Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Bone, let's do it.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
We want to do some weekend conclusions, whatever you want
to bring up here. Also want to bring up kind
of some of the stuff Bone that like, we've talked
about the fact that the Panthers are back into a
first place tie by virtue of the Bucks going oh
for five on fourth downs yesterday and losing to the Saints.
But we're I'm going to work in some of the

(00:21):
stuff we kind of left out of much of the
show today as well. What do you got Go ahead
and start us off.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Mac.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
A lot of times on Monday, Terry Bradshaw will say
something that completely stuns America. And that happened yet again
when he said yesterday on Fox NFL Sunday that he's
never met Mike Tomlin before Mike Tomlin, the Steelers head
coach at two thousand and seven, Terry Bradshaw, the Steelers legend,

(00:48):
says he's never met Mike Tomlin. How is that possible? Now,
we know that Bradshaw surprised. He's working a lot of Sundays.
All right, we get that, But somewhere, Mac, they have
not crossed paths in eighteen years. I know Bradshaw's been
critical of Tomlin, But there's not been some reunion some
something that where Bradshaw's met him once.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, how is that possible? That was kind of surprising.
Bradshaw doesn't exactly do warm and fuzzy for the Steeler
guys a lot. Remember how the big Ben relationship was
kind of testing. So I don't know if that's part
of it or whatever. But does he not go back then?
I have alumni events and he's back at or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Does he go to these and making a point not
to talk to Mike Tomlin? Does he just not go
to Pittsburgh that much? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
This would be like Fitty Marlowe not meeting Jim SLANEO
on the way.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
This can't happen, right, you met Jim, Right, I've actually
never met Jim in person.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Two legends, two other legends, drop you off at his
front door. Then here soon I know this, Mike Tomlins
went over the Ravens will keep him from meeting the
guy at the unemployment office. That was and Aaron Rodgers
had not completed bone in the whole month of November,
a pass that travel twenty yards or more through the air,
and he seeded to light up the Ravens defense repeatedly downfield.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
God, that was woo.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
That Ravens defense looked like the September Ravens defense again.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
The last pass he completed, of note, was when he
hit on his fake wife.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
All right, let me move along here. Bone to more conclusions.
I had a thought while watching the Hornets this weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Bone.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
While watching the Hornets outscore the Toronto Raptors by nineteen
points Bone in the last one and a half quarters
of the game on Friday, after losing LaMelo Ball, I thought, Man,
this team's playing well without Lamello and they don't even
have the backup point guard, and Sexton not so much yesterday.
You kind of felt like yesterday bone Con and Miller
had to initiate a lot of the offense and you

(02:41):
were kind of missing your initiators. But I had a
thought Bone that I don't think I've ever vocalized, and
we haven't really discussed.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Maybe you have.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
As I'm sitting there thinking about Lamello's future as he
has yet another ankle injury.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
This one's a bone bruise.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I was thinking sitting there, thinking, would this current brass,
this current regime LaMelo Ball and I think the answer
is no. When you look at the type of players
that play hard as hell, I wonder bone if and
I think the answer is no. I don't think this

(03:16):
brass would draft LaMelo ball and I am thinking about
that in context of will they decide to try to
trade him? Does he really foint that Hornet's DNA that
they talk about. Yeah, that's a very good point. Yeah,
there was a who was the player yesterday? It all

(03:36):
runs together in my head from last night. Actually, someone
was calling Miles Bridges the leader of the team. They
were they were vocalizing in the post game that Miles
Bridges is Now I'm trying to remember who it was
that Miles Bridges is their leader. Which at this point, Mac,
you would think that, yes, Wamelo is still young in
terms of age, but you would think that he would

(03:58):
also at least be on a leadership trajectory by this point.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
He's just simply I don't think he's that kind of
He also doesn't. I think he's just out there balling
fam and he doesn't play enough right. But that's another
thing too. Miles Bridge hard, the bridge is there every night.
Hard to lead when you're when you're wearing your hoodie,
in your in your street clothes over there and your.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
He also isn't naturally that sort of guy either. He said, Hey,
let's ball fam j Simpson. Whereas Miles Bridge is there
every damn night, and Miles Bridges has voice displeasure over
the losing, LaMelo Ball is not once voice displeasure over
the losing. So that's just a thought. Is they like
when we think about are they going to decide to
build around Tim Bony?

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Just think about that this regime, how do they feel.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
About LaMelo Ball and his kind of just chill you know,
callie chill hoops vibe, you know what I mean? Mac,
may I give a sycamore shout out to an acc
football coach that was fired recently that landed on his feet.
That goes to former Virginia Tech head coach Brent Prye Mac.
Brent Prye has found a job in Blacksburg, Virginia as

(05:01):
the defensive coordinator under James Franklin. Wait what, yes, Brent
Prye Mack, the former head coach at twenty twenty two,
will now take over the defense under James Franklin. Does
he have to go through the new employment initiation stuff,
the question to submit paperwork or is that already.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Done for it?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Imagine him walking back in there and saying hi to
all the old coworkers. I that's an odd situation. But
if you know about the relationship between James Franklin and
Brent Priye, it's not very surprising, right because James p
or Brent Prye vouched for James Franklin with people in Blacksburg.
James Franklin and Brent pry think the world of each other.

(05:41):
Brent Priye was a very successful defense coordinator on James
Franklin at Penn State. That's how he got the job.
Matter of fact, they were together in Vandy before that.
So if you just understand relationships, bone, Yeah, it's kind
of it's kind of funny. It's kind of unconventional the
way that worked out. But you get the feeling. If
James Franklin asked Brent Prie was not gonna say, I know.
You know, it's one of those deals everybody has. Those

(06:02):
people in life were like, hey, man, that's my mentor
if he asked me, I'm here for him, even though
he's got to walk back into the place that just
fired him.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
This is gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Back when they finally asked me to leave and they
bringing your new producer and then I walk back in
the building.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
It's gonna happen here. Is that how it's going on?

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, yeah, they can't let me get too far away,
and that Fitty would be the one that you know, ok,
you got this all play well, he's signing back there
like it's a real scenario before Fitty makes his announcement
that he concluded this weekend bone as it pertains to
another coworker, w fn Z, allow me to do what

(06:40):
we said we were going to do here, run down
the local teams and their bowl games.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
It seems like in the middle of the night, app
State got added to the Birmingham Bowl and they are
playing Georgia Southern. They renewed the old the old rivalry there,
which is kind of fun. But that happened literally in
the middle of the night as the Birmingham bull search
for teams that wanted to play.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
In the game.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, because Florida State said no, Auburn said no, Kansas
State and Iowa State and they are who could go
to bowls. Actually, they didn't want to go to Bowl Games,
the five and seven. It goes by academics in the list.
So the teams that were head of APP Auburn, Florida State,
they all said no. So APP State said why not?

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Man? I like it. I like it. Get that rivalry
going again.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Friday, December nineteenth, Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa, NC State Memphis.
Then you have Saturday, December twenty seventh, ECU and Pitt
in the Military Bowl. You have a bowl I like
to call the freudy fraud flopping underachiever ball Bone between Clemson.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
And Penn State. That's my national title there you go.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
We thought we were going to be in the National
Title Ball, but we were ass Bowl. That's what that is.
Saturday December twenty seventh bowl. No, it's the we thought
we were in. Then we thought we were going to
be in the National Title game, but instead we're Ass Bowl. Okay, yes, yeah,
that's the thing. Yeah, that's what it is. They work
with me here, Bone. I'm mocking these two underachieving teams
that I do actually like, but have to be mocked.

(08:09):
A Coastal and Louisiana Tech Independence Bowl on December thirtieth,
Duke Arizona State in the Sun Bowl, a duke will
win by seventy bone to prove a point that they
were good enough to win the national title but never
got a chance.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
That is on New Year's Eve. Thank you for that.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'm sorry, Bone, I'm sorry. It's funny, it's hilarious. No,
your jokes are funny.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Obviously, Wig Forests Mississippi State Mayo Bowl right here in Charlotte, Friday,
January second, at seven thirty. And then I have one here, Bone,
I don't have an opponent though, Notre Dame's Bowl. Where's
who's their opponent? They're playing in the Pampers Bowl. Because
he acted like a bunch of babies yesterday.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
You forgot the ned turn the Pamper's Bowl. You forgot
the Nedtucket Bowl. That is where Belichick and Jordan will
be December twentieth for a fundraising event in Needtuncket. That's
the that's their holiday swarming, literally be at Nantucket Ball.
It's a bowling lane, bowling alley in Nantucket is where
they're going to be hanging out at.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
That's a that's a funny joke. More those What about
the Pamper's Bowl for Notre Dame. No, that's not really
is that really a ball game?

Speaker 1 (09:15):
You mentioned? Uh? Two bowl games this weekend.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
It is the the Celebration Bowl is going on, the
HBCU game. South Carolina State is involved in that game
that is on ABC. That's a good ABC at nude
and the one I was talking about as well. Boise
State plays Washington State in the Bucked Up LA Bowl.
There you go Saturday night. That's South Carolina State praier

(09:40):
View by the way, twelve nude. But the Bucked Up
LA Bowl is Saturday night already, Mac, What in the
hell is the bucked Up Bowl?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
What the hell's bucked up? I don't give it out.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
As I saw that Bailey would say d one of
his ad reads, I'm gonna get bucked up everybody.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Uh, Fitty, make your announcement.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Bone Fitty has done some thinking of it over the
weekend and he has a conclusion himself. Make your announcement, Fitty.
It's gonna get emotional. It's a creatine workout supplement, that's
what it kind of sounds like, shocking. I wouldn't know
anything about that. Anything involves you bucking up, I am
not gonna know about all right, Fitty, make your announcement
here real quick, what you got?

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Yeah, this show hasn't bucked in a while. I came
to the conclusion over the weekend and I have reached
out and texted said person. I have resigned from my
friendship with William Eugene Pologic. I, you know, made a
comment last week on the air that I did own
up to was had gone too far. I have sent

(10:38):
multiple text messages trying to breach the discontent between us
and got no avail back. Multiple text about the Jets
and they're in their ugly uniform, so on and so forth.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Just trying to branch, just trying to reach out and
make conversation.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, and I texted him before I announced on the air,
and he said, you did that when you said what
you said on the And then he said my apology
was half hearted and that said nothing to him personally,
So that.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Might be a problem.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Actually, I'm me owning up immediately in the group text
was not good enough.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, so you might be hearing from him. Now.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's our guest for the nine o'clock out.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I thought I thought Pete was hitting that hotlight. Hey
buck out
