  Speaker 4: about it today on the Mac and Bone show. What

• 1:24
  Speaker 2: shocked by this, but there.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Are more developments in regards to fifth-year players, players that
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: are in NFL camps coming back to college football. There
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: is more developments at a rapid rate.
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: So.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: We will catch you up on those as well. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: we will give some kudos to the Atlanta Braves. They
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: take game one, dramatic game one of their series against
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers last night in Atlanta. That place was jumping
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: last night. So we will talk about that. All that
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: stuff and more here today on the Mac and Bone Show.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Fitty had himself an evening last night as well. You
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: know that will be discussed. So we've got that going
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: on as well. And we've got the Bone Man here
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: ready to go. Pony Boney himself ready to go. What's up, Bone?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: We'll also pay tribute to an iconic individual today as well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: both in entertainment and in life.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Mac, I would say one of the most.
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: universally beloved celebrities ever, even if you weren't a fan
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: of her genre of music. Dolly Parton sure impacted a
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: lot of people, so can't wait to pay tribute to
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: her throughout the show. I'm also ready, Mac, to talk Panthers, Texans,
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: and dare I say, we need to smoke this joint today.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Back to you with more. I like it. Bone could
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: not wait.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Bone lasted two minutes in, and he had to get
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: his smoke a joint, and you could use that about
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: five times today, I feel like.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You know what's sad about that whole thing?
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: I got in my car this morning and said, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: need to work that into the show, but I need
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: to be cool about it and not just do it
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: right away.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And what time did I work it in? First series.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: First series of the game. You go deep. No, I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: did it before the show to see if you would laugh.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And you did. So I realized I got some work
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: in here. I like it. I like it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: This show is not just all off the cuff, man.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: There's some there's some there's some, you know, my last
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: name is Hancock. So I like to call my free
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: work stuff preparation. H.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: OK, OK.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I you are so right about Dolly Parton. It's a
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: it's a number one thing I was thinking in twenty
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: twenty six. It is virtually impossible to be loved by
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: everybody as a celebrity. Like everybody's looking for reasons to
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: get angry.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Everybody.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, not everybody, but so many people are looking
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: for reasons to hate people, not like people. But you
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: can't find a darn person in any walk of life.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: that has anything bad to say about Dolly Parton. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: it's so cliche, especially when someone passes, where you say
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: they're a better person than they were at what they
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: did in their career field. I do think this is
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: absolutely the case with her. And she was a freaking
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: immense talent, obviously. But just the kindness, the looking out
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: for people that did not have it great, Not forgetting
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: her roots, because she grew up not having much. You know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: just what she's done for, you know, children's literacy. I mean,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: it's just a damn shame. That's the type of person
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you wish could live for freaking ever, man.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: How about the fact that she was married to Carl
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: since 1966 and they had a great marriage? all the
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: way until his death last year. Mac, a celebrity in
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: the spotlight, being married to someone out of the spotlight
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: for that long, that's a special thing. And I read
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: this morning about her husband, that he, Mac, was in
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: it for who she was to him, not the celebrity
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: that she was. He saw her perform live one time
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: in all those years. It was all about her as
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: his wife and not the performance. He didn't want to
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: be in the spotlight.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: It is kind of odd, though, not going to watch
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: her do that amazing thing she does more than one time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: But he loved Dollywood, though. He'd walk around there without
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: anyone noticing him. She also had a great sense of humor.
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: She said this a couple years ago. She once entered
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: a Dolly... Drag queen look-alike contest?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And lost? And lost. Oh, man.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Anyway, did any of those folks in the contest try
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: to get in the WNBA with Ennis Cantor or no?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: No, no, that didn't happen yet. Anyway, no, she just rocked, man.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: There is no doubt about it. And she lived a long,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: awesome life. And what a talent, what a person. And, yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: she will be celebrated today. There's no doubt about it. Fitty,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: we got to work in a little Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I think that's her best. I think that's the best song.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Not that I know the whole catalog. What do you think, Fit?
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: No, that's not her best song.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Working 9 to 5?
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Working 9 to 5. I Will Always Love You is
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: her best song.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I hate to say this.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: You don't know that song?
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: No.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: No.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: She did a Whitney song?
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Whitney.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: How do you not know I will always know? Whitney,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: did Whitney make it, do it better, though? I hate
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: to say that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Whitney Houston may have done it better, but like, it's 1A, 1B.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Maybe you prefer one over the other.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Both artists, who now tragically are no longer with us,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: both have performed that song and done so very well.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: It's a great song. Don't forget about her and Kenny Rogers,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Lil Island and the Stream Fit. Don't forget that one now, baby.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: You know what's reminding me about her and Kenny Rogers?
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: The text line is asking, did Fitty work five to
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: nine last night on his date? Now that's flounder goes
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: on the four-hour dates. Flounder has the record that'll never
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: be broken for longest date ever at Chili's.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: You know that man was like, he was like, this
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: might be the last date I get in my life.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep her here. I mean, seriously, if
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I need to handcuff her to the table. I'm going
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: So I just keep talking to my date.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we love you, Flown. We will always love you, Flown.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: We will always love you. What a turn that was. Oh, man.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: So anyway, let's talk about the fact we got the
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: joint practice in town tonight or today. Bone Man, 10
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: o'clock start to practice against the Texans. We've talked about this.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: This.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: It definitely feels like, Bone, there won't be any starters
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: playing on Friday night. You know, I know that Dave
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Knauss left the door open, but he says if we
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: don't get the work in, I don't see why they
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: wouldn't get the work in they want. You know, it
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: feels like this is it for the starters against another
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: opponent here in the preseason. What a test it is
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: for Bryce Young and the offense, man. Like that's the
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: first thing I think of is, man, this offense is
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: going to go against what I think is the standard
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: for defenses in the NFL.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's amazing, Mac, what we thought of the Texans
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: a couple of years ago about.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: It was all about C.J.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: Stroud, but yet the longer they go on with D'Amico
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: Ryans and the more they've added, Stroud is a part
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: of things, and he's still a question mark in some ways,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: but there's no questions about Daniil Hunter or Willie Anderson
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: and all the defensive guys that they have.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: They were first in the league in total defense last year,
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: sixth in pass defense, fourth in rush defense, and they
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: gave up 16.7 points per game last year.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Monroe Freeling going to go against Will Anderson. They flip
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: him a little bit, but I want to say Will
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Anderson played 73% of his snaps on that side against
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the left tackle. So Monroe Freeling, I know Jalen Phillips
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: has not exactly been a walk in the park, but
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: you're about ready to get tested today.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Same for Rasheed Walker.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: And the thing I like about this matchup is the
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Panthers want to be a physical team, right? And we've
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: seen it in camp against each other. the Houston Texans
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: are going to come in here wanting to punch you
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: in the mouth. And I really would like the Panthers
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: bone to start when it starts today. I would like
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: them not to take an hour to wake up like
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: last week against Jacksonville. So I don't want to overdo
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the importance of a practice, but I have to be
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: honest with you, Bone. I think both coaches and I
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: think most coaches in the NFL, if not all, believe
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: these joint practices are more important than the preseason games.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: You talk about ending your camp with physicality in an
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: ultimate test.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: For your offense. You couldn't sign up for one better
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: than this one. Definitely. No doubt about it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: On the other side, Houston's offensive line has changed a lot.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: I think it's improved, but I still don't think it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: some sort of great O-line. I'd love to see our
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: boys in the trenches get after it. I'd love to
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: see some of the guys, Bone, that have been banged up.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Derek Brown, I'd love to see him have himself a
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: day today. Devin Lloyd, I hope he plays. We'll see.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: He's got some knee soreness. And then Hunt and Lewis.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Let's get that first team aligned together.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: For a bunch of snaps today as well. So, anyway,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: we've got that going.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: On here, Charlotte.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: Houston also added Clowney within the last week. We don't
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: expect to see him probably out there, though, right?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: He's been playing in the preseason.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I saw him playing last week. All right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah. So, yeah, add him into the mix. Obviously,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I did, too. I just want to make sure you
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: saw him.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: Add him into the mix, man. Maybe I was watching
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: soccer when you were.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I wasn't paying attention. Heck, even Darren Waller was, should play.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: We'll play a little bit today.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Now, I don't know if Kayshawn, uh, bootay slash booty.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know how we're, how we're saying his name
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: this week. Um, but, um, they traded for him two
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: days ago. I wouldn't think he would be out there practicing,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: but they felt they had to do something. They lost
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Jaden Higgins.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: The season.
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: It was the second acquisition of booty this week after
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: Jed York's trip to Ohio.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Oh my God. Bones on fire today. Well, It's on
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: joint practice day. Bone brings the heat, man.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Bone brings it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: This is a day where you got to bring it today.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: This is a day when you... You get nominated for awards.
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying you win them because we don't win awards,
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: but you get nominated. I will just say this.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: There seems to be some people out there in state,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: in the media, that might think we at WFNZ treat
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: joint practices like they're a Super Bowl, and I find
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: that to be absurd. But I will treat it like
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: it is the NFC title game today. I want you
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: to know that. Not the Super Bowl bone. Joe Ovia
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: said something similar to that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: The other day.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: NFC title game. Oh, he did? Oh, interesting. Is he
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: in state media? Oh, interesting.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Anyway, you pointed this out to me, Bone, and I
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: don't know Easton Butler from an Easton bat.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: All right? I do not.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Or your Easton stick. That too. But was he named
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: after a bat?
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Easton stick.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Anyway, um, Easton Butler is rights for the Packers report.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: And he dropped this on Twitter, um, six hours ago,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: the Panthers have been shopping tight end Jatavian Sanders. with
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: the Packers being one team to call on him. So
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: I had not seen anything else about the Panthers shopping Sanders.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: It would make sense, though, try to get something for him.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: If you're going to keep Waller on the roster to
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: replace him and his role, try to get something for him.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because I'm looking at their depth chart right now. Obviously,
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Tucker Kraft is their star. Yeah, he's coming back from injury,
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: but he's back. And right now, I have to look
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: it up here. Is Luke Musgrave also injured right now?
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: I have to look that up here. I'm not paying
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: attention to the Green Bay Packers, but I'll have to
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: look up what's up with Luke Musgrave also, because that
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: would explain why they're needing body. Yep, right here, a
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: couple weeks ago. Luke Musgrave, I guess he's been hurt
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: during camp. So that's probably part of this as well.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yep, there he is.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: He's been injured too. So both guys, a one-off injury,
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: one's been hurt during the preseason. So that's why they
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: have interest in a guy like Sanders.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that would make sense. So we'll see.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: We'll see if any of the local Panther scribes, Bone,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: will get some intel about this and whether or not.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, could you get a sixth round pick for him?
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: That's what I was thinking, yeah. You know, something like,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I'm sure not the great, but. Six or seven. Six
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: or seven. See what you did there. See what you
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: did there. You ain't late on that.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: At all, Boney. You know what I mean? Someone says,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I need a Phitty date update. It's been a while.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's been a while.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: It's been a while.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: There you go, Phitty.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Phitty, did you serenade her last night with, hey, let
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: me tell you something personal.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: It's been a while. Phitty, when your streak ends, are
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you going to sing that out loud? Yeah, maybe.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. Anyway. You see Mac Fitty in a robe
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: with a cigar?
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: It's been a while.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: It sounds like it was a positive night last night
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: for the fit dog. Sounds like it was, man. Sounds
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: like it's a nice, you know what I mean? A
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: nice season opener.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Feels like.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: Also a nice night for the Atlanta Braves last night, Mac,
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: and a huge win. That's two in a row over
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: Milwaukee that they needed.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: They played the Dodgers last night.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: I'm saying that's two in a row. They got the
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: win over Milwaukee, and then they got the win over
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: the Dodgers.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: After that, Finney. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying they
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: beat Milwaukee Sunday night. There you go. And they got
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: a win.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: So this is a big two-game stretch that they needed
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: right there. Phillies also lost last night, which is important.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: And the Mets beat the Brewers last night. So it
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: was kind of two in a row.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: Sorry, Bone.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Bone's frustrated.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Doesn't it suck when you're trying to set something up, Bone,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: and people just start jumping in?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I couldn't imagine what it's like.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I just can't believe that my date got interrupted by
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Braves talk. Who gives a crap about the Braves? I
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: had a date that was successful. No, baseball later.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: It's football season.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: What do you mean?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: It's football season, so you want to talk about your
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: dating life. That's right. Fitty's like a football team that
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: wins one game a season. Wants to talk all about it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Guy has one good date every four years. All of
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: a sudden, I can't even mention the Braves. I have
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: a little of two games that are important to them
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: right now. Hey, congratulations, Fitty. Pace yourself, my friend. Pace yourself.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: But anyway, yeah, the Braves, it was an interesting game
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: in that Both starters kind of had similar days in
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: that they gave up three runs early.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Braves jumped on them in the first.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Dodgers come back then with three to tie it at 3-3.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: And then both starters kind of settle in. Ozzie Albies
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: had what ended up being the game-winning hit in the
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: eighth inning. Driving Olsen in, that made it 4-3, but
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: it got dicey in the top of the ninth because
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Iglesias was on. Dodgers had a man on third with
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: nobody out, and Iglesias gets all three outs to finish
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: it off. That place was packed and cranked. It was loud.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: That was like a playoff atmosphere last night, that game.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Huge win.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: One thing the pitching staff did well was definitely, although
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: it wasn't, the bullpen had three walks, but Bryce Elder,
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: six innings, no walks. That's highly important against the Dodgers
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: because you know with a lineup that can mash like
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: they can, you can't get free passes to that team
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: where all of a sudden it'll be a two three
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: run homer grand slams if they're gonna get you make
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: sure there's not guys on the bases and bryce elder
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: did a great job with that last night.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: He scattered eight hits bone you got to say that
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: if you give up more hits than innings pitch but
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: you still have a solid outing like it was a
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: quality start um six innings eight uh eight hits three
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: right you got to call it scattered All right. Not
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: to be confused with a Waffle House scattered, smothered, covered,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: and chunked, though.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: I love it smothered and covered. I never feel comfortable
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: asking for something chunked, though. That just gets in your head.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: You can't eat it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: We do want to mention, too, and we'll talk about
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: it a bunch coming up here in a few minutes,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: but we do need to mention the headline in college
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: football is that the Big Ten went first in and
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: put the rule in place to make it illegal for
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: folks who have signed pro contracts, who have gone through
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: the draft process, whether they got drafted or not, and
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: kept their names in there, that they are ineligible to
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: come back and play in their conference.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Big Ten did it first.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: SEC last night, they already had a scheduled meeting anyway, Bone,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: of the presidents and the chancellors, but they got to
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: work on this. They followed suit and did the same thing.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Ross Dellinger of Yahoo is reporting that all the Big
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: 10 or Big 12 ADs want to do this as
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: well and that a rule change is expected from them
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: in the next 24 to 36 hours. The ACC, I guess,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: is mulling it over. ACC going to come in last
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: of the four on this?
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: Well, Joey McGuire of Texas Tech also mulled it over
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: back when he said, I'd love to.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Have some NFL players on my roster. But his AD
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: was against it, though. His A.D.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: Is a McGuire's. And don't forget, I'm the other villain,
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: by the way. I don't wait in the news here.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: I love some NFL players.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: His A.D., though, thought otherwise, because, again, if Dellinger's report
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: is right, all the A.D. 's were against it, were
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: against this pro stuff in the Big 12. And it
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: was unanimous in the SEC. The vote was unanimous. LSU
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: was holding out bone on it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think we can all figure out why.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: It seems like you watch a whole entire athletic program.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: You watch reality shows, right? Like you used to watch
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Big Brother, Survivor, those sort of shows.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Survivor, Virgin River.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: The reality show.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: What's going on with this guy today? He's frisky. You
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: can tell last night. Let the semi-grown men talk.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: But anyway, what LSU did is akin bone to voting
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: like with the House and Big Brother.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Where you realize, OK, we are literally the only school
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: that doesn't want this rule change.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: We're just going to vote with a majority so we
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: don't get any blood on our hands. So that's kind
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: of what ended up happening there. Yeah.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Matt, how about this text from Sweet Tea real quick?
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: This is what you and I deal with here on
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: a daily basis. You guys, when you clap, you sound
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: like Flipper, unlike Kyle Bailey, who sounds like he's clapping
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: with bricks because he's got man hands.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Well, howdy there, y'all.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Kyle Bailey here.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: Bailey up early on his burner? I mean, like, who
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: sends that in at 6 o'clock in the morning? That's
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: a man clap right here. Is that Randy Bailey?
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: It's a man clap. But who sends that in? I
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: don't understand. Who's thinking about Kyle Bailey's clap at 6 a.m.?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: while we're clapping.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: That's odd. You know what I mean? I have no idea.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: I just don't like, Bailey can't even have the title
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: of manly. I mean, he's got manly, everything is manly
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: about him compared to us.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Congrats, Bailey's got great clap. We don't have great clap.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Is that like a real, like someone really is thinking
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: about that?
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Now I want to clap more, Matt. Give me a clap, Matt.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I feel good about my clap. I'm a great clapper.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I feel good about my clap, man.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: All right? Don't try to make me feel insecure about
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: my clap, sir. Also, we were criticized throughout the day yesterday.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: because you and I spent an extra time in kindergarten yesterday.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: That was a whole big deal yesterday. We'll address that
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: at some point here on the radio. Someone brought this
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: up that's a parent. A lot of kids do that
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: to this day.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Also, a lot of Einsteins on the text line that
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: I don't think they got past first grade. So that's
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: saying something. When we come back, a lot of college stuff.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Do the Big Ten and SEC rules have a chance
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: to stand up in court? We've got Kirby Smart talking
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: fifth-year guys and more on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNJ.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: The overarching issue, which, by the way, you were dealing
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: with in basketball season two, of players who have been
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: pros coming back and playing in college is going to
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: be an issue going forward as long as the money's
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: potentially better for them in college. So if you'd like
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: to enforce your eligibility rules, you probably need to, one,
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: clarify them, and two, actually enforce them.
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: So you're you're you're you're right on this it's like
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: next year people will also try to leave the nfl
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: and come back but it won't be because they were
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: wrong based on the timing of.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: The rule right as long as there's money to be
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: made somebody's gonna want to.
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: Do yeah so like i understand the the necessity the
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: necessity to try to institute a rule that says once
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: you sign with a team whether you're drafted or undrafted
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: regardless in the pros that you are no longer eligible
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: under any circumstance to come back to college football.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: It That is Andy Staples, Ari Wasserman on the aptly
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: named Andy and Ari podcast on three. Yesterday talking about
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: the attempts by the Big Ten and the SEC. SEC
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: followed suit last night, if you missed it, creating rules
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: for those that have been in pro camps. Those who
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: have gone through the draft process without withdrawing their name,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: signed pro contracts, any of this stuff, not being making
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: them ineligible to come back to college sports.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: And Andy Staple's point, I think, is is a good
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: one here, because.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: If they've been paying attention, Bonk, And maybe that's being
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: giving too much credit to those that are in power
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: in college sports. But if they've been paying attention, I
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: would think they probably realize there's a very good case
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: that they will end up in court for this and
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: they will lose the court cases. But Andy Staples point
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: is they're trying to put a rule in place for
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: the future. Right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Because because right now.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: These guys, in all honesty, they do have a legitimate
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: case because of the timing of the rule change in June. that, hey,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: if I knew, you know, Daquan Wright, for example, the
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: dude who is, you know, asked for a release from
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: the Browns, a tight end, and now wants to join
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: his former coach, Lane Kiffin, in LSU. Like, he could
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: easily be thinking, well, damn, if they would have told
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: me back in December when I had to make a
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: decision that our class would be eligible for a fifth year,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: I would have just stayed. But, like, they will not,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: next year, they will not have, you know, people will
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: not have that sort of situation, right? Next year, fifth-year eligibles,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: We'll be eligible. So if someone tries to come back,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: I think I guess they want to rule in place
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: for this. There's also probably optics to bone. We're trying
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: to stop this. We're trying to do all we can
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: as a conference.
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: Also, a brilliant chess move yesterday, I thought, by the
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: Big Ten to threaten the suspension of the coaches for.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: half of the season if a pro player plays for
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: their program because what does that do mac you're talking
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: about the court stuff if a player sues the conference
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: now and says i should be eligible yeah go ahead
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: you win that court case we're supposed to spend the
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: coach though the conference can still say you know ryan
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: day kyle whittingham or you know matt campbell yeah you're
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: gonna play that guy who's eligible you're worth suspending you
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: for half the season Interesting. I saw a college football
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: person say that yesterday. Even if they play those guys,
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: the conference can still say, yeah, our rule is you're
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: suspended for half the season.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: So a coach is not going to want to risk
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: that anymore. Chess move by the Big Ten. It's interesting.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: The Big Ten. Now they may counter that somehow, but
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: right now it seems like a good chess move. No,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: that's interesting.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: And the SEC has not decided on what the punishments
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: will be. I saw Andy Staples say they're considering everything
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: from suspensions to fines and stuff like that. So maybe
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: they'll do the same thing. That rule is actually the
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: NCAA actually has that as their ghost transfer rule. Ghost
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: transfer bone is when there's no portal. And they slide
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: someone in Miami and Wisconsin. Miami stole DB from Wisconsin
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: last year this way. So ghost portal is when there's
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: ghost transfer, no portal. We're just going to slide you
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: in without the portal after the fact. So that's that's
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: where that idea for punishment came from. And that's interesting.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: I hadn't thought about that. that that would still stand
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: and would still be a deterrent from the schools for
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: doing it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: Like, legally, you're allowed to play, but our conference is
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: going to deem the coaches responsible for that guy, and
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: you're suspended after that.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: So isn't that what the SEC, if they mean business,
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: and if they really want to look Lane Kiffin in
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: the eye and say, I don't like what you're doing here,
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: shouldn't they do the same thing?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: And Lane Kiffin should be threatened with sitting out half
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: the damn season.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: Well, how about the SEC vote, Mac, was unanimous, including
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: that means LSU voted— uh, in favor of that. It was,
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: it was a unanimous vote yesterday. So the LSU administration
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: was voting against their own people. Well, that was, that
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: was the big brother vote, right?
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: That's the, you know, that's the, we were against it
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: during the talks. But everybody else is for it, so
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: we're just going to give in. I'm pretty sure, Bone,
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: they didn't pull Lane Kiffin in the office two days
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: ago and say, I don't like what you're doing. And
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: Will Wade, you come in here too, son. I'm pretty
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: sure they don't. You know what I mean? I'm pretty
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: sure they love what their guys are doing down there.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: But it sounds like they were beaten. And they just
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: kind of waved the white flag type thing at it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: But it's going to be fascinating to see what the
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: SEC does. It sounds like, based on reports, the Big
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: 12 is going to do this, too. And then the ACC,
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I would guess, would follow. I wouldn't think you'd want
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: to be the one conference. that doesn't do this unless
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: the ACC is trying to be cheap and not have
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: to pay legal bills.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Unless the ACC says, huh, a little advantage for us
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: to get some pros in the league.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: That is true. Hey, we need to get better. We're
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: going to throw some pros in this mix. That is true.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Some conference can say, hey, we're going to take these
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: guys if you want to, I guess.
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: That might be what Joey McGuire probably wants at Texas Tech.
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: He's thinking, we get money and some pros? I got
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: bad news for Joey. Bad news for Joey. Sounds like
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: your AD is against doing that. I know Joey McGuire
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: and Cody Campbell at Texas Tech don't want to be
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: outvillain by Lane Kiffin.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: They feel threatened right now.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, it sounds like Big 12 is going to
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: follow suit, and your AD is not up for that.
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: Now, Mac, like a texter was asking this morning, I
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: think it was Penn State Stephen, you know, you do
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: feel for the kids that get caught up in this
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: to some degree, like a Daquan Wright, who you mentioned.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: So now he asked for his release from the Browns,
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: and now he thinks he's going to LSU. So now
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: what happens with Daquan Wright? He was trying to make
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: the NFL squad. He leaves that for the opportunity at
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: LSU to probably try to become a higher-round pick down
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: the line. He's actually got very good numbers for all
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: returning tight ends, and now he might not play. So
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: now what happens to Daquan Wright? Now he's got to
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: go try for the NFL team again, I guess?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: No, I'm pretty sure he finds a lawyer, takes it
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: to court in– Louisiana and wins that case.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: That's what Seth Trimble's doing now for the Kentucky Corps.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: They're all going to. Everybody's going to do that. Everybody's
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: going to do that. There's no doubt about it. But anyway, yeah, I'm.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Absolutely positive. That is the next step.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: All these lawyers, Bone, the Darren Heitners of the world,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: the guys that defend these players, they were all on
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Twitter immediately last night saying this is illegal. This will
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: be taken to court. I mean, so that's what I
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: think happens. But yeah, I do have, listen, I do
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: have a little sympathy for him. And it's all because
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: the NCAA handled this ridiculously. All you have to do
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: is say, announce in June, starting next week, year not
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: these seasons but the next school year seasons fifth year
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: guys eligible and then when people get football players get
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: to december and they're making their choices they know they
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: have a fifth year like that's all you had to
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: do and then you wouldn't be cheating out you know
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: freshmen that have spots bumped or whoever has has spots
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: bumped from their roster because the roster's set you got
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: to make way like that's the clean way to do
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: it but again the ncaa doesn't do clean man They're
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: a mess.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: We also have something from John Rothstein last night, CBS,
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: CBS sports.com that we have not thought of because we're
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: focused a lot on the football part of this. He
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: asked the NCAA for a statement about eligibility guidelines for
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: international prospects. during the 2027 college basketball season, because those
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: are also guys that have played pro ball. Now, this
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: also might pertain to whether it be the Heels players, Illinois'
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: entire lineup, Mac, might pertain to them. There is a
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: long statement here, but at the bottom of this thing,
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: it says... The NCAA also identified several international leagues in
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: which participation by a prospect is likely to result in
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: violations of NCAA rules and a loss of eligibility. The
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: association is modernizing the rulebook in several ways to ensure
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: college sports are played by college athletes and not used
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: as a fallback for pro athletes And the age based
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: eligibility model is designed to address many member schools concerns
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: regarding eligibility. So there's an international prospect. side to this
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: on the basketball front we haven't thought of right this
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: gets more complicated and i wonder if those i wonder
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: if those things could end up in court too at
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: some point my god the lawyers into ncaa goes international
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: no one's enjoying themselves except these lawyers these lawyers i
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: guarantee are building second third and fourth homes because of this.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: I do want you to hear, Bone, what Kirby Smart
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: said about this. You can add him to the list
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: of coaches, guys like Lanning and Marcus Freeman, who have
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: come out and said, we're not doing it. You can
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: add Kirby Smart to that list.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: No, we're not currently evaluating anybody that's on NFL rosters.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: My thought is just to each his own is my thought.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I'm worried about our team, our organization, how we do things,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: the opportunities presented to the guys on our team is
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: important to me. They've earned those opportunities through an off-season,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: through a summer program, through a really tough fall camp.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: You have to decide, each and every person, if that's
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: valuable enough to warrant replacing your players that have worked
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: with your team with others. Hey, they might be better,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: so our job is to upgrade and try to get
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: better as much as we can and win games. So
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: some people feel like that gives them an opportunity to
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: be better and doesn't change their culture than more power
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: to them.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: That was my point yesterday is Lane Kiffin. I know
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: you don't care, but you are upsetting that locker room.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: You are, you are two guys playing time will be
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: taken away and diminished and they worked their asses off
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: for you all spring and summer. And their buddies will
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: see what you did to them, too. So that's Kirby
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Smart bring. Now, listen, I will point this out, Bone.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Who are the schools who have gone public and said,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: we won't do this? They all have tons of talent
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: in their top five teams.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: They're very comfortable. Georgia, Oregon, and Notre Dame. They're all
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: very comfortable with who they are, their system, their coaches.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: They have tons of talent, too. Yes, yes.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin's trying to get probably to that level. So
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: there is a little bit of that in fairness, too.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Did want to mention this.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: The NCAA... Maybe did something somewhat intelligent.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: What?
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: They didn't go the full. They didn't go full intelligence, Boney.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: But maybe they don't deserve to be held back in
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: kindergarten for this. Maybe now the NCAA has reduced Tennessee
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: linebacker Arian Carter's suspension. from two games to one game
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: so now he will get to play for the georgia
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: tech game he sits out the firman game who really
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: cares no offense to any paladin alums that might be
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: out there but who really cares he sits it out
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: it should be now the reason i say somewhat bone
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: is it should be zero games Oh, no doubt. Because
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: people don't know the story. An agent paid for his
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: trip to work out pre-draft. He got hurt, so pulled
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: it out of the draft, reimbursed the $ 427, and still
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: got suspended.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: For two games.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: That $ 427, sure impactful right now in this landscape of
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: college sports. Mackers, that's the NCAA telling you, we need
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: to do something here to show we still.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Got it, man.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: We still got power. But we won't fully do the
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: right thing. We still want to stick to our guns.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: So it's one game.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? But for the.
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: NCAA, that deserves a golf clap for that ridiculous, pathetic organization.
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: As you said, for the money he reimbursed, he paid
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: back the 427.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Gave it back. My gracious.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: When we come back, Mac, the long-awaited conversation finally happened.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Between Stephen A. Smith and Dave Canales.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: What?
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: We'll play some audio with that. And Jonathan Stewart weighs
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: in on the Panthers' running back duo. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: Is he your franchise quarterback? Is that how you view him?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Is he the franchise?
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: I want to make sure I'm not speaking out of
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: turn when I engage in such superlatives about him.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Is he your franchise quarterback?
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: He is right now.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: He's our guy.
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: He's our guy, and I love the trajectory that he's on.
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: And not just the stuff that he's growing in from
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: just an operational standpoint, moving the offense, finding chemistry and
• 34:19
  Speaker 10: all that, but it's also just the critical moments. It's
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: those games. It's the close games. It's the one score
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: game at the end, whether we're up or down. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: love having Bryce out there. I love that he stays cool,
• 34:31
  Speaker 10: calm and collected and aggressive and he attacks at the
• 34:33
  Speaker 10: right time. So all those things are pointing in the
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: right direction. I'll let the rest of the stuff just,
• 34:38
  Speaker 10: you know, sort itself out with all the conversations with,
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: you know, his whole, his whole group and party and,
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: and the, our front office here with Dan and Brent
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: working that part out. But for me, especially now not
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: calling plays, I get to just enjoy this road and,
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: help him improve on a daily basis and really take
• 34:54
  Speaker 10: that input and get him to take the next step.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: There you go, Stephen A. Trying to get to the
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: bottom of it with Coach Canales. I did not see
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: those two guys having a chit-chat yesterday. Yeah, it's Stephen A.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: 's podcast.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: It's about a 16-minute conversation with Coach Canales and Stephen A.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: It is an odd couple. One I hadn't really thought
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: of before. What did you think of that, Bone? Is
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: he your franchise quarterback? He is for now.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I think that's probably the one. And then he laughed
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: at Stephen A. 's laugh, but I.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, notable wording there by Canales. So, I mean, I
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: guess that's how they feel about it, that he's the
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: guy for now and no one really quite knows yet
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: what level he's going to get to. So, just interesting
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: that he didn't, I don't know, interesting that he didn't
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: fully say he's our guy and then go on from there.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: The before now thing was quite interesting.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, you could just coach speak and say, absolutely. Absolutely,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: he's our franchise quarterback and then let the front office
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: worry about it later. But Dave Canales... Probably has a
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: little George Washington in him. Probably cannot tell a lie.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: And he said it out loud. He is for now. Now,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: he did go on to talk about a lot of
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: the things we talk about when we talk about the
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: positives of Bryce, which is, you know, the way that
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: he makes plays in the clutch and the way he's
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: pulled out. I mean, they played so many close games
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: last year, Bone. Only one of their wins was by
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: more than eight points last year. So they got seven
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: of those eight wins in large part because Bryce Young
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: was able to make the plays late. But he knows it. But, yeah,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: that was a pretty honest answer, man. Bryce Young is
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: guaranteed really nothing beyond being the starter for this season.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: Was expecting nothing but coach speak, but there we go.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: Also was expecting Dave Canales to say, it's a wonderful day,
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: Stephen A. Are you going to come on here? And
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: be this happy the whole entire time. You don't know
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: who I am.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: I don't like when my guests are happy. Come on
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: here and.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Be angry like Chuck. Seriously. Oh, my God. Remember who
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: you're talking to. That is hilarious.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: All right. So anyway, there you go. And I also
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: like to thank Stephen A. for asking that question that
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: has now led to Bebop's first text of the morning.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Stephen A. Thank you. Like a nice cup
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: of coffee. A nice cup of bop.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Anytime when Bryce's name is said. Is that like an
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: automatic trigger for his fingers to start typing?
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? They have said Bryce Young's name.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: You must ask. Wake up the other haters. Where's bagel guy?
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Does he have an alarm that monitors the show somehow, Boat?
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: And here's the name Bryce and immediately wakes that dude up?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: I think Bob is AI. He's not even real at
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: this point. Yeah. Oh, God. So that is that is hilarious.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: All right. So that was interesting.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: That's good content with Coach Canales as he prepares for
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: today's joint practice with the Texans. Also, some good content
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: that I was watching, Bone, is Jonathan Stewart was on
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: one of the Yahoo shows. I think the Daily Sports
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Show or whatever. I'm probably screwing the name up, but
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: it was with Yahoo Sports. And Jay Stu was raving
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: about Brooks and his abilities, but was asked, hey, who's
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: running back one in Carolina? Is it a lot of
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: fantasy cats trying to figure this out right now? Is
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: it Chuba or is it Jonathan Brooks?
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think both of them are built to
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: be RB1. You know, you don't ever, I think, you know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: the outside perception is, you know, you have a running
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: back to be an RB2, a running back by committee. No,
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: you draft these guys, you get these guys in here.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: To be an RB1.
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: They're both RB1 caliber. Trouba Hubbard has proven to be
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: such over his career so far. Jonathan Brooks will be
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: able to make a case for himself this year as
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: the season progresses.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: So there you go. And I think he's right. Teams
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: know they need multiple backs now. And teams probably like
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: it when they compliment each other, right? Can I get
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: a guy that compliments the other? And they do. And
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: I think after that, the chips fall where they may.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: I think it's, it's, you got to kind of, to me,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: you got to ride the wave unless you have a
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley or, you know, there's certain echelon of running back.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't put Chuba or Brooks on that I think
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: it's just like it was with Rico and Chuba the
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: guy that kind of warrants the most carries at the
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: time I feel like should get the most carries at
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: the time if.
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: You gave Dan Morgan Maxim true syrup is that what
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: it's called again I always get that right true syrup
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: if you gave him that serum yeah if you gave
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: him that he probably would not be upset if by
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: the end of the year not that well he signed
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: Chuba But for his first draft class, the trade up
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: with Jonathan Brooks, if you told Dan Morgan that you
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: hit on Brooks and he's your starter by the end
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: of the year and he's shown that he's going to be.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: RB1 going forward, Dan Morgan.
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: Would probably shake his head and say, I'm good with
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: that because he means a lot to Dan Morgan's. resume
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: as a selector and a gm for the panther plus
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: i think his ceiling is higher than than where tube
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: is at right now so i think he wants him
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: to reach that you said it all week though the
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: pass blocking that's gotta be he won't see the field
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: much if he's letting guys blow by him like he's
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: been doing.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but, I mean, that was one game, two incidents,
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: but it does bear watching, and today will be a
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: chance to watch that again when we're out there. We
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: just got to find a way, Bone, to have our
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: head on a swivel and watch both fields at the
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: same time. Like, it's impossible. It's sensory overload at these
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: joint practices because you'll have ones v. ones going on simultaneously, man.
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: We were at the Cleveland one last year, and we
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: had to have our head on a swivel because a
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: Shador Sanders pass almost hit us a few times. Ha, ha, ha.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Was Deshaun practicing then? I don't think he was. He
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: was still injured, right?
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Did y'all see that incompletion he had Monday after he
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: was named a starter where he threw it at a reporter?
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: That might have been on purpose.
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: I'm surprised he didn't try to hit the fans in
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: the stands at practice there in Cleveland.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: I remember Christian Hackenberg, Mac, your guy from Penn State,
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: his first pass as a Jets draft choice, hit a
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: reporter square in the back and knocked his notepad out
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: of his hands. It was like 15 yards out of bounds.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: Never recovered from that one.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Bob, can I ask you a question about Brooks? Is
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: it asking too much for maybe when they come back
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: from the bye week, if he's proven through the first
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: four games that He can handle 12, 15 carries. He's
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: not a negative and pass pro. For the run offense
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: to start to run through him. I feel like those
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: first four games, you got the early bye, could be
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: a litmus test where I don't want to wait until
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: November and December before Brooks to emerge.
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: Well, there's a loyalty they have to Chuba, though, as
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: a leader for this football team. They love Chuba, so
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: that seems a little early, Mac, if it's going to
• 41:54
  Speaker 7: be more Brooks than Chuba. But I will say, Chuba
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: did not stay healthy last year. He was not fully
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: healthy during camp, for what we know and saw. Chuba
• 42:05
  Speaker 7: gets injured now. Brooks may get that job and not
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: look back. So Chuba, if he doesn't stay healthy, then
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: Brooks may get that quicker than we thought. But if
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: Chuba stays healthy, I think there'll be a balance to
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: the end of the year. But Chuba goes out and
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: misses four or five games. It might be Brooks-y time
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: for the foreseeable future.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think you need both guys.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? That's the NFL nowadays. You
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: need both these guys to do it. And I just
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: want to see the ebbs and the flows. I mean,
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: if Jonathan Brooks is going off and is far the
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: superior back, I'm going to be on here saying, hey,
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: how about we divvy the carries up to where he's
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: getting the ball? But I just want to go with
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: the flow. I like both backs. I think they complement
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: each other well. So I'm looking forward to it. Yeah,
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: we need, it's not just Brooks. We want Chuba to
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: stay healthy too, right? He's had his own issues.
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: Texters are upset with one Fitty Marlow right now for
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: trying to get Chuba out of here.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: Did I say, I don't.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Want him benched.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: I just think the run game, I think the entire offense,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: it has a higher ceiling.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: Hey, dumbass, that's why they drafted him.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: In the second round. First back in the draft. Another text.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Tough to see. Despite the injury. Fitty turned his back
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: on Chuba.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I love Chuba, but we talk about the softest thing
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: to take that next step. That next step is coincided
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: with the running game becoming more explosive, more dynamic. Brooks
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: is that runner, not Chuba. That's what he can bring. But,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I just— He hates Canada like 92 does.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: That's right. Little brother, Lake Ontario, no more Lake America.
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: Here we go.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: 92, how'd that tariff boomerang work on you? They came
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: right back at us. That's what a boomerang does. You
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: flick it and it comes right back. So anyway, I
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: understand what Fitty's saying.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to let it play out. I'm going
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: to react as it plays out. You know what I mean?
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: May the best guy get more carries.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: Somebody texted yesterday and said a lot of it might
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: be situational based on matchup. I just like the fact we,
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: I think we got two good backs. And I think Chuba,
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: by the way, I think Chuba's probably not happy with
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: the way it went last year. I think he knows
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: he came back too early. He said that. I think
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: he's motivated too. I really do. I want to mention
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: this real quick here. We have a texter bone that
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: is saying that Dave Kanellis did not say to Stephen A,
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: for now, he is the franchise quarterback.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: He said he is right now. That's the same thing,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: isn't it? For now, right now. It's the same thing.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: It was the same type of tone. He is right now.
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: We didn't completely misquote the guy. It was what it was.
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: There wasn't a lot of mystery to what he said there.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: He could have answered the question better.
• 44:50
  Speaker 7: Playing in point he could have just lied yes we
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: like liars.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: Dave i know you dave i know man you are
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: the great what you and bryce are the greatest guys
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: ever in a coach quarterback combo in the league but
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: you could have just coach spoke that one and made
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: us believe he's the guy you know what i mean.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah but anyway no one's gonna hold that against a
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: coach for lying.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: But here's the thing though i appreciate the honesty is
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: it a big deal that he said that.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a big deal he said that.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Is that the way it is? We all understand.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Bryce understands the score. If he were the franchise quarterback,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you know what he'd have? A franchise quarterback contract.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: So I don't think he did anything fitting. That's a problem.
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: Didn't Brent Tillis kind of explain that in a more
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: elaborate way during camp about the contract? So that's their
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: vibe right now. They're not putting the contract pressure on
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: Bryce publicly. I think that's part of... They want to
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: see more.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: He has not proven enough to where we deem you
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: as the guy for the foreseeable future, and I don't
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: have any.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: I think that's the right way to play it.
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: Speaking of the guy, Matt, our guy B-Bob is just
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: on his game today, as always. He's worried about Rasheed
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: Wallace's run blocking on the Panthers' offensive line. Rasheed Wallace
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: is not a run blocker. Rasheed Wallace. Both teams played hard. Bob,
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: don't lie.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: But yeah, he didn't say, I would guess that Rasheed Wallace,
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: the former UNC big man and NBA big man, probably
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: can't run block in the NFL.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: So Bob, I can't argue with that point.
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: When we come back, what is probably the last action
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: for the starters this preseason? The Panthers and Texans battle
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: today in a joint practice. What developments are we wanting
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: to come out of this morning's practice?
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: We analyze that. Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ.
