Carolina Panthers training camp Day 2

Financial capital financial.

This is the gold shell myself better when the letter from play my best ball help each other out. The main goal for this team pretty well understood. When the matter was in there.

When football games nothing in message. This is the gold shell love me some serious Baker Mayfield gas all so serious but coachable very coachable. You know they are in there Adam is learning from mistakes exactly improving day-to-day order back to evaluate so whether it's through film, independent study, whatever it may be to get better. We've seen that one day you already feel one debris seen improvement. Massive improvements are bigger Mayfield man he's going to look better shouldn't wear pants and long sleeves in Spartanburg. I will talk about that later got it so funny. I know Jill I am and that is that is Cox. We are here for delicateness up gold but they will kick his exit exam at same time every day just before 3 o'clock so we don't want time take care of a lot of things were on TV hi if you are local to the Raleigh WR LTV five viewing area over the air over the antenna 34.1 spectrum cable 1257 Roku fire android Apple TV W oriole sports plus you can find us man there so many good things including candles today, oh yeah, 16 of them do like you not, that was a good movie to serve a coming-of-age movie.

Those movies all came out like rapidfire breakfast club which I watched Saturday night. We are your you familiar with that movie very good St. Elmo's fire. I actually spoke to somebody was in that movie legitimately and that movie yesterday.

Yes okay yes my friend Matthew Lawrence used to do. Duke radio for basketball.

Matthew had done a very long acting career in Hollywood and his character Rod jealous Sandro was one of the neighbors of the of the brat pack of one of the near one of the kids in the brat pack St. Elmo's fire exit talk to Matthew for about 1/2 hour last night so that's why I brought that up. But I did so.

St. Elmo's fire, breakfast club, 16 candles time try to remember the movie with Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy where Rob McCarthy has an affair with Rob Lowe's mother. They're both in boarding school class class like you just do a Google search Diablo into Bacardi movie.

Your fast. That was a great movie a super movie class. By the way, Jaclyn Bissett, great actress sleep rate actually read their breakfast already, will you mention can words about candles thinking of it.

I look at you I sent you. I appreciate you. You you love the breadcrumbs to get his back. I thank you very much. Anyway, we are to talk about candles and Christian McCaffrey. All right, let's just start before I blow it Baker Mayfield day yesterday was the same darnel show today.

Baker's time to shine.

Just get better when the time you know it's I have to get better from play my best ball things will take care of itself and just help each other out in the main goal for this team, which is pretty well understood as we try to win matter who's in there who want to win football games and that's the main message. He says so many good football he things just so many good football he things that are yeah just triggering day to day were just trying to win games doesn't matter who's in there look just at the team he so polished that look I've I've always said this about Baker and I think will find out this to be true. Over time this year. I think the biggest advantage that Mayfield has over darnel's presence.

I don't think his physical skills are significantly better than Sam's if they are at all but Mayfield carries himself like a star would really better than the quarterback. That is what he carries himself like a number one like a leader all of those things and that matters. And I think that's probably Mayfield's biggest advantage over darnel is his presence so I still I even though Hayes per Moore when he was filling in. Two times ago or whatever was has a wager of pending wagers Sam Donald +200 to be week one starter like a man I so I sort of hope is right but I don't think is going to be unless there's an injury involved. I think Baker ultimately will win this job.

Day two is his time to work with the ones yesterday he worked with the tutors on the flipside of that is are also working against the ones and we know how good the Panthers defense can be. Although two players did not practice today Jack Thompson again JC Horn again and those are two starters in the in the Panthers top 11 on defense carryover PT August the yeah look there both on the populist horn is on the active populist. I don't know why there is a list called active pop although pups by nature are acting so maybe that's maybe that's what anyway we heard at the beginning that I want to hear it again Sam is rather bigger Mayfield is coachable and learning from his mistakes for a long sleep past so, but I'm stubborn so I adores myself Spartanburg hits different yeah the heat of Spartanburg hits a little bit different. Have you ever been to Panthers training camp. I have been training can know but I've been by Wofford yes okay well I will.

We were a couple years in a row. It seems the air is just a tad heavier in Spartanburg. There, in the upstate yeah, but they're not there not high up in the really not up in the mountains was like the area of the states called the all right yeah so I don't know, man. It's humbling of valleys and it Spartanburg.

Kind of.

It's just the air just sits on top of you.

It's just a dentist pushes you to the ground selling a weighted blanket like man everywhere. Having trying to get my realize there's there. Wofford for reason.

Obviously, Jerry Richardson, but man if there was a way to have training camp in a place that was cooler like the Panthers should have training camp in Asheville. Yeah, just go to Asheville started to somebody was like part of their tourism and visitors Bureau over the week. Let like last week and we were saying you know it's it's only 74° right now like you. Let's go let's go there now one of the saints do their training camp in West Virginia.

I'm sure it's gorgeous and no mean in the Blue Ridge and other doing about in the mountains was doing okay that is better more seeds to Beckley or someone a backlit thing only thing that's judicially or where the rivers exactly that's that's a big thing like the saints on the get a day off while my go fishing and things like that saints do that I want to say that Dallas doesn't don't think or maybe his Kansas City does. There's a Wisconsin while Dallas goes to Napa. The cowboys go to Napa. They went to Napa I think that's where they do it revenge. I usually Kansas City goes up Wisconsin really yeah I go to the Yukon. Yeah I go to Nova Scotia to do to try to get.

Have you ever got white water rafting white water rafting no I recommend white water rafting to everyone I know it is so much wanted get on a good River.

Challenge yourself to God in the book have a blast is a great absolute great time it's Oxnard, California. Okay that yesterday Was not smart unaware Oxnard is but it sounds that sounds hot to me for my man Coach Pete through with the capital financial advisory group. We are talking retirement.

I coach simple.

When we start tax planning and retirement should start as soon as possible because here's one thing that taxes are not going away and so the game here is we know the rules what people want to ignore the rules or act like they don't offer me with them but virus those rules and so we get retirement. The region start taking some of their money out of your accounts so the secret here is to put a force field around as much as possible. By strategically moving some Romani to Roth IRA were some of the other vehicles in our text like a special life insurance policies you can borrow against your money there and never have to pay tax on your money to build up inside your Space up there a lot of strategies here. One strategy that does not work is ignoring mature and not ignored the next 10 people will do for you your very own tax and retirement plan to help you minimize taxation with retirement 800-661-7383. All you got is call or you can text Adam to 21000 for Coach Pete the road.

I want one more thing I mentioned candles if there was a star.

Try to remember where I read the story, but Christian McCaffrey as she was on ESPN.com, Christian McCaffrey has CE admits the bougie asked dorm room on the roster. Very nice. So he went out to and just decorated the whole room. He's got a rug he's got a bunch of pillows. A lot of blankets, candles, he's got all sorts of candles in his room.

It's great and of your Christian McCaffrey and you've got a bunch of candles in your room. Nobody is making funny nobody is going cost. What's up with that dude with the candle because it's Christian McCaffrey and if he wants a bit put up poster of Gloria Gaynor on the wall looking up looking up I will survive if you want to put a Gloria Gaynor poster on the wall. It suddenly is cool to have a Gloria Gaynor poster on the wall look up you can bump with Gloria Gaynor lit later in the Eric Maclaine will go. What the hell is he bumping with Gloria getting here and all that is room is perfect tremendous value. We talk about candles later okay let's just keep going on okay bedrock was burger walks back common Lucky you can play George Michael all day for me okay two days ago Ben Roth was burger went public with his dismay at what he called a lot of me first players these days.

You know the kids these days. Yeah, they don't care about the team. They only care about themselves. This is the classic old man yells at cloud one of the very best players in the entire league like Ben and only Steeler cam Hayward.

He was not amused. Remember me wrong word the whole third quarterback is played two years early on with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I was a little bit upset about it because I was always raised to protect the locker room tech guys and the weights he uses in this is my point of view this is what I see. It looks as though look at her selfish players and I think that's not the point.

I think we have a lot of young players that come from different backgrounds. I think we have guys that have experienced everything I somebody else. My experience making selfish or doesn't make them need type attitude. By the way cam would be the best defensive tackle in football. If Aaron Donald would just retire yeah you will. That's what they don't realize how good can because that bar is so darn hot he can is amazing like you and I talk about this.

The Steelers have three of the best defensive players in the entire league team with TJ Watt, cam Hayward and Mickey Fitzpatrick right then they have the makings that the guts of that incredible defense. They don't need to talk out of their offense to be good.

I just don't know what they're going to get a Mitch Stravinsky and offense of line that is still developing right we we just don't know. But in their defense could be absolutely awesome. I hope they all stay healthy, but can I just explained to Ben that if there was ever a sport to have a me first attitude, it would be football the average careers are basically three years. You're lucky I mean really lucky unless unless you are a star you are really lucky to make a good living.

Something that kinda sets you up for the rest your life was the majority of these guys are out of the league quickly and yet most don't see through the rookie contracts like watercolor rookie card. You've heard me say this, they should not even call the rookie contract they should call it a first contract because it's on it so I believe the number is about like the percent is about 50% of first round picks that get the second contract like it's one of those things that if the football players Association were stronger then the first contract wouldn't be five years for first round picks in four years for everybody else, it would be three years, first from picks, and took years for everybody else, because they basically take the best of your career at your lowest earning potential. Yeah, unless your quarterback, or unless you're lucky enough as a player to avoid injury and be really good. By the time you get to that second contract. I mean you look at what some of the NBA players make right some of the just the needle of your roster. NBA player but I honestly don't know. But cash, what is BJ Tucker make Peter Tucker as a starter and a valuable piece but is more of an intangible piece right and Peter Tucker is probably made conservatively. $200 million in his career. I bet I just made 7 million this past year, $7 million is a star not quarterback star right now quarterback*not like the offense of tackle, but it if you make $7 million in the NFL you are, you are probably no worse than 10th on your team and 50 something in salary in his upcoming contract he just signed a three year, $33 million deal because I make $11 million a so I mean the NFL guys. They don't make that much money as I had been arguing this for a while. I think the NFL salary Is at least $100 million to yeah they should. The salary cap should be over 300,000,014 inches should be the player should make more money.

We have no middle-class in the NFL. No middle-class everyone. The reasons why the rookie contracts go to for years is because the reach unrestricted free agency you have to played more than three years. So if you only have three years of term in the NFL is a great undrafted rookie you play three years with the team is undrafted rookie right your restricted free agent right so that's one reason why rookies contracts, but a better draft that is part of CBA negotiation ever got everyone every element of that is is a hearing on and I don't know what the union so we can end again. Another thing that is been talked about for decades to many of the guys in the league don't make a lot of money can afford to miss the year and if enough of the players were willing to miss the year.

All of this would change but they're not and I understand June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen, I understand what was see him anymore think we can get through because we gotta get to the most important thing from last night. The American announce their preseason predictions came out earlier today Houston Cincinnati Central Florida 123. Do you know interesting. You know what is similar about all three of those schools Houston Cincinnati and Central Florida they're all about the leave exactly very good, can put anything past you. That is no SMU Memphis East Carolina 456 mL was right in the middle right. 6/11.

Two lanes also use cell Florida Navy and temple bringing up the rear preseason ACC honors yesterday. We talked about this briefly when it came out like between two and 35 NC State players voted the first team we had Doug Drake Thomas Payton Wilson on at linebacker Tanner Ingalls safety Greg Gibson the center Devon Leary on offense and Leary also got preseason ACC player of the year honors. Plaintiffs on all day event to Devon they're right I understand Josh Downs twice honored wide receiver and specialist A-T Perry wide receiver for Wake Forest also on the on the team, but there were so many players that got player of the euros to have right so 1112 there were six that got double digit votes like I have to go back and look but I can imagine that we never had a year where there were six players that got double digit support for that so that I have seen a fair amount of people wondering how did Sam Hartman not get Mike Devon Leary was named the player of the year preseason player of the year, which is just a guess solid is a guess he got 24.4% of the vote three times as many people voted for somebody not name Devon Leary as voted Devon Leary so looking back last year's weird Sam. How had 114th votes right dear King was second with 11 to gotta give me the contrast between last year and this I mean we had so many candidates for that for that role for that dinner for that honor. So there's just no point. I give you where if people didn't want to in three main Leary could've gotten a ton of first-place votes for all we know that we have no idea how the whole thing would've played out. But anyway, I just don't think it's worth really being surprised that right. Let me throw this out yet because we saw something last night that is electric and it's just one of the best things in sports starling martinis walk off single and had the Mets sweep Yankees with a three to win last night, four times last night, four times Maxtor's are faced Aaron Judge and four times max one, the duly got them swinging in the third with a couple runners on again in the fifth with the bases empty. Then in the seventh Mets with her to nothing lead to on two outs. Here's this mashers was incredible last night but it was sort of like saying he was lucky he was incredible when he had to be incredible because they had the Yankees actually hit a bunch of balls hard came close to scoring some runs when matchers are needed out he got and the pictures that he threw to Aaron Judge last night were nasty. I mean, nasty sliders, and on that that confrontation in the seventh inning and I contend there is nothing better in sports, then easily picture versus elite hitter in a top spot in a dramatic situation. Seventh-inning go-ahead run at the plate in the form of Aaron Judge the major-league leader in home runs who homered the night before against the Mets and you've got one of the best pictures still in the game and matchers are at edge. It was just awesome. A great confrontation and you know at judges good. When you share those B-flat out going away to share those but it didn't happen last night and I swear that sure is or was pitching around DJ LeMay you to get the judge like he liked to the matchup better against Judge and he did against LeMay you but just think another good night of baseball in New York I made dramatic two teams are really good maybe to the best four teams in the sport and maybe they'll meet again in the plate. Will the devil get to meet again this year. There's another two-game series in August, but maybe they'll meet in the playoffs and the World Series that would be awesome for Mets and Yankees fans, but I think it was just absolutely incredibly assures her churches line from a secret because he was on the injured list for like seven weeks is made five start since coming back from the 32 1/3 innings of lot that five earned runs a lot. 1.39 ERA that's very low 45 strikeouts for walks 23 this I mean you gotta be kidding me. That's just stupid right he's made it easy. He's got at least six innings in all five start since coming off the IL so he's been just tremendous Yankees made a trade. After the game last night to get into bed attendee from the Royals for three prospects. The only problem with that for the Yankees isn't that of been intended doesn't meet Mr. McDonough then future games against the Blue Jays in Toronto are compromised because he can't go. He was one of the Royals players who couldn't go to Toronto, Lisa got 13 I think or something like yeah they had like 13 players going yeah my just know I just don't understand I don't I'm sorry I don't because it is possible the Yankees and Blue Jays could meet in the playoffs.

Those would be difficult games to miss me. I guess you maybe you can just move on without injury been intended, but the module trade for. That's just a question. This is the atom gold shell June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became 25th anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen
