WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Hour 1: Hornets Fall in Phoenix & Commanders Win on TNF 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:04.040 Bueno, como esta? 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:06.940 Oh, oh, oh, here's Mike and Bo. 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:12.500 You guys are the most entertaining sports program in the world. 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:13.960 Drop it, Bo. Drop it, baby. 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.760 No, no, stop twerking. You and I are a couple eating, like, 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.380 Lady and the Tramp. You're the lady on the tramp. 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:23.460 Yeah, come on. Come on, baby. I wish I was Boopy. 0:00:23.620 --> 0:00:27.390 Boopy McClain, man. That's a great name. All aboard. 0:00:30.460 --> 0:00:33.040 We'll be right back. 0:00:42.650 --> 0:00:45.159 Good Friday morning, Charlotte. Welcome aboard. 0:00:45.170 --> 0:00:48.160 It's football Friday time with a little bit of why 0:00:48.180 --> 0:00:51.120 did the Hornets lose in Phoenix thrown in. A little 0:00:51.140 --> 0:00:53.519 bit of could Nas Reed really be traded away from 0:00:53.540 --> 0:00:56.450 the Hornets thrown in as well. But for the most part, 0:00:56.550 --> 0:01:00.510 a football Friday on the Mac and Bone show. First 0:01:00.570 --> 0:01:02.730 place is on the line. You got to get your 0:01:02.770 --> 0:01:05.430 minds right, Panther Nation. I'm not sure you got your 0:01:05.450 --> 0:01:08.630 minds right. I understand it's two, three, and five teams playing, 0:01:08.650 --> 0:01:13.200 but it's a first-place divisional battle in New Orleans on Sunday. 0:01:13.580 --> 0:01:16.240 We will talk about it. We'll talk about the injury report. 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.400 It is pretty damn good. Two players to worry about, 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.720 it seems like. But other than that, it seems like 0:01:22.740 --> 0:01:25.600 we're getting some some dudes back big time. We'll talk 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.399 about that here on the Mac and Bone show. We'll 0:01:28.420 --> 0:01:30.459 talk about the college football slate. You know, we got 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.170 the couch potato guide coming up this hour and we've 0:01:34.190 --> 0:01:36.130 got a lot of fun coming up for you here 0:01:36.150 --> 0:01:40.350 on the Mac and Bone show. Also have to talk 0:01:40.410 --> 0:01:43.839 about what I what I believe. It's the greatest Jameis 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.640 moment ever, and there are tons of them. But I believe, 0:01:46.900 --> 0:01:49.130 I don't even care that the Giants blew that game 0:01:49.170 --> 0:01:52.090 last night and Washington wanted to tighten up the East 0:01:52.130 --> 0:01:57.540 a little bit. Jameis Winston had an amazing moment. All right, 0:01:57.580 --> 0:02:00.000 Fit Dog in the house. The Bone Man is in 0:02:00.030 --> 0:02:00.370 the house. 0:02:00.410 --> 0:02:01.630 What's up, Bone? What's happening? 0:02:01.670 --> 0:02:04.650 Yeah, Jameis asked an age-old question at the line of scrimmage. 0:02:04.730 --> 0:02:08.070 I can't wait to delve into maybe Jameis has the answers. 0:02:08.150 --> 0:02:10.650 We do not know. Matt, real quick, want to say 0:02:10.669 --> 0:02:13.190 good morning to you. Fitty just walked out. He's in 0:02:13.210 --> 0:02:16.030 a little bit of a... But he's on edge today. 0:02:16.290 --> 0:02:18.780 He's a little stressed. He's in rage mode. He's punching 0:02:18.820 --> 0:02:20.660 computers down there. And I had to bring the news 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.500 to him this morning, not because I want to, because 0:02:23.540 --> 0:02:25.600 I'm a friend and he's not in here right now. 0:02:25.620 --> 0:02:28.500 So we can do this now. A listener, an older gentleman, 0:02:29.100 --> 0:02:31.640 DMed me yesterday that he loves the show. That's not 0:02:31.900 --> 0:02:35.680 crazy news. But he said in the DM, even Lumpy 0:02:36.100 --> 0:02:36.709 has grown on him. 0:02:36.860 --> 0:02:39.160 Lumpy! And I had to say, who? 0:02:39.700 --> 0:02:44.680 He said the board operator guy thought his name was Lumpy. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.220 Granny Pat thought his name was Fatty Merlot one time. 0:02:48.700 --> 0:02:50.700 Now this guy thinks his name is Lumpy. He was 0:02:50.780 --> 0:02:53.280 not very happy he got called Lumpy. Now be honest 0:02:53.300 --> 0:02:57.580 with me. You knew exactly who? the person was talking about. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.870 But I needed it clarified so I'm not lying about it. 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.220 There was no mystery to it. I needed him to 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.080 say who it was so then I could report back 0:03:06.250 --> 0:03:07.430 because he could have called me a lumpy. 0:03:07.669 --> 0:03:09.910 I don't know. But for some reason, I told Finney 0:03:10.370 --> 0:03:11.079 and he didn't love it. 0:03:11.310 --> 0:03:12.450 I'm just going to say, Bone, if you tell that 0:03:12.470 --> 0:03:21.239 story 99.9% of the audience knows who mistakenly got called Lumpy. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.060 No offense. 0:03:22.260 --> 0:03:24.919 I'm getting a little more lumpy than I had recently 0:03:24.940 --> 0:03:27.760 as well. He rejected the name Lumpy for some offensive reason, 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:28.100 he said. 0:03:28.139 --> 0:03:30.329 Now he's, I don't know. You've already told him about it? 0:03:30.419 --> 0:03:31.220 He already knows? 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:31.580 Oh, yeah. 0:03:31.620 --> 0:03:34.060 Well, he was on Edge, Mac, and I did your move. 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:35.880 I tried to put him over the edge. Okay, isn't 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:36.460 that nice? 0:03:36.500 --> 0:03:36.820 Yeah. 0:03:37.220 --> 0:03:38.780 When someone's on Edge. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.860 Around here, we have a thing where... They're already going over. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.220 We might as well give them a little push. 0:03:43.340 --> 0:03:44.340 We wouldn't be dudes. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.760 If you don't try to push your bros over the 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.870 edge when they're vulnerable, we would not be dudes, wouldn't we? 0:03:49.930 --> 0:03:50.470 I mean, come on. 0:03:50.690 --> 0:03:55.470 That's half the fun. Oh, man. Hornets last night, Bone Man. 0:03:56.460 --> 0:03:58.820 Entertaining game. I thought the first half they might get 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.480 run out of Phoenix, run out of the desert at 0:04:01.580 --> 0:04:03.140 one point in the first half of this game. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.020 Yeah, that Gillespie was going nuts there for a while. 0:04:05.060 --> 0:04:06.900 I feel like we saw that movie last year. 0:04:07.380 --> 0:04:07.700 We did. 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.250 The Gillespie goes nuts game. Yeah, the thing that's the 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.100 most annoying about this, like if you look at the 0:04:13.150 --> 0:04:15.430 box score, there's a couple things that annoy me about 0:04:15.470 --> 0:04:19.330 this game. One thing in particular, yes. You look at 0:04:19.370 --> 0:04:22.670 the box score and it's going to look like Devin 0:04:22.710 --> 0:04:25.909 Booker killed us and he had 30 points. He hit 0:04:25.970 --> 0:04:31.150 an amazing deep step back three last night. Bone over 0:04:31.170 --> 0:04:34.490 Nas Reed. That was like dagger. Took it from a 0:04:34.510 --> 0:04:38.690 three point game to a six point game. But look 0:04:38.710 --> 0:04:41.900 at this. When Devin Booker was out of the game, 0:04:42.940 --> 0:04:46.460 the Suns outscored us by 14. When Devin Booker was 0:04:46.500 --> 0:04:49.520 in the game, we outscored the Suns by nine. It was, 0:04:49.580 --> 0:04:53.280 and Gillespie's a big reason why. It was Gillespie, Kennard, 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:58.240 and that bench unit that that outscored a lot of 0:04:58.300 --> 0:05:03.670 our bench guys, Bone. You cannot lose the non-Devin Booker minutes. 0:05:03.850 --> 0:05:06.850 And each stint, start of the second quarter, start of 0:05:06.870 --> 0:05:09.170 the fourth quarter, we lost them decisively. 0:05:09.730 --> 0:05:12.289 Yeah, they're not exactly, Mac, plush with a bunch of 0:05:12.350 --> 0:05:15.669 talent outside of Devin Booker. You can't lose those minutes. 0:05:15.890 --> 0:05:18.970 They struggle outside of him in a lot of areas. 0:05:19.010 --> 0:05:24.470 Here's the box score problem, Mac, and how this became... 0:05:24.850 --> 0:05:28.940 A five-point loss last night. The Hornets out-rebounded Phoenix by 21. 0:05:28.940 --> 0:05:33.550 So that checked Mark Hornets. They outshot them from the 0:05:33.589 --> 0:05:37.839 three-point line. They out-assisted the Suns. More fast break points, 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.580 more points in the paint. The problem is this. They 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:47.410 had a cartoonish number of turnovers. 27 turnovers, again, to 0:05:47.589 --> 0:05:52.810 eight from Phoenix. They conceded 38 points off those 27 turnovers. 0:05:53.330 --> 0:05:56.330 They were better than Phoenix in a lot of categories. 0:05:56.710 --> 0:06:00.180 You cannot turn the ball over 19 times more than 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.940 the opponent for 27. 0:06:01.940 --> 0:06:03.779 And it wasn't one guy. No, it's an embarrassment. 0:06:03.980 --> 0:06:04.240 All fours. 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.700 All five starters. I don't think I've seen this before. 0:06:07.140 --> 0:06:10.320 All five starters had four turnovers or more in the game. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.550 It's a team effort. It's all the guys. It's contagious. 0:06:13.650 --> 0:06:16.150 Everybody's doing it. Everybody can't take care of the ball. 0:06:16.350 --> 0:06:17.950 It's not like one guy went out there and was 0:06:17.970 --> 0:06:19.990 throwing the ball around, had nine turnovers. It's like, geez, 0:06:20.010 --> 0:06:23.070 he played out of control. Everybody was 27. It's a 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.580 ludicrous number. And that's not the first time, Mac, I 0:06:25.620 --> 0:06:27.940 believe they've hit that number this year. I think there's 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:28.320 another game. 0:06:28.339 --> 0:06:31.540 The sad thing is, it's not really that surprising. No, 0:06:31.580 --> 0:06:33.500 they had nine of them in the fourth quarter to 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.200 like when you needed the ball. 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:36.730 They had nine turnovers. 0:06:36.810 --> 0:06:40.310 Nas had a couple of sloppy ones down the stretch 0:06:40.750 --> 0:06:44.219 of this game. That was a big part of it. 0:06:44.589 --> 0:06:47.750 No doubt about it. And something else that bothers me. 0:06:48.390 --> 0:06:51.000 Kobe White clearly has a minutes restriction that is set 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.900 at 20. I don't know if if Charles Lee has 0:06:53.940 --> 0:06:56.240 told us that, but it's pretty simple to figure out. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.650 His minutes restriction is set at 20. Bone, Kobe White 0:07:01.690 --> 0:07:04.869 played the best game of the season. He had bursts 0:07:04.910 --> 0:07:08.190 going to the basket. He looked like his old self 0:07:08.589 --> 0:07:11.230 for the first time all season since coming back from 0:07:11.270 --> 0:07:14.280 the injury. He left the game and he was playing 0:07:14.500 --> 0:07:18.500 really freaking well. He had 21 in 20 minutes. He 0:07:18.580 --> 0:07:22.120 leaves the game at the 904 mark, does not come 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:22.600 back in. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:22.980 I know. 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.580 And we have Seon James playing point guard down the 0:07:25.620 --> 0:07:29.620 stretch of this game. Like, I'm sorry. I respect the 0:07:29.630 --> 0:07:32.460 minutes restraint. I respect you. But this was a problem 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.080 I had bone initially with their lamello restriction where he would. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.000 Not be in the game at the end. 0:07:37.540 --> 0:07:41.250 How can you not manage the game to where you 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.370 have Kobe white at the end of the game? They 0:07:44.410 --> 0:07:47.150 went the whole last nine minutes and four seconds without 0:07:47.190 --> 0:07:50.670 him because he's at his minutes restriction. And the other 0:07:50.690 --> 0:07:53.550 thing too, is how about this? For the sake of 0:07:53.590 --> 0:07:55.910 winning a close game on the road, how about you 0:07:55.950 --> 0:07:57.530 break your rule and he comes in for the last 0:07:57.570 --> 0:08:01.520 three minutes? 100%. That annoyed the living crap out of me. 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.680 If he's playing well, he's feeling all right. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.580 I understand Mack not exceeding some crazy number of 30-plus, 35. 0:08:08.580 --> 0:08:11.440 Yeah, I get that. But is there a huge difference? 0:08:11.500 --> 0:08:13.970 Is his body going to fall apart, Mack, if Kobe 0:08:14.010 --> 0:08:18.710 White plays 25 minutes? If he plays an extra rotation through, 0:08:18.730 --> 0:08:21.590 or you manage it better, whatever. 0:08:21.690 --> 0:08:24.030 I just asked for three. How did you not want 0:08:24.110 --> 0:08:25.170 to put... I was dying. 0:08:25.190 --> 0:08:27.210 The point is, is his body going to just all 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.680 of a sudden crumble because you played him five more 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.000 minutes in a game where he's playing well? 0:08:31.180 --> 0:08:32.319 You are ready, Charles Lee. 0:08:33.110 --> 0:08:36.650 Basically conceded a game this year on the road against 0:08:36.690 --> 0:08:38.170 Detroit that you were winning. 0:08:38.309 --> 0:08:40.760 Which I respect. That's coaching. I respect that 100%. 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:40.859 I do. 0:08:40.860 --> 0:08:42.260 I don't give a crap about that. 0:08:42.300 --> 0:08:44.740 But that is a loss that you basically said, it's 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.980 a long season, we can get that back. When you 0:08:47.020 --> 0:08:49.900 do something like last night, there's only so many of 0:08:49.940 --> 0:08:55.060 these road wins, Mac, that you can really concede like that. 0:08:55.100 --> 0:08:58.410 I'm not saying that necessarily Kobe wins the game, but 0:08:58.450 --> 0:09:01.410 when you don't play him an extra couple minutes... it's 0:09:01.429 --> 0:09:03.150 going to lead to a loss like last night. 0:09:03.450 --> 0:09:06.569 I mean, the way he was playing too, I could 0:09:06.630 --> 0:09:08.510 even see it if he was playing the way he 0:09:08.550 --> 0:09:09.339 had in some of these. 0:09:09.260 --> 0:09:12.260 Earlier games, he will take himself, but he. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.520 Started the fourth quarter attack in the basket, just like 0:09:14.540 --> 0:09:17.160 he had done for the three previous quarters. So like, 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.670 to me, I didn't ask you for my, I watched 0:09:19.710 --> 0:09:23.650 that entire final nine minutes watching the court and watching 0:09:23.690 --> 0:09:25.929 the bench. Please tell me they're sending him in. No, 0:09:25.950 --> 0:09:28.190 he's still standing over there. Please tell me they're sending 0:09:28.230 --> 0:09:28.470 him in. 0:09:28.750 --> 0:09:28.929 Nope. 0:09:28.950 --> 0:09:31.670 They're not EC at one point even says, and I'm 0:09:31.710 --> 0:09:33.890 sure Dell, uh, Kobe's going to come back in this game. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:35.100 Are you? 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.960 Cause I wasn't, cause I've seen this movie before where 0:09:37.980 --> 0:09:41.780 they stick so rigidly to the damn minutes restriction. 0:09:42.220 --> 0:09:44.020 And I guess they're so scarred by injury. 0:09:44.059 --> 0:09:46.679 They're terrified, but then you've got to, if you have 0:09:46.700 --> 0:09:49.760 to stick to 20, I'm sorry, you have to find 0:09:49.820 --> 0:09:52.530 a way to manage the minutes to where he can 0:09:52.530 --> 0:09:53.490 play at the end. 0:09:53.490 --> 0:09:54.050 Yeah, why? 0:09:54.050 --> 0:09:56.700 I never understand when Chuck does this. 0:09:56.700 --> 0:09:58.310 Never understand it, man. 0:09:58.309 --> 0:10:01.270 Especially in the NBA back when how many games come 0:10:01.309 --> 0:10:03.790 down to the end of the game. You can get 0:10:03.820 --> 0:10:05.940 down 20 in the first quarter and you're in the 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.099 game by the end. It's just how the NBA operates. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.179 Every game seems to at least have some fourth quarter 0:10:13.220 --> 0:10:16.339 drama to it. Yeah, you need him down the stretch, man. 0:10:16.380 --> 0:10:20.130 Maybe not in the first quarter. Canapolis man, Max, sent 0:10:20.170 --> 0:10:24.240 in a very confusing text. The NBA PA would lose 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.110 their mind if they go one second over that minutes restriction. 0:10:28.130 --> 0:10:29.670 I don't think this is an NBA PA deal. No, 0:10:29.730 --> 0:10:31.390 it's a Hornets thing. I don't think they signed a 0:10:31.429 --> 0:10:33.860 contract that said, I'm only playing 20 minutes while I'm 0:10:33.890 --> 0:10:34.880 rehabbing my hamstring. 0:10:34.980 --> 0:10:35.280 No, no. 0:10:35.300 --> 0:10:36.340 This is a coaching decision. 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.660 I don't think the NBA PA is going to say, 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.819 we're suing you, Charles Lee, for playing Kobe White 22 minutes. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.510 And listen, I'm sure it's our medical staff that is saying– 0:10:46.429 --> 0:10:48.550 I'd only play him 20. You don't want to get 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.740 that calf injury again, right? 0:10:50.820 --> 0:10:51.280 I get it. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.700 But this felt like, again, you either need to play 0:10:54.740 --> 0:10:56.140 the 20 but be able to have him in at 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.650 the end, or you need. 0:10:58.530 --> 0:11:00.150 To break your rule for the final three minutes. 0:11:00.610 --> 0:11:00.830 Yes. 0:11:00.890 --> 0:11:01.830 That's all I'm asking for. 0:11:02.190 --> 0:11:04.730 But if you weren't watching that game as a Hornets fan, 0:11:05.150 --> 0:11:07.180 like thinking, please, are you going to put Kobe back in? 0:11:08.260 --> 0:11:11.400 I'd be shocked if most of our fellow fans weren't 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:12.520 watching it the same way. 0:11:12.580 --> 0:11:14.000 In a game where you. 0:11:13.900 --> 0:11:17.200 Can get a little bit of momentum, you just beat Cleveland, 0:11:17.620 --> 0:11:20.450 get a road win against Phoenix, who's not good. Then 0:11:20.470 --> 0:11:23.670 you have the Clippers on Sunday. I don't know, maybe 0:11:23.770 --> 0:11:26.410 mess around Mac and go win three games in a row. 0:11:26.710 --> 0:11:29.750 But now Cleveland looks like the outlier and just a 0:11:29.770 --> 0:11:32.310 bunch of losses. Now you lose to Phoenix. Now we 0:11:32.350 --> 0:11:34.430 have the Clippers. So it's just, I don't know. It's, 0:11:35.030 --> 0:11:37.930 It's frustrating, man. It's a frustrating start to the season 0:11:37.990 --> 0:11:38.969 on all things here. 0:11:39.150 --> 0:11:43.589 What did you— yeah, it's missed shots, turnovers, and injuries. 0:11:45.210 --> 0:11:47.480 That's the story of our season. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.220 30% from three last night. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.560 Or no, I'm sorry. We actually hit some threes. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:53.840 36% from three. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:12:00.260 27 turnovers and an injury restriction. What did you think 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.870 of the Miles? Miles Bridges, 11.6 rebounds, three assists. It 0:12:04.890 --> 0:12:08.750 wasn't like he missed all his threes, which he did 0:12:08.790 --> 0:12:12.609 here many times. Was anything going on in your mind 0:12:12.630 --> 0:12:13.530 with the Miles Bridges? 0:12:14.630 --> 0:12:18.510 Reunion game bone? No, not really. I didn't really have 0:12:18.630 --> 0:12:20.710 much emotions. I haven't really even really. 0:12:20.730 --> 0:12:23.130 I mean, I've seen what he's doing from time to time, 0:12:23.170 --> 0:12:27.240 but I haven't really thought about Miles Bridges all that much. 0:12:27.460 --> 0:12:31.740 We talked to the Locked On Suns guy about Miles 0:12:31.780 --> 0:12:34.930 Bridges last night on the pregame show, and... Their thoughts 0:12:35.290 --> 0:12:37.790 of how he's done so far, how he's fit in there. 0:12:38.390 --> 0:12:42.910 He said that two things here. One, that despite the 0:12:42.990 --> 0:12:46.820 Howard Beck report about Devin Booker, there's no truth whatsoever. 0:12:46.860 --> 0:12:49.180 Devin Booker is going to be a son till the 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.000 end of time because they want him and he doesn't 0:12:51.020 --> 0:12:52.930 want to leave there. That's the weirdest part of it. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.880 So that's one part of it. That second part is 0:12:54.900 --> 0:12:56.300 the weird part. That's one part of it. And he 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.620 also said that they view Miles Bridges as part of 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.290 the core of the team going forward. Because the Michigan 0:13:03.309 --> 0:13:06.870 State owner, he's got ties to Bridges, they view him, Mac, 0:13:06.950 --> 0:13:10.250 as an essential piece to the puzzle. However, he said... 0:13:10.940 --> 0:13:14.800 He has played horrific. This is the lockdown guy. Miles Bridges, 0:13:14.820 --> 0:13:16.900 I don't know if he did this here, has played 0:13:17.380 --> 0:13:20.740 horrifically bad defense at the Phoenix Sun. This guy could 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.660 not believe how horrible of a defender Miles Bridges was. 0:13:24.100 --> 0:13:27.490 So that was the Phoenix angle of him heading into 0:13:27.500 --> 0:13:30.230 the game last night. He's part of the core, but 0:13:30.270 --> 0:13:32.350 he's playing zero defense. 0:13:33.050 --> 0:13:36.110 Uh in phoenix imagine uh and he's shooting 32 from 0:13:36.170 --> 0:13:39.329 three yeah it's it's yeah i just again we won 0:13:39.370 --> 0:13:41.630 that trade i think that's a slam all right no 0:13:41.650 --> 0:13:43.630 doubt grace and alan to me i'd rather have the 0:13:43.650 --> 0:13:46.170 miles bridges then you throw in good role player and 0:13:46.190 --> 0:13:48.770 royce o'neill then you throw in an unprotected first like 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.429 that's not just a win of a trade that's an 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:55.619 absolute yes molly whomping or molly whopping There seems to 0:13:55.660 --> 0:13:58.359 be some disagreement, Bone, from the texters on how I 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.460 am supposed to say that word. Is it mollywhomping or mollywhopping? 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.800 Let's go check my good buddy AI. 0:14:05.500 --> 0:14:07.979 Allen Iverson going to tell you. Yes, sir. Let me 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.520 see here. Let's see here, Mac. Give me a second here. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:11.699 Watch. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.200 I'll figure out how to spell it. Yeah, which one? 0:14:14.220 --> 0:14:17.040 Which one we go with? I believe. Or can you 0:14:17.090 --> 0:14:18.380 go with either? Is it one of those things you 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:18.810 can just. 0:14:18.670 --> 0:14:18.950 Go with either? 0:14:18.970 --> 0:14:20.930 So what were the two options? Is it mollywhopped, right? 0:14:21.210 --> 0:14:25.000 Mollywhopped or mollywhomp? I believe Molly Whopped is what it is. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:26.800 Is that what it is? All right. All right. So 0:14:26.820 --> 0:14:28.120 I got to get the Whomp out of there? I 0:14:28.140 --> 0:14:31.620 think Whomp's got to go. Think Whopper. Think candy that 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.900 you like, Mac. Think Whopper. Yeah, there's no such thing 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:35.760 as Molly Whopped. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:36.180 Okay. 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.780 What if I make that mine? What if I just 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.640 create it? Make it your own. Make up my own 0:14:39.660 --> 0:14:41.710 damn work. Make it your own. Yeah, maybe I'll do that. 0:14:41.790 --> 0:14:42.590 Maybe I will do that. 0:14:42.970 --> 0:14:44.970 We'll talk about the game later, but there are definitely 0:14:44.990 --> 0:14:48.570 some things in there that we found annoying, that I 0:14:48.590 --> 0:14:51.170 found annoying, and we'll talk about it as the show 0:14:51.210 --> 0:14:53.030 goes on. We'll get later in the show, see if 0:14:53.110 --> 0:14:55.970 everybody kind of feels the same way. We'll talk about 0:14:56.010 --> 0:14:59.590 this Nas Reid, you know, good chance he could be 0:14:59.650 --> 0:15:05.020 traded report from John Krasinski, who knows Nas pretty well 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.080 from the Minnesota days. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.600 I don't know if this is just Nas's camp. trying 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.220 to make this happen. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.380 Makes you wonder because of where it came from also, 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:15.760 as we'll explain. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:20.260 Is Nas not enjoying, like, because you said something off 0:15:20.300 --> 0:15:23.150 the air about Nas, could he just want out of here? 0:15:23.210 --> 0:15:25.750 You know, there's been the Bill Simmons saying he looks 0:15:25.810 --> 0:15:27.910 miserable or doesn't like it here. 0:15:27.970 --> 0:15:31.830 There's been the... Charles Lee, Nas Reed, back and forth. 0:15:32.730 --> 0:15:35.550 I keep pointing out that this dude gets used like 0:15:35.570 --> 0:15:39.230 he's an all-NBA player right now. He had 18 shots. Now, 0:15:39.330 --> 0:15:40.970 I'm going to be honest with you. I hate the 0:15:40.990 --> 0:15:43.410 fact that Nas Reed might be our first option right now. 0:15:44.110 --> 0:15:46.130 It's not the role he should have. It reminds me 0:15:46.170 --> 0:15:48.550 of when Miles Bridges was our first option due to injury. 0:15:49.100 --> 0:15:51.540 He went 6-18 from the floor and had four turnovers 0:15:51.580 --> 0:15:53.920 last night, including two key ones in the final five minutes. 0:15:55.100 --> 0:15:59.390 But my question is, Doesn't he enjoy being treated like 0:15:59.430 --> 0:16:00.570 he's Karl Malone with. 0:16:00.510 --> 0:16:01.170 A three-point shot? 0:16:01.190 --> 0:16:05.450 Because that's the way he's being treated right now. Or 0:16:05.470 --> 0:16:07.950 do you think he is uncomfortable in a role? Do 0:16:07.990 --> 0:16:11.360 you think he realizes this doesn't bring out the. 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:11.860 Best in me? 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.420 I actually quoted you on the pregame show last night 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.260 because I thought it was an interesting thing you brought up. 0:16:16.660 --> 0:16:20.300 We assume, Mac, that a guy is okay with an 0:16:20.340 --> 0:16:25.070 increased workload, more pressure on him. He's not only back– 0:16:25.370 --> 0:16:27.450 Got to get the leadership uptick that they're going to 0:16:27.470 --> 0:16:29.690 ask for. But they're asking him to do a lot 0:16:29.710 --> 0:16:32.350 of extra basketball stuff. And you brought up, we always 0:16:32.430 --> 0:16:35.570 assume that a player wants more responsibility. 0:16:35.590 --> 0:16:37.750 Wants more shots. He wants more shots. He wants the ball. 0:16:38.190 --> 0:16:41.170 Nas Reed played a very specific role back in Minnesota 0:16:41.190 --> 0:16:44.320 where he was the guy off the bench, the sixth man. 0:16:44.660 --> 0:16:48.430 There wasn't necessarily the pressure of the Anthony Edwards or... 0:16:48.860 --> 0:16:51.500 what gobert was asked to do or julius randall he 0:16:51.540 --> 0:16:54.359 came in in a specialized role now he's asked to 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.610 kind of go be the star player and you ask 0:16:56.650 --> 0:17:00.910 the question is he comfortable with that or was minnesota 0:17:00.970 --> 0:17:03.410 where he was comfortable in his role it fit his 0:17:03.430 --> 0:17:06.320 personality now you're asking him to do a lot of 0:17:06.390 --> 0:17:09.600 leadership and a lot of extra basketball stuff we're not 0:17:09.619 --> 0:17:11.940 sure mackie wants that many shots i I have no idea. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.899 Most basketball players would want to be the guy that 0:17:14.940 --> 0:17:15.490 gets to shoot a ton. 0:17:15.500 --> 0:17:17.939 You would think so. But he also has the ball. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.850 He's handling. He's trying to create. Sometimes things get a 0:17:20.850 --> 0:17:24.590 little rough. Is it a little above his skill set? 0:17:24.650 --> 0:17:26.670 We know it is, right? We know this should not 0:17:26.690 --> 0:17:31.430 be his role. I think that's obvious. But does he 0:17:31.510 --> 0:17:35.150 feel like, oh, man, I'm being asked over. My usage 0:17:35.230 --> 0:17:37.970 rate's too high. Or I would still default to most 0:17:37.990 --> 0:17:38.890 people probably like. 0:17:39.770 --> 0:17:42.540 Go get us buckets. You know what I mean? I 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.679 would still think Moe, but I don't know. I think 0:17:44.700 --> 0:17:46.520 it's a legitimate question. 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.700 He's the first guy from Minnesota that we're not sure 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.979 he wanted to be here since Adam Thielen. Also, what 0:17:53.060 --> 0:17:56.000 is that? These nice guys with these big followings. And, oh, 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.629 my God, we're getting this unreal teammate in Adam Thielen. Oh, 0:17:59.670 --> 0:18:01.570 my God, he's going to be here. He's going to 0:18:01.609 --> 0:18:03.590 lead this whole entire group. Oh, my God, Nas Reed 0:18:03.650 --> 0:18:06.050 is one of the most beloved athletes in Minnesota history. 0:18:06.430 --> 0:18:08.000 Then they come here, Mac, and it's like, eh, eh. 0:18:08.730 --> 0:18:10.050 I might want to go home. I don't know. I 0:18:10.070 --> 0:18:10.600 don't know if I like it. 0:18:10.609 --> 0:18:13.090 And wouldn't everybody love to be back in Minnesota rather 0:18:13.130 --> 0:18:14.050 than the Carolinas? 0:18:15.750 --> 0:18:16.869 That's the funny thing about it. 0:18:17.340 --> 0:18:17.669 Anyway. 0:18:17.710 --> 0:18:20.100 Outside of that cheeseburger that they have up there. I'm 0:18:20.130 --> 0:18:21.400 not going to disparage that thing. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:22.080 Anyway. 0:18:22.100 --> 0:18:24.600 Juicy Lucy Burger. I'm sure you can get it. We 0:18:24.619 --> 0:18:25.540 can't Lucy it up here. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:25.900 You can. 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.820 We can't put cheese inside a burger here. 0:18:27.940 --> 0:18:30.359 You can, but I don't know what kind of cows 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.080 they're growing up there in Minnesota. You can have your 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:33.879 Juicy Lucy. 0:18:34.020 --> 0:18:35.780 I don't want to be in 14 degree weather. 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:37.580 At any point during the year. You don't want to 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:38.240 freeze your loosies. 0:18:38.420 --> 0:18:41.580 I do not want to at all, man. I need 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:46.090 to mention, exciting game last night between the Giants and 0:18:46.109 --> 0:18:51.590 the Commanders. McCarthy throws two INTs fairly late in this game, including, 0:18:51.609 --> 0:18:54.189 or no, I'm sorry, throws the one big inter, why'd 0:18:54.210 --> 0:18:56.910 I give him two? One big inter, Daniel's had two interceptions. 0:18:57.250 --> 0:18:59.409 McCarthy threw an interception late in this game that was 0:18:59.510 --> 0:19:03.020 killer bone with the lead. Daniel Zen throws the game-winning 0:19:03.060 --> 0:19:08.280 touchdown pass after that. You also had McCarthy. They ran 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:10.080 like it was third and three or something like that. 0:19:10.619 --> 0:19:12.680 And it looked like they ran like a quarterback sweep 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:13.340 with McCarthy. 0:19:13.820 --> 0:19:14.879 Yeah, interesting. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.440 I don't understand that play call. That didn't help things 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.359 for the Giants either in order to try to finish 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.939 the game with the lead. But I'm going to be 0:19:23.980 --> 0:19:26.510 honest with you, Bone. This game to me will be 0:19:26.550 --> 0:19:30.869 remembered as the Jameis Winston hard count game. And the 0:19:31.090 --> 0:19:34.070 audio that they got on their field mics of this 0:19:34.130 --> 0:19:35.490 hard count from. 0:19:35.410 --> 0:19:39.530 Jameis was amazing. All-timer. I mean, you don't, you normally 0:19:39.570 --> 0:19:43.770 hear a hard count that clearly. That was so awesome. 0:19:43.890 --> 0:19:47.869 You never know what the jamis experience will bring he 0:19:47.890 --> 0:19:50.689 was qb sneaking in this game and then i don't 0:19:50.710 --> 0:19:53.830 think anyone saw the magic that was going to happen 0:19:53.869 --> 0:19:55.430 do we have the audio of this here fit dog 0:19:55.450 --> 0:19:57.760 is this we do yeah they were bringing that keyword 0:19:57.780 --> 0:20:00.119 dog they were bringing jamis. 0:19:59.690 --> 0:20:02.980 In in a short yardage like quarterback sneak package yeah 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.919 yeah third and one at like their own 11 give 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.460 or take they in the fourth quarter he gets stuffed 0:20:10.270 --> 0:20:12.070 And they have to review it because they gave him 0:20:12.090 --> 0:20:13.770 the first down. Then they review it, and he didn't 0:20:13.790 --> 0:20:17.790 get it. And so on fourth and one, Al Michaels 0:20:18.210 --> 0:20:20.710 scored one for him because I know he catches a 0:20:20.710 --> 0:20:22.920 lot of flack. He knew they were just going to 0:20:22.940 --> 0:20:25.120 try to draw him offside. Herbstreet thought they were going 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:26.780 for it, but with a lead fourth and one at 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:28.210 their own 11. Yeah, I don't know what was going on. 0:20:28.220 --> 0:20:32.540 I didn't understand that. But listen to Jameis' hard count attempt. 0:20:32.619 --> 0:20:35.600 It did not work to get Washington to jump offside. 0:20:35.619 --> 0:20:36.960 Get ready. 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:39.460 Get set. Huckman. 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.170 That's old school. You're right. 0:20:44.250 --> 0:20:47.530 They're not going to do it. 0:20:47.570 --> 0:20:50.560 Who let the dogs out? Who let the dogs out? 0:20:50.609 --> 0:20:53.170 You've got to be kidding me. What is he doing? 0:20:53.210 --> 0:20:55.030 What is he doing? 0:20:55.090 --> 0:20:57.970 Who let the dogs out? Roof, roof, roof. 0:20:58.050 --> 0:21:01.710 At Washington, the look on Sonny Stiles' face after that 0:21:01.790 --> 0:21:03.780 play when the Giants just said, ah, we didn't get 0:21:03.820 --> 0:21:04.320 you to jump. 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:07.460 Sonny Stiles is looking at him like, what is wrong 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:12.790 with you? Ha, ha, ha, ha. I couldn't believe it. 0:21:12.950 --> 0:21:15.899 Jameis' cadence went to now that's what I call music 0:21:15.940 --> 0:21:19.180 volume three. What if he would have said, hut, hut, 0:21:19.780 --> 0:21:21.399 let me see that. 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.870 Oh, that would be a beautiful question. What is his 0:21:25.970 --> 0:21:29.170 next old school song to audible to? Can you take 0:21:29.290 --> 0:21:32.830 me higher? Y'all going to make me lose my mind. 0:21:32.930 --> 0:21:34.690 Hut in here, hut in here. 0:21:37.500 --> 0:21:38.660 I mean, that's crazy. 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.840 It would have been really embarrassing, Matt, if he would 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.139 have gotten a commander to jump off. 0:21:43.420 --> 0:21:46.840 Oh, that's so true. Now, apparently, Jameis said we came 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.060 up with that in practice. I do believe it had 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:52.900 to be Jameis' idea first. Harbaugh, after the game, said, yes, 0:21:52.980 --> 0:21:55.120 that is the cadence. That's what we wanted to do. 0:21:55.220 --> 0:21:58.560 So I would have thought for sure, especially if they 0:21:58.580 --> 0:22:01.100 blew the lead after that point. I would have thought 0:22:01.140 --> 0:22:02.980 when they asked Harbaugh he would have been annoyed by it, 0:22:02.980 --> 0:22:04.850 but apparently, Bone, this was their big idea. 0:22:04.940 --> 0:22:08.490 No, this is how you maximize Jameis. 0:22:08.750 --> 0:22:09.290 Oh, God. 0:22:09.510 --> 0:22:13.150 When we come back, the Panthers injury report looking good 0:22:13.190 --> 0:22:16.609 but not perfect. Mike Jack talks about returning to practice, 0:22:17.170 --> 0:22:20.520 and Todd Walsh gets honest about his Panthers D.C. 0:22:20.580 --> 0:22:23.160 Debut. Mack Bone, Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ. 0:22:39.530 --> 0:22:54.720 You know, I had my dark days. 0:22:54.760 --> 0:23:01.179 Didn't want to be bothered and all that, but I 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.020 just told myself, when you come back, none of this matters. 0:23:04.100 --> 0:23:07.320 None of them dark days, they don't matter. It matters 0:23:07.340 --> 0:23:09.270 what you do on the field because nobody cares how 0:23:09.290 --> 0:23:12.490 you feel. Now we're here, it's like just go play ball. 0:23:12.950 --> 0:23:15.350 How did it feel to be out there running around? 0:23:15.369 --> 0:23:15.930 How did it. 0:23:15.890 --> 0:23:17.050 Feel to be out there running around? 0:23:17.090 --> 0:23:19.350 It felt good. I put my helmet back on for 0:23:19.369 --> 0:23:21.050 the first time. That had dust in it. 0:23:21.170 --> 0:23:21.510 It was fun. 0:23:26.540 --> 0:23:28.540 Mike Jack has a way with words, does he not? 0:23:29.180 --> 0:23:29.850 It felt good. 0:23:29.869 --> 0:23:33.070 Put my helmet on. That bleep had dust in it. 0:23:33.310 --> 0:23:36.230 There you go, Mike Jack. Don't change, baby. Looking forward 0:23:36.250 --> 0:23:38.290 to seeing you back out on the field, Bone. I 0:23:38.290 --> 0:23:40.970 don't know why I told you. I'm looking forward to 0:23:41.010 --> 0:23:42.350 seeing you back out on the field. I'm looking forward 0:23:42.369 --> 0:23:44.090 to seeing him back out on the field, Bone. Yeah, 0:23:44.109 --> 0:23:47.030 I think there's a comma in there. Looking forward to 0:23:47.070 --> 0:23:49.879 seeing him come up. I said you, though. Why did 0:23:49.910 --> 0:23:50.930 I say you to you? 0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:53.480 Because you... That's how desperate we are at corner. 0:23:53.500 --> 0:23:56.740 Deep down in your soul, you know you'd love to 0:23:56.780 --> 0:23:57.500 see me out there making plays. 0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:58.920 I know you're a baller. I really do. 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.540 I may give you a hard time on the air 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.139 about athleticism, but I would trust you at corner. I 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.679 would trust you not to commit 16 pass interferences. 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:11.160 In a Hornets game, I wouldn't commit 20 million turnovers. Matt, 0:24:11.180 --> 0:24:13.889 would you consider me at this point in my life... 0:24:14.390 --> 0:24:20.690 crafty what term mac would you use that often describes 0:24:20.750 --> 0:24:23.030 the aging white man crafty. 0:24:22.990 --> 0:24:24.409 I was gonna say you're the right race to be 0:24:24.450 --> 0:24:27.290 called crafty i feel like they only call white. 0:24:27.109 --> 0:24:30.470 Dudes crafty all right anyway let's talk about it so. 0:24:30.369 --> 0:24:34.800 We've got we've got this show's too fun so. 0:24:34.700 --> 0:24:37.620 Here's here's the uh deal on the injury report mike 0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:43.600 jack Jonathan Brooks, Brady Christensen, Will Lee also, and XL 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.980 all full practice yesterday. So unless there's some sort of 0:24:47.030 --> 0:24:51.109 setback today, unless they don't handle it a day later well, 0:24:51.330 --> 0:24:55.130 going full tilt yesterday, it's really looking good, knock on wood, 0:24:55.150 --> 0:25:00.850 to get all those guys back. Mike Jack and Will Lee... 0:25:01.470 --> 0:25:05.050 both at corner against shuck and a lave and company 0:25:05.130 --> 0:25:07.250 like that that feels huge man. 0:25:07.210 --> 0:25:10.470 You strengthen an area of our of of the roster 0:25:10.890 --> 0:25:13.600 that will need it in this game against really the 0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.500 strength of what the saints do wide outs and push 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:18.920 the ball down the field so it's the perfect time 0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:22.040 to get guys back matched up against saints don't run 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:24.780 it very well don't defend it very well but they 0:25:24.820 --> 0:25:27.040 do throw the football down the field with those guys 0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.359 great timing of mike jack and lee back in this 0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:30.560 matchup Absolutely. 0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.200 I'm not going to lie to you, Mac. 0:25:32.340 --> 0:25:35.620 I'm feeling pretty darn good. You feeling frisky? I'm feeling 0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:39.929 a little frisky. I'm not making bold statements. I'm not 0:25:39.970 --> 0:25:42.350 doing any of that. I just woke up today and said, 0:25:42.890 --> 0:25:45.619 we're feeling good. On this Panther Friday. 0:25:45.869 --> 0:25:46.389 Oh, man. 0:25:46.730 --> 0:25:47.230 Oh, man. 0:25:47.270 --> 0:25:48.510 I don't know. Is that good or bad, y'all? 0:25:48.750 --> 0:25:51.070 Because I think this spot, Mac, they better feel damn 0:25:51.090 --> 0:25:54.310 good because the difference, I think, for this team in 0:25:54.410 --> 0:25:56.990 four and five, in three and six, even in the 0:25:57.050 --> 0:26:00.510 NFC South, just for vibes, is massive. Oh, no. 0:26:00.530 --> 0:26:03.250 This is huge, too. This is a divisional game. These 0:26:03.310 --> 0:26:06.690 are mammoth. I can only feel so good when we're 0:26:06.710 --> 0:26:10.630 playing at New Orleans. That has been a house of horrors. 0:26:11.670 --> 0:26:15.180 historically and the last seven years where we've lost six 0:26:15.260 --> 0:26:18.240 of them. As far as injuries go. I don't need 0:26:18.260 --> 0:26:20.540 your facts up in here. As far as injuries. 0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:21.720 Who let them back up? 0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:25.899 Who? As far as injuries. So I told you the 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:29.930 guys that are looking good. They're full practice yesterday. Jalen 0:26:29.970 --> 0:26:33.070 Phillips and Damian Lewis are both limited. So those guys 0:26:33.109 --> 0:26:36.110 seem like they could go either way. Bobby Okereke, this 0:26:36.150 --> 0:26:39.189 foot injury, in Ron Rivera's words, the foot may be 0:26:39.230 --> 0:26:39.830 a such bone. 0:26:40.260 --> 0:26:40.630 Oh, yeah. 0:26:40.730 --> 0:26:44.639 Because he has not practiced yet with this foot injury 0:26:44.700 --> 0:26:48.320 that we don't even remember when it happened. So that one, 0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:52.120 Okereke feels unlikely, but there's a good group of guys 0:26:52.140 --> 0:26:54.179 we're getting back. If you could get Phillips and or 0:26:54.220 --> 0:26:56.350 D'Lo back... I'd feel even better. 0:26:56.810 --> 0:26:57.330 So we'll see. 0:26:57.350 --> 0:27:01.030 We'll see how, how they go today at practice. I 0:27:01.070 --> 0:27:04.210 want to salute Todd wash, man. I liked, I liked 0:27:04.230 --> 0:27:04.889 the barrel. 0:27:04.630 --> 0:27:05.750 More than most. I will say that. 0:27:05.790 --> 0:27:09.080 I will acknowledge that Todd wash is just what you 0:27:09.190 --> 0:27:13.600 is central casting for a defensive line, defensive football coach. 0:27:14.240 --> 0:27:16.520 He is a trip. He really is. 0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:19.240 He kept doing this thing yesterday on his press conference. 0:27:19.260 --> 0:27:21.000 Like he did it before there was a question asked. 0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:24.430 All right, can we wrap this up? And then he 0:27:24.450 --> 0:27:26.070 gets a smile on his face. You know he's– because 0:27:26.109 --> 0:27:28.370 at first when I couldn't see his face, I'm like, 0:27:29.210 --> 0:27:31.050 is he like one of the– because you know some coaches– 0:27:31.070 --> 0:27:32.810 He just wants to coach ball, man. Some coaches are 0:27:32.830 --> 0:27:34.950 like that. Just get me back to ball, man. It's annoying. 0:27:35.290 --> 0:27:37.420 But he was clearly having fun with it. He did 0:27:37.460 --> 0:27:39.040 it at another point in the middle of the interview. 0:27:39.100 --> 0:27:41.420 Can we wrap this up? And he started smiling. This 0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:44.660 guy's likable. And also something else, Bone, that I think 0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:47.500 is really likable about him, he was asked the question 0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.890 of what was it like– Because it's been, you know, 0:27:50.910 --> 0:27:52.830 a few years, right? Since he was the DC in 0:27:52.869 --> 0:27:55.590 Jacksonville for that five-year stretch. So what was it like 0:27:55.630 --> 0:27:58.990 to call plays again? And he was pretty honestly, honestly 0:27:59.030 --> 0:28:00.970 admitting that I wasn't really good at the start of 0:28:01.020 --> 0:28:01.380 this game. 0:28:02.260 --> 0:28:05.340 The first series, you know, changing personnel and stuff. And 0:28:07.260 --> 0:28:10.919 it was right at the, about midway through the first drive, 0:28:10.980 --> 0:28:15.410 I was like, okay, I remember this. But initially it was, 0:28:15.930 --> 0:28:17.510 you know, I can't really say what it was like, 0:28:17.609 --> 0:28:22.449 but It wasn't good. I didn't feel comfortable. It was 0:28:22.510 --> 0:28:24.929 my fault. I got caught with 12 out on the grass. 0:28:25.010 --> 0:28:27.800 I changed the personnel late, and damn it, I know 0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:32.020 better than that. But it took that first series to 0:28:32.060 --> 0:28:36.359 get it back, and then I felt more comfortable saying 0:28:36.380 --> 0:28:38.050 the personnel so they could get it in and then 0:28:38.090 --> 0:28:40.130 going to the call. So there's a process that we 0:28:40.170 --> 0:28:43.210 go through. I obviously didn't have a training camp to 0:28:43.250 --> 0:28:46.630 get through it. so there was a learning curve right away, 0:28:46.850 --> 0:28:48.930 but I felt better as the game went on, and 0:28:48.970 --> 0:28:50.330 I think it's only going to get better, or at 0:28:50.370 --> 0:28:51.650 least it damn well better get better. 0:28:52.870 --> 0:28:57.270 Mac, he's got an opportunity here to make this not 0:28:57.330 --> 0:29:00.540 only his defense in the now, but we'll see what 0:29:00.560 --> 0:29:03.100 the future holds because he does have, as we mentioned 0:29:03.500 --> 0:29:06.280 when he took over, he does have a track record 0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:10.340 in Jacksonville, three defenses finished in the top ten total defense, 0:29:10.660 --> 0:29:13.730 coached a team to an AFC championship game, Gets a 0:29:13.750 --> 0:29:16.450 lot of credit, Mac, for work he did with Aiden 0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:20.200 Hutchinson and other star players along the way. And Derek 0:29:20.220 --> 0:29:22.500 Brown also is part of that now. This guy's got 0:29:22.620 --> 0:29:26.920 a pretty lengthy track record where if this thing succeeds 0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:30.510 in any way, he may have the opportunity to make 0:29:30.550 --> 0:29:31.480 this his permanent game. 0:29:31.510 --> 0:29:34.310 Oh, yeah, I think he 100% is in play for 0:29:34.330 --> 0:29:36.930 that job, just depending on how it goes the rest 0:29:36.990 --> 0:29:37.410 of the way. 0:29:37.410 --> 0:29:40.050 I like easy guy to root for also when you 0:29:40.090 --> 0:29:40.390 hear him. 0:29:40.370 --> 0:29:42.320 I like the way he took the accountability too for 0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.100 the 12 men on the field thing he didn't have 0:29:44.130 --> 0:29:46.020 to do that publicly but i thought that was pretty 0:29:46.060 --> 0:29:49.340 cool and here here's another one too where he admits 0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:52.880 you know, I got to do something different. He was 0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:56.320 asked about Dave Canales saying Lee Hunter's got to play more. 0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.200 Lee Hunter played 13 snaps, but in those 13 snaps, Bone, 0:29:59.660 --> 0:30:02.500 two pressures and two stops in the run game. Like 0:30:02.540 --> 0:30:06.880 we noticed him, you know, and Todd Walsh agree with Canales. 0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:08.300 I got to have him on the field more. 0:30:08.900 --> 0:30:11.160 I think some of it was the miscommunication from me 0:30:11.460 --> 0:30:15.170 to our staff. We had a plan. We had base 0:30:15.330 --> 0:30:18.770 up where Lee obviously starts in base. but we played 0:30:18.810 --> 0:30:21.750 a lot of our four-down stuff in big nickel, as 0:30:21.790 --> 0:30:24.190 we call it, where there's only two interior D linemen 0:30:24.230 --> 0:30:28.380 out there. And as the game went on, obviously we 0:30:28.400 --> 0:30:30.460 didn't play as much base, so he didn't get enough reps. 0:30:31.260 --> 0:30:35.400 It is a major, major point of emphasis to make 0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:40.150 sure he gets more. I'll take that. He has to 0:30:40.190 --> 0:30:43.150 play more. He's a good football player, and it is 0:30:43.490 --> 0:30:46.690 as simple as getting him in the game. And he 0:30:46.730 --> 0:30:47.610 will be in the game more. 0:30:47.930 --> 0:30:49.790 There we go. There we go. I think we need 0:30:49.810 --> 0:30:50.770 to see it. When I was. 0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:54.420 doing the Hornets pregame show last night, waiting to start. 0:30:54.460 --> 0:30:57.050 I was just scrolling the text line through the day 0:30:57.090 --> 0:30:58.710 to see what the topics were, what people were saying. 0:30:58.750 --> 0:31:01.490 And someone asked somewhere along the way yesterday, why haven't 0:31:01.530 --> 0:31:04.830 they heard Lee Hunter's name all season? Implying that Lee 0:31:04.870 --> 0:31:07.670 Hunter's doing nothing. And I'm thinking Todd Walsh talked about 0:31:07.710 --> 0:31:09.580 him today. Also, did you not see the game against 0:31:09.940 --> 0:31:12.540 the recent games? He's all over the place. I see 0:31:12.540 --> 0:31:14.920 92 all the time. I thought he played 92. 0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.920 Yeah, you do. Everywhere you turn and look. 0:31:18.660 --> 0:31:20.620 For better or worse, we do see you all the time. 0:31:20.870 --> 0:31:24.330 It's always for the better. I didn't dig that one 0:31:24.350 --> 0:31:24.780 through all the way. 0:31:24.790 --> 0:31:26.790 So you and your boy Stephen A hanging out again. 0:31:26.810 --> 0:31:31.390 That bromance is kind of cool. Stephen A, 92. 0:31:31.390 --> 0:31:34.830 What a tremendous guy Stephen A is. Kind of like myself, 0:31:35.030 --> 0:31:39.130 always misunderstood. I like when you. 0:31:39.010 --> 0:31:41.630 Do that inflection, like the change in inflection at the 0:31:41.690 --> 0:31:42.190 end like that. 0:31:42.230 --> 0:31:44.660 Where he gets quieter, almost like talking to himself. That's 0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:47.640 what makes it really good, right? Like that. 0:31:48.060 --> 0:31:51.580 Fitties 92 is good. I know some texters love it. 0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:54.260 Some texters don't. That is strong work out of the 0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:54.720 fit dog. 0:31:54.740 --> 0:31:56.670 That was on me. I didn't really think through Lee 0:31:56.690 --> 0:31:57.740 Hunter's number when I said it. 0:31:58.170 --> 0:32:01.850 I thought it was, I thought it was his best 0:32:01.890 --> 0:32:04.709 game last week, but he only played 13 snaps, but 0:32:04.750 --> 0:32:07.830 I thought it was like, I mean, he made plays 0:32:07.910 --> 0:32:10.090 on a very high percentage of his snaps last week. 0:32:10.110 --> 0:32:13.070 So I'm excited to see him more, especially since wash 0:32:13.390 --> 0:32:16.290 once those guys attacking more upfront, that does fit his style. 0:32:16.950 --> 0:32:17.570 All right. 0:32:17.610 --> 0:32:21.590 So I mentioned the house of horrors bone and how 0:32:22.390 --> 0:32:25.590 the Panthers have struggled historically and, in the dome in 0:32:25.630 --> 0:32:30.060 New Orleans. That includes losing six of their last seven 0:32:30.390 --> 0:32:32.500 dang games. Of course, Fiddy is doing the six, seven 0:32:32.540 --> 0:32:36.760 thing with his hands over there. Robert Hunt was asked 0:32:36.820 --> 0:32:40.040 yesterday about, especially for an old lineman, right? 0:32:40.100 --> 0:32:40.940 And it's a worry. 0:32:41.420 --> 0:32:44.040 These old lineman bone are already struggling enough. Then you 0:32:44.060 --> 0:32:46.719 throw that element in of the hell Monroe Freeling said 0:32:46.740 --> 0:32:48.870 the crowd was the Broncos fans were too loud here. 0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:51.880 That's why he was getting off slow off the jump. 0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:55.320 So Robert Hunt talked about preparing for it and dealing 0:32:55.400 --> 0:32:56.620 with the noise in the dome. 0:32:57.200 --> 0:32:58.800 I mean, you can try to prepare, but it's hard, man. 0:32:58.880 --> 0:33:01.040 Even out here when I'm working the solid cadence, me 0:33:01.460 --> 0:33:04.729 speaking for me, it's kind of, it's tough, man. Like, 0:33:04.930 --> 0:33:06.410 cause at home, at home, you know, you hear the 0:33:06.430 --> 0:33:08.570 snap count, get out your shoes, let's go, let's go block. Here, 0:33:08.590 --> 0:33:09.950 you got to kind of be aware of what's going on. 0:33:09.950 --> 0:33:10.910 You got to look at your guy. You kind of 0:33:10.930 --> 0:33:12.090 got to look at the ball and you got all 0:33:12.110 --> 0:33:13.890 the noise. If it's the check, you got to like 0:33:14.030 --> 0:33:16.170 hear the check. So It's going to be a tough 0:33:16.250 --> 0:33:18.640 environment to play in, man, but I think we played 0:33:18.660 --> 0:33:19.760 in a couple of those already this year. 0:33:20.260 --> 0:33:21.600 Oh, Magritte, there's no. 0:33:22.660 --> 0:33:25.520 There is a 100% guarantee Robert Hunt's going to get 0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:28.240 a penalty in this game, right? He might be wandering 0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:29.870 down Bourbon Street at some point. He's so far down 0:33:29.890 --> 0:33:33.489 the field. Just put it down now. Robert Hunt's going 0:33:33.510 --> 0:33:35.350 to do something. They get the penalty. It's just going 0:33:35.370 --> 0:33:39.470 to happen, right? In the dome, offside, he's going to wander. 0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:42.800 Something's happening in this game. I would not bet against it, 0:33:42.820 --> 0:33:45.440 to your point. I'm very worried about the time. 0:33:45.460 --> 0:33:46.880 Robert, come back. We're over here. 0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:52.140 It ends up in Baton Rouge. I am very worried 0:33:52.180 --> 0:33:54.610 about our tackles in this game. We'll talk about it more, Bone. 0:33:54.630 --> 0:33:56.830 We've got our 7 o'clock segment where we talk about 0:33:56.850 --> 0:33:59.530 the matchups we like, matchups we don't like. We'll get 0:33:59.570 --> 0:34:01.870 into it, but I'm very worried about this matchup for 0:34:01.950 --> 0:34:07.000 our tackles specifically. 92 getting rave reviews. People texting in 0:34:07.020 --> 0:34:11.299 this morning like the Fitty. Congrats, 92. Rachel with an 0:34:11.340 --> 0:34:15.930 amazing bit of humor here. She says, maybe the O-line 0:34:15.989 --> 0:34:18.430 stepped on a Cherokee's foot while he was on the sideline. 0:34:20.090 --> 0:34:22.720 I think Rasheed Walker, Bone, got shoved all the way 0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:26.799 to the sideline and he stepped on Okereke's foot and 0:34:26.820 --> 0:34:28.020 that's how the injury happened. 0:34:28.340 --> 0:34:31.259 That's pretty funny. If you can't laugh, Bone, you're going 0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:34.060 to cry. If you can't laugh with them, join them. 0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:34.739 Isn't that the old saying? 0:34:34.780 --> 0:34:36.580 If you can't laugh with them, join them. I think 0:34:36.620 --> 0:34:39.580 Smoke would agree with you. You and Smoke should have 0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:42.320 a saying contest. Who could complete the famous saying? 0:34:43.489 --> 0:34:46.640 When we come back, you say potato, I say potato, 0:34:47.010 --> 0:34:50.379 I say who cares what's on TV this weekend with 0:34:50.420 --> 0:34:52.580 the Couch Potato Guide. You like that whole thing there, Matt? 0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:54.219 You got that saying right, too. I got the whole 0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:57.460 thing right. Couch Potato Guide, sports on TV, coming up 0:34:57.500 --> 0:34:59.180 next on Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. 0:35:23.140 --> 0:35:26.080 I would say this the word is they're very active 0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:29.280 right um you know virginia had the big six seven 0:35:29.340 --> 0:35:31.950 long guys that you know, gave us some issues. I mean, 0:35:31.969 --> 0:35:32.930 these guys are active. 0:35:32.969 --> 0:35:33.590 They're quick. 0:35:34.230 --> 0:35:37.290 They have some really good pressure packages. They have 27 sacks. 0:35:37.750 --> 0:35:39.290 I believe in the last two years, they have the 0:35:39.330 --> 0:35:41.110 most sacks in FBS football. 0:35:41.110 --> 0:35:44.550 151 in the last three. 0:35:44.590 --> 0:35:45.050 Three years. 0:35:45.430 --> 0:35:46.370 Number one in the country. 0:35:46.410 --> 0:35:50.850 So obviously the scheme, the aggressiveness, the moments, you know, 0:35:50.890 --> 0:35:53.110 so Gio's going to have to be agile on his feet, 0:35:53.270 --> 0:35:55.509 you know, and trust me, I want to say this. 0:35:55.570 --> 0:35:58.759 Gio has had an amazing week of practice. he is 0:35:58.860 --> 0:36:01.239 ready to go he can play exactly the way he 0:36:01.300 --> 0:36:04.660 needs to play this guy is so tough but it's 0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:07.090 been fun to see him compete and get back to 0:36:07.110 --> 0:36:08.710 the way I know he's capable of playing. 0:36:09.710 --> 0:36:12.790 That is Jake Dickard, the live Jake Dickard show. That 0:36:12.890 --> 0:36:18.670 is the, he of the new contract extension, Wake Forest 0:36:18.690 --> 0:36:19.860 head coach, Jake Dickard. 0:36:21.420 --> 0:36:23.600 Congratulations to him. Congratulations to Wake fans. 0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:26.239 Like that might be as big for Wake fans as 0:36:26.260 --> 0:36:29.100 it is for Jake and his family personally. Right. 0:36:29.219 --> 0:36:32.319 So, I mean, I never know with coaching contracts. So 0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:34.680 do we, does that have something to do with just 0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:38.050 changing the buyout around? Does that mean he's for sure 0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:40.190 not going anywhere? Like what exactly does that mean in 0:36:40.210 --> 0:36:42.410 the coaching contract? It's according to Pete Thamel. 0:36:42.489 --> 0:36:45.069 Not only is it, is it a new deal for him, 0:36:45.550 --> 0:36:49.609 but it also includes more resources being spent. I would 0:36:49.650 --> 0:36:52.890 guess on the roster because they are the lowest in 0:36:52.910 --> 0:36:56.400 the ACC or right near the the lowest of the ACC, 0:36:57.180 --> 0:36:58.080 and more on. 0:36:58.060 --> 0:37:01.259 Their staff, too. So it's an investment. It's an investment 0:37:01.300 --> 0:37:04.060 into the program. That is massive news for Wake Forest. 0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:07.540 And that's potentially not going to make this about myself 0:37:07.580 --> 0:37:10.160 here before I do the guide, but that's maybe not 0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.570 good news. on the Duke front because we viewed Manny 0:37:13.610 --> 0:37:16.009 Diaz and Dickert as two of the hot names out there. 0:37:16.430 --> 0:37:19.160 If Dickert's not on the board, that does make me 0:37:19.219 --> 0:37:21.640 worry how much does that move up Manny Diaz maybe 0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:22.839 in some teams' eyes, right? 0:37:22.860 --> 0:37:24.200 Maybe Duke ought to try and do the same thing. 0:37:24.219 --> 0:37:26.260 Maybe Duke ought to do this thing as quick as possible. 0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:26.870 Maybe they ought to try. 0:37:26.880 --> 0:37:28.960 And also sign Nate Shepard while you're at it. They 0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:31.530 might want to do the same thing. Re-sign him, please. 0:37:31.570 --> 0:37:35.029 Gio Lopez listed as probable for the game. Jake just 0:37:35.070 --> 0:37:37.629 told you right there from his coach's show, he's ready 0:37:37.670 --> 0:37:39.629 to go. And I don't think anybody denied it. He's 0:37:39.650 --> 0:37:41.469 been banged up for much of the season. As well 0:37:41.510 --> 0:37:44.089 as he's been playing, he's been playing through little injuries 0:37:44.460 --> 0:37:47.299 for much of the season. Bone, this noon, as we 0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:49.060 get ready to do the Couch Potato Guide, the whole 0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.540 purpose on a Friday to tell you when the games 0:37:51.580 --> 0:37:53.840 are on, when the big games are on. so you 0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:55.810 can map it out in your mind. When will I 0:37:55.850 --> 0:37:58.069 hit the honey-do list? When will I tell my wife 0:37:58.130 --> 0:37:59.130 I have to be on the couch? 0:37:59.510 --> 0:38:01.950 All those good things. When will you tell your Maddie, 0:38:01.969 --> 0:38:06.060 not this weekend, I'm busy? Oh, man. I'll never tell 0:38:06.100 --> 0:38:06.419 her that. 0:38:06.460 --> 0:38:09.800 Yeah, not sure that happens. All right, so Friday night tonight. 0:38:10.620 --> 0:38:13.120 We've got college football, and I know Hornets game tonight. 0:38:13.440 --> 0:38:15.930 We've got college football and college basketball tonight, though. 0:38:15.950 --> 0:38:16.910 A lot of it. 0:38:17.030 --> 0:38:21.630 Florida State at Pitt in a little ACC battle tonight, Bone. 0:38:22.650 --> 0:38:25.029 Not much luster on this one with the directions these 0:38:25.050 --> 0:38:28.870 two schools teams have gone. 7 o'clock on ESPN. Could 0:38:28.910 --> 0:38:32.870 we have an upset alert situation, Bone, for Brett Bielema's 0:38:32.950 --> 0:38:36.050 fighting Illini at UCLA at 9 o'clock on Fox? 0:38:36.090 --> 0:38:36.930 Good one. Good one. 0:38:36.969 --> 0:38:37.089 No. 0:38:37.810 --> 0:38:38.410 You don't think so? 0:38:38.850 --> 0:38:41.770 I've thought UCLA a couple times here. May, now I'm 0:38:41.830 --> 0:38:44.060 on the other side of they're going to win this game. 0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:46.900 I can't have fathead pull off an upset here. I 0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:48.660 think it could be upset a little. Although Illinois is 0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:50.520 playing a lot better here recently. 0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:52.400 They are. They're 6-3 now. 0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:56.430 And that's when Brett Bielema pissed off Greg Sankey by saying, Man, 0:38:56.469 --> 0:39:00.870 if we're 6-3 and beat a fellow 5-3 team in 0:39:00.910 --> 0:39:02.590 the SEC, we'd be in the top 15. 0:39:02.590 --> 0:39:03.190 Shut up, Brett. 0:39:03.250 --> 0:39:07.070 And Sankey fired back. God, you've got to love college football. Houston, 0:39:07.090 --> 0:39:10.210 Colorado at 10-15 as well. Houston 14th in the rankings. 0:39:11.450 --> 0:39:13.250 I don't think a lot of us really think of 0:39:13.270 --> 0:39:14.930 them that way. They're just kind of hanging out there 0:39:14.950 --> 0:39:16.490 with not a whole lot to talk about. They're lingering 0:39:16.530 --> 0:39:18.770 in there, man. So college basketball tonight, a lot of 0:39:18.810 --> 0:39:25.550 local teams playing. You've got Georgia UNC tonight on ESPN2 0:39:25.590 --> 0:39:29.450 at 7. You've got Troy and NC State tonight at 0:39:29.450 --> 0:39:32.900 7 on the ESPN2. ACC Network. You have App State-Charlotte. 0:39:33.020 --> 0:39:34.840 Ooh, that's a good one. Yeah, Charlotte's got an interesting 0:39:34.860 --> 0:39:35.980 little weekend. I'm liking that game. 0:39:36.020 --> 0:39:39.970 Interesting little weekend for Charlotte Athletics. 7 o'clock ESPN Plus 0:39:40.330 --> 0:39:46.149 from Halton. And then SIUE at Duke, 8 o'clock. On 0:39:46.350 --> 0:39:47.130 the CW. 0:39:47.210 --> 0:39:51.090 I believe, Mac, that is the University of Southern Indiana Edwardsville, right? 0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:53.460 Or Southern Illinois, Edwardsville. 0:39:53.860 --> 0:39:56.219 Which one is it? Is it Indiana or Illinois? I 0:39:56.260 --> 0:39:59.540 know it's Edwardsville. I think it's Illinois. I think this may. 0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:00.879 Don't want to touch the money. 0:40:01.500 --> 0:40:05.600 This could be a bounce back spot for Duke. We've also, Matt, 0:40:05.620 --> 0:40:07.779 got a ton of national games on tonight, too, if 0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:12.790 that's your thing. Ohio State, UConn, 730 TNT. Virginia, Maryland, 0:40:13.170 --> 0:40:14.450 renewing that old series. 0:40:14.450 --> 0:40:15.510 8 p.m. Peacock. 0:40:15.910 --> 0:40:20.070 Arizona, Auburn at 9 on ESPN2. and also at 9, 0:40:20.070 --> 0:40:21.210 Seton Hall, Alabama. 0:40:21.489 --> 0:40:23.890 Dr. Quads, this is a night for you, baby, local 0:40:23.989 --> 0:40:24.470 and national. 0:40:25.530 --> 0:40:27.950 I'll be in Chapel Hill for this game for Carolina 0:40:27.969 --> 0:40:31.779 and Georgia. Yeah, Quads ain't following the rest of the 0:40:31.820 --> 0:40:32.600 nation anymore. 0:40:32.700 --> 0:40:36.900 We're losing Quads. You're not losing Quads. I'm just a 0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:38.839 lot of home games for Carolina. It takes me away 0:40:38.860 --> 0:40:40.800 from the National College basketball team. Quads is only working 0:40:40.820 --> 0:40:41.920 like one or two days a week right now. 0:40:41.930 --> 0:40:43.969 Yeah, because he's got home games in Chapel Hill, and 0:40:43.989 --> 0:40:46.109 then he's got road games at Maddie's family's house. 0:40:47.830 --> 0:40:48.489 Every other night. 0:40:48.810 --> 0:40:51.009 Saw him eating the Tupperware from the family yesterday when 0:40:51.030 --> 0:40:53.080 he came in here. They're eating food out of the Tupperware. 0:40:53.140 --> 0:40:54.180 Finny, is this true? 0:40:54.260 --> 0:40:57.439 And we are just completely just blowing up the couch 0:40:57.480 --> 0:41:00.549 potato guide. But is this true that you are now 0:41:00.610 --> 0:41:02.230 involved in their grocery shopping? 0:41:02.350 --> 0:41:05.390 Like they want to buy things for you? I've got 0:41:05.790 --> 0:41:10.160 my own snacks at the household. He is so into. 0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:10.760 Family, y'all. 0:41:11.219 --> 0:41:15.460 Is this not exciting? My own drinks, everything. Oh, my God. 0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:19.819 This is exciting. Man it. Could you tell them you 0:41:19.860 --> 0:41:21.100 like some local IPAs? 0:41:21.140 --> 0:41:22.739 I'll give you the names and you get them for me. 0:41:23.830 --> 0:41:25.469 I'll see what I can do, Mac. I might be 0:41:25.510 --> 0:41:28.210 frowned upon. Let's get to the football games. Oh, yeah. 0:41:28.250 --> 0:41:32.089 We got more stuff happening. All right. 0:41:32.110 --> 0:41:34.930 So the noon, the early slate of games tomorrow in 0:41:34.950 --> 0:41:40.470 college football is a Carolina's college football carnival. I don't know. 0:41:40.570 --> 0:41:43.399 How can I watch all of this at once? This 0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:45.740 is crazy. You're going to use my YouTube blog again. 0:41:45.780 --> 0:41:48.480 Yeah, but even then, I don't know how I pull 0:41:48.520 --> 0:41:49.000 this off. 0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:53.580 This is my eight-screen portion of the day. 0:41:53.739 --> 0:41:54.440 It's crazy. 0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:57.780 Duke at Miami, and they're big games, too. Duke at Miami, 0:41:57.840 --> 0:42:03.260 ABC at noon. Wake Forest at SMU, ESPN noon. Huge game. 0:42:04.020 --> 0:42:08.320 Georgia Tech are also at noon Syracuse NC State ACC 0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:10.140 Network I might make that one wait until about. 0:42:10.060 --> 0:42:11.820 Four o'clock I might watch that one later. 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:17.710 Georgia Tech at Clemson the West Bryant special CW at 0:42:17.710 --> 0:42:20.029 12 30 and then even throw this one in to 0:42:20.050 --> 0:42:24.590 the early window one o'clock ESPN plus ECU at Charlotte 0:42:25.450 --> 0:42:29.000 That is a ton of local teams playing simultaneously, man. 0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:32.200 Yeah, now a couple of them have bigger meaning than some, 0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:35.760 like Duke Miami and Wake Forest SMU, so you can 0:42:36.219 --> 0:42:38.830 put those on one screen and maybe side screen a 0:42:38.850 --> 0:42:41.250 couple of the other ones there, but that's a... That's 0:42:41.330 --> 0:42:44.150 a hell of an early window tomorrow for us. It's 0:42:44.170 --> 0:42:45.710 a lot going on, man. A lot going on. 0:42:45.770 --> 0:42:49.420 Alabama plays Vandy in that window on SEC Network 1245. 0:42:49.420 --> 0:42:52.279 Ohio State Northwestern is the Fox noon game. Throw those 0:42:52.340 --> 0:42:54.660 in as well. Then you get to the late afternoon 0:42:54.700 --> 0:42:56.959 slate as we give you your couch potato guide here. 0:42:57.400 --> 0:43:01.850 You've got USC-Indiana on CBS. This one's kind of juicy. 0:43:02.610 --> 0:43:04.469 Yeah, it is. Does Indiana play pissed off? 0:43:04.510 --> 0:43:07.170 Does Cignetti have them all pissed off after dropping five 0:43:07.210 --> 0:43:10.650 spots by not playing? USC is another team that's kind 0:43:10.690 --> 0:43:13.370 of hanging around the playoff race with two losses at 0:43:13.430 --> 0:43:19.239 number 18. Missouri goes to Georgia, 330 on ABC. You've 0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:22.540 got at 3 o'clock Tennessee, Texas A & M on 0:43:22.700 --> 0:43:27.319 ESPN as well. Michigan and Oregon as FS1 at 330. 0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:30.279 I bring this up, Bone, because these two coaches have 0:43:30.320 --> 0:43:31.219 traded barbs this week. 0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:34.310 This one's got a little juice. Yeah, a little juice. 0:43:34.390 --> 0:43:37.669 And Oregon, somehow, Matt, despite not being anything like we thought, 0:43:37.750 --> 0:43:40.730 is still hanging around here at number 16 with all 0:43:40.750 --> 0:43:42.350 in front of them to get to the playoffs. 0:43:42.430 --> 0:43:43.549 Oh, yeah, they all the way back in. 0:43:43.590 --> 0:43:47.129 They passed South Carolina this week as the highest-ranked three-loss team. 0:43:47.150 --> 0:43:49.020 I know, I know. That was, yeah, that was not... 0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:51.040 Good for Oregon, not good for the Gamecocks. 0:43:51.060 --> 0:43:53.080 Michigan, can you score like 17 points this week and 0:43:53.100 --> 0:43:55.080 maybe try to push them a little bit here, do something? 0:43:55.180 --> 0:43:57.680 Although it really doesn't matter because the Gamecocks have to 0:43:57.700 --> 0:43:58.200 beat Georgia. 0:43:58.219 --> 0:43:59.589 That's true. You know what I mean? 0:43:59.690 --> 0:44:01.370 If they beat Georgia, they're going to be right up 0:44:01.489 --> 0:44:03.350 near the playoff. I think they should be in the 0:44:03.370 --> 0:44:05.840 playoff if they win out and beat Georgia. But if 0:44:05.860 --> 0:44:07.379 they don't, it doesn't matter. 0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:10.100 Their number right now doesn't matter because if they beat Georgia, 0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:12.100 who knows how high that thing would go. They moved 0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:14.500 up four spots under beating A & M last week. 0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:15.080 That is true. 0:44:15.550 --> 0:44:18.870 A couple other things at nighttime. App State at 6 0:44:18.870 --> 0:44:26.390 o'clock at Marshall. That's ESPN +. Florida, Kentucky, 615 ESPN. Louisville, Carolina, 0:44:26.510 --> 0:44:28.960 a big game, a big chance for Carolina to get 0:44:29.000 --> 0:44:31.080 a big dub at home on ESPN2 at 7 o'clock. 0:44:32.860 --> 0:44:35.840 Lane Kiffin's last stand. They cannot lose another game or 0:44:35.860 --> 0:44:42.610 they are toast, Bone. They host Texas on ABC at 7.30. 0:44:42.610 --> 0:44:48.630 And then, Bone, your Gamecocks, 7.45, SEC Network at Arkansas. 0:44:48.710 --> 0:44:51.170 Don't you dare. Don't you dare. 0:44:51.550 --> 0:44:54.190 Sellers was questionable, by the way. God moved up the problem. 0:44:54.390 --> 0:44:57.589 They had a lot of injuries on the list. Harbor, Sellers. 0:44:58.090 --> 0:45:00.100 They had a lot of dudes on that list. Thompson, 0:45:00.200 --> 0:45:03.560 offensive line is out. So they're banged up, Mac. I 0:45:03.600 --> 0:45:08.020 believe this slate tomorrow, unreal early for us, and there's a. 0:45:08.020 --> 0:45:08.759 Ton at night. 0:45:08.800 --> 0:45:12.340 The afternoon, not necessarily as much, but it's a pretty 0:45:12.420 --> 0:45:15.900 balanced weekend. I think last weekend was the hyped-up weekend, 0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:17.420 the way college football operates. 0:45:17.739 --> 0:45:19.660 Watch this one, though. It'll be much better than last 0:45:19.700 --> 0:45:21.870 weekend was. This could be one of those that sneaks 0:45:21.969 --> 0:45:24.230 up on you. It's like, whoa, whoa, that was damn good. 0:45:24.790 --> 0:45:30.029 Texas Tech, Oklahoma State. This one at 930 on ESPN. 0:45:30.850 --> 0:45:34.930 This one could be 78 to 73. I mean, Texas 0:45:34.989 --> 0:45:39.310 Tech played the 53-48 game in the same time slot 0:45:39.350 --> 0:45:43.310 last week against West Virginia. This one could be insane, man. 0:45:43.450 --> 0:45:43.940 It really could be. 0:45:43.950 --> 0:45:47.469 And also tomorrow at 1, the second game for the 0:45:47.530 --> 0:45:51.740 Canes in Finland against the Seattle Kraken. So if that's 0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:55.260 your thing, Finland game for the Hurricanes, number two tomorrow, 0:45:55.260 --> 0:45:55.370 1 p.m. 0:45:56.469 --> 0:46:00.810 How about Ajo back in his home country? I was 0:46:01.170 --> 0:46:03.670 going to say balling out, but what are you? 0:46:03.690 --> 0:46:04.290 Pucking out? 0:46:04.330 --> 0:46:06.890 Yeah, are you pucking out when you play well in 0:46:06.980 --> 0:46:08.700 a hockey game? 0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:11.220 So Canes won that first matchup 4-1. 0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:15.600 And obviously, Max, Sunday 4-30, kind of an awkward time, 0:46:15.620 --> 0:46:19.339 but that is the Hornets' next game against the L.A. 0:46:19.380 --> 0:46:19.780 Clippers. 0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:22.630 So make note of that. It's a busy day of action. Hornets, 0:46:22.650 --> 0:46:27.770 excuse me, Panthers, Saints. Hornets pregame show, 3.30, then the 0:46:27.830 --> 0:46:29.930 Hornets after that. So we got a lot going on, Mac, 0:46:29.950 --> 0:46:33.790 this weekend from all the hoops action tonight to Sunday 0:46:33.850 --> 0:46:35.850 and the Hornets at the end of the afternoon. We 0:46:35.890 --> 0:46:38.950 got a very busy weekend, top to bottom here, Charlie. 0:46:38.989 --> 0:46:41.390 Big time, man. When we come back on the Mac 0:46:41.469 --> 0:46:45.490 and Bone show, matchups you love and matchups that worry 0:46:45.510 --> 0:46:51.490 you versus the Saints. We discuss Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. 0:46:51.880 --> 0:46:53.469 Willie P in the house.
