First Things First Crew Don’t Think Nick Wright’s NFL Megatrade Is Crazy
Wright predicted a lopsided Super Bowl that didn’t go in his favor. Now, Mr. Wrong has proposed an unfathomable trade between the Seahawks, 49ers, Texans, and Jets.

Fox Sports 1 studio host, Nick Wrong – errr – Nick Wright, excuse me, has proposed an utterly ludicrous NFL four-team trade proposal
Thank you, Dan Patrick.
When you predict that the Chiefs will win by two scores and they end up losing by 22 points, you earn the name Richard Dick Wrong 😂😂 Thanks for being a good sport @GetNickWright.

Wright predicted a lopsided Super Bowl that didn’t go in his favor. Now, Mr. Wrong has proposed an implausible trade between the Seahawks, 49ers, Texans, and Jets.
.@getnickwright has created what he considers his masterpiece — a 4-team NFL Super Trade:

Seahawks get: Jimmy G, Nick Bosa, 23rd pick & '22 1st Rd pick (SF)
49ers get: Deshaun Watson
Texans get: 2nd, 12th, 34th picks, '22 1st Rd pick (NYJ) & Sam Darnold
Jets get: Russell Wilson pic.twitter.com/Ug4YTwEB1E
I am curious as to what the FOX Sports interns sprinkle into the coffee for their on-air personality’s that leads to these hot takes.
Sports fans live in an instantaneous, social media world where they constantly crave blockbuster player trades that seem reminiscent of video games. With that said, maybe we shouldn’t be surprised if Wright’s prediction comes true. His First Things First colleagues seemed to acknowledge that it is a deal that is advantageous for all of the teams involved.
It will be interesting to see if a cable sports network talking head can speak a deal into existence. As you look at the tweet above, it is clear that the Seahawks would be the major hurdle to clear as losing Russell Wilson and replacing him with Jimmy Garoppolo would likely drop them out of the realm of championship contenders.

Joe Buck: ESPN Is Letting Us Set Tone For Monday Night Football
“It wasn’t well, you are at ESPN, you have to figure out how we do it.”

While Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be calling football games on Monday nights for ESPN instead of Sunday afternoons for FOX this year, fans shouldn’t expect the broadcasts to be that much different, if at all, than what they’ve been used to over the last 20 years.
Buck was recently a guest on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast and said that ESPN knows that he and Aikman have to be comfortable in order for Monday Night Football to be a success.
“I know we are in the honeymoon phase. I’m not dumb. That stuff wears off after a while. They are like ‘however you guys have always done a game, that’s the way we want you to do a game whether it’s with regard to meetings vs. conference calls or when you guys show up, how you like the booth set up. However you want it, we are going to do it your way’ and that’s to their credit. It wasn’t well, you are at ESPN, you have to figure out how we do it.”
Buck and Aikman are obviously already very familiar with each other. Buck said that it will be important not to take that for granted or second guess what they already know.
“I think the one thing Troy and I have to avoid is trying to be different than we’ve been. They hired us based on what we’ve done and who we are and how we relate to each other and the way we see a game,” said Buck.

Joe Buck Says He Won’t Miss World Series
“This is the first time since I was 18-years-old, and I’m 53, that I’m not doing a baseball game.”

Among the bigger chain reactions set off by Joe Buck leaving FOX for ESPN was the sudden vacancy in FOX’s main MLB broadcast booth.
The 2022 World Series will mark the first time since 1995 that Buck will not be on the microphone.
Speaking to Chris Long on his podcast Green Light, Buck hopes to be in a more exotic location watching World Series games this fall.
“I would like to be in Cabo San Lucas with a margarita in my hand and a half-smoked cigar watching Game 7 of the World Series,” Buck said. “Cheering on Joe Davis and John Smoltz, and Ken Rosenthal, and Tom Verducci, and Pete Macheska and Matt Gangl and right on down the line.”
Buck added he’ll take pleasure in turning the broadcast off if it’s Game 7 and there’s an insurmountable lead. But the broadcasting legend said even on a bigger scale, not calling any baseball games at all this season, let alone the World Series, is a bit surreal after covering the sport for so long.
“This is the first time since I was 18-years-old, and I’m 53, that I’m not doing a baseball game,” he said. “And that’s really weird to me, but I walk away really proud of what I and we did.”
He added that he will not miss the opportunity, because he does not feel like he will “leave any unfinished business” in FOX’s MLB booth.
Buck further praised his FOX colleagues and said it was time for a change. He knows Joe Davis will thrive in the opportunity.
