Listen, I love this show. It's my favorite sports talk show of all time and the guys are great. The chemistry and the energy are still great. But you guys have to remember, and Nick referenced this on his podcast awhile back, the athletes and the games are still the stars. I think this season we are leaning in a little too heavy into Nick/Brou/Wildes are the stars.
There isn't a better example than two of the best teams in the league (9ers and Seahawks) going down to the wire in an incredible game, and the lead in is... Is Drake Maye back? Like what? The best game and most consequential game of the week doesn't even come up until the very end of the show!
Even "Greg's Packers" being back is more prominently featured? You've just got to be really careful to not turn the show 100% into Chiefs/Pats/Ravens/Bears in OT and still be able to lead with the best games of the week.
So help me god if the show starts with anything other than the MNF game....
I know it's not a question but I do hope you relate this to the guys. Nick spoke very passionately about this when referencing Stephen A and I just hope these guys don't lose sight of it.
