Speaker 1: What's happening y'all?
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Go TV Thursday, March thirteen, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: How about it. We're still a live baby.
Speaker 2: Let's go another day, another show. T Bob, Jake, Alandra
and Tate hanging out today. Day weekend is almost here.
Saint Patti's weekend is almost here. Let's go now. The
parade's got moved to Sunday. Am I correct in saying that.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Why has this killed your parade ability because of some
sort of little league situation?
Speaker 3: No, so our baseball team took this weekend off because
of the Saint Patrick's Day Parade. Okay, all right, So
I have my youth football camp every year in Treport.
Speaker 1: Well, I said, instead of a Saturday.
Speaker 3: Which we've always done, let's move it to Sunday because
I really want to go with the family to the
Saint Patrick's Day Parade. We're off of baseball. I'm gonna
move my football camp, which is year seventeen. Yeah, and
when we moved to Sunday, He's like, hey, you're here Pere.
You get moved to Sunday. I'll be in Treuthport.
Speaker 2: Well, it's time to say FM kids and let them
treatport kids.
Speaker 1: Just deal with it themselves.
Speaker 2: Then go, Jacob Hester doesn't have to be at the
Jacob Hester football camp. You know, it could just be
an eponymous camp.
Speaker 3: Have my older brother Adam there and say I said
a Hester or not.
Speaker 2: Jacob exactly exactly. Okay, Well that sucks, Yeah, that sucks.
I was just trying to do more of a pissa
and let everybody know that, like it got moved to Sunday.
In case you haven't heard, I was not trying to.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, everybody's gonna have fun. I'll just won't
be here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So pray got moved to Sunday though, guys. So
if you are celebrating there you go, Uh, Eladra, how
are you doing this morning?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be able to parade now either, now
that it got moved to Sunday.
Speaker 1: It came off to a rip roaring start.
Speaker 2: Uh, Taylor, do you do you want to pile on
about how your weekend has also suffered because of these
schedule change due to inclement weather.
Speaker 5: No, it actually uh works out in my favor. I
was supposed to do a piscol baseball game at like
three in the afternoon. They moved that bad boy to
like nine thirty in the morning. I'll be out of
there by like eleven.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a good that's a big win. Eleven, that's
a big win. Eleven. You better hope you don't hit
extra innings, you know, I mean an hour and a half.
Speaker 2: I hope for eighteen game quick. High school baseball goes
that quick. Every time you talk about calling it a
piscol game, I always assume that you're there for like.
Speaker 1: Three hour, three four hours.
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess with with our little pregame post game,
it's probably.
Speaker 1: Two okay, Okay, I thought, yeah, if.
Speaker 5: It goes better, if it goes to normal seven innings,
probably in and out two hours.
Speaker 3: I do a pre and post game.
Speaker 5: I mean literally five minutes, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, who's your who's the with you.
Speaker 3: Play?
Speaker 1: I do color commentating, Okay, So Jason is the play
by play?
Speaker 5: Where can we listen varsity sports?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Varsity sports? Uh no, but like something people out there
may want to listen.
Speaker 5: I'm not a I'm not a serious enough person as
you may know, to do play by play.
Speaker 2: So I just I don't know varsity sports now exactly
answers the question like what is that?
Speaker 1: Like, where do I find varsity sports? Now? Do I
just Google varsity sports? Now?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can stream it. It has an app everything.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, okay. Oh, so this is like something
that uh multiple high schools and everything throughout the country.
Speaker 5: So it's high school statewide, okay. And then they also
do like south Land so like Nickels Southeastern.
Speaker 1: That's cool varsity sports now.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, speaking of the South and shout out to
will Wade and uh Magnice as they've been in the
Southern Conference tournaments like a year in a row.
Speaker 1: They're going to the tournament second year in a row.
And well we.
Speaker 2: Can get into kind of what's going on with LSU.
You know really, I just it's the only thing I
want to talk about. Is a halftime score tweet. It
was a Hall of Fame halftime score tweet where it's
a picture of I can't remember I it's LSU laying
it in, which it makes it funnier if it's Missippi State.
Speaker 1: But it's a picture.
Speaker 2: It's just like a picture of the game, you know,
an action shot, and then as a score tays forty
four to twenty four halftime and the tweet says work
to do. I mean, again, we credit all the social
media managers for not being cowards and doing their job
and putting these feets out there because you have to.
Speaker 1: But work to do.
Speaker 2: Man, you are, you are that is doing a lot
of heavy lifting.
Speaker 1: But I love it.
Speaker 2: It's a sinc It's honest. Yeah, it's hard to do.
It's maybe not representative of the amount of work to do.
But yeah, they did not end up doing work. What
was the final score again, men's basketball?
Speaker 5: Yeah, ninety one sixty two I think sure.
Speaker 2: Okay, so they lost first up by twenties. I mean
they all lost a second half by nine, So they
did they did some of the work. They didn't do
as much of the work potentially as they could have,
but they did some of it. Used Yeah, yeah, it
was disribly fantastic.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know the SEC is going to have
like twelve or thirteen teams make it into the NCAA Tournament,
so it's a very tough league. I do get all that.
But still last year they were five hundred conference play,
and then this year they had some nice wins. You know, well,
we conference and we thought they were going to be
better when some of the teams they beat that were
good last year they ended up being as good as
we thought.
Speaker 1: But it gave you more hope.
Speaker 3: And you're like, okay, well you so maybe if they
can replicate the same thing and finish around five hundred
in conference play, because if they would have, they would
have been in the tournament.
Speaker 2: So it is interesting because on one hand, we could
talk about how, yeah, look like you said, it's gonna
be twelve to thirteen teams.
Speaker 1: To make the tournament.
Speaker 2: So, like, you know, struggling in this league is understandable.
It's a very hard league. But when you look around
and you look at LSU, they are up there with
anybody else in the league in terms of consistent success
across every single sport. So the expectation and in basketball
is probably the least, but the expectation is I don't
think you have to be great. But it's still pretty
wild that you're one of the what kind of two
teams on the outside looking in and all of this stuff, Like,
it is pretty wild that out of your sixteen you're
fifteen peers that you would be in the the what
is that like six or seven percent?
Speaker 1: Of of of of.
Speaker 2: Of of teams that just weren't even relevant at any
point in the year.
Speaker 1: But again it's it's a disaster situation. No no, and
I I mean no nil.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal they've stuck with in Man, which I
understand I think is correct. They say they're.
Speaker 2: Going to divert more NIL resources to it, which I
find You know, I think that's good luck. But if
they do increase the resources and it's still not working, well,
then then then you then you have a problem. Right now,
I don't come down too hard, because yeah, it feels
like you were kind of playing with an uneven a
bit of an uneven playing field, maybe in comparison to
some of the investment from these other schools. And then
again Missoos the ultimate example of this, right, I mean, Jake,
you no better.
Speaker 3: Mean what were they last year? They didn't win a
single game. They were literally like O in eighteen, right, Yeah,
they did not win a single game, and they're awesome.
And now they're going to probably get a four or
five seed in the NA tournament.
Speaker 2: So it can happen quick. You can have it quick.
Maybe next year, maybe next year.
Speaker 1: But look, there's still a lot of good.
Speaker 2: Okay, you got gymnastics team top two, closing in on
another national championship run. Here, you have a softball team
that is top five in the country, absolutely dominating with
a freshman phenom on the mound who's out of here
throwing perfect games and no hitters. You have a baseball
team that is number one in the country right now on.
Speaker 1: The cusp of opening up SEC play.
Speaker 2: And you have a women's basketball team that for the
fourth year in a row, third year, third year in
a row, we'll be hosting the first two rounds of
the NCAA tournament. So you know, if if it's like
that's the price, if men's basketball is the price that
has to be paid for all the other success that
Tiger fans are enjoyed, I don't hate that trade off.
I'm kind I'm kind of fine with that because there
is a lot of good to cheer on and support
and have fun with outside of that team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna argue with you because
you're You're right, it's only that one team right now,
and men's basketball is, obviously, you know, a very popular
sport across the country outside of football. It's like the
second most revenue bringing in sport that you have, but
you're good in everything else.
Speaker 1: Not just good.
Speaker 3: I mean you're your top ten and a lot of
other sports top fifteen, and so it's really the one.
And you know, you had some issues. You you went
and got a new coach. You kind of played it
safe because of the situation that was surrounding your basketball program,
and this is kind of the results that you get.
Speaker 2: It is crazy, though I know that at the time
it made sense when Scott Wordard wanted to start fresh,
get rid of Will Wade. The football program was being
threatened because of what the basketball program had alleged to
have done. But damn you a good one getaway, you know,
regardless of whether it happened. Like, I'm not gonna rule
here on whether it should have happened or not, because
at the time I think I was like, I see
why you have to do this, But now it's kind
of like, well did you guys?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: But regardless, what is objectively.
Speaker 1: True is you had a great one, great one and
you let him get away.
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be very interesting to see who ends
up taking that next shot on him. I mean, basketball
is a sport littered with great head coaches who maybe
have had blemishes in their past and then still gone
on to do great things.
Speaker 1: Patino.
Speaker 2: Now, I know cal Parstock is in high night now
and I don't know if it ever gets high again.
But he's someone who had final fours vacated and still
made other final fours, won national championships after that.
Speaker 1: Like this, this is just part for the course of basketball,
so we'll see. I would definitely pay attention to North
Carolina State. Really, that's smokers connect.
Speaker 3: That is just me kind of connecting the dots where
he's been, where he's from, where he grew up, the area.
That being a basketball program that just made it to
the Final four a year ago, but they fired their
coach after this regular season. It's a big time basketball program.
They care a lot about basketball. That one, to me
would make sense for Will Wade.
Speaker 1: Does make a lot of sense. Uh, we'll see.
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry if you're if you're am Knees fan listening,
you're like, what the hell, why are you doing this? Like,
I you're right, I apologize. It's I kind of actually
stumbled into it. It was not my intent. But just live
in the present and be very happy for every single
game in which you have coach Wade there because it's
a fun run.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a fun run for sure. All right.
Speaker 2: Uh, when we get back here on O t B.
And remember, guys, if you want to get involved in
the show, wait laundry.
Speaker 1: Do you want to say? Is I'm gonna tell you
moving mic over.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say, that's just the reality, Like
somebody's gonna oh if you're yeah, if you're a McNeese fan, sorry,
but that's just what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: You know, It's okay, I mean, be happy that it happened.
Don't cry because it's over.
Speaker 1: Smile because it happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: I still smile because it happened all the time.
Speaker 1: Me too, But I miss.

break and we have a three minute break, and I'll
be damned if he didn't eat up two minutes trying
to establish.
Speaker 1: Who he was talking to.
Speaker 2: I mean, not even did it even get to the
meat of the story till the R and B was
creaking up again.
Speaker 1: Unbelieved? Was it in?
Speaker 5: Was it a little shaky?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: I was interrupted twice, was interrupted twice, but we got
through it.
Speaker 3: I will say Taylor does do really well with getting interrupted. Yeah,
actually we all we all kind of funny.
Speaker 5: My family at the dinner table. Uh, my family at
the dinner table, like any holiday gathering.
Speaker 2: What everybody just interrupted each other? Dude, A big family
generally should be what are you gonna do? Sit on
your hands, and everybody's gonna wait to talk.
Speaker 5: Only like five of us.
Speaker 2: I think that's why I'm so bad at interrupting.
Speaker 1: You should see.
Speaker 2: The shenanigans and the bits that my two older sisters
used to do. Dude, you had to be you had
to try to be really funny and entertaining to get
a word in edgewise around the a bear table back
the day he started throwing his hat in the ring.
Speaker 5: If you say something funny like, they'll let you talk again,
like that type of thing. Yeah, you got you gotta,
you gotta earn your uh.
Speaker 2: It's also why I eat so fast, you know, big
family food at the table.
Speaker 3: I mean, get down on it. I get judged all
the time for how fast I eat. I'm like, look,
it is what it is, man.
Speaker 2: The uh like breakfast meat, especially because my mom would
never make like enough enough breakfast meat to really just
like eat a super unhealthy amount, right, So if you
wanted more than like two pieces of bacon, you had
to you have to be quick with it.
Speaker 3: We got mad Max out here for the bacon.
Speaker 1: I mean, bro, come on, how bad do you want it.
Speaker 3: What are you willing to give up to get it?
Speaker 1: Exactly?
Speaker 2: I uh, that's why I I, you know, rest in peace.
I love my grandfather so much. One of the many
reasons my namesake Pabi Jos favorite because when I would
go stay with him for breakfast, sometimes he would feed
me just a pound of bacon. Yeah, it's a straight
pound of bacon, Like what a treat you know? Again,
like I said normally at the breakfast table, I was
because I love breakfast meat. I love all of it.
Speaker 1: I love sausage patties, sausage links, full of cheriso.
Speaker 3: All of it.
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily love Canadian ham, you know, Canadian bacon,
but I'll do it.
Speaker 1: Hell.
Speaker 2: I like cutting the hot dog, frying it up and
pretending like it's breakfast meat, like Ali Ali breakfast me
to a million different ways, but it was always I
was always left wanting more.
Speaker 1: When my mother would cook it, and then my grandpa would.
Speaker 2: Just just a freaking pile of pig right in front
of me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: My grandmother used to put a little bit of toast
on butter.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. It was basically a slab of butter with
a little dab of toes well.
Speaker 1: Because they didn't.
Speaker 2: You know, it was a different time, right, Like when
my grandpa was going to work back in the day.
Apparently he told me a very funny story where my
grandma would just baking a cake every day, just like
a cake for lunch friends, like a treat. Just have
a straight up cake every single day. Hey, celebrating life exactly.
You know Civil engineer were coming up things are things
are going well living that you know that that Americana
that like American dream. And like when he used to
make grits, same deal, just multiple sticks.
Speaker 1: Of butter, Yeah, sticks sticks of butter, bowled eggs. Mmm.
Speaker 2: He also used to make a spam spaghetti that was
absolutely fire. And then he taught me about the ultimate
carbohydrate hack where you take that spam spaghetti and you
wrap it up in a piece of white bread and
you got yourself a little spam spaghett Sammy got jpizzl.
It's a funny joke. If it was later, I would
read it out loud, but I don't want it. I
actually thought about it. So what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Carpool situation going on.
Speaker 2: So then let's talk about some about a NFL free agency.
Speaker 1: What music was that I was.
Speaker 2: I actually stumbled into round ball Rock, so I bailed.
I meant to do like an NFL song, but I
was going, but that's not right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's still great song. You want to talk about
what NFL be like? No, that's college. You're gonna talk
about putting your emotion John Tesh, I believe, Yeah, I
think I think so. Right. The NBA song it was John.
What are we talking about, right something?
Speaker 1: Tesh?
Speaker 3: It was John.
Speaker 2: But we've all seen the video of him playing round
Ball Rock live right, absolutely electric.
Speaker 1: You don't talk about putting your heart and soul into it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The spam scghetti was just spaghetti would spam as the meat.
Speaker 4: Set of ground beef, spam and macaroni.
Speaker 1: I've never had it good.
Speaker 5: It sounds good.
Speaker 2: I don't mean I need to. I need to probably
explore more spam again. I haven't had spam in years.
And like I see, I see, you know, like everybody
else in the world, I look at Instagram food stuff
say I'm going to do it.
Speaker 1: Never do it. Posis some really good looking spam stuff. Yeah.
I can send a recipe real quick, I mean quick,
I'm going to make it. We'll see probably not. But
I finally made one the other night. I was very
proud of myself.
Speaker 3: Was good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great, came out pretty anyway.
Speaker 2: The New Orleans Saints off season continues and started with that,
oh yeah, let's go ahead and get this show started.
Tucker Labor's having rides your locable, local, relocable, reliable, local
staffing solutions for warehouse, construction and manufacturing positions. So whether
you need help with temporary labor or long term hires,
have got you covered with skilled, dependable workers. And look,
we're not just looking at resumes and sending people off
that we don't know.
Speaker 1: No, No, there's in person.
Speaker 2: Onboarding process, a couple of coffees every single day, five am,
interviewing in person and then dispatch it okay, quality good
Tiger Labor and Stephan ooh spam and some hash Browns
tell you all right. So the New Orleans Saints off
season continues. One big piece of news that has happened,
or maybe not big.
Speaker 1: But a piece of news.
Speaker 2: Cam Jordan officially coming back, going to be his fifteenth
season with the Saints, twelve and a half million dollar
base salary. There will probably be some level of work
on that, But I'll say this. I look, I'm not
gonna sit here pretend like Cam Jordan is still like,
you know, all Pro, all star whatever.
Speaker 1: This is like some awesome signing.
Speaker 2: But I love Cam Jordan from a fan standpoint so
deeply that first off, I'm very excited that he's back,
and secondly, like, you're not gonna catch me telling him
to leave. There's there's a bit too much of that
in the whot at nation. The Saints are not better
without Cam Jordan, and the money that he has costing
you is not going to be better spent anywhere else
in this offseason. And sometimes you gotta honor the legends.
So as long as Cam wants to keep grinding, keep playing,
I'm down for Cam to do so, because he is
someone who has consistently always taken less money for the
home team, but everybody claims they want so you better
honor that man for it. He never maximized his value
like he could have.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: I mean also, like you know who he is in
the city, in the locker room and like all those things,
and so I understand the value on the field has
gone down. I mean, who wouldn't He's in his what
fifteenth year, Like that's going to happen. But just like
we talked about the other Day team with Derek Carr
and he wasn't anywhere to be seen during the Super Bowl,
Cam Jordan was in that thing every.
Speaker 1: Day, every day.
Speaker 3: He was in the convention Center every day, spreading love,
spreading his love of the city of New Orleans. And so, yeah,
you get him at this price. You're also going to
need versatile defensive lineman. We've already talked about that with
Brandon Staley. You got players that are gonna be playing
multiple positions. So Cam's gonna kick inside, kick outside of
play you know, a five obviously probably most of the
time if Brandon Staley stays in that three four, but
also on third downs when he goes to a four down, like,
he can still kick back outside. So he's gonna be
versatile for Brandon Staley. He's great for the city, he's
great for the locker room. And if you can get
him at a discount, I'm like you, why would you
not want to keep him around?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're probably gonna do something about the twelve five.
I don't think it's gonna play that number anyway. Uh,
Kirsell Andrews says, Cam's like my saint's uncle who'll always
love exactly. Daniels says, Cam Jordan still answers my Instagram
dms love him for that.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: Nookie says half this team is just nostalgia spots. I
mean I disagree with that. Where's the other nostalgia spot?
Like who do you actually care about? You could say
Alvin Kamara, but I thought he was really good last year,
like like when the team was healthy and he and
like they were like, he was great. Like I think
Camara's still got some juice left, especially if you pair
him with a younger guy to take a bit of
the load off. So no, I disagree with that. Like
what you're gonna say to Mario Davis, but sure it
wasn't up and down year, but to Mario, finished strong,
he's still really really good.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 2: I'll guess maybe like people say, like Tyrant or something,
but again that's from a price to production standpoint, that's still.
Speaker 1: You also got.
Speaker 3: You also got someone that's gonna pair with Tyrant, that's
going to allow him to play more of his natural position.
And you've been searching for that because you've asked him
to do things that at this point in his career, right,
he's his body's not not able to do those things
like play down in the box as physical And I
get it again, Tyrant's played a lot of years in
the NFL.
Speaker 1: Allow him to go make a play at this point, scer.
Speaker 3: Allow him to be, you know, a quarterback of the
defense and you know, bait quarterbacks into them. Think and
he's playing this coverage, but he's really you know, all
those things we talked about with Ed Reid and with
Troy Polamalo and all those great safeties that well, now
he has the freedom to do, is you know, kind
of be that guy and Reid's gonna be your in
box safety.
Speaker 1: Maybe old Brandon Staley can you know, maybe maybe maybe
tricks up his sleeve for for for this uh, for
Tiring and company.
Speaker 3: I mean he did look for for Brandon Staley and
the things that he didn't do for the Chargers. One
thing he did do is he get the most out
of Derwin James.
Speaker 1: There you go and Mitchew Matt's Cam's a wasted both
money and a roster spot. Hard disagree. I mean a
roster spot are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: Had Peyton Turner around?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like what Jake was just talking about when you think
about the leadership, locker room, everything else. Now, So Cam
Jordan back, I'm excited. Jeff pack Jesse once shared several
airport beers with Cam waiting on a flight to Phoenix.
He's a man of the people. Hell ya. I would
not struck necessarily as a beer.
Speaker 1: Drinker, though I don't know why.
Speaker 2: He feels like a light drinker to me, and maybe
more of a a liquor drinker, like a cocktail guy.
But I guess I'm way off. Well, I love Cam.
Just Cam Jordan just slam Bruce Like am I am?
I disrespecting Cam Jordan? Should I love him even more
than I do? Could he just sit there and take
down a twelve or no problem?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think he could. If anybody does know, let me know.
Uh so, because I got on my spam spaghetti diversion there,
we have not gotten to this sexy Yeah, tequila vibes exactly,
Ryan Cam is huge.
Speaker 1: Tequila vibes, huge, huge, huge. What do we call him?
Tequilo soda and line ranch water thank you Elonza ranchwater,
which I like Ranch Water to be fair.
Speaker 2: When we get back, we'll get to the sexy smoke
that I was talking about with the New Orleans Saints.
Keep a lotto to me off the bench. Guys, go

two days ago. Nick at Pelican Roofing was tremendously helpful
of resolving a very difficult roofing issue. He's a true professional,
serves his customers very well. The work was completed by
Daniel Rios, who also did an excellent job. I would
recommend Pelican Roof and Daniel Reels to anyone in need
of their services.
Speaker 1: Scots.
Speaker 2: That's just a random one from two days ago. I mean,
come on now, pelgroof dot com.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean with eighty three Google reviews right now
four point nine out of five. You can go read
literally just dozens of those type of reviews. Pelicanroof dot com.
Speaker 6: Welcome back to Off the Bench where the takes are
hot and the sports talk is questionable.
Speaker 1: What head didn't y'all? Welcome back ot B collend out
about MacCarty in a long time.
Speaker 2: If Mickey Loomis pulls off the signing, I'll actually allow
him to party to the song and be like, have
like a cool movie scene, but only if he makes
the signing. So I mentioned the sexy smoke in the street.
It's the first thing that I would describe as no,
Like the Justin Reid move was very good, right, it's solid.
It's a very solid movie. Yeah, but it's not one
that's gonna like. People love big names at skilled positions,
at score points. Yeah, and a player that would match
all of those parameters is Cooper Cup and the Los
Angeles ran ms just kicked Cooper Cup to the curb. Now,
Grandy's had a little bit of injury problems, but it's
not really that they just in classic Los Angeles fashion,
got a sexy new younger girlfriend in Poka Nakua and like, sorry, Cooper,
we got Coopa or Puka. I mean you're there, Sorry,
we got Pooka. Here you go, well done. And and
it's funny because Cooper cup unfortunate, Jake. You've seen a
trend this offseason where guys are prioritizing. Look, we don't
need any tone of linked in our deal, but what
we want is for basically the entire thing to be guaranteed. Right,
Cooper was right before this started happening. So he has
the incredible year, Triple crown winner, NFL off as to
Play of the Year, super Bowl MVP, and he gets
the big deal. However, that big deal, it's all fake.
Only guaranteed five of the twenty something million he was
due this year. I think it was twenty nine or
twenty seven. Next year wasn't guaranteed.
Speaker 1: Anything of that. So what did the Rams do? They
ripped it up?
Speaker 2: I know, freaking said classic Los Angeles BS agent Shenanigan's
younger girlfriend. I hope karma bites the Rams in the ass.
It's just Super Bowl MVP who desperately wanted to stay
with you, and you just kicked into the curb.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get off on this tangent.
Speaker 3: But that's what makes the NFLPA so trash is the
fact that like Grayson Allen for the Suns is going
to make every bit that he signed for, and Cooper
Cup's not going to get what he signed for everything
that you just laid out there, and we all know
NFL way up here, NBA way down here, and like
this is a star player.
Speaker 1: I mean look, I mean you see the C on
his chest with the four Stars.
Speaker 3: This man's been a captain that many times, and he's
going to get a third of what he actually signed for.
When every other sport, as soon as you sign it,
that's fully guaranteed. You don't even have to fight or
argue for it. That's what you know. It's one of
the things I hate about it. I Mean I get, like,
I get the roster size. Injuries missed me with that.
I mean Tommy John and baseball we've got knee injuries,
hamstring injuries all over place in the NBA. Injuries are
throughout sports. Yeah, you need to guarantee these contracts. But anyways, well,
and it is starting to naturally happen a bit. Look
at the contracts and so yeah, my hope is in
ten years. That's just across the board.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's, it's it's it's starting to move that directs.
But unfortunate Cooper is right before, so he ends up
getting cut and now he's on the open market. And
don't get it twisted, it's going to be a very
competitive market for Cooper Cup. But we're not just saying
this as local guys. The New Orleans Saints. From multiple
national sources, the New Orleans Saints are thought to be
one of the top teams in terms of courting Cup
and trying to uh trying to to to employ him
for his services. And I think this would be awesome,
uh Like, regardless of what Cooper Cup is a what
is he age thirty one now? I believe perhaps or is.
Speaker 3: It twenty nine thirty one?
Speaker 1: He'll be thirty two when the season starts, so thirty
two year old.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's on the down side of his career. He's
still the best guy when he walks in on the
SAME's position group. I mean, you have Cedric Wilson, Dante Pettis,
Rashichahed and Chris Olave who to make a bit of
a gallows humor joke is one Billy Bob concussion away
from never playing football again.
Speaker 3: I was gonna make the same joke. So yeah, I mean,
but it's that's factual, like it's it's something that's real.
He's had a lot in a little time span, So
you're right. I mean, you bring Cooper Cup and they're
even at thirty two years old. If Chris Olave is
not fully healthy, now he's fully healthy a Lave one,
Cooper Cup two. But with the endies too, not just
the concussions that Chris Olave's had.
Speaker 1: Rashichi.
Speaker 3: He's one of those people that is so fast it's
hard to keep healthy. He's so athletic, it's hard to
keep healthy. Do you really want to chance another year
of Pettis being in there?
Speaker 1: Kevin White?
Speaker 3: Mason Tipton, My god, if I had to hear about
Mason Tipton in training camp one more time? Okay, I mean, like,
name a play that he had in the regular season
when there's regular deepensive backs out there.
Speaker 1: Caught a ball on the sideline one time that I was.
Speaker 3: Like that, Okay, that was a good catch.
Speaker 5: But was that from Rattler?
Speaker 3: It is?
Speaker 5: I know the player you're talking about I think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have been later in the year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good play.
Speaker 1: It was a good play.
Speaker 3: Well the fact that y'all both remember the play he made,
because I think that's the only one.
Speaker 1: Peyton.
Speaker 3: You need to protect yourself, Like if you bring in
somebody like this, and I know he's had his own
injury history, I do understand that part of it, But
you've got to stack receivers. We talked about it in
the drafts with ted Ro macmillan yesterday, like you have
to add to that room because as much as we
throw shade at Derek Carr, whoever the quarterback is of
the New Orleans Saints has to have better weapons. So
you've already tied yourself to the tight end room. Talked
about that yesterday with John Johnson's new contract to you
got to add a body, like a capable one, one
that can be a game changer. You can't go into
this season with a Chris Olave that if he has
another concussion, what does that actually do for his career?
And in Rashid Shahead, it's been really good when he's played,
but he's just been injured. Because we've seen that guy,
we have seen the track star fast guy and the
hamstrings and small muscle stuff that, and he's had, you know,
even greater injuries than that.
Speaker 1: You got to protect yourself a little bit more.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 3: I'm all for bringing in a veteran receiver, and I'm
also okay draft and a receiver early in this draft too, And.
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, like yes, like yes, Let's be
clear about that. I think the ideal plan is not oh,
Cooper Cup, you're good now. No, it's it's you get
the older vet guy and then you try to inject,
whether it's at nine if Gendy gets tigging or whatever,
or that at forty.
Speaker 1: I think you do both because you need that much help. There.
Speaker 2: The one disappointed piece of news Marc Raveltez Scantling sign.
Speaker 1: Of the Seahawks, did see that, Taylor. What was the
MVS stat last year?
Speaker 5: The last four MVPs and Super Bowl MVP with ah
had played with Mark wes Valdez Scanlon at some point
in the season. He started with Josh Allen this year.
Speaker 1: So you're telling me Derek Carr is not going to
be MVP next year anymore.
Speaker 5: That is what I'm telling you. And also what I'm
telling you is bet On Sam Darnold.
Speaker 1: You're willing to put something on the line for him
being MVP, Sam Donald, No, Derek Carr, Yeah no, not anymore.
Speaker 2: If MVS is still here, absolutely, it would have been
my nuts running back can't anymore, sorry, MVS.
Speaker 3: He actually was.
Speaker 1: Pretty damn good at the end of the year, to
be fair, I mean he only excited like that. Is
actually like that too.
Speaker 2: Is why the Saints need Cooper Cup because he was
actually a legitimate NFL receiver that they had laundry.
Speaker 1: Is this true? Mason Tipton had ninety nine receiving yards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, damn, zero touchdowns, twenty six targets, fourteen touches every.
Speaker 3: Time we had a Saints writer almost got an almost
one hundred every time.
Speaker 1: During training camp, they would wax poetic about.
Speaker 2: Mason bad Yes, well, okay, stop being such a hater though, dude.
I mean, all you can do in camp is do
what you can, and he was making plays to make
the team.
Speaker 3: He did it for the first week when nobody cares,
and then he missed two weeks with injury.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forgot to remember.
Speaker 3: And then it's like, well, remember we did week one
put him on the team. Yeah, in a week one,
all the vets are like, oh, we're here. Cool.
Speaker 1: He almost had one hundred yards.
Speaker 5: Almost season, Hey say stop, means too huh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but means he had a touchdown.
Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of contract do you think?
Speaker 2: But means has a rookie minimum. That's what I'm saying.
I hope he's not living above his means.
Speaker 4: That one touchdown was his only touchdown on the season.
He did break one hundred yards, though one hundred and eighteen.
Speaker 5: Both signed a four year, four point two million dollar contract.
Speaker 1: Wait, what that's really? Minimum? Is like minimums like eight
hundred almost what year?
Speaker 5: Four year, four point two million totals means?
Speaker 1: That's crazy?
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 5: You gotta you gotta look his His signing bonus was
two fifty k.
Speaker 2: Making that much money, it's hard to live above your means, dude,
eight hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Damn no, this year, sorry, eight hundred and forty thousand dollars.
This year is the rookie minimum. I know it is
a long seventh round pick. Yeah, he makes the team,
you're making eight forty that's crazy my year and again,
long long time ago, now like two I had to
look that up. It was two ninety five my rookie
year minimum. Yeah, yeah, and of course that's what like,
that's what I made because I was a rookie. Like
my signing bonus was good being a third rounder, but
salary was two ninety five, So you got.
Speaker 5: Drafted in what eight I mean, what is that seventeen
years fifteen? No, I'm saying, like they think of the
jump in that seventeen.
Speaker 2: Years, seventeen years, Okay, that does make it feel a
little more like, oh, okay, that makes it okay.
Speaker 5: But we were talking, we were talking about yesterday in
twenty eighteen with the Patriots, Brady made fifteen and a
half a million.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's his name?
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones is going to make seventeen million this year
And that was in twenty eighteen. I mean, that wasn't
that long ago.
Speaker 2: No, I mean yeah, I mean what if that speak
to like inflation, Like I don't know, I don't know
what numbers are anymore, and like in terms of money
and whatnot, we just feel like a big fat, bloated
corpse just getting ready to be cut open in our
stinking in testing just just spill out. Yeah, you try
to hold them in.
Speaker 3: How much I know, like go to the grocery store.
It's like, oh, these six things called.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, I mean what seriously?
Speaker 2: What I go to common the first time yesterday? I
just want to get one it's so good, but I
want to get one bowl of food. It's sixteen dollars.
I'm like, uh, hey, at least give me a glass
of wine first, right, Like, at least kiss me before
you have been me over?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no kissing.
Speaker 1: It gave me a comedy search without asking.
Speaker 3: That's better.
Speaker 1: Ones. I like living above your means.
Speaker 3: I thought that was well.
Speaker 4: I have to say yesterday I randomly thought about when
you were like who and you're like Cody.
Speaker 1: I started laughing about let's.
Speaker 3: Go real quick. I know you gotta take a break
practice squad. You asked that question earlier. If you're a
rookie player or you know you're not vested, it's a
two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars now, so almost
what the league minimum was when I came in.
Speaker 1: It was ninety k when I was there.
Speaker 3: If you're a veteran player, so if you're vested, because
remember now you can be older players still be on
the practice squad, three hundred and two thousand and if
you've got up to six years in the league, is
three hundred and eighty three thousand, four hundred dollars damn
Son and then play play yeah paid weekly, just like
you know the rest of the team.
Speaker 1: All right, closing or what about to me next? Quick second?
Speaker 2: Soft the bench, Tommy's windows, doors, insiding, guys, go Tommy's.
Speaker 1: You'll see the difference clearly.
Speaker 2: Shout out one of my favorite riders, somebody who the
cannon absolutely loves as well. And when the Cannon was
doing pregame LSU and WWL, he used to use his
stats all the time. And that's my guy, Ron Higgins
talking to Tommy. He went out to Ron's house about
it being about a boom, said he heard on O
TV Love you Ronnie, and apparently it went great, because
it always goes great when you work with Tommy kissing and.
Speaker 1: Ron's a great red nickname like great true, so good true.
Speaker 2: So you want a hard playing about his sidey Winter,
Viny windows. You want Tommy's winners or side lifetime wards,
so go Tommy dot com.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we always encourage you to go to the webside
to check out what they've done in the greater Baton
Rouge area. But always remember they can customize your jobs.
One of the great things about Tommy and the team
will come out. They'll do exactly what you're looking for.
Go Tommy's dot Com.
Speaker 6: Off the bench where the takes are hot and the
sports talk is questionable.
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, big boys, Slady, we got issues, dog, Yeah,
chill out, We're.
Speaker 1: About to have to fight.
Speaker 4: I played the one that I sent y'all yesterday, and.
Speaker 1: I was like, was that a mistake of supposed to
be a mistake? I can't tell. When umbles on seventh rank.
Speaker 4: I think she's insulting us.
Speaker 2: But then it was like, why, I mean I emailed
somebody's directing her to do that, though I said't know us.
Speaker 4: I didn't know, so like I just send the liners
and she does whatever. And so I replied, and now
because I do it through Kate, like I send them
to Kate and then Kate sends them to her and
she gets them done. So then I replied to Kaid
yesterday and I said, can she redo the seventh ranked
Morning one in a tone that doesn't sound like she's
making fun of us?
Speaker 1: Wait? Helping forwards that to her?
Speaker 2: Like, uh, look, up a picture of Zod from Superman chat,
saying I look like Zod. I've never seen. That takes
a huge mind spot for me. You know, I've never
seen the original Superman's. I love the John Williams scorts.
I've listened to those a ton. I've seen clips of
Hackman as Lex Luthor. They seemed very fun, but I've
never seen uh yeah, I've never seen the original.
Speaker 1: Superman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, traffics insane.
