Nick (Nick Wright) 0:00
Live from New York, it's a show that's trying to get Brew to frame some of his old New York Times articles.
Nick Wright 0:06
The Gray Lady. Yeah.
Nick (Nick Wright) 0:07
For a keepsake.
Nick Wright 0:09
Because the New York Times doesn't often, and maybe never now, since it doesn't have a sports section anymore, have sports on the front page of the main paper. I did the other day, woke up. I said doesn't often. I didn't say doesn't ever. Doesn't often. And so, Brew has some front page.
Chris Broussard 0:29
The next one.
Nick Wright 0:29
The next one. The Patrick Ewing. This is what I'm talking about, Brew. Just saying the World Cup and the Knicks. Two times. He can't let that. If that side of the table is going to be the spot.
Chris Broussard 0:39
This was the first time in 53 years they won.
Nick (Nick Wright) 0:41
Yeah. Yeah. U.S. Open.
Chris Broussard 0:44
I might have had the last front page Nick story.
Nick Wright 0:48
I'm just saying you had an amazing career. Thank you. Or having an amazing career. But an amazing career in print journalism.
Chris Broussard 0:55
You should have it printed. You hear that slip up? I'm a has-been. No, that's not what I mean.
Nick Wright 0:58
I'm a has-been. You're a has-been of print journalism. You're now rolling in on stretchers. First hour. You're singing on television.
Nick (Nick Wright) 1:08
Today, Jalen Hurts revealed on the NFL Top 100. Should he be happy with his spot?
Nick Wright 1:14
Also, we're having quarterback creep on this list. I put pen to paper. Too many quarterbacks are going to end up on this list.
Nick (Nick Wright) 1:21
When Bryce premiered at 97.
Nick Wright 1:24
And also, you're going to be stunned. There's three quarterbacks who haven't been listed who we now know won't be. There's going to be 18 quarterbacks on this list. Rodgers? Rodgers, Stroud, and Jaden. Not going to make it. Well, Jaden didn't play enough. That's fine, but there's 18 quarterbacks.
Nick (Nick Wright) 1:39
This is just the tease.
Nick Wright 1:41
They're going to be 18. Yeah, there's going to be 18.
Nick (Nick Wright) 1:45
One NBA Hall of Famer says Wemby is winning every award next year. Does Brew agree? And the latest accolade for Wemby. He got an accolade? He got another accolade yesterday.
Chris Broussard 1:57
He did?
Nick (Nick Wright) 1:57
Or actually today.
Chris Broussard 1:58
I saw him at the World Cup. They showed him at the World Cup. Did you see him?
Nick Wright 2:01
Yeah, he said he was rooting against both teams. What? Yeah, because he's French. He had a French jersey on. Yeah, he was like, I hate both of these teams. He thought France was going to be in that game. Exactly right.
Nick (Nick Wright) 2:12
And finally.
Nick Wright 2:12
He might not have taken that discount before if he had known he was going to buy a suite at the World Cup.
Nick (Nick Wright) 2:17
49 days until NFL kickoff. A special edition of NFL Tears. Yes. A lot of rumors going around you're going to be too tired to do this one, too, since we didn't do Mahomes Mountain yesterday.
Nick Wright 2:28
It wasn't because I was tired. I thought you said you were exhausted. No, that is not at all why I said I wasn't doing it. I didn't think it was topical or in the zeitgeist. I like to be ahead of the story, not behind the story. Everyone is doing quarterback lists right now. That's right. And so I didn't want to all of a sudden do Mahomes Mountain like we're trying to ride their way. That's exactly right. So it wasn't about tiredness. There's a lot of things you can throw my way. Dusty's saying tired. Dusty's incorrect.
Chris Broussard 2:56
Fatigue, would that make you feel? No. That sounds better.
Nick Wright 2:59
But none of it's accurate. I am into fatigable.
Nick (Nick Wright) 3:05
That's what they always say about me. In Kansas City, Sports Illustrated's Connor Orr listed 14 teams that can win the Super Bowl.
Nick Wright 3:14
They can. 14.
Nick (Nick Wright) 3:15
Just can.
Nick Wright 3:16
Just can.
Nick (Nick Wright) 3:16
Not on the list. Have a shot. The Arizona Cardinals. And the Kansas City Chiefs, amongst others. Almost everyone else on it. We'll focus on the Chiefs. Or explain that this was not a troll take. Sure it wasn't.
Chris Broussard 3:32
He really believes it.
Nick (Nick Wright) 3:33
And acknowledged Mahomes was excellent. Yeah, great. First or second best QB in the whole league. But here's his quote, I don't see how they, the Chiefs, can simply replace the losses of Jalen Watson and Trent McDuffie while also running back essentially the same version of the offensive line for another year, especially if the team's most significant offensive upgrade was at the running back position. I thought that was a good point. Yeah. A little shot.
Chris Broussard 3:59
I mean, I think it's an important position. I think it's risen in the last. I agree.
