new FS1 show, "FIRST THINGS FIRST" w/ Nick Wright

[DaRock]

Knick wright was on first take wit steven A mad times and brousard

No Nick hasn't...his TV career started with Fox in 2016, First Take wasn't even Stephen A show like that because Skip was still the main guy for a good portion of 2016..why would a little known radio guy from KC be on First Take

Broussard left ESPN in 2016 as well..
You act as if Broussard left a year or so ago..it's coming up on 10 years

I don't remember Nick ever appearing on ESPN TV. He's been on podcasts but I'm not sure he's been on the episodes that aired on TV. He signed with FS1 from local KC media. Broussard definitely was on ESPN for a long time before coming to FS1. But, it's been awhile since he was on ESPN as well. Not sure about the other guy.

Yea it was right after him and skip split up and they was looking for his replacement. I thought he was gonna get the job but they gave it too Max.

they were never on ESPN..

• Brou was one of the top NBA analyst for decades there
  
  
• Wilds was there big-time producer pretty much ran ESPN2 with a bunch of shows like His & Hers with Jamel Hill / Michael Smith,, NBA countdown , the Jump with Rachel Nichols and Keith Olbermann, etc., etc.

 

[kingofnyc]

and I can’t ever recall seeing Nick on ESPN with that said his mentor and the person who basically put him on is Colin cowherd and we all know herd was one of the faces of ESPN for a long time

Not sure about the other guy.

Wildes was a producer on Sportsnation, The Jump, and Grantland for ESPN.

I was gonna predict before Mahomes got hurt that they would wear all black and Kevin Wildes would perform the Chiefs Eulogy with Nick being in the.coffin, Brou sitting teary eyed and those singers singing something. Lol

Say what you want about Nick Wright, but not many people(Maybe SAS) would come out and basically say that Harbaugh was the one behind the hit pieces on Lamar. He defended Lamar's response to being asked about whether or not Harbaugh should be bought back next year by saying those hit pieces are playing a part in his answer. Said Lamar is smart enough to know where it's coming from.

I listen/watch a few sports shows, most of them that covered that Lamar response didnt say shyt about the hit pieces being from Harbaugh. Rex Ryan bytch ass was kicking Lamar back in about the response.

Nick has never been on first take but made appearances on undisputed.

Nick telling the story of how he got started in the vid below:





Cliffs: He was never on ESPN. Says he was looking for a radio gig. ESPN/FS1 offered him radio jobs. ESPN came with possible once a week appearance on around the horn. He verbally accepted FS1 gig. ESPN came back and said they would offer more money and a slot of a big tv show(Most likely First Take) but he turned it down because he said he is a man of his word. He said he cried because he didnt take the ESPN job, said he had never been on tv before and it wouldve been a major look. He said it worked out in the end because 6 months later ESPN had major layoffs and he believes he wouldve been among them. He said around that time is when FS1 gave him FTF with Cris Carter.

At no point in Nick telling his story did he mention appearing on ESPN TV.

Nick goin off on his personal pod

"It wouldnt be that big of a deal if I didnt have to listen to people, the day after it happens, still say no one has ever played the position better. Are you fukking kidding me? "
"Take Mahomes out of it, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Tom Brady played the position better than Josh Allen "

Nick also called out the hypocrisy of the media in regards to the Lynn Jones situation and their reaction to josh. He said the same media people who said "journalists are suppose to be unbiased etc" are the same ones sending out tweets sayin "my heart hurts for Josh Allen".


This is why I say the Nick on FTF is just a character he has to get paid.

I think I realize why Nick and Danny are so close. Danny makes weird comments about gambling. Last week Wildes got something wrong when comparing a poker hand to football. Danny corrected him "I'm the gambling guy, I couldnt let you say that wrong". Earlier this week he made the comment "I've been gambling for 20 years." I bet they bonded over gambling and Danny helped/helps Nick with his gambling problem*.


*I'm assuming Nick has/had a gambling problem because it sounds like he was on some Sandler in Uncut Gems type shyt. He went to a casino to meet up with a bookie to pay a debt. While waiting for him to come, Nick almost lost all the money gambling, only to win it all back and then some. That's some addiction level shyt

I wouldn’t be shocked about the gambling bit, he alludes to it every now and then and seems very much plugged into that world

If I remember correctly Pablo Torre jokingly threatened to pull Nick’s files related to that

Nick and Sources seem to have good chemistry. I don't watch hot take shows but they seem like they are more grounded and reasonable than these other shows

 

[BBG]

Just casually called that man sources
