The Drive with Josh Graham - NCAA Slams Georgia Tech

This is dry when Josh Graham drive you towards others right NCAA hammered basketball and vomited the state and the span I here's what the NCAA handed down today.

A postseason band for next year which you may laugh at cool Georgia Tech spam of the postseason. I'm also banned from hanging out with Kate Upton, Brooklyn Decker, but there's much more than that. You gotta read further than just the postseason back it's four years probation, a reduction of scholarships and official visits, and they're also finding the Yellowjackets of 2% of their basketball budget. In addition to the 5000 self-induced find they announced in March. Their crimes and assistant financed a $300 at $3300 strip club visit for a recruit with Jarrett Jack and window Carter paying for airline tickets, sneakers, clothing also meals for four players were currently on the roster and I don't want to minimize any of that. But this investigation didn't require FBI intervention. Unlike Kansas and NC states cases. Today's headline sends this message to the Jayhawks in the pack. The NCAA is not messing around here these infractions. They seem minor compared to what NC State and Kansas charges have been at least when you read the notice of allegations Kansas I think should be worried.

Most because there are similar crimes." Crying the Kansas has committed or alleged to have committed committed to what Georgia Tech just got punished for Georgia Tech's case involves impermissible benefits and also the involvement of booster. That's the biggest thing the NCAA hammered Georgia Tech for the involvement of boosters in the recruiting of players that have been happening improperly, Kansas has all the stuff with the Adidas exec that you could argue is a booster and TJ – Nola if Kansas can't argue that – Nola wasn't a booster all along here then you can expect the punishment we saw today from Georgia Tech for Georgia Tech to be the baseline of what Kansas is going to get as well. There's a show calls for a former Georgia Tech assistant here a three year show cause in the NCAA is focused in the Kansas case more on the head coach than this year. Georgia Tech got faster not named as much in this recent infraction in this punishment handed down Bill self is one of the primary targets in the Kansas investigation. But on top of that, it's lack of institutional control. It far bigger stuff with it. I have trouble believing that this punishment being handed down as the notice of allegations is sent out the Kansas last week and NC State a few months ago. I have trouble believing it's coincidental that the NCAA is this heavy-handed here as we're waiting to see just how heavy-handed they will be with the schools involved with the FBI investigation and money laundering and recruits being funneled money for the shoe company. The NCAA they been pushed around constantly. It kind of reminds me of my favorite scene in that terrific Ezra Edelman OJ made in America. Dr. Siri does. Did you ever watch that the five-part 10 hour Ezra Edelman, OJ Doc series Jackson was a thick sweater for little bit. That was the only time I ever watched a documentary and thought this has a shot at winning an Oscar for best picture documentaries generally don't qualify for that category and that one did not ultimately but I was the only time I thought maybe it's the best thing I believe ESPN's ever.and the final episode of that went. OJ is finally facing punishment for the civil crimes that were far less than what he was accused up and got off Scott free. With the murder charges and arrests in the previous decade as he's being read. The punishment Carl Douglass who was one of the defense attorneys for OJ started talking about the idea of the fifth quarter that his high school football team was bad but while they were losing in the fourth quarter. They started thinking about the fifth quarter and not for the quarter was in the parking lot where they got back. I think this is the NCAA using they're going to use the legwork that's been done by the FBI, which gave them resources.

They never had before with subpoena power and in court testimony. They're going to try and use that to fight back after the last decade and 1/2 of embarrassment and botching many of these cases Miami and the Shapiro stuff overreaching with the Joe Paterno Jerry Sandusky case, the list goes on and on letting North Carolina did off with just a slap on the wrist. This could be the NCAA trying to let the schools know who's running the show here and we'll see how much of it can step here's the good news for NC State.

The NCAA does seem focused on the individual with Kansas. They're looking at Bill self.

In their case it seemed like Mark Gottfried was the primary target Gottfried in early were fired by NC State. There no longer there.

Unlike Bill self was a Hall of Famer still in place, it can't also it's not a booster issue. So it's hard to really equate the crimes here and try and speculate what the punishment is going to be for NC state by looking at this Georgia Tech case when NC State stuff doesn't really regard boosters at all.

Also think about how long this took. We learned about the Georgia Tech allegations. While we were at the ACC tournament. I was sitting probably about 100 feet away from Josh Krasner when he was on the phone practically the entire second half of the game and we learned why the next morning he was learning that his program had just received notice of allegations from the NCAA that was in Charlotte at the ACC tournament that took six months for this to come down NC State received their notice of allegations a few months ago, Kansas last week. Both schools have 90 days to react and send a response and then the NCAA can responded that it's going to take time.

It's not going to affect this Wolfpack season. Don't worry you got Martell Johnson back and you should be in NCAA tournament team. It's not little effect this year, but 2021 that remains to be seen. Thoughts are welcome. 336-777-1600 show at sports of dryad cleansing head football coach Dabo Sweeney is going to join us and about 25 minutes. Let's go to Ed in Winston-Salem.

Once in on this Georgia Tech punishment by the NCAA. The NCAA in my mind, hammering Georgia Tech your Ed what you have for you.I grew up my first 18 years and candor, relative, friend of really still there. This Kansas bill is a way way way overdue. Not with the paying of the players necessarily, but also all the off duty.

You know, stuff is been going on there original sexual affairs and rapes and the people will you know was salting the women tearing up dorms and a lot of other things going on by primarily concern is would you be in favor of the NCAA is fitted this three-month crap cutting it back you think it really takes three months you note for either side to go and then you gotta go through the infractions another two or three months. So what am primarily concerned is that Kansas, in all likelihood is not going to hear anything until after the season is over and what really bothers me.

What the heck happens if they would win.

I know if a one-day NCAA championship. They're going to vacate those victories and take down the banners but that sure as heck is not going to happen. You'll save on the Carolina family of Carolina played them for the championship really got knocked out you'll finally to go with it. Also what what your opinion you think they could shorten the amount of time that they could get this process done, I don't know. I don't know if the going to speeded up. I imagine these things and it takes time. I think what you're referring to with Kansas why it might be of interest to get something done this year is the eligibility of Silvio Asus he's gonna be playing this year. He sat out last year did NCAA rules violations and there was some stuff where you try to figure out how we ended up at Kansas but my guess would be it's not an adequate.

I think it's going to happen after this basketball season ends because that's the process in place and Kansas just like any other school has the right to take advantage of the rules that are in place here we saw how long it was dragged out with North Carolina in the NCAA and I'm not saying it's good to drag out that long with this, but every school has a right to a defense and Kansas sure they're going to have quite the flight to defend that program and that Hall of Fame coach but I'd be surprised if it takes any longer than a year. I bet next summer. Right around this time talk about this with Georgia Tech were probably getting here with you.

Happily, Kansas and maybe NC state slightly before that dry broadcast live in the Law offices of Timothy D. Wellborn studios learn more about the ways Tim Wellborn can help you online.

It's in Wellborn.com.

You'll know when you need us coming up in evident generational gap between perhaps a future NFL Hall of Famer and cam Newton. This is the drive is okay. Thank you, Josh Gray Fox sports hub triad. We are Sharon with Darren from the David Lynch into our studio now appreciate Dabo Sweeney spending some time with us.

These are the words that I think will perk up. Most eyebrows across sports Adams Shafter reports on twitter. Whatever follows were at peak at this attention and he just waited something out a few minutes ago. It's a breaking news story will get to the baseball in a minute.

Are you ready for this Darren is there anybody else that you have that kind of feel for no maybe maybe load aside from 50 and quite frankly I just would rather not hear the Billy I was so you would except to say breaking news.

According Adams Shafter Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will be the halftime performers for Super Bowl LIV Super Bowl LIV in Miami.

They're going to be other performance added to this, but it's good to be a Miami flavor for the next Super Bowl. I don't know Shakira has any ties to Miami. I think she's actually Colombian but Jennifer Lopez is Ginny's block Jenny from the block is a block Miami. I thought he was from the work, but no, I don't know if this really is a Miami flavor. I know A-Rod is from Miami and I guess they are engaged so maybe that's the time she's Puerto Rican right and Hampshire's plea of no Puerto Rican words you love. So I thought.

She's from New York and brought so I understand that the mean she has mass appeal anywhere right will have to go to Miami for Jennifer Lopez to be an appropriate halftime act going back to the old halftime. That's what's happening here where free Justin Timberlake situation with Janet Jackson. It was just a barrage of people. It was just in that show. You had Nelly wearing or did he wearing a Julius peppers Jerzy and Nelly rolling up in the car that was shaped like a football to do hot in here. It was just at different time back then. But now Jennifer Lopez at Shakira will be performing the halftime show and I think these are orders that you need to have accompaniment because Jennifer Lopez. I don't think she has enough it's like it's what years ago and I don't hear those songs played on the radio that off the deck with respect to Jenny from the block and that's all she did with job rule on real. Aside from that excellent track. Thank you so much. I think I don't know why am saying thank you, but what about the way that you write. I'm real. I thought you were saying you were apprised that I knew by Jayla. I mean fly when you're welcome like a wonderful song job right.

It is one Shakira for both of the hips are truthful, very truthful. Shakira like This.

I Will Say This Is Kind of an It's a Little Bit of It like the Both a Little Bit Older, so It's Not Quite As Risqué, but to Your Point All of Their Hits Are of the Risqué Nature Right or Came When They Were Mean. They're Both Still Hot, but When They Were Younger and Hot so I Know It's a Little Hot in Terms of Popular or You Actually Talking about Their Appearance.

Here's the Thing Josh As I Could Mean Both There Will Be a Crazy Thing so We Just Had Dabo What You Were Just Telling Me in Studio You're Sitting Here Listening to the Interview Quietly As We Were Talking I Was Trying to Get You Had a Monarchy Was on Her Station Earlier This Week on Your Show, the David Glenn Show That You Produce and You Had Quite a Snafu Right before We Went on the Air. Something Was Going on with the Phones. Indeed, You Are Able to Get Dabo on and You Had to Take a Break. I Was Worried with His Schedule Be in the Number One Coach of the Country Right That You Might Say That Now I Can't Do It Anymore and Had to Be This Time and You Can't Keep Me Longer. What Exactly Was Going on during That Commercial Break Because He Came Back and I Don't Think There's Another Coach in America That Would Return the Way from the Bot Segment. Technically, the Way Dabo Did, Where He Just Allows Does That Number One Coach of the Country Apparently Done so to Answer Your Question, I Developed an Ulcer.

While That Was Happening to Be a Little Bit More Specific. We Had There Was Some Situation with Whatever Phone He Was Trying to Use a Clemson so As You Might Imagine Dabo Sweeney As High Profile Guys He Is. He Calls Us Normally.

So He Called I Was Talking to Them off the Air. Hey Coach I Was Going Great Man Can't Wait to Talk to DG and Light Them up and and the Way That the Technical Stuff Works. You Have To Hit a Switch to Put Him on the Air and Then You You Adjust the Volume on As You Guys Know but I'm Explaining to the Listeners. So When I Switched Him over and Turned up the Volume.

There Was Nothing He Said He Could Hear Us. He Can Hear DG Introducing Him and Asking Him a Question, but We Got Nothing from Him and I Was like I Picked up Us in Order to Try Different Line Is We Have Multiple Phone Lines As You Might Imagine, Yes We Do. You Guys Know That Saying It for the Listeners.

We Have like Six Phone Lines and I Pull up One of Them and I'm like Oracle You Sound Great. All Clear What about the Same Thing. Not Happening.

Then I Tell DG on the Talkback Which Is Something That You Can Hear Is Listeners.

I Say Let's Take a Break I Can Figure This out and I Don't Know Why I Did That Because It Was a Five Minute Commercial Break and I Had the Number One College Football Teams Coach on the Phone and I Just I Explained It. Dabo Was like I Don't Know What's Going on. Is There Another Line Goes Just Call My Cell and so He Hung up I Called Him on His Cell Phone Humble Direct. I Called Him on His Cell Phone and It Was His Idea to Be Clear, Humble Brain; the Cell Phone and Then after Dial after This Flick Four Minutes of Trying to Figure out the Segment. An Additional Five Minute Break We Were Scheduled to Have Them at 230 Wealthier Remembrance Three It's 240 at This Point, so Our Window Is Closing so That We Can by God and Is Just like That Because I Asked Him to out What before I Went on the Second Time Because Desi Can Appreciate This Is a Producer I Was Not about to Try 1/3 Time and Not Have Them on yet so There Is This Technology That We Can Use to Our Advantage Called Putting Something in Q without Dez. Here's Sound and Edit Sound before He Puts It on the Air for Everyone to Hear.

So I Can Put the Phone in Q so I Checked I Asked Dabo Because I Do Not Want to Further Waste His Time. I Say Dabo, I'm Gonna Put Your Phone in QI Don't Expect You to Know What That Means but Essentially I'm Going to Be Able to Hear You without You Being on the Air. Would You Mind to like Count to 10 or Something.

Sweeney. Sweeney Says Not a Problem to. I Got You Were Perfect Number or Stop Them Make Him Count to His Resume That He Got a Glimpse of Tigers Calton for Coach Stark County Grenoble.

It's Just Simply Incredible. I Want to Get These Baseball Things Very Quickly. Can We Do This Rapidfire Style. There Sure What I'm Not of Things Going on Last Night.

What Is the Better Highlight for You. Really This Week. The Fact That the National Starting 19 and 31 Clinched Not Only Clinched Did so against Bryce Harper and His Phillies or Bob Uecker Celebrating in the Locker Room Last Night As the Brewers Clinched Its Rebukes with out Question.

I Am Bryce Harper, Apologist in Many Ways. I Forewarned You, I Believe. I Believe Finished in a Session of Sharon with Darren at the Beginning of the Baseball Season Warn Everybody That the Nationals Were to Be. It Was Good to Be Addition by Subtraction and They Were Also Going to Be Very, Very, Very Good, so I Don't Know Doesn't Surprise Me. I Don't Take Joy in the Idea That They Did It against Bryce like Some of the Fans. From What I've Seen and Read and Heard Work Were Kind of Ugly to Him, but It's Bob Uecker Right. I Mean Come on, Players Need to Stop Crossing the Fans by the Way I'm Not Condoning Talking about Children Were Race Condoning Racism in the Stands but Bryce Harper Saying That Guys Just Being Mean and That the Fans Really Love Him Better in Philadelphia.

The Same People That Were Billing Him This Year When He Was Playing for Their Team and Hated Him for Eight Years before. Just a Ridiculous Thing You Know It Just As Well Are Intimately Let out His Fans in the Same Thing I Know, I Know That They're Saying It's the Kids in the Family Being Involved in This but That's Probably Three or Four Jackasses the Rest of Them Come on, He's There Doing What Fans Do Not like I Did It and and Look Bryce Harper Is Is Making $300 Million on This Contract.

That's A Lot Of Money.

He Is Gold Someone Who Is Doing ACC Is Been on Work with the ACC Magazine. Gotta Fall Basketball Addition That's Good to Be Coming out Very Soon. The Stuff from Myself and David Glennon Beatty to Such an Excellent job@accsports.com you can find him on Twitter at ACC sports be guys_bird let's get to the imaging I'm told is just to elaborate or how nonsensical the segmented horrifying story time for some real ride out with Josh Graham and show me welcome Jill into the movie game on euros Desmond Johnson and today's segment will be on movies that have Tigers to commemorate having a coach that will Sweeney on this okay movies with Tigers and not that so were to start off with Darren today. Wow your first movie line. The first movie going to get offended for me Josh not offended all that way. The first movie Darren's life hi I knew you were going to say that why did I know you were to say that I love life of pi. I think that's a tremendous movie hire.

It's one of those babies.

I just love the first time I watch it even though it's really just two characters and a guy is on a boat with Tiger essentially the entire time you like.

I did and I think most who watched it did as well.

So if everybody's got their scores written down ago and revealed mine, I got my written down writer 81 Brian I don't think this is going to be an accurate score, but that's okay, some to string play game with him.

Honestly the life of pi to give it a 3.1 that that works out all the decimal point out even stop it. It is that your final answer or game within the game okay and Josh was nominated for best picture critics score to be in the 90s.

I'm going 90 or for life of blind the actual score under factual support for life of pi was amazingly 3.1 port number is 87 all wore their good. It's not good enough playing this game dating back to the days in Greenville when I was hosting a show for years and I never won this damn game. Not one time. I love movies so much this game one time we play before the job here let me when and I couldn't win anyway.

You're too emotional. You like, you know, come down just like relax and just play the game in the next the next movie. I feel great about the fun game and having fun. The next movie is the jungle book 2016 live version.

Well, I guess, my back and this is good this is good have a duty score tip your hand before and Brian Brian with the first letter is ready. See, I watch the King BG no I did not.

After much anticipation, I must say I was. I got a little afraid because some of the early reviews early returns were not supporting the cast is phenomenal as it was one of the best takes I've had all year. I knew it was good to be a good movie because animals don't a mode so like when you spoil her. Simba dies no sin but does not dive and father.I stare got his corpse motion. I need some of that you don't get it with real life, because animals don't about life right away run. I'll go with the Oco with 59 Josh 61 and are returning to their 52. Darn the actual critics score for the jungle book was a 95 on no way people love John Favreau, man, no way. I have robotlike does that mean currently is better than the original going to the final movie I might have the lead here if my math is correct, which it probably is and actually want this Josh is in the lead followed by Darren and Ryan with that pie score for early, really, misty up your railing, but my health I downed it style points for in my mind I'm adding 30 points house, deducting how much my upland they were going to the final movie about eight right which means were still golden movie range Brian off by quite a bit. I think 7070 is the final moving your final movie in the category of movies with Tigers in them is the kingdom that is one of the best cameos are not the target of Mike Tyson by ice and it was his night.

It was so while you gentlemen are writing your scores in this regard around here. This is tricky because this was well received. But not in a like a critical sense there Darren is play the game before Darren has played the game before some in their trip.

You see, I think that was just the perfect moment in the movie theater where you didn't see it coming and Mike Tyson just punches him in the face.

It's one of the best cameos I can remember the last 15 years he still got it.

Also also the credits at the end, sitting in a movie theater watching all of those things that were on the camera roll that movie which was directed by Todd Phillips is doing the Joker movie that comes out next week. It was also probably the best comedy the last 10 years. Well, that was long enough for your two contestants beside you to go and look up the actual score was for right now they're not audit on computers on a computer in front of I don't trust a lot of you but Josh refers 7272 I said 73 race right and Brian so I was at a 75 here 550's and try to undercut these guys would know all go to all go 74 ago you like Jeopardy style to catch up and let him on the nose. I win. If not, the critics score for the hangover was 78 golden movie here we go. Triggers are golden movie here playing the game of dry guys during Darren Vaught. Now I am flailing. I close the next question never made it this far before. So in the gold living around your previous court, dollars is it counts. The final score is will I think Darren game 1.0 me if my math is right, by seven. That is correct with the map on the radio. Note the critics say that mapping the radio doesn't work, I say, not the radio sounds. Critics say jungle book was good enough to alright so your golden movie. This may be a tricky one.

Gentlemen particular movie from the way 2000 while old on what kind of animation is this this animated movie drone with her and would mean does not need to tease it like it's up to the Disney movie. It's not like the Christopher Robin is not yet walk around and see that greatly impacts the way I'm score this. I think I think I noted it and really go Brian first on the arm still and Debbie do you get I will go with the boy kibosh on the dark here.

Let's go 65 to get it right on the Josh 69. You want me to say it and I'm not going to say another mind like to give you that satisfaction here to win their 46 well now trauma Tigger movie from your 2000 score was 86. The winner Josh Graham who has won this contest got 30 seconds to all the people doubted me to the table. I will now look at me now is radio show.

You really like you really like me. I will just say I'm looking at BG's scoresheet and he was within four and three of those last closed on the last two days the game away. I took of me on the first play good, I might be some point she won the day. To me that's always going for honestly DG I got yesterday show I have Louisville winning the ACC good thick bad. Not good for coming.

I think any of Duke over you and CR are all great fixed when the ACC this year and make a final four Thanksgiving everybody on Twitter at the guys_bird ACC sports.com Darren you might stick around for a little longer. Never, never, never mind.

I never mind that's what I'm saying next the best college football player I've ever seen is in the news this week. Real sports fan right ranging psychotic call sports Drive with Josh Graham. It is race week in Charlotte North Carolina right down the road as we have the Bank of America removal 400 coming up this weekend.

It is a full weekend of event with the Bojangles qualifying date Morrow and then the drive for the cure to 50 on Saturday and the week and culminates of course with the Bank of America Robo 400 on Sunday with a prerace concert with Chris Lane and Mario Andretti now be enjoying by a NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Dale Jarrett who now of course you know them from NBC Sports talking about what's going to transpire Sunday at Charlotte motor Speedway. Welcome back on and the triad Dale how are you doing great.

U have a me own and you pointed out there really exciting weekend. With their right into the playoffs on Saturday and and then moving on to it cut right vulnerable own many possibilities there. I just can't wait to get to that part of the faculty. How this is all go player. How would you have fared on a track like this say not as good as I would've wanted to road courses were my forte.

My own work during our better years. We were able to get good finishes out of it. I want to pull a walking plan something totally different. I think I would've loved the challenge if different and talk to the drivers about the different everything that they say is that I'm walking plan for Sonoma yet. If not, the thing you one fact you is not not any faster than what one not even more difficult is just different and I'll think I would've liked a challenge and and yet they got something different again this year I had last year with the chicane on the back straightaway is going to be much more of an opportunity for a passing dome much slower through their if they making changes with that. So I think I would've again enjoy the challenge don't know that I would've been a contender when one of the what makes race we can Charlotte different from Daytona, Dagon, and other benchmark stops on the NASCAR circuit. I think one of the biggest thing. When you think of Charlotte and I don't care what agent what Eric came from. When you go to Charlotte. Now you understand that it was one of the first Speedway in Speedway and track really change the way that it looks a total facelift of this facility and all about the fan opportunity for the fans to get closer to the action combat condos down in turn one if you wanted to do that and so many things. The garage area for something we've never seen before and they just continue to upgrade all of that and all the name of the fans and giving them a great experience when they come there and I think that's what makes it different. Sure, the other place that are doing a lot of the thing think that Charlotte was the first to really step out into something that we hadn't seen before and I think that continues to shine through. Even for the younger got the come along now and all they know what they think there but there continued the improvement and in changes and the rent will be one of those changes. You know what everybody necessarily love the idea what they were doing what they got there they understood the change was good. The fans were excited about it but put on two days of great writing. It's the Bank of America Robo 400 for tickets you can find them online@charlottemotorspeedway.com were chatting with Dale Jarrett NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee couple years ago from NBC Sports being that you are from North Carolina to pick up North Carolina sports teams you note, got pretty much North Carolinian. I will everything go well here part of the economy goes so I bent behind the hornet.

From there, first time here in and then still back here again you look at everything that that's going on with the Panthers. I was thinking ticketholder from the very beginning. Not anymore.

You like to attend games and follow them. You say okay you following your who are your team. I grew up a New York Yankees fan, from 5 to 6 years old in the baseball world and hope in the NFL. Mainly because I will meet Johnny Unitas when I was a kid, you happen to be at a rate my dad within in Martinsville, Virginia and and I got the opportunity to meet him think that I look at with that but but supporting North Carolina team through their I'm a big fan of them in like a whale just like being with the Charlotte motor good for our economy and if we can continue to do that and think going to be better for all of us here and it's interesting that you admire Johnny Unitas racing's in your blood. Of course with your family race for 24 years before jumping into the broadcast booth was your sports hero basically got that mean… Take a lot of things from a lot of people that that I look at early years but I didn't have to look far your my dad was gone. NASCAR team at the high level Hall of Fame inductee himself a 150 right.

I didn't have to go far to get the if I think that look up to someone that had done think the right way and live their life the right way that was not bad but if you look into other important people that I looked at him and thought about. I looked at Jack Nicholas as he played golf and then Tiger Woods later he came along just how they went about being champions. Michael Jordan can call a friend now that someone that I've known for a lot of years. I followed his career, obviously from being from North Carolina and watching how he get think I looked it people that one.

Keeping Jeff a call, necessarily that I could be as great as what they were but they were champions and that's what I aspire to be importantly enough for me. I was able to continue on a path that you're taking things from all of them that allow me to see what keeping it that was different from up there so many talented people you're talking about.

And if it NASCAR racing wicked what I know most about their people out there that that don't ever get the opportunity that might would've been a champion but I got that offer cheating when you get that opportunity want to make the most did you ever golf Michael Jordan you have not quite got my plate right in front of the minute event like Tahoe that they have the American thinker championship lay in a number of years after I retired in 2008, but we never have played together. We had a lot of laughs on the dock or standing around waiting in and watch each other plate, but I haven't had that back in the day was you going head-to-head with the intimidator, Dale Senior one of course, in 1993 and a lot of people remember that when but the son of course became one of the biggest names in the sport and is still very much that is one of your colleagues now and NBC Sports are you seeing him from a young boy to a race competitor.

Tonality made in NBC Sports. What's the best Dale Junior store you can share with all I got. I think probably the very back back to year that was killing that he help heal himself and a lot of other people in 2001, and obviously that terrible day in the Daytona 500 on the last lap that he lost his father came back in July to win the race there that back to me with the young man that had so many things thrown at 80 and somehow someway comes back to the place that had just totally turned his world upside down and was able to go out and Erwin there and then nothing. All healing part of it, but I'm amazed when exceptional people do extraordinary things and back to me with what Dale Junior did not watch the kids grow up with my son Jason around the track and probably got for five years old and watch you go through all of this grow with the proper competitor and now transition into the key. The message that he get the cross and calling a great they appreciate what he does and how he goes about it Mike, you got it.

I another thing that's happening with the Carolina Panthers Dante Jackson apparently is uncertain.

His status for Sunday against the Houston Texans. He was a limited practice participant yesterday with the growing today. He did not practice altogether without injury. Trey Turner also out again. Cam Newton as expected, it does look like on the positive. In though Bruce Irvin's good to be ready to go for game three or make a game four of the regular season. It'll be his Carolina Panthers debut.

It appeared take a short and Gerald McCoy both received that days even though they did last McCoy with a knee and take a short with a shoulder it doesn't seem like as much concern that those guys are to be ready to play Sunday against the Houston Texans. Pretty cool stuff from Jeff Dale Jarrett. They are talking about Michael Jordan and Dale Junior and it should be a really fun weekend. It Charlotte motor in a little over 30 minutes. We you will hear a one-on-one conversation with Clemson head football coach Dabo Sweeney as his team gets set for North Carolina on Saturday. Mac Brownstein, the two active head coaches in the ACC who have national championship ring will be doing battle and we talked about this was before and how short it is.

It's Dabo it's Mack Brown it's Nick Sabin, Jimbo Fisher and Les Miles those of the five coaches active programs that have won national championships, so there's not many of them will be at Dean Stadium on Saturday and plenty of time talk about that between now and then. It's crazy to think it's already Thursday is this week's plum by way too fast. You are listening to W STS Winston-Salem WCL to Greensboro DPC in Burlington WMF or Highpoint signals making up sports on trial
