  Speaker 2: the Joey Chestnut hot dog eating competition at halftime to remember. Finally,

• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to say. Derk Brown's raving about the defense yesterday and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: their ceiling this year. We've got the Hornets linked to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a veteran backup point guard. We'll tell you who that is.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And Miles Bridges is introduced in Phoenix. Why does he
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: have people in Charlotte talking though? Why are we talking
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: about his introductory press conference in Phoenix?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: So we got that happen as well.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Also, Pete Golding is the new favorite son of coaches
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in the SEC. I don't know Bone how much SEC
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: media days you followed yesterday.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Quite a bit. John Sumroll had me turn my phone.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Off though they were they were fawning over Pete Golding's presser.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: He is a character, there is no doubt. There is
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: no doubt about it. I'm not sure Clemson fans, though,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: are are enjoying him the way the SEC media is.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: But Clemson, we'll.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Talk about it all here on the Mac and Bone Show,

  Speaker 1: get it started.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: We can get more clear. You gonna be left out
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: in the woods because that's where you like to be
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: during training camp.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. As a matter of fact, I would
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: demand to trade. I'm just reporting now. I would like
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to be traded because I don't want to play for jerks.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's trade me to the tradue to the nice guys.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Walker West, Flounder, Bailey put you on a nice guy squad.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Come on those guys. Those guys treat each other with
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: respect and love. What is it show? Oh man, this
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: is You don't know what I went through last night,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: all right, you don't know what I went through.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I felt like, uh, I felt like Fiddy's comment was
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: uncalled for, but I thought mine was okay.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: To you two guys, hitch you out of bound.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I thought I had a clean hitch you in bounds,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and then you were out of bounds, and then Fitty
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: hit you again.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: That's what I think.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: You guys are out there, you know, having a jolly
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: old time at the Ft game.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: It was a blast. That second half. Bone was just
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: so much fun.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I was knocked over in the dog park like Tommy
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: will Sort at the All Star Game. I had to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: be helped out by other dog owners. I'd much rather
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: be at a soccer game than having to get walked
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to the bench by dog owners. Last time, Murphy Murphy
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: knocked me over in the dog park last night. Murphy's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: like smallest, how did that happen? He jumps up and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: did the Tupau move and I was going back.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I can he jump? He can? He can? He can
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: counter surf man, what you do with like a Doberman?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: He can?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He got someps man, You got a styrofoam box off
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the excuse me? He grabbed an entire pizza box off
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the counterwass Is it possible?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Some sort I've seen that move before. Ba Bacon lives
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a big pizza fan in our house. Is it possible, Fitty,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: that someone comes and takes the dog to save Bone?
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's possible.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Do you think somebody like a human rights group stops
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: by the house and it's just like, we need to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: take this dog. You were going to hurt this helpless man?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: He got me good yesterday. We'll get this bruise on
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: my arm over here yesterday. He gotta be good? Yes,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: there are you not feeled for the puppy life bone?
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Is this just no?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: We were We've been doing all right. Just because I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: got knocked down, don't I'm not getting back up out.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: What did Dwayne Wade say, Fitty, you get knocked down?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And did I get up again? What Dwayn Waite say?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I was chumble one, but that's right. Dwayne Wade said something.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You get knocked down and you get up and something.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: There's something going on there. I don't know, Dwayne Waite
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: say text.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I just feel like he is beating you about forty
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to nothing right now, you know what I mean. If
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: this was a fight, the great Mills Lane would have
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: stop this fight. He would have jumped in and separated
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the time. I view it as a day to get better.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I don't view it as a beating.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Whatever happened yesterday, bruises heel all right, I'll going pretty
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: bruised after what happened f in the second half last night.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, you're acting like wait like
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it was. It was fun getting out and about it
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: was a great game.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Would you rather be furious in the second half beat
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: up by a dog or spend the amount of time
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: back there with video last night? Bring that dog over
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and kicked my heinee because Charlotte f C that second
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: half was unacceptable and just sorry, it really was. But
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: before we even get to that, we have the Bobby
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Brown injury news. Yesterday we were talking about the amount
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of injuries that the Panthers have had in the trenches
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with Ikey obviously, Wharton Moten and now throw Bobby Brown
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in this list. And Bobby Brown had you know, has
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: had injuries throughout the off season. Now we find out
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he's got a hamstring injury that he suffered while working
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: out and he will be placed on the pup list
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to start the season. There's no timetable for his return.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: J C.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Horn sounds like it's just a couple of days away.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: But so add that one to the mix. I mean,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it might not end up being a huge deal, boned,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: but it's just another guy in the trenches, you know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: It's just not something we want to talk about already,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: multiple guys before they even really get going.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: It just a shit.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It also makes you realize, man, there's still there's still
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: although the defending reigning NFC South champions, you know, when
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he takes some guys away from the equation mat, there
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: definitely is a some depth that needs to be addressed
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: there because if Bobby Brown were to have missed I'm
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in the season, well I think we harder. Maybe the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: guy anyway, but to me, I think they both can start,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they both can. But when
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you start to lose guys and then you look at
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the guys after the guys, that's part of the offensive
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: line problem right now. Start to realize, man, there's not
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of room to operate some of these positions.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it should be literally Hunter in
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the middle of the Brown sandwich. I think that should
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: be your that should be your your three in a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: three four base.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like so you take and again let's.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I don't want to you know, I got accused of
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: panic and yesterday we know Moton's gonna miss the start
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of the season. But anyway, just got take care of
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the big fellas over there at Panthers camp. Y'all take
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: care of the big fellas because this just then the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: trenches are rather important let's uh, let's talk about this
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Charlotte f C mess because I was having the time
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of my life. Bony at out at this game. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: fit dogg and hour out there. First half, Charlotte f
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: C's up two nil, Hell, it could have been three nil.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Abada had a and then another chance late in the half.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Kalina did have a couple of really good saves to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: keep it at two nil. At halftime, Joey Chestnutt comes out,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: they do a hot him and Sir Minty team up
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: in a hot dog eating competition, and uh, I mean,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: we're feeling great.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: The vibes are high.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: The second half felt like they wanted to be protective
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: of the lead, sit in a bit, and those two
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: moments on those two goals, the defending was absolutely pathetic, awful,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: just absolutely pathetic. Taflo involved in both reim gets his
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: foot on a ball that's headed down and put in
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the goal for the second goal. And then Charlotte FC
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: finally decides to have some urgency in the second half
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: in terms of trying to score a third goal. They
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: in extra time. They must have had seven eight shots
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: an extra time, but they can't score and it ends
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: up being a to two tie in a game bone
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: where they had a two to nothing lead over the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: second worst team in the Eastern Conference at home, our rival,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: by the way, Like, that's just we always talk about
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: all ties aren't created equal.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: That's a tide. It feels like crap for us. Yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it doesn't feel anything like a tie this morning. It
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: feels like a loss. It feels it is. It's a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: loss in some ways. And you're so you're so right
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: about the defense on the goals. I watched the first
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: goal live, then I watched it three times this morning, Matt,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what exactly they were doing. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: know that we're coming off the World Cup and it's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: not exactly the same thing here. But I just watched
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a guy for Atlanta dribble down no resistance whatsoever. Guys
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: standing around the ball gets lobbed in the middle of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the field, and the header goes in with no resistance
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: on the guy with the ball and then the guy
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on the header. No one moved. There is no one
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: moving at all on doing what are they doing? No
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: one moved at all on defense, no one trying to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to stop the dribbler. No one tried to get in
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: away of the guy with the header. Nobody gave any
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: resistance whatsoever, No at all. The second one wasn't much better,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: but the first one was horrible. The Taflo is not
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I said it when it happened. I said, how do
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you How are you letting him get that deep and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: cross that ball that easy? And Tafalo is just kind
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of jogging yah. And then Cleary gets beat on the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: header He started over Nathan Byrne last night because Dean
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: says Burne wasn't as fit as Cleary. Same thing at
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: striker Goodwin starts over over Toklamati fitness thing. The second
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: goal then was the same thing. Ball was sent in,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Tafalo was beaten the air this time, and then Reim
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: couldn't clear it when it was headed down. There was
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Dean wanted off sides. There was a guy in an
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: off side position that was in front of Kaleina and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: may have influenced Kalina a little bit.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: But we can't ask for the refs to bail us out.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: We can't.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: There's some ref complaining right now by app State to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Andrew about this situation in the first half half where
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta player was not red carded. They reviewed it
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for a while. It turned out to be a yellow card.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Back on the TV broadcast. I thought it was one
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of those things where we saw it a lot during
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the World Cup. When you watch it in slow motion,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it looked really bad, but when you but when you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: watched it full speed, you know, I wish it was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a red card, but it did. It didn't feel like
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it was full speed as bad as it was when
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it was slowed down.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: It's just I just don't want to ask sit here
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: when we had a two zero lead against the Settle,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: second worst team in the East, at home and say, man,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the refs didn't do this for us, like, you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: go finish the game off.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: It wasn't the rest fault.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: The defense just stood around and allowed things to happen
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and didn't put pressure on anybody.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: And maybe they maybe they should have.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: You know, the game was open in the first half
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and we gave up three big chances to Atlanta clean
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: and made two big saves.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: They missed another one. I think we were a little.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Save right, and that save in the end of the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: first half there and huge safe stoppage time was a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: shot chip them.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But I think I think what Dean was thinking, there
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: is okay, we got a two goal lead. We could
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: keep playing like we did in the first half and
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: create chances for ourselves. But in doing so, we were
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: very open and we're lucky they didn't score. So but
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I just you got to act if you're going to
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: play more. Okay, let's let's absorb the pressure and defend
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: and then break. You've got to actually defend with some
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: damn intensity, like you got to defend your box like
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: that was frustrating Atlanta.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Max seemed like at halftime dead in the water. Right,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: they're down by two. Think about FC's goals. They came
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: after opportunities were missed by Atlanta. Charlotte then scores their
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: first counter attack goal of the year on one of them.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Atlanta's thinking, man, we're down to nothing. We had opportunities
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and we are we're not very good, and yet the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: game stills up in a tie. That's that's that's that's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: utterly deflating.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: It was a stinky feeling. Joe didn't deserve that, Fitty
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Marlowe didn't deserve that. Chris mack McLean didn't deserve that.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll always have one dollar hot dog. Y'all,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: man throw down, you will always have one dollar hot dogs.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I think Fitty had two. Okay, yeah, I don't think
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: it was anything too crazy. There wasn't a Chestnut like
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: performance going on. Sir Minty, by the way, Joey Chestnut's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: partner in the halftime hot dogging, I'm not I don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: know what he was doing with hot dogs.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I think he was throwing him on the ground. I
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: think I think Sir Minty was cheating. But anyway, by
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the way it might be, it might be worse here.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I do want to say this. Both wings I thought
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: played tremendous. I thought that was the best of Bob
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: has played all season last night. But he cramped up,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: had to be taken off, Vargas got tired, had to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: be taken off. Vargas was great. They both had goals.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: The problem is, there's been the rumors about Vargas and
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: maybe a resilient team or Vargas leaving right and last
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: night he didn't exactly say no, that's not happening. It
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: sounds like there's a very good chance Vargas is about
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to leave us, and I'm not sure that that his
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: ideal at all, Yeah, I playing pretty damn good this year.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: That goal last night was a thing of beauty. Man,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you talk about put it in the right spot. My
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: gratw about to touch.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: How about the touch first touch, you get it away
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: from the defender, get it over onto the left fold.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Almost had another one in there as well in the
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: first half. He did.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Man, they listen, they had over three xg they had
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: twenty four shots like they probably should have gotten another
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: one based on the chances they had. But you can't.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: You can't blow a two zero lead to that scrubby
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: ass outfit. Who oh, by the way, we hate you know.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You got to put that game away. So they've got
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: New York Red Bulls. Hopefully we'll get Maxie for that game.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: But we got New York Red Bulls coming up on
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the road on Saturday night, and I think we dropped
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: back to seventh. We were in sixth. I may have
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: mat cursed this game, though, I mean I may have
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: met curse. There was a there was a tweet I
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: sent out about how amazing the first half was. Then
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: there was a comment I made to our friend Andy
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: in the stands when they showed up on the screen
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the live table, the live standings Charlotte FC at that point,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the live standings, right, they count what what's going on
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: in the game. So they gave us three points, right
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: because we're up to nothing at the time. And I
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: look at it and say, look at that. This holds up.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: We're just two points out of third place. The narrator
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: stepped in, has to step in and say it did
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: not hold up.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought it up, because City Die this morning,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: we're having a little bit of an issue because we
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: did not want to have to bring up the tweet
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: or the comment. So we're glad that you self owned
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that one there. I didn't want to you guys already
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you guys, yeah, I wanted to be I know you're
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: already upset about the walls. I was actually being the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: good teammate and I didn't want to. I mean, I
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: don't know, always want to bring up the Matt curse
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: every time, but I didn't notice that. I did see
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Max last tweet was a positive, and then it just
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: sort of did you to stop.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Did anybody ever think maybe it's the crappy Charlotte sports
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: teams that you can't say a good thing about because
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: because at any minute they could just crap is probably.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: I think that could be.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: But I guess the argument is, Mac, you should know better.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Why are you tweeting about a great first half in
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Charlotte Sports, Well, because you've been here for long enough
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to realize.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I got sometimes that's all we have great halves. I was.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I was upset after the US walls of Belgium that
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: people were blaming you. You were out of the country,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you weren't here, you weren't tweeting. Somebody said your mere
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: existence cost the US the game. I'm thinking, what's the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: guy gonna do? Like, what's supposed to do? I not exist?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Don't answer that I did. I don't get that one.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That's I don't know how many come man's anything. There's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: plenty of people that we can blame it. We ain't
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: going I ain't going there.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: But anyway, Mac, I do have a question for you
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: about last night.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: What's that?
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: What was more uncomfortable for you to watch that second half?
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Or to feel the sweat around my neck when we
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: did the pre match jump around?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the pose and when we were jumping to Peppis,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, you get charms around each other
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: you start jumping, and I'm like, fit of your neck
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: is wet as hell now in fairness of that neck,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: and fairness mind was too. I've got a very sweaty
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: next situation, but Phitty's was very Fitty also had head
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: sweat going on to the bulb dome was sweat. It
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: was so humid last night, man, my god. All right, anyway, Atlanta.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Might be why Charlotte FC in the second half defensively
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: slowed a little bit. They had not played in a
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: while and it was humid, so you wonder conditioning wise,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: whatever you.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Can see, A bottle was cramp and Vargas was tired.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: We need those.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Hydration breaks to become permanent in football.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Did we not have We didn have to have hydration
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: breaks it last night?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Totally? No, Yeah, I mean I would have thought it
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: was hot enough to do that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: That's when you're supposed to do it. When it's hot.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: You have plenty of hydration breaks, though not a couple.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Not when you are not when you're playing indoors in
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: an air conditioned dome. Just because Fox wants commercial breaks,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: that's not when we need to do hydration breaks. But
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I digress real quick. We do need to mention the Braves,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: even though I'm mad at Atlanta this morning, we will
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: mention the Braves. One. This game was wild in the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: late innings. It was a one to one game. Bone
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: in the bottom of the eighth, the Braves score six runs.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: They go up seven to one. They proceed Maderis was struggling.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: They proceed to give up five runs in the top
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: of the ninth, including Iglesias coming in giving up a
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: home run, but he strikes out the last two guys
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: and they hold on seven to six.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: So that that was that game must have been wild.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: One man starting pitchers in the game, King and Martin
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Perez gave up one run. So it tells you what
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: kind of game that not exactly a bullpen clinic.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Last one one, bottom of the eighth and L seven.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like the Braves have been playing San Diego
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: now forever, and yet they still play to day.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: When twelve twelve fifteen today a fourth game before game series.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I have a question also Mac about the Braves lineup,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and I should know the answer to this. Where did
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this uh? Where did this Jarvis fella come from? This
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Jim Jarvis fella. They've got a lot of guys in
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: there that have popped up re seat. I don't know
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: if he's a top I need to look up. Is
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: he a top prospect or a guy that's just kind
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: of hanged. I don't know who Jim Jarvis is completely.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: When you when you're wearing number seventy four, man, you
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: know that they weren't expecting you to be there.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Because Jarvis and dub yeah, Dubond, Jarvis and Hinkland had
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: six hits last night.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: That old that old wall firm.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: There you go, got the dub though, man, But it
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: was they were sweating like me and Fitty's next Brave
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Sands last night.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: That sounds good for this morning when we come back.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Dan Morgan meets with the media and unveiled the plan
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: with mowing out and a panther's vet joins the players,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: speaking up on grassover turf. It's back bone, Fitty, let
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: me get that neck. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: Monroe is going to be at right tackle. We're gonna
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: leave Rasheet at left tackle.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know we have.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Stone for safe. We just resigned Brady Christensen, who can
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: play both sides. You know, we got some undrafted rookies
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: that we're excited about. So I think we'll be covered there.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: We feel good about it, and you know, I know
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Timo will definitely support, you know, Monroe there at right
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: tackle and teach them all. He knows. So yeah, we
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: feel good about it.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Dan Morgan GM of your reigning NFC South champion Carolina
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Panthers as they get ready to practice today. So there
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: it is bone as I think just I think most
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: people guess that was the most likely way to do
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: it with Timo out early in the season, is to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: start freeling out there at right tackle.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Put Walker over there at left tackle. Freely does have
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: more experience, although it's only you know, in college, it's
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you know, a little under two hundred snaps there, but
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: that's that's still significantly more n Verrasheed Walker has played,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: you know, from college and the NFL at left tackle,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and it's on man, it's going to be probably the
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: biggest storyline in camp. There's a bunch of other ones.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Brooks obviously he's a huge one, but just watching
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Monroe freeling at every practice is probably gonna be a
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: thing that the media is gonna be doing. Those Panther
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: tweets that we all like reading so much. When we're
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: not at practice, we're gonna be refreshing and looking for
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: you know, house freeling holding up against the edges.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be the weird thing where we want
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: freeling Mack to stop our own defense for weeks. It's
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: one of those weird things where we're all going to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: be touting that we want to see the edge rushers
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: not be freeling on our own team, and then watch
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: them that adjustment once we get to the season. The
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: setup of Freeling and Walker right left is best for
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the team and it's best for the individuals because you
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: got to think a guy like Richard Walker, who is
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: going to be a free agent, he probably is thinking, man,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want to have to and this year that's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: huge for me in my future earnings and trying to
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: get that money I.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Thought I was gonna get. I don't want to have
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: to go learn the right side.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So put him out left side, make him comfortable as well,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and free link and figure out the right and eventually
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: probably move the left over there.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it is. You know, we talked about
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: this yesterday.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: The one thing that is, you know, maybe a little clunky,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: is what if he plays so well, this is a
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: good problem to have.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: This is Champagne problem.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: What if he plays so well that you're like, I
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: want to play him on the left side, and then
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: he has to make an ncason quick transition as a
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: rookie from right back to left. You know, I think
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: it's the great duke Maniweather, who is an offensive line guru,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: who says was asked what's the difference between playing right
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: tackle and left tackle, he said, it's like wiping with
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the right hand or to left hand. Oh my, there's
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: a little adjustment there. There's a little adjustment there, but
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: never even thought of them. Yeah, everybody could see there's
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: an analogy for you bone, But that's that. I guess
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: that's a good problem to have. If he's playing so
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: well that you want him to play over Walker on
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the left side when Moten comes back, I guess we'll
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: deal with you know what I mean.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: If that's a problem, I guess we'll deal with.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, the depth could end up being really good depending
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: how it plays out. If Walker and Freelink play well
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and then Ikey and Moten come back. Yeah, you're right,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: it's it's a situation. They've got to figure out with
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: some of those things. But you could have You could
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: have a bunch of dudes there and the offensive line
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: depth could go from a problem early you get your
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: former starters back in there or ready to go. You
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: gotta a lot of options there a tackle, But that's
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: potentially that start of the season.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be watching Brady Christiansen too. Is he getting
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: back up reps of tackle? Is he fully healthy or
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: is he not practicing? You know, stone Force hythe is
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: he the guy that's first up at We're gonna be
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: a little little anxious about tackle.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: We'll be watching our new center too, Fortner and heck,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: we got a lot of offense. We got a lot
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: of a lot of eyes on all the offensive.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I mean three new starters at offensive line day one
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: of the season from the division champion squad. You've got
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: the two guards and that's it. So obviously that's gonna
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: be something that we're gonna be talking about big time.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: You bring up Ikey fit give us a little Dan
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Morgan on Ikey because he did talk about Ikey rehabit
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: and kind of where he's at right now.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: I don't have an update on that. What I will
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: say is Ikey's really attacked this. He's in a really
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: good place. The doctors are, you know, the training staff,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: the doctors, they're really feeling good about where he's at
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: right now. It's just a credit to Ikey and who
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: he is, you know, attacking this rehab, not putting his
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: head down and sulkin. He's attacked that on and really
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: proud of him and where he's at right now.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Still no timetable, but you know he gives him a
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: little vote of confidence for the way he's working.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you knew, you knew he would.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: That's the thing about the two guys that are out
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: mac with the tackles. You know that they are class personified.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You know they're all about the Panthers and the team.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You know how hard they're going to work to get back.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: In Ikey's case, no matter what role he may find
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: himself in, you know that dude is going to be
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: all about this organization. Not saying that Motin would. I
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: figure Moten has that right spot when he when he's healthy.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: But Ikey may be asked to play a role that
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: he's not used to, but he'll do it with grace
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and class.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: But that's who I he is.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, but it makes you wonder, what is there
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: a possibility Icky gets asked to play really no role
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: like that. He comes back and whatever's going on at
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: left tackle, they don't want to upset the apple cart. Yeah, certainly,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, is it possible, like he doesn't not to
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: get too grim here for poor Ikey to hometown kid
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and he is a great dude like you talked about,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: but he's a free agent after this.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: See you know what I mean. It's just it's it's.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: It's all Itchy can control right now is just get himself,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: help his rehabit, and then he can't control how the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: other dudes play. If they play well enough, well they
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: they've earned that. The other guys could also who knows, Matt,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: maybe they don't play well and all of a sudden
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: we need it can get It's it's very.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Helping the earth a bit.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Someone's you know, the injury situation and Ichy comes back.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this this O line thing is fluid, man,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: this tackle situation is fluid. Like you said, the center
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: battles an interesting one. So O line is going to
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: be a big focus trophy husband firing off singers at
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the expense of poor Stone Forcythe, who's just getting ready
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: to lace him up bone for his first Panther training
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: camp practice and trophy. Husband says, I just heard how
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: to pronounce stone Forcythe in Spanish. It's senior turnstile. That's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: not true. That man doesn't need that. Stone does not
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: need they need our support man, He does not need
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: those kind of things as he heads in UH to
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: practice today.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: It's not need that.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Support at our stone, right, And I'm sorry I caught
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: him stone Phillips two days ago and it is not
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the old but it's not stone Phillips.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Datelin.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: We did not sign a news anchor to play tackle,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: all right, seven four five, seven oh nine, six ten.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: If y'all want to jump in, football's here. If you're
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: excited about it, send in your text. So we've got
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about Taylor Moton. Obviously, the
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: you know you talk about recovery being important, that's obviously
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: the case. For him suffering from the bloodclott and his lungs.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: That's a scary one man, and he's got to get
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: healthy before he can worry about playing football. But it
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: sounds like you know, Dan Morgan basically said, we expect
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: to have him around with a presence, being a leader.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: And then Robert Hunt let us in on a story
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: of something that happened during the summer that I think
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: proves bone that coach Moten is going to be is
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: going to be out in about a camp all right.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: To me and Timo two different people. He have a
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: different personality than I have. So I'm a little when
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: it come to football, especially i was around. It's been
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: me just being who I am, giving my presence. That's
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: what it is. You need my help, I'll help you.
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: The other day, we're out here and we're practicing. This
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: ain't even like this is beyond this. This is summertime.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: We don't have to be here. There's no schedule, nothing,
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: and we're out there. We're going and we do this
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: like a little indie drill and uh, the rookies are
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: doing that deal. He's yelling at him. He's on a bike,
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: get down, get lower.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: You need to be lower than that.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: You need to be And I'm like, okay, So they
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: can be ready for him to be low key kind
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: of coaching from the sideline. He'll be very nobody there word,
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: he'll be very into it. Tim will be every day
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: coaching like he's a coach, so we'll see that part
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: of him.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: So there, you're good, Radio line, you got a new coach.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: We're always thinking that Teamo is so quiet. Maybe to
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the media he is, but that's interesting that he's out there, uh,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: in the summertime, getting after the young guy.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: So that's interesting.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Whereas Robert Hunt says when he was injured, if you
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: ask me a question, I'll answer it for you, Timo
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: is over there yelling, still barking out orders and commands.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: So that's cool to see. So it would be it'll
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: be Goodie, it'll be Gilbert, and it'll be Timo. Three
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: offensive line coaches apparently to start training camp and the
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: first practice later on today.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I did want to mention Bone. What did I want
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: to mention? I don't know.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, we gotta do this little national media attention. Cameron
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Wolf who and I'm sure he loves it. Bone has
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: kind of been given the Panthers beat for NFL network.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: He is, he has a regular for it.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: He has a regular presence with the Panthers, so you
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: will hear him talking Panthers a lot.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: He's the one.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: This this kind of went viral on Panthers Twitter about
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: he was the one that was reporting that the plan
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: is to use Tmac Moore in the slot this year,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: and his reasoning makes sense. If you get Brasel on
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: the field, Brasl is not a slot guy. Brasl is
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: put him outside. Matter of fact, last year at Tennessee,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: it was like it wasn't just that he was an
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: outside guy. It was outside right, like ninety of the time. Right.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah, if Brazl Xcel's a little more slot oriented,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I think I think Walker was saying, yes, I was
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: listen to Walker, like thirty seven percent in the slot
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: last year. Brasle was like five percent in the slot
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: last year at Tennessee. So if you get Brazl giving
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: you good reps on the outside, Cameron Wolf says, they
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: want to mess around with even more uh snaps in
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the slot for t Mac. Cameron Wolf explain, I guess
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I have ruined Did I ruin the cutfitty? No?
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: Never?
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm sorry, Cameron Wolf. I kept I kept yapping.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Cameron Woof, you take it away, NFL network, Yeah, keep.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: An eye on Tenor Roman Millen playing more in the
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: slot this year. Obviously they used him in the second
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: half of the year at times there, but they believe
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: their young receiver Chris Brazl will be able to play
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: a little bit outside, which will give t Mac an
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: opportunity to really thrive inside.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: They think his size will be a big asset.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: From what I understand, he put on a by eight
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: or nine pounds of muscle this offseason. Gives him a
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: lot more physicality to the line up in that slot
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: where they could use a skill set to take us
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: at the next level. A thousand yard receiver last year,
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: can he be a fifteen hundred yard guy in this season?
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Can he be one of the best receivers in football?
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: They don't think that is too much to put on
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: his plate. He wants to be great and he has
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: a chance to be great in this new scheme or
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: this new play caller with Brad Hillet isick. So I
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: can't wait to watch him when I get into camp
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: on Thursday too.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Let's do it, baby, Let's do it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Inject that into your veins, Panther fans.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Justin Doloff on Twitter yesterday, I had some numbers about
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: t Mac in the slot, So twenty five percent of
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: it snaps in the slot. Came in just three games,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: but he got ten targets in all three games. In
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: two of those three games, those are his highest PFF
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: grades of the season of eighty four plus in two
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: of those games.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Sounds like it might not be a bad idea yet.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: You get team mack get won those crossers also from
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the slot, which is really good at but it all
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: depends on getting We know that Coker who.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: Can operate from the slot.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Team you can, but it's also if you're gonna put
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Tack in the slot, well someone's got to take the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: top off the defense on the outside. That's where Brassel
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: or somebody comes into play to make sure that this
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: can go down this way.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like that hinges on like how successful
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: brasl is early. But it's gonna be fun. It's gonna
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: be fun sorting all this stuff out. And again we
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: come into the season feeling a little bit of swagger
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: for the I know we were eight nine, I know
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: it's only eight to nine swagger. I know our division
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: is a bunch of Dodos, but we're coming in here
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: as ragning division champs.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It feels pretty cool. I have a list season thing here.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Matt that may burn your biscuits, but you know what
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. It's camp day to day. You know what,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Throw it out away, turn out away. We don't need
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: ESPN's ranking of rosters of twenty five and under and
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: where the Panthers are in that list, all right?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Twenty first, yeah, twenty first, down from twelve last year
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: because Ikey and Bryce graduated from the end. They like
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Bryce for this list because they're saying because Bryce graduated
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: at twenty six and not the Panther Enicky and not
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the Panthers down nine spots. We have to we have
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: to talk about let you hear Robert Hunt's comments about
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: turf versus grass, because a Texter named Boose will not
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: let us not play this clip right now. He is
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: on us bone. He is honest, like J C. Horn
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: on Drake London right now. So let's let's get into this.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: It has been that we've talked about it. It's been
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the big movement. Players have noticed the grass on the
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: NFL fields that usually have turf at the World Cup,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: and I cannot blame them bone for pointing it out.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: In basically an NFL P A p R campaign, Devin
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Lloyd was a part of all the tweets the other
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: day saying, you know, hey, give us grass. If you
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: can do it for the soccer players, you can do
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: it for us. Robert Hunt was asked about does he
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: have a preference of turf versus grass, and this is
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: what he said.
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean to show that he could be done right, Yeah,
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: it could be done. I am a fan of playing grass.
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: I play on turf, obviously have turn on here, but
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: as a player, I probably prefer grass. I think a
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: lot of us probably do too. I mean it's again, buma,
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: hey Gray. So you know the people that make the
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: call that to make the call, but I will say
• 34:11
  Speaker 8: loudly probably that I am a fan of plan of grass.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Yeah, And I'm not sure. I'm
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: not sure this means anything to our ownership. I'm not
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: sure it does.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: You had another guy, another team leader, another outspoken guy,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: saying what needs to be said for the sake of
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the team. But does it does it fall whose ear?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Does it fall on? Well, the the person that he's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: talking to. We have no idea, no idea. Yeah, apparently
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: it doesn't. Yeah, I'm not sure it's registering with our ownership.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure these comments around the league are registering
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: with other ownerships around the NFL.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: And I and I said it the other day, I like,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I could see when the owners care is when they
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: realize we can get something we want in the next
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: CBA negotiations by giving you this, by finally ponying up
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: to spend the month money to you know, install the
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: grass and maintain the grass and stuff like that. But
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: there is the there is the comment of can you
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: do the events you do over there they listen, there's
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: a more nuanced conversation bone. But I would like to
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: see or I would like to see this done for
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: the players. Man, they're out there playing this brutal and
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: savage game and the NFL owners are are raking, raking
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: in the cashola. It just feels it feels like this
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: is something that, my God, in a just world, you
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: could do for that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: They're gonna say, you want your grass? What about Game
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: eighteen or something of that nature. That that's what I
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: brought the other day. That seems like that's probably the
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: likely outcome of that discussion. When we come back, the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Hornets are waiting to a vet back up point guard. Actually,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: mattol Kisa brought up another guy as well, we need
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: to talk about it in addition to that one there,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Miles Bridges is introduced in Phoenix, and he made a
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: comment that people in Charlotte have noticed, especially Sports Radio
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: nine seven w FNZ, Sports.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety two seven wfn Z Mac and Bone with
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: you have a Texter saying, uh, Charlotte FC puts up
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: two goals last night, all being in the tie. Where
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: are my Willie P. Gold calls? I've been jones and
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: haven't had one in weeks. We're pacing ourselves. I can't
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: do it right now. I'm just I'm upset. I'm upset.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I'm upset.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Bone.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: The first half had me feeling and so good and
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: dreaming about the possibilities when Maxie joins this, this this team,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: and the second half has me depressed as all get out.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Man, I'm not ready. I'm not ready for the Willie
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Gold calls.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we will get We will at least sprinkle in
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: one or two as the as the show goes on
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: here on the on the macket Boat Show. But what
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: we have to do now is we've got a little
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: bit of of Hornets news here. It starts Bone with
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: the report from Michael Scotto from Hoopshype. That's uh that
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: there is a link between the Hornets and backup point
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: guard Dennis Schreuder of the Calves. He is uh, he's
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: a guy that Michael Scotto reports that Hornets are interested in,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: and there is you know, there are some ties here
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: that that makes sense. First of all, he says Jeff
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Peterson's a fan of his. They were together in Atlanta,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: so there's a relationship there. He also points out a
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: very good point that Shrewder will be a veteran with
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: the two young bucks our guys Anderson and Steinbach on
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the German national team over the summer. Okay, so there's
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: a relationship there too, So kind of makes sense from
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: that standpoint. Bony, how you feeling about this one? But
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: this one worked for you? Well there you want a
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: veteran point guard. Yeah, there's not a you look each option.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: You could say that there's negatives at this point, but look,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: he's been around a long time. He seems to always
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: be productive wherever he goes.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Mack.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that doesn't last long in spots,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: whether it's the it's a tradable deal or he ends
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: up getting traded or signed. He's on the move a lot.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: And maybe it's his personality too, you know, he does
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: get involved in a lot of stuff on the quary.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's I don't know, there's something there retruder. But
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: if you need someone to come in for a while
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: to bridge that gap between Kobe White and when Christian Anderson,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: whoever the main backup point guard band up being there,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: we'll see what Anderson's role is. I think Shrewder is
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the right guy now. Matt Alquiza, our friend from SI
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and the buzz Beat podcast. He mentions the Anguel Russell
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: as a possibility because the Memphis Grizzlies and Russell are
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: expected to work towards parting ways. Russell's on a five
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: point nine expiring contract. The Hornets have eight million and
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: seven million exceptions created at the twenty twenty six deadline
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: from Colin Sexton at Dyas Jones. They could use that
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: and get the Angel Russell, another guy who seems to
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: move around quite a bit, but productive when he does
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: go places.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there are guys out there still think I just
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I just lost track of where Russell even was it was.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I wasn't sure he was still in the league. To
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: be honest with you, to your point, I think it
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: was Owen Owen O'Connor, Yeah, who covers the Hornets who
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: brought up the idea of Brandon Williams, who had a really,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: you know, good season, like low key good sea I
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: sound like I sound like a teenager right now, low
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Ki that's Russell. That's their favorite man right now, low key.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: But anyway, had a low key, pretty damn good season
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: this past year. So there are some options out there,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: but the only direct reporting is from Michael Scotto. Hornets
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: are interested in Shrewder. They would have to trade for
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: him though, right Like, he's still got two more years
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: on his deal in Cleveland, got two years thirteen point
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: eight million and then sixteen miles.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I was going to say he's got two years and
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: thirty million last Yeah, so definitely, I don't know if
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I love that is more pricey, this is what I
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: love that now. Kisa was saying price wise, you know,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and production wise, Russell, you get him for a lot
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: cheaper than he would Shrewd.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I got no need for a two year commitment to
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Shrewder for thirty million, honestly, don't.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: You think I don't need a thirty million backup point
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: guard right now.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Like, what do we what are we trying to do?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know there to our point in
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: this segment, there are other guys available that can come cheaper.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: You have already shown in your actions it's not all
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: about this season, you know, So I don't know.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: If it was about this season. Shrewder seems to be
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: like a higher gun backup that these playoff teams bring in,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: and I don't think they're I'm not sure if that
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: makes sense.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: For them at the moment. He doesn't fit our shooting
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: profile either.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Man nine percent from three last year, thirty four before that,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: thirty before that, thirty two the year before that, hasn't
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: shot it well the last four years of his career.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: So anyway, while we're sitting here bone talking about all
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: these backup point guards, we've reached a really exciting part
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: in the Hornets off season.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Man, we got to get Panthers back to Panthers training camp.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: But anyway, while this was going on here, Miles Bridges
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: was being formally introduced in a press conference in Phoenix.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: He got the attention of Hornets fans. This definitely bothered
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: some hornets fans. Uh what he said bone about his
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: relationship with the fans after the domestic violence situation, his
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: relationship with the fans here in Charlotte.
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: Just how the fans embraced me. You know, at first,
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: when when my friends got back, it was it was
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: my attention, you know. As the years went on and
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: I was doing stuff in the community, you know, and
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: embracing the fans while I was there, I feel like
• 41:55
  Speaker 9: the truns Kin came back and they were seen who
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: I was as a person. And you know, I feel
• 42:00
  Speaker 9: like Charlotte fans love me, and I love him as well,
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: you know, and I hope to do the same thing here.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what planet is Miles on. First of all,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the fans that you think love you, I'm sure there
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: are some because it's just the way it operates. The
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: majority of fans are rooted for you as a basketball
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: player and not a person after what happened. They were
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: rooting for you because you got resigned here and you're
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: on the basketball team, and it made it awkward where
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: we still had to pull for you, despite nodding not
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: wanting to have to pull for you. Second of all,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: you mentioned the community thing there when it all first
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: went down years ago, I said, what are you going
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: to do publicly for domestic violence awareness, whether it's Safe Alliance,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: all these organizations. Are you're going to be on billboards, commercials?
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Is that going to be your thing?
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Now? About?
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: You made mistakes and you're going to try to help
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: others not make mistakes. He's mentioned in the community there, right, Yeah,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: what did he ever do for the community? I never
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: saw one thing that he did, so you're talking about
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing there. I would I would ask, No,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I don't expect Phoenix be me to ask. I would
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: ask Miles, what did you do? I'm curious what did
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: you do for the community? I never saw damn Tinge?
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember when he was asked.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: I remember he did his first presser when he came back, Yes,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: and he said he was asked the question about are
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: you going are you going to do some stuff in
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: the community, you know, to kind of and he was
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: kind of noncommittal. Then you're right, I don't know of
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: anything publicly enough. If he was doing stuff, you know,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: low key, I'll use that again out of the spotlight,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: and someone will correct me.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: I'll stand corrected.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: But like, I don't think it's anything publicly has really
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: been out there. So yeah, that was that was an
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: odd comment to me, man, And uh, I don't know.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: It feels like it definitely feels like revision is history,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: not saying that people didn't root for him, like you're
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: saying at the Hive, Yes, and maybe that's what he's
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: talking about, but the community stuff, yes, does the question
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: what were you know? And here's the thing, if he
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: was doing stuff right that, you know, that's I wish.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: I wish that would have got publicized, right, you know
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: what I mean? I feel like it should.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: It should.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: It should show that you do at least care a
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: little bit about giving back, you know, in a situation,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: in this situation. So anyway, I don't know. Man. All right,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: let's do it, baby, Let's get back to football though
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: top of the hour, We're gonna get right back into it.
• 44:28

• 44:34
