- 1:02Speaker 1: Oh god, it feels good. Okay.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I mean I thought you were giving like a speech.
- 1:07Speaker 3: You thought it was reacting. Oh yeah, so you want
- 1:10Speaker 3: me to speak? Man, many things says Pro Football Hall
- 1:14Speaker 3: of Fame like Kenny, Eugene Pickett and cousin out of
- 1:18Speaker 3: Wish's Beck.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Doing battle with the greats and the.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Bus rest that night, I'm expecting Bone full on, back up,
- 1:30Speaker 3: quarterback breakdowns and controversy.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Show.
- 1:34Speaker 3: The notes you're gonna have on Haines King is gonna
- 1:36Speaker 3: be something tomorrow because there's not a lot of quarterback
- 1:39Speaker 3: options back for the Panthers, So once Haines King gets
- 1:41Speaker 3: in there, he's gonna play a lot. Haines King, you
- 1:44Speaker 3: might have want to loosen your arm like the kid
- 1:45Speaker 3: in that commercial with Cam Newton.
- 1:47Speaker 1: You might need to loosen that arm up. Baby.
- 1:50Speaker 3: We talked to Haines after he signed here. Wasn't it
- 1:52Speaker 3: the he came out of a game throwing up Georgia Tech.
- 1:56Speaker 3: He put so much into it, right, wasn't he? He
- 1:58Speaker 3: took so many hits and so much physicality he was
- 2:01Speaker 3: throwing up on the sidelines. Haines, you've seen nothing yet,
- 2:04Speaker 3: my friend, An you think tonight might be another puke
- 2:06Speaker 3: special for old Haines King. They will have to surgically
- 2:09Speaker 3: reattach Hanes Hayes King's arm after the game.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I have a feeling.
- 2:14Speaker 3: And he also might run about fifteen times tonight as well.
- 2:17Speaker 1: He might. There's a chance he goes three hundred and
- 2:20Speaker 1: fifty tonight in this game. You think you're going big
- 2:23Speaker 1: on DraftKings for them, bone you're going big on the
- 2:25Speaker 1: Haines King overs. I don't bet them, and I don't
- 2:28Speaker 1: bet the preseins let's the line tonight. Of course you
- 2:32Speaker 1: are above that.
- 2:34Speaker 3: I need to get away from baseball betting, so whatever
- 2:36Speaker 3: whatever works. Oh man, it is here, baby, it is here.
- 2:39Speaker 3: We'll talk about it. We are also two days away
- 2:42Speaker 3: from Luke Keighley getting the moment he freaking deserves going
- 2:46Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame ceremony
- 2:49Speaker 3: is noon on Saturday. Man, they are going to be
- 2:52Speaker 3: hot out there, all dressed up right at high noon.
- 2:56Speaker 3: But I can't wait for that. There's some really cool
- 2:59Speaker 3: articles out there that the local guys are writing about
- 3:02Speaker 3: Luke Keikley. Will talk about that too. And we have
- 3:05Speaker 3: the NCUBA doing something absurd and they are being called
- 3:10Speaker 3: out by an SEC coach about it. We will talk
- 3:12Speaker 3: about that this hour. We got somebody spine on the Panthers.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Apparently we got LaMelo B.
- 3:19Speaker 1: It's on me this time. I've got my own issue.
- 3:22Speaker 3: I've got a guy that's been a put on leave
- 3:24Speaker 3: and I've got a girlfriend that's bothered me.
- 3:25Speaker 4: I'm gonna like, go on.
- 3:26Speaker 3: I don't think we can blame Bill this time like
- 3:28Speaker 3: we did before the Super Bowl back at three. We
- 3:31Speaker 3: also have Lamello Ball video of LaMelo Ball's condo and
- 3:34Speaker 3: what it looked like here in Charlotte as the movers
- 3:37Speaker 3: pack it up. Oh my god, this is exactly what
- 3:40Speaker 3: you would think LaMelo Ball's place would look like. Actually,
- 3:43Speaker 3: So anyway, we got a lot going on six o'clockers.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Let you hear from Jake Delone great interview with him
- 3:48Speaker 3: yesterday late in the show. So we want the six
- 3:50Speaker 3: o'clockers to be able to hear it. As far as
- 3:53Speaker 3: tonight's game, Yeah, it seems like I know Joe Person's
- 3:59Speaker 3: been saying this, that feeling is that Kenny Pickett will
- 4:02Speaker 3: only get a series or two in this game tonight.
- 4:06Speaker 3: You kind of alluded to this earlier in the week
- 4:08Speaker 3: and I said, no, maybe don't split this thing. Maybe
- 4:11Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett will get the first half. It sounds like
- 4:13Speaker 3: you were right. It does not sound like Kenny Pickett
- 4:15Speaker 3: is going to get the first half. And it honestly
- 4:17Speaker 3: sounds like Haines King could play three quarters, three and
- 4:20Speaker 3: a half quarters of this football game tonight. Arizona is
- 4:24Speaker 3: sitting out their top two quarterbacks tonight. They are sitting
- 4:28Speaker 3: out Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew. And yes, those are
- 4:32Speaker 3: the two I know it's sad, but those are their
- 4:34Speaker 3: top two quarterbacks, So Carson Beck and Keten Slovis will
- 4:39Speaker 3: be on duty tonight though for Arizona. Remember this was
- 4:43Speaker 3: the game that I was told and I was out
- 4:46Speaker 3: that week. I'm sure you guys talked about it, but
- 4:49Speaker 3: this was the game that they brought Will Greer in
- 4:52Speaker 3: for as an extra arm. And now you kind of
- 4:55Speaker 3: see why they weren't going to play Brce in this game.
- 4:57Speaker 3: They didn't want to play the direct backup picket for.
- 4:59Speaker 1: That long in the game.
- 5:01Speaker 3: So then they tried to bring in Trask, but due
- 5:03Speaker 3: to roster injuries and whatnot, they couldn't bring him in here.
- 5:07Speaker 3: So they were trying to get an extra arm in there.
- 5:09Speaker 3: So they didn't sacrifice Haines King to the Hall of
- 5:13Speaker 3: Fame game gods, but that's going to be the case tonight. Yeah.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Will Greer retired to go take a coaching job with
- 5:18Speaker 3: the Cowboys. And that's another thing that Joe person was
- 5:21Speaker 3: saying too, is that he thinks if Will Greer was here,
- 5:24Speaker 3: it would be Will Greer and Haines King and the
- 5:26Speaker 3: Panthers would sit their top two guys. Yeah, so anyway,
- 5:32Speaker 3: it's the Hall of Fame game. I think we can
- 5:33Speaker 3: start our complaining next week. If, like Dave Canalis, sits
- 5:37Speaker 3: out all the starters, I think we can do some
- 5:39Speaker 3: complaining next week, although we still do have those two
- 5:43Speaker 3: joint practices that play a role in the preparation. But
- 5:47Speaker 3: this week is a game bone where routine lee it is.
- 5:50Speaker 3: It's a tradition unlike any other where I go on
- 5:53Speaker 3: Twitter before the Hall of Fame game and I see
- 5:56Speaker 3: a list from the local Beat reporters that are covering
- 5:59Speaker 3: the teams in the game of the players that are
- 6:02Speaker 3: sitting out, and the list usually goes on and on
- 6:07Speaker 3: and on about thirty something names. So this is the norm.
- 6:13Speaker 3: The Panthers are going to do the norm tonight and
- 6:16Speaker 3: we'll see who's who's playing. Man, We'll see, Yeah, it
- 6:18Speaker 3: might be easier to list off who's in the game.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Then who's not in the game.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Might be a shorter might be a shorter list.
- 6:26Speaker 3: There's a there's a chance tonight Haines King has to
- 6:28Speaker 3: go bugs Bunny tonight and throw a pass to himself,
- 6:32Speaker 3: which would be kind of a cool play to see,
- 6:33Speaker 3: But I don't know if that's what you want. Ultimately,
- 6:35Speaker 3: I'm here for it, baby, I'm here for I love
- 6:37Speaker 3: Haines King's honesty too. By the way, do we have
- 6:40Speaker 3: that clip fitty from Haines King where he talks about
- 6:45Speaker 3: what tonight means to him and why tonight is important
- 6:49Speaker 3: and I love my man's honesty. Here.
- 6:51Speaker 1: It's not just about doing it for the Carolina Panthers.
- 6:55Speaker 5: It's very important, you know. And it's not just fifty
- 6:59Speaker 5: three as well. All the teams get to watch this film,
- 7:01Speaker 5: so it's almost kind of like a cool little try
- 7:04Speaker 5: out for everything. You know, whatever you put on film,
- 7:07Speaker 5: it's it's gonna be there forever. And you know the
- 7:10Speaker 5: iind the sky don't lie, as everybody says, but you know,
- 7:13Speaker 5: I feel like it'll be fun. But also, at the
- 7:16Speaker 5: end of the day, like you said, it's important. It's
- 7:19Speaker 5: important for me and you know, whatever is for me
- 7:23Speaker 5: in the future.
- 7:24Speaker 1: So there you go. He knows bone.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Hey, if it doesn't work out with the Panthers, a
- 7:28Speaker 3: night like tonight could be my showcase for everybody.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I am mad at him very for saying that. It's
- 7:34Speaker 1: the truth.
- 7:34Speaker 3: And the thing is with the Panthers, if they don't
- 7:36Speaker 3: want to carry three on the active roster, I would
- 7:39Speaker 3: think they would want to try to stash Haines King
- 7:41Speaker 3: on the practice squad.
- 7:44Speaker 1: But we'll see.
- 7:44Speaker 3: There could be a bunch of gms bone taking notes tonight,
- 7:47Speaker 3: you know, sitting on the couch taking notes tonight watching
- 7:49Speaker 3: Haines King. Eight oh three number asked, it's Heinrich Harberg
- 7:53Speaker 3: an option at quarterback tonight for the Panthers. No, he
- 7:56Speaker 3: was the tight end from Nebraska that also played quarterback.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Was released in early June. So no, mister Harburg is
- 8:04Speaker 3: not an option tonight. I can honestly tell you I
- 8:06Speaker 3: have never heard of that man in my life.
- 8:08Speaker 1: At first I thought he was talking.
- 8:09Speaker 3: At first, I thought he was talking about the Warner's
- 8:12Speaker 3: draft choice.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I don't know who y'all got me on that one. Man.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I don't miss much with the Panthers, but that one.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I'd be like, what are we talking about here?
- 8:22Speaker 3: Yeah, he was here from May twentieth to the first
- 8:24Speaker 3: week of June, So yeah, you didn't miss a whole
- 8:27Speaker 3: lot on that one.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Man.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Y'all were locked in, some of y'all. I got a
- 8:30Speaker 3: guy I gotta tipped my hat to that text. You
- 8:32Speaker 3: were locked in, but apparently weren't you weren't locked in
- 8:34Speaker 3: when he got released. The Panthers did make some roster
- 8:38Speaker 3: moves yesterday. They basically are trying to sort things out
- 8:43Speaker 3: Bone with injury situations on each line, so some of
- 8:48Speaker 3: the moves that they are making. They brought in Jake Kerrhan,
- 8:54Speaker 3: who has been with them in the past, knows the offense,
- 8:57Speaker 3: knows the blocking schemes and that sort of thing, so
- 8:59Speaker 3: they have brought him in. They put Sadique Charles on
- 9:02Speaker 3: on IR and that's a shame because he, by all accounts,
- 9:05Speaker 3: he had been playing with the ones, yeah, with Dami
- 9:08Speaker 3: Lewis out and been doing pretty well, So shame for him,
- 9:12Speaker 3: But that's the move they made there. They also bring
- 9:15Speaker 3: in defensive tackle Parker Peterson, who I thought was the
- 9:21Speaker 3: you know, birth name of Spider Man, but Fitty has
- 9:24Speaker 3: assured me that that is Peter Parker and it is
- 9:28Speaker 3: not Parker Peterson. Parker Peterson is a defensive tackle. I
- 9:32Speaker 3: would guess Bone that is the move that is made
- 9:35Speaker 3: to corresp spaond with Lebrian Ray retiring, it would be
- 9:38Speaker 3: my guest, do you know what's sad about this whole
- 9:41Speaker 3: situation here, not that you made that joke that I
- 9:44Speaker 3: wrote down over here, asked Mac if that's Spider Man
- 9:48Speaker 3: or not what you talk about you talk about being
- 9:51Speaker 3: a bit teaser form right now, vibing, we're on the
- 9:53Speaker 3: same page. Fitty is disgusted by the way that I
- 9:56Speaker 3: would make that I would joke around about superheroes and
- 9:59Speaker 3: something that's so serious.
- 10:00Speaker 6: Yes, well, I'm gonna give you a little education, guys,
- 10:03Speaker 6: because you have a multiverse.
- 10:06Speaker 4: There are is a different Spider Man. His name is
- 10:08Speaker 4: Miles Morales.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I did I did see that, but I saw that movie.
- 10:12Speaker 3: The cartoon movie animated. It was animated, not cartoon cartoon.
- 10:16Speaker 1: What's the difference?
- 10:17Speaker 4: It was animated.
- 10:18Speaker 1: What is the difference?
- 10:20Speaker 4: Cartoon is childish?
- 10:23Speaker 3: So and so are you and your superhero buddies out there,
- 10:25Speaker 3: and listen, I want to on a panther game, game
- 10:29Speaker 3: on a panther game. But you want to start like this.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Let's start like this.
- 10:34Speaker 3: All right, Hondo, settle down over there, settle down, unclench
- 10:37Speaker 3: your fist over there, sir. No, we need we need,
- 10:40Speaker 3: we need like a new inspector gadget movies, but we
- 10:42Speaker 3: need that's my guy back in the day. That's my
- 10:44Speaker 3: was that cartooner animation though I'm afraid that animated. Okay, okay,
- 10:51Speaker 3: what uh? Oh? We do need to mention that the Cardinals,
- 10:55Speaker 3: some of their preparations bone for the game have going viral.
- 11:01Speaker 3: There is a Cardinal I guess you could call it
- 11:04Speaker 3: a low light video package that somebody put together with
- 11:07Speaker 3: a bunch of practice film, and it looks like the
- 11:11Speaker 3: bad News Bears football. Addition, I'm not gonna act bone
- 11:15Speaker 3: like our threes in fours aren't going to do some
- 11:18Speaker 3: ugly stuff tonight too, But holy crap, that Cardinals video
- 11:22Speaker 3: had me dying. Yeah, Cardinals might not be very deep.
- 11:24Speaker 3: I want to just bring that up here. It looked
- 11:27Speaker 3: like outtakes from a like they're they're they're doing a
- 11:32Speaker 3: football movie, and it looks like outtakes of the actors
- 11:35Speaker 3: playing football. It looks so silly looking. Oh, I was laughing, man,
- 11:40Speaker 3: I was laughing. And again, I know what looks silly
- 11:42Speaker 3: tonight at times too. But the Cardinals, the Cardinals ones
- 11:46Speaker 3: this year might look like threes. They know they're they're
- 11:49Speaker 3: they're in a rough spot out there, and what they
- 11:52Speaker 3: were putting their hopes on going for. Obviously, Jeremiah Love,
- 11:55Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be good. But Marvin Harrison Junior
- 11:58Speaker 3: has not really been that that generational type talent that
- 12:03Speaker 3: way the next Larry Fitzgerald, if you will, he is
- 12:05Speaker 3: not really He was part of the He's had some
- 12:08Speaker 3: highlights here at Wildwhites and Camp or he just dropping
- 12:10Speaker 3: ball still all these Ohio state receivers that are bawling
- 12:13Speaker 3: out in the NFL and getting paid, and he's one
- 12:16Speaker 3: that you might have thought be the best one of
- 12:17Speaker 3: the money. He's struggling and has just been. Ah. We mentioned,
- 12:22Speaker 3: and we've mentioned all week it is Luke Keigley Appreciation Week,
- 12:25Speaker 3: or as a listener said, we should call it Luca
- 12:28Speaker 3: Palooza here on the Mack and Bone Show this week,
- 12:30Speaker 3: we got Steve Wilkes on today, we got Ron River
- 12:33Speaker 3: on tomorrow. As we continue to hear from people on Luke.
- 12:36Speaker 3: But there's also great articles out there you can read
- 12:39Speaker 3: from so many great local writers Bone that have dug
- 12:42Speaker 3: into so many aspects of Luke's story. Joe Person did one.
- 12:48Speaker 3: There's a great quote in the in the Joe Person
- 12:52Speaker 3: article from Greg Olsen. They will not surprise anybody that
- 12:57Speaker 3: knows about Luke. I'll read from Joe Person. He says.
- 13:02Speaker 3: Olsen says that Luke called him and said, dude, what
- 13:06Speaker 3: are we gonna do? The Hall of Fame ceremony is
- 13:09Speaker 3: the first week of training camp he's talking about for
- 13:11Speaker 3: the Charlotte Christian Middle School team they coach. Olson said,
- 13:14Speaker 3: I'm like, Luke, we're going to cancel a day or
- 13:17Speaker 3: two of middle school training camp because you're going into
- 13:20Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. But that's where his mind immediately went,
- 13:23Speaker 3: because this is gonna be about me. It's going to
- 13:25Speaker 3: alter everybody else. That is so vintage Luke Keickley. That's
- 13:29Speaker 3: what I said. You'll hear it when I'm in the
- 13:31Speaker 3: Jake interview, but I'll say it now again. When I
- 13:33Speaker 3: texted Luke to come on the show this week, just
- 13:36Speaker 3: throwing it out there. I know he was busy and
- 13:38Speaker 3: I said that. He said, yeah, I'm busy. I have
- 13:41Speaker 3: to uh get these kids ready for the season. He
- 13:43Speaker 3: was not busy to me, saying to me, with the
- 13:46Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, he's more concerned with the kids than
- 13:49Speaker 3: he is the Hall of Fame. So so, Charlotte Christian
- 13:53Speaker 3: Middle School training camp got Luke out of a Mac
- 13:55Speaker 3: and Bone show interview, but it will not get him
- 13:58Speaker 3: out of giving a speech and can't know how, which
- 14:00Speaker 3: if it was up to him, bone he would probably
- 14:02Speaker 3: let someone else make the speech, yes, and he wouldn't
- 14:04Speaker 3: be up there talking about himself because he just he
- 14:07Speaker 3: doesn't want to do all of that. There was a
- 14:10Speaker 3: great quote in the Joe Person Article two from Matt Ryan.
- 14:14Speaker 3: It's kind of like I don't know, almost like in
- 14:16Speaker 3: Oral History Luke Keigley edition, whereas it's Panther players and
- 14:20Speaker 3: people that know him. And then Matt Ryan was the
- 14:22Speaker 3: one competitor in there that had quotes in there. And
- 14:26Speaker 3: the quote from Matt Ryan, I played golf with him
- 14:28Speaker 3: after we both retired, and we were hanging out having
- 14:31Speaker 3: a beer afterwards. All of a sudden, on a napkin,
- 14:34Speaker 3: he is asking me to draw up our wide zone
- 14:37Speaker 3: rules in Atlanta and our cadence and checks. He was like,
- 14:41Speaker 3: I could never figure this out, and I'm like, man,
- 14:43Speaker 3: I don't even remember this stuff. Luke Luke Keighley. It's
- 14:47Speaker 3: driving him crazy that Atlanta did things that he couldn't
- 14:50Speaker 3: figure out. So when he is chilling retired having a
- 14:55Speaker 3: beer with Matt Ryan, he needs to know what was
- 14:57Speaker 3: this stuff that I couldn't figure out larious. It's just
- 15:03Speaker 3: so good, Uh Texter Tony kay assid. It's been asked
- 15:06Speaker 3: a couple of times, who's inducting Luke on Saturday? Now
- 15:10Speaker 3: they do it by video? Now, were they the videos
- 15:13Speaker 3: being done by his father?
- 15:14Speaker 1: Tom? Yeah, that's awesome, that's awesome. To this I offered,
- 15:19Speaker 1: but you know, it is what it is. He was
- 15:21Speaker 1: his father.
- 15:23Speaker 3: You offered to talk to him on the radio and
- 15:25Speaker 3: to his induction, and he declined both of those offers amazingly.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Uh.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Darren Gant wrote, Uh, I mean, Derek Gant has a
- 15:32Speaker 3: series of articles Panthers dot Com, all different angles on
- 15:36Speaker 3: Luke Keighley. He's got one about Luke's rookie year and
- 15:40Speaker 3: a lot of you know, we talked about this in
- 15:43Speaker 3: in a while. He came in here and John Beson, Wow, John,
- 15:47Speaker 3: thank you for that, vitio, thank you for that. John
- 15:49Speaker 3: Beeson was the established Now John Beaston was coming off
- 15:52Speaker 3: that injury, serious injury, but John Beeson was the established
- 15:56Speaker 3: All Pro Pro Bowl middle linebacker on the team. And
- 16:01Speaker 3: Luke Keighley comes in and there's great quotes in there
- 16:04Speaker 3: from John Beeson, who has always been like classy when
- 16:07Speaker 3: he's talked about how good Luke was and Luke taking
- 16:10Speaker 3: his job and he handled it so classy when it happened.
- 16:14Speaker 3: And Darren Gant writes in here about how Luke's dad
- 16:19Speaker 3: sent John Beeson a letter at the end of that
- 16:22Speaker 3: year where Luke Keighley stole his job and thanked him
- 16:26Speaker 3: for the way he treated his son in a difficult
- 16:28Speaker 3: situation for him personally. And John Beeson, who lost his
- 16:32Speaker 3: job to Luke Keighley here in Carolina, will be in
- 16:34Speaker 3: Canton this week to celebrate Luke Keighley. It's just a
- 16:39Speaker 3: cool part of the story. Well, no wonder where Luke
- 16:42Speaker 3: Keigley gets the class from. It starts with his parents,
- 16:45Speaker 3: so you can you can see that right there, or
- 16:47Speaker 3: that from an early age that that he he didn't
- 16:50Speaker 3: just appear.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Like this guy.
- 16:52Speaker 3: He was raised that way he entered he entered a
- 16:57Speaker 3: linebacker room that wasn't necessarily at that time I thought
- 17:01Speaker 3: of to be in need. And that's why there was
- 17:02Speaker 3: a great debate about whether or not Lout made Cent
- 17:06Speaker 3: or not for the team, because of Beeson, because of
- 17:08Speaker 3: t D even James Anderson, James Andrews has three good linebackers.
- 17:12Speaker 3: The Panthers were making their strikes stronger. They were they
- 17:15Speaker 3: were taking a gamble to yes, epa, yeah, And one
- 17:20Speaker 3: of us Bone didn't want Luke Kickley for that very reason.
- 17:25Speaker 3: Who was that? It might have been me, y'all. I
- 17:28Speaker 3: know you're surprised, but that might have been me. But also,
- 17:31Speaker 3: like you talk about his dad being a class like John.
- 17:34Speaker 3: I always thought this the way John Beeson handled the
- 17:36Speaker 3: situation and it continues today, there'd be a lot of
- 17:39Speaker 3: people that would have been so ticked off about that.
- 17:43Speaker 3: In that article by Darren Gant, it talks about John
- 17:46Speaker 3: a moment Cam Newton is a Cam Newton quote. John
- 17:49Speaker 3: Beeson calls Cam into the weight room, I gotta talk
- 17:52Speaker 3: to you, and he talks about how, dude, he's got
- 17:56Speaker 3: to take my job in the middle. We can't play
- 17:59Speaker 3: him outside. He's got to take my job. He's better
- 18:01Speaker 3: than me, man, And like it's just it's just it's
- 18:04Speaker 3: just an interesting part of the story, it really is.
- 18:08Speaker 3: I do want to mention baseball. Last night, Bony, I
- 18:12Speaker 3: can't quit, Babe, here we go. I know, I know
- 18:14Speaker 3: we had a truce to quit baseball, but last night
- 18:18Speaker 3: the Braves won four to one.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Bryce Elder.
- 18:21Speaker 3: They may not have added a frontline starter, but Bryce
- 18:24Speaker 3: Elder's pitching like one after after a swoon there for
- 18:26Speaker 3: a while. Bryce Elder has a two point six e
- 18:30Speaker 3: R A and his four and one in his last
- 18:31Speaker 3: five starts, seven innings, one run baseball. Last night, the
- 18:36Speaker 3: Braves win four to one over the Marlins last night,
- 18:41Speaker 3: and thanks to a dramatic win by Fitty Marlow's Metropolitans,
- 18:46Speaker 3: my Orioles Bone are now a half game out of
- 18:49Speaker 3: the wild cart in the American League.
- 18:51Speaker 1: So Bone, you.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Know when I went off and said stop with a
- 18:54Speaker 3: baseball talk, Bone, shut the bleep up. You know what,
- 18:58Speaker 3: I forget that, forget the whole thing. Man, Let's let's
- 19:01Speaker 3: talk some al wildcard. Elder is three and oh in
- 19:04Speaker 3: his last thirty days. You mentioned the swoon. He had
- 19:06Speaker 3: it eight e R in the month of June, so
- 19:09Speaker 3: he's only really had one awful month. Braves are fourteen
- 19:13Speaker 3: and five since the All Star break. That's good for
- 19:16Speaker 3: second best in baseball behind the Red Sox who are
- 19:20Speaker 3: sixteen and three. Also, the Braves have a top five
- 19:23Speaker 3: e R with their starters, so not just Elder since
- 19:26Speaker 3: the All Star break. So the Braves hit that little
- 19:29Speaker 3: little divot there for a while, that little pothole. But
- 19:33Speaker 3: since then they've been they've been rolling. They've utilized the
- 19:36Speaker 3: All Star break their advantage here, no doubt about it. Yeah,
- 19:38Speaker 3: and that's your baseball update. We will not give you
- 19:40Speaker 3: you excite the results either way. I know I hate
- 19:43Speaker 3: it for our Yankees. Man, Lombardy not get go yard
- 19:46Speaker 3: last time. Lombard had a nice day in the field. Bar, Well,
- 19:48Speaker 3: you know you're not excited about the AL East All
- 19:50Speaker 3: Star race.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Man, I'll tell you what. All right, All Star Wildcard?
- 19:54Speaker 3: Read?
- 19:54Speaker 1: What that hell I'm talking about? Can I say something
- 19:56Speaker 1: about baseball right now? Though? What this red soft thing's not? Stop?
- 20:00Speaker 2: Is it?
- 20:00Speaker 5: No?
- 20:00Speaker 1: It's not.
- 20:01Speaker 3: They could be in the World Series. Like, yeah, they
- 20:04Speaker 3: could legitimately be in the World Series. You know that
- 20:06Speaker 3: Al's wide open. Man, I thought they were completely toase
- 20:09Speaker 3: and here they go within sixteen of their last nineteen.
- 20:12Speaker 3: When we come back here on the macabone radio program,
- 20:16Speaker 3: a Sports pot Pourrie, we've got NFL news and notes,
- 20:19Speaker 3: an SEC coach rightfully ticked off at the NCAA, and
- 20:24Speaker 3: we have to talk about Wamelo balls, David Busters like
- 20:27Speaker 3: Condo Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ Sports Radio ninety
- 20:53Speaker 3: six seven WFNZ. It's a Panther game day, Baby KB
- 20:57Speaker 3: and I are back on Countdown to Kickoff six to
- 20:59Speaker 3: a pm AM. It would be in the sixth eight
- 21:03Speaker 3: AM right now, six to eight pm tonight. We'll get
- 21:06Speaker 3: you going on countdown to Kickoff. Get you ready for
- 21:10Speaker 3: a shortly after eight o'clock kick tonight on NBC for
- 21:14Speaker 3: Panthers and Cardinals. Gator Rube says he is now his
- 21:18Speaker 3: son is a Cardinals fan, and he has sent his
- 21:21Speaker 3: son the low light clip to mess with him. Untimately,
- 21:26Speaker 3: don't really know any Cardinals fans. I can't name one
- 21:30Speaker 3: outside of rub Junior. I gotta ask game.
- 21:32Speaker 4: John Ham's a Cardinals fan.
- 21:34Speaker 1: The Tidwell family, the Rod Tidwell's family when he played there.
- 21:37Speaker 1: I guess what. Okay, there you go, Fellas, there you go.
- 21:40Speaker 4: I think Joe Buck's a Cardinals fan.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Grom sport Fit.
- 21:44Speaker 4: You just said named Cardinals fans.
- 21:45Speaker 1: We're talking about Arizona Cardinals.
- 21:48Speaker 4: My bad.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Finish just gonna name people that do bird watching and
- 21:52Speaker 3: are fans of the actual bird.
- 21:53Speaker 1: The Cardinal.
- 21:54Speaker 3: We've lost baseball Fitty is gone by the way, we
- 21:57Speaker 3: found out during the break it's over for him right now. Yeah,
- 22:01Speaker 3: I don't blame him. I don't blame him. I've been
- 22:03Speaker 3: there before. Man, I'll probably be there next week. But anyway,
- 22:06Speaker 3: gator rude, what kind of parenting is that?
- 22:09Speaker 1: Mamas? Don't let your babies grow up to be cardinal fans?
- 22:11Speaker 1: All right? That is not the way you want your
- 22:15Speaker 1: child to have to live. All right. We've got Jake Dolone.
- 22:18Speaker 3: We're gonna let you hear a conversation from the end
- 22:20Speaker 3: of the show yesterday with Jake Dolone that a bunch
- 22:24Speaker 3: of good stuff, Luke Keigley and Steve Smith who is
- 22:28Speaker 3: not in the Hall of Fame yet and it should
- 22:30Speaker 3: be happening for God's sakes. But before that, let's kind
- 22:33Speaker 3: of go Poe Prie. Let's kind of bounce around. There's
- 22:35Speaker 3: a bunch of NFL news and notes from yesterday. The
- 22:39Speaker 3: Washington Commanders signed Stefan Diggs, who has been out there
- 22:43Speaker 3: after a thousand yard season. There had been some trickling
- 22:46Speaker 3: text messages from Panther fans saying why don't we signed
- 22:50Speaker 3: to Stefan Diggs? And I think it's basically because He's
- 22:53Speaker 3: probably not the kind of guy you want around your
- 22:55Speaker 3: young locker room and your young receiver room. But Washington
- 23:00Speaker 3: has been linked bone to Brandon Ayuk for a while.
- 23:03Speaker 3: They both basically chose the dude that is probably crazy,
- 23:08Speaker 3: but the lesser crazy. Uh oh, and that is bad
- 23:11Speaker 3: news for Brandon, a bad, bad news man. Yeah, and
- 23:14Speaker 3: that is definitely not a good sign for him. He'll
- 23:17Speaker 3: be the U the number two with Terry McLaury. Maack,
- 23:20Speaker 3: What do you what do you expect from Washington this year?
- 23:24Speaker 3: Last year, excuse me, two years ago made unreal strides.
- 23:28Speaker 3: Last year one of the more disappointing teams in the league.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Daniels got hurt. What are you expecting from them this year?
- 23:35Speaker 3: Do you have any feel for them? Maybe a round
- 23:37Speaker 3: five hundred, I definitely don't.
- 23:39Speaker 1: We're in the middle maybe of what the two years
- 23:41Speaker 1: ago was.
- 23:42Speaker 3: I think their third best in their division. I mean,
- 23:45Speaker 3: keep in mind, my predictions every now and then are wrong,
- 23:48Speaker 3: you know what I mean. That's kind of my feeling
- 23:50Speaker 3: is they're not going to totally stink.
- 23:53Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Maybe I'm under estimating the healthy Jaden Daniels, but like
- 23:57Speaker 3: I'm not imagining a return to an NFC championship game,
- 24:01Speaker 3: you know from two years ago. I wonder if they
- 24:02Speaker 3: will be at least in the maybe back end wild
- 24:05Speaker 3: card like in the Hunt. Maybe, I guess I got
- 24:09Speaker 3: to look at their schedule. Maybe in that Yeah, probably
- 24:11Speaker 3: in that area. Although here's here's the issue back their
- 24:13Speaker 3: first three games of the season at Philadelphia, at Dallas,
- 24:18Speaker 3: at home Verar Seattle. So we gonna find out. We
- 24:23Speaker 3: gonna find out.
- 24:25Speaker 1: Very quickly.
- 24:26Speaker 3: The reason I bring up Brandon ike Bone is because
- 24:28Speaker 3: he had been angling for I mean, he had been
- 24:33Speaker 3: just shamelessly and all these ridiculously awkward videos that he's
- 24:37Speaker 3: been putting out about his anger with the Niners and
- 24:40Speaker 3: that messed up situation where they don't want him around
- 24:43Speaker 3: but he's under contract. And then Bone he has been angling.
- 24:46Speaker 3: He was angling for so long to play for the
- 24:47Speaker 3: Commanders because his college teammate, Jaden Daniels is a quarterback there.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Then he turned on Jaden Daniels to start insulting him.
- 24:56Speaker 3: So anyway, I don't blame the Commanders at all. If
- 24:58Speaker 3: you're going to bring in either one of those, do
- 25:00Speaker 3: it is Stefon Diggs, And I have an honest question Yeah,
- 25:03Speaker 3: do you it is how possible you think it is
- 25:05Speaker 3: that Brandon and I never plays an NFL game again,
- 25:08Speaker 3: because I can't imagine anybody looks at him, and quite honestly,
- 25:12Speaker 3: I mean he could probably I feel like he could
- 25:15Speaker 3: use some psychological help. It is that messed up some
- 25:18Speaker 3: of his stuff. He is saying on videos. Yeah, do
- 25:21Speaker 3: you know how crazy Mack you have to be to
- 25:24Speaker 3: be a thirteen hundred yard receiver? At one point in
- 25:26Speaker 3: the nfl'sright now, we don't want anything to do with you.
- 25:28Speaker 3: We're also getting further away from when he had those
- 25:31Speaker 3: back to back really good years that was twenty two
- 25:34Speaker 3: and twenty three, and he's not done anything. He's had
- 25:39Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy four yards total since the thirteen
- 25:42Speaker 3: hundred yards of twenty twenty three. We're getting further away
- 25:45Speaker 3: from the production. And not only are you bringing in
- 25:48Speaker 3: a guy who you can't trust from the personality side,
- 25:53Speaker 3: he's not played a lot of football riscently either. So
- 25:55Speaker 3: there's a lot now some of us because last year
- 25:57Speaker 3: the Niners told him, Hey, just don't bother showing up
- 25:59Speaker 3: to work. Yeah, just don't bother, Just don't bother coming,
- 26:03Speaker 3: And there was an injury involved.
- 26:04Speaker 1: But yeah, it's just it's I think I think.
- 26:07Speaker 3: They trust the subs, the electrical substation, more than they
- 26:10Speaker 3: trust Ayuk. Michael I think sums it up well, he says,
- 26:14Speaker 3: Brandon Ayuk feels like the modern day Antonio Brown.
- 26:16Speaker 1: It does.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Yeah, he could use some some dang help off the field.
- 26:21Speaker 3: But how about Aaron Donald. He was on the field
- 26:24Speaker 3: yesterday bone in a workout that apparently has to be
- 26:28Speaker 3: deemed as a tryouts. I'm using air quotes here for
- 26:31Speaker 3: the for the l A Rams. NFL rules indicate that
- 26:36Speaker 3: basically he has to do some form of tryout in
- 26:39Speaker 3: order to sign with the Rams. Sean McVeigh afterwards said,
- 26:43Speaker 3: I saw him. I think he could make the team.
- 26:46Speaker 3: So this is one. Aaron Donald is playing for the
- 26:49Speaker 3: l A Rams. Just a matter of when, right when
- 26:51Speaker 3: he wants it.
- 26:52Speaker 1: You did there?
- 26:52Speaker 3: Yeah, is he going to be in there for the
- 26:55Speaker 3: Australia game or is he going to sign the you know,
- 26:57Speaker 3: the weekend. He'll be in there at some point. I
- 26:59Speaker 3: feel like it's got to happen within within a short
- 27:02Speaker 3: period of time here. I would not think he wants
- 27:03Speaker 3: to miss games. He probably wanted to miss the starting
- 27:06Speaker 3: trading camp. But I can't imagine he wants to miss games,
- 27:09Speaker 3: So yeah, I would think, what are we five weeks
- 27:11Speaker 3: to the day away from the or five weeks from
- 27:14Speaker 3: yesterday because it's a goofy Wednesday night game from their opener, Yes,
- 27:19Speaker 3: so yeah, I would think he would get in their
- 27:21Speaker 3: bone in the next couple of weeks and be ready
- 27:23Speaker 3: to roll for that open I'm glad the Rams could
- 27:25Speaker 3: get some defensive help, though it's been a while since
- 27:27Speaker 3: they added a Hall of Famer.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Been a while there, you go, thank you, Finny, thank you.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Every time that happens, I want to punch myself in
- 27:34Speaker 1: the head.
- 27:34Speaker 4: Well, why don't you what bone stopping you?
- 27:36Speaker 1: What bothers you? More?
- 27:38Speaker 3: Six seven or it's been a while, but it's starting
- 27:40Speaker 3: to it's starting to creep.
- 27:42Speaker 1: It's is starting to get up.
- 27:43Speaker 3: There can see something fitty real quick without giving details
- 27:46Speaker 3: away bones. Yesterday, there seemed to be some uh issues
- 27:50Speaker 3: where Mac and I maybe address your love life when
- 27:53Speaker 3: we shouldn't have and it may have caught Did everything
- 27:55Speaker 3: work out okay or some of the people involved, uh
- 27:59Speaker 3: not happy with this whle thing?
- 28:01Speaker 4: The issue is not resolved okay, right?
- 28:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I got that scoop earlier, Bone, I got that's
- 28:09Speaker 3: not going well. It appears, and I don't know if
- 28:13Speaker 3: for this to be certain, do you blame just not
- 28:15Speaker 3: on us. It was a group effort, all right, Justscris
- 28:19Speaker 3: also are doing it as a team. It appears, Bone,
- 28:21Speaker 3: and I don't know this to be certain, but it
- 28:23Speaker 3: appears that when I eagerly bring up Fiddy's love life
- 28:29Speaker 3: that it may hurt his ability to.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Get a lady.
- 28:31Speaker 3: I'm not sure I need a bigger sample size, but
- 28:34Speaker 3: I'm starting to wonder if that's possible.
- 28:36Speaker 1: We don't know that for sure. We're trying to we mean, well,
- 28:41Speaker 1: we're trying to help. Well.
- 28:42Speaker 6: No, but I think with you, I think it was
- 28:45Speaker 6: at the core, like an honest mistake by you.
- 28:50Speaker 4: I specifically told Mac not for air.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even took it out. I didn't say
- 28:56Speaker 1: it though.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Out of the promo.
- 28:58Speaker 6: When he promoted on the previous he stays show, I
- 29:02Speaker 6: was like, Nope, not doing this.
- 29:04Speaker 1: God, you are a lame little weasel. Seriously, you know,
- 29:07Speaker 1: I know I'm lame. You know what, I never I
- 29:10Speaker 1: will never. We ain't talking about it. Were shutting it down.
- 29:12Speaker 3: We shutting it down, Bone, No more talk about this
- 29:15Speaker 3: man and a woman, all right, no more talk about it.
- 29:19Speaker 1: We could talk.
- 29:20Speaker 3: The only relationship we talk about is the Fitty and
- 29:22Speaker 3: Flounder relationship, which is really a heartwarming, long time, lifelong
- 29:26Speaker 3: friends relationship. So yeah, we shutting it down, baby, We
- 29:30Speaker 3: are shutting this down because you know what all we're
- 29:32Speaker 3: doing is talking about a whole button. Nothing, whole button,
- 29:34Speaker 3: A whole bunch of nothing is all we talk about, anyway.
- 29:37Speaker 1: So go ahead, you take your little ball and go home.
- 29:39Speaker 1: All right?
- 29:41Speaker 3: Anyway, boom, we talked about your relationship on the air.
- 29:43Speaker 3: More now, I mean, what do you want to know?
- 29:49Speaker 3: I don't know, man, what happens, what happens late at night?
- 29:51Speaker 1: What? Okay, I've been married forever twenty years. Has nothing
- 29:56Speaker 1: to talk about with me? Man, doctor, I need something
- 29:59Speaker 1: over here.
- 30:00Speaker 3: See he's got no juice now paging doctor, creepy, Doctor creepy.
- 30:06Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about your love life. We get
- 30:08Speaker 1: got We've been married for over twenty years. Anybody out
- 30:11Speaker 1: there have been married for twenty years? Tell Bone to
- 30:13Speaker 1: your exciting stories. You know what I mean?
- 30:15Speaker 3: You're always put it on us. You're the you're the
- 30:17Speaker 3: leader of this operation. What what do you Why don't
- 30:20Speaker 3: you go talk coitus? Oh my lord, you want to
- 30:22Speaker 3: hear about a twenty one year marriage? Bone, You're gonna
- 30:24Speaker 3: people will fall asleep. I'm the problem to say people
- 30:28Speaker 3: will fall asleep Bone while driving their cars. I mean,
- 30:31Speaker 3: listening to that talk.
- 30:32Speaker 1: I wasn't serious. Okay, Oh you real I hear. I
- 30:35Speaker 1: thought you wanted to hear about what's going on with
- 30:37Speaker 1: me and missus. Matt, Damn you smart ass. All right, anyway,
- 30:40Speaker 1: let's get back to football. Shaw. We got on a
- 30:42Speaker 1: little tangent right there?
- 30:46Speaker 3: Where was I? Oh? The puppet City's kitchen? The Bucks
- 30:50Speaker 3: issues fitty can fitty fitty is piece of work?
- 30:53Speaker 1: All right? Anyway? The Bucks issues Bone. Uh.
- 30:56Speaker 3: Yesterday h Videvea's agent came out and basically said, I
- 31:00Speaker 3: don't see anyway this impass resolves and ends without a trade.
- 31:07Speaker 3: So they are digging in. His camp is digging in
- 31:09Speaker 3: for a trade. The Bucks apparently don't want to trade him.
- 31:13Speaker 3: I guess they could literally just say, okay, sit out.
- 31:16Speaker 3: At some point Viaave is going to play football. But
- 31:20Speaker 3: I could guarantee you he ain't gonna play football. There
- 31:23Speaker 3: pass this year. It doesn't look like. No, that's the
- 31:25Speaker 3: very least. There's a lot going on here for Todd
- 31:28Speaker 3: Bowles to deal with other than just the fact that
- 31:31Speaker 3: Todd Bowles is on the hot seat. He's got a
- 31:33Speaker 3: quarterback that's upset, He's got a defensive leaders upset. They
- 31:37Speaker 3: lost another leader in Mike Evans in the offseason. This
- 31:41Speaker 3: is not the ideal time back for a lot of
- 31:44Speaker 3: the leaders and the leadership to go awrye for Todd
- 31:48Speaker 3: Bowles right now, he needs everyone focused on the task
- 31:51Speaker 3: and end right now. Tampa Bay website, they're kind of
- 31:54Speaker 3: a mess right now. From the outside. Yeah, there's some
- 31:58Speaker 3: major discord there. There's no doubt about Baker. The common
- 32:02Speaker 3: thought with Baker seems to be that he will that
- 32:07Speaker 3: they will use the franchise tagget they have to. They
- 32:09Speaker 3: have two years where you can use the franchise tag
- 32:11Speaker 3: at forty seven million on him. But the Vidavea thing,
- 32:15Speaker 3: it does looks like eventually at some point he will
- 32:18Speaker 3: be gone there. I do want to mention college football
- 32:23Speaker 3: because this situation is really ridiculous involving the NCAA. I mean,
- 32:30Speaker 3: why why do you even bother why do they even
- 32:32Speaker 3: bother bone to try to enforce rules, especially ridiculous rules
- 32:36Speaker 3: like this. Tennessee linebacker Arian Carter has been suspended for
- 32:40Speaker 3: the first two games of the season, including a pretty
- 32:43Speaker 3: good game early against Georgia Tech. So and the reason
- 32:49Speaker 3: being bone is he had an agent pay for a
- 32:52Speaker 3: plane ticket four hundred and twenty seven dollars back during
- 32:56Speaker 3: the NFL's pre draft process. Well, Carter ended up getting
- 32:59Speaker 3: in while working out before the draft and deciding, Okay,
- 33:02Speaker 3: I'm hurt. I can't keep preparing for the draft or
- 33:05Speaker 3: working out for teams. I'm just going to go back
- 33:07Speaker 3: to the NFL. He then promptly paid back the four
- 33:10Speaker 3: hundred twenty seven dollars to the agent, and then months later, recently,
- 33:15Speaker 3: the NCAA decides we're going to suspend you for accepting
- 33:19Speaker 3: the four hundred and twenty seven dollars which months ago
- 33:21Speaker 3: you paid back. Yeah, two the hell two games, including
- 33:26Speaker 3: the game that you mentioned. That's a big one for
- 33:28Speaker 3: them for four to twenty seven. In this football economy
- 33:32Speaker 3: where pay players are getting paid all this money for
- 33:36Speaker 3: NIYLL and whatnot, he got docked two games for four
- 33:40Speaker 3: hundred and twenty seven dollars that he did pay back.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Josh Heipel has all the.
- 33:45Speaker 3: Reason to be upset about that, and he was listen
- 33:47Speaker 3: to Josh Eipel yesterday and his presser.
- 33:49Speaker 7: The ruling that came out from the NCUABLEA, the two
- 33:52Speaker 7: game suspension, I truly believe is both. You look at
- 33:59Speaker 7: the landscape of college football, the rules from nil everything.
- 34:07Speaker 7: I think the ruling is completely outdated.
- 34:10Speaker 3: And it is there is bull bleep. It is bull bleep, sir,
- 34:13Speaker 3: no doubt about it. Come on, man, it's one thing
- 34:16Speaker 3: if you want to make him pay it back and
- 34:18Speaker 3: threaten the suspension still kind of annoying. Over four hundred
- 34:21Speaker 3: and twenty seven bucks considering how hard it is for
- 34:23Speaker 3: anybody to enforce rules. This is bull blank and how
- 34:26Speaker 3: little rules there really are in this stupid sport. But
- 34:29Speaker 3: he pays the money back, and you guys still want
- 34:31Speaker 3: to suspend him. The NCAA is a joke. It's like,
- 34:34Speaker 3: it's like the It's like it's like a mall cop
- 34:38Speaker 3: that knows he has no real authority to do anything,
- 34:41Speaker 3: but he is trying desperately to impose his authority. It's like,
- 34:45Speaker 3: give it up already. NCUBLEA. Yeah, my god, it's talking outside.
- 34:50Speaker 3: It's it's it's both sides of the situation here that
- 34:54Speaker 3: that are making a lot of sense, because that that
- 34:57Speaker 3: feels like something now would happen in nineteen ninety nine,
- 35:00Speaker 3: nine or two thousand, not twenty twenty. Ridiculous, ridiculous. But
- 35:03Speaker 3: what did you think of the LaMelo ball uh Condo?
- 35:06Speaker 3: I guess the movie? I love the I love reading
- 35:08Speaker 3: the comments underneath the posts of the of the condo
- 35:12Speaker 3: about how it was like David Busters and Chuck E Cheese.
- 35:15Speaker 1: It totally does.
- 35:17Speaker 3: I mean, there's all kind of arcade games and all
- 35:19Speaker 3: kind of stuff. Uh the that I gotta be honest,
- 35:23Speaker 3: knowing LaMelo, who's a big giant kid, doesn't that look
- 35:26Speaker 3: like a place LaMelo would enjoined? I Hilly rides the
- 35:28Speaker 3: go cart on the roof of the of the of
- 35:30Speaker 3: the condo. I guess you used to. This is a
- 35:32Speaker 3: video that's gone viral because the movers, I guess basically
- 35:38Speaker 3: shot video and and and and got this same read
- 35:41Speaker 3: very upset former NBA All Star That privacy you pay
- 35:45Speaker 3: these people? Why are you putting out there this guy's
- 35:48Speaker 3: business like that? It is pretty lame. Honestly, I'm not
- 35:50Speaker 3: gonna I'm not going to disagree with that. It's not
- 35:52Speaker 3: it's stop.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it.
- 35:54Speaker 3: But with that said, it was also amusing and it's harmless.
- 35:57Speaker 3: I know they'll be there'll probably be some take on
- 35:59Speaker 3: the text line bone of I told you Labella balls
- 36:02Speaker 3: immature and it's like some of you guys a bunch
- 36:06Speaker 3: of games around the crab man. I would not get
- 36:09Speaker 3: worked up over that. Los like somewhere Richie rich would live.
- 36:14Speaker 1: That's a good call.
- 36:15Speaker 3: You're had to be a slide somewhere in that. INNDO,
- 36:20Speaker 3: let me review the film. Maybe we missed it the
- 36:22Speaker 3: first time, Bony. I mean the guy drives a golf
- 36:24Speaker 3: cart on the roof. What do you think the inside
- 36:26Speaker 3: of that? Exactly? When we come back yesterday, we had
- 36:29Speaker 3: the chance to talk with Panthers great Jake Dolome all
- 36:33Speaker 3: about Louke Keikley, the season ahead, and so much more.
- 36:37Speaker 3: Don't miss Jake next on Sports Radio seven WFNZ, Sports
- 36:57Speaker 3: Radio ninety seven wfn Mac and Bone with you Panther
- 37:02Speaker 3: Game Day ladies and gentlemen.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Texter from the seven h four says Mac, we.
- 37:07Speaker 3: Can't have you guys arguing over Fiddy's love life today.
- 37:10Speaker 3: It's game day, baby, That is right, sir, that is right.
- 37:13Speaker 3: I can't lose the plot here, Bone cannot lose the plea.
- 37:16Speaker 3: We went down a bad path on Haines King Day. No,
- 37:20Speaker 3: it's just seriously, it's this day should be celebrated and
- 37:23Speaker 3: every Panther fan should be together on the same page
- 37:26Speaker 3: looking for what did you predict?
- 37:28Speaker 1: Bone?
- 37:28Speaker 3: Five hundred total yards Yes from Haines King tonight in
- 37:32Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame Game.
- 37:34Speaker 1: The Hall of Fame.
- 37:35Speaker 3: Game obviously coincides with the Hall of Fame Induction ceremony,
- 37:39Speaker 3: which once again features a Panther player, but for the
- 37:42Speaker 3: first time ever, it's a dude that played his entire
- 37:45Speaker 3: career with the Panthers. This has never happened before. It's
- 37:48Speaker 3: another element that makes Saturday and Luke Keighley's induction so special.
- 37:53Speaker 3: Yesterday we got a chance to catch up with Jake Dilom,
- 37:56Speaker 3: who works with Luke on the Panthers Radio network, knows
- 37:59Speaker 3: him well as player and a person, and he joined
- 38:02Speaker 3: us to talk Panthers, but joined us to talk about
- 38:05Speaker 3: Luke Keekley and how he doesn't want the attention for himself.
- 38:09Speaker 2: He always wants to deflect to someone else and even
- 38:13Speaker 2: you see it, and I'll say it again, and I've
- 38:15Speaker 2: said it many times. When we go on the field
- 38:18Speaker 2: before the game, we make a couple of trips up
- 38:20Speaker 2: and down from the booth and we always go watch
- 38:23Speaker 2: the other team warm up in the flesh. Film is
- 38:26Speaker 2: one thing, but just seeing them move, body types, things
- 38:28Speaker 2: of that nature. I want to see arm lengths, I
- 38:30Speaker 2: want to see how they're shape, things like that. We're
- 38:33Speaker 2: both that way. It's amazing that the player from the
- 38:38Speaker 2: other teams they go up to him and it's in
- 38:41Speaker 2: reverential terms. It's almost like the genuflected in front of
- 38:44Speaker 2: him and they're like, oh my gosh, I still watch film.
- 38:46Speaker 2: And then guys in shriek cloths, like guys that are
- 38:49Speaker 2: inactive are practice squad guys. Oh my gosh, I watched
- 38:52Speaker 2: film leading up to the combine on you. It's unreal.
- 38:55Speaker 2: And he just never wants to talk about himself. He
- 38:58Speaker 2: was like, well, good, how you doing? Then how's every thing?
- 39:00Speaker 2: You know? He wants to deflect it immediately. But that's
- 39:03Speaker 2: the impact that I think he had on the game
- 39:05Speaker 2: that I don't unders think people truly understand is that
- 39:09Speaker 2: he is still studied to this day by all these
- 39:11Speaker 2: young players and they continuously talk about him and that's
- 39:14Speaker 2: the standard.
- 39:15Speaker 3: Yeah, Jah ask him to come on the show this week.
- 39:18Speaker 3: He didn't tell me that he was too busy going
- 39:21Speaker 3: into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Luke told me
- 39:23Speaker 3: that he's busy coaching the kids up, the high school kids.
- 39:26Speaker 1: So it wasn't about and that's true.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Like it's it's a h he just like and we'll
- 39:32Speaker 2: talk on the phone and we talk a lot and
- 39:34Speaker 2: a lots during the season and he'll start talking about
- 39:37Speaker 2: his games, coaching the kids and things like that. He
- 39:40Speaker 2: just he loved it. He just wants to pour everything
- 39:42Speaker 2: into him into the kids.
- 39:44Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome, man, And that's one of the things
- 39:46Speaker 3: about him. He was such an awesome player. But man,
- 39:49Speaker 3: like you said, fans and Panther Nation are in love
- 39:52Speaker 3: with with him as a as a person as well.
- 39:55Speaker 3: When you're sitting up there in the booth and you're
- 39:57Speaker 3: talking ball, whether it's on the air during game, whether
- 40:00Speaker 3: it's you know, before the game, Like, how apparent is
- 40:04Speaker 3: it talking to this dude that, oh my god, this
- 40:07Speaker 3: is one Because I know a lot of times y'all
- 40:09Speaker 3: quarterbacks maybe think those defensive guys aren't as sharp as you.
- 40:12Speaker 3: I'm not sure any quarterback ever thought that about Luke Man.
- 40:15Speaker 1: He was. He was. He was playing chess, wasn't he. Yeah,
- 40:19Speaker 1: he was.
- 40:19Speaker 2: And his like formation recognition and how he can pick
- 40:24Speaker 2: up everything's formation wise and you know, like offensively. For me,
- 40:28Speaker 2: when I watch film on the defense, I'm looking at
- 40:31Speaker 2: obviously the whole structure and you kind of know down
- 40:34Speaker 2: in distances what a team tendency, what they like to do,
- 40:36Speaker 2: and so you have that as you build up your
- 40:38Speaker 2: game plan through the course of the week. Well, he
- 40:41Speaker 2: was so good at recognizing formations and things of that nature,
- 40:45Speaker 2: and hey, they like doing this out of the backs
- 40:47Speaker 2: off set, be careful of this, and he's gonna go
- 40:50Speaker 2: to a guard set or a tackle set and watch
- 40:53Speaker 2: kind of how they're set in their stance. It's pretty remarkable,
- 40:58Speaker 2: just his recall and what he can see, what he
- 41:00Speaker 2: can do, and just pattern recognition that he was able
- 41:04Speaker 2: to do. Like you go back to everybody knows the
- 41:07Speaker 2: two Tony Romo plays, but the interception on Thanksgiven Night,
- 41:11Speaker 2: you just watch him. He's running up the scene with
- 41:14Speaker 2: somebody then realizes, Okay, well I have a da coming
- 41:16Speaker 2: in behind me, and he lets the guy go, and
- 41:18Speaker 2: he goes right to whether theyg is supposed to be
- 41:20Speaker 2: in the ball, he catches it right in front of
- 41:22Speaker 2: his face. It's those things that he could do so fast.
- 41:25Speaker 2: And another thing we probably don't talk about enough. He
- 41:28Speaker 2: was so athletic. I mean, I don't think he gets
- 41:30Speaker 2: enough credit for us quick and explosive. When you watch
- 41:33Speaker 2: those films, he's backpedaling when he puts his foot in
- 41:36Speaker 2: the ground, it's immediate he's going forward or he's going
- 41:40Speaker 2: in the direction. And just it was different, man, he
- 41:42Speaker 2: was different.
- 41:44Speaker 4: Jake.
- 41:44Speaker 3: While we're excited to see we go to the Hall
- 41:47Speaker 3: of Fame, we saw Sam Mills, we saw pap we're
- 41:50Speaker 3: waiting for the day when eighty nine can get up
- 41:52Speaker 3: there as well Steve Smith and give what will likely
- 41:55Speaker 3: be an iconic Hall of Fame speech.
- 41:58Speaker 1: Well, what do you think about Smith not getting in yet?
- 42:01Speaker 1: And how ridiculous do you think it is that he's
- 42:03Speaker 1: having to wait a little bit here?
- 42:05Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I I'm certainly I'm very biased, I will
- 42:09Speaker 2: say that. And here's the thing that's that's so tough.
- 42:13Speaker 2: I mean, there seemed like there's been a log jam
- 42:15Speaker 2: there that they have you know Tory Holt, you know
- 42:20Speaker 2: Reggie Wayne, and then you had Smitty. It's like everybody
- 42:22Speaker 2: that was cannibalizing each other. And then Larry comes in
- 42:25Speaker 2: and Larry becomes a you know, a first ballot. So
- 42:28Speaker 2: it's and it's frustrating for me. I just know what
- 42:31Speaker 2: Steve was. And then talking to other players and people
- 42:34Speaker 2: to coordinators throughout the years, the number one thing that
- 42:37Speaker 2: they that they had to do weekend and week out
- 42:39Speaker 2: was stop eighty nine. And the thing that I know
- 42:42Speaker 2: that I took. I don't want to say it was
- 42:45Speaker 2: frustration on steven Ice Park, but like we would play
- 42:48Speaker 2: a couple of games. We played Tampa one year, I
- 42:50Speaker 2: think it was eight or whatnot. I couldn't throw the
- 42:53Speaker 2: ball to him because they dedicated to people to stop him,
- 42:55Speaker 2: so he had to split in the corners on him,
- 42:58Speaker 2: and the safeties all the way outside the hash with
- 43:00Speaker 2: the Angelo and Jonathan were just running it right at
- 43:02Speaker 2: him because we had a numbers advantage because Steve affected that,
- 43:05Speaker 2: and that doesn't show up in the stat sheet. The
- 43:07Speaker 2: same thing happened in Green Bay in two thousand and eight.
- 43:11Speaker 2: It wasn't that good of a game for him statistically,
- 43:13Speaker 2: but because it was so okay, he is not going
- 43:16Speaker 2: to beat us. And then what happens late in the game,
- 43:18Speaker 2: under two minutes, I hit him down the team and
- 43:20Speaker 2: he's able to run past all the guys he catches him,
- 43:23Speaker 2: we kick a field goal to win. Those are the
- 43:25Speaker 2: things that it goes unnoticed. And it's not what he
- 43:29Speaker 2: did on the field. Listen, if this guy would have
- 43:31Speaker 2: only been a kicking punt returner, he'd be the best
- 43:33Speaker 2: kicking punt returner there ever was. I mean, he did
- 43:36Speaker 2: it as a rookie in his second year. He was
- 43:38Speaker 2: in our third year, Super Bowl year, he was still
- 43:40Speaker 2: returning kicks for touchdowns. The guy was just different. I
- 43:44Speaker 2: know I'm standing on the soap box and I know
- 43:46Speaker 2: I'm beating the drum form, but the guy was different
- 43:49Speaker 2: than the other ones. That's just my opinion. I don't
- 43:51Speaker 2: think there's any doubt. When will he get in, I
- 43:54Speaker 2: don't know, but it definitely I feel I'm frustrated for him,
- 43:58Speaker 2: and he's done right thing by taking the high roll.
- 44:01Speaker 2: But I promise he was pretty frustrating for him too.
- 44:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't blame him.
- 44:04Speaker 3: We're frustrated too, because it's just I see these guys
- 44:08Speaker 3: that were great receivers, but I see them in offenses
- 44:11Speaker 3: that passed more, you know what I mean, whereas you
- 44:14Speaker 3: got yeah, and just I just know, man, he's better
- 44:17Speaker 3: than that guy, you know. I just feel that in
- 44:19Speaker 3: my heart and I'm biased to, you know, being a
- 44:20Speaker 3: Panther fan. One other thing I got to ask you
- 44:23Speaker 3: about Smitty is we we played a clip earlier in
- 44:26Speaker 3: the week. It was Shannon Sharp's podcast. He had Jeremy
- 44:29Speaker 3: Shockey on and Shocky played with Panthers for one year
- 44:32Speaker 3: and play with Smitty for one year, and they were
- 44:34Speaker 3: both talking about something that we always marveled at the
- 44:36Speaker 3: fact that this dude was five to nine but would
- 44:39Speaker 3: go up and compete for jump balls like he was
- 44:41Speaker 3: Randy Moss, like he was some six or five receiver,
- 44:43Speaker 3: and they were just freaking out over that.
- 44:46Speaker 1: Jake. You would throw it up for him, man, and
- 44:49Speaker 1: you would trust him, like, did you like, did it
- 44:52Speaker 1: take a while to trust like that little dude He's
- 44:55Speaker 1: gonna go up and get like like that's that's I've
- 44:58Speaker 1: never seen a jump ball receiver at his It was ridiculous.
- 45:01Speaker 2: Man. So okay, I'll go back to three and we're
- 45:04Speaker 2: splitting reps Rodney Pe, Chris Winky and myself because Rodney
- 45:08Speaker 2: was the established starter going into the year. And I
- 45:11Speaker 2: remember trying to throw some in routes right, so about
- 45:14Speaker 2: eighteen yard in route, and I could when I think
- 45:19Speaker 2: it needs to let go, I let it go and
- 45:20Speaker 2: I would throw early with anticipation that hit the receiver
- 45:23Speaker 2: where he's supposed to be. Every time I would throw
- 45:25Speaker 2: it like Steve's catching it, but he's catching it behind
- 45:28Speaker 2: his body. And I'm like, Robbie, Damn, what am I doing?
- 45:33Speaker 2: And I'll never forget Rodney and Chris. I walk back
- 45:35Speaker 2: and I didn't know them well enough yet It's early
- 45:37Speaker 2: in the springs, and they both looked at me, and
- 45:40Speaker 2: Rodney said, Jake, he said, he's not normal. I said,
- 45:43Speaker 2: what do you mean. He goes, there's no one with
- 45:45Speaker 2: the explosion out of his break like him. He goes, well,
- 45:49Speaker 2: you think you need to throw it in your mind
- 45:50Speaker 2: go to yards further. And I really am tree you.
- 45:53Speaker 2: I had to kind of retrain my brain. And he
- 45:55Speaker 2: and I were both so wet behind the years that year. Yeah,
- 45:58Speaker 2: I was in my seventh year, as my first year starting, well,
- 46:01Speaker 2: he was in his third year. But really and truly
- 46:03Speaker 2: his first time as a full time wide receiver. We
- 46:05Speaker 2: grew together, we made mistakes together, but I was able
- 46:09Speaker 2: to kind of Dan Henning would say it best guys
- 46:13Speaker 2: with Steve smith Has. He said, only the good Lord
- 46:16Speaker 2: can produce. He's just different. And we had a we
- 46:20Speaker 2: had three letters. We'd say all the time, f t
- 46:23Speaker 2: s and it will feed the studs and Dandy any
- 46:28Speaker 2: time he's one on one or anything, give him a chance.
- 46:33Speaker 2: And I mean that's exactly kind of what we did.
- 46:35Speaker 2: We gave him a chance, and he made us right
- 46:37Speaker 2: many more times than not.
- 46:39Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone's ever played a better game.
- 46:42Speaker 3: It took over a game at wide receiver more Jake
- 46:44Speaker 3: than you guys in that five playoff game against the Bears,
- 46:48Speaker 3: considering divisional round, the defense that the Bears had that year,
- 46:53Speaker 3: and what Smithy did to them that day, I don't
- 46:56Speaker 3: know if a receiver's ever had a better day than that.
- 46:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I was special. You know, the first third down
- 47:02Speaker 2: of the game, we ran a play that was a
- 47:03Speaker 2: staple fifty hitch Oregon, and you know you had Charles
- 47:08Speaker 2: Tillman and usually there was if he was like six
- 47:11Speaker 2: yards or less Steve would run the go. Well, if
- 47:14Speaker 2: he's had seven yards or more, he's gonna run the hitch.
- 47:16Speaker 2: And you know, as he lined up, you know, I
- 47:19Speaker 2: kind of glanced breaking the huddle off said, okay, he's
- 47:21Speaker 2: about seven we're gonna run the hitch. We'll get the
- 47:23Speaker 2: first out. Well, I hurried up. I made my drop
- 47:26Speaker 2: and it's just a quick five. I'm replacing steps in
- 47:28Speaker 2: the pocket and I turned and I crank it to
- 47:31Speaker 2: go to throw the hitch. Well, Steve has his head
- 47:34Speaker 2: copped down and he is running the one hundred meters
- 47:36Speaker 2: like Usain boat and he kind of watches my stance
- 47:41Speaker 2: and he thinks I'm driving and pinut kind of fits
- 47:43Speaker 2: for a second. Steve runs right past him, so I
- 47:45Speaker 2: recoil real quick, get it to him, and we come
- 47:48Speaker 2: to the sidelines. I'm like, dude, I was bothering to
- 47:51Speaker 2: throw the hitch, and he said, that's the way to
- 47:53Speaker 2: watch me and know what I'm doing, you know, And
- 47:55Speaker 2: just it was one of those deals. And as the
- 47:56Speaker 2: game went on, I remember it was one point to
- 47:59Speaker 2: touchdown passed on the left side line. When Steve jumped
- 48:01Speaker 2: and celebrated on the Gold Coast, they put maybe Nathan
- 48:05Speaker 2: Basher on him, and I knew he had good ball skills,
- 48:08Speaker 2: but he couldn't run. And I'm like, oh no, I
- 48:10Speaker 2: mean this is easy. I'm throwing it. It's a go route,
- 48:13Speaker 2: it's not even close, and I lay it up there
- 48:15Speaker 2: and Nathan Vasher just falls because Steve goes by him
- 48:18Speaker 2: so fast, and he's just he was just different. Even
- 48:22Speaker 2: Ronde Barbaro, who I thought it was. He's the Hall
- 48:24Speaker 2: of Famer for a reason. But Ronde the same weight.
- 48:27Speaker 2: We play in Tampa and Ronde if ever he pressed
- 48:30Speaker 2: him and he'd laugh about it. I heard him give
- 48:33Speaker 2: a signal we throw a goat and he just shake
- 48:35Speaker 2: his head, like what am I gonna do? If I
- 48:37Speaker 2: play off? They throw it in front of me and
- 48:39Speaker 2: gets in yards. If you're getting near him, he's gonna
- 48:41Speaker 2: run past me. He's just different.
- 48:43Speaker 1: There you go. That's Jake Delone.
- 48:44Speaker 3: Good stuff about Luke Keighley going into the Hall on
