Nick Wright
Welcome in Watch Right with Nick Wright. Episode 388 as we get to week 10. I can't believe it. Week 10 in the NF as we react to the trade deadline and a little bit of NBA as well as the Lakers kept us up quite late last night and Luca reminded everyone more on this in just a second that Wimby might be coming but he's not quite there yet. And we will. In fact, you know what? We will. Before we get to trade deadline we're going to do a little bit on the Lakers and the spurs. But this episode of the show is brought to you by Boost Mobile and we'll get right to it. Demons. A straight to voicemail Brought to you by Boost mobile Zion out seven to 10 days with a hamstring injury at this point let's just do send in the Zion for Jaw trade. Jaws lost his joy. The Grizzlies are a mess. The Pelicans are a mess like they they were 12 in a draft. Just see if that fixes anything for either one of these guys. I have two. Which of my fake jaw trades do you like more? My three team maligned Southeastern point guard trade of Jaw to Charlotte, Lamelo to Atlanta trade of Memphis or JA for Zion straight up. Which one do you like more?
- [04:00]
Damonte
The first one, I think. I think the Pelicans probably want Zion more than they want Jaw. Zion seems to be turning a corner. He's just got a hamstring thing going on right now.
- [04:09]
Nick Wright
Oh yeah, he's turning the corner. Except for the fact that he is now hurt again. I mean and the Pelican drafted Derek Queen, who's a little redundant with Zion. I don't know those seems both teams are a mess if we're being totally honest. And this is if I didn't say this. Straight to voicemail. Brought to you by Boost Mobile Thursday Night Football Raiders at Broncos and then the Lakers get a great win last night against the Spurs. So let's just talk about that for a second. Luca's been absolutely historically great in the games he's played. Only Wilt has ever scored more points through the opening five games of a season and he did it twice than Lucas even. 200 through the first five games this year. And the listen, the spurs have been excellent and I understand the spurs are dealing with injuries of their own, but it is hard not to look at the lakers with no LeBron with Austin having missed time. And obviously Luke has missed some time as well, sitting at 7 and 2 alone in second place in the Eastern Conference only behind The Thunder and obviously, I shouldn't say obviously and shockingly the Chicago Bulls for overall record in the NBA. But it's, it's very hard to look at Luca doing what he's doing and the lakers sitting at 7 and 2 and then not also look at the Mavericks doing what they're doing, sitting in dead last in the Western Conference at 2 and 6 and not revisit what is will go down in history as one of the most inexplicable, indefensible, unforced errors a franchise has ever made. And I know there was a very brief moment when people were like, well, now that they've gotten Cooper Flag, maybe it all works out. Demon Day I'm here to tell you, if Nico Harrison today called up Rob Pelinka and said we will trade you Anthony Davis and Cooper flag for Luka Doncic, they would say no. That is. And the how good is Luca really? Conversation that was briefly had last year was categorically insane. From start to finish and up to this moment of the season, he's been either the best or the second best player in the sport. Giannis is playing at a just incomprehensible level and Luca has missed time. But Luca giving you a nice tidy 4011 and 9 on 50% shooting despite shooting 30% from 3 has just been it not shocking because you know how good he is, but remarkable. And it's why, you know, I a lot of people, this isn't me picking on Bill, but Bill, probably the most noteworthy of the folks that coming into the year, we're just totally, unabashedly, unequivocally writing the Lakers off as having any chance, any chance to be a real contender. And the reason that struck me as a little myopic was man, if you have all of NBA history tells us if you have a clear cut top three guy, unless the team is just in total shambles around him, you're at least contender adjacent. And Luka has been a clear cut top three guy obviously. Again Giannis has been great. Shea has been unbelievable. And the Thunder losing last night, shocking, because it's shocking that they lose. That team is going to win 70 games if they want to. But the Lakers surviving this stretch of no LeBron Luca in and out of the lineup, beating the spurs who have been red hot. Reeves has been out and now say.
- [09:11]
Damonte
It again, even Reeves has been out like all their main guys.
- [09:14]
Nick Wright
Yeah, I mean Re and Reeves obviously playing great. And now if you're the Lakers, I don't know when LeBron's coming back. But over the next two weeks you have Atlanta, Charlotte, OKC, brutal New Orleans, Milwaukee. That's a road trip. And then Utah. Utah. So you've got seven games over the next two and a half weeks, all of them on the road except for one game against Utah before you start a homestand, which is maybe where they would hope LeBron could come back. And the expectation should be to go 5 and 2 in that seven game stretch at the very least 4 and 3 and be 11 and 5, 12 and 4 through the first month and a half of the season. Through. Well, really the first month of the season, which would be phenomenal. And so Luke is just playing out of his mind. Just absolutely out of his mind. And Austin, when Luca wasn't there, was playing out of his mind. And you thought I was going to skip it. Demons a credit words do.
- [10:47]
Damonte
You'Re Some minutes last night.
- [10:49]
Nick Wright
No, no, no, I'm not talking, Bronnie. I'm talking. I'm. I'm talking. I don't know if it's fair to call him your guy, but a guy.
- [10:56]
Damonte
Deandre Ayton.
- [10:58]
Nick Wright
Yeah.
- [11:00]
Damonte
Yeah, he showed up last night. He's, he's been good.
- [11:03]
Nick Wright
Yeah, he was really rough very early on, but 22 and 10 last night when they were super short handed. 29 and 10 against the Blazers. The. No, he's been, he's, he's played well for him and so fair is fair. Credit to Palinka, a lot of credit to JJ Redick who has this team ready to play every night and Jake Laravia has done well. They're legit. They're legit. 7 and 2 beating the spurs without Austin Reeves and obviously no LeBron. And they did try to blow it at the end, but whatever.
- [11:51]
Damonte
Like you hear yourself either though, did you?
- [11:55]
Nick Wright
No, not at all. No, I, I didn't, I didn't write them off because of the respect for Luca and because I felt like when LeBron comes back, they'll still be one of the only teams in the league with two top 10 guys because that's what we'll see what LeBron is this year. But last year he was a clear top eight guy. But no, I didn't think they'd be able to handle LeBron missing the first 10 games. Plus Austin being out of the lineup some. Luca being out of the lineup some. And I mean they've been, they've been excellent. So credit to the Lakers. All right, let's get to the trade deadline.
- [12:39]
Damonte
Super, big, super busy trade deadline yesterday and a lot of it formulated around the jets getting rid of players because they can't do anything. Trading over to Dallas and Indianapolis. Which team would you like to start with first in the whole?
- [12:52]
Nick Wright
I want to start with the Cowboys.
- [12:53]
Damonte
Okay. So yeah, after.
- [12:57]
Nick Wright
Go ahead.
- [12:58]
Damonte
After trading for Logan Wilson, Dallas followed it up by trading a Hall first and a second, I believe for Quinn Williams.
- [13:03]
Nick Wright
Yep.
- [13:04]
Damonte
Jerry Jones is talking about how he wants to win now because of his age. Doesn't kind of seem like their season is already over.
- [13:11]
Nick Wright
Well, their season's definitely already over and I explained this in short form on tv. But I am going to lay it out further here. They barely, barely got more for Micah Parsons than they traded away for Quinn and Williams. So let's do the actual accounting of what the Cowboys got for Micah Parsons. Okay. They got the next two Packer first round picks, which we obviously don't know what picks those will be. But this year the packers right now have the 24th pick of the draft. It would, you know, it could go up if they go on a real playoff run. It could go down if they get bounced in round one, but that's what they have. And then next year's packers first round.
- [14:18]
Damonte
Pick.
- [14:20]
Nick Wright
And they got Kenny Clark, more on him in a moment. For Quinn and Williams, they traded away their own second round pick which right now would be the 46th pick of the draft. So again in the Micah trade and Quinn and trade, they received what would be the 24th pick and sent out what would be the 46th pick. So a 22 pick jump, we'll see how those move. But that's a good framework. And then they will be sending out whatever is the better pick between their own first after next season and the packers first after next season. So there is no chance whatsoever, none, that for the 2027 first rounder that they receive a better pick from the packers than they give to the jets because whatever the better pick is, they give to the Jets. And then you add to it that because you have traded for Quinn and Williams and signed Oshia De Gazua to an extension, you almost assuredly are this offseason cutting Kenny cl. The best case scenario for the Cowboys.
- [16:04]
Damonte
Is.
- [16:07]
Nick Wright
The difference in draft compensation they gave up for Quinn and Williams compared to what they received for Micah Parsons is the equivalent of about a third round pick. And the worst case scenario is they actually ended up giving up more for Quinn and Williams than they received for Micah Parsons. And you might say, how could that be? Well, here's how it could be. The Cowboys end up drafting 10th in this year's draft. So that'd be second round pick 42. The packers make it forget even win the super bowl, make it to the conference championship game. They give up. So they give to Dallas first round pick 29 so that's a 13 pick Delta next year the packers make it back to the conference championship game, they give Dallas the 29th pick again and next year Dak Prescott gets hurt. The Cowboys have a year from hell and they end up getting or hell they just have the same year they had this year where Dak doesn't get hurt and they but they have a bad year. They have the 10th pick of that draft and they give that pick to the Jets. It is absolutely on the board that what they receive from Green Bay are two picks in the late 20s and what they give to the jets is a pick in the low 40s and a pick in the teens which is when you are sending out a more valuable younger player. Just totally unacceptable. I understand Quinn and is cheaper than Micah but that is not enough to offset the difference in value of the players impact on the field. And so this Cowboys move, even if Quinn and Williams is really good and I think he is is as baffling of an NFL trade as you'll see for years. And it totally goes against Damanze Jerry's whole take which was trading Micah defense.
- [18:58]
Damonte
Better or stop the run.
- [19:00]
Nick Wright
Well no, no, the stop the run part of it it does work in because cornelli was better at that than Micah. But he kept saying we'll be able to get three or four players. You got two extra picks for Micah, you gave two extra picks up for Quinn. And again that the Cowboys agreeing to send the better of the two picks they have in the 2027 draft is unfathomable because here's the other piece of it. Let's say Jordan Love a year from now gets hurt and the packers fall off a cliff in a very difficult NFC north and the packers have the sixth pick of the draft two years from now. You don't get that now that goes to the Jets.
- [19:58]
Damonte
So it's right in line with everything else that's been going on with the Cowboys and Jerry. It makes sense. It doesn't make sense but it makes sense for Jerry to be doing it.
- [20:07]
Nick Wright
Yes, it's just awful business. Now the Colts piece of it is more understandable but somehow even riskier. So go ahead. Every now and then I rinse it out and I need Tommy rinse tonight and I needed more. My kid was so bad and the Smell never leaves. I don't know what to do. I'm always in the dark.

Veteran Speaker 1
The one extremely fluid and common factor and emotion when it comes to war and battle is fear for both sides.
- [24:07]
Veteran Speaker 2
Do you remember the fear of combat?
- [24:10]
Veteran Speaker 1
100% yeah.
- [24:12]
Veteran Speaker 2
This veterans Day, the Good Stuff podcast honors those who've served and the stories that remind us what strength really looks like.
- [24:19]
Veteran Speaker 1
Had over 50 operations and had 23 blood transfusions.
- [24:23]
Veteran Speaker 3
It is extremely difficult to navigate the VA system. I think what frustrates us the most is is thinking about our veterans From World War II era, from Vietnam era that don't have an advocate on the phone every day, all day calling for them. These are things that need to be talked about. These are things that need to be discussed.
- [24:40]
Veteran Speaker 2
We're talking about resilience, purpose and finding hope through community and connection.
- [24:44]
Veteran Speaker 3
There are blessings in there as well that will happen in the most unexpected places.
- [24:49]
Veteran Speaker 1
You have to find the humor in it or I think it'll literally kill you.

Damonte
The Colts are seeming to go all in on Daniel Jones. They traded two first rounders to get Sauce Gardner. Do you think that this is a little bit too early for them?
- [25:12]
Nick Wright
I I respect the guts and unlike the Dallas move, you at least see the logic of it. The logic of it is we have our quarterback, we like our team, we are trying to win right now. Let's add a blue chip player which Sauce has been at the first two years of his career. He has not been the last year and a half, but you know, he's young and he's on a cost control deal. You believe, they obviously believe you can get back to it. So that's the logic of is the exact same logic that led to the Dolphins trading for Tyreek. That led to the packers trading for Micah. We, we love our team, think adding one more piece can put us over the top. So I understand it. I think it's one of the riskiest moves I have seen a team make in 10 years. So here are the circumstances over the last decade. Demons a that teams have traded away multiple first round picks for a player not during the draft but for an established player. The Chicago Bears traded two first round picks for Khalil Mack. They did that one year after spending the second pick of the draft on Mitch Trubisky. They were wrong. But they thought we've got our quarterback. Let's go add to the defense. The Rams traded two first round picks away for Jalen Ramsey. They did that months removed from going to the super bowl with golf. They said we've got our quarterback. Let's add to the defense again. They ended up souring on that quarterback. But they believed they had the quarterback. The Jets. I'm sorry. The Seahawks traded away two first round picks for Jamal Adams in 2020. They believed Russell's, you know, going to be our quarterback long term. Let's go add another piece again. That trade was a catastrophe. But they, they had real reason to believe their quarterback was in place. Obviously. The packers traded away two first rounders for Micah and I might be leaving one out for the Colts to be doing this. Not only when it's just been a half season of good Daniel Jones, but and this part's important to Monze. They don't even have Daniel Jones locked up on a contract. Is stunning. I mean the Bears go ahead.
- [28:24]
Damonte
I mean Daniel like Daniel could leave or something or leave them high and dry or no.
- [28:30]
Nick Wright
But they are now over a barrel.
- [28:33]
Damonte
On oh it's yeah. A hundred percent because when it comes time cap space is already too high. That's fair.
- [28:39]
Nick Wright
Well and it's, it's the, it's. How are you going to replace me? You don't have a first round pick this year or next year.
- [28:47]
Damonte
Yeah.
- [28:47]
Nick Wright
And the franchise Tag number is $46 million.
- [28:53]
Damonte
Daniel Jones type strikes me as a team friendly type of guy.
- [28:58]
Nick Wright
I buddy, he already got 4 years 160 from the Giants when they were in this situation. I don't know like the he. The Colts have put themselves in a position now where Daniel is going to get. I'll call My shout on it right now. Four years, $180 million, $45 million a year. And the other piece of it that is wildly risky if you're the Colts.
- [29:34]
Damonte
Is.
- [29:37]
Nick Wright
They even if you believe Daniel Jones is just good. Bad circumstances, bad luck, bad coaching with the Giants. Dating back to his last year of college, there has been one season he was fully healthy. So you are putting all in college. He broke his collarbone in the pros. He's torn his acl, had a neck injury, an ankle, had a hamstring. You are putting all your eggs in this basket in a way that is stunning to me. Stunning. They have painted themselves in a corner where. Yep. We saw eight good games from Daniel Jones. I know they've played nine, but the last one was awful. Eight good games from Daniel Jones. And now we are going to remove any ability we have to pivot at that position. And it's gutsy. It is it. It's a real go all in move. I just wonder how it's going to feel if this season ends with them hosting a wild card playoff game against the Patriots and getting beat and they're one and done and it's like, okay, this is just our team now. I wouldn't have done it. I also think it is fair to ask, is that too much to pay for anything? Oh, yeah, yeah. For any. For any corner.
- [31:38]
Damonte
Is a lot.
- [31:40]
Nick Wright
And so like would it shock anyone? Here's the question. I would have. Because when the packers traded for Micah it was. It would have shocked people if the packers this year ended up with the ninth pick of the draft. Right. Like that would have been stunning.
- [32:01]
Damonte
Right.
- [32:02]
Nick Wright
Would it shock. Would it be shocking if next year at this moment the culture three and six, would that shock people? Wouldn't shock me. And so I. It is their past defense was bad. Luanna Rumo now has a great the probably the best corner he's ever had since he's been a coordinator. It's a hell of a move, but it would have been too rich for my blood. That's the thing. The Cowboys and the Colts making moves that I think would have been insane for the Chiefs or the Bills to make is something else. All right, let's get to the other side of these.
- [32:56]
Damonte
The jets, they now have five first round picks over the next two years. So surely they can't mess this up. Right. They. They're probably going to get on the track.
- [33:06]
Nick Wright
Well, I mean this is the exact situation they found themselves in which got them Quinn in and Sauce and Garrett Wilson and then they, you know, they're now full blown blowing it up.
- [33:18]
Damonte
Just got to get the quarterback right.
- [33:21]
Nick Wright
Yeah. So I respect the jets recognizing we are nowhere close and by the time we get close, Quinn and is probably out of his prime.
- [33:39]
Damonte
Right.
- [33:40]
Nick Wright
He turns 28 here in a couple weeks. And Sauce I'm sure they wanted to keep but two first is just too rich of a price. Particularly when it's two first from again from a team that's not like an established every year good team. And so now, yeah, you've got to draft smart. And if I'm the Jets, I am potentially in this year's draft. I'm open for business as well. I might move down if there's not a quarterback I love. I might be willing to trade my own pick which could be, you know, the first, second, third, fourth pick of the draft for even more draft capital and try to full on fully rebuild the team. It is good process. They just have to hit on these players. And I understand people can say the drafts a crapshoot. Here's the thing, it yes, the draft is a crapshoot. But the fact of the matter is this. If you have a no doubt franchise quarterback on your team, unless your team, unless your quarterback's name is Dak Prescott or Jalen Hurts, that quarterback was taken in round one. Every people can talk all this stuff about oh well, you can find quarterbacks anywhere. No, every single team that has the no doubt franchise quarterback, that quarterback was a first round pick. Except for Dak and Jalen. That's it. Like who are the no doubt franchise quarterbacks? They were first round picks. So the jets acquiring a bunch of first round picks for a team that hasn't been able to get quarterback. Right. Is obviously something they need to do. And so I don't begrudge it, begrudge them that. I do feel badly for their fans because it's just perpetual rebuilds too man.
- [36:07]
Damonte
Just like we just gave away everybody because you're trash.
- [36:10]
Nick Wright
Well, yeah, I mean. Well, I mean Fields isn't the guy. I mean he just, he isn't the guy. What's the point?
- [36:16]
Damonte
I like Justin Fields. I felt bad for that. I like Justin Fields. But Kansas City, they were trying to trade a fourth for Breeze Hall. The jets wanted a third. Are you surprised that they couldn't get anything done there?
- [36:28]
Nick Wright
No, listen, I. Trading a third round pick for eight games of Breeze hall and then he walks in free agency would have been bad process. I and I think the Che the Chiefs offense is going to be fine. The offensive lineman back in the offense is going to be great. I'm not worried about the offense. I would have liked them to try to trade for a pass rusher. I thought what Philly did in adding Jalen Phillips was good, but you know, that is I am I. And I also, if I were Veech, I probably would have also held my ground. Because it's like, really, jets, you're going to after trading away Sauce and Quinn, and you're going to hold on to a running back who you're just going to let walk in free agency? And the jets were like, yeah, we are. But I would have also, I would have played that game of chicken. I'm surprised the jets didn't agree to it.

The one extremely fluid and common factor in emotion when it comes to war and battle is fear for both sides.

- [43:47]
Veteran Speaker 3
It is extremely difficult to navigate the VA system. I think what frustrates us the most is thinking about our veterans From World War II era, from Vietnam era, that don't have an advocate on the phone every day, all day calling for them. These are things that need to be talked about. These are things that need to be discussed.
- [44:04]
Veteran Speaker 2
We're talking about resilience, purpose, and finding hope through community and connection.
- [44:09]
Veteran Speaker 3
There are blessings in there as well, that we will happen in the most unexpected places.

Veteran Speaker 2
Listen to the Good Stuff podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
- [44:24]
Nick Wright
All right, Damonte, let's keep going.
- [44:26]
Damonte
All right. Creams of the crop in the NFC are going head to head in Philly and Green Bay. The packers are coming off a weird loss to the Panthers and Phillies coming off a buy. What are you expecting in this game?
- [44:37]
Nick Wright
So here, listen, I am. I give Philly credit for being, you know, aggressive around the edges in free agents. I'm sorry, at the trade deadline and not making a drastic move of trading AJ Brown, I didn't think that was zero percent. I thought there was a chance. And the fact of the matter is they would have been a worse team without AJ Brown and they're trying to defend their Super Bowl. Now, do I think they could revisit that trade this offseason depending on how the rest of the year goes? Sure. But I think it was good for them to stand pat. This is a huge spot for Green Bay and oddly, not that big of a spot for Philly. And here's what I mean. Because of Jaden's injury and the Commanders just being bad and The Cowboys being 3, 5 and 1, Philly is more than more than the Colts, even just a lock to win that division. There is no team right now in the entire NFL that is more guaranteed to win their division than Philadelphia. So now they of course would love the one seed and the nfc, they have a real shot at the one seed because you've got to think Damanze. The NFC west teams are going to beat each other up a bit in divisional games with Seattle, the Rams and the Niners all having six wins. And the NFC north teams are going to beat each other up a bit in the division with Green Bay, Detroit and Chicago all having five wins and Minnesota sitting there with four. So you'd have to anticipate that the one seed at this point is either going to be Philly or Tampa. And Philly obviously beat Tampa, so they have the head to head tiebreakers. So Philly is really well positioned, which is why this game is not critical for them. But they are coming off a buy and I'm sure they want to see. Are they, you know, is Saquon going to. Was week eight for Saquon a return to form or was it a bit of a, you know, was it a blip in what's going to be a tough year. Green Bay on the other hand, their margin for error is evaporating. They are currently leading the the NFC north but barely. And there is absolutely a world that exists where if Green Bay loses this game, they wake up what is this Monday night Tuesday more I think it's the Monday night game, am I right? You guys tell me. I don't even remember whatever. They wake up next week Tuesday morning and they are on the outside looking in of the playoff picture. They could be the eight seed come Tuesday if they lose this game. And if you look at their schedule, pal, they only have one soft spot left at the Giants. But they play Philly, then they're at the Giants. They have five divisional games left. Both games against Minnesota, both games against Chicago at Detroit and then the non divisional games are at Denver and home for Baltimore. So I still think Green Bay has super high upside. But you lose this game, you know there's going to be potentially a really good NFC team left without a chair. And I don't think that's going to be Green Bay. And Green Bay again like that win against Detroit to start the year looms really large in how we view them. Them dominating the commanders that next Thursday when they did have Jaden is significant and they, you know that was a really good win they had over the Steelers. But losing to the Browns, blowing that game against Carolina and tying the Cowboys right now puts them in a precarious spot. So this is a big game for Green Bay. Big enough game that I, I thought long and hard about it for our pick show which people hear hear tomorrow. We'll get to that later. But this is a big spot for Green Bay and I wouldn't want to be facing Philly off a buy. A healthy Eagles team off a buy.
- [50:09]
Damonte
Makes me a little Last time Jordan Love seen the Eagles wasn't so good either. But I had his most mistakes in recent memory.
- [50:15]
Nick Wright
Oh absolutely. And, and so yeah, it's a huge spot. All right, let's get to Rams, Niners.
- [50:21]
Damonte
Rams and Niners are facing off this weekend and this could have huge implications on the playoff bracket. We still don't know who the quarterback is for San Francisco long term, but Shanahan says that as long as Purdy's good, it's going to be him who has more to lose or more to prove in this game between the Rams and Niners.
- [50:39]
Nick Wright
Well, listen the so Shanahan's been very adamant. Purdy's their guy and that's fine. I don't Listen, I don't think Mac Jones is better than Purdy. I just don't think Purdy's $54 million a year better than Mac Jones. And so. And I think Mac is kind of proving that week in, week out. And I think Shanahan has done a brilliant job this season. Here's what I'll say about the Niners. If they win this game, they are going to make the playoffs. You win this game, you get to seven and three and they still have games left against the Cardinals, the Browns and the Titans. They're, you know, that's obviously not all their games. They have the Panthers, which is not an easy spot. Bears, Seahawks is also on their schedule, but if they can get to 7 and 3 by beating the Rams, you just beat the bad teams on your schedule. You get to 10, get one more win against the. The. They have Panthers, Colts, Bears, Seahawks are the winning record teams on their schedule. You're going to be 11 wins. So this is for the Niners. It would be pretty remarkable given their injuries. Start seven and three. My concern for the Niners is they are. They just keep pressing the Christian McCaffrey button again and again and again, and I worry about his ability to hold up over the course of the entire season. The Rams, on the other hand, listen, right now, this moment, Matt Stafford's probably the NFL MVP and they've just been awesome. They absolutely can win the Super Bowl. With that said there, that is, you lose this game, you're probably heading to week 11 in third place in your own division because Seattle's legit. Seattle is legit. And so. And the Niners will have just beaten you. So I do like the Rams in this spot, and I think the Rams are a legit contender no matter what happens here. To me, this game is more about if the Niners can steal it at home. And we know there's the whole Shanahan McVeigh, you know, kind of coaching rivalry. Then it almost it all but stamps the Niners playoff ticket. Hey, guys, it is the NBA season and I haven't gone yet, but I am very excited to go see the Knicks at MSG one of these nights coming up. Which is why I want to give a shout out to the sponsor of today's video, SeatGeek. SeatGeek just helped our guy. Was it Victor said he bought some tickets to go go see the Clippers at the Intuit Dome. He used code right. Ten more on that in a second.

And with the NFL and NBA seasons here, now is the perfect time to get to a game again. You guys have heard me talk about using SeatGeek all the time. And let me just look right now. What is the first Knicks game that I would like to go to? Oh, a week from Friday. Little Friday night basketball at msg. Heat it. Knicks looking at it right there. Couple tickets? No, I'd have to do three tickets because Deanna would want to go buying. Buying a ticket for your little sister to Monte. It's always a little annoying, but SeatGeek helps me out. So there it is right there. You can just scroll through it. Big, big green dots means it's a great deal. Little red dots means stay away from them. Scores at 1 to 10.

We break down every matchup, give you our analysis and advice so you know who to start, sit, drop and trade to bring that championship trophy home. I just want to remind everyone how good Rasheed Rice was last season. In these three healthy games. He was the wide receiver Receiver two In fantasy I think Rashid Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice near side Touchdown. Ramandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off for Madre, running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown. It's never too late to turn your fantasy season around.

Nick Wright
All right, Damonte, let's get to the Seahawks. All right.
- [60:35]
Damonte
The six and two Seahawks that lead their division made a move in the trade deadline, trading for Rasheed wide receiver Rashid Shahid. JSN leads the NFL in reception yards, but outside him, nobody On Seattle has 300 plus yards. You said Seattle could be the 1 seed and they were also near the top of tiers. What does this do for them where they are now?
- [60:56]
Nick Wright
Listen, I I think Seattle's legit. Yeah I Darnold is now on like 25 games of just being a high level quarterback. I understand the playoff game was brutal for him. Mike McDonald's been awesome, the defense has been awesome. JSN is right now the first team all pro wide receiver. Right. I think Rashid Shahid is really good. And so Seattle, I am, you know, more than penciling Seattle in for the playoffs, but I'm really. They have four awesome games remaining. Both games against the Rams, both a home game against the Colts and Week 18 at the Niners, which Seattle could be playing for the division or as I said, playing for the one seed. The Niners could be playing to make the playoffs. I mean Seattle has been just flatly an outstanding team this year and they have two losses. One, they led the Niners late. Purdy has a touchdown drive in the waning moments to give the Niners a four point lead in week one. Darnold answers right back, gets the Seahawks in the red zone and then fumbles. That's one of their losses. And their other loss was a three point loss to Tampa. When. How did. Trying to remember the beats of that game. I don't hold on. How did they lose to Tampa? I think it wasn't a Baker drive, a last second. It was a last second field goal but it was. Oh, that's what it was. So this was. It was a Baker drive, but it was a crazy circumstance. It wasn't really a Baker drive. Baker had a drive. This is how that game went. That game was crazy. In the fourth quarter it's 28, 28. Darnold leaves, leads a 99 yard touchdown drive to go up 35, 28. Baker answers back with a five place 70 yard drive to tie the game with a minute eight left. 35, 35. They then picked Darnold off and then got a field goal at the gun. So the one of the Seahawks losses was week one by four points. The other one they're up seven with 90 seconds left and lost in regulation. So I mean they've been just a legit excellent team all year. They haven't had the toughest of competition up to this point. Beat the Steelers in week two and then Saints, Cards, Jags, Texans, commanders. But I believe it. I believe in the Seahawks. And you know one of my picks this past week was Seattle -3 on Sunday Night Football. They were up 28. Nothing in that game.
- [64:36]
Damonte
You're sticking with them in the playoffs. Even with Darnold. That doesn't make you think any type of way or take back.
- [64:42]
Nick Wright
I mean I'll be a little anxious. Until you see a guy play well in the playoffs, you're going to be a little anxious. But he was so good last year and his aunt followed it up this year by being so good without Kevin oconnell. Like at some point I just Got to give the guy credit. Hey, guys.

- [65:42]
Damonte
Since we talked about him on Tuesday, he's been benched. Arizona name Brissette as their guy. You said Kyler would never play for Arizona again. And with that said, is. Is this a Kyler problem or is this a Cardinal problem?
- [65:55]
Nick Wright
I mean, probably a little bit of both. Okay, but Kyler's not the guy. Kyler's net. You can't be. I mean, just think about it, guys. We have heard plenty of stories about his lack of leadership at that position. The team put in a work ethic clause in his own contract, and he's undersized and gets beat up. Like, I. That's not a recipe. And so the only way to monze he plays for the Cardinals again is if at the end of the year, they fire Gannon. And the new head coach, you know, was like, oh, I can fix him, but Jonathan Gannon can never go back to Kyler. Murray, that's done. And I would be looking at if. If Rogers retires, The Steelers are a real candidate. The Browns are always a candidate. The jets are a candidate. The Raiders, if they go full rebuild and want Kyler as a bridge, they're a candidate. But he's not going to be on the Royals. Oh, he goes to baseball.
- [67:08]
Damonte
Yeah.
- [67:08]
Nick Wright
No, I. I don't see. I. I think that ship has sailed. He was a great baseball player, but I. I think that ship has sailed. And the Cardinals feel like, you know, that they. The offense runs better with Jacoby, so.
- [67:23]
Damonte
I mean, you. It does.
- [67:25]
Nick Wright
I mean, it just does.
- [67:27]
Damonte
Yeah.
- [67:28]
Nick Wright
And it just. It just is what it is. All right, let's get to listener questions to Maze.
- [67:33]
Damonte
Giannis tweeted. Tweeted this out yesterday.
- [67:37]
Nick Wright
He.
- [67:37]
Damonte
I think he said, as I sit, I'm loading the tweet. Random thoughts as I sit in my living room. Do I have college eligibility. Can I suit up for Marquette tonight? And the question is, how many points do you think that Giannis would drop in a college basketball game?
- [67:54]
Nick Wright
Oh, I mean, I think he'd average, you know, 38 or shorter.
- [67:59]
Damonte
What's going to say, yeah, they are short. I was going to say, like, 38. So probably like, in that 30. I was going to say 40. No, no, 40.
- [68:07]
Nick Wright
GNA. Say 40. I. I mean, he's averaging 34 in the NBA, but the games are a lot like. No, I think he'd average 40, easy. I think he'd average 40.
- [68:16]
Damonte
Drive, triple drive, dribble drive. All right, next, Scott asked for next season, should the jets ride out Justin Fields, contract, draft and start a rookie or trade for Kyler?
- [68:29]
Nick Wright
So I'm trying to see for Justin Fields. What if they cut him? They caught him. It's 22 dead. I mean, they obviously can't just go into week one. Is Justin Fields their week one starter now? Could he be the backup? Could. If they do draft a guy, could they use Justin Fields as a bridge? Maybe, but I think that's probably done. I would again, I wouldn't trade for Kyler if I'm the Jets. The jets have to find their quarterback.
- [69:02]
Damonte
Yeah. All right, next, a different Scott asks if. If it's Casey and Buffalo at the Ralph for the. At the route for the AFC champ.
- [69:13]
Nick Wright
This the stadium in Buffalo.
- [69:15]
Damonte
Oh, okay. At the route for the AFC used.
- [69:17]
Nick Wright
To be called Ralph Wilson Stadium. Now it's called, like, High Mark Field, but. So that's what he's talking Ralph.
- [69:22]
Damonte
Yeah, yeah. So a different scout asks if. If it's Casey and Buffalo at the route for the AFC Championship game, will you go to the game this time?
- [69:30]
Nick Wright
I will not. I have no interest in that. I will absolutely not go to the game. All right. I have a really good feeling about our pick show this week. I liked the games a lot. I liked them a lot. Last week. I said I liked him a lot. Went three and two. So frustrating, though, because I do the picks here pick five games, and then I pick three of the five games from here to do on tv. We went three and two and two of the three games I picked were my two losses. So I went one and two on TV and three and two here, which is frustrating. So pick show coming tomorrow so you don't miss it. Like rate, subscribe, review, but subscribe to the channels on itunes and Spotify and YouTube, all that. Also, we'll be sending out, you know, specialty videos for our biggest listeners on Spotify, so be on the lookout for those. A big thank you, as always to seatgeek, Hard Rock, Bet Boost, thank you to Volume, thank you to Blue Duck, and of course, a huge thank you to our friends at Zen. See you guys tomorrow for our gambling show, what's Right.
