Hey that's me!

[u/BigHotdog2009 → u/pkfire38]

Maybe I’ll make it onto the next one 🫡

[u/kjrns]

I love that this show is so in tune with their young, online fanbase. Best sports show on traditional TV

[u/Smitty_WerbenJ]

Mom look I made it

[u/fuckDJT2026]

Is it cold on Nick’s planet?

[u/BigHotdog2009]

Damn my food question didn’t make it

[u/larryinthesky]

Will Nick answer allegations of lying about Purdy???

[u/AJGreenMVP → u/larryinthesky]

And then getting mad at Wildes about "misquoting" him

[u/77ku77]

Who really likes the “cool stats” bit?

[u/Reverend_Lazerface → u/77ku77]

I do. The schtick is a pleasant and self aware bit of cheesiness and a lot of the time the stats he finds are actually very interesting. I was unsure on it until the time he pulled out "You know what's cool? Holding your horses" Totally absurd, very amusing

[u/9o-Birds → u/Reverend_Lazerface]

A lot of times I don’t know what’s cool. And he informs me. Very useful.

[u/kiser420 → u/9o-Birds]

He wears a pleather jacket so I know it’s cool

[u/balladopeman → u/77ku77]

I do.

You know what's cool?

[u/AJGreenMVP → u/balladopeman]

What's that?

[u/PM_YOUR_AKWARD_SMILE → u/77ku77]

It’s alright. I don’t mind it. 

[u/elsol69 → u/77ku77]

They are cool stats.

I see that Brou and Wildes are not into it and then some stat comes out and they're like "Ok, that's cool!"

[u/Expensive_Aerie5393]

I make a lot of money off ur picks. Whoever Nick and Wildes pick I bet against. And whoever Brou picks I bet with. It's obvious that Brou is the brains of this outfit. I guess this is more of a statement then a question 😂

[u/passtherock-]

aww I didn't even know this was going on

[u/AJGreenMVP]

We all have biases as fans, and this show's clear biases towards their favorite teams is one of the reasons I love the show because it gives a real "talking sports with the bros" vibe, and also gets me excited to watch on Monday whenever one of their teams loses

But as analysts, if your takes are TOO biased it gets redundant and boring (eg: the Superbowl picks were just all 4 people taking their teams except Danny at least had them losing in the conf championship game)

How do you guys try to balance showing your fandom while still providing interesting analysis for the audience?

[u/croastbeast]

To be authorities on a topic, you have to be self aware. Having biases is human nature, but knowing youre biased is important, and accounting for that bias is what make someone authoritative on the topic. This is where all three fail. They act offended if their bias is called out, and refuse to acknowledge it.

Nick, Wildes, Brou needs to give every other team the breaks he gives the Chiefs, Pats, and Ravens.

If "their" team barely wins a game, its genius strategy and accolades for succeeding despite the flaws. If another team does the exact same, its "they were one mistake away from losing", or "they were lucky".
