- 0:01Speaker 1: What's up, party people? Bueno, como estas?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mike and Bo.
- 0:09Speaker 1: This is my friend, Matt. You've got to give me
- 0:11Speaker 1: another hit of that good willy over there, Fit. You've
- 0:14Speaker 1: got to give me some of that willy.
- 0:16Speaker 2: This is my friend, T-Bone.
- 0:19Speaker 1: On this Tuesday, I'm a swinger. You guys are the best. Pony, pony, pony, pony.
- 0:25Speaker 1: You're the best. I love those guys. You see the
- 0:27Speaker 1: wrong dude naked, your appetite's gone. All right, one time
- 0:30Speaker 1: for the one time. You're listening to the Mack and
- 0:32Speaker 1: Bo Show on Mack and Bo Radio. Good morning, Charlotte.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Welcome aboard. It is Mac and Bone radio show time.
- 0:48Speaker 1: We're getting ready to do this thing on a Tuesday,
- 0:51Speaker 1: and we've got ourselves a Panther football game coming up
- 0:55Speaker 1: in five days. It is back to game week. We
- 0:58Speaker 1: will discuss it. We had another absolute memorable game last
- 1:03Speaker 1: night in the NFL. A classic and maybe a Super
- 1:07Speaker 1: Bowl preview. I'll become the one millionth person to say that.
- 1:09Speaker 1: We'll talk about that game here from the jump. We'll
- 1:13Speaker 1: talk about some actual good injury news coming off the
- 1:16Speaker 1: bye for your Carolina Panthers. Coach Canales had a presser
- 1:20Speaker 1: yesterday to talk about it. And they played a couple
- 1:23Speaker 1: of baseball games yesterday on my second TV with no audio.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't play it. On my TV. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:30Speaker 1: It was on my second TV with very little audio.
- 1:32Speaker 1: But anyway, we'll talk about that as well here on
- 1:35Speaker 1: the Mac and Bone Show. And the national pundits seem
- 1:39Speaker 1: to be saying the ACC is in big trouble when
- 1:43Speaker 1: it comes to having multiple playoff teams. But could little
- 1:47Speaker 1: old Wake Forest, little old Wake Forest, could they be
- 1:50Speaker 1: the hope? Or no. We'll talk about it here on
- 1:54Speaker 1: the Mac and Bone radio show. We got Adam Gold
- 1:57Speaker 1: joining us today to talk all about the Canes' five-game
- 2:01Speaker 1: win streak as they are rolling right now. And their
- 2:04Speaker 1: social media admin is mocking the entire city of Philadelphia.
- 2:08Speaker 1: They're feeling so good. We got Bone here. We got
- 2:12Speaker 1: Fitty here. We are ready to do this dang thing.
- 2:15Speaker 1: What's up, Boney? How you feeling?
- 2:16Speaker 3: What's up, Bronson Pinchot? You had that one up your
- 2:21Speaker 3: sleeve there. I thought you were done, Beau. No, one
- 2:24Speaker 3: more in the chamber. A little Balky in the chamber there.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Young kids are right now thinking, who the hell is
- 2:29Speaker 3: Bronson Pinchot? Well, he's one of the great comedic actors
- 2:32Speaker 3: of the late 80s.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Look it up, kids. Don't judge. Don't judge.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Simply look it up and marvel at the comedy stylings of...
- 2:38Speaker 3: Perfect strangers.
- 2:41Speaker 1: What was the character's name? Balky Bartokomis, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Bartokomis or Bartokomus? I don't know. I don't know. I
- 2:48Speaker 1: got you in the ballpark. Are you wearing your soccer
- 2:51Speaker 1: coaching jacket today? It's a little rain jacket we wear
- 2:53Speaker 1: when we get poured on while playing soccer.
- 2:55Speaker 3: I feel like you're dressed up a little bit today,
- 2:58Speaker 3: like coach-wise.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I just had to put something on, and yeah, Finnecom,
- 3:02Speaker 2: I guess y'all have never seen this before.
- 3:04Speaker 3: It's like being near the late Rick Majerus wearing his sweater,
- 3:08Speaker 3: or John Thompson with the towel on his shoulder, or
- 3:12Speaker 3: Wim Sanderson's old jacket for Alabama basketball.
- 3:14Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I guess I didn't realize that this would be such
- 3:17Speaker 1: a hit here today, but they, I don't get much
- 3:20Speaker 1: free stuff. I have like two free things and you're
- 3:22Speaker 1: seeing one of them right now. That's what they pay
- 3:25Speaker 1: me to coach out there. And you could argue I'm
- 3:26Speaker 1: still overpaid. Got to be honest with you.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I thought he looked good in the burgundy. I think
- 3:31Speaker 2: it really brings out his eyes. I think we need
- 3:34Speaker 2: to see more burgundy attire.
- 3:36Speaker 1: From the Mac man.
- 3:37Speaker 3: I just wanted to talk about him dressing like a coach.
- 3:39Speaker 3: You went deep into his eyes.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, Finney. Finney looks good today in his
- 3:44Speaker 1: usual Tar Heel blue. Finney wears Tar Heel blue bone 93%
- 3:48Speaker 1: of the time. Oh, yeah. We've studied that.
- 3:53Speaker 3: We have studied the wardrobe. Well, him and Flounder are
- 3:57Speaker 3: going to blue off. Who can wear the blue most
- 4:00Speaker 3: days in a row? Oh, that's what that is.
- 4:02Speaker 5: Okay.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. I didn't mean it that way.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that's what that is. No, I
- 4:05Speaker 1: didn't mean.
- 4:05Speaker 3: No, obviously, there's all the other... There's another blue off
- 4:09Speaker 3: going on, but that's not quite what I meant.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness. It's 6.04 in the morning, guys. Settle down.
- 4:14Speaker 2: All right.
- 4:14Speaker 1: The Rams were wearing a shade of blue last night.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I'll try to bring this back. First of all, a
- 4:19Speaker 1: couple of things. Allow me to do an old man,
- 4:24Speaker 1: early riser complaint here.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Uh-oh.
- 4:27Speaker 1: These games are so good, Bone, and they're on so late,
- 4:30Speaker 1: and they've gone to overtime, that I am definitely not
- 4:34Speaker 1: in a good sleep spot here. After Sunday night... But
- 4:38Speaker 1: that was worth it, Bone, to watch Atlanta botch that
- 4:41Speaker 1: game in overtime. Last night was a hell of a
- 4:45Speaker 1: game that saw the Bills win 37-34. This game really
- 4:48Speaker 1: heated up, Bone, in the fourth quarter. It was, I think,
- 4:50Speaker 1: let me do the math here. It was 19-14, Buffalo
- 4:51Speaker 1: entering the fourth quarter. The Rams then outscored Buffalo 20-15
- 5:06Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. 35 points in the fourth quarter alone.
- 5:09Speaker 1: I think at one point the teams had six straight
- 5:13Speaker 1: between the two of them touchdown drives. So Stafford and
- 5:17Speaker 1: Allen and the offense has really got it going late.
- 5:20Speaker 1: The Bills end up winning this thing in overtime, but
- 5:23Speaker 1: not until there were overtime gaffes. You had Buffalo, James
- 5:28Speaker 1: Cook fumble the ball in overtime, his second fumble of
- 5:31Speaker 1: the night. Then the Rams line up for a field goal,
- 5:35Speaker 1: and our boy, the thicker kicker, has his kick blocked,
- 5:40Speaker 1: a game-winning field goal attempt. And then Buffalo goes down
- 5:43Speaker 1: to the other end, hits a game winner to win 37-34.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Hell of a game last night, Bo.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Yeah, a classic game, I should say, that wasn't classically played.
- 5:55Speaker 3: There was a lot of miscues going on there. It
- 5:58Speaker 3: was tremendous theater. The thicker kicker in the special teams
- 6:01Speaker 3: unit just got... Absolutely torched after the game by Sean
- 6:04Speaker 3: McVay about how awful they were. They're a horrible special team.
- 6:08Speaker 3: They're the worst in the league. Couple missed field goals.
- 6:10Speaker 3: They had the 70-yard return to open the game on
- 6:14Speaker 3: Buffalo's sidematch. They win the game despite two turnovers, 13 penalties.
- 6:19Speaker 3: A missed PAT there, but when you have Josh Allen
- 6:21Speaker 3: on your side late, there's a great chance you can
- 6:23Speaker 3: overcome all that. And Sean McVay, Mac, is under immense
- 6:28Speaker 3: fire for the decision at the end to try to
- 6:31Speaker 3: go for the win at fourth and five instead of
- 6:34Speaker 3: going for it there. I actually thought they tied the
- 6:37Speaker 3: game at the end of regulation. Instead of going to overtime,
- 6:41Speaker 3: should they have gone full Will Stein and tried just
- 6:44Speaker 3: to go for two? I thought they might. That's what
- 6:46Speaker 3: I was wondering. You've got Williams. You've got Corb. You've
- 6:50Speaker 3: got this great offense. They're rolling.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Don't even let Josh Allen have a chance at overtime.
- 6:54Speaker 1: How long was the field goal they were attempting?
- 6:57Speaker 2: I need to look up the exact pieces. Like, now
- 6:59Speaker 2: we're mad that someone kicked a field goal?
- 7:01Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Where on Sunday we were mad, obviously mad at Dan
- 7:04Speaker 1: Quinn and Jaden Daniels because they never even got their
- 7:07Speaker 1: field goal attempt off. But, like, I thought the field
- 7:10Speaker 1: goal was the way to play that there. You just
- 7:12Speaker 1: got to have a special teams that can block it
- 7:14Speaker 1: up so that you don't get your field goal smacked
- 7:16Speaker 1: back in your face like you're Mutombo. You know? Like,
- 7:22Speaker 1: I don't really understand that whole thing. I saw it.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I saw. I guess McVay brought it up himself. Yeah, like,
- 7:29Speaker 1: shouldn't you be able to convert a 48-yarder in the
- 7:32Speaker 1: NFL in this day and age?
- 7:33Speaker 3: He did miss 50 earlier. This is two yards closer,
- 7:35Speaker 3: but yeah. I'm not I'm not a group. I'm just
- 7:38Speaker 3: saying that's what the discussions are.
- 7:40Speaker 1: But I think McVay brought it up himself to kind
- 7:42Speaker 1: of like maybe I should have tried to because what
- 7:45Speaker 1: they did is it wasn't one or fourth and two
- 7:47Speaker 1: was fourth and five. I think what McVay was admitting
- 7:50Speaker 1: was it was third and five and we just ran
- 7:52Speaker 1: it because we were going to kick a field goal.
- 7:54Speaker 1: And I think what McVay is admitting is maybe I
- 7:56Speaker 1: should have ran a different play and tried to look
- 7:58Speaker 1: more to get the first down. keep going but again
- 8:01Speaker 1: i would say this i feel like in this day
- 8:03Speaker 1: and age bone when kickers are hitting stuff from three
- 8:06Speaker 1: states over i feel like if you don't have a
- 8:08Speaker 1: kicker and a special teams and maybe that's part of
- 8:11Speaker 1: the problem maybe mcveigh now is acknowledging we don't have
- 8:13Speaker 1: a special teams we can trust but i would say
- 8:15Speaker 1: if you don't have a special teams you can trust
- 8:17Speaker 1: to hit a 48 yard field goal and execute it
- 8:19Speaker 1: without it getting blocked i would say you have a
- 8:21Speaker 1: serious problem on your team.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Think about all the money invested in this Rams team,
- 8:27Speaker 3: this super team, yet special teams let them down. They're
- 8:31Speaker 3: last in special teams. They sit here at two and
- 8:34Speaker 3: three so far on the season and have yet to
- 8:36Speaker 3: play Seattle either on their schedule. So not the start
- 8:40Speaker 3: we envisioned for the Rams. Nonetheless, though, a hell of
- 8:44Speaker 3: a football game we're staying up for.
- 8:46Speaker 1: It was great, man. Well, there was a scrap at
- 8:48Speaker 1: the end of it, too, live on SportsCenter.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Did you see that? Bradley Chubb got not punched in
- 8:54Speaker 3: the chubs, but Bradley Chubb got.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Punched in the face. Is it Alaric? Alaric. Alaric Jackson? Yes.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Who I guess they played together, right? Went up from
- 9:07Speaker 1: the Rams, went up to him and just popped him.
- 9:10Speaker 1: And Scott Van Pelt. is on his sports center afterwards.
- 9:15Speaker 1: They have live footage of it. And that was an
- 9:18Speaker 1: interesting moment post-game as well. You don't often, usually you
- 9:21Speaker 1: get bad beats. Not guys getting beat up with Scott
- 9:25Speaker 1: Van Pelt. Stanford Steve, that's a bad beat. He got
- 9:28Speaker 1: hit right in the face. Oh, man. So, anyway, classic
- 9:32Speaker 1: game last night. Bills 4-1, and you're right. It's a story.
- 9:35Speaker 1: The Super Team Rams, I'm using air quotes, are now
- 9:39Speaker 1: 2-3 out of the gate to start the season. Their schedule, though,
- 9:45Speaker 1: coming up, it's Arizona, the Raiders, the Chargers, Washington, Arizona. So,
- 9:50Speaker 1: you would think that the Rams are about to go
- 9:52Speaker 1: on a little bit of a heater here, get some wins. Definitely, yeah.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Definitely could get this thing going back in the right direction.
- 9:58Speaker 1: By the way, Josh Allen ran for... 121. James Cook,
- 10:01Speaker 1: although he did fumble twice, ran for 111. What a
- 10:04Speaker 1: combination in the running game for Buffalo yesterday. And by
- 10:09Speaker 1: the way, we've got to wait a couple of days,
- 10:11Speaker 1: but the next primetime, we're on a run here with
- 10:13Speaker 1: these primetime games, the next primetime game could be a classic, too.
- 10:16Speaker 1: You've got Denver-Seattle as the Thursday night game. That thing
- 10:20Speaker 1: is no joke, man.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Yeah, the primetime games, a lot of times in a
- 10:24Speaker 3: lot of years, I've... Made the sacrifice for some of
- 10:27Speaker 3: these games. Monday Night Football, do I need to stay up?
- 10:29Speaker 3: Sunday Night Football, I would like to stay up, but
- 10:32Speaker 3: I'm tired. I have been up for almost all these games.
- 10:35Speaker 3: They have been thrilling games.
- 10:37Speaker 1: It was good, man. It was good. We'll be at
- 10:40Speaker 1: Harris Casino watching Seattle-Denver. That's right, baby, in the Lavish Sportsbook.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Yeah, they got— we' ll get to restaurants yesterday, too, by the way.
- 10:47Speaker 3: They got— They got the sports book, but they got
- 10:49Speaker 3: sports bars.
- 10:50Speaker 1: How about this? There's a Gordon Ramsay, like, food court there.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Guy Fieri's got a restaurant there. Oh, my God. It's
- 10:56Speaker 1: my birthday.
- 10:57Speaker 3: We're going to be out, baby, on the town in
- 11:01Speaker 3: Harris on Thursday night.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Fitty, didn't you and KB get a bunch of, like,
- 11:05Speaker 1: $ 100 worth of grub each? Or something? What was the
- 11:08Speaker 1: deal there?
- 11:09Speaker 2: Yeah, we got $ 100 food vouchers and we went to
- 11:12Speaker 2: the food market. And we both were walking around with
- 11:15Speaker 2: boxes of food. Because the woman was helping that we
- 11:19Speaker 2: spent our entire voucher.
- 11:21Speaker 1: No, there you go. So she just kept telling us
- 11:22Speaker 1: to go back until we met the quote.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Well, don't worry about this show spending their voucher on
- 11:25Speaker 3: Thursday night.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I've got bad news. What's that? No voucher?
- 11:28Speaker 2: They have dropped the voucher down to 50 bucks now.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 11:31Speaker 2: They saw how much food they— They realized how ridiculous
- 11:33Speaker 2: it was? Yeah, they saw how much food me and
- 11:35Speaker 2: KB carried out of there.
- 11:36Speaker 1: They were like, hang on, we can't do that. You
- 11:38Speaker 1: ruined the voucher. You're a voucher vulture. Why am I
- 11:43Speaker 1: getting blamed?
- 11:44Speaker 2: KB was at this pastry place, and he had like
- 11:48Speaker 2: three bags of pastries.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking it home to my wife and my
- 11:52Speaker 1: kids are going to love me.
- 11:54Speaker 2: I just got some pizza. And some nachos and stuff.
- 11:57Speaker 2: So you're saying it was KB's fault. He said nachos
- 12:00Speaker 2: and stuff. I'm guessing you were an innocent bystander and
- 12:03Speaker 2: all this. I got some beef jerky and a couple
- 12:05Speaker 2: of Pepsi's for the road.
- 12:06Speaker 1: So anyway, yeah, we're doing our show for those— we hadn't
- 12:10Speaker 1: talked about it, I guess, in a minute here. We're
- 12:13Speaker 1: doing our show at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort, the sponsor
- 12:16Speaker 1: of our studio here on Friday. But because it's so
- 12:20Speaker 1: dang early— The game plan is to be there and
- 12:23Speaker 1: stay on Thursday night. So that's what's coming up later
- 12:26Speaker 1: this week.
- 12:26Speaker 3: I will be at Harris. I'll be at Harris with Tara.
- 12:31Speaker 3: She'll be with me. Murphy, though, as I mentioned last week,
- 12:33Speaker 3: he has opted to be at the pet resort because
- 12:36Speaker 3: he's owed a free turkey leg.
- 12:39Speaker 1: So he will not be with us. I'm sure he's opted.
- 12:42Speaker 1: I'm sure he made that decision.
- 12:43Speaker 3: Tara basically said he's got to go somewhere.
- 12:47Speaker 2: She wants to bone bear all to herself.
- 12:49Speaker 1: She doesn't want to be snuggling with the old Murph dog. No,
- 12:52Speaker 1: she doesn't want to be with Murphy by herself in
- 12:54Speaker 1: the hotel room.
- 12:55Speaker 2: What does a human have to do, Bone, to get
- 12:57Speaker 2: this turkey leg? Because I'm intrigued. If I could go
- 12:59Speaker 2: on all fours and bark.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Stay at a pet resort for three nights. Now that's
- 13:03Speaker 1: a video for WFNZ. Dropping Fitty off at Pet Paradise.
- 13:08Speaker 1: At Pet Care. pet daycare and being like straight face
- 13:12Speaker 1: serious like we want to drop a human off at
- 13:14Speaker 1: that that's a video uh that would do well yeah
- 13:17Speaker 1: make it make him run a lot let's talk panther
- 13:20Speaker 1: stuff here y'all let's talk panther stuff bryce young was
- 13:23Speaker 1: on the uh speaking of the game last night bryce
- 13:25Speaker 1: young was on the manning cast 23 minute conversation um
- 13:30Speaker 1: we will uh we will play a couple of the
- 13:31Speaker 1: highlights here coming up in a little bit so stay
- 13:34Speaker 1: tuned for that uh also want to point out that
- 13:38Speaker 1: uh turk wharton and Moten, both, their window to return
- 13:45Speaker 1: has been activated. So there's a chance, and we'll let
- 13:50Speaker 1: you hear what Dave Canales said specifically in a few
- 13:53Speaker 1: minutes here, but... If not this week, Bone, in the
- 13:58Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, we're going to get both these
- 14:00Speaker 1: big fellas back, knock on wood.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Yep, 21-day windows activated. So, yeah, I desperately need them
- 14:09Speaker 3: back for their positions, especially Moten on the offensive line
- 14:12Speaker 3: to be that stalwart that we know that he is
- 14:16Speaker 3: and that Fitty, although Fitty questioned.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Him in the offseason, but we definitely need Moten back. Yeah.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Did Finney say he wasn't even worth a $ 100 voucher
- 14:24Speaker 1: at Harris? No, it wasn't that bad. It's exactly what
- 14:27Speaker 1: he said. It wasn't that bad. Yeah, they have 21
- 14:30Speaker 1: days now since the window's been activated to get them
- 14:35Speaker 1: on the active roster. And I don't... I feel like
- 14:40Speaker 1: it's not going to take 21 days. I feel like
- 14:43Speaker 1: we're getting close. May not be this week, but I
- 14:46Speaker 1: feel like we are getting close here. So that's certainly
- 14:48Speaker 1: good news. HN is coming off the IR. That's a
- 14:52Speaker 1: done deal. There's no waiting around for a 21-day win.
- 14:56Speaker 1: He is going to be active this week. So he'll
- 15:00Speaker 1: be in there as a return man, in there as
- 15:02Speaker 1: running back depth as well. And we'll see how the
- 15:05Speaker 1: running back carries split. Does he hop right in and
- 15:07Speaker 1: go over top of Dillon?
- 15:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Or is it, or is Dylan still the number two guy?
- 15:11Speaker 1: That'll be, that'll be something bone that we'll have to,
- 15:14Speaker 1: that we'll have to watch. And when Moten comes back,
- 15:17Speaker 1: there's an interesting conversation of who's the left tackle. You know,
- 15:22Speaker 1: when Monroe, when Monroe Freeling gets healthy. And again, it
- 15:27Speaker 1: sounds like there's a chance he could play this week too,
- 15:29Speaker 1: but you know, does Freeling when he's healthy play left
- 15:31Speaker 1: tackle or does Rasheed Walker?
- 15:34Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one that we'll talk about a lot. I
- 15:36Speaker 3: don't have the exact answer on what they may do there. Obviously,
- 15:40Speaker 3: the health of Freeling may play a factor in the immediate,
- 15:43Speaker 3: but do they just put Freeling where he will be,
- 15:47Speaker 3: we hope, for the next decade plus right now? Do
- 15:50Speaker 3: they let him sit back a little bit and watch
- 15:52Speaker 3: like they kind of wanted to do when the year began?
- 15:55Speaker 3: I don't know how they're going to play that. Interesting
- 15:57Speaker 3: to see how that works out, though.
- 15:58Speaker 1: If Rasheed Walker was playing good, I could see them say, okay, Rook,
- 16:03Speaker 1: maybe just sit down and watch. Rasheed Walker hasn't been
- 16:06Speaker 1: very good in his own right.
- 16:08Speaker 4: No.
- 16:08Speaker 1: You could argue he has struggled more than Freeling. Yeah.
- 16:13Speaker 1: So I think that's part of the conversation there. And
- 16:17Speaker 1: then Icky, it feels like that thing is off in
- 16:19Speaker 1: the distance at this point in time.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Micah, just looking ahead here real quick, we never want
- 16:26Speaker 3: to do that with the Panthers, but just an injury note,
- 16:28Speaker 3: Micah Parsons back, still not back yet. They thought he
- 16:31Speaker 3: might be back for the Cowboys-Packers, the reunion game. He
- 16:34Speaker 3: is still not back. So as we look ahead down
- 16:36Speaker 3: the line, Micah Parsons' first game legitimately might be against
- 16:39Speaker 3: the Panthers.
- 16:40Speaker 1: It very well might. But it's on a Thursday, so
- 16:41Speaker 1: I don't know if that plays into it or not.
- 16:43Speaker 1: It very well might. And looking ahead only a few days,
- 16:47Speaker 1: Sirianni said yesterday there is a chance that both Devontae
- 16:51Speaker 1: Smith and– Saquon Barkley play this week with their hamstring injury.
- 16:55Speaker 1: So that's going to be something we're going to be.
- 16:57Speaker 1: We're going to be monitoring our own injuries. Philly, this
- 16:59Speaker 1: is the damn... This is the Novant Health Bowl. I mean,
- 17:03Speaker 1: this is shut. Seriously, this is the Mash Bowl. I mean,
- 17:07Speaker 1: how injured are these two teams combined? It's ridiculous. There's
- 17:10Speaker 1: going to be a CVS receipt of the injured list
- 17:13Speaker 1: this week. You have to read off. It's crazy, man. Seriously,
- 17:16Speaker 1: you have to pay a copay to watch this game.
- 17:19Speaker 1: That's how damn injury. I don't even know if that's funny.
- 17:22Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm laughing. I know you're not laughing at
- 17:24Speaker 1: the injuries. I'm laughing at the sheer amount that we
- 17:27Speaker 1: have to deal with this week. Also needs to be mentioned,
- 17:30Speaker 1: the Panthers are changing their practice schedule this week coming
- 17:33Speaker 1: off the bye. They were there yesterday. Tuesday is a
- 17:37Speaker 1: usual off day. They will practice today and they will
- 17:41Speaker 1: make Wednesday the off day this week. So the Panthers
- 17:45Speaker 1: will be practicing today, which is a little unusual. They
- 17:48Speaker 1: will not be working on work Wednesday, Bo. So Canales
- 17:52Speaker 1: answers questions today instead of Wednesday.
- 17:54Speaker 4: Then, right?
- 17:55Speaker 1: I would think so. Yeah, I would think that's going
- 17:56Speaker 1: to be the case. So anyway, that's going to throw
- 18:00Speaker 1: him off. He's going to go into the office on Wednesday.
- 18:02Speaker 1: It's a work Wednesday!
- 18:04Speaker 3: And no players will be there. It's going to throw
- 18:05Speaker 3: him off. How's this throw off JJ's schedule, I wonder?
- 18:08Speaker 3: What's he going to have to do now?
- 18:09Speaker 1: I wonder.
- 18:11Speaker 4: I wonder.
- 18:12Speaker 1: I think he will still play lawn. Yard games moved
- 18:15Speaker 1: around a little bit this week. He plays lawn games
- 18:17Speaker 1: a day early, I feel like, is what it looks like.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Also need to mention, Bone, that the Milwaukee Brewers have
- 18:24Speaker 1: taken a 2-0 lead over the Dodgers. They win 7-4
- 18:29Speaker 1: last night in Game 2 of the NLCS. And then
- 18:34Speaker 1: the Guardians— I got it right finally, Bone— The Cleveland Guardians,
- 18:39Speaker 1: 7-3 winners over Tampa last night as well.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Yeah, now the Dodgers are considering sitting down Shohei Otani.
- 18:47Speaker 3: They're saying it's for health reasons, but performance-wise, he has
- 18:51Speaker 3: really done nothing of late. So that'll be interesting to
- 18:54Speaker 3: watch if he gets sat down for game number three.
- 18:57Speaker 3: Do you feel bad, Mac, for the rough night that
- 18:59Speaker 3: Los Angeles had last night? The gutty underdog Rams and
- 19:04Speaker 3: Dodgers both losing last night.
- 19:08Speaker 1: No, I cannot say I do.
- 19:10Speaker 3: When we come back, we talk Panthers and more on
- 19:13Speaker 3: possible injury returns. And we have some highlights from Bryce
- 19:17Speaker 3: Young's appearance on the Manning cast. Finally, Matt Bryce Young
- 19:21Speaker 3: with a little national exposure. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 19:39Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll give a much clearer update on that later
- 19:43Speaker 7: on in the week. But, you know, right now that
- 19:46Speaker 7: the window starts to open up for these guys I'm
- 19:48Speaker 7: really excited they're excited to get back out there we
- 19:51Speaker 7: got to get them some football to kind of be
- 19:52Speaker 7: able to evaluate their availability in the next couple of
- 19:55Speaker 7: weeks we'll open up Turk and Timo's window this week
- 19:59Speaker 7: for sure and then we'll how we do that how
- 20:01Speaker 7: they respond to the work we'll give all that information.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Later There you go. So good news, good news. No
- 20:08Speaker 1: guarantee they play this week, but certainly good news that
- 20:11Speaker 1: they will be back here in the next couple few
- 20:14Speaker 1: weeks because that window, as Bone said, is 21 days
- 20:17Speaker 1: where they've got to get back to the active roster.
- 20:19Speaker 1: My only question, Bone, is Turk's window has been open.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Moten's window has been opened. Are they universal windows? Because
- 20:27Speaker 1: I sure hope they are.
- 20:28Speaker 3: Mac, I was wondering, if I could get myself a window,
- 20:31Speaker 3: where can I go for that? And more than just
- 20:33Speaker 3: a 21-day window, a window for a very long time.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Did they get to buy two, get two?
- 20:37Speaker 1: Did they get, they bought two for Turk and then
- 20:40Speaker 1: got two free for Timo? That's the way they should
- 20:43Speaker 1: do it. Is this shameless and I should stop? Probably.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Probably at this point in time. So anyway, dudes are
- 20:50Speaker 1: starting to come back slowly but surely. The corners obviously
- 20:55Speaker 1: are the ones, Bone, that's going to be a long time.
- 20:57Speaker 1: Icky is one that I'm almost putting out of my mind.
- 21:01Speaker 1: I mean, it almost sounded like, I don't want to
- 21:03Speaker 1: put words in Canales' mouth, but we all try to, like,
- 21:06Speaker 1: read into, okay, what does it really mean? I almost
- 21:09Speaker 1: find myself wondering, will they even be back at all
- 21:11Speaker 1: this year? So that one I'm kind of putting out
- 21:14Speaker 1: in my mind. But you get Timo back and then have,
- 21:17Speaker 1: like we said earlier, options of do you do Freeling
- 21:20Speaker 1: or Walker on the left side. Feels like a big deal. Like,
- 21:22Speaker 1: you have Lewis, who hopefully, again, he's another one we're
- 21:25Speaker 1: trying to get back and hoping to get back this
- 21:27Speaker 1: week after the elbow injury. And boy, do they need
- 21:29Speaker 1: him in this matchup. Oh, no doubt with Jalen Carter.
- 21:32Speaker 1: You got Lewis, who is the epitome of consistency, and
- 21:36Speaker 1: if you get Timo back, you at least have two
- 21:38Speaker 1: epitomes of consistency on the line. Yeah, and Morton and Wotan.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Morton and Wotan.
- 21:46Speaker 3: Morton and Wotan are also coming off scary things individually.
- 21:50Speaker 3: The neck and then blood clot. These aren't exactly your
- 21:54Speaker 3: hammies and your glutes and your strains here.
- 21:57Speaker 1: These are... Some very serious things.
- 21:59Speaker 3: So not only are we glad that they're back in
- 22:03Speaker 3: the football window time, but just back there glad playing
- 22:05Speaker 3: at all.
- 22:06Speaker 1: I like the way you said that. Your hammies, your glutes,
- 22:08Speaker 1: and your straights. Hammies, glutes, knees and toes, knees and toes.
- 22:14Speaker 3: Well, I mean, blood clots and neck stuff, man, that's
- 22:16Speaker 3: some scary stuff that some people don't come back from.
- 22:19Speaker 1: And they have been, as coach said, they have been
- 22:21Speaker 1: cleared medically. Like the doctors have said his neck is
- 22:24Speaker 1: ready for contact and, and Moten, he can play with that,
- 22:29Speaker 1: you know, blood clot in his lungs. So best of
- 22:31Speaker 1: luck to those boys, but it is good to see we're, we're,
- 22:34Speaker 1: we're getting some positive movement on the injuries. Now I
- 22:37Speaker 1: got to go to more injury updates. Oh, good segment.
- 22:41Speaker 1: We can't even get to like other Panthers on because every,
- 22:44Speaker 1: everything is an injury update. Let's go to coach canalis
- 22:47Speaker 1: yesterday about Jalen Phillips. Cause when we last left him bone,
- 22:52Speaker 1: he had a hamstring strain. Remember at the end of the,
- 22:54Speaker 1: of the lions game.
- 22:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 22:57Speaker 7: Um, first of all, you know, Jalen's got a chance. Um, again,
- 23:00Speaker 7: we'll get into more specifics about that, but, um, the
- 23:04Speaker 7: biggest thing that Jalen brings is just his motor. He's
- 23:08Speaker 7: a powerful man.
- 23:09Speaker 4: He's huge.
- 23:10Speaker 7: He goes close to 270 pounds at 6'5, and he
- 23:13Speaker 7: can really run. So whether he's on the front side
- 23:15Speaker 7: or back side of a run, he's a problem for opponents.
- 23:18Speaker 7: And so we love that about him. We love the
- 23:21Speaker 7: way he attacks it that way. And then certainly a
- 23:24Speaker 7: guy that's an every-down player, and he can be out there.
- 23:28Speaker 7: He's certainly impactful in pass rush, but to be able
- 23:31Speaker 7: to have that stout point of attack on first and
- 23:34Speaker 7: second now, whether it's run or play actions, those types
- 23:36Speaker 7: of things. He's a critical part of what we're doing.
- 23:39Speaker 1: He's got that Hendrick motor, Mac. Heck yeah, he does. Although,
- 23:43Speaker 1: do you want to have a Toyota motor this year?
- 23:44Speaker 1: I don't know. You might want to have a TRD motor.
- 23:47Speaker 1: It's close. I thought I was hitting on the good
- 23:48Speaker 1: one there. You're all right. You're all right. As far
- 23:52Speaker 1: as what he's saying there, yeah, about Phillips, he's one
- 23:57Speaker 1: of the guys that we're going to have to kind
- 23:59Speaker 1: of wait and see as the week goes on, Bone.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Another wait and see guy is Jalen Coker. He's got
- 24:05Speaker 1: that quad injury. So you knew Canales was going to
- 24:08Speaker 1: be asked about Coker for this week as well.
- 24:11Speaker 7: He had a great bye week. Just continued to ramp
- 24:14Speaker 7: up every day with some rest in there as well.
- 24:17Speaker 7: All these guys have been going hard all across the
- 24:19Speaker 7: league really since training camp. You get into the first
- 24:22Speaker 7: four weeks of the season and you're just hit with
- 24:25Speaker 7: different loads and different spikes in exertion, high speed mileage
- 24:29Speaker 7: and all these different things that we're keeping track of.
- 24:32Speaker 7: Jalen's on track. He's got a couple of big days
- 24:35Speaker 7: ahead of him. I'll give you more information as the
- 24:37Speaker 7: week goes on, but We'll get a great opportunity tomorrow
- 24:40Speaker 7: to get on the field and to take a look
- 24:43Speaker 7: at some things and then see if we can continue
- 24:45Speaker 7: to progress.
- 24:46Speaker 3: I mean, if you're into injury updates, boy, is this
- 24:49Speaker 3: your week. Boy, howdy, you're having a good time this week.
- 24:52Speaker 1: If we wanted to, we could do a whole segment
- 24:54Speaker 1: on Sirianni giving their injury updates.
- 24:56Speaker 3: We're going to do our show at Harrah's on Friday
- 24:59Speaker 3: and just do three hours, the first three hours of
- 25:01Speaker 3: who might.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Play and who might not play on both sides. I
- 25:04Speaker 1: think we should all do the show in full body
- 25:06Speaker 1: casts and wheelchairs in honor of the walking wounded going
- 25:10Speaker 1: into this game. You give me a few days, I might.
- 25:14Speaker 1: I've got head, shoulders, knees, and quads. Knees and quads.
- 25:16Speaker 1: That's right, baby. That is right. All right, 7045709610, if
- 25:21Speaker 1: you want to jump in here. I'm noticing that the
- 25:24Speaker 1: text line, the text line was some interesting stuff. They really,
- 25:27Speaker 1: when we were talking about the food that we could,
- 25:30Speaker 1: you know, chow on. Let's be honest. That's what this
- 25:32Speaker 1: is about. When we talk about the food we could
- 25:34Speaker 1: chow on at Harris, 704 number said get the sticky
- 25:38Speaker 1: toffee pudding at Gordon Ramsay. You won't be disappointed. Then
- 25:41Speaker 1: you also had Kathy that said there's a place called
- 25:45Speaker 1: Granny's Kitchen in Cherokee that's close by as well.
- 25:48Speaker 3: I have been there before, and I do believe I've
- 25:51Speaker 3: been to Granny's Kitchen before.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I think so. I thought this was a Granny Pat
- 25:54Speaker 1: joke at first, and I realized, no, Kathy's really trying
- 25:57Speaker 1: to help.
- 25:57Speaker 3: It's a cool place up there because it's this giant hotel,
- 26:00Speaker 3: but it's in this small mountain town also. There's a
- 26:03Speaker 3: lot of like- little local places around it. So it's a,
- 26:07Speaker 3: it's a pretty cool back. Sounds like a great getaway spot.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Someone says Mac might triple his gambling earnings. They come
- 26:13Speaker 3: back with 21 cents. I've already got that look for Mrs.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Mac.
- 26:16Speaker 1: When I told her we're doing the show in the
- 26:18Speaker 1: sports book or whatever, uh, I just got that look
- 26:21Speaker 1: that was like, well, they don't have any money for
- 26:23Speaker 1: you to lose. I said, but what if I win?
- 26:26Speaker 2: She looked at me like, how is that even possible
- 26:30Speaker 2: with your track record?
- 26:31Speaker 3: Also, putting me in a sports book, what I've been
- 26:34Speaker 3: feeling good about my last couple of weeks.
- 26:35Speaker 1: This is you, Bone.
- 26:36Speaker 3: This is like sending Willie to a dry brisket convention. Like,
- 26:39Speaker 3: this is not going to end well for anybody, Bone.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Here's the deal, though, Bone. Don't take so much of
- 26:44Speaker 1: their money by winning bets that they can't afford the
- 26:46Speaker 1: sponsorship anymore at WFNZ. That's my only concern, as hot
- 26:49Speaker 1: as you are right now. All right?
- 26:52Speaker 4: Anyway.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Or I fund their whole ad campaign. Y'all are getting
- 26:57Speaker 1: fired up here on the... on the text line here.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Gator Rube also with a funny text. I was bringing up...
- 27:04Speaker 1: Was it about the game the other day? No, no, no, no, no.
- 27:07Speaker 1: I was bringing up... Seems like Gator Rube doesn't want
- 27:10Speaker 1: to talk to you about football. No, he got awfully
- 27:12Speaker 1: quiet now. That's interesting. But he does want to say
- 27:14Speaker 1: about me bringing up my late game complaints, how good
- 27:18Speaker 1: the games were the last two nights, but my old
- 27:20Speaker 1: behind is tired. He says, my college bros came down
- 27:24Speaker 1: for my 50th. Topics of discussion, late games, high blood pressure,
- 27:28Speaker 1: bad knees and backs. Oh, God. Yeah, old guys are
- 27:33Speaker 1: basically the same as the Panthers and Eagles, just kind
- 27:35Speaker 1: of hurting right now. All right, so let's go to
- 27:39Speaker 1: the Bryce appearance last night on the Manning cast bone.
- 27:42Speaker 1: It's just been so much fun to see Bryce get
- 27:45Speaker 1: all this love that he has gotten, all this national
- 27:48Speaker 1: attention and praise, because... For a while there, Bone, and
- 27:53Speaker 1: I mean for a while, I'm talking about multiple years,
- 27:56Speaker 1: it's been a lot of the opposite. He's a bust,
- 28:00Speaker 1: or hey, when's he really going to become that guy,
- 28:03Speaker 1: or is he ever going to become that guy? So
- 28:05Speaker 1: it was really cool, and I know he doesn't live
- 28:07Speaker 1: for this sort of stuff. He's very humble, very modest.
- 28:10Speaker 1: He is all about the team. He's Keekly-like in that regard.
- 28:13Speaker 1: He is, because I was going to say, like, He
- 28:17Speaker 1: almost is uncomfortable. Like they played a clip last night
- 28:20Speaker 1: on the Manning cast bone of like the, you know,
- 28:23Speaker 1: the video clip of his teammates, Channing MVP, when he
- 28:25Speaker 1: came in the locker room after Detroit game, he's almost uncomfortable. Right,
- 28:31Speaker 1: like watching that and being asked about that, to your point. Yeah.
- 28:35Speaker 3: Which, again, makes— He wants to deflect the attention all
- 28:39Speaker 3: over the place.
- 28:40Speaker 1: He does, which, again, makes him more likable. It's what
- 28:42Speaker 1: Fitty does on this show.
- 28:43Speaker 3: If Fitty gets praised, Fitty sends it right back and says,
- 28:46Speaker 3: it's not about me, it's about my teammates.
- 28:47Speaker 1: That's right. So true. Great comparison. So let's hear a
- 28:51Speaker 1: couple of clips from Bryce last night with Peyton and Eli.
- 28:56Speaker 1: This one was a good one, Bone. So I didn't
- 28:59Speaker 1: realize this, but apparently because it's on TikTok, I think
- 29:04Speaker 1: I'm over the legal limit for TikTok, Boney. I'm not
- 29:07Speaker 1: cool enough for that. But on TikTok, there is a
- 29:09Speaker 1: viral video trend. uh of just a a uh a
- 29:13Speaker 1: video that's got all the clips of Bryce being extremely
- 29:17Speaker 1: nice uh which we all know to be the truth
- 29:20Speaker 1: so they play some of this for Bryce and then
- 29:22Speaker 1: talk to him about.
- 29:23Speaker 8: It anyone any updates anyone major life milestones congratulations me
- 29:31Speaker 8: I'm just happy to be here what's your name what's
- 29:34Speaker 8: wrong talk to me everything okay okay well I appreciate
- 29:38Speaker 8: you for being out here bro what'd you say your
- 29:39Speaker 8: name was again Dylan.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Dylan.
- 29:41Speaker 2: I'm Bryce.
- 29:45Speaker 6: All right, Bryce, that's from a TikTok video of you
- 29:47Speaker 6: that's going viral. Just clips of you being a really
- 29:50Speaker 6: nice guy. And Bryce, I'm really glad that you're a
- 29:53Speaker 6: nice guy. But my question is, have you ever said
- 29:56Speaker 6: something mean? And if not, would you like to try
- 29:59Speaker 6: it out on Peyton right now?
- 30:03Speaker 1: Well, luckily I have.
- 30:04Speaker 8: So I don't have to try it out. But, yeah,
- 30:09Speaker 8: I mean, of course, you guys know better than anyone,
- 30:12Speaker 8: you know, you've got to be the cue and be
- 30:14Speaker 8: the leader for whatever the team needs at the moment.
- 30:16Speaker 8: So it's fun when it gets to be very positive.
- 30:21Speaker 8: And obviously there's other times where you need to show
- 30:23Speaker 8: another side.
- 30:23Speaker 4: But, you know, we do what we have to.
- 30:26Speaker 1: So there you go. Nicest quarterback and he averages the
- 30:29Speaker 1: most passing yards a game, Bo. How about that? What
- 30:32Speaker 1: more do you want in a man? Nice guys can
- 30:34Speaker 1: be first in the passing rankings. I would spend a
- 30:38Speaker 1: lot of money of David Tepper's money on him, I think.
- 30:41Speaker 1: David Tepper, pay this man. Isn't it funny how we
- 30:44Speaker 1: talk about money in sports? Like, oh, you can't spend
- 30:46Speaker 1: it on that? Well, it's not really our money, is it? No,
- 30:48Speaker 1: it isn't, is it? I like spending David Tepper's money
- 30:50Speaker 1: on good football players, and it just feels like it's
- 30:53Speaker 1: just a matter of time until Bryce gets it. And
- 30:55Speaker 1: by the way, the Fit Dog brought up an interesting
- 30:58Speaker 1: point earlier before the show that we hadn't even that's
- 31:01Speaker 1: his domain we had he's really really he's really good
- 31:04Speaker 1: before the show baby he's hitting stride about 5 a.m
- 31:07Speaker 1: but Fitty you brought up the point that for all
- 31:10Speaker 1: those Bryce like replace Bryce in the draft folks on
- 31:13Speaker 1: the text line first of all they're very quiet right
- 31:15Speaker 1: now they really don't have anything to say about that
- 31:18Speaker 1: but when you look at what's happened to some of
- 31:20Speaker 1: these quarterbacks bone it's happening again like the draft Fitty
- 31:24Speaker 1: these quarterbacks they don't look to be the certainties that
- 31:27Speaker 1: everybody thought they'd be in the summer some of these dudes.
- 31:29Speaker 2: No they do not mac like if if let's say
- 31:31Speaker 2: the pantons were oh and four and bryce looked like
- 31:35Speaker 2: bryce from two years ago like let's say he had
- 31:37Speaker 2: regressed and we were sitting here thinking hey we gotta
- 31:38Speaker 2: get a quarterback i don't even know which quarterback i
- 31:42Speaker 2: would tell you that i wanted like and we were
- 31:45Speaker 2: told in the offseason hey if you have to go
- 31:48Speaker 2: get a quarterback this might be the draft because there's
- 31:50Speaker 2: gonna be seven eight first round High caliber quarterbacks.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Where are these guys at? Where are these guys at?
- 31:57Speaker 2: Because I watched college football for 12 hours every Saturday.
- 32:01Speaker 2: And I don't see seven to eight first round quarterbacks
- 32:03Speaker 2: playing on Saturdays right now.
- 32:05Speaker 3: What's interesting, Mac, about the quarterback narratives is I think
- 32:08Speaker 3: Bryce has passed Stroud now in that debate. But Stroud,
- 32:12Speaker 3: believe it or not, you look at the record and
- 32:14Speaker 3: you wouldn't think this. Stroud's having a good year. He's
- 32:17Speaker 3: got a 98 rating, 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, no INTs.
- 32:23Speaker 3: Bryce is still better, but Stroud is actually not performing
- 32:26Speaker 3: that bad this year compared to what you would think
- 32:28Speaker 3: it would be.
- 32:28Speaker 1: No, not at all. Not at all. But, yeah, you're right.
- 32:32Speaker 3: You would just think, oh, Stroud's terrible, but he hasn't been,
- 32:34Speaker 3: yet Bryce is still past him.
- 32:35Speaker 1: No, in fairness to Stroud, you're right. It's not like
- 32:37Speaker 1: it's been a horrible year for him. Certainly doesn't look
- 32:40Speaker 1: like it did there in the postseason or the end
- 32:42Speaker 1: of the season last year for Stroud. Anyway, so that's
- 32:47Speaker 1: a good point by Fitty. Guys like Arch, Dante Moore
- 32:50Speaker 1: wasn't having the greatest season. So there are some guys.
- 32:53Speaker 1: But it happens every year. Every year in the summer, Bone,
- 32:57Speaker 1: it's going to be the greatest quarterback draft ever. And
- 32:59Speaker 1: then there's a problem. They actually have to play games.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Remember last year? Well, Lenore Sellers was a guy we saw. Sellers, Klubnick,
- 33:06Speaker 1: and Nussmeier. Remember them last year? And Aller. And Drew Aller,
- 33:10Speaker 1: although I never bought that. But yeah, you're right. All right,
- 33:13Speaker 1: so let's go to another Bryce clip.
- 33:15Speaker 3: Now Mestemaker's moving way up there in the list.
- 33:17Speaker 1: There's a lot of Mestemaker for No.
- 33:19Speaker 2: 1 hype.
- 33:20Speaker 1: Right, that's happening right now. He has been one that
- 33:24Speaker 1: is delivering. That system would scare me now. Ever since
- 33:27Speaker 1: the Tulsa Law. How much is he a product of
- 33:31Speaker 1: that system? You're right, it's going to be the question.
- 33:34Speaker 1: I have to be honest. Not our problem.
- 33:36Speaker 2: I don't think anybody should mess around at the top
- 33:38Speaker 2: of the draft. I think you just.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Take the generational Jeremiah Smith. And if you're not going
- 33:43Speaker 1: to take him, I feel like trade out of that spot.
- 33:47Speaker 1: because that dude deserves to go number one overall. Are
- 33:49Speaker 1: you freaking kidding me?
- 33:50Speaker 2: That's going to be the decision the Chargers have to
- 33:52Speaker 2: make because they're 0-5.
- 33:54Speaker 1: By the way... And Jim Harbaugh has no answers. Oh,
- 33:57Speaker 1: he's getting what to bleep today. He had a very
- 33:59Speaker 1: rough moment in his press conference at 0-5. All right,
- 34:02Speaker 1: one more from Bryce here. Let's... Let's do this one.
- 34:05Speaker 1: This is Bryce Young being a little surprise bone that
- 34:10Speaker 1: they dug up a picture of 16-year-old Bryce hanging out
- 34:14Speaker 1: with Cliff Kingsbury, who apparently offered him a full ride
- 34:19Speaker 1: to Texas Tech when Bryce was in eighth grade. And
- 34:23Speaker 1: they shared a picture of eighth grade Bryce. Listen to this. So, Bryce,
- 34:29Speaker 1: two-part question here.
- 34:30Speaker 6: What was it like to receive a scholarship in middle school?
- 34:33Speaker 1: And what was the.
- 34:34Speaker 6: Scouting report on Bryce Young as a junior high quarterback?
- 34:40Speaker 8: Where are you guys getting these clips from?
- 34:43Speaker 1: Deep research. He was cracking up, man. And Bone, I noticed,
- 34:51Speaker 1: isn't surprising. Bryce in eighth grade was kind of small. Yeah,
- 34:56Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking he was a giant. A giant amongst
- 35:00Speaker 1: mere mortals. Isn't that what he says all the time?
- 35:02Speaker 1: I've been a small all my life. It's not like
- 35:05Speaker 1: I was the biggest guy and now I'm the smallest guy.
- 35:09Speaker 1: So anyway, it was entertaining to see Bryce there. No
- 35:12Speaker 1: doubt about it. Somebody is pointing out Trinidad Chambliss is
- 35:16Speaker 1: on that good list right now, though. On that good,
- 35:19Speaker 1: good list. I think he has helped his stock immensely.
- 35:23Speaker 3: And think about where guys like Chambliss and Mestermaker came from.
- 35:26Speaker 3: They're not the guys that entered college, Mac, as, oh
- 35:29Speaker 3: my God, they're going to be the Arch Manning-like. They're
- 35:31Speaker 3: not these hyped-up legacy guys. Chambliss came from Ferris State,
- 35:35Speaker 3: made himself something in college. Drew Mestermaker wasn't even the
- 35:39Speaker 3: starter in high school. didn't didn't start until he got
- 35:42Speaker 3: to was a walk-on at north texas and he earns
- 35:45Speaker 3: that so these quarterbacks mac can come from anywhere at
- 35:47Speaker 3: any given time that's a good point i should mention
- 35:50Speaker 3: i think darian mensah is probably helping his draft stock
- 35:53Speaker 3: that should probably that should probably be mentioned as well
- 35:56Speaker 3: not to not to upset you bone.
- 35:59Speaker 1: If i wanted to upset you i could say bone
- 36:01Speaker 1: they also could come from dude can transfer in god
- 36:03Speaker 1: i could have said something like that you know.
- 36:07Speaker 3: I'm going to go full Mike Tomlin when he doesn't
- 36:09Speaker 3: mention Derrick Henry's name on TV. He just calls him
- 36:12Speaker 3: the big running back.
- 36:13Speaker 1: The big runner.
- 36:13Speaker 3: I would just call him the Miami quarterback from now on. Hey,
- 36:16Speaker 3: you'll get your shot, baby. Duke will get their shot.
- 36:19Speaker 1: I'm salivating. I can't wait.
- 36:21Speaker 3: When we come back, Matt, college football stuff, tons of
- 36:25Speaker 3: injury news all across the country. Find out what Kirby
- 36:28Speaker 3: Smart is mad about. ECU and Charlotte are going to
- 36:31Speaker 3: have a new school. They're going to have to welcome
- 36:34Speaker 3: to the AAC. And we got to talk about John Summerall's,
- 36:38Speaker 3: his son's hilarious reaction to the Gamecocks beating his dad's
- 36:42Speaker 3: Gators the other day.
- 36:43Speaker 1: All that and more. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 36:53Speaker 7: So so.
- 37:11Speaker 5: Because I know how sacred the locker room is to you,
- 37:14Speaker 5: what was your reaction to the leaked audio, and will
- 37:16Speaker 5: you make any changes about who you do allow or
- 37:18Speaker 5: don't allow in your locker room?
- 37:20Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's happened before. It's not something I want.
- 37:25Speaker 4: I feel like that that's a spot that you should
- 37:28Speaker 4: be able to feel safe to talk to your team
- 37:31Speaker 4: and communicate with your team. I mean, it's happened before
- 37:34Speaker 4: to us. We've got to do a better job managing it, honestly.
- 37:37Speaker 1: As you can imagine, Kirby is not very happy that
- 37:41Speaker 1: somebody recorded his pregame speech before the game, which has
- 37:46Speaker 1: gone viral and it's freaking amazing, but cannot be played
- 37:50Speaker 1: on these radio airwaves. Also, his postgame speech. That can't
- 37:52Speaker 1: be played in many places at all. You can't. You
- 37:56Speaker 1: can't be played at the office, can't be played with
- 37:59Speaker 1: your family around. That's got to be completely in solitude.
- 38:03Speaker 1: That's where you got to play that Kirby speech. But
- 38:05Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it is amazing. I love every bit
- 38:08Speaker 1: of it, man. I really do. But yeah, you could
- 38:11Speaker 1: see why Bone, he would be a little annoyed. It's
- 38:13Speaker 1: like me talking to Murphy to get him to go
- 38:15Speaker 1: pee outside. Is that the speeches you give him, man?
- 38:16Speaker 1: Exactly the same. I could see him being annoyed like, dude,
- 38:20Speaker 1: who's leaking that? Who's in our locker room, part of
- 38:23Speaker 1: our group that is, you know what I mean? Even
- 38:25Speaker 1: though it makes him look good. Now, the Lane Kiffin thing,
- 38:28Speaker 1: when that got leaked, when his speech got leaked. Felt
- 38:30Speaker 1: like he may have been a part of the leakage.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Felt like he probably would love it to be out there, right?
- 38:35Speaker 1: Let me show everybody how awesome I am.
- 38:38Speaker 3: So Kirby doesn't that's not Kirby's style like Lane. He
- 38:42Speaker 3: wants what he's saying is meant for those guys, not
- 38:45Speaker 3: the entire outside world. What Lane Kiffin wants is the
- 38:48Speaker 3: entire outside world to know what he's telling his guys.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Absolutely. No doubt about it. All right. So the so
- 38:54Speaker 1: some of the big news, we've got a bunch of
- 38:56Speaker 1: different injury things in college football. Here we are with
- 38:58Speaker 1: injuries again. But before that, let's start with this JMU news.
- 39:04Speaker 1: We discussed it at the end of the show yesterday,
- 39:06Speaker 1: but we got more details on it now. JMU 6-0
- 39:10Speaker 1: under Billy Napier, by the way. It does not seem
- 39:12Speaker 1: to matter who coaches them. JMU leaving the Sun Belt
- 39:16Speaker 1: for the American Conference. They will do it no later
- 39:19Speaker 1: than July 1st, 2028. The Sun Belt, by the way,
- 39:23Speaker 1: is just in the process of raising their exit fees.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Texas State left them recently for $ 5 million. So the
- 39:29Speaker 1: Sunbelt would like to probably charge JMU more than that.
- 39:33Speaker 1: There's also the entrance fee to the American of around
- 39:37Speaker 1: $ 23 million. And JMU announced, Bone, that corporate sponsors will
- 39:41Speaker 1: pay all these fees, exit fees, entrance fees. And, um,
- 39:45Speaker 1: I did not know it was, I figured the American
- 39:47Speaker 1: certainly had a bigger TV deal than the Sunbelt, but
- 39:50Speaker 1: I didn't realize bone. It's like five times the amount
- 39:53Speaker 1: I was reading the article in the athletic American TV, um, uh,
- 39:57Speaker 1: payout per year, per school, $ 10 million. Whereas in the Sunbelt,
- 40:01Speaker 1: it's 2 million. And they won't get the full fee
- 40:05Speaker 1: right away. They'll have to work themselves up to that. But, yeah,
- 40:09Speaker 1: you could completely understand why they want to make the move.
- 40:11Speaker 1: And you could completely understand, Bone, why the American would
- 40:14Speaker 1: like JMU. They deserve that. Their programs are really good.
- 40:20Speaker 1: It's becoming a cradle of successful coaches, not just Cignetti.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Look at Bob Chesney now at UCLA. They've got Bindington
- 40:30Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt for basketball. Kenny Brooks, Matt, came from there,
- 40:34Speaker 1: the women's basketball coach, who's now at Kentucky, that built
- 40:37Speaker 1: up Virginia Tech after James Madison. It feels like whoever
- 40:41Speaker 1: goes there to coach– in the prominent sports, ends up
- 40:44Speaker 1: going other places and succeeding. That's a sports program that
- 40:49Speaker 1: deserves to be in AAC. Sometimes we question moves like,
- 40:53Speaker 1: what's that team doing? Why are they going? That one's
- 40:56Speaker 1: a no-brainer to me. They're going to strengthen the conference,
- 40:58Speaker 1: and Blake Harrell at ECU was doing his Monday weekly
- 41:01Speaker 1: presser yesterday and was asked about the addition of JMU,
- 41:06Speaker 1: and he pointed out just how good it is for
- 41:10Speaker 1: the conference, but also for ECU it helps.
- 41:13Speaker 5: I think it's great for our conference to grow. I
- 41:15Speaker 5: think it's great for our conference to have more exposure.
- 41:18Speaker 5: Our commissioner does a great job of continuing to seek
- 41:21Speaker 5: opponents that will help strengthen our conference and our football landscape.
- 41:25Speaker 5: I think anytime we can add a regional game, which
- 41:27Speaker 5: that would be, it's great for attendance in Dowdy-Ficklin Stadium
- 41:31Speaker 5: or at their place both. Probably some of our better
- 41:35Speaker 5: attended games are regional opponents as opposed to an opponent
- 41:38Speaker 5: that's coming from Texas that nobody has a connection to
- 41:42Speaker 5: or Their neighbor didn't graduate from there. But, you know,
- 41:45Speaker 5: when you have a regional opponent, especially in conference play,
- 41:48Speaker 5: I think that can be pretty exciting for the fan base.
- 41:51Speaker 5: I think it strengthens our conference overall and helps us
- 41:54Speaker 5: be the, I already think we are, but continue to
- 41:57Speaker 5: be the top G6 conference in America.
- 42:00Speaker 3: So there you go. Yeah, shout out to Jeff Bourne, Mac.
- 42:04Speaker 3: I just mentioned all those coaches that came from JMU.
- 42:07Speaker 3: Jeff Bourne was the AD at James Madison from 99
- 42:11Speaker 3: until the spring of 2024.
- 42:13Speaker 1: He hired all those coaches.
- 42:14Speaker 3: It's not a name you would think of as doing
- 42:16Speaker 3: great work, but that dude hired all those coaches. So
- 42:20Speaker 3: for JMU to get where they are now, that guy
- 42:22Speaker 3: is largely responsible for their rise.
- 42:24Speaker 1: And you said this off the air. If you're a
- 42:26Speaker 1: power for school, would you not look at Jeff Bourne
- 42:28Speaker 1: to hire him? Well, he retired, so I guess he
- 42:30Speaker 1: might have been older.
- 42:31Speaker 3: Oh, he's done?
- 42:31Speaker 1: Yeah, he retired in 2024.
- 42:33Speaker 3: Because I was thinking, if a dude is doing all that,
- 42:35Speaker 3: someone else took over about a year and a half ago.
- 42:38Speaker 1: I was thinking, if a guy did all that work,
- 42:40Speaker 1: why is he not? I heard he's now busy shooting
- 42:43Speaker 1: the Bourne Identity movies, is what he's doing now. That's
- 42:46Speaker 1: what's going on. Have you seen those movies? I have
- 42:51Speaker 1: not watched one second of any Bourne Identity movie. Is
- 42:54Speaker 1: that weird? Have you seen them?
- 42:58Speaker 3: I saw the first one in the theater, but it
- 43:01Speaker 3: was a little aggressive. I've not gone back in on
- 43:06Speaker 3: the Bourne Identity movie.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Does that give you a problem for us? Are you
- 43:08Speaker 1: in fit on the Bourne Identities? Haven't seen a single one. Oh, God.
- 43:12Speaker 3: We.
- 43:13Speaker 1: We have some serious holes in our movie resume on
- 43:15Speaker 1: this show. Oh, crap.
- 43:17Speaker 3: Next spring, when we have time, we're going to have
- 43:19Speaker 3: a whole weekend called Born Again.
- 43:22Speaker 1: I just don't get into the big blockbusters. I just
- 43:24Speaker 1: feel like they're all sizzling no steak. Is that what
- 43:28Speaker 1: I'm trying to say? Or does that make no sense? Anyway.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Maybe all seasoning no steak? No, I want steak. All sizzle,
- 43:35Speaker 1: no substance. I don't know what I'm trying to say.
- 43:36Speaker 1: We call that Willie P's brisket. Oh, dang.
- 43:39Speaker 6: Dang.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Injury updates now in college. Well, Willie P's got hurt
- 43:44Speaker 1: feelings after that, but let's do the college football injury report.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Kamario Taylor's status is up in the air against LSU
- 43:50Speaker 1: with a foot injury. Ryan Coleman Williams is not going
- 43:53Speaker 1: to play, it sounds like, this week for Alabama against Tennessee.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Josh Heupel is not naming a starting quarterback because Brandon
- 44:01Speaker 1: Faison's been hurt, but there was a feeling, Bone, that
- 44:04Speaker 1: the reason why McIntyre started the other day against Arkansas.
- 44:09Speaker 1: It's not just injury for Faison. It's performance-related. But McIntyre
- 44:13Speaker 1: threw a couple of picks. They weren't exactly great in
- 44:15Speaker 1: a close win against Arkansas. So Heupel's got a decision
- 44:18Speaker 1: to make. And is that it? I thought I had
- 44:22Speaker 1: more than that, Bonesy. Oh, Nico Ayame... Ayamali... There we go.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Sound it out, Matt. Now say that in full and
- 44:32Speaker 1: don't stop along the way. Nico Ayame....
- 44:36Speaker 4: How is it?
- 44:37Speaker 1: Aya Maliava? I think that's it. You could have said Niko.
- 44:40Speaker 1: Niko Ai is out indefinitely, maybe for the season at UCLA.
- 44:44Speaker 1: So that's a bummer for them, man, with the 5-0
- 44:47Speaker 1: start to the season that they're having. That's an absolute.
- 44:51Speaker 3: Yeah, he wasn't lighting the world on fire, but they
- 44:54Speaker 3: were winning a lot of games with him. So we'll see. Ultimately,
- 44:57Speaker 3: they're a great defensive team right now. We'll see if
- 45:00Speaker 3: they can keep it going. And by the way, Max,
- 45:02Speaker 3: so you're talking about the Tennessee quarterback situation. That is
- 45:07Speaker 3: the Gamecocks' next opponent after Tennessee. The Gamecocks are off
- 45:11Speaker 3: this week. Tennessee, Bama this weekend. So it's in Williams-Brice.
- 45:17Speaker 3: Said it all summer. I'm not enamored necessarily with who
- 45:19Speaker 3: Tennessee is. We'll see what happens. Yeah, that's going to
- 45:22Speaker 3: be an interesting one. No doubt about it, man. Gamecocks
- 45:25Speaker 3: and State on buys this week at NC State. Our
- 45:29Speaker 3: fans right now are like, thank God. Thank God.
- 45:32Speaker 2: Whereas the Gamecocks, you've got to probably be like, why
- 45:34Speaker 2: are we taking off now?
- 45:35Speaker 1: Where was that buy week a couple weeks ago? Keep
- 45:37Speaker 1: on rolling, baby. Now, what did you want to say, Bone,
- 45:40Speaker 1: about Hypel? Or not Hypo. What the hell am I
- 45:43Speaker 1: talking about?
- 45:44Speaker 3: Summerall. John Summerall said his 13-year-old son left the game
- 45:47Speaker 3: early down there in the swamp on Saturday and sent
- 45:50Speaker 3: a text to his dad as he was leaving. This
- 45:54Speaker 3: is unforgivable. I'm not sure that was forgivable. I'm not
- 45:57Speaker 3: sure this was forgivable.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Yeah, there it is.
- 45:59Speaker 3: That's what my dad said when I actually played in games.
- 46:02Speaker 3: He'd tell the coaches, this is not forgivable. No, you
- 46:05Speaker 3: said it, though, and you know about anybody. Kids, they
- 46:08Speaker 3: don't give a damn about what they say. They just
- 46:11Speaker 3: give you the honest truth. My God, the stuff Caitlin
- 46:13Speaker 3: said about me, it's worse than what Mrs. Mack says
- 46:15Speaker 3: about me, and that's bad. Didn't she ban you from
- 46:19Speaker 3: saying something on her Instagram post or something the other day?
- 46:22Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 46:22Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to comment. I could just like it.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Not even something nice. Because I would embarrass her just
- 46:26Speaker 1: by simply commenting. I walk into the room and ask
- 46:29Speaker 1: her how she's doing. She's like, Dad! You're so cringe.
- 46:32Speaker 1: I'm like, I said hello. What the heck?
- 46:35Speaker 3: You had a great story about, speaking of kids, your
- 46:38Speaker 3: Mac Jr.
- 46:39Speaker 1: Stories are hilarious. What was the one?
- 46:41Speaker 3: He was watching the Duke against Belmont game last week,
- 46:44Speaker 3: and he didn't know. Was it Boomchay Boomchay he wasn't
- 46:46Speaker 3: aware of?
- 46:46Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Literally did not know. I'm like, dude, Boomchay
- 46:49Speaker 1: Boomchay is balling. He's like, who? I'm like, aren't you
- 46:52Speaker 1: a Duke fan? This is like your stud, dude. This
- 46:54Speaker 1: guy's going to, this guy's your biggest recruit. And anyway,
- 46:59Speaker 1: he watched for 15 minutes and declared him better than Boozer.
- 47:04Speaker 1: I said, you didn't know the guy 15 minutes ago.
- 47:08Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, that is like teenage daughters, like
- 47:11Speaker 1: my daughter, Caitlin, and the stuff they say to you.
- 47:13Speaker 1: It's like, it's so like, it's so straightforward and smart-alecky
- 47:19Speaker 1: that it's funny, but then you have these young sports
- 47:22Speaker 1: bros that have big opinions with very little information. You
- 47:26Speaker 1: know what I mean? He just needed 15 minutes to
- 47:28Speaker 1: declare that. And now he's going to post on Instagram
- 47:30Speaker 1: about them. Oh, what? And then they've got to tell
- 47:32Speaker 1: everybody their opinion that's based off 15 minutes of viewing? Hey, Matt,
- 47:35Speaker 1: Big Payne.
- 47:37Speaker 3: Says, hey, it's all good about the Bourne Identity as
- 47:39Speaker 3: long as we've seen the John Wick movies.
- 47:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm out on those two. What about y'all?
