The Drive with Josh Graham - Seeing Ghosts

This is dry when Josh Graham drive you towards others right what someone's verifying site seeing the New England Patriots defense are seeing those because Sam gargled apparently faith.

Both of them last night. I want to get the ghost this in a minute but it seems that New England is in everybody's head. Remember when the greatest offense of mindedness for seemed broken in the Super Bowl trying to change everything he did to get to that point only scoring three points against the patriots. Adam gaze seem to be this great offense of mind, then he's belittled to the point it's 33 to nothing.

The patriots are intentionally giving 5 yards to the New York Jets at Adam gaze doesn't know what to do. So we just declines the penalty note when I can allow you to go 5 yards back. The camera pans to Bill Belichick and the guy is a robot. He doesn't smile, but in this instance when Dace is not allowing him to give free yardage up. He couldn't help but smirk he had that smirking to put this up on twitter that mirrors smirk Southerners have when the rack cookout and make your Northerners looking at the cookout menu for the first time what what what to hushpuppy. Are you telling me I get I can have a corn dog is so high's crazy man is, what is your go to cookout about a what you're ordering cookout when you get it.

The double cookout tray with fried double burger yeah that's what I always get season A1 sauce and one sauce jam and yet the yeah man, I know that on the zombies and fries or nuggets and fries for my side and in a former life with you sweetie but I'm not allowed to do in the South on this show the same way Dan Patrick takes phone calls and they give their height and weight what they can bench we should take phone calls and you have to give us your cookout order at the start of it all. I love you like your go to cookout order 336-777-1600 and fact I'm down taking those calls right now, 777-1600 on twitter at sports are dry and that's the face. Belichick gave you're in line guys asking what hushpuppy Czar doesn't understand the cookout menu weight, what, what's your wine all about the patriots there in everybody's head and the crazy thing is there unbeaten and they're getting better so they trade for Mohammed Sununu today in exchange for a second round draft pick Pat Dave loves the new. For a while they been badgering whoever's had to get the new, and it seem like they like them in exchange for a first-round draft pick. But now the Falcons their mailing it in and you get a second round of the patriots. They finally solve the wide receiver problems, homes he's gonna be out for the next few weeks the patriots are already in an awful distant division so you gotta be thinking in addition to seeing case turn down free yardage that teletext is looking at the league and laughing. He's a step ahead, and things are just lying out so easy for him right now. All right, now let's get to the ghost part. If you miss the mic stop segment that they did last night on ESPN. Sam Donald gave us this Jim the miked up stuff is generally useless. It is television networks boasting sticking her chest out to look at this access that we have and then return what we get is content is usually awful stuff. It's usually for these before. What are they generally sound like that's when you think miked up what's what's usually being said by a coach in the huddle usually wall up my first outliving your aggression like a quarterback or someone that they get hit. Oh man like you really get me there. Play hard.

It comes out in the middle of the week inside the NFL gives us cam Newton talking to Clay Matthews, Matthews thinks it's good to be a screenplay. All you did your prep then at you is up all the will rust out L West will wrap Krista McCaffrey had something for completion right across the middle touchdown. These are usually useless, but then Donald gave us a huge gift last night.

It's like an X-Files episode, Donald. He's starring Janet and he looks into the camera, deadpanned and says is this a side effect. This might be the X-Files side effect for mono seeing ghost.

Usually if the deflate gate stuff that leads to X-Files like investigations did Tom Brady know that the footballs were deflated with that thing is watching the replays of some of the stuff must night to send one extra dude, that's pretty much the whole night just one extra guy.

I have the hot take the day that I don't think anybody else is going to have across the sports media platform usually were like the things because were on in the afternoon everybody gets crack at it in the morning and DG comes on right before us. I think I have something that hasn't been said yet I think it's a plus that he could see ghost it's a good sign. You want your quarterback to be able to see everything on the field so the Carolina Panthers are getting set for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday and Niners of the only unbeaten team in the NFC in 25 minutes.

We will be joined by the voice of the Carolina Panthers Mick Mixon. I hate this matchup for Carolina. I think this game is going to come down to who runs the ball better, and I have more faith, but the 49ers will because as good as look equally is in as good as this pass rush is been thieves Avenue the way they turned over the football, the rush defense has not been exceptional.

Carolina is 23rd in the league in rush defense, 49ers. Conversely, our second in the NFL running the ball, they pound. If you haven't watch the 49ers yet their team doesn't mind. Given that the breeder for five times in a row and then just working play action.

The rest of the game.

It's not like an option based off it's in college but the ratio of run the past does remind you of these run based college offenses. You'll see. And that surprises me a bit because that's not what Kyle Shanahan was doing in Atlanta. But it's the sign of a great coach. Whether you're talking about in college basketball. Roy Williams and coach K being able to change things.

Year in and year out based on the personnel that they have read the daily tailoring the personnel the was style Kyle Shanahan stuck on a couch that looks it is personnel and then tailors the offense to that versus the other way around.

Plus 49ers.

They have the number one total defense in the league eighth against the run.

McCaffrey he's gone off pretty much get anybody except for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Houston Texans as the two teams that have held them under 100 yards you know those two teams have in common their boat top 10 rush defense in the most recent game Todd Bowles once again helped Krista McCaffrey to under 60 yards total, complete. I think everybody's good to be studying that film for the two games against Tampa Bay and if anybody has the personnel to shut down McCaffrey. It's this San Francisco. This defense is legitimate and I think it's good to be a problem for Carolina. You might think that Josh Carolinas had extra time to prepare the coming off the bye week. That's an advantage. Carolina maybe not Ron Rivera is foreign for after the bye week in his career with this is a road game against the best opponent Carolinas had this year so you can give me all the Kyle Allen's red hot stuff Rivera was after a bye week, but the numbers really muddy that is good is Houston is they got beat by the Houston Texans are seized by the Minneapolis Colts on Sunday and the LA Rams have sputtered and points they want in Atlanta. But, therefore, in three in the season. This seems to be the hottest team in the NFL and the best team, but the Carolina Panthers have played to this point so I'm not going as far to say right now that the pampers are going to lose to the 49ers on Sunday. What I am saying analytically where the games being played. The opponent you're going up against just sheer on paper match jobs. I don't like it stinks for the Carolina Panthers.

The drive is broadcast live in the Law offices of Timothy D. Wellborn Studios learn about the ways Tim Wellborn can help you online@timwellborn.com it's the start of the NBA season tonight. It's the start of the World Series tonight before we move often that the tough news for Wake Forest football today.

The heart of the defense Justin Stern add out for the remainder of the season.

It is a tough way for Stern adds collegiate career in because my understanding of the medical redshirt rule is you have to play in less than half the games in a year in order to file for an Wake Forest is already played seven games this season so I don't think it could happen is a redshirt senior. He's an excellent kid. Somebody understand is a fan of the show as well even tweeted as much when we put out the news on our social media today so really wishing the best for Justin Stern add amp for Wake Forest.

Quite frankly, because he really is the best player on that defense. He is a Capt.

He played in 46 games in his career, starting the last 20 games for the DX and right now is 69 tackles a nice total leads Wake Forest in its seventh in the ACC so hope the best for Justin Stern add and I hope somebody in the NFL is smart enough to pick him next year coming up why I wanted much like bet against Justin Stern add why I wanted bet against Zion Williamson. After this latest injury setback. This is the drive providing you with the latest sports news, Jerry and analysis plus tips on how to cheat at bingo you're on the drive with Josh Gray sports home try the bye week Carolina Panthers Carolina gift set only unbeaten clean and the Santa Clara Sunday, that being Kyle Shanahan, 49ers do anything exciting over the open wide open. I may not let my hair down and saw my grandson play a soccer game. 12 and not to get into it and even aggressive in kicking the ball and and how the blasted analyses, my wife's family affair in Burlington, Alamance County, so it was, it was great and I enjoyed watching symbolic listening to some ball still can't believe it.

Tar Heel Virginia Tech game that was crazy in the NFL. My gosh, what theater over the over the weekend, fun to sit back and look at some of the folks listening 1045 9:20 AM Burlington Mick Mixon broadcast in the Panthers for a good time. Now much of you seen the breaking news in the last 20 minutes that the 49ers have acquired Denver wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in exchange for third and fourth round draft picks next year, but it already looked like a pretty tough matchup Sunday.

How do you see this matchup is at the Panthers biggest test of this point, but without a doubt you have enjoyed looking at San Fran a little bit there defense is very very stout there safety will come up and stop you.

They they get pass rush and a variety of ways. Good tacklers not a lot of yards after after the date they show up in the vicinity they can to get there in a bad frame of mind. Good tackling technique.

Kyle Shanahan always had the play action game like they run the other, they run the ball with a determination to get you wadded up to stop the run and then you may times when Shanahan was with Atlanta.

Do we see Matt Ryan ride the ball in the Coleman or Freeman and then people think you think you know where the ball is and then you don't and there's a long downfield pass a challenge, but I think the Panthers have an exceptional defense think that the team has rallied around Kyle Allen and I don't know if it did seem like it is going to but that it now seems like there is something special about this panther team. It was great to see earlier today. Some of the pictures and videos of cam Newton outside of the practice bubble stretching, working out, participating with trainers on the side actually participating in practice. To this point.

So Alan is going to start on Sunday but it's crazy that this is somehow a divisive topic and it's only taken like a month for us to get to this point may make with the quarterbacks.

What you make of how strongly a non-small contingent of the Panthers fan base feels that Kyle Allen should remain the starting quarterback once can skew foot fuels well about Kyle Allen is starting quarterback for this week and possibly beyond.

I think right here looking at Maria's or Brady you probably don't change away from a hot hand at quarterback Brady. You could argue that black letter law, but you could argue body, your work just bring them bring them back in Bridgewater probably knows he's a bookmark, and he's been fantastic. But without you know what, I got a little different.

I think the foot injury questions about Kenny Kenny plant can he run Kenny jump Kenny leap over tall buildings in a single bound, can he be that dual threat quarterback that that that would come to know Myron love you. If so, then why not look at it in the way that is most favorable to us. Why not look at it is apparent that quarterback and we have to two guys that could win again. We all agreed that this is probably a great problem Carolina knowing you have Kyle Allen while cam is down, and Ron Rivera deserves a lot of credit when people were doubt say where Carol was at with their quarterbacks when cam went down. Heck, even during the preseason Ron. He stuck with Alan and it's been rewarded what he saw and his talent evaluation, but be it with breeze or somewhere else. It's usually the fan base that lacks the superstar unless they express they prefer to play somewhere else, which is not habited all cam Newton. He loves Charlie wants to win the Super Bowl in Charlotte but the fact that there are fans. I don't know if it's being spoiled or something else for them to say hey this guy was one in MVP here probably the most talented single player this franchises ever have. We prefer to have someone else playing under sin. Is it at least interesting to you that this is kind of a talking point not just between us, but around the state of North Carolina.

Yeah, not all social media so I don't believe it or not okay to wear them and plugging it out with people I don't know people who don't really know me, I think that with which cam Newton with Kyle Allen, the psychology of all this is very fascinating is very intriguing but it makes me as mad as can be.

This idea that that the that that there's a group of friends that don't want him anymore. I guarantee you that if cam Newton walked into their place of work or baseball cam Newton if they rolled up on him at a carwash of bile, a restaurant what you think they would behave himself. Of course okay okay okay and and players.

Players know that me, they know that the same people who are criticizing the way he dresses probably pictures in their closet somewhere of them in the disco era where they probably weren't exactly looking like Yves St. Laurent so I just try to focus on the football think it's fantastic that cam is a combat combat competitive, combative warrior king he wants to get back out here talking see this playing out the Carolina Panthers cam Newton internalizes all that and he comes back mad at it and determine even more determined that we already determined, but he comes back even more purposeful even more determined to when he gets his chance show everybody all the tweeters the chatter to the blog are the talkers the Instagram or the face, the Facebook or that they they they did not realize what they were working with. That's about as well as you can put it and I agree with pretty much all of that mixing the voice of the Carolina Panthers with us on sports triad were there any old photos of Mick Once upon a time in the disc that if they had had taking pictures wasn't easy then as it is now.

I would have to move out of state, possibly out of the country.

They become close. Once upon a time was here telling us about how he was big on disk is still after every win at duties dancing with people all over the place danced do this is a question I never thought I'd be asking and in NFL contacts. After last night's Jets Patriots game. It's one that I have to ask the miked up on microphones for ESPN call Sam Donald on the sideline saying this he was seeing ghosts. He said mixing do you believe in ghosts will be there again, but I did not say that with the thinking that he was suffering from head trauma.

What was the content not a side effect of mononucleosis which he was forced to mount for about a month now he was looking at one of those tablets they have on the sideline and he was talking to a coach and he said that he was seeing ghosts while I don't really know me and I don't not something that that I believe in my life and I were going to buy house and then we learned that there were that it was haunted. This would affect my Broadway differently than it would affect me.

We would if she were in charge which he is. We have to have some sort of exorcism some sort of reading of this template, ceremony, candle something or other. Bring somebody in to get the evil spirits away our producer.

By the way, planes, and claims that his house is haunted. Is this true dance that your house is on Wilmot my kids and my niece all proclaimed that it's not that I don't believe in ghosts line.

I can't subscribe to it, but everyone else around the claims amounts haunted what reason. Weird sounds hearing things walking up above us things moving flights stuff like that your house doesn't have those side effects that doesn't, well we were in an apartment now.

We sold our house in Fort Bend will be donning our little bit of a housing transition. Now week so were were we got some apartment now that we've heard that I would rather not be hearing topic probably for another type show. Perhaps it's always good to talk to you about football ghost and whatever else that you so much for doing this. Mix in the voice of the Carolina Panthers kind enough to spend some time with us as he mentioned not on Twitter so there's no place you can follow Mick one of the details.

Can you tell me about your haunted house. I mean I've had I've spent like a month and there by myself. You know when my kids, my wife took off for Ohio. During summers out there alone for a month and didn't see anything here anything funny but they they say there's some sort of I guess spooky vibe to the house which I will attest to there is something kind of you can come to feel weird back to the house when you and there, but haunted or ghosts I'm not really ghosts type, I guess, but that they subscribe to a totally this next segment skin to be tough.

There are three confessions I have to make on air. That's next on the drop. This is dry to be worn. This is extremely small children. Don't let them disturb you back to the dry when Josh grabbed him that I need to make here and I guess since the MBA is opening up tonight. We might as well start with the Lakers and Clippers 1030 tipoff time I'm not staying up for this game. I bet 95. That's an accurate number.

95% of the people listening in this audience right now whoever is hearing my voice here. 95% of you will not be staying up for this basketball game. 1030 tipoff time and I guess it's one of those things where I could be in Raleigh at 9 o'clock in the morning tomorrow so that might factor into it, but even that was probably just staying up for game one of the World Series tonight then I'm calling it quits. There is a few things less meaningful then a single NBA regular season basketball like obviously a major league baseball regular-season game when you got 162 of its something it's very insignificant, but despite that, there were to be so many conclusions drawn tomorrow and I'm not looking forward, MBA, Twitter just being Twitter is very over reactionary, so you have people losing their mind on Jordan right now who said jokingly in a very MJ ask way that Steph Curry isn't the Hall of Famer yet, they lose their mind whatever happens tonight.

Whoever wins between the Lakers and Clippers people are going to lose it went every year in these opening week week or so.

Results happen that turn out not to mean much of anything so I'm not staying up for things that don't mean mean much of anything. I'm fine watching the highlight tomorrow. Kevin Harlan will be on the call the game get to the game the night on CNC and he will be our guest at about this time tomorrow to talk about it so that's my first confession. I'm not staying up for this number two.

The MBA on MBC theme that everybody loves the old one. You know this thing right here so basketball that I know how long been 20 years we cited very excited because of this theme.

It's not one of the three best sports teams of all time.

Not one of the three best that there is I will show you right now what the best sports theme is something when you hear it you know exactly what were talking about. And there is nothing in sports better hello friends hi early April national was right. Tradition unlike any other sisters best sports theme that's number one for me number is probably March madness college basketball and then just Monday Night Football XXL among the best sports team is at the top three in today's sports talk radio.

Everybody's yelling at each other, spewing context just feels good to have that theme even though there are general managers and people who study analytics are sick don't play soft music such as this, because it's not good for radio and reading.

I disagree with that, Josh disagreeing with everybody who thousand tradition unlike any other distance. This is the best theme song best sports theme ever. This right over this right now.

Basketball is objectively better when rotation the March madness theme. It's a pretty Jack so it's a confession that I needed to make. I needed to get this off of my chest but I'm not staying up for Lakers Clippers tonight.

I'm just not and the Masters theme is my favorite sports team of all time, followed by the March madness college basketball theme Monday Night Football not the most accurate portrayal but then you have the MBA stuff. Maybe after that 336-777-1600 on Twitter at sports triad.

If you have thoughts on that I can get with you on the NCAA back the March madness thing moment all I remember all five of anything with those highlight the end of life that is going just fine if space is the next thing I know we do that, you get what you saw there happy all just won a national you can put Beethoven on that music like to be happy that I don't remember the whole Luther Vandross got replaced by Jennifer Hudson for bringing this name bad so not a good song last confession year.

If there's a pre-1970s classic in movies I haven't seen it.

I've blamed on this show to be a movie savant. I love movies.

I'm an enthusiast. I don't really like action movies much I like Ron Tom's. I'm not afraid to the cop to it come II love movies that are kind of a bummer have no problem watching those if it's depressing. I'm in on that too.

But pre-1970s movies classics I haven't seen it, let me clarify something Wizard of Oz. So why II saw those movies growing up. Haven't seen them since I've been an adult. I tried to watch Citizen Kane one time because the real film snobs that this this movie is unbelievable, man. It's one of the most influential movies ever.

You're gonna watch Citizen Kane fell asleep halfway through, so gone with the wind hadn't seen it Casablanca. Haven't seen it sound of music, not as though Lawrence of Arabia. Nope, West side story. Not saying these movies are bad.

That's not what I'm saying I am saying that if it's made before 1970. There's probably about 100% chance I haven't seen it, and I'm probably never going to see us just where I'm go to Jay in Jamestown who wants in on the sports theme music subject J where are you falling in terms of picking a theme song you like yesterday from Jamestown Junior create double corndog double cry so much. There I am here that that's a very good okay sorry about that.

Very good.

I can hear the companies right now and I cannot believe you left the Olympic theme song all will will that's an excellent but we only really continue really get every four years so I know you're getting asterisk on that but I did have a calling and I like this new rule that we set every caller that we get like when we do a giveaway today so it's Wake Forest into state football tickets.

It is given away a $50 kickback jacks gift card were doing that today before every single one of those calls. I want to know what your go to cookout orders. That's the new policy ownership like we can do here. We get what we can. I didn't even tell you what my go to cookout order. We didn't what is rig double burger with lettuce, mustard, ketchup, and bacon on the burger, no cheese sides. I'm going chicken quesadilla and fries used to go Dr Pepper to drink. Haven't been back since I've been off soda. I haven't last night was the first I ate a burger like too much greater welcome so I'm kind of their what club the anti-soda club will that too in the stayaway from red meat as much possible cleverness at the point where I reward myself once a week. I asked the question on the Internet.

That's the best place to go.

How do you eat healthy during football season because I'm in a place where I go to two maybe three games a week and it's good to get even crazier in the month of November. It's not generally the most healthy food that they have at these places.

For instance, if I get awake basketball game though.

Give me a a voucher and it's great that they provide food for us. We appreciate that, but you go to the conch concourse and your options are tenders, burger or has pretty much at the burger. The tenders okay yet so there hard to really resist that antistate Norco and whoever else might be.

It's usually burgers and dogs the Panthers they have the and then at halftime. They have hotdogs again and after the game. There's pizza and there's a damn ice cream, self-serving machine like you gotta be careful ice cream machine.

Keep following you around describe how my supposed to resist when they just keep following me around like dose like random spot.

They just pop up and follow me around like the ghost in the field that Sam Arnold staring at yes yes you want. Speaking of that other instances in sports where athletes claim to have seen ghost and the only one I could find this audio coming courtesy of ESPN radio Derrick Rose in his second year in the league got so scared at this Oklahoma City hotel thinking that it was haunted that he went into James Johnson's room was on the team at the time and forced him onto the floor and took his bed because he believed his room was haunted.

This is some of that from James Johnson.

This is probably five or six years ago and we walked along the graph we got there all here with upside down and picked out the chair and there he immediately turned white and took off running. Scary.

It's clearly his teammates who did my first thought was joking. Those on the money that sounds like something you can know the only reason you might think it is because Derrick Rose was a rookie anymore.

So you immediately default. I'm not a rookie anymore. It must be almost the same person. Last week woke up in the middle of the night had like a nightmare and then felt something like under the covers. So I got out of bed, rather than just like ignoring and going back to sleep and slept on the couch waiting when he was sleeping on my head to look at this slip on the couch. I got out of my bed cross your mind that maybe it was Winnie. It wasn't Winnie I would know if it was Winnie she was in the room. So are you are you firmly in the supernatural ghost camp. I believe in ghosts sure. I believe in part by your friends. Hi guys, pizza and more than Clemens of Louisville, Clemmons Road, great sponsor of the program for the grand slam people at pizza. Reagan, sugarcane, pie, and also visit them because they might have ghosts. No close. Just kidding hi guys, not, what that rate you elicited WS just went down the VCR to Greensburg Burlington for High Point. The signals picking up dry when Josh Gray is more spacious and he knows his horse back to the drive Josh grandma sports hub triad finding a CC ranking to host our local seven hour block in the afternoon and see sports.com weekly ACC rankings and their thieving blend now with every week at this time you could find his rankings. My ring again@accsports.com not a shocker that the very top will get to the ACC football topics in a bit, but we need to get the most important stuff Sam Donald last night said he was seeing ghosts when he was miked up on ESPN's Monday Night Football was probably the best use of the miked up segment we've ever seen DG do you believe in ghosts that I'd like burger all will all and onion rings and you excellent work there, done great job. That's the requirement to get into the today show. Now on the ghost like my children taught me the right way to order. I had to learn about sex last night. His gaze is denying five free yards. They looked at Bella Jackie smirking.

He's a robot never smiles. It's the same look Southerners have when they hear Northerners order it cookout for the first time was in which your wino about so I figured order already woke Diane back up quite miked up.

You know me well enough to know that I love being an independent journalist. In fact, when some people here that I created the Port Charlotte sports.com.

They assume that were officially affiliated with week which were not young person I did videos and books and other things that had to be approved by the ACC or had to be approved by Duke or Carolina Wright did some work for Ray, the big TV partner the league for a while and one of the reasons that the very young man that I tended toward the independent and did not really like the official guide is people having to approve my work right if it's historical figure thing if it's relevant. I wanted to include it, but if you car your right basketball array, our right to determine the league or the school one approval miked all situations, whether it be partners to traditional broadcasters or in this case NFL films I'm reminded of the trade-off right like the NFL in the league want to cooperate with people who are giving them billions of dollars in money product they want to draw lines as well and as soon as Sam Darnall was painted in a negative light like the ghost and it looked like Bill Belichick was a young quarterback said I knew Gates wasn't going to like that. I knew he would get a day we find out what were obligated to do and what were not obligated to do the fascinating gray area to me. When you move from truly independent journalism to something where you're happy in bed with the school or the league that you're covering because it gets really complicated once you get into those wheat and that's why were talking about it today because we've grown accustomed to. Yes, it's just leagues or to be TV networks boasting the axes they get because of these massive contracts they sign with leagues and as you mentioned there in bed with them but DG I feel like you're sidestepping the issue.

Do you believe in ghosts.

I do not all though I love The friendly ghost, and when Demi Moore thought he saw both. I like the more so much that that I've ever called nobody can believe it got excellent work there. The NBA season tips off tonight so I soon will have like the plug dinner miked up segment. You'll see exactly what were talking about. It's probably good to be useless. Sound but Desmond is convinced this is the best sports theme of all time.

This right here it's so great. It hasn't been on television in an official sense in 20 years VA on NBC right. I don't know the last time the NBC carried basketball. The NBA specifically but it's been a while for me this. This was seen as a hot take. I don't really view that is one of the top three when I'm trying to figure out what the best one is I start something that we have in the month of April, something that is a little call then what you just heard there. It specifically the Masters when you go to it. The Masters is when I look at where you start. Well I don't know exactly because I don't have a button to put you up the audio what I believe it's an old Monday Night Football back got way before. I think that was you or Hank Williams Junior with thing in the Monday Night Football theme in all that I love that I'm not anti-lyric dialogue when that got you charged up game of the week in terms appear instrumental. That's probably the one that jumps out of my head. This is here for me it's the Masters tradition. Unlike you yes yes hello friends, just a national that's probably where I get I will keep this music going… Next question in Nancy's calm Masters voice would be enjoined by David Glenn posted on Twitter at David Glenn show I'm looking at the ACC pool.

It is really hard to whisper in this voice. I figured out this point. DG would you be surprised considering what we seen in the coastal if it wasn't Pittsburgh or Virginia playing in the ACC title. I would be surprised.

I think that they were my pre-victim sticking with them although they have some injury issues as do others of course have only one lot double the yield all have to. I do think Caroline is talented enough to make a run, but you know that it can't be that got away a chance to be awake and it got away a chance to beat Virginia Tech and he got away so I don't how much confidence I can have the background of the Tar Heels will start winning more of those close games they're doing three or what what is yet to and three in the closest games. I guess all that one has been close. I think Virginia between the beat member.

They arty have a head-to-head win over if they need that is the tiebreaker later.

I wouldn't surprise me if it came down that Virginia Virginia Tech game at the end of the regular season will remember that. Hope you have been on the right end of that for over a decade. So wouldn't it be interesting if the Cavaliers chance to actually make a trip to the game for the first time in the context of having to try to beat the hokey for the first time in forever. That scenario wouldn't surprise me at all.

My theory on this.

I am Williams is not to play tonight as raptors unveil a banner against Zion list New Orleans pelicans exam for the next 6 to 8 weeks with a torn meniscus in his he's a physical enigma, and I'm not betting against him last year. A lot of people said that he needed to cut weight in order to be competitive in the ACC and he dominated all throughout last year. He almost broke college basketball essentially without good was and I get the injury that he had for a couple weeks but I thought I was more freak accident than anything that indicated he needed to drop weight he didn't wear a blue afterwards and people even close to the program and told me that if it was March Zion Williamson probably plays through pain and we learned that he had a high pain threshold because according to the reporting by the athletic.

They didn't even know he had a torn meniscus and don't even know specifically when he sustained the injury because he is 29 and 10 in the preseason game against the Spurs that he allegedly had the injury. The guys a freak I'm not betting against freak athleticism that we've only seen a couple times in our lifetimes.

What's your level of concern for as I am Williams you are not betting against the human body is designed only take so much and we have a rare physical that sometimes carries 280 or so on 67 freight and am no doctor, but no, we see him. Certainly a lot of sportswear. There's repetitive motion eventually. Even if you have a great golf swing, shoulder and neck, back and knee or some combination of the above starts to go to guy for 20 years and I have a partially turn toward left rotator cuff to show for me there certain motions that just can't be duplicated that happen as often in basketball. But the bigger guys to carry more weight are putting more pressure on their hips and their knees and now Zion has had more than one issue with his lower body will with you finally get to pick Zion going to be great or Zion going to fall flat out sick and dying and going to be great and I even think it.

Preseason performance underlined that he can do it his way, even to get the best that all players in the world, even against your better shot blockers in the paint where he likes to live better. I hope injuries don't make this a moot question so that none Zion Williamson and I have a feeling you be one of the best rookies in the NBA. What you weeks going in today. I already didn't feel good about the Panthers matchup against San Francisco.

Considering how well they run the ball versus Panthers even though they been a great turnover defense they've been susceptible to great rushing teams given up a lot of rushing yards and also how well they stop the run. The number one title defense Kyle Shanahan, 49, then we get the news were going on the air today DG that they just acquired Emmanuel Sanders in exchange for 1/3 round draft pick of next year.

So now it's a rushing team that has more passing ability more options for Jimmy to Rob Lowe to distribute the ball between I don't think it's a good matchup for Carolina.

What about you have a good great game, but I don't think they belong in the same conversation, New England Patriots. The only other undefeated I'm not even sure they belong in the conversation with the Vikings and the Packers on the faith and the other best records in the NFC will think maybe it will prove me wrong. Raptors made will prove me wrong. In the longer sentence, but what I like Panthers have gone from one of the worst pass rush as well.

Some of the best sex numbers in the 49ers have one, mainly because of dominated Richard Sherman backfield, but even more so the front seven, led by Nick both. I don't think the score 49ers what not great loops equally and now change a really good pass rush can get Jimmy drop along the run can create some turnovers that's your recipe for a road victory. So I agree with you about the addition of Sanders. That doesn't make it easier, but I think the Panthers need to lean on their defense and ask them to bring all the wind the way that defense.

The Bay Buccaneers game was out of reach and stuff. The couple of others in this form to start. We had so much fun this past weekend with the big tailgate tour being in Winston-Salem. It was you, myself, Darren Vaught and company at the last resort for right off of Deacon Boulevard thanks to those tailgate tour and then we went on the tailgate lots had some fun as well be at Duke, North Carolina, as we will be as well on Saturday right. That is our final Chapel Hill. So will be set up on Franklin Street at our usual place in. I want to meet after catching a great game with the wake that one. In retrospect we get you one of our rivalry game. Carolina later this season. We get you Carolina on Saturday afternoon and as background been saying all along different Chapel Hill environment for college football stadium and even though the heels of comebacker little bit. I have a feeling it's going to be jacked up for homecoming and jacked up for a chance to get some revenge on the blue Devils you had the better. It's a good spot. You have next to the Methodist Church spitting distance from top of the hill right there on Franklin Street and we look forward to seeing out there on Saturday for the visit is always DG, man, great drive-through window.
