- 1:09Speaker 4: We'll talk about that. We will start talking about the Bears.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Do you hate this team and their fan base? My God,
- 1:16Speaker 4: their fans are annoying. Are they not? Even the fans
- 1:19Speaker 4: that have national media shows are annoying. More on that
- 1:23Speaker 4: later on as we begin to get you cranked up
- 1:26Speaker 4: to try to win this game. It's been a minute.
- 1:29Speaker 4: since we have won an opener. We need to win
- 1:31Speaker 4: an opener. We need to start fast. We need to
- 1:34Speaker 4: shut up the national media doubters. There's so many things
- 1:37Speaker 4: that have been fired up on already for Sunday. So
- 1:40Speaker 4: we'll talk about that today on the show and much,
- 1:43Speaker 4: much more. We got what the bleep stories. We got
- 1:46Speaker 4: some coach speaks and very entertaining stuff from coaches, including
- 1:49Speaker 4: an alleged leaked video of Lane Kiffin's halftime pep talk.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Halftime speech.
- 1:59Speaker 4: While winning by four touchdowns, he is screaming at them
- 2:02Speaker 4: like they're down by four touchdowns. Meanwhile, what's the league
- 2:05Speaker 4: dabbo video? That's the gosh darnest thing. Maybe I need
- 2:09Speaker 4: more than 11 transfers. Maybe I need 40 like Lane has.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Gosh darn it. Trying to find our bus. Not your bus,
- 2:16Speaker 1: the rest of y'all's bus. Oh, my God.
- 2:18Speaker 4: I'm not even sure Clemson was good enough to get
- 2:20Speaker 4: on the rest of you. They got to get on
- 2:21Speaker 4: the rest of y'all of the rest of y'all bus
- 2:23Speaker 4: after that performance.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I'm not laughing at them. I'm here for them.
- 2:26Speaker 4: Anyway, Bones in the house. Fitty's here as well. I'm
- 2:29Speaker 4: sure Fitty will get worked up at the nine-minute. Back
- 2:33Speaker 4: and forth between the media and Bill Belichick. What a
- 2:36Speaker 4: standoff that was, Bone, in Chapel Hill at his presser yesterday.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Haven't seen a standoff like that since Flounder and its
- 2:44Speaker 1: three-hour Chili's date. Where no one was moving, but no
- 2:48Speaker 1: one was leaving. Oh, my goodness. What's up with you,
- 2:51Speaker 1: Hacksaw Slim Duggan? Is that me? Yeah. Oh, okay. That's
- 2:55Speaker 1: all we do, man. No more bros? Have you moved
- 2:58Speaker 1: on from the bros? I told you I got a
- 2:59Speaker 1: lot of bros, but I got a few slims in there.
- 3:01Speaker 1: All right. All right, nice. A little slim dugging. I'm
- 3:03Speaker 1: feeling it. Remember, you see y'all ho out and stuff.
- 3:07Speaker 1: He used to yell ho out. That sounds dirty.
- 3:13Speaker 4: It really was just a stupid, goofy old man just
- 3:16Speaker 4: yelling is what it was. Did he have the 2x4?
- 3:19Speaker 4: Is he the guy that had the 2x4? I remember
- 3:21Speaker 4: he came in the studio that one time. Nice guy.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Now the old man that yells that out is Jed York.
- 3:28Speaker 1: oh my god bone.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Bone got the good thing is bone got that one
- 3:32Speaker 4: in before the kids got up for school oh yeah
- 3:34Speaker 4: all right that's the good thing is that.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Michael irvin was mad at me for making fun of
- 3:38Speaker 1: jed york though more on that later yeah he's making
- 3:40Speaker 1: it on what to bleep today michael irvin i know
- 3:43Speaker 1: you're shocked by that that he would say something that
- 3:45Speaker 1: would get him on what to bleep but uh let's
- 3:48Speaker 1: talk about last night bone um as if these college
- 3:51Speaker 1: football games don't end late enough especially for those of
- 3:54Speaker 1: us that wake up early in the morning.
- 3:57Speaker 4: They had to lose the power in Tallahassee at the
- 4:01Speaker 4: stadium and have the game delayed, Bone, for, I don't know,
- 4:05Speaker 4: close to two hours last night. I guess an hour
- 4:08Speaker 4: and 40 minutes from 735 to 915. What a bleep
- 4:13Speaker 4: show that was last night, Bone, as they frantically tried
- 4:17Speaker 4: to get the power going in the stadium for over
- 4:21Speaker 4: an hour.
- 4:21Speaker 1: And a half. You're probably wondering what could the Mac
- 4:25Speaker 1: curves potentially have done, Mac and Bone curves, potentially have
- 4:29Speaker 1: done to cause this. My high school best friend and
- 4:33Speaker 1: former roommate started his new job a week and a
- 4:38Speaker 1: half ago, Mac, as the athletic director of facilities at
- 4:42Speaker 1: Florida State University. That's a rough, that's a stressful day
- 4:46Speaker 1: on the job. He was maybe a little too busy working.
- 4:49Speaker 1: to text me back last night. I did suggest to him,
- 4:52Speaker 1: have we thought about turning off the stadium and turning
- 4:55Speaker 1: it back on again? One of those things. A little reset? Yeah,
- 4:57Speaker 1: a little reset. He's probably not happy that I sent that,
- 5:00Speaker 1: but I am concerned that the.
- 5:03Speaker 1: The whole connective thing here, the Kevin Bacon of all this,
- 5:06Speaker 1: is that you and I caused that delay.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Don't blame me for that because Florida State didn't pay
- 5:09Speaker 4: their power bill. Don't get me involved in.
- 5:11Speaker 1: That crap, man.
- 5:12Speaker 4: Seriously, only the ACC. Would that happen at any other
- 5:17Speaker 4: conference when you have the national stage on Labor Day night?
- 5:19Speaker 4: Other than hashtag GoACC?
- 5:21Speaker 1: The fans are hoping when the lights came back on,
- 5:23Speaker 1: Norvell wouldn't be their head coach anymore. Oh, don't worry.
- 5:25Speaker 1: The lights about Ray turned out on Norvell. They thought
- 5:29Speaker 1: to themselves, how can we save money on this buyout?
- 5:31Speaker 1: What if we just turn off some lights here during
- 5:32Speaker 1: the games?
- 5:33Speaker 4: SMU, they're like, if we turn the lights off, maybe
- 5:35Speaker 4: they won't see how badly we're playing. And listen, they
- 5:39Speaker 4: were in the game to their credit. They got aided
- 5:42Speaker 4: by four turnovers by SMU last night. They were not
- 5:46Speaker 4: very crisp and sharp in terms of taking care of
- 5:49Speaker 4: the football. And that's the rub with Kevin Jennings. That's
- 5:52Speaker 4: the reason I don't totally fall in love with this guy.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Now on the flip side of that bone, he went
- 5:57Speaker 4: the hell off. Otherwise, and made so many big plays.
- 6:02Speaker 1: In that game.
- 6:03Speaker 4: SMU had over 600 yards of offense. If they protect
- 6:05Speaker 4: the football, the game's not even close. As a result,
- 6:09Speaker 4: they win bone, but they need a late touchdown to
- 6:12Speaker 4: do so last night in Tallahassee. So I guess coaches
- 6:17Speaker 4: in a way like these things, it's early season. They
- 6:20Speaker 4: have a lot of things they can scream at you about.
- 6:24Speaker 4: for the next week, but you have a win. No
- 6:26Speaker 4: harm done.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you saw a lot of good with
- 6:31Speaker 1: the SMU offense and Jennings and his numbers were through
- 6:34Speaker 1: the roof. Did have a couple turnovers there, but I
- 6:36Speaker 1: walked away back feeling the opposite of what I did
- 6:39Speaker 1: the night before. has a loss, but I came away thinking, wow,
- 6:44Speaker 1: that's a good, that's a playoff caliber football team. SMU
- 6:48Speaker 1: gets the win, lesser competition, but SMU gets the win,
- 6:52Speaker 1: and I walked away thinking, boy, I'm a little concerned
- 6:54Speaker 1: about SMU, but yet they won, Louisville lost, and I
- 6:57Speaker 1: feel better about Louisville than I do SMU right now. Yeah,
- 7:01Speaker 1: they play. Jennings was unbelievable.
- 7:02Speaker 4: They play in little under two weeks. That is going
- 7:05Speaker 4: to be a hell of a game and one of
- 7:07Speaker 4: the biggest games in the ACC this season. Yeah, Jennings
- 7:10Speaker 4: did so much good. And only two of the four
- 7:12Speaker 4: turnovers were his. He had four to 30 yards passing,
- 7:15Speaker 4: three touchdowns. ECU fans, I'm sure, did not enjoy Bone
- 7:20Speaker 4: watching one of their many touchdowns. transfers from the offseason
- 7:24Speaker 4: go off. Yannick Smith, five catches, 107 yards, including that
- 7:28Speaker 4: long touchdown pass. 27-24 ended up being the final. It
- 7:31Speaker 4: was a late field goal. I don't know why I
- 7:33Speaker 4: said late touchdown. Late field goal to win the game
- 7:37Speaker 4: for SMU. Florida State, I mean, they ran the ball well,
- 7:43Speaker 4: 45 times, 109 yards. Clearly, They kind of wanted to
- 7:48Speaker 4: pound it, probably limit the amount of throws their quarterback,
- 7:52Speaker 4: Ashton Daniels, makes. I'm not sure they necessarily think they
- 7:56Speaker 4: have a Jordan Travis, Jameis Winston, or Charlie Ward behind center.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Florida State was in that game, but they missed an opportunity, man,
- 8:07Speaker 4: to have SMU be that sloppy. and to be at
- 8:10Speaker 4: home and not be able to take advantage of it.
- 8:13Speaker 4: They've got to be kicking themselves a little bit, man.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Clearly their plan was trying to control it on the ground.
- 8:18Speaker 4: It was run after run after run. They have a
- 8:21Speaker 4: freakishly big wideout, Deuce Robinson, 6'6, 230 pounds. He had
- 8:27Speaker 4: two catches, Matt, and I want to say top of
- 8:30Speaker 4: my head they may have thrown the ball to him
- 8:32Speaker 4: three times the entire night. They hardly threw the ball.
- 8:34Speaker 1: I don't know if it was– great coverage by smu
- 8:38Speaker 1: i'm not i wasn't watching that close but i do
- 8:40Speaker 1: know that if they're going to beat the the high
- 8:44Speaker 1: caliber teams he's got to be a part of it
- 8:46Speaker 1: to only throw the ball to him a couple times
- 8:49Speaker 1: that's not that's not going to get it done for.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Them full this is where i do a bone betting
- 8:52Speaker 4: disclaimer bone bet on the over for deuce robinson's uh
- 8:57Speaker 4: receiving yards last night yeah.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:02Speaker 4: Sometimes I got to let everybody know that you have
- 9:04Speaker 4: a vested interest in them doing what you're saying they
- 9:06Speaker 4: should do.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Phinney came in and said, Bone, did you say it
- 9:08Speaker 1: for the whole game? I said, you're darn tootin'. I did.
- 9:10Speaker 1: It was because I was trying to get Deuce Robinson
- 9:13Speaker 1: over 50 yards. I was willing him, encouraging him, and
- 9:16Speaker 1: just the amount of... Draw plays I saw had to
- 9:20Speaker 1: set a record last night in a row.
- 9:22Speaker 4: You could have used them getting behind by more to
- 9:25Speaker 4: where they had to throw. That's probably what you could
- 9:28Speaker 4: have used last night. I had a really good weekend, Mac,
- 9:31Speaker 4: on Friday and Sunday betting. I did not have a
- 9:34Speaker 4: good Saturday. And the only two picks I even said
- 9:37Speaker 4: on the air was I like Cal. to cover against
- 9:40Speaker 4: UCLA Cal lost by 21 and I said you know
- 9:43Speaker 4: what I got a real good feeling about Miami of
- 9:46Speaker 4: Ohio covering against Pittsburgh so then big country took what
- 9:50Speaker 4: I said and he bet $ 200 on Miami of Ohio
- 9:54Speaker 4: to cover against Pittsburgh they got absolutely smoke rolled so
- 9:58Speaker 4: my two big misses happen to be on the air picks.
- 10:02Speaker 4: I have no picante, sir. Is big country coming after
- 10:05Speaker 4: you now? Big country with his money from you?
- 10:07Speaker 1: Why would you put anything that you and I say
- 10:11Speaker 1: That's on you, man. If you're going to put $ 200
- 10:14Speaker 1: on what frickin' fracks say, that's on you, man. That's
- 10:17Speaker 1: your own problem. Why would you put $ 200 on what
- 10:20Speaker 1: you and I say?
- 10:21Speaker 4: I can guarantee you no one's betting. They may take
- 10:23Speaker 4: $ 200 bets against my picks.
- 10:26Speaker 1: They may do that.
- 10:27Speaker 4: I guarantee you no one's betting on my picks for
- 10:29Speaker 4: any severe money. And if they are, they should be
- 10:31Speaker 4: checked into a loony bin. There is no doubt about it.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Blame me for it.
- 10:35Speaker 1: That's on you, bubs.
- 10:36Speaker 4: So SMU's got a lot of talent, Bo. Kendrick Raphael,
- 10:40Speaker 4: the transfer from Cal, looked good. The kid Green ran
- 10:43Speaker 4: the ball well. They had a big, deep touchdown pass
- 10:45Speaker 4: to Cooper. Again, they've got to clean the turnovers up,
- 10:48Speaker 4: and that is my concern with Jennings. You know, is
- 10:52Speaker 4: what do you have, 13 picks last year? I worry
- 10:54Speaker 4: a little bit about in big spots, him turning the
- 10:56Speaker 4: ball over. But man, they got so much potential and talent.
- 11:00Speaker 4: And I don't know if it was Florida State or them,
- 11:02Speaker 4: but their past defense, which was atrocious last year at SMU,
- 11:05Speaker 4: looked a hell of a lot better.
- 11:06Speaker 1: They also got this last night. Yamir Nightkid, they got
- 11:10Speaker 1: a lot of dudes, man. How about the tight end
- 11:12Speaker 1: from FSU?
- 11:13Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 11:13Speaker 4: This is his own team. Randy Pittman Jr., five for
- 11:16Speaker 4: 75 and a touchdown.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I already watched him rumble. Last night I thought to myself, hey, Panthers,
- 11:21Speaker 1: where is this guy's draft stock going to be at
- 11:23Speaker 1: as a tight end? I'm not looking at the Panthers
- 11:26Speaker 1: draft stuff. This man's already looking at the draft, Panther Finney.
- 11:29Speaker 1: You believe this guy? I'm just saying he's going to
- 11:31Speaker 1: be a good pro. He rumbled. He rumbled.
- 11:34Speaker 4: Panther fans have been watching college football tight ends for
- 11:38Speaker 4: years and saying that guy would make a good Panther,
- 11:41Speaker 4: and then nothing ever really happens.
- 11:43Speaker 5: No, no, no.
- 11:43Speaker 4: But every year, I would say probably for about six
- 11:46Speaker 4: years now, we've been looking at college football.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Titles like, hey, that guy would be a good pick.
- 11:50Speaker 1: The one that I liked that they ended up getting
- 11:53Speaker 1: was J.T. Sanders. I like him a lot. There you go.
- 11:56Speaker 1: There you go.
- 11:57Speaker 4: I remember our Brock Bowers infatuation. Infatuation, I think is
- 12:04Speaker 4: the word.
- 12:04Speaker 1: A baller with 50s hairline. It was incredible to watch.
- 12:07Speaker 4: I do want to shout out our friend of the show,
- 12:10Speaker 4: Taylor Tannenbaum, last night.
- 12:13Speaker 1: She got stuck with a crappy assignment.
- 12:15Speaker 4: After she was done doing the pregame show and the
- 12:19Speaker 4: huddle crew did pregame, they then had to cover for,
- 12:24Speaker 4: I don't know, an hour and 40 minutes or so
- 12:26Speaker 4: until the game kicked off over this goofy power outage.
- 12:30Speaker 4: She did an awesome job. And Taylor McGregor also... The
- 12:35Speaker 4: two Taylors were getting it done. Taylor McGregor was really
- 12:38Speaker 4: a star, keeping everybody up to date on what was
- 12:42Speaker 4: going on behind the scenes.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Oh, incredible work in an unexpected way, because that game
- 12:47Speaker 1: was just about to start. They were ready to, Dave Passion,
- 12:51Speaker 1: Dusty Dvorak, to take it away. And they did have
- 12:53Speaker 1: a great start. Weapon, though, to Taylor Tannenbaum is, we know,
- 12:58Speaker 1: love her absolute best. They had a great weapon, though,
- 13:01Speaker 1: and that is just wind up Jimbo Fisher and let
- 13:04Speaker 1: him talk for an hour straight.
- 13:05Speaker 4: Jimbo Fisher was so worried about them playing that game
- 13:08Speaker 4: without the communication. He had me convinced that they should
- 13:11Speaker 4: play the game tonight instead of last. He had me like,
- 13:14Speaker 4: he's got a good point. They weren't prepared to do
- 13:16Speaker 4: the hand signals and the old-school way of sending in
- 13:19Speaker 4: plays because the game started– what was it, probably about
- 13:23Speaker 4: the first quarter and a half where they had no
- 13:27Speaker 4: coach-to-helmet communication with the middle linebacker or the quarterback. They
- 13:31Speaker 4: had no iPad. I don't know if they ever got
- 13:33Speaker 4: the iPads back. They had no scoreboard, game clock. That
- 13:38Speaker 4: was kept by the officials. That could never be a problem,
- 13:41Speaker 4: by the way. The officials keeping the time.
- 13:44Speaker 1: I heard back... Kyle Whittingham called and said, I've got
- 13:48Speaker 1: a great idea to help you guys out. Keep it
- 13:50Speaker 1: on the field.
- 13:53Speaker 4: What could go wrong? Now, what time was he keeping?
- 13:55Speaker 4: Was he eating the time on the field or the
- 13:57Speaker 4: time that's supposed to be on the TV? What time
- 13:59Speaker 4: was the ref keeping? Because apparently they're different times.
- 14:01Speaker 1: They were on Michigan time.
- 14:02Speaker 4: Unbelievable. Michigan time. There was a Hail Mary. There was
- 14:06Speaker 4: a heave that landed. And I was like, let me
- 14:09Speaker 4: see this clock.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Two seconds.
- 14:10Speaker 5: Okay.
- 14:11Speaker 4: No controversy. And, of course, Florida State had another. Florida State,
- 14:14Speaker 4: you get the feeling, could have had about five. heaves
- 14:17Speaker 4: and probably weren't going to win last night. As far
- 14:20Speaker 4: as the Panthers go, we're getting ready to talk more
- 14:21Speaker 4: Panthers coming up at 625. Just the two headlines from
- 14:27Speaker 4: yesterday that we could be nervous about is Jonathan Brooks
- 14:31Speaker 4: still working on the side with trainers. They had the
- 14:34Speaker 4: three-day weekend off. He comes back. He's still on the side.
- 14:37Speaker 4: There is video from the media that was assembled there, Bone,
- 14:40Speaker 4: of him running. So he was running, but he's still
- 14:44Speaker 4: on the side. And then you have a new worry.
- 14:47Speaker 4: Pat Jones was apparently not at practice during the time
- 14:51Speaker 4: in which the media was in attendance. So you already
- 14:55Speaker 4: know if Skorton, it would not be ideal to not
- 14:58Speaker 4: have Pat Jones. And Dave Canales keeps hitting everybody with the.
- 15:04Speaker 4: Injury report comes out Wednesday. We'll talk to you then.
- 15:06Speaker 4: So we got to wait, Bone, one more day to
- 15:09Speaker 4: get a little bit of detail about these.
- 15:11Speaker 1: It's great to have football back, but also the injury
- 15:14Speaker 1: reports on Wednesday come back to stress us out. So
- 15:16Speaker 1: that also comes back with football coming back. So it's
- 15:19Speaker 1: amazing to me also, Mac, that the NFL starts tomorrow.
- 15:24Speaker 1: I keep forgetting that that game counts, and it starts tomorrow.
- 15:26Speaker 1: NFL down under. Rams Niners tomorrow. I thought Rams Niners
- 15:31Speaker 1: was Thursday. That's Patriots Seahawks. I thought Patriots Seahawks was tomorrow.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Oh, Patriots.
- 15:36Speaker 4: Did I get it backwards? I got it backwards, I guess.
- 15:39Speaker 4: I think you got it backwards. We're looking for Fitty
- 15:42Speaker 4: over there to give us some help.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Yes, tomorrow night is Seattle, New England.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Yeah, because remember the commercial? Hump Day! Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike!
- 15:50Speaker 1: What day are we starting? Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike!
- 15:52Speaker 1: Hump Day! And Mike Tirico and Chris Collinsworth are annoyed
- 15:55Speaker 1: as hell.
- 15:56Speaker 7: Yeah, Thursday is the Rams-Diners game, which is actually Friday
- 16:00Speaker 7: in Melbourne. And Kyle Shanahan, newsflash, just learned how time
- 16:06Speaker 7: zones work while he made the trip to Australia.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is amazing. That's on me.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Talking about the confusions of figuring out what is going
- 16:15Speaker 4: on in Australia time zone-wise.
- 16:16Speaker 1: City on Wednesdays, can you go, Mac, Mac, Mac, Mac,
- 16:19Speaker 1: guess what day it is? Mac, Mac, Mac, guess what.
- 16:21Speaker 4: Day it is?
- 16:21Speaker 1: That's on me, boys. And I got to tell you,
- 16:25Speaker 1: that's a rare mistake by me. I know. It's very
- 16:28Speaker 1: rare that you did that. The point is, NFL starts tomorrow.
- 16:30Speaker 1: They feel odd. Start on a Wednesday, but it does
- 16:33Speaker 1: start tomorrow.
- 16:33Speaker 4: Today is the only day, Bone, in a 12-day stretch
- 16:36Speaker 4: without football. If you go back to the start of
- 16:39Speaker 4: college football week one. Through this coming weekend, because the
- 16:44Speaker 4: NFL is going to play Wednesday, Thursday, college football, Friday, Saturday,
- 16:48Speaker 4: NFL Sunday, Monday. If you take a look at that,
- 16:51Speaker 4: it's a 12-day stretch. And today is the single day
- 16:55Speaker 4: without football. So we got to be strong. We got
- 16:58Speaker 4: to make it through the day. But today is literally
- 17:01Speaker 4: the only day in 12 days with no football.
- 17:03Speaker 1: That is... That is amazing. Although NFL starting on a
- 17:07Speaker 1: Wednesday does kind of feel like when MLB starts over
- 17:11Speaker 1: in Japan. It doesn't feel like it's connected to the
- 17:14Speaker 1: rest of the league, but it does count, and we
- 17:15Speaker 1: will enjoy Wednesday, Thursday football. Seahawks-Patriots, as I've mentioned multiple times,
- 17:21Speaker 1: gets it going tomorrow. You ain't going to care what
- 17:23Speaker 1: day it is when you have 14 bets tomorrow night.
- 17:26Speaker 1: I think I'm done for now. I think I'm done
- 17:28Speaker 1: for now.
- 17:29Speaker 4: Aaron Donald, by the way, not revealing whether or not
- 17:32Speaker 4: he's going to play on Thursday night. He apparently said,
- 17:35Speaker 4: I don't know, but apparently had a big old grin
- 17:38Speaker 4: on his face.
- 17:39Speaker 1: So does that mean he plays? I don't think he
- 17:40Speaker 1: flew over there just to hang out. He hasn't flown.
- 17:43Speaker 1: They haven't flown yet. Well, they do fly. Yeah, that's right.
- 17:44Speaker 1: The Niners.
- 17:45Speaker 4: Are they flying today? Finney and I have been talking
- 17:47Speaker 4: about this. The Niners and the Rams took complete different.
- 17:51Speaker 4: approaches to the travel um the Niners left like a
- 17:54Speaker 4: week before the game the Rams are leaving like maybe
- 17:57Speaker 4: today I think it's gotta be yeah like but it's
- 18:00Speaker 4: it's crazy how different their approaches.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Well Schefter had to tweet last night that Raheem Morris
- 18:05Speaker 1: misses his birthday this year he can't celebrate his 50th
- 18:07Speaker 1: birthday he loses a day and that day he loses
- 18:10Speaker 1: his 50th birthday.
- 18:11Speaker 4: When they were flying yeah that is um that is
- 18:15Speaker 4: a trek isn't it Holy crap, that is a trek.
- 18:18Speaker 1: That's why I just stick to the Outbacks that I'm
- 18:20Speaker 1: used to, not the actual Outback.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Bones' Australian adventure is a blooming onion.
- 18:28Speaker 1: When we come back, Dave Canales talks Bears in his
- 18:31Speaker 1: first week, his week one presser. JT Sanders addresses trade rumors,
- 18:36Speaker 1: and we get a Bears week one health update on
- 18:40Speaker 1: their side. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
- 19:00Speaker 8: We have to just keep taking it one day at
- 19:02Speaker 8: a time. He ran out there today, and then we'll
- 19:05Speaker 8: evaluate what that looked like. We'll see that in comparison
- 19:08Speaker 8: to what he looked like before, and we'll go from there.
- 19:14Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Not much of an answer from
- 19:19Speaker 4: Dave Canales. The question was, Jonathan Brooks is still out.
- 19:24Speaker 4: They had three days off. We come back, it's game week,
- 19:27Speaker 4: and Jonathan Brooks is still on the side working with trainers.
- 19:30Speaker 4: You told us last week you are optimistic of playing
- 19:33Speaker 4: week one. Do you still feel that way?
- 19:35Speaker 1: And there was.
- 19:36Speaker 4: A kind of noncommittal answer and another mention of Wednesday. Wednesday,
- 19:43Speaker 4: they will have to tell us something on Wednesday.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Not in full panic mode yet, but it's not 100 percent.
- 19:50Speaker 1: feeling good. Also, don't exactly know yet still what's sore, right?
- 19:53Speaker 1: General soreness is what he said last week.
- 19:55Speaker 4: You said general soreness, right? General soreness. I thought you
- 19:57Speaker 4: said something else there for a second. I was really concerned. No,
- 20:00Speaker 4: I said general. I thought you might have said something else.
- 20:04Speaker 4: What war did he win?
- 20:05Speaker 2: General soreness.
- 20:06Speaker 4: General soreness is like the oldest... Is he like the
- 20:09Speaker 4: oldest general in U.S. military history? Is his body sore
- 20:14Speaker 4: all over the place? He's 85 years old? I just
- 20:16Speaker 4: don't exactly know what's sore. The fiance of Jonathan Brooks
- 20:20Speaker 4: tried to calm the waters last week.
- 20:22Speaker 1: She said it's not the knee. So that, I mean,
- 20:24Speaker 1: if it's not the knee, then that's got to make
- 20:26Speaker 1: us feel really good. And whatever it is there, hopefully
- 20:28Speaker 1: it's just... You know, just trying to get him prepared
- 20:31Speaker 1: for the game itself and not worried about hurting him
- 20:33Speaker 1: more in practice. I don't know. Certainly not. Like you
- 20:36Speaker 1: said last week, though, we are going to panic over
- 20:39Speaker 1: him all the time. It's just the way it's going
- 20:40Speaker 1: to be with him. It's also stretching here for a
- 20:42Speaker 1: little while. Like it started, okay, day off, two days off. Well,
- 20:46Speaker 1: now we went the full weekend. So we'll see. Wednesday is,
- 20:49Speaker 1: you know, they put in the game plan. And, you know,
- 20:53Speaker 1: Wednesday is kind of the start of the week, right?
- 20:55Speaker 1: This was a bonus. This was what Dave Canales called
- 20:57Speaker 1: a bonus Monday. An extra practice day, Bone, that normally
- 21:02Speaker 1: would not be a whole lot.
- 21:04Speaker 2: All right, what a great day.
- 21:05Speaker 4: Once they get into the flow of the season. So
- 21:08Speaker 4: we'll see what happens. We'll see if he's out there.
- 21:09Speaker 4: We'll get the injury report. But, yeah, it's not what
- 21:13Speaker 4: we wanted to see for his big comeback.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Canales, you better deliver some news. You promise a lot
- 21:17Speaker 1: coming up on Wednesday. You better deliver some sort of news.
- 21:20Speaker 1: don't tell us well what you know on thursday now
- 21:23Speaker 1: you better.
- 21:24Speaker 9: Tell us something i would indicate something on wednesday wednesday
- 21:28Speaker 9: you'll get i can't go much longer here you'll get
- 21:30Speaker 9: the injury report on wednesday and it'll at that point
- 21:33Speaker 9: in the week just be did he practice was he
- 21:35Speaker 9: limited did he not practice you know that's where that
- 21:38Speaker 9: sort of thing and i don't know what canalis will
- 21:40Speaker 9: say specifically we also now have this pat jones situation
- 21:43Speaker 9: we want to hear about tomorrow Does he practice tomorrow?
- 21:47Speaker 4: And what is the specific injury with Pat Jones?
- 21:49Speaker 1: Is there an injury? Like, we don't even know.
- 21:52Speaker 4: We just know that the media that was there yesterday
- 21:54Speaker 4: said Pat Jones was not there during their portion. And
- 21:57Speaker 4: Dave Canales pointed everybody to Wednesday as the day where,
- 22:01Speaker 4: and the only reason he points you to Wednesday is
- 22:03Speaker 4: because they have to put out an injury report. If
- 22:05Speaker 4: they didn't have to put out an injury report, like
- 22:07Speaker 4: these coaches would like to never answer an injury question ever.
- 22:12Speaker 1: What if he goes full.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Belichick and puts every man on the roster on the
- 22:15Speaker 2: injury report? Everyone is dealing with something.
- 22:17Speaker 1: You never want to go full Belichick. That's a nine-minute standoff. Oh, God.
- 22:20Speaker 4: We've got almost two minutes of the full Belichick, of
- 22:24Speaker 4: the media trying to get answers about the university investigation
- 22:28Speaker 4: into the football program and him just kick-saving them aside.
- 22:31Speaker 4: It's like a Christian Kalina masterclass, facing 12 shots and
- 22:36Speaker 4: saving them all.
- 22:37Speaker 1: By the way, General Soreness, Maggie, texture points out, General Soreness...
- 22:40Speaker 1: was in the same war as my great uncle, Abuja Abuja.
- 22:43Speaker 1: There you go, yeah. What war was that, Moe? The war.
- 22:47Speaker 1: The war. Don't worry about it. Just the war, all right?
- 22:49Speaker 1: We don't talk about what war. It's personal. Just the war,
- 22:52Speaker 1: all right? Oh, man.
- 22:54Speaker 4: Panthers, uniform combination for those who are into this sort
- 22:59Speaker 4: of thing.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Uniform, man. Blue jersey, black helmet. Let's do it. Yeah,
- 23:06Speaker 1: it's good. I'm about that, man. It's a good one.
- 23:08Speaker 10: I like it.
- 23:09Speaker 1: I like it.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Anything with a black helmet looks better. I'm going to
- 23:11Speaker 4: be honest with you. Looks like victory to me.
- 23:15Speaker 7: Did you get the Willie text about that needs to
- 23:17Speaker 7: be their permanent show?
- 23:18Speaker 2: I got Willie P. uniform thoughts yesterday afternoon.
- 23:21Speaker 1: What a shame that I wasn't on that text list.
- 23:24Speaker 1: I got Willie's whole history with our guest yesterday, Tim Murray.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I didn't get the uniform text.
- 23:29Speaker 4: I like it, though, man. The black helmet should be
- 23:32Speaker 4: every week as far as I'm concerned. Why have they
- 23:34Speaker 4: not made that change? Because I think the silver is
- 23:38Speaker 4: just fine. Bro, we've been doing silver for three damn decades.
- 23:41Speaker 4: Give us a new helmet.
- 23:43Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't mean something here.
- 23:45Speaker 1: It's been a long time.
- 23:47Speaker 2: It's been a while since they updated.
- 23:49Speaker 4: It has been like make the silver one that they
- 23:52Speaker 4: wear like one time a year.
- 23:53Speaker 7: I guess I'm just such a traditionalist where I like
- 23:56Speaker 7: you're just traditionalist for the, about the Panthers, except you
- 23:59Speaker 7: left the Panthers for about a decade in the middle there.
- 24:01Speaker 2: You want to start that on game one?
- 24:03Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 24:04Speaker 2: You want to start that on game one?
- 24:06Speaker 1: I'm sorry. My bad.
- 24:07Speaker 2: My bad.
- 24:08Speaker 1: City, you're my guy, but what color, how much do
- 24:11Speaker 1: you want the Panthers to wear?
- 24:12Speaker 2: The silver.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Can't totally quit them boys, can you? Do you want
- 24:16Speaker 1: a star on there also? Do you want an owner
- 24:19Speaker 1: that talks like owner of the Dallas Cowboys?
- 24:22Speaker 2: I also have a hot take about the logo at midfield.
- 24:25Speaker 7: I think it would look better, Mac, if we were
- 24:27Speaker 7: one of the franchises that put the helmet at midfield.
- 24:31Speaker 2: I loved the shield back in the day.
- 24:33Speaker 1: As long as it's the black helmet.
- 24:34Speaker 2: But I think if we went like the Jets or
- 24:37Speaker 2: the Giants have the helmet... The Colts have the helmet.
- 24:40Speaker 2: If we want to put the logo, put the helmet
- 24:42Speaker 2: at midfield. The logo at midfield looks weird.
- 24:44Speaker 1: I want J.J. Jansen's face right there at midfield. Now
- 24:48Speaker 1: we're talking.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Do the Jets and Giants not do the NFL logo
- 24:52Speaker 4: thing anymore?
- 24:52Speaker 7: No, they quit doing that a few years ago, Mac.
- 24:55Speaker 2: You really don't pay attention. They played at the Jets
- 24:59Speaker 2: last year.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Here we go. Anyway, chill over there, sir.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Chill over there. I give a damn about the Panthers.
- 25:08Speaker 4: It had slipped my mind what the Jets and Giants
- 25:11Speaker 4: logo is.
- 25:12Speaker 1: I root for those teams, and I don't want to
- 25:14Speaker 1: see the logo. I don't want to see the team. Oh, God.
- 25:18Speaker 4: Anyway, let's move along to actual stuff here, shall we?
- 25:22Speaker 4: Rather than rather than bickering. Jets will go to hell.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Here we go. Anyway, that's where everyone's got the same
- 25:30Speaker 4: record right now. Let's let's rock and roll. By the way,
- 25:33Speaker 4: the Panthers have not won in five years.
- 25:36Speaker 1: The season opener.
- 25:38Speaker 4: This is one of the many reasons, Bone, that I
- 25:41Speaker 4: want this game so badly. And by the way, they
- 25:44Speaker 4: have not. I hate to say it. We're kind of
- 25:47Speaker 4: the NFL version of Clemson in openers. In Bryce Young's career,
- 25:51Speaker 4: he has not scored more than 10 points in an opener.
- 25:53Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, he has scored 10 points
- 25:56Speaker 4: in every opener. So anyway, two interceptions by Bryce in
- 26:01Speaker 4: every opener. We need to change that, man.
- 26:05Speaker 1: If I told you in 2020, Mac, that we're complaining
- 26:08Speaker 1: about the Panthers being Clemson, what would 2020 Mac say
- 26:11Speaker 1: about that? We don't want to be Clemson right now.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Things have really changed, haven't they? Yes, time has changed.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Times have changed, no doubt about it. As far as
- 26:19Speaker 1: the Bears' injury situation goes, Roma Dunzier, one of their
- 26:24Speaker 1: wide receivers, Bone, got hurt, lower body injury last Thursday.
- 26:29Speaker 1: He did not practice yesterday, but it's very early in
- 26:31Speaker 1: the week. And then you have DeAndre Swift and Kyle Menungai,
- 26:36Speaker 1: they're two running backs. They were both on the field practicing.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Menungai had been out for like a month. Yeah, so
- 26:43Speaker 1: he's back on the field. So anyway, the Bears are
- 26:45Speaker 1: getting some good health news there. Well, they're going to
- 26:48Speaker 1: have their 85 defense out there again, right, based off
- 26:52Speaker 1: what we hear out of Chicago, Matt, despite their total
- 26:54Speaker 1: defensive rank last year being 29, 22nd against the pass,
- 26:57Speaker 1: 27th against the rush. 23rd in points allowed, 22nd in sacks.
- 27:03Speaker 1: The one thing that the Bears' defense did well last year,
- 27:06Speaker 1: they led the league in takeaways. They took the ball
- 27:09Speaker 1: away a lot. But, Mac, the way we hear people
- 27:11Speaker 1: from Chicago talk about this team, they're running out there
- 27:15Speaker 1: Richard Dent, Mike Singletary, Mongo McMichael. It is prime. They're
- 27:22Speaker 1: running out there Ron Rivera. It is the 85 Bears
- 27:25Speaker 1: out there facing the Panthers on Sunday.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:27Speaker 4: Bears fans and media are so condescending towards the Panthers
- 27:32Speaker 4: because of the Bryce trade and because of the start
- 27:34Speaker 4: of Caleb Williams' career. And we're going to talk about
- 27:37Speaker 4: it later. It's, again, it's another one of the many
- 27:40Speaker 4: reasons why I desperately need a Panthers win on Sunday.
- 27:44Speaker 4: I just need it for my mental well-being, man. Like,
- 27:48Speaker 4: those Bears fans are annoying as hell. God, I would
- 27:53Speaker 4: love to shut them up. And listen, they think they're amazing.
- 27:57Speaker 4: The national media thinks they're amazing. The national media thinks
- 28:00Speaker 4: we're garbage. Like, we have to play a football game.
- 28:04Speaker 4: All this external stuff is driving me crazy. I'm so
- 28:08Speaker 4: over all the external crap, man.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Oh, no, me too. Talking's done. It's now time for
- 28:14Speaker 1: playing some football, right? No more talking. No more lists.
- 28:19Speaker 1: No more all the things we do all summer. It's
- 28:21Speaker 1: time to go out there, win some football games, and
- 28:24Speaker 1: smack some bears right in the damn mouth. There you go, baby.
- 28:26Speaker 1: There you go.
- 28:27Speaker 4: That was almost as good as Lane Kiffin's leaked halftime speech.
- 28:30Speaker 4: And when I say we, I mean the team, not
- 28:31Speaker 4: you and I. No, we ain't doing any smacking.
- 28:33Speaker 1: I'm talking about smacking Danny Parkins right in the mouth.
- 28:36Speaker 2: There's a lot of mouth to smack.
- 28:38Speaker 1: Oh, easy there. Panther Weenie's done with talking, too. Panther
- 28:41Speaker 1: Weenie said it's time to shut up. Let's go win
- 28:43Speaker 1: some games. Let's do it, Stevie. Let's do it, Stevie.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Let's do it, baby.
- 28:47Speaker 11: All right.
- 28:48Speaker 4: Before I know it, Steve, by Sunday at 11 a.m.,
- 28:51Speaker 4: Steve will be dancing for me at Kyle Bailey outside
- 28:55Speaker 4: our glass window at the doghouse.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Yeah. And I'm excited for it this week. He is...
- 29:02Speaker 1: The only way to describe this, he's not the same
- 29:06Speaker 1: dancer that you are, Mac, your different styles. Santa or Steve, a.k.a. Weenie, a.k.a. Ween,
- 29:11Speaker 1: is more like an Urkel dancer, I think. More like
- 29:14Speaker 1: Steve Urkel, a little bit. He's got a little bit
- 29:16Speaker 1: of that Urkel game.
- 29:17Speaker 4: It's just two different versions of very bad old white
- 29:20Speaker 4: man dancing. That's pretty much all it is. uh blue
- 29:23Speaker 4: bell chris says um that the blue uh process blue
- 29:27Speaker 4: helmets would be fire that wouldn't be mad matter of
- 29:29Speaker 4: fact i wouldn't be mad if we got rid of
- 29:32Speaker 4: silver retired it and black was the standard and blue
- 29:35Speaker 4: was the alternative special yeah i could go for that
- 29:39Speaker 4: man but then again i seen the white helmets that
- 29:41Speaker 4: they come up with online look pretty sweet, too.
- 29:43Speaker 1: They could wear burlap sacks for all I care. Just
- 29:45Speaker 1: win games, please. Look at Bone, football guy. Bone is
- 29:48Speaker 1: a football man. All right, let's get to some more Canales.
- 29:52Speaker 1: That was a very aggressive growl, by the way. From yesterday.
- 29:54Speaker 1: Sounded like a bear.
- 29:55Speaker 4: Let's get to Dave Canales talking about how Darren Waller
- 30:00Speaker 4: looks at practice as we hope that he's ready to
- 30:05Speaker 4: be active on Sunday.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Big and fast.
- 30:08Speaker 8: The offensive stuff, the playbook stuff has been really smooth,
- 30:12Speaker 8: really easy for him. And we have totally different terminology
- 30:15Speaker 8: than where he was at in Miami before. But an
- 30:17Speaker 8: intelligent guy, hard worker. So he's been fantastic from a
- 30:21Speaker 8: mental standpoint. And then physically, he looks great.
- 30:24Speaker 2: He looks fast.
- 30:24Speaker 8: And again, another guy, I talked about JB. But when
- 30:28Speaker 8: you look at Darren, you watch him cover ground. And
- 30:29Speaker 8: you're like, hey, he hit 20.8 today on his GPS
- 30:33Speaker 8: on this route. And you're like, he was running that fast?
- 30:35Speaker 8: You don't realize it. but that's been cool for Bryce
- 30:39Speaker 8: to be able to see how his angles change and
- 30:42Speaker 8: how to throw it to him, and I'm excited to
- 30:45Speaker 8: see what he can bring.
- 30:47Speaker 1: So there you go. I hope he can play on Sunday, man.
- 30:49Speaker 1: I really do. I'm interested to see how productive he
- 30:54Speaker 1: can be, and to me it's not necessarily about the
- 30:57Speaker 1: total yards and catches. That would be great if he
- 31:00Speaker 1: does that. I think this dude's all about, like he
- 31:02Speaker 1: was in Miami last year, this dude's a touchdown machine.
- 31:06Speaker 1: This is a red zone threat. He may not have,
- 31:09Speaker 1: I mean, I wish he was prime Darren Waller, but
- 31:12Speaker 1: I can see this guy being up there near the
- 31:14Speaker 1: team lead in touchdown catches this year if he's good
- 31:16Speaker 1: to go. And he's a tight end that can, you know,
- 31:20Speaker 1: go downfield a bit.
- 31:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:21Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know about you bone. I've seen
- 31:24Speaker 4: a ton of passes to our tight ends for about
- 31:26Speaker 4: three yards. I mean, JT Sanders between the preseason and
- 31:31Speaker 4: last year, he's become the specialist of get us four yards.
- 31:33Speaker 4: And I just think I want to see that on
- 31:36Speaker 4: display and hopefully, I mean, they don't have to play
- 31:38Speaker 4: him a ton of snaps on Sunday, right?
- 31:40Speaker 1: Like base downs. That's trend. That can be tremble.
- 31:42Speaker 4: And that can be Mitchell Evans, but on third and six,
- 31:47Speaker 4: Or to your point, in the red zone, I'd like
- 31:50Speaker 4: to be able to have Darren Waller out there. So
- 31:52Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see if we do get him.
- 31:56Speaker 4: Devin Lloyd spoke yesterday, Bone. He spoke of his appreciation
- 31:59Speaker 4: that he had for being named a captain despite not
- 32:02Speaker 4: having played an actual game for the Panthers, which just
- 32:06Speaker 4: speaks to the respect that he has earned in that
- 32:09Speaker 4: locker room immediately. But he also was asked about the Bears'
- 32:14Speaker 4: offense he'll face on Sunday.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Obviously, it starts with the quarterback, his ability to make plays,
- 32:18Speaker 3: especially out of the pocket. They want to run the ball.
- 32:21Speaker 3: And so a lot of shifts and motions, especially a
- 32:24Speaker 3: great offensive coordinator, offensive head coach, excuse me, and head
- 32:27Speaker 3: coach in Ben Johnson, just want to play eye candy
- 32:31Speaker 3: with you, shifts and motions pretty much every play. But, yeah,
- 32:34Speaker 3: they want to be a grounded pound team, play action
- 32:36Speaker 3: off that, boot off that. So we've got to really
- 32:38Speaker 3: be assignment sound when it comes to handling the shifts
- 32:42Speaker 3: and motions and then playing the play off those.
- 32:45Speaker 1: So there you go, Bone.
- 32:46Speaker 4: I am so ecstatic that we have cuts of guys
- 32:49Speaker 4: talking about the upcoming opponent, man. rather than being asked,
- 32:54Speaker 4: do you want to play in the preseason game on
- 32:56Speaker 4: Friday night?
- 32:57Speaker 1: Like, it's here, baby. Game week is here. You hear
- 33:01Speaker 1: the leadership on display from Devin Lloyd. And, Mac, I'm
- 33:05Speaker 1: looking it up right now, and maybe last week it
- 33:07Speaker 1: was said, because we were talking about J.J. Jansen and
- 33:11Speaker 1: Bryce being team captains for the fourth time and where
- 33:15Speaker 1: that puts them sort of historically. Mac, how many Panther
- 33:18Speaker 1: players have been named, obviously their first year on the team,
- 33:21Speaker 1: but how many Panther players have been named team captain
- 33:23Speaker 1: in their first season with the team? Six. Okay, I
- 33:27Speaker 1: didn't realize that. No, I just made that up. I
- 33:28Speaker 1: just wondered, Devin Lloyd. I don't know the answer to that.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd. Ask Smoke Ludwig. Who do you think I am?
- 33:31Speaker 1: Smoke Ludwig? Devin Lloyd's got to be in rare territory
- 33:33Speaker 1: outside of like... Hey, y'all, how are you doing? Bryce was. Bryce,
- 33:35Speaker 1: as a rookie, was named captain. Was Cam... Cam took
- 33:39Speaker 1: a couple years, didn't he? Yeah, he was not a
- 33:40Speaker 1: captain as a rookie. That was a storyline we had.
- 33:42Speaker 1: When was Cam going to be captain? Yeah. J.J.
- 33:45Speaker 4: Jansen didn't become a captain until his 43rd season. Love you, though, J.J.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Someone said J.J. Jansen was around when General Soreness was
- 33:55Speaker 1: rolling the plates. Is this a omen bone?
- 33:58Speaker 4: Catfish Gumby lives in Linville, and he has sent us
- 34:02Speaker 4: a picture of a bear in his yard this morning.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Is this an omen? Oh, my goodness gracious.
- 34:08Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 34:08Speaker 1: The Bears are already after us here in Carolina. Sam
- 34:12Speaker 1: Darnold was a captain in his first year, but quarterbacks also,
- 34:15Speaker 1: the starting quarterbacks, Matt, get that C on there, though,
- 34:17Speaker 1: don't they? That's a different, the starting quarterbacks are the captains, usually,
- 34:21Speaker 1: for the teams, right? Most of the time. Yeah. Except
- 34:24Speaker 1: Cam wasn't, which was an odd thing to start. Did
- 34:26Speaker 1: Baker become a captain in year one? I don't know.
- 34:28Speaker 4: If so, they stripped that away after he had 48
- 34:30Speaker 4: passes batted down by Cleveland.
- 34:32Speaker 1: After he headbutted other players. When we come back here
- 34:36Speaker 1: on the Mac and Bone Show, you're going to hear
- 34:38Speaker 1: two minutes of the nine-minute standoff between Bill Belichick and
- 34:42Speaker 1: the media yesterday. And on a serious note, Dave Doran
- 34:46Speaker 1: shares a very personal story about 9-11 with the 25th
- 34:50Speaker 1: anniversary coming up this weekend on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 35:10Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Mack and Bone with you.
- 35:15Speaker 4: It's a Panther game week. We're recapping week one still
- 35:18Speaker 4: of college football. There'll be plenty of that today on
- 35:21Speaker 4: the show. SMU, it wasn't easy, and it was ugly
- 35:25Speaker 4: with their four turnovers, but they get a win last
- 35:28Speaker 4: night in Tallahassee. Best text I got, and I forget, oh,
- 35:32Speaker 4: let's see, 704 number. Oh, this was overnight when they
- 35:35Speaker 4: sent this in. Florida State is too good for the ACC,
- 35:39Speaker 4: but they can't keep the lights on. That's a 704 number.
- 35:43Speaker 4: I was thinking the same thing, although their argument would
- 35:46Speaker 4: probably be, we don't have enough money. We need SEC money,
- 35:50Speaker 4: ACC money. We can't afford to keep the lights on. Well,
- 35:53Speaker 4: everybody else can. And the amount of school's bone that
- 35:56Speaker 4: we're trolling Florida state with tweets last night about, Hey,
- 36:00Speaker 4: we're playing such and such night lights will be on Miami.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Got them. Virginia got them. TCU got them.
- 36:07Speaker 4: By the way, Shouldn't you have to play better in
- 36:11Speaker 4: your opener than TCU to troll somebody?
- 36:14Speaker 1: Yeah, that feels like a bad guy move by TCU. Also,
- 36:19Speaker 1: Miami then got trolled because they were bragging about their wives,
- 36:23Speaker 1: but yet they play where the Dolphins play. So people
- 36:27Speaker 1: are saying you live at home with your parents. Oh, man,
- 36:32Speaker 1: that is true. That is true.
- 36:33Speaker 4: It's not exactly your whites there, Hurricane. You're renting the facility.
- 36:37Speaker 4: That is very true.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Oh, man. Anyway, you got to love college football, trash talk.
- 36:43Speaker 1: You got to love the trash talk. Did Jim Phillips
- 36:44Speaker 1: smack when they showed him at midfield talking to the ADs?
- 36:46Speaker 1: Was he talking to the floor to say AD and said, so, uh.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Where do we stand in this hole you want to
- 36:52Speaker 1: leave things? While we're here.
- 36:54Speaker 4: Jim Phillips there, too, in the middle of that train wreck.
- 36:57Speaker 1: My God. All right. Anyway, let's move along here, baby.
- 37:01Speaker 4: Let's move along because some interesting comments were made yesterday
- 37:05Speaker 4: at press conferences in the Triangle. Let's start with Dave Dorn.
- 37:09Speaker 4: NC State plays Richmond on Friday night. My God, do
- 37:13Speaker 4: they need to put on a performance to make folks
- 37:15Speaker 4: feel better in Raleigh. And, you know, Friday will be...
- 37:20Speaker 4: the 25th anniversary of 9-11. They're playing that night. So
- 37:24Speaker 4: they're going to be wearing their Wolfpack Warrior uniforms. It's
- 37:26Speaker 4: black camo. They're really sweet-looking uniforms. Yeah, man. And they're
- 37:31Speaker 4: going to wear those on Friday night. And Dave Doran
- 37:33Speaker 4: was asked about it and asked about, you know, where
- 37:36Speaker 4: were you during 9-11? And I'm not sure anybody in
- 37:40Speaker 4: the public really knew this story about how he almost
- 37:44Speaker 4: lost his father in 9-11.
- 37:46Speaker 1: Listen to Dave Doran.
- 37:49Speaker 11: I was in a position meeting at the University of Montana,
- 37:53Speaker 11: and we met in the mornings there. And I remember
- 37:57Speaker 11: it vividly because my father at the time was in
- 38:02Speaker 11: Boston and was supposed to get on one of those flights.
- 38:05Speaker 11: I don't remember the flight number, but was supposed to
- 38:08Speaker 11: be on one of those flights that ended up crashing.
- 38:10Speaker 11: And so my sister called our secretary, Linda Cardinale, She
- 38:15Speaker 11: came down and knocked on the door and said, hey,
- 38:17Speaker 11: you got to get on the phone. Your sister's calling.
- 38:19Speaker 11: She's freaking out. And, you know, of course, she thought
- 38:22Speaker 11: he had crashed because at that time, you know, cell
- 38:25Speaker 11: reception was nothing. Couldn't get anyone on the phone. I
- 38:29Speaker 11: think it took us four or five hours to actually
- 38:31Speaker 11: get somebody to tell us that he didn't. What happened
- 38:34Speaker 11: was the cab that picked him up that morning didn't
- 38:37Speaker 11: show up. And so he missed the flight. Thank God.
- 38:40Speaker 3: Right.
- 38:40Speaker 11: And he missed that flight.
- 38:42Speaker 5: But.
- 38:43Speaker 11: I'll never forget that day because, you know, for four
- 38:45Speaker 11: or five hours, we thought we had lost my father
- 38:47Speaker 11: in a plane crash. It was crazy.
- 38:49Speaker 4: That had to be scary as hell, man. The cab
- 38:53Speaker 4: doesn't show up, and that's the only reason his dad
- 38:56Speaker 4: was not on one of those planes that crashed on 9-11.
- 38:58Speaker 1: You talk about luck. Yeah, I've been watching a lot
- 39:03Speaker 1: of 9-11 content the last week or so because a
- 39:05Speaker 1: lot of the platforms are putting out various– angles on
- 39:08Speaker 1: the 25 years. I still can't believe that it has
- 39:12Speaker 1: been 25 years. That is a day, sometimes anniversaries do
- 39:18Speaker 1: feel like they're a long time ago. That day, Max,
- 39:20Speaker 1: still feels like it's so fresh in my mind, the feelings,
- 39:24Speaker 1: the memories. That's a day that everything still is vivid
- 39:29Speaker 1: on that day, whereas was, the rest of the day,
- 39:32Speaker 1: the feelings, that whole time period. I mean, there's a
- 39:36Speaker 1: lot of stories like that, too, where, you know, people
- 39:39Speaker 1: were supposed to be in the building, but they missed the,
- 39:42Speaker 1: you know, like he's talking about missing the ride there
- 39:45Speaker 1: or a meeting got canceled. It's just. man, it doesn't feel, though,
- 39:49Speaker 1: like it's been that long, honestly. Gas House Earl, thank
- 39:52Speaker 1: God Uber wasn't in existence. I mean, like, I would almost,
- 39:56Speaker 1: I'm Dave Dorn, want to know who the cab driver is. Like,
- 39:58Speaker 1: thank God. Thank God you neglected your call or whatever.
- 40:02Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Smitty from the city says, Mac,
- 40:04Speaker 1: that's not luck. That's the Lord's provision, my friend. Yeah,
- 40:09Speaker 1: you have to just thank the heavens. Thank God for that.
- 40:13Speaker 4: So that was an amazing story that Dave shared yesterday.
- 40:18Speaker 1: How about on that day? This is another example where
- 40:21Speaker 1: Joe Torrey, Mac, had a charity luncheon that day scheduled
- 40:24Speaker 1: at the World Trade Center. And it got rescheduled. So
- 40:28Speaker 1: Joe Torre could have been. You're right. There's a lot
- 40:31Speaker 1: of those sort of things, man. It's just fate. I mean,
- 40:34Speaker 1: it's just unbelievable. All right.
- 40:36Speaker 4: Let's move along here, Bone, to Bill Belichick's press. They're
- 40:39Speaker 4: slightly different. Slightly different tone. Across the triangle in Bill
- 40:45Speaker 4: Belichick's presser yesterday. It was the first press conference he
- 40:48Speaker 4: did since Lombardi resigned. And since WRAL came out with
- 40:54Speaker 4: a report that the investigation has been expanded to the
- 40:57Speaker 4: entire football program, not just Lombardi. And WRAL started reporting
- 41:02Speaker 4: some of the things, Bone, that are being investigated specifically for.
- 41:07Speaker 4: including Steve Belichick. Was he using drugs on the job?
- 41:11Speaker 4: Did he provide a player, at least one player, with drugs?
- 41:14Speaker 4: Relationships between staffers and players, assistant coaches, recruiting staffers. I mean,
- 41:21Speaker 4: there's all kind of stuff in there. So Bill Belichick
- 41:23Speaker 4: does his presser yesterday bone and Bill Belichick got to
- 41:27Speaker 4: do what he does best, which is just stiff arm,
- 41:31Speaker 4: the media with non answers and mumbles.
- 41:34Speaker 1: So listen to this.
- 41:36Speaker 4: This is part, this is about a minute and a
- 41:39Speaker 4: half plus bone of the back and forth. The back
- 41:42Speaker 4: and forth went on for nine minutes straight. Chris Lee,
- 41:46Speaker 4: who works for WRAL said it is the most uncomfortable nine,
- 41:50Speaker 4: 10 minutes of he has ever experienced at a press conference.
- 41:55Speaker 1: So listen to a little bit of this. Hey, Bill.
- 41:58Speaker 1: Have you been talked to by the investigators?
- 42:00Speaker 8: And were you made aware at any point of complaints, allegations,
- 42:04Speaker 8: or this line of inquiry into either your son or
- 42:06Speaker 8: the recruiting staff?
- 42:08Speaker 10: Brian, again, we're not allowed to talk about the investigation. So,
- 42:12Speaker 10: still not.
- 42:14Speaker 8: Behind you.
- 42:15Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 42:16Speaker 5: Bill.
- 42:18Speaker 5: Do you believe that your program has an.
- 42:21Speaker 6: Atmosphere of compliance?
- 42:24Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. Morning, Bill.
- 42:29Speaker 5: I understand you can't ask, can't talk about the investigation,
- 42:32Speaker 5: but why do you think questions are being asked by
- 42:35Speaker 5: investigators about sex and drug use within the program?
- 42:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:41Speaker 10: Talk to them online.
- 42:45Speaker 3: You know, your GM.
- 42:46Speaker 5: Steps down and did the investigation. Your son's on medical
- 42:50Speaker 5: leave and made questions from investigators about drugs.
- 42:53Speaker 10: Pat, I understand where you keep asking those questions. I
- 42:55Speaker 10: can't speak about that. It's already been talked about.
- 42:57Speaker 5: Well, I guess the question then would just be, what
- 42:59Speaker 5: indications do we have based on the last year and
- 43:01Speaker 5: everything that's been reported that you have control of this program?
- 43:06Speaker 10: I don't think it's, I mean, if you're around here
- 43:09Speaker 10: every day, I think it's it.
- 43:13Speaker 6: Coach, you know, considering the results on the field, the
- 43:15Speaker 6: known fractures of the staff that you've picked, how can
- 43:19Speaker 6: fans trust you to lead this program to success for
- 43:22Speaker 6: the rest of this season, let alone the rest of
- 43:24Speaker 6: your contract?
- 43:26Speaker 10: Yeah, well, we're day by day, and we're definitely, you know,
- 43:28Speaker 10: doing the best we can to prepare for ETSU. They
- 43:30Speaker 10: have a great program.
- 43:31Speaker 1: On to ETSU.
- 43:32Speaker 10: They play very competitively. We've seen that the last two weeks,
- 43:35Speaker 10: and that's where our focus is. So, you know, that's
- 43:37Speaker 10: our goal on Saturday is to go out there and
- 43:39Speaker 10: play as well as we can against them at home.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Long answer. There you go. There you go. On to ETSU.
- 43:44Speaker 1: I heard the media staff said, Bill, are you sure
- 43:46Speaker 1: you got this? He said, you're damn right.
- 43:48Speaker 2: I got this.
- 43:49Speaker 1: I've been dodging bullets for 50 years. Hell yeah.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Like they really thought, and I understand they got a
- 43:54Speaker 4: job to do, although it is kind of funny watching
- 43:57Speaker 4: the presser. It begins bone with a sports information staffer
- 44:01Speaker 4: telling everybody you, he cannot answer questions about an ongoing investigation.
- 44:06Speaker 4: And he does a three minute opening statement all about ETSU. Like, like,
- 44:09Speaker 4: Like they are the greatest team in the history of football.
- 44:11Speaker 4: And then the questions start and it's nine straight minutes
- 44:15Speaker 4: of that right there. And you're right. Bill Belichick was
- 44:18Speaker 4: in his element. We're not sure if he's been comfortable
- 44:20Speaker 4: bone really at all since he has been in Chapel Hill,
- 44:24Speaker 4: but that moment he was built for that.
- 44:26Speaker 1: And did they really think they were going to trip
- 44:28Speaker 1: Bill Belichick up? Mac, the information staff, sports information staff
- 44:33Speaker 1: could have come out and said, ask away. You're free
- 44:36Speaker 1: to ask Bill anything about anything you ever want to ask.
- 44:39Speaker 1: And it wouldn't have mattered anyway. He would have known
- 44:42Speaker 1: what to do. He would have deflected all those questions.
- 44:44Speaker 1: It didn't matter if they were allowed to ask, not
- 44:46Speaker 1: allowed to ask. Belichick was going to put on one
- 44:49Speaker 1: of his all-time great performances. And we finally got a,
- 44:53Speaker 1: we're on the East Tennessee State.
- 44:55Speaker 4: Dr. Suave says, what a waste of time to ask
- 44:58Speaker 4: him questions. Yeah, I mean, I get it. It's like
- 45:01Speaker 4: when we have a guest on the show and there's
- 45:03Speaker 4: something we know they're not going to answer, but it's
- 45:05Speaker 4: a subject that requires the question being asked. I can
- 45:09Speaker 4: understand that. Now, I will say this, Bone. Once you
- 45:12Speaker 4: get maybe about five, six minutes in... Maybe you can
- 45:17Speaker 4: call it a day. You know what I mean?
- 45:18Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 45:19Speaker 4: Maybe you know that he's... The amazing thing to me
- 45:22Speaker 4: about how he does that is he does not... Like,
- 45:27Speaker 4: he keeps the level the same. How many coaches could
- 45:30Speaker 4: keep getting grilled about that and reports of your son's
- 45:32Speaker 4: drug use and stuff like that and keep their cool
- 45:36Speaker 4: nine minutes straight of keeping their cool? And I'm convinced, Bone,
- 45:39Speaker 4: he would have sounded the same way if they did
- 45:41Speaker 4: it for two and a half hours.
- 45:42Speaker 1: Oh, it wouldn't matter.
- 45:43Speaker 4: Like, how many coaches would have gotten pissed off, raised
- 45:45Speaker 4: their voice, and told him, I'm done. I'm done answering
- 45:48Speaker 4: these questions. Like, but he doesn't give a... Like, he
- 45:50Speaker 4: was just made for that, man.
- 45:52Speaker 1: I mean, we saw... We'll play it later, I guess.
- 45:54Speaker 5: We.
- 45:55Speaker 1: John Summerhall, Mac, was mad at the podium. His team
- 45:58Speaker 1: won by 21 the other day, and he was losing
- 46:00Speaker 1: his marbles. Belichick's ability to never lose his mind, you're right,
- 46:05Speaker 1: it's really something. It's good, man. Finney, you proud of
- 46:07Speaker 1: your coach? Finney, you proud of your ball coach? Pew, pew, pew, pew.
- 46:11Speaker 2: What did you expect him to do?
- 46:14Speaker 7: I expected that exact tone from Belichick yesterday. He's not
- 46:19Speaker 7: allowed to answer questions. He's not going to answer the
- 46:22Speaker 7: questions anyway. These reporters should not be surprised or offended
- 46:27Speaker 7: that he did not answer their questions.
- 46:29Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, they shouldn't be surprised or offended.
- 46:32Speaker 2: Oh, they are.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Oh, here goes City again.
- 46:34Speaker 7: Their panties are in an absolute wad because it was
- 46:38Speaker 7: the most uncomfortable nine days.
- 46:40Speaker 2: What did you think he was going to do?
- 46:41Speaker 4: No, I don't think that Chris Lee comment, I don't
- 46:44Speaker 4: think you need to get all upset about it over there, fanboy.
- 46:47Speaker 4: I think he's just saying that that went on for
- 46:50Speaker 4: a long time. Well, then tell your colleagues, quit asking questions.
- 46:55Speaker 4: Tell your colleagues. He's not going to answer questions.
- 46:58Speaker 1: Oh, God, Finney.
- 46:59Speaker 7: It's uncomfortable because you kept pressing him on a matter
- 47:02Speaker 7: he can't talk about. It was probably overkill, but it
- 47:05Speaker 7: does have to be done. And it's a song and dance.
- 47:07Speaker 7: And if Bill Belichick doesn't really give a damn, why
- 47:10Speaker 7: do you? I just don't understand. Like, what's up with
- 47:12Speaker 7: your protection of Bill Belichick?
- 47:14Speaker 1: He's a big boy. He handled himself fine. He likes
- 47:16Speaker 1: that stuff. Calm your ass down. He loves that stuff.
- 47:18Speaker 1: Move on to ETSU, Finney.
- 47:20Speaker 7: I have.
- 47:20Speaker 4: All right.
- 47:21Speaker 2: We're on the East Tennessee State.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness, Finney. What am I going to do?
- 47:25Speaker 1: What are we going to do with fanboy Finney? I
- 47:28Speaker 1: don't know. God, fanboy Finney.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, sorry. I don't want to protect my program.
- 47:32Speaker 2: Good grief. Be a better fan.
- 47:34Speaker 4: First of all, Bill Belichick has one win that you
- 47:36Speaker 4: actually got excited about.
- 47:39Speaker 1: Everything else has been completed under chaos.
- 47:41Speaker 4: So don't act like they were grilling Roy Williams or
- 47:44Speaker 4: somebody you deeply love.
- 47:46Speaker 1: My God. I love every coach associated with the University
- 47:50Speaker 1: of North Carolina. You've loved them since the days of Irwin.
- 47:52Speaker 3: Irwingus.
- 47:54Speaker 1: You've loved them since you flew Aer Lingus with them.
- 47:57Speaker 5: Oh, Lord.
- 47:57Speaker 2: All right, anyway.
- 47:58Speaker 1: When we come back, a lot of media focus is
