Transcript of The Big Suey: Nick Wright's Highly Rated and Very Successful Television Show
The Dan Le Batard Show with StugotzWelcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast.
I'm sorry. I'm not going to apologize for that.
In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it.
And now, here's the marching band to nowhere, Fatface and the Pitchou a Liar. This episode of the Dan Lubbert's Art Show is presented by DraftKings. Draftkings, the Crown is yours.
Mike Ryan wasn't here yesterday. We'll get to nick Wright in a second. He's the host of What's Right with nick Wright and FS1's First Things First. He is the hottest thing in sports gasbagging these days. Mike, did you object to anything that I did or the show did yesterday when you were off? Because I suspect that you probably didn't like anything I had to say about the Chiefs.
Three things I took issue with. Tom braided, Conversation. I think there's more meat on that bone. We can revisit that later. The phrase, Rex Grossman dragged the bears to the Super Bowl was uttered yesterday, and Dan went unchecked when it was quite literally the other way around.
Totally fair.
Dan's obsession with calling Patrick Mahomes a dink and dunk quarterback, even invoking Baker Mayfield. When you look at yards per attempt, Patrick Mahomes has a better yards per attempt than Baker Mayfield. If there is one person in the NFL that I am sure of that wants to go deep ball hunting, it's Patrick Mahomes. And I think he will do that until we put dirt on his grave. He doesn't have two important receivers. That loss is entirely on Travis Kelsey. And another thing, stop looking at yards per attempt, especially two weeks into the season. You know who is last placed by a wide margin in the league in yards per attempt? At 4. 7? Kam Ward. What do you know about Kam Ward that suggests he is all of a sudden Alex Smith?
I'm looking at since Since Tyreek Hill left, Patrick Mahomes, I think, is 39 and 12, and average yard per attempt, the only one lower in the entire league over that stretch is Daniel Jones. Hold on.
Am I invited in?
And Daniel Jones, by the way, first in yards per attempt right now in the league. Welcome, nick.
Also, I am not going to allow what has happened to political discourse, happened to sports discourse.
At Fox, where you were, you're surrounded where you were.
Hey, My turn. Where we pretend things that we watched happen didn't happen. Dan, what happened the first year after Tyree kill left? Do you know? Or you two soaked in tequila. Patrick Mahomes, one league MVP, Super Bowl MVP. The Chiefs scored the most points in the League. The Chiefs had the most yards in the League. And if you look up on football reference, hey, what's the single season where a quarterback accounted for the most total yards? It's Patrick Mahomes' first year after Tyreek Hill. So I am not going to sit here on his 30th birthday, no less, and allow you to try to try to peddle this false narrative that since Tyreek left, the Chief's offense hasn't been the same. The first year after Tyreek with Juju Smith-Schuster, who wasn't good enough to be on the Patriots, and Mark Westvolt as Scantling, who's got cut from multiple teams, and Nicole Hardman, that team scored more points than anybody. Right now, they're stuck in the mud a bit after the disastrous season of last year, where all they did was reach their third straight Super Bowl, becoming the third team ever to do that. But we're not going to recreate history.
Hi. Thanks for having me on. And thanks to Hampton Farms for sending me all these sweet nuts.
What happened to political discourse?
I appreciate that. What did you say?
He said, What happened to political discourse?
Well, What happened to political discourse is we stopped arguing about what we should do about things, and we started arguing about what actually happened in the past, and it ruined everything. We used to agree that what had occurred, what the facts on the ground were, and then we disagreed about solutions or about root causes. But now every political discussion, you can't even get to the topic because we spend time arguing. It would be as if Every Jordan-Lebron debate, somebody came out and they were like, Well, how could Jordan be better? He only won four championships. And then someone's like, No, he won six. They're like, Actually, you're wrong. Fake news. And then we're just arguing about what happened. So sports, luckily, has avoided that. But I saw this slippery slope, Dan, you're trying to walk down with this, Patrick Mahomes' post-hyrie kill, how good is he? Patrick Mahomes' post-hyrie kill, won an MVP. Well, I already explained it.
I'm I'm going to give the same stat I gave yesterday. Sweet Christ. Since 2023, games with 320 plus passing yards. Patrick Mahomes has three. Jake Browning has three.
Well, and listen, that takes me aback a bit because I know, and I'm sure the shipping container does as well, that when we fell in love with sports and when we got into sports media, there were some some hallowed statistical markers, be it Hank Aaron's home run record before Bonds broke it, be it batting 400. And 320-yard passing games has just always been how I've weighed quarterbacks. All right, let It's not at all an arbitrary marking to fit your exact narrative.
Fine. Let me do it another way then. The first two weeks of the season, because you're talking about what Mahomes was after Hill left, and you're right, that one season. But that Chief's offense that was always going to score 30 is dead. And 2018 to 2022, his passing stats, nick, in the first two weeks of the season, 35 touch towns, zero interceptions. Hold on a second.
It's been different.
The last two years, nine touch downs, six interceptions. He's become a dink and dunk quarterback. There are reasons for that. I don't think it's his fault. I think it's a lot of offensive pieces he's missing. But you can't deny that that's not the same offense. You can't deny that.
I didn't deny that at all. I never denied that. What Patrick Mahomes, what you're saying he's become is what he's always been, which is I will be the perfect quarterback for the exact team I have. And when I walk into the league and we have the league's worst defense and we have the fastest and best receiver in the league, I will fire it downfield. And last year, or two years ago, when we have maybe the league's best defense, all I need to do is not screw it up. And last year, when they had an okay but not great defense, and they had the most injured receiving core and running back room and left tackle spot in football, I will do whatever it takes to make sure we are within reaching distance in the fourth quarter, when then I will go Superman mode. He is a chameleon to winning. Now, two weeks into the year, the Chiefs have not been good enough. The offense hasn't been good enough. Pat hasn't been good enough. The fact that right now he's on pace for a thousand yards rushing, which is horrifying. He is having to activate the Patrick Mahomes hero mode, scramble mode that he keeps saved for the playoffs early.
I'm not sitting here arguing that the Chiefs through two weeks look like a juggernaut, far from it. And I'm not sitting here arguing that there are not fair concerns two weeks in for the chiefs. And if someone wants to argue the concerns are deeper than get Rice and Xavier worthy back, that's totally fair. What I will not Abide is the revisionist history on who Patrick is and who he isn't. And that's not just because I was an invited guest to visit his new steakhouse in Kansas City Friday night, 1587 Prime. Everyone should check it out. It's really outstanding.
You don't have to abide those things. You can simply could see that the Chiefs over the last four years, have gone from being an elite offensive team to an elite defensive team.
And that- But it's just not... Hold on. Last year, they were not an elite defense. Last year, call Mina Kimes and have her tell you about DVOA or EPA or any of those fancy stats that you can't sort on ESPN, and you'll see they were roughly the 10th best defense. And last year, how did they go 17 and 2 in games Patrick played if we throw out the meaningless week 18 game? It was because he made every play when it mattered late. And I know the new age sports math is clutch doesn't exist. Actually, when you think about it, Lamar's career and Patrick's career are very similar. But in our bones, we know that's not true. And so it's just not accurate That last year, they were carried by the defense, not when he was the best fourth quarter, the best third down, and the best fourth down quarterback in the league. This year, the defense has been far better than the offense. Now, two games is two games, and there are things that go into it, but there's no defending what they've been this season. What is so irritating and what is so frustrating is we have done this now for four years, where there is...
And I'll try to be quick because I know we don't have as much time as we normally do. They get blasted in the Super Bowl by the Bucks, and we do the whole narrative of, Uh-oh, are the Chiefs in trouble. Nobody remembers this but me. They start the next year three and four, including a 27 to three loss to Ryan Tana Hill, and the Chiefs are dead, and they end up in overtime of the AFC champion relationship game, but they lose it, and they trade Tyree kill. And the narrative is, okay, now we're going to see what Patrick Mahomes is really made of. He has the year that I said where he wins League MVP, they win the Super Bowl, and everyone says, all right, we're done doubting Patrick Mahomes this year for real. But then the next year, they lose the opener to Detroit. They have all the drops. They have to go on the road in the playoffs. And people going into that postseason are like, you know what? The Cleveland Browns with that That defense might be scarier than the Chiefs. The Miami Dolphins might be able to go in there, go ahead and win.
They've never won a road playoff game. And then he beats Lamar, he beats Josh, he beats the Niners, and everyone swears, All right, this time, for real, we're serious. We're done. And then last year, they have the best record in football every single day of the season. And the narrative is, Yeah, but they don't make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And this is the Bills' year. And then once again, they play the AFC Championship game. He out plays Josh. He beats Josh. Josh has the ball in his hands with a chance to go win the game, get 17 yards. And everyone swears, we're done doubting him. He's proven it. And that lasted three games of football. And now we're back here. It's just I expect it. Honestly, the gist of this is I'm disappointed in you, Dan.
Yeah, but it's not the same offense, and I'm disappointed in you, too, because you did your quarterback tears on your podcast yesterday. And what you haven't admitted to everybody, you finally admitted it once on your podcast yesterday, you had Mahomes after Lamar Jackson on your quarterback tears. Even Patrick Mahomes, most fervent, biased supporter, downgraded Patrick Mahomes. You put Lamar ahead of him. Don't tell me you didn't. Did you or did you? Yes or no?
On my podcast? No, I did not. On my highly rated, very successful television show? Yes, I did. And that's where we do not our quarterback tears, but Mahomes Mountain trademark. Here and here is the thing. I have to be fair. I have to be honest. And I also, and what I took issue with was you calling me biased. I'm not biased on anything. I'm a truth teller, and I'll take the slings and arrows for it. What is also true is, as I mentioned here at the beginning of our interview, what is today? Patrick Mahomes' 30th birthday? What do you get the man who has everything? My answer was motivation. And I decided what better present to give Patrick Then when they play the Giants this week, and then who comes to town 10 days from now? Oh, is that Lamar Jackson? Is that the guy that all of a sudden I'm looking up at on the Holmes Mountain? Is that potentially, possibly, the thing the Chiefs need to snap out of their funk? Maybe. Also, Lamar has been great. And nobody's ever doubted that Lamar is an all-time great regular-season quarterback. Nobody's ever doubted that, and he's earned it.
That's a great gift.
Put it on the poll at lebitard Show, Greater Truth Teller, nick Wright or Pablo Torre?
Oh, sweet Christ.
Do you put motivation in a box and wrap it? How do you present someone motivation?
Why does your hair look like Razor Ramones?
Oh, thanks. Hi, Mike. I missed you, buddy.
Present day Razor Ramones.
Yeah, I mean, is that... Is he Nash or Hall? I don't remember. I apologize. Did he pat?
Yeah, he did pat. That's why Billy did that. He did. That's why Billy did that.
He's a legend. Billy's mean name. I am going for that look, by the way. The The jewelry, the hair, all of it. It's a good look. He needs a tooth pick. Can I? Yeah, for sure. What was I going to say? Oh, yeah, Mike, by the way, team Baker. Let's go, buddy. He's streaking towards the one seed as predicted by me, the Super Bowl as predicted by me and maybe an MVP.
He was the best third-down quarterback last year. Not Patrick. He was the best third-down quarterback.
Tampa was. Nick Wright is always right about quarterbacks. He's always maintained his support for Baker Mayfield, and he does deserve to be in the MVP conversation. Continue. Nick, can you believe that Dan, as Patrick Mahomes, of all people, be the quarterback that's looking for the four-yard drag route as if he's not the guy that is always going to be looking for the deep shot? He's not looking for it.
He's just throwing that one. That's what he's throwing the last two years.
I mean, he made it to a Super Bowl, taking with the defense.
He's doing what he needs to do. Oh, wow. What a look. I like that. It's awesome. If I took my shirt off, it'd probably look the same. Do it. That's a good one. I was about to tell you guys something, and I forgot.
Pablo, Pablo.
No, it definitely was not about Pablo.
Motivation boxes.
The only thing I'm going to say, I don't want to do the Pablo thing. It's just him tweeting to Mark Cuban, Oh, you have time to tweet, but not have time to come on my podcast. That is fruit of the same poisonous tree as to why I'm banned from his podcast. And Pablo is doing great work here. But Pablo somehow got in his head said that everyone has some type of odd obligation to his podcast. Like Mark Cuban, you want to opine on this and you won't do it on my podcast where I make money, where my main How dare you? It's just that... A meaner person would call it entitlement. I wouldn't do that. It's just odd to me. I would never... Imagine if I texted you, Dan, after hearing your chief's nonsense yesterday, and I was like, How dare you talk about that not with me, not on my platform where I can monetize it? So that part to me is interesting, but he's doing a good job. This episode is supported by FX's The Lowdown, starring Ethan Hawk.

Don Levatard.
John Zaslow, How you love that catchphrase. Bad news for opposing teams in the Triple A.
Stugatz.
These are smiles till the bloods are clutch again, clutch again, clutch again.
This is the Dan Levatard show with the Stugats.
The work that Pablo Torre is doing is extraordinary. But the funny part of that particular exchange that did have some entitlement in it is that Mark Cuban is answering questions from Channing Fry and Kendrick Perkins about something that he doesn't have actual knowledge on instead of talking to the person who actually can rebut some of the things that he's saying.
Well, yeah, I understand that. But it's not a congressional subpoena. It's a podcast in Lower Manhattan. Like, I don't... You know, you're cubing can do whatever the hell he wants. It's a free form conversation. I don't know how much time we have. Can I say something about Tua? Have you guys talked about this?
Yeah, I got one more. Before you get into Tua, I got one more.
We have a total of four minutes left with you here, so Mike's got a question. No, we'll do Mike's question and then Tua.
Real quick, is Travis Kelsey... Is Travis Skelcey, is he skating on this? Because Patrick Mahomes probably beats the reigning Super Bowl champions without his two leading wide receiver. If Travis Kelsey just holds on to a shutdown pass and ended up turning into an interception, all right? He hurts Xavier worthy week one.
Travis had a rough start to the year. Listen, now, I am of the belief that Travis maybe was covering for Xavier because he said he ran the wrong route. Travis said Travis ran the wrong route, that he needed more depth. I think it's on the board that that could have been Xavier's screw up and he's covering for him, but I don't know. But that happens week one. The other thing that happens week one is when they're trying to come back late, he and Patrick have a bit of a miscommunication down by the goal line. And then obviously in week two, I agree with you, Mike. I think they win that game if he holds on to the ball. It's been a rough start to the year. I am going to give the greatest tight in in the history of the league some grace, and I think he will recover from it. But yeah, I mean, it's been, and Travis will be the first to tell you, it hasn't been a great start to the year for Travis Kelsi, despite the fact that he seems more agile and slimmer than last season.
He's also old, and there's a lot on that body.
Wedding planning is stressful as hell, too.
Well, when you say old, this is one of my favorite facts. He and Grank are the same age, like six months of each other. That's true. Grank retired for the first time six years ago. Grank retired six years ago and then retired again for good three years ago, and Travis is still out here churning out 1,000-yard or near 1,000-yard seasons. I would say, though- I can't say he's not good.
We'll get to two in a second. But to expect Travis, Kelsey, at what is it? '36, '35? '36. To expect a thousand-yard season from him at 36 would be to expect something from a 36-year-old tight-end that 36-year-old tight-ends historically simply can't do. He's done it, but not at 36.
No, that's correct. Last year, he had, I think, almost 900. The year before, he had 980. This year, he's actually on pace, yardage-wise, for a thousand. But agree, listen, he has broken all those types of tight-end records. I think Tony Gonzales is the only cold tight end to have really prolific seasons like that. But right now they need him, and they're going to need him until they get their guys back, and they're going to need to... When your guy's season fully goes to hell, you think we can trade for Achan? I'd like that. I'd like him. More than Hill?
You don't want Hill back?
Honest to God, only because I don't want to further your narrative. I would otherwise, but I You don't want 30-point games anymore because you don't want the 30-point offense anymore that's always going over 30 points.
That's not for you.
You'd rather win. In four years with Tyree Kill on this team, the Chiefs won one Super Bowl went to two. In three years without him, they went They went to three Super Bowl and won two. They've been just fine. And what they need right now is a running game, to be totally honest. But I know that's not all sexy for you.
You got Prashard Smith in there. You do have Achan. It's Prashard Smith, baby.
Jalen Wright's available.
You guys don't like Pacheco? We're done with Pacheco.
He's just a different backman. Pacheco broke his leg and had, sadly, hasn't been the same since then. Can I say my one, two take? Yes. He can't. He's got to stop doing press conferences, man. So bad. He's so bad at him consistently. And he can't be like, Listen, you can't say about the quarterback you're about to play, obviously, he runs it and throws it better than me.
I'm half the quarterback he is.
I'm not anything close. That guy, man, how much fun would it be to have a quarterback that good? Bro, you make almost as much money as him. You're in the same division. You can't say... You then have to at least add in, be like, But He can't do what I can do. But the problem is the answer, that's nothing. There's nothing to what can do that Josh can't do. So that's a bad press conference. It's a bad one.
Host of What's Right with nick Wright and FS1's First Things First. You can watch him, as I said, first things first, weekdays at 3: 00 PM Eastern on FS1. But I would recommend more strongly the podcast he does with his son, just because I love your father-son dynamic, and I love that you're showing that side of yourself to I appreciate that.
Listen, I learned from the best as far as bring your family into your sports media orbit. So I appreciate that. I would apologize for my tone at the beginning of this and for implying that you drank too much tequila and yelling at you. But I stand by every word.
Not an insult to tell me.
This is dumb. You said we were done with this, and I don't have the full screen up. But did you guys have this picture as a lower bottom corner thumbnail the whole time?
nick, we're out of time. I'm sorry. We're out of time. We'll see you soon.
It seems as though the Kansas City Chief's legacy is on the line headed into Sunday Night Football against the New York Giants, where you have a dink and dung quarterback such as Patrick Mahomes going up against a yards per attempt juggernaut in Russell Wilson just two weeks into the season. Great stat. Let me tell you about a great place to get tickets to watch this game between the new version of Alex Smith and the new version of Dan Marino. You got a game time. You download that app, you create an account, and you use a promo code, Dan, when you're looking for tickets. All right? What you see is what you pay. You get $20 off when you use that promo code, D-A-N, on your first purchase. You get zone deals. You get panoramic seat views. Trust me, I use game time all the time. It is the absolute best. Terms apply. Swipe, tap, ticket, go.
I'm going to betray nick Wright right now because of how we began that interview and read a text exchange that nick Wright and I had. I texted him simply last week, the word Pablo with an exclamation point. This was the day that he had the second Kawhi Leonard story, which I'm not going to assume is the last of the Kawhi Leonard stories. Nick's response to that was, What about him? I'm like, Well, he's unspooling seven-month investigations while you fart clicks. And his response was, counterpoint. I'm providing content that is helping provide ride hundreds of thousands, if not millions of sports fans, a fun respite in this interminable hellscape we currently live in, while he is getting applause from the absolute most boring people in the world about a story that even the most diehard NBA fans can only pretend to care about. Bonus counterpoint, my farted out Mahomes takes will result in the exact same number of real sanctions as his seven months of Kauai reporting, zero.
That part he's probably right about.
But it is good journalism, and I applaud him for it. He better get his tucks ready for the 2026 Peabodies. It's a real feud.
My favorite part was, Only the most boring people care about this.
Their feud is real. It is majestic, magisterial, Ray Hudson might say, which allows me to play a Ray Hudson clip today, like I will every day, until the World Cup. Wonderful predeter inside the box. What a boy! He did it again. And it's Bia!
Go! Messi's magic that is bringing the curtain up.
And it's Bia that's bringing the curtain down.
Real Madrid's defense, stretched out like spandex on Miami Beach, and Kacias is left naked. Again, it's the visionary genius of Lionel messy in the precise way of the pass that opens the white shirt up like a fresh fish.
Do you guys know that hockey, the Panthers are an exhibition game in four days?
Dan, I was sitting at the table before our pre-production meeting this morning. I'm on espn. Com. I want to check out what's going on in our world. And it says right there under My Favorite, that The Florida Panthers have a preseason game against the Predators on the date 9/21. I thought about it for a second. Hold on. Today, I believe it's 9/17, and I did some quick math. And it appears to me the Panthers have a preseason game in four days. We are so back. Oh, my God. Dan made me so happy.
Four days? Did you think that you had your months wrong and that it was nine and nine was next month?
I get confused sometimes. Is 9 September? Is 9 August? You can't tell me you always know immediately the number of the month.
What's the month you get most confused with the number?
Probably around August, September. I think that's the most confusing. August is at 9. Also, April is a little bit confusing to me, too.
I'm a little worried. I put the date down and I was like, Okay, 9 to 17. I don't know what's happening.
Why is April hard for you? I would have thought 7. I would have thought July. I would have thought something in the middle of June, July.
We all have our shortcomings.
December, Billy, is the hard one for you?
We never got to his steakhouse. He got invited to Patrick Mahomes' Steakhouse. Is it good? Is it bad? I saw he posted pictures and everything. 1587. Thanks to Patrick and Trav. Trav.
Don Levatard. Mike Ryan's in there, and he's the one with a baby. He's the one who's got to worry about what the future is. Mike Ryan bet on DraftKings because Mike Ryan bet on us. This is the bet you're afraid of doubling down on? Putting up a billboard in Edmonton?
Stugatz. I care more about Matthew Kitchuk than I do my daughter.
This is the Don Levatard show with the Stugatz.
The telephone number, if you want to make the boldest take better than the boldest takes have been, is 305-486-GOTS. 305-486-4689. Every time I play some of the calls, I'm reminded of how good our competitive creative community used to be competing with each other to have the best and the funiest of the takes. The boldest take has not quite lived up to what used to be our golden heyday. It's inconsistent, but very often it's strong. Chris, how do you feel about this particular batch of boldest takes?
Listeners, that's Dan's take. The shipping container appreciates the creativity you guys have shown recently in the boldest take Hotline, presented by Boost Mobile, the newest 5G network in the country.
Hello, it's me, Mario.
Mario Cristibal.
The U is back.
No, it's only been two games, but Indiana Jones for Daniel Jones is the second most perfect sports name behind AK-47. When they went from showing Marcus Freeman to showing Mike Elko in the pregame interviews, it was the biggest coaching looks discrepancy of all times.
Why do gas stations still have a credit card price, and for 10 cents less, you can pay cash? What are we, a bunch of Dan Lebitard dropping a Hyundai down at the counter to save 10 cents a gallon?
I was just wondering if anybody else has ever had any back problems after taking a huge dump.
It's not a debate.
The best celebration is the big balls dance.
Good ranch sauce needs to be drizzly, not thick and globby.
This most game broadcasting people just saying what you already thought just a second ago? My boldest take is that you should not be able in the NFL to put Junior on your jersey unless your father played in the NFL.
Stop acting like sideline reporters are real journalists.
They are reporters who have literally been sidelined.
You have a collect call from... You have a one Danny Woodhead here on the Patriots. But other than that, are the 49ers the greatest white football team there to play?
Runningback, quarterback, wide receiver, tight end, and pass rusher, all white?
To accept charges, please say yes or say no.
Is that guy in jail? Good take by him, though.
305 486 Gotts.
Could it have been a pay phone?
305 486 8, 9.
That's incredible. I didn't notice that. Since a great Monday night football race war of two years ago between the Niners and Ravens, the Niners have only gotten more white.
Billy has a football take that I haven't heard anyone else have, and he wants injuries more acknowledged during football instead of everything that's done during football to make sure that we skip right past the injuries.
Sort of. No, I was complaining that plays result in injuries. And if there's a flag, then the play doesn't count, but the injury still does count. I don't think that that's right. You can't just pretend that a play didn't happen, but then all of a sudden someone's out 6-8 months because they broke a collarbone or something. I feel like if an injury happens, play stands. Yeah. St stupid. What? Is that? You heard me. You're sick? Is it a little sniffle? What was that? No. What was that? That was a real word. Stay with your chest. No, that was a real word that came out of my mouth. What did you say? How about you admit that you heard it? I didn't I don't hear anything. I'm sure a little boy over there making some noise. Trying to cough and say something. Say it. I said something. You're playing dumb as if you didn't hear it. What did you say? Listen, I don't repeat myself. Five, four, three, two, one. Time out. You're in time out. That works with my daughter every time. You're in time out.
Does it work? The countdown?
Yeah. She's never tested you to get to the end of it.
It's just go up to your room and clean up.
You start slowing down the numbers. Clean up your room. You're still here.
Grace Lynn, five, four, and she starts moving.
One and a half.
One. I'll repeat it for him, even though he will not do it because you disrespected.
No, the time has passed. He already counted down.
He thought it was stupid what you suggested, which is a play should stand. I want to explore your idea, though. A broken collar. If you break your collarbone to make a catch, you can't have an offensive holding. I don't know how serious the injury has to be, but I do think there's a place where we have to allow for the play to stand because you can't cancel it based on some stupidity that happened 45 yards away.
Did you see Jaden reads IG live after he came out of the surgery? He was like, I never went in the Super Bowl.
Indiana Jones is a great name for Daniel Jones and his reinvention.
It's so early in the season. It's not going to last. Things are looking good, boys. I can't possibly, right? It just became like Steve Young all of a sudden.
Is it possible Daniel Jones continues to play really well? We're in week six, seven, eight. He's really good. Maybe he's even an MVP candidate, Tony. And as a result, Brian Dayball gets fired.
I think Dayball will be fired for whatever's happening in New York now.
But I like this.
The Giants end up having a decent season, but they're just like, no.
Because of that. Dayball did more with Daniel Jones than McDaniel did with two of them.
Look at what he's doing with Russell Wilson.
Yards per attempt monster.
I don't believe that Dayball did more than with Daniel Jones, even though he won a playoff game. That right there, he did more. No, but that's not a stat, man.
A playoff win is not a stat.
Not for just the quarterback.
Wait, yards per attempt is a stat, but playoff wins isn't. Okay.
Playoff win. Yes, yards per attempt from the person using the arm for yards per attempt. That's an isolated measurement. Playoff wins is not an isolated measurement.
Here's a stat. In that game, the Giants had a higher point differential than their opponent.
It's a good stat. It's a good one. You've brought me around now. I agree. I now lay my sword down at your feet and say, yes, Dayball did more with Daniel Jones because he won a playoff game with Daniel Jones.
Dolphins haven't done that in 25 years, so we're laughing at this.
This Dolphins fan pooh-poohing Brian Dayball winning a playoff game.
Playoff wins is not a quarterback stat.
But it's a coach stat.
It's not a quarterback stat, but it's a coach stat.
Brian Dable, one.
Mike McDaniel, zero. It becomes a playoff stat. It becomes a quarterback stat when the quarterback also plays well in that playoff victory, which Daniel Jones did. You can say Daniel Jones played really, really well as an underdog in the playoff.
It should be a quarterback stat in the playoff. I'm with you on regular season. In the playoff, quarterback stat wins. Different from the regular season because it means more.
You know who's second-alas in yards per attempt right now? Who? Joe Burrow. What about Joe Burrow tells you he's Alex Smith?
Well, that's not going to go up anytime soon.
Except for his inability to say healthy.
So all of you rather have Jalen Hertz and Patrick Mahomes because he won the last playoff.
I'm a Jalen Hertz guy, though. Jalen Hertz seems to be pretty good. I'd rather have Patrick Mahomes, though, because, again, to my last breath on this Earth, I will know that Patrick Mahomes looks to show off that deep-arm talent that is unparalleled, perhaps in the history of the game, First.
Tony, why are you shaking your head? No.
Because I agree with you, but it's a bad position for him to be in that everybody's like, Yeah, he wants to throw the ball deep.
Yeah, he does, but he doesn't. It was also the wrong question because if we were just saying that's a coach's stat, the question would be, do you want nick Siriani over Andy Reid?
But Andy Reid has more Super Bowl's.
And he's lovable. I do enjoy, though. He's got a dark side for sure.
No way.
I do enjoy. Well, his-What's his relationship with the devil?
He's like a coach I would look at and say, That's the one guy I know doesn't have a dark side.
Well, his family life is-We don't have to go there.
No, that's not what we're doing. No. We're just talking about the day or something. Go on.
He's jolly. Who are you telling to go on?
To To be determined.
What do you mean to be determined? You don't want Dan to go down this road.
What do you mean to be determined?
You might be new around these parts.
We were having fun. Man, we were having fun.
Yeah. Any time I think of Andy Reid, I think of... No, no, no.
Hamburgers, cheeseburgers. Go on. How about no? No, no. No.
No. No. No. No The guy going down the stairs.
How about the Tom braided thing? He looked funny in those headphones.
Is how much he enjoys Cheese Whizz. There we go. And says that he enjoys Cheese Whizz. You guys are doing the best, and I think it really is, my favorite of the football analysis, which is, guy who wins all the time, he's the best. Or guy-How do you do it?
Tell me how I'm stupid.
Tell me how I'm stupid for doing that.
Participation award over here. It's a good formula.
Tom braided won a lot. He seems pretty good.
There are a lot of ways to measure individual performance.
Rings.
You guys, when you're doing analysis of people, There is no insight in, They won, therefore, he's the best.
But Patrick Mahomes is the best and has been the best ever since Tom braided went away, and he also does the conventional winning. We were doing this last year when they had a point differential that liked the New York Giants. And what happened? Patrick Mahomes found a way. He makes the plays. He made the plays against Philadelphia. You can put that loss on literally anyone else on that roster, not Patrick Mahomes.
Well, what are you doing there? Because the other guys won. What are you doing there? If wins are the quarterback stat, what are you doing where Patrick Mahomes loses and he's not responsible for it?
I'm merely saying you're taking the strange position that the problem is Patrick Mahomes when it's very clearly not.
I'm not taking the position the problem is Patrick Mahomes. I'm saying that team's no longer what it was on offense.
I'm saying you did that last year and they made it to a Super Bowl, and I know that that quarterback can fix it if he has his full compliment of the receiver. But the offense is still not the same.
They can make it to the Super Bowl, but the offense isn't the same.
Let him get his receiver back.
Okay. We've been waiting for two years for that to happen. They've been literally gone for two years.
"I hope he has his tux ready for the 2026 Peabodies."
How did we let Dan get away with saying Rex Grossman dragged the 2006 Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl?
