  Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh, it's Mac and Bo on your radio, baby.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: This is my friend Matt.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Posh, come on, Posh.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: This is my friend T-Bone.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Let's have some fun.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: I can't go to work without listening to Mac and Bone.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Do it live.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Between the eight and the seven, he's been doing it
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: all night long. I personally have not seen him play
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: this good of a game. I mean, I know it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: The Rams, he was pretty good last year. Sure was.
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: He was pretty good against the Rams a couple times.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: That is Chris Collinsworth discovering live on the air that
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young in year four is a damn good quarterback.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Here's a guy that's good. He's actually played like this.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Here's a guy. He's actually played ridiculously good all season,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: even last week, getting pressured 63% of the time and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: not having his best day. He still did so much
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: good stuff under duress. Listen, I'm not on here to
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: nitpick bone. I am so glad to see, I mean,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: every break you tell me, Oh yeah, I see a
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: clip here from another national media member raving about Bryce.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I am here for it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: Bone.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I am going to just bathe in it. I'm going
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: to bathe in the Bryce love. He deserves it. Y'all
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: gave him MVP chance at the stadium last night and
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I'll be damn bone. If no one's even laughing, that's
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: how ridiculously good he has been through four games. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: last night, He was a maestro. It was amazing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to ask the audience some questions about
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Bryce right now, courtesy of QC Mechanical, your local HVAC experts.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: A couple things here, Mac. In fairness to Chris Collinsworth,
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: he has not slid into the bank in the last
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: decade or so.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: That's fair. So it's been a while.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Also, would you like, Mac, a Bryce stat from last night?
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Would you like a Bryce stat from Ari Mayroff? Bryce
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Young has joined Cam as the only players in Panther
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: franchise history to record a 300-plus yard passing game, two
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: plus TDs, and zero INTs in a primetime game.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: How about that, baby? How about that? Yeah, he took
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: care of the ball, man. That's the thing, too. He's
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: doing it all year. He's taking care of the ball.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: He has nine interceptions, or not nine interceptions, nine touchdowns.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: He has only the single interception. He's got, Bone, only
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: one turnover-worthy play according to PFF the whole season. Even
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in a game like last night, Bone, when the game
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: plan clearly was, let's get it out quick. Our offensive
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: line's wounded, and that Hutchinson dude is not human. So
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: let's get it out quick. He executed it beautifully, but
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: at the end of the night, he averaged eight yards
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: at attempt. If we were to have that game plan, Bone,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: in past seasons, he would have ended up with about
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: 5.8 yards in attempt.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, his getting the ball downfield, and they clearly, Bone,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: sat two safeties back a bunch. They were worried. Imagine
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: this world we're living in. They came into the game,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and a lot of it had to do with their
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: safeties being hurt, but they were worried sick about the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: deep passing game of your Carolina Panthers. and Bryce Young.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: And he only threw the one deep ball. It was
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: a perfect freaking absolute dime to TMAC. But other than that,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: he clobbered them in the intermediate. He had eight of
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: 12 bone in the intermediate. He was just absolutely dealing.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: It was beautiful to see. And I just, this dude is,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I just.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, just imagine Bone with a healthy O-line with
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: all the receivers. You know what I mean? Remember, how
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: many times have people said on this station, Bryce Young
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: needs everything to be perfect around him to succeed. Let's
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: blow that up right now and never say that again.
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: Seriously.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: There you go. Nice explosion.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: What a difference having a play caller, that sole responsibility,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: is handling the play calling for Bryce within the game.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: It feels like that move has been just a.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Complete benefit to Bryce getting to this level there. Brad Inzik,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I think, is doing a great job of the game
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: plan last night in conjunction with Canales, and I'm sure
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Bevel's involved and all the offensive coaches. But Brad Inzik, man,
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: we're talking about Bryce making him some money. Bryce keeps
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: doing what he's doing, putting up these numbers. Brad Idzig
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: is making himself some money as well down the line,
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: and that's fine.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: That's a good point.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: I know people will say, oh, Brad, I want Bryce
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: to get coaches hired because that means he's playing good football.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: That's a good point, man. No doubt about it. What
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: a start for him as a young coordinator, multiple people
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: saying they were loving the RPOs. And the beautiful thing
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: about it, Bone, is it was different, right? It was
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: different than other game plans this year. They adjusted based
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: on their personnel situation individually. And that is smart freaking coaching.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: And as far as Bryce Young goes, because the ask
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: the audience question is essentially, how do you feel about
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Bryce now? How good do you feel about him now?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I said it in the first hour of
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the show. He has proved to me, Bo, not only
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: has he proved, we can't say things like he needs
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: everything to be perfect around him to succeed because we
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: know after watching last night, that ain't the case. But
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: also we also can't say he's not one. And I've
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: said this before. He's not one of those guys that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: can pick up what's around him and carry it. He's
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: not one that can elevate everybody around him. Y'all, he
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: is doing that right now. He has become a quarterback
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: in year four bone that elevates missing two of your
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: top three receivers. Let me make the other guys better.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Let's get Metchie to ball. Let's get Tremaine to ball.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Let's make these tight ends better. Um, don't have an
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: offensive line. Um, by the end of the game, you're
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: missing four starting O-linemen. Um, let's get the ball out quick.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I can run that point guard quick pass game too.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: It's just He is an absolute weapon right now, man.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: He's a magician back there right now. How about some
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: of those throws, Matt? The one I assume was to T-Mac.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I don't remember because most of them were last night.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: The one he floated in the air to T-Mac, kind
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: of just on the run, floated it right above. Not
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: only the one on the sidelines, we floated one on
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the run. I mean, it's just.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: This is the Alabama product that we drafted right now.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: We've said it along the way, but in terms of mind,
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: in confidence, and in play, this is that dude right now.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: He's just figured it out, man. He has figured it out,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: and things have slowed down for him. And he is now,
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: I forget which of the analysts said it, maybe RG3,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: he's now dictating things. He's not reacting anymore to the defense.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: He is now dictating, here's how this game's going to go.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: You're going to have to react to me if.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: You can, man.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Beating the defense to the punch is what RG3 said. Yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: that's kind of what I'm saying. So how do y'all
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: feel about Bryce today? ACS, where's Bebop? Oh, he's still
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: texting in shamelessly. But I have vowed to ignore that man, Boney.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Like it's the plague knocking at my door right now.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I'm going to ignore it. Can I at least update
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: just so the audience is asking about him, what he's saying?
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Just update that. You don't have to comment on this. He's...
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: He realizes that his whole shtick is in.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Peril right now.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: His whole existence. He's trying to figure out how to
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: deal with this. And it's not, it's not, I don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: feel there's conviction behind what Bebop is saying. Two weeks ago,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: he hardly texted after Atlanta because he had to get
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: new tires. Today, I feel like he's probably, is he
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: getting new tires again? I'm not really sure. He said
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: today that he was having trouble texting with his phone today.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: He's trying to like say, you know, he's trying to
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: downplay it is what he's doing right now. But I'm
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: not here.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: The quality of defense is again being questioned. He's not
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: the only one, but it's very few. It's very few. Listen,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: he's done it four straight weeks. Even the Browns game.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Those circumstances last year, Bone, I am convinced that Cleveland game,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: he would have had multiple turnovers in it. And it
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have been, I got hit in the arm last
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: play of the game turnover. So to me, if you
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: can't see the difference in Bryce Young, then you're blind
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: as a bat or you just don't want to see it,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: which I think is the case there for him. Multiple
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: texters saying you're seeing the point guard Bryce, and it's
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: so true. One of my favorite plays, first of all,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: your favorite play, I believe, has to universally be the
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: third and 14 or whatever it was, Bone, where he...
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: evades the rush to the right and hits T-Mac, who
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: just does double toe drag swag to the max and
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: holds on to the ball. But a very underrated play
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: is one in the second half where he is evading
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the rush to the left, and he literally draws the
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: defense like he's a point guard. Come to me. He
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: knows what he's doing. Come to me. Rush me.
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: Boom.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Mitchell Evans for nine yards. And I don't know if
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: you remember that play, Bo?
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: But like that's point guard play. He is drawing. He
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: is driving, drawing and dishing. That's what he, and I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: telling you, man, he is dictating the game. Now he
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: is in charge. He is in command. I don't care
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: who they're playing because we know in the past, Bryce
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Young has had bad games in the past bone against
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: bad defenses. Um, he's doing it with a skeleton crew
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: at O-line and receiver. He's an absolute miniature bad-ass.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: A wise man once said, Mac, he's like a middle
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: infielder that's controlling the infield with his throats. Do you
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: know what poet said that? That was definitely Collinsworth. Christopher
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Collinsworth Longfellow. That was definitely Collinsworth. AC says Tepper was right. Yeah,
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: is Tepper being validated right now by Bryce?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: He's going to call a press conference this week to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: tell everyone he was right, but this time he'll talk
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: into the microphone, not be off to the side. Mac,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: you know what I loved seeing last night from Bryce?
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: We saw his personality. We saw, you know, there was
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: times in Alabama where he would have a little bit
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: of fun on the football field, and you saw that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: in a big way last night. He had the pointing
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: after big first downs. When he stood in the pocket,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I think it was a third and six, got the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you-know-what knocked out of him. Makes the throw, and he
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: runs by the Lions defensive lineman, and he taps him
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: on the shoulder. We're starting to see that side of him, too.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: He may be this guy that smiles, and he may
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: be soft-spoken, and he may say super too many times
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: at a press conference. That dude's a freaking warrior. That
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: dude's a freaking competitor. Oh, yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: The toughness will never be questioned after the hits he's taken.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: And I'm glad the football.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: World saw our quarterback put on that performance last night.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Because it's validating the crap we have said for the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: last 18 months. Because we believe he's capable of doing that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: He's playing better. Like if he has a full season
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: like this, he has blown away what I thought he
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: would do. I thought his ceiling was eighth or ninth
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: best quarterback in the NFL. And I got blasted for
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: saying that you guys both brought up like pro bowl
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: caliber season. Like, y'all are being validated for that fate,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: the two of you are. No doubt.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: And I understand, like, the Pro Bowl, it's not even
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: a game anymore. I just feel like numbers. It's still
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: an honor. They still give out the honor without the stupid.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Waste of time. I just thought numbers-wise, he could get there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's literally, like.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Now I'm trying to think of, can they measure him
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: back for a gold jacket?
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: It might not be the biggest gold jacket. Wouldn't even
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: be costly with fabric. It'd be very little fabric. So
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I'm getting a lot of Collinsworth bashing right now, Bone.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: By the way, we're going to do Pulse of Panther Nation.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: People are saying MVP candidate. Yeah, the chant was not silly.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: The chant is understandable. What his current odds are in that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I'll have to look that up. It's got to have
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: gone up. No doubt about it. We're going to do
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Pulse of Panther Nation coming up at 825. I want
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: to hear what you're excited about. We also can open
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: up the Bryce Young payment conversation too, Bo, because I
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: am about at the point where we'll figure out what
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the number is, but I'm about at the point, I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: think I'm at the point where it's just like he
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: has to get paid. And the rest of the season
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: is just negotiation. It's him negotiating with his arm and legs. But, like,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: right now, I'm telling you, there is no way we
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: cannot pay Bryce Young. It just feels like that is
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: now the answer, Paul.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Mac, I'm not sure when this is updated, but as
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: of right now this morning, he's tied for.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: He's tied for like 10th or so.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize he's tied.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: He's tied with Caleb Williams, Jalen Hurts, Jordan Love, and
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: JSN and Kenneth Walker. He is behind Drake May, though.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I know Drake May had one good game.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know how often it updates these things, but
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: something we'll monitor here. He's on the list, but he
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: should be ahead of some of these guys, I'd say.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Kyle F. says give him a blank check. He's still up, though, right?
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Because he was like 16th a couple weeks ago. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: he's moving up, but it is a little slower than...
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: He's tied with a bunch of guys, yeah. This dude says,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: can we chill with the MVP stuff? I remember a
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: conversation years ago that Jake DeLome was in contention for
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: the first six weeks of the season MVP. Hey, we
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: were proud to win. award him that all right it's
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: funny because i was thinking about that this morning there
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: was a season i don't remember what one it is
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: where he started off so good statistically where he was
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: being like mvp mentioned early in the season um cam
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: too ironically not in his mvp season his mvp season
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: bone he really went off in the second half of
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the year that year even though we were winning all
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: the games statistically took it to another level but do
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: you remember and unfortunately bony got hurt but i think
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: it was the north turner season Oh, yeah. Where in
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: the first half of the year, he was so accurate
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: passing with Norv's system, and he was getting a little like,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: could he win another MVP early? So we got a
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: long way to go, but he is playing at a
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: ridiculous level. Now, what did you think of Collinsworth, Bone?
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I usually like Collinsworth, and it seems like the rest
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: of America hates him. We're getting a lot of complaints
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: about him. He drove me crazy in the fourth quarter
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: of this game because it felt like he was trying
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: to will the Lions. into the game to make it
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: like an exciting finish. I'm not saying like he wanted
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: us to lose or anything, but I don't know if
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: you notice, like, I'm telling you, this game isn't over.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: They get this ball back. It's not over. And then
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: when that last drive fizzled out after the Prince Lee
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: sack and Lee and Ransom making the stop on fourth down,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: he was so upset that the Lions drive did not
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: go any further. Yeah, I don't know. Did you notice?
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I can't be the only one that noticed. He wants
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: a Lions rally so bad.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been a longtime College World supporter, but not
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: last night. He also was kind of, I know Adam
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Gold was tweeting about it. He kind of was making
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: up some narratives along the way. I don't know where
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: he was getting stuff from. The one about Bryce's sideline demeanor.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: What was the exact phrase he used there? That look
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: on his face right there. That gets a lot of
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: people angry. Didn't he say something like that? I don't
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: think we've ever had a discussion on, Cam on the
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: sidelines would make people mad. I don't remember Bryce ever
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: being a discussion of that. Bryce just kind of sits
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: there and just, I don't know, what's he do?
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: What was it? Did you remember that? What was the
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: look on? I don't remember what the look on Bryce's
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: face kind of half smiling. OK, so it was kind
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: of like happy in the middle of the game type thing.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: I kind of feel like he started something there that
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: might not be a real thing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: Because now the haters are going to go, oh, yeah,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: what got him over there? Oh, yeah, they're taking notes.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: They're like, okay, let me remember to use that one
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: on Mac and Bone. What was your theory on what happened,
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: why Collinsworth said that?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I forgot my own theory.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: That Bebop made 25 burners.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Bebop must have spammed. Made like 27,000 different
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: accounts to complain about this. And Collinsworth just thought, man,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: this is great. This is accurate. Let me take this
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: to the air.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Here's a guy, Bebop. Here's a guy that came up
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: with 38 burners. 704 number says, Mac, I get what
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: you're saying. I think Collinsworth wanted a fantastic finish, but
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: don't act like you thought everything was under control late
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: in that game.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: In my brain.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: I was terrified. I had the exact same thought. I
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: thought about what the score would be and how the
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: extra points would have cost us the game if they
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: drove down there.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: I thought they did a poor job of milking the clock.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: How about the one series where they got a field
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: goal to go up 32-19. They were in the red
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: zone and Bryce threw three straight passes in a row
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: that were incomplete. That's when Chuba was red hot on
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: the series to get him down there. They didn't chew
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: the clock there. Later on, the next series is the
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: one that caught me. They did a terrible, I don't
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: know if we're not used to having clock-killing drives here
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: at Charlotte all the time, but I thought the fourth quarter,
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: they were throwing the ball way too much and not
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: chewing the clock out.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I think we're used to always having to come from
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: behind on the final drive in the fourth quarter.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: How fun is it to nitpick a win?
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: With so many starters down.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: That's why, even after last week, I was still optimistic.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: It's why I wanted to be 2-2, and I think
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: it's a big difference between being 1-3. But, Mac, this
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: team isn't full. This team isn't whole. And they've been
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: in every game. In every single game. And the biggest
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: reason why has been their quarterback.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: That's the best thing.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: They won last night, and there's still some things that
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: we can get better at.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Definitely. No doubt about it. And guys will get healthy eventually.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I will say this, Bone, at the end of the
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Bears game, I didn't feel in it. I will concede that. But, man,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: to be 2-2 with all that's gone on, yeah, it's
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: a good feeling today. You want this going into Dubai
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: for your own fan sanity. You said it earlier. One
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: and three would have felt immensely different.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: It really would have.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: When we come back, Pulse of Panther Nation, how pumped
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: are fans after last night? Is everyone ready to pay
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Bryce now?
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: 704-570-9610.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Macbone Fitty. Sports Radio.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: 92.7 WFNZ.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. We need to get the pulse
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: of Panther Nation cranked up right now. Panther fans, jump
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: in here on the phone lines. How much did you
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: love last night? What or who impressed you the most?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: And are you a part of the growing number of
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: people on the text line that are saying pay Bryce
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Young now? There seems to be this thought that, hey,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: it's the bye week. Spend some time trying to get
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Bryce's deal done. I would not argue, like if they
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: announced a deal with Bryce Youngbone, I guess you would
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: wonder what the number's going to be. I wouldn't be
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: opposed to trying to get it done. Now, the flip
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: side of that is Bryce Young and his agent realize
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: he's on a heater. Like, they may not want to
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: do anything until after the season at this point, right?
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. But you could try. I certainly wouldn't
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: be against trying. This texter said he'd pay him $ 55
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: million a year right now. You think Bryce would say yes?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: No, no way.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I think he sees 60 million a year in his future.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: His current pace is for the third most passing yards
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: ever in the history of the league. So you can
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: say what you want, but that's the pace he's on
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: right now. By the way, Matt, just a quick note here.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: We have a lot of time to focus on this,
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: but three Eagles defenders got injured in the second half
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: of their game against the Rams yesterday. Quignon Mitchell hurt
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: his knee. Cooper Dejean left the game as well. Jonathan
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Grenard was hurt yesterday. So just keep that in mind.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Long way to go. But for the next opponent down
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: the line, they're pretty banged.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Up on defense. And Barkley got hurt on offense. Slightly
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: important factor. I'm going to write Bebop's text for him now, Boney.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: That Eagles defense was decimated by injury. All right.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Anyway, Bebop gets strangely busy on Pedro Wendez.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: 704-5709-610.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: All right. Let's get the fans in here. How far
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: are you willing to go on pay Bryce Young immediately?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Offer him this, offer him that. And who else other
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: than Bryce last night deserves love? Because it was an
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: undermanned team and so many cats stepped up. Hell, even
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: speaking of cats, even Sir Purr stepped up. What an
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: exhilarating intro. Bungie jumping into the stadium. Ain't no way
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I'm doing that, Boney. Are you kidding me?
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Damn, Per got some damn onions on him. Like they
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: said on the broadcast, that's Tom Cruise-like. That kid, he
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: got himself some stones, man. By the way, Matt, before
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: we go to the phone calls here, 704-5709-610. Panther Bo
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: was in town. He lives in Dallas. His parents' cleaning
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: lady found him this morning. They had to get him
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: all dressed and send him back to Dallas.
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's beautiful.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: All right, let's run through some phone calls. We got
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: to start it off, Bone, with the man that is
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: 1-0 as the Panther pep talker. He is BP from HB.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: What a pep talk on Friday. BP, what's going on, man?
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Mac Bone City. It is me, BP from HB, checking in.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Hold up.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Woo!
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Let's go, boys! Man, that was fun. The boys were
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: on one last night. Cardiac cats are back. It's a
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: lot of hot-a-loo-loo blue sad faces last night. Goodbye. Go home, Detroit.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: We are in first place going into the boys. I mean, goodbye.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. A master class of play calling, but better.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Yet, FVP! Bryce, baby.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody hating on Cali last week.
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: Let me tell you this.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I grew up in Orange County, and I'm going to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: give you all a little history lesson.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: We've seen this from Bryce since his modern-day days.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Y'all probably didn't know this, but Ted McMillan went to
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a high school called Servite. He actually played with Mason Graham,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: so that was cool. Those are boys. So did Amon Ross, St.
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: Brown.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: He's a modern-day guy, too. A lot of talent comes
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: out of there, but, man, Bryce was shifty. I got
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a list of boys that need some love here. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: saw a face last night. Does that mean he scored?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: That's 10, baby.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, that was beautiful.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Caleb Evans, Willie, put that seatbelt on, baby. Oh, Nick Scott, Mr. Liability.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You can't call him it anymore. He is... He was
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: making plays. Layton, Zaki, Zaki. I don't care. I love you, baby.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Third and fourth down conversions. My gosh. Waller, Tremaine, Mechie
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: with big catches. Boys, I love you.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I love you, too. BP, did you say Cale.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Bevins in there? We're going to take these Eagles out
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: in two weeks. Let's go to the five.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Did you say Cale Bevins, BP?
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: You might have gone too far there, BP. Love the passion.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: There will be a touch on the pep talk. BP,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: you back for the pep talk in two weeks, though, baby.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: You back. Love the fire. Love the fire. Yeah, Caleb
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Evans had just a rough night, man. And you know
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: they were targeting him over and over again. And they
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: were getting him deep over and over again. And I'm
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: not saying it was all his fault. That one at
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: the end of the half bone, I'm trying to figure out.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I thought Averro had a great game plan. I thought
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: the boys executed it. But the way they did on Gibbs,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of people are saying to hold Gibbs. The
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: 46 yards rushing and only 77 total yards is amazing.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: But I don't know what... kind. Was that a busted
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: umbrella bone, that umbrella coverage at the end of the
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: first half? Because what's the point of a five-man umbrella
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: coverage if two of the safeties do not move backwards
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: and just stay in the middle of the field? And
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: then it ends up essentially being just three guys deep
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: and the safety can't get all the way over the
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: top and Evans got toasted. But PFF had Evans giving
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: up 12 catches, 15 targets for 208 yards. God, they
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: went after him, man.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: They may have to think about doing something else with
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Evans because, as I said last week, there are certain
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: matchups that are going to be major problems. Green Bay Mac,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: although they're not great, that's one I worry about because
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: they just sling the ball down the field, and that's
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: one where I worry about him against Golden and Watson
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: and the way they play. Coming up soon, they may
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: have to look at the cornerback market here before something
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: like that costs them a game.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say this. Jordan Love is not playing
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: his best football, though, too.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: He's not, I'm just saying, but the way they're stylistically
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: going to go down the field, I worry.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: About that a little bit.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: 704-570-9610.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Who deserves love after last night? How are you feeling
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: about the pay Bryce conversation that he is literally... imposing
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: it right on our show. And it's beautiful to see.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go back to the phones. We got
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: to bring in Gamecock Kevin, who you know is fired up. Kevin,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: what's going on, man?
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: Well, first of all, let me address 50 for a second. 50.
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: We only get 16 of these a year. 16 of
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: fans calling into this show. I am a veteran of
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: this show where we were able to call all day long.
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: We were able to say whatever we wanted to say
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: all day long. So the first thing this man tells
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: me when I call in is when I talk about
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: the Panthers, talk about being against the Bears.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: It's a Panther segment, baby. It's a Panther segment, Kevin.
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: No, Mac, I understand that, but he's saying we'll talk
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: about that. When am I going to get time to
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: talk about it? Y'all don't take phone calls.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, call me after the show. Call me after we
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: talk about it after the show.
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: Mac, I'm with you, Mac, but listen to me real quick.
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: Y'all giving Caleb Evans, and I can call you, and
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: I will, and T-Bone, I can call both of y'all boys,
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: but anyway, let me leave that alone. So Caleb Evans,
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: he did have a breakup in the end zone. Now,
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: let's not forget that now.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: But let me say this. The politics of the NFL
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: would not allow Bryce to take a small deal. Point blank, period.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: The Players Association will not allow him to take a
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: team-friendly deal. We're going to have to pay this boy.
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: We're going to have to pay him. And one thing
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: Mike Tirico said last night, Mike, I mean, Mac, you
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: were talking about Collinsworth. Mike Tirico had the nerve to say...
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: A lot of Detroit fans travel from Michigan. Tirico, newsflash,
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: they live here now.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: They live in Michigan.
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: They didn't travel down. They live off North Tryon. They
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: live uptown. They live in South Charlotte. They live in
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: West Charlotte.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: They live in East Charlotte.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: They don't live in Michigan anymore, bro. All them clowns
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: done moved down here.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: But Panthers, clowns.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: We should have been 3-1, Mack, and let me tell
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: you why we lost the Cleveland game, because I didn't
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: get a chance to call y'all boys last week. We lost.
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: We lost the Cleveland game because we did not have
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: our green dot on defense.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: What a loss.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Seriously.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: When Boyd is on the defense, we would not have
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: lost that game. Man, we 2-2, baby. I'm flying high.
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry to say it, guys. The Panthers saved my
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: football weekend. And y'all know what I'm talking.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: About, Philly.
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: I'm trying to show respect to you by not saying
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: how the Panthers saved my weekend. But I'm going to
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: leave that alone. Y'all boys be easy. Let's go ahead
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: and get healthy on this bye week. And Philly, pick pop. Tick-tock, tick-tock,
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: and I'm out on that. The clock is ticking on y'all, boys.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: There you go, baby. That's right. Tick-tock, tick-tock, Philly.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Gamecock Kevin's tick-tock record's not great by the way, man.
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I feel like he jinxes his team when he goes tick-tock. Also,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: he's alluding to the Gamecocks. Ah, 9 o'clock hour. 9 o'clock.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I've got to.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Address the latest meltdown and the end of the game
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: situation that just summed up the poor coaching of that team. Seriously.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Wait, did Gamecocks get a double-digit lead? Y'all just turned
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: the game off. I mean, my God. But anyway, back
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: to the Panthers. One of the scariest days of football
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: is a 17-point lead. Let's keep the phone calls coming.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Jump in here, y'all.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: 704-570-9610.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Does Barron want to sing about Bryce or does he
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: want to talk about Bryce? Or both, maybe. What's up, Barron?
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: A little bit of both. Real quick, 73% of America
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: said we were going to lose. Not a single person
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: picked us.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: And.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: We beat a true blood. Detroit's a true blood. So
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: to be the true blood on Sunday night football in
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: that scenario, this is one that puts Carolina on the map,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: in my opinion. And Bryce, it's like a kid seeing
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: him grow up and actually, like, achieve. So for all
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: those people that hated Bryce, I just got to say,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Bryce Young, he's a QB. Bryce Young, did you really
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: think he'd suck forever? Forever, Baratheon.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Let's get them, baby. That's beautiful, baby. That's beautiful. I'm
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: in tears right now. All right, you're the man, Barrett.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: You're the man. Everybody get your lighters out, man. Or
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: you don't do lighters anymore, do you? You do your
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: phones now. I'm not afraid to cry on the radio.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Get your phones out, man. You don't do lighters anymore,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I'm an old man. But anyway, yeah,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: that was beautiful, man. What a crooner the man is.
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Let's go back to the phones here. It is the
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: pulse of Panther nation calls. We got texters saying they're
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: crying too. Even find more deodorants crying. Although that might
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: be the same thing. All right, let's go to Mark
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: who is up next. I don't know which of all
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: our marks. This is Mark. What's going on, man.
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: Hey Mac, how y'all doing? This is Mark from Greenville,
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: South Carolina. I was at the game last night and
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: it was a great atmosphere. But Pruko was right, man.
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: There was a lot of Lions fans that were actually
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: from Michigan at that game last night. I was sitting
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: beside two of them, walked down the stadium talking about
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: five of them. They had a bus full of them
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: down from Michigan that was at the game.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Well, at least they're going back. At least they're going back.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Some of them we can't get. rid of, but some
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: of them we can.
• 29:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but no, Bryce was on point last night. I mean,
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: all the people saying that he can't do it without
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: everybody else, he was showing he can do it with
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: no help, and he was just lighting them up last night.
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: It was great to see. The MVP chants were great.
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: The atmosphere in the stadium was great. It reminded me
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: a lot of the Rams game that I went to.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: In the playoff game.
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: Yes. But that game was not a lot of other
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: opposing fans in the stadium, so we've got to keep
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: our stadium like it is. I know a lot of
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: PSL owners were selling their tickets because of the rain.
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: They didn't want to get the rain, and the weatherman–
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: Kept our fans away, but it was a great atmosphere,
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: great lights, and yeah, go Panthers.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I'll say this. I appreciate it. That's a great call, man.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: That's a great call, Mark. Again, I chickened out because
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I was going to be out so late, Boney, and
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I'm an old man, so I went home to watch it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: But I don't know about you, Boney, on TV, even
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: though I knew having done the pregame at the doghouse,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: I knew there was a bunch of Lions fans and
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I heard what Tirico said. When the Panther fans were
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: loud to keep pounding chants, the MVP, when the Lions
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: are on offense, that place you could tell was loud
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: as hell. You wouldn't have thought there was a significant
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: amount of other teams' fans in those moments.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: The Panthers' offense had a lot to do with that
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: as well. They gave the fans reasons to cheer. It
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: wasn't just a normal... 14, 10, 16, 13, slugfest, offensive
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: struggling type game, there was a lot of reasons and
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: a lot of plays made where the fans could be vocal.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Big time. No doubt about it. All right, Fit Daddy.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Do we go to Fit Daddy update right now, baby?
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: We got two more calls if you want to sneak
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: them in.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Are you giving up your airtime for the callers, Fitty?
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I'm a man of the people.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: God, this is a heartwarming moment. Are you feeling okay?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Let's go quick on these guys.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Your sweetheart, Ty, are you out this weekend, Finney? All right. Anyway,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: probably not appropriate, Mac.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Anyway, let's go to.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: People making fun of Mac for using the word cruder
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: like it's from 1950.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I'm an old man, y'all. Here he is, baby. The
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: guy that threw away Panther Witt's smart-ass sign at the
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: doghouse last night. Tanner the Ranter. Tanner, you did the
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Lord's work throwing that damn sign away. What's up, brother?
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: I sure did. And, guys, that doghouse was rocking yesterday.
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: Crazy.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: I've never seen so many beer cans in my life
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: in one bar. That place was nuts. I had a blast. Guys,
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: I got five people I want to shout out. Starting
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: first with our franchise quarterback, Bryce Young. You had a
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: hell of a night. 329 yards. Two touchdowns, no interceptions. Guys,
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: I think we pay Bryce Young right now. Let's pay
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: the man. Let's get it done. He is our franchise quarterback.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: Next up, Cuba Hubbard. Holding it down in the run game.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: He had 20 carries, over 100 yards, and two touchdowns.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: How about it?
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: Over six yards average. He had a hell of a night.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Next up, guys. TMAC had an absolute day, a career game,
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: 14 receptions, 192 yards. You couldn't ask for a better game,
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: two touchdowns. And, guys, I got to shout out the
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: fans here, man. How about the fans? You guys made
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: it loud, so loud. You can hear Keith pounding the
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: whole night. And that defense, man, this defense rocked. It
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: stepped up, led by Devin Lloyd in the middle. He
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: is such an asset to this team. To be able
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: to hold it down and shut down that run game
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: like we did, that was awesome, guys. I'm fired up.
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: I love you guys. Shout out, Mac and Bone.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: You rock, baby. Keep pounding! Keep pounding! Keep pounding! That
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: was good. That was good. All right, let's get Jimmy
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: real quick. Jimmy, you've got like 30 seconds, man. How
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: are you feeling?
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: I'm feeling great.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: So, by the way, Phinney for governor one day.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: He's the best. Love what the Panthers did last night.
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: That was awesome. We had so many injuries, but we
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: still fed away. Let's get healthy. I hate these old
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: Detroit fans. I don't want to ever see other opposing
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: teams fans in our stadium again. But the Panthers fans
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: that were there, we showed up. We did great. Let's
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: keep pounding, guys.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Love it, baby. Love it, Jimmy. Appreciate you, Cole. Keep pounding!
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Multiple people asking, was Tanner drunk? I know he is
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: on the post games.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: I thought that was BP from HB called back in again.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: I think the beers might have worn off by now,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: but I can't guarantee that to you. You said he
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: threw away Panther Steve's sign last night? Panther Steve came
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: down there with a sign. Choice words for us down
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: there at the doghouse. And Tanner the Ranter just got
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: that thing the hell out of there.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Do we need to put him back as Panther Weenie now? No,
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: I say we let him. We give him a reprieve, baby.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Good vibes.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: When we come back, sounds of the Panthers canals with
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: another rousing victory speech. T-Max surprised by the MVP chance
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: he heard last night in National Media Lovin' on Bryce Young.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: I'm going to be totally honest. Somebody told me that
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: after the game, I did not know they were chanting
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: MVP chant for Bryce. Maybe it was just, you know,
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: I was just too locked into the game. But, you know,
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: that guy obviously, you know, his road to where he
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: is now has been incredible. You know, he's elevated every
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: single year and he comes in with the same mindset
• 35:32
  Speaker 11: every day. You know, his authenticity is really special. You know,
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: he's the same guy every day. He treats everybody the same. And,
• 35:38
  Speaker 11: you know, he comes to this building, you know, wanting
• 35:40
  Speaker 11: to be great and, You know, that's all you really
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: can ask for in your captain and your leader.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: That is T-Mac after an absolute epic, a masterclass of
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: a game. I mean, Bryce was amazing. The offensive game,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: there's so many guys, Bone, to credit. But T-Mac went
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: the bleep off historic performance last night. 14 catches, 192,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: and two freaking touchdowns. What a way to bounce back
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: from the rough two-catch game last week. That was remarkable.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, tied for the second most yards ever in a
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: regular season game for a Panther receiving guards-wise. Smitty has
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: 201 in the regular season. Musum Muhammad has a 192 game,
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: so he moves for second all-time.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: What a night, man. What a night. And multiple people
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: have asked the question, why did Detroit going into the
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: game with Coker out? Why did they not realize we've
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: got to take away TMAC? And that is both an
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: amazing question, but a question bone I'm not going to
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: trouble myself with too much this morning. I thought the
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: same thing. It kept happening. And I'm like, have they
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: not got the memo yet? Dude is at double digit
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: catches at halftime. Or I guess it was nine at halftime, right?
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Nine for 147 at halftime. And it just seems like
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: they hardly adjusted. But God bless them, Bone. God bless them.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: We'll keep taking it if you keep giving it to us. Matt,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: do you know what Smitty's 201 game was? Not the
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Bears postseason. That didn't count for this. But do you
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: know what his 2-0-1 game was? Was it Cam's first game?
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: No, it was in 2005 when he rode the boat
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: against Fred Smoot against Minnesota.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Okay, that makes sense. That definitely makes sense, man.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: All over Smootie that day. Let me give you a
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: little more, T-Mac, because a lot of people are texting in.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: A couple callers mentioned it during that segment. T-Mac had
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: an epic moment when he went up to the camera
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: and and said, shout out to Steve Smith. If you
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: can see my face, that means I scored the classic
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: old Steve Smith line after a touchdown in the camera.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: And TMAC was, Vashti Hurt noticed it, asked him about
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: it after the game.
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: I thought the camera had a mic, so I don't
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: know why they didn't catch what I said. But I
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: just said, really, I said shout out to Steve Smith.
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: If you see this face, that means I scored again.
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: You know, so I did a little tribute to him
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: for sure.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: So there you go. That's awesome, man.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: T-Mac's such a likable dude. That's pretty cool that he even...
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: T-Mac's a pretty young guy, so that's pretty cool that
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: he had the knowledge of... I mean, I don't know
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: if he learned it since he was here, but that's
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: pretty cool that he had that ready to go.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I've noticed, and I can't think of the examples, maybe
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: because I'm getting old, but I have noticed, Bone... that
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: he has paid homage in the past, too, whether it
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: was Cam. He's very aware of the Panther history, to
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: your point. For a Cali kid that's just here for
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: a second year, he's very aware of that kind of stuff,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: which is endearing. I just love his chill personality, and
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: you cannot convince me that he did not show up last.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: First of all, the game plan certainly called for a
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: lot of quick ones to him, but he went out
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: there and I think wanted to prove a point. Um,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: what was the other thing? Oh, speaking of, uh, paying
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: homage to Panthers, that wasn't a coincidence. Was it that
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Jamison Williams and St. Brown dusted off the dab? Like
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: that had to be like a, we're in cams house thing. Yeah,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: it had to be right. I would, I would think so. Well,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: dab your asses on out of here then damage.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Imagine being a Detroit fricking lion, a member of that
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: organization that hasn't won crap. And then you're going to
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: dab on, on our field. Take the L. How's your
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: unemployment rate this morning, Detroit? Get the hell out of here. Oh,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: That got strangely personal there. That is true, though, Fit.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Of all the organizations, the Lions and the Browns should
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: never taunt. Just be thankful that you exist and fans
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: support your sorry ass.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say, Bonesy, I think clearly
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: they came in here thinking they were going to light
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: our beleaguered secondary the hell up. Just to Caleb Evans.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: And they were going to get out of here with
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: a win. That was the one guy you probably could
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: afford to dab on. But I love it. Love it, man,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: that we ended up getting the dub. We got to
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: get to Coach Canales' press talk. Coach Canales' victory speech,
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: the pep talk afterwards. I love these things, Bone. They're
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: so amusing after a win. By the way, the locker
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: room also included, when Bryce walked in, his teammates chanting
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: MVP to him, which damn near brought a tear to
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: my eye, seeing that sort of adoration and respect for
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: QB nine. But listen to this. This is Canales as
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: only he can do.
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: First of all, first of all, a full team win.
• 40:36
  Speaker 12: Took all of us the whole time, okay?
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: We knew it was going to be hard. We made
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: it harder than it should have been, okay? There are
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: some things that we gave them. There's some hidden yardage
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: we're going to be able to talk about tomorrow. But
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: let's talk about tonight, okay?
• 40:49
  Speaker 13: First time in team history with 10-plus catches, 175-plus yards,
• 40:52
  Speaker 13: and two touchdowns. Let's hear it for team history. First
• 40:58
  Speaker 13: quarterback in a hell of a day. A couple touchdown passes.
• 41:01
  Speaker 12: Most passing yards in the first four games in team history.
• 41:10
  Speaker 13: Just keep playing ball.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: How about your defense?
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: Going back out there. Time it again. The Lions defense
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: showed up at the end. We've got to be able
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: to finish on our terms. But a hell of a win.
• 41:19
  Speaker 12: We'll celebrate the hell out of it. We'll talk all
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: about that tomorrow.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: JJ, you got it.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: Hey, hey, hey.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Hey, I couldn't be more grateful for everyone here.
• 41:28
  Speaker 13: All the work we put in, everything we do, this
• 41:30
  Speaker 13: is all about the team, and I'm so grateful for that.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Enjoy this for 24.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Enjoy the bye week. But this is still four games in.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: We got a long road to go.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: A lot of growth to go. Let's keep going.
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: Family on three. One, two, three.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Family on three.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: There we go. There we go, baby. Dave and Bryce.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Did you see? Love it. Did he say JJ at
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: one point? Did JJ get to speak? They did say J.J.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Break it down.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: He did.
• 41:55
