  Speaker 2: locking in our official predictions for what the Panthers will
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: do this year. Are they going to make it back-to-back
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: playoff appearances? We had a surprise presser yesterday from David
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Tepper after practice with the Assembled Media. We will definitely
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: review a lot of that, let you hear a lot
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of that if you have not already. The Seahawks rally
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: last night for a win. It wasn't the prettiest, but
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it was a win for the Seahawks. Against New England,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we'll review that. We got Brooks injury news. We got
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Pat Jones injury news. We got Charlotte FC coming back
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: from 1-0 down on the road to get a win
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: last night. And, man, Maxie is a bad man. My God,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: he creates a lot of stuff. for his teammates. We'll
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: talk about it here today on the Mac and Bone Show. Oh,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and that LSU SEC thing, I think it might be
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: calmed down now.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Might be good. We'll talk about it all. Bone is
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in the house.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Finney is in the house as we get ready to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: do this thing. A giant football day on the Mac
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and Bone Show.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: What's up, Boney? What's up with you, man? What's happening?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: How's everything going? Oh, I got to have a got
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a name here, don't I? Who am I today, bro?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: What's up, bro Piscopo? Bro Piscopo. That's a good one.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Old school.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Old school reference that the kiddies may have to go
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: look up. But don't stray from the radio. We need
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: you to stay here on the air also. You got
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: to be way old to get that one, man.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Way old.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Vinny, you a bro Piscopo guy. No idea what bro
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: Piscopo means. He says no Piscopo to that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I say no bro Piscopo, bro. Okay. There you have it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: There you have it, everybody. Oh, man. All right. So
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: before we get to the Panthers, I sound like Nick Saban.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Before we get to the Panthers injury stuff, the Charlotte
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: FC game last night and the excitement I have for
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the way this team is playing right now.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Let's start.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: With the Seahawks bone rallying to beat the Patriots last night.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Ugly offensive game. Chris Collinsworth made the point we all
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: were thinking, man, this is week one football. And it
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was ugly offensively.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And then the defense.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That great defense for Seattle, even missing some guys, Bono,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that back end started to spark the rally. Drake May
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: definitely played his role with three late interceptions in this game,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: including a horrible one on that final drive in the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: red zone, in the end zone to end the game.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold out in the first quarter of this game.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: drew lock in but seattle rallied from 10-0 down bone
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the second half to win it 13-10 it was good
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to have football back it was a dramatic ending it
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: wasn't pretty football last night what'd you think bo uh.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah it definitely uh teams that uh were playing in
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: week one not not necessarily full go not only week
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: one mac playing on a wednesday of week one and
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: it felt like that at times a very seattle I
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: would say like Wynn, they get the big play from JSN.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: They get enough out of their quarterback, despite it being
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: the backup. Their defense is awesome. That is a very
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Seattle as they're currently constructed like Wynn last night.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It was, man.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And listen, their offense looked pretty bad, and I'm thinking
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that had something to do with the Patriots' defense, who
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: were getting after the quarterback, including Sam Darnold on that
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: first series where he got injured, where he had the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: hip injury that put him out for the game. I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: do think Seattle's offense without Sam Darnold, even though Drew
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Locke statistically, 16-22, played pretty well statistically, I think that
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: was a factor. I think one of the big stories, unfortunately,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: for the hometown kid here in Charlotte is Drake May.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Mistake after mistake after mistake. I can only imagine if
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Bryce Young threw three interceptions like that bone to hand
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a game over. They all weren't particularly pretty, to be
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: honest with you. The one was forced deep, tipped. The
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: other DB picked it off.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: The one over the middle.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he was seeing on that one.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Threw it right to the DB. And then the one
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: at the end of the game is just horrible. I mean,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it is third down. You are a field goal down.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You are in the red zone. Throw the ball away.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Throw the ball away. Kick the field goal and go
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to overtime. Instead, Bone, he throws an off-balance, fall-away jumper.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: To the end zone, forced to a guy that was covered,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and the ball was picked off. I like Drake Mays,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a total class act. He's an awesome quarterback. I don't
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: want anybody to think I'm on here today trying to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: tell you. I'm sure somebody on a message board somewhere
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: today is saying.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Drake Mays overrated! Mom, get the meatloaf! And Drake Mays overrated!
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Like somebody's in mom's basement acting a fool.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure over that. But that was terrible. No, it
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: was awful.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: And I will say, I know that it was game one,
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: so this doesn't count for Seattle having a record over.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: 500 based off last night's game. But entering last night,
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: he is 5-8 in his career, Mac, against teams over.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: 500.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: And he has struggled mightily in a lot of those games. So, yes,
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: there was a thing last year where... the Patriots' schedule
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: was a big question mark, and were they successful in
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: large part because of the schedule? Well, Drake May does
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: have to perform better. That's his next step. He does
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: have to perform better against the better teams in the league. Yeah,
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: I think that's fair to say. I don't think it's
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: fair to say, oh, this guy's overrated. I don't think
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: we can do all that. But he's a young quarterback,
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: and it's just— He's not a finished— he' s by no means
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: a finished product either.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And he lost— why do I want to say Antonio Brown?
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: A.J.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Brown.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: A.J.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Brown. We lost Antonio Brown a long time ago. We did.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: We did.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, he lost A.J. Brown, so that doesn't help.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Matt Collins made some big catches, though, for them in
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: big situations. They went for it on multiple fourth downs
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: on that drive. and got it, and that's why it's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: just such a shame, not that I'm crying over a
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Boston team losing a sporting event, but it's a shame
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: that he made that mistake from their perspective because it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: was a great drive, and they could have sent this
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: thing into overtime last night, and they did not. But
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: entertaining finish. Entertaining, down-to-the-wire finish, even if it wasn't ugly football.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I will ask, though, Boney, for maybe more points tonight.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like to see down under,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see a little bit more offense.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, I expect a more high
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: octane game tonight, but again, it is week one and
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: this is a very unique game played what 20 hours
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: away from the state. So on paper, yes, these teams
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: should play what we would think would be a more
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: exciting game in terms of the, highlights of the game
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: but again i don't know sometimes these international games week
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: one games we'll see what happens tonight i know who
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: i know one team that plays good in week one
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: uh traditionally is the panthers opponents oh boy how do
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: you do that i.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Know everybody doesn't play bad in week one bone because
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: i've seen the other teams around us recently.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Too negative on a week one Thursday, y'all.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Anyway, if you didn't stay up last night, or if
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you did, that's the thoughts on last night's game between
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the Patriots and Seattle. It will be Rams-Niners tonight, 835
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: tonight on Netflix. This is a Netflix game, so Keekly's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: got it, right? And a probably assembled cast of 700 others, probably,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: during the course of the broadcast.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: The entire world will Netflix and chill tonight.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: No?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I just want a Netflix and football. I don't need
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to chill tonight.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: It is a thrilling and chilling Thursday. Save that for
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: the summer months when we're all free of mind. It
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: is Noah Eagle and Luke Keekly on the call. So
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: that's a great crew. I'd have to look up, though, Mac,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: how many people are involved on this trip. They probably brought...
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: 77 people. The cast of Stranger Things has now, I think,
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: joined them. Even though the show's done. Oh, my goodness.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, that show's done? Yeah, apparently.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I never watched one second of that show. That looks
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: too sci-fi-ish for me. I don't know. It doesn't look
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: like my bag. Here's the crew, Mac. Elle Duncan, studio host.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Analysts in the panel, they brought Michael Irvin over there.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Michael Irvin, Nick Foles, and Clay Matthews. Michael Irvin telling America,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you're all paying. You're all paying for the action you get.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with Jed York. Noah Eagle, Lou Keegly, Tom Palacero,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and MJ Acosta-Ruiz. So they do have about 10 people involved.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: They do it big, man. Michael Irvin could always get
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: in trouble before he ends up on the air.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. Do they still want him on
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the air after that whole Jed York thing? Panthers news.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: The sucking news is that Pat Jones is not going
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to play this week. and Pat Jones is week to week.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: It's a back injury. Now, Dave Canales did say that
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Different area i.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Guess we go you got that cut fit let's just
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: let y'all hear from him not not from me trying
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to uh bumble and stumble my way through it this
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: is coach canalis explaining that pat jones has a back
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: injury um but it doesn't sound like bone it has
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: to do with the back surgery that he had last
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: year over the season ending injury.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: That's still related to his back surgery from last.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Year unrelated just an aggravation um and of a different
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: side of it so um We were able to get
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: ahead of it, treat it. We do not expect him
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: to play this week. But he'll be week to week,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: and we're hoping that we can get him turned around
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: pretty quickly. But again, with those issues, we've got to
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: be smart about this and make sure that we're bringing
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: him back with the right cadence and making sure he's
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: ready to go.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: So this is far from ideal. Not good. Far from ideal.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Not what you want to hear. Nick's scoring already out,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: and now Pat Jones is out. It's a back injury.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He's already had a back surgery in the last year.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And he's week to week.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: For a guy that is vital. in terms of role,
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: because while we think Princeley can be a dude, no doubt,
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: the pressure keeps mounting on him more and more, does
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: it not, Matt? He comes into the season, oh, yeah,
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: what can Princeley do behind Skorton and Pat Jones? Princeley
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: can be a factor. Then Skorton goes out. Well, Princeley
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: now has to move up a level, and he's really
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: got a tag team that side with Pat Jones. Now
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Pat Jones out week one. The pressure keeps mounting on
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: the importance we're putting on Princeley here. It seems by
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: the week here.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Big time.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And he had himself some really good moments in the
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: camp in the preseason. He really did. Really encouraging. And
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: you heard Buck talk about it. We had Brenton Buckner
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: on the other day or yesterday raving about him and how,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: you know, he watched him at practice and and this
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: kid's going to be good. But yeah, now all of
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: a sudden, instead of being a guy bone that you
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: let Jones handle the rundowns and then stuff and Prince
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Lee comes in on passing downs. Now you've got to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: figure Prinsley will have to play some of those rundowns,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: have to hold up against the run, which is the
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: thing that I think we worry about with him the most,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and he's got to give you that pass rush ability.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Travis Gibson, Thomas Incombe, these guys will have to step
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: up too. So being down two edge rushers when you
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: play an offense this good is far from ideal.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: You're so right. It's not just the fact that Pat
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Jones is hurt. It's what the injury is. If Emac
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: had a– It's not ideal, but if he had a
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: sore hamstring, all right, well, that sucks, but we'll not
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: concern ourselves too much long-term. But to have an injury
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: where he had surgery, that to me, that leaves a
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: lot of worry.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Even if Dave says it's a different area in the back,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: those back injuries, man, that ain't nothing to be trifled with,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: my friend.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. That is not.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: As a back injury sufferer myself, I completely relate to
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: what Pat Jones said.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Well, you're the oldest 40. How old are you, 42?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: You're the oldest 42-year-old man in America, Bo. I'll be
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: 42 for 35 more days.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You're like dog years.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, your dog is like, what, seven times what the
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: people age would be? There's bone years. It's like five times.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Bone is actually 132 right now. I had to heating
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: pad my back and ice my knees the other day.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: That was just from doing radio. That's my point right there, y'all.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Brooks. Like Robert Parrish. Jonathan Brooks' news is better.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: We found out it's a groin injury, so we've moved
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: from general soreness to a groin injury that he has
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: been dealing with. But he did practice in a limited fashion,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and Canales did still say, hey, I feel good about
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: him playing. So hopefully that will be the case on Sunday.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Do want to shout out Charlotte FC for getting a
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: dub yesterday, Bone. They fell behind 1-0 early in Montreal,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: a place where they're not that great at soccer, but
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: we haven't done that well there for whatever reason. But
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the boys came back and rallied to get this win.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: They defended their butts off, too, at the end of
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: this match, put under a lot of pressure. I love
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the way that they have been defending as a team.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: And what can you say, Bone, about Maxie? I mean,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: that first goal on the counterattack where he gets out,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: draws the defense, leads Abada, and Abada goes bar down,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: top bins to put it in there to tie it
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: at one. And then Maxie started the move for the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: second goal late in the game where he cuts inside,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: draws the defense, plays it outside to Schnegg, who's in space,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: He crosses it. A tremendous dummy by Pep Biel. Dummy
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: is when you'll see a soccer player go like they're
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: going to take.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: The ball themselves. We both looked at Finney when he
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: said that. Let it go past. Let it go past him.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And the defense then goes to Pep Biel because they
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: think he is going to try to shoot. It goes
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: right to Toklamati who puts it in. It was a
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: beautiful goal, and it's a great win for Charlotte FC, Bone.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: They're still in fifth, but they're tied for fourth points-wise,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and they are a point out of third.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: They are right there, man.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Those top two spots are off in the distance a bit,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: but they are right in play for this third-place spot
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: in the east.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: Ridiculous elements. That rain mag looked like it was the
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: scene out of Forrest Gump when it was coming up
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: from the ground at.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: One point yesterday. Either that or Caddyshack, one or the other.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: The hard stuff won't come down for a while now.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: There's rain, and then there's playing through what they were
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: going through there last night. That was insane stuff there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: Shout out to Willie P. also, who sent us the
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: info this morning that the game on Saturday against Cincinnati, Evander.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: who is seen to be second in the MVP race
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: right now behind Messi, yellow card accumulation out against FC
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: on Saturday. So they catch a big break there as well.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, daddy, yes.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Insert Willie P's favorite meme, Jerry Seinfeld eating the popcorn.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: That's a shame. That's a shame. Of course, we won't
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: have Westy.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: That'll be the second straight game we don't have Westy
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: because of red card and yellow card accumulation. But they
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: got it done without him last night. Can we get
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a little P-Man fit dog? Can we get a little
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: early morning pee?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys. In our lives. I can always give you that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Let's go. I can give you that at 1 a.m.,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: 3 a.m., and 5 a.m. Game-winning goal call.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Once again, Bone is the oldest 42-year-old man in America.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, my bladder's always going like Carson Hosovar.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: You have the body. I'm telling you, your body is
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: 132 bone. There's no doubt about it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But there are some people out there like Tara Masu.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Their body is a wonderland.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I'm going to leave that between the two of y'all.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Let the two of y'all worry about that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: We will.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the P-Man. This is the.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Goal late in the game that provided the 2-1 margin
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: of victory.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Hussain Maxman sending it down the left side for Schnegg.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Across to the middle.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: They score!
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: Idan Toklamati came through the middle!
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And the crowd grabbed the lead late in Montreal! Yeah, P.S. Willoughby! Yes, sir!
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: There you go. That's some morning pee for you right there, baby.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I like that game call. That should be a feature.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Matter of fact, that should be the name of his
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: segment instead of Willie's World every Wednesday.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: The morning pee? I like it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: Willie P also right now very active this morning talking
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: about the current life and times mac of joe piscopo

  Speaker 1: A chance that he hasn't slept yet it's possible definitely All.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: Right, when we come back here on the Mac and
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: Bone radio program on this Thursday, David Tepper does a
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: rare Q & A with the Panthers media.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: What did he.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Say when asked about a Bryce extension? And Bryce himself
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: speaks on the Panthers' slow starts. Mac Bone, the Fit
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: Doggy Dog, Sports Radio 92.7.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: He looks good today.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Um, you know, he just, he's got a little bit
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: of soreness in his groin. So we're, we were aware
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: of that and started treating it. Um, And then he
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: went out there, went through the full individuals, took selective
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: reps throughout the practice. So it wouldn't have been his
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: full normal load of a practice, but pretty much he
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: practiced the whole day.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Very optimistic.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, very, very confident that he'll be out there on Sunday.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone with you. Baby,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: it's go time. We had an NFL game last night.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe not a pretty one, but we had an NFL
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: game last night. And we're three days away from the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Panthers playing. Let's get this thing on. Let's stop obsessing
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: over five preseason drives.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And a practice. All right.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And I listen, I obsess over it more than anybody,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: but let's stop doing it and let's get some data.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Let's get some real freaking actual meaningful data on Sunday.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure bone, we will all be reasonable about
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: it on Monday morning, win or lose. Right.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we will.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: That's always a given during football season is people being reasonable,
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: no matter what happens.
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: A lot.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: And a lot of people we do, i can't find
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: someone unreasonable that we deal with.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: No although you're staring at me right now so maybe
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: you have maybe you have found somebody yes And the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: texter is always even keel.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Definitely. Definitely. All right.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, that was Canals on Brooks, obviously. Still says he's
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: optimistic he's going to play. So this is a groin injury.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Does his fiancée, obviously. Has some good intel somehow, Bone.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: When she told the dude on Twitter, it's not the
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: knee injury.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Stop that.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: But a groin injury, I guess that's good news by comparison.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And it sounds like he's going to give it a go.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: But you know the problems with those... You know, muscle
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: injuries like that, you know, do you retweak it and
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: stuff like that?
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Also not a guy I feel great about going out
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: there with any injury at all because of what he's
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: gone through. So you don't want him to, you know,
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: have some sort of misstep, you know, be worried about
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: this injury. I just worry about anything that involves his
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: lower body. At some point, Bone, we've—okay. At some point,
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: we have to let our baby boy go play football.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not ready yet. I'm like a concerned mother.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: You're like a peewee football mom that lost the battle
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: at the dinner table that a baby boy— she wanted a
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: baby boy not to play football.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: You're the father that's saying, let him go, and I'm saying, sweetheart,
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: I'm not ready yet.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: You are the sweetheart right now that I'm yelling at.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Good thing you're not going to the game on Sunday. Guy,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: if he went down, Bone would run out onto the
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: field and hug. You and Brooks' mom would both be
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: out there on the field. Also, with this fan base,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not really welcome at many of the games still.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: That's still, apparently, I'm a jinx. You're playing in one game, though,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: aren't you? Don't do it for the opener. We already
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: have an opener curse. We can't have the bone attendance
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: curse with the opener curse. I'm there to see Sean
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Payton in his purse lips in November.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go. Don't you worry about me. What
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I got going on. Let's see. Oh, I'm worried. I'm worried.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like people worried about me, Bo, when
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I predict the Panthers to win a game.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It's inevitable. We're going to worry.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: Haven't lost yet this year, have you?
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Let's get to David Tepper, because this is pretty damn notable.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I think the last time, I think multiple media members
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: said this, the last time that he has done a
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Panthers-only related Q & A with the media... was back
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: when Frank Reich was fired, back at that press conference.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: So this is a pretty big deal. We're going to
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: have a bunch of audio later. We're going to give
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Tep Daddy his own. I'm sure he's very excited about this.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: His own Sounds of the Panthers segment later on today.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: But let's whet your appetite a little bit for this.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: This is David Tepper being asked the Bryce Young contract extension.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: You'll hear the back and forth here.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Dave, have you guys offered him an extension yet? If so,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: how did those preliminary talks go?
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: You know, that's a question for Dan Morgan. If you
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: need his number, I'll give it to you.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: No, I mean, you want to bring him over here.
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Sure, well, you can talk to him. Go grab him.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: You may talk to him.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Well, do you envision what would prompt you guys to
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: offer him an extension?
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying we have or we haven't either. You
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: should talk to Dan. Look, success is success, and you
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: know it when you see it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: His sense of humor, Matt, can be quite snarky at times,
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: can't it, Mr.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Tepper?
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: He is from the northern portion of the country. I
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: understand that sense of humor.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I do, too.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: But you're doing an impromptu Q & A. Those are
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: the questions you're going to get asked about, is that—
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: So the snarky response of go ask Dan Morgan. Well,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: you're the one right now doing the Q & A there, Deb.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I know you might not have the answer to that,
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: but I don't know if the stark.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: No one. By the way, let's not start Joe Person.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Jumping Joe Person. America's America's reporter. Can I. By the way,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Joe wanted to ask a follow up to that.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: And our friend Bruce Spate, PR maven for the Carolina Panthers,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: cut Joe off. I don't know if they wheeled him
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: out of their bone from the presser. But, and I'm
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: just joking because they wanted to make sure everybody got questions.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: That's what they were trying to do.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: They put Joe in the cooling tent for a while.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: First of all, I thought that was playful from Tepper.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: There's some back and forth yesterday that I guess fans
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: got upset about. The back and forth with Mike K.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: We'll deal with that later in the show. I think
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: some fans got upset about it or whatever. He likes
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: jousting a little bit. There's no doubt about it. Um,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: as far as that one there though, can I say
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: that's way better than when Jerry Jones talks about extensions?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: That's true. That's fair. Very fair.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: He literally said, go talk to the GM. That's what
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I want my owner to say. I don't want my
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: owner to have the answers on the team stance on
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: extensions and how they're dealing with it. And I certainly
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: don't want my owner to act like that buffoon down
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: there in Dallas that refuses to talk to agents during extensions,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: only will talk to the player and acts like a
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: complete jackass.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: That's fair.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: So like, to me, like I, I get what you're saying, bone.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: And that's just the way he is. Like he's like you,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: when you hear some of these answers, you will hear
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Scott Fowler's name referenced about four times. Like, And I'm
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: sure this has to do bone with the last presser
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: he had. He and Scott Fowler, he got on Scott Fowler.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: They had an exchange. So and apparently had a meeting
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: in Tepper's office since then for two hours. Tepper revealed
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: yesterday during this presser. So he likes jousting. You know,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: he does.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: Let me rephrase this. It's not me questioning his answers today.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: it is at times how he goes about answering. It's
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: the tone of which he goes about it. It's not
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: wrong of what he's saying. The GM should be that.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: But it is that. And look, I probably have it too.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: It's that northern snark of which comes across sometimes as–
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: maybe different than he intends maybe a little bit sometimes
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: uh yeah but it's more about how he was saying
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: it than what he was saying.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah i get what you're saying i'm sure there'll be
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: time sure i mean look to the text line i'm
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: sure people are going to going to probably tell you
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: that david tepper was a meanie i'm sure that could
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: come in here um but i'm sure joe can handle
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: it i'm sure scott fowler can handle it bone um
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: uh let's go to a lot of fowlers in the
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: news this week a lot of press multiple press conferences
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: involving the fowler family this week but anyway Did Chappell
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Fowler get the gotcha guy from his dad?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: What if Tepper would have said to Scott Fowler, hey,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you're the father of the gotcha guy? You gotcha guy senior.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to more from David Tepper. This
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: is Tepper talking about Dave Canales giving up the play
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: calling duties to Brad Itzig.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: I think it frees Dave up to really look at
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: everything that's happening during the game. And, you know, what
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: you hope is that he, you know, that we are
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: faster in some of the things that we should be doing,
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: like making the adjustments. So I'm going to, you know,
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: my friend Scott Fowler again. So if you have it
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: and you start out the, you know, start out with the,
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: that you don't anticipate the other team, that you make
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: the games out there, not with his head in the playbook,
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: that he can see what's going on and help make
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: those adjustments sooner. Because that's the name of the game here.
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: you know, making those adjustments to realizing it and making
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: those adjustments. We're not going to be perfect every time
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: we come in. We're not going to know what, we
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: don't know what the heck Ben Johnson's going to do
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: this week.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: You know what Ben Johnson's doing this week? Well, maybe
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: Ben Johnson doesn't even know what he's doing yet this week. So, yeah,
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: but whatever he does and we guess it right, that's great.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: And if we don't guess it right, fix it and
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: fix it. Don't fix it before too long in the game.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: And I think, I think that's one of the things
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: that that really helps for him not to have his
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: head in the playbook.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Makes sense. It makes sense.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's similar, Bone, to what we've all been saying,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: which is it just frees up Dave Canales to be
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: the overall head coach. Yes.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think anyone– I think Dave Canales
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: has said it. I think that's the overall reason behind it,
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: and I think that's a very good thing. And as
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: we've said multiple times, for a young coach like Canales
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: to recognize that and not try to hang on with
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: a death grip onto what is something that he was–
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: in fact, we know he was play-calling– Look at the
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: stuff about him envisioning the game in the booth before
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: it's even played. We know how much that stuff means
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: to him. So for him to give that up, that's
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: a great sign for Dave Canales and where he is
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: mentally as a coach.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: And listen, I'm sure people out there are thinking, of
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: course Tepper likes it. He probably told Dave to do it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: People over there swear to me that Dave did this
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: on his own. So that's all I can go off of.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: It is a bit rare for a guy to improve
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: a team by three wins, make the first playoff berth
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: for a team in nine years, and give up play calling.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Offensive guys, Bone, that's why they get these jobs, right?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: So they don't necessarily— they got to this point in life,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: in their career— Because of being the offensive guy, right?
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: So they don't want to just hand that over and
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: trust someone else with their fate lightly. So usually it's.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: You're on the, you know, it's the last step before
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: you fire somebody. You are failing here as a head coach.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: So how about you let someone else call plays and
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: you focus on head coaching? So I do think it's
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: pretty cool that Dave Canales did it. Yeah, you can say, eh,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: but the offense was ranked, you know, bottom five or whatever.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: And they were. And the offense needs to get better.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: But I don't sense when you make that jump and
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: get into the playoffs, that's not the usual position bone
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: where coaches give it up.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I also think it.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Says a lot about the belief that they have in
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: Brad Idzik as well. That says a lot there, too.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: in the relationship that he has with Idzik. That's big time.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: They're like the step... What was that?
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Not step on you. Stuck on you. Is that the
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: movie of Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon? It is, yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what Canalis and Idzik are. They have
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: been together for a long time. They know each other.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: They know each other. They're on the same page offensively.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: So I do believe things will be a little bit
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: different with Idzik, but those guys are simpatico, Bo.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Did you see Stuck on U2' s coming out soon? Is
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: that a thing? With Fitty and Flounder. Fitty. Okay.
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: How about Finney and Flounder.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: If they're stuck together and Finney's going out on dates
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: with Flounder stuck to him?
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: That would be a hell of a scene. Flounder's like,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I got to go to Chili's for three hours. We
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: got to make something happen here.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Even Finney liked that one.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: One of the things, David Tepp, one of the themes
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: of all the pressers yesterday, Bone, were slow starts.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Slow starts to the season.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: We'll get to what Bryce Young said about that in
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: a minute, but also slow starts to games. And that's
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: something that David Tepper noted multiple times in the presser.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Listen in here. He does not want, I think he
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: does not want damn near every win to require a
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Bryce Young game winning drive.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I know all the expectations you guys
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: write about. I can see what the odds are that
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: we have seven and a half wins a season. Those
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: are the expectations and the expectations are based on last year.
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: So if we improve on some of those things last year,
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: for instance, we can't have all come from behind wins
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: in the NFL, and that's one of the reasons. So
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: we get fast starts this year, fast starts to game,
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: and we're going to win.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Please, please tap daddy. I hope
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: they follow you. I hope they follow. Grant you your
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: wish because it would be really nice bone to get
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: a lead. Let Jalen Phillips get after the quarterback and
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: maybe not have every game. If we're going to win it,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: come down to the final dang drive.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: Well, what I want, Matt, because I don't want to
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: have to read text off on Monday's show of people
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: freaking out at 107 p.m. If you're going to freak out,
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: make it like 3.07 or something. I don't need a
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: 1.07 freak out.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. That's so true.
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: I need some positive text at like 1.10 p.m.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: How many games did we end up winning, but you
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: read those 1 o'clock texts and it's like.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: If you just read the 1 o'clock text, you would
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: think that.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: 0 and 17. Yeah. It was 0 and 17.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Actually, sometimes they're playing well in those texts. I mean,
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: some people just... There's full conversations people are having with us,
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: by the way, during the games that we're not even.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: A part of.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: And they don't even care if anybody's here monitoring it. Like,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: they just have to type out. They just have to vent. Like,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: that is their form of venting during games. Can you
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: imagine being the wife of a texter? Who are you texting, honey?
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: You're really going, you're really texting fast there. Texting the
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: radio guys. Oh, are they responding? No, they probably won't
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: see this until Monday. Yeah, they're not in the office
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: right now. I just got to get this off my chest. Hey!
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: uh but now everybody be alert you could make our
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: segment this year of in-game text in-game text will have
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: to be featured bone on this show more because they
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: are gold man they are the they're that reaction that
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: you're you're saying in the group chat with your buddies
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: during the game that's basically what these are.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: My favorite one was in the preseason where the game
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: was three minutes in and a guy was done for for.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: The season yep Done for the year, man.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to Bryce Young because, in full honesty,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: when Canales was asked questions about slow starts to the season,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Canales didn't really kind of address the fact that, oh,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: you've scored only 10 points in both of your openers
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But Bryce Young did address that.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: and dealing with slow starts early in the season and
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: in games, and he acknowledges it has to get better,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: but he also basically said it's part of the game.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's a tough league. You know, across the league,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: you know, if you're not trying to, you know, if
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: you're not taking advantage of every snap, of every opportunity,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: every quarter, whatever it may be, you know, it's hard
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: to dig out of deficits at times. So, you know,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: obviously that's not something we ever want to do, but
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: also we understand that, you know, it's, We hope so,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: but it's tough if everything just goes perfectly from play
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: one to the last play for however many games we get.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: We understand it's a diversity league. Again, it's not something
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: you ever want to be accustomed to. We've taken that
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: challenge and we want to make sure we have goals,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: but also we want to make sure we react. That's
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: part of something that's a good aiming point for us,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: but football's football. It's part of it. However things are,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: we can't tuck our tail if things don't go our
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: way in any start, middle, finish, anything like that. So,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: you know, that's part of the game, and I'm excited
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: for our journey.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: If the Panthers' defense gets off to a slow start
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: against Chicago, it's understandable based off of who their head
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: coach is, who their quarterback is. I'm not mad at
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: the Panthers' defense if the Bears' offense does some things.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: But both in the Chicago game and the first– Three
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: weeks of the season, in my opinion, there's no reason, Mac,
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: for the slow start and the offense to take a
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: while to get going against the defenses.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: That they're playing.
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: I know that that verse is on the Browns, but
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: there's no more Miles Garrett. Atlanta's defense is we know
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: what that is. And Chicago's defense is not good either.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: This offense has no excuse. these first three games, Mac,
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: not to get off to the best start they've gotten
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: off to in the last handful of years.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually think the Cleveland defense is the best one.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I could see them kind of making it an ugly
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: defensive game for a while.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: The Bears, come on, y'all. Come on, y'all.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Even if you don't win this football game, to Bone's point,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: do not make this a game where you score 10
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: dang points like we have in each of the last
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: three openers. where the offense looks like they did not
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: practice football during training camp. Don't make it one of
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: those games against this stinky Bears defense.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Because you are going to have to score some points
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: in this game to win. You're not going to beat
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: Chicago 16-13, 13-10. That's just not the type of game
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: it's going to be. The offense is going to have
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: to match Chicago to some degree. Even if the Panthers'
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: defense plays well, it's a hard offense to contain for
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: four quarters. So they're going to have to. to do
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: something here offensively to try to match the Bears' offense.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: If not, they're in trouble.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying, Bone, that, you know, I don't know
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: if we want to get into a 30-plus point shootout,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: although we did beat the Rams 30-27 last year. That's
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: probably not ideal for us. But, yeah, you don't think
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: you can beat the Bears 13-10 like Seattle beat.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: New England last night.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: You don't want it low scoring for that reason, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: you don't want to go too high scoring in the 30s.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: You want that– That sweet spot, I think, in the
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: 20s somewhere, and that's going to give the Panthers the
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: best chance to win.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I like it both. Somewhere in the middle there. I
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: like it, baby. I like it. My mind is a
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: moving and a grooving on this day. You're in, baby.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: This is it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: You're in regular season form now, Bo. No more preseason,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, gaffes.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: You are ready, baby. No slow starts on this radio program. Never, never.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: When we come back, is LSU safe from SEC expulsion?
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: We'll analyze that situation. Why are the Heels not hosting
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: recruits this weekend? And I know Mac loves this one.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: A shameless Louisiana politician has an— That's an all-time quote.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: You have to hear it. They are loons down there, man.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Loons.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 927 WFNZ. We're going to talk about that
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: when we come back to FITNOW. We'll be right back.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: LSU, you want to throw them out the SEC?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Go ahead and do it. Watch. They ain't going to lose.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: They'll get picked up off the waiver wire in a second.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Especially in the age of Lane Kiffin.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Could you imagine Lane Kiffin as an independent out there
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: in open market working for the LSU brand?
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: Please.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: They'll get paid.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: That's why I said it'd be way worse for the SEC.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: The SEC, sit your ass down.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: That is Stephen A.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Smith.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: That was yesterday morning. It does on first take. It
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: does appear, Bone, that the SEC has sat their booties down,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Stephen A.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: It sounds like they have because. This is not a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: fight you want, Sankey. By the way, sit your ass down.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: In case anybody had any doubt, Feinbaum was on the
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: show and responded by.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Saying the SEC doesn't need LSU.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: But anyway, all of this doesn't seem to matter, Bone,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: because yesterday— Uh, it seems like we finally have, have,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: have calmed the waters here. The SEC has, uh, decided
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: according to reports that when they hold their president's meeting today,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: that the expulsion of LSU has been taken off the
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: meetings agenda. So there will be no, uh, there will
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: be no shout out to Matt Schick or just from
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Matt Schick. There will be no expel, expel SU talk.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I heard that from Matt Schick yesterday, and I'm like,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I want them to get expelled just so we can
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: keep saying that over and over again.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: But anyway, there will be none of that. Seems like
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: LSU giving in and not, you know, playing, not rostering.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: The two NFL players has calmed this down. There was
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the TRO preliminary hearing that was supposed to happen yesterday
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: in a federal court in Alabama. That has been postponed
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: and it'll probably end up being, you know, called off.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: It seems like, Bone, things have calmed down here. So
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know how many people honestly believed that.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: That they were going to expel LSU. But it would
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: have been interesting, Bone, if LSU didn't back down because
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: they clearly got the message. you know i mean that
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: oh like a dog getting hit with it you know
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: my dad used to roll up the newspaper it's probably
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: not nice in this day and age is it roll
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: up the newspaper and pop the doggy on the nose
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: if he was being bad and he would learn his
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: lesson i don't know if he could do that nowadays.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: No i don't have newspapers anymore.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, there's two reasons you can't do that. The
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: world's too PC and we don't have newspapers. My dad
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: hit me with an L.L. Bean kettle all at once
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: right in the head. But anyway, it seems like LSU
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: got the message. Again, I keep saying this, much like
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech got the message with Soars Day. It's like, oh,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: you are all really serious about this. When you step back,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: you realize, yeah, there was no chance LSU was getting–
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: from the SEC. But there was probably no chance they
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: were ever going to be able.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: To roster these players.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: Because of conference warfare, the SEC wasn't going to give
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: up one of the most valuable entities. Because, Matt, what
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: would LSU do if they got expelled? They'd call the
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: Big Ten up. They'd say, all right, we'll see what
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: we can do here. And they don't want that to happen.
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: So when push comes to shove, there was a lot
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: of talking, I think, on both sides. And I think
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: the SEC was going as far as they could with
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: their threats. Ultimately, LSU means too much to that conference
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: and too many sports to.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Have them out of there.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: But it does need to be said that the SEC
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: got their way. But when all 15 schools other than
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: LSU bonded against them, they got the message. LSU got
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: the message. Well, some people in Louisiana got the message.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Will Wade, I'm not sure Will Wade's got the message, Bone,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: because he still has R.J. Lewis on the roster. So
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: he is a guy that has been.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: With an NBA team. So I want to see how
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: that one holds up. Does the SEC play hardball against
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: LSU again over that one?
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see it personally.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's flying under the radar right now because all
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: the focus is on Lane while he's still trying to
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: be sneaky going around stuff. He's like, well, no one's
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: paying attention to me right now. They're all focused on Lane.
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: Maybe I can get a couple guys through here and
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: no one will notice.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Dan Wetzel had a— well, it's got Will Wade a whole
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: six players on the roster, so congratulations there, Will. Dan
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Wetzel wrote a column, Bone, that kind of shed some
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: light on why the SEC was so pissed off. He
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: wrote that many in the SEC believe that Governor Landry
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: is running LSU Athletics— And that the conflict is something
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: that Governor Landry wanted to play up for personal political gain.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: And he's not the only one. A lot of their
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: politicians spoke out, played, you know, acted tough. And you
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: could see why. They will be remembered as we fought
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: for LSU against the mighty SEC. And that will probably
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: be remembered at the ballot box. Dan Wetzel also wrote, Bone,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: that the SEC lawsuit that they did file in federal
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: court said that they believe Lane Kiffin was Lane Kiffin
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: was working directly with the counsel for the plaintiffs. And
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: with support from the attorney general and the governor to
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: keep doing what he's doing and that the AD and
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: president have no control over Lane Kiffin. So, I mean,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's there. It seems like the SEC really
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: felt like we got to dig in. This is like
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: a whole damn state, you know, colluding to do this.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: That Netflix untold documentary is going to be something on
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: this era. My goodness.
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: No doubt.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: And also, Matt, one of the reasons why we respect
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: 92 back there on our show is never gets involved
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: in sports, always stays out of it.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: That's true. Stay out of sports like 92 does. Good point.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Great advice.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: You have nothing to gain from trying to dip your
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: toe in the water.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: The American water, I must add.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, 92, tell Flo I said hello, man, next time
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: you text him. Not the one from Progressive. That would
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: be Baligan.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: That'd be Baligan.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Let's get to before we get to this one Tar
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Heel tidbit. Let's get to another LSU politician bone that
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: had something to say about the SEC. This was before
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: things settled down completely. And now it seems like there'll
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: be no expulsion. But Senator John Kennedy of the great
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: state of Louisiana said this about the SEC's threat to
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: kick out LSU. That is bone deep down the marrow stupid.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I've got rocks in my driveway that are smarter than that.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: They're not going to throw LSU out of the SEC.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. I and a lot of
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: other people in the United States Congress will be on
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: them like a hobo on a ham sandwich. LSU hasn't
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: done anything wrong. It's called a court of law, and
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: God made courts to decide disputes.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: God made courts, apparently. Well, I understand completely what Mr.
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: Kennedy was saying there, because the hobos and the ham sandwiches.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Are just a little bit different down there in the bayou.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Go Tigers, go ham sandwiches, and go hobos.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: That's got to be a blackened.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Ham sandwich down there in Louisiana.
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: A hobo on his ham sandwich. I'm dying, man. I'm dying.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. You're right.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: There's gotta be a damn documentary about this shenanigans.
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: Please. And the Wayne Kiffin book. by John Talti of
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: CBS Sports, comes out next week. And, Mac, the day
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: it comes out, John Talti will make a return to
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: the Mac and Bone show.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: There we go. Man, that book's going to sell, isn't it?
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Love them or hate them, you want to know more about.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: That's where the stuff about Kiffin and the sorority girls
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: comment from Saban came from.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Hey now, hey now.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to... All right, stay away from
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: sorority girls, all right? Let's go to... Real quick for
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: the Tar Heel thing, shout out to Mike Hill. Former
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Niners AD. His new job is NCAA VP of men's basketball.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Thought I would throw that in there. Also need to
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: point out, Bone Man, we found out a little bit
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: about Jizzle James, the son of Edron James, and why
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: he is no longer on the Tar Heel roster. no
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: longer on the UNC Charlotte basketball roster under Wes Miller.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: He was going to be one of the guys following
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Wes Miller from Cincinnati to Charlotte. Edger and James, his dad,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: went on social media saying, everybody pray for him. If
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: you see Jizzle, say a nice word to him because
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: he's going through some drug issues right now.
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: Oh, man.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: So anyway, wish him the best. Charlotte went out and
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: got a pretty darn good replacement for his spot on
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: the roster, though.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. Yeah, they did.
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: The fifth-year guy from... I forget. That's why I just
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: said that.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: From South Alabama. There you go. I tried to set
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: you up for that, Bonesy.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: The Sunbelt Player of the Year, who averaged 25, 25
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: and 5.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Not 25, but 25 and 5 last year. Chase something. Chase, yeah.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Big Chase. Chase with a Z, baby.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Chase.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Chase with a Z.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Do want to mention, NC State got some actual good news.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: The first since football has started. K-Tron Evans, their defensive lineman,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: got a waiver from the NCAA.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: He is eligible.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: And based off of watching Virginia run the ball against him,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: they could not afford to lose him. He played in
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: the first game, but they could not afford to lose him.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: So that's good news there. This story about UNC has
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: been getting some national attention, Bone. They will not be
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: hosting recruits. for this weekend's game against East Tennessee. They,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: I guess, Bone, after self-reporting a recruiting violation, this is
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: something different from the current investigation, by the way, self-reporting
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: a recruiting violation, they are no longer allowed to host
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: unofficial visits. They are going to wait on the official
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: visits and do those over the next five home games.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: That's been put on pause. There'll be no recruits for
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: the East Tennessee game. And there you have it, man.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: There's your there's your there's your latest on the Tar Heels,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. So they've self-reported their self-investigating. There's a
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: lot of there's a lot of self stuff going on there. Absolutely, Mac.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: The day has arrived. Oh, actually, yesterday, Wednesday was the
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: day with the NFL season officially underway. The day is
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: here for our Panther final win predictions. Who believes they
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: will make it? Back-to-back playoff appearances.
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: Who's in? This is a segment, Mac. I want positivity.
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: So that'll probably fail miserably. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
