Off the Bench Is Going on Haitus. We will return for the Football Season and be back better than ever!   On June 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds triumphed over the Cleveland Guardians with a 7-4 victory at Progressive Field, securing the Ohio Cup for the first time since 2014. The Reds, led by manager Terry Francona, unleashed an offensive barrage, amassing 16 hits. Jake Fraley shone with three hits, including a home run, while TJ Friedl also went yard, boosting the team's morale. Wade Miley delivered a solid pitching performance, and Pagan sealed the win with a strong close. This victory marked the Reds' fourth straight win, improving their record to 34-33 and pushing them above .500 for the first time since May 19. The Ohio Cup, a symbol of Buckeye State bragging rights, was clinched after the Reds dominated the season series, including a sweep of the Guardians earlier in May. Fans celebrated the return of the trophy to Cincinnati, with social media buzzing about the team's momentum. Friedl humorously noted the cup could hold “two and a half 12-ounce Coors Lights,” adding a lighthearted touch to the achievement. This win signals the Reds' growing confidence as they aim to close the 6.5-game gap behind the NL Central-leading Cubs. On June 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals released linebacker Germaine Pratt, a team captain and their 2024 leading tackler with 143 tackles. The move, reported by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, saves $5.6-$5.9 million in 2025 cap space but incurs $2.3 million in dead money. Pratt, a 2019 third-round pick, requested a trade in February after defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo's departure, signaling discontent with the new scheme under Al Golden. His release, following a career-high season with two interceptions and two forced fumbles, weakens a defense already criticized for allowing 30+ points against top offenses in 2024. The Bengals aim to replace Pratt with younger talent, including second-round pick Demetrius Knight Jr. and fourth-rounder Barrett Carter, alongside free agent Oren Burks. However, transitioning to rookies risks inexperience at a critical position, potentially exacerbating defensive struggles. Fans on X expressed dismay, fearing a further decline in defensive performance, while some see Pratt landing with Anarumo's Indianapolis Colts. The Bengals' shift to youth and speed, as noted by director Duke Tobin, prioritizes long-term flexibility but may hinder immediate competitiveness in a tough AFC North.

(00:00-25:10) – Query & Company opens on a Monday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing the game two loss for the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

(1:57:06-2:08:23) – IU Indy Athletic Director Luke Bosso joins the program to explain how the school determined that Ben Howlett was the perfect fit to be the next men’s basketball coach, believes that that house’s settlement last week will lead to non-power five conferences having to search harder for players, and provides further details on how the settlement impacts conversations that college’s will have with its current, and future, student-athletes.

Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/the-ride-with-jmv/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Colts are in the second phase of their offseason program. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo talks defensive additions and special teams coordinator Brian Mason weighs in on the kicking competition. Plus: some lingering draft thoughts, updates from DeForest Buckner and Samson Ebukam, the team signs a new linebacker, and we take a quick trip around the AFC South.

Lou Anarumo is a different kind of defensive coordinator compared to Gus Bradley, and that is potentially a good thing because Bradley's defenses ranked near the NFL's bottom in points and yards.

On April 22, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds suffered another tough loss, falling 11-13 to the Miami Marlins in a high-scoring affair at LoanDepot Park. The game, part of a three-game series, saw the Reds struggle defensively, particularly in a disastrous seventh inning that allowed the Marlins to surge ahead. Starting pitcher Graham Ashcraft had a rough outing, unable to contain Miami's offense, while the Reds' bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding. Offensively, TJ Friedl and Jose Trevino each had two hits, and Noelvi Marte blasted a home run, but the team's hard-hit balls often found Marlins' gloves, as noted by fans on X. Despite Nick Martinez's solid relief effort, costly errors and poor situational hitting (1-for-10 with runners in scoring position) doomed Cincinnati. The loss dropped the Reds to 11-13, highlighting ongoing issues with consistency and defense as they aim to avoid a sweep today. The Cincinnati Bengals approach the 2025 NFL Draft with the 17th overall pick and six total selections, aiming to address critical defensive and offensive needs. After a 9-8 season, the focus is on bolstering the defense, which struggled last year, prompting the firing of coordinator Lou Anarumo. Mock drafts project the Bengals targeting impact defenders like Georgia safety Malaki Starks, Ole Miss DT Walter Nolen, or Marshall EDGE Mike Green to complement Trey Hendrickson. The defensive line and secondary, weakened by departures like Sam Hubbard and Vonn Bell, are priorities. Offensively, adding depth at guard or tackle is possible, with Alabama's Parker Brailsford mentioned. With Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins locked in, the pressure is on director Duke Tobin to hit on draft picks to maximize Burrow's prime and return to playoff contention under new coordinator Al Golden.

Watch Off the Bench Presented by UDF with Chatterbox Sports Monday-Friday 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. LIVE on the Chatterbox Sports YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE to the channel to ensure you never miss a thing. As of March 7, 2025, Cincinnati Bengals' All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson has been granted permission to seek a trade, marking a significant shift after the team rebuffed a similar request in 2024. Hendrickson, who led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024 and earned his first All-Pro nod, is in the final year of his contract, set to earn a $15.8 million base salary with a $18.66 million cap hit in 2025. With no guaranteed money remaining, the 30-year-old edge rusher is seeking a long-term extension that aligns with his elite production—35 sacks over the past two seasons—rather than the one-year extension he signed in 2023. The Bengals' decision to allow this exploration comes amid financial pressures, as they prioritize lucrative extensions for wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, alongside managing Joe Burrow's massive contract. Trading Hendrickson would save Cincinnati $16 million in cap space, though it leaves their defense, already weakened by Sam Hubbard's retirement, in a precarious position. Hendrickson's trade request has sparked interest across the NFL, with several teams emerging as potential suitors. The Detroit Lions, flush with $51 million in cap space, are a prime candidate. After losing Aidan Hutchinson to injury last season, they traded for Za'Darius Smith, but Hendrickson could form a dynamic duo with a recovering Hutchinson, bolstering their pass rush for a Super Bowl push. The Washington Commanders, linked early as suitors, need to replace free agent Dante Fowler Jr.'s 10.5 sacks from 2024. With head coach Dan Quinn favoring an edge-heavy defense, Hendrickson fits their aggressive rebuild. The Atlanta Falcons, desperate for pass-rush help after a lackluster season from Matt Judon, also see Hendrickson as an instant upgrade to complement their NFC South ambitions, though cap constraints may complicate a deal. Other possibilities include the Chicago Bears, leveraging defensive coordinator Dennis Allen's past ties to Hendrickson from New Orleans, and the Indianapolis Colts, where former Bengals coordinator Lou Anarumo now resides. Both teams could pair Hendrickson with existing stars—Montez Sweat in Chicago, DeForest Buckner in Indy—to elevate their defenses. With his market value likely fetching at least a second-round pick, Hendrickson's next move will hinge on a team's willingness to offer both draft capital and a contract nearing the $35 million annual benchmark set by Maxx Crosby.

As a former NFL safety, Jordan Kovacs understands the mentality of both players and coaches. After his first season as the Cincinnati Bengals' secondary/safeties coach, Kovacs has been retained by new defensive coordinator Al Golden.  While grateful for the opportunity that Lou Anarumo and Zac Taylor gave him, he's also excited for Golden's return to the staff and the additions of linebackers coach Mike Hodges and defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery.
