- 1:08Speaker 4: you feel better than you felt on Saturday. We'll talk
- 1:10Speaker 4: about that here today on the show. A lot of
- 1:12Speaker 4: NFL news here off the jump, including a feisty Baker Mayfield.
- 1:18Speaker 4: We will get to that here momentarily. We also have
- 1:22Speaker 4: a bunch of college stuff to get into, including the
- 1:24Speaker 4: tar Heels choosing their starting quarterback. Evidently, we also have
- 1:30Speaker 4: more media love for Leonoris Sellers they have not quit
- 1:35Speaker 4: this man about that. They have not quit Leonori's sellers,
- 1:38Speaker 4: nor do I think they should. But anyway, that's coming
- 1:41Speaker 4: up this hour here on the Mac and Bone Show,
- 1:44Speaker 4: and Luke Keikley gets a fourteenth job. My goodness, this
- 1:48Speaker 4: man is busy. Man, it's gonna have a lot of
- 1:50Speaker 4: w Two's how he start tax season? Is he still
- 1:53Speaker 4: a running CPI I don't understand how to work and
- 1:56Speaker 4: I forgot about that one too, man. But anyway, so
- 1:59Speaker 4: we got a lot of enough to get into here
- 2:01Speaker 4: on the Mac and Bone Show. We got Charlotte f
- 2:05Speaker 4: C in action tonight in Toronto. It's not necessarily like
- 2:10Speaker 4: we're always we always know what we're getting on the
- 2:13Speaker 4: road from these boys. But Toronto on Saturday won their
- 2:16Speaker 4: first game Bone in thirteen matches. So come on, go
- 2:20Speaker 4: up there and get this thing done. And this is
- 2:23Speaker 4: a stretch too where Charlotte f C. I think, plays
- 2:25Speaker 4: three of the worst four in the East Bone in
- 2:27Speaker 4: the next five games. So I'm still a little nervous
- 2:31Speaker 4: about tonight, but there's a chance to do something tonight.
- 2:35Speaker 4: Bone Man, did you get in the right car this morning?
- 2:38Speaker 4: Tell us you made some progress.
- 2:40Speaker 1: It was a little nervy, but I did. When I
- 2:42Speaker 1: approached said vehicle, I noticed that indeed it was mine.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Mac.
- 2:48Speaker 1: You caused a little bit of a commotion yesterday, I
- 2:52Speaker 1: think with you talked about sarcasm going wrong on the
- 2:55Speaker 1: promo yesterday for the show, did you promote Fitty and
- 2:58Speaker 1: I doing ok Lahoma drills? Because Bailey and Smoke, I
- 3:04Speaker 1: think we're breaking that down like we really were doing
- 3:07Speaker 1: drills we could do it, which led to other people
- 3:09Speaker 1: asking what are we doing today on the show, And
- 3:11Speaker 1: then I started to think, oh, no, is that really happening?
- 3:14Speaker 1: So I wore I I kind of stretched out a
- 3:18Speaker 1: little bit this morning. We could put you in that
- 3:19Speaker 1: hallway right out there.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Man, Oh, that'd be amazing video, wouldn't it amazing video?
- 3:25Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Fitdy's got that that low center
- 3:27Speaker 1: of gravity though, with those those calves, Fitty's gonna Fiddy's
- 3:31Speaker 1: gonna beat me in that day. I think it's gotta
- 3:36Speaker 1: be done, baby. In honor of joint practice day, sorry.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Guys, I cannot go today. I am suffering from an
- 3:41Speaker 3: injury called trunk discomfort.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's also what no one Aeronado had the
- 3:47Speaker 1: other day. He left the game with a hurt trunk.
- 3:49Speaker 1: What we saw were talking trees here? What are we
- 3:54Speaker 1: talking about?
- 3:54Speaker 3: Fat?
- 3:54Speaker 1: Even back tweeted out, no one Aeronado has left the
- 3:57Speaker 1: game with trunk discomfort. So got the same thing. What's
- 4:01Speaker 1: going on with you, Fitty?
- 4:02Speaker 3: It's not really something I can describe. It's only something
- 4:06Speaker 3: I can show you.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I'm sorry you got some rashes or something. You start
- 4:11Speaker 1: showing your trunk got to hr.
- 4:14Speaker 4: I hope you're talking about the trump. I hope you're
- 4:16Speaker 4: talking about the trunk of a car or something. I
- 4:19Speaker 4: hope this isn't what I'm thinking what happened to you?
- 4:23Speaker 3: I just want to talk about someone having trunk and discomfort.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I'm fine.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Oh if you want to line me and bone up
- 4:28Speaker 3: in the hallway, I'll relive my glory days in seventh grade.
- 4:31Speaker 3: I was undefeated in the Oklahoma drow in seventh grade.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I would love to see it. Man you were doing
- 4:37Speaker 1: Oklahoma was in seventh grade? Oh yeah, everything happened in
- 4:42Speaker 1: one year for this man.
- 4:43Speaker 4: This guy, he was the greatest, most versatile seventh grade athlete.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Wassus more? Jim Jim Thorpe.
- 4:50Speaker 4: All right, So anyway I feel like I feel like,
- 4:53Speaker 4: I didn't get the sarcasm there, Bone a fitty and
- 4:56Speaker 4: his fake I.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Don't the illness. I don't think anyone's ever done oklaholma
- 4:59Speaker 1: was it? Hey do let's do it, baby, let's do it.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Let's get it on out there. That would be you
- 5:04Speaker 1: imagine what that would what that video would do. That
- 5:06Speaker 1: video would be popping. Can we get p man in
- 5:08Speaker 1: here for an Oklahoma drill? God, I'd love to Missouri drills. Yeah, Sweater,
- 5:18Speaker 1: that's the noisill here as he cans tackle. He can't
- 5:20Speaker 1: do Oklahoma drilled on throw code. You kidding me? Oh man?
- 5:23Speaker 4: All right, anyway, let's get let's get focused, let's get
- 5:25Speaker 4: locked in. So Panthers Jags today, I don't know for
- 5:29Speaker 4: sure who's playing, but I really hope Damian Lewis and
- 5:33Speaker 4: Rob Hone are practice in a bit. I really hope
- 5:35Speaker 4: that Derek Brown does, but I don't left for sure.
- 5:37Speaker 4: I do know the Jaguars have a ton of offensive
- 5:40Speaker 4: line injuries, so that is kind of part of the
- 5:43Speaker 4: subplot to today's UH practice as well. But these next
- 5:48Speaker 4: three days Bone are going to be really big in
- 5:51Speaker 4: terms of I think how we feel about this team's preseason,
- 5:55Speaker 4: How do they fare today? What are the reports coming
- 5:57Speaker 4: out of this practice? And then what what do they
- 6:00Speaker 4: What do the starters do when they get in there
- 6:02Speaker 4: on Friday?
- 6:03Speaker 1: Yeah, because if they get bludgeoned or don't look the
- 6:06Speaker 1: part that we think they should in the joint session
- 6:09Speaker 1: to go along with the game, they just played that that.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I'm not concerned over the game, but my concerns grow.
- 6:17Speaker 1: If they have a bad day today as well, then
- 6:19Speaker 1: you start to think, Okay, the thing's going in the
- 6:22Speaker 1: wrong direction here.
- 6:23Speaker 4: Yeah, it's could you imagine, bone? Could you imagine if
- 6:26Speaker 4: these next two things in Jacksonville are bad? You saw
- 6:31Speaker 4: the text line on game Day, you saw the text
- 6:33Speaker 4: line on Monday, So man, I hope they could give
- 6:37Speaker 4: give us some positive kind of fan mojo.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Do I have to do an in game practice reports
- 6:42Speaker 1: segment tomorrow? Tweets? I just stay on the air. I
- 6:45Speaker 1: guess they'll do them live on the air today, though
- 6:46Speaker 1: we'll see.
- 6:47Speaker 4: I don't really know if I think nine to fifteen
- 6:49Speaker 4: was a list of time. I'm not sure the good,
- 6:51Speaker 4: the good good bone will start happening till till after
- 6:54Speaker 4: we're off the air. But maybe stretches individual stuff like that.
- 6:58Speaker 4: But we'll let you know. We'll let you know what's
- 7:00Speaker 4: going on if you're tuning in in the nine o'clock
- 7:02Speaker 4: hour to the Mack and Bone Show. We did mention
- 7:05Speaker 4: this at the end of the show yesterday. The Falcons
- 7:07Speaker 4: did bring in pass rush help in the form of
- 7:11Speaker 4: Zadarius Smith.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Uh, you and I didn't. I didn't remember this. You
- 7:15Speaker 1: you had said I thought he was retired. Well, he
- 7:18Speaker 1: was in October of last year. He retired after playing
- 7:21Speaker 1: five games for the Eagles, retired last years. He is back.
- 7:27Speaker 4: He is back, and the Falcons are desperate at Edge Rusher.
- 7:31Speaker 4: I don't think you can deny that. But I'm also
- 7:33Speaker 4: not gonna lie Bone that I have not brought his
- 7:35Speaker 4: name up on the long list of ed rushes that
- 7:38Speaker 4: Edge Rushers that I you know, was monitoring when Nick
- 7:40Speaker 4: Gordon went down.
- 7:42Speaker 1: You know. But they're more desperate than we are at Edge,
- 7:44Speaker 1: not even close. He wasn't popping up on a lot
- 7:46Speaker 1: of lists because, as you just mentioned, he was retired,
- 7:49Speaker 1: but he was on.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Like I mean, we've talked about him, Bone Ski, I
- 7:53Speaker 4: don't know. I just didn't know he actually retired. Remember,
- 7:56Speaker 4: I'm sure we have I just remember, all right. You know,
- 7:59Speaker 4: we talked about a lot of stuff.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I don't. My memory is starting to fade. I also
- 8:03Speaker 1: go home, and I have a device where much like
- 8:06Speaker 1: Men in Black, where I forget much of what was
- 8:08Speaker 1: said on the show, just to try to get myself
- 8:10Speaker 1: ready for the next I.
- 8:10Speaker 4: Know when I when bone doesn't remember when I say, fitty,
- 8:13Speaker 4: I know how my wife feels with me.
- 8:15Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 8:15Speaker 4: It's like, okay, I know how she feels. You can
- 8:18Speaker 4: remember we are basically an old married couple at this time.
- 8:21Speaker 1: I can remember the moment I watched the last episode
- 8:23Speaker 1: of ALF in its original run, but I can't remember
- 8:26Speaker 1: what we spoke about sometimes recently. That's fair. I understand
- 8:29Speaker 1: understand your priorities.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Mac's gonna be pretty sad considering how much you talk
- 8:34Speaker 3: that everyone you talk to tunes you out.
- 8:37Speaker 4: You're right, no early The comment was about me ignoring
- 8:40Speaker 4: my wife, is what the comment was. Oh my god,
- 8:44Speaker 4: I'm sure she tunes me out too though to your point,
- 8:46Speaker 4: but anyway, I don't fit go in your hole doing
- 8:49Speaker 4: your whole fat.
- 8:49Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you out there everything clearly. You
- 8:53Speaker 3: have to say.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Clearly, all right, let's Uh, then crawl back in your
- 8:56Speaker 4: hole over there, Fitty. We'll let you know when it's
- 8:58Speaker 4: Oklahoma drill time. All right, Well, to stretch, make sure
- 9:02Speaker 4: you stretch so you don't hurt your trunk during Oklahoma drills.
- 9:05Speaker 4: All right, let's go to fight, feisty Baker Mayfield. Let's
- 9:11Speaker 4: play the clip so y'all can hear it. I definitely
- 9:14Speaker 4: believe Bone that you're going to get. I mean, you
- 9:17Speaker 4: always get Baker Mayfield with an edge. But I do
- 9:20Speaker 4: believe he will have himself angry at start the season.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Now.
- 9:24Speaker 4: I believe part of that is the contract negotiations. I
- 9:27Speaker 4: believe he will use that as as fuel, but it
- 9:30Speaker 4: looks like Bone he is looking for other fuel as well.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Listen to this clip from his presser yesterday.
- 9:37Speaker 6: I think we're gonna shock a lot of people this year,
- 9:39Speaker 6: and so I'm excited to just get on the road.
- 9:41Speaker 2: And do that else surprise people.
- 9:45Speaker 6: Yeah, listen to in bellshit. There's no embellishing. I think
- 9:51Speaker 6: you can't avoid it. And there's the TVs everywhere. I
- 9:53Speaker 6: think everybody's yeah, oh yeah, I am. Everybody's picking us
- 9:58Speaker 6: probably to have a losing record, So we'll see.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Is everybody picking him have a losing record.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Bone.
- 10:04Speaker 1: I mean, I know that one guy had him seven
- 10:07Speaker 1: to ten, but I have not I'm not seen an
- 10:09Speaker 1: overwhelming No, I'm not so one was a usa to
- 10:13Speaker 1: someone had to pay their ten and seven in the
- 10:15Speaker 1: Bucks seven and ten. Other than that, I've not seen
- 10:18Speaker 1: that at all. Are they not gonna be the most
- 10:20Speaker 1: popular choice to win the division? If they're the favorites
- 10:22Speaker 1: in Vegas? Vegas favorites to win the division?
- 10:24Speaker 4: Is he doing what he did with the Steve Wilkes
- 10:26Speaker 4: thing just making up stuff again? Is he doing the
- 10:28Speaker 4: MJ thing where he just tries to create something out
- 10:31Speaker 4: of thin?
- 10:31Speaker 1: They're gonna tell us at some point that Steve Wilkes
- 10:33Speaker 1: picked then to have as a recognition year. I will say,
- 10:36Speaker 1: You'll be interesting this year for the Bucks. It's a
- 10:38Speaker 1: fascinating year for them because we know that Baker's playing
- 10:42Speaker 1: for something. We know how he plays, we know there
- 10:45Speaker 1: will be times he's banged up. How much is he
- 10:48Speaker 1: going to play through this year where they can't get
- 10:49Speaker 1: him out of the game either. There's gonna be moments
- 10:51Speaker 1: where they're gonna have to make a decision of Baker's
- 10:55Speaker 1: own good because make he's not gonna want to come
- 10:57Speaker 1: up for any of these games this year at all.
- 10:58Speaker 4: He didn't last year. No, when did he When did
- 11:00Speaker 4: he screw up his knee last year? Like two or three?
- 11:03Speaker 4: The contract they got to drag him off the field.
- 11:06Speaker 4: That just commendable, But they never drag him off the
- 11:09Speaker 4: field like that's the way he is all the time,
- 11:11Speaker 4: like and and and I'm sorry, man, I don't wish
- 11:13Speaker 4: him any ill will, but I believe he will come
- 11:15Speaker 4: out with an edge. I believe he'll be feeling dangerous.
- 11:19Speaker 4: But I do believe he will have to play through injuries.
- 11:21Speaker 4: I just think the way he plays, I just think
- 11:24Speaker 4: it's inevitable. So I do think that is going to
- 11:28Speaker 4: be part of their story. I also think we haven't
- 11:30Speaker 4: talked near enough about Mike Evans, certified panther killer, being gone.
- 11:34Speaker 1: From this team.
- 11:35Speaker 4: That's a good point, Like they still got a couple
- 11:37Speaker 4: of good receivers, they're no doubt about it with a
- 11:39Speaker 4: Buka and Godwin. But Mike Evans was a dude man, yes,
- 11:43Speaker 4: you know, especially when he played us.
- 11:46Speaker 1: And he may have been a victim of the substation
- 11:48Speaker 1: at San Francisco yesterday because he got hurt yesterday. I
- 11:50Speaker 1: think he might be all right, but he left yesterday
- 11:52Speaker 1: with the injuries. Yas did got him too.
- 11:58Speaker 4: The substation is substation still open? Remember to play substation?
- 12:07Speaker 1: I remember substation two is gone. I never remember one.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I remember substation substation two electric? Boogloo? Is that still?
- 12:12Speaker 4: I don't have the answer to that, but I don't
- 12:16Speaker 4: have substation still?
- 12:17Speaker 1: Probably not. I'm thinking I hadn't heard about it in
- 12:20Speaker 1: a while. Oh yeah, they're open, but they opened still Belma,
- 12:22Speaker 1: Gastonia rock Hill.
- 12:24Speaker 4: That's kind of substation I'm into. Not the one with
- 12:26Speaker 4: the electricity, the one, the one with the cold cuts.
- 12:28Speaker 4: I've always wondered back where substation one go?
- 12:32Speaker 1: So hold on two? I thought two was the one
- 12:34Speaker 1: in Matthew Or is there there is no substation?
- 12:37Speaker 3: It's just substation two?
- 12:38Speaker 1: Why that's weird? Isn't that weird? I don't know. Is
- 12:44Speaker 1: there a substation already taken? By the way, Fitty, can
- 12:46Speaker 1: I make my football comment? And we've gotten off track here. Also,
- 12:48Speaker 1: Chrystal Lave yesterday also left the the joint session with
- 12:54Speaker 1: the Cowboys, so that's another thing to monitor there as well.
- 12:56Speaker 1: In the nf South that was not in the fight though,
- 12:58Speaker 1: was it?
- 12:58Speaker 4: It wasn't. I was the only guy involved in that. Okay,
- 13:01Speaker 4: all right, there you go. Didn't you tell me bone
- 13:03Speaker 4: a who was involved in this fight? Which which wrestler's
- 13:06Speaker 4: relative was involved in this fight?
- 13:08Speaker 1: The son of w W Hall of Famer Scott Steiner,
- 13:13Speaker 1: rock reck Steiner. He he did the suplex on the
- 13:16Speaker 1: cowboy player. That's the Uh, that's the cousin of the
- 13:19Speaker 1: of our friend, a ron breaker that came in here
- 13:21Speaker 1: a couple of years.
- 13:22Speaker 4: I don't like the cowboys, but I gotta be honest,
- 13:25Speaker 4: that's some good comedy, a cowboy player getting suplexed. I
- 13:29Speaker 4: don't care that a saint didn't. That's kind of funny
- 13:31Speaker 4: right there. I don't care who you are.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Uh. We do need to mention.
- 13:35Speaker 4: Then we'll talk about this later on the show too,
- 13:36Speaker 4: because it's pretty notable. The big NFL news yesterday bone
- 13:40Speaker 4: is Roger Goodell uh saying in an interview with with
- 13:45Speaker 4: a a German media outlet that it is just a
- 13:48Speaker 4: matter of time between before there are NFL teams in
- 13:53Speaker 4: farm based in foreign countries.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I guarantee you.
- 13:59Speaker 4: That we we we've got a lot of football fans
- 14:01Speaker 4: that are gonna have a lot of opinions about that.
- 14:05Speaker 1: That's interesting to me. Man. I already know they're.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Going hog wild with We already know they're going hog
- 14:11Speaker 4: wild with the international games. They got ten, they want
- 14:14Speaker 4: to have ten and twenty twenty seven. What is their
- 14:17Speaker 4: goal is to have every team have sixteen international games
- 14:21Speaker 4: where every team plays one every season. But this is
- 14:25Speaker 4: and I know the talks that out there about a
- 14:27Speaker 4: super Bowl being over you know, in a foreign country,
- 14:30Speaker 4: which I don't love. You start putting teams with an
- 14:34Speaker 4: S in a foreign country, that's next.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Level, man. I think the next step will be what
- 14:40Speaker 1: you're talking about is every team having won a year.
- 14:42Speaker 1: But I also think that a super Bowl will one
- 14:44Speaker 1: day be played overseas that whatever that may be, I
- 14:48Speaker 1: don't know, but I think that'll happen as well. I
- 14:51Speaker 1: think the Super Bowl we played somewhere in England wherever,
- 14:55Speaker 1: whatever destination they want. I think the super Bowl I
- 14:58Speaker 1: don't agree with that, but I do think one day
- 15:00Speaker 1: that will be played outside.
- 15:01Speaker 4: Then what do you think about having multiple teams based
- 15:03Speaker 4: in other countries? Do you think it's only I mean,
- 15:05Speaker 4: Roger Goodell said it.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I think the Nuba talked about that as well their
- 15:09Speaker 1: global expansion of too. Well, the NBA is gonna have
- 15:11Speaker 1: a European league, right, Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right. Yeah,
- 15:14Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think that yeah, probably the
- 15:18Speaker 1: way that they emphasize all these games outside the US
- 15:22Speaker 1: and the and they the German markets and all these
- 15:26Speaker 1: every every think about how they do the draft. Also,
- 15:29Speaker 1: Matt too, there's a day on the draft where it
- 15:32Speaker 1: feels like every draft chois is made in another country.
- 15:34Speaker 1: They really emphasize the foreign fans, and I think one day,
- 15:38Speaker 1: yeah will be played out. I think there will be
- 15:40Speaker 1: teams outside the.
- 15:41Speaker 4: US, and that to me seems like a cluster f
- 15:43Speaker 4: in terms degree of travel and logistics. Not to mention
- 15:48Speaker 4: like we're going to get a team in the English
- 15:51Speaker 4: Premier or the English Soccer Pyramid. We're gonna get a
- 15:55Speaker 4: team that might be in the Premier League based in
- 15:57Speaker 4: the US. Spoiler alert, No, no, well, don't get a
- 16:02Speaker 4: team that's in La Liga in the Spanish league, like
- 16:05Speaker 4: I got.
- 16:06Speaker 1: I've got no problem.
- 16:09Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like they overdo it a little
- 16:11Speaker 4: bit with the games in foreign soil, but that I understand.
- 16:13Speaker 4: You start taking Super Bowls over there and basing teams
- 16:16Speaker 4: over there. I'm not a huge fan of it. Personally,
- 16:19Speaker 4: I don't like it.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I'm not either, but it feels like that's the direction
- 16:22Speaker 1: this is headed in. And who knows when that'll be,
- 16:24Speaker 1: but in our lifetime, that's where this thing is headed.
- 16:26Speaker 1: You know what you need to do.
- 16:27Speaker 4: You need to take Murphy up to New York City
- 16:31Speaker 4: and you need to have him attack Roger Goodell.
- 16:33Speaker 1: All right, that's what you need to do.
- 16:34Speaker 4: And while he is literally chewing off Roger Goodell's leg,
- 16:38Speaker 4: you need to say I will pull him off you
- 16:40Speaker 4: if you do not take teams overseas, sir.
- 16:43Speaker 1: That's what you need to do. Use Murphy as a weapon.
- 16:45Speaker 1: By Murphy, Murphy put a fast one today, man on
- 16:48Speaker 1: me here. Never seen this happen before. He was just
- 16:51Speaker 1: staring in the distance. Look, we're oppressed for time in
- 16:54Speaker 1: the morning. It's a it's a truncated time frame to
- 16:58Speaker 1: get here, get ready for the show start to sticks.
- 17:00Speaker 1: There's not a lot of time to waste here in
- 17:02Speaker 1: the morning. Murphy whites to take his time, He chooses food,
- 17:05Speaker 1: he goes to watch his TV comes back. I'm gonna
- 17:08Speaker 1: speed this up, man, So today on our walk. He
- 17:11Speaker 1: did that dog thing where he's just staring in the
- 17:13Speaker 1: distance like he sees something. We've all been there before.
- 17:16Speaker 1: We can't see it. I don't know what it is.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Is it a cat, a squirrel, I don't know. But
- 17:20Speaker 1: he's just transfixed by looking into the into the distance.
- 17:22Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing, and I can't see
- 17:24Speaker 1: his face. I have the leash behind him. I'm like, hey,
- 17:27Speaker 1: come on, man, come on, man, what come on? Then
- 17:30Speaker 1: I realized this dude was trying to buy an extra
- 17:33Speaker 1: minute of sleep out there on the leash by closing
- 17:35Speaker 1: his eyes. He was not staring off in the distance.
- 17:37Speaker 1: This man's eyes closed. He was napping on our watch.
- 17:40Speaker 4: Shouldn't this puppy be raring to go after being in
- 17:42Speaker 4: the crate all night?
- 17:43Speaker 1: I would think so. Shouldn't he be rare and to go.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I gotta get here, man, I gotta get to my
- 17:46Speaker 1: mag I gotta put my work in. Man, if you
- 17:48Speaker 1: got an Oklahoma trail, to got Oklahoma, because I got
- 17:50Speaker 1: substation talk man, I got something to do. Man, I
- 17:53Speaker 1: can't be wasting time. The bullet probably put it into
- 17:56Speaker 1: the show. The braves were bats were asleep again last night.
- 18:00Speaker 1: They have law. Oh is that me? My bad? My bad?
- 18:02Speaker 3: Uh?
- 18:02Speaker 4: They lost four to one to the Twins. They have
- 18:05Speaker 4: now scored three runs in these two games. And their
- 18:10Speaker 4: guy Mallley that they traded for was good again. Was
- 18:13Speaker 4: good again six and two thirds. He gave up two runs.
- 18:16Speaker 4: This guy has been tremendous since they traded for him.
- 18:19Speaker 4: But I believe they've only won one of his three starts. Yeah,
- 18:22Speaker 4: he's given up three runs in three starts. But they
- 18:25Speaker 4: only have one win the show for it. So they
- 18:27Speaker 4: lose last night for to one to the Twins. They
- 18:31Speaker 4: will play the final game of the series at one
- 18:33Speaker 4: forty today. They also have a single game tomorrow in Chicago.
- 18:39Speaker 1: I believe it's is it in Chicago or in Atlanta?
- 18:41Speaker 1: They played?
- 18:42Speaker 4: They play the White Sox tomorrow in a game that
- 18:44Speaker 4: they're making up double check it, So they have a
- 18:48Speaker 4: one off tomorrow mac.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Last night was not all that dissimilar from the first game.
- 18:52Speaker 1: They've given up eight runs in the series, six of
- 18:55Speaker 1: them in the first inning on the other night. The Twins,
- 18:58Speaker 1: ever scored again last night to win score too early
- 19:01Speaker 1: only to the rest of the way. The Pigeon staff
- 19:03Speaker 1: has actually outside of two Winnings done a very nice
- 19:06Speaker 1: job with this series where they have two losses the
- 19:08Speaker 1: show for that's true, that's a good point. That is
- 19:10Speaker 1: a good point. I'm checking the schedule here for tomorrow.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Internet is slow. Internet is slow. It is Atlanta at
- 19:23Speaker 1: Chicago to ten. I shouldn't have doubted myself. No, never
- 19:27Speaker 1: doubt yourself that we never do. Yeah, when we come back,
- 19:30Speaker 1: we got a lot of college to talk about. The
- 19:32Speaker 1: Heels reportedly have chosen their starting quarterback. There's more national
- 19:36Speaker 1: hype for Notre Dame, some love for No No Sellers,
- 19:41Speaker 1: and Michael Malone with a very interesting interview with John
- 19:45Speaker 1: Rossy and will handle all that and more. Sports Radio
- 19:48Speaker 1: ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 20:10Speaker 7: There are several teams this year that can win a
- 20:12Speaker 7: national championship, but I'm all in on the Irish this season.
- 20:16Speaker 7: I think this is Notre Dame's year. Last year they
- 20:19Speaker 7: were just left out Marcus Freeman's mantra. This year, leave
- 20:24Speaker 7: no doubt. I love the line of scrimmage. This is
- 20:27Speaker 7: elite defense, and I think CJ. Carr is a star.
- 20:31Speaker 7: So the Big ten is going to be right there
- 20:33Speaker 7: in the mix all year. And yes, they're capable but
- 20:36Speaker 7: if you're asking me, does the streak continue, No, Greedy,
- 20:39Speaker 7: I don't think it does. I think it's the Irish
- 20:42Speaker 7: that are the national champion.
- 20:45Speaker 4: That is Dusty Dvoricek, that is Notre Dame. National media hype.
- 20:50Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen. Get used to it. It is going
- 20:53Speaker 4: to happen. I am surprised bone that they did not
- 20:56Speaker 4: rank any higher than fourth on.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Either one of the polls.
- 21:00Speaker 4: You know, I come from a generation where if Notre
- 21:03Speaker 4: Dame gave polsters any chance to rank them too high,
- 21:08Speaker 4: they would do so. So I'm kind of surprised that
- 21:11Speaker 4: they are conservative on Notre Dame. Hell, people listening to
- 21:16Speaker 4: this show might be tired of hearing Notre Dame hype
- 21:19Speaker 4: because you and I both have been saying for months,
- 21:22Speaker 4: how good we think they're gonna be. I believe they
- 21:26Speaker 4: have a generational talent, like a you should say generational talent.
- 21:31Speaker 4: I believe they have a superstar quarterback. I bet they
- 21:33Speaker 4: have not had for a while. That's the point I'm
- 21:35Speaker 4: getting to is that quarterback like Riley. They got to
- 21:39Speaker 4: the championship game with Riley Leonard, you know, like Ian
- 21:42Speaker 4: Brook was a winner but not a star. They haven't
- 21:44Speaker 4: had something like this in a long They usually have
- 21:47Speaker 4: the winners, but not the stars.
- 21:50Speaker 1: And also that they've gone to transfer around a number
- 21:53Speaker 1: of times. This guy's been in the system. He's groomed
- 21:56Speaker 1: to be the star. Mag if I'm a betting man
- 21:59Speaker 1: and I am h CJ. Carr for the Heisman. He's
- 22:03Speaker 1: a quarterback at Notre Dame. He's a star. He's in
- 22:06Speaker 1: all these big moments and these big games on TV.
- 22:08Speaker 1: The schedule plays out nicely. CJ. Carr to me, I'm
- 22:12Speaker 1: putting futures on him right now as the Heisman. You
- 22:15Speaker 1: know who has picked CJ. Carr to win the Heisman?
- 22:17Speaker 1: Who's that I have? Yeah? Yeah, cut, yeah, I know.
- 22:20Speaker 1: I'm did you hear me on that one? I have
- 22:23Speaker 1: said that about four times. I never said, but I'm saying,
- 22:26Speaker 1: if I'm putting money on it, CJ. Carr is my
- 22:29Speaker 1: Heisman guy for all those reasons. I'm just doing a
- 22:31Speaker 1: listening check mare, that's all. You will just me Mac,
- 22:34Speaker 1: you are not. You will get your credit. You will.
- 22:36Speaker 1: I'm not, You'll get your credit there big. I'm just saying.
- 22:40Speaker 4: I'm just I have been saying it, and listen, I'm
- 22:42Speaker 4: not this Notre Dame Mac, we're not a I hate him.
- 22:46Speaker 4: I hope they lose every game, but like I'm just
- 22:48Speaker 4: being honest and telling you that I think.
- 22:50Speaker 1: But Marcus Freeman's the real deal to you know what
- 22:52Speaker 1: I mean. And let's also may have the best pound
- 22:55Speaker 1: for pound player in the country and what are more?
- 22:57Speaker 1: Also on defense, he's a he's a top two or
- 22:59Speaker 1: three just and you know they're gonna be good in
- 23:01Speaker 1: the trenches because they're Notre Dame.
- 23:04Speaker 4: But I uh, and I think they're gonna run the ball.
- 23:07Speaker 4: I wouldn't worry about losing two running backs. I think
- 23:08Speaker 4: a Nias Williams. I think you're gonna have an offensive
- 23:10Speaker 4: linebone that can road grade like they always do. But
- 23:14Speaker 4: I think it could be a special year for them,
- 23:17Speaker 4: no doubt about it. And by the way, either one
- 23:20Speaker 4: of us is not going out on a limb. I
- 23:22Speaker 4: believe he is the favorite to win the Heisman, if
- 23:24Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken. Uh yeah, I'll double check that, but yeah,
- 23:27Speaker 4: I think he's the favorite, slightly over arch or their
- 23:29Speaker 4: co favorites something like that. So again, you know, it's
- 23:33Speaker 4: not like we're doing something revolutionary here. But anyway, we
- 23:38Speaker 4: get to talk starting quarterback at Notre Dame, Billy Edwards Junior,
- 23:43Speaker 4: So North Carolina, right, North Carolina. I'm sorry so much
- 23:46Speaker 4: for clean out up fit, he clean out mess up,
- 23:48Speaker 4: so much for.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Carridge, your favorite ahead of Arch and Ki.
- 23:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 23:52Speaker 4: So it's not like we're doing anything wild here, but anyway,
- 23:56Speaker 4: so much for the tar Heel twenty four to seven report,
- 23:59Speaker 4: like two days ago. Are they out to lunch or
- 24:01Speaker 4: something telling us Miles O'Neill was the was the leader
- 24:04Speaker 4: or did he get passed in one day because Billy
- 24:07Speaker 4: Edwards Junior, who most people thought was the favorite to
- 24:10Speaker 4: win the job. Anyway, initially the transfer from Wisconsin. His
- 24:15Speaker 4: best He's gonna be the starter against TCU. His best
- 24:18Speaker 4: year was at Maryland. He had some pretty good games.
- 24:21Speaker 4: He threw for three seventy three. They beat USC in
- 24:24Speaker 4: that game. They hung fifty on Yukon at Maryland two
- 24:29Speaker 4: years ago with Billy Edwards Junior as the starter in
- 24:32Speaker 4: that game. He threw for three to eleven in that game.
- 24:35Speaker 4: Bone he beat Virginia with two sixty three and two touchdowns.
- 24:39Speaker 4: He threw for two eighty nine and three touchdowns against Indiana. Like,
- 24:44Speaker 4: I mean, he's done some stuff.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it was all. It was all at Maryland.
- 24:50Speaker 1: He didn't really do anything low, he didn't get hurt. Yeah,
- 24:52Speaker 1: he didn't really play in Wisconsin last year. But the
- 24:55Speaker 1: best thing he has going for him is, you know,
- 24:58Speaker 1: the Bobby Patrino offense always going to elevate you as
- 25:01Speaker 1: a quarterback in the offense. So that's the difference in
- 25:05Speaker 1: Go Lopez last year. And now watched Gopez go and
- 25:09Speaker 1: play at Wakes offense and watch him look more like
- 25:12Speaker 1: the South Alabama guy Billy Edwards gets Bobby Petrino and
- 25:16Speaker 1: that always seems to elevate the quarterback play, making guys
- 25:18Speaker 1: better than they actually are. So he's got that benefit
- 25:21Speaker 1: as well well.
- 25:21Speaker 4: First of all, Freddie Kitchens was not, you know, not
- 25:26Speaker 4: a good choice to keep around as you're OC. Then
- 25:29Speaker 4: they tried to fit a square peg in a round
- 25:31Speaker 4: hole where they took Go Lopez, but they didn't really
- 25:33Speaker 4: run an offense that would accenuate Geo's positives. And to
- 25:37Speaker 4: your point, now has his OC from South Alabama in
- 25:41Speaker 4: Winston Salem with him, so I would expect them to
- 25:43Speaker 4: be better off. To your point, I would expect North
- 25:45Speaker 4: Carolina to get better quarterback play this year. I still
- 25:49Speaker 4: don't know bone what that means. I still question the
- 25:52Speaker 4: O line. Fitty, you tell me you've been doing podcasts
- 25:56Speaker 4: every day. It seems like about this Heels football team,
- 25:59Speaker 4: I would still question the old line. They got to
- 26:02Speaker 4: find a way to run the ball better. I do
- 26:05Speaker 4: like him like I do like Junet running back. They
- 26:07Speaker 4: got to run it better. They've got to use those
- 26:09Speaker 4: transfer tight ends because they got some tight ends from
- 26:12Speaker 4: some big programs. Are their receivers to compliment Jordan's ship?
- 26:17Speaker 4: What do you think about all of this? Fit Dog?
- 26:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Billy Edwards decision, Mack I look
- 26:25Speaker 3: at this as a TCU decision, like he's gonna start
- 26:28Speaker 3: that game. This could be a week to week thing
- 26:31Speaker 3: for Carolina. Because I do put stock in what was
- 26:34Speaker 3: reported about Miles O'Neill pushing him to be the starting quarterback.
- 26:39Speaker 4: I don't think the report was pushing. I think the
- 26:41Speaker 4: report was he was in the lead on Sunday, right and.
- 26:44Speaker 3: They and maybe on Sunday he was and maybe on
- 26:46Speaker 3: Monday he lost it.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Regardless of that, Moratarios twenty four to seven just completely
- 26:52Speaker 1: screwed up.
- 26:52Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do that to my guy Andrew Jones.
- 26:55Speaker 3: With that being said, Billy Edwards is in a better
- 26:58Speaker 3: position to be successful more so Go Lopez was a
- 27:01Speaker 3: year ago because he's got a better play caller and
- 27:04Speaker 3: mac there's still questions about the skill position talent, It's
- 27:07Speaker 3: still better than it was a year ago. Jordanship is
- 27:10Speaker 3: a better football player than what most of the country
- 27:12Speaker 3: saw a year ago. You got Trent Kekuna from Wisconsin,
- 27:16Speaker 3: nice slot receiver. He's gonna be a fun gadget player.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Those three tight ends, the interier, the offensive line, if
- 27:22Speaker 3: they stay healthy, really really good. It's what can those
- 27:25Speaker 3: two tackles both six foot eight, what can what can
- 27:29Speaker 3: they offer? He gives Carolina the best chance to win
- 27:32Speaker 3: the TCU game. And we know how important that game
- 27:36Speaker 3: is when you look historically what the winner does in
- 27:39Speaker 3: that game, what the loser does in that game. If
- 27:42Speaker 3: Carolina is going to take that step and be a
- 27:44Speaker 3: competitive team for twelve weeks, they've got to get a
- 27:47Speaker 3: win next week in Ireland. He gives him the best
- 27:50Speaker 3: chance next Saturday to win.
- 27:52Speaker 4: By the way, the news out of TCU bone is
- 27:55Speaker 4: good and bad.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Uh. They did kick off a kid that was It
- 27:59Speaker 1: was a stun transfer its safety in Jacob Fields.
- 28:01Speaker 4: They kicked him off the team. But Pete k not
- 28:04Speaker 4: goes his reporting that Jaden Craig, the Harvard HOVD transfer quarterback,
- 28:09Speaker 4: is tearing it up in camp right now.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Yeah, they love the guy. He's Harvard's all time leading passer.
- 28:16Speaker 1: So that's it. But I do believe they have a
- 28:19Speaker 1: pretty well known player from Harvard, right Matt Ryan Fitzpatrick
- 28:23Speaker 1: came from Harvard, right, Yeah, that's pretty does he have
- 28:26Speaker 1: the previous record? I'm gonna guess that he probably did
- 28:29Speaker 1: based off my Havard football knowledge.
- 28:33Speaker 4: Only Harvard players I know are Matt Burke the center
- 28:35Speaker 4: and Ryan Fitzpatrick the quarterback.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think I know any other Harvard players.
- 28:39Speaker 1: I think we just.
- 28:40Speaker 4: Wanted to say Harvard, Harvard Park the cod Havid y'ad.
- 28:46Speaker 4: That wasn't very good Boston, was it. That wasn't a
- 28:50Speaker 4: very good Boston accent. Fitty, You've got a better Boston accent?
- 28:54Speaker 3: No I can't.
- 28:55Speaker 1: I'm one more current NFL player you know from Harvard.
- 28:59Speaker 1: I forgot Kyle us Check also from Martine. Oh that's right, yeah,
- 29:02Speaker 1: I did forget about that one. That is your Harvard minute.
- 29:06Speaker 4: There you go, baby, there you go. Do you want
- 29:08Speaker 4: to mention more love for Lenora Sellers? How about this?
- 29:13Speaker 4: Todd McShay put out his top ten players list in
- 29:16Speaker 4: college football this year. South Carolina has two in the
- 29:20Speaker 4: top seven, Leonoras Sellers and Dylan Stewart. Now, you can't
- 29:26Speaker 4: win if it's if this is college basketball and you
- 29:28Speaker 4: have two of the best seven players. Boone, they may
- 29:31Speaker 4: be well, they'd probably be one of the favorites to
- 29:32Speaker 4: win the national championship. Well, you need a lot more
- 29:35Speaker 4: dudes than two, But damn they got a couple of studs.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Sometimes you have that and things happen along the way.
- 29:41Speaker 1: We're maybe not necessarily you game situations. Things happened. I
- 29:46Speaker 1: hit a sensitive stuff out there, boat.
- 29:48Speaker 4: Okay, what do you think you got to be so
- 29:50Speaker 4: excited about as a Gamecock fan? To watch Leonoris in
- 29:53Speaker 4: this new offense would have beafed up better o line.
- 29:56Speaker 4: And to watch Dylan Stewart for one more year. I mean,
- 29:59Speaker 4: the physical talent those two dudes have is insane.
- 30:03Speaker 1: It really is. If we think, and I agree, of
- 30:06Speaker 1: what Bobby Petrino is going to do for Billy Edwards Junior,
- 30:09Speaker 1: what is Kendall Brile's going to do for the talent
- 30:12Speaker 1: level of Lenora Sellers. Look, we know it's there. He
- 30:15Speaker 1: didn't play his best last year, and some of that's
- 30:17Speaker 1: on him and they'll tell you that, but a lot
- 30:19Speaker 1: of that was on the offense. It was on him
- 30:22Speaker 1: running around for his life of the offensive line. They've
- 30:24Speaker 1: upgraded that. Him and Stuart combined on both sides of
- 30:29Speaker 1: the football as not only star players, but now experienced
- 30:33Speaker 1: star players. Megot's not transfers that have come in to
- 30:36Speaker 1: elevate the program. These are guys that have had highs
- 30:39Speaker 1: and lows already in their careers. They've stuck around. Yeah,
- 30:43Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see Sellers in this offense. And
- 30:46Speaker 1: then Stewart on the other side. I know there's not
- 30:48Speaker 1: as much help as there has been in the past
- 30:50Speaker 1: on defense, but still him as a junior should just
- 30:54Speaker 1: be a jadeveon Clowney like wrecking ball for this defense.
- 30:58Speaker 4: Yeah, he could have a spedd They both could have
- 31:00Speaker 4: special seasons. Man, I'm looking forward to seeing those. Can
- 31:03Speaker 4: Harbor Can Harbor be? I Mean, I know we say
- 31:05Speaker 4: it every year, but in this offense, can He's had
- 31:08Speaker 4: flashes and he's gotten a little better. But can Harbor
- 31:13Speaker 4: become a star? Can he be the third, the triplet
- 31:15Speaker 4: of this operation? Can he finally be a dominant wide
- 31:18Speaker 4: out and not just the guy look at it say, oh,
- 31:20Speaker 4: he's got all these skills? Can Nick Harbor tear it up?
- 31:23Speaker 5: Now?
- 31:23Speaker 1: He's been getting better? Becaue of my video games Tarbor
- 31:25Speaker 1: two years ago.
- 31:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I know if he could be that good eighteen
- 31:28Speaker 4: hundred yards receiver or whatever you have that well, he
- 31:30Speaker 4: had thirteen hundred yards in the postseason. But yeah, he's
- 31:34Speaker 4: gotten better and better. It seems like he is becoming
- 31:37Speaker 4: more of a football player, not just a track star,
- 31:39Speaker 4: fast guy. And I'd have read there are a lot
- 31:42Speaker 4: of football minds, and no more than me that do
- 31:44Speaker 4: believe the Briles offense won't just be good for Sellers,
- 31:47Speaker 4: but it'll be good for Harbor. They also got to
- 31:49Speaker 4: find a way to run the ball better. But that
- 31:51Speaker 4: goes to the old line too.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Bone. The old line didn't really run block well or
- 31:54Speaker 1: pass block well. No, the last year the running game
- 31:57Speaker 1: was Sellers running side to side. That's the other last
- 32:01Speaker 1: year with the offensive line breakdowns, Seller's macarae, how many yards?
- 32:06Speaker 1: What was that stat last year of how many yards
- 32:08Speaker 1: he ran for, but it wasn't like up the field.
- 32:10Speaker 4: Yeah, he only had like two hundred something Russian, but
- 32:13Speaker 4: they said they talked to him.
- 32:14Speaker 1: He had like a thousand yards going side.
- 32:15Speaker 4: To sideline, Like literally he ran that many yards to
- 32:18Speaker 4: get two hundred. Yes, it was crazy. So anyway, we
- 32:22Speaker 4: will see. Man, they are going to be an interesting
- 32:24Speaker 4: team to watch. And you said the other nation, what
- 32:26Speaker 4: about some design runs for salary? Get him doing that again.
- 32:31Speaker 4: Let's get away from the je running for his wife.
- 32:33Speaker 4: Let's get him because he'll go. You saw against clubs
- 32:36Speaker 4: in a couple of years ago. He'll carry the whole defense.
- 32:38Speaker 4: He can go litt Cam Newton, you know what I mean.
- 32:40Speaker 4: I know he's not quite as big, but he can
- 32:42Speaker 4: do some of that stuff. So anyway, they're going to
- 32:45Speaker 4: be interesting to see. Also interesting to see is when
- 32:47Speaker 4: Michael Malone's heels get on the hard court during basketball season.
- 32:52Speaker 4: He did an interview with John Rostein yesterday. It's got
- 32:55Speaker 4: heels fans fired up. He was talking a big game
- 32:58Speaker 4: in their bone about I don't care if it's porter
- 33:00Speaker 4: or high school players. Were you inc we should be
- 33:02Speaker 4: able to get some of the best around. But he
- 33:06Speaker 4: also talked about his relationship with Roy Williams and how
- 33:10Speaker 4: much were role Roy played in Michael Malone taking the
- 33:13Speaker 4: tar Heel job after you know, of course he turned
- 33:15Speaker 4: it down a couple of times.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Initially, listen to this, what is the Michael Malone Roy
- 33:19Speaker 1: Williams relationship like as you make this transition to Chapel.
- 33:23Speaker 5: Hill, Well, Coach Williams had a lot to do with
- 33:26Speaker 5: me taking this job. You know, I like this. I
- 33:29Speaker 5: turned the job down three times and I felt finally
- 33:32Speaker 5: at peace about that, and I was going to stay
- 33:34Speaker 5: in the NBA and continue my NBA journey. And I
- 33:39Speaker 5: had a couple of great conversations with Hall of Famer
- 33:41Speaker 5: coach Roy Williams, and I had just met him. I
- 33:45Speaker 5: just got to know him, but I feel like I've
- 33:46Speaker 5: known him for years. Coach Williams has that kind of
- 33:49Speaker 5: impact on you. And the thing that really resonated with me,
- 33:52Speaker 5: John is this, how much Coach Williams loves this university,
- 33:56Speaker 5: how much Coach Williams loves this program, and that passion
- 34:00Speaker 5: that he has. He has been unbelievably welcoming to me
- 34:04Speaker 5: and my family, and he's been around I told him,
- 34:07Speaker 5: it's really important for me to have Roy Williams to
- 34:10Speaker 5: be a part of this program because I know how
- 34:12Speaker 5: much it means. So I told him he can sit
- 34:15Speaker 5: in my seat some nights if he wants to, and
- 34:17Speaker 5: I'll go sit in the stands. But he said he
- 34:19Speaker 5: doesn't want to do that anymore. But coach Williams is
- 34:22Speaker 5: the best. He and his wife Wanda are just unbelievable people,
- 34:26Speaker 5: and they care about one thing. They care about this
- 34:28Speaker 5: university and this program.
- 34:30Speaker 1: So there you go. He wasn't outside the boss higher
- 34:34Speaker 1: from the standpoint of we didn't really think anything about
- 34:37Speaker 1: him coaching the college game. But as the all seasons grown,
- 34:40Speaker 1: as we get closer to the season, I think the
- 34:43Speaker 1: sense and I don't want to speak for heel Sandsom
- 34:45Speaker 1: not one, but I sense that they feel a lot
- 34:47Speaker 1: better about it now. They watched him bill the roster,
- 34:49Speaker 1: to hear him talk like that, and the fact that
- 34:52Speaker 1: they did go outside the family that we talk about
- 34:55Speaker 1: so much, but Roy's embraced it to that level where
- 34:58Speaker 1: they're treating him Whykey's family. That's that's a huge deal
- 35:01Speaker 1: for Michael Malone and getting off to a solid start.
- 35:05Speaker 1: I love it.
- 35:05Speaker 4: By the way, big pain, call him yourself, big pain,
- 35:07Speaker 4: he says. He hears Michael Malone has photos on the
- 35:10Speaker 4: beach of him doing yoga with a new cheerleader girlfriend.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Stop that, sir, Stop that. And that's the last coach
- 35:15Speaker 4: you were talking about. That's Bolly Petrino. Sorry, that's Bill Belichick.
- 35:19Speaker 4: This man's happily married. This man is going to run,
- 35:24Speaker 4: I believe, at at at but bare minimum, a functional program,
- 35:30Speaker 4: unlike the dude.
- 35:33Speaker 1: The run of the football. I think he's going to
- 35:35Speaker 1: run a very consistent program. Also. I think that's what's
- 35:37Speaker 1: going to be the thing. I don't think you're I
- 35:39Speaker 1: don't think you're going to see some ebbs and flows
- 35:41Speaker 1: that you saw. Hubert had the highs of highs that
- 35:44Speaker 1: we won't mention. But Hubert also had some lows and
- 35:46Speaker 1: he never quite knew what you were getting. I think
- 35:48Speaker 1: Michael Malone is going to run a very consistent Yeah, I.
- 35:52Speaker 4: Could see it. Seven oh four number, says Malone's daughters
- 35:54Speaker 4: on the volleyball team. He wanted to make sure it
- 35:56Speaker 4: was okay with her too. Yeah, that quote from the
- 35:59Speaker 4: press conference was very cool, you know, you know, having kids,
- 36:02Speaker 4: having a daughter myself like he he said he wanted
- 36:06Speaker 4: to he does not. She has her thing there, right,
- 36:09Speaker 4: and he felt a little bad about I come here
- 36:13Speaker 4: and all of a sudden you turn into the basketball
- 36:16Speaker 4: coaches daughter rather than the volleyball player that's the student there.
- 36:20Speaker 4: So that was kind of cool, like the way he
- 36:22Speaker 4: said that. I Uh, I'm a little optimistic about Mike
- 36:26Speaker 4: Michael Malone. I just hope Fitty that the football team
- 36:29Speaker 4: does it. I fear the football team go start so
- 36:32Speaker 4: slowly that we will be breaking down y'all's basketball team
- 36:35Speaker 4: very early.
- 36:36Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully not hopefully we can at least get to
- 36:39Speaker 3: actually basketball season. But uh yeah, I I listen to
- 36:45Speaker 3: the whole interview.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Did it fire you up?
- 36:47Speaker 3: I like? I like the message that Michael Malone is
- 36:51Speaker 3: is preaching because if you listen to the words, it's
- 36:55Speaker 3: a different tone, a different attitude than what you heard
- 36:58Speaker 3: from Hubert Davis. And I don't mean to take shots
- 37:01Speaker 3: at Hubert, but there's a level of confidence with Michael
- 37:04Speaker 3: Malone that you just never got from Hubert. And and
- 37:08Speaker 3: that's because some times who Hubert was and is Michael
- 37:11Speaker 3: Malone is like that. He's a tough irishman. He's my
- 37:14Speaker 3: generation's Frank Maguire and he was the last. He was
- 37:18Speaker 3: the guy that was, you know, a non UNC member
- 37:21Speaker 3: won a national championship. You go back, he's gonna do
- 37:24Speaker 3: the same thing.
- 37:24Speaker 1: Speaking of speaking of college basketball, bag and now it's yesterday.
- 37:29Speaker 1: Two K will be putting out their college basketball video
- 37:33Speaker 1: game next year in twenty twenty seven, So you go,
- 37:37Speaker 1: college basketball video games are back. And I have got
- 37:40Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, man, exercising some demons,
- 37:44Speaker 1: trying to get Duke over that that hump there, you go,
- 37:47Speaker 1: can't do it, you will, But I will not leave
- 37:48Speaker 1: this job. I get did the South Carodia football job. Okay,
- 37:51Speaker 1: I get that due basketball job. I'm staying there.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Man.
- 37:53Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear rumors now, glad to hear that
- 37:55Speaker 1: when we come back. Some Charlotte sports stuff, national media
- 37:59Speaker 1: and their expectations for the Hornets. What are they saying,
- 38:03Speaker 1: Will Keikley finally found more work and the Panthers fan
- 38:07Speaker 1: base race where find out sports Radio ninety two seven.
- 38:34Speaker 2: So you know, I've been as critical as Mellow as anybody,
- 38:38Speaker 2: but the simple fact is he was a driving force.
- 38:40Speaker 2: So they're winning last year offensive rating with him on
- 38:43Speaker 2: the floor one twenty three point two, that's historically elite
- 38:47Speaker 2: off the floor one ten point six. That's not very good.
- 38:50Speaker 1: You know.
- 38:51Speaker 2: That's look they brought in Dennis shrewd or that that's
- 38:54Speaker 2: a trade that tells you they're not trying to take
- 38:56Speaker 2: too much of a step back to you know, give
- 38:58Speaker 2: Hi another creator to go along with Cody White. But
- 39:03Speaker 2: they made those trays, as you said, say look, we're
- 39:06Speaker 2: not on the verge of something big now. We want
- 39:09Speaker 2: to build around these young guys, and they were willing
- 39:12Speaker 2: to take a step back to try to give themselves
- 39:16Speaker 2: a long term higher ceiling. But I do think it's
- 39:19Speaker 2: a step back from forty four wins last year.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Here you go.
- 39:24Speaker 4: That is Tim McMahon, ESPN's Hoop Collective talked about the
- 39:28Speaker 4: Hornets over under is thirty.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Nine and a half. That ain't a bad over underbone.
- 39:32Speaker 1: We've seen worse when you could so we've seen way worse.
- 39:35Speaker 1: But the fact they traded LaMelo and their number is
- 39:38Speaker 1: four and a half wins lower than last year's win total,
- 39:42Speaker 1: especially in this conference that is completely low loaded up conference,
- 39:45Speaker 1: that's a good point. Too loaded up conference.
- 39:47Speaker 4: I will say, I cannot let that Tim McMahon clip
- 39:50Speaker 4: go without noting something here, he was all over LaMelo's
- 39:56Speaker 4: heine bone criticizing him he's not a winning player like
- 40:00Speaker 4: he may be the biggest LaMelo national media critic out
- 40:03Speaker 4: there over the years, and that's saying something. Now, all
- 40:07Speaker 4: the sudden bone that he has been traded from the Hornets,
- 40:10Speaker 4: I notice all the sudden Tim McMahon starts reciting the
- 40:12Speaker 4: on off numbers for the Hornets with and without without.
- 40:16Speaker 4: It's funny how LaMelo now gets compliments for his importance
- 40:19Speaker 4: to the Hornets now that he's gone from Tim McMahon.
- 40:22Speaker 1: That's kind of odd. Yeah, it's funny how things change there.
- 40:27Speaker 1: And mag I'm reading the full over Unner numbers right
- 40:30Speaker 1: now and it's notable. And we talked about this throughout
- 40:32Speaker 1: the offseason. There is not a lot of bad teams
- 40:35Speaker 1: in the East. Brooklyn's bad, Milwaukee's bad. Chicago has a
- 40:40Speaker 1: low number. But with Caleb Wilson, they've at least got
- 40:43Speaker 1: some hope there in Josh Giddy. Surprising to me Mac
- 40:46Speaker 1: right now because of the moves they made, and we
- 40:49Speaker 1: played them twice in the first ten games. Washington Wizards.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Right now, we're at thirty five and a half. So
- 40:55Speaker 1: that shows you right now the depth of the East
- 40:56Speaker 1: when the Wizards have been bad. The Wizards are themselves
- 41:00Speaker 1: at thirty five and a half in this conference.
- 41:02Speaker 4: Yeah, they even they look like they might be trying
- 41:04Speaker 4: to win. I know, you know, that's that's a twist.
- 41:07Speaker 1: And and the teams in our division, Atlanta and Atlanta
- 41:10Speaker 1: and Orlando, especially Atlanta, felt like they've they're on the rise.
- 41:15Speaker 1: They're only four wins ahead of us in the number
- 41:18Speaker 1: Atlanta and Orlando or a forty three and a half.
- 41:21Speaker 1: So I thought it might be lower than that, but
- 41:24Speaker 1: not right now.
- 41:25Speaker 4: Interesting, I do want to get to some of these
- 41:27Speaker 4: Panther related notes. Luke Keikley Bone has himself a whole
- 41:32Speaker 4: ton of jobs.
- 41:34Speaker 1: It's about time this guy got off his uh his
- 41:36Speaker 1: key turn work.
- 41:38Speaker 4: We know obviously he's still doing some games on a
- 41:41Speaker 4: Panther radio network. We know about the Netflix thing, five
- 41:44Speaker 4: games as a lead analyst for Netflix. Also apparently doing
- 41:50Speaker 4: a limited amount of games on CBS as an analyst
- 41:53Speaker 4: as well. Bone and he is now going to join
- 41:57Speaker 4: Peyton Manning on the Breakdown Show for Manning's Omaha Productions.
- 42:02Speaker 4: You can watch it on the ESPN app. Now it
- 42:04Speaker 4: doesn't start till October, but this was the thing I
- 42:06Speaker 4: think that Belichick did, right. It is for for a
- 42:10Speaker 4: year with Peyton where they break down the Monday night
- 42:12Speaker 4: game from an X and O standpoint. I have to
- 42:15Speaker 4: tell you, man, Luke and Peyton talking x'es and o's,
- 42:20Speaker 4: that's pretty damn close awesome because Luke was basically like,
- 42:24Speaker 4: I don't know the linebacker for the defensive version of Peyton, right, Yes,
- 42:29Speaker 4: that's the two guys.
- 42:30Speaker 1: That are just gonna talk ball at levels that are
- 42:33Speaker 1: out of this world. Meg, you asked me during the
- 42:35Speaker 1: break about Keighley and CBS, and I think I may,
- 42:38Speaker 1: in my head have just figured out what's going on here,
- 42:41Speaker 1: because Luke Keighley has been or is doing. I don't
- 42:44Speaker 1: remember him on there, but I apparently he has. He's
- 42:47Speaker 1: part of CBS Sports Network on some of those random
- 42:50Speaker 1: college games that like Mountain West, they said, no, we
- 42:52Speaker 1: don't do it. I do wonder and I think this
- 42:54Speaker 1: is what happened here. I think he got listed in
- 42:57Speaker 1: an article for calling NFL games because remember the utility
- 43:03Speaker 1: guy that did some games was Ross Tucker. He do
- 43:06Speaker 1: some games one week if they had an extra game,
- 43:08Speaker 1: he wouldn't do them all. Well, Tony Romo gets in trouble,
- 43:11Speaker 1: Ross Tucker now goes to JJ Watt spot. JJ Watt
- 43:14Speaker 1: goes to Romo spot. I think they had Kickle under
- 43:17Speaker 1: contract already for CBS for college. I wonder if they
- 43:20Speaker 1: threw in some of those two or three games that
- 43:23Speaker 1: Ross Tucker has with Tom McCarthy, and that's why he's
- 43:26Speaker 1: now getting listed at some of those guys. Yeah, that
- 43:28Speaker 1: priacause Ross Tucker is not a full time guy and
- 43:31Speaker 1: needed a guy to do that.
- 43:32Speaker 4: They you know what, one of the articles mentioned it
- 43:34Speaker 4: was announced like during the whole Romo thing.
- 43:37Speaker 1: That's what it was.
- 43:38Speaker 4: So that's exactly what it was talking picked up a
- 43:40Speaker 4: little bit of work because.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Roe Tucker was the utility guy who did some stuff.
- 43:43Speaker 1: He moved up and now Keickley moves into that.
- 43:45Speaker 3: He's going to be everything the first time got the
- 43:47Speaker 3: betterment of Tony Romo.
- 43:55Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe for he's a jolly Gooffennie. For he's that's
- 44:01Speaker 1: more like it. That's more like it.
- 44:02Speaker 4: When you talk about the twenty fifteen Thanksgiving game there,
- 44:06Speaker 4: Adam Schefter is really it really isn't Charlotte but I
- 44:09Speaker 4: just wanted to mention it. Adam Schefter said yesterday he
- 44:11Speaker 4: doesn't think the Bucks are looking to trade vide Vea,
- 44:14Speaker 4: but via Vea's camp is Adam, and hey, he doesn't
- 44:16Speaker 4: want to ever play. This is a standoff. But I
- 44:19Speaker 4: guess the Bucks could literally just be like, dude, we're
- 44:22Speaker 4: not trading. You come to work at some point, because
- 44:24Speaker 4: at some point, Bony he probably doesn't want to lose paychecks.
- 44:27Speaker 4: It's the last year of his deal. He probably don't.
- 44:29Speaker 4: You definitely don't want to lose a year of service
- 44:32Speaker 4: towards free agency. So I don't know.
- 44:35Speaker 1: Do you think he plays for the Bucks this year? Absolutely?
- 44:38Speaker 4: Yeah, you think they just play hardbone Eventually he's like,
- 44:40Speaker 4: let me play one more time with these fools, and
- 44:42Speaker 4: then both I think, let's see all right. So the
- 44:44Speaker 4: Panthers fans bone. This is the second fan rankings thing
- 44:49Speaker 4: I have seen in the last two weeks. This is
- 44:53Speaker 4: from Nielsen, the folks that do like the TV ratings bone.
- 44:57Speaker 4: They did a survey term thank the Fan Index NFL
- 45:02Speaker 4: fandom Index, and it's based on all kinds of different criteria.
- 45:09Speaker 4: Let's see here. It's based on apparel purchases, general interest levels,
- 45:15Speaker 4: live event attendance, betting intent, social media engagement, radio listenership
- 45:22Speaker 4: all right, streaming habits, and linear TV viewership. And the
- 45:27Speaker 4: Panthers fan base ranks sixteenth BONE, so right in the middle.
- 45:34Speaker 1: Nie where we were for the optimism ranking.
- 45:36Speaker 4: It is the top ones BONE are a lot of
- 45:40Speaker 4: the small like just football crazed markets. Buffalo one, Kansas
- 45:47Speaker 4: City two, Green Bay three, Cincinnati four, Philadelphia five, Pittsburgh six,
- 45:53Speaker 4: Baltimore seven.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Interesting. Interesting there. I obviously would have just guessed straight
- 45:59Speaker 1: up Baltimore and Green Bay and Kansas City because of
- 46:03Speaker 1: the passion, and they also win a lot of football games.
- 46:06Speaker 1: I wouldn't have guessed Cincinnati would have been that high.
- 46:09Speaker 1: Since that he's true, I have a little surprised Cincinnati's
- 46:11Speaker 1: higher than Pittsburgh. Yeah, isn't that weird? That's I would
- 46:14Speaker 1: have not I would have not guessed. That doesn't make sense,
- 46:16Speaker 1: does it? Higher than Philly? Why they live for their
- 46:19Speaker 1: birds in Philly. I did not doub That's what I
- 46:22Speaker 1: would have. I would have thought Cincinnati might be more
- 46:24Speaker 1: than the Panther New Orleans eight.
- 46:27Speaker 4: Are they that great of a I mean, I know
- 46:30Speaker 4: if they I guess if I guess I guess we've
- 46:33Speaker 4: seen it over here, like when the team stinks, I
- 46:35Speaker 4: guess they're empty seats.
- 46:37Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean. But I don't know.
- 46:40Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised by the we're England's ten. Where's
- 46:42Speaker 1: New England on there? I thought they'd be relatively high
- 46:44Speaker 1: on the New England is. They're a passionate budget. Oh
- 46:49Speaker 1: they called Boston twenty one twenty one. The big markets
- 46:53Speaker 1: are at the bottom though. Yeah, New York is thirty.
- 46:56Speaker 4: LA twenty nine, Miami twenty eight, San Francisco twenty, Tampa
- 47:01Speaker 4: twenty six.
- 47:02Speaker 1: I'm glad to see that. I don't think those Bucks
- 47:04Speaker 1: fans they don't love it the way they love college
- 47:06Speaker 1: football there. And you would know, you would stay at
- 47:09Speaker 1: flour down there in Florida, so you would have a
- 47:11Speaker 1: sense of the actual football fan down there in Florida.
- 47:15Speaker 4: I mean, how many times have we seen bucket low
- 47:17Speaker 4: turnout of Bucks games?
- 47:18Speaker 1: You know, stuff like that. I don't know. The also
- 47:20Speaker 1: kind of week, it also goes to say Ben, the
- 47:23Speaker 1: New York part of that. Also, it's not only the
- 47:24Speaker 1: big market. Their teams are often dreadful and out of it.
- 47:29Speaker 1: By about October first, if not before that. So, if
- 47:32Speaker 1: the New York teams were better, I wonder what that
- 47:35Speaker 1: number would look like when we come there. Never are,
- 47:37Speaker 1: but I wonder what it looks like they never are.
- 47:40Speaker 1: I thought, I'm a fan of those teams. When we
- 47:42Speaker 1: come back. Here we go again with Bryce ya On,
- 47:44Speaker 1: a national media guy makes a bold prediction that the
- 47:48Speaker 1: Panthers will draft a QB in the first round in
- 47:52Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. Be BOP's Dream. We'll discuss Sports Radio
- 47:55Speaker 1: ninety two seven WFZ
