  Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Mack and Bone with you. Love
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: the feistiness of college football fans here. And I'm so
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: glad that we have some actual wins that have, or
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: moral victories in some cases, Bone, that have fan bases.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Wanting to talk trash to each other. I like that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Uh, Panther fans been talking a little bit of trash, um,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: after the latest win, doing it with all kinds of
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: injuries on Sunday night football against the lions. Uh, what
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: a W man, what an environment the other night and
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: a man that was on the field and part of
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: it like he is for every dang Panther game. He
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: is the Ironman of your Carolina Panthers, America's lawn snapper, uh,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: He is JJ Jansen who joins us on the Mac
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: and bone show.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: JJ congrats on the dub man. How you doing?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: We're doing great. Yeah, it was a fantastic, a fantastic
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: night in Charlotte. I feel like. the entire like Carolina's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: area has figured out a night games in Carolina between
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the playoff game, between the blackout on Sunday night, I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: feel like we've figured out that vibe pretty darn well.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So maybe a Sunday night football and Monday night football
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: starts showing up here a few more times.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: So it was, it was rock and it was fun.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: No doubt about it. And I wanted to ask you, like,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't know. I don't know how many
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: of you guys in the locker room pay attention to
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: all the yappers like us and others on the outside. But, like,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: the task felt pretty daunting for you guys because of
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: all the injuries, the O-line, the cornerback injuries, the weapon injuries.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: How did you guys feel going into the game? Like, like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: do you hear any of that noise and does it
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: feel daunting? Like we have to do something, a huge
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: task to win this game or, or do y'all.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Not think like that at all or pay attention to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: any of that?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you certainly get questions in the media
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: portion of the week. So whatever is sort of being
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: talked about outside of the building naturally sort of leaks into,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you know, locker room availability on Wednesday and Thursday, maybe
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: even a Monday after the game, because injuries become a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: big storyline every week. But this particular week, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: having not having a Jalen out there to play and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: losing Mike Jack and and JC amongst, amongst others, certainly
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that conversation probably showed up more in the locker room,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: more in the media, not necessarily during, you know, install
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: time or as, as we're handling it. But the thing
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that I've tried to impress upon everyone in the last
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: handful of years is the way the rules are built
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: up for the rosters. You really aren't playing with a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: 53 man roster. You're playing with a 69 man roster,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: including your practice squad. We actually get a 70th because
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of the international player program. So you have 70 guys
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on your roster and when guys get thrust into duty,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: they've been here for six months playing, you know, at
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: wide receiver at corner or whatever that is.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And what that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Actually helps is the coaches as well. They know the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: skill sets, of the guys they have. And so coaching
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: becomes a really big deal when you start losing starters,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: because you may have to adjust some scheme to fit
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the skillset of the backups. The backups are rarely as
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: good as your starters. That's the reason why JC is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: getting paid a ton of money. And Mike Jack's been fantastic.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Coker has been awesome. They're, they're the starters for a reason,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: but other guys have different skillsets that And so you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: really lean on the coaches to put all those guys
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in good, positive situations. I think that's what you saw
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on Sunday night. A lot of guys played really, really well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: but that's in part due to them, but also in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: part due to the coaching and setting up a new
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: plan each given week.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: JJ, how much has the game from your vantage point
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: that we don't have, how much has the game slowed
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: down for Bryce Young here in year four?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Well, for clarity's sake, our vantage points are very similar
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: because we're both not on the field. Most of the game.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So how does the game slow down? I don't know
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that the game has slowed down for him. I think
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that he has always had this temperament. What I, what
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I see more of with Bryce, and this is a great,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: credit to him, but also to Brad Izzik and to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the entire offensive coaching staff is we have really leaned
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: into the things that in my opinion, he is exceptional at.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: He's got as quick a hands as anybody in the league.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: He is easily a top three quarterback throwing on the move.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So as we've introduced a lot more RPO, a lot
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: more play action keeper, we're leaning into the things that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: he's really.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Really good at.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: He's got a quick trigger. He's got, he's a very
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: decisive player. And so now We get to explore a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: part of offensive football that most teams don't have access to, right?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Like just look at the juxtaposition between Bryce and Jared golf,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Jared golf played fantastic over the course of last Sunday
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: night's game. He threw for over 400 yards, but when
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: there was pressure in his face, he got rid of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the ball. It's just boom ball has gone a lot
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of throwaways, a lot of incompletions. Bryce is able to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: accept those pressures and allow one more step for TMAC
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to find a void. maybe Chuba to find a blitz
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: pickup because he's willing to stand in there because he
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: can get rid of the ball so quickly. And so
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: what I, what I've seen is, you know, every player
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: is developing, right? He's Bryce is in year four, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the skillset and how we marry that to the scheme
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is probably the best it's been since, since we've all
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: been together. And that was really what came alive. And
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: then again, The big catch by T-Mac, the big runs
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: by Chuba. Once you get that feeling from a quarterback
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that he's kind of into the flow of the game,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it just feels like everybody else's game steps up, and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that's what I think we saw on the offensive side
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of the ball on Sunday.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: And to your point about Bryce dealing with pressure, the
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: third highest-rated pass grade on PFF went under pressure.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: He has been just.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It was really something kind of interesting. Even going back
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to last year, if you go back and look at
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: those numbers, Bryce has always been excellent under pressure. You
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: don't want your quarterback to be under pressure, but yeah,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: some of those pressures are, are him extending the play.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So you get a pressure grade and it's like, oh,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that's Bryce under pressure. Well, Bryce, because of his skillset
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: is actually allowing some of that pressure to come to him,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: which gives a little bit more room for a receiver.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Like I said, to find a void or make one
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: more move to get open. So it's not all like, well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: was he pressured or not? Bryce is actually Inviting some
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of that. It's a little bit of a rope-a-dope. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that's where his skill set really comes alive.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Dude, I'm so glad you said that because I made
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a comment yesterday. I didn't know if I knew what
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I was talking about. But I said it anyway, JJ,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: like always.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: What day that was?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Clearly didn't stop you, bud.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: No, it never does. I just throw it out there.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I hope I do.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: But I said there were times with rushers where I
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: almost felt like he was almost like a soccer midfielder
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: where it's like I draw the defense in and then
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I release the pass. My guy makes a run. I
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: draw the defense. Now it's time to release the pass.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I almost wondered if Bryce was that in control where
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: it's like, I see you coming. My guy needs another
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: two steps. And now and like it seemed like he
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: invited those hits, but they were dimes, man.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I always, I always kid him because he's got
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: so many different arm angles. I always said, Bryce, it's amazing.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You didn't play baseball. I feel like this is a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: baseball game to you with all the different arm angles.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And he's, he's literally warming up laughing because he's dribbling
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a basketball. And he, and he looked at me and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: he's laughing. He goes, no, it's basketball. Like I'm a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: point guard. Like that's all the, all the, all the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: different passes and his footwork. If you see it as
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a basketball player, It's probably one of the greatest in Charlotte.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: It's one of the greatest lessons for kids is go
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: play multiple sports because the, the starting quarterback for the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers is out there passing a ball. Like he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Steve Nash or Chris Paul. Some of us know Chris
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Paul better than others. And that's what he's, that's how
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: he's playing. So I mean, that's, That's how he's playing.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And it's pretty cool to see that he's bringing in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a unique skillset to our offensive side of the ball.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Speaker 0 5,0 It's funny. You bring that up, JJ.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I went to high school at Chris Paul.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: I had never heard that before that brand new.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Information to all of us for the last 20 years.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just thought it was coincidence that you brought
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: it up there. Hey, my Uncle Joe sent in a text, JJ,
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: for you. It's a good question. Please ask JJ about
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: the post-game locker room celebration that was posted where it
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: appeared that Canal was called on you to wrap things up,
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: but the video then cuts you out of it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Unfortunately, they cut out the post-game prayer and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: giving thanks. So, yeah, that was– I usually– I wind
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: us down with giving praise to God and not only
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: thank you to Jesus for a victory, but also hopefully
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: healing mercies on everyone that got hurt. Maybe that hadn't
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: worked in the first three weeks because we had a
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: few more guys hurt than we would like. but we're
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: going to keep praying. But yeah, I got cut out. Unfortunately.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: What more do you need from a player on the team?
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: And this guy, what does JJ not do over there?
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: I need to know the answer. Cause I haven't heard
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: anything yet.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I don't play quarterback. I don't play quarterback, which is
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a good thing for everybody. even if I do so
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in my own brain.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: By the way, JJ, there is a cart talk knockoff
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: out there.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you're aware of this.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Middle Tennessee State University Athletics does a thing where they
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: ride around on a cart and they ask athletes questions.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, go find a tractor. Get off your cart. NC
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: State does the tractor. Stop it. We've got a family
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: on the line. JJ, I say you get your lawyers,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: you file a dang lawsuit. All right.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. I think I should feel honored.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: It's the old flattery is the highest compliment you can have.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I'll take that one.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right? Oh, is
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: that what they say? That's a little different.
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: JJ, I have a question. Do you ever see the
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: victory dances that we do, JJ?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I do see them. I don't know if I watch
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: them all the way to the end. You know how
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you watch something and there's a cringe factor? It's like,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I can't watch this anymore. That usually ends somewhere around
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the fifth or sixth second.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Of the whole thing. No, I get it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: You don't want to get too hyped up, though, because
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: you don't want to. It's like reading headlines. Positive stuff there.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: It's rat poison or dancing.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: It was a little bit like Bryce said in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: locker room. We got like 24 hours to celebrate this,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and then we're on to the next thing. When it
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: comes to your victory dances, I give myself about six seconds,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and then I'm on to the next thing.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: You don't want to get too high. The average on
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Facebook is 3.4 seconds, so you're double.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Just give us a click, y'all. Give us a click.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I've always been double the average fan for you guys.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: JJ Jansen is with us. All right, let's get to
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: a couple of these texter questions. We're going to do,
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: by the way, montage of misery, Detroit style. How are
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: the Detroit fans, radio hosts, podcast hosts, how are they
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: handling that L yesterday? We're going to let you hear
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: it coming up in a few minutes. JJ, so this
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: is a great question. You were shown on the screen
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: during the broadcast talking on the sideline to Coach Canales.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: It was while the referees were were having discourse over
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: what happened on a play and what the penalty was.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Were you explaining to Coach Kanellis what was going on,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: being the rules guru?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember what I was saying. I was
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: probably telling him, hey, this game's going so well, you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: think we can just get off the whole bye week?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: That was probably a good time to just start negotiating
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: with Coach. If it was after a special teams play,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: there may have been– trying to figure out, they had
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: hit a ball out of bounds and we had had
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: a holding penalty. And I thought there was a, at
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: least a chance that they were going to repunt. So
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: probably working through that, I did not realize that ended
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: up on, on TV, but yeah, it's never, it's never
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: too early to start negotiating the bi-week plans. If you're,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: if you're winning the week before. So I was just
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: trying to get the conversation started.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I respect it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: 6 0 as a referee, I mean, I'm sure in
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: your career it has, but do the referees ever get
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: annoyed by you talking or are you always kind of
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: welcome for discussions?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> Uh,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: there's a, again, there's an ongoing negotiation that's happening between
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: me and, and all of the officials. I think they
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: somewhat tolerate me because on some level they assume that
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: in my next career, I will be an official. So
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: maybe they worry, like I might be like kind of
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: part of their group. So they're a little bit nicer
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to me. But other than that, it's just, again, look,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: we're out there for three and a half hours, and
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: this isn't going to shock you, but I need people
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to talk to. So sometimes the officials are just the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: people that are going to get that feedback from me.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Now, they never hit you with an FU like the
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: guy did to Trey McBride and got suspended two games,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: did they?
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I think they're nicer to you.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: They're nice to me now. I'm not swearing at them. So,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you know, that probably probably goes a little bit of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a way in terms of the niceties.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I tell them when they're wrong. And sometimes the good
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: officials will even respond to you and be like, yeah,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I missed that one. So I always appreciate that. Eventually,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: those kind of come back around. So, again, I. the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: officials have a tough job. Those guys on the side
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: get yelled at the entire game. If you ever watch,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: they actually switched sides at halftime. And I'm convinced part
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of it is because at some point when the entire
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: bench is just yelling at the down official on the,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: on their particular side, you just need a break and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: just move over to the other side. So they have
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a tough job. And yes, we don't need to be
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: swearing back and forth. Label got hit with a penalty
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: this week for swearing at an official. Uh, usually you
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: don't see penalties, but there's a lot, there's a lot of, uh,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of French being spoken from time to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: time on the NFL.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I believe it's shocking.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Part of the reason I have to play at the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: end of the game.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Please Lord, forgive us. Forgive us for all this sinning.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: We just did on the field.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: All right, brother.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Congrats on the level. Congrats on the win. Have a
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: great bye week, man. Thanks for coming on.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it, guys.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go. That is J.J. Jansen, ladies
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, and institution, ladies and gents.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: I was wondering how much leeway do the coaches give,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: or do the refs give the coaches? Because to get
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: hit with that, you have to really cross some sort of,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: like Vrabel got, you really got to say something bad, right,
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: to get the unsportsmanlike as a coach.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: Because we see him cussing out the referees all the time.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing. What's the line?
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: I know each ref's probably different, but how far do
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: you have to go to get a 15-yarder?
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: I heard he told that ref, your effing mistress doesn't
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: look near as hot as mine did.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Or is that not it? Did I get bad information?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Anyway, let's entertain you here. Now, Adam Gold's coming up.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: We're going to see his thoughts on the Canes through
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: three games. They've got a game against Montreal tonight. We're
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: going to talk college football with Gold. Wake State coming
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: up this weekend. But right now, though, let's entertain you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Let's hear how miserable were they yesterday, thanks to the
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Panthers in Detroit on sports radio, on the sports podcast,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: the Montage of Misery Motor City Edition.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Because today is the funeral for the season.
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: Every year, man, I just pray that somehow, someway, these
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: guys are going to give me a Super Bowl before
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: the good Lord calls me home, man. I had to
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: turn the game off last night. I've never turned off
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: the game. Last night, my wife was, hey, please go
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: in the other room. I can't do it. She said,
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: I can't do it, babe. I can't do it. She
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: is like, this is going to put me in the hospital.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Nobody really cares.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: The Lions, no defense. You might as well have given
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: them your playbook because they ran through you. The Lions
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: defense had diarrhea.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Lord have mercy.
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: Kelvin Shepard, you got a notepad? You got your own
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: notepad that says Detroit there with all your damn plays?
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: How about this? Are you ready for this? 32nd in
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: the NFL, points per game allowed, dead last. 32nd yards
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: per game allowed, dead last. 32nd passing yards per game allowed,
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: dead last. Dead last also, you have the worst third
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: down defensive percentage in the NFL. Dead last, 52%. Dead
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: last in the NFL on third downs. Dead last in
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: the NFL on fourth downs. 32nd in the NFL in
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: red zone scoring. You're dead last in everything.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: He has to catch the ball when it hits him
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: in the hands. He led the league in drops a
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: year ago. He's had drops already this season. Even the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: hardened J-Mo defender has to go, dude, come on, man.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: How can you defend a guy who has the most
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: drops in the league? Well, it's easy to defend him.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: You don't have to defend him. He'll drop it. Just
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: settle down, man. And Ennis Rickstraw, we're banking on that
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: dude to be the savior.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: And he stinks.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Everybody stinks. And I can't take it anymore. Defenses win championships.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: It's the tale all this time. And I got to
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: watch an offense score a bunch of points and a
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: defense allow a bunch of points.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. You woke up the wrong mother bleeper. This
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: isn't a playoff team.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: This isn't like if you thought, well, maybe we can
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: win the division and, you know, maybe, well, let's get
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: a home game and maybe we can win a home game.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And I don't know what you guys are mad at.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Remember when the Lions were bad?
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: Be grateful.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: You have to be grateful for everything that's going on.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: What's your problem? What the hell? Jamison Williams, you are
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: a professional football player. You drop the ball every single week.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: You are a professional football player. You dropped six yesterday.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: Six.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: I'm tired of it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: And Jamison's great. Jamison's great. Look how fast he runs.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Every game he drops the ball. Every game, like enough. Oh, no,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: we're attacking J-Mo. Yes, we're attacking J-Mo.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: The offense was damn hard to watch.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: 92.7 WFNZ. Shout out to the Ticket in Detroit and
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Woodward Sports. Woodward Sports does a lot of good kind of.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Podcasts that are live, though, Boney, I don't really know
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: what I'm talking about here. I sound like an ung,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: where they take calls and stuff. It's really good stuff.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: They had the guy getting real mad. He got called,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I think it was Gooch that called him Detroit Willie.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Says he sounds like Detroit going eight Mickeys during a
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: goal call.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: And he.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: That guy was angry. I will be honest, though, Bone.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: He also said, Gooch also said he makes dry brats.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: That's the Detroit version.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: The Detroit Williams for those infamous dry brats. I will
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: say this, though. When the guy was rattling off how
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: the Lions are last in every statistical category on defense,
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: I did have a flashback to our show two years ago.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to lie to you. We have been
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: there before. Bone, if, look, I don't want to touch
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: the money, but just work with me here. If we're
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: able to put together– Adam Gold coming up here in
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: a second, Mac. If we're able to put together a
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Philly montage in a couple weeks. We did one before
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: when they beat us and they were angry. They were
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: angry they didn't beat us by enough. That could be
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: all-time anger, the way they're feeling if they lose to–
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: They could very well lose to Jacksonville this week, right?
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: And then we could be their third straight loss. That
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: could be the most unhinged audio ever played. I feel
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: like it would be.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I feel like every time that we start fantasizing about
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: what a montage of misery would sound like, we lose
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: We'll stop doing it then. Oh, God.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: A lot of people asking Bone, the woman that they
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: think is Granny Pat in the Detroit montage of misery.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: A lot of people... wondering what is going on there, Bo.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: You know anything about this?
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: No, that's just the audio that was pulled. That's a
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: caller to Detroit Radio. It's amazing the way they can
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: sound like our listeners sometimes. No, I didn't even really
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: notice it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Or the host sounded like Willie, one.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Of the callers sounded like Randy. That's amazing. All right, anyway,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: let's do it, baby. Let's get to Goldie. We got
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: to talk. We love Gold! We got to talk about.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: NC State's big win against Louisville, their big game against
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Wake in Raleigh. We got to talk Canes. It's all
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: happening with Adam Gold right now, 99-9 to fan in Raleigh. And,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: of course, you can hear him weeknights at 7 o'clock
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: here on WFNZ. Goldie, how you feeling, man?
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I feel great. It's a beautiful day. Yeah, I feel great.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: It's a beautiful day.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I'm skipping.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: It's like the old record. Cody, you've got to be
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: a big fall winter weather guy, right?
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the best season. It's better than every other season.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Fall weather is the best.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. I agree with you 100%. Now,
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: are you coming to Charlotte this week? Are you hopping
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: on the train for the ACC tip-off at all this
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: week or no?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: No.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Could you sound less happy about that, Goldie? I was
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: hoping to see you.
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: You know what?
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: If I could just come down and hang with you guys,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: that would be fine. But, man, I'm not college basketball.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: We're not starting for another month. Why am I talking
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: about it now? I've got 16 different things. I can't
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: even work in. Sham FC into my conversation on the show. Oh,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: hold on.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Watch yourself now. Watch yourself. I know it's Man City-Liverpool week.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I know it's Man City-Liverpool week. Watch yourself. Goldie, get
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: to Stanley Cup.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Appealing, appealing, and adamantly denying still, Goldie. Goldie, get to
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Stanley Cup. Put it on the train and come see us.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: You don't want to leave the cup, do you? That's
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: the problem.
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, no.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: The cup is secured.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: So, Goldie, let's get focused here, Goldie. Enough of those
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: pot shots. Let's focus. Let's start with the Canes. It
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: might have been wrapped up in football this weekend, Goldie,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: while the Canes were playing their second and third game
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: of the season. What are your thoughts now of the Canes?
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: We watched the opener, and that game was a bit ugly,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: and the disappointing way they lost it in the final
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: seconds of overtime. What have the first three games been
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: like for the Canes?
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: First one was a pillow fight between basically the two
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: best teams in the East. Second game was Carolina got
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: horrific goaltending, unfortunately. Didn't play a great game, but the
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: margin was about their goalie was really good and Carolina's
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: goalie was simply not. I love Brandon Bussey, but that
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: was a rough night. And then they got back to
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: their game in Philly on Saturday night. It needed overtime,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: but every Hurricanes-Flyers game goes to overtime.
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: What was it? I'm trying to think.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Seven of the last nine games between these two teams
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: have gone to overtime. No joke. Which includes all, you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: the four playoff games, two of which were settled in overtime.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: But Carolina looked like Carolina. And that's what we're looking for.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: And tonight in Montreal, I think will be a really
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: good test because I think the Canadians are excellent. and
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: it should be a fun game.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Goldie, what was your assessment of the Panthers' performance on
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Sunday night, specifically Bryce? The MVP chants are raining down.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: What did you think of that game, what they did
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: on the national stage?
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Well, there were so many good things about it. Bryce
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: and Teterow and McMillan were just ridiculous. I think it's
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: a bad defense. Detroit's got a bad defense. And in
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: three of the four games that they've played, they've really
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: gone up against bad defenses. The Browns' defense was good,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: really good, actually. The corners are good for Cleveland, and
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: it was a little bit more of a slog offensively. But, man,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Bryce looks like the thing. And we know how good
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Tedderow and McMillan is going to be. And I tried
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: to type out on Twitter in the third quarter that,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Nine plus four equals like a hundred million dollars. But
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: it just kept defaulting to 13. And I'm like, I
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: can't make the joke, Elon, if you won't let me.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: How much money are they going to get? Like they're
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: both going to get paid basically at the same time. McMillan,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: you can't even extend him until after next year. Bryce
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: is going to get his deal. For all we know,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: they'll sign it during this season. They should. If I
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: were the Panthers, I would get to it as soon
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: as possible. Certainly before another quarterback gets paid, although I
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: can't think of another quarterback that's about to get paid.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: But Bryce is your guy. He's proven that.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: You've got Stroud. You've got Caleb Williams. Caleb's got to
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: wait until the end of the year, but Stroud's a guy.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Drake May and Nix would be after the year with
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Caleb Williams.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: Get to it soon.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Get to it before those guys do it.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: That's not a bad point. You know what I mean?
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: The market's only going to go up. And haven't they
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: seen enough that when he plays at this level? I
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: would agree with you. Goldie, what do you think of twofold?
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: NC State, what did you think of their win the
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: other day against the Cardinals? And then secondly, what do
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: you think about that wake matchup in Raleigh on Saturday? Man,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: that one now has some juice to it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, before I get to the state stuff, shouts to
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: the Panthers' defense for just hanging in there. The red
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: zone defense was good. Yeah, late they made it interesting,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: but I thought that was a very good defensive effort.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Heck yeah. NC State did what NC State does. Just
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: when you think they're ready to pack it in, They
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: win a great game against a really good team. I've
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: heard some people throw shade, you know, it's just a
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: two-and-three team.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like, have you.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Seen Louisville's schedule? I mean, Louisville's schedule was tough, right?
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: First of all, they beat SMU. Wake's legitimately good. So
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: that loss by the Cardinals, that is not a bad loss.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: They lost to Ole Miss by just a– One score.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Louisville's a good team. That is a very good win
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: for NC State. And maybe they don't win the game
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: if they finish the deal against Vanderbilt.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: But when we.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Looked at NC State's schedule at the beginning of the year,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: we thought, man, if they could be 4-1 after five games,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: they'd be in great shape. Well, they're 3-2, and they
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: should have beaten Vandy. So, you know... I don't know
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: how to process it other than this is NC State football.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: And I mean, I like the program. I respect Dave.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I love Salty Dave because he's just entertaining as all
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: get out. And look, I think this is going to
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: be a hard game because Wake is legit. I still
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: don't think State's defense. is all that good. I anticipate
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: another high scoring game. You know what? If NC State
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: wants to play Big 12 football, I'm here for it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I like the entertainment value of it. So State Week
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: should be fun.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: It should be, man.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to that one. That's going to be sweet.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: All right, Goldie, you are the man. It's good to
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: hear from you, dude. Well, I guess we didn't hear
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: from you. We called him, I guess. Anyway, good to
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: talk to you is what the hell I'm trying to say. Goldie,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: keep up the good work, brother. We'll talk to you
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: next week.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you never walk alone, right?
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Watch yourself. Oh, I hope Man City wins. I'm chirping
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: next week if Man City wins. I know the whole
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: league's rooting for you, though. I understand that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Sham City.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Drop this, man. Drop this, man.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: This is tough. All right, there's Adam Gold right there.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Man City appealing and still vehemently denying. I don't understand
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: what y'all are talking about. Let the process play out
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: a little bit further.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: All right, it is time. You don't want that. For
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the Fit Dog.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: It's time for the Fit Dog with an update, ladies
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: and gentlemen. A little Fitty Flash. We got a Fitty
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Flash during the victory dance yesterday, Bo.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Not one we asked for
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: or sponsored. How about the conversation? H & S Roofing said,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: we don't want that. We don't want that deal. Fit,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to stall until you fire your music over there, man.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Trying to stall for it. There you go. I was
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: going to fire the music when you quit talking. No,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: just play it underneath. Just play it underneath. How about
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the conversation, Bone, where Fitty.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: genuinely asked, is he allowed to victory dance in his underwear?
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: And I said, I'm fine with it, but you have
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: to ask Bone. Bone is the conscience of the show,
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: and he will give the final answer. And Bone said no. No,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: I didn't say no. I said ask those in charge
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: of the building and the company.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Who'd you want him to ask? One of our bosses.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I said go ask the ball. Why do I make that?
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: You said go ask Marcia. There is no way Marcia.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: That's essentially no. There is no way Marcia's signing off
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: on that eyesore. That's why I said go ask her
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: because he wasn't going to ask her.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: But what if she said yes? Finny, it's not about
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: us watching you. It's about other people having to see that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: Why do you want people to have to see your
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: kibbles and bits?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: But you're not. If you're wearing boxers, there's no kibbles.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Why do you want to see this? I don't know.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: I just want to celebrate, man. It's very celebratory. You
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: know what I mean? Very celebratory. Can we get to
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Finney's update here? I thought this was Finney's update.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, Finney, go ahead, baby. Get your update in there, kid.
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: This update brought to you by the H & S
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: Roofing and Gutter Company. Guys, do not wait for a
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: small problem to become a big one.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: If you see an issue with your roof or your gutters,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: give them a call.
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: They'll give you a free estimate. Two baseball series on
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: the verge of coming to an end after yesterday. The
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: White Sox stayed undefeated. They beat Cleveland 4-3. And the Rays,
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: they went up two games tonight on the Yankees. They
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: beat the Bronx Bombers 5-2. So we are one win
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: away each from a Rays-White Sox-ALCS that we all predicted
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: back in spring training.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Well, first of all, White Sox, the worst team ever
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: a couple years ago, and now to do what they
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: did is a remarkable turnaround. The Yankees last night, three
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: errors in the first four batters. Aaron Boone said before
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: the game that he was playing Ryan McMahon at third
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: base for defensive purposes. He booted the first play of
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: the game. So that's really working out well there. But
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: we're not a baseball show. We are a football show.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: When we come back.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: If the Braves win tonight, we'll be a baseball show tomorrow, though, Bo.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, we will.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: Is Bryce really a leading MVP candidate four games in?
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: Or are we really just big old nasty homers? It's
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: a nasty audience by QC Mechanical. Coming up next, Sports
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Radio 92.7.
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: That ball was nowhere near Darren Waller. That intentional grounding,
• 33:39
  Speaker 11: things closer than Darren Waller was to that football. Like
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: Chicago is closer to Hammond, Indiana than Darren Waller was
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: to that football. Number 88 was in the area.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on. What are we defining as area?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Area code?
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Now, this one I got to give.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: This is a little Detroit montage of Misery Bone cutting
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: room floor bit of audio.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: This is from the ticket in Detroit. I got to
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: hand them this one.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: I enjoyed listening to them bitch about their defense and
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: how their Super Bowl window is closing and the season
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: is over.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed all of that.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: They have a legitimate point bone about that grounding call
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: that didn't come for Bryce when he sailed the ball
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: about 30 feet over.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: The head of Darren Waller.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: And somehow the ref said 88 was in the area.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God, that was beautiful. That's when you know
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: it's your night.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: I laughed out loud on the replay because, you know,
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: I know people were mad at Collinsworth. But he obviously
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: saw the replay first. He was laughing. And he said,
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: watch this. That thing was so far, so far away
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: from Darren Waller. That was closer to you in the
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: press box, Matt, than it was Darren Waller. Remember, I
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: was on the couch, and it was still closer to me.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I forgot.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: It was still closer to me, Bo. I knew that
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: it wasn't going to be close. I couldn't imagine how
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: far away that was. But guess what? Good football teams
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: get calls like that. Make your own luck, baby. I
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: would be so mad if that happened to us, but God,
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: It is funny. I just... I have this.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I get this evil grin and evil laugh mode when
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: we get.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: A call like that.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, when a call goes against us, I am about
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: a step away from breaking my television set.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Was that your evil?
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: That sounds like Popeye.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: That's Popeye right there. I kind of go Herman Munster. Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: All right, let's do some Bryce MVP talk, shall we?
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: We got some text yesterday. You just eased into that
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: like that's a normal, oh, that conversation again. Just another day,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: another Bryce MVP conversation. So yesterday, a few people, not
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: many of y'all, but a few had the audacity to mock.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: The Bryce Young MVP chance. How do we do it?
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: That's embarrassing. Some dude said we have become the lame
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: NBA fan base that chants MVP at a guy that
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: is nowhere near the MVP. Would I bet my money
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: on Bryce to win MVP? I'm not sure I would
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: do that. I'm not sure we're going to have enough wins, Bone.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: in order to have our quarterback win MVP. I'm not
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: sure 9-8, Bone, that quarterback is winning MVP. But my
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: whole point about it is if you look at the
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: way he is playing right now and compare him to
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: other players around the league, compare him to quarterbacks, because
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: you know the MVP has become such a quarterback-centric award
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: like the Heisman is. If you compare him to other quarterbacks,
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: I have to be honest with you, I think he's
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: playing top five football right now.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: So by virtue of that, four weeks in, I think
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: he should be considered one of the leading MVP candidates.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: But obviously, we've got 13 freaking games to go.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: And obviously, it's a tough hill to climb when you
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: have that many quarterbacks in front of him. Right now,
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: in the odds, Josh Allen leads. Then it's Brock Purdy.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Then it's Mahomes, Trevor Lawrence. Lamar, Prescott, Burrow. But the fact, Matt,
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: that we could even have a discussion that involves into
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: the second month of the year Bryce Young for the
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: MVP and where would he fall in the pecking order?
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: It's fun. Think about where we were a couple years
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: ago to where we are now. So even if you
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: say no, that's fine. The fact that we're having a
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Bryce Young MVP talk... It's glorious to have. And oh,
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: by the way, Matt, real quick, I'm looking at the
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: awards odds right now on ESPN.com that they update after
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: every game. Don't forget, there's MVP and Offensive Player of
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: the Year, which often will go to the best skill guy, right?
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: TMAC has entered the top 10 in the odds for
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: Offensive Player of the Year.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I saw that.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Isn't that interesting that TMAC is 10th at 30-1 to
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: win Offensive Player of the Year? Bryce is not in
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: the top 10 of the odds. Tyler Shuck is in
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: the top 10 of the odds. and his team is 1-3.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford has six touchdowns and six picks, and he
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: is on the odds. So again, the odds are not
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: necessarily based off of... Like, if you ranked who right now,
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: let's say somebody.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Let's say they cancel the NFL season, Bone, the rest
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: of the way. I really have no scenario why it
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: would be canceled.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: The Panthers are good. We have to cancel the season.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: We can't let Bryce have a whole season where he's
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: one of the best quarterbacks.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: I believe Bryce Young should be one of the five
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: leading MVP candidates if this was the entire season.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Now, the problem is, Bone— You got to go 17 games.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: It usually goes to a quarterback whose team gets a
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: crap ton of wins. So that's where you get to
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: guys like Josh Allen, Brock Purdy, Mahomes and Lawrence, who are.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: The top four in the odds.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: So I'm not as much of a doofus to where
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: I think, oh, yeah, Bryce is going to win this thing.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: If the team is 9-8 or even 10-7, I can see, Bone,
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: that even if he plays great because of the overall
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: win total. But when you factor in, Bone, what he
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: personally is trying to help this team overcome, all the
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: injuries on the O-line, most pressured quarterback in the league,
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: all the injuries of the weapons, the injuries to— both
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: starting cornerbacks, and the burden on him to put up
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: points to win now because of that, I would argue
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: he's played, and he still leads them, leads the league
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: in yards, is the second highest graded quarterback on PFF,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: ranks up there in many other metrics, Bone, in the
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: top five in many other metrics. I would argue that
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: he's been one of the five best quarterbacks in the
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: damn NFL.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: And here's what's crazy about it. We've been begging Bryce
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Mack just to be a top 15 quarterback overall. Just
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: get to the upper half of the league. Just be
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: top 15. We never said go be top 15 in
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: the MVP odds, right? That seemed like high living. But
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: the fact that we can now talk about that... is
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: a huge deal and as far as the t-mac thing
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: goes real quick that's a crazy climb because we weren't
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: even considering t-mac having the best start of the year
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: at wide out for the panthers that game was so
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: good on sunday night on the national scene that he
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: cracked the top 10 for that award when he hasn't
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: even had the best year in full yet like he's
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: had one really off the charts game and yet he
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: still cracked that top 10 i would also what playing
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: well in prime time can do for you I would argue, well, absolutely.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: And I'm so glad that those two put on that show.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: We're getting ready to do a whole segment coming up
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: in a few minutes at 9 o'clock that's the talking
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: heads raving about Bryce. Because, like, I love that. Like,
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: I get a buzz off that like I do a
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: hazy IPA. Like, I just can't get enough of people
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: talking about Bryce has arrived, he's blossomed, all this stuff
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: they're saying. And it is cool that those two guys
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: showed out. And it's really cool, Bone, that we got
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: the dub with the country watching the other night. It
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: is a beautiful thing. One thing about Bryson, the MVP, Boney,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: I do the— y' all know this, and I'm sure some people
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: have heard me say this— I do the PA announcing
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: for the Sun Valley High School soccer games. So last
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: night I get on the mic. Some say the Vince
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: Scully of the operation. And I screwed up the clock operating.
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: I did.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: I screwed it up again last night. I'm not going
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: to lie to you.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: But I get on the mic and I have like
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: a script I've got to read about sportsmanship and everybody's
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: got to behave themselves.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: But before I get to it last night, I say
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: quick editorial. I'm sure both schools fans can agree. It
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: was Marvin Ridge at Sun Valley. I said, Bryce Young
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: for MVP. I was so proud of myself. I thought
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: I was going to get a huge roar from Panther
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: fans in attendance. I look outside, and no one reacts
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: at all to that comment. I'm like, all right, let's
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: get along with tonight's message. I didn't know what to do.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: I thought we would have had a Bryce MVP chant,
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: and I got damn crickets.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with you all out there, man? You are
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: a dangerous man with a microphone, though.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: My wife says, if you would just shut up sometimes,
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: you'd know how to run the clock.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: You can figure that clock out if you just shut up.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: She's turned into Miss Terry all of a sudden, just
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: bullying me around. Oh, yeah.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: She's, yeah, she comes down. You got some more clock trouble? Yeah,
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: I messed up the clock. I messed up at the end,
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: but it actually helped Aiden get more playing time by
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: me messing up.
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: People were mocking you last week, so you need to
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: explain that the clock does stop at that level, right?
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: People were asking, how does Mac mess up the clock
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: when it doesn't stop moving?
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: Varsity High School soccer. I didn't know this until literally
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: two minutes before the first game. I was like, because
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: JV doesn't stop. Like our club soccer doesn't stop.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Like so.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: But varsity high school soccer, they stop the clock at times.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: And so does college soccer. When I watch college soccer,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: someone did have a good point because sometimes I forget
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: to put the goals up, too. And and some dude
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: said to me, Mac, they.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Score like two or three times a game. How can
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: you forget? Are you looking at Twitter during this time?
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: No, I'm I'm trying to focus, baby. You're not doing
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: the basketball games. I could keep up with that score. Sir,
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: you're 12 points behind on each team. All right, we
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: come back.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Matt just said it.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: We're going to have a full Bryce audio segment. What
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: are they saying around the football world in raving about BY9?
• 43:29
