Transcript
- 0:16Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. I mean, everywhere I look on
- 0:21Speaker 1: the text line, somebody says, Mac, you misspoke. Oh, you guys,
- 0:26Speaker 1: are these all Mrs.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Mac's burners? I mean, Mrs.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Mac is the only one that corrects me with this
- 0:32Speaker 1: kind of quickness and proficiency bone.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Someone said they feel bad for the mop because it's
- 0:37Speaker 3: just getting worn out. We may have to buy a
- 0:39Speaker 3: new one at some point. Oh, the mop has to
- 0:41Speaker 3: be new that we've run out of detergent. I mean,
- 0:43Speaker 3: I've run us clear out of detergent here to clean
- 0:46Speaker 3: up all the aisles. I've also, like, you know, not
- 0:48Speaker 3: that I'll prone to mistakes every couple times a year.
- 0:53Speaker 2: I've also just lost track. A couple times a decade.
- 0:55Speaker 3: I'm also not doing a good job of figuring out
- 0:58Speaker 3: when Mac even made mistakes anymore.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it's definitely apparent Bone is not hearing any
- 1:02Speaker 1: of the words that are said incorrectly. Bo, what are
- 1:07Speaker 1: you doing over there, Boan? Are you working on AI
- 1:10Speaker 1: costumes for Murphy? You have put Murphy this week in
- 1:13Speaker 1: an LSU helmet and jersey and shoulder pads and in
- 1:18Speaker 1: a tuxedo.
- 1:21Speaker 2: JJ will be with us here in one second.
- 1:23Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, sorry.
- 1:24Speaker 2: JJ, JJ.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I put the LSU football AI on Facebook yesterday, Mac.
- 1:28Speaker 3: The amount of people... This is Facebook. The amount of
- 1:31Speaker 3: people that thought that that was a real football costume.
- 1:34Speaker 3: I can't believe it. Including our own Pam and Traffic.
- 1:37Speaker 3: I don't think they understand. One guy said, I know
- 1:40Speaker 3: AI when I see it. I'm not trying to fool
- 1:43Speaker 3: you there, buddy. At least that guy knew it, though.
- 1:45Speaker 3: There are other people who think you put him in
- 1:47Speaker 3: an LSU doggy football helmet and shoulder pads and jersey.
- 1:51Speaker 3: All I said was Wayne Kiffin crossed the line this time.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Oh, God. All right, anyway, let's bring in J.J. Jansen.
- 1:58Speaker 1: We didn't bother J.J. to listen to all of this noise.
- 2:02Speaker 1: We bothered J.J. on his day off. to talk about
- 2:07Speaker 1: the end of training camp and look forward to week
- 2:09Speaker 1: one and talk about lord knows what else on the
- 2:12Speaker 1: show jj jansen america's long snapper the panthers iron man
- 2:17Speaker 1: joins us on the mac and bone show for a
- 2:19Speaker 1: little snapchats what's up jj how you feeling man.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Look, I'm, I'm having a hard time keeping track of
- 2:26Speaker 5: who LSU is recruiting and not recruiting. So all things
- 2:29Speaker 5: are possible. You couldn't have convinced me that wasn't AI.
- 2:32Speaker 5: They're getting everybody NFL players, local celebrity dogs. I mean,
- 2:37Speaker 5: the list is endless and I'm sure there's going to
- 2:39Speaker 5: end in a lawsuit anyway. So all good.
- 2:42Speaker 3:
- 2:42Speaker 3:
- 2:43Speaker 3:
- 2:44Speaker 3:
- 2:44Speaker 3: .
- 2:45Speaker 2:
- 2:46Speaker 2:
- 2:46Speaker 2:
- 2:47Speaker 2: .
- 2:47Speaker 5:
- 2:48Speaker 5:
- 2:49Speaker 5:
- 2:49Speaker 5:
- 2:50Speaker 5:
- 2:50Speaker 5: possibly going
- 2:52Speaker 5: to go back there, too. It would be an unbelievable
- 2:55Speaker 5: feat on so many different levels.
- 2:56Speaker 3: If they get pistol feedback, that would take the cake.
- 3:00Speaker 2: That would really be rolling.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I'd have to tip my hat to Will Wade if
- 3:04Speaker 1: he could make that happen. JJ, what do you think
- 3:08Speaker 1: about that, about these guys being in NFL camps, being
- 3:14Speaker 1: in NFL in the preseason in some cases, and being
- 3:17Speaker 1: able to go back to college?
- 3:18Speaker 2: How does that hit you?
- 3:21Speaker 5: We've clearly lost the plot of this whole thing.
- 3:23Speaker 4: I mean, that's, it is, it is.
- 3:25Speaker 5: Beyond my brain's ability to comprehend what's going on. The
- 3:31Speaker 5: reality is college football is now just pro football. And
- 3:36Speaker 5: I think that's not good for college. amateurism. I don't
- 3:41Speaker 5: think that's good for any of these kids. I think
- 3:43Speaker 5: it's a really bad look. And again, it's trickling itself
- 3:47Speaker 5: all the way down to the high school levels and
- 3:49Speaker 5: to the youth levels, because now the sport becomes exclusively
- 3:54Speaker 5: the end all be all of getting paid and all
- 3:56Speaker 5: those things. I'm very in favor of players getting paid,
- 3:59Speaker 5: especially in sports like football that are violent and physical.
- 4:02Speaker 5: Like I'm all for it. But the reality is now
- 4:04Speaker 5: we've got 24 and 25 year old professional athletes going
- 4:08Speaker 5: back to college and And those spots aren't going to 17,
- 4:10Speaker 5: 18 and 19 year olds. I think it's ridiculous. I
- 4:13Speaker 5: understand why teams are doing it. I understand why Lane
- 4:16Speaker 5: Kiffin wants to get the best players available. I think
- 4:19Speaker 5: we've lost the plot, and it's really, really sad from
- 4:21Speaker 5: my perspective.
- 4:22Speaker 3: JJ, on the college side of this, you can speak
- 4:25Speaker 3: from the pro angle of the discussions guys are having,
- 4:28Speaker 3: but how much does that mess with team dynamic on
- 4:31Speaker 3: the college side when these guys are all working their
- 4:34Speaker 3: tails off for a very long time? They're probably promised
- 4:36Speaker 3: spots along the way, and then all of a sudden
- 4:39Speaker 3: guys that were in NFL camps or whatever– They're coming
- 4:42Speaker 3: back and taking some of their time.
- 4:44Speaker 5: Probably not the best person to ask. It's been so
- 4:47Speaker 5: long since I was in college. So nothing looks the,
- 4:49Speaker 5: the same of what I, what I went to, but,
- 4:52Speaker 5: but yeah. All right.
- 4:53Speaker 2: All right.
- 4:53Speaker 5: JJ.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Well, Lou Holtz allow this.
- 4:55Speaker 5: That's right. Lou Holtz probably would have gone all for it.
- 4:58Speaker 5: I mean, he had been, he'd been fine. That guy
- 5:00Speaker 5: was about winning. So I understand why teams are doing it.
- 5:04Speaker 5: I get it. Get the best players in your building.
- 5:07Speaker 5: But the whole idea of rules around various sports is
- 5:11Speaker 5: to protect that sport from professionals. If professional football players
- 5:16Speaker 5: could play high school football, what stops them from going
- 5:19Speaker 5: to Charlotte Latin or Providence Day or Huff? Like, oh,
- 5:23Speaker 5: we'll just get some high school. We'll just get some
- 5:25Speaker 5: pro athletes to go play high school football. Obviously, we
- 5:28Speaker 5: need to protect these various sports. from, from adults and professionals.
- 5:33Speaker 5: It should be for college students. That's what it should
- 5:37Speaker 5: be for. And yes, we should pay them and, and,
- 5:40Speaker 5: and players should get compensated for the risks and, and
- 5:43Speaker 5: the work that they're putting in. I'm all for it.
- 5:45Speaker 5: But if we're not protecting college sports, high school sports,
- 5:49Speaker 5: like we're not protecting that from others.
- 5:52Speaker 2: I don't know what we're doing.
- 5:53Speaker 5: We've lost the plot and I'm not a fan of it.
- 5:55Speaker 5: And it bothers me greatly. Now I understand LSU is position.
- 6:00Speaker 5: I'm going to be the first one through the door
- 6:02Speaker 5: because I'm going to get the best players. And if
- 6:04Speaker 5: you tell me it's not allowed, then it's not allowed.
- 6:06Speaker 5: But right now they're winning lawsuits and it's happening. And again,
- 6:10Speaker 5: I think it's a terrible thing for amateur sports. Again,
- 6:14Speaker 5: it's just going to trickle down to high school.
- 6:16Speaker 2: It'll come.
- 6:17Speaker 1: And the next plot twist is the SEC has gone
- 6:20Speaker 1: to federal court and sued LSU there. So this thing
- 6:25Speaker 1: is far from over, far from over. JJ, your appearance
- 6:30Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter on the TV coverage of the
- 6:33Speaker 1: Panther game last week.
- 6:34Speaker 2: I got to be honest with you.
- 6:35Speaker 1: JJ might've been the highlight of the entire game for me.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Those games are slogs. Those last preseason game, how much
- 6:43Speaker 1: fun did you have? Uh, did you have on there?
- 6:47Speaker 5: Look, we had a blast. Obviously I know, you know,
- 6:49Speaker 5: I play with Jake, I play with Steve. I know
- 6:51Speaker 5: niche really, really well. And you guys know, I love broadcasting.
- 6:55Speaker 5: I love bringing the games to the fans. And that
- 6:57Speaker 5: was a really cool opportunity for me to be able to,
- 7:00Speaker 5: I thought I was going to get to do a
- 7:02Speaker 5: little more analyst work. It did turn into the roast
- 7:04Speaker 5: of JJ, which I was, I should have probably known
- 7:07Speaker 5: it was going to go there. But that was, so
- 7:12Speaker 5: that was probably a rookie mistake on my part, thinking
- 7:15Speaker 5: that I could, you know, just line up and call
- 7:17Speaker 5: the game with, with the fellows and a nation. And,
- 7:22Speaker 5: but it was, it was an absolute blast Houston, Houston's
- 7:26Speaker 5: offense and our defense obliged and getting a nice long drive.
- 7:30Speaker 5: But again, I love that. That's my, that's where I
- 7:33Speaker 5: probably come alive as much as anything else is, is
- 7:37Speaker 5: broadcasting and bringing that stuff to the fans. And so
- 7:41Speaker 5: that was a really, really special opportunity and fun. We had,
- 7:45Speaker 5: we had some great, we had some great fun and
- 7:47Speaker 5: look at the end, we got the roughing the long snapper.
- 7:50Speaker 5: So it all worked out well. And as my wife
- 7:52Speaker 5: told me, Everybody in Charlotte now knows the size of
- 7:55Speaker 5: your hands. So that was its own element, too. But
- 7:58Speaker 5: we got everything accomplished. For those who saw the broadcast,
- 8:00Speaker 5: they know.
- 8:00Speaker 2: What I'm talking about. Those are some damn oven mitts, baby.
- 8:03Speaker 2: That's impressive right there.
- 8:04Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Hamburger helper.
- 8:06Speaker 5: I need someone to compliment me.
- 8:07Speaker 2: That's what I was needing. Like hockey, hockey style.
- 8:10Speaker 5: Goalie hands.
- 8:10Speaker 2: You know what they say about big hands, y'all. Good handshakes.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Big gloves. Oh, yeah.
- 8:16Speaker 3: JJ, I probably should have asked you this off the air,
- 8:18Speaker 3: but we've asked on the air and texters are asking us.
- 8:22Speaker 5: We jumped the shark a long time ago. Go ahead, bud.
- 8:26Speaker 2: What happened to car talk at camp this year?
- 8:30Speaker 5: Card Talk is on a brief hiatus.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 8:34Speaker 5: There's some layers that go into that. I'm hoping to
- 8:36Speaker 5: bring it back. We will see. You know what? And
- 8:38Speaker 5: this is so funny that you bring this up. You
- 8:40Speaker 5: are the, and I'm not making this up, the seventh
- 8:42Speaker 5: person this week to ask me about Card Talk. A
- 8:45Speaker 5: bunch of teammates, some people. we need to do it
- 8:49Speaker 5: for the, we need to do it for the people.
- 8:50Speaker 5: So I'll, I'm going to work very diligently on getting
- 8:53Speaker 5: that back around. So I appreciate you saying it, but again,
- 8:56Speaker 5: it's sort of like, everyone's kind of talking to you
- 8:57Speaker 5: that that's, that's seven times in the last five or
- 9:00Speaker 5: six days.
- 9:02Speaker 2: We talked to Nick Scott last week. He wants it.
- 9:04Speaker 2: He wants to go on.
- 9:05Speaker 5: He wants He was one of the seven. He hasn't
- 9:08Speaker 5: been on yet. And so he's, he wants to rekindle it.
- 9:11Speaker 5: Even if it's a one episode season kind of puts
- 9:14Speaker 5: you where his mind's at.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Also, we, we talked to Aaron Hall yesterday. Unbelievable talker.
- 9:19Speaker 3: He might be a good car dog guest.
- 9:20Speaker 2: At some point.
- 9:22Speaker 5: Aaron Hall was, it was easily in my top two
- 9:24Speaker 5: for rookie singing at training camp this year. We were struggling.
- 9:28Speaker 5: I forgot what the song was, but Sam Martin and
- 9:32Speaker 5: I were drafting our rosters based on how kind of
- 9:35Speaker 5: like a fantasy draft. Like as guys were, we're going,
- 9:38Speaker 5: we were sort of, we were sort of drafting everyone.
- 9:40Speaker 5: Aaron Hall was in the top two. I think he
- 9:42Speaker 5: was my second pick. Jackson to watch saying backstreet boys.
- 9:47Speaker 5: That was obviously a top, a top spot. Aaron was
- 9:50Speaker 5: right there with them. So that has no shock. Duke man,
- 9:54Speaker 5: you know what I'm talking about? Like Duke men, they just,
- 9:55Speaker 5: they know how to handle them.
- 9:57Speaker 2: He's a chef. He's a singer.
- 9:58Speaker 1: He's a Duke guy. He's my dream guy. Dream guy. What,
- 10:03Speaker 1: what did free, how did Freeling do?
- 10:07Speaker 5: I don't, he was less notable.
- 10:09Speaker 2: He was less notable.
- 10:10Speaker 5: He did okay. I, I, I want to say she
- 10:15Speaker 5: did maybe Chris Stapleton, but I don't think the volume
- 10:19Speaker 5: ever got off of one. So you had to like
- 10:22Speaker 5: really lean into here and that. So he gave, he
- 10:24Speaker 5: gave his best effort. Everyone, everyone said he tried his best.
- 10:29Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, we probably talked about it. What,
- 10:33Speaker 3: what did XL saying a couple of years ago? Did
- 10:35Speaker 3: he get up there and sing?
- 10:37Speaker 5: I don't even remember. That's too long ago for my brain.
- 10:39Speaker 2: That is a hell of a question.
- 10:41Speaker 5: Probably like Morgan Wallen or something.
- 10:44Speaker 2: That had to be country. Had to be. All right,
- 10:47Speaker 2: JJ's with us here.
- 10:48Speaker 1: A little final Snapchat before the boys get the regular
- 10:52Speaker 1: season going against the Bears next week. All right, so
- 10:56Speaker 1: we got some Ask JJ questions. Feel free to send
- 10:59Speaker 1: them in.
- 11:01Speaker 2: 704-5709-610.
- 11:02Speaker 1: This guy asks a great question. Says, Mac, when offensive
- 11:06Speaker 1: guys look at their opponent like the Bears, they're looking
- 11:10Speaker 1: at the defense and scheme and players and all that.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Defense is looking at the offensive personnel and scheme. What
- 11:17Speaker 1: does JJ look at on film from the Bears to
- 11:21Speaker 1: get ready for next week's game?
- 11:23Speaker 2: Like, is there.
- 11:25Speaker 1: film study of what the, you know, special teams unit does.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Like, how do you do that?
- 11:31Speaker 5: I appreciate the question. I don't mean to laugh. We're
- 11:33Speaker 5: studying the other team. We're doing, we're doing work.
- 11:38Speaker 2: I think he's just checking to make sure you're doing something.
- 11:41Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:42Speaker 4: Don't worry.
- 11:42Speaker 5: We're, we're, we're hard at work. Tracy Smith is on
- 11:45Speaker 5: top of it already and we're already building the game plan,
- 11:48Speaker 5: but I appreciate the check-in. Look, one of the toughest
- 11:51Speaker 5: parts about special teams is the guy, you don't really
- 11:55Speaker 5: know who they're going to show up with week one.
- 11:57Speaker 5: Like if, if, if we're going against the Chicago's offense,
- 12:00Speaker 5: you know, Caleb Williams is going to be there. You know,
- 12:02Speaker 5: the play color is the same, you know, the offensive
- 12:05Speaker 5: line is the same. You've seen stuff on tape, but
- 12:07Speaker 5: you know who the people are. And on special teams,
- 12:09Speaker 5: it gets a little tricky because that's the bottom of
- 12:12Speaker 5: the roster that gets turned. Now everyone has that advantage.
- 12:15Speaker 5: Like When we show up for Chicago, you're not going
- 12:18Speaker 5: to know what our punt team looks like because we've
- 12:20Speaker 5: had a lot of roster turnover. You're not going to
- 12:22Speaker 5: know what our kick returner looks like because we were
- 12:25Speaker 5: not going to necessarily share all of that information and
- 12:27Speaker 5: those people change. So what you do is spend a
- 12:30Speaker 5: lot of time working on is who are the highlighted
- 12:32Speaker 5: special teams players. We all know who those guys are. Like,
- 12:37Speaker 5: for instance, forever in Chicago, Daniel Hardy, number 92, was
- 12:41Speaker 5: always one of the premier guys. So you always know
- 12:43Speaker 5: who those are. And then their special teams coach, Richard Tytower,
- 12:46Speaker 5: he's got a personality as well. Is he aggressive? Is
- 12:50Speaker 5: he conservative? Is there an opportunity for a big return?
- 12:54Speaker 5: Do you want to rush this punter? Do you want to?
- 12:57Speaker 5: Do you want to set up more returns? That stuff
- 12:59Speaker 5: is still going into it, but the individual matchups are
- 13:01Speaker 5: hard in week one. You see more crazy and special
- 13:04Speaker 5: teams in the first two weeks than basically the rest
- 13:07Speaker 5: of the season combined, because there's so many new people.
- 13:10Speaker 5: It's like, we are starting our special team season in
- 13:13Speaker 5: week one where maybe offense and defense was starting at
- 13:16Speaker 5: six weeks ago. So even though we're working through all that,
- 13:18Speaker 5: there's just so many people. So that's kind of the
- 13:21Speaker 5: fun part of special teams in the first couple of
- 13:23Speaker 5: weeks is But yes, we are working. We are trying,
- 13:25Speaker 5: we are trying to understand who the people are that
- 13:28Speaker 5: we're going against their various size and speed and techniques.
- 13:31Speaker 5: But in terms of, Hey, we know what they're going
- 13:34Speaker 5: to do on special teams. Not really true. Cause it's,
- 13:37Speaker 5: it's a brand new ball game. Every start of every
- 13:39Speaker 5: NFL season.
- 13:40Speaker 3: JJ, I'm working on two projects right now in my
- 13:43Speaker 3: spare time. I'm trying to get a Texas roadhouse in Mooresville.
- 13:47Speaker 3: That's not going well yet, but I'm also now trying
- 13:51Speaker 3: to get you eventually into the Panther Hall of Honor. Now,
- 13:54Speaker 3: I know you might be thinking, oh, Would a long
- 13:57Speaker 3: snapper ever be in the Hall of Honor? You got
- 14:00Speaker 3: named captain yesterday for the fourth time.
- 14:02Speaker 2: How about that?
- 14:03Speaker 3: Only 20 players in franchise history have that four more times,
- 14:06Speaker 3: and only really team MVPs and other Hall of Honor inductees,
- 14:11Speaker 3: the greats of the greats, really, get that honor. So
- 14:14Speaker 3: I'm wondering, J.D., if there's ever a day, just based
- 14:17Speaker 3: off who you are as an individual, if they're going
- 14:20Speaker 3: to honor you there at Bank of America Stadium.
- 14:22Speaker 2: I mean that sincerely.
- 14:25Speaker 5: I appreciate it. It's a very kind thing for you
- 14:27Speaker 5: to say. I will say this. I trust you with
- 14:30Speaker 5: my Hall of Honor candidacy than I would Mack with
- 14:32Speaker 5: my contract negotiation. That is an important thing that I
- 14:37Speaker 5: do want to make special note of. Do I think
- 14:40Speaker 5: I'll ever end up there? No. I think that there's
- 14:42Speaker 5: a lot of guys... that have done unbelievable things for
- 14:47Speaker 5: our organization that still aren't up there. It's all part
- 14:50Speaker 5: of that process that, you know, there's a couple of
- 14:53Speaker 5: years and there's a, there's a lot of levels to it.
- 14:56Speaker 5: Like I'm excited to see Cam's name up there and
- 14:58Speaker 5: Luke's name up there and Greg, and there's a lot
- 15:01Speaker 5: of names, Ryan Khalil and Jonathan Stewart. Like there's a
- 15:04Speaker 5: lot of names that need to go up there. But
- 15:07Speaker 5: I do appreciate your kind words. And my kids, we
- 15:12Speaker 5: get the biggest kick out of that ever came to be.
- 15:14Speaker 5: But I, again, I w I will not be holding
- 15:16Speaker 5: my breath, but if you want much like Darren Gann
- 15:18Speaker 5: is in charge of Luke Keeley getting into the hall
- 15:20Speaker 5: of fame and was successful, although I mean, look, it
- 15:23Speaker 5: did take him two whole years to get them in.
- 15:25Speaker 2: That's Darren's fault, not Luke's.
- 15:27Speaker 5: I will say, if you want to be in charge
- 15:29Speaker 5: of that candidacy, I will gladly turn that over to you.
- 15:31Speaker 5: Let me know how that goes, what you need from me.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Knowing how we operate, I could mess this up and
- 15:36Speaker 3: get you honored at a Texas Roadhouse.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Instead of getting you on the Hall of Honor.
- 15:41Speaker 1: That might be likely. That sounds like a possibility. Long
- 15:45Speaker 1: snapper night at the Roadhouse.
- 15:46Speaker 3: That's Mac's dream to have his name up in the
- 15:48Speaker 3: lights at Texas Roadhouse.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Let's do one more. One more. They long snap you
- 15:55Speaker 1: your steak to your table.
- 15:57Speaker 5: All right.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Anyway, let me hit one more. That's not as hard as.
- 16:01Speaker 5: You think it would be. That's not as hard as
- 16:03Speaker 5: you think it'd be.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. That seems tough.
- 16:08Speaker 1: 704 number says, did Bone ask with a straight face
- 16:11Speaker 1: if a long snapper's going to a hall of fame?
- 16:13Speaker 2: Now, let's not disrespect JJ, sir.
- 16:16Speaker 3: This isn't your grandpa's long snapper.
- 16:18Speaker 2: This isn't your garden variety long snapper, y'all. This is
- 16:21Speaker 2: a legend. Man, that is a legend.
- 16:23Speaker 5: Yes.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Icon. A legend as a person, right?
- 16:25Speaker 1: Icon and entertainer. You're what Cam said he was going
- 16:28Speaker 1: to be. Next week we'll talk statue, J.J.
- 16:32Speaker 5: If I'm on that arc, I am way at the
- 16:35Speaker 5: beginning of it. Cam is much further down the road.
- 16:38Speaker 5: He has turned himself into exactly that. 100%.
- 16:42Speaker 1: All right, last question here from the audience.
- 16:47Speaker 2: J.J.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Talked about that roughing the snapper call where he was
- 16:51Speaker 1: joining the TV broadcast. Why, what kind of protections do
- 16:56Speaker 1: they give you? I assumed in the trenches, they could
- 16:59Speaker 1: just bowl you over like they do the center. So
- 17:02Speaker 1: what is, what's, what are the rules on that?
- 17:04Speaker 5: We are fully protected inside the box, especially on field goal.
- 17:08Speaker 5: So basically they can't have any part of their shoulder
- 17:12Speaker 5: pads over any part of our shoulder pads. And after
- 17:17Speaker 5: the snap of the ball, they cannot hit us in
- 17:20Speaker 5: the head and neck area. How that oftentimes is officiated
- 17:24Speaker 5: is those you see there's two guys standing on the
- 17:27Speaker 5: defensive side. One of them is watching. One of them
- 17:30Speaker 5: is watching the center. Another one is watching the eligible
- 17:33Speaker 5: receivers for any holdings or pass interference. If there were
- 17:36Speaker 5: a fake, typically that penalty gets called a one of
- 17:39Speaker 5: two race. Either they see the snapper's head get kind
- 17:43Speaker 5: of hit sideways or like in the case of the game,
- 17:46Speaker 5: they watch the long snapper go head over heels backwards
- 17:49Speaker 5: and Honestly, we didn't even really hit him like watching
- 17:52Speaker 5: on film. He just went backwards and they kind of,
- 17:55Speaker 5: I've always told you guys on this broadcast, like they
- 17:58Speaker 5: officiate the grass. Officials don't usually see the play. They
- 18:02Speaker 5: see the result of the play. So in that particular case,
- 18:05Speaker 5: Austin Brinkman went backwards, head over heels. That's typically when,
- 18:09Speaker 5: what happens if you run over the center. So because
- 18:12Speaker 5: they saw that they threw the flag, it probably shouldn't
- 18:16Speaker 5: have been called. I got hit twice in the preseason
- 18:18Speaker 5: in the head and they didn't call it.
- 18:20Speaker 2: So why don't you fall back and get a call?
- 18:22Speaker 5: Make up it in the regular season.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Can you, can you fall back and get a call
- 18:26Speaker 2: for us? You know what I mean? Act a little bit.
- 18:28Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'm trying to hold up to help the guards.
- 18:31Speaker 5: Those guys are getting double.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's kind of important.
- 18:33Speaker 5: 600 guys of D-line, and I'm trying to hang in
- 18:36Speaker 5: there with them. I get run over, but I'm not just–
- 18:39Speaker 5: that is not an area for flopping for me. We've
- 18:41Speaker 5: talked about flopping before. That area is not flopping, but
- 18:44Speaker 5: after watching that particular snap, I am reassessing how much
- 18:48Speaker 5: I'm willing to flop on those field goals. Just let
- 18:51Speaker 5: everyone know, what am I getting ready for Chicago? We
- 18:54Speaker 5: are studying special teams film and working on flopping skills.
- 18:57Speaker 5: just in case. I also know the officials get a
- 19:00Speaker 5: lot of official points for throwing personal fouls. So I'm
- 19:04Speaker 5: trying to talk them into understanding, Hey, those are three points.
- 19:07Speaker 5: Just throw the flag and there's a better chance you're
- 19:09Speaker 5: calling the wild card round. So go ahead and throw
- 19:11Speaker 5: those flags all day long.
- 19:13Speaker 3: I need to, I need the text line to simmer down.
- 19:16Speaker 3: They're all telling me JJ is our grandpa's long trapper.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Stop that. Also this guy, Josh says, no, I'm sorry.
- 19:24Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 19:24Speaker 3: Josh says JJ's a generational talent, meaning he's played across
- 19:29Speaker 3: many generations of years.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I like it. That's a good sales job. Put that
- 19:32Speaker 2: on your sales pitch.
- 19:34Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, think about, think about this. Steve
- 19:37Speaker 5: was my teammate and his first season in the NFL
- 19:40Speaker 5: was in 2001. So basically just me and Steve, we've
- 19:45Speaker 5: covered all but five seasons of Panther football. Me and
- 19:48Speaker 5: John Casey covered all of them. So you get a
- 19:51Speaker 5: couple of guys in the booth. Like you, you kind of,
- 19:54Speaker 5: you're all set to go.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I like it. I like somebody, this dude says he
- 19:57Speaker 2: is the Gordie hell of long snapping. That's the bad.
- 20:00Speaker 2: That might be the nicest thing. JJ kids. It's called today.
- 20:03Speaker 2: I feel like, all right, brother. Well, Hey, you.
- 20:07Speaker 5: Can probably put Gordie Howe in the hall of honor
- 20:09Speaker 5: before you put me in. I mean, he just gets
- 20:11Speaker 5: legendary status from across sports.
- 20:13Speaker 2: All right, brother. Hey, thanks for hanging out with us.
- 20:16Speaker 2: I know it's kind of like the last.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Few days with the family before you really, you know,
- 20:21Speaker 1: get into the regular season grind. We appreciate you hanging
- 20:24Speaker 1: with us and we'll talk to you, man.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Good luck. Good luck next week and beyond till we
- 20:29Speaker 2: talk to you, man.
- 20:30Speaker 5: I appreciate it. Hey, happy football new year.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Here we are. Here we go. That's right. That's right.
- 20:35Speaker 2: That applies. No doubt. All right, brother. See you.
- 20:38Speaker 5: See you. Have a good one. Keep coming.
- 20:40Speaker 2: There you go. That is JJ Jansen, your Carolina Panthers.
- 20:44Speaker 3: When we come back here on the Mac and Bone
- 20:46Speaker 3: radio program, we talk Clemson LSU. Can Dabo and company
- 20:50Speaker 3: pull off the shocker? And who has the better chance
- 20:53Speaker 3: of a big win for the ACC, Clemson or the Ville?
- 20:58Speaker 2: Sports Radio 92.7.
- 21:13Speaker 6: I'm going to take the LSU Tigers to win this
- 21:15Speaker 6: game 27-20. And here's what's interesting. And I kind of
- 21:18Speaker 6: go back to what I said at the top. No
- 21:20Speaker 6: single number gets Dabo Sweeney under.
- 21:22Speaker 2: 40% win percentage.
- 21:24Speaker 6: He does not get run out of the building.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Not by anybody.
- 21:26Speaker 6: So take LSU and you can have the 10.5 points.
- 21:30Speaker 2: I think they win it.
- 21:31Speaker 6: I just don't know if I feel comfortable with them
- 21:33Speaker 6: running the Clemson Tigers out of the building. Because if
- 21:35Speaker 6: you look at how they've fared, they've been great at home.
- 21:38Speaker 6: 27 straight home wins against unranked opponents. They're 91-12 at
- 21:42Speaker 6: home at night since 2006. And a first-time starter in
- 21:47Speaker 6: a big game like this, walking into Tyre Stadium at
- 21:50Speaker 6: night against a defense that's built to slam the door,
- 21:53Speaker 6: is going to be tough sledding for sure.
- 21:55Speaker 2: There you go. How about that? A little old cover.
- 21:57Speaker 2: A little old cover for a little old Clemson. A
- 21:59Speaker 2: little old cover.
- 22:00Speaker 3: That's what Craig McIlroy of ESPN is predicting.
- 22:05Speaker 2: A little old Clemson. Oh, man.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Tiger fans, can you win it? Can you at least
- 22:11Speaker 1: cover it? Because if they cover it, Bone, and they
- 22:14Speaker 1: don't get embarrassed, and it's not a double-digit loss, I
- 22:18Speaker 1: feel like you can build off that a little bit, right? Like,
- 22:21Speaker 1: I don't expect Clemson to be some.
- 22:24Speaker 1: You know, they don't have to, to me, I don't
- 22:26Speaker 1: know if Clemson fans disagree. They don't have to win 10,
- 22:28Speaker 1: 11 games right now. They just need to bounce back
- 22:31Speaker 1: from last year. They need to stabilize this thing, be
- 22:34Speaker 1: in the ACC hunt. And if they play LSU in
- 22:37Speaker 1: that environment, in Vazina's second ever start, first ever road
- 22:41Speaker 1: start in that environment.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, freshman Tate Reynolds is going to
- 22:44Speaker 2: get out there on the field too.
- 22:45Speaker 1: If they can handle that environment and play the game
- 22:48Speaker 1: down to the wire, as a Clemson fan, I'd take
- 22:50Speaker 1: something from that. I'm not sure they're going to be
- 22:54Speaker 1: there for the full 60 minutes, but I don't know.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Is that weak of me to say if they did that,
- 23:00Speaker 1: if it's a one-score game at the end, that Tiger
- 23:03Speaker 1: fans should feel encouraged by it?
- 23:04Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we've got to see how it happens.
- 23:07Speaker 3: If you're Clemson, you want it even in a loss
- 23:09Speaker 3: to be much more like last year, which was 17-10,
- 23:12Speaker 3: not two years ago, against Georgia, which was just a drubbing. Yeah,
- 23:17Speaker 3: they end up in the playoffs, but that was not
- 23:20Speaker 3: a good result. You can come out of this, Mac,
- 23:23Speaker 3: with not winning, but have a good result to carry
- 23:25Speaker 3: you forward. If they win from the Clemson standpoint, that's fine,
- 23:31Speaker 3: but make sure that that result... is something you can
- 23:34Speaker 3: build off of and not something disastrous like it was Georgia.
- 23:37Speaker 3: I think it's going to be more like it was
- 23:39Speaker 3: last year. I don't think there's going to be. necessarily
- 23:42Speaker 3: a ton of points in this game. I think it
- 23:44Speaker 3: will go the under, I think. I'm with some of
- 23:47Speaker 3: the betting analysts on that. I've seen the ESPN. I
- 23:49Speaker 3: don't think it was Tyler Fulgham who we had on today.
- 23:51Speaker 3: I think it was another one. But they went under.
- 23:53Speaker 3: That was one of their picks. Hell, they had 27
- 23:55Speaker 3: total points last year in that game. LSU's offense may
- 23:57Speaker 3: take a little bit of time to get it going here.
- 24:00Speaker 3: A lot of moving parts. Nine transfer wide receivers.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Crazy.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Now the running backs are back, but their running game
- 24:05Speaker 1: wasn't great last year. So could Clemson stuff the running game?
- 24:09Speaker 1: And then it comes down to Leavitt. How healthy is Leavitt?
- 24:12Speaker 1: He had multiple surgeries on that foot.
- 24:15Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 24:17Speaker 1: The things I keep coming back to, Bone, for Clemson
- 24:20Speaker 1: is the environment. They are going to be insane tomorrow night.
- 24:24Speaker 1: That whole state, Bone, is us against the world. LSU
- 24:28Speaker 1: is the whole state's cause right now. And so I
- 24:32Speaker 1: think the players too. I think Lane will get the
- 24:34Speaker 1: players feeling like it's us against the world. So I
- 24:37Speaker 1: feel like Clemson, Bone, is going to face a whole
- 24:40Speaker 1: stadium of crazy Cajuns with a chip on their shoulder.
- 24:45Speaker 1: I think that's going to be a problem. Clemson's got
- 24:47Speaker 1: to run the ball. And I worry about whether they'll
- 24:49Speaker 1: run it, Bone. Last year, Clemson averaged less than four
- 24:52Speaker 1: yards a carry. I like the backs, but are they
- 24:55Speaker 1: going to run it against that LSU front, man?
- 24:59Speaker 3: The linebackers are great. Witt Weeks, Dottery Transfer from Mississippi.
- 25:05Speaker 3: How about Clemson's offensive line? All the starters gone. And
- 25:09Speaker 3: three of their starters are expected to be sophomores or freshmen.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Like in that environment, are they going to be able
- 25:15Speaker 3: to pass protect? I just I have a bad feeling
- 25:18Speaker 3: it ends up like I think Clemson hangs for a while.
- 25:20Speaker 3: I got a bad feeling it ends up being, you know,
- 25:23Speaker 3: a 10 or 13 point game, something like that.
- 25:25Speaker 2: I will say this.
- 25:25Speaker 3: We're getting some sort of epic postgame commentary from whatever coach.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Either coach, either one.
- 25:30Speaker 3: Whether it's Dabo or Kiffin, we're getting something out of that.
- 25:34Speaker 3: Because I can see Dabo saying, well, it's good to
- 25:37Speaker 3: win at Death Valley. It might be a different one,
- 25:39Speaker 3: but I'll call this one Dabo Valley.
- 25:41Speaker 2: Oh, God.
- 25:41Speaker 3: He'll say something. Or Wayne Kiffin's going to have a
- 25:45Speaker 3: message for the doubters. Monday's audio will either be something
- 25:50Speaker 3: funny that Dabo said or... Wayne Kiffin, some arrogant statement
- 25:54Speaker 3: of some sort, right?
- 25:56Speaker 2: That's what Monday might be about. That's very possible. Very possible.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Oh, this is Death Valley more like Old Dabble Valley.
- 26:03Speaker 3: I don't know what he would say. 704-570-9610. Oh, he'll
- 26:09Speaker 3: talk about the rest. We took the rest of y'all
- 26:11Speaker 3: bus down here to Baton Rouge in the Death Valley.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Pretty cool we came down here and beat an NFL team.
- 26:18Speaker 3: Does that make us 1-0 in the NFC South? I
- 26:21Speaker 3: thought Chris Collins would call this game.
- 26:24Speaker 2: 7-0-4, 5-7-0, 9-6-10.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Tiger fans, what's the expectation if you're a Tiger fan?
- 26:31Speaker 1: How about the fact that Lil' Fitty is chiming in?
- 26:34Speaker 1: Fitty's younger brother. Bold prediction. Clemson loses here by 30.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Loses to Carolina at home in Week 3, and Dabo
- 26:42Speaker 1: is fired mid-year. Lil' Fitty's got some hot takes like
- 26:46Speaker 1: his bro. Run to the family boat.
- 26:51Speaker 7: It appears little Fitty has found Papa Pitty's alcohol cabinet.
- 26:56Speaker 2: None of those three things he's predicting are going to happen.
- 26:59Speaker 2: They're not going to lose by 30.
- 27:01Speaker 7: Carolina's not winning, and Dabo's not getting fired mid-year.
- 27:04Speaker 1: I think he went 0-3 on those. But I appreciate
- 27:07Speaker 1: the hot-take effort there, though. You can't see this game, right?
- 27:10Speaker 1: We've got to get Picante up, by the way.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I'm about to call him. Okay, okay.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Somebody says, who scores more, Clemson or Phitty Saturday night?
- 27:17Speaker 3: Settle down. She might be listening. Y'all got to be
- 27:19Speaker 3: a little respectful. Maybe don't read the text.
- 27:22Speaker 2: I feel like y'all got to be a little respectful here, people.
- 27:25Speaker 2: How are you going to– you're in control of what
- 27:27Speaker 2: you read. Oh, my bad. You don't have to read.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I just read them, y'all. I just read them.
- 27:31Speaker 5: Why?
- 27:31Speaker 2: Is that on me?
- 27:32Speaker 3: Yes.
- 27:33Speaker 2: Oh, my bad. I'm sorry.
- 27:34Speaker 1: That's like me saying, Max, you're a dumbass. Don't send
- 27:36Speaker 1: those in. I'm sorry, y'all, which is something definitely you
- 27:39Speaker 1: would do. I'm sorry, y'all. I'm like Ron Burgundy, bone.
- 27:44Speaker 1: I just see text, re-text.
- 27:46Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 27:47Speaker 3: Can I do something, Matt, before we get to Picante's
- 27:49Speaker 3: picks here? Remember yesterday we did the whole E-40, I
- 27:53Speaker 3: sound like a rapper thing?
- 27:55Speaker 2: Yes. So I worked on some flows before the show.
- 27:57Speaker 5: Oh, shoot. All right.
- 27:58Speaker 2: I need you to give me your famous beat box.
- 28:00Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Give me a little beat.
- 28:01Speaker 5: Okay.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Give me a little bit there. All right. Here we go.
- 28:05Speaker 3: They call me Bone. I own these bars like Sam Malone.
- 28:08Speaker 3: Big Clown, it's at 05. With hip hop, slaying fools
- 28:11Speaker 3: like B-Bop. Bop, get a life before Finney takes your wife.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Stay off Bryce Young before you get blocked like McAlpine Doug.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Oh, God.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Was that not an amazing two-man rap show right there, Bob?
- 28:25Speaker 3: Is that not good writing, though? They call me Bone.
- 28:27Speaker 3: I own these bars like Sam Malone.
- 28:29Speaker 2: That's very good.
- 28:29Speaker 3: You're working Sam Malone into a rap in 2026. You're
- 28:32Speaker 3: doing some things. The lyrics are very good. I don't
- 28:34Speaker 3: know how it sounded musically between my beatbox and your rapping.
- 28:38Speaker 2: I feel like the lyrics were.
- 28:39Speaker 3: Great, though. Swaying fools like Bebop, Bob, get a life
- 28:42Speaker 3: before Finney takes your wife. Oh! Stay off Bryce Young
- 28:46Speaker 3: before you get blocked like McAlpine Doug.
- 28:48Speaker 5: Oh!
- 28:50Speaker 2: We need to.
- 28:51Speaker 1: React like the battle rap crowd in 8 Mile.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Now, is there going to be a response rap from
- 28:59Speaker 1: Bebop or McAlpine Doug?
- 29:01Speaker 2: Bebop just texted in. Bebop told me to relax. Relax, Trevor. Relax, Trevor. Oh,
- 29:08Speaker 2: my goodness. You think we could be the new Jazzy
- 29:10Speaker 2: Jeff and Fresh Prince boat? Let me hear that beatbox again.
- 29:21Speaker 3: That was supposed to be like a fat boy's noise.
- 29:23Speaker 3: It sounded more like I was hyperventilating. Can you put
- 29:25Speaker 3: that sound in the open going forward, please? Oh, we
- 29:30Speaker 3: got Picante's picks. Oh, Picante's picks, baby. He's picking between
- 29:33Speaker 3: three and 47 games. Picante literally said he did 42
- 29:38Speaker 3: picks this weekend.
- 29:39Speaker 1: We told him, narrow it down to three. Picante, if
- 29:42Speaker 1: you don't know, diehard listener to the show, always has
- 29:46Speaker 1: opinions on games and is always bragging about good he
- 29:49Speaker 1: does in his picks. So we are putting him to
- 29:51Speaker 1: the test here. We are seeing if he can come through.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Last week, he was 2-1. He must go at least 2-1, Bone.
- 29:59Speaker 1: in order to keep the gig every Friday. He's back
- 30:04Speaker 1: for a second week. Picante, what's going on, man?
- 30:06Speaker 5: Hey, guys.
- 30:08Speaker 4: What's up? Thank you for the again.
- 30:12Speaker 2: What's up, baby? You had a pretty good week last week, man.
- 30:14Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, of course, man. Now it actually feels great
- 30:18Speaker 4: to be a celebrity. Now my wife gave me the
- 30:20Speaker 4: big piece of chicken. Wow.
- 30:24Speaker 5: What?
- 30:25Speaker 2: Your wife gave you what?
- 30:28Speaker 4: He's a big piece of chicken. He's talking food.
- 30:32Speaker 3: You need a fix? By the way, Picante, you did
- 30:34Speaker 3: go 2-1 here. You're on the edge of this thing
- 30:37Speaker 3: not happening anymore. You need a big week, man. I'm
- 30:42Speaker 3: not rooting for you, though. I'm rooting for you.
- 30:44Speaker 1: 3-0 this week? Okay, man, you might get a whole
- 30:46Speaker 1: bucket of chicken next week if you go 3-0.
- 30:49Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, we're going to KFC, Bojangles. We're going to
- 30:51Speaker 4: hit them all.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Well, let's start this off. What is your first pick
- 30:56Speaker 1: in Picante's picks?
- 30:58Speaker 4: All right, my first pick will be, again, Luke Weaver,
- 31:01Speaker 4: first win of the year, San Jose State, plus three.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Who'd I play?
- 31:09Speaker 4: Oh, wait, I'm sorry. San Jose State is playing Eastern Michigan.
- 31:14Speaker 5: Okay.
- 31:15Speaker 4: It's a very easy game. I would expect that they
- 31:17Speaker 4: would win by 10, but I'm taking the three points
- 31:20Speaker 4: because I feel we're going to be in the same
- 31:22Speaker 4: gate next week.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
- 31:24Speaker 1: There you go. Man, this dude goes deep, Bone. He's
- 31:26Speaker 1: going San Jose State, Eastern Michigan.
- 31:28Speaker 3: I know what he's– he's picking games that we're going
- 31:30Speaker 3: to forget that he picked them is what's going to happen.
- 31:32Speaker 4: No, we need to put it down so we don't forget.
- 31:36Speaker 2: Okay. Let's write this down. He's going to go, what
- 31:38Speaker 2: games did he pick? Yeah, you're right. Let me write
- 31:39Speaker 2: these down here.
- 31:40Speaker 5: All right.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Get that written down there. Okay.
- 31:42Speaker 4: San Jose State plus three. They opened the week with
- 31:46Speaker 4: plus 3.5. Now they're at plus three.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Okay. We got you. I trust you, Picante.
- 31:50Speaker 4: My second pick will be your probably future quarterback, Drew Messmaker.
- 31:56Speaker 4: Oklahoma State on the over against Tulsa.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Okay.
- 32:01Speaker 4: The line moved like four times already.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 32:03Speaker 4: It's sitting at 59 and a half. I like the over.
- 32:06Speaker 4: It's going to be a shootout.
- 32:07Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 32:08Speaker 3: Oak State's going to put up points, man, with Messmaker.
- 32:10Speaker 3: We've been trying to tell you how good Messmaker is.
- 32:13Speaker 4: And then Tulsa might pull some points, too. So, like,
- 32:15Speaker 4: we're looking at the both end right now.
- 32:17Speaker 2: That makes sense to me. I'm glad you're finally in
- 32:19Speaker 2: on Messamaker there, Picante.
- 32:20Speaker 4: Dude, I'm in with you, Messamaker, bro.
- 32:23Speaker 2: I know. You've been talking to us about him since he.
- 32:25Speaker 4: Put up— I've been following him for two years in
- 32:28Speaker 4: North Texas.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Dude, he put up 600 passing yards on Charlotte, and
- 32:31Speaker 1: ever since then, Picante wants him in Charlotte to replace
- 32:34Speaker 1: Bryce Young.
- 32:35Speaker 2: That's blaspheming. Blasphemy.
- 32:37Speaker 4: No, no, it's not that.
- 32:38Speaker 2: All right, what's your final pick, your third pick in
- 32:40Speaker 2: Picante's picks?
- 32:40Speaker 4: My final pick, the best bet, I don't do believe
- 32:43Speaker 4: in Garner that I'm going to take Georgia for the
- 32:46Speaker 4: whole championship. I think Texas will be. But my best
- 32:50Speaker 4: bet will be Georgia winning by 47.5 against East Tennessee State.
- 32:55Speaker 4: My team is very weak, and Georgia's going to just
- 32:58Speaker 4: go and score in every possession.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Isn't that Will Healy's voice? Who do Heals play next week?
- 33:04Speaker 3: East Tennessee State? They're playing Tennessee State, aren't they?
- 33:06Speaker 2: Oh, are they? Is it Tennessee State or East Tennessee State?
- 33:08Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 33:09Speaker 4: No, East Tennessee State, yeah.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Hold on, let me look. All right, there we go. Okay,
- 33:13Speaker 2: we got it, baby. People like it, this Picante schedule. Man, Picante,
- 33:16Speaker 2: you got it.
- 33:16Speaker 4: And then the line moved like five times.
- 33:18Speaker 2: They're not playing East Tennessee State. They're playing Tennessee State.
- 33:21Speaker 5: Oh, my bad.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Will Healy doesn't coach. That's Eddie George's team, right?
- 33:25Speaker 5: Oh. Georgia.
- 33:26Speaker 4: Georgia against Tennessee State or East Tennessee State.
- 33:29Speaker 2: East Tennessee State. Okay, we got you.
- 33:30Speaker 4: East Tennessee State. Yeah, that's what I said.
- 33:32Speaker 2: No, you're all over it. I'm not all over it.
- 33:34Speaker 2: It's not East Tennessee State. It's Tennessee State. It's the
- 33:36Speaker 2: other one. Isn't it East Tennessee State against Georgia? No,
- 33:39Speaker 2: it's Tennessee State.
- 33:40Speaker 5: Oh.
- 33:40Speaker 4: Tennessee State, yes.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Well, who do the Heels play next week? East Tennessee State.
- 33:44Speaker 1: So I was right that the Heels are playing East
- 33:45Speaker 1: Tennessee State. He's wrong.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Tennessee State is the Eddie George team. They're different teams.
- 33:51Speaker 4: He's in the West.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Come on, man.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Bro, I need an IPA, man.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Does he get that pick wrong, Bone, because he said
- 33:57Speaker 1: the wrong school?
- 33:58Speaker 2: Eddie George is that bowl in green now. We are
- 34:02Speaker 2: cleaning up the whole store right now, man. How many
- 34:05Speaker 2: damn mistakes? All right, the point is Georgia's going to
- 34:07Speaker 2: blow them out. All right, brother.
- 34:09Speaker 4: Yeah, my best bet is that Georgia's going to just
- 34:12Speaker 4: blow them out any Tennessee State or any Tennessee State,
- 34:15Speaker 4: whatever it is they play.
- 34:16Speaker 2: All right, Picante, may you cover all your bets, my friend.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Appreciate you. We'll see how you do, man.
- 34:22Speaker 1: All right, brother.
- 34:22Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you, guys.
- 34:24Speaker 2: All right, there you go.
- 34:24Speaker 1: That is Picante with Picante's picks. He says he's the
- 34:27Speaker 1: best picker in Charlotte. We're putting him to the test.
- 34:29Speaker 1: I had no idea Eddie George was a Bowling Green,
- 34:31Speaker 1: by the way. Or I forgot about it.
- 34:33Speaker 6: I guess.
- 34:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 34:34Speaker 2: I lost the plot on that whole thing there. All right. Anyway,
- 34:38Speaker 2: we'll see. We'll see how he does. That was so crazy.
- 34:41Speaker 3: East Tennessee State, Tennessee State.
- 34:44Speaker 2: The big piece.
- 34:45Speaker 3: So I was like, all I wanted to know is
- 34:47Speaker 3: I knew who the Heels were playing. I told Picante, yeah,
- 34:48Speaker 3: they're not playing East Tennessee State. I said, yep, East
- 34:50Speaker 3: Tennessee State. I said, no, they're not playing them. He said, yeah,
- 34:53Speaker 3: I know, East Tennessee State. You were telling me I'm wrong,
- 34:54Speaker 3: and I'm like, I swear.
- 34:55Speaker 2: No, I was telling him. Will Healy. Yeah, I was confused.
- 34:58Speaker 2: It was like a who's on first episode. I was
- 34:59Speaker 2: telling him they're playing. Tennessee State. Yeah, I was trying
- 35:02Speaker 2: to tell you the Heels play East Tennessee State. I
- 35:03Speaker 2: was telling him they're playing Tennessee State. Yes, I know
- 35:05Speaker 2: who they're playing. Oh, my goodness.
- 35:07Speaker 1: The line about my wife gave me the big piece
- 35:10Speaker 1: of chicken because I went two and one on my
- 35:12Speaker 1: picks was tremendous, though.
- 35:14Speaker 3: And it might be truthful. People are liking Picante's segment.
- 35:17Speaker 3: All right, we come back. It's the wrap-up on Sports
- 35:20Speaker 3: Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 35:31Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 35:41Speaker 1: All right, baby, let's send it on into a weekend.
- 35:44Speaker 1: For those of you that got a three-day weekend, have
- 35:46Speaker 1: a great one, have a safe one, have some fun
- 35:49Speaker 1: as we go into week one of college football.
- 35:52Speaker 2: We will be here on Labor Day, all right? All
- 35:54Speaker 2: the shows will be on.
- 35:55Speaker 1: We'll be talking football and recapping the college weekend, looking
- 35:59Speaker 1: ahead to a Panthers game week. So even if you're off,
- 36:03Speaker 1: working or off, make sure you find a way to
- 36:05Speaker 1: include your boys Mack and Bone and WFNZ. In your
- 36:08Speaker 1: Monday morning, little Fitty, Fitty's younger brother, says Picante has
- 36:14Speaker 1: ball knowledge.
- 36:15Speaker 3: So there you go. He's a Picante supporter. Someone just
- 36:18Speaker 3: asked for Picante's website.
- 36:20Speaker 2: I had to explain. He's just a listener. He doesn't
- 36:23Speaker 2: have a website. He just started one, though, Bone. Bigpieceofchicken.com.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Another texter says, does that mean he's getting the chicken
- 36:31Speaker 1: breast this weekend?
- 36:32Speaker 5: Oh, man.
- 36:33Speaker 2: Calm down, sir. You believe these texters? Can you believe
- 36:35Speaker 2: they send this stuff, Bo? Can you believe it? Mac,
- 36:38Speaker 2: we have some.
- 36:40Speaker 1: I thought y'all were going to call me on reading
- 36:41Speaker 1: it and then being incredulous again.
- 36:43Speaker 3: Right now, I wanted to say this. I'm just seeing
- 36:45Speaker 3: this right now. It was posted a few minutes ago.
- 36:49Speaker 3: This is probably something for next week, but Nick Reitmack
- 36:52Speaker 3: is at it again today. He's going to be on
- 36:54Speaker 3: your list. He apparently said, I don't think Bryce markedly
- 36:58Speaker 3: improved last year. My guess is by the end of
- 37:01Speaker 3: this season, the Panthers will look for another coach and
- 37:04Speaker 3: another quarterback. The Panthers are a six-win football team. Six wins?
- 37:08Speaker 3: He's firing Canales? Oh, put that on the Monday docket.
- 37:11Speaker 2: You ain't kidding me?
- 37:12Speaker 1: I'll host two shows to talk about that one on Monday.
- 37:15Speaker 1: My God, seriously. Yeah, him and Chris Broussard both picked
- 37:19Speaker 1: the Panthers last in the division, but I didn't know
- 37:21Speaker 1: it was going to get that ugly.
- 37:22Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Jeez, man.
- 37:23Speaker 3: I knew that he said so. I didn't realize he
- 37:25Speaker 3: said the thing about Canales getting fired. So after Canales
- 37:28Speaker 3: adds three wins to the team each season for his
- 37:33Speaker 3: first two years, he's going to endanger getting fired this year?
- 37:37Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 37:37Speaker 2: I ain't buying that, man. I ain't buying that. Not
- 37:39Speaker 2: to mention we got better this offseason.
- 37:41Speaker 3: By the way, apparently Picante posts his picks on his
- 37:43Speaker 3: own Instagram page, at the Picante picks.
- 37:46Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. So he's got his own Instagram.
- 37:48Speaker 3: But San Jose State plus three, Oklahoma State over 59
- 37:51Speaker 3: and a half. Or no, excuse me, over 59 and
- 37:54Speaker 3: a half.
- 37:55Speaker 2: My gracious.
- 37:56Speaker 3: And Georgia, minus 47 and a half. That's a big number.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Who's Georgia playing again, Bo? They're playing Tennessee Volunteers.
- 38:03Speaker 2: Here is his bio. Tennessee State. All right, we got it.
- 38:06Speaker 2: On Instagram. What does it say?
- 38:07Speaker 7: College sports picks guru. Love my son very much. One-minute
- 38:13Speaker 7: segment every Friday on 92.7 FM Mac and Bone Show.
- 38:20Speaker 5: Let's go.
- 38:20Speaker 2: I ain't mad at you. How do we get rid
- 38:21Speaker 2: of him now? I ain't mad at you, Picante.
- 38:23Speaker 7: He even has a logo, Picante's Pigs, with a spicy
- 38:27Speaker 7: pepper with some fire in the background.
- 38:29Speaker 2: He's going all in. He's got it going on.
- 38:31Speaker 1: But contact, can you put big piece of chicken eater
- 38:34Speaker 1: on there as well? I believe you've earned that for
- 38:36Speaker 1: your Twitter, your Instagram bio.
- 38:39Speaker 5: All right.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Coming up in the world sports this weekend. We don't
- 38:41Speaker 1: need to tell you college football, baby. Enjoy it. We'll
- 38:44Speaker 1: talk all about it Monday tonight. I'm kind of curious
- 38:47Speaker 1: to see Oklahoma a little bit. I don't think it's
- 38:49Speaker 1: going to be close, but I really like this Oklahoma
- 38:51Speaker 1: team tonight. with a healthy Mateer and a badass defense
- 38:54Speaker 1: there against UTEP tonight. Also, Miami-Stanford. Now, do you think, Bone,
- 38:59Speaker 1: that's one where Miami-Stanford has a game under their belt?
- 39:02Speaker 1: Miami's got to go out to the West Coast, 9
- 39:04Speaker 1: o'clock start. Do you think that's like Miami doesn't have...
- 39:08Speaker 1: style points or or.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Do you think miami just routes them miami routes them
- 39:12Speaker 3: okay let me take a couple drives to get it
- 39:14Speaker 3: cooking a little bit but i think miami routes all
- 39:16Speaker 3: right um now this was cal i think differently i
- 39:18Speaker 3: don't think the same as stanford not good enough personnel
- 39:20Speaker 3: wise like like how miami were not there and i
- 39:23Speaker 3: got lucky against cal they're one time out there two
- 39:25Speaker 3: years ago and then cal beat smu last.
- 39:27Speaker 2: Year i don't view them as the as the same
- 39:30Speaker 2: as cal.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Uh let's see we also we got charlotte fc tomorrow
- 39:33Speaker 1: night head to uh the bank um if you want
- 39:36Speaker 1: to be a part of a amazing um sports environment
- 39:40Speaker 1: i absolutely love it and they'll be playing against a
- 39:42Speaker 1: Houston dynamos. And then the chase starts at Darlington five o'clock, right?
- 39:46Speaker 1: Is the time fitting? They moved that up.
- 39:47Speaker 7: Yeah, they moved it up an hour. So now we
- 39:50Speaker 7: start racing at five o'clock.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Here's the, here's the thing.
- 39:54Speaker 7: There won't be a lot of racing in the, in
- 39:57Speaker 7: the nighttime. How much will that track change? I think
- 39:59Speaker 7: it will be an interesting thing to keep up with
- 40:00Speaker 7: as that race moves along.
- 40:01Speaker 1: I like that, Fitty. Fitty's the official crew chief of
- 40:04Speaker 1: the Mac and Bone Show.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Hopefully the Hendrick cars have some speed, damn it.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't count on it, unfortunately. But it'll be
- 40:10Speaker 1: interesting to see the start to the chase. All right,
- 40:13Speaker 1: let's get to some of the techs we have here
- 40:15Speaker 1: to close it down.
- 40:18Speaker 2: 704-570-9610.
- 40:19Speaker 1: Share your techs. They are powered by affordable siding and windows.
- 40:22Speaker 1: Your hometown home improvement experts. Let's see. We have a
- 40:29Speaker 1: texture that says J.J. Jansen should replace the creepy stare guy.
- 40:33Speaker 1: That's Phitty, sir. Creepy stare guy has a name. That
- 40:39Speaker 1: is Phitty Marlow.
- 40:40Speaker 3: His journey was down the stairs for the stare because
- 40:43Speaker 3: he barely got down the steps, apparently.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
- 40:47Speaker 3: Formal Timothy says Phitty staring at Mac for three minutes
- 40:50Speaker 3: was just demonstrating his pickup move in the bars. Is
- 40:54Speaker 3: that how your date's going to go tomorrow? Is he
- 40:56Speaker 3: going to stare? Do you do that to Flounder during
- 41:01Speaker 3: the afternoon? Do you just stare at him for a while?
- 41:03Speaker 7: Sometimes I do just look at Flounder.
- 41:06Speaker 5: Wonder.
- 41:07Speaker 2: I do it to Walker, too, sometimes.
- 41:09Speaker 7: Walker gets really freaked out.
- 41:11Speaker 1: I'm telling you, when I realized you were staring at
- 41:13Speaker 1: me for three minutes, people are concerned about me. This
- 41:16Speaker 1: dude says, how easily could Mac get attacked or pickpocketed?
- 41:20Speaker 1: This bro had somebody in his face for three minutes
- 41:23Speaker 1: and had no idea.
- 41:24Speaker 3: Well, Mac's also, I can't say on the air, but
- 41:28Speaker 3: Mac has also missed some people that shouldn't be in
- 41:31Speaker 3: the building before that were just walking around downstairs and.
- 41:34Speaker 2: I'm focused on working, baby. I'm focused.
- 41:37Speaker 3: Literally, someone was sleeping in the building once, and Mac
- 41:39Speaker 3: just didn't even notice and thought they worked here and
- 41:42Speaker 3: just let him by.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Texters have their theories, Bone, on what I was reading
- 41:46Speaker 1: so intently that I didn't know Finney was staring at
- 41:49Speaker 1: me from three feet away for three minutes. This texter said,
- 41:51Speaker 1: clearly Mac was reading the Bojangles menu. Another texter, Mac
- 41:56Speaker 1: was reading a two-line X-Post for three straight minutes. Another
- 42:01Speaker 1: texter says, I've got big money that Mac was not
- 42:06Speaker 1: reading a book.
- 42:09Speaker 2: When Finney was staring at him. Yes, you would always
- 42:11Speaker 2: win that bet. That's a safe bet.
- 42:12Speaker 5: Yes. Oh, man.
- 42:15Speaker 2: All right.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Oh, there's shots at Willie, too. We don't want to
- 42:17Speaker 1: leave on a Friday without those. So what was it earlier?
- 42:20Speaker 1: He and his college buddy, Tyler Fulgimon, who's now an
- 42:24Speaker 1: ESPN betting analyst, And Tyler's been on, like, food shows, right?
- 42:28Speaker 1: Guy Fieri and stuff like that. So I guess he
- 42:31Speaker 1: and Willie have argued in the past about who the
- 42:32Speaker 1: real sauce boss is, and we told him, oh, he
- 42:34Speaker 1: claims to be the sauce boss here.
- 42:36Speaker 5: Get out of here!
- 42:37Speaker 1: This texter says he should be known as the dry guy,
- 42:41Speaker 1: not the sauce boss.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Fellas, how have we not called
- 42:47Speaker 2: Willie dry Fieri? Dry Fieri. Oh, that's good, baby. What
- 42:52Speaker 2: are you trying to play, pal? Don't play me. Because
- 42:55Speaker 2: I know ball. That's good right there. Based off that
- 42:59Speaker 2: brisket Bobby Gray.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Panther Bo says Fitty is so bald he played stunt
- 43:04Speaker 1: double to Wilson the volleyball in Castaway. Oh, Panther Bo
- 43:08Speaker 1: just came at you. You were such a sad little
- 43:10Speaker 1: bald man. I thought Panther Bo was your number one fan, Fitty.
- 43:13Speaker 2: What happened? I don't know. I don't know. All right,
- 43:18Speaker 2: we're out of here, y'all, everybody.
- 43:19Speaker 5: Guess what?
- 43:19Speaker 3: Next week is Panther game week, baby. Hell yeah, baby.
- 43:23Speaker 3: We got college football this.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Weekend, Panthers next week. Why am I Dick Vitale? Dickie V, baby,
- 43:28Speaker 2: Dickie V. The fans are going to hi-bronate. Oh, we
- 43:30Speaker 2: also need.
- 43:31Speaker 1: To mention Nada, our former co-worker, who took away your
- 43:34Speaker 1: cookout invite when you failed miserably at the hip-hop challenge
- 43:38Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago.
- 43:39Speaker 3: He's putting you back in. Those bars I dropped got
- 43:43Speaker 3: me back in. Apparently, man, when did I lose the invite?
- 43:47Speaker 3: During the hip hop challenge.
- 43:48Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 43:48Speaker 2: During the hip hop challenge. Why did I lose it then?
- 43:50Speaker 2: I can't imagine why. Nana, I don't get an invite
- 43:55Speaker 2: for my beatbox, fam. What's up with that, baby? All right, anyway.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Why don't you beatbox us out of here?
- 44:06Speaker 1: Multiple people concerned, Bone, about the spit that might be
- 44:09Speaker 1: on this microphone.
- 44:11Speaker 2: I might need to move this before Colin uses this.
- 44:13Speaker 1: All right, we're out of here, y'all. Good work out
- 44:15Speaker 1: of the bone, man, the fit dog. Enjoy having college football, baby.
- 44:18Speaker 1: We'll talk about it all on Monday.
- 44:21Speaker 3: If I'm over there blowing my instrument, I'm not focused
- 44:23Speaker 3: on whatever's going on over here.
- 44:25Speaker 2: I want to be the butthead.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Still in your head, still dancing, still living rent-free in
- 44:29Speaker 3: that fitty.
- 44:30Speaker 2: Bald dome.
- 44:32Speaker 5: I'm a Big Mac sauce fan.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Did we ask for your opinion? He actually did. Oh,
- 44:35Speaker 2: did you? I guess I am the daddy. Ladies and gentlemen,
- 44:38Speaker 2: the weekend.
