Transcript
- 0:25Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ 7 o'clockers. Welcome aboard. It's a
- 0:31Speaker 1: little victory Tuesday. We're going to extend victory Monday. We
- 0:34Speaker 1: feeling so good.
- 0:35Speaker 2: And what? Why not? We got a bye week. We
- 0:37Speaker 2: got a week. You know, we.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Got 12 days until the Panthers next game in Philadelphia
- 0:42Speaker 1: against the Eagles, who will be in Jackson or not
- 0:44Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. in Jacksonville's home away from home in London,
- 0:49Speaker 1: England this week. So a lot of travel after that
- 0:52Speaker 1: game to get back and then play the Panthers. I
- 0:56Speaker 1: kind of like that portion of the schedule. We got
- 0:59Speaker 1: to talk some NFC South right now, baby. I just
- 1:02Speaker 1: saw a Panther fan send out a tweet with the
- 1:05Speaker 1: NFC South standings asking the other three teams how you
- 1:09Speaker 1: like the view down there. The bucks are way down there,
- 1:12Speaker 1: but this— How's my backside look? This— hey, no. So you
- 1:17Speaker 1: don't answer that.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Hey, no. Yeah, exactly. He was about to answer that
- 1:22Speaker 2: for real.
- 1:22Speaker 1: The walking HR violation has an answer for that question
- 1:25Speaker 1: over there.
- 1:25Speaker 2: The walking HR violation. The violation.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, the 10 win sign here, it
- 1:33Speaker 1: apparently doesn't know it's Victory Monday, Bone. It just fell
- 1:36Speaker 1: off the wall. Because it's Tuesday. Or Victory Tuesday, whatever
- 1:39Speaker 1: the hell I'm talking about. By the way, that's a
- 1:41Speaker 1: sign from God that said 10 wins? 10 wins?
- 1:42Speaker 2: 10? We're talking playoffs.
- 1:47Speaker 1: That sign just asked to be changed to the divisional
- 1:50Speaker 1: title wagon instead of the 10-win wagon. Also, Fiddy walked
- 1:53Speaker 1: out and just stepped right over the whole thing, but
- 1:55Speaker 1: didn't even pick it up. Yeah, I thought he was
- 1:56Speaker 1: coming over to pick it up. No, he's just walking
- 1:58Speaker 1: out the studio to Lord knows what. All right, so
- 2:01Speaker 1: let's talk about the NFC South, y'all, because I'm sure
- 2:04Speaker 1: tons of you were watching that game last night. And
- 2:08Speaker 1: I thought it'd be a good game. Honestly, I thought
- 2:10Speaker 1: the thing might go down to the wire. It was,
- 2:12Speaker 1: I mean, for the saints, you got to shake your
- 2:14Speaker 1: head at them bone. It was the big anniversary game
- 2:18Speaker 1: from their first game, the huge win over the Falcons
- 2:21Speaker 1: with Steve Gleason, a block punt first game, post Katrina,
- 2:26Speaker 1: one of their greatest moments for the city and the saints.
- 2:30Speaker 1: And I just want to say this. I love Steve Gleason.
- 2:32Speaker 1: I don't love much about the saints, but, But I
- 2:34Speaker 1: love that man. And there's no white flags movement. He's
- 2:36Speaker 1: an absolute warrior fighting ALS. And, you know, I love
- 2:42Speaker 1: seeing him get love last night. But I couldn't help bone.
- 2:45Speaker 1: They had a big halftime concert where they had a
- 2:48Speaker 1: bunch of artists from New Orleans and then threw Eric
- 2:50Speaker 1: Church out there. Right. I saw multiple Panther fans complaining
- 2:54Speaker 1: that Eric Church was performing for the Saints. I thought
- 2:57Speaker 1: you were a Panther fan, Eric Church. But I don't know.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It was a special night there, and I guess he
- 3:01Speaker 1: wrote it. Well, he's already got the whole app Carolina
- 3:03Speaker 1: thing on his resume.
- 3:04Speaker 2: That is true. That is true. Do we trust the Chief?
- 3:07Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I guess he did an
- 3:09Speaker 2: album that was New Orleans themed. I don't know.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Y'all tell me if it's acceptable for old Chief to
- 3:13Speaker 1: be down there in New Orleans last night.
- 3:15Speaker 2: She's no hootie, by the way. But anyway, who is?
- 3:18Speaker 2: Who is?
- 3:19Speaker 1: But what we saw, Bone, was the Atlanta Falcons continue
- 3:22Speaker 1: this resurgence. They've gotten Pennix back, and they have been
- 3:26Speaker 1: a different team. Now, again, I'm not one that's buying
- 3:29Speaker 1: that they will continue to be a different team without Pennix,
- 3:32Speaker 1: but they ran all over New Orleans. It's their second
- 3:35Speaker 1: straight road route win for Atlanta. Bijan ran for 145.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Brian Robinson ran for 62 yards and three touchdowns. that 45-24,
- 3:46Speaker 1: you said it in the first hour, the combination, what
- 3:49Speaker 1: do they tell you, Bone, you have to do to
- 3:52Speaker 1: win football games? You got to run the ball and
- 3:54Speaker 1: play defense. They are doing neither of those things. So
- 3:58Speaker 1: the Saints now- You're right. I was saying the same thing.
- 4:00Speaker 3: It's so much on a young quarterback in Olave or
- 4:04Speaker 3: pretty much bust. It's those two guys for New Orleans.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Reminds me a couple of years ago, Mac, of- South Carolina,
- 4:10Speaker 3: when it was Rattler and Liget that last year there,
- 4:13Speaker 3: where it was like, if those two guys don't make
- 4:15Speaker 3: a big play down the field, they have nothing else
- 4:17Speaker 3: going on at all.
- 4:18Speaker 1: At all. And it sounds like it's going to be
- 4:20Speaker 1: a while until they get Jordan Tyson back. Johnson, the
- 4:24Speaker 1: tight end's pretty good, but yeah, it really is on
- 4:27Speaker 1: those two guys. And the pass protection was brutal last
- 4:30Speaker 1: night against Atlanta. So Shuck has all this weight on
- 4:33Speaker 1: his shoulders, and he's getting pressured and beat around.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Hmm, sounds familiar.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Sounds like something Bryce Young might be dealing with here
- 4:40Speaker 1: in Carolina. So the Falcons, though, now tie us on record. We,
- 4:44Speaker 1: of course, have the tiebreaker, so we're in first place
- 4:46Speaker 1: by virtue of of beating Atlanta. The Saints are 1-3,
- 4:50Speaker 1: and then the Bucs are all the way down there
- 4:52Speaker 1: 0-4 with Baker Mayfield hurt. So I want to ask
- 4:55Speaker 1: Panther fans, if you watched the game last night, how
- 4:58Speaker 1: do you feel about the division now? And is it now,
- 5:02Speaker 1: I think it's going to be popular thought that in
- 5:05Speaker 1: Pantherland that we should be the favorites to win this division.
- 5:08Speaker 1: All the issues we're having with injuries, Bone, you already
- 5:11Speaker 1: heard Canales talk about HN and Moten and Wharton being
- 5:15Speaker 1: close to coming back. Like, help is going to be
- 5:18Speaker 1: on the way here eventually. I just feel very assured
- 5:23Speaker 1: in the fact that I think we're favorites to win
- 5:26Speaker 1: this division, Bone, despite the barrage of injuries.
- 5:28Speaker 2: I think we should be.
- 5:29Speaker 3: I'm going Panthers for a lot of the reasons that
- 5:32Speaker 3: you mentioned there. The Falcons, hey, there's no doubt they
- 5:36Speaker 3: are playing better football. And I think that the shift
- 5:39Speaker 3: of the NFC South the last couple weeks has gone
- 5:41Speaker 3: from early season, oh, Tampa's going to be the team. Well,
- 5:45Speaker 3: they're out of there. Oh, New Orleans looks like they're
- 5:47Speaker 3: going to be the team. Well, they've got some problems.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Now Atlanta's figured some things out. Heavy run, playing better defense.
- 5:54Speaker 3: But I think the word help is the most important
- 5:57Speaker 3: thing there. The Panthers do have help along the way,
- 6:00Speaker 3: whether it be, you know, soon or down the line,
- 6:03Speaker 3: Horn and Mike Jack and the offensive line. The Falcons
- 6:07Speaker 3: are not getting Walker back. Pierce is back like way
- 6:10Speaker 3: later on, right? Like what?
- 6:12Speaker 2: Mid-season?
- 6:13Speaker 3: Mid-season or so. That'll help them out. But I feel
- 6:15Speaker 3: like the Panthers are getting a lot more help. I
- 6:18Speaker 3: trust Bryce Young. to now win football games more than
- 6:23Speaker 3: Penix is. I think Penix is going to be asked
- 6:25Speaker 3: to sort of manage it a little bit here. Don't
- 6:27Speaker 3: mess it up. And look at the way the Panthers
- 6:30Speaker 3: played the Falcons in the, in the first game. I
- 6:32Speaker 3: know Pennix didn't play, but he played last year when
- 6:35Speaker 3: the Panthers blew their doors off. The Panthers play well
- 6:38Speaker 3: against Atlanta. Bryce plays well against Atlanta. I think that, yeah,
- 6:41Speaker 3: the Falcons may be better than we thought a couple
- 6:44Speaker 3: of weeks ago when they got blown out by the Panthers,
- 6:47Speaker 3: but I think there's still a step behind the Panthers
- 6:49Speaker 3: and their schedule. As we mentioned, our number one, The Falcons'
- 6:52Speaker 3: next seven, eight games. It's a lot of home games,
- 6:56Speaker 3: but it's a lot of tough teams. Yeah, it sounds
- 6:59Speaker 3: like it. They're playing similar teams to the Panthers, but
- 7:03Speaker 3: theirs feels like they're really jumbled up there.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I think you said the key there. Two words why
- 7:08Speaker 1: we should be the favorite to win the division now.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Bryce Young. Because we have the best quarterback in the
- 7:14Speaker 1: division now. I didn't say that, Bone, in the past.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I gave that honor to Baker Mayfield in the past.
- 7:21Speaker 1: I deferred to Baker Mayfield as much as I thought
- 7:23Speaker 1: Bryce was improving in past years. This version of Bryce,
- 7:27Speaker 1: the version of Baker we saw in the first few games,
- 7:30Speaker 1: the fact that Baker's hurt. And this Penix stuff, like
- 7:33Speaker 1: we got a text in the first hour from a
- 7:35Speaker 1: Falcons fan that is like, our QB's back and we
- 7:38Speaker 1: look like the best in the division. And it's like,
- 7:42Speaker 1: you look much better. I have to give you credit
- 7:44Speaker 1: for that. But you said it, Bone. We've seen Penix before.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Bryce still owns that matchup, even when Penix plays. I
- 7:52Speaker 1: don't view that.
- 7:53Speaker 2: As any reason.
- 7:54Speaker 1: I think Penix is going to look like Penix here
- 7:57Speaker 1: in the near future.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I've got to be honest with you.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Especially if he's asked to go out there and be
- 8:01Speaker 3: the dominant force of the offense. If the Robinsons aren't
- 8:05Speaker 3: running well for a game, although it's hard to see
- 8:07Speaker 3: Bijon not. I mean, the Panthers did a good job
- 8:09Speaker 3: against Bijon. If it's on Penix to make the plays...
- 8:12Speaker 3: That's not what they're going to want to do. Also,
- 8:14Speaker 3: Bryce owned Mac, the Falcons, when he was mediocre, Bryce.
- 8:18Speaker 3: Now we're getting Bryce at this high level. What's he
- 8:22Speaker 3: going to do to Atlanta? And also, just because Penix
- 8:24Speaker 3: is in there right now, we know with his situation there,
- 8:28Speaker 3: never root for that. But there's no sure thing that
- 8:30Speaker 3: Penix is going to play for long stretches either. That's
- 8:33Speaker 3: another point, too. I don't think he will play. I
- 8:35Speaker 3: think he'll have bad games. I think he will be,
- 8:38Speaker 3: you know, revealed to be the same guy that struggled
- 8:41Speaker 3: in the past. But you bring up the point, too.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Is he going to stay injured? Health is never assumed
- 8:45Speaker 3: with Pennix. The guy's torn his ACL three times on
- 8:48Speaker 3: different knees.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right. All three knees, right, Bone, have torn
- 8:51Speaker 2: his ACL. The guy's got three knees. He's torn them all. 7-0-4, 5-7-0-9-6-10.
- 8:54Speaker 1: What did y'all think watching last night? Are the Falcons,
- 9:00Speaker 1: like this texter says, could we at least say the
- 9:02Speaker 1: Falcons are now the top contender and our biggest fear?
- 9:05Speaker 1: I would say yes. I don't know what to think, man.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I don't know what to think. I thought the Saints
- 9:10Speaker 1: after the first couple weeks, Bone, looked to beat apart.
- 9:13Speaker 1: They're injured on defense. I know Panther fans are rolling
- 9:16Speaker 1: their eyes when I bring up someone else's injuries, but
- 9:19Speaker 1: they're missing, um, Caden Ellis and Warner linebacker.
- 9:21Speaker 2: They're missing two D linemen. And it showed last night
- 9:24Speaker 2: against the run. Um, I don't know. It's hard for
- 9:29Speaker 2: me to take the Falcons that serious.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I mean, I have to take them more seriously because
- 9:34Speaker 1: they did just go on the road to green Bay
- 9:35Speaker 1: and new Orleans and absolutely shred them. It's hard for
- 9:39Speaker 1: me bone to After seeing the Falcons, albeit without penance,
- 9:44Speaker 1: but this isn't Matt Ryan they're getting back. It's hard
- 9:48Speaker 1: for me to take them fully seriously. I also don't
- 9:53Speaker 1: want to discount the Saints, although HN's on IR. Kamara just,
- 9:59Speaker 1: I thought he looked confused. of old a couple of
- 10:00Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah. He got banged up again last night.
- 10:05Speaker 1: I don't know, man. This has to be our division, man.
- 10:08Speaker 1: This has to be our damn division. Is it possible
- 10:11Speaker 1: that we just fear no man? That these teams are
- 10:15Speaker 1: all going to have their ups and downs, but the
- 10:17Speaker 1: Panthers just should not fear any of them?
- 10:20Speaker 4: I'd love to be in that headspace. I'd love to
- 10:24Speaker 4: be there. You've got the best quarterback, and I think
- 10:28Speaker 4: that's the difference.
- 10:30Speaker 5: Last year, you didn't know.
- 10:31Speaker 4: If Bryce was the best quarterback in the division, and
- 10:34Speaker 4: maybe he wasn't. Maybe Baker was still a better quarterback. Mack,
- 10:38Speaker 4: even if Baker Mayfield comes back, gets healthy. I think
- 10:40Speaker 4: Bryce right now, better quarterback Bryce, better than Pennix and
- 10:44Speaker 4: Bryce has been better than Tyler Shug. And that's the
- 10:47Speaker 4: difference is I trust our guy more than the other
- 10:50Speaker 4: three quarterbacks in, in this division. We've got to start
- 10:55Speaker 4: playing at a consistent level of football though.
- 10:58Speaker 5: Like if we keep doing this, win one, lose one,
- 11:01Speaker 5: win one, lose one.
- 11:02Speaker 4: We may be finding ourselves in a situation like we
- 11:04Speaker 4: were last year where We were having to need help
- 11:07Speaker 4: to win a division that we should probably outright win.
- 11:09Speaker 2: I do want to say this.
- 11:10Speaker 1: We could literally win one, lose one, go 8-9, and
- 11:12Speaker 1: possibly win this division. But we want to make progress,
- 11:16Speaker 1: and we want to become consistent, and we want to
- 11:18Speaker 1: stop messing around. That's the next step for this team.
- 11:24Speaker 1: But I look around in this division, and... I just,
- 11:28Speaker 1: I think this should be ours. I don't want to
- 11:31Speaker 1: jinx it. People are afraid I'm jinxing Bryce during this segment.
- 11:34Speaker 1: People are afraid I'm jinxing the Panthers. And people now,
- 11:37Speaker 1: there's a text that says... God, people live afraid. Live
- 11:39Speaker 1: a little bit, all right?
- 11:40Speaker 2: This text... My God, what's Mac done wrong?
- 11:44Speaker 1: Don't answer that, all right? Do I have a track
- 11:45Speaker 1: record or something of this sort of thing? What has
- 11:48Speaker 1: Mac ever led you astray? 704-5709-6. 704 number says Mac
- 11:53Speaker 1: is reverse cursing Pennix. This dude's going to win MVP
- 11:56Speaker 1: the way Mac's talking about him. Uh, English Paul says,
- 11:59Speaker 1: isn't Mac talking about Pennix and the way he hated
- 12:02Speaker 1: people talking about Bryce?
- 12:04Speaker 2: Um, does Pennix, I don't know. Does he deserve to
- 12:07Speaker 2: be talked about any other way?
- 12:08Speaker 1: Yeah. What, what, what are you supposed to be talking about? Like,
- 12:11Speaker 1: I like, I don't, I don't understand what he's trying
- 12:16Speaker 1: to say about that. Like, I don't think he's a
- 12:19Speaker 1: very good quarterback. I think the running game has gone
- 12:22Speaker 1: crazy the last two weeks, and I think he's been
- 12:24Speaker 1: in his comfort zone. And he also has Drake London
- 12:27Speaker 1: to throw to, and I think the defense he played
- 12:29Speaker 1: last night was pathetic. That was an absolutely pathetic performance
- 12:34Speaker 1: by the Saints defense, and they are wounded, too. It
- 12:36Speaker 1: does need to be said. But are we all of
- 12:39Speaker 1: a sudden now thinking that Michael... Pennix is Matt Ryan
- 12:42Speaker 1: during his MVP season? How are we supposed to be
- 12:44Speaker 1: treating Michael Pennix?
- 12:45Speaker 3: He's going to be asked to essentially manage the game,
- 12:49Speaker 3: get the ball to London when needed, and hand the
- 12:50Speaker 3: ball to the Robinsons. Now, the run game, like you said,
- 12:53Speaker 3: the run game is ridiculous. You said how the schedule
- 12:56Speaker 3: gets tougher here. What happens when Kansas City's up 14
- 12:58Speaker 3: on them?
- 13:00Speaker 1: What happens when they're down 10 points early? That's the thing.
- 13:04Speaker 1: What happens when somebody shuts down your run game? When
- 13:06Speaker 1: they play Minnesota and their run game is taken away.
- 13:09Speaker 1: And they're blitzing the crap out of Penix. Is he
- 13:11Speaker 1: going to hold up? And pardon me, if we have
- 13:14Speaker 1: a quarterback playing like a top five quarterback in the NFL,
- 13:17Speaker 1: if I don't want to fawn over Michael freaking Penix. Like,
- 13:21Speaker 1: pardon me the way Bryce is playing that I don't
- 13:23Speaker 1: want to sit there and say, oh my God, we
- 13:25Speaker 1: haven't played them with Pennix yet this year. We shut
- 13:27Speaker 1: his ass out 30 to nothing. Threw the ball to
- 13:30Speaker 1: the wrong damn team for a touchdown last year.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Horrendous pick six.
- 13:33Speaker 4: A morning guy in Atlanta called one of the worst
- 13:36Speaker 4: draft picks of all time a few weeks ago when
- 13:38Speaker 4: we played him.
- 13:40Speaker 2: In week two. And that's sad.
- 13:41Speaker 4: The own city doesn't even believe in Michael Penix Jr.
- 13:44Speaker 2: And we're supposed to sit here and believe in him?
- 13:46Speaker 3: For a morning radio host to just not believe in
- 13:49Speaker 3: the quarterback like that and say he's one of the
- 13:50Speaker 3: worst of all time?
- 13:52Speaker 2: Get out of here. Who would do such a thing?
- 13:54Speaker 2: What a jerk. He shouldn't even be on the radio.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Who would do such a thing?
- 13:57Speaker 3: By the way, my apologies once again to Bryce Young
- 13:59Speaker 3: for what I said a few years ago. I didn't
- 14:02Speaker 3: mean to compare you to Sam Bowie. I got caught
- 14:03Speaker 3: up in the moment, all right?
- 14:04Speaker 4: And I probably shouldn't have promoted it for two months.
- 14:07Speaker 4: That was bad producing on me. When we're up against it,
- 14:10Speaker 4: you love to promo those things. Fights, bad moments. It
- 14:14Speaker 4: wasn't just your promo. It was a station promo.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Station promo um bone got high pitched on that one
- 14:22Speaker 1: there 704 number says am i the only panther fan
- 14:25Speaker 1: listening to the way mac's talking and because it's mac
- 14:28Speaker 1: and is worried i went this is the theme of
- 14:31Speaker 1: the segment everything i say i'm scaring him scaring the
- 14:33Speaker 1: city to death he says um i just have a
- 14:36Speaker 1: hard time believing bryce can continue to play at this
- 14:39Speaker 1: level okay so he drops down and he's the eighth
- 14:41Speaker 1: best quarterback ninth but you know what i mean like
- 14:43Speaker 1: that's the thing oh he.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Falls off his 5 300 yard.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Pace yeah yeah he doesn't set the all-time yardage record
- 14:50Speaker 1: like i'm sorry man i've seen enough to believe bone
- 14:53Speaker 1: this is the evolved bryce this is where bryce has
- 14:57Speaker 1: grown to be this is bryce under idzik as coordinator
- 15:01Speaker 1: i'm not saying bone they're gonna put up 30 points
- 15:03Speaker 1: average 30 points for entire all that stuff But what
- 15:05Speaker 1: I am saying is, I don't see him going back
- 15:09Speaker 1: to the inconsistent Bryce Young bone that would have the
- 15:13Speaker 1: stretches and the amount of, eh, type of games like
- 15:18Speaker 1: he's had.
- 15:19Speaker 2: In the past.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Mac, I had my friend Little Doyle yesterday. I had
- 15:23Speaker 3: him count up the amount of here's a guys.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Who?
- 15:26Speaker 2: Little Doyle. Little Doyle. Yeah, listen to the neighborhood. Listen
- 15:29Speaker 2: to the show. Shout out Little Doyle. Okay.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Little Doyle was counting up the amount of here's a
- 15:34Speaker 3: guys from Chris Collinsworth.
- 15:35Speaker 2: To Bryce Young.
- 15:36Speaker 3: He had 11 here's a guys. When you get 11
- 15:39Speaker 3: here's a guys, you're.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Not falling off the map. That's when you know you're balling, baby.
- 15:42Speaker 2: What's up, Fit?
- 15:43Speaker 1: What's up with you asking about Little Doyle, by the way?
- 15:45Speaker 1: That was a very interesting name I had never heard before.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I didn't know who this was. I thought we hired
- 15:51Speaker 1: an intern around here or something. Fitty, what you got?
- 15:54Speaker 1: What's going on over there?
- 15:55Speaker 5: All right, Max.
- 15:55Speaker 4: So two years ago, you had the Bryce Young stats
- 15:58Speaker 4: for the final 10 games.
- 15:59Speaker 5: Last year, it was the last eight.
- 16:01Speaker 4: We got this tweet yesterday from the Panthers football communications account.
- 16:06Speaker 4: After Sunday night's game, Bryce Young has passed for 250 yards,
- 16:11Speaker 4: a touchdown with less than one interception in six straight
- 16:16Speaker 4: games dating back to last year, including the playoffs. That's
- 16:19Speaker 4: the longest such streak in the history of the franchise
- 16:22Speaker 4: and is the longest active streak in the National Football League.
- 16:27Speaker 4: For all these people that wonder, well, is he going
- 16:30Speaker 4: to regress?
- 16:32Speaker 1: No.
- 16:32Speaker 2: This is who he is.
- 16:33Speaker 4: This is who Bryce Bleepin' Young is. Either get on board,
- 16:37Speaker 4: turn in your frickin' fan card, man.
- 16:40Speaker 1: That's your quarterback.
- 16:42Speaker 5: Get him, baby! We had ten games of data. We
- 16:45Speaker 5: had eight games of data. Now we got six games
- 16:48Speaker 5: of data.
- 16:49Speaker 2: We got our guy. Here's the thing, Fit. I was
- 16:51Speaker 2: thinking about this this morning.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Why is it so hard for some people to believe
- 16:55Speaker 1: that Bryce has grown and evolved into this quarterback?
- 16:58Speaker 5: Because he's still 5'9.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Bone. I guess that's what it is.
- 17:01Speaker 1: We got a text yesterday. Didn't you see him, though,
- 17:06Speaker 1: playing on his tippy toes? Dude, we knew this since
- 17:08Speaker 1: he was drafted. I don't care, Bone, if he's floating
- 17:11Speaker 1: and levitating in the air and throwing passes, if he
- 17:14Speaker 1: plays like he did the other night.
- 17:16Speaker 3: I didn't watch Drew Brees torch the Panthers, Mac, for
- 17:18Speaker 3: a decade and a half and think to myself, self,
- 17:21Speaker 3: I would love to have Drew Brees, but.
- 17:23Speaker 1: He throws off his tippy toes. It's just not right.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Do the passes not count, Bone?
- 17:27Speaker 2: Is it a penalty? They call it back?
- 17:29Speaker 3: Remember how many times Drew Breesmack on the slow modes
- 17:31Speaker 3: would be on his tiptoes and looking up with his
- 17:33Speaker 3: head in the air trying to see over? Well, guess what?
- 17:36Speaker 3: He's one of the best quarterbacks of all time. So
- 17:38Speaker 3: who cares about that part?
- 17:40Speaker 2: It's weird.
- 17:41Speaker 1: It's a weird statement there. But I was thinking about this, Bone.
- 17:45Speaker 1: You look at Bryce. How many quarterbacks have we seen, Bone,
- 17:48Speaker 1: that it takes a while, they bounce around, Darnold, Mayfield,
- 17:51Speaker 1: and then they find their spot? Well, for Bryce Youngbone,
- 17:54Speaker 1: it took time, but it was with the same organization.
- 17:57Speaker 1: He had to get the right coach, and now he's
- 17:59Speaker 1: got the right head coach, but he had to get
- 18:01Speaker 1: maybe the right coordinator, right, is Brad Idzik. So it
- 18:04Speaker 1: feels like things are falling into place. The game has
- 18:07Speaker 1: slowed down, and he's now in charge, and he is
- 18:10Speaker 1: now in command. And I don't see any way there
- 18:14Speaker 1: is any huge regression bone or any long stretches of
- 18:19Speaker 1: rough performances the way the most pressure quarterback in the
- 18:22Speaker 1: nfl but yet has the most yards in the nfl
- 18:25Speaker 1: and is the number two highest graded quarterback on pff
- 18:29Speaker 1: despite being the most pressure quarterback i'm sorry look at
- 18:33Speaker 1: all the duress and look at all the dang crap
- 18:36Speaker 1: he's having to deal with and he's excelling y'all.
- 18:39Speaker 3: When we come back it's what the bleep stories in
- 18:41Speaker 3: sports and in life that make us say what the
- 18:43Speaker 3: bleep mac Charlotte made the headlines. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. Oh, the text line is feisty
- 19:10Speaker 1: bone about Bryce Young.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Tons of people. I would say the majority.
- 19:13Speaker 1: I want everybody to know it's the majority of people
- 19:16Speaker 1: are like, hell yeah, we got our quarterback. This texter says,
- 19:20Speaker 1: give Bryce Young the bag. Another one, Bryce Young overcoming adversity.
- 19:24Speaker 1: This is what we've been waiting to see from him.
- 19:27Speaker 2: You're right.
- 19:28Speaker 1: We've been waiting to see a quarterback that, you know,
- 19:31Speaker 1: we've been waiting to see– you know, Bryce be able,
- 19:34Speaker 1: I shouldn't even say we were waiting. Cause I kind
- 19:36Speaker 1: of didn't know if Bryce would ever get to the
- 19:37Speaker 1: point bone where he would be able to lift everybody
- 19:40Speaker 1: up around him. I kind of thought, Hey, you'd put
- 19:43Speaker 1: him in there. You'd have a well-oiled machine and he
- 19:46Speaker 1: would run that well-oiled machine, but there's no doubt with
- 19:48Speaker 1: all the injuries on the old until the receiving core
- 19:51Speaker 1: and all the pressure he's facing that he is literally
- 19:54Speaker 1: lifting this team up right now man do.
- 19:56Speaker 3: You think mac they'll ever be a karen that writes
- 19:58Speaker 3: a letter to the editor about bryce's on-field behavior they
- 20:01Speaker 3: don't like his first down.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Point You think Tennessee mom.
- 20:04Speaker 3: His vicious first down point that he does?
- 20:06Speaker 2: You think Tennessee mom right now is at the computer
- 20:08Speaker 2: typing it up? Trying to figure out when do they
- 20:10Speaker 2: go to Tennessee again. The first down point.
- 20:15Speaker 3: That has to be the most non-threatening first down celebration.
- 20:17Speaker 3: I can't believe the way he behaves himself by pointing
- 20:19Speaker 3: down the field that way. That is the most non-threatening
- 20:22Speaker 3: first down. It's such a subtle little point to him.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Little two fingers just... I think you do that in
- 20:27Speaker 3: one of your dances.
- 20:29Speaker 1: We got to start working that in, baby. I did
- 20:32Speaker 1: work in a new entrance on the Victory Dance, if
- 20:34Speaker 1: y'all want to check that out.
- 20:35Speaker 2: That got Walker Mayo excited.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Walker Mayo doesn't want to be credited being the executive
- 20:41Speaker 3: producer of the dances, but.
- 20:43Speaker 1: He's got some input on these things. He's a viewer, though, baby.
- 20:46Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it.
- 20:48Speaker 2: All right.
- 20:48Speaker 1: Check it out on all our socials, my Twitter, Bones' Twitter, WFNZ's.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Check out the latest victory dance where we embarrass ourselves
- 20:57Speaker 1: in the name of celebrating the Panthers. All right. Let's
- 21:01Speaker 1: do some what the bleep here, Bones. Story sound bites
- 21:05Speaker 1: that make us say what the bleep, and we laugh
- 21:08Speaker 1: at people.
- 21:08Speaker 3: So what do you got, Boney? Mac, this is scary
- 21:10Speaker 3: that Florida man is branching out. he found the state
- 21:14Speaker 3: of Wyoming. Never knew that existed in Florida Man's world.
- 21:18Speaker 3: A 43-year-old Florida man was arrested in Natrona County, Wyoming,
- 21:23Speaker 3: for driving under the influence. When pulled over by a
- 21:26Speaker 3: sheriff's deputy with an open bottle of liquor, the man
- 21:29Speaker 3: claimed he was driving around... searching for NFL quarterback and
- 21:34Speaker 3: former Wyoming.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Star Josh Allen. His goal was to find.
- 21:39Speaker 3: The Bills star and to pitch him on the idea
- 21:42Speaker 3: of leaving the Bills for his beloved Dallas Cowboys. The
- 21:47Speaker 3: man flew a. 23, and he was jailed. He did
- 21:51Speaker 3: not find Josh Allen, but he remains a fan of
- 21:54Speaker 3: his Dallas Cowboys.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Mac, how did we get.
- 21:57Speaker 3: How did Florida Man... Did he drive all the way
- 21:59Speaker 3: out there just to look for Josh Allen?
- 22:01Speaker 2: I guess... It sounds crazy, but... This is Florida man here.
- 22:04Speaker 1: I got to tell you, bro, that is drunk and
- 22:07Speaker 1: crazy even by Cowboy fan standards.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I mean, that's Florida man and a Cowboy fan.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Usually the Cowboy fans just get tanked and talk about
- 22:15Speaker 1: the 90s, bro. This guy got tanked and thought he
- 22:17Speaker 1: was going to recruit Josh Allen.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Also, I know we don't want to delve too much
- 22:21Speaker 3: into the man's plan, but where was he going to
- 22:24Speaker 3: see Josh Allen in Wyoming in October? If you want
- 22:28Speaker 3: to go find your guy there, sir, go to Buffalo.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Yeah, you might need to be in Buffalo. And trust me,
- 22:33Speaker 2: there's plenty of beer for you up there as well.
- 22:35Speaker 5: Oh, man.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Bone, I hate to do this. I have to what
- 22:39Speaker 1: the bleep your Jets, Bone. I have to what the
- 22:41Speaker 1: bleep your Jets. Their Twitter account, Bone, tweeted out the
- 22:44Speaker 1: other day the game log, you know, where they list
- 22:47Speaker 1: the plays, you know, play-by-play log or whatever. They listed
- 22:51Speaker 1: four plays in a row. They were four run plays
- 22:53Speaker 1: that gained a total of 26 yards. The Jets tweeted
- 22:57Speaker 1: out four straight plays, 26 yards, and included the four
- 23:02Speaker 1: plays on the play-by-play sheet. What kind of flex is that, Jets? Congratulations.
- 23:07Speaker 1: You ran the ball four times and gained 26 yards.
- 23:10Speaker 1: You averaged seven and a half points of play for
- 23:13Speaker 1: a four-play stretch. How the heck is that tweet brag-worthy, Bone?
- 23:17Speaker 1: What the bleep are they doing, admin? What's going on
- 23:20Speaker 1: over there? I understand what you're saying, but this is
- 23:23Speaker 1: the Jets. That was good work. Yeah, you know, now
- 23:27Speaker 1: that you put it that way, Bone, there have been
- 23:29Speaker 1: Panther teams, you know what I mean, in the past.
- 23:32Speaker 2: We won't mention any names.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Frank Reichman rule, where that would be an accomplishment, too. Yeah,
- 23:38Speaker 1: we call that moving the football. That's like the Ken
- 23:42Speaker 1: O'Brien years, just slinging it. I'm like, this was really
- 23:45Speaker 1: a tweet? All right, anyway, bless their heart.
- 23:48Speaker 3: Mac, a Georgia man, you're listening to What the Bleep
- 23:50Speaker 3: on Sports Radio 92.7. A Georgia man was arrested after
- 23:56Speaker 3: allegedly faking a medical emergency and calling 911 to avoid
- 24:01Speaker 3: paying his $ 63 bill at Red Lobster.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Ha!
- 24:06Speaker 3: The incident took place on September 24th at a Red
- 24:09Speaker 3: Lobster in Douglasville, Georgia. According to the affidavit, the man
- 24:13Speaker 3: was claiming medical crisis. Here's what Georgia man Mack didn't
- 24:18Speaker 3: really account for. He didn't want to pay the $ 63.
- 24:20Speaker 3: So he ends up in jail with a $ 3, 000 bond.
- 24:26Speaker 3: You might want to go and just enjoy your meal,
- 24:28Speaker 3: get your cheddar biscuits.
- 24:30Speaker 2: $ 63.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Now, it doesn't look so bad, does it, Douglasville, Georgia? Yeah,
- 24:33Speaker 1: his math ain't mathin', in hindsight. I do respect, though,
- 24:36Speaker 1: the attempt. I do respect the game and the thought of,
- 24:40Speaker 1: can I get out of a food bill here? Also,
- 24:44Speaker 1: but he deserves to be what the bleep for the
- 24:47Speaker 1: judgment and the way that played out financially.
- 24:49Speaker 2: I will say that.
- 24:50Speaker 1: It reminds me of the time, Bone, that Mrs. Mack
- 24:53Speaker 1: and Caitlin, our daughter... went out of town, I think,
- 24:56Speaker 1: to visit her parents. Or it might have been when
- 24:57Speaker 1: they went down to Universal in Orlando. And Aiden and
- 25:01Speaker 1: I went out to dinner. I said, we're going all out, baby.
- 25:04Speaker 1: We going to Red Lobster. And we got all these
- 25:07Speaker 1: crab legs and spent like $ 130. And Mrs. Mack saw
- 25:11Speaker 1: the bill and was like, why did you guys need
- 25:14Speaker 1: to spend a hundred? You couldn't just go to Bojangles
- 25:16Speaker 1: or something and pick up dinner. I got in trouble, Bo,
- 25:19Speaker 1: for spending a buck 30 at Red Lobster, man.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Two guys bonding over one of the great meals you
- 25:24Speaker 3: can have. Authentic fresh seafood with cheddar biscuits.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Get out of here, Mrs.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Mack.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Let my men live. See how cheap the McLean family is?
- 25:31Speaker 4: $ 130 was a big inquest, man.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Oh, God. I got a what to believe. That is
- 25:38Speaker 2: a heavy pillar. It is kind of, especially like it
- 25:41Speaker 2: wasn't necessary. But I don't know. He didn't really even
- 25:44Speaker 2: eat that much there? Oh, yeah.
- 25:45Speaker 1: He was dipping that stuff in butter, dude. And he
- 25:48Speaker 1: was young at the time. I got him started young
- 25:50Speaker 1: with the seafood. All right. Anyway, I've got to bleep
- 25:55Speaker 1: an Iowa high school teacher named Stephanie Malali bone. She
- 25:59Speaker 1: has been fired because she got caught offering students extra
- 26:02Speaker 1: credit in their grades in return for cash donations to
- 26:07Speaker 1: her personal GoFundMe account.
- 26:09Speaker 2: How shameless is this, by the way?
- 26:12Speaker 1: So she is a teacher at Clinton Community High School
- 26:16Speaker 1: in Iowa, told students last spring that she had set
- 26:20Speaker 1: up a GoFundMe page to raise money for what she
- 26:22Speaker 1: described as, quote, personal education goals. She allegedly told her
- 26:27Speaker 1: students she set up the fundraiser to help pay for
- 26:29Speaker 1: her education, adding that if they made cash donations to
- 26:33Speaker 1: her account, they could earn extra credit towards their grade.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Kids then started doing it.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Donations, she allegedly wrote, would be used for her transportation,
- 26:42Speaker 1: including flight flights. buses boats food and hotel accommodations why
- 26:48Speaker 1: the hell do the kids have to pay for all
- 26:50Speaker 1: this stuff what was the name of her college back

- 27:07Speaker 1: be asking like hey where'd that money you know what
- 27:10Speaker 1: i mean That was as doomed from the start as
- 27:13Speaker 1: the Red Lobster guys playing, Bo.
- 27:16Speaker 3: When I was a young lad, we gave the teacher
- 27:18Speaker 3: apples and said, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Now,
- 27:22Speaker 3: what are these kids doing now, man?
- 27:23Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Apples don't work anymore? You got to
- 27:26Speaker 2: have money? How about fruit? Fruit worked in the 90s.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Max Charlotte has gone viral because two men were stopped
- 27:34Speaker 3: and charged by CMPD after driving a makeshift motorized couch
- 27:40Speaker 3: down South Tryon Street last week. The viral incident involved
- 27:44Speaker 3: a two-seater love seat balanced across two Lime Electric scooters. Matt,
- 27:51Speaker 3: we saw the video there. I don't think these guys
- 27:54Speaker 3: should be arrested. They should be praised for getting a
- 27:58Speaker 3: couch to move down the street like that.
- 28:00Speaker 2: That's one of your goals. Yeah, I was jealous when
- 28:02Speaker 2: I saw it. Imagine going from the doghouse, Matt, and
- 28:04Speaker 2: finding these guys and giving them a ride back.
- 28:05Speaker 1: I was jealous when I saw this. You mean to
- 28:07Speaker 1: tell me I could sit on my couch, watch Ball Bone,
- 28:11Speaker 1: and then... fire up the motor of my couch, and
- 28:14Speaker 1: just drive it right on.
- 28:16Speaker 2: In to WFNZ? Are you kidding me, man?
- 28:18Speaker 3: If I saw Matt getting a ride back from the
- 28:20Speaker 3: Panthers game on a couch, I'd say this is the
- 28:22Speaker 3: greatest moment I've ever seen in my life.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Please tell me the couch guys, the driving the couch guys, Bone,
- 28:28Speaker 1: either listen to the show or people that know them
- 28:30Speaker 1: listen to the show.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Because we need to find these guys. I need to
- 28:33Speaker 2: hop on that couch one day.
- 28:35Speaker 3: Honestly, we know that there's golf cart rides to the stadium.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Someone that can do that with a couch can make
- 28:40Speaker 3: some money off of that. You sit on the couch
- 28:41Speaker 3: and ride to the stadium. That's a good point. They
- 28:43Speaker 3: have all the carts down there.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be cool? A little twist.
- 28:45Speaker 5: You got a couch you're riding there.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Now they'd be like, hey, we got a guy here.
- 28:49Speaker 2: He's not leaving the couch. They'd be like, is it
- 28:52Speaker 2: Chris McClain? He's actually got his shoes off right now.
- 28:57Speaker 1: I'm going to put a dang butt indent on that
- 28:59Speaker 1: couch the way I have a couch at the house.
- 29:01Speaker 2: No lie. There is a butt indent. CMPD. Don't arrest
- 29:04Speaker 2: people like that. Praise those guys. I've got a what
- 29:07Speaker 2: to bleep. A couple of them.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Although they took off on the couch, though, too. Okay, okay.
- 29:11Speaker 1: I got a what the bleep, a couple of NFL officials, Bone.
- 29:15Speaker 1: A lot of people have probably seen the story. You
- 29:17Speaker 1: have Jeff Seaman, who is the dude that was cussing
- 29:22Speaker 1: at Trey McBride. FU yelling that out to Trey McBride, Bone,
- 29:27Speaker 1: in the middle of the game the other day. He's
- 29:29Speaker 1: been suspended for two games. Adrian Hill suspended one game.
- 29:33Speaker 1: He was the referee. This one was a little less viral.
- 29:36Speaker 1: He's the referee that got accidentally knocked down by a
- 29:40Speaker 1: Vikings player. The Vikings player goes over to help him up.
- 29:43Speaker 1: He gets up pointing in the face and screaming at
- 29:46Speaker 1: this dude that just accidentally bumped into him. Referees, this
- 29:50Speaker 1: is about the millionth time I've had to tell you,
- 29:52Speaker 1: you don't matter. You are simply just there to be
- 29:55Speaker 1: a caretaker of the game. I know many of you
- 29:58Speaker 1: have egos like you the damn star quarterback. but you
- 30:01Speaker 1: do not matter. If you have an ego, if you
- 30:05Speaker 1: want attention, if you want to scream obscenities at players,
- 30:09Speaker 1: you are in the wrong damn profession. What the bleep
- 30:12Speaker 1: are we doing, Bone? That referee, your man Seaman, that
- 30:16Speaker 1: dude should be fired, Bone. He should not just get
- 30:19Speaker 1: a two-game suspension. You F-bomb at a player, you should
- 30:22Speaker 1: be freaking fired. You guys all right over there?
- 30:26Speaker 5: Mac, nobody likes when semen gets suspended.
- 30:29Speaker 2: That's the guy's name, man. I can't help what his
- 30:31Speaker 2: name is. Why are you all over there laughing? His
- 30:32Speaker 2: first name was Jeff, you said? Yeah, yeah. I'd like
- 30:34Speaker 2: to call him Jeff. Okay, you want to just go
- 30:36Speaker 2: with Jeff? Okay, we can go with Jeff. I don't
- 30:37Speaker 2: want to call him Jeff. I don't really. You can't
- 30:41Speaker 2: have an ego. You can't be short-fused, and you have
- 30:43Speaker 2: to have thick skin to be.
- 30:45Speaker 1: 100 all that stuff man but it's too many of
- 30:48Speaker 1: these dudes that want to be seen on tv like
- 30:50Speaker 1: tv teddy valentine on the hoops like it's not about
- 30:53Speaker 1: you referees seriously uh.
- 30:57Speaker 3: We're gonna get still stuck on the guy's name we're
- 30:59Speaker 3: gonna we're gonna go to lee county florida mac for
- 31:03Speaker 3: the last story are you familiar with the work of
- 31:06Speaker 3: cheyenne hayman they do No, I'm curious, though. She's 24.
- 31:11Speaker 3: She was arrested by Lee County deputies following a public
- 31:15Speaker 3: disturbance outside a Waffle House at Morse Shores Plaza. She
- 31:20Speaker 3: walked up to a random man, threatened to punch him,
- 31:24Speaker 3: and then exposed her body parts to this man standing
- 31:26Speaker 3: outside Waffle House. Miss Hammond Nadeau has been arrested for
- 31:30Speaker 3: indecent exposure outside Waffle House. They call that in Lee County,
- 31:36Speaker 3: Tuesday night at the Waffle House.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to tell you, I'm not shocked. I'm
- 31:40Speaker 1: amused by the story. But that tracks. Having been at
- 31:43Speaker 1: Waffle Houses in Florida when I lived there, that absolutely tracks.
- 31:47Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it.
- 31:48Speaker 3: Walked up to a random guy standing there, threatened to
- 31:50Speaker 3: punch him and showed her body parts.
- 31:51Speaker 2: I just realized you could play– well, actually, it's too
- 31:53Speaker 2: early to play it.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Why would I advocate drinking at this hour?
- 31:56Speaker 2: What kind of influence am I?
- 31:57Speaker 1: But you could play a fun game, Bone, to the
- 32:00Speaker 1: Mac and Bone What the Bleep.
- 32:02Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 32:03Speaker 1: You could at least play a little What the Bleep bingo.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I feel like we could create a What the Bleep
- 32:07Speaker 1: bingo card. Florida Waffle House and Cowboy fans are often
- 32:11Speaker 1: somewhere in the mix.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Oh, man.
- 32:14Speaker 3: And Mac also saying the last name of somebody that
- 32:17Speaker 3: we don't know what to do with.
- 32:19Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I didn't even think about that name.
- 32:22Speaker 1: I thought if I wanted to give props to Efton Chisholm,
- 32:27Speaker 1: the third, the guy that had the one handed game
- 32:29Speaker 1: winning catch.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. For New England.
- 32:32Speaker 1: I thought that was the name you two were going
- 32:34Speaker 1: to giggle like schoolgirls about. Yeah.
- 32:36Speaker 3: In fairness, I turned my mic off and put my
- 32:37Speaker 3: head down, but he went back to the name a
- 32:39Speaker 3: second time, and that's just.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Efton Chisholm III got no reaction from y'all, though. I'm
- 32:44Speaker 1: very surprised by that. That's a professional name. That's like
- 32:47Speaker 1: the name of a poet laureate or something. Because that
- 32:50Speaker 1: one kind of amuses me. All right, we come back
- 32:52Speaker 1: here on the Mac and Bone Show.
- 32:55Speaker 3: On this Tuesday edition, do Duke and Wake deserve to
- 32:58Speaker 3: be ranked in both polls, or is there a little
- 33:02Speaker 3: bit too much ACC whining going on?
- 33:05Speaker 2: We'll discuss that. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
- 33:23Speaker 4: Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Mack and Bone with you. J.J. Jansen, America's long snapper,
- 33:30Speaker 1: to help.
- 33:31Speaker 3: Us celebrate a victory Tuesday with a special.
- 33:50Speaker 1: In-season Snapchats. That's coming up at 8 o'clock. We'll have
- 33:53Speaker 1: some fun with him. We'll ask him some of your
- 33:56Speaker 1: Ask JJ questions, so text those in. After JJ, we
- 34:00Speaker 1: should get the montage out there, Bone, for folks. The
- 34:04Speaker 1: Montage of Misery Detroit Lions edition. What did you think
- 34:08Speaker 1: of those Detroit fans? Were they as entertaining as the
- 34:11Speaker 1: Falcons fans after we whipped their tailbone?
- 34:14Speaker 3: Well, they go through funeral talk, hospital talk, and depression talk.
- 34:18Speaker 3: So I don't know if it was– some of them
- 34:21Speaker 3: were angry. There was some yelling, but there was a
- 34:22Speaker 3: lot of– A lot of concern about our friends there, honestly.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Nothing's going to compare to Falcons fans being down bad
- 34:31Speaker 1: like that, except maybe Cowboy fans. But there aren't many
- 34:34Speaker 1: fan bases that are going to rank that up high.
- 34:36Speaker 3: But Cowboy fans getting down bad, they just talk about
- 34:38Speaker 3: the 90s. So do they really get... Do they get
- 34:41Speaker 3: that mad or do they just deflect back to the
- 34:44Speaker 3: jorts era?
- 34:46Speaker 1: I heard they get drunk and go searching for Josh
- 34:48Speaker 1: Allen in Wyoming is actually what they do when they're
- 34:50Speaker 1: down bad.
- 34:51Speaker 2: All right, y'all.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Let's talk a little college football here, a little ACC
- 34:56Speaker 1: college football. So it's been said a lot, Bone. We've
- 35:00Speaker 1: talked about it here. It's certainly been talked about a
- 35:05Speaker 1: ton in the ACC media, ACC network talking heads. The
- 35:09Speaker 1: fact that it seems to take a lot, Bone, to
- 35:13Speaker 1: get some of these ACC teams, not named Miami, ranked.
- 35:16Speaker 1: You had Louisville ranked there for a while. SMU was
- 35:20Speaker 1: still ranked, but you had Louisville ranked there for a while.
- 35:22Speaker 1: And they have since been bounced out of there after
- 35:25Speaker 1: losses to Wake and NC State. But we did get
- 35:28Speaker 1: Pitt in there, at least one of the polls this week, Bone.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Although they had the big win at Virginia Tech.
- 35:36Speaker 2: We think they won the game.
- 35:37Speaker 1: I'm still not sure about that field goal. But now
- 35:40Speaker 1: they've lost Mason Huntsville for the season. So you're worried,
- 35:43Speaker 1: can Pitt stay in the rankings? They got the heels.
- 35:45Speaker 1: this week. Duke is in there in the coaches poll
- 35:49Speaker 1: at number 23. They're not in the AP poll. Wake,
- 35:54Speaker 1: after the big win against Louisville and after acquitting themselves
- 35:56Speaker 1: pretty darn well against Miami, Wake is not in either poll.
- 36:01Speaker 1: What do you think? Let's focus on Duke and Wake
- 36:04Speaker 1: Forest specifically here, Bone. If you say, okay, there's You know,
- 36:08Speaker 1: two polls, Duke's in one of them, not in the other.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Wake Forest is in none of them. Do we think
- 36:15Speaker 1: Duke and Wake both should be ranked in both polls?
- 36:18Speaker 1: Do we think this is an injustice?
- 36:20Speaker 2: Absolutely. Wake's only lost to Miami.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Duke has, you know, Illinois has not played as well
- 36:27Speaker 3: as they were last year, either as Tulane, but Duke
- 36:30Speaker 3: still took care of business in those games. Mack, the
- 36:33Speaker 3: SOR ranks right now for both those teams, strength of record.
- 36:37Speaker 3: Duke is number 10 in the country. Wake Forest is
- 36:40Speaker 3: number 17 at 4-1 right now. So that goes to
- 36:44Speaker 3: show you right there that they're winning. They're beating teams
- 36:47Speaker 3: that have played other teams along the way as well.
- 36:52Speaker 3: Wake and Duke definitely— I' m not saying they deserve to be
- 36:55Speaker 3: top 10, top 15, but they definitely deserve to be
- 36:58Speaker 3: somewhere in that 20-25 range like Duke is in.
- 37:02Speaker 1: The— Yeah, I was looking at the FPI rankings on ESPN.
- 37:10Speaker 1: Wake is 31st, Duke's 37th, so that's a ranking that
- 37:13Speaker 1: doesn't do them well. The strength of record numbers on
- 37:18Speaker 1: their bone have Wake 17th, Duke 21st, but still both
- 37:23Speaker 1: in that top 25 number. The thing, though, is strength
- 37:28Speaker 1: of schedule. Wake's strength of schedule is 29th. They played Miami.
- 37:33Speaker 1: They hung in there. They were driving in the red
- 37:35Speaker 1: zone with a chance to cut it to six and
- 37:37Speaker 1: turn the ball over in the fourth quarter of that game.
- 37:39Speaker 1: They acquitted themselves extremely well. Duke, their strength of schedule
- 37:43Speaker 1: is 114. Duke's best win, Bone, is Illinois. In the FPI,
- 37:48Speaker 1: Illinois is 54. I don't want to upset Duke, Bone,
- 37:52Speaker 1: or James or Maiden or any other awesome Duke fans
- 37:55Speaker 1: out there. I actually think Wake has a better case
- 37:58Speaker 1: to be ranked than Duke right now. just based on
- 38:02Speaker 1: who Duke has played and who, like, Wake's beating a
- 38:05Speaker 1: Louisville team that, to me, they're 36th in FPI. Louisville,
- 38:10Speaker 1: to me, I know they got three losses, and I realize, Bone,
- 38:13Speaker 1: that the state win over Louisville doesn't help Wake's cause, right?
- 38:19Speaker 1: So maybe Wake would be ranked, but maybe people are
- 38:21Speaker 1: looking at it saying, well, that Louisville win doesn't mean
- 38:23Speaker 1: as much as maybe they thought.
- 38:25Speaker 2: NC State just beat them.
- 38:27Speaker 3: But Duke also, Mac, I know it doesn't matter to
- 38:29Speaker 3: this poll, but they're also the defending ACC champs. Manny
- 38:32Speaker 3: Diaz has proven that they are good under him. And
- 38:36Speaker 3: I will say, they're playing who's on the schedule.
- 38:39Speaker 2: I get that.
- 38:40Speaker 3: But in the three games outside of Illinois, it's not
- 38:42Speaker 3: the hardest games. They've only allowed 17 points in the
- 38:45Speaker 3: three games. So they've done what they're supposed to do.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:50Speaker 3: Georgia Tech, I mean, that should be a harder game.
- 38:52Speaker 3: I don't know if it will be or not this week.
- 38:54Speaker 3: Probably not. I'm actually going to agree with you. Because
- 38:59Speaker 3: it's not even about beating Louisville, because I'm not really
- 39:03Speaker 3: sure about them right now.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Big win.
- 39:05Speaker 3: To me, Wake Forest's best effort is actually how they
- 39:09Speaker 3: fought and competed against Miami. That, to me, is the
- 39:12Speaker 3: biggest reason they should be ranked. It's not even just
- 39:15Speaker 3: the wins and the dominance. It's that they showed you
- 39:17Speaker 3: in that night. that they didn't give up, and they
- 39:19Speaker 3: pushed Miami, who's a much more talented team than they are.
- 39:22Speaker 3: On a night, by the way, we're meant to start
- 39:24Speaker 3: at 24 for 24, and they still they still found
- 39:27Speaker 3: a way to hang around. I'm going to say something
- 39:29Speaker 3: that may shiver your timbers. I think that wake should
- 39:32Speaker 3: be higher than Duke right now, but they've done more
- 39:35Speaker 3: so far. That's not to say it finishes that way,
- 39:38Speaker 3: but right now I agree with that. See that, that
- 39:40Speaker 3: last thing you said, is it like, there's not a
- 39:42Speaker 3: lot there yet. All you can go with is your
- 39:43Speaker 3: resume right now. But here's the thing. Big Payne says
- 39:48Speaker 3: there's an ESPN power ranking where Duke is 12th. See,
- 39:50Speaker 3: I hadn't seen that. I hadn't seen that one. Joey
- 39:53Speaker 3: from Huntersville says Duke will never get respect in football.
- 39:56Speaker 3: It's definitely gotten better, though, over the last handful of years.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Yeah, it's getting there, but they're at least in one
- 40:02Speaker 1: of the polls. I mean, that's a defending champions, Joey.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Just plenty of respect. They don't make t-shirts for second place.
- 40:09Speaker 1: 704 number said, Mac, yes, I see what you're saying
- 40:16Speaker 1: about Wake's schedule and Wake's schedule versus Duke's schedule.
- 40:20Speaker 2: But who's the better football team? I would argue it's Duke.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Now, there's a place, Bone, to the point you made
- 40:26Speaker 1: about you don't know where it's going to end up.
- 40:27Speaker 1: But right now, maybe Wake's got the better resume. Yeah.
- 40:30Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a close one to call.
- 40:32Speaker 1: I could see Duke bone because I think the defense
- 40:35Speaker 1: is vastly improved and Shepard is honestly one of the
- 40:38Speaker 1: best players in the damn country. And I think he
- 40:40Speaker 1: got his shown bone after a rusty opener against, or,
- 40:43Speaker 1: you know, not a great opener against Tulane. I think
- 40:45Speaker 1: he has looked more of the part like, Yeah, if
- 40:49Speaker 1: Duke beats Wake and Duke's better than Wake at the
- 40:51Speaker 1: end of the season, it wouldn't surprise me. I'm just
- 40:53Speaker 1: going based off the resume right now.
- 40:56Speaker 3: I just did a search of what would the spread
- 40:59Speaker 3: be today if they played. And it's Duke by 17
- 41:03Speaker 3: and a half. I'm sorry, that's basketball. I'll only scroll
- 41:07Speaker 3: to the next one.
- 41:07Speaker 2: I'm sorry. That's basketball. I would never want that out
- 41:10Speaker 2: there publicly. Sorry, Duke fans.
- 41:12Speaker 3: It says right now, if you go by what the
- 41:14Speaker 3: consensus is, Duke favored by about two and a half
- 41:17Speaker 3: over Wake Forest.
- 41:19Speaker 1: Okay.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a hell of a game
- 41:20Speaker 2: when they play. We got a long way to go. Hey,
- 41:22Speaker 2: we got it. Long way to go. And we can
- 41:23Speaker 2: state this weekend the hell of a game also.
- 41:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I shouldn't skip past that. We had
- 41:27Speaker 1: a state fan. This guy's optimistic as a state fan.
- 41:30Speaker 1: I can't believe this.
- 41:31Speaker 2: He says, Mac, diehard. Block this guy away.
- 41:33Speaker 1: Diehard state fan. I heard you in hour one, and
- 41:36Speaker 1: you're right.
- 41:37Speaker 2: If C.J.
- 41:37Speaker 1: Bailey just doesn't have a brain fart, this team's 4-1,
- 41:40Speaker 1: and we're viewing them completely differently. Is it wrong to
- 41:44Speaker 1: say I think they're better than Wake and Duke? I mean,
- 41:49Speaker 1: I would say you're stretching.
- 41:51Speaker 2: It a little bit.
- 41:52Speaker 1: But you are saying you like my point from hour one,
- 41:55Speaker 1: so I definitely don't want to be too argumentative about it.
- 41:57Speaker 1: I mean, to Bone's point from a second ago, NC
- 42:00Speaker 1: State will have their say in things against Wake. They
- 42:03Speaker 1: get them coming to Carter-Finley this weekend. My whole thing
- 42:07Speaker 1: with State is, can you be consistent? Their whole thing
- 42:12Speaker 1: has been following up the big win, Bone. Can they
- 42:15Speaker 1: follow up the big win with another strong performance? But
- 42:18Speaker 1: there's no doubt you look at... You look at the
- 42:23Speaker 1: last four games, there's been a lot of good in there.
- 42:25Speaker 1: Even the Vandy game, they were the better team. Now,
- 42:27Speaker 1: they blew a 17-point lead, but they were the better team.
- 42:30Speaker 2: So, I don't know.
- 42:32Speaker 1: I'm very intrigued by NC State and Wake on Saturday.
- 42:36Speaker 1: Very intrigued. Yeah.
- 42:38Speaker 3: Also, Manny Diaz, to go with the comparison to these teams,
- 42:42Speaker 3: I agree. Actually, I don't know. Part of me is
- 42:46Speaker 3: that's a tough prediction game right there. You talk about
- 42:48Speaker 3: the unknown of State's coming off the big win against Louisville.
- 42:52Speaker 3: Do they get that back-to-back, but they're at home? Is
- 42:55Speaker 3: Wake Mac due for a down performance, or are they
- 42:59Speaker 3: legitimately this good? It's going to be a fascinating game.
- 43:03Speaker 3: I will say, when comparing these teams, Duke State, Dave
- 43:08Speaker 3: Doran's never beaten Manny Diaz. whether at Miami or at Duke.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Manny's 3-0 versus Dave Doran, and he hasn't really been
- 43:15Speaker 3: all that close with Duke so far.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Dave's had some issues with Wake, too, at times.
- 43:20Speaker 1: He has. I was going to say the same thing.
- 43:23Speaker 1: This dude says, Mac, the difference Saturday is Jake Dickert
- 43:26Speaker 1: will coach the pants off Dave Doran.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Well, I don't need to see that.
- 43:30Speaker 1: I hope Dave can keep his pants on, but yes,
- 43:34Speaker 1: I had the same thought there. Uh, Dave Doran has
- 43:38Speaker 1: done a solid job at state. I realized many state
- 43:41Speaker 1: fans are tired of just solid. I believe Jake Dickert
- 43:45Speaker 1: is an absolute coaching superstar in the making. I honestly
- 43:49Speaker 1: believe that. I believe, and I hate to do this
- 43:51Speaker 1: to Wake fans, enjoy him while he's here, and I
- 43:53Speaker 1: hope he stays for a while, but I believe he
- 43:56Speaker 1: is going up the coaching chair's bone, and I just
- 44:00Speaker 1: think he's a star.
- 44:02Speaker 2: I really do.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Matt, do you want today's text that makes no sense
- 44:06Speaker 3: brought to you by Complainer and Chief on the text line?
- 44:08Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Oh, no. The diehard Tar Heel fan who just... How's
- 44:11Speaker 1: he in this conversation?
- 44:13Speaker 2: Well, listen to how he tries to.
- 44:14Speaker 1: Because of a moral victory? Try to talk through this one, Matt.
- 44:16Speaker 3: Quote... This is Wake Forest here. How did Wake compete
- 44:22Speaker 3: with the number three team in the nation? I'm talking
- 44:24Speaker 3: about Wake. Oh, wait, that's right. They didn't play the
- 44:27Speaker 3: number three team in the nation. It's just crazy. Y'all
- 44:30Speaker 3: are praising Wake, and they lost to Miami. Mike Tar
- 44:33Speaker 3: Heels played a close game against number three on Saturday
- 44:36Speaker 3: and went toe-to-toe with Notre Dame, and they can't get praise.
- 44:39Speaker 5: No, they didn't, dumbass.
- 44:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:42Speaker 4: They were down 21 to seven on the verge of
- 44:44Speaker 4: being down 28 to seven.
- 44:46Speaker 5: You got a fourth down stop. It was 21 to 20.
- 44:48Speaker 1: They were down one in mid, you know, early third
- 44:52Speaker 1: quarter though. Yeah.
- 44:53Speaker 5: And by the end of the quarter, it was 37
- 44:54Speaker 5: to one.
- 44:54Speaker 2: By the way, Miami, Miami. That's true.
- 44:57Speaker 4: Like I said yesterday, you take the score bug off
- 45:00Speaker 4: the screen. You didn't think that was an 11 point
- 45:02Speaker 4: game on Saturday. I was there proud of the effort.
- 45:07Speaker 4: But don't act like we competed and pushed Notre Dame
- 45:10Speaker 4: for 60 minutes.
- 45:11Speaker 5: Them boys did whatever they wanted to do.
- 45:13Speaker 3: We competed with a much more explosive Miami offense than
- 45:16Speaker 3: what Notre Dame is. Notre Dame's good, but we competed
- 45:19Speaker 3: with Mensah going 24 for 24 to start the football game.
- 45:22Speaker 2: How about this one? How about this one?
- 45:24Speaker 1: Y'all got outscored 22-3, complainer, by Clemson in the second half.
- 45:28Speaker 1: A Clemson team that lost by four touchdowns to the
- 45:31Speaker 1: Miami team that Wake competed with.
- 45:33Speaker 2: How about that one?
- 45:34Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 45:35Speaker 2: We come back. J.J.

- 45:41Speaker 3: on what happened and more.
