- 0:27Speaker 4: Lions bring pressure.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Young stays in.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Throws a touchdown to McMillan who's having an amazing night.
- 0:34Speaker 3: First and goal for the two.
- 0:35Speaker 5: Right back to Hubbard. Inside to the goal line.
- 0:40Speaker 4: Looks like he's in for the touchdown he is.
- 0:45Speaker 5: Need 13 to keep it alive.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Goff climbs the pocket, throws.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Can Tesla get there? No.
- 0:50Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Tackled by Will Lee.
- 0:55Speaker 4: And the Panthers take.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Over. We fell alive. We fell alive. The times never
- 1:03Speaker 3: seemed so good. So good! So good!
- 1:07Speaker 4: So good!
- 1:08Speaker 5: Oh my God, we got that dub last night on
- 1:10Speaker 5: national TV, y'all. And everybody that was at the bank
- 1:13Speaker 5: last night, actually probably not awake yet. But at some point,
- 1:16Speaker 5: hopefully y'all will join us on this radio show if
- 1:20Speaker 5: you're at the bank. We've got so much to talk about.
- 1:23Speaker 5: The boys did it. They pulled it off despite all
- 1:26Speaker 5: the injuries. And we got more last night. Bryce Young
- 1:30Speaker 5: showed the whole nation what type of quarterback he is
- 1:34Speaker 5: in year four. T-Mac said forget about the Cleveland game
- 1:38Speaker 5: with two catches and went the heck off. And the defense,
- 1:42Speaker 5: the defense without... Mike Jack and JC Horn had to
- 1:46Speaker 5: hold it off to end the game. It was beautiful
- 1:49Speaker 5: last night. There is so much to talk about with
- 1:52Speaker 5: this Panthers win. And we will do it right here
- 1:55Speaker 5: on the Mac and bone show. We got college football
- 1:57Speaker 5: to talk about. I don't mean to ruin it for.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Some of y'all.
- 2:00Speaker 5: Do we have to, I don't mean to ruin it,
- 2:02Speaker 5: but we will talk college football weekend. The Braves won
- 2:06Speaker 5: last night. That game was on simultaneously with the Panthers.
- 2:09Speaker 5: So if you're a Panther slash Braves fan, you had
- 2:11Speaker 5: a really good Sunday night. The Bucs are 0-4. We
- 2:16Speaker 5: get to hate watch the Falcons and the Saints tonight.
- 2:19Speaker 5: And we get to a bye week, which we need
- 2:21Speaker 5: desperately with the injury situation. So vibes should be good
- 2:25Speaker 5: today on the Mac and Bone Show. The Bone Man
- 2:29Speaker 5: in the house. The Fit Dog in the house. We
- 2:32Speaker 5: get to do a little victory dance today. Boney, how
- 2:35Speaker 5: you feeling, Bone?
- 2:36Speaker 4: What's going on?
- 2:37Speaker 2: My main man, Maxwell Foley. What's happening today, man? I'm
- 2:40Speaker 2: going to tell you right now, there's a great chance
- 2:42Speaker 2: that either one of us, two of us, or all
- 2:44Speaker 2: three of us ends up with our pants off during
- 2:47Speaker 2: the radio show today. It just feels that way, right?
- 2:50Speaker 2: Because we want to be comfortable in a moment of
- 2:52Speaker 2: football passion here, right? We're having a passionate football moment here.
- 2:56Speaker 5: I thought you were going to say during the dance,
- 2:58Speaker 5: because I'm pretty sure there is a chance that Fitty
- 3:00Speaker 5: does his first fully naked victory dance. And I don't
- 3:03Speaker 5: know if I care. I got to be honest with you.
- 3:06Speaker 5: Do we have the blurring technology here? Is that too
- 3:09Speaker 5: much to ask? We have it somewhere.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Can we do that?
- 3:12Speaker 1: Are you giving me the green light?
- 3:15Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not going to stop you.
- 3:16Speaker 5: I don't want to be on the record as advocating, though, totally.
- 3:20Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Bo? I don't know. You're
- 3:22Speaker 4: a grown man. I'll put it that way.
- 3:23Speaker 2: We'll text the bosses and say, hey, Finney wants to
- 3:25Speaker 2: get naked. What's the parameters here? Let's ask for forgiveness
- 3:29Speaker 2: on that one rather than permission. As I tell Murphy,
- 3:31Speaker 2: don't show your kibbles and bits in public, so maybe
- 3:33Speaker 2: I don't know what the rules.
- 3:34Speaker 6: Are for this.
- 3:34Speaker 4: He has no choice unless you put pants on him.
- 3:36Speaker 4: That's true. I mean, if there's a lady around, don't
- 3:38Speaker 4: lift your leg, all right? Let's be classy here.
- 3:40Speaker 1: I slept in this building without any shorts on last night.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I can dance in the splitting without any shorts on.
- 3:46Speaker 4: I don't even want to know who's poor.
- 3:48Speaker 2: The poor person who's couched. Can you indicate just where
- 3:51Speaker 2: did you sleep?
- 3:53Speaker 4: Promotions. That's all right.
- 3:55Speaker 5: Hopefully Latoya's not awake yet.
- 3:57Speaker 4: They've seen worse. Oh, they have, have they? Oh, AJ's
- 4:01Speaker 4: down there. Okay, is that worse?
- 4:03Speaker 5: Oh, he didn't wear pants all of 2022. I'm not
- 4:06Speaker 5: sure any Panther fan should wear pants today. That win
- 4:10Speaker 5: was awesome. Of course, I picked the Lions. You picked
- 4:13Speaker 5: the Lions, Bone. These things might be related. They might
- 4:16Speaker 5: not be related. You're welcome, America. I had a feeling
- 4:19Speaker 5: it would be a spirited effort and Bryce would play
- 4:21Speaker 5: well and the offense would play well. I just didn't know, Bone,
- 4:24Speaker 5: if we'd be the one winning it. First of all,
- 4:27Speaker 5: I mean, Bryce Young was just ridiculous last night. And
- 4:29Speaker 5: the game plan from Brad Idzik, when we're all so
- 4:32Speaker 5: worried about our wounded offensive line and Aiden Hutchinson, my God,
- 4:36Speaker 5: the game plan was just beautiful. rpo heavy let's get
- 4:40Speaker 5: it out quick and let's you know 2.5 seconds let's
- 4:44Speaker 5: get this thing the heck out of bryce's hands let's
- 4:47Speaker 5: get t-mac going early and um let's also give aiden
- 4:51Speaker 5: hutchinson a lot of attention he still ended up according
- 4:54Speaker 5: to pff with seven pressures but it wasn't like he
- 4:57Speaker 5: wrecked shop and when he hit bryce bone it often
- 5:01Speaker 5: was as bryce was releasing a dime You know what
- 5:05Speaker 5: I mean?
- 5:05Speaker 2: Yeah, throwing away from him a lot, as Collinsworth chronicled,
- 5:08Speaker 2: it was a masterful job in planning for that and
- 5:13Speaker 2: the execution. Not only does T-Mac really get rolled, we
- 5:16Speaker 2: said with Trevor Sikkim on Friday, hey, is this a game?
- 5:21Speaker 2: That with the Lions secondary, Coker and Liget likely being out.
- 5:26Speaker 2: We didn't really know about Coker fully yet. Yeah, that
- 5:28Speaker 2: one was a bummer. Is this a game that TMAC
- 5:30Speaker 2: can really get going to be that star wideout? That
- 5:33Speaker 2: one sure did. And Chuba really got rolling as well
- 5:36Speaker 2: there for a stretch. I wish they would have used
- 5:38Speaker 2: a little more down the stretch to kill some clock,
- 5:41Speaker 2: but that's for more concerns later on. That second-to-last drive
- 5:45Speaker 2: with two passes stopping the clock, I felt like there
- 5:49Speaker 2: should have at least been two runs in there. And
- 5:52Speaker 2: then as great as the Bryce throw on the run
- 5:55Speaker 2: to TMAC. which honestly is one of the most amazing
- 5:58Speaker 2: Panther plays I have ever seen. They still had to
- 6:00Speaker 2: kick it. They still had to punt it. But the
- 6:03Speaker 2: defense came up big.
- 6:04Speaker 5: Prince Lee Sack on the final series set them off schedule,
- 6:07Speaker 5: and they were able to get the stop. Ransom and
- 6:09Speaker 5: Lee with a stop in front of the line. and
- 6:13Speaker 5: they end up winning this damn thing. And, I mean,
- 6:16Speaker 5: America got to see what Bryce and TMAC are all about.
- 6:19Speaker 5: They got to see the keep-pounding mindset. Like, that's what
- 6:22Speaker 5: that was. That's what this Panther team is. And I
- 6:25Speaker 5: was talking to Fitty before the show, and Fitty's, like,
- 6:27Speaker 5: bringing up the culture. They now have culture bone. That's
- 6:31Speaker 5: a culture type of win, just like the Rams win
- 6:33Speaker 5: was last year. And it makes me annoyed with myself
- 6:37Speaker 5: that I didn't see that they were going to pull
- 6:38Speaker 5: this off again because we kind of, I think fans
- 6:41Speaker 5: were saying to themselves yesterday, this is a type of
- 6:44Speaker 5: game they win. But we're so wounded. We're so hurt.
- 6:48Speaker 5: And like you said, the Coker thing happened, Bone, over
- 6:50Speaker 5: the weekend. Really, yesterday morning when Adam Schefter reported it.
- 6:55Speaker 5: But my God, TMAC just took it over. And then
- 6:58Speaker 5: everybody else just does a little bit. You know, I
- 7:01Speaker 5: think it was four other guys that had multiple catches.
- 7:03Speaker 5: Bryce spread it around, eight or nine receivers.
- 7:06Speaker 4: It just.
- 7:06Speaker 5: And Bryce Young also, and this is something we need
- 7:09Speaker 5: to talk about today, the talk of Bryce Young being
- 7:13Speaker 5: just a game manager, and I've had the conversation too. Like,
- 7:17Speaker 5: I don't know if Bryce is ever going to be
- 7:18Speaker 5: the guy that just picks up his team and completely
- 7:21Speaker 5: elevates everybody.
- 7:23Speaker 4: And that's over. Bryce Young elevates this team.
- 7:26Speaker 5: He elevated him last week in Cleveland, was maybe the
- 7:28Speaker 5: only offensive reason why we had a chance bone in
- 7:31Speaker 5: that game late. And he elevated everybody without the number
- 7:35Speaker 5: two and three receivers and a bunch of offensive linemen
- 7:38Speaker 5: last night. He is an elevator, dude. I have to
- 7:40Speaker 5: be honest with you. I supported Bryce Young. I felt
- 7:45Speaker 5: good about Bryce Young. He has taken his game to
- 7:48Speaker 5: a freaking level that I'm not even sure I anticipated,
- 7:51Speaker 5: especially at the start of the season. As slow as
- 7:54Speaker 5: he usually starts, Bo, that's the thing about this, man.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Yeah, we changed our expectation. I say we. I don't
- 8:00Speaker 2: want to speak for you, but. I feel like we
- 8:02Speaker 2: were on the same page. We changed our mindset of
- 8:05Speaker 2: where we think Bryce can rank within the league. We said, hey, man,
- 8:09Speaker 2: if he's ever top 12, top 15, based off the
- 8:12Speaker 2: start of his career, that would be considered a win
- 8:15Speaker 2: based off how bad it looked like it was going.
- 8:17Speaker 2: But then you look at the start of the year,
- 8:19Speaker 2: you look at last night, and we'll talk about it
- 8:21Speaker 2: later on in the show, do we now change that
- 8:24Speaker 2: expectation and raise him higher than that because the way
- 8:27Speaker 2: he's playing, the crowd's getting MVP last night? And it's
- 8:30Speaker 2: not satire. Like, it's legit through the first quarter of
- 8:33Speaker 2: the season, Bryce Young's name has to be mentioned. Two
- 8:37Speaker 2: other numbers that I think have to be mentioned that
- 8:40Speaker 2: I thought there's no way, if you would have told me, 26th,
- 8:43Speaker 2: that the Lions, without Mike Jack and J.C. Horn, would
- 8:47Speaker 2: only end up with 26 points, I would say, what,
- 8:49Speaker 2: in the first half? Even if the Panthers won the game,
- 8:51Speaker 2: I'd say there's no way they're only getting 26. That
- 8:55Speaker 2: number and 77. I thought there's no way. that Gibbs
- 8:59Speaker 2: is only going to have 77 total yards in the game.
- 9:02Speaker 2: They neutralized Gibbs, and they neutralized Hutchinson as best they
- 9:06Speaker 2: could last night. Two of the main game wreckers on
- 9:08Speaker 2: their team didn't wreck the game last night, did they? No.
- 9:11Speaker 4: That's good coaching.
- 9:12Speaker 5: I already talked about Inzik's coaching job in the game plan.
- 9:15Speaker 4: It was amazing on offense. And they were more balanced, too.
- 9:20Speaker 5: And especially in the second half when they got it
- 9:23Speaker 5: going on the ground, too. But the defensive game plan
- 9:26Speaker 5: against Gibbs was tremendous, tremendously executed by all. And I
- 9:31Speaker 5: remember last week I compared it to Bijan. I said, man,
- 9:33Speaker 5: I think it's good that they had a game-to-game plan
- 9:36Speaker 5: for Bijan. They gave up 81 total yards to Bijan,
- 9:40Speaker 5: or 91.
- 9:42Speaker 4: I thought, shoot, if they do that.
- 9:44Speaker 5: I don't even think it was possible. I was asking
- 9:47Speaker 5: for like 120. And to hold him to 3.1 yards
- 9:51Speaker 5: a carry, the run defense was phenomenal. And then to
- 9:54Speaker 5: only allow then 31 yards receiving, it was a great job.
- 9:59Speaker 5: And hell, they gave up almost 40 yards passing. We
- 10:02Speaker 5: knew they were going to give up yards. But what
- 10:03Speaker 5: do I talk about all the time, Bo? Four point plays.
- 10:07Speaker 5: You make them kick field goals and you do it
- 10:10Speaker 5: over and over again. And it adds up, especially in
- 10:13Speaker 5: a game like that. And we left points out there
- 10:15Speaker 5: on the field. There should have been two more. Fitzy,
- 10:17Speaker 5: I ain't going to get too mad at you, Fitzy.
- 10:19Speaker 5: But the two missed extra points. And I thought the
- 10:22Speaker 5: end of the first half was, as much as I'm
- 10:24Speaker 5: going to praise everybody involved today, Bone, the end of
- 10:26Speaker 5: the first half was an abomination. I don't understand how
- 10:30Speaker 5: you're in this five-man umbrella, but then when the ball
- 10:33Speaker 5: snapped in that situation, two of the safeties just kind
- 10:37Speaker 5: of stay.
- 10:37Speaker 4: In the middle. So then it ends up. Barry didn't
- 10:39Speaker 4: move an inch.
- 10:40Speaker 5: So then you end up being like one single high
- 10:43Speaker 5: and it's single coverage on the outside against the Caleb Evans.
- 10:46Speaker 5: And I just want to say the very Southern thing
- 10:49Speaker 5: that needs to be said about poor Caleb Evans this morning.
- 10:52Speaker 4: Bless his heart. Bless his heart. Oh gosh.
- 10:55Speaker 5: Because that was an absolute brutal night at the office
- 10:59Speaker 5: for my man. But they got to W. They got
- 11:02Speaker 5: to W.
- 11:03Speaker 6: They did.
- 11:04Speaker 2: A lot of yards, but as we said, the number
- 11:06Speaker 2: that matters is 26. That's the amount of points they got,
- 11:09Speaker 2: and it worked. So it worked to get a W.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Now going to have to get a little better here
- 11:13Speaker 2: during the bye week and figure out the secondary parts.
- 11:16Speaker 2: I don't know if Caleb Evans is long for that spot,
- 11:19Speaker 2: but we'll see what happens here in the next couple weeks.
- 11:22Speaker 2: PFF's numbers, and again, they're not perfect. I think they're
- 11:25Speaker 2: giving him the long one where Nick Scott kind of
- 11:27Speaker 2: runs up to jump the short route and Tesla runs
- 11:34Speaker 2: past Evans. But PFF had it as into Evans coverage,
- 11:38Speaker 2: 12 for 15 for 208 yards.
- 11:40Speaker 6: Hmm.
- 11:45Speaker 5: So I don't know if Dan Morgan needs to make
- 11:47Speaker 5: a move, needs to bring someone in off the outside.
- 11:50Speaker 5: Evans played a lot better last week. Most offenses aren't
- 11:53Speaker 5: going to be like that, you know. So we'll see
- 11:55Speaker 5: what he ends up doing. But, again, yeah, win the
- 11:57Speaker 5: football game. I don't give a damn about passing yards,
- 12:00Speaker 5: giving up. If you can come up with two stops, Bone,
- 12:04Speaker 5: on downs in the last three drives like that. Princely
- 12:07Speaker 5: come up with a big sack. Just find a way
- 12:09Speaker 5: to get it done, man, while we're wounded.
- 12:12Speaker 2: We could wheel out– literally wheel out my jack or
- 12:16Speaker 2: horn and give up less than that last night.
- 12:18Speaker 5: Hey josh norman was in the building last night he
- 12:21Speaker 5: was maybe does he want to do it again um
- 12:24Speaker 5: so anyway but just delayed they showed their heart they
- 12:27Speaker 5: got this win for us um uh that i mean
- 12:31Speaker 5: the chips were down we will have to figure out
- 12:34Speaker 5: bone at some point what's up with free link's knee
- 12:36Speaker 5: he left the game What's up with Jalen Phillips' hamstring?
- 12:40Speaker 5: Another soft tissue injury? That is a disturbing trend. But, man,
- 12:46Speaker 5: what a night last night. God, that is just a
- 12:50Speaker 5: beautiful feeling as a Panther.
- 12:52Speaker 4: Fan right now.
- 12:53Speaker 2: I also love the fact we have a lot of
- 12:54Speaker 2: people right now just haven't been to bed yet. They
- 12:58Speaker 2: couldn't either sleep last night from watching the game or
- 13:01Speaker 2: they went to the game. Kevin has a newborn, so
- 13:03Speaker 2: he just watched the game and just stayed up all night.
- 13:06Speaker 2: That's right. We love the dedication, not only to the team,
- 13:09Speaker 2: but to your boys. the Mac and bone show. That's beautiful.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Beautiful, man.
- 13:13Speaker 2: No need to go to sleep. Now, Kevin, you made
- 13:15Speaker 2: it just for baby. It might be hard to sleep
- 13:17Speaker 2: with Mac yelling at you. That might not be possible.
- 13:19Speaker 2: The newborn Kevin or me or me after a Panthers win.
- 13:23Speaker 2: That might be a push. That might be a push.
- 13:26Speaker 5: The only disappointing thing is I was not in the
- 13:29Speaker 5: stadium last night. I had to make an old man decision.
- 13:33Speaker 6: Okay.
- 13:34Speaker 4: I had to make it old.
- 13:34Speaker 5: Look at Finnego trying to get me to cut a
- 13:36Speaker 5: promo again on his ass. Ain't happening today. I'm in
- 13:38Speaker 5: too good of a mood. But anyway, I walked as
- 13:44Speaker 5: fast as I could up that damn hill back to
- 13:46Speaker 5: the station last night, Bone, after the pregame. Got in
- 13:49Speaker 5: my car five minutes before the game started. My legs
- 13:51Speaker 5: are so sore today because of it. But I wanted
- 13:54Speaker 5: to just get home because if I'm at that game, Bone–
- 13:57Speaker 5: And I got like an hour and a half of
- 13:58Speaker 5: work to do after the game. I might have slept
- 14:02Speaker 5: like an.
- 14:02Speaker 4: Hour and a half. Then you're in promotions with Fitty
- 14:04Speaker 4: and he's wearing no gloves.
- 14:05Speaker 5: And I didn't want to sleep. I'm too old for
- 14:06Speaker 5: that crap. I didn't want to sleep here, man. Let
- 14:08Speaker 5: the young bucks like Fitty do it. But anyway, that's
- 14:10Speaker 5: the only thing is I wasn't in there. God, it
- 14:13Speaker 5: sounded so freaking loud over the TV, man. The keep
- 14:17Speaker 5: pounding chants, the MVP chants, that stuff was audible, man.
- 14:20Speaker 4: Charlotte Flair got it started last night. I saw that.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:23Speaker 4: I saw that.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Not sure her dad's allowed back into the state yet,
- 14:27Speaker 2: but Charlotte's out there.
- 14:27Speaker 4: Is that what we did? We're like, Rick, you ain't
- 14:29Speaker 4: coming back.
- 14:30Speaker 5: You've cheated on us with about 17 other teams, but
- 14:33Speaker 5: we'll let your daughter in.
- 14:34Speaker 6: Yes.
- 14:35Speaker 4: We'll let that happen.
- 14:37Speaker 5: Do need to mention, Bone, a couple other things because
- 14:39Speaker 5: it's hard to remember other sports exist after a game
- 14:43Speaker 5: like that last night. Especially if you're a fan of
- 14:45Speaker 5: the Gamecocks. You don't want to then. Braves did win
- 14:49Speaker 5: last night. Didier Fuentes was unfreaking believable in relief. Eleven
- 14:55Speaker 5: straight outs recorded when they needed them against the Dodger lineup. Yeah,
- 14:59Speaker 5: Muncy hit a home run and Iglesias came in and
- 15:02Speaker 5: got the final out. Harris had a big game, a
- 15:05Speaker 5: triple and a run score, then an RBI double, and
- 15:08Speaker 5: the Braves have tied this series by using basically the
- 15:12Speaker 5: bullpen through the first two games. Now they get to
- 15:15Speaker 5: the actual starters that are healthy. Chris Sale goes in
- 15:20Speaker 5: game three, Bone, and Malley, who has been tremendous since
- 15:23Speaker 5: being acquired by the Braves, goes in game four, so...
- 15:27Speaker 5: I certainly ain't going.
- 15:27Speaker 7: To jinx it.
- 15:28Speaker 4: I certainly ain't going to say anything. That was the
- 15:29Speaker 4: pregame chatter.
- 15:30Speaker 2: The guys on Fox talking about, is it a mistake
- 15:34Speaker 2: not to use sale on four days rest?
- 15:37Speaker 4: They did not. They took a chance. They went Johnny Holstaff.
- 15:40Speaker 4: And again, it works.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Johnny Holstaff. Is that yours or did you take that
- 15:44Speaker 2: as a result? That is an old school baseball term.
- 15:46Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Now, sale versus Yamamoto. tomorrow night so we go from
- 15:51Speaker 2: uh some from some bullpen type stuff your blake snell
- 15:54Speaker 2: was pretty rough too uh five walks for the for
- 15:57Speaker 2: the uh for the dodgers that is a hell of
- 15:59Speaker 2: a postseason pitching matchup tomorrow night that's a.
- 16:01Speaker 5: Great win man it really is uh for the brave
- 16:04Speaker 5: so they're back in that series not that they were
- 16:06Speaker 5: out of the series but they've evened that series at one.
- 16:08Speaker 5: We got the Bucs fourth straight loss yesterday as well.
- 16:12Speaker 5: And oh, by the way, Bucs, you play again in
- 16:13Speaker 5: a few hours against Dallas. When are they playing?
- 16:16Speaker 4: Thursday night. Oh, shoot.
- 16:17Speaker 3: All right.
- 16:18Speaker 5: Get on back after Dallas coming off that emotional. There
- 16:20Speaker 5: was some amazing one o'clock. Usually I'm not sitting there
- 16:24Speaker 5: just focused on the red zone for the one o'clock games,
- 16:26Speaker 5: but Those 1 o'clock, the.
- 16:28Speaker 4: Witching hour bone. Yeah, it witched yesterday.
- 16:31Speaker 5: Those 1 o'clock finishes were unbelievable, all happening simultaneously, man.
- 16:35Speaker 2: I texted Tara, it's amazing what happens when you're not
- 16:37Speaker 2: going through Panther afternoon depression. The 1 o'clock games, you
- 16:40Speaker 2: can focus on them, and then the 4 o'clock games,
- 16:42Speaker 2: you didn't have that feeling back of, oh, my God,
- 16:45Speaker 2: what did the Panthers just do?
- 16:46Speaker 4: I'm sad.
- 16:47Speaker 2: It was a happy time, and the whole day was
- 16:49Speaker 2: that way because the Panthers got that dub-dub.
- 16:52Speaker 4: Later on.
- 16:52Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 16:52Speaker 5: I mean, in fairness to the Panthers, it's not like
- 16:55Speaker 5: it used to be where it was depression every week.
- 16:56Speaker 4: That's true.
- 16:57Speaker 5: It's we are we and this is something they need
- 16:59Speaker 5: to fix. This win one lose one thing has continued
- 17:02Speaker 5: from last year into this year. But yeah, even if
- 17:06Speaker 5: the Panthers are winning, I'm not really paying attention to
- 17:08Speaker 5: anything else. Someone could come in and rob my house.
- 17:11Speaker 5: And as long as they don't take the TV I'm
- 17:13Speaker 5: watching at the house. I will not care nor notice.
- 17:16Speaker 4: That's all that's worth stealing.
- 17:17Speaker 5: When the Panthers are playing. Did I just tell everybody
- 17:19Speaker 5: the recipe to come in and stay? I don't really
- 17:22Speaker 5: have anything that's going to be worth that much.
- 17:24Speaker 4: Do you?
- 17:25Speaker 2: They're going to look at your couch and say, do
- 17:27Speaker 2: we really want to touch that thing right now?
- 17:28Speaker 5: Bucs owe it for the big dent I put there
- 17:30Speaker 5: by sitting there constantly. So the Bucs are 0-4. That's
- 17:34Speaker 5: good news. Panthers guaranteed to be in first place. At
- 17:37Speaker 5: the end of the night tonight, it's just a matter
- 17:39Speaker 5: of who wins, Atlanta or New Orleans, and who ends
- 17:43Speaker 5: up tied with us. Chase Briscoe, shout out. He gets
- 17:47Speaker 5: the win in Vegas. Kyle Larson finishes second and adds
- 17:52Speaker 5: more points to his points lead. So I'm not mad
- 17:56Speaker 5: about that either, Bone Man.
- 17:58Speaker 4: No, sirree.
- 17:59Speaker 2: We come back here on the Mac and Bone Victory
- 18:03Speaker 2: Monday edition. College Football Recap. State with a huge win.
- 18:08Speaker 2: The Gamecocks lose in overtime. Clemson and Charlotte both get rocked.
- 18:13Speaker 2: UNC with the fight but falls. And we've got to
- 18:15Speaker 2: give a shout-out to the Red Hot. Wake Forest, Demon Deacon,
- 18:18Speaker 2: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
- 18:51Speaker 5: Sports Radio 97 WFNC. Mack and Bone with you. Hopefully
- 18:57Speaker 5: we got some folks awake out there. If you are,
- 18:59Speaker 5: let us know. The text line is buzzing, so we
- 19:02Speaker 5: definitely do. What's your amount of sleep hours? We've got Kevin,
- 19:06Speaker 5: the dad, at zero. Anybody want to match Kevin with
- 19:09Speaker 5: an all-nighter? There's got to be some all-nighters, Bone, that
- 19:12Speaker 5: are not doing the responsible parenting all-nighter. There's got to
- 19:15Speaker 5: be some all-nighters of people that have been, like, maybe
- 19:17Speaker 5: celebrating since the victory.
- 19:19Speaker 4: Hopefully there's not some all-nighters.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Maybe it's now time to rest and listen to Mac
- 19:23Speaker 2: and Bone, and maybe your significant other takes the child
- 19:28Speaker 2: to school, the bus stop. Maybe it's time just— you put
- 19:31Speaker 2: in a lot of effort last night. Get some rest
- 19:33Speaker 2: in now. But keep the radio on, though.
- 19:35Speaker 5: Keep the radio on. There's no rest for the first place.
- 19:39Speaker 5: Carolina Panther Nation, baby. There is no rest today. Well,
- 19:43Speaker 5: there will be for me at about noon, though. I'm
- 19:44Speaker 5: not going to lie to you. But we can't talk
- 19:47Speaker 5: enough about Panthers and Lions. and all the things that
- 19:50Speaker 5: were done well last night and how they got this win.
- 19:53Speaker 5: We just got to text Jameer Gibbs, who? So there
- 19:57Speaker 5: you go. We've got Baron with Ice Bryce, baby. um
- 20:01Speaker 5: uh that is the baron sang the song baby and
- 20:04Speaker 5: uh ever since bryce young uh has been playing at
- 20:08Speaker 5: a different dang level cory and rock hill is four
- 20:11Speaker 5: hours sleep that feels like too much cory yeah cory
- 20:16Speaker 5: cory you're not.
- 20:17Speaker 4: A football guy obviously well.
- 20:19Speaker 5: I mean he you could you could watch the entire
- 20:21Speaker 5: game and sleep for four years i was just i
- 20:23Speaker 5: was just kidding what did you get what did you
- 20:25Speaker 5: get last probably about five Five.
- 20:28Speaker 4: Oh, damn, look at you. No, no, hold on. So,
- 20:31Speaker 4: what time did the game end? 11.40, I think.
- 20:34Speaker 2: I didn't watch any of the post-game stuff. I went
- 20:36Speaker 2: to bed pretty quickly. I read a book for, like,
- 20:38Speaker 2: ten minutes. Because that puts me to sleep quicker.
- 20:42Speaker 5: I read Panthers PFF advanced stats last night, and it
- 20:45Speaker 5: was glorious, man.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Probably, like, 11.50 to.
- 20:51Speaker 4: About four. That feels good.
- 20:53Speaker 5: That feels like that's on the high end for Panther
- 20:55Speaker 5: fans today. Speaking of those PFF advanced stats that I read, Bone,
- 21:02Speaker 5: there are some glorious ones for Bryce. Hell, you don't
- 21:05Speaker 5: even need the advanced stats.
- 21:08Speaker 4: For T-Mac. His day was ridiculous. How about this one?
- 21:12Speaker 5: PFF, Bryce was really 14 of 16 throwing to T-Mac,
- 21:17Speaker 5: but one was a throwaway that just went over top
- 21:21Speaker 5: of him, but it was an obvious throwaway. So PFF
- 21:23Speaker 5: credits him 14 of 15.
- 21:26Speaker 4: To TMAC.
- 21:27Speaker 5: Perfect rating throwing to TMAC last night on 16, or
- 21:31Speaker 5: I guess 15 attempts, if you don't count the throwaway.
- 21:34Speaker 5: TMAC 14 for 192 and two tutties. And he goes
- 21:40Speaker 5: into the camera, and I hope that there is audio
- 21:43Speaker 5: of this somewhere. The clip I saw, Bone, had no audio,
- 21:46Speaker 5: and TMAC was very bummed to hear it had no audio.
- 21:49Speaker 5: But TMAC, after the second touchdown, put his face in
- 21:52Speaker 5: the camera And said, he said, shout out Steve Smith.
- 21:57Speaker 5: If you see this face, that means I scored again.
- 22:02Speaker 4: He did the Smitty. That's awesome. He did the Smitty
- 22:04Speaker 4: to the camera.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Credit to Eric from our friend from CNN, who diehard
- 22:08Speaker 2: Panther fan, sent me this in the middle of the
- 22:10Speaker 2: game last night. T-Max 192 ties Muhsin Muhammad for the
- 22:16Speaker 2: second all-time best receiving yard performance in the regular season
- 22:20Speaker 2: of Panther history. Muhsin had a 192. smitty's got a
- 22:24Speaker 2: 201 in there he's also got the bears postseason this
- 22:27Speaker 2: is counting the regular season but that is the second
- 22:30Speaker 2: most yards ever uh in a game for a panther
- 22:34Speaker 2: player i don't know about gotta look up catches though
- 22:36Speaker 2: where's 14 catches rank all time i wonder Check on
- 22:39Speaker 2: that one there.
- 22:40Speaker 4: I didn't see that stat. It also, I think, was
- 22:42Speaker 4: second in catches. Okay.
- 22:44Speaker 5: But I don't know the actual record now that I
- 22:46Speaker 5: think about it. But, yeah, we'll have to dig that
- 22:49Speaker 5: one up.
- 22:49Speaker 4: Texters. We got a texter with two hours sleep, and
- 22:52Speaker 4: he feels like death.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Uh christian mccaffrey holds that record okay 15 catches versus
- 22:58Speaker 2: the colts in.
- 22:59Speaker 5: 2019 and i'm guessing his average distance of target and
- 23:02Speaker 5: yards per catch was lower than t-mac um although there.
- 23:05Speaker 4: Were some short ones some quick one rpr rpo throws
- 23:08Speaker 4: 15 for 119 that.
- 23:10Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Big difference. Big difference.
- 23:13Speaker 5: Let's see what else we have going on in the
- 23:14Speaker 5: text line. Yeah, Brennan is the one that feels like
- 23:16Speaker 5: death bone because he got two hours sleep. It's got
- 23:20Speaker 5: to be worth it, though, doesn't it? Tommy Toughass is
- 23:25Speaker 5: on the team. text line is that a new texter
- 23:27Speaker 5: name now um being a braves and panther fan it
- 23:30Speaker 5: was a great night glad for both of these teams
- 23:33Speaker 5: slept for 30 minutes and then willie's dad are you
- 23:36Speaker 5: really willie's dad because if so your son played a
- 23:38Speaker 5: hell of a game i'm thinking you might not be
- 23:40Speaker 5: though um willie's dad has been waiting since 1 a.m
- 23:44Speaker 5: to hear us talk about the way bryce diced the
- 23:47Speaker 5: lions up man absolutely just waiting And like I said,
- 23:51Speaker 5: when the show began there, there is legitimate discussions to
- 23:54Speaker 5: be had about where Bryce Crowley ranks. It's way early
- 23:58Speaker 5: in the season. There's a long way to go. But
- 24:01Speaker 5: in the first quarter, Mark. where does Bryce rank with
- 24:04Speaker 5: the MVPs of the league? And that's no longer Mac
- 24:07Speaker 5: a price is the MVP. It's a legitimate discussion with
- 24:12Speaker 5: the way that dude, our franchise dude is balling right now.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Big time.
- 24:16Speaker 5: And I think if we would, I think it went
- 24:18Speaker 5: against the Browns at a three and one record. would
- 24:22Speaker 5: really have done wonders for that. But I'm told they
- 24:25Speaker 5: do not hand out an MVP four weeks in, but
- 24:27Speaker 5: it's just, it's awesome.
- 24:29Speaker 2: If he could have, if he could have led them
- 24:30Speaker 2: back on that last drive, if they would have won it.
- 24:32Speaker 4: But again, he got him in a lead twice.
- 24:34Speaker 5: He did, you know, defense gave up points, but it's
- 24:38Speaker 5: awesome just to hear the crowd chanting MVP.
- 24:41Speaker 4: And it like, it's not funny.
- 24:43Speaker 5: He is playing that good, still leading the league in
- 24:47Speaker 5: yards passing, nine touchdowns out the gate. But we're going
- 24:50Speaker 5: to talk college football right now. Maybe we'll start, Bone,
- 24:52Speaker 5: with a team that won so we don't segue immediately
- 24:55Speaker 5: from the Panthers to frustration on the college side. We'll
- 25:00Speaker 5: start with NC State. Wolfpack Bone called this on Friday.
- 25:06Speaker 2: I did.
- 25:06Speaker 5: Wolfpack Mac did not have the stones to call this
- 25:10Speaker 5: win for NC State. And if he did, they probably
- 25:13Speaker 5: wouldn't have won the game because Wolfpack Bleep and the
- 25:16Speaker 5: Mac Curse do not team up well.
- 25:18Speaker 4: But what a performance.
- 25:20Speaker 2: C.J.
- 25:20Speaker 5: Bailey is on a heater. Like, the Vanderbilt play, obviously,
- 25:24Speaker 5: was a brain fart. But, I mean, the way he
- 25:27Speaker 5: is playing, Bone, the last four games of the season
- 25:30Speaker 5: since the hideous game against Virginia, he is on a heater,
- 25:35Speaker 5: and he was dropping dimes deep. They had six different players, Bone,
- 25:39Speaker 5: catch passes of 24 yards or more from him the
- 25:41Speaker 5: other night. Absolutely ridiculous in the win to Louisville. That
- 25:45Speaker 5: is reminiscent of their big wins last year. Like we
- 25:48Speaker 5: said on Friday, Virginia early in the season, Georgia Tech
- 25:52Speaker 5: when they were ranked number eight later in the season.
- 25:54Speaker 5: I think it's a major credit to NC State for
- 25:56Speaker 5: the win. They needed that desperately also. I think, and
- 26:00Speaker 5: myself included, I think Louisville's got some major problems here.
- 26:04Speaker 5: They might make a change at maybe a D.C.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Here.
- 26:07Speaker 4: I don't know. That's what I read yesterday.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Louisville, by the way, one of the more disappointing teams
- 26:11Speaker 2: as we're trying to get the ACC better. That's a
- 26:14Speaker 2: disappointing year for Louisville right now.
- 26:16Speaker 5: Yeah, it is to have three losses already, especially the
- 26:19Speaker 5: way they played Ole Miss early in the season, and
- 26:21Speaker 5: then they beat SMU, and then to end up with
- 26:24Speaker 5: three losses five games into the season. But they have
- 26:28Speaker 5: Tobacco Road to thank, because it was the Wake NC
- 26:31Speaker 5: State back-to-back that got them. Harvey Dyson made maybe as
- 26:36Speaker 5: good as C.J. Bailey was, and all the guys around
- 26:38Speaker 5: him catching passes. Harvey Dyson made the play of the
- 26:42Speaker 5: season so far for NC State, running down Kiwan Brown
- 26:46Speaker 5: on that long run and punching that football out and
- 26:50Speaker 5: then pouncing on it. Absolutely mammoth play. Oh, by the way,
- 26:53Speaker 5: he's an edge rusher. 40-something yards downfield making that play.
- 26:58Speaker 5: So that was absolutely huge. Oh, by the way, noon
- 27:01Speaker 5: on Saturday, it's Wake and NC State.
- 27:04Speaker 4: Huge lead-up.
- 27:06Speaker 2: What a massive and entertaining game that's going to be.
- 27:08Speaker 2: I cannot wait for that one.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Huge lead-up.
- 27:10Speaker 5: Because, oh, by the way, Wake put up 50 freaking seven.
- 27:13Speaker 5: In an ACC game.
- 27:15Speaker 2: I get the sense that they could have gone for
- 27:18Speaker 2: 70 if they wanted to.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Well, they should have, so that way they could have
- 27:20Speaker 1: gotten ranked.
- 27:23Speaker 4: You think 70 would have done it, Fit? Or you
- 27:25Speaker 4: think it would have taken a hundred.
- 27:26Speaker 3: You think?
- 27:26Speaker 4: They lost to Miami. Give them some time. They're not
- 27:28Speaker 4: ranked yet. That's a bad loss to a bad team. Oh,
- 27:31Speaker 4: that's right. They lost to Miami.
- 27:33Speaker 1: Look, we know that the SEC is a better football
- 27:36Speaker 1: conference than the ACC. We know the Big Ten is
- 27:38Speaker 1: a better football conference than the ACC. But, Mac and Bone,
- 27:42Speaker 1: the disrespect from the voters after last week makes no sense.
- 27:46Speaker 1: And then after what you saw happen this week with
- 27:49Speaker 1: what week. Mac, they won a conference game by 54.
- 27:52Speaker 1: And they could have won by more if they wanted to.
- 27:55Speaker 1: And you're telling me there are 25 better teams in
- 27:58Speaker 1: the country than Wake Forest? And look, I don't like
- 28:02Speaker 1: coming to the defense of the Demon Deacons. There's a
- 28:04Speaker 1: certain guy on this radio station that homers for them.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I get annoyed by it. But that's one of the
- 28:09Speaker 1: 25 best teams in the country.
- 28:10Speaker 4: And how good is their quarterback, Fetty?
- 28:13Speaker 5: My God, wouldn't everybody around here like to have a
- 28:15Speaker 5: quarterback like that?
- 28:16Speaker 7: Wake.
- 28:17Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Finn. I'm sorry, Finn.
- 28:19Speaker 2: Wake opens up as three and a half point favorites
- 28:23Speaker 2: in Raleigh on Saturday. And 80 percent, excuse me, 83
- 28:26Speaker 2: percent of the money line right now is on Wake.
- 28:29Speaker 2: But yet they can't get they can't get ranked. Also,
- 28:31Speaker 2: I have a question about Wake. You know, I'm from Winston, right?
- 28:35Speaker 2: That's what the high school at Chris Paul. I heard
- 28:37Speaker 2: something about that. Am I allowed to, like, embrace my
- 28:41Speaker 2: inner demon deacon? What is that allowed to happen?
- 28:44Speaker 4: That would be shameless. Hold on now. You and your
- 28:48Speaker 4: Blue Devils are on a collision course with them.
- 28:50Speaker 2: They are, but my hometown team right there, I need
- 28:52Speaker 2: to make sure that they're doing all right over there.
- 28:54Speaker 4: Why do you need them? Just beat them at the
- 28:55Speaker 4: end of the season.
- 28:56Speaker 3: No, we will.
- 28:57Speaker 4: Are you giving in now?
- 28:58Speaker 6: No.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Because last week you were arguing.
- 28:59Speaker 2: I just asked you a simple question that I'm from there.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Am I allowed to say, hey, you know what?
- 29:04Speaker 4: That's one of my hometown teams. They're playing well right now.
- 29:07Speaker 4: That's rich, man. I'm just kidding.
- 29:08Speaker 5: That is rich. What an absolute wagon they are, man.
- 29:13Speaker 5: This is one hell of a wake team. Unfortunately, I believe,
- 29:17Speaker 5: have we exhausted everybody that won here, Bowdoin, the Carolinas?
- 29:21Speaker 4: Let me check my notes here.
- 29:22Speaker 5: App, ECU, and Duke were off, so they didn't lose.
- 29:25Speaker 5: We give them attaboys, all right? But, yeah, now you
- 29:29Speaker 5: got to get into the South Carolina, the Clemsons. UNC,
- 29:32Speaker 5: I got to be honest, losing by 11 points to
- 29:34Speaker 5: Notre Dame. I'm not going to, certainly not going to
- 29:38Speaker 5: say moral victory, but that was the least.
- 29:42Speaker 4: Of my concerns.
- 29:44Speaker 5: The teams that we need to address are South Carolina
- 29:47Speaker 5: blowing a 17-point lead.
- 29:51Speaker 4: The fact that they have blown.
- 29:53Speaker 5: This many double-digit leads under Shane Beamer is an appalling thing.
- 29:58Speaker 5: I don't even know if it's a trend anymore. It's
- 29:59Speaker 5: just the way it is, man.
- 30:01Speaker 4: God.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Oh, it's certainly a trend. That's the seventh time. This
- 30:04Speaker 2: is poor Brad Crawford. That's the seventh time under Beamer.
- 30:07Speaker 2: The Gamecocks have led by 10 or more points and
- 30:10Speaker 2: lost the game they were leading. Three of those losses
- 30:13Speaker 2: have come in their last four SEC games.
- 30:16Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 30:16Speaker 2: And at the end of the game, it was, I
- 30:19Speaker 2: view it as coaching malpractice at the end of the game.
- 30:22Speaker 2: So Kentucky's going for two to win the game in overtime.
- 30:26Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 30:26Speaker 2: You get an extra timeout in the overtime session. Shane
- 30:29Speaker 2: Beamer is right down there by the goal line. Clearly, clearly,
- 30:33Speaker 2: the Gamecock defenders are confused. They're looking at each other.
- 30:37Speaker 2: They have no idea what's going on. All hell is
- 30:39Speaker 2: breaking loose. The Kentucky tight end runs straight by them
- 30:43Speaker 2: to the back of the end zone. They catch the
- 30:45Speaker 2: two-point conversion. They win the football game. Shane Beamer's standing
- 30:48Speaker 2: right there. He's watching his defenders talk to each other, pointing,
- 30:52Speaker 2: and as they're pointing, the player runs right by them.
- 30:55Speaker 2: You had a timeout. Why in God's name were you
- 30:58Speaker 2: zoned out? Were you thinking about how you're going to
- 31:00Speaker 2: explain this collapse? What was going on there? You had
- 31:04Speaker 2: a timeout. Did you not know you had one? I
- 31:06Speaker 2: don't know how that's possible. How did you not call
- 31:08Speaker 2: a timeout and get your guy set when your entire
- 31:11Speaker 2: future's on the line on a play like that?
- 31:13Speaker 4: That's a great question.
- 31:14Speaker 2: It really... It wasn't like they used a timeout already.
- 31:16Speaker 2: Did he forget they had one? Is it that simple?
- 31:19Speaker 2: Was he asked about it in the postgame? I have
- 31:21Speaker 2: to go. I was so disengaged with him, I didn't
- 31:23Speaker 2: even hear what he had. I mean, I saw the clips.
- 31:25Speaker 2: I mean, you have a timeout.
- 31:26Speaker 4: Call one. Get your guy's tag. Your job is on
- 31:29Speaker 4: the line.
- 31:29Speaker 2: It's a great point. You're right there. What are you
- 31:31Speaker 2: looking at? Your players are looking. And you know what's sad, too, Matt,
- 31:34Speaker 2: by the way? The players are looking at each other.
- 31:36Speaker 2: They're not looking at you for help over there. They're
- 31:39Speaker 2: looking at each other and like, this guy ain't going
- 31:40Speaker 2: to help us over here.
- 31:40Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 31:41Speaker 5: See, I didn't notice all that live. I just thought
- 31:43Speaker 5: it was their 58th coverage bust of the last two
- 31:45Speaker 5: weeks because, my God, they can have a coverage bust.
- 31:49Speaker 5: There is no doubt about it. But, yeah, that factor
- 31:52Speaker 5: where you could have maybe settled it down and avoided
- 31:55Speaker 5: the coverage bust that won the game, I also thought—
- 31:57Speaker 5: And you're right. It got to that point anyway, which
- 31:59Speaker 5: is another problem, by the way. I also thought fourth
- 32:01Speaker 5: and two. I also thought there was a fourth and
- 32:03Speaker 5: two bone late in regulation at the 43 where I
- 32:07Speaker 5: thought they could have rolled the dice and went for it.
- 32:09Speaker 5: And the game was tied at that point. Now they
- 32:11Speaker 5: were able bone to hold off Kentucky after they punted
- 32:14Speaker 5: and to force overtime. But I thought maybe you could
- 32:17Speaker 5: have gone for it there. It's a shame because Sellers,
- 32:21Speaker 5: he still dropped the football out of nowhere with no
- 32:23Speaker 5: one touching him on fourth down. But he did a
- 32:26Speaker 5: lot of good stuff in that game. The 75-yard run
- 32:28Speaker 5: was ridiculous. They finally really embraced running him. But we'll
- 32:31Speaker 5: talk about South Carolina and where Shane Beamer is at.
- 32:34Speaker 5: Although there's a report from David Cloninger in the Post
- 32:38Speaker 5: and Courier that... He's not going to get fired now.
- 32:43Speaker 5: And the problem is, and it makes you wonder, is
- 32:45Speaker 5: he going to get fired here? Because the problem is
- 32:47Speaker 5: they don't want to pay that money. It's apparently bone.
- 32:51Speaker 5: His buyouts only have like 24. I say only, but
- 32:54Speaker 5: like you add the coaching staff in, it's about 50 million.
- 32:57Speaker 5: And apparently no one wants to come up with the money. Now,
- 33:00Speaker 5: maybe it gets so bad that people are like, all right,
- 33:03Speaker 5: we got to pony the money up and end this crap.
- 33:05Speaker 2: You know, problem in college sports is not only is
- 33:08Speaker 2: the buyout numbers high and you're also paying the players
- 33:11Speaker 2: now as well. So there's money invested in the head coach,
- 33:16Speaker 2: the staff, and the rosters. And if you're asking people, Mac,
- 33:20Speaker 2: whether it be boosters or NIL collectives to pay for
- 33:24Speaker 2: your players, and trust me, there's some high-end players on
- 33:26Speaker 2: that team. You're asking now for money to pay the players.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Then you're going to have to have someone go pay
- 33:32Speaker 2: the buyout. And some schools– I think that's been the
- 33:35Speaker 2: problem with Luke Fickle, right? I believe far away view,
- 33:38Speaker 2: one of the issues with Luke Fickle at Wisconsin is
- 33:41Speaker 2: they've let him ride out a little bit longer than
- 33:42Speaker 2: they wanted, although they're doing pretty well right now, because
- 33:45Speaker 2: they just– they didn't have the money, so they just said,
- 33:47Speaker 2: you know what, we're going to deal with this for
- 33:48Speaker 2: a few more years.
- 33:49Speaker 4: So that's happening in college football right now. Oh, big
- 33:51Speaker 4: time it is. There's– yeah. Never before– I mean, they're asking.
- 33:56Speaker 5: Donors for so much right now yes and i gotta
- 33:59Speaker 5: tell you at what point do the donors like first
- 34:01Speaker 5: of all i already don't understand why people would donate
- 34:04Speaker 5: their fortunes to make their college football i just don't
- 34:08Speaker 5: i don't buy girl scout cookies and help somebody out
- 34:10Speaker 5: but unfortunately the the machine right now really relies on
- 34:15Speaker 5: it but yeah so i almost wonder i wonder if
- 34:18Speaker 5: they will pony up the money there's a conversation to
- 34:20Speaker 5: be had there um we'll talk about clemson um hell
- 34:24Speaker 5: that that buyout That's 60 million dabble alone, you know?
- 34:29Speaker 5: So anyway, or 57 million becomes 60 million, whatever. So
- 34:33Speaker 5: we'll talk later about Clemson losing by four touchdowns. They
- 34:37Speaker 5: fought for a while there, Boney. They did. Miami, as
- 34:42Speaker 5: banged up as they are right now, to be playing
- 34:45Speaker 5: like this, the depth is absurd. In this NIL era, Boney,
- 34:51Speaker 5: where teams don't have the depth that the great teams
- 34:54Speaker 5: used to have, It's absurd the display of depth that
- 34:58Speaker 5: they have right now.
- 34:58Speaker 4: It really is.
- 34:59Speaker 2: When I watch their quarterback play, he's great. I watch
- 35:02Speaker 2: their wide receivers.
- 35:03Speaker 4: They're great. They've got a really high-level running back. They've
- 35:06Speaker 4: got athletes.
- 35:07Speaker 2: They've got a coach who's confident and in command of
- 35:10Speaker 2: the entire operation. Do you know, Mac, who the Miami
- 35:13Speaker 2: Hurricanes reminded me of on Saturday night watching them play football?
- 35:16Speaker 2: Who Clemson used to be. That's who Clemson used to be,
- 35:19Speaker 2: was on the other.
- 35:20Speaker 4: Side the other night. Oh, yeah, Mario Cristobal.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Going into someone's environment and beating them down, out-athleting, out-athleting,
- 35:27Speaker 2: whatever word I'm looking for there, beating them with athletes,
- 35:32Speaker 2: with quarterback play. That's who Clemson used to be. Taking
- 35:35Speaker 2: pride in going somewhere else and winning by double digits
- 35:38Speaker 2: is what Miami did the other night. That's who you
- 35:41Speaker 2: used to be, Clemson.
- 35:42Speaker 5: Mario Cristobal said after the game, we were here four
- 35:45Speaker 5: years ago and got our faces kicked in. And I
- 35:47Speaker 5: heard that and I'm like, yep, that sums it all up.
- 35:50Speaker 5: Clemson used to do the face kicking. Now they are
- 35:53Speaker 5: getting their face kicked. But Dabo Bone was very encouraged
- 35:57Speaker 5: by what... What happened? I will say this. Some of
- 36:01Speaker 5: the plays that Tate Reynolds made and throws that Tate
- 36:03Speaker 5: Reynolds made under pressure, because he was under pressure all night.
- 36:06Speaker 4: He's gutty, man.
- 36:07Speaker 5: I mean, the Mesidor and Bain fear-mongering stuff.
- 36:13Speaker 4: Dude, they got more dudes, man. Damian Wilson took that
- 36:16Speaker 4: game over.
- 36:17Speaker 5: And they didn't even have Lightfoot for most of the game,
- 36:19Speaker 5: who is their other starting edge rusher. They got dudes
- 36:22Speaker 5: on dudes. Bone, they have been playing all season without
- 36:24Speaker 5: their three best corners. Like, I'm telling you, the depth
- 36:28Speaker 5: they have is absurd, man. Offensive line injuries doesn't matter.
- 36:32Speaker 2: That damon wilson guy was just a wrecking shop the
- 36:34Speaker 2: other night the uh missouri transfer.
- 36:36Speaker 4: Used to wreck shop at mizzou what are you gonna
- 36:38Speaker 4: talk about mizzou's.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Big win that we have a situation here firework go
- 36:42Speaker 2: boom slept through six alarms this morning he's trying to
- 36:45Speaker 2: get to work he's flying down the highway mac as
- 36:47Speaker 2: we go to break before sounds of the weekend will
- 36:49Speaker 2: you will you announce firework go boom down the highway
- 36:53Speaker 2: like he's like he's in a horse race mac please
- 36:55Speaker 2: get this guy to work here for us.
- 36:56Speaker 5: Down 70 70 cubs it's fire go boom out front
- 37:01Speaker 5: He leads by a car length.
- 37:04Speaker 4: That's all I got. I don't have anything else. I
- 37:05Speaker 4: don't know who else the other cars are out there.
- 37:08Speaker 4: It's not Bebop because he's still in the stall. I'm kidding. Yeah, Bebop.
- 37:12Speaker 4: Imagine this.
- 37:12Speaker 5: Bebop has not woken up early to celebrate Bryce Young's
- 37:15Speaker 5: huge night on national TV.
- 37:16Speaker 4: People are calling for Bebop. Shocking. Oh, God. When we
- 37:20Speaker 4: come back, it is Sounds of the Weekend. Good effort
- 37:23Speaker 4: there by Mac on the fly.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Sounds of the Weekend, Jason Garrett on Bryce Young. Bryce
- 37:27Speaker 2: Young on the MVP chance. And Walt Weiss on the
- 37:31Speaker 2: Braves tying up the.
- 37:31Speaker 4: Series at one. It's Mack Bode. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
- 37:52Speaker 6: He's thrown for more yards than any quarterback in the
- 37:55Speaker 6: National Football League through four weeks. The concern about him
- 37:58Speaker 6: coming out is he's 5'10. He might be 180 pounds.
- 38:02Speaker 6: He looked frail when he first came into the league.
- 38:04Speaker 6: He doesn't look frail anymore.
- 38:06Speaker 4: He knows how to.
- 38:07Speaker 6: Navigate that pocket, move, climb the pocket, get out of
- 38:10Speaker 6: the pocket, lay the ball. We saw that on that play,
- 38:13Speaker 6: but we saw it on display all night long. This
- 38:16Speaker 6: guy's a special player. Instinct is the number one trait
- 38:19Speaker 6: for a quarterback, and this guy's got him.
- 38:24Speaker 5: There you go, Jason Garrett saying nice things about your quarterback,
- 38:29Speaker 5: Bryce Young. And there's, I mean, there's nothing to be
- 38:33Speaker 5: said other than nice things. I mean, he was still
- 38:36Speaker 5: pressured quite a bit, Bone, but got the ball out.
- 38:39Speaker 5: I mean, the fastest he has all year. And maybe
- 38:42Speaker 5: I didn't see the final number on time to throw.
- 38:44Speaker 5: At one point, Bone, it was 2.5 seconds. They showed
- 38:47Speaker 5: on the broadcast. And that would be his third quickest
- 38:49Speaker 5: average time to throw in his career. The game plan
- 38:52Speaker 5: was to get it out quick. He executed it. But
- 38:55Speaker 5: he still had moments, Bone, where you could see, because
- 38:58Speaker 5: I'm like a nervous mother. watching i know how bryce's
- 39:02Speaker 5: mom feels because with this whole line can you be
- 39:04Speaker 5: nervous father also i am yes sure too and why
- 39:07Speaker 5: did i say mother but anyway because dads usually aren't
- 39:10Speaker 5: nervous right um yeah my dad was very nervous watching
- 39:14Speaker 5: me play but anyway i did play anyway what i'm
- 39:16Speaker 5: trying to say is i'm watching bryce last night and
- 39:20Speaker 5: i'm like we got to get this ball out bryce
- 39:23Speaker 5: the pocket's collapsing. They're going to hit it. And he
- 39:26Speaker 5: just calmly scans, goes through his reads. And right before
- 39:31Speaker 5: he takes the hit, Bone... unloads it he did that
- 39:34Speaker 5: multiple times he had a lot where hey boom rpo
- 39:38Speaker 5: boom it's out fast but he had plenty where it
- 39:40Speaker 5: was like he is so calm in that pocket and
- 39:44Speaker 5: the amount of throws i'll have the numbers later on
- 39:47Speaker 5: but an astronomical amount of completions and yards over the
- 39:52Speaker 5: middle of the field And I remember people telling us
- 39:55Speaker 5: he's too small to throw over the middle of the field.
- 39:58Speaker 5: And I know the Lions secondary obviously has issues, but
- 40:01Speaker 5: that dude destroyed them over the middle of the field
- 40:03Speaker 5: last night.
- 40:04Speaker 2: You're now seeing the combination of the game slowing down.
- 40:08Speaker 2: in the mind of Bryce speeding up and just... We
- 40:12Speaker 2: talked about his ability to process a lot in the
- 40:15Speaker 2: lead-up to him being drafted and early on in his career.
- 40:17Speaker 2: You're now seeing him process things so quickly while the
- 40:21Speaker 2: game slows down. And it's not a coincidence that once
- 40:24Speaker 2: the game slows down, with talent and the mind that
- 40:27Speaker 2: Bryce has... It's starting to take over. DraftKings with a
- 40:30Speaker 2: tweet last night. Bryce is on pace for one of
- 40:32Speaker 2: the greatest seasons of all time. 5,389 yards, which would
- 40:37Speaker 2: be the third most passing yards of all time. 43 touchdowns.
- 40:41Speaker 2: The Panther franchise record. is 4,436 by Steve Berwine with
- 40:47Speaker 2: 36 touchdown passes. Put Bryce in the MVP conversation.
- 40:53Speaker 4: Yeah, baby.
- 40:54Speaker 5: PFF middle of the field for Bryce last night. 20
- 40:57Speaker 5: of 26 for 282. Just killing it. And he had
- 41:01Speaker 5: started the season and been hitting them outside routes like money.
- 41:04Speaker 5: Last night, it was the middle of the field. Speaking
- 41:07Speaker 5: of Bryce, he heard your MVP chants, everybody. And of course,
- 41:11Speaker 5: he's got to chill. He's got to downplay him. But
- 41:14Speaker 5: I'm sure it meant a lot. This is Bryce being
- 41:16Speaker 5: asked about those chants.
- 41:20Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I heard it. In the moment, you're just
- 41:24Speaker 7: focusing on executing and Trying to move the team. Obviously
- 41:28Speaker 7: a huge blessing. The support. And, I mean, the bank
- 41:32Speaker 7: tonight was electric. You know, we had some– they caused
- 41:36Speaker 7: some false starts. They made it hard on them. And,
- 41:40Speaker 7: you know, when the bank's rocking like that, we take
- 41:42Speaker 7: a lot of pride in that. So I'm super, super
- 41:44Speaker 7: grateful for the fans.
- 41:46Speaker 4: So there you go. He's super, super. He threw a
- 41:48Speaker 4: second super in there.
- 41:49Speaker 7: How much?
- 41:50Speaker 4: He was grateful for y'all last night. Oh, he went
- 41:52Speaker 4: double super.
- 41:53Speaker 1: I'll give that to the McDonald's.
- 41:57Speaker 4: Super, supersize that. Oh, man. So anyway, God, it's fun.
- 42:03Speaker 4: It's fun winning.
- 42:04Speaker 5: Now, if we could just find a way to string
- 42:06Speaker 5: two wins in a row, that would be really nice.
- 42:09Speaker 4: But damn, we were injured and we came up big.
- 42:11Speaker 2: It's also fun to look that good going into a
- 42:12Speaker 2: bye week also because we don't have to– remember we
- 42:14Speaker 2: said at the end of the preseason when the– The
- 42:18Speaker 2: joint sessions went awry, and they didn't look great in
- 42:20Speaker 2: the preseason. Oh, my God, we have so much time
- 42:22Speaker 2: to talk about these narratives until game number one. Well,
- 42:26Speaker 2: now we have a lot of time to talk about
- 42:28Speaker 2: positive narratives. That's a good thing.
- 42:30Speaker 5: 100%, man, just for morale and vibes and just the
- 42:33Speaker 5: feel in the locker room and with us as fans.
- 42:36Speaker 5: It's such an accomplishment. And, again, I know that if
- 42:39Speaker 5: you think back, you're like, man, that Cleveland win, we'd
- 42:41Speaker 5: be 3-1 if we got that Cleveland game. But last night...
- 42:45Speaker 5: It was a heart and soul win, man. I mean,
- 42:46Speaker 5: the game plans were great, but they showed their heart.
- 42:49Speaker 5: They kept pounding last night despite all the injuries. People
- 42:52Speaker 5: are asking about injuries from last night. It's a hamstring
- 42:56Speaker 5: for Phillips. The report of a concussion. Test, it was
- 43:00Speaker 5: apparently erroneous. That was apparently not true. So it's just
- 43:03Speaker 5: a hamstring situation for him. Freeling is a knee. Apparently
- 43:07Speaker 5: he put a brace on last night, and some people
- 43:09Speaker 5: thought he was going to go back in. Felipe Franks
- 43:12Speaker 5: had the concussion test.
- 43:14Speaker 4: They mixed up the two reports there into one, right?
- 43:17Speaker 2: Joe Person came back, and I think Person initially said
- 43:19Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips had a hamstring and being checked for a concussion.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Then he came back and said— It was the hamstring
- 43:26Speaker 2: for Phillips. Felipe Franks was getting tested for a concussion.
- 43:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:30Speaker 2: But I was thinking, man, a hamstring and concussion on
- 43:33Speaker 2: one play. What happened to you there? But that NBC report,
- 43:36Speaker 2: like that got out everywhere.
- 43:37Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 43:38Speaker 4: That's probably what it was.
- 43:38Speaker 5: So anyway, that's the news there. We've got to give
- 43:41Speaker 5: the Braves a little bit of love too, don't we?
- 43:44Speaker 5: I mean, obviously this show is going to be so
- 43:46Speaker 5: overwhelmingly Panthers.
- 43:47Speaker 4: And how did they get the win? And how do
- 43:49Speaker 4: we feel now?
- 43:50Speaker 5: About this team, but the Braves deserve some credit because
- 43:53Speaker 5: I got to be honest, Bone, when I was reading
- 43:55Speaker 5: last night that Sale could not start because they didn't
- 43:59Speaker 5: want to pitch him because he was used in relief
- 44:00Speaker 5: the other night. And I honestly thought it might not
- 44:03Speaker 5: have been necessary to use him in relief the other night.
- 44:05Speaker 4: For that long, anyway. So I kind of thought like.
- 44:08Speaker 5: I know they were worried about those left-hand bats of
- 44:10Speaker 5: the Phillies, but I kind of thought like, damn, what
- 44:12Speaker 5: have you done here?
- 44:13Speaker 4: You can be down 2-0.
- 44:14Speaker 5: That bullpen game, the boys came through last night and
- 44:18Speaker 5: got it done. Didier Farentes was unbelievable. 11 straight outs
- 44:23Speaker 5: before the home run to Muncie. Iglesias finished it. And
- 44:26Speaker 5: Walt Weiss afterwards talked about feeling pretty good with their
- 44:30Speaker 5: ace coming up next.
- 44:31Speaker 8: We're in a good position. We got Chris Sale lined up.
- 44:35Speaker 8: After a split here and then going to Sale, look,
- 44:37Speaker 8: we've got to face more Cy Young award winners for them.
- 44:42Speaker 8: I mean, every starter on their staff is a Cy
- 44:45Speaker 8: Young guy, so it doesn't get any easier. But I
- 44:49Speaker 8: like the fact that we go back home even and
- 44:51Speaker 8: we have Chris Sale thrown.
- 44:53Speaker 4: So there you go. It's a good feeling.
- 44:55Speaker 5: But as he points out, Bo, the Dodgers have pitchers,
- 44:59Speaker 5: they have hitters. But, man, the alternative being down 0-2, Bo?
- 45:04Speaker 2: No, they took a gamble, and it's going to end
- 45:07Speaker 2: up paying off where they're going to have Sale match
- 45:09Speaker 2: one of their Cy Young guys. It's 6 o'clock starts
- 45:12Speaker 2: on Tuesday and Wednesday in Atlanta, so that would be
- 45:15Speaker 2: early start times there.
- 45:17Speaker 4: I like that.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Yeah, because San Diego has the 9-30 game, so that's
- 45:21Speaker 2: why they're not on a little bit later than that.
- 45:24Speaker 2: I do need to address something real quick, and that is,
- 45:25Speaker 2: I don't know if you were knee-deep in college football,
- 45:28Speaker 2: but it has to be said, I did see perhaps
- 45:31Speaker 2: the worst base running of all time from my Yankee catcher,
- 45:34Speaker 2: Austin Wells, Saturday night. We're talking about it internally. We're
- 45:39Speaker 2: working on some things here. Remember when Willie Mays Hayes
- 45:42Speaker 2: slid and he ended up about 10 feet from the base?
- 45:45Speaker 2: That happened to Austin Wells the other night.
- 45:47Speaker 4: He went viral.
- 45:48Speaker 2: Their only hit of the game, he tried to leg
- 45:51Speaker 2: out a triple and ended up.
- 45:52Speaker 4: I'd say, about.
- 45:53Speaker 2: 20 minutes short of his trip to third base.
- 45:57Speaker 4: He went viral.
- 45:58Speaker 5: I didn't click on the link because I was in
- 46:00Speaker 5: football mode, so I didn't know what he did. But
- 46:02Speaker 5: now I know what he did, and now I want
- 46:04Speaker 5: to click on the link. I want to see that.
- 46:06Speaker 5: Yankee announcer Dave Sims here. I'll paraphrase Max Siles of
- 46:09Speaker 5: the week. Austin Wells, it's down the line.
- 46:11Speaker 4: It gets in. He's going for two.
- 46:14Speaker 2: Oh, he's around in second, and.
- 46:17Speaker 4: He's out by four feet.
- 46:20Speaker 5: Boney, the first annoying, trolling, trying to downplay what Bryce
- 46:26Speaker 5: is doing text of the day has come in.
- 46:28Speaker 4: I ain't going to pay attention to it. Bob's in.
- 46:30Speaker 4: I ain't going to pay attention.
- 46:31Speaker 5: Does Bob get a new phone and does he call
- 46:33Speaker 5: himself White Knight on the text line?
- 46:35Speaker 4: No, Bob is in.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Bob's going after Bryce's completion percentage. Oh, so there's Bob, too.
- 46:40Speaker 2: I'm talking about this guy, White Knight. Oh, no, I
- 46:41Speaker 2: didn't see White Knight.
- 46:42Speaker 5: Anyway, I've got to be honest with me. I'm going
- 46:44Speaker 5: to print out all your negative Bryce-hating texts. I'm going
- 46:47Speaker 5: to wipe my fanny with them later. They don't mean
- 46:50Speaker 5: crap to me. Bebop, your texts don't mean crap, bro.
- 46:53Speaker 4: Seriously.
- 46:54Speaker 5: I saw it with my own eyes. I've watched it
- 46:56Speaker 5: for four weeks. He has so many things going against him. Yeah,
- 46:59Speaker 5: you could sit there a white night and talk about
- 47:01Speaker 5: the Lions defense being terrible. We understand that. But the
- 47:04Speaker 5: Panthers are missing two of their top three receivers. They're
- 47:07Speaker 5: missing four O-linemen by the time the game ends last night. Like, Seriously,
- 47:12Speaker 5: miss me with that. Bebop, you might as well text
- 47:16Speaker 5: in Greek today because I ain't going to read any
- 47:18Speaker 5: of the crap you send, bro. You are irrelevant today
- 47:21Speaker 5: unless you want to praise Bryce and say, you know what?
- 47:24Speaker 5: This dude is playing at a level I didn't think
- 47:26Speaker 5: was possible. Unless you want to send that text in,
- 47:28Speaker 5: I will not read a word that you're annoying, trolling
- 47:31Speaker 5: ass text in today.
- 47:33Speaker 4: Not one word.
- 47:34Speaker 2: And as far as Mac's fanny promise there, it's a
- 47:38Speaker 2: Monday with Mac. You don't know what's stored up for
- 47:40Speaker 2: the weekend for this man.
- 47:41Speaker 4: Oh, man. Pizza, wings, all the good stuff. You're not
- 47:44Speaker 4: getting Mac on a calm Wednesday. Bojangles? Oh, man.
- 47:49Speaker 2: When we come back on the Mac and Bone Show,
- 47:51Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the huge win last night
- 47:53Speaker 2: for the Panthers, 32-26. Who gets the credit and the
- 47:57Speaker 2: love for that huge win last night? Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
