NFL Preseason Reaction: Watson STARTING for Browns, Raiders & Falcons QB BATTLES + 49ers SCANDAL

**Damon Bruce** (0:03)
Wherever you are, no matter how you're watching, welcome to What's Wright? with Nick Wright. And no, I am not Nick Wright, and neither is my co-host. I'm Damon Bruce. He is Ty Butler, and we are thrilled to be back with you for another week here. It is episode number 494, brought to you by Boost Mobile. Ty, we didn't break the show last week. Let's try not to break it this week either. How are you, man?

**Ty Butler** (0:26)
Well, speaking of which, I have to get in front of the story, because there is a case to be made, Damon, that I should not have been invited back to co-host this show with you this week, because of something that was very troubling that took place this weekend, and no, not at a trailer park for your boy.

**Damon Bruce** (0:46)
Okay, good.

**Ty Butler** (0:47)
But I did participate in a charity softball game with ESPN New York. Shout out to Don LaGreca for putting it on every year. And your boy, Ty Butler, in a slow pitch softball game, somehow struck out.
How does that happen? How am I allowed to break down the NFL, to talk about college football? How am I allowed to do that with you today, three days off of striking out in a slow pitch softball game? Which gives credence to all of the athletes who are like, you never played, so what the hell are you talking about? People showed up, and that's what I did, man. I'm embarrassed, and I'm sorry on behalf of my family, who I embarrassed this weekend.

**Damon Bruce** (1:37)
Was the pitch at least on the black? I mean, were you just, were you looking to actually draw a walk in a slow pitch softball game?

**Ty Butler** (1:46)
No, so I popped out in my first at bat, and now I'm feeling like, because you know, I got the gun showing. I'm like, I want to go yard. We've seen a couple homeruns hit, I fit a little FOMO, and so I'm swinging, like I'm Aaron Judge, strike one, strike two, and then the reality sets in, oh, it's very possible you might strike out. And instead of like shortening the swing, you know, gripping the bat a different way, swung for defenses, and no, I did not catch defenses. I got sent back to the dugout with a strike three, and it's awful, man. So I'm sorry.

**Damon Bruce** (2:27)
Well, you know, it's like you're, just say you're doing an Aaron Judge in the postseason impression, I guess. You could go with that, right?

**Ty Butler** (2:33)
Well, he hit 500 in the postseason last year, so that joke doesn't work right now.

**Damon Bruce** (2:38)
Historically, it works.
I'll just say this. My dad used to say it takes a real man to walk a poodle. It takes a real man to admit that he struck out in a slow pitch softball game. So I will salute the honesty, and I will mock the clear lack of athleticism.
And I feel that we can move on. I'm glad you think that it might be a disqualifying act, but luckily, we're just here to talk about sports, not play sports, and you're pretty good at that. So I think we'll be able to get through this one. What we will not be talking about, though, today, straight to voicemail. Oh, my goodness, we got a Norwegian getting a haircut. Seriously, is this still like, is it World Cup? Do we have to follow this guy in his, I mean, he's picking up taxidermied raccoons, and he's getting haircuts. It's over. Like, the rowboat thing was cool. Congratulations. I feel his 15 minutes are up, right?

**Ty Butler** (3:32)
I think the haircut actually looks terrible, if I'm being honest. And so with all due respect to him, I think he should have stayed with the long hair.

**Damon Bruce** (3:40)
You just entered the world stage. Don't remove one of your defining features the minute that you get here, for goodness sake.

**Ty Butler** (3:46)
Anthony Dave is shaving his unibrow. It would be ridiculous to do that.

**Damon Bruce** (3:50)
Yeah, it's your calling card.
Straight to voicemail, brought to you by Boost Mobile. And how about the booty? By the way, booty is definitely an NFL story from over the weekend, but not this one. This is a good booty story. There's a bad booty story that we'll get into. But the Patriots making a move to the Houston Texans.
I always find it weird when a contender makes a trade with another team that I think fancies itself a contender. What do you think of that?
