Transcript
- 0:13Speaker 1: We lost three games by eleven points. We lost two
- 0:16Speaker 1: games on the last play of the game. You know,
- 0:18Speaker 1: we're one hundred and fifty one and seven all the
- 0:20Speaker 1: way back to twenty ten when we lead in the
- 0:22Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Two of those seven or last year, so
- 0:26Speaker 1: we didn't finish in the fourth quarter. We didn't We
- 0:28Speaker 1: lead the nation. We're number one hundred and thirty eight schools.
- 0:30Speaker 1: We're number one all the way back fifteen years. In
- 0:33Speaker 1: one score games, we're one, and then it's either Georgia Tech,
- 0:38Speaker 1: I mean Georgia or Ohio States two or three. So
- 0:43Speaker 1: we've been We've won close games. I've had some twelve
- 0:45Speaker 1: and o teams that were four plays from being eight
- 0:47Speaker 1: and four, all right, And so we didn't win the
- 0:50Speaker 1: close games. We didn't finish in the fourth quarter. We
- 0:53Speaker 1: didn't run the ball effectively. We played the worst pass
- 0:56Speaker 1: defense in my coaching career. So that's my fault. But
- 1:00Speaker 1: it's football stuff. It's football stuff, and so that's our focus.
- 1:04Speaker 1: We got to fix the football stuff. You get what
- 1:06Speaker 1: you earn.
- 1:09Speaker 2: There you go. That's Tabo himself yesterday live here in
- 1:13Speaker 2: Charlotte acc kickoff, and he's right, man. They were in
- 1:16Speaker 2: some of these games they didn't win, and yes, they
- 1:19Speaker 2: won numerous ones in the past. I'm ready for twenty
- 1:23Speaker 2: twenty six Clemson. I mean, to Dabo's credit, he has
- 1:26Speaker 2: done a ton of talking. He has owned up. You
- 1:29Speaker 2: heard him say there we didn't finish games, and that's
- 1:32Speaker 2: on me. He has been very accountable all off season fitny.
- 1:35Speaker 2: He has done a national interview tour from Josh Pate
- 1:39Speaker 2: to Greg McElroy and I think there's a couple others
- 1:41Speaker 2: in there as well, Like he wants to get his
- 1:43Speaker 2: message out, don't But also part of the message too
- 1:46Speaker 2: is hey, don't forget about I won eleven titles in
- 1:49Speaker 2: fifteen years. Like it's just he reads his resume, he
- 1:53Speaker 2: apologizes for last year. He is accountable. It's just I'm
- 1:56Speaker 2: ready for twenty twenty six. Clemson been accountable. But I'm
- 2:01Speaker 2: tired of the I'm kind of tired of the yapp
- 2:04Speaker 2: and like, let's show me, show me that this team
- 2:08Speaker 2: will be better and that this team, you know, with
- 2:11Speaker 2: less talented last year, will be a better team than
- 2:14Speaker 2: last year. And I actually think they will be fitty.
- 2:16Speaker 2: But it's like we got and listen, I know it's
- 2:19Speaker 2: I'm not saying you know, I'm not really I'm not
- 2:21Speaker 2: trying to rip Dabbo or anything. But it's just like,
- 2:23Speaker 2: my god, he's yapped the lot. Now, I know you
- 2:26Speaker 2: feel working with me.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Well, fair point. I'm gonna start taking the Dabo approach
- 2:31Speaker 3: back to the dating scene. I'm gonna start reading off
- 2:34Speaker 3: of my resume, talking about all that I've accomplished in
- 2:37Speaker 3: the dating world. But but own my shortcomings, own my failures.
- 2:42Speaker 3: But let it be known that I am ready to
- 2:44Speaker 3: settle down and be the man of a particular.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Woman like da Everybody should handle failure like Dabo.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Uh.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Yes, I failed, and it's been rough. You can say
- 2:53Speaker 2: it's been a rough four years. I got a slunk
- 2:55Speaker 2: going right now. But let me tell you about that
- 2:56Speaker 2: girl I was in a relationship with for three weeks.
- 2:58Speaker 2: My god, it was a great three weeks.
- 3:00Speaker 3: It was only three weeks.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I don't know, is that what it was. I was
- 3:04Speaker 2: just guessing. I was guessing how long they might be
- 3:06Speaker 2: able to tolerate you. Fitting All right, Clemson Gory says,
- 3:09Speaker 2: I'm ready to brother LFG. All right, so let's do
- 3:12Speaker 2: this just like we did with State yesterday in this segment,
- 3:15Speaker 2: in this seven o'clock segment. It was Dabbo Day yesterday.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Let's celebrate. Let's talk about the twenty twenty six Clemson Tigers.
- 3:23Speaker 2: I will say this for Dabo is the expectations that
- 3:28Speaker 2: Clemson became what they are because of Dabo's success. Now
- 3:33Speaker 2: I'm doing it too, Clems. I mean those that stretch
- 3:37Speaker 2: of about four years where it was either them or
- 3:40Speaker 2: Alabama winning it. I mean I never would have thought.
- 3:44Speaker 2: I mean I remember, I mean, Dabo's already long since
- 3:47Speaker 2: prove me wrong about him regards of what I say
- 3:48Speaker 2: in the present. I just looked at that hire and thought,
- 3:52Speaker 2: what the heck are they doing. I remember talking to
- 3:55Speaker 2: Brenston Buckner, who loves his Tigers, and he was kind
- 3:58Speaker 2: of thinking, I don't know about that. So and Dabbo,
- 4:01Speaker 2: there were a lot of doubters and back then and
- 4:05Speaker 2: maybe Dabo can you know he keeps trying to bring
- 4:07Speaker 2: up twenty ten? Right? They won six games that year,
- 4:09Speaker 2: they lost a lot of close games. The next year
- 4:11Speaker 2: they win the ACC And by the way, what they
- 4:13Speaker 2: do the next year they brought in Chad Morris. I
- 4:15Speaker 2: almost wonder is he trying to recreate he brings up
- 4:18Speaker 2: twenty ten? To twenty eleven. So much is he bringing
- 4:21Speaker 2: in Chad Morris almost to try to recreate that transition
- 4:24Speaker 2: where they improved so much from a down year to
- 4:27Speaker 2: that good year. I think they're definitely gonna be better, Fitty,
- 4:31Speaker 2: But like you're saying, ten wins, I just can't. I
- 4:35Speaker 2: can't get there. I do like their skill guys, obviously,
- 4:39Speaker 2: west Coat, TJ. Moore, Tristan Smith won his eligibility. I
- 4:43Speaker 2: like pat Henry t at the tight end. I love
- 4:46Speaker 2: the addition of Johnson Chris Johnson Junior from SMU as
- 4:51Speaker 2: a running back. I think Gideon Davidson should have been
- 4:53Speaker 2: used more last year. I think he's a big time talent.
- 4:57Speaker 2: The defense is interesting, though, Fitty, What are we supposed
- 5:00Speaker 2: to think about this defense? They had all that talent
- 5:02Speaker 2: last year and they they were a dud. Dabo's right.
- 5:07Speaker 2: It was the worst pass defense Clemson's had since he's
- 5:10Speaker 2: been the coach there. It was atrocious. The guys, the
- 5:13Speaker 2: studs upfront didn't bring it the way that we thought
- 5:16Speaker 2: they were going to bring in And here we are
- 5:19Speaker 2: to this year. I love help and I love why
- 5:24Speaker 2: am I blanket on the damn line? My man's Sammy Brown.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Sam Why the heck I love Sammy Brown? Why am
- 5:29Speaker 2: I a blanket? I love Sammy Brown? But fiddy, they
- 5:31Speaker 2: brought in nine transfers on defense alone. They are counting
- 5:35Speaker 2: on a lot of new guys. And by the way,
- 5:38Speaker 2: I love Dabo going into the portal. But do we
- 5:40Speaker 2: know that this program and staff is good at evaluating
- 5:43Speaker 2: transfer talent. We haven't seen this before, so they're gonna
- 5:47Speaker 2: need all those transfers to hit. I don't know, man,
- 5:50Speaker 2: Like I think they're good. I think they're better than
- 5:53Speaker 2: last year. But like, I can't get to your ten
- 5:55Speaker 2: win number. Are you saying ten wins should be the
- 5:58Speaker 2: expectation or is that you your prediction?
- 6:01Speaker 3: I think it should be both. I mean, this is
- 6:03Speaker 3: Clemson football, Mac, You're you're okay. Last year you were
- 6:06Speaker 3: seven and six, but you're not too far removed from
- 6:09Speaker 3: winning the ACC Championship again, and you know, competing at
- 6:13Speaker 3: a really high level with Texas on the road and
- 6:16Speaker 3: that college football playoff game. What's interesting about the defense
- 6:22Speaker 3: is the messaging coming out of their program where where
- 6:25Speaker 3: Allen is basically saying he likes this group more because
- 6:29Speaker 3: they seem to be more bought in more committed and
- 6:32Speaker 3: they fit what I want to do. We thought that
- 6:35Speaker 3: was a home run. Defensive coordinator higher because he was
- 6:38Speaker 3: a really good head coach. We know what he was
- 6:40Speaker 3: able to do with his defenses before he became a
- 6:43Speaker 3: head coach, but that didn't translate her during his time
- 6:46Speaker 3: in Clemson. And but you still saw, you know a
- 6:50Speaker 3: handful of those guys on the defensive side of the
- 6:52Speaker 3: ball get drafted, which tells you the NFL value them.
- 6:54Speaker 3: But why didn't it work? Maybe at the at the collegi.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Un you're achieved so badly. I know it's his second year,
- 7:01Speaker 2: he gets his feet, but he has so many new pieces.
- 7:04Speaker 2: He was good at Penn State, There's no doubt about that.
- 7:06Speaker 2: He was good run but he had a lot of
- 7:08Speaker 2: talent there at Penn State. And then on with Chad Morris,
- 7:11Speaker 2: What do y'all make a Chad Morris like? If you're
- 7:13Speaker 2: a Clemson fan, and I guess the biggest question is
- 7:15Speaker 2: what is the expectation now? Like Fitty's saying, you're Clemson
- 7:20Speaker 2: football under Dabo Sweeney, go out there and get ten wins?
- 7:23Speaker 2: Is that how y'all feel? We've got a Texter here?
- 7:26Speaker 2: Seven oh four number says, I'm a diehard Clemson fan.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I love Dabo, but if you're not playing for the
- 7:33Speaker 2: ACC title game, you have failed this season. Another texter says,
- 7:39Speaker 2: is it wrong that I now He says, I'm not
- 7:41Speaker 2: a Clemson fan, But is it wrong that I now
- 7:44Speaker 2: just expect them win eight or nine and you had
- 7:47Speaker 2: a good season. I don't. That's not gonna sit with
- 7:50Speaker 2: Clemson fans though, Like I did ask for Clemson fans
- 7:53Speaker 2: and non Clemson fans to weigh in, like with what
- 7:55Speaker 2: the expectation should be.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing with that guy saying, I for
- 8:00Speaker 3: them to win eight to nine games and you have
- 8:02Speaker 3: a good.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Season, that's what I expect them to win, but should personally.
- 8:05Speaker 2: But should that be considered enough?
- 8:07Speaker 3: No, it should not, because Mac, you know what schools
- 8:09Speaker 3: talk about eight and nine wins being good enough. That's
- 8:12Speaker 3: how Carolina and State fans talk. We'd love to win
- 8:15Speaker 3: eight to nine games, be in the mix. That's what
- 8:19Speaker 3: those two fan bases on a year in, year out
- 8:22Speaker 3: basis demands and expect from their program. Matt, we're talking
- 8:25Speaker 3: about a program that's won three national championships. That's one
- 8:29Speaker 3: a number of ACC titles, that's gone to the playoff
- 8:31Speaker 3: in the four team era and the twelve team era
- 8:34Speaker 3: that's produced high draft picks in the NFL draft. So No.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Eight and Nine should never be good enough. Best is
- 8:41Speaker 3: the standard. That's that's their motto. That's that's the thing
- 8:43Speaker 3: that Dabo and Dabo created that standard. Here's something Sometimes
- 8:48Speaker 3: you fall short. It's a different game though. It's a
- 8:50Speaker 3: completely different game and world in college football now than
- 8:54Speaker 3: when Dabo was co king of college football with Nick Saban.
- 8:58Speaker 3: So do we have to adjust stabo expectations because he
- 9:03Speaker 3: doesn't seem to fit the modern game as much as
- 9:06Speaker 3: he fit the game back then? Or this guy says, uh,
- 9:10Speaker 3: people are adjusting to the new Dabbo.
- 9:14Speaker 2: He's not what he used to be. If he's not
- 9:17Speaker 2: what he used to be, Clemson should fire his butt.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I just wonder what do you mean by he's not
- 9:22Speaker 2: what he used to be? Can you watch Have you
- 9:24Speaker 2: watched the program lately?
- 9:26Speaker 3: No, I'm saying like, like Dabo himself is not what
- 9:28Speaker 3: he used to be. Are you saying that he's not
- 9:30Speaker 3: like he isn't driven to win championships and he doesn't
- 9:33Speaker 3: want to win.
- 9:34Speaker 2: That was from a Texter, So I don't know what
- 9:35Speaker 2: he's saying. That's what what I'm saying is, I don't
- 9:39Speaker 2: expect Clemson football to be playing for a national championship
- 9:43Speaker 2: under Dabo Sweeney. Ever. Again, I don't expect that to happen.
- 9:47Speaker 2: I don't expect them to be in the final four
- 9:50Speaker 2: of a college football playoff ever again. Now is that harsh?
- 9:52Speaker 2: I don't know, y'all, let me know, but I do
- 9:56Speaker 2: think that they are probably Now, I could see nine
- 10:00Speaker 2: wins this year because their schedule starts off or they
- 10:02Speaker 2: play the LSU game. I wouldn't even show up, to
- 10:05Speaker 2: be honest with you, But the LSU game, I don't
- 10:07Speaker 2: think they're gonna win. But they have five of the
- 10:09Speaker 2: next six at home. They have a chance get off
- 10:12Speaker 2: to a good start. They get Miami at home, they
- 10:15Speaker 2: don't play they don't play SMU or Louisville. I could
- 10:19Speaker 2: see them in the ACC title game. But what I
- 10:21Speaker 2: can't see I can Dabbo adjust enough fitty to be
- 10:30Speaker 2: great again? And should we expect greatness? Like should Clemson fans?
- 10:35Speaker 2: Here's another guy? And is it none Clemson fans or
- 10:38Speaker 2: Clemson fans are saying this? We have a Texter if
- 10:41Speaker 2: Dabo Sweeney can't bring the program back to where he
- 10:43Speaker 2: had it, Go find someone that can. But it's not
- 10:46Speaker 2: that easy. No one has ever had Clemson football the
- 10:49Speaker 2: way it was. Yeah, Danny Ford won a title, but
- 10:51Speaker 2: no one had a stretch like Dabo Sweeney had.
- 10:54Speaker 3: No, they haven't.
- 10:55Speaker 2: So you hold him to that standard, Fitty, and if not,
- 10:57Speaker 2: fire him.
- 10:58Speaker 3: If you're saying and never like if you can't see
- 11:03Speaker 3: a world in a world where Dabbo gets Clemson back
- 11:06Speaker 3: to what they were from twenty fifteen through twenty twenty,
- 11:09Speaker 3: I just.
- 11:09Speaker 2: It's a new game, man, Nil Portal. What you're embracing
- 11:15Speaker 2: it more.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Than what you're saying is is that he was never
- 11:18Speaker 3: really as great of a coach as we thought he
- 11:21Speaker 3: was great.
- 11:22Speaker 2: But he was great for that because we.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Have seen other coaches adapt as the sport has adapted.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Nick Nick Sabn gave up.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Okay, he may have retired.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Kirby Smart's been able to make that try. Smarts made
- 11:33Speaker 2: the transition.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Every Ryan Day's been able to make the transition in
- 11:37Speaker 3: terms of being able to stay at that playoff level.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Gase, he was a great coach, but he fit that
- 11:41Speaker 2: era better Like you don't you don't agree with this,
- 11:44Speaker 2: so you think he can easily become like that great
- 11:48Speaker 2: in the Nil era. I just I don't think it's
- 11:50Speaker 2: his style. It depends on how great he's culture. He's continuity,
- 11:55Speaker 2: and I'm not sure you can win that way. And
- 11:58Speaker 2: I also don't know. Now they've gone out and they
- 11:59Speaker 2: brought in eleven transfers, but I'm not sure, like is
- 12:03Speaker 2: that Are they going to be good at that? Are
- 12:04Speaker 2: they gonna be good at bringing a new crew in
- 12:07Speaker 2: every year? His best is when he had continuity, you know,
- 12:11Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
- 12:11Speaker 3: I'm just saying, Like you know, the like the all
- 12:13Speaker 3: time great coaches, like the all time greats, they adapt
- 12:17Speaker 3: as their sport changes. Look at how Roy Williams coach
- 12:20Speaker 3: k Look look how those coaches adapted as college basketball changed.
- 12:24Speaker 3: For when they broke in as head coaches in the
- 12:26Speaker 3: late seventies, late eighties to even when they were tired.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Like everyone thinks that those guys quit because of Nil
- 12:31Speaker 3: in the transfer portal, Maybe they were just guys that
- 12:33Speaker 3: got tired and got old. Like I think had they
- 12:36Speaker 3: stayed in the sport, I think those two guys would
- 12:38Speaker 3: have adapted to the way that the sport was being rans.
- 12:41Speaker 2: So you just think so you don't believe what the
- 12:45Speaker 2: what the narrative is about Dabbo is he's not fit
- 12:47Speaker 2: for this era. You don't believe that, Yes he has
- 12:50Speaker 2: thought that era, it does. It doesn't feel like he
- 12:52Speaker 2: has embraced this era. Will you at least unacknowledge that?
- 12:55Speaker 3: And you think me switch and to me that thinks
- 12:58Speaker 3: that if he's never gonna be able to get to
- 13:00Speaker 3: get Clemson back, then whenever I'm viewing his greatness, I
- 13:04Speaker 3: view his greatness differently because the great coaches they adapt
- 13:07Speaker 3: to the climate of their sport. I believed in what
- 13:12Speaker 3: he was doing.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Some coaches are just right for a certain era. Though
- 13:15Speaker 2: some coaches are just great. I understand your point, But
- 13:17Speaker 2: some coaches are just great in a certain era. Yeah,
- 13:20Speaker 2: maybe he wouldn't be the same in another era.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Maybe he was like the equival Bowen in high school.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Maybe he peaked at them in twenty tens. I don't know.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Butterbeer says, I don't know if Saban gave up. Saban
- 13:31Speaker 2: didn't deal with this crap because you know what Saban
- 13:33Speaker 2: saw happening. Saban saw what has happened happened that they
- 13:37Speaker 2: can't accumulate fitty too deep of five stars, three deep
- 13:43Speaker 2: of five stars. They can't do that. He saw this coming.
- 13:46Speaker 2: That's my opinion on Nick Saban is that he saw
- 13:48Speaker 2: the writing on the wall that this NIL game was
- 13:51Speaker 2: going to change the sport and you can't have these
- 13:54Speaker 2: dominant rosters that he would put together anymore because five
- 13:57Speaker 2: star D linemen are not going to sit there and
- 13:59Speaker 2: be backups for two years. They're gonna go get paid
- 14:01Speaker 2: to play somewhere else. And that's what's happened, and I
- 14:03Speaker 2: think it's created more parody in the sport. But like,
- 14:06Speaker 2: if you think Nick Saban would be just as dominant
- 14:08Speaker 2: in the NIL era, I think there's no chance in
- 14:10Speaker 2: hell that he would be. He could not accumulate all
- 14:14Speaker 2: that talent and keep it there, you know, no. So anyway,
- 14:19Speaker 2: but let's get back to the Clemson side of things.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Now we've made Alabama fans, man, Now Clemson fans are
- 14:24Speaker 2: getting worked up seven oh four, five, seven oh nine,
- 14:27Speaker 2: six ten. If you want to jump in here, like
- 14:30Speaker 2: what should the expectations be for Clemson this year? In
- 14:35Speaker 2: twenty twenty six? Drew Is, a Clemson fan, says gonna
- 14:38Speaker 2: play with an improved d with Tom Allen's second year,
- 14:42Speaker 2: the Riley k debacle is over from a year ago,
- 14:44Speaker 2: Optimistic about the return of Chad worked okay last time,
- 14:49Speaker 2: going to play with a boulder sized chip. That right
- 14:52Speaker 2: there as a hell of a point, though they need
- 14:55Speaker 2: to come back. Dabo talks about culture all the time,
- 14:59Speaker 2: that we Clemson is about culture. Now, I personally think
- 15:03Speaker 2: in the nil era it's harder to keep that culture
- 15:05Speaker 2: because you can't keep saying people around. Back to my point,
- 15:08Speaker 2: but if they've got culture, go out there and show it.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Play angry this year, go out there and play angry.
- 15:16Speaker 2: And I give you as the final part of this segment,
- 15:19Speaker 2: I give you Greg McElroy talking about that very same thing.
- 15:22Speaker 2: The culture of Clemson has to re emerge as a
- 15:26Speaker 2: strength man and I think it can. I think it can.
- 15:29Speaker 2: But when I say that, Fitty, I'm talking like nine
- 15:31Speaker 2: wins and you're in contention for the ACC title game,
- 15:35Speaker 2: you know. But anyway, here's Greg McElroy.
- 15:37Speaker 5: Here's the thing that's about Clemson, Like Clemson's secret sauces culture,
- 15:41Speaker 5: Like that is what they are. That's what Dabble believes
- 15:44Speaker 5: in and last year in a year that was supposed
- 15:46Speaker 5: to be their breakthrough. Hey, we were building towards this.
- 15:49Speaker 5: They get punched in the mouth week one, and they
- 15:52Speaker 5: don't recover and they stumble out of the gates and
- 15:53Speaker 5: look awful in the first six seven games of the season. Well,
- 15:56Speaker 5: culture supposed to be able to absorb that punch and
- 15:59Speaker 5: start punching back.
- 16:00Speaker 2: They didn't.
- 16:01Speaker 5: So now I think making sure that Culture is not
- 16:04Speaker 5: a liability moving forward, making sure that culture is still
- 16:07Speaker 5: their secret sauce, and allowing them to weather the storm,
- 16:10Speaker 5: which they couldn't do last year which led to a
- 16:12Speaker 5: very disappointing start to the season.
- 16:15Speaker 2: There you go, and that's what I'm talking about. Like
- 16:17Speaker 2: show that I believe that the culture has been a
- 16:20Speaker 2: strong point of Dabo's program. Can they show that this year?
- 16:24Speaker 2: I'm rooting for them. Some of y'all are mad at me.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Clemson fan Moob root for them to turn it back around.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Bubba from Stanley County says Clemson will have a better
- 16:31Speaker 2: defense after losing a whole bunch of NFL players. Okay, buddy,
- 16:36Speaker 2: so he ain't buying what Clemson Drew is talking about.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I will see it's gonna be fun They're gonna be
- 16:41Speaker 2: fun to watch, and my god, they start off with
- 16:44Speaker 2: a banger at LSU in week one. All right, when
- 16:47Speaker 2: we come back, I sound like Nick Saban I I.
- 16:51Speaker 2: When we come back, we're gonna talk some Carolina Panther football.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Joe Person and the athletic are out again. Are at
- 16:58Speaker 2: it again. They have put out their fan survey. They
- 17:01Speaker 2: do this every summer. The questions are great. Panther Fitty
- 17:05Speaker 2: and I are going to go through this and fill
- 17:08Speaker 2: this out live on the air. The answers to the
- 17:12Speaker 2: Panther fan questions coming up next. Sports Radio ninety two seven,
- 17:33Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety two seven, WFNZ. You do something over there, Fiddy?
- 17:41Speaker 3: No? Why? All right?
- 17:44Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a pro here. Mack and Bone show
- 17:46Speaker 2: Bone Man in Nashville. It's me and the fifth Fuck.
- 17:50Speaker 3: What are you giggling about over there?
- 17:51Speaker 2: I gotta be a pro. How am I fifty two
- 17:54Speaker 2: years old? Been into business for thirty plus years and
- 17:58Speaker 2: I'm acting like this? All right, I've got to pull
- 18:01Speaker 2: it together. I thought I smelled something, that's all. I
- 18:03Speaker 2: don't know. We don't need to make it into a
- 18:05Speaker 2: big thing. I would not do it. Might be me
- 18:08Speaker 2: actually now start thinking about all right, anyway, let's lock
- 18:10Speaker 2: in forget this ever happened. I got to be more
- 18:12Speaker 2: mature than this on the radio. You expect maturity in
- 18:16Speaker 2: this day part on, Actually you don't, but I will
- 18:18Speaker 2: try to be more mature bone Man in Nashville. Bone
- 18:21Speaker 2: Man was trying to get credit on social media and
- 18:24Speaker 2: on our group chat on text for driving through two
- 18:28Speaker 2: time zones, driving out of one time zone into another
- 18:31Speaker 2: yesterday and I didn't even think he was driving fit.
- 18:35Speaker 2: He didn't he get bench from the drive like missus
- 18:37Speaker 2: Mack does to me.
- 18:37Speaker 3: After an hour into the trip, because he caught a
- 18:40Speaker 3: leg cramp and got moved over into the passenger seat.
- 18:43Speaker 2: He said, this is more impressive than my driving to
- 18:46Speaker 2: and from rally in one day.
- 18:48Speaker 3: He said, he time traveled yesterday.
- 18:50Speaker 2: I'm trying to I'm trying to figure out Bone. He's
- 18:53Speaker 2: a funny dude, right, Like there's he's quick witted, there's
- 18:56Speaker 2: I love like, I love his sense of humor. But like,
- 18:59Speaker 2: is this a bit? Because I feel like it's a bit.
- 19:03Speaker 2: But there's part of me that thinks that Bone does
- 19:05Speaker 2: the littlest thing and does get impressed with himself. I
- 19:08Speaker 2: don't know, you know what I mean, Like, do y'all
- 19:10Speaker 2: think he's really impressed by these little things he does?
- 19:13Speaker 2: Or do you think it's just part of the Bone comedy?
- 19:15Speaker 2: But see I got I'm hoping it's comedy.
- 19:17Speaker 3: I can relate to that because when I do certain
- 19:19Speaker 3: things like small achievements, like Matt, when I first learned
- 19:23Speaker 3: how to open up a can of biscuits, because believe
- 19:25Speaker 3: it or not, I didn't know how to get that done.
- 19:28Speaker 3: I was really proud of myself. So then one way,
- 19:31Speaker 3: you pull the paper and then all of a sudden
- 19:33Speaker 3: it pops open where you have to like twist it
- 19:35Speaker 3: and the kind of like pops. I couldn't. I couldn't
- 19:37Speaker 3: figure out how to.
- 19:38Speaker 2: And did you notify everybody about that on social media?
- 19:40Speaker 3: I didn't tweet about it, But like when my ma
- 19:43Speaker 3: Ma came back from one of her Memphis trips, it
- 19:46Speaker 3: was like a real big thing. And so now it's
- 19:48Speaker 3: like it's like a running joke. But like whenever I
- 19:50Speaker 3: do get something done, you know.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Okay, so you can relate. You can relate to Bone
- 19:54Speaker 2: being happy with himself right now, all right, anyway, Bone
- 19:57Speaker 2: be safe, man, have a fun trip. Bone and ten
- 20:00Speaker 2: Bon't put up a picture of him and his lovely
- 20:03Speaker 2: girlfriend Tara.
- 20:04Speaker 3: A beautiful couple.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Check it out.
- 20:06Speaker 3: He texted us last time that he went to uh
- 20:09Speaker 3: Garth Brooks' bar.
- 20:11Speaker 2: I think he Macgarth Magarth.
- 20:14Speaker 3: He's making his way around the local establishments.
- 20:16Speaker 2: All right, So let's get into this his panther thing.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Let's not go there, Let's get into this. Let's get
- 20:20Speaker 2: into this panther thing. I love this Ken brad I
- 20:23Speaker 2: saw Ken Bradley tweet this out. Joe might have tweeted
- 20:25Speaker 2: it out too. Ken Bradley is one of the editors
- 20:27Speaker 2: over there at the Athletic and it's the annual fan
- 20:32Speaker 2: survey that they do at the Athletic and Joe person
- 20:35Speaker 2: does it, and Joe will release the results and kind
- 20:37Speaker 2: of give his feedback on it. I thought we should
- 20:40Speaker 2: do this live because I was gonna do it last night.
- 20:43Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what, let's answer this live on
- 20:45Speaker 2: the air, and I will bring panther Fitty into my
- 20:48Speaker 2: thought process. This is the ultimate honor for you, Fitty.
- 20:51Speaker 2: You will help me answer the fan survey here live
- 20:55Speaker 2: on the air, and I would implore everybody go to
- 20:57Speaker 2: the Athletic dot com. Have your voice heard as a
- 21:00Speaker 2: Panther fan. There's a lot of great questions in here. Okay,
- 21:03Speaker 2: so let's go to the first one here as the
- 21:06Speaker 2: Panthers mole and extension for Bryce. Should they offer him
- 21:09Speaker 2: a contract that puts him among the dot dot dot
- 21:13Speaker 2: And you're supposed to answer, should they offer him a
- 21:15Speaker 2: contract that puts him among the top ten highest paid quarterbacks,
- 21:19Speaker 2: top fifteen highest paid quarterbacks, top twenty highest paid quarterbacks,
- 21:24Speaker 2: or they shouldn't extend him right now?
- 21:27Speaker 3: The answer to me maxx top fifteen. I want him
- 21:30Speaker 3: to play at a level where if Dan Morgan slides
- 21:33Speaker 3: him a contract across the table that's worthy of top ten,
- 21:37Speaker 3: because I think that would suggest that the Panthers won
- 21:39Speaker 3: a lot of football games, which I think they're going
- 21:41Speaker 3: to do anyway this year. But smart business right now,
- 21:47Speaker 3: with the inconsistent nature of his play to this point,
- 21:51Speaker 3: would be to offer him a fair contract that's in
- 21:54Speaker 3: that top fifteen range, something that maybe is very similar
- 21:57Speaker 3: to the two contracts we're talking about the most on
- 21:59Speaker 3: the show that Sam Donald that Baker mayfield that.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Range fifteenth and sixteenth.
- 22:04Speaker 3: So like if you're in a four year one twenty
- 22:06Speaker 3: type of type of range. I do think that would
- 22:09Speaker 3: be a fair contract offer to the quarterback.
- 22:11Speaker 2: They're fifteenth and sixteenth, so I will I mean, I
- 22:14Speaker 2: guess top fifteen, top twenty. Anyway you want to look
- 22:17Speaker 2: at that, it could be the answer. I will go
- 22:19Speaker 2: with you on that. I will say top fifteen. But yeah,
- 22:22Speaker 2: I have said on this show I would offer them
- 22:25Speaker 2: the Donald Mayfield type thirty three million a year type
- 22:30Speaker 2: thing in that neighborhood and see if he bites. My
- 22:33Speaker 2: thought is though he wouldn't bite on that, that he
- 22:35Speaker 2: would bet on himself. And then it gets interesting, man,
- 22:37Speaker 2: and I hope he wins that bet. I will say
- 22:39Speaker 2: that second question in this Athletic Panther fan survey, who
- 22:43Speaker 2: will be the most impactful player on defense this year? Phillips,
- 22:48Speaker 2: Lloyd Horn, Brown, Merrig, Mike Jackson or other?
- 22:53Speaker 3: Yes, yes, all of them. I'm gonna take Jalen Phillips
- 22:59Speaker 3: just because us of of your catchphrase, disruption is production. MATC.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Gott love to project he's gonna have ten twelve plus sacks.
- 23:08Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if that's gonna happen. I
- 23:11Speaker 3: do know he's going to put pressure on the quarterback.
- 23:13Speaker 3: I do expect this.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Sorely missed and it's the most important thing you can
- 23:18Speaker 2: do in an NFL defense. Yes, so there's a point
- 23:20Speaker 2: to be made for what you're saying.
- 23:21Speaker 3: So if he doesn't have double digit sacks, but he
- 23:24Speaker 3: has the pressure numbers that I think led him to
- 23:26Speaker 3: get the kind of contract offer that the Panthers gave
- 23:28Speaker 3: him a free agency, then there may be people that
- 23:31Speaker 3: complain about it and not finishing the the the look
- 23:36Speaker 3: for here. You may be able to finish the play,
- 23:39Speaker 3: but just if he's in the back, that's gonna change
- 23:41Speaker 3: a whole lot of the outcome of these plays.
- 23:43Speaker 2: We haven't. We've had so little pressure second worst pressure percentage.
- 23:46Speaker 2: It would be a game change.
- 23:47Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with Jalen Phillips.
- 23:49Speaker 2: I had no offense to you. I'm just gonna go
- 23:51Speaker 2: with our best football player, pick Derek Brown, and just
- 23:53Speaker 2: move and move along with my day. But you made
- 23:55Speaker 2: a very good case for Jalen Phillips. If he brings pressure,
- 23:59Speaker 2: it's the number one thing this defense needs. The next question,
- 24:02Speaker 2: who will be the biggest breakout player in twenty twenty six? Coker, Sanders, Brooks, Gorton, Princely,
- 24:08Speaker 2: Corey Thornton, Ransom or other.
- 24:12Speaker 3: I would love to answer Jonathan Brooks.
- 24:15Speaker 2: God, that would be something, man.
- 24:16Speaker 3: I think Cocher and Scoreton are maybe the two easiest
- 24:19Speaker 3: to identify. I think I'm gonna go with our guy
- 24:22Speaker 3: though in that secondary I'm gonna go with Corey Thornton
- 24:25Speaker 3: because I am mac. He's gonna have a bigger role
- 24:28Speaker 3: than he had a year ago, assuming that he's healthy.
- 24:30Speaker 3: I know injuries played a big part is why he
- 24:32Speaker 3: didn't have the type of role that we thought he
- 24:34Speaker 3: could have what I want him to have because Mack,
- 24:36Speaker 3: when I went to practice last year, when I was
- 24:38Speaker 3: at that Browns game, the physicality is the first thing
- 24:42Speaker 3: that stands down about.
- 24:43Speaker 2: It fits what Morgan and and Canalis want from their corners.
- 24:46Speaker 3: So I I don't know what the numbers are gonna
- 24:49Speaker 3: look like. I'm not saying he's gonna have five interceptions,
- 24:52Speaker 3: all these passes offended, but he's gonna make a difference
- 24:54Speaker 3: because he can cover, he can hit, he's gonna be
- 24:57Speaker 3: He's gonna be an ipactful player.
- 24:58Speaker 2: Panther fifty. My answer was going to be co because
- 25:00Speaker 2: I just think he's gonna ball or Oka or scorting.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Yeah s guilty at charged. But Corey Thornton is my guy.
- 25:07Speaker 2: He is a guy I trumpet all the time. So
- 25:09Speaker 2: you know what, he might only get like two percent
- 25:11Speaker 2: of the vote. I'm going with him, no fitting, you
- 25:13Speaker 2: taught me into it. I'm going I'm back in my guy.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Here's the next question, Joe Person's at the Athletic Panther
- 25:19Speaker 2: Fan survey, which rookie will make the biggest impact this year?
- 25:23Speaker 2: I'm going Lee Hunter?
- 25:25Speaker 3: Oh so am?
- 25:26Speaker 2: I I think it's Lee Hunter. I think he could
- 25:28Speaker 2: start right away, and I don't think we can say
- 25:29Speaker 2: that about any of these other rookies necessarily. I love
- 25:33Speaker 2: this dude, and he's your favorite. He was your favorite
- 25:35Speaker 2: tramp pick, right he was.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:38Speaker 3: I really hope that we can maybe get him out
- 25:40Speaker 3: of training camp so I can just thank him for
- 25:42Speaker 3: being a Carolina Panther. He's proved positive that Dave Morgan
- 25:45Speaker 3: listens to the cries of the Mack and Bone Show
- 25:47Speaker 3: because I cried, and I mean I cried for him
- 25:49Speaker 3: to go repaced someone of the ilk of A'shawn Robinson.
- 25:53Speaker 2: You said do this in the first couple of rounds,
- 25:55Speaker 2: I said, I don't think there's gonna be anybody on
- 25:56Speaker 2: the board, and they went out and got Lee Hunter,
- 25:58Speaker 2: and you were right, man, So.
- 25:59Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Lee Hunter, MATC do Hunter. Don't
- 26:01Speaker 3: rule out Chris Brasl I'll go Hunter. There that ability
- 26:04Speaker 3: from the high point in the football. I think with
- 26:06Speaker 3: the addition of Daryl Bell to the offensive coaching staff,
- 26:08Speaker 3: they're gonna be more committed to pushing the football down
- 26:11Speaker 3: the field. That's what that guy does. He could be
- 26:14Speaker 3: a he could be a boom or bust type of guy.
- 26:17Speaker 3: But but if he if he booms and he's having
- 26:20Speaker 3: you know, five six catches forty yards or deeper, that
- 26:22Speaker 3: could be a big game changer. I would have rued
- 26:24Speaker 3: him out as well.
- 26:25Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the next question. Who will
- 26:27Speaker 2: be the next Panther player to get a contract extension?
- 26:30Speaker 2: Excluding Bryce Young, Mike Jack, Ikey, Damian Lewis, Trayvon merrig
- 26:36Speaker 2: Rashid Walker, or Luke Fortner, who is your answer? Panther Fitty.
- 26:43Speaker 3: If they were gonna extend Mike Jack, I think they
- 26:45Speaker 3: would have already.
- 26:46Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking. I'd love to see them give
- 26:48Speaker 2: him an extension. Try something fifteen million year maybe see
- 26:51Speaker 2: if he bites. But I'm starting to wonder if yeah,
- 26:53Speaker 2: he's not going to get it.
- 26:54Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Merrig. I'm gonna go Marig.
- 26:58Speaker 2: When is his cat? He signed a three year deal right, yes,
- 27:01Speaker 2: so he has one year after this. Yeah, he definitely
- 27:04Speaker 2: could be an extension guy soon because I think they
- 27:06Speaker 2: won him in their long term plans. Damian Lewis is
- 27:09Speaker 2: another guy I love and think is our best offensive lineman.
- 27:12Speaker 2: When's his contract up? Fit Daddy?
- 27:14Speaker 3: They gave him? Was he was?
- 27:16Speaker 2: He the five year? He got four years, four years.
- 27:19Speaker 2: His contract is up after Toy, so he'd have one
- 27:22Speaker 2: year left too. I think Merrig or d Lou. I'll
- 27:26Speaker 2: go with Merrig. I'm very agreeable today, Fitty or very
- 27:29Speaker 2: well now I am. Last segment I wasn't, but now
- 27:31Speaker 2: I'm being very agreeable with you.
- 27:32Speaker 3: The thing about Lewis is, and I'm with you. I
- 27:35Speaker 3: think he's pound for pound, the best offensive lineman at
- 27:39Speaker 3: that position. Group they do want to get cheaper at
- 27:41Speaker 3: that position. They need to get cheaper at that position.
- 27:44Speaker 3: I don't know, like I think there's a reason why
- 27:46Speaker 3: they want to keep investing in drafting offensive linemen.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they'll replace Moten with it. I think
- 27:50Speaker 2: they'll have two guys on first on rookie contracts of
- 27:54Speaker 2: freeling in Moten's replacement. I think so. Maybe then they
- 27:57Speaker 2: can pay the guard because you're not paying Center either.
- 27:59Speaker 2: It doesn't appear right now. All right, we gotta go
- 28:01Speaker 2: rapid fire. We take it away too long with this,
- 28:03Speaker 2: so Fitty, we're gonna go you me, you me, and
- 28:06Speaker 2: just answer the question quickly. I think you ramble more
- 28:09Speaker 2: than me, Fitty, which is hard to do. It's very
- 28:11Speaker 2: hard to do. I will start with this one. T
- 28:13Speaker 2: Mac had one thousand, fourteen yards last year. How much
- 28:17Speaker 2: will you have this year? I will go one thousand
- 28:20Speaker 2: to twelve forty nine. Another answer is twelve fifty to
- 28:23Speaker 2: fourteen ninety nine. That's tempting, but I think Cocher will
- 28:27Speaker 2: have more yards than last year. I think Brazil could
- 28:31Speaker 2: outplay what XL did, so I will go with one
- 28:34Speaker 2: thousand to twelve forty nine. This is the athletic poll.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Y'all go in, go and give Joe person a click
- 28:40Speaker 2: and go answer these questions. All right, so fitty, how
- 28:42Speaker 2: many passing yards for Bryce Young this year? Just give
- 28:45Speaker 2: me your guests.
- 28:45Speaker 3: I'll give I'll give three to thirty five hundred and three,
- 28:48Speaker 3: nine and ninety nine, and.
- 28:50Speaker 2: That'd be a career high. Definitely. Who will be the
- 28:52Speaker 2: starting left tackle at the end of the season. This
- 28:54Speaker 2: is a very interesting question because I think we all
- 28:56Speaker 2: think it's Rashid Walker at the start of the season,
- 28:59Speaker 2: but you have Icky co back midseason, you have Freeling
- 29:01Speaker 2: hopefully possess uh, you know, progressing. It's a hard one.
- 29:06Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Monroe Freeling. I'm gonna go to Freeling
- 29:09Speaker 2: has the job by the end of the season. So
- 29:11Speaker 2: did I Okay, So what's the next one? Rico Daldles
- 29:14Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. Who will be the top backfield compliment to Cuba.
- 29:18Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Jonathan Brooks.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it, baby.
- 29:21Speaker 3: I did think about selecting other running battles out on
- 29:24Speaker 3: the roster at this time. I do think that's on
- 29:26Speaker 3: the table. It broke it Brooks can't stay healthy.
- 29:29Speaker 2: I think if Brooks can't do it, et n h An, however,
- 29:32Speaker 2: we're supposed to say Trevor's name will be the next up.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Let's see here, what is your biggest area of concern
- 29:38Speaker 2: entering quarterback QB play running back, depth, tight end room,
- 29:42Speaker 2: pass rush, off ball, linebacker or other.
- 29:46Speaker 3: M. I put tight end room.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Yeah, the tight end room is probably the weakest of
- 29:51Speaker 2: all those groups right there. But I don't know if
- 29:54Speaker 2: I feel like you know, if our tight end room
- 29:56Speaker 2: is mid, we can't win ten games and win the division. Though,
- 29:58Speaker 2: I don't feel like it's gonna cost us, but I
- 30:00Speaker 2: will uput tight end room in there. How strong do
- 30:02Speaker 2: you feel that Carolina will win its first playoff game
- 30:06Speaker 2: since twenty fifteen this season? This is the year. This
- 30:08Speaker 2: might be the year. Not sure, better luck next season.
- 30:13Speaker 3: I said, this is the year.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Let's go baby. I was gonna say this might be
- 30:17Speaker 2: the year, but I ain't being a pansy. This is
- 30:19Speaker 2: the year, baby. Double digit wins and a playoff win.
- 30:23Speaker 2: I think, all right, what's the next one? How would
- 30:26Speaker 2: you grade the Panthers' offseason moves ABCD or F.
- 30:30Speaker 3: I put it at a B B.
- 30:31Speaker 2: That's a good, solid B for Dan Morgan on a
- 30:33Speaker 2: scale of one to five. How confident are you in
- 30:37Speaker 2: idzac fitty?
- 30:39Speaker 3: I put it at a four.
- 30:40Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's a good one. I like that.
- 30:42Speaker 2: How many games will the Panthers win? This year ten, baby, ten?
- 30:45Speaker 2: What's your answer though?
- 30:46Speaker 3: Eleven?
- 30:47Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going ten. I'm going ten. David Tepper, Oh
- 30:50Speaker 2: this is this could do this could be a whole
- 30:52Speaker 2: segment actually, and then we would have to send royalties
- 30:55Speaker 2: to Jo. We already have to send you royalties to
- 30:57Speaker 2: Joe person probably like I have to buy him maybe
- 30:59Speaker 2: some craft beer or something. Grade David Tepper's eight season
- 31:02Speaker 2: tenure as an owner ABCD or F.
- 31:05Speaker 3: I put it in a C.
- 31:07Speaker 2: It started, I mean, tep, daddy. I love the way
- 31:11Speaker 2: you're growing over there, baby, but it started horrendously. It doesn't.
- 31:14Speaker 2: I mean, I don't you.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Know, which is why I put it in a C.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna go be. But I think he's average, right,
- 31:21Speaker 2: so I feel like it started horrendously. He's getting a
- 31:24Speaker 2: lot better. I think C. I think C's a decent
- 31:27Speaker 2: grade man. But he's on the company. He's that student
- 31:29Speaker 2: that's starting to get better. Improve. Who will win the
- 31:31Speaker 2: NFC South Duh Carolina Panthers, sir. Last question on the
- 31:37Speaker 2: Athletic Fan Survey, what is the confidence level that you
- 31:40Speaker 2: have Fiddy and Canalis, Morgan and tillis very high, high, moderate,
- 31:45Speaker 2: low or very low, I put very high. WHOA, Okay,
- 31:50Speaker 2: I was thinking high. I was thinking just because they
- 31:53Speaker 2: haven't had a winning record yet, so I was thinking
- 31:55Speaker 2: of just compromising and going high. But you say very high,
- 31:58Speaker 2: I what the hell like Bob Marley, oh Man, Like
- 32:05Speaker 2: our old coworker Billy to Marlin, baby God bless him.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I mean, I know what he's doing now. He's probably
- 32:10Speaker 2: smoking her, but I don't know where he is and
- 32:12Speaker 2: what else he's doing. All right, So hit, I'm hitting
- 32:14Speaker 2: c men. That is two panther homers answering the survey.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Y'all go check it out. It's very cool stuff. I
- 32:21Speaker 2: love seeing what our fellow fans are doing. It's very
- 32:23Speaker 2: cool stuff that Joe Person and the athletic do every year.
- 32:26Speaker 2: All right, So when we come back, let's have a
- 32:29Speaker 2: little fun with audio, shall we. We have to all
- 32:33Speaker 2: collectively laugh at something Mike Tyson said the other day.
- 32:36Speaker 2: We have to laugh at British soccer freakouts. That must
- 32:40Speaker 2: happen as well. It is Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 33:03Speaker 6: Congratulate one player. I want to congratulate Caleb Williams, the
- 33:06Speaker 6: quarterback for the Chicago Bears, will be on the cover
- 33:08Speaker 6: of the new Madden video game. Congratulations to Caleb. Yeah,
- 33:14Speaker 6: and Tiger Woods will be on the cover of Grand
- 33:17Speaker 6: Theft Auto. I love you, Tiger. I'm a big fan, man.
- 33:26Speaker 6: It's just it was written so well.
- 33:29Speaker 2: That is Marcelo Hernandez, who I will be honest about Fitty.
- 33:34Speaker 2: I had never heard of him in my life until
- 33:37Speaker 2: he was booked to host The Spis. But he had
- 33:40Speaker 2: some bangers and that was one, right, He had some
- 33:43Speaker 2: great jokes and that was one right there, the old
- 33:46Speaker 2: Tiger Woods. Yeah.
- 33:48Speaker 3: I had to learn who he was the other night too.
- 33:50Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with his game. It was pretty good monologue, though,
- 33:53Speaker 2: pretty damn good monologue. I know he's donet do it alone, right,
- 33:56Speaker 2: They got a group of writers there, but I just
- 33:58Speaker 2: there's something about an award show where you just and
- 34:02Speaker 2: Tiger wasn't there, but some like I love those are
- 34:05Speaker 2: the best when you just look someone into eye and
- 34:09Speaker 2: gets burn him with a joke. Man like Nikki Glazer's
- 34:12Speaker 2: one of the best in the world of doing this.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Now he don't give a dang, but god, that's it was.
- 34:18Speaker 2: There was some good stuff. Gotta give him a little
- 34:20Speaker 2: bit of credit.
- 34:21Speaker 3: It was nowhere near. I think it's controversial last year
- 34:24Speaker 3: as Shane gilt opening monologue. True, And I don't know
- 34:27Speaker 3: if that's a good thing or a bad thing, because
- 34:29Speaker 3: there were some of the Gillis stuff last year that
- 34:31Speaker 3: I found to be very funny.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Did you hear his joke about Shane Gillis? And by
- 34:36Speaker 2: the way, I just wanted if everybody just tunes in,
- 34:37Speaker 2: I want you to have the full context here. This
- 34:39Speaker 2: is what this is on me making a joke that
- 34:42Speaker 2: would get me get me run off the air. This
- 34:44Speaker 2: is Marcello Hernandez's joke. But he said, want to say
- 34:47Speaker 2: hello to last year's host, Shane Gillis. He's sitting at
- 34:50Speaker 2: home watching this on TV doing what doing what a
- 34:54Speaker 2: lot of other white guys are doing, watching a Mexican
- 34:56Speaker 2: man do his job. And I'm just like, man, this
- 34:58Speaker 2: dude don't care. They don't care, man. But anyway, all right,
- 35:02Speaker 2: so let's get one more of his jokes and then
- 35:04Speaker 2: we gotta get to two other it's a fun with
- 35:07Speaker 2: audio segment, so hopefully everybody will laugh at this and
- 35:10Speaker 2: then we will get back into the football. Coming up
- 35:12Speaker 2: top of the hour, we got you talk about bangers.
- 35:15Speaker 2: We got jj Jansen with the final snapchats before training
- 35:19Speaker 2: camp next week, and then we got Tom Lougan Bill
- 35:21Speaker 2: our Boy Lug's covering ACC media days for the ACC
- 35:25Speaker 2: Network and to join us at eight twenty five. All right,
- 35:28Speaker 2: one other one from Marcello because of who the person
- 35:32Speaker 2: that he burns here fitting, I couldn't resist. We have
- 35:34Speaker 2: to play this one.
- 35:36Speaker 6: In nineteen seventy three, hockey players didn't wear helmets, basketball
- 35:40Speaker 6: had no three point line, and in nineteen seventy three
- 35:44Speaker 6: Bill Belichick was the age his girlfriend is now.
- 35:49Speaker 2: I couldn't resist. I know it's low hanging fruit fitting
- 35:52Speaker 2: that make Belichick jokes.
- 35:53Speaker 5: Not the line is that what you're drawing.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Here you go?
- 35:55Speaker 2: Is that what the best is when people either choose
- 35:58Speaker 2: to laugh or then give you a girl that I
- 36:01Speaker 2: always love to see which ones are laughs and which
- 36:04Speaker 2: ones are grown? All right? Also at the SP's Mike
- 36:08Speaker 2: Tyson had a moment, and I don't know if you're
- 36:10Speaker 2: gonna be able to hear this. You're gonna have to listen,
- 36:13Speaker 2: maybe even turn your radio up when I stopped talking,
- 36:15Speaker 2: which which should be safe, and then turn it down
- 36:17Speaker 2: when I start yelling at you again. But this is.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Jake Paul's up there with him, right and Mike Tyson
- 36:24Speaker 2: and they're giving out an award and show Hey O'tani

- 36:38Speaker 2: to Jake Paul, which I just I know Mike's been

- 37:10Speaker 2: If you heard that at the end, you're laughing. If not,
- 37:13Speaker 2: I'll have to say it. He said, Show Hey Otan.
- 37:17Speaker 2: He's a guy asking a question to Jake Paul. He thought,
- 37:21Speaker 2: Show Hey Otani all this time was a woman. Are

- 37:47Speaker 2: watch one minute of it. But I do know this fitty.
- 37:50Speaker 2: When I hear clips so funny jokes about sports figures,
- 37:52Speaker 2: including Bill Belichick, I'm gonna laugh at him. I'm gonna
- 37:55Speaker 2: laugh at him. But no, I did. Definitely. I think
- 37:58Speaker 2: I had TV two for a little bit there, But no,
- 38:00Speaker 2: the SP's is not. I don't want you to mistake
- 38:02Speaker 2: this segment, as I believe the SP's is great. I
- 38:05Speaker 2: just want to laugh at stuff.
- 38:06Speaker 3: Can I ask a question, what's that? Was watching the
- 38:10Speaker 3: SP's ever a thing?
- 38:11Speaker 2: Well, that's a good point, Like was it ever really great?
- 38:15Speaker 2: Or did we always kind of like, oh, yeah, who's
- 38:17Speaker 2: gonna watch that?
- 38:18Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, outside of Jimmy V's speech.
- 38:21Speaker 2: Stuart Scott. Stuart Scott, they've had some moments. There's no doubt.
- 38:25Speaker 2: There's no doubt they've had some moments.
- 38:27Speaker 3: But like as a sports fan, I've never carved out
- 38:30Speaker 3: like I have.
- 38:31Speaker 2: To watch three hours straight of the Award. Was it
- 38:33Speaker 2: ever like that? I don't think so.
- 38:35Speaker 3: But I also don't watch any type of award show
- 38:38Speaker 3: like I'm not. That's not my thing. When people watch
- 38:41Speaker 3: the Grammys, the I don't watch any of that Grammys.
- 38:45Speaker 2: I like live performances, but yeah, Oscars, I can't sit
- 38:48Speaker 2: there and watch the whole thing you talk about rambling.
- 38:51Speaker 2: I know I ramble, and I know Dabbo rambles, and
- 38:53Speaker 2: I know you ramble. Fitty, how about those awards accepting
- 38:56Speaker 2: speeches from actors? Oh my god. Anyway, beer maker man
- 39:01Speaker 2: says Shane Gillis went to Cedarcliff High School in Pennsylvania,
- 39:04Speaker 2: which was not too far from where I grew up.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Notre Dame fan too. That's an hellen about that. Should
- 39:09Speaker 2: have grew up as a penn State fan. But anyway,
- 39:10Speaker 2: I digress. All right, here's the best cut of them
- 39:13Speaker 2: all though, all right, we're done with the spy's cuts.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Here's the best cut of them all. This is Jamie O'Hara,
- 39:19Speaker 2: who is a former soccer player who is a pundit
- 39:22Speaker 2: over there covering soccer in England, and he does a
- 39:26Speaker 2: show on Talk Sport, which is the thing that Smoke
- 39:28Speaker 2: told me. He was listening to Fitty after the Argentina
- 39:32Speaker 2: rally against England, and he said he was just dying
- 39:34Speaker 2: laughing at how angry the English folks were about that
- 39:37Speaker 2: blown lead. Listen to Jamie O'Hara, go the hell off.
- 39:42Speaker 2: I believe all of us sports fans have felt like
- 39:45Speaker 2: this over some sporting event, but damn, it's hilarious. Listen
- 39:48Speaker 2: to this.
- 39:49Speaker 4: We fed out of well cut in disgrace because of him,
- 39:52Speaker 4: because of him, and.
- 39:53Speaker 2: We bro him in for this jump.
- 39:55Speaker 4: This is what we brought him in for to get
- 39:57Speaker 4: us over each line, and he's the same, odingl and sim.
- 40:00Speaker 2: O crap, sim o cuff.
- 40:03Speaker 3: I have to watch.
- 40:03Speaker 4: Every tournament that we're in and it's the managers tucked
- 40:06Speaker 4: us up again, tucked us up.
- 40:09Speaker 2: We're on with bed on that feet.
- 40:11Speaker 4: The Morgan Rogers plame right wing dude penning him on
- 40:13Speaker 4: the left, brings on the co rightly.
- 40:15Speaker 3: We can't go out.
- 40:17Speaker 4: Marry Kaine's done nothing, nothing, got nothing left.
- 40:20Speaker 3: I don't, I don't, I don't.
- 40:22Speaker 4: Can't believe it, Jace, I can't believe it. He's a disgrace.
- 40:26Speaker 4: I should be sacked, came out gone.
- 40:29Speaker 6: I totally agree.
- 40:31Speaker 2: You know what that was there at the end, I
- 40:33Speaker 2: was you and bone. I just I was thinking the
- 40:35Speaker 2: same thing. That was British mac and Bone. I've gone
- 40:39Speaker 2: off for who knows how long Bone tries to join
- 40:42Speaker 2: the party, and I just keep yelling over every time
- 40:45Speaker 2: he tries to talk. That was British mac and Bone
- 40:47Speaker 2: right there. God, that's funny, and doing it in that
- 40:50Speaker 2: accent is so amusing to hear. I don't blame him.
- 40:53Speaker 2: I want England to win. I know a lot of
- 40:55Speaker 2: yard just loved that England lost. You're making the thirteen
- 40:58Speaker 2: colony lead jokes, but like, if there's something funny about
- 41:01Speaker 2: a rant in that accent.
- 41:03Speaker 3: Oh, it was tremendous. And he was talking about Thomas
- 41:06Speaker 3: Tutel the way that Willie p talked about John Sterling.
- 41:11Speaker 2: He was ot, oh my god.
- 41:14Speaker 3: All though, Mack, if Tuctell gets if he does Tuckleule,
- 41:17Speaker 3: if he does get sacked, we uh we maybe move
- 41:22Speaker 3: off bringing Pochettino back to bring him over here to America.
- 41:25Speaker 2: You want you want Paschago to England.
- 41:28Speaker 3: Well, now we know he's going to England. I'm just saying,
- 41:30Speaker 3: if if Tuckle were to become available, oh Tuckle, would
- 41:33Speaker 3: you rather have Tukel or Pachettina.
- 41:35Speaker 2: Pachettino Paschettino aggressive. He's aggressive. Minds. I know it's horrible
- 41:39Speaker 2: in the Belgium game, but he's aggressive. Tuckle went in
- 41:42Speaker 2: there saying all the British coaches in the past and
- 41:44Speaker 2: teams in the past were so conservative they were afraid
- 41:46Speaker 2: to lose. I'm gonna be going for the win, and
- 41:49Speaker 2: he did the exact same crap.
- 41:50Speaker 3: Twelve percent possession after they got their goal.
- 41:52Speaker 2: How about this one eighteen minute stretch in the second
- 41:54Speaker 2: half where they completed two passes.
- 41:56Speaker 3: It's like Bryce Sugar gets the Seahawks and then my god,
- 42:00Speaker 3: love you Bricy damn panther Fitti.
- 42:02Speaker 2: That's cold. By the way, you want to know what
- 42:04Speaker 2: the passes were? I heard this yesterday. The two passes
- 42:07Speaker 2: they completed in a fifteen minute stretch when they could
- 42:10Speaker 2: not get out at all with the ball. It was
- 42:13Speaker 2: the keeper to the right back and the right back
- 42:15Speaker 2: back to the keeper. That's the only two passes they completed.
- 42:18Speaker 2: What a joke that was? Why do Why am I
- 42:20Speaker 2: this angry? Though it's not America? Why am I this angry? Gator?
- 42:23Speaker 2: Roup says, what the hef did he say? Speak English?
- 42:26Speaker 2: That is that it always amuses me. That the language
- 42:29Speaker 2: is English, but in England, with some of those accents,
- 42:33Speaker 2: it's very hard to understand English. It's very ironic. All right. Anyway,
- 42:38Speaker 2: let's take a breather right now here on the macket
- 42:41Speaker 2: Bone Show when we come back. All right, we got
- 42:44Speaker 2: two big dog football guests coming up, Tom Lougan Bill
- 42:47Speaker 2: ESPN to talk acc and college football at A twenty five.
- 42:52Speaker 2: But next it's going to be emotional. It's the final
- 42:55Speaker 2: snapchats before JJ reports for training camp on Wednesday next week.
- 43:00Speaker 2: J J Janssen joins US next
