  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Coming up at 925, we need
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to mention Adam Gold made a joke about Chris Sims.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: The Sims family bone has come under fire in Panther Nation.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Chris Sims himself has come under fire from the Panthers
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: social media admin. And Chris Sims and Mike Florio aren't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: happy about it. We will do some talking heads, talking Panthers.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It will be the Sims family versus the Panthers edition.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: This is amazing. This is going to be glorious. We're
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: playing the feud. I love it, man. Chris Sims just
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: can't believe it. I don't know why. Why do they
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: not like me down there in Carolina, man? Why do
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: they not like me? Anyway, we will tell you why
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: here coming up at 925. But right now, somebody that
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: everybody loves here in Carolina because he gives you some
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: amazing freaking Carolina Panther coverage on the regular. Read him
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and the whole great team of writers for all sports.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: at the athletic the athletic.com he is the athletics panther
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: beat writer joe person he's nice enough to spend a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: few minutes with us today what's up joe how you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: doing man I'm old.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Enough to remember when Florio was a regular guest of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: your fine award-winning show. So I'm thinking the two of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you guys can, you know, offer a peace pipe, have
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a fireside chat, do something. Do something to bridge this gap.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I know. You're right. We could probably play a role
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in this, Bo.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: We can't have this dividing not only— uh, here, but America,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: we need to solve this crisis.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: It's a crisis. Joe, I need to ask you, you're
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a Pennsylvania dude. Like I am originally, I'm very proud
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to be a Carolinian now, uh, for two decades plus,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: but we're both from that deck of the woods. And
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: then I know like, you've probably spent your fair amount
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of time going to Philly and stuff. You're a big
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Philly Philly's fan and stuff like that. When you go
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: back to Philly, do you always have to get a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: cheese steak? And if so, do you have a specific
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: place you go to?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. I was not able to get
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: one this time. I kind of had a quick up
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and back. I sadly had to go to a funeral.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: But I do have– so I did not get a cheesesteak.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I like to go to the Reading Market, which I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: wasn't able to do. But my favorite– and I'll make
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: it quick– my favorite story involving this was the Panthers
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: were going up there for a Monday night game, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I asked Philly Brown– I said, Philly, where do I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: need to go for, like, where's your go-to cheesesteak place?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And he wouldn't tell me. I don't think he thought
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: he would be putting me.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: In harm's way.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think he, I didn't have much street cred
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: with Philly. I'll still run into Philly sometimes in Charlotte.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'll remind him of that story. He was a good,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: he was a good dude to cover.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Joe, next time you run into Willie P, I urge you,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: don't talk about cheesesteaks. Just avoid that subject.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Don't do it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: It's very passionate. You'll lose an hour of your life.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: He's got cheese rankings. I urge you, Joe, just step
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: away from Willie.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Joe, do you think, like, let's try your best to work,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to put a ranking on it. Like, I understand this
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is only for five games for Bryce, six games for
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: other quarterbacks. but we were going through the list and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I honestly believe he's playing and it might be number five,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but I honestly think he's playing right now at a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: top five QB level. Do you agree with that? Do
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you think it's that good? Would you say top seven,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: top 10? How would you, how would you put it?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I really can't argue it. I was thinking that this
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: morning that it's pretty incredible for, and I know we
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: started seeing at the end of last year, like the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: second half of last season, but even so, to do
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: what he's doing after the struggles we saw those first
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: few years is just remarkable. And it's, and we, we,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I know we talk about, we write about and hear
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the Brad Izzik effect. And it's just so many different
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: things that I think are at work and, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: getting a more pieces around him and his confidence in himself.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And it, It's unbelievable, guys. And again, you're right. I mean,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it's five games, but it doesn't feel like a mirage.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It just does not feel fluky. There will be better
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: defenses that they'll face. But guess what? That one Sunday
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: wasn't bad. the Eagles linebackers aren't great, but, but they're,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: but they're front four, especially in those interior guys, Jordan Davis,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Jalen Carr, like they're really good. And, and they're, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the Eagles secondary is pretty good. And, and, and Bryce said,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you know, you've talked about like, it wasn't his best day.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And he's still look at the stats at the end
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of the day. And he's over a 90 passer rating,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: 280 yards, two touchdowns, and he protected the ball. So,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: It's it's been fun to watch him just take this huge,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: huge step in year four. And it's going to be
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: it's going to be kind of cool to see what
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: he does with these, you know, like. The Green Bay
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: defense is good. Obviously, the Denver defense is good. Those
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: are going to be fun chess matches, and I'm excited
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to cover them.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: What do you think the job that Brad Idzik has
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: done so far, not just with Bryce, but overall in
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: how he's calling these games?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's been really good. It's been, you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I know the first couple of games were like, Whoa,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: really kind of top heavy, uh, you know, on, on
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the past game, when's the run game going to kind
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: of get come into play. And now we've seen the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: last two games that that's exactly what's happened with, especially
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: in the second half of these games, you know, kind of,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you know, uh, but putting these games away on the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: back of Cuba Hubbard and the offensive line when, when
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you've got a lead, but, um, yeah, he's, that's another
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: guy that I don't feel like, you know, you, you
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: can really overstate his impact. And I just, he's, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I'm talking to it and talking to Bryce, like there's
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: a connection there. Like, and it's not to say Bryce
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: didn't have one with canalysis, but let's be honest that
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that relationship was strained from, from, you know, dating back
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to the benching and, and, you know, I give Canales credit.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Like he, he really took strides to, you know, to,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, he, he said like repair the relationship. He'd
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: go to Bryce's summer camp, the youth camps every summer
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: that Bryce would hold here and still does that. And, um,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: but I just, there's a real connection with Bryce and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Izzik and, uh, you know, and, and, and listen, I,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: A connection alone isn't going to move the ball down
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the field. Brad Itzik's a smart, creative dude. And he's, shoot,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: we might be talking about him in another month or
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: so being on the radar. when teams are looking for
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: head coaches.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: No doubt. He has that look of the offensive whiz
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: kid type, you know, that the league absolutely loves. We're
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: talking with Joe Person. Get his great Panthers coverage at theathletic.com. Joe,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: what do you think about this defense? Because the first
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: game was so freaking horrendous in terms of 291 on
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the ground. in terms of 59 points given up that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: in some of the statistical categories, they are still like,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: they're going to be working all season, right. To get
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: some of those numbers back down. But like I brought up,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I've been following this the last couple of weeks since then,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: their EPA is third in the league, you know, per
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: play and total EPA. What do you think of the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: way the defense has played? Albeit to the last two
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: weeks without the starting corners. What do you think about
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that unit?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I mean,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: you're talking about doing it the last two weeks while J.C.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Horn and Mike Jackson are recovering from injuries. And this
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: was arguably one of the top three cornerback duos.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Last year in the league.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I really think the linebackers, I mean, Derek
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Brown's been terrific. They've gotten some good play out of
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: young guys up front like Lee Hunter and Even Aaron
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Hall undrafted from Duke. But I look first at those
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: linebackers because that was a real problem area for this
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: defense the last couple of years, especially last year when
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Josie Jewell is ruled out pretty much or retires at
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the season. And, you know, you're kind
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of forced to throw Rosa Boom in there. And you've
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: got Trevin Wallace, who we know was sort of kind
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of mid. But, boy, Devin Lloyd and even Bobby Okereke. Like,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I remember when they signed him late, obviously, in August,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: talking to some folks around the Giants. and they were like, yeah,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: he's okay. You know, he's, you know, he's kind of
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: lost a step and I don't know. He's, he's, he's
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: found something here because he shows up around the ball too.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And just Lloyd.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: And I, I think the two of them in the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: middle of that defense have been a real, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I think that's kind of one of the, probably the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: key to this improved run defense. And there making plays
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: in the backfield too. Like, you know, O'Kara K getting
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: after and good on a Jero sending the blitz to,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: to start that game Sunday against, you know, a quarterback
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: who'd never really had a real NFL started. I know
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: he'd done week 18 mop up, but, that was just
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a tone setter right from the jump. And I think was,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: was a big play in that game.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Big time. Joe, I'll tell you this, Bobby Okereke bone
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and Joe person, two people who have found the fountain
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of youth here in Charlotte.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I want you to know that real quick.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I saw at Joseph person on Twitter, your link to
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the athletic.com article you have up right now about the
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: offensive line. How do you think it plays out on
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: the left side with, with Walker and Freeling once he
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: gets healthy?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to have Freeling be the swing
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: tackle initially. You know, I think, you know, I remember
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: all along, you know, when, when they drafted him, it
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: was like, well, this guy might need a year. That's
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: not the worst thing. Taylor Moten got a year when,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: when he was drafted to sit behind Daryl Williams. But,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: but so that's kind of where I think it's heading, but,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: They like Freeland. I know he had some ups and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: downs those first four weeks, but listen, that's going to
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: happen with a rookie tackle in this league. And I
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: think he still has the look of the longtime future
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: pillar at left tackle for this organization. And I don't
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: think we've seen the last of them this year either,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: but I think initially he'll probably be that swing tackle
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: guy backing up both Walker and Moten.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we agree with you on that, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I hope that's kind of the way they play it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: We got a good question here from Steve Carolina Cat
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: on the text line. Not his government name. You don't
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: think Carolina Cat's the last name? I don't think so.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So he brings up some I brought up earlier. Now,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I kind of always want to preface this because I'm
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a big Mike Jackson fan, but you know how it works, Joe.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: You can't pay everybody, and if you can find a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: young player– You know what I mean? To be more economical,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that can ball. So you can see where this is headed.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Steve is asking, is Will Lee kind of the guy
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that could allow you to save some money by not
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: giving Mike Jack an extension? Do you kind of feel
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that way or should we chill out a little bit
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: because it's early?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: No, I think that's very legitimate, and I think Will
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Lee was drafted with that in mind. I mean, they
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: had every opportunity to re-sign Mike Jackson. It doesn't mean
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: they don't like him. It just means they've got a
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: lot of money already tied up at that position in J.C. Horn,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: and it also means they're going to have to start
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: looking for ways to save money at some certain positions
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: because they're about to give Bryce Young a whole lot
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: of money. And you're going to have to mix in
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: these guys on rookie deals like a Will Lee, like
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: a Lee Hunter, when you pay a quarterback $ 50 million
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a year or whatever it's going to be. And certainly, look,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I think that week we're starting to see where that's headed, too,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: with the Bryce contract, right?
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a great point by your caller.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: And Will Lee is kind of like Freeling. He's going
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: to have... some rookie mistakes, but you see, you step
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: back and see the big picture. And there's a lot
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: to like with how he's a player, man.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Wheatley too. There's some good, there's some talented rookies, man.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Dan Morgan's doing it. Dan Morgan's doing it. And so
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: is Joe person, ladies and gentlemen, the athletic.com read his, uh,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a recent article, read all of them, but read the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: recent article at the athletic.com about the old tackle situation. Joe,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you rock, man. Appreciate you, brother. Be good.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Have a great week. All right, there you go. That
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is Joe Person. We also have Beard Estate, speaking of rookies, saying,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: ask when Hecht will finally take over. Yeah, due to
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: time constraints, Bo. We did not get that in. But
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I watched Fortner struggle, and PFF actually had him with
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: zero pressures allowed the other day, believe it or not.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: He had a couple rough whiffs in the run game.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I do find myself kind of wondering, would they make
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that change this year? Maybe they'll ride Fortner out for
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: one year. But he definitely– I thought he would be
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: more kind of solid and stable, Fortner, than he has been.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: They've got a lot of guys on ice ready to
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: go whenever they need it, whether it's Freeling or Willie
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: or Hecht. And that is depth that they did not
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: have before of guys ready to take over spots.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: That's what the good organizations do. I remember being younger
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and looking at, like, Philly and the Steelers. Steelers were
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the best at it, yes. And I'd be like, they
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: always are drafting– The replacement, when they know someone's going
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to be afraid. And now I'll be damned, you're starting
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to see us do it too, man.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: How many times did Pittsburgh let a guy go and
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: you're like, really, they let that linebacker go?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Then another one that was better came up. There are three,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: four edge rushers. It was a pipeline. It was a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: revolving door, yeah. And they always had a guy who
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: was good or better waiting. So we're starting to get
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that going here, man. It's a good feeling. We come back.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Talking Heads, Talk Panthers, the Sims Family Edition, Sports Radio,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: 92.7 WFNZ.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. We are working. We have our
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: insiders working on a very disturbing, upsetting story bone. There
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: are cheating allegations being thrown out there. What did he
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: do now? He's not in a relationship. What happened to him?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Get that mic back on, Bones and Riley. What you
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: talking about? You blaming Finney? What happened to Finney? Cheating
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: on Finney. What'd you do, man? There are cheating allegations
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: being thrown at a couple of our former coworkers in
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a local golf tournament. And we are investigating this. We
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: are shocked and appalled. Shocked and appalled, Bone, that people
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: could think these guys would do that just to win.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: We need witnesses from the Rocky River Country Club that
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: witness this whole thing.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: We'll read it off in the tech segment, man. I'm
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: cracking up, though. Crack it up. Oh, my goodness. It's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: shocking for these names to be involved. Next, you're going
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: to tell me 92. Next thing they're going to tell
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: me 92 is you use a foot wedge on the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: golf course sometimes. You know what I mean? This is ridiculous.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: That's not true. You cannot believe everything they say about me.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: The fake news, they spread many lies. Oh, my goodness.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: All right. Anyway, good to have 92 back in studio
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: with us. All right. Let's do some talking heads talking Panthers.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And let's start with this Sims situation. Because this is
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: probably going to get you all fired up because of the...
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: A relationship between Panther Nation and Chris Sims, one of
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: which he claims now to not understand. I don't get it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I don't understand. Let's start, Bone, with the latest chapter
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in the Chris Sims Panther history. It started at the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: end of the week last week when not just Chris Sims.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: But on a separate podcast, Bone, his dad, Phil Simms,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: both picked the Eagles with a backup QB and all
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: kind of backups on the O-line to beat the Carolina Panthers.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Listen to this. This was put together online. There was
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a mix of the two cuts. So first you're going
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: to hear Chris and his game prediction last week. Then
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you're going to hear Phil.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I'm going to one-up you, and this is one of
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: my upsets right here. I'm going to go with this.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: At home in Philadelphia, the Eagles' defense is real. It
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: is really damn good. And I'm going to play a
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: little bit of the angle again of like, hey, Carolina
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: off a bye week, not totally sharp, right? Yeah, it's
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: a hostile environment and all that. And then the other
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: thing that I think plays into the Eagles' hands is,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: of course, they're playing one of the worst defenses in
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: football right now. And I know they've got a bunch
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: of injuries on the offense, but I think that they
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: might be able just to play a slow, ugly game,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: control the clock, run the ball, efficient pass here and there.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Tanner McKee, just be careful. Play through the defense. Know
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: that they can keep you in it. This is one
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: of my upsets of the week here. A little bit
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: of just a gut feeling about the culture in Philadelphia,
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: everything they deal with. They are tough.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: We always say that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I really expect Tanner McKee to come out and play well.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I remember watching him at Stanford. I was like, wow,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: he's better. You know, I wasn't putting much into it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I said, he's better than I thought he was going
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: to look. And he's had success when he does in
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: preseason games and whatever.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: He has a really good arm.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: He's calm in the pocket, all those things. I think
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: he has a really good chance against Carolina to have
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: a solid to a really, really good game.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Are you calling the upset here Panthers lose to the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Tanner McKee Eagles? Yeah, I'm taking the Eagles. Yeah, absolutely.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Not just because of the quarterback, not that, but just
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: the whole team and what they've done. They've been battle-tested many,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: many times, and they come through.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Not this group. Not this group of backups. Different team
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: right now. So that was Chris on his podcast, Phil
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: on with Kay Adams there, both doubting the Panthers before
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Mac, there was more that you didn't hear. William Gilmore Sims,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: a 19th century novelist, picked the Eagles to win. Hilda Sims,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: an American stage actress from the 40s, also went Eagles.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Kirsten Sims, an American ice hockey player, went Eagles. Luann
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Sims from the Arthur Gottfried show in the 1950s went Sims.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: And Willie Simms, A late 19th century jockey, horse jockey,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: also picked the Eagles to win together.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: What about former Oklahoma running back Billy Sims? It wasn't
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: listed on here. What about Jess Sims from game day?
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Did she pick against the Panthers too? Mine stopped at
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: old Willie Sims. It's the rivalry that I'm not sure
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: will ever end. And I didn't know Phil was involved
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: in it. We had Phil on the show a couple
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: years back. It seemed like he was saying nice things
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: about Bryce. certainly nicer than his son does. And for
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Chris to be like, it's a bad Panthers defense, like,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: tell me, Chris, you only watch the opener. Like, seriously,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to not acknowledge a defense is playing better since that debacle. Also,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I heard in there a Canales play calling reference as well.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure you're up to date on that situation.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so here is, we fast forward to yesterday, Bone,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: when Chris Sims was on with Mike Florio, right? The
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: regular pro football talk show. They're recapping all the games.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: They talk Panthers, Eagles, and Florio now gets involved bone
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: trying to stand up for Chris Sims because he has
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Sims has been hearing it. Well, no, he's been hearing
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: from Panther fans. And then the Panthers on Twitter bone
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: mocked his, they used his clips and they clipped them
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: up and they kind of mocked him on Sunday night
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: after the game. So listen to this.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: And I'd like to see them be less petty, better winners.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: They put out a social media video last night trolling
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: you because, God forbid, you did your job and engaged
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: in an honest analysis of the game and came to
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: the conclusion that you thought the Eagles would win.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: It was one of those, yeah.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: When you win, just take your win. Because when they lose,
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: they're going to throw a drink on someone. So when
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: they win, let's act like you've been there before. And
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: maybe that's the reality. They haven't been there before, so
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: they're enjoying it while they can.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Well, they have some issue with me.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is probably the third time in the
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: last year where, I don't know, I've obviously gotten underneath
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: the skin of some people there. So I don't know
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: what the deal is, but yeah, we'll see. They're doing
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: a great job. Bryce Young, certainly really good there. Can
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: they get that defense playing to where we thought they
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: could possibly be? They spent a lot of money on
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: that side of the ball. They've been underwhelming. So yesterday
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: was a good start, but again, like we said, it
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: was Tanner McKee. How good was it that way? Offense
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: certainly has had some really good moments. And they are
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: capable of running the ball. And when their three receivers
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: are healthy, they can be dangerous. That's where you look at.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: So good win for them off the bye. But, yeah,
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: that was one of those games where I went, hey,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: there's an upset that happens every week. Man, Carolina off
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: the bye. Philadelphia is tougher than people think. And that
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: was kind of one of those I picked there. But, yeah,
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Carolina took it a little personal.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I did, too. I picked it.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: I picked the Eagles before I knew that Hurts was out.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: And then after it was done, it's like, you know what?
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Am I going to go back? This would be a
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: great chance to do a Mulligan. It's like, nope, I'm
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: sticking with the Eagles. I still think they can win
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: the game. So come after me too, Panthers. You want
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: to come after Chris? Come after me.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: So now you can dislike Florio too. We've got a
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: fight on our hands. I'm concerned now, though, about Chris Hamps.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Because I think he's going to reverse course now and
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: start to pick the Panthers when we've had success of
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: him picking against the Panthers.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: You think so? You think he wants to get everybody
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: in Charlotte off his back? Everyone just encourage him to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: keep picking against the Panthers. Don't change anything. This is
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: working for us. Chris, you have been down on Bryce
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: in your commentary big time. You have said some very
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: inflammatory criticism. You ranked him 31st going into the season.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: on the quarterback list. You don't necessarily have over the years.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And that's your prerogative, right? Like as an analyst, we
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: all have teams and players and coaches that we doubt
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and teams, players, coach we believe in. But like for
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you to act like when the Panthers kind of have
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: fun with you, and for you to wonder why the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: fans are always all over you, that feels disingenuous to me, Bone.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: He knows why. He doesn't understand why there's this thing here.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I feel like you know why, and you're just kind
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: of playing dumb about it. And that's what bothers me.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Just own it, man. You know what I mean? When
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: you're in that national role, I'm sure that there's plenty
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of fan base. Constantly. There's never a fan base not
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: happy with it. Plus, he's opinionated and doesn't shy away
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: from it. And some of those opinions are a little
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: out there. Like, somebody reminded us on the text line,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: he had Matt Corral ranked as the No. 1 quarterback
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: in his draft class coming out. Now, in fairness to him,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: he also had Mahomes as No. 1 in his. But, like,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: he prides himself on this, like, non-groupthink original thought. And
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I just, I
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: would like a little more of, man. I didn't see
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: this with Bryce Young going into the season. I know
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: there were flashes. I know he played well in the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: second half last year, second half year before that. But
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I ranked him 31st and I didn't. You know what
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I mean? Like a little more of, hey, man, this
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: dude's making like Pete Prisco did the other day. Pete
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Prisco's annoyed Panther fans for the way he's talked about
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Bryce and the Panthers over the over the years. And
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: he came out and said he's making me eat my words.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: He's an MVP candidate. More of that would be nice.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: The one thing I don't like about the Sims stuff,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: and I'm not trying to be like, old man, get
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: off my lawn.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I don't really love the spleen.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Jokes that much, to be honest with you, anymore. The
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: ruptured spleen stuff. Because that is a pretty... serious thing
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: to go through. He's alive and fine, though.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. He's okay. Maybe I'm getting soft
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: in my old age. You don't like the guy that said, Chris,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: let me explain to you why we don't like you.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just like 30 people. That's at least
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: well played. It's well played, but it's like 30 people
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: in a row.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Like, we get it. Like, I don't know. Maybe I'm
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: becoming a big soft Travi. I don't know. A big
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: soft Travi. Is that what Tara calls you? My big
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: soft Travi. No, she calls me daddy.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Look at Finney.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I have Finney's face over there.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: What did I say? That might be the most badass
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: thing that Bone has ever said, Finney, on this radio show.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: That's not true. Remember that one girl five years ago
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: called me Spicy Papa. Well, that actually... But that, like... Yeah,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: that happened, and you just relayed it. The way you
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: did that right there was like... I'm a badass. She
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: calls me daddy. I'm basically Fonzie. I'm Fonzie. I'm Fonzie
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: mixed with a little Charles Bronson, mixed with a little
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, with a little Clooney on the side, a
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: little DiCaprio thrown in. All right, anyway, let me get
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: back to the text here. 704-570-9610 if you want to
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: get in.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Even Sirwine was taken aback by that comment.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I did not see that coming. Did not see that one.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Is she listening or do you know she's not listening?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: That's why you said that. No, she called me that. Yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: All righty then, man.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Good for you. I can show you a text. Does
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Daddy want Bojangles tonight? Yeah, you're darn right I do.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. How about that? I underestimated you, Bone. I never
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: saw you as the sort of guy that would be
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: called Daddy in a relationship. I mean, it's free to you, too.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: You can call me that if you need to. I mean, Mrs.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Mack calls me a bunch of names. I can't say
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: them on the radio, though. They're cuss words, and they're
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: not complimentary. I do get the Sweetums, though. I do
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: get the Sweetums. Fitty, are you at the call-you-Daddy stage
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: of the relationship yet? Oh, my God. No. No? Okay. No.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Your love, I shouldn't say love, I shouldn't do this
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: to you. Your, because it's early, your, it seems pure.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: It seems we're very pure. your love. It's not as
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: raunchy as Bones.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: There's nothing raunchy about what I said.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You're called Daddy. We sometimes call Mac Daddy. I'll sometimes
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: get hit with Zaddy, and I don't know how that
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: makes me feel. What does that mean? That's like when
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: you call someone Daddy, but you're at Zaxby's, and you
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: have to use the Z's for everything. Zaddy. The Zaddy
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: with a salad. Don't they call their salad Zalads? Yes,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: they do. Y'all get the Zaxby humor, Bone? No? I
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: didn't get it. I know the Zaxby's menu, so I
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: get what you're throwing down. Oh, my God. Bone started
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: this whole hubbub, and he's just sitting over there chill
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: as can be, man. Doesn't know what this is all about.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't really think it was that big of a deal.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I can tell you right now,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I have never had any woman call me daddy in
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: my entire life. Oh, you haven't lived? My daughter and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: my son when they were like six years old or less,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I think. I think that's about the extent. The text
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: line means saying that zaddy is better than daddy. So
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I guess it's a good thing. What is zaddy? Zaddy
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: is zesty daddy. Jack's zesty daddy. So did you just
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: trump bone? Is fatty better than daddy? I wasn't trying to.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to be a zesty daddy.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I get greeted most of the time by, hey, buddy.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: That's how I get greeted. Meanwhile, Mrs. Mack calls me
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: fatty sometimes. Not near as good. All right. Anyway, what
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: happened to this segment? Are we done with the audio,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like? I think I ended that. This dude said,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: everybody on the text line better start calling Bryce Daddy.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Damn straight. I call him Daddy all the time.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Damn straight. When we come back, it's the wrap-up. We
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: get you set for the NBA starting today. Duke's in
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: action tonight. It's Mac and Daddy on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I might be in trouble now.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Oh, don't wait a minute. Y'all thought Bryce was finished.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: Carolina beat the Eagles. Now y'all pay attention.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Two touchdowns and Tommy Trimble. Bryce was on the mission.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: Three sacks on the defense led by a new lieutenant.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Two for Aaron for 120 and Coco was a menace.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: 25 to 14, Carolina handled business. They were sleeping on
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: their pants. Now the whole world got a witness.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Next week, we got champion.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: We dominate our division.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: We got the victory. We got the victory. We with
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the Lickin' Fittin' Frizin' Persian Feelin'. There you go, baby.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Richard Cannons continues to produce Panther rap anthems on a
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: weekly basis on social media. There's the latest one about
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: getting the dub in Philadelphia. Love it, man. Love it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Cannons go boob on Instagram every week. We have to
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: get this guy to show at some point.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: There you go. We should. And someone ought to call
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: him Daddy, man, with rap songs like that. I mean,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: you are just.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Stuck on this thing. Are you jealous that you're not
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the only one that calls me Daddy?
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You got a reaction
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: on the text line on that. This dude said he
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: almost wrecked his car when Bone told the world that
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: he is called Daddy by Tara.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Don't take for granted, Bone, your Daddy status.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: All right? Doesn't happen to all of us. Only the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: chosen few Daddies.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Don't be mad that I wear the pants in the
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: relationship 35% of the time.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: 35%.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: By the way, she listens to the podcast later because
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: she's a... a teacher, so I'm probably going to be... Philly,
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: I have a question for you. I'm not worried about it,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: but do you have to include that in the podcast?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because I told Maddie to go listen to it, so... Yeah,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: it's got to be included. So you're now giving your
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: girl's name on the air, huh? There you go. Well,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Boned or Mac did yesterday, so. Oh, my bad. Was
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I not supposed to tell her identity? We were calling
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: her Maddie the Batty off the air. Did she know that? Oh,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: my God. Yeah, and I was not a fan of
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: that nickname. Daddy called her Maddie the Batty. And so
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: did Fatty. Now Fitty's Fatty.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: What?
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I'm Fatty. I'm Fatty. Don't call him Fitty. No, I'm Fatty,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: your daddy. What is he? Vladdy? Zaddy. Zaddy. I don't care.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not him. What is he, a baseball player? Oh, God.

  Speaker 3: to get some college football going tomorrow on the show, too.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Are we into Panther power rankings right now?
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: It is Tuesday. Are we caring where they are? Where
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: are we at on power rankings right now? It depends
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: where we're at. I have a feeling after this week
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I might care. Somebody says we're up to 11 on
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: one of them. We're 15 on ESPN.com. That's not good, man. Seriously.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Moved up three spots, though.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: In one of them, we dropped three spots during a
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: bye week.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: That's true. That is true. We care about the ones
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: that are good. How about that? Pretty much. I just
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: hope the committee bone respects our win. Do you think
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: all the hurt eagles will hurt us with the committee? Oh,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: here's a real test, Matt. Pete Frisco's rankings. He's coming around, man. 14. Okay.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: He's not fully come around yet, though. But he says
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young is a legitimate MVP candidate. Bill Wilmer told J.J.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Jansen his advice on Notre Dame with the referees. Add
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: another priest to the bench and quit whining.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. All right. Anyway, let's get to some
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: of these texts here.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: 704-570-9610.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Let's see what we have going on in the text line.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: All right. So this this alleged bone, alleged golf tournament
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: scandal at Rocky River. Somebody texted in and said, your co-workers,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I think, have been I think have been busy cheating.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: And he shows me the leaderboard from this Rocky River
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: tournament at a Rocky River where DJ the Suit Stout
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: and Frank Garcia and two other teammates, Bone, won by
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: eight shots. And the guy says his buddies that lost
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: by eight shots are all scratch golfers. Oh, my goodness.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe, Bone, that these men
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: of integrity would be caught with any shenanigans on the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: golf course, damn it. That should be suing for slander.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I know. Get the lawsuit going, Garcia. Congratulations on your title, y'all.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe this guy's buddies are just upset.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Garcia's on a tour. He's on the bag tour, right?
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not inconceivable that they won by eight shots.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Not at all, baby. Frank had a day, man. If
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Frank hits them four hundies straight, you know what I mean?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: You ain't going to win. I got news for you.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: DJ can't fire me still, can he?
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I'd look into this. I'd look into this. All right,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: let's see what else is going on in the text line.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Steven from Huntersville says completion percentage would be Bryce's only
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: quote-unquote bad stat. Another texter said Bryce's completion percentage is
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: lower than the other stats, but it's because of all
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: those throwaways. Yeah, he's safe with it when under pressure,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: but I think it works out, you know, doesn't turn
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the ball over. He's 21st in completion percentage to their point.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: That's probably his worst one.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Can I say something, Mac, also about the offense right now? Yes,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: he's got Coker and T-Mac. They still don't really get
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: a ton necessarily out of that third spot that we get.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Hasn't played hardly. Brazel got hurt. There's still another level
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: to get to here when they add a consistent third
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: option of that guy down the field.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Not that the other guys can't do that.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Brazel.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: You know, that'll be next year with Brazel.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: When Brazel gets in there, there's a whole other level
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: to this offense that we haven't.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Even seen yet. Definitely. I mean, it's to the point where, Bryce,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: you want to have T-Mac and Coker in. But other
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: than that, I just see Bryce as a guy that
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: just spreads it, man. You know what I mean? Just
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: spreads it around like Oprah on a giveaway day. Look
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: under your chair.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying 7,000 yards is possible next year, but
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I'm also not saying it can't happen.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: This dude says, when Bones alter ego daddy persona, I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: picture him like Hugh Hefner in a robe with a cigar.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: And a glass of bourbon. I had a robe on
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: at Cherokee over the weekend by myself. There you go.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: That was solo daddy last weekend there at Cherokee. I
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't drinking bourbon, though. That's a little strong for me.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: That's too harsh for daddy there? Yeah, I know a
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: lot of people love it. I can't get down with
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: that either. Okay, so a couple of texters were mad
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: at Goldie again today. Adam Gold, I know you're surprised.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: He praised Bill Belichick so much that it bothered people.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Tar Heel fans loved it. I mean, he's basically peeking
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: in his window at this point. A couple of people
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: hated it. He talked about how he won in New
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: England over and over again and didn't have the greatest talent.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: And people took umbrage with this. This texter says, stop, Goldie.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Bella Cheat was nothing when Brady left. It was the
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: biggest drop-off in a coaching career. Another texter says, oh,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: this is Picante. Adam Gold, more like Adam Bronze. Once
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Brady left, the Patriots were done winning. So there you go.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: I have a kind of, like Belichick, great football coach,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: but I do feel like Goldie laid it on a
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: little thick, ignoring the fact that the greatest winner, greatest
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: quarterback ever. You know what I mean? Was there with him.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: And then when he left, the greatest quarterback won another ring,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and Belichick barely won seven games. You know?
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, Belichick, the defensive mind, is still the greatest
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: of all time. The stuff he did with the Giants,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: winning those Super Bowls.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. The Marshall Falk Super Bowl, the game plan
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: to stop Marshall Falk is legendary.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: The stuff in Parcells' book about their game plan to
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: slow down, at the time, the revolutionary Bills offense.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, that one, too? That was another one. Yeah.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: He goes to Parcells and says, we have to let
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Thurman Thomas run for 100 yards. And Parcells is like,
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: are you crazy? He's like, no, if they run the ball,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Jim Kelly's not throwing it all over the yard and
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: they're not moving as fast. If Thurman Thomas gets 100
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: yards plus, we win the Super Bowl. And he got
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: 100 yards and won the Super Bowl. It was thinking
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: of like, we're going to let a guy run. Yes,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: we want him to run the football. We don't want
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Jim Kelly to be throwing it to Reed and Lofton.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. So he is a genius.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: The Marshall Falk game plan was to beat the living
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: crap out of him as a receiver within five yards, right?
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: When you can chuck him and you can hit him.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: And they completely took him out of that part of
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the passing game. There's still the genius level. But does
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: he have a game plan to stop Malachi Nelson and
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the Syracuse offense on Saturday night? I think he does.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if he's starting, Fit. Fit, who
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: is the Syracuse starting quarterback? I'm going to have to
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: research that. Yeah, me too. They've used like four of them,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like, this season.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Someone says it's not impressive that Garcia's in the back door.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: You pay to be in the back door. Oh! i
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: thought he got qualified oh damn frank i thought he
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: qualified for it we thought you had some cute card
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: or something oh my god i like this one jj
• 39:37

• 39:58
  Speaker 3: How about we just keep this between us?
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Don't put it on the podcast, man. Now I see
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: what's happening. All right, we've got to get out of here, y'all.
