At least one major NFL “expert” has backed off of the possibility of Shedeur Sanders being picked at No. 9 in the first round of Thursday's NFL Draft. So what does that mean? A defensive lineman like Jalon Walker? An offensive tackle like Armand Membou or LSU's Will Campbell? What about tight end Tyler Warren? WWL Radio NFL and Draft analyst Mike Detillier shares his expertise with host Jim Derry on Monday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 364) presented by Evangeline Securities, and Jim asks Mike for his thoughts on the continuing Derek Carr saga. Also, it's a modified ‘Mano E Monday,' so the Dattitude Family has plenty to say – especially on Carr. Gabe Henderson is back to see if he can stay hot in ‘Man vs. Machine,' and Jim's ‘Last Word' is on the poor wittle New York Yankees having “no good deed going unpunished.”

The resurrection of Jesus is more than a moment in history—it's the beginning of a whole new world.In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Chris invites us to see the empty tomb not just as a sign of Christ's victory over death, but as the dawn of new creation. From the garden where Mary meets the risen Christ, to the promise of resurrection power in our daily lives, this sermon calls us to move from grief to hope, from waiting to mission.Key Points:1. From Graveyard to Garden (John 20:1–18)Mary comes to the tomb in darkness, but leaves in the light of resurrection. Jesus—the true Gardener—calls her by name, showing us that Easter is personal and transformative.2. Death Doesn't Get the Last Word (1 Corinthians 15:20–26)Jesus is the “firstfruits” of resurrection, a sign that a new humanity is rising. This isn't metaphor—it's a bodily victory over death with real implications for today.3. Power to Go, Power to Grow (Matthew 28:18–20; Acts 1:8)The risen Jesus doesn't just comfort us—He commissions us. Resurrection power sends us out to live on mission, bringing renewal to every part of the world.Take Your Next Step:Let Jesus speak your name.Live like death is defeated.Go with the Gardener to bring new creation wherever you are.Subscribe to stay connected and hear more messages of hope, transformation, and purpose.Learn more about Grace City Church: www.gracecityeugene.comFollow us on Instagram: @gracecityeugene
It's the Easter Special! Well, half an Easter Special maybe. Nick has the flu so in this shortened episode, it's Pastor Joe to the rescue, reflecting on how the Easter story of suffering, bewilderment and joy is a challenge to us to live all of life. Maybe, like the disciples on the Emmaus road, 'we had hopes'; but maybe, also like them, we can look back and recognise that Jesus was with us all along. Now, anyone for a liturgical breakfast?

It's less than 1 week from the moment we'll hear Commissioner Roger Goodell go to the podium in Green Bay and say “With the ninth pick of the NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select …” The big question is what name will come out of his mouth after that lead in? Will it be a quarterback, like Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough or Jalen Milroe? Is it necessary because of all the rumors swirling around current quarterback Derek Carr. What makes sense, and what doesn't? Host Jim Derry spends most of the show talking about this with WWL-TV sports director Doug Mouton on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 363) presented by Evangeline Securities, and of course Jim has ideas of his own. He also ends the show with by honoring in ‘The Last Word' former Saints right tackle Ryan Ramczyk, who officially retired Thursday.

The moment of truth in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft is coming quickly for the New Orleans Saints. Will it be offense and Shedeur Sanders, Tyler Warren or a lineman? Maybe it will be cornerback or defensive line? Whatever the answer, a bigger question is: Can this Saints team without hitting a home run at No. 9?

Grieving with God: Lamentations 4: Hope Gets the Last Word, Pastor Ray Duck
This week's Last Word delves into the ominous impact of President Trump's tariffs on San Antonio and Texas. As the trade war with Canada and Mexico intensifies, the city braces for economic repercussions. Politicians have transformed tariffs into weapons of political retribution, overshadowing San Antonio's success in advanced manufacturing and global trade. Bob examines the economic fallout as San Antonio faces potentially devastating tariffs, with goods and services inflating by up to 50%. The stakes are high as voters deal with the consequences of reshaped alliances and immigration missteps in Washington. As San Antonio stands at a pivotal moment, it's worth considering: Will the city weather this economic storm, or will Trump's tariffs usher in a new era of uncertainty and challenge? Join us for a penetrating commentary on trade, governance, and the future of San Antonio's economy. -- --

It's a HUGE culminating week for the NCAA Men's and Women's Tournaments, as the respective Final Fours will take place in San Antonio, TX and Tampa, FL this weekend. And, we're ready to discuss lots about it on the newest "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast."Host T.J. Rives returns with takes on this past weekend's coverage and of course, some updates on the ratings. First what about the "Cooper Flagg Effect" for Duke helping the CBS/Turner audience numbers? And, just how big will the Saturday night semi in San Antonio with Houston be? T.J. has some thoughts.He also discusses the women's ratings and the expected dramatic dropoff from the humungous audience last year for Iowa's Caitlin Clark and her games. It's still a solid product on TV for ESPN/ABC, but there's now confrmation for good that Clark meant 4 and 5 times more audience for her games last year. There's more analysis on this.Then, T.J. talks the start of the MLB season and the coverage on ESPN, the tributes to the late Milwaukee Brewers great broadcaster Bob Uecker and the disastrous first A's game in Sacramento that saw technical problems plague the night for their first game in their temporary home against the Cubs.Next, a fascinating discussion on the announcers in this year's tourneys and leading to the all-time broadcasters to work a men's Final Four and a look ahead to whom are calling the Final Fours this weekend at the two sites. We do this with Phil de Montmolin, who's a great historian of it all and use to co-host the Announcer Schedules Pod with Mike Gill on this feed.

This week's Last Word dives into the ongoing battle between local and state government in Texas, focusing on San Antonio's fight to retain control over its financial future. With Republican lawmakers seeking to tighten their grip on predominantly Democratic cities, proposals like requiring a two-thirds majority for bond approvals loom large, threatening to stall essential capital projects. Bob unpacks the political motivations behind these legislative moves, the implications for San Antonio's infrastructure and community needs, and how state interference stands to hinder progress on issues like poverty, education, and public transit. In an era where local governance is under siege, it's crucial to question: Will San Antonio's leaders succeed in defending home rule, or will state politics overshadow the city's growth and prosperity? Tune in for a piercing commentary on governance, power dynamics, and the path forward for San Antonio. -- --

Tons of "March Madness" NCAA Tourney conversation, news and even, a reporter controversy lead this week's show. And, we also look ahead to the MLB season getting underway this weekend, too on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast."Host T.J. Rives is back with co-host Mike Gill to give their insight and takes on the sports media stories, information and subjects.That includes the start up of the 2025 Men's Tourney and the lack of "Cinderellas" making into this weekend? Also, it's a surprise that CBS' #1 team of Ian Eagle, Grant Hill and Bill Raftery NOT covering Duke and Cooper Flagg in Newark, NJ. Mike has an idea on expanding the tournament in a big way that inclludes the little guy, massively. It's fascinating and not that far fetched and would mean a lot more televised games and therefore, $$$. Then, the guys also talk the UConn ouster by Florida on Sunday and how a local Charlotte reporter's video of Huskies coach Danny Hurley yelling in the tunnel of the arena and blaming the referees for his team's defeat has caused controversy.
