WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Hour 4: Ugly Win Not Good Enough? 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:19.920 He was a little mad at me. 0:00:21.180 --> 0:00:23.689 But he was gimpy. So I said to him. 0:00:23.700 --> 0:00:25.520 He goes, I'm going back in next play. 0:00:25.770 --> 0:00:26.550 I said, no, you're not. 0:00:26.829 --> 0:00:28.409 You'll go back in when I put you in. So 0:00:28.430 --> 0:00:31.610 we had a little discussion. And then he said, no, 0:00:31.650 --> 0:00:32.210 I'm going back. 0:00:32.250 --> 0:00:32.870 I'm fine. 0:00:32.970 --> 0:00:35.110 And I said, no, you're going to sit right here. 0:00:35.130 --> 0:00:36.750 And then I said, you know, I said. 0:00:36.770 --> 0:00:38.070 Have you ever heard of Wally Pipp? 0:00:40.550 --> 0:00:42.510 You ever heard of Wally Pipp? You have? 0:00:43.090 --> 0:00:43.490 Come on. 0:00:46.350 --> 0:00:47.089 Come on, Chapel. 0:00:47.850 --> 0:00:50.250 All right, so of course he hadn't. 0:00:50.090 --> 0:00:53.070 Heard of Wally Pip either. Probably, you know, Larry, have 0:00:53.090 --> 0:00:56.480 you heard of Wally Pip? The famous Wally Pip story? Okay, 0:00:56.500 --> 0:00:58.160 so you know why you hadn't heard of Wally Pip? 0:00:58.860 --> 0:01:01.360 Because he took a day off, all right, and they 0:01:01.380 --> 0:01:03.180 put this guy named Lou Gehrig in, I think. 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:04.820 You probably heard of him. 0:01:05.500 --> 0:01:06.260 Yeah, exactly. 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.080 And so that's what I told Tate. I said, so 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:09.120 I may never. 0:01:08.940 --> 0:01:10.250 Put you back in, all right? 0:01:10.810 --> 0:01:12.430 So we had a little back and forth about the 0:01:12.470 --> 0:01:16.000 Wally Pip story, and then we put him back in. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.280 Oh, God. Can't Dabo play Charleston Southern every week? He 0:01:21.310 --> 0:01:23.670 would be so much fun in these interviews. Lou Gehrig. 0:01:23.870 --> 0:01:27.010 Chapel Lou Gehrig, one of the original gotcha guys. He 0:01:27.270 --> 0:01:28.750 told Wally Pipp, I got your job. 0:01:29.330 --> 0:01:32.220 Oh, man. Chapel, you mean to tell me your pop 0:01:32.380 --> 0:01:35.580 Scott Fowler observer columnist didn't sit you down and teach 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.620 you the Wally Pipp Lou Gehrig story? Oh, my God. Anyway, 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.009 so that's Dabo having a good time after their route 0:01:43.050 --> 0:01:45.800 win over Charleston Southern. I have to be honest with you. 0:01:45.810 --> 0:01:47.570 I guess he got dinged up. Tate Reynolds third quarter, 0:01:47.590 --> 0:01:51.160 they put him back in. I watched the first half 0:01:51.220 --> 0:01:53.420 and probably like half of the third quarter and then realized, Bone, 0:01:53.460 --> 0:01:56.960 on my four-screen multi-view— that I steal from your YouTube TV, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:58.780 that I need to get that game off and get 0:01:58.820 --> 0:02:00.680 another game. You know what I mean? Like, there's other games. 0:02:00.700 --> 0:02:03.200 There's value. Like, SMU Virginia, I need to work in there. 0:02:03.540 --> 0:02:06.210 So anyway, I'm watching the first half of that game. 0:02:06.650 --> 0:02:08.610 I have never seen a team be up 34 to 0:02:08.650 --> 0:02:11.669 nothing and have a quarterback play so badly. I mean, 0:02:11.710 --> 0:02:14.790 Tate Reynolds is throwing passes all over the yard. So 0:02:14.850 --> 0:02:17.410 damn inaccurate, trying to get passes down. I was like, 0:02:17.490 --> 0:02:20.730 he looks terrible. Now, on the other side of things, 0:02:20.830 --> 0:02:23.110 I think they had like 77 total yards of offense, 0:02:23.169 --> 0:02:26.450 Charleston Southerners. So the defense was kind of in control. 0:02:26.470 --> 0:02:30.430 They have Virginia Tech at home Saturday night. 0:02:30.490 --> 0:02:34.280 Ooh, that's juicy. That's juicy. Virginia Tech bounced back and 0:02:34.290 --> 0:02:37.580 beat Georgia Tech. All right, so this was an absolute 0:02:37.620 --> 0:02:40.560 classic weekend. By the way, this is the type of 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.019 weekend of college football with five top seven teams losing, 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.230 Miami playing a double overtime thriller but winning and moving 0:02:47.310 --> 0:02:48.490 from three to number one. 0:02:48.830 --> 0:02:52.110 BYU jumped all the way from... Where were they at, Bone? 0:02:52.410 --> 0:02:54.169 They're all the way at two now. They were ten, right? 0:02:54.190 --> 0:02:57.290 Ten. Ten to two. I think they were ten. This 0:02:57.370 --> 0:03:01.090 is the weekend where I would point to that NIL 0:03:01.150 --> 0:03:04.510 makes the sport better. Yeah, you have all these headaches 0:03:04.550 --> 0:03:07.010 that are annoying in the court cases. That stuff's no good. 0:03:07.510 --> 0:03:10.790 But on the field, NIL has spread out the talent, 0:03:11.460 --> 0:03:14.019 and you just have so much more parity than we're 0:03:14.100 --> 0:03:17.340 used to having in a sport that has been so top-heavy, Bone. 0:03:17.780 --> 0:03:20.440 You see Auburn knock off a Georgia team that looked 0:03:20.460 --> 0:03:23.609 like the best team in the country against Alabama. Like, 0:03:23.690 --> 0:03:28.430 there's just... There's a parody about college football right now 0:03:28.770 --> 0:03:30.470 that I freaking love. And I think it was on 0:03:30.510 --> 0:03:34.579 DisplayBone on Saturday. Yeah, I thought Tennessee was in a 0:03:34.620 --> 0:03:35.920 bad spot against Bama. 0:03:35.940 --> 0:03:38.540 There was another one, yeah. I was wrong about that one. 0:03:39.300 --> 0:03:43.140 And I thought of all these teams making all this chaos... 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.210 I thought Miami and Georgia were going to put themselves 0:03:46.550 --> 0:03:50.050 above that having a loss because Miami plays in the ACC. Well, 0:03:50.070 --> 0:03:53.210 they almost had a loss, and Georgia had one. I 0:03:53.250 --> 0:03:55.850 thought Georgia was playing at a level that would avoid 0:03:55.870 --> 0:03:59.050 a regular season loss, but not in that conference. Any 0:03:59.090 --> 0:04:02.270 given Saturday right now in the SEC, and a lot 0:04:02.310 --> 0:04:04.990 of times the teams that are the highest entering the 0:04:05.030 --> 0:04:07.280 week end up suffering an L by the end of 0:04:07.290 --> 0:04:10.440 the next week. It's just a matter of who you 0:04:10.620 --> 0:04:11.900 are at that time and who. 0:04:11.780 --> 0:04:13.160 You're playing, basically. It's crazy. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.810 Missouri got sent back to earth after a couple weeks 0:04:15.910 --> 0:04:16.330 on a high. 0:04:16.350 --> 0:04:18.590 They did. Why do you want to mention that right now, Bo? 0:04:18.630 --> 0:04:19.849 I'm just using that as an example. Because you know 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.989 the P-man's listening. He's texting. But they're a prime example 0:04:24.029 --> 0:04:25.610 of a team that was getting hot and then to 0:04:26.130 --> 0:04:28.390 not even score a touchdown against Ole Miss was shocking. 0:04:28.450 --> 0:04:31.160 It's a drunk football season, especially in the SEC, where 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.800 everybody has a loss now. But it's upsets all over 0:04:34.820 --> 0:04:37.930 the place. It's mood swings all over the place. And 0:04:37.950 --> 0:04:40.630 it just makes for entertaining as all get out. It 0:04:40.710 --> 0:04:43.169 really does. And that's why it's like... I get why 0:04:43.210 --> 0:04:45.360 we're moving to 24. They've got to desperately try to 0:04:45.390 --> 0:04:47.080 find a way to pay the players, because God forbid 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.040 we pay the players. And maybe the administrators and coaches 0:04:50.060 --> 0:04:52.320 could take less money. No, that's not possible. So they've 0:04:52.339 --> 0:04:53.610 got to find a way to pay the players. I 0:04:53.620 --> 0:04:55.690 get it. But this sport right now, I just think 0:04:55.730 --> 0:04:57.990 in terms of on the field and the way it's run... 0:04:58.550 --> 0:05:01.130 I like the 12-team playoff a lot. I just like 0:05:01.170 --> 0:05:02.450 the way it is when you get it out of 0:05:02.470 --> 0:05:06.750 the courtroom's bone. I just think it's beautiful. I really do. 0:05:06.810 --> 0:05:09.690 How about Kentucky avoiding what I thought was a tough 0:05:09.740 --> 0:05:14.000 spot on Saturday? Going to Oklahoma. Oklahoma coming off the 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.000 big win at Texas. I thought Kentucky was due. for 0:05:18.060 --> 0:05:21.560 maybe a little humbling. That's not true. They go into Norman, 0:05:21.940 --> 0:05:25.000 and from the get-go, they're in control of that game. 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:30.250 Kentucky now goes 6-1. That is a legit SEC playoff contender, 0:05:30.510 --> 0:05:33.089 although they have tough games coming up. They'll probably lose 0:05:33.170 --> 0:05:35.289 a game or two more. But that first year by 0:05:35.330 --> 0:05:38.370 Will Stein, you're talking about National Coach of the Year candidate. 0:05:38.390 --> 0:05:40.510 That's one guy right there. Big time, big time. They 0:05:40.529 --> 0:05:44.299 were seven-point dogs at Oklahoma. I thought they were. Seven-point dogs. 0:05:44.580 --> 0:05:47.860 But guess who picked Kentucky in that game? Who's that? 0:05:48.310 --> 0:05:51.890 The guy at the sportsbook I was talking to. Okay, okay. No, no, no, 0:05:51.910 --> 0:05:53.789 trust me, it wasn't me. Bone, stop me if you've 0:05:53.810 --> 0:05:56.529 heard this before. Oklahoma turned the ball over four times, 0:05:56.589 --> 0:05:58.810 three of them by John Mateer. Like, stop me if 0:05:58.860 --> 0:06:01.380 you've heard that before. Like, that feels like that's the 0:06:01.420 --> 0:06:04.980 storyline of every loss Oklahoma has. And the thing I 0:06:05.020 --> 0:06:07.580 was surprised about with the Georgia loss, for two things. 0:06:07.990 --> 0:06:10.450 First of all, Byron Brown looked like Cam Newton against 0:06:10.470 --> 0:06:13.589 Georgia's defense. I mean, bone, George had a bunch of sacks. 0:06:13.610 --> 0:06:15.830 So this isn't even take, this is taking off sack 0:06:15.850 --> 0:06:17.990 yards out of his rush total. He still had a 0:06:18.010 --> 0:06:22.169 buck 25 rushing against them, but Gunner Stockton, the savvy 0:06:22.230 --> 0:06:26.120 veteran quarterback with the veteran looking hairline that I did 0:06:26.300 --> 0:06:29.219 not see that dude bone, turning it over three times 0:06:29.260 --> 0:06:32.020 the way he did. And he had the interceptions, and 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.039 Kirby went over on the sideline and said, you know, 0:06:34.060 --> 0:06:36.539 they said he was saying, you know, wipe that one away, right? 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.669 Let's just get out there and let's refocus. We're still 0:06:39.700 --> 0:06:42.510 in this. For him then, after the two interceptions, to 0:06:42.610 --> 0:06:45.050 fumble the ball to set up their game-winning field goal. 0:06:45.390 --> 0:06:47.810 And then how about, talk about beating yourself. How about 0:06:47.850 --> 0:06:49.670 the kid's dumb late hit? 0:06:50.390 --> 0:06:50.670 Oh, yeah. 0:06:50.690 --> 0:06:54.369 On Brown. Like, they just– Kirby said it after the game. 0:06:54.870 --> 0:06:57.930 He said, we beat ourselves, and that's our number one 0:06:57.970 --> 0:07:01.290 rule around here is not to. But they'll be– I mean, 0:07:01.310 --> 0:07:04.360 they'll be back. It's just– it's one– the SEC is crazy. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.789 I mean, there is no doubt in my mind, Bone– 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.840 Three lost, probably multiple three lost teams from the SEC 0:07:10.860 --> 0:07:12.980 are making the playoff because these teams are beating each 0:07:13.020 --> 0:07:13.400 other up. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.620 That includes Florida getting back on track. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.400 Yeah, Florida's good again, y'all. Beating Texas. Mack, I have 0:07:20.490 --> 0:07:21.670 a question. Back up QB. 0:07:22.030 --> 0:07:24.890 I have a question about Arch Manning, Mackers. We don't 0:07:24.910 --> 0:07:26.390 know the exact answer here, but it's more of a 0:07:26.390 --> 0:07:29.250 hypothetical or just throwing it out there type thing. Are 0:07:29.290 --> 0:07:30.330 we sure that he likes football? 0:07:31.190 --> 0:07:33.810 Why do you say likes football? I think you can ask, 0:07:33.890 --> 0:07:34.750 are we sure he's good? 0:07:34.830 --> 0:07:37.210 Well, it's a combo of both because I feel like 0:07:37.250 --> 0:07:40.300 I watch a guy that has the name Manning, but 0:07:40.340 --> 0:07:42.120 he's not good. And I don't know if there's a 0:07:42.220 --> 0:07:45.200 joy or he plays with the pressure because his last 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.000 name is Manning. 0:07:46.940 --> 0:07:49.520 Maybe pressure. He does nothing to wow me out there. 0:07:49.700 --> 0:07:52.810 Absolutely nothing. Maybe pressure. Where did the dual threat ability 0:07:52.850 --> 0:07:54.170 go that we heard so much about when he was 0:07:54.210 --> 0:07:57.110 younger that this guy is a Manning but can run? 0:07:57.210 --> 0:07:59.770 You'll see it in glimpses, but not enough. But where's 0:07:59.810 --> 0:08:00.950 the passing part of the Manning? 0:08:01.130 --> 0:08:04.680 Where's the good part of the Manning? 0:08:04.700 --> 0:08:07.560 You're asking questions about Arch. To me, that was a 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.110 loss that comes back to Sark. You're at home after 0:08:11.150 --> 0:08:14.910 a disappointing loss the week ago. You're double-digit favorites at 0:08:14.970 --> 0:08:17.680 home against a team with a backup quarterback. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.080 To me, Arch wasn't great, obviously. 0:08:21.100 --> 0:08:23.050 Well, his quarterback's not good. That's part of the problem. 0:08:23.090 --> 0:08:25.670 His run game, they can't run the ball. His O-line, 0:08:25.850 --> 0:08:29.870 they can't block. I agree with you. Sark's not getting 0:08:29.910 --> 0:08:31.840 a lot out of this offense at all. For all 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.500 the money they spent on all these players. I'm not 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.120 saying he needs to be fired now. They're not going 0:08:37.140 --> 0:08:38.660 to make the playoff this year, I don't think. 0:08:39.290 --> 0:08:42.730 In my opinion, Matt, with as much resources, the funds 0:08:42.750 --> 0:08:46.010 that they've put in that program on a year-on-year-out basis, 0:08:46.470 --> 0:08:47.770 next year he's coaching for his job. 0:08:48.290 --> 0:08:49.109 Point blank period. 0:08:49.150 --> 0:08:50.710 He probably is. He probably is. 0:08:50.730 --> 0:08:52.290 Because I'd like to remind you that at Texas there were. 0:08:52.210 --> 0:08:52.489 A lot of. 0:08:58.540 --> 0:09:01.140 Without Mac Brown, Daryl Royal, and Sark there. You know 0:09:01.179 --> 0:09:05.580 what I mean? Don't take it for granted. I've seen 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.780 a lot of teams lose games in Austin, Texas. Watch 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.980 this week, though. Texas has lost two in a row. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.780 Ole Miss is coming off a blowout at home with Missouri. 0:09:12.820 --> 0:09:14.700 So you think Texas wins? They now go to Austin 0:09:14.740 --> 0:09:16.880 and play Texas. Watch what happens now in that conference. 0:09:17.179 --> 0:09:18.960 Now Ole Miss won't show up, and Texas will show 0:09:19.020 --> 0:09:21.660 up this week. Just the way it's been, right? It's definitely, 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.510 you're right. If you try to figure out, people always 0:09:23.530 --> 0:09:27.530 try to figure out what's the most ACC result that's 0:09:27.550 --> 0:09:30.250 going to happen, right? That's very ACC, right? You think 0:09:30.270 --> 0:09:33.130 a team's good, they lose. In the SEC, it's, you know, 0:09:33.150 --> 0:09:35.010 a team looks good, just wait for them the next week. 0:09:35.809 --> 0:09:38.920 So that, I guess, Texas just doesn't look like a 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.960 great team, but they beat Ohio State, who won in Bloomington. Mac, 0:09:41.980 --> 0:09:42.320 you know what? 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:42.880 Conference. 0:09:42.900 --> 0:09:44.060 But they only won. 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.960 Because Nick Marsh couldn't get his feet in, Mac. Sneaky 0:09:45.980 --> 0:09:48.300 good conference, Mac. It's the Big 12 all of a sudden. 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.330 You mentioned BYU's ranking. Houston got a big win at 0:09:51.370 --> 0:09:55.370 home over Oklahoma State. Utah keeps on rolling along. Texas 0:09:55.410 --> 0:09:57.910 Tech is still in the top 10. All of a sudden, Mac, 0:09:57.950 --> 0:10:00.550 you look up and the Big 12 has 49ers. teams 0:10:00.590 --> 0:10:02.390 in the top 14, depending on what poll you're looking 0:10:02.410 --> 0:10:05.319 at right now. Big 12 is getting some more. Big 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.720 10 is going to get multiple bids, I think. Well, 0:10:06.740 --> 0:10:08.859 the BYU win was huge for their conference. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.980 It really was. But Utah, although they had a close one, 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.179 they had a scare against Colorado, only won by three. 0:10:14.540 --> 0:10:17.370 But the Big 12 is looking much better positioned than 0:10:17.410 --> 0:10:19.500 the ACC to get two bids in the playoffs. Yes, 0:10:19.510 --> 0:10:22.610 I agree. And that sucks as an ACC fan because 0:10:22.630 --> 0:10:25.310 that's kind of who I judge us against. Can one 0:10:25.350 --> 0:10:28.050 of the conferences get two? And maybe Wake Forest will 0:10:28.070 --> 0:10:30.780 keep blowing the brakes off people. I mean, it looks 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.920 like their offense gets better every time out. They keep 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.180 adding new people to the mix. The Foley kid looks 0:10:36.220 --> 0:10:38.330 like a great second receiver. They now got a tight 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.790 end and go over a hundred. So I maybe wakes 0:10:41.809 --> 0:10:44.550 the hope. But the Big 12 looks to be in 0:10:44.590 --> 0:10:48.310 that position. If y'all have any college football conclusions, we 0:10:48.330 --> 0:10:52.530 hadn't even really talked about Notre Dame, BYU, Catholics versus Mormons. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:57.880 Score one for the Mormons, 7-0-4, 5-7-0, 9-6-10. And then 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.939 we got to talk about the Florida State Miami because 0:11:03.100 --> 0:11:07.170 I'm glad Miami won. Malachi Toney is freaking ridiculous. Darian 0:11:07.230 --> 0:11:10.810 Mensah is ridiculous. But their defense bone got lit up 0:11:10.870 --> 0:11:13.579 by the Florida State offense. Ashton Daniels threw for well 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:18.400 over 300 on them. I felt like the refs, again, 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.319 Miami still might have won the game, Bone. Florida State, 0:11:20.340 --> 0:11:21.760 all they were trying to do was get a touchdown, 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.569 a two-point conversion just to extend the game. So even 0:11:24.610 --> 0:11:27.809 if they extended, Miami might still win. Those games were 0:11:27.830 --> 0:11:30.250 basically bang, bang, right, you know, at the ends of them. 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.979 I felt like Florida State and Notre Dame both got 0:11:34.020 --> 0:11:37.449 screwed by the officials, which is annoying because it's a 0:11:37.490 --> 0:11:39.430 storyline way too often in college football. 0:11:40.170 --> 0:11:45.189 Yeah, that holding call was so late. It looked like 0:11:45.230 --> 0:11:47.090 just a pancake block. It didn't look like a holding 0:11:47.110 --> 0:11:49.900 call to me. I thought it was ridiculous. That was so, 0:11:50.420 --> 0:11:52.780 like the ACC made the call and said, yeah, by 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.380 the way, let's throw that flag 20 seconds late. 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.540 That's the thing, is both of these games, Bone, with 0:11:59.700 --> 0:12:03.689 the officiating controversies, They're both done by ACC and Big 0:12:03.690 --> 0:12:07.130 12 officials. And by the way, why are Big 12 0:12:07.130 --> 0:12:09.290 officials doing that game? We can't get a conference that 0:12:09.309 --> 0:12:11.600 doesn't have anything to do with the game? To do 0:12:11.620 --> 0:12:13.680 the game? Yeah, that's a great question. Why in these 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:17.600 non-conference games, why do you have a conference that's involved 0:12:17.660 --> 0:12:19.940 in the game doing it? I think that's something that 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.579 they could change easily. Um, and, and, and both of 0:12:23.620 --> 0:12:27.420 these benefited the conferences who officials and replay officials did it. 0:12:27.460 --> 0:12:31.580 So then the conspiracy theories start up, but yeah, I, 0:12:31.940 --> 0:12:33.720 I don't even know for sure bone, if that was 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.640 an interception or was it a double catch? Cause if 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.979 it's a double catch on the second Hail Mary, that's 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.199 supposed to be a touchdown. Again, Miami might still win, 0:12:40.820 --> 0:12:43.400 but it's just, I felt bad for Florida state, even 0:12:43.420 --> 0:12:46.580 though I wanted Miami to win for ACC purposes. Um, 0:12:46.620 --> 0:12:49.939 the Notre Dame job game, Notre Dame job. That's pretty 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.140 much what it was. First of all, I want to 0:12:53.179 --> 0:12:55.780 say this to my fellow Golden Dome haters. Was that 0:12:55.820 --> 0:12:58.090 not a hilarious way to watch them lose? I mean, 0:12:58.130 --> 0:13:02.170 touchdown Jesus, Bone. Touchdown Jesus wouldn't let that happen at home. 0:13:03.570 --> 0:13:07.650 But I find it amusing and funny because their big 0:13:07.710 --> 0:13:11.230 mantra this year, Bone, leave no doubt. I think you 0:13:11.250 --> 0:13:11.750 left some doubt. 0:13:12.250 --> 0:13:15.780 You had to scramble it to the end. 0:13:15.820 --> 0:13:17.619 You left it there in Provo. And you left it 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:22.570 into the officials' hands. But... Some of these screw jobs 0:13:22.650 --> 0:13:27.360 in college football lately are atrocious. And I truly wonder, 0:13:27.540 --> 0:13:31.120 do the referees ever pay a price? Like, it's very 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.610 rarely you hear that. There should be announcements of suspensions. 0:13:36.130 --> 0:13:39.390 like they're firing yeah fire them too but at least 0:13:39.470 --> 0:13:42.250 a suspension at least i'll start there fitty suspension how 0:13:42.270 --> 0:13:44.690 about you dr pay or something like that because there's 0:13:44.750 --> 0:13:46.650 a ton of money on the line bone in college 0:13:46.670 --> 0:13:49.199 football there's coaches jobs on the line in college football 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.839 and it happens every week where someone can't read a 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.320 clock you know every week they couldn't spot the ball 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.080 in the oregon who was that game oregon ucla game 0:13:59.420 --> 0:14:02.630 couldn't spot the damn ball right on a two-point try Like, 0:14:02.790 --> 0:14:05.949 it's ridiculous. So, Notre Dame got screwed. Was Golden Bone 0:14:06.030 --> 0:14:09.819 upset at Notre Dame getting screwed, Boney? Nope, I didn't care. 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.520 Why would I care? I thought you had a partial, like, 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:14.400 Notre Dame affinity. 0:14:14.420 --> 0:14:16.939 But I don't, like, I don't get worked up over, like, 0:14:17.220 --> 0:14:19.140 I just, I respect them. I used to root for them, 0:14:19.180 --> 0:14:21.450 so I don't really root against them. I was wanting 0:14:21.470 --> 0:14:24.770 them to win, but I don't sit there and get 0:14:24.810 --> 0:14:25.750 all over my fields. 0:14:25.790 --> 0:14:28.190 Plus, I was... sitting in the dark crying because a 0:14:28.230 --> 0:14:31.390 Duke lost already earlier in the day. Were you on 0:14:31.430 --> 0:14:34.860 the Smoke Ludwig, Golden Domers, ESPN, and the refs are 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.180 out to get Notre Dame text. 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.660 Line on Saturday night? Smoke was a vibe on Saturday night. Mack, 0:14:39.700 --> 0:14:42.820 want to give a shout out to Jesse Wigrete. He 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:48.560 is the freshman 5'10 wide receiver from Oregon State who's 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.650 starting to get some low-end Heisman buzz there. I don't 0:14:52.670 --> 0:14:54.410 think he's going to win it, but there's starting to 0:14:54.430 --> 0:14:57.570 be some chatter based off the numbers. As a freshman, Mac, 0:14:58.090 --> 0:15:02.989 he's on pace for over 2,000 yards and 28 touchdowns 0:15:03.010 --> 0:15:06.150 for the Beavers. As a 5'10 wide out young kid, 0:15:06.450 --> 0:15:11.540 his nickname is the problem kid. Jeremy Problem Kid LaGree, 0:15:11.580 --> 0:15:14.100 or excuse me, Jesse Problem Kid LaGree. 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.390 How about that? And my question is, how much money 0:15:17.430 --> 0:15:19.050 is he going to get into Portal next year? What 0:15:19.070 --> 0:15:22.030 schools is he transferring to? That's what Spoonie's asking. Where's 0:15:22.070 --> 0:15:24.300 he going to transfer to? That feels like Miami, doesn't it? 0:15:24.790 --> 0:15:26.800 This dude said, Mac, I would like you to rank 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:33.859 the Notre Dame Shaftings. Was it the pass interference not 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.650 called or was it the one second on the clock 0:15:36.870 --> 0:15:41.550 that they just ignore ignored? I think the replay officials, 0:15:42.470 --> 0:15:45.690 you know, pass interference is a judgment call, although that 0:15:45.770 --> 0:15:49.030 one felt pretty blatant. He had both arms out, not 0:15:49.070 --> 0:15:50.250 letting the dude get to the football. I think it's 0:15:50.290 --> 0:15:51.640 also unfair. That felt pretty blatant. 0:15:51.820 --> 0:15:53.780 I think it's unfair they made Notre Dame play such 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.280 a highly ranked team. But how do they? Where's Herbstreet 0:15:57.300 --> 0:15:57.980 when we need him? 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.710 Call him that game. Can we play the Herbstreet? Herbstreet, yeah. 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:03.530 He was in the booth thinking that Notre Dame needed 0:16:03.550 --> 0:16:05.860 a field goal to tie the game. How about that one? 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.380 That was weird. Hey, they're trying to win this in overtime. Yeah, 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.990 because the only alternative is a win in regulation. The 0:16:11.010 --> 0:16:12.830 only alternative is they lose in a regulation, Kirk. A 0:16:12.850 --> 0:16:15.490 field goal makes them lose by one. But anyway, I 0:16:17.350 --> 0:16:19.160 think the fact that they're sitting there in the replay 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.560 booth and no one notices a second, I think is worse. 0:16:23.370 --> 0:16:25.690 I have to be honest. It's almost like, what are you, 0:16:25.750 --> 0:16:28.650 what are you, like, you talk about firings, Fetty? How 0:16:28.670 --> 0:16:30.430 about the replay? The pass interference kind of felt like 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:31.430 hand fighting a little bit. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.600 I thought it was P.I. I thought it was definite P.I. 0:16:33.740 --> 0:16:35.600 I leaned that way, but I could see why they 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.260 wouldn't call that one. But it's a judgment call, right? 0:16:37.300 --> 0:16:38.800 And you're like, oh, so much is on the line, 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.800 that sort of thing. In the replay booth, how do 0:16:41.820 --> 0:16:43.380 you not notice the seconds left? What are you doing 0:16:43.420 --> 0:16:43.680 up there? 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.700 Scratching your rear end? Like, seriously, what on earth are 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.420 you doing? Getting ready to hit the Provo nightlife? Like, 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.350 I mean, that's just, that's unexplainable. Were you afraid to 0:16:53.430 --> 0:16:55.990 tell the kids to get the hell off the field 0:16:56.050 --> 0:16:57.450 or something? Like, I just don't understand. 0:16:57.510 --> 0:16:59.670 And it also makes you wonder how many games in 0:16:59.690 --> 0:17:01.770 the past have been impacted and we just didn't pay 0:17:01.810 --> 0:17:04.210 this close attention to it. But now it's been brought 0:17:04.250 --> 0:17:05.909 to our attention because how Michigan was able to come 0:17:05.950 --> 0:17:07.020 back and win in week one. 0:17:07.450 --> 0:17:09.920 Like Pablo Torre, this is your next investigation. 0:17:10.690 --> 0:17:13.929 Find out how many games referees have screwed teams at 0:17:13.970 --> 0:17:15.540 a time because they can't count. 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.520 It was like Michigan crap all over again, man. It's just, 0:17:19.580 --> 0:17:23.720 it's unbelievable. Yes. Counting is fundamental. Do we need to get, yeah, 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.619 do we need to put some Sesame Street on with 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.310 the count to help you all out? And the thing is, Bone, 0:17:28.330 --> 0:17:34.810 the conspiracy theories come so naturally because they're Big 12 referees. Oh, yeah, 0:17:34.869 --> 0:17:39.040 it's built in. It's built in, yes. Did the replay 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.200 crew in that booth say, shoot, there's a second left? 0:17:42.609 --> 0:17:44.070 There was a second left when the ball hit the ground. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.270 but I don't think anybody's going to notice. Look, everybody's 0:17:47.310 --> 0:17:49.109 on the field. Should we just let it go? That 0:17:49.250 --> 0:17:51.890 makes me wonder if that was the conversation. 0:17:52.190 --> 0:17:54.669 All the stuff we're officiating, we should hear what's going on, 0:17:54.690 --> 0:17:57.650 like the ACC and the Big 12 does. It should 0:17:57.710 --> 0:18:00.530 all be out there publicly of what we hear. All stuff, 0:18:00.590 --> 0:18:02.209 all across, all college football. 0:18:02.250 --> 0:18:07.810 Yeah, yeah. Although you have the ACC crew, and I'll applaud, 0:18:07.830 --> 0:18:10.350 like you're saying, that they do this, but they're talking 0:18:10.470 --> 0:18:12.600 through the Deuce Robinson, like what might have been a 0:18:12.619 --> 0:18:15.879 double catch. And I'm like, they're not acknowledging that the 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:17.520 wide receiver also had his hands on the ball the 0:18:17.540 --> 0:18:19.060 whole time. Yeah, that was kind of weird. They are saying, hey, 0:18:19.100 --> 0:18:22.880 it's in the stomach of the defender, you know? Anyway, 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:24.960 I don't know, man. Regardless of whether or not we're 0:18:24.980 --> 0:18:27.760 bitching about the refs, man, what a freaking weekend of 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.560 drunk college football drama. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.880 When we come back, should the ugliness of the wind 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.500 bother Panther fans today? Sports Radio 92.7 WFNZ. 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.300 Yeah, Coach just said that in front of all of us. 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.460 There's no such thing as ugly win. Do we know 0:18:55.500 --> 0:18:57.320 that there's tons of stuff for us to go back 0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.960 and clean up, stuff for us to improve on, stuff 0:18:59.980 --> 0:19:01.830 for us to look in the mirror tomorrow when we 0:19:01.850 --> 0:19:04.530 get back to work, 100%. But, you know, a win's 0:19:04.570 --> 0:19:06.790 a win. In this league, you can't take that for granted. 0:19:07.490 --> 0:19:09.609 You know, we found a way. That's always the most 0:19:09.650 --> 0:19:13.030 important thing. And it's always more fun cleaning stuff up 0:19:13.090 --> 0:19:15.679 on the winning end. But that doesn't take the urgency 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.080 away from having to make sure that we get things 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:19.919 corrected and that we're better in the stuff we need 0:19:19.940 --> 0:19:20.700 to improve on next week. 0:19:24.369 --> 0:19:26.650 There it is. That's Bryce Young. Is that good enough 0:19:26.670 --> 0:19:30.490 for some of you nitpicking texters out there? I want 0:19:30.530 --> 0:19:35.760 to talk about the win, and the win was 149 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:40.660 penalty yards. I can be excited about that one. Bryce Young, 0:19:40.700 --> 0:19:44.090 barely 50% completion. These are some of the things that 0:19:44.109 --> 0:19:46.310 have brought up today. Now, I do want to acknowledge, Bone, 0:19:46.450 --> 0:19:49.710 it's a very small minority of fans. It was enough 0:19:49.730 --> 0:19:53.400 to get Fitty screaming at them earlier, though. And each 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.560 hour we kind of just mention it and like two 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.210 or three more nitpickers will show up. 0:19:57.940 --> 0:20:00.200 When did we become... First of all, it's the NFL. 0:20:00.220 --> 0:20:01.920 You take your win, you move to the next tee box. 0:20:01.980 --> 0:20:05.020 Look at the Rams. The Rams are 2-4, right? But 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.640 when did the Panthers specifically, Bone, become a team that 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:12.620 we hold to a standard in 2026 that you must 0:20:12.700 --> 0:20:16.859 blow out a team like Philadelphia on the road? I 0:20:16.900 --> 0:20:20.160 love the fact that they made all those mistakes but 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:23.240 found a way to overcome it. To me, it shows 0:20:23.420 --> 0:20:26.449 something because I do believe... There are times in the 0:20:26.470 --> 0:20:29.280 past where maybe they wouldn't have won a game like that. 0:20:30.410 --> 0:20:32.170 A couple weeks ago, they didn't win an ugly game 0:20:32.210 --> 0:20:32.910 against Cleveland. 0:20:33.530 --> 0:20:34.109 That's true. 0:20:34.150 --> 0:20:37.540 They're a team in a franchise that's learning how to 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.300 win again, how to close games, how to win on 0:20:40.340 --> 0:20:42.360 the road when you're the favorite and the other team 0:20:42.420 --> 0:20:45.859 is banged up, and that is a game you should win. 0:20:46.220 --> 0:20:47.260 They did that yesterday. 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.460 We're not in a spot here like the 2015 Panthers 0:20:50.500 --> 0:20:53.720 where we expect to go in there to a road 0:20:53.740 --> 0:20:57.900 venue and win with style points, 31-10. Hopefully that comes 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:01.830 along the way. But right now, it's about getting wins. 0:21:01.869 --> 0:21:04.730 And I think getting wins in different ways is important, 0:21:04.750 --> 0:21:08.030 whether it's blowing out Atlanta or going in winning a tough, 0:21:08.090 --> 0:21:12.369 ugly game. Winning in different ways is vitally important to 0:21:12.390 --> 0:21:15.810 the future success to find the consistency that we want 0:21:15.850 --> 0:21:18.370 this franchise to have. Because every week is different this week. 0:21:18.650 --> 0:21:20.170 You're not going to be the same every week. 0:21:20.210 --> 0:21:21.710 Here's the thing, and I don't know if it's the 0:21:21.750 --> 0:21:25.260 same fans that are doing this that are lamenting how 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:28.720 ugly the win was and all that stuff, but how 0:21:28.740 --> 0:21:31.590 can we be a fan base bone that on Friday 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:34.649 did the paranoid Panther fan thing? Oh my God, I'm 0:21:34.670 --> 0:21:36.909 worried about this one. Mack and Bone are at the 0:21:36.930 --> 0:21:39.670 sports book. They're going to ruin everything. Guess what? Your 0:21:39.690 --> 0:21:42.730 boys didn't ruin it, huh? We helped out. These are 0:21:42.750 --> 0:21:45.730 the games we lose when we should win. We can't 0:21:45.770 --> 0:21:47.800 win two in a row. Like all that talk. How 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:49.340 can we do all that? Well, they can't win three 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.700 in a row. How can we do all that talk, Bone? 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:54.639 And then when we do win by 11 points on 0:21:54.660 --> 0:21:59.200 the road, despite a franchise high 13 penalties for 149 yards, well, 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.199 then you're like, that wasn't good enough. Like, which one 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:04.490 are we? Are we the ones that are like, woe 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.600 is us, they're going to let us down again? Like, 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:09.679 how can you be that, but 11 points on the 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:14.080 road's not good enough? And by the way, a lot 0:22:14.100 --> 0:22:17.189 of you have pointed out, if Dave Canales wasn't the 0:22:17.230 --> 0:22:20.570 kindest man in coaching, they could have ran that football 0:22:20.609 --> 0:22:23.190 again and scored and made it an 18-point margin of victory. 0:22:23.530 --> 0:22:25.969 And how many points, Bone, were taken away because of penalties? 0:22:26.390 --> 0:22:31.840 I know Rob Hunt's the one ineligible man downfield penalty. 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:33.900 I have a very strong feeling that took some points away. 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:35.470 We were going to be in the red zone after 0:22:35.490 --> 0:22:38.760 that deep ball to Mitchell Evans. So I feel pretty 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:41.060 strongly that's going to be points of some sort. So 0:22:41.460 --> 0:22:44.200 how many points were taken away because we lost tons 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:46.810 of field position on a great return? So to me, 0:22:47.070 --> 0:22:49.390 I love the fact that we can make all those mistakes, 0:22:49.690 --> 0:22:52.190 hurt ourselves, and still find a way to win a 0:22:52.210 --> 0:22:54.530 game on the road. I love the fact that Jiro 0:22:54.570 --> 0:22:59.550 Avero sees that third-time starter at quarterback, sees his backups 0:22:59.609 --> 0:23:01.729 playing a corner, and says, I'm going to blitz the 0:23:01.910 --> 0:23:05.430 ever-living crap out of that dude. Like, I absolutely love that. 0:23:05.510 --> 0:23:07.370 And we should celebrate that stuff, man. 0:23:07.550 --> 0:23:10.470 Rob Hunt needs a beeper or a buzzer in his 0:23:10.510 --> 0:23:12.020 helmet when he starts to wander too far. 0:23:12.380 --> 0:23:15.760 Like an electrical fence type thing. Bang. He gets zapped. 0:23:15.780 --> 0:23:16.480 He comes on back. 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.320 I told you in the second hour, he's wandering like 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:20.600 my old uncle Augie used to do. 0:23:20.619 --> 0:23:22.100 Right through the yard. Come back. 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:26.660 You're going too far, Augie. I mean, that's three times 0:23:26.700 --> 0:23:28.570 this year, Mac. He's just wandering down the field. Three 0:23:28.609 --> 0:23:31.010 times in the last two games. He said he put 0:23:31.050 --> 0:23:32.350 his hand up for a pass at one point. 0:23:32.350 --> 0:23:38.149 704 number says, let's see here. What happened to Rob Hunt, y'all? 0:23:38.230 --> 0:23:40.709 I'm not a whiny winner. I'm happy we won, but 0:23:40.770 --> 0:23:43.600 is he okay? Yeah, he went pretty bad on a 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.840 run block also. I didn't think it was a horrible 0:23:46.859 --> 0:23:48.920 game for him all around. I thought our O-line played 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:52.940 pretty good, Bone, in general. I think it was PFF's 0:23:52.980 --> 0:23:56.670 initial number was 28% pressure allowed, which is probably down 0:23:56.710 --> 0:24:00.149 about 10% from what we're usually allowing. Run blocking, I 0:24:00.170 --> 0:24:03.370 thought got better in the second half, obviously, when we 0:24:03.430 --> 0:24:05.929 committed to it. And then Chuba, I don't know how 0:24:05.950 --> 0:24:09.560 many yards after contact, but Chuba was a grinder like 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.139 he always is. The tight ends were mauling people in 0:24:12.180 --> 0:24:14.919 the run game. Tommy Tremble had a block on the 0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:17.939 Chuba fourth and one run that he broke. And it 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:22.010 was just, it was just, It was a felony, probably 0:24:22.050 --> 0:24:24.710 a 48-states bone. Luckily, though, in the city of Philadelphia, 0:24:25.770 --> 0:24:28.530 it's not. That's just a little brotherly love in the 0:24:28.590 --> 0:24:30.490 city of Philadelphia. They just call that Sunday, getting their 0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:30.780 ass kicked. 0:24:30.820 --> 0:24:35.960 I have the updated– this is– I'm at a website, Max, 0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:39.219 check it out, called playoffstatus.com, where you can check out 0:24:39.260 --> 0:24:41.619 the percentage chances. You've probably been there before. Oh, we 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:45.160 do it every year. I didn't know it was playoffstatus.com. 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:46.889 That's one of them. There's many. 0:24:46.970 --> 0:24:49.350 The Panthers right now are at 65% chance to make 0:24:49.369 --> 0:24:51.109 the playoffs. 35% chance to advance past one game. 16% 0:24:51.109 --> 0:25:01.129 chance at the conference championship. and give me that 8% 0:25:01.130 --> 0:25:02.370 chance to make the Super Bowl. 0:25:02.510 --> 0:25:04.600 How about that, baby? How about that? Don't let us 0:25:04.630 --> 0:25:08.580 have good chances. I'm telling you, I'm watching this team. 0:25:08.619 --> 0:25:11.260 Now, Bone— Above Seattle, by the way, in the Rams 0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:13.500 for now, playoff chances here. 0:25:13.540 --> 0:25:16.199 We're up a game and a half now. We're up 0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:19.560 a game and a half. Bone Man was close to 0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:23.800 going lock city on the division. Finney brought up three games. 0:25:23.940 --> 0:25:25.659 What was it? Three games galore. We're going to win 0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:27.520 the division by three games or more. What was your 0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:29.780 own thing? I don't know if I want to get 0:25:29.820 --> 0:25:33.159 that frisky, but can y'all not see the potential of 0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:37.119 this team as our division keeps floundering Falcons loose. 0:25:37.180 --> 0:25:38.990 And now we're a game and a half over Falcon Saints. 0:25:39.090 --> 0:25:41.290 Saints did come back and win and then come back 0:25:41.310 --> 0:25:45.310 and then hold off to win. This team's starting to 0:25:45.330 --> 0:25:49.780 get healthier. Wait until we get the corners back. The defense, Bone, 0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.680 the way the defense has played ever since the Bears game. Now, granted, 0:25:52.700 --> 0:25:55.320 their stats, Bone, are not going to be fully recovered 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:58.180 from the Bears game for a while now, but they 0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:02.570 continue to lock teams down. The run defense, they're giving up, Bone, 0:26:02.570 --> 0:26:05.210 40 yards rushing per game in the last two weeks. 0:26:05.230 --> 0:26:08.110 That includes the game against Jameer Gibbs. Oh, yeah. Like, 0:26:08.150 --> 0:26:11.930 they are getting after it. And Averro's top five blitz 0:26:11.950 --> 0:26:14.400 are in the league right now. They've shut down Bijon, Gibbs, 0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:16.440 and Barkley. He didn't do anything yesterday. 0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:18.700 Mack, speaking of that. 0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:21.439 He looked miserable yesterday, by the way, watching that crap. 0:26:21.460 --> 0:26:25.100 Haven't seen him look like that since the Giants years. Mack, 0:26:25.160 --> 0:26:27.679 we have a 3-3-6 number that says, you guys are 0:26:27.740 --> 0:26:31.550 overlooking why some fans are praising this win. It's because 0:26:31.590 --> 0:26:33.889 the Eagles are so banged up, we should have blown 0:26:33.910 --> 0:26:34.650 them out by more. 0:26:35.210 --> 0:26:38.209 I think we get what y'all are saying. Was that 0:26:38.250 --> 0:26:41.250 Magic Johnson texting it? I mean, I get what you're saying, 0:26:41.710 --> 0:26:44.590 but it's like we won by double digits in the end. 0:26:45.230 --> 0:26:48.170 It's an NFL football game where anything truly can happen. 0:26:48.190 --> 0:26:50.380 What is the number seven backup quarterbacks that won games 0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:53.580 this year? We made that offense look like we should 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:55.919 make that offense look. Will Lee, how are you not 0:26:55.940 --> 0:26:59.000 excited about Will Lee? Zaki Wheatley's another guy. Makes the 0:26:59.020 --> 0:27:01.820 big pass break up bone on fourth down. This kid, 0:27:01.859 --> 0:27:05.240 by the way, has taken away ransom snaps. Ransom only 0:27:05.260 --> 0:27:07.670 played one snap yesterday. He's one of the highest-graded rookies 0:27:07.710 --> 0:27:09.790 in the league. Wheatley played like 40. Yeah, one of 0:27:09.810 --> 0:27:13.930 the highest-graded, for what it's worth, defensive rookies. That's my thing, 0:27:13.990 --> 0:27:16.070 is there's just a lot to be excited about. Idzik, 0:27:16.750 --> 0:27:19.520 I mean, we are always all over our offensive coordinator, 0:27:19.540 --> 0:27:22.790 whoever it is. Where's the praise for some of this stuff? 0:27:22.890 --> 0:27:25.570 It's extraordinary. How about Coker out of the backfield? 0:27:25.950 --> 0:27:30.050 Third and eight. You're backed up in a tenuous moment 0:27:30.070 --> 0:27:32.510 of the game. You're up by six and you throw 0:27:32.570 --> 0:27:35.210 Coker in the backfield with a great play design of 0:27:35.290 --> 0:27:37.929 all the times to do it. You just put your 0:27:37.950 --> 0:27:39.389 stones out there and said, look what I'm working with. 0:27:39.410 --> 0:27:41.540 Look at that minute. Created a mismatch and Coker put 0:27:41.580 --> 0:27:44.040 a move on Zach Ballin, man. And how about the 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:48.030 creating of the mismatch for T-Mac in the slot against Makuba? Um, 0:27:48.109 --> 0:27:51.409 the former Clemson safety, uh, Ross Tucker walked you through it. 0:27:51.430 --> 0:27:53.810 They motioned Metchie over. He went all the way outside. 0:27:54.170 --> 0:27:56.070 They knew the safety would jump or the corner would 0:27:56.090 --> 0:27:59.050 jump out with him. So they had TMAC on safety 0:27:59.130 --> 0:28:02.900 corner route, 18 yards. Like it's just the two touchdowns 0:28:02.940 --> 0:28:07.160 to me were scheme touchdowns to tremble the, the, the blocking, 0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:07.960 the delay look. 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:10.520 Okay. I'm going to block. No, I'm not blocking. And 0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:14.710 I just fooled you touchdown. The, um, the little throwback-type 0:28:14.750 --> 0:28:19.169 play bone off the play-action kind of semi-boot. Like, I 0:28:19.190 --> 0:28:23.960 just thought Idzik was in his bag of goodies yesterday, baby. 0:28:23.980 --> 0:28:29.280 Mack, your guy Amit, your dear friend, he's a Panther fan, right? 0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:32.940 Are you back to Washington fan this week, Amit? I 0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:35.700 can't keep track, baby. Remember, this is a Panther fan. 0:28:35.740 --> 0:28:40.650 Here's what he says. On the text line, 704-570-9610. You 0:28:40.690 --> 0:28:43.230 got to talk about flags on both sides, Homer Mack. 0:28:43.710 --> 0:28:46.640 Panthers got their first TD because they got a new 0:28:46.700 --> 0:28:49.280 set of downs after a Phantom third down penalty on 0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:52.930 the Eagles secondary. This is a Panther fan who wants you, Mac, 0:28:53.330 --> 0:28:55.750 to be fair that the refereeing was bad on both sides. 0:28:55.770 --> 0:28:57.989 Phantom. I don't remember what was the play. But this 0:28:58.050 --> 0:28:58.470 is a fan. 0:28:58.610 --> 0:29:01.410 What fan is like, Mac, you're not being fair to 0:29:01.430 --> 0:29:03.230 the calls that our team got yesterday? 0:29:03.250 --> 0:29:04.730 Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you're a fan. 0:29:05.410 --> 0:29:07.580 I don't know. You just might be texting. By the way, 0:29:07.620 --> 0:29:10.160 your Washington team plays tonight a bit, so go switch 0:29:10.220 --> 0:29:12.400 your gear out there. Hey, man, your heels won, baby. 0:29:12.420 --> 0:29:16.220 Your heels are getting it going. What was the P.I.? Listen, 0:29:16.260 --> 0:29:18.459 we did get a third down pass interference. There's no 0:29:18.500 --> 0:29:20.640 doubt about it. We did get help from them on 0:29:20.660 --> 0:29:23.360 that drive. We also got two touchdowns were set up 0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:27.340 by short fields as well off either their bad punt 0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:28.610 when a dude hit it with his ankle. 0:29:29.930 --> 0:29:32.150 That was that drive. And then in the second half, 0:29:32.170 --> 0:29:34.610 we had the block punt. Shout out Trey Tyus on 0:29:34.650 --> 0:29:36.850 that play. So, yeah, we did have a couple of 0:29:36.870 --> 0:29:37.370 short fields. 0:29:37.380 --> 0:29:38.800 Or whatever yeah i just don't know what is i 0:29:38.860 --> 0:29:41.420 don't know what his point is like you're a fan 0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:44.040 that just wants to point out that we're not really 0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:47.270 good is that what your whole thing is how how 0:29:47.350 --> 0:29:50.310 is that any fun way to live like finney said 0:29:50.370 --> 0:29:53.010 it earlier fit when you were screaming about the fans 0:29:53.050 --> 0:29:55.790 that were nitpicking and saying dude We should have taken 0:29:55.830 --> 0:29:58.930 care of that Eagle team or whatever, right? Like, we 0:29:58.970 --> 0:30:01.469 wait all year for football. We claim to love football. 0:30:01.890 --> 0:30:04.510 If you claim to love the Panthers, why do you 0:30:04.530 --> 0:30:07.350 want to be miserable after wins, after what we've been 0:30:07.370 --> 0:30:08.540 through over the last decade? 0:30:08.670 --> 0:30:10.570 It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, Mac. 0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:12.560 It's just crazy. Just a different way of fanning than 0:30:12.580 --> 0:30:16.040 my way of fanning. My way of fanning is pom-poms, rah-rah, sis-coon-bah. 0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:18.380 Amit is getting drilled on the text line right now. Oh, 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:19.680 he is now. Uh-oh. 0:30:19.700 --> 0:30:20.050 Uh-oh, Amit. 0:30:20.070 --> 0:30:21.870 Pandor Bo said he's a sad little man. 0:30:21.890 --> 0:30:22.170 Ha-ha. 0:30:23.070 --> 0:30:26.170 It's just a strange way to fan. It makes you wonder. Oh, 0:30:26.170 --> 0:30:28.450 good morning, Monday. How can I not have a great 0:30:28.470 --> 0:30:31.090 day today? Yeah, how can I annoy Mac and Boney? 0:30:31.110 --> 0:30:33.170 We fell for it. We might have fallen into the 0:30:33.210 --> 0:30:34.020 trap door, Boney. 0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:37.720 I just think it matters how it looks in certain sports. 0:30:37.740 --> 0:30:41.020 Like college football, I think style points do matter. 0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:42.240 You're trying to impress a committee. 0:30:42.260 --> 0:30:43.340 Yeah, there's no committee here, man. 0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.960 In college basketball, I want my team to look a 0:30:46.010 --> 0:30:49.310 certain way in certain situations. In the NFL, it's just 0:30:49.670 --> 0:30:52.770 score more points than the opponent. no matter which way 0:30:53.310 --> 0:30:55.430 you have to do so. And for people that don't 0:30:55.450 --> 0:30:58.120 want to be excited, this could be the difference between 0:30:58.170 --> 0:31:00.860 them being 8-9, 9-8. This could be the win that 0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:03.380 puts them over the top for, I don't know, Matt, 0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:06.420 could they get to third in the NFC because of 0:31:06.460 --> 0:31:09.400 how bad the NFC East is? Like, yeah, right now, 0:31:09.420 --> 0:31:11.210 does the win feel that important? 0:31:11.390 --> 0:31:13.709 Maybe not. We're only a third of the way through. 0:31:14.130 --> 0:31:17.450 But when we're looking back in January and we're trying 0:31:17.470 --> 0:31:19.490 to figure out who we want to play in the playoffs, 0:31:19.830 --> 0:31:20.830 this win will matter. 0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:23.920 I think every every win in this league matters. You're 0:31:23.940 --> 0:31:26.160 not playing baseball here. You only play so many of 0:31:26.180 --> 0:31:26.540 these things. 0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:29.220 Absolutely. And we're the Carolina Panthers. I don't know if 0:31:29.260 --> 0:31:31.420 you've noticed the win totals have been a little low 0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:33.500 at times over the last decades. And pardon me if 0:31:33.580 --> 0:31:36.700 three and two feels like cause for concern. And I'm 0:31:36.740 --> 0:31:39.080 starting to wonder if this is a double digit win team. 0:31:39.710 --> 0:31:40.860 I'm starting to wonder. 0:31:41.020 --> 0:31:43.280 It's not good for the 10-win wagon because it's still 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:44.040 barely hanging on. 0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:45.600 I'm starting to wonder if my name needs to go 0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:47.180 back on there after I drop. 0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:47.820 Down the nine wins. 0:31:47.900 --> 0:31:48.640 Are you off there? 0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:50.660 I'm at nine wins. I've been at nine wins, Bone. 0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:52.970 I had mine between six and ten at one point. 0:31:53.010 --> 0:31:54.570 I'm starting to wonder if I should go back up 0:31:54.590 --> 0:31:57.910 because this team's getting healthier. There's potential. The run game, 0:31:57.930 --> 0:31:59.830 can we get the run game more consistent? Chuba's having 0:31:59.850 --> 0:32:02.560 a hell of a season. The tight ends are becoming weapons, 0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.740 unlike they've been before. Bone throws me the marker. When 0:32:05.820 --> 0:32:08.200 Coker plays, he's got to stay healthy. Coker and T-Mac 0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:12.510 are lethal. Bryce's bad games are 91 rating, 281 yards, 0:32:12.550 --> 0:32:15.530 two tutties, no picks. And this defense for the last 0:32:15.570 --> 0:32:18.760 four weeks... Yeah, it's been fine. 0:32:18.980 --> 0:32:21.200 Like, there is a lot. There's meat on this bone. 0:32:21.500 --> 0:32:23.360 By the way, we got to make, and people are 0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:26.300 going crazy right now, either on Amit or us or whatever. 0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:28.479 I just love, I love the passion. Stop rhyming his 0:32:28.530 --> 0:32:31.890 name with cuss words. We have to. We can't read those, y'all. 0:32:32.130 --> 0:32:34.710 As much as we want to. About Amit doesn't know. 0:32:34.830 --> 0:32:37.210 You know, we can't read those. I have to salute 0:32:37.650 --> 0:32:40.760 the best moment of the Panther Monday, Bone. It's not 0:32:40.820 --> 0:32:45.320 even celebrating a Panthers win. It is celebrating love. Thanks 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:50.540 to relationship insider Willie P., who noticed this on social media, 0:32:51.260 --> 0:32:57.040 Fitty and his lovely girlfriend Maddie have gone Facebook official. 0:32:57.200 --> 0:33:00.180 Oh, there's no turning back now. That's one step from 0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:00.570 the wedding. 0:33:00.790 --> 0:33:01.130 Yeah, baby! 0:33:01.350 --> 0:33:04.510 Once you get the Facebook folks involved, you can't break 0:33:04.590 --> 0:33:07.850 up now. Oh, my goodness! Zuckerberg's involved! 0:33:09.110 --> 0:33:09.170 Ow! 0:33:09.700 --> 0:33:11.440 Tara and I can't be on there, Finney, because she 0:33:11.460 --> 0:33:14.620 doesn't have Facebook. She made that choice. Probably her second 0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:15.530 best choice besides me. 0:33:15.770 --> 0:33:17.530 She may love you. She may be so into you, 0:33:17.570 --> 0:33:19.370 she may go Facebook. She may get a Facebook account 0:33:19.390 --> 0:33:21.010 just to go Facebook official. Just to make it official? Yeah, 0:33:21.030 --> 0:33:21.810 just to tell the world. 0:33:21.830 --> 0:33:25.530 All right, when we come back, we'll react to that news. And, Mac, 0:33:25.850 --> 0:33:27.850 an NFL GM fired this morning. 0:33:27.870 --> 0:33:29.709 We'll give you that news as well as we get 0:33:29.730 --> 0:33:32.280 you ready for Monday Night Football tonight as well. Sports Radio, 0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:32.840 92.7 WFNZ. 0:33:41.520 --> 0:33:41.930 Thank you. 0:33:59.100 --> 0:34:01.280 And that's exactly my point, just before I look at that, 0:34:01.360 --> 0:34:03.260 is Notre Dame plays two games where they're going to 0:34:03.300 --> 0:34:06.770 be challenged. This one, where they're favored, and Miami at home. 0:34:07.310 --> 0:34:10.710 Think about what Alabama and Georgia and Ohio State and 0:34:10.730 --> 0:34:14.450 these teams, what they're dealing with. So that cannot continue. 0:34:14.510 --> 0:34:18.790 That's an embarrassment and incredibly unfair. But this week, they're 0:34:18.810 --> 0:34:20.200 going to face a hostile environment. 0:34:22.430 --> 0:34:26.750 Herbie, man, rough weekend for Notre Dame, Bo. And Herbie. 0:34:26.969 --> 0:34:30.629 Herbie on ESPN goes after their schedule. You heard it there, 0:34:30.650 --> 0:34:35.320 an embarrassment that has to change. Herbie, welcome to my world, baby. 0:34:35.340 --> 0:34:38.580 I've been trying to say this about the vaunted independent 0:34:38.660 --> 0:34:43.380 schedule where they play Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard. 0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:46.520 I've been trying to call this schedule out. Phoenix Online. 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:51.210 For damn decades, Herbster. Welcome to the club, my friend. 0:34:51.270 --> 0:34:53.709 Welcome to the club. And no, it will not change, Herbie. 0:34:53.750 --> 0:34:55.130 I've got news for you. It will not change. I'm 0:34:55.150 --> 0:34:58.450 a Herbie guy. I support him, even though people go 0:34:58.489 --> 0:35:00.950 against him a lot of times. Even in these trying times. 0:35:01.050 --> 0:35:04.000 However, the other day when he said Notre Dame is 0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:07.060 going to try to win this in regulation. When they're 0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:10.299 down by four at the end of the game. Yeah, Herbie, 0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:12.339 they had to try to win regulation. What choice do 0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:14.359 they have? Let me check the math here. Okay, you're 0:35:14.380 --> 0:35:15.890 down by, was it 24-20? Was that the score, I believe? 0:35:15.910 --> 0:35:18.230 Was that it? Yeah. 0:35:18.290 --> 0:35:20.589 They're down 24-20, Herbie. If they try to settle for 0:35:20.610 --> 0:35:24.470 a field goal, that puts it at 24-23, and they 0:35:24.530 --> 0:35:25.410 lose the game. 0:35:25.430 --> 0:35:25.969 Thank you, Herbs. 0:35:26.410 --> 0:35:26.750 Oh, man. 0:35:26.770 --> 0:35:29.910 He had a rough moment there. 0:35:29.930 --> 0:35:32.779 He might be tired back from all his traveling and 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:34.719 from hanging out with Peter the Dog so much. 0:35:35.140 --> 0:35:37.279 But what about Gus Johnson? Gus has got to get 0:35:37.340 --> 0:35:41.890 called out, too. Field goal is good. No. And then 0:35:41.930 --> 0:35:45.840 the Nick Marsh touchdown. Oh, hold on a second. He 0:35:45.860 --> 0:35:48.290 wasn't in. There were some rough calls this weekend. 0:35:48.310 --> 0:35:50.549 How about Tom Harmack on the FSU Miami one on 0:35:50.590 --> 0:35:54.100 the second? Hail Mary that went to the review when 0:35:54.140 --> 0:35:56.819 we couldn't tell who had the ball. He yelled out, 0:35:57.700 --> 0:36:01.460 Robinson has it for the Dolphs! He didn't say, does 0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:03.779 he have it? Is that a catch? 0:36:03.860 --> 0:36:05.360 If you're a Florida State fan, you had to be 0:36:05.380 --> 0:36:06.660 hating him on that one. He must have teased the 0:36:06.700 --> 0:36:08.819 crap out of you. As a Buckeye hater, I got 0:36:08.890 --> 0:36:12.190 teased on the Nick Marsh one, Gus. I was running around. 0:36:12.010 --> 0:36:13.110 The house, yes! 0:36:13.469 --> 0:36:15.250 Two losses for the Buckeye! 0:36:15.330 --> 0:36:15.610 No! 0:36:15.890 --> 0:36:18.110 But they did lose Julian Sane for weeks with a 0:36:18.110 --> 0:36:18.569 shoulder injury. 0:36:18.610 --> 0:36:19.470 You were running, Mac? 0:36:19.590 --> 0:36:22.790 So... Nah, it was kind of more of a... Nah, 0:36:22.810 --> 0:36:25.890 it was really just a walk. A light dad jog? 0:36:25.969 --> 0:36:27.930 It was kind of like a fast walk with my 0:36:27.969 --> 0:36:29.719 hands in the air, kind of. It wasn't too much. 0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:31.840 Don't worry about me, Finney. It wasn't too much exertion. 0:36:31.860 --> 0:36:36.620 Two pieces of breaking NFL news. Chris Ballard is out 0:36:37.060 --> 0:36:39.580 as the Colts GM after 10 years. Now go ahead, Mac, 0:36:39.640 --> 0:36:40.419 and do your thing here. 0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:42.980 My God, Carly's Notes. Now I know what Carly's Notes 0:36:43.020 --> 0:36:47.319 said yesterday. This GM sucks. Carly, you could have taken 0:36:47.340 --> 0:36:48.319 those notes years ago. 0:36:48.540 --> 0:36:51.320 She wrote down Tennessee's record and said, are we losing 0:36:51.340 --> 0:36:52.640 to this team? 0:36:52.700 --> 0:36:56.759 Did you see the social media meme where it was 0:36:56.820 --> 0:37:00.710 her and then it was a fake notepad that said, 0:37:01.010 --> 0:37:03.870 we are losing to Cam effing Ward. I mean, Cam 0:37:03.930 --> 0:37:10.549 effing Ward. Also, Mac, Andy Dalton has signed. With the 0:37:10.650 --> 0:37:13.529 Atlanta Falcons on his bird tour. Oh, how dare you. 0:37:13.590 --> 0:37:16.160 How dare you. The bird tour hits Atlanta. Yeah, the 0:37:16.219 --> 0:37:18.799 Eagles wanted him back. The Eagles wanted him back with 0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:21.439 Hurts on IR. And he said, nope, I got another 0:37:21.480 --> 0:37:24.820 team now. I get the feeling he wasn't too happy 0:37:25.300 --> 0:37:28.340 that they demoted him and released him after that interception. 0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:30.440 So where does he slot in? Do you think he 0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:32.919 becomes Tua's backup? Because I don't know if you saw 0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:34.320 the clip. Tua's backup? 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:37.500 No, I mean the backup to Pennix in front of Tua. 0:37:37.580 --> 0:37:39.620 Because Cooper Rush got let go this morning also. 0:37:39.780 --> 0:37:41.150 I don't know if you saw the clip, we didn't 0:37:41.190 --> 0:37:43.390 talk about it, of the Ravens defensive players when they 0:37:43.430 --> 0:37:44.649 realized Tua was in the game. 0:37:45.469 --> 0:37:45.850 Oh, yeah. 0:37:45.870 --> 0:37:48.050 They were throwing a celebration. 0:37:48.840 --> 0:37:51.040 And then who was the corner that picked off the pass? 0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:56.010 It wasn't Humphrey, was it? No, but he was involved. No, 0:37:56.020 --> 0:37:58.180 it was Kyle Hamilton. Yeah, Humphrey was involved in the 0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:00.240 talking about it. It was Kyle Hamilton. He said, oh, 0:38:00.250 --> 0:38:02.070 I'm getting me an interception. Tua's in there. And he 0:38:02.090 --> 0:38:02.680 went out and did it. 0:38:02.710 --> 0:38:05.930 So the league, that's what the league thinks of Tua. 0:38:05.950 --> 0:38:07.509 So I don't know. But the Andy Dalton looks pretty 0:38:07.530 --> 0:38:09.930 much cooked, too. I got to be honest. Yeah, Atlanta 0:38:09.950 --> 0:38:14.270 pretty much looks cooked. That's some cooked bird during the fall. Oh, man. 0:38:14.450 --> 0:38:16.990 All right. Anyway, let's see what we got here. 7045709610. 0:38:16.989 --> 0:38:21.779 Send your text in, baby. We love your text and 0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:24.860 we're going to respond. Darren says Andy Dalton is straight 0:38:25.020 --> 0:38:28.029 up stealing money. Yeah, you could tell last season in 0:38:28.070 --> 0:38:30.210 the preseason bone and then in the start he had 0:38:30.230 --> 0:38:32.750 to make, although he did break his finger. But like 0:38:32.770 --> 0:38:35.400 you could tell this ain't the same. It started to 0:38:35.460 --> 0:38:38.279 look like, oh, man. So anyway, well, I'm sure the 0:38:38.300 --> 0:38:40.250 Falcons will figure it out eventually. What a shame. What 0:38:40.270 --> 0:38:43.730 a shame. This texter says, Fitty just said that win 0:38:43.750 --> 0:38:47.529 could be the difference in 8-9 and 9-8. Thank you 0:38:47.570 --> 0:38:48.770 for the advanced math, Fitty. 0:38:49.110 --> 0:38:51.560 Hey, math isn't easy for this show, okay? Let alone 0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:52.840 our listeners. 0:38:52.900 --> 0:38:55.920 Sweet Cheek says, please stay off the 10-win wagon, Matt. 0:38:56.280 --> 0:38:59.109 I'm excited, though. Don't y'all like it when I'm excited? No. 0:38:59.130 --> 0:39:02.009 Who are you more excited for, Mac, the Panthers or 0:39:02.050 --> 0:39:05.160 Fiddy going Facebook official? Oh, God, that's a tie. This 0:39:05.300 --> 0:39:07.560 is big news, baby. Fiddy, don't get married during Super 0:39:07.600 --> 0:39:09.759 Bowl weekend, all right? We need to keep our plans open. 0:39:09.860 --> 0:39:15.560 All right, let's see. Oh, this is Bangle Guy. Bangle Guy. 0:39:15.700 --> 0:39:18.279 Doesn't Mac run the scoreboard in high school soccer and 0:39:18.340 --> 0:39:20.540 forget to put a goal on the board? So him 0:39:20.580 --> 0:39:23.529 criticizing BYU's timekeepers is a little rich. 0:39:23.670 --> 0:39:25.430 Yeah, but you're not a pro. You're just some hack 0:39:25.469 --> 0:39:26.430 they found in the stands. 0:39:26.469 --> 0:39:28.549 Exactly. Yeah, I'm just a hack that makes no money. 0:39:28.570 --> 0:39:30.580 These are people actually getting paid by me. the conference 0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:33.500 to be replay officials. Couldn't they not buzz down and say, 0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:35.460 I believe there was a second left? I have a 0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:37.759 question for Bagel Guy, actually. What do you do all day, 0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:41.759 Bagel Guy? Snarky text. I'd like to spend a day 0:39:41.780 --> 0:39:43.160 with Bagel Guy. I know what he does all day. 0:39:43.340 --> 0:39:46.180 That's what you should do, though. Spend a day with Bob. 0:39:46.219 --> 0:39:48.370 You should start to learn these texters' lives, Bone. I 0:39:48.390 --> 0:39:50.049 bet it might make you appreciate them a little. That 0:39:50.070 --> 0:39:51.890 could be a bad punishment moving forward. We have to 0:39:51.930 --> 0:39:53.160 spend a day with a texter? 0:39:55.620 --> 0:39:57.319 By the way, I do want to see a mitt's 0:39:57.360 --> 0:39:59.520 face when he figures out that he's getting destroyed on 0:39:59.540 --> 0:40:00.040 the text line. 0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:01.819 Oh, it must be a big grin. You know, that's 0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:04.070 what he wants. He loves it. He wanted to stir 0:40:04.090 --> 0:40:09.230 it up. Speaking of stirring it up, Jonathan says, guys, 0:40:09.390 --> 0:40:13.890 where do we stand on the Cooper Dijon unnecessary roughness 0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:18.660 against Mitchell Evans? The announcers seem convinced he was not 0:40:18.739 --> 0:40:21.759 doing it on purpose. I don't know what he was doing. 0:40:21.780 --> 0:40:23.850 I thought it was 100%. Yes, it was. I thought 0:40:23.890 --> 0:40:25.670 it was 100% on purpose. He used to date a 0:40:25.870 --> 0:40:27.150 WWE wrestler. He knows what he's doing. 0:40:27.190 --> 0:40:28.310 He should have been ejected. 0:40:28.730 --> 0:40:30.770 He had him on his back. So you agree, too. 0:40:31.170 --> 0:40:33.500 They were downplaying it so much on the broadcast. He 0:40:33.540 --> 0:40:35.540 had him on his back. And Ross Tucker's like, what's 0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:37.540 he supposed to do? I don't know. Not stand up 0:40:37.580 --> 0:40:39.859 and flip him. And it did look like he tried 0:40:39.900 --> 0:40:40.890 to flip dude off his back. 0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:41.819 Oh, yeah. 0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:44.380 Intentionally. That wasn't like, oh, my goodness, I'm sorry. I 0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:45.060 didn't know you were there. 0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:49.259 Shout out, by the way, Big Puddin'. That was a 0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:51.279 Samoan drop in wrestling. That's what that's called. 0:40:51.700 --> 0:40:53.989 Big Puddin's dealing blood clots bone. He sent us a 0:40:54.010 --> 0:40:55.969 nice text. He loves to show. He was in the 0:40:56.030 --> 0:41:00.550 hospital this weekend. So get well, Puddin'. That's just not 0:41:01.210 --> 0:41:03.770 Big Puddin'. That's Big Puddin' from East Tennessee. Yeah, baby. 0:41:03.790 --> 0:41:05.330 That's a different form of Puddin'. He said he couldn't 0:41:05.370 --> 0:41:07.680 even watch the Vols game. That's a damn shame, man. 0:41:07.700 --> 0:41:08.900 I hope you can watch this one this week. 0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:12.279 Let me show you. Bung versus Vols fans is going 0:41:12.310 --> 0:41:14.730 to be worth the price of admission all week. I'm 0:41:14.750 --> 0:41:17.290 feeling good about this one. When I feel good, that's 0:41:17.390 --> 0:41:18.930 usually not good. 0:41:18.950 --> 0:41:20.799 You should put your money where your mouth is. Go 0:41:20.840 --> 0:41:21.200 to the game. 0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:23.839 Be in attendance to watch your TV. No, don't do that. 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:25.660 Don't do that. You might jinx it. I'm actually going 0:41:25.680 --> 0:41:27.489 to Panthers-Brockos in a few weeks. There you go. There 0:41:27.510 --> 0:41:28.750 you go. I was actually supposed to go to the 0:41:28.790 --> 0:41:32.350 Tennessee game, but then the season happened. We have a 0:41:32.370 --> 0:41:35.350 text here that says, I was talking about Mrs. Bop. 0:41:35.410 --> 0:41:37.549 How does she deal with him? The only one that's 0:41:37.590 --> 0:41:39.610 got it worse than Mrs. Mack is Mrs. 0:41:39.680 --> 0:41:39.899 Bop. 0:41:41.180 --> 0:41:44.180 Thank you, I think. Very astute point from a texter. 0:41:44.219 --> 0:41:47.960 Panthers now 1-0 in the first place schedule games. The 0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:50.600 games we play, Bone, against other first place teams from 0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:53.319 last year, Philly was one of them. And I think 0:41:53.360 --> 0:41:55.339 the number one point that has to be made is 0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:58.360 when we freak out about a first place schedule, you 0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:01.379 have no idea what those first place teams are. are 0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:04.300 going to be when you play them. Seattle is 3-3. 0:42:04.739 --> 0:42:07.739 How about the Denver Broncos? How do they look right 0:42:07.780 --> 0:42:11.120 now offensively? So many of these first-place teams on our 0:42:11.180 --> 0:42:15.430 first-place schedule don't look so scary. Not a first-place team, 0:42:15.450 --> 0:42:17.410 but the Packers are looking like they're getting hot right now. 0:42:17.450 --> 0:42:22.750 They are. It is a give-and-take there. 704 number says, Guys, 0:42:22.770 --> 0:42:26.310 do you think Dave Canales also congratulated guys on all 0:42:26.330 --> 0:42:30.370 the record-setting penalties they had during his speech yesterday? Let 0:42:30.390 --> 0:42:33.550 me give it up for Rob Hunt, who went downfield 0:42:33.570 --> 0:42:37.069 too far twice. Give it to him two times. I'm 0:42:37.170 --> 0:42:39.990 thinking that might not occur. All right, we're out of here, y'all. 0:42:40.070 --> 0:42:43.130 Everybody have themselves a Monday, baby, and celebrate it. Bask 0:42:43.150 --> 0:42:45.850 in the glory of a dub. We're out of here. 0:42:45.890 --> 0:42:47.810 Colin Hoggard, Charlotte Sports Today, coming up.
