- 1:33Speaker 2: All right, we're six oh one thirty and we're bringing
- 1:37Speaker 2: out the mop on a Monday morning.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Our one, baby one. We walked right into store and
- 1:42Speaker 3: made a mess on me at that neck. That was
- 1:43Speaker 3: my bad, that was my foul. And I'll get out
- 1:46Speaker 3: of the water, all right.
- 1:49Speaker 2: So Custodia isn't even here yet. He's he's already been
- 1:51Speaker 2: brought out and Jeff Peterson has done it again, y'all.
- 1:55Speaker 2: We will talk about it.
- 1:57Speaker 4: This man.
- 1:58Speaker 2: I get the feeling this man is is not done
- 2:01Speaker 2: and he will never be done. So we will talk
- 2:03Speaker 2: about that. The Miles Bridges trade will get into that.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Right off the jump here. SVG has won it again.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I don't know why I put on the grid. SVP wins.
- 2:11Speaker 2: Scott Van Pelt did not win the NASCAR Cup race
- 2:14Speaker 2: at Sonoma. SVG has won another road course race. The
- 2:19Speaker 2: Brains have lost another series as well.
- 2:21Speaker 3: That happened.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Bats got really cold out there in San Francisco on
- 2:25Speaker 5: Saturday and Sunday, we've got ourselves the held.
- 2:29Speaker 3: The knockout round already.
- 2:31Speaker 5: Started yesterday with Canada advancing to the round of sixteen
- 2:34Speaker 5: on the Lake Gold against South Africa. US in action
- 2:37Speaker 5: against Bosie and Herseegovina on Wednesday.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Great matches today.
- 2:42Speaker 5: We'll talk about that stuff as well, and much much
- 2:45Speaker 5: more here on the MAC and Bone show. Tons of
- 2:47Speaker 5: hornets again. Jeff Peterson is looking out for us when
- 2:53Speaker 5: it comes to Contentville. He is driving us to content Ville,
- 2:57Speaker 5: and I will give him that and we will react accordingly.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Bone is here, Fide is here. You heard from everybody
- 3:03Speaker 5: already heard from everybody. What's up, Bone, What's going on?
- 3:06Speaker 5: What's up, big dog? I hope you're doing well. Had
- 3:08Speaker 5: a nice weekend? Yeah, Canada yesterday against South Africa. If
- 3:12Speaker 5: that game MAC went into extra time, I would knock
- 3:14Speaker 5: myself out. I was about ready. I've had enough of
- 3:16Speaker 5: watching Canada here. Although we get them one more time
- 3:19Speaker 5: that watch them again. Yeah, but that that that game
- 3:21Speaker 5: got a little slowed down there towards the end, to
- 3:23Speaker 5: say the least. I thought they were playing for extra
- 3:25Speaker 5: time and next thing you know, Canada scores, but not
- 3:28Speaker 5: the mangor too many Canada mac. This justin not the
- 3:31Speaker 5: most exciting of teams to watch. Yeah, I mean the
- 3:34Speaker 5: game in general, I mean, you're right, the game in
- 3:36Speaker 5: general was kind of I think both teams got tired.
- 3:39Speaker 5: They're kind of slowing it down. There wasn't a whole
- 3:41Speaker 5: lot of action going on. I thought we got to
- 3:42Speaker 5: go more of this, But Canada's scored, so I know,
- 3:44Speaker 5: you know what, I thought was definitely the better team
- 3:47Speaker 5: in terms of chances. There were a couple of clearances
- 3:50Speaker 5: that one of their defenders made off the line or
- 3:54Speaker 5: really near the line that were pretty ridiculous. So yeah,
- 3:57Speaker 5: I think the better team won. Jesse Mark kind of
- 4:00Speaker 5: annoys me if people don't know his background. He's an American.
- 4:03Speaker 5: He was bitter that he did not get the American job,
- 4:06Speaker 5: and he's a little, i don't know, kind of obnoxious.
- 4:09Speaker 3: But I think he's a pretty way. He played for
- 4:11Speaker 3: the US right after that. Yeah, it did.
- 4:12Speaker 5: He's been a Premier league coach. I mean, he's he's
- 4:15Speaker 5: out of a coach and you can't deny it. And
- 4:16Speaker 5: this is mammoth for Canada to go through to the
- 4:19Speaker 5: round of sixteen. They didn't exactly have the toughest round
- 4:22Speaker 5: of thirty two opponent or on the flip side, Brazil
- 4:25Speaker 5: and Japan play each other in around to thirty two,
- 4:28Speaker 5: and the Netherlands and Morocco both those games. Today they're
- 4:31Speaker 5: two top seven teams, Netherlands and Morocco playing in the round,
- 4:34Speaker 5: so it's not exactly balanced ball like you would see
- 4:37Speaker 5: in a seated bracket and that sort of thing.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to see how Germany comes out today
- 4:42Speaker 2: as well. Are they do they make a statement or
- 4:45Speaker 2: they are they on the ropes here? That's another one today.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I can't wait to see well they play Paraguay. If
- 4:49Speaker 2: if they get bounced out of this thing by Paraguay,
- 4:52Speaker 2: that will be an atrocious I'm expecting them to handle
- 4:56Speaker 2: their business today. Bony, would you Max, askt as the
- 4:59Speaker 2: soccer daddy of the station, that's right? You are?
- 5:02Speaker 3: Then that was Willy? No, No, you are number.
- 5:04Speaker 2: You didn't why because he left? Or you didn't go
- 5:06Speaker 2: abroad during the World Cup? You stayed in the States.
- 5:09Speaker 2: What about next week when I go on a cruise
- 5:11Speaker 2: to the Bahamas during the knockout round, you I lose it?
- 5:14Speaker 2: Then we bring instead Dad? Would you mag not not
- 5:18Speaker 2: for any personal gain here? Would you think that Germany
- 5:20Speaker 2: scores over two and a half goals today. Just hypothetically speaking,
- 5:24Speaker 2: I think they're winning by two, but it might be
- 5:25Speaker 2: too nil good.
- 5:27Speaker 3: I'm not right no till I know.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I Like, I could say it doesn't matter bone, I
- 5:31Speaker 2: could bet on things that would happen in my household
- 5:35Speaker 2: and I cannot. I would I would lose, Like it
- 5:37Speaker 2: doesn't matter what level I pay attention to anything. I
- 5:40Speaker 2: know this. I only made one World Cup bet the
- 5:43Speaker 2: entire weekend and it was a crazy win. I bet
- 5:46Speaker 2: eighteen goals to happen on Saturday and all contests could
- 5:50Speaker 2: they can they go eighteen or over on total goals
- 5:52Speaker 2: in Austria, Austria and Algeria at the end of that
- 5:57Speaker 2: game got me over eighteen goals.
- 5:59Speaker 3: They did, and they got the nineteen because of that game,
- 6:01Speaker 3: and they got.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Iron bounced from the Algeria looked like they put Iran
- 6:06Speaker 2: in and knocked Austria off and Austria comes back a
- 6:09Speaker 2: minute later, all in the final like three minutes of
- 6:11Speaker 2: the game, an extra scene and Austria on a head
- 6:15Speaker 2: or late ends up making the World Cup or making
- 6:18Speaker 2: the knockout round and knocking out I ran.
- 6:21Speaker 5: Which was crazy. By the way, we got to talk
- 6:23Speaker 5: about this Miles Bridge a straight between bones betting and
- 6:28Speaker 5: my soccer excitement. We lost it there for about six minutes.
- 6:32Speaker 5: But we had even talked about the us ramifications of
- 6:35Speaker 5: what happened over the weekend. We'll get into that in
- 6:37Speaker 5: what I call the Weekend Poe Pirie. But the Miles
- 6:40Speaker 5: Bridges trade is obviously going to be the number one
- 6:42Speaker 5: thing discussed today on this radio show, in this radio station.
- 6:47Speaker 5: And you knew, I mean, listen, I know people wanted
- 6:51Speaker 5: to get angry every time we brought up Miles Bridge
- 6:53Speaker 5: being traded.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Bone.
- 6:54Speaker 2: They've been trying to trade Miles Bridges for a while
- 6:56Speaker 2: and they have just not gotten a significant or offers
- 7:02Speaker 2: that they saw fit. The drafting of Tjan Salon, I
- 7:06Speaker 2: believe was supposed to be part of that. It's not,
- 7:08Speaker 2: but I think all the way back then they were
- 7:10Speaker 2: trying to plan for the field. I mean, the rumor
- 7:12Speaker 2: has been out there forever, and Phoenix has been a
- 7:14Speaker 2: team that has been involved. You know, Detroit, Yeah, but
- 7:17Speaker 2: Phoenix has been a very prevalent team. And I don't
- 7:19Speaker 2: think it's coincidence that their owner is a Michigan State guy.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I don't think it is a coinciden because I'm sure
- 7:24Speaker 2: there's plenty of teams around the league that would not
- 7:26Speaker 2: even consider trading for him because of the personal stuff,
- 7:30Speaker 2: much less the basketball stuff.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Bone. But yesterday the trade was finally made.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I think when LaMelo Ball was traded, I think then
- 7:37Speaker 2: it became if it was, it was probably ninety eight
- 7:40Speaker 2: percent before that.
- 7:41Speaker 3: It became one hundred percent when LaMelo Ball was traded.
- 7:44Speaker 2: I don't see how anybody there's a there's a bunch
- 7:47Speaker 2: of Warnants fans that seemed shocked by this yesterday.
- 7:49Speaker 3: LaMelo Ball is the shocking one. LaMelo Ball is the
- 7:52Speaker 3: one that you know.
- 7:55Speaker 5: I'm still kind of trying to struggle to come to
- 7:57Speaker 5: terms with this one. I don't understand why some Hornets
- 8:00Speaker 5: fans are so upset about this one. They were not
- 8:03Speaker 5: going to re sign him. They went out and got
- 8:05Speaker 5: something for him yesterday, and in the trade they and
- 8:09Speaker 5: now I am surprised Bone they had to give up
- 8:11Speaker 5: the first round pick of their own in order to
- 8:14Speaker 5: do this. I'm surprised by that twenty twenty nine first
- 8:17Speaker 5: round pick, which ironically was Phoenix's in the first place,
- 8:20Speaker 5: and we're now sending it back to them.
- 8:22Speaker 3: And it is like the love trade with Phoenix.
- 8:25Speaker 5: Yeah, they are, they are for they are an ally
- 8:26Speaker 5: a trade ally, no doubt about it. So you've got
- 8:31Speaker 5: that twenty twenty nine first Miles Bridges. You also have
- 8:34Speaker 5: a twenty twenty seven second going to Phoenix. The Hornets
- 8:38Speaker 5: get Grayson Allen. I'm sure he'ls oh, sure heels fans
- 8:42Speaker 5: might have something to say about that.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Finally, a little toughness yet with a touch of class.
- 8:46Speaker 5: Also here Grayson Allen, roy O'Neill, two veteran players on
- 8:51Speaker 5: the wing that can shoot the rock. They've got two
- 8:54Speaker 5: years left on their deal, so they both have an
- 8:55Speaker 5: extra year compared to Bridges who.
- 8:58Speaker 3: Had one year.
- 8:59Speaker 5: So taking on, you know, taking on a little bit
- 9:01Speaker 5: more money there, there's no doubt about it. Taking on
- 9:03Speaker 5: an extra year there and then but you get back
- 9:06Speaker 5: the star of the deal. If you listen to anybody
- 9:09Speaker 5: that covers the NBA, the star of the deal. And
- 9:12Speaker 5: this will lead to more jokes. It's a twenty thirty
- 9:15Speaker 5: three unprotected first round pick, much like the star of
- 9:19Speaker 5: the deal for the Hornets in the Lamello trade was
- 9:22Speaker 5: a twenty thirty three unprotected first round pick. It sounds
- 9:26Speaker 5: weird bone to have a pick seven years out, especially
- 9:30Speaker 5: if you're in an NFL centric mind like I am.
- 9:33Speaker 5: It's and I think most of us are. It's just
- 9:36Speaker 5: it's it's really, it's kind of weird. How big of
- 9:39Speaker 5: a deal a pick can be seven years in the future.
- 9:42Speaker 5: And cue the jokes bone about the sixth grade class
- 9:45Speaker 5: and Jeff Peterson scouting the sixth graders.
- 9:48Speaker 3: The last of the knipples I think will be rolling
- 9:50Speaker 3: around by then.
- 9:51Speaker 5: But the if I have a suspicion, Jeff Peterson does
- 9:54Speaker 5: not intend to drift use these picks in seven years.
- 9:59Speaker 5: This is more of the asset pull, and these unprotected
- 10:03Speaker 5: picks are our huge assets. What do you think about this?
- 10:07Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone just automatically assumes, Oh, they're gonna have to
- 10:09Speaker 2: use those in twenty thirty three. I'd be surprised Mack
- 10:12Speaker 2: if he has those in twenty twenty nine. Even he's
- 10:15Speaker 2: gonna a good point. He has money in the bank
- 10:17Speaker 2: here with those things. He wants to make a move.
- 10:19Speaker 2: If that twenty thirty three pick macket seened right now,
- 10:22Speaker 2: as Sam quinnf CBS said yesterday, if that scene as
- 10:25Speaker 2: one of the top ten assets in the NBA right now.
- 10:28Speaker 2: That's only going that's not an asset that's going to
- 10:30Speaker 2: go down. That's only going to increase. And to have
- 10:34Speaker 2: that at your in your chamber by Jeff Peterson does
- 10:38Speaker 2: and he is great at these things. Who knows mac
- 10:41Speaker 2: what that could turn into. That's not We're not saving
- 10:43Speaker 2: it for twenty thirty three. We're saving it for the
- 10:45Speaker 2: right moment in time. And that's a cool thing to have. Definitely. Also,
- 10:48Speaker 2: the shock level Bridges to me was zero as soon
- 10:51Speaker 2: as first of all, they made two moves last week.
- 10:54Speaker 2: They drafted a power forward, they got nas reed and
- 10:57Speaker 2: Miles Bridges is a free agent. Where where was he
- 11:00Speaker 2: going to fit in into the future? Was he gonna
- 11:03Speaker 2: come off the bench? No? Were you gonna resign him? No,
- 11:06Speaker 2: you've got Brandon and Kahn, that a roam in the wings.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Where where was Miles Bridges in this particular group gonna
- 11:13Speaker 2: fit in on a resign? He wasn't, So you got
- 11:15Speaker 2: something for him. He was never a part of the
- 11:17Speaker 2: future plans here. So there was zero shock level yesterday.
- 11:20Speaker 2: I want when Nazrie was acquired, I wanted him to
- 11:23Speaker 2: be the starting four. Even if Miles Bridges on this team,
- 11:25Speaker 2: which we all thought, you know what I mean, Look,
- 11:27Speaker 2: we all. I mean I think most people thought Miles
- 11:30Speaker 2: Bridges was going to be traded either here or at
- 11:33Speaker 2: the deadline, just because I think most people thought he's
- 11:37Speaker 2: not in. He's not getting another contract right based on
- 11:40Speaker 2: this rebuild, based on building around young guys like like
- 11:44Speaker 2: Con and Brandon. So I think they got better the
- 11:49Speaker 2: four starting for personally they have Steinbach as a backup
- 11:53Speaker 2: for they also, I have to be honest with you.
- 11:56Speaker 5: Now here's the thing. Would I bet anything significant the
- 12:00Speaker 5: Grayson Allen and Roy O'Neil both are on this team
- 12:04Speaker 5: when we tipped the season in the fall, I would not.
- 12:07Speaker 5: But if they are, I honestly like these guys on
- 12:12Speaker 5: the wing as bench opsons. They both can shoot the
- 12:15Speaker 5: bleep out of the rock. Royce O'Neil bones like a
- 12:19Speaker 5: thirty nine percent three point shooter, good role player, can
- 12:22Speaker 5: play defense for you two there on the wing. Grayson
- 12:25Speaker 5: Allen had a down year this past year, shooting only
- 12:28Speaker 5: thirty five percent.
- 12:29Speaker 3: His volume went up the suns.
- 12:30Speaker 5: Really that's why he led or that's why he had
- 12:32Speaker 5: the most scoring he's ever had, sixteen point five points
- 12:35Speaker 5: a game, but he in the six previous seasons before
- 12:38Speaker 5: last year forty two percent total average over those three
- 12:42Speaker 5: years shooting the three, and he could put it on
- 12:44Speaker 5: the floor still a little bit, which the Hornets don't
- 12:46Speaker 5: have a lot of. So if we end up with
- 12:50Speaker 5: these two dudes, man, I don't think it's terrible at all.
- 12:54Speaker 3: No, these guys, these guys are coming off your bench.
- 12:56Speaker 3: You can do a whole lot worse.
- 12:58Speaker 2: They've started a lot of games in Phoenix, Like, these
- 13:00Speaker 2: guys are very good depth pieces. Matt is Royce O'Neil,
- 13:05Speaker 2: who last year was at nine points, five rebounds, three
- 13:07Speaker 2: assists on the shooting numbers you brought up, there is
- 13:10Speaker 2: Royce O'Neill not a better version of Josh Green? Did
- 13:14Speaker 2: they not just replace Josh Green with Royce O'Neil, a
- 13:16Speaker 2: guy who's played that role for a very Josh Green
- 13:19Speaker 2: was all right, Roys O'Neil's a better player than Jo.
- 13:21Speaker 2: He's a little bit older, but he's thirty three. But
- 13:24Speaker 2: Royce O'Neil is a very good role player that I
- 13:26Speaker 2: would think is an upgrade over Josh Green.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're not and again, you're not married to
- 13:30Speaker 5: any of these guys. No, I mean they're building this
- 13:33Speaker 5: thing around Con and Miller for now right like that.
- 13:36Speaker 5: They want these guys to be the core and be
- 13:40Speaker 5: the foundation. As Brian Windhorse said Bone that that quote
- 13:45Speaker 5: has lived true here they are pivoting from Bridges and
- 13:49Speaker 5: ball being a big part of the corps. I think
- 13:51Speaker 5: they've just shrunkd the core is the way I would
- 13:52Speaker 5: put it. I think if we thought it was a
- 13:54Speaker 5: core four Bone, I think they have shrunk that core down.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Listen, it is it. It is.
- 14:03Speaker 2: The overall fan frustration. I get Bone. I don't think
- 14:06Speaker 2: it's really be attached to Bridges. But they had this
- 14:10Speaker 2: starting lineup Bone that was absolute efficiency. Gods, that was
- 14:14Speaker 2: destroying people. And they've got rid of two of the five,
- 14:17Speaker 2: including the best guy from the five yep.
- 14:19Speaker 5: And this is a team Bone that played some amazing basketball,
- 14:23Speaker 5: won forty four games, and finally, you know, reinvigorated the
- 14:28Speaker 5: fan base.
- 14:29Speaker 2: So from that standpoint, I do understand, like it's now
- 14:33Speaker 2: we're you know, we're training guys now.
- 14:35Speaker 3: I do get it.
- 14:36Speaker 5: And the LaMelo thing, I still you know, I wouldn't
- 14:39Speaker 5: I still probably wouldn't have done it. But Jeff Peterson
- 14:44Speaker 5: is going to I mean, this dude is getting rave
- 14:47Speaker 5: reviews nationally from people that covered the league bone and
- 14:51Speaker 5: you just know big stuff is coming. The only question
- 14:54Speaker 5: is when is it coming? But you know this dude
- 14:57Speaker 5: is going to use all those assets he's piling up
- 15:00Speaker 5: and make a ginormous trade, man, you know, and there's
- 15:03Speaker 5: there's something about that that's so intriguing, you know what
- 15:07Speaker 5: I mean, Mac, did you read anything about nas read
- 15:10Speaker 5: the human since the trade and how beloved of a
- 15:13Speaker 5: cult figure.
- 15:13Speaker 3: He became a Minnesota All the tattoo got tattoos.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Breweries were doing promotions of fans that were showing tattoos
- 15:21Speaker 2: before the game. They had a hawk if you love
- 15:24Speaker 2: Naz Reid campaign that went viral. He he's bold, he
- 15:28Speaker 2: was a he was a whole figure. He was the
- 15:30Speaker 2: favorite player of the fan base, cold for who he was.
- 15:33Speaker 2: By the way, there's also talk of he could have
- 15:37Speaker 2: demanded to start at some point he decided that he
- 15:39Speaker 2: was better off off the bench like he I think
- 15:42Speaker 2: the fans back it won't take a long before.
- 15:43Speaker 3: They realized, oh yeah, he'll be that way here as well.
- 15:45Speaker 5: He's a winning team player. I heard Owen Waterson from
- 15:49Speaker 5: s I compare him to Moosa and that Moosa's are
- 15:54Speaker 5: cult figure here and that's the way.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Now.
- 15:57Speaker 5: I don't know about Moosa tattoos other than Walker Mayle.
- 15:59Speaker 5: I don't know of anyone who's gotten one. We're back
- 16:03Speaker 5: for Walker. He's got the antlers. He's got the moose
- 16:05Speaker 5: antlers all over back.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Oh my god.
- 16:09Speaker 2: But we did have those Moose antlers that went crazy.
- 16:12Speaker 2: So then you they're just they're selfless, winning players, you
- 16:17Speaker 2: know what I mean. Obviously you need the front line stars,
- 16:20Speaker 2: and the Hornets traded their front line star, but there's
- 16:23Speaker 2: there's a move for a star coming.
- 16:26Speaker 5: We It sounds like they had been talking about Jaylen Brown.
- 16:29Speaker 5: Sounds like, you know, based on reports, those things a fizzleed.
- 16:32Speaker 5: We'll get into that today here on the show. Also
- 16:36Speaker 5: want to salute, so there'll be a lot of talk
- 16:37Speaker 5: about the Hornets, the direction. Fans air your grievances, if
- 16:41Speaker 5: you have grievances, If you want to praise Jeff Peterson,
- 16:44Speaker 5: we could do that. I'm very curious to see bone
- 16:46Speaker 5: if people are bringing anger to the show today like
- 16:51Speaker 5: they did with Lamello, cause I don't think this warrants anger,
- 16:56Speaker 5: but it might be cumulative anger might be, you know,
- 17:00Speaker 5: didual anger from the Labella thing just spilling over. But
- 17:03Speaker 5: we'll talk it through with a bug Nation today on
- 17:06Speaker 5: the show. I want to salute SVG, not SVP bone
- 17:09Speaker 5: as I typed out for winning the road course race
- 17:12Speaker 5: at Sonoma yesterday. I didn't think it was a great race,
- 17:18Speaker 5: binning measure of the imagination, especially after the one the
- 17:21Speaker 5: previous week. I don't, you know again back to back
- 17:26Speaker 5: a road course. I don't need to go on my
- 17:28Speaker 5: whole road course thing. It's too many road course races whatever.
- 17:30Speaker 5: But this dude is a complete badass. Nothing shocking about
- 17:34Speaker 5: him winning this matter of fact, if he lost two
- 17:36Speaker 5: road course races in a row would have been shocking.
- 17:38Speaker 5: And he did have to handle a challenge from Chase
- 17:41Speaker 5: Briscoe late like that car, that ninety seven car bone.
- 17:45Speaker 5: It was not getting better race as the race was ending,
- 17:49Speaker 5: and Chase brisco if he didn't slip up with like
- 17:51Speaker 5: four to go, I wonder if he, you know, because
- 17:53Speaker 5: he almost got there into that final turn, the hairpin turn.
- 17:57Speaker 5: But SVG now ties Tony Stewart for the second most
- 18:00Speaker 5: road course races one in Cup history with eight. Jeff
- 18:04Speaker 5: Gordon is nine has nine. It's only a matter of
- 18:06Speaker 5: time Bone before SVG is the all time leader.
- 18:10Speaker 2: YEP, fifty seven percent of road courses he's been in,
- 18:13Speaker 2: he's won them eight of the fourteen. As you said,
- 18:16Speaker 2: lethal dude, that is ridiculous number there.
- 18:18Speaker 6: It was.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it was almost shocking last week. That was very
- 18:22Speaker 2: He wasn't there at the end of that race at
- 18:24Speaker 2: least last week. Never mind not winning it, but the
- 18:26Speaker 2: fact that he wasn't even in at the end, that
- 18:28Speaker 2: was a crazy part of what the week before. And
- 18:30Speaker 2: it also made I think for a more exciting race
- 18:32Speaker 2: down the stretch because he wasn't in it.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Last week.
- 18:35Speaker 5: We had a points league change as well, Denny Hamblin
- 18:39Speaker 5: one point up over Tyler Reddick. Tyler Reddick had power
- 18:43Speaker 5: steering issues, lost four laps repairing that. Denny Hamlin would
- 18:47Speaker 5: have picked up even more, but he had a host
- 18:50Speaker 5: of our situation. I will say this Bone I was
- 18:53Speaker 5: costcunked to.
- 18:55Speaker 2: I was gonna riphost of Ar a little bit this
- 18:57Speaker 2: morning because he's involved, he's a new chastain, he's involved
- 19:00Speaker 2: and everything. But it does appear Kezalowski might have hit
- 19:03Speaker 2: him from behind, which led him to get into Denny Hamlin. Plus,
- 19:07Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, Denny Hamlin gets spun like that
- 19:10Speaker 2: and loses. I think they said about that, They said
- 19:13Speaker 2: close to twenty points, maybe because he got spun out
- 19:16Speaker 2: and lost that positioning bone.
- 19:17Speaker 3: I guess I'm not gonna cry if Teddy, if we
- 19:20Speaker 3: can get Denny Hamlin spun out, I'm.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Not gonna argue with it. Mac, you weren't here last week,
- 19:25Speaker 2: and I forgot to mention it. Did Kay Adams, of
- 19:31Speaker 2: who mainly football, but she she's finally discovered NASCAR as
- 19:35Speaker 2: a thing last seme. But she was excited to go
- 19:37Speaker 2: to the race and she said she gets to meet
- 19:39Speaker 2: Carson Jotsovar last week. Then she came out later and said,
- 19:42Speaker 2: boy is he full of confidence? Did Carson Joseovar Mac
- 19:45Speaker 2: throw some game at k Adam, Because that's how I
- 19:48Speaker 2: read it.
- 19:49Speaker 5: She was a bois he full of confidence? She was
- 19:51Speaker 5: tweeted about it yesterday. She was tweeted about that she
- 19:54Speaker 5: just discovered last week NASCAR exists. That's really amazing, it
- 19:58Speaker 5: really is. And she feels like Jos R may have said, Hey,
- 20:02Speaker 5: my name's Carson.
- 20:03Speaker 3: How you doing? Huh?
- 20:04Speaker 1: How you doing.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Carson Josovar is everywhere right now, like he's mainstream. Basically,
- 20:11Speaker 2: the problem is he's got one win like I've at
- 20:14Speaker 2: some point. He'sa win a little bit more. But he's
- 20:17Speaker 2: got talent, a he's good for the sports. When we
- 20:20Speaker 2: come back on the Mac and Bone Show weekend, Potpe Marie,
- 20:23Speaker 2: we have a Golf Classic still ongoing, a tougher than
- 20:26Speaker 2: expected draw for the US, and a knocky round some
- 20:29Speaker 2: panther notes in another league has banned Sorcebe Sports Radio
- 20:34Speaker 2: ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 20:50Speaker 3: You gotta look at it.
- 20:51Speaker 4: From this point, they haven't had any value over there
- 20:55Speaker 4: in Charlotte for quite some time. Okay, now that they
- 20:58Speaker 4: finally created some value, Okay, boom, Now we got some
- 21:01Speaker 4: assets that we can kind of use to kind of
- 21:04Speaker 4: go out and get more assets, because look, these guys
- 21:07Speaker 4: are coming up for contracts. We ain't finna pay LaMelo
- 21:09Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty three hundred MS. So he got
- 21:12Speaker 4: the highest value, the real talk, he got the highest
- 21:15Speaker 4: value that he's ever had. Ye try to get out
- 21:17Speaker 4: for him, get some great competent pieces back to where
- 21:20Speaker 4: we can just build around Miller and Canipple, and I
- 21:24Speaker 4: think that's kind of what it's been now. You look
- 21:26Speaker 4: at Miles Bridges, who's coming up, he's probably he's gonna
- 21:30Speaker 4: be looking for a new contract. His who are won
- 21:32Speaker 4: thirty five forty per year over five, four or five years.
- 21:35Speaker 5: Yeah, Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. That was Joe
- 21:42Speaker 5: Johnson initially. They're discussing the Hornets basically selling, you know,
- 21:48Speaker 5: when these guys had value. LaMelo's was extension eligible to
- 21:52Speaker 5: add another two years, one hundred twenty million on there
- 21:56Speaker 5: for reference, Bridge's contract coming up twenty two point eight
- 21:59Speaker 5: million in his final year. I don't know what Shannon
- 22:02Speaker 5: Sharp is talking about the end there, that that Bridges
- 22:05Speaker 5: will be in line for like a five year deal
- 22:08Speaker 5: worth thirty four to thirty five to forty million dollars
- 22:11Speaker 5: a year.
- 22:12Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 22:13Speaker 2: I don't mag, I don't know. I don't love Shannon Charp.
- 22:16Speaker 2: I don't know if he's the guy you go to
- 22:18Speaker 2: for NBA contracts. Yeah, that was that was a little shot.
- 22:22Speaker 2: I'm not sure he's on top of the value for
- 22:24Speaker 2: Miles Bridges.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
- 22:28Speaker 2: Anyway, that's the value for Miles Bridges, then I mean,
- 22:32Speaker 2: what the hell's the value going to be for Miller
- 22:33Speaker 2: and Nipple.
- 22:34Speaker 3: Down the line.
- 22:35Speaker 5: Oh and by the way, we hadn't talked about this,
- 22:38Speaker 5: but you free up some cap money, Bone, Brandon Miller's
- 22:41Speaker 5: extension eligible for the first time in his career. You know,
- 22:44Speaker 5: maybe you go ahead and pay him, maybe you hold off,
- 22:46Speaker 5: but he could reach restrict your free agency next year.
- 22:48Speaker 5: So maybe that's part of this whole thing. I mean,
- 22:51Speaker 5: it's just it's intriguing to watch Jeff Peterson work again.
- 22:55Speaker 5: The Lamello tray was one where I'm like, I really
- 22:58Speaker 5: like to see this core together again.
- 23:00Speaker 2: And when I say this corps, I didn't mean Bridges.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I thought Bridges should have been traded this offseason. And
- 23:05Speaker 2: I have to be honest with you, man, I just
- 23:08Speaker 2: I think it's best we end the Miles Bridges era.
- 23:10Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say I don't appreciate the fact Bone
- 23:13Speaker 2: that he was the most reliable in terms of health,
- 23:18Speaker 2: the fact Bone I like that that he was very
- 23:21Speaker 2: willing to take less shots, less usage, let the young
- 23:24Speaker 2: corps emerge this past year.
- 23:26Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say that, you know, I'm not gonna
- 23:28Speaker 5: say that there weren't positives of him. But it's just
- 23:32Speaker 5: I just you know, I'm not It's it has been.
- 23:39Speaker 5: I think his games regressed. I think his athleticisms regressed.
- 23:42Speaker 5: His finishing at the rim has regressed. I heard Walker
- 23:44Speaker 5: say this on their podcast over the weekend. He was
- 23:47Speaker 5: in the set like the seventy fifth percentile finishing at
- 23:49Speaker 5: the rim about four or five years ago. It's down
- 23:52Speaker 5: to like the thirty eighth percentile. Like that explosiveness. Also,
- 23:55Speaker 5: his numbers bone, his efficiency numbers on offense went. Lamello
- 24:00Speaker 5: plays and doesn't play. He was one of the guys.
- 24:02Speaker 5: And I said it last week, LaMelo may con better
- 24:05Speaker 5: made break makes everybody better. He just draws attention and
- 24:09Speaker 5: gets the ball to guys in shooting position or gets
- 24:11Speaker 5: it to someone who then swings it to the guy
- 24:13Speaker 5: in shooting position. But Miles Bridges was heavily dependent, his
- 24:18Speaker 5: efficiency was heavily dependent.
- 24:20Speaker 3: On LaMelo ball.
- 24:21Speaker 2: He was, and let's be honest, he didn't fully fit
- 24:23Speaker 2: in the Charles Lee offense. They wanted someone that can
- 24:26Speaker 2: stretch it out consistently, a guy like check my notes
- 24:29Speaker 2: on Nase Reed from Minnesota, who could step out, stretch
- 24:33Speaker 2: the floor more consistently independable with.
- 24:36Speaker 3: The shot more than Miles.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Bridges was also Mack and you were all over this
- 24:40Speaker 2: last week and you are one thousand percent right. Mack
- 24:43Speaker 2: was right, right, second, that's my favorite song. Jeff Peterson
- 24:49Speaker 2: is not being fooled by what they did last year.
- 24:52Speaker 2: I think they were ahead of schedule. Jeff Peterson's not
- 24:55Speaker 2: playing the now game like the previous regime Mac. Previous
- 24:59Speaker 2: regimes tried to do so often. Oh look, I think
- 25:02Speaker 2: we can get back to the play in. Let's go
- 25:04Speaker 2: add this piece and bring it all back and maybe
- 25:05Speaker 2: add some more new go draft a big ten center,
- 25:08Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and see what we can do. This
- 25:10Speaker 2: regime said, yeah, we had a great year, but that's
- 25:12Speaker 2: not good enough. That's not where we want to be ultimately.
- 25:14Speaker 2: We don't want to be in the play in. We
- 25:16Speaker 2: don't want to be just in a series. We want
- 25:18Speaker 2: to be factors. So Jeff Peterson saying, you know, this
- 25:22Speaker 2: is great. We have more aspirations than just what we
- 25:26Speaker 2: did last year. So he wasn't content on what they did.
- 25:29Speaker 2: And there's something to be section with Al Jebbie, it's
- 25:30Speaker 2: the old Jim Silani a dare to be great. God
- 25:33Speaker 2: bless Jimmy, But it's the old dare to be great,
- 25:35Speaker 2: right this is they want to be great. They want
- 25:39Speaker 2: to be championship contenders, and I respect that, and they
- 25:44Speaker 2: have the assets to take big swings at some point.
- 25:47Speaker 2: We just got to figure out when it's gonna be.
- 25:49Speaker 2: And by the way, I don't think this team's Chop Liver.
- 25:52Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he's not probably not done for
- 25:54Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six twenty seven roster. But this team
- 25:57Speaker 2: right now, I don't think it's chop Liver.
- 25:59Speaker 3: No, I don't know, sir. You know, so we'll talk
- 26:03Speaker 3: all about it. Man, We got a lot to talk about.
- 26:04Speaker 5: There's also I've seen Hornets fans say this team is tanking,
- 26:09Speaker 5: and I just think that's so off base.
- 26:12Speaker 3: I just think that is so not the right word
- 26:14Speaker 3: for it.
- 26:15Speaker 2: I think they are trying to manage being good in
- 26:18Speaker 2: the here and now, but also make sure the number
- 26:23Speaker 2: one thing is when we're ready to pounce and really
- 26:26Speaker 2: go for it, we're really going to go for it.
- 26:27Speaker 2: You know, With Kobe White, Brandon Miller, and Kahn, we
- 26:31Speaker 2: think that they're they're just scratching the surface of what
- 26:36Speaker 2: we think they can be. Kobe White is a very
- 26:38Speaker 2: good league guard. You've got naseried and accomplished winner. I
- 26:42Speaker 2: think they still got to address Maybe is Is Musso
- 26:46Speaker 2: mac ultimately a guy in the Mitchell Robinson mold not
- 26:52Speaker 2: necessarily the same size, but it's he better served to
- 26:54Speaker 2: be that big off the bench that comes in and
- 26:57Speaker 2: spurts and does a lot.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Do they upgrade there, I don't know, But there's also
- 27:01Speaker 3: a lot of depth there.
- 27:03Speaker 2: The guys they just drafted, the guys they just traded for,
- 27:07Speaker 2: the guys from last year's draft class that are young. Look,
- 27:10Speaker 2: it's not gonna be the same type of team, but
- 27:12Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if the offense is may
- 27:14Speaker 2: regress a little bit, But if you don't think this
- 27:16Speaker 2: team can win and win at a decent level, then
- 27:19Speaker 2: you're fooling yourself. That's a pretty good team right there.
- 27:21Speaker 2: And they're not done yet either. The problem is the
- 27:23Speaker 2: East is getting better. East is very good and deep
- 27:26Speaker 2: right now. I mean, look, this JP's upset. He says,
- 27:29Speaker 2: you guys are delusional if you think they're gonna win
- 27:30Speaker 2: more games this year. I'm a season ticket holder. If
- 27:32Speaker 2: we go backwards and don't win as many games and
- 27:35Speaker 2: they go up on my season tickets. I'm out. No,
- 27:37Speaker 2: I don't think this team is as good. I don't
- 27:39Speaker 2: think they're gonna win as many games. But I think
- 27:42Speaker 2: it's this is not some tank either where they they're
- 27:44Speaker 2: gonna be horrible. I just don't view it that way.
- 27:47Speaker 2: But we've got We're gonna talk about this all show.
- 27:51Speaker 2: It's an interesting conversation. It's a ballsy approach. It's a
- 27:56Speaker 2: ballsy approach because what they're doing, they know is pissing
- 27:59Speaker 2: fans off. They know it, but they have a vision
- 28:02Speaker 2: longer term and they think they're going to come out
- 28:05Speaker 2: on the other side smelling like a rose. And it's
- 28:08Speaker 2: just it's ballsy because you have people like JP where
- 28:11Speaker 2: a season ticket holders are like, you just finally had
- 28:13Speaker 2: an exciting team.
- 28:14Speaker 3: I've been watching garbage. You finally had an exciting team.
- 28:17Speaker 5: You know, I want to see him go for fifty wins, Like,
- 28:19Speaker 5: I completely understand the fan frustration. So it's an interesting conversation, man,
- 28:24Speaker 5: there is no doubt about it.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Sometimes Roses really smell like boom boo boo. What does
- 28:31Speaker 3: that mean?
- 28:32Speaker 2: It's from the Outcast Roses song back in the day.
- 28:34Speaker 2: So Okay, is that good or bad or just not good?
- 28:36Speaker 2: Because it's I'm saying like, there's always a risk. So
- 28:39Speaker 2: Jeff Peterson's taking a risk here that it could turn
- 28:42Speaker 2: out bad.
- 28:42Speaker 5: But you know what, Okay, okay, because I said he's
- 28:45Speaker 5: betting that's gonna come out smelling like roses on the
- 28:47Speaker 5: other side.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, now I got you, Now, I
- 28:50Speaker 3: got you.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Hip hop Bone is a vibe hip hop bone where
- 28:52Speaker 2: he's not quite certain about the lyrics but kind of
- 28:55Speaker 2: knows him and just google them live on the air,
- 28:57Speaker 2: like it's a vibe.
- 28:58Speaker 3: Man, early Bone is a vibe.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Dare I say early two thousands Bone was a wagon,
- 29:04Speaker 2: just a cultural wagon.
- 29:06Speaker 5: Oh man, All right, let's hit it on a few
- 29:08Speaker 5: things real quick here. But obviously the milesbridges trade, the
- 29:11Speaker 5: direction of the franchise, what exactly is Jeff Peterson doing?
- 29:15Speaker 5: How do fans feel about it? All those things are
- 29:19Speaker 5: the main theme of the show. There's absolutely no doubt
- 29:21Speaker 5: about it. But let's talk about some other things here, Bone.
- 29:25Speaker 5: How about the golf yesterday? I found a real shortage.
- 29:30Speaker 5: There's only one World Cup game that kind of upset me.
- 29:33Speaker 5: So that ended the race was going on I needed something.
- 29:36Speaker 5: On the second TV, I'm like, Holy Craplin man, Scottie
- 29:39Speaker 5: Scheffler's right there. There's a bunch of big names right
- 29:43Speaker 5: up there on the leaderboard. Mori Kawa shot a sixty one.
- 29:47Speaker 5: Hovlin was there, and the Norwegian fans were going crazy.
- 29:50Speaker 5: So I was watching that. Then we had the big
- 29:53Speaker 5: rain delay weather delay, and then they did something amazing
- 29:57Speaker 5: which I really enjoyed. They preempted the Yankees Red Sox game.
- 30:03Speaker 5: I wish they would have just canceled the game outright.
- 30:06Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, I wish they would have
- 30:07Speaker 5: handled the series outright, rough series for smelling like Boo boo.
- 30:11Speaker 2: But they put that to Peacock, which I love. And
- 30:13Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I don't know how much you watched
- 30:15Speaker 2: of it.
- 30:15Speaker 5: Bone.
- 30:16Speaker 2: It was like a ryder cup that atmosphere between the
- 30:19Speaker 2: Norwegian fans going crazy for Hovelin and the American fans
- 30:23Speaker 2: USA chance for Scheffler, and Scheffler needed.
- 30:26Speaker 5: To hit an eight foot putt. I mean, he hit
- 30:29Speaker 5: about three par savers down the stretch, but he ended
- 30:33Speaker 5: an eight foot par putt and he actually showed emotion.
- 30:37Speaker 5: He had a tiger fist pump when he hit it,
- 30:39Speaker 5: he walked it in, did a tiger fist pump to
- 30:42Speaker 5: reach the playoff. So it's him and Hovelin, it's USA Norway.
- 30:47Speaker 5: I don't know if the Rowers are back at some point.
- 30:48Speaker 5: They probably got to get to the next Norway soccer game,
- 30:51Speaker 5: which is coming up I think tomorrow. But like that was,
- 30:55Speaker 5: that was good emotional stuff yesterday, and they will play
- 30:59Speaker 5: this death playoff today at the Travelers up in Boston
- 31:02Speaker 5: at nine o'clock today.
- 31:04Speaker 2: I knew it. I knew it was going on. I
- 31:06Speaker 2: knew it was chaotic from what I was seeing. I
- 31:09Speaker 2: did not get a chance to see a lot of
- 31:11Speaker 2: it because I was in Nibblefest twenty six with my
- 31:15Speaker 2: new puppy, Murphy.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Congratulations Murphy, big move.
- 31:19Speaker 2: Murphy McNugget esquire has arrived. And uh, he's one years old,
- 31:24Speaker 2: the complete opposite of my previous dog, Mabel, who was
- 31:28Speaker 2: two hundred years old. I didn't have to coach Mabel
- 31:31Speaker 2: up a whole lot. Not a lot of coaching went
- 31:32Speaker 2: on there. It was just show up to the ballpark.
- 31:34Speaker 2: We win a lot of games. Murphy is young in everything.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Do you ever have a young dog or kids? I
- 31:44Speaker 2: had to wear ovenmits yesterday. That so the nibbley wouldn't
- 31:47Speaker 2: tear my arm apart. So he left the bi He
- 31:50Speaker 2: goes to these stretches. I call it nibblefest. And that
- 31:52Speaker 2: was during the golf yesterday. So I was definitely I
- 31:56Speaker 2: was physically and mentally beaten down by by a part
- 32:00Speaker 2: pit bull par terrier. Yes, God, yeah, bet your love
- 32:02Speaker 2: for Mabel just went up. You didn't realize how easy
- 32:04Speaker 2: you had it. We're gonna have to wave the five
- 32:07Speaker 2: year rule and just put Mabel in the Hall of fame.

- 32:18Speaker 2: just you trade you. You acquired the consummate veteran, and
- 32:21Speaker 2: now you've acquired t Jan Salon.
- 32:24Speaker 3: That's basically what's happening.
- 32:25Speaker 2: I had Al Horford, who I didn't have to worry about,
- 32:27Speaker 2: showed up, played ball, never complained this guy every every
- 32:32Speaker 2: minute and a half. No, no, don't do that, No,
- 32:34Speaker 2: what's not hey, No, no, no, no, no. Last night

- 32:40Speaker 2: this guy could sleep. We got that going for us there.
- 32:43Speaker 2: Last night, about midnight or so, I heard some wrestling
- 32:46Speaker 2: going on, and it was him versus pillowcase and it
- 32:49Speaker 2: was mine and he was trying to er take my
- 32:52Speaker 2: pillow case off of the pillow I was on. So
- 32:54Speaker 2: then he got He got put in the crate last
- 32:56Speaker 2: night for the first I mean, I didn't even know
- 32:57Speaker 2: what to do. He's adorable though, that little face ahead,
- 33:00Speaker 2: it's very adorable. Though, here's a chance he's a con man.
- 33:05Speaker 3: Oh god, I can't.
- 33:06Speaker 2: So we're gonna get Bone jumped into stories. This is
- 33:09Speaker 2: great Saturday. First time I showered with this fella in
- 33:12Speaker 2: the house. I thought he would just hang out by

- 33:15Speaker 3: Shower with me.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Oh yes, we're gonna get so manyiggas he saw me

- 33:25Speaker 2: Hipp There'll be joy there, Bone, there would be joy there.
- 33:27Speaker 2: But you will be testing. Your patients will be testing.
- 33:29Speaker 2: I got whooped out the line of scrimmage on both sides.
- 33:33Speaker 2: All right, Well, we gotta talk more about this later
- 33:35Speaker 2: later on this show. We gotta let like eight o
- 33:36Speaker 2: clockers or somebody here about this as well. His name
- 33:39Speaker 2: when I when I got hup, his name was actually
- 33:41Speaker 2: not my call. His name was McNugget, So I made
- 33:44Speaker 2: that his middle name, and made his first name Murphy
- 33:47Speaker 2: Murphy McNugget and has an honored to Mabel like the
- 33:50Speaker 2: start of his name.
- 33:51Speaker 5: Okay, all right, I like that McNuggets. Mcnugget's a funny
- 33:54Speaker 5: name too. He looks like a little McNugget. I don't
- 33:57Speaker 5: know what that means.
- 33:58Speaker 2: That's why they that's why they named him. Said, I'm
- 34:00Speaker 2: nugget shaped, which I think that's Oh did you tell
- 34:04Speaker 2: me before the show about that Fitty's also m nugget
- 34:06Speaker 2: shaped or did I make Oh no.
- 34:08Speaker 5: Believe you might have went with that one, but I
- 34:09Speaker 5: could say I could definitely see it. Zach Calzada forer Heisman.
- 34:13Speaker 5: We gotta get this guy a new name, don't we?
- 34:15Speaker 5: He says, I have a pit pull and a new team,
- 34:17Speaker 5: have a pit terrier.
- 34:19Speaker 3: Good luck. So there you go. So this is gonna
- 34:22Speaker 3: a man. He's gonna be so many good stories.
- 34:25Speaker 2: You're excited because if just got a little tougher for
- 34:28Speaker 2: coach bone here.
- 34:29Speaker 5: Yeah, this is going You're gonna have good stories of
- 34:31Speaker 5: just Shenanigan's happening.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Compared me to Frank right today last twelve weeks. That
- 34:40Speaker 3: could be tough. That could be tough.
- 34:41Speaker 5: All right, Shoot, we we hadn't talked about anything else.
- 34:44Speaker 5: All we talked about is golf and the damn a
- 34:46Speaker 5: uh new dog, Murphy. Do you want to mention Bone
- 34:50Speaker 5: that when we last left you on Friday, I honestly
- 34:54Speaker 5: thought that the U. We knew the US was playing
- 34:57Speaker 5: Bossie and Herzegovina Wednesday, right in the round of thirty two.
- 35:01Speaker 5: But I honestly thought that Egypt was gonna win Group
- 35:04Speaker 5: G and that Egypt was going to be in that
- 35:08Speaker 5: spot where if they won, they would play the US.
- 35:11Speaker 5: And I was talking about that is good fortune, because
- 35:16Speaker 5: Belgium's got world class talent, even if it hasn't played
- 35:19Speaker 5: great this World Cup. Well, something happened late on Friday
- 35:23Speaker 5: night our time. Belgium went five to one on New
- 35:27Speaker 5: Zealand and Egypt tied Iran. Belgium won that group. So
- 35:32Speaker 5: now we're back to what we thought at the Star
- 35:34Speaker 5: of the World Cup that if we win our group,
- 35:37Speaker 5: it very likely could be Belgium in the second round,
- 35:42Speaker 5: the round of sixteen. So that's where we're at now.
- 35:44Speaker 5: So I don't know if that's ideal, Bone, They would
- 35:47Speaker 5: have been favored over Egypt. It'd be interesting to see.
- 35:49Speaker 5: I would think Belgium would be favored over the US.
- 35:52Speaker 5: But in fairness, I think the US has played better
- 35:55Speaker 5: than Belgium in this World Cup, and Belgium's got some
- 35:58Speaker 5: aging studs in their more that haven't necessarily been playing
- 36:01Speaker 5: great unless they're playing New Zealand, one of the more
- 36:03Speaker 5: disappointing teams until the end there. Now they played Wednesday,
- 36:09Speaker 5: coming up here at four against Senegal. There's so many
- 36:12Speaker 5: great matchups in this that's Yeah, it's not a gimme that.
- 36:16Speaker 5: I don't know, the way they played early in this tournament.
- 36:18Speaker 5: Senegal had a kind of a tough draw there for themselves,
- 36:20Speaker 5: but that's gonna be a toss up game.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, that's not a gimme. That's definitely not a gimmey,
- 36:27Speaker 2: And that's a good point there to make. Just some
- 36:29Speaker 2: great matchups coming up.
- 36:30Speaker 5: Belgium did route US five to one in a friendly
- 36:34Speaker 5: what back in March, so that does need to be
- 36:37Speaker 5: said as well. Yeah, I think two of the best
- 36:40Speaker 5: matchups in a whole round of thirty two or today
- 36:43Speaker 5: one o'clock Brazil Japan. Japan beat Brazil recently, and then
- 36:47Speaker 5: you have Netherlands of Morocco, which is an amazing matchup.
- 36:51Speaker 5: That's the late game tonight. Germany Paraguay. Also play man.
- 36:56Speaker 5: We got all kinds of stuff happened, all kind of
- 36:57Speaker 5: stuff happened, but obviously the bridge just trade. What the
- 37:01Speaker 5: heck kind of meal is Chef Jeff Cook And those
- 37:04Speaker 5: are the things that we'll talk about a ton today.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Absolutely come back it Sounds of the weekend. Brandon Ayuk
- 37:10Speaker 2: has another wild video drop that must be discussed. Mina
- 37:15Speaker 2: Kinnes with some love for the Panthers defense, and we
- 37:18Speaker 2: have the latest contract offer to the coach of the
- 37:21Speaker 2: US men's national team. Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 37:46Speaker 5: Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ back and Bone
- 37:50Speaker 5: with you. We got to give you some sounds of
- 37:52Speaker 5: the weekend, and we got some doozies here, some awesome
- 37:55Speaker 5: praise for the Panthers defense. We've got the latest on
- 38:00Speaker 5: a story that broke over the weekend, Bone that Mauricio
- 38:03Speaker 5: Pacchettino has been in I guess, as the story put it,
- 38:07Speaker 5: positive talks with the US men's national team about an
- 38:11Speaker 5: extension through another World Cup cycle. I gotta be honest
- 38:16Speaker 5: with you, it was looking for a while there, like
- 38:17Speaker 5: it was inevitably he was leaving. He's been courted by
- 38:20Speaker 5: European clubs, but the club people thought that he may
- 38:23Speaker 5: end up going to was hired another coach, Ac Milan
- 38:25Speaker 5: Chris ironically Christian pilistics team in Italy. So we'll get
- 38:29Speaker 5: into all that stuff. Let's start, though, with something we
- 38:32Speaker 5: really have kind of ignored on this show. I mean
- 38:34Speaker 5: maybe a comment here or there, Brandon, I you it's
- 38:40Speaker 5: just gone berserk. Oh yeah, that guy on these daily videos.
- 38:45Speaker 5: It feels daily now he has gone berserk with these videos.
- 38:49Speaker 5: These videos are unhinged. Bone and I have to be
- 38:53Speaker 5: honest with you. I don't even really remember what happened
- 38:56Speaker 5: between him and the Niners. I just know he has
- 38:58Speaker 5: not played football in forever. It's such a weird timeline.
- 39:02Speaker 5: Guy drafted in the first round, a little bit of
- 39:05Speaker 5: a slow start, comes on like a house of fire.
- 39:08Speaker 5: Regarded as maybe the best route runner in football. I
- 39:11Speaker 5: think he had a was it a thirteen hundred yard season?
- 39:14Speaker 5: I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood, just an
- 39:16Speaker 5: unreal season. Then the next year he has the knee
- 39:21Speaker 5: injury and then he's just gone. He misses the rest
- 39:23Speaker 5: of that year. And then last year, Mackett was a
- 39:26Speaker 5: weird like he was just forgotten about. No one even
- 39:29Speaker 5: mentioned him. He was I guess he was injured. I
- 39:31Speaker 5: don't even know what's.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Even transpired there for a guy that was on pace
- 39:35Speaker 2: to end up being one of the better whiteouts in football.
- 39:37Speaker 2: He got injured and that's it. He hasn't done anything.
- 39:40Speaker 2: It's kind of a It does remind me a little
- 39:43Speaker 2: bit of although he was more productive for longer when
- 39:46Speaker 2: Michael Thomas was still a saint and we kind of
- 39:48Speaker 2: forgot he existed for a while, he kept getting injured
- 39:51Speaker 2: and no one talked about him. He just not even
- 39:53Speaker 2: mac to be that productive as a wide out. And
- 39:55Speaker 2: no one has acquired you yet, you're you got some
- 39:59Speaker 2: things going on there, when the videos will show you
- 40:01Speaker 2: that he's got some things going on. We're getting ready
- 40:03Speaker 2: to play one for you in a second. I mean
- 40:05Speaker 2: they thought over voided, you know, guaranteed money. I mean,
- 40:08Speaker 2: he was not injured last year and wasn't playing.
- 40:12Speaker 5: I get miss rehab sessions, and he has publicly declared
- 40:18Speaker 5: I will never step foot in that team's facility.
- 40:20Speaker 3: Again.
- 40:21Speaker 5: And then another weird part of it is he just
- 40:24Speaker 5: openly tells everybody I want to play for the Commanders.
- 40:27Speaker 5: His former college teammate, Jade and Daniels is the quarterback there,
- 40:30Speaker 5: so he's just openly for weeks now he's been telling
- 40:32Speaker 5: everybody I want to play. He was holding a football
- 40:34Speaker 5: the Commander's logo during this video, So anyway, listen to this.
- 40:37Speaker 5: This is him talking about a visit that John Lynch
- 40:41Speaker 5: made the GM of the Niners to his house, and
- 40:45Speaker 5: just listen to his description.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Of this general manager going to pull it to my house.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Oh weirdo, Like, bro, don't pull it to my house uninvited. Boy,
- 40:57Speaker 1: thanks safe, But I knew his as gonna do it.
- 41:00Speaker 1: So I'm looking at my camera, my front door camera,
- 41:03Speaker 1: see a big old white boy, white man, former NFL safety,
- 41:11Speaker 1: and I'm like, all hell no, And I know my
- 41:13Speaker 1: wife is about to be back home soon, so I
- 41:16Speaker 1: have to call my wife and say, uh, it's a
- 41:20Speaker 1: big ass white man at the house. I don't know
- 41:23Speaker 1: what he's doing over there. He was not invited.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Creepy.
- 41:27Speaker 1: So if you on your way to home, just probably
- 41:30Speaker 1: just spend the block a few times because I don't.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Know what bro on weird.
- 41:34Speaker 2: That's the guy that drafted you and gave you a
- 41:37Speaker 2: huge contract. Did you just act like he's selling like
- 41:40Speaker 2: he's a nineteen eighty nine selling encyclopedias.
- 41:42Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, creepy. Anyway, it was Britannic Cuts whatever
- 41:48Speaker 5: they were called back. It was a real weird video.
- 41:50Speaker 5: On Saturday, he talked to Rip Kyle Shanahan. I mean,
- 41:53Speaker 5: he again openly told you that he will play for
- 41:57Speaker 5: the Commander someday. I mean, it's just a wild saga.
- 42:00Speaker 5: They don't want to release him. They probably don't want
- 42:02Speaker 5: to give him what he wants. So anyway, that's messy, man.
- 42:04Speaker 2: That's thirteen as hell, thirteen forty two yards in twenty
- 42:08Speaker 2: twenty three, three seventy four since then since he got paid.
- 42:12Speaker 5: Yeah, and then the injuries and then I guess he
- 42:14Speaker 5: was not attending rehab sessions after the big knee injury,
- 42:18Speaker 5: so the team got mad at him, and then last
- 42:21Speaker 5: year they or I guess, at the end of twenty
- 42:23Speaker 5: twenty four, I think he was put on the reserve,
- 42:26Speaker 5: left the team list. He hadn't been back since we're
- 42:29Speaker 5: talking to season plus. So anyway, that's that's a soap
- 42:33Speaker 5: opera that while we wait for football, I have a
- 42:36Speaker 5: feeling bone. His videos are not stopping. I have a feeling,
- 42:39Speaker 5: all right, So let's go to the Panthers praise, shall we?
- 42:44Speaker 5: I love this bone. This is my favorite thing. That
- 42:46Speaker 5: might be one of my favorite things in lifebone. You know,
- 42:49Speaker 5: maybe a you know bone in Ribby steak and a
- 42:55Speaker 5: and Panthers praise. Maybe those are two of my Oh
- 42:58Speaker 5: my family. I love my family too, all right, those
- 43:00Speaker 5: things I like the most. Proud about that for a second.
- 43:04Speaker 5: This is Mina Comes. She recently did a show ranking
- 43:07Speaker 5: the top ten defenses in the NFL. Panthers didn't make it,
- 43:10Speaker 5: but she says they're awful close.
- 43:13Speaker 6: Carolina.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Look, I'm so enticed by this Deve.
- 43:16Speaker 6: I was so close to putting them in the top
- 43:18Speaker 6: ten because they have top ten players at premium positions
- 43:24Speaker 6: Derek Brown, Jalen Phillips, Devin Lloyd, J C. Horn, and
- 43:28Speaker 6: Mike Jackson.
- 43:29Speaker 3: Like that, altholl is enough.
- 43:32Speaker 6: I have questions about a lot of the other positions.
- 43:34Speaker 6: Safety Nickel, it feels like, okay, like let's see if
- 43:39Speaker 6: those players can kind of elevate everyone else. Nick Gorton,
- 43:43Speaker 6: I think showed promise next year. Now he gets to
- 43:46Speaker 6: run rush opposite Phillips. So like that's a great example.
- 43:49Speaker 6: Like if Phillips's presence suddenly elevates Gorton and makes he
- 43:53Speaker 6: creates opportunities for Derek Brown. It's so easy for me
- 43:55Speaker 6: to imagine this defense, especially with those corners being really good.
- 43:59Speaker 6: But it is so hypothetical at this point.
- 44:02Speaker 3: That's why she wouldn't go top ten. But she flirted
- 44:05Speaker 3: with it. But she was right there with it.
- 44:06Speaker 2: She flirted with it, like Joseph I was just gonna
- 44:09Speaker 2: say the same thing. Mag Would you say that we've
- 44:13Speaker 2: talked a lot about Jonathan Brooks as the X factor
- 44:16Speaker 2: on offense of what level can he take this offense too?
- 44:19Speaker 2: Would you say that there's a lot of scrting on
- 44:21Speaker 2: the defensive sidelight Brooks, that if Scorton makes a leap
- 44:26Speaker 2: in the year too, it compliments all the higher paid
- 44:30Speaker 2: VET guys like Derek Brown and Phillips and the lineback.
- 44:33Speaker 2: If Nick scoring makes that leap to ultra productive player,
- 44:37Speaker 2: that to me is sort of like the Brooks of
- 44:38Speaker 2: the defense. He can take them to a whole other
- 44:41Speaker 2: level himself.
- 44:42Speaker 5: Oh yeah, And her point is what I've been making
- 44:44Speaker 5: all summer is you know, a guy like Phillips is
- 44:47Speaker 5: gonna make it easier for those around him, including Nick
- 44:49Speaker 5: Gorton on the other side, I can't imagine Nick Gorton
- 44:53Speaker 5: is going to be double team very often. And he
- 44:56Speaker 5: had five sacks last year and it's just getting started.
- 44:58Speaker 3: Man.
- 44:58Speaker 2: So if he is not better this year and I'm
- 45:01Speaker 2: better next year, I'd be very surprised. Plus, you know
- 45:04Speaker 2: he's working his butt off as well. You know, he
- 45:07Speaker 2: is a dog and a dude that's gonna put the
- 45:09Speaker 2: work in man. So yeah, I just I think great
- 45:12Speaker 2: things are ahead for him and this defense.
- 45:14Speaker 4: Man.
- 45:14Speaker 3: I have a question of the audience for you in
- 45:16Speaker 3: regards to Brandon Ayuk. You ready for this one? Yeah?
- 45:19Speaker 3: What's that? Could the Panthers playing at tight end?
- 45:24Speaker 5: That video, by the way, I was waiting for someone
- 45:27Speaker 5: to suggest that we acquire Brandon. Now you that video
- 45:31Speaker 5: is so Craig crag that not even a Panther fan
- 45:34Speaker 5: and we are some you know outside player addition, coven
- 45:37Speaker 5: in fools, no one Panther fan exit said.
- 45:40Speaker 3: Dude, he's a great talent. Let's go ahead. They're like,
- 45:42Speaker 3: no way, no way, no what we're.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Getting on Brandon I you he'd say, who's this big
- 45:48Speaker 2: ass white guy called me?
- 45:50Speaker 3: Yeah, if he thought Lynch was big, what do you
- 45:51Speaker 3: think of?
- 45:52Speaker 5: More what we're getting on the text line of by
- 45:54Speaker 5: iucause a lot of Antonio Brown comparisons. Someone also said
- 45:59Speaker 5: did he go to full too and start doing sit
- 46:01Speaker 5: ups in his driveway as well? Yes, this is in
- 46:05Speaker 5: that neighborhood of crazy wide receiver behavior. All right, real quick,
- 46:09Speaker 5: we got to get you this thing on Pachettina. I'm intrigued.
- 46:12Speaker 5: I'm intrigued Bone by the fact that there have been
- 46:14Speaker 5: some talks about him getting another World Cup cycle through
- 46:20Speaker 5: twenty thirty, especially with the way things have gone so far,
- 46:22Speaker 5: although the World Cup not exactly done, so we'll see
- 46:25Speaker 5: how it finishes. But this is Tom Bogert from the
- 46:28Speaker 5: Athletic This is him saying that the talks base the
- 46:32Speaker 5: contract offered that was extended to him, was extended Bone
- 46:35Speaker 5: even before the World Cup started.
- 46:37Speaker 7: This entire era is what is supposed to do with
- 46:40Speaker 7: the team at the World Cup. Cares about friendly just
- 46:41Speaker 7: cares about everything else. So in one hand, it is
- 46:44Speaker 7: a little bit odd to potentially tie yourself to a
- 46:46Speaker 7: coach before knowing what he does at the World Cup.
- 46:48Speaker 7: But on the other hand, its it'd be a little
- 46:51Speaker 7: odd to go into the World Cup with no kind
- 46:53Speaker 7: of even hope for the future or idea for the future,
- 46:56Speaker 7: so even for the players and team building, and not
- 47:01Speaker 7: undermine Pochattino's authority. But he's the kind of guy that
- 47:03Speaker 7: I don't think you'd.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Have to worry about that. But all that is to
- 47:05Speaker 3: say is this offer was.
- 47:07Speaker 7: Made before the World Cup, and I kind of want
- 47:08Speaker 7: to be clear about that. Sources have told me and
- 47:11Speaker 7: they've agreed to like, let's revisit it after the World Cup. Pochettino,
- 47:15Speaker 7: we all expect that he's going to be coaching a
- 47:16Speaker 7: European team at some point in the near future. I
- 47:19Speaker 7: don't know what offers he I don't know what options
- 47:21Speaker 7: he has right So if you're Pochettino, the worst thing
- 47:24Speaker 7: in the world wouldn't be to be the US M
- 47:26Speaker 7: and T head coach getting paid a very handsome salary
- 47:29Speaker 7: while having maybe there's a buyout that they could have
- 47:32Speaker 7: in this contract. So I'm very, very curious to see
- 47:35Speaker 7: where this will all end up. But there shouldn't be
- 47:37Speaker 7: more updates until after the World Cup.
- 47:38Speaker 2: Mac A question for you, as a soccer guy that
- 47:41Speaker 2: follows these things much more closely a year round, what
- 47:45Speaker 2: do you think makes him work successfully as the coach.
- 47:48Speaker 3: Of the US.
- 47:49Speaker 5: What is he just a great coach? He's just a
- 47:51Speaker 5: world class coach. I mean that dude, that dude one
- 47:57Speaker 5: significantly with spurs.
- 47:58Speaker 3: Who does that? Not a lot of folks, Matt, not
- 48:02Speaker 3: a lot of folks.
- 48:02Speaker 5: Still didn't want a trophy though, But anyway, I digress.
- 48:04Speaker 5: That was for really pe out there. If he happens
- 48:07Speaker 5: to stumble upon this first hour of the show, but
- 48:09Speaker 5: he's just a world calls to you, he'll stumble on it.
- 48:13Speaker 2: And we've got talent there, man, We've got talent. But
- 48:16Speaker 2: I just want to say this. He mentioned a buyout,
- 48:19Speaker 2: signing him to a deal and putting a buy out
