Speaker 1: Let's jost.
Speaker 2: I'll start to you to presents. Off the Bench with
Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Off the Bench with Jacob Hester and Bob aber.
Speaker 3: I got to come off the bitch.
Speaker 2: Now here's Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 4: Welcome in our number three, a Monday edition of all
of the Bench Taylor show up with you who has
smoked way too many cigarettes over the weekends.
Speaker 3: We had to bring in my guy Matthew Musso here
along for the ride.
Speaker 4: Elanja villar Real, Kasi's Bizzali in as well. We got
one more hour to go with you here on this Monday.
We were NFL Draft heavy obviously in the first two
hours of the show. But right now, let's kick off
our number three like we do every Monday with some
weekend winners.
Speaker 3: That's how it has done.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 3: We can't have anyone to freak out out there.
Speaker 5: Okay, he's got a k bark apologer got too far.
Speaker 3: I'm by winning. I went here and I win there
now one.
Speaker 6: Are you doing what it takes to win a championship?
Speaker 7: Wow?
Speaker 3: Winning? Well, then I guess there's only one thing left
to do. What's that.
Speaker 1: Win the whole thing?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start with the most obvious weekend winner, the
Yellow Shue baseball team to get the series victory over
Tennessee and Alcabuk Stadium over the weekend two games to one.
They have the thriller on Friday night, they lose Saturday,
and then get the run rule of victory in eight
innings on Sunday. For my first weekend winner, the Yellow
shoot Tigers, moose what you got?
Speaker 3: I was gonna piggyback off that.
Speaker 8: Derek curryl weekend winner obviously has the RBI not to
tie the game on Friday, has his reach base streak
broken on Saturday.
Speaker 3: Forty three game streak.
Speaker 8: Done comes back Sunday. It is the Michael Jordan meme
from the Last Dance. I took that personally four for four,
a triple, shy of the cycle, homer, two doubles, a single,
and then walked in his fifth late appearance, So on
base all five times.
Speaker 3: Just an emphatic statement.
Speaker 8: After his streak was broken, shout out, Derek Curry.
Speaker 4: I could be wrong about this. I believe Kuriell was
on deck.
Speaker 9: He was the next matter that sucks, but maybe like
we needed to break the street to break the slump.
Speaker 10: Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 9: Next day, not that Curiel was ever in a slump,
but piggybacking off Musso's piggyback my guy, y'all know, I
love me some. Michael Braswell hit his first two home
runs of the season weekend. Yeah, so shout out to
Michael Braswell for the two Brassy bombs this weekend.
Speaker 10: One of them came Saturday.
Speaker 9: We didn't end up winning that game, but still good
for him to get that out the way for his
first home run and then his second one hit on
Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 10: So shout out Michael Braswell. I love that kid.
Speaker 3: Cassie. What we got.
Speaker 10: Cassie, Cassie was it's okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3: Nobody wants we can lose her. Cassie for being up prepared.
Speaker 10: Nobody like, and you already talked about baseballs.
Speaker 11: I don't have anything else.
Speaker 3: Cas is hard to please. She's like, you want to
win it?
Speaker 10: What about Evans?
Speaker 12: Good?
Speaker 3: He did Cassie's weekend winner case at Evans even though
even though he didn't impress her that much.
Speaker 4: Cassie is hard to please, but uh, that's gonna be
Cassie's weekend winner, my next weekend winter Look, it's a
it's a little somber, but Derek Harmon is gonna be
my weekend winner. For those of you who don't know,
his mother was in the hospital and was about to
pass away man and he was drafted in the first round.
He made it through the hospital to her. She he
got drafted right before she passed away. He was able
to make it there. As unfortunate as it was, he
kind of knew this was coming. He said it was
his dream to for her to see her son get drafted,
and ultimately that did happen. So when the most unfortunate circumstances,
Derek Harmon actually gets to alpha fill his mother's dreams.
Speaker 3: So shout out to Derek Carmon. But you got most.
Speaker 10: Okay, you made it seem like she was gonna live.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, my gosh, I know she didn't,
you know.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was really just.
Speaker 3: I had to put a damper ony. I'm sorry, it's okay.
Speaker 4: We don't have an NFL story of the day to day,
so I had to make everybody tear up in some way.
I'm like, I'm like the uh the Tom Rinaldi of
O TV, Tom Naldi always bringing up the sad story.
Speaker 9: Okay, well, shout out Derek harmon rests mom.
Speaker 8: Rest in peace, Derek Harmon's mom, Derek Carmon's no, but
for really and that that's awesome, that those are the
type of stories that we love, uh, that we love
to see around the draft.
Speaker 3: For for sure. Excuse me, sorry about that, guys. Uh
another Weekend Winter.
Speaker 8: I could just go ahead and say, uh, we got
a touched on it earlier, but uh, CBS Sports or
CBS Morning News. I mean that's all the rage as
soon as y'all told me about that, because I didn't
even see it. Yeah, I mean it's all over socialeria.
They are getting so much engagement.
Speaker 10: Good on them, good on them.
Speaker 8: Weekend Winner to CBS Morning News that that Belichick thing
is freaking wild.
Speaker 10: I mean that's fair.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Okay, so let's see I have a few of them.
Weekend Loser, the Cleveland Guardians fan that Jared Duran that
he should have killed himself when he had the chance.
Speaker 10: That is disgusting.
Speaker 9: So for those who don't know, though, the Clubhouse, I
told you all about this. We talked about this a
couple of weeks ago. Moose, have you seen The Clubhouse?
Speaker 8: I haven't seen it, but I've obviously seen that tart, so.
Speaker 9: I watched the Clubhouse. Also, I watched the Comeback and
made me cry. The Red Sox.
Speaker 10: Beat my team in that series and it made me
tear up at it.
Speaker 9: But anyways, in the Clubhouse, Jared Duran opens up about
like until health struggles and says that he that he
like tried to pull the trigger and it didn't pull,
so like he was like very close to you know,
and then so this Cleveland Guardian fan is drawn at him,
and like, you know, there's heckling, and then there's crossing
the line exactly, and you don't tell somebody that that
is so disgusting, So we can loser Jaron Duran, And honestly,
just like uh sports fans that take things a little
too far, because y'all know, y'all know how I feel
about the Shador thing, but I think that that prank
call was really messed up. I don't like that is
it doesn't matter how you feel about Shador. You could
think he's annoying, you could think he's flashy, you could
think all this stuff, but I think it's so messed
up to prank call this man on a phone that
only NFL personnel.
Speaker 10: Had, Like this is what they're saying.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and somehow you get the number and you prank
call him and tell him that he's gonna get drafted
and he's not Like, I think that's my stuff, no
matter how you feel about and I think that guy's
a loser.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I agree with you. I agree with you
on that.
Speaker 4: The question now that everyone's asking is how much trouble
should this guy be it?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: Because like he apparently the word is like he actually
called Shador Sanders and they have talked on the vone
person to person.
Speaker 3: So like they have they have actually talked talked this out.
Speaker 4: Ole miss As they're looking into it because that's where
he goes. The Atlanta Falcons are looking into it. How
much trouble should this guy be it?
Speaker 10: I don't know about trouble?
Speaker 3: Do you let do you let it go? At this point?
Speaker 10: See, I don't know.
Speaker 3: He made himself look like a jacket. Yeah, he got that.
He's talked to Shador like and get in trouble for
that's what I'm saying these.
Speaker 4: Reputations ruined enough, Like I don't there's so many people
that are like, kick him out of school and all this.
Speaker 3: I think that's a little Let's not do that.
Speaker 9: We can agree that the dude is an a hole, yeah,
and we can move on. I don't know what you're
supposed to get in trouble.
Speaker 4: For, because like all of his his reputation, his credibility,
all of that's already out the way.
Speaker 10: We don't want to be in jail if we got
in trouble.
Speaker 3: For break calls.
Speaker 4: The damage is not as far as I'm don't kick
the guy out of school, though, Let's let's not do that, Okay, castieasons,
nothing impresses you, do you have a weekend loser?
Speaker 10: Sure?
Speaker 11: Okay, to be sure, but I also, I mean this
is like kind of kind of like nothing relates to
anything we even talking about.
Speaker 10: Okay, this weekend I had like.
Speaker 11: A my Mom's my moms a dance to year, so
like a dance competition this weekend, and I haven't danced
in like six months, and so I like I danced
all day on Saturday, from like seven am to two pm,
and then all day on Sunday from.
Speaker 10: Like seven am to two pm.
Speaker 11: So I'm like so sore and like I had like
no stamina.
Speaker 10: It was it was rough. But we can lose her, Cassie.
That's a I made.
Speaker 9: I made my She doesn't even impress herself.
Speaker 4: Cassie's like nothing to me or anybody else does is
worth the crap ever, So just here, okay, I have
one more winner before we get to mel Kiper.
Speaker 3: He's half a going to be a loser.
Speaker 4: Let's just get that out of the way now, min
Last weekend, Winter is going to be my sister in
law and now my new brother in law. They got
married over the weekend on Friday night. Not only did
they get married, guys, we were in a raindol ages
like LSU baseball. Okay, it looked like this wedding was
going to be a complete washout. They wanted to have
it outside. Well you know what, good Lord, give him
a twenty minute window. They got the wedding done outside
without a hitch. Everybody was happy. So congratulations to uh
Chasing Jony. Congratulations to the all are out there listening.
Uh welcoming in the new brother in law to the fam. Okay,
that's awesome weekend loser. As I just mentioned, is mel Kipe. Yeah,
I have this pulled up Cassie.
Speaker 10: Just do we want sound? Oh?
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Obviously, obviously we know that Sanders. Obviously we know that
the shad Or Sanders fell in the draft. A lot
of people thought he was going to go in the
first round. Not only is he not going the first round,
he goes in the fifth round. Mel Kiper is beside himself.
And I understand that if there's a player you think
is being under you feel a certain type of way
about it.
Speaker 3: But I have never seen anybody.
Speaker 4: Melkiper included act this way like it makes me wonder
like is he on the take?
Speaker 3: Is he getting paid by Dion?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 3: What's going on? Just listen to this clip, gunn PLP.
Speaker 6: The NFL has been clueless for fifty years when it
comes to evaluating quarterback, clueless all that no idea what
they're doing. There's an evaluating quarterback.
Speaker 7: That's proof. There's proof of that.
Speaker 6: How many day we know exactly what we're talking about
with quarterback? They don't know?
Speaker 4: Okay, So the lots on back there. Mel Kiper is
saying that the NFL has been clueless.
Speaker 3: For fifty years.
Speaker 10: What they're talking.
Speaker 3: Look, there's hidden missus in every single round.
Speaker 4: He's like, there's there's proof of this. Well, if you
go back and listen. He came on glued Thursday.
Speaker 10: Night when the entire draft. This dude was out his mind.
Speaker 4: When when Pittsburgh did not draft Schador Sanders in twenty one,
he lost his mind. He started throwing out Tom Brady,
Joe Montana like names like this. He was going, he
was nuts when Shador still hadn't gotten picked, Like, okay, mel,
I get it. That was your number one quarterback on
the board. He was a top five player overall. You've
never been in any NFL front office. You haven't won
any Super Bowls. You've never made a single draft pick
in your life. As a matter of fact, if I
wanted to, I could have Cassie pull up the fact
that you were supposed to retire because Jimmy Clawson wasn't
a good quarterback. You said, point blank, if Jimmy Clawson
doesn't become a good quarterback, I'm going to retire. Those
fifteen years ago, mel and here you are still sitting here,
still complaining.
Speaker 3: These guys do this for a living.
Speaker 4: You may not agree with the pick, but don't get
up there and say they've been clueless for fifty years?
Were they clueless when they picked Peyton Manning number one
overall over Ryan Leaf? Has that happened? I mean, look
at all the first round hits. So you can sit
there and bring up Tom Brady and at Joe Montana.
The reason people only single them out is because they're
the exceptions. They're not the norms. Like for you to
get up there and say that, like I thought Reze
Davis handled it great. If you guys watched Reese Davis
all weekend long, he was able to reel them in.
Speaker 3: Lewis Riddick looked like you wanted to beat the U
out of.
Speaker 4: Mel being up there, Like I couldn't imagine sitting next
to Mel all weekend long having to listen to him complain,
like what are you those thoughts on this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, same same deal.
Speaker 8: I did not have mel Kuiper White nighting Shador Sanders
for three days at the draft of my Bingo car.
I mean it was he was, I mean absolutely wild,
and not only that, I mean that clip is going
to follow mel Kuiper around forever. If Shador Sanders does
not pan out or you said they're clueless.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 8: I feel like the Ravens had a pretty good evaluation
on Lamar Jackson, and there were people who thought he
could not play in the NFL. Had a pretty good
EVL there. I mean, the game is changing a little
bit more. And I mean the other thing that you
were implying there is that you.
Speaker 3: Know more than the NFL. We always break down. I
get it.
Speaker 4: Your misses are louder than your hits. I understand that
people remember what you got wrong, and let's not act
like you has some dazzling resume here, like mel Kiper's
been wrong a lot. I mentioned the Jimmy Clawson thing.
That's just one example. He was high on Brady Quinn.
He mentioned al JaMarcus Rossell was going to be the
next big thing in the NFL, like there's plenty you
can dig into and.
Speaker 3: Poke holes into, mel Kuipers.
Speaker 4: So for him to sit up there act ti and mighty,
act like he knows better than all thirty two gms.
What's more likely all thirty two gms got together, colluded,
decided they weren't drafting Shador Sanders for whatever reason, or
was mel Kuiper and everybody else do any mock draft
that is not in a front office where they wrong.
Speaker 3: What's more likely.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say that mel Kiper and the mock draft
experts experts quote unquote were wrong, and not all thirty
two NFL gms.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean we were talking about this earlier too,
where I, to me, could I could be alone on
an island on this one?
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 9: To me, it's more egregious that quinn Ewers fell to
the seventh round than Shador.
Speaker 10: Getting picked in the fifth. Like, to me, quin.
Speaker 9: Yours was the better quarterback this year and last year
than Shador. And then we were talking about Will Hacken,
I mean, Will Howe a championship, win championship, and nobody
was even talking about Yeah, and Sanders got drafted before
he did. I mean, I just think that the entire
the entire Shadoor saga was like a kind of funny
b The.
Speaker 10: Memes were great, but also like, it's just you.
Speaker 9: We talked about it Friday too, when he was like
we all know this shouldn't have happened or something like that,
and it's like, okay, so you thought that you were
just gonna be like this top five pick because your
dad kept saying that you were going to be, and
like your dad kept trying to convince everybody that you
were going to be, he retired your jersey and then
like good lord.
Speaker 10: Then if you were to.
Speaker 9: Say anything bad about Shadoor Sanders in like in the media,
everybody started crapping on you.
Speaker 10: So it's just I don't know. All of it was
just so dumb.
Speaker 4: The main problem I have with all of it is
that Dion acts like everyone's out to get them because
their name is Sanders. It's the complete opposite. You get
the benefit of the doubt. You get opportunities others don't.
Speaker 3: A lot.
Speaker 4: I mentioned Quinny you or is Will Howard. Nobody cared
about them because their last name are not Sanders. You
have the benefit, you have the advantage. That's fine, take
whatever advantage you can get in life. But the fact
that people all of a sudden believe that Dion and
Shador getting picked on because their last name Sanders is
a little bit ridiculous to me. That's just that's just
kind of where I said it.
Speaker 3: The whole thing.
Speaker 9: Also, wait, sorry, I was gonna say, like real quick,
Jordan Shules is also kind of weird. You're and I
can't tell if this is satire because it's so I
hope it is. Okay, I'm just gonna read it to you.
Keep in mind, Jordan Shull's dad is like the CEO
of Starbucks.
Speaker 10: Okay, so like two Nepo babies.
Speaker 9: Jordan Schules tweeted out on Saturday. He said, I'm not
saying you need a root for him, but the amount
of negativity towards Shadoor Sanders.
Speaker 10: On this app is sad. This is the part where
I'm like, is this satire? He's a kid.
Speaker 9: Here's a kid who grew up with all the money
in the world, traveled, lived in mansions, the whole nine,
and yet he chose to pursue his passion.
Speaker 10: He chose to get hit for a living.
Speaker 9: He chose to pursue a career in football despite the
fact he would always.
Speaker 10: Be compared to Dion the best ever to do it.
I'm sorry, but that's pretty freaking admirable to me.
Speaker 3: Sue.
Speaker 4: It sounds just like him. What wow, sounds like he
was rearing himself out. Ian rapaport response for that. Quickly
they can get into another verbal altercation that satire.
Speaker 3: I hope he's not blind as well.
Speaker 9: But he was like defending Shador all weekend, so I
don't I can't tell if it is, but that is
the most out of touch thing that I've ever read.
Speaker 4: I mean that's the thing though, Like this Chador thing
has gotten so many people in their fields. And you
can say Shador Sanders has a lot of haters because
he's flashing. I agree with that, but my god, does
Shador Sanders have a lot of defenders as well, like
you can take the good with the battle that Like
as many as many people that are out there criticizing Chador,
fairly or unfairly, I've never seen somebody with such a
staunch fan base behind them. All right, look, does anybody
USLF a weekend winter loser?
Speaker 10: If not, we're going to take a time Antigua.
Speaker 3: Quite literally.
Speaker 10: Yeah he did lose after Jawn all week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was he gonna do if Bear actually decided
to square up? Like, you know, you have a guy
standing there, you're hold back, coach, Like what do you?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 8: I will say LSU did their fair share of John,
which was which was awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the series was awesome. I'm good with it.
Speaker 9: You want this to be exactly how I think that like,
No matter which side is doing it, I think it's
good for the sports, good for the rivalry.
Speaker 10: I love it.
Speaker 8: Weekend loser though, who played Empire? Yeah, Friday night, Saturday morning. Brother,
the game is over, my man, Get out of Jared
Jones face. Jared Jones said. He told him that the
game is over. You know what Jared Jones should have said,
I just hit a ball four and fifty feet. You
should be impressed in your life. No, then get out
of my way. Let me go run the basis, he
was celebrating with his team.
Speaker 4: The game is supposed to be fun, trying to make
bumpars making about themselves.

Speaker 3: Right now, we go out to the phone lines.
Speaker 4: He joins us every Monday around this time, Devin snow
hold de Mayo hopping on right now, Dev.
Speaker 5: How are you yo?
Speaker 7: What's going on? How we doing?
Speaker 3: What's up? Man?
Speaker 4: We are all a bit under the weather, but we
are powering through here on this Monday, Dev a busy
sports weekend here in Louisiana. Obviously, let's go ahead and
start with the New Orleans Saints Day maybe locked Mickey
Loomis in a closet, as Musso mentioned earlier, making all
nine picks of their draft. What were your thoughts on
this Saint's draft class?
Speaker 7: It was very Saints like to start. You know, it's
usually the guys you never expect. I did think as
the draft went on, especially like between like the fourth
and the seventh selection that they had, I thought it
got better. I mean I really thought they got some sleepers.
It's my favorite part of the draft was when the
Saints drafted guys like Dandy Stutsman, Devin Neil, and then
as far as your early picks, I guess you just
got to see how it pans out. But can't be
mad at fans for being like what just happened here?
When you take a guy and Tyler Shuck would pick forty.
There wasn't even a quarterback selected in the second round
other than him. Wasn't a quarterback selected again until the
end of the third round when Milrow went to the Seahawks. So,
I mean, look, the Saints think they got their guy.
The fans a little taken back, and I guess that's
why they played the game.
Speaker 3: Let me get your.
Speaker 4: Thoughts on the Tyler Shuk pick. I mean, look, it's
the quarterback. It's the one that people are going to
talk about a lot. The Saints ultimately did not move
off of forty. There was word that, hey, could they
try to trade back up in the first round to
get Jackson Dart the Giants to do that, not the
Saints shock at forty. Look twenty six years old, his
sense of injuries in college. But you had a pretty
good season last year, played a lot of football. What
are your thoughts on that? I mean, Kellen Moore, does
he have his guy?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 3: How me start? You think Tyler Shuck gets here?
Speaker 7: You're one dude. I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea. Yeah,
I mean, this is not I'm not an expert. I'm
just a fan, right, but it staying a guy's name
who was circulating amongst you know people down here. Nobody
really expected them to go with him. He's six foot five,
that's tight.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 7: You know, he looks like he could put the ball
into a window. I mean, look, let's just see what's
gonna happen. What I didn't like was when Mickey Loomis
went on the press that after instead of Derek's healthy,
he's just getting he's the starter. Yeah, if we're trying
to change the culture, Dude, the car is broken down,
right and we got to ride out of the death Right,
But Mickey Luomas wants to stay by the broke down call.
When we got a ride, you know, we could head
to the Promised Land and flip the page. But this
guy keeps wanting to kind of make it feel like
he wants to stay him by the broken the broken car,
whether or not truly knows that they done with Derek Carr.
You know, for him to just say that is just
it's it's discouraged him and you just hate to hear it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I get you, especially like, look, you use
a second round pick on him like he's still the
highest quarterback the.
Speaker 3: Saints have taken since Archie Manning.
Speaker 4: Like he won the first round pick, but he's still
the highest one you have drafted in quite some time.
So for him to say, oh, well, you know we
still believe in Derek Carr, while okay, what did you
essentially just waste that second round pick?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's It's just it's Mickey Luma's being Mickey Lomas.
What do you gonna do?
Speaker 4: Dev As far as like maybe your favorite pick of
the draft, you mentioned Danny Stutsman, you mentioned Devin Neil, Like,
which one of those guys?
Speaker 3: Are you ready to see Poppier year one?
Speaker 7: I mean, dude, it's one A, one B with both
I think both of them gonna be able to make
an immediate impact. And I mean, how often do you
see a guy round six pick one eighty four and
Devin Neil where I'm telling you, man, this dude is good.
Sometimes you don't even know why running backsdrop, right, I mean, dude,
look at Ali Gordon. Ali Gordon got drafted by Miami.
I think it was in the sixth round two. Ali
Gordon was a Heisman finalist like two years ago. So
you just I'm gonna tell you, man. I bet on
Kansas Games enough to know that Devin Neil is the
real deal. So I think he's gonna fit in great,
especially considering Kendrick and Miller can't ever stay healthy. I
think I could see Devin Neil being then number two
pretty quickly, all right.
Speaker 4: Dev Shifting from the New Orleans Saints to another event
coming up in New Orleans, it was announcing UFC three
eighteen in New Orleans July nineteenth.
Speaker 3: Poorier versus Holloway. How excited are we?
Speaker 7: Very excited? Man, been wanting this to happen for years.
It's huge news too. I mean, this is one of one, right,
this is something that may never happen again. I mean
for USC to bring a numbered card three eighteen to
the Smoothie King Center, Bro, we know how much work
the Smoothie King Center needs, right, and for them to
do that, nobody deserves it more than Pooria. I mean,
he's had a long career, a very long career. He's
fought everybody. Every fight's always good. We gonna lose, and
he just deserved this. So I'm extremely excited. And if
I'm not in there, I'm dead so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I imagine. I know there's a lot of big
fight fans here in Louisana. Like we were talking about it,
like there's certainly a market for it, Like do you
think something like this, like if this goes well, like
could we see fights in New Orleans regularly?
Speaker 7: We already should. The fact that we don't is actually attraction,
you know, because our parents and grandparents, they grew up going.
Speaker 1: To the biggest fight uh in the Superdome, and it's
it's it's it's a legacy uh in New Orleans to
have fights, you know, it's I mean, and it's not
like we don't have great fighters either come out.
Speaker 7: We always have. We've always had dudes that weather in
box in the USC that have come out of Louisiana.
So I just think that hopefully this is the start
of bringing that back, bringing bringing that whole cause again,
it's it's a legacy. Fighting in New Orleans is a legacy.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: Before we get you out of here, look at his Monday.
That means day. What's on the agenda for today?
Speaker 7: Oh? Brother, I have no I've been so caught up

caught up with the draft, dude. You know the draft
felt like three months, really did the three days felt.
Speaker 4: Like it was DEVI If the draft was long for you,
imagine how mel Kiper felt over the weekend.
Speaker 7: Oh Man. But that's but you know what, that's why
mel Kiper will be there every year.
Speaker 3: We're talking about it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean just the attention he brought alone. I mean,
that's why Malkaiper will be the FAVO.

Hunter McCann of WBRZ. Hunter, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 5: Good morning, guys.
Speaker 3: Good how are you Hunter? When is the next Disney trip?
Speaker 7: I gotta ask you in June.
Speaker 3: Okay, I knew it was coming up. Moose.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're aware of this to Disney
about four times a year.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, we'd had to slow it down a
little bit, will you you you cut it to a
cool every six months or something.
Speaker 3: That'll do. Okay?
Speaker 4: Well, look, speaking of excitement, LSU baseball just played a
heck of a series over the weekend. They get to
win two to one over Tennessee. Uh, kind of give
me your overall thoughts would you like over that?
Speaker 3: Uh? Tigers and Falls?
Speaker 5: I mean what did I like? I mean, yeah, a
little bit of a little bit of everything. I mean,
I thought the pitching and be honest with was pretty
superb for the Tigers. But let a you know, let
alone a few innings maybe, But like, I thought the
pitching was pretty great on the mound, and then obviously
the bats come alive. Uh yesterday especially. I mean you
can talk about the one inning obviously Friday night with
six underd runs, But yesterday I thought they did a
great job of being in a rubber match and being
able to come out the other end with a victory,
not only just a victory of a run rule of
victory and eight innings. Uh, just because of your ability
to generate offense, like like it had been a.
Speaker 7: Little bit guiding it in the past.
Speaker 5: Two and a half weeks or so. Like I think
that they had been kind of in a cold spell.
And I think when you get yourself in a top
five matchup and the juices are really falling at bits
and the packed alex Box Stadium on a hot, hot
Sunday afternoon, Uh, they came in. They showed up. I mean,
you you get off to a fast start despite you know,
obviously you have Caston Evans on the mound to start Sunday,
something that he hadn't done yet this year. Uh, and
he was fantastic. He gave up those two earned runs
in the first inning and really fiddled in after that,
and the team picked them up. Carryel starts the bottom
of the first inning with the solo homer and then
he obviously goes on to go for four for four
for yesterday.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 5: And look, so I loved your tweet yesterday, uh, saying
that that carryl had taken it personally after losing the
old bass trick because they nobody really did. I mean,
he goes four to four yesterday with with a home run,
two singles in a double, and then uh, don't forget
about the fact that he also had that walk at
the end of the games. I mean, he was flawless
at the plate, but just getting that hot start yesterday
really kind of put the game into overdrive and allow
the Tigers to take the series.
Speaker 8: Yeah, every single one of Derrek Curriel's hits drove in
a run at all of them, like, and one of
the doubles drove into he was he was awesome. I
love the thought too from you Hunter on which saw
from a couple of other guys in the lineup, because man,
I'd really been looking at at two out of the
three that I've been looking at who are really struggling
with Jones, milem and Hernandez, Hernandez and Jones mean Jones
and up the four hits on the weekend. They they
kind of I mean obviously Louis on Sunday, a doubling
of excuse me, a triple and a double the one
that ultimately walked it off. It's kind of what you
saw from those guys. Hopefully they're trying to break out
of the slump.
Speaker 5: Well, I think Tornandez and Jones did do that. They
both flowed a lot more patient at the play. I
think all three of the guys you just mentioned, and
Hernandez and Jones and Mileam had been rushing everything, kind
of being a little bit too aggressive at the plate.
I think Hernandez and Jones kind of figured it out
a little bit and kind of realized I could slowed
back down the game and still get you know, quality
at bats and good contact on the ball. Mila needs
to do that. Uh, but like I said, slow it
down a little bit, because every time he comes up
and just so that he's trying to swing for the fences,
and I think right now that's just not been, uh
been possible for him. I mean, he just looks like
the game's coming a little bit too quick to him.
And we know that, uh, he has the ability to
be an impact player. And with one swing of the pack,
one swing to bat ten, you know, launched one over
the right field fen so it was much specifically the
left field fence. And he has been late on our
early on almost every single ball that he's swung at
so far in this series, I mean, all all contact
he made with the left field the past few days,
buy then is if he slows back down his game, uh,
similar to what he did. If you remember last year
when he started off slow our Sulys when to start
off fast and then got into a little bit of
a dry spell before he got hot again moving it
uh at st Championship uh and towards postseason. If he
could do that again and this time because he's basically
hitting that same kind of a quiet spell that we
saw last year, he'll figure it out. But that's really
what he needs to do is just stop swinging for
the face for every single time come up there, look
for your pitch and get it into play. That's all
he needs to do to be able to take Hutter.
Speaker 4: Going back to the pitching aspect of it all, you
talked about Cason Evans how good he was yesterday, and
he was obviously excellent.
Speaker 3: Me musso Landri.
Speaker 4: We all kind of had this discussion to start the
show of what we thought they would do with Cason
Evans from here on else I kind of wanted to
get your thoughts on it as well. Do you think
they roll with Cason Evans on Sunday or is it
one of those things where it's you're gonna play him
in games that you want to win. So like, for example,
if you have a chance to win a Friday or
Saturday and you need him out of the bullpen, go
ahead and do that and just do a TBA on Sunday.
Or do you like him permanently in that game three role?
Speaker 5: I like it. It's at TVA right now. I think
that if you need him, like he's such a versatile player,
I mean the fact that he's probably your second best
pitsuer on staff. I still think Kate Anderson takes that
lead role as a Friday night starter, like that's your
best pitcher. But I think past Evans and exact twan,
but Evans specifically been the most reliable out of ten
and you have to be able to still have that
as an option if you need him on a on
a Friday night tight Friday night game or Saturday game.
But I mean, if he's available, like if you haven't
used him yet, you get Sunday, he's got a pitch
instead of change Shorts, because Shorts can come out of
the bullten. We saw him do it in twenty twenty
three and have success, And I think maybe you know
because it's not that Shorts has a ditch. Weall on Sundays.
He's just been a little bit inconsistent. I think that
a change of pace for him would be good too.
So I think if Evans is available to Patchel on Sundays,
because you just haven't used him yet and haven't had
that need, he starts on Sunday and you can have
Chase to come out of the bullten maybe whether that's
Sunday or the midweek.
Speaker 8: I so want to switch it up here, Hunter, move
off from baseball for a little bit and get your thoughts
on on Bernard Good. Just transferred in or I should say,
committed to transfer it to tell us you in this
spring portal window, defensive tackle like a spot they might
explore here in the portal. Obviously he comes on, you
have Dylan Battle leave. Just a thought on Good and
how he might fit into a Blake Bakers defense.
Speaker 5: Well, he's a four star recruit obviously, like you said,
and uh, he went to Park Crossing in Montgomery, Alabama.
He looked he's a very fast player on the defend side.
And not only that, I was, you know, watching some
film on him actually last night just to kind of
see his style of play. He's very aggressive and has
very good what uh what. I was able to see
very good balance coming out of his stance and he's
able to get the low leverage. I think that's really
great for this and like you said, it's a position
that the team obviously needed to fill in and have
a little bit more. Get that, but I think he's
a guy that can come in and make an impact immediately.
I think it's a I mean, obviously, I think it's
a great pick for Brian Kelly and his staff. I
don't think he could really go wrong at this point,
but I'm excited to see him and actually we get
a little bit closer uh to fall because I think
that he cannot only like I said, make an impact
defensively when they when they get the game top. I
think he's gonna make that elfitive line that uh, that
big revisioned offensive line because there's a lot of new
faces we're going to see on their next year. Even
better uh, because he's going to give quality reps.
Speaker 4: Nonetheless, before we get you out of here, we've been
lsu heavy. You want to shift gears one more time.
Got to get your thoughts on the Saints before we
get out of here. Look, the twenty five NFL Draft
obviously wrapped up over the weekend. What are your thoughts
on what the Saints did with this particular draft class.
Speaker 3: Do you like what they did?
Speaker 5: I liked every single pick except for shucking for it.
Speaker 3: Yep, that seems to kind of be the consensus right now.
Speaker 5: I did. I Actually, I thought they did really well
to be able to get really high quality, talented all
of their picks. I really liked the gaps that they filled.
I think the one thing that everybody had been harping
on that they did not do was get give themselves
a big wide receiver.
Speaker 7: I was.
Speaker 5: I was very high on uh Helik Aomnor out of Stamford.
I really wanted them to take him in the fourth round.
They had the opportunity to decided to remember, they went
with that pick. I believe it would have been Stutsman,
the linebacker to Oklahoma. Nonetheless, like he's a great pick up,
Like he's very he's a fast downhill runner, like he's
very smart. I like that pick at Uh in the
fourth round. But they need to go in at least
free agency and get this as a wide receiver. But specifically,
going back to the reason I don't like Shuck. Is
I use this comparison on Saturday on Fort Shortch Radio
if you want to take two previous Sins quarterbacks to
make a comparison to for Shuck. In my opinion, if
you can find the talent and play of Jay Kayner
and Ian Book and you made them six foot five,
to me that that Kyle was shut I don't. I
just not that I don't think he's a good quarterback.
It's the fact that I don't think he's a second
round quarterback. Like I think I think the Saint reached here.
I think they Shucked would have still actually been available
in the middle of the fourth round, Like that's kind
of where he was projected to go by most analysts.
Like that's where I would think he's talent a level
played somewhere in the middle of the fourth round. But
I think this is a typical definition of a coach
falling in love with a quarterback. I think Kellen Moore
really liked Tyler Shuck and said we're gonna go get
him as soon as we can, and that's exactly what
they did in Like, if it works out and he
ends up being the guy for the New Orleans Saints,
and guess what, I don't care that theay he was
the second round about ye right, I'm wrong, and I
hope Iobe does. For I just don't think that the
talents that I've seen from this guy, who's had injuries
in the past. He's broken the same colebone twice, he
broke the steamer in college. He only had one healthy year,
full year of college football, and that was last season
in his seven year career throughout collegiate athletics. He finished
his career at Louisville and he had a great season.
But it worries me that you've only he's a seven
year guy. He's a seventh year senior. He only had
one healthy year and he gets drapped high in the
second round in Orleans, saying, so I it to me,
it's a rescue for disaster. But that doesn't mean that
Chuck can't prove me wrong. And I like I guess that,
I hope he does.
Speaker 3: Hunter Ken WBRZ. Hunter, thanks for hopping on with us today.

Speaker 2: Welcome back to Off the Bench, where the takes are
hot and the sports talk is questionable.
Speaker 4: Welcome back in final segment, hour number three, Monday edition
of Off the Bench.
Speaker 3: Very NFL Draft Heavy.
Speaker 4: We also dove into LSU with their series victory over
the Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Volunteers over the weekend.
Speaker 4: But right now it's time to close the show out
like we do every day, with some asks of the Bench.
And the first question is, could Matt Musso defeat one
hundred aerial.
Speaker 3: Into Tequis only want to meet? There's only one of you,
there's one hundred area in.
Speaker 8: T No, I can't defeating myself what you're talking about.
Speaker 9: That's just like bad odds, no matter whose Yeah, the
next one's were at laundra.
Speaker 4: Ask the bench, well, I mean not specifically, but like
you would know better than U.
Speaker 3: I was like, No, what other.
Speaker 4: Title fight would you want to co headline UFC three eighteen?
Speaker 10: Reasonably speaking, if you want to make it real big?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean as big as you want.
Speaker 10: You want to make it real big, give me Ilia and.
Speaker 4: Islam Okay, yeah, moved up.
Speaker 3: Kind of like a little co made eventuge.
Speaker 10: Yeah, like you want to make it real big give
me that. That'd be cool.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't mind that one.
Speaker 10: Might be a little out of reach, but I would
love that.
Speaker 4: Ask the bench, Uh, when are we getting at Moose
show so that you could stop being t Bobin scones
punching bags?
Speaker 3: Look, guys, were jeez.
Speaker 4: Matt's an angry person and he has to find someone
to take his anger out on T Bob.
Speaker 3: I don't know what T Bob's issue is.
Speaker 4: I think T Bob is intimidated by me. I kind
of think that's what it is understandable.
Speaker 3: I get it. We're fine. We look Moose and Matt
have a great relationship. Me and T Bob.
Speaker 4: Actually we have a pretty good relationship off air as well.
Like we're fine, We're not any danger or anything like that.
Speaker 3: We're guys. The reality is, guys look.
Speaker 4: Off air, Moscarta and t Bob are two of the
nicest people you'll ever meet.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: I know some people are like, no, wait, yes, that's true.
If it was an issue, they wouldn't do it. Okay,
it's all part of the fun here. We have a
guaranteed media.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: Ask the bench how many SIGs and beers does Nicola
jokicch have after his after his games. I think he
has them before his games, is sure someone I aspire
to be. I mean, a guy that is that good
and cares that little. It's really phenomenal. I mean it,
Nikola Jokic. I mean, I think far and away best
player in the NBA. We're in talks of like best
center of all time though within Nikola Jokich, Like if
he wins his what's he on his third MVP, fourth
MVB coming up?
Speaker 3: If he wins it?
Speaker 4: Like that guy is He's been on another level. Ask
the bench, how long did it take Muso to go
to sleep after the Bear Jones walk off?
Speaker 8: Homer See, I left the parking lot at about one
point fifty eight am. I was probably asleep shortly before
three p thirty, so I mean, I guess about an
hour and a half. I was pretty exhausted. That was
a long day, it was a long week, so I
mean I was fired up after obviously, but once I
actually like got in bed, I was out pretty quick.
Speaker 4: Ask the bench, what UFC or boxing fight would you
want to go back in time to see?
Speaker 3: Front Row?
Speaker 4: For me, it's one of the classics, Like Atli Frasier
comes to mind, right, one of the Tyson fight Sunny.
Speaker 3: List thing comes to mind.
Speaker 4: I mean one of the one of the classic heavyweight
fights that we talk about, right, Like George Foreman's a
good one, Mike Tyson's a good one, like any of those,
Like Elandra.
Speaker 3: I know you're big into UFC.
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a UFC fight that like
maybe quite matches the history of those, but I mean
there's some big ones there are.
Speaker 9: I can't think of a UFC one off the top
of my head, but yeah, it'd have to be like
literally any Muhammad Ali fight. I would come back and
watch recent like if I could go to like a
recent boxing match, probably the one last year with you
Sick and Fury.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's amazing.
Speaker 4: Fury and Wilder a couple of years ago was really good.
I mean they've had some they've had some good ones
over the years. Boxing has the history the UFC doesn't.
Like I'm definitely going back in time to see boxing
over UFC because like UFC is still growing, Boxing like
it's heyday, Like I still think boxing is big, but
it's heyday was you know twenty years ago. That's that's
when I want to go back. All right, Look, that's
going to do it for a Monday edition of Off
the Bench. H a sick day version of Off the Bench.
We appreciate Matt Mussover hopping in a laundra big help
Cassie as well. We'll see you tomorrow on OTV Off
the Bench.
Speaker 12: KTIZ Blinds dot com, k t Z Blinds dot Com
and I just I can't tell you enough. And actually,
like during the last couple of weeks, our shade has
just consistently stayed down that we have and the back
of our home and that's where the sun kind of
before we got it, just really ruin TV viewing during
the day you're trying to watch like a big NFL
game or a big baseball game else she's got an
early one today and you couldn't get it done. Just
wasn't the same, right, you got this huge galare on
the TV. Well, I didn't think putting something on the
exterior of our home would changed the interior of our home,
but it has certainly done that. Now it's done its
original job. Like Harlowe loves going out to our little patio,
we dropped the shade down there. She plays out there
absolutely loves it. It's not as hot, it's not bright,
but it has changed the dynamic of our entire home.
Speaker 3: The house is.
Speaker 12: Cooler whenever we have the shade down, though, do it
for you as well.
Speaker 3: K two Z Blindes dot com
