0:46
Speaker 1: It is Mac and Bone Radio showtime. Here on a
0:49
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, it is time to do this dang thing.
0:53
Speaker 1: We are two days away from the Carolina Panthers beginning
0:56
Speaker 1: their twenty twenty sixth season with the Hall of Fame game,
0:59
Speaker 1: and day Canalis told us what to expect to starting
1:03
Speaker 1: a quarterback. What the details will be, I guess not
1:06
Speaker 1: the details, but a general idea of what to expect
1:09
Speaker 1: as far as playing time. We'll talk about that. Panthers
1:12
Speaker 1: actually getting healthier. That was a nice development yesterday. Our
1:17
Speaker 1: week one opponent with an injury that will affect them
1:20
Speaker 1: for the game. That's the Bears, by the way, for
1:23
Speaker 1: people that don't know. And we've got much much more
1:26
Speaker 1: to talk about. Major League Baseball trade deadline. Charlotte FC
1:29
Speaker 1: playing tonight in their league's cup opener, and all kinds
1:33
Speaker 1: of other things. Bran Tillis some very interesting comments about Bryce.
1:38
Speaker 1: So we got things happening here. Trey Wingo will join
1:41
Speaker 1: us today on the show at nine to twenty five,
1:43
Speaker 1: so we got a lot of football happening, and what
1:46
Speaker 1: the bleep at seven twenty five, we got some stories
1:49
Speaker 1: we can laugh at on today's radio show. So we've
1:52
Speaker 1: got the bone Man in the house, the fit dog
1:56
Speaker 1: in the house. Fitty and I are hat twins today. Bone,
1:59
Speaker 1: did you not get that memo we sent you man
2:01
Speaker 1: about our brand new Danny Claus gift? Now I did not.
2:06
Speaker 1: I did not get the memo. But football is here. Uh.
2:09
Speaker 1: Even if it's going to rain today outside, it means
2:11
Speaker 1: it is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. It's a
2:16
Speaker 1: beautiful day, but it's a beautiful day for a neighbor.
2:19
Speaker 1: Would you be mine? I don't know why I'm going
2:21
Speaker 1: complete front on the ear, but I just did that.
2:24
Speaker 1: Mister mcpheely's at the door if anybody wants to go
2:27
Speaker 1: see him. By the way, that name, that name could
2:30
Speaker 1: not exist on a children's show in twenty twenty six.
2:33
Speaker 1: Could it, mister mcpheey, no, like it did on the
2:37
Speaker 1: Mister Rogers the Netflix versions, mister mcpheel mey oh no,
2:42
Speaker 1: you know, watch out your own peril. Yeah, that is
2:47
Speaker 1: not a lot to go too deep into this, but
2:48
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of thoughts on the mcpheely Rogers
2:51
Speaker 1: relationship here at some point, maybe during the next July
2:55
Speaker 1: next to why I've got a lot. Okay, yeah, let's
2:57
Speaker 1: start saving stuff for next to mister mc feely a
3:02
Speaker 1: little bit. Sometimes. I always told you I don't like
3:06
Speaker 1: those Wiggles guys, you know what I mean. I never
3:08
Speaker 1: had a good feeling about those Wiggles characters. And by
3:11
Speaker 1: the way, apparently they're in Charlotte soon. But anyway, we
3:14
Speaker 1: digress football a lot of digression. This show should be
3:18
Speaker 1: Digression Central. It should be the name of this damn show.
3:22
Speaker 1: Or but anyway, let's yeah, let's start it off with
3:25
Speaker 1: the Panthers stuff from yesterday. The we were all holding
3:30
Speaker 1: our breath, bone, would Bryce Young start in the Hall
3:33
Speaker 1: of Fame game? No, Kenny Pickett is starting in the
3:36
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. Apparently he did not listen Bone
3:39
Speaker 1: to our Texters yesterday that were imploring Dave Canalis to
3:44
Speaker 1: give Bryce Young time he needs time in the Hall
3:47
Speaker 1: of Fame game. No one of note really ever seems
3:50
Speaker 1: to get time in the Hall of Fame game anymore. Well,
3:52
Speaker 1: the Bryce haters wanted to see him play so they
3:54
Speaker 1: could criticize him. Is that what you think it was?
3:57
Speaker 1: Or if he played well, they would say, well, he's
4:00
Speaker 1: get seven stringers from the Cardinals. That's that's what the
4:04
Speaker 1: hater coalition wanted. Well, they will not get their wish.
4:06
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett will start, and obviously they only have two quarterbacks,
4:11
Speaker 1: so it's the Picket and Haines King show. On Thursday night.
4:15
Speaker 1: Dave Canalis also said essentially starters won't play, but he
4:20
Speaker 1: did say guys that you know are kind of battling
4:23
Speaker 1: for starting jobs will probably get out there a little bit.
4:28
Speaker 1: So no real surprise their bone man they've I mean,
4:31
Speaker 1: I don't even think I think most people would probably
4:34
Speaker 1: agree you don't even need three preseason games. I mean,
4:37
Speaker 1: how much do starters play bone across the league in
4:40
Speaker 1: any of these preseason games. So and I would say
4:44
Speaker 1: I'd like to see the stars play, maybe a little
4:46
Speaker 1: more than Dave has usually done it. But this bonus
4:49
Speaker 1: fourth game. We know what the Hall of Fame game is.
4:53
Speaker 1: Fitty said it yesterday. We all get excited about it
4:57
Speaker 1: around the country and then we tune in and real life,
5:00
Speaker 1: we don't know any of these players. Now. It would
5:02
Speaker 1: be different for us because it still is the Panthers playing,
5:05
Speaker 1: but like, I'm not expecting bone the entire country to
5:09
Speaker 1: be locked in for the Haines King Show, you know
5:12
Speaker 1: around eleven o'clock on Thursday night. There's a lot of
5:15
Speaker 1: hype always around this game because it is a game.
5:18
Speaker 1: It is football on TV, but it's about the celebration
5:22
Speaker 1: of the the Hall of Famers going in. There'll be
5:25
Speaker 1: a lot of talking to Breeze Fitzgerald and to Terry Luke.
5:27
Speaker 1: There'll be a lot of highlights, a lot of booth
5:30
Speaker 1: visits from from guys like that. So a lot of times,
5:33
Speaker 1: even if the Panthers are playing back, it's it's collins Worth,
5:35
Speaker 1: It's to Rico. It's the pomp and circumstance of what
5:38
Speaker 1: feels like a big game, but the actual on field
5:41
Speaker 1: product we kind of weaned away from a little bit
5:43
Speaker 1: of our eyes. It's kind of like, oh yeah, well
5:46
Speaker 1: football's back. Maybe Football's back. Now. Football will be really
5:51
Speaker 1: back pretty soon. But this isn't really football, Yeah, but
5:55
Speaker 1: I am looking forward to just I mean, you can
5:57
Speaker 1: put Bone Fitty Willie P in Panthers uniforms and I'll watch.
6:02
Speaker 1: Willie P wouldn't play in this game. He'd be one
6:05
Speaker 1: of our starters.
6:06
Speaker 2: Guys.
6:06
Speaker 1: You'd have to sit the elite edge rusher out. You
6:09
Speaker 1: know what I mean. He's wearing a ball cap. You
6:10
Speaker 1: got to sit the elite edge rusher out. We already
6:12
Speaker 1: lost scorting. We can't lose another elite ed rusher if
6:16
Speaker 1: Willie P was a Panther player. But yes, if it's
6:19
Speaker 1: any other teams in the league playing Bone. I got
6:21
Speaker 1: about a quarter and a half in me with the
6:24
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game. You know, we did get more
6:27
Speaker 1: about everything else going on around the game. We did
6:30
Speaker 1: get finally some injury news. That's good. Yesterday four guys
6:36
Speaker 1: come back from injury yesterday. So it's starting to happen,
6:40
Speaker 1: all right, We're starting to get some guys back. I
6:43
Speaker 1: think a lot of what's going on Bone in some
6:45
Speaker 1: of these instances are coach Canlison company know it's a
6:49
Speaker 1: very long camp, it's an extra long camp and there's
6:52
Speaker 1: no need. There's there's no need, you know what I
6:54
Speaker 1: mean to put somebody out there if maybe if they
6:57
Speaker 1: even have a hangnail like I think. I think in
6:59
Speaker 1: Genuneral Canalis and the staff have been with injuries this
7:03
Speaker 1: time of year have been pretty you know, cautious. Yeah,
7:07
Speaker 1: and so I think a lot of that's been going on.
7:10
Speaker 1: But they did get Robert Hunt back yesterday at practice.
7:13
Speaker 1: They did get Bobby Brown back in practice, uh, and
7:18
Speaker 1: then a couple of tight ends. Mitchell Evans is back
7:22
Speaker 1: and Tommy Tremble. Trumble only missed the one practice the
7:24
Speaker 1: fan theest practice they did. Didn't get Damian Lewis back yet,
7:28
Speaker 1: he's still out with the calf strain. And they did
7:31
Speaker 1: Lucidique Charles, who has been playing apparently pretty well over
7:35
Speaker 1: there bone with the ones in Damian Lewis's place. But
7:39
Speaker 1: that was a finally a positive day bone. But I
7:44
Speaker 1: don't know if we've had a day yet where more
7:46
Speaker 1: come back than leave. Well, we talk about injuries coming
7:50
Speaker 1: in ways, Well, how about all the guys that came
7:52
Speaker 1: back in one wave. Also, that was a house a
7:55
Speaker 1: whole lot of guys in one day. Happy they're back,
7:58
Speaker 1: but that was a lot of returns. That's good news
8:01
Speaker 1: that one time aster. I like it, Man, I like it,
8:03
Speaker 1: bone Man. Yesterday was a seemed like it was a
8:07
Speaker 1: fun practice. Yesterday you had t Mac making multiple one
8:10
Speaker 1: handed catches, including one that ended practice right on top
8:13
Speaker 1: of Will Lee to rookie, Will Lee had a few
8:16
Speaker 1: pass breakups in his own right one on ones. The
8:19
Speaker 1: media did a great job yesterday putting out the videos
8:22
Speaker 1: of the one on ones. Cam Jackson put my man
8:26
Speaker 1: hect Sam hect on skates. I don't know if you said,
8:29
Speaker 1: do you see that high like clip? Yeah, Oh my god,
8:33
Speaker 1: that's gracious. Cam Jackson may need to be a guy.
8:36
Speaker 1: We have some conversations about We've talked about how big
8:39
Speaker 1: he is. Later on in the show, we're going to
8:42
Speaker 1: go through the depth chart and where he is right now.
8:44
Speaker 1: But but Cam, Cam Jackson is a is a present
8:48
Speaker 1: and we have not really talked a lot about him
8:51
Speaker 1: and making that leap this year. But man, oh man,
8:53
Speaker 1: he's he's there's something going on here with this guy.
8:54
Speaker 1: I will spoil it. Cam Jackson is is with the start.
9:00
Speaker 1: He's ahead of Lee Hunter again. I think we found
9:03
Speaker 1: out in the pass boat sometimes it's depth chart doesn't
9:06
Speaker 1: necessarily meet a ton when you get to week one,
9:09
Speaker 1: but it is notable. It's the two Browns and it's
9:12
Speaker 1: Cam Jackson's the meat in the middle of the Browns's
9:17
Speaker 1: just on. That's just an odd thing I said. I mean, strictly,
9:20
Speaker 1: you know what I meant. But I just said it.
9:24
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, I just said it. I didn't really,
9:27
Speaker 1: I really didn't, honestly, I just kind of said it,
9:30
Speaker 1: and then it just sounded weird. Forgive me, Bom, all right,
9:33
Speaker 1: for forgiving me. But anyway, a sandwich. But anyway, Yeah,
9:40
Speaker 1: the depth charts out there. We'll talk about that later
9:42
Speaker 1: on the show. We're setting the table right now, kids,
9:44
Speaker 1: all right, we can't. We can't blow everything out there
9:46
Speaker 1: right away, all right. We got to just kind of
9:48
Speaker 1: work our way in. But brown sandwich apparently needed to
9:51
Speaker 1: be out there. In the first segment of the show,
9:54
Speaker 1: we did tease this at the top. Uh. So we
9:57
Speaker 1: play the Bears obviously in week one the Bears now
10:01
Speaker 1: and I was talking to somebody about this the other day.
10:04
Speaker 1: You're starting to realize now other teams will have injuries,
10:08
Speaker 1: and not just the Panthers like we got into camp
10:10
Speaker 1: and it's just us and the Cardinals, and nobody pays
10:13
Speaker 1: attention to Cardinals, so no one even knows what's going
10:15
Speaker 1: on their bone. But it felt like the Panthers were
10:18
Speaker 1: literally the only team having serious injuries. Now we're starting
10:22
Speaker 1: to realize, oh, other teams are in camp and they're
10:24
Speaker 1: gonna have serious injuries too. So it's the Chicago Bears.
10:29
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, one of their big off season signings in
10:32
Speaker 1: their secondary safety. He had a knee injury yesterday that's
10:36
Speaker 1: going to cost him. At seeing it sounds like two
10:38
Speaker 1: to three months, essentially eight to twelve weeks, so he
10:41
Speaker 1: will miss the opener. Again. I don't say this bone
10:44
Speaker 1: to celebrate injuries of an opponent, but just to state
10:48
Speaker 1: you're going to start to see this. I feel like,
10:50
Speaker 1: and I'm right there front and center because I'm the
10:53
Speaker 1: one that you know, downgraded the victory total and before
10:57
Speaker 1: we barely had a practice right because of a couple
10:59
Speaker 1: of injuries. But like I think we all need to
11:02
Speaker 1: remind ourselves the teams we play will have hurt guys too. Yes,
11:05
Speaker 1: Saints loss Brian Brazzie for the season. Also with the
11:09
Speaker 1: with the knee injury, and it's notable for the Bears
11:11
Speaker 1: because they have the potential to have a very good secondary.
11:15
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson, they drafted theeneman, they signed Kobe Bryant, They've
11:19
Speaker 1: got Tyreek Stevenson, They've got Kyler Gordon. And I bring
11:21
Speaker 1: up Kyler Gordon because he's also on the PLoP list
11:24
Speaker 1: right now back as their nickelback, and they are not
11:26
Speaker 1: happy with him and all his injuries. So they have
11:30
Speaker 1: some secondary issues going on right now. Early in training
11:33
Speaker 1: camp for the Bears. Yeah, and last year, I feel
11:38
Speaker 1: like Bone they set out to improve that right That
11:41
Speaker 1: defense last year was twenty ninth in the league. Legue
11:43
Speaker 1: did the safeties, they drafted theenoman, and they signed Kobe Bryant,
11:46
Speaker 1: and that was their their big splash area. They went
11:50
Speaker 1: out to definitely try to improve that. But they will
11:52
Speaker 1: not have Bryant in the game against Carolina. They were
11:55
Speaker 1: twenty ninth in sack percentage two last year, so they
11:58
Speaker 1: didn't really rush the past or as well. Spoiler alert.
12:03
Speaker 1: I think Bryce can have some success. It gets the
12:05
Speaker 1: Bears already just a little Week one teas there, Bony,
12:08
Speaker 1: I think just a little Week one teams. What are
12:10
Speaker 1: we about well five weeks away, right, five weeks that
12:15
Speaker 1: would require me to do on fly math in the
12:17
Speaker 1: six am al first September September about five weeks away,
12:21
Speaker 1: are we or are we like just under six? Are
12:27
Speaker 1: we just under six weeks away? I feel like, what's
12:29
Speaker 1: the date of the first game? Thirteenth is September fourteenth?
12:34
Speaker 1: Is it a little later this year? Okay? Maybe because
12:36
Speaker 1: week one in college football bone is like September fifth
12:39
Speaker 1: or sixth or something like that, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
12:42
Speaker 1: that's a week. This past weekend was four weeks to
12:45
Speaker 1: two weeks zero. Yeah. I was just thinking labor days
12:48
Speaker 1: usually college football when they okay, yeah, I got we
12:50
Speaker 1: got four weeks. This past weekend was four weeks to
12:52
Speaker 1: week zero was September thirteenth. It was five weeks to
12:55
Speaker 1: week one, and it was six weeks to the NFL,
12:57
Speaker 1: So it's not as close as you would think. We've
13:00
Speaker 1: been in camp for almost two weeks. You kind of
13:03
Speaker 1: think we were a little close to just one. I
13:08
Speaker 1: didn't know. I didn't mean to ruin everybody's day. Everybody
13:11
Speaker 1: probably thought it was near four weeks away. Braves fans,
13:16
Speaker 1: you can't like what you did at the trade deadline.
13:18
Speaker 1: Can you, I mean you you talk aboon by the
13:21
Speaker 1: response I saw yesterday, not in the least, and they shouldn't.
13:24
Speaker 1: And they shouldn't. There were a ton of starting pitchers
13:27
Speaker 1: that were being traded and were on the market, and
13:31
Speaker 1: for there for the starting picture for them to get
13:36
Speaker 1: a dude named Tyler Malley. I think I finally figured
13:40
Speaker 1: out how to say his name. And that's the one
13:43
Speaker 1: starter that you get. They added Brent Suitor yesterday, or
13:48
Speaker 1: a left handed reliever to go with Bailey Fulter. Another
13:53
Speaker 1: reliever you know, out of the bullpen. Lane Thomas is
13:57
Speaker 1: an outfielder that will be a part time player that
13:59
Speaker 1: they acquire. They also acquired his dude, Uberstein, that is
14:03
Speaker 1: young and has only pitched one game for the Red
14:07
Speaker 1: Sox this year. I think he's more of like a prospect. Yeah,
14:10
Speaker 1: and then you see what the Dodgers did, and you
14:13
Speaker 1: see many other teams active. Yeah, if you're a Braves fan,
14:16
Speaker 1: you can't be happy about that at all. Man. No,
14:19
Speaker 1: there were so many guys also that were not traded.
14:22
Speaker 1: I saw the list yesterday of the George Kirbys of
14:24
Speaker 1: the world. There was a lot of guys that were
14:26
Speaker 1: not traded. One interesting thing that did happen yesterday that
14:30
Speaker 1: may have involved the Braves. They were getting linked to
14:33
Speaker 1: Jacob de Grom from Texas in the afternoon, and then
14:37
Speaker 1: Jacob deGrom would not wave his no trade clause a
14:39
Speaker 1: little bit later on. So I do wonder did he
14:42
Speaker 1: for whatever reason that he had, did he wave a
14:44
Speaker 1: no trade to the Braves. Were they working on that
14:47
Speaker 1: as a move maybe because that was a team that
14:49
Speaker 1: was linked to him, then he decided he didn't want
14:51
Speaker 1: to be traded. Yeah, I mean that's possible. That's definitely possible.
14:57
Speaker 1: I get the feeling bone you were watching more MLB
14:59
Speaker 1: New Work Trade coverage than I was, because your Yankees
15:04
Speaker 1: are adding to I would I would sob incessantly if
15:09
Speaker 1: I watched MLB Trade Network covered yesterday. As an oriole state,
15:13
Speaker 1: I only sobbed when the Yankees actually played last night,
15:15
Speaker 1: not during the day. You happened to them last night. No, No,
15:18
Speaker 1: I've got my own sorrows. I'm not. I wasn't really
15:21
Speaker 1: worried about anybody else my sorrows. Yankees were down six,
15:25
Speaker 1: nothing came back seven to stakes our new guy Homeward,
15:27
Speaker 1: and it looked like it was going to be a
15:29
Speaker 1: joyous night in the Bronx. Then the bullpen guy came
15:31
Speaker 1: in and gave up the next seven runs in a row.
15:34
Speaker 1: We lost thirteen to seven. That's a shame. That's a shame. Man.
15:37
Speaker 1: It was city, and I feel terrible for you. So
15:39
Speaker 1: it's not all peaches and cream in the Bronx right now.
15:42
Speaker 1: You got more peaches than I got. Are you kidding me?
15:44
Speaker 1: We got cream late. I mean what I would get
15:48
Speaker 1: to peaches and cream? Reference what I would my god,
15:52
Speaker 1: what I would give to be in your situation right now?
15:55
Speaker 1: The Orioles Bone, how fast did there a vaunted rebuild
15:59
Speaker 1: where they were supposed to be the next Astros, the
16:01
Speaker 1: next Cubs. How quickly did that thing fail? Trading Adlie
16:05
Speaker 1: Rushvelle so quick by the way, they got three good
16:07
Speaker 1: prospects to good arms like it was probably a good
16:10
Speaker 1: trade in a vacuum, but they basically just signal yeah,
16:13
Speaker 1: that rebuild completely failed to four years to the day
16:17
Speaker 1: of when the Orioles GM said it's time for liftoff,
16:21
Speaker 1: lift off, we crash. This thing didn't win one playoff game.
16:24
Speaker 1: So anyway, pardon me, Bone if I don't want to
16:27
Speaker 1: hear about your woes. If I want to just sit
16:29
Speaker 1: here and cry my own little sad song. All right,
16:33
Speaker 1: I just said, I just said they lost the game
16:36
Speaker 1: last night. Did you see Mac the tweet that was
16:38
Speaker 1: going around last night of what Jeff past This Orioles
16:41
Speaker 1: thing unraveled so fast? Did you see the tweet from
16:44
Speaker 1: Jeff Pass and when they got Pete Wanzo about how
16:47
Speaker 1: they have this murderer's row wine up and they have
16:49
Speaker 1: one of the best line ups in all of baseball.
16:51
Speaker 1: The Orioles are voaded for the future. That was in December.
16:55
Speaker 1: It was going through guy for guy. How woaded up
16:57
Speaker 1: the Orioles are. I can't believe. I'm not I'm not
17:00
Speaker 1: on you. I'm just saying I cannot believe how loaded
17:03
Speaker 1: up they were a year, a year and a half
17:05
Speaker 1: ago to where they are now. It's insane, how fast
17:08
Speaker 1: on the raffles they had like a year and a
17:09
Speaker 1: half stretch where they were the best record in baseball,
17:13
Speaker 1: and since then it's been a complete bleep show. It's
17:16
Speaker 1: been horrible. So pardon me, Bone if it don't feel
17:19
Speaker 1: bad for you the Yankees loss. But she just said
17:23
Speaker 1: they lost the game. I just said the Yankees lost
17:26
Speaker 1: that's all I said. But you was doing You've been
17:28
Speaker 1: doing this thing. Bone, woe is me, and you're sitting
17:32
Speaker 1: in here with me and Fiddy here got reasons to
17:36
Speaker 1: be baseball miserable, and you do this thing. There are
17:39
Speaker 1: times in your nice house. I just said, they lost
17:42
Speaker 1: the game last night, I really hate you. Something like
17:46
Speaker 1: yesterday may be miserable. Did you see baseballday? He tried
17:52
Speaker 1: to bate us in to complaining about the Dodgers, and
17:55
Speaker 1: I took the high road because if I even mentioned
17:58
Speaker 1: the Yankees in any sense, this is what happens. This
18:02
Speaker 1: is what the guy does. So if I complained about
18:04
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, he would tell me I'm a Yankees fan.
18:06
Speaker 1: This is why I just shut up about him all
18:08
Speaker 1: I said. No, it's not about today. I just said,
18:11
Speaker 1: it's about your tone over the last like forty days,
18:14
Speaker 1: when you don't look around and realize what kind of
18:17
Speaker 1: baseball misery is sitting around you. You know what I mean.
18:21
Speaker 1: I give my left stone to give my left stone
18:24
Speaker 1: to be in your situation, I just well, then don't
18:27
Speaker 1: certainly don't bring up how horrible it is to be
18:31
Speaker 1: that they've lost in crazy fashions I'm talking about the

18:45
Speaker 1: to somebody? Okay, didn't you learn that? Did Mama Hancock

Speaker 1: not teach you that? Find a new way to tell
18:51
Speaker 1: me to be quiet? Hut shot? Does he not?
18:59
Speaker 3: Yeah?

19:01
Speaker 1: fitting like it's uy, Fitty. I don't mention the Yankees.

Speaker 1: I won't ever. I won't ever again as long as

19:25
Speaker 2: I have other reasons in my life. Wise, show up
19:27
Speaker 2: into this building miserable every single day.

19:31
Speaker 1: But no, I mean you afraid Bone will attack you
19:34
Speaker 1: if you get involved.
19:35
Speaker 2: I'm not Bone at all. But I mean I can
19:37
Speaker 2: see where he's coming from. He's a He's a fan
19:40
Speaker 2: of the team. That's got the most championship in pro sports.
19:42
Speaker 2: They haven't won a championship.
19:45
Speaker 1: I went to you. I don't want to hear the
19:46
Speaker 1: resid Oh you were going to rag on him? Go ahead,
19:51
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you were working your way up to the
19:53
Speaker 1: negative side of the Yankees. Go ahead, I really, I mean, I.
19:57
Speaker 2: See where he's coming from, Like, yeah, it does a
20:00
Speaker 2: maybe come from a place of entitlement. Sure, but that's
20:03
Speaker 2: Yankee fans. They have a right to be entirely one
20:06
Speaker 2: twenty seven up.
20:08
Speaker 1: You know what? You shut up? I'm saying bones, were
20:10
Speaker 1: you when we teach those get out of here with
20:15
Speaker 1: the entitlement Yankees?

Speaker 1: ever again. Ain't ever going you ever again. You don't
20:22
Speaker 1: ever help anything. Seriously, I'm never talking again on the show.

Speaker 1: I'm never getting into dispute and going to you because
20:28
Speaker 1: you're afraid of Bone. I am not afraid of You're
20:31
Speaker 1: afraid Bone's gonna unleash the terror of a puppy on
20:33
Speaker 1: your gentlemen. It's Tuesday back, you stand back. I'm miserable.
20:40
Speaker 1: I could listen Orioles fans should be miserable, like this
20:45
Speaker 1: is just if you're an Orioles fan. Absolutely, have you
20:48
Speaker 1: seen what's happening? We were supposed to be the it kids,
20:51
Speaker 1: and this has turned into the well you know what, kids,
20:53
Speaker 1: it's a joke. So pardon me if I didn't want
20:56
Speaker 1: to hear bone tell me how horrible it is to
20:58
Speaker 1: be a Yankee fan. That's what that's the words you
21:00
Speaker 1: want to hear it, that's the words I use. I said,
21:04
Speaker 1: did you see what happened? They lost in crazy fashion
21:07
Speaker 1: last night, just as they did? Can we deal with them?
21:10
Speaker 1: All I mentioned was the result of last night's game,
21:12
Speaker 1: That's all I said. Just deal. Let me deal with
21:14
Speaker 1: my missing God trying to throw your own misery into
21:17
Speaker 1: my misery. All right, she's.
21:21
Speaker 2: The great great point here, by the way, Max, let's
21:24
Speaker 2: you said, yessha, we were talking about baseball because it's
21:26
Speaker 2: f and football.
21:27
Speaker 1: Sea and now it really is. John after that trade
21:30
Speaker 1: deadline from my birdies and the Braves didn't do a
21:32
Speaker 1: dang thing worth the crap, it is definitely football season.
21:36
Speaker 1: All right, there we go. I feel better, now Bow,
21:38
Speaker 1: and I hope you do send it to break. I'm
21:40
Speaker 1: not talking on strike boat. I'm not talking to you.
21:44
Speaker 1: Are to take your ball and go home sort of cat.
21:46
Speaker 1: Aren't you you do that in the neighborhood. Why did
21:49
Speaker 1: you wake up today and think to myself, I have
21:51
Speaker 1: two options. Nice guy, your ass, I'm gonna go ass.
21:54
Speaker 1: I needed more consoling, That's what I needed.
21:58
Speaker 4: Man.
21:58
Speaker 1: Anyway, I didn't even get to the point where I said,
22:00
Speaker 1: you also got the Red Sox through their top five
22:02
Speaker 1: prospects yesterday when we mentioned that, I didn't mention that.
22:04
Speaker 1: But no, outside you were crying when he said ordeals.
22:08
Speaker 1: Fans don't want to hear that, all right, any you
22:10
Speaker 1: want to hear you when we Oh god, it's harmony
22:15
Speaker 1: in the morning, y'all, it's bone, it's bone, thugs and harmony.
22:18
Speaker 1: Because I wasn't. I wasn't wanting any of this today.
22:20
Speaker 1: I just want to talk. I just want to talk
22:22
Speaker 1: like gentlemen. Well, let's talk about the Panthers. Let's talk
22:24
Speaker 1: about shared interests, shall we. I think that will go better.
22:27
Speaker 1: More on their practice yesterday, Bran tillis very interesting comments
22:33
Speaker 1: about Bryce Young's contract and princely declares that he is
22:38
Speaker 1: a changed man off the field. You'll hear that. Sports
22:41
Speaker 1: Radio ninety two seven w f n Z.
23:03
Speaker 3: I would say he ascended last year and there's still
23:06
Speaker 3: room for him to ascend. Like his ceiling currently is unknown,
23:10
Speaker 3: and I think that's exciting for us, and he's he's
23:12
Speaker 3: working hard to.
23:15
Speaker 1: Get himself there. That is Bran Tillis part of some
23:20
Speaker 1: very interesting comments yesterday. Panthers usually make him available to
23:24
Speaker 1: the media in training camp one time each year, and
23:28
Speaker 1: yesterday was that day. I would say a good three
23:31
Speaker 1: minutes or so on Bryce's contract situation, and that was interesting.
23:36
Speaker 1: A sending player still last year he called him as
23:40
Speaker 1: sending players, says he still is and then drops in
23:44
Speaker 1: that we don't really know what his ceiling is right now.
23:48
Speaker 1: What did you think about that comment, Bony right there
23:50
Speaker 1: from Brent Tillis, I think it's it's a very honest comment,
23:53
Speaker 1: and it's what we've all kind of said. We said
23:56
Speaker 1: it yesterday. We were trying to figure out where does
23:59
Speaker 1: he what Bright's his future compensation in comparison to Baker
24:03
Speaker 1: Mayfield in that range of quarterback. We said the same thing.
24:06
Speaker 1: It's unknown right now. He could go higher than we
24:11
Speaker 1: think he could go lower. I assume he won't go
24:16
Speaker 1: backwards in his progression in his ascension, but he is
24:21
Speaker 1: still on a none of what the level of quarterback
24:24
Speaker 1: he is in terms of where he ranks in the league.
24:26
Speaker 1: And that was a very honest comment that we've also
24:29
Speaker 1: said for Brent Teller. I think we all don't think
24:31
Speaker 1: for us to say it, but it's not think for
24:32
Speaker 1: Brent Teler. I think we all agree with it. Joe
24:34
Speaker 1: Person had a very interesting follow up, which is he's
24:37
Speaker 1: three years into his career, like, did you think by
24:39
Speaker 1: now you would know what a ceiling is? And we're
24:42
Speaker 1: going to get into two. We're going to play a
24:44
Speaker 1: longer clip of it later in the show and really
24:46
Speaker 1: talk about it. But it was a very interesting back
24:49
Speaker 1: and forth. And I do think that Brandt tillis Bone
24:52
Speaker 1: did slip up a little bit in there. It's no
24:55
Speaker 1: huge surprise, but he did drop a line in there
24:58
Speaker 1: to the effect of of we'll kind of see how
25:02
Speaker 1: the season goes, and it was kind of like, okay,
25:06
Speaker 1: there's no extension coming at all, and I don't think
25:08
Speaker 1: most of us thought there was an extension coming. And
25:11
Speaker 1: he was then asked about it afterwards after that comment,
25:14
Speaker 1: and he kind of, well, you know, I'm not going
25:16
Speaker 1: to get into the specifics, but I feel like he
25:18
Speaker 1: did kind of tell us, yeah, there's there's no extension
25:22
Speaker 1: and we'll see what. We'll see how the season goes.
25:25
Speaker 1: They need and I think we all thought this, but
25:28
Speaker 1: it was kind of like a It was kind of
25:31
Speaker 1: like a an indication that, yes, they are looking for
25:35
Speaker 1: more from Bryce, like this thing is not settled, this
25:38
Speaker 1: thing is not a done deal that oh, we're going
25:40
Speaker 1: to give him a contract after the season. I do
25:42
Speaker 1: truly believe they do need to see more, but I
25:46
Speaker 1: also think bone that he is capable of more and
25:49
Speaker 1: he will give them more. Do you know, mac whos
25:52
Speaker 1: career is starting to resemble a little bit, And I
25:55
Speaker 1: think that some detractors will will get on this one.
25:59
Speaker 1: But I look at this as a guy that did
26:02
Speaker 1: win a lot of football games. He's kind of off
26:05
Speaker 1: to a start similar to Alex Smith, a little bit
26:07
Speaker 1: of a number one overall pick. Alex Smith did not
26:11
Speaker 1: start to make that leap who became a very winning
26:13
Speaker 1: player by the way in his career, He did not
26:16
Speaker 1: make that leap really until year four. He struggled early,
26:20
Speaker 1: he had injuries. His first three years were not very good,
26:24
Speaker 1: and it became a year four when Harball got there
26:27
Speaker 1: when he really started to become the Alex Smith that
26:29
Speaker 1: won a lot of football games. Defense got better, run,
26:32
Speaker 1: game was good, Everything around him got better. So I
26:35
Speaker 1: don't view it as a negative, but I do wonder
26:38
Speaker 1: mcavie's kind of in an Alex Smith like stage of
26:42
Speaker 1: his career right now. Yeah, I think a number one
26:45
Speaker 1: overall pick. Did they start out playing like number one
26:49
Speaker 1: overall picks. No, but we had to sort of bury
26:52
Speaker 1: what we thought of them coming out, and then they
26:55
Speaker 1: became winning player. Alex Smith became a very much a
26:57
Speaker 1: winning player, especially when he got to Kansas City. He
27:00
Speaker 1: did not He did not have a winning record until
27:05
Speaker 1: his sixth year in the league. Yeah, like he himself
27:08
Speaker 1: in games he has started, didn't and that was thirteen
27:11
Speaker 1: and three. You know, you're talking about with hardball, but
27:14
Speaker 1: it took a long time. Smith was one of the
27:16
Speaker 1: guys that we compared him to in his first season.
27:19
Speaker 1: Alex Smith had one touchdown eleven interceptions his first season. Yeah,
27:23
Speaker 1: and I remember bringing sixteen and sixteen in year two
27:26
Speaker 1: and I remember bringing him up bone, you know, during
27:29
Speaker 1: Bryce's first year. I would definitely say that Bryce Young's
27:33
Speaker 1: first three years had been better than Alex Smith, Right, So,
27:37
Speaker 1: I believe and Alex Smith was a good quarterback, not
27:41
Speaker 1: a great one. I would be disappointed if he's not
27:44
Speaker 1: better than Alex Smith, though not saying the comparison doesn't work.
27:49
Speaker 1: You'd want him to be back in Alex Smith by
27:52
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, when they went to the Anti Championship Game
27:55
Speaker 1: seventeen and five. Once he got to that stage, that's
27:58
Speaker 1: when he started to get kind of the bet that's
28:00
Speaker 1: what Alxabeth became. But yeah, he's better than Alex Smith early.
28:04
Speaker 1: But I think the point is Alex Smith is one
28:07
Speaker 1: of those guys that became a late bloomer as a
28:10
Speaker 1: high draft choice. I'm trying to find examples of high
28:13
Speaker 1: drafted quarterbacks that once they got to year four beyond
28:18
Speaker 1: started to really develop even more than we thought. I mean,
28:21
Speaker 1: the thing with Bryce is, I think like he's gotten
28:25
Speaker 1: better every year. The first year was a complete train wreck.
28:30
Speaker 1: But I think I would hope even people that aren't
28:33
Speaker 1: big fans of Bryce can acknowledge that bleep show and
28:36
Speaker 1: that they're in too many quarterbacks in America. Ever that
28:40
Speaker 1: could have thrived in that you know, messed up situation.
28:44
Speaker 1: But since then, I mean, I feel like it's been
28:47
Speaker 1: solid incremental growth. It's just give me the full season.
28:52
Speaker 1: Don't have me on here reciting every offseason what you
28:56
Speaker 1: did in the final ten or eight games. Do it
28:59
Speaker 1: for the full season, right Like, If he just puts
29:02
Speaker 1: a full season together the way he played in these
29:06
Speaker 1: back half of the last two years, I think we're
29:09
Speaker 1: gonna have something that we can win playoff games with.
29:12
Speaker 1: I really don't about the NF. It's got to be
29:14
Speaker 1: more concerned about the NFL putting out the list of
29:16
Speaker 1: the guys that they're still doing their NFL Top one
29:19
Speaker 1: hundred right now. By the way, how about them putting
29:22
Speaker 1: out the whist of the guys that did not make
29:23
Speaker 1: the one hundred. CJ. Stroud was at one o three.
29:28
Speaker 1: So that Bryce shame. That Bryce Stroud argument has really
29:31
Speaker 1: taken a turn, hasn't it. We've been saying ever since
29:34
Speaker 1: last season, this thing is real. Even now, this thing
29:37
Speaker 1: has completely evened out, And that is a shame right there.
29:40
Speaker 1: I'm not laughing at all. I believe you're laughing right now.
29:44
Speaker 1: It's just so funny because of all the trash that
29:46
Speaker 1: was talked about Bryce v. Stroud in the first year.
29:49
Speaker 1: Even though Bryce and the Panthers beat Stroud that year.
29:51
Speaker 1: It's just kind of funny some fitty looks gun shy
29:54
Speaker 1: over it that I'm not gonna yell at you. Fitty,
29:56
Speaker 1: get on in here, baby, what do you got.
29:58
Speaker 2: I'm just standing again.
29:59
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right. He looked like he might have
30:00
Speaker 1: something to say. Well, I was thinking about tell me
30:03
Speaker 1: how great the Yankees have historically. I apologize to Mac
30:06
Speaker 1: for existing back there. Just say sorry. I didn't mean
30:08
Speaker 1: to exist on a Tuesday.
30:10
Speaker 2: I was thinking about the Alex Smith comparison, because I do.
30:12
Speaker 2: I thought it was a good one by bone, but
30:15
Speaker 2: I thought you said what I was thinking too, Like
30:17
Speaker 2: if that's if that's how we categorized his career ten
30:20
Speaker 2: twelve years from now, I would be disappointed if we
30:23
Speaker 2: say he was Alex Smith x esque, because I do
30:26
Speaker 2: believe he can elevate. I never thought Alex with elevated
30:29
Speaker 2: people around him. He had a really good coach, a really.
30:31
Speaker 1: Good defense, he got really good in Kansas he got
30:34
Speaker 1: really his stats got really good in Kansas City.
30:36
Speaker 2: And Andy Reid as his coach. I think that played
30:39
Speaker 2: a part in I think Bryce can elevate people around him,
30:42
Speaker 2: and so but bonus, it's It's not a bad comparison
30:45
Speaker 2: because look at some of these other form were number
30:47
Speaker 2: one overall picks, Like Matthew Stafford walked into a bad
30:50
Speaker 2: situation in Detroit but had a generational, talented wide receiver
30:54
Speaker 2: could put up monster numbers. Bryce wasn't gifted. That he
30:57
Speaker 2: walked into a terrible situation and have a mega tron
31:00
Speaker 2: to throw.
31:01
Speaker 1: The football to Matthew Stafford is something else brycelesn't gifted.
31:04
Speaker 1: And how it's serving on. We could stop now if
31:07
Speaker 1: you want to try to compare Brace to Matthew Stafford,
31:09
Speaker 1: I'm bowing out. But if he is not better than
31:12
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, who was good. If he's not better than
31:15
Speaker 1: Alex Smith at the end of his career, I'll be
31:17
Speaker 1: disappointed personally.
31:19
Speaker 2: And the trade I think would be deemed a failure.
31:23
Speaker 2: If his career is Alex Smith's, I think you look
31:26
Speaker 2: back on the trade and say they shouldn't have made it.
31:29
Speaker 1: That's my opinion. I'm done with the trade though, but
31:32
Speaker 1: I don't know about I'm done evaluating the trade right now.
31:34
Speaker 1: It's can what can we win with Bryce? You know
31:37
Speaker 1: what I mean?
31:39
Speaker 2: Division Championship? Like you could take the MVP sixty minutes
31:42
Speaker 2: in a playoff.
31:43
Speaker 1: You can do that, but we need more. We need more.
31:45
Speaker 1: But I like, I get this all the time, bone
31:48
Speaker 1: of people texting in, Hey, we got how to trade.
31:51
Speaker 1: You gotta be he's gotta be a he gotta be
31:53
Speaker 1: at all pro for the trade to all this stuff.
31:55
Speaker 1: I'm done with the trade. My mind is done with it.
31:58
Speaker 1: It's right now. It's what can we do with Bryce?
32:01
Speaker 1: Is he worth a contract? And how many games can
32:04
Speaker 1: we win? How far can we go with Bryce? The
32:06
Speaker 1: trade to me is a moot point now. It's personally
32:09
Speaker 1: I am cow's opinion. I agree with what you're saying.
32:12
Speaker 1: But it's going to be an unavoidable discussion in a
32:15
Speaker 1: couple of weeks though, when the Bears and Panthers playing
32:18
Speaker 1: with one So we're going to want to avoid it.
32:20
Speaker 1: But it's going to be a natural discussion point leading
32:23
Speaker 1: up to that game. That is true. Man, If you
32:27
Speaker 1: want to really, if you really want to shut up
32:28
Speaker 1: the trade, people go whoop the Bears ask price. That
32:31
Speaker 1: would be nice. That would definitely be nice. Man. I
32:35
Speaker 1: know which quarterback has the fingernail advantage in the first game,
32:37
Speaker 1: all right, I don't know who's going to be better
32:39
Speaker 1: on the field. But I know who has the prettier fingernails.
32:42
Speaker 1: All right, and that's a shot of Caleb Williams. All right, anyway,
32:46
Speaker 1: let's let's move along here. I feel like you got
32:52
Speaker 1: I feel like right now, I don't fit with I
32:55
Speaker 1: think I've thrown off the chemistry in this room with
32:58
Speaker 1: my early rantings. By the way, that's a week day.
33:00
Speaker 1: The text line bone the text line pretty hilarious on
33:04
Speaker 1: the first segment of the show. Pretty hilarious. I don't
33:06
Speaker 1: know if you looked at it except hype see hype see.
33:09
Speaker 1: I never knew you're a Yankee fan. Hype see here.
33:11
Speaker 1: I liked you. No, he grew up a Yankee and
33:13
Speaker 1: a cowboy fans Lakers basketball. He's your guy. Oh guy,
33:21
Speaker 1: he's your guy. He's not my guy. Oh now, hype
33:23
Speaker 1: c wants to trade me for Kyle Bailey, wants Kyle
33:26
Speaker 1: Bailey shipped to the All right, let's get to a
33:30
Speaker 1: couple of audio clips here. Well, matter of fact, we
33:32
Speaker 1: run out of time. That was a good conversation, though,
33:34
Speaker 1: but we run out of time. Let's move to Let's
33:38
Speaker 1: go to Princely. Because we tease this Princely, you might
33:42
Speaker 1: notice he's been off Twitter for a while. Twitter is
33:45
Speaker 1: less entertaining bone when Princely, when Princely is not on it,
33:49
Speaker 1: firing shot at the Falcons and others. Uh. But he
33:53
Speaker 1: explained yesterday that he talked to someone close to him
33:57
Speaker 1: and uh basically decided it would be best to to
34:01
Speaker 1: at least get off Twitter, if not all social media.
34:04
Speaker 4: I was on the phone with my like uncle slash Mentor,
34:07
Speaker 4: and he was talking about how social media is just
34:09
Speaker 4: no good, and then he just went on to talk
34:12
Speaker 4: about how Twitter is especially not good. Like he was like,
34:14
Speaker 4: there's no need to even have Twitter. And then he
34:16
Speaker 4: was like, I was like, I'll get off of it
34:18
Speaker 4: in like a week. He like, no, you're not. He's like,
34:19
Speaker 4: if you're really serious the post logging off to you
34:22
Speaker 4: get a probo. I'm like, damn. And then I didn't
34:25
Speaker 4: do it for like a week, and then I said,
34:27
Speaker 4: all right, I'm gonna do it. So then I did it.
34:29
Speaker 4: Ain't been on there since.
34:30
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:31
Speaker 4: Twitter was step one, and then I was gonna try to, uh,
34:34
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, get off everything. Eventually, Instagram
34:37
Speaker 4: is the hardest. They don't made some type of algorithm
34:40
Speaker 4: made it super addicting. But yeah, I'm trying to at
34:43
Speaker 4: least take a few months break from at least all
34:46
Speaker 4: social media. So step one was Twitter.
34:48
Speaker 1: Fitty, do you find Instagram super addicting? Very flow? Can
34:52
Speaker 1: we get a ruling for Floun though, whether he's addicted
34:54
Speaker 1: to I saw I saw Flound's head floating on alike
34:59
Speaker 1: for City Sweeney, theo Tony likes baby, he's at it again.
35:02
Speaker 1: We know who Princely's mentor was not telling him to
35:05
Speaker 1: get off social media. It wasn't D'Angel Williams. D'Angel is
35:10
Speaker 1: like the most infamous tweeter in panther history. I remember
35:13
Speaker 1: where Colin was doing that study that one year of
35:16
Speaker 1: more tweets were yard tweets. The yards ratio was very
35:19
Speaker 1: ascue for D'Angelo that one year, No doubt about it,
35:22
Speaker 1: because he would vote me. He was not only tweeted,
35:23
Speaker 1: he replied to people. They got mad at him. Princely talked, oh,
35:26
Speaker 1: big time, big time. Princely talked about, you know, not
35:31
Speaker 1: just the social media, but improving his diet. Says he
35:35
Speaker 1: found god. I mean he really, you know, feels like
35:38
Speaker 1: he he sounds like a man that really feels like
35:43
Speaker 1: he needed to work on himself as a person, and
35:45
Speaker 1: it's gonna help him as a player. He actually told
35:48
Speaker 1: his brother, Prince Will who is a stud edge rusher
35:52
Speaker 1: for LSU. He followed Lane Kiffin to LSU, and he said,
35:56
Speaker 1: he told him, if I would have done all this
35:59
Speaker 1: stuff to better myself in college, I'd have been a
36:02
Speaker 1: first round pick. And I still was a Day two pick.
36:04
Speaker 1: But my gosh, he is up there, right up there
36:07
Speaker 1: near Jonathan brooks Bone in terms of the ultimate X
36:10
Speaker 1: factor players. This dude has so much raw freaking ability
36:14
Speaker 1: and athleticism. If he can turn it up, man become
36:18
Speaker 1: a bit more well rounded. Like Canalis talks about against
36:21
Speaker 1: the run on first and second down. Man, he could
36:24
Speaker 1: really help this team. And think about the blessed. I mean,
36:28
Speaker 1: it sucks that Scoring's going through what he's going through,
36:31
Speaker 1: but think about it, mag If this elevates Princely to
36:35
Speaker 1: a dynamic role who he thought was kind of behind
36:38
Speaker 1: score and in terms of development, But if he has
36:41
Speaker 1: a full year and plays at a high level, then
36:45
Speaker 1: they get scoring back. All of a sudden. You got
36:46
Speaker 1: two dynamic guys yes on rookie contracts to go with
36:49
Speaker 1: the high price Kalen Phillips on the other side big time.
36:51
Speaker 1: So maybe that's the way to look at it from
36:53
Speaker 1: a positive sense. Is it Princely has a big time
36:57
Speaker 1: year and then Scording's coming back, Then we've got two
36:59
Speaker 1: of those guys, big time man, big time. All right, Boney, Well,
37:02
Speaker 1: you know what's about to happen on the show, Bony?
37:04
Speaker 1: What's that we are about to talk about? An individual?
37:07
Speaker 1: I think we're going to agree on spin the wheel?
37:11
Speaker 1: Is it gonna lang on Aaron Rodgers? That might bring
37:14
Speaker 1: us back together Bone? After my tie Rade. Early on,
37:16
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers returned to the Pat McAfee show, and he
37:20
Speaker 1: stirred it up as he always does, to the point
37:23
Speaker 1: back where the Steelers had to say. Aaron Rodgers views
37:26
Speaker 1: are his own Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ Sports
37:50
Speaker 1: Radio ninety two seven WFNZ. Macann Bone with you. I'm
37:54
Speaker 1: very nervous right now. Bone informed me that the athletic
37:59
Speaker 1: writer Mike Saying put out his big quarterback tiers list
38:03
Speaker 1: that he does every every year about this time, and
38:07
Speaker 1: I am very nervous to see where Bryce is going
38:10
Speaker 1: to show up. Let me walk us through what happened,
38:12
Speaker 1: I said, Mac, just gotten a word. The Athletic put
38:14
Speaker 1: out an NFL quarterback list. Back said, I think by
38:18
Speaker 1: the time we get to August, I'm done with the list.
38:20
Speaker 1: I'm tired of list. And he went, oh, no, is
38:23
Speaker 1: that Mike Sandos and now you're stressed about the list?
38:26
Speaker 1: Is this is the big one? Bone talks to a
38:28
Speaker 1: ton of people around the league and tiers the players off.
38:32
Speaker 1: So yes, I cannot, I cannot ignore. You just told
38:36
Speaker 1: us not the wickedness. Twenty second, twenty second he is
38:41
Speaker 1: in tier three.
38:42
Speaker 3: I think.
38:43
Speaker 1: I also like, how you know the dates of when
38:44
Speaker 1: these guys dropped their wins? This because this is this
38:47
Speaker 1: is a big one. My My whole point was Bony
38:51
Speaker 1: that I feel like, once we get the camp, y'all
38:52
Speaker 1: should have all the lists done. This is where he
38:54
Speaker 1: tears them off, right, But with that said, yes, with
38:58
Speaker 1: that said, though, Bone, if you do one in training
39:01
Speaker 1: camp like sandal, I'm gonna be here. But yeah, twenty
39:03
Speaker 1: second in tier three for Bryce Young bo Nix is
39:06
Speaker 1: the first quarterback in tier three. Eighteenth Aaron Rodgers, who
39:10
Speaker 1: were getting ready to play you some audio from from
39:13
Speaker 1: his McAfee appearance. He's nineteenth Stroud twenty Daniel Jones twenty one,
39:20
Speaker 1: Bryce Young twenty two. I put Bryce that day. Here's
39:22
Speaker 1: three is legitimate starters who need strong run games or
39:25
Speaker 1: elite defenses to succeed. And I don't have a problem
39:29
Speaker 1: with Bryce being there right now, Fine, I want have
39:31
Speaker 1: a problem. I put him ahead of Daniel Jones because
39:33
Speaker 1: Tier two's high level producers who carry teams. Well, I'm
39:36
Speaker 1: a Bryce. He's trying to get into Bryce s Gott.
39:38
Speaker 1: But that's not That's not how he defined Bryce at all.
39:40
Speaker 1: I gets a twenty twenty sex.
39:41
Speaker 2: That's the fitty tier producers who carry teams.
39:44
Speaker 1: Clearly, I was thinking the same thing. You and I
39:46
Speaker 1: are now on the same page. I think you want
39:49
Speaker 1: Bryce producers who get carried out in NASCAR races. I
39:53
Speaker 1: think you want Bryce on that second tier next year, though, yes,
39:57
Speaker 1: I think if he's not, the contract talks are gonna
39:59
Speaker 1: be very interesting. He is up on tier four or five.
40:02
Speaker 1: We got a major problem on our major problem, major problem.
40:06
Speaker 1: What are the comments? Let's see here? That is that
40:09
Speaker 1: is much like Jeremy Fowlers wis. This is a wist
40:14
Speaker 1: that Sando talks to GM's head coaches, coordinators, and executives
40:18
Speaker 1: around the League. So this isn't just Sando throwing them
40:21
Speaker 1: up there. This is a very detailed ranking system there.
40:25
Speaker 1: Look what we have Bones. We got a quote from
40:27
Speaker 1: an offensive coach. He is a three, meaning tier three
40:30
Speaker 1: who is growing on me. His vision down the field
40:33
Speaker 1: allows him to throw it later in the down and
40:35
Speaker 1: create a little He moves around just enough to get
40:38
Speaker 1: the ball out. He sees passing lanes well. He can
40:41
Speaker 1: throw with anticipation, but he is what he is physically.
40:46
Speaker 1: He looks like a high school kid out there. That thing, man,
40:48
Speaker 1: that thing really got bad at the end there. A
40:52
Speaker 1: former GM Bone says quote, he needs the athletes around him,
40:56
Speaker 1: and they've done a good job surrounding him. He doesn't
40:58
Speaker 1: necessarily elevate them, but he puts them in a position
41:01
Speaker 1: to be successful. His anticipation is off the charts, and
41:05
Speaker 1: he is a better runner and athlete than people give
41:07
Speaker 1: him credit for. I feel like those are some fair comments.
41:10
Speaker 1: The anticipation. I don't even think we talk about it enough.
41:13
Speaker 1: I heard Steve Kahm talking about it on this show
41:15
Speaker 1: with Trey Wingo Bone the other day. Like he is,
41:18
Speaker 1: he can be. He's on his way to being elite
41:21
Speaker 1: in terms of anticipation absolutely, and the buying time stuff.
41:25
Speaker 1: I think that Obama Bryce stuff. I think that's a
41:28
Speaker 1: fair grouping with the guys he's with the write up elite.
41:31
Speaker 1: When you read about what the tiers are, he's not
41:34
Speaker 1: a high level producer that carries teams. That's where we
41:37
Speaker 1: want him to be. He's not a lover tier starter.
41:40
Speaker 1: He's above that. So I look twenty two. Ultimately, no,
41:44
Speaker 1: that's not good enough. But for where we are today,
41:47
Speaker 1: I feel like the tier three is where he belongs. Yeah, absolutely,
41:50
Speaker 1: now absolutely, all right, let's go to let's get see
41:54
Speaker 1: this Aaron Rodgers thing. Oh this on a light up
41:56
Speaker 1: the text line Bone. Just what I want to do
41:58
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six Aaron Rodgers back with his family.
42:01
Speaker 1: Just what I want to do in twenty twenty six
42:03
Speaker 1: Bone is talk about doctor Fauci and COVID and vaccines.
42:09
Speaker 1: Just what I want to do is bring back all
42:11
Speaker 1: that conversation and argument. But obviously Fauci pled the fifth
42:17
Speaker 1: about four hundred ninety eight times last week in DC
42:20
Speaker 1: Bone while taking the stand, and Aaron Rodgers could not
42:24
Speaker 1: help himself. This is him. Pat McAfee was live from
42:27
Speaker 1: Steeler Cam and this is Aaron Rodgers. There'll also be
42:30
Speaker 1: a shot in here at Diana Rassini and ESPN along
42:33
Speaker 1: the way. Let's listen to this over the years of
42:35
Speaker 1: the past.
42:36
Speaker 5: I'm gonna plead the fifth Okay, Okay, like I love that, Okay,
42:43
Speaker 5: like that absolute coward, Tony absolute Yeah?
42:48
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
42:49
Speaker 4: Yeah?
42:50
Speaker 6: You got a pardon and you're in front of you
42:52
Speaker 6: and you pleaded over one hundred times at the White House?
42:55
Speaker 1: What are you scared of?
42:55
Speaker 6: Tony? I thought you were the science Yeah, yeah, I
42:58
Speaker 6: thought you and I am sciences. Did you get up
43:00
Speaker 6: there and you can't answer a question?
43:02
Speaker 1: Yeah? What are we doing?
43:03
Speaker 6: And how much time did the network spend of that?
43:05
Speaker 6: How much time did they spend on my responses every week?
43:08
Speaker 6: On my vaccination status? On Taylor at Travis's wedding? They
43:15
Speaker 6: did they do even a minute? Did they do even
43:18
Speaker 6: a minute on Tony Fauci?
43:19
Speaker 1: I don't think I've heard that. I bet they didn't.
43:21
Speaker 6: But on that note, and there was another scandalous offseason too,
43:24
Speaker 6: involved in a voter for m VP for Coach of
43:27
Speaker 6: the Year. How much time do you did your network
43:30
Speaker 6: spend what's your did your network spend.
43:32
Speaker 1: On that network. This is awesome. Go back to Fauci.
43:40
Speaker 6: Go back to the coward, Tony fuc science. You're spending
43:44
Speaker 6: the entire time right in his diary about how fun
43:47
Speaker 6: it is to be famous. You gotta be kidding me. Okay,
43:51
Speaker 6: So on that note, what are you gonna say about me? Now?
43:53
Speaker 1: All right? So there you get. I want to do
43:56
Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers family did for so long and just
43:58
Speaker 1: move away from this guy for a while. I forgot.
44:01
Speaker 1: I forgot how annoying he can be at times. He
44:07
Speaker 1: forgot well, I tried to steer that conversation away, by
44:11
Speaker 1: the way, from the ESPN, the little MCA, little macetz
44:14
Speaker 1: or is that what we call it? No, we don't
44:15
Speaker 1: call y'all that the mcafeets back there. Yes, let's go
44:19
Speaker 1: back to Tony Faulcher. Let's go back to Tony Fauci.
44:21
Speaker 1: Because Aaron Rodgers was laying in the ESPN's lame ass
44:24
Speaker 1: for not saying a word about the Diana Rassini stuff. Yes,
44:27
Speaker 1: literally never covered it, never said a word. And I
44:29
Speaker 1: never understood why she didn't work for them anymore? Why
44:31
Speaker 1: were they protect who were they protecting a former employee?
44:34
Speaker 1: I never understood why they couldn't say a word about
44:36
Speaker 1: it the Vrabel side because they're an NFL partner. I
44:40
Speaker 1: guess I don't know. I always thought that was lame,
44:42
Speaker 1: so that I started to like it at that point.
44:45
Speaker 1: I started to like it at that point, drudging up
44:47
Speaker 1: this old Tony Fauci stuff. I just I'm over it, man,
44:51
Speaker 1: I'm over the whole conversation. I understand he was testifying
44:54
Speaker 1: last week and all that stuff, but I am just
44:57
Speaker 1: completely over it. I just and I'm over Aaron Rodgers man. Seriously,
45:02
Speaker 1: so you said the Steelers issued a statement of some
45:04
Speaker 1: sort quote. Our players are entitled to their own personal views.
45:09
Speaker 1: That's what a Stealer spokesman said to one of the TVs.
45:12
Speaker 1: Move away and let me distance myself away and anyway, Bone,
45:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you and the text line can hang out
45:19
Speaker 1: during the break, Bony, you guys can hang out there
45:21
Speaker 1: during the break. A lot of Aaron Rodgers fans here,
45:25
Speaker 1: including be Bop Bebop, shopping for a jersey right now
45:28
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. I believe at this point in time,
45:30
Speaker 1: I did want to mention really quickly here. I did
45:35
Speaker 1: want to mention a couple of college football schedule scheduling news.
45:38
Speaker 1: So Notre Dame in USC is going to be back
45:41
Speaker 1: on starting in twenty thirty.
45:44
Speaker 2: In the week one two. I love that.
45:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, Week one in twenty thirty and twenty forty thirty one,
45:49
Speaker 1: they will play you know, in LA and in South
45:52
Speaker 1: Bend one way or the other, and they will play
45:54
Speaker 1: four games total. An interesting part of this story is
45:59
Speaker 1: that the spot opened up on Notre Dame schedule because
46:03
Speaker 1: Indiana asked if they can cancel their home and home
46:06
Speaker 1: with Notre Dame in twenty thirty and twenty thirty one.
46:09
Speaker 1: I'm a big Kurt Signetti fan. I think he's absolutely badass.
46:13
Speaker 1: I think he's earned the right to run his yapper.
46:15
Speaker 1: I will say this bone, he doesn't exactly have the
46:18
Speaker 1: same machismo when it comes to the schedule. Would you
46:23
Speaker 1: like to hear mack their opponents non conference next handful
46:26
Speaker 1: of years? Yeah, they don't have one power for opponent
46:28
Speaker 1: now scheduled this year, Oh, this year's North Texas, Howard
46:32
Speaker 1: and Western Kentucky twenty twenty seven, Kennessall State Indiana, State
46:36
Speaker 1: UMass twenty twenty eight, Austin, p Eastern Michigan, Miami, Ohio,
46:42
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine, Ball State, Eastern Illinois, Western Kentucky again,
46:47
Speaker 1: twenty thirty Indiana State Delaware. I mean not a single
46:51
Speaker 1: one on there at all, a single one through twenty
46:54
Speaker 1: thirty they have through twenty twenty nine, they have no
46:58
Speaker 1: slots available and no Power four opponents, and they just
47:02
Speaker 1: took the only two Power four non conference games listen,
47:05
Speaker 1: which would have been an awesome series, would have been amazing.
47:07
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. I want to see Indiana play
47:11
Speaker 1: big time non conference games now. They're one of the
47:13
Speaker 1: big daddies in the sport, so I want to see
47:15
Speaker 1: you play some fun games out of conference, and just
47:19
Speaker 1: it just appears they had no desire to do it.
47:22
Speaker 1: All those non conference games are all the first three
47:24
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. So they're going to have these
47:27
Speaker 1: years the next four or five years, where we don't
47:30
Speaker 1: really see Indiana start their season until almost October, basically
47:34
Speaker 1: when the big ten seasons. Definitely when we come back
47:37
Speaker 1: on the Mac and Bone radio program, we're gonna get
47:39
Speaker 1: off to a solid start. In the seven o'clock hour,
47:42
Speaker 1: We're all gonna get along, White gentlemen, We're gonna talk
47:44
Speaker 1: about Dave Canalis announcing is playing for playing time on
47:48
Speaker 1: Thursday night? Do we like it? How would fans handle
47:51
Speaker 1: playing time if they were in charge? Sports Radio ninety
47:54
Speaker 1: two to seven WFNZ
