Mac & Bone Hour 2: Tips For Brad Idzik · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You got to control what you control. If I was
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to get traded, that's the item I can control. Can't
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: really focus on that. Just got to focus on being
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the best version of me, being the best teammate I
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: can be, best brother, teammate, player, et cetera, just being
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the best I can be every day when I walk
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in the building.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: That's J.T.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Sanders, Panther tight end, being asked yesterday by the media
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: at his locker about trade rumors being out there. And
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think we know, Bone, really how much substance
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: there is to that. We just know that it's been
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: out there. The reporter covers the Packers. I had mentioned
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: the Packers had, you know, before they chose an alternative.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: So we don't know how much substance there are, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: it's out there. And, you know, he's just trying to
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: keep his head down and do his job. It'll be
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: interesting to see how the tight end position sorts itself
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: out over the next couple of weeks. It is Panther
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Game Week, everybody, the Mac and Bone Show. We are
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: here to get you ready for Panthers-Bears Week.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: At the bank on Sunday.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And there's so many conversations to have bone about this.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: We'll talk specifically about the opener and are the bears,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: a team that bothers you the way they do bone.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: And I, if you want to follow an account on
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Twitter that is bothered by the bears fans and argues
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: with them on the regular four man rush.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I don't know which one of the guys
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: runs that account.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: But they are already going back and forth with Bears fans.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: And they go back and forth with Falcons fans every
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: day of the year.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: But Bears fans, it has already started. This is actually
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: a good team they're fighting with right now.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: You've got to at least respect them a little bit, right?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: But anyway, we'll talk all about it. But I want
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: to talk a little bit about Brad Itzikbone. Joe Person
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and Mike Kay both... did articles about brad idzik kind
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: of feature pieces about him as he gets ready to
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: call plays in his first regular season game this week
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: mike k was kind of talking about the thought that
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: um Idzik could be the guy to bring a more
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: aggressive downfield passing approach. It's one of the things that
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: we've been clamoring for here, which is, hey, Bryce was
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: real efficient throwing it downfield last year. But the combination
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: of Dave and probably Bryce not taking chances, like, they've
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: got to be more aggressive in that respect. And then
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Joe Person's article told a story that I had never
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: heard before, that Brad Idzikbone was on– the Pro Bowl
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: staff as an assistant in 2019 and got tasked with
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: coming up with a trick play. Remember the Pro Bowl.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Rest in peace to the great Pro Bowl. And Brad Idzik.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: showed the NFC Pro Bowlers a double pass trick play
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: that Presbyterian ran against his Wake Forest Demon Deacons. It
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: was like a year after he left Wake Forest. Brad
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: played wide receiver at Wake, for those who don't know.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And here he's showing these Pro Bowlers a play that
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: is being run by Presbyterian and says, we're going to
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: run this one on Sunday.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And it resulted in a 34-yard gain. I'd never heard
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that story before. How about that? Could we break that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: out Sunday?
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Was that now? I know I'm throwing it out there.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to remember. Was that the Presbyterian team that
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: didn't believe in punting? Remember we had that coach on
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: back then. We had the coach that did trick plays
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: and never punted and never kicked extra points.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: It might be.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I think it was in that time frame area, right? Yeah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it was. It was.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: It's true.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Kevin Kelly was the coach back then. Did you just
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Google that? Yeah, right now.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, I was going to say, if you pulled that
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: with no Google, that would have been remarkable.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I'm making sure right now that I think it was
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: that guy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: That might be why he had carte blanche to do
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: some trick plays.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: There you go, man. Blanche or blanche? Carte blanche. All right,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: blanche is you're thinking Golden Girls over there.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You're right, you're right. But anyway, I thought that was
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: a fun, cool story.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: But let's talk about Idzik specifically, Bone, because this is
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: going to be the last conversation before he calls plays.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And Monday, he's either a hero or fans are losing
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: their mind saying.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Give the play, call it back to Dave.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about Idzik calling plays? Like, do
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: you think it's an upgrade? Do you want to sit
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: in a neutral space and say, I got to be honest,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Or do you fear it could be a problem? Like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: what do you think?
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: No, I love it because of what it does for
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Canales within the game. It frees up his mind. You know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Canales Mac is still going to have. So the Canales
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: in the play designs are mainly going to be his.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: It's just within the game, it is going to have
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: the the. the ability to know what to do. No,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I think it works out fine. Bevel's there to help
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: throughout the week when needed. No, I think this is
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: going to ultimately be a great thing. It gets highly
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: thought of, Mac, before this. When you look at that
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: list that comes out every year, who does the– is
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: it Breer? I'm trying to remember who does that list
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: of all the– I think.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It might be him. All the people in the league.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: That are highly thought of for, you know, moving up
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: to whether it be moving up to a new assistant
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: coach role, OC or head coach. Brad Inzik has come
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: up the last couple of years on that list. So
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: I think that he's highly thought of and I think
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: it's going to be a great thing. I think he'll
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: do a great.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Job with it. I haven't seen it yet.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: But I like what it's going to do for Canales
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: also in terms of game management.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: That's been my whole thing, is you don't have a
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: distracted head coach and you don't have a distracted play call. Right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: You've got somebody that is doing each of those jobs separately.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And listen, I know that there's many great coaches, Bone,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: like a McVay or Shanahan, and they can do the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: two jobs and they can make it look easy. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: for Dave Canales, where he's at in his coaching career,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I think this is a good move. I think it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: a selfless move, too. I don't know why some fans
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: like try to turn it into a negative thing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: We had somebody text yesterday.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Dave Canales fired himself already as offensive coordinator.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: So if we have a bad year, look out.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And it's just like, no, he made a very safeless
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: move that was that he made because Dave Canales ain't
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: looking out for himself. He's looking out for the Carolina
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Panthers and he has the ability to look inwardly. and
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to decide what's best for the team nick siri listen
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: he's not one of these guys bone that did it
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: because the bosses told him you have to do it
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: because we suck so bad he did it after a
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: playoff year where the offense can stand to improve so
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: i just i don't i don't like negative narratives about
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: it now if you want to say brad edzik's young
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: and i'm worried about brad edzik learning on the job
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: during this early stretch of the season where we're also
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: worried about the whole line i'm Like, if you want
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to say that, I understand it. But trying to turn
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Canales giving Idzik this job. And by the way, he
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: trusts Idzik. Like, I mean, they're practically family, right? They
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: were together in Seattle. Idzik followed him to Tampa and
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: followed him here. These two guys are on the same
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: page more than they're not. You know, I think part
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: of the reason, Mac, that that. People will say, oh, Kanellis,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: he gave it up. They want to complain about Kanellis' plays.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: They want to say, oh, Kanellis is terrible.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Now they've lost, Matt, the ability to complain about Kanellis'
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: play calling, and that hurts the haters. That hurts the
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: doubters and the chatters. They want to complain about Kanellis,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: and they took the play calling away. Now they've lost something.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: You don't think they could just complain about Brad? Well,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: it's a whole new tournament.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Tournament, offensive, Everett. It's a whole new thing for them now.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: It's a new guy.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: But they want to complain about the head coach and
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: what he's doing wrong. And now they're going to have
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: to complain about the assistant coach, and it doesn't mean
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: quite as much.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Okay. Because when they do it about Averro, they seem
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to do that pretty well. I know these people. These people.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: You people!
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I know the freaks and the creeps. How do you
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: feel about Brad Enzik calling plays? Listen, we've got a
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: very small sample of preseason games this year. You know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: one or two last year, whatever, to go after Bone.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I do love the way he moved the quarterback during
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the preseason. You'll hear me talk about bootlegs and moving
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks all the time.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: You'll hear about me in short yardage and.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Down by the goal line, talking about the bootleg and giving,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: giving guys like Bryce a run pass option. He moved
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the quarterback a lot, including Bryce. And so now as
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: we segue into this portion of the conversation, uh, which is,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you know, if you could give Brad Idzik as if
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: he cares and needs it. But if you could give
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Brad Idzik one piece of advice, do this. Don't do that. Like,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the first thing I would start with is keep getting
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Bryce on the move. I think that is something that
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Dave did not do enough necessarily, and that's one suggestion
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: that I would give. So if you're a Panther fan,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: at bone you are, I'll ask you and I'll ask
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: everybody listening, what's your things you'd like to see Brad
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Idzik do?
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: What about speed up the tempo a little bit with
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: the offense? Because, Mac, I think that when Bryce is just–
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Like you're talking about on the move when Bryce is
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: just reacting and we get Bama Bryce that's just out
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: there playing football and not what we know that the
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: brain is a big thing for Bryce. But I feel
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: like he's at his best when he's out there just reacting.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: He's not overthinking stuff. And I feel like if the
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: offense is moving quicker. like sometimes it is towards the
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: end of the games when he's really good, I think
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: the tempo speeding up and just letting Bryce react to
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: go out there and play football like he did at
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: BAM and not having to overthink it a little bit,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: I think playing at a faster speed with the offense
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: is big for Bryce.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: This is something we've been talking about, Bone, since that
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: infamous 10-game stretch at the end of 2024.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, I've heard about that.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: It's like, dude, he's really better, it seems like, in
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: those situations. You see it in the game-winning drives. He
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: had six of them last year, the most since he
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: came into the league. So yeah, that's something too. Now
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: there's a fine line. Cause if you do it and
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: you go three and out, my God, the defense is
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: back on the field and the heat on and all
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: that stuff.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: But I agree with you on that. I think so.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of people are saying chuck the ball deep,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: more deep. Definitely we want that aggression. There's no doubt
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: about it. We want a little bit more aggression. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: it's got to come from Brad. It's got it. Dave's
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: got to sign off on it and not reel him
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: back in. And then it's got to come from Bryce
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to Bryce is a guy that at times will be
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: very conservative with the football. So we need him to
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: trust those abilities as well. It makes me sad about
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Brazel not being in there because it. His ability to
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: stretch the defense and what that would allow T-Mac to.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Do more in the slot. Man, it just sucks that
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Brazel went down when he did because he was going to–
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: it might not have been a ton of catches, but
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: his presence alone, you were going to have to account
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: for him out there. And that was just inherently– gonna
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: open stuff up for the other wide out.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: That would have been huge it was something they don't
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: have on the team um so it does suck there's
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: no doubt about it but something else that they haven't
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: had on the team is jonathan brooks and i would
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: implore them not that they shouldn't run the ball with
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: them but get the ball to brooks in space via
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: passes Like, I honestly like to see the ball thrown
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: five times a game to him, four times a game
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: to him. And it doesn't require Bryce to force it. Like,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't want everybody to think I want
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: to go air Brycey here. You know, I just want
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: them to up the downfield passing a bit because it
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: was so efficient last year. But in terms of getting
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the ball in Brooks' hands in space, Like, I want
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: to see a bunch of that, man. I really do.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: I think getting the ball in space to a number
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: of guys would benefit them, whether it's Brooks. Agree a
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: thousand percent. Jimmy Horn Jr., let him in space. Let
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: him do something. We've got to find a way to
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: use him. We've talked for years. He's got to get
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: the ball and catch it. But can you get Lee
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Gett in space and let him be that physical guy
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: to run some people over? So I think any of
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: these guys, all different brands of player, but all those
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: guys in space can do some things.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: We just need to see more of that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Lee Gett also needs to actually get himself in space more.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Separation isn't exactly his middle name.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: And not have your mind in space and get your
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: feet in bounds.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Panther Finney, you are an acclaimed play caller on both
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Madden and the college football video game, sir. What have
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you not heard us say yet that you'd like to
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: see Idzik do this year?
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: This might be a first in the history of the show.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: I think y'all covered everything. You mentioned the mobile pocket.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: That's not possible.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: I really am a big fan of that. I want
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Bryce on the move. I want Bryce on the edge.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Bone mentioned the up-tempo. Mac, they don't get to snap
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: the ball with 20, 25 seconds on the play clock.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: But just get on top of the ball and give
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: Bryce a lot more time at the line of scrimmage
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: to dissect the defense. You know, you have until 15
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: seconds until, you know, the clock or the communication in
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: his headset goes away. Just get him on top of
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: the ball more. Let his brain be able to be
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: more accessible. I thought under Canals we broke the huddle
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: way too late. We're breaking the huddle 10, 15 seconds.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: That's not enough time for him to dissect the defense.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: I want the ball in Brooks' hands. The other thing is,
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: and I think this will happen because they did it
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: in the preseason, move for a round. Put T-Mac in
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: multiple different spots and figure out who can cover him,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: who can't. and scheme him the hell up. I want
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: him on linebackers. I want him running crossing routes. I
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: want you to take advantage of your best passing weapons
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: in ways that we didn't do consistently last year with Dave.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, T-Mac was in the slot 16% of the time.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? So I think that number
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: can go up. A lot of people are saying, 13
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: personnel with three tight ends. That's been a buzzword, a
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: catchphrase with all our tight ends. They went from basically 0.2%
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in 2024 to 8% last year. I would think that
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: number can probably grow a little bit. I love the
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: way Bone Fitty says we covered everything and proceeds to
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: give us four different things.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: He got on the whiteboard there. That was good. Way
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: to do it, baby. Way to do it, baby. What
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: old John Gruden like? I enjoyed that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: The point about getting to the line fast, I'm not
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: even worried about that. You saw it in the preseason.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: You saw the operation a lot more smooth when you
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: didn't have your head coach calling the plays. It was
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: a guy that's just, his sole job, Bone, is to
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: be ready. Next play. I'm thinking two plays down the road.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: You saw that change. Hell, and you saw it, Bone,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: in how fluid... The two-minute drives were. I know it's
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: only preseason. Maybe there's a danger in drawing two-mate conclusions.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: But the two-minute drives looked exponentially better than some. Like,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I won't say at the end of the game because
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Bryce pulled it off at the end of the game.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: But how about those end-of-second-quarter two-minute drives where it felt
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: like Dave Canales is afraid to give the ball back
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: to the other team?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So he's trying to, like, not go fast. We would
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: sit on the ball. But also, like....
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: I felt like every two-minute dry bone was to kick
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: a field goal with zero seconds left from about 50 yards.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Because I don't want to give the ball back to
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: the other team. And I feel like that could change.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Siri, text Dan Morgan. Okay, I'm going to see if
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: he's listening to our ideas or not back right now.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: I think we just completely fixed the entire offense during
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: this segment, right? Then Dan Morgan talking to Alex, hey,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Mac and Bone, they have all these ideas. Have you
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: thought about getting guys in space? Has any of this
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: stuff ever occurred to Brad? Have you thought about throwing
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: the ball to Jonathan Brooks?
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: The funniest thing is we do act like Brad Inzik
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: has never thought of any of this stuff.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: What do you think people that play the game or
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: coach the game, like I know Greg Olson normally listens
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: in the 7 o'clock hour. They ought to be thinking–
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: Here go these idiots again.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Acting like they know ball. Throw the ball to Brooks
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: out of the backfield. There we go. Revolutionary, fellas. Oh, man.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Maybe we're trying to throw some stuff out there to
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: throw the Bears off the scent a little bit, too.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Maybe the Bears are listening to us right now. Is
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: that what we're going for? I didn't even realize we
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: were going for that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I think the Bears, if they were smart, would listen
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: and realize they ain't going to do any of the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: stuff we asked for.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: When we come back, Matt, we're going to turn our
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: attention back to college football. Mike Chaudron has a new
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: book out about the chaos of college football. He's an
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: expert on buyouts, NIL, all the backroom dealings. That goes
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: on in college athletics. He's going to tell us about
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: some stuff when we come back. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: With the Carolina Panthers, then it's happening with Sports Radio
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: 92.7 WFNZ.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: Just having different body types, Mitch Evans, Tommy, JT, Felipe,
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Dan and I both felt that each guy had something
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: unique that they bring to our team and felt like
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: it was a position we wanted to keep together.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: It's becoming a tight and heavy league now. And so
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: having us being able to do so many jobs, it's
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: really fun and it's exciting for this offense. I know
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Coach Canales has a plan for each and every one
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of those guys, what he does with them on game day.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: You know, it's yet to be seen.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: But right now we feel good about it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: When it's happening in sports. And it's happening in Charlotte.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: It's happening here on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.

• 17:40
  Speaker 3: the couch, and snacking, and doing it with Daisy French
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Onion Dip. I love it because it goes with everything.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: If I'm eating wings, I'm eating chips. If you're eating veggies,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Daisy French Onion Dip is beautiful for it.
• 17:51

  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. It feels good, baby, to have
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: a Panther game week upon us. We're back to acting
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: like we know ball about. I know exactly how we
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: can score 40 points every week.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Who are you trying to play, pal?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Don't play me.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: Our analysis shifted to Vegas lines now. Because I know ball.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: impactful we are on these things how.

• 19:33
  Speaker 3: o'clock again we're gonna get back into it our what
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: the bleep segment of things that people do and say
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: that makes us say what the bleep and we got.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: A lot of nudity involved in mind today fyi Not you.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: It's not you. It's the stories. No, no, the stories. Okay, good, good.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: That's coming up at 745.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: But right now, we've got to talk about the state
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: of college football with our next guest who has a
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: book out there called... Agent Confidential. It's an insider's guide
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: to the business of college football. And my God, there's
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: so much business going on in college football. He is
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Mike Sheldron, and he joins us here on the Mac
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: and Bone show to talk about the wild and wacky
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: state of college football right now.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Mike, we appreciate you coming on, man. How you doing?
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, guys. It's really a joy to be
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: on with you guys. So greetings from the mountain over
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: in Northeast Tennessee.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: There you go, man. There you go.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Our producer, Fitty, very impressed with you off the air,
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: said this guy's an all-time gentleman already.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. There you go, man. There you go.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: The bar must not be very high, guys.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: I didn't want to say that. It's really not, but
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: it was a good couple in the last fight.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: So, Mike, I mean, this sport has changed so much
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: with NIL and the portal. I still feel like, in
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: a weird way, it has helped college football's on-field product
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: because I do feel like it's balanced the talent out
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: to where I do feel like things are more unpredictable.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, what do you think about the overall effects
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: of the NIL-Portal combination?
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: It's just really interesting, guys. And so the points that
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: I've been making is, number one, it's still the sport
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: that we love.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: We've got the rivalries.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: We've got the pageantry. We've got everything that is so
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: great about college football. But behind the curtain, it's changed.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, guys, it's a $ 15 billion a year business.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: It definitely has changed. If you had to pinpoint it
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: down to one thing that plagues this sport the most
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: right now, there's a million problems. But what do you think, Mike,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: the biggest issue right now is with the sport that
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: if it's not fixed, it could ultimately hurt the bottom
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: line for college football?
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Guys, everything leads up to the lack of governance. There
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: is nobody in control of this sport.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: You've got the courts.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: You've got Congress. You've got conferences, super conferences.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: There is no governance.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Until we have that in place, we're going to continue
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: to have the utter chaos that is now.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Do you think there is— I' m almost laughing as I ask
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: this question, Mike— but do you think Washington, D.C., is the
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: way to go lord knows the the powers that be
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: in the sport have pushed for that um the protect
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: college sports act we thought might go for a vote
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: and then it didn't and they went on recess like
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: do you ultimately think dc will get it done or
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: or are you skeptical of.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: That I'm extremely skeptical of that. There's no way that
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: that bill gets through. And then if it did get
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: through Congress, I mean through the Senate, there's no way
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: it gets through the House with the AFL-CIO and the
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: black congressional caucus against it. Congress is not the answer,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: you guys. It's going to have to be some sort
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: of self-governance, whatever that looks like.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Who or what do you think is the biggest reason
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: why college athletics landed here? Do you pinpoint– to one
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: specific area? Is it one conference? How did they land
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: in this spot specifically, do you think, Mike?
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: I think it really came down to the fact that
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: it just is such a large business. When you've got
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: this much money involved, that's where it started. So you
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: started with, first of all, coaches leaving suddenly with massive buyouts.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Then you've got NIL and the portal just breaking time.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I think that's really what you could look back and
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: point to as to why we're here now.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: So is it, Mike, like you talk about governance, right?
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: And clearly that's the point. I mean, there are no rules,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: it feels like, at all. Is it each conference doing
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: it themselves? I mean, I've long thought this sport could
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: use a dang commissioner.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I know many other people have thought that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: But good luck getting everybody to agree on who it
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: should be.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just, like, where does the governance come from?
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: You know, that's a great question, guys. I've said recently
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: that college football is the only billion dollar business where
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: nobody can tell you who the CEO is.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: We need a commissioner.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: And what I ultimately believe will happen is I think
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: we are headed for some sort of super conference that
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: then will create their own governance and take their ball
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: and go home, be it 48 or 60 teams.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, we might get to a point where Pat
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: McAfee is a commissioner of college football. That could be
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: where we're headed eventually down the line.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: That would be interesting, that's for sure. You know, everybody
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: points towards Saban, but, you know, he owns par dealerships
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: now and he's owning SPN. He's not going to do it. But,
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: you know, I think that Tony Petitti or Greg Sankey
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: are certainly the people that would rise to the top there,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: particularly Petitti.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: One interesting thing that you do on the Agent Confidential podcast,
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: wherever podcasts are found, you do something called the Buyout
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Island Index, a weekly ranking of the college football coaches
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: facing the most pressure, tracking who's moving up, who's moving down.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: And I think in the ACC, we have a couple people.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Mike Norvell's been living on Buyout Island for a while now.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: But Dabo Sweeney, what's the buyout situation for him if
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Clemson decided that it was time?
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: We do have a new index releasing today. So, yes,
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: Dabo will be making an appearance on that. And, you know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: looking at Dabo's contract is pretty interesting. His buyout after
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: the season is $ 60 million. But if they fire him
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: during the season, it's $ 57 million.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: That cracks me up.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: It's unreal. But, you know, I think Dabo has earned
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: the right to leave on his own terms because of
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: his legacy. But, guys, the game is passing by. Yeah.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: It's, it's, it's one of those where it's like, I
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: don't know if they are going to pay that money
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: and I don't know if they want to just run
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: him the heck out, but I don't think they'd be
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: mad if he kind of came to the conclusion himself
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: that this is not for me. The Norvell thing, like what,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: so what happens with Norvell? I mean, can Florida stand,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's over $ 50 million buyout.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: And how are they going to afford that if they
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: can't even afford to keep the lights on at the stadium?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Travis and I were texting last night doing DMs on X,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: and I was kind of saying the same thing. Look,
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Florida State's athletic budget is $ 480 million in the red, guys. So,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, another $ 50 million just takes it to over
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: half a billion. But I think the Natives are restless
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: enough at Florida State that Norvell's waiting for the boat
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: to pull up to the ferry to buy out Ireland.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: He's probably the first one gone this year.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Is there anybody else on that list to monitor that
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: you're seeing right now with their buyout situations?
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: You know, I think, you know, Bill Belichick made a
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: very high appearance on the buyout island index a couple
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: of weeks ago and righted it a little bit. But
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: that's still just a train wreck. I mean, I was
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: listening to everything you guys are talking about it today.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: So I think he's very high up there. And then
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Shane Beamer in South Carolina, he's going to need to
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: perform this year.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh, I hit close to home there, Mike. Bo, you
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: are not wanting your guy.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: After a 57-0 win, Bo, you didn't want your guy
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: to be named.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I was nodding about Dabo and Belichick and Norval. My
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: own guy got brought up in there.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Hey, look, there's nothing better than a game in Columbia.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: I watched them beat my Crimson Tide in 2010 like
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: a drum. So it's a great environment. But, you know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: this should be the year in Columbia. I don't pick games, but, boy,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: he's going to have to deliver.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: All right, man. I don't disagree.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's a very interesting conversation. Your book covers it.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: You've got a podcast that covers it as well, Aging Confidential.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Let everybody know where to find. You've got Buyout Island,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: which I'm very intrigued by now.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: I need to check this out weekly. We don't want
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: to be there, though. We don't want to be on
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Buyout Island.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Although, if they paid us to not work, why do
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: I think we wouldn't get $ 50 million? Yeah.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: It's a great place to be when the numbers.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Are big enough, guys. That's true. Our numbers wouldn't be
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: very big.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: My wife would say, get off the island and go
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: find a new job. My buyout's $ 23. All right, so
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: tell everybody where to get all your content, where to
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: find everything.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Confidential.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: The book is on Amazon.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: You can get it in Kindle, paperback, or on Audible,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: which I did myself. So you find it there. And
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: then on all the social media channels, faux Jimmy Sexton
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: is the handle. And you can get my podcast. I'm
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: on X a lot, Facebook, IG, the whole thing. We're
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: just having a blast with all of this, you guys.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: All right, man. Best of luck to it. We appreciate
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: you hanging out with us, man. Thanks so much.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Loved it, guys.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much for having me.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Mike.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Mike Sheldren wrote a book from an agent's perspective of
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: college sports and calls himself faux Jimmy Sexton on Twitter.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: That's a funny dude. For a guy that wrote a
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: book about such a serious subject, he's pretty lighthearted.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, he likes that phone. I like it. Also,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: he's a listener to the Mac and Mojo. He started
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: that yesterday. Okay, you reeled him in.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: If we could just get new listeners by booking them
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: on the show, we might surge, man.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: That might be big for us.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Gator Rube says Dabo got passed by at age 56.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Crying emoji.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: It is a weird spot for Dabo because of all
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: his success, Mac. He's in that legend status of if
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: they wanted to move on, how do they do it
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: respectfully without having to— like embarrass him or fire a
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: legend but normally that happens with guys that are older
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: like bobby bowden they couldn't figure out how to get
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: rid of him but well that's not even that.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Old but that's what rube is is saying here this
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: dude's a 56 year old coach That's not an old coach.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: You think people that are young in their professions are
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: capable of improvising with the times. And he has not
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: been able to do so. It's like, you're right. Normally,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: that's a thing of a coach who's 70-something years old.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: How do we move on from this guy that's won
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: us titles without disrespecting his legacy? But Dabo shouldn't be
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: in the old man, how do we disrespect his legacy category?
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Why has he not been able? He's just so stubborn, right?
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: He's just a stubborn dude, strong-willed, believes there's one way
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: to do things. And I will say this. He did
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: hit the portal for 11 players. That clearly is the most...
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: And he clearly is changing the approach, but Lane Kiffin
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: went out there and it was a change in regimes
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: and all that, but he brought in 40 something players.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: It also needs to be mentioned too, that Lane Kiffin
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: had damn near $ 50 million at his disposal. I'm pretty
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: sure Clemson is not the kings. I'm not saying they
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: don't have any money, Bone, but I'm pretty sure Clemson's
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: not the kings of the NIL world either.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: Speaking of strong-willed, stubborn men, Mac, we're now going to
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: go to Fiddy Marlow, who a texter said is not
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: on buyout island, is on buy one, get one free island.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: That's a fast food joke, I assume.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Bogo! Here goes Fiddy Marlow with an update. People have
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: been waiting for this one. All right, Fit.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: People are wanting a date update. I guess people weren't
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: listening yesterday. You know, we're off.
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I'm into that.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: All right, guys, this update brought to you by the
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: H & S Roofing and Gutter Company. Do not wait
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: for a small problem to become a big one. If
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: you see an issue with your roof or your gutters,
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: give them a call. They'll give you a free estimate.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: That phone number is 704-334-9934.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: 704-334-9934.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: 704-334-9934.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: You may have been asleep when the news happened when
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: it was reported last night. We have a new highest
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: paid corner in the National Football League. The Patriots agreed
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: to terms on a four-year $ 135 million extension with Christian Gonzalez.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: With a contract with $ 102 million guaranteed, this tops Devin
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: Witherspoon's contract a few weeks ago.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: That was four years, 132. There you go. J.C.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Horn now makes $ 9 million per year less than the
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: highest paid corner.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: It's amazing how quickly you can go from highest paid
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: to middle of the pack in that sport.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: That's the thing about extensions.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: We all lose our mind, but before you know it,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of these deals, like the Derrick Brown deal,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: With some of the deals the big fellas are getting,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: that one looks great.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Fitty, I will just ask you this.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: The number one question we're getting about your Saturday night
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: third date with your sweetie is, did you end up dancing?
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I did not. There you go. That worked out good
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: I showed her the video that we recorded on Friday.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, jeez.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: And she was utterly amused by it. Okay, good.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: Not just amused, but utterly amused. She got a good
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: sense of humor. Different level of amusement. She couldn't get
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: over the helmet.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: That was Bone's idea.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: But why did you want him to wear a helmet to, like,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: take dance class lessons for me?
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: Because it's like wearing a guardian cap during practice. With
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: the way your arms flail, we couldn't have our guy
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: getting concussed before his date. So that was Phineas Guardian.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I'll allow it. I said it on the video. I
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: said Phineas wearing a guardian cap here. Good answer.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: All right, we come back.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: It's What the Bleep, stories in sports and in life
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: that make us say what the bleep. Florida man, he
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: liked to get naked last week.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I'll explain. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ, Mack and Bone with you. SMU
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: kicked a late field goal, and I mean late, last night.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: It must have been damn near 1 o'clock when it ended.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I woke up, Bone, and watched SMU won 27-24, by
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: the way. They finally played after an hour and 40-minute
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: delay because of a power outage at Joe Campbell. You
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: said you stayed up until the bitter end. I went
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: to bed at halftime, woke up, watched the second half
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: in a quick fashion.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: What time did it end?
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: Right around, right around, like, 12.55, 1 a.m. I kind
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: of lost track a little bit there.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: That's crazy, man.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: I stayed up, Matt, because we've come too far with injunctions.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: With all the chaos of college football, I said to myself, Self,
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: you beg for these moments. I wasn't going to miss
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: the end of that game. I said, we've come too far.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Later on in the season, once we get further in,
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: I might say, all right, time for bed. But I
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: wasn't missing.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: That last night. I wasn't going to miss it either.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: We have made a journey here.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: My moment was going to be between 3.30 and 4
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning instead of those hours that you
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: stayed up.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I also was trying to win a parlay, and I
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: needed to see it through. I didn't win it, so.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I basically stayed up for nothing. All right, we'll talk
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Panthers-Bears opener. We're getting psyched about that coming up at
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: 8 o'clock. But right now, let's do some what the
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: bleep stories, sound bites, things that are said, things that
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: are done that make us laugh and make us say
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: what the bleep.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: Well, Matt, we have an 85-year-old Florida woman who is
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: currently locked in a surreal bureaucratic nightmare after the government
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: mistakenly declared her dead two years ago. While she laughed
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: it off at first, she spent the last month bouncing
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: between the Social Security Administration and the IRS, who recently
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: froze her accounts again and demanded she cannot get her
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: money back until she proves she's alive.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: That should be pretty simple. What's the belief? Hey, yo,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I'm right here. They said, yeah, but how.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Do we know you're really alive? What the bleep? Yeah,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I feel like proof of life was right there for him.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: I feel like it was.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Florida man in government, probably not a good idea.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Prove you're alive, lady. I'm right here.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: That's an ugly, ugly combination. Bone, this is a real simple.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Florida State, prove you're alive. This is a real simple.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Nor now.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: I feel like the lights not working is the perfect
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: analogy for Florida State football. Like, they've been powerless for
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: the last three years now. If we turn the lights
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: out and no one sees us get our ass beat,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: did it really happen?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: It really happened. Hey, they put up a fight.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Although, I'm not sure it would have been close if
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: SMU didn't turn it over four times. They were given
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of assistance. SMU got the code red to
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: keep that game closed last night for the ACC. Oh,
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: the ACC needed some good to happen after that embarrassment
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: before the game. I've got a what the bleep story.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: It's very simple. Pat McAfee goes on game day on Saturday.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: The rest of the panel picks Miami to win the ACC.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: And Pat McAfee picks the Tar Heels because of the
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: great Bill Belichick. Listen, I was impressed, Bone, by how
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: clean and solid a lot of the performance was. in
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: ireland and the win but we don't need to go
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: that crazy now what the bleep is pat mcafee doing
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: bo i i don't have the answer is that just
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: a like ah what the hell miami still exists right
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: they didn't they didn't leave the conference hold on i
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: got let's update what you said there miami exists so
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: does smu louisville virginia like i give you 10 other
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: schools that still exist I'm not even sure where they
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: rank in the triangle.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: Mack, a Houston man, Keontae Matlock, was left in absolute
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: shock after his home ring security camera captured a DoorDash
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: driver delivering his Burger King order completely naked. He looked
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: out the... Mac, he was playing video games. He received
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: a phone notification that his meal had arrived. He looked
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: out at the live feed and thought, man, this is weird.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: Why is the.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: DoorDash driver wearing a flesh-colored onesie opened the door. Turns
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: out the man was completely naked with his order. What
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: the bleep we doing? He got a refund for the order,
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: by the way. He didn't want to eat it because
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: it came from a naked man. And then DoorDash and...
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: The local news there in Houston put out stuff that says,
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: what do you do if you have a naked DoorDash driver?
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: They had to put out the protocol for this. I mean,
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: what the bleep? Is that some sort of fetish? I
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: want to deliver another man food naked. What's the plan there?
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Why is that a good idea? And, yeah, I mean,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: first of all, your appetite's gone. You see the wrong
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: dude naked, your appetite's gone. Secondly, like you said, what
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: did that food touch? I mean, there's so many questions
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: that lead to you not wanting to eat the food.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: What the bleep we doing, man? All right, anyway, put
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: your clothes on. Bone, I've got a what the bleep.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Michael Irvin. Michael Irvin, I get the feeling he's been
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: what the bleeped a couple of times before. Michael Irvin
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: talking about Niners owner Jed York who was trying to
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: pay $ 140 to an undercover police officer that he thought
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: was a lady of the night. Michael Irvin says, Jed
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: York's divorced, man. I understand why he did this. Get
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: off his back. And Michael Irvin also went to this defense.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Listen to this one.
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: Everybody's paying for it.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: Everybody's paying for it.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Here's my take. You got a girlfriend?
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: What?
• 39:53
  Speaker 10: You got a girlfriend?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: No, I don't have a girlfriend.
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: You take her out to eat? You paying for it?
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: You pay for it regardless. You buying a gift? Right,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: so what are we doing? You're taking her for food.
• 39:59
  Speaker 10: And then taking her home. Why do we got to
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: embarrass this man for $ 140? He's not... It was $ 140?
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 10: And that's another thing, too. So people think, you're a billionaire.
• 40:10
  Speaker 10: Why don't you go to high-end places? The high-end places
• 40:12
  Speaker 10: get you in trouble all the time. Because whenever... When
• 40:16
  Speaker 10: somebody gets the madam... The madam is going to tell somebody,
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: I want to get out of it. How can I
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: get out of it? Let me give you a name
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: of somebody bigger than me. And she's going to give
• 40:26
  Speaker 10: up those names.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: That is apparently a Twitch streamer named Neon that is
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: interviewing Michael Irvin.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Basically, what he's telling you there is Michael Irvin was
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: one street over when this was going on.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: What the bleep? Mike, you said too much, baby. You
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: said too much. And it sounded way too much like
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: firsthand experience when you talked about the madams.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: You know how, like, Mac, the news channels will bring
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: on experts for various things that happen.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: They'll be.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: you know, a plane thing happens. There'll be an aviation expert.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: They have experts for everything lined up on those channels.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: I did not know, Mac, that Michael Irvin was the
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: expert on this particular category.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: It kind of tracks, though. Does it not kind of track? Mac,
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: we're going to be silly here and not... a criminal
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: nature like Jenny York professional groundskeepers gathered last week in
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: central Europe for the highly anticipated Hungarian grave digging contest.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: Competitors were judged, not just on their sheer speed, but
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: on their precise style, safety compliance, a cleanliness of their
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: manual earth moving skills as the crowds gathered to cheer
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: on and then vote for who had the perfect plot.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Mac, I looked it up here.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: The winners for digging graves were the Clemson Tigers, who
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: did it in Baton Rouge on Saturday night.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: They did it quick, too. I mean, you blinked it.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: They had their own 26-season grave dug. That's cold, Bone.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: That is cold. You enjoyed it, though. Mac, would you...
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: If this popped up on your TV, would you take
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: a whoopsy at the Great Digger Championships?
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: This is going to be on the Ocho next year,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: I have a feeling. They're going to do it down
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: in Rock Hill as part of that Ocho Festival next year. Oh,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: what the bleep are we doing, man? By the way,
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: I keep laughing. They're weird in Central Europe, not us
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: over here. I keep laughing at multiple texts. Multiple people
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: caught that I said, if you see the wrong dude naked,
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: you will lose your appetite. Rev Sean says, ask Mac
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: to clarify. Another one says, Panther Cliff, Mac just insinuated
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: the right guy.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Naked with your food wouldn't be a problem. I'll come
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: to your defense, Mac.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: If Brad Pitt were to show up at my doorstep
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: with my DoorDash delivery and he was in the nude,
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't be offended.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: That's a beautiful man.
