Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right with Nick Wright. The best takes and moments from this week on the show. Enjoy. I want to recap what we've done and then get to DeMazze's picks and my final picks. So we did six official, if you want to hear all 30, two overs and unders. Again, like, rate, subscribe, review. It's on YouTube. It's on iTunes. It's on Spotify. Everywhere you can get your podcast.

And you can hear my picks for all 32 teams. But there are six bets that we are making, okay? We are betting the overs for the following teams with the following juice. Jags over seven and a half minus 125. I think the Jags are going to make the playoffs. I think Trevor is going to have a bounce back year. I also think he knows this is kind of a make or break year for him. He luckily already got paid,

but as far as him being considered like a no doubt franchise quarterback, they've got to be good. I think they will be, and they only have to win eight games. The Bears over eight and a half at plus 115. I like everything about the team. I love the coach, at least this. I love their offensive coordinator, who's also their head. coach i can't yet say if i know ben johnson will be good at the head coaching stuff i know he's good

at the play calling stuff i don't mind the tough love on caleb so they're and over i have kansas city you just bet the chief's over every single year i mean it's since andy's been there prima homes it has failed to hit one time and i they if they only went if they go 12 and five people would consider that a bit of a disappointment and it would hit they're over Tampa over 9.5 is probably my favorite bet of all of these. I think the Bucks have a real shot to be the one seat in the NFC. And I think that they are going to win at least 11 games, maybe 12 or 13. That's minus 120.

The Raiders over 6.5 at minus 145. They're the team everyone thinks is going to be bad that I think is going to be good. And Atlanta, over 7.5 at minus 140. again, they won eight games last year with cousins falling apart. And I think, you know, year two of Rahim Morris with the defense, those are my overs. DeMonse, of those six, what is your favorite and what is your least favorite of my six overs there? Favorite? I got to say, man, I think it's the Jags over seven and a half.

Love it. Least favorite? I don't really, I guess, like, if like, if, I had to choose one, my least favorite would be the Bears, but like, I don't, like, I don't disagree with that. But you don't hate it. Right. Yeah. All right. Now the unders. Six unders as well. Bengals under nine and a half at minus one 15. I just don't see a team with those. I think they have real question marks on the O line and obvious question marks all over the defense. And Zach Taylor's seat is very hot. I don't think they're getting to double-digit wins. The Colts,

under 7.5 at minus 130. This is my favorite of the unders. I think they could end up with the number one pick of the draft. I think that is absolutely on the board. The Broncos under 9 and a half at plus 110. I think the Broncos are going to get out to a decent start. People are going to be crowing. I think the final two months of the season are going to be brutal for them. I also think people have overestimated what they're going to get from Bo Nix this year. And I, they're two major, um,

their two major defensive additions are such injury risks to me that I don't think, I don't know that they're going to get the boost from them, uh, that people expect saltic under nine and a half weeks with better odds. Oh, if they get off to a good start. Yeah, sure. Absolutely, yeah, that's on the board. Cowboys under 8.5, minus 1.45. I did this before the Parsons trade.

I assume, you know, odds have shifted on this, but we've made these bets already. Vikings under 9 and a half minus 125. I just think it's a lot to ask in that division for a de facto rookie quarterback. And I just think the Niners win total's wrong. I think the Niners are looked at, Iners in the Schedule Soft, as like a Tier 2 Super Bowl contender. I don't look at them that way. I think that they are, you know, a 7-8 win team.

So I will take under 10 and a half for the Niners. My favorite there is, as I mentioned, the Colts, DeMonsei, your favorite, your least favorite. Least favorite there is Bengals. Favorite. Yeah, I agree with the Niners. Yeah, the 49ers. It's just a big number, man. They can win the defensive.

division and hit they're under. Like that, it's just a big number. All right, make miss playoffs, do it quickly. Jags plus 180, Chiefs minus 380, Raiders plus 340 for a half unit, giant's five to one for a quarter unit, and the bucks minus 170. Those are make playoffs, miss playoffs, Steelers minus 140, cults minus 260, Broncos plus 1 30, Cowboys minus 210. Again, that one is moved, but I got it in time.

The Vikings plus 100, two units on that one, and the Cardinals minus 140. And then a miss playoffs parlay. I did a few of these last year that screwed me. I'm only doing one. Four teams that I think are likely to finish in dead last in their division. Saints, Jets, Browns, Colts, all to miss the playoffs, minus 135, two units. I am acutely aware de Monzae that the cults have a chance to be the Jags for me this year, or two years ago.

You remember two years ago, I would have had a hugely profitable preseason, you know, gambling shows, but I had the Jags involved in four separate bets. I lost them all because the Jags weren't as good as I thought. If the Colts are really good, I lose this, I lose the miss the playoffs bet, and I lose their under.

Luckily, Daniel Jones is greatly involved, so I'm not worried about that. Yeah, so I'm still getting accustomed to the betting and stuff. Parlaying four things to just get minus 135, is that not? It's terrible odds. No, no, no, it's a terrible value.

Okay. Um, yes, you, you are, you, you are, you are, you are, you are telling me that is a square wager. Okay. I just wanted to make sure. Okay. Putting four things together just for the opportunity to lay minus 135 is terrible process.

Um, but I'm seeing things correctly. I just feel, yeah, no, you're right. Um, I just feel like Saints, Jets, Browns are just D.O.A for the playoffs. And so it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. I have the cults to miss the playoffs at minus 260, and then I have them basically again to miss the playoffs at minus 135. So that's the way I'm doing it. It's not a good process.

You're right. All right. The new picks, before we get to Demonsay's picks, which were wildly profitable last year, we are only doing three division winner bets. And I can't believe the first two of these Demonset are only minus 115. Tell the audience the first one. All right, no surprise here. We got the Chiefs to win the West, the AFC West, sorry, a minus 1-15.

Yeah, they win it every year. Mahomes is 35 and 5 in his career in the division. They win it by an average in Mahomes' career by four games. Last year, the AFC West had three playoff teams. It was such a tough division. They won it by four games. despite throwing week 18. Minus 115, I'll take the chiefs over the field.

The next one, another team, DeMonse, that wins their division every year. Only minus 115. What is it? We've got the bucks to win the NFC South. Minus 1.15. Like, the Saints and Panthers to me are no shot, no shotters. And I just think the bucks are going to be really good. And then the last, so that's, I love, I might like that even more than I like the Chiefs one.

But I, the, just because. How weak the division is. Yeah, exactly right. And then I found, I found a plus money parlay here, DeMonse, only two teams. So we got a division winner. We got Baltimore plus Buffalo at plus 106. I'd say that's another safe one. I mean, that's really to me just.

fading the Bengals. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm not worried about the Steelers. It's just maybe, no, maybe the defense somehow with the new D coordinator is average. The offense is the same and they have an awesome year. But Baltimore and Buffalo are such regular season juggernauts that putting them together at plus 106 to me makes sense. And then our annual tradition, Super Bowl exacta, three years ago, we had Chiefs 9-106.

and the Niners found themselves in the conference championship game. Last two years ago, we had Chiefs Cowboys, and the Cowboys found themselves with 12 wins. Last year, we had Chiefs Bears, and the Bears had a season from hell and missed the playoffs. This year, the Super Bowl exacta at 55 to 1 is, drum roll please, Demonset. We got Kansas City versus Tampa Bay and the Super Bowl exact plus 5,500. How about the, and then obviously, spoiler, Super Bowl, exactly with the winner.

Right, Kansas City to defeat Tampa Bay at plus 11,000. Indeed. So, DeMonse, here's something I didn't even think about when I made this pick. Brew mentioned it. The Chiefs with Mahomes have been to five Super Bowl. balls all rematches played philly twice oh played san francisco twice the one other team they played

Tampa bay another Super Bowl rematch bake show against Patrick uh oh uh revisiting the greatest the craziest college football game ever played do you know about their college football game de mazah Well, Mahomes and Baker against each other? Yes, you do. I'm sure they probably let each other up. Hold on. Well, let me, Demonse. So let me just tell you real quick,

2016, because they have played in the playoffs before. All right, so the final score, DeMonsay, let me just actually, hold on, let me just go to Patrick Mahomes' college stats. Final score was 66 to 59. So that gives you a little bit of a preview. It was Texas Tech where Baker started against Oklahoma. And hold on, where is it?

Here it is. The final stats are as follows. Joe Mixon was in the game. He ran for 260. Okay? And four touchdowns. But that wasn't the story. The story was Baker.

Baker was 27 of 36. only through 36 passes for 545 yards, seven touchdowns, no picks. Jesus. Okay. Okay. Patrick, Patrick,

was 52 of 88. Oh, he was slated. For 734 yards. Five touchdowns. They did have a running back? Well, no, they did have a running back go 12 carries for 85 yards and two touchdowns. That running back's name was Patrick Mahomes.

So Mahomes in that game combined for 810 yards, seven touchdowns one pick, Bake show in that game, never ran the ball, threw for 545 and 7 touchdowns on just 36 attempts. Mahomes threw it 88 times. It is an all-time. legendary college football game. Sounds like a fun one, yeah. Yeah.

October 22nd, 2016, all-timer. And so they played in the playoffs before Patrick got hurt against the, when Baker was there in the Browns. And, yeah, that's my, that is my Super Bowl exacta. Super Bowl exacta. I cannot wait. We are so excited to announce our new presenting sponsor Hard Rock Bet.

And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers.

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.

And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us

on the night-to-night bases on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball, like, After you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick.

Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the pair. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean,

for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers? Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not.

I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to CrimeList on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

It's time to stop putting your healing on hold and start doing something about it. Listen to Just Here with Dr. Jay on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The 2020 for regular season, you went 48, 40, and 2, and your overall record was 56, 44, and 3. That was the ones we got in playoffs.

You also went undefeated in touchdown genie. Now, this wasn't every week, but we were undefeated. I was very picky with when I went with the Brewers love a good touchdown genie. They love an octopus bet in the Super Bowl. They love a touchdown genie. They love all these things. I was very choosy on when I wanted to do it. And I didn't realize it, but I did go undefeated on it.

All right. Five picks every week. What's my first pick? First pick. We've got Kansas City minus three versus the Chargers. Yeah, it's a neutral site and they're only laying three. It's not, I think the Chiefs are the best team in football. I think the Chargers are around the, you know, 14th best team in football.

I do not think any team is more. used to handling odd environments than Kansas City. Patrick is 5 and 2 against the spread in openers. I understand Herbert is a really good against the spread quarterback early in the season, 10 and 5. But part of that is Patrick being 5 and 2 is even more impressive when you consider the fact that the chiefs have become such a public team. Those lines are usually inflated.

Chargers in the other direction, you know, they haven't had a ton of early season, high, high level expectations. I just think, I do not see, I think that Trent McDuffie is going to be able to neutralize Ladd McConkey. And if that happens, how else are the chargers, who are they throwing it to? Like, how are they moving the ball? And I don't, I know Harbaugh is going to want to run. the No Rochon Slater is a big deal.

The Chiefs minus three against the Chargers is my first bet of the year. And spoiler, a bit, it is the only favorite I am taking in week one. Next pick, DeMonsay. Next pick, you got Miami Plus One at Indy. Yeah, this is a pretty simple one for me. you get the dolphins indoors controlled climate obviously fast track like that you get to a healthy like that you get tyreek something to prove early in the year like that and then you get a team in the colts that i believe might end up being the worst team in football this year is certainly it's

possible. I am getting a point. Now, obviously, getting one point doesn't help you a lot. It's you're really just picking a winner. Excuse me. I apologize. But if the dolphins, the dolphins have any chance of having a better season than I think the general public expects from them, they must start fast. Cults, pats, bills tough, jets. Jets, Panthers, Chargers, Browns. Like, that's their opening slate, because late in the year, you go, Ravens, Bills, commanders, Saints, easy, jets, Steelers, Bengals, Bucks, Pats, and a lot of cold weather games in there.

This is a, as close to a week one must win for a team's playoff hopes as exist. I don't love, obviously, the Colts quarterback and Daniel Jones. I think Miami wins the game outright, and I think Miami's going to be able to move the ball in the Colts defense. I'll take Miami plus one at Indy. And next, you've got Cleveland plus five versus Cincinnati. Do I love this? I don't.

Yeah. Does it feel good, including the Cleveland Browns in my week one picks? Of course not. However, what was lost in the shuffle about the Browns in week one is this. They'll be fine at quarterback this week. Now, once Flacco starts taking some hits, once the season starts progressing, you know, how fine are they going to be?

Probably not at all. But this will probably be the best quarterback situation they have all year. Cincinnati has Trey Hendricksson coming off missing most of training camp. Shemar Stewart, rookie pass rusher, missed a lot of the offseason. First game for a new defensive coordinator, and maybe most importantly, and this is a point I have been trying to make, I have real concerns about CINC's offensive line, and you got Miles Garrett.

Sinci also so just desperately needs a win that I don't think this is, at any point going to be a style points type of game. I think this is going to be a man, if we're up three late, suck the air out of the stadium, get out of there with a win. So I think that, you know, 2117 Cincinnati is a pretty likely outcome for this game. I'll take the five points. It's a home divisional dog. against a team that is awful every single year in week one.

And so Cleveland plus five against Cincinnati is the way I'm going. It's not calling a Cleveland win. I just don't think Cincinnati's going to dominate the game because they never dominate early in the season. Next. Good look there to you, Pops. We got Vegas at plus two and a half. You don't like that one.

It's, it's, yeah, because what if Cincinnati, what if they don't come out slow like they usually do. Well, then I'll lose the bet. Yeah. But no, but divisional. But what I will also say is, here's the other thing we know about Flacco. Flacco loves chucking it deep and going for a backdoor cover. Like that is, that's the other piece.

Like, could this be Cincinnati up 2717 with 90 seconds left? And Flacco is, you know, throwing bombs. And we end up stealing a backdoor cover for sure. All right, next. Next, you've got a Vegas plus two and a half at New England. Yeah, so this is, you know, basically just going with my preseason feel that the Raiders are better than people think they are. Now, I also think New England could be good. But I ain't New England is going to have real trouble scoring points this year.

I like the rookie running back. I like Drake May. I don't like the receivers at all. And where the Raiders are going to be in trouble is against teams with explosive offenses. The Patriots do not have that. So I think that this is one of the few matchups all year where the Raiders defense is not going to be exploited. I think Max Crosby could have a big impact on that Patriots offensive line. and if I know Vrable, he's going to game plan to just not let Max Crosby Stripzac flip the game,

which leads to conservative play calling. And a lot of what he did at times in Tennessee, which is just keep it close and try to out-execute them late. I think Gino is going to come out firing. I obviously really like Ashton Genty. And I think the Raiders win this game. and I'm getting two and a half points. This feels to me like 21-20 Raiders. So I'll take the Raiders plus two and a half.

Also, Patriots won four games last year, teams that won four or fewer the previous year and are week one favorites are 0 and five against the spread in the last five. It's a rare thing that happens. And so I will go with the Raiders plus two and a half. Last. Lastly, you've got Buffalo plus one.

versus Baltimore. Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. This is not anti-Lamar at all. He's a great player and a great, great, great, great regular season. No, it's simply this. If Buffalo is at home, they shouldn't be underdogs. That's all. You know what I mean?

Like Buffalo is too good of a team to be a home dog. and I think that that is I also saw Baltimore last year when people thought, oh, they have an extra chip on their shoulder because that's the team that knocked him out of the playoffs in the Chiefs and the Chiefs controlled that game. And so this, by the way, is a very similar situation. Last year, it was Kansas City minus one and a half.

Was it minus? No. Yes. It was Kansas City minus one and a half against Baltimore in Kansas City. And that was why that likely play was almost such an awful beat because I had KC minus one and a half. KC was up seven. They think they score that touchdown. And then they're going to go for two, which would have killed the bet.

you know what like if they go for two and they make it they win if they go for two and they miss it they lose either way the chiefs couldn't win by a point and a half um but i just don't think buffalo should be home dogs and it this will be the only time where do they play the chiefs uh and by the way they wouldn't be home dogs against they play the chiefs in buffalo but they'll be favored in that game like this is also a little too much a little too much respect for Baltimore. Like, anytime this year Buffalo is a home dog, I'll bet them, which means right now is the only time. This is the only time all regular season, there'll be a home dog. So, my five picks, and a lot of this does have to do with preseason priors, but what else can you

do in week one? Kansas City minus one in Brazil against the Chargers. Miami plus one at the Colts. Cleveland getting five at home against Cincinnati, Las Vegas getting two and a half in New England, and Buffalo getting one at home against Baltimore.

Steve Nass, get that thing. That man, hell get to fly. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball.

Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.

Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the pair. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny, Will Ferrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers?

Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops.

By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Woo-hoo-hoo. Listen to Crimes List on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Bill Belichick's debut happened. Started good. Hell of an opening drive.

And then the rest of the game happened. He bamboozled in that opening drive, got that opening touchdown, and it was pretty much downhill from there. This was a historically bad opener for UNC, actually. What's the state of Bill Belichick? that was pretty rough for him, obviously, he's an NFL coach. So this was, when we were talking,

and we're going to get to Arch Manning in a second. But when the discussion surrounding Arch Manning over the weekend was a lot of, well, what do you expect from him? It's up against that Matt Patricia pro-style defense. And I said yesterday, I think that is underselling, the impact the Ohio State players had and overselling the impact the actual coach had

because to me that was that was more about a young player who'd never played on the road playing in a brutal environment and the other team having all these pros on defense than it was about Matt Patricia's brilliant scheme but that was not a popular take the popular take was that patricia was dick lebo mixed with vince lombardi out there which would lead you to believe well if that's what patricia's defense looks like holy smokes wait do you see his mentor bill bellichick's defense you know monday night against tc u and then what happened what happened monday night against tc u was his team with the 70 new players with all the hype with Jordan and Mia Hamm and Lawrence Taylor and all the North Carolina royalty in the stadium

got absolutely dogwalked for three hours. Because here's the truth more than anything about college football. Scheme matters to a degree. Talent matters more than anything. Why is college coaching so important for the recruiting? for the in this day's NIL the ability to acquire the talent and it is college i looked at yesterday's game and i said tc u has a veteran quarterback who's been with the program for three years north carolina is starting a kid that transferred from south alabama i don't care that it's at

north carolina that is not exactly a super scary or intense intimidating place to play and I thought TCU I didn't think they were going to win by 30 But I thought they'd cover the three and a half and I think folks that expected Belichick to come in and do a snap turn them into a contender turnaround were foolish now oddly de Monzee I think this actually makes it more likely that Bill Belichick is the North Carolina head coach in a year. Yeah. Because the only way he wasn't going to be the North Carolina head coach in a year

was if this went so well that an NFL team was like, okay, that's, you know, he's had his time off. We now want to bring him in. I don't think it's going to go that way. And I do think that it is totally fair and totally, in bounds to ask the question, does 70-something-year-old Bill Belichick have his eye on the ball here? That how much of Belichick, Mr. No Distractions, Do Your Job, Keep the main thing, the main thing. How much of that has been weakened by this three-plus year at this point?

relationship with wannabe starlit Jordan Hudson that's fair that's not out of bounds that isn't I you're bringing up the guy's personal life because they have made their relationship super public via Instagram posts podcast interviews the CBS morning news and via the weirdest business run of trademarking attempting to trademark gold digger and other weird stuff that you just know is going to shine the spotlight on the coach and his girlfriend who is the coach is older than de monse's grandmother and the girlfriend is younger than de monze that's all fair and the only way to To knock that out and have it just be a side thing is to be great.

And not only do I not think they're going to be great, I think they are going, I think the expectations were a touch too high. You watched that game last night and you said to yourself, oh, are they going to have competent quarterback play? That's a fair question. Then you watched that game last night and you said to yourself, Oh, does that defense, you've got to assume the defense is well coached, so how do we explain what we saw? Do they just really not have the personnel?

Then you ask yourself the question of, how long has it been since we have known Bill Belichick is an above-average talent evaluator? All those things come together. for some very nervous times. So now listen, they get Charlotte, Richmond, and then UCF. I'm not, I'll be totally honest. I don't know how good UCF is supposed to be this year.

They will beat Charlotte and Richmond. And they don't have, because they're in the ACC and because of the draw they have, the only juggernaut on their schedule is Clemson. But in a month, when they host Clemson, it's going to look like,

the TCU game, but worse. And if TCU, a team on the fringes of the top 25, but outside of it, can do that to you, then you really worry about what any of the legitimate Power 5 programs are going to do to them. And so I... Do you think that anything that happens throughout this season is going to affect his legacy? Can it do that positively or negatively? Is it too early?

No, listen, if he went to college football and was awesome, that would positively affect his legacy. Him going to college football and being awful will not, in my opinion, negatively affect his legacy, except it will be, it will affect it like this. In 30 years, De Manzae, when you're talking sports, with young people. And they're talking about the greatest coaches of all time.

And they're like, yeah. And Bill Belichick at that point is like Vince Lombardi. You know what I mean? Where they act like, what was, you know, what made him greater, whatever? You'll be like, and really weird end for him. Right. He went in coached college and dated this 20 year old and like it kind of, you know, the last thing you remember about him.

Right, but it won't be a thing. My point is this. It won't be a thing that actually sticks to the legacy. It will just be a thing that people who were here for it, remember. That's, you know what I mean? But it won't, it won't stick to it for those in the history books. Now, here's where it does hurt his legacy to a degree, at least in my mind. And sorry if we're taking some internet hits

We got nothing open but the script So I got no way around that Oh, there is one thing I can do Hold on The He needed to be really good at North Carolina De Manze To have a chance to get back

To the NFL And run down Shula Yeah So that part You know what I mean? That part hurts him But no This is not his NFL legacy And listen, I know people are going to throw up the

Record with Brady record without Brady The problem for that is We all saw like those of us that saw Those first three Patriot Championships Understand how great they were defensively and that Brady wasn't Brady yet. And those of us that are being fair also remember

the final Patriot Championship where they scored 13 points in the Super Bowl and Belichick's defense made Sean McVeigh and Todd Gurley and Jared Gough look totally inept on the biggest stage. So like that, I'm not going to allow like the revision history on that, but this is a really, a very auspicious end or beginning to the final chapter. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.
