The Drive with Josh Graham - Brant Snedeker - 07/9/19

The drive is now three weeks away from Wyndham championship week around here today was media day for the tournament. So I went to such real country club within last year's transference that occur will be with us on Michelle at some point.

And yes, if you're wondering my Harrisville purple after the US World Cup when on Sunday. However, I think I need a ruling here. Is it cheating that I put on a When I was at said field because I felt like that wasn't the best setting to have light purple hair, especially while interacting with strangers is that cheating or am I still following the rules, but having to wear a cap to shield the purple hair in such technically you didn't really specify that you had to be out in public with here that's purple you just said you would guide her purple so I said my hair would be purple for a week so you could toboggan or it meant that's that's true. So I guess I did follow the regulations. If you feel like I did it. I'm to be at the Winston-Salem – baseball game later tonight. I don't plan to be wearing the So feel free to drop by and say hello radios, a funny thing we once did the show where people called in had no idea what I looked like and just guest what I looked like based on how my voice sounded, you will have to do much guessing. I'll be the guy probably behind home plate with purple hair and pretty sure the bill despite you any place in the park they can look out, see that flash with the Wyndham on the horizon. Though I started examining our local sports calendar and the way things lie. This year the next eight months that we are about to approach might be as good as sports has ever been in the triad. Think about the Wyndham championship has been revamped this year is the introduction of the Wyndham report Wyndham rewards top 10 which is why the tournaments getting bumped out for weeks by two weeks them where it usually is in August and when this was announced it was massive news. The tournament director Mark Grasso who was a guest on the show said. Phil Mickelson shot him a text.

Everybody's going to come to this tournament. Now if you don't know what the Wyndham rewards top 10 is it's now they now do a ranking in the regular season in the top 10 get a cut of a $10 million pot so millions of dollars will be hanging in the balance, which is pretty good incentive to play at a golf course that already has rich history and tradition, dating back to Sam Sneed in the 30s, legendary golfers were played there so I feel like the tournament is only going to get better and that starts in three weeks.

This is become the crown jewel of the triad.

It used to be. The ACC basketball tournament but when the ACC started leaving to go to Brooklyn and Washington DC having them be regular stops for the tournament and the ACC tournament only coming here once every four years that change things. The ACC tournament doesn't really feel like ours anymore.

We don't really feel like tournament town anymore, since it's once every four years we get the ACC basketball tournament. Another thing that's big on the sports calendar Wake Forest has a once in a generation, like schedule this year. Specifically, the home schedule. Wake Forest is the ACCs triad school or the triads ACC school however you want to put it for the first time since 1921. Wake Forest is going to be hosting Duke, North Carolina, and NC State.

All three of them will be coming to BB&T Field. So in addition to the Wyndham being revamped Wake Forest will be hosting all three of the ACC teams right here in the triad and wakes God three straight bowl wins for Dave Clawson something that's never happened for the deeds before you got Jamie Newman and Sam Hartman coming back and all ACC left tackle who was injured in the opener last year and Justin Ron Kobe Davis in the secondary Justin Stern that Wake Forest.

This is a bolting and you got UNC and NC State and Duke coming at to BB&T Field. Lastly, speaking of that ACC tournament the ACC tournament is going to be returning to Greensboro next March and not just the ACC tournament. The NCAA tournament first and second round games will be played in Greensboro to so when you roll all of that together these three elements are revamped Wyndham championship which is our new crown jewel as a sports market. The greens Greensboro Winston-Salem high points for Piedmont Triad that our new sports crown jewel Wake Forest hosting NC state Duke and North Carolina plus the ACC tournament coming back tournament town coming back, at least for a month, followed by the NCAA tournament to I can't think of a better eight-month stretch.

You can have as a sports fan around here than what I just brought to you is coming ahead and it's coming quickly with ACC football kickoff next week in Charlotte two weeks after that the Wyndham championship in Greensboro and once football season ends be in the heart of basketball season, and certainly looking forward to Greensboro hosting the ACC tournament again and was watching NCAA tournament basketball as well. Your thoughts are welcome on the subject on Twitter at sports up triad you can call it 336-777-1600.

That's our phone number John folky, the play-by-play voice of the Charlotte Hornets will be with us is been a lot of emotion today. The law offices of Timothy D.

Wellborn Studios, the Panthers, the last four or five weeks have been dropping videos highlighting and profiling their new Hall of honor inductees there expanding get from Sam Mills to Jake the loan Wesley walls Jordan Gross and the player they profiled earlier today that has us feeling pretty emotional right now making things pretty dusty around here. Steve Smith, however, I'd argue just give me the first bit of this Hall of honor video will display the sound for you. It's emotional the exchange are about the here between Panthers owner David Tepper and Steve Smith Tepper telling Smitty that he's been inducted into the Hall of honor. His response to that is emotional in its own right, but I'd argue the music that's playing in the background here would make anything sound nostalgic and emotional. So listen, you probably are the best player is where Sam is first so just like Samuel so in the home on you yet you forever grandkids come here there's very few things in life where I wanted zero estate Church of Christ Chile don't go. I'm not to lie to you started getting goosebumps a few goosebumps because Steve Smith and Rod Brind'Amour.

They were probably my two favorite athletes maybe ever, Rod Brind'Amour, bringing North Carolina the first and only Stanley Cup. Now is the head coach of the hurricanes and Smitty. Just everything about him is personality how exciting he was the first time he touched the football in the NFL. He took it to the house against Minnesota on a punt return kick apartment from one of the it was amazing.

He was amazing. The author some of the most important place ever so to hear Steve Smith talking about getting emotional a guy that very rarely does so in addition to the soft piano that you expect on ESPN College Game Day feature that common oldies making you cry over it got me and I got goosebumps right now just I'm so happy that one of the first things on the list of things to do for David Tepper when he took over the franchise was to make amends with potentially one of the best panthers of all time and see that he is the best. I agree with Steve Sandoz number one to me statements number two must think.

I think it states that I get the emotional tied to Sam Mills and all that but had many of his best years with the same which is called what it is that was yes but in terms of what he meant to the franchise and movement towards the I get I get it. I just disagree. I think Steve Smith is the quintessential Carolina Panthers. I think it's him I put Steve Smith over Julius peppers and I put Sam Mills over Julius peppers to so we can parse the differences here, but Steve Smith belongs in this Hall of honor. I'm glad it happened so quickly, were David Tepper Amick men sings in such a way that before even last season ended, Steve Smith is at the 50 yard line Monday Night Football game against the saints as the honorary captain for Carolina that's something that nobody would've foreseen happening say even two years ago when Jerry Richardson and Dave Gettleman were still in control, that that's where I was going in terms of this myth. The lives of Charlie never moved away like his family. So here is kids are here. His wife is here, he still ingrained in the fabric of Charlotte and said had that riff still bear David Tepper to recognize that the patch set up almost immediately from them walking through the door, along with the other things he's done in the first year being owner like ACCPAC. There's nothing I can sit here and say about David Tepper. So far it's negative that I can think of in terms of his relationship with the Charlotte community. The Panther fan base as a whole. It is interesting you have two new owners taking control here in the state of North Carolina. Tom done them with the hurricanes and Dave Tepper with the Panthers and Tom done than is the owner that has created the most. Maybe distrust among some hurricanes, fans, or at least has ruffled the most feathers. That's probably the best way to put it but this team went to the Eastern conference finals in the Stanley Cup in his first year. While David Tepper in it. In terms of PR has been doing everything the right way. Nothing to criticize him about yet. His team didn't make the postseason. It's it's just interesting how these two are perceived, but winning will cure all and David Tepper is certainly good to be judged by that eventually if not this fall will see how that transpired. The drivers brought you in part by her friends at pie guys pizza and more. If you haven't already tried to try our new secret menu item. It is the Philly cheese steak pizza. It's not on the menu if they go up and tell them hey listen to the sports up and I hear this Philly cheese steak pizza is pretty good and you can try it that way or you can have the grand slam pizza with the Buffalo chicken base or buffalo sauce base with chicken and bacon on top. We have a room pizza. We have a secret menu item 2. It's only a pie guys pizza and more find them off of Louisville Clemmons Rd. in Clemens and pay them a visit visit inducted in the lookout up next home run Derby dunk contest is the drive everybody this is a sport 609 20. Now back to drive with Josh Graham while the major league baseball home run Derby is exciting to think you all start to cross. Maybe having the place of work is a major league baseball.

Baseball running the faces, maybe even doing so simultaneously in a bracket or Matt started thinking about the fastest players in the store and we defaulted on the court in which probably is an outdated answer about five years ago, but Ryan suites and Billy Hamilton from the Royals is the fastest player in the league. That's a very good answer InterNIC. Who else would you nominate I also nominate Byron Broxton and Mike Trout that the trial is like a linebacker is very maybe movie bats.

That's the thing on MOV per second. Those guys are a night so continue to take nominees on this on her at trial would now be enjoined in Las Vegas by the voice of the Charlotte Hornets. John spoke.

He was kind enough to spend some time here. John, I mean every time I talk to you. I ask if you're settled then but now you're in Las Vegas.

Have you even found a home yet.

Have you lived in this home.

Yet in Charlotte I was there in our apartment bottom on air about her and the only furniture I had were great folding camping and then we packed up everything in Minneapolis about a week ago got it all to the movers.

My wife and I drove back down there where there together couple days and I could not figure and finally all our stuff arrived over the weekend, though, like the dig it out and by the time I get home. I feel like we are finally going to be furniture and you know I think were both looking forward to it on the couch and drink out of real coffee mug. Everything will get married in a prop that will be good follows the new radio voice of the Charlotte Hornets John Smokey on Twitter at JW funky FOC KE on Twitter walking through what last Friday night was like as the Hornets were playing right around the time an earthquake hit, then the Kawai Leonard news drops your time. About 1130 locally.

The article they get wrapped up and we went out in front of pavilion.com and wrap that up, got work in her hotel. There were no maybe you order laughter. About half of order left the mix elegant game and go.

I headed back in and walk across the hallway. Come back to try Some of that game and when I was walking into the arena.

Everybody was screaming out weird like I thought the bill and left walk into the arena ball and Mike will this work out though I can do whatever I want… I looked out on the floor and I thought about it, you when you can check it in there like earthquake you got me beyond. I didn't you'll be earthquake and all the text somebody to figure that out well yeah great and you walk. I got a regular old timeout like that you don't want your guide you there that are though it was really in the back hallway waiting to figure out whether they would continue playing the game, you know that I don't ever play after that though there are a lot of members of the back hallway waiting to figure out whether their play at all the while, you know to be on.

I will earthquake. When we got back to the hotel room wrapping up on the computer not like there… Maybe there is a aftershock or something like that. But the initial burst. I did not noted that I got you a lot of people that were down on the floor or in the band that hit helmet back in that it was going to crave you and long. How would you describe the next day when people are meeting having breakfast having lunch over the news that Kawai Leonard is a clever yellowed wild, and I think you know the reaction here was probably the reaction that a lot of people had no get out of the coffee shop no matter where they were. Everybody was guys that how it happened and I think all George thing really did a lot of people like bride because I would never really reported it was never really got it and obviously PG had a couple years left on a contract Rupert about it though. Everybody was pretty shocked about how that transpired.

How quickly it transpired and you know immediately began to break down what the Western Conference landscape look like and what the rivalry to be like Bill. There's a lot of conversation around it that John funky new radio voice of the Hornets with the seer on the drive. Mitch Kupchak.

He was talking to reporters in Vegas and he said he's not using the R word rebuilding. But he also said at the same time that high-priced veterans aren't guaranteed playing time. Those two ideas conflict each other at all or contradict itself go into the body.

You're looking at the focus on player development would resolve the final lap you roll the ball out there, give everybody an opportunity to earn their time that you have to look at it right now heading in the neck and you know looking at the future the franchise. You gotta develop some of the guys that you have felt. I think all of that will be determined.

You get closer to training camp and get into the now everything everything shakes out until you think we've been encouraged by some of the thing. Kimberly got a mild bird that he had a great game on Sunday against San Antonio octagon to grandma going bacon were really good in that opening game against gold 25 per bacon. 21 for the Dante Graham and all three of those guys have been given something to work on the coaching that you know for mild Claymore that powerful God for Duane it was great getting to the basket winemaking for other than Aponte want to see how he can play off the ball a little bit. I've been fun to watch those guys challenges on you implement them in life. Ask your doctor.

You know that in the practice court like they were doing and little training camp leading up to heading out here to beg slam magazine put out a tweet over the weekend saying fun fact about Miles bridges he's going to jump on your favorite player this season and Lebron James quote we did that and said yes little bro will I just hope your favorite player ain't me and Miles bridges responded with, we gonna test that this year brother, what, when you based on who you talk to in the league has Miles bridges already earned respect among the league's elite. You go in the league one year and I think a lot of lot out here, Josh. I was now you sound just fine.

John your God to come out to the hotel and have been trying to find a quiet thought that he sends his motorcycle world roared by. I apologize or what, but I did get inside by my hotel room and really in the lobby of the hotel as well. I think that bile understand the work ethic that God would and I think the future is bright for mild.

I really love you mind making what he already responsibility for that. You didn't even play to a level that he felt would would earn him one of those even a lot of the guys concurrent time to time in Charlotte working out in the weight room holding each other accountable working on their game development with the coaching staff. I think players around the league around the lake. The you that my youth at work ethic and think that your bright future on a mild one this off-season.

John taught us about what store free agents value and how teams should be building moving forward. Considering who has landed the free agents this summer, namely the Clippers and the Nats.

I think it's funny because I think something like they were building the right thing, but you know then the players decided that they wanted other thing though.

I feel like right now don't really know exactly what players want and you know the players are sort dictating where they want to go and who they want to play with.

I think it's been fascinating to watch.

You don't and certainly not the Clippers like they were able to open up so that they could bring in some of the multiple free-agent Kevin Durant and Kai regarding their in Brooklyn and that of course all George and Kawai Leonard with the LA Clippers and so obviously financial flexibility plays a big role in it.

You got the ability to bring in 123 of the big name free-agent guy think that that's played a big role in where some of the guys running up landing but I think it's fascinating.

You go back to that Olympic team a couple years ago where a lot of these guys played together for the first time in or on friendship. You're starting to guys reconnecting different throughout the NDA and fill it really been interesting to watch how things have balked over the last couple of years and how you're seeing the players end up together in take advantage of going together and try to compete for a championship together. John enjoy the rest of summer looking for work in us and yeah, absolutely. And again I apologize for knowing you not to tell us that your racing motorcycles while doing interviews rest by John. Personally, I think a more impressed than I am upset that a helicopter don't miss Michael Jordan's helicopter don't radio voice of the Charlotte Hornets trying to get on a motorcycle to catch a helicopter that's being flown by Michael Jordan so that he can get to the next game I mean that's big time right there on twitter at JW folky FOC KE.

Major league baseball should be in a much better place than where it currently resides on the drive. I wish I am 620 morons whether sports triad and is what we talked about the Beatles and are in turn could only come up with twist and shout Strawberry Fields forever: Eileen Beatles. The biggest criticism we got on social media become holy. On Josh's same Japanese boy band South Korea. My apologies. I swear this is good in my career.

One not being able to differentiate for being at work is flippant for irresponsible and guessing at some points, somebody tells you something in passing, and you just assume it's true, it's not responsible, and I apologize for that. I have purple hair today because I lost a bet. Really it was just a declaration that the US national team if they win another world, I'd have my hair purple like Megan Bertino for a week and were in the second day of that kinda look like a South Korean boy band member purple hair like if you just give me a leather jacket. I'm set for being honest leather jacket with tassels pocket of glitter.

That's right, throw out where you are, no matter what tight pants, glittery shoes is called tight jeans jeans and e-zines got to the skinny jingles of the Sadler which I never understood the Panthers had us feeling all nostalgic today. They had another video series addition the hall profiling. There Hall of honor inductees for this year to expand to get from just Sam Mills to Wesley walls take the loan Jordan Gross and now Steve Smith Steve Smith and his video got us all feeling emotional with the help of some very light piano laying in the background.

This is from that video. The Panthers put out earlier today so listen, you probably are the best player second best place as the first. So just like Samuel so in the home on you yet you know you will be in five forever your grandkids come here things in life where I wanted zero Sadock migraines use a common estate to trace a place that I actually don't know so that that was the voice of David Tepper telling Steve Smith, he'd be in the Hall of honor. Speaking of David Tepper, a headline that just came down from Steve Reed of the AP David Tepper and team president Tom Glick will travel to New York next week and meet with major league soccer officials in an effort to convince them to bring an expansion team to Charlotte right around the same time. Sean Raleigh is completing a project to get a massive stadium a multibillion-dollar project and they are trying to lobby or major league soccer to come to Raleigh but keeping it was Steve Smith. What is your favorite Steve Smith memory. You can tweak the show at sports of dryad 336-777-1600 personally.

The first game I ever went to was also the first game that the voice of the Panthers. Now Mick Nixon was calling in that position. It was against the New Orleans Saints. It was in September. It was the home opener in 2005 Anstey Smith was coming off an ACL injury. He missed the entire year following the Super Bowl appearance and he call a button hook broke a tackle and then took it to the house and I was the first NFL game I ever went to.

So that sticks out to me is one of my favorite athletes of all time. Even as I watch emotionally detached now.

Not really much of a Panthers fan anymore.

I find it much easier to do a job covering the team being emotionally detached from it.

But back then I was all it. Here's how I probably rank him most memorable Steve Smith moments number three I probably say it is the Fred Smoot touchdown. Remember the Fred Smoot gave CP to find the details on this test, he scored a touchdown against Minnesota on Fred Smoot. The week that he got busted on a party boat and he gets down on his rump and starts rowing the boat as a touchdown celebration, but I what specific details because so much time past this was circa 2006 or 2000 what sets number three no the 2003 playoffs Steve Smith what is called crazy clown.

The play runs down the middle of the field catches a post pattern.

The first player double overtime in the Panthers win to go to the NFC championship game where they beat the Philadelphia Eagles to play the patriots and number one it's hard to pick just one play, but the 2005 NFC divisional playoff game against the Bears. It is single-handedly the most dominant wide receivers been in the playoff game I ever seen like a lot a lot of time to talk about how wide receivers aren't that valuable.

In that game. Steve Smith almost single-handedly gave the Panthers that went it's it's the biggest contribution I've ever seen from a wide receiver in a game and they somehow wanted soldier Field with no other help other wide receivers were hurt. We were throwing Carrie Colburn out there catching passes. Sean Foster was her Stephen Davis was her. It was Nick goings at running back but Steve Smith found a way to win it. So that's number one for me is over the details and Fred Smoot so present.

You are right, it was a 2005. In that crazy seasons. The Smith and 2005 he was quoted on Mike and Mike on ESPN saying quote a guy take pride in. I destroyed his career as Fred Smoot. He was never the same after after coming in Bank of America Stadium. Things just went downhill from for him. From there, what is the Fred Smoot story though what what happened what happened with the party boat because so much times past, I've forgotten the details.

What will you look that up. That's a perfect segue into what Smitty was off the field. I'm not talking about punching teammates Ken Lucas and whoever else.

In practice, but the team to lead clip. We can't play this enough like we get nostalgic talking about Steve Smith but this to keep the leaves sound after the Monday night game against the patriots.

It's just beautiful sound and it will be forevermore. It will be. Remember forevermore among Panthers fans as some of the best sound we can play over the last 25 years all you want to leave on the field. Everyone remembers the son, everybody remembers that but I almost enjoyed the first part of this answer. A lot more than even the ice up all the important points on your what what it baby corn, corn, dance, what wears popcorn.

Is that better than the quiet laughter is good right here is a better than this wise is like to live forever, but this is a much more jovial from Smith.

He he is satisfied. He's postcoital. He just got he just got done beating a team to lead to a point where he could go on anymore and they beat the patriots of Monday Night Football and this lath I think this sums it all up like a kid like mocking someone a lunch when I found like a guy in college who just lost his virginity calling his friend believe what just happened. I have some info, a man died, forgotten that that happened. This is crazy. So in October 2005, an electric sex party occurred on Lake Minnetonka where Prince used it to wash things away from Baskin the waters of 17 if you know how dirty that water was proud of. Pick someplace else. 17 team members of the Viking football team including Dante Culpepper Fred Smoot Pat Williams Brian McKinney Nate Burleson Jimmy Wiggins got Mo Williams rented to house to average 2000 football players they were rented to houseboats and in some but not all the players perform sexual acts in front of the crew members and then prostitutes Malan and Florida were flown into the party.

In order to perform said sex acts released 90 people and to boat boats and Smoot later estimated there were 100 women present. But Smoot was apparently the ringleader of this entire thing.

He put the whole thing together while and then I saw she Smith and went down and Steve Smith scored in the end zone and responded by their is that we also did the rowing of the boat to the Nickelback sound because just go through this list real quick and I can already tell you it all deserves this sound Fred Smoot Jermaine Wiggins Mo Williams losses on this last Dante Culpepper Dante Culpepper William Pat Williams right McKinney and Brian McKinney you all deserve. This was pretty good right McKinney didn't deserve dessert and he was there the rest of them deserve our apologies to Brian McKinney, Hannah has her suitors down to four organ recap a dramatic addition of the bachelorette with the bachelorette minute.

Next, I have 620 with last year's when winter grants that occur earlier when a country and I feel like I didn't cut corners. My Harrisville purple.

I paid off the US soccer bat. I said if the US national team one another World Cup like they did on something I would die my hair purple like Megan and I found that now it's going to look this way for a week, but you guys didn't say it had to be exposed all the time so I went in the centerfield within Adidas Is a Photo on Social Media Exports on Dryad I'm Catching up with Frank Snedeker Who I Don't Know Maybe Met Once or Twice so Obviously in That Setting.

Just Because It Didn't Happen Very Often Write You a Small Group of People Elite Club out Your Own Tour and so They'll Do That Going on Sunday Makes It Extra Special Soap Something. I Remember Fondly of You Got the Ball at Home of Its Member If That Week. I Will A Few Things out That I Never Really Keep Me on Wednesday Got Them Both at Home on My Counter for Reason and so on. Before the Club and No One Is Able, Handle Pressure Us with None What Most Registers with You from That Round, Though Obviously It Hit the One from 176 Yards out to Get Drunk and That the Patrons Are Telling As You're Walking up with a Putter in Your Hand That You Will What Sticks out Most to You Now Are That One A Lot Because I Did Not Give All I Can See the Green Are Concealable and so I Got There Thinking Is Usually Close and I Concealable on the Green and Finally the Crowds Are Laughing at Me a Little Bit Saying When the Whole Article You're Currently the More Excited You Are the Hundred 80 Yard Shot of the Hill Is Very Often but Is Critical. Do That and Then off to the Palazzo Was, Where All Together Be Able to Make That but You Had to Your 24 up the Hill to She 59 Was Pretty Special. Brent Snedeker with This Year so You Mentioned You Finished off the Weekend the Right Way You Get the Win for the Second Time Here and That Leads to the Last Image Where Your Two Kids Are Walking up to You and Hugging You As You Finish off the Championship, but They Couldn't Be Any Older Than Seven or Eight Years Old so Have They Are They Old Enough to Be Able to Share Your Success with You. This Is the First Event with a Where Were They Really Understood What Happened at the Time I Have Samuel Grown Five Little Boy Kindergarten Second-Grader and so Is the First Time They Were Really There When I One That I Can Remember at Some Things in Their Babies but Not like It Was Last Year's Really Cool. That Amount with Them and It's on like Little Lights If the Pig Don't Actually Have in Our Kitchen That Picture Me Hugging Them and I Want so on the Plane Coming off Interest Because Such Assessment for Me As a Dad.

We'll Share That with Them, Then Didn't Understand That. Doesn't Every Once in A While Just Lose My Job Is Really Cool Having There for That. So, How Cool Is That in the Householders Dad Very Cool Now.

Yes, Probably Not. Not Nearly As Cool. I Get 2 Dogs Are Way cooler me at home wife or they seem to love a lot more to do me right now, I'm kind disciplinarian, but it occasionally think I'm cool. We are running off course people can understand recognizing a little bit to think how you do this, yards per given the little boy will listen to me all comes to try to get them playing off are actually doing yearly event tonight home, get back in. So coaching for that. I don't think he's going out with coaching something my wife at the Cochin audio for little girl to break the biggest change in the last 12 months.

The grant is the Wyndham rewards top 10. How much is that disgusting clubhouse is what it's done to the schedule and what it might mean to be a part of it not been this year's been a really different year for us is a new schedule right think most guys have really understood what would happen with the schedule thing, fly your pants idealism in the last month of her like a sort of mellow cooking where mound that lists recently, when it if I can when it might adjust my schedule accordingly and I equate to the first year at a fast Playoffs like I didn't really know what it does entail, how big will become what kind of situation with it from the schedule after the first year really gain traction, gas or adjust the schedule accordingly, think the minimum working very similar that this year you first, you gotta try and figure out okay where on the list feasible. Is it reasonable for me to go there when I went went. When the bonus or move up a few spots pretty easily or whatever may be something to see some guys can commit later as a closer find out where they on the list.

The chance to win. And then he offered all gather up there with chance when they cannot add and so that's the whole point. I think in the year it will totally take a different shape to be a lot bigger be a lot more guys talk about lead up to it this year were children figure out because everything's new MPJ BMA for shipment now be your last major here appear certain up next week and then that this World Cup to logoff championship the week after is a lot of new parts coming on this year and I think once once once we get back in shape and people start thinking about the schedule. After that going home, wife sound tournament director Mark Brazeau here at the Wyndham championship. He told us when the news first broke that this is Phil Mickelson texted and said that everybody's going to come to this and now considering where its position in the calendar did is that kind of the discussion that people have in the clutter of the thing is that people don't realize were going from 45 S3 plant that's a sure and so were used to plan for events in the year off like that and used to have Nikon playoff in typhus for week something us losing one of the play offense and adding Wyndham rewards will come to fill that void old that will gather used to been plentiful recent announcement that they were dealing more we realize a business in the year and with that bonus in their trust me, it motivates gas it makes you realize that I'm 11 of them away from winning the next couple million dollars is worth my time to figure thing out and if it is for people other realize this. You've got when the event wins if winds Wyndham rewards from it secondly is personal your own to her behind the Fresca playoffs biggest payout significant.

We have to use A versus some guys out here so I think it will really take shape. Life is on his next two weeks to get us to this last year when you win the Wyndham championship and you leave these doors. What's the first thing to do. Know what home Sunday night with the kids. We flew home and I celebrated as first person I really want to lower ahead time to celebrate with the fans on Monday we just, get her to the kids late school to hire more students are not a breakfast, stay home that day was really enjoy, but we watched the last nine holes on TBN and seen it once he would look like and then you will want to do that night. Celebrate with friends and family home. When I got the next day once it went to New York to play, but first I really had a chance of a celebrated victory to family and think of the home with them and do it. My thinker Brent Snedeker see were in college sports country you are a Vanderbilt comment on a Commodore. I got a no have you been thought you follow the Commodores closely football, basketball very closely. Yes, we have a new coach was actually a North Carolina graduate, Jerry Stackhouse with Siefert. Yes, very excited about how hopefully bring some of that Dean Smith coaching treated with tinted to to Nashville and Vanderbilt. No really excited about was, for the season doesn't close our mantra shown appear in a few weeks and and no, I thought all the close of the work work off the heels of in CAO cultural series national championship that I have to mention Mrs. you know I'm label your frostbite will the best car specialties ever assembled together and when I am also pretty cool to have you down for now. I know you like that stuff going on and no one doing some good work on the golf course as well.

Who knows, maybe Derek Mason will pick some off of Sabin and Endo spoke to me as you know, you never know very soon a great job. One is you guys to counting is your for them to right superior Raven injury the wrong spot. We can't can't stand it with the new coordinator new escorted this your secure see how that goes in and tell him pretty well for fans will be watching closely for us to say the least will be watching you closely in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the time Brandt. Best of luck at the Wyndham. Thank you so much appreciated. That is Brent Snedeker from earlier today Wyndham championship winner from last year and noted SEC football and basketball fan, hoping that Jerry Stackhouse is going to bring some of that Dean Smith flavor to SEC basketball and Commodore basketball coming out this winter, but night, he's a great guy and he didn't notice the fact that my hair was pink or purple. You said that the shade of my hair looks different today than it did yesterday for those who missed it.

We had the bottle here in the studio yesterday. The brand cannot pick this up to beauty in Greensboro right after the US one people paraded me via twitter and email you will follow through purple. Yes, so it has unicorn hair that is that's like the brand it looked like and then it's rainbow mist collect rainbow mist collection color is lollipop.

That's what the hair is called lollipop when I'm rocking with. So it's it's not like it's writer. It's like it's almost like it's penetrating your your hair more. It's like it's deeper like it seems like yesterday was just like of your hair today it seems like you're like Robin in me like shampoo it into your hair. I do know that it advised you to wash your hair out at the end of the night so you don't stain say your bedsheets or your your pillowcases and I remember just trying to wash my hair out in the sink and not much was coming out but the towels were still purple then I went into the shower and the moment to put shampoo in my hair. It all just started coming down in the entire higher the interest it looked like a crime scene that the color of purple could have been mistaken for red bite my bathtub looked like a crime scene for the rest the week. Every night the rest of the week, some going to the – game tonight and my hair is purple and the reason you didn't notice was because I was wearing a hat.

Although it Brandt would've said if I did have it.

Maybe make an LSU joke.

I don't maybe it's it's the same thing that I didn't see it. No way I had that have very low brother.

That hat was just rock in very low, but it's crazy to think that the Wyndham championship Wyndham JV trip week is three weeks away to be broadcasting live there a couple of days during the tournament were excited about that and it kicks off a stretch of eight months here where I think sports are as good around here as they maybe have ever been considering the fact just here in the Piedmont Triad, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point and and the areas in between. You have the revamp Wyndham championship and as Brandt was talking about the new Wyndham rewards top 10 which can incentivize more bigger names to play because of that pot of $10 million. It's good to be split amongst the top 10 finishers Wake Forest for the first time since 1921 is going to be hosting North Carolina, Duke and NC State in the same year and Wake Forest is good.

Three straight bowling for Dave Clawson is bringing back both the quarterbacks was what who were winning games for him last year and and starting left tackle who was injured pretty much all of last year and some key players on defense and Kate Carney at running back coach except they were able to retain some key assistants because they got paid bumps rightfully so. So that's something that's different that we have to look forward to just here in the Triad and then the ACC tournament and the NCAA tournament are both coming back to Greensboro this year's in March to be not college basketball so big around here anyway. But turn the town town Greensboro ACC permit followed by the NCAA tournament man that hurricane of those three things together that cocktail those three things.

It's unique and special and I don't think it's too early to start recognizing that with the Wyndham and wakes home schedule this year and the ACC tournament and NCAA tournament coming back to Greensboro beneath. We got some things we have to discuss memorable Steve Smith memories the Charlotte Hornets and Mitch Kupchak refusing to say a word that I believe is inevitable since the drive is going on your drive with Josh Graham, 620 thing about plaintiff right into what we now believe that sound we have, and it's just a simple laugh that it's great and it comes from a cliff that I think people don't remember the last when they hear your number C Smith telling to keep the lead.

I stop son right it's Monday night football are number where I was I was courtside at Cameron for a basketball game and I was watching it on my laptop trying to follow two games at once. I remember some of the Cameron crazies would be like trying to position themselves and wedge themselves against against each other to get a few up my laptop so they can watch the game that they camped out for waited for and painted up for, but also pay attention to the Panthers game so I didn't hear Steve Smith say to. I believe Albert Briere of NFL network at the time what happened with the keep to leave and then advising him to ice up son, but I think the first part of the exchange in the less memorable part is actually the more entertaining piece of this.

Let's hear the sound when you want to leave on the field. Great answer in real time.

I wish players would be as honest as Steve Smith was what happened on the touchdown port all that is so small and so condescending, so filled with elation it's it's a beautiful piece of sound and the reason why were talking about Steve Smith today recently inducted into the Hall of honor for the Panthers that will be he will officially be inducted during the football season but during the summer to fill Aztec content Wesley walls had a video tribute the Panthers put out during roasting to love and today it was Steve Smith and he Panthers had us filling a certain kind away when they open their video with this.

This is David Tapper telling Steve Smith the news and the soft piano that I'm used to hearing and Tom Rinaldi College Game Day features that make me cry also made an appearance here so listen, you probably are the best player in second place is first so just like Samuel so in the home on you yet you know you will be in. Try forever. Your grandkids come here things in life where I wanted zero Mike Greinke is state trace a place that actually don't know so that goosebumps. So I started thinking about the best Steve Smith memories I have just on the field number one for me is the touchdown. He had against the Rams started double over time and the divisional playoff game. 2003 season Panthers went to the Super Bowl.

A course that year, then the 2005 game. I think that's the best performance I've ever seen a wide receiver play.

If someone asked me what's the best you've ever seen a wide receiver in that sport play.

I'm pulling the 2005 playoff game were Steve Smith almost single-handedly beat the Chicago Bears with Carrie Kilcullen were on the other side facing the double-team just jumping over people scoring multiple touchdowns slant outside posts. He made it all happen, wide receivers, they generally aren't that valuable, but in that game.

It's the most I've ever seen, at least in the playoff game wide receiver contribute so that's number two and then the Fred's bouquet because I love the details of Fred Smoot organizing a sex party on a boat. Indeed, with other players. We would say were the Nickelback's of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2000 including Pat Williams, Jermaine Wiggins and who else but Williams Dante Culpepper and Dante Culpepper as those of the top three for me when I think Steve Smith moments on the field taking aside, putting aside the off field stuff with the lead and Fred Smoot. The comments away from Steve Smith after the fact.

I love him rowing the boat. That's why that touchdown means a lot to me. Those are the three that stick out for me the 2003 season. The 2004 playoff commutes the Rams that you have a number three and you have that number one that's number one. Okay that's my number one also just for. I remember the primal just scream out what I was in an apartment complex at the time with my girlfriend, wife, and were on the top floor and was part underneath us and it was through the first play of double overtime and it was one of his plays were. It's like you see it happen right before it happens and you see Jake see it as you see it selected, with him and then went down and like Smitty comes in untouched literally from what 7 yards out or whatever and I just let out this huge scream in my living room and I just I can remember it as clear as day. It's like the most vivid image I have of Steve Smith that Ramstein, there they are at the tail end up being the great shown time and I remember all the details. Steve Smith safety was Adam Archuleta and he was just he he he was cheating to the sideline and Steve ran what looked to be a post towards the work to be in out towards the sideline or more of the flag route and then after one step towards the sideline and cut it back in and there were a couple of details and that there's some good reporting done by Jordan Rodrigue. The Panthers also did some profile stuff on the specific play to talking about how well it was executed from the line communicating things as they were getting crushed. The entire game and the Panthers realizing that they were jumping their snap count.

So rather than going on. Three. They went on to on that specific play to allow for Jake to have enough time to drop back and find Steve Smith who got right inside of Archuleta and made it to the end zone.

It's one of the Most Important Pl. in Panthers history and to do that on the road that's number one. And it's hard for me to even pick out a play from that bears playoff game but once again, that's a season unlike any season, we seen a wide receiver have since most catches most receptions most receiving yards. It is the Triple Crown for us reset wide receivers nobody's done it since.

Would you say today's wide receivers might have a chance to do that Triple Crown writing was done so far. Probably I would say Jarvis Landry just because a lot of receptions, but he doesn't get nearly the yards you need now is a site like I was saying before, but Antonio Brown maybe I'm probably the closest.

And it's time to really put in perspective how hard it is to do actually came back from a broken light beer before. If you miss any of today show which which featured John folky voice of the Hornets from Las Vegas summer Lake. Also, Brent Snedeker, David Glenn best a podcast available in SoundCloud iTunes modifiable podcast. Subscribe leave a good review. I think that's what I'm supposed to say like we've a good review for the restaurant. I think that's what I'm supposed to say what some of the guests that we like.

Be sure to tweet them to say nice things dumping me just be nice. Say something nice about thing to do this do that by summing on social media to be nice for somebody Mitch Kupchak was talking to reporters in Las Vegas and he doesn't want to use the R word. Now the FCC doesn't have to worry because that foreword is not a curse word. It's rebuilding but that's exactly what's coming for the Charlotte Hornets because while he said that he doesn't want to use the R word and rebuilt. He also said that the higher paid vets aren't guaranteed playing time which I believe is a little bit of a confliction there a little bit of a contradiction. He he I mean he can't. I want to be fair here because Mitch Kupchak even though he didn't come out publicly and say were to be rebuilding.

Can you say that if you're in a spot if you are a team that stinking you are doing that's rebuilding. You can't come out publicly and say hi guys were not making the postseason this year. It's almost a joke. I make your spring practice too much spring practice covered for the college football teams renter you know why it's amazing how hundred and 30 teams are going to go to bowl games and when their conference championship.

It's amazing how that's going to happen.

None of these coaches are to come out and say yeah it's looking like a three and nine season pressing up again every time every time it happens. Miles bridges a lot of credit. Miles bridges started about his rookie of the year to pay, say, do you think you deserve to be rookie of the year. No, we didn't make the playoffs. What do I do have a bonus. No, we didn't make the playoffs. I love that. He said that stuff. It's refreshing to hear it.

Just like it's refreshing to hear Steve Smith dear Steve Smith laughing to keep the leaves face answering the question from from Albert Brader with what happened on the touchdown in a very refreshing way all for tackling 36 777-1600 Seesmic memories Hornets rebuilding. If you want in on that on Twitter at sports. Try they need to go young and tank the right way. Taking is now become a loaded word taking does not mean here's a misnomer taking does not mean purposefully losing game means instead it's it's about playing younger players signing guys to one or two year contract saving money and building through the draft that that's the way you get to the Clippers having a great bench having a good team good enough. The Kawai letter to yeah I can just join this and have a bunch of assets they could try to get a Paul George or or the nets making the playoffs with Spencer Dinwiddie today. Draft drafted to Joe Harris with those guys developing assets you can acquire a D'Angelo Russell that's you build through the draft you build assets to make yourself more valuable. No shortcuts taken taking its it's this this bad name that your purposefully losing no just trying to build through your younger players build through the draft.

Sometimes it takes longer some time to go to lose games short contract expiring contracts until your younger players develop and become stars or become good enough starters that you could be a playoff team perennially then you can start to be aggressive with Matt in Greensboro that once in on Mitch Kupchak in the Hornets.

Matt what you got but yet they were going to develop our young guy take away direct will all be okay inevitable roster 20 by wind, but the most met with Matt almost like you contract and the guy you know 5 million more than anybody else would have not only that, I don't think okay the opera but workload almost like they did anyway like it's a bogus excuse. I don't really give a much credit for thinking that the phone call. It talking about not seriously considering considering a trade for Kimball Walker assuming that they're gonna re-sign them pursuing trying to re-sign him. Here's the direct quote from the athletic. I can't speak to what took place before I got here.

We didn't have the opportunity to pursue a trade or we did have the opportunity to pursue a trade with Canada. The decision was made to keep him but are feeling and hope was that we could re-sign them. Having said that, we feel fortunate to have been able to execute a sign and trade" aunt, and also recognizing the other exact quote, but the high-priced veterans not being guaranteed playing time. Despite the fact you know you're not can it be rebuilding.

He said we have to inject inject this franchise with younger talented players we have to develop them or coach.

One of the things he works on his player development.

We've ramped up our G league in our team in Greensboro. The swarm we have to develop young players and we have to get them into the system and when they get in their 19. Sometimes there are 20 but most of the time, their 19 and they are not ready to play in NBA games. You really have to push them." Not know exactly what position is annuities getting himself into. He knew he was a.going to have a situation with Kimball Walker when he took this job and I still believe you have to give the guy time to build it the right way, you don't take away graphics from someone who hasn't given you a reason to believe he can't draft the right guy. Miles bridges the best replica Hornets of selected since Kimball Walker Aponte Graham seems to be pretty promising and I happen to like PJ Washington thinking he was one of the 45 safest pics in the first round and I'll be honest, I don't know much about the rest of the guys.

Even though the mark of the Martin twins are from here will see what Caleb turns into is a Caleb or Cody. They got them both. Actually, okay, so we'll see what that turns into but not my word would be give the guy some time give the guy time to build the right way, tanking is not a bad word. It just means your building through your younger players and you made that decision whether you know it or not. The moment you did not re-sign Kimball Walker says we got tickets ousted Burger King's acting weird again messing with them again here you remember how to have the weird colored burgers while back or the word: buns angry but the angry whopper there like real legit like our Burger King kings getting weird. I want details in multiple ways.

Burger King has been weird and is being where we do that we take to the house next
