• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: This is my friend Matt. Posh, come on, Posh.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: This is my friend T-Bone.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Let's have some fun.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Do it live.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, multiple in the run game. And that's one thing
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: that I've always appreciated about Ben Johnson's offenses is it's
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: not going to be just this run.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: It's going to be.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Multiple runs out of similar looks. The play passes to
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: match it up, the usage of tight ends and screen
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: game or hiding a guy out in one way, shape,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: or form. So that's been something that I've seen that
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: it's consistent. It's still part of their game. So expecting
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: that part, expecting you know, those wrinkles and really, it
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: really forces you to dial in. Is there anything we
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: can pick up? Is there any tell that can kind
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: of differentiate what's going to happen before the snap?
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: That's Dave Kanellis. Yesterday, it is Monday. Presser, it's game week.
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: He's talking about the upcoming opponent, the Chicago Bears and
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: their offense. And we will be talking a ton about it,
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: about Caleb Williams, how to slow him down, how good
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: their offense is. It's go time, baby. It is go time.
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: And we start, Bone, with a banger of a game.
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: This isn't You know, like the Cleveland Browns coming in
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: or some of the Jets coming in. We've had some. Now, unfortunately,
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: I think we've lost some of these games. No, this
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: team plays in the NFL still. I think we've lost
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: some openers to due to opponents. But this is not, yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: like these opponents where you're like, yeah, you know, it's
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: not sexy. This is sexy. This is glamorous, baby. We
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: had the Raiders one time also, not, you know, within
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: the last decade. This is a sexy matchup based off
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: the team we're playing, the fan base's enthusiasm for the opponent,
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: and the connections with the trade that was made. There's
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: a lot of storylines involved in this one. Big time,
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: big time. And to attach last segment to this segment,
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: if this matchup bone was a delivery driver, it would
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: be Brad Pitt. It would be Finney's Brad Pitt delivering
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: your food in the buff, which he continued to talk
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: about during the break, by the way.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Also, Buckeye Dave said that he would not take the
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: food if the three of us delivered the food naked.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: I said, Buckeye Dave, I'm sure you're not a god yourself.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: He sent in a photo. Fitty sniffed it out. Found
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: out it's AI. Fitty, how did you know immediately that
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: that was not really Buckeye Dave?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Because there's not a Buckeye fan that looks that good.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: And to be fair, I must say that every Buckeye
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: fan looks like Nick Wilson because he was from Ohio.
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: And if we're just basing Nick and attractiveness and what
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: it equates for Ohioans, not a good thing.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I love Nick Wilson. I miss Big Daddy.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: You don't want to see him with your food in
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: the buff. City just took out the entire state of Ohio.
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: Hey, Jim Zoki. Jim Zoki's an Ohio State fan. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: Jim Zoki has aged like a fine wine.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: All right, let's refocus here because we don't need to
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: bring the weirdness of last segment totally back here to
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: infiltrate this segment. Let's talk about the Panthers opener. A
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: couple of notes. Jonathan Brooks still working on the side
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: with trainers yesterday. There was video of him running, but...
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Still not getting out there and practicing. So Dave Canales
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: said last week it's general soreness. He keeps saying, hey,
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: we got to put an injury report out on Wednesday.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: We'll talk about it then. We also apparently didn't have
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Pat Jones at practice, too, which is a little concerning.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: So we'll get the news tomorrow on those guys. Bone Man,
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: I want this damn Bears game so badly. I can't
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: stand their fans ever since the Bryce trade. They have
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: been condescending. They're media members in Chicago. I mean, every
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: damn time I do a Chicago radio show, they've got
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: this condescending attitude. This was before they went to the
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: playoffs last year. Like compared to us, they're God's gift
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: to football. And it drives me crazy. And I want
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: I'm curious with y'all. Do y'all it seems like the
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Panthers Bears fan rivalry online is a thing.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Do you guys.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: Feel this disdain for the Bears? I also think they're
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: so overhyped, too, Bone, nationally. Like, they're just a national
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: team that the national media loves. And, like, when Justin
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Fields was there, they tried to make Fields happen. Like,
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: they tried to make him out to be a thing,
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: and it was not a thing. It never was a thing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: And I just feel like they're always overregarded. I said
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: it last week. I think they're a team that takes
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: a step back. I'm not saying they couldn't come in
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: here and beat us. But I think they're a team
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: that takes a little bit of a step back than
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: where they were at last year. Do you have these
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: feelings and these emotions towards the Bears?
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Because they're talked about in ways and within the Chicago media,
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: like they've arrived. Like they're a prime contender in the NFC. Look,
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: they're a lot better. They're good. I'm not taking that
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: away from them. But they get talked about, Matt, like
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: they're on like a Ram Seattle level.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And you look at the numbers and how they won. Yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: they're good.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: And it's not shocking that the Panthers lose their underdogs.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: But they were 29th in defense last year, total defense.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: They were 22nd in pass defense, 27th against the run,
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: 23rd in points allowed, 22nd in sacks. What they do
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: well and what they did last year is they took
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: the ball away 33 times.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: They were number one in turnovers.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: But sometimes you can force turnovers, and sometimes things just
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: happen where you end up with a turnover. The other
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: team throws it right to you. It's no guarantee that
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: you're going to do that again. So I do believe
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: that the Bears fans and the Bears media is way
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: ahead of schedule, especially defensively, from who they are. And also,
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: I'm not really threatened necessarily. by their wideouts. They're tight end,
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: I am. But there's no DJ Moore there.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: DJ Moore's a loss, man. They're putting a lot of
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: trust in the young guys. If you want exhibit A, Bone,
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: into how Bears fans talk about the Panthers, I submit
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: you Danny Parkins, who is now national media on FS1,
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: but he's a Bears fan. It actually, one of the
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: shows I would go on, Bone, is his show in Chicago,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: where they would talk down to me like we're in
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: the UFL and and they have won four straight super bowls.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Listen to listen to Danny Parkins. Talk about this, his
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: point of view on this matchup and on the whole
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: Bryce young trade and all that stuff that makes bears
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: fans hoity toity of when they talk to us.
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: Who would I want to be for the next five years? Uh,
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: I think that most Panthers fans, I think Bryce young's parents, uh,
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: might say that they'd rather be the bears than the Panthers. Like,
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: That is still one of the all-time great heists in
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: the history of sports. And Bryce Young has been better
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: the last 20 games than he was the first 20 games.
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: They scored 31 against the Rams in a losing effort.
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: Bryce Young, I think he had 264 yards and one
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: touchdown out of that 31 points. Bryce Young is a
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: limited quarterback. Caleb Williams is limitless. There's really no debate.
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: on which franchise is in a better position long-term. You're
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: on the road. It's week one. The Bears have problems
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: on defense. Sure, anything could happen, but the Bears are
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: the much, much, much healthier franchise.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, that seems a little bit strong there.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: K.O.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Williams still has a way to go, too, man. What
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: did he say? He's limitless? How about the limit on
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: his completion percentage? Like, he was 58% completions last year. Like,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: let's not act like, yeah, to your point, let's not
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: act like he's a perfect quarterback. Listen, I don't dispute, Bone,
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: that they're ahead of us. You can't deny that. They
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: won their playoff game last year. They ended up with
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: double-digit wins. We had eight. We got in because we
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: were in the NFC South in large part. So I'm
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: not going to deny that they are ahead of us.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: It's the way they talk like they're in the penthouse bone.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: We're all the way down here in the outhouse. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: just don't think they've earned having that attitude. And it
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: is the Bryce trade. It's all they got in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Bryce trade. That makes them feel that way. I get that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: It's things like this that annoy me here. is now
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: there's Panther fans that are agreeing with some of the
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: Chicago media. Panther fan here says, Bo, don't give our
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: stats from last year. We're not good either. Well, I
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: mentioned Bears were 29th in total defense. We were 16th.
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: So there is a big difference there between 16th and
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: 29th in total defense. And every number I gave you,
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: the Panthers' pass defense, 15. Points allowed, 15. So there's
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: your stats. Better in all those numbers than what I
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: gave you for the Bears. So put that in your
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: pipe and smoke on it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: This texter says, you guys can't deny their offense is scary. Yeah, listen,
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: I wanted Ben Johnson to be our head coach. And
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: he thought better of it. I want him to be
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: our head. I want him to be our head coach.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Their offense, they got a running game. They got two backs.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Apparently they're healthy now. They got a tight end combination.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: And we know tight ends have historically beat it. Like,
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: I'm not on here telling you, Bone, that this is
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: some horrible team or whatever.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: It's just I'm just.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Talking about kind of the national media hype they get,
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: the way their fans act. is kind of what I'm
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: talking about. I also wanted to talk, too, about another
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: reason why I want this win, Boney, and it's because
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: I am so over the way the national media has
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: written about us and talked about us this season. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: can't handle the rankings in the list anymore. Thank God
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: it's week one. Just yesterday alone, Bone, I would say
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: this weekend and yesterday alone, I'm scanning through all these
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: things that have rankings and stuff like that. CBS picked
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: the Panthers to finish last in the division 6-11. ESPN's
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: FPI gives us a 13% chance to win the division.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: That is half of the chance that they give the
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Falcons to win the division. They say the Athletic did
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: a fan thing, Bone, where they do a hopometer on
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: the Athletic, and they get fan feedback, and based on
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: what percentage of your fans are optimistic, they rank the
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: fan bases. We rank 22nd in that. A team, Bone,
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: that had our best year last year in a decade.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: and pushed the Rams and damn near pulled the upset off.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: And only 62% of our fans are positive. It's like
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Austin Mock from The Athletic did a QB formula thing.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: He loves the formulas. And he did a QB index.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: Bryce Young is 29th. I want the national media to
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: have to talk about us beating their darlings on Sunday.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: I want it so bad, man. Did you see, Mac,
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: the bold prediction article on ESPN.com? I don't think you
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: mentioned this in your breakdown there. Did you see the
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Seth Walder Panther bold prediction? No, no. He just won, like,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: a whole lead-wide boldies. Panthers will start the season 0-7.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: With the Browns and the Falcons?
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: That's been Seth Walters. Falcons and Browns weeks two and
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: week three? That's been Seth Walters' whole thing about the
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: quarterback class next year, right? He's got a whole thing
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: up there about what quarterbacks the Panthers will target in
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: the draft.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, and seven. So we're going to lose to Atlanta
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and Cleveland. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Get out of here.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: And that's what I can't take. The Bears are the
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: greatest team ever. We are the worst team ever. That's
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: the way, yes, I'm biased. That's the way it feels
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: to me. Fitty, you threw the challenge flag, Fitty, about
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: two series ago. We just kept running up and down
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: the field.
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: You should turn the white side to get our attention, Fitty.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: What are you, what did you want to chime in with, Fitt?
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: You know, when it comes to big mouth Danny, if
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: you want to feel good about having Caleb Williams, fine.
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: You want to feel good about having Ben Johnson, fine.
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: You know what I feel good about, Mac, as a
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: Carolina Panther fan? Look at my division. Look at my
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: path to being in the playoffs on a much more
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: consistent basis. They might be a better football team. They
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: might have a better quarterback than we do.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That division's rough, man.
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: But who has a much more clear path on a year-in, year-out.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Basis to have a chance to compete for championships? That's
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: the Panthers.
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: I'd much rather be in that position than in a
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: position where you have to win 10, 11 games, more
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: likely on a year-in, year-out basis, just to qualify maybe
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: as a wild-card spot to get to the playoffs.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I think that should be taken into account here.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I like that. Finney's like, hey, we got the easier path, baby. Nanny, nanny, boo-boo.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: We got the easier path.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: It's like Tom Haverford said in Parks and Rec. A
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: lot of people like to take the high road. He
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: likes to travel on the low road. Less traffic. It's
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: like 77 on Labor Day yesterday.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: It was beautiful.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: We now have people sending in bold predictions. Another one,
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Buckeye Dave thinks that. Fitty will be a Cowboy fan again. Oh,
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: how dare you? Are we really still doing this?
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: How dare you?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, honestly.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't say it. Bug-Eye Dave. How dare you? You
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: better read it, though. Be mad at Bug-Eye Dave. Oh, well,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: let's see.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: We have to read a certain amount of text per
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: show to hit our quota. Panther at Panther. Adam says,
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: if we win, they will say what's wrong with the bears.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: That is a good point though. The lead story on
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: sports center will not be about the pay or get
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: up and all those shows. It won't be about us.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: Can Caleb Williams still be the guy for the bear?
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: It'll be stuff like that. I think that's a fair point.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Let's see what else is going on here. I would
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: say our texts are about 65% positive. There is this
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: air of negativity that is on our text line. Some
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: of it, Bone, I think is genuine, right? Like concern
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: for where the offense is at, concern, you know, if
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Freeling will be okay against Montez Sweat and stuff like that,
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: or offensive slow starts. I think it's also a lot
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: of the usual suspects that are just like, hey, I
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: can send a text in and make Mac mad.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Make Bone angry. I can
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: get a text for it and get Bone angry.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Guess what? You're not getting me angry today. So I
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: ain't going to read those right now. Old granddad from
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Gadsden County, typical Bears propaganda. They are the Bears, and
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: we're just the little old Panthers. That's why I listen
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: to you guys and at the National Media. Thank you, Granddad.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: Thank you for that. This texter says, Mac, you have
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: to admit we're not favored to win this game for
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: a reason. The Bears are and should be seen as
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: the better team.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, I might be willing to give them that,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: even if I think, Bone, their win total could come
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: down a little bit this year. I might be willing
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: to give them that, but they're not without flaws. And
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: that's the thing, Bone, is you brought up all the
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: defensive numbers. Their defense is gettable. Now, I think one
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: of the things that has Panther fans negative is I
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: think we have seen so many atrocious starts for the
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: offense early in the season that I think it worries us. Like,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: can we take advantage of their bad defense? The Panthers
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: have scored in every one of Bryce Young's season openers.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: They have scored 10 points in every game. And Bryce
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Young has thrown two interceptions in every game. This offense
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: bone has to start faster because I'm not sure you're
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: completely shutting down the bears offense. I love our defense
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: this year bone, but I'm not sure you're holding them
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: to like 16.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: You know, that sounded like your Clemson stats yesterday, opening
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: the opening their season, right?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: It's the 10 point stat is very similar. Although they
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: threw in a three and a six, they did seven.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: They threw in a couple other ones, but yeah, like
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: we have that. We have lost our last four openers.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: We have scored 10 points in our last three openers.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: It's something, Bone, that, like, we need to see change
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: for our own sanity on Sunday. So I get it
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: if fans are, like, fearing. They're scarred by these ugly
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: offensive starts.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: We have an affordable sighting in Windows text from Amit
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: who says, That's loser talk, Fitty. I hope the Bears
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: stations don't hear that. It's embarrassing. Amit always acts like
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: the radio stations are playing each other.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Like, like... Like we're deciding the games here.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: We just gave them bulletin board material.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: I'm sure Ben Johnson's listening to Charlotte radio for motivational.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: Also, I know we're up against it. Look at how
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: many of the bears wins last year. We're like in dramatic,
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: in real dramatic fashion. That would make you believe it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: If people think the Panthers are set up to regress.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: Wouldn't you think that the luck would turn against Chicago
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: after so much luck went their way last year?
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: That's the turnover stats. That's one that the analytics folks say, oh,
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: that often doesn't duplicate. If you force all these turnovers,
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: you can't count on them the next year. The other
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: one is the close games, the comebacks, the way they
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: pulled those out. Now, in fairness, we won a bunch
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: of close games, too.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: But we'll see you on Sunday, man. I can't wait
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: I just can't stress enough how much I want.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: This damn game on Sunday, Bone. God, I need it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: We want Adam Gold on the show next, and he
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: will be here. We're going to talk about the latest
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: involving the Heels, ACC football, and, of course, his prediction
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: for Panthers-Bears week one.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ. Oh, God. It's so week one, baby.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: It is so week one.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Finney and I trying to counterpoint negative Panther fans. I
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: just don't get it, man. We had the best season
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: bone in nine years last year. Had a moment at
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: the bank that I will never forget. Yeah, we didn't
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: win it, but holy crap, the way we pushed the Rams,
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: a team we beat in the regular season.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: How do you, we add Lloyd, we add Phillips.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: How are you not coming into this season feeling like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: can we take another step? We've taken steps each year
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: under Canales. Can we take another one? Instead, we got
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: these fans out there like a bunch of damn stick
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: in the mud Eeyores.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: It's like, y'all, I keep, if you had that attitude
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: during the rule era, during Frank Reich, during the early
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: years of David Tepper, that's the appropriate attitude. I just
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: don't get why you have yourself back to this humdrum, negative, self-sadness,
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: self-pitying crap.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: Some of these texters make Eeyore seem like Richard Simmons.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: By the way, I believe all— God, we got to
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: fire you up this week, fools!
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: Were all three of us mad at a different texter
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: during the break in our own little world?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Matt got somebody over there. Finney was.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Finney and I double teamed this guy. In the Battle Royal,
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: Finney had, oh, you two were on the same guy. Yeah,
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Finney was the safety over the top. I pressed him,
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: and then Finney came over the top and said, no,
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: you don't, sir.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: I heard both you guys typing your keyboards hard. I
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: didn't know what was going on.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: I want to fight this guy in a parking lot
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: at a bank.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I want to forgive him the address and beat this
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: dude's ass.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't know how to do all that now.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm so, I'm.
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: Tired of, we backed our way into the playoffs. No
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: one 10 years from now is going to remember that
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: the record shows that the 2025 Panthers made the playoffs.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: That's all. that matters.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: And oh, by the way, the roster today, better than
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: the one that lost to the Rams in the playoffs
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: back in January.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: It's okay.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: To be excited as a sports fan.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Go off, King. Is it a defense mechanism? Anyway, we'll talk.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: We got all week to try to analyze, psychoanalyze our
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: fellow Panther fans here in the Queen City.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I need to step outside for a minute. We got
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: all week to do this.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it's a self-defense, like a defense mechanism.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: I don't know what it is. Anyway, we'll talk through
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: it this week here. We will try to get you
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: all fired up for the game. Let's bring in Adam
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Gold right now, who just wants to deal with his
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: storylines in the triangle bone, like investigations into football programs.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Not a fan base that is worried about the season
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: after winning the division. Adam Gold joins us, 99.9 The
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Fan in Raleigh. And, of course, weeknights here on WFNZ
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: at 7 o'clock.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Goldie, how you feeling, man? What's going on?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I am feeling well. I totally understand sitting out wanting
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to talk college football. Completely get that.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: We're 1-0, Dodie. We're the best team in the triangle. Whoa, easy.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Well, you're not. Duke is better, but still. Because they're
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: also 1-0. And by the way, 35 carries for Nate Shepard.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: That's child abuse.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: They work at him early, man. They got a bunch
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: more games to go against tougher teams. That was interesting.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: That was just nutty. I sort of get what you
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: guys are saying about the Panthers, though. Like there's an
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: unusual amount of negativity around a team that I think
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the reason for that is the preseason didn't go well.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: The offense in the preseason.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Didn't go well, and I didn't think the defense looked
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: all that good. I think the defense will be better,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: but there's a lot of things that I didn't like
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: about the preseason, but it's just the preseason. I want
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: to see it during the regular season before I make
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: a judgment on it. So I'm sort of like, I'll
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: wait and see what I see first before I lose
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: my mind.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I think that's fair.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that offensive tackle concerns aren't fair.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're missing our two starters. From last year's team?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's the.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Interior of the offensive line that's the real problem for me.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Interior? You're not talking about the guards, are you? So
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: you're talking about Fortner?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Well, they've got to be– those two dudes, they weren't
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: really healthy in the preseason. Those two dudes have got
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to stay healthy. If they don't, it's over. Their offense
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: will suck. If Hunt and Lewis do not remain healthy,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: their offense will suck.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: Goldie, I'm glad to see you aren't knee-jerk reacting, though.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean? You're angry about injuries that
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: haven't even occurred yet. Anyway, Hunt's health. Damian Lewis has
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: missed like one game a year pretty much for like
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: five games straight. I'll take that. That's pretty solid. Robert
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Hunt is the one whose health I worry about. But Goldie,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: we're not here to talk about our defending division champs.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: We're here to talk about. the Chapel Hill off the
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: field train wreck, sir.
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: That's what we're, that's what we're here to talk about.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: What do you think about this WRAL piece that they
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: put out at the end of last week, kind of
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: detailing where the investigation is headed? Like, do you feel,
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: and I hate it for Tar Heel fans because they
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: finally get some momentum with the win in Ireland. And
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: now here's another off the field thing. Although I do
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: think Lombardi resigning is good news for the program, but like,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: does this, does this investigation make you think like, Oh, no, this, like,
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: even if Belichick wins a few games, this could chase
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: him out of there?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Look, I think if they play reasonably well, I think
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: they'll come back for year three. I think there's a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: lot of things at play here. First of all, this
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: is not a WRAL investigation. This is a UNC investigation
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: in which somebody or multiple people within the administration are
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: leaking the questions that are being asked.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: So this is not like Pat Welter and Brian Murphy,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: like knocking on doors. It's not Pablo Torre finds out here.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to slight those guys because they
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: have been they've received information and now they are asking questions.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: But this was a UNC investigation into the H.R. violations
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: that were, you know, that Michael Lombardi was accused for
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: accused of. On top of that. Remember when they said
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: it was a witch hunt and they have nothing on him,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: otherwise they would have fired him already? And then he resigned? Okay.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe Tom Mars got out over his skis.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: A little bit.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe Michael Lombardi wasn't completely truthful with his attorney. We'll
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: see where it goes from here. But look, there have been...
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: all sorts of crazy rumors. I don't want to get
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: into the rumors because that's not fair to anybody, not
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to mention if you're wrong, you expose yourself. But everything
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that has been posed by WRAL are questions that are
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: being asked by the investigators that UNC is paying. And look,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: what happened yesterday at that press conference, I got no
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: problem with both parties. No problem. Like, I mean, should
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick have answered some of the questions that he
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: can answer? Yeah, absolutely. But anybody that ever thought he
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: was going to is nuts. So Pat Welter asked the
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: questions that needed to be asked in the way he
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: needed to ask them. He left it like, Bill, you
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: should answer this question. And Bill just went, basically, we're
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: on East Tennessee State. And that's fine. That's exactly what
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: he was going to do. But the questions have to
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: be asked. Carolina fans getting mad at that. Just get
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: out of here.
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: Well, that's been my thing has been Welter and the report.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: They didn't open up and start the stuff with UNC.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: That was done, to your point, by them. They're just
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: reporting on what was found.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: They're talking. to the people who have been questioned.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: This wasn't an RAL special report where they went inside
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: and found something. Lombardi was on leave for a reason, guys.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: It wasn't like they got him on leave. Like, oh,
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: they found this out. He's on leave.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: He was on leave, and they're trying to figure out
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: why he's on leave.
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: And the investigation went from Lombardi to the entire program,
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: which ain't good news.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Steve Belichick's on medical leave. They haven't told us of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: a medical condition. Is he dealing with cancer? Is he
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: dealing with some heart murmur, whatever. We don't know what
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the deal is. So it makes more sense that maybe
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: this is drug-related. Maybe he is in a rehab. I
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: honestly do not know. But when they leave it with
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: no information, and that's a Bill Belichick thing, well, then
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: you leave yourself open to everything that comes with that,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and you can't be surprised when that stuff happens.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: Goldie, how do you think this plays out with Dabo
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: and his future at Clemson?
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Well, as long as Pat Welter and Brian Murphy don't
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: get involved, I think Dabo's probably okay. Look, that was
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: about as embarrassing as you're going to get in college football.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody I talk to, I ask the same
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: question heading into the season. Give me a surprise team
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in the ACC. Roddy Jones, Eric McLean, even Wes Durham,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: they all say, Clemson could be good. And I'm like, man,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: they stunk with nine NFL draft picks last year. I
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: don't play the post the offseason roster game. I really don't.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Because you just don't know. Let me see you when
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you play. Maybe LSU is a national championship team. I'm
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: going to allow for that. So it looked worse than
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: it could have been. But boy, did Clemson look dysfunctional.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: They did, man.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: Oh, it was, I mean, just outclassed in a trench.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: They had 74 yards before that last 71-yard drive that
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: nobody stayed up for. Like, they had a 71-yard touchdown drive.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: Nobody stayed up for it. Nobody watched it. They had
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: 74 yards before that. Goldie, they had zero rush yards
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: when that final drive nobody watched started. Like they, I think, God,
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: they got manhandled, but I do tend to agree. And
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: there were some texters that were ripping me for this yesterday.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: I do like, I still think Clemson can have an
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: all right season, but that shouldn't be good enough. But
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: I also think they have a problem in these openers.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: They can't compete with these sec schools anymore. They've lost
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: eight straight, but I also think LSU, like, I think
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: they're the goods, man. I thought that that might've said
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: more about LSU on Saturday.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I think it probably, I think it said something about both.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think LSU is a national champ, might
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: be a national championship contender. And Clemson is a good,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: let's see, they're like the Aston Villa of the ACC.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're good enough to play all the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: way at the top, but I think they could finish
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: fourth or fifth and maybe make Europe.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: And incidentally, Ashton Villa has not scored a goal all season.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: Very similar to the struggling early season Clemson offense the
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: last few years.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: People are laughing at Goldie doing the Michael Jackson when
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: he got asked about Dabo there.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: What was that noise you made there, Goldie?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Did I make a noise?
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: There was some high-pitched laughter at Dabo's expense.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: It's actually cool here in Oxford, North Carolina.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I wasn't laughing at that. It was a little chilly,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: a little chilly. All right, Goldie, you are the man.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I love it, baby. I love it.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: Um, uh, keep it up and everybody make sure you
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: listen to Goldie weeknight, seven o'clock here at WFNZ. Um,
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: his dog also has a lot to say about football
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: in the background. I love it.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I love a dog. He gets fired up when you
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: talk football, Goldie. That's cool.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Earl's more of a European football fan, though.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: He did really get fired up when you mentioned the
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: Premier League. All right, brother, have a good week, man.
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: We'll talk to you.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Peace out.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: There's Earl again.
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: Earl.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: That's a funny dog name.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Earl.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Great name. Do you like dogs with... Well, clearly you do.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: Mabel.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I got an old people name for dogs. I had
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: a Mabel and I have a Murphy. Yeah, so you
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: like the people names.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: We had a Benny. Yeah. But now we've got a
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Bacon and a Rocket. So I... I can go both ways.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: The people names are kind of funny, though. It's kind
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: of funny when your dog has a people name.
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: If my dog keeps behaving the way he's going, he's
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: just going to be numbered like 1494745 when he's in
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: jail at some point in his life.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: He has been.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: Something the last couple of weeks. I thought I fixed him.
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Not fixed him, but I thought I made strides last
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: week with him. We went backwards the last couple of weeks.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: He is a... He's on to you. He is on me, man.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: Sneeze or Milan, he's on to your sneeze game. You
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: thought all you had to do was do some fake-out juice,
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: and he just chilled out.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Now he gets mad when I do it because he
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: knows he figured it. I over-sneezed. Yeah, yeah. That was
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: a good try, though, Bone. It was a good try.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: All right, when we come back here on the Mac
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: and Bone radio program. Coach speak.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: Wayne Kiffin halftime speech audio is out there. We've got
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: something from Kyle Shanahan and many other coaches in some
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: humorous situations. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: But wow, what a finish, you know?
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: My biggest thing was, like, I'm shocked they were still
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: in the field.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: That was a problem.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: Not everybody beats Western Michigan.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: Texas head coach Steve Sarkeesian and some unnamed member of
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: the Texas media there taking shots.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: We did not. Shame on us, Bone.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: We talked about Western Michigan and, you know, questioning, did
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: they get screwed? Wondering how the Big Ten in their
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: statement could tell us that the clocks are synced up
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: before every game. but yet apparently they weren't synced in
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: this case. Um, so there's just so many questions about it,
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: but we did not spend time talking about what Sark
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: is giving Michigan fans a business for. They stormed the
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: field over that ugly win that they shouldn't have even
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: had bone, um, against Western Michigan.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I am usually not in the court.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: Storm field storm police category, I usually speak out against
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: those police. I have to be honest with you. Even
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: I watched that and was like, y'all that happy about this?
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Seriously.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: That's a sigh of relief. We got away with one game.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: I know they can't because of what happened, but you
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: sort of just put that in the rearview mirror and
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: move on to Oklahoma.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: You get out of there like you just robbed a bank, y'all. Seriously.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Get that.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: Take your dub and get the hell out of there
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: before the cops come and take that win back and
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: give it to Western Michigan.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: I mean, I get it. They're college kids. They got excited.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: They had some drinks. I understand it. You know, they
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: just heard they just screamed Mr. Brightside at the end
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: of the third quarter, which I do love, by the way.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: But that was if any storm could be called out,
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: I feel like it was that one.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: Me and my dad ran out of the Greensboro Coliseum
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: once like a thousand miles an hour because we knew
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: we got away with one back then. Remember UConn Washington,
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: tweet 16, where Hamilton, Mac, when he faded away and
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: hit the buzzer beater in the lane?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: My dad says, we just got to run out of
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: here and not look bad. We sprinted to the parking lot.
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: I love the way your dad acted like y'all did
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: something wrong. I respect that. I respect that. He didn't
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: want to stay. Well, that was also a pre-review time,
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: but still. So I know what it's like to leave
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: the scene of a crime, Mac.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: Is it too much to revoke their status as the
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: leaders and the best?
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Because they stormed after beating Quote.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, that status should have been revoked sometime around Connor Stallions.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Probably that status should have been revoked.
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: Also, Michigan, you have maybe the best uniform in college football.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: It's not hard.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I don't need you dressing like a highlighter to play football.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: We did this yesterday. Let's move along. We did this yesterday.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: We did it yesterday.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: You got to get over this. All right, let's move
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: to some more coach speak. Bone doesn't like, Finney doesn't
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: like yellow Michigan uniforms. All right, let's move along with
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: our days and let's get to some more coach speak.
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: Because Bone, this appeared on social media last night. It
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: is alleged halftime football. uh, speech, at least a minute
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: of it that Lane Kiffin gave to his team while
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: up 31, three at the half. I think it's legit.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Media outlets are claiming it's legit. Um, listen to this.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: This is while leading bone by four touchdowns at the half.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, we.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: Started here like seven, eight months ago, whatever it was.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: And we asked you to work really hard And we
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: ask you to come back to work again and again
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: and again.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Do you feel good about what happened?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Who gives a f * * * what happened?
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: That's what's supposed to happen.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Ain't no f * * * ing celebrations for that.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: They're f * * * ed up. They work different.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Work f * * * ing different.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: So you got to show them again.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: They're going to come out. It doesn't matter what plays
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: they run.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what they.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: Do on offense, defense.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Put the next f * * * ing quarterback in.
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: I don't give a f * * *.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: You send them a f * * * ing message.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Who the f * * * is on their schedule?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: They have to play you. And don't think we lack
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: of play.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: No matter if you're in a game for one snap
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: or 50 more snaps.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: You f * * * ing take it out on them.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: The whole f * * * ing world hates you.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: So you get a chance to show the whole world.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: Go f * * * yourself. We're just going to.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: Have to see them right now. 3, 1, 3, 1, 2, 3.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: Do you think that's real, Boney? I think it's real,
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: but is that from the other night? That could be
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: the thing, too, right? I think that's Kiffin, but was
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: that something that someone posted and it's from Kiffin in
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: some other game in years past?
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Was that really the other night?
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: The whole world hates you part definitely seems like, you
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: know what I mean?
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: That could be Kiffin any time. The whole world.
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: I mean, I think I lean towards it is, but
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: if that's, I never know these days, if that's real,
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: I actually have found something I like about Lane Kiffin.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: And I said it last Friday. I said, bone, he
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: is going to use the us against the world, play
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: angry as hell and take your anger towards everybody that
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: is talking trash about you and your coach.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Take it out on Clemson. And that's what they did, man.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: I respect that, if that is him at halftime. I
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: know some people on social media, who wants to play
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: for this guy? You heard the dudes in the background saying, yeah!
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: I guarantee you, if that's his speech, and I guarantee
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: you those guys are all about playing for Lane Kiffin.
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: And I saw this come up on Twitter a lot,
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: and Scott the Honk also says who recorded that. I
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: wouldn't be surprised if Lane wanted that.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, I bet he does.
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: So that's not like Lane getting mad at someone. Lane
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: probably said, record this speech. What the outside world and
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: other players— in that portal recruits. Oh, they'll love it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: They'll love it. He probably, oh, he's surprised that was
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: later recording that.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: Dude, if you've seen the video, it's a pair of
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: those like Nike shoes the coaches wear with the, and
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: he had khakis on.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Was that him?
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: I almost wonder if he was holding the damn cat.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean? Like, look at those feet.
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: It's like, is that him? Is that another coach? So yeah,
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: I definitely think that there's a very good chance. He
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: wants that out there. Why does angry lane sound like excited? Willie.
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: That's Willie PMAC firing up a waitstaff when he ordered
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: this food.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we're out of your freaking mind.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: Somebody says y'all find a hidden video of Dabo at
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: the halftime. I want to hear that speech guys. I've
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: just had them crank up the rest of y'all bus.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: Let's get the heck out of here.
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: Well, I tell you what, we're going to have to
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: pull that bus around pretty quick here and get on.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: Out of here.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: Yo, little old Clemson just got a little smaller in
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: that first half. Little old Clemson. What on earth did
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: Dabo say at halftime? Guys, I just asked the referees,
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: and we're still going to have to play a minute
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: of this game.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of texters believe it's real, and Lane
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: Kiffin 100% wanted that video made. um all right let's
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: go to more that was lane talking to juice and
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: they acted like it was a speech let's go yeah
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: that's when juice uh pooped all over the floor that's
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: that's the speech he gave him all right let's continue
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: here bone with more coach speak let's go to kyle
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: shanahan who is in australia they'll play thursday night against
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: the rams kyle shanahan bone trying to figure out the
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: time zone difference in australia he's working through it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: Well yeah obviously uh The extra second was huge.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: All right, we're going to get to it here. We're
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: going to get to it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 10: We did our totally normal routine. I'm not sure because,
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: like I said, we're a little confused. When I look
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: at my clock and it says the time, and then
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: I try to see my family's time, and it says
• 39:17
  Speaker 10: the time, but it says yesterday.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: I don't even get how that's possible.
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: So I feel like I'm in the future. And then
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: also when we play on our Friday, which I think
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: is a Thursday in the U.S., we're such creatures of habit.
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: So I call today Tuesday. No, wait, sorry, I call
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: today Wednesday. which is the first day we put in
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: a game plan. But I think it's Monday. However, though,
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: it's Sunday in the present. So, like, I'm going to
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: mess that up all week if you guys ask me.
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: But today is just our first day of the game plan,
• 39:41
  Speaker 10: which is a Wednesday. We'll put in some on a Thursday.
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: Friday is the final part of the game plan. Saturday
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: we walk through when we play on Sunday, which is
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: a Friday in Australia and a Thursday in the U.S.
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: So don't ever make me do that again.
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: There's going to be a test on all that bone later,
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: all right? I think they play on Thursday. I think
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: I got that out of that.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: They play Thursday here, Friday in Australia. I messed it
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: up when the show began. They play Thursday here, Friday
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: in Australia. And then he's also trying to think of
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: what day in a regular football week calendar it's going
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: to be. And it's three different days. And my God,
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: that was convoluted, but funny as hell. Absolutely funny as hell.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's go to.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: I got to do this other Lane Kiffin cut. I
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: know it's Lane Kiffin overload, but I've got to go
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: to this cut bone. He seems to like Paul, like
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: a lot of people wonder, oh, is he going to
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: not like Feinbaum? Are they not going to have their
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: little bromance on the Feinbaum show with their awkward interviews anymore?
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: He seems to really like Feinbaum talking trash about him.
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: Listen to this clip from yesterday's presser about the fact
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: that the media, even Paul Feinbaum is now praising him.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: I like Paul. I really do.
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: And he knows that he said something one time to
• 40:59
  Speaker 11: me about like, or he said something about me being.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Like the exit text and you respond back or something.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: I don't think of Paul like that. They have a
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: job to do. And I understand.
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: Those things used to make me mad and upset. And
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: then I realized, okay, they have a job to do,
• 41:13
  Speaker 11: especially when two people go on a show. Usually they've
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: got to take opposite sides. And really, if you study
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: over time, if Paul's on you, you probably have been
• 41:22
  Speaker 11: doing really well or you're about to do really well.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: I always remember Paul, every other year at.
• 41:27
  Speaker 11: Alabama, it was Saban's done, the dynasty's over, he can't coach,
• 41:31
  Speaker 11: he can't keep up anymore with tempo offense. Paul would
• 41:35
  Speaker 11: kill him every other year and then he'd go in
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: a national championship. When Paul does it, I like it
• 41:40
  Speaker 11: because it usually means something good's about to happen.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: He is the definition of rat poison.
• 41:47
  Speaker 11: He sent me today his own thing where he said
• 41:51
  Speaker 11: about where the hottest place to go and you know,
• 41:53
  Speaker 11: every recruit should want to come here and everything. And
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: so I responded back to him, like, thanks for the
• 41:57
  Speaker 11: rat poison, you know, because that's what your players read.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden they think, okay, we've arrived.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Finebomb sends what he said about Kiffin.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: So is there a real bromance going on and they
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: just put on a show publicly?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: It sounds like. He sends them his takes of what
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: he said about him. Yeah. That one, I was like, okay.
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: So like Paul acts on the air like Lane is
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: the most messed up dude and I want nothing to
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: do with him. And when he appears on my show, oh,
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: it's annoying. But like, is it, are they, they have
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: a whole thing going, Bo? Like, are they playing all
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: of us?
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: It's like when we're out and Fitty sends us stuff
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: that he said about us that week. Fitty sends us
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: to put down what he said about us.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Really got you guys today. Reminds me of that.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: I don't know if that's, I kind of don't like that.
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: I kind of want them to not like each other.
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: You want actual heat.
