What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to the Big Sui, 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.
What unique gifts did Nick Wright receive and how did he react?
That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. Grateful for Nick Wright's time. He's very busy. He's got a very popular television show. And what is he smiling about?
Because you're just always the intros are always so kind. And then I leave the interview, you know, usually mad at you. And so it's just a nice emotional roller coaster. But thank you for having me on, Dan. Happy New Year. I just got some chocolates from you guys and a hammer. I literally just got it this morning. It was a New Year's present. It's January 14th, but I appreciate it all the same. Thank you.
Let's speed him up. I want to get as much sports stuff from him because it's going crazy out there, and he's the best going right now at Sports Opinion. Let's begin with the legacy of Aaron Rodgers. Tom Brady has won a playoff game more recently than Aaron Rodgers.
Yeah, listen, I think that when you are one of the four most talented players in the history of your position and you end up, you know, around, I don't know, the ninth or tenth best player in the history of your position, it is a compliment to say you underachieved. And I think you saw on the back, during his final, what is likely his final game in the NFL, some of the stuff that made him not that guy in the biggest spots, where he was making it clear to the entire world, mistakes were made, but they were not my mistakes, wearing his disgust on his face, and also DK Metcalf drops a pass, so he ices him out of the game plan for a couple of hours. It's odd to be one of the 10 greatest players in the history of your sport at your position and still have underachieved, but I think that's what he did.
Is that quick enough? Yes, it's a good start. You want follow-ups?
It's a good start. No, I don't want. I want you to give me what you got, and I don't think I'm going to have very many follow-ups, but we want to bang through this as fast as we can here and give as much nutrients as we possibly can. So Mike Tomlin's career postseason record is 8-11, a 4-21 winning percentage. It's 23 out of 25 coaches with at least 15 playoff games. Since 2011, he's 3-10 in the playoffs, and he's lost to Tebow and Blake Bortles. Tomlin, give me what you got.
I would analogize it to if a bunch of people like left your show and then like you had a big coaching tree and then they all failed and then it was people were like sad and levitard. What's he doing? When in reality, it's a compliment. It's they only got that platform because of the high tide raising boats. I I think Mike Tomlin got, and I don't know, can you buy Emmys on eBay now? I think they got... to the playoffs with less than playoff caliber teams because of Tomlin's inherent excellence at getting the most juice from the squeeze. And then once the playoffs begun and you played actual good teams, they got clocked repeatedly. With that said, he's not blameless because I do think over the last half decade, the priority shifted
from winning Super Bowl VII to guaranteeing you had the best chance to not be below 500. In 2019, at the tail end of Big Ben, he got hurt three games into the year, their 0-3, and they trade a first-round pick for who? Miami's Minka Fitzpatrick. That year, not only was Burrow and Herbert at the top of the draft, but Jordan... We've lost your audio, Nick.
We've lost your audio there.
It would never happen to me.
I blame Jeremy.
That couldn't be me. That has to be on your guys' end. Okay, we like accountability. Do you guys have me? You're back.
We just lost the last couple of sentences of what you said.
Very quickly, sorry, don't count this against my time. 2019...
