Episode Details

Instead of Canes in the Draft, epic Spring Game showings and veiled Manny Diaz shots... we're talking about parachuting accidents, weiners in the air and weiners at the prom... it's OBB Benched!

The boys are back and this week we're skipping the NFL Draft talk and spring game analysis to get into the REAL stories of the week: parachuting disasters, wieners in the sky, wieners at the prom, and a press conference apology that raised more questions than it answered.

Coach Mike Vrabel finally addressed the media this week following ongoing speculation about his personal life, and the guys break down his "positive and productive" press conference — including who actually gets that apology, and how the New England Patriots remain the most scandalous franchise in NFL history (from murder to deflate-gate to massage parlors, it's all there).

Then — did you see the Virginia Tech Spring Game? A parachutist carrying the American flag got blown off course and ended up tangled at the TOP of the scoreboard. The game was delayed. A 75-foot ladder truck showed up. It was five feet too short. The guys walk through the whole chaotic scene and debate whether the game should have just continued anyway.

In "wiener" news (yes, plural): The Finnish Air Force has grounded pilots for using their flight radar to draw giant penises in the sky — and the boys have thoughts on Finland's Air Force in general. Plus: a group of Kansas high schoolers from a school called Seamen High School took the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to their senior prom. Absolutely perfect.

The episode closes out with Five Questions — covering the worst addictions, things the guys can no longer do, kidnapping code phrases, places that didn't feel real, and the Mount Rushmore of Animated Movies (Lion King, Toy Story, Avatar, and some very heated debate about Tangled, Finding Nemo, and Grandma's Boy).
