Episode Details

Instead of epic recruiting, rosters or QB lawsuits... we're talking about overhyped fights, trash talk and cock fighting... welcome to OBB Benched!

We kick things off with the Oregon State Beavers making headlines after signing Peteris Pinis to their basketball roster. The comment section was absolutely cooked, and we read the highlights. Then we pivot to the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano fight — 17 seconds, $1 million payday, and a whole lot of disappointment for anyone who sat through it.

From there we dig into the Edwin Diaz cockfighting scandal out of Puerto Rico. The Dodgers closer got tied up in social media posts promoting illegal cockfights, along with a couple of jockeys fresh off the Kentucky Derby. We break down why Michael Vick went to prison and nobody seems to care about the cocks, and somehow end up wondering where PETA stands on all of this.

Jon Gruden pops up next — we played his clip talking about how Peyton Manning used to call out defensive backs' wives' names at the line of scrimmage as a psychological edge. Diabolical. We also get into Gruden's ongoing lawsuit against the NFL and whether Urban Meyer ever settled with that waitress.

Then it's five questions time. Topics this week include: things that seemed like a huge deal as a kid but weren't (quicksand, Y2K, Segways, 3D TVs), the strangest thing you saw at college (mostly things we can't repeat on air), the coolest stadium or venue you've ever been to (Wrigley, Fenway, the old Yankee Stadium, Mercedes-Benz), the best recent piece of advice you've received (weed your garden, gratitude as a discipline), the male equivalent of lingerie (nobody had a good answer), and TV show endings that let you down — The Sopranos, Quantum Leap, Seinfeld, Ozark, and more.

All that plus a brief Melissa controversy and the eternal question of what to name this thing. Baby bird it is.
