HomeskillitMoorman Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Just now, Logic said: It's really quite simple. Nick Wright is a carnival barker. An old timey wrestling heel, like Rowdy Roddy Piper or Ric Flair. He is PURPOSEFULLY playing the role of "antagonistic villain", because it gets viewership, clicks, and online engagement, which equals more money for Nick Wright and his employers. He is playing a persona. A character. He's like Skip Bayless or Stephen A Smith. If you've ever heard Nick Wright speak seriously on a topic, then you know that the "Nick Wright" you see on your screen every week is nothing more than a bit, a put-on, a ruse. His character loves the Chiefs and hates on the Bills. It works again and again and again, because Bills fans take the bait again and again and again. I stopped getting mad at him a long time ago because I recognized what he is and what he's doing. You should, too. All I can do now is stand and applaud him for being so good at what he does, which is to antagonize and troll people into continuing to engage with him and the programs he's featured on. I think he enjoys it on top of the clicks/money thing. That's probably what makes him more hateable to the people who get triggered by him. He's even more of a character than a guy like Stephen A though because you actually do have moments where Stephen A steps out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I've seen him in a different setting where he isn't "in character" and he appears to be an intelligent, well spoken guy. It's easy to see how he was able to work his way up through the ranks as a sports talker. Unfortunately, like all News and Sports TV, now that he's risen to his current station, he's got to put on a show and act the fool. I'm 100% certain that deep down, he respects the hell out of Josh Allen and the Bills (just like Mahomes, Kelce, Reid, et al do.), but he'll never admit it and ultimately, who cares either way.

stevestojan Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I get a kick out of him. He plays the villain perfectly. Including the long hair despite a hairline that is racing away from his eyebrows. Also, popular opinions don’t get clicks. He knows exactly what he’s doing and I give him credit for it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 It's really not all that complicated, he does it one because it generates content and views/clicks, and two because he's a Chiefs fan and the Bills and Chiefs have been going at it each other hard in the AFC for the last 4 years and his persona on that show is always as a Chiefs homer. Bengals, Ravens they've been up there but no team other than the Bills have as consistently been going at it with the Chiefs outside their division I'd bet. Hell last 3 years we've tagged them in the regular season. No way a Chiefs homer likes us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beebe Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 His job is to entertain and he must be fairly entertaining because the show is one of the very few success stories on that network - getting better ratings than every show on the network including Skip Bayless's Undisputed show. Getting great ratings while making Chiefs-Bills the center of the show's universe is pretty incredible given that most networks the last 20 years have spent all their time fixating on the Cowboys, Yankees and LeBron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 He is one of the main enablers of the “Josh Allen is bad” rhetoric .. I think he is smart though and doesn’t really believe it … It does benefit him crusading on this and getting clicks and winding up the Mafia… but it also does detract from JA’s standing in the game … which I think is unfortunate… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Everyone will agree on this I'm sure but he's actually pretty good when not talking about the Chiefs or Bills. I've agreed with a lot of his takes over the years and he can be funny. He's probably exactly who I'd be as a national figure if I grew up in Kansas City and felt the need to diminish anybody that would threaten my QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 It’s the old Skip Bayless LeBron playbook. Take a great player (in this case Josh Allen) and just ***** on him as being unable to “win the big one” and bask in “being correct” until the player likely wins a title then you can just drop it. Bayless from 2008-2012 was always ragging on LeBron for not being clutch and not winning a title. He just worked backwards from his conclusions until you get proven wrong and the player wins a title. It’s the same song and dance over and over again until a player wins a title he is unable to win one… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
