  Speaker 5: to get through this thing. What what? What is wrong
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: with the with the old sj.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I just there's five thousand other things I could think
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: of that I'd rather eat than Sloppy Joe's I could.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I'd rather have a hot dog. I'd rather have hamburger.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I'd rather have chicken nuggets. I'd rather have raisin canes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I'd rather have something. I'd rather have literally anything else
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: on the planet than Sloppy Joke.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: That's kind of where I'm at is like there's a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: lot of good, kind of casual like cheap options.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: That might be the worst use of ground beef you
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: could possibly find. Not that there's a bad use for
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: ground beef, but that's probably the worst ground beef.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Why don't you take that ground beef.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Put it into a paddy and put it on a
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: put it in between two.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Buns, and make it a burger.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Shock Yeah, back, yeah, shocking, your elitist mindset is above
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: a slappy Joe.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Oh shocking that you're on an island with this one.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Bone.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Both the other two people in there in the building
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: have told you, Yeah, hell no, we won't go sloppy Joe.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: We won't go sloppy Joe. Do you think I want
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to be in an eyehold these two.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying you could just join us all in
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the you know what, there's other things.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: That's out there.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not looking down on people who eat
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: the mind.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: With be on an island by myself. Suretless leighing in
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: a sand or a beach. That is all sloppy Joe.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: This dude says, I've always known that these three were elitist,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and Bone was the real man of the people.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: I'm a man, I'm a I'm here for the common man.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Bone the common man.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: The man of the people.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: The real man of the people is Kyle Bailey eating
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Sloppy Joe's or eating us spaghetios every day.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, there were some Kyle Bailey spaghettio references. Well,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sure hopefully eat spaghettios.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I'd rather eat spaghettios.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Than than man Witch or Sloppy Joe's.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I would eat seven. I would eat spaghettios over it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And there there here's a text that says, if you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: have ground beef, make a burger or heck makes make
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: pasta and and have the ground beef in with the pasta.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah those are better uses. Yeah, those are better uses.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: All right, anyway, we got we cannot post post this
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: dude's this dude says, forget the sloppy Joes. We need
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: FC answers. WILLI was not he was not the manager
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: last night, and he wasn't playing. I just want to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: point that out. But let's talk about it, Pee. That
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: loss frustrated me. The Maxi conversation will be a fun
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: one because my god, you can just see the difference
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: he's going to make, and he made it last night.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But let's just start with the opportunity. They kind of blew, like,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: how much does that bum you out?
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: It definitely does bum me out when you think about
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: the fact that you're literally a penalty away from potentially
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: advancing to a quarterfinal and a tournament that you've only
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: gotten to the quarterfinal in, and you find yourself potentially
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: two victories away from being in the Contact Champions Cup,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: which is the most prestigious tournament in this in this
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: country outside of you know, your own league play. It's
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: difficult to swallow. I don't have a problem with Archie
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Goodwin taking the penalty. You know, you guys know that
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I study this and from the penalty standpoint, you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: of the options that were out there on the field,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: you know, Archie's was probably the best option.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: People will say Westy west unfortunately has missed them as well.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: From Cheryl Let's see and I chronicle all these things
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: that people are going to ask, you know, whether or
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: not whether or not Maxie should have been the option.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Maxie is not really a penalty taker, guys.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: He's somebody who in his career has not taken a
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: lot of penalties, only three in his career.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: He's two for three.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Westy's six to ten in his career taking penalties. Archie Goodwin,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: you know, coming into the game last night, had made
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: all five of his previous penalties so in his career.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: So I had no problem with Archie taking a penalty.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: And as Dean said last night, you know, there are
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: worse players to abyss penalties.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: There are greater players to abyss penalties.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: It's not something that is the most preferred option. My
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: whole problem is I don't like how we still have
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: these these errors in the back.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Like like you could have played them even.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I would not have been as angry about playing them even.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And winning in penalties.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: But the fact that you get nothing out of that
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: match last night, when you know, quite frankly, Pachuca did
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: really threaten a lot in the contest and he feels
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: like you gave them that game.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That's incredibly disappointing.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: I think it's a it's a multifaceted conversation because we
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: could talk about the decision on who kicked the ball,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: and then there's the execution part of the PK. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: I do think that you're right based off the numbers,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Archie was the right guy. It was just a it
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: was just a terrible PK. So the the right choice,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: bad execution.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: On the kick was a bad I wouldn't say it
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: was a bad penalty.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I just think it was for me to.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Say it wasn't It was not far, It was not
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: far enough in the corner. He made it too easy
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: for him and a loco. Why did a loco not
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: try to bend that just curl that thing into the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: left side of the goal instead of bringing back across
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the goalie Like a Loco's got so much athletic ability,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he's a beast. It's like the technical stuff. Man, is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he going to get it? You know, the final the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: final action? Is he going to get that? Ah?
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the as Dean said, you created the two best
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: chances in the game, you know, the penalty chance and
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: and the locos right there at the beginning of the
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: second half, and you don't find a way to win.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: That's that's kind of that's on you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: And and you know, I here's the only other thing
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: that I've just.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Has nothing to do with the game, but the amount
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: of jeopardy that you put yourself in this tournament where
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: you know you basically have to win all three and
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: get the right goal differential. I mean, you think about
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: the teams that all were on two wins last night, uh, Cincinnati,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Columbus and Charlotte. None of them got maximum points last night.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: It was it was odd to see the jeopardy that
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: this tournament puts you in.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And I just I don't know. I I know that
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: they want to do this thing.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: They want to do this tournament, and I liked the
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: tournament in concept, but the fact that you have a
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: team that basically has won two games and they don't
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: advance in this tournament, it's just I prob'm feel about
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: it just kind of feels wonky. And you could tell that,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: you know, the only teams that seem to care about
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: it are you know, the teams.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: With big Mexican fan bases.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Like Pub America and others. I just I really wish
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: they could do it in a way where it feels
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: like people can get behind it, because you look at
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: places across the league that no one's going on these games,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: which I feel bad about because I just I want
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: to see the tournament work.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Can't you make it?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Can't can't they make it as part of the season
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: ticket package. I know they're trying. It's a different competition,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: so they're trying to make money off of it or whatever.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: One of the games is one of the games.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: One is okay, one of the three.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: The Pumas game this year was the one that was
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: part of the season ticket.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just mad about it all, like the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: pep bl thing, Like I don't know exactly what he
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: said to that referee, but apparently like he doesn't have
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to kill.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: The referee, how good of a job he did, which was.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Terrible, So okay, so he did criticize the referee, was
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a smart alecabat, Like, but does the referee have to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: literally red cardon which means you can't play in a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: decisive game. Feels like the referee was was a little
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: sense again.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Didn't he didn't curse the referee, which again makes me
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: feel like, okay, this guy got.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: A little bit over sensitive big time. The whole thing,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the whole thing is.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Just I'm just not a fan of of of anything
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Some glower back the league.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Play, let's talk about and that'll be Saturday night against Columbus.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: This could be a fun one to be at the bank, y'all.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And Matt, I wonder if Maxie gets to start in
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: this one, Willie. How excited I mean, I have to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: tell you, I was really excited to see him. I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: was really excited about the signing. I thought there might
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: be a ramp up period, right because he hasn't been
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: active in a while.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Holy crap, bone set it earlier. The first touch.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It was like three guys on Patchuka smell you later, man, like, dude,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: he is gonna toast him running back in the open
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: field and they can't catch. He gonna toast some fullbacks,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: isn't he.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's uh, he's incredible. Man.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: I just even watching him train, you know, the last
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: couple of days since he's been here, you could tell
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: this that after a little bit of sauce that he
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: brings to the table, and we saw it on the
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: game field for.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: The first time.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: It is and it is evident that, you know, from
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: a fitness standpoint, that's probably still a little bit that
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: has to happen before he's able to get ninety minutes fit.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Maybe the twenty that he got last night can get
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: him to a point where maybe you get him close
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: to thirty or forty five potentially for a second half
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: appearance against Columbus. That's the only part of it that
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I think is a little bit upsetting that he isn't
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: further along. But when he was on the field, he
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: was dynamic. I mean, he did enough to win the penalty,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: and he's somebody who continues to be that creator. And
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: right now, Charlott of c needs those answers because as
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: you saw before, you know, in the seventy minutes that
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: led up to that, you know, when you don't have
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: pet Bl on the pitch, you are struggling to find
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: a creator.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: So you know, when you get.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Both those guys together, I think the real.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Thing, that's when the real thing gets unlocked because you're
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: not gonna be able to commit three bodies to Alan
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: said maximum with pet Bl on the pitch. You're just
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: not because if you do that then then your defense
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: is in peril right now.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Big, So how about pet maybe playing him in behind
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a line. I mean, it's just oh, and I think
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: they can get to Klamati unlocked again together, like I
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: think they can create for him because he needs some
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: service so he can get going. All right, I'm looking
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: forward to with Maxi and we'll have to get over
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: last night. As far as as far as the Panthers go, Uh,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: p man, what did you? Uh?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: What were your Do you have any conclusions from the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: first preseason game, like are you a part of Haines
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: King Nation officially?
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Willie Well, I think you gotta find a way to
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: get him on the field, obviously.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I think that you know we've we've we've talked.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: A lot about how the Panthers don't really have a
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: legitimate short yardage option on the team.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: I think Haynes King could.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Be that option.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I know you can't probably use him like the battering
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: ram that Taysom Hill does is, but I think there
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: are ways to scheme him into situations where you can
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: you can use him, whether it's a third and two
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: or a third one. I think you feel a heck
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: of a lot better with him seeking the football to
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: you do possibly Bryce Young, and also you put in
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: a package of passes for him too to throw the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: team off and keep the opposition. Honest, I think it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: something that is a nice little wrinkle that that Dave
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: can Allison out to the offense. I also like the
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: fact that we saw some guys step up, like Ja
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: seem Reid, who saw a couple of the you know
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: guys out of the backfield. I don't think those guys
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: necessarily have a chance to lay the football team because
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: the Panther running back room is stacked. I feel bad
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: for aj Dillon, the guy who literally is the Charlotte
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: bucket list guy. I don't know if you keep three
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks on the team, if he's somebody who you keep
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: on the team because of your ability to want to
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: keep you know, Brooks an eighth chan So I think
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: it's a I think it was a good first preseason game.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I don't think it was a perfect first preseason game.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I love love that we're going to get to see
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: a lot of the first team offense, or at least
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: more of the first team offense than we've seen in
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: previous preseasons. The fifteen to twenty plays, I said on
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Twitter earlier this week when we found that out, that's
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: an incredible step forward for this team because one thing
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: that had been frustrating for each of the last two seasons,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: it felt like the Panthers had started very, very slow,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: particularly offensively.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that you attribute that one for
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: one with.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: The lack of opportunity and reps during the preseason. But
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I like that they were at least trying something different
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: outside of you know, getting all that work during the
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: joint practices, which I know is very very helpful, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: all the coaches said that that's actually more help than
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the actual pieces of the game themselves, but actually getting on
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: the game field and trapping it on and and doing
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: something more than listen to the year piece. I think
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: it is something that's a step forward for this for
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: this organization, and and hopefully it leads to a better
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: start when when the games start to count for real.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely do you have an uncultured swine or have
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you already ripped the uncultured swine?
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Who's your un cultured swine?
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the sloppy Joe is mine culture swine.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

  Speaker 1: betting analysis here. I'm sure a lot of y'all are
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: getting ready to bet football games. Heck, some of you
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: probably started with the Hall of Fame game. I won't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: judge it all right. And Ben Fox is a senior
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: sports betting analyst for Yahoo Sports, and he joins us
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: here on the Mac and Bone Showed to talk betting
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and football. Two beautiful things. Hey Ben, how you been man?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: Doing well?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Fellows?
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: I was going to say, don't tell yourself short. They
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: might want to listen twice. They might want to listen
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: to the same show later in the day. Just you know,
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: I feel like I didn't miss anything.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: You haven't some of those guys, Ben, tell us why
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: we're wrong twice.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to get greedy. I'm glad you said it. No, Bet,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to get greedy. But hey, if you
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: want to listen twice baby, let's do it all right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So we actually had a segment Ben about something that
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you shared about the betting on the on the with
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: MGM and how heavily slanted it was. I think you
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: put this over the weekend. How heavily slanted it was
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: on the week one game towards the Bears over the Panther.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I guess it was like ninety three percent of the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: bets when it came to the point spread where Bears
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: minus two and a half. Does that surprise you? I mean,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: we're kind of Panther homer, so we like we took
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: exception with American betters for that. But does that surprise
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you at all? Or does that make sense to you?
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: No?
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: I mean I think it makes sense. There's a little
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: bit I think as I talked to one Odds maker
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: of what he called the love affair with the Bears
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: this offseason. Right, so there's always kind of that team
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: right where oh Man look at that everyone remembers Caleb
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Williams right against the ram backpedaling that unbelievable touchdown pass,
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: and so I think they're projecting that and they're saying, Okay,
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: do we really think that Panthers are that good? It's
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: less than a field goal, even though it's on the
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: road week one, Hey, this is free money, right Usually
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: that's a bad idea, right home, underdog under a field
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: goal is usually a pretty profitable over the long term angles,
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: So I'm not surprised that we've seen the public latch
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: on again. Obviously a long ways until the game actually
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: kicks off, but I would think that that will hold,
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: and it will still it's not going to be ninety
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: percent necessarily of the best and the money on the
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: Bears to cover, but I would expect that's certainly going
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: to be one unless that kind of gets up to
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: three and maybe there's some buyback on the Panthers. But
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: I think from the public's perspective, it seems like, Wow,
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: I think the Bears are better than the Panthers. They're
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: getting less than a field goal. To me, this seems
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: like a good wager, So I think that's where that is.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: I think it's probably more pro Bears than anti Panthers.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they are trendy, No, doubt.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Ben's got some great info all the time, betting wise
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: on his Twitter feed at b Fox twenty two. That's
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: b Fawks two to two. I encourage people to give
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: a follow. There's a lot of information like that, like
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: right there about the Bears number right now with the Panthers. Ben,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: when it comes to betting the NFC South champion, who
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: do you think is the best bet right now?
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Man, I would love to come on and say the
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: Panthers because I don't want to disappoint the disappoint the listeners.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: I think I think I probably would go with the
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: Saints just because of the potential value that you're that
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: you're getting as well. So you got to look a
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: little bit at who you think is going to win
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: and then kind of the price potentially that you're getting
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: as well. So you have the bus are favored right
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: now the Saints plus one eighty Saints second round plus
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: two sixty Panthers plus three twenty five balcons about four
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: to one. I think the Saints, even though that's plus
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: two sixty. A lot of the difference there between them
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: is also the schedule. Some of that is just who
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: the you're playing. Right outside of those divisional games and
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: some of those other ones. So the Panthers, because they
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: won that division, they have a much tougher schedule I
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: think they have. I want to say, yeah, they have
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: the third toughest schedule by opposing season win totals. So
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: if you take the schedule for seventeen games, you add
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: up the win total of every single opponent that they have,
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: they have the third toughest schedule in the NFL, Whereas
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: I think the Saints are somewhere around like twenty eight,
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: twenty nine. They've one of the easier schedules. So based
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: off of that, Tyler Schuck rising a lot of people
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: also like him, not sold on the Bucks without Mike
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Evans and you know the Vita Vea situation and all
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: that and the Falcons. I just think I just did
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: a piece asking odds makers basically the point spread difference
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: between the starter and the backup if the starter went out,
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: and there was roughly a point difference between to as
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: a starter in Michael Pennix Junior, which is kind of
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: bad in both situations, Right, It's bad there's only a
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: point difference, and then it's also bad that was the
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: least difference between the starter and the backup. So basically
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: opsmakers saying neither of them are very good. It doesn't
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: really matter who's there. So if you're taking the best
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: kind of skill position talent, you have the Falcons, but
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: is anyone getting them the ball? Which has been their
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: issue over and over and with the Falcons you just
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: worry their biggest issue with the pass rush. They then
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: went ahead and drafted a pass rusher and traded up
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: for another pass rusher, and we know one isn't going
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: to be on the field with Jalen Walker and his
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: knee injury, and now we're not sure certainly about James
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: Pierce Junior. So all of a sudden, what you thought
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: potentially could be solving some of that weakness now turns
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: into a weakness. And you gave up draft capital to
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: get that. So there's a lot of question marks for
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: a lot of the teams. It's one of the wide open.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: But I think in terms of the value and potential
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: kind of on the rise, I would look. I would
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: look for the Saints as well as how Tyler Shuck
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: played towards the end of last year.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, I won't hold it against you because you just
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: told us how down on the falcons you are.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: That made it better. Okay, that made it better at
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: the end.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: That's a good see good plan there. You touted the
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Saints and you rip the falcons. That falcon's ripping is
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: going to carry me through.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: He's got a job to do, all right, Panther fans,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: he has given you your honest opinion. He is the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: senior betting analyst for Yahoo Sports. So let let me ask,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: let's open it up here, what what are some of
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the over underwind total numbers that as we get closer
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and closer to the season and they kind of, you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: maybe have moved a little bit. What are your favorite
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: couple you know over underwind total numbers right now?
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so, I mean one's moved a little bit, so
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: certainly you probably would have to pay a little more
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: juice to get it back at four and a half.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: With the Arizona Cardinals four and a half, they are
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: down at a lot of sportsbooks to three and a half.
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: It's just hard to see you start to look at
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: the games and the schedule. They're right now projected to
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: be an underdog in all seventeen games. They're the only
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: team to be projected to be an underdog in all
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: those games, and a lot of those games it's at
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: least a touchdown or potentially double digits. Now, it's possible
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: that the betting market just undervalued them, But when you
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: start to look at just okay, in how many games
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: are they going to have the better quarterback? Right, whether
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: that's right now Jacoby Brissett starting at some point, it'll
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: probably be Carson Beck. It's just difficult to see a
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: ton of wins on that schedule. So I think, especially
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: at four and a half, liking that under is one
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: and then one that I think we're thrown off a
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: bit from the AFC South because of the playoffs is
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: the Houston Texans, and you just saw CJ. Strabb play
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: as poorly as kind of a quarterback. You know, I'm
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: of like span, even though I cover the NFL as
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: a you know, obviously for my job. I think if
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: the Texans had JJ McCarthy in that playoff game and
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: he just handed the ball off, they probably have a
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: better chance of seating the Patriots than what CJ. Stroud
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: put up. But that being said, that entire defense is
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: coming back. Tank Dell is coming back off of the
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: injury as well. Nico Collins was hurt, now he's back
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: potentially healthy. Like that team, especially with that defense, is
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: absolutely loaded. They're over under. I believe it's nine and
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: a half. That's one. I like the over. I just
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: think that defense is going to be able to carry them.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: And it's the classic kind of CJ. Stroud. He doesn't
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: need to be his rookie year self, but if he
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: at least is average or potentially above average, it's hard
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: to not see that team winning double digit games in
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: admittedly a tough AFC, but I think they are the
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: best team in that division, and so if they can
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: rack up some potentially you know, easier wins than that
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: division wins some other out of division. I think that
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: defense is just really really good and that's a very
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: high floor for that team. So over nine and a
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: half another one for the text and is there that
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: I like?
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Ben?
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Not only are the Panthers the most bet on team
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: against in Week one of the NFL Slate, you got
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: to tweet up a week ago about how much the
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: public is fading UNC against TCU per bet MGM. Right now,
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: ninety one percent of the spread bets are on TCU
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: minus seven ninety nine percent of the money line is
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: on TCU. Does that has that gone too far against
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: the Heels or does that make a lot of sense
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: based off last year and just where the UNC program
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: is right now?
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think so obviously, right ninety nine
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: percent of the money that may be that somebody bet
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: you know, five thousand dollars or something on one side
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: and has come anything come back on the other. That
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: being said, it's hard to find a lot of takers
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: I think right now for UNC, just because you look
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: at the spread and even though it moved from six
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: and a half to seven for TCU, UNC was kind
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: of non competitive in some of those games, including against TCU,
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: which I believe was the opener last year as well,
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: And so it might not matter if you're getting seven.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: It might not matter if you're getting fourteen. Right if
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: they don't have a defense, they don't have an offense. Now,
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: they did get obviously they had a year right to
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: recruit some of their players, get some of the guys
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: in there potentially that they wanted. But with the whole
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: situation with Michael Lombardi, it just doesn't seem like a
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: team you would want to be backing, especially making I
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: believe that game's in Dublin. The international trip like that
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: to me is just you have continuity on the TCU
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: side and you have a little bit of kind of
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: chaos on the UNC side. So I'm not surprised that
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: the pub has been has been backing that. I think
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: that's going to be also a very popular teaser to
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: just get that down to all tc just have to
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: win the game, get that down from seven to one,
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: and put that with something else for that opening Week
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: zero of college football. But yeah, UNC is is not
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: a team I think the public is going to be backing.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: I believe. I have to double check, but I believe
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: earlier this summer I looked in their win totals four
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: and a half, which I think was the lowest win
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: total Bill Belichick has ever had as a head coach period.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: Gotta be college or pro.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: It has to be Ben. I'm not trying.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: I'm not trying to get you mad or to yell
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: me because I saw one of your YouTube videos wearing
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: big letters that said don't bet parways on the video phone.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet, I bet.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: I bet a lot of parways, and I don't really
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: win necessarily a whole lot. What what's the best strategy
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: as we approach football season, whether it's Saturdays or Sundays,
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: what's your best strategy on betting football to at least
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: win some money?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: So I think the biggest thing, number one, with betting,
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: you always want to go into what am I doing
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: this for? Why am I doing it right? And so
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: I think there's certain rules that give her a bit
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: if you're looking right, hey, this is a side hustle,
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: or I'm looking to make some money and maybe I
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: want to be a little more cautious. That's one thing.
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: And then there's another, which I think is a vast,
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: vast majority of people, which is just this is fun,
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: this is an entertainment cost. I'm going to throw some
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: dollars somewhere. I think most people going to that second bucket.
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: The number one thing I would say is, yes, you
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: should probably limit the parlays that you bet, or if
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: you're going to just limit the legs. Right, we've all
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: done it. We all go into the sportsbook app and
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: we start putting things together and we say it's got
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: to get to some predetermined odds, right, like it's got
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: to be plus money, it's got to be plus one
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: twenty five, or it's got to be plus three hundred,
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: or it's got to get to plus five hundred. It's like, remember,
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: each leg you add on is decreasing the chance significantly
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: of you winning. That's why you get better odds. So
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: I would eliminate at least one or two legs of
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: whatever parlay you're considering, and maybe do a two leg parlay,
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: maybe do a three leg parlay. In the NFL, especially,
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: I think teasers is a good way to go if
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: you can tease those favorites, you know, if it's a
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: seven and a half eight and a half point favorite,
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: tease that down under a field goal or vice versa.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: If you get, you know, a two and a half
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: point underdog, bumps that up to eight and a half.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: Those are some ways that you can have a little
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: better shot, especially if you want to have some of
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: those parlays. Ultimately, your best chance is going to be
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: just betting the straight best you like, right, So if
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: you like the Panthers week one and you like them
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: plus three, just bet the Panthers plus three. If it
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: gets that, don't put Panthers plus three plus this money
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: line plus Bryce Young to throw two hundred plus yards
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: plus Beth McMillan anytime touchdown.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Sounds like you both right.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: No, teezers are greatest, especially teezers, I especially in the
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: NFL when the games are decided usually right near that spread.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: For the most part. Yeah, I like those definitely. All right,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: he is I just want some money off Ben. He
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: is Ben Fox here, man. He's here to help, all right.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Some Panther fans are mad at him picking the Saints
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: as his best bet in terms of odds in the division,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: but he is here to help and hopefully some of
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: that stuff there will help you with your football wagering.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Follow him on x slash Twitter at b Fox fa
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: w k E S twenty two b Fox twenty two
• 31:44

• 31:46
  Speaker 1: cool thing that you can find on Yahoo recently about
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: that he was kind of alluding to about the points
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: that the quarterbacks are worth in the spread. Very interesting
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: stuff there as well. We appreciate it. Ben, thanks so
• 31:58

• 32:10
  Speaker 1: article he wrote bone he and the odds makers have
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: have Bryce ranked twenty fifth in terms of point spread
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: difference over the backup.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Do they know his backups? Can you pikett?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's like three point It's like less
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: than three point difference.

  Speaker 8: Orioles one.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Mas polls back on the Big Show. Baby, how about
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: that night Bones Yankees one and you go.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: And you come the Yankeeese what you say? And the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Braves step right up and beat those Mets and.
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: The Braves beat the mess Foard to nothing.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Oh am, I allowed to ask you or bring up
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: a Yankee comment here? Real, Yeah, I've been excited about him.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Lady did play that at the rookie George one bard
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: Man last night? No, no, I did the ball hit
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: off the base and then he bare handed it off
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: the base and in one motion through it the first
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: This is a new Jeter?
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Is this the new Jeter? Bone? I gotta tell you
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Jeters yesterday's news?
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, by the way, done formula. Do you
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: see a C Stacks? How did this Ben Fawkes guy
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: hack into Bones draftking account and see his parlay? It
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: was it was you definitely like, see but you're you
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: have the ability to hit those I am such a
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: bad better that if I tried to do a parlay
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: of like four legs or more, it would be the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: stupidest thing.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: And you know what was sad about his hypothetical Betho
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: mac He said, don't go bet Panthers plus three in Bryce,
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: like two hundred yards. Two hundred yards. That's not that
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: many yards. It's not four hundred yards. But I would
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: think that Bryce could get two hundred yards right right,
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: It wasn't that. You know, how many games would you
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: have won last year over two hundred?
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I made bet that right now for point. But this
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: is a different Bryce. He's on fire, he's confident. He
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: drops f bob, heck yeah baby. He breaks up here
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: on a four wheeler. He thought about growing facial hair.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: It's a different man. He thought about it. All right,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: we come back.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: It's the wrap up, getting you set for another Mets
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: brains game today, and we have must hear cam audio
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: that you got to stick around for.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: On sports Radio ninety two seven WSNZ.
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: I get the lands fran on a non contact injury
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: and I never heard of that word. They said it
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: was ankle. It's a foot spring. Yeah, I'm like, week
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: won't go by a week two. It's like, nah, this
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: is a different than the foot spring. I don't feel
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: myself progressively getting better. I tell you this story because
• 35:55
  Speaker 9: the hardest thing for me to understand and cope with
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: was getting out of my own way. If I could
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: go back and redo things, I would have set out
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: a whole season because I wasn't healthy. They well, we
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: already had a person on the roster by the name
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: of Kyle Allen.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I call him Lovey Devee.
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: He was on the roster and he was playing damn
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: good football. You know, my pride was like, yo, I'm
• 36:26
  Speaker 9: ready to go back, but my intuition was telling me
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: I'm not healthy. From quarterback to quarterback, bro it's unfortunate,
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: but you're.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: On a clock.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: That's Cam Newton on fourth and one talking to Michael
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Pennix about injuries and the feeling that a quarterback gets,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: especially when the backup's playing well. That I got to
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: get back in there. That's an honest admission from camp
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: to be I gotta tell you, I would have never
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: thought bone while Kyle Allen won a couple of games
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: and was playing, he's playing good, He's playing all right
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: right love And I totally forgot that was his name
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: named Lovey Dovey that Cam gave him. But anyway that
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I would have never thought that that was in Cam's
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: head and he felt like I got to get back there.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: This dude's bawling like I would have never thought that
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Kyle Allen would make him feel I got to get
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: my job back, but apparently it did according to Cam.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: And that's an interesting admision. And that would have not
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: helped the shoulder situation, no, but you know, might have
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: been a smart move foot wise, because he was he
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: got in their bone and he was not the shoulder
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and the foot or problems for him.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: I think that's a cool experience for Michael Pennix to
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: be able to talk to a guy in Cam that's
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: his own age. How old's Pennix? He's gosh, he's getting old.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: He remember he was old in college. Remember Michael Pennix
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: has got to be like twenty seven now, right, twenty six,
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: twenty six, But he's not playing much football though for
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: twenty six year old.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not in the NFL, and I'm not sure he's
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: going to play much as a twenty six year old.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: But then again, to Ben Falk's point, it's not like
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the starter is amazing in TUA and you don't know
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: We have an answer to your question.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Bone, I guess I asked the question about what you
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: were saying about Bryce plus two hundred yards if you bet. Now, Bryce,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: we have a text named Bryce sucks and it's just
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's like Bebop's son or something. No, it
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: what really could be And he says Bryce's numbers aren't
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: two hundred, it's like one hundred and fifty or whatever. If
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: you if the line was plus two hundred and you
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: bet over every game the eighteen games last year, the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: seventeen regular season, in the playoff game, you would have
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: cashed five times. Bryce only threw for two hundred yards
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: or more five times last season.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Also, he got up that number.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Man, it's got to be the only quarterback this, this
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: can't happen very often. He had a four hundred yard
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: game right against Atlanta four forty eight and a fifty
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: four yard game.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: Now another name got to get more consistent. What did
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: you say the first Saints game was one hundred and
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: twenty four yards. Yeah, yeah, So the two games I
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: was at, he threw for one hundred and twenty four
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: and fifty four yards.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Last year, he averaged like eighty nine yards a game.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: When Bone was in attendance. Y'all, everybody over to the stadium security.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Y'all put up a picture of Bone so that y'all
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: don't let him in for Eddie Pather games this year.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: Here, right, here's the issue. I will be at the
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Denver game, and how is their defense going to be?
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, their defense might not be Seattle's from last year,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: but it ain't far off.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, go ahead, So this is the new Bryce Baby,
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: new Bone. Have a waltz this year?
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: Have I?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: John t says that's not all on Bryce. No, it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: certainly not. I mean it's it's you know, for a
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: while there Coker was hurt, it was really Teamack or Bust.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I think that's part of them. They ran the ball
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: so much there for a while with Rico that they
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: really limited Bryce passing. I would still argue the play
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: calling Bone I think was too safe sometimes and I
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: think that limits Bryce passing. So I would expect the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: yardage numbers to go up this year, but they do
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: want to win. I do feel like with running game
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: and defense first, I think we're gonna believe more of
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a Russell Wilson this year out of Bryce.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: I hope.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: So I think bevill I think that's why Bevill was
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: brought in here to help with Zick in the play calling.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: But I think they're trying to unlock the next level
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: of Bryce his downfield path. Not that he doesn't do
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: the downfield ball well, but I think they want to
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: unlock the aggressiveness in that deed ball.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: No doubt. I hope so.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: And that Joe person said it a couple of weeks
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: ago or last week maybe where he said he's hearing
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: from people in the building that like, there's people in
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the building that kind of thought it was too safe
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: last year, and he kind of intimated that it would
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: be different with Izick, you know, And I know Canalis
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: is still looking over his shoulder, but that's kind of
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: encouraging to hear as well.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Let it rip.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Even there might be some mistakes downfield because of it,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: but let it rip. Man, the guy was efficient as
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: heck throwing the ball downfield.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: There's a moment now trying to keep me out of
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: the Denver game. I'm worried about this bone. I'm very
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: worried about it. What if they put Icky out there
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: in front, just a block, mean, just to work on
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: his working his game.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: What if they put stone foresythe out front. I'll go
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: right around here. I'll go set you up for the
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: all right practice starting at the top of the hour
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: for the Panthers, they do practice today Tomorrow Fridays a
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: travel day, and it sounds like the word coming out
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: of Buffalo is they'll play starters. So it looks like
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Saturday at one in Buffalo, starters versus starters. Uh Fidny
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and I go to head on over to check out
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: a little practice here. In a few minutes. Bone has
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: to go sweat at the dog park. We'll both be
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: sweat right now. Right now, we're in two days, two
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: trips to the dog park every day, every day.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: You got to know to tire them out, though.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: And I've warned that if I drive him there to
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: the dog park, I get more out of them, Okay,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: And if he walks there, he's dead tired.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Pluse, not going to practice. Not a football guy. You
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: try to trigger Bone again.
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: Hey, weeks into the invitation, he's got puppies, pupies, time out,
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: time out.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: You you extended an invitation. We ask you like you,
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: like you run the practice. Who says I'm not you?
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: You?
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Maybe Dave Canalis you you have you you you you
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: you you have these days? You know what you know?
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: What can I tell you why you're sad today? While
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: you're mad today because we listened to Willy just scold
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: you off the air.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: And now you're mad at oh?
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Well, first off, just I mean he's you're just yelling
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: at Fitty right in your place. You get put down
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: by Willie, then you watch out.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Fty said, yes, mister Palacik, what you said. Is that
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: what I thought I heard you say that?
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: No, I actually said, he's telling a Mickey Mouse high
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: pitch and effort.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: You said, yes, your honor. At one point you were
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: so you were so he did he slammed that phone down.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: By the way, he slammed that phone down after talking
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: to Willy. Oh is there another scrap of root between
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: the two body?
• 42:51
