Mac & Bone Hour 1: Broncos Win on TNF & Panthers/Eagles Scene Set · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You guys are the most entertaining sports program in the world.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: No, no, stop twerking. You and I are a couple eating,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: like Lady and the Tramp. You're the lady on the tramp. Yeah,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: come on. Come on, baby. I wish I was Boopie.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Boopie McClain, man. That's a great name. All aboard! His
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: name's Showtime, by the way, now. Because his name's Byron
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and Byron Scott.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, I like it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: That's how we operate here, right? That's simple enough.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: And I said, do you want to be named Showtime?
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: He said, absolutely, I do. Who doesn't want to be
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: named Showtime?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's better than Mack and Bo, probably.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I think that's the coolest nickname on the show. We
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: are ready to do this thing. I know y'all are
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: ready for a football weekend. Heck, it got started last
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: night with a couple of overtime games. ECU blowing a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: 14-point lead and losing in overtime. The Broncos blowing an
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: 11-point lead but winning in overtime. The Dodgers are done.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee finishes them off in a sweep. Cleveland beats Tampa.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about all those things. And obviously, Panthers and Eagles.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts now out of this game. How does that
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: change how Panther fans feel? Do you think bone to Hurts'
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: injury will make Panther fans feel less paranoid? Or do
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: you think it will make them feel even more paranoid
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: because they're like, oh, it would be such a Panther
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: thing to lose to a backup quarterback? I believe there's
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a proper way to feel about it. Well, at least
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: how I feel about it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: But I don't think, Mac, the paranoia will go away
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: because I think a backup quarterback fear will creep in,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I have a feeling. I don't think that's necessary for
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: this one. Not saying that the backup quarterbacks can't step
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: up and perform well, but there's a lot of problems
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: around said backup quarterback.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. It's not like you're just plugging Tanner
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: McKee in and Saquon's there.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And your full wide receivers are there, and your full
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: offensive line's there. I think that's the thing that maybe
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: can ease Panther fans' paranoia.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: They were a mess before the Hurts. And by the way,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: we just saw with Taylor Bowen, the blood clot thing,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: it's Man, I don't wish that on anybody, man.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That is horrible. Well, it's scary. From his leg, right? Yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: it's in his calf. I'm trying to get the medical
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: terminology here. I know people are shocked that I may
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: not be up on medical terminology. But, yeah, it was
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: a superficial blood clot in his calf. They noticed it
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: last week before the game in London, but it moved
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: this week. And the way I understand it, Herbstreet was
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: talking about it. When it starts moving to you, they
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: fear it can get up in your lungs, and that's
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: what Taylor Moten dealt with. And when it gets in
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: your lungs, that's when it gets really scary. So they're
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: trying to prevent that. And there was a Dr. Bone
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that went on Philly Radio yesterday that said that they
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: think this could be a 45-day to three-month recovery. And remember,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Moten had to be on blood thinners for three months.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Does traveling also affect the blood clots, right? Going from
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Philly to London and back, the traveling can't be. I
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: know Dak Prescott went off on blood clots. Not went off,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: but he explained how serious they are last night. As
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Mac is getting texted medical. Mac's Dr. Cruz texting him
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Is that what's going on?
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: By the way, can I just say. And I think
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Showtime agrees with me here. Someone's saying they can't hear me.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Can they not hear me still?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Or was that earlier? That was earlier. We're good now?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: We're good now.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to say anything because it was a
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: peaceful beginning.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I think y'all got a plan. I think it's a conspiracy. Bone, Byron,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and Phitty are like, let's do this Mackless show. Showtime?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: This Mack-free show where he thinks he's yapping, but no
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: one's hearing him.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Can I point out that I'm not just saying this, Mack, because...
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: I won a parlay last night, and they're calling this
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: the house that Bone built here at Harris.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Congratulations.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: We are broadcasting from probably what I consider heaven right now.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: It's such a cool setup, man. We're in this fan
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: cave room. We're going to work on the Atlanta jerseys
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: that are up right now. Turn down your phone, man.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: We're good, though. Whoever's telling me this, I just got
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: a thumbs up. We have a special room here. We
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: got a wall of TVs. We have a sportsbook kiosk
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: right here next to the energy drinks. Yeah, we got
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: these couches here that recline. I got to be honest
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: with you. There's a good chance I'd never come back.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: They rent these fan caves out. They're right next to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the sports books. Sports books are amazing. I mean, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: giant wall TV screens last night with all the games.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: They're watching ECU, the football. I mean, I can only
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: imagine how this is on a Saturday for college football,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a Sunday. Meredith, who works here, was telling us about
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl parties, the viewing parties. How about you
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and I were talking about March Madness. Like, we got
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to find a way to weasel our way in here
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: on a March Madness weekend. Because can you imagine? Every
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: show should be here. That would be a blast.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I would say Infinity Fighters should be doing their podcast
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: out here during March at some point. Just set it
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: up and get a Heels fan thing going out here.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Get them away from me in the city.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Shout out to Big Tex,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: by the way. That was Big Tex texting me trying
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to help us figure out our audio. It's an all-hands-on-deck
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: situation this morning. Yeah, I think we're good now, though.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: We're good to go. Unfortunately, y'all can hear me now
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: back in Charlotte. Unfortunately.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Hey, it was a late night for all of us.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, Mac and Showtime, what time did we roll
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: out of here last night?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: 9.05? Yeah. The funny thing is, Bone said, we're documenting, Mac,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you're the first one to leave.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And, um.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: As I'm walking back, I get lost, of course. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: cannot figure out how to get back towards our tower
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: at first. So as I start walking back, there's Byron
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: in front of me. I'm like, oh, so I guess
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: they did not stay that much longer than me.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, man.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, I got back into cozy, comfy confines of
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: my awesome room. Awesome rooms here as well. And watched
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the football games last night.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: It took you so long to get back when you left.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: ECU was in complete control. By the time you got back,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: they were losing by 13 and over, or they lost
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: by 13 in overtime. What a disappointment that was. ECU
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: fans got to be ticked, man. There's absolutely no doubt
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: about it. That was a game that they got out
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: of the gate. At one point, they put up a
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: graphic bone, and I may be a yard or two
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: off here on ECU's yardage, but it was something to
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: the effect of 160 yards for ECU to 13 for UAB.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And that's when it was 14-0. ECU fumbled while driving
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in UAB territory. Could have been worse than 14-0. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, Bone, they lost Jeremiah Melvin,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: their big play receiver. I'm not sure you can blame
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: it all on this. But they lost him, and I'll
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: be damned. ECU's offense went the next ten drives scoring
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: three points. That's it. Absolutely, that offense got totally shut down.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: The passing game with Emery Williams is, like, so dink
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and dunk. I mean, they've got– I think he threw
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: two passes of 10 yards or more downfield. That's a
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: huge problem for this offense. They also went for it
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: on fourth and inches at one point didn't get it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Got stuffed.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: And they got it later on when they tried it again.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: But that first time, you felt like if UAB didn't
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: stop them there, that was probably– they were never going
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: to mount their comeback. ECU had momentum. Once they got
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: stuffed there, you saw UAB gain some confidence. And they never–
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: ECU never really got it back in full after that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I still thought ECU, because ECU's defense came in, I think,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: third in the American. I mean, it's a hell of
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: a unit. And I thought their defense is good, too.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And it showed. It was an ugly game. But I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: thought ECU's defense was going to win the game themselves
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: because the offense had gone to sleep for the night.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: The defense was holding them to field goals, Bone. It
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: was 17-9, three field goals, right? So those stops and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: those holding them to field goals, I thought were going
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to be the difference. And UAB, all of a sudden,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Their passing game, this kid Ryder Burton, the quarterback, really
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: wasn't doing much. Comes alive on a 93-yard drive where
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: he throws for 96 yards on the drive, and they score.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Then they get a two-point conversion to tie at 17.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: They score in overtime on a pass where ECU goes
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: all-out blitz and the dude's wide open out of the backfield.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And then Emery Williams, on their overtime possession, throws a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: pathetic interception. I mean, just right between the numbers of
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the UAB guy. And he runs it back. To your
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: point about the 13-point margin in overtime, he runs it
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: all the way back. Yeah, he probably should have got
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: down for himself there to avoid disaster. It's really hard
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: in overtime in football, in the format and the way
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: it operates. It's really hard to lose by 13 in overtime.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine?
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: You really have to mess up not only on– your
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: offensive side, you have to mess up and give them the–
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: it's a very specific way to lose.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Imagine if you got UAB minus 12 headed into overtime.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: We're at Harris, right? What would the odds be on
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that bet? Imagine the money you could have made. Exactly.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Because most defensive guys will just sit down. This dude
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm getting my pay dirt, baby. I'm getting
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: my touchdown. You kept waiting for the moment we're just
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: going to slide down. That guy's there. Hell no. Oh, gosh.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: All right, so both games were defensive games, Bone, last night,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the football games and ugly games. The Broncos win ugly,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: and Sean Payton's return to play calling. How about this?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: The winning team, Bone, had 168 total yards of offense.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: That was Denver last night with offensive genius Sean Payton
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: calling the plays. Bo Nix threw for 107 yards, four
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: yards at attempt. They ran the ball, Bone, for 74 yards,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: 2.6 yards a carry. But thanks to the defense who
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: had multiple interceptions at Darnold, including one in overtime to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: set up the field goal, Denver was able to win 17-14.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: But honestly, neither one of these teams look great. I
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: know Denver's 4-2, but that offense looks brutal.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: That's the defending Super Bowl champions and the team that
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: lost in the AFC championship game. That probably... Honestly, with
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Bo Nix, probably does win that game. That's almost a
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl rematch from last year. Mike Florio, MacProFootballTalk.com, after
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: the game, had a piece up. He said, Sam Darnold
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: has been so bad. Does Drew Locke give them a
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: better chance to win right now than Darnold does? He's
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: in bad Darnold mode right now. And, interesting, Mac, we
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: thought heading into the year, two surefire things were the
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Rams were going to be great in Seattle. If they're
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: not as great as the Rams, they're going to be
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: still a great football team. Seattle now finds themselves at 3-3.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I know, man. And the Rams are at 2-3. Meanwhile,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: San Francisco says, oh, yeah, by the way, we were
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: the third best team in this division.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Now look at us. 5-0. Looking to be 6-0. They
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: could have a three-game lead in that division. I wouldn't
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: have guessed.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: This hard-ass division. They could lead by three. I don't
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: think anyone would have guessed. Although, if you're at Harrah's,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you can only guess. You can put your money on it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: What would the odds be again on that? I wouldn't
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: have ever guessed or bet that. We are middle of October,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: and Seattle and the Rams have six losses combined.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Crazy, man. What was our total last year for losses?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. It was close to six, wasn't it? Yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm thinking. Maybe seven combined? We have to
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: look that up. Bo Nix, I know he was a
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: victorious quarterback, but this dude doesn't look like he did
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: last year. Well, he got called garbage on the postgame
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: show by Ryan Fitzpatrick. That may have something to do
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: with this stat. I heard this stat on ESPN this morning.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: You talk about Dinkin' and Duncan. I told you he
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: averaged four yards a pass, which is an atrocious number.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: He threw three passes past the first down marker in
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the whole game. Three passes that traveled past the first
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: down marker. In a Sean Payton offense. In an entire game.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: With Sean Payton's big return to plays with his granny
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: glasses on the damn sidelines. Mac, I just feel so
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: bad for Sean Payton.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: He does look like Granny Clampett. I feel so bad
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: for Sean Payton, Mac, that he has to. do something
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: that he didn't want to do, and that is attempt
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: to be the hero and take that play calling back
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: from Davis Webb. That look on his face was pained
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: last night as he had the biggest play card I've
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: ever seen.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: In my whole life. It was pain, but it was
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: because the offense was garbage. But anyway, they won. They won. Yeah,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: it's really hard to look cool in your readers. My
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: wife tells me I look like a grandpa when I
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: have my readers because you kind of have to. We're
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: in the reader's bone. Let me give you a real
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: old guy because you're getting old. But let me give
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you some real old guy stuff. When you're wearing those readers,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you've got to get them at the edge of your
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: nose because you want to be able to use the readers,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: but you also want to be able to look up
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: kind of without the readers. Oh, yeah. If you're hanging
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: out with somebody. The old Ben Franklin one. You cannot
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: jump at your old person who's got some readers. You
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: cannot look cool in your reading glasses. I don't even
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: think Brad Pitt could look cool in a pair of readers.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Now Marvin, who's hanging out
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: with us in here, he would look pretty damn cool
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: in his readers.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Marvin was really excited we were in here. Then Max
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: started talking. Now he's got a look on his face.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Marvin's like, this guy going to yell the whole show? Yeah, unfortunately. Unfortunately.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: So Marvin gets this assignment, right? He's with the marketing
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: folks here at Harrah's. And he gets the assignment where
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: he gets to hang out with the radio shows. Wes
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and Walker were raving about his ring that he wears, Bone.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: It's to signify a 300 game in bowling. He says
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: he has three of them. but I'm sure working at
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: the noon shift and hanging out with those guys is
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: a lot better than being here at 6 a.m. Like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: this has to be. He had to be cursing us
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: out on his way in this morning, but we appreciate
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: his assistance. Matt thought Marvin had a Super Bowl ring.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, I thought we might have had a
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: former bowler, but we have a bowler. Yeah, as a
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: former bowler myself, I tipped my cap to Marvin. Yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you won, what, a 10-year-old bowling junior title or something? Yeah,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I did, yes. Look at that, baby. Marvin knows me.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: He knows. Look, it's your– Out there in the bowling circles,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: your name is out there.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: It definitely is. Who was the great bowler? Chris Webber, right?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Chris Webber? Pete Webber. Pete Webber.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: His brother was Chris. He once called a timeout on
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: frame eight. Pete Webber is the guy that looks like
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Jim Salania, right? Our former host here. And goes crazy,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't he? Yes. Doesn't he go crazy? He does. Yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: He's crazy. He's like the one personality in bowling that
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I think we know. The one bowler we could name.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: That's the only one we got. That's the only one
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: we got. Besides Marvin. That's true. That's true. All right,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: so we do need to mention real quick, too, we're
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: getting ready to do a full Panther segment, the injury updates,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: what's going on there with both the Panthers and the Eagles.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: If y'all are 6 o'clock listeners, the whole 625 segment
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: all week, Bone, has seemingly been devoted to both teams' injuries.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: So you'll get a little more of that coming up
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: here in a little bit. As far as the baseball goes,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie to you, Bone. When I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: went back in the first half of the ECU game,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: when I was hanging down here at the Sportsbook, I mean,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: you could see everything. You know what I mean? Hockey.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: That giant wall. If y'all come here and hang out
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: at the Sportsbook, you're going to absolutely love it. I mean,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the giant wall of TVs is amazing. But when I
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: got back to the room, Bone, because I'm an old
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: man and I'm lame and had to go back in
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: like 906 or whatever it was. After you got lost.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: After I figured out where I was going. I only
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: had my two screens. I had my phone on prime
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: on the NFL game, and then my TV was on ECU.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I had just kind of punted on the baseball game.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers were up 4-0. Ohtani finally did something, hit
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the big home run. And I kind of thought, hey,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that makes sense. Dodgers are probably going to win this game.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: So I'm not going to lie to you, Bone. I
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: really had no idea until this morning. Oh, crap. Milwaukee
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: scored six straight runs and finished the damn Dodgers off.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Milwaukee was the better team all the way through.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: They baseballed the Dodgers to death. It was small ball.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: It was all the right things. That's what Milwaukee does.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: That's what they've done the last couple years. I looked
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: it up yesterday but didn't say it on the air,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: and I don't have it in front of me now.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: The Dodgers payroll this year was $ 371 million. I think
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: the other three teams, being Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Tampa, I
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: think it's like.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: $ 420 million combined.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: So that shows you right there the job in the
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: front office and just the way they're ran of those
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: three organizations. You can't say enough about that in this
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: day and age. To sweep the Dodgers when you're Milwaukee
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: with not a whole lot of star power is an
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: incredible thing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee, Dodgers obviously number one in payroll. I probably didn't
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: even need to tell you all about that. Milwaukee, the
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: 17th biggest payroll. And then you look over bone in
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the ALCS.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Tampa's the 19th biggest payroll, and Cleveland is the 26th
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: biggest payroll. So it's interesting. Cleveland's now up 2-1 in
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: their series. It's interesting. I heard KB talk about this
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: the other day. It's interesting because obviously with the Dodgers,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: you know, you've got people screaming wanting a salary cap.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: They're about to have to talk about this stuff if
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: very well could be a lockout as they try to
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: get a labor deal. But then you can point to
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: these other three teams that are in the league championship
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: series and say, well, you don't need a huge payroll
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: to compete. So it's an interesting dynamic going on there, man.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: It's the first time the Dodgers have been swept in
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: a seven-game series since 1966. And think about how many
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: they played in. And as SportsCenter just told me there,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee's first World Series appearance since 1982. Was that the
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: group called Harvey's Wallbangers?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that was a thing. I think the manager.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I believe that's, they were nicknamed Harvey's 1982 was Robin. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Wasn't Robin. Yeah. Paul Molitor was on that team. I think,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I think so. Um, that was back when, uh, that was,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: that was right around the last, uh, appearance for my
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: beloved Orioles as well. 83. Yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: By the way, typical text line fashion, uh, They don't
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: believe Marvin's bowling stories.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: They think Marvin bought that ring. How dare they? They
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: better come down here and get this smoke. We got
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: a bowling alley right here. He'll take you to school.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: People are challenging Marvin now. He got the ring to
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: prove it. Do we need to take a picture of
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Marvin's ring and send it back to y'all? They said
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Marvin bought that ring. Now he's showing us that. Oh,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it's engraved with the date. It's engraved with the date
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: of the 300. What's that date, Marvin?
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: 9-1-2004.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: 9-1-2004. So just a couple of years ago. So he's
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: still got his game. Yeah, y'all better come to Harris
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: if you want that smoke and ask for Marvin, all right?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: And he'll give it to you on the alley, baby.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. And I will wager a bet.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I will go over there. I'll go to this kiosk
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: right here because, of course, they've got to put the
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: betting kiosk right in the fan cave, which is freaking awesome.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You don't need to leave. I'm going to go bet
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Marvin on the kiosk. It's two feet from me. Oh,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: it's beautiful. And then they put energy drinks in these– refrigerators,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: you grab an energy drink so you can stay up
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: for the late-night games. You know what I mean? It's
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: a cool setup to rent this bad boy.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Out.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Marvin, you got a blanket over there? I got a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: little chill in the air. A little blanket? All right.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: All right, baby. All right. Well, we're off and running,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Bone Man. Yeah, well, you have the sheet over there
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: for us. Oh, okay. I'm going to break. My access
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: to the dock is not like normal. All right, well,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: let's do it. All right, so we come back.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: What does it look like, the Thursday injury report for
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: the Panthers this And the Eagles will talk more about
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: going up against the Jalen Hurts-less Eagles team. And you'll
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: also hear an amazing story about playing in Philly for
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Jalen Filth. Before he was an Eagle, what happened when
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: he got a sack in Philly? You'll hear about that.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7, live from Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort. Sports
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNC. It's the Mac
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: and Bone Show, y'all. Hopefully you guys are feeling good
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: on a football Friday. You could be feeling real good
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: on a football weekend if you make the trip from
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Charlotte to Harris Cherokee Casino, Cherokee, North Carolina. This place
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: is beautiful. And the thing about it, we're live. We're
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: live in the fan cave right here in the Sportsbook area,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: and we're getting ready to update you, Bone. We should
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: be in some sort of medical facility for this segment
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: because we're getting ready to give you all this damn
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: injury information for both teams.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: I feel like this should be hosted by William Shatner
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: and Rescue 911.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: That's enough.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: By the way, I've referenced Harvey's Wallbangers and Rescue 911.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: I'm starting to age and not gracefully. At 43, I'm
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: heading downhill, aren't I? Yes, you are an old 43.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: I will give you that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: You are an old 43. But I was going to say, Bone,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: this is a place where if you come here, like,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of families here, too. Oh, yeah. There's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: enough concerts and stuff like that. Well, the arcade, bowling alley.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of kids here. There's enough entertainment for
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the whole family. Don't feel like now. Don't get me wrong.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: We saw an unks trip. It was a group of
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: guys out and overnight, a bunch of unks, a bunch of,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you know, older dudes, and they were having the time
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: of their life too. So it's like guys trips, family trips.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, everything plays here at Harris Cherokee Casino.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, you mentioned it would be a great place
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: that you want to take little Mac at some point.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, he would love it, man. Mac Jr.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: sorry, Mac Jr. By the way, not just an unks
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: trip that we witnessed. One of the guys in there just–
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: A tremendous human being, Mac, our guy, the Duke graduate.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: That's right. I told him. I told him. I said,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you barely ever meet actual Duke grads. It's just fans that, like,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: lived in New Jersey. What a guy this guy was.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: A man's man. You and him bonded, Bone. There's no doubt.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: He saw your Duke hat, took a liking to you
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: right away. All right. As far as these injuries go,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: we've talked about the Jalen Hurts, scary blood clot situation.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: So Tanner McKee, former Stanford quarterback, big 6'5, 230-pound dude,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: is going to start. This will be his third start.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: He's 1-1, and he's lost one bone. He has played
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: essentially the final game of the season each of the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: last two years is the games that he has started.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: The interesting thing, I think the first thing I thought
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: of is, okay, we don't have to have the fear of,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: a mobile quarterback that you struggle to contain. This is
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: one where you just rush him with reckless abandon because
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: he's not extremely mobile. But I will say this, if
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: you told me he's going to throw the football better
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: than Jalen Hurts had recently, I don't know if I, like,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that's crazy, you know? No, not at all.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: And a lot of times, Mac, I don't completely discount
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: the backup quarterbacks. We've seen examples all through history of
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: backups that come in either through a short period of
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: time or some of them become the greatest of all time.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Like Tom Brady.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: So there's a lot of examples of guys that get
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: an opportunity and they go from there, whether it's in
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: the immediate or the long term. But I think in
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: this particular case, if Tanner, as you said when the
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: show started, if he had everything around him lined up well,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: offensive line, Saquon, all the weapons, I'd say, yeah, this
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: is almost equally as dangerous just in a different way
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: than we thought. Plus, you haven't prepared for this guy
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: as much as you did Jalen Hurts. I just don't
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: think it matters, Matt, necessarily who the quarterback is right
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: now when there's that much around them, both in terms
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: of the chaos and the injuries around them right now,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: to put a lot of fear in me.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, let's go through those injuries. Saquon Barkley
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: didn't practice again yesterday. Neither did Will Shipley, so it's
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: really looking like it's four-string running back Damian Pierce this weekend.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: They did get Devontae Smith to practice in a limited capacity.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: That's an upgrade for him. So you start wondering, okay,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: could he come back? But then they lost Wicks, one
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: of their other starting receivers, because he didn't practice yesterday
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: after being limited the day before. So it's like it
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't feel like they're going to have both those guys.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: They may not have either. The offensive line situation, Landon
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Dickerson was limited, but they haven't even activated him off IR.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: It feels to me like he's probably not ready yet.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know for sure. But they traded
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Cam Juergens, Landon Johnson retired. They have their left tackle,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Jordan Mailata, and that's it. That's the only, like, beginning
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: of training camp starter that they have on the offensive line,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: to your point. So it's like weapons missing, offensive linemen missing,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and it's like good luck, Tanner McKee. You know what
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: It's like a whole new offense. Like, they haven't even
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: played together that much, whether it's the offensive line with
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: the quarter. It's a whole new– It's a whole new operation, basically,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: for them at the moment, from what we see right now, anyway.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: The only argument I could make to be Panther paranoid
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: is that these are a lot of the guys that
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Tanner McKee probably played with in the preseason when he
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: was slinging it. I mean, that's fair. That's the only
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: thing I could be like, oh, he's got chemistry with
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: all these backups. And we're going to talk about this. Heck,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about it at 7 o'clock when
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: we do our weekly conversation on Fridays about what matchups
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: we like, which ones we don't. I think there's going
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: to be a lot of matchups we like in this one. This,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: the Panthers, the point spread now moved, I think, to
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: three and a half in favor of the Panthers. Let
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: me go check. We're in the place to be able
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: to know for sure. This is one where it's like, Panthers,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: don't mess around and do this Panther thing you do.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like, go out there and
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: prove that we can take advantage of a team like this.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: There's really not a lot of excuses not to go
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: in there and get a victory. No.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Is it going to be a dominant win? I can't
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: say that because the Eagles' defense still has, although their
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: numbers aren't great on defense, but they still have Jalen Carter.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: They've got Zach Ball, and they've got a lot of
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: names on defense still playing. So I can't sit here
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: and say, oh, my God, they're going to go in
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: there and just blow them out. But there's no excuse
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: not to at least get a win in this football game. Yes,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: it feels like if you are who you are.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: It's gone from.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, that would be a really good win. It would
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: be a really bad loss, I think, now based off circumstances.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: We'd be ticked off on Monday if this battered Eagles
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: group with the backup QB can get us. Because here's
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: the thing. Last year's team, I could see them losing
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: a game like this. Right? Yes. Prove that you have
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: made strides. You know what I mean? Prove that you're
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: becoming that team. Real quick, I want to mention the
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Panthers injury report. We're getting healthier right now, no doubt
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: about it. Jalen Coker, second straight day with a full practice,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: so it's looking great for him to play. Monroe Freeling
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: was upgraded to limited from DNP. The only did not
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: practice on the injury report was A.J. Dillon with an
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: ankle injury that seems like it could keep him out,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: but they do get Trevor H.N. back. So if one
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: back doesn't play, they do get the other one back.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Turk Wharton was full practice boned. And this is a
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: big group of limited guys that I'm curious to see
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: what they do today in practice. Damian Lewis, Tommy Tremble,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Lewis with the elbow, Tommy Tremble with a rib injury,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Darren Waller with a toe injury, Jalen Phillips with a
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: hamstring injury, all limited. So those are ones that could
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: be up in the air, and those are important guys.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Lewis is massive for this game with the– The Carter,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: you know, up front. Carter and Jordan Davis' big old butt. Yeah,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: they need Lewis in there desperately in this game. That's the– Jalen.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Phillips feels pretty important too, obviously. I mean, all of them.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Those are important players.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: For the Eagles to win this game, it would have
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: to be the interior of their defensive line just wrecking shop, right?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: That would be their– if we were doing a formula
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: on how the Panthers lose, it was that Jalen Carter
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: just goes crazy.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the way Luke Fortner's playing, you know what
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I mean? It's got to be doubles on Carter all
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: the time. We'll talk about that more as the show
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: goes on. I want to hear a little bit, Bone,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: from the locker room yesterday. Let's start with Turk Wharton,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: who seems pretty confident, Bone, that he'll be out there
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: in Philly and that he'll play well. My expectation is
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: to play. I feel good, and I'm ready to be
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: out there. What does a healthy Turk want to feel like?
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I'm just going out there to dominate.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: You know, one player at a time.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Get in the groove again and just go out there
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: and give my effort and show everybody what I'm here for.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going out there to dominate. That's not going to
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: go over well with many Panther fans. That thought Turk
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Wharton gave us very little last year, Bones. He was
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: injured a bunch, but yeah, Panther fans have kind of
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: bet on him.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Are you worth the money? I like the bravado. I
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: like the thought. How about we just go out there?
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: And then we see what happens. It would be like
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: me at a singles bar in the early 2000s. I
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: didn't always say, hey, I'm going to go out there
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: and dominate. I would say, I'm going to go out there.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Whatever happens, happens. Now, I always got better results than
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: I had.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of bravado, man. But you know
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: he's chomping at the bit coming off this neck injury
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: to get out there. Moten feels like he is going
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: to be ready to go as well. Jalen Phillips mentioned
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: he is limited. But the way he was talking in
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: this press conference, not a presser, but locker rooms kind
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: of stand up with the media yesterday. I mean, it
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: kind of makes you think he could very well go
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: off this hamstring injury as well. He told a story
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: about playing at the link bone, and this was before
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: he became an Eagle, when he was a Dolphin. They
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: weren't happy with a bone in Philly that day.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: When I was in the Dolphins at 23, I got
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: a sack on them. And I did the Fly Eagles
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Flyers celebration, and that was the loudest I've ever been
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: booed in my life. Did that juice you up, though?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: It was awesome. Yeah, it was really cool. Would you
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: do it again this weekend?
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Nah, I got too much love for them not to
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: do that again. That would be pretty fake of me. So, yeah,
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: I love them. I love them.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: So now that he's been an Eagle, he can't do
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: that again. But that's a fun group to troll, I'm thinking.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: If you're an athlete, that is a fun group because
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: they're so easy to rile up.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Back right here in front of me in the fan
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: cave here at Harrah's Casino Resort, they've got the ESPN2s
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: above one of the TVs. They have the list of
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: all the Eagles injured players. They've had to go to
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: page two now to show us all the guys that
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: are injured.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we had a lot of injuries. Philly is.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, our injuries, Bone, are getting better.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: We've got guys coming back. They seem like they are
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: in the absolute thick of their injury mess. One thing
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I will say, though, Bone, about injured teams, you count out.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Remember us against the Lions? That starting corners against that offense,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: there was a feeling of dread. You know what I mean? Yeah, no,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: you're right. Among our fan base. Look, they're still NFL players.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: They're fighting for, a lot of these guys are fighting
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: back for their football lives, which is something to keep
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: that in mind.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: All right. Speaking of us missing two corners, Bone, that'll
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: obviously be the case for a while here. And a
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: lot of people are wondering, after Caleb Evans gave up
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: 11 completions, according to PFF in his coverage, for almost
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: 200 yards, a lot of people were wondering, hey, is
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Dan Morgan, I think we're still wondering, is Dan Morgan
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: going to swing a trade for a corner? I know
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Dante Jackson's been mentioned a lot out there with the Chargers.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: But I think we're also wondering in the short-term, Bone,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: is Caleb Evans really going to start again? Well, yesterday,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Jiro Avero said he could neither confirm nor deny that.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: But he did say, kind of try to defend and
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: pump up Caleb Evans a little bit yesterday.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: The one thing about that position for Caleb and really
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: for anybody is that, and it's the nature of the beast,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: obviously we know that, but you can play, you know,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: 65 really good snaps and then five or so snaps
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: can really define the game. And I want to lean
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: into the snaps that he did a heck of a
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: job on because there was so many good plays out
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: there in coverage and in run support and things of
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: that nature. there's things that obviously he needs to correct,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see what he does with that.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of confidence that he will, and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: they're very correctable things. So we don't expect anybody to
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: go out there and play perfect, and we expect everybody, though,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to get better every week, and Caleb and everybody else
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: will try to get that done.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: He was asked to follow up, you know, will he start,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: and that's where he said, I can neither confirm nor deny,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: with a grin on his face. If he can't do
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: either of those things, what are you going to do?
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Do you think he's going to start again? Maybe this
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: is a matchup to get his confidence going a little bit.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: The Eagles receivers are not what the Lions receivers are.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: I know Devontae Smith is tough. I'm not saying that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: But this might be a matchup where you can get
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: by with the Caleb Evans. The Green Bay one would
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: be the one where I say you might want to.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know about that one. But let's see what
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: he's like up to that game.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Backup QB. Banged up receivers. Banged up O-line to even
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: give time to the backup to get it to the
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: backup receivers. A four-string running back going. when you want
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: to get a run game going, Bone, to get in
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: good down distances to then throw it. Like, it's just
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: so much is working against the Eagles offense that I
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: kind of agree. If Averro's inclined to give him another chance,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: it might be a game. It seems like a much
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: better matchup for our second string corners. It definitely does. Gesundheit, Boney.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: God bless you. I tried to mask that.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: There was no masking of that right now. All right, baby. Well, hey,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: we're off and running, man. We're going to be talking Panthers.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I got to go make a bed over. I'm getting
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: the itch. We're getting Panthers football all day long. Bone's
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: going to head. You don't have to get three steps
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: to get to the bedding kiosk in the fan cave, baby.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: They make it real easy on you.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Hey, Marvin, are we allowed to live here? Well, you
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: don't have to stay here all the.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Time, but I mean, you can go home. Pretty good
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: a life. All right, so when we come back here
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: on the Mac and Bone Show, it is time, Bone Man.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: We got a weekend. full of sports on TV to watch.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: And we've got to tell you when it's on. It's
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: time for the Couch Potato Guide. It is coming up next,
• 35:03

  Speaker 5: Come on, you're ready too.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: The job is on my mind.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: When everything's all right.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Jump on it, that's all day. Kickoff is on its way.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Kickoff is on its way. Kickoff is on its way.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone with you live
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: from Harris Cherokee Casino Resort. The awesome fan cave right here.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: In the sportsbook area, what an establishment, what an awesome
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: place to hang, and a cool setup here to do
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: a radio show as well, man. They got the TVs,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: three of them right in front of you, so this
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: is guys' weekend stuff right here, renting out one of
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: these fan caves. This would work beautifully, man, really would.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I'll be here.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: Tara's got the flu-like symptoms, I should say. She's not
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: here yet. Murphy's at his pet resort getting his complimentary
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: turkey leg this weekend.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: You're riding solo, baby. I'm here for the rest of
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: the day today. I'm here. Look at you, man.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: On Monday, you may come back and say, hey, Phitty,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: where's Bone? We haven't seen him since Friday.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: You're going to be filthy rich by the end of
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: this night, Boney. I'm telling you right now. Or wandering
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: the streets. Or the other. Or the alternative. Or living
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: with Marvin. Oh, my. Marvin got a couch for you
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: at the house? All right. Let's do this. Let's talk.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: It's couch potato kite time. This is. The time we
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: spend on Friday mornings kind of letting you know when
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: the different sporting events are on. This is so you
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: know when to tell the wife, the fam, hey, I
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: got to be in front of the TV. We start
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: with Friday night tonight, Bone Man, App State, Coastal Carolina tonight.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Friday night special in the Sun Belt. That game is
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: on 8 o'clock ESPN2. You also have 7.30 on ESPN tonight,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Memphis Tulane and the American. And then shout out Panther Bow.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: You're red hot, sizzling. Purdue Boilermakers are hosting Washington, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: this is amazing, Bone, but it goes to show the
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: season Purdue is having. They are three-and-a-half point favorites. What? Yeah.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: How about that? This is the first time Purdue's been
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: favored in a big game, Mac, outside of– Matt Painter's
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: giant white center laboratory. That's true. It don't happen in
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: football often.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: By the way, that half-coastal game, what are we thinking
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: about that one? That spread was one and a half,
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: or I don't know what it is currently, but that is.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Yep, at by one and a half. Man, they are.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: That ain't no gimme, man. I got to think App
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: performs better than they did. I mean, that's got to
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: be an App win, right? Got to be a bounce.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I hope it's a bounce back for Malachi Singleton after
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: 5 of 23 in the rain last week.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: That's going to be one we got to talk about
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: in the college football confidence. Like, our App fans, I
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: don't know, App fans were pretty mad on Monday, man. Like,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: dissing Dow Loggins and stuff. We'll see. Hopefully they bounce back,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: but that's a nice little rivalry, a little mountains-beach rivalry
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: that series is. Tomorrow at noon, Bone, we got some
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: real good games just– going at noon tomorrow. You've got
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: the big one on Fox, Indiana, and Ohio State. You've
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: got Florida and Texas at noon as well. LSU hosting
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State at noon.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Mario Taylor, do we know his status right now?
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: He's still questionable, and so is Fluff Bothwell, the running back.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: And I just wanted to say Fluff Bothwell. I love
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: the name. I love saying Fluff Bothwell. Those are two
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: serious injuries for them. Sometimes I go outside and just
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: yell Fluff Bothwell. You got SMU hosting Virginia. Interesting game there.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Virginia has not been what we thought, but I don't
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: think SMU's, you know, dominant. They haven't been dominant. So
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: that one's interesting. And then Clemson hosts Charleston Southern at noon. tomorrow, Bone,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: in a get-right-feel-good game for the Tigers. At least it
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: should be. I thought you meant for Charleston. No, for Charleston. No,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: for Clemson. I'm open. So, anyway, those are the noon games, Boney.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: At 1 o'clock on ESPN +, Charlotte at Temple tomorrow. Temple,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: 21-point favorites. Does Vegas just start at three touchdowns and then, like,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: with Charlotte? Like, it feels like that's the baseline, and
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: they'll either go up, down, or stay the same. I
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: got to tell you, that's not as bad as usual, though.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Last week was four touchdowns. And by the way, I
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: hate to say it, doesn't it feel... like the other
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: team covers most of the time? And rather quickly, also. Oh,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Connor Harrell going to start again. I thought he was
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: all right. A couple interceptions, though. North Texas had that
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: covered by halftime. It was, yeah. 40 to 40 to 10.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: 40 to 10 at the half? Yeah, yeah. All right,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: so let's get to the 3.30 window of game. I mean,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I have to be honest, man, there's not as many, like,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: big local games. For the local teams, everything's kind of
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: spread out. South Carolina, NC State are on buys. But
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: there's just some big games tomorrow, Bone. Alabama, Tennessee at
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: 3.30 on ABC. Ole Miss, Mizzou at the same time
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: on SEC Network at 3.30. That's a massive game to
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: be on SEC Network. Huge game. Taylor Davis will join
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: us later, who's part of that group. Yeah, she's going
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: to be in the Grove for that one. Then you
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: throw in Auburn, Georgia's 3.30 on ESPN as well. North Carolina, Duke.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: The one we care about the most, ESPN2 at that time,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, ACC Network at 3.30, Michigan and
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Penn State in the disappointment bowl. My God, each of
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: those teams needs a win. That's 3.30 on CBS. So
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of games, Bone, at 3.30, man, that are interesting. Yeah,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: that's a great afternoon. But I got to tell you,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: there's very– look, no matter what it looks like on paper,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: college football Saturdays always seem to deliver in some form
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: or fashion. It just– Just the way that it works out.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: This is a good one.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Whether or not it looks great or not. Like this
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: weekend it looks great. Sometimes it doesn't look great. But
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: college football Saturdays, I wouldn't change those for the world.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Hell no. But this is a damn good one. More
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: evidence of that. The second top ten matchup of the day.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: There's three top– I think there might be like four
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: top 16 matchups or so. There are three– or two
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: top ten matchups. The second one, Notre Dame, BYU– Catholics
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: versus Mormons bone? Have they labeled it that one? Have
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: they labeled it that? ABC tomorrow at 730.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: I think BYU is in some trouble in this game,
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: although Leonard Moore has been injured, Matt.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: That's something to keep your eye on. Is he playing?
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: I have to look that up. I didn't see the
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: latest report from yesterday, but LJ Morgan's also been hurt
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: from BYU. He's not playing. He's definitely out. Their star
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: running back is out.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: This feels like a spot for Notre Dame because... They
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: need to prove themselves against these ranked teams based off
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: their schedule. They only get so many of you. Yeah,
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: I have a feeling BYU's in some trouble.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Kentucky, Oklahoma, SEC Network, 730 tomorrow. How about this one?
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Here's it. Matter of fact, I think there's five top
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: 20 matchups now. I think about it because I forgot
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: about Oklahoma State. Houston's top 20 matchup on Fox tomorrow night.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Miami and Florida State, not quite what it used to be, Bone.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: They're playing tomorrow night. How'd that game go? 7 o'clock, right? ESPN,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: 7 o'clock.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: They should put Miami, Florida State, and Penn State, Michigan
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: on the, oh, yeah, these used to be huge game channels.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Classic.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: Put it on ESPN.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Do you still have ESPN Classic? They might not have
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: it anymore.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: God, imagine when I was a kid, if those teams
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: were playing, that was the biggest deal in the world.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: And not that Miami's good, but their opponent not necessarily.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: It was must-see, and you were almost guaranteed to see
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Florida State miss a field goal at the end of
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: the game, usually to the right. I do need to mention,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Wake fans, you've got to stay up late tomorrow night.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: 3.30 tomorrow night, Wake at Cal. Sneaky, tough spot. Deeks
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: are 10-point favorites. That's kind of sneaky. Or 10.30. I'm sorry,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: 10.30 tomorrow night. My bad.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: 10.30.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Deeks are. 3.30 somewhere. Deeks are riding high. You know,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: all the hype. This is a be careful spot maybe
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: for Wake Forest a little bit. Like, don't get caught.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: It definitely is. No doubt about it, man. Cal got
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the Hokies last week. I got to check and see
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: is JKS playing for Cal. We got to check him
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: on the availability. He didn't play last week. It didn't matter.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Jackson Brousseau threw for 323 against Virginia Tech. Let me
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: hit you with the other sports real quick here. You
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: got Charlotte FC tomorrow night. Huge game. You know, this
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: is for fifth place. Philly is the hottest team in
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: the league. Point behind us for fifth. So that game, obviously,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: on Apple tomorrow night in Philly and, of course, on WFNZ.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: You also, Bone, have the Canes. Canes are playing tomorrow afternoon, 3.30.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: They're playing Sunday night at 8 as well. And then
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: you've got NASCAR at Phoenix on Sunday. And, of course,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Panthers-Eagles Sunday at 1 o'clock. And I'm told, Bone, there
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: will be a few more NFL games on Sunday as well.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Some updates here. Leonard Moore is playing for Notre Dame.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: That's a huge deal. And I'm looking up JKS back
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: as we talk right now. Okay. All right, Coach Pauly's
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: saying something like Leonard Moore's in the protocol or something.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: But he's good?
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Just said 17 hours ago Leonard Moore set to face BYU.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Pauly, you might be all right.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Your Irish might be all right. We'll talk more about
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: those games, but we'll do our college football confidence segment,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: and I've got some things to say to Duke and
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: UNC fans and Notre Dame fans in that segment. JKS
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: is a game-time decision but trending towards playing. Okay, and I–
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: I got to be honest with you, he has not
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: played great despite all his arm talent. I don't even
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: know if it's– I wonder if the Bruce Hook would
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: be better. I don't know. But anyway, Wake fans, brew
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: a pot of coffee tomorrow night. You guys are playing
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: on the West Coast. Got to love the all-coast conference
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: phone when you get a 10.30 start time. All right,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: when we come back live from Harris-Cherokee Casino Resort, we're
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: chilling in the fan cave, baby. We're feeling great. We've
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: got to do our usual Friday 7 o'clock segment. What matchups,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Panther fans, have you licking your chops against the beaten
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: up Eagles? And are there many matchups that you're worried
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: about with all the Eagle injuries? We'll talk about that next.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
