- 0:03Speaker 1: What's up, party people? Bueno, como estas?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mike and Bo.
- 0:09Speaker 3: This is my friend, Matt.
- 0:11Speaker 1: I love a big old sloppy whopper.
- 0:13Speaker 4: This is my friend, T-Bone.
- 0:16Speaker 1: On this Tuesday, I'm a swinger.
- 0:19Speaker 5: You guys are the best.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Pony, pony, pony, pony.
- 0:22Speaker 5: They're the best.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I love those guys.
- 0:24Speaker 6: Still in your head, still dancing, still living rent-free in
- 0:27Speaker 6: that fitty, bald dome.
- 0:29Speaker 7: All right, one time for.
- 0:30Speaker 1: The one time. You're listening to the Mac and Bo
- 0:33Speaker 1: Show on Mac and Bo Radio. Good Tuesday morning, Charlotte.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Welcome aboard. We are one day further removed from Sunday.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I'm not sure we have forgotten it. I'm not sure
- 0:51Speaker 1: we're fully moving on to Green Bay, but we're two
- 0:53Speaker 1: days away from the Panthers being able to respond and
- 0:57Speaker 1: get back out on the field on Thursday night football
- 1:00Speaker 1: in Green Bay. We've got ourselves another Hornets dub three
- 1:04Speaker 1: and one start to the season. Despite the injuries, we
- 1:08Speaker 1: also have injury updates that are not exactly exciting for
- 1:13Speaker 1: the Charlotte Horns. We'll talk about that as well. Cowboys
- 1:16Speaker 1: get a win last night over Philly. The World Series
- 1:22Speaker 1: is on the brink, on the brink. of a title
- 1:25Speaker 1: for the Brewers after last night's 10-1 win in Game
- 1:28Speaker 1: 3 to take a 3-0 lead over the Rays. We've
- 1:32Speaker 1: got things happening. Plenty of Panthers talk, run defense talk. Unfortunately,
- 1:37Speaker 1: talk about Taylor Moten going on IR after that injury
- 1:41Speaker 1: on Sunday. So we've got a lot of things happening
- 1:42Speaker 1: today here. Some what the bleep stories to laugh at.
- 1:46Speaker 1: We've got things happening today on the Mac and Bone show,
- 1:49Speaker 1: the fit dog in the house. And you know the
- 1:52Speaker 1: bone man is here. And for the second time in
- 1:56Speaker 1: a week, we get to see the Bone Man hatless.
- 1:59Speaker 1: What's up, Boney?
- 2:00Speaker 6: Yeah, because obviously it was my choice and I chose
- 2:03Speaker 6: not to wear a hat today. I wasn't told to
- 2:05Speaker 6: look nicer than usual today or anything like that.
- 2:08Speaker 1: I don't think I did what I was supposed to.
- 2:12Speaker 6: We might have visitors later on today. We shall see
- 2:15Speaker 6: if they come in or not.
- 2:17Speaker 1: But what it do, baby? What's up, man? What's up, pal?
- 2:20Speaker 1: I'm looking. Pal Michaels? I'm looking. Oh, is that where
- 2:24Speaker 1: we're going now?
- 2:24Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I just got to throw it out there a little bit.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, and I'm looking at what I'm wearing,
- 2:30Speaker 1: and I'm afraid I did not follow the directions the
- 2:33Speaker 1: way you did. Yeah, you told us. You said, look, presentable.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I thought this was presentable.
- 2:37Speaker 6: When someone says that to me here, that pretty much
- 2:39Speaker 6: means take your hat off for a shot. I also
- 2:42Speaker 6: feel I don't feel the same when I don't wear
- 2:44Speaker 6: a hat. I have less energy. I feel like a
- 2:47Speaker 6: hat's like a superpower. Like Samson's hair? It gives me
- 2:50Speaker 6: energy for some reason. When I go hatless, I just
- 2:53Speaker 6: lose a little something-something. Well, I guess I should have
- 2:56Speaker 6: all the energy.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I have no excuses. My hat's on today, Bo, whether
- 2:59Speaker 1: it's supposed to be or not. And I guess I
- 3:02Speaker 1: got to carry it energy-wise on the show today. You're
- 3:05Speaker 1: the Musa Diabate of this operation.
- 3:07Speaker 5: Moo!
- 3:09Speaker 1: What a what a man what a man what a
- 3:11Speaker 1: mighty good man he is 17 rebounds for the moose
- 3:14Speaker 1: last night hornets win 110 to 103 11 of the
- 3:18Speaker 1: rebounds were offensive and oh by the way getting in
- 3:21Speaker 1: the face of anthony davis and jawing with him for
- 3:24Speaker 1: good measure as well it felt.
- 3:27Speaker 6: Like he had in the hornets win 110 103 it
- 3:29Speaker 6: felt like I know he had 11 offensive rebounds. It
- 3:33Speaker 6: felt like, Mac, he affected about 50 of them, though.
- 3:36Speaker 6: I think you could have given him credit for 25
- 3:37Speaker 6: offensive rebounds. He got his hands on so many basketballs
- 3:41Speaker 6: last night.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It's true. It still counts if one of his teammates
- 3:44Speaker 1: gets it, and he tipped it and kept it alive.
- 3:47Speaker 1: That's a pretty valuable contribution. And he had three blocks
- 3:50Speaker 1: as well inside. Just played a great energy game for
- 3:54Speaker 1: this team. Brandon Miller was that dude last night. Is
- 4:00Speaker 1: that what a $ 209 million man looks like? Can we
- 4:04Speaker 1: just enjoy having Brandon Miller on the team instead of
- 4:08Speaker 1: every possession, people nitpicking and wondering? Is that a $ 209
- 4:12Speaker 1: million play?
- 4:14Speaker 6: I feel like that play right there, I dress my glasses, looked.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Like a $ 104 million play.
- 4:18Speaker 5: No.
- 4:20Speaker 1: That's just not a fun way to fan, man. Basement dwellers.
- 4:23Speaker 1: It's just not. And last night, he put on a
- 4:27Speaker 1: show with 39 points. He had 34 the other night,
- 4:31Speaker 1: but it was 10 of 29 from the floor. Last night,
- 4:34Speaker 1: it was his most efficient night shooting the ball. 15
- 4:37Speaker 1: of 28 from the floor. Best three-point night as well.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Five of 10. And he hit some difficult shots, man,
- 4:46Speaker 1: where he gets it. He's got to get to his spot.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It's contested. Had a couple of yam-a-lam-a-ding-dongs as well. Had
- 4:55Speaker 1: himself a couple of blocks, including a big one on
- 4:57Speaker 1: AD late in that game. That was cool. I realize
- 5:01Speaker 1: it's the Wizards. They are improved. I will say that.
- 5:04Speaker 1: But for the Hornets, with who they're missing, Bone, and
- 5:07Speaker 1: it hasn't always been pretty, but to be a 3-1,
- 5:08Speaker 1: that's a pretty dang good start.
- 5:11Speaker 6: Yeah, it hasn't been necessarily the full easiest path to 3-1,
- 5:15Speaker 6: but they've gotten there.
- 5:16Speaker 1: You mentioned the.
- 5:17Speaker 6: Blocks for Miller, also three steals, a couple offensive rebounds,
- 5:21Speaker 6: a plus 16, so a really good full stat line.
- 5:25Speaker 6: Got to the foul line, made four from the line.
- 5:28Speaker 6: We've talked about this team needing to get to the
- 5:31Speaker 6: line and maybe play downhill a little bit more, a
- 5:34Speaker 6: little more physical. He certainly did that last night. Look,
- 5:37Speaker 6: Washington is an improved basketball team. They've added two... former
- 5:41Speaker 6: all-star high-level players. We're going to see them again on Friday. Obviously,
- 5:46Speaker 6: the Bucs is going to be a huge part of
- 5:49Speaker 6: what they're going to do. Didn't play last night, but
- 5:51Speaker 6: for the Hornets to be 3-1 for a team where
- 5:54Speaker 6: some of our fans said, oh, they're not even going
- 5:56Speaker 6: to win 20. Pretty damn good start, I think, for
- 5:59Speaker 6: the Bucs at 3-1, all things considered.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Absolutely. Absolutely. No doubt about it, Bone. And it was
- 6:04Speaker 1: a fun watch, man. I enjoy watching. I'm glad to
- 6:07Speaker 1: have The Bugs back in our life, Nas Reed and
- 6:10Speaker 1: Grayson Allen, two big offseason pickups, did their thing again.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Nas with 18 points, 12 rebounds. Wasn't extremely efficient, but
- 6:19Speaker 1: he was huge in the start of the fourth quarter.
- 6:21Speaker 1: He kind of took the game over. Brandon was out
- 6:23Speaker 1: for the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, and
- 6:25Speaker 1: Nas was the guy they played through. And again, I
- 6:28Speaker 1: can't stress enough, I don't think his role is supposed
- 6:30Speaker 1: to be like number two scorer, the guy they throw
- 6:33Speaker 1: it to who has to create the way it's kind
- 6:35Speaker 1: of been. I think, obviously, once you get Conn, and
- 6:38Speaker 1: I'm going to say this over and over again, once
- 6:40Speaker 1: you get Conn and Kobe back, because things are going
- 6:43Speaker 1: to get a lot easier offensively when we get those
- 6:46Speaker 1: guys back, obviously. But Nas Reed, they really needed him
- 6:50Speaker 1: in the fourth to get buckets, and he did bone,
- 6:53Speaker 1: also grabbed those 12 rebounds. And Grayson Allen, you can
- 6:56Speaker 1: pencil it in. This dude's going to get you buckets
- 6:59Speaker 1: off the bench. 15 points off the bench last night.
- 7:02Speaker 1: He did.
- 7:03Speaker 6: Another guy off the bench I thought did really well
- 7:05Speaker 6: in 16 minutes. An active Tijon sighting. Five points, five rebounds,
- 7:11Speaker 6: had a steal, a couple offensive boards himself. He may
- 7:16Speaker 6: not stand out as someone that's just reading a box score,
- 7:19Speaker 6: but I think to us here, Tijon giving you that
- 7:21Speaker 6: off the bench, that's a real positive for Tijon last night.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I think he's been a positive since he's gotten in
- 7:27Speaker 1: the rotation. He didn't play the first game, right? But
- 7:31Speaker 1: in the last three games, he's been in the rotation.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I mean, the defense, he played against Giannis the other
- 7:35Speaker 1: night when he was in there. Excellent. Like, I think
- 7:37Speaker 1: you're starting to see, again, 3-D hustle, energy. I think
- 7:43Speaker 1: you're starting to see the things that... And he did
- 7:47Speaker 1: have a time he tried to do a spin move
- 7:49Speaker 1: into the paint. He's always going to get one of those.
- 7:50Speaker 1: But Moose got the rebound and put it back in. But, yeah,
- 7:53Speaker 1: I think he's a positive player right now. And I
- 7:57Speaker 1: don't know if he'll stay in the rotation when Grant
- 7:58Speaker 1: Williams comes back and the rest of the guys come back.
- 8:01Speaker 1: There I did it again. But I think he's definitely
- 8:03Speaker 1: been a positive impact on this team. So you mentioned
- 8:08Speaker 1: Washington again. Here's what it looks like. Because they have
- 8:10Speaker 1: this stretch where they open the season with seven games
- 8:13Speaker 1: in 11 days. So they're pretty busy. Wednesday, they go
- 8:16Speaker 1: to Detroit. Friday, like you said, they go to Washington.
- 8:21Speaker 1: And then Saturday is the Halloween game against LeBron James
- 8:26Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia 76ers.
- 8:29Speaker 6: I was looking at this week. They also played Detroit
- 8:32Speaker 6: on the back end of this, too, so they've got
- 8:34Speaker 6: Philly-Detroit twice coming up here. I looked at this four-game stretch, though,
- 8:38Speaker 6: starting last night, Detroit-Washington-Philly. I looked at it as, hey,
- 8:43Speaker 6: can they be 2-2 in that stretch?
- 8:44Speaker 1: Can they....
- 8:48Speaker 6: Beat Washington, I mean, at least once, maybe twice, we'll see.
- 8:52Speaker 6: Split the other ones if they need to. It's a
- 8:54Speaker 6: tough one there with the Pistons and the Sixers. But
- 8:57Speaker 6: I think if you look at this in small stretches, again,
- 9:00Speaker 6: while we wait for guys to come back here, I
- 9:03Speaker 6: think if you look at it in four or five
- 9:04Speaker 6: game stretches here, I believe two and two in this
- 9:07Speaker 6: particular four game stretch would be a big deal.
- 9:10Speaker 1: It would be. It would be real solid. And again,
- 9:11Speaker 1: all I want.
- 9:12Speaker 6: Yeah, we're just trying to stay above water here. My
- 9:14Speaker 6: whole goal is to be.
- 9:15Speaker 1: 500. Be. 500 without those guys. And right now, they're
- 9:18Speaker 1: two games over. 500. The least shocking story of the
- 9:22Speaker 1: NBA season, speaking of the Sixers on Saturday night, is
- 9:26Speaker 1: that Joel Embiid is already missing games and injured. That
- 9:30Speaker 1: man's body. I thought my body was falling apart. He
- 9:33Speaker 1: went deep into October. He did. Forgive him that.
- 9:37Speaker 6: The thing about that team, though, they are so set
- 9:40Speaker 6: up to have success now if Embiid sits there. So
- 9:44Speaker 6: they need him, basically, for the duration of the stretch run.
- 9:48Speaker 6: Even just adding Jalen Brown would have been a big deal.
- 9:50Speaker 6: They add LeBron. They've got Maxey, who looks like... one
- 9:53Speaker 6: of the best players in the league. Basically, Mac, they've
- 9:56Speaker 6: loaded up their roster so much where they know Embiid's
- 9:58Speaker 6: going to sit for a while.
- 9:59Speaker 1: They're Embiid.
- 10:00Speaker 3: It.
- 10:01Speaker 1: I'm surprised they don't tell them, come see us in March.
- 10:04Speaker 1: I'm surprised they don't tell them that. Now, we did
- 10:07Speaker 1: get injury news yesterday, Bone, that was not exactly the
- 10:11Speaker 1: most reassuring news. No, sir. When it comes to Kobe, Khan,
- 10:17Speaker 1: and Grant. We got that clip over there, Fit, of
- 10:19Speaker 1: Coach Lee. This was the pregame presser yesterday where he
- 10:23Speaker 1: was asked about, you know, do you have the eternal question?
- 10:27Speaker 1: Do you have injury update on blank? The eternal question
- 10:31Speaker 1: that the Hornets are asked. And this one, of course,
- 10:33Speaker 1: was about those three guys being out.
- 10:35Speaker 8: No timeline as far as I know right now. And
- 10:39Speaker 8: I think all three of those guys that you just mentioned,
- 10:42Speaker 8: have had positive steps in their rehab process. Some are
- 10:45Speaker 8: further along than others, but I hope during this road
- 10:49Speaker 8: trip or after the road trip we get a little
- 10:51Speaker 8: bit more information, but all three are making positive steps
- 10:55Speaker 8: in all their rehab plans.
- 10:56Speaker 6: See, here's what's the eye-opening wording of all this, Mac.
- 10:59Speaker 6: On the opening night of the season, when he gave
- 11:02Speaker 6: an update on the guys, I thought we were in
- 11:04Speaker 6: the ramping up.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Process where they were out there doing stuff. They did
- 11:07Speaker 1: the individual stuff.
- 11:08Speaker 6: I thought they were starting to do the little, oh, yeah,
- 11:10Speaker 6: they're starting to be active and do the ramp up.
- 11:12Speaker 6: Now we're back to... information gathering here at some point again.
- 11:16Speaker 6: So I'm not loving that update there of where I
- 11:20Speaker 6: thought we were a week ago to where we are now.
- 11:23Speaker 6: There's different ways that they word it. Information gathering doesn't
- 11:26Speaker 6: make me feel very good about the current status.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Charles Leo to show up to pressers with a shirt
- 11:30Speaker 1: that says no timeline. Because that's the answer all the time.
- 11:34Speaker 1: There's no timeline. Really? I mean, what is harder to get,
- 11:38Speaker 1: a Hornets injury update or Ricky Iguanu intel on his injury?
- 11:42Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, they're like state secrets in the
- 11:45Speaker 1: city of Charlotte. And I will say this, the Grant
- 11:48Speaker 1: Williams and Kahn hamstring strains are six weeks long. six
- 11:53Speaker 1: weeks ago yeah they happen um now it does say
- 11:57Speaker 1: because i went and did the whole web md experience
- 11:59Speaker 1: thing this morning that's where some you say you're at
- 12:01Speaker 1: your best when you're on there they do say when
- 12:03Speaker 1: i just read something i don't have to unfortunately in
- 12:05Speaker 1: this town you're on there a lot i don't yeah
- 12:07Speaker 1: i don't have to come up with anything i just
- 12:09Speaker 1: read it but they say three to eight weeks for
- 12:11Speaker 1: a moderate hamstring strain and eight to twelve weeks for
- 12:15Speaker 1: a severe so Is this moderate or severe?
- 12:20Speaker 6: Con didn't make it seem too severe when we talked
- 12:22Speaker 6: to him.
- 12:23Speaker 1: He's walking around out there, no limp. He was fine. Well,
- 12:25Speaker 1: after we talked to him, he went and did a
- 12:26Speaker 1: press conference and told everybody, I don't miss games.
- 12:30Speaker 6: I want to be there on opening night. So I
- 12:34Speaker 6: don't know what happened to that ambition. Was there any
- 12:36Speaker 6: sort of setback or something? Yeah, that's a good question.
- 12:38Speaker 6: I don't think they'd tell us if it was.
- 12:41Speaker 1: So anyway.
- 12:42Speaker 6: We need to have one collective setback altogether? They all
- 12:45Speaker 6: got injured together again? What's going on here with this?
- 12:47Speaker 6: The Kobe one I get because that's a lot more recent.
- 12:51Speaker 6: I need my Con back, man. I need Kobe, but
- 12:53Speaker 6: I need my Con, man. Yeah, both those guys, big time.
- 12:56Speaker 6: And Grant Williams, I don't want to keep down.
- 12:57Speaker 1: We downplay Grant Williams just because the other guys are
- 13:00Speaker 1: star-level players.
- 13:01Speaker 5: Yes.
- 13:02Speaker 1: But throw Grant Williams, who is a leader and a
- 13:06Speaker 1: grinder and, you know what I mean, an ultimate role player,
- 13:08Speaker 1: throw him into the mix, too. We need shooters. For
- 13:12Speaker 1: all the talk, Bone, about all the shooters we have
- 13:14Speaker 1: on this team... Their starting backcourt is Schroeder and Sion.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Two guys that the other team sends out invitations to
- 13:22Speaker 1: to come and shoot with them every game.
- 13:24Speaker 6: And eventually, you know, they're off to a good start,
- 13:27Speaker 6: but eventually that will... That'll be a major problem. You
- 13:31Speaker 6: need your guys back here. Definitely, definitely.
- 13:34Speaker 1: All right, so the Monday night football game last night,
- 13:37Speaker 1: Cowboys end up pulling away. It was close. It was
- 13:40Speaker 1: a one-point game late third. It was a one-score game
- 13:45Speaker 1: early in the fourth. Dallas ends up winning 38-21 over
- 13:50Speaker 1: Philly last night. Tanner McKee had a pick in the
- 13:54Speaker 1: fourth quarter that did not help matters. They did get
- 13:56Speaker 1: Barkley back, but only nine touches.
- 13:58Speaker 6: For Barkley yeah he looked like he was trying to
- 14:00Speaker 6: it looked like he was having some problems but he
- 14:02Speaker 6: was still playing he was one of his first touches
- 14:05Speaker 6: Mac he looked like he may have hurt himself again
- 14:07Speaker 6: where they were stretching him out Troy Aikman said we
- 14:10Speaker 6: may not see him again then he came right back
- 14:11Speaker 6: in and scored a touchdown so I don't know what
- 14:13Speaker 6: was going on Troy Aikman also turned to Joe Buck
- 14:15Speaker 6: and says can't wait till I never see you again
- 14:18Speaker 6: as well do.
- 14:19Speaker 1: You think would he ever throw a punch at Joe
- 14:21Speaker 1: Buck I'm just curious I'm hoping that report said I
- 14:24Speaker 1: don't know if that report's exaggeration but they said they
- 14:26Speaker 1: almost came to blows before a game a couple weeks ago.
- 14:29Speaker 6: You keep putting NFC East games on. You may have
- 14:32Speaker 6: to do something here to fire up the ratings. Or
- 14:34Speaker 6: just put Pat McAfee in there and have him talk
- 14:36Speaker 6: about Utah.
- 14:37Speaker 1: I'll say this. All the injuries on offense wouldn't help
- 14:43Speaker 1: the Eagles' defense. Last night, Dak throws three touchdowns, no picks,
- 14:47Speaker 1: and they run the ball for 2-0-4 last night against Philly.
- 14:51Speaker 1: in that win so the cowboys get to three and
- 14:53Speaker 1: four philadelphia straight up lost season that is the definition
- 14:58Speaker 1: of a lost season what is going on in philadelphia
- 15:00Speaker 1: right now sir and the brewers man the fans will
- 15:03Speaker 1: handle it well though don't worry about it They always do.
- 15:07Speaker 1: The Brewers are doing something really kind right now, Bone.
- 15:11Speaker 1: They are telling America you don't even need to bother
- 15:14Speaker 1: with this series. They win last night in Game 3, 10-1.
- 15:19Speaker 1: They now will try to sweep. the series tonight down
- 15:24Speaker 1: there in Tampa had a big eight run fifth inning.
- 15:28Speaker 1: All of a sudden I looked up and it was over. Essentially.
- 15:31Speaker 1: I wasn't fully focused on it.
- 15:33Speaker 6: Next thing I know, eight run fifth inning, Freddie Peralta
- 15:36Speaker 6: had been incredible throughout the, his last 10 starts.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Not last night. Yeah, it is over.
- 15:44Speaker 6: Milwaukee will be your, your world champs. What a, what a,
- 15:48Speaker 6: what a team they are. They are the definition of
- 15:51Speaker 6: team in an era of, of highly paid players and
- 15:54Speaker 6: stars and all this, they are a team, no doubt about.
- 15:58Speaker 1: It, a team. Maybe Tampa should spend more time, Bone,
- 16:02Speaker 1: working on how to beat the Brewers and less on
- 16:05Speaker 1: coming up with Michael Jackson glove contraptions for their quarterback
- 16:09Speaker 1: who's only going to hand off the ball all day.
- 16:12Speaker 1: I mean, Baker didn't even need a right hand in
- 16:15Speaker 1: that game. Could have played left-handed. Yeah, right.
- 16:18Speaker 6: What a waste of a staff. Maybe they should get
- 16:23Speaker 6: their pitchers some contraptions. Their first baseman right now is like, hey,
- 16:27Speaker 6: where's my glove? They're like, oh, Baker still has it.
- 16:32Speaker 1: Oh, man. And the WNBA series, by the way, I
- 16:34Speaker 1: do want to mention this because this is a rather
- 16:36Speaker 1: entertaining situation right now. Golden State Valkyries won last night
- 16:40Speaker 1: in game five. So it's 3-2. They're up over Atlanta.
- 16:44Speaker 1: But the real story with this series is, This commissioner,
- 16:50Speaker 1: she runs a very loose, unorganized ship. They just found
- 16:56Speaker 1: out yesterday where Game 6 will be. Game 6 is
- 17:00Speaker 1: on Thursday. They just found out what building they're playing
- 17:02Speaker 1: Game 6 in. Oh, well, that's nice. Yesterday. That will
- 17:05Speaker 1: be in the same arena there where the Hawks play.
- 17:08Speaker 1: The problem is the Hawks play that night. So they
- 17:11Speaker 1: have to make game six of the WNBA finals at
- 17:13Speaker 1: 1230 in the afternoon on a Thursday. And then apparently, Bone,
- 17:19Speaker 1: there is talk that and when this came out, they
- 17:22Speaker 1: were hoping Atlanta would be able to win it in
- 17:24Speaker 1: six and celebrate. Now they can't. But they will whoever
- 17:27Speaker 1: wins will not be able to do any celebrating of
- 17:29Speaker 1: the game, reportedly of the championship if they win. I
- 17:33Speaker 1: guess now it would be only Golden State, on the
- 17:35Speaker 1: floor because they have to clear everybody out and clean
- 17:37Speaker 1: up for the Hawks game later that night. So they
- 17:40Speaker 1: were talking about sending them. Ramona Shelbourne said, they may
- 17:43Speaker 1: tell a team, I know you're excited you won a
- 17:45Speaker 1: championship on this floor, but we need you to go
- 17:48Speaker 1: to the practice gym and go celebrate.
- 17:50Speaker 3: What?
- 17:52Speaker 1: Come on. Come on, Kathy. What's Kathy doing running this show, man?
- 17:55Speaker 6: They're going to have to celebrate this at Chili's, like
- 17:58Speaker 6: the staff of Dunder Mifflin.
- 17:59Speaker 1: They're going to hand out some Dundies? Oh, my God.
- 18:02Speaker 1: It feels like a scene from there, right? Like, hey,
- 18:04Speaker 1: you're champions. Everyone off. Please move. But we want to
- 18:08Speaker 1: get it. No confetti. No. But what about our trophy?
- 18:11Speaker 1: We're going to grab it for you. Everyone over here
- 18:12Speaker 1: to this room. The trophy's over in the practice court.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Let's go. I mean, that is nothing. How embarrassing. Yeah,
- 18:19Speaker 1: that's not the best look in the world there, is it?
- 18:22Speaker 6: Mackers, when we come back here on the program, not
- 18:25Speaker 6: good news on Taylor Mowen's injury yesterday.
- 18:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:28Speaker 6: Who else is banged up on this short week? And
- 18:31Speaker 6: what does Canales have to say for his run defense?
- 18:34Speaker 1: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ. I know, I just.
- 18:57Speaker 7: Really like myself, his teammates, you know, we're all hurt
- 19:00Speaker 7: for Timo, um, but we know what he represents and, and, uh,
- 19:03Speaker 7: how he battled to get back out there. And, and
- 19:05Speaker 7: in the process was just available to his teammates, you know, and, um,
- 19:09Speaker 7: and a guy like Monroe Freeling, you know, who needed that, uh,
- 19:11Speaker 7: sounding board as he was out there, you know, playing
- 19:14Speaker 7: early and, and now he's going to come back in there. Um,
- 19:17Speaker 7: but you know, just again, for the last couple of
- 19:20Speaker 7: weeks as he's been out there and available for us,
- 19:22Speaker 7: you know, to feel the joy and the gratitude, uh,
- 19:24Speaker 7: coming out of Timo, um, It was a great thing
- 19:26Speaker 7: for us. It was a great thing for the team.
- 19:28Speaker 7: As you get into the season, as you start to
- 19:31Speaker 7: one practice after the other, and you have that mentality,
- 19:34Speaker 7: when somebody comes out there with that kind of approach
- 19:37Speaker 7: and that kind of attitude, it just adds a spark.
- 19:39Speaker 7: And I really appreciate Timo for bringing that.
- 19:43Speaker 1: There you go, man. Everybody, you could tell. I mean,
- 19:45Speaker 1: you could see it. You saw Buccaneers players, Bo, go
- 19:49Speaker 1: over to Timo online. the card. Tristan Wirfs wasn't even
- 19:51Speaker 1: on the field at the time, right? He's an offensive tackle.
- 19:53Speaker 1: He was on the sidelines. Came over, give some love
- 19:56Speaker 1: to his fellow offensive tackle, Taylor Moten. And you can
- 20:00Speaker 1: only imagine how much the players in that locker room, coaches,
- 20:04Speaker 1: are hurting for Timo. He battles to get back, has
- 20:07Speaker 1: to go through the blood clot scare. And in his
- 20:10Speaker 1: second game back, has this happened. And he has to
- 20:14Speaker 1: have surgery on ligament tears in his ankle. Also has
- 20:20Speaker 1: a fracture in a bone in his lower leg. I mean,
- 20:25Speaker 1: that was a nasty, nasty injury. I mean, you talk
- 20:28Speaker 1: about just not being your year. Obviously, this isn't... You know,
- 20:33Speaker 1: the seriousness of what he dealt with with the blood clots,
- 20:36Speaker 1: it's still a very major injury. But just a poor
- 20:39Speaker 1: guy to fight back and battle back and to come
- 20:41Speaker 1: back just like himself. Came back from blood clots like
- 20:44Speaker 1: nothing ever happened. Gets right back in there. He's Timo.
- 20:48Speaker 1: And then, you know... The fate of football sometimes will
- 20:51Speaker 1: get you, and it got him on this one. It did.
- 20:53Speaker 1: It sucks for him and for guys, but also it's
- 20:55Speaker 1: so durable as well. It does. I cannot believe because
- 20:58Speaker 1: your left tackle got manhandled, your right tackle's out for
- 21:01Speaker 1: the season. But here we are.
- 21:03Speaker 6: I got to tell you, I don't think you see
- 21:05Speaker 6: that ever, where the right tackle gets beat so bad,
- 21:08Speaker 6: the left tackle gets hurt.
- 21:09Speaker 1: We're worried about Bryce, right, when Rasheed Walker struggles in
- 21:12Speaker 1: pass protection. Now we got to worry about the tackle
- 21:15Speaker 1: on the complete. Monroe Freeling, watch your back, baby.
- 21:18Speaker 6: If you are a wideout out there, you're Coker or T-Mac,
- 21:22Speaker 6: just be careful. There could be some debris left by
- 21:25Speaker 6: Rasheed Walker getting blown up.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Yeah, what's next? A guy wide to the right and
- 21:29Speaker 1: Walker ends up getting knocked into him?
- 21:31Speaker 2: Attention those sitting in the front row. Please move back.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Rasheed Walker is on the field. Fans are at risk
- 21:37Speaker 2: on the other side of the stadium. Holy heck. So anyway,
- 21:41Speaker 2: it's not ideal, man. It is not in Freeling.
- 21:44Speaker 1: The good news is he's not still injured, you know,
- 21:46Speaker 1: so he will be back and he will start at
- 21:48Speaker 1: right tackle on Thursday night. The injury report bone. Let's
- 21:55Speaker 1: see here. So yesterday they did a walkthrough, and this
- 21:58Speaker 1: is the way it was for the Packers as well, right,
- 22:00Speaker 1: because they just played the day before. They're not going
- 22:02Speaker 1: to do a full practice. So they do a walkthrough
- 22:05Speaker 1: on a Monday for Thursday night games. So these injury
- 22:09Speaker 1: reports are kind of estimated, right? If we did a
- 22:11Speaker 1: full practice, what would these guys do? Jalen Phillips listed
- 22:17Speaker 1: as non-practice participant. Damian Lewis with a knee injury. Um,
- 22:23Speaker 1: Torricelli Simpkins, ankle injury, Bobby Brown, hand injury, and cornerback
- 22:29Speaker 1: Caleb Evans with a tricep injury that has his Thursday
- 22:33Speaker 1: night in doubt. So they may not even get to
- 22:36Speaker 1: make a decision of, do we want to give him
- 22:40Speaker 1: another chance? He may be hurt. And Dave Canales mentioned
- 22:43Speaker 1: about five different corners bone, none of which are Deion
- 22:47Speaker 1: Sanders in their prime. in terms of who could replace
- 22:53Speaker 1: Caleb Evans on Thursday night. And as you have been mentioning, Bone,
- 22:57Speaker 1: my God, Jordan Love and those wide receivers, Bone, have
- 23:01Speaker 1: been dangerous of late. And they're desperate, Mac. They're thirsty.
- 23:06Speaker 1: And you know that.
- 23:08Speaker 6: It's not exactly a conservative approach by the floor offense
- 23:12Speaker 6: with Jordan Love. He throws the ball deeper more times
- 23:15Speaker 6: than anybody in the league, I believe, or it seems
- 23:18Speaker 6: that way anyway. Yeah, that does not make me feel
- 23:22Speaker 6: good about that matchup of our secondary.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Right now versus the Green Bay offensive attack. The good
- 23:28Speaker 1: news is they have not run the ball well, even
- 23:30Speaker 1: with Jacobs back the other day. Their offensive line... has
- 23:34Speaker 1: had major issues. I understand. Are they missing Rashid Walker?
- 23:37Speaker 1: Cause they could always take him back. I understand bone
- 23:41Speaker 1: that we are all thinking, yeah, uh, join the club,
- 23:44Speaker 1: but their offensive line has struggled this year. So that's
- 23:47Speaker 1: the one good thing. It's like, can we go back
- 23:50Speaker 1: to the defense bone that looked okay against the run?
- 23:54Speaker 1: for the previous few weeks before, you know, sandwiched by
- 23:57Speaker 1: these two debacles of run defense. That'll be an interesting
- 24:02Speaker 1: part of this game on Thursday night. Canalis Bone was asked,
- 24:07Speaker 1: I guess he was presented with the question this way
- 24:09Speaker 1: by Mike K. Mike K has been doing an amazing
- 24:12Speaker 1: job coming up with stats, advanced numbers about the Panthers
- 24:17Speaker 1: and tweeting them out. The problem is because of what
- 24:20Speaker 1: happened this weekend, everything he's digging up is a pretty
- 24:23Speaker 1: depressing stat.
- 24:25Speaker 6: And he shared with us yesterday, Boehm. Sad stat with
- 24:29Speaker 6: Mike Gay. It's time for another sad stat.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Kleenex could sponsor that for you, Mike Gay. Got everybody
- 24:36Speaker 1: crying with these. So anyway, he tweeted out yesterday, the
- 24:39Speaker 1: Panthers have given up 200 yards rushing in a game
- 24:42Speaker 1: 12 times since the start of the Canales era in 2024.
- 24:47Speaker 1: And he asked Dave Canales about that stat and the
- 24:51Speaker 1: run defense yesterday.
- 24:52Speaker 7: And that's what we're working on right now. You know,
- 24:54Speaker 7: I don't really want to get into the specifics of it.
- 24:56Speaker 7: I feel like there's, you know, the adjustments and the
- 24:58Speaker 7: things that we need to do. I don't want to
- 25:00Speaker 7: really air that out. But just understanding that we got
- 25:03Speaker 7: to do it. We got to execute it well together.
- 25:06Speaker 7: We got to coach it better collectively. We got to
- 25:08Speaker 7: have that plan so that when it becomes the same
- 25:12Speaker 7: type of concepts that our players feel prepared, they feel
- 25:15Speaker 7: ready to attack whatever it is. Let's take this run
- 25:18Speaker 7: out of it. They're going to have to go to
- 25:19Speaker 7: these other ones. So that's what we've been working through,
- 25:22Speaker 7: talking through.
- 25:23Speaker 6: To add on, Matt, to that tweet from Mike K
- 25:25Speaker 6: you're talking about, there's been 90 times teams have ran
- 25:29Speaker 6: for over 200 yards since the Canales era started here,
- 25:33Speaker 6: and 12 of those do belong to the Carolina Panthers.
- 25:37Speaker 6: So 90 overall, at least total-wide. It's 13-plus percent of
- 25:41Speaker 6: the games. Now, I will say this.
- 25:43Speaker 1: There's got to be context on this because I basically
- 25:45Speaker 1: have maintained, and I know people are after Avero and
- 25:48Speaker 1: they don't want me to do this, but 2024 was
- 25:50Speaker 1: a bleep show. Derrick Brown was gone. and the players
- 25:53Speaker 1: they were putting out there had no chance. Eight of
- 25:56Speaker 1: the games were then in the 2024 season. So they've
- 25:59Speaker 1: had four since then, two this year. The problem is, Bone,
- 26:03Speaker 1: that four in the last two years is still tied
- 26:05Speaker 1: for first worst. So it's like, yeah, it hasn't been
- 26:09Speaker 1: the total bleep show like 2024, but this run defense
- 26:12Speaker 1: this season has, I mean, it should not be at
- 26:16Speaker 1: this level, right? Like, I've got Navarro's back. I've said
- 26:20Speaker 1: last year, look it, they made strides. They improved last year.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Now they add more talent this year. What this run
- 26:26Speaker 1: defense has done this season, I don't care if they've
- 26:29Speaker 1: been good in the other four games. Those two games
- 26:31Speaker 1: are embarrassing and unacceptable, man.
- 26:33Speaker 6: And it's kind of crazy the job they did against
- 26:36Speaker 6: Bijon and Gibbs, but then the Buccaneers come in and
- 26:39Speaker 6: do what they did, right?
- 26:40Speaker 1: You would think, oh, if they.
- 26:41Speaker 6: Gave up 200-plus yards, it would be to Bijon and Gibbs' offenses.
- 26:46Speaker 6: and what they do for their team, and not Tampa,
- 26:48Speaker 6: but it was Tampa. A big part of.
- 26:50Speaker 1: It was that they got that lead early, and they
- 26:54Speaker 1: got that lead to where it was. And it wasn't
- 26:57Speaker 1: all the defense's fault. Offense gave up seven points. David
- 27:00Speaker 1: Moore handed them a short field and essentially handed them
- 27:03Speaker 1: seven points. So I would argue, Bone, that when they
- 27:08Speaker 1: dug that hole, the defense was not– They were equal
- 27:13Speaker 1: parties in why we gave up points early. But then Tampa,
- 27:17Speaker 1: who had Baker with the contraption on his hand, they
- 27:19Speaker 1: didn't want to throw. So it worked out perfectly for them.
- 27:22Speaker 1: And then our offense that we thought, boom, they ain't
- 27:25Speaker 1: going to let us down this year. I thought multiple times,
- 27:28Speaker 1: they're going to get us back in this game. And
- 27:29Speaker 1: they just could not. They started turning it over. So
- 27:32Speaker 1: to me, it was game flow. It's the way the
- 27:34Speaker 1: game went. You know what I mean? That allowed them
- 27:37Speaker 1: to be able to just commit to the run like that,
- 27:40Speaker 1: but it still shouldn't happen. Especially when you know, oh,
- 27:42Speaker 1: they're running just about every time. Like you should, and
- 27:47Speaker 1: you should be able to load up the box. They
- 27:49Speaker 1: know it's coming and you should be able to hold
- 27:51Speaker 1: up better than that.
- 27:52Speaker 6: We got beat by a guy, Mac, playing quarterback that
- 27:55Speaker 6: basically had the equivalent of.
- 27:57Speaker 1: The strong hand from Scary Movement. Oh, man. Green Bay's
- 28:02Speaker 1: injury report, I do want to mention real quick here.
- 28:05Speaker 1: One of the wide receivers we're afraid of is an
- 28:08Speaker 1: estimated DNP yesterday, Matthew Golden. Shoulder and foot injury, so
- 28:12Speaker 1: we'll watch him moving forward. Multiple offensive linemen. multiple defensive linemen,
- 28:18Speaker 1: and linebackers out here, Franklin. So we will see, Boney.
- 28:22Speaker 1: And I hadn't read it. We'll have to look up
- 28:24Speaker 1: what the Micah Parsons situation is. I had not heard
- 28:28Speaker 1: anything recently on him. Well, just listen to his podcast
- 28:30Speaker 1: today and figure out what's going on. He'll give his
- 28:33Speaker 1: own update? Is that how it's going to work? He
- 28:35Speaker 1: could be broadcasting the game because I hear him talking
- 28:38Speaker 1: more than playing. All right, let's get to the one here.
- 28:40Speaker 6: He was upset about a roughing the passer call yesterday
- 28:43Speaker 6: in the game. I mean, he's more into the broadcasting
- 28:46Speaker 6: than he is playing.
- 28:47Speaker 1: I will say this. The Packers in general were more
- 28:49Speaker 1: concerned with the referees. The Panthers were concerned with flushing
- 28:53Speaker 1: it after their game. The Packers were concerned with blasting
- 28:57Speaker 1: the referees after their game. I don't know. Advantage us, maybe?
- 29:01Speaker 5: Yes.
- 29:01Speaker 1: We're moving on, and they're hung up on the Zebras.
- 29:03Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk about the cornerback situation. Dave
- 29:06Speaker 1: Kanellis yesterday, and this was before. This question was asked
- 29:09Speaker 1: in the presser before people knew a Caleb Evans had
- 29:13Speaker 1: a tricep injury. So you're going to hear Canales mention that,
- 29:16Speaker 1: but you're also, I think the question was initially about
- 29:18Speaker 1: Shaw Smith Wade, but Dave then gets into the other
- 29:22Speaker 1: options that they have. If Evans doesn't start on Thursday, just.
- 29:26Speaker 7: Opportunity, you know, um, we put a Caleb back out there, uh,
- 29:30Speaker 7: for another game. And, you know, he had, he had
- 29:33Speaker 7: really tight coverage on a pass interference. I thought it
- 29:35Speaker 7: was a good call, you know, um, uh, I think
- 29:38Speaker 7: it was, uh, was it Ted was the receiver on
- 29:40Speaker 7: that one?
- 29:42Speaker 8: Yeah. Tedders.
- 29:43Speaker 7: And, uh, he did a great job playing back into him,
- 29:45Speaker 7: but a Caleb had tight coverage on that play. Uh,
- 29:47Speaker 7: the scramble play touchdown, you know, he kind of lost, uh,
- 29:50Speaker 7: I think it was Johnson in the back half, you know,
- 29:52Speaker 7: he kind of lost him late on the scramble. Baker
- 29:54Speaker 7: does a great job buying time. We got heat on
- 29:56Speaker 7: him trays right there, you know, and he makes a
- 29:58Speaker 7: great throw. Um, But I thought AK was doing a
- 30:01Speaker 7: great job in terms of just stepping in there in
- 30:04Speaker 7: a time that we really needed him. And Shaw will
- 30:06Speaker 7: get his opportunity at some point. But again, we have
- 30:09Speaker 7: to take all these things into consideration, how we're using
- 30:11Speaker 7: guys in other phases as well.
- 30:13Speaker 6: So you guys sticking with Evans this week?
- 30:16Speaker 7: Evans is day-to-day right now, so we've got to see
- 30:18Speaker 7: some major progression on a short week. He's got an
- 30:21Speaker 7: arm tricep injury, so we're going to have to evaluate
- 30:23Speaker 7: that as it comes.
- 30:24Speaker 1: So there you go. We don't even know if he's
- 30:26Speaker 1: even available to play.
- 30:28Speaker 6: Is this one where they tell Evans he was injured
- 30:31Speaker 6: for this week?
- 30:32Speaker 1: You have a tricep. No, I feel good. Here's what
- 30:34Speaker 1: I don't get. Bench a grown man. Bench a grown
- 30:37Speaker 1: man and tell us, we're sorry. We got to bench
- 30:40Speaker 1: a grown man. They are so concerned with feelings, it
- 30:43Speaker 1: feels like, over there. I got to tell you right now,
- 30:45Speaker 1: grown men get fired at work. Grown men get demoted.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Grown men get reprimanded. What am I trying to say? Reprimanded. Reprimanded?
- 30:53Speaker 1: That too? Not reprehended. Like, I just, I don't understand.
- 30:57Speaker 1: It feels like they've been playing with kid gloves on them.
- 30:59Speaker 1: And I just, come on, man. Somebody doing a terrible
- 31:02Speaker 1: job announced to the world, I'm sorry, we got to
- 31:05Speaker 1: make a change. And again, I'm not fully talking about
- 31:07Speaker 1: this here because there's an injury and all that. But
- 31:09Speaker 1: it's just a tone I get. I just, I get
- 31:11Speaker 1: the feeling they're worried about feelings sometimes. Also. When guys
- 31:14Speaker 1: stink and they can't really, they dance around like talking
- 31:17Speaker 1: about it.
- 31:18Speaker 6: I do understand too with the tone after some of
- 31:20Speaker 6: the losses of.
- 31:22Speaker 1: the upbeat nature.
- 31:23Speaker 6: I want to hear canal was one time, but this
- 31:25Speaker 6: happens again, say no one in that locker. I kind of,
- 31:28Speaker 6: I know not coach speaking, but get, get that out
- 31:32Speaker 6: of there and just kind of say, nothing we did
- 31:34Speaker 6: today was acceptable.
- 31:36Speaker 1: We apologize to.
- 31:37Speaker 6: The fans that put their time in the money in
- 31:41Speaker 6: no one in that locker room, one through 53, the
- 31:43Speaker 6: coaching staff, the front office, no one did their job today.
- 31:47Speaker 6: And we're going to work our ass off to make
- 31:49Speaker 6: sure that never happens again. The fans didn't get their
- 31:52Speaker 6: money's worth. The fans didn't get their time worth of
- 31:55Speaker 6: that game there that they invested in it. Nothing today
- 31:58Speaker 6: was acceptable, and it's happened twice this year, counting the
- 32:00Speaker 6: second half of the Bears game, and we will not
- 32:02Speaker 6: let that happen again. Instead of, well, we got to
- 32:05Speaker 6: flush it. No, I want accountability to the public where
- 32:09Speaker 6: you say, we know how bad that was. We sucked today. Sometimes, Beck,
- 32:14Speaker 6: it's okay to say, we got our ass beat, and
- 32:16Speaker 6: we're going to work to get better.
- 32:18Speaker 1: That's why I spent half my day yesterday saying that.
- 32:21Speaker 1: I agree 100%. Why was the message from everybody, yeah,
- 32:26Speaker 1: we're just going to flush that and not think about that?
- 32:29Speaker 1: You mean the way the fans flush their money down
- 32:30Speaker 1: the toilet, essentially? So I'm with you 100%. You were
- 32:34Speaker 1: preaching to the choir yesterday.
- 32:36Speaker 6: On that i know that's not his nature per se
- 32:39Speaker 6: but i'd like to hear him say one time enough
- 32:41Speaker 6: go go full go full dan campbell get a little
- 32:45Speaker 6: fiery you don't need to freak out just say go
- 32:48Speaker 6: bite some kneecaps.
- 32:50Speaker 1: I mean again we're all grown individuals We all saw
- 32:54Speaker 1: it with our eyes. Like, you don't need to beat
- 32:56Speaker 1: around the bush and all this stuff. 22 points off turnovers.
- 32:59Speaker 1: And I told the guys it would be different. Like,
- 33:01Speaker 1: what are you coaching? Little League team? You got to
- 33:03Speaker 1: make sure they feel okay. We're all grown-ass or semi-grown-ass men.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Good morning, Fetty. Good morning to you, Bone. One of
- 33:11Speaker 1: these days, Phinney will get taller, man. Maybe, maybe.
- 33:14Speaker 4: Sure as hell keep getting wider.
- 33:16Speaker 1: By the way, I got some buzzards, some text message
- 33:19Speaker 1: buzzards circling for me here. They did not like what
- 33:23Speaker 1: I said, Bone, about GameFlow allowed Tampa to run the ball.
- 33:27Speaker 1: 48 times and and and run it over and over
- 33:30Speaker 1: again on us multiple people gotta be four or five
- 33:32Speaker 1: of you they ran it down our throats on the
- 33:34Speaker 1: first drive that's true i'm not again i'm not trying
- 33:37Speaker 1: i'm not i don't understand did i trigger y'all no
- 33:40Speaker 1: i'm not on here like we we again we can
- 33:43Speaker 1: all think through what i'm saying here and we don't
- 33:45Speaker 1: need to get true but anyway um what i'm what
- 33:47Speaker 1: i'm saying is If we don't fall behind that way,
- 33:51Speaker 1: they may actually have to throw a forward pass and
- 33:54Speaker 1: maybe one that actually travels 13 yards downfield. Like you
- 33:57Speaker 1: allowed them to dictate the game and play it the
- 34:00Speaker 1: way they want it. It's embarrassing the way they got
- 34:03Speaker 1: run on. But when you got down three scores and
- 34:06Speaker 1: you couldn't do anything to make it a game, like
- 34:09Speaker 1: you allowed them to play the game they wanted to play, man.
- 34:12Speaker 1: They were one stop away, Mac.
- 34:14Speaker 3: After they scored the touchdown, if the extra point doesn't
- 34:18Speaker 3: get blocked, it's 17-7.
- 34:21Speaker 4: You get one freaking stop. It's a ball game.
- 34:24Speaker 3: You see 17-7 all the time in the NFL. I
- 34:27Speaker 3: still thought at 17-0 we were going to win the game.
- 34:30Speaker 6: I thought they had a chance. They scored on RPFD.
- 34:35Speaker 6: If the defense can get one stop, our kick unit
- 34:37Speaker 6: couldn't get a stop.
- 34:38Speaker 3: By the way, speaking of that, Why are so many
- 34:41Speaker 3: people mad at the kicker for his extra point getting blocked?
- 34:43Speaker 1: Because he's been missing. What was he supposed to do?
- 34:45Speaker 3: He had three guys in his face.
- 34:47Speaker 1: That's five this year, right? That's why. It's his fifth
- 34:49Speaker 1: missed extra point. That wasn't his fault, though. But I
- 34:52Speaker 1: am with you 100%. I'm with you 100%.
- 34:54Speaker 3: If you want to complain, then complain about the right things.
- 34:57Speaker 3: It's not the kicker's fault his offensive line got its
- 35:00Speaker 3: ass kicked.
- 35:01Speaker 1: God. No, it's not. It's not. But it is. What
- 35:04Speaker 1: are you punching? What's with the punching of this desk?
- 35:07Speaker 1: This is my new thing. Wait till he breaks his
- 35:10Speaker 1: hand bone. Or he breaks the board. What are you punching?
- 35:14Speaker 4: There's like a metal thing that kind of sits on
- 35:16Speaker 4: top of the desk.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Dude, if he breaks something over there. Why are you punching? stuff.
- 35:19Speaker 1: I'll be laughing. We're supposed to be presentable today. Don't
- 35:22Speaker 1: break the board. Impulse control, Fitty. Impulse control.
- 35:25Speaker 4: It's usually the whiteboard I'm punching during games.
- 35:27Speaker 1: Where's Maddie? Maddie, talk to this man. Tell him to
- 35:30Speaker 1: control his emotions.
- 35:31Speaker 4: I think it's really cute you think she can get
- 35:33Speaker 4: me to calm down.
- 35:34Speaker 1: I think she should. I think a good woman, every man,
- 35:38Speaker 1: when he meets that certain woman in his life, she's
- 35:40Speaker 1: going to improve him.
- 35:41Speaker 4: I'm an uncaged animal. There's no point in this tiger
- 35:43Speaker 4: back in the den.
- 35:46Speaker 1: She's got this tiger ignoring sporting events, Bone, on Saturday night.
- 35:50Speaker 1: She got this tiger missing the first half of the
- 35:52Speaker 1: Heels game on Saturday night.
- 35:54Speaker 6: How are you traveling? How are you going to the
- 35:56Speaker 6: Heels game tonight? Is it Dancing with the Stars night tonight? Oh, man,
- 35:59Speaker 6: that's controversial.
- 36:00Speaker 1: DVR, baby. Oh, man. They're going to do it on
- 36:02Speaker 1: Wednesday night, Bone. Don't worry.
- 36:04Speaker 6: All right, we come back here on the Mac and
- 36:06Speaker 6: Bone radio show. Mac, we have a blank segment there
- 36:10Speaker 6: on this one here. What's coming up next, big dawg?
- 36:13Speaker 6: What's coming up next? College football talk.
- 36:15Speaker 1: We got the latest out of Raleigh, Bone Man, about
- 36:18Speaker 1: Dave Doran, who you're going to hear from pretty soon.
- 36:22Speaker 1: NC State fans, you've got some South Carolina stuff, Boney,
- 36:27Speaker 1: coming off the big win. And I wasn't prepared to
- 36:30Speaker 1: tease this because I didn't know I left a segment open.
- 36:32Speaker 1: College football coming up next.
- 36:33Speaker 7: Let's go.
- 36:53Speaker 5: The fact that his program, his players, the university, and
- 36:59Speaker 5: the community of Raleigh should definitely be appreciated and celebrated.
- 37:04Speaker 5: He approached every day with character, integrity, and an unmatched
- 37:07Speaker 5: work ethic that many didn't see. Myself and the coaching staff,
- 37:12Speaker 5: the players, the staff, Thank you. Truly, thank you from
- 37:15Speaker 5: the bottom of our heart by showing us how to
- 37:18Speaker 5: do hard stuff the right way. Each Saturday, we will
- 37:22Speaker 5: field this team that Coach Dorn will be proud of,
- 37:26Speaker 5: which will be hard, tough, and most importantly, together. Next,
- 37:31Speaker 5: I would like to thank Mr. Corrigan for allowing me
- 37:33Speaker 5: the opportunity to lead these great young men moving forward.
- 37:37Speaker 5: I do understand and respect the responsibility that goes along
- 37:40Speaker 5: with being the interim head coach here at NC State.
- 37:43Speaker 5: This organization will continue to do things the right way
- 37:47Speaker 5: on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.
- 37:52Speaker 1: That is Todd Goble. He was, a few days ago,
- 37:55Speaker 1: the special teams coach at NC State. He is now
- 38:00Speaker 1: the interim head coach at NC State, and you would
- 38:03Speaker 1: expect it, Bone. He's been with Dave Dorn for seven years.
- 38:06Speaker 1: You would expect that. that right there. There's no way
- 38:09Speaker 1: he's going to take to the podium and say, now
- 38:11Speaker 1: I'm in charge, everybody. Got that dude. You know what
- 38:13Speaker 1: I mean? There's going to be a respect for the
- 38:15Speaker 1: guy that brought him in and the guy that he
- 38:17Speaker 1: worked under. And he showed that yesterday. I'm sure he's
- 38:19Speaker 1: excited for the opportunity. Heard CJ Bailey talking about the
- 38:23Speaker 1: change yesterday and how shocked he was for it to
- 38:26Speaker 1: happen in season. I think, I think, I don't think
- 38:32Speaker 1: that it happened as surprising, especially after that loss the
- 38:35Speaker 1: other night. That game was watching that defense the other
- 38:38Speaker 1: night and what has happened to this defense.
- 38:39Speaker 6: It was trending in the wrong direction even before the
- 38:42Speaker 6: Stanford game.
- 38:43Speaker 1: But midseason, though, is the thing that gets me. And
- 38:47Speaker 1: a lot of the talk, Bone, in Raleigh is about
- 38:51Speaker 1: the fact that they're not doing a press conference anymore.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Boo Corrigan is not holding a press conference where he
- 38:59Speaker 1: explains what, you know, why did I do this? Why
- 39:02Speaker 1: did I make this move? Why in the season? And
- 39:05Speaker 1: that combined with Andy Staples saying twice in his podcast
- 39:10Speaker 1: the other day that NC State is going to make
- 39:13Speaker 1: a change in athletic director. Nobody even locally like. had
- 39:17Speaker 1: any intel on that. And Andy Stables just threw it
- 39:19Speaker 1: out like it was fact. This is making a lot
- 39:22Speaker 1: of people think that Boo Corrigan is not holding a
- 39:25Speaker 1: presser because either A, he's going to be gone too soon,
- 39:29Speaker 1: or B, he's not the one that made the decision.
- 39:33Speaker 6: Yeah, very interesting set of circumstances there. And part of that,
- 39:39Speaker 6: that I believe Joe Ovias brought up yesterday, that no
- 39:43Speaker 6: presser for Boo. And Dave Doran will have a Zoom
- 39:47Speaker 6: presser or whatever today, a Zoom presser. meeting today with
- 39:50Speaker 6: the media at 4 o'clock today. So you're going to
- 39:53Speaker 6: hear from Dave Doran before you hear the NC State
- 39:56Speaker 6: side of things, if you ever will.
- 39:58Speaker 1: Yeah, you're getting the feeling NC State is going to
- 40:01Speaker 1: talk about this in the future. So definitely makes me
- 40:04Speaker 1: wonder if this was something, Bone, that the big money
- 40:07Speaker 1: donors did or the chancellor did and Boo Corrigan did
- 40:11Speaker 1: not do. It definitely makes you feel like, oh, Boo.
- 40:15Speaker 1: I mean, does Boo make it to Halloween? It's his
- 40:19Speaker 1: busiest time of the year. He better at least let
- 40:21Speaker 1: the man be around for his holiday. All right, on Saturday, y'all.
- 40:24Speaker 6: This is great news for you. You can't have your
- 40:27Speaker 6: Thanksgiving weekend ruined by Dave Doran this year.
- 40:31Speaker 1: We're going to ruin it anyway. We're going to beat
- 40:33Speaker 1: him this year. Talk all that trash, Fiddy, now. Here's
- 40:36Speaker 1: what you say now, Fiddy. He was never going to
- 40:38Speaker 1: beat us again. Belichick's got this thing to a level. Well, maybe.
- 40:42Speaker 1: I don't know about Saturday night. And he wouldn't lose again.
- 40:44Speaker 1: Damn straight. Oh, my God. The fact that Fiddy did
- 40:49Speaker 1: that with a straight face does show Bone that he could,
- 40:52Speaker 1: quite frankly, be a serial killer. I mean, the fact
- 40:55Speaker 1: he said that with a straight face is scary.
- 40:57Speaker 6: One of the great compliments I can give Fiddy in
- 40:59Speaker 6: his role, he's a great liar.
- 41:04Speaker 1: Well played fitty well played sir um so anyway that's
- 41:07Speaker 1: the nc state drama and we wait to see does
- 41:11Speaker 1: anything happen on the philip rivers front do you know
- 41:14Speaker 1: what what about other candidates uh two guys bone you
- 41:17Speaker 1: know they made this move early to probably get out
- 41:19Speaker 1: front um two guys that have the time to interview
- 41:23Speaker 1: that are being mentioned i notice brian kelly And Jimbo Fisher.
- 41:28Speaker 3: Ooh.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Well, I wonder, would that do anything for state fans?
- 41:31Speaker 1: Or is it rivers or bust right now for state fans?
- 41:35Speaker 1: That's a state fan question. I don't know.
- 41:37Speaker 6: Brian Kelly matching wits with Bill Belichick would be really
- 41:42Speaker 6: something in the triangle, though, wouldn't it?
- 41:44Speaker 1: Two just lovable individuals, man. Seriously, just warm, lovable individuals.
- 41:49Speaker 6: Bill Belichick, the giant from the north, and the southern gentleman,
- 41:54Speaker 6: Brian Kelly.
- 41:56Speaker 4: Do you think he's going to be in demand for
- 41:57Speaker 4: jobs this offseason?
- 41:58Speaker 1: Because you've got Maryland open, you've got state.
- 42:01Speaker 3: Baylor, but there's a lot of smoke about Lincoln Riley
- 42:04Speaker 3: maybe ends up at Baylor. Do you think Brian Kelly
- 42:07Speaker 3: is going to be in demand, or do you think
- 42:08Speaker 3: he was so bad at LSU?
- 42:10Speaker 1: No, demand is a strong word. Demand is a strong word.
- 42:13Speaker 1: I think he will get a job, though, I feel like.
- 42:15Speaker 6: I mean, I could see him at Maryland, but as
- 42:16Speaker 6: we were talking about off the air the other day,
- 42:18Speaker 6: Maryland is a job. Will anyone ever succeed there? I
- 42:22Speaker 6: feel like you go to Maryland to never have more
- 42:25Speaker 6: than three or four years.
- 42:26Speaker 1: His career is taking a drop-off, right? The job he
- 42:28Speaker 1: gets is going to not look any bit like Notre
- 42:31Speaker 1: Dame or LSU. I do want to mention, Bone, South Carolina.
- 42:36Speaker 1: I'm sure they find this money to be completely worth it,
- 42:39Speaker 1: but the SEC fined them $ 500, 000 for the field storm
- 42:44Speaker 1: the other day. Very impressive field storm as well. Yeah,
- 42:47Speaker 1: they were thinking buyout for Beamer.
- 42:49Speaker 6: Now they're using that money to pay off the fines.
- 42:52Speaker 1: That's true. We were trying to put some money aside anyway.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Now this is what we have to do. They also, Bone,
- 42:59Speaker 1: the fans might have gotten some bruises during that field
- 43:02Speaker 1: storm as well. Multiple videos and angles of players from Tennessee.
- 43:07Speaker 1: There's one with a staffer of Tennessee, like, shoving fans down. So, again,
- 43:13Speaker 1: you don't know if fans are yelling at the player
- 43:15Speaker 1: or not. But if, you know what I mean? Or
- 43:19Speaker 1: if they're just trying to run out with their friends
- 43:21Speaker 1: and these dudes shove them down. But that's not an ideal.
- 43:23Speaker 1: And that's the big fear, man. The big fear is
- 43:26Speaker 1: that a player literally punches the crap out of a
- 43:29Speaker 1: fan one time, right? Or there's a fight between a
- 43:31Speaker 1: player and a fan.
- 43:32Speaker 6: Or a player gets injured severely like Kyle Filipowski did
- 43:35Speaker 6: on the basketball side. Like Kyle Filipowski. That pretty much,
- 43:38Speaker 6: you know, altered his life in a lot of ways.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Oh, man. Did you see the Norvell? What am I
- 43:43Speaker 1: talking about? Narduzzi and Cristobal handshake after Miami routed Pittsburgh?
- 43:51Speaker 6: I saw Narduzzi talking about it. I never actually saw
- 43:54Speaker 6: what occurred, though. Do you get to enlighten me on
- 43:56Speaker 6: this one? Narduzzi acted like it was a normal handshake.
- 43:58Speaker 6: I told him, go win the whole title. There's no
- 44:01Speaker 6: secret there's bad blood there. Miami came after his quarterback,
- 44:08Speaker 6: Mason Heinzel, before he came after Mensah. They couldn't pry
- 44:12Speaker 6: him away from Pittsburgh. And Pat Narduzzi has had no
- 44:17Speaker 6: problem talking about it publicly and calling Miami out. And
- 44:21Speaker 6: then Miami goes out there and breaks off Pittsburgh. So
- 44:24Speaker 6: they go to do the handshake, these two macho men,
- 44:27Speaker 6: and they are having a hand pat off. They are
- 44:31Speaker 6: like shaking hands, but with the other hand. You know
- 44:34Speaker 6: how you pat?
- 44:35Speaker 1: Yeah. How you doing, man? But it like Cristobal at
- 44:39Speaker 1: the end ends it with a giant, the former O-lineman
- 44:41Speaker 1: that he was with a giant hand pat on Narduzzi.
- 44:45Speaker 1: But Narduzzi wanted to keep things chill because he was like, ah,
- 44:48Speaker 1: normal handshake.
- 44:49Speaker 6: I think Narduzzi was upset, Matt, because Heichel was walking
- 44:51Speaker 6: from the other sidelines.
- 44:53Speaker 1: What are you doing over there in Miami? What? I'm
- 44:55Speaker 1: just hanging out. No, you're on our side. Oh, my God. Now,
- 44:58Speaker 1: Dave Aranda, Baylor also was fired. And RG3 is telling
- 45:02Speaker 1: the whole world, I want to be the head coach
- 45:03Speaker 1: of my alma mater. So we've got that. So I
- 45:06Speaker 1: guess is he like, if NC State's considering Phillip Rivers,
- 45:10Speaker 1: why the heck not?
- 45:11Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess anything's free game right now. By the way, Michael,
- 45:14Speaker 6: also some talk of... Is Deion Sanders in trouble at Colorado?
- 45:19Speaker 1: Oh, he's in trouble. Yes. I don't know about his
- 45:21Speaker 1: job status, but he is in a whole hell of
- 45:23Speaker 1: a lot of trouble.
- 45:23Speaker 6: Yeah, it could be ending pretty soon for Deion. Boy,
- 45:26Speaker 6: how quickly things turn, huh? And there's another Matt Cursor.
- 45:29Speaker 6: I came on here when Deion had that thing going
- 45:32Speaker 6: a couple of years back. and said this dude's eloquent
- 45:36Speaker 6: this dude is charismatic players want to play for him
- 45:39Speaker 6: this dude is gonna kill it at colorado i think
- 45:42Speaker 6: his winning percentage is 12 after that comment that be
- 45:45Speaker 6: a spot for a guy like brian kelly i wonder
- 45:48Speaker 6: a place like colorado yeah that's possible it's not quite
- 45:51Speaker 6: the job not the prestige of lsu and notre dame
- 45:53Speaker 6: but it's still somewhere that they maybe thinks he can
- 45:56Speaker 6: win that i wonder if that would be a spot
- 45:58Speaker 6: for matt matt and state fans don't like the idea
- 46:00Speaker 6: though bone No, I'm seeing that.
- 46:02Speaker 1: Matt in Greensboro. If State hires Brian Kelly, I might
- 46:05Speaker 1: switch to be a Heels fan.
- 46:07Speaker 2: No, thanks.
- 46:07Speaker 1: We're good. It could be less painful. We don't want
- 46:10Speaker 1: Goodwill's leftovers. Matt, they're bringing up the last time they
- 46:13Speaker 1: hired someone that was at LSU. It was Will Wade.
- 46:15Speaker 3: Touche!
- 46:18Speaker 6: All right, we come back here on the Mac and
- 46:20Speaker 6: Bone Show. What from the Panthers' debacle on Sunday are
- 46:24Speaker 6: we afraid will repeat itself throughout the season? That discussion's next.
- 46:29Speaker 6: And Bretton Buckner, 725 on Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
