• 2:07
  Speaker 3: been a little bit of a temperature situation here. But
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Fiddy right now is sweating like no man has sweated
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: before him.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And the only thing that's sweating, well, I don't I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: can't speak for for uh, the whole body, but the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: head is where the sweat is. It is crazy.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: He got compared to the fountains at the Bullaggio before
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the Joe in Vegas.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Did you see it spritzing? It's not just sitting on
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: top of his head. You're saying, well, sweat is now
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: spritzing out.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I've heard stories of the polar ice caps melting before,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: but I've never seen it happen a fitty.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You feel all right? Over at that looks hard?
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: You look good man? You go you all right?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: No, guys, I feel I feel fine.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Mac.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I can confirm Tho's other areas of sweat. If you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: want to feel, yeah, I don't want to get it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: If you want to feel on my body to feel
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the dampness, I'm go take your word for that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It's top and lower back. That's that's that's where it is.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But I officially need to invest in this wet towel.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: He totaled that you need that Tark the shark John
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Thompson eighties nineties towel when they coached.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, definitely right over the shoulder, baby, you.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Know what I mean a little bit during the show.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, you did put in a lot of work.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: As you said before we started, you were kind of
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: concerned because you said, guys, all I did was pluy cordy.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: He was out of breath. If that's the first sign.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He first gets out of breath from plugging in some
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: cords on our equipment, and then all of a sudden
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the head starts luber Katon. It was crazy, man, Oh
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: shoot Fish, that's entertaining. No, Fitty, you know what I mean.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: That's entertaining.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Man. You didn't enter camp in shape. You're using camp
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to get in shape. That's right, old school style.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: You are the content god. I mean, even the pores
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: on the top of your dome are creating entertainment.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, this dude is just the text line has
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: now named you the Blaggio, the.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Ball Blagio. Maybe that's gonna be. That's gonna be Fitty's
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Hotel and casino the God. All right. So anyway, in
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: addition to monitoring Fiddy's head sweat, we are also going
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to give you tons of Carolina Panther talk on the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: show today. Very excited Bone that we're out here. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: think this is why it was last year. I feel
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: like our first live show was the first day of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: padded practice as well. So nfl PA, you can step off,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: all right, you can handle your investigation on day one,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: but these boys are allowed to pop the pads and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: hint a little bit today. So I'm looking forward to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: seeing that. Man, what happens on the lines today. I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing they don't put on the pads
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: till we show up?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Is that how it work for us? But we were
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: here Sunday though.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, maybe it's just coquincidence.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, Bone, I should have went with that.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I should have went with that storyline. I didn't mean
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to let the facts get in the way Bone at
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: all of that one. So it'll be interesting to see.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: We'll see if you know, he's Robert Hunt back out
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: there with the back tightness? Is Mike Jack back out
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: there at the back? Is Brazzle back out there? We're
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: still waiting on Horn with the cut on his foot.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: These are the ones Bone, where you're expecting them to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: get back sooner rather than later. So we'll see what
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: ends up happening today. I would expect it to be
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a good media turnout. It felt kind of light the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: other day on a Sunday. I would think that's probably,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you know, a light day of practice, white with a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: doubt with a downpour also that didn't help. And I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: think today I don't want to mac curse it, but
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a dry practice. I don't
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: think I checked the weather last night. I don't think Bone,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it is going to rain during practice. It does not
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: look like it. No, all right, but if anybody could
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: could make it rain. That sounded weird. And anybody can
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: make it rain, it's me with a mac hurt. Only
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: will be uh low eighties during practice. They've got so
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: much going on over here. It's gonna be ninety plus
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: by the end of the day. But yeah, when they're practicing,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it'll be in the eighties. I was gonna say it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: gonna be humid, but that's just I was just looking
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: at Fitty's head. I can't I don't know if that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: is that an indicator, Bone said earlier, it's like checking
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the due point.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's they's bald dominx.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, it's amazing. It's amazing, man. All right, there's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: so much going on over here. Bone. Not only are
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the Panthers hosting training camp and are they going to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: have their first padded practice today, but there's tons of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: people around with the MLS. They had uh training yesterday
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: for the MLS All Stars. I know Willie was out there,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and then today is going to be Tonight's gonna be
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the skills competition, which features not only Tim Reem who
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: last week said I have no idea what the heck
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they're asking me to do. Uh, so we'll find out
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: today with him. But also, chat O Cho Sinca is
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a celebrity competing. You know, he's a big soccer nut,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and he is competing in the skills competition, the crossbar
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: challenge tonight, and uh, you told me that he's gonna
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: be out of camp. He's double dipping. He's doing camp
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in the soccer to know. Yeah, he's in Panther fan mode.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He's wanting to get J. C. Horn's autograph. He's wanting
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to know who our wide receiver and when I say, oh,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: those are his words, who's our wide receiver coach? And
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: who's our kicker? So he's back in on charge. He
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: loved Jarl can't ever tell if he's a Panther fan
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: or not. Sometimes he acts like it, and I think
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he's a I mean the Panthers. I guess, okay, both cats.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: He's got an AFC cat in a MC No.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I don't really get the reasoning behind it, but we'll
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: take it. We could have used you Ocho to pair
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: with Smitty back in your prime. By the way, if
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: you like Charlotte Someway, we're looking for a Smitty number
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: two there for a while. We could have used it here.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The last night he was looking for a cigar bar
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: in Charlotte. I was he He went to one that
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: was members only and he couldn't go. So he was
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: looking for a cigar bar and all his followers that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: are in Charlotte were helping him out. So Ocho is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: doing the Queen City right.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Nobody sent me a text back you'll like this and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: asked me if we're broadcasting from the closet where Willie
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: p keeps Brett Brodeco locked up.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That's cold, man, that is cold.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: That's down the hall.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Uh by the way, look at the look at the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: text coming in. Soggy sandwich, says as I. As I said,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: no rain today, He says, I just drove through a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: shower on for it. But I'm telling you that Matt
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: curse could change weather.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Make he doesn't look right. It doesn't crazy as a
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: guy Matt that often overheats. I can tell when a
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: guy is overheated a little.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, oh man. Anyway, we will we will monitor
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that will monitor the panthers activity here, and we will
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: monitor uh Fiddy's head activity. As well.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: That sounds kind of weird. Uh, you know what I mean?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: You know this is his head sweating, you know what
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So anyway, we got things happening here at Bank of
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: America Stadium. We also need to mention that there's some
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: turmoil in Tampa right right now. Their stud defensive tackle
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Vitaveya has been in contract talks with the Bucks trying
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to get a new deal. Quarterback Baker Mayfield has two
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and apparently, according to reports, vita Vea has had enough
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: of not getting anything done and he has now requested
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a trade.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: When I saw that, my thoughts were strictly, okay, get
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: him the heck out of the NFC South. That was
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: my thought, like, I don't want to deal with that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: mountain of a man that occupies two blockers and then
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: can beat two blockers. I mean, he is just a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: force of Nathan him on a forklift, and get him
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: out of town, take him to some other division. Panther fans, though,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: bone started taking it a step further. They started saying,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: how about we trade for vita Vea? And I don't
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: know if the Bucks would want to do that in division?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Did you look at it that way? Bone, like, would
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you know you were not?
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: It was it was, oh yeah, get him out of here,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: send them somewhere else, get that big, old, big pile
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: of beef out of the NFC South. I didn't really
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: correlate him being a panther because I didn't think the Bucks,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: who still think they're good and Todd Bowles on the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: hot seat, I didn't think that they would trade within
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the division Vita Vea.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I heard they. They asked Brad Stevens, is it a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: good idea? Brad said, go ahead, it's not a problem
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: at all. Tried into the villa. Fans will be completely
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: happy with you.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I did read a tweet, Matt that made you smile
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: before the show from Brandon Kravitz. He's a long time
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Orlando radio host and he tweeted out obviously covers the
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: team down there. He said, I don't think people realize
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: how mid to bad the Bucks are going to be
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: this season, and out of respect for Vida Vea and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: to start the rebuild, they got to do him right
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and get him out of this.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: That I didn't expect to hear that. It'd expect me
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to hear that from someone down there in the Florida media.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I will say this about Vidavea, the idea of him
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in the middle, Derek Brown and Lee Hunter, and that's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: your three down linemen on first down, and you say
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: run at us if you dare, that's a cool thought.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I will say that I and I just view I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: would rather trade for an edge, like, if we're going
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to do any sort of trade here and not just
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: try to pick up a free agent. By the way,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Ferrell was picked up yesterday by somebody?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Was it Miami? I didn't see that.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's one of the guys that was out
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: there on the free agent edge list. He's I think
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: it was the Dolphins that picked him up yesterday. But
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna trade for anybody, my favorite idea, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: we could talk about it more. I was gonna wait
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: till later to break this out, but I can't contain
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: myself right now. Alex high Smith is the best idea
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I've heard. You said there was a Texter or two
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that brought it up. Yeah, I've got a I've got
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a friend that used to be my neighbor in my
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: old neighborhood coaches football here in Town high School and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: he's a diehard Steeler fan, and the second this happened,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he texted me and was like, you know, there's talk
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: on the Steeler blogs like would Charlotte be a player
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: because there's been Alex high Smith trade talk all off
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: season because they you know, you know, Wat's getting big money. Well,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: they just signed Nick Herbig to a huge deal. So
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: there's been thought in Pittsburgh that it's inevitable that maybe we,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe we want to trade him, get something
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: for him since his snapload is down and we've got
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: all this money in defensive ends and uh, you bring
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: him home to Charlotte or he played college football. He's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: got two years left on his deal about thirty million dollars.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: That's one where I gotta slip Dan Morgan a note.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Moone, I'm gonna slip him a note later. You got
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: your list of gear that you want here, so right
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: down on the back.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna There's gonna be no gear request.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It's just gonna be an alex Oschmi.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: How about that? I don't even need an shoes, ay
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: hats and endything.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: It makes all the sense in the world from a
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: football and a logistical perspective of high Smith coming home.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: You know he'd embrace that. It's a panther need. So, yeah,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: you're you are. I don't want to never mind, I'm
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: not gonna say it. I can't say that. I don't
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: like to say mac is one thousand percent right. It's
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: not in my It's not in my vocab or wexicon there. No,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: But it makes all the sense world. That makes a
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: lot more sense than Vidavea does. Via Veda is a
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: great pipe dream to think about the middle there together.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: But Ali Smith, to me, he's a more realistic, feasible option,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: more pertinent. I just I just feel because bave is
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: gonna want to get paid also, and you're already paying
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Derek Brow.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's what his whole battle's about. Right now,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to fu trade for him. You're gonna
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: want to give him an extension. Is he in his
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: final year of his deal?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Final year?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Let's see what's the high Smith situation right now? What's
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: what's he have going on? Two years? About thirty million dollars. See,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: you're investing for a couple of years in Alice Heighsmith' Vidavea.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Veya's last year, seventeen million final year, I will Uh, yeah,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay him or else. It's a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it's a one year rental situation. I think if you
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: get high Smith for two years, I feel like you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: got him right now, replacing Scrton next year. I believe
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: he replaces Pat Jones essentially because wasn't Pat Jones on
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a two year deal. I'm not mistaken. And s Gorton
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: can kind of ease back in because first year off
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of torn a cl and then after that you make
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a decision. Maybe then high Smith go. You know what
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, the question is what would it take?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: It's not it does. It costs money to get edges so,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: but I don't know that one really intrigues me. Man,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that that's the one Wilmington kid originally right, Wilmington kid
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: played ball for the Niners in college.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: High Smith and Cavon Thibodeaux have been the most intriguing
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: names brought up. Uh so far, and he's only got
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: one year left. He's got one and I I think
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I trust more, and not that I wouldn't take on
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: this team Mac, but I trust high Smith. I think
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: a little bit more oh.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: He he's been way more consistent in production, consistent, and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: there's not the narrative around him about the teammate and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: all the stuff that surrounds Thibodeaux. So I would I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: would trust high Smith a whole lot more. And you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: know he can play in the three four because he's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: been playing in Pittsburgh. So you know, nine and a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: half sacks last year, thirteenth rated edge Rusher last year
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: on PFF. The problem is Herbig was rated higher than that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: TJ Wat's their star. I mean, they have a good
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: problem to have. They have tons of dudes at that position,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and maybe they won't want to budge, you know what
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, Maybe the speculation's wrong, but like it wouldn't
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: hurt to ask.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Maybe when Dan Morgan comes down here eight thirty, maybe
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: we'll just make the call for him.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Dan, give me your phone here. On your phone, Dan,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you got Pittsburgh on there. So anyway, that one's kind
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of intriguing to me. I don't know how how Panther
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: fans feel about that, or feel about trying to acquire
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: vide veya, but we can talk about those things as well.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I do want to mention if we're gonna give Fitty
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a hard time about his sweating head. We must salute
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Fiddy's Mets, unfortunately Braves fans because they went the heck
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: off yesterday bone Man on Braves reliever Connor Thomas, who
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Fiddy said it got so bad for him, the Mets
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: broadcasters wanted to give him a hug. He came in
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Bone to a three to three game in the sixth inning,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: proceeded to give up ten hits, eleven runs, and he
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: walked five for good measure in two and two third innings.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: They just decided, our bullpen's tired as hell after working
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: so much in the Baltimore series. We are just gonna
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: let this dude get abused for a couple innings. God,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: fourteen to three was the final score.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: You talk about You talk about leaving a guy out
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: there mac in the in the desert without water. My gracious,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's one of the worst stat wines. I've
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: seen some bad stat wines before. What do you throw
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: in the walks that you mentioned on top of that before?
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: It's it's really something amazing thing about fell asleep during
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: our segment. By the way, are we losing you fit?
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: What happened? Over there.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Fiddy's eyes are closing right now.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: The amazing thing about it bone is he has gotten
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Salama Bam not this bad, but he has gotten rocked
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: like every time he has pitched. He has four has
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: four appearances in the Bigs, and he has a twenty
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: point eighty r A in foot like two appearances. Last year,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: his era a bone was like twenty two appearances. This
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: year it's twenty one. Like I just I have a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: suspicion he might not be ready for the Biggs. That's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: not even, that's not even the Mets with Wan Soto
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: was injured right now, Yeah, Lindor went off last night
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: two homers, RBI triples, six RBI crazy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: There's not many New York results that are fourteen to three,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: even in football.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Unless they're losing. So Chris Sale will go tonight. That'll
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: be good news. They you could tell they were in
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: prote you know they were in rest of the bullpen
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: take our whooping now mode. Matter of fact, they went
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to infield or Jorge Matteo to close the game out.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: He actually did better. He only got one out, but
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: only gave up one hit and he had a strikeout.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: He did better than counter Thomas. Maybe they should have
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: went to him earlier.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah seriously. Yeah, that the crazy part is, and you
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: said it. You look at that score and you think, wow,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: the Braves really just gave the game away. They laid down.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Martin Perez had it at three to three. He got
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: him back into it with three to one, then it
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: was three to three. But that game was there. So
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: when you look at fourteen to three, it doesn't really
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: tell the full story of how quickly that thing got
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: away from there.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It was a tie game in the sixth and then
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Connor Thomas happened.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Poor guy. Phillies did lose last night. Not that we're
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: really monitoring the NL East as closely as we were,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: say two weeks ago, but the Phillies did lose last
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: night book game to the Morlins. They had that one
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: there and then they lost that one late last night.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: There you go. And Lebron, this is my favorite twist
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: on the Lebron mania in Philadelphia is he plans to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: live in New York City and commute in for work
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: and it may involve a helicopter every day. How do
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: you feel in Philadelphia like you sign me? He's like
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you gonna be.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: One of us. He gonna run up the rocky stairs. Baby,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know why. That's my Philadelphia voice.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden you find out, no,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: he wants to stay and live in the city you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: hate and just come in when he has to work.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: That's a weird twist on it, isn't it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Wait till Joel Embiid gets injured boarding the helicopter at
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: some point pulls a hamstring or something on the chapa.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: You think Fitty would you think Phitty's head would sweat
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: on the helicopter with Lebron oh Man. All right, anyway,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: good first segment matter. I feel good. First segment. We
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: accomplished a lot.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I feel Fitty's gonna sweat a little bit more than
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: next seven macause we're gonna talk about what's going on
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: with Michael Wembardi on leave with the Heels, what's the
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: possible reason behind it. And there's an investigation also into
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: the UNC football program. All that and more. We are
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: alive from the Panthers facility the Homer Hangout Sports Radio
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: ninety two.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: So you're being very kind. He is, without question, the
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: worst general manager in college sports.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he's still the highest paid.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: But he was making one point.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I think start yeah, unless we missed something, his one
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: point five million something that wasn't announced, we still believe
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: that he is the highest paid.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: He should be getting his paycheck with a ski mask on.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry he like, this is such a staggering amount
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: of ineptitude in the job he's had for Bill Belichick, right,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: And you know, I go back to this big story
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: we did last year and he was a focal point
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: of it. It's the arrogance, it's the abrasiveness. I mean,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of qualities that have rubbed people the
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: wrong way for a long time, but Bill Belichick has
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: been one of the people who has been in his
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: corner and always and the fact that Bill Belichick trusted
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: him to have the most important job of anybody he
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: could hire. And it is blown up in his face
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: and North Carolina's face spectacularly.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: That is the audible podcast has Bruce Feldman teeing off
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: on unc GM, Michael Lombardi, Ralph Russo along there as well,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the worst GM in college football, and he should pick
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: up his paycheck with a ski mask bone.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: That's those are the quotes besides Bruce Feldman. Besides that,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: he's earned his key. That's the thing about him, the
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: highest paid GM in the sport. Think about how this
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: isn't my this isn't pro sports. There's how many one
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty six of these guys right now, So
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: think about that, and he's the highest pain of all
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: those guys.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable, man, the spell that the uh and I don't
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: even know, I don't even know what powers it be.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: We're under the spell of Belichick. I mean, I know
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: it was it was some of the board like John Pryor,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: but like, it is unbelievable the spell they were under.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: The nil money we're gonna give you Bill you oh yeah,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you want your buddy to beat a GM, even though
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: he really didn't do much at the pro level, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: we have no idea if he can do anything in Ky, yeah,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: we'll make him the highest. It's just it is just crazy,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the spell that they were under. And if you know,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine missed it yesterday, but if you did.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi is currently on administrative leaf and there's an
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: investigation going on. I did read yesterday bone the bylaws
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: at UNC basically state that you know leave should not
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: go longer to month, so hopefully they can get some
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: sort of resolution on this in a month. And multiple
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: reports have said this is due to an HR complaint
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: filed by a former coworker of his in the front
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: office there, and that's what this stems to.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: But then Bone the hitwriter. He does love his typewriter,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: doesn't they.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: The hits kept on coming for Carolina football, and I
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: just feel horrible for Tar Heel fans that they are
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: at the y'all are living through this mess. But then
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: we found out yesterday multiple reports saying the College Sports Commission,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they are the new organization Bone that is supposed to be.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: They are trying, bless their hearts to police nil spending
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and nil deals where well, the reports are that that
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: group is investigating the tar Heels as well, so they've
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: got double whammies yesterday.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: And as multiple people tweeted out, it is really hard
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: to break NC DOUBLEA rules Mack at twenty twenty six,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: because we don't know what the rules are, so to
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: break NC DOUBLEA rules potentially, that's a really difficult thing
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: to do here. Look, Lombardi, I don't know who does
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: anyone champion Lombardy besides Belichick, no one in the sport
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: match celebrated someone getting fired yesterday or not fired, excuse me,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: administrative leave yesterday. The entire college football world, from media,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: former coaches, I mean, uh, UNC fans like there was.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I saw no one say, well, hang on, let's see
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: what happened here, let's let the process play out. No
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: one said that about Lombardi. Yes, I think we had
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: one text. Did we get one text or was it
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: one tweet?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I saw one tarhell fan trying to say, hey, let's
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: let this play out. The thing is here, here's the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: thing with Michael Lombardi. We don't know what happened and
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: what's caused the you know, the internal investigation, in the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: ministrative lever or whatever. But one thing we do know
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: is he got off to a horrendous start as the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: gm atar Hill football It's his responsibility to put together
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that roster, and that roster last year we saw it. Man,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it was ugly. It was absolutely ugly. And I remembered
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: at the time there was I think it was an
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Andy Staples article where he wrote he had a quote
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: from a Sun Belt coach or one of the group
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: of six coaches that said, yeah, I would have thought
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Line would be batt with all the nil money that
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: apparently was in Belicheck's contract. I thought they would be
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: battling power for schools. Instead they're battling us for recruits.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: It was just a weird. A lot of their targets
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: were weird last year. This offseason, Bone was better from
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: a high school recruiting standpoint, But in the transfer portal,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: they didn't get one four star according to twenty four
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: to seven. So they're supposed to have all this nil money,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: all this money they're spending, where is it going?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Is it all going to high school kids that hadn't
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: played yet? Is that the best way to invest it?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Because I haven't seen Like, if they have all this
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: nil money it's been reported to have, wouldn't you think
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that you'd be hearing about them battling for big dogs
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: with big program. I hadn't heard anything like that.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: How do you call yourself the thirty third NFL team
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: and this that's not only your product last year, but
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: to have no four stars in the year two, how
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: is that the thirty third NFL team? What? What NFL team?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Were you trying to be? The Windless Browns? Like what
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: from back in the day, like what NFL team or
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: that's also part of it, by the way. It's comments
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: like that. It's the arrogance. It's the entering the college
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: football world, like you're better than all these people, and
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I do have a question for you. And Andrew Forest
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: tweeted this out yesterday. He does a targeel baseball stuff,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: kind of like Fiddy and flound do yeah with basketball
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: and football. He said, Hey, remember John Pryor, who was
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: responsible for all this? Where's John Pryor? Now Matt gone.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: He's gone off the board. So they let him essentially
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: like Bogart Bubba's hiring process where he was interviewing John
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Summer all hell of a football coach really is and
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: looking at guys like that, and they let John Pryor
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: just override it and force in Belichick and then they
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: just said, hey, get off the board, Like how did
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: you allow him to take over the process.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: It's just it got It was a cluster f and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I hate it for the heels and heels fans. I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: will say this, fiddy and fairness. His high school recruiting
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: class has a bunch of four stars. What I was
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: talking about is the transfer portal. It's a bunch of
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: three stars, but there's no four stars on there. Their
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: recruiting class, by the way, for twenty is it twenty
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: twenty seven?
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: The next one, that one ain't looking the same, that
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: one's currently thirteenth in the ACC on twenty four to seven,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: fiftieth in the country, that one's not looking as good,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and then you throw in this is just more bad press,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: bad pr, more signs of dysfunction, more signs that the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: people in charge don't know what they're doing. This is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a bad look on Belichick because Belichick, this is his
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: right hand man that was given the most important job
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: other than his in football. This can't help recruiting. It
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: all fit, No, it cannot.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: And Mac, you're gotta combine to eleven and a half
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: million dollars invested in these two dudes, and there hasn't
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: been the results yet there to back it up when
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: you talk about the Lombardi of it all. To me,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: this was always gonna happen. I'm surprised it took this
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: long for this scumbag human being to get in trouble
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: to do something that would warrant something like this. Because Mack,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: he's not a good persons, not.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: A good dude. And so my issue was yesterday was
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: it's the week of camp.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Like we thought, we got through the off season and
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: we take the field in four days and this is
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: gonna hang over their heads.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Just before you start. And just when we thought y'all
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: had been pretty distraction free.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: And then, like you, that news yesterday broke fifteen years
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: to the day that they fired Butch Davis at ACC kickoff.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: As a Carolina football fan, there are two times you
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: should be worried when they take the field and then
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: late July, because that's when that's when bad stuff happens
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to this program. MAC Like, like July, you know you
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: have the Butch Davis stuff. Remember Larry Fedora made headlines
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: today a CC one year. Here we go, we get
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: through AC kickoff in a Belichick is pushing, Hey, we
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: got a better culture where we know each other better.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be a better football team. I'm starting to
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: believe in back there's a path to a bowl game.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: And then this happens.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah it sucks, man, And someone tweeted out yesterday one
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: of our listeners, has there ever been a program that
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: is so exciting in July? And so dull two months
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: later when the game started, and you know what, this
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: is not Mac on the surface, It's not shocking when
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: you think about it, because not only did in the NFL,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: did we think the game was starting to pass Belichick
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: by a little bit from maybe some antiquated ways of
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: going about stuff. Don't forget the people he's surrounded himself with.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Friends of Belichick often found themselves in different roles or
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: he brought them back in Matt Patricia back came back.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Wasn't he doing offensive work when he came back the
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: second time around?
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Like Matt they Belichick had him as the offensive coordinator.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he he It's the people he surrounds himself with. Also,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: he's loyalty with guys like Lombardi. He was a relationship
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: here for what we know. He's he's surrounded himself in
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: the latter part of his career with people that I
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: guess he trusts when he probably shouldn't, and Lombardi's been
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: with trust himself.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Does he even care? Does he care about this? Does
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: he care about what this could do to is to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: his legacy? Agains always gonna have the pro success, but
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: it will he is he has been a laughing stock
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and this won't help.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: And the thing I hold, and also all those coaches
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: that didn't succeed without Belichick, you always seemed to bring
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: him back in, right. They'd go off on the Roly McDaniels.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: They would again, he's a good offensive mind that I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: see what you're saying. The Lombardi thinks ridiculous. I mean,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: does Lombardi have some sort of pictures or some sort
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: of information that he can bribe Belichick with, because you're
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: just dragging him along like he just why on earth
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: did that guy deserve to be the highest paid GM
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Why on earth would Belichick say this is the guy
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: that would be my right hand man. It's just ridiculous.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: And maybe he made the complaint Belichick. Can you imagine
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: that hr Ohs got pictures of me and Jordan? It's
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: not really good. Another aspect of this. I'm gonna read
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: some text on this in a second. I mean, if
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: you're a tar heel hater.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: You're just dying laughing. You're on the ground rolling right now,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: kicking legs up in the air. But it's not just
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the tar heel haters, Mack. It was the whole in there,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and that's not just college. The football world had had
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: a field days, and that's what I want to get into.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: That's another thing that sucks, fitty. If you're a Tar
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Heel fan I don't need to tell you, is that
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: you have hired two people that are so arrogant and
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Bone brought this up earlier, that are so unlikable that
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the whole country is rooting against them, against them, the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: whole country is celebrating when things go badly for them,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and that sucks. I hate that for Tar Heel fans. Again,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: if you hate the tar Heels, you think this is
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: even funnier. And Bone brought it up. First of all,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: they were arrogant before they got two and unlikable before
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: they got to UNC. But when they got to UNC
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: and you start promising the thirty third NFL team and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you start acting like everybody that's given their life to
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: college football are just morons and we can go in
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: there in an instant, snap our fingers and be better
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: than you at your jobs. They I guarantee you the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: college football world did not like that at all. And
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: so yes, there is a glee. There is like a
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: party every time something goes wrong. How about the other
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: thing too. How about how about Lombardi and Belichick keeping
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the Patriot scouts out? Oh yeah, that's another thing. I mean,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: it's just the scouting community doesn't lie. I mean, it's
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: just who you said it. Who likes either one of
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: these two people? Man, Jordan Hudson likes one of them,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: But who the heck else likes likes these two people?
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: In NFL's success is one thing, But is that going
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to want to draw in the talent that they thought
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: it was going to draw in? Because there's a certain
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: personality that a lot of the college football coaches have.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: They try to relate, uh to the younger player. There's
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: an energy mac. This is more on the Belichick stough,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: but it's all relative. There's an energy at Look at
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the way Beemer is on the sidelines, look at doubt,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: look at the the names in college football and the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: coaches and in their the way they carry themselves. What
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: young person says, yeah, I want to go play for it?
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: He doesn't really. If you're a young person, you're drawn
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to so many others. Does he care? He doesn't look
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: like someone that cares. Uh, And I never thought I'd
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: say that about Bill Belichick. Plus the dysfunction. That's can't
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: be something that people want to sign up for. But
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: they supposedly have a ton of ani ow money, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: let's face it, that has become maybe the most important
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: part of recruiting. But I just don't know which players
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: are getting the big nil money. Let's it's like when
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: we thought Michael Jordan was gonna bring in all the
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: free agents in.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's very similar.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Oh god, I remember those days, how naive we were.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Let's read some of these texts. Carolina Brink says, Fitty
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: there was a path to a bowl, all right, a
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: path to the toilet bowl. Hashtag get rid of bill uh.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Let's see here meeting Gravy says not just two hable people,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: but as bad as last year was off the field,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to improve things, they went out and hired mister class
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: himself and Poppy Petrino.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, that who maybe stands to benefit the
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: most off something if they were to act upon this
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: mac and make a decision, or maybe like if if
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: they move off a Lombardi, maybe Belichick just steps down
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: because they're kind of like a they're like a couple
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: of this one. They're a package deal, like could you
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: imagine neck brace Petrino leading this team on the field
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: because of Lombardi's action, Well.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: That could also be Patrino trying to take this down
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: from the inside. He could be the one that he's
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: going to try to get rid of him and Belichick
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: and get his own and he rode his motorcycle right
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: on over Lombardi. That's the next episode of this is Patrino.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Patrino made the complaint I PA and A a good
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: friend of mine's an NFL scout, has been telling me
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: bad things.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: About Lombardi for a year. Yeah, you've had this vibe
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: around him. He has been polarizing at best for years.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: At best, right, he's just gruff. He's just ornery.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: You know. The only thing he's really been successful at.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not even trying to be funny here when you
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: look at his football wife and all that liked. He
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: did a good job at vieson when he was like
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: a host there. People seem to enjoy him on there,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: But like other stuff, he's not been successful. A. No,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: he was good in the immediate escape. I guess yeah, I.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Think he's better at that hot dog condiment says what
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: a bleep show from unc. I love it. Let's see here,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: buck eye, Dave Carolina is going to Carolina. Duke would
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: never Duke is an upstanding program. There you go, bone
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: buck eyed Dave signing with your blue devils about that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting alliance about that. Yeah, we didn't see
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: that coming.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of the Buckeyes, did you have
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: you have you seen the whole Ward Manual?
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: You know situa a parting gifts that he's getting. Oh yeah,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: so how the heck do they do an investigation into
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the umpteen scandals that have been there when Ward Manual
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: has been running the athletic department. Harball got in trouble
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Connor Stallions, then you have Sharon Moore in that nasty,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: ugly situation. And that's why I believe they were getting
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: rid of him, right, But he's so can you not
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: fire him for cause? Then no, they're paying him seven
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: point one million dollars to go bye bye. I thought,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I thought, like, can you not like fire him without
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: having to pay him? Since the whole point is, look
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: at all these scandals on your watch, Like my god,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: like you're rewarding the dude.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: It's crazy. I mean, I guess is it is? It
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Does it tie into the fact that even though he
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: had all these scandals, they won big in both the
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: reverendend sports. They they won a championship with football and basketball.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: So despite how it's ended and how it's gone that
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: they did win two titles on his watch, they did.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: But why did they want him out? Well because of scandal.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm just saying if you want him out,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know, man, I don't get it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. But anyway, God God bless him.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: J C. Horn up early. Did you see him give me?
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Looking through the hall him give you the point?
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't know.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: He pointed to Well, No, I pointed to him. I
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: didn't say he pointed back. I said, did you see
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: him give you the point? Because I gave him the point?
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, there was. There wasn't a point there.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: You wanted that game cock gamecock to Gamecock? I love.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I gave him the point. He knows, he knows
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: what he knows. I shouldn't give him the seatbelt the seatbelt.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, how can I suck at my job? Well, I
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: know how to suck at my job. How can I
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: suck at my job and get seven point one million dollars.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Think about it, how can I get that?
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Think about the teams of Ward, Manuel and Lombardy. Ward
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Manual paid to go away, and so was Lombardi. He's
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: on paid leave as well. It wasn't that. It wasn't
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: that packers old dream back to be suspended with pay.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, suspended with pay is good. I don't know if
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: that's gonna last long for Lombardi though, bout I have
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: a feeling this suspension could turn himself. What were you
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: saying that? Rick Neuheisel and Dan Patrick on their radio
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: show were intimating that this is bad.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: What they heard what's going on is bad. I heard
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: saw someone put it out there. New Heizel said he
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: can't uh talk about what it is, but he's he's done,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: and then Dan Patrick said disturbing was the worst. Yeah,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: so it's more than it's more than what some people
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: thought of, like an Instagram post, which was the thing.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: That's what Joe Gillio was saying, it's more AI slop
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: or something. If it's disturbing, and he's gone like, it's more,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: it's more than that. Well, we don't want to say,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: we don't know, but it can't just be like liking
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: some nefarious instagram we got.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: We got a big update here. Fiddy's head is completely dry.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Well do you do you answer that the air conditioning
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: is running and Fitty's head as dry as Kenny?
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Do?
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: I hear?
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Math?
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: That's all I hear. When we come back Curry to
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: the Hornets, speculation goes national. Are we buying into the
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: idea and the real possibility that Steph Curry's coming home?
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio?
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think that Steph Curry ultimately finishes
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: his career with the Warriors. That said, I think right
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: now today is the first time it is justifiable to
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: entertain the conversation about him going back home to Charlotte,
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: not because he will, not because he will, and not
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: because the trade will be made, but simply because the
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: Charlotte Hornets arguably had the single best offseason non Lebron
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: James or Giannis or Jalen Brown related.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Of any team in the league.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: They are loaded with draft picks, they are loaded with
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: contracts of players that another team would want to have
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: come in to ultimately not be there, And they have
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: players in Brandon Miller Concitivle that maybe Steph would say,
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: I can see myself mentoring those two on the way out.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Let me be clear, I do not think it's going
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: to happen, but I think because the Warriors have missed
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: out on everyone, it is justifiable today to at least
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: have the conversation and say, could that ever happen without
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Wendy laughing at me?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety two seven wfn Z Mackett Bone with you.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: That's Evan Cohen. Wendy did follow up and say, I'm
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: not laughing.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not laughing at Charlotte Hornet's acquiring hometown kid, Steph
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Curry Bone. This has been a topic for years. This
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: has been a Hornets fan dream for years, and listen,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Steph has definitely played his role in fostering along at times,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: you know, mentioning you know, it would be kind of cool.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: There was the moment where Dell had mentioned that, you know,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: when he's getting his jersey retire that I did tell Steph,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: if he plays here, he can have thirty even though
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: we're retiring thirty. So things like that did always like
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: make us wonder well. Now the national media, for the
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: first time ever, is involved in speculating this stems from
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry's situation in Golden State. They don't get Lebron
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and it just feels like they're about due for a
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: hit of the reset button. And there was the report
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: that Steph Curry is not necessarily happy with where this
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: thing is headed. He's in his final year of is
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: one year on his contract sixty two million, and now, Boney,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: it's not just Hornets fans on social media or texting WFNZ,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: it's the national media wondering would this actually happen? What
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: do you think about all this?
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I think it's cool that the
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Hornets are at least still in discussions on a national
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: level for a great player like that. It's the continued
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: thing we saw last year where the Hornets are relevant
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: in a lot of ways, more than we've seen in
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: our time here. But you brought up the one year thing,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: which is very important here. Steph Curry has one year
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: left on his deal? How many good years mac at
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: a maybe not his highest level, but a extremely high level.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Do you think Steph Curry has left three four something
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: like that? Two three? But if you think season, but
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: if you think it's more than one season, we think
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: it's more than one, right, if you think it's more
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: than Yes, if you think it's more than one, why
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: would you give up picks and assets for that? When
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: if it means so much to him to come back here,
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: you could get him in a year without giving up anything.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was my thought is think if he really
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: wants to be here, if you think come home, let's
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: make it happen. In freeing, you.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Thought he had one year left, that's one thing at
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: an extremely high level. But if you think he can
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: play an extended time a couple of seasons like Steph
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Curry can, then no, I do not want Steph Curry.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: I don't want to work in all these assets, all
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: this building for the future, which has been so wauded
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: by everybody in the basketball world, and then give it
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: up because that goes campletely against what the Jeff Peterson
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: mindset and will hurt exactly.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Like listen, can I do I think it's gonna be?
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Do I think it would be fun? Steph Brandon and Khan,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Steph and conn together, like seriously, like con Get gets
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: compared to Clay Let's just there we go, Sprass brothers
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: two point oh like Kobe fourth guard is that although
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: you wonder would Kobe White be involved in a trade back,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: would Kobe White be happy? You know, if you if
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: you told me he's the starter game is did But anyway, yeah,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: it could be fun. But you just said it at
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the end there, Like we, Jeff Peterson has been accumulating
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: assets and he wants to strike when it's time, cash
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: those assets in when it's time. And what does he
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: want to do? Sustain success, not just get good for
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: a short period of time, but sustained success. Kevin O'Connor
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: was on his podcast, longtime NBA writer, talking about a
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: package of like Grant Williams and Grayson Allen, like you,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: all these salary guys to try to build the salary up.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Kobe White another guy, guess could be under consideration to trade.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: And then he was talking about giving away a bunch
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: of first round picks. Why would we if we want
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: to sustain success after we cash in our chips for
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: a big dog? Why as much as I love the
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: storyline of Steph in his hometown, why would we go
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: after a thirty eight year old big dog when you
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: want to sust That's not a sustained success move.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, it's not especially in this
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Eastern Conference. That would be a great team to watch,
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: but they're still going to be in the loaded Eastern Conference.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: And do you want to be like the other teams
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: and go for it now or do you want to
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: on the back end of this thing when all those
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: teams might end up in financial trouble or they've got
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: to tear their teams down. Then all of a sudden,
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: the Hornets, Oh yeah, we have all these assets. We're
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: going to be the team that capitalizes now on these
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: teams falling back. It would be fun. It's just not
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: to be. It's not financially responsible. Also, when you traded Mellow,
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: that told the world that right now you have a
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: deep belief in Brandon Miller, in kop and along the
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: way you'll catch in that trade chip. But don't you
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: kind of want to see how Brandon and Kahn do
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: without Mellow for a while before you throw them to
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: secondary roles again. Yeah, let's let's see them play. What's
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: you You put a lot of faith in them. Let's
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: see that play out for a little bit. If it works,
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: doesn't work, it's whatever, we'll see. I think it does.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: But you put faith in them. Let's le's that play
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: out for one. I think that's a good point. You
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: want to are you gonna get Brandon Miller a huge deal?
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: What'd be the guy?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Let's see, Yeah, Let's let's let him create more offense,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Let's get the ball in CON's hands a little more.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Let's see what they can do and who they need
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: with them, right, like what type of player do they
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: need with him? And so I think that's a good
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: point too. It's just again, Uh, Steph, I will say this,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: if you want to sign for about twenty million dollars
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: next year as a free agent, you know what I mean?
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Two year forty because Lebron just signed two years eight,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: So that I would That's the thing with Steph, Like,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: that's sixty two million right now? How about we get
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: him on a hometown discount contract that sort of thing, honestly,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: because his age doesn't align with us and our slow
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: burn rebuild. Really I don't think it does. So that's
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the way I would bring him when his contract's up,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: if you can do something like that. But I don't
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: know would he want to be home that bad? Or
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: would he say no, I'm gonna chase more. Mind?
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you know, if only, in fact,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: there was an intermediary between Steph and the team that
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: could then awart Steph, Hey, hang tight, don't don't You
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: don't want this now, come cheaper and then the team
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: can be good with you, right, don't don't spend? That
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: would be mister del Curry got that. No, you might
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: want to tell Steph, hey, just better. It's better to
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: do it in a year rather than now.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and again, I don't know if he
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: would even want to do that. I don't know if
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: he would see somewhere else so a better chance to
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: win one more, you know what I mean. There's all
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: these factors, but it's just what we've been doing all along.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Like any other thirty eight year old, this wouldn't even
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: be a conversation. It's a conversation because of our deep
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: in our loins, we covet Steph Curry in the thirty
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Hornets Jersey, like, do you know what I mean? Deep
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: inside of us bone we want it so eff and
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: badly because you can't tell me any other thirty eight
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: year old, and Hornets fans would be dis excited, you know,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: because it doesn't fit the timeline of what's going on.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: But it's a good it's it's interesting to talk about
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: and it is interesting if the national media has now
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: started to connect the Dodgs and even Walker Mail mister logical,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: big ol'd Walk Brenner himself, Bone has gone out there
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: and said he is very tempted by this. I cannot
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: believe even Walker is lowered in by the romance of
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry playing in Charlotte.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll throw this to Walker. What if the mousa
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: got thrown in the deal, Moose, Yeah, then he'd be out. Oh,
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: he'd be out, man, It'd be over.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: That be over.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: We have a ton of Pinder interviews today for stop
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: a man we've talked about a lot even before the
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: news last week. Left tackle right tackle for now Monroe Freeway,
