It's Duke Simebello. It's Watch Radio 92 9-The-Game.

2:00We start off every day and every hour by saying, hey, man, we're hanging out in Hamilton Mill, guys. That's right. Buffalo's Cafe right here in Hamilton Mill. If you are in the area, we'd love to get a chance to see you. Stop by. They got great drink specials going on. And of course, we'll be here until 6 o'clock. Mike, myself and Dave A. are here. And the bar is slowly filling up. We'd love to get a chance to hang out with you guys today. We don't get a chance to come out here that often. No, man. Our second time here in about a year and a half, guys are going to add it at Golden Tea. So obviously, these are very wealthy folks who live up in the Ducula, Hamilton Mill area carl. Men of leisure, playing Golden Tea. And the first thing I saw, like four dudes all lined up, playing as a force them. I went, so what's the stakes? They all look at me like blanks there. I go, what do you guys omnis? I mean, you ain't betting on this. You ain't playing like five bucks a man. But anyway, playing some Golden Tea here in the bar and hanging out. And yeah, I like you to start the show. So many things about that game. They were so frustrated for tech fans. And all the talk about Colorado being soft and small and struggling, they got physical.

3:02And they're new offensive coordinator who's known for airing it out. Just said, look, we can pound the rock on Georgia Tech and they can't stop us up the middle. So let's just keep doing it. And Carl, when you can get three and a half four yards, a tote, that works. And I don't know, at one point, I think it was 15 or 16 carries in a row for the Buffaloes. And it just worked. And very disappointed, they didn't let Alberto Mendoza throw it more. I gotta be honest. Yeah, because he looked good. I mean, throwing the football, he didn't look good. He had over 230 yards passing. I, here's my issue right now with Georgia Tech. And we like Brent Key a lot. But the last time I saw you, your team wasn't ready to play last year. That was Pittsburgh. And the first time I see you this year, you get out physical and bullied in game one with new personnel and new coordinators. And then George Gottsi, who's the offensive coordinator for Georgia Tech, where were the adjustments? What did he try to do to adjust to what they were doing defensively? So, you know, I look at this and I go,

4:03okay, wait a minute. I don't know yet. It's way too early for me to judge whether or not Brent Key made the right decisions in the coaching moves. But Mike, it didn't look like it should have last night, especially knowing what we know about Brent Key and how he likes to play football. The offensive line was abysmal. The defensive line couldn't stop a nose bleed. Right. And that's not what we expected from a Brent Key football team. So, when you put all of that together and you say, well, you know what, Colorado on the time of possession, they had more yards on the ground. They had more total yards. Blah, blah, blah. They kind of dominated this game even though they didn't lead until the end. Yeah, they had a lot of drop passes. It was very sloppy for both teams. The reps were sloppy too. There was some, they had a fumble that the whistle. I mean, it's like the quickest whistle I've seen in college in a while. I know we're used to the NFL where they're really letting guys play and they had done that in a while. And now it seems like the NFL really does kind of let a scrum or a guy get stand up kind of continue. But last night, man, boom, that whistle came down and it was like, that's it. And so that took away a play.

5:04Also, that sort of tuck rule of the forward pass that they ruled in incomplete. That was one that kind of cost like you can't be able to think about the officials when you can't get yards. And Georgia Tech couldn't move the football. They were maybe a little stubborn trying to run that football. And I just felt Colorado give Julian, Julian, Juju Lewis some credit because he put you an absolutely perfect ball on that touchdown. And a great reaching grab from the tight end. And the kicker, this is one of the best tickers if not the best ticker in college game. And now let's call him Aaron Burr Carl, because he assassinated Georgia Tech last night with a miss kick and then the block kick. So that was frustrating. There's a lot to everything that went down. But at the end of the day, man, when it matters most, what do you do? Do you make the play or do you not make the play? And to your point about the touchdown throw, let's hear what that sounded like because, you know, I think it was Chase Daniel that was on the call on television last night. He kept just saying, what a perfect ball. What a perfect ball. Here's what it sounded like. Lewis, answer, touchdown, Colorado.

6:06Lewis. There you have it. Matthew Barry. 14 to 27 for Jude, you know, but they did let him throw it. I mean, like, and I got to be honest with you, Mike, they took chances down the field. They kept missing. They weren't hitting on those plays, but they took chances down the field. And the whole thing there is they will connect as the season goes on. That's going to get a lot better. But the one thing they established last night is, you got to come beat us up. And I don't know how good Colorado's going to be, you know, people are already like, oh, it's a six and 16. And Georgia Tech doesn't scare anybody. Look, the bottom line is, you go on the road, you win these games. It's what we said about Georgia Tech last year. That game last year sparked their run to a really good season. And I don't know if that happens with Colorado, but we said they just don't win on the road since Prime has been there, Mike. So that was a huge road win for the Colorado program. Yeah, and I just think everybody was right and off Colorado. We talked about yesterday with the voice of Colorado football.

7:07We said, yeah, I don't know where this whole thing about us being small started, but it's just an un, I guess Carl, an unflattering camera angle got things started. But it's just, it's a team that played more physical to your point to start the segment. And Brennan Marion is the new OC. And I thought he had a lot of, I thought he was really on it. How many times do we see whether it's college pro, heck your high school kids? When something's working and the coach has to be too smart and get away from it, they just stuck with it. They saw they could get what they wanted against a Georgia Tech defensive line that was supposedly upgraded this year. By bringing in transfers about linebacker and the front. So look, you're not defined by the first game, but there's a lot of teams that come out and look sloppy in week one. Florida State looked terrible and looked very unconvincing in a win against New Mexico State. So I think Georgia Tech will learn and can improve, but now you get a SEC team coming in in Tennessee, who's got better athletes and what Deans got right now in Colorado. You could argue. Yeah, look, it's your first look. The problem is all off season,

8:09you're getting excited about what could be because last season, we came out one game basically ruined our season, we weren't ready, we're better, we've had a full off season, blah, blah, blah. And then you played like that. So here's Coach Key talking about the coaching. A lot of people were pointing to the coaching, Mike and saying there were coaching mistakes in this one that cost him, here's what he said about that. We didn't perform, right? That's on me, that's my job to go out and be able to execute in all three phases. So we have a lot of work to do, but at the same time, I'm not saying much of anything different than I would have said if that ball had gone through the upright. Critical times in the game, you have to be at your best. And when you look at the things that occurred tonight and how many of them took place before the ball was snapped, before the ball was snapped, right? And that's a big thing I preach and I talk about and we work on and we drill and we coach in practice. Well, they didn't carry over in the game. So as the saying goes, either coaching it or allowing it. We're not coaching it. I'm sure as hell I'm not gonna allow it. And no offensive touchdowns last night for Georgia Tech. You get a special team touchdown, electric. And Dana was at the game, we'll hear more from him coming up.

9:11But no offensive touchdowns. That's concerning and you go wait a minute. You know, in this day and age of college football and that's why I say, George Gottsin, you gotta make some adjustments, bro. You gotta make some adjustments offensively to get their offense going. And you said it Mike Mendoza, 237, he was on average. 10 yards a pop when he threw the football. Yeah, I just felt like giving more opportunities. I thought, yes, he's got an arm. You heard Shakespeare's saying to talking about it. The ball comes off, he can spin it. Let him do his thing. I just don't know if that was mandated by Brent Kean. They're gonna be able to be a little conservative. They were gonna try to pressure him as much. Jordan Allen, by the way, eight for one, 13. Yeah, you know, for tech. So we're talking about their still position guys. Very frustrated, but the field goal kickers got to do his job. You're one of the best in the country in your field. Did you think that Brent Kean was being conservative going for a 45 yard field goal? Not trying to press it a little bit more? A little bit, a little bit. I thought they were very concerned. I mean, like once they got down the field, the big pass play and then they kind of went to a shell.

10:13And they telegraphed what their intentions were. Colorado keyed on it. And you basically played into Colorado's game plan. So, and again, a guy coming off the edge, like that never blocks a kick. Takes too long, Carl. I mean, generally a guy coming out, it looked, take it from me, Carl, the long snapper. A guy coming off the edge, he's not supposed to get to the toe of the kicker. No, you know, but he did. Yeah, look, it's timing. If you get the jump, you can get there. If a guy misses his assignment, obviously that happened. But, you know, Georgia Tech also blocked a kick in this game, which was a huge moment because at that point, you felt like, okay, they're about to take control of this game. Colorado had a chance to take control, and they blocked a kick. So, special teams was a big deal last night. And, you know, look, Prime's gonna go back and, and, and, you know. That was big Kevin Roche, all six nine of them. Six nine. He's gonna go back and tell his team, you know, if we don't get better, special teams will not go to win those games and certainly Brinkie's gonna preach that. Right. But, bottom line, it's a disappointment. And if you're telling me that Georgia Tech was supposed to bully Colorado, I would have bet on that. Me too. And that's not what happened. Well, actually, I did.

11:13Now, I did get the underrate, but I didn't get, certainly didn't get the cover. It was six and a half. And look, Dion, you know, and by the way, can we just say something? When I saw my TV, I was like, damn. Dion looks like a guy who's been through the meat grinder. Oh, he can barely walk. I mean, just physically, I mean, he looks thinner. Look, you're like, but for the grace of God, go, I mean, he's had a lot, as we know the last 18 months, a lot on his plate. But, you know, that's a hell of a win for Dion, because you know, Carl and the media, there's so many folks that knives are out, they just can't wait to see Dion fail this year. And he brought in a young, again, assistant coach, the office coordinator we talked about, doing a really nice job, and they believe in Brendan Marion. And it was cool to see him, you know, Judea local kid from Carrollton. Yeah, I mean, he made the plays when it mattered most. He really stepped up. No, that's what matters, man. That play, I think, you know, it will start his college career in a way that maybe it puts him in the spotlight. But we'll see how Colorado does. I am just saying all the Georgia Tech hype very disappointing last night about how that game played out. But was there hype? There was hype. Well, listen, I think coming off of last season,

12:15when you talk about a sold out, the first time they've sold out, right? A week night game like that. And you talk about coming off of last season, the fan base, I'm not talking about around the country. There's a different hike versus being a top five team like Georgia and Georgia Tech building to ascend to greatness. And last year, a lot of people thought that ascension was well on its way. And like I said, last time I saw you guys, you laid an egg. First time I see you this year, this is what I get. So I think yeah, there was a big disappointment for Georgia Tech fans last night. I just saw it life after Haynes King was going to be an adjustment. I mean, there was some degree of hype because just the quarterbacks last name, you know, in Mendoza, but he was doing it. He did well in Bobbup duty for his brother in Indiana. But I just, but I was impressed. I thought if anything, Georgia and the guys, let's need to let him be a bigger part of that offense. I mean, they were just trying to run it and run it and run it. And it just didn't work in Colorado. I mean, they won in the trenches against the team that preaches physicality to your point. All right, man, you can hit us up 404, 7, 2, 6, 10929. That is the number follow Mike ATL Bell 929.

13:15I'm gonna put them up, see dukes. And of course, follow the radio show at Duke's in Bell 929. And this radio station at 929 the game.

16:21We're live at Buffalo's Cafe. Hamilton Meal location, guys. Mike had just had a guy hit me up. His name's Jared. Before we get to be back. What's up brother? Hey, Jared. How you doing brother, Friday brother? Jared says Georgia Tech look bad, but they did not get dominated responding to a tweet that I put out earlier today. I guess you didn't watch the game. First down, first down, four yards, five yards, first down. Did you not see the game? They couldn't stop him. So, I don't know what you're talking about. If that happened on the opposite side today, you'd be talking about Georgia Tech dominating the line of scrimmage against Colorado. That's what happened. Take your rose color glasses off and just own it. It's okay. They lost the first game, but it was obvious last night. They could not get stops when they needed to. 17 plays for 61 yards when they missed the field goal. That was the blocked field goal attempt. Then they go eight plays, 75 yards for the touchdown. Again, beautiful ball from Julian Juju. But I just, I think, you know, if you're a tech fan, you could have stole that game. The best team doesn't always win that game. They're in a position because Alberto Mendosa comes right back

17:23down the field, makes a beautiful throw. And that's why I'm just, I think he showed you the ability. He can make these throws. I just wanted to, like, the run's not working lean into him. And I don't know. That's why I'm saying. I think Goose maybe will learn to trust him more or maybe it came from Brent. They didn't want to put Alberto in a situation where he's going to turn it over. I don't know. Because I thought he was, he looked fine to me. He did. He did. All right. More on the game and more on what's going to happen tonight, as well as the rest of the weekend. But right now we got to talk to B-Mac, Bryant McFadden, CBS Sports NFL analyst, two-time Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers. B-Mac, man, a lot of mixed thoughts and emotions about what the Falcons are trying to get accomplished here with the starting quarterback situation yet to announce it. Are you hearing anything in NFL circles? Honestly, I'm hearing just as much as you guys are. But to your point, maybe this is, you know, a part of the gamemanship or the lack thereof trying to kind of have the Pittsburgh skills on their heels by not naming a starting quarterback.

18:24One would think, if you talk about the guys that have been healthy enough to go through practices, the play and preseason games, you kind of already have a mindset of who the starting quarterback would be, which would be who a tongue of I-Law. So, you know, I think we will have more information, especially when you look at Game Week being a few days away once it's starting next week, as it pertains to who the starting quarterback will be. Does it matter, B? I mean, you figure they're trying to give the organization giving PENIX every opportunity to show them something, because as we know, Tua as a placeholder isn't that compelling. I mean, do you think there's a, I'm not saying there's a, the word comes down from on top, like whether it's Matt Ryan or Ian Cunningham, but you think there's a desire to see as much of, as much of PENIX as possible. Well, the best thing, Mike, when will you get your hands of seeing much of PENIX as possible? Are you telling me only practice opportunities will be enough to warn him becoming the starting quarterback? You know, not having any action and preseason

19:26play? That's the thing that I, you know, kind of is confusing to me, because with him not being healthy or clear, super-discipline in preseason games in the majority, in any of the training camp practices, are you just going to be able to give him that opportunity to week of prep as you get ready for the fist season and say that's enough? Because if that's the case, you're just basically telling all of us the other options were horrible in terms of who you have at the starting quarterback position to be your starters. Be Mac, as we talk about things that are going on around the NFL, things have quieted down because again, teams are starting to get ready, you know, 49ers have already made the trek over to get ready for their game overseas in Australia. But I want to ask you about Joey Porter, Jr., because the Steelers say if the deal's not done before the season, he's going to be playing without one. Isn't that always kind of the policy, not only for them, but for most teams like you have up into a certain amount of time and then once the season starts, then we're not negotiating anymore. Yeah, that has been a fist first deal as policy since day one that I can remember.

20:30You don't have a deal done before the season starts, we're not negotiating with you. You got to get ready for all season. And this is a peculiar situation with JP Jr. because in my opinion, going into his fourth year, you know, being two to three years starter, I feel like his play has warranted an extension. But we're here in mixed things coming from Pittsburgh in terms of the lack of offers coming from the Steelers and basically trying to imply that he needs to play out this final year, which is something I wouldn't agree with because he has balled out. Look at some of the deals they have done with younger players. Players that were drafted in the same draft as Joey Porta Jr. Kiyano Benton got an extension. Yeah, Nick Herbert got an extension. Oh, guys, haven't been consistent starters. Hey, Nick Herbert, going to a really, really good player. He's been a rotational piece at the outside linebacker between why and Alex Heismill. So what's the whole that would you, Joey Porta Jr.? I don't know, but it's a bit confusing because I feel like guys, you know,

21:32he is a high level corner, including he's been the best corner back on the team for the last two years. He's like, where's the love, man? And again, guys play with some attitude. We picked up some dudes on this team. You know, we've got a couple of guys. It was a Dervon Dexter. We got from the Bears. A big defensive tackle. They've got now, I guess, some guys they've upgraded or they felt he was expendable. But contract years, man, it's real, isn't it? Oh, no question. It's real. You know, guys, and I'm not saying players don't put forth their best effort when they're not in a contract year. But when you know it's a contract opportunity, you go above and beyond the task. You try to go above and beyond the task. And for most players, they usually cash in, might only when these opportunities present themselves to get a nice big deal and a nice extension when you in that final year. Brian, to make fat and joining us here on Duke's in Bell. We're live again, Buffalo's Cafe, Hamilton Mill. Come on through, man. We'll be here until six. Did you see what the Prof. Paul Hall of Fame revamped the selection process? After the Belicex snub.

22:33And look, we've talked about this. Did he deserve to get in? Yeah. But at the end of the day, they're trying to make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again because it was unintended bias, right? Unintended bias for Bill Belicex. Do you have a problem with the selection process? Because look, you know, a guy like Aaron Donald has just pushed his time back coming back to the NFL. We got to win another five years once he retires whether it's after this year or the next. And we think we know who these guys are. We watch every Sunday who are going to be in the Hall of Fame, especially the guys that, you know, just pop off your screen. I don't know if the process is the problem or was it the people? I think it's more of the people that's involved in the process. Now, this old Bill Belicex situation. You cannot deny what he's done while coaching in the National Football League as a defensive coordinator or as a head coach, along with the championship accomplishments. But clearly, the issue with him not getting into the Hall of Fame clearly in my opinion,

23:35solely has to be with Spygate and his involvement in Spygate. Because the thing can be said for Robert Krab. If you're telling me, Bill Belicex should be in the Hall of Fame, which I agree with, the same has to be said about Robert Krab. Because he's the one who put all of it together. He is the one that put everything that Patriot Dynasty was built on together. So those two guys, along with Tom Brady, they're all tied to the Hill. The biggest thing that I'm looking to see, you know, with Bill Acheck getting his, Robert Krab, not getting in. Tom Brady. Because if you're telling me Robert Krab was tied to Spygate, Bill Belicex was tied to Spygate, not saying that Tom had a significant involvement in it, but he was the cornerback on those teams that had those allegations tied to them. But I will in the bed this, Tom Brady won't be snubbed. You don't believe you're right. You don't believe you're right. First ballot for sure. No, and that's the thing about Belicex.

24:36I just think, you know, there are consequences for actions. No one debates what you said, Brian, what are you accomplished? But when you treat the media who are the gatekeepers like Krab, and you do what he did, they're going to make you twist in the wind. You also throw in the stuff, which a lot of folks felt, you know, the fleet gate, that's a big, great nothing burger. But the fact that the NFL destroyed the evidence in Spygate, so now we don't even know what they were doing. That's what the Teller's Sign right there. Exactly. That's a red flag. So that's why I think a lot of folks look at that and say, you will pay a penalty for that. You better believe it. Mike, when they burned the evidence, destroyed the evidence, that was a Teller's Sign. I was in the NFL still active at that time. And when we heard that, we already knew the answers. Because clearly, whatever was involved, but was on those tapes, it was so detrimental that it would have punished the shields. Right? It would have really hurt the brand, especially in terms of fans and how they view the game. So the best thing they could do without it ever getting out was to destroy it.

25:36That's the best way to do it. So one thing I would say for the community in the snub of Bill Belichick, tell us why. Let us know what was the mindset, what was the logic, and him not being able to end. Because for us as fans, we feel like he is a deserve of being a first ballot, being in the Hall of Fame. But just don't say he ain't getting in and not tell us why. Let us know what was the reason. It's a great point. I mean, transparency is a big part of this. We're talking with B. Mac, Brian, Nick Faden. Here on Duke's in Bill, what about what's going on in college right now? Mike and I have yet to dive into this and this ruling that came down. B, you played big time college football at Florida State. Do you think Lane Kiffin should roster Dequan right and Xavier Harris and play these guys? Because I keep thinking if he does, he's risking losing the season. Regardless of what happens with the results, I just feel like the backlash of what's going to play out. But what is the deal here? Like how do you feel as a former player and knowing that these guys didn't make these NFL rosters,

26:37but yet they're coming back to college? As a former player and as a fan of the game, I don't like it. I don't like you having an opportunity to go to the league. And if it don't work out, I go back to college. I don't like that. Right now, I'll say this as it pertains to Lane Kiffin. Is he wrong for trying to put together the best roster? No. He can put together? No. Is he wrong or did he break any rules and doing these things? No. Not now as of the latest court ruling, but that will be subject to another board. There you have it. There you have it. As of now, he hasn't broken any rules because of this, the latest hearing, the latest news, it made him available to do so. Now, if I was a head coach, would I have done it? No. There are a lot of head coaches that spoke out against it. But for Lane Kiffin, Lane is going to be Lane. So I think for everyone that's giving Lane backlash, for everyone that's giving these players

27:39backlash, no, they don't deserve it because they didn't do anything wrong. The people who you should give backlash to is the NCAA because of the dysfunctional decision they have done. I'm in time again because like I said, Lane hasn't broken any rules. He hasn't tried to break any rules. It wasn't like he was the voice for them, given this fifth year, this fifth year, a year to these kids. He wasn't a voice for that, but when it happened, oh, now I've got an opportunity to go back and get some of these guys that I know can help my team compete for a championship. So the backlash will solely be targeted and directed to anyone involved in the NCAA for these rules that just doesn't make any sense. I just think that Lane's a guy, we are going to argue in debate in the same day. It's just, you know, everything is like Erkel. Oh, did I do that? You know, he's just like a victim of circumstance, you know. He's always like this. I don't know. I'm just caught up in this. I don't know. But the thing about Lane guys, what we have to realize about him, he can care less about what people think of him.

28:42Quite clearly. Quite clearly. And that's how he beat by the sign of his own drum. But in this situation, like I said, if I was a hit coach, would I have done it? No, I would not. I would not entertain it. But he hasn't broken any rules. He didn't do anything wrong. He hasn't been in any rules. This is all solely because of the NCAA and their lack of structure. Yeah. We'll dive deeper into this as we move along. Be where you, we corner. You on the road? Are you watching these games? What's your situation next week? I'll be in the studio watching the Pittsburgh Steelers kick the fog in the team. Oh, please. Here we go. Here you go. You know what? There's still a giant boot and the Steelers butt from the Houston Texans. That's still got a sting for back in January. I don't know if we got that kind of shoe, but we're not trying. One thing I'll say, I'll be in the studio week one. But one thing we all know about the first month of the season in the NFL. It's the month of unknown. You know, you don't know exactly what you're going to see. You don't know exactly what the offense defense is going to look like.

29:43So everything's intriguing. I tell you guys, that B. John Robinson, man, he provides the element of fear. We got to contain him because if we do not, I can kill this with a quarterback, he gives it for Atlanta. They want to find ways to go from school point. Yeah, it's a great point. Cannot wait, man. Have a great Labor Day with the fam and we will talk to you next week. We'll be actually talking about real NFL football next week when we talk to you. Be appreciate you, bro. Yes, sir. That's Brian to make fat and CBS NFL analyst two times Super Bowl champion. All right, we're live in Hamilton, Milge guys. We're going to come back. We're going to talk about the brave because they got a big four game series that starts tonight against the Phillies. This is it. Made it for Philly. You got to chance to knock Philly out or make Philly the first place team. I mean, this is interesting. Seven games, you know, with the Phillies. I do think we got the pitching. I think it's going to be electric and hopefully they bring home the bacon. All right. We'll hear what Walt Wies has to say about going into that hostile environment and it will be. Stay there. It's Duke's and Bill.

Congratulations to Coach Jerry Mack and Kinesol State. How long is the West Georgia coach out? Self-imposed J.D.6 games I'm hearing?

33:52That's what the fans were saying at the bar last night at Twin Pigs. There was a lot of West Georgia fans, wolves that came over and watched the owls beat the wolf. 40- That owls just took a giant turd drop right on the wolf. 47-0 man and as I tune into that game I think they were up. You know at that point it's 28-0 but congrats to Kinesol State for handling business. We talked a little bit about the Georgia Tech and we will continue that conversation guys. We're live and Hamilton Mill today. Buffalo's Cafe and again they got great specials. Happy hour Monday through Friday, three until six. They got a bunch of cocktails and different drinks that you can pick up and certainly enjoy. So come on through man we'd love to see you. Mike, couple of college stories and I just you know outside of the games and we'll talk plenty about the games coming up not only tonight but the rest of the weekend. The Michael and Barty resigning story as the GM of North Carolina. And look it's funny because that story drops right as we're getting ready to end the show yesterday and then obviously the ruling comes down from Louisiana during the game last night. Which just kind of overshadowed everything else because everybody's so focused on how this may affect.

34:56And again we're focused on football guys. Understand there are other student athletes, other professional athletes who are attempting to come back and play as well. It's not just football. So what that said because this additional you know 2022 ruling that allowed them to have another year. But it kind of overshadowed this Michael and Barty situation. And I just want to North Carolina has felt like it's been a mess since Bella check took the job. Yeah, I was really pulling for a TCU but then we found that they had their own soap opera somebody big because he beat the guy to death in their own locker room and the guy survived. No, so with the case of North Carolina. Now the allegations are out that there was an HR beef so did Lombardi say hey honey get over here with my coffee. You know I something to a female staffer or worse. Again because no one knows the details but a lot of websites are running with a lot of stuff about alleged drug abuse and allegations and Steve Bella check may have furnished a student with drugs. Now are we talking weed are we talking performance and dancing drugs are we talking other stuff. Either way, Bella checks son kind of looks like Tommy boy meets Frado from the godfather and a lot of folks felt it was a reach to make him the DC in the first place.

36:03He's out he's he's never coming back it seems like to Carolina and a lot of folks feel Bella check whatever this thing does will be this year and done. Yeah, I feel that way as well. But it's it's just a big deal again because Michael and Barty was hand picked by Bella check to come in there and run all the other stuff right. And I they were going to run it like a pro foot portal right exactly all the money stuff. Wow big shout out to John Abraham before we talk about the braves guys John Abraham is going into the ring of honor for the Falcons and Mike this is overdue Bill Freilig. I mean like to me this is overdue but I'm glad they're being recognized. So you know John has been great to us over the years he's come on the show numerous times we see him out at Falcon events and Mike has said this if you go look at his numbers. They are very comparative to Hall of Fame type guys when you talk about the overall sack numbers there's Hall of Famers that are in behind John Abraham there's a couple that are ahead of him but he had the numbers and I know that if we win that Super Bowl if we're able to go to that

37:05and raise the profile remember he was on the jets and got traded to the Falcons and we made the most of it here in Atlanta. I love the guys game the only proper John Abraham he never had anything really serviceable on the other side. He was constantly double teamed I'm used to joke around like I think they're not called holding on John Abraham because he was such an amazing athlete. Remember Dave Abie like parallel to the ground. He was so amazing it's so quick and athletic and then of course for those who remember 2012 Mike Smith has that great conundrum do I rest or play my starters in a game that doesn't matter plays Abraham jacks up I believe it was his ankle and wasn't really the same wasn't as effective Carl and playoffs including that NFC championship game lost the 49ers but we're big fans of the predator. I didn't get to see Bill Frey like play here in Atlanta but a four time pro baller a guy went on to do television passed away unfortunately a couple years back but brilliant guy wrote a bunch of books and again his legacy now secure as a falcon in the ring of honor congratulations to those guys that's going to happen week 16 by the way against the box. So that's when that's actually going to take place Mike big series we've talked about it Chris sale tonight Christopher Sanchez Sanchez has been brilliant guys by the way I mean as much as we talk about sale this guy's been money 16 and four on the season.

38:15Under three ERA at 2.5 to here's what wise talking about going to Philly. That was great man I love it going into hostile environments and testing yourself that's what sport is all about get your juices from. Yeah man I mean it's going to be a hostile environment because Philly fans suck right that's just what it is and they know how important this series is and Mike I'm sure there'll be I'm sure there'll be saying and anything they possibly can't to get into the heads of our guys and you know they need more of the fan base to step up then they ever have as far as the seasons concerned remember when we started the season at one point the Brazler 10 in front of this team yeah they were about as bad as start as we had a year ago when we started 0 and 7 remember on the west coast Philly looked that bad so much so that they far was it Rob Thompson to bring in Don Mattingley right as the manager and we talked about it this week with Tony Quinn Jr. And is he still the same joyless son of a gun that he seemed to be with the Marlins and the Dodgers maybe he's changes too. Yeah but they've got the athletes they got tons of power you know what you know Schwarber's capable of certainly they've got a lineup that can give this team

39:19trouble. I want to clarify real quick they're going to do two separate dates they just pointed out to me both will not be inducted go back to the Falcons John Abraham and Freylich week 16 for Freylich John Abraham week October 11 against the Ravens so two separate dates for both of those guys to go into the ring of honor. Yeah man I as far as the Brazler Mike in look I'd love to tell you we're going to handle business we'll sweep we're going to talk to Grant later in the show I just like the fact that all of a sudden now we're getting production from Kim. Right. Right and it's funny you guys I said the other day some folks I always joke around with Carl about Twitter and you know you don't know if people get the joke or they can read between the lines and I said a grand grand comment instead of where Murphy's been and how he's been on a chair and I said he's he's worth waiting for and this guy goes will you hate him I go yeah that's kind of what I'm inferring that he's as it been good he was worth nevermind he's worth waiting for we just want to see him do his job you know he's look by by any metric of baseball stats he is under performance since he was signed here and William Contreras who in the three way deal wound up in Milwaukee has been a better player yes and Sean Murphy is a great

40:25defensive shortstop I mean a great defensive catcher okay he can make that road a shortstop for second base so what guys don't run as much no but either way I'm just happy he's hitting and if Kim continues to contribute Carl now the bottom of the line it becomes a plus and that's what we need I mean you know I don't know how these playoffs are going to play out but you want to have options and you want to have you can go to off the bench and and again Kim's never there's no way we can justify his twenty million dollar salary this year you just can't okay what's the difference is in him and pro far he's playing like ten more games that's right that's exactly right right but you know what you can say is hey we got in the playoffs and maybe along the way he has those moments like he had a couple weeks ago last week or whatever when he came up with the big hit 4047 2609 29 more on the Braves coming up by the way it's sale marketing Perez Tyler Malley who's been great and then Bryce Elder this is a four game series which takes us into Monday all right so if you're wondering yeah there'll be baseball on Monday Monday afternoon and then we got more college football Mike and I are going to break down some college football coming up we'll also talk more about the NFL as we get ready for the start of the season we didn't talk about it

41:31yesterday but Jaylen hurts this interview vanity fair right I believe it is talking about his relationship with with AJ Brown and said they grew apart but Mike you know what no blank Sherlock yeah but he didn't he didn't go in like I thought people thought he would I don't think that's his style I don't either I think he's a pros pro man I really do when every time I watch Jaylen hurts he is very thoughtful about everything he does he doesn't rush to do it he doesn't speak out of turn he just I'll tell you what's going on but I'm going to make sure that I say this correctly and I thought he handled it perfectly but we'll we'll get into that coming up and then also some contract stuff because there are a bunch of guys who are looking for new deals including CJ Stroud he may not get an extension to start the season if that happens Mike he may ball out his his number may go way up if the Texans and by the way I'm not saying this because you may be paying attention to this but the Texans are a sleeper for the Super Bowl guys they got the I think the best defense if that offense can get going they may be the team representing the the AFC and I'm not saying that just to say it I think they're a really good club but we'll see how that goes but CJ Stroud is looking for a deal

42:38we got a lot of NFL news to get to and we haven't even mentioned today believe it or not the first hour what's going on with the Falcons now they didn't practice today okay but it doesn't mean as Mike said to me today I got here and he goes you think I'm going to do a news drop over the weekend this is what I said a day is like Mike you're under the show promo now for those take it grow take it behind the curtain it's a hey man coming up my we're back to work Tuesday right this right I'll be hung over from Tallahassee Carl be carrying the show and and also will we know I was going to say and we'll know with the the fact maybe they maybe they drop it on Sunday it's possible maybe there's some news that too will be starting it's possible you know and they do that to draw the least amount of attention I don't know I do know this and I was talking to good friend of ours is a local cameraman what if I'm hung over on Tuesday well then we're screwed okay then well then day day is going to have to carry on as a good friend of mine over here right here man and you and I both work with the spend and will remain nameless because he's won it by the FBI but no we were talking about what's the attitude like Falcons and I said it's about the same you know it's it's not just the Falcons I don't want this because they hear everything it's this mindset of we don't share information

43:42there is this bunker mentality that was I mean other coaches have done it you know probably Vince Lombardi did it but Bellet checks more famous for it but that's kind of where it is so we do we're left guessing we don't get any of you know sometimes you know I give credit to Dan Reeves always just told you what was going on and it's like oh no channel right ready we're gonna go to Rousey on it's like done there you have it now we're not guessing he's playing quarterback with Chandler nursing and injury yeah my thing with this is you know I've heard people say to me well Duke's they don't want the Steelers to know are you serious you telling me the Steelers don't know what to do can do right are you telling me the Steelers don't know what Michael Pinnix has been in 12 games this is the NFL guys they've got every piece of tape you could ever imagine okay this mind game of which is we're gonna keep it a secret until the day before the game is ridiculous so my whole thing is real surprise in the last minute they'll never see it you know this is this is not like some kids you've never seen in a small town in Georgia who gets off the bus in place on a Friday night and you go hey who's number 16 this is the National Football League this whole idea of

44:48keeping it in house because of that I don't buy that whatsoever I believe I believe they're keeping it because they still don't know and that's what people don't want to admit that's the thing as I said as Brian McFenix said to you think he didn't really take the bay down I think your organization is setting everything up to give Michael Panics Jr. every single opportunity to win this job and then we get to the question again this is purely guesswork don't know just the things we heard from Michael Panics over the course of the camp do they go to Michael next when you're a bite how you feel you're ready kid man and then at least few more weeks tomorrow I hope that's not the case because it again it doesn't define him I'm not making this into a federal case but we heard Michael Panics Jr. last week say playing that precinct it only had 311 11's man it's like okay okay not exactly what were you hearing not exactly the level of enthusiasm I was expecting but that's this style maybe it really is that conversation you have with Cam Newton I'm I'm not going to put my body on the line until I'm ready what's the old line we will serve no wine before it's time

45:49or does it you know gallo Panics will serve no time until he's I guess on the I don't know try to make a a lot of time out of it you get the point the longer he waits though the more we doubt that's the issue the longer he waits the more you doubt as a fan he bit and by the way even if he needs six more weeks and he may not he better come out on fire and they like I said they may have already known this all along they may have known it was not going to be Michael Panics Jr. until weeks two or three all right we're coming back guys he's trying to move on at least that's what he's saying he actually spoke about it which is shocking we'll tell you more about that coming up in our fourth and one segment girl let's get real some pads are just diapers with a good PR team but not the new codex bio care that's because codex bio care helps defend against odor and irritants and it's the first and only pad with this pH proactive system that helps optimize the pads pH just think of it as self
