Pokémon Champions Regulation M-C is here, and the competitive landscape just got a whole lot more interesting. This week on PUCL, Thatch, R. Sigma, and Sharkfinnagen break down the new M-C format, the Pokémon joining the roster, and the new Mega Evolutions shaking up Pokémon Champions. With Rillaboom, Indeedee, Salamence, Baxcalibur and more entering the mix—and Mega Lucario Z, Mega Garchomp Z, Mega Absol Z and other Megas becoming legal—there's a lot to unpack. Which additions are actually going to matter? What are we excited to use? What looks terrifying, overrated, or just plain weird? And most importantly: is M-C actually making Pokémon Champions better? 0:00 Opening 01:28 What We've Been Doing 16:40 Pokemon Identity Discussion 1:16:00 Pokequiz Trivia 1:35:02 Poke Opinion Mailbag Question What do you think about Pokemon Champions and the M-C Format? puclpodcast@gmail.com Connect with PUCL Discord: www.pucldiscord.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/puclpodcast Facebook: https://facebook.com/puclpodcast Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/puclpodcast.bsky.social Twitch: https://twitch.tv/thepuclpodcast Support the Show!

Historian Scott Perry joins us and recounts that the Denver Broncos underwent a decisive transformation into a winning franchise. Scott frames the conversation around his book, NFL Since 1970, which provides a visual record of franchise standings. The transformation began in 1976, a pivotal turning point. The team struggled in the 1960s and early 1970s, with frequent losses and few major achievements. I describe how the franchise rose to prominence by winning the AFC Championship in 1977 and later claiming Super Bowl victories, including back-to-back titles under John Elway.He emphasizes the franchise's sustained success across decades and notes that Denver ranked eighth or better in every completed decade from 1970 through 2019. I place the Broncos' rise within the larger context of the AFL–NFL merger and the evolving structure of the league. We invite listeners to consult the show notes for a link to my book, which provides the full narrative and the statistics that underpin these conclusions.Make sure to check out Scott's web pages at https://nflsince1970.com/Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well, don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website.

This week on The Dressage Radio Show, we kick things off with Debra Reinhardt USDF Vice Pres, as we break down the qualifying process for the U.S. Dressage Finals and what riders need to know to make their way to Nationals. Then we go behind the scenes at Aachen with Megan Laffin and Allie Conti, who share their experiences as grooms at one of the biggest dressage competitions in the world. And finally, we chat with international coach, trainer and competitor David Wightman about his success developing young riders—from Young Riders and the Festival of Champions to international competition—and what it takes to help the next generation reach the highest levels of our sport.Links: Co-Hosts: Reese Koffler-Stanfield and Megan McIssac | Instagram | FacebookTitle Sponsors: Purina Premier Sponsor: Kentucky Performance Products Guest: Debra Reinhardt, USDF Vice President - WebsiteGuest: Megan Laffin & Allie ContiGuest: David Wightman - Facebook | InstagramBook Club: Stable Core Training by Joyce KramerDressage Radio Show: Website | Facebook

It was another head scratching loss for the Americans in team format golf. This time the European team bested the USA at the Solheim Cup. Heading into Sunday the American and European teams were tied going into singles, but Europe outlasted the Americans in the Netherlands to win the Solheim Cup. We will have all of our reactions plus we try to figure out... why is America so bad at these events? We will also question some of captain Angela Stanford's decisions. Shane Lowry blitzed the field at Doonbeg to win the Irish Open by 11 shots at -23. It is Lowry's second win in his home country, 17 years after he won the Irish Open as an amateur. We ventured to Sioux Falls for the Champions tour event and the absurdity was real. Players in carts while the caddies walked, silencer tents at a golf tournament, etc. We will discuss what we saw at the Sanford International. The pod headed back to Landmand for the first time since we were there before its opening. We also got a chance to play the newest private club in Sioux Falls, Mapleton Golf Club and we were not disappointed.

Getting a buyer interested in our solution is only the beginning of a B2B sale. In many organisations — and particularly in Japan — the person sitting across from us may have very little authority to make the final decision. Instead, we need that person to become our internal champion. They have to take our idea back into their organisation, explain it, defend it, overcome resistance and put their own reputation behind recommending us. That creates an important responsibility for salespeople. We are not merely asking someone to help us win a deal. We are asking them to take a professional risk on our behalf. What is an internal champion in B2B sales? An internal champion is someone inside the buyer organisation who believes in your solution strongly enough to advocate for it when you are not in the room. Usually, we meet our initial contact through a cold call, referral or networking. We explain what we do, perhaps mention another client we have helped and then ask permission to explore their situation. If we are doing professional consultative selling, we ask questions and go deeply into the issues facing the organisation. Eventually, we start suggesting solutions matched to those needs. That is often when reality appears. Our contact may be enthusiastic about solving the problem but discover that managers, executives, Finance, Procurement or other divisions are not nearly as enthusiastic. We cannot personally attend every internal conversation. Our contact therefore becomes our representative. They have to carry the sale forward for us. Do now: Identify who inside the client genuinely wants the change to happen. Interest alone isn't enough — you need someone willing to advocate internally. Why are internal champions particularly important when selling in Japan? Japanese corporate buying often involves multiple stakeholders, so the salesperson's original contact may be only one participant in a much larger decision-making process. In traditional Japanese organisations, a proposal can move through several layers of internal review. Divisions affected by the purchase may conduct their own due diligence. Section Heads may approve the proposal before it moves to Division Heads. Depending on the scale and nature of the decision, senior executives may then become involved. The traditional ringi process illustrates why internal consensus matters so much in Japan. That can mean a tremendous number of people are involved. Meanwhile, we may only know one of them. The person sitting opposite us may not even have final approval authority, yet we depend upon them to help navigate the proposal through the organisation. This is why Japanese B2B selling cannot simply be about persuading one individual. We need to help that individual persuade everyone else. Do now: Ask, "Who else will be involved in evaluating or approving this decision?" Then help your champion prepare for each stakeholder's concerns. What risk does an internal champion take when recommending a supplier? Your champion puts their credibility and sometimes their career reputation behind your solution, because if your company fails, they may be blamed for recommending you. This is something salespeople can easily underestimate. We naturally think about our own risk. Will we win the contract? Will we achieve our sales target? Will we earn the commission? The buyer's champion is considering something completely different. "If I recommend these people and it goes badly, what happens to me?" Their colleagues are unlikely to say, "Well, that supplier made an unfortunate operational decision." They may say: "Why did you choose them?" That makes trust central to the sale. Our champion has to believe we are credible, reliable and capable of delivering what we promise. They also need confidence that supporting us won't make them look foolish in front of senior management. When viewed from their perspective, choosing a new supplier can be a significant personal risk. Do now: Before asking a champion to advocate for you, ask yourself, "What professional risk am I asking this person to accept?" What can go wrong when a salesperson fails to protect the champion? If the supplier fails after an internal champion has fought to get the deal approved, the damage can extend far beyond the contract — it can damage the champion's standing inside the organisation. I learned this lesson painfully while selling imported mobile telephone antenna steel towers in Japan. The towers were sourced from Australia, and we could install them for around 30% of the price being offered by local suppliers. Imported towers were new, however, so getting agreement wasn't straightforward. The buyer was a joint venture whose executives had come from several shareholder companies. Some arrived with relationships with preferred Japanese suppliers. My champions had to fight internally to get the Australian solution accepted. There was even resistance from the local supplier group, which reacted aggressively to the cheaper imported competition. Eventually, my champions got the deal through. Then things went wrong. The Australian supplier decided to move production to Malaysia to reduce costs. Quality problems followed. Eventually, the business collapsed. Do now: Winning internal approval isn't the finish line. Once your champion has backed you, delivery becomes part of protecting their reputation. Why does supplier failure damage the salesperson personally? From the champion's perspective, the salesperson represents the entire supplier organisation, so internal operational failures can become personal failures of trust. I hadn't personally made the decision to move production from Australia to Malaysia. That distinction didn't matter. To my champion, I was their guy. I had brought the supplier into the company. I had made the promises. They had trusted me enough to fight internally for the deal. Then the supplier let them down. The relationship was destroyed. They stopped talking to me, which I took as a very bad sign indeed. My name was mud. That experience taught me something important about mutual responsibility in selling. Salespeople sometimes think, "That problem came from Operations", "Head Office made the decision" or "Manufacturing caused the failure". The customer doesn't care about our organisational chart. Neither does our champion. We own the promises we make on behalf of our organisation. Do now: Never recommend something internally that you aren't confident your own organisation can deliver. Your credibility travels with the solution. How can salespeople help their champions win internally? The salesperson should make the champion's internal selling job easier by providing the arguments, evidence and risk reduction they need to persuade other decision-makers. Think about what your champion will face after you leave the meeting. Their boss may ask why the company should change. Finance may question the economics. Procurement may challenge the supplier. Users may worry about implementation. Senior leaders may ask what could go wrong. Your champion needs answers. We should therefore provide more than a proposal. Give them a clear business case. Provide relevant evidence. Explain implementation. Anticipate objections. Identify risks and explain how those risks will be managed. Make the recommendation easy for them to explain to other stakeholders. Most importantly, remain conscious that your champion is lending you something precious: their internal credibility. If the deal succeeds, you want them to look smart for having backed you. That is how long-term trusted-adviser relationships are built. Do now: Ask yourself, "What does my champion need to make this recommendation safely and convincingly when I'm not there?" What should salespeople remember about their internal champions? The sale isn't only about getting agreement from the organisation. It is about protecting the person helping us obtain that agreement. Find your champion. Build their trust. Understand the stakeholders they need to influence. Give them the evidence and arguments they need. Reduce the personal and organisational risk attached to choosing you. Then deliver what you promised. My steel-tower experience taught me this lesson the hard way. A champion who fights internally for us deserves much more than our gratitude. They deserve our protection. When we begin the sales process with that responsibility in mind, we make better decisions about what we promise, what we sell and how we deliver. And there is another benefit. Protecting our champion also protects our own personal brand and reputation in the marketplace.

Si la semana pasada, con la que estaba cayendo, no invitamos al suicidio colectivo, no esperen de nosotros que lo hagamos esta semana, aunque haya medio Twitter desquiciado. ¿En serio? Con un 0-3 contra la Real y a domicilio ¿Pero estamos locos?Después, además, de un partido en Anfield más que digno, un golazo de nuestro Rey Sol para no perder las buenas costumbres allí y un primer tiempo mucho mejor que aseado. Que el segundo tiempo en Liverpool fue malo, sin duda. Que el equipo en Anoeta no jugó como los ángeles, pues es verdad. Tampoco ellos, ojo. Y lo poco que hicieron fue contenido por una defensa que estuvo muy seria ¡Qué buena noticia es el Cuti, por cierto! ¡Y qué bien tener un 9 puro! Ojalá despegue.  Sin duda, hay cosas a mejorar. Pero está claro que estos primeros partidos de la temporada son importantes para generar dinámicas y ganar fuera de casa y con un equipo como la Real (con la espinita además que teníamos con ellos) se agradece y mucho. Los encajes que vengan, que son muy necesarios, se harán más fácilmente con el sosiego que dan estos tres puntos. Así que a tomarse algo entre amigo y echarse unas risas, con nosotros y de nosotros. Del cabreo del Irlandés por cambiar al chino, de Chami por no cambiar a Grimaldo y del zasca del Cholo a ellos y a medio planeta. Por suerte, el entrenador sigue siendo él, el que sabe es él y nosotros agradecidos y bien contentos porque nos lo siga demostrando, nos levantamos a aplaudirle.  Esta semana participan en la tertulia: @Lera_atm94, V1T0T3, @jaime_ATM34, @chaminorte, @MiguelNicolasOS y @EduardodeAtleti Y se incluyen las siguientes secciones:  1.- El cumpleaños de Jesús con @Lera_atm94, que nos lleva a recordar el primer partido del Atleti en Copa de Europa, contra el Drumcondra.  2.- El cuadernillo de Óscar, con @elabuchus  3.- Jesús en un bar, con @Doniphon62 pinchando “Border song” de Elton John.  4.- El partido de tu vida, con @martamredondo7, que entrevista a nuestro Bambino, @Lera_atm94, que esta semana es omnipresente. Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aplasta-arteche-podcast--4791815/support.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield Championship Comebacks, Coaching Your Own Kids, and Faith That Wins with Stephen Greek Texas high school football coach and author Stephen Greek joins Pastor Joe Schofield and the Raising Expectations team to talk about championship comebacks, coaching his own three sons, and what it truly means to win in faith, marriage, and business. Team Roll Call and the Gospel Message Pastor Joe Schofield opens the Monday broadcast the way he always does, thanking listeners around the world and promising that God has raised their expectations through answered prayer over the past week. He notes a couple of the regular panel are away on business but introduces those present: his wife Melba Schofield, a Southwestern Seminary graduate; Dr. Paul Hall, a retired pastor and theologian calling in from Lompoc, California; and Dr. Craig Thayer, nicknamed Tank, a surgeon, former Olympic water polo coach, and author of Saved, joining late from Dalton, Georgia. Schofield also introduces, without him joining tonight, Ron Greer of McKinney, Texas, a former pastor who once ran for Congress and now counsels men through Man in the Mirror. Before the guest arrives, Schofield restates the ministry's core message, that Jesus Christ died and rose so believers can spend eternity in Heaven, and previews a recent guest he describes as a former lieutenant governor of California running again alongside conservative candidate Steve Hilton, plus an upcoming interview with the state comptroller. Meet Coach Stephen Greek Schofield introduces the night's guest, Stephen Greek, a Texas state champion football coach, athletic director, speaker, and author of the Building of Champions leadership platform found at goscore.life. He describes Greek's philosophy of translating coaching principles into everyday leadership, and introduces his wife Daisy and their three sons, Daniel, Nathan, and Joshua. Greek joins warmly, saying his grandfather pastored a South Texas farming community for more than fifty-five years and used to say he was "in high cotton," surrounded by good people, a line he borrows to thank the panel for having him on. Schofield recalls following Greek's coaching career and his sons for years, describing hallway hugs after church and letters from listeners thanking God for the family. With introductions done, the panel turns to Greek's six state championship appearances and four championship wins, setting up a conversation about faith, leadership, fatherhood, and what it really means to win. Comeback Wins and Championship Nerves Asked what the locker room feels like in the final two minutes of a title game, Greek says three of his four championship wins came from behind on nearly the last play. He recalls a 2009 interception in the end zone to seal his first title, a tight district win the following season, and a 2015 game requiring an eighty-yard drive in under two minutes, after which he had to stop his players from celebrating before the clock hit zero. He also describes trailing forty-one to seventeen in 2017 and telling his team only to give their all, then rallying to win forty-two to forty-one. Greek says the final seconds of a win feel exhilarating as players storm the field, but insists coaching, marriage, and business all run on the same fuel: belief without faith is impossible, he says, tying the phrase directly to the show's title as he tells the panel that "you raise expectations" every time you aim for a goal and keep believing despite setbacks. Faith on the Field, Public and Private Craig Thayer asks how Greek brought Christianity into coaching across more than two decades split between public and private Texas schools. Greek says Christian academies expect open faith, comparing the freedom to a preacher's amen corner, while public schools call for a quieter approach he likens to "black ops," believers letting their light shine covertly. He credits leadership author John Maxwell, whom he met through Zig Ziglar's circle in Plano, with the phrase "earn the right to share your faith," meaning excellence in the work itself opens the door to conversation. Greek also praises first responders and the military, invoking the recent anniversary of September eleventh to describe people who run toward tragedy as evidence of good in the world. He tells the panel that whether in a locker room or a classroom, the goal is the same, to be respectful and strategic until people are ready to hear a message of hope, at which point he says he tries simply to point them toward Jesus. Winning What Matters Most Paul Hall asks Greek what troubles him most about how high achievers define winning. Greek says many leaders he mentors, corporate executives and coaches alike, hit every professional target while their marriages quietly fall apart, their spouses grow lonely, or their children struggle unnoticed. He says he has not always gotten the balance right himself, quoting a Michael W. Smith lyric about being unloving, unkind, and unworthy to describe the humbling realization that prompts a simple prayer, "God save me." Greek argues that Scripture itself, sharper than any two-edged sword, exposes those failures like a mirror before pointing believers toward Christ's perfection, which he says is what actually changes a life rather than mere motivation. Borrowing the show's language, he tells the panel the way to win is to "get on team Jesus" and "put on the jersey," a line Schofield immediately affirms, before Paul Hall follows up by asking how Greek identifies what an individual player or person truly needs. Coaching Your Own Sons Craig Thayer asks how Greek balanced being a loving father with being a critical coach to his own three sons, all of whom played college football. Greek says he told his coaching staff to pull him aside if he ever pushed too hard, and told his sons he was playing an actor's role on the field so teammates would see no one, not even the coach's son, was spared correction. He credits a story from former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, who once asked to be coached hardest in front of his own team to wake up younger players. Greek also describes being spanked as a child with a belt or newspaper rather than a hand, a method his father explained afterward through tears, and quotes the country song "Daddy's Hands" about discipline delivered with love. Melba Schofield asks what Greek would tell his younger coaching self; he answers that treating people with dignity and kindness matters most, before Schofield thanks him and promises a longer conversation next week.

Arsenal were denied their usual rhythm and pushed into a physical battle by a Sunderland side that came remarkably close to taking control at the Stadium of Light. David Raya's penalty save changed the direction of the contest before Bruno Guimarães and Bukayo Saka supplied the decisive quality, securing a 2–0 victory that demonstrated why championship teams do not always need to dominate in order to prevail.⚽
