Transcript
- 0:21Speaker 1: I think if you're a middle-of-the-road team, Bill Belichick has
- 0:25Speaker 1: certainly ample opportunity to beat you. And that's just us
- 0:28Speaker 1: maybe being a little biased towards that because he's the
- 0:30Speaker 1: greatest NFL coach of all time. So we assume he's
- 0:32Speaker 1: going to be a good college football coach. It didn't
- 0:34Speaker 1: look like that last year. They didn't even have a
- 0:36Speaker 1: recruiting class last year. I think if you listen to
- 0:37Speaker 1: them talk about it all, while under fire a lot,
- 0:40Speaker 1: they were under siege a lot with a lot of distractions.
- 0:42Speaker 1: And then did you see after the game? players said, hey,
- 0:45Speaker 1: you take a lot of shit for us. We appreciate you.
- 0:47Speaker 1: First ranked win, they gave him a ball, and then
- 0:49Speaker 1: they celebrated with him, and Bill was smiling. It felt
- 0:51Speaker 1: like he actually has a little bit of a culture
- 0:53Speaker 1: set in there somehow. I don't know how he's been
- 0:55Speaker 1: able to do it, but I think North Carolina would
- 0:56Speaker 1: be a problem for teams.
- 0:58Speaker 2: There's a little bit of a culture set there somehow.
- 1:01Speaker 2: I don't know how he's done it. Yeah, that's Pat
- 1:04Speaker 2: McAfee talking about UNC, and they got Duke this weekend,
- 1:07Speaker 2: and that is a juicy one. I think it'll be
- 1:09Speaker 2: a hell of a game. And I do want to
- 1:11Speaker 2: say this, Bone. I do think, like, when I saw
- 1:14Speaker 2: that it was Jordan Shipp giving them the game ball
- 1:17Speaker 2: and how happy the guys were for Bill, and he
- 1:19Speaker 2: did say that, like, you take all this crap for us, man,
- 1:22Speaker 2: and we love you for it. Like, they're starting to
- 1:26Speaker 2: establish something. I honestly think the vibes at the program
- 1:31Speaker 2: probably improved when Michael Lombardi was out of there. And
- 1:36Speaker 2: he took his typewriter with him? He took that typewriter
- 1:39Speaker 2: out and just had it on out. And maybe that's
- 1:42Speaker 2: more with the people in the administration and the staff,
- 1:47Speaker 2: the people that had to deal with him more. Maybe
- 1:48Speaker 2: it's not the players. But I just think that dude
- 1:51Speaker 2: was bad at his job and a complete pain in
- 1:54Speaker 2: the rear to deal with the way it's– I almost
- 1:57Speaker 2: feel like they lifted a black cloud when they got
- 1:59Speaker 2: rid of him. And I don't know if Steve, I
- 2:01Speaker 2: don't want to talk too much about the Steve Belichick thing.
- 2:03Speaker 2: We don't know all the details, but that one too
- 2:05Speaker 2: might have met. That one might've made, you.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Know, lifted a black cloud as well. And Jordan's been
- 2:10Speaker 3: quieter this year than last year. And it's not all
- 2:13Speaker 3: about her and the drama. So it feels like this year.
- 2:17Speaker 3: has been much more about football than everything else. I
- 2:20Speaker 3: know that stuff happened with Belichick and Lombardi, but I
- 2:23Speaker 3: feel like they resemble more of a football program than
- 2:27Speaker 3: some television program we're watching develop before our eyes.
- 2:31Speaker 4: 100%.
- 2:31Speaker 2: So I give Bill a little credit here. Obviously, we've
- 2:33Speaker 2: been critical. The whole free world's been critical. Although she
- 2:36Speaker 2: could have Belichick in a Halloween costume pretty soon. Jordan
- 2:39Speaker 2: Hudson is a black cloud in a cheerleading outfit, by
- 2:42Speaker 2: the way, speaking of removing black clouds. But you're right.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Somebody texted about the other day, said, I don't know
- 2:47Speaker 2: if it's coincidence, but Jordan hasn't really seemed to be
- 2:50Speaker 2: around and things have been going better. She's there at
- 2:52Speaker 2: every game, though, supporting her boo. Supporting Billy the Boo.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Billy the Boo. That probably isn't the coolest thing I've
- 3:00Speaker 2: ever said.
- 3:00Speaker 3: You just called yourself on the break Captain Corny about
- 3:03Speaker 3: a minute ago.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I know, and I proved it. Captain Corny! All right,
- 3:07Speaker 2: let's talk about something a texter sent in. And this
- 3:11Speaker 2: could be addressed by all local college football fans. I
- 3:14Speaker 2: do think it's an interesting point. So, we got a text,
- 3:19Speaker 2: I think it was yesterday, Bone, where he texted, maybe
- 3:22Speaker 2: it was two days ago, but we were saying something
- 3:25Speaker 2: about not liking the 2014 playoff idea. Which, by the way,
- 3:30Speaker 2: if you read the latest stuff, it does seem like,
- 3:33Speaker 2: there was a report yesterday, Bone, that it just feels
- 3:35Speaker 2: like it is... It's getting really close to that being done.
- 3:39Speaker 2: The deadline is December 1st, and it just feels like
- 3:42Speaker 2: this is probably the last season of the 12-team playoff.
- 3:46Speaker 2: And the texter said something, I'll just paraphrase it. Can't
- 3:49Speaker 2: believe it's already ending. It seems like it just began.
- 3:52Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. And they wanted to do it after one year.
- 3:55Speaker 2: But anyway, the texter said something to the effect of,
- 3:58Speaker 2: I keep hearing you guys and your listeners say, bad mouth,
- 4:02Speaker 2: the 2014 playoff. He said, when you root for all
- 4:05Speaker 2: these teams in the Carolinas that don't, they don't have
- 4:08Speaker 2: a chance at a 12 team playoff. Why would, why
- 4:11Speaker 2: would the local fans not embrace doubling the playoff field? Huh?
- 4:16Speaker 2: And I think this is like, and you look at
- 4:18Speaker 2: wake forest right now, like, yeah, they've got a chance
- 4:21Speaker 2: at a 12 team playoff, but 2014 playoff, if you're
- 4:23Speaker 2: a fan, How good would you feel about your chances then?
- 4:27Speaker 2: What do you think about that bone? Like you were
- 4:29Speaker 2: for Duke and South Carolina. I think you're, you're, you know,
- 4:32Speaker 2: that's two of the fans. Like last year, Duke would
- 4:34Speaker 2: have been in, in a 2014 field health of the
- 4:37Speaker 2: sport and the meaning of the regular season being diminished.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I just, that's why I don't like it. It also
- 4:43Speaker 2: feels like it's too much, too fast. We were at
- 4:45Speaker 2: four teams like three years ago. But I wouldn't blame
- 4:51Speaker 2: fans of the local teams saying, hey, you know what?
- 4:55Speaker 2: Now you put it that way, I think I won
- 4:57Speaker 2: 24 teams.
- 4:57Speaker 3: It's moving faster than Finney's relationship, to be quite honest
- 5:00Speaker 3: about it. Oh, and that's fast. That's a speed of light.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Gator Rube has a point here, and I disagree with it.
- 5:06Speaker 3: He says Wake versus Georgia in the first round, what's
- 5:09Speaker 3: the spread? Because when it comes to stuff like that, obviously...
- 5:13Speaker 3: A lot of the teams here, Mac, wouldn't go very far.
- 5:16Speaker 3: But I still think if you're one of the 24
- 5:18Speaker 3: and you're in those standalone windows, those playoff games, that's
- 5:23Speaker 3: big for programs like Wake, for recruiting, for the money
- 5:27Speaker 3: that they need. Yeah, the results may not go their way,
- 5:31Speaker 3: especially in a game like Wake and Georgia, for example.
- 5:34Speaker 3: But just being in those matchups, getting the attention, being
- 5:37Speaker 3: in standalone windows for your program would be huge for Wake.
- 5:41Speaker 3: for Duke, for State, for Carolina, for the game, for
- 5:44Speaker 3: all those schools. That would be massive for them to be.
- 5:47Speaker 2: In those spots. It would be. No, that's true. And
- 5:49Speaker 2: I don't know, like, I think with the, is the
- 5:52Speaker 2: way they would do it the most talked about way
- 5:53Speaker 2: that the first eight teams would get bys? and then
- 5:57Speaker 2: the bottom 16 would play in round one. All right,
- 5:59Speaker 2: so the SEC gets buys. And then the eight winners
- 6:01Speaker 2: would play the eight buy. I think that's the way
- 6:03Speaker 2: they're talking. So I don't think you would get that
- 6:05Speaker 2: extreme in the first round. But I get, like, I'm
- 6:09Speaker 2: with you on that one, though, Rube, just the general
- 6:11Speaker 2: sense of what you're saying. This is another reason I
- 6:13Speaker 2: don't want it for the sake of college football. Like, watching,
- 6:17Speaker 2: if it's 24 against 9... You know what I mean?
- 6:22Speaker 2: I just don't think that's good for the sport, watching
- 6:24Speaker 2: 10 against 23. Now, you will get more on campus games,
- 6:29Speaker 2: which I do like that idea of, but I've always
- 6:33Speaker 2: liked the exclusivity of the college football playoff. They just
- 6:36Speaker 2: went to 12. We barely.
- 6:39Speaker 2: I just feel like they should have let 12 breathe
- 6:41Speaker 2: longer than they did.
- 6:42Speaker 3: I have a question about it, though. I've mainly been
- 6:45Speaker 3: on your side, but if I'm looking the other way,
- 6:47Speaker 3: I do have a question about what you're saying about
- 6:50Speaker 3: those matchups. And I know it's different in that sport,
- 6:54Speaker 3: but we do love March Madness and we do love
- 6:56Speaker 3: talking about lopsided matchups and who can pull off upsets.
- 6:59Speaker 3: We do talk about March Madness in that way. We
- 7:02Speaker 3: look at 16-versus-1s and 15-versus-2s and try to figure out
- 7:05Speaker 3: who could pull off an upset.
- 7:07Speaker 2: We do have the most parity in the sport we've seen, man.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Sometimes in college basketball, obviously, it goes major blowout city,
- 7:15Speaker 3: but there are times where the games are closer than
- 7:16Speaker 3: we think.
- 7:17Speaker 2: So who knows? Yeah, I mean, and we are in—
- 7:19Speaker 2: That's why we love March, right? Football has never really
- 7:22Speaker 2: been the same bone. You know, but we're in an
- 7:26Speaker 2: NIL era where we've we have not really seen this
- 7:28Speaker 2: much parody. So 10 versus 23. I don't know. Is that.
- 7:32Speaker 2: But even if it is, my whole argument is you're
- 7:34Speaker 2: putting in 12 teams that are worse than the 12.
- 7:37Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like you're watering down the field.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Let's see what fans are saying. 704-570-9610. Got a text
- 7:45Speaker 2: from Mikey Swags here. What's Mikey saying?
- 7:48Speaker 3: I don't know. I just like the name Mikey. Mikey Swags, baby.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Forget about it. There are still blowouts in the 12-team
- 7:54Speaker 3: playoff as well.
- 7:55Speaker 2: 100%. Hell, the 14-playoff. Mikey Swags. We were getting blowouts
- 7:58Speaker 2: in the semis. Let's see here. Matt says Wake from
- 8:02Speaker 2: Miami was a great game. Yeah, I mean, maybe great's
- 8:06Speaker 2: a little strong, but they were driving in the fourth
- 8:08Speaker 2: quarter with a chance to cut it to one score.
- 8:10Speaker 2: They were in the red zone with a chance to
- 8:11Speaker 2: cut it. So lost by 13. So they acquitted themselves
- 8:14Speaker 2: pretty well to his point there. It's a good point.
- 8:17Speaker 2: I know that he got off.
- 8:18Speaker 3: To a great start, but, Matt, I think the most
- 8:20Speaker 3: uncomfortable that Mets has looked all year was in the
- 8:22Speaker 3: second half against Wake. They actually pressured Mensah to where
- 8:25Speaker 3: he didn't look that great in that half. Now, Tony
- 8:29Speaker 3: was out, but that was where Mensah actually looked human
- 8:32Speaker 3: in that half.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Not the first half, second half. They did. That defensive
- 8:35Speaker 2: front will get after you at Wake, man. No doubt
- 8:37Speaker 2: about it. This texter says, is it wrong that as
- 8:43Speaker 2: a UNC fan, I don't want to make a cheap
- 8:46Speaker 2: 2014 playoff? It feels like you really haven't earned anything special.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Why are you laughing? Finney, you're a UNC fan. What
- 8:58Speaker 2: do you think of this guy's opinion? Can a UNC
- 8:59Speaker 2: football fan act like that? Like, I don't want to
- 9:03Speaker 2: be in it unless it's 12 team. If you put
- 9:06Speaker 2: it to 20, like what's next bone, a UNC fan
- 9:08Speaker 2: texts in and says they want them to turn the
- 9:10Speaker 2: bin down. If they, in the future, make the 2014 field,
- 9:14Speaker 2: do you fit? Do you like the 2014 playoff idea
- 9:17Speaker 2: because it would give your heels a better chance in
- 9:20Speaker 2: the future? Or, or does that not play into it?
- 9:22Speaker 5: If I look at it with my fandom and play
- 9:25Speaker 5: massive in favor of a 2014 playoff, because I don't
- 9:30Speaker 5: know how realistically, how often Carolina could compete in a
- 9:33Speaker 5: 12 team playoff. format i think you open it up
- 9:37Speaker 5: to 24 teams yes they would have made it under
- 9:39Speaker 5: sam they would have made it with drake may i
- 9:42Speaker 5: think maybe at some point hopefully you could say you
- 9:44Speaker 5: made it under bill belichick i look at it from
- 9:47Speaker 5: your point of view mac like i was listening to
- 9:50Speaker 5: josh payton talk about this on his podcast.
- 9:54Speaker 2: He was all over it this week.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Georgia-Bama was great. And there was a great atmosphere in T-Town.
- 10:01Speaker 5: And there was a sense of urgency in that game.
- 10:05Speaker 5: But imagine if that game takes place in a 24 team.
- 10:09Speaker 5: There's no repercussion for teams that lose that game.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 10:12Speaker 5: Because those teams are still going to, A, make the playoff, B,
- 10:16Speaker 5: still very well be alive to get buys in the playoffs.
- 10:20Speaker 5: What makes college football different is that every weekend matters.
- 10:25Speaker 5: And that got lessened when we went from 4 to 12.
- 10:28Speaker 5: If you go from 12 to 24, how many of
- 10:31Speaker 5: these great weekends, like look at this upcoming weekend of
- 10:33Speaker 5: college football. It is tremendous.
- 10:36Speaker 2: Wouldn't matter.
- 10:38Speaker 5: There's no repercussions for the teams that lose.
- 10:41Speaker 2: The games that would matter, Fitty, would involve worse teams. Yes.
- 10:45Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Teams that aren't championship caliber.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Our team's here. And that goes back to the point.
- 10:53Speaker 2: I don't know, Bone. It's like, are we missing a better,
- 10:58Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know what it is. I just
- 11:00Speaker 2: love college football so much. Like that I can't, I
- 11:05Speaker 2: don't know. I don't look at this selfishly. And I
- 11:07Speaker 2: feel like I usually look at sports selfishly. But for
- 11:10Speaker 2: some reason, I just want to protect the great game
- 11:13Speaker 2: of college football. And the other thing, too, is Josh
- 11:15Speaker 2: Pate made a great point this week. Let's all be
- 11:17Speaker 2: honest about the reason why, Bone, the powers that be
- 11:21Speaker 2: want the 2014. It's a bailout, in the words of
- 11:25Speaker 2: Josh Pate. It's, oh, my God, we've got ourselves into
- 11:27Speaker 2: this situation where we need money for so many different things. Oh,
- 11:32Speaker 2: my God, we actually got to pay the players now.
- 11:35Speaker 2: It has a lot to do with the need for money.
- 11:38Speaker 2: as much as anything. The biggest reason why I'm.
- 11:40Speaker 5: Open to a 2014 playoff more than anything, Mac is
- 11:43Speaker 5: that it would bring a different TV network to the table.
- 11:47Speaker 2: But it doesn't sound like it would. I saw something yesterday.
- 11:49Speaker 5: Oh, so now we can expand to 24 and ESPN
- 11:52Speaker 5: still gets to drive the narrative?
- 11:53Speaker 2: It sounds like it. Oh, then to hell with this.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Because you know ESPN's been negotiating. They have that window
- 11:59Speaker 2: to negotiate that's just ending. There was a report saying, Bone,
- 12:02Speaker 2: it looks like it could very well still be all ESPN.
- 12:04Speaker 5: Then why would CBS and NBC pay for college football games?
- 12:08Speaker 5: If you can't have your feet at the table to
- 12:10Speaker 5: have playoff games and be able to drive your own
- 12:13Speaker 5: narrative for the Big Ten, what's the point of them
- 12:15Speaker 5: even televising the damn conferences?
- 12:17Speaker 3: Same reason ESPN broadcasts college basketball. They don't have March Madness.
- 12:22Speaker 3: College football games do much bigger ratings than college basketball.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Here's the thing, though, Fitty, to your point, it doesn't
- 12:28Speaker 3: help the regular season games. ESPN gets the postseason games,
- 12:33Speaker 3: but now a lot of the big games, to your point,
- 12:35Speaker 3: are diminished on the networks. but yet Fox and CBS
- 12:39Speaker 3: and NBC don't get a part of the book. So
- 12:41Speaker 3: I'm sure it's not ideal for them. Um, I don't know, man,
- 12:45Speaker 3: this dude says I'm a Clemson fan. I'm embarrassed that
- 12:48Speaker 3: we made a 12 team playoff, 14 playoff.
- 12:51Speaker 2: We're embarrassed for you. I'm, That's another thing, too. I'm
- 12:56Speaker 2: not trying to be rude bone to our local fan
- 12:58Speaker 2: bases that butter our bread. You know what I mean?
- 13:02Speaker 2: Butter them biscuits. Where are these attitudes getting from that
- 13:05Speaker 2: our teams in the Carolinas are too good for expanded playoffs?
- 13:07Speaker 2: I don't get that.
- 13:08Speaker 3: This Ask the Audience has been courtesy of QC Mechanical,
- 13:11Speaker 3: your local... HVAC experts. Mac, I wanted to read a
- 13:14Speaker 3: text before we go to break here. I'm going to
- 13:17Speaker 3: try not to laugh when I read it. A texter says,
- 13:20Speaker 3: let's go back to the era of the BCS. Simply
- 13:24Speaker 3: one verse two, a time when men were men. Oh yeah,
- 13:27Speaker 3: that was perfect. That worked out beautifully. No controversies. The
- 13:31Speaker 3: early 2000s, the time when men were men. That's exactly right.
- 13:34Speaker 3: When we come back, it's a random crap segment. Is
- 13:37Speaker 3: the college football video game going away again already? We
- 13:42Speaker 3: have a sports broadcasting duo at odds. Is that us,
- 13:45Speaker 3: by the way? And two new sports TV streaming shows
- 13:49Speaker 3: are on the way. We talk about all that on
- 13:51Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 13:57Speaker 4: Random crap, random crap. Mac and Bone talk, random crap.
- 14:01Speaker 4: Random crap, random crap. Mac and Bone talk, random crap. Random,
- 14:07Speaker 4: random crap. Random crap, random crap.
- 14:13Speaker 2: What the deuce? Oh, crap.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Oh, crap.
- 14:16Speaker 2: We stink. Like a baby's blowout infested diaper.
- 14:20Speaker 4: They talk about crap that is random.
- 14:22Speaker 3: It's the Queen City's favorite born in tandem.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Mack and Bone. Random crap.
- 14:27Speaker 4: Mack and Bone.
- 14:31Speaker 2: All right, y'all. It is random crap time here. On
- 14:35Speaker 2: the Mac and Bone Show, we got some fun stories
- 14:38Speaker 2: to hit you with. At the top of the hour,
- 14:41Speaker 2: victory formula time, baby. To beat the Eagles, to win
- 14:45Speaker 2: a game that it feels like we should win. But
- 14:48Speaker 2: it feels like we're all worried about whether or not
- 14:50Speaker 2: we actually will. So that's coming up at 8 o'clock.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Let's start here with random crap, Boney. I want to
- 14:56Speaker 2: shout out our former co-worker, Brian Tilley, who has texted in, Boney,
- 15:00Speaker 2: and he has shared a link. Brian Tilley, you remember Tilley? Oh, yeah, Tilley, yeah.
- 15:05Speaker 2: I was trying to say it was Brian for a second.
- 15:06Speaker 2: He has sent in a link from Barstool where they're asking,
- 15:10Speaker 2: this could be another ask the audience question here on
- 15:12Speaker 2: the show, where they are asking all their employees what
- 15:15Speaker 2: the easiest position is to play in sports. Now, someone
- 15:20Speaker 2: on there says quarterback, and I find that to be laughable.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Third string quarterback is my dream. What position is the
- 15:26Speaker 2: easiest one in sport? I'm going punter. I'm going punter.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Like kicker, I would never say. I would never say
- 15:31Speaker 2: long snapper. You have games on the line at kicker. Punter, though,
- 15:36Speaker 2: you practice punting a football. I mean, they don't even
- 15:40Speaker 2: let them hit you. You barely need to make a tackle.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Like punter is the first thing that popped into my head.
- 15:47Speaker 3: Not an enormous amount of pressure, I'd say, compared to
- 15:51Speaker 3: the kicker.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to be punter, right? I would think so.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Turd Ferguson, long snapper. How dare you, sir? No. JJ
- 15:59Speaker 2: could be listening, sir. No, it's not. We are not
- 16:03Speaker 2: doing that in this house. Like, what other positions would
- 16:06Speaker 2: you even think of in sports? Because it's not basketball.
- 16:09Speaker 2: It wouldn't be any other football. Like, it can't be, like,
- 16:11Speaker 2: relief pitcher. No. Because you get in there, all the
- 16:14Speaker 2: pressure in the world could be on you. Low leverage
- 16:16Speaker 2: relief pitcher? You also have to.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Like, the guy that goes in when you're getting blown out?
- 16:19Speaker 3: You also have to throw, like, 98 now, which is
- 16:21Speaker 3: not easy to do. So, I don't know. Patton Mount Pleasant, golfer.
- 16:25Speaker 2: As mentally tough as that game is yeah let me
- 16:28Speaker 2: tell you you're out there yourself you have no teammates
- 16:30Speaker 2: to help you golfers not easy.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Now we're talking about like position and like the main
- 16:35Speaker 3: we're not talking about like dart throwers and so we're
- 16:37Speaker 3: talking about like of the main sports easiest position to
- 16:39Speaker 3: play right.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Dirt i would assume ders in huntersville says placeholder for
- 16:43Speaker 2: the kicker but they're usually have another job but would
- 16:47Speaker 2: you how about third string quarterback slash holder That seems
- 16:50Speaker 2: like a good gig. I call that my dream. Baron
- 16:55Speaker 2: says male cheerleaders. Caddy. Matt. Yeah, I'd like to be
- 17:01Speaker 2: a caddy. But you got to actually know stuff, though,
- 17:04Speaker 2: to be a caddy. That would disqualify me. Yeah. I
- 17:08Speaker 2: don't know, man.
- 17:10Speaker 3: I think it's if we're talking about the main sport,
- 17:13Speaker 3: I would think it has to be punter.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Welcome down, says long snapper. You can do it into
- 17:17Speaker 2: your 70s, apparently. I don't like this passive-aggressive stuff towards
- 17:21Speaker 2: JJ going on. Anyway, keep those texts coming. Bullpen catcher.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Backup catcher. Backup catcher that handles the bullpen. My best
- 17:30Speaker 2: friend in.
- 17:30Speaker 3: High school was a bullpen catcher, and he used to
- 17:32Speaker 3: get harassed by the opposing fans down the line. So
- 17:34Speaker 3: you're saying that's not fun. No, they would call him Fatty,
- 17:36Speaker 3: Fatty McGee. Like, oh, yeah, it was ugly.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Someone says first baseman. I don't know. You've got to
- 17:41Speaker 2: clean up those. You've got to stretch and clean up
- 17:43Speaker 2: those little hoppers. Those throws that come to you in
- 17:46Speaker 2: the dirt. There's no way that's easy. Yeah, I wouldn't
- 17:48Speaker 2: think so. Plus, you still have to hit or you
- 17:49Speaker 2: ain't going to have your job. What are you talking
- 17:51Speaker 2: about here? All right, DH. No. Someone that says DH. No,
- 17:54Speaker 2: you have to still hit the baseball. Kevin says LeBron James' son. Winner. Winner. Winner.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Kevin wins, baby. Kevin wins the text line.
- 18:03Speaker 4: Winner. All right.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Let's get to some more stories. Shout out Brian Tilly
- 18:07Speaker 2: and Barstool. That was a good question. All right. So, Bone,
- 18:10Speaker 2: there is apparently some tension between Joe Buck and Troy Aikman,
- 18:15Speaker 2: according to a front office sports report. They both have
- 18:18Speaker 2: been going through contract situations. Joe Buck got his contract.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Aikman is not. And apparently they got into an argument
- 18:25Speaker 2: about it, Bone. And there is tension there. How do
- 18:28Speaker 2: you feel about the Buck-Aikman tension? Some people are thinking
- 18:31Speaker 2: this could lead to Aikman walking from ESPN.
- 18:34Speaker 3: What do you think of all this? There's been something
- 18:36Speaker 3: going on here. I don't know if Buck, you know,
- 18:39Speaker 3: they signed together with ESPN. They've been together, by the way, for...
- 18:44Speaker 3: Since 2005, they are like best friends. Imagine that, be
- 18:48Speaker 3: with a broadcasting partner since 2005. That's insane to be
- 18:50Speaker 3: together for that long.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Good morning, Mac.
- 18:54Speaker 3: I've wondered, is there, this is just my speculation, does
- 18:59Speaker 3: ESPN want to put McAfee in the booth with them
- 19:03Speaker 3: or in some role? Joe Buck doesn't mind it, signed
- 19:07Speaker 3: right away, and Aikman, the football guy, is like, I'm
- 19:10Speaker 3: not doing this. I wonder if they're just my guess.
- 19:12Speaker 3: Because money-wise, you would think it'd be pretty equal. Aikman's
- 19:16Speaker 3: already filthy rich. It may not be money, but what
- 19:19Speaker 3: would hold back Aikman from signing when Buck did it
- 19:21Speaker 3: right away? And a couple weeks ago, Mac, Joe Buck
- 19:25Speaker 3: on the broadcast, they showed McAfee on the sidelines. He said, hey,
- 19:29Speaker 3: there's our friend Pat McAfee. And McAfee like waved during
- 19:32Speaker 3: the game. Troy Eggman said nothing back at all to
- 19:35Speaker 3: that at all.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Troy Eggman says, is that the guy you're trying to place.
- 19:38Speaker 5: Here, Joe?
- 19:38Speaker 2: I wonder if Buck's been like, yeah, let's throw him
- 19:40Speaker 2: in here.
- 19:40Speaker 3: And then Eggman's kind of like, you're not taking money.
- 19:42Speaker 2: I will say this. McAfee came out the other day
- 19:44Speaker 2: and said all this stuff about me being in the
- 19:46Speaker 2: booth is BS. All that stuff. But Well, right now
- 19:48Speaker 2: he's doing- What's he going to say? Right now he's
- 19:50Speaker 2: doing Disney voiceovers. That's true. And he's got another job now,
- 19:52Speaker 2: his 1,700th job, voicing a character for Hext. Speaking of
- 19:58Speaker 2: entertainment vehicles- How about the two new sports streaming shows
- 20:04Speaker 2: that are in the works? One of them is going
- 20:06Speaker 2: to be out soon. This one is called The Land.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Have you read about this one, Bone? I don't think so.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Fictitious story. It's on Hulu coming up. Okay. Fictitious story
- 20:18Speaker 2: that follows the inner workings of a struggling NFL franchise
- 20:22Speaker 2: named the Cleveland Browns. What a fictitious tale. Where'd they
- 20:27Speaker 2: get the idea for this one?
- 20:30Speaker 3: Episode one, they sign a quarterback that is under fire
- 20:34Speaker 3: for his massage therapy past. to a massive contract obviously
- 20:38Speaker 3: it's a very fake show I don't know it sounds
- 20:40Speaker 3: kind of cheesy to me it's like meddlesome owner I
- 20:44Speaker 3: don't know it has all the stereotypical things that you
- 20:46Speaker 3: would See in this like fake conflict stuff. They should
- 20:50Speaker 3: do a movie on a struggling baseball team in Cleveland.
- 20:54Speaker 3: A comedic look at baseball in Cleveland.
- 20:57Speaker 2: I don't know if this is comedic or not, but yes,
- 21:02Speaker 2: they hit with that one. Who wants to see?
- 21:04Speaker 3: I'm not feeling this. We don't want to see the
- 21:05Speaker 3: real Browns. Never mind a fictitious Browns team.
- 21:07Speaker 2: I'm not feeling this. Change the city up. Now, I
- 21:10Speaker 2: will tell you this next one I'm all in on.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Netflix is doing a documentary on DeJuan Love. Is that
- 21:17Speaker 2: his name? The dude that pretended to be a 49ers
- 21:20Speaker 2: wide receiver and, like, frauded all these women out of money.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Netflix is doing a doc on that. Wide Deceiver is
- 21:28Speaker 2: what the name of it's going to be, which is tremendous.
- 21:31Speaker 2: I am all in. You know what that is? That's
- 21:33Speaker 2: like Tinder Swindler with football. That was a great one.
- 21:37Speaker 2: That's what that is. And I love that movie. I
- 21:39Speaker 2: love that doc.
- 21:40Speaker 3: Have you been into the Saban documentary at all yet?
- 21:43Speaker 2: I have not. I've seen a lot of clips of it.
- 21:45Speaker 2: A few minutes last week's first episode. I don't know.
- 21:49Speaker 2: I kind of get Saban'd out. You know, he's on
- 21:53Speaker 2: commercials every other break trying to decide. He's trying to
- 21:56Speaker 2: decide if he's on Aflac. He's trying to decide if
- 21:58Speaker 2: he's going to eat a sandwich or do his drilling.
- 22:02Speaker 2: You know what I mean? But and he's also on
- 22:05Speaker 2: on game day. But it looks like it might be
- 22:08Speaker 2: good content.
- 22:09Speaker 3: We also have the new, that came out last week,
- 22:11Speaker 3: the new Mike Tyson documentary on Netflix.
- 22:14Speaker 2: I have not seen that one yet either. What?
- 22:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that one pop up when I was
- 22:18Speaker 3: looking last night. Did you see what the name of
- 22:20Speaker 3: that one is? I'm Spartacus.
- 22:22Speaker 2: I'm Copernicus. I'm Gideon's children. That's the name of it?
- 22:24Speaker 3: No, I mean.
- 22:26Speaker 2: I would have liked that.
- 22:27Speaker 3: That would be a silly name for a documentary. I
- 22:28Speaker 3: would have liked that name.
- 22:31Speaker 2: So what do you think, Bone, about the speculation that's
- 22:34Speaker 2: out there in the media that because of the NIL
- 22:37Speaker 2: money going up and up, that it'll cost too much
- 22:40Speaker 2: money now to get the players... to pay all the
- 22:44Speaker 2: players for rights to use them in the EA Sports
- 22:47Speaker 2: college football video game. And there's a real fear from
- 22:50Speaker 2: many that the college football video game bone could be
- 22:54Speaker 2: going away just a few years after it coming back.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Also, we're supposed to get the college basketball video game
- 23:01Speaker 3: next year also. So is that going to make a
- 23:04Speaker 3: one-year return and just be gone for another 20 years?
- 23:07Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't like where this is headed.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Are you guys still enjoying the college football video game? Like,
- 23:12Speaker 2: is this still, has the luster worn off? Because I
- 23:15Speaker 2: haven't played it since the first year back.
- 23:17Speaker 3: I play it when it first comes out for the year,
- 23:19Speaker 3: but then once the actual, like it gets my football
- 23:22Speaker 3: fix in for a few weeks, and then we get
- 23:24Speaker 3: so busy with actual football, I kind of lose it
- 23:26Speaker 3: a little bit during the season. Yeah.
- 23:28Speaker 2: I mean, I'm playing it, but I'm not playing it
- 23:29Speaker 2: as often as I used to. Are you still taking
- 23:31Speaker 2: the Tar Heels to great footballing heights, Fetty, or no?
- 23:34Speaker 5: No, I probably pick back up in the offseason.
- 23:37Speaker 2: There's just too much. I don't have time to do
- 23:38Speaker 2: stuff right now. That's understandable, though. It still would be
- 23:43Speaker 2: a bummer, man. That's a beloved game. It still would.
- 23:46Speaker 2: But I understand they also have to pay all the
- 23:48Speaker 2: conferences for rights, Bone. There's so many rights, like coaches.
- 23:52Speaker 2: There's just so many different rights fees involved. that they
- 23:54Speaker 2: have to pay. All right. I will wrap this up
- 23:57Speaker 2: bone on this note. Did you have any idea? Usually
- 24:00Speaker 2: I'm on top of celebrity couples, right? Boney. Oh, usually
- 24:03Speaker 2: I know who's dating who, and then some texter texts
- 24:07Speaker 2: in and says, that's why I have low T because
- 24:09Speaker 2: I follow this stuff too much. Um, that literally happened earlier,
- 24:12Speaker 2: but anyway, that couple was Kelly Clarkson and a toy bird.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Did you know that Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Silas
- 24:19Speaker 2: had been a couple for over a year? I had
- 24:21Speaker 2: no idea. All right. He's got an achy, breaky heart
- 24:24Speaker 2: no longer. You're talking about the guy from the T-Mobile ads? Mr. Achy,
- 24:28Speaker 2: breaky heart. Oh, Billy Ray. I thought you said Billy Bob.
- 24:30Speaker 2: I thought you meant Billy Bob Thornton. You said Billy
- 24:32Speaker 2: Ray Cyrus. Yeah, no, no, no. Did you know that?
- 24:35Speaker 3: I thought maybe somewhere along the way, because I saw
- 24:38Speaker 3: a tweet about Miley and her. But maybe I don't
- 24:42Speaker 3: remember it, though. Hell, I just thought you were talking
- 24:44Speaker 3: about Billy Bob Thornton. Doesn't that seem like an odd couple?
- 24:47Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit.
- 24:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:48Speaker 2: A little bit. British and Southern country. But who knows, man?
- 24:53Speaker 2: A lot of people say Mrs. Mac and Mac are
- 24:55Speaker 2: an odd couple. Like, I'm not worthy of her. And
- 24:57Speaker 2: they'd probably be right. Some people say some things about that. Definitely.
