I realized I’ve stopped telling people to like subscribe rate review for basically the last year comforable um and I’m now seeing all these podcasts just crushing us I think we’re doing really good work
But we’ve said we’ve kind of plateaued a bit on the subscribers and the ratings so I’m going to because I don’t ask often and because I think I’ve earned it by hopefully helping you guys make money betting the Chiefs in the playoffs as underdogs if you could do me the
Following favor and we’re going to pay it back on this show and in other shows if you could leave a review that would be great if you could give us five stars that would of course be awesome and then if you could definitely subscribe uh on Spotify or iTunes wherever you listen
And on our YouTube page subscribing on the YouTube page would be greatly appreciated and I’m wondering if post football season if we might have some content YouTube exclusive via dman in Los Angeles he and I haven’t talked about this but I’ve been thinking about it about whether or not you could do
Some Standalone content for the YouTube page whether it’s streaming or something I’m not sure but I just think it could be a good thing in the offseason yeah I meant to tell you about it but I wanted to get your your your immediate reaction
So uh so if you could subscribe to us on YouTube it would be greatly appreciated and we have a giveaway that we’re doing today and throughout the week that we’ll get into in just a moment but first here’s what missed the cut for today’s show uh Steph Curry versus Sabrina
Ionescu apologies if I mispronounced that in the Three-Point Contest that’s going to be awesome Travis Kelce not attending the Grammys he has a Super Bowl to play and Dame returns to Portland yet the Bucks lose and later in the show we’re going to be giving away
Some we’re going to have our first ever what’s right right show giveaway I will explain that in moments but before we do that Deon let’s get right to what the top of the show topic is which is of course the Chiefs the Chiefs right on the cusp is at solidifying theirself as
A dynasty going to the Super Bowl four times in the last five years on the cost of winning the third one in the last five years but for some reason they are still underdogs in this game uh could you explain that and do you think that they deserve to be underdogs in this
Game against the 49ers 49ers are obviously pretty good 49ers are really good but the 49ers have not really played their best ball over the last five six weeks Baltimore crushed them they had you know less than impressive performances right or before and after that game and in both of these
Playoff games the ners have looked super vulnerable particularly on the back end of their defense here is the crazy thing about the Chiefs in the the playoffs the last two years they’ve consistently been underdogs AFC title game last year in Arrowhead opened Cincinnati favored by a
Point and a half in Arrowhead now that line ended up moving to where the chiefs were the one one and a half Point favorites at kickoff but it started Cincinnati is the favorite the Super Bowl neutral sight against Philly Philly one point Point favorite round two in
Buffalo Buffalo three and a half Point favorites round or the AFC title game this year against Baltimore Baltimore closed at a fivepoint favorite and then the Super Bowl opened San Francisco minus three and a half got bet all the way down to San Francisco minus one a
Half and has now been bet back up to San Francisco minus two and a half and so they they have allowed the Chiefs to credibly be the nobody believes in US team despite the fact that I think everyone would acknowledge that this postseason at the very least the Chiefs
Have looked far better than San Francisco has now the Chiefs have two significant injuries going into this game that San Francisco does not Joe Toney the all prole guard who got hurt in the Bills game it looks like he’s not going to be able to go even in the Super
Bowl they hold out hope but probably not and Charles aminu the one of their major offseason free agent acquisitions the defensive end he tore his ACL sadly in the AFC title game and this is brutal for him man he was a Niner he has talked Super Bowl all year he has talked about
How he signed with the Chiefs to get to the Super Bowl and a game before you get to the Super Bowl and a Mino was the one who had the strip sack on Lamar he you know he’s been excellent for the Chiefs he missed the first six games of the year with a
Suspension so those are major losses we’ll see about Willie gay we’ll see about Derek NY two chiefs that starting uh Chiefs defensive players who had to missed the previous week uh against the Ravens and n’s missed I think the last two games in fact I know he has he
Missed the Bills game as well but I I think the wrong team’s favored and we’ll do more Super Bowl stuff uh next week but I it is I I’m actually happy that the Chiefs have that little bulletin board material that they’re The Underdogs but I I want to this is what I
Want to do here I want to tell you guys about our giveaway and then I want to discuss what I think in retrospect might be the single biggest game in NFL history but here’s our giveaway so as you guys know I never had a doubt about
The Chiefs this year here I have I got the tattoo that says it as much and this is what we’re doing for you guys you guys can join me in being right about the team if you also have no doubt about the Chiefs in the Super Bowl we can get
You a temporary never a doubt tattoo in the exact same script as mine so you can show your solidarity all you have to do is tag us on social media at what’s right show and explain why you’re rolling with the Chiefs and include the hashtag never a doubt we’ll pick our
Favorites and send you a replica of my never ad doubt tattoo for you to show off at your Super Bowl party make sure you have your DMs open so we can reach out to you if you win but again tag us at what’s right show use hash never
Adoubt and about why you believe the Chiefs are going to win and we’ll send you a never adoubt Chief’s tattoo we’ll pick out our favorites and then I’ll find some ways to maybe do some in-person giveaways of these maybe we’ll have some extras here at tentage uh that
People can you know come by and pick up so we’ll do all that but first and foremost tag it Damon also has never a doubt tattooed on his forearm but his is in Korean but Dean didn’t you know dman show it’s right there it’s not
There it is yeah he got it in very big letters in Korean never a doubt uh I had doubts when he got that tattoo but little did I know he was ahead of the Curve um all right I want to talk about what now we might look at on as one of
The single biggest games in NFL history because if momes wins on Sunday there is going to be a lot of could he be the goat conversation but that conversation runs into two significant hurdles one is s to3 Rings Brady to momes and the other
Is M Brady beat him head up in a Super Bowl in Tampa I know some people will bring up the fact that Brady also beat him in the AFC title game Mahomes first year as a starter that one is less noteworthy to me because Mahomes played a perfect game Brady through multiple
Interceptions that you know momes by any metric outplayed Tom in that game and then didn’t get the ball in overtime and time had his best Drive of the game at the end and in overtime uh but the Super Bowl’s the Super Bowl and the chiefs were the defending champs the chiefs
Were the favorites the Chiefs had beaten them in the regular season and the Chiefs got their ass kicked and so for all those reasons Mahomes has a very tough Hill to climb in the goat conversation so just as a thought exercise Deon let let’s pretend for a
Moment the Chiefs had beaten the Bucks in that Super Bowl and when we talk about the biggest names and people in NFL history how that one game going differently would change everyone’s legacies and thoughts okay start with Bill bich how much of Bill bellich che’s current kind of slide in standing has
Been because Tom Brady left him and immediately won a Super Bowl as opposed to if the Chiefs had won that game it would have been well you played Mahomes and Andy in the playoffs with bellich you won the game you played him in the Super Bowl without him you lost the game
But more so from Bill if Patrick wins on Sunday the Super Bowl total is going to be 73 Tom Patrick with Tom having been two and0 in the playoffs against him again flip the result of that one Super Bowl now it’s 6 to four momes would have won four in five
Years which no one has ever done they’d be one and one in the playoffs against each other and I think most people would say oh he’s going to become if not already the greatest player ever that one game the things it changed as far as how also Tom people would say what they
Kind of now say about Bill they would say well he was good without bill but never you know never was able to get over the hump never was able to win the Super Bowl and he won one in his second to last year with the Patriots that one
Game The Butterfly Effect it has on the rest of the league as far as legacies the Chiefs would already have had a backto back and the way we look at the goat debate it’s wild to me because the difference between it being currently 7
To2 and maybe here in a few weeks 7 to3 versus it being six to3 and maybe in a few weeks six to four it might be a hurdle too high for Patrick to overcome for the count the Rings folks but it is it also makes me happy that that game
Wasn’t in retrospect close because I think it would more and you blew it the Chiefs just getting their ass kicked start to finish other people have asked me about the one other you know playoff loss to Brady in the 2018 season and how much that burns the D for off sides game all
That I’ve now come to peace with this I truly believe had the Chiefs won that game they wouldn’t have fired Bob Sutton the in over his head defensive coordinator and then brought in Steve spagnolo who in my opinion has been the fourth most important person of this
Dynasty it goes Andy I’m sorry it goes Patrick then Andy then Travis and then Steve Spagnola but if the Chiefs had beaten the Patriots and made the Super Bowl I don’t think they bring in Bob Sutton I don’t think they bring in Steve spagnolo so I’m kind of at peace with that loss
Specifically um but everything that’s happened since then if it all rolls the same but the Chiefs find a way to win that Super Bowl against Tampa we are having totally different discussions but such is life and now they got to take care of Brock and the 49ers and let’s go
Ahead and get to them now Deon all right so the Avengers love nothing but uh hyping up Brock py and backing them up Christian McCaffrey just said the other day I don’t know when exactly it was but he said py takes takes a lot of heat for absolutely no
Reason it’s like he wasn’t there in the football game that they just played a few days ago are the 40 do you think the 49ers are overcompensating because they know roock py isn’t that good uh What do what do you think is going on there is it
Genuine I think it’s I think it’s a little genuine I think it’s a little genuine I think it’s a little trying to gas their guy up and build his confidence I also think that it’s a little straw Manny like I at this point Deon I’m starting
To be flattered that my voice in the sports media seems to have grown loud enough that me and Cam Newton and a couple other people saying pump the brakes on Brock p is League MVP has become this rallying cry to where Draymond Green is referencing this stuff
In in Warriors post games like I go ahead Damon yeah I was just about to say I didn’t see that I saw saw it in the rundown um I mean that kind of brings me to the followup do you think that Draymond Green might have said something to backup Brock party to slight
You uh yeah I do I mean yeah I mean I I think it’s at least part of it yeah I do I like so here’s the thing I it is odd to me that so much of the conversation is Brock Pie gets no respect when that convers ation is being
Had on in the same football Universe of Brock pie NFL MVP finalist Brock pie pro bowler Brock pie is like he is yeah you can’t say that nobody gives him respect in the argument is he should be MVP exactly and it’s and when he’s a finalist for MVP which means he’s top
Five vote getter this year so the the when they say the media doesn’t respect him the media is the one voting on MVP and he’s a finalist and so the the I I was and I said it on Tuesday I was impressed by some of the things he did
In the NFC Championship Game some of you know he played poorly obviously in large stretches of it but then he made some some of the scrambles were good he made a couple really nice throws running for job shoot yeah and I but I I think there
Is a level of projection and where I get frustrated and I talked by the way Damon Bruce speaking of subscribing things on YouTube if you’re a Bay Area sports fan uh Damon Bruce was in my opinion the best sports radio host in Bay Area history uh started his own YouTube
Channel and his own podcast that he went independent uh I went on with him last night for like 45 minutes you guys should subscribe to Damon Bruce plus uh if you for any anything Warriors Niners Bay Area related uh and he and I argued about Brock perie and here is to me what
Is so interesting about the pery thing his biggest supporters agree with me on so many things they just don’t like my delivery if you ask the biggest Brock pie supporters hey okay no matter what you think of him are there Five Guys on the ners offense better than him they’ll
Sheepishly try to change the subject and then typically admit yes Trent Christian KD auk Debo all five of those guys are better at their jobs than pry is at his and my frustration argum is but those other guys aren’t the Trent Williams that isn’t the position that usually
Gets MVPs like a couple of those position I aren’t even really like in the race so to speak for MVP of course no no that’s absolutely right the I I don’t disagree with you on that the my my point is though we Trent Williams only gets Christian mcaffrey never gets asked
Man how good is Trent Williams Brandon iuk never gets asked how good is George KD these guys who are A+ players are then asked about and I get it it’s the quarterback like how good as Brock and I feel like we are we are efforting to
Build up Brock 32 a degree where it almost by default takes away some from the actual great players but we’ll see man like you couldn’t have asked for a better scenario for folks that have won wanted my Brock py take to be a classic Category 3 when I’m confident it’s going
To be a classic Category 2 go ahead I got sh I got shut out last week when this topic came up but uh but exactly what you said was going to happen is h no I’m not saying that Brock p is going to go and beat Mahomes but this is like
Nightmare fuel for you like the 49ers of guyan notes play the Chiefs in the Super Bowl and if Brock party beats the Chiefs in the Super Bowl it’s I I’m I’m truly going to feel for you like genuinely I’m going to be sad for you I mean I went through something
Similar the last time the chiefs were going for a repeat which was I was the guy all year long doubting Brady with the bucks now it’s a different type of Doubt because Brady obviously was you know already the goat but um but I was saying that I thought he wasn’t the same
Player that uh you know I would love if the Chiefs got to play them in the super Super Bowl which by the way that I have never said about San Francisco because I have so much respect for that roster and that team as a whole it’s I’ve never
Said like oh that would be the dream Super Bowl matchup uh and then Tom Brady played the Chiefs in the Super Bowl and they kicked their ass and I had to eat it and wear it all off season this is now any other NFC team that made it I would be on a
Total take for three roll if the Cowboys made it in one I pick the Cowboys all year right if the Lions made it in one I haven’t been one of those people calling the Lions frauds like I’ve been like hey that’s a good team that uh if Baker made
It and won I almost get more credit than if Mahomes had right uh if the oh I guess you if the Eagles had done it I would have had to a little egg on my face because I had been but the Eagles were the Eagles had as good a chance of
Winning three playoff games as the Panthers did the way they looked going into the playoffs the Packers I would have just been happy for you you know what I mean nobody’s like oh Nick you’ve hated on the Packers and the Rams I the last two months I was saying that I
Thought they could make the Super Bowl out of the NFC I you know I picked them to be in the conference Championship game no the N the ners are the the ners are the only one which but it also could be the single best like it
Also there is a game script here where momes drives down the field and gets a quick seven and just part just folds and all that stuff comes to light talking about where the where the Chiefs get an early lead the ners make a mistake or they get stopped or their crummy rookie kicker
Misses a field goal and before you know it it’s 10 nothing Kanas City and I know the Niners have had comebacks this postseason but they start pressing a bit right and then all of a sudden we have some tip passes we have some pry Hospital balls we have some ducks over
The middle of the field like there is a script where and here’s the other thing I’ll say about the pry stuff I think the ners should Tamp down the conversation surrounding him for two reasons one I this guy hasn’t blinked I give him credit the Super Bowl is going
To feel different two weeks leading up to it staring across the field at Patrick Mahomes knowing what is at stake for him for his career Legacy all of it it’s going to feel different ERS the fact that the biggest storyline going into the game is going to
Be here’s Brock P’s Arc here’s Tom Brady’s Arc here’s Brock P’s Arc here’s Joe Montana’s Arc that’s going to be the storyline and some you know tricky television producers are also going to do here was Brock pie this season here’s Patrick Mahomes this season and there is going to be a a I
Think added undo pressure on the kid because his teammates are you know so leaning into him being the story here’s the other thing that I believe is going going to happen I believe some San Francisco 49er at media night at the Super Bowl is going to say the seemingly innocuous
Thing that most people would say in this spot and as soon as they say it my buddy Bobby Stroop Patrick mahomes’s personal trainer will find the clip and tweet it out which means he sent it to Patrick and the quote is going to be this San Francisco 49er X call it uh maybe
George KD I think Brock is the best quarterback in the NFL end quote and that is not seemingly a shot but I’m telling you it will be viewed as one and so I think that’s quarterbacks aren’t even in the Super Bowl well but it will be like the I
Don’t think anyone is going to say the words I think Brock is better than momes I don’t think they’re going to say that but I do think someone will say he’s the best quarterback in the NFL which Mahomes is in the NFL so justk you know
What I mean just kind of file that away and we’ll see if it happens uh before we get to the Cowboys and bellich uh we have some early contest entries that we can throw up on the screen again uh tag at what right show and use hash never a
Doubt uh if you want to try to get one of these free temporary tattoos the House of Cards says or or the House of Cards tweeted the House of Cards tweeted I believe in the Chiefs because of 15 Patrick R can’t be stopped I can’t say
Never a doubt for most of the season but I’ll never doubt 15 again I appreciate the honesty there buddy uh the nittens says I’ve been trying to tell everyone that they just won the Super Bowl with the same receiving core no one ever listens I get called fake fan B
Bandwagoner Etc but I’m really just about the facts if Mahomes is playing I’m not betting against him smart man uh and then Dylan M says why the Kansas City Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl better Coach better defense far better uh quarterback gets throw to the
Goat tight end it’s really that simple at what’s right show hash never a doubt love it so keep sending those in and we’ll pick some winners what’s up to mon did you want to say something or you want to move on to the Cowboys no that
Was that was that was awesome guys don’t bet against Patrick Mahomes but uh on to the Cowboys or yeah let’s do it uh so um yeah Jerry Jones he start the pot yesterday and he said that uh he believes that he and B bill bich could definitely work well together I think
We’re going to pull up the quote board yeah there’s no doubt in my mind we could work together none none yo why did he do this and should we send him a never a doubt sticker for his new relationship um he’s out of his mind and not because why would he do
That right it’s not that I disagree that he and bich could work together but you kept McCarthy like could you imagine Deon could could like if trying to think of a good example here if it became very well known that uh who’s a great Sports podcaster I’ll use Kevin Clark I think
He’s awesome I think Kevin Clark he does stuff for Omaha I think he’s awesome um if Kevin Clark was very publicly looking for a new podcasting role and you were very publicly on the hot seat here and I make an announcement we’re bringing Deon back we you know what we didn’t like the
What how the last year ended but we’re bringing him back and then a week later I tell Andrew marshand oh do I think me and Kevin Clark could work well together you bet your ass I we could absolutely yeah no I no doubt hey you would then be like wait a minute here
Like how hot is my seat and here’s the so here’s the man genie on the show yesterday said he thinks it’s more than on the board that bich never gets another job that nobody I was saying the same thing to some of my some of my colleagues yesterday they thought I was
Insane no so he’s I mean he’s not gonna get a job this cycle and so then he would be the oldest coach ever in NFL history oldest head coach a year from now and that is I that is to me unfathomable but maybe it’s true here’s the thing
That Colin has brought up a bunch that I think Warren’s mentioning there are in my opinion five a-lister quarterbacks Deon who their head coach starts next year on The semiot or Red Hot Seat okay Josh Allen with McDermot jayen with serani Dak with uh McCarthy McCarthy Trevor with Doug
Peterson and Caleb with the head coach of the Bears erlu I think all I think any of those five coaches could be fired if next year goes poorly I would expect at least a couple of them probably to be fired so unlike this year where there was only one
A-list quarterback Herbert with a coaching vacancy available next year there could be a handful and if you’re bellich I honestly think the Cowboys of those five potential jobs are the least attractive I think because of the ownership because of dak’s contract and because of some of the things D like
It’s just like I don’t think that’s going to end up going anywhere well so that’s the concern that’s the concern is exactly that is that the and now maybe bellich could unlock it but if if you again I don’t know that he’ll have his choice of jobs
But if I were him the idea of getting Trevor to a higher level getting Josh to just cut out some of the turnovers building there going to Philly getting jayen back to where he was along with having that dline personnel and the Caleb thing I don’t think the Bears
Would hire 73y old I think Phil bill for that that’s why I thought Philly should fire serani and bring in Bill immediately uh but they didn’t all right let’s go uh speaking of coaching uh I mean we’re kind of doing it did it there but we can get more into it here right
So obviously there’s been a huge coaching fi go a lot of jobs opening up a lot of jobs being closed in on bellich curl and Vel are still available obviously but Ben Johnson managed to stay put uh there’s one opening left and it doesn’t seem like they’re likely to
Pick any of those guys how do we go from so many there being so many coaches to coaches being snubbed and an abundance of coaches and now it’s just man so I don’t know the Ben Johnson thing it you know it was reported that he wanted crazy money and that that turned some
Teams off uh Vel I think is confident he can get a really good job so when the charger job wasn’t there he went went to Harbaugh he wanted to fall back I don’t know how much of a market there I I guess was for Carol and bellich because of their age I
Think that probably works against them but I also think to reference back to what I said earlier if you’re one of those guys and you believe you can get a job waiting a year is not the worst idea like where if you believe that the Cowboys Eagles bills those three at
Least one if not two of those three could come open what was very surprising was no team that made the playoffs fired their coach that usually happens that a team makes the playoffs but was disappointing like like what happened with the Eagles or just Falls totally flat on their face
Like happened with the cowboys that despite making the playoffs they fir their coach but they didn’t all right keep the never a doubt just tag at what’s right show and hash never a doubt and you don’t have to have what’s right show at the front of the Tweet if you

Of our favorites in the sea block all right uh dman what are we doing here now oh we’ve got one we can show sorry all right let’s see I’m seeing the I’m seeing black on my screen so I can’t see what you guys have up there it is yeah okay Patrick
Mahomes reminding the rest of the NL how many counts of whoopass he saw is available that’s a decent meme from movie uh that’s uh I I don’t know what it’s from I’ll be honest with you I’m not sure but uh shout out I think that’s Beck himself
Who entered the contest uh all right Deon let’s go on to the LeBron and the Lakers so we are a week away from the trade deadline and the NBA trade deadline to be and LeBron is already tweeting we’re going to show those on YouTube uh an hour The Hourglass twet
Tweeted The Hourglass where time is running out not The Hourglass where it just started that is noty so the two hour glass option he tweeted the one yeah that where time is running out go ahead you guys are such big babies but you said you don’t you said you don’t
Think well he’ll demand a trade but still hope the Lakers trade him uh would LeBron’s Legacy take a hit with a mid-season trade or like maybe that tweet was about Darvin ham oh I think it probably was about darham uh but uh but firing the coach the Lakers don’t
Have a move they can make to make him uh Championship caliber all right there’s just not there isn’t one they could improve they could fire the coach they could try to acquire Zack LaVine or Deonte Murray but I don’t know that that makes him Championship caliber it’s
Crazy that LeBron and AD have been healthy all year and they’re a 500 team uh I would like LeBron to be traded that he could go there are three teams out east right now that I think are a tick below Championship caliber that if he went there could win the whole thing the
Heat the Sixers or the Knicks I think all three of those teams would be with LeBron good enough to win the title and if LeBron were to say to the Lakers because LeBron’s a free agent after this year I’m leaving after this season so why don’t you get something back for
Me I think it could be great for all parties I just don’t think he’ll do it I think one of the reasons he won’t do it is because I think he wants to be for the rest of this season in Los Angeles so he can watch bronny play I think that
He’s not gonna you know he’s never done a midseason move where all of a sudden you know his daughter and other son he’s not going to be able to be around them and I think he takes a lot of pride in the fact that he has honored every
Contract he’s ever signed he’s never asked out he’s never demanded a trade he has only left teams via free agency when the contract has expired and so I think he takes pride in it I do think it’s a shame though this year because the Lakers are not good enough
And uh and he’s just so that that’s where we’re at on the Lakers also NBA don’t have the trade deadline be 3 days before the Super Bowl from just like a Content perspective push it back to a week after the Super Bowl and you’ll get all the conversation I don’t like I just
Think it’s bad from a strategy perspective but go ahead Damonte so Dan Quinn just went to the con to the commanders breaking news oh wait oh I saw that that might be happening no no no that that was good I’m I’m the I’m I’m done with the LeBron stuff yeah I I
Saw this morning that somebody reported that was close uh I don’t know that that’s a great hire for the record uh mean the Cowboys decoin did a a good job there until the playoffs well bemy is not going to get a job it would appear like that’s another discussion for
Another day he wasn’t even discussed in this cycle like he wasn’t even one of the people that was getting overlooked um the I would love for I’d love for him to come back to the Chiefs I don’t know that he will the reason I don’t know
That I love this for the commanders is they have the number two pick of the draft they’re going to draft either Drake May or Jaden Daniels ideally I would like to marry him with an offensive coach instead you’re going to have a scenario where Dan Quinn hires an
Offensive coordinator if it goes great then that offensive coordinator will then get plucked away and then the quarterback is on you know what I mean so here one of the so one of the secrets to the Patriots dynasty was being in a really Josh McDaniels was the offensive
Coordinator left did such a terrible job in Denver that once he got fired no one wanted him as the head coach and he eventually went back to New England and Brady got to just even though he had a defensive coach have the same offensive mind with him for like another decade
Because he wasn’t getting any other head coaching jobs until the Raiders got desperate and gave him the job couple years ago once Brady was already gone so the Chiefs by the way have something similar on the other side that was talking about with spagnolo Andy hires spagnolo spagnolo’s head coaching tenure
With the Rams was such a disaster no one interviews him for head coaching jobs and Andy can just turn the defense over to him and while Andy could lose offensive coordinators because he’s an offensive-minded coach he can then get more involved I just the Dan Quin hire is
Uninspiring uh in my opinion oh Matt Ford I forgot is a commander fan Matt you want to jump on the mic Matt how are you feeling buddy I’m sorry like I assume he wanted Ben Johnson I don’t know if yeah I don’t know if he wants to
Jump here I’ll I’ll put it in the I’ll put it in the script you’re on yeah oh is he on the air or not okay he say time you can hire the guy who gave up 50 who gave up 50 points to Jordan love in a
Playoff game you have to do it yeah I mean he’s not coming off a great performance there’s I mean there’s no there’s no question there all right Deon let’s play public defender we are playing public defender all right so the Pro Bowl the Pro Bowl alternates were announced and Gardner menu got selected
In the AFC uh oh so you probably thought we were going to have you defend Gardner Vu making the Pro Bowl but that’s not what we’re having you do you will be making the case for your favorite quarterback getting snubbed uh counselor defend your client Josh Allen so I I
Don’t think I have to defend him I think Josh Allen opted out I think the way the Pro Bowl alternates work is this if they have to go to an Alternet they call a guy and say hey if you’re named will you go and I think Josh said no so then they
Had to go down further down the list so here is I I’m not actually going to do a public defender on this just because I think it’s obviously Josh was better this year than Gardner it also was a weird spot where Josh was an MVP
Finalist uh but not a pro bowler uh the and the so he was an MVP finalist over Tua over momes who again I’m not saying were MVPs but those guys were named to the Pro Bowl Josh wasn’t uh here’s would Tyler Huntley not have been worthy of that last year yeah last year
Or M Jones a couple years ago so that that’s how those guys end up getting getting in but now that there’s not an actual football game I don’t think we need alternates I think you name the official roster and if guys don’t go or don’t show up then you just adjust the
Little skills competitions on the Fly I don’t think you need all alternates and because it it screws up the history books when it’s like this guy was a pro bowler and this guy wasn’t like the idea that by Pro Bowl records Gardner menu had a better year this year than CJ
Strout or Josh Allen and maybe CJ took someone else’s spot I’m not sure uh is crazy to me all right next all right so Kevin Durant returned to Brooklyn for the first time since being traded last night even KD had said in quote please don’t do the night oh we we will be
Better off without it uh end quote so of course the Nets did anyway to commemorate one epic run to the Eastern Conference simmies counselor defend your client the Brooklyn Nets this is very easy defense in the modern NBA everybody gets tribute videos Kevin Durant is in his short tenure
Still one of the greatest players in the history of our franchise we don’t have have post since we’ve been to Brooklyn a round two game seven of a round two is the furthest we’ve ever been in the playoffs KD was awesome for us here it didn’t end great and here’s the other
Thing that I will say to defend my client the Brooklyn Nets we have a sneaking suspicion that had there been an announcement before Kevin said anything that we were not doing a tribute video he would have been pissed so he he can go ahead and say don’t do
It I need it honestly like why why do we counselor sorry why do we care about KD being pissed if he demanded a trade out of the out of Brooklyn why do we care about this guy’s that’s no no I understand that but my point is far lesser players have gotten tribute
Videos I don’t know when we jumped the shark on tribute videos but now it means really did you ever play for us and have any meaningful moments we’re going to give you a tribute video and so that’s just the the hold on let me see if I can
Find the example saddest NBA tribute video um saddest the well so sad is maybe the hold on worst player to get Robert video no it’s not video it’s just a video I saw on YouTube honestly all right let Reddit might have an answer here I mean yeah so the Nets
Did one for Blake Griffin think about that the Nets did a tribute video for Blake Griffin oh I’ve got a better one the Cavs did one for little Isaiah Thomas who was on the team for 50 games before LeBron had him shipped out that not the Celtics Deon the Cavs did
It um and so the people the Norris Cole got one with the heat now he did win titles with the heat Norris that that might have been the worst one you listed to be honest but uh yeah but they at least actually G BL Griffin’s pretty
Bad uh Did T did I think the Lakers gave tailon Horton Tucker a tribute video this’s my point man everybody Reeves has a mural out here in LA right now oh that’s so uh oh the Hawks gave Dwight Howard a tribute video that’s crazy do you even remember Dwight Howard
Playing for the Hawks let me see how how many games he played for the Hawks Dwight played I’m I’m trying to pull it up right now uh Dwight played 74 games one season with the Hawks they G tribute video so this is my point everybody gets them all right
Next okay yesterday Maverick’s head coach Jason kid said Luca is past Durk and is the as the best player in the math franchise history and now is in the realm of Michael Jordan and LeBron James count defend your client Jason kid uh this is an open and shut case of
A man desperately trying to make sure Luca stays that Luca is you know a approaching pre agency as Simmons has dubbed it pre-f free agency the Mavs my you know my employer the Mavs have not done a great job building a team around him Lucas averaged 40 12 and 12 the last
Few weeks and we’re still barely hanging on to a playoff spot and I need to throw as many flowers his way as possible because we’re terrified that he is eventually going to demand a trade obviously he is not in the realm of Michael or Lebron and
Obviously he has not yet passed Dirk for the best player in Mavs history now what I will say is Luca is building a case in all seriousness to mon I’m I I I’m curious what your immediate reaction is going to be Luca is building a case that he
Is one of how do I put it on track to be one of the three greatest offensive players ever score He is building that case you know what I mean that just uh on and not scoring and creating because his assist numbers are crazy passing
Yeah it all and so he is not improved enough defensively to ever get in the forget the go conversation but the yeah but I mean even the even the top 10 all time he’s going to have to the the worst defender in the all-time Pantheon like
Top 12 14 guys the worst two Defenders are magic and step and and I get mag by the way similar size all that stuff um but magic went to nine finals and won five rings like that you know that’s going to be a that’s going to be
And one four League MVPs like that or three League MVPs that’s going to be a tough one for Luca uh but yeah Jason kids just trying to make sure Luca stays all right next the NBA is coming under Fire for their 60 5 game requirement to
Be eligible for awards like MVP and all NBA now players like embiid of course and Tyrese hurden are likely to miss out on claiming claiming those Awards due to injuries counselor defend your client the NBA uh my client the NBA fell victim to something we often do the old unintended
Consequences the old heart was in the right place but didn’t necessarily see some of the unintended con consequences of this also my client the NBA would like to stand by the 65 game requirement for League MVP uh that’s legitimate and if you look at NBA history the vast majority of MVPs
Played more than 70 games 65 shouldn’t have been a problem up until recently the all NBA stuff is trickier because of the money associated with it so dman Tyrese halberton has a contract that is is going so it’s a fiveyear $200 million deal that becomes a fiveyear
$240 million deal if he makes the all NBA team this year so the fact that he’s played up to that level but might not make it because he’s not going to meet the games or restriction that’s brutal and something the NBA should have anticipated and maybe created a
Workaround for cuz they’re not load managing him he got hurt but he’s been awesome so they they probably some typ right because like they just Incorporated that right I feel like with that just being being put in that they’ll create some type of structure to
Make it to where guys will get a some type of pass for that cuz halberton obviously out of his season yeah and they they they kind of maybe took uh you know a sledgehammer where you needed a scalpel with all that said the load management stuff is it sus a disaster
For the league and they need to find a way to get their arms around it I don’t think they’ve gotten it exactly right yet um all right we’re going to keep doing our tattoo give away I’m going to remind everyone about that and we’re going to uh answer some of your listener
Questions we’ll do that next next what’s right all right welcome back in watch right with Nick R episode 213 again we’re doing something we’ve never done before we’re doing a giveaway uh you can get a temporary never a doubt tat to if you’re you know believing the Chiefs for
This Super Bowl against the Niners all you got to do is tweet at what’s right show include the hash never doubt and why you believe in the Kan City Chiefs uh for the Super Bowl against the Niners we have your DMs open we’ll pick some of
Our favorites we’ll send them out to you guys before the Super Bowl and then also if you’re in the New York area we’ll do a maybe a giveaway here at trage and maybe we can set something up with Deon for the people out on the west coast uh
Mike bran says never doubt the Chiefs can you have potentially greatest player ever plays most important position you bet the farming him every time cherry on tops having two goats at their position with Kelsey and Reed love it uh so that’s a good tweet from Mike branch uh
Lifelong battle Hawks fan says defense looked amazing all year it was clear Reed Mahomes figured out how to make this at least a competent offense by January that is exactly right and it’s why I believed in them all year and someone that I can’t see because there
We go Ryan Hodes says been riding since day one in my Marcus Allen Jersey all right he definitely should get one I like that good job by him all right uh dman let’s read some listener questions before we wrap up the show Mel Clinton is asking the good stuff nille Clinton
Francis no disrespect he said Nick are you concern that Andy Reid and Mahomes aren’t going to have more than 10 years together to run the dynasty like belich and Brady did it’s heavy stuff so here’s the thing I’m not concerned the the there’s been odd Andy Reid retirement rumors floated repeatedly by
Florio and then uh all I saw that the other day uh people were like oh someone else has chimed in and it was Michelle tooya what that guys I’m here to tell you that the idea that Michelle tooya would have Insight on what Andy Reid or Patrick Mahomes is
Doing uh I mean I say this with I guess a modicum of respect but if it’s not some moral Panic about what books are available in your kid School library Michelle tooy is not your go-to Source on anything these days all right uh so
And then so I just I don’t think Andy is retiring and if you remember when momes agreed to the 10year contract he said that Andy told him he would stay as long as the contract now I don’t know if Patrick’s Gonna Keep Andy to that but
Patrick’s got N9 years left on the deal or eight years left on the deal and so so I I the the I’m not worried about any of the key pieces leaving well that’s not true Chris Jones could leave oh so I’m not worried about Travis I’m not
Worried about Travis leaving years so so I’ll tell you why well maybe just one but so the Chris Jones could leave in free agency and lerus Sneed could leave in free agency it would be shocking if the Chiefs could bring them both back I love both both those players love both
Those players Chris has been the best defensive player uh since Derek Thomas for the can City Chiefs and sneed’s one of the best draft picks of this era fourth round pick turning into maybe the best corner in football Sneed also has had a life full of tragedy that I mean
The the if people go back and read about sne there was um I I I yeah I mean it’s public record record uh but lerus Sneed there was an article written about him about three years ago two and a half years ago about how so many members of his family
Died early or were murdered and in that article he talks about how his brother basically led him through this and got you know what I mean looked over him helped him all of it and like two months after that article came out that brother was killed so Sneed has had a very very
Rough go of it has not made real money in the league I mean he’s been I I understand it’s all relative but he’s played in the NFL for four years he’s made just under $4 million so I hope lerus Sneed gets every dollar he possibly can get and can help set up who
You know what I mean and so those guys might be gone Andy’s not going anywhere and Travis is having too much fun is is still too good in the playoffs and here’s the other thing I think Taylor loves going to these games too much I think that Taylor is being like
Taylor is not fake supporting Travis at these games I this is Wild’s take but it is the right take Wild’s take is life is high school and in high school Taylor Swift was the band girl that the jocks didn’t pay any attention to and now she’s dating the star of the
Football team and having the time of her life and so the well yeah AB obviously yeah the co-star of the football team um and so this idea that oh Travis is gonna retire to because of the I think the only reason people think Travis might retire is because he’s so famous now and
Has so many other opportun unities because of the Taylor Swift relationship I think Taylor loves it and so I don’t think he’s retiring I just don’t I mean he has said he’s not retiring after the game he said to Mahomes I could do this another 11 years that obviously isn’t
True but he’s too good still right I wasn’t saying because of just Fame got too rich I was just saying like how much longer can he do it just like physically yeah I mean that is be fine with them giving him the first couple months of next season off here’s the
Other thing though Deon if they win Sunday they have a chance to be the greatest team ever yeah because no team is ever threee and so that if they win Sunday I wonder there no way right yeah and but I also wonder if that makes Chris Jones more likely to come back if
They can work something out where it’s like guys true we can you know what I mean the like Chris right now is not a lock Hall of Famer he’s not uh I don’t even think right now he is a likely Hall of Famer because he doesn’t have the
Individual accolades yet he only has a couple all Pros you know it’s a tough position the yeah he only has two All Pro well he only has two First Team all Pros he does have three second Team all Pros so maybe he is a Hall of Famer I’m not sure but
If he is the star of a defense that three repeats changes a lot of things so we’ll see um yeah but go ahead I’m sorry to say um no so I’ll just go to the next question yeah oh yeah sorry Brandon Thompson says if Andy Reid did retire
Who would be your ideal head coach that you want to have coaching uh Patrick Ms so if I would be absolutely fine with this setup bill bellich you can come be the head coach of the Chiefs you can maybe pass Brady in Super Bowls you can get schula’s record
However you need to bring in to run the offense Eric benemy and benemy can be the potential coach in Waiting you have to keep Steve spagnolo running the defense and Brett beach has to keep running the team you are the head coach and head coach alone if that couldn’t happen then I would
Hire bnm I well I would talk to Mike Vel but I would hire BN and I would say you have a relationship with everyone Patrick’s gonna help spags is going to run the defense and we’ll let you do it all right next um Andrew Simpson says hey Nick
Hypothetical I would love to hear you talk about fields to Miami for first and Tua to Vikings uh give McDaniels a higher ceiling quarterback and gets the Vikings and out for cousins who says no all right well listen my nobody’s trading a first rounder for Fields you
Might be able to get a good two I don’t think you’re going to get a first uh I also think Miami is gonna run it back with Tua just not give him a contract I think that the their situation is that we thought this year was going to be the
Year twoa you know proved whether or not he was worth the contract I think they’re just going to let him play out his fifth year option and see I don’t think also there’s a great market for him in the trademark and if you’re Minnesota you kind of already had the
Good but not great limited quarterback and I think they’re going to bring back Kirk I think the only hope for Kirk being somewhere else was if the ners fell totally flat in the playoffs and Shanahan who’s always wanted Kirk when and got him but that’s not what happened here all right
Next this name can confused me it originally thought it was Marcus Valdez scandling but Marcus Valdez asks does does Josh Allen deserve more credit for his game versus Kansas City considering Lamar’s performance being far worse well here’s what I here’s what I will say I do think Lamar’s performance
Against Kansas City put Josh back in the pole position to be considered the second best quarterback in football I think that the the fact that Tua did nothing against this Chief’s defense Baltimore did nothing against this Chief’s defense and Josh had a decent game with obviously some mistakes
But a decent game I didn’t get put him back in the pole position at least until we see burrow back healthy all right I got to go Gotta Go do TV dman keep healing up great job today great job by the Blue Duck folks sorry for producer
Matt and the commanders but maybe Dan Quinn will be great this time he did get to a Super Bowl as a head coach don’t forget that with Atlanta they did of course obviously blow it I will talk to you guys on first things first today at 3:00 don’t forget keep sending those

Yeah, in your pretend scenario you're right, but in actual reality very different… Those losses to Brady have to matter just like Chamberlains to Russel… And I for one agree with one thing you say, I feel like the entire televised media on both networks just role with your takes on things….
Review: I agree with you Nick about MaHomes and the Chiefs, but you need to finally admit that Jordan is the
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Man, Purdy must have killed, slept with and dumped, or fired someone in Nick's immediate family…
Maybe all of the previous?
Brett Veach seems like he should be in the top 4…
5 stars
Watching this from a UC Santa cruz dorm, love the hoodie. Been watching your stuff almost daily for the past few years and im a huge chiefs fan.
Everyone should be rooting for Purdy, best story in nfl since Warmer
KC Tyler swift is very sleazy and cheap way to go to the Super Bowls like last year another cheap way with referees forcing the outcome of the game and the eaglets threw the game on purpose in the Super Bowl, using Tayler swift popularity to promote the game globally and domestically where her concerts are attended by more than 100,000 fans like her in Ohio state stadium or Brazil and Argentina soccer stadiums sold out full capacity
Nick is still waiting to be proved right about Purdy. It's gonna be a LOOOONG wait, buddy.
With Vegas cooperation on gambling with keeping the chiefs underdog on purpose to make the maximum money from gambling taking advantage of Tayler swift popularity where her half time Super Bowl concert is the most watched
Anyone in education, especially upper level education, will tell you this generation does not respond to Belichick type tactics & motivation. It is why Andy’s “let your personality shine” is a major coaching adjustment he has made. He lets his young players & Kelce have fun.
Subscribed! Great show always.
Ok me tell you my perspective on who is the GOAT. It's got nothing to be the goat if Brady beat Mahomes in a superbowl. By that logic Eli Manning should be the greatest QB, since he beat Tom twice and retired before Tom. It is the stupidest reason to call someone GOAT. Tom beat Mahomes once and retired, Eli beat Tom twice and retired, hance Eli is the GOAT. 😂 how stupid is that logic
Loooove Nick Wright almost as much as I love my Chiefs!
#NEVERADOUBT. WHY? PATRICK…ANDY…SPAGS…TRAVIS…RASHEE…POP…CHRIS…GEORGE…LEO…MVS…YES,MVS…HARRISON…TOMMY…LEJARIUS SNEED…TRENT…LEJARIUS AGAIN…TRENT AGAIN…CREED…JAWAN…SMITH…MECOLE…CEH…and the loyalty from the Kinggdom. Finally…Miss Norma and Lamar in heaven.
Just subbed and liked the vid ,, thanks for the content and keep it up !
I think Mahomes would beat Brady in a boxing match. Does this sound stupid? Because it is. QB don't beat each other, they beat defenses. The commentary would be more nuanced if we could talk about the kinds of defenses each QB has beaten and so on.
How is Vegas that dumb with the point spread. Maybe they are trying to motivate the Chiefs. Have the defending champs ever been the underdog the following season (when back in the Super Bowl)?
Your the best in the biz
Demonza is doing an awesome job giving a little pushback.
The fact is Mahomes lost to Brady and has to 1 up him with rings
Best show on YouTube or television
Purdy was great this season. Cam Newton was great another season and couldn’t even play for the 49ers this season.
Bro, just stop! Brady has every single qb record of note. Not feats, RECORDS! These "what ifs" are childish.
My buddies and I got an old podcast we don't upload to anymore, but I'll share the page and hope a few of the couple hundred people give the show a listen! Mahomes has won me good money these past 3 weeks so it's the least I can try to do 😅
Notice how Nick never talks about what happens if Mahomes loses…. the narrative changes dramatically.
Cool
One great podcast, every time from Nick !
Public Defender: small note on Dwight getting a tribute video in Atlanta…he’s also from Atlanta lmao. Might’ve been a factor.
I was born in central Kansas in 1963. And a big fan since Lenny and Hank took us all the way. The last time I bet on the Chiefs was in the AFC Joe Montana game against Houston Oilers game. I am betting on the Chiefs in the Super bowl this year. Salina, Kansas, kevin
Love the podcast! Nick, cannot wait to hear you Mondays and throughout the week
Never a doubt Go Chiefs ‼️
Great show
Nick, Lebron has said in the past that he wants to play with Luca. I think that would put the Mavs in the Western Conference finals
W podcast
Love your work Nick!
I think Chiefs should be favored,but man Thuney and Omenihu are not small subtractions
A home Super Bowl with the most egregious officiating I have ever seen in a league known for bad officiating; and Mahome's O-line was in shambles; and Mahomes still outplayed Brady given the circumstances. Oh, and, as of yet, there have been no cheating scandals associated with Mahome's resume.
Thanks to ur Dallas speed boat Theo I lost loot 😅
Goodluck to the chiefs
You’re a dog!!!
