Colors Bracket

This is dry when Josh Graham podcast Drive weekday afternoons 3 to 7 supporters of Triad we are loaded with football and plenty of fun today in the NFL. It's been a big game of quarterback musical chairs this week Tom Brady going to Tampa Philip Rivers in the fold. Chicago Marcus Mary Yoda to Vegas, Brian Tannehill, staying at Tennessee. Boy it's hard to keep up with everything and of course Teddy Bridgewater arriving here to the Carolinas. However, running out of chairs for cam Newton the potentially land in by the time music stops and I think I still feel comfortable with the pick. I have for cam Newton's landing spot but as of right now Robert Walsh. There are only two places I could realistically see him playing at this point, I've acknowledge the favorite but there's also a door course that we haven't spent a lot of time talking about what's of course talk about the favorite. The Los Angeles charters.

I still believe it's going to be the charters. I don't know on a timeframe yesterday. They had the report. Ian Rappaport put it out there saying that they don't plan to add a veteran quarterback.

Instead, they're going to move forward with Taira Taylor. They might pick a quarterback number six in the draft right before the Panther selection. I don't necessarily buy they wanted a store in Brady they were going to put them on posters they were trying to get butts in seats at this new stadium that's gonna be marvelous in Los Angeles and you mean to tell me that in the span of 24 hours. There might just change they said that would Taira Taylor were good while they are still a store who is obtainable at this moment. I think strongly that information that they gave the Rappaport is a smokescreen. I think they want to communicate to the Panthers that they're knocking to trade for cam there not to give the Pampers anything since Carolina has already showed all of its cards when they signed Teddy Bridgewater and had all those statements from Kearney. David Tupper their marketing and social media departments. Thank you for all your time with the Panthers all it was quite a run. We wish you the best of luck.

It told the entire league that if they don't trade for him. He's gonna be cut. He's gonna be released. I don't know the time frame on that that could happen sometime sooner as it can happen closer to the draft, the charters they can be patient.

You already said Taira it's good to be the guy right now they're not planning to add a quarterback, but plans can change number Carolina said a few weeks ago. Yeah, we fully expect cam Newton to be on the roster. That rule absolutely wants to coach Kami did all the interviews, the entire circuit plans changed when another quarterback became available that they preferred over cam that quarterback be in Teddy Bridgewater so that's what I predict is going to happen here. They're not good trade from but there's just too much, too much of a fit for think cam is not good to be in Los Angeles lifestyle fit football for all the suits cam Newton war his flair, his interest in television doing the kid show going on a game show great during his press conferences, polish, good-looking, handsome guy, perfect for Los Angeles football fit he is familiarity with trade turners one of his best friends from the Panthers. He's going to be playing golf. It's of guard you already invested in Brian Malaga, the left tackle from Green Bay Packers. You have a number six pick. You can continue to push forward and try to win now with cam at the controls.

I do see too many pro pros here to think that the charges are out of this so that is still my pick. However, I said there's a door course here.

I believe the only other team I realistically see cam Newton signing with an starting game one for this year to be the Miami Dolphins. They are the door course it's an upgrade from Ryan Fitzpatrick who has one year left on his deal. They have the Space to do it third in the NFL in Space at the moment they had an upswing.

Towards the end of the year remember the last week of the regular season. They beat New England and FoxPro.

They finished with five wins even though they led the NFL and dead. I think they had $66 million against the dead Income on everyone thought they were taking. They started winning games with the first-year coach. Now it's your two friend to have some decent young players, some decent weapons lifestyle fit would work as well for cam, and it could be a good bridge quarterback to have someone develop under if cam has success. Okay, you're not rushing along this QB if he's ready for a second year. Maybe you could trade in the same way the Kansas City Chiefs traded away Alex Smith after they knew they had patina homes behind him.

If he is a good year you can franchise him and somebody's going to take that contract if cam shows any resemblance to the quarterback we saw before he injured his shoulder and injured his foot. You can tweak the show at sports and try 336-777-1600 is the phone number so the Chargers I think of the favorite the Dolphins. A door course I can't rule out the Washington Redskins, albeit I just don't see it, they are top 10 Space Ron Rivera is there. Thomas Davis is there, but they're already paying Alex McFly, believed to be the richest contract at the moment you got Duane Haskins under contract as well. It just seems like a bit much at that position to add cam to that mix.

I don't see the Cincinnati Bengals be in a team because you already got Andy Dalton on the roster and you want to be concerned about his injury problems. If you want to have a veteran quarterback in front of Joe Borough well you have one already under contract. So if you trade them away. I don't see you adding cam to that fold the Jaguar same reason you could've done it with Nick. It seems there dead set on playing Gardner Minshew stripping things down tanking meaning going to shorter contracts and cheaper contracts. Minshew's contract is dirt cheap. The Jaguars also are not in the top 15 or 16 in terms of salary cap space neither are the Cincinnati Bengals. Then there's the New England Patriots. As we discussed with Belmonte Jones yesterday that doesn't seem like something that fits either from a brand perspective.

Cam's brand versus the patriots brand that city welcoming cam Newton the way they welcome some of their pro athletes. I thought this was very interesting from Bo yesterday. If you miss that this is how that sound and have obligated right now.

They arrived the broader New England patriot try to look into every portal radio segment that they had the probate. Let me know how'd that go by that had started by doing in the business of being honest and accurate. I said my blog is left tackle. He's a right tackle.

We got John force what is going to join us are good friends and the hurricanes in a little over 20 minutes. Do not drink a guest on today show, the voice of the Panthers picnics and a guest on today's shelf it's day for of our five brackets and five days reviving March madness our own special way. We had the 90s kids bracket yesterday before that romantic comedies 2000's pop music today might be the strangest one of the week.

It is our colors bracket.

Yes, colors.

Let's get to the first region is visiting team use a sports on Friday.

Colors Crayola reach where the number one seed is candy apple red going up against 16 fetid cobalt candy apple red strongest of all the read the strongest of any team in the field. They easily went in the first round 819 Robert Buechel versus why just because I used to illegally download music off of LimeWire.

I've got a push line through the first round M&Ms hold discography off of I don't know. I got a gold is a four seat facing 13 fetid lavender. I think gold might be a bit overrated, but they do when in the first round teal feel the teal 15 facing army green is a 12 seed.

I think this is a top first-round matchup between two teams familiar with each other to green but teal shouts. The UNC W wins in row number one carton 16C facing 11 seated burgundy. I just think burgundy is a little bit more pristine. I think it's a more common color than Cardinal confuse the Stanford Cardinal thickener. The Cardinals at something that bothered me as a kid, so I'm going burgundy to pull off the 11 six upset I'm Ron, maybe 1/3. See facing fourth-seeded peach. Could you imagine if the Navy football team faced peach Mario character whole team of the triple option versus Pete maybe is through neon yellow versus sapphire.

I love sapphire.

I think about Rose throwing the sapphire off of the boat at the end of the movie get fired up about Titanic that really bothers me sapphire advances here. White versus copper right through to the second round sapphire, though, take down white to go to the Sweet 16. Burgundy versus maybe it's all maybe I look great in that color got have an advanced goal versus the I said gold is a little over seated a little overrated. Teal takes advantage and you got a 5C, going on to the Sweet 16 candy apple red beef lime what you got Robert candy apple red versus teal.

This is the toughest matchup. I think of the entire Crayola region and especially if you mix those two together, you're going to get sore from lacquer blue and this was gonna happen in these match of the beat each other up, but I think candy apple red comes on top but with a few more scrapes and bruises candy apple red through to the elite eight. Net may be versus sapphire a couple of blues. It is a battle of the blues we can appreciate that in the state of North Carolina. Maybe just a stronger color. They have no problem doing the dirty stumpy up there the darker shade of blue.

You know they don't mind playing in the shadows Navy. There onto the elite eight. I think it's candy apple red winning in this region because I think of Tiger Woods on Sunday mad. He's got that Sunday red and it is candy apple red.

Most times are not. So I like candy apple red to advance to the final four run Swanson off Parks and Recreation. So after he has a great night at his wife.

Beware candy apple red sure and is the strongest one seed in this competition is not a mean this is as advertised. We expected them to do this. Yes, they did exactly what they needed to get the final four coming up how I expect Tom Brady's Tampa Bay chapter. I don't know why put the emphasis on the sad how I expect this next chapter of Tom Brady's career to affect his legacy.

This is the drive is okay. Thank you, Josh Gray Fox sports hub triad were still waiting for the official announced a Buccaneers saying that Brady has joined the squad also were waiting for the new color scheme and uniform changes with a Buccaneers as well. A popular take. I've seen on social media from people who just don't like change, I think, but also people who love Brady and the patriots the last two decades. Is this all Tom leaving the Tampa it's gonna ruin his legacy. It's going to tarnish what was seen to be the greatest career quarterbacks ever had in the NFL. That's garbage Tom Brady's legacy is not going to be tarnished one bit. Regardless what happens with the Buccaneers.

He can only further. His legacy by separating from Bella check and having some success. He can only further what we already know about Tom and what we believe about Tom with the big year with the Buccaneers, like I think it's can happen to I see the story from today that says there are several players who are reaching out to the Buccaneers who want to join the team because Brady's now on it this doesn't surprise me. We see it in the NBA all the time all bronze playing there real and maybe will take a pay cut in order to be on the Miami Heat look at those, 13 and 14 heat rosters and you'll see guys were just taking pay cuts. David West took a pay cut in order to be on San Antonio in order to be on the Golden State Warriors. You see players willing to join greatness and are willing to take a pay cut in order. The way my guys went to New England when otherwise why would you go to New England you want to go to the patriots even at the risk of having to change her lifestyle and handle things.

The patriot way with the air quotes you were willing to do that and be subservient the Bella check if it meant you got a Super Bowl ring you went to the playoffs that you had success. It was a line of players who wanted to be a part of the Brady Bella check patriot monster that had been around for 20 years. When you look at Tampa Bay this year you caught weapons weapons that Brady hasn't had nearly a decade.

He threw for 4000 yards last year. Don't give me this nonsense about him having the same QBR rating as Janus Winston, I know Brady's numbers weren't great. The final 10 games of the year bought you got to consider who is throwing. You gotta consider whether Flanigan Boxborough playing in the Northeast to be a problem in Tampa Bay and not have to worry about that. Oh were going to a dome to New Orleans were to go to Dome in Atlanta were to play in Charlotte this that's a lot better than going to Buffalo in December.

Better then having to face the Jets in New York or make it New Jersey right it's a totally different dynamic. The weapons are different.

This scene is different.

This is a franchise last year and what 79 and they lost six of their nine games by one possession.

Yeah quarterback and turned it over interceptions, 30 times last year Brady. He said 29 pics in the last four seasons. Combine. So this is going to be a playoff team. I think you can get better.

Their few moves away from being a contender, Trent Williams, I'd acquire them from the Redskins for a second round pick Todd Gurley I read something the day where the accelerated For him is good to have the rams on the hook for all of his guaranteed money.

So while it's a fat contract for a running back doesn't work out you could come at any point without knowing him a guaranteed dine so I think this Buccaneers roster in the next three or four weeks. It's gonna be bolstered to be a contender but in the way of Brady's legacy. Let's just say it does awful say I go five and 11 this year and were just like all man Brady's washed when you go back and think of the greats think about the negatives, even if it's the most recent thing you saw. Like when we think about Elvis thinking about fat Elvis about fat Elvis that died in the bathroom stall were thinking about the guy who's doing weird things with his legs in the 50s were thinking about carrying nothing but a hound dog about the movies that he does that he did write thinking about how it ended. When you look at the legends of the Joe name if you're not thinking about the Chargers in San Diego.

When John Unitas you're not think about that. He ended things San Diego as well. Think about the Chiefs when you hear Joe Montana's name thinking about the lady the wizards years when you're talking about Michael Jordan. That's the same things could happen would Brady. He won six super Bowls. Here is the greatest of all time.

That's not to change regardless of what happens here with It can only get better not worse for Tom thoughts are welcome on twitter export subtract 236-777-1600 the number John Foresman. The voice of the Carolina hurricanes go to join us in 10 minutes when a fascinating a fascinating life story and tied to the coronavirus that I think you will find very interesting when he stops by. Also one of NBC Sports national NHL commentators North Carolina co-sportscaster of the year.

Can we hear speaking of Tom Brady Dick Vitale's reaction biked out massive Tampa Bay rays fan massive box man lives in Sarasota, Florida.

We've had Dick on many times here and you think college basketball when you think of Dick. But I see them all over the place. It was weird seeing Dick five.

How on NFL network yesterday talking about Tampa Bay rays baseball think about that, but I dug a rays baseball on the NFL network.

This was Dickie's reaction to the news that his Buccaneers had brought Brady into town. Everybody was so well once why sales is so players is returned to the books are just that she's hopeful John 20 10010. Yes, you will grow let's go will will I love that guy.

I'll never stop loving Dick biked out never but as the Buccaneers are adding Tom Brady here are some of the sterling signings. The Carolina Panthers made according to average after the Panthers this breaking news Robert have brought in former Saints wide receiver Keith Kirkwood to a one year deal. The kids have a reaction to that news.

If you don't believe the Carolina Panthers are tanking. I just give you that piece of information. Also, who, losing to be lining up next to potentially Panthers also have signed to a one-year contract.

Seth Roberts awesome stuff. So John Foresman he's a great friend of ours voice of the canes he might have the craziest tide of the coronavirus pandemic, at least in terms of sport in this entire state and he will join us to tell us about providing you with the latest sports news, commentary and analysis plus tips on how to cheat at bingo you're on the drive with Josh Gray sports hubs right before we get the John Foresman a quick announcement. I've been asked to pass along the Greensboro chamber.

This put this out on it. Social media each day right here sport sub triad is going to error brief announcements for local businesses about revised hours different or limited services delivery and take-out options and other information you want out to the public.

It's a free service for local businesses.

While some of these brief announcements were to have during the day if you want your local business and you need that information put out email us at sport sub triad@curtismedia.com John Foresman now with us and I think you're involved with the scary portion of a sports tie North Carolina to the coronavirus but the Carolina hurricanes are involved with one that was very, very good to say the least, something that has us very positive and optimistic about where were headed with all of this, but John for those who may not know you're tied to this story outline what this last week is been for you. Well Josh last Thursday wearing yellow we decided it was spending play. We are headed back from New Jersey and I was on the bus just getting ready to get to the airport and not on our staff people get on the bus and that some people believe in the back and said yelling out news for me and I really didn't know what to expect.

It didn't look like it was going to be good news, and he just informed me that you know I occupied the same hotel room in Detroit as a lot of Utah Jazz players so you said your life change will, but now you make some changes in diet, some questions and they made provisions got clearance from their doctors for me to be on the team plane and fly home but got on the phone with my doctor and you know based on the fact that you have any symptoms as of yet, that I was eligible to be tested. I was under. I just assume that I could get tested because it was directly exposed to it.

Someone who had tested positive for it. But that wasn't the case. So had to go to self quarantine were at the end at home. Here since the last Thursday and all clear on Sunday and then on Monday morning. I'll be able to join the world again in the battle against the virus. Did you know what was happening in Oklahoma City as this was taking part. Did you know about what the what the positive test of go bare leg to yeah. I mean, where are you now we are in New Jersey ready to play the devils on Thursday so that would've been Wednesday night and yeah just based on social media. The way the news gets out today and I never heard of them before I did not realize I don't really follow the league and then you know I saw that their gain has been suspended and include why Ellie Flink started coming in about what he kinda did have a couple of days earlier to try to make fun of the press conferences late reporters are getting sequestered away from you know there their subjects and kinda like what we call now social distancing. It's a common phrase. Now all the sudden but anyway that's how it all came together, but that I went to sleep and then I get up in the morning on Thursday and was prepping for the game just with the outside chance at the league NHL might maybe get one more game and I was feeling inevitably distinguished going to be shelved. Once the MBA suspended.

I figured the NHL has the file suit but they waited till the next day they had a conference call that one Eastern time with the board of governors, all the owners are Gary Bettman suspended play and that's what we headed home. And that's when I got the new salt.

I was aware and I was also aware that they were there. We knew that they had occupied the same dressing areas is the players that little fusion arena and but Tampa Bay was with their son David jazz at plate there Saturday night they play the Red Wings on Sunday. Hurricanes like the Red Wings on Tuesday believe been there for a couple of days so we knew they were there but nobody would've thought of this and that makes us cross reference the rooming list and I lost reverse lottery John Foresman's with us here DNS in May North Carolina co-sportscaster of the year before we get to the positive angle of this when I believe to be positive. How are you feeling and are you still self quarantine and self quarantine through Sunday, so it has been 14 days and so okay I don't have any symptoms on fighting some allergies right now based on the weather and the fact that you know everything starting to bloom a little bit for spring and you know that under normal circumstances it would even bother me because I get it all the time but with this, you wondering analysis.

This is due to may be a possible late outbreak of this you just don't know but I don't have any of the symptoms of warning signs in my doctor told me to be on the lookout for God so we just got plow through and I'm in my basement at my house and where I have been just totally quarantined off no contact with anybody in the way it is through Sunday. What response have you gotten from the canes because we are aware of course of the news this week that the team will be compensating PNC arena of event staffers making up for home games that are going to be mass at which I you know seen from afar and I think it's great and they're there going right in concert with so many teams and all the sports were figuring out a way to do this.

Great moves by major league baseball. The MBA Mark Cuban was the first owner right away to say he would do something for his people and that was that was great and then the canes took a few days to figure out you know what they wanted to do but I knew that they wanted to do this for all the arena workers in other seven home dates remaining, I believe so there to be compensated for that that's that's terrific. I haven't had much contact with the team. I spoke with the president GM Don Waddell. I think last Saturday. Haven't heard anything since John Foresman's with us here to be assents with the most productive things you been able to do while quarantine there hasn't been much you know to be honest with you. This is different. You know, because of what's happening in the world. I've been paying strict attention to the news, it may be too much. I think if this were maybe later in this process or just a normal sickness got for that state say he had you not be quarantined and be in isolation like that she would probably figure out a way to deliver more reading than usual, maybe work on something I don't watch a lot of television just trained. They up to date with the ever-changing global climate if you will, and I got to in college and once home from Pennsylvania on my oldest is a consummate a grad student she's on her way back today got one in high school were just trying to figure out you know what's happening next terms of their lives to their upside down and you know I've done a variety of these things interviews people been kind enough to have me on like yourself. I think it's important because I just want to stress that everyone you know this am not a hero by any stretch, any kind of martyr or anything like that just doing what I've been told to do. I just hope people do that, you know we been told to do things as citizens. Let's do it. It's flat this thing out and get back to it as quickly as possible. Some kind of normal life. I think this is important to have you one because for me. I was at the Greensboro Coliseum with everything shut down at the ACC tournament a week ago today, but even then okay you take the precautions because of what happened in Oklahoma City the previous night and the MBA shutting things down.

It wasn't until I saw the news with you Johnny that I that it became very real for me. You know in the state of North Carolina.

The people know who you are today might not have heard of Ruby go bear in mind, I have a tiger with so that's why I wanted to have you on.

Also as a return took it said you have some free time between now and Sunday if you need any television shows or movies to watch. I mean where your show here were were were people who can help you out in that regard.

I know everybody's going great with all these recommendation have a few books and people dropped off a couple here and read a couple and I'm just working through one right now but I'm not a big movie guy and I'm not a big binge watcher of Netflix and television series and all that stuff and pretty one-dimensional during my professional time and pretty one-dimensional during our personal time in the off-season, so I just you know that in the off-season, I'm totally dedicated everything I can do for my family that I missed during the season and during the season. As you know, I think I just I'm watching hockey almost every night, busiest time, no yeah I'm working a lot to I was working a lot, and I just finished a long stretch, one stretch.

I did 18 919 eight different cities and that was the busiest I've ever been so I'm throwing on the brakes, which is way different than usual feels weird at this time of the year but will just have to wait and see. There's bigger fish to fry here. This is major major circumstances we've never seen before country and its global society.

So let's get everybody back to normal again and then we can worry about writing sports or to play such a vital role in propping up the country again. It's going to be a lot of fun to be part of that Johnny this is good to hear your voice and glad to hear you're doing well and thank you so much for joining me today to appreciate. Thanks. Keep up the good work and if you can.

I know you will use your medium to to get what you need to get to the people and be of service out there because I can't reinforce enough we have to stand together. Through this we had to stop picking sides and just acted in the country for change. Absolutely. Thank you Johnny, you got it. He's on twitter at Giancarlo and send him some nice thoughts because you know it's not every day that you have somebody on that you know a week for five days after sleeping in a hotel room he found out that the guy who basically got sports canceled across the United States was sleeping and that same bed the night before so really strange circumstance and I think a place that you could start is where I started the segment talking about local businesses you know it's it's imperative you could still shop local. You can't it if you about have a gift card that's the way to go about it. I think I was talking to Sarah Bradford about this in no. 68% of money spent at local and small businesses stay in the area and what what happens to Main St. in Winston-Salem. If nobody supports what happens to friendly center in Greensboro and all these hotspots with local locations for us to visit just because you can't sit inside a restaurant but say go inside a store doesn't mean you can't support them. So I reiterate what John Foresman said right there. Let's let's take a step back. Let's get through this together. I'll tell you the three ways cams tenure with the Panthers will be most remembered by us as media in the state and our Carolina Panthers fans even. Heck, maybe even nationally as well.

If you don't give a rip about the is next on the real sports fan turns everyone it touches integrating psychotic call sports well sometimes drive with Josh Graham time to be alive when you see NFL players were just quarantined in their houses, with nothing to do but we especially when there is news regarding them so septa reported that Todd Gurley has just been released by the Los Angeles ramp. While the Tarboro North Carolina native just took the Twitter a few minutes ago and he said, quote damn I got fired on my day off hashtag quarantine and she'll Jordan. Rodrick brought a tweet from her a short while ago to the audience where he essentially said that the Carolina Panthers are having difficulty trading cam Newton's contract shocker after you put out all the graphics in such saying that he's essentially not to be a panther to be moving off of them. Thank you for your service.

All that stuff and that she expects that cam is going to be released very soon. Those are the words that she set on a social media account. Lucky for us, we have Jordan Rodrick with us here on the show. It's good to have you back will get to some food in a bit food and football.

One of our favorite segments to do with you, Jordan, but who do you believe ultimately pulled the trigger on or pulled the plug on the probe cam narratives that we heard at the combine to essentially move off of cam and now eventually. This is good and within not be on the roster because Teddy Bridgewater's here to pick anything Matson. Second of all that you know you think it why they somewhat fluid circulation for quite some time where you had to talk about all of its option as it pertained to cam Newton and obviously one of that action would have been running 2020 and that would've been at Cunningham that meeting now. I also believe can trade and that the training of that fateful press release kind of dictated that there is a lot of pain and more information.

Trickle out.

There's a lot of different areas that would picking over the last several months building and kind of like the company line to get a house account how well I think that people are about right now. Thank you healthy right now. Everyone can think that you may think that you know healthy and I don't either.

The complicated situation you think that you know there are a lot of conversations that I write on messy is the keyword that it was an Jordan story talking about cams exit that you can find at the athletic Carolinas over the last month and 1/2.

What do you believe to be the team's biggest public misstep.

Was it something that happened this week, or something that happened prior to that I think the training is bad press really say get information here, implying that he asked for permission so I don't think it a great way of framing. It also implies a cam Newton's calling GM's is going to be like Joe was going on.

Howie Roseman what you got going on in Philly like it doesn't and it didn't make much sense.

We all kinda knew what it was I think I don't even think I can't wait a while for the trade. That's the impression I have no and I got the ball rolling. In that regard. I think that was something he took offense to because he didn't want it to turn out like kind and I go to situation where there will perception out there that was mutual. What actually mutual so I don't know complicated man like a lot of hurt feelings that the perception that I've been getting on the phone you know 24 hours are sterile and I think that I think I think I know having a hard time traded now pocketed down.

That kind of thing.

You're finally shrinking last year's nobody's cover the Panthers as closely as you have. I think you and your coworker Joe person who we of course have on quite often, but I be interested to know just her feelings, reflecting on cams time with the Panthers, especially after reading your story yet you included an excerpt where you said Newton taught me something very important early in my career. You can feel messy about someone or something moment things can be messy and complicated and can hurt in a lot of ways people will never know. But that doesn't that that doesn't affect how you should treat people so went when you're trying to process everything.

How would you process your time covering K well Mikey right. I don't think I've learned my in my head about people and their complexity. Next time covering handicap there a lot of layers in a lot of level grow very lacking public and content painfully talent. I think that that's a really hard thing. When I appreciated that he would not trade having to do that now and wholeheartedly cracked grout very publicly in time making a I think that that's admirable to be able to complete it tried you all the best version of yourself and thereafter, no matter what you got.

Matter what people say about you like wow and I think that it extremely important when people take part in Carolina – one, two quick things I want to get you on the way out some fun stuff here we have so in the trial. We were expecting to have March madness games played in Greensboro for the first time in a long time but there's no March. Madison went to AA tournaments all week long we been doing our own personal brackets. Each day we had 2000 pop music on Monday. We have romantic comedies.

On Tuesday we had yesterday. It was the 90s kid show bracket today. It is the colors bracket. We have one more region. The knockout were going to do that and five minutes but among the final four teams right now you got candy apple red sky blue and hot pink out of those three which one does Jordan Rodrick prefer okay Romanian how wide-open that when I California and different shade out there all right. And lastly, see everybody's reinforced indoors so people are figuring out how good or bad they are as cooks. I think you're somebody we've even seen it like it was you was a Bradberry you and you and him were cooking steaks with yeah that would make a great state so you are one of the people I closely associate with food knowledge somebody who appreciates good beer, good food, good culinary experiences but if you're in your own home European task with the wood making a good meal quickly. What's your go to really and you making Ramen and not like the pack around kind around and he and really kind of intricate brown. Anything that takes some time now that I'm practicing for anything I have had more time to try to make different type of rock and that it really good for your interest in thinking that think like four or five hours you and that you can keep vegetable the absolute best know you're busy. Thank you so much for doing this and that's Jordan Rodrick she's on twitter at Jordan Rodrick reader stuff in the athletic Carolinas will get more Carolina Panthers thoughts from the voice of the Panthers Mick Mixon joins us in a little over 30 minutes. So we have breaking news to get to at the top of the hour nor five things at five. I think there are two places I could realistically see cam Newton plank when he is released at the cuts, the day that this all happened a few days ago I said that it feels like it's been a month.

It's been just a couple of days when that happened I thought we were headed towards a place where he's going to be released.rated so I think that's gonna happen when it does, Jordan Rodrick says it can happen very soon. There are two places I could realistically see them playing one that I think the clear favorite. The other is a dark course that we haven't spent much time talking about will get that in the final region of our colors bracket Josh grandma sports triad the most about cam Newton's tenure with its crazy the first thing that came to mind me came to mind for me is cam suits I'm trying to think my favorite one was Robert using these things.

I've been in so many cam press conferences and the orange one that was paying homage to dumb and dumber really sticks out the time he wore the robe that was black and had the headband on. That was pretty cool. The barbershop quartet. I think it was after a bills game a few years ago I was solid he had the bow tie had sleek cattle on really was a banner that at the ravens one time M and T Bank Stadium. He wore a plum colored hat with a plum colored scarf.

I really appreciated that. Remember, he wore the romp him at Coachella. I'm in the misty outfit emotional right now. I always think about the one that was compared to like grandma or grandpa Newton. That was the robe is like oh no, the last time we ever saw cam after a game. I could tell you a story about that.

I would love it if you would do.

It was 1 o'clock in the morning Eastern standard Time it was. It was after the Panthers didn't get the ball the cam on the goal line. They tried some trick play with McCaffrey and Vernon Hargraves pushed him out of bounds before he was able to get the first down or even get in the end zone and we're just waiting for. It took him.

It took an hour maybe an hour and 15 minutes for cam to come out. Mind you this is a Thursday.

This is my birthday to this. It's my birthday is Thursday so we have a show on Friday and it is 115 in the morning and cam emerges wearing that and there is a person is behind me. You just lets out an audible hang on, darted his eyes in that direction and we all stiffened up all the but cheeks got played just one moment, but I took the photo and then immediately. I was surprised how many people were still up 115.

What the hell is that that one or his Joker suit.

When he looked like the Joker is a purple one with a hat to match it with red trim on it. It's pretty nice place. One time he wore like a affairs. He wore a red phase and I asked him about that.

I asked him about it and he usually would just say nonmanagement sausage. My drip all that heat. He wanted give credit to where he thought of that for like where the ideas came from but in that instance he said no it was Andre 3000 I saw hundred 3000 in a GQ interview and he had a brainless hat is what you call it called in and call it a fancy second. I had never seen anybody in the NBA NFL anywhere else where brainless hat so I wanted to wear brainless hat thought is an entertainer man like he was already the most unique person you could find the league at that position but any further that with the way that he dressed like he was an interesting note is that I'm going to miss cam and willing to bet you probably are two even if you dislike having him and hating him amid successes is a lot more fun than being bored while losing because I'm here to tell you there is not to be a Teddy Bridgewater press conference that is more interesting than cam's least interesting. Prescott, this guy wears Dare T-shirts to some of his pressers south. There was always a popular thing college to where you go to a party at the Dare T-shirts ironic our son the same contributed so he is not to be a lot of fun in the Panthers are to be a lot of fun this year. I locker rooms are not generally fun places to be like. I don't look forward to going into the locker room. Generally it smells in your invasion, your invading these splintered spaces and they don't want you there.

Most times like when Duke won against Carolina two weeks ago on how it forget it was only two weeks ago years and were going in the locker room and they have loud music playing. You can see players dancing around when they see us approaching the turn the music off and then they sit and slouch into their chairs as if they're about to get sums some sort of medical exam. It was different when the Panthers one with the Panthers one games I locker room was fun.

Cam would be blaring Beyoncé after every single way.

It would be irreplaceable by Beyoncé you been trying to do your interviews and just in the background you dear Thomas.about cam Newton singing at the top of his lungs.

Beyoncé that's different cams pressers different. He had a heart for kids and for the state of North Carolina that never wavered. You might be one of those people. As we were talking to Mick Mixon about a you might think he's a Showboat just hand the ball to the referee like Barry Sanders did, but what it can do with those footballs when he scored he gave the children right. This guy has a heart for kids.

He was in a high alcohol guy. He didn't commit any crimes. Sands the laptop incident. People like to bring up when he was a dumb 18-year-old kid at the University of Florida as a pro he's been about as good of an ambassador to the city of Charlotte and the state of North Carolina. Is anybody you can find.

He made this area relevant and I'm gonna remember them that way. Most people aren't, and I understand it both people were to remember Super Bowl L.

It is failures press conference where he left early, not diving on the ball at a relative called me not to long ago bringing up that with cam and I was four years ago. Injuries perhaps it's one of our state's biggest sports what-ifs at least pro sports. The hornets what would've happened if they just drafted Kobe Bryant and didn't train them away what would've happened if cam remained healthy. If cam remained healthy. I think Ron Rivera still the head coach of the cam Newton is a slamdunk Hall of Famer.

That's the way I feel like look at it.

Statistically, he is the greatest red zone threat in NFL history 58 career rushing TDs. That's more than aspire. That's more than Roger Cragg.

It's more than to keep our birds three short of O.J. Simpson that's back when they were given the ball to one guy all the time and more passing spot. He has 15 more than the second quarterback on the west, Steve Youngblood, 43, the most iconic athlete we've had in the state. So these are the things I'm thinking about as the Panthers inevitably probably in the next week are going to move off of cam Newton don't think you're going to get a trade I think is going to be released to give Carolina a release of 19 1/2 milk but also to protect cam here because it's over, and he still on the roster people are telling of his goodbyes and he still drawing a paycheck. There, it's strange. The Panthers need the release cam on twitter at sports of Triad 336-777-1600 is the phone number if you care to chime in that way we have the final four of our colors bracket to do our colors bracket is to is today's bracket doing five brackets and five days. I'll tell you what the last of our five brackets will be in a few minutes but we need to get to the final four here. Robert, this is been a hotly contested bracket so far. Let's get to the final four team use a sports colors all right. It is the final four for our colors bracket coming out of the Crayola region. It is number one seed candy apple red which was the tournament's overall number 1C out of the Instagram filter region.

Another number one seed sky-blue out of the Olympic logo region number two seed hot pink and out of the taste the rainbow region number two seed Royal purple to the first two matchups Robert candy apple red 1C versus number one seed sky-blue. How do you see this matchup going into it. I didn't know the only thing I was sure of is that the championship we are to seal one Sequoia to see but I will say this candy apple red was the first thing you think of I think of candy apples right the first thing you think of when you think of sky-blue I think the sky all right, which one is bigger. Scott sky-blue is my pick to move on this analysis right there.

I think sky-blue is a more delightful color.

I think red can be a little abrasive tiger wearing Sunday red great for Tiger, but it is an abrasive collar so I think sky-blue has to be the choice to win. It's just a bad matter for candy apple doesn't mean it's a bad color just really running into a buzz saw sky-blue. Now it's hot pink Royal purple two seeds in their respective brackets can't take it might be the more flashy choice. The more popular choice, but Royal purple has been getting it done very long time. What you think about these two think when you look at them both on paper.

It's colors that men would be scared of. It wasn't for their masculinity. Are you are you sure about that hot pink. Yes, this trend of no man can wear pink to exactly Royal purple.I think where Royal purple for a long time Royal is with one of those hard scared where I'm scared were either one of nothing someone is to be scared on the court and then somebody is hot pink they had everything going for him this whole tournament really think they faced any real competition until they run into Royal purple and they are going away back will might as well be the name of a fan.

I know this Duke plays North Carolina media members they have to dress it is responsible to rest neutral so blue was out of the question. Can't wear blue. You also can't wear red because people will immediately associate state with that for the most popular color that is worn by media members. When do ways North Carolina purple goal as Dave Chapelle once said in a comedy bit.

Give me that purple. Now we have a matchup in the championship like that.

Her purple purple stuff 36 777-1600 on twitter at some dried thyme championship match up here it is sky-blue onesie facing number two seed Royal purple been a great Ron to the championship at this point, but man I think this is world leading. I think I blew is going to be the favorite probably a 3 1/2 point favorite. If this is a game. In fact, laid points.

It's just a more classic collar were in the state of North Carolina sky-blue means a lot of the folks the Tar Heels Royal purple is the opponent go so let's go to Jeremy in Burlington who has a Royal purple fact that might affect the voting here as it is a championship matchup between sky-blue and Royal purple yes Karen.great everyday. The fact that I was told about Royal purple with that of the call were purple back in the water where the purple because if you were wearing purple prorated looked down upon. We were able to wear purple now. Thank you Jeremy we will in to consideration. Also exactly to gotta go with Royal purple as a primary color the Western Carolina catamount sky-blue is also the color of a local team as well. You are on ABC all day. I didn't know you know you are an ABC person just offended so many people sitting in their car. I don't think I would sit in the car is only can be come down here and argue about it with me right by what you Carolina game together. We lived at 70 murder delivers doors Artie forgotten about that for most Tar Heel fans have as well. There are some Carolina fans become due. Could somebody Carolina for Carolina. I really just don't care. I don't find it exhausting to be emotional yes I hate all of your teams love their rivals, sky-blue versus Royal purple what you think you know what maybe I'm a homer. Maybe I'm a dreamer but I know I'm not the only one I'm going with Royal purple as my color bracket champion. I'm going Royal purple to dammit talk about the colors bracket royalty here and Western Carolina and Roberts homered all Royal purple to the finish line tomorrow. The last bracket that we have is the only one that I didn't sit at home and do myself, so I'm worried there are things on this bracket. I do not know probably it is the videogame character bracket Robert has put this thing together and working to have the last of our brackets of the week be the videogame character bracket.

How much time did you put it, actually a lot on Saturday.

I was kinda indisposed of all day, but in the midst of that. I just thought of random videogame characters after a pass this along to my friends there like what you include this one to include this was the most popular one you excluded odd job from goldeneye.

They were upset about that James Bond was on. He's not. He was a job. I think he's more of an iconic character just because he was so small and then also cruddy to throw like to have the guy refers to have gratitude.

I would agree any really small hard to get a headshot on what you got to get to the house today everybody is been quarantined for about four days now. Maybe even longer and got activities that might make the past are the time passes will be quicker to get to the house next
