Is that bet still on?

I think the bet is still on, for his side of the bet.

 

If the Bills win, weather will be the excuse Bucky uses.

Help me on this bet.

 

Was the bet if the Bills lose first playoff then Cowherd gets the ketchup/mustard.  For Nick Wright to lose the Bills have to win two playoff games, is that correct.

 

So right now if I cam right as above, Cowherd cant lose but Wright could still lose if Bills win vs Ravens.  If the Ravens win then the bet is a wash.

This was the original bet, yes.  But before the Colt game, Wright gave Cowherd the out for Colin's birthday which I think was that day.  So in essence, there was no risk to Colin.  Wright still is committed to the condiment bath if the Bills win on Saturday.  But as I've said before, I don't think the Bills should in any way do anything to acknowledge Wright and this bet.  Wright can do it on his own time, in his own studio and in any way he chooses.

Cowherd was a fool to accept the bet, (assuming it all just wasnt for obvious hype).  For Cowherd to win, the  Bills have to win 2 games, straight up odds of that are 25%............ whereas that blowhard Wright only has the Bills lose one game, or 50%.

I agree 100%.  I also hope J Allen never addresses this arseclown, he gets way too much attention from the Bills mafia for his contrived hate of J Allen..  I would hope Allen listens to that last Cole Beasely interview which was fantastic.  Beasley said the best thing he did was stop monitoring the social media.

Not really, because as long as the Bills won at least one game, nothing bad would happen to Cowherd. So it was a 50/50 chance he had on wether or not he would have to get sprayed with condiments. I'm not sure he cares if the Bills lose this week and it's a wash.

Again assuming this wasnt all a PR stunt, I dont know about you but I dont enter bets if I have a 50% chance of losing but only a 25% chance of winning.

That's right, and he's hoping the Bills win so he gets the publicity from getting doused with ketchup/mustard in hopes that he'll get a raise.

He wins either way, cause it's all about the publicity.

I understand it isnt about money, it is supposedly about honor if you win or humiliation if you lose.

 

If they really dont care at all about the consequences then there was no purpose to the bet, beyond the publicity of us babbling about it....what now 17 pages long thread..

[Coffeesforclosers]

His on air persona is meant entirely for attention.  For all we know his man cave is a shrine to the Bills.  But before he punches in, he trims his neckbeard, puts on his European Graduate Student costume, and makes his money trolling all day.

I do not think for one second that McDermott is a racist or prejudice in his treatment of players, or any people. BUT, the Peterman experiment in LA that day was by far—nothing else even close—the dumbest coaching decision he has made in his 4 year stint with the Bills. 

We still don’t know why. It made no sense then, and still doesn’t now. And unfortunately, while I don’t believe it, it gives fodder for this type of perspective if one wants to take it.
 

Fortunately for him, that decision has not come to define his time with the Bills. His belief in Josh Allen has proven to be much better placed than Nate Peterman.

McDermott took a chance because we could not move the ball in the air with Tyrod.  Inside the pocket, he was one of the worst.  We weren’t scoring points and were a one dimensional offense.  The Ravens are one dimensional too but Lamar is on another level running than Tyrod.

 

His decision ended up back firing because Peterman was a disaster.  
 

We weren’t going anywhere with Tyrod so it does make sense to me.

Tyrod wasn't even on the team anymore at that time. Right? I'm pretty sure he was traded in that off-season before. It made sense to tank. Allen wasn't going to be mentored by Tyrod. Two completely different players. And maybe McD didn't want him to learn from tyrod with how cautious with the ball he was. Unfair to indict McD in any way on this one imo.

Yeah, TT was traded prior to the 2018 draft.  But it doesn't matter in the eyes of some since he replaced TT and thus gets the ire.

In fact, it’s not a bet at all! It’s a PLAY. He can’t lose! Nick Wright has gotten more publicity from this than almost anything he could have done that excluded farm animals.

 

It’s a game, and everyone is playing along with him and falling for it. Cowherd is his buddy (and mentor) and is playing along. 

 

The only bad publicity is NO publicity. He’s winning, and I’m just laughing at the whole scene. How many more people have now heard of Nick Wright?

 

  It doesn’t bother me in the least. Chill, folks, it’s a game and he’s winning if you get worked up one way or the other. I find it amusing, personally. Take it in context and maybe you will too. It’s just  theater.

You can tell Nick is starting to get nervous about being "Pinto Ron'd"

Nick Wright won't be able to deflect that Pinto Ron treatment like he does the Bills' performances

What do you mean we don’t know why?  Tyrod had been terrible for 3 straight games and he was looking for a spark.  Was the offensive doldrums caused by Tyrod or the team?

 

It made perfect sense to bench Tyrod and made perfect sense to go back to him when Peterman blew.

 

Tyrod was a back-up in Baltimore - not because of his color, but his play.  He was a starter in Buffalo not because of his color, but he was the best of a terrible QB room.  He got benched not because of color, but because of poor play.

 

The Bills moved on and traded him to Cleveland not because of Color, but his play.

 

Cleveland benched him in game 1 and never game him another chance due to his play.

 

Anthony Lynn in SD left him as a back-up and finally started him after Rivers left, but he was again a poor starting QB.  Injuries allowed them to bench him and never look back.

 

Color is not Tyrod’s issue - it is his play and always has been.

[Billl]

Nick Wright is honestly one of the best sports personalities in the business.  His schtik is entirely tongue in cheek, but he commits to it for eternity.

Yeah. I think fans delude themselves a little bit. The decision to bench Tyrod was widely accepted. There were some who questioned it for sure, but there were tons of people who agreed with it and tons, including local and national media people, who predicted that Peterman would perform better.

 

Tyrod threw for less than 100 yards in multiple games that year. And his rushing ability was pedestrian. He was doing literally nothing to help the offense. People view the move with the benefit of hindsight, as if they should have somehow known that Peterman, the practice champion, would throw three interceptions.

 

The one to blame is Peterman. He had opportunities and squandered them every time. Much like Tyrod has had multiple opportunities across multiple franchises and squandered them all.

Yes it is a shtick and he sticks to it for attention, period.  Saying it is tongue in cheek implies he knows better, maybe by now reality has set in and he realizes it but he initial josh Allen and Bills bashing wasnt tongue in cheek, it was simply flat out wrong.

I'll say it right now -- I was disgusted with how Tyrod had been playing, and I flew up to Buffalo and sat in the stands for that horrid New Orleans game the week before Taylor was benched.  McD was mad, and rightfully so.

 

To his credit, McD corrected the mistake immediately and made sure he didn't lose the locker room -- and the Bills went on to finish strong and reach the playoffs.

Well yeah.  He was absolutely wrong.  His schtick is that he leans into his incorrect opinions even after he’s been shown to be totally wrong.  He’s basically taking the piss out of himself by wearing his missed predictions.  Five years ago, he declared Tom Brady washed up.  He’s a regular on a radio show in Kansas City that isn’t sports related, but he talks sports and other things.  They’ve been on his ass for years about his Brady takes and he still swears that he was right then and that he’s still right.  Of course he knows he was wrong.  He just digs in because it’s funny.

 

I understand that he’s an acquired taste.  I hated his show when he got his start as a local sports guy back in the day, but he really grew on me.  He’s the guy who is a HUGE egomaniac but is also self aware enough to know that he’s full of ***** and can make himself the butt of jokes when his bad takes get shoved back in his face.

I actually agree with some if what he says about Josh too.  Mind you he only takes the negatives which is his shtick against allen but the things he says about allen are true.   It was only 10 points.  He did fumble again.  Not like he's making things up.  It gets fans worked up and that's why he only talks about that and not the big plays allen makes.

And that right there is the problem with journalism and analysts now. Gotta say the one thing that gets you clicks-you dont necessarily have to defend yourself, find the stats and plays that fit your narrative and stick to it. In this particular case, no mention of the elements and wind, no mention of him completing around 65% of his passes, just talks about the 200 yards passing and the fumble. 
 

Vick was terrible with his takes as well. He mentions Lamar’s receivers weren’t visible and he needs more help. They have used 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks on people to help him out-no one mentioned that. It’s all very lazy analysis on their parts to make sure they emphasize only what they want

 

People like this Nick Wright guy, Stephen A Smith, Skip Bayless have all shown you don’t get big gigs by being objective-it does make watching these things for more than a couple of minutes very hard to do

The one issue I had was that Josh did try and throw long, which you just couldn't in that wind.  

 

The second pass of the game told you that, as Allen could have run but threw it long and no chance for a reception.  

 

As for Wright, it get's old, but at least he was tough on Lamar after the game, and was (w)right....
