Speaker 3: Okay, real quick, I forgot to pull the right one.
So this is just y'all singing like there's no music.
This is literally just y'all going the l ready.
Speaker 7: Yeah, lets go the LDRA.
Speaker 5: I love it so good.
Speaker 3: I love it. Okay, so first question, you know what,
Let me play the song first and then I'll read
the quest. Question. So this is your first song loser?
I oh no, Dear de Landra, what is the proper
etiquette to shoot a Texas A and M fan off
my porch?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: I would say that all you gotta do is like,
wait till the end of football season and they'll just disappear.
They'll just won't even patience. Yeah, just be patient and
they'll eventually get.
Speaker 7: Out of there shoot themselves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they always crack for the end of football season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's going to be at least four times for
sure that they're upset on Saturdays.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I can guarantee that for Texas eight and four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Or you can tell them that there's a special
at splash going on right now, drink specials at Splash.
Speaker 2: I knew and Beck Loser was coming up, it was
going to be something. I knew that serious question.
Speaker 8: Has anybody ever actually met someone who outwardly pulls for
Texas A and M. I am twenty eight years old
and I never have, So.
Speaker 3: I'll wait to Texas A and M.
Speaker 9: Yeah one, that okay.
Speaker 8: But like when you're driving around here right like you'll
see Alabama stickers? Have you ever seen a car with
a Texas A and M sticker on it?
Speaker 7: Thousands in Texas?
Speaker 5: Have you?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 8: I mean like here like no, no. I was in
college station at a Chick fil A. Not one person
in there out of Texas A and M.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 6: No one really goes out of state to go to
Texas A and M. At least like SEC people go
out of state to go to that seems pretty fun.
Speaker 3: I was in Texas and didn't go to Texas A
and M. Right, So there you go. That's how you
show a Texas A and M.
Speaker 7: Fan patients patients.
Speaker 3: Drink specials at Splash. Yeah, okay, So next song we're
gonna do Let's see Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovado.
The question is is it was like the Song of
the Summer back in whenever it was released. Dear Delandra,
how does Flynn make up to Jake for not knowing
who some random Jae Broni is? And that's what I
think you. I think you say sorry, not sorry, because
guess what, I didn't know who John Riggins was. And
I'm not sorry about it because how am I supposed
to know about a fullback that played in the seventies?
We say John Riggins. I thought Tim had a brother
and we were talking Friday night lights. So I think
you just say sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 2: Pro Football Hall of Famer as a white running back
does not get called at Jabroni, Jake.
Speaker 9: Do we know who asked that question in the chat?
Speaker 5: Listen?
Speaker 3: It was Daniel bast super Bowl you get.
Speaker 9: A thirty minute time out, but.
Speaker 2: A Super Bowl MVP, NFL Comeback Player of the Year,
first Team All Pro, two time NFL rushing touchdowns leader.
Speaker 5: Was on the nineteen eighties All Decade Team.
Speaker 2: He's in the Redskins Hall of Fame, the Football Hall
of Fame, and he had over eleven thousand rushing yards
in his NFL career.
Speaker 8: Two I mean he was good till like what I mean,
did he a thousand yards at like thirty three or
something like that?
Speaker 9: I mean he was he was incredible.
Speaker 7: Sorry, not sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 3: Wow, good for him. I'm happy for him, but I'm
not sorry about it. Hey new or should you Flynn?
Speaker 7: Hey John, Johnny boy, what have you done for me lately?
Speaker 3: Yeah? What have you done lately?
Speaker 8: I accidentally suspended Daniel Basham once.
Speaker 9: This one's not going to be an accident.
Speaker 3: Dang. And he's like the number one in the chat right.
Speaker 2: Now too well, John reggins Man thought we were talking
Friday night lights.
Speaker 3: Shout out Tim Riggins. What a great career, Yeah, what
a great career. I'm glad I learned about him, but
I'm not sorry touchdown later that I didn't know who
I was.
Speaker 2: And Pro Football Hall of Fame, it's pretty hard to
get into heard heard that.
Speaker 3: And also you should. So this is a lesson for everybody.
This is real, Dear delandro advice right now. If you
don't know something, don't act like you do, because you
are way stupider if you think like if you you
sound stupider if you think you do, and like you
try to so if if Flynn was like over here,
like yeah, John Riggins, hell yeah, and you were like
what team did he play for? And he was just like, yeah,
you would come off worse if you acted You would
come off worse if you acted like you knew who
John Riggins was. Other than just admitting I don't know
who that is, I will I'll be the first to
admit I don't know something.
Speaker 2: Did John Riggins play for? Besides the Redskins. Give you hit,
give you a hit?
Speaker 5: No, no, no? When you get him in a card break,
you're like that Jets, Jets.
Speaker 8: I looked it up, well, Jets hit like jeffs always
Brown's Bengles.
Speaker 5: Oh it's not good card hits. Yeah, you would think
the Bengals because they got a lot of good players.
Speaker 7: Have good rookie Panthers to Panthers.
Speaker 2: Panthers at least have like some hits Jonathan Brooks zaber
lyget they're not great hits with their hits.
Speaker 5: Sorry, do we have any more, dear Delandra, Yeah, I
have one more.
Speaker 3: It's not really like advice, like it's just u a uh,
just question. And I feel like I need to get
this out there because maybe I don't know the song
for this one for this question. Bath Water by no doubt, great.
Speaker 5: Song, great song. I had heard the song of that,
listen to.
Speaker 3: It all the time. No doubt is like my top
played artist on Apple Music. Dear Alandra, thoughts on bathing
compared to showering.
Speaker 5: Uh, I'm gonna be in trouble here, go ahead.
Speaker 3: I think you're kind of gross if you bathe and
then like you just sit in your dirty water and
you don't do anything after that, like take a shower
after at least, like I'm all for taking it, or
like take a shower and then take a bath, because
I'm all for relaxing in the bath I really am.
But I feel nasty and I feel like I didn't
really get clean if I just sit there and chill.
So this is a PSA. This is how I feel
about T Bob not washing his legs or feet either though,
because like you didn't really get it, Like I feel
like you're just sitting in your bath water.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, I've got our listeners know this. I've said it before.
I am a bath taker.
Speaker 5: Uh, the old bones, they feel good in there, get
the jets going.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's usually you know something that you know if
I'm like went and worked out, or I'm like sweating
my you know what off. Yeah, obviously that's a shower situation.
But these old bones like a bath.
Speaker 5: Man, I'll throw.
Speaker 7: With the bath.
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong.
Speaker 2: But if I'm in there and I'm I'm washing my
feet with soap, legs with soap, everything's getting soap. We're
not just letting the soap trickle down and that's sufficient. Yeah,
We've got some people in here that do that, and
it's a little trouble.
Speaker 8: Please either shower to actually get clean, bath relaxed, or
shower after the bath and get everything off.
Speaker 9: Of Yeah, you got to do you can't just bath.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna here's a will admission. I I agree with you,
by the way, Yes, yeah, shower that I do like
a bath relaxing. That's like saying you don't like a
hot tub, like everybody likes the hot doub.
Speaker 6: It took me a long time in life to realize that,
like even really think about it, that oh somebody you
have to clean a shower because I just thought, you know,
there's soap in there.
Speaker 7: You soap all the time.
Speaker 8: It's just it's just like, oh, dude, Victoria cleaned our shower.
She did like a deep clean on Sunday. Okay, she
comes up to me, Hey, the shower's clean. There was
like this whole thing in the corner.
Speaker 9: It's like what she's like. It was all gross. It
was like orange on the floor. You didn't notice.
Speaker 8: I was like, no, no, stand in that particular corner
of the shower now doing that. That's where my shampoo
bottles sit.
Speaker 5: We're worried about that from my ex body wash sits.
Speaker 9: Oh can't do X body not the ex body.
Speaker 7: Wash body was.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's Dear Delandra.
Speaker 5: All right, Dear Delandre. Hell yeah, segment well done. I
do like the music.
Speaker 7: But the music is good, then music is good.
Speaker 3: I need people to give me like some juicy questions,
Like I want your life's secrets and you can do
it anonymously, but like if you have, like for real,
some life stuff that you're going through, Like I want
some juicy stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like let's say.
Speaker 3: You're like your husband's cheating on you or you're cheating
on your wife or something. I want something like that.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, now, how do they anomymous?
Speaker 3: Like you don't want to know I guess make an
anonymous YouTube account.
Speaker 9: Uh the Tiger dropping.
Speaker 2: Anymous yeous like off the record, say off the record
of these people in here.
Speaker 9: Already anonymous like low Poke Rodriguez.
Speaker 3: They want so you know how we have on one
hundred point seven The Tiger Brittany Show. Off the record.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm like, why is it called off the record because
everything is very much on the record when we're talking
on your show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, people don't know that. I'm like, that is always
loved when like a reporter would be like, hey, now,
off the record.
Speaker 3: I know you're going to tell somebody Wait they didn't
mean it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, some Uh that's some Trent Crim action right there exactly.
Speaker 5: Now where are you are?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 5: Are you in the like the final season?
Speaker 8: What season does? Does Rebecca's dad die? End of two
or beginning of three?
Speaker 9: I's asking too much, I think because that was that's
the episode of watching it.
Speaker 5: Becomes he becomes an ally very much.
Speaker 8: So he was kind of an ally very much. So
like I like Trent, he just always says, hey, you
off the record.
Speaker 7: Did y'all have a Trent Krim in San Diego or Denver? Uh?
Speaker 5: San Diego?
Speaker 7: Yeah, we had one in Green Bay. We didn't not
remember his name Denver, we didn't.
Speaker 2: I can't, like, like one person doesn't stick out in Denver,
but we Kevin Acey was the guy in San Diego.
Speaker 5: Good guy, but he was.
Speaker 2: I mean, that was him, Like he was the one
guy he was gonna ask a tough questions. He's gonna
ask most of the questions. I think he actually when
the Chargers moved to la instead of moving, he just
went to the Padres. So now he's a beat writer
for the Padres. But shout out Kevin Acy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we had a guy in Green Bay that it
was just a freak.
Speaker 9: Oh wow, I have two episodes left of season two.
Speaker 6: Okay, so I can't remember his name, though, I feel
like it was just like he's probably a really nice guy.
Speaker 2: Probably just some bitter Midwestern man's when I'm envisioning, probably
like basic outfit, got everything head to toe from old Navy,
just bad three dollars haircut, went to You know, I
don't I don't want to call anybody out. What's a
bad barber? You didn't go to Saturdays and.

Speaker 5: You know it's better than one do secis dose, two
do sekis. That's right.
Speaker 2: You should always go for dose. It's never a bad time.
And right now it is like the perfect time to
go for dose. If you're enjoying that summer vacation. Schools
about to start up and so you're getting that last
minute trip in at the beach, at the lake whatever,
down by the river, not in a van, but just
enjoying the river and some cold dough sekis.

one of these.
Speaker 5: It's been a while. Where's Mike Myers? Where'd he go?
Speaker 9: He hadn't done anything in the way. Yeah, that's true.
They keep coming up with tricks.
Speaker 7: I remember seeing clips of Uh he came out recently,

Speaker 9: That's why he's doing animated.

Speaker 3: I'm trying to see the last movie it looks like

what do I do? Little did we know that's one
of the more tamer things Kanye.
Speaker 7: But over the years, little did we know, Little.
Speaker 3: Did we know he'd probably love George Bush.
Speaker 7: Now, like Mars, just a great, great Canadian.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, are there any not great? Aren't they all?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: Notoriously nice?
Speaker 7: That's what they say, That's what they say, not nicely

Speaker 3: I mean, he's a huge fan of Trudeau.
Speaker 9: He's not not nice. I just don't vibe with Seth Rogan.
Speaker 3: Oh is he Canadian?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Okay, we should do a tier list of Canadians.
Speaker 5: Wayne Gretzky number one, Brian Adams, Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 3: No, we're not. We're anti.
Speaker 9: Canadian.
Speaker 5: Hiples pretty funny.
Speaker 3: No, but member he is evil, Ken Reeves.
Speaker 5: He's Canadian. He's a big win for Canada, a big
win for Canada.
Speaker 7: Slan Dion Reynolds.
Speaker 9: Reynolds might be the one though, just like the negative
in the public eye right now.
Speaker 5: Yeahs Canadian.
Speaker 7: Yeah, some good Canadians out there. Yeah, good for them.
Speaker 5: Tear list idea best Canadian, best Canadian. We'll do it,
all right.
Speaker 2: So we haven't talked Saints today, and I know that
there's a member of the group that wants us to
talk Saints, probably pretty badly here, So let's go ahead
and do it now. Ranking the NFL receiver, tight end
and running back groups for twenty twenty five, according to
ESPN dot com, And it gives you the ranking for
this upcoming season.
Speaker 5: It gives you what it was in twenty twenty four
and also what it was in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: So going from thirty two down till we get to
the New Orleans Saints at thirty two, the Tennessee Titans
at thirty one, the Carolina Panthers at thirty the Patriots
at twenty nine, the Browns I'll started doing this.
Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, all right, we're getting.
Speaker 2: Somewhere at twenty eight, the Buffalo Bills, God bless Josh
Allen at twenty seven, the New York Jets at twenty six.
The New York Giants, witch go. I don't know about
the Giants, by the way, like that seems crazy, the
fact that they've got elite neighbors. They've got Tyrone Tracy Junior.
They've got uh Theo Johnson, who actually is a good player.
I just don't want him in the car. They got
one Del Robinson, They've got some you know enough. They
got camp Scataboo, who they drafted this year. But they're
at twenty six. At twenty five, the Chicago Bears and
Caleb Williams. Interesting, so DJ Moore, Romadonza, that's a little
did draft Luthor Burton, but he's not been there yet
because of his contract. DeAndre Swift playing running back. They
drafted Colson lovel On overall.
Speaker 7: I don't know if I agree with that one.
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty four, the Bears came in at six.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three they were seventeen, and so they
go all the way down to twenty five.
Speaker 5: I don't know either. Because you got Colson Loveland tight.
Speaker 2: End from Michigan, you drafted top ten, You've got DeAndre Swift,
you drafted Kyle Mnungai out of Rutgers, really good player,
tough runner. You drafted Luther Burdon and again contract situation,
but he'll be there. You have Roman Doomsday, you have
DJ Moore. Dj Moore is a dude.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Just the combination of Rome and DJ.
Speaker 6: And Swift that kind of puts you above twenty five,
I believe, if you're asking my opinion.
Speaker 2: And then we get to the New Orleans Saints at
twenty four, so I mean, look, all jokes aside, that's
not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
You're ahead of some teams that have some pretty decent weapons.
So it talks about your receiver room. You have Chris Olave,
you have Rashid Shahed, you add Brandon Cooks, you have
Ak in the backfield, and then you also you have
a Clyde Edwards Lair, you have a Cam Akers. You
go drafted Devin Neil from Kansas. So your running back
room looks a lot better this year than it did
a year ago. My only concern with everything they're saying
here Chris Olave concussion history, Rashid Shaheed, muscle tears, muscle pulls,
muscle whatever, because man, he's so explosive that happens with
a player like that. Brandon Cooks, He's a well traveled vet.
He's been in the game a long time. I mean,
what twenty fourteen I think was his rookie year. Yep,
because I think the year I was in camp with
the Saints was his rookie year.
Speaker 9: He's what thirty one thirty two now?
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, looking, and he's got a lot of
miles on that bod. I mean he's he's been through
some injuries, he's played a long time. He's been involved
in the game plan his entire career when he has
been in there. But like to start out a season,
to start out a game, I get it. You do
have three good options at receiver now tight end. You
signed Juwan Johnson to a big deal. You have Boston
Morrow coming back like Taysom Miill's going to miss the
time because he got injured at the latter portion of
last year. So the weapons aren't bad. The running back
room looks much better to me in the totality of
the group. But man, you are one injury away from having,
as we said last year, uber drivers out there at.
Speaker 7: Z d X.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm listening to your name off that list, and
I mean you listed off some pretty good teams. The
Bills being at twenty nine or thirty or something like
that is shocking to me.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you look at the receiver room though,
it's like, what did Kean Coleman really do last year?
Speaker 9: I mean their best guy was Khalilk believe it or not,
that was the that.
Speaker 5: Was got Dad.
Speaker 2: They got two good they got They signed Joshua Palmer
from the Chargers, got three.
Speaker 6: His name the running layer, James Cook's great King Kid
and Knox are really good tight end duel.
Speaker 2: You got Ray Davis too. I have running back from
Kentucky that played well last year.
Speaker 5: As a rookie.
Speaker 6: Well, one of the top teams in the NFL. You
would you're just kind of shocked if you hear any
of their position groups or groups to be that low.
Which is but you know, good for the Saints fans,
we we are ahead, and of course these rankings being
absolutely squat for this year, but it's a reflection.
Speaker 7: On the talent you have been, what you've kind of
done in the past.
Speaker 6: So you know, twenty fourth, I guess the two words
that would describe that as not bad, Well.
Speaker 5: Here okay, and so here's what I mean.
Speaker 2: So Chris Alave's backup is bub Means, all right, Bud
Means was a fifth round selection, good college player, don't
know what he's going to be as a pro. Didn't
see a lot last year. Brandon Cooks back up is
Kevin Austin Jr.
Speaker 5: Who is that? Good question?
Speaker 2: Rashid Chi He's back up, all right is Cedric Wilson junior.
Sedrick Wilson was a good NFL player, steady NFL player.
It's been some years since he's been at his peak
in the NFL. Other names you got, You know Dante Pettis,
who was out of football before he came back, and
he had flashes last year, but he was out of
football for a while before the Saints signed him. You
got Mason Tipton, who I had to hear about all
training camp long because he's going to be a breakout star. No,
he's just a guy in training camp that every team
has every single year, takes over training camp, gets a
roster spot, and you don't really hear.
Speaker 5: From him again.
Speaker 2: I hope, I hope we do. I hope I and
raise my handback. I was wrong about Mason Tipton. I
don't think I will be Donovan Peebles Jones in a
long time since we've really heard anything of note from him.
So that's my point is I like a lave Cooks
and Shaheed that's great, but it's Means and Austin Junior
and Wilson Junior and Tipton and Pettis that you don't
love with the injury history that the first three receivers
that we've talked about, because all three of those guys
have had major injuries in their career.
Speaker 5: Behind Ak, it does look better.
Speaker 2: It's Kendre Miller if he can get his head on
straight and you know, be fully involved, Devin Neil, clyde Erwards,
d Layer cam Akers. I even like Marcus Yarns. It's
somebody that is an underrective free agent, but he had
a hell of a Senior Bowl coming from Delaware.
Speaker 5: I think he's a good player.
Speaker 6: Let me ask you just take a just from an athlete,
a former football player's mindset and standpoint. You talk about
the injuries which were such a big deal last year,
and especially with this receiving group. We have the talent
with the top guys, just like you said, but if
we're one injury away from you know, really trying to
like grab for straws on that. But you go into
a season where head coaching change, you're not doing good.
There's not success when you get hurt in a situation
like that, what incentive like mentally, whether it's subconscious or consciously,
how hard are you really pushing to get back from
an injury and get yourself well to get on the
field in a terrible situation, you know there's going to
be a wholesale change on the whole staffy.
Speaker 7: You know you're not good.
Speaker 6: What are you going out there and risking more injury
and more turmoil to your future contracts? I would say
there was probably not a lot so And you see
the veterans out there sometimes get hurt and they're like, man,
but why would I fight to get back on the
field when we're not going to make the playoffs or
this or that.
Speaker 7: Now. No, I know they're paying you a lot of
money and you're under contract to go do a job.
But still.
Speaker 6: Most football players play hurt the entire season at some point.
You're never the first day of training camp is the
only day where you're not going to be in pain.
Speaker 7: Of some sort.
Speaker 6: Now, playing hurt and playing hindered is a completely different thing.
But nobody's ever completely healthy. But if there's no incentive,
like last year, it was an awful situation. It was
an awful to be a Saints fan to watch them,
and I'm sure it wasn't much better inside that locker room.
So when you are injured, how fast could how much
did they emphasis did they either subconsciously or constually put
it actually getting back on the field. I'm not saying
they didn't. I'm just saying raising the question here. We Yes,
we have struggle with injuries. But if you're in a
better situation, if you like the coach, you're playing for,
the offense, you think you can succeed, you're going to
push yourself a little bit harder to get back on
the field.
Speaker 5: It's a good point.
Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes the organizations like, hey, we've won
five games, we're in week sixteen.
Speaker 5: I'd love for you to be back. I know you
want to be back. Well let's don't come back.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just Joe.
Speaker 2: You know, Chris Alave, you've had con cush and you know,
do we want to risk another concussion in Week seventeen
of a season that's already lost.
Speaker 5: Those are conversations we don't know.
Speaker 7: But we do know.
Speaker 2: They've had injuries and it has been a part of
their history in their career, and when you're counting on
them to stay healthy, that is worrisome. You'll like the
initial weapons, but you don't like what happens if those
weapons go down. All right, real quick, we'll give you
the top five here. Coming in at number five is
the La Rams. Coming in at number four, it is
the San Francisco forty nine ers. At number three, it
is the Cincinnati Bengals. At number two, it is the
Detroit Lions. And at number one, anybody will take guests.
Speaker 9: Eagles, Yeah, I mean it's gotta be right.
Speaker 5: Philadelphia Eagles number one.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four they were number two, and twenty
twenty three they were number three. Sakwan Barkley, got's pretty good.
AJ Brown, Davonte Smith, guys are all pretty decent.
Speaker 5: Scott Scots pretty good at tight end.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're pretty stacked. I hate to say it, it's
not that exciting when they're good.
Speaker 5: The Eagles.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Eagles, Gosh, they are good. I would expect
them to make another run this year.
Speaker 5: Ye, yeah, they got like the well now look I
mean they do have you know, new coaches.
Speaker 2: You lose your O C, your quarterback coach. But look
they've they've been there, done that. Shane Stike in like
he was there, they were great. He leaves, they're still good.
So they've created something pretty special. There, got a great culture. Great.
Speaker 6: I don't know what it is about them. It was
just boring when they were making the run. Them being
in the super was just kind of boring to me.
I don't know why, just because they were they were
dominant all year.
Speaker 2: They're like a team that's going to bring their lunch
bill to work and they're just going to find a
way and it's going.
Speaker 6: To be they They didn't really have anybody that was
like entertaining off the field. Really, this wasn't I mean,
I agree, like super boring, not in a bad ways.
That's exactly if if I was at his level at
some point, that's how I would be.
Speaker 9: Need more drama from AJ Brown.
Speaker 2: Receivers always had guys are asking for more drama. They
actually did it the right way.
Speaker 7: No, yeah, but the right way boring reality TV.
Speaker 5: He could be a turk because he's the best running
back on the planet. But he's not.
Speaker 2: That's just like I'm jump over somebody backwards and keep
on rolling, and just that'd be a big deal.
Speaker 8: I think five years ago that division, how bad it was.
Look at it now. The Commanders made the NFC Championship.
Philly's dominant. The Giants had just got a brand new
quarterback that they spent a first round pick on. And
then there's that other team, Cowboys. I mean, you know,
if you're a fan of that team, good luck to
you this year.
Speaker 7: The Cowboys win it.
Speaker 5: There's no shot.
Speaker 7: Matt Cowboys, Matt.
Speaker 9: They could remember when I said four years ago how
division was.
Speaker 7: It would be fun.
Speaker 9: They didn't win it that year.
Speaker 5: Wants the Cowboys to do well except Taylor.
Speaker 7: It would be fun because we could talk about it.
We worked.
Speaker 5: I want to talk about this. We could wear doctors
in here.
Speaker 9: Chargers should be higher on this list.
Speaker 7: You just hear less about the Chargers than they do
the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, nobody. The Cowboys are the most cared about
team in the NFL. So that says something. That something right.
Speaker 5: That's an obvious statement.
Speaker 7: They're doing something right.
Speaker 5: Where are the Chargers on this list?
Speaker 9: They're twenty sixteen, they're twenty four.
Speaker 7: They're sixteen at everything, they need.
Speaker 8: To be higher because if you're projecting like where they're
twenty two, I mean.
Speaker 5: Where they came in last year though thirty two, I
get it.
Speaker 8: Now, they way out performed that. You got better at
running back with two players, not just one. True and like,
look at your three receivers. McConkey was a stud, Trey
Harris was great at all.
Speaker 5: Miss Mike Williams comes back.
Speaker 8: Mike Williams comes back. Quentin Johnston's still there. He was
actually better than people thought. And then Harris and Amari
and Hampton. I mean, that's that's really good. Conklin, I
believe they got from the Jets tight end position. So
look we'll see.
Speaker 2: I think they're I think they're hating on Ladarius. Ladarius
McConkie will continue.
Speaker 7: To nobody wants lad They pop off more than me
us too.
Speaker 3: We're holding onto a lot of cards because I like
when he brings the boom.
Speaker 2: Yeah he does, he does that, And I'd like to
come and continue to make fun of for saying he
wouldn't be a good in the NFL.
Speaker 9: Will fall off from the bring the boom guys.
Speaker 3: Huh Now, I still see the risks they they had their.
Speaker 5: Run though, Yeah, anything like that.
Speaker 2: It's like a fifteen minutes of fame. And now they'll
go to like card shows across the country and they'll
bring the boom and they'll make thousands of dollars bringing
the boom, and they'll do that forever we bring them, Yeah,
forever they'll be able to say that the guy is
going to be a thirty eight year old grown man,
probably have a little bit of a belly. It's gonna
be okay, it's gonna be a good, solid belly, and
he's just gonna walk into these trade shows and he's
gonna bring the boom and they're gonna give him a
check for a couple thousand bucks.
Speaker 3: I saw picture of the ruler the other day. Forever
is any part of that though?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 9: So he's not to bring the.
Speaker 3: Boom, No, he's not, but he's like part of the.
Speaker 9: Groups, like their cousin or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, let's take a break more O TV.
Look at that tey a full Saints segment.
Speaker 7: Just profession twelve hundred and fifty yards this year.
Speaker 5: What do you think over over I don't know did
draft tight hars.
Speaker 7: He's got this, Lottie.
Speaker 5: Do you know how many yards Ladarius had last year?
Speaker 7: I'm gonna guess one thousand and seven.
Speaker 5: Forty nine.

This is off the Bench with Hester and Flynn, Matt
and Rouge's go to for all things Louisiana sports.
Speaker 5: All right, let's test the landra. It is now time
for Tata's NFL Story of the Day.
Speaker 10: Day.
Speaker 1: Oh, look at that, it's time for Tait's NFL Story
of the Day. Day, your daily dose of NFL news
from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 8: Awful news out of the NFL guys Quarterback Season two
came out yesterday.
Speaker 9: Everyone's enjoying it.
Speaker 8: Burrow's entertaining, Jared Golf's entertaining. Cousins is on there talking about, Hey,
I was kind of blindsided with the draft pick of
Michael Pennock's Yeah, no, kitting, We kinda figure that up.
But that's not the big news, Joe Burrow. If you
guys remember in December, it was reported that he had
finalized they purchase on a fully functioning replica Batmobile.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he had to cancel that. Oh, he was worried, well,
he was worried.
Speaker 8: He said he didn't end up getting the Batmobile because
he had other things he wanted to deal with at
that point, right when the sale was set to finalize,
his house was broken into December in Cincinnati. Remember they
were on the road in Dallas to play the Cowboys.
Like it happened to him, it happened to Mahomes, happened
to Kelsey, like there was a strand of them and
Joe Burrow maybe sometime in the future, but will not
be cruising up to games in the Batmobile. Just devastating
news out of Cincinnati. I am worried for the psyche
of that locker room now that Joe Burrow cannot have
the replica Batmobile. But he said, we'll see if I
end up getting it, or maybe I'll just move to
a different spot. He said, it wasn't very fun to
deal with, so we're gonna put that on the back burner.
Speaker 9: And for what it's worth, he purchased that.
Speaker 8: Batmobile seven point five million dollars, So he said, yeah,
he saved a good bit of money.
Speaker 6: So on the road you learned that your privacy was tarnished,
your house was broken into, possessions stolen, people just broke
into your safe place.
Speaker 2: So and there's some personal life stuff that got exposed
a little bit there.
Speaker 7: Canceled the girl.
Speaker 2: He had been with his girlfriend for a long time,
and then all that started to kind of dust up,
I mean, and Landra was all over that. If you
remember what when Joe's home got broken into, it wasn't
the home invasion.
Speaker 5: It was there was an Olivia that was at the house,
but not the Olivia that he had been dating for
a very very long time. And that's how the world
kind of knew that they had broken up.
Speaker 3: Can you imagine. I gotta tell you that, like you
wake up to news that your ex boyfriend is dating
somebody with the same name as you.
Speaker 8: My wife named Victoria, girl I dated right before. Also Victoria.
Speaker 2: Dang, that's actually weird. That's not a common name. I
don't feel like not anymore, or a Victoria thing.
Speaker 9: I don't know, I know a lot of them. I
think Burrow made a mistake here.
Speaker 8: They were canceling the purchase, not because the batmobile is awesome,
which it is. I'm not breaking into someone's house that
has a batmobile sitting on the outside, because who the.
Speaker 9: Hell is inside?
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow, Bruce Wayne, That's what I'm saying, Like, what
if it's actually Batman?
Speaker 2: About how interesting he found fossils and bones and different
things talking about that's what That's.
Speaker 5: What he said. He's like, why would we not be
talking about?
Speaker 7: Yes, like he didn't want to be a paleontologist when.
Speaker 2: They were There's things like millions of years old and
can you imagine the things that it's been through and seeing.
Speaker 6: The bones probably haven't seen a lot, but yeah, they're
part of a dinosaur, which is awesome.
Speaker 5: He talked about going to the National.
Speaker 2: History Music History right, Yeah, he got like the like
the b I P Tour stuff that's not out there, so.
Speaker 9: Shout out Joe actually comes to life at night?
Speaker 5: Was that like I didn't ask I didn't. I didn't
ask him last time I saw him? He didn't. He
didn't mention it in the in the doc Last.
Speaker 3: Time you saw him? Did you like show him a
extru me and you're like this girl, she's single and
she really likes you.
Speaker 7: Ready to mingle.
Speaker 9: She's single and ready to mingle.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the last time I saw the last
time I saw Joe, he was still with Olivia one. Right, Yeah,
so that didn't come up in conversation. But next time
I see him, I'm like, so, Joe, I got this producer.
She is very available, very single, extremely she is not
obsessed with you. I promise it's gonna sound a little weird,
but I think you should hang out.
Speaker 9: She's not obsessed with you.
Speaker 8: By the way, she says, your new living room furniture
looks great from the house across the street.

Speaker 5: It's okay, though, we'll react to it tomorrow. That's the bench.
Speaker 2: Jacob, what was your favorite play again, jack Wright scat right?
And what's Flynn's favorite place sound like in the huddle?
My favorite play was Jack Right scat right ninety nine
stop cross Jack Wright is the formation.
Speaker 5: It means the tight end and the fullback. We're both
to the right side.
Speaker 2: I was off set in the I formation and just
kind of like an offset eye and Scott right would
be your protection ninety nine stop F cross M or
your routes and so I was the f and so
I had a cross route, which the Texas Route, Waco route.
Speaker 5: A lot of people call it different an angle route.
Speaker 2: The ball usually found me because everybody was worried about
Gates during that play. They would all clear out with him,
turn their back to the offense, and I'd go kind
of right underneath it. I caught like thirty of those
I think in my career loved it. I knew if
I heard jack Wright Scott right on my.
Speaker 5: Whole baby finish it off, Pete Rivers, let me hear it.
Speaker 6: Oh man, there's so many to choose what I never
was in a like you hear the wordy play calls
Likeael Peyton will give you like forty words or whatever.
Speaker 7: Man I was. I was simple, man, I liked I
liked simple.
Speaker 5: Peyton short like it was a lot.
Speaker 2: It was short when I when I was in it was, man,
it was so code wordy and so like this one
code word means a lot of things. You just got
to memorize it, right, I mean, I hate to go
be a tar hill. Brady o'hall said, you're thinking god
he shoot.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was just how about this one?
Speaker 6: Just trips right trips right two jet, I'll go special hinge,
I'll go special Puma trips right uh two jet uh
pivot y middle was a good change up to all
go special two jets.
Speaker 7: Your protection two jet, three jet, you.
Speaker 5: Could do two jet like your sub sub protection like.
Speaker 6: A jet is a classic like West Coast six man protection.
So you call a MIC and the lineman slid four
down to the four down to the will pretty much.
Speaker 2: So what was your sub protection when the line just
had they had four down a MIC and the running
back had everybody else.
Speaker 7: We didn't have that. Everybody else left right.
Speaker 5: They didn't have left right, y'all didn't have a cross scan.
Speaker 6: I mean you would have basically you like two jet,
you would have to like they would. They could cross
scan to four. They didn't have either Will or Mike.
They would cry. They would scan the four. And when
I say four, I mean a dB one of the
four DB's.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean we we definitely like we'd have,
you know, doubles right and it'd be key right, key
left whatever that society started. But the line would have
four down and the Mike linebacker, and I would have
the Nickelson, the corner, the free safety, the strong safety,
the backside Will and the backside corner.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's old school.
Speaker 5: We talk about having to like really.
Speaker 6: I think every I think every offense has that in
its like base installed, but we never really ran it,
so we would go four down to Will, so we
declared Mike. So we put Mike to Sam. So you
never wanted the You never wanted up scanning. Yeah, you
never wanted him scanning to a back like you could
scan to a corner or a safety blitz and we
called that number four. So you're gonna you got your protection.
So your mic to Sam, but you gotta scan backside
for four if there's a corner blitz that come. But
the quarterback should also kind of alerty. He's gonna like
point like if he thinks something's coming, he's gonna remind
you it was never I'm looking left to right for
a MIC or a Sam.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm yeah.
Speaker 3: Easy, I'm gonna know exactly what y'all.
Speaker 5: Are talking abou Yeah, I'll do after the show will
