If you’re going to be a bold, obvious fan in sports media, you’d better not miss on the biggest stage. Just ask Nick Wright.
The Fox Sports media personality doesn’t hide the fact his is a big-time fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, so Wright naturally predicted them to win their third straight Super Bowl title on Sunday − and felt confident it would happen. Of course, that wasn’t the case, as the Philadelphia Eagles convincingly took down Kansas City in a Super Bowl 59 rout in New Orleans.
So when it came time for Wright to appear on the FS1 show ‘First Thing First,’ he had to face the music. He wasn’t looking forward to his show with co-hosts Greg Jennings, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes, and it got brutal for the Kansas City supporter.
The show opened with some red banners, confetti and balloons launching, with Wright’s co-hosts operating the show under the assumption the Chiefs were going to get the three-peat and they ‘planned’ the show around the celebration.
‘We spent too much money,’ Wildes said.

That wasn’t all. Not only were segments focused on Wright’s disappointment, breakdancers and a marching band with a choir singing about how Tom Brady ‘is still the GOAT’ showed up to further mock Wright, who could only watch in agony.
Elite level trolling from the ‘First Things First’ crew on Wright, who took all the mockery like a champion.
