Nick Wright’s Comp

I listen to probably too much sports talk content, I was originally a huge Colin Cowherd fan, but after discovering First Things First I slowly started spending more and more time listening to them

And last year I became a daily listener to First Things First, especially because of Nick. I thought he was a super good analyst who also was entertaining, enjoyed his podcast too

This year, it kinda felt like that shifted. I found myself starting to skip over segments they’d talk about the chiefs because Nick leans so hard into the character of “Well the Chiefs can’t be beat, it’s impossible” literally said this team was the greatest team ever assembled,

And it just got stale to me. If your stance is the chiefs are unbeatable and are invincible, then what’s the point of having the discussion? I know exactly what he’s going to say the moment Kevin says the topic.

When I first started listening to Nick, I thought he was going to be the next Colin Cowherd, but now, it feels like he’s becoming the next Skip Bayless (a huge homer for his team, outrageous takes like predicting Caleb Williams is going to the Super Bowl)

And I’m just curious, is it just me? Am I a bitter lions fan who can’t enjoy watching yet another dynasty in my lifetime when my team can’t even make it to the big game?

Or do others feel the same?

(Also i get uncomfortable when he name drops Mina Kimes as his “rival” when she never does anything like that to him, it’s super one-sided and honestly kind of weird)
