Speaker 1 (00:02):
When sty Oh is Mac and bo You guys are
the most entertaining sports program in the world. Bone gob no, no,
stop talking. You and I are a couple eating a
lady in the tramp. You're the lady on the tram. Yeah,
come on, come on baby, I was Boopy Boopy McLean man.
(00:24):
That's a great name.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Oh the bug.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh yeah, Welcome in Mac and Bone show here on
Sports Radio ninety two seven, Bone and Fiddy along for
the ride. We think Mac is in the building somewhere.
I believe I thought I saw him earlier. We have
not actually physically seen Mac Fiddy since he was yelling
towards the Panther locker room yesterday. Has he been seen?
(00:55):
Has he come out of the building yet from the Panthers,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I've got many an email from Mac. I got all
the sound that he wants from the show.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But maybe he is. Maybe he had a bad dinner
and he's down there. He clogged toilets sometimes delays them.
I don't know. Hopefully our guy is here and he's
not still at the stadium trying to start Brightce going
out of the locker room. Busy show today, plenty of
college oh there, he is. What's up, Maggers, how you doing? Okay?
Finny sounded so disappointed when I walked in the studio.
(01:24):
What are you talking about? That's the best way that
there he is, he says, Oh, here he is. Yeah,
you show up late, you're already starting craft. I don't
think Fitty knows when he sighed and scoffs. It's so
ingrained in his personality. You did walk in and I heard,
uh yeah, he started to disappoint Fitty. Yeah. By the way,
(01:45):
funny how Fitty found his mets gear. He had misplaced
it for about ten straight days. We wend of twelve
days he misplaced it, and all of a sudden, they
have batting practice against the Braves pitching last night, and
the fit dog has found his met Scared to Mary
bone neck. He also doesn't go see when you're not here.
I do get concerned. I mean, you were here, I know,
(02:05):
but when you're not near me, Fitty doesn't seem to
be on the move to go find you. He's kind
of shows he didn't lock the door. It's being starve
for airtime. I'm sure. I'm sure he thought about it
for a second. There, my bad, I let my teammates down.
Let my teammates down. Bone. I lost track of time
downstairs trying to dig up what the bleep stories for later.
We thought, perhaps you went back to training camp again,
(02:28):
like you're going there every day now, because they were
so kind to us that Mac though, wage just go
over here hang out with the boys, the team. I
thought we could just hang out in the uh, you know,
Homer hideaway just every day. Thought that was the thing,
and apparently security turned me away. Yes, we're back at
the comfy confines of at the wfn ZUH studios. Here,
(02:48):
ladies and gentlemen, the Chandler Volta Studios. Dare I say
one call? That's all Cvinjurylaw dot com, CEV Injurylaw dot Com.
There the Carolina's personal injury lawyers. But we definitely have
a lot of Panthers content, a lot of Panthers stuff
to discuss today on the show Bone. They're basically done
training camp. Yesterday was the last practice essentially of camp
(03:11):
at least you know that's open to the media and stuff.
Today will be a walkthrough and then they'll fly to Houston.
Tomorrow will be the joint practice against the Texans. They'll
have kind of a chill day Friday, and then they
will get after it's Saturday afternoon at one o'clock down
there in Houston. I've not heard yet bone about the
Texans plans with their starters. I'm kind of curious about that.
(03:35):
But we did find out from Canalis last after the
game last weekend that he is trying to play the
starters maybe a little bit more, maybe a little extra series,
yeah bright, Yeah, I mean we could see Bryce for
three perhaps, depending how it goes. I don't know much
about it, because you know, in the preseason, the focus
on the opponent is nowhere near, of course, what it
would be in the regular season. I do know that
(03:59):
Gardner Johnson got hurt, but I don't I don't know
much about like what the Textans have going on. I
have not looked deeply into Houston really all at that much,
beyonest with you, because I care about the pay. I
have this guy named c J. Stroud, h pretty good,
pretty familiar with him. Some people like to compare him
and Bryce Young. Maybe this year gonna be as good
as Bryce, But bryceon CJ. Their bro bance continues. They
(04:19):
were hanging out this summer and stuff. So despite the
fact that all of US fans will probably continue, you know,
hopefully hopefully Bryce continue to trend up and can be
you know, be compared to CJ. But those guys are
are tight as hell. So here's here's one element of this.
Of the of this week, we're still trying to figure
(04:39):
out if J. C. Horn will be practicing and playing
Thursday and Saturday, respectively in Houston. JC met with the
media yesterday basically said, like he did individual drills in
practice bone, but when the football was thrown to him,
all he did is just try to catch you at
one hand. He is, they basically don't want these stitches
(05:04):
to be opened back up on that. Apparently it was
an air airbag deployment in the accident that ended up
like cutting his hand, and so they're just trying to
let the stitches heal. Canalis basically said, if it was
a regular season game, he would one hundred percent play.
You know, you would just find a way to you know,
tape up the stitches or whatever. So JC basically said,
(05:26):
I'm I'll play in Houston if the stitches are out.
He has no idea if they'll be out by then,
So he's on his way back but not back yet.
But I don't think any of us are stressing out
too much about this, Like Jac's not necessarily one of
the guys that were demanding he's got to get reps
or else. No, I'm just thankful that it wasn't much
(05:46):
worse than stitches in the thumb. I mean, a car
accident that could have been so much worse. So we'll
we'll take what happened as opposed to what the other
outcomes could have been. Absolutely, yesterday, Big Newt was very
concerned earned on whether or not David Newton is aka
Big Newt. He was very concerned bone about whether or
not that was Bryce's car he got in the off
(06:09):
season with the new contract that he's very excited about.
And Bryce, you know, we already we had already covered this,
he had already said on social media. But David Newton
did not get the memo. So j was assured that
that that JC did not. Yeah, am I not explaining
that correctly? I thought he said Bryce's car? Oh did
I said it twice? Oh? Shoot, no, j C. We're
(06:29):
talking about j c's reck. My bad, my bad, jc's
rec Big Newt did not. Apparently I didn't get the
memo either, But anyway, to make a short story long,
the whole world, including Big Newton, now knows that was
a different ride. That was an SUV. That was not
the ride that he got. In the off season, Panthers
put out the depth chart, the second depth chart. When
(06:51):
Corey Thornton is still your seventh or eighth corner, he
is still a four string cornerbone on the depth chart.
I'm pretty sure they're not putting a lot of thought
into it. A zero maybe because there ain't no way
this dude's our seventh or eighth best corner right now.
If we played a game that mattered this weekend, there
is no way he is seventh or eighth in the
(07:11):
pecking order. If he's the seventh or eighth's best corner,
it's one of the all time great secondaries in league history.
Seventh or eighth. I mean that means if there's all
the there's that many guys better than him than Dan
Morgan's done some Uh, what's the what's the yeomans he's done? Yeomens,
he's done? What yeomens? Yeoman's work? Oh, okay, you work.
(07:32):
I don't know how to finish the whole thing. Yeomen's work.
What they call it Yeoman's job. Yeoman's work. Yeah, Okay,
I don't know exactly what yeomans is, but I know
that's a hell of a job. I know is that
whoever Yeomans was, it's work means a hell of a job.
I'm gonna phrase it a different way. You took it
in that direction, I'm aa phrase it this way. There
is no way. Listen. I love Corey Thorton. You're gonna
(07:54):
hear his how his teammates are raving about him later
this hour. The kid seems to have something. I've seen
the corners that are between the first three and him
on that depth chart. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
there are NFL players long term. So in our corner room,
(08:14):
I have a pretty good feeling he is not the
seventh or eighth best corner. Excel continues to be I
don't think this crap matters. Excels over Cocher on the
on the depth chart. I guess they do now have
Matthew right instead of a tie, they have Matthew Wright
over Fitzgerald. In the kicking competition, Black Cheer remains the
return the kick returner and the punt returner Renfroz on
(08:35):
there as a second punt returner. As I read this,
I honestly I am not sure this means anything. Yeah, I don't.
I don't think so either, Like I don't. I think
they might have one of the chefs over there fill
this out based on on who compliments their meals the most.
We filled this out, yes, Dair, in our way out
out the building. They passed us a sheet. We could
do a better I think we could do a better
(08:56):
job than this was. Yeah, Row we said it as
far as return stuff in the punt return aspect of stuff,
just a guy that if you need someone to field
the ball in a safe way, that might be your
best option of a guy that you know is not
going to bungle it back there, He's not going to
necessarily go for a crazy return. That's the guy back
(09:16):
there and must have catch the ball situation, you would
trust everything with Hunter renfro to make the catch. Do
we really think black Sheeer is going to be the
kick returner and the punt returner. I don't think so.
I'm not. I don't know if I pick him to
be on this team. Yeah, he's definitely a guy that's
on the bubble. I know ETN drop one the other day,
but I think we're all pretty sure that that's more,
(09:38):
way more Nick Scott's fault than his. But I just
I don't know. I mean, I'll apologize to black Sheer
if he's on this team and I'm counting him out prematurely,
But it feels like ETN takes his spot because we
talk a lot about the guys that can't play special
teams in addition to their position and what their value
is with the running back, the three guys, the two
(10:00):
main guys at ETN, What besides the returns, is black
Year really gonna fully provide? Does you do enough back
within the offense the way the roster is currently constructed
to get a roster spot. To me, I don't think so.
I think other guys can do their return I think, well, yeah,
and Eatn is one of them. He was, he's been
back there. I think Eatn was brought into replace to
(10:22):
upgrade in their mind Black Share. I think they're essentially
the exact same role, you know what I mean, third
running back and return man. I also wouldn't put it
past Jimmy Horn to be out there for the first
punt return of the regular season either. Well know, three
of the new guys have returnabilities, whether kick returns or
punt returns, that's doubt all and the kick returns Renfro
(10:42):
and Jimmy Horn can do both. So three new guys
all have the ability to do some special team stuff
if need be. Yeah, they did. They did what I
thought they were gonna do. Bone Cade May's working at
left guard yesterday. I think that makes all the sense
in the world. If you were in a situation, who
or God forbid, you're down Damian Lewis and Chandler Zavalla.
(11:04):
I think he's probably your next guy in, either him
or Brady Christiansen. So I feel like it's it's and
that might be I said yesterday, bone I think that
might be part of why they ended that job ro.
You know early they added that battle for the center.
There's no need to mess around with Lattire or Jatire
or whatever. I mean, no offense. I know, I'm just
I know I'm going after dudes today. But it's just
(11:25):
there's no let let's get let's cut down to brass
tacks here. Who would really freaking play with the ones
in this scenario and play that guy nobody, right, You're
one hundred percent protect Bryce Young with the best five guys.
Let's not put someone back out there that I don't
even think is making the team. Like, honestly, I think
they played a guy with the ones the other day
bone that is not even going to be on the team.
(11:46):
Like what how does that help Bryce Young in a
regular in the preseason. Don't gonna get him hit and hurt?
You know?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
So?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, jatire, he's gonna well, man, you hate to be
mean to a guy, but like that with all the
offensive linemen that they have, like we we know where
it's going for him. Let's be honest about it. So
why is he out there with the ones when your
damn franchise quarterbacks health is at at stake? I don't
have the I mean, I guess they they were good
(12:14):
out there with plumber, no fense plumber, yes, you know
the role. I guess they wanted to look at him.
I don't know why they had to do it there either,
I don't. I don't have the answer to them anyway.
Am I grouchy today? I'm grouting, not towards y'all. I'm
grouchy towards like the roster. Yeah, you know what I mean.
You seem a little bit uh egg edgy, you know
what I'm ready to do towards me, But just I'm
ready to cut to the chase. I'm ready to cut
(12:35):
to the chase. I'm ready to get the best players
on the damn football field. And that's bad news for
me because we have two more preseason games ago. There's
gonna be a lot of time. But with the guys
that aren't our best players, I think you could see
who our best players are. And I'm ready to watch
him play football. People think there's some friction with you
and Fiddie going on today a little Biteah, we're good
because you sighed when he came in here and then
(12:56):
he made that mistake and you said, yeah, you called
him out from making the mistake twice. Now, you guys
got to keep me honest. Man. We aren't like the
TV guys. TV guys can't correct each other when they
make mistakes. It might embarrass them, Oh my god, we
might embarrass the guy with the TV hair. No, but
we pride ourselves on correcting each other's mistakes, not just
correcting and mocking them, all right, So if we ever
(13:16):
become one of those people, if we ever become bone
the media people that are too big to be corrected
on air, you got to get our asses out of here.
I don't all right, I don't ever worry about it
because I make so few mistakes on this radio.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, well that guy joins the show at nine o'clock today,
stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
P Man, Yeah, you can't correct Big Boy Radio. I
do feel like that. It's not in fairness to Willie.
We're not exactly just correcting, you know what I mean.
We're mocking. It's just it's dan near bullying. It's tough love.
That's our man. He just called himself a boy, right.
And actually, I'm not gonna say anything negative about P
(13:54):
Man at all because I need him to be a
part of something I'm cooking up here. So I have
a jump rope I ordered, and we're gonna do a uh,
We're gonna do a jump rope video, and I need
to see the P Man jobs. How are you? How
are you sitting around your apartment and you realize I
think good video content would be us jump rope it
(14:16):
because our friend Chavon Brian right, the anchor from WBTV
every day she does these jump rope workouts on Instagram
where they go like really fast. I'm like, oh my god,
how does one do that? So I thought that, I said.
I told her, I'm gonna try to get I'm gonna
try that, and I'm gonna we're gonna film it and
we're gonna see how we do. So I've got a
jump rope and we're gonna try and do it the
Rocky style back jump rope, and we may double dutch.
(14:38):
I don't know. We're gonna go really fast, and I
think P Man and his athletic background, great head rusher.
I want to see how P Man does on a
jump rope. Okay, I'm down. I'm curious now I'm curious
about that too, h P Mann. And basically the context
is we're getting ready to we're getting ourselves ready to
victory dance. We got to get our bodies at j
dance scamp or a dance scam. I've already conceded that
(14:59):
my victory dances will be abbreviated for the rest of
my life at this point in time. When P Man's here,
we will ask him about what looks like I know
Tom Bogert had the original report looks like it's pretty
it's it's about a done deal. Charlotte f C acquiring
Drake Calendar goaltender from inter Messi. He his role has
(15:24):
been severe severely reduced bony U Speter starter. He is
down now just three starts this year as minutes are
severely reduced. So I think this is a depth movie
keeper that Bingham's contract is up. I saw Caleb Adams
tweeting this out. Bigham's contracts up after the season, so
this is maybe thought of a depth move down the road.
(15:46):
My initial reaction is, of all the things we could
use on this team, why are we adding a goalkeeper? Right?
I mean, I guess it's just depth moving forward, but
we'll ask p Man about it. The initial concern that
I saw on FC Twitter was there something to go
on with Kalina? Is there something behind the scenes? Is
there something with him? And that was the initial kind
of freak out of why do you need a guy
(16:07):
who was a Goalie of the Year finalist right along
the way at Intermessi. So it was kind of like, man,
this guy's got a pretty good reputation for a trade
piece now, So yeah, we'll ask the p man. And
I thought, I my first reaction was, Matt's got to
have a reason behind this, you know, the roster and organization. Well,
but then you and he's just depth. I think, yeah,
(16:28):
I think it's just depth. I mean, the guy's falling
out of favor in Miami. Now. The thing is, he
had no idea. He was blindsided by this, like he
had no idea this was coming. So I'm not sure
he I don't know. I'm not sure he wants to
be here. I don't know about that whole part of it.
But it sounds like we're adding a keeper. But yeah,
I mean, if this dude ends up, if they're intending
for him to compete with Cleena or take Kleena Kleina's
(16:51):
reps away after what I saw the other night, I'm
gonna be furious. I'm just gonna tell you that right now.
And I'm sure that. I'm sure Dean Smith cares also
need to mention Fiddy how many home runs but Mets
beat the Braves thirteen to five last night. The Mets
break a forty eight game losing streak. At least that's
the way Fiddy and Flounder made it seam. How many
home runs did y'all hit in this game last night?
(17:13):
Like seven or something? Six?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
So they ran out of fireworks six, they ran out
of fireword.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh my god. And this was a Strider start man.
I hope the real Strider gets back next year. He
gave up eight damn runs last night in four innings.
His era is damn near five. Diddy mets, I what
am I supposed to stay back to?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I don't care about the Strober sucks.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I wear the full uniform. Yeah, it was kind of
talking to Bone about the Braves graduation. I said, you
said his name. I thought you were talking to him
For a second. I didn't know. I didn't know what
was going on. This is what happens to mac dawod.
This is what happens when you show up late world
to show we're not We're not. We're disheveled. I'm cranky.
(17:56):
I'm venting at the poor Panthers third stringers. They don't
deserve it either. Is your morning pooh? Interrupted?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Is that why you've count in a little little grudgyairs.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I didn't get one in. That's kind of personal, got
a personal come on, I mean, how do you de
crank yourself. Do you think let me let me direct
this to you bone. Do you think Braves fans be
concerned about Spencer Stryder? Yes, I think so okay, there
(18:28):
based off injury and there's still an unknown with him
on what that ceiling might be. He's got a very
very high ceiling when he's healthy, when he's on, but
multiple injuries, is he gonna be a what if guy?
Or a guy that that puts it together and becomes
that that Zach Wheeler, that best in the game type
(18:49):
picture what sale was a year ago. I don't know.
I think the I think the jury is still out
on him and putting it all together for an extended
period of time he can. He's got to stay healthy
and be consistent in everything health and performance. This I
have to believe. And he's gonna it's a four six
ninety or so. It's not. I mean I made it
seem like it was closer to five and it was.
(19:11):
But like, this has to be. He's not fully there right,
just has to be because I just like you say,
put it all together. I mean, when he's healthy, he's ridiculous,
you know what I mean, Like if he pitches the
way he has bone in the past. When healthy like
that is awesome, So I don't like it's just but
(19:34):
you do wonder about health with him. He's young, and
like you said, he's had a lot of these different injuries.
But anyway, I would have to believe, like if I
had to bet money on it, I would bet he
would come back next year and be himself again. But
like you said, then the question is do we think
he stays healthy? Yeah, and I think it's a combination
(19:55):
of staying healthy and getting your performance to be consistent. Again.
You could see him coming back back and being dominant,
but is something going to happen along the way that
stops it. So I'm not writing him off by any means,
but I still think that there's still more to be
seen from him. Ultimately. I'm looking at some of the
headlines about Stryder. Are opponents picking up on something another
(20:19):
after another tough Strider start. You also have Spencer Strider
isn't an ace anymore, but Braves fans shouldn't panic. So yeah,
this one is interesting, man, it is interesting. I would
not bet against his performance next year, but the health
is a different deal that I would worry about a
little bit. When we come back, we focus on college football.
We have an update on the John Matteer Venmo story.
(20:42):
A media member talks to the possibility of Clemston going
sixteen and oh and the game Cocks are all over
the Netflix documentary Sports Radio ninety two seven WFZ.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Davil Sweeney last week said he thinks number four Clemson
going sixteen to o running the table. Are you Paul
in or Paul out on Clemson going undefeated?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I am out, but I'm kind of in.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
What is he supposed to say?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Gary, I think we're going to go ten and six.
Of course he's going to say that, but he has
a reason to say this for the first time in
a long time. How about since Trevor Lawrence was down
in Death Valley, because this is his best team since
that moment in time. They are complete, the defensive line
is a lead. They are going to get to the playoffs,
(21:42):
and I think they're going to get very deep. But dabble, please,
sixteen to No, that's not happening because you're not going
to be the national champion.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
There you go, Paul, fine, but I'm always asked about
Clemson seems to always be asked about Clemson. I wonder why,
I wonder why they do that? Could have beat a
stir up Clemson fans. All right, that's Paul finem on ESPN.
So he's got Dabbo's backbone about bringing up the whole
sixteen and oh thing. But he says, you ain't gonna
(22:09):
go sixteen and oh the whole thing. When people say,
and we I'm not trying to get into this with
Clemson fans again, bone like last week over Dabbo bringing
up we want to be the first sixteen note team
and all that. We turned my hat back wharreds real
quick when my guy doc future redemption and uh bow
tie Paul text in or Phil bow type Phil type?
(22:30):
No he changed? What do he changed his name to?
Fiddy type bow type Phil? Was it he slapping sheet?
That's right? Slap in sheets is what my enemies? Okay,
how do you keep a straight face? But you argue
with that name. But anyway, when people say what Paul
just said right there, what's he supposed to say? We're
gonna go ten and six? Most coaches, the the the
(22:52):
overwhelming majority of coaches will never bring up record, right,
You can answer questions about the team without going to record.
That's all I'm saying. Like it's easy to avoid. It's
not the end of the world though, And by the way,
I think Clemson has a legit chance to go sixty
and Ozho personally like, I actually agree with Dabbo on that.
(23:15):
I don't know if I would pick them to do that, bone,
I don't know if i'd be picking any team in
this era of nil kind of parody, you know what
I mean. I feel like I feel like we've got
some parody here. I don't know, and you got to
do it at sixteen game. I don't know if I
pick anybody right now to go unbeaten. But I've said
it numerous times. I very well might rock with them
(23:38):
for the national title because I don't see too many
teams bone that I would give a better chance in
my opinion, to win a title too than Clemson. There
is a at least a loss on the schedule. They
bookend the season with SEC teams LSU and that South Carolina.
South Carolina has figured some things out in the last
couple of years, no doubt about that. They've also got
(24:00):
games back in the conference. I'm not making like predictions
today about these games. When they do play at Georgia
Tech at Louisville, they're kind of in that second tier
of teams behind the road games. They're kind of in
that second tier of teams behind Clemson. Like, would you
be completely stunned on the Friday night November fourteenth if
they lost at Louisville. I wouldn't stun me. I lost
(24:21):
Louisville home last year. So there is there is some
games there that I could see him losing. Yeah, I don't.
For the record, I don't see anybody in this year
in college football going unbeat Like I wouldn't bet on
anybody to do it. I don't feel like you have
bone like Saban's Alabama, you know what I mean. I
don't think you have anybody that great. I think the
talent is more spread out right now. By the way,
(24:42):
there is one man in the national media that has
gone on record and picked the Clemson Tigers to win
them all sixty to ohero National Championship. Aaron Taylor of
CBS Bone. This is the end of him on Inside
College Football on CBS sports Net. This is him finishing
his brack live on the air. I think it's Clemson
being Ohio State, and then he's got him against his
(25:06):
alma mad or Notre Dame in the title game. Listen
to this.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Clemson's a team that's built just like they were in
twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen. I think they advanced. Notre
Dame gets a very hungry Georgia top and we.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Know what's coming. It's time for some lugubriousness.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But I'm not gonna jeam smack team like Brian Jones
does the Texas Longhorns. I got Clenson winning wink wink
Notre Dame. I just think Dabbo, with his ability to
adjust and adapt and go into the portal and get
some free agent pieces, I'm defeat as a team that
goes undefeated runs the table.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Macau Is Clemson allowed to play Notre Dame for the
National championship? Neither one is in the Big Ten or
the SEC. Is that is that allowed? Or will that
be some congress stepping in here to try to make
sure that did the nap? If that happens next year,
Petiti and Sankee will be lobbying for a guaranteed spot
for one of their skills in the championship game. Auto bit.
(26:01):
We would like an autobid too the title game, that's
what we would like. Watch them try to kick. They'll
try to kick Notre Dame out of the playoffs. Oh
my god, isn't lugubrious the word that Willie p used
when he was working in South Carolina in a presser
to Dabo? Yeah, because Dabos is lugubrius. Yeah, and that
was that's the word Aaron Taylor was used in there.
(26:23):
So anyway, I thought that was interesting. So anyway, he
goes sixteen and Oh, I like, I might have n't
win in the title, but I will not have them
going sixteen. Oh, I agree with your point bone Georgia Tech.
You know, whether it's short SEC Louisville the two season games,
I feel like there's a trip up in there, But
I don't think a trip up really means anything in
the current college football landscape twelve team playoff. I've seen
(26:46):
some more national media people lately as we get closer
to the season, I've seen some more questions about Ohio
State lately and where do they rank in the pecking
order of national title contenders. Yeah, it seems like there's
there's some there's some legit. People that think it's gonna
be an interesting year for Ohio State this year, despite
all that, all the talent that they as still coming
(27:08):
back from last year. Where's the Shannon Sharp Jeff when
I need it, man, the big shaking his head. No, No,
I love so much. I am not buying anybody trying
to tell me, oh Man, Ohio State inexperienced quarterback lost
a lot to the NFL. I cannot allow myself, as
a man whose team has been owned by the Buckeyes,
to think that way. Y'all can talk though about it,
(27:29):
if you think that's the case, VIDI and say to
Ohio State and go Penn State.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Maybe that it's this this is the year, our year.
Let's go back.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
We are Penn State, we are Ohio States. No, I
can't tell I can't. I can't say that all right anyway,
But it goes back to the point we've been making
over and over again. Bone A lot of the teams
that are the big brand powers have quarterbacks. There's uncertainty, right,
and that adds it up limit of intrigue, not with Clemson,
(28:01):
but with you know, Alabama, Ty Simpson, with even Georgia,
with Gunner Stockton, even arch Manning to a degree, and
then of course the Ohio state situation. So it's like
these teams that we know bone have five stars all
over the roster. The quarterbacks are uncertain. So it makes
it kind of interesting. We have a celebrity text here.
(28:23):
I just put money on Clemson going undefeated. Sincerely, John Mattire.
Oh that's a good segue. That's a good segue there,
some of them. I'm a pro here at this, Okay,
So John Mattire in the I don't really know how
Venmo works because anytime I need to Venmo money to somebody,
or someone needs to Venmo money to me, I've got
to send them to my wife's account. You know this
(28:44):
bone for no man confirm The only reason I both
know that. The only reason I even have Venmo is
because it's for our athletic subscription, where your wife sends
me half the money. Every she has to transaction they
ever have, she has to do it for me. So anyway,
I don't really know how this works, but apparently you
can put the way I understand it, y'all tell me,
like you can put a comment on like what the
payment's for? Right? Just what this is. So that's where
(29:07):
John Matteer. Apparently someone's digging through his own Venmo comments
and someone needs maybe to get a life Offso yeah, probably,
and they find that John Matteer puts sports gambling in
one of them as he's paying somebody some money. Another
one like mentioned a specific game like USC, UCLA or something.
This was back when he was at Washington State. Oh
(29:28):
you initially said, hey, we're looking into it. They basically said,
we don't think you know there's any gambling here. Mateer
put out a comment essentially saying it was a joke
with me and buddies, Like I was joking about, Hey,
this money's for sports gambling. This nice for this game.
Are you do you buy this story that this is
a joke or what are you thinking here? I really
have no ate on what that joke would be and
(29:50):
why you would do that when you're already a college quarterback.
If you're hiding what it's really for, I don't know
what you're up to. I don't know what you were doing.
But that's that's again. One just said sports gambling like
in all capitol letters. Also wasn't even a game attached.
It said sports gambling. So I don't know what's going
on here. I have no clue. Less he and a
(30:10):
buddy had a joke going he unless the kid knew,
I can't bet on that, and there was some sort
of joke or something. I don't understand. Why are your
comments when you're making a payment to someone public. I
don't understand that. I never got it. Seems like something
should be private between you and the person you're sending
it to. Yeah, could you imagine what Fiddy's paying for
on there? Replacement for Anita. Let's say in the subject
(30:35):
line it would say Finder and Fiddy back and forth
would say bo Jangles, bo Jangles, bo Jangles, bo Jangles,
bo Jangles, bo Jangles. Somebody was fully sou Jangles bo Jangles.
Somebody was asking yesterday if he bet on games his
team wasn't playing in, is he in trouble? You can't
bet on any sport that is like an NCAA sanctioned sport,
(30:56):
like even in the pros. Right you Also, if you
bet on your sport, the punishment is more severe, like
so he's gone, as I understand it. Bone, if you
bet on a game involving your team, you're gone completely
from college athletics. Per the NCAA. CBS Sports said the
rule if you bet on your sport but not a
game involving your team, you lose half your season, So
(31:19):
it would be like a six game suspension. I don't
get the feeling this is going anywhere, No, because I
don't really because there's probably not going to be like
a lot of proof other than just what it's said.
I mean, and he says I'm joking, And how can
you prove he wasn't joking? You know, I don't know.
I can't really suspend him just for saying that. I guess.
Now here's the problem that I have with this. In
(31:39):
this internet social media world of twenty twenty five. I
saw it like ten times yesterday. Now people copycat that
and make up stuff about other quarterbacks. They just make
up their own generated you know, joke ones that aren't real,
like when Nora's sellers. I saw three of them yesterday
about him paying for various stuff, you know what I mean.
So every rivalty is now putting one about the other
(32:01):
team's quarterback on there. So here we go. Is the
arch manning one true? Have you seen the arch maanning?
I didn't have if they were talking about on Crane
and Company, the podcast with our boy Jay Crane we
had on last week, and it was like, now it
was that mL football account that did it. They seem
a little shaky, but I'm going to just say what
(32:23):
they have. Alleedgebone Arch Banning had put this comments section
stuff about but I don't think it was something called
pooh shisty was It was in my comments for his
Venmo payment. Something about nice hair was in there as well.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Well.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Then somebody asked Groc. Grock said the images are fake? Okay,
all right, So Crane and Company, the Crane boys fell
for that one. Apparently. Venmo also said, I can't even
I can't repeat what what Groc gets involved in some stuff.
Doesn't it gross? Explaining what some of those terms mean?
(33:00):
And I think that's nice. That's nice. By the way,
I watched episode five last night Bone of Any Given Saturday,
the Netflix behind behind the scenes in the sec died four.
Right now, Shane Beemer is unbelievable. I would play, I
would I would play for this dude, and I would
run through a brick wall for this dude. I love
Shane Beemer so much even more after watching this. I
(33:22):
really do, man. I mean's he's awesome in this thing,
so awesome. I saw what Oscar Oscar Adaway said the
North Texas transfer in its second year, who might be
really important this year? Based off the running back situation.
He said he fell in love with the thought of
going to South Carolina when he watched the office spoof
video a couple years ago. They did that. Yeah, the Office,
(33:44):
Oscar Adaway said, I got to play for this guy.
So you never know what may draw the eyes an
attention of a player, but things like that and how
he carries them stuff works. Man. I mean that scene
in the A and M locker room afterwards where and
I think this has already been out there a video
of this. I don't think this is like so I'm
not spoiling. Just something that's just from the shit. We
we talked about it last year afterward where he brings
(34:05):
his wife up because it's her birthday and they sing
this him and the team serenade her with Fantasia. I mean,
that's just cool. I just think he's a cool dude.
I think he comes across as caring about his players.
I think I just I just he comes across so
amazingly this this documentary, and it doesn't work this way
(34:27):
for the other for all the coaches in this this
documentary is a recruiting tool for South Carolina and it
doesn't work that way. Like Brian Kelly does come across
as warm and fuzzy because he's just name. But anyway,
when we come back, more on the Panthers and a
young player that keeps getting rave reviews from his teammates,
and a national media member has love for the Panthers
(34:50):
young wideouts as well. Mac bone fit Dog Sports Radio
nine Sevenfze just a worker.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
I'm actually surprised you went undrafted. I mean I ain't
litd at none of his college tape, but I mean,
from what I see, like he should have been drafted
because he's trapping, he getting the defense super fast like,
and he always coming to me every day asking questions
like how did you approach your first joint practice as
a rookie, or how had you approaching your first preseason
(35:30):
game or what you're thinking right here? And for rookies,
that's what you want to see. Just guys is willing
to learn and willing to try to get better every day,
and he got that.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
That is J. C. Horn yesterday says, once they get
those stitches out on that left hand, he's going to
be good to go. We don't know if it's going
to happen by Houston though, either the practice Thursday or
the game, we don't know yet. But that's love to
the young buck that we were talking about earlier, bone
Corey Thornton, who has impressed all of us with the
Campies hat, and then he continued it right on over
(36:00):
into the game on Friday night. Yeah, he wasn't coverage
on that touchdown first touchdown pass that should or thread
it in there between him and Richardson, but he had
a great pass breakup near interception. He had some great
physical coverage down the sideline on deep ball was right
there Brown, He's wanted a pid, he didn't get it.
He had three tackles including the what is the wrestling movie?
Pulled Bony the Alabama Slam Alabama Slam so he could
(36:23):
you just have someone over your head and you have
like their legs like by your shoulder and just throw
them down just so he did. He executed that really
on a tf that you don't know why that originates
from Alabama and why they're slamming like that, but it's
what it's called. Does it have something to do with
Alabama football linebackers or up? All up? I have no id.
Look that up. I'll look for you. But he's been good.
Xcel was raving about him the other day too, But
(36:45):
I like what Jay C. Horn says. Yeah, I just
I didn't watch his Louisville tape, but seems to me
he should have been drafted. I would think so too.
Hopefully he's not a guy that we're getting too hyped
about in camp. That has happened before. But man, he
just seems to have a physicality and a feistiness about him.
I like my corners physical and feisty. Jc's like that. Yeah,
(37:08):
I got some big guys. Jack's like that, big physical
dudes and that the word physicality. How many times does
that come up? Either Canalis and Morgan with us or
just meeting the media. The word physical might be the
most used terms of all the people at the Panthers
we've forar all all summer long. He's a good sized
corner too. He's six' to, one you, know so He's,
yeah he's a good sized. Corner he's comfortable with. That.
(37:30):
PHYSICALITY i tried to look up the origins of The Alabama. Slam,
yeah but apparently there's a cocktail In alabama called The
Alabama slammer in, it SO i don't know. What, Now
i've got all this stuff about a drink called The Alabama,
slammer AND i can't find the. Wrestling how about, this
every time he pulls An Alabama slam during the, season
you got a. Drink, OH i like. IT i don't
(37:51):
know if they'll do that, Again but, anyway let's just
when are we going to create a twenty Twenty can
we do that in The year Of Our lord twenty twenty?
Five are we allowed to create a panther drinking? Game
or is that like? TABOO i don't know what the rules. Are,
rictator you out, there we're just. Talking we're talking about just,
sipping like you, Know Tody. Pop that's what we're talking about. Though,
(38:14):
Anyway Sodie, pops let's move. Along due to time, constraints
let's move along in our panther. Conversation Here Jimmy horn
apparently practice had a great diving catch with it with
what looked LIKE. Pi everybody was, Saying Pat jones, continue
they continue to. DROP i Know panther fans love, this
right when the edge rushers drop into coverage in his own,
(38:34):
Blitz panther fans love. That But Pat jones continues to make.
Plays he apparently locked Up dowdele yesterday out of the
backfield and coverage and then did de seat belt celebration
at THE jc horn approval and. Everything Matthew wright was
kicking on the skinny. Posts he went four for five
on the skinny post, yesterday so that's certainly better Than
fitzgerald has been. Lately by the, way did you hear
(39:00):
they did the coordinators. Yesterday we'll we'll let you hear
what those guys had to say later in the. Show
But Tracy smith was basically, asked why the hell do
you use these goofy skinny. Posts he's basically like with
the construction going, on like that's we don't we use
what we have access. To SO i guess it's not.
Ideal but they're out there using the skinny, post or
As bone put, it the backyard. Post bone thinks there's
(39:22):
there's young wannabe kickers out there that have those things
in their. Backyard those posts are on nose. Epic you
tried that to get you went there? Again, Boat yes
it was. PhD, yeah you went back there. Again you
could have just laughed and moved, on but you're gonna
point OUT i use that one. Again it's all, RIGHT
i am gonna hold on a. Sad i'm coming over.
THERE i need to talk to. You did you see? That
it'll put you in The alabama Slamm? Oh, uh that's not.
(39:45):
Good you'll break my old back if. That IF i
if someone did that to, Me i'd be in a
hospital bed for three. Months. Seriously that's And butner almost
did that to you. Once, yeah that's. Time he wanted
to in The Clemson. Slammer he definitely wanted. To did
you see the clips of THE u Eleven Police Athletic
league team that Got? UH i, mean what memories for those.
(40:06):
Boys they got to come out and. Practice they actually
did a little scrimmage right in front of The panthers
and all The panther players are over there jumping around
cheering for them and. Stuff. Uh they had a player
bone THAT i would, start that's. START i, mean, god do.
THAT i would put in the mix at backup linebacker
for The, panthers, right do you see thirty? TWO i
did thirty two if you're Paying if thirty two's parents
(40:26):
are out, there, MAN i need to see that. BUG
i need to see that buck starring for The panthers
down the. Road, man keep, it keep, it eating right and.
Training all all this is going to do is lead
To Bryce hyde jokes about the kids that were. Out
he might have been Tolerantan. Broce he's not even good
on what got these jobs are coming. Through he might
have been tolerant in. Price, anyway that is such A
(40:47):
panthers every year that that's so. Cool they used to
do it In, spartanburg but now it's kind of kind
OF i don't. KNOW i guess it's. ALL i guess
it's cool In spartanburg, too but now It's charlotte based,
teams you, know WHICH i WHICH i love to. See all, right,
well let's get to the latest edition of a national
media member likes. Us all, right let's get to. This, Okay,
(41:08):
now we don't do, this isn't a daily. Segment don't
go selling a daily segment to, this BECAUSE i don't
know if we can find a national media member liking
something about The panthers every, day but it does seem
to be happening a little more this offseason than past
off seasons. Recently this Is Nate tice three TO zho
One football podcast picking he had to pick. Out he's
(41:29):
picking breakout players and he thinks t mac bone can
have a breakout right from the jump as a, rookie
and he also seems to like our young receivers moving. Forward,
YEAH i went With teto.
Speaker 7 (41:41):
McMillan i'm super high on. HIM i usually don't do
rookies for, this but he was the one that was
just so easy for me to, pick and just how
the team makeup.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
WAS i really Like cocher as.
Speaker 7 (41:51):
WELL i think down the, road this receiving room could
be great and how the roles could fill out HOW
i envision, anyways McMillan at THE, X coker as the
power or, slock maybe bump out THE z and like
that could be kind of the move, guy get him
on a, runway the horizontal guy and you, know catching
a run type of.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Guy SO i could. SEE i see the vision at.
Speaker 7 (42:10):
The very, least really Like, coker but, mcmellan, Man i'm
predicting a thousand yard rookie.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Season.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
HERE i think they're gonna feed. HIM i think he
can handle getting. FED i think that him And bryce
already show some chemistry.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Stuff so there you. Go we talked about this, yesterday,
like could t mac coker And lea get moving forward
next year right When felan moves, on could that be
like a great trio moving? Forward like, like forget about
the order right for a, minute forget about His coker
passing the league get could they just form a great
(42:43):
trio for years to. Come that's kind of my hope long.
Term and he seems to like. IT i like the
way he was talking about using a league get as
like the move, guy because, yes he struggled last year
hauling in some big, catches but matc his. Physicality if
you can find a way on a cross you got
to get him on crossers and. Slants get hit the
ball in his hands and let him physically just run Over. Brumble,
(43:06):
yeah don't. Worry that's there all the time about him
making moss ketches down the, Field, like get the ball
in his hands and let the other team try to
tackle that dude in. Space that's what they got to
do more of this, year, Though, yep get. It get him,
comfortable get, him get him, go get him in a,
rhythm and then maybe he als in those. Sketches. YEAH
i like that idea, Too and that's my thing is
can they compliment each other long term and just grow
(43:27):
together With? Bryce that's kind of my. Hope but, man
this wide receiver room is definitely. Exciting by the, WAY
i learned something. Today. Bone apparently Pooh shisty is the
name of a. RAPPER i had no. IDEA i had
no idea what that. Meant in that Fake Venmo archie,
manning that arch, manning Fake. VENMO i thought that was
a procedure or. SOMETHING i didn't know what that. WAS
(43:50):
i thought that was like a nickname for. ANIMAL i
didn't know what it. Was Apparently Pooh Shisty bone a.
Rapper so there you. Go He's memphis. Based did he
hang out WITH i think so close From? Memphis, right get, it.
Glow his childhood nickname was Mister, pooh so he became uh,
(44:10):

(44:48):
Offense it's, Pooh mackie AND T bone On Sports radio
ninety two SEVEN wfnz
When sty Oh is Mac and bo You guys are
the most entertaining sports program in the world. Bone gob no, no,
stop talking. You and I are a couple eating a
lady in the tramp. You're the lady on the tram. Yeah,
come on, come on baby, I was Boopy Boopy McLean man.
(00:24):
That's a great name.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Oh the bug.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh yeah, Welcome in Mac and Bone show here on
Sports Radio ninety two seven, Bone and Fiddy along for
the ride. We think Mac is in the building somewhere.
I believe I thought I saw him earlier. We have
not actually physically seen Mac Fiddy since he was yelling
towards the Panther locker room yesterday. Has he been seen?
(00:55):
Has he come out of the building yet from the Panthers,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I've got many an email from Mac. I got all
the sound that he wants from the show.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But maybe he is. Maybe he had a bad dinner
and he's down there. He clogged toilets sometimes delays them.
I don't know. Hopefully our guy is here and he's
not still at the stadium trying to start Brightce going
out of the locker room. Busy show today, plenty of
college oh there, he is. What's up, Maggers, how you doing? Okay?
Finny sounded so disappointed when I walked in the studio.
(01:24):
What are you talking about? That's the best way that
there he is, he says, Oh, here he is. Yeah,
you show up late, you're already starting craft. I don't
think Fitty knows when he sighed and scoffs. It's so
ingrained in his personality. You did walk in and I heard,
uh yeah, he started to disappoint Fitty. Yeah. By the way,
(01:45):
funny how Fitty found his mets gear. He had misplaced
it for about ten straight days. We wend of twelve
days he misplaced it, and all of a sudden, they
have batting practice against the Braves pitching last night, and
the fit dog has found his met Scared to Mary
bone neck. He also doesn't go see when you're not here.
I do get concerned. I mean, you were here, I know,
(02:05):
but when you're not near me, Fitty doesn't seem to
be on the move to go find you. He's kind
of shows he didn't lock the door. It's being starve
for airtime. I'm sure. I'm sure he thought about it
for a second. There, my bad, I let my teammates down.
Let my teammates down. Bone. I lost track of time
downstairs trying to dig up what the bleep stories for later.
We thought, perhaps you went back to training camp again,
(02:28):
like you're going there every day now, because they were
so kind to us that Mac though, wage just go
over here hang out with the boys, the team. I
thought we could just hang out in the uh, you know,
Homer hideaway just every day. Thought that was the thing,
and apparently security turned me away. Yes, we're back at
the comfy confines of at the wfn ZUH studios. Here,
(02:48):
ladies and gentlemen, the Chandler Volta Studios. Dare I say
one call? That's all Cvinjurylaw dot com, CEV Injurylaw dot Com.
There the Carolina's personal injury lawyers. But we definitely have
a lot of Panthers content, a lot of Panthers stuff
to discuss today on the show Bone. They're basically done
training camp. Yesterday was the last practice essentially of camp
(03:11):
at least you know that's open to the media and stuff.
Today will be a walkthrough and then they'll fly to Houston.
Tomorrow will be the joint practice against the Texans. They'll
have kind of a chill day Friday, and then they
will get after it's Saturday afternoon at one o'clock down
there in Houston. I've not heard yet bone about the
Texans plans with their starters. I'm kind of curious about that.
(03:35):
But we did find out from Canalis last after the
game last weekend that he is trying to play the
starters maybe a little bit more, maybe a little extra series,
yeah bright, Yeah, I mean we could see Bryce for
three perhaps, depending how it goes. I don't know much
about it, because you know, in the preseason, the focus
on the opponent is nowhere near, of course, what it
would be in the regular season. I do know that
(03:59):
Gardner Johnson got hurt, but I don't I don't know
much about like what the Textans have going on. I
have not looked deeply into Houston really all at that much,
beyonest with you, because I care about the pay. I
have this guy named c J. Stroud, h pretty good,
pretty familiar with him. Some people like to compare him
and Bryce Young. Maybe this year gonna be as good
as Bryce, But bryceon CJ. Their bro bance continues. They
(04:19):
were hanging out this summer and stuff. So despite the
fact that all of US fans will probably continue, you know,
hopefully hopefully Bryce continue to trend up and can be
you know, be compared to CJ. But those guys are
are tight as hell. So here's here's one element of this.
Of the of this week, we're still trying to figure
(04:39):
out if J. C. Horn will be practicing and playing
Thursday and Saturday, respectively in Houston. JC met with the
media yesterday basically said, like he did individual drills in
practice bone, but when the football was thrown to him,
all he did is just try to catch you at
one hand. He is, they basically don't want these stitches
(05:04):
to be opened back up on that. Apparently it was
an air airbag deployment in the accident that ended up
like cutting his hand, and so they're just trying to
let the stitches heal. Canalis basically said, if it was
a regular season game, he would one hundred percent play.
You know, you would just find a way to you know,
tape up the stitches or whatever. So JC basically said,
(05:26):
I'm I'll play in Houston if the stitches are out.
He has no idea if they'll be out by then,
So he's on his way back but not back yet.
But I don't think any of us are stressing out
too much about this, Like Jac's not necessarily one of
the guys that were demanding he's got to get reps
or else. No, I'm just thankful that it wasn't much
(05:46):
worse than stitches in the thumb. I mean, a car
accident that could have been so much worse. So we'll
we'll take what happened as opposed to what the other
outcomes could have been. Absolutely, yesterday, Big Newt was very
concerned earned on whether or not David Newton is aka
Big Newt. He was very concerned bone about whether or
not that was Bryce's car he got in the off
(06:09):
season with the new contract that he's very excited about.
And Bryce, you know, we already we had already covered this,
he had already said on social media. But David Newton
did not get the memo. So j was assured that
that that JC did not. Yeah, am I not explaining
that correctly? I thought he said Bryce's car? Oh did
I said it twice? Oh? Shoot, no, j C. We're
(06:29):
talking about j c's reck. My bad, my bad, jc's
rec Big Newt did not. Apparently I didn't get the
memo either, But anyway, to make a short story long,
the whole world, including Big Newton, now knows that was
a different ride. That was an SUV. That was not
the ride that he got. In the off season, Panthers
put out the depth chart, the second depth chart. When
(06:51):
Corey Thornton is still your seventh or eighth corner, he
is still a four string cornerbone on the depth chart.
I'm pretty sure they're not putting a lot of thought
into it. A zero maybe because there ain't no way
this dude's our seventh or eighth best corner right now.
If we played a game that mattered this weekend, there
is no way he is seventh or eighth in the
(07:11):
pecking order. If he's the seventh or eighth's best corner,
it's one of the all time great secondaries in league history.
Seventh or eighth. I mean that means if there's all
the there's that many guys better than him than Dan
Morgan's done some Uh, what's the what's the yeomans he's done? Yeomens,
he's done? What yeomens? Yeoman's work? Oh, okay, you work.
(07:32):
I don't know how to finish the whole thing. Yeomen's work.
What they call it Yeoman's job. Yeoman's work. Yeah, Okay,
I don't know exactly what yeomans is, but I know
that's a hell of a job. I know is that
whoever Yeomans was, it's work means a hell of a job.
I'm gonna phrase it a different way. You took it
in that direction, I'm aa phrase it this way. There
is no way. Listen. I love Corey Thorton. You're gonna
(07:54):
hear his how his teammates are raving about him later
this hour. The kid seems to have something. I've seen
the corners that are between the first three and him
on that depth chart. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
there are NFL players long term. So in our corner room,
(08:14):
I have a pretty good feeling he is not the
seventh or eighth best corner. Excel continues to be I
don't think this crap matters. Excels over Cocher on the
on the depth chart. I guess they do now have
Matthew right instead of a tie, they have Matthew Wright
over Fitzgerald. In the kicking competition, Black Cheer remains the
return the kick returner and the punt returner Renfroz on
(08:35):
there as a second punt returner. As I read this,
I honestly I am not sure this means anything. Yeah, I don't.
I don't think so either, Like I don't. I think
they might have one of the chefs over there fill
this out based on on who compliments their meals the most.
We filled this out, yes, Dair, in our way out
out the building. They passed us a sheet. We could
do a better I think we could do a better
(08:56):
job than this was. Yeah, Row we said it as
far as return stuff in the punt return aspect of stuff,
just a guy that if you need someone to field
the ball in a safe way, that might be your
best option of a guy that you know is not
going to bungle it back there, He's not going to
necessarily go for a crazy return. That's the guy back
(09:16):
there and must have catch the ball situation, you would
trust everything with Hunter renfro to make the catch. Do
we really think black Sheeer is going to be the
kick returner and the punt returner. I don't think so.
I'm not. I don't know if I pick him to
be on this team. Yeah, he's definitely a guy that's
on the bubble. I know ETN drop one the other day,
but I think we're all pretty sure that that's more,
(09:38):
way more Nick Scott's fault than his. But I just
I don't know. I mean, I'll apologize to black Sheer
if he's on this team and I'm counting him out prematurely,
But it feels like ETN takes his spot because we
talk a lot about the guys that can't play special
teams in addition to their position and what their value
is with the running back, the three guys, the two
(10:00):
main guys at ETN, What besides the returns, is black
Year really gonna fully provide? Does you do enough back
within the offense the way the roster is currently constructed
to get a roster spot. To me, I don't think so.
I think other guys can do their return I think, well, yeah,
and Eatn is one of them. He was, he's been
back there. I think Eatn was brought into replace to
(10:22):
upgrade in their mind Black Share. I think they're essentially
the exact same role, you know what I mean, third
running back and return man. I also wouldn't put it
past Jimmy Horn to be out there for the first
punt return of the regular season either. Well know, three
of the new guys have returnabilities, whether kick returns or
punt returns, that's doubt all and the kick returns Renfro
(10:42):
and Jimmy Horn can do both. So three new guys
all have the ability to do some special team stuff
if need be. Yeah, they did. They did what I
thought they were gonna do. Bone Cade May's working at
left guard yesterday. I think that makes all the sense
in the world. If you were in a situation, who
or God forbid, you're down Damian Lewis and Chandler Zavalla.
(11:04):
I think he's probably your next guy in, either him
or Brady Christiansen. So I feel like it's it's and
that might be I said yesterday, bone I think that
might be part of why they ended that job ro.
You know early they added that battle for the center.
There's no need to mess around with Lattire or Jatire
or whatever. I mean, no offense. I know, I'm just
I know I'm going after dudes today. But it's just
(11:25):
there's no let let's get let's cut down to brass
tacks here. Who would really freaking play with the ones
in this scenario and play that guy nobody, right, You're
one hundred percent protect Bryce Young with the best five guys.
Let's not put someone back out there that I don't
even think is making the team. Like, honestly, I think
they played a guy with the ones the other day
bone that is not even going to be on the team.
(11:46):
Like what how does that help Bryce Young in a
regular in the preseason. Don't gonna get him hit and hurt?
You know?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
So?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, jatire, he's gonna well, man, you hate to be
mean to a guy, but like that with all the
offensive linemen that they have, like we we know where
it's going for him. Let's be honest about it. So
why is he out there with the ones when your
damn franchise quarterbacks health is at at stake? I don't
have the I mean, I guess they they were good
(12:14):
out there with plumber, no fense plumber, yes, you know
the role. I guess they wanted to look at him.
I don't know why they had to do it there either,
I don't. I don't have the answer to them anyway.
Am I grouchy today? I'm grouting, not towards y'all. I'm
grouchy towards like the roster. Yeah, you know what I mean.
You seem a little bit uh egg edgy, you know
what I'm ready to do towards me, But just I'm
ready to cut to the chase. I'm ready to cut
(12:35):
to the chase. I'm ready to get the best players
on the damn football field. And that's bad news for
me because we have two more preseason games ago. There's
gonna be a lot of time. But with the guys
that aren't our best players, I think you could see
who our best players are. And I'm ready to watch
him play football. People think there's some friction with you
and Fiddie going on today a little Biteah, we're good
because you sighed when he came in here and then
(12:56):
he made that mistake and you said, yeah, you called
him out from making the mistake twice. Now, you guys
got to keep me honest. Man. We aren't like the
TV guys. TV guys can't correct each other when they
make mistakes. It might embarrass them, Oh my god, we
might embarrass the guy with the TV hair. No, but
we pride ourselves on correcting each other's mistakes, not just
correcting and mocking them, all right, So if we ever
(13:16):
become one of those people, if we ever become bone
the media people that are too big to be corrected
on air, you got to get our asses out of here.
I don't all right, I don't ever worry about it
because I make so few mistakes on this radio.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, well that guy joins the show at nine o'clock today,
stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
P Man, Yeah, you can't correct Big Boy Radio. I
do feel like that. It's not in fairness to Willie.
We're not exactly just correcting, you know what I mean.
We're mocking. It's just it's dan near bullying. It's tough love.
That's our man. He just called himself a boy, right.
And actually, I'm not gonna say anything negative about P
(13:54):
Man at all because I need him to be a
part of something I'm cooking up here. So I have
a jump rope I ordered, and we're gonna do a uh,
We're gonna do a jump rope video, and I need
to see the P Man jobs. How are you? How
are you sitting around your apartment and you realize I
think good video content would be us jump rope it
(14:16):
because our friend Chavon Brian right, the anchor from WBTV
every day she does these jump rope workouts on Instagram
where they go like really fast. I'm like, oh my god,
how does one do that? So I thought that, I said.
I told her, I'm gonna try to get I'm gonna
try that, and I'm gonna we're gonna film it and
we're gonna see how we do. So I've got a
jump rope and we're gonna try and do it the
Rocky style back jump rope, and we may double dutch.
(14:38):
I don't know. We're gonna go really fast, and I
think P Man and his athletic background, great head rusher.
I want to see how P Man does on a
jump rope. Okay, I'm down. I'm curious now I'm curious
about that too, h P Mann. And basically the context
is we're getting ready to we're getting ourselves ready to
victory dance. We got to get our bodies at j
dance scamp or a dance scam. I've already conceded that
(14:59):
my victory dances will be abbreviated for the rest of
my life at this point in time. When P Man's here,
we will ask him about what looks like I know
Tom Bogert had the original report looks like it's pretty
it's it's about a done deal. Charlotte f C acquiring
Drake Calendar goaltender from inter Messi. He his role has
(15:24):
been severe severely reduced bony U Speter starter. He is
down now just three starts this year as minutes are
severely reduced. So I think this is a depth movie
keeper that Bingham's contract is up. I saw Caleb Adams
tweeting this out. Bigham's contracts up after the season, so
this is maybe thought of a depth move down the road.
(15:46):
My initial reaction is, of all the things we could
use on this team, why are we adding a goalkeeper? Right?
I mean, I guess it's just depth moving forward, but
we'll ask p Man about it. The initial concern that
I saw on FC Twitter was there something to go
on with Kalina? Is there something behind the scenes? Is
there something with him? And that was the initial kind
of freak out of why do you need a guy
(16:07):
who was a Goalie of the Year finalist right along
the way at Intermessi. So it was kind of like, man,
this guy's got a pretty good reputation for a trade
piece now, So yeah, we'll ask the p man. And
I thought, I my first reaction was, Matt's got to
have a reason behind this, you know, the roster and organization. Well,
but then you and he's just depth. I think, yeah,
(16:28):
I think it's just depth. I mean, the guy's falling
out of favor in Miami. Now. The thing is, he
had no idea. He was blindsided by this, like he
had no idea this was coming. So I'm not sure
he I don't know. I'm not sure he wants to
be here. I don't know about that whole part of it.
But it sounds like we're adding a keeper. But yeah,
I mean, if this dude ends up, if they're intending
for him to compete with Cleena or take Kleena Kleina's
(16:51):
reps away after what I saw the other night, I'm
gonna be furious. I'm just gonna tell you that right now.
And I'm sure that. I'm sure Dean Smith cares also
need to mention Fiddy how many home runs but Mets
beat the Braves thirteen to five last night. The Mets
break a forty eight game losing streak. At least that's
the way Fiddy and Flounder made it seam. How many
home runs did y'all hit in this game last night?
(17:13):
Like seven or something? Six?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
So they ran out of fireworks six, they ran out
of fireword.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh my god. And this was a Strider start man.
I hope the real Strider gets back next year. He
gave up eight damn runs last night in four innings.
His era is damn near five. Diddy mets, I what
am I supposed to stay back to?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
I don't care about the Strober sucks.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I wear the full uniform. Yeah, it was kind of
talking to Bone about the Braves graduation. I said, you
said his name. I thought you were talking to him
For a second. I didn't know. I didn't know what
was going on. This is what happens to mac dawod.
This is what happens when you show up late world
to show we're not We're not. We're disheveled. I'm cranky.
(17:56):
I'm venting at the poor Panthers third stringers. They don't
deserve it either. Is your morning pooh? Interrupted?
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Is that why you've count in a little little grudgyairs.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I didn't get one in. That's kind of personal, got
a personal come on, I mean, how do you de
crank yourself. Do you think let me let me direct
this to you bone. Do you think Braves fans be
concerned about Spencer Stryder? Yes, I think so okay, there
(18:28):
based off injury and there's still an unknown with him
on what that ceiling might be. He's got a very
very high ceiling when he's healthy, when he's on, but
multiple injuries, is he gonna be a what if guy?
Or a guy that that puts it together and becomes
that that Zach Wheeler, that best in the game type
(18:49):
picture what sale was a year ago. I don't know.
I think the I think the jury is still out
on him and putting it all together for an extended
period of time he can. He's got to stay healthy
and be consistent in everything health and performance. This I
have to believe. And he's gonna it's a four six
ninety or so. It's not. I mean I made it
seem like it was closer to five and it was.
(19:11):
But like, this has to be. He's not fully there right,
just has to be because I just like you say,
put it all together. I mean, when he's healthy, he's ridiculous,
you know what I mean, Like if he pitches the
way he has bone in the past. When healthy like
that is awesome, So I don't like it's just but
(19:34):
you do wonder about health with him. He's young, and
like you said, he's had a lot of these different injuries.
But anyway, I would have to believe, like if I
had to bet money on it, I would bet he
would come back next year and be himself again. But
like you said, then the question is do we think
he stays healthy? Yeah, and I think it's a combination
(19:55):
of staying healthy and getting your performance to be consistent. Again.
You could see him coming back back and being dominant,
but is something going to happen along the way that
stops it. So I'm not writing him off by any means,
but I still think that there's still more to be
seen from him. Ultimately. I'm looking at some of the
headlines about Stryder. Are opponents picking up on something another
(20:19):
after another tough Strider start. You also have Spencer Strider
isn't an ace anymore, but Braves fans shouldn't panic. So yeah,
this one is interesting, man, it is interesting. I would
not bet against his performance next year, but the health
is a different deal that I would worry about a
little bit. When we come back, we focus on college football.
We have an update on the John Matteer Venmo story.
(20:42):
A media member talks to the possibility of Clemston going
sixteen and oh and the game Cocks are all over
the Netflix documentary Sports Radio ninety two seven WFZ.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Davil Sweeney last week said he thinks number four Clemson
going sixteen to o running the table. Are you Paul
in or Paul out on Clemson going undefeated?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I am out, but I'm kind of in.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
What is he supposed to say?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Gary, I think we're going to go ten and six.
Of course he's going to say that, but he has
a reason to say this for the first time in
a long time. How about since Trevor Lawrence was down
in Death Valley, because this is his best team since
that moment in time. They are complete, the defensive line
is a lead. They are going to get to the playoffs,
(21:42):
and I think they're going to get very deep. But dabble, please,
sixteen to No, that's not happening because you're not going
to be the national champion.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
There you go, Paul, fine, but I'm always asked about
Clemson seems to always be asked about Clemson. I wonder why,
I wonder why they do that? Could have beat a
stir up Clemson fans. All right, that's Paul finem on ESPN.
So he's got Dabbo's backbone about bringing up the whole
sixteen and oh thing. But he says, you ain't gonna
(22:09):
go sixteen and oh the whole thing. When people say,
and we I'm not trying to get into this with
Clemson fans again, bone like last week over Dabbo bringing
up we want to be the first sixteen note team
and all that. We turned my hat back wharreds real
quick when my guy doc future redemption and uh bow
tie Paul text in or Phil bow type Phil type?
(22:30):
No he changed? What do he changed his name to?
Fiddy type bow type Phil? Was it he slapping sheet?
That's right? Slap in sheets is what my enemies? Okay,
how do you keep a straight face? But you argue
with that name. But anyway, when people say what Paul
just said right there, what's he supposed to say? We're
gonna go ten and six? Most coaches, the the the
(22:52):
overwhelming majority of coaches will never bring up record, right,
You can answer questions about the team without going to record.
That's all I'm saying. Like it's easy to avoid. It's
not the end of the world though, And by the way,
I think Clemson has a legit chance to go sixty
and Ozho personally like, I actually agree with Dabbo on that.
(23:15):
I don't know if I would pick them to do that, bone,
I don't know if i'd be picking any team in
this era of nil kind of parody, you know what
I mean. I feel like I feel like we've got
some parody here. I don't know, and you got to
do it at sixteen game. I don't know if I
pick anybody right now to go unbeaten. But I've said
it numerous times. I very well might rock with them
(23:38):
for the national title because I don't see too many
teams bone that I would give a better chance in
my opinion, to win a title too than Clemson. There
is a at least a loss on the schedule. They
bookend the season with SEC teams LSU and that South Carolina.
South Carolina has figured some things out in the last
couple of years, no doubt about that. They've also got
(24:00):
games back in the conference. I'm not making like predictions
today about these games. When they do play at Georgia
Tech at Louisville, they're kind of in that second tier
of teams behind the road games. They're kind of in
that second tier of teams behind Clemson. Like, would you
be completely stunned on the Friday night November fourteenth if
they lost at Louisville. I wouldn't stun me. I lost
(24:21):
Louisville home last year. So there is there is some
games there that I could see him losing. Yeah, I don't.
For the record, I don't see anybody in this year
in college football going unbeat Like I wouldn't bet on
anybody to do it. I don't feel like you have
bone like Saban's Alabama, you know what I mean. I
don't think you have anybody that great. I think the
talent is more spread out right now. By the way,
(24:42):
there is one man in the national media that has
gone on record and picked the Clemson Tigers to win
them all sixty to ohero National Championship. Aaron Taylor of
CBS Bone. This is the end of him on Inside
College Football on CBS sports Net. This is him finishing
his brack live on the air. I think it's Clemson
being Ohio State, and then he's got him against his
(25:06):
alma mad or Notre Dame in the title game. Listen
to this.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Clemson's a team that's built just like they were in
twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen. I think they advanced. Notre
Dame gets a very hungry Georgia top and we.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Know what's coming. It's time for some lugubriousness.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But I'm not gonna jeam smack team like Brian Jones
does the Texas Longhorns. I got Clenson winning wink wink
Notre Dame. I just think Dabbo, with his ability to
adjust and adapt and go into the portal and get
some free agent pieces, I'm defeat as a team that
goes undefeated runs the table.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Macau Is Clemson allowed to play Notre Dame for the
National championship? Neither one is in the Big Ten or
the SEC. Is that is that allowed? Or will that
be some congress stepping in here to try to make
sure that did the nap? If that happens next year,
Petiti and Sankee will be lobbying for a guaranteed spot
for one of their skills in the championship game. Auto bit.
(26:01):
We would like an autobid too the title game, that's
what we would like. Watch them try to kick. They'll
try to kick Notre Dame out of the playoffs. Oh
my god, isn't lugubrious the word that Willie p used
when he was working in South Carolina in a presser
to Dabo? Yeah, because Dabos is lugubrius. Yeah, and that
was that's the word Aaron Taylor was used in there.
(26:23):
So anyway, I thought that was interesting. So anyway, he
goes sixteen and Oh, I like, I might have n't
win in the title, but I will not have them
going sixteen. Oh, I agree with your point bone Georgia Tech.
You know, whether it's short SEC Louisville the two season games,
I feel like there's a trip up in there, But
I don't think a trip up really means anything in
the current college football landscape twelve team playoff. I've seen
(26:46):
some more national media people lately as we get closer
to the season, I've seen some more questions about Ohio
State lately and where do they rank in the pecking
order of national title contenders. Yeah, it seems like there's
there's some there's some legit. People that think it's gonna
be an interesting year for Ohio State this year, despite
all that, all the talent that they as still coming
(27:08):
back from last year. Where's the Shannon Sharp Jeff when
I need it, man, the big shaking his head. No, No,
I love so much. I am not buying anybody trying
to tell me, oh Man, Ohio State inexperienced quarterback lost
a lot to the NFL. I cannot allow myself, as
a man whose team has been owned by the Buckeyes,
to think that way. Y'all can talk though about it,
(27:29):
if you think that's the case, VIDI and say to
Ohio State and go Penn State.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Maybe that it's this this is the year, our year.
Let's go back.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
We are Penn State, we are Ohio States. No, I
can't tell I can't. I can't say that all right anyway,
But it goes back to the point we've been making
over and over again. Bone A lot of the teams
that are the big brand powers have quarterbacks. There's uncertainty, right,
and that adds it up limit of intrigue, not with Clemson,
(28:01):
but with you know, Alabama, Ty Simpson, with even Georgia,
with Gunner Stockton, even arch Manning to a degree, and
then of course the Ohio state situation. So it's like
these teams that we know bone have five stars all
over the roster. The quarterbacks are uncertain. So it makes
it kind of interesting. We have a celebrity text here.
(28:23):
I just put money on Clemson going undefeated. Sincerely, John Mattire.
Oh that's a good segue. That's a good segue there,
some of them. I'm a pro here at this, Okay,
So John Mattire in the I don't really know how
Venmo works because anytime I need to Venmo money to somebody,
or someone needs to Venmo money to me, I've got
to send them to my wife's account. You know this
(28:44):
bone for no man confirm The only reason I both
know that. The only reason I even have Venmo is
because it's for our athletic subscription, where your wife sends
me half the money. Every she has to transaction they
ever have, she has to do it for me. So anyway,
I don't really know how this works, but apparently you
can put the way I understand it, y'all tell me,
like you can put a comment on like what the
payment's for? Right? Just what this is. So that's where
(29:07):
John Matteer. Apparently someone's digging through his own Venmo comments
and someone needs maybe to get a life Offso yeah, probably,
and they find that John Matteer puts sports gambling in
one of them as he's paying somebody some money. Another
one like mentioned a specific game like USC, UCLA or something.
This was back when he was at Washington State. Oh
(29:28):
you initially said, hey, we're looking into it. They basically said,
we don't think you know there's any gambling here. Mateer
put out a comment essentially saying it was a joke
with me and buddies, Like I was joking about, Hey,
this money's for sports gambling. This nice for this game.
Are you do you buy this story that this is
a joke or what are you thinking here? I really
have no ate on what that joke would be and
(29:50):
why you would do that when you're already a college quarterback.
If you're hiding what it's really for, I don't know
what you're up to. I don't know what you were doing.
But that's that's again. One just said sports gambling like
in all capitol letters. Also wasn't even a game attached.
It said sports gambling. So I don't know what's going
on here. I have no clue. Less he and a
(30:10):
buddy had a joke going he unless the kid knew,
I can't bet on that, and there was some sort
of joke or something. I don't understand. Why are your
comments when you're making a payment to someone public. I
don't understand that. I never got it. Seems like something
should be private between you and the person you're sending
it to. Yeah, could you imagine what Fiddy's paying for
on there? Replacement for Anita. Let's say in the subject
(30:35):
line it would say Finder and Fiddy back and forth
would say bo Jangles, bo Jangles, bo Jangles, bo Jangles,
bo Jangles, bo Jangles. Somebody was fully sou Jangles bo Jangles.
Somebody was asking yesterday if he bet on games his
team wasn't playing in, is he in trouble? You can't
bet on any sport that is like an NCAA sanctioned sport,
(30:56):
like even in the pros. Right you Also, if you
bet on your sport, the punishment is more severe, like
so he's gone, as I understand it. Bone, if you
bet on a game involving your team, you're gone completely
from college athletics. Per the NCAA. CBS Sports said the
rule if you bet on your sport but not a
game involving your team, you lose half your season, So
(31:19):
it would be like a six game suspension. I don't
get the feeling this is going anywhere, No, because I
don't really because there's probably not going to be like
a lot of proof other than just what it's said.
I mean, and he says I'm joking, And how can
you prove he wasn't joking? You know, I don't know.
I can't really suspend him just for saying that. I guess.
Now here's the problem that I have with this. In
(31:39):
this internet social media world of twenty twenty five. I
saw it like ten times yesterday. Now people copycat that
and make up stuff about other quarterbacks. They just make
up their own generated you know, joke ones that aren't real,
like when Nora's sellers. I saw three of them yesterday
about him paying for various stuff, you know what I mean.
So every rivalty is now putting one about the other
(32:01):
team's quarterback on there. So here we go. Is the
arch manning one true? Have you seen the arch maanning?
I didn't have if they were talking about on Crane
and Company, the podcast with our boy Jay Crane we
had on last week, and it was like, now it
was that mL football account that did it. They seem
a little shaky, but I'm going to just say what
(32:23):
they have. Alleedgebone Arch Banning had put this comments section
stuff about but I don't think it was something called
pooh shisty was It was in my comments for his
Venmo payment. Something about nice hair was in there as well.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Well.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Then somebody asked Groc. Grock said the images are fake? Okay,
all right, So Crane and Company, the Crane boys fell
for that one. Apparently. Venmo also said, I can't even
I can't repeat what what Groc gets involved in some stuff.
Doesn't it gross? Explaining what some of those terms mean?
(33:00):
And I think that's nice. That's nice. By the way,
I watched episode five last night Bone of Any Given Saturday,
the Netflix behind behind the scenes in the sec died four.
Right now, Shane Beemer is unbelievable. I would play, I
would I would play for this dude, and I would
run through a brick wall for this dude. I love
Shane Beemer so much even more after watching this. I
(33:22):
really do, man. I mean's he's awesome in this thing,
so awesome. I saw what Oscar Oscar Adaway said the
North Texas transfer in its second year, who might be
really important this year? Based off the running back situation.
He said he fell in love with the thought of
going to South Carolina when he watched the office spoof
video a couple years ago. They did that. Yeah, the Office,
(33:44):
Oscar Adaway said, I got to play for this guy.
So you never know what may draw the eyes an
attention of a player, but things like that and how
he carries them stuff works. Man. I mean that scene
in the A and M locker room afterwards where and
I think this has already been out there a video
of this. I don't think this is like so I'm
not spoiling. Just something that's just from the shit. We
we talked about it last year afterward where he brings
(34:05):
his wife up because it's her birthday and they sing
this him and the team serenade her with Fantasia. I mean,
that's just cool. I just think he's a cool dude.
I think he comes across as caring about his players.
I think I just I just he comes across so
amazingly this this documentary, and it doesn't work this way
(34:27):
for the other for all the coaches in this this
documentary is a recruiting tool for South Carolina and it
doesn't work that way. Like Brian Kelly does come across
as warm and fuzzy because he's just name. But anyway,
when we come back, more on the Panthers and a
young player that keeps getting rave reviews from his teammates,
and a national media member has love for the Panthers
(34:50):
young wideouts as well. Mac bone fit Dog Sports Radio
nine Sevenfze just a worker.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
I'm actually surprised you went undrafted. I mean I ain't
litd at none of his college tape, but I mean,
from what I see, like he should have been drafted
because he's trapping, he getting the defense super fast like,
and he always coming to me every day asking questions
like how did you approach your first joint practice as
a rookie, or how had you approaching your first preseason
(35:30):
game or what you're thinking right here? And for rookies,
that's what you want to see. Just guys is willing
to learn and willing to try to get better every day,
and he got that.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
That is J. C. Horn yesterday says, once they get
those stitches out on that left hand, he's going to
be good to go. We don't know if it's going
to happen by Houston though, either the practice Thursday or
the game, we don't know yet. But that's love to
the young buck that we were talking about earlier, bone
Corey Thornton, who has impressed all of us with the
Campies hat, and then he continued it right on over
(36:00):
into the game on Friday night. Yeah, he wasn't coverage
on that touchdown first touchdown pass that should or thread
it in there between him and Richardson, but he had
a great pass breakup near interception. He had some great
physical coverage down the sideline on deep ball was right
there Brown, He's wanted a pid, he didn't get it.
He had three tackles including the what is the wrestling movie?
Pulled Bony the Alabama Slam Alabama Slam so he could
(36:23):
you just have someone over your head and you have
like their legs like by your shoulder and just throw
them down just so he did. He executed that really
on a tf that you don't know why that originates
from Alabama and why they're slamming like that, but it's
what it's called. Does it have something to do with
Alabama football linebackers or up? All up? I have no id.
Look that up. I'll look for you. But he's been good.
Xcel was raving about him the other day too, But
(36:45):
I like what Jay C. Horn says. Yeah, I just
I didn't watch his Louisville tape, but seems to me
he should have been drafted. I would think so too.
Hopefully he's not a guy that we're getting too hyped
about in camp. That has happened before. But man, he
just seems to have a physicality and a feistiness about him.
I like my corners physical and feisty. Jc's like that. Yeah,
(37:08):
I got some big guys. Jack's like that, big physical
dudes and that the word physicality. How many times does
that come up? Either Canalis and Morgan with us or
just meeting the media. The word physical might be the
most used terms of all the people at the Panthers
we've forar all all summer long. He's a good sized
corner too. He's six' to, one you, know so He's,
yeah he's a good sized. Corner he's comfortable with. That.
(37:30):
PHYSICALITY i tried to look up the origins of The Alabama. Slam,
yeah but apparently there's a cocktail In alabama called The
Alabama slammer in, it SO i don't know. What, Now
i've got all this stuff about a drink called The Alabama,
slammer AND i can't find the. Wrestling how about, this
every time he pulls An Alabama slam during the, season
you got a. Drink, OH i like. IT i don't
(37:51):
know if they'll do that, Again but, anyway let's just
when are we going to create a twenty Twenty can
we do that in The year Of Our lord twenty twenty?
Five are we allowed to create a panther drinking? Game
or is that like? TABOO i don't know what the rules. Are,
rictator you out, there we're just. Talking we're talking about just,
sipping like you, Know Tody. Pop that's what we're talking about. Though,
(38:14):
Anyway Sodie, pops let's move. Along due to time, constraints
let's move along in our panther. Conversation Here Jimmy horn
apparently practice had a great diving catch with it with
what looked LIKE. Pi everybody was, Saying Pat jones, continue
they continue to. DROP i Know panther fans love, this
right when the edge rushers drop into coverage in his own,
(38:34):
Blitz panther fans love. That But Pat jones continues to make.
Plays he apparently locked Up dowdele yesterday out of the
backfield and coverage and then did de seat belt celebration
at THE jc horn approval and. Everything Matthew wright was
kicking on the skinny. Posts he went four for five
on the skinny post, yesterday so that's certainly better Than
fitzgerald has been. Lately by the, way did you hear
(39:00):
they did the coordinators. Yesterday we'll we'll let you hear
what those guys had to say later in the. Show
But Tracy smith was basically, asked why the hell do
you use these goofy skinny. Posts he's basically like with
the construction going, on like that's we don't we use
what we have access. To SO i guess it's not.
Ideal but they're out there using the skinny, post or
As bone put, it the backyard. Post bone thinks there's
(39:22):
there's young wannabe kickers out there that have those things
in their. Backyard those posts are on nose. Epic you
tried that to get you went there? Again, Boat yes
it was. PhD, yeah you went back there. Again you
could have just laughed and moved, on but you're gonna
point OUT i use that one. Again it's all, RIGHT
i am gonna hold on a. Sad i'm coming over.
THERE i need to talk to. You did you see? That
it'll put you in The alabama Slamm? Oh, uh that's not.
(39:45):
Good you'll break my old back if. That IF i
if someone did that to, Me i'd be in a
hospital bed for three. Months. Seriously that's And butner almost
did that to you. Once, yeah that's. Time he wanted
to in The Clemson. Slammer he definitely wanted. To did
you see the clips of THE u Eleven Police Athletic
league team that Got? UH i, mean what memories for those.
(40:06):
Boys they got to come out and. Practice they actually
did a little scrimmage right in front of The panthers
and all The panther players are over there jumping around
cheering for them and. Stuff. Uh they had a player
bone THAT i would, start that's. START i, mean, god do.
THAT i would put in the mix at backup linebacker
for The, panthers, right do you see thirty? TWO i
did thirty two if you're Paying if thirty two's parents
(40:26):
are out, there, MAN i need to see that. BUG
i need to see that buck starring for The panthers
down the. Road, man keep, it keep, it eating right and.
Training all all this is going to do is lead
To Bryce hyde jokes about the kids that were. Out
he might have been Tolerantan. Broce he's not even good
on what got these jobs are coming. Through he might
have been tolerant in. Price, anyway that is such A
(40:47):
panthers every year that that's so. Cool they used to
do it In, spartanburg but now it's kind of kind
OF i don't. KNOW i guess it's. ALL i guess
it's cool In spartanburg, too but now It's charlotte based,
teams you, know WHICH i WHICH i love to. See all, right,
well let's get to the latest edition of a national
media member likes. Us all, right let's get to. This, Okay,
(41:08):
now we don't do, this isn't a daily. Segment don't
go selling a daily segment to, this BECAUSE i don't
know if we can find a national media member liking
something about The panthers every, day but it does seem
to be happening a little more this offseason than past
off seasons. Recently this Is Nate tice three TO zho
One football podcast picking he had to pick. Out he's
(41:29):
picking breakout players and he thinks t mac bone can
have a breakout right from the jump as a, rookie
and he also seems to like our young receivers moving. Forward,
YEAH i went With teto.
Speaker 7 (41:41):
McMillan i'm super high on. HIM i usually don't do
rookies for, this but he was the one that was
just so easy for me to, pick and just how
the team makeup.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
WAS i really Like cocher as.
Speaker 7 (41:51):
WELL i think down the, road this receiving room could
be great and how the roles could fill out HOW
i envision, anyways McMillan at THE, X coker as the
power or, slock maybe bump out THE z and like
that could be kind of the move, guy get him
on a, runway the horizontal guy and you, know catching
a run type of.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Guy SO i could. SEE i see the vision at.
Speaker 7 (42:10):
The very, least really Like, coker but, mcmellan, Man i'm
predicting a thousand yard rookie.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Season.
Speaker 7 (42:15):
HERE i think they're gonna feed. HIM i think he
can handle getting. FED i think that him And bryce
already show some chemistry.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
Stuff so there you. Go we talked about this, yesterday,
like could t mac coker And lea get moving forward
next year right When felan moves, on could that be
like a great trio moving? Forward like, like forget about
the order right for a, minute forget about His coker
passing the league get could they just form a great
(42:43):
trio for years to. Come that's kind of my hope long.
Term and he seems to like. IT i like the
way he was talking about using a league get as
like the move, guy because, yes he struggled last year
hauling in some big, catches but matc his. Physicality if
you can find a way on a cross you got
to get him on crossers and. Slants get hit the
ball in his hands and let him physically just run Over. Brumble,
(43:06):
yeah don't. Worry that's there all the time about him
making moss ketches down the, Field, like get the ball
in his hands and let the other team try to
tackle that dude in. Space that's what they got to
do more of this, year, Though, yep get. It get him,
comfortable get, him get him, go get him in a,
rhythm and then maybe he als in those. Sketches. YEAH
i like that idea, Too and that's my thing is
can they compliment each other long term and just grow
(43:27):
together With? Bryce that's kind of my. Hope but, man
this wide receiver room is definitely. Exciting by the, WAY
i learned something. Today. Bone apparently Pooh shisty is the
name of a. RAPPER i had no. IDEA i had
no idea what that. Meant in that Fake Venmo archie,
manning that arch, manning Fake. VENMO i thought that was
a procedure or. SOMETHING i didn't know what that. WAS

Rapper so there you. Go He's memphis. Based did he
hang out WITH i think so close From? Memphis, right get, it.
