Mac & Bone Hour 4: What is T-Mac's Ceiling · Mac & Bone Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Allow me to reinduce myself.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: My name is Tim willpe Logic.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: All right, Joe that is pe Man's music, and fresh
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: off his TV appearance on Queen City News this morning,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: looking dapper. Got the blazer out, baby, got the FC
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: not FCS national with the players.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Oh it's a Ram jersey. That's sweet.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: So I literally bought this at the advent of before
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: everyone was saying, oh, we can't find these. Apparently now Nike,
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: of course didn't make enough of these.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: They sold out.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: They completely underestimated how much we'd fall in love with
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: his team.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: So I bought the We went to the US Senegal
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: game and I was hoping to find it there. Apparently
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: they had the US men's national team apparently had some
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: shipping issues with getting the realm jerseys here. So I
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: literally ordered this off of like Dick's Sporting Goods sitting
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: in the stadium and got here like I think the
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: day before the first game or whatever. So I basically
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: got like the last Tim Riam jersey that's available in captivity.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: That is sweet, baby, that is very sweet. That are you?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know you're excited for it, and I
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: know you're shut up, Like sure, we are like so
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: many people we're texted in saying they are too. Are
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: you excited but like nervous that they could like disappoint us.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Listen, I mean, how do you feel if we can't
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: beat Bosnia? We have no business being in this part
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: of the tournament. I think is the way that I
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: look at it. I think that that Bosnia look all
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: credit and respect to them, the US is better than
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Bosnia after and I think it's it's one of those
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: things where if everything goes according to plan, which again
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: doesn't always happen in soccer, but if everything goes according
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: to play in the US should be able to control
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: this game. They should be able to take take care
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: of their business and win this game. Not comfortably, but
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I think comfortably enough to where it's like, okay, you
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: could say there's no question and no doubt. The longer
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: it stays nil nil, I get more nervous. But if
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: the US can get an early goal like they did
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: against Paraguay and they did against Australia, then I think
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: there's a situation where Bosnia starts to get desperate. They're
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: very religant on set pieces.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: As you know.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I though you guys are chronicle the fact that you
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: know their height. If you remember back to our quiz,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: we did toget the gymal. Of course, that was one
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: of the questions tell his team in this tournament as Bosnia,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: and they've used that to their advantage more set piece
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: goals than anybody in the group stage. So it is
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: something that they have used to their advantage. But if
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: the US is able to keep possession, create chances not
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: get beat on the counter, this is a game I
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: feel like it plays out very, very favorably for them.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: There's a line in this get in these games at
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: some point, whether it's right after halftime sixteen minutes where
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: teams start to believe and they start to almost push.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: If we get this state in the extra time, they
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: start to believe in themselves. The U ask, to your point,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: has to do what they've done mega statement before it
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: gets that because the teams start believing, it's trouble. What
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of groups for the US and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the past not work. We get excited and then we
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: find out, oh it's not what we thought it was.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Why do you think so far that this group is
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: working to this level?
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: You've gotten the most out of your stars, I think
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: as one hundred percent of the reason, like you've seen
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Christian Polistic look like the guy that he has been
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: promised as. And granted, I know it's only been in
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: you know, one half of one game and twenty minutes
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: of another game, but when he's been on the field,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: he's been dangerous. And I think it's something that goes
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: back to, you know, a lot of the questions that
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: surrounded him before this tournament. I think he answered them
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: against Senegal and know that you know, the Germany game
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: wasn't as strong, but he looked great in the opener
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: against Paraguay. He looked great in the second half against
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Turkey A. And I think also the emergency of a
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: guy like fallerin Balligan has been really really strong in
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: terms of making sure you know, the strikers in these
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: tournaments can steal the show still the headlines a lot
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: easier than in any other tournament because of how precious
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: goals are and how when you get down to this level,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: when you get down to the thirty two best teams
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: in the world, it does come down to can you
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: finish with quality? Can you take the limited amount of
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: chances that you have and make the most out of them.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: If Flow is able to do that again today, then
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: he's cementing himself as one of the greats in the
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: history of the United States.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: How much.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: But we were talking earlier about how Bone said this
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: is going to be the most watched US men's national
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: team game ever and I think.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Until around of sixteen. Yeah, and I think it'll just
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: keep going up if they keep winning. So the pressure
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: on each matchup two for this team.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Definitely well though, Yeah, I mean, I guess today there's
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: a pressure of your favor in a knockout realm, you're
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: supposed to win it. That's not normal. You got to
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: go win it. They also have to pay off the
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: way they started this thing, right, That's the pressure is
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: they got to pay off. What I wanted to say
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: to you, though, is the ratings have been ridiculous. We're
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: talking the dead rubber match didn't mean anything, right, Sure,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: that one was around twenty five million. It was the
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: same ratings as the decisive game for the NBA Finals, which, oh,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: by the way, was the highest ranked finals since MJ's
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: last finals. Then you throw in the first game twenty
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: seven million viewers for that game. This one will probably
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Bone say in top thirty a million.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I agree, I agree.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: How much does this excite you as a soccer guy
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: that the country is really getting behind these boys?
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Man, it's incredible. The one thing though that and I
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: said this, I think it was to KB. The biggest
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: thing is what happens next, because I know, I think
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: we all kind of believe that if they win tonight,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: they win against Belgium or Senegal, they get to the
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: round of eight. That's a nice showing. I don't know
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: if they're going to beat Spain, but my question is
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: what happens next with MLS, What happens next with you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: making sure that the leagues are a both the league
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: is able to spend the amount of money to get
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: these kinds of players in here, because again, I worry
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: that they're not able to capitalize on the momentum. And
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I'm reading a book right now with Paul Tenorio wrote
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: on the coming of Messi to the United States and
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: how there's been a lot of things that I think
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: you thought could come about with the Messi arrival and
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: just things that the league is not delivered on. And
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I think it's one of those things where they have
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: to put themselves in a better position for this to
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: be a win for American soccer, not just the US
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: men's national team, but MLS, even the women's leagues. I
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: think there's definitely an opportunity there. Can you take enough
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: advantage of it? Or are you going to let the
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: spendthrift portion of the ownership groups out there. I'm not
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: including ours in that, obviously, but there's a significant faction
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: of this league that does not want to move it forward,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: and I think that that's curbing the development of this league.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: And I think it's curving what can be a real,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: real win for this country in this sport. If they
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: are able to move forward with that, I think it's
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: an incredible statement of how popular the sport can get.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: But if you're telling me, hey, you know, all it's
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: going to do is make more people watch the Premier
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: League and La Liga and and and the League One
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: and things of that nature, then I don't know how
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: it helps your LFC, and I don't know how it
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: helps the United States.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Did you almost catch You almost had a headline there?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Bone Willie p Charlotte FC announcer calls David Tepper cheap.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: We I can't wait for the game at four today
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Belgium Senegal, because I think that's gonna be one of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: these ones that we've seen a lot of where if
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you're a betting person, you're gonna go draw extra time here,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: draw ninety minutes whatever. That's gonna be one of those.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I want that game to go. Is there a matchup
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in there that you prefer of those two for the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: not trying to look ahead, but if it is Belgimo
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: were senteglf do you prefer one? Because you can go
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: either way on this. Think Belgium's got more top end quality.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I mean Lukaku obviously as a world class player. Saudio
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Moni is a world class player on Senegal, but he
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't have as much help. But Senegal plays very organized
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and structured. You can't overlook them. Who saw them here
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in Charlotte. Maybe familiarity helps you a little bit, could
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: hurt you because Senegal knows what you're gonna bring to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the table. I think there's a tough opportunity, but I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: also think you can beat both teams. And I thought
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Belgium has not looked good or it looked as good
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: as we thought they would at this point of the tournament,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and I think it's a situation where you know the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: homefield advantage will win out either way. I think it's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you know, depending on who they get it obviously maybe
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: changes a little bit of the style of what you're
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: going up against. But I think it's a situation where
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you get down to the round of sixteen. It's not
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: like there's any gamme's past that point. All rights of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: England today having some trouble we seen we saw in Germany,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: have some not what great in the group stage.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: They got to this against trouble is Sunday night and
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: that Cauldron in Mexico.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: That's the thing that that is going to be the
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: toughest game I think for them if they get past
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: the Congo, they got to go to Azteca and play
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: at Mexico on basically a road game with the fans
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: chanting the elevation the.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Beast of I have Brazil, Norway and potentially England Mexico
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: oxygen bad games on Sunday in Brazil, Norway, England Mexico
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: would be for based off the brackets, not US, but
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: probably that's an awesome SUNY's probably.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: The best foursome that wouldn't include the United States of France. Yeah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: All right, Willie pe is with us in studio. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: want to ask you something about the Hornets. I have
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: noticed something when we played that Skip Bayless clip where
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: he said the Hornets were onto something. They should have
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: seen this through for another year. And he's talking about
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the trades, right, And I'm really talking about the the
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: LaMelo trade and I and we brought this up, and
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I as bone and the Texters. Is everybody now okay
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: with the Lamello trade? And I have to be in
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Bone said he is, And I have to be honest.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: The Texters are way less angry than they were last week.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: They've calmed down to the point where I almost think
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: it's the majority of fans are now like this is
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the right way to do it. Jeff Peterson, are you
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: at that point or no?
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Yet it still kind of bothers me because here's here's
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: the thing, and I'm gonna talk about this today at
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: ten o'clock. I think it took away a lot of
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: the soul of the team when you took away LaMelo
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: ball and Miles Bridges. And I'm not saying that that
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Miles is an irreplaceable player. I don't want to go
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: down that road again.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: But I do think it's a score baby Dredge Guardblyer
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Fridge guardbir.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I think it's a situation where you're bringing in a
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: lot of these I don't want to say hired hands,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: but it's a lot of traded dudes, and and that
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: thing kind of maybe affects chemistry a little bit. Like
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: we're gonna learn a lot about what this team is
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: in the first thirty to forty games, because I think
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: they're gonna have to figure out how to play together.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: You have to figure out what Charles Lee wants out
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: of this. Obviously, it's going to be very three point dominant,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: three point dependent. I just I wonder if it has
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: the same type of vibe that we had last year.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I saw a highlight video this morning where it's like,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: you know what, the second half of this past year
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: was fun.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Like you had.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Lamello and Miles throwing lobs, you had Musa Diabate doing
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: the moo siears, you had Kobe White coming in and
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: hitting three pointers off the bench, And it's just, I
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: don't know if you're going to get that back. And again,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: I would have liked to see that through I would
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: have liked to see it beyond you know, feeling like, oh,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: sample sizes against Detroit and Orlando in lied in limited
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: instances are why this thing can't get up over the top.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I would have liked to see, maybe, hey, you add
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: another big piece and run it back with this cord
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: along with that big piece.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: But I'm not.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Doubting the plan. I'm not doubting what they have. I
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: just I don't see it getting immediately better in the
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: short term. Could it be better in the long term, absolutely,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: But I think it's one of those things where I
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: just don't know if I thought that pulling the plug
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: now was the best course of cans I'll tell you
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: what I think.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Calm the stormy waters a wee bit here after the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: mellow thing. I'm not comparing them as the same type
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: of player. I do think the fact that they signed
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Kobe White immediately kind of calmed a little bit, because
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: if Kobe White wasn't brought back right away, there'd be
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that trepidation up all we're gonna lose them to someone
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I was never I was never worried about this, I know,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: but the fact that they did it immediately tells me Okay,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: at least if people are mad at LaMelo, there's a
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: guy there already, you don't have to worry about who's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: going to play that spot. They got him back pretty quickly.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I think that did help a little bit of that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I think I think knew they got the verbal. I'm
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: sure from Kobe. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't have thought they had made that move.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: If they didn't, at least happen somebody went into like
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: this Monday as a free agent and we were in
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: a battle with a team, we'd be a lot. I
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: don't think one happens without the other fish fish once
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: uh once as all to know that we have not
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: calmed down.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: We're still pissed off. At least I am extremely ticked
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: off and hurt.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: So there you go. He is mad. John says mac.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Fish doesn't think they're winning twenty games this year, Judge,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: don't win twenty games.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna be awful, No, no, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I would be shocked if they're still in the play in.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I think I think they're around the same level that
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: they were this year, maybe maybe a little worse. I
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: wouldn't say they're they're four or five wins better. I
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: don't think that at all. I think it probably is
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: again around that thirty five to forty win threshold where
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: you're floundering around the play in round and maybe in
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: maybe out and coming on getting two wins to get flounder.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Speak of floundering. Yeah, people are mad. This dude says,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Mac doesn't speak for me. No mellow, no meat at
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the Hornets games. All right, So maybe I have not everybody.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: It feels like many people bone have. Maybe like you
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: calm down and now are seeing the vision. I see
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the vision, and I do think there's a world where
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: this works. I just want to know what happened that
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the other year. That's what I want to know.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: When do we get cooking on that too?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: It could be multiple I wonder if it's going to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: be there's not one guy per se, or they going
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to use that in multiple ways.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I wonder that you can.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Spread it out into you can use it in two
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: deals if they all, if they wouldn't under.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: The I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind the Drew holiday idea. Again,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: it's a backup, but at the same point in time.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: It's just I just I feel like we're I thought
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: we were beyond this kind of wait and see situation.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: I I love collecting assets. I love feeling like we
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: have a treasure trove. It's burning a hole in my
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: pocket right now. Can I tell you? And they have
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: to do it within a year.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: They got one year to do it, so deadline or
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: even next year around the draft they could use it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I have to tell you something. You were involved in
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: one of the most ridiculous phone chat arguments I have
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: ever heard.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Listen when you were debating whether.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: You was not I was not debating this flounder soccer
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: bone as a kid or church league fitty, who the
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: better athlete?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Who the best? That was a sad discuss.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: You're a miss representing this this conversation. When I was
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: trying to say, we're great athletes coming together. I was
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: trying to say, was if if you did nothing past
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: high school, you don't have the right to be talking
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: about your athletic plots, is what I was basically trying
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: to say.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: So you weren't pumping yourself up putting the other guys down.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Basically, I was simply I was simply talking soccer in
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: my past, where I was a quarterback specialist, essentially towards
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the end, they would bring me in and designed.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I was very good at corner cakes.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Also, I was the laydown specialist, so behind the wall,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I would they'd put me back here.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I need to ask Willy a question. Do you not
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: like soccer Bone? I noticed a little? Or you skeptical
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: of soccer Bone's tails? What is?
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: You are pretty good though on this ru I mean,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: you know, there are bass Master stories, there are Pity's
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Church League stories, and there are Bone soccer stories.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I can't differentiate the three of them. Now, can you
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: separate though my story? Like, I've been pretty good on
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: this World Cup though, I've been into this thing.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: You have you have?
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: You have made some you have made some calculated to
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: and maybe now I'm also a fan of. Uh, I'm
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: also a fan of Help me out, Chelsea Chelsea fan.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: What what stadium does Chelsea play their home games?
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: They don't allow sponsored stadiums. It's just the soccer stadium
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: out there. It's a whole, the whole thing.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: They got a couple of Chelsea some time in the
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: World Cup. Keep in mind, I admittedly said, I know nothing.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I have to work my way to that. Okay, Yeah,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: stadium is it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Gonna I'll know it's real if you buy it. Chelsea
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: fitted that's what that's what I know. It's uh, It's stadium,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Chelse Teca, It's it's okay, the Stanford Bridge.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: That's that's correct. Finally foinally got the Google machine work.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: But I admit Willie, when I picked a team, I
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: don't know a lot about them yet, but I'm not.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not giving up on this. He will he bring
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: in a diddy a drug. But secondhand, Jersey, is that
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: what's gonna happen? Asked about Everton, questioning the stadium.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: They did play at Goodison Park, but they just put
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: the new uh a new arena.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know the name of it. You got your halfway.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: He knew that he was getting wed. You guys have
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: to get rog Bennett, who was the the Everton fan.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: We needed. We need to get raj On to see
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: whether or not he is approved.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, seven O four number says, y'all can give bone
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: a hard time. I believe that he was a corner expert,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: corner kicktaker, way more than I believe Fiddy was good
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: at any sport when he was a kid, said.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Really said that soccer was his best sport. But he
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: did behind his soccer was his best sport. You don't
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: buy that, I tell Varsity again, tell us the story.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Coach shut him to go chase after a ball. I
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: didn't want to do that.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to do That's actually the most believe
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: he said. A lot of soccer, Fitty is chasing after
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the ball.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: So what were you do with that? Like you mean
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: in a like live and in action, or you mean
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: the ball like he wants you to get like he
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: kicked it away and to get down time.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: It was in actice during a it was it was
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: during a drill, and he didn't like the effort.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: That I gave.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: And I that's that's not that's very it's just sounding
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: more believable.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: In the minute this Textter says, no way, Willy p
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: had one sack as an edge rusher. Mac heightens him
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: up like he was Jalen Phillips incorrect. Oh you did
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: have a sack?
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: I did?
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, WILLI Bosa baby the lost Bosa brother. All right?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Fitty one says a second just couldn't be because
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the city's stuck gtting good prs out just ask Atty
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Royal a Royal teammate.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Baby, I feel like we tried that, though you did.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: He doesn't remember because he transferred away and he had
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: a had the men in black. Uh uh mind scrambler
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: because he all you remembers is state title at Westfield.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: That's all you remember. That's all the job by Willie.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of soccer coverage all the time at Willie
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: p Style on Twitter, especially during the game tonight.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Gave WILLI a follow their week and.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: You're hosting today too, right, Yes, for Colin with Colin
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: though in for Colin with Collins, we might have to
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: rename Collins because people get confused, but we have to
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: rename Collins.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I think we'll be here because Colin and Collins, who
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: goes together? We come back.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: T Matt gets right eighty seventh on the NFL Player's
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Top one hundred after just one year. What is this
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Ceilings fourth Radio ninety two seven.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: That'll be pretty exciting that yeah, yeah, that yeah, that
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: play a fourth down. We gotta come very on a
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: play like that. Two for two today is Carolina on
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: this crucial.
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: Fourth young QI, He's covered when I throw that ball,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: but he's if he's step by step, that means he's open.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: He does a great job for the Jet seen fading.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: That's not an easy catch at all. When you have
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: a guy that you know you can trust with the
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: games in line like that, it mays or.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: That is Bryce Young. On the two minute plus piece
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: All about t mat Hetero, McMillan named the number eighty
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: seven player in the NFL per the NFL players on
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: the Player's Top one hundred bone. It had been seven
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: years since we even had two players that were on
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: this list. I think you have to literally go back
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: ten years after the twenty fifteen season to find when
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: they've had three players.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: We had like nine or ten that year, by the way,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: which is insane to think about tons tons. We now
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: we'd the league of players on the active roster on
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the top. It's not a lot. It's three Saints have three,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: but the Mario Davis is on the Jets. But so
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: so far we are the best even the world.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: We dominate the bottom fifteen of the top one hundred, y'all.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: But it is a sign of growth, It is a
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: sign of respect around the league for our players. Picking
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: up Bryce was named ninety eight, Derek Brown ninety and
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: now Tea Mac eighty seven, and we were talking about
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: it earlier. I I'm the wrong guy to ask because
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: yesterday I was very skeptical bone and thought we wouldn't
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: get any more players, even if we deserve to. But yeah,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: you were bringing up horn Devin Lloyd is there is
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: there more Panther players coming?
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: So this is this a good sign? Again?
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you don't win a football games, what
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: is this you know in the middle of summer? Mean,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: it means squad douche. But it's just I think a
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: sign of respect right for our players. It's a sign
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the roster is improven. Maybe a small sign, but I
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: do think it's a sign. Paw Fitty brought up an
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: excellent point in the beginning of the show. It's great
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: for Teammac to be eighty seven. It's also I do
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: believe disrespectful to Derek Brown to be behind Tea Mac.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Not throwing shade at Tea Mac. But we're not in
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: the world right now where Tea Mac is higher on
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: play or with than Derek Brown is. So can we
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: just say Derek Brown should be higher than where he
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: is right I.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Think it's probably. I mean, I'm kind of surprised he
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: made it I didn't think he was gonna make it
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: for just one year.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Spot for a.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Rookie on offense that's still trying to find itself. Derek
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Brown is is mac how many spots underrated?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Is he actually?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Like he's ninety, Like if you would have put him
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: at number thirty in this league, it probably would have
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: been a good spot for Like, he's so far down
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: where he should.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, can't you argue he should be in at
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: least in the middle of the damn list around fifty years,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: So you're gonna see a lot of his peers making
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: where you go, how did that guy get on there
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: in that ranking and not Derek Brown? You're talking about
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: the best run stuff for interior wise in the NFL.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I feel like it used to Beeed Dexter Lawrence. I'm
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: not sure it is anymore. I think it's Brown now again.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: The reason is, but he don't do it. He doesn't
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: get put up enough sacks. It's all about you know,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: even players I'm sure fall prone to that and notice
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: the sacks. But this dude Bone, I think his upretch
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: up has upped his pass rushing game. The bat all's
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: thing too. Leading the league, leading into your d lineman
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and batted balls. That makes a difference as well. So
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm biased. I'm a Panther homer, I'm biased,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: but it does feel like he is still significantly underrated.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: But hell, I'm maybe we should just be glad he's
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: on the list. Bone.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: They have never put him on his peers have never
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: one time before this year ranked him on the top
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: one hundred, which.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Isably one time. Now they're trying to make up for
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: it slightly, but it's still not It's not good. It's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: not good enough.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Even after the season Bone, where he had over one
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: hundred tackles, the most tackles a defensive lineman it ever made,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: and they did not see fit to put him on
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: the top one hundred.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: So at least he's on there.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Man, I want to talk a little bit about t
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: mac What is this is amazing for him to have
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: this respect of the players after just one year, the
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: year he had Bone, when for much of the season
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: there wasn't a whole lot of threat elsewhere, not really
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: until late in the season when Cocher was healthy and
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Bryce and Coker really started vibing. There was a lot
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: of times where t mac was numberumber one on the
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: passing Game scouting report, and they had to find ways
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: creatively to move him around to different spots, to get
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: him free releases, to get him away from double teams.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: And he still puts up the most rookie receiving yards
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: in Panther history. Makes this top one hundred. What is
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: the ceiling for t mac?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Boone?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: The ceiling in terms of stats this year, accolade in
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: his career, I mean, are we talking like how good?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Are we talking one of the best five receivers in
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the NFL ten receivers, twenty receivers, I.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Think top ten wide out for sure. We'll see about
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: top five. I think he will go down as the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: second best and second most productive wide out in Panders history.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I know that Moose was really good
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and there's not necessarily a lot of guys that we're
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: here for a long time, But I don't think he's
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: ever going to catch the accolades and achievements of Smitty
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: because that's Hall of Fame worthy. But I do think
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a number one. He's going to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: be a number one a option. He'll be a pro bowler.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I think he'll be back anywhere for the given year,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: could be top five, top seven. I think he's gonna
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: be one of the better wide receivers in football for
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: a one period of time.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I just there's so much more for him, man Like.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: He's also an easy guy to root for it too, man,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I like it very cool dude, no doubt about it.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: And his quotes, by the way, on Panthers dot Com
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: about being on this list top one hundred, that's not
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: a big deal to me. He goes, there's ninety nine
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: other people on it, and they said, well, like, what
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: would be a big deal. He goes, oh, top ten
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: in the league or MVP of the league. He goes,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: that'd be a big deal. Like this dude is so
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: humble about what he's accomplished. He's not impressed by anything.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: He gives you the full impression that he wants so
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: much more of this. And I just look at his game, like,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: first of all, look at his look at his weight,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: like his weightbone. He's down twenty pounds last year from
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: where he wanted to play at. He's got his weight
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: back up. He's going to try to maintain it. I
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: think that makes him stronger.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: As good as he is at contested catches, I think
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: he could get better. He was thirty three percent on
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: contested catch which last year eight of twenty four. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: think that number is going to get better with the
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: ability he has to go up and get the ball,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: and I actually think that's an area where he can grow. Bone.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: He was prolific in the intermediate game, twenty six catches
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: in the intermediate game, eleven catches deep run after the
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: catch ability, his ability Bone to run routes. I mean,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I just completely missed the boat on this dude. And
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: I've said this how many times, seven hard times about
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: good players in Charlotte Sports. But I sat here and
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: wind like a baby. We didn't take Javon while we
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: took t Mac. I definitely believe this dude could be
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: a top ten wire rehiver. The crazy thing is bone.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: There was a text I saw earlier in the show
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: when we were talking about t Mac. Are we sure
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: he's our number one wide receiver moving forward? Is he
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: a true number one? Why are Panther fans still saying that? Man?
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I think? I mean, yeah, Early on I thought, okay, well, no,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I'm in. I'm in now.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I think he's got the temperament, the attitude you talked
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: about there. He's gonna keep working. And that was a
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: big thing that we wrongly questioned when he entered the league, Right,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: is he going to keep working?
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Does he care?
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Because of that clip that came out, But you know
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that shows you that however young he was, then I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: was wrong.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I thought that this guy have a commitment to the game.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: He clearly does.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not a big time I don't worry about that anymore.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Big time texter brings up him dropping timing routes, those
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: short quick routes. If he catches those, then he's the
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: perfect wide receiver.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I think his hands had to get a little bit
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: straw as weird for a wide out that's drafted that high.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: It's felt like his hands at times. Word he drops them.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Sometimes balls kind of got ripped away a little bit.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: His hands didn't seem as strong as I would have thought.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: But maybe that's something you work on. I guess, yeah,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: my hands have gone stronger over the years. I think
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: there was some hay, well, why now, all right, alright,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: let me move. You were being naughty seven four naughty Murphy.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Uh. This Texas says, where did XL fall in the list?
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: That's mean. I feel like I was mean to excel earlier.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Now I don't want to be mas self. I don't
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: want to be mean a second time self out of
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: bounds on this list. It's full with out of bounds.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I will let Bone in the Texter be mean. Let's
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: see here. This texter says, we say it because Coker's
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: hands seemed more sure and they both have highlight plays.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Brian says he will be even better the more they
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: compliment him. Cocher will be better this year. That will
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: take attention off TMAC And if Brazle can ball, look out.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I can't state enough Bone how as a rookie who
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: will be stronger this year because of the extra weight,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: And as a rookie, how teams were able to hone
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: in on him for large parts of the season because
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: there were no other trusted receivers around him, Like, I
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: just cannot for him to put up the numbers he did,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Bone And by the way, at the end of this season,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: he ended up a real good touchdown threat. Remember early
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: in the season he wasn't getting the touchdowns. We thought
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: he's a great red zone threat. He's an amazing third
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: down threat as well. I just I can't wait to
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: see it. And I'm so glad that I can sit
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: here and say I was wrong all over again. Baby,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I hope they can't. Every time I dealt anything with
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: the horn, I hope Jeff Peterson makes me look like
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: a fool for questioning Lamelow trade too.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about Brooks as the next factor
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: of Brassel's another guy down the line of Hey, that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: guy comes in and he's any type of threat over there.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: You talking about opening up the offense even there are
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Brooks in Brassle if they are adding anything here, and
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: we think that Brooks certainly will, but you talk about
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: just opening up the offense for those yeh, Brasel plays
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: takes attention deep think about team mag on those crossers
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that he takes all of a sudden, that feel being
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: open over there for him, both.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Of them big plays. That's what they're going to bring.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Brassel's going to be singled all the time. All right,
• 29:41

• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I thought you might go back to Miami. I don't
