Latest / Mac & Bone Podcast / Mac & Bone Hour 2: Clemson & South Carolina On Upset Alert
Transcript
- 0:18Speaker 1: I think Kamario Taylor and his overall skill set, plus
- 0:21Speaker 1: the speed they have at receiver and the lack of
- 0:24Speaker 1: trust that I have right now for South Carolina at
- 0:27Speaker 1: that same position, overcomes one of the venues that I
- 0:31Speaker 1: think is the most underrated in college football. So it's
- 0:35Speaker 1: going to be an extremely charged atmosphere. But something tells
- 0:40Speaker 1: me Mississippi State's going to go in there and overcome it.
- 0:42Speaker 1: So I'm going to take the Bulldogs to win the
- 0:44Speaker 1: game outright. Yet again, I think the wrong team's favorites.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I think Mississippi State wins the game outright.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Oh, no. Bones giving Josh Payton.
- 0:55Speaker 3: I love it. I want more of that. I want
- 0:58Speaker 3: more of that talk. I love it. Oh, you're going
- 1:00Speaker 3: to get it. You are going to get it. Mississippi
- 1:02Speaker 3: State is going to be extremely trendy upset. That's why
- 1:05Speaker 3: I love it. Trend away, baby. Trend away. It's not
- 1:08Speaker 3: a secret.
- 1:10Speaker 4: A lot of people are thinking like Josh Bate did,
- 1:12Speaker 4: and I love Josh Bate, but we don't think, Matt,
- 1:14Speaker 4: that South Carolina hears all the chatter. We don't think
- 1:17Speaker 4: South Carolina is very aware.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you're saying. So you like it
- 1:20Speaker 2: from a team motivation standpoint.
- 1:22Speaker 4: Mississippi State played in a national game last week and
- 1:25Speaker 4: looked great. It's not under the radar anymore. There's a
- 1:27Speaker 4: lot of people that are picking Mississippi State. How many
- 1:30Speaker 4: times do we see a trend go one way? But
- 1:33Speaker 4: a team knows that their that team is is is special,
- 1:38Speaker 4: that they're different than they thought. They're not going to
- 1:41Speaker 4: sneak up on South Carolina. South Carolina will be ready
- 1:43Speaker 4: for them. So that's why you see. So that's why
- 1:45Speaker 4: you like it. OK, I get it. I get interesting.
- 1:47Speaker 4: It's not like Mississippi State did play a national game.
- 1:50Speaker 4: It's not like they've been just kind of playing nobodies.
- 1:52Speaker 4: And hey, look at that. They look pretty good. I
- 1:55Speaker 4: think they caught the attention of a lot of people
- 1:56Speaker 4: last week, including South Carolina.
- 1:58Speaker 3: But Mississippi State also beat the Brakes off a Power
- 2:02Speaker 3: Four conference team where South Carolina played Kent State and Towson.
- 2:08Speaker 3: There are reasons why this is being an upset pick.
- 2:11Speaker 3: I get your point about motivation, and I want to
- 2:14Speaker 3: ask Clemson fans and South Carolina fans the same question.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Bone has jumped in and already answered from a South
- 2:20Speaker 3: Carolina standpoint here. But it's very interesting to me that
- 2:25Speaker 3: Clemson is being put on upset alert by people all
- 2:29Speaker 3: over the place against North Carolina. Little old Clemson. And
- 2:33Speaker 3: South Carolina is being put on, they're both favorites at home,
- 2:36Speaker 3: but they're both being put on upset alert. And I
- 2:40Speaker 3: want to talk about that.
- 2:41Speaker 5: Did you hear what Pate said about the Carolina-Clemson line?
- 2:44Speaker 3: No, no.
- 2:45Speaker 5: He thinks it's too small. He's betting that Clemson and
- 2:48Speaker 5: Dabo cover in a big way.
- 2:50Speaker 3: So he's on the opposite side of that. He doesn't
- 2:52Speaker 3: believe in both the upset alert situation. Very interesting, right?
- 2:56Speaker 3: It is interesting because Bone could be right. South Carolina
- 2:59Speaker 3: could use this as motivation. It looks like they'll probably
- 3:02Speaker 3: get Peek and Stewart back. I don't know if Brad
- 3:04Speaker 3: Crawford is correct in this. Brad Crawford said it's his
- 3:08Speaker 3: understanding that Peek will play. He's not sure about Stewart.
- 3:11Speaker 3: And if Stewart plays, he'll be on a pitch count.
- 3:13Speaker 3: I don't know if that's accurate information, but I just wonder,
- 3:20Speaker 3: and I wonder this too, if you're a South Carolina
- 3:24Speaker 3: fan or a Clemson fan, does all the upset alert
- 3:28Speaker 3: stuff bother you? I sense, Bone, like you're bowing up.
- 3:32Speaker 3: You're like, bro, bring it on. Like you're taking this
- 3:34Speaker 3: personally as a South Carolina fan. I hope they are too.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Clemson fans, I don't know. Do y'all get– I don't know.
- 3:43Speaker 3: I sense Clemson fans are so mad at their own team.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I don't know. Is your reaction the same as Bones
- 3:49Speaker 3: if you're a Tiger fan? I think so.
- 3:50Speaker 2: I sense Clemson fans are almost like, yeah, we're going
- 3:53Speaker 2: to lose.
- 3:54Speaker 4: My sense from what I see is Clemson fans right now,
- 3:58Speaker 4: even when it's Georgia Southern, have dread when their team plays.
- 4:02Speaker 3: They're not excited.
- 4:03Speaker 2: No.
- 4:03Speaker 4: They're going backwards, Matt, to— I don't want to say
- 4:08Speaker 4: mediocre times because they're still better than a lot of teams,
- 4:11Speaker 4: but they're going back to a time of they're no
- 4:14Speaker 4: longer on top. They're now in the pack with a
- 4:17Speaker 4: lot of teams. They're not excited for their games. I
- 4:19Speaker 4: said South Carolina fans are, hey, it's a tough game,
- 4:23Speaker 4: but it's at home.
- 4:24Speaker 3: It's an SEC game. That home field advantage is big.
- 4:25Speaker 3: We've got something to prove here in this game. Let
- 4:28Speaker 3: them be good. Facing good SEC teams is nothing new. Yeah,
- 4:32Speaker 3: Mississippi State might be a little bit newer to that
- 4:34Speaker 3: right now. But I think South Carolina fans are like,
- 4:37Speaker 3: let's go play ball. Spot the football. Play ball.
- 4:40Speaker 4: I think Clemson fans right now, Mac, are kind of like, yeah,
- 4:43Speaker 4: spot the ball.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Let's go play.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Look at your boy, Doc. I think Clemson fans are
- 4:46Speaker 2: scared of what could happen on Saturday.
- 4:48Speaker 3: To your point, Doc says UNC's winning. Clemson sucks. There
- 4:50Speaker 3: you go. Yeah. So I think Clemson fans, I think
- 4:53Speaker 3: hate their own right now and don't have any trust
- 4:55Speaker 3: in their own. And there's definitely, don't get me wrong.
- 4:58Speaker 3: I understand it 100%, but it's just kind of interesting
- 5:01Speaker 3: to me. The differential, this texture 704 number says, we
- 5:05Speaker 3: don't know a damn thing about this South Carolina team
- 5:07Speaker 3: because of the opponents they played.
- 5:09Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 5:10Speaker 3: I just like, I was just a little taken aback
- 5:13Speaker 3: by how bad sellers was passing. The Harbor drop touchdown
- 5:17Speaker 3: passes back to back was like, bro, Are you not
- 5:20Speaker 3: making any jumps here? Are you still an athlete that's
- 5:25Speaker 3: not a receiver?
- 5:26Speaker 2: I don't know, man.
- 5:29Speaker 3: And the thing about the South Carolina game is, Bone,
- 5:32Speaker 3: you look at your schedule. This is one that South
- 5:35Speaker 3: Carolina fans, I think we all budgeted as a win
- 5:38Speaker 3: going into the season.
- 5:39Speaker 2: You're at home against Mississippi State.
- 5:41Speaker 3: It's one that you have to have if you want
- 5:43Speaker 3: to have the season you want to have. And I
- 5:46Speaker 3: think we're all now looking at Mississippi State like, bro,
- 5:49Speaker 3: this quarterback is special and this team is better than
- 5:52Speaker 3: we thought. Same thing with Clemson and Carolina, although Clemson
- 5:56Speaker 3: is looking maybe worse than we anticipated, but North Carolina
- 6:00Speaker 3: also is looking, Bone, like an opponent that it's like, whoa,
- 6:05Speaker 3: I thought you were going to be hot garbage. And
- 6:08Speaker 3: it's in that one, see, it's the combination in that
- 6:11Speaker 3: one bone of Clemson having the flaws that we're seeing,
- 6:15Speaker 3: but North Carolina looking better than we expected.
- 6:17Speaker 4: I think that we're going to see two different style
- 6:19Speaker 4: of games. I think we could see some pretty special
- 6:23Speaker 4: quarterback play in the South Carolina game at 445 with
- 6:26Speaker 4: Taylor and Sellers.
- 6:28Speaker 3: I think we'll see some offensive fireworks.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Clemson and UNC, I think it kind of might be
- 6:33Speaker 4: like how UNC wants it, like the TCU game. I
- 6:36Speaker 4: think it's going to be kind of I think it's
- 6:38Speaker 4: going to be a physical, hard-hitting, kind of low-scoring. Clemson's offense,
- 6:42Speaker 4: the Heels' offense. I still think Clemson's defense can do
- 6:45Speaker 4: some things against UNC's offense.
- 6:47Speaker 3: Yes.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I think that's going to be a— Take the under.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Take the under. I've been thinking that myself. I think
- 6:51Speaker 3: that's going to be a hard-hitting, low-scoring game. While South
- 6:54Speaker 3: Carolina missed a mistake, could have some fireworks. Take the
- 6:57Speaker 3: under on Clemson-UNC. I'm with you 100%. I think it's
- 7:01Speaker 3: a slobber knocker. I think it's similar to the TCU game. Hell,
- 7:04Speaker 3: it was a slobber knocker bone in a defensive game
- 7:06Speaker 3: against Georgia Southern in Death Valley, for God's sakes. So
- 7:09Speaker 3: don't you think with Belichick and that defensive front, and
- 7:12Speaker 3: if Melcard Abujabi comes back in place, he's apparently had
- 7:15Speaker 3: a cast on his hand. Do we know Fit if
- 7:17Speaker 3: he's going to play? Because that combination of him on
- 7:19Speaker 3: one edge, Harvey on the other, and Xavier Lewis in
- 7:22Speaker 3: the middle against an offensive line for Clemson. Tiger fans,
- 7:25Speaker 3: you know this, man. I'm not saying anything crazy. Matter
- 7:28Speaker 3: of fact, y'all are saying it right now on the
- 7:29Speaker 3: text line. Your offensive line has looked so bad, and
- 7:32Speaker 3: that North Carolina front looks legit.
- 7:35Speaker 5: Yeah, hopefully we get an update on Melkart tomorrow. We
- 7:39Speaker 5: got Carolina football live, so Belichick will do his radio show.
- 7:44Speaker 5: Maybe we get some sort of news about Melkart. But, Mac,
- 7:48Speaker 5: it's not just.
- 7:49Speaker 3: Belichick always dropping news. Full transparency coming up.
- 7:53Speaker 5: Well, I'm sure if Pat Welter's there, he'll get down
- 7:55Speaker 5: to the bottom of it.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Oh, come on. Stop it right now.
- 7:59Speaker 5: Mac, it's not just like those three war daddies that
- 8:02Speaker 5: got up front. Like, Belichick, I think, has kind of
- 8:06Speaker 5: turned back the clock. He's so involved with his defense.
- 8:09Speaker 5: You've got a freshman quarterback that's making his first ever start.
- 8:13Speaker 3: I know.
- 8:13Speaker 5: And look, I think Tate, I think he fits what
- 8:16Speaker 5: Chad Morris wants to do better than Vazquez.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Yes, the running ability, right? The dual threat, the zone reads.
- 8:22Speaker 5: But if he couldn't, If he looked the way he
- 8:25Speaker 5: looked against Georgia Southern... He looked.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Good in the first half.
- 8:27Speaker 7: He did.
- 8:27Speaker 3: They just couldn't finish drives off. But second half was ugly, though, Fit,
- 8:31Speaker 3: to your point.
- 8:32Speaker 7: It was.
- 8:32Speaker 2: It was pretty ugly.
- 8:34Speaker 5: To me, this has like 17-13 written all over it.
- 8:36Speaker 3: I agree.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you boys on that.
- 8:38Speaker 4: Belichick's known, especially in the pros, and we saw it
- 8:41Speaker 4: against TCU, in the adjustments they made. Belichick will take
- 8:45Speaker 4: away what... you do well offensively, right? He focuses on
- 8:49Speaker 4: one thing when he's preparing for Clemson.
- 8:51Speaker 2: What is, what exactly is he going to take away?
- 8:53Speaker 2: He's so confused right now. He's like, what the hell
- 8:56Speaker 2: do I try to take away? They take away their
- 8:57Speaker 2: own stuff.
- 8:58Speaker 4: He's going to go to dabble before the game and say,
- 9:02Speaker 4: I don't mean to be disrespectful, but is there anything
- 9:03Speaker 4: we could take away from this?
- 9:04Speaker 3: Clemson, run the dang. I didn't think they ran it
- 9:07Speaker 3: enough against Georgia Southern. Get Davidson touches. Get Johnson look better.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Get in more touches. Run zone reads. Run design runs
- 9:13Speaker 3: with the QB. But, yeah, they definitely, the way Carolina's
- 9:18Speaker 3: defense has played, I just, I don't know how Fitty
- 9:21Speaker 3: feels about this or how Tar Heel fans feel about this.
- 9:24Speaker 3: I am so close to healing up this week, Fitty.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Woo!
- 9:27Speaker 2: It would be so big for y'all.
- 9:29Speaker 5: I felt great until 7, 14, 10 seconds.
- 9:33Speaker 3: It's like South Carolina fans are texting in bone. They
- 9:35Speaker 3: are so happy that I have jumped off the bandwagon
- 9:39Speaker 3: that I was on the off season for this week.
- 9:41Speaker 3: And I'm really worried that they're going to lose North Carolina.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Fans will probably have the opposite reaction. Like, why are
- 9:46Speaker 3: you thinking about picking us? Like, how do you feel
- 9:49Speaker 3: about this one? Cause you're like really stern about, Oh,
- 9:52Speaker 3: South Carolina is here in this.
- 9:53Speaker 2: They're going to be ready.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Do you think Clemson will hear all this and be
- 9:58Speaker 3: ready and make a statement? or do you kind of
- 10:00Speaker 3: feel like bone Clemson's not good enough it does like
- 10:03Speaker 3: how do you feel about that.
- 10:04Speaker 4: One the thing about is we don't really know enough
- 10:06Speaker 4: about Tate Reynolds yet to really have a feel for
- 10:09Speaker 4: what may happen now last year it got away away
- 10:13Speaker 4: it got uh it got away from UNC very early
- 10:15Speaker 4: last year uh in Chapel Hill but UNC is better
- 10:18Speaker 4: this year Clemson's falling off even more. I'm still, I'm
- 10:23Speaker 4: not ready to make a full pick yet. I kind
- 10:25Speaker 4: of lean Clemson like really close, like really close and
- 10:29Speaker 4: low scoring. It's, it's kind of hard to tell. Cause
- 10:31Speaker 4: I do think it's going to be a very close,
- 10:33Speaker 4: low scoring game right now. I'm leaning Clemson, but I
- 10:35Speaker 4: got a few days to make that pick.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Okay. Okay.
- 10:38Speaker 2: All right.
- 10:38Speaker 3: But you see that one is more, cause that's another
- 10:40Speaker 3: question too, like which, and obviously Friday will go crazy.
- 10:43Speaker 3: I don't really want to have to pick either team
- 10:45Speaker 3: to be honest with you, If you must, we're going
- 10:49Speaker 3: to make you. We're going to threaten you with violence
- 10:53Speaker 3: unless you pick somebody.
- 10:54Speaker 4: We had a line change over Nightmac in the South
- 10:56Speaker 4: Carolina-Mississippi State game. It's now South Carolina by four. It
- 11:01Speaker 4: had been three and a half. It moved by a
- 11:03Speaker 4: half point.
- 11:04Speaker 3: Was that you?
- 11:05Speaker 2: Somebody put some money on South Carolina and moved that thing?
- 11:09Speaker 3: No, I didn't.
- 11:10Speaker 4: Not yet.
- 11:10Speaker 3: That's interesting. Sirloin of Beef says South Carolina wins big. Oh, no.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Last time he made a pick was the Panthers over
- 11:16Speaker 3: the Bears.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Let me guess.
- 11:19Speaker 3: South Carolina wins big like a 35-17, maybe, Sirloin? People
- 11:23Speaker 3: want Sirloin banned from pep talks, by the way. We'll
- 11:25Speaker 3: have to work on that later in the week. Is
- 11:26Speaker 3: there someone else that can pep talk for us? I mean,
- 11:28Speaker 3: do Fitty or I, one of us, need to scream?
- 11:32Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 11:32Speaker 2: But people don't want me doing it, though. I'm bad luck.
- 11:35Speaker 5: We don't want you doing anything, to be honest. We
- 11:38Speaker 5: don't want you talking. Mack, I was thinking about this.
- 11:42Speaker 5: Isn't the conversation around this Carolina-Clemson game an indictment of
- 11:47Speaker 5: how far this Clemson program has really fallen?
- 11:50Speaker 6: Yes.
- 11:50Speaker 5: Because, like, Mack, in August, when I was thinking about
- 11:53Speaker 5: this game and I was predicting the schedule, I thought
- 11:57Speaker 5: Carolina would lose and not be competitive. And now I've
- 12:00Speaker 5: seen my team play. I've seen Clemson play twice. And
- 12:03Speaker 5: there's a belief that we can go into their stadium.
- 12:06Speaker 2: At their place.
- 12:07Speaker 5: Like, it'd be different if this game was in Kenan.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 12:09Speaker 5: Because you just don't walk into Kenan Stadium and win
- 12:12Speaker 5: football games.
- 12:14Speaker 2: No, you could have stopped it. You just don't walk
- 12:16Speaker 2: into Kenan Stadium. The fans just don't walk in there.
- 12:20Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I got to tell you, I'm sorry. What
- 12:23Speaker 3: a line.
- 12:24Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Heels fans. I'll make it up to you
- 12:27Speaker 2: by picking you on Friday to win.
- 12:30Speaker 5: But that to me is the biggest indictment of how
- 12:33Speaker 5: far Dabo's program has really fallen. Like there's no defending this.
- 12:39Speaker 5: Like my dad was trying to defend Dabo yesterday and
- 12:42Speaker 5: they've got to give him time to correct it. But
- 12:45Speaker 5: he's allowed them to become a mediocre program. This is
- 12:49Speaker 5: an average college football program. And that's not what Clemson
- 12:53Speaker 5: football is.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Should be. It's brutal.
- 12:55Speaker 2: The offensive line especially, man.
- 12:57Speaker 3: It really is. This texter says.
- 12:59Speaker 4: Clemson right now, Mac, is 134th in total offense right now.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Which is not last, but there's 138 teams. Yeah, this
- 13:06Speaker 4: dude says we can't run the football.
- 13:08Speaker 3: Brandon. Brandon says, Mac, we can't run the ball. I
- 13:10Speaker 3: thought Davidson had moments. I thought Johnson had moments. Again,
- 13:14Speaker 3: that's Georgia Southern. Are you going to be able to
- 13:16Speaker 3: run the ball against North Carolina? I think your only
- 13:18Speaker 3: hope is to keep... The front off balance with the
- 13:21Speaker 3: zone reads, right? That's where Tate Reynolds' athleticism comes in.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Run zone read, get those guys guessing back, and the
- 13:29Speaker 3: quarterback keeps it. Get them honoring the quarterback, and you
- 13:31Speaker 3: give it to the back, that.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Sort of thing.
- 13:33Speaker 4: I'm just looking at this right now. Through a couple
- 13:34Speaker 4: games here, Mississippi State is number two in the country
- 13:39Speaker 4: in total offense, 620 yards per game. South Carolina's five
- 13:45Speaker 4: at 569. I know the opponents aren't great, but that
- 13:48Speaker 4: shows you right there. UNC is 90th in offense. Clemson
- 13:52Speaker 4: is 134. Mississippi State is second, South Carolina five. You
- 13:56Speaker 4: can kind of see the type of football games we're
- 13:58Speaker 4: going to see.
- 13:59Speaker 3: But is South Carolina going to be able to run
- 14:00Speaker 3: it against SEC defenses? Like, I know they're running at
- 14:03Speaker 3: 400 yards against Towson. But like, are they going to like,
- 14:07Speaker 3: are we that, do we believe in the run game
- 14:09Speaker 3: that much? I mean, I guess the thing I like
- 14:11Speaker 3: is they're using sellers. They're getting sellers. Briles is getting
- 14:14Speaker 3: sellers involved in the run game. So I do like that.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I just like the fact that like with South Carolina
- 14:21Speaker 3: have gone into Minnesota, I'm not saying Minnesota is the
- 14:23Speaker 3: end all be all, but with South Carolina have gone
- 14:26Speaker 3: in there and destroyed them.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 14:28Speaker 3: You're not the Vikings here.
- 14:30Speaker 2: But, like, you're South Carolina.
- 14:32Speaker 3: No offense, but, like, would you go in there and
- 14:35Speaker 3: blow out a Big Ten team on the road?
- 14:38Speaker 4: It needs to be said, and I'm not trying to
- 14:40Speaker 4: fight you. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I
- 14:43Speaker 4: feel like you've been down on the Gamecocks a little
- 14:45Speaker 4: bit throughout the offseason.
- 14:47Speaker 3: No, I was on here saying they're going to bounce back.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Sellers are going to bounce back. I love the Bryce hire.
- 14:53Speaker 4: I feel like when we talk about them, there's always
- 14:55Speaker 4: a yeah, but with them. And this is your yeah,
- 14:57Speaker 4: but moment. Because I'm not as optimistic as you. You've
- 14:59Speaker 4: been waiting for the but, and you got the but
- 15:01Speaker 4: in week three.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Hey, now.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Hey, now. I guess, I don't know. South Carolina fans
- 15:07Speaker 3: tell me I'm too negative. I know in the past
- 15:09Speaker 3: I have been skeptical of them. But I was on
- 15:12Speaker 3: here telling you seven, eight wins. And I just wasn't
- 15:15Speaker 3: as optimistic as you. I've been on here saying they're
- 15:17Speaker 3: going to bounce back. I just think what's happened here is,
- 15:20Speaker 3: holy crap, Mississippi State is way better than I thought.
- 15:22Speaker 3: And Kamario Taylor looks to be that dude. Maybe we're wrong.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Maybe this is.
- 15:26Speaker 3: South Carolina going to show us that we're hyping it
- 15:28Speaker 3: up too much. That's the fun of these two games is,
- 15:32Speaker 3: is there too much trendy.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Upset alert stuff going on with both of these games
- 15:38Speaker 3: that that's that's the question to to me that's interesting
- 15:42Speaker 3: but like i like give me an example of south
- 15:45Speaker 3: carolina going on the road against like a school like
- 15:48Speaker 3: a big 10 team and routing.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Them well did they not like beat the hell out
- 15:52Speaker 4: of oklahoma a couple years ago right in the sec
- 15:55Speaker 4: in the sec i'm saying like they've gone on the
- 15:57Speaker 4: remember a couple years ago is this the.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Team of two years ago that's the thing that was
- 16:00Speaker 3: a special gamecock team.
- 16:02Speaker 4: Every time I say something about the Gamecocks, again, you're
- 16:05Speaker 4: waiting for the yeah, but you're a yeah, but guy
- 16:07Speaker 4: right now. Chapel Fowler's a gotcha guy. You're a yeah,
- 16:13Speaker 4: but guy.
- 16:14Speaker 3: But the thing is, though, if you're out there listening
- 16:16Speaker 3: and you're a neutral, are you thinking what I'm saying
- 16:18Speaker 3: is wrong? Like, I'm not on here spewing biased haterade.
- 16:24Speaker 3: I want South Carolina to win the game. Like, but
- 16:26Speaker 3: I'm not saying anything that isn't right, I don't feel like.
- 16:29Speaker 4: It's all about Mississippi State beat Minnesota, and you've bought
- 16:33Speaker 4: in on Mississippi State more than South Carolina, and that's fine.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Because South Carolina hasn't had a chance to really prove anything.
- 16:38Speaker 4: They played a better team, so you're right. Mississippi State
- 16:41Speaker 4: is a much better football team.
- 16:42Speaker 2: You know what?
- 16:42Speaker 3: South Carolina's got no chance in this game.
- 16:44Speaker 2: I didn't say that. I'm saying that now. I'm putting
- 16:47Speaker 2: it out there.
- 16:47Speaker 4: Bone said South Carolina's got no chance.
- 16:50Speaker 3: Golly gee they've got no gamecock bone is in his
- 16:53Speaker 3: feels baby what do you want this is a braveheart
- 16:55Speaker 3: the game for you you're mr negative carry me to
- 16:57Speaker 3: freedom jay beamer you're mr negative about i'm not i'm
- 17:01Speaker 3: saying you're gonna lose i think you might lose a
- 17:03Speaker 3: close game i haven't even made my pick yet but
- 17:05Speaker 3: like you're not invited on the cockaboos this week do
- 17:08Speaker 3: you you heard josh pate you're gonna yell at josh
- 17:10Speaker 3: pate why don't you call up josh pate.
- 17:11Speaker 4: You have been down on the gamecocks more than than
- 17:14Speaker 4: i The whole.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Summer I've been telling you you're going to bounce back,
- 17:17Speaker 3: that Bryles is going to get Sellers going again. So
- 17:19Speaker 3: then why are you worried now? Because Camario Taylor is
- 17:23Speaker 3: that dude, man. Sellers can't be that dude.
- 17:28Speaker 2: He's not the best quarterback on the field on Saturday. Okay,
- 17:31Speaker 2: we'll see about that.
- 17:31Speaker 3: I don't think so. We'll see about that. Bro, Sellers
- 17:33Speaker 3: on Saturday, too. That was alarming to me. Like, that
- 17:38Speaker 3: was alarming. That was terrible against a pathetic team. And
- 17:40Speaker 3: I can say that because I went to that school. Well,
- 17:42Speaker 3: pretty good the first game against a bad team. I
- 17:45Speaker 3: don't know what was going on the other day. He did.
- 17:47Speaker 4: When we come back, Greg Allman talks Panthers and goes
- 17:50Speaker 4: around the NFL, including the performance of the other NFC
- 17:54Speaker 4: South teams.

- 18:26Speaker 3: People want me to shut up. People think Bone is sensitive.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Shut up yourself. Trophy Husband says his two dads are fighting.
- 18:36Speaker 2: He doesn't like it when his two dads are fighting.
- 18:38Speaker 3: It's football, baby.
- 18:39Speaker 2: It's football.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Bone's passionate. I'm a loud mouth.
- 18:43Speaker 4: I got so disheveled going to break. I just I
- 18:46Speaker 4: said Greg Norman's on next with us. Why did I
- 18:49Speaker 4: say Greg?
- 18:49Speaker 2: It's Greg Allman. Why did I say Greg Norman? There's
- 18:51Speaker 2: going to be a couple ups.

- 19:09Speaker 4: to we're not talking to that greg norman fella uh
- 19:12Speaker 4: greg uh allman covers the nfl for fox sports uh
- 19:16Speaker 4: for years he was kind of his specialty you know,
- 19:19Speaker 4: as an NFL writer, was at NFC South.
- 19:21Speaker 3: So you know that the zero-win NFC South is always
- 19:24Speaker 3: close to his heart as every team sits in a
- 19:27Speaker 3: 0-1 tie for first. Greg Allman joins us to talk
- 19:30Speaker 3: Panthers and maybe some NFC South football. Check out his
- 19:35Speaker 3: stuff with Fox Sports, foxsports.com. Greg, thank you for joining
- 19:38Speaker 3: us again, man.
- 19:39Speaker 2: How you doing? I'm doing well.
- 19:42Speaker 7: We can talk a little nine is Rams down under.
- 19:44Speaker 2: If you want. Oh, man, that's beautiful.
- 19:48Speaker 3: That makes me feel better now. Keep that voice the
- 19:50Speaker 3: whole time, if you don't mind.
- 19:51Speaker 8: I don't think I've gotten to Greg Norman in a while.
- 19:53Speaker 1: No, no, that was....
- 19:58Speaker 4: That was organic. We got in a fight last segment,
- 20:01Speaker 4: and then I said your name, and then I said
- 20:04Speaker 4: Greg Norman's next instead of saying your name again.
- 20:06Speaker 2: That's all. That's all right.
- 20:08Speaker 4: In fairness, Greg, we've only done this for 20-plus years,
- 20:10Speaker 4: and we're so hard in here.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Oh, man, Greg, we're making mistakes here. It fits in Charlotte.
- 20:16Speaker 3: There were a lot of mistakes made defensively, especially on
- 20:20Speaker 3: Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Were you surprised by that game?
- 20:25Speaker 3: I mean, we thought a shootout was possible, but we
- 20:29Speaker 3: didn't think 59 points allowed was possible. What was your
- 20:32Speaker 3: reaction to the way that game got away from the Panthers?
- 20:36Speaker 7: Yeah, I was in Jacksonville at Browns-Jags, and it was wild.
- 20:40Speaker 7: I mean, they and the Saints were much the same
- 20:42Speaker 7: in that you get down early and it looks really bad,
- 20:45Speaker 7: and then it's like, oh, wait, now you look and
- 20:48Speaker 7: it's like, well, Bryce is kind of going, you know,
- 20:50Speaker 7: touchdown for touchdown with Caleb here. And they tie it up,
- 20:53Speaker 7: and you're like, wow, this could be fun. And then, obviously,
- 20:55Speaker 7: the Bears just kind of hit a gear that the
- 20:57Speaker 7: Panthers didn't have and kept scoring at the end. So,
- 21:00Speaker 7: I mean, you can definitely be concerned about the defense
- 21:03Speaker 7: giving up that many points and giving up points as
- 21:06Speaker 7: consistently as they did. But offensively, I think there's definitely
- 21:09Speaker 7: something to be encouraged about with them being able to
- 21:12Speaker 7: trade punches at least for a while. But, yeah, 59
- 21:15Speaker 7: is a big number.
- 21:16Speaker 4: How sustainable on the offensive side do you think that was?
- 21:19Speaker 4: Not that they're going to average 37 a game, but
- 21:22Speaker 4: do you think that they finally found their consistent rhythm
- 21:26Speaker 4: here with the Dave Canals offense?
- 21:29Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so. Again, it's one of those where
- 21:31Speaker 7: I think sometimes the flow of the game helps you,
- 21:34Speaker 7: where the Bears offense being able to move as consistently
- 21:38Speaker 7: almost every Takes it easy for the defense. It'd be
- 21:41Speaker 7: easy to let up your guard a little bit. So
- 21:43Speaker 7: I'll be curious how they do this. This is a
- 21:45Speaker 7: much better measure this week and how you do here.
- 21:48Speaker 7: You know, this is kind of one of those tone
- 21:51Speaker 7: setter type games where if you do this, you know,
- 21:53Speaker 7: if you get things done this week, at least in division,
- 21:56Speaker 7: you know, it takes somebody's going to come out of
- 21:58Speaker 7: this 0-1 funk and have a win to show after
- 22:00Speaker 7: week two.
- 22:01Speaker 3: That's right. It would be very NFC South for the
- 22:04Speaker 3: Falcons and Panthers to tie. And neither South team could win.
- 22:09Speaker 3: But we don't want that. We don't want this here.
- 22:12Speaker 3: The defense, Greg, is– and that is– Bone's right. The
- 22:16Speaker 3: silver lining is, oh, man, look at how Bryce looked.
- 22:19Speaker 3: Look at how Coker looked. Look at how the offense looked.
- 22:22Speaker 3: But the defense, I think most of us here in
- 22:24Speaker 3: Carolina thought, man– we can't wait to see this defense
- 22:28Speaker 3: play with Jalen Phillips and with Devin Lloyd. And they
- 22:31Speaker 3: were in the middle of the pack last year. What
- 22:32Speaker 3: could they be now? How worried are you when you,
- 22:36Speaker 3: after seeing that, like, oh man, is this unit going
- 22:39Speaker 3: to be bad? Or do you, do you think that
- 22:41Speaker 3: game will kind of prove to be an aberration? Like,
- 22:43Speaker 3: what do you think about the Panthers defense?
- 22:45Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think there's a lot of weird
- 22:47Speaker 7: things that happen in week one in terms of just,
- 22:50Speaker 7: you know, results that don't necessarily line up or make
- 22:52Speaker 7: sense even a month later. So, I mean, in the newcomers,
- 22:54Speaker 7: I mean, Lloyd had a million tackles. Phillips had a sack. So,
- 22:57Speaker 7: I mean, their presence was there. I just think the
- 23:00Speaker 7: unit as a whole, you know, I think linebackers are
- 23:03Speaker 7: still going to be a concern. You've got to get
- 23:04Speaker 7: that figured out.
- 23:05Speaker 3: But.
- 23:07Speaker 7: Like I said, this is one of those where there's
- 23:09Speaker 7: so many new coordinators across the league. I think it's
- 23:12Speaker 7: 21 offensive coordinators that were new, 15 defensive coordinators. And
- 23:17Speaker 7: I just think as a result of that, there are
- 23:19Speaker 7: just some units that are ready and clicking and others
- 23:23Speaker 7: that are not there yet. And especially with preseason, some
- 23:26Speaker 7: of these guys looked like they hadn't played football at all.
- 23:29Speaker 7: It felt like a final preseason game almost in terms
- 23:32Speaker 7: of the mistakes being made. Um, so again, it's like,
- 23:36Speaker 7: can you get all the rust out of your system
- 23:38Speaker 7: in week one and play like you mean to in week,
- 23:41Speaker 7: in week two? That's kind of the question now.
- 23:43Speaker 4: The biggest topic through two and a half shows this week, Greg,
- 23:46Speaker 4: has been Averro as the D.C.
- 23:48Speaker 3: And there's a lot of ire.
- 23:50Speaker 4: The fans are very upset with Averro because, you know,
- 23:53Speaker 4: two years ago they did have the worst defense ever.
- 23:56Speaker 4: And last year they got better. And then it looked
- 23:58Speaker 4: like the old defense the other day. Do you find
- 24:00Speaker 4: that the heat towards Averro is justified? Do you think
- 24:03Speaker 4: this is a combo of Averro and maybe the players
- 24:07Speaker 4: not executing?
- 24:08Speaker 7: I mean, I think it's definitely a valid question. I mean,
- 24:11Speaker 7: like Atlanta is the same way in terms of a
- 24:12Speaker 7: coach to get fired, but a DC that was kept on,
- 24:16Speaker 7: you know, and I think sometimes it makes sense for
- 24:18Speaker 7: continuity sake, but you know, it also might've been that
- 24:21Speaker 7: they were part of the problem and why a head
- 24:22Speaker 7: coach got fired, not, I'm sorry, not the canals got fired,
- 24:24Speaker 7: but just that changes weren't made when they could have.
- 24:27Speaker 7: So I think, you know, in all four NFC South teams,
- 24:30Speaker 7: you have the same defensive coordinators you did a year ago.
- 24:34Speaker 7: It's the opposite of an offense. There's a lot of
- 24:35Speaker 7: new places there. So I think, you know, you know,
- 24:39Speaker 7: they had trust in him. You know, I think of,
- 24:42Speaker 7: it's kind of like the change in offense for Carolina,
- 24:43Speaker 7: I think it's almost nothing just because it's, it can,
- 24:45Speaker 7: can Alice are so close and so much on the
- 24:48Speaker 7: same page. But defensively, I mean, if he's not the answer,
- 24:52Speaker 7: you're going to find out the wrong way. You know,
- 24:54Speaker 7: I think there was definitely some trust there that who
- 24:56Speaker 7: he had been and what he had done as a
- 24:58Speaker 7: coordinator needed time to play out. And if it doesn't,
- 25:02Speaker 7: if you add $ 160 million to your defense, And with
- 25:05Speaker 7: any regularity, it's giving up anything close to 59 points.
- 25:08Speaker 7: It's going to be a problem. I don't know that
- 25:10Speaker 7: it's something where a change has to be made midseason,
- 25:13Speaker 7: but it could be what holds them back. I mean,
- 25:15Speaker 7: you have to be careful. It's one of those where
- 25:17Speaker 7: if the offense is ready to start clicking, you know,
- 25:20Speaker 7: I mean, 37 is a nice big number. You just
- 25:23Speaker 7: have to put it in context of being three touchdowns
- 25:25Speaker 7: short of the other team. So this is a week
- 25:28Speaker 7: where if you put a 37 against Atlanta and, I
- 25:30Speaker 7: think it's pretty easy to think that you're going to
- 25:32Speaker 7: win that game.
- 25:33Speaker 3: If we put up 37 and lose, oh my God,
- 25:36Speaker 3: we are going to collectively lose our minds on Monday. Greg,
- 25:40Speaker 3: which team, they all lost, obviously, but which team in
- 25:43Speaker 3: the South, in the NFC South, do you think kind
- 25:46Speaker 3: of had the most impressive performance in defeat?
- 25:52Speaker 7: Probably you'd say the Saints right now, just because they
- 25:55Speaker 7: kind of came back more completely. I mean, shucked through
- 25:57Speaker 7: for 4-10. You know, Olave had a big game. They
- 26:01Speaker 7: moved the ball well. I think of Detroit as a
- 26:06Speaker 7: more formidable opponent, if you will. I mean, a lot
- 26:08Speaker 7: of these teams look the same. I mean, the Bucs
- 26:10Speaker 7: absolutely just dug a trench and are down 21-3 and
- 26:14Speaker 7: got back within a score, but didn't really look good.
- 26:17Speaker 7: You know, with the Saints, again, if you want to
- 26:19Speaker 7: be positive, you look at their offense and say, well,
- 26:21Speaker 7: that's starting to really click. Kellen Moore's got it. They've
- 26:24Speaker 7: got people to throw to. You know, I mean, they
- 26:27Speaker 7: were supposed to. Basically, you could have had a tie
- 26:29Speaker 7: if you wanted. I don't think anybody else in the
- 26:30Speaker 7: division can say that. And it's sad, but, I mean,
- 26:34Speaker 7: 0-0-1 would absolutely be leading this division.
- 26:38Speaker 3: And this is a division, Greg, where at the end, like,
- 26:40Speaker 3: a tie could be the difference. You know what I mean?
- 26:42Speaker 3: I expected it to be so tight. Like, so I
- 26:44Speaker 3: almost feel like maybe he messed up. But then again,
- 26:47Speaker 3: there was a minute 34 left. They could have tied
- 26:50Speaker 3: it and then lost on a field goal the other way.
- 26:53Speaker 3: He didn't take the ball, which was interesting. That was
- 26:55Speaker 3: an interesting one. Playing for the tie in the NFC
- 26:58Speaker 3: South might be the better idea. Yeah, you might be
- 27:00Speaker 3: able to win. Could you win the division with all ties?
- 27:02Speaker 3: You could get a couple of ties in there. All right, anyway.
- 27:05Speaker 7: You could definitely see where 8-8-1 would beat out 8-9.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
- 27:10Speaker 8: Think about it in September.
- 27:11Speaker 4: It is. It is.
- 27:12Speaker 3: It's like, to Bone's point, like a tie with all
- 27:14Speaker 3: the losses we expect our division winner to have.
- 27:17Speaker 2: It's not terrible. Especially against a good team like Detroit
- 27:19Speaker 2: on the road. But anyway, all right.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Greg, great stuff. Good stuff, Shark.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Great stuff from the Shark. The Shark.
- 27:24Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be your nickname as a writer. G'day, guys.
- 27:28Speaker 2: G'day, mate.
- 27:30Speaker 3: All right.
- 27:30Speaker 2: There you go. That is Greg Allman, FoxSports.com.
- 27:33Speaker 3: And we're getting a lot of comments because I said
- 27:36Speaker 3: about him being an NFC South writer. That is in
- 27:39Speaker 3: the past. He is now just a general NFL writer.
- 27:41Speaker 3: This texter says, oh, my God, this guy has the
- 27:44Speaker 3: worst job in America. He covers the NFC South.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Used to.
- 27:48Speaker 3: All right. He's free now to cover everybody. Husky Parts
- 27:53Speaker 3: compared a writer. Husky Pants. Husky Parts. Do you know
- 28:04Speaker 3: him better than we do? Oh, my God. Stop laughing.
- 28:09Speaker 3: How the hell do they call musky parts? Siddy had
- 28:13Speaker 3: that mop up already, too, by the way.
- 28:14Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 28:15Speaker 2: I'm sorry about that, y'all. I am literally, my gut
- 28:17Speaker 2: is hurting from laughing. All right.
- 28:19Speaker 3: Musky parts is a different texture.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Musky pants said that.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Why the heck did I say that?
- 28:28Speaker 2: He texts every day.
- 28:29Speaker 3: How did I say that name wrong? Husky Pants. Husky Pants.
- 28:34Speaker 5: What the hell?
- 28:36Speaker 2: How stupid is that, y'all?
- 28:37Speaker 3: You're always one with the listeners, Mac. You know them intimately,
- 28:40Speaker 3: I guess.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Oh, God.
- 28:43Speaker 3: That's a weird one.
- 28:44Speaker 5: All right.
- 28:44Speaker 3: No, Husky Pants. He has a great line. I can't
- 28:48Speaker 3: even get to it because we're laughing at me being
- 28:50Speaker 3: an idiot. Husky Pants said, being a writer that specializes
- 28:54Speaker 3: in the NFC South is like being a doctor that
- 28:58Speaker 3: specializes in proctology, which is a.
- 29:01Speaker 2: Good line, but not as funny as my mistake.
- 29:04Speaker 4: That's our first mistake since I said Greg Norman 20
- 29:06Speaker 4: minutes ago.
- 29:07Speaker 3: It's been a while. Been a while. All right, give
- 29:11Speaker 3: us a quick update, Fed here. Give us a quick one.
- 29:13Speaker 3: What do you got over there? Fitting.
- 29:28Speaker 5: Bud rocking in Gastonia with an appropriate text. Husky parts
- 29:33Speaker 5: are how I describe Bailey's backside.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Oh, hey now.
- 29:37Speaker 3: This guy now wants to Chad from Harrisburg wants to
- 29:40Speaker 3: be called Husky Parts. Oh, you can have that title, baby.
- 29:42Speaker 3: By the way, Philly, you got to be careful when
- 29:44Speaker 3: you say Fud Rocket. That is one where Mac cannot
- 29:46Speaker 3: say that word on the radio. Yeah, you got to
- 29:47Speaker 3: sneak up on that.
- 29:48Speaker 5: Even I was a little concerned saying that on the radio.

- 30:06Speaker 5: 704-334-9934. Nine, nine, three, four. How about this, Mac? A
- 30:18Speaker 5: round of applause for my guy, your guy, everybody's guy.
- 30:22Speaker 5: Pete Alonzo hit his 300th home run last night, and
- 30:27Speaker 5: it was appropriate he did so back at Citi Field
- 30:30Speaker 5: against the Mets. He got a curtain call, which irked
- 30:34Speaker 5: Mets pitcher Sean Minaya. as the Orioles would go on
- 30:38Speaker 5: to win the game 7-5 in extra innings.
- 30:40Speaker 3: Inside the park, three-run home run where your center fielder
- 30:42Speaker 3: fell down. By the way, I have never seen an
- 30:46Speaker 3: opposing fan base so happy that they didn't close out
- 30:49Speaker 3: a game in the ninth inning. That was so, I mean,
- 30:52Speaker 3: I know y'all love him and I thought that was
- 30:54Speaker 3: cool for him, but that was so weird, Bone, to
- 30:56Speaker 3: see the home team cheering a home run that just
- 30:59Speaker 3: tied them.
- 30:59Speaker 2: In the ninth. Yeah, unreal. And the pitcher was mad,
- 31:02Speaker 2: I don't blame him.
- 31:05Speaker 4: I'm still trying to work through the Husky Park situation
- 31:07Speaker 4: over here.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 31:09Speaker 4: I've never seen a mistake. Not since you fell off
- 31:11Speaker 4: the chair have we seen this many responses. I just
- 31:14Speaker 4: had no idea I did it either.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 31:16Speaker 7: Oh, geez.
- 31:17Speaker 4: All right, we come back on the Mac and Bone Show.
- 31:19Speaker 4: It is time for Random Crap. Sean Payton is being
- 31:23Speaker 4: a weasel. Martha Stewart says she might do what? Bears
- 31:26Speaker 4: fans are mad. And do we have a bro code
- 31:29Speaker 4: violation from a pro athlete?
- 31:32Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. All that and more. It's Mac.
- 31:35Speaker 3: It's Bone. It's Husky Parks on Sports Radio. 92.7 WFNZ.
- 31:46Speaker 6: Random crap, random crap. Mac and Bone talk, random crap.
- 31:50Speaker 6: Random crap, random crap. Mac and Bone talk, random crap. Random,
- 31:56Speaker 6: random crap. Random crap, random crap.
- 32:02Speaker 3: What the deuce?
- 32:04Speaker 7: Oh, crap.
- 32:04Speaker 4: Oh, crap.
- 32:05Speaker 3: We stink. like a baby's blowout-infested diaper.
- 32:09Speaker 2: They talk about crap that is random.
- 32:11Speaker 7: It's the Queen City's favorite born in tandem.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Mack and Bone.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Random crap. Mack and Bone.
- 32:22Speaker 3: All right, y'all, let's do some random crap here, ladies
- 32:25Speaker 3: and gentlemen. Bears fans, by the way, Mad Bone. Not
- 32:29Speaker 3: at anything that happened on Sunday, of course. The Bears
- 32:31Speaker 3: fans are mad at PFF because they gave Caleb Williams
- 32:34Speaker 3: a 62.5 grade. He is 20th. He is the 20th
- 32:39Speaker 3: highest ranked quarterback ever. Via PFF.
- 32:45Speaker 4: You're not going to roll in here and take on
- 32:47Speaker 4: the Panthers defense and get high grades.
- 32:48Speaker 3: It's just not going to happen.
- 32:49Speaker 2: He wasn't even average. Think about that, Bone. They didn't
- 32:51Speaker 2: even think he was average.
- 32:53Speaker 3: We watched him dance around our guys and make play
- 32:55Speaker 3: after play in PFF.
- 32:56Speaker 2: Again, I subscribe to him. I like the information. But
- 32:59Speaker 2: some of the grades are like, were.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Y'all high while you did that grading? Are you kidding me?
- 33:04Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, Derrick Brown got a very low
- 33:06Speaker 4: grade for PFF. I'm not saying that's wrong, but you
- 33:08Speaker 4: don't normally see that. He got, what did he get,
- 33:11Speaker 4: a 30? I think he was in the 30s.
- 33:13Speaker 3: He still had four pressures, according to PFF, which is interesting.
- 33:16Speaker 3: He had a 31.7, the lowest grade on the defense.
- 33:21Speaker 3: But he had three run stops, too. I still thought
- 33:24Speaker 3: he made plays, but those penalties were killer, man. Killer.
- 33:27Speaker 3: But anyway, PFF, Bears fans are canceling their PFF subscriptions
- 33:32Speaker 3: in protest right now. Oh, you got 1,000 points. Settle down,
- 33:36Speaker 3: all right?
- 33:37Speaker 2: My word. All right, let's get to Sean Payton.
- 33:39Speaker 3: And Ben Johnson. I heard what he said about the
- 33:40Speaker 3: 60 also, Ben Johnson. Oh, yeah, we got to do that.
- 33:43Speaker 3: Let's do that. Let's do that. Top of the hour?
- 33:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Let's let you know what Ben Johnson said.
- 33:49Speaker 3: Can you move on, Ben? You got another game coming up.
- 33:51Speaker 3: But let's get to, before we deal with that egomaniac,
- 33:54Speaker 3: let's deal with another one on the sidelines, Sean Payton.
- 33:58Speaker 3: If y'all missed it, the other night Adam Schefter reported that–
- 34:03Speaker 3: Two assistants reached out from the Denver Broncos after Bo
- 34:10Speaker 3: Nix was hurt against the Bills last year, going into
- 34:12Speaker 3: the AFC title game to ask Drew Brees, do you
- 34:15Speaker 3: want to make a comeback and play for the first
- 34:16Speaker 3: time in five years at the age of 47? And
- 34:19Speaker 3: the report says Drew Brees went out there, did a
- 34:22Speaker 3: literal like workout and said, I can't do this.
- 34:25Speaker 6: I'm 47.
- 34:25Speaker 2: It ain't gonna work.
- 34:28Speaker 3: It was Carmichael Lombardi, two guys that were with Sean
- 34:31Speaker 3: Payton in New Orleans, no Drew Brees, and were with
- 34:34Speaker 3: him in Denver. Sean Payton, Bone, is playing dumb in
- 34:39Speaker 3: the press conference. He might not be playing. Listen to
- 34:42Speaker 3: this answer. He is trying to convince everybody, Bone. He
- 34:46Speaker 3: just found out recently that they called Drew Brees the
- 34:49Speaker 3: week of the AFC title game. Anybody buying this?
- 34:52Speaker 2: Listen to this.
- 34:54Speaker 8: Who had reached out, I think, right after the championship
- 34:58Speaker 8: or right before the, right after the playoff went against Buffalo.
- 35:02Speaker 8: And I think he called Pete, probably text Peter, Joe,
- 35:07Speaker 8: those guys, look, none of it even came to my attention.
- 35:11Speaker 8: So when the story came up in Canton, I kept
- 35:15Speaker 8: thinking they were just, you know, talking about the COVID season.
- 35:19Speaker 8: And even, even in the COVID season, when he and
- 35:22Speaker 8: I discussed possibly coming back for a Monday night game,
- 35:25Speaker 8: you know, he had trouble throwing it. So I don't
- 35:28Speaker 8: think really anything really came of it. I think in
- 35:32Speaker 8: Drew's mind, you know, there's that competitor in him. And
- 35:38Speaker 8: so I was kind of out of the loop and
- 35:41Speaker 8: I don't think it's, yeah, I don't think it's a
- 35:45Speaker 8: big story, but nonetheless, certainly one that once they described
- 35:50Speaker 8: it to me, that it just never got to my level,
- 35:52Speaker 8: I guess, you know, he had, He had reached out
- 35:55Speaker 8: to Pete, I think, and then Joe.
- 35:57Speaker 2: So he's saying that Drew Brees.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Dirty liar.
- 35:59Speaker 2: He's saying that he did not sound like he had
- 36:01Speaker 2: much conviction there on.
- 36:02Speaker 3: What was going on.
- 36:03Speaker 2: No, it makes no sense.
- 36:04Speaker 3: That's like when you get caught by your lady in
- 36:05Speaker 3: a lie and you're just like, ah, I got nothing.
- 36:08Speaker 4: Even if, Mac, you said that he did reach out
- 36:10Speaker 4: and they didn't bring it to you during the week.
- 36:12Speaker 3: So you went all the way. to canton in august
- 36:15Speaker 3: and you had you never never heard one thing about
- 36:17Speaker 3: it you talked to drew breeze all the time you
- 36:19Speaker 3: talked and your assistants your assistant coaches didn't say to
- 36:22Speaker 3: you so even if you didn't know then we'll just
- 36:24Speaker 3: pretend he didn't know then no one brought it up
- 36:26Speaker 3: along the way you didn't find out until you overheard
- 36:28Speaker 3: a conversation it's crazy it's a dirty nasty liar i
- 36:33Speaker 3: big time yeah what a weasel and by the way
- 36:35Speaker 3: if you're wondering why would he lie number one is
- 36:39Speaker 3: um Number one is Bone, he is still, believe it
- 36:44Speaker 3: or not, tied to the Saints. He is still on
- 36:49Speaker 3: the retired or some list. Mike Florio wrote about it.
- 36:53Speaker 3: It could literally be a tampering charge, Bone, if it
- 36:57Speaker 3: comes out that they were doing that sort of thing. Secondly,
- 37:01Speaker 3: he probably doesn't want Jared Stidham to know. Some of
- 37:06Speaker 3: our guys thought that it would be better to play
- 37:08Speaker 3: a 47-year-old man than you. Yes. So there's a lot
- 37:11Speaker 3: going on there. But damn, he sounded Weasley. We ain't
- 37:13Speaker 3: buying that story, bro. We are not buying that damn story.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Martha Stewart put up an Instagram post. What's this all about?
- 37:21Speaker 3: Finney's excited about this. She put up an Instagram post
- 37:24Speaker 3: this week. Should I release my nudes? Hell yeah. What's
- 37:28Speaker 3: up with that?
- 37:28Speaker 2: Are you excited? Would you like that, Finney?
- 37:30Speaker 5: I've been waiting on this for about a decade.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:33Speaker 3: She's 85.
- 37:34Speaker 5: She still looks pretty good for 85, though.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Hold on a minute. You guys actually thought she's going
- 37:38Speaker 3: to put out nude photos? I read about it in Barstool.
- 37:41Speaker 3: That's the bastion of Big J journalism, right? Why don't
- 37:44Speaker 3: you read what she said about it? She said it's
- 37:47Speaker 3: a marketing ploy. They're not photographs.
- 37:49Speaker 4: It's a forthcoming line of nude lip serums for day
- 37:52Speaker 4: and night from her age-focused skincare brand.
- 37:55Speaker 2: What a tease. It's lipstick, basically. She teased all of us.
- 37:59Speaker 3: You guys really thought— and by the way, Phoenix— I totally
- 38:01Speaker 3: thought she might do it. She was in the SI
- 38:03Speaker 3: Swimsuit issue a couple years ago. She settled down back there.
- 38:05Speaker 3: My Lord, I'm warning you.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Oh, his excitement, by the way.
- 38:08Speaker 3: His excitement to see an 85-year-old Martha Stewart. My God,
- 38:11Speaker 3: she's older than Mama. Don't y'all tell me you.
- 38:13Speaker 5: Weren't intrigued when you saw the news about what— Intrigued, intrigued, yes. Intrigued.
- 38:18Speaker 5: Your eyebrow was raised.
- 38:20Speaker 3: It was, but it turns out I messed up again
- 38:22Speaker 3: because I missed the following post. I thought you were
- 38:25Speaker 3: joking about it. I didn't realize you guys thought it
- 38:27Speaker 3: was really a thing. But that's what she wanted you
- 38:28Speaker 3: to do. I didn't see the follow-up. I saw all
- 38:31Speaker 3: the articles that were written saying, look what Martha Stewart
- 38:33Speaker 3: posted here. Oh, my God, is she going to do it?
- 38:35Speaker 3: I don't think she's just going to go out there
- 38:36Speaker 3: and say, who wants to see my nudes? I don't
- 38:38Speaker 3: think that's going to be how she's going to word it.
- 38:39Speaker 5: She'll be on OnlyFans by the end of the month.
- 38:41Speaker 5: Here's my 10 bucks.
- 38:42Speaker 3: She's a woman of class. Oh, really?
- 38:45Speaker 2: Come on now.
- 38:46Speaker 3: She did the swimsuit issue not that long ago. So
- 38:48Speaker 3: swimsuit issue to nudes? I thought it was a natural progression.
- 38:50Speaker 3: I'm more concerned about how fired up Fiddy got over this.
- 38:53Speaker 2: He did. He did. All right, last clip because this
- 38:55Speaker 2: has me fired up, Fiddy. This ain't right.
- 38:57Speaker 3: This is the only type of thing getting me into tennis.
- 38:59Speaker 2: So what is the name of the dude that won
- 39:01Speaker 2: the U.S.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Open, Fiddy? Zeb? Zeb?
- 39:03Speaker 1: What is it?
- 39:03Speaker 5: Sasha Zverev.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Zverev.
- 39:05Speaker 8: All right.
- 39:05Speaker 2: So he wins the U.S.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Open.
- 39:07Speaker 3: He beats American Ben Shelton. Keeps the American man, you know,
- 39:11Speaker 3: Schneid going as far as winning the U.S. Open. And
- 39:14Speaker 3: then he flirts with Ben Shelton's girlfriend, Trinity Rodman.
- 39:19Speaker 2: They all do speeches, right, Fitty, after.
- 39:21Speaker 3: They win or whatever?
- 39:22Speaker 1: Correct.
- 39:22Speaker 3: He uses part of his time to flirt with Ben
- 39:25Speaker 3: Shelton's girlfriend.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Listen to this.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Is this not a bro code man love? violation to
- 39:31Speaker 3: beat somebody in tennis and then do this?
- 39:33Speaker 2: Listen to this.
- 39:34Speaker 5: In Trinity, I thought you had a game today.
- 39:37Speaker 1: No?
- 39:38Speaker 3: Well done to you as well.
- 39:40Speaker 5: You're the lucky charm, so I'm happy.
- 39:44Speaker 3: Not today, but usually. Am I wrong to think Ben
- 39:50Speaker 3: Shelton should want to take his racket and hit this
- 39:52Speaker 3: dude over the head? Like, is that or am I overreacting?
- 39:54Speaker 3: What do y'all think about that?
- 39:55Speaker 4: Or you can just let Trinity Rodman's father know what happened,
- 39:58Speaker 4: have him take care of the whole situation.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they're strange.
- 40:02Speaker 3: I don't know. She ain't too fond of old Worm.
- 40:05Speaker 3: Dennis Rodman. That's his nickname, Worm. I don't want anybody
- 40:07Speaker 3: to think I'm saying something weird here. Y'all know his
- 40:12Speaker 3: nickname is Worm. Don't be laughing over there, skillets.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Finney.
- 40:16Speaker 3: Address the issue with me here. Is this a bro code? Like,
- 40:21Speaker 3: is that wrong? Yeah.
- 40:24Speaker 2: That's not cool, is it, dude?
- 40:26Speaker 5: Probably not for time or the place.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Like, have you ever seen anything like that in your life?
- 40:30Speaker 5: Well, I've seen worse bro code violations.
- 40:33Speaker 3: With an athlete, I just beat you and now I'm
- 40:36Speaker 3: flirting publicly with your girl. Like, that's weird to me, man. Yeah.
- 40:39Speaker 5: But, hey, he won the U.S. Open, so he can
- 40:41Speaker 5: do whatever he wants.
- 40:42Speaker 2: All right, we got you back down.
- 40:43Speaker 4: It looks like that's a little bit. You already won
- 40:45Speaker 4: the match, and now you're doubling.
- 40:46Speaker 3: Down by trying. What are you doing with that? I
- 40:48Speaker 3: know maybe you're trying to be funny, but, like, I wouldn't.
- 40:50Speaker 3: I can't imagine Ben Shelton like that. Bro, you beat me,
- 40:53Speaker 3: and now you're over there. And she's over there giggling.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Like, it's like, damn.
- 40:58Speaker 4: No, that's the ultimate disrespect. You beat him and then
- 41:00Speaker 4: you hollered at his woman. You can't do that.
- 41:02Speaker 3: We got you back now after the worm incident.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't say anything.
- 41:06Speaker 3: I didn't say anything, by the way. We lost you.
- 41:08Speaker 2: You had turned around just dying laughing, staring at Fitty.
- 41:11Speaker 4: Multiple people asking, when will Granny Pat make the announcement?
- 41:17Speaker 3: About her nudes. And would Finney have the same excitement
- 41:21Speaker 3: he did for Martha?
- 41:22Speaker 8: 100%.
- 41:22Speaker 7: Oh, geez.
- 41:22Speaker 2: All right, when we.
- 41:26Speaker 4: Come back, you're going to hear what Ben Johnson said
- 41:29Speaker 4: to make us mad still. And are you readjusting your
- 41:34Speaker 4: expectations for the Panthers' offense after game one? Or are
- 41:38Speaker 4: you at least upping your expectations for certain players on
- 41:42Speaker 4: the offense? Mack Bones, Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
