  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: This is my friend Matt. Posh, come on, Posh.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: This is my friend T-Bone.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Let's have some fun. I can't go to work without
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: listening to Mac and Bone. Do it live. How much
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: change do you expect?
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's about expecting anymore because we've seen
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: what it is as far as the defense goes.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: It's been.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: A little bit of a drastic change, but not in
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: a bad way, just a different scheme and all that.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: But as far as the defense goes, it's not like
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: it's going to be something that's too hard for us
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: to learn, especially being.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: In the middle of the season.
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: That is Prince Leuma and Miellon being asked yesterday about
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: the defensive changes. The big question in the locker room was, hey,
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: y'all moving to a 4-3? Panthers Twitter really wants a 4-3.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: You think Coach Walsh is going to listen to them?
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: And Prince Lee, most guys were downplaying any change. Canales said, hey,
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to give you the details, but our
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: personnel is kind of built for a 3-4. Derrick Brown said, hey,
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: we're not really changing the scheme here. There might be
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: a tweak or two. But Prince Lee did, did hint
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: about some changes that are coming there. I also wanted
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: to shout out bone Panther cliff, who is all over it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: He texted in and said, I thought it was funny.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: The Panthers reporters swarmed to Prince Lee to see what
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: he would say about the defensive changes. My man has
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: a hard time keeping secrets. I also think they wanted
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: to go to him too, because he's criticized the Vero
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: in the past and, Like social.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Media said, you know what I mean?
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: He sometimes can't control himself.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: And I think folks wondered, will he criticize Averro a
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: little bit, too?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think he really did. But anyway, yes, you
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: could totally see why the media would be like, we
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: got to talk to him. Oh, no doubt. You want
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to go to the guy that's going to slip up.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: That's why Fitty gets a lot of questions around here.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: What's the old saying?
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Loose lips sink ships.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yep, I was going to say loose ships sink lips,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: but that's a whole other thing.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to decide, do I come in and help
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: you with these sayings or do I let you mess
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: up the saying first so we can laugh and then
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: I come in?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I tried to I learned from Selenia that
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I can drive you around. I can't get you to
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the destination every single time. I think I'm going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: let you. I think I'm not going to completely help you, though.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I think I'm going to let you mess it up
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and then come in. Last week. Last week, you had
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: me in trouble where I just I was drowning and
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I had no life raft.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Life life thing. Life raft works, right? Doesn't that work,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I think?
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Wall says, you know, Princely can't keep his mouth shut. Yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: I think everybody does. But he kind of kept his
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: mouth shut, but he did say something about drastic change.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Was he trying to tell us something is coming? I
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: would not expect it to be the 4-3. I also
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: don't know if it matters if it's a 4-3 because
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: they're only in base about 30% of the time.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: So I think that's a little overrated. I think we've
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: got to have the 4-3 conversation, Bone, at length. There's
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: some good comments from Benson Buckner out there. He was
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: talking on Langston Wertz podcast. Buck said some of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: same stuff yesterday, kind of that he told us. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: I want, and we'll get to those. And then there's,
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: you know, what did Derek Brown say about it? But
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: I think we got to shelf that for a little
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: bit because of Mike.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I think you called him the wrong name there, didn't you?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Brentson Buckner. What did I say? Benson. I don't know.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know why I would do that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: I guess I just didn't put the R in there.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: I guess it's what happened. Anyway, look at Bone trying
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: to find. I like it, though, Bone. You made a
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: mess in aisle two. You tried to find my mess
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: in aisle three.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Get the mop out. I see what you're doing. He's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: not even in here. He's going for more wings. Stupidity
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: likes company. I get it. I get it. But let's
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: talk about this.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Bryce report from Mike Florio, because this just hit this
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: morning and a lot of y'all are probably getting in
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: your cars and have not heard about this.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm curious of your opinions.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: But this is also something that I think you've got
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: to be informed about, that Mike Florio has done some
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: digging into Bryce Young and C.J.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Stroud's contract situations.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: And said, as for Bryce Young, we've recently caught wind
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: of chatter that Panthers are far down the road towards
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: signing Bryce to a second deal in excess of $ 50
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: million per year. You pointed out earlier, Bone, because I
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: don't read to the bottom too often, you pointed out
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: earlier that it says at the end that basically Bryce
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: and Stroud deals are the only questions remaining with them
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: in the talks right now. are basically how the payments
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: would be structured and how the guarantees would work, how
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: you would structure the guaranteed money and that sort of thing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: And it reads as an agent's race with... cj straub
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: maybe not a race smack to get it done but
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: maybe one is waiting out the other one because you
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: want to be the second guy to sign or have
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: your client be the second guy to sign to then
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: go and pass the other.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Guy by like ten dollars yeah whatever it may.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Be so what do so we've got to we talked
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: about this in a seven o'clock hour i know that
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: some of you are just hearing this and are going
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: to have a reaction i get that the reaction will
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: be different than it would have been two weeks ago
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: because now we have seen him have some very human games,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: but I also think that the Panthers and reasonable minds
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: can acknowledge he was under pressure 50-plus percent of the
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: time in both those games, and the time to pressure,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: 2.4 and 2.5 seconds respectively, was the fastest the pressure
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: has got to him. Also, there is a knee injury.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: You can't convince me. that there is not some knee
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: injury that is limiting his mobility. I'm not saying he's
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: not making mistakes too, Bone, but it is because of
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: the pressure. I still like hearing this news, despite what's
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: happened the last two weeks.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe the agent said, all right, we were
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: going to wait on it, but because of the offensive line,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: because of the knee. As I said last hour, there
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: is a number of great defensive teams coming up here
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that they're going to have to face if the offensive
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: linebacker is not better, not only against Denver, who, by
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: the way, is one of a down-the-line defensive team compared
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: to Minnesota, Seattle, Pittsburgh, hell, Tampa, who we just saw
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: is way up there now in defensive numbers. There's a
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: lot of teams coming up here where the agent may say,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: All things considered, we might want to start working on
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: this now to get max value before the O-line or
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: the body, whatever, gives out here.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: We don't get that max value. That is an interesting thought.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Does his own camp look at the circumstances and say, yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: could he get hurt?
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: Or.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: can he produce what he was early in the season?
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Whereas the Panthers have to be thinking about that too.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: But I don't think they're, I think the Panthers believe
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: bone that we can win with them. We want a
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: division with them last year. I think they've seen the
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: start to the season, the way he's played. I think
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Dan Morgan will obviously hit the offensive line needs. very,
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: very big in the draft, very early in the draft.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: But I think they feel like he is damn good.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: I don't know if they feel like he's great or
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: excellent or awesome or any of those adjectives, but I
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: think they feel like we get a damn good quarterback.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: We it's sticking with them. We can win.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: We've got to put the cast around them, but also,
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: and I said this last hour, part of it too,
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: has to be, we know what we have here and
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: we like it. Could we try to go out there
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: and get awesome? Yeah, but awesome doesn't grow on trees
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: when it comes to quarterbacks. I don't think enough of
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: the Bryce critics, Bone, that are in our Panther fan
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: base acknowledge that it's not as easy as snapping your
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: fingers and.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: You've got a great quarterback.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's easy to guarantee you go out
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: there and get a better quarterback than Bryce.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they doubt to them. I think
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: that would be going backwards. They're trying to go forwards.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: If they get back in that quarterback market again, Dan
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Morgan is trying to move this thing forward. If he's
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: got to go quarterback again, how far does that set
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you back? Mac got a tweet here from Sheena. From
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Sheena Quick, who was on the show yesterday. Going after
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: the Bryce haters yesterday on the show. She just sent
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: me a laughing emoji on the Mike Florio news, so
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know what. Do you speak Sheena Mac? What
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: exactly does that refer to?
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, she's died laughing at all those Bryce haters.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: She knows it's going to make them mad, and she
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: finds extreme.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Humor in that.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: Now, Deacon Donna is not on Sheena's side or our
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: side or Bryce's side.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, Deacon Donna, you've got other problems here, Donna.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised she didn't send in a rant about the
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: committee loving the SEC and ranking Wake 16th. And by
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: the way, there's so much complaints about SEC committee obsession
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: and affection. That will be a major conversation at 825. Like,
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: that will be a major conversation.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: People want a welfare check on Colin if he's going
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: to be okay.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: At 10 today.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's going to be going off, man. And I'm
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: here for it. That is going to be must-hear radio. Definitely.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: Deacon Donna says, Bryce is a market commodity. Do you
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: see another team willing to pay that much? I would
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: think we could get him at a bargain and spend elsewhere.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Who else will take him? See, someone asked this last hour.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: I kind of disagree with that. I think as quarterback
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: needy as this league is... I think football people will
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: look at Bryce's numbers.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You said it, Bone.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: He has 29 more touchdowns than interceptions since the benching.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: He has been a completely different player since then, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: I think people will look and see the way he
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: plays when things function around him. They'll see the way
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: he's struggled under pressure the last two games, but you
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: can't tell me a quarterback needy team. Quarterbacks don't grow
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: on trees. You can't tell me they wouldn't be interested
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: in Bryce Shaw. I would disagree with what Don is saying.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Look at the theme of the last handful of years.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: No one wanted Baker Mayfield, right? Ends up going to Tampa,
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: finds a spot. No one wanted Darnold. Moved around, Mack
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: goes to Seattle, wins the Super Bowl. Geno Smith's had
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: a revelation in the last, you know, five or six
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: years from where he was. You don't think, Mack, these
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: guys that are quarterback gurus, that have these offensive systems,
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: will take in a quarterback and pay him with Bryce
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Young's talent? You don't think Kevin O'Connell, Mack– could make
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: something out of Bryce Young in his system. There are
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: so many guys now, Matt, that just have to find
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: the right spot. So let's sit here and tell me
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: that Bryce Young couldn't go somewhere with that talent and
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: be productive.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: I disagree with you, man, with the starvation for quarterbacks.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, look at Malik Willis.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: What, did he play a few okay games at the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: end of the year last year?
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, he didn't get 50, but he still got
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: paid a pretty penny. We have a texter, Bone, that
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: thinks we have misinterpreted Mike Florio's report. Alex from Steel
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Creek says, I'm confused.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Far down the road means they're not close. Doesn't far
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: down the road mean they're far down the road?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: That means that they're close to their destination. Because at
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: the end of the report, Alex, he talks about what's
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: left is getting into the guarantee stuff. Like, it's so
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: close that now what's left is the guarantees. That means
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: they're close to a deal. How is— For what Mike
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Florio said.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I'll read it again. I'll read it again.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: By the way, there's another report I see on PFT
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: that Panther fans.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Alex may have just found out something for the first
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: time in his life here that far down the road doesn't.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was all for it on the road. I mean,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: even Bo knows that saying.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: Absolutely.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: He doesn't know other ones, but he knows that one.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: Here's how Florio put it. As to Bryce Young, we've
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: recently caught wind of chatter that the Panthers are, quote,
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: far down the road towards signing him to a second
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: deal in excess of $ 50 million per year. That means
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: far down the road. That means they are well on
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: their way there to signing this deal. Right?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Yes. Why did Alex not get that one? I don't know.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know. All right.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: The term down the road or far down the road
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: means in the future or at a later time.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I think the far was the key point there. We
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: also have. Means they're progressing. That's what he means.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: We also have people clowning me for calling our good friend,
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: Brentson Buckner, Benson Buckner. This texter says Benson Buckner sounds
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: like the opening act for Luke Combs. Can we get
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: a retroactive mop while you were gone? We had an
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: incident here. Multiple incidents were here, Bone. Multiple incidents. 704
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: number says Benson Buckner sounds like the star of a
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: sitcom where a former D lineman becomes the butler. Shout
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: out to the old show, Benson. That's a reference to
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: the old show, Benson, that many of you are too
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: young to get.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: One of my great viewing pleasures as a child. Robert Guillaume, right? Yes,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: hell yeah, man. Bobby G was my guy.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Alex in Steel Creek is still defiant, Bone. says Florio
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: used the phrase wrong.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Well, then you can go ahead and let Mike Florio
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: know he used it wrong. In this particular case, with
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: the writing that he had, he said they were close.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: It's a matter of doing the guarantees. That doesn't mean
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: they're far apart, Alex and Steel Creek. Why don't you
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: stay in Steel Creek, far down the road from us?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I just, I don't know, Alex, I love you, man.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: I love your text, but like, it feels pretty obvious
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: to me that far down the road towards an extension
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: in excess of.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: 50 million means, man, they've done a lot of work.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I love it. They've made it. They made it close.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: They made it pretty far.
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Stay on topic, all right? This show is a topic-based show,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and you're going off the rails. That would never happen
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: to you. That's frowned upon here. TB Raysfan says, I
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: love the show, Benson.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Glad to know there's someone else out there old enough.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Now we have debate on the text line. Drew Tang,
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: the Drew Tang clan, is that what he calls his family?
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Drew Tang says, Alex is an idiot, but the great
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Lemonhead Johnson says Alex is correct.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: What?
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: How do we have to talk about this? Do you
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: want to pay Bryce or not? Oh, my gosh. It
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter where you are on the road.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I want to be far down the road right now
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: going home.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Is it Jeffro or Jethro?
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: That's Jeffro. Jeffro says the word far is what makes
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: it funky. No, that's what describes it. If he just
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: said they're down the road towards an extension with Bryce
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: in excess of $ 50 million, you wouldn't have any idea
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: of where on the road it was. But when he
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: says far down the road, that then tells you, man,
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: they've made a lot of progress towards an extension at
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: a time when we didn't even know if they were talking.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: We didn't even know if they were talking in season.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Also, Florida uses the word towards in the write-up there
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: as a text or points out.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, 704 says the key word is towards, not for.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: The towards is in there, yeah. Can we say that
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: they both mean something here? Now this guy's trying to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: come at me. We agree, sir.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I respectfully love Alex in Steel Creek, and I hate
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: him at the same time.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: B-Dog says, who thinks of this stuff? Another texter.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: You guys can get into arguments with texters over the
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: lamest things.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Not me. Guilty. Very guilty. Not this guy.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: Boom says, not him. I've seen that head turned around
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: backwards and the hard typing.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Got in a fight about pierogies recently, but we've decided
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: to be better off not arguing anymore about pierogies.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: 980 number says, who cares about the semantics? The fact
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: is they're talking deal and they should not be talking deal.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: Bryce's season is about ready to go in to the toilet.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: I would say let's see what the answers are. The
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: O-line concerns me. And I certainly, Bone, am very worried.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: if Bryce, how often he can duplicate what he was
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: doing in the first five weeks of the season. But
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: we know there are going to be like, there's going
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: to be match-ups like the Lions match-up where they were
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: able to come up with a game plan, Bone, where they, again,
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: same offensive line started there, started against Green Bay and
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: they were able to work around it. They will, I'm
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: not saying Bone, they're not going to pass protection issues
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: and Bryce won't have days like mama talked about.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: But there's going to be I still believe there's going
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: to be days are going to be able to run it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: There's going to be days are going to get the
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: lead and not have to pay. Like there's going to
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: be days where they're going to be able to take
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: advantage of the I still believe there's good days for season.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: I'm not convinced that Bryce Young the season's in the crapper.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: You know, there are people arguing about Florio's wording on
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: his post about what it means. OK, so we're not
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: the only ones that the the person named Sidney Rice
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: fan club, which, by the way, You're going way back
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: on that one. He says the wording is weird, but
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: what he said was he's meaning they're making progress.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean. There you go, Sidney Rice fan club.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: All right, Mac.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: We come back here on the Mac and Bone show.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: College football playoff reaction. What did the committee do wrong?
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: And is it possible the committee loves the SEC more
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: than Finney.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Loves his sweetie? Got me on that one. Sports Radio
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: 92.7 WFNZ.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: If Lenore Sellers continues to play the way he's playing now.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: They have a chance to beat anybody.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: They got a little.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: Swagger going about them right now. They got a chip
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: on their shoulder.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: He's probably the closest to Trinidad Chambliss in the country
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: when he's on.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: Man, there's something about a team that's playing with urgency
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: and playing angry. And I would say right now, South Carolina,
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: and with a quarterback who's playing with confidence, I would
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: say right now, now, can they maintain it?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: And the only people that believe in South Carolina are
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: the guys in that locker room.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Literally, that's the.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Only people that believe in them. And they haven't forgotten that.
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: And I hope they're able to keep that chip because
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: if they keep it, they could potentially be a serious factor.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: That is Kirk Herbstreit, Joey Galloway on their podcast, talking
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: about the Gamecocks, raving about the Gamecocks. They are becoming
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: darlings again, Bone, but they've dug themselves a hole. Ranked 21st.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: They've got obviously no room for error, but I ain't
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: going to lie to you. I think Georgia's an amazing team.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: They might be the best team in the country. But
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: I saw Georgia have a hideous loss to Auburn. South
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Carolina on any given Saturday, Bone, depending on the way
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: the game plays out, is more than capable of beating
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: Georgia and winning every game the rest of the year.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: And they're going to be right there in the mix
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: if they do that, man.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Like, it's weird because if I had to pick a
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: team right now, I'm most confident that I'd say can
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: win it all in this whole group of chaos. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: would probably say when push comes to shove, it's Georgia.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: But Georgia does also have, back of all these teams here,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: the worst loss, which is Auburn at 4-4. And if
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: an ACC team like Miami had a 4-4 loss, lost
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: to a team that's 4-4, they'd be removed from any
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: discussion whatsoever and not allowed in the playoff for three
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: to five years. But also at the same time, Georgia
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: didn't play the hardest non-conference schedule either. So I think
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Georgia is the best team, but their resume also has
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: some holes in it too here.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: Yes, it got one hole. It's got one hole, right?
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: The Georgia restaurant. And that's a big old hole.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: But I also mean that they didn't play anybody in
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: the non-conference either, though. It's not like they have a
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: non-conference win that's really great either.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: No, but they got a top five win. Now, should
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: it be a top five win? beating Bama? That's a
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: question too.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: That's a question we're about to get into when we
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: talk about the SEC being absolutely just fawned over by
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: the committee. Um, all right, let's talk about, I just,
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: I think that the key thing is for Gamecock.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Fans, you're, you're, you know, you're there, you're hanging around
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: You can't lose another game that will do you in,
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: even if it's a Georgia loss, but you're in the
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: neighborhood to where if you don't lose, and if you
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: play like you are, you have a chance to truly
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: win every one. And then you get compared to all
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: those other three lost SEC teams.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: We got invited to a neighborhood party and we're told
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to bring a dish. There you go. That's something, baby.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: How long do we stay at the party? We don't know.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: That's something. That is definitely something.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Um... Are you bothered? Well, let's run down where the
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: SEC teams rank. We just said South Carolina's 21. We
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: said Georgia's two behind Miami. This is the first college
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: football playoff rankings from last night. Other SEC teams. So
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: after Georgia two, it's Utah three, Indiana four. Then Alabama
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: at five, Kentucky six, Texas seven, three straight SEC teams there.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: So four of the top seven are SEC. Then you
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: get the unbeaten UCLA and BYU at one loss at nine.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: And then Ole Miss is 10 with two losses. And
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: then you get bone to Notre Dame and Ohio state,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: very controversial that they're down that far. Tennessee with two
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: losses at 13. LSU with two losses at 14. Missouri
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: with two losses at 18. Wake at 16. We already
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: had that discussion. And then South Carolina 21. Florida 24
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: as a three-loss SEC team as well. If we had
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: a 2014 playoff, nine teams would be in based on
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: this right now. Does the rankings of... You already called
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: out Georgia, Bone, and said, you're not penalizing for that
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: crappy Auburn loss, which is a legit point. Are you
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: bothered by the SEC having four in the top seven,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: five in the top ten? Does that trigger you this morning?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I can be bothered by Georgia, but the fact of
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: the matter is, if it's not Georgia, then who is it?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like there's... these clear-cut teams, Mac.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: So I was just pointing out that even Georgia at two,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: they could be nitpick, but they do have the win
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: over Bama. So that does make sense what you said.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I'm actually more bothered, Mac, by Indiana than I am
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: the SEC teams because they have... They have wins over
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: each other. They're doing the cannibal thing on each other.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: There's going to be a lot of three-loss teams from
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the SEC in the playoff. But to me, Indiana is
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: the team that is banking off reputation from last year
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: and not who they are this year. They played no
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: one in the non-conference. They have they've snuck out some
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: victories over Minnesota and Michigan and Northwestern.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, they almost beat Ohio State.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: But to me, those SEC teams are more proven despite
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: the losses than Indiana at eight and one, who I
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: do not think is the fourth best team.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Don't have a ranked win and have struggled to beat
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: three unranked teams.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Like, just, I'm talking skin of their teeth, 60-yard field goal. Like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, they have struggled to do it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: That Indiana ranking is based off who they were a
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: year ago and not who they are now. I have
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: more of a problem with that than some.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Of the SEC teams.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: The Bama ranking bothers me at five. That feels way
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: too high for a two-loss football team. And why are
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: they so separate from Tennessee who beat them? They're eight
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: spots ahead of Tennessee who not just beat them, beat
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: them by double digits, and you watched that game, Bone,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: handled them. kick their fannies and their eight spots lower.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: That doesn't make sense. I guess they're thinking, well, Kentucky's
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: got one loss. We got, we've got to get them ahead.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: They've got to be ahead. I guess they thought head
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: to head matters. So we put Alabama who beat Kentucky
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: over them. But then again, Tennessee, Alabama had had done
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: matter one iota, Indiana, Ohio state had to had done
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: matter one iota. I think the thing that gets me
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: to is some of the narratives bone, that the public,
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: not really public, the media spews about the SEC. I
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: don't know if the committee said this, and the chairman
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: said this, Hunter, you were a check last night, but
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: multiple panelists were making excuses for losses. Because they came
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: after hard-fought games.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Galloway was talking about it, yeah. Georgia and McElroy, too.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: Georgia's loss to Auburn, they were saying that should not
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: be held against them that much because they played this
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: physical battle against Alabama the week before. And they were absolving... the,
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: the SEC teams of their losses after their big wins.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: And it's like, I am, is the committee really doing that?
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Because if they are, that's, that's BS. I have never
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: heard that before. It's who you played.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: It's Jay Billis, right? Who you played, who you beat.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: We're going to start getting into, well, that horrible loss
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: doesn't really mean anything because they played a really tough game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Like that should not be taken into account, should it? No, no,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: not at all.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: And it feels like it's only used for the SEC
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: because of the amount of teams that are involved in this. Look,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: it's going to be fascinating how this whole thing shakes
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: out back and where the rankings are today and where
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: they end up just in a couple of weeks from now, because.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Look, man.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I still believe in Georgia as the
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: best team, but they could have two losses back by
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Saturday night. I mean, they could be on that two
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: loss category with Ole Miss. And then all of a
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: sudden you start looking at it as Georgia with two losses,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: once to Auburn, no real non-conference with the note. All
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, all these SEC teams are going to have.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: wins in their favor, losses in their favor. I have
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: no idea how the committee is going to sort out
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: all those teams.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Although they may just say, everybody's in. Everybody, you get
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: a spot. You get a spot. You want it, Vandy?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: You get it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: Two things that bother me about the SEC love from
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: the committee. One is they spent much of their offseason
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: whining about how they're not getting rewarded for their gauntlet,
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: their strength of schedule bone. And they whine to the
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: college football playoff people, too, and publicly. And I'll be
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: damned if it doesn't look like it's a direct reaction
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: of their whining. That's kind of annoying. The other thing, too,
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: is the SEC got them to put in this new metric,
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: this new conference rule. strength of conference rating. Why do
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: you need a strength of conference rating? Shouldn't your individual
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: strength of schedule suffice? Like if you have a strong conference,
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: you will have a good strength of schedule and you
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: can just use that, right? Like if your conference is bad-ass,
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: you will have a bunch of ranked wins. So they
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: put in this strength of conference rating where the SEC
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: benefits because they're SEC teams.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: We already thought, Bone, they were.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Benefiting because they're SEC teams, but now they literally benefit
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: because they're SEC teams. So there's a couple of things
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: I can nitpick there about it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: That bothers me.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Big Payne says, you guys haven't figured it out. Non-SEC
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: and non-Big Ten teams, or I guess he's saying SEC
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: and Big Ten teams, get the best preseason ranks and
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: first CFP ranks to make it hard for other teams
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: to climb from any other conference.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Well, big pain, I will say, though. Like, Indiana, where
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: were they two years ago? And they got in there.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: That's a Big Ten team, though. He's saying Big Ten
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: and SEC. Although that's a climber. He was saying anti-climbers. Yeah,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I was saying a Big Ten team did climb that
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: wasn't ranked a couple years ago. So there's examples. I mean,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Kentucky's won this year. They had to earn their way
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: up there this year. So sometimes they earn it. I
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: will say, too, another team, I know you love them,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: but do we really think Utah is going to hang
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: in there a three the whole time?
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: I was surprised by that. I do think that they
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: can win out in their schedule.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: They're good. There's no doubt.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: I think they're about to give it to BYU, especially
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: if BYU's still not LJ Martin. Their running game's been brutal.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: But as a schedule rank of 83rd, so they rewarded
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: unbeaten with an 83rd schedule rank at three. Why did UCLA,
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: with a 77 schedule rank unbeaten.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Come in at eight?
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: See, Utah's going to— They're so inconsistent, man. Utah's going
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: to beat BYU, then lose to Arizona the next week
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: on the road. I think that's what's going to happen
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: for them.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: That's what you're calling right there? Yeah, it's going to
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: be one of those deals. I've been pretty good at
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: calling those this year. My point, maybe you're right. Maybe
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: you're right. Maybe that's my thing. I get to call
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: losses weeks in advance. I know losses.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: But, like, you understand what I'm saying about the— Like,
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: they didn't really penalize Indiana for not beating any ranked teams.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: UCLA seems penalized bone for their strength of schedule, but
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: their strength of schedule is better than Utah. It's just,
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: there's so many weird things in there.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Like right now, if UCLA plays Indiana head to head,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: UCLA was better than Indiana right now. Today, UCLA would
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: beat Indiana today. I think it'd be a hell of
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: a game. It would be a good game. There is
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: something about Indiana. They're hard to kill, you know, but
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: UCLA also has not beaten any ranked teams, right?
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Or no, they beat Oregon. So they have one more
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: ranked win than Indiana. And they don't have a loss.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: And they're still four spots behind Indiana, to your point.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: This text just says, why are... The UCLA could be
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: in trouble against Minnesota this weekend. This text, 704, says,
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: I love the griping about Notre Dame and Ohio State.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Those two obnoxious fan bases can suck it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: There you go. That is not from my burner. It's aggressive.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I want you to know that that's not from my burner.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: I completely sign off on everything that Texter said, but
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: that was not from my burner. I just want to
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: say that I just love that the fact that Buckeye
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: fans and Notre Dame fans had horrible nights last night.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: I just love it. I find it humorous that Notre
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Dame saying has been leave no doubt. And here we
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: are just shrouded in doubt when it comes to the Irish.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: If they don't beat Miami, they are in severe trouble bone,
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: severe trouble. And to your point from last hour, like
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: I think they'll win. Vegas thinks they'll win. Vegas has
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: them as a five and a half point favorite. So like,
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: I think Miami's teetering. I think a loss is inevitable.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: And as you said, Notre Dame now knows our season's
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: on the line, but I still do find it funny
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: that they're not getting their way.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: In Wake Forest, Wake Forest had a chance against Miami
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: because in the second half, Tony wasn't as big of
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: a factor. Last week against UNC, they were talking about
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: it last night with Booger McFarlane, the bracket coverage... that
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: UNC deployed on Tony kind of took him out of
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: the game and allowed UNC a chance. Notre Dame has
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Leonard Moore, one of the best defensive players in the country.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Is that going to be the blueprint of if you're
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: going to beat us, Miami, it's going to be with Barcate,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: the run game. When Tony's not as big of a factor,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: that's when they've been vulnerable at times this year.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Notre Dame's defense can maybe– You know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: slow him. That's all Carolina did. Seven for 75 and
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: two touchdowns ain't a bad day at the office for Tony.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: But they slowed him a little bit. The thing with
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: Miami is, I think Clark can light their secondary up.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: That Miami secondary has looked brutal. That's a boom against
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: Florida State.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: And Carolina's pass attack shredded them?
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: In a weird way, even though Miami's No. 1 8-0,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: are they in a little bit of trouble here? Like,
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: if they lose to Notre Dame in the ACC with
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: their resume, are they going to find themselves kind of
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: in the spot that Notre Dame currently is in right now?
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I don't mean, like, the exact ranking, but are they
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: going to end up with a little— have to sweat a
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: little bit here?
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: That's what I was saying earlier.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Like, if Miami loses a game— Even if it's Notre Dame,
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: I wonder then if they can't afford a loss in
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: the ACC title game.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering that too.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? And if they get blown
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: out by Notre Dame, look out. If this is not
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: a close game, I think it will be.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: I feel like the committee would love to penalize an
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: ACC team for their first loss of the season in
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: game nine. But this is bad for the ACC. That's
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: a huge game for the ACC, obviously, because if Notre
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: Dame beats them, Are we looking at no chance at
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: two teams for the ACC?
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Then you got to hope that Wake just has one
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: loss the whole time. Then it's a whole new scenario.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, because Wake.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Don't you think Wake has to win the ACC to
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: get in based on these rankings?
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Wake can't lose to SMU along the way either. They
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: definitely can't. They can't lose to Miami again and get in,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: can they? Not where they're ranked right now.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: And then Miami, if they lose a game, would they
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: be allowed to lose the second game to Wake Forest? Like,
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: that's what I'm saying is that it becomes like, at
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: least now the ACC has a scenario of if Wake
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: beats Miami, but Miami runs the table, two teams will
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: get in because the champ now they changed it to,
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: you would have liked this rule last year as a
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: Duke fan, but now the rule is the champ is
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: guaranteed again to get in. So like if, so if
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: Miami and runs a table beat, but loses Wake, Wake
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: runs a table, beats Miami, I think the ACC gets two.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: If Notre Dame beats Miami, then I think it's one.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: That's my fear, man, for the ACC. Just throwing it
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: out there. What if the defending champs beat Miami and
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: wait for it?
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: It's all on the way here. I'm just throwing it
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: out there. There you go. Then you're in, baby. How
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: about that? Finally, a little justice.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: If you win the ACC, you're in. You have them
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: both on your– Duke has them both, right? Duke's got
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: a hell of a schedule the rest of the way.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: At NC State this weekend, then they've got– At Miami,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: Clemson at home at Wake Forest. That's a hell of
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: a fun end of the season for Duke. Seriously.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: And Clemson going to be riding high once they get
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: to that big sixth win Dabo been telling everybody about? Oh,
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: could you imagine the emotional boost from that? Anyway, I
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: could talk all day about this stuff. We're getting a
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: bunch of text. I just love the passion. I know
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: this system's goofy. The committee's so inconsistent and loves the SEC,
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: and it's annoying. But I just love the debates, man.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Man, we have random crap coming up next. A potential
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Greg Olson. Well, we got potential new Greg Olson job
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: news here. And shocking news. LeBron James has triggered folks
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: with an in-game moment. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Random crap.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Random crap. Mac and Bone talk random crap. Random crap.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Random crap. Mac and Bone talk random crap. Random, random crap.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Random crap. Random crap.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: What the deuce?
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, crap. Oh, crap.
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: We stink like a baby's blowout infested diaper.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: They talk about crap that is random. It's the Queen
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: City's favorite born in tandem. Mac and Bone. Random crap.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Mac and Bone. Oh, no. We got Fitty news for
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: this segment.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: And does it not fit perfectly in the random crap
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: segment about Fitty? That's the big tease, is what did
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: Fitty do to really... make things stinky around the office
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: here for people what.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Did he do finney finney embarrassed the station and that's
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: not easy to do all.
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: Right let's go first let's build up to that one
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: though this is going to be the big thing you
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: got to stick around can't go into the office yet
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: you got to hear what the heck finney did to
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: disrupt this office.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: All i simply said is why are the plumbers here
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: and then finney had a sheepish look and we'll explain
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: in a minute What do we.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Think, Bone, about LeBron?
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: In the game the other night, third quarter of the
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: game the other night for the Sixers against the Bulls,
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: LeBron chased a loose ball, collided with a fan that
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: was carrying a cup of red wine, which the article
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: points out is James' favorite wine. And after colliding into them,
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: the cup of wine's right there, and he takes it
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: and takes a little sip of wine. And this has
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: made some folks that probably can't stand LeBron as it is, Bone, Angry.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: He's drinking wine during the game. He can't do that.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: He was kind of laughing it off, saying, hey, I
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: was curious how it tasted or whatever. Do you feel
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: like this is a controversial situation, Bo?
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Obviously, this is very controversial. I'm shocked that LeBron's favorite
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: beverage is wine.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: That's well played right there man that is well played.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Now mac so i mean does any other player if
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: they uh would they have to do a breathalyzer test
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: after that or is lebron get away with being uh
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: inebriated on the court i feel like he can handle
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: a sip he does love his wine i feel like.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: He would not i feel like that wouldn't register bone
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: on the breathalyzer if he did after just one sip
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: of wine.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Um that would be so funny if a coach challenged
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: and said we want to challenge uh LeBron being drunk
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: They got to bring out the breathalyzer. Let's go to
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: the breathalyzer. LeBron annoys me. I love finding things that
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: I can go after LeBron for. This doesn't feel like
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: one of them, though. Feels like a silly kind of fun,
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: like it's a fun star-fan interaction moment.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: I'm shocked in one night we had LeBron anger the internet,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Draymond fight Dylan Brooks, and Kevin Durant argue with a
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: media member.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: I never saw that happening in 2026. That's the NBA
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: midweek night trifecta right there, baby.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, Draymond had Brooks by the neck the other night.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you right now, like, I have never seen
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: two dudes fight that I just want to beat the
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: pulp out of each other simultaneously. Like, I was just
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: rooting for carnage. When you showed me that fight, I'm like, please,
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: can we get carnage on both sides? Oh, what a
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: couple of jack wagons, man. Anyway, 704-570-968. People loving Bones.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: Of course, LeBron loves a line there, which was a
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: good one.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Very solid. Very well played. Very solid.
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: So what do we think about these reports, Bone, that
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: are out there about what is a soon-to-be-vacant Monday Night
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: Football job with Troy Aikman.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: So obviously on the way out?
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: There was a report out there saying that Peyton Manning
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: is the first choice, but that Greg Olsen is the.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Most likely choice.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: Choice where they like greg they're going to take a
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: shot at peyton but they don't really feel like peyton
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: would want to do that and that greg would be
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: the likely one that they're interested in that would be.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: A great gig for our boy geo would it.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Not feels like in the uh musical chairs or broadcasters
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: that yeah geo goes uh to monday night football herb
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: street already signed uh with amazon jj watt just got
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: a big deal at cbs and collinsworth walked in to
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: um to NBC that Aitman might be out of the
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: business they're talking about. He may go do... They're talking
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: about him going to help Jerry out or whatever now.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: He might be out of broadcasting because he's not going
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: to go be a number two broadcaster. So it's like
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: he might be the odd man out of this. Unless
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Herbstreit does have that clause that other guys can take
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: his Amazon job. So I don't know if that's a possibility,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: but I don't know if Aikman doesn't even want to
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: do it anymore.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He wants to grab Joe Buck by
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: the neck like he's Dylan Brooks.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they may have a Draymond-Dylan fight in the booth
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: here one of these weeks. If Aikman does end up
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: working for the Dallas front office bone, maybe he can
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: convince Jerry Jones that if you pay a coach a
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: lot of money because he's accomplished a lot of things
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: in the league, he may succeed. Because Jerry, for some reason,
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: doesn't see the correlation. Did you see Kelly Stafford's social
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: media post?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, I did.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Thoughts and prayers to her, by the way. This is
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: a very serious situation.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: This is heartbreaking.
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: She is not shy about voicing her opinions, but the
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: Internet is not shy about responding to her opinions. She
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: is complaining that the Rams, Bone, don't get– she thinks
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: they get shortchanged on their bye week because the week
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: after their bye week, they play the– is it Wednesday game, right?
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: The night before Thanksgiving? Yeah, they play Green Bay on
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: the Wednesday night, yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: So she's like, we have this short week right after
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: the bye.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: We don't get the full two weeks.
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: Between games, like, everybody else gets and listen that that
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: might be a reasonable gripe right but then she goes
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: on to say that she needs a break this season
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: this season has been hard on her cheering in the
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: stands she goes i can't imagine how badly the players
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: need a two-week break because i desperately need two weeks off.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I need a break from watching your pedestrian Rams team
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: on all over the place. A team we thought was
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: going to be the greatest of all time. And it
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: turns out they're not really that great to watch.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Life must be a hard man for a woman to
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: have to sit there and watch her husband get paid
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: about 50 plus million.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Poor Brittany Mahomes and Kelly Stafford this week. Just a
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: lot going on in their lives.
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: Brittany Mahomes team just can't get a call because they're
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: the Chiefs. They just, you know, of course we didn't
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: get a call.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Let's get to the, let's get, let's, let's plunge
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: into the Finney situation here. Let's plunge into it. So
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Finney just made an admission.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: We saw some fellas here that we believe are here
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: to handle our front lobby toilets.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Because an email came in yesterday that said the lobby
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: bathroom's out of service. And my first thought was, oh no.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Did Finney do something? I meant it as a joke.
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: Yes, but Finney then put his hand in the air
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: like a player when he gets a foul.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: That's on me.
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: Finney, explain what happened in the lobby bathroom yesterday, sir.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: If I necessarily did it. I think the bathroom was
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: already messed up. But when I went in, didn't pay
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of attention to it. But let's just
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: say yesterday, had to go to the bathroom. Got done
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: going to the bathroom. Toilet would not flush.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: I walked in there after the show, and I saw it,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: and I said to myself, what grotesque monster didn't flush
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: the toilet?
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: It turns out, this man.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Now, when you say you think- When you see another
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: man's scraps, that changes everything.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Ha!
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I know what the guy's working with here.
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: Especially with his diet. It wasn't like he's eating salads
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: on the regular. Imagine what his... Anyway, that's disgusting.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Didn't mean to put that image there. Like
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: a baseball bat.
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: When you say, Phitty, that you now think it was
• 41:32
