You will divide Charles Barkley. No, no, no, Matthew McConaughey is wrong on dry earlier today in the skies a bit of a mystery. You look at his hairdo used to have back with the Giants and how that transformed with the Jaguars. Everybody has that stage get on the Florida things get a little weird up top and now what is rocking here in Charlotte.

That's a bit of a mystery. Also, what is good to do all offensively bit of a mystery to, as he was talking about just a few hours ago, but before we get to that sound. Just remember, we haven't seen him with this type of personnel before we haven't seen Ben Mackie do run things with the team that looks quite like this one. He was once the quarterback coaching ring that they've got things shall I say a little bit more figured out at the quarterback position than the Carolina Panthers currently do when you look at the New York Giants at that point Eli Manning get already won two super Bowls, so he was established and in Jacksonville they were taking a team wasn't trying to win, but if you look at the numbers that Gardner meant you had his rookie year Mackie do not abet quarterbacks coach the personnel is what you need to be focusing on a good coach heat molds and often surround his personnel rather than vice versa, is a size fit all off and I think the Mac is a good quarterbacks coach and a good offense of coordinator. How else can you explain when he took over the Giants, not as the head coach of the office of coordinator they went from the 28th ranked offense in the NFL with top 10 office immediately, and Eli Manning had two of his three best statistical seasons in the two seasons that Matt could do was calling plays here was been today saying how things are going to be a lot different in Charlotte versus the offices that I've he's run in the path is a lot were looking at right now. But the biggest thing I don't want to do is rush to rush to judgment over when our office is going to look like the only authors there were in a put out there is normal or different primary offense that you see me involved with in the past, such as because our players are different. That doesn't mean we have a bunch of new plays we didn't have in the past is going to try to do our best job tailored to the players we have. Don't forget that again good coaches adopt styles to personnel, not the other way around. John Calipari, one of the best coaches in college, coach K the last decade and the one done every year you have different players and Duke and Kentucky through different offenses out there that's what great coaches are able to do. I expect it to be a run first ball control offense, which is strange because that's not what we seen for Mackie to run things.

Usually they run out of the gun. Usually their high paced, I think there was one your with the Giants 65% of the snaps were no huddle out of it were to see that with the Carolina Panthers because none of those teams that I talked about before, had Krista McCaffrey on it.

The Giants best running back the two years that Maccabee was the head coach Shane Vereen and Wayne Goleman I was before Sycuan Barkley arrived the Packers and Jean starts running back and again I think that guy was good to some pretty good things it quarterback in greenback the one they had their so and still have today. Krista McCaffrey is a unique talent so I'll be interested to see what he does with McCaffrey. You might be concerned about usage and whether or not you will be able to play only playing 10 games in the last couple of seasons, but were not talking about any breaks or tears or surgeries with McCaffrey when he plays he's really good and they have a little bit more depth so that if McCaffrey is not in the game on a certain play or God forbid, he gets injured is not able to play well. You have options.

That's why you pick up Beyoncé Freeman in free agency. That's why you draft Cuba hovered a year ago. Going into a second year in Charlotte, you don't want to ask any of these quarterbacks to win the game for you. So I think run control zone running scheme offense run first ball control that's what you're looking at with binoculars office but it's still a mystery like his hair like his facial hair. It's a mystery what's gonna happen with this Panthers offense. I don't think it's a lot either McDonald's get to be the starting quarterback bracket.

It was high on corral. I was told corral was the highest quarterback on his board go back to 2018. Right after Matt could do was fired he was talking to the New York Post, they asked him the your fired you want to use these grades that you have now.

How did you grade the quarterback class that was number one pick Baker Mayfield Sandor that was a top three pick after that was Josh Allen Josh Rosen Lamar Jackson apparently Mackie do didn't have Donald in his top two maybe not even his top three. If memory serves correct guess we did have one into Josh alum one Lamar Jackson to pretty good evaluation and both Donald and corral are learning a new offense, so maybe that's a bit of an equalizer when I hear people talk about comps for corral. I hear Russell Wilson's income up a bit because Russell was a bit undersized really quick release you don't coach that we rattle quick release. If you don't will Dalton check the producer of the drive got a lot to do today. B.he's good to be in studio with us in about 20 minutes shifting things along here about we get to the MBA. So this is the bothersome we have a tendency leave that sport to overfocus on the superstars, which is understandable how the sports market when they put games on TV. It's not the Celtics are playing the lawyers know it's playing Jason Tatum as if these other guys don't exist. Lebron's going up against Kevin Durant or whoever it might be isolated. Sport is marketed, you can't win without one of those guys so I guess it's understandable. That's the way the people talk about it. However, when you get to this point in the playoffs. The NBA finals. Both teams they have stores don't get to this point.

You want stores so there's a good chance when you exclusively focus on them. You might miss some important keys to the series, and when I look at this series.

The key matchup to me that you should be keeping a really close eye on because I think it's going to decide this series. How does Golden State respond to the size of the Boston Celtics. This sounds like an old, beaten down, take Golden State.

How many times are people going to complain that the warriors are small and only to have the lawyer still with another thing you need to remember this is a big concern that I have and we been saying this all playoffs will Golden State in the final.

This is not the team that won 73 games six years ago. Is this not Betty.

Their older there close to the end of their prime.

The guys were still around from that team.

Kevin Durant is in on this team either. Not the 17, 18, 19 teams were talking about here. This is a different Golden State Warriors team and the lawyers have caught some breaks this postseason when it comes to matchup the guys they avoided Phoenix North face DeAndre eight Pedro Dallas in the conference final and 11. His eyes either you drew. You didn't have to face Utah and really go bear yes you are junkets, but that he was missing a ton of guys due to injuries, catching breaks you got Memphis was physical but not really bit that Stephen Adams can play in that series to keep them on the floor. Golden State deserve some credit for that. But I don't have a tough want to do. The way that Boston does. When I look at this lawyers roster I see one guy who is taller than 6 foot six that place.

One guy taller than 6 foot six that's come on, not even one of your best players Boston has four guys over 67, but that actually play for your Robert Williams great job like health going to be dependent how good he is in the series, Daniel Tice, if you need him. Jason Tatum 6.8 it up smart these big four point guard its export physical Jaelyn Brown plays bigger than 6 foot six so when I look at this series, I think how Golden State deals with that physicality, not being as deep as they were when they won their championships before and not having the stylized advantage, but also not even just a couple of guys who are at 6869 that they could play on the floor. That's what I think is going to be key in the series. Still not feeling comfortable enough yet to think that Boston to pick Boston right now but I'm not confident enough to pick Golden State eat its it is very conflicting and it's going to be a great MBA final talk like a crazy person who has sexually-transmitted USGS boards followed a jury ruled in favor of Johnny that in his libel lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber heard I have not really been following this case, that closely but apparently people have been following it like it's the OJ trial or something really apparently so my brother he was at the beach all last week and every time I called to see what he was doing he was indoors watching Johnny Depp trial and another time I had something to talk to them about head of the bachelor party and he would say no I can't talk right now Johnny Depp getting cross-examined right now or something like that so yeah you go part due Pirates of the Caribbean movie anybody school. This will be the 61, number six, six that's me. I like drop like that, you drink mine through me.

But who cares if it's speaking of fits the Charlotte Hornets still haven't identified the fit for their head coaching job.

It does seem like there are three candidates at the top of the Westlaw with head coaching experience Mike D'Antoni Kenny Atkinson and Terry Stotts those of the top three but there was news last night had me thinking. Even though just a few weeks away, the draft, it would be good to have your coach. By the time the draft gets here. Maybe you could pump the brakes just a little bit longer guarding the store.

Why not just pump the brakes a little longer. Apparently Quinton Schneider. His future is uncertain with Utah Jazz they don't know if they're going to bring Quinton Schneider back and if the Utah Jazz don't bring Quinton Schneider back I would jump on that if I was Mitch Kupchak would you guy wins a lot of basketball games like a lot of basketball games and they been winning a lot of basketball games for a long time and he has ties to the state. Once upon a time he played at Duke and come to think of it I don't know of Michael Jordan's get a higher addict that will be interested. Mitch Kupchak and Michael Jordan here will bring you and but do you mind hanging out with us at Duke Carolina games and not wearing the dark color blue. By doing that significant part of the process bus Peterson cement room third threat would fill entire authority of the lesson. I like the picture Quinton Schneider sitting in that room and all five of them were wearing Carolina's church hey how comfortable you think you be working here that you want this job. Quinton yeah buddy of the contract on a shirt here for you Corrine now sign in the short you got to.

That's right. And you have to take a selfie to all of us.

Afterwards there was of the terms of the contract when Snyder is the guy who always looks like the villain in a movie that truly is not. He looks like a keynote look at that guy.

He's a fill in every movie he's the villain in the Spider-Man movie that's now he looks like he's straight out of the movie American psycho. He also looks like a wall. Wolf of Wall Street. All the characters in that movie like all the faces they make the eyebrows of the chief motions of the God of Wall Street. No. While we do that I have seen with Wall Street. Wall Street will have Josh that's what you need a few good men. The night I heard I was at last night did you don't move. I was always on Amazon prime. I haven't seen in a long time but I just remember the emotional attachment head to it. When I did see one of the most remarkable movies ever since we got.here might as well take care some business play grammar school. Josh Graham has his own way of speaking school even play sports. Just when you think it can't get anywhere with me in June you think the next Josh is going to attempt to learn because God's vernacular and the old street knowledge. You know what I mean you being God's grammar school where you it is proper grammar school and how are you Josh welcome back from your bachelor weekend for yourself. I did, I was on a plane listening to you and George the British Tar Heel do this last Friday you were trying to figure out some of the things in the UK. I probably go over three right of guys didn't know battered, come on bedrock that the drunk was I had no clue I had it made total sense. Once he said it, but then I was like when you gray segment like this one here absolutely meant what I had with three words or phrases per Josh Graham and yes just let you just have to let me know what I mean first offer, Comcast is worded to get if you want to be a help for me. Yeah, a lifelong restriction 2200 again 336-777-1600 number so fast and hard to even write about it though. I got an assist here from will W the same get every time some conversations that usually I have it that it felt like we needed to cappuccino Starbucks what type of drink that you go to Starbucks you like a grind day or tall yeah you can do that. Just like a tall one or I could you imagine if you asked me what is what is Mountain Dew and I thought to drink. You could just get what makes their big bottles are little bottle was next to the flapper treatment and my lifeline for beta only has one question. Have you guys know is not going to be his coffee is milk will is not to your coffee, cappuccino coffee coffee, nodding at him not look at okay cappuccino is a coffee with milk and no milk take the milk out. Or you could put milk in edger Kramer and only given it to him. That was exhausting is not put milk in it and you get a Starbucks is milk and of ravaging if you put it there is a specific way is made that makes enough strength to check the specific way that was what you and say what drives what, specifically, what is the specific flavor are you asking me and asking me to question the first one I told you what was in the property no now you're asking me for lifeline now because I've had to get affected. It's blended because that's what I meant when the lush green arrow) phallic I can' don't you dare forget that.'

Just as good job would your your lying like you could talk a bigger game than what you are your front or you just lying to somebody if I said that my shoes were red from front. I'm lying you said your shoes were read. That's Precious. Is there. Clearly, Duke blue, white and black, but if you said that your shoes caused $600 and they cost $300 front. That's right, but I still give you that congratulating it is trying to different if it's Capt. put his cabin on a grand scale like you're flying into link the review word link. This is Memphis line lick I heard this before, lick lick by three 607-1600 that's assigned to Josh needs assistance.

If you know what lick me 336-777-1600 and you can use will is a lifeline. Is it a noun is it that as a discrete human thought of Martine, can you hear not listed as a descriptor adjective with an adjective, a descriptor adjective.

The bit redundant. Clutter agitates things to describe something right. We got the just one of the non-descriptor adjective. I'd love to hear about them was that while listening to those listed urban dictionary and it is a descriptor adjective. I think the lifelines wanted to help will and so is this why doesn't somebody thinks they're slick no no you think now know okay I know that hope so. I don't think I'm going be able to help with.

I just waste you know your ears.

Click the 40s film Lord of the listeners slick no say is somebody that is a way is going the phone down somebody who is catchy or somebody is unreliable, slick is not really a person. It's a waste are solicited type but a mazelike or stored up for a little bit, but it can also mean very much or real is a let's go to the Jimmy John and I would say I slick hate Jimmy John oh I have a real yell at me and I really like. I really or a little bit I'm dead wrong. We are super off like I'm slick wrong. There we go there we go to Salem on the desert.

Okay, one last photo frame FT W for the when this is written in what you like, you know you have prefix and suffix. This is an empty heard of an infection with work a whole another wife, hold another.

How do you spell that a whole WHO LE-nothing in OT HDR in the state in the sentence were in the whole another yeah but if I did that then you miss talking as a poster prefix or suffix. I get it and can pick I can give you another example. I would appreciate that we damn ridiculous, like the analogy whole day like I call my try to finish the sentence note, you just tell me what I hold another meeting for what I would like your urine your annoyed all whole that's like a whole another deal. Now that's a like whole not be what you say you're saying that our purchasing somebody delete this point. I know I know it a different problem like that is a different headache a different problem. That's all whole another like you know Boston just got past Miami. But Golden State the whole another Amana bill. Give a man I didn't know is a refers to a subject that is vastly or categorically set apart from the previous subject very well done through on that today. Josh Brown good good and you are were infix with grammar school, we got a hold another segment, your lag, there we go is an infix like lick being honest great segment, not. Or maybe I'm frightened next anyone not on medication. Josh Graf defined WSJ sports you and I are about to have a lot in common segment.the people I miss my thought is, how many black movies have you seen one point for every movie there are 50 movies in the stone as I thought. I like I got asked Josh on many of the think it became 20 50.

I will say is damn good for Josh Graham and I got 47 full let's go through all 50 real quick on Catherine time on each one. Notes got art with number one boys in the hood and examine this, her accounts are from Thor. I mean no federal new Jack city yes Friday yes you write down menu getting Friday yes minutes society now choose yes above the room. No paid in full. Know the right thing – poetic justice, no dead presidents now hustle and flow yes house party. No wait, yes, house party, just waste the no ATU no love don't cost a thing when it can now Johnson family vacation know the will know Jason's lyric know I have the same Johnson family vacation me to move into the second round Kirkland know that is how high yes Valley no soul plane. Yes, the best man now from line yes more money, no white chicks absolutely moonlight. Yes, I've never seen moonlight.

I have what I have not seen the one that's been done at Lala land to the one that moonlight stomp the yard this Christmas know Chris Brown area, this baby boy. Now don't yes school days, now girls trip now.

Love the basketball yes just another girl on the RRT now. I've never seen nobody that his mother last list waiting to exhale now. Love Jones now get out. Yes players club now Baptist no boomerang, no Harlem nights now why did I get married.

No low-down dirty shame life yes coming to America. Yes, brown sugar know a thin line between love and hate now to come play that game. Now, that's it. You get 1017 things decent actually but I am disappointed.

There are some that you have a very, very Cloquet.

What's most glaring boys in the hood.

It's probably most lights in the hood boomerang and new Jack, now here's my excuse for not seeing boys in the hood, not God. I got it confused with straight out of Compton, which just came out.

So when people talk about boys in the hood. I thought they were talking about straight out of Compton Senokot became a recent Regina is now waiting on the 90s right I get it, but I'm just telling you that was my rationale will it is though because whenever there yet where the characters he's from Winston-Salem so you got to California and they talk to me like what you from North Carolina from Winston-Salem and this is like a aligned like all the love in a movie like that is what you choose. Do I can't believe you haven't seen dear Pres., I know that's another line got a great lease.

At least I recognize before we went into this, you stop being as I started looking at the list initiate and the first two that I looked at Bowser. All I got. I haven't seen these two dead presidents and you just said it. Dead presidents and not putting paid in full.

Pitiful.

You you never seen Floyd addresses meetings at Tsonga, slipped up with just a few simple I'm a big pot to parts and then JJ and I hope I don't know if it changes how big talk about Bishop Bishop and you climb the big pot thing a man ignorant deputy.

Why was it just on this list is that in a black movie. We hope we do not claim that food was enough. Kirkland know that's what the letter is a great live. It is a really good last 17 I think I think I did okay I think the strawman.

I bet you Britt you have the highest in the build I would agree with. Did you find new found respect for what we do on this show when you got a chance to host it yourself. A week ago absolutely absolutely manages going three hours talking nonstop is what it feels like and have not having to have direction and that but you know it was also because the audience help me through it.

I have some great folks to call up and you blessed me with some tickets to Chris rock was finding people call it the place for those never going to nine green sprouts go to great absolutely then you know I had some friends that I could tap into like a make me look good. Harry Giles, one of those people them. Amana, British, Tar Heel and Catholic grammar school that was one of the main things that actually when I was listening back to it.

Hearing how excited I got when I got one right. I totally understood what you do for excited her grandma's now respond on that I had a great time and I look for to get mayors on, trying to get married this month. So do you think about straight 17 days later. I know it was a year out, and here we are watching a crazy soccer game here in studio. That's was weird got a TV and here is a guy with a mastopexy scored and there's a bunch of white people yelling and cheering there happy their Scottish Scottish crap is that you crying and I don't think Regnier is that Ukraine is UK all oils. Could it mean all that is in there wearing yellow material might be.

I need to get me got into some other sports yummy like I was talking to Tom a second ago and I was explaining to him that even though I thought the canes get the rest good. I really didn't understand why am I was saying that they got beaten on penalty points and one event I don't know. I did know Tom hit me. A second is like my guy get into a penalty and no power-play sense how powerfully we go to the mold the sitdown by yourself in the box yet one that up like problem for anybody was explaining to two minute epidemic, and it was explaining to me that usually all season right. The canes had done well in those scenarios when one is not the point. Not in the playoff number in the regular season and then again here in the playoffs and they look like trash on the powerfully not good so I would like to learn more about hockey.

Moving forward, and I give them a target of doing great got a tasty baseball and we just hose if the state that I should deftly be involved more with the baseball then go this weekend.

It's in Chapel Hill.

They have liquidated the highest in the NCAA tournament play Friday, Saturday, Sunday and are not my money. I drive it for real. Saturday I have engagement but we know they're playing Friday and Saturday in Chapel Hill and all of its double the way it works is you get three teams from their 16 teams in the country to host a regional unit three other teams that comment and only one can move on to the next. Out of the four and then it's the best two out of three out of two teams that play each other in the next weekend and 1/2. Finally, would have Friday so limits on that heroin plays a family I didn't love the base by law, talk about going to schedule yellow light like a deer play-based tripping house. I bet you do like the charge on Friday what time the game will see the sibling to something as they play Hofstra at 2 o'clock) not to make their there you can work no baby. The six man fabric, yet sticks ma'am, I can make it on Friday and WDs going Saturday with the team up and go Sunday, you know what Hofstra's what you're hoping Jesse it's a double elimination tournament blank in the limited it's a double elimination south our guarantee playing Friday, Saturday, if you're playing Sunday there's a chance you could win the entire thing. Then if Carolina wins its first two games, then you know you know who Hofstra's mascot is no pride really the Hofstra. I brought my will got their home in the other two field advantage. The other two things that are in town. Georgia are they any good in baseball is evident icier Georgia what your VCU oh my pirates are hosting their Bradford Virginia Cavaliers and a couple others. I thought about going to Greenville America this weekend, but they are one of the top eight seeds, which means if they win this week and they're guaranteed to host next weekend to see Anna EC is good like that in baseball. They are like that, but their historically snake bit in distance. No team is ever been to more NCAA tournaments in baseball with out getting to the College World Series game one of the final eight teams. It's the final for essentially for college baseball minis Carolina a bit over 3035 tournaments and never have gotten to the College World Series. Maybe this is the year.receiving your buddy thanks for having sports or North Carolina-based phone companies Carolina graduate things are going to get wrapped not rowdy in Greenville America this weekend. North Carolina's hosting and hearing the triad. Specifically, we talked with Billy Godwin yesterday UNCG in the tournament for the first time in a while and Wake Forest baseball is going to College Park to face Yukon start things off Friday at 1 o'clock in here to join us and talk about his team is the 13th year head coach of the Wake Forest Demon deacons Tom Walter, not Tom Larry Sorensen was with us the other day and covering your team all year long. He said this team reminds him a lot of the one that won a regional five years ago in 2017. Even though you're not hosting this year and you don't have Gavin sheets on the roster. Last I checked deal like that comparison fair comparison era you looked arcuate. We had a lot of home runs. We score runs. Your excellent. Probably what we do best and I think that that defense on the is a little better than it was 2017.

You know what we did in 2017. We are part of our locations are certainly darker comparisons between the rent louder in our stars. You have a guard at the front of the rotation thought I could certainly see how there would be some harassment there but your point. You know that on the 2017 team. We had to do Fairchild and Gavin sheets mobility order and you know this game, we got Michael Ciccone Park located the current Sprint enchantment truck 15 might be a little deeper 139 remains to be seen whether we have the star power of those two guys in the middle like you did at 2070. I know I talked with Cliff Godwin out Easton's approach is always or at least some years pending on the team, depending on the matchup to picture 80's on Saturday pitch.

Maybe your second guy, depending on the matchup on Friday and also I'm always intrigued by bullpen management. This time a year.

What's your approach to the starters in bullpen management hortatory member worn down further work on him against you, you know that the register will retort for second before me. That's a really good baseball team you got 44 where their final test it against your tournament last four years in a row that your coaching staff so it got a good number one pitcher in Peterson so we are not outdoor number one on Saturday and I want for matchup that might be something we consider political right after our number one got contenders Yukon. Marilyn is a really good program to wait for us heading down over to College Park, Maryland with its region 1 o'clock first pitch against Yukon and a couple of days. The big story in the ACC this week is that NC State was left out first team left out you had comments earlier this week saying that surprised you in hindsight coach, how important do you believe those three games that you want it done Oakfield in Raleigh at the end of the regular season. Considering how things work out but I still think she would've gotten out there in order to change their skating in the conference tournament apportion and build at different matchup you have. We go and had we gone into the conference tournament thinking we needed to win the first two know would probably pitch that differently so it's impossible to say what would've happened in the tournament. Atlee had we not slept a great lecture, but again, we certainly needed to that weekend for sure to feel good about returning the chair in which children are PR I think we would've been fine. You know, I was surprised they didn't make it Medicare you know where watching games on Saturday and Sunday so that trouble you know start to attract more and more each day.

The tight time to come down to your conference and you know whether or not the same number change you not.

I went through believing in my heart probably would not award you more change. The mayor ordered yesterday. She felt like the committee would look at those two comforters you know pretty evenly and put the same number change so that they had another patient teaching and then we would add more to the FTC lecture that was something they were ready. We baseball chemist Tom Walters with this year asking about this the next time that we got you on June went to school at Georgetown in the early 90s were you going to attend the games that Alonzo mourning was playing in the absolutely I went for my first year at Georgetown we had morning in Mutombo lecture.

My first year Georgia I play to get Mutombo in the inability to know if you remember back in the very top 48 Mutombo as a prop. 48. She wasn't eligible to freshman so just if you haven't played a lot of basketball. They put a veneer merely just to get some experience. We got the face-off against the chair picture.

But yeah, I saw my work-study job. One of my work-study jobs was to was to work the arena for game day. I got to sleep. I got the FedEx course terrible for some Georgetown basketball game that was right next to Mary family academic coordinator or stairwell personal solid team prophylactic chip hold up to the transfer and a lot of first-hand knowledge of Georgetown basketball little sized Tom five.

How did that go Tom Walter in the paint versus one Mutombo
