- 0:25Speaker 5: All aboard!
- 0:43Speaker 3: It is a football Friday, kids.
- 0:45Speaker 6: Welcome aboard to Mac and Bone Show with some Hornets
- 0:47Speaker 6: sprinkled in. No doubt about it with the home opener
- 0:50Speaker 6: coming up tonight at the Hive, even though we will
- 0:53Speaker 6: not have Con, Kobe, and Grant as well. We're fired
- 0:57Speaker 6: up about it. Speaking of fired up, how about App
- 0:59Speaker 6: State fans? How are y'all feeling after you win as
- 1:03Speaker 6: huge underdogs over JMU? You put their first L up
- 1:09Speaker 6: on the board and you do it in dramatic fashion.
- 1:11Speaker 6: Fashion in overtime. Speaking of overtime, ECU. Tell me if
- 1:16Speaker 6: you heard this before, Pirate fans, you lose on a
- 1:18Speaker 6: Thursday night in overtime.
- 1:20Speaker 3: And the game ends on an interception.
- 1:22Speaker 6: I mean, it was damn near identical to last week.
- 1:26Speaker 6: They were close to pulling off a double-digit underdog upset
- 1:30Speaker 6: as well. We've got big college football games this weekend.
- 1:34Speaker 6: And you know we are talking about the big divisional
- 1:37Speaker 6: matchup against the Bucs.
- 1:38Speaker 3: We can essentially.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Throw them out in the dang NFC South trash can
- 1:43Speaker 1: on Sunday. If not, we give them life. We give
- 1:46Speaker 1: them life. And Baker is so back.
- 1:48Speaker 3: So back.
- 1:49Speaker 6: We'll talk about it today on the Mac and Bone Show.
- 1:53Speaker 6: We've got a hatless Fitty Marlowe. Look at that shiny dome, baby.
- 1:58Speaker 3: What a great choice that was. Look at the light
- 2:01Speaker 3: glistening off that dome, baby. You going home was a
- 2:03Speaker 3: great choice. Look at that man. Got a woman out
- 2:06Speaker 3: of this choice. Has she seen that you've got a
- 2:09Speaker 3: hat on? Yeah, she sued me without a hat. Excellent choice.
- 2:13Speaker 6: Do you get the light glistening off the dome from
- 2:15Speaker 6: that angle, or is it just my angle?
- 2:17Speaker 3: We call that the full Dayball. He's got the full.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Brian Dayball experience. I'm excited, Mac, because it's Friday, and
- 2:25Speaker 1: I feel all right. The party's here on the west side.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I reach for my coffee, and I turn it up.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Designated driver, take the keys to my truck. It's my
- 2:35Speaker 1: tribute there to my man. My great, my icon, Montel
- 2:38Speaker 1: Williams there, about this is how we do it.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Montel Williams, isn't it Montel Jordan?
- 2:45Speaker 1: Well, Montel Williams gave him the idea for it. It
- 2:49Speaker 1: was the whole Montel.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I got that. Montel had that daytime talk show
- 2:52Speaker 3: that got a little crazy. I planned out that whole thing,
- 2:55Speaker 3: and I screwed up. You were close, man. You were close.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Let's get that mop early, baby. Get that mop early.
- 3:00Speaker 1: When Max cleaned up your spills at 6.03. It's going
- 3:04Speaker 1: to be a long day.
- 3:05Speaker 3: I know.
- 3:05Speaker 6: Seriously, I'm not supposed to be the bucket man. Y'all
- 3:07Speaker 6: are supposed to get the bucket out for me.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Bucket man, bucket man. Oh, Mattel Jordan, obviously, duh. There
- 3:13Speaker 3: you go, baby.
- 3:14Speaker 6: It was such a cool moment for me, too, and
- 3:15Speaker 6: I screwed it up. At least you didn't go Carly
- 3:17Speaker 6: Rae Jepsen on me. You know, at least you didn't
- 3:19Speaker 6: go with that Friday reference. That would have been even worse.
- 3:23Speaker 6: All right, man, we've got so much stuff to talk
- 3:26Speaker 6: about today. That was a Thursday night of football. Oh,
- 3:29Speaker 6: by the way, the Bears beat the Patriots as well
- 3:33Speaker 6: in a marquee game in the NFL last night as well.
- 3:37Speaker 6: So that's kind of a big deal as well.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Fun game.
- 3:42Speaker 4: It was.
- 3:42Speaker 3: It was device three for me. I'm not going to lie.
- 3:45Speaker 6: I was very much locked into app and ECU games.
- 3:50Speaker 6: But yeah, it was a good football game. And we'll
- 3:54Speaker 6: talk about it. But App State's the number one story
- 3:56Speaker 6: right now from last night. That was a mammoth win.
- 4:01Speaker 6: I didn't have the guts to pick them to win it.
- 4:03Speaker 6: I felt like they were going to be right there
- 4:05Speaker 6: in that game against JMU bone, but I didn't have
- 4:08Speaker 6: the guts to pick them to win the game.
- 4:10Speaker 1: When I was looking at it yesterday afternoon, the spread
- 4:12Speaker 1: got to, it was 12 and a half.
- 4:14Speaker 3: And I started thinking, man.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I started to get to, I didn't, I didn't bet
- 4:17Speaker 1: it either, but I started to think, man, that's getting to,
- 4:20Speaker 1: that's getting to take out territory to be 12 and
- 4:22Speaker 1: a half at home against the Yeah, but I didn't
- 4:25Speaker 1: do it. I should have, and App proved me wrong
- 4:28Speaker 1: on that one. They proved a lot of people wrong, man.
- 4:30Speaker 1: And I'm going to tell you, I don't mean to
- 4:32Speaker 1: sound like Pat McAfee, but App State is a good
- 4:34Speaker 1: football team.
- 4:35Speaker 6: When you look at their losses, NC State, they came
- 4:39Speaker 6: back from 21 down, pushed NC State, made it a
- 4:42Speaker 6: hell of a game. Their loss against ODU was played
- 4:45Speaker 6: in weather conditions. Can we now admit Malachi Singleton, that's
- 4:49Speaker 6: not the real Malachi Singleton? Yeah, you were all over
- 4:51Speaker 6: that one. You know, 5-23 in that game. How good
- 4:53Speaker 6: did he play last night? And the Hasselbeck stuff, they
- 4:57Speaker 6: were trying... Loggins was, again, trying to find the sweet
- 5:00Speaker 6: spot of using both of them. And I actually felt
- 5:03Speaker 6: like they were bringing Hasselbeck in inside the 30. And
- 5:06Speaker 6: I actually found myself feeling like... Why are you bringing
- 5:10Speaker 6: him in? Singleton's straight dealing, especially in the second half.
- 5:14Speaker 6: But I'll be damned if the huge touchdown late in
- 5:17Speaker 6: the game wasn't with Henry Hasselbeck in, bootleg rollout, they
- 5:22Speaker 6: think he's going to run, throws the touchdown pass to
- 5:25Speaker 6: the tight end. It wasn't that simple. Game wasn't over there.
- 5:29Speaker 6: JMU scores a game-tying touchdown with four seconds left. in
- 5:33Speaker 6: regulation as Coleman, one of their QBs, runs the ball in.
- 5:37Speaker 3: But App State gets.
- 5:39Speaker 6: A huge tackle for loss in overtime that puts JMU back.
- 5:44Speaker 6: JMU ends up having to attempt a 46-yard field goal.
- 5:48Speaker 6: They miss it. App State sets up a 40-yard field goal.
- 5:52Speaker 6: They win it. They hit the field goal. And, I mean,
- 5:55Speaker 6: Boone is probably still awake, man, partying.
- 5:58Speaker 1: We've said it a couple times this year for various teams.
- 6:02Speaker 1: But there are wins that are big for the immediate
- 6:05Speaker 1: and for the overall program. Program wins. And Dow Loggins
- 6:10Speaker 1: needed that. He needed that signature win. And he got
- 6:13Speaker 1: it last night for perspective on how good JMU was
- 6:16Speaker 1: playing entering the game, not just undefeated, Mac. They had
- 6:19Speaker 1: scored entering the game 160 points in the conference. Excuse me,
- 6:27Speaker 1: over 160 points in the conference. That's almost 100 more
- 6:30Speaker 1: than everybody else in their division. Over 40 a game. Yeah,
- 6:34Speaker 1: Apt did a great job in containing them. First part
- 6:37Speaker 1: of the game, I thought, oh, man, JMU went down
- 6:38Speaker 1: there pretty quickly. But then it kind of evened out
- 6:40Speaker 1: a little bit. The stats, nothing really jumps out if
- 6:44Speaker 1: you just look at the box scores. Oh, this happened
- 6:46Speaker 1: or this happened. But there's one, and that's JMU. going
- 6:50Speaker 1: two for 15 on third down last night. They were
- 6:52Speaker 1: three for three on fourth down, but two for 15
- 6:55Speaker 1: on third down was, I think, a huge difference in
- 6:58Speaker 1: that ballgame last night.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Colton Ferris was amazing.
- 7:02Speaker 6: He is a stud linebacker, former safety stud linebacker for
- 7:06Speaker 6: this team. Made multiple plays on third down to get stops.
- 7:10Speaker 6: Ended up with a big interception in this game.
- 7:13Speaker 3: He's a stud.
- 7:14Speaker 1: This defense is vastly improved.
- 7:16Speaker 6: They had not been up to the defensive standard of late.
- 7:20Speaker 6: And I feel like this team is getting themselves back
- 7:23Speaker 6: to there. And like I said, Malachi Singleton, I thought,
- 7:27Speaker 6: was so sharp in that second half.
- 7:28Speaker 7: 271 yards.
- 7:30Speaker 6: Two touchdowns, no picks. Hasselbeck had the big touchdown. So
- 7:34Speaker 6: that was a huge night for App State. I'm happy
- 7:37Speaker 6: for App fans. And we have been getting some texts
- 7:39Speaker 6: this week of App fans still kind of questioning Dow Loggins.
- 7:43Speaker 6: I hope he gets a little bit of love today.
- 7:45Speaker 6: And I do want to mention... Five and.
- 7:47Speaker 3: Two overall feels a whole lot different than four and
- 7:49Speaker 3: three would.
- 7:50Speaker 1: And you said it. It's five and two. With a fluky,
- 7:54Speaker 1: I think, and you think weather-related loss to ODU along
- 7:57Speaker 1: the way. And the state game is nothing to be
- 7:59Speaker 1: ashamed of at all. It's a good football team. You've
- 8:02Speaker 1: got to feel, if you're Ab, you're feeling good about
- 8:05Speaker 1: what that 5-2 is right now. Shout out James London,
- 8:08Speaker 1: their kicker. He's the hero. I'm sure he had a
- 8:11Speaker 1: bunch of drinks bought for him last night. But he
- 8:14Speaker 1: was 4-4 for field goals overall. Where Suarez, the JMU kicker, 1-3,
- 8:20Speaker 1: including the miss in overtime. the kicking game, man, kickers
- 8:23Speaker 1: are people too.
- 8:24Speaker 6: And sometimes they're the most important people on the field.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Yeah. So the kicker differential was big in that game. ECU.
- 8:30Speaker 6: I thought, I thought, I thought we might get a
- 8:35Speaker 6: little double-barrel upset. Double-digit underdogs. It was very interesting that
- 8:39Speaker 6: App and ECU were double-digit underdogs on Thursday night, national
- 8:43Speaker 6: TV on the same night. ECU was playing Memphis, and
- 8:47Speaker 6: they led this game 16-3 at the half. They made
- 8:50Speaker 6: a QB change despite being up early in the game.
- 8:55Speaker 6: They went to Mitch Griffiths. They wanted to push the
- 8:58Speaker 6: ball down the field more. And I think they thought,
- 9:00Speaker 6: you know, they had Mitch Griffiths firing it downfield a
- 9:03Speaker 6: bunch in this game.
- 9:06Speaker 3: And they they did.
- 9:07Speaker 6: Get they did get an overtime for the second straight
- 9:09Speaker 6: week bone. But I'll be damned if and I'm gonna
- 9:12Speaker 6: tell you right now, I thought they got flat out screwed.
- 9:16Speaker 3: I thought they got flat-out screwed at the end of
- 9:18Speaker 3: that game.
- 9:19Speaker 6: I've already compared it to last week in terms of
- 9:23Speaker 6: the game ended on an interception. That, to me, was
- 9:26Speaker 6: blatant pass interference. The dude shoves the receiver... Oh, yeah.
- 9:31Speaker 3: A hundred percent.
- 9:32Speaker 6: Shove sides aside and then catches the ball and the
- 9:36Speaker 6: referees don't do a damn thing.
- 9:38Speaker 3: Game over. I'd be so pissed if I was a
- 9:40Speaker 3: pirate fan about that.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Now ECU, Matt, they sit here at three and three.
- 9:44Speaker 1: So we're talking about how good do app fans feel
- 9:47Speaker 1: about that win last night?
- 9:48Speaker 3: ECU.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I thought when the, over the summer, they'd be competing
- 9:53Speaker 1: for the most wins in the state. I had, you know,
- 9:56Speaker 1: eight or nine win range, but you know, they're, they're,
- 10:00Speaker 1: it's got to be frustrating for the fans because they're
- 10:02Speaker 1: right there in these games.
- 10:04Speaker 3: They're just not sealing the deal. Maybe Thursday night games
- 10:07Speaker 3: just aren't the jam for ECU. Is that what it is, Bo?
- 10:11Speaker 3: That's the problem? Two weeks in a row in overtime,
- 10:13Speaker 3: they get beat. They got screwed.
- 10:14Speaker 6: I thought that game, they should have had a chance
- 10:16Speaker 6: to either go for two to win it, which I
- 10:18Speaker 6: would have been interested to see what Blake Harrell would
- 10:20Speaker 6: have done if they got that touchdown there.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Sorry, they're 3-4, not 3-3. Would he have tried to
- 10:24Speaker 3: get his Will Stein on?
- 10:25Speaker 6: You know, like in gone for two or not, but
- 10:29Speaker 6: we're not going to know because they got away Memphis
- 10:31Speaker 6: with blatant pass interference. I was a bit disappointed in
- 10:35Speaker 6: ECU's defense.
- 10:37Speaker 3: They held this high powered man. And don't get me wrong.
- 10:40Speaker 6: Memphis is like a top 10, top 12 offense, um,
- 10:43Speaker 6: in the country statistically, but they held them to three
- 10:46Speaker 6: points in the first half. They got obliterated and lit
- 10:49Speaker 6: up for 38 in the second half and overtime. And
- 10:51Speaker 6: this ECU defense is one of the best statistically in
- 10:54Speaker 6: the conference. So I was pretty disappointed in that one,
- 10:58Speaker 6: and I'm sure Pirate fans were as well.
- 11:00Speaker 3: It was a great game.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Listen, they played their hearts out against a really good team, Memphis' 6-2,
- 11:05Speaker 6: one of the best teams in the conference. And Memphis
- 11:07Speaker 6: was coming off a butt kick into Tulane last week.
- 11:10Speaker 6: So they were– although they didn't play like that at
- 11:13Speaker 6: the beginning– They played like they were still depressed, but
- 11:17Speaker 6: they probably had.
- 11:17Speaker 1: An edge about them as well. Third down, also a
- 11:20Speaker 1: problem for ECU. Five for 17 on third down. So
- 11:23Speaker 1: much like we're talking about JMU's problems there, ECU also
- 11:26Speaker 1: had trouble on third down as well. Two total— In
- 11:29Speaker 1: these very even matchups, third down was a huge difference.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Two total picks by Griffis. I mean, that— The quarterback
- 11:36Speaker 1: shuffles happened again now. They went from Griffis to Williams.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Then Williams starts five of 13 last night. They go
- 11:42Speaker 1: to Griffis.
- 11:43Speaker 6: If you keep quarterback shuffling back and forth like this.
- 11:48Speaker 3: It's just inbound. It's not a good sign. Right.
- 11:51Speaker 6: You don't have somebody that can just grab the job
- 11:53Speaker 6: and run with it. So I do feel like they're
- 11:56Speaker 6: banged up at the receiver spot. I mean, Spalding hasn't
- 11:59Speaker 6: played all season, I don't think. Melvin, their big play guy,
- 12:02Speaker 6: was out last night. So anyway, I hate it for ECU.
- 12:07Speaker 6: App was the star of the show. ECU just gets
- 12:09Speaker 6: an attaboy, and you got screwed in freaking overtime.
- 12:11Speaker 8: No, they did.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Can I address, Mac, a controversy that has happened on
- 12:15Speaker 1: the Internet involving a– obviously a very classy JMU fan.
- 12:20Speaker 3: And what happened last night? I don't know anything about this.
- 12:23Speaker 1: One of these guys, yesterday, one day ago, or it
- 12:27Speaker 1: wasn't even last night, it was the day before the game.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Are you familiar, Mac, with the work of Fletcher Shotgun Cox?
- 12:33Speaker 6: No, I could say Fletcher Cox, the former defensive lineman.
- 12:36Speaker 3: This is Shotgun Cox.
- 12:38Speaker 1: If JMU loses to App, I'll eat dog poop out
- 12:42Speaker 1: of a cup on video. Now, that's what he said,
- 12:45Speaker 1: and Big Cat, who always seems to find these things,
- 12:48Speaker 1: checked on this guy, Mac.
- 12:49Speaker 3: During the game.
- 12:50Speaker 1: And when JMU got in trouble in the game, this
- 12:53Speaker 1: guy deleted his Twitter account during the game.
- 12:57Speaker 3: He realized what he got himself into.
- 12:59Speaker 1: So now the internet's very upset at this guy for
- 13:01Speaker 1: not being a man about it and deleting his account.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Shotgun, where are you at? Where are you at, baby?
- 13:09Speaker 3: You seem to have disappeared.
- 13:10Speaker 6: Big Cat is the sheriff when it comes to policing
- 13:14Speaker 6: these nasty, disgusting bets.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Yes. He will hold everybody accountable. Someone's got to do it.
- 13:22Speaker 1: You can't just go on there and tweet out nonsense
- 13:25Speaker 1: and not pay it. And to delete your account in
- 13:26Speaker 1: the middle of the game. You didn't even get to
- 13:28Speaker 1: the end of the game.
- 13:29Speaker 3: I'd respect that more. See it through, shotgun.
- 13:32Speaker 6: He saw the writing on the wall and just started panicking.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Can you make a bet like that at some point?
- 13:36Speaker 1: No?
- 13:36Speaker 3: Nothing.
- 13:38Speaker 5: We had the bet yesterday about Mac eating what?
- 13:42Speaker 3: My thong? That's maybe as close as we're going to
- 13:44Speaker 3: get to.
- 13:45Speaker 6: I proposed an underwear bet where someone has to eat
- 13:48Speaker 6: someone else's underwear, and Bone got so grossed out, I
- 13:50Speaker 6: thought he was going to vomit.
- 13:51Speaker 5: Are you willing to participate in the bet, or is
- 13:53Speaker 5: it just a Bone and I bet, like for next
- 13:55Speaker 5: year's Subway series?
- 13:57Speaker 3: No, I'm not participating in the bet. Well, then you're
- 14:00Speaker 3: a coward.
- 14:01Speaker 6: I was suggesting. I'm going to delete my account. Actually,
- 14:04Speaker 6: I will participate in the event, and if I lose,
- 14:06Speaker 6: I will delete my account.
- 14:07Speaker 3: You need to delete.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Your account, because whenever you tweet about teams, you curse them.
- 14:11Speaker 5: So you'd be doing the whole city a favor if
- 14:12Speaker 5: you got on Twitter.
- 14:15Speaker 3: All right. Noted. Let me write that down. Let me
- 14:18Speaker 3: write that suggestion down.
- 14:19Speaker 5: No tweets tomorrow night at 730. Give that some thought. Anyway,
- 14:24Speaker 5: I'm not going to curse. I probably will. I probably
- 14:26Speaker 5: will pick the heels. We'll see what happens, Fetty. We'll
- 14:29Speaker 5: see what happens.
- 14:30Speaker 3: All right? No promises, sir. No promises.
- 14:33Speaker 5: If you pick Syracuse, you're just a hater. So you
- 14:36Speaker 5: can't tweet about Carolina, but you can't pick Syracuse either.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Am I allowed to pick anybody on the show? Am
- 14:40Speaker 3: I allowed to do that here? No.
- 14:42Speaker 6: I got real good news for Bone and the Gamecock
- 14:44Speaker 6: fans today. Spurs up. Spurs up, baby. Vols fans, it's happening.
- 14:51Speaker 6: Bones been calling you out all week.
- 14:54Speaker 3: Oh, this is beautiful. It's happening, baby. It's happening. Rocky
- 14:56Speaker 3: Top is going to Rocky Top tomorrow.
- 14:59Speaker 6: Anyway, we'll get into this, man. We will get into
- 15:01Speaker 6: all of this. I do want to mention... I'm processing
- 15:03Speaker 6: all this. I do want to mention the Bears winning
- 15:07Speaker 6: last night against New England. Both QBs over 300 yards. Um,
- 15:13Speaker 6: in this game, I still don't know how the bears
- 15:16Speaker 6: defense allowed new England to score a touchdown on a
- 15:19Speaker 6: dump off pass from, I don't know, close to the
- 15:22Speaker 6: 50 bone with a few seconds left in the first half.
- 15:25Speaker 1: That's a Andy, Andy Rita design play. It's send everyone
- 15:29Speaker 1: down for the hail Mary. And then you, send a
- 15:31Speaker 1: guy underneath and you think they're also going to do
- 15:33Speaker 1: the pitchy pitchy woo woo and they don't do that

- 15:56Speaker 6: don't care who designed that play. There is no way
- 15:59Speaker 6: that should work. Like, seriously, there is no way. We
- 16:02Speaker 6: run everybody into the end zone. You're covering the end zone.
- 16:05Speaker 6: We dump it off. You're still able to come up
- 16:08Speaker 6: and make a tackle.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Like, that should not work. Scott Hanson used it as
- 16:13Speaker 1: a tribute to SVP. There you go, baby. And Bone
- 16:16Speaker 1: has used it as a tribute to both Scotts.
- 16:19Speaker 3: There you go. Great Scott.
- 16:22Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't give a damn about the design of
- 16:24Speaker 6: that play, Boney. That one should never work.
- 16:26Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Should never, ever work. You talk about taking bad angles.
- 16:30Speaker 1: I don't know where Kyler Gordon was going.
- 16:32Speaker 3: There were guys.
- 16:32Speaker 1: That was crazy. Guys falling down. I mean, it wasn't
- 16:35Speaker 1: even like Mackey. Remember when Miami had that kickoff return
- 16:39Speaker 1: and they had Gronk back there and they went on
- 16:42Speaker 1: for a while and they were making guys miss and
- 16:44Speaker 1: there were guys diving.
- 16:45Speaker 3: It was almost like it was Stevenson, right, that made
- 16:47Speaker 3: the play?
- 16:48Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 16:48Speaker 1: He got the ball and almost looked around like, is
- 16:50Speaker 1: anyone going to– I'll sidestep this guy. Is anyone going
- 16:52Speaker 1: to stop me here? Not even really much of a
- 16:56Speaker 1: contest at all.
- 16:57Speaker 6: No, there was not like a big movie made. He
- 16:59Speaker 6: just kind of didn't need to break a tackle. Like,
- 17:01Speaker 6: Oh my God, how do you.
- 17:02Speaker 3: Get out of that? Step to his left, looked around
- 17:03Speaker 3: and said, is anyone going to touch me?
- 17:05Speaker 6: That was some pathetic ass defense right there. And I
- 17:08Speaker 6: say that knowing that our defense gave up 59 to
- 17:10Speaker 6: the bears, but the bears did win the game. Luther
- 17:13Speaker 6: burden was huge in that first half. making big plays
- 17:16Speaker 6: constantly after the catch for the Bears. Ended up four
- 17:21Speaker 6: for 130. So Chicago to five and two. New England
- 17:24Speaker 6: drops to four and three. Drake did a lot of
- 17:27Speaker 6: good things, but he had an interception that was pretty.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Bad down there in the red zone throwing into the
- 17:32Speaker 3: end zone.
- 17:33Speaker 6: I thought that was a pretty bad pick for a
- 17:36Speaker 6: quarterback of his caliber.
- 17:37Speaker 3: That one play reminded me of early season Drake.
- 17:40Speaker 1: But then at the end, Santos hits a 58-yard field
- 17:43Speaker 1: goal his career long.
- 17:44Speaker 3: I couldn't believe they were trying it.
- 17:45Speaker 1: He doinked one earlier, and then apparently he told Ben Johnson,
- 17:48Speaker 1: who wasn't going to kick the field goal, he said,
- 17:51Speaker 1: let me have it. He doesn't have a strong leg.
- 17:54Speaker 1: He goes for 58 yards, and that seals the game.
- 17:57Speaker 1: So if he does it... The Patriots get the ball
- 18:00Speaker 1: at the 48 down by six and probably win the
- 18:04Speaker 1: football game.
- 18:05Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a gamble, man. I was very surprised
- 18:07Speaker 6: they did that. But there's something about trusting your players.
- 18:11Speaker 6: And that's why he's a great players coach. But there's something, remember,
- 18:16Speaker 6: was it Rico last year? that went to the sideline
- 18:19Speaker 6: and said, call this play.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. And they ran it, and he got a touchdown.
- 18:23Speaker 6: Like, there's something about, especially at the pro level, but
- 18:26Speaker 6: I think in general, there's something about empowering your players.
- 18:30Speaker 3: You got this? All right. Very much so. I got
- 18:33Speaker 3: your back.
- 18:33Speaker 6: And then if they go and do it, I think it's,
- 18:35Speaker 6: and then the other players see that. You know what
- 18:38Speaker 6: I mean?
- 18:39Speaker 1: So I think that was big. Is the mop out again?
- 18:41Speaker 1: Can we use the mop for a second here?
- 18:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:44Speaker 1: I messed up Montel Williams, Montel Jordan, but we have
- 18:47Speaker 1: to clean up Mac's mistake after that. Rachel Black, Mac,
- 18:50Speaker 1: sang the Friday song. Oh, who's Carly Rae Jepsen? She
- 18:52Speaker 1: sang Call Me Maybe. It was a musical mess to
- 18:57Speaker 1: start this show today. We have Montel Williams and Carly
- 19:01Speaker 1: Rae Jepsen on a duet.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Call Me Maybe, that's it. So Call Me Maybe. Who
- 19:05Speaker 3: did Friday? Rebecca Black.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Rebecca Black, yeah, okay. And we never heard from her again,
- 19:10Speaker 1: have we?
- 19:11Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 19:12Speaker 3: She's not working on Fridays. It's Friday.
- 19:16Speaker 6: It's Friday.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Got to go to work at Fridays. That's our new version.
- 19:21Speaker 3: That's pretty funny. All right.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Well, we'll leave on that because no mistakes were made
- 19:25Speaker 1: from that point on. We're done with music for the day.
- 19:27Speaker 1: It's not a good music day for us. We come back.
- 19:30Speaker 1: We got Panthers, Bucs, news and notes. The Bucs are
- 19:33Speaker 1: still pretty banged up, but Baker is so playing in
- 19:37Speaker 1: this game. We've got Avero talking about one of the
- 19:39Speaker 1: underrated young studs for this Panthers defense. Hear who it
- 19:43Speaker 1: is and what he had to say. It's Mac and
- 19:45Speaker 1: Bone on a Friday. Sports Radio 92.7 WFN.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Friday.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Gotta get down on Friday.
- 19:54Speaker 5: Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend Friday.
- 20:07Speaker 3: There you go, Rebecca Black. Somebody texted in and said
- 20:14Speaker 3: they Googled it.
- 20:15Speaker 6: Rebecca Black's net worth is $ 2 million, so the joke
- 20:18Speaker 6: is on us.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Just for Wiking Fridays. Dave Canales likes Wednesdays. He didn't
- 20:22Speaker 1: get that much for Wiking Wednesdays.
- 20:23Speaker 5: I like Jersey Mike's Tuesday. Where's my song, damn it?
- 20:27Speaker 6: When is Dave going to release Work Wednesday, Work Wednesday,
- 20:33Speaker 6: getting back to work on Wednesday?
- 20:35Speaker 3: That would be amazing. Come on, Davey, see? I got
- 20:38Speaker 3: to tell you, Mac, you were on one today. You
- 20:39Speaker 3: were feeling it today. I like it. I'm here for it.
- 20:42Speaker 3: The Mac Renaissance, the comeback tour.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Okay.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. You didn't really go anywhere.
- 20:46Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm very upset to know that I left. Somebody
- 20:50Speaker 6: said that Rebecca Black has a comeback in her career
- 20:52Speaker 6: right now. But I Googled it and said her only
- 20:55Speaker 6: hit song is Friday. And the guy was joking because
- 20:57Speaker 6: he said he's thinking about Mondays now. Was that a
- 21:01Speaker 6: different one or was that the same guy? Maybe it's
- 21:02Speaker 6: the same guy. I don't know.
- 21:04Speaker 3: I don't know. All right.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Anyway, Rebecca Black, we salute you. And how dare I
- 21:09Speaker 1: disrespect you? How dare I disrespect her hit jam? Was
- 21:14Speaker 1: that the one that Preppy played that, right?
- 21:16Speaker 3: Yeah, we hated it. On our show. Yeah, we hated it.
- 21:18Speaker 3: And we hated it. And Preppy just played it even more. Yes. Like,
- 21:23Speaker 3: if y'all think Fitty is a troll... Now Preppy texts
- 21:26Speaker 3: the show on Fridays.
- 21:27Speaker 6: If y'all think Fitty is a troll as producer, that's
- 21:30Speaker 6: just kind of, like, on air. Like, Preppy, like, would
- 21:33Speaker 6: troll us with production and, like, refuse.
- 21:38Speaker 3: To do what we wanted. Man, Preppy, now I think
- 21:40Speaker 3: about it, he annoyed me. His whole goal was to
- 21:42Speaker 3: be a hiney pimple. Yeah, he did. He accomplished that.
- 21:45Speaker 3: No doubt about it.
- 21:47Speaker 4: Anyway.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Salute to Preppy out there if you're listening. All right, man.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Thank you for all you did.
- 21:51Speaker 6: Anyway, all right, let's get into the Panther stuff right now.
- 21:55Speaker 6: Buck's got a bunch of injuries, but we do know this.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield's playing.
- 21:59Speaker 6: They haven't made an official announcement, but they made him
- 22:01Speaker 6: available in a press conference. where he did all but
- 22:04Speaker 6: tell everybody, I'm good enough this week to play.
- 22:08Speaker 3: It's obvious.
- 22:09Speaker 6: You and I thought it was obvious going into the
- 22:11Speaker 6: week that Baker Mayfield was going to play. And yesterday,
- 22:15Speaker 6: he revealed, Bone, that the plan was to get him
- 22:19Speaker 6: out there last week, but it didn't happen.
- 22:23Speaker 8: My goal was Pittsburgh, to be honest with you. I really,
- 22:26Speaker 8: really pushed the limit on it. And I wasn't able
- 22:29Speaker 8: to do it. I didn't feel like I was going
- 22:30Speaker 8: to put our team in a position to have success.
- 22:32Speaker 8: I felt like Jalen was going to be the better option.
- 22:35Speaker 8: I pushed it, and you don't know until you try it. Obviously,
- 22:40Speaker 8: with the goal of Pittsburgh and understanding that we have
- 22:42Speaker 8: two division games right after that, you can.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Settle for that.
- 22:44Speaker 8: I obviously want to be out there and play with
- 22:46Speaker 8: the guys. This was kind of the last week that
- 22:50Speaker 8: I wanted to be ready to roll.
- 22:51Speaker 3: So we got lucky bone. And for him to sit
- 22:54Speaker 3: it out, even if he's that close, he had to
- 22:55Speaker 3: be really not feeling it last week.
- 22:57Speaker 6: We got lucky bone with two playing two back. And
- 23:00Speaker 6: I shouldn't phrase it that way.
- 23:01Speaker 3: I got you, though.
- 23:02Speaker 6: Because of what happened to Jalen Hurts, how serious that is.
- 23:04Speaker 6: But you know what I mean. We were the benefit
- 23:06Speaker 6: of that. Yeah, the beneficiaries of these situations by playing
- 23:09Speaker 6: backup QBs. And this week I thought maybe it happened
- 23:12Speaker 6: for a third time. It's not going to happen.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Baker's in there.
- 23:15Speaker 6: Does that change? And this will be a theme of
- 23:17Speaker 6: the show today, I'm sure. But does that change a
- 23:19Speaker 6: lot of like how you feel? It's got to change
- 23:22Speaker 6: at some, right? Well, his record in his career against
- 23:25Speaker 6: the Panthers is six and one. Last year, the Panthers
- 23:28Speaker 6: got him for the first time end of the year. Yeah, no,
- 23:33Speaker 6: it completely does.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Because, yes, Daniels has done an all right job. They
- 23:37Speaker 1: beat Dallas with the run game. But I think Baker
- 23:40Speaker 1: playing Mack under the circumstances is what would concern me
- 23:44Speaker 1: the most. The Panthers are the better football team. But
- 23:46Speaker 1: sometimes in the NFL, it's about the desperate team, the
- 23:50Speaker 1: team that needs it the most. in that angle of it.
- 23:53Speaker 1: So I think that Baker playing Todd Bowles, we think
- 23:57Speaker 1: probably job on the line. That to me is what
- 23:59Speaker 1: I worry the most about. So yes, Baker, Baker puts
- 24:02Speaker 1: them at a different level when everything is on the
- 24:04Speaker 1: line for them right now, their season is about to
- 24:05Speaker 1: be completely over unless they beat the Panthers.
- 24:08Speaker 3: I mean, it might be anyway, but it's, it's on that.
- 24:11Speaker 3: It's on that. It's Harris teetering right now. It is.
- 24:13Speaker 6: And we can push them over the edge or they
- 24:15Speaker 6: can get themselves right back into the mix. It's a
- 24:17Speaker 6: mammoth game. It really is for both teams.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Uh, And it's also us saying, hey, you used to
- 24:23Speaker 1: be the kings of this division.
- 24:25Speaker 3: Get to stepping.
- 24:26Speaker 6: There's a there's a statement that can be made directly
- 24:29Speaker 6: to the box. The statement also, to your point, might
- 24:32Speaker 6: be Todd Bowles. When you get back to Tampa, start
- 24:35Speaker 6: packing stuff up like it's it's I don't know if
- 24:38Speaker 6: Bowles would get fired immediately after the game. But the
- 24:41Speaker 6: Carolina Reaper bone can have a direct, maybe, but definitely
- 24:45Speaker 6: an indirect impact. Because like you said, it feels like
- 24:48Speaker 6: if they lose this game, it feels like the writing
- 24:52Speaker 6: then becomes really on the wall.
- 24:54Speaker 1: There's two ways to look at it. It's all about
- 24:56Speaker 1: just your general vibe. Do you want Baker the first
- 25:00Speaker 1: game off of being out? And maybe there's some rust
- 25:03Speaker 1: there trying to get used to the thumbback. He's wearing
- 25:05Speaker 1: a specialized glove designed by the Rays. on his hands
- 25:10Speaker 1: that's an interesting thing there so do you want him
- 25:12Speaker 1: where he's got to figure this out or do you
- 25:14Speaker 1: worry that you're getting him at the wrong time because
- 25:17Speaker 1: of what we just talked about with the desperation angle
- 25:19Speaker 1: they're just everyone can view it differently.
- 25:20Speaker 6: I'm gonna tell you right now i want the undrafted
- 25:23Speaker 6: uh free agent rookie quarterback bone that has three touchdowns
- 25:27Speaker 6: five picks and a 63 quarterback rating That's the guy
- 25:30Speaker 6: I want to see.
- 25:31Speaker 3: But with that said, I'm not going to.
- 25:33Speaker 6: Sit here and shake in my bootsies because Baker Mayfield
- 25:36Speaker 6: is going to be on the field at the bank.
- 25:38Speaker 3: We're grown men. We got him last year on that
- 25:40Speaker 3: damn field.
- 25:41Speaker 1: This is a grown man's show. We will not be
- 25:43Speaker 1: shaking in our bootsies. I heard a stat, Bone. I
- 25:46Speaker 1: heard a stat. If we were a grown man's show,
- 25:48Speaker 1: maybe I guess I wouldn't have said bootsies. But anyway,
- 25:50Speaker 1: work with us. I heard a stat, and I feel
- 25:54Speaker 1: like maybe we need to verify.
- 25:56Speaker 6: Steve Palazzolo on their 30-13 podcast this week said Baker
- 26:02Speaker 6: Mayfield is 2-11 in his last 13 starts.
- 26:08Speaker 4: Jeez.
- 26:09Speaker 3: That's crazy.
- 26:10Speaker 6: So that's the thing is, yes, you would think he's
- 26:13Speaker 6: way better than Jalen Daniels, but But man, they have
- 26:17Speaker 6: not been winning with him at the helm. But like
- 26:19Speaker 6: you said, he's 6-1 against us with a 97 QB rating.
- 26:23Speaker 6: And the Bucs in general, the Bucs have won 6-7
- 26:25Speaker 6: in general against us.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Their dynamic has also changed. Because when you think of
- 26:30Speaker 1: the Bucs, Matt, of recent times, you think, wow, they
- 26:32Speaker 1: had a lot of weapons.
- 26:34Speaker 3: They got a lot of guys you got to worry about. Well,
- 26:36Speaker 3: Evans is gone. Abuka.
- 26:38Speaker 1: You know, we thought he was going to be this great,
- 26:40Speaker 1: you know, JSN maybe type guy for them. He's not
- 26:44Speaker 1: really been that yet. And Chris Godwin has really basically
- 26:47Speaker 1: fallen off a cliff this year. So all these guys,
- 26:49Speaker 1: when we looked at when they drafted Abuka, it's like, wow.
- 26:52Speaker 1: McMillan was there, too. They got the running backs. It's like, geez,
- 26:55Speaker 1: they have so many options now. And it feels like.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Guys have gone away. Guys have regressed. Guys have not
- 27:01Speaker 1: gone up to another level. It's just not the same
- 27:04Speaker 1: team around Baker right now either.
- 27:05Speaker 3: No. I have 3-10 for Baker in his last 13 starts.
- 27:08Speaker 6: 3-10 in his last 13. Okay, so they were close
- 27:11Speaker 6: but didn't nail it.
- 27:12Speaker 5: His last win, January 3rd, against Carolina as a starting quarterback.
- 27:17Speaker 6: In a game that the referees helped him win. There
- 27:20Speaker 6: should be an asterisk on that one. You mentioned at
- 27:23Speaker 6: Book and Godwin they're both below 10 yards a catch.
- 27:27Speaker 6: which is pretty bad for a wide receiver. And they
- 27:30Speaker 6: both have not practiced yet this week due to injury.
- 27:32Speaker 6: So they might not even be on the field bone
- 27:34Speaker 6: to help Baker. Gidecki, their right tackle, has not practiced
- 27:38Speaker 6: this week. So they may play a backup at right tackle. Unfortunately,
- 27:43Speaker 6: we won't have Jalen Phillips on that side to take
- 27:46Speaker 6: advantage of it. Christian Roseboom has gone on IR. He
- 27:50Speaker 6: won't be in the line. He has not played necessarily
- 27:52Speaker 6: a ton of snaps for them. And Antoine Winfield is
- 27:55Speaker 6: up in the air. He was limited yesterday. So they've got, like,
- 27:58Speaker 6: we've got Phillips, which is a major injury. We got
- 28:01Speaker 6: Inkoom out. But everybody else practiced yesterday. So it's clear
- 28:05Speaker 6: for everybody else for us.
- 28:07Speaker 1: This is sad. This is just sad. I'm being questioned
- 28:09Speaker 1: on the text line. Everyone just is so ready to
- 28:12Speaker 1: try to.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Pounce on a mistake.
- 28:14Speaker 1: I know.
- 28:15Speaker 6: Why would they think we would make mistakes? Did Bone
- 28:17Speaker 6: make a mistake? Bone said raise. Bone said raise.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Yes. The Tampa Bay Rays home clubhouse attendant, Mr. Nick Bond.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Bond.
- 28:25Speaker 4: Nick.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Created a custom protective thumb glove for Baker Mayfield. They
- 28:31Speaker 1: went to their relationship with the baseball team for a glove,
- 28:34Speaker 1: and they made one for him. So, yes, I was
- 28:36Speaker 1: accurate there. Stand down, good sirs.
- 28:38Speaker 3: There you go, baby.
- 28:38Speaker 1: I've only made three mistakes today. That's not one of them.
- 28:41Speaker 6: They're in the World Series, and he's still got time
- 28:43Speaker 6: to try to help Baker Mayfield. That's a sign that
- 28:45Speaker 6: it's an emergency in Tampa.
- 28:46Speaker 3: It really is. It's all hands on deck in Tampa.
- 28:51Speaker 1: What if they messed up, but it's a big old
- 28:52Speaker 1: catcher's mitt he's got to use?
- 28:55Speaker 6: Chubba the Tub is right. Abuka concussion. There's a foot injury,
- 28:58Speaker 6: but the concussion protocol. is a big thing. No one
- 29:02Speaker 6: even knows when it happened in the game bone, but he, yeah,
- 29:04Speaker 6: he's in the protocol. So we'll see whether or not
- 29:07Speaker 6: those receivers even play chub of the tub. Shout out
- 29:10Speaker 6: to your app state boys. We opened the show with
- 29:12Speaker 6: your app state boys, getting a huge upset dub at
- 29:15Speaker 6: the rock last night over JMU. Um, uh, no, no, Mike,
- 29:20Speaker 6: this dude says, I'm going to break this game down
- 29:22Speaker 6: in one sentence. Mike Evans will not be in the
- 29:25Speaker 6: lineup to torture the Panthers.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:27Speaker 3: It's huge. It's just huge, man. It really is.
- 29:30Speaker 6: That guy has been a pain in the rear end.
- 29:33Speaker 3: C.J.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Henderson is still on assignment looking for him right now.
- 29:37Speaker 1: What he got away from a couple years ago.
- 29:38Speaker 3: I heard C.J.
- 29:39Speaker 6: Henderson is at the Falcons headquarters right now, where he
- 29:42Speaker 6: now plays, trying to figure out what is this logo
- 29:45Speaker 6: that we put out yesterday. Did you see that thing?
- 29:47Speaker 6: Why is there gold in a Falcons logo? What is
- 29:50Speaker 6: this thing all about? I was so confused. I have
- 29:52Speaker 6: no idea what was going on yesterday. I have no idea.
- 29:54Speaker 6: I like, I was like, is this a fake thing?
- 29:57Speaker 6: But no, it's a real, I think it's a specific
- 29:59Speaker 6: game thing.
- 30:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I saw it, but I didn't
- 30:04Speaker 3: know what it was for.
- 30:04Speaker 6: I heard yesterday it's something like for a specific game,
- 30:07Speaker 6: but why do you need gold in that bad boy?
- 30:10Speaker 3: I don't know. I was confused by the whole thing.
- 30:12Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Anyway, Falcons, do things that get you mocked. I'm not
- 30:15Speaker 1: going to complain about it.
- 30:17Speaker 6: All right, yesterday, Bone, was the coordinator's press conference day
- 30:22Speaker 6: for the Panthers, and that included— Well, why would it
- 30:26Speaker 6: not include? Of course it included Jiro Vera. I don't
- 30:29Speaker 6: know why I'm saying that. Like, that's a weird thing.
- 30:31Speaker 6: Jiro Vera was asked about a guy that I know
- 30:35Speaker 6: that you brought up, Bone, that we've brought up, but
- 30:38Speaker 6: I'm not sure we're talking about him enough. And that's
- 30:43Speaker 6: Zachy Wheatley, who played 52 snaps the other day, had
- 30:47Speaker 6: a huge fourth down pass breakup, and is just– become
- 30:50Speaker 6: a dude that is playing starter snaps already as a
- 30:54Speaker 6: fourth-round rookie for this team. And Avero talked about his
- 30:58Speaker 6: hot start.
- 31:00Speaker 2: We've had a lot of high hopes and excitement about
- 31:03Speaker 2: him really since he showed up, even before Sam, just
- 31:07Speaker 2: recruiting him out of Penn State. But when he got
- 31:10Speaker 2: on board, he was everything we thought. The athletic profile
- 31:13Speaker 2: is there. He's got the instincts. and he's really worked
- 31:17Speaker 2: tirelessly with Ronaldo and Coach Aaliyah Emine. Those guys have
- 31:22Speaker 2: done a great job just getting them up to speed.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Nick has been very influential with them as well. And so, yeah,
- 31:30Speaker 2: we knew it was only a matter of time before
- 31:32Speaker 2: he was going to be out there and giving us
- 31:33Speaker 2: productive snaps. And, you know, some of the things with
- 31:36Speaker 2: the injuries at corner certainly kind of changed some things
- 31:41Speaker 2: in our minds and has opened up some more opportunities
- 31:44Speaker 2: for him. But, yeah, he's done a great job.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Don't look now, Mac, but this 2026 class that Dan
- 31:50Speaker 1: Morgan has could be one of these where we say, wow,
- 31:53Speaker 1: that was a foundational draft for a lot of reasons.
- 31:56Speaker 1: You've got Will Lee. You've got Wheatley. Sam Hecht, we
- 31:59Speaker 1: haven't seen him yet, but we think, hey, this guy
- 32:01Speaker 1: might be the center of the future. We've got a
- 32:02Speaker 1: long way to go with Freeling, but I feel good
- 32:05Speaker 1: that he will be a foundational piece. Lee Hunter's in there.
- 32:07Speaker 1: That's just Aaron Hall. Undrafted guys contributing. Dan Hall, Dan
- 32:13Speaker 1: Morgan has a lot of pieces for the future in
- 32:16Speaker 1: in this draft class.
- 32:17Speaker 3: He does.
- 32:18Speaker 6: And you mentioned the other day last year as well.
- 32:19Speaker 6: Last year's draft class was good. I think we can
- 32:22Speaker 6: look at this now. I know the 2024 draft class
- 32:25Speaker 6: is one that you can definitely take shots at, and
- 32:27Speaker 6: it's warranted, but I do think we have to say
- 32:30Speaker 6: that one... was the old regime scouting department. Dan was
- 32:36Speaker 6: not able to put his own guys and make changes
- 32:38Speaker 6: until after that draft. Since then, it feels like the drafts,
- 32:42Speaker 6: to your point, Bone, have definitely picked up. So if
- 32:45Speaker 6: we're trying to analyze Dan's drafts fairly, I think that
- 32:48Speaker 6: point needs to be made. Also want to get you
- 32:51Speaker 6: a little bit of brat, Idzik here, Bone. Idzik yesterday,
- 32:56Speaker 6: the Panthers OC, was asked about Chuba Hubbard's yards after
- 32:59Speaker 6: contact numbers.
- 33:02Speaker 3: That have been going up throughout the season.
- 33:04Speaker 6: He's now up to eighth in the lead, according to PFF,
- 33:07Speaker 6: in yards after contact per rush. And Brad Idzik basically said, yeah,
- 33:13Speaker 6: that typifies who Chuba is.
- 33:16Speaker 4: That aligns with who Chuba is as a player, a person.
- 33:20Speaker 4: He's going to outwork you. He's going to outlast you.
- 33:23Speaker 4: He's going to out-prepare you. That goes all the way
- 33:26Speaker 4: back to the spring and how he prepares his body
- 33:29Speaker 4: and calluses it up for the season. And then it
- 33:32Speaker 4: carries right into game day where, as some people wear
- 33:35Speaker 4: down throughout the game, it feels like he gets stronger
- 33:38Speaker 4: because he's prepared for that. And then his mentality takes over.
- 33:43Speaker 4: When it's fourth and one and you watch him grind
- 33:46Speaker 4: out a 16, 17-yard run there and a crucial drive,
- 33:51Speaker 4: that's the embodiment of Chuba being a captain for our team.
- 33:55Speaker 4: We want to put all our chips in on the
- 34:00Speaker 4: players that represent our play style, and Chuba is certainly that.
- 34:04Speaker 4: As the games go and the moments become bigger, you
- 34:07Speaker 4: just lean into those guys who make those plays for you,
- 34:10Speaker 4: and Chuba's done a great job down the stretch being
- 34:12Speaker 4: that for us.
- 34:12Speaker 3: He's a beast, man.
- 34:14Speaker 1: He's such an inspirational guy from twofold. His work ethic
- 34:20Speaker 1: and how he leads and motivates the other guys, but
- 34:23Speaker 1: there's also, Mac, in-game inspiration because when a guy runs
- 34:26Speaker 1: that hard and is finishing the game that strong, that
- 34:29Speaker 1: fires up the offensive line. That fires up the receivers
- 34:32Speaker 1: that are blocking. Everyone gets fired up when a running
- 34:34Speaker 1: back is, I call him the Canadian chainsaw. I'm obviously
- 34:37Speaker 1: being facetious, but when he's hammering at the end of
- 34:39Speaker 1: the game, that is a, it's not only setting a tone,
- 34:43Speaker 1: it's a finishing tone for the game. And the team
- 34:46Speaker 1: rallies around that guy for so many reasons. And he's
- 34:50Speaker 1: going to have to get rugged yards. The bucks are
- 34:51Speaker 1: so good against the run. They ain't going to be
- 34:53Speaker 1: easy yards. He's going to have to bang, bang, bang,
- 34:56Speaker 1: bang it in there, man. A couple of things on
- 34:58Speaker 1: the text line.
- 34:59Speaker 6: The a lot of people trying to add some context
- 35:03Speaker 6: to this goofy Falcons logo.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Somebody said 50th anniversary. So they put the gold in there.
- 35:10Speaker 6: Multiple people bringing up that they have been shamed for
- 35:13Speaker 6: how this logo looks like a Nazi symbol. And apparently, yes,
- 35:16Speaker 6: apparently that was going on. So the Falcons may have fumbled,
- 35:20Speaker 6: may have fumbled yet again. And speaking of fumbling bone,
- 35:24Speaker 6: Jeff in Indian land tried to be a smart Alec
- 35:28Speaker 6: on the text line about our rough start to the
- 35:31Speaker 6: show with multiple mistakes. And then look what he did.
- 35:34Speaker 6: He's his tech says three mistakes in 30 minutes isn't
- 35:37Speaker 6: exactly solid word. And he had to text back and say, damn,
- 35:41Speaker 6: text the top.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Join the party. Get the mop out for old Jeffrey.
- 35:46Speaker 1: I also have an investigation ongoing. We have a first
- 35:49Speaker 1: time texter. I'm wondering if Tampa Tammy found our text
- 35:53Speaker 1: line number. Never before text her. Y'all are obsessing over
- 35:57Speaker 1: Baker this morning. It's good to see him living in
- 36:00Speaker 1: your head. Red free laughing face. Go bucks. Feels like
- 36:05Speaker 1: that possibly fit her persona. Feels like it. So we're
- 36:09Speaker 1: monitoring you. 704 number.
- 36:11Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. Isn't she on the clock right now?
- 36:15Speaker 3: That's how I get a start. She's on the clock,
- 36:16Speaker 3: but she puts herself in the window over here.
- 36:17Speaker 6: Fitty's going to go down there and report her to
- 36:19Speaker 6: WBTV bosses.
- 36:24Speaker 3: If the texts continue, Fitty, we can report her. All right,
- 36:27Speaker 3: we'll give her one.
- 36:28Speaker 1: When we come back, Mac and Bone shows Couch Potato Guide,
- 36:31Speaker 1: your guide to all the sports on TV all weekend long.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Sports Radio 92.7 WFND.
- 37:00Speaker 7: I would use the word edgy and I like it.
- 37:03Speaker 7: He's edgy right now. Um, and you know, I, I
- 37:07Speaker 7: think that, uh, somebody texts me today and that we
- 37:09Speaker 7: lost the aw shucks kid, you know, and we've created
- 37:14Speaker 7: something else. I don't know if we lost him. We
- 37:17Speaker 7: created this, you know, we did. All of us, y'all
- 37:20Speaker 7: included me, the whole.
- 37:22Speaker 8: Thing, right?
- 37:23Speaker 7: Everybody on ESPN, we've created this. And so we'll see
- 37:27Speaker 7: what comes out of it. But he's edgy right now.
- 37:29Speaker 7: And honestly, I appreciate that about him. At some point,
- 37:31Speaker 7: he's got to fight back. And the best way for
- 37:34Speaker 7: him to fight back is going out and playing really
- 37:35Speaker 7: good football with his teammates and enjoy playing football with
- 37:38Speaker 7: his teammates.
- 37:39Speaker 3: And so.
- 37:41Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to watching him compete Saturday night.
- 37:44Speaker 3: All right, there you go.
- 37:45Speaker 6: That is Steve Sarkeesian talking yesterday about Arch. It's edgy Arch.
- 37:51Speaker 6: It reminds me of when we had edgy Sam Darnold,
- 37:53Speaker 6: when he grew the beard here. Everyone off the streets. Austin,
- 38:00Speaker 6: be scared. Hide the women and children.
- 38:02Speaker 3: He may turn right without a turn signal.
- 38:04Speaker 1: So was he blaming the media for edgy Arch there?
- 38:07Speaker 3: Is that what was happening? I think so. He said,
- 38:09Speaker 3: we all created this. You created this.
- 38:11Speaker 6: ESPN created this. Actually, Cooper Manning created them. Don't blame
- 38:15Speaker 6: us for all this. That was kind of weird. It's like,
- 38:18Speaker 6: are you glad the media made him edgy?
- 38:22Speaker 3: Are you not? Because the media made him overhyped for
- 38:25Speaker 3: a while there. I believe.
- 38:26Speaker 6: Now I guess they feel, is he trying to say
- 38:28Speaker 6: the media is now turning on him and now he's
- 38:30Speaker 6: mad about it?
- 38:30Speaker 1: I believe lack of coaching may have also created this there, Sark.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Or maybe he is just not Peyton or Eli. Like,
- 38:36Speaker 1: that's possible, too.
- 38:38Speaker 3: Very possible. You know, like, that's the thing I keep
- 38:40Speaker 3: coming back to.
- 38:41Speaker 6: Just because you got the same last name, the same,
- 38:43Speaker 6: you know, same family, it doesn't mean you're necessarily going
- 38:47Speaker 6: to be as good as those guys, right?
- 38:49Speaker 3: Ask Bronny. Ask poor Bronny, man. I got the name
- 38:53Speaker 3: of a founding father. What am I doing with it? Nothing. Oh, man.
- 38:58Speaker 3: Uncle John, he's probably not proud of me down here.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Uncle John's not proud of you.
- 39:03Speaker 3: All right.
- 39:04Speaker 1: No one's saying, hey, put your Travis Hancock on this document.
- 39:07Speaker 6: Let's talk here about what's going on this weekend. Let's
- 39:11Speaker 6: get into the couch potato guide. And by the way,
- 39:15Speaker 6: Sart and his edgy quarterback have a huge game.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Against Ole Miss at home tomorrow night.
- 39:21Speaker 6: It's a 7.30 ABC game on Saturday night, which I'm
- 39:24Speaker 6: very interested in. Saturday night game is very interesting to me.
- 39:27Speaker 6: But let's start with Friday night. We got ourselves a
- 39:30Speaker 6: little local sports night tonight. We had a little local
- 39:32Speaker 6: sports with Atwin and ECU going to overtime last night.
- 39:35Speaker 3: But tonight we got Hornets, Hawks.
- 39:37Speaker 6: If you're not at the Hive, you can obviously watch
- 39:40Speaker 6: this game locally.
- 39:42Speaker 3: Is this WSOC or is this 64? I have to
- 39:46Speaker 3: look that one up here. I didn't have that.
- 39:47Speaker 1: I just had local on the guy. I'm kind of
- 39:48Speaker 1: curious about that. I'll check it out. I believe it's
- 39:51Speaker 1: the opener, so it might be SOC. Although a lot
- 39:53Speaker 1: of them are 64. Let me check, though.
- 39:57Speaker 3: ABC doesn't run step-by-step anymore on Friday nights. Hey, hey, hey.
- 40:00Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 40:01Speaker 6: You're not going to miss that if you put it
- 40:03Speaker 6: on SOC. Not over that yet, sir. Oh, the TGIF, baby.
- 40:07Speaker 3: All right, anyway. That's when life was simple.
- 40:08Speaker 6: Hornets Hawk, 7 o'clock on a local station to be
- 40:10Speaker 6: named here soon. Duke, Virginia. College football on ESPN. Both
- 40:16Speaker 6: teams need a win. uh in this one pretty badly
- 40:19Speaker 6: and then at 10 30 nc state at stanford tonight
- 40:23Speaker 6: state with duke scott bunch of old linemen out so
- 40:25Speaker 6: they're still the third time in 342.
- 40:26Speaker 3: Days that duke and virginia meet.
- 40:32Speaker 1: So in a world of college football where we don't
- 40:34Speaker 1: see some matchups a whole lot, it's on SOC tonight.
- 40:38Speaker 3: By the way.
- 40:38Speaker 1: SOC, all right, good call. So that is a rarity.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Three times, once last year, once in the championship, and
- 40:44Speaker 1: now again.
- 40:44Speaker 3: That's interesting.
- 40:46Speaker 6: That's part of the dynamic of the game is how
- 40:47Speaker 6: well these teams know each other, even though there's turnover, obviously,
- 40:51Speaker 6: from year to year. World Series game one tonight, 8
- 40:55Speaker 6: o'clock on Fox as well. Tomorrow night will be World
- 40:58Speaker 6: Series game two, 8 o'clock on Fox. Your Saturday of
- 41:02Speaker 6: college football. Noon games, eh, it's all right, it's all right. LSU-Auburn,
- 41:09Speaker 6: very interesting to me. Auburn at home trying to make
- 41:13Speaker 6: it two. ranked wins in a row after beating Georgia
- 41:16Speaker 6: last week. That's on ABC at noon. Pitt at Miami.
- 41:20Speaker 6: I fear this could get ugly for the old Pitt
- 41:23Speaker 6: Panthers with a backup QB. ESPN at noon. And a
- 41:27Speaker 6: game that suddenly means a lot to Bone. Indiana at
- 41:30Speaker 6: Michigan on Fox at noon. We have a texter named
- 41:34Speaker 6: Mazem Blue. who started the show today by talking about
- 41:39Speaker 6: Michigan will beat Indiana by 14 tomorrow.
- 41:43Speaker 3: I said bet on it. He said you're on.
- 41:46Speaker 1: We have a Bobo's bet for next Friday, a Bojangles
- 41:49Speaker 1: bet for the whole show. Okay, go Hoosiers. But here's
- 41:54Speaker 1: the old rubber root here. I have Indiana plus 14
- 41:57Speaker 1: in this game.
- 41:58Speaker 3: How the heck did you hoodwink this man into that?
- 42:01Speaker 1: So as we watch this game, just start thinking, we're
- 42:04Speaker 1: getting Bojangles next Friday.
- 42:05Speaker 3: Y'all got to check.
- 42:05Speaker 6: Before you start running or flapping them gums, you got
- 42:08Speaker 6: to check the point spread.
- 42:10Speaker 3: Like, you can't make deals like that. What's the real
- 42:12Speaker 3: point spread? Indiana by seven, right? So this dude gave
- 42:16Speaker 3: you 20.
- 42:17Speaker 6: There's a 21-point differential between the real point spread and
- 42:20Speaker 6: what this guy gave you.
- 42:22Speaker 3: Oh, my God. You drive a hard bargain, sir. Oh, man.
- 42:28Speaker 6: Anyway, 3.30 in the afternoon, Bone.
- 42:32Speaker 3: It's all right.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Indiana by 7.5. Yeah, so 21.5 point difference he gave you.
- 42:37Speaker 1: I'm going to be so concerned watching that. Tennessee, South Carolina,
- 42:41Speaker 1: 3.30 on ESPN. We're going to talk about this a
- 42:43Speaker 1: bunch today. This is a great matchup.
- 42:45Speaker 6: And I'm looking forward to seeing if the Vols can
- 42:47Speaker 6: pull off another big win.
- 42:49Speaker 3: It's going to be a West Durham vehicle. He comes
- 42:51Speaker 3: over from the ACC Network for this one.
- 42:53Speaker 6: I have a feeling Alabama is going to beat the
- 42:55Speaker 6: ever-living Brakes off of Texas A & M tomorrow on ABC.
- 43:00Speaker 6: They have to be angry after the last two weeks.
- 43:03Speaker 6: A & M is no good.
- 43:04Speaker 1: This just ends. I thought they'd be angry last week,
- 43:06Speaker 1: and they lost again. This week, though, I'm going to
- 43:08Speaker 1: double down. They're going to be double angry this week.
- 43:10Speaker 1: They're going to be very angry. BYU is now the
- 43:13Speaker 1: number two team in the country. They're playing UCF on
- 43:15Speaker 1: Fox at 3.30, and then you have Michigan State at UCLA, CBS.
- 43:21Speaker 1: It's not a great 3.30 window there, Bone Man.
- 43:24Speaker 3: A lot of I's.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Well.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Unless BYU has a drop-off. Unless they're struggling.
- 43:31Speaker 6: Then you get to the evening. Hornets heat tomorrow. It's
- 43:35Speaker 6: back-to-back home games. That is a game on 64. The
- 43:38Speaker 6: next string of games all on 64. Bone knew what
- 43:41Speaker 6: question I was at. Bone was ready, man. Hurricanes and
- 43:45Speaker 6: the Blues tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. Then you get
- 43:49Speaker 6: into the college football nighttime. And I like some of
- 43:51Speaker 6: these matchups. Virginia Tech-Clemson is so intriguing to me. ESPN
- 43:56Speaker 6: at 7 o'clock from Death Valley. I have a nugget
- 43:58Speaker 6: on that game. That's very intriguing.
- 44:01Speaker 1: I saw there's a guy on Twitter.
- 44:05Speaker 3: I'll shout him out next week. I forgot what his
- 44:08Speaker 3: actual handle was.
- 44:09Speaker 1: He does, like, informational matchup-based stuff, little nuggets. Virginia Tech
- 44:14Speaker 1: has not played at Clemson. Since 2012. Freaking wild, man,
- 44:19Speaker 1: when you told me that. Been in the same conference
- 44:22Speaker 1: for 22 years.
- 44:22Speaker 3: That's crazy.
- 44:23Speaker 1: But they have not played there in the last 14 years.
- 44:25Speaker 1: That's crazy, man. I can't wait to watch that one.
- 44:28Speaker 1: I already said I can't wait to watch Ole Miss,
- 44:30Speaker 1: Texas on ABC at 730.
- 44:32Speaker 6: How about Heels and the Qs? Heels around a touchdown
- 44:37Speaker 6: favorite at home. ACC Network, 730. You got Vanderbilt, Kentucky,
- 44:41Speaker 6: SEC Network. You got USC, Wisconsin on NBC. You've got,
- 44:46Speaker 6: how about this rank matchup at 1015, Houston at Utah
- 44:49Speaker 6: tomorrow night.
- 44:50Speaker 1: That's the game day game, right? They went to the
- 44:51Speaker 1: state of Utah for the second straight week. Yeah, this
- 44:53Speaker 1: one might be a little more wild than BYU was though.
- 44:56Speaker 1: The atmosphere, there could be a little more drinks being
- 44:59Speaker 1: tossed back there. I will say the BYU crowd was
- 45:02Speaker 1: pretty damn good.
- 45:03Speaker 3: No, it was. It was, but just being in terms
- 45:04Speaker 3: of rowdiness, I think Utah's— You think so?
- 45:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 45:06Speaker 3: Although, don't they have a bunch of Mormons that shouldn't
- 45:08Speaker 3: be drinking there, too? I didn't say they're LSU here.
- 45:11Speaker 3: But they don't be— Corn dogs would be out, though?
- 45:15Speaker 1: We got a mean text about Phinney. Should I just
- 45:17Speaker 1: be above it, or do I have to read it?
- 45:19Speaker 1: What's the legal stuff here about this? I think you're
- 45:21Speaker 1: obligated to read it. I just read the rules here.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Someone asked, who does Phinney root for when Syracuse plays UNC?
- 45:27Speaker 1: Because you root for the heels, but you're shaped like Otto.
- 45:29Speaker 3: Oh, my God. People, please.
- 45:33Speaker 6: What are you smiling at over there? I tried to
- 45:37Speaker 6: act like I was upset. Dude got called Otto. Can
- 45:40Speaker 6: you spin yourself around like Otto? That should be a
- 45:43Speaker 6: Halloween costume fit. That would be good.
- 45:46Speaker 1: Sidney, I want you to know, I didn't want to
- 45:48Speaker 1: read it. Mac made me read that.
- 45:50Speaker 3: I did.
- 45:50Speaker 6: I told you it was in the bylaws. I do
- 45:52Speaker 6: want to mention Charlotte FC late night tomorrow night. Late
- 45:56Speaker 6: night Willie tomorrow night. Charlotte FC, 10.30 here on the station.
- 46:00Speaker 6: 10 o'clock pregame. FC on the road against Portland. Get
- 46:05Speaker 6: us three points, y'all. And then on Sunday, you know
- 46:07Speaker 6: you got the Panthers, by the way. KB and I
- 46:09Speaker 6: at the doghouse. 10 o'clock start with countdown to kickoff.
- 46:13Speaker 6: But you've got Duke and Kansas. Hell of an exhibition game.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Oh.
- 46:19Speaker 3: Earmuffs to my.
- 46:19Speaker 1: Guy on Twitter, jmoy91495795 does not want to hear that
- 46:25Speaker 1: Duke plays basketball in October.
- 46:27Speaker 3: So earmuffs, jmoy. Earmuffs. That's at 1 o'clock on ESPN.
- 46:32Speaker 6: Coward. And 2 p.m., NASCAR at Talladega. I kind of
- 46:39Speaker 6: almost feel like this could settle. Like if Bell or
- 46:45Speaker 6: Larson get caught up, in a big one and finish
- 46:50Speaker 6: like 35th or something. I mean, this could settle the
- 46:53Speaker 6: championship just based off crap luck.
- 46:56Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely, you're right.
- 46:57Speaker 5: I thought going into last week, this was Larson's championship
- 47:00Speaker 5: to lose really strong at Phoenix. He had a bad point,
- 47:03Speaker 5: stay bell back, just five points behind really the top
- 47:07Speaker 5: four drivers. There's really a battle for between those top four.
- 47:11Speaker 5: And we're at the most, uh, the most unconventional track
- 47:14Speaker 5: in the chase. So, I do think we'll have a
- 47:16Speaker 5: really good feeling coming out of this race on Sunday
- 47:18Speaker 5: who may be the favorite as with two races to go.
- 47:20Speaker 6: If one of the two gets into a big one,
- 47:23Speaker 6: that could decide it. But, yeah, getting a little too
- 47:26Speaker 6: close for comfort for me. It's a five-car, man.
- 47:29Speaker 3: It is. That is the couch potato guy. We come back.
- 47:32Speaker 1: What matchups do we love versus the Bucs on Sunday?
- 47:35Speaker 1: And which ones scare us? Sports Radio 92.7.
