- 1:16Speaker 4: on Friday night. We'll talk a ton about that today.
- 1:18Speaker 4: What stood out from FanFest on Friday night. We have
- 1:22Speaker 4: all kinds of college football happenings, whether it's the courtroom
- 1:28Speaker 4: and rulings on fifth years of eligibility, whether it's the
- 1:31Speaker 4: big ten in the SEC finally saying okay, we'll agree
- 1:35Speaker 4: to that bill, give it a shot, or whether it's
- 1:39Speaker 4: Michael Lombardi lawyering up there. There's all kind of headlines
- 1:42Speaker 4: away from the field and courts in college sports, so
- 1:46Speaker 4: we'll talk about that as well. Charlotte, f see you
- 1:49Speaker 4: what have lost braves with an active weekend four game
- 1:52Speaker 4: sweep of Washington and two trades. We'll talk about that
- 1:56Speaker 4: as well here on the Mac and Bone Show, and
- 1:59Speaker 4: we begin and Luke Week here on the Mac and
- 2:02Speaker 4: Bone Show on WFNZ, salutes to Luke Keigley all week long.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Before he goes into the hall on Saturday. Today, we
- 2:09Speaker 4: hear from his former Panther teammak Erk Coleman and his
- 2:13Speaker 4: high school coach in Ohio, Steve Speck. So Luke Week
- 2:17Speaker 4: begins on on WFNZ. Bone Man, it's right up there
- 2:22Speaker 4: with Shark Week. Baby, Luke Week, what's.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Going Good morning to you, Good morning to Fiddy, good
- 2:27Speaker 3: morning to all. Pleasure to be here, God here safe
- 2:30Speaker 3: and sound this morning. For the most part, I'm glad
- 2:33Speaker 3: to avoid that tree in the road.
- 2:36Speaker 1: So I'm good. I'm good.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Now I'm fine, I'm okay. Right in the middle of
- 2:39Speaker 3: my path this morning in Mooresville, right before the en ramp,
- 2:43Speaker 3: there's a there's a tree down. I did not see
- 2:45Speaker 3: it until the last minute. Nearly drove into That would
- 2:48Speaker 3: have been embarrassing in the middle of the road. I nearly
- 2:50Speaker 3: drove into the tree.
- 2:54Speaker 1: That would have been quite a story.
- 2:55Speaker 3: In fairness, the car in front of me, I could
- 2:57Speaker 3: not see it, and he darted out of the way
- 2:59Speaker 3: at the last second. Kid, So next thing I know,
- 3:01Speaker 3: it's me versus tree, me versus tree. Rollins looking up, kids,
- 3:04Speaker 3: you would not wanted to paint. You would not have
- 3:06Speaker 3: won that battle. I have a feeling no want them
- 3:10Speaker 3: to drive into a tree on the side of the
- 3:12Speaker 3: road in its own environment. If I drove, like into
- 3:14Speaker 3: a tree on the highway, that's a problem. Have been
- 3:18Speaker 3: an issue, all right.
- 3:19Speaker 4: I always feel like I always feel like we're good
- 3:22Speaker 4: early in the show for bones morning travel update. Whether
- 3:26Speaker 4: it's a guy that you know you are upset with
- 3:30Speaker 4: on the highways or whether it's a tree that might
- 3:32Speaker 4: be lying down in the road, I feel like, you know,
- 3:34Speaker 4: I feel like we're gonna we're gonna get an update
- 3:36Speaker 4: every morning, and it's never my own fault. Ever, No,
- 3:38Speaker 4: couldn't be, could not be at all. We all, right,
- 3:43Speaker 4: before we get to what has happened since Friday night,
- 3:47Speaker 4: We've got Charlotte FC, we got the Brads. It was
- 3:50Speaker 4: a pretty light weekend. I will say it's fine a
- 3:52Speaker 4: weekend of no football. Panthers would be in action on Thursday,
- 3:57Speaker 4: and then we got football every day.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Silliness was going on this weekend, from anthems to Ben
- 4:05Speaker 3: McDonald of the Orioles having a weird thing happening with
- 4:07Speaker 3: his uh his take. There's a lot of weirdness in
- 4:10Speaker 3: the air this, but not a whole lot of like actual.
- 4:12Speaker 3: I mean, I shouldn't say that baseball was in full swing.
- 4:16Speaker 3: No NASCAR Baseball played this weekend. I wouldn't know all
- 4:21Speaker 3: Fitty thought was going on this weekends, his Mets trading
- 4:24Speaker 3: players away. How do you suck so bad and you
- 4:26Speaker 3: have that many players people want? Anyway, I digress. Fan
- 4:30Speaker 3: Fest on Friday night. We went to fan Fest. We
- 4:34Speaker 3: experienced it. Forty seven thousand plus a great crowd for FanFest.
- 4:39Speaker 3: What did you think bony a fan Fest on Friday night? Obviously,
- 4:43Speaker 3: sometimes the takeaways they're not going through what we deem
- 4:47Speaker 3: a normal, say, training camp practice. But my main takeaway
- 4:50Speaker 3: was the environment was awesome. The fans are juiced, maybe
- 4:54Speaker 3: in part because they can't see the team might it
- 4:56Speaker 3: didn't Spartanburg. It's a cheap ticket, so a lot of
- 5:00Speaker 3: people can maybe afford to watch it that normally couldn't
- 5:04Speaker 3: watch a regular game. But just the energy and the
- 5:07Speaker 3: juice of the environment felt like people are ready for
- 5:11Speaker 3: this team, ready for the season. We've been at fan
- 5:13Speaker 3: fest before where we kind of look out there and say, oh,
- 5:16Speaker 3: this is boy, this will really be something this year,
- 5:19Speaker 3: knowing that it's not going to be very good. I
- 5:22Speaker 3: feel like this team right now is in the good
- 5:25Speaker 3: graces of a lot of fans.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. Yeah, That's why I'm basically asking about.
- 5:29Speaker 3: I mean, we'll get into the details of who threw this,
- 5:32Speaker 3: who caught this, who picked off this, all that stuff.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Why did the Panthers use one of my plays I suggested,
- 5:37Speaker 3: and why didn't backfire badly?
- 5:39Speaker 4: Like, we'll get into all that stuff. I was just
- 5:41Speaker 4: talking about, like our our night out, like our experience.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I had an amazing driver for the night.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I hired a driver fornight, Fitty Marlow offered to pick
- 5:50Speaker 4: me up.
- 5:51Speaker 3: That was beautiful. So I got a little IPA's in
- 5:54Speaker 3: the system. Didn't have to worry about anything else. So
- 5:56Speaker 3: you met Warren's, our uber driver. So he was great too,
- 6:00Speaker 3: He was, he was. He was tremendous as well.
- 6:03Speaker 4: You know you are lazy when you uber from Fremont
- 6:06Speaker 4: Tavern to the stadium, Like, seriously, how old and lazy
- 6:10Speaker 4: are we?
- 6:11Speaker 1: Bow? Did I I oft?
- 6:14Speaker 3: On the way back, baby, I was having conversations like
- 6:17Speaker 3: I was the dad and the progressive commercial with our
- 6:19Speaker 3: guy Warrens. So warrens how a like we're doing this
- 6:21Speaker 3: for hi. I watch out, buddy, you gotta you got
- 6:23Speaker 3: some wild turkey up here on the left coming this way.
- 6:26Speaker 1: When we got out of.
- 6:27Speaker 3: The uber, I gave the guy a tip of the hat,
- 6:29Speaker 3: took my hat off, like he just sang the national anthem.
- 6:32Speaker 4: A boat is kind of like a socially awkward guy
- 6:34Speaker 4: in a sitcom Fitty sometimes, isn't he?
- 6:38Speaker 5: Well, we all three kinds of are. I was just
- 6:42Speaker 5: impressed by the music chores when we got into When
- 6:44Speaker 5: we got into the vehicle, our man was jamming and
- 6:49Speaker 5: we could hear the music outside the vehicle standing on
- 6:52Speaker 5: the road on the side of the street. I don't
- 6:54Speaker 5: know what he was listening to, but he was having
- 6:57Speaker 5: himself a good old time.
- 7:00Speaker 4: It was like some easy listening stuff from the eighties.
- 7:02Speaker 4: Was it Brian Adams.
- 7:05Speaker 3: I think it wasn't Brian Adams something it was something
- 7:08Speaker 3: like Brian Adams was Yeah, we got.
- 7:10Speaker 4: To meet the lovely lady Tara in Bon's life. I
- 7:13Speaker 4: didn't fully get to ask her why she is with
- 7:16Speaker 4: Bone and if she needs assistance getting away from him.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I haven't asked that. She thought you guys were tremendous.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Thought Fitty was the ultimate gentleman, and she was impressed
- 7:26Speaker 3: by Max just overall stature as a man.
- 7:31Speaker 1: It's hilarious. I love two descriptions. It was two descriptions
- 7:37Speaker 1: of me and Fiddy. They're uplifting man.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Later on in the show we will get into what
- 7:42Speaker 3: impressed Fiddy the most about you the other night. You
- 7:46Speaker 3: have a defined skill above all others, Fitty was.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Talking about me.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Yep, oh shoot, we will get into that later on.
- 7:53Speaker 3: I'll give a simple hit here. Your ability to eat
- 7:55Speaker 3: chicken wings is oh. Yeah.
- 7:57Speaker 1: He was marveling at that. He definitely was.
- 8:00Speaker 3: It just comes natural, So it was just natural. Chicken
- 8:03Speaker 3: wing eaters. Fitty, you know, never made. It's just little
- 8:06Speaker 3: old me. It's like watching Tony Gwynn hit.
- 8:11Speaker 4: But Fitty and I thought bone You and Sarah have
- 8:13Speaker 4: cute couple energy, you know what I mean.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a cute couple. Yeah, really big panther fan.
- 8:19Speaker 3: She gets into it, so that's awesome. We we will
- 8:22Speaker 3: be at the uh We're gonna go to a game
- 8:24Speaker 3: this year. I think it will be UH watch. I
- 8:27Speaker 3: know it'll be. I chose to go at probably a
- 8:29Speaker 3: topic at some point of what game do you most
- 8:32Speaker 3: want to go to? Yeah, I chose because of the
- 8:34Speaker 3: time of the year. It won't be hot, it won't
- 8:36Speaker 3: be too cold. I will be taking her to the
- 8:38Speaker 3: Denver game in November. Kind of a team that doesn't
- 8:42Speaker 3: come here a whole lot. Get the boot, Sean Payton.
- 8:44Speaker 3: I see the Bucks that had Saints I feel all
- 8:46Speaker 3: the time, which is fine, But I wanted to see
- 8:48Speaker 3: a team I haven't seen a whole lot, So I
- 8:50Speaker 3: chose Denver as the game.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I'm buying tickets.
- 8:53Speaker 4: All right, Shoot, based on your track record with your
- 8:55Speaker 4: football team's last year, we should We chalked that one
- 8:57Speaker 4: down as it l you might be seeing Taysom Hill.
- 9:00Speaker 3: That was a very predictable development. But over the weekend
- 9:04Speaker 3: I definitely read that Denver and Sean Payton are interested
- 9:07Speaker 3: in reuniting with Taysom Hill, which so I said the
- 9:11Speaker 3: other day, we're done with them, Might not be fully
- 9:14Speaker 3: done with them, might have that, might have a game
- 9:16Speaker 3: against old Taysom Hill and Denver this season. All right,
- 9:20Speaker 3: so let's move on to stuff that happened this weekend.
- 9:23Speaker 3: MLB trade deadline tonight at six o'clock and Braves fans,
- 9:29Speaker 3: first of all, they're back. Their mojo is backbone completely.
- 9:34Speaker 3: They finished off a four game sweep of the Nationals yesterday.
- 9:40Speaker 3: They are now twelve and five since the All Star break.
- 9:44Speaker 3: So now if Braves fans want to send text in saying, man,
- 9:48Speaker 3: you guys think you guys overreacting, You guys are a
- 9:50Speaker 3: little word they I feel like they have completely bounced
- 9:54Speaker 3: back bone from that bad stretch pre All Star break
- 9:58Speaker 3: and they are themselves again. So they got four wins
- 10:03Speaker 3: total in that series over the weekend, and they also
- 10:06Speaker 3: made two trades, not the sexiest trades in the world,
- 10:11Speaker 3: I know. The Braves fans are waiting on a big
- 10:13Speaker 3: name frontline starter, and maybe that still happens. But they
- 10:18Speaker 3: were active this weekend, dealing too bony.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:21Speaker 3: No, we said at the time that no team needed
- 10:24Speaker 3: the All Star Break, perhaps more than the Braves, not
- 10:28Speaker 3: only to get themselves back on track, but to cool
- 10:31Speaker 3: down the teams behind them that put on that surge. Well,
- 10:35Speaker 3: since then, the Marlins have fallen way back. They were
- 10:38Speaker 3: three out at one point. The Phillies are now eight backs.
- 10:41Speaker 3: So the Braves have again separated from the rest of
- 10:44Speaker 3: the pack. I feel like back every time I woke up.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Matt Olsen's watching a home run fly right now. He's
- 10:50Speaker 3: got thirty one on the year, but it feels like
- 10:53Speaker 3: lately almost it's a guarantee that Matt Olson's knocking the
- 10:56Speaker 3: ball out of.
- 10:57Speaker 1: The ard Homard.
- 10:58Speaker 3: Saturday night, him and Acuna went back to back to
- 11:00Speaker 3: start the game, and then he homered yesterday as well.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Yastremsky's back healthy. He hit a two run homer yesterday
- 11:07Speaker 3: for the Braise boltpen five innings of no hit baseball
- 11:12Speaker 3: last night he got yesterday. Nelson's got four homers in
- 11:15Speaker 3: the last seven days. Last week there you go, all right,
- 11:18Speaker 3: the trades.
- 11:18Speaker 4: I tried to set you up for the trades, Bones,
- 11:20Speaker 4: so that I did not have to read off the details.
- 11:23Speaker 4: But I will read off the details here, all right.
- 11:27Speaker 4: I tried to set you up like maybe Bone can
- 11:29Speaker 4: explain who these players are, because it wasn't exactly Bone.
- 11:32Speaker 4: They didn't exactly do what the Dodgers did this weekend.
- 11:36Speaker 4: The Braids made a trade on Saturday to get outfielder
- 11:41Speaker 4: Lane Thomas and left hand reliever Bailey Falter from the Royals.
- 11:46Speaker 4: They gave up Lucas Braun, who is their number eight prospect,
- 11:50Speaker 4: right hand pitcher, and left hand pitcher Carter Holton to
- 11:54Speaker 4: do that, so they get a lefty they can use
- 11:57Speaker 4: out of the pen. Lane Thomas is a guy basically
- 12:01Speaker 4: that can right hand hitter that can play against lefties,
- 12:03Speaker 4: as I understand the rationale behind that move. Then yesterday
- 12:08Speaker 4: the Braves made a trade for a starting pitcher. Now
- 12:11Speaker 4: this one is not exactly being met with excitement boned
- 12:15Speaker 4: by Braves fans, but Alexanthopolis GM did say, you know,
- 12:21Speaker 4: who knows, maybe there maybe there's a bigger starter that
- 12:24Speaker 4: we go after they deal with the Giants for Tyler Molly.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Is that how I say, is Elly Malle Tyler Malley?
- 12:34Speaker 4: Who uh has the big conversation with the Braves fans
- 12:37Speaker 4: is this dude has a five point one three era?
- 12:41Speaker 3: Yeah, and Christians are kind of like, let's what do
- 12:44Speaker 3: we get? Ten year vet career era four point one nine.
- 12:48Speaker 3: The one really outstanding year was last year where he
- 12:52Speaker 3: went six and four for Texas with a two point
- 12:56Speaker 3: one eight and sixteen stars. This year he fell back.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Who honestly the worst at he's been normally? Is he
- 13:03Speaker 3: or a fall somewhere in the four range like his
- 13:06Speaker 3: career average suggests he's forty two and fifty five?
- 13:10Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:10Speaker 3: I mean if they can somehow do what the Braves
- 13:13Speaker 3: can do and bottle him and get the best out
- 13:16Speaker 3: of him, he becomes an extra arm But I mean,
- 13:18Speaker 3: who who really.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Knows where he is?
- 13:21Speaker 3: Is he more? Is he more this guy or last year?
- 13:25Speaker 3: It feels like he's probably more like the guy that
- 13:28Speaker 3: is over five than the two point one a last
- 13:30Speaker 3: year based off the track record of ten years. Yeah,
- 13:33Speaker 3: I mean, it sure seems like it was the aberration.
- 13:35Speaker 3: He'll slot into the rotation they I mean, they use
- 13:40Speaker 3: Richie yesterday, They've been kind of using him. He only
- 13:42Speaker 3: gave him four plus endings yesterday, so he at least
- 13:45Speaker 3: slots into the rotation. But I think I don't blame
- 13:49Speaker 3: Braves fans for feeling like that's that's that's our starting pitcher.
- 13:53Speaker 3: And let's be honest, I think we all bone had
- 13:56Speaker 3: There's a lot of starting pictures out there. The Cubs
- 13:58Speaker 3: just got Kevin Gossman from the Blue Jay. Don't you
- 14:01Speaker 3: think we were all thinking of something better than this? Yeah,
- 14:04Speaker 3: and maybe they will, Maybe there's another move for another starter.
- 14:07Speaker 3: They got a link to Sonny Gray there for a
- 14:09Speaker 3: little while until Balston had one of the best Jalies
- 14:12Speaker 3: in recent memory in baseball and the best Jely in
- 14:14Speaker 3: franchise history. So obviously the Red Sox are no longer
- 14:18Speaker 3: trading Sonny Gray. Here's the thing with a guy like
- 14:21Speaker 3: Maley McK and howard operates now with twenty twenty six.
- 14:24Speaker 3: If he gets in there towards the end of the
- 14:26Speaker 3: year at all, even into the postseason, I don't know.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Can he just give them four innings? Can he give
- 14:32Speaker 3: them four and two thirds? Can he get five? You
- 14:34Speaker 3: no longer are asking a lot of these arms to
- 14:37Speaker 3: even go that far. Into the games. Can he just
- 14:40Speaker 3: give them some innings there? And I guess that's what
- 14:43Speaker 3: they're trying to bank on. Can he just do enough
- 14:46Speaker 3: here to give us something? That's what you're looking for
- 14:49Speaker 3: in some of these pictures these days. It's weird how
- 14:51Speaker 3: it operates now. But can you give the Braves five
- 14:53Speaker 3: innings and you go from there?
- 14:54Speaker 4: Well, that's the whole article on MLB dot com is
- 14:57Speaker 4: that Braves are in need of innings. They had Sale
- 15:00Speaker 4: and Bryce Elder have completed six or more innings thirteen times.
- 15:04Speaker 4: The rest of the staff of guys who have started
- 15:06Speaker 4: games twelve, they don't have innings eaters at all outside
- 15:09Speaker 4: of two. So yeah, So I mean again, like this dude,
- 15:13Speaker 4: get this dude goes five and two thirds and gives
- 15:15Speaker 4: up four runs, you know, four runs, three run.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I think I think that's part of it there too.
- 15:21Speaker 4: I don't know if it matters every all your baseball
- 15:24Speaker 4: teams probably don't matter, because I feel like the World
- 15:27Speaker 4: Series bone was one on Saturday Night when the Dodgers
- 15:31Speaker 4: traded for Terrek Scuble, like it's their rotation. When Tyler
- 15:35Speaker 4: Glass now is your fifth starter, you have an embarrassment
- 15:38Speaker 4: of riches man, I mean, they've already had an embarrassment
- 15:41Speaker 4: of riches. And I was listening to talk about, you know,
- 15:45Speaker 4: the prospects that they sent. They sent three prospects to Detroit.
- 15:51Speaker 4: They are like, where are they not loaded?
- 15:53Speaker 1: Bone?
- 15:54Speaker 3: They're major league rosters loaded. They're loaded with money to spend.
- 15:57Speaker 3: And Scooble is a free agent. But the Dodgers, of anyone,
- 16:00Speaker 3: can pay to keep them. They can pay to keep them.
- 16:02Speaker 4: But their farm system is so rich with prospects, so
- 16:06Speaker 4: when they make trades like this, they have so many
- 16:08Speaker 4: freaking like it's just ridiculous.
- 16:11Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
- 16:12Speaker 3: And then we know that Schooble's on a rental, but
- 16:16Speaker 3: is he really going to be a rental or he
- 16:18Speaker 3: ultimately just go signed with the Dodgers. It's probably where
- 16:22Speaker 3: it ends up.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Mack.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Here's a few more names that are out there. Picture wise,
- 16:26Speaker 3: I'm reading ESPN dot COM's top one hundred players available.
- 16:30Speaker 3: So the next picture up in terms of the best
- 16:33Speaker 3: guy now that Schooble's gone, George Kirby of the Mariners
- 16:37Speaker 3: is a guy they already trade Castillo. They may trade
- 16:40Speaker 3: two starters. Yeah, he's other team controlled through twenty twenty eight.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Then you can move down a little bit. The number
- 16:45Speaker 3: nine overall player on this list read Detmers, Lefty from
- 16:49Speaker 3: the Angels. We have. Clay Holmes of the Mets is
- 16:52Speaker 3: number eleven on the list you mentioned Goffman's already. Uh,
- 16:55Speaker 3: it's a lot of relief pitchers in here. Foster Griffin
- 16:58Speaker 3: of the of the Nationals is available because they traded
- 17:01Speaker 3: well we Scarcia one of their best bats to the
- 17:03Speaker 3: Yankees yesterday. So yeah, those are some of the guys.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Casey Myes of the Tigers. Uh. Obviously if they're selling
- 17:11Speaker 3: off Scooble, then Myz could go to. So there's some
- 17:14Speaker 3: names there, George Kirby being the biggest name of the
- 17:18Speaker 3: of the bunch for the brace potentially.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. We'll see if they end up doing
- 17:22Speaker 1: something else.
- 17:22Speaker 4: The Dodger thing, I mean, I don't even have a
- 17:26Speaker 4: team bone that is going to be in the playoffs,
- 17:28Speaker 4: and the Dodger thing isn't I roll for me.
- 17:31Speaker 3: It's just it's absurd. I'm reading, I'm not absurd. I
- 17:36Speaker 3: have a question for you Mac on this list here.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Adlie Rushman's on there from the Orioles as a traded
- 17:40Speaker 3: guy potentially, U. I know that's been in the works
- 17:43Speaker 3: there a little bit. Also on this list at number
- 17:46Speaker 3: eighteen is Jackson Holliday. Are Orioles already.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Thinking of it?
- 17:49Speaker 3: No, I didn't think hot lately. I didn't think that.
- 17:52Speaker 3: I didn't think that he would be a name to
- 17:54Speaker 3: that shouldn't happen anyway, I don't. I don't know. It's
- 17:58Speaker 3: football season, to be honest with you, it's e fan
- 18:01Speaker 3: football season. But I just wanted we just wanted to
- 18:03Speaker 3: give you the details here on the braves. I want
- 18:05Speaker 3: to talk to Charlotte FC as well, Discippoint. I mean,
- 18:10Speaker 3: if you would tell me I would have taken a draw,
- 18:12Speaker 3: like going into the game against Chicago on the road,
- 18:15Speaker 3: as good as they are, I would have they were
- 18:18Speaker 3: fourth in the East, we were six kniees.
- 18:19Speaker 1: I would have taken a draw.
- 18:21Speaker 4: I got excited as hell bone when pet bl roofed
- 18:24Speaker 4: that goal and we took a one mill lead. But
- 18:27Speaker 4: literally off the kickoff they scored immediately they possessed it
- 18:32Speaker 4: off the kickoff, and I mean it must have been
- 18:34Speaker 4: about seventeen seconds and Lewandowski scored his first of two goals.
- 18:40Speaker 4: We need reinforcements badly. Chicago wins two to one. I
- 18:45Speaker 4: felt like we were dead in the second half and
- 18:48Speaker 4: the game got very transitional and we could not keep up.
- 18:52Speaker 4: I mean, there was no midfield substitutions until the eighty
- 18:55Speaker 4: six minute, and I feel like guys like Westy and
- 18:57Speaker 4: Daily torre A dying. They got him off. These guys
- 19:01Speaker 4: were struggling to keep pace. I felt like Bone when
- 19:04Speaker 4: Chicago transitioned, we need Maxie badly.
- 19:09Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell we talk to to
- 19:10Speaker 1: get his damn visa done.
- 19:11Speaker 3: It just feels like every time we need someone to
- 19:13Speaker 3: get a visa that we get in it as a
- 19:15Speaker 3: transfer takes forever, like we need this dude badly.
- 19:20Speaker 1: And also Bone.
- 19:21Speaker 4: Another takeaway is they have a world class striker that
- 19:26Speaker 4: has done amazing things for Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and we.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Don't like those two finishes he made.
- 19:35Speaker 3: I'm not saying there weren't things defensively, it could have
- 19:37Speaker 3: been a little better, but those two finishes man as
- 19:42Speaker 3: a world class, absolute world class. I'm about tired of
- 19:46Speaker 3: hear and Wwandowski's I say his name, Lewandowsky, Lewandoska, That's
- 19:49Speaker 3: what I said, right, That guy called him Lewendosky last week.
- 19:53Speaker 3: I'm tired of hearing his name. And your other guy
- 19:55Speaker 3: on the team, what's the guy's name? He was in
- 19:56Speaker 3: the Austin Puper Nichols, zink Ernagley him too. I'm about
- 20:00Speaker 3: tired here of those two guys' names. But we don't
- 20:05Speaker 3: just need Maxie and we need reinforcements. We lost two wings,
- 20:08Speaker 3: haven't even gotten Maxie in yet. We had to play
- 20:11Speaker 3: pet bl at the wing and that's not the best.
- 20:13Speaker 3: You know, I know they tried to push burn up.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Why move him inside? Like we need reinforcements. There was
- 20:19Speaker 3: like we originally thought bone that in the trade for
- 20:22Speaker 3: Vargas we made we made four million dollars.
- 20:24Speaker 1: I saw a report over the weekend we made six million.
- 20:27Speaker 1: You combine that.
- 20:27Speaker 4: With what made to sell Milanda, what we made to
- 20:30Speaker 4: sell Agimon. Like we went out and got Maxie, we
- 20:34Speaker 4: got We need we need more horses, man, big time.
- 20:38Speaker 3: They scored midfield midfield. We could use a guy. Another
- 20:41Speaker 3: winger needs to come. We need this team needs needs reinforcement.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Stat dude, that was like a return for a touchdown score.
- 20:48Speaker 1: The other day.
- 20:48Speaker 3: We were excited we scored and they say they brought
- 20:51Speaker 3: it back for a touchdown.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Basically, seriously, it was a ridiculous. Man.
- 20:54Speaker 3: When we come back fan Fast details from Friday Night,
- 20:58Speaker 3: Canalis gives the details on the decision to shut Brazel
- 21:01Speaker 3: down for the year and how exactly will this court
- 21:05Speaker 3: rule be given the class of twenty twenty two a
- 21:07Speaker 3: fifth year in college sports Really work out Sports Radio
- 21:11Speaker 3: ninety two seven WFZ Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Mack and Bone with you.
- 21:44Speaker 4: Happy Monday, if that's possible that you could be having
- 21:47Speaker 4: a happy Monday.
- 21:49Speaker 3: We just gave the Dodgers the World Series, so we're done.
- 21:51Speaker 3: We're done with that. We're done with We're done with that.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Do with baseball, Bone, dot with baseball unless the Braves
- 21:57Speaker 4: can do something against the Dodgers.
- 21:58Speaker 1: And I come on here and get very excited. Did
- 22:00Speaker 1: y'all see.
- 22:00Speaker 5: JJ Janssen though defending how the Dodgers operate.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Well, he's a player.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Keep in mind he's a player, though he he doesn't
- 22:07Speaker 3: want a like if they're a sport that doesn't have
- 22:10Speaker 3: a salary cap. He's like, good for y'all, y'all get
- 22:12Speaker 3: your money. Let's not cat the tweet I saw was
- 22:16Speaker 3: he'd says the salary cap is not the answer. Capping
- 22:19Speaker 3: salaries is not the answer. So I took that as
- 22:22Speaker 3: him standing up for like players salaries, Right, Yeah, that's
- 22:27Speaker 3: what I That's what I took that as he just.
- 22:29Speaker 5: Had a back and forth. I think his name is
- 22:30Speaker 5: Jared Feinberg. I think I didn't see the back and forth.
- 22:33Speaker 5: I saw the initial tweet because like Feinberg wants a solution,
- 22:37Speaker 5: and he said, you cannot teams that want to operate
- 22:40Speaker 5: like the Dodgers operate where they're willing to spend and
- 22:44Speaker 5: invest like it's it's a great commitment from their ownership.
- 22:47Speaker 5: He was kind of like prison ownership, and that fan
- 22:49Speaker 5: should want every team, but to operate with that kind
- 22:52Speaker 5: of commit it's just not possible with the different levels
- 22:55Speaker 5: of income.
- 22:56Speaker 4: Yeah, every team's between l A and like the Pittsburgh
- 22:59Speaker 4: in the NFL here where they revenue share and everybody
- 23:01Speaker 4: shares the same pool of money. It's not like that, right, So, yeah,
- 23:05Speaker 4: everybody's got different levels of money, market sized, TV, local
- 23:09Speaker 4: media deals and all those things go into it. I
- 23:11Speaker 4: don't understand why.
- 23:12Speaker 1: We can't do a cap and a floor, so we
- 23:14Speaker 1: make the I swear I said it was done with baseball.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Here we go, Here we go again. Mag was screaming
- 23:20Speaker 3: during the break of it bothers being Fitty. Of course
- 23:22Speaker 3: it does. But the problem that I have, well, hold on,
- 23:25Speaker 3: let me finish this real quick. Let me finish real quick.
- 23:27Speaker 3: Bone salary cap, salary floor, so you can't have teams
- 23:31Speaker 3: that just go way above everybody. But then also bone
- 23:35Speaker 3: these teams that are like JJ's talking about, that are
- 23:38Speaker 3: not invested in any damn money. They've got to come
- 23:41Speaker 3: up to a floor. And I feel like if you
- 23:42Speaker 3: move the floor up, the cap down, you can do
- 23:45Speaker 3: it so that the players don't lose any total salary. Yeah,
- 23:49Speaker 3: this is why they're headed towards a stoppage here at
- 23:53Speaker 3: some point to figure this out. Max said during the break,
- 23:56Speaker 3: Does this bother you?
- 23:57Speaker 1: Guys?
- 23:57Speaker 3: Yes it does. And I don't want to just for
- 24:00Speaker 3: words in Fitty's mouth here. But if Fitty and I
- 24:03Speaker 3: start complaining, they're gonna people will say, but you're a
- 24:06Speaker 3: Yankees fan, I think I'm saying, so, yeah, it does
- 24:09Speaker 3: bother me, and you are one thousand percent right what
- 24:12Speaker 3: you're saying. But from the Yankee perspective, we probably didn't
- 24:16Speaker 3: help get to this point either, right, So yes, it
- 24:19Speaker 3: bothers me, but as a Yankee fan, I kind of
- 24:22Speaker 3: just shut up about it because I didn't help my
- 24:24Speaker 3: team didn't help the cause either.
- 24:26Speaker 1: The Phitties.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say that to you every time you can
- 24:28Speaker 4: plain actually about the Yankees. So anyway, why did I
- 24:31Speaker 4: watch you to complain? Fitty might have the team that
- 24:35Speaker 4: spends the dumbest money in all of sports too. By
- 24:38Speaker 4: the way, I'm still playing Bobby Bonilla. All right, let's
- 24:40Speaker 4: get to fan Fest because I vowed I was done
- 24:42Speaker 4: with baseball by God for thank God, I vowed I
- 24:45Speaker 4: was done with baseball for the year, and.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Here I am again. That's our twib notes.
- 24:49Speaker 4: I blame jj Janssen's tweet twib notes from around the Majors.
- 24:53Speaker 4: All right, let's get to fan Fest on Friday nights.
- 24:56Speaker 4: You mentioned at forty seven thousand plus, great crowd atmosphere,
- 25:01Speaker 4: and Dave Canalis does this event well like he gets it, man.
- 25:05Speaker 4: He comes on right at the start, he talks to
- 25:08Speaker 4: the fans. They they again had a young make a
- 25:13Speaker 4: wish kid out there. Asher Harvey got to play quarterback
- 25:16Speaker 4: and run it in on the final play and like
- 25:18Speaker 4: they just they do things like that right at FanFest.
- 25:21Speaker 4: Dave Canalis has made this more of a actual more
- 25:25Speaker 4: of actual football. Obviously, there's tons of times Bone where
- 25:29Speaker 4: passes are completed, Like I think of one of the
- 25:32Speaker 4: deep balls and Leathan Ransom. I think it was the
- 25:34Speaker 4: cocher Leith and the Ransom could have lit him up
- 25:36Speaker 4: and he can't. Right, So it does kind of slant
- 25:38Speaker 4: towards offense, but it's as close to actual football as
- 25:42Speaker 4: you're gonna get. I remember past fan Fest Bone. The
- 25:46Speaker 4: amount of actual football that was in past fan Fast
- 25:49Speaker 4: with previous coaching staffs was so small. It was so
- 25:52Speaker 4: many little separate drills and stuff. It just feels like
- 25:57Speaker 4: Dave Canalis has made this event better, closer to real
- 26:01Speaker 4: football and more fun.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Man, he really did. Yeah, you're right.
- 26:04Speaker 3: He used to be drills, a lot of stand in,
- 26:06Speaker 3: a lot of walk in, a lot of you know,
- 26:08Speaker 3: I mean a lot of talking to each other about
- 26:10Speaker 3: the game. You know, a lot of that was going on.
- 26:12Speaker 3: But yeah, you're right. It's uh, it's definitely a lot
- 26:16Speaker 3: more watchable than it's ever been before. Credit to Canalis
- 26:19Speaker 3: in this regime for doing that. Good big time That's
- 26:22Speaker 3: why I said when it started, you don't see a lot,
- 26:25Speaker 3: but you see a lot more than you certainly used to.
- 26:27Speaker 3: Definitely remember when they like I remember Bone, even Rivera
- 26:32Speaker 3: era was not like this where you do a basically
- 26:35Speaker 3: a inner squad scrimmage for a little over an hour.
- 26:38Speaker 3: Essentially in the Rivera era, I remember the number one
- 26:43Speaker 3: fun thing was Cam getting the fans hyped up. Yes,
- 26:47Speaker 3: it wasn't really what was going on. They did more
- 26:50Speaker 3: they didn't past regimes. Bone didn't really feel the need
- 26:54Speaker 3: to entertain. We'll say this.
- 26:56Speaker 4: I think it comes from the fact that this coaching
- 26:59Speaker 4: staff and the organization right now realizes crap. We're in
- 27:03Speaker 4: year two of fans not being able to see any
- 27:04Speaker 4: training camp where it was. It different back then, right
- 27:07Speaker 4: you'd have to drive to Spartanburg, but you'd at least
- 27:09Speaker 4: be able to see practice. I do think the organization
- 27:11Speaker 4: realized Bone, it does suck for fans. Give them, give
- 27:15Speaker 4: them something, you know.
- 27:16Speaker 3: The most exciting part of the John Fox fan fast
- 27:19Speaker 3: years is when you bring out Jason Baker.
- 27:21Speaker 1: The show is punting skills. J Beacon out there and
- 27:24Speaker 1: Roy Boone this one.
- 27:25Speaker 3: It's a good play punts a good play, baby, do
- 27:28Speaker 3: some golf and quarters. We'll get into some of the highlights.
- 27:31Speaker 4: Let's start though with it was a ton of passing
- 27:33Speaker 4: game highlights really was. It's that sort of format and
- 27:37Speaker 4: that sort of game or you know, kind of fake
- 27:39Speaker 4: game situation. But let's start with Dave Canalis his opening
- 27:46Speaker 4: statement after after fan Fest ends, and he definitely was
- 27:50Speaker 4: thankful for the fan turnout.
- 27:52Speaker 6: What a fun night. First of all, just a lot
- 27:55Speaker 6: of gratitude for the fans that came out. What a crowd,
- 27:58Speaker 6: it was amazing and came out early. We're here through
- 28:02Speaker 6: the whole time, and you know, that's exactly what we
- 28:05Speaker 6: play for. What we're practicing for is to make sure
- 28:07Speaker 6: that we are playing the standard of football that the
- 28:10Speaker 6: fans deserve, that they're that they're so I'm just, you know,
- 28:14Speaker 6: just again just blown away by how many people showed
- 28:16Speaker 6: up today and the energy that added to the whole thing.
- 28:18Speaker 6: And well, I'm trying to throw a good practice and
- 28:20Speaker 6: make sure we get reps and do all those things,
- 28:22Speaker 6: you know, but we can't help get caught up in
- 28:23Speaker 6: the moment. You know, his guys are making plays and
- 28:25Speaker 6: flying around and h they get that response from the
- 28:28Speaker 6: crowd and and sometimes it just works out where it's
- 28:31Speaker 6: fourth and one for the game and Astra comes in
- 28:34Speaker 6: at quarterback, you know, and punches it in. And they
- 28:36Speaker 6: thought that was a little bit cheap. On the defensive side,
- 28:38Speaker 6: they knew that, you know, they were instructed to proceed
- 28:42Speaker 6: with caution, you know, but it was an automatic touchdown.
- 28:44Speaker 1: They couldn't touch him.
- 28:45Speaker 6: So he walked it in there and it was a
- 28:47Speaker 6: really special moment after a really nice drive by Kenny
- 28:50Speaker 6: and the group. So just fun all in all and
- 28:54Speaker 6: really excited to do that.
- 28:55Speaker 4: Please tell me someone on defense didn't say, coach can
- 28:57Speaker 4: I like that little six year old up?
- 28:59Speaker 1: Geez that light after up? Oh no, I can't. Dang,
- 29:02Speaker 1: that's cheap.
- 29:02Speaker 3: This is an event that's built for Canalis. Though it's upbeat,
- 29:05Speaker 3: it's positive, it's moments like that. This is this is
- 29:10Speaker 3: just right there for for Canalis and to show what
- 29:14Speaker 3: he's all about, for sure, one hundred percent.
- 29:16Speaker 4: And we'll talk about it more in the seven o'clock
- 29:18Speaker 4: hour in terms of like who did what and what
- 29:20Speaker 4: stuck out a ton of plays from Bryce. I mean,
- 29:24Speaker 4: he came out slinging it just like he has all
- 29:26Speaker 4: through training. Camp Uh, so many wide receivers involved. Again,
- 29:30Speaker 4: it was in fairness. It was a format bone that
- 29:33Speaker 4: favored more of the offense. I mean Tremaine picket to
- 29:38Speaker 4: Tremaine late in this practice bone it looked like montanaa
- 29:41Speaker 4: rice late in this practice, including that big play at
- 29:45Speaker 4: the towards the end of trade.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Guys, the guys behind me were marveling all day about
- 29:51Speaker 3: how we could get Kenny Pickett the way we got him.
- 29:53Speaker 3: One of the guys said, he's got a huge arm
- 29:56Speaker 3: and a glass jaw. No, I'm sorry. And Iron and
- 29:59Speaker 3: Iron John Joe In Iron, Josh.
- 30:03Speaker 4: Finny and I encountered a couple of guys, a couple
- 30:05Speaker 4: of listeners on the way back while we were walking back,
- 30:08Speaker 4: and they were all over Kenny Pickett. I'm thinking to myself,
- 30:11Speaker 4: he might have had the best practice he's had in
- 30:12Speaker 4: years out there, but they were all over Kenny Pickett
- 30:15Speaker 4: and my guys. You see the jersey my guy had
- 30:18Speaker 4: on Fitny Xcel, and I'm not talking about extra large,
- 30:21Speaker 4: he had a seventeen had a seventeen league ad on.
- 30:25Speaker 1: So they're still out there, man, They're still out there.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Xcel made a couple of plays actually, had a little
- 30:30Speaker 4: toe tapper, a little toe chapper over there at the sideline.
- 30:34Speaker 1: That matters.
- 30:34Speaker 3: Man. Anything that he can do, uh, in terms of
- 30:37Speaker 3: getting his feet in bounds, it will take it, no
- 30:40Speaker 3: matter if it's fan fest or whatever it is. So
- 30:43Speaker 3: we'll talk about it more at seven o'clock, more in
- 30:47Speaker 3: depth kind of who may plays, what's stuck out, and
- 30:51Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff. We also have to get
- 30:52Speaker 3: bone in more into the Baker Mayfield Bucks situation, which
- 30:57Speaker 3: is included now Adam Schefter saying, the Bucks are not
- 31:02Speaker 3: happy that Baker took this stuff public, but that I
- 31:06Speaker 3: got a feeling that's how Baker does.
- 31:07Speaker 4: It, you know what I mean? Like, you know your quarterback?
- 31:11Speaker 4: Are you shocked he did that?
- 31:13Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 31:14Speaker 3: You're You're in a contract stand off with Baker Mayfield.
- 31:18Speaker 3: It's going to go public. Yeah, if you don't give
- 31:20Speaker 3: him what he wants. And it gets to this point
- 31:22Speaker 3: where he says, okay, it's the season, I don't want
- 31:24Speaker 3: to negotiate anymore. Did you really think he was just
- 31:27Speaker 3: gonna say, yeah, it's just a shame we just couldn't
- 31:29Speaker 3: come to terms.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Not a guy tried hard, not a guy that bites
- 31:32Speaker 1: his telling you the way you want him to.
- 31:34Speaker 7: He would be great with the Kardashian.
- 31:38Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I think is he the only athlete in
- 31:42Speaker 3: America that hasn't dated a Kardashian.
- 31:43Speaker 1: That's the stats I have, right, give him and Bryce?
- 31:45Speaker 1: Him and Bryce the only two.
- 31:47Speaker 5: Give Kim time because him and because her and Lewis Hamilton.
- 31:49Speaker 5: I don't think that's in, but Baker said that's there
- 31:51Speaker 5: for the long haul. He would be a great Kardashian relationships.
- 31:54Speaker 3: Baker has a gorgeous, awesome wife Emily and and uh
- 31:59Speaker 3: and a beautiful daughter.
- 32:01Speaker 1: What are you trying to do here, Fitty?
- 32:02Speaker 7: I'm just saying, like, because because.
- 32:04Speaker 5: Of all the drama that he brings upon himself, Like
- 32:07Speaker 5: I mean, I think he thrives off.
- 32:09Speaker 7: I think he I think he lives for it.
- 32:12Speaker 5: You could see him if he had a Vietna Kardashian
- 32:14Speaker 5: or a Ginner on his right arm. It would make
- 32:16Speaker 5: a lot of sense. I'm not trying to break up
- 32:18Speaker 5: a beautiful, happy family.
- 32:19Speaker 4: Yes, watch the Quarterback Show. You'll fall in love with
- 32:21Speaker 4: that family, all right, Fitty, we also handed up.
- 32:25Speaker 1: In a weird spot that.
- 32:26Speaker 3: Was That was definitely but that's the beauty of fitty
- 32:29Speaker 3: fitty takes that wheel, bro, and you will end up
- 32:31Speaker 3: on a road you didn't know existed.
- 32:32Speaker 1: He's He's like, does it not even a row? He's
- 32:34Speaker 1: like Michael Scott with that GPS right into the lake.
- 32:39Speaker 1: This is the lake I was trying to say.
- 32:42Speaker 4: I was as tremendous I was gonna say, though, Bone,
- 32:46Speaker 4: Panther fans and at least one media uh you know
- 32:50Speaker 4: outlet have said, well, the Baker becomes a free agent,
- 32:54Speaker 4: while the Panthers shout up being him bring him back. Uh,
- 32:57Speaker 4: So that will come up during today's radio show. The
- 33:01Speaker 4: college football the college sports stuff, Bone was at another
- 33:05Speaker 4: level over the weekend. Matter of fact, it was all
- 33:08Speaker 4: we were finding out about a lot of it while
- 33:10Speaker 4: we were at FanFest. We were finding out that the
- 33:12Speaker 4: Big Ten and the SEC after missing two deadlines to
- 33:17Speaker 4: vote on the Protect College Sports Act on Wednesday and Thursday,
- 33:22Speaker 4: they missed two deadlines to vote as to whether or
- 33:26Speaker 4: not they're going to give their approval. Politicians kind of
- 33:30Speaker 4: felt like, if we don't get SEC and Big Ten approval,
- 33:33Speaker 4: we will not be able to get yes votes in
- 33:36Speaker 4: the Senate from their jurisdictions, right that they will not
- 33:41Speaker 4: the the Senators will not go against those major conferences
- 33:47Speaker 4: in you know, areas for those major conferences. So Friday night,
- 33:51Speaker 4: finally the SEC and the Big Ten they finally liked
- 33:56Speaker 4: what they got Bone in terms of adjustments to the bill,
- 33:59Speaker 4: and they both did a quick emergency vote and they
- 34:02Speaker 4: both signed off on it. So now does look like
- 34:06Speaker 4: bone there is a chance they can have a vote
- 34:08Speaker 4: in the Senate by the end of the week before
- 34:10Speaker 4: the month long recess, and they might. So now there's
- 34:12Speaker 4: a little more optimism around this thing, right now.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Yeah, another chaotic weekend. Back when it came to college sports, dudes,
- 34:20Speaker 3: I did not know what was happening Friday night because
- 34:22Speaker 3: we were at FanFest and then we got home and
- 34:25Speaker 3: all of a sudden, floodgates were opening again in the
- 34:28Speaker 3: Just when you thought college SPORTSMAC couldn't get any more
- 34:32Speaker 3: out there and more chaotic, here we go some of
- 34:36Speaker 3: this stuff.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Now, I mean, this is the way you try to
- 34:38Speaker 1: explain all this.
- 34:39Speaker 4: This is the basic one, right, the Big Ten a
- 34:41Speaker 4: SEC Lombardi lawyering up, you know, is also fairly basic.
- 34:46Speaker 1: Right.
- 34:46Speaker 4: There were statements from the Lombardi camp basically saying, you know,
- 34:51Speaker 4: you know, defending Michael Lombardi, but he lawyered up with
- 34:55Speaker 4: a guy named Tom Mars who appeared to be making
- 34:58Speaker 4: fun of Lombardi Bone a few before he got hired
- 35:01Speaker 4: by Lombardi. More on that on social media. More on
- 35:03Speaker 4: that later on in the show. Yeah, he was one
- 35:05Speaker 4: of us. The big confusing one, though, is the ruling
- 35:09Speaker 4: Friday night from a judge in Colorado that the class
- 35:14Speaker 4: of twenty twenty two athletes in all sports get their
- 35:18Speaker 4: fifth year of eligibility. The nc double A Bone has
- 35:23Speaker 4: this new rule five years to play five years, but
- 35:27Speaker 4: they wanted to not allow the ones who exhausted their
- 35:31Speaker 4: fourth year of eligibility last year. They did not want
- 35:35Speaker 4: them to be able to get a fifth year. This
- 35:38Speaker 4: judge out in Colorado ruled that they can. But in
- 35:43Speaker 4: this thing, Bone, the nc DOUBLEA will two things. One therapy.
- 35:47Speaker 4: You know they're going to be appealing this, but they
- 35:49Speaker 4: also Bone put in an emergency me talking about courts
- 35:53Speaker 4: as ugly.
- 35:54Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm trying.
- 35:56Speaker 4: The NCUBA put in an emergency motion for clarification on
- 35:59Speaker 4: how this would work. Bone, because there are things like
- 36:04Speaker 4: portal rules, there are things like eligibility rules, age limits.
- 36:10Speaker 4: Now on athletes, revenue sharing, cap rules, roster limits. They
- 36:15Speaker 4: wanted to know what's up with all that stuff. So
- 36:19Speaker 4: the judge yesterday clarified all it means is these athletes
- 36:24Speaker 4: can get a fifth year of eligibility. The problem is
- 36:26Speaker 4: bone portals are closed, so it sounds like if you
- 36:30Speaker 4: weren't already entered in the portal, your only choice is
- 36:33Speaker 4: to come back with the school you were at. The
- 36:36Speaker 4: rosters limit. Yeah, that's the thing.
- 36:38Speaker 3: It's not guarantee roster limits stay the same, cap stays
- 36:42Speaker 3: the same, like, so you still have to adhere to
- 36:44Speaker 3: the rules. So it's gonna make it a lot harder
- 36:47Speaker 3: bone in football, basketball and other sports for these athletes
- 36:51Speaker 3: to kind of move around and stuff like that. So
- 36:53Speaker 3: it's it, and there's an appeal being filed to so
- 36:56Speaker 3: it's still kind of messy, of course, of course it is.
- 36:58Speaker 3: It's also a nightmare time for the schools to have
- 37:01Speaker 3: to deal with the remover on both those sports. Because
- 37:05Speaker 3: football starting this month, they're getting set with what they have.
- 37:09Speaker 3: Basketball mac is past their roster maneuvering part of the season.
- 37:14Speaker 3: They get going in a month, month and a half
- 37:16Speaker 3: whatever it is. They're getting ready for the season. So
- 37:18Speaker 3: to add new people to this, especially football, like Castellanos
- 37:22Speaker 3: from BC to Florida State. Thomas Castellanos, the quarterback. He's
- 37:26Speaker 3: a name that's been out there and they've even thought, well,
- 37:29Speaker 3: could he join the team during the season, But he
- 37:31Speaker 3: wasn't good when he knew what Florida State wanted to run.
- 37:34Speaker 3: How's he gonna catch up the speed with a new school.
- 37:37Speaker 3: A local example mac r J. Gottfried, who's become a
- 37:41Speaker 3: pretty good player for Clemson basketball basketball player for Clemson. Uh,
- 37:45Speaker 3: he has committed to Arizona before that came down yesterday.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Was r J.
- 37:50Speaker 3: Gottfried in the portal before that? Or is he gonna?
- 37:54Speaker 3: Is he only allowed to go back to Clemson now? Yeah,
- 37:56Speaker 3: I don't know how to look that up.
- 37:57Speaker 4: But that's the thing is I think we originally thought
- 37:59Speaker 4: on night, oh, all these cats will be able to
- 38:01Speaker 4: go anywhere, and it seems like now it's more restricted.
- 38:05Speaker 3: So not to ben Allen Lubin might be coming back
- 38:08Speaker 3: to the wolf Pack. Yeah, yeah, Now Seth Trimble did
- 38:12Speaker 3: enter the portal. Okay, I believe some athletes, some guys
- 38:16Speaker 3: did it bone after the basketball season. Just in case
- 38:19Speaker 3: some guys did so Anyway, Darian Williams is another guy,
- 38:22Speaker 3: the former Wolfpack player, but I don't think he'd go
- 38:25Speaker 3: back there. But he's another guy. But again, if it's
- 38:28Speaker 3: the ruling of they have to go back to their school,
- 38:31Speaker 3: well he'd have to go back to NC State.
- 38:32Speaker 1: I guess at least it's a new coaching stand of
- 38:34Speaker 1: the portal. But I don't know. It's crazy.
- 38:36Speaker 4: I mean, I know you're shocked by this, but stuff
- 38:38Speaker 4: happens back in courts and college athletics, and it's that
- 38:41Speaker 4: bleep crazy.
- 38:42Speaker 3: It says right here. Clemson forward R J. Gottfried committed
- 38:46Speaker 3: to Arizona via the transfer portal. Okay, so maybe he
- 38:49Speaker 3: was already in Yeah, I don't know. Maybe, but he
- 38:52Speaker 3: did that before. Noah, he did it before the clarification
- 38:56Speaker 3: came down. Yeah, I don't know. It's God, my god.
- 39:00Speaker 3: We just get football games.
- 39:01Speaker 4: We need college football games, so we get stopped talking
- 39:03Speaker 4: about bills and politics and courtrooms and judges.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Seriously, God my gracious.
- 39:10Speaker 3: When we come back sounds over the weekend, you're gonna
- 39:13Speaker 3: hear the GM for the Braves on yesterday's trade, Adam
- 39:18Speaker 3: Schefter on Baker Mayfield and the bunt and some huge
- 39:21Speaker 3: praise for the great Steve Smith on Sports Radio ninety

- 40:13Speaker 4: out there and goes into the Hall of Fame on Saturday.
- 40:15Speaker 4: This will be a big Panther week, no doubt about it.
- 40:19Speaker 4: At some point, Bone, we will be very focused on
- 40:21Speaker 4: the Panthers this week, and the Panthers only, and.
- 40:24Speaker 1: We won't be envious of the Dodge.
- 40:26Speaker 3: Well, we probably still would be envious of the Dodgers, but
- 40:27Speaker 3: we won't be talking about it, and we will not
- 40:29Speaker 3: be trying to figure out court rulings. At some point
- 40:32Speaker 3: this week that will occur. Man, We're going panthersonly dot com.
- 40:37Speaker 3: You don't have to be only anymore. But until then,
- 40:40Speaker 3: we got to bounce around what's going on in the
- 40:42Speaker 3: world of sports. This weekend we will get back into
- 40:45Speaker 3: fan Fast one at once some to seven o'clockers to
- 40:47Speaker 3: wake up and we'll talk more in detail about what
- 40:50Speaker 3: happened in Fan Fast, what did we like about fan Fast,
- 40:54Speaker 3: And we gotta have a Bryce Young slash Baker Mayfield
- 40:58Speaker 3: conversation at seven o'clock as well. But first let's go
- 41:03Speaker 3: to Adam Schefter, who joined Pat McAfee on Friday, and
- 41:07Speaker 3: he did tell McAfee that the Bucks organization not happy
- 41:11Speaker 3: that Baker aired all that stuff out, all that you know,
- 41:14Speaker 3: contract stuff out the day before. But Adam Schefter also
- 41:20Speaker 3: gave some details about the contract offer they did give,
- 41:23Speaker 3: which Baker wasn't happy with.
- 41:26Speaker 7: They already were offering over fifty million dollars a year.
- 41:29Speaker 1: That's not what he's years ago, two years they already
- 41:34Speaker 1: if you go back in the look in Jeremy Fowler's
- 41:36Speaker 1: story last night, hold on, hold on.
- 41:39Speaker 8: Okay, So Scheffer's got a good plugging the Bucker Buccaneers
- 41:42Speaker 8: right now.
- 41:42Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just telling you no, no, but we.
- 41:45Speaker 8: Need to know, we need to understand that as we
- 41:47Speaker 8: do this, like we are about to get a lot
- 41:48Speaker 8: of good information from the Buccaneers organization right now, everybody
- 41:50Speaker 8: needs to let's strap in right here. Let's figure out
- 41:53Speaker 8: how this is going to go this's a big story.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Franchise cornerback Jeremy Fowler last night reported the Buccaneers felt
- 42:00Speaker 1: offers in the final days of the negotiation with Competitive,
- 42:02Speaker 1: including a two year deal, was.
- 42:05Speaker 7: Slightly above one hundred million in total.
- 42:10Speaker 4: Guaranteed fifteen fitty cut that there, cut that there, cut
- 42:13Speaker 4: that there, fitty cut that there all right, Anyway, I
- 42:17Speaker 4: told Fiddy to take too much of that cut, and
- 42:19Speaker 4: it was gonna go on bone for like another minute.
- 42:21Speaker 4: That's the basic details and the gist of it right there.
- 42:25Speaker 4: We're gonna talk about this kind of in conjunction with
- 42:27Speaker 4: Bryce coming up at seven o'clock. What do you think
- 42:30Speaker 4: about Baker turning down two years a bit over one
- 42:34Speaker 4: hundred million, like one hundred and five million.
- 42:37Speaker 3: I mean, it's probably the range that he's in, so
- 42:41Speaker 3: the fact that he turned it down surprising, But he
- 42:45Speaker 3: is also agitated right now with how it's going. So
- 42:50Speaker 3: even though it's probably where he probably ranks in the
- 42:55Speaker 3: pecking order of quarterback contracts, he's disgruntled right now, so
- 42:59Speaker 3: it's probably going to take a little bit of time
- 43:01Speaker 3: before he greased to a deal like that. He I
- 43:04Speaker 3: think I I I think Baker's worth that money. If
- 43:08Speaker 3: I'm the Buccaneers, the sticking here's the sticking point, Bone
- 43:11Speaker 3: is the years, I think, and Baker said as much. Yeah,
- 43:15Speaker 3: I think I wonder if they would have offered him
- 43:17Speaker 3: what's that about fifty two million a year? If they
- 43:19Speaker 3: were to offer him about fifty two million a year
- 43:22Speaker 3: but gave him three years, would he have done it?
- 43:25Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 43:26Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly if they ga him four years, I think
- 43:28Speaker 3: that was a chance. He wants stability that he hasn't
- 43:31Speaker 3: always had. That's what he wants. Yeah, he's he has
- 43:34Speaker 3: not been He's not gotten that big long QB contract.
- 43:38Speaker 3: And I think he felt like it was my time
- 43:41Speaker 3: for it. I mean I said it the other day
- 43:43Speaker 3: as a Panther fan. Let him leave Tampa. Let him
- 43:47Speaker 3: leave and go out there to that very very dicey,
- 43:52Speaker 3: unpredictable quarterback market and good luck getting one as good
- 43:56Speaker 3: as Baker Mayfield. Now we are having people on the
- 43:58Speaker 3: text line saying he was terrible last year. That was
- 44:01Speaker 3: because he was dealing with umpteen injuries. Now I will
- 44:04Speaker 3: say this, I say I talk about this all the
- 44:05Speaker 3: time with Baker. I do feel like he's a guy
- 44:08Speaker 3: bone that will play, probably be hurt a lot and
- 44:12Speaker 3: play through a lot of injuries. He's a tough guy,
- 44:14Speaker 3: but I feel like his style of play. I mean
- 44:16Speaker 3: I've been I've been watching this quarterback Show, and I've
- 44:19Speaker 3: been watching some of the runs he was hurt on
- 44:21Speaker 3: last I mean, this dude runs like he's a power
- 44:25Speaker 3: back from the eighties. I mean, there's he is not
- 44:28Speaker 3: a slider. Often he tries to take these dudes on
- 44:32Speaker 3: like he's Jim McMahon back in the day. So I
- 44:35Speaker 3: do feel like he's like my dog Murphy, just no
- 44:37Speaker 3: sense whatsoever, no care about your own no regard for
- 44:41Speaker 3: human health. And I mean so I do wonder bone
- 44:44Speaker 3: if he will be playing through injuries most of the time.
- 44:48Speaker 3: But it just as a Panther fan, I go ahead
- 44:51Speaker 3: and let him walk, you know what I mean, I
- 44:53Speaker 3: would I would hate it more if they did sign
- 44:55Speaker 3: him and keep him long term. I think we know
- 44:56Speaker 3: where this ends back for Baker Mayfield, Baker and the Jets.
- 45:02Speaker 3: Baker will go to the Jets and his body will
- 45:04Speaker 3: completely crumble, because that's what happens when you go to
- 45:07Speaker 3: the Jets.
- 45:07Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, all right, let's move along. We'll talk
- 45:10Speaker 4: more about that because I want to tie it into
- 45:11Speaker 4: the Bryce Young contract situation, using Baker Mayfield and his
- 45:15Speaker 4: situation as well. Coming up at seven o'clock. This was
- 45:19Speaker 4: a really cool cut, matter of fact, a really cool
- 45:21Speaker 4: interview Jeremy Shockey did with Shannon Sharp.
- 45:24Speaker 3: We played some of it last week. This stuff about
- 45:27Speaker 3: Steve Smith, though, is tremendous. Listen to uh to unk
- 45:32Speaker 3: Shannon Sharp and Jeremy Shockey a teammate of Steve Smith's
- 45:36Speaker 3: for a year, praise Steve Smith.
- 45:39Speaker 2: Imagine I Smitty had like a great, great Eli Manning
- 45:42Speaker 2: quarterback or something like a precision passer because he had
- 45:45Speaker 2: that one year who Jake Jake DeLong with fit he
- 45:49Speaker 2: won the Triple Crown. Yeah, Triple Crown yeah, six five, yeah,
- 45:53Speaker 2: two thousand foxy yes, yeah yeah yeah. I don't think
- 45:58Speaker 2: people realize how great eight committee was, especially talking excuse me,
- 46:02Speaker 2: you're talking about a guy that size, yeah, that led
- 46:05Speaker 2: the league in catches, yards and touchdowns at five to nine.
- 46:10Speaker 2: He played like he said, six six man, I've never
- 46:12Speaker 2: seen like and his orda was like he's seven to
- 46:14Speaker 2: on that giant.
- 46:15Speaker 7: You can't, I mean in locker room, you ain't being late.
- 46:17Speaker 7: I mean he will tell you. I mean he would
- 46:20Speaker 7: you would.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Be Yeah, everyone accountable.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Yeah, my guy, he's a guy.
- 46:27Speaker 2: You look at him and you look at his stature,
- 46:30Speaker 2: but he plays like a guy that's six foot six,
- 46:32Speaker 2: like three hundred pounds high.
- 46:35Speaker 3: True high praise. One of the best to ever do
- 46:38Speaker 3: it in Channon Charge. But Mack, I do have a
- 46:39Speaker 3: question again about Jeremy Shockey. When did his voice get
- 46:43Speaker 3: so funny? I don't remember that being the thing before.
- 46:45Speaker 3: Did we just never hear him talk before the show before.
- 46:49Speaker 3: I don't remember him like that energetic and his voice
- 46:53Speaker 3: being that funny?
- 46:54Speaker 1: I don't know. Was it the vasectomate did to do
- 46:56Speaker 1: a number one? Is that what it was?
- 47:00Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 47:00Speaker 3: That was another tidbit from the interview that we played
- 47:02Speaker 3: last week. Uh I got a vasectomy the second he
- 47:05Speaker 3: got drafted into the NFL. Oh my goodness, are by
- 47:10Speaker 3: the way I used to we used to talk about it
- 47:12Speaker 3: all the time, the way Jake alone would throw jump
- 47:15Speaker 3: balls up to a five to nine receiver. There's no
- 47:17Speaker 3: there's no receiver anywhere near smitty size that you could
- 47:20Speaker 3: throw a jump ball to fifty to fifty ball and
- 47:22Speaker 3: he would come down with it. Like he did, like
- 47:24Speaker 3: he like they I said all the time he jaked alone,
- 47:28Speaker 3: and any quarterback that played with Smitty could treat Steve
- 47:31Speaker 3: Smith like he was a six to five receiver, like
- 47:33Speaker 3: it's just it, and and then they are right. Not
- 47:37Speaker 3: enough people talk about how ridiculously good he was at
- 47:41Speaker 3: that size. Man, I still will say that game against
- 47:44Speaker 3: the Bears, the two thousand and five playoff game played
- 47:48Speaker 3: in January of six, that might be the best receiver
- 47:52Speaker 3: game I've ever seen play, especially in that type of game,
- 47:56Speaker 3: playoff game, to do what he did. He's thinking about
- 47:59Speaker 3: those He basically beat the Bears on his own that
- 48:02Speaker 3: day against Tillman and Vasher yep, maybe the best corner
- 48:06Speaker 3: combination in the game.
- 48:07Speaker 4: And then he slid down the god post. What a
- 48:09Speaker 4: damn celebration that was. Man, get that guy in the
- 48:12Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, Like, I'm excited Luke's going in.
- 48:15Speaker 1: But Hall of Fame.
- 48:15Speaker 3: Voters, I know there's a lot of wide receivers there,
- 48:17Speaker 3: but this dude's better than many of the wide receivers
- 48:20Speaker 3: that are in that dang line right now, waiting, yes, sir,
- 48:23Speaker 3: when we come back here on the Macinbun Radio program,
- 48:26Speaker 3: if Baker turned down over fifty mili. How much will
- 48:31Speaker 3: it take to resign bryce next offseason, and what do
- 48:34Speaker 3: we think of the Baker back to Carolina suggestions? Sports
