QB bridge over troubled waters

This is dry when Josh Graham drive to support. I don't think we've ever seen a day like today in NFL history where you have two MVP quarterbacks cutting ties with their team just hours apart. Tom Brady no longer going to be a New England Patriots, but with the Carolina Panthers. Sometimes business can get messy desiccation football and radio or any field you pick David Tepper's hedge fund manager is worth over $11 billion is the richest owner in the NFL. So yeah, he understands this better than most. Although I believe the Carolina Panthers decision to move off cam Newton today to be very messy. It was a smart business decision moving off of cam and signing Teddy Bridgewater.

When I look at what this means I you do not get Teddy Bridgewater today if cam Newton is on the roster.

It's that simple. Number one.

Can you imagine those discussions yesterday.

Teddy getting reacquainted with Joe Brady meeting Matt rule yeah I'd love to play for you guys, but then you gotta get to the awkward part of the conversation okay well what's going on with number one QB one here former MVP. One of the best players in your franchises history. The guy you just said a few weeks ago you absolutely wanted the coach what's going on there. Teddy Bridgewater wasn't going to sign a contract smartly with Carolina as long as Carolina publicly was committed to camp so I see the initial press release go out the Panthers. They published the story as they commonly do creating their own content even if the news is bad for Carolina. The headline Panthers give cam Newton permission to seek trade. It's very strangely point which is why cam got upset with the Panthers. He was in the comments saying that don't make it sound like it was me that wanted to do this, essentially paraphrasing their Greg Olson. He commented and said sounds familiar. He's since gone public saying that it wasn't quite as mutual when he parted ways with Carolina. It was Carolina saying they wanted the rebuild and move off of Greg. When that happened. BMI producer Robert Wass.

We had a discussion. I started thinking, why does Carolina make this public. Why does Carolina make it known on their own social media on their own website that they've given cam Newton the permission to seek a trade. Why would they do that. That essentially throws away any trade value. Cam hats like you have a quote in this story from Marty Hardy. One of the distinct pleasures of my career was selecting cam with the first pick of the 2011 draft every year. Difficult decisions are made and they are never easy. We have been working with cam and his agent to find the best fit for him. Moving forward, he will always be a Carolina Panthers in our heart. Later in the story David Tepper say cam's one of the all-time great. I wish him the best. They mention the injuries in the story, which I thought was odd and then that was later deleted. I think know it's still in there cam's injuries that something the papers never talk about and it's in this release. So yeah the papers are moving off of cam I don't know if any team is going to trade anything to Carolina in less they just want cam on the cheap. 22 1/2 billion dollar contract for one year that way. Cam is locked in to one year and cam is locked in at that salary as well. That's the only way I see it getting done so that was the final.Domino. The only reason why the papers put that out publicly, knowing that that would diminish all value. Cam had at that point and do away with all the work from a public relations standpoint, Matt rule did in Indianapolis at the scouting combine, saying that he absolutely expected cam to be the quarterback of the team you through all that away for one reason, this is what me and Robert arrived at lunch you do that because you plan to sign the quarterback you had a quarterback you want to pursue bill quarterbacks can assign with you if cam is still on the roster. If you're still committed to and then loading the whole Teddy Bridgewater is the quarterback.

A few hours later I could see why Carolyn prefers Teddy better career passer rating healthier. In recent years is nearly 4 years younger than cam also Teddy. He fits perfectly into a rebuild he's cheap $60 million for three years. It's about $20 million a year job. Josh really good at math, that's cheaper than cam this year. 22 1/2 now three year contract. I didn't expect Teddy to take anything less than four years, but he did so. Carolina, I think it's a good contract in terms of salary.

It's good in terms of length for a 27-year-old both these things, they can jive together they can fit it's a misnomer that people have about thinking some people think it's all about it. It's just like major-league where the Cleveland ownership wants to move the team so they're purposely trying to make him bad right that's not what pinking is thinking about getting rid of expensive contracts and long term contract often those contracts that are expensive and long term are the best, most talented players.

Your team does get worse when you get rid of them. But it's more about developing youth and Teddy again is a 27-year-old quarterback in the league were quarterbacks can play until they're 43, we've learned and still get $60 million contracts at 43 so it's still a pretty young quarterback that you're getting here in three years isn't that long of a commitment for that position so it can still be a rebuilding job or Teddy can be the quarterback of the future.

He's getting that opportunity. I think this eliminates the Panthers drafted the quarterback next month. I think they're going to give Teddy a shot here if it's great okay this is the quarterback of the future for us. If it's not okay.

Then next year Trevor Lawrence Justin field.

Maybe somebody we don't know the way that we didn't know about Joe Burrell.

At this time last year. Familiarity matters with the new staff Matt rule he hired a lot of his former Baylor assistance to join him.

He hired a lot of guys he knew when he was with the Giants 10 years ago under Tom Coughlin, Russell Okun, a big reason why that trade got Don Trey Turner Wrobel are going to the Chargers and Russell Okun being brought in is because Pat Meyer, the office of line coach new Okun Robert Wass he's a producer of the show and he had to apply for a job in order to be the producer of the show. I worked with them before in eastern North Carolina. I didn't get final say but I know without a doubt, Robert. He's good enough you could produce radio shows all across the state. Maybe all across the country, but a big reason why he's in the chair he is sitting in right now is because we work with each other before familiarity matters and Joe Brady worked with Teddy Bridgewater in New Orleans two years ago, and the St. Drew breeze loved him Michael Thomas. He went to the national title game when they played in the world. Just because he wanted to support Brady and apparently Bridgewater love them to the locker room guy as well.

Everybody loses when they talk about how great Bridgewater is as a person. But listen to the sound from Matt rule talking to Peter King a few weeks ago speaking about why he hired Joe Brady and specifically what he wanted to bring in offense of peers Joe have a tremendous success of LSU with a college version of what he learned and wants in it that I wanted that that I had studied and thought about hate. If I do this, how my going to do it during dance pro football talk.com to join us in 20 minutes. 336-777-1600 want your thoughts on what just happened.

Cam Newton BM moved off of as the Pampers quarterback and Teddy Bridgewater gonna be the guy this year. In all likelihood, 777-1600 is the number I do think the patriots could be an option for cam.

The LA Chargers.

Of course, especially if some of these reports were CN regarding Tom Brady are true, where it seems like Brady's get a become a Tampa Bay Buccaneers or that makes a lot of sense to me. Tom he is trying to evaluate what the best life option is for him the best football option Tampa is better than the LA Chargers in almost every single way skill guys, it's close but I'd still take Tampa with OJ, Howard and Godwin and Mike Evans over rings bro's own Keenan Allen, among others, in Los Angeles coach Bruce Arians more than its Anthony Lynn area is one of the more respected offense of minds in the sport offense of line the Chargers.

They bolstered things up. Brian built a blog was just signed the former tackle of the Green Bay Packers also traded for Trey Turner so they have a pro bowler at the guard spot as well, but tapas old line it's it's seventh in the NFL. According to pro football focus last year so the box they get the check over the Chargers organizationally same organization ownership group that hired Tony Dunn Jeep that hired John Gruden won a Super Bowl in 2002. It makes more light since were Brady because he's got a get paid Kobe Bryant. He once told eight rewards and Turowski, after winning one of his titles and nine or 10. I did it without taking a pay cut. There's pride in that you get paid what you're worth and you still are able to execute still able to win so a lot of this I think is pride for Brady.

He's gonna get paid after taking pay cuts with the patriots for the last decade and there's no state income tax in the state of Florida. His family is in New York City so it's a lot shorter overflight for him to go from Tampa to New York City versus going from New York City to Los Angeles and I also think he is a better chance to win in Tampa that he does with the Chargers. Just when you look at the division don't the face Homes twice a year and the NFC South.

Granted you have the New Orleans Saints with another aging future Hall of Fame quarterback but Carolina Panthers as we mentioned a little bit of a rebuild their Atlanta losing a lot of parts have been to the playoffs last few years there better than the Chargers were last year Tampa 79 versus five and 11 I was Arians first year with the team they just re-signed a couple of great defensive players Jay Sapir Paul Jack Barrett so I think it makes football since it makes license that Brady chooses the Tampa Bay Buccaneers bar. There are some reporting saying that he's gonna be a buccaneer tomorrow, but Shafter not on that yet.

Ian Rappaport Jay Glazer not there either.

And these are the guys we trust most when it comes to the newsbreak.

It is day two of our five brackets and five days.

Yesterday it was or 2000's pop music bracket today. It is romantic comedies. Robert tell us what region were going to discontinue some sports hub triad.

I feel fantastic since we broke the romantic comedy go to the Julia Roberts we number one see pretty woman is facing never been kissed a lot of Drew Barrymore movies in the ROM COM bracket pretty woman, though going to take out never been cast eight seed crazy stupid love faces 9C 40-year-old Virgin. This might be one of the more difficult matchup in the first round and the entire bracket of 40-year-old Virgin's just a funnier movie than crazy stupid love is more romantic crazy stupid love give you that 40-year-old Virgin a funnier movie.

It wins and advances the round of 32° or seed facing the Sandman and Drew Barrymore and 51st dates. I think it's crazy just because of the classic songs in that relationship and that movie is one of the more iconic in American culture, but 51st dates very underrated Sandman movie Bridget Jones diary of five seat going up against while seated bridesmaids to be Bridget Jones 90 speaking early to thousands.

It is what made Renée Zellweger, Renée Zellweger, in addition to of course Jerry McGuire as well so Bridget Jones diary. Moving on six seed Ms. congeniality versus 11 needed something's gotta give Sandra Bullock most underrated ROM COM leading woman. There is Julia Roberts gets a lot of credit Andy McDowell Meg Ryan not give me Sandra Bullock was once called at my alma mater, East Carolina University, Sandy, from the first floor of one of the central buildings at ECU.

I don't think she ever got a degree but Ms. congeniality is through the face, home Julia Roberts nodding Hill is a three seat going up to get 16 candles. Not a lot of love in this bracket so far for the crew in 16 candles that cast but nodding Hill is going to win in this one. I was a sucker when it comes to Julia Roberts nodding Hill around 32 folder to see if facing Valentine's Day. You grant to overpower that of crash Davis so crash will win this round to go to the right of 32 lost in transit translation kind of a strange movie that doesn't really age that well. So how to lose a Guy in 10 days is going to win in the 710 matchup barring second-round matchup say anything or excuse me pretty woman facing 40-year-old Virgin, it's more of a comedy then it is around, so I think it hurts it pretty woman is just definition of a romantic comedy, pretty woman to the sweet 16 grease person Bridget Jones diary gets Bridget Jones. This congeniality versus Notting Hill. I like Notting Hill again a sucker for Julia Roberts bowl Durham takes out how to lose a Guy in 10 days. This might be another one the toughest matchup in this entire bracket bowl Durham in the Sweet 16 facing Notting Hill fences of the sports talk radio show.

I feel like in the state of North Carolina. I have to give the nod to Susan Sarandon, Kevin Costner ample bleeping girl pretty woman facing Bridget Jones diary easy way for pretty woman, and in the elite eight. It's pretty woman versus bull Durham, who I think I cable Durham enough love here. Maybe my favorite sports movie pretty woman is my mom's favorite movie she can quote it all the time. I didn't want to. For the first time until a few months ago, Julia Roberts was a massive star until this movie came out and the two became the biggest store in Hollywood so pretty woman is going to go to the final four in my ROM COM bracket. The offices of the front of sports talk is well with her back to back with Josh and longtime Panthers reporter longtime NFL reporter bearing Dan now joining us as a Hall of Fame Boner for Pro football talk.com and NBC Sports as well so give me a sincere Darren. I thought the Panthers their move over cam Newton. It was cutthroat, but it was something you needed to do in order to sign another quarterback that quarterback be in Teddy Bridgewater reportedly three year $60 million. It was cutthroat, but it seemed to be smart business. How do you view it would handle particularly great lady. I there would be in a way me and I think if they were really motivated them to the conclusion but can't didn't seem to have gotten the message to me and I think everything we've heard and really the first raise my hand. Pardon me for going on a long ramble here. It's been a long day of work from home but working to use to it the first time was in December when they fired Ron Rivera, and Kipper was talking about what made a good job and he said I one of the things you gotta realize is we don't have a $30 million mistake and he was referring to Jared Goff's contract that the Rams probably regret right so quarterback contract in the time beyond quarterback was clearly on peppers, but he fired a coach starts new. They talk about process. They talk about building they talk about pain and repeat quarterback with one year left on his contract to want to raise that they're not going to give him because he been hurt. The last two years doesn't really fit with all those other things.

It was always going to be awkward. It was always get a be a painful and probably having seen them go through Steve Smith's order which they could've found a better way to do it, but now you wonder after committing our work getting out that you get a scientific Bridgewater. You wonder what the market for. I would think they should still be able to find somebody to get them something for Camden numbing even even if you know the worst case scenario and camp might not be 100% healthy start a training camp. He still cam Newton and that contract really is not that big yes and that's the thing. I think that's valuable here. The Panthers they made it known teams understand that he's not to be on the team. It just doesn't work to have two quarterback contracts are $20 million or more here. But if your team like the Bears and your team like the patriots if he is released by Carolina then there's he's gonna want. Maybe more than one year and if he wants just one year is probably going to want more than 22 1/2 million dollars. There teams like the Bears. The patriots maybe even the Chargers who might look at that and say yeah we give a compensatory pick or something like that just to get the contract alone. While much of it depends on Tom Brady because the target think they're still in all that they're knocking to make it on cam right now think there with the box and other people are looking at quarterback for me Tom's obviously big wind all the Colton Philip Rivers did their thing.

This afternoon, and a lot of people expected that that would made a lot of think that a lot of levels will click can like cam logistically obsolete happen right now.

When three weeks ago the Panthers were say yeah we don't quite know if you pass a physical right now, it probably would take a month and change to pass a physical does a trade happen without cam being able to do so depends on how desperate the other team is aromatic. Chicago once traded for things to move up one take a mixture 50 so I don't rule anything out. People make bad decisions all the time. You know Bill O'Brien had gave away the Andre Hawkins for washed up front or back about contract so I second-round pick so weird stuff happens all the time.

I don't rule it out in an camp doesn't have value and and I think were in clean like the Savior, the Chargers, and you strike out on Tom Brady can do a lot worse than cam Newton in the sixth pick in the draft at quarterback going into a new stadium to try to choose the business meeting, that's interesting. If nothing else, and that'll get the attention of a lot of people in Los Angeles so I think the guy has value. I think the guy can still play if you assume that a 31-year-old should be well at some point this year than I think he could be good business for somebody because you can still print test that God so in effect, or your fine at your contract is on Twitter during Pro football talk.com. You said that it was messy today and it obviously was when you get my goals and involved in the proceedings as well. Backing up what cam criticized the Panthers for on their initial post papers giving cam permission to seek a trait so I love the image of cam Newton calling Howie Roseman calling the cost in Baltimore calling all these general managers across the pulsing yeah will you take me playing ball here.

I mean, it seems like I'm allowed to do this now. What bothered you the most about the way the Panthers handled well.

I mean, you know, it really very frequently require great or the moat player and printer. Let me say that only circle back a bit on my cell and he's done a lot for the one who grabbed a pretty shabby set of offensive personnel to record the Super Bowl in 2015. You would think. And again, having gone through it. Five pictures there was the Smith. You would think there would be no memory but a lot of that in no memory of Gaul and Matt rule doesn't care about any of that stuff necessarily so. You know, it was awkward. It was painfully wish they could've found a way to trade-in without putting out that statement, but I don't think cam got the message.

When he showed up at Super Bowl doing radio row. Talk about how they will square with any other method that it been yet.

David Matt wrote his first press conference was like yeah and really had a chance to talk you don't really know a lot about Her refer to other teams making $36 million. Mistakes in pain and growing in the future and and camp didn't seem to understand that that didn't include he kept thinking he was about to get a raise and Pat was never gonna happen.

If it is the box in the Chargers as the final two for Tom Brady tomorrow. Would you be surprised if it's not Tampa parent occurred to me at camp and I don't know how you know good boxcar, with or without it they were okay.

This year, despite McClinton grown 30 interception, but that rococo group 5000 yards and 33 touchdowns so I don't know you know when I write her, James went yes but if I'm thinking closer to when a playoff game or even a Super Bowl.

I think the Chargers are probably closer, but listen through theory and didn't go to Tampa Bay to build a long-term project. Each short time himself so they would be trying to use this thing for one year and could be worse it gets. Tom Brady and you go to get throw at the Crisco my cabin, Gregory J.

Howard yeah will play with Bruce Arians you still good stuff ago quarterbacks before you be okay today. I think if it was me I would lean Chargers in that situation, but it close and it's close enough that you know other moves they could make might move the needle with topic and appear based on everything he's done to this process that the part you put around him are important to him in the make a difference in his ultimate decision again with the possible talk.com working from home as many people are amid a crisis but just a little bit of information the people might not know, maybe you might not know this Darren, but aside from the city of Charlotte in terms of television markets.

This one that were in right now. Television radio is the second highest drawing Panthers market in terms of viewership listenership and in college basketball. The national championship game was played between Virginia and Texas Tech last year, the highest rated markets for that game was Charlottesville, Virginia, Lubbock, Texas, and then after that, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, the Triad watch that game with anybody else, and it didn't even have a North Carolina team so we love football and that's why you're here, but we also love March madness as well.

There's no March madness this year so to fill that void.

I've been doing brackets every single day yesterday. It was a 2000's music pop music bracket today. It's romantic comedies. The final four that we've settled on right now is number one seed when Harry Met Sally five seed while you were sleeping three seed there something about Mary a number one seed, pretty woman on the trip you've seen all those movies but out of romantic comedies. Which of those four do you believe to be the best. I think her singing career. Of those, I know it really little hazy on the other. What I have that group classic mean if you talk about the modern romantic comedy that's pretty much the scene and if you want me to get you thrown off the air out the diner scene right now, although we actually have it as part of our imaging. We have a dinner but Robert. He did his best impression of it.

Darren give me what you got no Triad go to church.

I will not be doing that when Harry Met Sally is the pick for let's go that we taught music everything the time here. I can't ask you what show you're good to go to next.

So give me a good album that all of us could go home turn on and listen to either on spot a fire finding get online yet warning that all the good shows a lot of goat. There are going to be one of the things that I've got a look this up one of my favorite art and English punk rocker/folksinger named Frank Turner is doing a lot concert tonight and he's asking people to make donations to help pay his group that is basically shut out in the middle of the tour and aunt Frank Turner think songs that I like what I think you probably wouldn't as well do you do your little digging around the Twitter around the Internet you can find Frank Turner piecing hopeful songs and I think right now in the United States America we could all stand a little bit of that John legend an hour ago didn't want to do similar streams Chris Martin of Coldplay did when yesterday as well self or doing good things amid really difficult circumstances. Darren, we look forward to reading your work. Principal talk.com. Thanks for spending time with us to Yep will be all right if you got that staring at he's on twitter at Darren Gant. I thought for a second he was going to do it. I you know what I knew and the tone in his voice that he wasn't ready that something you got a warm up for, or have no self-respect like you know what we don't think people can come to the office to pick up these prizes. But I was thinking how great would it be if people called then for some reason some purpose and gave us the just gave us the Meg Ryan from when Harry Met Sally, I would love that. I don't know we could do that but like I know I know the folks at beaver tire and auto they would hook us up with some $50 oil change and lay I'm really tired of your talk oil change, tire rotation, we could do a $50 value so we could, you know what the bleep it will figure it out. Give me 33 people were willing to do the Meg Ryan from when Harry Met Sally, you know the I'll have what he what she's having 33677716 are worded to our final four for our ROM COM bracket bubble giveaway, a beaver tire and auto packing. Our package of sorts, which is a tire rotation along with a free oil change 336-777-1600 will see if anybody wants to play along and dryad. You can try getting your sports news and talk somewhere else.

I like sex quite have already. Thank you. Best to leave it right here on the drive with Josh Graham. Understandably, Robert couldn't find three people in the entire Triad wanted to do the Meg Ryan from when Harry Met Sally and that's completely fine. I don't think anybody is complaining about that. We have our ROM COM draft bracket were going to the final four. Now and this is going to be hotly contested. Getting some comments on Instagram, some on Facebook and twitter here you can chime in at sport sub Triad before we do the final four for the ROM COM bracket some breaking news in the MBA. We learned last hour that for Brooklyn Nets have tested positive for the coronavirus three asymptomatic one. Having symptoms. We don't know who all four of the players are, but we just learned. According to Sean's karate of as a stadium or Yahoo or I would guess Yahoo charms. Second, the words Kevin Durant is one of the four who have tested positive for the virus was room litigant stadium.

The athletic and stadium. We were all wrong, but that's why we ask the questions here so if you ever hear anybody even at this point, who says yeah I'm young, I'm fine.

I don't have it.

I don't have any symptoms. Don't even worry about me.

You know I'll just go out and start high-fiving no no it's Kevin bleeping Durrant Kevin bleeping Durrant has this thing okay so I'm not I know I'm supposed to be the guy says that everybody special imperfect in 2020. You're not special in the sense okay you could have it. Just because you know it's Kevin Durant was one of the healthiest people on earth. These MBA athletes Donovan Mitchell Rudy go better if they can get it, you can probably get it to so be safe. Be responsible and you know listen to what Coach K Roy Williams Kevin keep telling you via press release or PSA yesterday. Listen to Edwards Ron wash your hands do it's necessary there go to yeah go Tigers did you find it interesting that Danny Manning was not asked to be a part of that PSA yesterday. His team don't play defense minimal. My immune system.

The plaintiff knocking Alyssa Danny Manning got it got. All right, let's get into the ROM COM bracket continues on sport sub Triad since we broke the romantic comedy we reached the final we have and the final four is when Harry Met Sally clip you just heard this classic we have one see them when Harry Met Sally, a five seed with while you were sleeping pretty woman.

Also one seed and there's something about Mary coming out of the Meg Ryan, Andy McDowell, John Cusack and Julia Roberts regions. The matchup when Harry Met Sally facing while you were sleeping pretty woman going up against their something about Mary Robert where are you leaning in this sounds like you're a cheerleader for their something about Mary. I am a big Ben Stiller fan whether he's a small role wardrobe, especially in this movie is chemistry with Cameron Diaz.

I think play out well in the court and I just don't know if the other teams and will hold up against that kind of which of these holding up these movies holds up because all of these are at least 20 years old pretty woman 30 years old when Harry Met Sally, 30 years old while you were sleeping close to 25 years old and there's something about Mary a little over 20 years old. Yeah I had some problems with pretty woman came up against 40-year-old Virgin said that pretty woman was more of the ROM call feature for your version too much of the COM. What I would like to bring forward that they had a lot of wrong see Steve Carell getting with that woman after she had already been a terrible marriage were she had some is she had baggage piano lack of baggage and together they had just enough closet space. I think it is a great American love story gives the lower love class like me a chance and pretty woman. He took her off the streets of the sheets is that real, maybe I don't know I'm not. Never had that much money so maybe it is the scene where she goes into the stores on rodeo Drive. Yes, there's nothing funnier than that when they tell her to leave and then she buys all the stuff as if to say, you made a poor decision today like there's a lot of comedy and pretty woman. There is a better movie was a better movie about Mary pretty woman to go pretty woman be to the woman is beat their something about Mary man that's tough to get tougher when Harry Met Sally versus while you were sleeping and I will have. I don't know.

I might have to call my mom if when while you were sleeping beats when Harry Met Sally here because my mom loves while you were sleeping, and pretty woman, but sorry to Debbie Graham. I think when Harry Met Sally's just the perfect Ron, it has to advance here. It just does Sandra Bullock. I mean, it doesn't really date well with your pretending to be in the guy's family.

Just because you have a cross with them. Also, every time I see that dude I think Mr. deeds the slimy guy in Mr. deeds at the problem so I'm going when Harry Met Sally to be 5 feet matchup between two number one seeds here Robert Lovett when Harry Met Sally versus pretty woman is the championship game in the ROM COM bracket Harry Met Sally versus pretty woman 336-777-1600 is the phone number is 05 Graham radio on twitter. I think it's when Harry Met Sally just so many moments. One that sticks out is underrated Billy Crystal being asked why broke up with this one girl and he said that you know she's from Northwestern and westerns in the Big Ten and that's a dealbreaker for this is so great there's so many life every two or three minutes in this movie there is a line that's going to make you laugh or Billy Crystal and chemistry there. Meg Ryan, who is just the goat of ROM COM leading women. I think it's it's just so tough not to say this is the movie. So when Harry Met Sally. It is the overall number one seed in the tournament but they took care of business with a path in the Meg Ryan region of beating fever pitch.

The most overrated, awful sports movie that people think is actually good beating.

You've got mail another Meg Ryan movie with Tom Hanks beating Jerry McGuire meetings sleepless in Seattle, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan again to get to the final four taken care of while you were sleeping. And now, pretty woman your champion in the ROM COM bracket is when Harry Met Sally, no show the close of the Loch Ness monster got her drunk driving Josh grab no longer to be a Carolina Panthers or the news of the day. Tom Brady also moving on the New England Patriots and just a bit. I'll tell you one area the Panthers got burned today. Our first guest is the son of the late great Jerry Tarkanian. It's Danny Tarkanian and I love that she has a new book coming out. It's called rebel with the because it is a new book already out, I should say rebel with the calls Danny Tarkanian with thoughts and what's neat about it is it's truly a definitive biography, considering he played for Jerry Tarkanian and of course, is his son as well and this is a fascinating figure in college basketball and us being in the heart of college basketball country in the state of North Carolina. There are number of things I want to ask you about Danny, but first off when I say the words Duke blue Devils. What's the first word that comes into your head are clapping extremely hard-working. I got like a typical UNLV. You like a great aberration, not because the how much it one lately but when you don't repeat by 30 points. The largest margin of victory championship game coach K and his players with basic class here people after the loss of everything and in the next year with Duke the great abstracts of all time, for ".

His players was so clock to just really complementary. That's what sports all about.

My dad always thought what's the best story you have about those early 1990s, rebels teams, when did you know this team was special was there. So there you your reported to championship people, most of them are so they played Arizona Western regional semi finals Arizona with the consensus number one of the job for the national championship will be in Arizona each other there is my little jerk absolute complete hatred between the schools and cities of the coaches actually and Anderson hit a three-pointer at the end of the game they got started. At that point you do that, the future is extremely bright. Johnson, all the players what's the closest team you seen to the talent level that those guys have because last year the Duke team as I am Williamson RJ Barrett cam reddish that we covered all year long.

They were in that discussion and other Tar Heel teams we seen as well. Is there one you're willing to say is close to that. Why think some little things you mentioned have a lot more, good to clear the liquor that you know Pete you have to really great players drafted the top 12 and outplayed nobody else to learn a job that was before he got her to be a career that you have a lot of you have any of the other ones really good players that are to be level but they did so well that you beget a playful heart and great defense and coach. The forward of this book said that he thought the defense that's because she played against the coach to get that and the fact the place of altogether.

Dr. just start this month is going to be the 30th anniversary of the national championship. The poster that game on social media so I went back and looked at it, they will claim so well together.

The high velocity great shots basketball ran real well and are somehow designated shooter.

They got him great shots. I think playing together: specialty Tarkanian with the new book rebel with the calls and you said coach K wrote the forward for you won't afford what I call them up one 2015 and out the futility was really gracious. I that's really neat doesn't surprise me at all getting to know coach K the last handful years and I'm interested when you are of course emotionally attached to the subject matter.

The way you obviously are talking about your dad researching a book you have to do so much and potentially learn things that you probably didn't even know before writing the book me an example of something you learned about your dad that you didn't even know upon starting this process, while ports about how many people's life impacted that had nothing to do what sports people that would come up after my father passed away letters in support of all the things that he did it and out like she wants to spend time with people talk with the gospel really stood out to be funny to think of the book, but as you mentioned in the beginning I was about as close to my father and his crew is anybody around a ball boy started coaching from your college lobby stayed up late for my father UNLV I coach with my father tried to get you trade battles with the fact that Bobcat scrapbook every year my father coasted back with metal scrap article that was able to get quotes out of their book is my first I was very emotional. Put things in there that I don't think the average reader want to read. Maybe some stuff that I wanted to get out. That was you know that was maybe not.

Not Microsoft factor.

So I cut the lookout. About 40% hundred 7110 left in the back. It was documented by the scrapbook to get to three court cases vary between interviews.

And also by personal experience. While the dispenser I try to make any book I put it a lot of stories my father but also other coaches. It was really fun and exciting, coaches back in the 70s and early 80s. Coaches only wanted to do was coax the got along great together to the beach and be the CEO spotted it would make guys a lot great together with that of the book, and a lot of stuff about one-liners. My father had a liquid. Some of the stuff that deported likely set the somatic University Kentucky to quickly should you hackles on the line. I added a bunch of sponge if you told the family was close friends. Jerry Tarkanian is one of the more interesting figures in the history of college basketball.

The book rebel with the cause available now it is Danny Tarkanian's son spending some time with us today. Good luck with the book. Stay safe amid everything going on. Appreciate the visit in the Triad today. Danny will thank you, thank you for have gone. I really appreciate you go on Amazon book. There if you look at Fort there you go with the cost coach K wrote wrote the forward amazon.com you can find rebel with a cause. As I mentioned, the Carolina Panthers, they moved off their gonna move off cam Newton. We know that now you don't release the statements Marty Harney and David Tepper did the day. If it isn't going to happen, but I think something that seemed to be a plus can be a negative points when it comes to social media and content generation.

The Panthers they've been applauded for having the best social media and content department in the National Football League and yes they given us plenty to talk about over the years with their content generation.

However, they got burned today trying to control the message with cam Newton and what was going to happen here if you missed it the original post was cam is going to has been permitted to seek a trade which is just really strange wording so when cam got upset reacting saying that they forced him into this that you forced me into this situation and Greg Olson comments and says sounds familiar. I think the Panthers have a problem on their hands were seeing this so much more with teams and athletic departments hiring their own riders hiring people to create content, essentially saying own the bad stuff as much as you own the good stuff so that way you know you still get the clicks for that you have the information you have the inside stuff we could control the message the way that it's perceived the way that it's Frank. This was a bad job by them.

The and I think they would admit it. Inside those walls.

This kind of stuff could damage the Panthers reputation among players.

Cam is a former MVP. He is a well-liked guy in the league. Many of the young quarterbacks they look up to him. He is a Walter Payton man of the year candidate from this year Greg Olson he's a Walter Payton man of the year finalist.

This is important these guys. They both get rid of. They both got discarded and they say that they mutually parted ways with Greg. He had the rebuff that his own publicly and now camp. It's like tams trying to say that he wants to leave versus the Panthers want to get rid of them. He takes issue with that as well. It's important with a new head coach, a new wish owner. The reputation from players in the week if you want to lamp reagents were seeing that more and more players. They pay attention to that stuff Matt rule he deserves some blame for this because he participated but this is more on the Panthers content department and PR department. Matt rule he isn't writing the press releases he isn't writing the scripts he isn't writing the tweet is not staging web series web shows where you sitting there being asked by Stephen Drummond, the head communications guy for the Panthers what you think about camp and all he saying is glowing remarks we heard what he said at the combine. It's crazy when you put it side-by-side with what they're saying today and what their actions are. This was always getting in messy camp, something soured in the last month. It was clear something had soured between cam in the Panthers. We acknowledge this when David Tepper spoke over a month ago the Panthers they were going to extend cam cam probably wanted in the way of commitment some type of extension some type of a pay bump. I wasn't happy. So things were going to get messy and they did. That happens in business doesn't mean the Panthers made a poor business decision. I think it's actually a smart decision they made today but in terms of the way they controlled the message the way that they put it out there and handled it. They got burned. There's no question that why I don't expect the Panthers to get anything in return for cam Newton here on the drive
