Speaker 1: All start to you to presents. Off the bench with
Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert. Off the bench with
Jacob Hester and Bob aber Now here's Jacob Hester and
T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: I'm supping and y'all welcome back. Go TV. Right now,
it's time to talk to you our good Nick Underhill
of New Orleans Dot Football, Nick.
Speaker 3: Underscore Underhell on Twitter, Nick, what's up?
Speaker 2: Brother? What's going on? Hey?
Speaker 4: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Guys?
Speaker 4: How you doing?
Speaker 2: How about? How are you doing? How is life in
the PC era of the New Orleans Saints? Postcard?
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 2: Post cards not political? I just realized I stumbled into
like a political I mean, is what I meant?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it feels good. It feels better, it feels lighter,
it feels hopeful. It feels like there's possibilities and there's
not limitations. And you know, but the thing is is
they're probably gonna be bad. The question from here is
are they going to be bad and hopeful or bad
and hopeless? And I think a lot of that's going
to turn down Tyler Shuck. And if he's you know,
if he's good and you win four games, you might
end the season and feel like you're the Patriots. You
know that Patriots were not a good team last year,
but they feel like they're in a good position. Yeah,
you know, if you win four games and you don't
feel like you have anything possible at quarterback, you're probably
in a bad spot. But I think even the thing
with that is is you'd be back in striking distance
again to maybe draft somebody. So I like where they're
I like how it feels right now. That might be
a hugely regretful comment in a few months, but today,
as it says, you know, A, I do think they're
a worse team. I think their most talented quarterback is
no longer on the roster. But b I think they
are in the place they should be. And it's kind
of interesting because I felt like this was probably like
about a three years soft Paradown rebuild. Last year was
year one. They didn't really sign anyone. You know, they
were at the crossroads this year. Either it was it
was cut car and not be able to do anything,
or keep car and be able to do some things,
and somehow they accelerated like year three in the year
two with how this all played out. So it's like
it's like they're they're they're they're basically at the end
of this rebuild next year. It's pretty clean. So yeah,
I feel like I feel like they're in a good
spy right now.
Speaker 2: So I mean and I mean, look, it's it's really
for real now a new era of like this is
the actual first I think post Sean Payton year for
the New Orleans Saints. Help me out with this though, Nick,
because the dead money next year, isn't that the last
the big bill to pay? So what you're gonna split
cars fifty among two years, but then a lot of
these vets, like who knows if they'll be back or not.
Couldn't you be looking at potentially like one hundred million
dollars in dead money next season?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, it's it's it's not done completely
with the cop This year is nineteen million for car.
Next year it's it's at thirty one million. So that
that's how those cap charges all will split up. And yeah,
there's a few guys that could end up leaving them.
But if they don't spend any more money, you got
twenty seven million dollars right now to roll over to
next year, and I think they will spend a little more.
I would bet, like it's Sante Samuel Junior ends up
being on the team, they'll be a little bit over
the cop going into next offseason and and some of
that stuff will go up a little bit, but it's
it's it's basically done, like as long as you don't
make any more reckless decisions, you don't do anything for
short term stuff and and yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean
that's fair, but yeah, I think they're basically thee of it.
I think, wow, I think they got forced into this
rebuild to go all the way into it, to kind
of accelerate it. And it is kind of amazing when
you look at it, and it's a circumstance, not a plan,
but somehow they managed to get both things. They got
both scenarios. With Car it was it was you could
cut them and you got no money. There'd be no
Justin Reed, no Chase Young, no Juwan Johnson, no no Biling,
no Dylan Raisin's like, there would have been no money
to do anything if you just come straight up or
you know, there was the other pie, and somehow they
combined the two in one very weird scenario. And I
don't know how it happened. I don't know how it
worked out. Someone on our website called it like the
plot for Draft Day two, because like it's just so
so unbelievable, and I mean it really is, like they
managed to make the most improbable circumstance play out here.
And I mean, granted they got they got lucky, but
given the circumstances, they navigated it pretty well. And uh,
you know, this multi year thing, like now this kind
of got accelerated down to one manageable piece and they're
in a much better situation because and it's funny too,
Like the fallout from this is if you just move
on from car Does Cam Jordan agree to a pay cut?
Does Tyron Matthew agree to a pay cut? Or or
those big bills that you're trying to manage and do
you have to restructure them at their full cost? Because
I mean, I don't think. I don't know, Like I
might be wrong, but I don't know if Cam Jordan
wants to be here with you know, given the choice
the last cheer of his career, is he wanted to
spend it in a place that that looks like he's
gonna win four or five games? Would you have wanted
to go and try to win a title? Does does
Tyron want to go somewhere where you're in a better like,
So all these things kind of played out around it
that I think led to the best possible circumstance, and
at the end of it, you end up with without
Derek Carr and without his money, and it just shouldn't
have been able to happen the way it did.
Speaker 5: How shocked were the people like inside the building though, Like,
did they think this was ever a possibility? Or would
they probably playing out the other seventy two things that
potentially could end up happening for the New Orleans Saints, Like,
I can't imagine Nick, that many people inside the building
thought that they would get blessed this gift.
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so either. I mean, look, Kellen
Moore kind of made it clear that it was something
that kind of came together over like a matter of days.
It wasn't like this happened in March and they knew
he was going to retire. Like it was weird, it
was contentious, it was it was you know, I thought
it was headed to a bad place for sure.
Speaker 3: Were there stretch of aggrievance the same Carr.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know nobody. Here's the thing
with it, Like they got to like an ending where
I feel like everyone felt okay with it, and you know,
reading the press release, it kind of felt like, man,
like did he give back to thirty million? And like
he chose the language and the like. It just seemed
like very amicable, favorable, like just get out of here,
like go ahead, go live your life. August. If Derek
Carr goes to play football for another team, would I
be surprised by it? I don't. I don't think so.
A year from now, would I'd be surprised, not at all.
So I think the Saints would try to hold on
those rights. I doubt it. Like it just kind of
feels like it was one of these things where like
everybody was like, all right, this is the best thing
it can exit. It doesn't have to be ugly. But look,
I don't I don't know anyone that gets hurt on
a football field and says, you know what, like, man,
that end of my career. I ended it for you guys.
I was trying to get a first down, my shoulder
had a career ending injury, and I'm just going to
get back all the money and walk away, and I
just wish you the best, but I'm going to be
the one that's put out here and loses everything. I
don't know that things have ever played out like that.
Maybe Derek Carr is a very a very special person.
Maybe maybe his principles or stronger and better than anybody
else's that I've ever met in my life, you know,
But it seems like there was still more to the story.
But it just kind of felt like it got to
a nunning that everybody's okay with and they're all just
going to walk away from it. Yeah, I mean, I
maybe I'm being overly cynical, but yeah, I'm still looking
at it with with the with the funny look like
something doesn't smell right here.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you agree with kind of Ross Tucker's
read on the situation that this is almost a settlement
of sorts, uh, even as opposed to retirement.
Speaker 4: That's kind of that's kind of how it feels. I mean,
looks the whole thing, the whole thing is just weird, right.
I Mean, like if you if you injure your shoulder
in in December, you don't try to throw it until
march Like that doesn't make sense to me, right, Like, yeah,
well like when I got when I got COVID and
I lost like my ability to smell. I was like
walking around like stiffing a candle every two hours to
see if it works, you know what I mean, Like
if you get a sword tooth, like you're sticking your
talking there to see if it still hurts. Like it's
just a lot of a lot of it doesn't make
add up, you know, and maybe maybe maybe it is
all exactly is it is as they say it is
and all that. But I mean I think any sant
and logical person is still looking at this thing and
being like ah, man, like I don't know, Like there's
a couple of loose ends here that just don't really
don't really pass the smell test. Let me sniff that candle,
like it just doesn't. It doesn't make sense on a
lot of fronts. But it's over, and you know, I
think Derek can go off and go do whatever he wants.
I think the stands are in a great position. I'm
happy they got forced into this because you know, really,
really the whole, the whole place that they're at with
this rebuild, it isn't where they were. It just never
felt like they were going here willingly. It didn't feel
like they wanted to move on, you know, from from
the coaching situation, the QB situation, given up on trying
to win, the the NFC stuff, and I that I
think they're giving up, but I think their ability to
chase it is severely altered. And I think all this
stuff needed to happen to kind of get in this
fresh reset and it just feels better. Like tell them
Moore is the coach, Tyler Shuck is the quarterback, all
the all the connections to the other thing are clear. Tabop,
I think you put it great, like saying it's kind
of the first year of the post Sean era. Yeah,
I mean, it really does feel that way, and and
it it just it just feels like they got there
a lot quicker, and it felt like they were going
to head there but it was going to take longer
and the faster is better. At this point, I'm ready
for him to be bad on purpose, and you know,
I think a lot of people are like, as long
as at the end of it, it feels like you
made some good decisions in this draft. I think you're
in Okay, maybe even a good place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like both tackles work out and the
quarterbacks Okay, okay, those are three held quarterstones. What about
Shuck though, what's the uh? What's the what's the biggest
takeaways from from Rooky Minichamp in our first times getting
eyes on him?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: The biggest takeaways besides that he's very tall, because that
seems to be the most commented on, uh attribute of
Tyler Shuck thus far.
Speaker 4: Number one. I mean, I think he just carries himself
really well, like being twenty five and in some senses,
I think or a positive attribute just in the way,
like there's just like a maturity when you look at
him on the field, there's a mature already when you
talk to them, there's just there's a maturity there that
that you know when you're there's a big difference between
being twenty one and twenty five, Like yeah, it just
is like, yeah, when you're twenty one, you're still an idiot.
Like when you're twenty five, you're like trying not to
be an idiot, and you're aware when you are an idiot.
Like so I think I think that's a good positive attribute.
I think being around a lot of football, maybe not
a ton of on field experience of being around a
ton of football helps you know. They do the snaps
where you're under center and there's a fluidity to him
being able to take a snap that a lot of
rookies when they come in, it's just like, wow, they
really did play all their snaps in shotgun and and
you see that. But the biggest takeaway for me and
there's there's no real defense, like it's just a drill. Yeah,
one play, we got forty five minutes of it. The
one thing you see that makes you, you know, Kirk
up a little bit is going to be that you're
gonna make way too much of it. So I say
that to say, like I'm about to overblow this. But
there was a couple of drills. There was one where
they like, you know, they got the pads on the
round and you're running over them and there's five pads
and it's going from the middle of the field to
the left style line and he goes over these paths. Well,
first Hunter Deckers goes over it and it looks okay
like he's an athlete. He goes and throw the ball
wobbles a little bit, like it's not not on a
line or anything. Throw the ball to the front corner
of the end zone, like shut goes over it, and
it was just like so fluid. He makes to throw
across his body of the platform, more arm angle. It's
a dark He hits like right at the cone in
the in the in the corner of the end zone,
and it kind of made you go like, oh my god,
you know, because like it's just it popped. Like that
was the first moment where it was Okay, there's a
differentiator between him and this other guy on the field.
Like before that, they're throwing back to back, one right
handed one left handed raps on air. You know, it
looks pretty similar, like Tyler has a better arm, but
it's pretty similar. But then you see that and it's
like wow, like this is what you saw on film
and that's the Notre Dame throw. And then like they
go into like bootlegs and RPOs and like those movement
skills pared with the ability to throw on the move
is just a little bit different than what we've been
seeing around here. Obviously, I think everything with him, though,
I think all camp we're gonna be like, man, he
looked good. He made good decision, he did this, he
did that. But I think I think the thing with him,
it's going to be like how he handles pressure in
a game, and I think his whole entire career is
gonna you know, hinge on that one singular point and
it's probably not going to show up in practice. It's
going to be any standing there. Can he take the hits?
Does he panic? Does he throw the ball away? That
was kind of the stuff that went you know, sideways
on his college film. Everything else looked great. I mean, like, yeah,
his ability to move, his ability to run, all that stuff,
Like he's a much better athlete than they've had at
that position. And also yes, he is very very taugh.
Speaker 5: Hey, walk us through what you think the offensive line
left or right is going to look like. Because you've
got multiple, multiple first round picks. I'm assume McCoy being
a second round pick there right in the middle at
the center position. But when you draft a tackle in
the first round, when you've already got two other first
round tackles, like, maybe there's an opportunity to move some
those guys around. So not maybe today, because I think
today is different than in September, But when you start
the season in September, what do you think left or right?
Speaker 4: It's going to look like it's an amazing question. That's
probably about twelve people this, you know, over the last
month since the draft, and I've gotten many different answers,
but they all kind of follow into three buckets. And
you know, obviously one of them is banks that left,
Fuaga right, put put them in their natural positions and
kind of kind of roll from there. Steve kind of
can win a job on the inside if not go
to ratings. The other one is, you know, play play
keeps Guaga left, play him a right. You know that
that's an option. And then the one I kind of
like and and I'm such a hypocrite because, like my
whole rant going into the draft is like, you can't
draft the guard that high. But I think for a year,
one year, just one year, if you keep him the guard,
I feel like you miscalculated the value unless he becomes
a Hall of Famer, But for one year, I feel
like everything you do right now should be about Tyler
Shuck in his development. Every single decision you make, if
it means trading somebody in your QB room to get
a veteran QBN to be his caddy because you think
he needs that. I think you just go all in
on everything to make him better. And I think the
best line is the best five. And I just feel
like Trevor Penning is probably one of the best five
guys on the team. Yeah, and I feel like Trevor
Peenning can only play one position position. Yeah, you leave
him at that position, you move Banks to the left guard,
if you leave Fuaga where he's at, you have a
strength on the left side of the line. You let
Schuck know, hey, you can roll out to the left
every time. It's gonna be strong right there. You're gonna
have two guys there that you can trust every single snap,
and you get your best five out there for a
season and many year from now. You get Banks in
his natural position, you get fuagg in his natural position,
and you kind of build from there. But I feel
like he's given the pieces they have. I think that's
gonna end up being the best possible five, and I
wouldn't be mad at it for a year. But if
Banks is a long term guard, I mean that kind
of stucks at that draft spot.
Speaker 2: Talking Nick Underhill, Nick Underscore Underhill, ne Orans on Football
is the site I've been a proud subscriber for many,
many years. If you want to stay on top of
the New Orleans Saints, New Orleans on Football is a
great the best resource to do so with Nick. Last
one for me, did Tyler Schuck really get a flat
tire or in a pothole? Or is is this a
bit of doing too much? Because he's been the coach
up very well that the opening meal at Dragos you
know I'll die on the field is the pothole flat
tire reel.
Speaker 4: Whether it's real or not, that's almost look if it's
If it's fake, I almost would respect it more than
it being a real story. If he cares enough to
find out that this is a New Orleans type thing
to go through, that that everybody's gotten a flat tire,
and he gain planned his first introductory truth friends, I
feel like he can be well prepared for everything. If
you care about that detail, you are going to care
about identifying everything in the opposing defense, I hope you lied.
I want that to be a fake story, but I
kind of feel like it's not because I am aligned
with you know people that that sell cars and I
there there there was a service ticket.
Speaker 7: So of course you found out the service.
Speaker 2: That's why you subscribed to the Worlds of Football right there? Wow,
actually chased it down. Oh my god, let's go dude. Yes,
nice work, Nick Underhill.
Speaker 5: I mean I had a follow up, but nothing's going
to top that. So we're done.
Speaker 2: Taking a break. Nick, you're the best man. You have
an excellent day, my friend. Than Nick, chase down the
surface and saw a service ticket.
Speaker 7: Well done, sir, I mean that's You're not gonna get
that anywhere else. Nope, nope, shut out Nick.

chaos off the bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 3: What's happening y'all? Welcome back, otb seventh pick.
Speaker 2: Seventh pick ah and here a laundra is getting up
with the honesty to the company and Wimby which I
don't even know how that would work together.
Speaker 3: Just be like.
Speaker 8: Inflatable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the modern NBA version of the Twin
Towers when you had Robinson and duncan on. Instead of
being physical, they're like rangy and loopy.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the like you said, perfect the wacky inflatable arm man.
Even though do you keep uh? Do you manage to
hold who's the other rook of the year?
Speaker 2: Not so Chin? Who won it? The Castle?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you keep him or no? He's got to be
gone and you keep Castle.
Speaker 6: He was a rookie last year.
Speaker 2: No, I know. But you're saying he's not gone in
a honist deal.
Speaker 8: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 6: I think you trade the second pick.
Speaker 8: You trade the second pick?
Speaker 2: Well, aren't you miss have your cake and eat it too.
You want to keep both rookies of the years and
get Jannis to the compo?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think you can do it.
Speaker 2: Why why would they ever agree to that?
Speaker 6: But if you get the number two pick in Jeremy
so hand for I'm making that deal, I like.
Speaker 8: Yes, Jeremy Sohn would work, But I would love to
keep Jaredy. You can you know what?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 3: I would Okay, Well you want to go toilet.
Speaker 6: I don't think they do that.
Speaker 5: Actually, Devin Besell So the athletic put together. They put
together a three team trade between the Spurs, the Bucks
and the Pelicans, where Giannis goes to San Antonio, Zion
goes to Milwaukee with you know, first round picks, and
then Miselle actually goes to the Pelicans and they get
a first round pick too.
Speaker 6: No, no, it's.
Speaker 3: Everybody into a good player to Repelican Devin.
Speaker 2: The Cell is good, not compared to Zion Williamson.
Speaker 8: Zion doesn't even play.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 8: This is the one will give you way more games.
Speaker 7: You played sixty four games this year, exty four.
Speaker 6: It takes Zion three years to play.
Speaker 7: Average sixteen points per game.
Speaker 6: He's a solid player.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shot forty you're gonna get more value out of
the Cell than you will. You are not going to
guess like me into being like Okay, let's turn Zion
Williamson into Devin Viselle.
Speaker 6: Well you're look, I'm saying he's a solid player. I'm
not saying I would make that trade.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying Zion Williamson is the one time where
I think the Pelicans have to engage in the sunken
cost fallacy Taylor. I am going to pod committed. If
he goes somewhere else and succeeds, that's when the franchise
actually just ends.
Speaker 3: Ye can't have it.
Speaker 5: Next they tell you I'm gonna send you this proposed
maybe like mock trade on the athletes.
Speaker 2: What's Fletcher mackel been doing well? No, no, no, no.
Speaker 7: As much as we love Fletch, we can't trust him
when it comes to trade.
Speaker 2: The fake trade. Fletcher mackele tweets are unbelievable. I'm gonna
check real quick see if he's got me up right now.
Surely the talk of a three team trade had him
hot and horny yesterday.
Speaker 5: But apparently like the Pelicans are in on Giannis as well,
like Zion for Giannis and some different things like that
is a real thing that I have seen all over
the place.
Speaker 2: Now, that would be sick. I just don't think there's
any way. Janice to the compos like I want to win,
Let's go to New Orleans.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that does have Fletcher I don't have. I don't
have sound on right now.
Speaker 5: But he's got one of those selfie sticks and he
is walking with the selfie stick explaining Giannis to the Pelicans.
Speaker 2: He did tweets, did tweet this an hour ago. So
the Saints did not get an international game, but he said, reminder,
many in the Saints organization expect a Saints player regular.
She's game in Paris in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 5: There you go, t Bob, that is the athletic in
how you get Jannis to the Spurs with the Pelicans involved.
Speaker 2: I can't read that.
Speaker 6: Okay, so San Antonio receives Gianna, but I hate it.
Milwaukee would get Zion Williams and Keldon Johnson, a twenty
twenty five first round, twenty seven first round, twenty nine
first round. New Orleans gets Devin Vessel, Pat Connaton and
a twenty twenty seven first round pick.
Speaker 2: Am I an idiot?
Speaker 6: Definitely?
Speaker 2: He sits for New Orleans.
Speaker 6: They definitely are the third team in that trade for sure.
Speaker 2: Did we make any sense for New Orleans.
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 2: And a worthless ass first round pick.
Speaker 6: Like what they got him. They're going to Milwaukee though,
in this one.
Speaker 7: Get all take that trade and shove.
Speaker 2: It up your ass.
Speaker 8: I'll even give you Harrison body.
Speaker 2: You're not touching Zion, don't care. Keep it moving.
Speaker 6: I would trade Zion, just not for that, No, because.
Speaker 2: You can't get that. This is the paradox of Zion.
You cannot get in trade return what his potential is
because he's always injured. That's why you have to engage
in the sunken cost fallacy because the second you trade
him for his market price due to him always be injured.
The second you do that, he stays healthy and you
look like an idiot. Devin, what the what kind of
trade did you just try to show me?
Speaker 7: It's just from the athletic We didn't come up with
the trade.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what I was thinking in my head too, though,
because like Devin Vesselle, I could do without him. Jeremy
Sohn is very long.
Speaker 2: Of course you could. He played in sixty games at
average sixteen and you have two Rookies of the Year
and Jeremy.
Speaker 7: Saying, don't talk to me about if you could do
without depth basell.
Speaker 2: Of course you could. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: A lot of people thought the Pelicans like fleece the Hawks, though,
and the Hawks got one of the most improved players.
Speaker 7: I think he actually won most of them.
Speaker 6: You got Dejonte Murray, who played like fifteen games.
Speaker 7: Sometimes because we are a cursed organization.
Speaker 2: He was a literal iron man before coming here, and
he broke his hand Game one and towards Achilles right wing.
Speaker 7: Was really good for the Hawks, I know, trust me.
Speaker 2: You see former Pelicans positively contributing all around the NBA
Hey nkaal Dyson nause drew still out of here, kicking ass.
Speaker 3: This goes on and on, but he healeds out there, buddy,
healed Devin Vicel.
Speaker 7: But to be fair to Devon, you didn't even know
who he was before this segment. So exactly, you know,
for sixteen points, you know I'll be willing to give up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, but no, even if you big person
willing to give up their third.
Speaker 8: Tesla, Harrison Barnes, I'll give you that.
Speaker 7: You can keep Harrison barn I'd rather.
Speaker 8: Not, That's what I'm saying. Like, we have all these pieces,
but Mitch Robinson was starting Harrison Barnes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he likes so hand off the bench for some reason,
which is I'm gonna get it for defense, but.
Speaker 2: Don't mess with the.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a good movie. It's an underrated movie.
Speaker 6: I love I love the good I don't know about underrated.
Speaker 8: I think it's properly rated.
Speaker 6: That's probably right, Probably underrated in Adam Sandler terms only.
Speaker 2: Maybe. Yeah. Yeah, it's a probably good breakdown by Yill too. Anyway, No,
it was an.
Speaker 7: Awful deal failing New York Times.
Speaker 3: There it is That's why.
Speaker 9: Trying to say stupid things like that, Uh, do we
put you in a bad mood?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: No, I just don't understand how somebody like set down
and just didn't think that trade was just so disrespectful.
Speaker 6: The Pills certainly get the worst end of the stick
because Milwaukee gets Zion and three first round picks.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Like what you get?
Speaker 7: Like what are we talking the.
Speaker 6: Cell connatent and one pick we're talking about? Yeah? No,
that's I agree that out of those three teams, Pelicans
definitely get.
Speaker 8: The short end of someone always does.
Speaker 6: That's why you just don't get involved in that trade.
Make it a two team trade between the Spurs and
the Bucks. Just stay out of it.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, look, if the Bucks are on the
road to sucking, which they clearly are, and I control
their next three drafts, I'll hold onto those picks unless
you make it worth my top. Yeah. Anyway, yikes.
Speaker 5: But last point, last point, Uh, You've had this current
crop of Pelican players for a long time, tea, and
you ain't.
Speaker 7: Got nothing to show for it.
Speaker 5: So maybe in outside the box, looks like you got
fleece kind of trade could change your fortunes.
Speaker 7: You can actually win some.
Speaker 2: Games this, How does this?
Speaker 7: How you do it?
Speaker 2: How you convinced Katie to do things? Jack Vince Jackson
listening ain't gonna work on me saying that's urine, that
ain't rain. Get out of here, I means Nick, help
me to grab an umbrella. How about you stop pissing on.
Speaker 5: Nick's had a big trade this offseason, right, they got
rid of some players. They got Karl Anthony Town but
they got rid of some players.
Speaker 7: David Chinzo. No, Julius Randall, who's actually.
Speaker 6: Playing another for Pelvision. Yeah, he's doing really well for
the box Wolves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that trade actually worked out for both both sides
in the end.
Speaker 2: But no, get out of here with your twisted pist
logic of you've been so bad that you might as
well say do something stupid and hope that it double
negatives its way to positivity.
Speaker 7: Exactly.
Speaker 2: No, no, no piss logic clip that.
Speaker 6: It's working for Nico, Why it actually is? Actually you
got bailed out?
Speaker 2: How did that work?
Speaker 6: I know when I saw that we were right after
a fr yesterday, it broke and me and Musso were
just looking at each other. I was like, all the teams,
the MAVs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lander ryans for this, soariety says, if you
could do without the cell, why would I want him?
Speaker 8: Because he's good, we just don't need him.
Speaker 2: Trade.
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, he's good, we just don't need him on
the forgot.
Speaker 7: Dear Fox Furst.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got a good backcourt with That's what I
was saying, Like, got a good roster. Trade the trade
the second pick you're not taking Dylan Harper.
Speaker 8: You got Fox second pig, that pig.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I do think you all should try
to trade for you honest.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Always been the most European of all teams.
Speaker 7: Yeah, true, And Antonio Texas.
Speaker 8: Is very cultured.
Speaker 6: No, no, I know.
Speaker 7: But small, small market, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 8: That's what so like when people are like, oh uh,
the NBA rigging the MAVs getting the first pig is
overshadowing them, giving the Spurs a super team, I'm like,
why would anybody care if the Spurs are a super
team or not. It is a small market, but.
Speaker 2: They swings a big stick.
Speaker 7: They've been one of the most stable franchises in all
of sports.
Speaker 8: For a while.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The only part about.
Speaker 3: Is this bar called Long Branch not Antonio.
Speaker 2: You always say that it's like the same thing.
Speaker 8: It's really not.
Speaker 2: It's like.
Speaker 8: Batonusia, New Orleans, the same thing. They're like an hour
like San Antonio and Austin are not not closed Texas.
Speaker 6: No, I didn't know the box in Austin.
Speaker 4: I thought.
Speaker 2: San Antonio.
Speaker 8: I say it all the time that it's in Round Rock, literally.
Speaker 3: Round Rock. I thought Round Rock was a suburb of
Santa that's on me.
Speaker 2: I don't know where suburb. Yes, it's right before Round Rock.
Speaker 7: Before you you have to go through it to get
to Austin. I don't know where I'm here, is.
Speaker 2: What. I don't know where San Antonio is. God, I
just assumed because you were a Spurs fan that it
was a suburb of San Antonio this whole time.
Speaker 7: Could you get to Dallas without a GPS right now?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 2: I mean I hop west on an interest. No, you
wants to know.
Speaker 7: You go north and then you go west, you go
to Shreveport, then you hook a lot.
Speaker 2: No chance, would never made it.
Speaker 3: I'd have been on ten West immediately you've been going
to Dallas.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, y'all, y'all.
Speaker 6: He would have taken that way where you can get
it when you go through Houston. They have that curve
all Worth and you.
Speaker 8: Round Rock is north of Austin. Yes, this is about
twenty minutes north of Austin.
Speaker 3: Because like I grew up an hour northe but I
always said I.
Speaker 5: I would go through round Rock to get to Austin
when I'm coming from street.
Speaker 6: Yes, because you'd come back down.
Speaker 3: Shout out Alex Russian from round Rock.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a name, it's an old friend.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, the worst part about Austin is this bar long branch.
Speaker 3: Just full of.
Speaker 2: Gas lighting liars who want to take all your best
basketball players and not give you genuine assets in return.
You're gonna make me Papa Devin Vessel if you keep
this crap up. Mmmm nope, nope, okay, No, I thought
it was kind of I thought it was okay.
Speaker 7: To be fair.
Speaker 8: It was okay, was okay, you've had better, You've had better,
you've had worse. Foul tip and the catcher caught it.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 2: Right, more to me next ill I got a lot
foul tip.
Speaker 3: Off the bench. Go to cool prohpac dot com, cooler
check dot com, but tame on. My systems running fine okay, okay, okay, but.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to off the bench where the takes are
hot and the sports talk is questionable.
Speaker 2: Go TV. I remember having a great day today.
Speaker 3: Uh, let's do a TATA NFL story of the day.
Speaker 2: Day.
Speaker 1: It's time for Tata's NFL Story of the Day day,
your daily dose of NFL news from Taylor Sharp.
Speaker 6: You guys remember chiefs a holic, Yeah, the bank robber. Well,
he was sentenced yesterday. He got his sentencing for the
uh the bank robbers. Remember you had like a string
of him back in trying to go watch the chiefs man. Well,
the one that the one that ultimately buzzed him. He
was uh removing an electronic monitoring device from a robbery
back in December twelfth, twenty twenty two in Bixby, Oklahoma. Well,
his real name Xavier Babadar. He was sentenced to thirty
two years in prison. Yesterday thirty two. He got thirty
two years in prison. This was in Oklahoma, So he'll
be in that Oklahoma penitentiary for the next three decades.
Speaker 7: NFL superfan, he's doing it to go watch this.
Speaker 6: Well, I do you remember one of the ones where
he was wearing that wolf mask that ches all like
wolf mask. He took a co two pistol, pulled it
on a bank teller at a bank in Tulsa Credit Union,
took off with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He
was eventually tracked down obviously arrested in Yeah, now thirty
two years in the Oklahoma prison. Thirty two bad day
for bad day for our guy.
Speaker 2: Chiefs aholic tired Matthew sentence, Yeah, unfortunately, and he were
thirty two the city he currently wears thirty two.
Speaker 7: But yeah he did heard the number. But yeah, you're
in kansasity.
Speaker 2: Mail man, mail man sentence, he's actually my guy wasn't
even using a actual gun and he got thirty two years.
Speaker 6: COO two pistol.
Speaker 7: Hurt nobody.
Speaker 6: I mean the CO two pistol could be a pellet
rifle and they'll count it as a weapon.
Speaker 2: Pistols are we talking like? Uh? Like the thing they
killed cows with that? What's his name used in Old
Country for ole men? No Country roll Men? Antoine Urga
is probably more of like.
Speaker 6: Pellet gun.
Speaker 2: I want to watch No Country roll Men again. I
haven't seen in years.
Speaker 8: It's amazing.
Speaker 6: What does it?
Speaker 9: How does it?
Speaker 2: What kind of accident does he have? Is he Spanish?
Speaker 8: I think so, because they're they're like the people that
they were fighting with were Mexican. I think it's West.
Speaker 3: Lost on a coin flip and that what he tells him?
Speaker 8: How much have you lost on it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: How much have you ever lost in a coin flip? Intense?
Speaker 2: For what it's worthy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Back in September, he was sentenced to federal prison
seventeen and a half years.
Speaker 3: We're just piling on chiefs.
Speaker 6: So he'll have to serve an extra fourteen on the
seventeen and a half that he already got. This was
separate because that was a federal charge. This one's from
the state of Oklahoma. Combined Oklahoma and otherwise eight hundred
thousand dollars is what he still.
Speaker 9: Okay, what right?
Speaker 2: I think this is a little much. Guys, it's a lot.
Speaker 8: The only one that feels it's a little excessive.
Speaker 2: I feel.
Speaker 8: I'm pretty hard on crime.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, saying now he robbed eleven banks, it says like
that's about a repeat of a repeat offender as you
can get.
Speaker 8: Like, howry man, how many banks have robbed us?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: True?
Speaker 8: The man?
Speaker 7: Go look up the orchard of the Federal Reserve System, Taylor.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just giving you the numbers, and then look
at the Titanic too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Dodge, wake up.
Speaker 6: She got to break out the major because uh, in
the year twenty twenty four, people still rob banks. So
that's where we're at. I hope he at least gets
to formulate like a dated crime that it does.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like are we robbing trains?
Speaker 6: Like you just steal people's credit card infos and stuff.
Now like imagine the cop responded, He's like, wait, like
somebody actually tried to rob a bank.
Speaker 2: You just should have done a mean coin. He's a train,
literal legal robbery. Yeah, he should have done the chiefs
mean coin.
Speaker 6: He still could he forced thief, like what do we doing?
Speaker 3: Probably still could m old school chiefs all. I hope
he finds the chief Sanda Bank in jail though he
probably will, and then they can be.
Speaker 2: Like a happy couple.
Speaker 8: What's the movie? The Johnny Depp movie? I'm thinking with
John He's plays.

Off the Bench and with Hester and T Bob.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Jay Cow's this for a uh for an
invel story.
Speaker 2: Of the day. Add up all the travel miles trick
that NFL team will travel upcoming season. Guess who's first
in the league.
Speaker 7: Oh, it's the Chargers.
Speaker 2: Ain't close, bro, thirty seven thousand miles. Yeah, And for reference,
the Rams second at thirty four, Seattle third, all the
way down to thirty one, and then Jacksonville you got
it all the way to twenty nine.
Speaker 3: So damn near ten thousand miles more than fourth place.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I went to an event in Green Bay that
the Chargers were hosting, like a draft party, And so
me and Melvin Gordon went to the event and I
was talking with one of the people that's still there
from when I.
Speaker 7: Was there, and she was like, yeah, it is. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: We open up in Brazil and then they don't even
get a home game the next week.
Speaker 7: Then they got to go to Dallas. I believe is
the next game.
Speaker 5: Either way, he does it. I know it's a road game.
They didn't know which one that they were kind of
guessing that it would be Dallas, but a road game.
The next week, I think Minnesota plays two and they
got the Hall of Fame game by the way too,
So they kind of go to Canton, Ohio and play
an extra preseason game.
Speaker 2: The Saints travel sixteen thousand miles. The Bengals are dead
lastly travel eight thousand miles. The only single digito I
know they're chilling.
Speaker 6: How far is where was Jacksonville?
Speaker 2: Twenty nine thousand miles?
Speaker 6: Saying they go to London a lot.
Speaker 2: He doesn't Minnesota have two international games next year and
they're only at nineteen thousand.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, the charge is not not very happy with
the hand they were dealt.
Speaker 2: Ask the bench.
Speaker 3: A Landra, if you were in prison, would you write
prison letters to Luigi or Chiefs A Haulic neither.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to think if there's somebody in prison, I
would write letters too, but neither of those two. Did
he I would not write letters.
Speaker 3: To did he's in jail?
Speaker 7: I think he was saying he would.
Speaker 8: Oh, that's who you would write letters to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as the bench. Who's the second greatest quarterback in
Saint's history? Bobby A.
Speaker 7: Bear Cage can.
Speaker 2: Except no other answer, no question. Derek Corr, Wait, okay,
thirty seconds here. Have you seen all these Bengals stories, dude?
The Bengals rookies are all holding out because they won't
like the Bengals are so incredibly cheap that they've even
found a way to leave rookies unsigned in today's game.

have not engaged them in any talks whatsoever. We need
