  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ back and bone
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: with you. So not only is b if you're looking
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: at the Falcons and who they're paying money to bone,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Not only did they just give Bijon the three years,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: sixty six point seventy five million dollar contract, highest paid
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: running back in the game. It's worth up to with
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: incentive seventy five million. But the Drake London deal was
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: four years, one hundred and forty one million. Remember Kyle Pitts,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: they all gotten paid this Offseason's true. Pitt's got three
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: years fifty four million. Am I the only Panther fan
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that is like, go ahead and pay those weapons. I'm
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: not saying that they're not, you know, great weapons, although
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Pitts is inconsistent, but go ahead and pay. They've always
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: had skill position guys. Is their quarterback play gonna be
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: any gun you know? Or are they gonna end up
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: going searching for another one here soon? Defensively they've added pieces,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: but how good they're gonna be on defense? What about
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the offensive line? Like I just I don't feel too
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: threatened by the fact they're inking these guys personally.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: At some point Walker and Pierce will come up at
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the same time, also, if they if they're as good
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: as we think they can be. Although Pierce has his
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: own stuff going on there, but they are they allowed
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to pay him eventually down the line. So yeah, go ahead,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: go ahead and pay all the fast dudes and all
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you want to all the offensive players. To me, it's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the same. It's it's different people making Falcons decisions, but
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it's the same type of decisions.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: They always have the weapons. Go ahead and use all
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that cap money on your weapons. So that is how
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling. And you're in the basement this year, Falcons, Adam, Sorry,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you're in the damn basement, all right? Next up, maybe
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you right now, Bone, I'd a dang
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: near shed a tear. And now I don't know if
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: this is accurate. We'll find out in the second. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a textor named be Dog texted us and said that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Adam gold Goldie was being a homer on yesterday's show
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that we hear last night, We hear a show nighttime
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: here on WFNZ at seven o'clock. He says, I've never
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: heard him speak more highly of the Panthers. And I'm
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: sitting here Bone trying to fight back tears. Can we
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: get Adam Gold being an absolute Panther homer this year
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: at the very least? Can we get him being a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: very positive Panther man.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: He's on the ten win board.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: He is on the ten win board over here, Adam
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Gold ninety nine to nine to fan in Riley. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like I said, weeknights here, seven o'clock on WFNZ, Goldie,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: are you saying nice things about our cats?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Baby? What's going on?
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm encouraged. I mean, I'll tell you what
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I really like. I like the way that Dave Canalis
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: has come around on Bryce Young. He is talking the
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: way he is discussing Bryce Young that like the game
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: has slowed down for him, which is what we always
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: you know here with athletes, when the game slows down
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: and you process things so fast that it makes the
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: game slower for you. I mean, that's the way Canalis
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: is talking. And I always said when they drafted Bryce
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Young that if it were close in terms of ability,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: then c. J. Straud would have been the pick because
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: of his his physical measurables. But it's clear that there
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: was something about Bryce Young that led not just the Panthers,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: but about seventy percent of the league would have taken
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Bryce Young number one straft. So there's something about Bryce
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Young as a quarterback that separated him from somebody who
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: looked like he was right out of central casting.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: When it comes to Bryce Young's next contract, which Brad
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Tillis was answering questions about yesterday, and they're sort of
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: still waiting to see what the upside is long term
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of Bryce. Where what do you think Bryce ultimately ends
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: up getting in terms of a deal.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: It all depends on how he performed. You know, it's funny.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I'm going to break it down this way. It depends
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: on how he performs in the first halves of games.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Like we've seen Bryce at his best in you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter drives late game situations over times. I mean,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: he's been great in those situations, but they haven't let
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: him really do anything in the first half. It's just
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: been basically, get us to the fourth quarter and we'll
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: see if we can win it. I think you guys
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: have probably seen the number. I mean, the Panthers won
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: eight games last year in the regular season, but they
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: only took offensive snaps with the lead about ten percent
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: of the time, which is insane that you could win
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: eight games.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Like fourth or fifth Lewis in the league goalie for
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a division champion.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: It's insane.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: I meansion division champion is doing a little heavy lifting there.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: But still, I mean, it's not like they were four
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: they had four wins. They had eight wins, and that
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: to me, is a function of a lot of things.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit of cautious play calling by the
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: head coach. It's trying to get us.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: To the fourth quarter with a chance. But if you've
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: just looked at him in you know, not even just
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, but how about the last half of
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, there's one of the better quarterback for
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: the sport. So but I want to see that in
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: the first half. I want to see Carolina play with
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: the lead more, be more aggressive down the field through
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: the passing game. Doesn't mean you forget the running game.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: They're never going to do that. That's not Dave Canalis's
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: history anyway. He's a run he's a you know, he's
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: always valued the run game. But they have to be
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: more aggressive early, play with the.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Lead more they do.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: By the way, Goldie, you did kind of drop a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: little your panther positivity there when you said I was
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: doing heavy lifting with division champs. I never said it
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was a good I never said it was a good division, Goldie,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but they were indeed, And I never said we walked
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: in the front door to get there. We clearly snuck
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in the back door when Tampa was Tampa was at
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the fridge by on getting a beer, and we's.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Not getting the back door, got the trophy. There's a
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: there's a text theory.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Now that Goldie has helped the Canes win a cup,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: now he's focused on the Panthers a little bit.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, let's focus. Let's make it happen.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Goldie, you apparently are good luck baby, Oh my goodness,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: what did you What do you think, Goldie of the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of the fifth year eligibility madness? The judge in Colorado
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: on Friday night saying, Hey, everybody that was in that
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: class of twenty twenty two in all sports that you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: would have you know, been in their fifth year this year,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Well now they are eligible. They did issue the clarification,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: though that complicates things a little bit on Sunday where
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it's like, hey, this doesn't change any of the portal
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: rules or any of the eligibility rules or the revenue
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: share cap or any of that stuff. So it does
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: maybe it's a little more restrictive than we first thought,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But what do you think about this? And to Bone's point,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: like does anything like does anything here hold up in court?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Like the NC double A is going to appeal, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna have players who are told, well, you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: didn't enter the transfer portal quick enough, so you're not
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to go to a different school. Like
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: what what do we have more court cases from here?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: What do you think happens?
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Do you do you remember Kansas football like in the
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: eighties and nineties when they were they would routinely go
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: one and eleven.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, terrible.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: They're they're way better than the NC Double A is
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: in court. Here's the first of all, when when the
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: five year eligibility for five years was announced by the
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: NC Double A, I applauded that that's the first and
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: maybe only good thing the NC Double A is actually done,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: including the age limit. But I did say at the
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: time how they are excluding the current class is idiotic
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: to me, and it will come back to bite them.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: So I'm not surprised these players are eligible. I'm also
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean couldn't be couldn't be appealed? I
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: guess it. Well, it will be appealed. Could they win
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the appeal? You do?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: You never know.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I don't think they will. And I also think that
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: the players will sue and get have granted a little
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: bit more leniency with where they can go, but there's
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: plenty of spots that need players. If there's no spots,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: and I think it will probably be a case by
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: case basis. If the if the school that you're attached
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: to doesn't have a room for you, uh, then you'll
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: be allowed that you should be allowed to leave. I mean,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: this is an n C double A mistake, and it
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: was clear that this was going to be a mistake.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: But then again, the n C Double A makes mistakes
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: every single day.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: How how long till a guy say in college basketball
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that less school early for the pros? How long till
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: a mac? How long until a guy comes back and says,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: can I get one more year? A guy from like
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: a decade ago? How long until a guy says I've
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: got one year to go?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Can they come back and think it for a Rodney
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Dangerfield back to school moment?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my gosh, only for swimming and diving.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Let's talk on the field for a moment here. Let's
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: get crazy and talk about these football teams in the
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: state of North Carolina this year. What team do you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: think ends up with the most wins and how much
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: of a chance do you think of ECU being that team.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Let's take NC State.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, there you go, Goldie.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. Back. I like the wolf back.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: The schedule is the schedule sets up well for them?
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if I mean the first five weeks. I
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: mean if they're four and one after the first five weeks,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and I'm not saying they will be, but if they're
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: four and one after the first five weeks, then ten
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: wins is in play. But it's not going to be easy,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: you know, at Virginia to start the season. At Vanderbilt,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: here's the thing. They might have a top five quarterback
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: in the country in CJ. Bailey. And if you have
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: a quarterback like that, then you're gonna win a lot
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: of games. There's no position in any sport that impacts
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: winning more than quarterback does. And if Bailey takes another
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: step from where he was a year ago, MC's gonna
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: win a bunch of football games because that schedule is
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: not daunting.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the combination of the of having CJ. Bailey
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: back for a third year there and the schedule, that's it, man,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: They've got there's a chance to have a special season
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: at NC State.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: By the way, did y'all see where Cam Newton?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not acting like Cam Newton as a college
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: football analysis Kirk Kurbstreet, y'all, but Cam did quarterback rankings
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: had CJ. Bailey number four in the country. Oh wow,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: how about that?
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: My man Mike Felder, who does a lot of work
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: for serious as them, he thinks that Bailey could end
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: up being the best quarterback in the country at the
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: end of and.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: That's coming from a Carolina guy, Felder. How about that?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you I know that Miami hast Miami's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: got a lot of guys and Kevin Jennings at SMU,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of guys that may get in the way.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: But if you're putting a bet down for CJ. Bailey
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: as ACC Player of the Year, might not be a
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: bad idea. Under the radar guy there for.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: That, not at all. It's probably gonna end up being
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: one of the guys from Miami. Whether it's Tony or
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Fletcher or Mensa. But yeah, if you're looking for somebody
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: down the board, I think CJ. Bailey is a great
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: shout quarterback at Cal. Whatever is three letters are can't
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: pronounce his name, He's another guy.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: J Jennings. J.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Jennings from SMU may put up some monster numbers this
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: year too, Yeah, no.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Question about it. And their schedule is I think Louisville's
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: got the better schedule than SMU. But if you look
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: at cal schedule, I mean there's I'm not saying that
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of easy games, but if Cal is good,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: and I think Cal might end up being good, they
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: could go seven to zero and be a top fifteen
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: team by the time. I think it's Notre Dame they
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: play before they take their first loss, or maybe it's Miami.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: But Cal's got a favorable schedule too.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so much of it with these un with this,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: with these giant conferences.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: You know this.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody's a fan knows it comes down to your schedule.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm definitely excited about about watching NC State this year.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Who is, who would you go next? Best ACC team
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in the triangle of those next three duke you'd go
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: over with what about what you don't? Okay, well, why
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: don't you?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I argue with you. I asked you the question.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: You like that bonus progress by me? So you say
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Duke over Wake and I didn't think you'd say Carolina.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Why Duke.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I think that's the coaching staff that knows what they're doing. Yeah,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: I mean I think they. I think they're faster, stronger, bigger.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: The only question is will the quarterback play hold it back?
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, they've had last year's quarterback play. The thing is,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Darian Mensa was great last year, but there were games
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: where he sucked and it like the game at Tulane
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: and he was a mess and their defense didn't play
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: well in that game either. He wasn't good enough at Yukon.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: But it's still, you know, top fifteen quarterback play around
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: the country, and it's gonna drop off this year, so
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Duke's gonna have to But they could end up with
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: the same record as they had a year ago before
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: the Bowl game.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: No, they won nine games and Murphy wasn't great two
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: years ago. Yeah, I mean, honestly, he wasn't the kind.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: That's why they fired Malik Murphy. They told him to go.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: They could upgrade. But yeah, and Miam became Costs. Not
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a bad bet. Manny Diaz is overachieved. They're a duke.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It feels like dickerd overachieved last year. But we'll see
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: what happens this year.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: At wake. Goldie, you are the man.
