Latest / Mac & Bone Podcast / Mac & Bone Hour 2: Where Does Bryce Rank on Panthers Roster
Transcript
- 0:24Speaker 1: Yeah, Derek Brown's the largest human I've ever seen. I
- 0:27Speaker 1: tried to go run into a positive yards and ended
- 0:29Speaker 1: up sliding hand. He just put all his way into me,
- 0:32Speaker 1: and I was.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Like, Brown just waylaid schuck. That's gonna be a personal
- 0:38Speaker 2: foul against Derek Brown.
- 0:40Speaker 1: They called the flag for it, but I think it
- 0:41Speaker 1: was just because of how big he was. Honestly, like,
- 0:43Speaker 1: it wasn't that late, but he's problem.
- 0:46Speaker 3: That is Tyler Shuck, Saints quarterback. That was his portion
- 0:50Speaker 3: of the Derek Brown is ranked number ninety little two
- 0:53Speaker 3: and a half minute montage they put together to have
- 0:56Speaker 3: one for Bryce that's circulating on social media too from
- 0:58Speaker 3: last week. If you did not see that when Bryce
- 1:01Speaker 3: was ranked ninety eighth on the NFL players list, and
- 1:04Speaker 3: what we just heard there bone was an admission from
- 1:06Speaker 3: Tyler Shuck, and I do think he admitted it already.
- 1:10Speaker 3: But Tyler Shuck sold that call. That's how Derek Brown
- 1:15Speaker 3: got called. He sold the other one too, the Ransom one,
- 1:18Speaker 3: but he sold the Derek Brown one bone where he
- 1:20Speaker 3: ended up laying on the ground flat on his back
- 1:23Speaker 3: like he's a damn soccer player looking for a penalty
- 1:25Speaker 3: in the box. And now you finally say, yeah, I
- 1:29Speaker 3: don't think it really was a penalty. It's just because
- 1:31Speaker 3: he was so darned big yeah, and you're acting and
- 1:34Speaker 3: your neaymar esque acting to Sir Daniel Daleu was like,
- 1:40Speaker 3: oh my goodness, don't give him that sort of compliment though,
- 1:42Speaker 3: boneh too good of an actor, don't give him that.
- 1:45Speaker 4: Mac.
- 1:46Speaker 5: We have some news during the break about one of
- 1:48Speaker 5: your favorite Texters, Picante. Yes, we're gonna send him some
- 1:51Speaker 5: love right now because this is apparently the last time
- 1:54Speaker 5: we'll ever hear from Pcante. He's a noted he's one
- 1:57Speaker 5: of would you say with b bop he's one of
- 2:00Speaker 5: the top one, two three Bryce haters out there.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Yes, definitely.
- 2:05Speaker 5: He often doesn't always fully pay attention to what's going on,
- 2:08Speaker 5: he said, and I quote, if Bryce Young makes an
- 2:12Speaker 5: NFL top one hundred list, I'll stop watching sports forever. Oh, Picante,
- 2:17Speaker 5: you missed the last week where Bryce Young mack checked in, where.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Number ninety eight.
- 2:26Speaker 3: He get yourself a hobby, sir, alright, because sports is
- 2:32Speaker 3: no longer in.
- 2:35Speaker 6: That.
- 2:36Speaker 5: Is this the same guy that'll bet me one time
- 2:38Speaker 5: on something that happened, and that he bet me on
- 2:40Speaker 5: a game or whatever it was, or no, it was Duke.
- 2:43Speaker 5: He said that he bet me that Duke would not
- 2:45Speaker 5: be Florida last college basketball season, and he's he made
- 2:49Speaker 5: that bet in February after Duke beat that too much away.
- 2:51Speaker 3: He does miss some things, doesn't he. And so the
- 2:53Speaker 3: thing about the Bryce Young thing is we literally mentioned
- 2:56Speaker 3: it multiple times in the last segment of radio, and
- 2:59Speaker 3: he's been on somehow miss and he's.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Been on the text lines at six ams.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Oh my god, look at Pacante, Oh my god, got him,
- 3:08Speaker 3: got him all right?
- 3:09Speaker 5: Any I recommend the Real Housewives. There's various installments. Go
- 3:13Speaker 5: find something else to do, man, Go find a board game.
- 3:15Speaker 2: P content.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Can you dog set a crazy puppy for bone by
- 3:18Speaker 3: any chance now in your new free time.
- 3:20Speaker 2: By the way, just got a photo of Murphy.
- 3:21Speaker 5: He's listening to the show for the first time today
- 3:24Speaker 5: and he's asleep in his cage.
- 3:25Speaker 3: There you go, man, there you go. Maybe he just
- 3:28Speaker 3: don't let him out of that at all, though I
- 3:30Speaker 3: don't know. Anyway, let's still put me in there. At
- 3:32Speaker 3: some point.
- 3:33Speaker 2: We've got what the bleep.
- 3:34Speaker 3: We're gonna have some fun with some what the bleep stories,
- 3:36Speaker 3: And there's some soundbites too that must be played for
- 3:38Speaker 3: what to bleep this week.
- 3:40Speaker 2: But let's go to this.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Let's go to this little exercise here of seeing where
- 3:46Speaker 3: Panther fans think Bryce ranks. He may be the second
- 3:49Speaker 3: highest guy according to the players on the Panthers if
- 3:51Speaker 3: they don't put JC Horn or somebody else bone in
- 3:54Speaker 3: their top one hundred other than Derek Brown and Bryce.
- 3:57Speaker 3: But where would Panther fans like y'all out there like
- 4:00Speaker 3: us here, Where would you rank Bryce among Panther players?
- 4:05Speaker 3: So let's just start at one. But we'll just each
- 4:07Speaker 3: go back and forth and we'll see how far we go.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Hopefully we don't need like a second segment for this.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Hopefully we don't go that far before naming Bryce. B
- 4:14Speaker 3: list got pretty jam packed at the bottom. I didn't realize, Mac,
- 4:18Speaker 3: we got a lot of good football players these days.
- 4:20Speaker 2: How did this happened?
- 4:21Speaker 5: I got fifteen guys I wrote down here as options.
- 4:23Speaker 5: We got a lot of We got some good players.
- 4:25Speaker 5: Man Scott Fedder wants to know how the hell Dan
- 4:27Speaker 5: Morgan let this happen? Not on his watch? Bone?
- 4:30Speaker 2: Did we have this deep of good football players? No rules?
- 4:32Speaker 2: That's why I told you. In seven years, you're gonna
- 4:34Speaker 2: get that roster that there you'll be at Nebraska chucking corn.
- 4:38Speaker 3: So number one coach over there. Number one. I have
- 4:41Speaker 3: gone with Derek Brown. I also have dB number one,
- 4:45Speaker 3: and I don't know if any fans would like push
- 4:47Speaker 3: back on on dB being our best player. But we
- 4:50Speaker 3: just read off all the accolades. Even in a year
- 4:53Speaker 3: where the analytics guys are saying, hey didn't have the
- 4:55Speaker 3: same analytic numbers.
- 4:57Speaker 2: The look at the PAYFF numbers.
- 4:59Speaker 3: I mean still les defensive interior alignment and stops and
- 5:02Speaker 3: had an amazing season.
- 5:03Speaker 2: It should have been a Pro Bowl season. Number two.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Again, speaking of analytics, I know the analytics bone say
- 5:10Speaker 3: that Mike Jackson had a better season last year, but
- 5:13Speaker 3: I go with the two time Pro bowler j C.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Horn. I still go j C. Horn as our second
- 5:19Speaker 2: best player. Bone. I also agree on j C.
- 5:22Speaker 7: Horn.
- 5:23Speaker 5: I don't really think that dB. To me, there's not
- 5:26Speaker 5: really much debate there and I don't honestly, I know
- 5:29Speaker 5: that there's some things to clean up in his game,
- 5:33Speaker 5: but I still think j C. Horne of this list
- 5:35Speaker 5: is number two. Less penalties, definitely need less penalies. Now
- 5:40Speaker 5: here's where we might start different. I put Jalen Phillips
- 5:44Speaker 5: at number three, Okay, Devin Lloyd for me number three.
- 5:49Speaker 5: He put Devin Lloyd number three. I mean to call
- 5:51Speaker 5: the damn all pro as I call him, Heavin Lloyd,
- 5:53Speaker 5: because that guy is gonna put us in football.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Heaven, I don't. I kind of just made that. Don't
- 5:57Speaker 3: think he wasn't all pro last year. But I'm telling
- 6:00Speaker 3: you the combination of Phillips making plays in the run
- 6:02Speaker 3: game pressures that's a versatile dude.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Not that Devin Lloyd isn't. Man.
- 6:07Speaker 3: This is a guy that was one of the best
- 6:09Speaker 3: blitzing linebackers last year and was second in the league
- 6:12Speaker 3: in interceptions with five last year. At number four, I
- 6:16Speaker 3: put another new Panther, Devin Lloyd. And for somebody was
- 6:19Speaker 3: asking earlier in the show on the text line, I
- 6:22Speaker 3: don't understand why does everybody think this Panthers defense is
- 6:25Speaker 3: going to be so good? Well, here's an example right here.
- 6:28Speaker 3: The guy I think is the third best player on
- 6:29Speaker 3: the team and the fourth best player on the team
- 6:31Speaker 3: has just been added to this defense. Yeah he was
- 6:34Speaker 3: again pff, take you know, take it for what it's worth.
- 6:37Speaker 3: But as a reference. He was not only first team
- 6:40Speaker 3: All Pro at linebacker last year, but Devin Lloyd had
- 6:42Speaker 3: the second best of all linebackers great PFF grade last
- 6:46Speaker 3: year overall grade.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I went the opposite of the note.
- 6:49Speaker 3: I went Phillips for okay, all right, So we're still
- 6:52Speaker 3: pretty similar here.
- 6:53Speaker 5: We're still I think you can do we can battle
- 6:55Speaker 5: that one. I think they're both going to be impactful,
- 6:57Speaker 5: just you know the level yeat.
- 6:59Speaker 3: And the question is is where does Bryce appear on
- 7:01Speaker 3: this list? Like this is I was pleasantly surprised the
- 7:05Speaker 3: players had him in their top one hundred, but like,
- 7:07Speaker 3: where does he rank? You know, when we as Panther
- 7:10Speaker 3: fans rank our best players, like and I'm going basically,
- 7:13Speaker 3: and I'm sure you are two bone, how good are
- 7:14Speaker 3: they at what they do?
- 7:16Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 7:17Speaker 3: So like how good is Bryce compared to quarterbacks? Based
- 7:20Speaker 3: on how good is Brown compared to his peers? And
- 7:22Speaker 3: that sort of This is where they are entering the season.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Obviously there are some names here towards the bottom of
- 7:28Speaker 3: this ten that we expect them to maybe crack this list.
- 7:33Speaker 5: Not far into the season, Bryce moves up on this list.
- 7:36Speaker 5: To be honest with you, so this is sort of
- 7:38Speaker 5: so there's some young players that we expect to move up,
- 7:41Speaker 5: but entering the season, this is.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Where they are.
- 7:42Speaker 3: I went with my man, Damien Lewis at number five,
- 7:45Speaker 3: one of the most underrated Panthers I've ever seen. Again,
- 7:49Speaker 3: I don't I'm not acting like PFF is the end
- 7:51Speaker 3: on the be all. The eye test, as fans is
- 7:54Speaker 3: most important, and he passes the eye test. But he
- 7:57Speaker 3: was the seventh highest rated PFF guardland to your third
- 8:00Speaker 3: and pass pro. And he's just he's reliable bone, he's
- 8:04Speaker 3: a true pro, doesn't need a lot of attention.
- 8:06Speaker 2: He's great.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Man.
- 8:07Speaker 5: I had him at five. I had Marrig at five. Okay,
- 8:10Speaker 5: all right, So I've got a lot of defense here
- 8:13Speaker 5: in my top all five defense.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Which again is a reason why look at these studs
- 8:18Speaker 3: on defense. It's what Mina Kimes was talking about. They
- 8:21Speaker 3: have impact players and impact positions on defense.
- 8:24Speaker 5: Joan Ray wants just only right players that were Panthers
- 8:27Speaker 5: last season. Well, you know these guys are now part
- 8:29Speaker 5: of the team now, So what is that? What are
- 8:32Speaker 5: we doing here?
- 8:32Speaker 3: I have seen Jalen Phillips in his process, blue man,
- 8:36Speaker 3: I have seen it the Panthers tweeted it out one
- 8:38Speaker 3: of these past couple of weeks. So I can't unsee it, Joseph,
- 8:41Speaker 3: I cannot. I have Merrig at six, so we're very similar. Yeah,
- 8:48Speaker 3: what a chess piece he is. Man, he's a dog too.
- 8:51Speaker 3: He's a tone center. The way he'll hit you, but
- 8:53Speaker 3: the way you can put him up. The versatility is
- 8:55Speaker 3: a he is. He's what we were hoping Chin was
- 8:58Speaker 3: gonna be. And for some reason a Varo never really
- 9:01Speaker 3: saw it with him, but he sees it with Merrig.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Man like big Nickel in the slot, cover up into boxing,
- 9:07Speaker 3: the run game, blitzen, you know, doing everything man made
- 9:09Speaker 3: to pay, big play, deep in coverage, bone against the
- 9:12Speaker 3: Packers like he does it all.
- 9:13Speaker 5: You and I right now are like mister Rogers and
- 9:15Speaker 5: mister mcpheeley in the Taen neighborhood, just hanging out together.
- 9:18Speaker 3: So who do you gotta Secott who was at six? Okay,
- 9:20Speaker 3: So it's very similar, very similar.
- 9:22Speaker 2: This is where it might get.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Seven on down is where we may have some different Fitty,
- 9:28Speaker 3: are you upset with me? I have Mike Jack at seven.
- 9:32Speaker 3: You're the president of the Mike Jack fan club. He
- 9:34Speaker 3: did after all Bone have the second best PFF coverage
- 9:39Speaker 3: grade in the entire NFL last year, gave up a
- 9:43Speaker 3: sixty five QB rating, which is a great number, eleven
- 9:46Speaker 3: PBUs and five interceptions. He had a rough start to
- 9:48Speaker 3: the season, but my god, he finished strong.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Are you okay with me putting him at number seven?
- 9:54Speaker 2: Panther Fitty, I think that's fair.
- 9:56Speaker 6: I think it's respectable, and I do think MACKI probably
- 9:59Speaker 6: checks in at seven then because of how bad he
- 10:02Speaker 6: was the first art of the year, Like, you can
- 10:04Speaker 6: call me the president of the Mike Jack Fan Club
- 10:06Speaker 6: and I'll take that. So I don't put that much
- 10:07Speaker 6: Twitter bio later today, please do. But after the game.
- 10:10Speaker 5: Again, Mike Mike Jack Fan Club, don't forget the mic
- 10:12Speaker 5: part of that. There play sir, and you're when you
- 10:15Speaker 5: put that on.
- 10:16Speaker 3: There, Oh you don't need you get behave yourself boned,
- 10:19Speaker 3: behave yourself.
- 10:19Speaker 2: That was actually a good call.
- 10:21Speaker 6: But if you go back to the games after New England,
- 10:23Speaker 6: even in the wins over Miami in Dallas, like I
- 10:26Speaker 6: was saying that trading for a corner could have been on
- 10:28Speaker 6: the table for that team because of how bad he was,
- 10:32Speaker 6: So seventh fair considering how good he was the back
- 10:35Speaker 6: half of the year.
- 10:36Speaker 2: It was a I have no issue.
- 10:37Speaker 3: It was a great season, which is why Fittie I
- 10:39Speaker 3: might try to tempt him with like a two year,
- 10:41Speaker 3: thirty million dollar dal see what he bites.
- 10:43Speaker 2: You know, I might leave bikes like Murphy for.
- 10:47Speaker 3: I forgot, but we're doing a list here. I know,
- 10:49Speaker 3: thought we were just doing Mike Jack appreciation.
- 10:51Speaker 5: He's only ranked his seventh guy on the list.
- 10:54Speaker 2: Who do you have at seven?
- 10:55Speaker 5: I got t Mac at seven, okay, and I think
- 10:59Speaker 5: that is one of those guys I was talking about.
- 11:02Speaker 5: I don't expect him to be down there at seven
- 11:04Speaker 5: for vera well. I think he's he's gonna move up
- 11:06Speaker 5: this list before, not too far from definitely definitely number eight.
- 11:10Speaker 5: I have Taylor Moten. If Damian Lewis is one of
- 11:12Speaker 5: the most underrated Panthers of all time, Taylor Moten certainly
- 11:17Speaker 5: is on that list. Still fifteen graded guard on PFF last.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Year, I wrote Mike Jack for number eight, Okay, I
- 11:24Speaker 3: got Moten eight, You got Mike Jack. I have t
- 11:27Speaker 3: Maac number nine.
- 11:29Speaker 5: And the reason not the same names here, which is
- 11:31Speaker 5: interesting to say, no one different and no one's put
- 11:33Speaker 5: JJ Jansen. We were being shamed by the text line
- 11:35Speaker 5: for not having JJ Janssen.
- 11:37Speaker 2: I here's what I'm trying to do. He's already in
- 11:39Speaker 2: this He's in the senior committee.
- 11:40Speaker 3: List let me let me do some splaining here, JJ,
- 11:43Speaker 3: the cheese stands alone, all right, JJ Janssen stands alone.
- 11:47Speaker 5: And that's a big old that's a big old agent
- 11:48Speaker 5: hounkas list Hunkers swift.
- 11:51Speaker 2: But it still smells fine, though, Man, it doesn't stink.
- 11:54Speaker 2: I get old.
- 11:54Speaker 3: He's the cheese you left out. But that man is
- 11:57Speaker 3: in his own stratosphere, all right, and that is assumed.
- 12:00Speaker 3: This is the top ten. This is the top ten
- 12:02Speaker 3: besides the obvious top ten. Mortals okay not God's deities
- 12:06Speaker 3: are not included. So anyway, I put t mac nine.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Who'd you put it?
- 12:09Speaker 5: Now?
- 12:09Speaker 2: Vote number nine? Okay, all right?
- 12:11Speaker 3: I put it on the fitties, guy y right, number
- 12:13Speaker 3: ninety nine on their rostern. All right, do y'all out
- 12:16Speaker 3: there listening. The whole point of this exercise. It's kind
- 12:18Speaker 3: of fun to riante the panther players, But the whole
- 12:20Speaker 3: point of exercise is like, when do we get to Bryce?
- 12:23Speaker 3: The players might have Bryce as our second highest rateed
- 12:26Speaker 3: player on their list. But when do we get to
- 12:28Speaker 3: Bryce Bone. I am now going to complete the top
- 12:30Speaker 3: ten without Bryce Robert Hunt absolute mauler man. This team
- 12:35Speaker 3: wants to run football, absolute maler great influence in the
- 12:38Speaker 3: locker room. Do you put Bryce at ten or still
- 12:42Speaker 3: or out of the top ten?
- 12:44Speaker 5: Robert Hut number ten? And then the next what I
- 12:48Speaker 5: said the depth of the list Bryce eleven. Though I
- 12:51Speaker 5: want you to know Bryce eleven My ten guys, I'm
- 12:54Speaker 5: putting in a Bryce. There are five other guys, Mack,
- 12:57Speaker 5: that you could make a case for or they're eventually
- 13:00Speaker 5: I think going to crack this list. Here a guy
- 13:03Speaker 5: like Nick Gordon, where does he end up at the
- 13:06Speaker 5: like we do this a year from now. We've got
- 13:07Speaker 5: a sending guys scoring. Where's Jonathan Brooks? Cuba's there, Cuba Cocher,
- 13:12Speaker 5: Bryce Cuba went healthy. We saw a couple of years
- 13:16Speaker 5: ago he could be that dude. He's got to string
- 13:18Speaker 5: those seasons. So now you can go fifteen deep on
- 13:21Speaker 5: this list and make cases for a lot of guys. Uh,
- 13:25Speaker 5: which one do you think Mac is? Most people people,
- 13:27Speaker 5: He's gotta move up the list the most. In the
- 13:29Speaker 5: next sea, I hope Bryce.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Bryce better move up that if Bryce, you know, if
- 13:32Speaker 3: Bryce doesn't move up that list, Bone, we both don't
- 13:35Speaker 3: think he's in the top ten Panther players as far
- 13:38Speaker 3: as contract goes. He's got to move up that list.
- 13:41Speaker 3: People are upset with us. People think we are disrespecting Bryce.
- 13:46Speaker 3: We have empowered Bebop speaks volumes of Bryce heat Fans says,
- 13:51Speaker 3: the disrespect of Bryce is pathetic. You might as well
- 13:55Speaker 3: be Bryce haters too. Is it disrespect of Bryce or
- 13:59Speaker 3: is it being an.
- 13:59Speaker 5: Hond Morgan done a great job and extending the depth
- 14:04Speaker 5: of the roster.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Also, is this a problem? Fitty?
- 14:07Speaker 3: Is this a problem? This dude says? That says it
- 14:10Speaker 3: all right there? If a dude doesn't rank among your
- 14:13Speaker 3: top ten players, he doesn't deserve to get paid, and
- 14:16Speaker 3: he ain't a franchise quarterback. Do you find this to
- 14:20Speaker 3: be like, were we unfair, Fitty? Or do you if
- 14:23Speaker 3: we're if we're being fair, do you find it to
- 14:25Speaker 3: be some problem that our quarterback ranks where he is,
- 14:28Speaker 3: like he doesn't deserve to get paid or something like that.
- 14:31Speaker 6: I have no issue with that at all. I think
- 14:34Speaker 6: it speaks volumes to what Bone said. Look, at the
- 14:38Speaker 6: roster that Dan Morgan inherited from Laser Eyes, and look
- 14:41Speaker 6: at where he's brought it in three years. And the
- 14:43Speaker 6: majority of it has been what he's done in free
- 14:45Speaker 6: agency because he's knocked it out of the park. Adding
- 14:48Speaker 6: the guys on the offensive line this past year was
- 14:51Speaker 6: you know, getting guys, you know, the pass rusher, the linebackers.
- 14:55Speaker 6: The good news is, Mack. We think that Bryce is capable.
- 14:59Speaker 6: He's a send of growing into a top ten player,
- 15:03Speaker 6: a top five guy on the roster. The issue would
- 15:06Speaker 6: be if you ranked him eleventh and we were seeing
- 15:09Speaker 6: here saying this is the cap we cannot see him
- 15:11Speaker 6: growing into anything more than the eleventh best player, because
- 15:15Speaker 6: at some point, Mac, if we're gonna compete for championships,
- 15:19Speaker 6: if we're gonna compete to go to the super Bowl,
- 15:20Speaker 6: he's got to be with Derek Brown, He's got to
- 15:23Speaker 6: be with j. C.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Horn. He's not there yet.
- 15:26Speaker 6: Which is why they've built the roster up around him.
- 15:29Speaker 2: But we believe he's capable. Here's growing into that. Here's
- 15:32Speaker 2: a good point. By one.
- 15:33Speaker 3: He says brock Perty and Sam Darnold probably aren't top
- 15:36Speaker 3: ten on there, and and maybe they are. Maybe they're
- 15:40Speaker 3: at the bottom or whatever. But like, yeah, do you
- 15:43Speaker 3: Sam Donald just won a Super Bowl? How many players
- 15:45Speaker 3: on his team are better than him? So like, do
- 15:48Speaker 3: you need your player to be a top five player
- 15:50Speaker 3: on your quarterback or can you just build a roster
- 15:52Speaker 3: around him?
- 15:53Speaker 5: That's just that damn good, you know. I think it's
- 15:56Speaker 5: a credit to Dan Morgan and Brandt was gonna call
- 16:02Speaker 5: them Bret Sindiker almost got a golfer. I completely had
- 16:06Speaker 5: a mind mess up there, Mac, Devin, Lloyd Phillips, Marrig Lewis,
- 16:11Speaker 5: t Mac, Mike, Jack Hunt. The other guys we mentioned,
- 16:15Speaker 5: Gordon Coker, Brooks, those are all names on this list
- 16:20Speaker 5: or mentioned to be on this list. Potentially those are
- 16:22Speaker 5: all Dan Morgan in this Virginia. Now, you're not putting
- 16:25Speaker 5: like Gorton, Brooks and Cuba over Bryce, are you?
- 16:28Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, no no no.
- 16:30Speaker 5: But I'm saying though, like there could be a debate
- 16:32Speaker 5: a year from now if Brooksy has a year like
- 16:34Speaker 5: he could crack this thing.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Next year. We'll see what happens.
- 16:37Speaker 5: But Gordon, to me, s Gorton and Brooks are two
- 16:39Speaker 5: of the emerging guys that I could see hope.
- 16:42Speaker 2: So we hope. We hope, so.
- 16:45Speaker 5: Gordon, I know so I've talked to some people and
- 16:47Speaker 5: that guy is the people are also in hooker. Yes,
- 16:51Speaker 5: has to do something. Are you Daddy, Scredaddy?
- 16:59Speaker 2: I am not.
- 17:00Speaker 5: I kind of like that score Daddy and score Daddy
- 17:03Speaker 5: scored war the Bryan and Scordon.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Zane and Charlotte says, you say you guys trust the
- 17:08Speaker 3: Hornets GM I trust Dan to be the godfather of
- 17:10Speaker 3: my own child.
- 17:12Speaker 2: That's strong right there.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Zaying pantherow Is, upset says, how do you put Mike
- 17:16Speaker 3: Jackson over Bryce?
- 17:18Speaker 2: Come on?
- 17:19Speaker 3: I believe last year Mike Jackson was higher up on
- 17:23Speaker 3: the cornerback list than Bryce was on the You know
- 17:27Speaker 3: what I mean? Like if you ranked the best cornerbacks
- 17:28Speaker 3: from last season, hel Pff had him a number two
- 17:31Speaker 3: coverage grade in the entire league among cornerbacks. I believe
- 17:34Speaker 3: Bryce was around the twentieth best quarterback. I think Mike
- 17:36Speaker 3: jack was better than that last year. Now will Mike
- 17:39Speaker 3: jack continue? I just this, Texter says bry Those guys
- 17:44Speaker 3: are all good football players, and it's great to have
- 17:47Speaker 3: that many good ones. But Bryce Young flat out won
- 17:50Speaker 3: those guys games with his play down the stretch over
- 17:53Speaker 3: and over again. That's true. I'm just my metric was
- 17:57Speaker 3: kind of like, where do they rank among their peers?
- 17:59Speaker 3: And I still like, to Fitty's point, want to see
- 18:01Speaker 3: Bryce be consistent. Want to see Bryce be better in
- 18:05Speaker 3: the intermediate area than he was last year. Want to
- 18:07Speaker 3: see him put a full season together to where I
- 18:10Speaker 3: don't have to talk about his last ten games or
- 18:12Speaker 3: his last eight games only each of the last two seasons.
- 18:14Speaker 2: You know, hold it down.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Brings up the point that this team is built in
- 18:18Speaker 5: the Dan Morgan mold, because think about the Super Bowl
- 18:21Speaker 5: that he played in Mack. Where did Jake Doome rank
- 18:23Speaker 5: them on the top ten to fifty players on that jam? Yeah,
- 18:25Speaker 5: you go down that list, where would he be on there?
- 18:28Speaker 5: With that defense?
- 18:28Speaker 3: They're also built in a place that he that he
- 18:30Speaker 3: and Dave Canalis worked at in Seattle. Now, Russell Wilson
- 18:33Speaker 3: became Bone, and maybe, to Fitty's point, maybe Bryce will
- 18:37Speaker 3: climb up. I do think there's a world where Bryce
- 18:39Speaker 3: can still be a top ten quarterback in this league.
- 18:42Speaker 3: But Russell Wilson Bone the way they were designed, run
- 18:44Speaker 3: the football, play defense, and the quarterback makes some timely
- 18:48Speaker 3: plays arms and legs, and I think that's a similarity
- 18:51Speaker 3: to the way the Panthers are designed. Right now, I
- 18:53Speaker 3: didn't mean to do this exercise to upset our fellow
- 18:57Speaker 3: Bryce fans, Now what I was trying to do. You
- 18:59Speaker 3: don't mean I wasn't trying to pull a Taris ogles
- 19:02Speaker 3: B here and get everybody mad at me. More on
- 19:04Speaker 3: that later, Bone. I can't resist. I cannot resist playing
- 19:08Speaker 3: the clip from Tarras ogles B about LaMelo Ball on
- 19:12Speaker 3: The Josh Graham Show.
- 19:13Speaker 2: That'll happen later on during Today show.
- 19:15Speaker 5: All right, when we come back on the Mac and
- 19:17Speaker 5: Bone Show, it is what the bleep, Mac, My dream
- 19:20Speaker 5: has finally been realized. We have a Florida man story
- 19:24Speaker 5: combined with a waffle house story. It's all coming together.
- 19:28Speaker 5: We explained that one on Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNS. You're rolling through to
- 19:54Speaker 3: seven o'clock hour. NBA free agency gets going at six
- 19:57Speaker 3: o'clock tonight, at least him up. You can chat up
- 20:01Speaker 3: free agents tonight, you can agree to terms on deals.
- 20:04Speaker 3: You can't officially sign them until next Monday, but there
- 20:07Speaker 3: will be conversations about what Jeff Peterson may do what
- 20:12Speaker 3: we'd like him to do. Do you even want to
- 20:14Speaker 3: try to figure out what he wants to do? Or
- 20:17Speaker 3: are we just going to sit back, get our popcorn
- 20:19Speaker 3: ready and watch at this point in time. But there
- 20:21Speaker 3: will be plenty of hornets combo on this radio show
- 20:24Speaker 3: coming up soon. It involves popcorn. I think we're in
- 20:26Speaker 3: for that though. Yeah, that's a just regardless, we'll get
- 20:29Speaker 3: our popcorn.
- 20:30Speaker 5: My girlfriend Tara wants you to know that I should
- 20:32Speaker 5: be in what to believe, but we don't do that here.
- 20:33Speaker 5: We don't put ourselves in these situations. By the way,
- 20:36Speaker 5: I may have been on the wrong dishwasher cycle for
- 20:39Speaker 5: the last eight years, and I had no idea why
- 20:41Speaker 5: my dish has never got fully clean, and I had
- 20:43Speaker 5: to keep watching them over and over again. Apparently there's
- 20:45Speaker 5: multiple I was never on the wash cycle. I was
- 20:48Speaker 5: always on the like the dry one, whatever it's called. Like,
- 20:51Speaker 5: I've been on the wrong cycle for eight years now.
- 20:54Speaker 5: I had no idea.
- 20:54Speaker 3: That is such a good It doesn't tell you on there.
- 20:56Speaker 3: This is the bleebone. That is a helpless man story.
- 21:00Speaker 3: And I am the protagonist in many a helpless man story.
- 21:04Speaker 2: I have to be honest with you.
- 21:05Speaker 3: I have never set the settings on our thing. I
- 21:08Speaker 3: just know how to hit start, so my wife has
- 21:10Speaker 3: it set in to a certain setting. If I had
- 21:13Speaker 3: my own dishwasher, there's a very good possibility I would
- 21:15Speaker 3: do the same.
- 21:16Speaker 5: There's like a dry rinse one over here, then over
- 21:18Speaker 5: here apparently on the right side, it says heavy wash.
- 21:21Speaker 5: I never use out before. Now it gets what's happened though?
- 21:24Speaker 5: White dishes are sparkling now and I know it for
- 21:26Speaker 5: seven years. There's a what what's put on my plates
- 21:30Speaker 5: for seven years?
- 21:31Speaker 1: This?
- 21:31Speaker 2: Eh, gunk?
- 21:32Speaker 3: This is why we need women in our lives, all right,
- 21:35Speaker 3: This is why we need women, y'all.
- 21:38Speaker 2: I'm telling you this technology right now is wild. Bone man,
- 21:41Speaker 2: I've got to I've got it.
- 21:43Speaker 3: What the bleep? A manual Lacho? I don't know if
- 21:47Speaker 3: y'all have seen this quote. It has gone viral. I
- 21:50Speaker 3: remember when a manual Lacho was the guy that was
- 21:52Speaker 3: known Bone during tough times from a racial standpoint of
- 21:56Speaker 3: being the guy that would talk openly and honestly about
- 21:59Speaker 3: racial relationship.
- 22:00Speaker 2: And I respected him for that. Bone.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Now it feels like Emmanuel Lacho is trying to take
- 22:06Speaker 3: Skip Bayless's role. That's the number one hot take artist
- 22:10Speaker 3: in sports media. Listen to Emmanuel Lacho and what he
- 22:14Speaker 3: said bone about Caitlyn Clark and a WNBA.
- 22:18Speaker 8: The W at this junction in time would be better
- 22:20Speaker 8: without Caitlyn Clark because she is a bigger distraction than
- 22:24Speaker 8: she is an additive. Caitlin Clark has gotten the WNBA
- 22:28Speaker 8: over the necessary threshold they needed. Now people are watching
- 22:31Speaker 8: now we realize, Oh, there's talent in the W. Talent
- 22:33Speaker 8: that's Axley, even greater than Kaitlyn Clark. And I'm not
- 22:36Speaker 8: just talking about bigs like Asia. I'm talking about the
- 22:38Speaker 8: Olivia Miles. I'm talking about the Page beckers Hell. I'm
- 22:40Speaker 8: talking about the Kelsey Mitchells. Caitlin got the necessary eyes there,
- 22:45Speaker 8: but now that the eyes are there, we don't necessarily
- 22:48Speaker 8: need her anymore. Caitlyn did what only Caitlin could do,
- 22:53Speaker 8: and we don't necessarily need her to do anymore. Thank you, Caitlyn.
- 22:57Speaker 2: We can take it from here. Damn, what the bleep
- 23:01Speaker 2: are we doing? What the bleep?
- 23:03Speaker 3: The only reason they have private jets right now is
- 23:06Speaker 3: the new CBA deal. The money that they're making now,
- 23:09Speaker 3: it's because of the impact of Caitlyn Clark and others.
- 23:12Speaker 3: But Caitlyn Clark is the number one driving force of
- 23:15Speaker 3: eyeballs and by the way, she averages twenty one to eight.
- 23:18Speaker 3: I'm not saying she's the best player in the league,
- 23:19Speaker 3: but let's not bet she's Choppliver. The WNBA doesn't need
- 23:23Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark. Thank you for your service, Caitlin Clark. What
- 23:26Speaker 3: kind of take does he believe that?
- 23:28Speaker 2: Bone he?
- 23:29Speaker 5: What kind of take is that? How high up the
- 23:31Speaker 5: list is acho now on the hot take ranking?
- 23:33Speaker 2: Oh, he's right on up there.
- 23:34Speaker 5: Many former Yankee Clinn Fraser back tweeted out yesterday and
- 23:37Speaker 5: they'll never forget when Brian Cashman brought him in to
- 23:40Speaker 5: speak to the Yankees in twenty twenty and what occurred
- 23:42Speaker 5: that day, but he never gave details and Manuel watcho.
- 23:44Speaker 5: It was on a speaking tour and they brought him
- 23:46Speaker 5: in to talk to the Yankees. Oh, Cliff Fradri said,
- 23:49Speaker 5: we'll never forget what happened that day. I don't know,
- 23:51Speaker 5: that's weird stuff.
- 23:51Speaker 3: And like I said, I remember when he did that,
- 23:53Speaker 3: like what was it called uncomfortable conversation.
- 23:55Speaker 2: That's when he was doing his tour and he went
- 23:58Speaker 2: in there.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Yeah that I thought those things were well thought out. Honest,
- 24:02Speaker 3: I don't know what he's doing now again, it's a
- 24:04Speaker 3: skip Bayless light routine.
- 24:06Speaker 2: He really is.
- 24:06Speaker 3: And I'm not, by the way, speaking of skip Bayles's
- 24:08Speaker 3: apparently he's talking about LaMelo ball. He's upset. So we
- 24:11Speaker 3: got to get to the bottom of that. All right, bo,
- 24:13Speaker 3: what do you got? What the bleep?
- 24:14Speaker 2: What do you have?
- 24:15Speaker 5: We have a Bartow, Florida man suing waffle house. I
- 24:19Speaker 5: think he's I think he's eighty four years eighty four
- 24:23Speaker 5: year old Edward Bowles is suing waffle house because the
- 24:28Speaker 5: sign that he read for the Strawberry shortcake waffle distracted
- 24:33Speaker 5: him and caused him.
- 24:35Speaker 2: To run into the car in front of him.
- 24:38Speaker 3: Oh my, the stuff people will blame on things other
- 24:43Speaker 3: than themselves in this country is sad, yes, sir, But
- 24:46Speaker 3: the belief we're doing. Oh the sign caused the remp.
- 24:50Speaker 3: That is a tempting sign though, Man, I'd be tempted
- 24:52Speaker 3: by that. He drove over the curb and hit something
- 24:54Speaker 3: else there.
- 24:54Speaker 2: So now he's don't be.
- 24:56Speaker 3: Your driving, couldn't be your rod responsibility to drive that?
- 25:00Speaker 6: How Soonophore Carson, host of ar uses that as an
- 25:02Speaker 6: excuse in a NASCAR race.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Edward, It's not because you're eighty four behind the wheel,
- 25:06Speaker 5: big dog, it's because of that side by the way,
- 25:09Speaker 5: how the witch is that?
- 25:10Speaker 2: For the wafflesund That does sound good.
- 25:11Speaker 3: I may take a glance fitting you know what I mean,
- 25:14Speaker 3: but I don't think i'd host What's hots of Marcus.
- 25:18Speaker 3: I ran into him because I saw a bo jangle
- 25:20Speaker 3: billboard off in the distance at the track.
- 25:24Speaker 5: I know at some point Florida man in waffle house
- 25:27Speaker 5: would converge, and that's that's what we get for that.
- 25:29Speaker 3: I've got to what the bleep? Someone in Philadelphia? Bone,
- 25:33Speaker 3: I know you're shocked by I know one. No one's
- 25:35Speaker 3: shocked by this, but somebody in Philadelphia has exhibited disgusting behavior.
- 25:40Speaker 3: There was a fan Bone that was at a And
- 25:43Speaker 3: I don't know exactly how to say this dude's name
- 25:45Speaker 3: because I am not familiar with his game. I don't
- 25:46Speaker 3: even know what kind of music he does. Noah, Cahan?
- 25:49Speaker 3: Is that how you say his name?
- 25:51Speaker 2: There's a Kahan? How do you say this dude's name? Noah?
- 25:55Speaker 2: I know who it is. What kind of music is that?
- 25:57Speaker 8: Like?
- 25:57Speaker 3: I think it's Noah Khan looks like he has a
- 25:59Speaker 3: ukulele something. What kind of music does that mean? Anyway,
- 26:01Speaker 3: he looks like a musical Willie p Anyway, this dude
- 26:05Speaker 3: had a concert in Philly bar concert in Philly, and
- 26:10Speaker 3: there's a story that went viral.
- 26:12Speaker 2: A fan.
- 26:14Speaker 3: Had to go to the bathroom number two but wouldn't
- 26:17Speaker 3: leave his seat because he didn't want to miss any
- 26:19Speaker 3: of the songs that Noah was doing and just pooped
- 26:23Speaker 3: his drawers and, according to bystanders, literally just with his hands.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Sorry to do this to y'all.
- 26:29Speaker 3: If y'all, I'm sorry, with his hands just kept picking
- 26:32Speaker 3: pieces out and dropping them on the ground in the stands.
- 26:34Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 26:35Speaker 3: People were disgusted, they were angry at this guy, and
- 26:38Speaker 3: this thing went viral to the point where Noah had
- 26:41Speaker 3: to issue a statement to his fans in the future,
- 26:45Speaker 3: if you have to go to the bathroom, just go
- 26:47Speaker 3: to the bathroom and miss a song or two. It's
- 26:49Speaker 3: not the end of the world. What the belief are
- 26:51Speaker 3: we doing in Philly.
- 26:54Speaker 5: I mean, at least they're not eating manure this time around.
- 26:56Speaker 5: I guess that's true. By the way, I think behavior.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Be way off.
- 27:00Speaker 5: I think he he's part of the voice. I think
- 27:03Speaker 5: he is. He like a new version of Michael Buble.
- 27:06Speaker 5: I think maybe perhaps so. Think about the music, Matt.
- 27:09Speaker 5: These people don't want to miss here, Like you can
- 27:11Speaker 5: go ahead and go to the bathroom. Start it's okay,
- 27:13Speaker 5: my Heaven's almighty.
- 27:16Speaker 6: That's worse than me throwing up on myself at the
- 27:19Speaker 6: ketch six hundred and leaving the shirt at the track
- 27:22Speaker 6: right point.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Advantage, fitty, thank you, Philly. Vantage is better behaved in
- 27:26Speaker 3: a grandstand than.
- 27:27Speaker 2: That, dude, Mac. How about this story.
- 27:29Speaker 5: We have a groom suing DraftKings because he spent the
- 27:35Speaker 5: whole wedding fund on bets. He took out new credit cards,
- 27:40Speaker 5: he went into four oh one k and used his
- 27:43Speaker 5: entire wedding fund, spent two million dollars on gambling, and
- 27:46Speaker 5: now he is suing DraftKings because of the emails they
- 27:50Speaker 5: sent him to encourage DraftKings. What to believe are we doing?
- 27:54Speaker 5: See here's another one. Go get a waffle star, Go
- 27:57Speaker 5: get a strawberry short.
- 27:59Speaker 3: It's a loss where you're blaming somebody else for the
- 28:03Speaker 3: mistake you made, and then you're trying to profit off
- 28:07Speaker 3: it and get money, Like I just this whole we
- 28:10Speaker 3: as a society. I don't mean to make a silly
- 28:12Speaker 3: segment serious here. I'll stop soon, but like, don't we
- 28:16Speaker 3: aren't we? So we're horrible at accountability right now, aren't we?
- 28:21Speaker 2: Back? By the way, Buddy might win it.
- 28:23Speaker 3: We've seen people win these lawsuits where I'm like, take accountability,
- 28:27Speaker 3: and then they win them.
- 28:27Speaker 2: They win money. I don't want to.
- 28:29Speaker 5: I don't want to bury the lead here because it
- 28:31Speaker 5: is about the lawsuit after he lost two million dollars. Hey, sir,
- 28:36Speaker 5: you might want to win a bet or two there.
- 28:38Speaker 5: That is a lot. First of all, that's a lot
- 28:40Speaker 5: of money to gamble. Did you ever win a bet
- 28:42Speaker 5: two million dollars?
- 28:44Speaker 2: Sir? You might need to get better intel.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Even Brendan Sores be shaking his head at your betting
- 28:49Speaker 3: right now? Boney, is there any way I can tell
- 28:53Speaker 3: missus back? There goes all our fund on draft games.
- 28:56Speaker 3: I know I just ripped people, Boney for doing this,
- 28:58Speaker 3: But do you think I can get my money back
- 29:00Speaker 3: and add to my seven cents?
- 29:02Speaker 5: I will say this, I respect you because you've been
- 29:04Speaker 5: hold on to that seven cents for a while.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't need to do it I'm not any
- 29:07Speaker 3: good at it. I don't need to spend any money
- 29:09Speaker 3: on it whatsoever. Now if I can find a place
- 29:12Speaker 3: in the fall Boat that I haven't used yet that
- 29:14Speaker 3: gives me bonus bets, so that's what I do. I
- 29:16Speaker 3: go through my bonus bets when I run out of
- 29:18Speaker 3: my bonus bet money and winnings that I sam out
- 29:21Speaker 3: of here. Anyway, missus mack watching me like a hawk? Bone,
- 29:24Speaker 3: Oh my goshing me like a hawk? All right, I've
- 29:27Speaker 3: got what the bleep Diana Rassini, and I have to
- 29:29Speaker 3: be honest. I feel partly bad the fact that we
- 29:33Speaker 3: are still talk about watching like a hawk, the fact
- 29:35Speaker 3: that people are watching her and what she says, and
- 29:39Speaker 3: like fact checking what she says this closely bonus kind
- 29:42Speaker 3: of sad.
- 29:43Speaker 2: At some point, I think we just need to leave
- 29:45Speaker 2: the woman alone. But I will want to.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Bleep her anyway, because when the last week Bone that
- 29:53Speaker 3: article was written by the New York Times about her,
- 29:56Speaker 3: and they told the story that she told on Stugott's
- 29:58Speaker 3: radio show during Super Bowl, and they highlighted it where
- 30:02Speaker 3: she claimed. We actually played the audio last week where
- 30:05Speaker 3: she claimed to have gotten a tic on the pulled
- 30:07Speaker 3: over for texting while driving because she was trying to
- 30:09Speaker 3: break the Sean mcdermamy got fired story, and she said,
- 30:13Speaker 3: I got out of the ticket because I found out
- 30:15Speaker 3: what football team the officer worked for or rooted for,
- 30:19Speaker 3: and I got his coach on the line and talked
- 30:21Speaker 3: to him, and the coach told him Diana's good people,
- 30:23Speaker 3: don't give her a ticket. Well, Mike Florio has been asking,
- 30:26Speaker 3: had been trying to figure out Bone, He'd tell it
- 30:29Speaker 3: to the dead time. He's been trying to figure out
- 30:31Speaker 3: who the coach is, who the coach is that would
- 30:33Speaker 3: do this. So then on top of that, we had
- 30:36Speaker 3: somebody Bone that found the dashcam footage of this.
- 30:40Speaker 5: Florio is always tied into the Vikings as well. Here
- 30:42Speaker 5: this interaction.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Sorry, someone found the dashcam footage of this interaction and
- 30:47Speaker 3: Florio highlighted this yesterday and it shows Bone that she
- 30:51Speaker 3: completely lied.
- 30:52Speaker 2: She did not put.
- 30:54Speaker 3: FaceTime an NFL coach, She did not put an NFL
- 30:57Speaker 3: coach on on the line with the an NFL coach,
- 31:02Speaker 3: did not talk the cop out of giving her a ticket.
- 31:05Speaker 3: She made up that part of the story, but she
- 31:07Speaker 3: did he's a Vikings fan, and she did pull up
- 31:11Speaker 3: her phone and say, look at my text interaction with
- 31:13Speaker 3: your coach Kevin O'Connell. She also said your quarterback sucks too,
- 31:16Speaker 3: right now. She threw that in there. But the cops said, all,
- 31:19Speaker 3: that's so cool that you talked to coach O'Connell. And
- 31:22Speaker 3: the cop did let her off the ticket. But she
- 31:23Speaker 3: made up the part about the facetiming. But the pleep
- 31:26Speaker 3: are we doing? Diana, I'm starting to think bone, this
- 31:30Speaker 3: woman can't be trusted. I don't know, call me crazy,
- 31:33Speaker 3: I'm starting to think she can't be trusted by Also,
- 31:35Speaker 3: O'Connell's on the all handsome coach list. Now we got
- 31:37Speaker 3: to look in at his knocking at him. Yeah, let's
- 31:41Speaker 3: look at those messages, Diana, Mac.
- 31:43Speaker 5: We're gonna finish up my portrait of what to bleep
- 31:45Speaker 5: here with just two real quick Florida headlines. A Florida
- 31:49Speaker 5: man posing as a cop in person, Indy, a cop
- 31:53Speaker 5: was arrested for pulling people over. Mac guess we pulled over?
- 31:59Speaker 5: He put over the sheriff in Hillsboro County undercover. He
- 32:03Speaker 5: was undercover in a regular car. He pulled over the
- 32:06Speaker 5: sheriff as he was acting as the sheriff he's now
- 32:08Speaker 5: in jail.
- 32:11Speaker 3: Also, that's unfortunate, man, that's unfortunate. I feel like about
- 32:14Speaker 3: the bee, but that's unfortunate.
- 32:15Speaker 5: I feel kind of bad for this one because that's
- 32:17Speaker 5: an older man with a Florida man won two thousand,
- 32:20Speaker 5: seven hundred dollars in the lottery. He went to Walmart
- 32:23Speaker 5: in the guest services counter and said, how do I
- 32:26Speaker 5: cash this? I've won the lottery. The woman says, oh, sir,
- 32:28Speaker 5: let me see your ticket. There. We go to the
- 32:29Speaker 5: back here and check this thing out. She took off
- 32:32Speaker 5: with the ticket. She's not better arrested back. Can you
- 32:36Speaker 5: emagine waiting there and think, oh, where my watery ticket go?
- 32:39Speaker 5: And you see a car pe going out of the
- 32:41Speaker 5: parking lot. Yeah, she got caught them. That's cold blooded, man,
- 32:43Speaker 5: that is cold. I'm glad she got caught. Didn't you
- 32:45Speaker 5: say it was a.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Poor old man got taken advantage?
- 32:47Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm glad. She probably the same man
- 32:49Speaker 5: that crashed that waffle house.
- 32:50Speaker 3: I've also got a what to believe A die hard
- 32:53Speaker 3: longtime WFNZ listener, I have to do it.
- 32:56Speaker 5: Bow.
- 32:57Speaker 3: You had an interaction with this gentleman yesterday on social media.
- 33:01Speaker 3: A MIT Patel, Come on down, come on down. We
- 33:04Speaker 3: love this man? Well do we love this man?
- 33:06Speaker 2: Sometimes? Sometimes we love this man.
- 33:08Speaker 3: He is a diehard fan of the station, has supported
- 33:11Speaker 3: the station, but many people who have heard his text
- 33:14Speaker 3: rend on this station probably have gotten triggered by some
- 33:18Speaker 3: of his texts and me and now bone. He is
- 33:21Speaker 3: telling people on social media that he believes the only
- 33:24Speaker 3: reason the national media is praising the Hornets is because
- 33:27Speaker 3: they were paid off by the Charlotte Hornets to say
- 33:29Speaker 3: nice things. And I think he believes it started with
- 33:32Speaker 3: Bill Simmons. They paid Bill Simmons first, and that's why
- 33:35Speaker 3: he praises the Hornets and acts like he likes the Hornets.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Come on, man, is that not a cuckoo for Cocoa
- 33:41Speaker 3: Puff's conspiracy?
- 33:42Speaker 2: What the bleep we do in a min? I know?
- 33:43Speaker 5: And now I can't find the tweet of where we
- 33:45Speaker 5: put it, so I'm missed. We got rid of that
- 33:47Speaker 5: stam by and a minute where to go? Come on
- 33:49Speaker 5: tweet that I may come out wherever you are each week?
- 33:53Speaker 2: That one for him? Is it possible?
- 33:54Speaker 5: That day they played a brand of basketball that was
- 33:57Speaker 5: different and fresh for what we normally see, and they
- 34:00Speaker 5: were enamored with this, this new Hornets product. By the way,
- 34:05Speaker 5: Bill Simmons got enough money. I don't think he was
- 34:07Speaker 5: paid off here. I think he's got a lot of
- 34:08Speaker 5: money himself there.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Is it also possible because I'm sure what he's triggered
- 34:13Speaker 3: by now is that all the media is praising what
- 34:15Speaker 3: Jeff Peterson's doing and he doesn't like it. And I
- 34:18Speaker 3: love the LaMelo thing either, But I can completely understand bone.
- 34:22Speaker 3: With Jeff Peterson's track record on deals an asset acquisition,
- 34:26Speaker 3: I can completely understand why the national media with no
- 34:29Speaker 3: emotion like we have emotion, they don't have any emotion.
- 34:33Speaker 3: I can completely see why they would look at what
- 34:35Speaker 3: Jeff Peterson's doing and saying that's gonna pay off big
- 34:38Speaker 3: time down the road.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Yep.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Like I could completely understand it, and it doesn't have
- 34:41Speaker 3: to be they have paid him to do such.
- 34:44Speaker 5: You know, Mac Real Quick, before we go to break here,
- 34:46Speaker 5: I want to tell you the Mexico fans MAC had
- 34:50Speaker 5: a whole rally outside Ecuador's team hotel last night all night,
- 34:55Speaker 5: trying to keep the Ecuador players up there. They did, man,
- 34:58Speaker 5: that right there is football game.
- 35:00Speaker 3: I'm not even what the bleeping this stuff's done in
- 35:02Speaker 3: American sports too.
- 35:03Speaker 2: I'm not even what the bleeping now I will want
- 35:05Speaker 2: the bleep.
- 35:05Speaker 3: You're Uruguay, who was so mad at their team Bone
- 35:09Speaker 3: for not making it out of the group stage. They
- 35:11Speaker 3: did under achieved big time that they canceled the charter
- 35:14Speaker 3: flight and told everybody, you're taking commercial home.
- 35:16Speaker 2: You go in and find your way home. What a
- 35:20Speaker 2: sleep are we doing? Oh?
- 35:23Speaker 3: Do you see what South Korea and president did? He
- 35:25Speaker 3: was so mad that they didn't make it out of
- 35:27Speaker 3: the group stage. He has commissioned an investigation into how
- 35:29Speaker 3: did this happen?
- 35:30Speaker 2: Because they won? They had three points?
- 35:33Speaker 6: Right?
- 35:33Speaker 2: Was that something like that?
- 35:34Speaker 3: Right? He's trying to figure something out. How did we
- 35:36Speaker 3: not make it out of the group stage? Full blown investigation. Actually,
- 35:41Speaker 3: you know, you weren't that good.
- 35:43Speaker 2: You weren't good enough. You under a chief too.
- 35:46Speaker 5: No, Oh my, gracious, we come back. A Terrence Oglesby
- 35:49Speaker 5: comment about LaMelo ball causes a stir, and do we
- 35:55Speaker 5: bring back man of Scoot, Man of Scoot, Man of
- 35:59Speaker 5: Scoot running Scot? We are man of Scoop. I forgot
- 36:02Speaker 5: how the rest of it goes? Sports Radio ninety two seven,
- 36:06Speaker 5: Bad of Scoot WFNZ.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Fine, Lamello's six years in Charlotte.
- 36:32Speaker 7: That's a great question. It's like that I need to
- 36:38Speaker 7: make sure the trade goes through. But you know what
- 36:41Speaker 7: it is, it's that smoking hot girl with not.
- 36:43Speaker 4: A lot of personality, you know what I mean. Like
- 36:51Speaker 4: the passes are great, the stats are great. Where's the
- 36:53Speaker 4: substance that's not there? And I just came up with
- 36:58Speaker 4: that off the top of the dome right there.
- 37:00Speaker 6: But like try to just conversation, Hey, what's your fallham
- 37:03Speaker 6: world events?
- 37:03Speaker 2: And she's like, huh.
- 37:05Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly exactly, give me a little depth here, give
- 37:08Speaker 4: me a little depth. And there was there's not a
- 37:10Speaker 4: ton of depth in terms of Lamello Ball and and
- 37:14Speaker 4: really consequential winning.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Oh Mas t O.
- 37:20Speaker 3: T O terasogal Speed, who we love man, who we
- 37:25Speaker 3: love having on the show. And he just told Fiddy
- 37:28Speaker 3: last week he's wrong on social media. So I enjoyed that.
- 37:30Speaker 3: And he came on with us last week and reacted
- 37:33Speaker 3: live on the airbone to the Lamello ball tray right
- 37:37Speaker 3: there on the air. He didn't quite react like that.
- 37:40Speaker 3: That must have been something he needed a couple of
- 37:42Speaker 3: days Bone to come up with, because that was him
- 37:44Speaker 3: on Friday on The Josh Graham Show, and this one
- 37:47Speaker 3: got people all kind of worked.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Up on Hornet's Twitter. Do we have to do that?
- 37:54Speaker 3: I know Teo prides himself bone on like being honest.
- 37:59Speaker 3: He joked with us about things he said about Mark
- 38:01Speaker 3: Williams and then it ended up Mark Williams was back
- 38:04Speaker 3: on the Hornets or whatever. But like, do we need
- 38:07Speaker 3: I mean, the dude is in the ninety ninth percentile
- 38:11Speaker 3: of on off, splits offensively when he's on the floor, Like,
- 38:15Speaker 3: do we not?
- 38:16Speaker 2: Can we not? I'm not saying he's.
- 38:17Speaker 3: A perfect player or person but like, does he deserve
- 38:20Speaker 3: to be called the freaking hot girl with no personality?
- 38:25Speaker 5: He got compared to Kenzie from Love Island. Basically, I
- 38:27Speaker 5: don't get that. I'm gonna have to trust you on
- 38:30Speaker 5: that reference. He's never been a fan you could tell
- 38:34Speaker 5: of Wamelo ball. Maybe there's aspects of the games he's
- 38:38Speaker 5: been on here before going after him. So I'm not
- 38:40Speaker 5: saying it's every aspect of his game, but there's something
- 38:43Speaker 5: there that Ogilsby didn't doesn't.
- 38:46Speaker 2: That's a while about Mellow's game. And listen, I get you, fine,
- 38:48Speaker 2: everyone's got their opinions. We've heard it all before. But
- 38:51Speaker 2: the thing where it's like I never thought of Mellow
- 38:53Speaker 2: as the hot girl. The thing about that's a twist,
- 38:56Speaker 2: that's a new.
- 38:56Speaker 5: Ways always been the hot woman of the of the family.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Okay, I just to say, like again, he sounds like
- 39:04Speaker 3: the national media used to sound like on LaMelo, like
- 39:08Speaker 3: no substance, no winning, it's all LaMelo's thought when win.
- 39:13Speaker 3: Some of those teams he played with, obviously, the injuries
- 39:16Speaker 3: are part of the reason why we didn't win. A
- 39:17Speaker 3: lot of his teammates got injured too, and that's part
- 39:20Speaker 3: of the reason. It's also the supporting cast that was
- 39:22Speaker 3: around LaMelo. Like again, I'm not saying he's a perfect player,
- 39:25Speaker 3: but I think he made big strides last year and
- 39:28Speaker 3: I'm just like that just feels like too much, man,
- 39:30Speaker 3: it feels like too much hater Ay, I like t o, but.
- 39:32Speaker 5: It feels like he got heard a couple of years
- 39:35Speaker 5: ago in that Orlando game around Thanksgiving time. What was
- 39:38Speaker 5: the record after that in that year? Didn't they going
- 39:40Speaker 5: thirty eight?
- 39:41Speaker 2: Yeah? There you go. Yeah, And there was a lot
- 39:45Speaker 2: of stuff going on, but that was a big part
- 39:47Speaker 2: of it.
- 39:47Speaker 3: Watch this team this year, and this is going to
- 39:49Speaker 3: bring us bone to my to my next thing here
- 39:53Speaker 3: about the hornets, but like, who's going to attack off
- 39:57Speaker 3: the bounce bone and create and get guys open shots down?
- 40:00Speaker 3: LaMelo's gone, Like Kobe will do some of it, but
- 40:02Speaker 3: he's not the natural playmaker. LaMelo is a special playmaker.
- 40:06Speaker 3: And his ability bone to drive, draw, find others and
- 40:11Speaker 3: just get guys open space like is it's It's a gift, man,
- 40:16Speaker 3: it's a skill. And like we're gonna need to replace that.
- 40:20Speaker 3: So anyway, that brings me to my next thing here, Bote.
- 40:22Speaker 5: I'm getting praise right now, various people for Mike Kenzie
- 40:27Speaker 5: love Island reference that bone is that bone, bone knows
- 40:31Speaker 5: the pop culture bones very hip man, very hip uh
- 40:35Speaker 5: And I don't know, I don't know how that too
- 40:38Speaker 5: clip hits you, but it just felt like laying it
- 40:41Speaker 5: on too thick and and disrespectful in a way.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Seven four, five, seven nine sixteen.
- 40:46Speaker 3: All right, So I want to get to my next
- 40:49Speaker 3: issue here bone, which is for real, zies, can we
- 40:54Speaker 3: get the menu scoop back together? Is anybody on board
- 40:57Speaker 3: with this? John Morant is traded yesterday to Portland from
- 41:01Speaker 3: Memphis and now they have a ton of guards. I'd
- 41:04Speaker 3: know the reports are out there that Drew Holliday is
- 41:08Speaker 3: on the mark, and Drew Holliday played in not one
- 41:09Speaker 3: but two places where Charles Lee coach. So, as you
- 41:12Speaker 3: brought up earlier, there's a natural fit there. You'd probably
- 41:14Speaker 3: have to use your trade exception because he's thirty four
- 41:16Speaker 3: million dollars. But Scoot Henderson for a team Bone that
- 41:21Speaker 3: is thinking about the future, shouldn't we be sniffing around
- 41:24Speaker 3: Scoot Henderson and trying to team up Scoot and Brandon
- 41:28Speaker 3: the number two and three pick from that same draft.
- 41:31Speaker 3: He's physically gifted. The shooting stuff was horrendous at the
- 41:36Speaker 3: start of his career. He started to shoot way better
- 41:39Speaker 3: Bone as the season went on. Last year, he started
- 41:42Speaker 3: to be more efficient and less turnovers as the season
- 41:45Speaker 3: went on. You know there's natural gifts there because you
- 41:48Speaker 3: were a fellow man of Scoot. Do you think we
- 41:51Speaker 3: can entice Hornets fans to push for Men of Scoot
- 41:56Speaker 3: Part two and try to trade for him right now
- 41:59Speaker 3: because of all the guards that Portland has, or do
- 42:02Speaker 3: you think most Hornets fans are like, dude, just quit
- 42:04Speaker 3: them already.
- 42:05Speaker 5: Men of Scoot reboot. He first of all, he showed
- 42:09Speaker 5: after he was injured for a large duration of last year.
- 42:14Speaker 5: He made great strides. Like Portland became pretty good last year,
- 42:17Speaker 5: and he was a part of that rise there, especially
- 42:21Speaker 5: the back half of the season. I'm with you, but
- 42:23Speaker 5: I do have a question about the fit here. They
- 42:26Speaker 5: did just react Christian Anderson. They just traded for Grayson Allen.
- 42:30Speaker 5: They've got sea On James, different players, but they're all
- 42:34Speaker 5: backcourt guys. Where would he fit in or would you
- 42:37Speaker 5: move Grayson Allen? I mean he beat a backup point guard, right, yeah?
- 42:41Speaker 5: But what about Christian Anderson? He drafted.
- 42:43Speaker 3: I mean, the more I think about it, I try
- 42:46Speaker 3: to figure out. I'm trying to figure out roster wise,
- 42:48Speaker 3: were the backup point guard acquisition for me? And then
- 42:52Speaker 3: you just see what you have?
- 42:53Speaker 2: Right.
- 42:54Speaker 3: We're about the future here, right, I mean, I'm not
- 42:56Speaker 3: saying they're not trying to be They're trying to straddle
- 42:59Speaker 3: the right of competing some now. But the most important
- 43:03Speaker 3: thing is assets for the future. I think Scoot Henderson
- 43:07Speaker 3: could be an asset, right, whether it's for us or
- 43:10Speaker 3: someone else. I think there's talent there. I think he
- 43:12Speaker 3: is on it. I think there's a bit of an
- 43:14Speaker 3: upswing occurring with his game. We've seen it happen with
- 43:17Speaker 3: plenty of people in the NBA, where they come into
- 43:19Speaker 3: the league bones so young, right, and it takes them
- 43:23Speaker 3: a while to develop. And you said yesterday you think
- 43:26Speaker 3: this team needs a backup point guard. I think you're right.
- 43:30Speaker 3: I think they need a third point guard. I don't
- 43:32Speaker 3: necessarily consider, certainly don't consider Cian as a point guard.
- 43:35Speaker 2: No offense.
- 43:36Speaker 3: Then that didn't go well when he was asked to
- 43:37Speaker 3: do that, Grace, and I'd much rather play off ball.
- 43:41Speaker 3: So to me, it's I'm not saying he's the only
- 43:43Speaker 3: point guard we could talk about when we do our
- 43:45Speaker 3: whole free agency preview here in a minute, I just
- 43:48Speaker 3: feel like, take a shot at potential here, you know,
- 43:52Speaker 3: a stocky, buy a stock here in scoopy studidi him.
- 44:00Speaker 2: You're ready, Mack? Are we doing it? Yep? Are we
- 44:03Speaker 2: doing it? Three? Two?
- 44:05Speaker 5: One man Scoot man scoot. We are men of Scoot
- 44:09Speaker 5: and we're back. Scoot scoot, scoot, scoot, scoot scoot scoot.
- 44:13Speaker 5: So I actually forgotten, Mack, how do we finish up
- 44:15Speaker 5: the scoot song?
- 44:16Speaker 2: So?
- 44:16Speaker 3: What are we We've been We've been told to never say, yeah,
- 44:19Speaker 3: that was just it. Man, that's coot. But that's coot.
- 44:20Speaker 3: We are man, that's cooot.
- 44:21Speaker 2: Isn't that it?
- 44:21Speaker 5: I thought there was another thing I used to say.
- 44:23Speaker 5: I thought that was it. So how's the text? You
- 44:26Speaker 5: know what, I gotta tell you? Felt kind of good.
- 44:30Speaker 2: We're running Who's with us? Baby?
- 44:33Speaker 3: Who is with us? Mena scoot running back? Take a shot?
- 44:36Speaker 3: See what you got again? You got to see what
- 44:38Speaker 3: you have to give up to get him. Jeff Peterson
- 44:40Speaker 3: does not want to part with too many of his
- 44:41Speaker 3: precious assets. But if they have to, Now, what about holiday?
- 44:45Speaker 3: Some people are saying, I guess we can bring up
- 44:47Speaker 3: holiday in the next segment bone because the ties to Lee.
- 44:50Speaker 3: But yeah, two places, not just one, but a lot
- 44:53Speaker 3: of money though for him, But two places. You could
- 44:56Speaker 3: use the trade exception on holiday, right, Yeah, they would
- 44:59Speaker 3: cover his whole set for this year and then next
- 45:01Speaker 3: year you have to figure out a way to cover
- 45:03Speaker 3: the thirty four mins.
- 45:04Speaker 5: Once said MACI isless. He will not stop with dull
- 45:06Speaker 5: Stupen Miles Thirder on this team. This is gonna go
- 45:10Speaker 5: away to try to run the Miles thing back to
- 45:13Speaker 5: I'm gonna do top five lists this week of Top
- 45:15Speaker 5: five things. Charlotte's worth Man will never give up on.
- 45:17Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, anyway, I'd rather have Holiday James for Maiden,
- 45:23Speaker 3: says Square clowns guilty, start guilty.
- 45:26Speaker 5: This is a different This is a stupid ass id
- 45:29Speaker 5: This is a recalibrated men excuse. This is not the Oh,
- 45:33Speaker 5: he's gonna come in here and transform the franchise. This is, oh,
- 45:36Speaker 5: he's gonna play a role for it. This is not
- 45:38Speaker 5: the same level with that point guard.
- 45:39Speaker 3: And see how his game develops, right, see if you
- 45:42Speaker 3: have some and then, like I said, it's either an
- 45:43Speaker 3: asset for you, but maybe it's a trade asset. Right
- 45:47Speaker 3: if he ends up continuing to improve his game like
- 45:49Speaker 3: he was doing. I mean he had thirty one in
- 45:51Speaker 3: a playoff game against the Spurs. He had five threes
- 45:54Speaker 3: in two different playoff games this year, like if. That
- 45:57Speaker 3: has always been the big weakness for him, is if
- 46:00Speaker 3: if you can lay off his shot bone and when
- 46:02Speaker 3: he runs pick and roll, if you can just slough
- 46:03Speaker 3: off right and he can't make you pay. He's got
- 46:06Speaker 3: trouble that And obviously the you know, taking some bad
- 46:10Speaker 3: shots turned the ball over but I'm telling you those
