  Speaker 5: tent shopping at the six hundred. I walked through the

  Speaker 5: tents supposedly. Don't remember anything about my time across the

  Speaker 1: look like over there.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Well, you will be able to tell that I'm a
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: Carolina fan once I take the Carolina hat off, though, right,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: nothing else about my entire.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Shirt, the shirt and the shiites. Oh my god, Wait

  Speaker 1: that's but you know what, that's perfect though, that's you, Fitty.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: You be you over there today? Baby, you be you? Yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so that should be interesting. And you get the duke
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: side of the Darien mensa thing. Today you get to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: hear from Manny D as I Manny D has a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: class act and I'm sure you're not going to get
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: any sour grapes. And he's had a lot of time
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: obviously to process this, so I don't know if I'd
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: expect much fireworks from Manny, but we'll hear from him today.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And Jake Dickard what a great season last year is.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But we're all back to just expecting not much from
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Wake again, so we'll see if Dicker can overachieve again
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: this season. He'll be speaking as well. Final day of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: ACC media days. God, I need video of Roman around
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with the objective media in his heels gear. Oh this
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is beautiful. All right. We gotta update the British Open, everybody.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: All right. If you're over there in England, you would
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: call it the Open Championships, but I will call it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the British Open again out of stubbornness. Lucas Herbert. Lucas
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Herbert right now is your leader in round two and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: five under. At four under you have Jackson super who
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: was the leader in his first Open Championship. There I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: went and did it. After round one he has dropped
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a shot he's a shot back. And a bunch of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: dudes I've never heard from heard of Fitty really, Matt Wallace, Seawan, Norris, Pierce, Pierson,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Goodie and Bud Gully are all tied at four under.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Those are guys that are out there on the course.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: A lot of the big names that played in the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: morning yesterday played early yesterday, we'll play later today. We're
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: talking about Bryce and de'shamble with three under. Scotti Scheffler
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: who ended up two under yesterday, and honestly, I mean,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: he's right there in the mix, but I think he
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: might be a little disappointed he didn't get more out
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of it. And then you had Rory McElroy, who put
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: on one of the worst putting exhibitions since the last
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: time that I went mini golfing with the McClain family
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and had finished somehow in like third place. Ry, did
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you see Rory yesterday? Three putts missed inside four feet.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: It was brutal.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's quote not what you want, Mac.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: He's one over or he's won under through three to
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: get to one over for the championship. Two things, I
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: feel like Bud Cawley should be playing linebacker in the
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: sec not playing golf overseason the Open Championship, but Mac
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: this is how the Open always is, right, Like I
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: think of all the four majors, I think Day one
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: at the Open is the most random, where you have
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: some names that come completely out of nowhere to have
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: an eight seen whole lead. Maybe it carries over into
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: a thirty six hole lead going into going into the weekend.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: I do think by the time this is all said
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: and done, though, we're gonna have the big names up there,
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Scotty de Shamba, Cameron Yong looked like he's having a
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: bounce back tournament and then and that's gonna be my
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: hope is that when I wake up tomorrow and I'm
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: settling in for a day on the couch watching sports,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: We're getting to watch all the all the big guns
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: try to try to try to chase some a major championship.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: So you know what it is, it's all these international
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: guys that we don't know because it's such an international field.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Although there's some Americans on there, I don't know. By
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the way, apologies to Bud, his last day is not
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: call it. We've got to clean up at one already.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I messed that up it's O A U L E y.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: How would you even pronounce that? Oh oly, oh oly?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how you pronounced that one. And
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to your point, I'm not sure I'll have to pronounce
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that one on Monday, you know.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Mac, that's a C, man, it is a C.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, we'll see here? Is that a C? What is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: wrong with my eyes? Clean up by one again? Re
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: clean it. I didn't have to clean it the first time,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and now we got to clean it. How is that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a C? That is a very close sea on the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: on the website here? All right? Anyway, my eyes are horrible, Fitty.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I might have to not do reading on the air anymore.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I might have totally what are you laughing about over there?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I might have to leave the reading to you guys
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: on the air. This is horrible.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: I figured your eyes would be ready to go this morning.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: You came into the side studio. You asked to bar
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: the Phil Steel magazine.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That's why my eyes strained so much to read that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Phil Steel magazine. I don't think they have anything left, Fitty,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: do you know what's sad?
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Smoke came in yesterday and saw that I had my
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: magazine laying out beside the computer and the in the
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: production room and smoke's what twenty seven twenty eight and
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: he has the same thought that you have that even
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: I had.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I couldn't even read hafter Creat's tighty.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: So imagine me AF fifty two. My eyes been going
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: bad for years now, Fitty, my eyes are working so badly.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: After reading that Phil Steel this morning, I looked in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the mirror and thought I was handsome. I mean, that's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: how bad my eyes are working. I apologize. I should
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: have just left in it. I should have just left
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it and who the ELL's Bud Cully? Instead? I said,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: who the ELL's Bud Cully? Then I thought he had
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a different name, and then it turned out it was
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Bud Cully. Anyway, have we lost every listener that we're
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: gonna have today after this? Or are you just laughing
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: at my ineptitude? All right, let's hit some other things here.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Let's move along and forget that ever happened. So you
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: have the final game tonight against the Kings for the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Hornet Summer League team. We'll see who ends up playing.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I mean you, I think it's pretty obvious McNeely, Sion
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and Kalk Brenner will not play they didn't play the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: other night. I think it's probably valuable to play both
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the rookies another night, and that's kind of what I'm
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: hoping for t Jon. Does t Jon get a night
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: off in year three or does this dude have the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: shame of having to play every Summer league game in
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: his third year there? That'll be an interesting thing tonight.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I want to mention this is kind of cool. Good
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: experience for these boys. Hannes Steinbach and Christian Anderson both
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: have been called up to the German national team. This
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: is a big team, right. They've played together at the like,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you know, younger levels, but this is the big squad
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and they've got events going on over the summer. So
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a good experience for both those boys. So that's the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff if you're a Hornets fan, I think
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you want to see your rookies do stuff like that
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and play international basketball. So I kind of like that.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Plus more familiarity. You know, they already know each other
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: so well, but more time of those guys playing together
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I think also helps our purposes. I did want to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: mention because we don't know where the heck the Hornets
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: are going to be on TV this year, and I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: know we got a ways to go, but there's starting
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to be some stuff written about this over the last
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: couple of days. The Hornets are one of the thirteen
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: teams that were on the regional sports networks, all the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: different FANDEL networks, FANDOL Network going bye bye, and many
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: people are celebrating that. The problem is now we've got
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, where are the Hornets going to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: be this coming season? And there are two entities that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: have been written about here basically what the NBA wants
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to do for this coming season. It sounds like Fitty
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: is have a hub of all these teams and their
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: local coverage of them, and YouTube has been mentioned. YouTube
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: tv has been mentioned as a possibility, and then Jimmy Pittarro,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and executive at ESPN had mentioned they're interested in maybe
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: being the hub for the local broadcasts of these Now.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it'll work, like with YouTube TV.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you would have to then get
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a subscription, or if it would be like something extra
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: like the Sunday ticket is. Hopefully it would be where
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you just buy that. If not, I have to switch completely.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I just the ESPN thing. I already get the ESPN
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: app Will this be included in that? So there's a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: lot of questions, and then there's the hope. I think
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of fans have this. Could a local channel
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: just pick the games up, you know, one of the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: over the air channels or whatever. I don't know this
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is I don't know. I think everybody's glad. I think
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: most people are glad Fandel's gone. But it might it
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: still might not be the most convenient thing in the world.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Well, because it impacts us here locally with the Hornets.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: I saw some dude Jeshua are and we're still a
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: few months away from the hockey season.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Getting underweight.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Impacts the Canes as well, because the Canes were a
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: fandual property.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: And I saw my guy a birdberry.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Gary was asking, is there any intel of where we
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: think the games.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Are going to end up?
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: That's a very good point. Now that caneac mac might
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: actually watch a couple regular season games, including the opener
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: against the Panthers.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: How about that five o'clock is when the the puck
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: drops on champion banner.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: A lot of Canes fans aren't happy.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It is weird that they got the five o'clock. You
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: figure that game could get the eight o'clock in the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Triple Hunter, you would think. But I digress. But yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that's a good point about the Canes too. The Braves.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: We know that's been settled right with the Braves vision
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and that is on I have DirecTV stream that's on there.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just this TV thing. See, here's what
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: is annoying as a sports fan. And like at the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: thing with a lot of a lot of y'all probably
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: say out a hell with it, you know, Like I'm
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: sure a lot of people did not change, do you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to make sure they FanDuel for the Hornets. But in
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: our line of work, like we have to have this stuff.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: We have to. And again I'm not I don't want
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: anybody to act like ma's on here. Why mac is
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: talk about sports for our limnaies. Why I don't want
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you to think that, Like it's just a part of
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: our job, so we kind of have to see everything.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: But it's just for sports fans in general, it really
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: is annoying the amount of different things you need to get.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying Cable wasn't annoying in a lot of ways,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: but it really is a pain in the rear end
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: for sports fans. It's like, okay, but I don't get
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: that now, so I gotta go pay for that. It's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: it's crazy man.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Before uh football fit, he made his grand return. Like,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: I pay for Peacock, which is one of the more
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: cheaper like monthlies.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So scription definitely one of the cheapest.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: But I simply have it mac for when the Big
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Ten decide to put those random games on on Peacock
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: as opposed to over the air on NBC during both
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: football and basketball season.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll maximize it more now in about a month
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: and a half or so, when the Premier League returns.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: If you're never just watching the Toffees play at ten
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: o'clock every Saturday.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Morning, if you're an Everton fan, you better have Peacock
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: because they go be on there. They might get like
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: two over the air games.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: You're right, mind. My mama's always a that why I.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Have so many different apps which she has access to,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: like I pay for her to have access to them,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: but she wants why you gotta have this, and I'm like, well,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: because this is where that goes, and it does. It's
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: easy for me to navigate it, like I just know
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: where to go. But for these people that maybe aren't
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: savvy with the technology, I could see where they're like
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: the hell with this os wait til it comes back
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: on Fox, CBS or NBC.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And also you have people, like most normal sports fans
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: out there, like a lot of it is just that
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: they're not obsessing over everything, like we've got to know
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: where all this stuff is because we have to be
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: able to access it. But it's like I just imagine
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: fans that are like casual sport, you're casual viewers of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, that's over there. I mean, man, it'll
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: make your head hurt. But anyway, that's that we're waiting
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: on details. And that's a good point. On the canes,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: on where the canes will be, and then where the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: hornets will be, and you know, it's it could be
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a pain for a lot of us I did want
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to mention this soccer fitty can appreciate this. Yesterday I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: made a comment that it just seems inevitable to me
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: that Mauricio Pochettino will leave the US men's national team.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: He is a guy that is a big time manager
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: across the world, and it just feels inevitable that he'll
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: end up coaching a European club at some point. There's
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a report out there that they are in talks. Pac
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and the US are in talks about a new deal. Now,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the only thing I would worry about with this because
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I want him back. The only thing I would worry
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: about with this, though, Fitty, is that you have a
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: long four year World Cup cycle, and that's a lot
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: of times for clubs in Europe to approach him, you
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I would worry about getting
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: a year or two into the cycle and Pochettino gets
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: lured away by a EuroClub and all of a sudden
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: we have to scramble for a coach again in the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: middle of the cycle, like we did when we went
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: to him, you know.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Which is why they would probably Mac And now you
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: can maybe give me some insight on how.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Rare this is. They'd have to put a clause in
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the contry, right.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, yeah, because there's just no way it's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that easy.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: There's just no way you could sign up to go
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: through that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, I guess, I mean, I guess they can try to,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: but then he can, you know, say, I don't want
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that in there just fine, and then you have to
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: decide do I want this manager. I think they should
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: want him regards of what Alexi Lawis says, I think
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: they should want them back. I think they made strides,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: even though the ending was very disappointing. But yeah, I mean,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and then then does he have the leverage and say no,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you won't put something like that in there he.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Wants out, just find a local court and a local judge.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: A junction junction six forty five Mauricio Pochettino seeking exit
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: from US and Andrew Job.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I can see it now.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: What if the rest of the world work like college
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: sports where everything ends up at a local judge? Oh god,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: all right, speaking of college sports, fit Daddy, Yesterday was
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: day two of ACC Kickoff, Dabbo Franklin. You got to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: hear what these guys were talking about. Two of the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: big names in coaching in the ACC took center stage.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: We also have, apparently an answer to the complicated question
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that I asked yesterday Fiddy about what if we have
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: this weird three way I'm doing air quotes tie among
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: teams that have different records because you have ACC teams
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: playing different amount of games. Andy Staples contacted the ACC
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: so we don't have to. It's a very long explanation.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: We will try to understand it. That's coming up. It
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: is the mac in Bone Show on a Friday.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: You can't make decisions that please everybody, and if you
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: want to fail drastically, try to do that. And we
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: made a decision that you know, we weren't going to
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: go and get some shiny you know object at quarterback. Well,
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: we understand that, and if it doesn't work out, we're
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: going to be just raked over the coals for that.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: But you know, you've got to make decisions that you
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: believe in, and you know, we always do what we
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: think at Clemson is best for our team, for the
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: long term health of our team and an organization, et cetera.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: And there's a reason why we had confidence in the
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: decision that we made, and that's because we're there every day.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: And CV has earned the opportunity to go be the
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: starting quarterback at Clemson based on everything we've observed. Now,
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: if we didn't think he was good enough, and we hadn't,
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: he hadn't demonstrated the things that he controlled at that
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: point in his career, where we might have made another decision.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: There you go. That's Dabo talking about sticking with Christian Vizina,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: not going and getting that little old shiny object in
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the portal. And he acknowledges, Hey, if what we have
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: at quarterback is not good enough, you'all gonna call me out.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see. He knows what's on the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: line here. He also did pump up freshman QB dual
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: threat QB Tate Reynolds a bunch too, basically said he's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: kind of went on to say later in the Presservzina's
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: earned the right, you know, to be in the pole position,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: but Tate Reynolds has earned the right to, Hey, try
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to go see if I think he actually put it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Vizina's earned the right to ford to be his job
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to lose. Reynolds has earned the right, through what he's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: done so far, to be able to, Hey, it's your
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: job to win if you can go out there and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: beat him out. I do just think it's, barring an injury,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent certainty ve Zina will start the season.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're going down there too, Death Valley in
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Louisiana Kiffin's first game. I can't imagine they want to
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: send the freshman into that and we'll see. I mean,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: we talked about Vezena a little bit the other day, FITTI.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I'm a bit optimistic about him. He has waited three
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: years for this at to say. I mean it's a
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: unique story. I mean we talk about CJ. Bailey three
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: years as a starter in one place being unique. How
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: about three years as a backup just sitting there patiently
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: waiting for your chance, that is, and maybe that does
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: us speak to the Clemson culture. I like the game
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: he played last year against SMU, three hundred and seventeen yards,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns. I like the skill talent around him. The
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: old line will be interesting. They got to replace three
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: starters and including Blake Miller, they've got the Chad Morris change.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: But so I kind of like Zina, not love, but like,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: what are you thinking about that quarterback spot?
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mac, I think he's gonna play and play really well.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: I don't think you can win ten football games, even
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: in the ACC and without having really good quarterback play.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: And that's where I have Clemson penciled in in.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: I've got them right now as a ten and two
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: football team. With that being said, the big reason why is.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: I'm a believer in Chad Morris, like I do believe
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: in that relationship, that marriage. What he's gonna bring back
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: to Clemson kind of get back to what made them
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: so explosive, so dynamic. I think the running games in
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: a better spot than it was a year ago. You've
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: still got those two weapons on the outside that I
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: think will make his transition into the starter a whole
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: lot easier as oppose if he didn't have those two guys.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: But with that being said, I do think there will
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: be there will be some growing pains. It may not
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: look perfect the first week of the season when they're
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: down there and Baton Rouge having to go into that
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: version of Death Valley trying to beat a team that
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: has national title aspirations like LSU does. So it's gonna
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: be It's gonna be interesting to watch everyone laments that
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: you know, they're not Clemson is what Clemson's been because
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: they haven't had a Tage Boyd, they haven't had a
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's what ve Zena's gonna be.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: I ain't going there for the runner, but I do
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: believe in the potential for him to put up numbers,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: you know, the kind of maybe someone in there and
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: at least like in the Tage Boy ballpark, who played
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: in the Chad Morris offense.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Wood that would be that would be pretty damn good.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I will tea Time thinks he could lose the job
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to Tate Reynolds. T Time's a Clemson fan. Gator Rube
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: says they gonna be sorry way too much. Explaining yesterday
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: from Davo. It is a bit. There's a lot going
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: on in these Dabo pressers and interviews. Now has to
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: acknowledge how horrible last year is, but has to keep
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: reciting all his stats from his career. There is a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: lot happening when Dabo speaks. Right now, Let's see here
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a gas house earl says, this guy's name sounds like
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: a COVID booster shot, not a quarterback. Vizena. Oh god,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: y'all are cracking me up early this morning. All right, So,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: by the way, Clemson, all this is to set up
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: at seven o'clock, we'll have an in depth conversation about Clemson.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Tell you Clemson friends want to talk about the Tigers
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: because I want to know what is the standard now, like,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: what is a good year for Clemson football this season? Now,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting question for Clemson fans, but
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: also just ACC fans that can weigh in. James Franklin
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: another one of the big names yesterday at ACC kickoff
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Here in Charlotte, hockey fans are cranked up. That includes
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Kyle Bailey, Hokey Bone and many many others out there. Hell,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I mean hell, James Franklin is my old coach, is
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a penn State fan, and I'm fired up that the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: ACC has him here. And yesterday he was speaking declared
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: we won the offseason. That was an interesting comment. We'll
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: get into that one later on the show. We know
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: exactly what metric that is from. But he also made
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: some interesting comments. He started his career, as you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: he's a Division two football player at Stroudsburg in Pennsylvania.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Was a D two coach, and he talked about, you know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: being a place like Virginia Tech versus when he started.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I think everybody's journey is different, right, and I talk
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: about this with the players as well. You got to
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: embrace your journey. I played Division two football, I coached
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Division two football. I think those humble beginnings. Marcellos has
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: got a similar background as well. Right, those humble beginnings
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: make you appreciate everything, and I think a sense of
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: appreciation for what you have and your blessings in the
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: places that we're at are more important than they've ever been.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: In college football, when you're in D two and you
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: don't have a nutrition bar or you have to wear
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: a ton of different hats as a young coach and
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: take on a ton of different responsibilities, that's valuable. But
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: at each level there's different challenges and there's different resources,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: and you got to take advantage of it. Early in
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: my career we always had to do more with less,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: and then when you get to a place like Virginia Tech,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: you got to you gotta understand how to do more
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: with more.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Thought that was well said. There
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: was a people kind of clipped that comment yesterday Fitty
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: is as folks are apt to do, and people quote
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: tweeted it, and so they they kind of took the
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: end of the comment. People got fired up on social
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: media saying, is he's saying that he didn't have enough
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: at Penn State. Is he's saying he had to do
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: more with less at Penno. That's the full clip there.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: He's talking literally his Division two days.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: And maybe his time at Vanderbilt in the SEC.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: No, he's talking Division two. We play the full comment there.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I know that is division Yeah, Division two.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: I was just taking a shot at Vanderbilt because he
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: did he know, for my for my lifetime. He was
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: the first coach to build Vandy into a consistent program,
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: winning nine games back to back year.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Did a good great job there. But to your point,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: he kind of has gotten more and more as his
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: career is going on. Yes, you know what I mean.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: And now and now he has the most that he's
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: ever had because Virginia Tech cares more about football to
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: Penn State.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: He kind of comment, now they do. They didn't seem
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: they didn't seem quite as fired up during the last
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: couple coaching eras. I'm just how all of a sudden
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: they've give got the money.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Just try to poke the bear to see if six
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: o'clock back to.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: The wake up over the I'm just I rolling radio
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: eye rolls right now. Uh. They their schedules interesting because
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the first seven games they don't play a team that
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: has an SPI SP ranking inside the top forty, so
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: there's a chance to get off to a good start.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Their last five games are brutal. They play Clemson, SMU,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: They play at Clemson, at SMU, at Miami in the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: last five games. So like when I hear like Wes,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not no shade at west Man. But what I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: hear Wes say, Virginia Tech this year is gonna be
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the third best team in the ACC. I don't know
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: about that. I would back James Franklin to have them
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in the top two of the ACC. Honestly, you know
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: in the next three years, but this year, I don't know.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: But maybe they'll be seven and zero before they get
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to those games with a lot of confidence build up.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be interesting to see can they can they
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: build off of the lighter part of the schedule, as
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: you mentioned, Can they get out to like a six
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: and one start to put themselves in a position macked
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Like if they go eight and four and let's say
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: they get a signature win in the in the final
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: five weeks of the year, whether it comes at Clemson,
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: I SMU, got forbid, they win at Miami and they
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: can be in an eight to win nine eight to
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: nine win range that's gonna really set them up, like
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: for the transfer portal like that, that'll be it'll be
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: a destination place, definitely. And then and then the hype
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: going into twenty twenty seven would be full blown out
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: of control.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Definitely. No, you're right, Like, listen, a good eight nine
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: win season is a great start, you know what I mean.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: And maybe they'll do more than I expect, but eight
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: or nine wins great start. James Franklin's energy and charisma's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: off the charts, absolutely off the charts. The end he
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: has he relates to these players, man, he is going
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: to He's already brought players in and he will continue
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to do so. There's there's no doubt about that in
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: my mind. All Right, we got to get to this
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: tiebreaker thing. And I don't know, I don't know if
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I'm the only one obsessing over this, but I just
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: think the ACC's new tiebreaker is improved because you probably
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: won't have the fear of a you know, Miami getting
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: left out like last year anymore. But this whole thing
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: for this year, Fitty, where five teams are playing eight
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: games and twelve teams are playing nine is the most
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I don't mean this as a compliment, the most acc
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: thing in a long time. I mean, this is just goofy, man.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And so it makes the tie breakers to where they
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: consider you tied if you have the same amount of
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: wins or same amount of losses. So seven and one
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: is tied with both eight and one and seven and two.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Seven and two is tied with seven and one and
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: six and two. So I asked a question yesterday, what
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: if you have teams fitty with three different records, but
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: they're considered in a tie, and because you have and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I think Andy Staples example he's talking about here is
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: eight and one would be tied with seven and one,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: but seven and one would be tied with seven and two.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: So he basically said, if you have one nine in oh,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: team Miami will say, and then you have three teams.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: And I know, I'm sorry if I'm gonna make your
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: head hurt and if I make you think way too
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: early this morning. But if they have three teams and
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: they are tied for second, you're trying to figure out
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: who gets in the conference title game. One is eight
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and one one seven and one. By definition of this goofiness,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: they are tied. But seven and one is also tied
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: with the seven and two team. So I asked this
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: question yesterday, what the hell happens? David Glenn gave a
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: pretty good answer to me, but Andy Staples contacted the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: ACC got the answer. It's lengthy. You've got to lock
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: in right now, everybody. There will be a test on
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: this later. But listen to how this would play out, Fitty,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: this is so convoluted.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you how this tie would be
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: broken this quote unquote, we're gonna use air quotes. This
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: tie would be broken if we have a seven to
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: one team, an eight and one team, and a seven
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: and two team. So let's let's go at the example
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: ari of there's there's a team that just runs away
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: with it that's really good as nine to zero conference play.
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: They are in the ACC Championship game, which leaves one
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: spot for the AEC Championship game, and the next three
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: teams in the standings one win eight and one, one
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: went seven and one, and one went seven and two.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: Two.
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: How do we break the tie? And so here's here's
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: what they will do. According to Michael Strickland. So the
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: eight to one team has the highest overall win percentage,
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: so we'll move them out first, So we will then
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: compare them to the team that they are tied with
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: in one of the columns. So they are tied with
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: the seven to one team in the lost column. So
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: we're going to compare those two, are you It's much
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: simpler actually than you think. Once you get to this point.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: The next step is did these two teams play head
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: to head? If they did, the headhead winner gets it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: If they didn't, you go to the Sports Source Analytics
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: Team Success Ranking, which is is similar to like the
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: Sagarin rankings or all those computer rankings that they used
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: to make up the BCS. That part of that BCS
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: formula very similar to that similar sp plus that Darker
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: and Bill Connolly does, or the FPI at ESPN. So
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: who's higher ranked in that if they didn't play? And
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: once you have that, you have your answer. So now
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: if the eight and one team else in that comparison,
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: you're then comparing an eight to one team and a
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: seven and two team. Well, now it's easy, because they
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: both played the same nerve of the conference games, one
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: has a higher winning percentage than the other. The eight
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: to one team gets the spot in the championship game,
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: but if the seven and one team prevails in that one.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: Now we got to do some some more comparing because
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: the seven and one and the seven and two team
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: are tied in the law in the win column. So
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: you do the same thing again. Did they play each other?
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: If they played each other, the winner the head to
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: head goes. If they did not play each other, you
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: use that Sports Source Analytics team success ranking.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Did y'all make it that one? Or do we lead lose? Y'all?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: And can you recite that back to me on your text?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It's it's if it comes, I'll just say it this
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: way fitting. First of all, my comment yesterday was why
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: don't they just use win percentage? If you have this
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: goofy schedule where five teams are playing a different amount
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of games, it'll least starting next year it will only
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: be one team each year. But if you end up
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: with a tie this year, why can't you just use
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: win percentage and just make it real simple, Because how
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: convoluted is that you take the two one loss teams
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: that compare them first with tiebreaker, and then you get
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: to the next two and it's just if we end
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: up in that sort of three way tie fitting and
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the ACC. How badly will we be mocked nationally? Like
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I say we like I work for the ACC, How
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: badly will the ACC be mocked nationally?
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll just only speed up the exit that we
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: want to see from teams out of this conference. It
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: was really funny watching Andy Staples do the math in
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: his head, like because I'm pulling the clips, I'm I'm
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: watching his podcast and even he at some point it's
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: just making sure he has this all right, and it's
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: rationalizing because mechanism makes sense, Like it makes sense, but
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: it's it's a bigger headache than it has to be
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: win percentage.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Just choose win percentage to break it down, in what
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: world should seven to two and eight and one be involved?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And I get it. His point is if you end
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: up comparing the eight to one team to a seven
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and two team, the eight and one team will advance.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: But it's like, in what world do we need those
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: two records to even be in a three way situation
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: where you've got to do all this Holy crap Ola man,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: But anyway, this a bone shrine guy says, so a
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: seven and two team to beat an eight and one
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: team head to head will make it in that's ridiculous. No,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: it sounds to me like they if it comes to
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: those two teams, if the seven and one team compared
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to the eight and one team wins out based on
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the tiebreakers, head to head or the team rankings system,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: then they take the eight and one seven to two.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: And it sounds like they wouldn't even go to the
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: tiebreakers because they have even games and one team would
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: have a better record for even games. It seems like
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the uneven games is when you would use all these tiebreakers.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Because I got your point, bone Shrine guy. This dude said,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: all this is leading up to Dabbo getting screwed over
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: this stupid system and losing his ever loving mind. Oh yeah,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I will say, Dabo. I don't want to say this
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: because Clemson fans not trying to I'm trying to be
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: an ally Clemson fans. I know you think I'm a
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: hater sometimes, but I'd love to see Clemson have a
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: bounce back season. But like there would be some humor
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: fitty if Dabo ended up somehow losing out this scenario,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: had to try to figure it out and then got
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: angry about it. That could produce comedy.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: South Carolina would boast about that being a win over
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Clemson if you got knocked out of the AHC title
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: game because of a time bring.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Man, Is this what you do when Bones out here?
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: You take the shot at the game cocks? Yes, unbelievable.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: we get to talk some Carolina Panthers XL with a
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: very interesting like on Twitter, very interesting like on Twitter.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: And we need to know is number twelve safety in
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: the league high enough for Trayvon Merrick. We'll talk about it.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. Sports Radio ninety two
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: seven WFNZ Mac and Bone Show, Bone Man in Nashville

• 37:35
  Speaker 1: out there hanging out with us, tuning in to whatever
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: this radio show is. Last segment, we tried to figure
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: out a tiebreaker. The first segment, I tried to figure
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: out how to say golfer Bud Cawley's name. What the
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: heck happened? Did KP get kicked out of his house?
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Did missus Bailey finally have enough? KP is trolling the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: hallways right now? And I don't know what to make
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of this sighting. I feel like this is like a
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: bigfoot walked in. That's how shocked I am. This is
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: like a bigfoot walked into the studio. When you see
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the afternoon guy at a radio station this early and
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: he's got bags too, Did you get kicked out one?
• 38:10

• 38:39
  Speaker 1: you love the quiet, and then you're kind of like,

• 38:55
  Speaker 9: so I'm kicking it last night and I'm like, there's
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: this is the most boring place on earth.
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: There's no for me to talk to here.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: So how many spaghettios Kansas Spaghetti's would you consume?
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: Keep those in my office? Man, shout out panther Steve.
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: He hooked me up with a case of those bad boys.
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: I'm seventy five percent of the way through them.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: That is that is that is remarkable A man your

• 39:27
  Speaker 9: to feed you just Spaghettio's as a kid, which is

  Speaker 8: But yeah, I don't know.

  Speaker 1: They were like eight cents of pack back then.
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: It's like, all I ate you dressed them up with
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: cheese you like.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: More than Spaghettio's.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'm not a spaghetti fan at all. So I

• 40:08
  Speaker 1: put into it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: There's one thing you and I have learned that man
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: makes no sense.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah this is add this to his list. Yeah, it
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: makes no sense. Makes sense? All right, Well it's good city.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I was very concerned for you and I saw you
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: walk in.
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: Well, I gotta go to the airport, and I was like,
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: let me go inside and say hi to the boys.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: It was a good city because we never get we
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: never really get to see each other.
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: That much, not until about a month from now.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost, God, it's almost.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: Be renited with yell On Sundays, it's one of my
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: favorite days of the week.
• 40:36
  Speaker 8: I wasn't really thinking about you.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Should we tell him now? I'm kidding, Fitty, I'm kidding all.
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: Right, brother, have a safe trip listening in the uber.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Have a safe trip. You have spaghettios in the bag
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: or you left those all? There's three?
• 40:51
  Speaker 9: There's three chan, that's right. You eat it here, that's right.
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: There are three cans in my office. Fiddy, if you
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: get hungry, you can have.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: No Fiddy wants to eat that beef Ramen. He's got
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: a case of beef ramen. Apparently. All right. Anyway, that's
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: good to see KB man, so all right, so he
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: set it off, will be reunited with the family. It's
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: interesting because let's and uh KB got me back on spaghettio,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: says Commander Malik. This Texter says, how the hell is
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: a guy with three young kids like that upset that
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: they're gone. I don't think he was at first. I
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: don't know. I get what he's saying, Fitty, but I
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: think boredom was fine with me. Like when there were
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: a couple of summers where my wife took the kids
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: when they were young up to her parents and Mary
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: went back when they lived in Maryland. Now they're in
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. I think I got bored, but I think
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I still liked it. It sounded like he was like
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: tired of the boredom. Yeah, I think I got to
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: that point. I mean he could have had he could
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: have had this over that. We could have went up
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: to the kb LA livened it up, Fitty. All he
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: needed is you with your ramen and your I p
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: as you could have you gonna live in that hell up?
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: All right? Anyway, we got to do a couple of
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Panther things real quick. But that was a nice drop
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: in from kb Hope he has a safe trip. Oh,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: I forgot to ask him about the hockey bone thing,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: So did I not?
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Not?
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Not wanting hooky pone to go with him? All right? Anyway,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: but let's get to a couple of Panther things. So
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: how about this Yesterday I was looking at some different
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: accounts on Panthers Twitter, and there is this Panther fan
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: that tweeted out and I think it's like j NC something,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: j n C three, something like that. But there's a
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Panther fan on Twitter that tweeted out that he would
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: trade XL right now for a third or a fourth
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: round pick XL. Like the tweet, what does that mean.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Does that mean he wants to get trade like that
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: or is he just kind of like think it's funny. Oh,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: this guy's dissing me. I'll just go on there and
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: show him. I don't care. I just like his tweet.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: I can't wait till I gets asked to him a
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: training camp. It'll be probably Scott Fowler XL. I saw
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: you like a tweet on Twitter where you'd like to
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: be traded.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: For a third or fourth round pick.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: Explain hopefully, mack you hopefully he just had a case
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: of like the fat fingers.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And just by mistake. Yeah, yeah, you.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Know, it was just rolling through and just feel like
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: by accident.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: When some of those dirty things get liked by you
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: and that's all that happened.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: They are clearly that's not an accent. Oh okay, I
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: see that stuff out.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna need Vashti vash. I could probably pull this off.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: And what were you doing? The guy was trying to
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: trade you for a third or fourth round pick. You
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: liked it on social media. He's so like silly, I
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: could see maybe him messing around. All right, So the
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Merrick thing is interesting. We mentioned this in the
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: middle of the show yesterday. He ends up basically being
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: named the twelfth best safety in the NFL by executive
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: coaches and scouts. This is the ESPN thing Jeremy Fowler
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: is doing where they release a different position each each day.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty damn good. I would have personally
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: liked to see him in the top ten, like nine,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: something like that, because of just the force he is,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: the chest piece he is as a run stopper, as
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: an extra line I mean they literally would bring Ransom
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: in last year and he would play backer. They would
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: play him as the big nickel in the slot coverage.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: They would blitz him from the slot, they would blitz
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: him from linebacker, they blitz him from deep like he's
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: just and I'll never forget the play he made, you know,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: deep against the Packers. So it's like he can do everything.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: I would have liked to see him get in the
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: top ten, but I do think it still is pretty
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: damn high up. You know.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't make the argument mac that twelve's too low.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: I can also make the argument that maybe six, seven,
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: eight maybe would have been too high. But I thought
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: there was a nice sweet spot for him to be
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: inside the top ten.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: I thought the quote though that.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: You read off yesterday was even though it wasn't top ten,
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: really like explained how he is viewed around the league
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: and that people do see just how versatile he is
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: and what a weapon he is for a Jaro vero,
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: you know, in the Panther secondary. I cannot wait to
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: see what year two has in store for him. I
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: hope we get him back at training camp for a
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: sit down interview, because he's just as really cool and
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: interesting off the field as he is on it. I
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: think this guy's gonna think he's gonna flirt with with
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: the Pro Bowl this year. Maybe be a guy next
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: year where we're going through the same list again, maybe
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: sneaks inside the NFL top one hundred, and when we
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: get this executive list, maybe does climb inside that top ten.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: We've got a Texter. I don't know if he's a
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Panther fan or not. He should not be top ten.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: He can't cover Mac. It's definitely the weakest part of
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: his game. Had a fifty two coverage rating, so it
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: is easily the weakest part of his game. But I
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily think he is terrible at that, and I
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: think the other stuff, by the way, makes up for
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the coverage being less right. That's why we have been
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: saying over and over again, you need to pair him
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: with someone that is better, more rangey, and that sort
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: of guy. And I don't know, do we have that
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: guy on the roster yet. We'll find out, or do
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: we not have that guy on the roster yet. Let's
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: see whatbody else is saying, Zaye and Charlotte. When I
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: hear about these athletes liking or arguing fans who talk
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: about them on social media, blows my mind. If I
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: were them, I would just be wiping my tears. My
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars I see, I'm like that too. Whereas
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: although I'll say, like I, I would not want it,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: I would not care and I would not want to
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: know what fans and media are saying about me if
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a football player, million or a millionaire athlete. Some
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: people can't help themselves. But this wasn't a bad one.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: It wasn't like he got going on there and argued
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. You know, he liked it, liked
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: it somehow, so.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: They wanted to be He liked the idea of being traded.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: Reading that to what.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: You will he did. I mean he no, he didn't
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: necessarily say that. He just liked the tweet.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: He liked it going there and say, God, I hope
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: this happens tomorrow.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: No, he liked the tweet that someone wishing'd be traded
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: for a third or fourth round pick liked it.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: But but he yeah, so I just again, it's Excel.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: It's the biggest, it's probably the biggest goofball on the team.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: So that's why I'm saying he could just be messing
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: around thinking it's funny. I could see that. It's not
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: like Bryce Young went on there and like this, you
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Bryce Young, If he went on
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: there and liked a tweet like that, he ain't joking Xcel.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Couldn't you see him just being goofy? Yeah, sitting with
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: his boys and moms. Oh you need is right now
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: and they won't pray me right now. Let me get
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: a little like this man, right, that funny man, you
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? He just seems so fun loving.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I can't like I would just I could see him
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: being the personality type. Let me mess with this guy
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: here and get him a light.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well we could see if Jerry Jones is interested.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can we get that Mingo deal? Run that Mingo
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: deal back Jerry? All right, how about Jerry getting booted
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: in his own stadium the other day at the World Cup.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: That was that was amazing. God, I love that he
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: should get boot in the stadium every week. Actually, all right,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. Next up on the Mac
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: and Bone Show, we gotta have this conversation about Clemson.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: You'll hear more Dabos, you'll hear more from Dabbo, but
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: we've got to hear from Clemson fans, Clemson hater there's
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: everybody out there. What should the expectations be for Clemson
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: football this season? What should be good enough from Dabo?

  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it.
