Mac & Bone Hour 2: USMNT Praise & Jaylen Brown Gets Traded · Mac & Bone Podcast

0:15
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we had to dig deep for that one. Obviously,
0:24
Speaker 1: I felt we put on such a good performance and
0:26
Speaker 1: didn't deserve the red car. I mean, I I didn't
0:29
Speaker 1: see it, but it's unfortunate. But for us to dig
0:32
Speaker 1: in deep like that and just to get another goal
0:34
Speaker 1: and to defend the way we did it took a
0:35
Speaker 1: real team efforts. But we're proud of that.
0:38
Speaker 2: There you go, Christian Polissik. They had to dig deep
0:41
Speaker 2: when they want to man win a man down. That's
0:43
Speaker 2: him on Fox after the big two well win for
0:46
Speaker 2: the US second knockout.
0:48
Speaker 3: To nil, Mac to nil.
0:49
Speaker 2: That's a phrasing, right, Okay, soccer fitty, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
0:53
Speaker 2: soccer fitty.
0:53
Speaker 4: Anyway, I texted with William during the game last night,
0:56
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, he's that was all in.
0:58
Speaker 2: But he talked to Soccer Bone for three minutes today
1:00
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, he's an expert. All right,
1:03
Speaker 2: let me continue what I was saying here to bring
1:05
Speaker 2: the radio show back that Christian Polisic was talking to
1:09
Speaker 2: Tom Ornaldi there on Fox after the win and the
1:13
Speaker 2: US now moves on to the round sixteen take on Belgium.
1:16
Speaker 2: I was also saying it was the second knockout round win. Ever,
1:19
Speaker 2: they doubled their knockout round Victory's bone yesterday. It really
1:24
Speaker 2: is remarkable how little we've done in the World Cup.
1:27
Speaker 4: That's a credit to this squad and maybe the indictment
1:29
Speaker 4: i'd say on the past squads.
1:32
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is why this squad should be praised.
1:35
Speaker 2: It is why every win we should celebrate, and it's
1:39
Speaker 2: why this team should be celebrated, why this team should
1:44
Speaker 2: be lauded, and it's why you guys should be into
1:47
Speaker 2: this team. I mean, I get if you come with
1:50
Speaker 2: a negative soccer energy today, there's no way in hell
1:52
Speaker 2: I'm even giving it a look like I just this
1:56
Speaker 2: is US pride to me, And there are plenty of
1:59
Speaker 2: people on the text linebone, and there are plenty of
2:02
Speaker 2: people gonna that game is going to be over thirty
2:04
Speaker 2: million viewers, and you don't get to that with just soccer.
2:07
Speaker 2: Dieheart's right. You have a lot of people that you
2:10
Speaker 2: know are embracing this and enjoying this, and we should.
2:15
Speaker 2: This is special. You know, I'm maligned. US soccer has been,
2:18
Speaker 2: whether it's been internally or internationally, how US soccer has
2:22
Speaker 2: always been a joke. They are changing that in front
2:25
Speaker 2: of our very eyes, and all these guys deserve the
2:28
Speaker 2: love for it. Man, it is just great to watch.
2:30
Speaker 2: There are so many characteristics of this team that I love.
2:34
Speaker 2: There are so many players on this team that I love,
2:37
Speaker 2: and I don't want this thing to stop, man, I
2:39
Speaker 2: don't want this thing stoppled. Unfortunately, now we've got to
2:42
Speaker 2: play Belgium in the round to sixteen on Monday night
2:45
Speaker 2: in Seattle, and we have to do it without our
2:48
Speaker 2: goalscorer and flow Balligan up front because it is goofy Redcar.
2:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
2:52
Speaker 4: That bad decision by the referee there could have a
2:55
Speaker 4: massive impact on that game because the US is better
2:59
Speaker 4: both in eye test and stats in odds, they're just
3:04
Speaker 4: better right now than Belgium, is Mack. Here's a sign
3:08
Speaker 4: of the progress that this team has made.
3:11
Speaker 5: Right now.
3:12
Speaker 4: They are tied for seventh on DraftKings and odds to
3:15
Speaker 4: win the World come not so almost say all seventh?
3:17
Speaker 5: What's that?
3:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're tied with Mexico for seventh, But look who
3:21
Speaker 4: they're with in the other teams ahead of them, Portugal, Brazil, Spain, England, France, Argentina.
3:27
Speaker 5: They are behind those teams.
3:29
Speaker 4: But the fact that they're not that far from those
3:31
Speaker 4: teams and where they are in the rankings, that shows
3:34
Speaker 4: you how far they've come to be with those teams.
3:36
Speaker 2: If you want to talk real talk about like who
3:39
Speaker 2: have been the best teams in the tournament, obviously you
3:41
Speaker 2: start with France. You probably then go to Argentina. You
3:44
Speaker 2: don't have to go too far till you get to
3:45
Speaker 2: the US. Now we're gonna have the conversation because I'm
3:48
Speaker 2: getting pressure from people. I made a comment last week
3:51
Speaker 2: bone that I love this team, this team is gonna
3:55
Speaker 2: make a run, but I think we have a zero
3:58
Speaker 2: percent chance of winning the entire thing.
4:00
Speaker 5: Getting pressure from people saying.
4:02
Speaker 2: Mac, you negative boob, Can you please up your percentage?
4:07
Speaker 5: And so we'll get into that later.
4:10
Speaker 2: I'm not, but I'm just talking about how good this
4:12
Speaker 2: team is playing right now, and how much I love
4:15
Speaker 2: this team, how much I love watching them, how well
4:17
Speaker 2: coached they are by Mauricio Pachettino. And this may be
4:21
Speaker 2: it for him. He may leave us. I know we're
4:23
Speaker 2: trying to keep him, but he may leave us. He's
4:26
Speaker 2: a world class coach, and soccer coaches bone don't stay placed.
4:29
Speaker 2: His long time usually so he may go, But man,
4:33
Speaker 2: what he is doing for this team, the way they play,
4:35
Speaker 2: and the thing I love is you saw they have
4:38
Speaker 2: so many different ways to beat you. Like when we
4:40
Speaker 2: were eleven on eleven, we dominated the ball and when
4:44
Speaker 2: we lost the ball, we pressed the ever living crap
4:47
Speaker 2: out of them and they could not string three passes
4:50
Speaker 2: together before we want it right back. I just the
4:54
Speaker 2: way we play with the ball, the flicks, the tricks,
4:58
Speaker 2: the one two's, the combination passes.
5:00
Speaker 5: The runs.
5:01
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it is legit beautiful soccer. The
5:04
Speaker 2: way we play with the ball, and then when we press,
5:08
Speaker 2: we are absolute animals to win the ball back. I
5:11
Speaker 2: mean those guys in the midfield. That midfield is bad
5:14
Speaker 2: ass Weston McKinney Tillman who had the ridiculous free kick,
5:19
Speaker 2: and Tyler Adams might be the most underrated player on
5:21
Speaker 2: this team. Those two dudes will chew your damn leg
5:24
Speaker 2: off to get the ball back. And I just love
5:27
Speaker 2: this team. And then bone that we go a man
5:29
Speaker 2: down on what I think we all think was a
5:32
Speaker 2: ridiculous red card, and they could be shook by it.
5:36
Speaker 2: Right past American teams probably would be shook by it.
5:39
Speaker 2: They say, shoot, we'll just sit in and defend. And
5:42
Speaker 2: by the way, we still had beautiful passages to play
5:45
Speaker 2: with the ball. Even a man down, we defended like
5:49
Speaker 2: champs in the box and we outscored them by a
5:51
Speaker 2: goal bone when we were a man down.
5:54
Speaker 5: Like I just love this team.
5:56
Speaker 2: I'm loving watching this team, and I love that the country,
5:59
Speaker 2: including a lot of y'all, are loving watching this team.
6:02
Speaker 4: I was watching back the lead up last night. It
6:04
Speaker 4: was after it was after the Belgium game before the
6:08
Speaker 4: US game, and Maurice Adu, Danny Parkins and the guys
6:12
Speaker 4: were previewing the US game, and Maurice Adu was talking
6:15
Speaker 4: about they're now playing a brand of soccer that can
6:19
Speaker 4: compete at the highest level because of that what you're
6:22
Speaker 4: talking about with the ball and how wide they're playing.
6:25
Speaker 4: They're playing a wide brand now where they can get
6:28
Speaker 4: out in space and that competes at this level. And
6:31
Speaker 4: you're seeing that in this game. It's the possession with
6:33
Speaker 4: the ball, it's the spacing. It now looks like a
6:37
Speaker 4: brand of soccer that the world plays and not us
6:40
Speaker 4: trying to track them down. Right, we're there now.
6:42
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, if you didn't know, it was the US.
6:45
Speaker 2: You would think it looks like some of these European
6:47
Speaker 2: teams and what And by the way, these dudes are studs.
6:50
Speaker 2: Like we've been talking about this Golden generation for a
6:53
Speaker 2: while now, the most talent the US has ever had.
6:55
Speaker 2: Look at all the guys that play at big clubs
6:57
Speaker 2: in Europe, but they never brought together as a team.
7:00
Speaker 2: Patchettino's brought together as a team, man, And it is
7:03
Speaker 2: freaking beautiful to see. I love the country coming together
7:06
Speaker 2: to hate on soccer refs brings a tear to my eye, man, Like,
7:10
Speaker 2: that's why Fiddy's involved.
7:12
Speaker 5: No, because Fitty can go after some.
7:13
Speaker 2: Report, you can ref hate Fitty jump in, baby jump in?
7:16
Speaker 2: Because all of America matter, what's your level of soccer?
7:19
Speaker 2: All of America I thought was correct. I'm biased, obviously,
7:22
Speaker 2: we're all biased, but like, there should have been multiple
7:25
Speaker 2: yellow cards on Bosnia. And by the way, the fact
7:27
Speaker 2: that that ref let everything go until he and va
7:31
Speaker 2: R didn't with the red card. The fact that they
7:33
Speaker 2: were letting everything go, they weren't calling yellows when they
7:35
Speaker 2: were pulling our guys down from behind, should be yellows.
7:38
Speaker 2: It let it helped Bosnia. That's the kind of game
7:41
Speaker 2: they want. They want they have a bunch of big,
7:44
Speaker 2: bunch of big lurches on the band to muck it
7:47
Speaker 2: up and play physical boy, A bunch of big old
7:50
Speaker 2: lurches on the team. That's not the skill level that
7:53
Speaker 2: they had compared to the US.
7:55
Speaker 5: They couldn't do squat with the ball.
7:56
Speaker 4: Hell, they could not, man, mag I have a soccer
7:59
Speaker 4: question for you know if I if I'm a dumb
8:02
Speaker 4: dumb dodo bird, let me know. But I've noticed that
8:05
Speaker 4: when we were watching other forms of soccer MLS for me,
8:08
Speaker 4: because of Charlotte FC, there's a lot of penalties that
8:10
Speaker 4: are called in the box. There's more penalty kicks. I
8:13
Speaker 4: know that this goes without I'm not talking about the
8:15
Speaker 4: Belgium Senegal, But before that, I was going to ask
8:17
Speaker 4: you they're letting a lot of stuff go, aren't they
8:20
Speaker 4: in this tournament? Is that he says that guy guys
8:23
Speaker 4: aren't fouling or is that the referees not there's not
8:26
Speaker 4: a lot of pks in regulation during this tournament.
8:28
Speaker 2: That's a hell of an observation by soccer bone because
8:30
Speaker 2: I definitely have been thinking they don't want to call
8:33
Speaker 2: penalties if they don't have to like the Harry Kane
8:36
Speaker 2: won yesterday.
8:37
Speaker 5: That's a penalty all day, right.
8:38
Speaker 2: They was looking at it like, so here's your stats
8:42
Speaker 2: and this is going to make you more mad about
8:44
Speaker 2: the red card. These stats are gonna make you even
8:47
Speaker 2: more mad about the damn red card and the fact
8:50
Speaker 2: that flow Balligan now and apparently you can't appeal it.
8:52
Speaker 2: There was some debate online, but apparently the right answer
8:56
Speaker 2: is UNDERFIFA you can't appeal.
8:57
Speaker 4: I see a lot of guys falling in the box
8:59
Speaker 4: and I'm waiting, like, SOFC game, do you hear the
9:01
Speaker 4: whistle and then there's nothing.
9:03
Speaker 5: It's like, wait a bit. It's soccer in general.
9:05
Speaker 2: They are calling way less penalties in the box, so listen,
9:08
Speaker 2: and in general they're calling way less stuff. Twenty one
9:11
Speaker 2: fouls called per match. In the twenty twenty two World
9:16
Speaker 2: World Cup they called twenty five a match, and in
9:18
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen they called twenty seven match yellow cards two
9:22
Speaker 2: point three per match. This year twenty twenty two was
9:25
Speaker 2: three point four to five penalty kicks bone one penalty
9:30
Speaker 2: called every eight point six matches at this World Cup
9:33
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two is once every two point seven matches.
9:36
Speaker 5: There you go. And it was once every two point
9:38
Speaker 5: three in twenty eighteen.
9:40
Speaker 2: So why does this should this make us more angry
9:43
Speaker 2: about the red card? They are calling less, they're letting
9:46
Speaker 2: the players play and they did that all night last
9:49
Speaker 2: night until Var won to get that should have been
9:52
Speaker 2: a yellow on Balligan that was because it was nasty.
9:56
Speaker 2: I mean dude's he went spikes and stepped right on
10:00
Speaker 2: dude's achilles like that is nasty. But the referee, when
10:05
Speaker 2: he upheld the red card bone said that serious violent conduct.
10:10
Speaker 2: It was a gruesome outcome, But I don't think the
10:14
Speaker 2: conduct was violent. It was two guys trying to fight
10:17
Speaker 2: for the ball and shoot, I got out balanced, I
10:20
Speaker 2: off balance and I step and I'm stepping on on
10:22
Speaker 2: your foot like that, and it looked nasty. And another
10:25
Speaker 2: thing that that they're being feeded fief is being called
10:29
Speaker 2: out for and this tournament is that they are when
10:32
Speaker 2: they go to Var and when the referee then goes
10:34
Speaker 2: to the screen, when VR tells him go take a
10:36
Speaker 2: look at this. They are using still frames and they're
10:39
Speaker 2: using slow MOS. Well still frame, bone, still frame of
10:43
Speaker 2: that looks horrible, looks like a red card. But you
10:46
Speaker 2: got to watch it at full speed. It's it's not
10:49
Speaker 2: It's not one of these challenges where someone goes in
10:52
Speaker 2: studs up boom rights to the leg or to the Achilles.
10:54
Speaker 2: So I don't know, that's my opinion, but it feels
10:58
Speaker 2: like just about every soccer person in the world and
11:00
Speaker 2: about every damn fan out there believes that was garbage,
11:03
Speaker 2: especially the way they officiated that game and the way
11:05
Speaker 2: they officiated the whole damn World Cup.
11:07
Speaker 4: The problem with it and I actually saw mac pft
11:10
Speaker 4: comment er and I'm sure other people were talking about
11:11
Speaker 4: it last night from from barstool. Other people were talking
11:14
Speaker 4: about it as well. The problem when you make a
11:16
Speaker 4: call like that in this particular tournament, it's the the
11:20
Speaker 4: guys gone for the next game. So is that do
11:25
Speaker 4: you do you? Is that something back that you think
11:28
Speaker 4: should be changed because he already missed a huge part
11:32
Speaker 4: of the game that he was in. Should he still
11:34
Speaker 4: have to miss the next game? And should it could
11:36
Speaker 4: be more than that?
11:37
Speaker 2: Like they they will, FIFA will look at this and
11:39
Speaker 2: they have the right to go to more games like
11:43
Speaker 2: we got the clipfitty of who the heck is it again?
11:46
Speaker 2: Meola tonimi Ola, former US goalkeeper and former US defender
11:50
Speaker 2: Marcela Barbosa. They are on Golazo, the CBS Sports Network
11:56
Speaker 2: Soccer you know, vehicle and channel. Listen to what they
11:59
Speaker 2: were saying. Bone because this this could go even up
12:03
Speaker 2: from one game, got it.
12:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a tough one, right, because he does come
12:08
Speaker 6: down on the back of his heel. But for me,
12:09
Speaker 6: they're kind of two guys going after a ball and
12:12
Speaker 6: they're not even looking at each other, right, and Baligan
12:14
Speaker 6: steps you can see there.
12:15
Speaker 5: He clearly steps out of my get it. But I
12:17
Speaker 5: was focused on the.
12:18
Speaker 6: Ball, and I guess by the letter of the law,
12:20
Speaker 6: this is what they have to do.
12:21
Speaker 5: But you mentioned Messi.
12:22
Speaker 6: This is the first thing Marcello said to me is
12:24
Speaker 6: he said, didn't this happen to Messi first game? And
12:27
Speaker 6: I was like, well, his name ain't Messi, that's Bolligan, right, and.
12:30
Speaker 5: He's got three goals in this tournament. We need him, no,
12:33
Speaker 5: I know.
12:33
Speaker 6: And now we have to figure out because if you
12:35
Speaker 6: if you, I don't know what you guys heard back there,
12:37
Speaker 6: but we had to call the referee came out and
12:39
Speaker 6: said serial serious violence is give me more than one game,
12:43
Speaker 6: which we hope is not more than one game, but
12:45
Speaker 6: the assumption Marcello's.
12:47
Speaker 5: Two to three game right, and that that would really suck.
12:50
Speaker 5: That's the thing.
12:51
Speaker 2: We got to sweat this out bone. We can't get
12:53
Speaker 2: this reduced, but it could go for more, and I
12:55
Speaker 2: would hope that a reasonable mind would prevail. But to
12:58
Speaker 2: your point about the suspension, reason they have it so
13:01
Speaker 2: harsh on red cards is they don't want you to
13:04
Speaker 2: get away with violent conduct. You could be up three
13:06
Speaker 2: nothing right or down really down. So let's say you're
13:09
Speaker 2: down three nothing, you're frustrated, and you just go studs
13:12
Speaker 2: up the nastiest tackle in the world, and you're not
13:14
Speaker 2: suspended for the next game.
13:16
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
13:17
Speaker 2: I get it now. That's it's gotta be there. As
13:19
Speaker 2: at the turn, did you think it.
13:20
Speaker 4: Was the US were weighted in a way but because
13:23
Speaker 4: of the opponent, But did you think that was the
13:25
Speaker 4: right call? Belgium and Senegal there in the box that
13:29
Speaker 4: that was a pretty bang bang play.
13:30
Speaker 2: Though, But I thought Hurricane should have gotten a penalty.
13:32
Speaker 2: And a lot of people are saying, oh, he flopped,
13:34
Speaker 2: he sold it, but the keeper didn't make contact.
13:36
Speaker 5: I don't know.
13:37
Speaker 2: But but again, a lot of these I mean, we argue,
13:39
Speaker 2: like everybody this soccer stuff, bone is, no one sees
13:43
Speaker 2: the same picture often, you know what I mean? Like
13:45
Speaker 2: it's the soccer folks argue about officiating just as much
13:48
Speaker 2: as anybody else. Texter says earthworm gym text in and
13:52
Speaker 2: says moral of the story.
13:53
Speaker 5: Refs suck worldwide.
13:55
Speaker 2: John says great to see it's not just American domestic
13:58
Speaker 2: sports where the referees are complete.
13:59
Speaker 5: But there you go.
14:01
Speaker 2: Now, I think does everybody feel at home in soccer
14:03
Speaker 2: now that everybody has realized crap?
14:05
Speaker 5: They got crappy refs too in this stuff.
14:07
Speaker 4: Fitty Nick Carbondi tweeted out that the ref last night
14:09
Speaker 4: was the Oklahoma umpire against your heels.
14:14
Speaker 2: There's so many dummies man calling stuff in all sports,
14:18
Speaker 2: but they go to replay and have a chance, bone like,
14:21
Speaker 2: because the crazy thing is the ref did I don't
14:23
Speaker 2: even know if the ref called it a foul when
14:24
Speaker 2: it happened, but he definitely didn't. Wasn't calling it a
14:26
Speaker 2: yellow card like the ref was calling basically nothing and
14:30
Speaker 2: that ends up going to red card. Who are your
14:33
Speaker 2: Let me ask this question, Who's who is America? And
14:36
Speaker 2: in this case Charlotte, who who is everybody falling in
14:41
Speaker 2: love with on this team because Pelissa gets the big headlines.
14:44
Speaker 5: And I thought he was good last night. I thought
14:46
Speaker 5: they didn't get him.
14:47
Speaker 2: Involved enough Bone for much of the first half of
14:49
Speaker 2: this match, and I hope, especially without Mallagan, I hope
14:52
Speaker 2: he's way more involved against Belgium.
14:54
Speaker 4: Who are your favorites you with, Fitty? Who are the
14:57
Speaker 4: guys that you nothing Bolligan as a player? As a personality,
15:01
Speaker 4: how can you not be drawn to a guy who
15:03
Speaker 4: goes by the name Jedi and Jedi. He's got the hair,
15:06
Speaker 4: he's got that, he's got the Jedi Robinson. I'm a
15:08
Speaker 4: fan of I'm a fan of characters all like Jedi Robinson. Yeah,
15:12
Speaker 4: you can't have Jedi and not be a fan favorite
15:14
Speaker 4: that blonde Harry's got.
15:16
Speaker 7: To watch Star Wars and then you can appreciate having
15:19
Speaker 7: the nickname Jedi.
15:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is funny, though the Bone picked it's the
15:23
Speaker 2: Star Wars nickname and doesn't like Star Wars.
15:25
Speaker 5: Maybe I actually watch what you say Star Trek right,
15:27
Speaker 5: that's where he's from.
15:28
Speaker 2: Who's your guys, Fiddy? Who are your favorites on this team?
15:31
Speaker 2: Watching him play?
15:32
Speaker 3: Oh, it's gotta be the captain right, Tim Reim, I
15:35
Speaker 3: mean who.
15:39
Speaker 7: Tim was good? Yes, a little feisty too. Even Mama
15:43
Speaker 7: was kind of getting the like it's some of his antics.
15:45
Speaker 4: This is this is this is this is bad. You
15:48
Speaker 4: don't like Tim.
15:50
Speaker 3: The layup is balliged right. He has the awesome story.
15:53
Speaker 7: Thank God for birthright citizenship in this country because I'm
15:56
Speaker 7: glad he's an American.
15:58
Speaker 3: Cannot be you know, I'm going, yeah, I went.
16:02
Speaker 2: There, down the hall. They'll have you down the hall. Wbtsay, sir, well,
16:07
Speaker 2: you are right, you are right about that.
16:08
Speaker 7: He's the best story. He's electric, He's fun to watch.
16:12
Speaker 7: He had the Lebron silencer last night.
16:14
Speaker 2: He tried to do it on the off sides goal.
16:16
Speaker 2: Then glad he got a chance to do it again.
16:18
Speaker 2: I love the midfield. I think the midfield makes his
16:20
Speaker 2: team go. I think that trio, I mean Malik Tillman's
16:22
Speaker 2: improvement because he didn't really arrive on the scene bone
16:25
Speaker 2: until Pach got here for the US men's national team.
16:28
Speaker 2: And that you could tell how talented he is with
16:30
Speaker 2: some of the skill stuff he does and the free kick.
16:33
Speaker 2: Tyler Adams to me is my favorite player, just the
16:35
Speaker 2: heart and soul guy. He's not big, but watch some
16:38
Speaker 2: of the tech crunching tackles he'll put on. People's not afraid.
16:41
Speaker 2: I mean he got into way a big old jecho
16:42
Speaker 2: last night. I thought he had a concussion and comes
16:45
Speaker 2: right back in. But like I love so many guys
16:47
Speaker 2: on this team. It's just such a lovable team. I
16:50
Speaker 2: love Country Roads being the song. I love the fact
16:52
Speaker 2: that Patchettino is americanizing him cell phone to the point
16:56
Speaker 2: where he is singing Country Roads. I do wish Pochettino
16:59
Speaker 2: would find a diff for an outfit though it's literally
17:01
Speaker 2: the same outfit every game, But I guess it's working.
17:03
Speaker 2: Maybe he's superstitious. By the way, I can't get out
17:07
Speaker 2: of this. I can't get it. We can't leave this
17:10
Speaker 2: segment without mentioning that a bunch of you. Shame on
17:13
Speaker 2: me for not calling this out, but they made mention
17:16
Speaker 2: of it, and that clip we played, But how the
17:18
Speaker 2: hell bone did we go an hour and twenty minutes
17:20
Speaker 2: in and not make the messy double standard point that
17:23
Speaker 2: that that earlier in this World Cup MESSI stepped on
17:27
Speaker 2: the back of someone's achilles going for the ball and
17:30
Speaker 2: no red card, and then this happened. I mean, it's
17:34
Speaker 2: just it's it's it's blatant, I said on Twitter last night.
17:39
Speaker 2: MESSI could film a live, real life version of the
17:42
Speaker 2: Texas Chainsaw Mass. He could take a chainsaw and cut
17:45
Speaker 2: someone's body parts off on the pitch and he would
17:49
Speaker 2: not get a yellow card, much less a wreck.
17:53
Speaker 5: Accurate. I actually, I actually.
17:56
Speaker 2: Alexi was bearable last Alexi's great in that US environ
18:00
Speaker 2: In that US environment, I feel like he's good because
18:04
Speaker 2: you can tell he cares, and when we're playing well,
18:06
Speaker 2: he's good. But when he has to like be holier
18:09
Speaker 2: than now preachy, he's kind of annoying. I had one
18:12
Speaker 2: great that crowd, that crowd outside their set up bone
18:15
Speaker 2: outside the stadium afterwards and before the game, chanting.
18:18
Speaker 5: It was giving me goosebumps. Man.
18:19
Speaker 4: I had one more observation, but I'll save it for later.
18:22
Speaker 4: In soccer yesterday involved the referee shoulders in the game
18:25
Speaker 4: I was played yesterday. I'm very curious what was going
18:27
Speaker 4: on with the sherry nipples. It was the is the
18:30
Speaker 4: referee he's Senegal Belgium game Mac?
18:32
Speaker 5: Why was he?
18:33
Speaker 4: Why do you have Kevin McHale's shoulders? He was like
18:35
Speaker 4: this walking around. I don't know what was going on
18:37
Speaker 4: he was. Kevin McHale is very off putting of a
18:40
Speaker 4: man who he was on a coat hanger. When we
18:42
Speaker 4: come back, Jalen Brown is dealt to Philadelphia and a
18:47
Speaker 4: bizarre move by Boss and they're getting ripped for it.
18:50
Speaker 4: We analyze that and throwing the Hornets angle up and
18:52
Speaker 4: on Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
19:18
Speaker 8: By the way, apologies to the Charlotte Hornets, who I
19:20
Speaker 8: forgot when I was listing all the East teams that
19:22
Speaker 8: are chasing a top six spot next season, because my
19:26
Speaker 8: brain is adult and we're doing this, like pretty instantly,
19:29
Speaker 8: I mentioned the first eight and then I said Orlando, Atlanta,
19:31
Speaker 8: Charlotte should be right in there too. Like that's eleven
19:34
Speaker 8: teams chasing six top six seeds, and the ten play
19:38
Speaker 8: in spots like the East, and then you have to
19:40
Speaker 8: drop off to Milwaukee, Chicago, Brooklyn, Washington.
19:43
Speaker 3: Who the hell knows what Washington is gonna be?
19:45
Speaker 1: Like?
19:45
Speaker 2: Hell, oh, zach Low, I gotta be honest, I'm the
19:49
Speaker 2: how o the Hornets fans feel. Zach Low, I don't
19:51
Speaker 2: think you need to apologize that you initially left us
19:54
Speaker 2: out as contenders for the sixth seed in the East.
19:57
Speaker 5: I honestly don't feel we are.
20:00
Speaker 2: I mean again, we'll see there's plenty of offseason runway left.
20:03
Speaker 2: We do have a trade exception that is almost forty
20:06
Speaker 2: one million dollars, but it just feels like bone and
20:11
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about this Jalen Brown trade and and
20:13
Speaker 2: some Hornets fans are hitting us up saying we could
20:15
Speaker 2: have beat that trade offer. Another Texter said that that
20:18
Speaker 2: trade offer was piddley and ticked off Boston. We could
20:22
Speaker 2: have done better than that. Jeff Peterson, I'm ashamed of you.
20:27
Speaker 2: I don't know if we need to be ashamed. He's
20:29
Speaker 2: done a lot of good work here. I don't agree with,
20:32
Speaker 2: but but I just I don't view I'm surprised that
20:36
Speaker 2: Zach Lowe circle back around and still had us. Now
20:40
Speaker 2: to your point, bone, you were going at it. You're
20:42
Speaker 2: staying on the text line with a guy that was
20:44
Speaker 2: trying to say we're gonna win less than twenty games.
20:46
Speaker 5: He said the roster stayed the same, then they would
20:50
Speaker 5: not win more than twenty eight.
20:51
Speaker 2: And I just find out to be an overreaction, Like
20:53
Speaker 2: I think we will be competitive. I could see us
20:56
Speaker 2: getting a playing spot. But this East right now, they're
20:59
Speaker 2: a lot of teams making strides Toronto with Kawhi Halla,
21:03
Speaker 2: Burton's back in Indiana. Like, there's a lot of teams
21:06
Speaker 2: getting better, and I just feel like we are worse
21:10
Speaker 2: without our creative in LaMelo ball.
21:13
Speaker 4: I'm comfortable with the starters, like I think Kobe the elevate.
21:18
Speaker 4: The elevation just by more years of con and Miller.
21:22
Speaker 4: I love nas Reed. I think Moosa is gonna pay.
21:24
Speaker 4: We need a little more size. I'm worried about when
21:27
Speaker 4: you take Kobe away from what his role was, but
21:31
Speaker 4: there's some young pieces on the bench and I think Allen,
21:35
Speaker 4: Allen and O'Neill will be fine. I'm a little concerned
21:38
Speaker 4: maybe about the overall depth. I think the starters could hang.
21:41
Speaker 4: But you know that's the thing. You you lose Mellow,
21:45
Speaker 4: you move Kobe up, Well, how can you find someone
21:48
Speaker 4: maybe to be what Kobe White was?
21:50
Speaker 5: I don't you do that? But is that Drew Aladay?
21:53
Speaker 5: Maybe I don't know.
21:54
Speaker 2: That One's that one's tempting to me use your trade
21:56
Speaker 2: exception on it. And you only have him under contract,
21:59
Speaker 2: then he will nothing for this year and then next
22:01
Speaker 2: year he's around thirty four million, but it's the final year.
22:04
Speaker 2: He then could be tradable because he's an expendable deal.
22:07
Speaker 2: It's not a huge commitment, and it would make the
22:09
Speaker 2: team better now. And he's a dude that can shoot
22:12
Speaker 2: it from three, So he fits our type right the
22:14
Speaker 2: way we want to play. But he plays defense, and
22:16
Speaker 2: I know he doesn't attack the rack like he used
22:18
Speaker 2: to bone, but he still can freaking defend. So the
22:22
Speaker 2: scoot thing I've said, I'm interested in the holiday thing,
22:24
Speaker 2: I'm becoming more interesting. I guess it would just depend
22:26
Speaker 2: on what we have to give up.
22:28
Speaker 4: And there's so much there's so much pedigree with holiday championships.
22:31
Speaker 4: He had the Charles leaknection. Good make sure first he's
22:34
Speaker 4: first class. I mean, you talk about a guy you
22:37
Speaker 4: want to around a young team, I mean, it's that
22:39
Speaker 4: dude right there. But again, I don't know if are
22:42
Speaker 4: the Hornets trying to do that. Are they wanting that
22:45
Speaker 4: or like you've talked about, or are they just content
22:47
Speaker 4: just to ride this. I don't know what's going on here. Again,
22:50
Speaker 4: I'm going roster by roster right now, trying to figure
22:53
Speaker 4: out whether it's in the immediate or within the season,
22:58
Speaker 4: who may pop free that they could use that on
23:02
Speaker 4: of a star nature because it's hard to figure this
23:04
Speaker 4: out sometimes.
23:05
Speaker 2: It is it's hard to know where Jeff Peterson goes next.
23:09
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the dude that we know that we
23:11
Speaker 2: are not trading for bone, and that is Jalen Brown
23:14
Speaker 2: just got another text seven oh four number. I'm not
23:17
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say I'm ashamed like the other Texter
23:19
Speaker 2: of Jeff Peterson. But when I found out Old asked
23:22
Speaker 2: Paul Georgian, two first is what it took. I gotta
23:26
Speaker 2: be honest, I wish we pulled the trigger. Do you
23:29
Speaker 2: have do you feel that way too, Bone? When you
23:31
Speaker 2: saw the trade package, Like, do you feel like Charlotte could.
23:34
Speaker 5: Have beat that trade?
23:35
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we have to say this, they
23:38
Speaker 2: could have beat that trade package, right because if they
23:40
Speaker 2: wanted to, we have so many first round picks, like
23:44
Speaker 2: picks the next seven years.
23:45
Speaker 4: Wait, flexible things to offer like asset wise, we could.
23:48
Speaker 2: Have given up three or four. Someone says, give up.
23:51
Speaker 2: We could have doubled their first round picks. The question is, though,
23:56
Speaker 2: is Jeff Peterson clearly like I guess they wanted if
23:59
Speaker 2: you belie Michael Scotto's report about when the Hornets in
24:02
Speaker 2: Boston talked trade, they wanted nas Reed, So that's probably
24:06
Speaker 2: something maybe we were a little shaky on.
24:10
Speaker 5: What do you think?
24:11
Speaker 2: Do you wish they would have made a serious run
24:13
Speaker 2: at him or do you want them to hold on
24:15
Speaker 2: to the all these first round.
24:16
Speaker 4: Picks seeing what Boston got and they got the remains
24:20
Speaker 4: of Paul George at this point in his career. Do
24:23
Speaker 4: you if you could have not given up mac Miller
24:25
Speaker 4: or Cohn, because I don't think you would have had
24:28
Speaker 4: to now, so you would have had and I don't
24:30
Speaker 4: think you cannot do that because of nas Reid. I
24:33
Speaker 4: like nos Reed, but come on, man, he's not He's
24:36
Speaker 4: not the player that Jalen Brown is. So if you
24:39
Speaker 4: could have had a core of Kobe White, Miller Khan
24:43
Speaker 4: and Jalen Brown and then figure out the rest. To
24:46
Speaker 4: me that if you could have got Jaylen Brown and
24:49
Speaker 4: not giving up one of your young studs, I don't
24:52
Speaker 4: see how you could not want that year.
24:54
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of, like what it would be
24:56
Speaker 2: this Texter says our problem.
24:57
Speaker 4: I would have given up a ton of first round
24:58
Speaker 4: picks and nas Reed and said let's put them in
25:00
Speaker 4: there with these other guys.
25:01
Speaker 2: This Texter says. The problem is we would have to
25:04
Speaker 2: come close to matching salaries. That's why Paul George worked
25:07
Speaker 2: well because he has a ginormous salary. So Brown is
25:11
Speaker 2: fifty seven million this year, Paul George is right around that.
25:15
Speaker 2: So yes, it does work that way.
25:18
Speaker 5: So what could we do well?
25:19
Speaker 2: My first thing would be you would have to give
25:24
Speaker 2: up Nasri, He's twenty three million this year. Then I
25:28
Speaker 2: would suggest Bone that you not do Bridges to Phoenix,
25:34
Speaker 2: so we would have one less unprotected first and twenty
25:37
Speaker 2: thirty three, when these sixth graders are ready to become pros, and.
25:42
Speaker 5: Could you throw Bridges in.
25:44
Speaker 2: He's twenty three million, So then you'd be at forty
25:46
Speaker 2: six And then I'll throw like salon young guy nine
25:52
Speaker 2: million dollars, so that would take you Bone to what
25:55
Speaker 2: around like fifty five million, So that would probably then
25:58
Speaker 2: be doable.
25:59
Speaker 4: So then I would have done it, so we couldn't count.
26:01
Speaker 4: You're doing this before bridget so great.
26:03
Speaker 2: You would grade. You wouldn't have that's the rub though.
26:06
Speaker 2: You wouldn't have Grayson and Royce, who looked like two
26:09
Speaker 2: great wings off the bench for.
26:10
Speaker 4: Or guys you could flip in for salary because they
26:12
Speaker 4: made twenty six or twenty eight million dollars combined.
26:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, they could have been moved. So I don't know,
26:17
Speaker 2: maybe this isn't perfect. Maybe you could think of Sam
26:18
Speaker 2: Williams as at fourteen. That's another one there. I would
26:21
Speaker 2: hold on to Grant plus, I don't know if Boston
26:23
Speaker 2: wants Grant back.
26:24
Speaker 5: They had him before.
26:26
Speaker 2: It kind of I don't know. It didn't seem then
26:27
Speaker 2: great there, but that's kind of my thought. And then
26:31
Speaker 2: you go three first rounders. But yeah, you could use
26:35
Speaker 2: grants to this. Dude's says, you.
26:38
Speaker 4: Can't believe Boston traded him to Philly of all teams.
26:40
Speaker 4: Also always always in the same path. It seems like,
26:44
Speaker 4: what that's a very odd not just to trade itself,
26:47
Speaker 4: but you elevate, you elevated Philly. We gotta think Edgecomb's
26:51
Speaker 4: going to go up a level. MaTx, he's great. You
26:53
Speaker 4: now had Jalen Brown. They added Dean Wade as a
26:56
Speaker 4: role guy. We know it's kind of all on him
26:58
Speaker 4: beats I forbid. If he's healthy, guy, they may finally
27:02
Speaker 4: get to the finals next year. That's a huge move
27:04
Speaker 4: for that, And your point's a good one because I
27:06
Speaker 4: saw they traded him to like a nasty rival, right
27:10
Speaker 4: very six or Celtics from Ivory has been nasty four decades.
27:14
Speaker 5: It's so they didn't.
27:15
Speaker 2: So that's what shows me that Brad Stevens got desperate
27:18
Speaker 2: right to trade to Philly to not get that much back.
27:22
Speaker 2: He got desperate, right, Like Michael Scatto says, the Charlotte
27:25
Speaker 2: exploratory talks basically ended. So I don't know if it
27:29
Speaker 2: was as simple as, oh, we can not trading nas
27:30
Speaker 2: reed or I don't know if at that point Boston
27:33
Speaker 2: was still asking for like three or four first rounders
27:35
Speaker 2: and Jeff Peterson wants to hold on to them for longer.
27:38
Speaker 2: But a Texter said, I guarantee you they were playing
27:41
Speaker 2: more hardball with us, asking us for more. But to
27:45
Speaker 2: Boone's point, though, wouldn't they feel better about trading him
27:48
Speaker 2: to Charlotte than Philly. I just saw Peon probably tapped
27:52
Speaker 2: out and said no, I ain't gone there. I just
27:54
Speaker 2: saw principle of not trading to one of your arrivals.
27:56
Speaker 2: I would think that they look other ways, but they
27:58
Speaker 2: did not. This dude says, Jay Brown is not a
28:00
Speaker 2: fit here, we would then have three starting caliber wings.
28:04
Speaker 2: He just doesn't fit on this team. I mean you
28:07
Speaker 2: would probably play small right, like you were already playing
28:10
Speaker 2: small with Bridges at four. You'd probably then just play
28:13
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown the four. I guess, oh, because I was,
28:15
Speaker 2: you know, because Nods Reid wouldn't be here. Yeah, So
28:17
Speaker 2: then under that trade that we said and neither Wood
28:19
Speaker 2: Bridges under.
28:20
Speaker 4: They would just try to figure out how to make
28:22
Speaker 4: it work with Kobe Kahan Miller and Jalen Brown because
28:25
Speaker 4: he does play small ball four. But this textures that
28:27
Speaker 4: you'd have to figure out more you have different lineups.
28:30
Speaker 2: But yeah, this Texas says to bones point, Mac, you
28:32
Speaker 2: could still make the Bridges trade because because uh, what
28:36
Speaker 2: do you say? The trip the Tripper and Royce? Okay,
28:40
Speaker 2: that is that is our boy Gray soon ounds. I
28:43
Speaker 2: feel like we got to stop calling him the tripper now,
28:44
Speaker 2: like he's our guy. Like even me, I know, I'm
28:47
Speaker 2: a smart ass, but why do we have to stop
28:49
Speaker 2: doing that?
28:50
Speaker 5: He's our guy? Now?
28:51
Speaker 4: Why is this not a storyline of one of the
28:53
Speaker 4: good Sons returned.
28:53
Speaker 5: Home Class Act returns.
28:57
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I want a video tribute of all
28:59
Speaker 4: he did in Durham, and I mean, I mean, like
29:02
Speaker 4: like the championships.
29:04
Speaker 5: All right, so what's called Dad over there? What's what's
29:07
Speaker 5: this guy saying?
29:07
Speaker 2: Okay, So he says, so you'd still have Grayson, make
29:10
Speaker 2: the Bridges trade. To Bone's point, you still have Grayson,
29:12
Speaker 2: you still have a Neil, you still have the second
29:15
Speaker 2: unprotected twenty twenty thirty three pick. But he says, you
29:20
Speaker 2: would then trade Nas, Grant, Williams, Salon and Picks. It
29:27
Speaker 2: wouldn't quite be as much cap money that would be
29:30
Speaker 2: like forty six million, but we do have the cap
29:33
Speaker 2: money to absorb it. People are saying, why couldn't use
29:37
Speaker 2: the trade exception on Brown? Remember Keith Smith clarified that
29:41
Speaker 2: with us on Friday that you hits his salary would
29:43
Speaker 2: have to fit under the trade exception and it would not.
29:46
Speaker 2: The s bonus one wouldn't either. A lot of people
29:47
Speaker 2: are saying, could we go after Sabonis? Still you couldn't
29:50
Speaker 2: use the trade exception for it, and you can't use
29:52
Speaker 2: it for a portion of a guy's salary, which kind
29:55
Speaker 2: of sucks. Yeah, So anyway, I don't know, man, I'm
29:58
Speaker 2: torn on this.
29:59
Speaker 5: Like I would have loved Got.
30:01
Speaker 2: It would be awesome to see j Aalen Brown on
30:02
Speaker 2: this team and they we clearly could have found a
30:05
Speaker 2: way to beat that deal if we wanted to. It
30:08
Speaker 2: just feels like Jeff Peterson is kind of lying in
30:11
Speaker 2: the weeds and just waiting for the right time bone
30:14
Speaker 2: to strike with all those assets, and it just doesn't
30:16
Speaker 2: feel like he thinks the time is here yet.
30:19
Speaker 5: Mac.
30:19
Speaker 4: I'm going through roster by a roster, just trying to
30:22
Speaker 4: see where they might be able to use the trade thing.
30:26
Speaker 4: So this is look, these are these are not perfect examples,
30:30
Speaker 4: and I don't even know roster wise, But don't forget
30:33
Speaker 4: that marketing has always been out there for Utah. Where
30:36
Speaker 4: does he fit into what they're doing. He's a small
30:39
Speaker 4: forward forward. I don't know where that fits in. But
30:41
Speaker 4: he is out there in the forty million dollar range.
30:44
Speaker 4: And I will throw this out there and I know
30:45
Speaker 4: they'll be backlashed, but at forty two million dollars with
30:48
Speaker 4: that trade chip, Zion Williamson is still out there. But
30:52
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's tantalizing or not. I don't
30:55
Speaker 4: know if the threat of barbecue looms large. I don't know,
30:58
Speaker 4: but he's still out there, and he does it up numbers.
31:00
Speaker 4: But again, if you're gonna trade mellow for injury concerned,
31:04
Speaker 4: I don't think what he is, but he is a guy.
31:06
Speaker 4: That is one of those examples of probably could be
31:09
Speaker 4: had if you made it right.
31:10
Speaker 2: Oh definitely. Can you count on him to stay in shape?
31:14
Speaker 2: That's another thing too, Okay, can't count him to stay healthy.
31:16
Speaker 2: He's so tantalizing. But I understand the negatives, but it is.
31:20
Speaker 2: It is one of those one three woke out and say, oh, man,
31:22
Speaker 2: only they could get him right by body Wise, Texter says,
31:27
Speaker 2: it's just too risky. You're gonna finally make that big
31:29
Speaker 2: move on your assets. It feels very risky. Texter says,
31:33
Speaker 2: Lebron baby, Yeah. We tried that joke yesterday when we
31:36
Speaker 2: played the Ryan McGee clip about how Lebron loves Bojangles,
31:39
Speaker 2: so maybe he'll come to Charlotte, and people took it
31:42
Speaker 2: seriously and they got angry with us on the text line,
31:46
Speaker 2: you're not coming here. We were just trying to Jangles joke.
31:49
Speaker 4: Then when Lebron goes out of town, if he's here,
31:51
Speaker 4: then Fitty can watch bronni while he while he's out
31:54
Speaker 4: of town. But Tugg he helps you out.
31:56
Speaker 5: Oh man, all right, fit dog.
31:57
Speaker 2: When you're not watching my dogs or Brownie James, you're
32:01
Speaker 2: doing updates. What do you have for us, sir?
32:03
Speaker 5: It's all right. Could be a little pity, a little
32:07
Speaker 5: hometown or a big old city.
32:09

32:43
Speaker 7: Mack if we got the sin in the first hour
32:46
Speaker 7: of the show.
32:47
Speaker 3: But Caine's goaltender Freddy Anderson.
32:50
Speaker 5: Shoot, we're supposed to do it in the first hour, right,
32:52
Speaker 5: go Ahead go Ahead.
32:53
Speaker 7: Has signed a one year contract with the Edmonton Oil others.
32:57
Speaker 3: So we Shoppy told me he was good to be
33:00
Speaker 3: back next year.
33:01
Speaker 7: Was gonna be day one goaltender or not day one,
33:05
Speaker 7: but maybe could be back next year.
33:06
Speaker 3: But he will not be back. He has moved on
33:08
Speaker 3: to Edmunds.
33:09
Speaker 2: It looks like they're rolling with Bussy and cochet Koff,
33:12
Speaker 2: and which is fine by me.
33:14
Speaker 4: Man.
33:15
Speaker 2: I'm glad Freddy though, and I hate the way it
33:17
Speaker 2: played out bone but without Bussy, I'm not sure the
33:21
Speaker 2: Canes win it all. But I'm glad Freddie had that moment,
33:24
Speaker 2: was a huge part of the championship team.
33:26
Speaker 5: I'm glad he had. I hope this is probably the
33:28
Speaker 5: right move.
33:29
Speaker 4: I hope history's kind of Freddy, that they remember him,
33:31
Speaker 4: not just that Bussy was there at the end, but
33:34
Speaker 4: that Freddy got him to that point right.
33:35
Speaker 5: Hopefully, h History's kind there to on thirteen.
33:39
Speaker 4: Damn, mister mister Humac, mister Anderson, that's a very bad
33:44
Speaker 4: Mike Madiscalco.
33:45
Speaker 5: Isn't it add that to my list of bad impressions.
33:47
Speaker 5: I do both.
33:50
Speaker 4: Not to tum Mac for that one again when we
33:52
Speaker 4: come back. It's sass the audience. I have to be honest.
33:55
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is just off max Head
33:57
Speaker 4: or this came up yesterday. Where did this come from?
33:58
Speaker 5: This is big? This has big.
34:00
Speaker 4: Who should represent WFNZ in a Goalie Wars competition?
34:04
Speaker 5: We got a spot.
34:05
Speaker 2: Charlotte FC's given us a spot next week in Goalie
34:07
Speaker 2: War's Babe.
34:08
Speaker 4: This would lead maybe to me talking about my past again.
34:11
Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. It's Mac and Old
34:16
Speaker 4: Mits on Sports Radio ninety two seven.

34:52
Speaker 2: are out there listening, we appreciate we've been going crazy
34:55
Speaker 2: over the US men's national team game. We'll talk more
34:58
Speaker 2: about it in each hour, ey Clive, our nine o'clock
35:00
Speaker 2: hour of the show, College Football Talk coming up at
35:04
Speaker 2: eight o'clock, so stay tuned for that.
35:05
Speaker 5: Man.
35:06
Speaker 2: It's about go time, Bone to start talking college football on.
35:09
Speaker 4: Actual sport, like the actual like I'm craziness year, Matt,
35:13
Speaker 4: the actual team, yes.
35:14
Speaker 2: Right, not in junction junction right, not ever telling formats
35:18
Speaker 2: and all that right out.
35:19
Speaker 4: But every time we say that does something comes up.
35:21
Speaker 4: So who knows what may happen between now in the season.
35:23
Speaker 4: But it's about go time, baby. But anyway, we got presented.
35:27
Speaker 4: Colin called me yesterday, our fearless leader around here, and
35:30
Speaker 4: told me we have been presented with a opportunity with
35:34
Speaker 4: the All Star MLS All Star Game coming up Bone
35:37
Speaker 4: at the end of the month here in Charlotte. Tim
35:40
Speaker 4: Reem a member of our first eleven going ahead to
35:43
Speaker 4: head with the league Amecki's All Stars, and.
35:48
Speaker 5: They're doing a media event.
35:49
Speaker 2: Old US men's national team goalie Tony Meola is coming
35:52
Speaker 2: in for this and they're gonna do this Golalie Wars
35:55
Speaker 2: competition Bone and they're giving away spots to various local
35:59
Speaker 2: media and BFNZ has been offered a spot. Colin wants
36:04
Speaker 2: us to crowdsource this out. He wants to know who
36:08
Speaker 2: the fan choice is. He says, we are taking this seriously.
36:12
Speaker 2: He says, we want to win this. We want bragging
36:14
Speaker 2: rights for WFNZ. So this isn't ask the audience and
36:19
Speaker 2: Goalie Wars just so you know, they put the goals.
36:21
Speaker 2: They do this at All Star, the All Star of
36:25
Speaker 2: the night before the game, the Big Skills Challenge, I
36:27
Speaker 2: guess what they call it. Put the goals fairly close
36:30
Speaker 2: to each other and goalies are just kicking it straight.
36:33
Speaker 2: I thinkast she's goalie v goalie and you're saving and
36:36
Speaker 2: you're kicking.
36:36
Speaker 5: You can almost you can drop kick.
36:38
Speaker 2: You could kind of like punt, you can just put
36:40
Speaker 2: it on the ground and belt it all that stuff.
36:42
Speaker 2: So we're looking for somebody that can keep the ball
36:45
Speaker 2: out and then put the ball in the goal of
36:49
Speaker 2: the opposing goalie. So I need to know who the
36:52
Speaker 2: fans want for this one. I'm torn on this one bone.
36:57
Speaker 2: You're out of town, right, are you not. Yeah, when
36:59
Speaker 2: I was talking to your whims, you could dance back
37:03
Speaker 2: in the goal. What if you did a dance in
37:05
Speaker 2: the net? Move off the line now, but what if
37:07
Speaker 2: you did a dance and you could really get that.
37:09
Speaker 5: I have been called into duty.
37:10
Speaker 2: I have been embarrassed by many a youth soccer player
37:13
Speaker 2: on my team when I go and play what they
37:15
Speaker 2: call goalie at practice. But what about you, two guys
37:19
Speaker 2: like I don't know if you guys will be the
37:21
Speaker 2: fan choice because this is the whole station, not just
37:23
Speaker 2: our show. But either one of you guys, this could
37:26
Speaker 2: be a big opportunity. I have the pedigree of playing goalkeeper.
37:30
Speaker 2: Back in the day. However, I thought you were an
37:33
Speaker 2: outfield player. But on I thought you were like cornerkick taker.
37:35
Speaker 4: I had a run when I was eight when I
37:39
Speaker 4: was the number one goalie, and then I got moved,
37:41
Speaker 4: but yeah, I had. Now here's the thing though, here's
37:44
Speaker 4: the thing. Here's the thing with me though, why I'm
37:46
Speaker 4: going to be honest. Why it should not be me.
37:48
Speaker 4: You don't want any part of this because wanting to win,
37:52
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest. And this is I'm not even joking,
37:55
Speaker 4: not even messing around. I've had a back injury for
37:57
Speaker 4: about two months now, and I get it's not good.
38:00
Speaker 4: I don't know if I would hold up in there
38:02
Speaker 4: like it really I even vacuum in my back hurt.
38:06
Speaker 5: I love this one.
38:06
Speaker 2: So Bone gets to keep telling his soccer tales about
38:09
Speaker 2: how great he was Fitty, but he doesn't have to
38:11
Speaker 2: go out there and shown him.
38:12
Speaker 5: That's a shrewd movie.
38:13
Speaker 4: I probably need to go see the Cairo practor I'm
38:16
Speaker 4: not even like, hand to god.
38:18
Speaker 5: It's not good. So let me go to Fitty.
38:19
Speaker 2: Then, since Bone is bailing out Bone or Fitty, this
38:23
Speaker 2: could be your chance.
38:24
Speaker 5: Fitty.
38:25
Speaker 2: You were You told your story yesterday, and I mean
38:29
Speaker 2: it was sad that you had a soccer career going
38:32
Speaker 2: where you were a varsity player as a freshman and
38:36
Speaker 2: you chose to quit the team because the coach told
38:38
Speaker 2: you to run after a ball and you refuse to run.
38:41
Speaker 2: It's very sad. This could be your redemption story. Fitting
38:44
Speaker 2: and Goalie Wars next week.
38:46
Speaker 4: It could.
38:46
Speaker 7: I played goalie when I played rec league soccer in
38:50
Speaker 7: Lancaster County in eighth grade. I think there was two
38:52
Speaker 7: times I got back in there and goal never allowed
38:55
Speaker 7: a goal.
38:55
Speaker 3: Max.
38:55
Speaker 7: So I've got a save percentage of a thousand. I'm
39:00
Speaker 7: not saying I'm not up for the challenge. I just
39:04
Speaker 7: don't know if I'm best equipped to win this thing.
39:07
Speaker 3: There are two other.
39:08
Speaker 2: People, my god, modest Fitty. I have never met this
39:11
Speaker 2: man say that. There are two other people.
39:13
Speaker 7: At the station that have body parts that I think
39:16
Speaker 7: can help really keep the.
39:17
Speaker 3: Ball out of the net. You've got Flounders pouch and
39:20
Speaker 3: Bailey's ass.
39:22
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
39:23
Speaker 4: Right now, Walker's dominating on the Texa line. However, Mac,
39:26
Speaker 4: do you know who has more votes than Fiddy does
39:29
Speaker 4: right now?
39:30
Speaker 5: Who's that? My new dog Murphy? Oh my god.
39:35
Speaker 2: I mean, I partly want to see Fitty out there
39:38
Speaker 2: because I want you to have this chance at redemption.
39:41
Speaker 2: I also think it could be funny. It could produce
39:43
Speaker 2: some funny moments. Walker seems to be the most popular answer,
39:48
Speaker 2: and why not?
39:49
Speaker 5: I mean so many goals.
39:50
Speaker 2: Keeper's bone are long, right, long, limbs tall, and he
39:55
Speaker 2: is I mean, I don't even know what his waing.
39:57
Speaker 2: We to put that on the list of things to
39:59
Speaker 2: do measure Walker's wingspan.
40:00
Speaker 5: I'm very curious we forgot one on this dude could
40:03
Speaker 5: cover that whole, that whole net. Man.
40:05
Speaker 2: He might He might be our best choice. Honestly, like
40:08
Speaker 2: a lot of fans are saying.
40:09
Speaker 4: We have not mentioned the number one option that I
40:12
Speaker 4: request Fitty to be in that net. The voice of
40:16
Speaker 4: Charlotte f C William E. G. Polotic in the net.
40:19
Speaker 2: You think P Man, well, P Man might get mad
40:21
Speaker 2: if we don't pick him. I'll vote unless he has
40:23
Speaker 2: his own spot in there via Charlotte f C. I
40:25
Speaker 2: don't know, do you.
40:28
Speaker 4: One one of the great athletes and edge rushers in
40:32
Speaker 4: DC history was a DC area school.
40:35
Speaker 5: I need to see the voice in the net. I
40:37
Speaker 5: want to fitting you in for that.
40:39
Speaker 2: Yes, you want to see him call his own saves,
40:43
Speaker 2: his own goals. Willie pe, Yeah, Willie p and Plus
40:50
Speaker 2: his feelings would be hurt if we didn't pick him.
40:52
Speaker 5: Can will he p move? Though he doesn't look very mobile?
40:55
Speaker 5: Right now. I don't know, am I what does that mean?
40:58
Speaker 2: He can move him gumb but I don't know if
41:00
Speaker 2: any move every I'm not saying I am. Don't get
41:02
Speaker 2: me wrong. The only thing I move is my big
41:04
Speaker 2: old mouth. People is Jess Charmin? Still if we just yeah,
41:10
Speaker 2: what if we just like shameless? She could be representing
41:14
Speaker 2: Apple or something? Right, because it's it's all these media
41:17
Speaker 2: entities and the game is on Apple, right, so I
41:20
Speaker 2: could see them. Hey, we've got a former goalkeeper get
41:22
Speaker 2: in it. A lot of a lot of Wes. There's
41:25
Speaker 2: one athlete at the station, y'all. I'm talking college athlete.
41:28
Speaker 2: Why is Wes Bryant not in contention? Oh, he definitely is.
41:32
Speaker 2: I think I don't. I don't think that's a bad
41:34
Speaker 2: choice either. Obviously Bailey, I don't know. Bailey hates on
41:39
Speaker 2: soccer too much. I don't Know's that wrong to me?
41:42
Speaker 2: People save in the same in for a home run,
41:45
Speaker 2: hitting challenges, man, he's great at that stuff.
41:47
Speaker 4: You guys want to try not to laugh, but I
41:49
Speaker 4: tell you, is who fight for twelve thinks the station
41:51
Speaker 4: is that best athlete is shoppy.
41:54
Speaker 2: Shoppy played, go up, Shoppy minded the nets in hockey.
41:58
Speaker 2: Does that carry over or.
41:59
Speaker 5: No, he's the best athlete thought decision.
42:02
Speaker 2: Hey, I wouldn't go that far, but I feel like
42:05
Speaker 2: he's above us though, at least at this point.
42:09
Speaker 3: And you didn't see.
42:11
Speaker 7: What my body was doing when I was moving this weekend,
42:14
Speaker 7: all right, I was your body.
42:16
Speaker 3: I was loosing limber baby smoke getting votes?
42:21
Speaker 5: What about smoke? Smoke? Ludwig would use historical facts.
42:26
Speaker 2: He would recite historical facts bone while of Nascar, Well,
42:30
Speaker 2: the other goalie is getting ready to shoot and he
42:33
Speaker 2: would throw them off. That would be his strategy, I think, Matt.
42:36
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the best choice though, but
42:38
Speaker 2: I'd like to watch it me.
42:39
Speaker 4: Bob says, Fitty can't score with anybody, so he's best
42:42
Speaker 4: in than that no one scores near him.
42:45
Speaker 2: That's actually good stuff right there. Man Byron says Shoppy
42:49
Speaker 2: or Walker. This dude says, how the hell do you
42:52
Speaker 2: guys not pick the guy that actually played goalie? Shrup
42:55
Speaker 2: was a hockey goalie.
42:56
Speaker 4: Totally different sport, though it's not anywhere near the same
42:58
Speaker 4: thing he's I don't think Trummy's gonna have too many
43:01
Speaker 4: kicks and the beauties on this uh at this point.
43:03
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't. You're not padded up. The net's
43:05
Speaker 2: that much bigger. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know
43:08
Speaker 2: if it carries over as simply as as some of
43:11
Speaker 2: the Texters are acting like it does. You need so
43:14
Speaker 2: much more mobility as a soccer goal. We're getting a
43:17
Speaker 2: movement for smoking bear.
43:18
Speaker 5: Smoking, sticking up steam.
43:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, smoking that stash in that smoking that mall copstash.
43:28
Speaker 2: Bagel guy says Wes was a lineman at Wake. That's
43:31
Speaker 2: far from an athlete. Now you go get in trouble, bro,
43:34
Speaker 2: Now you gotta get in trouble with Wes.
43:36
Speaker 7: Is that because he was a linemumber because he played
43:38
Speaker 7: at wake? Came by my god, speaking of being in
43:42
Speaker 7: trouble with.
43:42
Speaker 4: West, this is also my favorite thing here. There is
43:46
Speaker 4: a lot of athletes on this text, Flide, A lot
43:49
Speaker 4: of guys out there, Matt that are supreme athletes coming
43:51
Speaker 4: after us. I'm sure they're all mac Olympians on their
43:54
Speaker 4: own right. Clearly we have the most athletic listenership out there.
43:58
Speaker 4: Tommy says he played D two goalie. I'll go win
44:01
Speaker 4: this thing for you. I mean that's tempting because I
44:04
Speaker 4: like shamelessly winning things right, And well, actually I like
44:08
Speaker 4: bragging about winning things.
44:09
Speaker 2: I don't really I'm never really a part of winning things.
44:11
Speaker 2: That's you know what I mean when we go do
44:13
Speaker 2: these competitions. But I love bragging. The thing is, don't
44:16
Speaker 2: we need a true f n Z person? Are you
44:21
Speaker 2: just trying to cheat? We hold up Selania and have
44:24
Speaker 2: a weekend at Bertie's just just prop Selenia up against
44:29
Speaker 2: the gold post man while he passes out on Coors lights.
44:33
Speaker 5: What do we think? The most popular choice is what
44:36
Speaker 5: should we talk with? Walker?
44:37
Speaker 3: It's Walker or Willie.
44:39
Speaker 5: Colin, by the.
44:39
Speaker 2: Way, said he would that he would throw his hat
44:42
Speaker 2: into the ring too.
44:44
Speaker 5: He's big too, and he played a lot of basketball.
44:47
Speaker 4: I think I would say Walker or Colin is probably
44:50
Speaker 4: a good ideas entertainment wise. I kind of want to
44:53
Speaker 4: see the womester in then will He's getting a lot
44:55
