Former UNC basketball star Luke Maye on his younger brother, Drake

Capital financial. This is the gold shell we feel like the competition is been outstanding.

I didn't say that Jacoby would not employ. I didn't say that we we are going to trust him. He's not going come in the games and help as well. This is the gold shell would not, I'm Josh Graham and for Adam the day that was Mack Brown.

Believe me, will be talking about Tar Heel quarterbacks as looking at my watch two days away from week zero. The Tar Heels play Florida A&M at Kenan Stadium and being in this chair talking to you might be the most exciting thing that's happened to me this year. Well second most exciting thing I got married a couple of months ago about the Sager life listening. What's not going to appreciate that and on for about a minute and I've already screwed things up. That's the voice of Dennis Cox is producing today show.

But here's what I am so excited. Dennis, I grew up listening to 99. Nine. The fan and remembered when it flipped from country to sport some years ago. In fact this morning after my dad's good will appreciate that I was visiting with my dad in Youngsville and he was still in bed listening to the station. Also brought in a place that's close to my heart Greenville America shouts to the folks in the 252 94 three to game I hosted afternoons couple years there. It's the first week of classes in Greenville, so I'm sure nobody is hanging out itself.this week and Michelle also on in the place I work now in the triad triad part of the state WSJ so it's very exciting for me. But you know what else is exciting.

Dennis was getting out of the gate okay. The stage is set for bills Panthers tomorrow night, Bank of America Stadium, the first time the Panthers have played competitive football game and that Stadium for the 2022 season get excited. The Panther starters expected the play into the second quarter of this game most of the bill starters will not be playing according to former Panthers. DC is now Buffalo's coach. Of course Sean McDermott did you know that the Buffalo Bills are the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl. They are the favorites feel about that. Got some doubts about it, you lose your offense of coordinator and Brian Babel was now the head coach of the Giants.

A familiar name in Charlotte or among Panther fans are a guess to claim Miami in the early 2000's hurricanes fans as well. Ken Dorsey is the office of coordinator.

I don't think he's going to wreck the Porsche what is he going to be as good as Brian Babel was, I think it remains to be seen. We've seen many instances in sports where you sit in a chair too high.

A lot of people make fun of the negative. For example, is the Panthers had coach. What's the Panthers often subordinate or excuse me, but a lot of people don't like him because he was not successful as the Giants had coach. Once upon a time, make fun of the mustache make fun of the hair all that the only reason you become a head coach in the NFL is because at one time you were really good coordinator so maybe he's a great coordinator but going down the line just because you are a good quarterbacks coach light can Dorsey was Once upon a time can duties quarterbacks coach does not necessarily mean you're going to be a great hope it's coordinator that's my one concern with the bills because when you look at the roster. Dennis not a lot of holes in it.

As promised, getting to North Carolina Tar Heel football Mack Brown continue to update us on Frank May's first week as North Carolina started only way Mack wouldn't use the word starter as North Carolina's first quarterback that's going to run on the field Saturday night there's Mack yesterday was good. I thought it was great today and give Jacoby credit is been great both days is gone back to work is completed he understands that the is a snap away from from being the guy been out there and he's he's responded to that, really well. You never know people don't respond to adversity North Carolina circumstance. I think Drake made was the right guy to start. I don't follow high school recruiting that closely but it's not hard to see who has the more athletic upside between Drake may Jacoby Criswell Criswell. I think was the 250th ranked player in that general ballpark coming out of high school. According to 24 seven.

Drake may was top 50 top 55 once committed to Nick Sabin in Alabama. So if it's close go with the younger guy, but also go with the guy who's a bit of a playmaker. A dual threat when you lose British crooks for the season like North Carolina has in this preseason camp and you lose Antoine Greene for the first month of wide receiver and you don't have a lot of depth there playmaker at quarterback. That's probably the way to go and I think that's why drugmakers start tonight NFL preseason action. Could we have a Super Bowl preview between the Packers in Kansas City if it was 20, 21, I probably say that's the case a lot of question marks for both these teams in 2022. Dennis, who has more concerns going into the year Green Bay or Kansas City to be on NFL network, by the way, yes, I went what what concerns are legitimately what concerns are there by thinking that Green Bay you don't have Devante Adams there anymore.

Okay you don't have Nathaniel Hackett, the office of coordinator who is now Russell Wilson's coach in Denver and Kansas City also lost an all-pro wide receiver entirely kill so they're going to have to figure out whether or not Michael Hartman can take a big step up and introduce Ms. Schuster can help supplement some of that production of the and that guy I think it will be a lot harder to do that Kansas City then Green Bay because Tyree kill is a unique player that you that words often used loosely people say unique when they mean rare rare means few unique means one. There's nobody else in the league like Tyree kill that's good be tough to replace when you got Aaron Rodgers playing quarterback whether it Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb or someone else. I think you'll figure it out but I would be a little worried about Nathaniel Hackett's impact on this offense. Now that he's in Denver. Also in those divisions watch over the Vikings watch out for the Chargers Packers chief NFL network tonight. Baseball last night I was watching my Baltimore Orioles had a chance with the bases loaded. They were down a runner to coarsely ground into a double play loss to the Chicago White Sox and company to big homerun races that were following baseball fun. Whether it's pointed up Sammy Sosa versus Mark McGuire 25 years ago, or the totally not related up Aaron judge and Albert pools, making allegations there. I'm sure they're clean above those guys making baseball very fun. Let's start with Albert pools last night we set it 693 and he still at 693. He did double in the game made people pretty excited don't see 42-year-old Albert pools liking out too many doubles nowadays, but maybe a ground with about 40 games left to go. He's three homers away from Alex Rodriguez. He is seven homeruns away from 700. The only guys to hit the 700 homerun mark in baseball history. Some guys name Ruth Aaron and Barry bonds. The Cubs are hosting the Cardinals for an afternoon game today at 220. Getting to the other homerun race real quick while talking baseball Aaron judge didn't play yesterday. He still at 48 couple days ago we had a home run against the Mets to get the 48 he's trying to get to 61, which was the Roger Marist record set by the Yankee slugger in the early 60s and if he's able to get there.

There are still some in baseball to consider that to be the clean homerun record since Sosa, McGuire and bonds are the only guys who exceeded Marist's Mark with 40 games roughly left to go. Aaron judge chasing that to another FL no tie Ron Smith appeared to Tara handy at practice yesterday. You don't want to tear those Dennis out. He's gonna be out several months, I have no idea how to read the NFC. No clue.

Everybody says it should be the Eagles but I get Arizona Cardinals vibe from them. This is what I mean by that. If you look at their team on paper. You think of this seems to be awesome. You kidding me all the skill position players, but then find out the footballs not play in a fantasy sentence were played on paper when it's not breaking news reporting that 1211 here on this Thursday afternoon, so I have a little bit more faith in Dallas than I do. Silly, I think, to win that division even though there really is a justifiable way to say that Dallas is going to be better than they were a year ago after losing Amari Cooper now dealing with an injury to tie Ron Smith replacing some starters on defense.

Pretty big news the deck as Dr. Prescott's life, probably to become more difficult without big tie Ron tackle how we stay in the NFL in here from a new Carolina Panthers by way of the Cleveland Browns. No I'm not talking about Baker Mayfield. I'm talking about wide receiver Ryszard Higgins is the one that had that touchdown pass touchdown catch in DC that Sam startled through the list to be really good pickup for Carolina and by all accounts seems to be a decent guy, a delightful person to talk to. He spoke to the media for the first time and let us in on who Aker Mayfield is maybe something we didn't know about Baker Mayfield and Silver shot he can share with you is really good at color. The and I say that right now but you know what you give me a hard time by other will be on the game in he's pretty good at called as here, that Baker Mayfield. There's a missed follow-up question on this. What would you have followed up with what you killed Etheridge prove it okay you think you're good at it God to give me the stats Baker Mayfield no gunslinger on the football field and apparently a gunslinger in video games as well. What would be that videogame for Dennis Cox that if you put yourself on the stick so well your to do some work in all three question for me NHL 09 okay, maybe an NHL game equity one that had Eric's stall on the cover. Yes, back when I was such a nerd is back when I was listening to 99. Nine. The fan a lot in high school and I may or may not of been top 100 ranked in the world.

NHL 09. You want those hands. That's probably the one I go to getting back to Drake may who is the Tar Heels starting quarterback way first quarterback to run out on the field Saturday use backgrounds terminology. I don't know if you notice his brother is look back. Luke may play basketball in Spain is going to join the show in 15 minutes so make sure you're around for that. When I think of Mack Brown. I think somebody who's really friendly, like a grandpa, your friendly grandpa right when he comes on the show very polite very assessable when I heard his press conference Monday.

I don't think I've ever seen Mack Brown as uncomfortable as he was in that spot telling us who the Tar Heels start weight the guy was good to be running on the field first on Saturday night. You would use the term starter. He was sometimes we think press conferences are for the fans. Sometimes people in the media think that the guys just talking to us.

I think coaches have specific people they want to reach with the pressures and on Monday when he was announcing the quarterback. It felt like that entire pressure was tailored to forts Jacoby Criswell listen you're gonna play all will rip them out after three and out, but if he's not driving the offense were to put the other guy, please don't transfer please please just don't do it. I know we we he's younger than you. Just please don't even we redshirted reply.

We set Josh Downs longer than we should have.

I redshirted Julius peppers all of that is true, but the major difference in all those instances you can play multiple corners play multiple wide receivers in the end, as long as Drake may is in Chapel Hill and starting football games. Jacoby Criswell is not to be on the field so it's a fair concern on Mack's part. It's understandable, especially as you follow it you probably do pretty closely. They had a number of wide receivers and linebackers to transfer out the portal.

This past year, and there a lot thinner at those spots in the care to be so I understand why Mack would feel that way, wanting to keep some depth there and keep both Drake may Jacoby Criswell happy.

I said that we had a Super Bowl preview a potential Super Bowl preview tonight in the NFL in the preseason, there's actually another one. I think check that box to that we have the right to Dennis Cox, the Houston Texans are playing the San Francisco 49ers. Let's go fans get your tickets Arizona book your tickets.

Caleb Mills versus says name Caleb that's right versus trailing couldn't tell you were Caleb Mills with the school Davis Mills, though it is Davis Mills see exactly exactly. Actually, I should get to know now. Yeah, this is good to be playing in the Super Bowl. Second-year quarterbacks back to KC. Caleb Mills asked that I would like to learn more about Caleb Mills. If possible, only the former former Florida State basketball player Caleb Mills when I was thinking of North Carolina. It's pretty easy to figure out Buffalo is the favorite in the AFC because there's a Super Bowl favorite favorite in the NFC flawed during the stuff about Matthew Stafford elbow it scares you off about the defending champs famine at a first round pick Jerrod Goff in 2016 that might catch up with you eventually know OBJ this year.

Tampa Bay is losing all their interior alignment Tom Brady is had ominous off-season a suspicious off-season and he's approaching his mid 40s and we Artie talked about Green Bay losing Nathaniel Hackett and losing Devante Adams San Fran what is Trey Lansky to be I don't know you don't know anybody who claims to know I called and Dallas is losing guys left and right to solo is the favorite in the NFC honestly don't know the answer.

That's the fun.

Oh, it is. That's the secret sauce of the NFL unlike the NBA certainly on my college football so many fan bases can believe they have a shot there only four teams in the NFC.

I know for sure are good to be playoff teams.

Seattle, Atlanta. They both know the Detroit Lions. They know and in the New York Giants. Dana teams that no the Atlanta Falcons to Dana. Everybody else feel like they have shot the Carolina Panthers include getting to the MBA Chet Holmgren going to be out for the season due to a Liz Frank injury all of us in the state of North Carolina are now Liz Frank experts because of what happened to cam Newton and that corral in the last few years, so we know all about Liz and Frank. Now Chet Holmgren's out. This is the part that frustrates me about Chet Holmgren. The way that he's talked about as soon as the injury was announced, all I see on my twitter feed is what you know his body type you know that this is something that was going to have to look out skinny he is really most times, when you get a Liz Frank injury, it's because someone stepped on your foot.

Last I checked, working to confirm this. Whether your 7 foot one or 5 foot one you can have your footsteps on let's not lead to conclusions here.

We do this as I am, Williams and Zion biases way to, he's never going to play these through three years already has been an NBA All-Star and he's played almost 3 times as many games as Joelle impeded his first three years to build up your Sixers would have it back taking JoEllen beat. Of course not.

So when you talk about these freak as a way it's like Zion like JoEllen B.

And yes, like Chet Holmgren.

Maybe, let's not leap to conclusions with 18 and 19-year-old, saying that their careers are likely finished or that they're going to be bossed for that they're knocking to be able to make it because of their body type until we have a little bit more of a sample size of crazy thought. I know and one more thing to get to this happen. Late last night Dennis I don't know if you caught it.

They have is now a Los Angeles Lakers yeah the first two thoughts that came across my mind when I saw this headline number one to be awkward sharing the building with the clippers. He does that.

Now, those games go to become a lot of fun and there's no way they're going to keep Russell Westbrook bear right likes these Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverly. More recent people find out a way to move them give me a local Titus, while the Timberwolves went undrafted with a sign Isaiah Miller out of you integrate right Timberwolves season playing with their G league team for lease last season. Isaiah Miller was West Millers best player yeah at UNCG two-time so-called defensive player of the year down CR yeah and also player of the year. So God as well.

Went to the exilic terminals before state in the first round of the NCAA servant backtracked at UNCG so he's got a group to be there next Patrick Beverly that strong defensive player, scrappy but could do a little bit of everything for you is give him inside to make in the Ross and I would love that be great for Isaiah because he was such a player.

He's one of those guys when you see them walk up you don't think he's worth much. Yeah, you certainly don't think he can get up the way that he does. But I guys been over achieving his entire basketball life so I'm not in the business of doubting Isaiah Miller that'll be interesting with Minnesota slightly less interesting though that trying to figure out how Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverly are going to coexist make them room together. That's all I the cup is just overflowing the day it is. That's what we got for out of the gate the day just to ton of topics I thought.

In August it was slow. Not a lot of stuff going on.

I thought that was supposed to be the case. Yeah, I wish Kurt Busch missed the start of the NASCAR playoffs joke of it which not good to play in the U.S. Open because he refuses to get vaccinated. Lotta stuff that we could talk about on today show, but I think the fact that North Carolina is playing this week makes the Tar Heels particularly compelling to me and the fact that Drake may is the starting quarterback is still astounding to me how many Tar Heels which is limited to the 21st century, the last 22 years.

How many Tar Heels are more popular than Luke may how many more than five yeah Hansbrough okay Danny Green cued the jump around Marcus. Page sure.

Maybe they got right now I don't think it's a very long list guys brother is not only playing for the football team only starting for the football thing is starting it back and was a starting quarterback at Carolina. It's an unbelievable story.

So two days before Drake may starts for the first time in Chapel Hill. Luke may is going to join dish out. I am not involved – Graham and for AG today and tomorrow, where we go to Spain. I believe we are now chatting with Luke may who plays basketball in Spain that is where were talking to you now. Right okay so help me figure this out Saturday night. North Carolina is going to kick things off at 8:15 PM Eastern standard Time in Keenan and I know this because my sister lived in Madrid for much of last year.

It is a six hour difference between where were at right now and where Spain is that so by my calculations, was in a math major at East Carolina.

It's good to be 8 to 15 a.m. start for the Tar Heels. If you were to watch that game Saturday night. I guess Sunday morning from where you're at your younger brother Drake is starting quarterback for the heels where will Luke may be to 15 a.m. Spanish time will be for waterway watching the Waterloo Grove American world. How special is it for you and your family. We heard Drake earlier this week, say one of the boys had to play football because of course your dad was a quarterback for the heels watching Drake's journey from being in Alabama commit. Then following your dad in your footsteps going to Chapel Hill waiting behind Sam in getting this opportunity what you think you're going to feel when you see him in that uniform running out there for the first time be really cool. Happy for me. Work already gotten this point to supersize the CLE. Most importantly handle diversity committee. Like anything sports me not going away every time in the I'm happy to come out to see an outdated CMP will be exciting for me to start off land in the season.

Will the life your dad Mark was also as I mentioned a Tar Heel quarterback, but I believe he was Drake's quarterback before he or his his coach before he arrived on campus in Chapel Hill to so walk me through this.

Who's good to be a bigger rat at Keenan Stadium Saturday night watching Drake mom or dad mom mom you about it from there is a pretty cool recall my game and me. Honestly, these things out there. Once treated you well I mean it's it's it's it's a game and that the man in the day like you love them. For some matter what will deftly be exciting time in the I'm sure there will be something to drink today be working to help softball team. When only Drake out a lot of guys out there that are trying to do the best they can in the me know if you plan because of the high level I just experience for me, even some games. We do not really the opponent is up to level me very easy account of overlook, and I think that's something that you learn how to manage handle I find to see how Drake in the vertical games with the second week of really really good team and I think it would be good test for third year maze with us joining us from Spain talking about his brothers first career start Saturday night for the Tar Heels against Florida and A&M so how much different though. Do you think the feedback is going to be from dad. After the game for Drake then the feedback you got from dad considering he was a quarterback and played football.

The degree to be pretty similar. Even though my dad didn't play basketball at my level. He's wanted for him. He played it in high school and the me he knows the game really well and I think you might be a little harder on Drake position so well my dad mean he loves us. He cares about us, but he wants to do the best we can take everything I think there will be good for Drake to come and hear from him, especially after the first game. No different different kind of atmosphere than playing high school who were viewed better. Luke may football or Drake may at basketball.

The other no. I played football in high school and middle school and I really love good for Drake's by better basketball feet is a good player play basketball in college meeting never matter to me.

I didn't really carry out my football dream for Drake started better basketball but I'm football maze with this year I want to get to a couple other things since I've got you Dennis Cox who you're talking to. Just a second. Got a second ago is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan and I read somewhere that you were childhood friends with Mason Rudolph is that right there good friends so distant week in the summer with them paying out with them.

Talk about the season and I mean happy for him and I think is a great father. They should battle their quarterback in the guys who are players who can see how that works.

And that's what I want to get real quick, though, because when you were the star at Carolina.

The quarterback was some guy named Mitch Stravinsky so I didn't know if there was a relationship.

There is well.

How closely are you keeping an eye on this quarterback battle in Pittsburgh and had a great career kill on the really counted kid, wishing the very best as well for me. I think it is in good hands. And they also drafted quarterback who's one of the best dispatch class and I think all three of them have a chance with Mason being friends with those really my dad him and his dad in my bedroom together college images on the poor for him.

Players may with this year to talk about Tar Heel basketball as well. Did you get a chance at any point this summer to come back and who put up with this group held back all summer.

Rhonda looking at me and I will see you log on the back of a counted team trying to make sure their minds prepare for what they do come in this year's last year they will do a lot of hunting and a different one every night supposedly reasonable one in the guys going to be going for you so fun to see how the battle that, like I mentioned earlier, dispelling adversity and, seeing how everything works out next dance, but that they are a great team and coach Dave job really excited to see how they do this year.

Cupping the make another run at it. I agree chance we got out, went over that's all you all you need need to really know going to exchange got to be confident report. Like he said a lot of guys back. We know the scouting report on Caleb love and Armando Baker and many of the others, but we don't really know much about Pete Mansour transferred in from Northwestern.

Can you give me a scouting report on him after watching him play your feet LLP save the court grade really good counted play inside play outside in." Well, he's got a lot lot goal for some this year different player than Brady and I think they'll be good because the me just come to give us a different dynamic Brady Brady and Pete use a plate of foul play Messiah CO monitor play together that could be really never do, dare I say Pete Mansour's game is similar to Luke Mase that we we got different attributes is almost 7 feet long on more athletic on the sheeted near 12 I can. I think you have a great year and excited to see how and target this year. I heard I heard straight from there. Okay ladies Brady shooting the ball but Brady's not Luke met put on the ESPN bottom. I like to watch that with the charity will figure it out today and Brady manic three-point shootout. I know you're in Spain I know you got a lot of stuff going on. Best of luck with your pro career out there and I know it's going to be an early wake-up call. Watching your brother play Saturday night. Thanks for squeezing in some time for us. Got it.

That's Luke met Tar Heel great joining us to talk about Drake mag whose maybe one day going to be a Tar Heel great not starts on Saturday night to be exciting to keep an ion you know on ACC network. They're going to pander the stands quite often see mom and dad looking and watching nervously you get all that I went with the over under of Luke may highlights during broad on to write that down for place your bets next hour that I'm in a place that one and 1/2. Take the over okay you're right it's gonna be a blowout so keep that in mind when placing your bets. I don't know if you can get that. I don't know if you can get that offshore or anything like that lot of stuff on the docket today. You are listening to the out uncle Joe I am Josh Graham merely Josh Graham Chris Lee W RAL good to be in studio with us in about 20 minutes we got grammar school B.is going to drop by that'll be a lot of fun and a late add to the show. Steve Logan legend to be dropping by 250. Make sure you're around for the coach but as we move along coming up, find yourself somebody who will protect your secrets the way Krista McCaffrey does. This is the uncle Joe. We wanted to get some of those offenses secrets out of McCaffrey because hopefully God plays more than three games this year. That would be a big help for Carolina. But how exactly is he going to be utilized. Here's what McCaffrey had to say put the ball in the end zone is obviously the goal moving the ball north get first downs heat he has so much knowledge in so many different areas and I think being able to learn not just what your job is. But why your job is what it is ultimately equally as important, and I think just being able to play fast. It's a scheme it's meant to work and so it's up to us to execute so long answering to gain information.

I'm excited about it that my goal will Olympic Winter for most useless piece of sound but the authenticity there at the end of my gadgets give you guys nothing single that's basically every soundbite. These people give us real well. It's like an Olympic gymnast you just stuck the landing for the most useless answer ever and you're putting your arms out like I'm I said a lot of words without any substance whatsoever in those words. I learned nothing about it bag you know goal to get into the end zone. Every scheme is made to work you got Joe person and other people there scribbling on their notepad are okay. That's really good stuff find somebody in life you trust with your secrets the way I'm sure the Panthers trust Krista McCaffrey with all of their secrets.

As I mentioned Dennis I got married earlier this summer and a miracle happened shortly after my wedding was that I don't know if I want to be sharing the story statewide across North Carolina but dumb buttons ready are good. Got it. No no no I am not big C Hayes Paramore makes a lot of fun of me because I'm easy to make fun of, but particularly in my beach habits. I'm not one that ever really goes out into the water so much. All knee-deep although ankle-deep I can swim group with the pool I know how to swim. It's not necessarily that, I just like knowing that deep into the ocean. I'm also a guy that can't sell under the peer.

That's where I like to hang out and perm are is not a big fan of that so part of my honeymoon was going to Turks and Caicos. I was out there for a week with my lovely bride Sarah Bradford and the final day that we were out there she motions over to me. Come out into the water.

I'm thinking you know what this water so clear a lot clearer than the water abuse to at either Emerald Isle or Myrtle Beach. Even though both those places are lovely so I go out into the water with my bride were having a great time about chest deep in the water. Dennis Intel five minutes into it. I thought my ring slipped off my finger. Oh, C my wedding ring fell off my finger. Oh, it's the ocean it's clear you said it was Clearwater decided I said to my ring just okay so she races out to get a bunch of goggles for us to search. Meanwhile, other people are figuring out what's up. We got like a search unit of six or eight tourists looking for this reading.

Nice. Here's the problem that we look in the distance, a storm is coming better, which means we have to get out of the water sometime soon. 20 minutes of pass since I lost the ring.

We haven't found that were looking around her people praying man to see if this if we find this ring. Sarah Bradford thinks maybe it's drifted a bit with the current thinking big place this ring be Myrtle Beach and she this is how she described to me she saw some fish converge to a spot she looked down and saw the outer rim of the ring, grabbed it, and five minutes later lightning storm like you want to believe we have to get out of the water. She found the ring nice. That is a miracle that happened on my honeymoon. The second miracle to happen on my honeymoon.

That's for your wife wants her. How much better is that story because she found the ring I was washed up on the great one of those people have the one of those things called that you're walking around the metal to Dr. 618, 20, 22, some poor sap lose their wedding grade already fast so that was fantastic, slightly better than Krista McCaffrey talking about big Mac a dues offense slightly better than that. I am so excited for week zero football like unreasonably excited to watch the Tar Heels on Saturday night. I just saw that former ACC quarterback Tommy DeVito remember him. It's Syracuse could be starting for Illinois they're playing the pokes of Wyoming watch all these games for real I am starved of football. I'll be watching all of this. This is the gold shell
