Transcript
- 0:23Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. So sure enough, Phidias touting our
- 0:28Speaker 1: guy BP from the HB as a potential Panther pep
- 0:34Speaker 1: talk guy to try to mix it up from Weatherman Mark,
- 0:38Speaker 1: try to get some good vibes going, maybe get a
- 0:40Speaker 1: win going. He is texting in and said, I'm here
- 0:43Speaker 1: and ready boys. And I love how, I love how
- 0:45Speaker 1: he wants this spot bone. He went out there. I
- 0:48Speaker 1: thought Finney just happened to hear this guy on a
- 0:50Speaker 1: call or something. Finney scouting. This dude sent in, clipped
- 0:54Speaker 1: his own call from the post game show and sent
- 0:57Speaker 1: it to us. Almost like a resume tape, almost like
- 1:00Speaker 1: a broadcaster trying to get a job.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:03Speaker 1: He is pretty passionate. It's post-Bears game call, man.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Does he go pep talk or the roundtable.
- 1:11Speaker 3: I wonder?
- 1:11Speaker 2: I wonder if he goes into the roundtable. We're looking
- 1:13Speaker 2: for roundtable guys as well.
- 1:14Speaker 1: But we need a screamer for the pep talk. He's
- 1:16Speaker 1: a definite screamer.
- 1:17Speaker 2: That's true.
- 1:17Speaker 1: We've got to go scream, too. It's tough. We're the coaches.
- 1:20Speaker 1: We have to figure out how to use our great
- 1:22Speaker 1: Panther fan talent. What roles do you guys fit best?
- 1:25Speaker 1: It's a tough gig, man.
- 1:27Speaker 2: While you were talking, my algorithm here, there's a Twitter
- 1:29Speaker 2: feed called That Guy Rocked NFL Edition, where they put
- 1:33Speaker 2: out a new player every day with rock music of
- 1:35Speaker 2: the past with highlights. And today's is... Mike Tolbert. It's
- 1:40Speaker 2: all Mike Tolbert highlights, all dancing. You talk about one
- 1:44Speaker 2: of the most beloved and most entertaining Panther players of
- 1:46Speaker 2: all time, his dancing. I'm watching him right now. Let's
- 1:49Speaker 2: never forget how fun that guy was, just as an
- 1:52Speaker 2: aside here as I'm watching this. Hell yeah, Toldozer, baby.
- 1:55Speaker 2: All right, let's... He could help the run game.
- 1:58Speaker 1: He could help. I'm not sure he has too many
- 2:00Speaker 1: snaps in him at this point, though. All right, let's
- 2:02Speaker 1: do the sounds of college football. There's some juicy stuff, man,
- 2:06Speaker 1: whether it's the, you know, embattled coaches of the Carolina Pressers,
- 2:10Speaker 1: and people cannot stop texting us about the Shane Beamer
- 2:13Speaker 1: clip that went viral. What he is, what he, does
- 2:17Speaker 1: he really think his fans want to hear this? So
- 2:18Speaker 1: this is coming up in a few minutes, what Shane
- 2:21Speaker 1: Beamer has said yesterday to fire up Gamecock fans even more.
- 2:25Speaker 1: But let's start with two Former coaches turned media guys that,
- 2:30Speaker 1: I mean, I did all the eye rolls at these
- 2:34Speaker 1: two gentlemen. I think they are both so full of crap.
- 2:38Speaker 1: These two guys annoy the living crap out of me
- 2:40Speaker 1: with their attitudes and what they say. Let's start with
- 2:44Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Urban Meyer, you're on deck. But let's start
- 2:46Speaker 1: with Nick Saban. There's been a lot of talk, Bone, about, hey,
- 2:53Speaker 1: we're trying to limit what the athletes can make. How
- 2:56Speaker 1: about the coaches' salaries? All these schools cry poor, and
- 2:59Speaker 1: then they pay the coaches ridiculous money. They have the
- 3:02Speaker 1: ridiculous buyouts. And Stephen A. asked Nick Saban on ESPN
- 3:08Speaker 1: about that. Is that kind of hypocritical?
- 3:12Speaker 4: What about those who would look at this and say, okay,
- 3:15Speaker 4: it makes sense as it pertains to the players, but
- 3:17Speaker 4: is there a cap on coaches and administrators and how
- 3:20Speaker 4: much money they can earn?
- 3:21Speaker 1: How about that not being addressed in the protect college sports?
- 3:24Speaker 5: Well, but these things are totally different markets. Like that's
- 3:29Speaker 5: like asking me, does a student scholarship equal the professor's pay?
- 3:35Speaker 5: I mean, how much value does a coach create for
- 3:39Speaker 5: a university?
- 3:41Speaker 1: Well, if it's Nick Saban, it's an easy answer. But
- 3:43Speaker 1: there's a lot of coaches. That's a very challenging question,
- 3:46Speaker 1: to say the least.
- 3:47Speaker 5: But I think a better way to control that is contracts.
- 3:50Speaker 5: Rather than worry about amount of money people make, I
- 3:54Speaker 5: think the thing that has been difficult is when coaches
- 3:57Speaker 5: get fired and they have these huge buyouts and everybody says, well,
- 4:01Speaker 5: how can the university afford to pay them that? I
- 4:03Speaker 5: think you can figure out, okay, you can't have any
- 4:06Speaker 5: more than a five-year contract or whatever it is. and
- 4:10Speaker 5: maybe the buyout can only be so much. But I
- 4:13Speaker 5: think that's maybe a better way to approach it than
- 4:16Speaker 5: try to make these two things. They're different markets. Players'
- 4:19Speaker 5: market's different than coaches' market.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Unbelievable. You're not kidding on that one, though. Unbelievable. Can
- 4:26Speaker 1: I just read into what he really means there? And
- 4:29Speaker 1: so many coaches I feel like deep down feel this way.
- 4:32Speaker 1: They like the way it was before they had to
- 4:34Speaker 1: pay the players anything. They liked it before. The control
- 4:39Speaker 1: they could have over each individual situation. And the money thing, too.
- 4:43Speaker 1: So they don't want to give up the money on
- 4:45Speaker 1: their end as coaches. But they can't stand it now
- 4:48Speaker 1: all of a sudden. And to act like players in
- 4:52Speaker 1: college football are not generating money for the university. Who's
- 4:55Speaker 1: worth more dang money, Bone, to Mississippi State right now?
- 4:59Speaker 1: Camario Taylor or Jeff Levy? It's not even remotely close.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Come on, man. That is disingenuous as hell to act
- 5:08Speaker 1: like I'm not saying every athlete, but to act like
- 5:11Speaker 1: some of these athletes are not generating so much for
- 5:14Speaker 1: the day.
- 5:15Speaker 2: And as far as like player contract goes, are players
- 5:18Speaker 2: about going to have to be held to contracts? Or
- 5:21Speaker 2: would the contracts be like college coaching contracts where. They're
- 5:25Speaker 2: simply just bought out and that'll mean a thing, right? Yeah.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Because college coaching contracts back are the most meaningless things
- 5:30Speaker 2: ever because of the buyouts. Coaches can move freely no
- 5:33Speaker 2: matter what, but are players allowed to move off their
- 5:36Speaker 2: contracts like coaches are Nick Saban or is that not allowed?
- 5:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, well, they're trying to limit to
- 5:42Speaker 1: one transfer.
- 5:42Speaker 3: I know.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I know what I mean. So they're trying to not
- 5:45Speaker 1: let them move around. And to your point, the only
- 5:49Speaker 1: thing they're doing is in the Protect College Sports Act, which,
- 5:53Speaker 1: as I understand it, Bone, the House may chop this
- 5:56Speaker 1: thing up and alter this thing before they vote for it.
- 5:59Speaker 1: But as of right now, they have the thing in there,
- 6:01Speaker 1: the Lane Kiffin rule, where they will not let coaches,
- 6:04Speaker 1: you know, it would not let coaches leave midseason. So
- 6:07Speaker 1: they at least have that going on. But other than that,
- 6:10Speaker 1: to your point, they're not really restricting anything. Because God
- 6:13Speaker 1: forbid the coaches and administrators, Bone, have to give up
- 6:17Speaker 1: some of their salaries while, you know what I mean,
- 6:19Speaker 1: while the business model struggles.
- 6:21Speaker 2: The other Lane Kiffin rule is thou shall not leave
- 6:24Speaker 2: head coach on the tarmac.
- 6:25Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. All right. So let's go to urban Meyer.
- 6:31Speaker 1: And I have to be honest with you. Nick Saban was, was,
- 6:34Speaker 1: is full of it. He's a shield for the coaches, whatever. Um, uh,
- 6:38Speaker 1: there's hypocritical stuff there that he's not even acknowledging, but
- 6:41Speaker 1: it pales in comparison to what urban Meyer said, uh,
- 6:45Speaker 1: on the cover three podcast. I can't, how does he
- 6:47Speaker 1: say this with a straight face based on his history?
- 6:50Speaker 1: Listen to what he says about Colin Simmons, the edge
- 6:53Speaker 1: rusher from Texas and and his, you know, as the
- 6:57Speaker 1: referee said, simulating the restroom celebration. Listen to what Urban
- 7:00Speaker 1: Old Herb says. Colin Simmons marking his spot at Neyland Stadium.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Grow the F up. If I'm the head coach and
- 7:09Speaker 1: I see that kid do that, he's out for it.
- 7:11Speaker 1: I'm suspending him. Right, and that's on you too, Sark. Like,
- 7:14Speaker 1: get your business in order. Reflection of your coach. We
- 7:17Speaker 1: talked about it.
- 7:17Speaker 7: Your guys are kind of running around right now, and
- 7:19Speaker 7: you are not displaying yourself as a number one ranked
- 7:22Speaker 7: team in the nation.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Urban Meyer, I've always been a guy that has sort of, Mac,
- 7:30Speaker 2: I've been a guy that, because I rooted for him
- 7:32Speaker 2: when I was a Gator fan, you know, 20 plus
- 7:35Speaker 2: years ago. But to sit there and say that you
- 7:39Speaker 2: would suspend him when you ran a program that was
- 7:43Speaker 2: so unruly, there are documentaries made about it. You had
- 7:47Speaker 2: at least 31 players arrested. How many were suspended? I'd
- 7:52Speaker 2: have to go look and see, but I can guarantee
- 7:54Speaker 2: you that action there from the 2004 to 2011 Gators
- 8:00Speaker 2: would not be suspended, Urban Meyer. It's the first thing
- 8:03Speaker 2: I thought of. I don't want to go through each incident,
- 8:04Speaker 2: but you got a lot of bad dudes in that
- 8:06Speaker 2: football team you coach.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Ohio State, I'm sure stuff happened there. too but
- 8:10Speaker 1: look in the other way how about the way they'd
- 8:12Speaker 1: had the game fill cops in their back pocket when
- 8:14Speaker 1: herb was at florida yeah so they were able to
- 8:17Speaker 1: communicate with the cops so that things did not become
- 8:19Speaker 1: bigger deals like yeah that that is one of the
- 8:22Speaker 1: richest comments that any human being can make 40 seriously
- 8:28Speaker 1: 41 of.
- 8:28Speaker 2: 121 players on the 2008 championship team were arrested How
- 8:33Speaker 2: many of them do you think ultimately ended up missing
- 8:35Speaker 2: games for those arrests? Carlos Dunlap missed one for a
- 8:39Speaker 2: DWI before the championship game. Of course, there was the
- 8:43Speaker 2: cam stuff with the laptop. But many were not disciplined.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I can guarantee you, Urban, that.
- 8:47Speaker 2: You looked the other way on a lot more stuff
- 8:49Speaker 2: worse than a guy stimulating urination in a football game.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Yeah, fake moon. Didn't that dude have a murder on
- 8:54Speaker 1: the team? In fairness.
- 8:55Speaker 2: There might have been a gator that actually peed on
- 8:56Speaker 2: somebody during a game at one point.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Yeah. Forget the simulation. In fairness, he didn't know he
- 9:04Speaker 1: had a murderer on his team at the time. Belichick, though.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Belichick's the one that had the murderer at the time.
- 9:10Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, that's just... Both of those guys, man. Saban,
- 9:14Speaker 1: it's just... And Herb, it's just, it's so, I need
- 9:19Speaker 1: boots in here, Bone. It's just, it's very deep to
- 9:23Speaker 1: wade through the BS now that we gave you on
- 9:27Speaker 1: the radio. All right, let's get the current coaches now.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Are they BSing? Gamecock fans would say yes about Shane Beamer. Listen,
- 9:35Speaker 1: I know it's a hard spot that these coaches are in, Bone.
- 9:38Speaker 1: They got to do pressers. Imagine at your workplace, y'all,
- 9:42Speaker 1: it's going really bad, you're having a rough quarter or whatever,
- 9:45Speaker 1: and you got to do pressers every couple of days,
- 9:47Speaker 1: talking about it. I fully admit, Bone, that can't be fun.
- 9:52Speaker 1: But it's part of the job, and they get compensated
- 9:55Speaker 1: heavily for it. But man, Shane Beamer picks the wrong
- 9:58Speaker 1: words sometimes. Listen to what Shane Beamer was bragging about
- 10:02Speaker 1: yesterday at his presser.
- 10:04Speaker 2: You ask the question, people get tired of hearing about
- 10:06Speaker 2: the wrong thing?
- 10:07Speaker 1: Well, guess what?
- 10:08Speaker 2: We had a hell of a practice today. We had
- 10:10Speaker 2: a hell of a practice.
- 10:11Speaker 1: You know what? So you get tired of hearing that?
- 10:14Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 10:14Speaker 7: You're going to keep hearing it, but we got some
- 10:16Speaker 7: freaking awesome young men that went out there today practice
- 10:20Speaker 7: their butts off with a ton of energy, and they
- 10:23Speaker 7: hurt too.
- 10:27Speaker 1: How did that hit you as a Gamecock fan, Bo?
- 10:29Speaker 1: Are you excited about that? Yeah, I can't wait. Great.
- 10:31Speaker 2: That's wonderful. There was so much talking about it. There
- 10:35Speaker 2: were so many things that came out yesterday from Shane Beamer.
- 10:38Speaker 2: I lost track of where I ranked them in terms
- 10:40Speaker 2: of what bothered me more. I had a mental list
- 10:42Speaker 2: going of what was annoying me yesterday, and it got
- 10:45Speaker 2: to the point my brain said, shut down. I'm so
- 10:47Speaker 2: annoyed right now. And I hate feeling that way because
- 10:50Speaker 2: I'm not normally, Mac, you know, I'm not really a–
- 10:53Speaker 2: Usually I'm kind of supportive of the coaches to a
- 10:54Speaker 2: certain point until it gets to a point where you
- 10:57Speaker 2: can't support anymore. Well, I'm at that point now where
- 11:00Speaker 2: there's just a lot of talking, man. There is just
- 11:02Speaker 2: a lot of talking and there's not a lot of
- 11:05Speaker 2: consistent performance. Losing to Bama, I'm not mad about that
- 11:09Speaker 2: because it's going to happen a lot to most teams.
- 11:11Speaker 2: It's the way that you didn't show up and also
- 11:14Speaker 2: the way your team performed. completely melted down in so
- 11:17Speaker 2: many areas both football off the field that was look
- 11:21Speaker 2: if they would have lost a close game i'm annoyed
- 11:24Speaker 2: but i'm not mad but when you embarrass yourselves like
- 11:27Speaker 2: that that's when i have a problem yeah it's and
- 11:30Speaker 2: he knew it when he said it past those types
- 11:32Speaker 2: of things too by the.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Way The way he started that comment, he kind of
- 11:36Speaker 1: prefaced it. He knew it wouldn't go over well, but
- 11:39Speaker 1: he just wanted you to know so badly that they
- 11:43Speaker 1: had an amazing practice. It's kind of like last year,
- 11:45Speaker 1: to your point, Bone, when he just kept saying over
- 11:48Speaker 1: and over again, this isn't happening again. Next season, we're
- 11:50Speaker 1: going to be a playoff contender again. This won't happen.
- 11:53Speaker 1: Wait till you see us in 2026. It's like, to
- 11:56Speaker 1: your point, people don't want to hear the yapping. People
- 11:59Speaker 1: want action. You got to be about that action, boss.
- 12:02Speaker 2: And I said it in December, the presser that you're
- 12:05Speaker 2: talking about, end of season, when he said, it's going
- 12:07Speaker 2: to be different.
- 12:08Speaker 1: We have all this. We have all that.
- 12:09Speaker 2: I said, first of all, I would be careful making
- 12:12Speaker 2: promises as a college coach in December when you have
- 12:15Speaker 2: absolutely no idea. He was saying that stuff before we
- 12:20Speaker 2: knew about it. sellers and he didn't even know they
- 12:22Speaker 2: were coming back yeah they did and ultimately it hasn't
- 12:25Speaker 2: made a difference right now but he was saying that
- 12:27Speaker 2: stuff before he knew he was coming back like why
- 12:29Speaker 2: are you talking before like if you went through spring
- 12:32Speaker 2: practice and you realize oh we have something here and
- 12:36Speaker 2: he said all right we're gonna be better all right
- 12:37Speaker 2: well you've seen your team He was making promises straight
- 12:40Speaker 2: out his backside to try to save himself because he
- 12:43Speaker 2: had no other way to go. And he made those promises.
- 12:46Speaker 2: I said, you better be careful. You're at South Carolina.
- 12:49Speaker 2: There's no guarantee with your team and the schedule and
- 12:53Speaker 2: all that that you're going to be better. And sure enough,
- 12:55Speaker 2: it's backfired on him right now. He's getting mocked so bad,
- 12:57Speaker 2: people are sending banners.
- 12:59Speaker 1: There's banners floating around on social media for best practice
- 13:02Speaker 1: team in the country. Practice national champion, this says. You
- 13:06Speaker 1: said there was like a list of rankings. Yeah, on three,
- 13:09Speaker 1: a fake on three. By the way, look who's here, Mac.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Why is she dancing and celebrating? Hey, you're 0-3 in
- 13:15Speaker 1: your quarterbacks. Get out of my window. Tampa Tammy is shameless.
- 13:20Speaker 2: You're 0-3 in the NFL and you're $ 17, 100 to Miami.
- 13:25Speaker 1: At home this week.
- 13:27Speaker 2: You might want to keep stepping that way. The loser's
- 13:31Speaker 2: lounge is that way.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I thought Tampa Tammy was going to crawl on the
- 13:33Speaker 1: ground so we couldn't see her through the window. All
- 13:36Speaker 1: of a sudden, you lost to the Browns too. How
- 13:38Speaker 1: can you trash talk us? And you lost every game
- 13:41Speaker 1: and haven't won one and your quarterbacks.
- 13:43Speaker 7: Out first place that she's talking trash to us first
- 13:46Speaker 7: place right now first place by virtue of the tiebreaker
- 13:49Speaker 7: number one yeah you're in last.
- 13:50Speaker 4: By yourself all right anyway back not that she she
- 13:54Speaker 4: doesn't punching the window right now not that she triggers
- 13:56Speaker 4: us or anything she's sending us a message via her
- 13:59Speaker 4: phone what is the message Is your eyesight good enough
- 14:02Speaker 4: for that bone?
- 14:03Speaker 1: I can't. Todd Bull should be fired, too. Okay. All right.
- 14:07Speaker 6: All right.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Misery loves company. All right. Now you're one of us.
- 14:09Speaker 1: She's miserable, too. All right.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Good.
- 14:11Speaker 1: That's all I wanted to hear. Anyway.
- 14:13Speaker 2: All right.
- 14:14Speaker 1: So what were we saying? Let's get to the next
- 14:15Speaker 1: sound clip. Enough of Shane Beamer. This dude said, can
- 14:19Speaker 1: y'all let poor Shane Beamer off the mat? This is daily. Yeah.
- 14:23Speaker 2: It is.
- 14:24Speaker 1: All right, anyway, let's continue because let's get to Dave Doran.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Dave Doran was asked about facing all the criticism that
- 14:33Speaker 1: he faces, and this was his response.
- 14:37Speaker 6: Criticism is part of the world right now. I think
- 14:41Speaker 6: it's just the lynch mob mentality of everything. How can
- 14:44Speaker 6: we tear somebody down more and more and more? It's
- 14:47Speaker 6: just the society that we're a part of. And it's
- 14:50Speaker 6: not a happy one, you know. And so for me
- 14:52Speaker 6: to have good mental health and to enjoy what I do,
- 14:55Speaker 6: I just got to block a lot of that out.
- 14:57Speaker 6: And can it get old at times? Sure it can.
- 15:01Speaker 6: But you just got to remember why you're here. You know,
- 15:03Speaker 6: you're here to mentor, coach, lead, help a university. You're
- 15:07Speaker 6: here to win as many games as you possibly can.
- 15:09Speaker 6: And when you don't, learn from them and get better.
- 15:13Speaker 6: And that's what I try to focus on.
- 15:16Speaker 1: There you go.
- 15:16Speaker 2: I need Dave to just chill out a little bit there.
- 15:18Speaker 2: He's a little too fiery for my needs right now.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Dave, listen, I feel like he— I' m not sure the criticism
- 15:27Speaker 1: bothers him much. He doesn't seem to be the person— although
- 15:30Speaker 1: I will say this, you do get feisty Dave moments
- 15:32Speaker 1: like you did the other day.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Yeah, he did.
- 15:33Speaker 1: So, yeah, he does. He does have moments where it
- 15:35Speaker 1: bothers him. His choice of the phrase, lynch mob— Got
- 15:43Speaker 1: the attention of some in the media. Goldie brought it
- 15:45Speaker 1: up yesterday. Dan Walken was all over him for it.
- 15:49Speaker 1: I get what he's talking about. He probably could have said, like,
- 15:52Speaker 1: you know, online mob or something like that. But I
- 15:56Speaker 1: get what he was trying to say there. But I
- 15:59Speaker 1: don't know, man. I just don't sense, Bone, and maybe
- 16:03Speaker 1: I'm wrong, and we'll see how the season plays out.
- 16:05Speaker 1: I don't sense the administration at NC State is near
- 16:10Speaker 1: as bothered by Dave Doran as fans are. It wasn't
- 16:14Speaker 1: the case last year, and I don't think it's the
- 16:17Speaker 1: case now. I could be wrong.
- 16:18Speaker 2: What are you thinking about this game on Saturday, 3.30, Louisville?
- 16:24Speaker 2: At NC State, it's a four-point spread right now. 94%
- 16:28Speaker 2: of the money line is on the cards. What are
- 16:31Speaker 2: you thinking here? Do you think this is a spot
- 16:33Speaker 2: where State can do one of their things? They beat No.
- 16:36Speaker 2: 8 Georgia Tech last year at home. Are you thinking
- 16:39Speaker 2: that they can do something here? Part of me is.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Wondering here a little bit. Keenles is banged up. The
- 16:44Speaker 1: reason I would lean no is Louisville lost last week.
- 16:48Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Like, if Louisville won last week and was rolling, I
- 16:53Speaker 1: could see them have a trip up. Do we think
- 16:55Speaker 1: they're going to trip up twice in a row? Like,
- 16:57Speaker 1: that's a pretty damn good team, and I don't know— And.
- 16:59Speaker 2: That would be three losses for them already, and that
- 17:02Speaker 2: does seem like kind of a lot for them.
- 17:03Speaker 1: And Doran made a great point about all the Keenhole's
- 17:06Speaker 1: injury talk coming out of Louisville. Oh, he was hurt
- 17:08Speaker 1: on the last play. What did he do when he
- 17:11Speaker 1: was down on the last play? Ryan did a ref
- 17:14Speaker 1: about getting— he wanted a call. Dave Doran said— He didn't
- 17:19Speaker 1: say BS, but he basically said, I don't think he'd
- 17:23Speaker 1: be worried about a call if he was severely injured
- 17:25Speaker 1: or whatever. Plus, that dude, he has some material in him,
- 17:30Speaker 1: you know what I mean, without 58 turnovers per game.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Keen holes, he's the type of guy, Bone, that would play,
- 17:37Speaker 1: you know what I mean, through anything. You could hit
- 17:40Speaker 1: him with a Mack truck five minutes before the game,
- 17:42Speaker 1: he'd come out and play.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Now, State beat Virginia last year at home in a...
- 17:47Speaker 2: back and forth high scoring game. I think it might
- 17:50Speaker 2: be one of those. I think state competes. I think
- 17:52Speaker 2: it's kind of, it's, I think they can play within
- 17:55Speaker 2: that spread. I think it comes down to the end.
- 17:57Speaker 2: I lean Louisville, but I think state shows up in
- 18:00Speaker 2: this game. And I think it does come down to
- 18:01Speaker 2: the end. It's an interesting spot. I fear state is
- 18:03Speaker 2: going to lose the next two at home. I hope
- 18:05Speaker 2: I'm wrong, but they got Louisville and then they got wake.
- 18:08Speaker 2: in the next two, and I don't think they're better
- 18:10Speaker 2: than either team. But to your point, Bone, they weren't
- 18:13Speaker 2: better in Virginia last year, and they weren't better in
- 18:15Speaker 2: Georgia Tech.
- 18:16Speaker 1: But on one day, you know what I mean? And
- 18:18Speaker 1: State has, to your point, gotten these wins. I think
- 18:21Speaker 1: they'll get one of them, I think. I don't think
- 18:24Speaker 1: they'll lose both of them. They'll get one. Doug is
- 18:26Speaker 1: usually arguing on behalf of State. Doug now just says,
- 18:29Speaker 1: I think we're going to get curb stomped by Louisville.
- 18:32Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think that's going to happen.
- 18:33Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a very entertaining game,
- 18:35Speaker 2: to be honest with you. When we come back, a
- 18:37Speaker 2: man Mac who gets rave reviews whenever he appears on
- 18:41Speaker 2: the Mac and Bone show. Panthers great Brentson Buckner will
- 18:44Speaker 2: break down the defense without J.C. Horn. And also interested
- 18:49Speaker 2: in Buck's thoughts on the amount of injuries in the
- 18:52Speaker 2: league and why it's happening.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 19:14Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Keep the text coming, man. People
- 19:29Speaker 1: are fiery. People are feisty. I love it, baby. That's
- 19:31Speaker 1: what football is all about, bringing out the passion. Shout
- 19:36Speaker 1: out to Harrisburg Jamie. During all our disgruntled college press
- 19:40Speaker 1: conference audio we've played, Bone, in the first hour and
- 19:42Speaker 1: the second hour, wanted to point out as a Duke fan,
- 19:46Speaker 1: not everybody's angry at their coach. He said long live
- 19:50Speaker 1: Manny Diaz.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in a weird world right now. I'm wanting
- 19:54Speaker 2: one gone, and I'm also trying to keep the other
- 19:56Speaker 2: guy out of school right now. I'm also wondering, is
- 19:58Speaker 2: one school going to take my guy from the other
- 20:00Speaker 2: school right now? I got a lot. I got a
- 20:03Speaker 2: lot of fires back. I got a lot of fires
- 20:05Speaker 2: in the irons right now going on.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Wake Forest. Irons in the fire. We got you. We
- 20:09Speaker 1: got you. Wake Forest, happy with their coach, should be
- 20:12Speaker 1: elated with Jamie Dickert. I think App State fans are
- 20:15Speaker 1: looking at Dow Log and saying, okay. Okay, you're doing
- 20:17Speaker 1: a little bit of coaching, dude. And Mike Houston has earned,
- 20:21Speaker 1: it hasn't been a great start for ECU, but I
- 20:24Speaker 1: feel like Mike Houston has earned a little bit of
- 20:27Speaker 1: leeway here from Pirate fans, and they've got plenty of
- 20:29Speaker 1: football to play. But those other five in the Carolinas boat, woo, doggy. Oh, man.
- 20:35Speaker 2: And a name that's going to come up a lot,
- 20:37Speaker 2: that's already coming up within Gamecock fans, and I'm sure
- 20:40Speaker 2: a lot of fan bases will bring them up, is
- 20:42Speaker 2: Buster Faulkner, the OC with the Gators who came from
- 20:46Speaker 2: Georgia Tech. Did work with Haynes King. Now he's doing
- 20:49Speaker 2: work down there. That's going to be a name. We'll
- 20:51Speaker 2: see how high level of a job he ends up getting.
- 20:54Speaker 2: But Buster Faulkner is a guy on the assistant level
- 20:57Speaker 2: that's going to be all the rage.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Oh, the job he's doing, that Florida offense, after what
- 21:02Speaker 1: he did with Haynes King last year in a Georgia
- 21:04Speaker 1: Tech offense in the past. All right, let's bring in
- 21:07Speaker 1: a man.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Wait till a Panther fan says, why don't we bring
- 21:09Speaker 2: him in here, Buster Faulkner?
- 21:11Speaker 1: Let him and Haynes King run the show? All right,
- 21:14Speaker 1: let's bring in someone that knows himself some ball. We
- 21:19Speaker 1: do have to change this, though. I just realized, Bone,
- 21:21Speaker 1: I've reached out to Buck after both losses, but not
- 21:23Speaker 1: after the win. Buck has to come in and do
- 21:25Speaker 1: cleanup duty. Brentson Buckner, a legend in these parts in
- 21:30Speaker 1: the Carolinas, a stud D lineman for Clemson, the same
- 21:33Speaker 1: here with the Panthers. You can check out his podcast,
- 21:36Speaker 1: Buck naked sports and here, but all bucks takes, but
- 21:40Speaker 1: he's nice enough to join us here. Talk a little
- 21:42Speaker 1: Panther football, maybe a little college football too. What's up, Buck?
- 21:44Speaker 1: How you doing, man?
- 21:45Speaker 3: How are you doing?
- 21:46Speaker 1: Good.
- 21:46Speaker 3: What's going on, my guy?
- 21:47Speaker 1: What's up, Buck? What's happening? Appreciate you being here. And
- 21:50Speaker 1: one day we will win a game and get you
- 21:52Speaker 1: on when it's a happier conversation. Buck, this team right now,
- 21:58Speaker 1: the offensive line, now Damian Lewis is hurt and sounds
- 22:00Speaker 1: like he won't play at least this week. And I
- 22:03Speaker 1: feel like he's our most reliable lineman. But the tackles
- 22:06Speaker 1: have been having rough times. Of course, we're missing our
- 22:09Speaker 1: two starters. Like what, what can the Panthers do to
- 22:12Speaker 1: kind of make the job easier of these tackles? Cause
- 22:16Speaker 1: we got Aiden Hutchinson coming in here. Like, or do
- 22:19Speaker 1: you just think this until the, the tackles get healthy,
- 22:22Speaker 1: we're in trouble. What do you think?
- 22:24Speaker 3: Well, I think now you have to sort of scheme
- 22:27Speaker 3: to help your tackles. No chip blocks, probably keeping guys
- 22:32Speaker 3: in on protections, getting the ball out of the quarterback's
- 22:36Speaker 3: hands fast, moving the ball, go to more timing routes.
- 22:39Speaker 3: You're probably going to be limited with your shots you
- 22:42Speaker 3: take downfield because you don't have the pocket timing. because
- 22:47Speaker 3: the offensive line struggles. There's different ways you can go
- 22:51Speaker 3: by it, but the number one way that you help
- 22:53Speaker 3: straighten the offensive line is you generate a run game.
- 22:57Speaker 3: You know, you got to generate a run game and
- 22:59Speaker 3: you got to lean on that run game. You got
- 23:01Speaker 3: to get those defensive linemen sitting back on their heels
- 23:04Speaker 3: thinking that they got to take on run blocks. And
- 23:07Speaker 3: then first down becomes more of a passing down because
- 23:10Speaker 3: a lot of times a defensive mindset, first and 10,
- 23:13Speaker 3: you think you run more run than pass. and then
- 23:17Speaker 3: you want to take your dropbacks, take them on first down,
- 23:19Speaker 3: you know, and catch the defense by surprise. There's different
- 23:22Speaker 3: ways you can scheme to help your offensive line get better.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Got to do that. By the way, I hate to
- 23:29Speaker 1: interrupt this interview, but you can laugh at me. You
- 23:31Speaker 1: enjoy that over the years. Finnegan to mop out. I
- 23:34Speaker 1: messed up. For some reason, I said Mike Houston and
- 23:38Speaker 1: not Blake Harrell as ECU's coach. Mike Houston is long gone.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Blake Harrell is the one who had a good year
- 23:44Speaker 1: and a half coming into this season and has himself
- 23:47Speaker 1: some grace period. My bad, everybody. The weight coach is
- 23:50Speaker 1: Jake Dicker. Apparently, Max said Jamie Dicker. Oh, did I?
- 23:53Speaker 7: Oh, did I screw up both? New name for you, Matt.
- 23:57Speaker 7: We're going to call you Mop McClain because all you
- 23:59Speaker 7: do is mess up.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Hey, Buck, are you free out of the bullpen at
- 24:02Speaker 2: some point here?
- 24:02Speaker 1: We might need to sit back down.
- 24:04Speaker 7: For a game or two.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I'm not good with names, y'all. I'm getting too old
- 24:06Speaker 1: for this name thing. Y'all just got to figure out
- 24:09Speaker 1: who I'm talking about.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Let's get back to Buck's breakdown. Buck, we get the
- 24:12Speaker 2: news of, on the defensive side, J.C.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Horn.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Being out for a long time. How, how much does
- 24:20Speaker 2: this hurt? And is there a way to navigate life
- 24:23Speaker 2: defensively without JC and still play relatively well?
- 24:28Speaker 3: Well, you know, it hurts because I think J.C. was
- 24:31Speaker 3: an ascending defensive back in his league. I like his size,
- 24:36Speaker 3: his athleticism. He could match up versus number one wide receivers,
- 24:42Speaker 3: physical in the run game, and it sort of puts
- 24:44Speaker 3: you in the hole. Now you've got to go with
- 24:47Speaker 3: the young guys, and once again, you know, As a
- 24:50Speaker 3: defensive coordinator, you want to run your stuff. You want
- 24:53Speaker 3: to run your stuff, but you can't. Or you're going
- 24:55Speaker 3: to be limited to some of the stuff you run
- 24:57Speaker 3: because the guy that's behind J.C. just is not as
- 25:00Speaker 3: good as he is. But you go out there and
- 25:04Speaker 3: you try to play your style of defense. We used
- 25:07Speaker 3: to always say this. The most valuable players in the
- 25:10Speaker 3: room are not the starters. It's the guys that sit
- 25:12Speaker 3: behind the starters because they're At a blink of an eye,
- 25:15Speaker 3: they got to come in and become the guy. And
- 25:18Speaker 3: what you try to employ to your backups is we
- 25:21Speaker 3: don't want to drop off. You know, we don't want
- 25:23Speaker 3: to drop off. We don't want to have to just
- 25:25Speaker 3: start to change and alter everything because one guy's missing
- 25:29Speaker 3: here or there. No, your job is to come in
- 25:32Speaker 3: and be ready. And a lot of times this is
- 25:34Speaker 3: where this is where stars are born, where they accept
- 25:37Speaker 3: their self. their responsibility, they're ready to perform, and they
- 25:42Speaker 3: go out there and do their job. So this is
- 25:44Speaker 3: a challenge for the backup guys. Now you got your
- 25:46Speaker 3: chance because everybody sits in that locker room and wants
- 25:49Speaker 3: to be a starter. You talk, well, if I get
- 25:51Speaker 3: my chance, if I get my chance, I can do it. Well,
- 25:53Speaker 3: now it's presented itself. Are you ready to take hold
- 25:57Speaker 3: of that role and become a starter and keep the
- 26:00Speaker 3: ship upright until the starter gets back?
- 26:03Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're hoping for, man, and we will see.
- 26:05Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Jack, good chance he doesn't go too,
- 26:08Speaker 1: and maybe Corey Thornton gets called back. I do think
- 26:12Speaker 1: Lee and Caleb Evans were both pretty good last week.
- 26:14Speaker 1: But this passing attack they go against this week is
- 26:17Speaker 1: a bigger challenge. I wanted to ask you about a
- 26:20Speaker 1: schematic question, Buck. I have noticed, looking at the numbers
- 26:23Speaker 1: on Sumer Sports, I have noticed that the Panthers have
- 26:27Speaker 1: blitzed more this season in a small three-game sample. They're
- 26:31Speaker 1: up to 7th in blitz percentage from middle of the
- 26:33Speaker 1: pack last year. And they're playing more man. Like last year,
- 26:37Speaker 1: they hardly played any man. This year, I think they're
- 26:39Speaker 1: like 17th in man percentage. So it's kind of a split.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Do you think you have to change those things? Do
- 26:45Speaker 1: you think you have to go back to zone coverage
- 26:49Speaker 1: and less blitzing without JC Horn and maybe without Mike Jack, too?
- 26:54Speaker 3: I don't because I think the reason you're seeing it
- 26:56Speaker 3: more because I think that's the way they're built. So
- 26:59Speaker 3: even the backups were brought in here because they're probably
- 27:02Speaker 3: pretty good at playing man, so it fits your scheme.
- 27:05Speaker 3: And I think the man part is also what you
- 27:08Speaker 3: got at linebacker this year. I know that last year
- 27:11Speaker 3: you did not want to leave those guys in man
- 27:14Speaker 3: because it was just a mismatch for the offense. But
- 27:16Speaker 3: when you get Devin Lloyd in here and you get–
- 27:19Speaker 3: I don't want to say if I'm saying it right. Okurike?
- 27:23Speaker 3: Is that right how you say his name?
- 27:24Speaker 2: I wouldn't be asking back right now about names.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Let's just go ahead and say you got it, Buck. Yeah,
- 27:29Speaker 1: that's the way I would say it, Buck.
- 27:32Speaker 3: I don't want to mess this guy's name up.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Okurike, yeah. Okurike.
- 27:37Speaker 3: You know, those guys are good in coverage. You know
- 27:40Speaker 3: what I mean? They're better than what you have. And
- 27:42Speaker 3: so you can be more free on defense to blitz
- 27:45Speaker 3: a little bit more. to play a little bit more man.
- 27:48Speaker 3: So I think that's the style that they're morphing into,
- 27:52Speaker 3: and the playbook is open for the defensive coordinator because
- 27:54Speaker 3: the talent has allowed him to open it up. So
- 27:57Speaker 3: you don't want to stray away from too much of
- 27:59Speaker 3: what you do, or you'll be back in the same boat.
- 28:02Speaker 3: You know what I mean? So those guys, those backups,
- 28:05Speaker 3: they're probably not the starters because that's when they're backups,
- 28:08Speaker 3: but you know this system, and you're here because you
- 28:10Speaker 3: fit this system, and so you just want to keep
- 28:13Speaker 3: on running your system and running your system.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Buck, Smitty was on with Kyle Bailey the other day
- 28:18Speaker 2: in his weekly spot, and they were talking about not
- 28:21Speaker 2: just the Panther injuries, but the league-wide injuries right now.
- 28:25Speaker 2: It's running rampant, all teams. I mean, look at the Niners,
- 28:28Speaker 2: for crying out loud. He had a theory that, you know,
- 28:31Speaker 2: the surfaces that the players are growing up with now
- 28:35Speaker 2: are so much different than they used to be and
- 28:37Speaker 2: not just the natural grass. They're playing on turf as kids.
- 28:39Speaker 2: They're playing on turf as kids. Do you buy into that?
- 28:43Speaker 2: And what do you think is leading to just the–
- 28:45Speaker 2: the rash of more injuries than ever before?
- 28:47Speaker 3: I think the surface, of course, because, you know, grass
- 28:52Speaker 3: is more forgiving. Grass is more healing towards your body.
- 28:55Speaker 3: When you're playing on this turf, this synthetic turf, it
- 28:59Speaker 3: adds more force into your joints. And if you do
- 29:02Speaker 3: it time after time, because, you know, figure when I
- 29:04Speaker 3: was coming up in high school, I never touched the turf.
- 29:07Speaker 3: When I got to college, I touched it twice at
- 29:09Speaker 3: Georgia Tech and at Virginia at the time. Both of
- 29:12Speaker 3: them had turf fields. But then when I got to
- 29:14Speaker 3: the NFL, everybody in the L.C. Central back at the
- 29:18Speaker 3: time had turf except for the Cleveland Browns. And your
- 29:21Speaker 3: body just felt– my body felt different being on that turf.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Another factor is I just think these guys– these guys
- 29:30Speaker 3: grew up playing football year-round now. You know, you got
- 29:33Speaker 3: fall ball. You got winter ball. You got spring ball.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Some guys play for two and three teams during the
- 29:40Speaker 3: season because they're playing travel ball. And then once you
- 29:43Speaker 3: go off to college, you're practicing. But then in the offseason,
- 29:46Speaker 3: they're training. They're job specific. They're not giving their body
- 29:49Speaker 3: time to heal or sort of morph. to what they're
- 29:55Speaker 3: trying to do. So I think it's wear and tear
- 29:57Speaker 3: on the body from an early age, whereas when I
- 30:00Speaker 3: was in middle school, you played football. Football, you went
- 30:03Speaker 3: to basketball. Basketball, you went to track or baseball. And
- 30:06Speaker 3: it was always through high school. And then your body
- 30:09Speaker 3: got a chance to do different things. But when you're
- 30:11Speaker 3: playing the same sport year in and year out, you know,
- 30:15Speaker 3: you start to wear those joints out because you're doing
- 30:17Speaker 3: the same movements too much.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. It definitely makes sense. All right, Buck. Well, hey,
- 30:23Speaker 1: you are the man. We appreciate you answering the questions
- 30:27Speaker 1: that you know. Buck coached in the league, too, in
- 30:31Speaker 1: addition to all those years playing. We appreciate you. Buck,
- 30:34Speaker 1: next time you come on, maybe we'll make it after
- 30:36Speaker 1: a win, and maybe I will clean my game up.
- 30:38Speaker 1: All right? We'll not distract from your segment with a
- 30:41Speaker 1: bunch of mistakes. I'll be better, Buck.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Did Mac lose his spot on the Buck Naked Truth podcast?
- 30:47Speaker 1: No.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll probably sit you on the bench
- 30:52Speaker 3: a little bit. We'll have to send you down to
- 30:54Speaker 3: the D-League for a podcast. Okay, yeah.
- 30:58Speaker 1: I'll prove myself down there at the lower levels, Buck.
- 31:01Speaker 1: All right, Buck, you the man, baby.
- 31:03Speaker 3: All right, one love.
- 31:04Speaker 1: All right, one time, one time. All right, one love, Buck.
- 31:06Speaker 1: All right, there we go. That's Buck joining us on,
- 31:08Speaker 1: Brenton Buckner joining us on the Mac and Bone Show.
- 31:13Speaker 2: The Buck Naked Tooth Podcast, it's him and Noah McLary.
- 31:15Speaker 2: They do some cool stuff, man. I see it all
- 31:17Speaker 2: the time on YouTube. They had the former wife of
- 31:21Speaker 2: the late Bobby Phils, Kendall Phils, on recently.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Oh, man.
- 31:24Speaker 2: She was really entertaining and talking about... you know, as
- 31:28Speaker 2: a millionaire woman navigating the dating world in 2026. There's
- 31:31Speaker 2: a lot of cool, interesting stuff they're doing there with
- 31:34Speaker 2: Larry and Bob.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Check it out on YouTube. That's pretty sweet. That's pretty sweet.
- 31:38Speaker 1: All right, let's go from one Charlotte legend, Brenton Buckner,
- 31:41Speaker 1: to a just developing, growing legend, Fitty, Aloysius, Marlo in
- 31:47Speaker 1: the house. Fitty, what's going on over there, baby? fitting.
- 32:02Speaker 3: Thank you, Mac.
- 32:03Speaker 7: This update brought to you by the H & S

- 33:46Speaker 8: Random crap. Random crap. Mac and Bone talk random crap. Random,
- 33:52Speaker 8: random crap. Random crap. Random crap.
- 33:59Speaker 1: What the deuce?
- 34:00Speaker 2: Oh, crap.
- 34:01Speaker 5: Oh, crap.
- 34:01Speaker 1: We stink like a baby's blowout infested diaper. They talk
- 34:06Speaker 1: about crap that is random.
- 34:08Speaker 2: It's the Queen City's favorite born in tandem.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Mac and Bone. Random crap. Mac and Bone. All right.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Shout out to Smoke Ludwig for supplying me with Tony
- 34:22Speaker 1: Stewart on Dirty Mo Media talking about his dirty fire
- 34:25Speaker 1: suit back in 2004. He won a race at the
- 34:29Speaker 1: Glen after a situation in his draws. Smoke Ludwig said
- 34:33Speaker 1: this will literally make the segment Random Crap tomorrow. So, Smoke,
- 34:37Speaker 1: good producing, baby. How about that? Good producing. Finally, someone
- 34:40Speaker 1: steps up around here. Before we get to that hilarious tale, though,
- 34:43Speaker 1: from Tony Stewart, let me start bone in Iowa. This
- 34:47Speaker 1: was after the Iowa-Iowa State game, where a sorority leader
- 34:55Speaker 1: from Iowa, Justine Rands, apparently, Bone, had some drinks in
- 35:01Speaker 1: her system on game day, as many college students will do.
- 35:05Speaker 1: She smelled of booze. She was slurring her speech and
- 35:08Speaker 1: had bloodshot watery eyes. This is what the police said, Bone,
- 35:12Speaker 1: in their police report. Why was Justine, the sorority leader, arrested, Bone?
- 35:17Speaker 1: She went for a little frozen yogurt at Yotopia, the
- 35:22Speaker 1: number one fro-yo spot in Iowa City, and she peed
- 35:27Speaker 1: all over the floor of this establishment. That's not the
- 35:29Speaker 1: topping they offer. She has been arrested in Iowa City.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Oh, we were doing well there, man. I mean, all right,
- 35:37Speaker 2: she's inebriated, a little yogurt. But then, you know, you
- 35:42Speaker 2: can't pee on things. These are the things that you
- 35:44Speaker 2: just can't. You can simulate it during football games.
- 35:47Speaker 1: You can't even do that? No, you're right, you can't.
- 35:48Speaker 1: You can't even do that. Jeez, where can you pee
- 35:49Speaker 1: these days?
- 35:51Speaker 3: Days.
- 35:51Speaker 1: You can't fake or real P in college, in college
- 35:53Speaker 1: football circles. These are the things they don't show you
- 35:58Speaker 1: on all those like reality sorority behind the scenes of
- 36:01Speaker 1: the sorority shows. This is what they don't show you.
- 36:04Speaker 1: The sorority leader taking a number one on the floor
- 36:07Speaker 1: of a Froyo joint.
- 36:07Speaker 2: You know how they air commercials, Mac, every game for
- 36:10Speaker 2: each college, I'll get one like the university of Iowa.
- 36:13Speaker 1: There's the global leader in blank, blank, blank. Blah, blah, blah.
- 36:17Speaker 2: They don't show you Iowa. You're home for yogurt, chops,
- 36:21Speaker 2: and urination. Go to Iowa.edu. That's not making the Big
- 36:26Speaker 2: Ten Network ad.
- 36:27Speaker 1: It's not, no. That is definitely not doing that. So, Bone,
- 36:30Speaker 1: what do you think of all this hubbub about Instagram
- 36:34Speaker 1: influencer Alex Earle and her big– social media post where
- 36:40Speaker 1: it shows Las Vegas and the song Fernando, and everybody
- 36:45Speaker 1: now thinks she's dating Fernando Mendoza. Are you buying this, Bo?
- 36:49Speaker 2: Is there more to it than just that? Was there
- 36:53Speaker 2: stuff leading up to that? I need to dig a
- 36:55Speaker 2: little further into it. I thought that was all they
- 36:58Speaker 2: were basing it on. Fernando, how do I put this?
- 37:00Speaker 2: I love Fernando, and I'm protective of Fernando. He seems
- 37:04Speaker 2: back a little too... A little too nerdy for dating
- 37:08Speaker 2: women right now, Fernando? He's more into his LinkedIn and
- 37:11Speaker 2: his Legos. Is he mature enough for a woman that's
- 37:14Speaker 2: going to be a little bit wild?
- 37:16Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. Yeah, she is bad news for him. Fernando,
- 37:19Speaker 1: you go to a local church. Uncle Kirk will bring
- 37:23Speaker 1: you for dinner. Yeah, you have Uncle Kirk take you
- 37:25Speaker 1: to church, and you go find a nice woman there.
- 37:27Speaker 1: All right. Because this woman, all she wants to do
- 37:29Speaker 1: bone is get attention any way she can. So if
- 37:32Speaker 1: she was trying to get her paws on Fernando Mendoza,
- 37:35Speaker 1: I would not approve either. And I believe it is
- 37:37Speaker 1: just some sort of PR play. And yeah, it doesn't
- 37:40Speaker 1: seem like there's, I don't even think it's happening. It
- 37:43Speaker 1: doesn't even seem like there's evidence. And by the way,
- 37:45Speaker 1: the reason why this got such big play on all
- 37:48Speaker 1: the sports blogs is because she had a fling with
- 37:51Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Tom Brady is essentially one of Fernando's bosses
- 37:56Speaker 1: with the Raiders.
- 37:57Speaker 8: Awkward.
- 37:58Speaker 1: You know what I mean? That's what people are talking about. Yeah. Anyway,
- 38:02Speaker 1: I'm sure Fernando just dying to hear our advice on women, Bone.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Fernando and Fitty want to lean on us for women advice. Yeah,
- 38:09Speaker 1: here's the article. She's just trying to make Tom Brady
- 38:11Speaker 1: jealous with his quarterback. Oh, is that the theory? Yeah.
- 38:14Speaker 8: Oh.
- 38:15Speaker 1: I mean, she should go get a dang QB that's
- 38:18Speaker 1: a little younger, though, shouldn't she, for God's sakes?
- 38:20Speaker 3: Yes.
- 38:20Speaker 1: I mean, he's old news, man. I will say this.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Brady is a commentator this year. You can tell he's
- 38:26Speaker 1: trying to add personality. He had the old P-missile thing
- 38:29Speaker 1: he said. Of course, he swore, you know, by mistake.
- 38:32Speaker 1: But this past week, Justin Herbert throws a pick, and
- 38:34Speaker 1: he says, oh, that throw was a big old meatball sub. Like,
- 38:38Speaker 1: he's trying to have actual personality now. I like it.
- 38:41Speaker 2: He's become much better the last two years. Yeah, I
- 38:44Speaker 2: don't think you can deny that. From where he started
- 38:45Speaker 2: year one, when he didn't even know when to speak,
- 38:48Speaker 2: to now. Yeah, I'm never going to be a huge
- 38:50Speaker 2: Tom Brady fan for various reasons. But, no, he's far
- 38:55Speaker 2: back from the worst broadcaster out there. By the way,
- 38:58Speaker 2: shout out to Mark Schwereth.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Just FYI. Oh, Brady, you way above stink on our
- 39:05Speaker 1: broadcast rankings. I don't want you to know that.
- 39:07Speaker 2: No, he's come a long, long way the last few years.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Big time. Let's see. All right, so the New York Times,
- 39:14Speaker 1: Panther talk coming up top of the hour now as
- 39:16Speaker 1: we talk about some fun offbeat stuff to make us
- 39:19Speaker 1: forget Panther injuries. The New York Times put out this
- 39:22Speaker 1: list that has gotten big play on social media, the
- 39:26Speaker 1: 100 best TV shows of the 21st century. So you
- 39:30Speaker 1: were saying, Bone, it's all shows that have started in
- 39:33Speaker 1: the year 2000 or later.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it could not be a show that started in
- 39:37Speaker 2: the 90s and ran into the... 21st century they had
- 39:40Speaker 2: to start in so for example friends crossed over that
- 39:45Speaker 2: would not make this one yeah they had to start
- 39:47Speaker 2: sopranos crossed over a lot of people were mad about
- 39:49Speaker 2: that survivor i think is the oldest one on that
- 39:52Speaker 2: was exactly year 2000 it was it was so breaking
- 39:55Speaker 2: bad is number one i love this for this list
- 39:57Speaker 2: this is my that is my favorite all-time tv show
- 40:00Speaker 2: that that's number one and deservedly so as i have
- 40:03Speaker 2: watched that in the last uh year.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Followed by The Wire, Mad Men, Succession, and something called
- 40:10Speaker 1: Fleabag that I have never heard of in my life,
- 40:12Speaker 1: to be honest with you.
- 40:13Speaker 2: That's what the ladies used to call Fitty when he
- 40:15Speaker 2: was single. Is that the Fitty Doc? Is that what
- 40:18Speaker 2: that is out there? I don't want people calling him
- 40:21Speaker 2: Fleabag now.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Stop that. Game of Thrones 6, Veep 7, a show
- 40:24Speaker 1: you and I both liked, 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm 9. Hell,
- 40:28Speaker 1: I'd put it higher, but that's just me. And Atlanta,
- 40:31Speaker 1: I never watched that one. The Office is 11. What
- 40:35Speaker 1: stuck out about this list to you other than us
- 40:38Speaker 1: both approving of Breaking Bad being the number one show?
- 40:41Speaker 2: Breaking Bad, number one. I've watched a number of those shows.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Arrested Development is 12. That is not one. that I've
- 40:49Speaker 2: watched in full, although I do celebrate Jason Bateman, so
- 40:52Speaker 2: I probably should watch that in full. Friday Night Lights
- 40:55Speaker 2: is 14. We can't go through all 100. I will
- 40:58Speaker 2: say the very first thing I thought of was where
- 41:03Speaker 2: the Sons of Anarchy fall in the top 100. And
- 41:06Speaker 2: I read the comments and I realized a lot of
- 41:09Speaker 2: people were thinking the same thing. How in the world
- 41:12Speaker 2: did Sons of Anarchy not make the top 100 since
- 41:14Speaker 2: the year 2000? I don't know if it's an oversight.
- 41:18Speaker 2: I have no idea how Sons of Anarchy did not
- 41:23Speaker 2: make it. Also, Mac, Chappelle's show was 58. And Key
- 41:27Speaker 2: and Peele was 29. I don't think that's right. I
- 41:32Speaker 2: put Chappelle's show above Key and Peele. I don't know
- 41:33Speaker 2: how they're separated by that much. Chappelle's show was absolutely. Now,
- 41:37Speaker 2: I never really watched much of Key and Peele.
- 41:39Speaker 1: I definitely saw the old three-pump Selly episode, Boney, over
- 41:44Speaker 1: and over again. But, yeah, I was a big stand
- 41:47Speaker 1: for Chappelle's show. I was so sad, Bone, when Dave
- 41:49Speaker 1: went a little cuckoo there for a while and the
- 41:51Speaker 1: show disbanded. But, yeah, Chappelle's show to me should be
- 41:54Speaker 1: top 20. You know?
- 41:56Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 41:56Speaker 1: But full disclosure, I think I've only watched like 25
- 41:59Speaker 1: of these 100 shows.
- 42:01Speaker 2: Full disclosure. Yeah, there's someone there I have no idea
- 42:04Speaker 2: what they even... Like, we saw Fleabag at number five and...
- 42:08Speaker 2: I saw about 25 as well. The show that's trending
- 42:12Speaker 2: the most now for new shows that's already 36 is
- 42:17Speaker 2: The Pit on HBO, which I watched. So that just
- 42:20Speaker 2: came out. It's only ran a couple seasons. And for
- 42:22Speaker 2: that to be number 36, that tells you how good
- 42:25Speaker 2: that show is.
- 42:25Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting.
- 42:26Speaker 2: That is an unbelievable show, by the way.
- 42:28Speaker 1: That's interesting. I'm so glad to see Succession up there
- 42:31Speaker 1: at number four. Breaking Bad and Succession to me might
- 42:37Speaker 1: be The two greatest TV shows for me. Sopranos is
- 42:41Speaker 1: right up there as well.
- 42:42Speaker 2: They did was Better Call Saul lower than a lot
- 42:45Speaker 2: of people do. It was 27. I admittedly, I didn't
- 42:48Speaker 2: really get into Better Call Saul as much as Breaking Bad.
- 42:50Speaker 1: I've watched better. I was a huge Breaking Bad fan.
- 42:53Speaker 1: I watched Better Call Saul twice, Fitty. Got stuck in
- 42:56Speaker 1: the middle of season two both times. It feels so slow. Now,
- 42:59Speaker 1: everybody says it picks up at the end of season
- 43:02Speaker 1: two and the beginning of season three. I just haven't
- 43:05Speaker 1: been able to break through to that point.
- 43:07Speaker 7: That's a long time to get invested to get the hook, right?
- 43:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:11Speaker 7: Like, there's certain shows that maybe take until episode five
- 43:13Speaker 7: or six to get there.
- 43:15Speaker 1: You're talking almost two full seasons.
- 43:16Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
- 43:17Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know if I need
- 43:18Speaker 1: to restart where I was and just kind of power through,
- 43:20Speaker 1: because apparently there are some people that think it's as
- 43:23Speaker 1: good as Breaking Bad once it gets rolling. That's what
- 43:24Speaker 1: Walker Mail told me. Does he?
- 43:26Speaker 2: Okay. I mean, a lot of us, it appears like
- 43:27Speaker 2: in the top 10, but it's lower on here. By
- 43:29Speaker 2: the way, this was a poll of various TV executives and...
- 43:33Speaker 2: This wasn't just the New York Times. This was a
- 43:36Speaker 2: kind of like the Jeremy Fowler polls, execs in football. Also,
- 43:41Speaker 2: by the way, Mac, there's a show called The Leftovers.
- 43:45Speaker 2: They're a number.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Where did it go?
- 43:47Speaker 2: I will. Number 25. That is about Darren Gant eating
- 43:50Speaker 2: leftovers for 45 straight days after Thanksgiving.
- 43:55Speaker 1: Speaking of not watching things, I know I don't watch
- 43:57Speaker 1: a lot of movies I should watch. Darren Gant confessing
- 44:00Speaker 1: on Ask the Old Guy on Panthers.com he's never seen
- 44:03Speaker 1: Remember the Titans. How the heck you never say remember
- 44:06Speaker 1: the Titans? That's blasphemy.
- 44:07Speaker 2: It's one of the most shocking misses maybe in Dare
- 44:11Speaker 2: Again history.
- 44:12Speaker 4: God.
- 44:12Speaker 1: All right, so here's what we'll do, Bone, because we
- 44:15Speaker 1: do the time constraints. On our way back in, you
- 44:18Speaker 1: will hear Tony Stewart on Dirty Mo Media recounting the
- 44:21Speaker 1: day he pooped his draws and still won the dang race.
- 44:26Speaker 1: It's freaking legendary. You'll hear that coming up next, and
- 44:29Speaker 1: then we'll get into the Panther conversation. Can we win
- 44:32Speaker 1: this Lions game despite the injuries?
