Chapter 2: How does Nick Wright feel about internet trolls?
Yeah, losers and whiners. Sorry, guys. I mean, and you said sad room. We're doing a renovation here, pal. I apologize. We're getting it all together. And I have to, you know, I'm trying to be ready for these media appearances, but I also, you know, work smarter, not harder. Do we want to fill up the wall when obviously in 10 days we're going to have more champs newspapers to hang?
So let's leave the space empty. Right. And so we can prepare for that. um so here's the deal uh everyone's been wrong i've been right and now they're whiny babies calling the manager saying it's unfair guys and they should be mortified and dan as someone who cares about the health of sports media you should carry this torch with me because we are all being led down this path once upon a time
We were the tastemakers. We dictated the conversation. Now disembodied fake people like Dov Kleiman and ML football dictate the conversation and lazy charlatans with seven figure jobs are like, well, the internet's talking about it. It must be the story. And it's
So instead of recognizing we are watching the greatest run by the greatest team in the greatest league in the history of professional football, we are talking about Cleet Blakeman. We are talking about, about Cleet. Will Anderson, we knew. Man, I'm old enough to remember crying about the refs after the game was loser behavior, not universally applauded. Someone finally said it.
And here's the other thing, you know, brought to you by our friends at DraftKings. Gambling's legal now, America. If the games are rigged, I hope you've made a fortune because all the idiots... This is their Twitter timeline. It's rigged for ratings. I'll never watch again. It's rigged for the Chiefs. Can't wait till the Eagles beat them. Those seem like contradictory thoughts to me.
I love your rage. I love your passion. I also find it really amusing that you would fight the Internet on sports debate has gotten
kind of cruel and we eviscerate people when they're the third best instead of the best and what you've got is the best and people are discrediting the best and the emotional fan in you is pissed off on behalf of this is the culture you created Nick I created you were in the middle of it and you're you're you're you're responsible for elevating the flames on this entire game oh okay nonsense so here's nonsense I listen
I don't, I, I'm not a crusher. I am an elevator. My, you said for years, what was the thing I was known for? I didn't say somebody sucked. I said, somebody's the greatest. My, my, my hottest take ever that I was known for is, uh, this guy's awesome.
Well, and somehow that was controversial. Do you know what, that is not doing it well no but do you know what that take is stu gotts because stu gotts would fall on the other side of this and i don't want to go down a rabbit hole here but nick wright thinks lebron james is better than michael jordan he's wrong i mean yeah okay yeah listen no i get it
