The Drive with Josh Graham - US Women's Soccer - 07/2/19

I drive the US women already one. Nothing meeting or every one of their fixed map in the first well minutes of the map final their facing England Christian press the start over Megan Ruffino as the headed goal. Ellen White just tied up the game for England. So now it's one to one. This is all happening in real time. This is something were following closely on the show because if the US wins the World Cup. I have agreed.

I did so under the influence as I admitted earlier in the week that I will die my hair is purple or pink what Megan Ruffino's rocking we could get to the bottom of that first I said for a week. I will die my hair. Whatever color Megan were Pinot has been was blonde hair during the entire top so that's that's what were doing here. I'm still rooting on the United States. I'm fine paying off. I don't think it's even the bet it's just more of a declaration and trying to participate in something bigger than me but is it pink or is it purple. According to R from Google images looks like it's possible okay that she's blonde so it might be your perfect super bird out story and the player should be and she's dating Megan Capito and said that it's pink. She said it's pink.

I would think she's a better source in Google limit is probably more close than I could be wrong. I'd like to think that's a better source so that happening. Also, I'm still trying to recover after learning the information on Coco Goff that she was born in March 2004 and is beating Venus Williams in straight sets at Wimbledon. It was her Wendelin debut. She's 15 years old. Do you even want to know what the top songs in this country was on the Billboard charts. When Coco Goff was born to make you feel all of them gonna warn you with the other four 2004 top song on the Billboard charts. I'm guess I'm going to guess a Beyonc� phone convince you have an Elmo number one and number two are both by Usher yeah featuring Littlejohn and Ludacris and burn both of those songs songs about Jane came out in 2004 hey Ya by outcast was in the top 10 while somebody was born this year is waiting at Wimbledon so I guess I asked the question, you can respond to it. 336-777-1600.

Where were you in 2004, the Charlotte Hornets may are trying to figure out some answers.

What's it all gonna look like this fall when they start playing without Kimball Walker when they realize what life truly is.

Without number 15 out on the floor scary Terry Rose years could be running the point.

We know that Miles bridges around, but after that did what was going to be for Charlotte. This might be the shows. Goodbye to the Charlotte Hornets even locally. Kimball Walker was what Charlotte relevant even here nationally. They were relevant around here. The only reason people heard about what was happening they had all NBA caliber player on the roster who is the franchisor's all-time leading scorer.

He started in an All-Star game that was played here in Charlotte and we had no idea where he was gonna be this summer. Those talking points are the only talking points that drove Charlotte Hornets basketball this year.

Now that he's gone, what are you left with. There aren't many casual hornets fans. There aren't many casual Carolina hurricanes to talk to Mike Maniscalco, just a little bit from Fox sports Carolinas. That's the challenge.

Both those franchises deal with in Charlotte. No one gives a rip about the hurricanes in Raleigh. No one gives a rip about the Hornets and here in the Triad it's much of the same way we follow whose good people care about the hurricanes when they made it to the playoffs for the first time in 10 years. Now that the Hornets don't have Kimball Walker.

There's nothing about this team that's interesting. The worst thing you can be in sports is uninteresting. If your got awfully bad.

That's one thing if you're the best of your excellent if you are a terrific team. Of course were to follow along with that being uninteresting is the worst thing I can't find anything interesting about this Hornets place whenever the bobcats bad players we know. Okay, you got Raymond Felton you got Gerald Wallace he got back open for even the flaps were interesting how we remember Adam Morrison in college and Sean may what we want.

We watch these guys play me now all these kids are in college for one year. We barely get to know them and they jump into the MBA and when they don't work.

We don't even like them with even like them.

At one point watching the ball. There's nothing about the Charlotte Hornets that resembles interesting. They are the worst situation in the MBA. Everybody's dumping on the Knicks right now I'd rather be the New York Knicks than the Charlotte Hornets. At least they have short intermediate contracts and top 10 pics from the last three years. What I would do what the Hornets would do to have Dennis Smith Junior on the roster or have RJ Barrett on their roster were stuck with miles bridges and PJ Washington. We got so don't make fun of the Knicks because they didn't get Kd and they didn't get Kari Irving. They didn't get anybody in free agency, but don't act like the Hornets situations better than theirs. The Hornets situation is the worst in the NBA right now.

Just ask your opinion on something. I saw transaction earlier today and forgotten scouting floating out there with you rather have scary Terry was here for three years and 50 whatever Milli Vanilli assignment for or would you rather than going to Isaiah Thomas �1.10 million like whoever just picked him up as one of course is Isaiah Thomas, what are we doing, because what we doing that they thought that they were going to get something back from the Celtics and that they were trying to sell us on a player that was starting Eastern conference finals games at this time last year, but it just isn't consistent with what you need to do in order to build teams in the MBA see here is a misconception that people have when it comes to tanking what what you're really doing when you tank your not just deliberately being bad. You are stripping your roster of long term contracts long-term contracts for guys who have expensive deals were on one your expiring's or your keeping younger players around your building team around younger players. Charlotte is doing. None of Charlotte has expensive contracts that are long and they are really building around the younger players they've done not like the sons it's just poor management like they have good players. It's poor management with the Sixers tank when the Sixers and the Hawks tank. They did it in a way for contracts and make baby younger players just weren't ready yet. They were bad, but then was younger players progressively got better as you got good draft picks and then the process leads to you getting Ben Simmons just got an extension of the day Joelle and bead and you have assets that you could trade along the Atlanta Hawks get Trey Young a number of top 10 pics cam reddish this year. John Collins a good team with younger players so that's the misnomer people have about taking it's it's not just putting together players Baker bad it's all about the what the contract, and that's why the Hornets now that the walkers got them signing Terry Rose years with three year deal with that much money it doesn't check out with what I think Charlotte should be doing.

We could even tank right I mean like if we were going tank this past season was the year to tank like who is in the draft next year that we would tank for they couldn't take because they were still trying to convince Kimball Walker to stand right so it's just I don't know the whole thing assist book or situation in the MBA and there uninteresting and we don't talk about things that are uninteresting when white basketball is bad we didn't do much weight basketball.

We just did more North Carolina Duke and NC State.

We have a lot of things people care about the papers and ACC basketball.

The big, for those of the only sport you have casual fans here. Aside from the art Harcourt Hornets alive, Harcourt hurricanes don't have Harcourt pampers and ACC basketball does have that but we have so many local ACC big 14 that when one's bad we just do more talking about the other guys then the teams it's bad and uninteresting in the Hornets there uninteresting and don't have casual fans. Not a good combination how close to the Carolina hurricanes to be a Stanley Cup contender again last TV reporter for the canes Mike Maniscalco is 609 20 now drive with Josh Graham Mike Maniscalco television reporter for the Carolina hurricanes is now joining us he's back with the new contract, it's John fours Lynn Tripp, Tracy and Mike returning for another here on the hurricane got another four from the US women's team one over England Alex Morgan with purple and turned her 30th birthday on the 30th minute. 30-year-old goal. Women one over England.

I didn't know we were interrupting guest with this now.

You can follow Mike Maniscalco on Twitter@Mike Maniscalco.

I'm seeing this on my social media feed right now. You're right it is Alex Morgan's 30th birthday. It was scored in the 30th minute to put the United States women up in this world cup semifinal and to celebrate, remember, in the English papers today.

They were talking about the Americans being too arrogant. The United States scored 13 goals on Thailand and they were still celebrating up nine did not intend to nothing and some of those games. Alex Morgan celebrated the US's second goal by sipping some tea. I can't think of anything better than that from Alex Morgan. It seems fitting that she scores the goal on her 30th birthday will continue to update you on that. Mike now joins us.

Sorry for the brief delay there Mike, we had to get a US women's World Cup update there, but Mike you. I'm not sure if you even notice before we get to the canes.

There was a debate that has then gone statewide a sixgun statewide that you started here on this show regarding my hair you're talking about me being a ginger and I never denied having red hair. But then Desmond disagreed with that assessment, which then got to Hayes per Martin, Darren Vaught, who were doing the data going show on my vacation last week and all I'm getting is text message text messages from people saying that I am a redhead, or I do not have red hair. I appreciate you starting all of this while working I say I love the last point topic of that important of a local community or white event. I'm glad that your hair topic started by me something people are talking about.

Yes and were happy to know that you're going to continue being on the Carolina hurricanes TV broadcast. This year's sign an extension along with John fours Linden trip Tracy so we look forward to seeing a lot more of you with the hurricanes coming up this fall but tell me this. We heard from Tom Dunn then a few hours ago talking about Sebastian Ortho that matching the offer from the offer sheet from the Montr�al Canadiens and extending him through 2023, or extending him five more years, or to say until he is 27 Tom Dunton's quote was this is not the way he wanted this to go so what do you think the canes could've done better in handling this good and warm right here currently wanted record Rick Reichert not really about Eric whatever to keep track of what could've been done differently. Go look around. We welcome Braden point nondirective and dumb and captivating make Monarch you give me a reason why because they can't come to agreement on money and confirm the Sebastian great did not agree on money and current Don Waddell that it yesterday when he was addressing the media, which was simply no.

This was something that they can be coming, but now the sun all summer negotiating a contract and that's what happened, but what could've done different organization could've given for� Technology� You wanted from the start. That's not how negotiations go. I know so you don't always get what you want. Had an opportunity legally through the collective bargaining agreement shall go find a way to get the deal. They wanted from someone else in Montr�al, Montr�al try to put the poison pill of $21 million signing bonus in the first year forgetting that Tom Dunn billionaire white like that check anytime you want. Sebastian would violate not $21 million. All 12 million 9 million a little bit later on here so that without talking down what marketing make sure that we give an offer sheet require the could've given that Gilly wanted to be the only way is this really Mike how negotiations go when you consider the fact you mentioned the CBA what what the CBA allows for restricted free agents, but there hasn't been an an offer she offered for restricted free agent in six years. I believe so when you hear that there were some there were some type of break off and communication in terms of negotiations around the draft and a host Saying there wasn't going to be a counter offer. What do you make of how we ended up getting to this point today about the founder we really want would like Mike Maniscalco is on Twitter@Mike Maniscalco.

Now the next question is trying to figure out what Justin Williams is going to hurricanes Capt. still is taking time to figure out whether he wants to return for another season. It still sticks with me after the final game of the Eastern conference finals. Justin Williams is there he is in tears not wanting to get out of his uniform with his with his two children.

There and it just seemed like the entire season. You don't really appreciate how much of a grind. It is until the very end when you're there and there's no more games left to be played, how much does your view of what the canes are and what they can be hinged on Justin Williams decision. One of the criminal court right now and will not work out. You got her rally together last year, but are playoff without him earlier know what happened today when this organization wake up the left that he thought of how to go about how to win, how to carry themselves over what hearing on hope that he can be around for the live longer, but it ultimately Don Waddell said today often got to the pond on talking about and spoke with you about what I was off about. Basically what the general manager McCain said he is still on the fence about it, but I needed important. We can't but you can't make that decision final until the final will have to be hundred percent not hundred percent in you, you paint a picture there got will give you full credit on myself and William there with children around him crying a little emotional. Williams that he let you know that my uniform off the other side of that is really call you were there so you know that you have. I don't mind. I like sharing it again, and this was in the locker cleanout. You have to be 100% in because of the God what it takes out of you and be that you can't be 90 or 95% of all way. So there's no rush to get this done. No rush sure that there is something given him a phone call, but if he plays the only place the Carolina shop if he played most of the NHL next year, but you can't make the decision and I think that that's probably won't get until we get a little bit later in July. Probably somewhere around that we could live You caught me and being dramatic.

I could've made it more dramatic. I could just say I want you not like I was there a few feet away. As the kids were looking up at their father, Sam, Papa don't please please don't retire. The team needs you, Papa and this this is something that really hit me like a ton of bricks. This this headline yesterday in Wimbledon. Coco Goff is 15 years old, Mike and Pete Venus Williams and her Wimbledon debut.

She was born March 2004. What was Mike Maniscalco doing in 2004 number 24 minute long and well written.

Virginia probably will probably and I was getting ready to turn the 2004 March no letter on now 29 years old and 28, 29, I'm old man Mike it's always good to hear your voice. Congratulations on the contract will be chatting sometime soon. Thank you so much Josh. You are also with your word movement that's not Mike Maniscalco on Twitter@Mike Maniscalco, could I have painted that image even more dramatically. Justin Williams in the locker room, tightly grasping onto the Jersey. He might be wearing for the final time in NHL competition.

His checkered colored beard with gray hairs signifying that the end is nigh, just balding weeping at the site of his children. In that moment approaching him and he started reflecting Dez on the three Stanley Cup sees one prior including the one before we got married and had those children.

The 2006 Stanley Cup at the hurricanes quantity score, the empty net goal role Justin Williams in the most emotional state of the Carolina hurricanes like Rome for coming to light a pipe and put on like smoking jacket or something. Williams is up with the CRTs showed that ready to storm the castle. The reason his voice brought to you in part by offering guys is one of the grand slam that is close to my hot grams/hello chicken on top with also a Buffalo chicken base weights, no weights. It is a Texas case law on this pizza that the law that is ace pastoral support off the show. It's a secret, secret, very secret item here today. How delightful it is delightful. It's a secret menu item that you can order called it a little bit of sound Sandler. There was cheese steak.

Ha equipped with the special cottage cheese, cheese, and cheesesteak.

It's delicious with mushrooms on top to cream you may have gotten me and yeah it's if you were parts the place, you should try is by guys did in the Village Commons right off of Louisville Clemmons Road by guys pizza you can find them at that location also apply. Guys.com coming up work, why Leonard needs to go and also my experience trying the chinos chicken sandwich you're on the drive.

Talk about how this is 620. Now back to the drive Josh Graham records grant Wilkerson knew hanging out in studio with us bachelorette minute is ahead and try to figure out the best way to go about doing this. This segment is growing in popularity getting a lot of tweets some emails you can triad care to chime in via phone, call 336-777-1600 the way to go about doing so.

I'm just looking down at my phone and I have a note from last nights episode might've been the best episode we've had so far.

People being sent home interesting things happening involving former sports stars here in the triad. It was compelling stuff you ever think about your life choices when you realize that you also several pages of notes on your phone all the time.

Tyrannosaurus flex tweets and speaking of the bachelor I went to a wedding with Luke P wants dude creeped me out. The whole time. Not a fan on that note, let's get to the bachelorette minute that has way too much imaging that it needs so Josh and I think the best way to do this just to read what I have on my phone and deliver it that way. Just go through line by line. When I had here.

Let's start with Jed because he had a one-on-one date.

This was my favorite but apparently trending all over the Internet. The last few weeks. Jed has a girlfriend. This is this is breaking news to her community. One of the favorite.

This seems like what happened in the NBA finals where the favorite doctors is Achilles and the raptors were allowed to sleep in. In this case the informer way quarterback Tyler C taught my dad always great advice from father mother knew pop pop great advice. There, but even though he has a girlfriend allegedly still so charming. I have written my phone has a girlfriend so charming that I have written down right and explain how I connect to Mimi's country music singer from Nashville.

This is somebody I still think is going to be around the end.

Even though it seems like a spoiler to suggest that he already has a girlfriend or is had a girlfriend. This entire time Tyler C. Meanwhile, they got a one-on-one date gave a quote I'm good to be honest, I failed a lot of my life." Yeah, we know that every week ran over three pass against Florida State with three interceptions. Not great, Bob, great cities, riding horses with Hannah where they, the Netherlands, Amsterdam, and answered him and apparently you can just ride horses with no direction, no ability to ride the horses going backwards seems very dangerous, like birds and he's eating eating fish out of each other's and it was disgusting gross really Tyler is my guy Tyler stood up for Hannah last week when Luke was very upset with her for freedom right Tyler C have this written down to my phone easily.

The front runner pilot P is the biggest threat pilot P.a rose and he still hanging around, he's gotten one on one day this man just charming as can be and floating along some of the people that went home Connor was nice to know you even though we didn't really know this guy is the example of who is the football team that waits until the fourth quarter to start throwing the ball.

It was just way too late for Connor played it way too conservatively. During all of these cocktail parties. He's just hanging back letting people fire at each other and knocked themselves out of the game then you try to go to Hannah when he didn't get a one-on-one daily coveted and he's going on because you guy played way too conservative.

You just sat in his own defense a little bit too long and prevents you from winning. That's right Donner, Mike. Meanwhile was Bryant's favorite one black guy on the show that he was he was smarter, more mature than everybody else. One thing that can hold them back is just overall BS of the show. However he's going up an elevator ready for a date art hanging around. Seems like right up the alley of Mike gets up to the top of the elevator. Hannah is in tears. She is bawling her eyes out. That's never a good sign is ever under any circumstances, bachelorette or not a good sign in well for you. If the girl you're going on a date with the person you're talking to who was a woman is in tears at the start of the conversation go. That does not end well. Generally more in Christ Toby wife very proud of what what are your thoughts on how well so moments later they sit down and just cut my head off clean. What happened this is had no this is happened I just wanted to let you know and I manhandled it about as well.

As Tony Bennett did after losing the UN BC stepped to the microphone and just gave all the credit UN BC and Mike in this case was just saying. I hope Hannah find what she's looking for. Thank you for being honest with me. They got clean, punched in the face emotionally and handled about as well as he can, that might be the guy wins the bachelor or the bachelor next to it way where it so she so hold on for she cut the blackeye only black on the cast legit reason why Zeus like Michael work out and furthermore the way much to be honest with got pulled over fire for dating while black folks on twitter are saying is one person doesn't know know the right to say around the guys like these in a room with the other guys some Mike goes home so they take your bags away from where the real estate so everybody else in the room knows Mike just went home. All the other guys like oh no, not my reaction from me was he started laughing and clapping one down one more down by going up the sea was actually in Toronto.

He was one of the band, cheering when Kevin Durant suffered is Achilles injury just why one more mad now go out with Luke P essentially dead.

I really couldn't believe it when he said came out all hail Mary.

I couldn't believe that not down to him and Garrett. Garrett was swaggering along competent, but is not. I bet he's going to get the rows not not Luke and not get one last meeting with Hannah and Garrett took the positive route that I love you to Hannah, Luke P starts talking about safety, alcohol and women led them to Jesus in the shower. One day a voice from Jesus gave to our shower mirrors. That was my thought you sounded just as believable. And the producers I have it written down, producers can get you now because they led you to believe that this is going to call but no survives were down the hometown dates now Luke P as you are your this year there, they come out of the gate.

Hi a little bit of bumpy road in the middle but I keep on surviving the surviving people on skating by the skin of their teeth in the down the hometown dates which means the last of the four gentlemen get to take Hannah home to introduce her to their parents real drama. Is there some sort of wildcard thing or something worse when it's been ticked off and come back and come to root for the brother got to spend that was there like five minutes ago the blackeye that you didn't know you. I really am hoping to come back and even cited so you do anything wrong. Black is the best show drain like you know like the hometown date like his music start to run and hit the chair just got a penalty kick is your fourth minute the US to stop the PK crazy stuff happening US soccer team in the bachelorette.

Welcome to July, John Grassley, Mrs. July. We sleep in August him on the show.

Rusty for all you said I was wrong breaking a story once last year and it turns out John was wrong. All that's related contrary to reports from Josh Brown while we are in the demented don't you have better sources than Rusty. Well it turned out I did not care what a great segment there's bachelorette Pierce women's world soccer with hatred towards Josh to transition got held down. Fantastic work you have the clip of Roy Williams saying this is June last year.

Last month Roy Williams was was talking about: Anthony being left off the Cousy award and stole John Rothstein's line saying this is June David going to join us at 530. The drive is brought you in part by her friends at Twin Peaks Restaurant Hanes Mall Blvd. in Winston-Salem. You could find the perfect place to watch the World Cup.

Maybe the women will be in the final they can hold off England in the final five minutes year.

Maybe.

Perhaps we have that clip from Roy Williams past year that we we rested.

We sleep in August. Does are you interested in the hometown dates now next week. I don't know what I know and probably not what you just no way to now tell me the black arms. While there are multiple black guys they just knocked out very quickly and then Mike was the one hanging around true. Watched Rudy for Mike gold Mike Black Mike.

None of us none of us brought up the fact it was like we don't colored slot saying you don't see colors racist Scotty will care for Josh not check your privilege. I'll check my privilege and a second.

In the meantime, the five big stories of five are coming up with just 600 David Glenn to join us. Just a short while our early afternoon, we will pursue new from the Greensboro news and record hanging out studio with not a lot of things happening when you consider the Carolina hurricanes are able to re-sign Sebastian hello after the Montr�al Canadiens did something no other team has done for the last six years.

That is offer a contract to a restricted free-agent and the hurricanes obviously were going to match for Sebastian, although they also re-sign Peter Moran, Isaac, who was the goaltender women on all meeting Mary ladies from England on the final year.

I have no idea when the final play play when rewriting. I mean, you do have a computer in front of you, and you could search these things before you give the update. The US will play either Netherlands or Sweden.

That's coming up on Sunday so 11 AM match on Sunday. Does that mean I'm no longer to be interrupted anymore. I can continue doing the radio show as it's supposed to be done.

I mean we have a guest in here for God's sake cannot continue doing the show. John yeah all you will you okay so hurricanes number Isaac. He's back. Sebastian goes back and were waiting on Justin Williams if he comes back. This might be a contender if he doesn't, I'm a little concerned about that.

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets, they no longer have Kimball Walker so does that mean there's no other reason to follow this basketball team or be interested in what they're doing now.

Lenny is very interesting to see how hilariously bad they are. If they do what they should do you commit to a full rebuild and just drop every reasonable player on the roster like this is worse situation in the NBA really like is the go to scorer for the hornet past scary Terry Rozier coincidently as we were talking about the bachelorette got dumped on by Hannah in an episode earlier this season that work just happens handling 73 work she's got a CSS EC speed is to be SEC Alabama broad real time.

It was an episode with her in jail and brown him in jail and brown the bachelorette.

It was a date between Jed and Hannah are playing basketball.

He played 212 Celtics of the very realistic dates on the shower.

They go to lock the stony play basketball. Stony is more like a second or third day yeah thinking that you are here in a dive bar and talking about all of your shortcomings and bring up your axes method of dating save that for next week's bachelorette minute but I'm serious, after scary Terry Rozier who are they going to. I saw a seriously clunk I saw a serious assistant coach. The Hornets talking dead serious. Trying to sell me on Duane Bacon being a score for this team. No jokes. It would be very funny if he was kidding Duane Bacon relying on him to be a score for this to come on the score for this. I have a dilemma. So the program director your sports hub. We started a deal with the Hornets last year to start blackeye games all in this year were supposed to broadcast morning and we did the year before.

I was planning on broadcasting up to 60+ games of Hornets over talking about this out loud. Now we are right. I've been bothered by the since the weekend I got really, truly am trying to figure out what to do its thing.

I know that's my point is no such thing as this is the problem the hurricanes in the Hornets both face. There is no such thing as a casual Hornets or hurricanes fan they don't really exist unless the team is good right watch good teams, but there's no such thing as a casual Hornets fan amid mediocrity. It's just not happening the hurricanes to make the playoffs for 10 years. Guess what, no one cared about the hurricanes because they were making the playoffs that that's the way it works here. The only casual sports fans that exist in this state who for teams in the state Carolina Panthers have casual sports fans. They got to the point where that that's the case people to follow pampers the matter what. Even if you're not a hard-core and AC basketball North Carolina basketball fans Duke fans NC State fans wait for Smith. That is, it there aren't casual fans for anybody else in the state curses voodoo.

The kind of stuff with the curse before for the hornet eyeful like the Hornets that were calling the Hornets are not the Hornets for the bobcats and Hornets uniforms in the real Hornets soul was still in New Orleans where to go look at their roster. That's five guys on it silencing from South Carolina's audit.

It was the original Hornets that left her in the middle the night in the first place and there to do much better in working to do next season and they have no business doing that when they have the number one overall pick.

It it would behoove the Hornets to try to get a hold exhibition game at the Coliseum against pelican focaccia you're listening to W STS Winston-Salem W COG Greensboro WPC in Burlington W MFR hype. What I Josh Graham 920. This headline really bothers me from you, being a role player you Venus Williams and about a great story to me. My idle to pick up a tennis racket growing up in Atlanta with because of Venus and Serena Williams to be her in your debut while also doing a science that you got a B+ on during qualifying. It's a wonderful story, but the part that bothers me is that she was born in March 2004, when the song that you're currently hearing was released. That's right yeah but Usher featuring Littlejohn and Ludacris was released in March 2004, when the player that just want to match in Wimbledon was born Brandt. Where were you in March 2004, I was just about to wrap up my high school diploma northern Durham high school. I had frosted blonde tips I was driving a white Honda Civic. I worked at Chick-fil-A OII had frosted tips. I met a lot of really bad here decisions for a while. Guess you need to see this photo yeah how can I get to the right. Brandt find a way to get Dez a photo of you in the frosted tips. Maybe you just put it on social media people can find it at rant at Brandt BRA C GNR follow them on Twitter, you should have your ACC basketball fan also.

It would be great just with no contacts. You just post a photo with you and frosted tips looking like Lance Bass or something like give a just and some lightning going on. Think yeah that was kind of basically the gist of this photo. I braided one day in English class is a whole lot happened.

I don't think we've ever given you more incentive to go to with Twitter. At Brandt GNR at sports hub triad. We will retreat this as soon as he gets it out for the people to see box. It's crazy to me. I still haven't accepted the fact that there are news headlines out where people are doing things in the world of sports who were born in the year 2004. I've just recently accepted that people born in this millennium can do things Zion, for example, I'm just starting to get used to this and this this headline.

It bothers me that bothers me deeply. I haven't grasped it completely.

I'm looking at this Martian baseball player guy nicknamed the Martian, who apparently control ball hundred and 10 miles an hour out of centerfield at 16 years old. The Yankees just gave 5 1/2 million dollars a signing bonus, you will be able to play and be a part of the of their system until next year, but he is a player that a lot of people were talking about today born in 2003, 2003 at 2004 like I was struggling with math basic back in 2004 as a teenager I was made and what were you doing in 2004 buying $0.50 and Tim McGraw CDs 33677716.

Under what were you doing in 2004. Too bad they didn't make it 15 years old or what you were doing in 2004.

Double question Dick Beck 336-777-1600 Dez just got the photo from Brent Wilkerson is on Twitter now II didn't suite it. I just know you should put it on Twitter or DM days is the end of the suggestions message it to me if you want to go play, stress can we put on our Twitter page at sports on tryout ask is just no context, just put the photo up because again, traffic hashtag content driving people to our Twitter. Go for it all right is just put it on Twitter here because I want to see it.

Get yourself blocked by several people, probably about please I put a photo up there me shirtless posing on flex right back. That became a topic of conversation in several group shots that are part of no contacts give us that photo on our Twitter page at sports hub triad.

I don't want any context, people know what's up. Go out of your way to find that photo 2004, though. What other sports could a 15-year-old make news in the way that Coco Goff did this week other than the Olympics this it really is only tennis like say there isn't phenom's like the Martian, but the Yankees just gave a contractor histamine gasket not to say there is a phenom such as like Freddie are doing soccer or Christiana Rinaldo when he was younger like these are phenom players, but not knocking off the top players in the sport that you catch that Freddie had a story last week but having Freddie do you still he still just kind of chill and trying trying to make it happen in soccer. He's been around the world, but in several places and now he's just kinda training people is playing in Jesus used to be. Now select something else now.

Maybe it's all natural light in MLS. First, it's one of the lower-level American soccer league city is talking about, you know how he's just does it for love now basically he's training kids and clubs are not really playing but trying to make it work. He's been here and there and he is he is the first guy that I really remember being that not phenom the Savior. I'm just now seeing these photos of your man. Yes there on real like their everything I ever wanted curls without more, the curls all clearly drops you right back in 2004.

Oh my gosh, what was your favorite Timberlake so hunk man I think is a big se�orita Crimea River guy boa. There is a sense of thought. US women's national team. They want to do one.

A lot of people were dumping on Megan repeat right now I just got this message. Megan Ruffino finally in the position she belongs so much courage so much bravery. Apparently her good friend Ben Swain on Twitter says that repeater just said that she thinks she will be ready for the final contract so she is dealing with an injury. He's dealing with an injury. Knots will maybe it's a curse. The trumpeters of the trumpeters. She said she want to go to the White House months ago. But here's the thing it's it's a fascinating thing where working to hate an athlete because of her political views.

It's not the action. Anybody who says it's the action is full of your not Matt it it it is a straw man to say that people are legitimately mad. You aren't sinking in your hand over your heart. We would not notice if she didn't and she didn't have these political views.

It's about the political views more than anything else. That's what it is here. This is a calling Her neck, Knelt and that was a lot of people were mad legitimately at the action. That's why the message was so easy to hijack this here there is in any of that.

It's I am masking my disdain with her political opinion by saying that I'm upset.

She doesn't have her hand over her heart and she singing during the song understands other hand over the heart and sing during the song the same thing every time Tim Thomas would endure the White House and Pres. Obama was there and he was right. A lot of people crush Tim Thomas for doing everybody is going to feel.

However, their personal titles on any given aircraft Tom Brady. These people who say they love trump or our friends would trump Tiger Woods golf would trump. I could care less. I am very apolitical.

I don't care that those guys like trump what their political opinions are. I say that to say as well. I don't give a rip Megan repeat no wants to do with the World Cup world while White House invitation but does not matter to me. So the idea that she somehow less patriotic because she doesn't have her hand over her heart and isn't singing the song while representing the country in scoring for consecutive goals for the United States and knockout games. I think it's absurd and a lot of the criticism is pretty crazy to its nobody would notice nobody would notice if she wasn't one of the best players. Nobody would notice and she didn't have those opinions three months ago but she does have those opinions and she isn't singing the song doesn't have her hand over her heart. It allows an outlet for people to needle in and criticize her.

James and Clemens James are on the sports up what you got on Megan Ruffino, James doing good. Hope you are going to complain because there my neighbors that were sitting during the game and I'm sure of it so we could be upset about them. The majority of people do not end up when they're sitting at home watching a sporting they don't stand up. They don't put her hand over their heart but they want to credit and that's the only thing that bothers me so much James for the call is what is the proper decorum when you're at a restaurant and watch the games you stand for the put your hand over your heart. If you're not at the event.

I was struggling with this while grabbing some bruise in the flow club for the � they had them starts playing and I immediately put my hand over my heart. But then there's other people just sitting there eating a deal with us. When I do play a plea for high school football and they do the anthem. You can look out and see the crowd.

Some people don't stand it all to sit there and you look around the booth and a lot of people some path of the standing other half is still prepping so it's like what is the proper etiquette for this like my supposed to stand, but mount my hand over my heart was much wasted.

Do whatever I want. Here's what I encourage you to do you want the next time you go to a sporting event, but I keep track of how many people.

Most people stand how many people have their hand over the heart and are singing the song because I doubt you get the 50% I doubt 50% of the board doing that. There are some were creeping a look at their phone their sonic scratch either side. There are some gorgeous looking up at disguising our wins.

There's going to be over. Then you'll find the 1% who use every national anthem is an opportunity to reflect on this country and then you you think about the concourse where everyone is just shoving hotdogs in her mouth and try to get that last year before they go out to the seating bowl bathroom a lot of people. You can hear the national anthem out there a lot of people that everybody's concourse to grab food and drink, where where the people yelling at their lack of patriotism for not standing and singing your hand over heart as it is on your a wealthy athlete who is blessed is Megan repeat that's the thing is they are expected that because of being an American. They were blessed to be wealthy and often give thanks you to the song. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, women, professional athletes who also are lesbian or gay in this country. They just had it too good for too long. Brandt, thanks for being your body. It's been fun. I enjoy doing some yelling. My little horse in the throw down Ocean Isle now and have a relaxing couple of days will find out what our early afternoon host David Glenn was doing in 2004 next 609 20. Now back to the drive with Josh Graham affecting your question about whether dollars is a lot of money for your further not not reported that Dr. Chuck was Tom's on the Carolina hurricanes owner earlier today when asked on a teleconference just how concerned he is with the $20 million or so signing bonus that has to be awarded the best in auto matching the offer. The Canadian centers waived an offer sheet yesterday. It's, it's quite a flex just saying yeah it's not that big of a deal to sign that check it just isn't $20 million that they have to awarded him in. Once this year and then another time next year to combine for $21 million or so to be enjoyed by early afternoon host David Glenn now though is a season-ticket holder for the Carolina hurricanes that last song that we just heard to was a song by Maroon 5 that was released in 2004 heard a lot of song from 2004 today because cocoa golf, a 15-year-old Bates Venus Williams in Wimbledon yesterday.

It had us thinking it's crazy. Athletes are in the news that were born in the year 2000 force her to start things off by asking where were you at this time in 2004 bullet point. I own my own company in terms of the eight port drilling sports.com I was still a practicing attorney might show not yet why sports radio but we were on that trap so it was one of the knowledge I have all that stuff going on professionally. I bet white was the father of Mildred now well into 13 so there was no valid or not, you will find quite a bit better and I'm glad I did. What's your pros cons analysis of the offer sheet. The hurricanes matched in order to retain Sebastian Pro called the of the Montr�al Canadiens and then a method for the National Hockey League that just because they're a lower budget just because there will market you and just because they're in a nontraditional hockey market and just because you know the Montr�al Canadiens can seriously turn a profit more than $100 million.

Even in years where they myth while whereas the canes lose millions of dollars. Typically when the oil even with all that going on. They're not going to let big-budget big part market Montr�al Canadiens and financially bully the Carolina and I love you played from conduct in the canes owner.

On the way back in man, you can hear often quite competitive, personality, and enjoy how it sounds when you want $20 million check to be candid. It's really no big deal. He knows that that confound elitist or arrogant or kind of thinking, but in. I'm glad focus boldly as he did. I am glad that he met the Canadians offer sheet for Sebastian. "Had he not hurricanes would have become the laughing stock of the National Hockey League. It would've been the first player stolen away by offer 12 years it would've been the method lighter agents than everybody else in the hockey world that the canes just can't play with the big boys and obviously defend an entirely different method. Coming off one of their better seasons along long time and the big positive take away. There are some negative main Sebastian, although rather have them under contract Route 20 reagent turning 27 years old knows if they have fractured their relationship with oh is one of the rising stars in hockey at this earlier stage of his career that stuck behind the curtain that we don't know all those details, so it's not a perfect scenario, but they absolutely got the biggest bullet method to everybody including their own plan that they're not getting pushed around financially. Just because they have a smaller economic model. I'm glad you bring up the relationship between when the canes behind the scenes because there is a perception in the league, and I'm not talking about the canes being a smaller market franchise them not being able to compete in the big boys not being dismissed today.

The way they were able to call the bluff in your words of the Montr�al Canadiens. I'm talking more about dungeon in the hockey world where people have alleged that this guy is a penny pincher where PE somebody who will part ways with the legendary voice of the hurricanes for financial reasons and Chuck Caton and he will not get the big contract to Elias Lindholm or Noah Hannah before trading them away and he will be somebody who was a tough negotiator.

It points even here when Sebastian also negotiations. According to Don Waddell broke off around the draft when they lowballed them in an offer that was an eight year term that was just a little bit more than $7 million a year. When he got here a little over 8 million.

The offer apparently was so low that I hose representation said that they work in a counteroffer than that allowed for the Canadians to come in with an offer sheet that we have some sound from Tom Dunn, the more sound from him on the notion or at least of responding to the rumor that hose agent or the Tahoe was pursuing another team that he wanted to leave the Carolina hurricanes. I have not heard back and say that he said it, that would be different. But he didn't know the fact that the fact that an agent that it means there's no credibility to a number one and number two I know what I think of this person in this player and there's nothing that could make me or the organization not appreciate everything you done for now that it's now that's all hose representation and you're saying that that guy has no credibility you have among contract for five years. So if if he is a valuable asset.

Five years from now. That means he's done some good things for you, but there also is the thing here where if he's a UFA at 27 and 27 years old and he is a great player to be hard to afford them and really want to stick around when Tom Dunn to the owner is saying things publicly, such as that. I think bottom line number one when it comes to conduct in general the heart and he knows the small market Healing or just throw money around, you know the way George Brenner did with Yankee years ago in baseball. There's no doubt that the general approach. Let's just remember that it has worked well more often that it has worked poorly. In other words, how did they get Peter Moran to refine at roughly $3 million year after you and even at the goaltender well and emotional pain that give Peter whatever you want and are undergoing about there getting 10 million a year, year 5 million a year yet too many of those emotional contract.

What you're bad for different reasons because you're handcuffing yourself on other coming down the pike Tom dungeon took a more conservative approach with a year ago. Credit had a career year and Jeff wanted his price went up.

So taking the deliberate approach worked with Peter Moran they got them for three while the other goalie forgetting what much more than that the deliberate lowballed. If you want to call it. That approach paid off in several cases it complicated things in the and then when it comes to five years down the road. Let's remember this a lot can change agents can change attitudes can change. We don't know the ride Brind'Amour here at the head coaches get a lead to a string of making the playoffs.

Everything will year or maybe the culture here is one that NHL players continue to like we already know that they and their families in large numbers like like living here so much that they often settle here when they're done playing hockey so there's some negative smaller market. You have a tough negotiator. They had made the playoffs in a while, but there are there's an upside. What is that picture look like five years from now is ride Brind'Amour on his way to legendary coach six straight years of the playoffs for the Tahoe to get hurt truly become a 30 to 40 goal year guy something less than that there is risk involved for auto taking shorter-term just as there is risk involved for the taking. Shorter-term I wouldn't worry too much about Tom dungeon opening agent. I think agents are on alert that if you try to use the Montr�al Canadiens at the pawn if you sold a bill would get good for the Canadian weight agent apparently did you structure the deal for a certain way that Tom dungeon guy a not written off and not willing to spend enough.

That is what the canes believe those aged old general manager of the Montr�al Canadiens and clearly you believe the walk-on got a different message and I think that message is infinitely more important than any personal relationship with an agent can be complicated but not yet what the rest of that picture which we don't know yet if even going to be way more important than whether Tom dungeon agent if he still evaded by then like each other or dislike each other or something in between David Glenn with the seer on the David Glenn show.

I think you look at teams that are supported well in this in the state in terms of having more than just hard-core fan bases. You got the Carolina Panthers that the rotunda casual fans for the ACC before college basketball teams there.

There hurricanes in the Hornets of the two franchises that haven't really developed that because they haven't had significant or consistent success where people in Charlotte year round would care a lot what's happening with the hurricanes and vice versa. People in Raleigh tearing a lot about the Charlotte Hornets and what's happening with the team flipping things.

The basketball is there a situation you can think of off the top your head.

That's the worst in the NBA worsening MBA than what the Hornets are looking at because I can't think of anything worse in sports than being uninteresting being lacking any type of compelling storylines going into the year, at least while the Hornets were bad last year not making the playoffs. You had Kimball Walker yeah no NBA player. Now what you got it working in the NBA. I agree with you being Campbell walk away under the terms and arguably the greatest player in franchise is truly embarrassing and that is not too strong a word. You knew the risk of going this far toward the end of the contract. If you knew this was going to be the end result, you would've gotten a lot more than Perry Road year if you had traded him at the deadline even or even in the off that franchises simply don't allow it to happen with the franchise type player like Kimball Walker. Remember, even when they walked Alonzo mourning and Larry Johnson back in the early 1990s. They saw it coming and wanted to get to get in return. Among other Glenn right happening me with the other best players in franchise all that one had to leave that bad but you didn't compound the problem by failing to get another big time player or two high graphics and return the only reason I don't think the worst is that I follow the Washington with John wall automatic contract with an Achilles problem. They have your Bradley Beal and hardly any other go with it for what, but they also have an older rather than being perspective the way Michael Jordan is respected by many of the greatest basketball player of all time.

The wizards are a joke of a roster joke of an owner dysfunction junction in the front office without any apparent plan that some of those things, but the Hornets you have an owner who was respected in different way maybe not as a team builder given his lack of success.

Over nine years the majority owner, but is not viewed in the same completely distasteful way of the entire front office and hierarchy of the Washington wizards organization so I guess that one way of saying there's somebody else who looks even worse out there, but the Hornets are certainly on the short list that you don't want to be on the wizards are owned by Ted Lyons since is also the owner of the Washington Capitals, but some think it just bothers me the most. You mention how much respect that Michael Jordan carries his name. The reverence with MJ and I can't. Charlotte is a smaller NBA franchise but there's another team that's and what was in worse financial straits from a Standpoint in the Hornets were that have has has an owner's. At least somebody who runs basketball operations. It's an NBA legend that found a way to get out of the hole this weekend. That's the Miami Heat, Pat Riley continues to get meeting cities had successes in executive but I mean how can Michael Jordan not even get in the room with these guys get Miami they can land Jimmy Butler can move off of Hassan Whiteside's contract and get decent players in their while.

One of their franchises best players walking out the door and in Dwayne way it bothers me that you have Michael Jordan and he carries that this so much weight in the sport and we can get in the room to get some players that can improve the team on Michael Jordan not earned the power of more of a drawing card for the Hornets. Now we all know you think Charlotte is never going to be able to wear a top five market will come to LA or New York and you get all the extra bonuses beyond your salary. We know that Charlotte Wally big and growing just doesn't have that offer and won't anytime soon so that the negative what you're Michael Jordan. And whereas the smaller market. Antonio spurs took some smart traffic and then some success on the court and used creative ways. They were always the biggest vendor in free agency, but man did they recruit not only the players but they recruited their wide. They recruited their family. They showed them the neighborhoods where they would live. They showed them the practice facility.

They bartered them up with the nutritionist and chef and a traveling staff that will follow you around the country and make life beautiful for your family start with Marty. We all know that. But in the modern day NBA.

A lot of the bigger free-agent are getting virtually the same numbers offered by different franchise once you get to that point, you have the Space to offer money. These guys are making life efficient, can I when there do I like the head coach there.

Is there a functional front office ownership like there they have enough talent that if I join them. We have a chance of competing for Michael Jordan has not used his own name as a drawing card enough and have not figured out enough of those other secondary and meanwhile you talking about Tom Duncan having a reputation with the hurricanes for being that tough negotiator and staying with the smaller payroll that is fair criticism. Michael Jordan has a reputation and a well-earned one for being a cheap guy when it comes Hornets are one of I believe only to NBA franchise that have never been to the luxury tax and that's not all on Michael Jordan. He's only been the majority owner for almost a decade, but it certainly on him lately last nine years. If you don't have the market size working for you and you don't have the recent title contention working for you you better find something else to work for you on Michael Jordan at the leader that franchise that he hadn't come up with more creative angles to make the Hornets more relevant, more often when the Panthers have figured that out long ago, and even the hurricane are starting to figured out as well. DG. Good stuff. As always, what's up with you next week but that's David going early afternoon host.

As we got to the house couple of TGI Friday's shows it may be making a triumphant return back to television wolf will give you the rundown house next
