Speaker 1 (00:00):
Does does Gelbie know that he just talked to Fiddy
while he's wearing his thong for the fist right day?
Gil probably needs to know the story. This feels like
a Gelp story. I feel like he definitely try to
keep this from certain guests, but this feels like one
where he needs He's a friend and he needs to know.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
What I think he does. I think he does.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
He's back for another year with us on Fridays, Zach
Gelb Infinity Sports Radio and my god, do we have
so much to talk about?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
In Week one of the NFL Gelby how you feeling? Man?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Dad to a what the heck? Did I just hear
you guys doing well?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Last year, he tried to become a Panther fan and
then he turned on them after a week one, So
he's gone through a series of stuff again here in
the offseason. And a Panther fan sent him a thong
last week that he had to wear for a full
week during the show to become a Panther fan.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
So he's max. I didn't check to make sure a
woman or a male.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Former NFL offensive lineman Frank Garcia.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Oh, I just gonna say good for fitting getting some
you know, with the Panthers on.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
But I guess not now, Gelby.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Here's the thing, Max had to check each day to
make sure that he's going through with this.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's a tough job, Glby. Someone's got to do it. Though.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Let me tell you, I'm not surprised because that's the show.
I'm just wondering, and I'm actually in a peaceful mood today.
I'm not looking to get hung up on by mac
or bone. I've been doing this now with you guys
for a while. This is the first time I kind
of entered Panther season, and I truly don't know what
(01:38):
to expect. You look at the first seven games of
the season, Jacksonville Ever going at Lampton, New England, Miami, Dallas,
and the Jets. You know, there's not a game that
I sit there and say they're definitely gonna win. But
there's also not a game that I sit there and
say they're definitely gonna lose. So these first seven games
are massive, and knowing how way that this show goes,
(02:01):
it's either gonna be all in it spectacular or it's
gonna be one big shot.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I don't feel like it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
A I'm so glad to hear you say that, though,
because we have broken it down that way too. Those
first seven games are non playoff teams from last year,
and I understand that there's so much playoff turnover each year,
but it's just to your point, they have a chance
in all these games and we'll see.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I mean, we're a little concerned.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Gelby left tackle Licky Iguan who had an apodectomy, so
we don't know if he's gonna play this week. And
then the Feeling trade that kind of bummed me out,
and then Coker got hurt, So those things have have
hurt us a little bit. What do you think about
the Jacksonville matchups specifically.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, it's a huge game for Bryce Young, and I
know it's a huge season for Bryce Young. I don't
know what he's going to be this year because it's
such a bizarre situation. He was terrible in year one
and then right they give up on him in your
they have him said, he comes back and he plays well.
I'm not ready to sit here and say, oh, Bryce
(03:04):
Youlling is a great quarterback. I'm not even ready to
he's a good quarterback, but he has peaked my level
of interest with the way that he ended the season.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And on the other.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Side, it's the Liam Cohen, right, who's a new at
football coach, mister.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Duval, and then you have Trevor.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Lawrence, who, let's be real, has been more disappointing than
successful in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
So this is a big.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Opportunity for Bryce Young to really get off to a
good start to the season and show people what he
did down the stretch last year wasn't just an anomaly.
And that's the type of wary.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
There we go, there we go. I can't get enough
of that this week.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Glby Gelby, what do you think about Travis Hunter's attempt
to go both ways in the NFL? Do you think
he can pull this off? Or will this be too
difficult long term?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Well, he's already dealing with the injuries. It's funny at
the Super Bowl this past year, I had two teammates
from the Giants, Bobby Ocaraca and Cavon Thibodeau, and they
were both on it at the same time, and they're book disagreeing.
One thought he could play both ways, the other thought,
no way that's possible. In the NFL, Travis had suffer
a few injuries while he's at Colorado. Here's what I say,
(04:10):
try it, see how long you can get away with it.
I'm not gonna put a limitation on Travis Hunter, but
he's kind of NF the NFL's version of Shoe a Otani.
And you guys all know of Tani, how great he
is at the plate and then what he's been able
to do on the mound. But on the mounds he's
also been injured at times. So I do think down
(04:30):
the road, eventually he's gonna have to pick one way.
But I'm gonna drive this baby into the ground and
see how long you get away with playing in both ways.
And I can't wait to see what that looks like.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
It is fascinating, There's no doubt about it. Zach Gilb
was with US Infinity Sports Radio. For some reason. He's
back with us on Fridays for another football season, and
we're happy, you.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Say, for some reason, I come in here to start
this segment in a good mood, not look in.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
A fight, and I get a little attitude there from that.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Was that was? That was a shot.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I saw that.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Oh my god, you too, that was a shot at ourselves?
Like what For some reason, Gelb has decided to be
with these two twists again.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That's what that was.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Let me tell you if the Panthers are really out
of it by week by week eight, like if this
is a gun, I may punt the rest.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I may too. I may also, you know, I may hit.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
The transfer port they leave.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Dang, there's a lot at Steak this season. Man Kelvy's
at Steak as well. I saw I saw Fitty accidentally
sending him a picture of his.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Undies would be what the whole thing?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Mac?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I was going to text you when you in seed
they go up seven nothing before they allowed forty one unanswered.
I was gonna say, are we're gonna see a Mac
and Bone victory dance? Will you play the role of
Belichick at Hudson and do those yoga stretches that they do.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I don't know who would be on the bottom and
who would be on the top. Between YouTube That video
needs to be recreated.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
City and Mac did that over the summer. We have
VI I did.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'll tag you in that. Yeah, that we did do
that pose. I forgot all about that. We're all trying
to forget. He wasn't in the thong at the time.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
We'll think.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I was gonna say City wearing a thong and then
doing the Belichick Jordan husk.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That football's right, baby, Gelby, let's you mentioned it, So
let's go there. I know, you know you've got you know,
you've got a lot to Belichick and Brady and the
whole Patriots organization being a fan of that team. So
I definitely wanted to get your thoughts on the Belichick debut.
I mean, man, his presence and the investment, you know,
(06:33):
in football for a change in Carolina had that place buzzing.
I mean it felt like, man, they've got a real
football atmosphere. The first drive happens, it looks great, and
then it was horrible from there on out. Like, are
you how worried do you think heels fans should be that? Man,
this is just he's just not made to coach the
college game.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
So TCUs obviously a nine win team from a year ago.
I thought they were going to win the game. I
didn't think it was gonna be forty eight to fourteen,
especially when they did go up seven to nothing. It's
still surreal to know that they allowed forty one an
answered points.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
In the game.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
The FAXT two weeks are gonna be telling because you
play Charlotte and you play Richmond. If they don't win
both of those games, then this could be problematic. The
thing I'm disappointed with and I kind of feel like
my parents got divorced and now they're making me pick
a favorite. What Bill Belichick and Robber Craft are doing
and the petulance there, and this article comes out that
(07:28):
they're not allowing scouts in there, and it all goes
back to probably Belichick just being annoyed that he got
let go as the Patriots coach, and then Robber Kraft
taking ridiculous shots at Bill Belichick. This thing is ugly
between two guys that ran the NFL for twenty twenty
five years. The fact that Bill Belichick and Robber Kraft
hate each other's guts right now, Oh, it's just it's
(07:49):
surreal to me. It's crazy to me.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Didn't Robert Kraft though, say two days ago that they're
going to put up a statue of Belichick when he's
done coaching.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, you know what, soo, he took so many off
that he did, but he took so many shots at
him in that Apple documentary and then post then basically
preventing him from getting hired with the Atlanta Falcons. And
it would be like bone if I spat in your face,
you know, if I was a Jalen Carter and then
I saw you two weeks later and tried to be
buddy buddy with you and said, oh, you know, I'll
(08:18):
go get your hamburger. Actually, if I ordered to get you,
if I offered to get your hamburger.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
You probably picked up the best person in the world.
That's not a good analygy.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, I would, I do. I'm thinking about it. I
don't really care about the spit in the face. I
want a hamburger win. The thing with the scout though,
and you're bringing up a story that I guess John
Middlecoff had originally an ON three. Then the Athletic reported
more on it. ESPN's got a report on it than
an NC State's scout or a Patriots scout. I'm sorry
(08:46):
that apparently went to n C State ironically, but a
Patriot scout was denied a mission to practice. And then
the sore whoever this source is, will beyond of the
Athletic so proudly states how petty they are, like just
says basic that would you well, we can't let him
in our house the way that he was treated by them.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
How about shouldn't it be about the kids.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Shouldn't it be about the kids getting seen by all
by as many scouts as they can.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I would one hundred percent agree with you. That's what
I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Understand, and and it's one of those things, right. I
don't think it does the UNC football.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Program any good. But this is what this is gonna
be when Bill.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Belichick loses, because Bill Belichick, and I'm not saying that
he handle ever in the right way because he's kicked
everyone's butt in the NFL for twenty years and he
would smug while doing so. When they lose, all these
stories are going to come out, and it's gonna get ugly.
Now you win, people will eventually give you credit or
they're just gonna.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Ignore what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
But when they lose, it will get ugly because people
do not like Belichick.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, that's what that's we were talking about that earlier, Fitty.
I'm like, man, Unfortunately, Carolina kind of asked for us
in bone too, right, Like they ask for this because
you're hiring a guy that if it doesn't go well,
there are people out there taking so much glee and
spreading these stories.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You know, So can I give?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Can I give a Lake Norman shout out here real quickly?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Right?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
So, a buddy of mine, I told you guys this
a year or two ago.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Buddy of mine that I grew up with.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Uh, he's on the coaching staff there, and he told
me to pay attention. I know you guys are always
scouting the QB because you're always looking for the QB
of the future. They have a kid, Kten Kraft who's
playing right now, who's six three, I think two hundred pounds, quarterback,
big arm. You know, he's getting a ton of looks.
You know, I'm looking at the college list right now.
Alburton Duke, Florida State, NC State, North Carolina. You guys
(10:36):
may have a little hooded gym there in Caden Kraft
from Lake Norman about that the NFL.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I'm in college football.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
In high school with you guys, amazing. I live five
minutes from Lake Norman and I just found out information
high school. We got a lot of high school around here. Man,
we do. What's your Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I thought Bone was supposed to be some high school
talent whatever, happened to that guy?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
What is your super Bowl pick this year?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I am going the Kansas City Chiefs up against the
Mina Soda Vikings. Get on the Vikings this year. Brian Fores'
defense is really damn good. I think they're gonna have
the bumpers up for JJ McCarthy. But you got Aaron Jones,
you got Jordan Mason, you got PJ. Hockinson, you got
(11:28):
Jordan Jefferson, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison. He comes back from
the suspension, and for some reason the Vikings were able
to get back Adam feeling. So I think the Vikings
get to the Super Bowl, but they lose to the
Chiefs twenty seven to twenty four. Kansas City wins another limbo.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh man, how about that? And Taylor could be playing
the halftime show? Oh America, wouldn't y'all love it out there?
Wouldn't everybody love that?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
All? Right?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Gelby, it's great to have you back.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Maybe you also seem to have at least a more
upbeat panther attitude this season, So hopefully they won't sat
up on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Means probably next week we'll be going at each other.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Oh, it's coming.
