Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, Yeah, we have talks throughout the week, you know,
(00:23):
on the sideline, you know, always come back and yeah coach.
Now is again another thing that it's it's great to
have as someone you know that's, hey, what do you
see out there? He's always encouraged us to talk. Hey,
this this could come up. This is something that that's
going on. Uh, this is something that you know is
in the plan that I think would be good. And uh,
you know he's always communicating things he sees to me.
So again, it's it's great to our staff that they
empower us to do.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
There. That is Bryce Young saying, hey, man, I'm involved
in it too. A lot of us are involved in
what Derek Brown did by saying give me more pass
rush snaps, what Rico did by saying, give me that
run we just called a run to the right. I
know there's there's more specific than that, right runco right
r r.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
R baby running the right. We're gonna run, run and run.
Wasn't that from Rudy MC We're gonna run. I like
that old run again. That's the old school like coaching
right there. But anyway, so Bryce says, hey, we all
do it during the week too, not just on the
sidelines during the game, during the week. Hey, I like
this if if we get this look, let's run this
sort of thing, and you would expect that communication to happen.
(01:25):
Bryce was also asked yesterday about being micd up Bony
as well.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
That was that was very cool stuff. You've gotn't seen
the miked up Bryce, including when he hits the cameraman
with the ball by accident and then goes over and
apologizes him in typical Bryce Young, very kind fashion. And
I've got news for people now, Bone complainer in chief,
a few others that are tired of hearing about Bill Belichick.
This will be a hoodie free hour. We got Babe
(01:51):
Lafenberg from the Cowboy Radio Network, former Cowboy quarterback coming
on nine to twenty five year Babe. We've got uh,
We've got Panther talk here in this set. So in
less Bone, there's another report. It's another selagious report behind
the scenes that you and see. We will go hoodie
free here for the next forty minutes as we focus
(02:11):
on Panthers Cowboys shout out to ECU Big game tonight
for ECU on ESPN at Tulane. I think they've got
a puncher's chance to get this game bony. If they
can slow the rundown, if Howser can take care of
the football, hit some big plays, we'll see that should
be a fun one to night. You got three baseball
series still going on. And what else you got Thursday
night football? Get a Hornets preseason and as you pointed out,
(02:34):
how did Pucks McClain forget the Canes open tonight? Yeah?
I forget that. This is a hell of a sports
night man against the devil.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So that's it. That'll be a fun thing to watch it.
Goods got the Hornets preseason due tonight. Yeah, I gotta
drop that in there.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I drop that in there. Man, Come on now add
that to the tonal fit.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
All right, let's talk about if we lose this let's
listening challenge.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't know. I think it just goes on in
for Finity. It goes on until jeff rickord is like,
I just realized, neither of these guys listening to each other.
Let's get someone else in there. It's gonna listen, all right,
So let's talk about it this way. The Panthers start
two and three. I'm not on here trying to act
like somebody says, here comes where Mac hypes up a
two win football. I'm not on here. Maybe I kind
(03:20):
of will, but I'm not on here trying to act
like we should be elater with what's going on.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Well, we're sitting here at two and three. We do
in three. They are two and three, repeating they are
two and wishful thinking, My god, I screwed up right.
I can't read a listening all right, get off my back.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You can't speek or listen. But other than that, he's
very good on the radio. What do you think, Bone,
when you look at this season and it has been
up and down, and it's frustrating to see how bad
they were against New England, how bad special teams was
against New England, but against Atlanta special teams was unbelievable.
And then to see things Bone like the way Bryce
is capable of playing second half against Arizona, the last
(03:58):
two and a half quarters against my A. But to
see the way he started some of these games with
turnovers when he actually down the stretch last year really
took care of the ball. Like It's been a lot
of annoying, but there's been these glimpses of wow, I
like that. Look how much better the defense can be
in a couple of these games. Do you think when
you think back to what you thought before the season.
(04:19):
I'm asking all Panther fans this, do you think they're
very far off from our preseason predictions?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Not really, because you think about it, mag if they
beat Dallas, If they beat Dallas in their three and three,
that sets up for a very winnable Jets game after
that all losable.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But if they managed to get to four and three
before Green Bay and Buffalo, wasn't that sort of in
the range that we thought they might be in. Yeah,
so it might not be the best route to get there.
Some of these things that have happened, like the way
they played in New England that was kind of unexpected
from the start. Didn't love the way they battled Jacksonville though,
(04:59):
Jacks getting better. But if they were to get to
four and three, no matter what path they took to
get there, we would have to say, kind of in
the neighborhood we thought they would be in, and that
would be a win for me.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's at least in the new set in the neighborhood,
Like it's I'm not saying it's the same street. I'm
not saying bone that they have not started games in
an alarming fashion in four or five games. That's something
that has to be addressed over there, and they've got
to figure out why. And it's weird because on offense,
the canal is script is a strong point sometimes really,
but I guess I guess the script doesn't matter if
Bryce is like, oh whoop, see there goes the ball,
(05:31):
you know, like they've got they can't just hand them
points early in games. But I think two and three,
like maybe if I go back and look at what
I thought they'd be at this point, maybe I thought
they'd be three and two. So it's one game off.
But like, I still feel like this team can have
the type of season I was hoping for, which is
(05:53):
you know, I said eight wins. Can they get the
eight wins? They'd have to go five hundred the rest
of the way. They were one game over five hundred
for the last nine games last year. You know, they're
one game out of five, So could they go five
hundred to rest of the way. I think it's possible
if they don't beat themselves, if they get the guys back,
like Coker and Sanders and Cuba, and the offense has
to produce more bony starting with Dallas, right because we're
(06:15):
expecting Dallas to put points up. I still feel like,
do y'all think because I think bone there was at
one in three, I think that the vibes we were
all giving out is oh God, here we go again.
We're failures again. But I feel like after the comeback
win last week, I still think they can have that
sort of season where they're better than last year. Not
in the playoffs yet, but we view it like they
(06:37):
made a step towards playoff football, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I think the game that you want back. That's a
big difference maybe in how some people feel Jacksonville and
New England were flat out hemispaking like that's those weren't
really all that close Arizona. They came back, and if
you flipped that one around and they beat Arizona and
they're three and two and they're facing Dallas and then
the Jets, and we're looking at what the record is,
(07:02):
I think they we would feel like they are right
where we thought they would be.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We wouldn't know exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Remember the first seven games back, they were all toss
up we couldn't really figure out, like winnable not Winna BWL,
like Jacksonville Arizona, New England. You could say they were
gonna win, say they were not. But if they beat Arizona,
that's the way flipped the record around.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's the one. If you take one back, it's that game, right,
that's why you said three and two in your mind.
You just changed that outcome of that game. Can you
do that? Can you just change records? Give it a
shot if you can that. A lot of local sports
fans who'd be doing that, if if that was something
we could do. Seven oh four or five, seven oh
nine to six, ten, five games in, how do you
view the season compared to how you expect the season go?
(07:42):
And then there's conversations about the defense is playing a
bit better? Bone, Like I didn't think the defense would
be ranked twelve five games in. I thought it might
take some time to go brown. Like how many times
did I say in the summer, Hey, let's remember DB's
coming off this knee injury. It's probably gonna take them
some time. The dudes out there cutting highlights for highlight
packages for Brian Baldinger every week he moved.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
He he moved the entire Dolphins offensive line like an
assembly line, just all the way down, all the way
down the line.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He moved them all with a couple with one army.
Get out of it. He's crazy. And then you see
him do things like run all the way on a
run play to the sideline at three point thirty and
freaking make the leg. It's just he's just a freak
of strength and quickness for his size. So that's the question.
Are we that far off from where we want to be?
Seven oh four, five, seven oh nine, six ten. Take
(08:32):
the turnovers away and the bad starts away. I think
we can get where we want to be. A couple
of people bone not buying this, not buying this this
morning seven oh four number Homer Mack is back. What
a spin job you're doing right now? This is embarrassing
another texter. Here goes Mickey, pop pop, this is nine
to eight Oho, Here goes I guess they think it
is MACKI pomp pops. Here goes Mack again, where with
(08:54):
his loser mentality, he tries to tell the Charlotte sports
fans that mediocrity, or even a game below mediocrity is
a great performance. Oh enough, let Mac be a loser.
Ah gosh, I'm just saying I wanted to be around
eight and nine. I would have taken seven to ten
before the season. I don't think that's out of play.
(09:16):
I don't think we have to act like this season
is destined to be a failure as we sit here
at two and three. Bony plus, you brought up New
England and the Jacksonville like those games were pretty lopsided.
You're not even gonna try to say those could be different.
But I think you look at those teams and you're like, yeah,
I kind of understand maybe why they handed it to
us a little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
They're better, They're better early than we thought they were
going to. Yeah, I think that's part of it too.
I don't think when English should be that much better.
But still, nonetheless, they weren't close nothing. They went out
and beat Buffalo the next week. That changed the way
I viewed it again. You shouldn't be getting beat over
and over in these long returns here how good Jones
is as a return man Spoiled Sportsman said, we're building, baby,
That's what I'm saying, Like, we still have a chance
(09:56):
bone for this to be this. I think all along
they wanted this to be a stepping stone to next
year break through season.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I think that's in play.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
To me, these are the two most important games of
the season for the direction that we may go in
the Panthers twenty twenty five seasons. Yeah, because if they
were to lose both these games they end up I'm
not saying they're gonna Wait, if they did ended up
two and five, well that's that Buffalo Green Bay back
to back that we've circled as the toughest area of
(10:23):
the season, right those two games. But if they win
both these games and they get to four and three,
all of a sudden, you know, Buffalo Green Bay are
daunting tasks, but those losses aren't going to completely maybe
kill your season. They have to win. I think these
last two toss up games get to four and three
to give themselves a little bit of room for those
tough opponents that they probably won't beat. But if they
(10:45):
lose to Dallas and the Jets and then they have
those two teams coming up, the season could get completely
away from them very quickly, very quickly.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I you still have the Saints and the Falcons after
those two games San Frand and the Rams are after that?
How many injuries? How many injuries will Sam Fran have
when we get them? Can we have them with seventy
eight injured? Playlas by point?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Why do you assume McCaffrey's got a muscle? Poll by
November twenty fourth. I didn't say him.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm just saying the team, man, that's like a mass unit.
Although it doesn't matter they beat the Rams anyway. I
mean that they beat the.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Rams without all the end of the season, Tampa Bay
twice in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
That was pretty pretty daunting at at the moment. Yeah, Seattle,
I think it might be a little better, and people thought, yep,
Tampa Bay's real good as well. Nor coming Maybe I
believe we're going to get I believe we can get
to a point this year bone where we can play
with those top teams. Though remember last year we did
play with the two Super Bowl teams. Can we then
(11:41):
find a way to win those games? I personally don't
think Bryce is gonna keep turning over like this. I
know y'all are calling me a Bryce Homer. I see
the text that you are sending in. Complainer in chief says,
why can't Max spin the unc Belichick story like he
spins the Bryce story, because I see flashes from Bryce,
Like if you don't admit that that last two and
a half quarters might be the best prices played in
(12:03):
the Panther uniform, and those, like dreg Olsen said last hour,
those are some of the best throws in plays he
has made as a Panther, Like then you're just like,
but show me the good stuff with Bill Belichick, like literally,
other than he has an attractive girlfriend fifty years younger
than him. Show me what Bill has going on right now.
That's good.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I don't want to see what Bill has going on
right now, and I don't want to see flashes from
Bill either.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Good day, especially on the beaches of Nantucket. Give me
all the Brice slashes though, all those flashes I want.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Maybe this is a topic I guess for tomorrow. But
this Dallas game, when you think about what a win
could do to get them to five hundred, this this
could be if they did pull this off, this could
be one of the biggest Panther wins in a very
long time. Because of the vibes I think this will create.
It's Dallas. It means a lot to a lot of fans.
(12:51):
It's a signature type win for the Panthers. If they
can find a way to beat Dallas, the plane that
we could feel that they're on will change.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
We haven't been five hundred or above six games into
a season since the year we started three and oh
with Slinging Sammy four years ago, where they lost to
Dallas and they lost to Dad. We always lose to Dallas.
That's another thing too. It would just do wonders for
our mentality not to host those toothless, couthless bums that
(13:23):
are the Dallas Cowboy fans and see them leaving the
stadium like it would just feel. But we've lost eight
of ten games to these fools. It would feel so
good bone mentally to be walking out of the stadium
and all the Cowboy fans are miserable or they're leaving early.
That would do so much for us psychologically. God, it
(13:44):
really would, I.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Said when the show began, and I'll stand by a
Cowboy fans have been all fleaks, wild, quiet, except for
this guy named twin seven oh four oh.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He said, what are you saying, y'all won't be five hundred.
He thinks that you're on drugs. I've been told that before, sir,
but I'm not. I'm this way all natural. I don't know,
I just have it.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I haven't really got a lot of Cowboy interaction this week.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
You normally get no, it's not maybe tomorrow's the day,
Cowboy fans. I can't stand you, but show up tomorrow.
We should do.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Let's go at it tom You should play Who's smarter
than a Cowboy fan tomorrow. If anyone has an elementary
school kid, let us know. Cowboy fans at least make
a run at Fitty. I mean, he has left you.
He has left you, guys. Hot and freaking drink Man
wanted Fiddy to call the Dallas radio shows. We wanted
him to announce to them like they know him, that
he's no longer with them any.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, like it's a big deal, Like the hell, are
y'all gonna win this game? I'm now on the panther side.
What happened to that? Fitty? I thought you liked their
time so much. I'm a busy guy. I don't have time.
Some of my sitting on the phone and make phone calls.
You're watching the morning show all week. That's why I'm
in the Dog Russell, Seattle Sally. For goodness sake, that
is true. All you're doing is streaming the Morning Show. Man.
I'm mack. I I can't stop it when I get home,
(14:56):
like I have work to do. I need to work
on my podcast. It's like Breaking Bad. It's a good
show man. I mean, I don't know if I put
into Breaking Bad category, but it's a good show. There's
always something happening, and I just cannot wait to watch it.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Mag I had a lot too. I had a long
distance relationship for two years. God rest her soul. She's
no longer with us. But it's really hard mac to
find yourself in the doghouse when you don't see that
person every day. Somehow, someway, Fiddy finds himself in trouble
all the time, and she's three thousand miles away.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That's a valid pointo fit. How would you do in
a close up relationship in tight quarters? Man? Probably not good? Probably,
like you know Bill Belichick and coaching in college football,
Phitty's feels smothered from all the way across the country.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Fiddy's having trouble with a babe. We have no trouble
with our next guests, Babe Offenburg, Cowboys analyst for a
long time for NFL quarterback. He'll give us the insight
we need to know on Sunday's opponent. Babe's Next Sports
Radio ninety two seven WFZ.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ Mac and Bone with
you as we rock and roll here on a Thursday,
getting you ready football, getting going this weekend tonight. Whether
it's Eagles you mentioned that earlier, We mentioned all the
sports Eagles, Cowboys tonight. But we got ECU and Tulane
on the college football side, and of course we're all
(16:34):
about this Panthers Cowboys game. Could we get an actual
winning streak of two games? Can we actually put two together? Bone,
I think we've done it two times in like three
and a half seasons, or somebody to handle all that
type of excitement, that would be big. But we got
to go through the team. Bone. With the number one
offense in the NFL right now, the way Dak Prescott
(16:55):
is playing quarterback even without his stud wide receiver CD
Lamb is a bit scary. It's time now, Bone to
get some hit, some intel on what's what's making that
offense so good and what's going on with their defensive struggles.
Seems like they're playing a little bit better on defense.
Let's get a good scouting report on the Cowboys from
a guy that played quarterback for Dallas and four years,
(17:17):
I mean we're talking decades, has been the radio guy
in the booth as the analyst for the Cowboy Radio Network.
He is Babelfenberg and he joins us here on the
Mac and Bone Show. Babe, thanks for coming on with
us in Charlotte. How you doing.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I'm doing well. Thank you. And you talk about decades.
I when you said that, I realized, I guess I'll
be on my third decade next year. That'll be thirty
years if I make it. That's just I don't say
anthing bad, but I want to say quickly. So Bone,
my name is Babe. I've been Brandon is my real name,
but I've been Babe all my life, So boone, you know,
(17:51):
I always hate calling people nicknames if you don't know them.
It's like, you know, you meet a group of guys
and their buddy that known since college, you know, in
the fraternity he was snot based, right, so that's how
they call him a snot face or whatever. And so
I never felt comfortable saying, you know, I really I
don't know you well enough to call you snot based,
but can I call you bone?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I also like how your name is babe, but yeah,
you don't like calling people by their nickname? Very interesting,
by the way, why is your Why is your name babe?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Where did where did that come from?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Well, you know what, I came from six kids and
long and short. I used to just always carry a
baseball bat, like a plastic bat or whatever, and I'd
just be whacking balls, I guess as a kid, you know,
since the time I could walk, I'd just be walking
balls around the house or wherever. Obviously, we didn't have
video games when I was born, so and so suddenly
(18:46):
it became babe, like babe ruth, and the name just stopped.
You know. It's funny how I don't think anybody ever
gives you a nickname, initially saying, okay, this will be
the name for the rest of your life. So I
named if you know, I'm sure do Darryl Johnston, Yeah,
the former Cowboys fullback and of course broadcasted the Fox
and we played together. I nicknamed them the Moose. Wow wow, Yeah,
(19:12):
And it was one of and very quickly. It was
one of those things. We had a bunch of five
nine running backs, right, and they came into the room
the one day. The running backs were in the other
room getting the run game, and of course now they're
coming down to the quarterbacks and receivers room to get
the pass game. So they walk them through the door
and I'm sitting next to Troy Bateman and they come
in and five nine five nine, five nine, here comes
(19:35):
Darryl right six two two five, And I said, I
said the Troy, I said, I said, Troy looked at
look at DJ. I said, the guy's a moose among
the deer.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, having no idea that from that point forward. And
I remember he said, I knew I was no longer
Darryl when there were moose calls going up in Philadelpia.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Oh that's beautiful, man. That is a great nickname. The
moose calls were legend on this one though. You're you're
nicknamed after Babe Ruth. I'm nicknamed after because it's short
for t bone. Name is Travis, So I'm named after
a George Castanza moment on Seinfeld. I think you won
this one man, Oh, that's.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Great, one of my favorites. I don't know if you
guys are music fans, but familiar with T Bone Burnett.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
He's in there.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, I've seen his name's familiar. When I googled famous
t Bones, he comes up a lot. Do you have
a T Bone club? You guys will hang out? I love, Hey, babe,
what this Cowboy offense? A little scary to it to
us as Panther fans, the way they've been playing and
the fact that they've been doing it with you know,
multiple o linemen out last week I think it was
four ceedee lamb out for a while. How have they
(20:41):
been playing so well offensively with all these guys out?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, my hat was off to Brian Schottenheimer,
Cowboy's new head coach last week because to your point,
they had four offensive linemen playing against the Jets that
did not start in Week one, and it wasn't a
situation where a guy had been hurt and he came
back in week two where he was a starter. They
(21:08):
had two sixth rounders, a seventh rounders, and two free
agents on that starting line and they did a very
good job. You know, obviously they scored thirty seven points
against the Jet last week. So and you're art your
number one receiver in CD LAMB. So the coaching job
they did was fantastic. I will tell you, Dak Prescott
is playing really, really well. I've always been a Dak
(21:30):
Prescott I don't like to use the word fan because
that applies I'm up there cheering him on. But I've
always been a believer in Dak. Sometimes they haven't been
good enough around him, sometimes they haven't been good enough
on defense. But Dak Prescott has played some really, really
good football through the years, and he's playing just great
(21:51):
right now. You'll see it. He's in control, he's confident,
he's decisive, and I always say, you know, you've got
to be in order to be decisive, you got to
be confident, right I mean, if you're not confident, you're
probably not going to be indecisive in anything you do
in life. And right now he's just you can just see.
(22:12):
He's in his tenth year. He's actually it's hard for
me tobly called every game he's ever played. He's the
longest tenured quarterback for any team in the NFL as
a starter. And you know, He's just he's a veteran
guy playing really good football. Doesn't run like he once
did because injuries through the years, but ran just enough
(22:36):
against the New York Jets last week to keep them honest,
and he'll probably do the same today. They don't have
designed runs for him, but if you want to turn
your back to the defense third and five, he'll go
get the first down.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Babe.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
How big has Javonte Williams, the former UNC tar heel
stand out, been at running back this year to help
back in that offense be who they are?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Yeah, he's been great. Eight. It's funny. I liked him
coming out of college. And I'll be the first to
tell you I am not a draft guru. I look
at the quarterbacks in the draft. I played quarterback myself,
so I kind of go in and look at those
guys pre draft. But I don't look at every player.
But I did see enough of Javonte Williams. My sister
(23:22):
in law went to UNC, my niece, her daughter went
to UNC, and so I kind of followed UNC football
a little bit more than most of the college teams
and really really liked him coming out. And obviously he
had a good rookie season, tore up as me in
year two in Denver. But he has been I mean
(23:42):
he's been I think more than they could have ever
hoped for. He's been. Well, you guys saw him. You
saw him at North Carolina, you know, and he's just
the same guy you saw there. He thought he'd be
in the pros. I don't get too much into the
whole Pro Football focus focus and next Gen stata, but
his yards after contact are right up at the top
(24:04):
of the list. Well, he's a he's a physical runner,
and he's doing he's just doing a heck of a job.
And what impressed me most, and this is the thing
you don't see when you're just watching a game on TV.
You know, his past protection is outstanding. So he's been
He's been good in every phase.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
We're talking with Babe Lothenberg of the Cowboy Radio Network
talking about this week's opponent, the Dallas Cowboys, America's team
coming in here. Babe. On the defensive side of the ball,
it certainly has been different last in the league in
yardage allowed. What's what's going on defensively? It does seem
like there's a little uptick maybe for them, But then again,
(24:43):
they did play the Jets last week's I don't know
if if that's the cause for the uptick. What kind
of defense are we getting this week in here in Charlotte,
in Dallas Cowboy uniforms.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
It's been a banged up defense really from the get go.
They were missing guys when the season started. Now, you know,
every team is in that boat, and then the season
starts and you miss more guys. But they just haven't
had that continuity or cohesiveness. They play more zone than
any team in the NFL, or at least through the
first five weeks. Now. Matt Eberflus their defensive coordinator, who
(25:18):
you can see what you will about the job he
did in Chicago as the head coach, but he is
a good defensive coordinator, well respected around the league. The
people I talked to around the league will tell you
pot you know, he's a good defensive coordinator. Now, the
numbers have been terrible, but again they're playing a lot
of his own because they just don't trust their corners
right now. You know, Trayvon Diggs coming off an injury,
(25:40):
dron Bland coming off an injury, and they just haven't
been the same guys and they've so many of the
corners hurt that again they just you know, and their
sacks are down. They had five last week against the Jets,
but they had five in the previous four games going
into that game, and you know, places, well, blitz, blitz.
(26:01):
And I said, well, if you blitz, you all those
corners that you know you don't like, you're putting them
in man coverage. So right now, you know, it's one
of those things where you just, hey, you guys are
NASCAR people there in North Carolina and they're just kind
of they're just kind of putting duct tape on the
car and getting it back on the track right now, defensively,
but then they will get better.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Now you're speaking our language, Yeah, now I understand just
making laps out there, man, I got it.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
You know, I tell you a very quick story. Now.
Leek Horso, who was my college coach, he always told
me when he was doing TV, he said, Babe, people
want stories, not stats. And to the NASCAR thing, right,
I never sat in a car that did over maybe
seventy miles an hour. I had a seventy four nova
in high school. We're hoping to just go up to
(26:49):
the top of the hill with it, you know. And
I did. When they opened up the track here, the
NASCAR track, Texas Motor Speedway, I went out and did
a thing. They invited a few. I hate the word celebrity,
but celebrity is kind of out to do these test
drive things. You're in there with a guy, you know,
the driving school type thing. And so anyway, I'm going
(27:11):
along on the track, and you know, they gave us
some instructions beforehand and on, and he said get it
up to the wall, you know, And I'm like, oh.
And then next, you know, next lap, he said, hey,
get it, bring it up to the wall. You know.
Oh I think. I'm like, he said, hey, come on, now,
get it up to the wall. And I said, I
am six inches from the wall. He said, you said,
you're six He's like, you're sixty feet from the wall.
(27:33):
But when you're doing a hundred, when you're doing one
hundred and fifty miles an hour or whatever it was,
you know, But so you get an appreciation, what for
what other people do when I'm sitting there telling them, look,
if I get any closer, I cannot put a gene
sterotory index card between me and that wall. He said, no, no, no,
you got ten feet.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You know, it's amazing what they do.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
You mentioned in passing there your college coach, the great
League cours Though, who goes on to fame as one
of the greatest television football personalities ever. But you've maintained
a friendship with Corso since you played with him. What's
it What was it like for you to know him
as a coach and then to see who who he
(28:15):
became in the television world.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yeah, I mean it's been it's been pretty neat, if
I can use that word. I know it's a little
sophomore work, but it's been a neat relationship. And the
funny thing is, for anybody that's played out there, probably
at any level, including high school or whatnot, any sport,
you know, the guy that I had, the league Courso
that I had when I was playing, was not the
(28:39):
league course. So you see on TV. Really he looks
everybody well he was and he was, and everybody's kind
of like, God, he looks like he'd be so much
fun to play for. I said, Well, when he's coaching you,
I said, half the time he wanted to ring my
neck like any did coach with a quarterback right, And
I said the other half the time, I wanted to
ring his neck. And I said, now, I said, what
(29:02):
used to be we want to get our hands around
each other's next now we hugged. You know, it's a
whole different thing. You get older, and so it's been
a neat transformation. But you know, when hey, you're in college,
you're playing you know, I'm twenty one years old or whatever,
and you're just out there and you can go play
and you're having fun, and then you're going to drink
some beer after the game with the buddies. You don't realize, hey,
(29:26):
this guy, he's got a family. He may get fired
if we don't win this next game. You don't feel
that pressure of the coach. And I'm like, why, why
why is he so upset? Why is it? And ultimately
I will say he did get fired after my senior year,
and I always tell him, I said, coach, you're lucky
I wasn't a better player, because if I was, you'd
(29:46):
still be in coaching. You'd be making half the money.
I said. And people hate you. I said. Now, I said,
now you're in TV, and you guys know this, I said,
you're on TV. People love you. You made twice some
money and you work half the year. I said I
should be on I should be on commission. I should
(30:06):
have got a pick.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You should have got a cut, you should have got
a gout. What a lifestyle you set him up for.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Baby, Let's tight it very quickly. He is great. I
love coach course, so I think I know everybody does.
And he's been fantastic to me throughout the years, and
we just have a really good relationship. The one thing
I will tell you quickly about coach car so I
love you can't text him. He does not text, okay.
I mean he's literally ninety now, and so he calls you,
(30:35):
and he when he comes in. You know, if they
were doing the Texas OU game, which is coming up
this weekend, college game Day was here. He also came
in for the Doak Walker Awards every year, and we'd
always meet up and go have breakfast in this hotel
and whatever. Anyway, people always say, okay, babe, I'm coming in,
I'll be there. I'm going to see you Friday eight o'clock.
You know, he tell me about ten times he give
(30:58):
me the time again right now because he's forgotten. It's
just that coaching mentality. Okay, eight o'clock, eight o'clock, eight o'clock,
and he said, take down my number. And I said, no, coach,
you know it's got your number. And he said, we'll
take it down just in case. I don't think he
understood that it's in new contacts, you know. And let
me just say, Coach Corso has had the same number
(31:20):
since the cell phone was invented. So now there are
a few guys that, for various reasons, they say, yeah,
you know, I had to change that number. Here's my
new one, but but sorry to this day, he was, okay, babe,
take down my number. I said, okay, that's great.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I had one conversation with him as a guest booker
and he told me he would call me right back,
and that was in two thousand and five and he
has yet.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
He has yet to hit you back yet.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
So are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Hey, okay, I need I need to get the hotline number.
I'm gonna call him. I'm gonna say, coach, you stood
somebody up, because that's not like him. He's pretty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I mean, maybe he just forgot, like maybe he meant
to call me back, Like yeah, I assumed that he
didn't like me.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That would be going back. That would be amazing if
after all these years, you hit coach up and what
were you doing? Coach to my man Boone in Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
You know what happened? Hey, Boom, you know what happened?
What's that you didn't say, coach? Write my number down?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
That's it, that's it. He did run down? Did run down?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
If he thinks about that moment he told me not
so fast, my friend?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Basically, yeah, can I tell you?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Okay, so they're not so fast? You already you know.
How's cute and he's got that little pencil and he's
got the twinkle and the smile and everybody, everybody cheers
when he says not so fast. Well, that used to be. Hey,
if you think we're going to go up in the
he'd be screaming, right, if you think we're going to
go up to Michigan, We're just gonna go up there
and put our chalks on the field and blah blah blah.
(32:52):
Not so effing fast, my friend?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Oh nice, Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Every time, every time my seat for my relationship again,
going back to how things change when I see the
not so fast, my friend. When he would do it
on TV, I'm like, Okay, that's not the way it was.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
There was another word in that not so fast, my friend.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
But it was not said.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I love that he used as a coach. I love that,
I babe. Hey, babe, pleasure to talk to you. Got
great stories. You're fun to talk to. We usually hate

world on tonight. We're on uh, we're on Belichick and
hoo do you watch right now? What'd y'all tell me
during the break bone? Didn't you have a nugget during
the break about Belichick? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (37:59):
He was working the phones last night, talking to recruits,
answering any questions they may have. So, yeah, do you
imagine the questions that they've met. My gosh, coach who
beat up? I phone's gotta be ringing off the hook. Yeah,
fights in the locker room? What's the coach?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Where'd you get that? Students weekly? Why is this coach suspended?
What's recruiting violations? What's going on with that? Are you
shorty with the boots? Are you are you trying to
work a buyout? Are they going to fire you?
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I can imagine that coach you want to boot you?
Why can he work the phones like Hugh Freeze at
old miss Man.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
By the way, what a phone call that would be?
Could you have the excite with a Bell Belichick calling
you to check in?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I just wanted to.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
But you know that everything is fine around here, and
tell what the excitement. Don't mistake my monitoring voice for that.
I'm a defeated and beaten man here. Okay, I have
all the energy in the world. Oh, I could be
happier than where I am right now. Sure, what if
you got a call from Bubba Cunningham. Hey, belts me
Bubba while you're working the phones? Yeah, I have a question.
(38:58):
What the hell are you doing?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Oh man? Aj Bone, Your friend AJ is back with
a take that you might like. Will Wade and John
Shire are going to be the top tier coaches, head
and shoulder above the rest in the ACC this year.
So now video fight with aj. Oh yeah, how about it.
We got a new rivalry here. Good luck on that.
Let's see Myron says, strong ass offer Will Wade. Yeah,
(39:24):
the strong ass offers are not legal, man. Another reason
why I think Will Wade can succeed at State.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Mac twin seven O four. A cowboy fan wants to
know if he's allowed to call the show tomorrow. Would
we take a phone call tomorrow as a as a
cowboy fan calling them?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
He seems kind of frisky. Yeah. Three, Let's say he
gets one minute at the end of the show. You
know what, we should have him debate with sirwoing tomorrow.
What we should do? Oh you want sir Lloin's pep
talk to be back and forth? Yeah, do your own
pep talk seven o four dueling pep talks. Maybe that's
what it is. Let's do it. Let's do dueling pep talks.
All right, ain't you ain't out pepin Sir Lloins thirty
five seventeen phone call tomorrow. No, we'll tell you that
(39:59):
right now. Hold on, don't spoil it. Oh my bad?
How dare I?
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Hew?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Dare I? Bill Wilmer duke fan finds the Bill Belichick
thing amusing says in order to in order to negotiate
a buy out, UNC will call up their highly successful
favorite law firm of cheat them and beat them. So
there you go. They got good lawyers. Man, Them lawyers
got work done, all right. Don't be hating Wilma, don't
be jelly the man city lawyers. Man, Man, I know
(40:26):
I know something about baby blue teams that have good lawyers.
All right, as a Manchester City fan, you got me
on that one. There's a Texter mad at me because
when talking to Babe, I called the Cowboys America's team.
I was just trying to be nice to him. It
makes me want to vomit. To sir, I'm sorry. I
was just trying to be nice to the guy. You
know what I mean, Bony, Yeah, that's all. That's all
(40:47):
that was happening there. Let's see what else is going on.
At what point will Mac give up on Bryce? That's
Buckeye Dave. I am reevaluate at the end of the season, sir.
I'm gonna evaluate at the end of the season. I
believe he deserves this full season. Let's get Cocher back,
Let's get Sanders and Cuba back. Let's see how this
season goes, and then we'll evaluate it then. Instead of
(41:08):
you guys after every fumble or turnover, and he's got
to cut down on him. But after fumble, every fumble
and turnover, you guys determine again he should be fired.
You know right, I just let's let this thing play
out this season. This texture says Mac was ready to
hit the dump button when Babe mentioned he doesn't get
into the next gen or the PFF stats. How dare you, sir?
(41:31):
By the way, speaking of PFF stats, the Panthers number
one in the league offensive line in impact run blocking percentage.
They're run blocking their hinees off. Mackie's stats is going
deep already. How about that? Take that, Stad, Babe Laffenberg.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
By the way, Cowboy Twin is in for the pep
talk tomorrow, though he did say, uh, sir Woyd is
a crazy man.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Though, Oh, sir, Lloin's bringing it right after you. You
ain't out peppin to loiny, baby, You ain't doing that.
Let's see what else we have going on. In the
text line, this texter says, I wonder how many accidents
start being eighty five on the way back to Gastonia
if the Panthers beat the Cowboys on Sunday, A lot
of it angry, A lot of angry cowboy.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
For you do have that theory that a lot of
the local Cowboys fans think that the Dallas Day roof
for is.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
In North Carolina. They were looking for the stadium boat
Lands two weeks ago, and they're like where's the stadium?
Oh man, we have a texture that suggests that Duke
buy the rights to the footage from the now canceled
unc Hulu documentary and show it to football recruits. This
is gonna get out one day, right, It's gonna have
(42:32):
to do. I need it, I need it. I need
the damn footage. I need Bill's last dance. I need
Jordan Bill pillowtalk. I need to know what possibly happens
when those two are hanging out. All right, we gotta
get out of here. We gotta get out of here tonight.
I'm looking forward to watching watching the Hornets in the preseason. ECU,
(42:52):
get it done tonight, Kanes, get the season started, all right,
Bony pucks, McLean pucks. McLain could lock in for a
good six minute stretching his game. Potentially, We're out of here.
We'll talk to you all tomorrow on a Football Friday.
Colin Huger coming up next.
Yeah, Yeah, we have talks throughout the week, you know,
(00:23):
on the sideline, you know, always come back and yeah coach.
Now is again another thing that it's it's great to
have as someone you know that's, hey, what do you
see out there? He's always encouraged us to talk. Hey,
this this could come up. This is something that that's
going on. Uh, this is something that you know is
in the plan that I think would be good. And uh,
you know he's always communicating things he sees to me.
So again, it's it's great to our staff that they
empower us to do.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
There. That is Bryce Young saying, hey, man, I'm involved
in it too. A lot of us are involved in
what Derek Brown did by saying give me more pass
rush snaps, what Rico did by saying, give me that
run we just called a run to the right. I
know there's there's more specific than that, right runco right
r r.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
R baby running the right. We're gonna run, run and run.
Wasn't that from Rudy MC We're gonna run. I like
that old run again. That's the old school like coaching
right there. But anyway, so Bryce says, hey, we all
do it during the week too, not just on the
sidelines during the game, during the week. Hey, I like
this if if we get this look, let's run this
sort of thing, and you would expect that communication to happen.
(01:25):
Bryce was also asked yesterday about being micd up Bony
as well.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
That was that was very cool stuff. You've gotn't seen
the miked up Bryce, including when he hits the cameraman
with the ball by accident and then goes over and
apologizes him in typical Bryce Young, very kind fashion. And
I've got news for people now, Bone complainer in chief,
a few others that are tired of hearing about Bill Belichick.
This will be a hoodie free hour. We got Babe
(01:51):
Lafenberg from the Cowboy Radio Network, former Cowboy quarterback coming
on nine to twenty five year Babe. We've got uh,
We've got Panther talk here in this set. So in
less Bone, there's another report. It's another selagious report behind
the scenes that you and see. We will go hoodie
free here for the next forty minutes as we focus
(02:11):
on Panthers Cowboys shout out to ECU Big game tonight
for ECU on ESPN at Tulane. I think they've got
a puncher's chance to get this game bony. If they
can slow the rundown, if Howser can take care of
the football, hit some big plays, we'll see that should
be a fun one to night. You got three baseball
series still going on. And what else you got Thursday
night football? Get a Hornets preseason and as you pointed out,
(02:34):
how did Pucks McClain forget the Canes open tonight? Yeah?
I forget that. This is a hell of a sports
night man against the devil.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So that's it. That'll be a fun thing to watch it.
Goods got the Hornets preseason due tonight. Yeah, I gotta
drop that in there.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I drop that in there. Man, Come on now add
that to the tonal fit.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
All right, let's talk about if we lose this let's
listening challenge.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I don't know. I think it just goes on in
for Finity. It goes on until jeff rickord is like,
I just realized, neither of these guys listening to each other.
Let's get someone else in there. It's gonna listen, all right,
So let's talk about it this way. The Panthers start
two and three. I'm not on here trying to act
like somebody says, here comes where Mac hypes up a
two win football. I'm not on here. Maybe I kind
(03:20):
of will, but I'm not on here trying to act
like we should be elater with what's going on.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Well, we're sitting here at two and three. We do
in three. They are two and three, repeating they are
two and wishful thinking, My god, I screwed up right.
I can't read a listening all right, get off my back.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You can't speek or listen. But other than that, he's
very good on the radio. What do you think, Bone,
when you look at this season and it has been
up and down, and it's frustrating to see how bad
they were against New England, how bad special teams was
against New England, but against Atlanta special teams was unbelievable.
And then to see things Bone like the way Bryce
is capable of playing second half against Arizona, the last
(03:58):
two and a half quarters against my A. But to
see the way he started some of these games with
turnovers when he actually down the stretch last year really
took care of the ball. Like It's been a lot
of annoying, but there's been these glimpses of wow, I
like that. Look how much better the defense can be
in a couple of these games. Do you think when
you think back to what you thought before the season.
(04:19):
I'm asking all Panther fans this, do you think they're
very far off from our preseason predictions?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Not really, because you think about it, mag if they
beat Dallas, If they beat Dallas in their three and three,
that sets up for a very winnable Jets game after
that all losable.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But if they managed to get to four and three
before Green Bay and Buffalo, wasn't that sort of in
the range that we thought they might be in. Yeah,
so it might not be the best route to get there.
Some of these things that have happened, like the way
they played in New England that was kind of unexpected
from the start. Didn't love the way they battled Jacksonville though,
(04:59):
Jacks getting better. But if they were to get to
four and three, no matter what path they took to
get there, we would have to say, kind of in
the neighborhood we thought they would be in, and that
would be a win for me.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's at least in the new set in the neighborhood,
Like it's I'm not saying it's the same street. I'm
not saying bone that they have not started games in
an alarming fashion in four or five games. That's something
that has to be addressed over there, and they've got
to figure out why. And it's weird because on offense,
the canal is script is a strong point sometimes really,
but I guess I guess the script doesn't matter if
Bryce is like, oh whoop, see there goes the ball,
(05:31):
you know, like they've got they can't just hand them
points early in games. But I think two and three,
like maybe if I go back and look at what
I thought they'd be at this point, maybe I thought
they'd be three and two. So it's one game off.
But like, I still feel like this team can have
the type of season I was hoping for, which is
(05:53):
you know, I said eight wins. Can they get the
eight wins? They'd have to go five hundred the rest
of the way. They were one game over five hundred
for the last nine games last year. You know, they're
one game out of five, So could they go five
hundred to rest of the way. I think it's possible
if they don't beat themselves, if they get the guys back,
like Coker and Sanders and Cuba, and the offense has
to produce more bony starting with Dallas, right because we're
(06:15):
expecting Dallas to put points up. I still feel like,
do y'all think because I think bone there was at
one in three, I think that the vibes we were
all giving out is oh God, here we go again.
We're failures again. But I feel like after the comeback
win last week, I still think they can have that
sort of season where they're better than last year. Not
in the playoffs yet, but we view it like they
(06:37):
made a step towards playoff football, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I think the game that you want back. That's a
big difference maybe in how some people feel Jacksonville and
New England were flat out hemispaking like that's those weren't
really all that close Arizona. They came back, and if
you flipped that one around and they beat Arizona and
they're three and two and they're facing Dallas and then
the Jets, and we're looking at what the record is,
(07:02):
I think they we would feel like they are right
where we thought they would be.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We wouldn't know exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Remember the first seven games back, they were all toss
up we couldn't really figure out, like winnable not Winna BWL,
like Jacksonville Arizona, New England. You could say they were
gonna win, say they were not. But if they beat Arizona,
that's the way flipped the record around.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's the one. If you take one back, it's that game, right,
that's why you said three and two in your mind.
You just changed that outcome of that game. Can you
do that? Can you just change records? Give it a
shot if you can that. A lot of local sports
fans who'd be doing that, if if that was something
we could do. Seven oh four or five, seven oh
nine to six, ten, five games in, how do you
view the season compared to how you expect the season go?
(07:42):
And then there's conversations about the defense is playing a
bit better? Bone, Like I didn't think the defense would
be ranked twelve five games in. I thought it might
take some time to go brown. Like how many times
did I say in the summer, Hey, let's remember DB's
coming off this knee injury. It's probably gonna take them
some time. The dudes out there cutting highlights for highlight
packages for Brian Baldinger every week he moved.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
He he moved the entire Dolphins offensive line like an
assembly line, just all the way down, all the way
down the line.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He moved them all with a couple with one army.
Get out of it. He's crazy. And then you see
him do things like run all the way on a
run play to the sideline at three point thirty and
freaking make the leg. It's just he's just a freak
of strength and quickness for his size. So that's the question.
Are we that far off from where we want to be?
Seven oh four, five, seven oh nine, six ten. Take
(08:32):
the turnovers away and the bad starts away. I think
we can get where we want to be. A couple
of people bone not buying this, not buying this this
morning seven oh four number Homer Mack is back. What
a spin job you're doing right now? This is embarrassing
another texter. Here goes Mickey, pop pop, this is nine
to eight Oho, Here goes I guess they think it
is MACKI pomp pops. Here goes Mack again, where with
(08:54):
his loser mentality, he tries to tell the Charlotte sports
fans that mediocrity, or even a game below mediocrity is
a great performance. Oh enough, let Mac be a loser.
Ah gosh, I'm just saying I wanted to be around
eight and nine. I would have taken seven to ten
before the season. I don't think that's out of play.
(09:16):
I don't think we have to act like this season
is destined to be a failure as we sit here
at two and three. Bony plus, you brought up New
England and the Jacksonville like those games were pretty lopsided.
You're not even gonna try to say those could be different.
But I think you look at those teams and you're like, yeah,
I kind of understand maybe why they handed it to
us a little bit.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
They're better, They're better early than we thought they were
going to. Yeah, I think that's part of it too.
I don't think when English should be that much better.
But still, nonetheless, they weren't close nothing. They went out
and beat Buffalo the next week. That changed the way
I viewed it again. You shouldn't be getting beat over
and over in these long returns here how good Jones
is as a return man Spoiled Sportsman said, we're building, baby,
That's what I'm saying, Like, we still have a chance
(09:56):
bone for this to be this. I think all along
they wanted this to be a stepping stone to next
year break through season.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I think that's in play.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
To me, these are the two most important games of
the season for the direction that we may go in
the Panthers twenty twenty five seasons. Yeah, because if they
were to lose both these games they end up I'm
not saying they're gonna Wait, if they did ended up
two and five, well that's that Buffalo Green Bay back
to back that we've circled as the toughest area of
(10:23):
the season, right those two games. But if they win
both these games and they get to four and three,
all of a sudden, you know, Buffalo Green Bay are
daunting tasks, but those losses aren't going to completely maybe
kill your season. They have to win. I think these
last two toss up games get to four and three
to give themselves a little bit of room for those
tough opponents that they probably won't beat. But if they
(10:45):
lose to Dallas and the Jets and then they have
those two teams coming up, the season could get completely
away from them very quickly, very quickly.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I you still have the Saints and the Falcons after
those two games San Frand and the Rams are after that?
How many injuries? How many injuries will Sam Fran have
when we get them? Can we have them with seventy
eight injured? Playlas by point?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Why do you assume McCaffrey's got a muscle? Poll by
November twenty fourth. I didn't say him.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm just saying the team, man, that's like a mass unit.
Although it doesn't matter they beat the Rams anyway. I
mean that they beat the.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Rams without all the end of the season, Tampa Bay
twice in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
That was pretty pretty daunting at at the moment. Yeah, Seattle,
I think it might be a little better, and people thought, yep,
Tampa Bay's real good as well. Nor coming Maybe I
believe we're going to get I believe we can get
to a point this year bone where we can play
with those top teams. Though remember last year we did
play with the two Super Bowl teams. Can we then
(11:41):
find a way to win those games? I personally don't
think Bryce is gonna keep turning over like this. I
know y'all are calling me a Bryce Homer. I see
the text that you are sending in. Complainer in chief says,
why can't Max spin the unc Belichick story like he
spins the Bryce story, because I see flashes from Bryce,
Like if you don't admit that that last two and
a half quarters might be the best prices played in
(12:03):
the Panther uniform, and those, like dreg Olsen said last hour,
those are some of the best throws in plays he
has made as a Panther, Like then you're just like,
but show me the good stuff with Bill Belichick, like literally,
other than he has an attractive girlfriend fifty years younger
than him. Show me what Bill has going on right now.
That's good.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I don't want to see what Bill has going on
right now, and I don't want to see flashes from
Bill either.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Good day, especially on the beaches of Nantucket. Give me
all the Brice slashes though, all those flashes I want.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Maybe this is a topic I guess for tomorrow. But
this Dallas game, when you think about what a win
could do to get them to five hundred, this this
could be if they did pull this off, this could
be one of the biggest Panther wins in a very
long time. Because of the vibes I think this will create.
It's Dallas. It means a lot to a lot of fans.
(12:51):
It's a signature type win for the Panthers. If they
can find a way to beat Dallas, the plane that
we could feel that they're on will change.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
We haven't been five hundred or above six games into
a season since the year we started three and oh
with Slinging Sammy four years ago, where they lost to
Dallas and they lost to Dad. We always lose to Dallas.
That's another thing too. It would just do wonders for
our mentality not to host those toothless, couthless bums that
(13:23):
are the Dallas Cowboy fans and see them leaving the
stadium like it would just feel. But we've lost eight
of ten games to these fools. It would feel so
good bone mentally to be walking out of the stadium
and all the Cowboy fans are miserable or they're leaving early.
That would do so much for us psychologically. God, it
(13:44):
really would, I.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Said when the show began, and I'll stand by a
Cowboy fans have been all fleaks, wild, quiet, except for
this guy named twin seven oh four oh.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He said, what are you saying, y'all won't be five hundred.
He thinks that you're on drugs. I've been told that before, sir,
but I'm not. I'm this way all natural. I don't know,
I just have it.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I haven't really got a lot of Cowboy interaction this week.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
You normally get no, it's not maybe tomorrow's the day,
Cowboy fans. I can't stand you, but show up tomorrow.
We should do.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Let's go at it tom You should play Who's smarter
than a Cowboy fan tomorrow. If anyone has an elementary
school kid, let us know. Cowboy fans at least make
a run at Fitty. I mean, he has left you.
He has left you, guys. Hot and freaking drink Man
wanted Fiddy to call the Dallas radio shows. We wanted
him to announce to them like they know him, that
he's no longer with them any.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, like it's a big deal, Like the hell, are
y'all gonna win this game? I'm now on the panther side.
What happened to that? Fitty? I thought you liked their
time so much. I'm a busy guy. I don't have time.
Some of my sitting on the phone and make phone calls.
You're watching the morning show all week. That's why I'm
in the Dog Russell, Seattle Sally. For goodness sake, that
is true. All you're doing is streaming the Morning Show. Man.
I'm mack. I I can't stop it when I get home,
(14:56):
like I have work to do. I need to work
on my podcast. It's like Breaking Bad. It's a good
show man. I mean, I don't know if I put
into Breaking Bad category, but it's a good show. There's
always something happening, and I just cannot wait to watch it.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Mag I had a lot too. I had a long
distance relationship for two years. God rest her soul. She's
no longer with us. But it's really hard mac to
find yourself in the doghouse when you don't see that
person every day. Somehow, someway, Fiddy finds himself in trouble
all the time, and she's three thousand miles away.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That's a valid pointo fit. How would you do in
a close up relationship in tight quarters? Man? Probably not good? Probably,
like you know Bill Belichick and coaching in college football,
Phitty's feels smothered from all the way across the country.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Fiddy's having trouble with a babe. We have no trouble
with our next guests, Babe Offenburg, Cowboys analyst for a
long time for NFL quarterback. He'll give us the insight
we need to know on Sunday's opponent. Babe's Next Sports
Radio ninety two seven WFZ.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ Mac and Bone with
you as we rock and roll here on a Thursday,
getting you ready football, getting going this weekend tonight. Whether
it's Eagles you mentioned that earlier, We mentioned all the
sports Eagles, Cowboys tonight. But we got ECU and Tulane
on the college football side, and of course we're all
(16:34):
about this Panthers Cowboys game. Could we get an actual
winning streak of two games? Can we actually put two together? Bone,
I think we've done it two times in like three
and a half seasons, or somebody to handle all that
type of excitement, that would be big. But we got
to go through the team. Bone. With the number one
offense in the NFL right now, the way Dak Prescott
(16:55):
is playing quarterback even without his stud wide receiver CD
Lamb is a bit scary. It's time now, Bone to
get some hit, some intel on what's what's making that
offense so good and what's going on with their defensive struggles.
Seems like they're playing a little bit better on defense.
Let's get a good scouting report on the Cowboys from
a guy that played quarterback for Dallas and four years,
(17:17):
I mean we're talking decades, has been the radio guy
in the booth as the analyst for the Cowboy Radio Network.
He is Babelfenberg and he joins us here on the
Mac and Bone Show. Babe, thanks for coming on with
us in Charlotte. How you doing.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I'm doing well. Thank you. And you talk about decades.
I when you said that, I realized, I guess I'll
be on my third decade next year. That'll be thirty
years if I make it. That's just I don't say
anthing bad, but I want to say quickly. So Bone,
my name is Babe. I've been Brandon is my real name,
but I've been Babe all my life, So boone, you know,
(17:51):
I always hate calling people nicknames if you don't know them.
It's like, you know, you meet a group of guys
and their buddy that known since college, you know, in
the fraternity he was snot based, right, so that's how
they call him a snot face or whatever. And so
I never felt comfortable saying, you know, I really I
don't know you well enough to call you snot based,
but can I call you bone?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I also like how your name is babe, but yeah,
you don't like calling people by their nickname? Very interesting,
by the way, why is your Why is your name babe?
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Where did where did that come from?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Well, you know what, I came from six kids and
long and short. I used to just always carry a
baseball bat, like a plastic bat or whatever, and I'd
just be whacking balls, I guess as a kid, you know,
since the time I could walk, I'd just be walking
balls around the house or wherever. Obviously, we didn't have
video games when I was born, so and so suddenly
(18:46):
it became babe, like babe ruth, and the name just stopped.
You know. It's funny how I don't think anybody ever
gives you a nickname, initially saying, okay, this will be
the name for the rest of your life. So I
named if you know, I'm sure do Darryl Johnston, Yeah,
the former Cowboys fullback and of course broadcasted the Fox
and we played together. I nicknamed them the Moose. Wow wow, Yeah,
(19:12):
And it was one of and very quickly. It was
one of those things. We had a bunch of five
nine running backs, right, and they came into the room
the one day. The running backs were in the other
room getting the run game, and of course now they're
coming down to the quarterbacks and receivers room to get
the pass game. So they walk them through the door
and I'm sitting next to Troy Bateman and they come
in and five nine five nine, five nine, here comes
(19:35):
Darryl right six two two five, And I said, I
said the Troy, I said, I said, Troy looked at
look at DJ. I said, the guy's a moose among
the deer.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, having no idea that from that point forward. And
I remember he said, I knew I was no longer
Darryl when there were moose calls going up in Philadelpia.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Oh that's beautiful, man. That is a great nickname. The
moose calls were legend on this one though. You're you're
nicknamed after Babe Ruth. I'm nicknamed after because it's short
for t bone. Name is Travis, So I'm named after
a George Castanza moment on Seinfeld. I think you won
this one man, Oh, that's.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Great, one of my favorites. I don't know if you
guys are music fans, but familiar with T Bone Burnett.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
He's in there.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, I've seen his name's familiar. When I googled famous
t Bones, he comes up a lot. Do you have
a T Bone club? You guys will hang out? I love, Hey, babe,
what this Cowboy offense? A little scary to it to
us as Panther fans, the way they've been playing and
the fact that they've been doing it with you know,
multiple o linemen out last week I think it was
four ceedee lamb out for a while. How have they
(20:41):
been playing so well offensively with all these guys out?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, my hat was off to Brian Schottenheimer,
Cowboy's new head coach last week because to your point,
they had four offensive linemen playing against the Jets that
did not start in Week one, and it wasn't a
situation where a guy had been hurt and he came
back in week two where he was a starter. They
(21:08):
had two sixth rounders, a seventh rounders, and two free
agents on that starting line and they did a very
good job. You know, obviously they scored thirty seven points
against the Jet last week. So and you're art your
number one receiver in CD LAMB. So the coaching job
they did was fantastic. I will tell you, Dak Prescott
is playing really, really well. I've always been a Dak
(21:30):
Prescott I don't like to use the word fan because
that applies I'm up there cheering him on. But I've
always been a believer in Dak. Sometimes they haven't been
good enough around him, sometimes they haven't been good enough
on defense. But Dak Prescott has played some really, really
good football through the years, and he's playing just great
(21:51):
right now. You'll see it. He's in control, he's confident,
he's decisive, and I always say, you know, you've got
to be in order to be decisive, you got to
be confident, right I mean, if you're not confident, you're
probably not going to be indecisive in anything you do
in life. And right now he's just you can just see.
(22:12):
He's in his tenth year. He's actually it's hard for
me tobly called every game he's ever played. He's the
longest tenured quarterback for any team in the NFL as
a starter. And you know, He's just he's a veteran
guy playing really good football. Doesn't run like he once
did because injuries through the years, but ran just enough
(22:36):
against the New York Jets last week to keep them honest,
and he'll probably do the same today. They don't have
designed runs for him, but if you want to turn
your back to the defense third and five, he'll go
get the first down.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Babe.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
How big has Javonte Williams, the former UNC tar heel
stand out, been at running back this year to help
back in that offense be who they are?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Yeah, he's been great. Eight. It's funny. I liked him
coming out of college. And I'll be the first to
tell you I am not a draft guru. I look
at the quarterbacks in the draft. I played quarterback myself,
so I kind of go in and look at those
guys pre draft. But I don't look at every player.
But I did see enough of Javonte Williams. My sister
(23:22):
in law went to UNC, my niece, her daughter went
to UNC, and so I kind of followed UNC football
a little bit more than most of the college teams
and really really liked him coming out. And obviously he
had a good rookie season, tore up as me in
year two in Denver. But he has been I mean
(23:42):
he's been I think more than they could have ever
hoped for. He's been. Well, you guys saw him. You
saw him at North Carolina, you know, and he's just
the same guy you saw there. He thought he'd be
in the pros. I don't get too much into the
whole Pro Football focus focus and next Gen stata, but
his yards after contact are right up at the top
(24:04):
of the list. Well, he's a he's a physical runner,
and he's doing he's just doing a heck of a job.
And what impressed me most, and this is the thing
you don't see when you're just watching a game on TV.
You know, his past protection is outstanding. So he's been
He's been good in every phase.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
We're talking with Babe Lothenberg of the Cowboy Radio Network
talking about this week's opponent, the Dallas Cowboys, America's team
coming in here. Babe. On the defensive side of the ball,
it certainly has been different last in the league in
yardage allowed. What's what's going on defensively? It does seem
like there's a little uptick maybe for them, But then again,
(24:43):
they did play the Jets last week's I don't know
if if that's the cause for the uptick. What kind
of defense are we getting this week in here in Charlotte,
in Dallas Cowboy uniforms.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
It's been a banged up defense really from the get go.
They were missing guys when the season started. Now, you know,
every team is in that boat, and then the season
starts and you miss more guys. But they just haven't
had that continuity or cohesiveness. They play more zone than
any team in the NFL, or at least through the
first five weeks. Now. Matt Eberflus their defensive coordinator, who
(25:18):
you can see what you will about the job he
did in Chicago as the head coach, but he is
a good defensive coordinator, well respected around the league. The
people I talked to around the league will tell you
pot you know, he's a good defensive coordinator. Now, the
numbers have been terrible, but again they're playing a lot
of his own because they just don't trust their corners
right now. You know, Trayvon Diggs coming off an injury,
(25:40):
dron Bland coming off an injury, and they just haven't
been the same guys and they've so many of the
corners hurt that again they just you know, and their
sacks are down. They had five last week against the Jets,
but they had five in the previous four games going
into that game, and you know, places, well, blitz, blitz.
(26:01):
And I said, well, if you blitz, you all those
corners that you know you don't like, you're putting them
in man coverage. So right now, you know, it's one
of those things where you just, hey, you guys are
NASCAR people there in North Carolina and they're just kind
of they're just kind of putting duct tape on the
car and getting it back on the track right now, defensively,
but then they will get better.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Now you're speaking our language, Yeah, now I understand just
making laps out there, man, I got it.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
You know, I tell you a very quick story. Now.
Leek Horso, who was my college coach, he always told
me when he was doing TV, he said, Babe, people
want stories, not stats. And to the NASCAR thing, right,
I never sat in a car that did over maybe
seventy miles an hour. I had a seventy four nova
in high school. We're hoping to just go up to
(26:49):
the top of the hill with it, you know. And
I did. When they opened up the track here, the
NASCAR track, Texas Motor Speedway, I went out and did
a thing. They invited a few. I hate the word celebrity,
but celebrity is kind of out to do these test
drive things. You're in there with a guy, you know,
the driving school type thing. And so anyway, I'm going
(27:11):
along on the track, and you know, they gave us
some instructions beforehand and on, and he said get it
up to the wall, you know, And I'm like, oh.
And then next, you know, next lap, he said, hey,
get it, bring it up to the wall. You know.
Oh I think. I'm like, he said, hey, come on, now,
get it up to the wall. And I said, I
am six inches from the wall. He said, you said,
you're six He's like, you're sixty feet from the wall.
(27:33):
But when you're doing a hundred, when you're doing one
hundred and fifty miles an hour or whatever it was,
you know, But so you get an appreciation, what for
what other people do when I'm sitting there telling them, look,
if I get any closer, I cannot put a gene
sterotory index card between me and that wall. He said, no, no, no,
you got ten feet.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You know, it's amazing what they do.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
You mentioned in passing there your college coach, the great
League cours Though, who goes on to fame as one
of the greatest television football personalities ever. But you've maintained
a friendship with Corso since you played with him. What's
it What was it like for you to know him
as a coach and then to see who who he
(28:15):
became in the television world.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Yeah, I mean it's been it's been pretty neat, if
I can use that word. I know it's a little
sophomore work, but it's been a neat relationship. And the
funny thing is, for anybody that's played out there, probably
at any level, including high school or whatnot, any sport,
you know, the guy that I had, the league Courso
that I had when I was playing, was not the
(28:39):
league course. So you see on TV. Really he looks
everybody well he was and he was, and everybody's kind
of like, God, he looks like he'd be so much
fun to play for. I said, Well, when he's coaching you,
I said, half the time he wanted to ring my
neck like any did coach with a quarterback right, And
I said the other half the time, I wanted to
ring his neck. And I said, now, I said, what
(29:02):
used to be we want to get our hands around
each other's next now we hugged. You know, it's a
whole different thing. You get older, and so it's been
a neat transformation. But you know, when hey, you're in college,
you're playing you know, I'm twenty one years old or whatever,
and you're just out there and you can go play
and you're having fun, and then you're going to drink
some beer after the game with the buddies. You don't realize, hey,
(29:26):
this guy, he's got a family. He may get fired
if we don't win this next game. You don't feel
that pressure of the coach. And I'm like, why, why
why is he so upset? Why is it? And ultimately
I will say he did get fired after my senior year,
and I always tell him, I said, coach, you're lucky
I wasn't a better player, because if I was, you'd
(29:46):
still be in coaching. You'd be making half the money.
I said. And people hate you. I said. Now, I said,
now you're in TV, and you guys know this, I said,
you're on TV. People love you. You made twice some
money and you work half the year. I said I
should be on I should be on commission. I should
(30:06):
have got a pick.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You should have got a cut, you should have got
a gout. What a lifestyle you set him up for.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Baby, Let's tight it very quickly. He is great. I
love coach course, so I think I know everybody does.
And he's been fantastic to me throughout the years, and
we just have a really good relationship. The one thing
I will tell you quickly about coach car so I
love you can't text him. He does not text, okay.
I mean he's literally ninety now, and so he calls you,
(30:35):
and he when he comes in. You know, if they
were doing the Texas OU game, which is coming up
this weekend, college game Day was here. He also came
in for the Doak Walker Awards every year, and we'd
always meet up and go have breakfast in this hotel
and whatever. Anyway, people always say, okay, babe, I'm coming in,
I'll be there. I'm going to see you Friday eight o'clock.
You know, he tell me about ten times he give
(30:58):
me the time again right now because he's forgotten. It's
just that coaching mentality. Okay, eight o'clock, eight o'clock, eight o'clock,
and he said, take down my number. And I said, no, coach,
you know it's got your number. And he said, we'll
take it down just in case. I don't think he
understood that it's in new contacts, you know. And let
me just say, Coach Corso has had the same number
(31:20):
since the cell phone was invented. So now there are
a few guys that, for various reasons, they say, yeah,
you know, I had to change that number. Here's my
new one, but but sorry to this day, he was, okay, babe,
take down my number. I said, okay, that's great.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I had one conversation with him as a guest booker
and he told me he would call me right back,
and that was in two thousand and five and he
has yet.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
He has yet to hit you back yet.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
So are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Hey, okay, I need I need to get the hotline number.
I'm gonna call him. I'm gonna say, coach, you stood
somebody up, because that's not like him. He's pretty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I mean, maybe he just forgot, like maybe he meant
to call me back, Like yeah, I assumed that he
didn't like me.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
That would be going back. That would be amazing if
after all these years, you hit coach up and what
were you doing? Coach to my man Boone in Charlotte.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
You know what happened? Hey, Boom, you know what happened?
What's that you didn't say, coach? Write my number down?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
That's it, that's it. He did run down? Did run down?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
If he thinks about that moment he told me not
so fast, my friend?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Basically, yeah, can I tell you?
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Okay, so they're not so fast? You already you know.
How's cute and he's got that little pencil and he's
got the twinkle and the smile and everybody, everybody cheers
when he says not so fast. Well, that used to be. Hey,
if you think we're going to go up in the
he'd be screaming, right, if you think we're going to
go up to Michigan, We're just gonna go up there
and put our chalks on the field and blah blah blah.
(32:52):
Not so effing fast, my friend?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Oh nice, Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Every time, every time my seat for my relationship again,
going back to how things change when I see the
not so fast, my friend. When he would do it
on TV, I'm like, Okay, that's not the way it was.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
There was another word in that not so fast, my friend.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
But it was not said.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I love that he used as a coach. I love that,
I babe. Hey, babe, pleasure to talk to you. Got
great stories. You're fun to talk to. We usually hate
on the Dallas cowboys down here. You might be the
most likable cowboys out there. Man, have fun. Get some

during the break bone? Didn't you have a nugget during
the break about Belichick? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (37:59):
He was working the phones last night, talking to recruits,
answering any questions they may have. So, yeah, do you
imagine the questions that they've met. My gosh, coach who
beat up? I phone's gotta be ringing off the hook. Yeah,
fights in the locker room? What's the coach?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Where'd you get that? Students weekly? Why is this coach suspended?

shorty with the boots? Are you are you trying to
work a buyout? Are they going to fire you?
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I can imagine that coach you want to boot you?
Why can he work the phones like Hugh Freeze at
old miss Man.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
By the way, what a phone call that would be?
Could you have the excite with a Bell Belichick calling

But you know that everything is fine around here, and
tell what the excitement. Don't mistake my monitoring voice for that.
I'm a defeated and beaten man here. Okay, I have

Bubba while you're working the phones? Yeah, I have a question.
(38:58):
What the hell are you doing?

Shire are going to be the top tier coaches, head
and shoulder above the rest in the ACC this year.
So now video fight with aj. Oh yeah, how about it.
We got a new rivalry here. Good luck on that.
Let's see Myron says, strong ass offer Will Wade. Yeah,
(39:24):
the strong ass offers are not legal, man. Another reason
why I think Will Wade can succeed at State.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Mac twin seven O four. A cowboy fan wants to
know if he's allowed to call the show tomorrow. Would
we take a phone call tomorrow as a as a
cowboy fan calling them?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
He seems kind of frisky. Yeah. Three, Let's say he
gets one minute at the end of the show. You
know what, we should have him debate with sirwoing tomorrow.
What we should do? Oh you want sir Lloin's pep
talk to be back and forth? Yeah, do your own
pep talk seven o four dueling pep talks. Maybe that's
what it is. Let's do it. Let's do dueling pep talks.
All right, ain't you ain't out pepin Sir Lloins thirty
five seventeen phone call tomorrow. No, we'll tell you that
(39:59):
right now. Hold on, don't spoil it. Oh my bad?
How dare I?
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Hew?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Dare I? Bill Wilmer duke fan finds the Bill Belichick
thing amusing says in order to in order to negotiate
a buy out, UNC will call up their highly successful
favorite law firm of cheat them and beat them. So
there you go. They got good lawyers. Man, Them lawyers
got work done, all right. Don't be hating Wilma, don't
be jelly the man city lawyers. Man, Man, I know
(40:26):
I know something about baby blue teams that have good lawyers.
All right, as a Manchester City fan, you got me
on that one. There's a Texter mad at me because
when talking to Babe, I called the Cowboys America's team.
I was just trying to be nice to him. It
makes me want to vomit. To sir, I'm sorry. I
was just trying to be nice to the guy. You
know what I mean, Bony, Yeah, that's all. That's all
(40:47):
that was happening there. Let's see what else is going on.
At what point will Mac give up on Bryce? That's
Buckeye Dave. I am reevaluate at the end of the season, sir.
I'm gonna evaluate at the end of the season. I
believe he deserves this full season. Let's get Cocher back,
Let's get Sanders and Cuba back. Let's see how this
season goes, and then we'll evaluate it then. Instead of
(41:08):
you guys after every fumble or turnover, and he's got
to cut down on him. But after fumble, every fumble
and turnover, you guys determine again he should be fired.
You know right, I just let's let this thing play
out this season. This texture says Mac was ready to
hit the dump button when Babe mentioned he doesn't get
into the next gen or the PFF stats. How dare you, sir?
(41:31):
By the way, speaking of PFF stats, the Panthers number
one in the league offensive line in impact run blocking percentage.
They're run blocking their hinees off. Mackie's stats is going
deep already. How about that? Take that, Stad, Babe Laffenberg.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
By the way, Cowboy Twin is in for the pep
talk tomorrow, though he did say, uh, sir Woyd is
a crazy man.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Though, Oh, sir, Lloin's bringing it right after you. You
ain't out peppin to loiny, baby, You ain't doing that.
Let's see what else we have going on. In the
text line, this texter says, I wonder how many accidents
start being eighty five on the way back to Gastonia
if the Panthers beat the Cowboys on Sunday, A lot
of it angry, A lot of angry cowboy.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
For you do have that theory that a lot of
the local Cowboys fans think that the Dallas Day roof
for is.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
In North Carolina. They were looking for the stadium boat
Lands two weeks ago, and they're like where's the stadium?
Oh man, we have a texture that suggests that Duke
buy the rights to the footage from the now canceled
unc Hulu documentary and show it to football recruits. This
is gonna get out one day, right, It's gonna have
(42:32):
to do. I need it, I need it. I need
the damn footage. I need Bill's last dance. I need
Jordan Bill pillowtalk. I need to know what possibly happens
when those two are hanging out. All right, we gotta
get out of here. We gotta get out of here tonight.
I'm looking forward to watching watching the Hornets in the preseason. ECU,
(42:52):
get it done tonight, Kanes, get the season started, all right,
Bony pucks, McLean pucks. McLain could lock in for a
good six minute stretching his game. Potentially, We're out of here.
We'll talk to you all tomorrow on a Football Friday.
Colin Huger coming up next.
