  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ Mac and Bone
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: with you one more hour ago. It's been a fun
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: show today, saluting Luke looking back at his Hall of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Fame speech.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: There will be more out in venetary comedy routine.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We will not get out of here without playing the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: shot he took at Belichick. For those of you that
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: are worked up, because ninety three percent of the bets
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: on Bears and Panthers are on the Bears minus two
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and a half. Bone has come up with a gem here.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Bone.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: The Panthers are getting some respect though for Saturday. Oh yeah,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Panther's favored by one and a half in Buffalo. Not
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the same home field on the had.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Some respect, are they? That is that your theory?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Is it because the fans up there are upset that
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the new stadium doesn't have troughs. That may be Bone,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: there won't be as much of a home field advantage
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: for Saturdays preseason game.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: You're so right, though, it's the only it's really one
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: of the rare places where I don't know if the
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: fans wanted a new, state of the art stadium, they
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: just wanted the old one. They're not gonna like the
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: new amenities are they? They just want to be outside
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Nicole throwing snowball the how many.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Markets would be like, uh, you know, revolting on Twitter
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: because they don't have troughs anymore. That's buffalo, baby, that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: is buffalo for me.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: For JJ Janton to find out that America is betting
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: on the Bears and take that to Dave Canal, so
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: that takes that.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: To the locker room. Oh, this needs to happen. JJ
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: needs to make this happen right now. I don't want
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: that to happen. JJ Jansen is joining us fresh off
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: spending some time in Canton. Uh. At Thursday's game, the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: dramatic win, we saw JJ working his way into the celebration,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and then we saw JJ among the many that got
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: shout outs from Luke during his speech. And JJ's back
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: at practice yesterday and now this morning with the Carolina Panthers.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: He joins us on the Mack and Bone Show. JJ,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: how you doing man? What's going on?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know why anyone would pick the Bears. The
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Panthers have got one straight cover in the twenty twenty
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: sixth season, so allegedly the line was two and a half.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: We obviously win by a three way to go Haines
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: crown him again, and so I don't know, he's just
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: got to keep the good times rolling here and one
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: more cover allegedly. I don't know what any of the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: point spreads are.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Ever, that's true.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Somebody said, don't get JJ in a gambling scandal here.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: We just simply want some bulletin bar material have.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I don't have any interpreters or anything like that, so
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I'm in the clear.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Oh man, how so, how was we saw you get
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the shout out? We played it earlier? You not just you,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: your wife Laura as well for the relationship Luke has
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: with you guys, and you know, at the same time
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: called out you know, Greg and caer Olsen and then
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Ryan Khalil and his wife Like was it almost feels
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: like Luke was like the adopted family member for so
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: many of y'all married Panther players, wasn't.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: He He spent most of his career hanging out with
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: all the married guys. He is, he's certainly become like
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: a younger brother to all of us and certainly appear
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: you know, I think it speaks to my biggest takeaway,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and I'm not exactly sure The exact length of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: speech was called fifteen minutes. He spent fifteen minutes talking
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: about everyone but himself, which is of course the most
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: prototypical Luke's speech. A couple of times I was sitting
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: up there and I was trying to start applause because
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: he was I know, he wrote that speech and probably
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: didn't show anybody, and this was all about thanking all
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the people that meant a lot to him. It never
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: occurred to him that he might have have like applause
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: lines in there. He just wanted to say the things
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: he wanted to say to other people. He was not
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: doing it to perform to the crowd or anything like that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: So a couple of times I tried to get the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: collapse going just to give him a chance to catch
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: his breath right. He was. He wanted to make sure
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: he loved on everybody that had an impact on him.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: And I thought it was a fantastic speech. It was
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the most prototypical Luke Keigley's speech of all time, even
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: finishing with the fan as the most important member of
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: our team and keep pounting. So that was fantastic.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: How special was the weekend overall? For you to be there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: I'm obviously played in the game to begin with, but
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: to be around not only Luke but all the all
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the Hall of famers that you witnessed this weekend.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: It was really special. And look, I had never played
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame game, as you guys know,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: and I was really looking forward to it. I don't
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: think any player is excited about extra preseason games, but
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I thought that was an unbelievable opportunity for all of
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: us to go and play in Canton, Ohio and turned
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: out to be, you know, a fantastic game, and early
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: reports were saying it was better than the Super Bowl.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: So I'm just saying that's what people are saying out
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: there to the Hall of Fame game went up to
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the super Bowl. So certainly, Mike Tariko and Chris Collinsworth
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: on the we all had the energy to match that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: But to be able to be around there, you know, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: take in all the sight, see a bunch of people.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: You know, We've been really fortunate here in Carolina. We've
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: had a lot of Hall of Fame players and you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: get inducted here in the last couple of years. Obviously,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Julius saw Jared Allen. You know, Bill Polling was a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: general manager here. I played for his son at Notre Dame.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Those were just some of the people off the top
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: that that you saw, and you just realized there's so
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: many crossing of paths and guys you've played with and
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: played against that are there celebrating. So that was really special.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: And again I felt like I was, you know, I
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: felt like I was back in like nineteen sixty seven,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Like there's a certain nostalgia small town Ohio football that
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: you get to be a part of for for a
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: small bit kind of remember the roots of this game.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: And and there's a little bit of Americana involved as well.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: So and I found out Joe Thomas has a burgeoning
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: cow farm that all the food got served for the
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: whole weekend from. So that was fast for the informational
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: along the way. Yeah, Hall of Fame Farms. They supplied
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: all the beef for all of the events this week.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And what I spent forty eight hours trying to figure
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: out if Joe Thomas named the farm Hall of Fame
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Farms before or after he was in the Hall of Fame,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: because it was like the easiest lock of all times
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: we were just trying to figure all that out. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: there was a lot of fascinating things happening in and
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: around beyond just Luke and celebrating his awesome career and accomplishments.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Did you meet any Hall of famers out in the
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: wild that you hadn't met before that you thought, wow,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I can't believe that so and so, or of talking
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: to so and so.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Well, it was. It was really cool because obviously four
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: of the five guys I played against we had you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I know Adam from playing him so many times, drew
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: from playing those guys. But I was a huge eighties
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: forty nine Ers fan, and so Roger Craig was my
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: favorite running back growing up. And because of the order
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: of the speeches, Roger Craig was right after Luke. So
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: when they came back to take pictures with Roger, there
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: were all the forty nine ers. It was too Montana
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: who was my favorite quarterback growing up, Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Eddie de Bartolo. I was like, Holy smokes, Like I
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: felt like I was seven years old. I didn't go
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: up and say anything to anyone. I wasn't. You know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: there's so many things going on and I was there
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: to support Luke, so I did not want to get
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you know, lost in the crowd because I was fan
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: boying the eighties forty nine ers. But that was really
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: that was really special. And like I was at the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: gold Jack at dinner, I was sitting next to Coach
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Rivera and all the all the eighties Bears defensive players
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: that he played with, and you could see like Clyde
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: welling up as they're introducing you know, like Jimbo Covert
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: and and Mike Singletary and all the like. It was
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: just cool because everyone got taken back to their childhood
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: or their playing days and that was really special to
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: be in and around those guys while that was happening.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: That was that was cool.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: We're talking to JJ Jansen about his weekend and and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: see and his great friend and so many of our
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: favorite linebacker Luke Keigley go into the Hall of Fame.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So you had to be back Sunday morning. Y'all were
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: practicing yesterday at ten am. But like you say, did
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you stay there through the whole weekend, Like did you
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: get some partying in with Luke and Greg and the boys,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And did you guys get to actually tell Luke how
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: great he was at any pointer? Did Luke just keep
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: through every bit of partying, just talk about everybody else?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: You know exactly, you know exactly how that went right.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: You understand that you can't give a compliment to Luke
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: without him either running away or giving you three more
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: compliments back. So we had a great time. You know
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: what was really special. I felt like it was a
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: football wedding, right, Like we were all there to celebrate him.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: But in the meantime, because of his career and accomplishments
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: as a player, you got to go also see all
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: of your former teammates, right. I saw aj Klein and
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: David Mayo and Colin Colin Jones, and I saw Shack,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And I saw Marty Hernie and Dave Gettleman and Brandon Bean,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: and I saw all of these people that we did
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: all these cool things with as a team, those teammates
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: and those guys. You know, Cam was there. I got
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: to catch up with cam Aton. Like that was what
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: was so special. Because of what Luke did on the field,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: we got to all get back together for a meaningful
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: couple of days celebrate what we did together as a team.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Certainly obviously celebrate Luke. But that was really really special
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: about that whole process is because of one man's accomplishments,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the team gets to celebrate as well, which is of
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: course Luke wouldn't have it any other way. You know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that's just how it goes.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I need to know. I need to know. That's awesome. Though,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: by the way that sounds, I didn't play the ninety
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: five Hall of Fame game. Stop that with the pack.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: How dare you text?
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Now? No, there was a there was. Bob Christian was
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: the fullback. He wore forty four before me. I think
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: he had the first touchdown. He did. Be sure forty
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: four score before anything.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Else you did. And I thought, and I thought, he's
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: he only forty four before you.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I thought forty four should have gotten the ball down
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: by the goal line on on Thursday.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: But I'll take that up with coach.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, you were a mid season four man up and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: down the field. Oh yeah, you covered.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you noticing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that first punt you got a lot of TV.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Time j J. Well, I'll tell you what. The Rochelle
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: punched the ball out. I thought, oh my god, what second,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm going to fumble recovery in the
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame there. Oh pretty good?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Do you know that you feeling? Did you hear them?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Did you hear they talked about you? And they'll broadcast
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: at one point?
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: No? I didn't.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Okay, it was when you were over there.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You and Sam Martin were there, I think because y'all
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: were pinned at the one foot line or whatever, and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you thought, oh crap, we might have to be stapping
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and punting right down here at our own end zone.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: And then Tremayne draws the PI and they were talking
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: about how you and Sam were excited, especially Sam they
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: didn't have to punt from like the complete back of
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the end zone.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. So we even had that meeting two days
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: before the game. Our sports teams coach Tracy Smith was like, Hey,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: we're going to install it just in case we need to.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Here's all of our rules and stuff. He goes it
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: happened so infrequently, and then of course, like it was
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: two minutes into the game and Sam and ire like,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: oh my god, here we go. So yes, we were
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: very happy that Kenny was able to throw that go ball,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: and honestly, the corner basically treated it like it was
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: a gunner rep he shoved him out abound. It was
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the easiest PI and so I was standing right next
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to Bryce and we were high five in each other.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: That was That was a big play, not just for
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: the offense but for the punt guys. We were more
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: than happy for ce Bt go and make a good
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: play there on the sideline.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: How awesome was it to play in that game? Yeah,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: because normally Hall of Fame games, we can't wait for
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: them to end. With this one, even if he didn't
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: have rooting interest, that was a pretty awesome game to do,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: either to watch or be a part of, wasn't it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: It was fantastic And look, so much of our team's
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: identity came out in that game. We've talked about in
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the past, we've got five pillars and the last is finish,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: And you know, sometimes we were sort of laughing, like
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: we've had some preseason games here in the last three
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: years where maybe we're down seventeen, but instead of taking
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: a knee, we're going to go drive and try to
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: score to end the game, and we're all celebrating on
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the sidelines. What's with these Panthers, Like they're weird, Like
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: they just lost a preseason game and they're like celebrating
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: on the field. That's part of who we are. And
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: so now you know it's getting put into place. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: one of the cool parts is like that running off
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the sidelines. That is our identity. So it doesn't matter
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: that those guys for the most part that we're on
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: the field haven't been here for very long. A lot
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: of rookies and young players like, that's our team out
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: there on the field, and certainly Haynes was fantastic in
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: that last drive of a couple of scrambles. But that's us.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: That's our guys. It's not guys trying to make the team.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Those are Panthers out on the field. And so that
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: was a fun way to finish and look, like I said,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: people are saying it's better than the Super Bowl. So
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: just just if we can keep that going for at
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: least other week until we go to Buffalo, I think
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: you guys should keep pushing that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: We were we were on the big the cover and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the cover too you want against.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: And we hit the over almost all by ourselves. So
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: that was a that was a good thing.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: There you go. Not that J follow that stuff. I
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: don't follow that stuff.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: JJ Jansen hanging with us after his weekend in Canton
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: with Luke and so many of his friends from so
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: many years here with the Panthers. All right, So I
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: read so many different articles about Luke over the last week.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Darren Gant had so many freaking good ones. There was
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: one in there and I actually forget what the full
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: story is, but it includes it includes your wife telling
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you at some point, why can't you why can't you
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: be more like Luke? I need to I need to
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: know what was that about again? And did that hurt
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: or did you say you know what? I should strive
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to be more like Luke? I don't blame her.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: So, first of all, Darren's fingers are going to fall off.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: He's been hyping for like four months straight so between
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: so that guy needs to break as much as Luke
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: needs a break. If I remember correctly, I think I
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: think the story that was at McCaffrey's wedding, right, So,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: so Luke was there, Uh, you know, a single Sam
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Darnold had a girlfriend but he was single. So there
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: was a couple like single guys moving around and everyone
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: was just a little uncomfortable. The funny thing about McCaffrey's
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: wedding is a little bit like the Taylor Swift wedding.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: I think all of us sort of thought, how did
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: we get an invite to this super like elite wedding.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: So we were all there and at one point, though, like,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I got distracted and I was sort of wandering off. Guys,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: it's not going to shock you that I found people
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: to talk to and just sort of ended up wandering
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: away from whatever the festivities were. And Laura was going
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: down I think, going down the stairs, and Luke was
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: there to help her and give her a lending hand
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: and was very gentlemanly and very chivalrous. And she came
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: back and she goes, where did you go? And I
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: said one thing along the lines of sorry, I got distracted,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, I wandered away when I was
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: talking to someone. She goes, Luke had to help me
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: down the stairs. He was very can you please be
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: more like Luke? Can you just kind of keep an
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: eye on me here? I was like, you're right, we
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: should all strive to be more like Luke more often. So,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: uh no, I I did not. I did not take
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: any offense to that I was, but I was reminded
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: that that maybe at a wedding, when everyone's in nice
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: dresses and everyone's you know, in their in their best attire,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I should probably be around my wife a little bit
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: more to help her down the stairs or or something
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: like that, and get a little bit lost, left lost
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: in conversation, just randomly wandering around. So it's it's an
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: area of growth for me. But again, we all, we
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: all can learn a lot from Luke.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: That's one of my dogs during marriage. God rest her
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: soul was named after Klee.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I like.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: That was a female dog named after lu Love it
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: you like that? Okay?
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: We can all learn things from Look, just be humble,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: give credit to others, even if you're the best. You know,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: you know, open doors for for grandma's, you know, help
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: help women when when they've got high heels on, help
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: them downstairs. We can all learn his men more things
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: from Luke Keithley.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And he's and he's handsome as hell. He makes us
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: all look bad.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: I feel like he's he's he's very handsome and my gosh,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: he can he can sit up a run in the
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: b gap. Hell, yeah, you know two things. That's basically
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: a complete man.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Hell, yeah, I love it. I love it seven ago,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: exactly seven O four numbers says there is no way.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: JJ's wife is the only one that has at least thought,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: if not said, why can't you be like Luke Keikley
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to her husband said at the back four there you go.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Look, I mean we we we can all say this
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: isn't just a husband and white thing. We are all
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: saying this to all men are saying this the other men.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Women are saying this to other women. Luke is the
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Luke is the gold standard for just the complete human beings.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: So of course, if you were listening to this, he'd
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: be he'd be dying, he'd be sweating already, he'd be
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: so nervous that that we're heaping so much praise. But
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: again for a man that, for eight years ago never
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: once accepted a single outs of praise, I'm okay for
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: a few for a few weeks and getting uncomfortable with
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: the amount of love and attention he's getting.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I love it all right.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: So your biggest question before we let you go, did
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: wedding Greg show up when y'all were partying this week?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Did he turn it up like he did at McCaffrey's wedding.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I had I had to leave a little earlier,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: like you said, I had to get back to practice.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: So I was there for most of the night wedding.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Greg was not as on. I think there was a
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: First of all, there was a lot of people around
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: and when I left, all basically every Hall of Famer
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: from the University of Miami was there and Luke or
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Greg was holding court with a bunch of the young
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: boys in attendance. They were all playing football, I think,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: trying to explain to them what real football was like,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: using the U as the gold standard. So I don't
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: think he got turned up as much, kind of turned
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: into coach Greg in the middle of the party to
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: make sure all these young boys understood what was going on.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: So it was a little bit of it was sort
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: of half wedding Greg, but it was it was very
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: much coach Greg as well. So again the many personalities,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: the many angles of h Greg Olten showed up, and
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: certainly he forgets sometimes that he started at Notre Dame.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: He forgets that he's also one of us. We were
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: literally we were sitting, we were sitting at the gold
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Jacket inner and as they were announcing players, me, him
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and Khalil kept reminding each other where all the different
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: guys were from. Hey, where'd that guy go to school?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Where that guy? There was a lot of Miami USC
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: and Notre Dame guys. So we were all we all
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: felt pretty good about ourselves.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I bet, did you recognize Ryan Coyle because we don't anymore.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: So he was sitting next to me, so I had
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I had. The guy started talking, is like, your voice
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: sounds like Ryan, and so we figured that that one.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: That one out pretty good.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: That's crazy how different he looks. Well will end this JJ.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: He's keeping it tight, He's he's gone more on the
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Jordan growth angle. There's no offensive lineman is three hundred pounds.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: They're all either two hundred or four hundred, and we
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: have to wait till after their career ends to figure
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: out which side they're going to. Ryan went. Ryan went
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: much the way of Jordan. He went down very very quickly.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: He just to show him how hard they must have
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to work to keep that weight on. Man, You know
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: what I mean, It's not natural for them at all.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: There are there are there are some guys that three
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: hundred is not hard to keep it's it's staying away
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: from four hundred. But for the most of them, for
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: most of them, these guys are outstanding athletes. So they
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: played tight end, they played you know, d end in
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: high school, and they you know, they were trim guys.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: And they're like, hey, you're on the offensive line. You're
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: strong year athletic. And so they're eating a lot of
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: peanut butter and jelly sandwich, are trying to keep themselves up.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: It makes sense, that makes sense.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: We will end this by letting you know that there
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: is a fan out there by the name of Kannapolis
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Man who wants to start the movement to get JJ
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Janssen in the Hall of Fame in Canton. All right,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you his number. You guys can start
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: a campaign together, ja ja get the first long snapper.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Needs to happen, baby.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Why, well, I really appreciate that. I don't think a
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: self funded campaign from a long snapper is getting a
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: long snapper in the Hall of Fame. So, you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I do have to I have to tell you this
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: quick story. So they were giving away awards and like
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame inductions for other things like contributors and
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: one of them was the guy that basically created statistics
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: in the NFL in like the nineteen forties. And Greg
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: was like, this is your favorite Hall of Famer, isn't it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I said, yeah, this guy his name was his name
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: was Seymour, like the MoU Like that was his name,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Like it literally sounded almost made up. But he like
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: he was like a founding member of the Elias Sports Bureau.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: And Greg looked at me and goes, this guy means
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: more to you than Luca. I was like, basically like
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: he jump you did?
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Like that was the oh Man.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Needless to say, there's room for all of us at
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: the table, but I think long Snapper might have have
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a way ahead of us.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: All Right, brother, Hey you got a fan of you
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: got fans here in US and Cannapolis. Man on the
• 21:12

• 22:37
  Speaker 1: college football on the Mack and Bone Show. We were
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: talking during one of the breaks that we're talking about.

• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Connorroghera's stuff and he joins us here on the Mac
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and Bone Show. Connor, what's going I assume you are
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: ready for actual football and not just political news in
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: court cases.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: What's going on? Brother?
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Goodness gracious, I mean, if I never hear the words
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: protect college sports again, that'd be just great. I'd be
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: fine with that. I'm so relieved that this is not
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: going to be, you know, somebody that we're gonna have
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: to deal with until at least September. Like this is
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: this is a football month in which there are actual
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: games being played, and somebody needs to get Ross Ellender
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: to a football game, because, my goodness, gracious, I think
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: he spent his entire offseason in Washington. Credit to Ross,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: but I mean, my goodness, Like, let's let's talk about
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: the things that are actually going to matter in twenty twenty.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: If you asked Ross right now, hey, what do you
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: think about the SEC this year, he'd be like, oh, what,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: like the game's coming up?
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Cross? We had games coming up?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: I saw so I saw like, I don't know Ross
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: like well enough to like go up to him and
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: like have that conversation. But I saw him at SEC
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: media days very briefly, and I thought to myself, like, hey,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: like you still cover football right like this, And I
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: realized the sport is going in such a different direction
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: with all that, and his breaking news has been phenomenal
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: what he's provided.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: But oh, my.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Goodness, feel for that poor guy.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: I feel to a press box I.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Heard the contra asked about the SEC said, you mean
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the security is an exchange commission. Oh God, save him,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: good one, save him. And by the way, if that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: stuff goes back to d C when they reconvene in September,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: please tell me we're going to ignore it and just
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: talk about football. I noticed something that you've tweeted. Bone
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: with Bone brought this up during the break that Bruce
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Feldman did the UH on the in the Athletic his
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: usual freaks list it just for every season, and there
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: it is UH, Nick Harbor right there at the top
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: of this list. And you quote tweeted this and said
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he's a three time winner of the Top Freaking College Football.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: It seems like gradually he's become more of a football
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: player to go with that track star and freak athlete.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: What do you think about the chances of him putting
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: it together and what do you think about the chances
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of sellers in South Carolina bouncing back this year?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about that?
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's tricky because what he is as a physical
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: specimen does not align with reality of what he is
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: as a football player. And I don't know that those
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: two things are ever going to fully align with one another.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: They might kind of in instances here and there, like
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: the play that everybody was talking about against A and
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: M last year where he had a runaway touchdown and
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: they were talking about it because of his interaction the
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: tunnel with the cops and all that stuff, like the
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: lost in the shuffle part of that play is Nick
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: harbor Man. When you get him in space, it is
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: so special to see. And you know, talking with him
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: sec media days, it's easy to forget that this is
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: someone who just for the first time this offseason, got
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: a full spring playing football and didn't do the track thing.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: And so he talked about what that progression has been like,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: learning what it's like to be a true route runner
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: and having to read defenses. He understands that now in
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: a better way than he ever has been able to before,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: and I think in this day and age, we need
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: to be reminded that you can have all of those
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: abilities and be able to beat someone off the block
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: and the sec Everybody and their mother knows who Nick
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Harver is. Like when he steps on the field, They're like, well, well,
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: he got to make a plan for that guy, and
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: they have. So I think he's going to be able
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: to put it together and continue to do what he
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: did last year, which is be the go to guy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: And I think this is a bounced back type of season.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Whether or not that's going to be doubling the winshtle
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: getting to eight and four in the regular season, that
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: might be a little bit tougher, but man, I think
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: he's going to be part of a renewed sense of
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: urgency that that offense is going to have, especially now
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: with Kendall Brile's on board.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Conrad, you can imagine we focused a lot on clem
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: here in their expectations and where there are as a program,
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: but they're facing one of the most fascinating teams in
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: all of college football Week one, and that's Lane Kiffin's
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: LSU Tigers. What do you think about LSU year one
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: under Kiffin? Could they be a playoff team already?
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: They could be. I mean they're a wild card. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: don't have them making the college football Playoff. And I
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: think it's in part because I have a lot of
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: questions about Sam Levitt. I think that too many people
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: have overlooked the Liz Frank entry that he's coming off of,
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: and they just said, oh, well, you know, Lane Kiff
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: and Charlie West Junior running a system, their quarterback is
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: going to be just fine. It's always fine. I think
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: we tend to forget that year one of Matt Crow
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: and twenty twenty at Old Miss was a lot more
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: up and down and he had those grenade type games.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: I think Year one of Jackson Dart in twenty twenty
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: two was a bit up and down and he also
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: had those grenade type games. And Sam Levitt did not
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: get the benefit of having the spring of being able
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: to actually be out there physically. And you can tell
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: me you got all the mental reps in the world,
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: I don't care. You need to be out there in
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: that system, running that tempo in order to master it
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: and I don't know that he's a finished product. So
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: I have questions about this LSU team. I think in
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: a given week they can look the part, but I
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: think they're gonna be a little bit more all over
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: the place in what we're probably projecting in the preseason,
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: and maybe that could that could surface in Week one
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: and we could be like, wait a minute, I thought
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: LSU's Week one issues were just the byproduct of Brian Kelly.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: You mean to tell me this is this could be
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: a Laane Kiffen thing too. Like if they're in a
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: dogfight against Clemson in that opener, it's not gonna surprise me.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Mmm. Interesting. Interesting.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: There you go, Tiger fans, there's a little something for
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you because I've been on here to high it's a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: high points spread. It's eleven and a half. Yeah, I've
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: been You've got that. I've been on here telling him
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: for months. They're going to Tiger fans go lose by
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: double digits, but I always tell them that I still
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: think Clemson will be better than last year, even with
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: less talent. Seven and six feels like I don't know.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I hope I don't jinxt the Tigers and Dabbo here,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: but it feels to me Connor like a low point
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: for him. I feel like they will bounce back, But
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I also don't I think like eight or nine wins.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think double digits like the old standard. What like,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: what are your expectations for this Clemson team this year?
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Whenever I try and think positive thoughts about Clemson, I
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: have this. It's like a shot collar around my neck,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: and it's triggered every time I think about Chad Morris
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: and the fact that Dabo brought back Chad Morris is
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: the answer to his questions that he is facing. And
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: I don't tell Dabo that he's facing any questions. And
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: what will be his lowest preseason ranking in fifteen years,
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: he's not going to care about that. He's probably going
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: to conveniently ignore the fact that his team has not
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: had a better ranking, you know, in terms of where
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: it's finishing the AP pool compared to where it's started
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: since twenty twenty, like, actually it's even before that, it's
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: twenty eighteen, come to think of it. But don't tell
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: Clemson any of those things, because we're all is wrong
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: about them, and Dabo still knows what he's doing, and
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: he didn't just ask Garrett Riley to run Chad Morris offense.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: No, that's what he did.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: And I don't necessarily think that Clempson is also going
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: to be in the college football playoff conversation. After last year,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: Dabo with everything he could have ever wanted. He had
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: all the right pieces in place, with the team that
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: was number one in the country and percentage of returning production.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: It was supposed to be the Toby Keith, how do
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: you like me now return to prominence for Dabo Sweeney.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: Instead it was the other Toby Keith. It was I
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: ain't as good as I once was, and I think
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: problem for a guy that's being paid the money that
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: he's being paid. So no, I think Dabo has lost
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: his fastball. It's all change ups that anybody can hit
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: out of the park, and I think this Chad Morris
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: move is a good reflection of that.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Connor of the two teams that are not part of
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: the Big ten in the SEC that gut grouped in
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: with the national title contenders, that being Notre Dame Miami.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Do you have a lean on which one of those
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: two you like more entering the season or is it
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: possible that they end up at as potentially the two
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: best teams at the end of this thing.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Notre Dame has a slight edge. I
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: mean you talk about you know, last year Clempson was
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: number one in the inn the country and Bill Connolly's
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: percentage of returning production. This year, it's Notre Dame. Notre
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: Dame in theory has the biggest question marks surrounding the
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: most replaceable position, which is the running back position, albeit
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: with two first rounders in Jeremiah Love and Jadarian Price.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: But if you look at the way that Mike Denbrock
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: has typically run the football, he's just kind of figured
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: it out. And I think Ayinis Williams can kind of
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: be that answer. And CJ. Carr taking that next step
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: in his game and being the guy that you want
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: when the bullets are flying. That's going to determine the
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: upside of this. And then it being able to get
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: that receiver room healthy, which has a lot of options.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: To me, that's going to really determine what Notre Dame
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: does in the playoff, which it's a four gone conclusion
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: that they're getting there. Guys like I have not seen
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: to this point a team with preseason odds that like
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: mine's eight hundred. The way that Notre Dame has, like,
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: it's just a favorable path in every possible way, with
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: three real games that could potentially push them, and then
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: nine other games where you're just like, yeah, they're gonna
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: win by four touchdowns. So they have the path, they
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: have the quarterback, and they have coach that's made a
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: run in the college ball playoff and Marcus Freeman, and
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: I kind of wonder with him this year, is he
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: going to follow the twenty twenty three Michigan script, the
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Jim Harbaugh path of winning a national championship and fading
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: off into the NFL sunset. Having the Washington commander's job
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: open up, he brings Mike Denbrock Jaden Daniels, former college
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: offensive coordinator, to run that offense, and he takes over there.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: That's kind of my bull prediction for the Irish, even
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: though I don't have him winning the national championship. I
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: have Oregon doing that, but they have all the pieces
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: in place to be able to get that done.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Good interesting stuff there. What do you think about Miami
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: as a national title contender? Because I feel like they
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and Notre Dame, I feel like both of those schools
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: might be top two or you know, maybe top three
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: schools in the country before it's over.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: I guess that I thought you talk about not today,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I said, which one does he like more of those
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: two contentions?
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Let's go okay, heaven, let me rephrase this. I'm sorry
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: for my friend here, Connor clogged the ears, and let
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: me rephrase this. What do you think about Miami, sir?
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Look, hey, we're all it's early season four.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: We're all good.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: We're it's still August. We're not doing this in September.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: It's just August.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: We're fine. No, I would never do this in September.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Connor never right.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: For Miami's path is good. It's it's look the way
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: that it sets up in the AEC. If they can't
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: win the ACC, now just go back. They just could
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: be an independent just be an independent man, because everything
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: that you could want is right there in front of you.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: And what's not there in front of you is matchups
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: against Louisville and SMU, the two teams that beat you
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: last year. You don't even have to face them. So
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: to me, Miami, even though they've got the road game
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: against Notre Dame like their path is so good. Darien
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Mensa is the real deal. He's already won an AEC championship, Malachai,
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Tony Mark Fletcher Junior. The skill players are really good.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: But the big question that everybody's asking about this team
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: is what's it going to look like on the defensive line. Well, yes,
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: you have to replace Ruben bay in a key mesidor
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: these guys who were freaks, and we're so so good.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: But Damon Wilson is second coming over from a zoo.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Keep an eye on him. Justin Scott, that's a guy
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: in the middle of that of that defensive line that
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: is going to be doing very Mesador like things. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: it's still Jason Taylor running that defensive line. Like, I
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: just don't have the same sort of questions even though
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: I have so much respect for Baine and Mesador. So yeah,
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: I think Miami is going to still be very much
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: part of the mix. Like if they're going ten and
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: two even this year, I think that would be one
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: of the bigger storylines of college football. I think Mario
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: chris Ball has kind of gotten over some of the
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: mental hurdle of those big time games, like going on
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: that run last year, I think did a lot for
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: him and his confidence. So yeah, I'm a believer that
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Miami can make a deep run, not win a national championship,
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: but certainly be a part of that that picture late
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: in the season.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: There you go. That's all I wanted. That's all I wanted. Bow,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Clearly? Do you want him
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: line death on Miami?
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: I got.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he just ignored the I am you part of
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the question.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I was upset by it, of course I heard the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: question was it wasn't you zoning out? All right? I
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: may have just listened to Connor and not you Bone.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: That may have just happened there, all right. Anyway, Connor Ogara,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: if you want to listen to him, all right, and
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: you don't want to ignore things like I just did. There,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: listen to Connor ogeara the OG Kickoff with Next Round Live.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Easy to get to go to YouTube and search for
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the OG Kickoff. Check out his great college football programming.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Connor appreciate you, brother, gentlemen.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it, all right.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: You take it easy, there you go. Connor Ocare joined
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: us on the back of Bone show. Bon's eyes lit
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: up when he was able to hit me for what
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: we have. I've gotten you for so many times. Bones,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I gave you a damn opening. I wouldn't let it go,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: but I had to. I thought it was a notre
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: dame question.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Damn all right. I had to seize the moment. Right here.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: We are like an old married couple, aren't We don't
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: even listen to each other, and how.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: We exactly when we come back? It's the wrap up
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: on sports RADIOFZ.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: I would repeat those last few statements about coach Bill
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: Belichick as well. Thank you for demanding excellence every single day.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: Your preparation, discipline, and attention to detail shaped far more
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: than my football career. Unfortunately, Bill couldn't make it here today.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: There's a lot going on at UNC right now. He
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: may be on a recruiting trip right now, looking for
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: the next Lawrence Taylor. I thought it was because training
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: camp had already started, but in truth, it's because he's
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: judging its girlfriend's cheerleading competition.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Got him. Oh those jokes, those jokes never miss man,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: those jokes never missed.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Milichick was in the crowd laughing, Oh, that's right. He
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: didn't show up for adamnitary No, he.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Didn't, which might be part of the reason why neither
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: needed Brady or was Preddy there. Brady was not there,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: was not there. No, Okay, maybe that's why they were
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: getting zingers. Oh poort, Peyton Man had got a forehead joking.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: He was sitting right there smiling. Adam Minitary was savage man,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: just savage. Oh my goodness. Anyway, Netflix, Netflix is going
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: to hire him to do some roasts after that.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Performed every second of it. Who knew, Man, I had
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: no idea, all right, anyway, So you got to think
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: about it. It's a weird.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: It's probably a military career. Got going with Parcels, then
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: into Belichick, but he spent more time as the heated
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: rival to Belichick that he did actually with him.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he was. He was with any WITHINNY for
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: fourteen years.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: And that's a good That's more than New England, which
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: is he That's why he's more of a cult in
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: his mind.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: He had Carly Ursay you know, as his presenter.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: So you're right.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: It is an interesting dynamic, there no doubt about it.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Before freaking Super bowls more field goals and points than anybody.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Man's got a resume, and a man can do some
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: comedy as well. All right, thanks to everybody for hanging

• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Speaking of podcasts, we always laugh at every day. It
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: feels like there's an athlete of the past that either
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: has a story or says something on a podcast that
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: we were like, where did where did Lance Stevenson come from?
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden today, Mack, he's talking about the
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: one regret he has in his career. Can you imagine
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: what that is? Wonder what that might be?
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: He gets Hugger for basketball after he signed to Charlon Morton.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought it was just going to be flat
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: out signing with He.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Was more new his houses and it's cars, and he
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: didn't really care about basketball once.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: He signed Charlie, Oh my god.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: We'll always have that game winner though, when you stood
• 39:27

• 39:29
  Speaker 2: We will always have that, baby, all right, let's to
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: know you. We accept your apology.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Tonight, in the world of sports, Charlotte f C will
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: play tomorrow in their League's Cup finale. They are right
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: now tie with Austin on gold differential for first place
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: among the MLS teams. They'll play Pachuca tomorrow at the Bank. Tonight,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Braves Mets, Little Braves, Mets. In your life tonight fit Daddy.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Great?
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Where did the guy go that was dressing like a
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: groundscrew member this year?
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: And Met's tough? He put that away.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Man feels like, all right, let's get to some of
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the texts and see what we have here. Seven four, five, seven, nine,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: six ten. Uh, we have a text, says man that
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: dude just shredded Dabbo and Clemson. Clemson is so bad.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Tiger Smalls is now the best Tiger in the Carolinas.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Little Tiger Smalls love too. He had been, he is.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: We have fans here, he has been, but they must
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: they must be at the wrong studio they work here.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Tiger Smalls man the all time score goal scoring leader
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: in FC history in the League's Cup. How about that
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: he turns it up for this competition, daddy? Yes, all right,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: let's see what else we have to Bob's text. Maggot
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: read it in full, trying to understand what he's talking about.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: What's he saying? What's he got going on there?
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Just first of all, he he's had so many misspellings, said,
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: I don't even know what's going on today. Just so
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: you guys know, I am wanted to the theorists that
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think Haynes King spelled wrong, is actually injured.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: And Dave Tepper is trying to save Kyle Pitt's roster
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: spot in Bryce Young's career.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: How did Kyle pitts cadour high? Yeah, we're gonna need
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: an interpreter on that one.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I do think there's a chance Haines King ends up
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: on ir, which would be convenient because you don't expose
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: him to another team taking him away. I just don't
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: think you would start the stash move right now. I
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: think you would let him play the preseason and develop,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: and then you would put them in your reserve. As
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: far as how Kyle Pitch is involved, I got nothing.
