0:38
Speaker 3: shots at Belichick and Brady. We've already we have already
0:41
Speaker 3: played the Adam Venitary Vinitary McAfee a joke. We wanted
0:45
Speaker 3: to get that out of the way Bone before the
0:47
Speaker 3: kids were awake, all right, cause that one that might
0:49
Speaker 3: be he certainly did. That might be an ear muffer
0:52
Speaker 3: for the children out there. I never he was on
0:55
Speaker 3: fire man. I was too young to experience Eddie Murphy Raw.
0:59
Speaker 3: These end upset. They say, maybe the best ever. But
1:02
Speaker 3: I feel like out of Vinitary made me feel like
1:04
Speaker 3: I announced Eddie Murphy Row.
1:06
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, he was roasting fools like he was
1:08
Speaker 2: Nicky Glazer.
1:10
Speaker 3: I mean, seriously, Jeff Ross, we have a new Roastmaster,
1:13
Speaker 3: General bro. I got bad news for you, and I
1:16
Speaker 3: loved it. We had a couple of texters that.
1:18
Speaker 2: Now was he not part of the Brady Roast.
1:21
Speaker 3: Probably didn't not get it invite did they? Were they
1:24
Speaker 3: not familiar with his game? I don't think they were
1:26
Speaker 3: familiar with his game. I gotta be honest. He's a
1:29
Speaker 3: kicker from South Dakota who thought this dude had game
1:32
Speaker 3: like that when it comes to just slaying people. You
1:35
Speaker 3: know what no one noticed in his twenty four year
1:36
Speaker 3: career the guy could slay I don't think so. Man.
1:39
Speaker 3: That was amazing. That was that was amazing. We had
1:42
Speaker 3: a couple of Texterters didn't like it. There's some people
1:44
Speaker 3: that don't think that. That is not becoming of a
1:46
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame speech. It could have been worse. He
1:48
Speaker 3: could have been like Michael Jordan where he just ripped
1:51
Speaker 3: everybody and meant it. These were just jokes. Anyway, I
1:57
Speaker 3: loved it. We're gonna let you hear some of the jokes.
1:59
Speaker 3: Luke Keith did not make fun of anybody. But we
2:01
Speaker 3: will hear some of his speech. That's coming up at
2:04
Speaker 3: A twenty five and then at eight forty five. I
2:07
Speaker 3: had no idea this was a thing until the bone
2:09
Speaker 3: Man showed me yesterday. America is all over the Bears
2:15
Speaker 3: plus two and a half for week one minus two
2:17
Speaker 3: and a half minus two and a half. Yeah, for
2:20
Speaker 3: week one, we must discuss this. How does this sit
2:24
Speaker 3: with Panther Nation. I've got tastes on this. We must
2:26
Speaker 3: discuss I've got something to say about this. Anyway, we'll
2:29
Speaker 3: get into it. Meanwhile, the Bears had another injury Luthor,
2:31
Speaker 3: but it sounds like he might be back for week one.
2:33
Speaker 3: But Luther Burdon one of their keywide receivers, especially with
2:36
Speaker 3: DJ Moore leaving, He's a huge key and as a
2:40
Speaker 3: growing situation might keep him out like a month. So anyway,
2:43
Speaker 3: we'll talk about that. So we got a lot of
2:45
Speaker 3: football stuff coming up as the hour continues. JJ Jansen
2:48
Speaker 3: at nine o'clock. You heard him mentioned in Luke's speech
2:51
Speaker 3: along with his wife Laura. Great friends with Luke. I
2:55
Speaker 3: know he was celebrating bone over the weekend with Luke
2:58
Speaker 3: and Canton. So we're gonna get his recap of the
3:00
Speaker 3: festivities in Canton at nine o'clock. Let's do the weekend recap, though,
3:05
Speaker 3: let's touch on some of the non Panther stuff and
3:07
Speaker 3: let's start with the world of college sports, the world
3:11
Speaker 3: of college football. Let's start first with the stuff that
3:14
Speaker 3: will happen today and then we'll get to the folks
3:17
Speaker 3: in DC letting college sports down. I know you're all
3:20
Speaker 3: shocked by this, but how about this bone. The College
3:23
Speaker 3: Football Playoff Committee will meet today. They'll start meetings today.
3:27
Speaker 3: They are going to go over again, what new format
3:31
Speaker 3: do we want? There's the fight where the SEC is
3:34
Speaker 3: holding strong on sixteen. Everybody else wants twenty four. And
3:39
Speaker 3: I had never heard this before. Josh Pate yesterday said
3:42
Speaker 3: he is hearing that they will spend some time talking
3:46
Speaker 3: about twenty and I guess you said. Tim Brando said
3:49
Speaker 3: he was hearing the same sort of thing. Yeah, what
3:51
Speaker 3: do you think about twenty? I guess that just kind
3:54
Speaker 3: of is a compromise. I guess between the two. They
3:56
Speaker 3: said basically sixteen and then four more teams via play
4:01
Speaker 3: in that will kind of make up for the lost
4:03
Speaker 3: revenue of the championship games they would take away. So
4:07
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it kind of meets in the
4:10
Speaker 3: middle there. I guess. So there would be no conference
4:12
Speaker 3: championship games, which it does kind of feel like they're
4:14
Speaker 3: on life support as it is right now, right with
4:16
Speaker 3: the expanded playoff, and then they would have play in
4:19
Speaker 3: games for each of the Power four conferences where a
4:21
Speaker 3: spot would be on the line essentially, I mean, it
4:25
Speaker 3: doesn't I like that better than twenty four? I guess,
4:29
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess that's doable if it's going to expand.
4:32
Speaker 3: But then again, is this just the start to get
4:35
Speaker 3: to twenty? Are they going to do this for a
4:37
Speaker 3: year or two? And they go, oh, what is this
4:38
Speaker 3: just the stairway to twenty four? That's the thing if
4:42
Speaker 3: they are so close to like we can all remember
4:46
Speaker 3: when it was two in the BCS. Then it goes
4:48
Speaker 3: to four, and then we get to twelve, and they
4:50
Speaker 3: completed one year of twelve and already we're talking about sixteen.
4:53
Speaker 3: Now it's twenty four, and Ross Dellinger was reporting there
4:58
Speaker 3: is momentum here for a large playoffs, So maybe maybe
5:02
Speaker 3: it is twenty and not twenty four. But I agree
5:04
Speaker 3: with you. Does anybody think it doesn't get expanded after that?
5:06
Speaker 3: With as quick as we've been expanding here and wanting
5:08
Speaker 3: to expand, does anybody think they're gonna be done? So
5:10
Speaker 3: we'll do this for a year or two, then we'll
5:12
Speaker 3: move on to the debates, and then we'll get to
5:14
Speaker 3: twenty four. Then it will be twenty eight. You'll just
5:17
Speaker 3: it'll keep going. It'll be like March madness at some point.
5:19
Speaker 3: How long do they got to go to get our
5:21
Speaker 3: local teams in baby, keep on moving, baby, mag Did
5:24
Speaker 3: you see I don't know if remember if it was
5:26
Speaker 3: a congressman or a senator the other day that said
5:30
Speaker 3: they spend most of their time in DC now talking
5:33
Speaker 3: college sports. I don't anything else. I believe it, man,
5:37
Speaker 3: I believe it. But all that talking, everything else is all.
5:40
Speaker 2: Taken care of now.
5:41
Speaker 3: It's all about college clearly, clearly, Country's perfect. Other than
5:43
Speaker 3: college sports. All that talking. Bone didn't agree, Thank you
5:48
Speaker 3: ninety two. Appreciate that. All that talking, though, Bone didn't
5:51
Speaker 3: lead to any action in DC. Does that sound familiar?
5:54
Speaker 3: Feel like that's the way it works there. Most of
5:56
Speaker 3: the time there was no vote. They've gone on a
6:00
Speaker 3: recess until September the Senate and there was no vote
6:04
Speaker 3: as they were hoping there would be this week. It
6:06
Speaker 3: sounds like Bone there was some pushback at the last minute.
6:10
Speaker 3: There was like a dozen Republican Senators, including the esteem
6:14
Speaker 3: Tommy Tupperville, former college football coach, that had issues with
6:18
Speaker 3: the bill that was gonna go for vote. They expressed
6:21
Speaker 3: their issues the Black Caucus as well there in DC.
6:27
Speaker 3: You know, also Black Congressional Caucus also had some issues
6:32
Speaker 3: with it as well. So this thing ended up being
6:35
Speaker 3: stymied at the end. Bone Ted Cruz though, says, bone,
6:39
Speaker 3: how about this one says that it will be when
6:45
Speaker 3: they get back in September. This is there's guaranteed that
6:49
Speaker 3: a vote will take place and if approved, he says,
6:51
Speaker 3: President Trump would sign it in the law. On an
6:55
Speaker 3: episode of ESPN's College Game Day. So there you go.
7:00
Speaker 3: Are you over this bone? They've been trying for years
7:03
Speaker 3: to get help. Yes, if this doesn't work in September, which,
7:06
Speaker 3: by the way, how little are we gonna care about
7:08
Speaker 3: this crap in September when games are being played, you
7:11
Speaker 3: can miss us with this and already getting to that point,
7:14
Speaker 3: We're we're almost in the season as it is, only
7:16
Speaker 3: we've got a couple more saturdays to go.
7:18
Speaker 2: Mac.
7:18
Speaker 3: This would really be the icing on the cake. If
7:21
Speaker 3: you know, when Reese does the open the game day,
7:23
Speaker 3: he does those great monologues and they they have the
7:26
Speaker 3: drone shots flying over. He goes, we are on Capitol
7:30
Speaker 3: what if they doing game Day live from Capitol Hill,
7:34
Speaker 3: don't during a big college weekend. They're gonna be on
7:37
Speaker 3: Capitol Hill. Don't give him any ideas ninety it's ninety two.
7:41
Speaker 3: Gonna want to play a game when the White House
7:42
Speaker 3: along didn't ninety two.
7:43
Speaker 2: You're gonna do the kicking competition for McAfee. What you
7:46
Speaker 2: gonna do on game day.
7:47
Speaker 4: We'll use it bigger and better than ever before. It'll
7:52
Speaker 4: be the greatest college game day in the history of
7:55
Speaker 4: game days. We're bringing game day back.
7:59
Speaker 5: Also, better chance that game day goes to Capitol Hill
8:02
Speaker 5: before made his way to Chapelin.
8:04
Speaker 6: You know how damning it is as a Carolina football fan.
8:07
Speaker 2: God damn, that's funny, right.
8:10
Speaker 3: I don't mean to rain here on uh on the
8:13
Speaker 3: parade that you're having with tough time.
8:15
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm trying to say.
8:16
Speaker 3: Screw it.
8:16
Speaker 2: I can't talk.
8:17
Speaker 3: I don't know what Parde I'm raining on. I was
8:18
Speaker 3: gonna say, I noticed game Day's not going to Ireland
8:22
Speaker 3: to uh they did Florida, to say, Jeordia techie years
8:24
Speaker 3: A get shocking development. I don't know what I was
8:27
Speaker 3: trying to say. Fitty, I got parades, I've got rain,
8:29
Speaker 3: I've got Ireland.
8:31
Speaker 6: You think they'd go there just to have an excuse
8:33
Speaker 6: to get McAfee drunk.
8:34
Speaker 3: Oh God, and they don't even want to waste money
8:37
Speaker 3: on that doe. They can't afford his bar tab. They'd
8:40
Speaker 3: have to lay off sixteen more people. We do, though, Fitty,
8:44
Speaker 3: we do have a new big band for tar heel
8:46
Speaker 3: hoops in Chapel Hill. What can you tell me about
8:50
Speaker 3: South Dakota seven footer who falls under this five year
8:55
Speaker 3: eligibility thing?
8:56
Speaker 2: Cameron Fells? What can you tell me? Fit? Does this?
8:59
Speaker 7: Is me?
9:00
Speaker 3: Well?
9:00
Speaker 6: First off, back, his name is Cameron fins.
9:04
Speaker 7: Uh.
9:04
Speaker 6: Let's let's get the name right up here.
9:08
Speaker 2: Clean it up, Clean it enough. That sounds like I've
9:11
Speaker 2: been boozing over he. I don't know what you were doing,
9:12
Speaker 2: but this wasn't good either.
9:13
Speaker 5: Look, I was more intrigued by Duke Brennan from Villanova
9:18
Speaker 5: from Micah, hand logged it from Florida. Max six foot ten,
9:21
Speaker 5: some people say he's measured up now to seven foot
9:24
Speaker 5: north of two hundred and fifty five pounds was all
9:26
Speaker 5: Summit League last year. Led the league in rebounding, shot
9:29
Speaker 5: fifty eight percent from the field, which founder.
9:32
Speaker 6: Told me was quote not great, It was good, but
9:34
Speaker 6: not great.
9:36
Speaker 5: Look if he can rebound the ball and provide offensive
9:40
Speaker 5: rebounds a second chance scoring this this front court needs that.
9:44
Speaker 5: It doesn't elevate their floor, doesn't elevate their ceiling. But
9:48
Speaker 5: it fit in eat on Carolina's roster.
9:50
Speaker 2: It doesn't. It doesn't hurt at another body.
9:53
Speaker 5: No, they have they have, They had a scholarship and
9:56
Speaker 5: back this front body in August.
9:58
Speaker 2: It doesn't hurt you. This front court. What is unproven?
10:01
Speaker 5: You have not seen their their their top three bigs
10:03
Speaker 5: before they added fins play a minute of college basketball.
10:07
Speaker 5: Kate Binnerman got got injured, had a transfer, and then
10:11
Speaker 5: say on Kates, first off, not not in the United
10:14
Speaker 5: States yet. By the way, he's having a visa issue.
10:18
Speaker 5: Sam Maduro not cleared to practice, so they had to
10:21
Speaker 5: go get another big.
10:23
Speaker 8: Do you.
10:24
Speaker 3: By the way, Dan Hurley probably doesn't like it that
10:26
Speaker 3: the tar Heels added one of these fifth year guys.
10:28
Speaker 6: Gives a Dan Dan Hurley danly does his bitch and complaint.
10:32
Speaker 3: Dan Hurley came out over the weekend and basically put
10:37
Speaker 3: it on the coaches saying, why are we taking in
10:40
Speaker 3: these fifth year players? Take a stand. These guys shouldn't
10:44
Speaker 3: be eligible I have to be honest with you. I
10:46
Speaker 3: feel like the NCAA, as they often do, created the
10:49
Speaker 3: issue here. Why couldn't bone they have just come up
10:53
Speaker 3: with a new five year rule and said up front
10:56
Speaker 3: everybody that would be eligible for a fifth year this
10:59
Speaker 3: year can be eligible. Why Like I've seen Jeff Goodman,
11:03
Speaker 3: I don't as agree with Jeff Goodman, but he's been
11:05
Speaker 3: saying this for weeks. Why don't they Why didn't they
11:07
Speaker 3: just cut bait and say fifth year people, you're eligible?
11:10
Speaker 3: But why is it worth fighting? So the time in
11:13
Speaker 3: the n c DOUABLEA never really makes a lot of
11:15
Speaker 3: sense when they make decisions on who's eligible and they
11:18
Speaker 3: take their time on those things. When they did this
11:21
Speaker 3: whole thing, I know it has to do with the
11:24
Speaker 3: legal matters and injunctions and all this stuff, But we
11:27
Speaker 3: couldn't We couldn't do this way long ago and tried
11:31
Speaker 3: to get this thing established before August when teams don't
11:34
Speaker 3: have to scramble, players have to scramble.
11:36
Speaker 2: Why why is this being done.
11:38
Speaker 3: Just because of the court stuff? I know this is
11:40
Speaker 3: like they can we not do? Can we not get
11:43
Speaker 3: a handle on this earlier? They they well, they see
11:46
Speaker 3: that's why I'm saying. I think the answer to less
11:50
Speaker 3: chaos would have been if they just came out and said,
11:52
Speaker 3: your grandfather did in it's a fifth year, Go get
11:55
Speaker 3: your fifth year come on back, rather than the inevitable,
11:58
Speaker 3: because you knew this was going to be challenged in court. Yeah,
12:02
Speaker 3: so I just don't think they should have even fought
12:04
Speaker 3: it originally, is what I'm saying. Cole from Greenville says,
12:08
Speaker 3: no one gives a damn about UNC basketball in August. Oh,
12:12
Speaker 3: no one really cares about the Wolfpack in mark Oh damn,
12:16
Speaker 3: Cole just at Cole start.
12:17
Speaker 5: Nobody cares about the Wolfpack in general. Get look, I
12:20
Speaker 5: know it's what eight eight sixteen suns up. Go milk
12:25
Speaker 5: the cow, Go get on the tractor and get your
12:28
Speaker 5: ass to work.
12:30
Speaker 3: I just realized, serious, we're almost done the weekend recap segment.
12:33
Speaker 3: It hadn't talked about an actual sporting event that occurred
12:35
Speaker 3: this weekend. It's all the college sports news, all right,
12:40
Speaker 3: Charlotte FC. This pet bio thing's got me so mad,
12:43
Speaker 3: and no one knows what he said to the referee.
12:46
Speaker 3: Charlotte FC with a much better second half than the
12:50
Speaker 3: rough first half. They got lucky they got lucky on
12:53
Speaker 3: on a couple including the off sides bone in the
12:56
Speaker 3: first half. They very easily could have been down at halftime.
13:00
Speaker 3: Miller had a couple of good saves those subs Tiger
13:02
Speaker 3: Smalls and about a spark that though in the two
13:04
Speaker 3: nil win and they're now tied for first on gold differential.
13:09
Speaker 3: He did this is the new Tiger Smalls baby apparently did.
13:13
Speaker 3: But so they're tied for They are tied for first
13:16
Speaker 3: on goal differential with Austin. If they win, you got
13:20
Speaker 3: to figure they're going to make it through, although there
13:23
Speaker 3: are six unbeaten teams left for four spots out of
13:25
Speaker 3: the MLS and the quarterfinals. But they're not gonna have Petpiel.
13:29
Speaker 3: We're trying, like and the referee can't even properly communicate
13:33
Speaker 3: to Dean Smith what pet Biel said to him in
13:36
Speaker 3: Spanish to piss him off. Ashley Westwood just cut to
13:40
Speaker 3: the chase after the match and just said, this is
13:42
Speaker 3: the worst officiated game I've ever seen in my life.
13:46
Speaker 2: Is there any way that is there any way they
13:48
Speaker 2: get that red card? Rescind it?
13:49
Speaker 3: Do you think do you think Trump can Trump and
13:51
Speaker 3: Infantino do something here for this, What do you think, well,
13:54
Speaker 3: they look at that ninety two?
13:55
Speaker 2: You care about this pepiel or a red card?
13:58
Speaker 4: Not really a fan of Major League Soccer. I know
14:03
Speaker 4: Willie p said, is the thirteenth best league in the world.
14:06
Speaker 4: I don't care about top thirteen, all right?
14:10
Speaker 2: Ninety two.
14:10
Speaker 3: By the way, shout out Ty Gibbs second NASCAR win
14:14
Speaker 3: of his career both this season held off Christopher Bell.
14:18
Speaker 3: Pretty good race in between the two late as he
14:20
Speaker 3: held off Christopher Bell and a late charge. Also wanted
14:24
Speaker 3: to mention this football, Tedmitbone. Did you hear about the
14:28
Speaker 3: Mason Crosby and Kirk Cousins Crosby Max?
14:33
Speaker 2: Why am I calling him Mason? Who's Mason cross kick?
14:35
Speaker 3: Oh?
14:36
Speaker 2: My god?
14:37
Speaker 3: I got him involved, Max Crosby and clean up on
14:42
Speaker 3: all three. Max Crosby and Kirk Cousins fight.
14:47
Speaker 2: You couldn't have You couldn't have two opposite people fighting
14:50
Speaker 2: each other. Are you kidding me?
14:52
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is like the quarterback version of Luke. Mason
14:56
Speaker 3: Crosby is I think certifiable though, and I mean that
14:59
Speaker 3: in a good way. And by the way, they asked,
15:01
Speaker 3: did you see what they like?
15:02
Speaker 2: A member of Hell's Angels beating on mister Rodgers.
15:04
Speaker 3: He apparently hit the arm of Kirk Cousins twice like
15:11
Speaker 3: as he was strolling, and Kirk said, I'll give you
15:13
Speaker 3: the first one, second one.
15:14
Speaker 2: I'm pissed off. You're gonna hurt me here? And Mason,
15:17
Speaker 2: why do keep calling him Mason?
15:18
Speaker 3: Max Crosby was asked about it afterwards and basically said,
15:23
Speaker 3: that's the way I play. Yeah, Bro, you can't hit
15:26
Speaker 3: the quarterback. Do you think that Dell was he trying
15:29
Speaker 3: to do get Fernando Mendozo there?
15:31
Speaker 2: That's crazy?
15:32
Speaker 3: Do you think that Kirk Cousins went full Nolan Ryan
15:34
Speaker 3: and gave him the noes to that?
15:38
Speaker 4: You like that?
15:39
Speaker 1: You like that up?
15:40
Speaker 4: You like that that?
15:42
Speaker 3: That was the oddest camp fight I have ever heard
15:44
Speaker 3: about in my life. Those two, by the way, shout
15:47
Speaker 3: out to UH must give the Yankees credit bone. They
15:50
Speaker 3: got the Braves two out of three. But would they
15:53
Speaker 3: have one bone without the bulk call?
15:54
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
15:55
Speaker 3: That's all I'm asking Would they have one without that
15:58
Speaker 3: ball call? And was that the referee from the CHARLEFC
16:00
Speaker 3: match on Friday. C. J. Kikowski is going to talk
16:03
Speaker 3: about that for the rest of his life. I've never
16:05
Speaker 3: seen a guy more consumed with one call in my life.
16:07
Speaker 3: Can you turn on a Yankees legend like c J. Nikowski?
16:09
Speaker 2: Bone?
16:10
Speaker 6: How can you do that?
16:11
Speaker 3: Brandon Gowdon? Brandan Gowdon deserve better than that. This weekend
16:13
Speaker 3: when we come back, sounds of the Hall of Fame,
16:17
Speaker 3: highlights of Luke's speech, and a couple of Adam Vintari's
16:21
Speaker 3: best zingers because he's now known as the verbal Gunslinger
16:24
Speaker 3: on Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
16:44
Speaker 8: I was lucky enough to play with the greatest quarterback
16:46
Speaker 8: in Patriot history. Unfortunately he was unable to make it
16:50
Speaker 8: here today, Drew Bloodshell. I had a few more Tom
17:02
Speaker 8: Brady jokes, but I was afraid that he had run
17:04
Speaker 8: up on the stage and maybe give me a Will
17:06
Speaker 8: Smith like he did to Logan Paul last month.
17:11
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Adam Vinitari, I was not familiar with
17:15
Speaker 3: your comedic game, my friend. Man. No one was safe, Bone,
17:19
Speaker 3: No one was safe, Not even Peyton Manning's forehead was
17:22
Speaker 3: safe during that Hall of Fame speech on Saturday.
17:27
Speaker 2: I love it. It was different, man, it was different.
17:30
Speaker 7: You know.
17:30
Speaker 3: I know some people are saying that is not becoming
17:33
Speaker 3: of a Hall of Fame speech. Why is everyone got
17:36
Speaker 3: to be the same. Why can't somebody use comedy? And
17:38
Speaker 3: every time bone your time is your time up there,
17:41
Speaker 3: choose how you want to do it. And he did
17:42
Speaker 3: it differently every time he made a joke, like right
17:45
Speaker 3: after that one about Brady, he came back and said, no,
17:47
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. He's the greatest of all time. But
17:50
Speaker 3: the you know Peyton Manning joke, I'm just kidding, he said,
17:54
Speaker 3: Well he did. He made a joke about his forehead
17:57
Speaker 3: and then said, and you what that forehead means, that's
17:59
Speaker 3: a big brain inside there. So even he segued to
18:02
Speaker 3: praising him off the joke, the Belichick thing, we're gonna
18:06
Speaker 3: we're gonna end this sounds of the Hall of Fame
18:08
Speaker 3: with his joke about Belichick. But even after that he said,
18:11
Speaker 3: in all serious so like, in all seriousness, he's the
18:14
Speaker 3: best coach ever. So like he I feel like he
18:16
Speaker 3: was having fun with it. Man, I don't do Some
18:19
Speaker 3: people not want fun in their lives, he used, Get
18:22
Speaker 3: the heck out of here. He used the humor as to,
18:24
Speaker 3: like you said, as transitions to the serious stuff. That
18:27
Speaker 3: was just the way he went about it. I love it, man,
18:29
Speaker 3: I thought it was smartly done.
18:30
Speaker 2: I love it.
18:31
Speaker 3: It was beautiful And I had no idea this man
18:34
Speaker 3: could go straight like Chris like part, Eddie Murphy Park,
18:37
Speaker 3: Chris Rock part, Dave Chappelle. He's been holding this stuff
18:39
Speaker 3: in thirty years. Oh that was good man, That was good,
18:44
Speaker 3: all right. So let's get to some of the Luke
18:47
Speaker 3: sounds from his speech the other day. We talked about
18:50
Speaker 3: this in the first hour. It was a very Luke
18:53
Speaker 3: Keikley speech.
18:55
Speaker 8: Man.
18:55
Speaker 3: He mentioned so many different people that touched him, like
19:00
Speaker 3: a bunch of like close personal friends that we don't
19:02
Speaker 3: even know, like outside football that meant stuff to him,
19:06
Speaker 3: people that behind the scenes bone that we don't really
19:09
Speaker 3: know over there with the Panthers. It was the type
19:12
Speaker 3: of speech, and you're right, it wasn't a lot of
19:14
Speaker 3: antidotes involving himself. And I don't and I don't think
19:18
Speaker 3: any of us were surprised by that. No, that was
19:21
Speaker 3: exactly what I thought the Luke speech would be. It
19:23
Speaker 3: would be a lot of thinking. We said at the
19:26
Speaker 3: time when he got announced to be in the Hall
19:28
Speaker 3: of Fame, he's gonna thank everyone in that building. Could
19:31
Speaker 3: hardly talk about himself and that's fine, and that's what
19:33
Speaker 3: he did. I mean, the cafeteria workers got a shout out.
19:36
Speaker 2: They did, man, they did.
19:38
Speaker 3: I thought, like the I thought the only people that
19:40
Speaker 3: would shout out the cafeteria workers in a speech would
19:43
Speaker 3: be Lineman Bone, guys.
19:44
Speaker 2: That just date a ton of food. Yeah, exactly. All right.
19:47
Speaker 3: Let's say in one of the very authentically Luke the
19:50
Speaker 3: way it was where he wanted to show his appreciation.
19:54
Speaker 2: It wasn't about him. It was about all the people.
19:57
Speaker 3: And a lot of speeches are like this, but with him, man,
20:01
Speaker 3: it was just all about everybody that touched him and
20:04
Speaker 3: helped him in any capacity along the way. One of
20:08
Speaker 3: those people Bone that got a shout out is JJ Jansen.
20:11
Speaker 3: He's going to join us coming up at nine o'clock
20:13
Speaker 3: to talk about what it was like celebrating with Luke
20:16
Speaker 3: in Canton. Panthers will practice today at ten o'clock. All right,
20:20
Speaker 3: let's get to some of the clips from Luke. This
20:22
Speaker 3: is one where he talks about the early days and
20:24
Speaker 3: the folks like Coach Travera and Marty and the linebackers.
20:28
Speaker 3: It all helped him when he got to Carolina.
20:31
Speaker 9: Back when I arrived and Charlotte didn't have to look
20:33
Speaker 9: hard for how things were done. Marty Hernie r GM
20:35
Speaker 9: and Ron Rivera, a head coach, created a team that
20:38
Speaker 9: valued the person, hard work, being a good teammate, and
20:41
Speaker 9: most importantly, like I mentioned, enjoying the game of football.
20:45
Speaker 9: Hall of famer Sam Mills set the tone for what
20:47
Speaker 9: the linebacking room was supposed to look like when I
20:55
Speaker 9: arrived in Carolina. That standard was held by John Beeson
20:58
Speaker 9: and Thomas Davis and was learned from our GM. Currently,
21:01
Speaker 9: Dan Morgan's sitting right in front here. I couldn't have
21:06
Speaker 9: asked for a better person to start my playing career
21:09
Speaker 9: too than next to Thomas. He taught me about effort, toughness, competitiveness,
21:14
Speaker 9: and most of all, having joined the game of football,
21:17
Speaker 9: that joy can never be taken away and it helps
21:20
Speaker 9: you find a path forward when this game challenges you.
21:24
Speaker 2: So there you go.
21:24
Speaker 3: That's the early days. Those are the guys that touched him,
21:27
Speaker 3: and we said it, We talked about it Friday. John
21:30
Speaker 3: Beeson was going to be there. Luke took his job,
21:34
Speaker 3: but he harbors no ill will And like you said
21:37
Speaker 3: the Darren gann article, it didn't dig long for me
21:40
Speaker 3: to realize this dude's got to be the starting middle linebacker.
21:42
Speaker 2: You you heard it there.
21:43
Speaker 3: It was all about lifting up others on how he
21:47
Speaker 3: got there, not what he accomplished. He he lifted up
21:50
Speaker 3: everyone around him, and that's kind of the way he
21:51
Speaker 3: played the game. Also, how many times did he tell
21:54
Speaker 3: somebody where to plays coming and they ended up making
21:56
Speaker 3: a play?
21:57
Speaker 2: Yep, you know is full.
22:00
Speaker 3: As as far as what Luke enjoyed about the game,
22:05
Speaker 3: it's not shocking that he talked about the importance of
22:09
Speaker 3: enjoying time with teammates and enjoying that locker room.
22:13
Speaker 9: The joy football gave me didn't come from any particular win.
22:17
Speaker 9: It came from competing, from studying, from practicing, and from preparing.
22:22
Speaker 9: And joy came most importantly from the people that I
22:25
Speaker 9: was with. I think about the bus rides, the plane flights,
22:29
Speaker 9: being at Watford College with each other during training camp.
22:33
Speaker 9: You've never seen guys so happy, have a night off
22:36
Speaker 9: at Venus Pie eating pizza. I know Greg Olison's down
22:39
Speaker 9: there nodding his head. The relationships formed through through football unique.
22:44
Speaker 9: You see each other at your best and you see
22:47
Speaker 9: each other at your worst. You spend long days together
22:50
Speaker 9: in meeting rooms, you learn how different people communicate, lead
22:54
Speaker 9: and overcome challenges, and over time, teammates become friends and
23:00
Speaker 9: friends become family. That's why when people ask me what
23:03
Speaker 9: I miss the most about football, it's not one specific
23:07
Speaker 9: game or one specific play. It's the locker room, which
23:10
Speaker 9: I feel like I have again with you guys up here.
23:13
Speaker 9: It's the conversations that have nothing to do with sports.
23:16
Speaker 9: It's celebrating together after wins and hurting together after losses.
23:21
Speaker 3: The conversations that have nothing to do with sports. Who
23:23
Speaker 3: do you think was leading those conversations about well, that's
23:26
Speaker 3: when they panned the Jets, JJ and Greg Man. Yeah,
23:31
Speaker 3: it's interesting back that, and I know it's part of
23:34
Speaker 3: the speech and about everything around him, but it feels
23:38
Speaker 3: like maybe Luke enjoyed. You would think that game day
23:42
Speaker 3: would be what he prepared for in his favorite time,
23:45
Speaker 3: but the way he talks and I wouldn't have guessed this.
23:48
Speaker 3: Luke seemed to like everything around it almost as much
23:51
Speaker 3: as the actual game day. He loved the downtime with
23:53
Speaker 3: the fellas that he made that comment to Olsen about, yeah,
23:57
Speaker 3: the seasons are great. How much fun was it in
23:58
Speaker 3: the offseason, trying to get the game day was his
24:01
Speaker 3: whole purpose. Yeah, it feels like that game day was
24:04
Speaker 3: almost secondary to how they got there, whether it's the
24:06
Speaker 3: film work, the workouts, the camaraderie. It felt like game
24:09
Speaker 3: day was just part of the experience, not everything. That's cool, man,
24:14
Speaker 3: that's definitely cool, And you could tell how much the
24:16
Speaker 3: bonds meant to him. J D's Wolfpack says Luke and
24:20
Speaker 3: Drew both mentioning each other and their speeches was cool.
24:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could see the respect there.
24:25
Speaker 3: I know we had a text earlier and someone says,
24:27
Speaker 3: I love Luke's speech except when he said nice things
24:29
Speaker 3: about Drew Brees and Sean Payton. Listen, there was a
24:32
Speaker 3: little bit too much Peyton appreciation going on between Luke
24:36
Speaker 3: and Drew Brees's speech, But he's a hell of a
24:39
Speaker 3: football coach and man, they were tough to beat together,
24:42
Speaker 3: and Luke, that's game recognizing game right there. The battles
24:46
Speaker 3: that Luke and Drew had together, Like, I kind of
24:50
Speaker 3: think it's cool, the mutual respect between the two. Yeah,
24:52
Speaker 3: Luke said Drew's the best player that he played again,
24:54
Speaker 3: so obviously they're in the same Hall of Fame class.
24:57
Speaker 2: He's going to shout a mat.
24:58
Speaker 3: Sean Payton also knew where the cameras were, and he
25:00
Speaker 3: made sure he got his lips on that. Did you hear?
25:03
Speaker 3: Drew Brees said, pers lips during the speech. I had
25:07
Speaker 3: never heard that before until you said it.
25:10
Speaker 2: Yeah about you.
25:11
Speaker 3: You called Sean Payton. You talked about purse lips, And
25:13
Speaker 3: since then I've heard like four people say it. Yeah,
25:15
Speaker 3: that's the thing's got que hooks, doctor hooks prescriptions. Not
25:21
Speaker 3: happy with you right now?
25:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I messed up. I'm messed up. We really got
25:24
Speaker 2: clean up of three. I guess from your mistake. We
25:28
Speaker 2: don't have to dwell on it.
25:29
Speaker 3: He says. I was saying antidote and not anecdote. There
25:33
Speaker 3: you go, man, all right, Uh, everybody else not surprised.
25:37
Speaker 3: He's the only one surprised by that development the time. Also,
25:40
Speaker 3: all right, anyway, no, it's not an antidote. There wasn't
25:42
Speaker 3: some sort of like you know, precious liquid and medicine
25:46
Speaker 3: that that they that Luke was passing out.
25:49
Speaker 2: It was stories. He was telling, all right, let me
25:51
Speaker 2: move along here. Very nice. You boned to.
25:53
Speaker 3: Circle back to the mess I made. Make sure we
25:55
Speaker 3: clean that up there very nice. You would never do
25:58
Speaker 3: something what never would never happen? All right, let me
26:01
Speaker 3: move along.
26:02
Speaker 2: Oh what? Luke also brought up the song that annoyed
26:05
Speaker 2: him in New Orleans. And I've never been to a
26:09
Speaker 2: game in the superdomes. I don't know what was it?
26:12
Speaker 3: Something about getting crunk, stand up and get crunk or
26:16
Speaker 3: something like that. Anybody familiar with this one? Any any
26:19
Speaker 3: of my fellow uh old white dude familiar with this one?
26:23
Speaker 2: Is that where they? Is that where Teddy Bridgewater used
26:25
Speaker 2: to do that?
26:26
Speaker 3: That like motorcy maybe, but troop but apparently annoyed the
26:31
Speaker 3: crap out of Luke Keickley. All right, let's move along here, bone,
26:34
Speaker 3: because I do. It's by the ying Yank Twins.
26:37
Speaker 2: There you go. You should know that.
26:38
Speaker 3: How do I not know that you're so hip? I
26:40
Speaker 3: would have thought one of the ying Yank twins back
26:43
Speaker 3: still tied into them early? My wife, I just kidd,
26:47
Speaker 3: I don't have anything to say to that. When I
26:49
Speaker 3: was looking for something clever, I don't have anything. All right,
26:51
Speaker 3: let me move along here. Everybody that has ever been
26:54
Speaker 3: grateful to their parents can appreciate Luke Keikley is in
26:59
Speaker 3: his parents and the bond they have. His dad presented
27:03
Speaker 3: him this and they did a hell of a job.
27:05
Speaker 3: This is Luke thanking his parents.
27:07
Speaker 9: And lastly, to my mom and dad, thank you. There
27:11
Speaker 9: are not enough words. Thank you for every ride, every practice,
27:14
Speaker 9: every sacrifice, every lesson, every meal. Mom, for every lunch
27:19
Speaker 9: packed annoyed phone call on the way home from games
27:22
Speaker 9: and from Sunday night football evenings on the couch.
27:26
Speaker 2: Dad.
27:27
Speaker 9: I think Larry mentioned this or somebody already mentioned it.
27:29
Speaker 9: For the most thoughtful, well thought out answers. You gave
27:32
Speaker 9: me what I needed, not always what I wanted, and
27:35
Speaker 9: that's so important. Thank you for showing John Henry and
27:38
Speaker 9: me what love and consistency looks like. Thank you for
27:41
Speaker 9: creating a home or effort humility and gratitude mattered. Thank
27:45
Speaker 9: you for teaching me that a simple smile goes a
27:47
Speaker 9: long way. You never pushed me to be a good
27:50
Speaker 9: football player. You push me to be a good person,
27:53
Speaker 9: and that gift means more than anything.
27:54
Speaker 1: I love you, guys.
27:55
Speaker 3: Every one of his immediate family members crying, which is
27:59
Speaker 3: which is cool. I also bone we're getting multiple texts
28:03
Speaker 3: about Luke Keighley, people being surprised to see Luke Keigley's girlfriend.
28:08
Speaker 3: We had a text that said I thought he was
28:09
Speaker 3: just Charlotte's biggest bachelor for years.
28:12
Speaker 2: He has been. It's a girlfriend, not a wife. We
28:14
Speaker 2: know that guy.
28:15
Speaker 3: I did some research on this because he mentioned Hannah
28:19
Speaker 3: right there in the speech, the one he had initially
28:22
Speaker 3: from back in the day. Noticed a new one was
28:24
Speaker 3: not named Hannah. Oh so I think that he had
28:29
Speaker 3: one maybe while he played. And I think Hannah that's
28:33
Speaker 3: been there since he retired, maybe the last four or
28:37
Speaker 3: five years. Yeah, they're the one that was in the
28:39
Speaker 3: medical field, was what he played. And Hannah's been around
28:43
Speaker 3: I think the last NFLO year. Okay, And and but
28:45
Speaker 3: that's what it is, and he is there is there
28:47
Speaker 3: is two different ones. He's always been extremely private though
28:49
Speaker 3: in his relationships, like it's not one of the one
28:52
Speaker 3: of those things that you know gets out there much
28:54
Speaker 3: at all, which is again typical Luke fashion.
28:56
Speaker 2: Now here's the part of the very private too, shout
28:59
Speaker 2: out terror out there, but the way listening right.
29:00
Speaker 3: Here's the part of Luke's speech that had me tearing
29:06
Speaker 3: up at the end when he mentions panther fans.
29:10
Speaker 9: I'm going to close with something that Jerry Richardson used
29:12
Speaker 9: to say he must have told us a thousand times
29:15
Speaker 9: the most valuable member of the team is the fan. Well,
29:28
Speaker 9: the fans in Charlotte and throughout the Carolina sure proved
29:30
Speaker 9: that mister Richardson was right. You welcomed us. More importantly,
29:34
Speaker 9: you welcomed me to the community, and every game, every
29:36
Speaker 9: play at Bank of America Stadium felt like being home
29:39
Speaker 9: because of you guys. Some of you were here in
29:42
Speaker 9: Canton and that means the world to me.
29:45
Speaker 2: Did you shed any tears at all? Bone or No? No,
29:48
Speaker 2: I actually didn't cry. That got me when he started
29:51
Speaker 2: mentioning fans, that got me. I didn't.
29:52
Speaker 3: I was, I was into it, but I didn't. I
29:55
Speaker 3: didn't actually cry. Panther fitty, did you?
29:59
Speaker 6: I did not cry. Got a little emotional.
30:03
Speaker 3: Well, you weren't even rooting for Luke during the best
30:05
Speaker 3: game was against Dallas, so I can understand.
30:07
Speaker 5: Well, Well, here's the thing, panther, panther ass, that's the
30:11
Speaker 5: best of his career.
30:13
Speaker 2: Well it sounds like a texture game. All right, let's
30:16
Speaker 2: go his career real.
30:18
Speaker 6: One stuff against New Orleans at the Bankings. When we talked,
30:22
Speaker 6: we talked watching the Ravens or something like that.
30:24
Speaker 2: I was, actually so, I was at the stadium. You
30:28
Speaker 2: who cares?
30:29
Speaker 6: Willie goes to the sitting watches the Jets on.
30:31
Speaker 2: His tablet, probably on the same day. Can we get
30:34
Speaker 2: to can we get to one more? No, Adam, I'm
30:38
Speaker 2: sick of it. You've got to wear it fit you.
30:41
Speaker 3: Literally, during the best year of the Panthers, you left
30:43
Speaker 3: the Panthers fan base because you hated Panther fans being cocky.
30:46
Speaker 2: I hated you, get it, Get it right, I hated you,
30:51
Speaker 2: hated Colin. You in Colin.
30:54
Speaker 3: But but has anybody boned in sports? Maybe we're not
30:58
Speaker 3: going to get to Vintary here? Has anybody in sports
31:00
Speaker 3: ever gotten decided to leave a fan base because we're
31:05
Speaker 3: so good that my fellow fans are arrogant?
31:08
Speaker 2: Let me check my notes here. I'm not seeing anybody.
31:12
Speaker 2: There's job.
31:13
Speaker 3: It's killing Marlow, Cowboy, Root and Booty got sad the
31:18
Speaker 3: day after Thanksgiving? Why and you tuned into the radio
31:21
Speaker 3: station and after we got over slain his soil in
31:24
Speaker 3: his pants, it was all Panther talk. Anybody this Texas
31:28
Speaker 3: says Fitty gonna cry again. Another Texas says, Fitty didn't
31:31
Speaker 3: cry until his shower afterwards. I'm on the anxiety medication
31:36
Speaker 3: at the last couple of years. I don't really cry
31:37
Speaker 3: nearly as much as I used to, although there was
31:43
Speaker 3: if you actually let me finish, if you actually, if
31:47
Speaker 3: you actually let me finish the statement there panther ass
31:51
Speaker 3: heels ass, I was gonna say unless so, if you
31:55
Speaker 3: let me finish it, I would.
31:56
Speaker 2: Have made the joke for you.
31:58
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we're all getting fight the up in here.
32:01
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, panther fitting Why did I go back? Sorry
32:03
Speaker 3: to him for you jerk? I got why did it?
32:05
Speaker 3: But I started it?
32:06
Speaker 2: Though? Why did I have to go back? I gotta
32:08
Speaker 2: let that go, Fitty, I gotta let that go. Yeah, yeah,
32:11
Speaker 2: I gotta let that go. I was in a good
32:13
Speaker 2: mood until that comment.
32:16
Speaker 3: You made my own jokes, all right, And because we
32:18
Speaker 3: started arguing and bicker and now we gotta wait another
32:22
Speaker 3: hour bone to hear Ada Minitary layath to smack it
32:25
Speaker 3: down on Bill Belichick during his speech.
32:28
Speaker 2: So that's when Fitty stole this thing out, you think so?
32:32
Speaker 3: Dody Rushan says, this is great radio, although the seven
32:35
Speaker 3: oh four number says you two literally sound like like
32:39
Speaker 3: three kids arguing in the back when I drive them
32:42
Speaker 3: to school.
32:43
Speaker 2: I wasn't even involved in this, and I got dragged
32:45
Speaker 2: into it.
32:46
Speaker 3: When we come back, America is all over the Bears
32:49
Speaker 3: and the Points in Week one? How do they make
32:52
Speaker 3: us feel a little strange to me? Sports Radio ninety seven.
33:09
Speaker 7: You're a division title defense, which is different coming into
33:12
Speaker 7: this season than seasons past. What does that mean for you?
33:15
Speaker 9: Guys?
33:16
Speaker 10: We gotta start fast, you know. To me, that's what
33:18
Speaker 10: I feel like we gotta do. We gotta start fast.
33:21
Speaker 10: There's no more walking into games and teams thinking were
33:24
Speaker 10: playing playing the Panthers and we sneak up and beat them.
33:26
Speaker 10: You know, team's gonna give us their best shot. I
33:28
Speaker 10: feel like we aren't nervous fit, so we gotta go
33:31
Speaker 10: out there and back it up and you know, start
33:32
Speaker 10: games fast and get win.
33:36
Speaker 2: That is J. C.
33:37
Speaker 3: Horne with the NFL Network. It was Sarah Wall Steve Smith.
33:40
Speaker 3: You might be familiar with him. They were broadcasting live
33:44
Speaker 3: during their NFL Network training camp tour yesterday here in Charlotte.
33:49
Speaker 3: Panthers will have a practice again today at ten o'clock.
33:53
Speaker 3: Starters will play on Saturday, Goodie Goodie. Unfortunately, Haines King
33:58
Speaker 3: sounds like that hamstring Bone will definitely have him out
34:01
Speaker 3: for this week, and then Canal said after that we
34:04
Speaker 3: go from there. I also wanted to shout out Mike K.
34:08
Speaker 3: I had heard rumblings about this Bone, but was, you know,
34:12
Speaker 3: wanted to hear it from him. He has announced on
34:15
Speaker 3: Twitter that he is the new NFL Nation Panthers reporter
34:20
Speaker 3: for ESPN at ESPN dot com. So congratulations to Mike K.
34:25
Speaker 3: And how did he announce it? Bone with a notebook?
34:29
Speaker 2: He's got a new notepad for a new job, well earned.
34:32
Speaker 3: Guy works extremely hard. He's a class individual. Can't be
34:37
Speaker 3: happier for a guy than Mike A one hundred percent.
34:39
Speaker 3: That's cool man, that's cool, all right?
34:42
Speaker 2: Bone?
34:42
Speaker 3: So you you are great about if I don't see something,
34:46
Speaker 3: I can usually rely on like you were fitty or
34:48
Speaker 3: going to see something right. We're always sharing information and
34:52
Speaker 3: I did not know about this, and now that I've seen.
34:55
Speaker 2: It, it annoys me.
34:57
Speaker 3: But I only saw it because we have a a
35:00
Speaker 3: guest on this week that tweeted about it. I happen
35:03
Speaker 3: to see it on his page. It's a good fine,
35:05
Speaker 3: so I didn't notice it either until Yes, it's a
35:07
Speaker 3: good fine because it's gonna get us talking about Week
35:10
Speaker 3: one and this huge game against the Bears, because apparently
35:15
Speaker 3: it is the number one bet of Week one. So
35:19
Speaker 3: far in the early wagering, ninety three percent of the
35:22
Speaker 3: bets against the spread are the Bears minus two and
35:27
Speaker 3: a half. Only seven percent of the wagers take the
35:30
Speaker 3: Panthers into points. Eighty percent of the total money is
35:34
Speaker 3: on the Bears. Do you view this bone like, does
35:39
Speaker 3: this shock you? Because this views me. This feels to me,
35:42
Speaker 3: and again I'm biased, a lot of us are, but
35:45
Speaker 3: it feels to me like a toss up field goal
35:48
Speaker 3: type of football game.
35:49
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the Bears can't beat us.
35:51
Speaker 3: I would not act like that, but like to have
35:54
Speaker 3: this be that overwhelmingly America is going with is going
36:00
Speaker 3: with the Bears.
36:00
Speaker 2: That shocks me.
36:01
Speaker 3: As a guy that pays attention to all these things
36:04
Speaker 3: in the moving in the lines, I would have never
36:07
Speaker 3: guessed that that amount of money was coming in on
36:09
Speaker 3: the Bears. It's a two and a half point spread,
36:11
Speaker 3: and he said it was what ninety three percent on
36:14
Speaker 3: the spread?
36:15
Speaker 4: Right?
36:16
Speaker 2: Ninety three percent of the spread bets are on the Bears.
36:19
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money on one side for a
36:21
Speaker 3: two and a half point spread against the home team,
36:24
Speaker 3: you automatically get some points or being the home team, Matt,
36:27
Speaker 3: that is a lot of people a falling in love
36:30
Speaker 3: with the Bears early. You can see that happening because
36:32
Speaker 3: the cable boy of the Ben Johnson and be not
36:35
Speaker 3: believing the Panthers. But that is a ton of money
36:37
Speaker 3: on one side for a spread that that that's that close.
36:41
Speaker 3: Did these folks? I would have thought maybe, you know,
36:43
Speaker 3: sixty forty something like that in the ninety percent area.
36:47
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
36:48
Speaker 3: It's like, who are we man? Two playoff teams? By
36:50
Speaker 3: the way, it seems like the Panthers didn't make the
36:52
Speaker 3: playoff last year? Did they not watch the Rams game
36:55
Speaker 3: in the same building they're gonna play the Bears at
36:57
Speaker 3: and they didn't think that team has a chance against
36:59
Speaker 3: the Bears?
37:00
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
37:01
Speaker 3: I know that the recent the Luther Burden stuff doesn't
37:03
Speaker 3: count for that, but they did lose Kobe Bryant also,
37:05
Speaker 3: they did and.
37:05
Speaker 2: We'll see Luther Burden.
37:06
Speaker 3: They're saying the wide receiver who had forty seven catches
37:09
Speaker 3: last year should be back for the opener, But they're
37:12
Speaker 3: also saying it's a month long injury and it's basically
37:14
Speaker 3: a month and three days. So if he has you know,
37:17
Speaker 3: if it takes a little longer, there's a chance he
37:19
Speaker 3: misses that. Obviously, we've had injuries, injuries. I mean, look
37:23
Speaker 3: at the way we played the Rams twice in that building.
37:25
Speaker 3: Look what we did against the Bucks in that building,
37:27
Speaker 3: Look what we did in Green Bay. And I think
37:30
Speaker 3: you should expect this team.
37:31
Speaker 2: To be better.
37:32
Speaker 3: I realize not everybody nationally does, but to add Jalen
37:36
Speaker 3: Phillips and Devin Lloyd to me, this team's going to
37:39
Speaker 3: be better.
37:39
Speaker 2: Bryce is having a camp of his life.
37:41
Speaker 3: His young receivers bone or a year older, year wiser
37:45
Speaker 3: team Max put on twenty pounds. Dave Canalis, I think
37:48
Speaker 3: will be a better head coach because he gave up
37:50
Speaker 3: the play calling. Like I just I don't want to
37:53
Speaker 3: be kind of part of me kind of likes it
37:54
Speaker 3: because the Panther seemed to be better at times when
37:56
Speaker 3: they're under the radar. Yeah, but it is a little
37:59
Speaker 3: bit odd that it's that heavily weighted. One way, this
38:01
Speaker 3: is good. The Bears are going to get heavily, heavily
38:04
Speaker 3: high Darth they that's gonna.
38:05
Speaker 2: Be part of this. I think that is part of
38:06
Speaker 2: this that you can see market team.
38:08
Speaker 3: They've got a guy emerging as a star quarterback at
38:12
Speaker 3: dynamic coach, they made the playoffs last year. I think
38:15
Speaker 3: it's people wanting to will the Bears to be relevant
38:19
Speaker 3: and good again.
38:19
Speaker 2: You can see it on ESPN. We've talked about it
38:22
Speaker 2: for years. They weren't even good.
38:23
Speaker 3: Remember when they had justin fields and ESPN would talk
38:25
Speaker 3: like they are just one of these teams, right.
38:28
Speaker 2: That gets twe the.
38:29
Speaker 3: Cowboys, how they offer practice until the Bears are and
38:32
Speaker 3: then you throw in the Panthers are just an easy team.
38:35
Speaker 3: Bone in little old Carolina, it feels like too yeah,
38:39
Speaker 3: they can't do that again. They were only eight to nine,
38:41
Speaker 3: So I guess it's a combination of those things. I
38:44
Speaker 3: still question, like Caleb Williams only completed fifty eight percent
38:48
Speaker 3: for as good as he was, He's got improving to do.
38:51
Speaker 3: We don't think Bryce Young, who beat Stafford once and
38:55
Speaker 3: almost got him a second time in a playoff, we
38:57
Speaker 3: don't think he can get the best of Caleb Williams.
38:59
Speaker 3: And they who's Kobe Bryant bone. Their defense was a
39:02
Speaker 3: weak spot last year on that team. I mean, listen,
39:05
Speaker 3: I respect Ben Jones. I'm not saying that the Bears
39:07
Speaker 3: can't come in here and win the game, but to
39:09
Speaker 3: have it be I would have never guessed that was
39:12
Speaker 3: the point spread that ninety three percent of America was like, Oh,
39:15
Speaker 3: I'm on that Bears side.
39:16
Speaker 2: Not the most, not the most of Week one's games,
39:20
Speaker 2: that's the most.
39:21
Speaker 3: It's the most money on one team in all of
39:23
Speaker 3: Week one, as the as the tweet says, b Bob
39:26
Speaker 3: mag with a really great take here, he thinks it
39:28
Speaker 3: because Haynes King is hurt right now. All the money
39:32
Speaker 3: came in after Saturday when the injury news came down.
39:36
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's well played, right there, Bob, That
39:39
Speaker 3: is well played. You bring on up a good point too,
39:42
Speaker 3: and a bunch of Texters are bringing it up.
39:44
Speaker 2: You know.
39:44
Speaker 3: I get caught up in this because I'm like, man, Betters,
39:47
Speaker 3: what are you doing America?
39:48
Speaker 2: You're underrating the Panthers. But you bring up the point
39:52
Speaker 2: like is it a bad thing?
39:53
Speaker 3: Though?
39:54
Speaker 10: Like?
39:54
Speaker 3: And I just I want Canalis to play stuff like
39:56
Speaker 3: that up though, And I don't know if he does.
39:58
Speaker 3: Ron Ron Revere was on with us in an awesome
40:01
Speaker 3: interview on Friday, and he talked about bone and he
40:04
Speaker 3: had talked about this previously, but it was great to
40:07
Speaker 3: hear him talk about it the way that he had
40:09
Speaker 3: everybody mad because Dallas was favorites in that Thanksgiving game.
40:13
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not gonna get back into it a
40:14
Speaker 3: fitting again, don't worry, but like he had, like he
40:18
Speaker 3: had the players ticked about that. And then he told
40:22
Speaker 3: us Friday, and I'd never heard this part before that
40:24
Speaker 3: he said, the only reason that their favorites is because
40:27
Speaker 3: Tony Romo's coming back from injury and he's like, one
40:29
Speaker 3: guy ain't better than this team. And he said he
40:32
Speaker 3: had them so mad at Tony Romo.
40:34
Speaker 2: And what did they do?
40:35
Speaker 3: Luke went out there and hit him with an elbow
40:37
Speaker 3: in the end zone after scoring a touchdown, Thomas dam
40:39
Speaker 3: Has knocked him the bleep like he had them so
40:42
Speaker 3: mad at Tony Romo that day. I I don't know
40:45
Speaker 3: if Canalis does that sort of thing, but I kind
40:47
Speaker 3: of wish he would.
40:48
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if it does or not, but
40:50
Speaker 2: we'll try though.
40:51
Speaker 3: All right, try JJ, you out there listening, Tell these boys,
40:55
Speaker 3: We'll tell JJ when he comes on. Well, I tell
40:57
Speaker 3: JJ to spread it around the locker room. We'll get
40:59
Speaker 3: them all or up here when we come back. The
41:02
Speaker 3: aforementioned JJ Janssen was in can he'll react to what
41:07
Speaker 3: he saw and heard, telling us some stories about Luke
41:10
Speaker 3: and Moore on Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ
