- 1:17Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not sure I'm in a position to
- 1:19Speaker 2: criticize singing. I gotta be honest with you. We have
- 1:24Speaker 2: the ap college football Top twenty five to discuss. We
- 1:28Speaker 2: will complain about it. Who's too low, who's too high?
- 1:33Speaker 2: Where the heck are the local teams? Did the voters
- 1:36Speaker 2: know that the teams in the Carolinas were eligible? All
- 1:39Speaker 2: those things will be discussed on the show today. So
- 1:43Speaker 2: we've got to talk about that as well, and much
- 1:46Speaker 2: much more to get into. A nicky update from Dave Canalis.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Media asked about it in light of Ozzie Trapeio, left
- 1:54Speaker 2: tackle for the Bears, being activated from the pup list
- 1:58Speaker 2: with the same injury on the exact same day, So
- 2:00Speaker 2: now we're wondering how Ikey's coming along. So we've got
- 2:03Speaker 2: that going on as well. And uh, the NC State
- 2:07Speaker 2: student newspaper makes a run at Dave Doran ladies and gentlemen,
- 2:12Speaker 2: so we will talk about that as well. Here on
- 2:16Speaker 2: the Mac and Bone Show, the Bone Man's in the house,
- 2:19Speaker 2: Fit Daddy is in the house. Fitty is the only
- 2:21Speaker 2: one that is not sung on the show yet. Fit
- 2:23Speaker 2: you want to change yet?
- 2:25Speaker 1: Yeah, fitdy?
- 2:25Speaker 2: Let us know, it's been a while, been a while.
- 2:28Speaker 2: There you go, there you go, You set him up? Well, Bone,
- 2:33Speaker 2: Now I've just I know what's coming. So I just
- 2:35Speaker 2: I know, help out. I've uh, I've had a morning, Mac,
- 2:39Speaker 2: I've had myself a morning already. Yeah, it's six o two.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I've now my last hour has been calm, but my
- 2:47Speaker 2: first hour. If my apartment collplace has security cameras, there's
- 2:52Speaker 2: a chance that I'm gonna get a question today for crimes.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Let's be honest, and there's no one to blame but
- 2:58Speaker 2: myself and my neighbor for this one. Both of our
- 3:01Speaker 2: fault here. I have a bad habit lately of not
- 3:04Speaker 2: locking my car door at night, because when I'm getting
- 3:07Speaker 2: Murphy out of the back seat from the dog park
- 3:10Speaker 2: we go twice a day, I'm more trying to get
- 3:13Speaker 2: him out than thinking about locking the door and just
- 3:15Speaker 2: getting him inside. So sometimes not great. But I don't
- 3:19Speaker 2: always lock my door. Well, apparently the neighbor that has
- 3:23Speaker 2: a very very very similar car to mine this morning
- 3:27Speaker 2: was parked directly in front of my apartment, and he
- 3:30Speaker 2: also doesn't lock his doors. So this morning I come
- 3:33Speaker 2: out and I opened his car. I opened what I
- 3:36Speaker 2: thought was my car door. I throw my bag in,
- 3:39Speaker 2: I go around, I jump in the front seat, I
- 3:41Speaker 2: put my coffee down, and I realize something doesn't feel
- 3:45Speaker 2: right in this seat. I turn on the lights and
- 3:48Speaker 2: I realize, oh, this isn't my car, abandoned, ship, abandoned.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I run out and I try to act natural, but
- 3:56Speaker 2: I run almost full speed in my own car because
- 3:59Speaker 2: I'm thinking that this guy comes out here. I'm a
- 4:01Speaker 2: little terrified this guy. Anyway, I'm in trouble. I hop
- 4:04Speaker 2: in my own car. So you got out of there
- 4:06Speaker 2: without anybody seeing you? Well, then I realized, remember the
- 4:08Speaker 2: coffee that I brought to that to that car. I
- 4:10Speaker 2: forgot the coffee. Then I have to get out of
- 4:13Speaker 2: my car, abandon my car, run back again to this
- 4:16Speaker 2: guy's car, grab my coffee, run back again into my car.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Remember the bag I put in there? Forgot that as well.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I got to get in my car again. Run you
- 4:24Speaker 2: have to sleep? Yes, yes, but you know what would
- 4:27Speaker 2: be nice If this guy would have walked his doors,
- 4:30Speaker 2: this wouldn't happened. So I partly blamed this guy. I Uh,
- 4:35Speaker 2: if this guy's watching him his balcony, could you imagine
- 4:38Speaker 2: what he's seeing out there? I'll running full speed, but
- 4:39Speaker 2: I could charge you with a baseball bat. Uh what
- 4:42Speaker 2: if the is there?
- 4:43Speaker 1: Like?
- 4:43Speaker 2: Do you all have surveillance that the people at your
- 4:47Speaker 2: complex can watch, because they could they could be watching
- 4:49Speaker 2: this and just dying laughing later today. And I thought,
- 4:53Speaker 2: if I just run by the way, there's nobody out there,
- 4:55Speaker 2: it wasn't a huge deal. You're good, no harm done.
- 4:58Speaker 2: But I think me running speed probably makes it a
- 5:01Speaker 2: little bit. I don't I don't know why. I just
- 5:03Speaker 2: thought I was almost running, like remember how he runs
- 5:06Speaker 2: in Semi Pro mag Will Ferrell's character. I was almost
- 5:09Speaker 2: running like that, like I had to like go as
- 5:11Speaker 2: hard as I could to my own car. Oh, you
- 5:12Speaker 2: didn't want to get busted, man, you were feeling guilty.
- 5:15Speaker 2: I mean, after all, you were in someone else's vehicle
- 5:17Speaker 2: essentially three times. I mean i'd probably be trucking too. Yeah. Anyway,
- 5:22Speaker 2: so you could also blame Murphy for this. If he
- 5:25Speaker 2: didn't have to go to the dog park as much
- 5:26Speaker 2: as he does, he wouldn't have this issue. Well no, actually, Fitty,
- 5:31Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if you've thought about this.
- 5:34Speaker 2: It comes back to bone. If Bone was in shape
- 5:37Speaker 2: enough just to walk Murphy to the dog park instead
- 5:39Speaker 2: of have to drive him to the dog park, this
- 5:42Speaker 2: would not happen. No, here's the problem though. The dog
- 5:45Speaker 2: park is a ways away. Now here's the honest truth.
- 5:48Speaker 2: It's very very hot on his paws and he won't
- 5:52Speaker 2: walk that far. He gets in the grass. So to
- 5:55Speaker 2: save him that pain. Ah, that's so nice of you. Bone,
- 5:58Speaker 2: has nothing to do with saving yourself from something.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I want.
- 6:00Speaker 2: I'm walking, I want to heat. I want to be
- 6:03Speaker 2: out there when it's one hundred and nine. Oh man,
- 6:05Speaker 2: all right, anyway, let's get into that. Sounds like the
- 6:08Speaker 2: Panthers preseason game on Saturday, the way you executed trying
- 6:12Speaker 2: to get in to the.
- 6:13Speaker 1: What happened when I got it on the road itself
- 6:15Speaker 1: this morning? Anyway? Go ahead, man, that's neither hear nor
- 6:17Speaker 1: that was going eighty five and gave you a finger?
- 6:19Speaker 1: What happened?
- 6:20Speaker 2: A little bit of a We got a little bit
- 6:22Speaker 2: of a Yeah, I getting mad at me this morning,
- 6:23Speaker 2: a little bit. You have a very you have a
- 6:25Speaker 2: very active like five o'clock out. I mean, nothing happens
- 6:28Speaker 2: to you the rest of the day, but I feel
- 6:30Speaker 2: like before six am you have a very active, interesting life,
- 6:34Speaker 2: and then after that it tails off.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Pitty, what's your most active time of the day.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Well, probably lunch, dinner, probably ten thirty, eleven o'clock, late
- 6:45Speaker 2: night snack.
- 6:46Speaker 4: Probably when I'm probably when i'm I'm my most active.
- 6:51Speaker 2: All right, I don't even want to know, because I'm
- 6:53Speaker 2: with you at ten thirty or eleven o'clock.
- 6:55Speaker 1: All right, can we sports it up? Kids? Is there
- 6:57Speaker 1: any chance we could possibly sports it now? All right?
- 7:01Speaker 2: So we'll talk about Darren Waller. Will let you hear
- 7:02Speaker 2: what Canal said. What Waller said about being a part
- 7:06Speaker 2: of this team. Canal's continues to say it's about challenging
- 7:09Speaker 2: that tight end room, and it feels like every time
- 7:12Speaker 2: he says it, he means it's about challenging JT. Sanders
- 7:16Speaker 2: and seeing if he rises to the challenge or not.
- 7:19Speaker 2: We also, we also know that Waller is not They're
- 7:25Speaker 2: not just throwing him into it. He's on the side
- 7:26Speaker 2: yesterday sweating his butt off. What a freaking hot day
- 7:29Speaker 2: it was yesterday, and working on the side, and then Wednesday,
- 7:35Speaker 2: because of course they don't practice today, they're traveling to
- 7:37Speaker 2: Jacksonville for tomorrow's joint practice. It doesn't sound like Waller
- 7:41Speaker 2: will do any team stuff. He's still trying to learn
- 7:43Speaker 2: the offense, so it sounds like just kind of individual stuff.
- 7:46Speaker 2: In the meantime, we did get bone some bad or
- 7:51Speaker 2: they got some bad injury news down there in New Orleans.
- 7:54Speaker 2: We talked about their rookie wide receiver yesterday, Jordan Tyson,
- 7:58Speaker 2: because Kellen Moore indicated his hamstring injury. You know this
- 8:03Speaker 2: could linger into the regular season. Well, now reports are
- 8:06Speaker 2: coming out saying this looks like it's a two multiple
- 8:10Speaker 2: month injury. Right around a two month injury with the hamstring,
- 8:14Speaker 2: and you know how those hamstrings are you come back.
- 8:17Speaker 2: There's no guarantee. You know, you better sit out long
- 8:20Speaker 2: enough because if not, that thing will come back. He's
- 8:22Speaker 2: got a history of hamstring problems. So again, everybody's starting
- 8:29Speaker 2: to deal with his injury. Crap now, man, the Golicks
- 8:32Speaker 2: were doing a thing on him before we came on
- 8:35Speaker 2: the area audio piece w in their show yesterday. To
- 8:39Speaker 2: what you're saying, Jordan Tyson was thought to be one
- 8:43Speaker 2: of the best players in the country last year entering
- 8:45Speaker 2: the season, and then the hamstrings took a toll. The
- 8:49Speaker 2: Saints kind of took a little bit of a gamble
- 8:51Speaker 2: in the first round on the injury, and it pops
- 8:54Speaker 2: up right away. It seems like Mac if he's out
- 8:57Speaker 2: for two months. We don't have New Orleans until November fifteenth,
- 9:01Speaker 2: so maybe he's back by then. But much like we
- 9:03Speaker 2: said when we thought Braslo was gonna be out for
- 9:05Speaker 2: a while, a rookie catching up the speed, when will
- 9:09Speaker 2: he be the Jordan Tyson they anticipated that might be
- 9:13Speaker 2: well passed the first Panther game. Yeah, and you know,
- 9:16Speaker 2: does it cost them? I've heard me to Kimes and
- 9:18Speaker 2: many other national media tell me how explosive and amazing
- 9:21Speaker 2: that offense is going to be because Tyler Shuck is
- 9:24Speaker 2: the new Joe Montana. I don't know if you've heard that,
- 9:27Speaker 2: plus bone you throw in the hn move at running back,
- 9:31Speaker 2: and the Jordan Tyson draft pick. So I've been hearing
- 9:35Speaker 2: how amazing their offense is going to be. Well, if
- 9:38Speaker 2: it's you know, if their offense ain't quite that amazing,
- 9:40Speaker 2: does it cost them some games? Early in the season,
- 9:43Speaker 2: we also see the Bears with another injury they did.
- 9:46Speaker 2: They are getting Ozzi Trapeo back as we try to
- 9:48Speaker 2: figure out what kind of medical marvel is this man,
- 9:53Speaker 2: because he's got the same injury from the same day
- 9:55Speaker 2: as Icky. But we also find out that one of
- 9:59Speaker 2: their two head Monster, running back the Bruiser, Kyle Manongai
- 10:03Speaker 2: is hurt and it sounds like that's going to be
- 10:05Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. So we'll see, you know, we'll
- 10:09Speaker 2: see how that applies to week one. But everybody's getting hurt.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Man Manungay and Luther Burden now are injured during this
- 10:17Speaker 2: time period, and it's not saying they're out for Week one,
- 10:21Speaker 2: but they're a lead up to that. A lot of
- 10:23Speaker 2: the talk is going to be about those guys. Of course,
- 10:25Speaker 2: they already lost. They're a big free agents signing on defense,
- 10:28Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant. So when the when camp started, it was
- 10:32Speaker 2: all about the Panther injuries. But we said, look, the
- 10:34Speaker 2: Panthers are practicing first. They've had injuries before anyone else
- 10:38Speaker 2: because they were out there first. But you see, the
- 10:41Speaker 2: league has definitely caught up to them injury wise. It's
- 10:43Speaker 2: a battle of attrition, man, battle of attrition, and we'll
- 10:48Speaker 2: give you the Panther injuries. Panthers got some good injury
- 10:50Speaker 2: news yesterday, so we'll talk about that. We've got to
- 10:53Speaker 2: mention bone that Sportico did evaluations for all the NFL franchises.
- 11:03Speaker 2: They put eight billion dollar value on your Carolina Panthers.
- 11:09Speaker 2: That means bone that David's ever if he were to
- 11:14Speaker 2: sell the team now, which I have a gut feeling
- 11:16Speaker 2: he will not, he would make close to a six
- 11:19Speaker 2: million dollar profit six billion dollar or six billion I'm sorry,
- 11:23Speaker 2: six billion dollar profit. He bought it for two mili
- 11:26Speaker 2: plus and it's now valued at eight or two bill
- 11:29Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Just work with me here,
- 11:31Speaker 2: just in your mind insert what I'm trying to say.
- 11:35Speaker 2: It was two bill and change it's.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Now valued at eight.
- 11:40Speaker 2: I'm not Mac a huge financial guy, although we are
- 11:43Speaker 2: in a banking city, so a lot of people could
- 11:46Speaker 2: explain to that. Explain is better than I could. How
- 11:49Speaker 2: good Mac is a plus six billion on an investment.
- 11:51Speaker 2: That's got to be pretty good. Right, That's decent. That's decent.
- 11:55Speaker 2: If I mean I make mag If I make a
- 11:57Speaker 2: bed on say on Caesars on the on the uh
- 12:01Speaker 2: Caesars betting app, and I make a profit of like
- 12:04Speaker 2: eight dollars, I feel accomplished. Hell if I can just
- 12:06Speaker 2: double my seven cents, I would love that. Mind six
- 12:10Speaker 2: billion with you.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I mean my award.
- 12:12Speaker 2: It's the complete opposite of buying a car. You buy
- 12:15Speaker 2: a pro sports franchise and you are just going to
- 12:18Speaker 2: you're all you're going You're going to just see your
- 12:23Speaker 2: investment grow and grow and grow astronomically. It just it
- 12:27Speaker 2: never fails, man, There's no doubt about it. So all right,
- 12:31Speaker 2: let's go to UH which which leads to a lot
- 12:34Speaker 2: of skeptical fans if they don't think their owner cares
- 12:36Speaker 2: about winning, because any owner not saying temper, I think
- 12:39Speaker 2: Temper desperately cares about winning. But like, it's very easy
- 12:42Speaker 2: to just it's a money making venture. If you've got
- 12:44Speaker 2: that kind of money, doesn't even matter what you do
- 12:46Speaker 2: on the field, on the court, whatever. Yeah, AP Coney
- 12:51Speaker 2: and people that want to invest with you, and then
- 12:52Speaker 2: you're good to go. Right, Hey, that's all takes. All takes.
- 12:55Speaker 2: You got money and you got people with you.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Got money.
- 12:58Speaker 2: The AP poll is eult Ohio State is the number
- 13:02Speaker 2: one team according to the media members. Oregon two, so
- 13:08Speaker 2: top two teams Big ten. Then you have Georgia Notre
- 13:11Speaker 2: Dame four, Texas five, Indiana six. Indiana did get the
- 13:16Speaker 2: third most number one votes Ohio State at forty number ones.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Oregon got fourteen and then Indiana got eight. But a
- 13:24Speaker 2: lot of people are disrespecting Indiana because even with those
- 13:28Speaker 2: eight first picks or you know, votes, they are still
- 13:32Speaker 2: number six. Miami is at seven, Texas A and M A.
- 13:36Speaker 2: This is I love how the back half or the
- 13:39Speaker 2: back portion of the top ten is when the polers
- 13:41Speaker 2: are like, all right, let me just run a streak
- 13:43Speaker 2: with about five SEC teams.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Here.
- 13:47Speaker 2: You've got A and M eight, O, Miss nine, Oklahoma ten,
- 13:51Speaker 2: LSU eleven. The other ACC teams are SMU at nineteen,
- 13:56Speaker 2: Louisville at twenty four, and Little Clemson does not make
- 14:02Speaker 2: it in this pole. They are the first team out
- 14:05Speaker 2: in terms of others receiving go so they're essentially twenty
- 14:07Speaker 2: sixth Yeah, and South Carolina's down there in the towards
- 14:10Speaker 2: the top of the thirties, a Field thirty two, thirty two.
- 14:14Speaker 2: You've got the Gators down there. Who I think. I
- 14:17Speaker 2: think there's a couple teams there in the thirties that
- 14:21Speaker 2: we just mentioned that could be ranked. We'll have a
- 14:23Speaker 2: lot of discussionlater on the show about who should be
- 14:26Speaker 2: ranked at the bottom of this pole. Of course, at
- 14:28Speaker 2: the top, who's been disrespected by that? I mean mac
- 14:31Speaker 2: the two teams that played for the national title last year.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Who you know the quarterback is the question for Indiana.
- 14:37Speaker 2: I get that, but we've seen Indiana a couple of
- 14:40Speaker 2: years ago and what they were in year one under Signetti.
- 14:43Speaker 2: They made some magic. Indiana being six Miami seven I
- 14:48Speaker 2: thought was a joke. I think those teams, especially Miami,
- 14:51Speaker 2: will be better than they were a year ago.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Indiana.
- 14:54Speaker 2: I don't know if there's going to be much drop off,
- 14:56Speaker 2: but what this pole is going to do mac with
- 14:58Speaker 2: Indiana six, that's gonna give Hurt Signetti the ammo to
- 15:02Speaker 2: motivate it. That is true. You say quarterback is the question.
- 15:06Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it's the question from the voters
- 15:09Speaker 2: from Mendoza to Hoover. But who was Mendoza last year
- 15:12Speaker 2: at this time? Oh, he's a cow transfer like like
- 15:16Speaker 2: just like, but what did the national media think? Do
- 15:18Speaker 2: they think he's gonna be a Heisman winner?
- 15:20Speaker 1: No?
- 15:21Speaker 2: I would argue that Hoover's more accomplishing college football than
- 15:23Speaker 2: Mendoza was a year ago at this time. Like now,
- 15:27Speaker 2: I I'm just going to tell you I thought Mendoza
- 15:29Speaker 2: was an upgrade over over Rourke and I thought he
- 15:32Speaker 2: was going to be prett damn good. I didn't think
- 15:33Speaker 2: Heisman good. But at some point people are going to
- 15:36Speaker 2: realize that Kurt Signetti makes quarterbacks better that the supporting
- 15:40Speaker 2: cast they've been able to assemble with all the money
- 15:43Speaker 2: they have to spend bone it makes quarterbacks better.
- 15:46Speaker 1: So I just, I.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Mean, I think they I think they could repeat. So
- 15:52Speaker 2: I'm with you. Being at number six feels disrespectful to me.
- 15:55Speaker 2: I don't no doubt about'll think that the teams that
- 15:58Speaker 2: will end up the three best teams are in the
- 16:00Speaker 2: top three. I'm not saying those other teams aren't going
- 16:03Speaker 2: to have hell of a season in Ohio State, Oregon,
- 16:05Speaker 2: and Georgia, But I think Indiana, Miami, Notre Dame and
- 16:08Speaker 2: being the three three at the end, three of the
- 16:09Speaker 2: four at the end. I mean, Hoover has seventy one
- 16:12Speaker 2: career touchdown passes, all of them against UNC last I mean,
- 16:16Speaker 2: and I get the thirteen interceptions, but does anybody think
- 16:19Speaker 2: with a running game they're gonna have it? Indiana, the
- 16:22Speaker 2: offensive line they have, they got maybe the best left
- 16:25Speaker 2: tackle in the sport, maybe the best wide receivers Becker,
- 16:29Speaker 2: and then they add Mars from Michigan State. Like I
- 16:33Speaker 2: just it's it's crazy to me, but you gotta work
- 16:37Speaker 2: sec teams in. You can't possibly have a top five
- 16:41Speaker 2: without putting Georgia and Texas in their Texas. Prove it
- 16:44Speaker 2: to me, y'all. I've heard this might be the most
- 16:47Speaker 2: talented Texas team ever.
- 16:49Speaker 1: I'm aware.
- 16:49Speaker 2: I understand Camp Coleman, Hollywood, smothers, and all the transfers,
- 16:53Speaker 2: But how about you prove.
- 16:54Speaker 1: It to us.
- 16:56Speaker 2: I'm tired of hear it. I'm tired of hearing the
- 16:58Speaker 2: Texas hype every year. I'm tired of hearing about the
- 17:01Speaker 2: amount of talent you have. Yeah, you're extremely talented every year.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Prove it to us. Actually hold up in the trenches
- 17:06Speaker 2: against Georgia one time, like so, I just Texas. I
- 17:10Speaker 2: got to see it to believe it. But we'll talk
- 17:13Speaker 2: about it more at seven o'clock.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Bone. I don't want to.
- 17:17Speaker 2: I don't want to use all ourmo of ripping teams
- 17:19Speaker 2: for being overrated. Like we know everything. I want to
- 17:22Speaker 2: say some of that. Let me give a little teaser
- 17:23Speaker 2: root for that topic.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Though.
- 17:24Speaker 2: There's one team that's in the top ten that I
- 17:28Speaker 2: saw many people yesterday say get out of there. There's
- 17:32Speaker 2: one team that the consensus says that they're not believed
- 17:35Speaker 2: in as a top ten team. Seven o'clock we'll explain
- 17:38Speaker 2: who that is. Yeah, I definitely, I definitely have a
- 17:40Speaker 2: team in there that I just might be the same.
- 17:42Speaker 2: But guess what, we won't tell you that until it
- 17:44Speaker 2: ain't am it ain't happening. Let's see here, Bone man,
- 17:49Speaker 2: you've got some feedback on your morning.
- 17:53Speaker 1: And what happened this morning.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Son of Swede would like you to get doggy shoes
- 17:58Speaker 2: for for Murphy. So then y'all could just, you know,
- 18:02Speaker 2: stroll to the dog park by foot. Yes, that's what
- 18:06Speaker 2: son of Smith, the lovely terror has waited in that.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Let Mac know that Murphy has trouble walking back and
- 18:12Speaker 2: he gets tired. It's not on me, right, you think
- 18:16Speaker 2: Murphy has that? Look at that, my love, my love
- 18:18Speaker 2: stepping up for her man there about that, I'm here
- 18:21Speaker 2: to tell you I've seen Bone in the heats. His
- 18:23Speaker 2: tongue would be dragging more than the dogs. If he
- 18:26Speaker 2: had to walk to and from that dog bark, it'd
- 18:29Speaker 2: be gravel on that man's tongue.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Now, let's see werotected. I'm protecting the health of a
- 18:33Speaker 1: young pop.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Uh. Let's see Fiddy's former love sense. I think he
- 18:38Speaker 2: quit that job. He found it was too difficult. This
- 18:41Speaker 2: is the second This is the second helper him and
- 18:44Speaker 2: Lara have both retired and bailed out on poor Fiddy.
- 18:47Speaker 2: But uh, he is texting in saying something similar to
- 18:50Speaker 2: you hopping in the wrong car in your parking lot
- 18:56Speaker 2: has happened to him. Uh, he said, I used to
- 18:58Speaker 2: work as a manager in his store at Concord Mills.
- 19:01Speaker 2: His car was in the shop, so his wife was
- 19:03Speaker 2: picking him up after the mall close. He walked out
- 19:06Speaker 2: and cars like something I would do, walk down and
- 19:09Speaker 2: saw a car exactly like his with a lady in
- 19:12Speaker 2: the driver's seat that looked just like his wife. It
- 19:15Speaker 2: was dark and rainy. I walked up the car over
- 19:18Speaker 2: to pass your door, and then realized not my car,
- 19:20Speaker 2: nor my wife. She was picking up her kid from work.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I apologized profusely, just send. My wife pulled up and
- 19:26Speaker 2: she understood my mistake and was very nice.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Oh.
- 19:29Speaker 2: I thought the story would end with your wife thinking
- 19:31Speaker 2: that you were in a car with some other woman.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Oh my, oh my God.
- 19:35Speaker 2: For his first unsavory reasons, Gard all right, so there
- 19:38Speaker 2: you go, Bow, that story is very similar. Similar coworker
- 19:42Speaker 2: Mac Big Game. Bernie Bowls from WBT told me this
- 19:45Speaker 2: morning that numerous times he has the same car as
- 19:49Speaker 2: the TV news vehicles here in the building. He's gotten
- 19:53Speaker 2: into TV cars. He's opened the TV doors multiple times,
- 19:56Speaker 2: and not his own car. So Bernie's almost gotten into
- 19:59Speaker 2: the TV news. Oh yeah, his Becuz car looks like
- 20:01Speaker 2: the whole fleet. It doesn't. Actually, All right, Messy, you
- 20:06Speaker 2: got company, baby, I'm not the only dummy out there.
- 20:09Speaker 2: And by the way, I need to point this out.
- 20:10Speaker 2: People are calling me an idiot. I wasn't born this way,
- 20:13Speaker 2: all right. This is not my parents fault. Over time,
- 20:15Speaker 2: I've gotten dumbers, all right. I don't know why, man,
- 20:17Speaker 2: Why would I be dumber overtime?
- 20:19Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 20:19Speaker 2: He's gonna blame me and Finny. What I'm just saying, radios,
- 20:24Speaker 2: bless you. Radio is taking my brains out. It's that
- 20:26Speaker 2: early morning wakeup man, twins Meat. The Braves last night
- 20:30Speaker 2: four to two as well. Want to at least mention
- 20:33Speaker 2: good job by the Braves pitching staff minus the first inning.
- 20:35Speaker 2: It was for nothing and it was put nobody out
- 20:37Speaker 2: in the first inning, and the Brave gave up nothing else.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Just couldn't score runs last night against the Twins. When
- 20:42Speaker 2: we come back here on the Mac and Bon Joe,
- 20:44Speaker 2: Dave Canalis with an icky injury update. Darren Waller also
- 20:49Speaker 2: talks about joining the Panthers, and the Panthers get some
- 20:53Speaker 2: big fellows back at practice. Bring in the Beef Sports
- 20:56Speaker 2: Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 21:15Speaker 4: Ike He's doing great. He had another great day on
- 21:17Speaker 4: the field. He's going in right now to get his
- 21:19Speaker 4: lift in. He's progressing really well. Again, every case is different.
- 21:23Speaker 4: We just got to take it with the information that
- 21:25Speaker 4: we have. Consult our experts, consult the surgeons, all those things,
- 21:29Speaker 4: get reimaging and make sure we feel confident before we
- 21:31Speaker 4: put him back out there.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Are I don't know.
- 21:36Speaker 4: I wouldn't I wouldn't say that necessarily, but I do
- 21:39Speaker 4: know he's progressing really well.
- 21:41Speaker 2: There you go, Dave Kanalis being asked the question that
- 21:45Speaker 2: you know the local media had to ask about Ikey
- 21:48Speaker 2: Ikuanu and his status. He's been working on the sidebone
- 21:51Speaker 2: all through training camp, fitting and I saw him bust
- 21:54Speaker 2: a dance move last week in the middle of practice,
- 21:57Speaker 2: but the Bears left hacking Ikey with it. But the
- 22:01Speaker 2: Bears left tackle oz At Yourpio suffered the same injury
- 22:05Speaker 2: on the same day in the playoffs, and he's back
- 22:07Speaker 2: off the pup list, so we kind of want to know.
- 22:10Speaker 2: It does sound like he's coming along there. It was
- 22:13Speaker 2: interesting Canalis was asked there y'all heard it by Joe person,
- 22:18Speaker 2: so can we have you ruled him out for week one?
- 22:21Speaker 2: And he said I wouldn't go that far. So anyway,
- 22:24Speaker 2: interesting how he'll be used right going forward because you're
- 22:28Speaker 2: gonna have a lot of tackle options. You have Walker,
- 22:32Speaker 2: you have Freeling, you have Moten down the line, you
- 22:34Speaker 2: have Ikey, while the guards we like Lewis and Hunt.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Certainly there's not a lot of depth there. So I
- 22:40Speaker 2: do wonder Ikey's role. Is he the utility swing guy?
- 22:46Speaker 2: If there's a tackle needs a spot at the tackle,
- 22:49Speaker 2: does he fill in? Can he be a Can he
- 22:51Speaker 2: be a guard? Because there are a lot of tackles
- 22:53Speaker 2: on this roster, but the guards behind the main guys
- 22:57Speaker 2: leave a lot to be designed.
- 22:58Speaker 1: That's it.
- 22:58Speaker 2: We were telling you brought that up yet today that
- 23:00Speaker 2: is I've kind of intrigued by that. Like, if they
- 23:03Speaker 2: get Moten back, I would guess they move Freeling to
- 23:07Speaker 2: the left side. You know, I guess we'll see how
- 23:10Speaker 2: Freeling's playing it and Walker's playing and how long Moten's out.
- 23:14Speaker 2: But yeah, if you were to have Freeling on the
- 23:16Speaker 2: left side, Moting on the right side, Walker's your backup tackle.
- 23:20Speaker 2: If Robert Hunt got hurt, knock on Wood, I want
- 23:23Speaker 2: it to happen. I'm not trying to jinx Themand like,
- 23:25Speaker 2: would you consider slide Nikki? And so there's a lot
- 23:28Speaker 2: of questions we got. There's two tackles that are coming
- 23:30Speaker 2: back at some point that will change the math for
- 23:34Speaker 2: the offensive line. Math doesn't look great right now depth wise,
- 23:37Speaker 2: but those boys can change the math whenever the heck
- 23:39Speaker 2: they get back. And eventually is it just one of
- 23:41Speaker 2: those things where you wik at it as we just
- 23:42Speaker 2: got to get our five best lineman out there and
- 23:44Speaker 2: put them wherever they can go, right, maybe that happens.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Who knows. Yeah, but we know that.
- 23:49Speaker 2: We know that an offensive line staying healthy for a
- 23:51Speaker 2: whole year is I mean what We've already got issues.
- 23:54Speaker 1: But yeah, we know it ain't even.
- 23:55Speaker 2: The regular season the same five How rare is it
- 23:58Speaker 2: where five guys start they happens?
- 24:00Speaker 1: But it is certainly rare.
- 24:02Speaker 2: The we got we got our guards back yesterday though
- 24:05Speaker 2: at practice. D Lou and Robert Hunt both practicing, and
- 24:10Speaker 2: I feel like it. I feel like both those guys
- 24:15Speaker 2: and Derek Brown, if it was a regular season game,
- 24:17Speaker 2: probably would have played like Yeah. That's kind of my
- 24:21Speaker 2: gut feeling is that it's because because both guards practiced
- 24:24Speaker 2: a little bit last week, it's just they didn't want to,
- 24:27Speaker 2: you know, force it. They wanted to be cautious about it.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Derek Brown was back practicing yesterday to to that point.
- 24:33Speaker 2: So you get the feeling they're just taking precaution with
- 24:36Speaker 2: these guys, which I'm fine with it. And it's a
- 24:38Speaker 2: longer camp as well, so some of these big fellows
- 24:41Speaker 2: they may be just sort of you know, they may
- 24:44Speaker 2: be sore, but they may be more cautious with them
- 24:48Speaker 2: through the duration of a longer camp. But I would argue, Buhen,
- 24:50Speaker 2: we're about to embark on the most important ten days
- 24:53Speaker 2: or so of this game. I agree, because you're going
- 24:56Speaker 2: to have the joint practice on Wednesday in Jacksonville, You're
- 25:00Speaker 2: gonna play Jacksonville on Friday night. Canal has said yesterday
- 25:05Speaker 2: starters are playing a heavy dosage in the joint practice
- 25:08Speaker 2: and they should play some on Friday night. Then you
- 25:11Speaker 2: have the joint practice against Houston, and then after that
- 25:14Speaker 2: I would expect probably starters.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Sat out in the Houston game.
- 25:17Speaker 2: So I'm looking at it probably named ten days like this,
- 25:20Speaker 2: next eight days with two joint practices, sandwiching the game
- 25:24Speaker 2: feels like the most important work of camp for the starters. No,
- 25:28Speaker 2: I don't disagree with that at all. Magott also may
- 25:30Speaker 2: be a very important ten hours for our legendary Texter,
- 25:33Speaker 2: Granny Pat. What kind of conversation, Mac, are you having
- 25:36Speaker 2: right now with Granny? Because we were worried about her
- 25:39Speaker 2: last week. She was in the hospital, she was on
- 25:41Speaker 2: a ventilator. Granny came back yesterday, rip roaring, going after
- 25:45Speaker 2: the Panthers, but her health update right now, Mac, is
- 25:48Speaker 2: what is going on here with Granny Patt this morning?
- 25:50Speaker 2: She's usually gonna wait this early, but right now she's
- 25:53Speaker 2: I guess the health stuff has there away. She's so
- 25:55Speaker 2: ready to get out of the hospital. She's doing so
- 25:57Speaker 2: much better, but apparently Granny. I don't know if it's
- 26:03Speaker 2: gonna embarrass your granny, I don't. We just want to point,
- 26:06Speaker 2: We just want to update the listeners about your situation.
- 26:09Speaker 2: I don't think she gets embarrassed. Oh, you're probably right,
- 26:11Speaker 2: that's probably right.
- 26:12Speaker 1: That features been removed.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Granny needs to poop, apparently, and then she could leave
- 26:19Speaker 2: the hospital.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Somehow. She asked for me and Fitny to help.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Phinny has suggested it was it Fitny that suggested it.
- 26:25Speaker 2: No Bone suggested eating some Mexican food. So anyway, Granny
- 26:31Speaker 2: is on the cusp of leaving the hospital. We're so
- 26:33Speaker 2: happy for there's just one thing. Well, there's there's one thing,
- 26:37Speaker 2: and it's a number two. Apparently, Fiddy, we need a
- 26:40Speaker 2: sound or Granny watch, Granny turn watch.
- 26:45Speaker 1: I didn't need, I didn't need. I didn't need to
- 26:47Speaker 1: go there? Did I clean it up? I didn't need
- 26:49Speaker 1: to put it. I didn't need to put it. He
- 26:52Speaker 1: must up to eat it?
- 26:52Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna can you bet on this back?
- 26:54Speaker 2: I'm thinking Granny seven to eight am. We got a
- 26:58Speaker 2: pull here he poop, pull Granny for when it happens.
- 27:03Speaker 2: I'm telling you what other radio show Bone is with
- 27:06Speaker 2: chronicle a situation like this with one of their listeners.
- 27:09Speaker 2: That's how close we are with our listeners. Like Granny
- 27:11Speaker 2: bat what Brown Mama's advice was, oh jesu, what a
- 27:14Speaker 2: name for this.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Granny eats them broccoli. It's nature's push brown, nature's push
- 27:20Speaker 1: for him. That's a clever way to talk about that.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Doesn't never heard of that in my life? What of
- 27:24Speaker 2: what phrasing? All right, let's move on from granny's situ. Well,
- 27:28Speaker 2: everybody's trying to help bone. This isaid listeners coming together.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Buzzy wants to send her some Taco bell lettuce I
- 27:35Speaker 2: p A. Nate says, get some wings from D. D.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Beckers. Might be a little early for that.
- 27:38Speaker 4: We could call our friendship ked bar Tall sent us
- 27:41Speaker 4: some Indian food because they put him in the hospital.
- 27:43Speaker 2: There you go, Okay, Well, we've got a lot of
- 27:45Speaker 2: options out there. Granny, that's our bed, Granny, that is
- 27:49Speaker 2: our band. But we're we're rooting for you, and we're
- 27:51Speaker 2: happy that you are about ready hopefully to leave the hospital.
- 27:56Speaker 2: What's the most look at the text line text about
- 27:58Speaker 2: it's the most texted. Well, you're the text line with
- 28:01Speaker 2: all we got to ask. The audience just broke out
- 28:03Speaker 2: and I didn't even have to ask. Everybody Prune juice
- 28:06Speaker 2: being suggested. Y'all are amazing the combination of wanting to
- 28:12Speaker 2: help Granny pat and wanting to talk about this subject
- 28:16Speaker 2: that's brought y'all out of the woodwork right now.
- 28:19Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, someone make her a dry brisket. Came up.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Panther Steve aka Panther Weenie says, Mac, you are sick
- 28:27Speaker 2: this early in the morning, poor Granny.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Oh man, love you.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Granny also is the one that advertised she did. She
- 28:35Speaker 2: did ask Mac for help. She knew what she was doing.
- 28:37Speaker 2: You think she wanted this out there. She wanted this
- 28:39Speaker 2: out there. Well, she wants something else out there too,
- 28:43Speaker 2: so she can go.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Home as well.
- 28:44Speaker 2: My god, all right, she did? She ring the bell
- 28:47Speaker 2: when it's over? Oh man, all right. Anyway, I don't
- 28:52Speaker 2: know how we segue back. Someone said, watch the Panther
- 28:55Speaker 2: game again, Grannie'll get out.
- 28:56Speaker 1: I don't make you sick, no doubt about it. Didn't, Charlotte.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Just keep listening to WFNZ. It's bound to happen.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Oh well, played, sir, well played, get it. I do
- 29:07Speaker 2: want to mention bone that. Liam Cohen, Jaguars head coach,
- 29:11Speaker 2: said he is trending towards playing starters a little bit.
- 29:14Speaker 2: In the preseason game on Friday night. Kind of sounds
- 29:17Speaker 2: like he's thinking, he well, but I guess he wants
- 29:20Speaker 2: to see what happens at the joint practice tomorrow nine
- 29:22Speaker 2: to fifteen. Start, by the way, for that joint practice
- 29:26Speaker 2: tomorrow in Jacksonville. We do need to talk about Darren Waller.
- 29:30Speaker 2: He was officially signed yesterday and he was out there
- 29:33Speaker 2: working on the side to get ready. Sounds like maybe
- 29:37Speaker 2: only individual drills in Jacksonville, nothing in terms of team drills,
- 29:41Speaker 2: but he's their bone and he's gonna get his chance
- 29:44Speaker 2: to compete. And yesterday he talked about when he was
- 29:49Speaker 2: first contacted with the Panthers and kind of how that whole,
- 29:54Speaker 2: this whole thing came to be heard.
- 29:55Speaker 3: From Panther's Wednesday morning when my agent called me, I
- 29:58Speaker 3: was just gonna wake up go train and got a
- 30:01Speaker 3: call and I was like waiting on anybody that offered
- 30:05Speaker 3: me a job. I was gonna play, you know, Like,
- 30:07Speaker 3: so I'm grateful the Panthers offered me the opportunity to
- 30:10Speaker 3: come play, and yeah, I'm excited to be here.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Ye mean, you were productive last year. I know you
- 30:14Speaker 1: missed some time, but were you a little surprised that
- 30:17Speaker 1: you had to wait as long as you did.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Not really. I know people take into account where I'm
- 30:24Speaker 3: at age wise durability concerns rightfully, so so I understand
- 30:30Speaker 3: that those are things people take into too account when
- 30:31Speaker 3: they're mitigating risk. But yeah, I was just allowing the
- 30:35Speaker 3: process to be what it was. Sometimes, you know, it
- 30:37Speaker 3: can be uh like, damn, I'm doing all this work
- 30:40Speaker 3: since the day after the Super Bowl. You know, like
- 30:43Speaker 3: when is it gonna happen? But you know, uncertain. He's
- 30:45Speaker 3: kind of the name of the game. I'm new to
- 30:48Speaker 3: this free agent situation, but it is what it was,
- 30:51Speaker 3: and I'm grateful that it happened in the time.
- 30:53Speaker 1: And that did.
- 30:53Speaker 2: There you go, And he did talk about how much
- 30:55Speaker 2: better shape he's in bone than last year at this time.
- 30:59Speaker 2: He says, I started working out the day after the
- 31:02Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Have taken one week off for a vacation
- 31:04Speaker 2: to Iceland, and that's it. I've worked out NonStop, whereas
- 31:08Speaker 2: last year he just decided in June, hey, I want
- 31:11Speaker 2: to play football again.
- 31:12Speaker 1: You know, after one year of retirement. It was good.
- 31:14Speaker 1: So we're getting in. Yeah, he was when he was
- 31:17Speaker 1: out there.
- 31:17Speaker 2: The only worry I have for him is the durability
- 31:20Speaker 2: missed eight games with three different injuries last year, but
- 31:22Speaker 2: that's it. I was thinking about him yesterday when I
- 31:25Speaker 2: was reading about him and hearing him and Brentson Buckner
- 31:28Speaker 2: is the one that called me last week and said,
- 31:30Speaker 2: what a matchup nightmare he is.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Mack.
- 31:32Speaker 2: I know he and Brasel are completely different players, but
- 31:35Speaker 2: when we talked about Brasel and what he was going
- 31:37Speaker 2: to provide his offense, it was something different. It was
- 31:41Speaker 2: a downfield threat that even if he wasn't the main
- 31:45Speaker 2: character on a play, so to speak, he would definitely
- 31:49Speaker 2: change the way you defend the Panthers.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I think Darren Waller is an example of that as well.
- 31:54Speaker 2: If Darren Waller even doesn't it has two catches in
- 31:56Speaker 2: a game or three catches, and it's not a huge games.
- 32:00Speaker 2: It's a wone you have to account for. And that's
- 32:02Speaker 2: not the case for all these tight ends on this roster.
- 32:05Speaker 2: So much like Brazl, I'm excited at the different looks
- 32:09Speaker 2: that Waller can give. Whether or not he even makes
- 32:11Speaker 2: the player or not, you have to account for him
- 32:14Speaker 2: in that athletic ability. On the defensive side of that,
- 32:17Speaker 2: He's just a mismatch, right, He's just a mismatch. You
- 32:20Speaker 2: put a linebacker on me, child, please really, I'm gonna
- 32:23Speaker 2: go down the scene, run right past you. You try
- 32:26Speaker 2: to put like what if you put him in his slot,
- 32:27Speaker 2: You try to put a little tiny slot corner on him.
- 32:30Speaker 1: And this dude's six six plus.
- 32:32Speaker 2: So yeah, there's there is some very intriguing possibilities with him,
- 32:39Speaker 2: no doubt about it, and he and Sanders are going
- 32:42Speaker 2: to be watched closely here moving forward. Also want to
- 32:46Speaker 2: let you hear from Dave Canalis. He talked about what
- 32:49Speaker 2: his expectations are for Darren Waller, past.
- 32:54Speaker 4: Threat, what he's been doing, Versatility. You can play him
- 32:57Speaker 4: like a tight end, you can play him like a receiver.
- 32:59Speaker 3: He's huge.
- 33:00Speaker 4: I mean just you know, standing with him out there,
- 33:02Speaker 4: he's all a six six and a half, he's lean,
- 33:05Speaker 4: he can run all those things. It's a unique element
- 33:08Speaker 4: you know that he brings to whatever offense he's been
- 33:10Speaker 4: a part of. And so the goal is to just
- 33:13Speaker 4: throw him into that room, challenge that room, and see
- 33:15Speaker 4: see which guys want to elevate and create that role
- 33:18Speaker 4: for Bryce.
- 33:20Speaker 2: A great I'm sorry, I'm back to speaking.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Get back to the text line.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Dave, I'm very excited and you you so eloquently described
- 33:28Speaker 2: what Darren Waller, can.
- 33:30Speaker 1: You steer us back? Now? This is Dave da was
- 33:32Speaker 1: talking what are you having?
- 33:33Speaker 2: He said it, Well, I can't wait to see him
- 33:35Speaker 2: get on the field. But this text line is on fire,
- 33:39Speaker 2: including Granny pat Does she know? Is she listening? Does
- 33:43Speaker 2: she know we're talking about her? So she doesn't she
- 33:45Speaker 2: doesn't care about any of this.
- 33:46Speaker 1: But all that advice she got back, which one does
- 33:49Speaker 1: she take? The heart?
- 33:49Speaker 2: Thank you, she said, thanks bone good advice on the
- 33:53Speaker 2: Mexican food.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Granny. Do you know how much other good advice there's
- 33:56Speaker 1: been here from people? Granty door dash order.
- 34:01Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to chronicle this as the show progresses.
- 34:04Speaker 2: That we're in too deep now, right, Yeah, Like there's
- 34:06Speaker 2: no way we could just move on with our day.
- 34:08Speaker 2: We there's gonna have to be Granny updates. Can we
- 34:11Speaker 2: clean it up?
- 34:12Speaker 5: Though?
- 34:12Speaker 2: Like Granny's movement updates, movement, Granny's product movement.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Something here, clean up? We have been leaving.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Breakfast out there, wait till the kids wake up though
- 34:22Speaker 2: they want to hear the word poop when they wake
- 34:23Speaker 2: up and ride around with their parents.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Who does it all? Right?
- 34:26Speaker 2: We come back here on the Mac and Bone radio program.
- 34:29Speaker 2: More college stuff. The NC State Student Newspaper makes a
- 34:34Speaker 2: run at Dave Dorin, Greg McElroy talks cleftionce QB Battle,
- 34:38Speaker 2: and Todd McShay still a huge believer in a vocal star.
- 34:43Speaker 2: We'll explain sports Radio ninety seven.
- 35:02Speaker 5: We know that Reynolds has a bigger arm, but the
- 35:04Speaker 5: Zena's understanding can manufacture the same arm strength with his
- 35:09Speaker 5: brain by getting rid of the ball a half second quicker.
- 35:12Speaker 5: Well Saturday, however, the scrimmage has really settled nothing as
- 35:16Speaker 5: at this point right, both guys through touchdowns, both guys
- 35:19Speaker 5: ran it well. There was a pick six thrown to
- 35:22Speaker 5: a linebacker and Sweeney would not tell anybody who threw it,
- 35:26Speaker 5: And he asked if it was going to change his
- 35:29Speaker 5: timeline and he just said, you know, it is the
- 35:31Speaker 5: next step in the process. But the most telling detail
- 35:35Speaker 5: of camp wasn't necessarily a throw. On day one, Christopher
- 35:39Speaker 5: Bazena was front and center between the offense and the
- 35:42Speaker 5: defense leading the warm up jumping jacks, and that spot
- 35:47Speaker 5: historically has been reserved for the team leader. And there
- 35:52Speaker 5: is some intentionality in everything that Clemson does.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Read that as you will. Oh Clemson, there you go.
- 36:02Speaker 2: That is Greg McElroy. And there's always college Football podcast
- 36:04Speaker 2: Greg McElroy. By the way, we're gonna talk more at
- 36:07Speaker 2: the top of the hour about rankings and what sticks
- 36:10Speaker 2: out to us and who's too high, two's too low.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Why some of these teams in the Carolinas aren't higher,
- 36:18Speaker 2: aren't at least close, you know, some of them aren't
- 36:20Speaker 2: clemsones on in the top twenty five. South Carolina and
- 36:23Speaker 2: State aren't, you know, aren't as close as maybe they
- 36:26Speaker 2: could be. So anyway, we'll get into all that stuff.
- 36:28Speaker 2: But Greg McElroy on his top twenty five has Clemson
- 36:32Speaker 2: in the teens. I don't know what number, but I
- 36:33Speaker 2: heard him say this on this podcast that he has
- 36:36Speaker 2: them in the teens.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Very interesting.
- 36:38Speaker 2: That's the highest I've heard anybody have them, I think
- 36:40Speaker 2: seriously since a year ago at this time, when we
- 36:42Speaker 2: all had them up there in the top three or four.
- 36:44Speaker 2: And that's the thing people say, Oh boom boom, boo boo.
- 36:48Speaker 2: I had him in the National title game a year ago,
- 36:50Speaker 2: and they embarrassed me and man, me, look like, I
- 36:52Speaker 2: don't know what I'm talking about. So you know what
- 36:54Speaker 2: you get punished that this year you had Penn State.
- 36:57Speaker 2: You both get punished this year. I know offence back,
- 36:59Speaker 2: they've got to earn it. Penn State's in there. I said,
- 37:02Speaker 2: we're gonna have a Mackie celebration. Penn stated Clemson, Drew
- 37:05Speaker 2: Holler and Klay Klemnick will play for the national title.
- 37:09Speaker 1: How'd that go?
- 37:10Speaker 2: Wanh wanh wanh wanh I'm I would be shocked if
- 37:14Speaker 2: if freshman Tate Reynolds were to start in Baton Rouge.
- 37:19Speaker 2: I'd be absolutely floored. You hear McElroy talk about it
- 37:23Speaker 2: there that hey, it's considered still this open competition. But
- 37:26Speaker 2: you also heard him talk about Vizen is the one
- 37:28Speaker 2: leading them through the warm ups, and that signifies he's
- 37:31Speaker 2: the leader of the team. He's a veteran. He's got
- 37:34Speaker 2: a three hundred and seventeen yard game with three touchdowns
- 37:36Speaker 2: under his belt against SMU, although they were a bad
- 37:39Speaker 2: pass defense last year. I just I would be shock
- 37:42Speaker 2: bone if they want to send a freshman into Baton Rouge.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's not possible Tate Reynolds doesn't play
- 37:48Speaker 2: at some point. I mean I kind of hope not.
- 37:50Speaker 2: That'd be a bad sign for Clemson. I kind of
- 37:52Speaker 2: want Vizena to take this thing and run with it.
- 37:54Speaker 2: But like I just they can talk competition. I would
- 37:57Speaker 2: be floored if it was Tate Reynolds.
- 38:00Speaker 3: One.
- 38:00Speaker 2: If there's any environment Mac you don't want to send
- 38:02Speaker 2: a freshman to, it's that death Valley at night in
- 38:04Speaker 2: your first game, big Ton, There's no and there's no
- 38:07Speaker 2: way there's And that could also rattle confidence for a
- 38:10Speaker 2: young quarterback as well. I don't think. I don't think
- 38:12Speaker 2: it makes a lot of sense for Tay Reynolds. If
- 38:14Speaker 2: he appears, that's one thing, But to actually start the
- 38:17Speaker 2: game and play as the main quarterback, that doesn't make
- 38:19Speaker 2: a lot of sense to me. Yeah, I don't think.
- 38:21Speaker 2: I don't think Davo. I don't think Dabo would do that.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Think Davos too smart for that, I don't think. So
- 38:25Speaker 2: look at Bone, call him Dabo smart man. That is
- 38:28Speaker 2: all that is awful sweet of you, Bone. Yes, I'm
- 38:33Speaker 2: very professional. If you haven't noticed Plea's get to the
- 38:38Speaker 2: game couch stole, okay, you're just buying your time trying
- 38:41Speaker 2: to get to the South. I do want to shout
- 38:43Speaker 2: out Lake Norman's stunt quarterback Jaden Kraft. He's a four
- 38:47Speaker 2: star recruit. He committed to Tennessee yesterday, so I want
- 38:50Speaker 2: to shout him out.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Local kid. We got so many local kids around here
- 38:53Speaker 1: that can ball.
- 38:53Speaker 2: But he was in the news yesterday picked Tennessee over Oregon, LSU, Michigan, Lord,
- 39:00Speaker 2: and Mississippi. What do you think about this story Bone
- 39:03Speaker 2: where they have this new and improved Heisman website where
- 39:06Speaker 2: fans can now vote on the Heisman, and the fans
- 39:10Speaker 2: votes will actually be pulled together to create a first, second,
- 39:16Speaker 2: and third place like a ballot for the Heisman. So
- 39:19Speaker 2: the first ballot this year for the Heisman will be
- 39:21Speaker 2: the fans. I can't imagine one ballot is going to
- 39:25Speaker 2: flip the the whole race. I don't think so. When
- 39:28Speaker 2: will they do this for the playoff rankings? A fan committee?
- 39:32Speaker 2: Now we're talking imagine fans out of How great would
- 39:35Speaker 2: it be for why footage of a fans committee where
- 39:39Speaker 2: half of the voters are fine bomb callers in the
- 39:43Speaker 2: other half are big ten fans.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Where's the acc representation? I'm not there. I'm saying you
- 39:48Speaker 1: got Notre Dame. Where's the group of six representations? Walk there?
- 39:53Speaker 2: A group of sex, saying the fighting going on between
- 39:55Speaker 2: the SEC and the big TENN and there would be
- 39:57Speaker 2: mostly legends fighting some guy named Buckeye Dave. I watch it,
- 40:03Speaker 2: oh Man, all right, you will. I'm just throw jokes
- 40:07Speaker 2: you wanted. Uh oh. By the way, speaking of the ACC,
- 40:11Speaker 2: Miami dismissed Cambaugh. He was a he's a wide receiver
- 40:16Speaker 2: transfer from West Virginia. He had thirty five catches for
- 40:18Speaker 2: five hundred and forty one yards last year, so it's
- 40:21Speaker 2: not like he's chopped liver. The program is not saying why,
- 40:24Speaker 2: but he has been dismissed from the team, So one
- 40:27Speaker 2: less weapon for Darien Mensa. I have a feeling he
- 40:29Speaker 2: will still be okay. Yeah, if he was that good
- 40:32Speaker 2: at Duke no offense, Bone, they are the A SEC champs.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Of a feeling is gonna be okay with that talent
- 40:37Speaker 2: around him at Miami. He just you know, he changed
- 40:40Speaker 2: his name, right, You need to start calling him by
- 40:42Speaker 2: the name he wants to be called. What's that, Benedict Arnold.
- 40:47Speaker 2: He's gonna have Arnold back of his jersey. Now, okay,
- 40:51Speaker 2: So you wanted South Carolina stuff? Oh, thank you, Bone,
- 40:54Speaker 2: This is we told you last week that Jordan Reid
- 40:58Speaker 2: ESPN NFL Draft Guy did a list of sixteen players
- 41:02Speaker 2: he thinks have a legit chance to be the number
- 41:05Speaker 2: one pick in the draft next year, and one was
- 41:07Speaker 2: Dylan Steward of the Game Cox and the other was
- 41:10Speaker 2: Leonora's Sellers of the Game Cox. Well, yes on his
- 41:14Speaker 2: recent podcast or no, it was on Craney Company, Let
- 41:16Speaker 2: me get that straight. It was on the Craney Company
- 41:19Speaker 2: shown Crane and Cone Show, let me get it even straighter,
- 41:22Speaker 2: The Crane and Cone Show where Todd McShay told everybody
- 41:28Speaker 2: that he thinks Sellers is about ready to have a
- 41:30Speaker 2: bounce back season.
- 41:33Speaker 6: It was very clear between the lack of protection, inconsistency
- 41:36Speaker 6: wide receiver, and then an apparent disconnect in system what
- 41:42Speaker 6: we're doing offensively versus what I want maybe maybe I
- 41:46Speaker 6: want to be doing or maybe what my I'm best
- 41:48Speaker 6: suited to do. That was that was apparent to me.
- 41:52Speaker 6: And so now you put them in a system that's
- 41:53Speaker 6: been proven like averaging around fifty points per game and
- 41:57Speaker 6: kind of getting the ball out and I can utilize
- 42:00Speaker 6: this running ability. But I'm gonna I know where to
- 42:03Speaker 6: go with my eyes quicker. Things are going to be
- 42:05Speaker 6: like more tempoed and let's go.
- 42:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:07Speaker 6: I think all of that combined is going to lead
- 42:10Speaker 6: to a huge year for the Lenoris. I got news
- 42:13Speaker 6: for people like he might be the most physically gifted
- 42:17Speaker 6: quarterback in this ridiculously.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Talented I don't think that's nuts.
- 42:22Speaker 6: And depending on who's drafting number one overall and how
- 42:25Speaker 6: things go the next five months for the Lenora sellers like,
- 42:28Speaker 6: I'm not ruling out the possibilities that Sellers is the
- 42:31Speaker 6: number one overall.
- 42:33Speaker 2: Man, I'm sweating. I'm sorting right now. You and I
- 42:36Speaker 2: have both sweated. I did said I got.
- 42:38Speaker 1: Into our car this morning.
- 42:39Speaker 2: You and I have both been saying it. We expect
- 42:43Speaker 2: a bounce back with Kendall Brile's there, with an offensive
- 42:45Speaker 2: line beefed up through the transfer receiving, it's more receiving
- 42:50Speaker 2: although there's injuries, but more receiving depth. I have more
- 42:54Speaker 2: options in the pass game than they've had recently. Tons
- 42:56Speaker 2: of people way smarter than us are saying it too.
- 42:59Speaker 1: Man.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Yes, I'd be very surprised if he does not bounce back,
- 43:02Speaker 2: and if Briles doesn't use him better. By the way,
- 43:05Speaker 2: the lack of running last year like it seemed like
- 43:09Speaker 2: it seemed like most of the two years ago, Rocket
- 43:11Speaker 2: Sanders was a major part of why they got better.
- 43:14Speaker 1: As a team.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't run the ball, they got to run
- 43:17Speaker 2: it better, but I'm talking about lear Like. It seemed
- 43:20Speaker 2: like last year most of the running was him running
- 43:23Speaker 2: for his life. Like him literally running around trying to
- 43:26Speaker 2: make something happen, with the whole defense running after him.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Where are the does like, give me more design runs?
- 43:31Speaker 2: Let's run the zone read with him more? You know?
- 43:34Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 43:34Speaker 2: I felt like last year they were almost working on
- 43:36Speaker 2: his pro stock a little bit as a passer rather
- 43:40Speaker 2: than what they needed to do overall. And that could
- 43:43Speaker 2: have been a Mike Schule problem last year. And now
- 43:45Speaker 2: he's he's hit the road jack big time. All right,
- 43:48Speaker 2: So we I teased this earlier. Bone have to get
- 43:52Speaker 2: the name right Herere Presley Cox is a student at
- 43:55Speaker 2: NC State and he has made a run at Dave
- 43:59Speaker 2: Don and Bone in The Technician, that is the NC
- 44:02Speaker 2: State student newspaper. Uh, the column is the column is?
- 44:08Speaker 2: I know you ain't laughing about anybody's football fitting, sir.
- 44:11Speaker 2: You might want to keep your chuckles to yourself, sir.
- 44:14Speaker 1: The newspaper the Technicians all right, everybody settled down here.
- 44:23Speaker 2: The column headline is don't let the door and hit
- 44:27Speaker 2: you on the way out, and he makes a run
- 44:30Speaker 2: of Dave Dorn with talking points that I got to
- 44:32Speaker 2: be honest, Bone, I've seen on the text line and
- 44:34Speaker 2: you've seen on the message board and pack pride over
- 44:37Speaker 2: the years. Uh. He says, take away the non conference wins,
- 44:40Speaker 2: and the reality is undeniable. He talks about the sub
- 44:43Speaker 2: five hundred record and conference play four games under five
- 44:46Speaker 2: hundred conference play, zero ten wins seasons unless you try
- 44:50Speaker 2: to fibot and that forfeit against UCLA and the COVID
- 44:53Speaker 2: years in the bowl game. Try to count that, but
- 44:55Speaker 2: you can't count that zero ACC championship game appearances, sub
- 45:00Speaker 2: five hundred record in bowls, And for some reason, he
- 45:02Speaker 2: doesn't even mention eight and twenty nine against ranked teams.
- 45:05Speaker 1: He didn't even throw that one in there.
- 45:07Speaker 2: What do you think about this, because it does feel
- 45:10Speaker 2: like last year there was a whole reporting going on that,
- 45:14Speaker 2: you know, people in the nose seem to be saying
- 45:16Speaker 2: he might retire or whatever. It seems like since last year,
- 45:20Speaker 2: the way they finished last year, it seems like everybody's
- 45:23Speaker 2: kind of backed off the door and watch oh Presley
- 45:26Speaker 2: trying to fire it back up.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Feels like odd timing.
- 45:29Speaker 2: While the NC State hype grows and people realize, oh,
- 45:32Speaker 2: their schedule is doable. We've heard were seen some columns
- 45:35Speaker 2: where they've even said, are they a sneaky playoff team? Potentially?
- 45:40Speaker 2: So while the outside is hyping up the pack the
- 45:45Speaker 2: call came from the inside, back from the student paper
- 45:47Speaker 2: where right before the season this happens. Where way to
- 45:51Speaker 2: hype up your fan base, by the way, student paper,
- 45:53Speaker 2: way to get him going there? Why is this happening
- 45:56Speaker 2: right now? If they go in luster Virginia hor they
- 45:58Speaker 2: got off to a rough start, that would make more sense.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Right now, it feels like it's the opposite of what
- 46:03Speaker 2: we've heard about the thoughts of the season for the Packer.
- 46:06Speaker 2: I feel like this this is a young wolf packer
- 46:10Speaker 2: that has just that has that Presley Cox, that has
- 46:14Speaker 2: that negative NC State mentality already even though he's young.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Because he addresses the hype in there and he basically says,
- 46:24Speaker 2: we have seen this cycle before. They're hyped up and
- 46:28Speaker 2: then the season comes and the same crap happens. So
- 46:32Speaker 2: he had read that's why he's saying it.
- 46:34Speaker 1: He is.
- 46:34Speaker 2: Basically, I gotta be honest, Bone, wolf packer's on the
- 46:38Speaker 2: text line have said the same thing. Not all of y'all,
- 46:41Speaker 2: but a handful of ace was saying it yesterday. He
- 46:44Speaker 2: said to lose to Virginia because that's what state does.
- 46:46Speaker 2: So anyway, Dave Dorn gonna see this kid at a
- 46:49Speaker 2: press conference, Bone, he gonn take a solo cup and
- 46:52Speaker 2: he's gonna dump it out on Presley Cox's head. I
- 46:54Speaker 2: have a feeling at some point. I mean, if Dave
- 46:57Speaker 2: Dorn got that man at Steve Smith that one time,
- 47:00Speaker 2: how bad is he gonna get into wolf Pack students.
- 47:02Speaker 1: This is gonna get ugly.
- 47:03Speaker 2: Speaking of crap happening, Granny got twelve minutes for me
- 47:06Speaker 2: to win some money here, So what's let's get Let's
- 47:10Speaker 2: move that ball, Granny, Let's move that ball down the
- 47:12Speaker 2: field a little bit. All right, let's not stall out here?
- 47:14Speaker 1: All right?
- 47:15Speaker 2: Back when we come back, who or what was the
- 47:17Speaker 2: biggest issue in the loss on set? Oh no, wait,
- 47:19Speaker 2: that's Monday. You need to get the Tuesday. Hold on there,
- 47:22Speaker 2: that's Monday.
- 47:23Speaker 1: So he got the wrong car again. We're back.
- 47:26Speaker 2: Hey, the ap pole was out and we react, and
- 47:30Speaker 2: where were the local teams being disrespected? Who's overrated, who's underrated?
- 47:34Speaker 2: In more full ap pole reaction next, So it's Sports
