Speaker 1: All start to what you want to presents. Off the
bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yea yea.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: I gotta come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Yan.
Speaker 3: Why did Bob used the gay boys and he get
uncumfled to his own voice?
Speaker 2: Huh jav sees is an old miss accent of the
gay boys.
Speaker 3: Uh, I don't know, I know, I look, I have
a lot of voices bouncing a out of my head.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's pretty clear to see in here. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3: Take a lap, Ryan Ills, you're born in nineteen ninety eight.
The hell do you know about life?
Speaker 4: That's T Bob's real voice. It just creeps in every
now and then over its radio void like that's how
he actually talks off. He exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: All right, let's wrap up our playoff discussion. We talked
about the two previous games. Now we get into the
Big Boys Aha State in Oregon once again the second
time this year, matching up and kind of fascinating in
that you probably feel significantly different about Ohio State after
what they just did to Tennessee, after how they looked
the previous time out against Michigan. I mean, from an
abject disaster to maybe looking like the best team in
the entire country. This is one of the best quarterback
matchups of the entire playoff, actually the best, right with
Dylan Gabriel, who is by far the best quarterback in
this entire tournament, going against Will Howard, who actually has
been very damn good every game save for Michigan, even
in game of and go look at the box score.
It's an incredibly even box score, Jake. Both quarterbacks thrown
for over three p forty I think, both teams coming
in around like five hundred total yards, both teams rushing.
Speaker 2: The ball very well.
Speaker 3: It was a damn even game in autsin Oregon edges
Ohio State out wins, but now High.
Speaker 2: State as a cancer revenge.
Speaker 3: And it's in a neutral site, it's not in Auntin
And it's hard to beat a good team twice that
it is.
Speaker 2: What's your feeling here.
Speaker 5: Exactly what you just said. It is so hard to
beat any team twice. You've heard me say this a
thousand times in the NFL, you'd play a bad Raiders team,
you'd crush them the first time. The second game was
a dogfight. Yeah, just always is. That's just the way
it kind of plays out. And certainly when these two
teams are as close and evening match as they are,
this one's going to be a very difficult game for
the Oregon Ducks to go out there and do what
they did in the first one. Now, the first one,
Ohio State had chances, but it's going to be like
a chess match of Okay, the game plan that you
had the first time, how much of that.
Speaker 2: Do you use?
Speaker 6: How many new wrinkles? Yeah, do you have?
Speaker 5: Like you can't chase ghosts in this game, even though
it's going to be right in front of you and
very easy to do.
Speaker 2: A High state's actually a favorite in this game. Yeah
minus two and a half now, So.
Speaker 5: Like the one seed against an eight seed is an underdog. Now,
nobody gets their team motivated like a Dan Lanning, I think,
I mean it is something that he does.
Speaker 2: At an elite level.
Speaker 5: He's loving the fact that they're a two and a
half dog to a team they've already beat.
Speaker 2: Yeah this year.
Speaker 3: Well, and like I mean, you were talking about how
we think about the coaches, Dan Lanning people we all
kind of view as being much better than that of
Ryan Day. It's right, great opportunity for Ryan Dad to
start to fight back against that. But yeah, I mean
that that definitely be the feeling covenet.
Speaker 5: I am still surprised that Oregon is an underdog though,
even though I think Ohio State what they did to
Tennessee that was as impressive as what anybody did in
the first round. But Oregon was waiting for a reason.
They were waiting because they won the conference. They went
and beat Ohio State, they did lose any regular season games.
I think Dylan Gabriel is the best quarterback, like you said,
in this playoff. I think that's going to be something
that could potentially play out to where they're victorious because
of it.
Speaker 3: I mean, so I actually agree I give the edge
to Oregon simply because Dylan Gabriel is literally the most
experienced quarterback inint DOUAA history. It's not hyperbole, that is
a numerical fact. But I think why Ohio States favored
Jake Again, you look at the box score, twenty two
first downs for Ohio State to eighteen for Oregon four
to sixty seven total yard State four ninety six Oregon
three twenty through the air to three forty one, one
forty one on the ground at four point three yards
per carry, one fifty five at five yards of carry,
very even where it was not even. Ohio State turned
it over twice and had eight penalties to Oregon's three,
and yet in.
Speaker 2: Austin the game was still that close.
Speaker 3: So I guess maybe people say, well, look, if you
clean up the turner, if you manage to keep that even,
keep the penalties more even than High State wins a
game on the road, now it's neutral.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean maybe maybe that's the angle as to a
hot state being favored. But what about this? This is
kind of like the NBA when one team sweeps the
other team goes to seven. Is Oregon going to be
rested and ready or rusty and not ready?
Speaker 2: It's a very fair question. It's been a long time,
broke three weeks for college kids.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like the old BCS when you playing in
the Natty then remember I mean you finished its CC
Championshire game, you wait till January like seventh or eighth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hated it. It was awful.
Speaker 5: I mean, you go back to like, can't practices miles
of it. I doubt I doubt Landing is read probably
not now full tackle scrimmages, but there is something about
a layoff.
Speaker 2: Guys. I gotta get angery O quick Jamison, Eugene.
Speaker 3: It's autsin stadium, Eene, dummy, don't correct me if you're
completely wrong.
Speaker 2: Sorry. Continue.
Speaker 5: This is gonna be a full four quarter game. It's
gonna come down to the last couple of possessions. It's
gonna be I think the best game that we have
here in the quarterfinals. It's the one that's yeah, I
mean pretty much evenly matched. These two teams had a
classic the first time they played either way, no matter
which way it goes, I think it's gonna be a
close one, and I'm not gonna be surprised with how
it plays out.
Speaker 2: You know, I do love the.
Speaker 5: Which coach is going to be better prepared for the
situation narrative because it's gonna be Ryan Day with all
the pressure after they just beat Tennessee.
Speaker 6: Is it going to be Dan Landing handling having that
week off?
Speaker 5: You know, using you know the fact that they did
beat them, They're still an underdog to the motivation, like,
this game is big, a big heay coaching game. Some
games head coaches, maybe they don't play as much of
a factor this one. I feel like it's gonna be massive.
And I'm sorry, Jamie, that was a little extreme, but whatever.
So are you picking Oregon then because of landing a
dying Grabriel. Yeah, I think I think I'm going to
Oregon slight slight slight here for those reasons as well, even.
Speaker 3: Though that wouldn't give is it odds to my third
I prediction that a hot state wins too, Natty.
Speaker 5: Look, our state's playing as well as anybody if we're
going off the last game, but we also have that
Michigan game as well.
Speaker 2: And Oregon's the number.
Speaker 5: One team in the country, the only undefeated team that
we had this year, and that's with beating two teams
three teams actually that are in the College Football Playoff.
That's crazy. Yeah, teams put some respect in the Ducks names,
like I feel like we don't do that enough. I'm
not talking about we just us in this room talking
about sports media, Like we just keep waiting for Oregon
to fail and they haven't failed yet, and then when
they do, we'll raise our hands.
Speaker 6: They got that one wrong. But until then I'm gonna
go with the Oregon.
Speaker 2: Ducks, Bucks Burst Ducks, and with any lucks will be
treated to a great time, all right. And then the.
Speaker 3: Final playoff game of the second round, the Sugar Bowl
right here in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Great matchup for the city. Guys.
Speaker 3: J will be out there covering it. Media days coming
up on Monday. And that is uh Notre Dame and
U g a uh I mean look to be Frank
Well not really, my name is T Bob, But I think, uh,
I think that Frank cow Kelly.
Speaker 2: Indo name another Frank Famous, Frank H.
Speaker 3: Miller, Frank Miller, writer of sin City Comics, three hundred
Spent Dark Knight.
Speaker 2: That's surprising.
Speaker 3: Frank Miller's pretty massive cultural impact with Frank Sinatra, Frank Thomas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, both of those over, Frank Miller and Frank Good good.
What's Frank name there too? Frank Tom Ye?
Speaker 3: Notre Name Georgia. Look, I think Notre Dame has to
have the advantage here. They're playing so confidently and they're
going into quarterback that's never started before. Now I give
Georgia a chance because Kirby and I know watching against
what Kirby's done against Texas here, like Kirby will stop
what you do best, and so he will put the
game more into ry Leonard's hands and Notre Dame ideally
wanted to be But how in the world is gutter
Stockton going to have success against this Notre Dame defense,
which seems elite at every level.
Speaker 2: I just it's just too it's too.
Speaker 3: Much of a logical leap if we're trying to predict
what is most likely. Like, sure, there's a reality out
there where maybe they tecause surprise, but no, too much.
Speaker 5: If it wasn't for Kirby smart, we'd be all in
on Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, which is a credit to Kirby. It is Look,
he is Kirby and.
Speaker 3: George is favored the first time starting quarterback Notre Dames.
He's playing as well as anyone in the country. And
I think Indiana is better than people think, and Notre
Dame completely dominated them.
Speaker 2: So I like Notre Dame in this matchup.
Speaker 5: Riley Leonard is just the definition of too gritty to
be pretty Like he finds a way and it's never
really pretty.
Speaker 6: But I'll be damned if he doesn't find a way.
Speaker 5: Jeremiah Love is the most undervalued player in his playoff,
regardless of position.
Speaker 2: True, they've got some juice to him. Now.
Speaker 5: They don't have a star receiver, but you had one
kind of emerge in the last game against Indiana.
Speaker 2: Can you continue that?
Speaker 6: You know, Bo Collins has played a lot of football questions.
Speaker 2: They've had in the past. They don't have any stars,
but they.
Speaker 5: So you actually got three running backs that I think
are really really good at Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: But George's gonna try to stop that.
Speaker 5: I don't know that they can stop it enough though,
with what their offense is going to give them scoring.
Speaker 2: Game really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very legitimate NFL guys at every level. And
that's even losing a couple of guys to injury this year.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And and look that's where Marcus Freeman's main side of
the ball is. That's his own expertise.
Speaker 2: Lie him and Al.
Speaker 6: Golden together, that's pretty wouderful.
Speaker 2: Combo.
Speaker 3: Uh you're you're now are you just saying this because
you're boys of Marcus Freeman? Uh?
Speaker 2: You remember tight.
Speaker 5: Still with Kirby too, though, I mean, Kirby hates the
media more than Marcus does. Anybody likes me, but he
hates the media and Stacy Cearles uh.
Speaker 6: Shadow coach and that offensive line shadow.
Speaker 5: So no, I've I've got friends on both staffs, but
I think Notre Dame right now, with how they're currently constructed,
is the.
Speaker 2: Better football team. Uh, you should get that checked out.
What you should? You have staff and then you got
friends of both staffs. I've had staff before. It's not.
Speaker 6: Knee got it from the old indoor at l s
U not good.
Speaker 5: I got it at from the bright side pools high.
Actually would have much rather get it at the indoor
l shoe than the bright side pool.
Speaker 2: Trust me, you said the staff or STD. Uh, it's
something with us. Okay, yeah, I can't, I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't fully remember m saut out those bright side pools.
Nothing made Natty light tall boy go down smoother and
a couple of dead roaches floating belly up in the
water and a fat booty in a bathing suit to
look at you know, just God meant what memories?
Speaker 2: What incredible college memories?
Speaker 5: Okay, you're so like, I mean, if your wife listened
to this show, Who's fat Booty?
Speaker 3: Think I was looking at m What do you mean
you do think she was at the pool with me?
It was just soul, the things she was letting this
guy go to the pool love.
Speaker 2: Sometimes, uh college.
Speaker 5: Bob maybe sometimes had the beaver haircut the swoop.
Speaker 2: Tommy says, this isn't a Brian Kelly not here name
team Freeman knows how to win big games. Now that's
bit interesting because does he. I guess Freeman's real problems
with the smaller games Marshall. But like Freeman previous to
Indiana hadn't had any massive wins, had he? I mean
A and M week one maybe not like crazy?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: And then if you remember last year, people kind of
trold him a little bit for losing to Ohio State.
Remember he had too many men on the field back
to back plays, he gave him two extra downs and
ohiose they won that game.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he actually choked his Yeah that until this year, No,
so massive opportunity for Freeman five begins that again. I think,
I think, Uh, this Notre Dame team reminds me so
much of the House, a team that had that awful
home loss to Virginia Tech and then proved proved to
be such a much better team by year's end, Like
he can say Northern Illinois. But I'll tell you that
I don't really care right now, I just don't think
it's the same team. Ry Leonard is infinitely more confident
and playing better than he was then, And I think
that adversity actually ended up making him stronger because he
went to the depths and had to climb back out.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm taking Notre Dame in a slight one.
Speaker 3: Like seventeen thirteen, Like just a nasty, nasty sugar bowl.
Speaker 2: Don't tip me with a good time.
Speaker 5: I'll be the only person in the press box watching
that and being like, yes, this is football here, glove.
Speaker 4: Last night's Thursday night matchup, so I heard it was
six to three, six to three.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was actually the Mariners in the White Sox,
not the not not the it's the hard.
Speaker 5: Time Seattle's beat in Chicago six to three this year,
is it really?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Mariners did it twice in the White Sox.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Oh my god?
Speaker 2: The how what A Like?
Speaker 5: I love a beautiful rock fight, but that was an
ugly ass rock fight.
Speaker 3: So I watched the first first episode of Squid Game
Season two last night.
Speaker 2: It was very fun, very good.
Speaker 3: But afterwards I was kind of scrolling Twitter and all
I saw was Big Cat apologizing for the game a lot,
so I figured it went pretty badly for Chicago. I
did not know when six to three though.
Speaker 7: That was the halftime score. By the way, too, nobody
scored in the second half.
Speaker 5: I wonder what odds, because, you know, defense, somebody, someone
hit no touchdowns in the second half the whole game,
because that's the second time we've had it this year.
Speaker 2: I think the Rams. God it was a Rams and somebody.
Speaker 5: They also did it this year earlier, and like the
odds were crazy and somebody hit it.
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy. The Chiefs won three games in
eleven days. That's good. Steelers lost, Yeah, three and eleven days.
Speaker 3: Three games in eleven days, Steelers lost all three.
Speaker 2: Take what's the most games you ever played? Eleven day day?
Speaker 5: We did something pretty similar. I think it was nine
or twenty ten. It was probably like three and thirteen
or something like that. It wasn't eleven, but we had
like it was a Monday night or like a Thursday,
I don't remember it was. It was involving a Thursday, nwday.
Speaker 2: How to even work with the Chiefs. Well, it has
to be a Thursday night game. Or did they go Sunday, Wednesday,
Sunday Sunday? They went Sunday, Saturday Wednesday.
Speaker 5: Okay, jeezus, And everybody's like, oh my gosh, Saturday to Wednesday.
It's crazy. Well that's Sunday to Thursday. Yeah, exactly, you
moved the day. Everybody like what, Actually, Thursday football in
the NFL is horrid to get ready for.
Speaker 2: It's terrible.
Speaker 5: If you play, you play that game on Sunday, and
typically on Monday you would come in and watch some
tape and get a little light workout. In Tuesday, you're
completely off, and then Wednesday you gets back started. But
you got to come right back in on Monday. Mondays
like a Thursday, Tuesdays like a Friday. Wednesday's like a
saturd So you get no time off, you can't put
as much in. It's not like, you know, it's not
like college football where the plays are the plays. I mean,
every single week in the NFL, you kind of plays.
You're reinbitting your offense or defense based off the matchup.
And if you're like if you have a Thursday night matchup.
I'm just speaking from an offensive perspective here, and you're
going against like the Ravens or the Steelers or like
the Packers used to be where they've got these dudes
up front that are kind of unique in the fact
that they can play multiple positions and you got to
figure out, Okay, who's down, who's always going to be
the mic when they're walking around, who's and the protection
changes a little bit, and you got like a day
and a.
Speaker 6: Half to prepare for it. Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Those are miserable because then you know it's been I mean,
there's no twenty hour rule in the NFL, So then
you're there like five am till seven pm trying to
figure out your game plan for three straight days.
Speaker 6: And if you're the away team, even worse. I mean
you're on the plane.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're on the plane and like you'll say in
a section like running backs and the coach will come
back there and like you're going through like you're still
preparing on the plane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds awful, all right, when we get back
where to.
Speaker 1: Be off the bench?
Speaker 3: Go to trash Rangers guys trash rangers dot com. Trash
rangers dot com. If you live in living center a
sentient and you see the red cans popping up around
the neighborhood, well guess what you get to make a
choice now, I'm fortunately out all of us in the
ladies in area when it comes to our residential pickup.
Speaker 2: Can make a choice.
Speaker 3: Uh. You know, city contracts are thrust upon us rather unfairly,
I would say, But again, lives to decision, not the case.
So make the same switch today that many of your
neighbors had and experience. Why they are now so much
more pleased with the level of reliability of give a
damn of effort that they now get.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: But if you're a business owner, it's anywhere in the listener,
I don't care where you're at. Anywhere, trash Rangers is

rangers dot com.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to more sports talk. What's some other stuff
mixed in off the bench with Hester and Ti.
Speaker 2: Bob Slander, Rob Thomas here, Rob.
Speaker 5: Santana, I mean Matchbox twenties.
Speaker 2: I had some bangers back in the day.
Speaker 3: I did used to like them. I think Santana.
Speaker 2: Well, obviously.
Speaker 5: The most sul were like Matchbox twenty and what Nickelback.
Speaker 2: And Goo Goo Dolls.
Speaker 5: No, don't get too cool for all that, like right,
I mean I'm talking about like songs that kind of
stand up no matter how old they are. I mean
like Irish By, Googoo Dolls, Bager Yep, True White Balloon.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you it's his Santana guitar. I mean, he's
a star. Here's the same almost wrong, I'm pretty shaw
washed ball Hey.
Speaker 3: Uh So, as we said yesterday, the NFL owns whatever
it was, you know, and it's crazy because Lebron said
watch out NFL, you know, get out of the NFL.
The NBA is still our day or Chris Christmas still
the NBA's day, of paraphrasing and in a weird way,
And I said it yesterday. It's it's like the numbers
would be crazy, the gap would be huge. But it's
not really a condemnation of the NBA as much as
is just the NFL owns whatever they want. But the
NBA had a great day. The NBA averaged five million
a game. The Lakers Warriors game had a seven million
average eight million peak. That's the highest rated regular season
game in.
Speaker 2: A few years.
Speaker 5: They benefited from the Netflix portion of the NFL too, Probably.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe so, maybe so.
Speaker 3: But even with two deeply unexciting games, the NFL dominated.
The Ravens beat the Texans thirty one to two and
averaged twenty four million viewers. The Chiefs feed the Steelers
twenty nine to ten and average twenty four million viewers.
Speaker 5: So you could take the five whatever million for the NBA, yeah,
for every game, and still wouldn't get to the NFL's numbers.
Speaker 2: What you're saying, yeah, one game, Yeah, one game. I
think it's our day, Lebron.
Speaker 3: And what's gonna be really fascinating to me is on Tuesday,
we'll get the global numbers.
Speaker 2: And that's what I know. Said, you have global subscribers.
Speaker 3: I wonder how many Europeans maybe people in India Asia
were just.
Speaker 2: Like, huh, what is this? Like, let's let's see what's
going on here.
Speaker 5: I know a lot of Premier League players were taking
pictures of them watching the NFL launching football on Netflix.
Speaker 2: Right for Boxing Day tomorrow.
Speaker 7: Netflix is early like early release on the numbers was
two hundred countries tuned in.
Speaker 2: Gesh, that's crazy, So let's see how high it takes
the number.
Speaker 3: So that makes those things the second and third largest
streamed events on Netflix.
Speaker 2: Know what's first?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately, you can all call Jake Paul an idiot.
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson Jake Havnat had an average
of sixty million viewers sixty five peak worldwide, thirty eight
million concurrent in the US alone. Do you understand that
these shows on Fox and CNN do like fifty thousand,
like one hundred thousand, one fifty two hundred and those
are shows that have a lot of money vesitor to
be and and and Jake Paul did thirty eight million
concurrent in the US alone?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? I mean I tuned in.
Speaker 5: I was watching in Janesville, Florida, in a Best Western hotel,
getting ready to lose.
Speaker 2: To the Gators five star hotel. While I don't, but.
Speaker 4: Like to your point to Bob, like people can control this.
Everybody that complains and says, why does Jake Paul do this?
Why does he have a real fight? You keep tuning in,
he keeps making money, He's going to keep right on.
I'm doing it like it's it's kind of our fault.
Speaker 2: It is our fault, you get.
Speaker 3: It's the same thing as politics we complained about want
of people to be less extreme, more down in the
middle than you punish him when they are, you get
what you fucking deserve.
Speaker 2: Now what we don't deserve.
Speaker 3: Is what the New Orleans Pelicans are doing to us.
Who exactly are they even still an NBA team?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost last night, so they had to be
an NBA team.
Speaker 6: Where they played they lost the Rocket six.
Speaker 3: Well, so this is like a Voltaire I think, therefore
I am I play.
Speaker 2: Therefore I am right.
Speaker 3: You lose to the Rockets twenty twenty eight, one eleven,
crowds booing your god awful, your five or twenties. You've
lost eight consecutive, You've lost seventeen of the past eighteen.
To start the game last night, you missed your first
ten threes, and you have the Grizzlies coming to town
where who remained the ultimate insult to injury because John
Morant goes behind. Zian Williamson ends up being a legitimate
superstar even with all the trouble that he's had, and
the Grizzlies just scored one to fifty five, which is
the biggest number that anybody's put up in the NBA
this year. It's it is really sad and unbelievable how
bad your New Orleans Pelicans have become.
Speaker 5: And it's look, it's not like they didn't have some
of the Jimmies and Joe's in this game last night.
I mean, Herb's back, Murray's back, we had Trey Murphy,
CJ's in the lineup. You had no brainon Ingram and
no Zion. We know that in Zion, like.
Speaker 2: Can you? I mean, you just got to move on.
Now we're done. We're done, We're done. We stopped considering
him a part of this team. Yeah, we.
Speaker 5: Made Yeah, we made that announcement with the most recent injury,
and we were nice about it. Then we saw the
reports that you know, I'm still in true if these
are true, or not that he was mad. He's mad
as it should not get him to New York if
it is true, f M. If it's not, I can
remain kind of pity. I can pity.
Speaker 2: This isn't even like an attack towards him.
Speaker 5: Like there's certainly some stuff that that I would like
to ask him, as far as his health and maybe
the timetables and why he's not out there and all.
Certainly that, but you just need to move on for
the psyche of your franchise. Yeah, you're being held hostive.
You are a hostile guy who doesn't want to play. Yeah,
it doesn't want to You've got a ton of money
invested in him, like at this point, Like you always
want the most return at this point. So you know,
when you watch a three point contest and they have
the racks of basketballs lined up, Yeah, go trading for
all six of those racks right now. You get some
value at least maybe there's five, I don't know. I mean,
the one thing like that, you're not gonna get anything.
Speaker 2: So just just move on the one thing that the
Pelicans did do that's not bad is his contract is
not bad because it had a bunch of clauses about injury,
and so I don't think it's like fully guaranteed or
anything anymore.
Speaker 3: So you're not tied up in that regard, but whatever.
Uh So, Rod Walker, Rod Walker Nola right for Times
of Unit Navocate does a great job. But just to
just to point out how depressing New Orleans sports have
been this fall. Here, we're all all the different losing
streaks by the Saints of the Pelicans this season. The
Saints lost two games in a row, the Pelicans lost
three games in a row. The Pelicans lost six games
in a row. The Saints lost seven games in a row.
The Pelicans are currently on an eight game losing streak,
only bested by a previous nine.
Speaker 2: Game losing streak. Guys, that's in a couple of months.
It's insane.
Speaker 3: It's really bad in the five O four right now.
Both of ownership's franchises looking like disasters. All Right, when
we get back, let's talk a little New Orleans Saints
and we got our Tayta Invels Story of the Day day.
It's probably gonna be both you coming up next here
on OTV. Off the bench, go to Gordon mccurtay Andrew Attorneys,
get Gordon, Get it Done. That's the website. Kick Gordon
dot com. We can go fill out a console and
they'll get in touch with the immediately. You can see
past results from customers, and you can see all the
cases that they handle. Baby, you just call two to
five eighty eight eighty eight when you get an accident
and you get somebody who's gonna stand up to the
insurance companies that never want to do what they're supposed

Speaker 2: It was beautiful.
Speaker 1: Back to sports talk maybe off the bench?
Speaker 3: Uh, well had and y'all we'll go back to OTB
and let's talk about the Saints real quick as Uh,
oh my god, you want to talk about true NFL
sicko stuff. I know there's a lot of college football
ciccos out there, and y'all pride yourselves on watching the
games that nobody gives a damn about. Uh, you would
be hard pressed to find a college game worse than
the NFL game they're gonna serve up to you Sunday
in the Caesar Superdome, and that.
Speaker 2: Is Saints Raiders. What not?
Speaker 3: Even Saints Raiders with the slightly interesting narrative of Derek
Carr going.
Speaker 2: To get this old team because Derek Car's not playing.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the worst You talked six to
three last night on Thursday night.
Speaker 2: Football was bad.
Speaker 3: Wake up, you're gonna watch Spencer Ratler and who Aiden O'Connell.
Who's Raiders quarterback at this point? Ugh, Darren Rizzy and
Antonio Pierce. It ain't good, boss, It ain't good. There
ain't nothing nice about this Sunday.
Speaker 2: In the Dome. You think, are you gonna be full? No? Way?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't know. Yes, it still looked
pretty good on TV.
Speaker 4: I don't know how the supernume is not busting at
the seems to see the running back matchup between a
Mira Abdullah and Kendre Miller.
Speaker 2: Okay, hell yeah, Nebraska.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nebraska of Nebraska fame a Mire Abdullah.
Speaker 3: So you got Cora out, you got Kamara out, you
got McCoy out, Lucas Patrick out. Now, granted they didn't
practice on Wednesday, which normally means that it's gonna be
tougher than to play Chris A. Love did a full practice.
I don't know why the hell you would play him.
I don't think you do, and I think you risk
his health. I think you have longer conversations with the
offseas about what the future of his career looks like.
You had Juwan Johnson, Nathan Shephard, Marcus Valdezcanlan Peyton Turner
as limited participant.
Speaker 9: Way, good god, what an abject disaster, just absolutely disgusting stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, do we just run back the Kendre Miller conversation?
You know this guy.
Speaker 3: The on thing I'm looking for is Kendre Miller got
a break up game nov Chimaracter rap pigment.
Speaker 2: Does Little Stump get the hell out of here.
Speaker 3: There's nothing to be excited about, nothing to celebrate, nothing
to be interested in. It's a freaking disaster, and frankly,
it's hard not to blame Mickey Loomis. All roads lead
back to the roster or the roster building the decisions
may was Dennis Allen bad, absolutely, but where does that
also fall at the feet up Mickey any other situations?
Speaker 2: But he ain't now, so I don't know.
Speaker 3: Man Like the Saints Repelicans are disasters, both one and
the same, and it is unbelievably depressing for a state
that doesn't have much. But this is what we do
have is sports and two pro teams, and they both
are They're not just bad, they're well. I'm sorry, I
won't I won't grant the Saints rank of embarrassment because
I think they do play hard, even if last game
was embarrassing. The Pelicans are an absolute embarrassment. But both
are just really awful right now, and it's a bad field.
Speaker 4: We just needed Allen for one more year. He was
about to become Tom Landry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 3: Hey, Mickey, stick with your plan, you coward, right, Well,
I mean was gonna be Belichick soon?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, check, he was getting there. Disgusting. Spit on
the ground.
Speaker 3: When I think about these franchises right now, I have
nothing to say in the game. Maybe Spencer Rattler will
do something exciting and you'll feel good about him. Make
no mistake, guys. If you were someone who complained about
this new generation of Saints bands being soft because all
they knew was winning in great offense, make no mistake.
If you think people hopped on the bandwagon, make no mistake.
The culling is coming. We're gonna see who really loves
the Saints because they love the Saints. Because this is
dark on Sunday.
Speaker 5: Ugh, you old Derek Carr Bowl without Derek Carr, the
old fossor Moro Bowl.
Speaker 2: Oh with Fos. There we go. Jake found the one storyline. Ratulations,
good job, proud of you anyway. Yeah, it's bad, it's bad.
Go to Pinnacle, Oh sir.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, the worst part about it,
I do think, is that you can't see the improvement
in sight because you just don't believe it's going to happen.
To your point about Mickey Loomis, like you just don't
think it's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the same guy that got you here, it's still
gonna be.
Speaker 5: I mean, like we said, I mean, everybody says it.
He's basically the owner. Yeah, ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 3: Go to Pinnacle Exterior Construction PEC built dot com, PEC
built dot com for all your outdoor construction needs you
and make the backyard of your dreams a reality. Well
that's your Pinnacle comes in. Maybe it's clearly custom pool,
maybe it's a spec pool. Maybe it's a bigger, better fence.
Maybe it's bull heads, maybe it's purgolosus. Maybe it's an
outdoor living here, outdoor kitchen. Maybe it's maybe to putdegreate
all of this and more pinnacles your answer, Okay, And
really it's the artisanship, the execution of the design, all
the way from design through cleanup. It's just the next
level man. So we like to say that here at Pinnacle,
we build the spaces, You build the memories, and that's
what this is all about. Okay, you make that backyard
the home of your dreams. All of a sudden, you, your friends,
your family, everybody wants to be there. No longer are
your teen kids going over to Jerry's house.
Speaker 2: Because he is a sick pool.
Speaker 3: Now thankfully they're not allowed over at Taylor's house anymore.
That I mean, we all know it's fine though, But
now they're gonna be at your house because you have
a sick backyard kitchen to watch the games and have
some fun and maybe go swift Pinnacle Makes to your
construction PEC built dot com, pec built dot com. All right,
it's time for a TATA NFL Story of the Day.
Speaker 2: Day.
Speaker 1: It's time for Tata's NFL Story of the Day day.
You're daily dose NFL newes from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 4: T Pop thinks I'm gonna talk about Cedee Lamb here, Yeah,
and he is absolutely incorrect. I'm not talking about Cede Lamb,
who cares a Cowboys suck with it without him, it
doesn't really matter. Teddy Bridgewater is going back to the NFL.
He won a ring as a high school head coach.
He's trying to get one as a player. Now he's
going to the Detroit Lions to back up Jared Goff,
the current backup right now, Hindon Hooker, who has not
played much in his NFL career. Teddy Bridgewater, thirty two
years old, is earlier this month. Of course, Miami Northwestern
won the state titles his first.
Speaker 2: Year as the coach.
Speaker 4: It was actually his alma mater, its where he went
to high school. But uh yeah, Teddy Bridgewater coming in,
I'm gonna try to be the primary backup for Jared Goff.
Speaker 2: See if you can't help him make a run, that's
This is a great move.
Speaker 3: It's a great move, great insurance play by the Lions here,
because if you have to go to Hinton Hooker, the
season is blown up.
Speaker 2: Uh. With Teddy, this gives you like a Nick Foles
esque chance.
Speaker 3: Uh what shocks me, Jake, is do you know Teddy
Bridgewater's age.
Speaker 6: I would guess he's thirty four, thirty two.
Speaker 3: He feels so old he's been around so long, but
like he's still young, thirty two years old. I love
the story of him going to coach high school winning
the state championship his first year. Obviously, Teddy one of
the more beloved recent New Orleans Saints, and uh yeah, man,
I think it would be very cool if he was to.
Speaker 2: Find his way to Super Bowl now for the Lions.
Speaker 3: Hopefully he doesn't have to play a role, right as
that means you know, the worst has happened. But uh,
good on Teddy Man, good on, Teddy, Go go go, go,
go chase that ring. And then I guess, I mean,
you know, that's crazy part about quarterbacks is you kind
of don't have to be in the premier physical shape
of the other positions. So you go do this, you
finish out of the playoffs, and then what you just
go back to coaching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he said this was always the plan.
Speaker 4: He said when he signed on the high school he said, look,
you know, if we win a state title, I want
to go try to join a team that's in playoff.
Hont possibly come back in February. But if he sticks
around in the league and gets a contract elsewhere, then
the high school team will go from there. But you
were talking about the injuries with the Lions. They have
twenty one players on injured reserve, and that's what Campbell said.
He said, look, we need to bring in a veteran
that we have comfort in case something happens to golf,
because twenty one players.
Speaker 5: On I Hinton Hooker would be their backup, right and
if you play hint and you're done, well.
Speaker 4: He's young and he is injury history as well, So.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Teddy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can go out there, coaches high schools to
a state championship, get a couple of game checks there with.
Speaker 2: The Lions, maybe win a ring. Yeah, it's amazing. Oh played,
all right. When we get back, let's wrap up today's
show with a little Ask the Bench at Tears for
Fears here on Oh two.
Speaker 1: B top the bench, welcome in to the best morning
sports this show around Off the Bench with Ester and
t Bob.

I don't know.
Speaker 3: I've never had it no, be honest. Pop culture says no.
But then why do people send it because it keeps well?
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't think it's just like tradition. I mean,
look at the end of the day, I liked it.
Speaker 3: Okay, ask the bench what ESPN talking head cries the
most if Texas and Georgia lose. I mean, the whole
SEC network would being a beat Peter Burns. Yeah, I
would say pb income need be in a bad spot.
Speaker 5: It'd be PV for sure. Yeah, it'd be be p
be without question. Actually I think.
Speaker 4: Uh on this station, Unt Palmer, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, any think about it, like if they if those
teams lose, like typically I see the same people because
I'm doing Sugar Cotton Championship which is Peach Bowl and
like typical, like it's me Doring and pbah.
Speaker 6: If they lose, they won't be there, which is kind
of weird thing about.
Speaker 3: Ask the bench, does Tony Gibson lead Marshall to back
to back some bell championships in a playoff Berth next year?
Speaker 5: That's no, it's negative, Ask the bench, it'll be it'll
be okay.
Speaker 3: Do you know any do you have any other player?
They got the same head coach fired from two different
teams besides Carr. That is a little trivia nuggets the bench.
Speaker 2: Is Brian Kelly overpaid?
Speaker 3: Actually no, if we look at contracts, he's not that
highly paid.
Speaker 2: Has he fallen out the top ten?
Speaker 3: He's hovering now he's hovering and maybe okay, maybe slightly
overpaid based on results, but not as overpaid as you
actually think. As the bench, there's too much sports talk today.
Did y'all get a stern talking to for mailing it
in yesterday?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 6: Well no, but tell us what we can talk about.
Speaker 3: That is one thing I love about Guarantee is there's
never been any content. The close thing that gets that
is due to trying to generate YouTube algorithm pleasure. We
do like have to do like a Saint segment eld
than anybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's not a big deal because like we
should do that stuff anyway.
Speaker 5: Eli Holstein coming back to Pitt. Yeah, that came out
about twenty five minutes ago.
Speaker 2: Good for local guy.
Speaker 5: Looking player had a good year when he was healthy,
asked the bench, Why is scum better than dai z H?
Speaker 2: I don't know what scum is. I never played day

Speaker 3: Uh did Miles fight back after you hit him?
Speaker 2: Yeah? He kicked me in the nuts. It's crazy, uh
As the bench.
Speaker 3: Would you rather be Aaron Rodgers head coach or Derek
Carr's Derek Carr?
Speaker 4: Only because of this, the talking heads on the national
media would put entirely unrealistic expectations on EF. You coached
Rogers and you're gonna get similar results either way.
Speaker 2: Pretty good point by t.
Speaker 3: As the bench. You're going to see it's pretty good. Yes,
uh I am going to see.
