On this week’s high-octane Episode 308 of Empty The Bench, Nick Morgasen and Zain Bando break down a seismic week across the sports landscape, starting with the total teardown in South Beach as the Dolphins stun the league by trading Minkah Fitzpatrick to the rival Jets and officially releasing Tua Tagovailoa. The guys analyze the financial ripple effects of Trent McDuffie’s historic four-year, $124 million extension with the Rams before shifting gears to the AFC, where Kenneth Walker joins a loaded Chiefs backfield and DJ Moore heads to Buffalo in a blockbuster trade with the Bears. The conversation moves from the gridiron to the cage as Francis Ngannou’s clash with Philipe Lins becomes official for the May 16 MVP card on Netflix, followed by a heated reaction to the unprecedented UFC White House card. In the media world, they discuss the massive talent drain at the Washington Post as several top writers depart for ESPN, and they wrap things up with a look at Bruce Pearl’s bizarre memory lapse regarding superstar Caitlin Clark, plus plenty of other headlines you won't want to miss.
