And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying. You just understood. That's how personal it got.

This week on Crimless, Rory and I welcome a very special guest. When I did podcasts, I wear my sleep masks. I like where this is going. So if you guys will indulge me. That's right, the incredibly talented and hilarious Will Ferrell on an episode dedicated to crimes committed by people named Will Ferrell. You're good for 300 crimes? Yeah. We got two.

I'm ready to go. right up to present day. Listen to Crimless on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome in. What's right with Nick Wright, episode 2 or 373, pardon me, brought to you as always by our friends at Boost Mobile. Busy week in the NFL and there, you know, we are now to where teams are really starting

to take shape. First quarter of the season is done. You know, DeBonte, he didn't used to be like this. I'm going to sound like an old man here, and I might sound like an old man with the Shador conversation. This first one, though, is not about, like, taste. It's just reality. The post-2011 lockout,

when they really change the rules on what you can and can't do in the off-season end in training camp. And then later on, when they removed one of the four preseason games, even less padded practices, added a 17th regular season game, September really became not quite an extended preseason, but similar to that in a way it didn't used to be. And so teams use September now to kind of try to figure. out who they are and get, you know, get so they are rolling by October when in the past,

that's literally what the preseason was. Starters played a lot, big time players played a lot. They had had a bunch of hard two-a-day practices. And so it makes handicapping the league the first few weeks of the season a little more difficult because teams really do change over the course of the year. But now we're in October. And now you kind of, you kind of, not are who you are, but you're a lot closer to your final form. And the hope is that you didn't dig yourself too big of a hole in September. And so the two teams that we thought could be legit, certainly playoff, and in one of their cases, championship contenders,

who dug quite a big hole, are playing each other this weekend in Baltimore and Houston. those are the two teams that didn't survive September at least 500, and now their backs are against the wall a bit. Obviously, other teams like the Niners dealing with injuries or the Bengals dealing with Burrow being out are in different spots, but from a record perspective. But I think we're going to start seeing really good football. And we've seen some good football, but really good football starting,

that is starting probably not tonight, but this weekend. and that I'm excited for. How are you doing this morning? I'm doing pretty good, Pops. How are you doing? I'm doing well. This has been an interesting week because, as expected, there are corners of the Internet and corners of,

not corners, and sections of my colleagues that are, I don't even think mad at me is the right word. Like, just openly, I don't know if mocking is the right word, something. Very, they're nonplussed about some of my Lamar commentary the last 72 hours. Oh, I've seen a little bit of that. And this is an annual tradition. And the only part of it that I actually have been, not irked, but yeah, irked by.

It like hit home a little bit. Well, not even hit home. Just annoyed, I guess the right word. is folks saying it's a straw man that people don't acknowledge Lamar's big game or postseason struggles. I'm like, it is because all of you picked the Ravens to win the Super Bowl every year. So it feels like that kind of fails to acknowledge it, but I'm not doing Lamar today. I mean, we will do do a little Ravens because I do think there's a chance he plays. I think there's a chance he.

He shouldn't. So, I mean, we're in a bad situation. And I think they could win with with Cooper Rush. And that's not, it's not an, just if you just run Derek Henry 35 times, I think you can beat a flailing Texan team. But we'll get to that. First, we have to get to what we're not going to get to, which is straight to voicemail brought to you by Boost Mobile. LeBron joins Kai Sinat on stream along with Ty Lill. Big weekend for those three, those streamer guys.

that I got to spend a little bit of time with back in June in Kai, Ty Lill and Speed hanging out with Brady, Kai and Ty Lill hanging out with Braun. Ty Lill could not have been more excited. And, Braun cut off Kai's dread. So was that real? He really did that, right?

I'll be honest. I didn't watch the Mafiathon thing. But listen, pretty cool. Kevin Hart also, who was there when I met those guys, Kevin Hart goes on their stream Everybody's doing the streamers

I got to get with it I said I was going to do it over the summer I didn't do it I got to get with it Seth Curry joins his brother and the Warriors Love it I think I called this six months ago

Not I think I don't know I think I mentioned That I could When we were talking about The Warriors off season That I thought Seth would fit well I honestly though

You know what I do remember I think I just said it like in passing Yeah. You know, we didn't do like a whole thing on it, but I love that. I think Seth's a really good player in his role. And I like the idea of Seth and Steph being together. I also thought the little viral video, even if it was misleading, of the rookies on the Warriors being nervous to ask Steph for a picture was adorable.

Yeah. I thought that was really cool. It would be like the real literal Splash Brothers. Oh, I didn't even think about that. You're right. You're right. That's a great take. Biological Splash Brothers.

Biological Splash Brothers. Love it. And the WMBA Commissioner is going to lose her job. This is, you can't come back from it. And I'm not going to act like I am an expert on Kathy Engelbert's tenure at the head of the league. I am going to say when a player is good as high profile and maybe most importantly as respected, as an Ephesa call, you goes full ether on you for five minutes in a prepared statement,

your days are numbered. So I think there are, I have enough respect for the people that cover and follow the WMBA every single day and have more expertise on it than me, that I will leave the details or the detailed opinions on that to them. I don't want to parachute in on something that I don't, I don't feel fully solid ground on knowing the full background of her tenure, the good, the bad, or whatever. But I do know, I feel like I know enough about just business in general that when one of your

admirals goes public on the record of, we have lost faith in the Central Command, Central Command usually has a change. All right, please like, rate, subscribe, review to the pod. we greatly appreciate that. I did not think we would be starting with the Brown's third string quarterback. However, because of the last 24 hours and because this show loves itself, some meta media discussion, we are going to start with the Brown's third string quarterback. Go right ahead, pal. No, I'm kidding.

Joe Flacko's been big. You tricked me. Hold on. I was about to say, DeMonze's bike's not working. I just went to see if my headset got disconnected. That was really good, mouthing of the words. You totally tricked me. All right, good job there.

I mean, that's for watching on YouTube, you got the bit. If you're listening to us on podcast, it doesn't really play. But good job. All right, go ahead. So Joe Flacco has been benched, and Dylan Gabriel is the new quarterback one. and uh, Shadur responded to that news and oppressor and maybe Rex Ryan with a little bit of meaming or miming action. What are your take or your thoughts on this?

Okay. So let me, let me give the audience the very short history of this, okay? A week ago, Shador gave a somewhat innocuous, but probably poorly worded comment when he said, you know, I'm paraphrasing, but I think this is going to be close to an exact quote. You know, I watched the league, and I'm better than some of those guys out there starting. I didn't think it was a huge deal. I think that one of the reasons de Monzae that I thought that comment was likely to not go great for him

was because one could argue the starting quarterback in the league playing the worst was his own. You know what I? So if he was third string for the bills and said, you know, I watch the league and, you know, I feel like I'm better than some of the guys starting,

I think the exact. quote was, if you see the quarterback playing the league right now, I know I'm capable of doing better than that, then I think it's less of a problem. When a lot of people felt like and feel like the Brown starting quarterback was playing the worst of everyone in the league, it could have been construed as an unintentional shot at Flacco. I don't think it was that at all, but it was just a little trickier of a spot. Does that part make sense what I'm describing there? Yeah. Okay. Then Rex Ryan goes on TV and makes a fool of himself.

Yeah. Like every time I see Rex Ryan, he's just talking about how much someone sucks. It's like the whole bit. It's that Russell Wilson can't play dead in a Western. It's the end. His career's over. He comes at people like they're the reason. You know every problem in his life that he has like yeah I I don't personally like that his style

I'm just gonna be transparent on this I don't I don't know Rex personally I'm not I don't want please awful announcing don't make this a Nick right of this trades I'm not trying to do that I'm just being honest I think Rex like goes on TV It's like this guy sucks this coordinator's an idiot I do a better job with that bang I'm out here and so I just don't love that let me put it like this he would it just he would not fit on first things first

you know what I mean but I mean different styles or different folks and I wouldn't fit on other shows whatever I'm really trying to be kind here but be honest with my opinion pretty clearly and oh and one of the things he said he said two things that really

struck me with the Shador commentary. One was he basically reported that Shador is not doing the work. He was like, get in there and study. If I know this, the whole league knows this. It's like, wow. Like Rex Ryan, elbowing Shepter off the breaking news beat. Like I had not seen that reported anywhere that Shadour's been lazy or not paying attention to meetings. would be news. But the other thing he said was, you know, shut up and dribble. Not quite shut up and dribble, but shut your mouth. So, Chador yesterday was asked about Dylan Gabriel being named the starter and about how he was not elevated to second string because that's the other piece of news here.

It didn't go flat. typically if a veteran quarterback, not always, but I shouldn't even say typically, sometimes when a veteran quarterback is benched, he then goes to the bottom of the depth chart. He wasn't a veteran, but last year when Bryce Young got benched for Andy Dalton, that first game, Bryce wasn't the backup. You know what I mean? Like it was, he went all the way down the ladder and then, so there was an opportunity that was going to be Gabriel one, Chador, two, Flacco, three.

That ended up not happening. Just Gabriel and Flacco, flip, Shador stayed three. He was asked about all of this, and he smiled, and, in my opinion, looked like he always does, which is charming, and seemingly talked without talking, moved his mouth. And I actually wonder if a professional, I wonder if he was giving real answers. He was saying something there. I was, yeah. Like, yeah, I mean, he was clearly, he wasn't like, you know, just speaking gibberish. I now, I don't know if the sentences were, you know, an inaudible. I was told, you know, on TV, they told me not to talk. So this is me not talking. Or I don't know if it was an inaudible. I'm happy for Dylan to be getting this opportunity. I'm still working hard. But he was clearly saying sentences, but they were dead sight. And the reason I wanted to start the show. show with it is because this is just a perfect, just perfect moment for today's media and social media. Because, hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the 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 throughout there. 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, 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. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and Friends.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchen won. I mean, she went down to three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me.

And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court-side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

If you want, which I don't want to do, to kill Shador, it's an example of just wanton immaturity. I don't want to kill Shadour. and if you want to blindly support Shador, the criticism he gets from this will be an example. The kid can't win. He talks and he gets yelled at.

He literally doesn't talk and you kill him anyway. I don't want to do that either because I'm not an idiot. what everyone, every adult has a responsibility to set down for a moment their priors and to ask themselves this honest question. if Shador was your best friend, if he were your, I don't want to say son, because Prime has, I think, not helped him on this, and I'll get to that in a second. If he were your godson or your nephew, or you were his high school guidance counselor who he stayed in touch with, and he called you up and was like, hey, Do you see what Rex Ryan said about me? Yeah, I saw. And you saw that Gabriel's the starter now, right?

Yeah, I saw. So when they asked me about it, listen to what my plan is. I'm going to answer their questions silently. What are you, you're going to like write it down? No, I'm going to stand in front of the cameras and act like I'm talking, but not make any sounds. How awesome does that, how awesome of an idea is that? All of us would say, don't fucking do that, man. It's a bad idea.

Fair or not, bad idea. Why, these told me I shouldn't talk. Buddy, here's all you got to say. You're asked about Dylan. Really happy for Dylan. You know, he and I, obviously same draft class. We've been working together this whole time. Joe's been great to all of us.

You know, it's coach's choice to make a change. And, you know, Dylan works hard. He's a really good player. I'm excited. You know, I'm excited to watch it. Well, are you upset? You know, you didn't get bumped up to second string. You know, do you...

Listen, I believe in myself. I'm not going to lie to you guys and act like I don't. I believe that I will one day be a starting quarterback in this league. But my job right now is to keep doing what I've been doing, studying, working hard, being a good teammate. And hopefully, you know, we can get back on the winning track this weekend. That's all you have to do. Everything else is foolishness. And anyone acting like acknowledging that.

him doing a bit in the locker room in front of the media as the third string quarterback is good for him or smart or productive is a liar also not the third string quarterback what do you mean well was joe and then it was dillon and then they moved him down below joe again like what's that why no why do they do that he is still third string Like, no, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, he's third again. Yeah. No, he's, yeah, he stayed third.

He didn't. No, they, listen, I don't, I don't know how he's looked at practice at this point. I don't know how he is in film study. I know that. He played one preseason game looked awesome, played another preseason game, looked bad. I, like all of these. So I, I don't know if in that building, there are different camps like stefansky is deeply invested in gabriel but the owner wanted chador and so

i don't know any of that i don't none of that is relevant to this piece of it just control what you can control bro you are not right now getting the opportunity to show what you can do on the field publicly so all you can do is show that you can be a true professional privately or you know in your role as backup quarterback and this is what and I did Cam Newton show a couple days ago and cam has real excuse me sympathy for Chador. And Cam feels like a lot of what he dealt like that, you know, Cam had a real hard time when he had to be a backup.

And Cam felt his celebrity and aura worked against him at those things. And I said this to Cam and I'll expand on it here. One is, while I respect the, I respect folks who believe Chador does have starting, caliber talent and traits and will be a good NFL quarterback. I'm not, I thought, a lot of people I respect have that opinion and fair, no problem. Cam was talking about him as if Cam and Shador were at all similar prospects. They weren't, man.

Like, Chador is, whether he should have been or not, he's a fifth round. pick and the other piece of it that i really wish somebody close to chador would really explain to him is this man you have maybe it shouldn't be this way but it is you have one of the only one of the only jobs left in modern America where celebrity works against you. In almost every other job, I don't care what it is, if it's like, hey, I can do the job well. Also, oddly, I'm very famous on TikTok. That doesn't hurt you. it usually helps you.

The only job where your bosses want you to be as anonymous as possible is back up NFL quarterback. And now maybe the organizations are too stodgy. Maybe that's stuck it. Maybe that'll change. It ain't changing this month. and I do think we have seen over the course of these few months some of the reason that once teams, and this was the seminal moment, once he was not graded as franchise quarterback coming out of the draft, top 10, top 15 pick,

and he was graded as backup who could one day compete to be a starter that his job description changed massively and he is still carrying himself as if it hadn't and i am not asking for the kid to be humbled. I hate that commentary. I'm not asking for him to change who he is at a personal level. I am asking for him to recognize that this shit works against him. And his dad, who everybody loves, myself included, Instagramming in response. to this video, all these laughing emojis, and writing Good One, Son, you did that, is not helpful. Go to Monty, go ahead. I can tell you want to say something. I didn't know that. I didn't know that happened.

But at the end of the day, you were one step. Like, I guess he was still third on the dev chart. But Joe Flackett were getting pinched. You were a step closer in the direction that she wanted to be added. So there, it was unnecessary. It's just, and this is what's frustrating to me, and this is why I wanted to lead the show with it. Because it is a, my favorite topics are when sports, a sports discussion is a microcosm for a bigger worldwide, you know, holistic discussion. There are going to be so many disingenuous fools that today try to act like, See, damned if you do, damned if you don't. You tell him to shut up.

And then when he literally does, you criticize him for that too. As if we can't hold multiple thoughts in our head at the same time. And as if we're not all functioning adults that recognize this was, he was running a bit. He is doing 45 seconds to stand up in the locker room. as the third string quarterback when all you've got to do is not not do a single thing that is going to add to the questions the media is going to ask to Fansky and then bide your time bro because Gabriel's not going to start the last 13 games I don't think he's good enough me listen they are going to give Gabriel a real opportunity there's

There's no question about that. And Gabriel, you know, they have a real investment in him. I just don't think Gabriel's good enough to run the table the rest of the way. So he should get a shot. He just has to be ready for it. I just, I, I, I really think he is getting, and people thought that this was patronizing when I said he's getting bad advice. They're like, he's 23-year-old grown man.

Shut up. Monza is 27. I give DeMazza professional advice all the time. I'm 40. I call my dad for advice on things. Like the idea that because... 23 years is... You're good.

Right. He's almost old enough to rent a car without paying the extra fee. He's beyond advice. It's just idiotic. Like, yes, he's allowed... Now, at 23, he's his own man. He can make his own decisions. He can take the advice and throw it in the garbage. I and so but but the idea that you shouldn't have people in your life like hey man that's a mistake

it's it and and I really like him the thing is this I think I do think he's charming I do think he's talented. I do think he is well-intentioned. But I think there is a protectionism. He right now, to me, is in a really, and they're not a similar player, but he is risking entering the Tebow zone of your biggest fans hurt you where because you are such a celebrity and because they have more you are you are not only a person anymore you are like a vessel for their own wants and desires that that works against you professionally and dion and the last thing i'll say is this and this is where like Like, it's tough because you see your own kids through a parent's eyes. You know what I mean?

Through the, and I, I get that. Dion's got to recognize, man. You could do this. Your son can't. Why? Because Dion's one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. And your son is not. And he doesn't, and you'd be like, well, Dion wasn't that until, no,

Dion was. Deon, Dion was, Deon, going into the draft was talking about, this team better not draft me. I'll bankrupt the bank. Like that, like, guess what? People are like, all right, he might be a lot to deal with. But did you see the 40-yard dash time? Did you see him locked down on the side of a field for two years at Florida State? Dion's like, I might play baseball too. They're like, we'll fly you out there, buddy, whatever. you want. Dion had two things going for him that are very important that Chador did not. One is he was a super-dooper star on the field. And the other one is he wasn't a quarterback. Because as great as Dion was, if he were a quarterback instead of a cornerback, it would have been trickier. And so Cam was a quarterback and dealt with some of this.

He was coming off the single greatest season in the history of college football. And so, like, he can, I just, I don't know, man. I, I, I, I legit worry that he is, he's, he's, he's hurt. He's, like, wounded all the time. Oh, yeah, feelings are always hurt. And I think he kind of doesn't know how to deal with it sometimes. Shouldn't say, I don't, I don't know, man, but like, you know, with that type. Oh, I think that's a great take.

The idea that he is, for the first time in his football life, consistently being told, yeah, you're not good enough right now. And when not only was he not told that before, he was the best player or second best player on every team he ever played on. Yeah. And so I think that I think there is something to that. I think the whole thing, though, I just, I thought that was a mistake. All right. brought to you by our new presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet.

And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? 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 throughout there. But this one's actually. 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.

Well, 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. was 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. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay.

Jenchian went. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

All right, so we're calling this one the right bowl. your chiefs go against the Jags on Monday night football.

So thread the needle on how you would kind of like this game to go for you to come out on top. Because you know, obviously, these are both your guys. Well, yes. I mean, they are my guys. But this is like a, I mean, this is like a Domanzae versus Luca situation. My actual son versus my pretend son. And so like, I like, I really like. I really like Trevor.

I love Patrick. Like there's not a, this isn't, what was that McCauley Calkin movie? Where the mom's at the cliff? Was it the good son? She has to pick which were the kids? This isn't like a hard one.

Well, one of the kids was evil. It was really tricky. Doesn't matter. But, yeah, I mean, no, I'm rooting for the chiefs to roll. Now,

in a perfect world, they roll. they roll and Trevor looks good. And the Jags defense has been really good. They have been really good primarily because they are forcing three turnovers a game. They have 13 forced turnovers through nine games. The most interesting thing going on with the Jags right now, though,

Demonsie is not Trevor. as much as I wish it was because he's just not playing that well. Like, not only is he not the reason they're three and one, you could argue that if he could have just taken care of the ball against Cincinnati, they'd be four and up. Like, the Jags are, if Trevor starts playing better, the Jags are legit dangerous. Yeah.

The most interesting thing with the Jags right now is Travis Hunter. and they haven't figured out how to use him. And right now, it's kind of the worst of both worlds, which is he's not full-time either side of the ball. We thought he would play more than, you know, any of these other first-round picks. Instead, he's playing less than some of them, and he's not being super impactful in either sports. fine and so folks that were saying again it's been a month he needs to be full time one way and a bit

player the other way i think right now that looks like that was that would have been the smarter way to play it through september now maybe that'll change but i think for jacksonville to just by trading away the fifth pick, a third round pick, and next year's first round pick, to move up for a non-quarterback. It had to be because they thought they were getting two players. I thought they were getting two players. And right now they have just gotten one okay player on both sides of the ball. So that part, that's the most interesting part for the Jaguars. Go ahead.

Do you think that the Chiefs will backslide a little bit from their progress that they made with Baltimore as far as the offense? Listen, I think that the offensive line is getting better week by week. You now have almost, you know, you now have wide receivers two, three, four, and five. You're still missing wide receiver one in Rishi Rice. Kelsey is looking better than he looked last year. I think the offense is going to continue to look good. And the Chiefs have averaged their last five games with Worthy, going back to last year, average 28 points per game.

And last year that was with the offensive line kind of, you know, being in shambles to a degree on the left-hand side. Now, Jacksonville's defense is obviously better than Baltimore's. I don't expect the Chiefs to go eight straight positions. without a punt like they did against Baltimore. But I do think Kansas City goes to Jacksonville, handles their business, and then, you know, has a hell of an opportunity on Sunday night football

against the Lions in the final game without Rishik. But I don't want to get overly excited about Tyquan Thornton. but he's been good. And I'm now looking at, Juju's been really solid in his role, but he just can't move anymore. Like, you know what I mean? He just has, you know,

I don't know what his 40-yard time would be right now, but it feels like it would be like 4-8. But he's been a good blocker. He's been, he's in the right place, all those things. But I am starting to think about what this offense is going to look like when Rishi Rice is in Juju's role, Xavier is on one side, and at this point I trust Thornton more than I trust Hollywood Brown,

and all of a sudden you have Thornton is your number three, Hollywood is your four, juju is depth, and Kelsey with all that space in the middle of the field. Now that won't be the case, obviously this weekend, or Monday night, because Rice isn't back yet. But I think we're going to see more from Travis

just by virtue of having Thornton, who's a burner, and Xavier out there, that he's going to have more space to operate with. They still don't have a running back, I trust. That seventh round rookie, Richard Smith, we'll see if they incorporate him more. That's the one spot on the team that I would like to see them potentially upgrade

in the trade market. But I'm, I would be very surprised if Kansas City can't go to Jacksonville and figure out how to get a win against a really good Jags team. Now, if the Jags win,

Jags are four and one, you've got to really take them seriously. But I don't think they're going to win. Go ahead, Val. Who is the weak link on the Jags right now? Would you say that's Trevor Lawrence? I mean, he's playing, I don't think he is,

but he is playing. like it. At the end's been good. Now, Brian Thomas Jr. has been disappointed as well. And that he's had a lot of drops. The Devens has been great. Like, Trevor's got to be better. There's no way around it. Fair is fair. Trevor's got to be better. All right, let's go to tonight's game. So Purdy is out for tonight's game. He's still dealing with the turf toe injury. With Purdy's last game, he threw two picks. He had a fumble. Mack Jones and his two games is undefeated. So Oz are going to be on that situation. Do you think the 49ers have a chance tonight And how concerned should the 49ers be about Rob Purdy's health?

I do not think the 49ers have a chance tonight. I think the Rams are excellent. And I would be hugely concerned about Purdy's health. I would also be furious with my medical staff once again if I'm the Niners. It's not like the NFL spins a wheel to determine who's playing Thursday. night each week. If you're the Niners, you knew that you were playing Thursday this week. Pretty clearly was not 100% this past Sunday.

They let him play anyway. The injury got worse. He now is definitively going to miss this game. And he's not even healthy enough to be like the emergency quarterback for them and could miss more time. I don't understand, especially because they did go 2 and O with Mac Jones, how they don't hold purdy out, De Manzee, this past Sunday, and then he gets four extra days before he would be playing against the Rams to heal up that toe,

and then 10 days before the next game. You know, you could have eased him back in. three games off and then he plays the Rams, then a mini buy before they play the next week. Now this is probably going to be a problem all year, which brings me to the bigger purdy conversation. Man, I said all offseason, why would you be in a rush to pay this player? he struggled at his worst year yet last year has dealt with some injuries and has no leverage whatsoever just wait and see they gave him 50 what three million dollars a year and now like it has been four games into the contract

if they could wipe it away, would they? Of course. And I know that there is, it felt unfair because he had made no money at all as the final pick of the draft. And they had been to a Super Bowl and been to a conference championship game and two of his years he had played really well. But you're not in the fairness business. You're in the football business. And the other, had they not paid him, and then this, you know, we see this opening month of the season, it's like, oh, Mac Jones, who is basically on the minimum,

can be dropped into this offense without all the weapons, and it can function. Are we better off spending our money elsewhere? Are we bet like do we need a 50 million dollar a year quarterback unless he's a true difference maker and that's let that's the other piece of this is we have so much evidence that that shanahan system is relatively quarterback proof now listen purty's a healthy purdy is better than mac and raises your ceiling but does he raise your ceiling more than having three separate pro bowl level players that you could get with $50 million a year, I don't know that he does. So I have been, there are very few opinions that have spanned the course of five,

six years that have aged better than my, I do not believe the Niners quarterback is as good as his numbers suggest it's about Shanahan, the weapons in the system, then that take. But once again, I think that takes going to age quite well. It also should be noted because people are putting out there the Niners wide receiver room. And I'm like, oh, I recognize those guys. Patrick Mahomes won Super Bowles with him. DeMarcus Robinson, Sky Moore, Mark Wes Vald as Scantling. What do you expect anyone to do?

I don't know. Patrick Mahomes won Super Bowl. So, like, there is that. All right, I know you want to ask me about Puka. Yeah, so where would you rank him amongst wide receivers? He's number one in yards, receptions, and yards by a lot. By a lot. Stafford loves him.

He's on pace, DeMonse, through 16 games, not even 17 games, for more than 160 catches in the first ever 2,000-yard season. So here is All right Here is the It's weird to say He has Almost an ironclad case

That he should be in consideration As the best receiver in the NFL Yet I cannot Wrap my mind around The idea that he's better than Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase. And I feel like he could have a 2,000 yard season, and I still would not be able to wrap my

mind around it. But, you know, he's doing it with not great quarterback play. He's doing it under, I shouldn't say he's not great quarterback play. He's doing it when he's not fully healthy. He's been able to just do it. And it's, I think he's playing it. a higher level than Cooper Cup did. And so some of that is, you know, when we saw Cooper Cup do it, now we're seeing Pooka do it,

Stafford and McVeigh gets some of the credit. But Pook is an unbelievable player. He is really an unbelievable player. And he certainly, DeMonse has to be in your top five. Certainly. I still think Jefferson's the best receiver in football. but man, Pook is an unbelievable player. He's just an unbelievable player.

It seems like a solid teammate as well. I mean, same thing, Justin Jefferson as well, but you know. Yeah, but he doesn't, it doesn't seem like he has the like wide receiver curse, but it also helps that he gets 15 targets a game. I think all these receivers be pretty happy with, you know what I mean, with those types of targets. All right, let's talk Houston, Baltimore. So I banged up Ravens.

are playing the lowly Texans. These guys are both one and three. Who's this a big game for? All right. So first of all, let me say the, I think there is a chance Lamar plays. Rappaport seemed to open the door to it. The only person to slam the door shut on it was a Baltimore Sun reporter.

So I think there's a chance he plays. I also think, even if he doesn't play DeMonse, you guys could win. Like Houston's offense has been dreadful for 15 of the 16 quarters this year. Fourth quarter against Tennessee, they started scoring. But that game was 6-0. 6-0, either late in the 3rd or going into the 4th. And then Houston rolled up some touchdowns.

Now, maybe that's some momentum. Maybe like I said at the top of the show, they were working through things, new offensive coordinator, all that. But they have looked shaky. So I think the game is more important for the Texans because of this. If they lose, they're just flat bad. If you can't beat the Ravens when going into this game, unlike the Chiefs game, Chiefs game they went in without forced defensive starters. this game they'd be going in without seven and no Lamar, then who the hell are you beat it?

You can't beat a team who's got a terrible defense and their MVP quarterbacks out, then where other than the Titans, like who are you beating? I also, one of the reasons that I am, you know, not going to abandon the Ravens, even if they lose is I don't fully trust the Steelers yet. and I still think the Steelers could have a four-game losing streak in them and open that division up. And I do believe that when Lamar is out there, the Ravens have one of the best offenses in the league during the regular season, and I think they will continue to. But the more disappointing start to the season is Baltimore. the more trouble for either team is Houston.

Let me ask you this. If Lamar loses, if Lamar misses the next two weeks. Yeah. Because they have the Texans, the Rams, and then the buy. And they are one in five. If he misses and they lose, do you think that's a wrap for them?

Or go ahead. or it's pretty close uh i mean i think it's close i do like the stealers being the top dogs right now though uh because i have no faith in in a r i watch a lot of his like when things are going good he loves it but the second one thing goes bad and i mean just like a receiver missing something he's pissed so if they start losing again if they lose two games in a row one game i think it's just going to stack on top of it on top of itself i also so i tend to agree with you. Here's, but let's just say they're one in five, if the Ravens are one and five, that the division's out of reach.

And let's just do a playoff exercise. The wild card spot. Okay. Yeah. So the bills are going to be in. Under this scenario, we're saying the Steelers are going to be in. We're going to put the chiefs and the chargers in. Okay.

And obviously, let's just say the cults keep doing it. what they're doing and they're in those five teams did i leave bills steelers yeah chiefs chargers colts so that will then leave two playoff spots the jaggs the patriots the broncos would be the leading contenders yeah do we think the raven could run two of those teams down, even at starting one in five, if Lamar comes back from the by fully healthy. My answer to that is, yeah, I think they could.

Like, I would not write off Baltimore because... Schedule softens up a lot after the Rams, so to speak. It's really interesting. So I think they have a brutal, December, but a very soft end of October, November. So if you're the Ravens, again, if we just play this out, and I think they are going to win this weekend, okay? So at two and four, I think they'd be fine. But if they're one and five, you are, after the buy, home for Chicago, at Miami, at Minnesota, at Cleveland, home for the Jets, home for

Sensey. Baltimore absolutely, if Lamar comes back healthy, can go 6 and 0 in that stretch. Bears, dolphins, Vikings, Browns, Jets, Bengals. I know that the defense has been bad, but the quarterbacks being Caleb, who I think's good, then Tua, whoever's starting for Minnesota, whoever's starting for Cleveland, Justin Fields, Jake Browning, you should be able to go six and up. If you could do that at one and five, you'd be seven and five going into what I think is a brutal final five games. Home for Pittsburgh, who gives you trouble every year, at Cincinnati, not terrible. home for New England tough at Green Bay at Pittsburgh. If you get to 7 and 5,

you probably just have to go 3 and 2 in those final 5 to get to your 10 wins and sneak into the playoffs. Yeah. And potentially, you know, have the head-to-head tiebreaker with New England like that game December 21st against New England could be a huge one. Obviously, the Steeler games are.

So I won't point that I'm making is this. Even if they go one and five, I won't write them all. And if they go two and four, I think they'll be fine. Obviously, they will need Lamar to be full on Lamar. But Lamar was utterly sensational through the first three games of the year. Like I do the bright side to my take being it's all in Lamar's head that he's just not a like a playoff or against the chief's type of performer is it's not like oh he's in a slump. Like I think the moment he gets back, he's just kicking ass again. Yeah.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a podcast. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did 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. Well, 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, people could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I

And in recognition of mental health awareness month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests. I'm talking, Tripp Fantine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing and we're still chasing it and we don't know when we've done enough.

Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth, or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely.

And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person. a good person. Join me, Keir Gaines, as we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, Learn the Hardway. Open your free iHeartRadio app.

Search Learn the Hardway and listen now. All right, let's do a few minutes on baseball before we get to the questions from Tuesday that we didn't get to. And also, reminder, everybody, we do have the gambling show coming out Friday morning with

our picks. Go ahead, pal. So the MLV playoffs are underway. The Yankees tied up their series with the Red Sox, the Dodgers advanced, and two more Wild Car Series will wrap up today. What do you have your eye on in this baseball postseason? Listen, I hope the Yankees win because I want to be able to maybe do some shows from Yankee Stadium again. It was so much fun. That was a great Yankee win last night.

And Jazz Chisholm, who was not happy with his usage in game one, saved the game for him. He made an unbelievable diving stop at second base late in the game and then scored from first the winning run. So that, you know, I am rooting for the Yankees tonight. The pitching matchup for the Yankees tonight is they have Schlitler on the mound and the socks have Connolly Early on the mound. The Yankees are a slight favorite.

The Dodgers annihilated the Reds. That's good for baseball. Sorry for Cincinnati, but that's good for baseball. That's exciting. Tigers Guardians, I am, I don't know who I'm rooting for because the Tigers kind of deserve to just have this whole thing fall apart on them because they had such a, his story collapse. Like a 14-game league, right?

Yeah. 14-game lead. and then Cleveland ended up winning the division. I, that game's a coin flip to me. And then Padres Cubs, it's better for baseball, in theory, for the brand of the Cubs, but the Padres have so many stars.

And you Darvish on the Mountain night and the Padres were my preseason pick to, you know, make the World Series out of the NL. I would be rooting for the Padres. Either way, we're going to have sick divisional round because we're going to get Dodgers Phillies in the NL, which is unbelievable. And then the Brewers are waiting for either the Padres or the Cubs.

And in the AL, we're getting either Blue Jays Yankees or Blue Jays Red Sox, a nice AAL East battle. and then the Mariners waiting for the Tigers or the Guardians. Kind of feels like Mariners' guardians would be awesome because they both finished the year so red-hot. And Blue Jays, Yangs. So, you know what? No, I'm not going to bet it because I haven't studied any of this.

But I am going to go ahead and say, I am rooting for the Guardians over the Tigers, the Yankees over the Red Sox, and the Padres over the Cub. so we get Brewer's Padres, Dodgers, Phillies already locked, Blue Jays, Yankees, and Mariners Guardians. That's what I'm pulling for. All right, De Manze, let's get to some of these questions

before we get to our gambling show, which will come out tomorrow. So everybody in the chat on Tuesday was asking about how the Ryder Cup went? I really enjoyed going. I had a great time. I don't want to spend more time on it. Eagle fans are out of their mind. mind. They're out of their mind. And the, I, I actually had to, I, I, should I tell this story. Yeah, whatever, who cares. So I was just getting, I was getting the Rory McElroyd treatment from Eagle fans the whole day. And these are just like, drunk finance guys in golf shirts.

Um, and so whatever, fine. Late in the day's Saturday, I'm walking to find hubs, because I went with Danny and hubs. And there's a long line of people trying to get beer. And I'm about 40 feet from it. And again, we're at a golf tournament, man. And I hear, hey, Nick Wright. F you. But they didn't say F.

and I'm like, you know what? Not okay. And I could see who it was deep in the beer line. And I'm like, we're going to go have a chat. And so I, I walked, I started walking his way and his friends were like tapping or whatever. But again, DeMonte, this guy is not your age. This guy is my age. And, uh, and I walk over to him.

and I do what I always do in these situations, which is I clasp my hands behind my back. Like, because I'm like, this guy's drunk and like, whatever, like, I don't want him to think, like, I'm coming over there to, like, fight, but you're going to have to answer. They're waiting for him. No, no, no, no. I was just not, um,

and as soon as I get within 10 feet, he does one of these. He's like, hey, man, I'm sorry. I actually like the show. I'm just, and I'm like, and I'm like, no. no he's like what i'm like buddy we're adults at a golf tournament not cool and his friends be like yeah man sorry and he's like he's like and so he tries shake my hand i'm like i'm not

shaking your hand man but i also am going to need an apology and and he's like and he's like what And his friends who were mortified were like, hey, man, just apologize. And I'm like, I'm going to need an apology. And at this point, again, it's like a 300-person beer line. Right. Everybody's looking. And he's like, he's like, I'm sorry, man. I'm like, thank you.

And then he tried to shake my hand again. I'm like, I'm not shaking your bleep in hand. And then I went and found hubs. I couldn't take it anymore. I had a great time of the Ryder Cup, but I just couldn't take it anymore. Come on, man. Like, buddy, you work it at, you trade stocks for a living

or something, trying to be Tommy Tough guy in a golf tournament, wearing khakis and a polo rider cup shirt. All right, next. Hey, man, he's sorry. He's sorry? Dead ass is the tattoo real, Nick? The never-a-doubt tattoo that I never know how to show on camera.

I still haven't figured it out. See, that tattoo is real. The tackle-to-turn-the-tied tattoo. Oh, yeah. Was temporary. That was a... I will tell a story about that, though. I went to the tattoo shop

to get them to do the stencil and then draw it on for the bit for the show. The lady there was like, yeah, I can do it. But I just have to charge you the same price as if I gave you the actual tattoo. And I'm like, okay. Wait, whoa, wait. Hold on.

So the stencil, am I tripping? Isn't the, you like printed out and then you put it on your arm? You like it's like basically like one of those things you'd put a quarter in a machine. They get a little thing. Correct. Yeah. And then she got a Sharpie and drew on the stencil. And it was $150.

That's, I would have drawn it on myself. I wanted it to look good. Wait, right. Also, I kind of played myself because she hadn't quoted me a price. and then I walked up to the thing to pay and I and I had a debit card and or credit card. She was like, we're cash only. And I'm like, oh, okay, no problem. And I, again, I'm not trying to sound like a big shot, but I walk around with a, because

I'm a gambler. I just walk around with a lot of cash. You know, like a lot of money. I always have it on me. And so I, she still hadn't told me a problem. Christ and I reach in my pocket and I just grab my cash and it's I don't know it's probably two grand in hundreds and she's and I see or see it I'm like oh I'm getting so played here now I was like there's no and so and so um she was like well like the least we're allowed to charge

is a hundred dollars and I'm like okay I was like then I guess it's a hundred bucks so you gave her and so yeah And so then I'm like, so I gave her, I gave her 200s. And I'm like, hey, can I just have change for this one for your tip? She's like, oh yeah, thank you. And then she's like, we don't have change. She was like, we don't, I can't. She's like, I don't have change.

We've just opened. And I'm like, oh, okay. And I'm thinking she's going to be like, but the hundred's fine. Like, I'm just drawing the tackle that turned the tide on your arm. Yeah. And she goes, you can zell me. Yeah, I was, I just whatever. I was like, all right, whatever.

She was a nice lady. So I zeld her, or I binmoter 50 bucks. So yeah. All right. It is what it is. Whatever, it was good for the bit. It's a good bit for TV. All right.

Let's get to some of the Thursday questions. As Sean says, Nick, can you explain why nobody is dogging on Justin Herbert for losing to the Giants. I've not heard a lot about it. Because people don't act. Listen, I don't think people care quite enough about Justin Herbert. I also think he had been playing quite well prior to that game. You know what I mean?

So like that's... The Giants have a solid defense, well. Yeah, and so, and that was more about Jackson Dart, whatever it is. All right, next. H.J. says, hi, Nick, and Demonsie, are you concerned by the already mounting number of serious injuries? Is it just me or is it notably bad this season? lots of marquee players too. I actually think it's just you.

But like, I think it's the turf and met life could be a problem. But I think it's like this every year. And I think every year we're like, damn, so many guys are hurt. Like it's a brutal, brutal game. Next. Eclipse asked two-part question.

Is Zach Taylor on the hot seat or did he, or does he get a pass for the burrow injury? And what do you think about Tray Lance to the Vagels? I mentioned Trey Lance of the Bengals off the air yesterday. I do think the Bengals should trade for either Kirk Cousins or James Winston. And I would like, again, let's say that Lamar misses time and they do fall to one in five. And what we're talking about, the Steelers happens, you know, they, like that division, they're two and two. And Browning's just been brutal, just been brutal.
