Bengals Come to Arrowhead, TNF Preview & Nick’s Picks | What's Wright?

[@ericharden6832]

Not gonna lie. Nick was talking to me during the police stuff. He’s completely right and i was looking at it completely wrong.

[@MayDay2304]

I was telling someone this the other day when you have all the power in a situation what you do with it matters officers should be held to a higher level

Nick is such a bright and eloquent individual! It would be wonderful if he could engage more in discussions about social issues.

[@georgeramirez5796]

​​Bravo on the Tyreek commentary. Just had this same argument with my wife last night -- as you pointed out, she was right.

[@gabdex83]

Nick's takes on the most important social issues are great and almost never wrong.

[@peterpiper5256]

When he talks about things unrelated to sports he comes across as very well informed and spoken. I love his sports takes an demeanor but outside of that his morale seems to be in order

[@fightercanada6468]

It’s because he’s very smart. Being very smart doesn’t = being right on sports matters. Now he’s right often on those, too. But, even the TOP football or sports analysts are wrong consistently. So it doesn’t surprise me ever. He’s also a free thinker and doesn’t gaf about public think.

[@lglg1039]

The bot comments Is too much . I love his sports take . Seems kinda left sometimes when politics involved. But for everything he say he has a great thought about it even if I don't agree.. VOTE TRUMP

[@Return2Father]

He’s leans left on everything

[@hippadactyl25]

Strongly disagree

[@scottriley9674]

Best analysis on the Tyreek police interaction I've heard. Bravo.

[@Dozav7]

His pointing out how a coffee barista is held to a higher standard was on point.

[@aneesabashir8496]

Nick nailed the Tyreek Hill segment. Very nuanced, which is incredibly rare. Good job

not rare here - Nick has always been spot on with his political takes

[@Kidkinsey]

So because Joe burrows defense is the Main reason they made the superbowl he’s just allowed to consistently play worse then Lamar and Josh Allen and not get as much slander? Cmon dawg lol

[@Jooch999]

Bro he had the worst oline in the league and got sacked 34 times in the playoffs and made the superbowl and offence played amazing under burrow he could get the ball off in 2 sec beore getting sacked

[@OscarUnrated]

Lamar’s defense plays great in the playoffs he just turns into Daniel Jones

[@Opalock13]

that was the best analysis on the tyreek incident

[@SWG_by_P93]

Agreed, he absolutely nailed it!

[@yeshuaisking1247]

Ofc because cops are the same as baristas, and crime is a conservative abstract fake news idea. People that agree with him don’t know what the real world is like for a cop.

[@rherd]

The main thing about nicks betting advice is, always ignore it if it includes the Eagles, Bengals, or Bears. Maybe the Jags too. His bias on these teams will lose you money. Bills and Dolphins a little iffy too.

[@Joes35]

Plenty of more teams than that. 49ers, cowboys, chiefs. Pretty much every team

[@NickHolasss]

he care too much about petty things that have nothing to do with football like "the eagles don't want to go to brazil" so he assumes they gone lose then they win and cover.

[@zaccbell2132]

Nick, I hope this reaches you to help combat any negativity. Really appreciate your discussion on the Hill situation. I disagree with some political takes, but your comments today have changed my opinion on this issue. I love all your content, thank you! Best

[@AlexandruMuntean89]

He literally defended Burrow. Wtf u talkin bout?

[@MayDay2304]

Nick agreed former officer here…my exact quote after video… when you have all the power what you do with it matters officers should be held to a higher level

[@Lemmholddat]

41:46 this has to be clipped up bc this is the best way to say it

[@KCocteau15]

The Bengals have taken a step back this season. Burrow and Chase’s health is in question, OLine problems are still a factor for them and defensive losses could make a real statement about their performance level.

[@KuRizMaivL]

Burrow is healthy

[@morganvanschuyver]

Their defense is compiled of 30 yr olds. We going to run Pop and Perrine straight down their throats

[@thatstheway2429]

Burrow is healthy he’s just overrated. He’s only good when he has two elite receivers.

[@boyangus3216]

Nick: !!!!!!!!!!!!! Damonza: .......... Having to crank up and down the volume here.

[@transer1337]

Nick just moves the needle depending on the team. If one of his teams plays bad, it’s just week one, if it’s a team that he’s against, they are who we thought they were and vice versa. Atlanta gets a pass for getting their teeth kicked in. Philly gets killed for winning a close game against a good team in bad field conditions in a foreign country.

[@chrisdragone9794]

Beene watching this pod for two years now and idk if I’ve seen anything better then a .500 week from his picks lol

[@jayhawkjumper1038]

Nick making the Caleb comparisons to those other HOF'ers is disingenuous because people aren't saying that game 1 was an indictment on his whole career. They're telling him to pump the brakes on this season because Nick has them IN THE SUPER BOWL. Here is how the first seasons played out for those QBs he mentioned: Elway: 47.5 comp%, 7 TD, 14 INT, 4-6 record Manning: 56.7 comp%, 26 TD, 28 INT, 3-13 record Aikman: 52.9 comp%, 9 TD, 18 INT, 0-11 record I think it’s fair to tell him to pump the brakes on Caleb.

[@jclark4088]

He's the most disingenuous character in all of sports media. Unsurprising

[@TylerHolt-n5q]

It's disingenuous to leave out the fact that he thinks they're good enough denfensively and have the weapons. He wouldn't have picked them if the team was bad and he made that clear, whether you agree or not.

[@jayhawkjumper1038]

@@TylerHolt-n5q Then why wasn’t he already awesome in game 1 with all that factored in? Because there are usually growing pains for a rookie in the NFL and Nick is so obsessed with Caleb that he seems to think there won’t be any for him. Find me a QB who had that poor of a first game as a rookie and then went on to have a great season that year, let alone make the Super Bowl. Again, not saying he won’t be a great QB but telling Nick to “pump the brakes” is more than fair.

[@TylerHolt-n5q]

@@jayhawkjumper1038 You're not understanding the logic, and your response just means you're a stat watcher. He thinks (and the proof is already there because of last game) that the Bears could win games even with a bad qb (duh they did last year). That means even with an average qb they will be a playoff team, and a SB contender if they have an above average qb. Nick thinks Caleb will be above average. It's that simple. Your defense or weapons don't make you awesome, they change your stats.

[@kaitlinkennedy2600]

Thank you for the Tyreek commentary . I was very saddened to see so much hate toward Tyreek , despite not liking him . The way he was treated was awful .

[@Dozav7]

Exactly. He made mistakes, but the police went way too far.

[@Redsweeper333]

I wish Nick would define "playing excellent" when it comes to Caleb Williams/Trevor Lawrence. But he won't so he has the freedom to move the goalpost in terms of defining what excellent means. Still love you Nick...

[@orange555]

Nick's comparison of Starbucks baristas to cops is terrible. Baristas aren't tasked with enforcing laws and keeping the public safe. There's no rational excuse for rolling up your tinted windows and ignoring police instructions. Those cops' response was bad, but Tyreek didn't handle it remotely well either.

I'm setting the over/under on Nick betting against the Eagles this season at 11.5.

[@thomasdascombe4939]

Nicks 3000% correct about the second part.

[@corey2232]

Josh Allen hasn't struggled in the playoffs like Dak Prescott though. The Bills have struggled to get over the hump, but Allen himself has historically great playoff numbers.

[@fy4b230]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Burrow get carried by his defense in both playoff runs? I think I remember him having a chance to win both the Suoer Bowl and AFC championship and choking. But I could be wrong on those ones because i don’t really pay attention to playoff games that my team isn’t in. I just have fun with friends and get drunk. I do remember him almost losing and should’ve lost to the Ravens led by Tyler Huntley at home. Only reason they won that game was because of his defense and Tyler Huntley going high, not low.

[@Kidkinsey]

Yes, his Super Bowl run his defense forced like 10 turnovers, it was far from a top 3 Qb carry job like the media tries to say

[@jaywood1313]

After the Baltimore lost to Oakland. Along with the one point game against Cincinnati I'm starting to question how good the Chiefs are really are.

[@Cooowop]

There’s no way he said eagles and falcons are same caliber teams lmao

[@drexeldragon1723]

Nick's gonna be totally insufferable tomorrow acting like he's a genius for picking the Falcons and he'll ignore the fact that Saquon dropping a gimmie pass blew the whole game. He'll act like the Eagles were a train wreck for the entire 60 minutes and downplay all the good they did. Remember when he said the tush push wouldn't work anymore? 3 for 3 and a TD. Hurts played really well all game but Nick will make it all about the pick at the end and he'll continue to rate Caleb and Trevor above him inexplicably. Too bad the Eagles couldn't get a clutch PI like the Chiefs always do on gotta-have-it drives.

[@BlindDoxie]

Bengals didn't take Patriots seriously and were looking ahead to to the Chiefs

[@ReformedJerry]

Bro every traffic stop, home call, etc etc could go bad as idiots have access to guns. The average person couldn’t handle being a police officer in America where everybody has a gun. Cops are rightfully always on edge and in my opinion have to have that stern mentality to be a cop

That barista analogy shows how little nick understand. How about calling tyreek out for speeding and wanting celebrity treatment and then playng victim and glorifying the arrest on the game. Great example for all young kids watching

[@Frankifacation]

You just missed the entire point of the segment. Like literally didn’t understand a single thing he said

[@digppa25]

@@Frankifacation there was nothing complex about what he said. The closest we got to codemning tyreek actions was "he said he could have handled it better". What part of that is false. Also do you understand why the barista analogy is stupid, do you understand that making an arrest on someone with tinted windows who is refusing to comply after reckless driving is a slightly different situation than buying a coffee?

[@corey2232]

11:17 - But aside from a single time 3 seasons ago, he hasn't. He didn't come through in the Super Bowl, despite multiple opportunities, so the only thing you can reference is the Chiefs playoff game 3 seasons ago. And don't bring up old regular season wins, nobody cares. Josh Allen has beat Mahomes in Arrowhead each of the last 3 seasons, but it doesn't matter since he hasn't done it in the playoffs. Even if you count more recent history, Burrow has lost to the Chiefs in the playoffs more recently than he has beaten them. So how far back are we supposed to go? We're now starting season number 4 since that singular playoff win. Perhaps it's time to move on from "oh he's just so clutch & always comes through!"

[@hippadactyl25]

Nick contradicts himself to a painful degree and justifies it with 'nuance'.. How can you 1. Acknowledge guns could be hiding behind a tinted window, while 2. Saying the cop should be ok with someone refusing to keep their window down upon request, dismissing it as the cop just being overtly aggressive. This wasn't Tyreek *only* being disrespectful. He was presenting himself as a potential threat by (rudely) refusing to keep his window down. Being rude certainly didn't help, but it's the lack of self-awareness from Tyreek (and you apparently) that this only escalated because the cop could/should reasonably be able to see inside the vehicle.

[@Popheavy]

[@JacobParsons-vu2gp]

Nick hates accounts based on aggregate engagement. Also Nick: - Bears are going to the super bowl - Places bears ahead of Philly and next to the Ravens in his tier list because they have a great defense but places the Patriots below the Bengals because…? - Placed Purdy and Goff on the same tier as Trevor Lawrence and Caleb Williams (93 yards) - Not Trevors fault he’s mid but now his coach’s fault (doesn’t say that about Jalen or anyone else) - Dogged Rodgers for all of his off season actions and now complains when others do the same during football season (which is actually relevant) … Yeah, no he’s not fishing for engagement.

Nick’s Caleb Williams predictions will not age well. These Caleb Williams takes will go down as his worst classic 3 takes ever. His Jokic takes were unbelievably bad, but he has gone above and beyond pronouncing his affection for Caleb. Caleb will be mid. Mark it down. Classic 2 (or 1?) by me

[@charleshankins3074]

Bad take man I usually like everything u have to say. But who made you the president of who can comment or not

[@Jidarious]

I think it should be okay for the barista to put you in a chokehold for acting like that, and I think a lot of people would agree with me. However, we can't allow it because we don't trust the barista to make that call, there are two sides to every story after all. I overlook it when cops do it because I trust the cops to know when to and when not to. Unfortunately, a lot of them have betrayed that trust and here we are.

Nick I love hearing you but ypur wrong on this the cop was just showing his power and wanted to "boy" tyreek...the cop had massive back up to be acting this "scared" and if cops feel afraid because civilians might have a gun how are we supposed to feel when we no for a fact cops walk up to our cars with guns 🤔

[@escobeast10]

I think Nick should apply the Police take to the Democratic Party They should not have the most amount of leeway while having the most amount of power

[@SilentSageUSA]

Nick is too predictable. All his picks are reflective of his desire to prove some of his FTF takes will be eventually proven right. Sorry, Caleb is mid, Patriots are not.
