Miami Under Armour was tremendous with elite prospects from quarterback to defensive back.  Starting off with the passers, Dereon Coleman (Miami commitment), Dia Bell (Texas commitment), Will Griffin (Florida commitment), and 2027's Trae Taylor all looked great and showed why they are some of the highest-ranked quarterbacks in the country.This first episode of The Portal Podcast breaks down why each of these quarterbacks threw the football well, and why they can help their future college teams recruit. In particular, notes on Dereon Coleman's comments about Miami's recruitment of wide receivers. More points below:*IMG's Jake Kreul came to compete and won every rep. He's incredible. Maybe the best camp performer I've ever seen. I go into why he wins so many reps with ease. *Why wide receiver Calvin Russell's recruitment will be a GAUNTLET for any college program attempting to sign him!*Larry Miles is legit and I explain why his recruiting stock is too LOW!*If you have not heard about defensive backs Brody Jennings or Devonte Anderson, you will right here. Both showed the moxie to make plays on the football against a tremendous group of wide receivers.*Flanigan high school's Santana Carlos is as twitchy as it gets. Make sure you check out the YouTube short I have of his jaw-dropping move!*Denairius Gray is big-time. Why don't more people discuss him? The Auburn commitment deserves more hype.*Speaking of receivers, Brysen Wright is the next ELITE receiver to come out of Florida and he's only going to be a sophomore next season!*Jamar Thompson was awesome in the 2024 Florida state playoffs and again today during Under Armour Miami. For a player 290-plus pounds, he uses his hands and feet to win battles as much as brute strength.Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-portal-daily-college-recruiting-and-nil-podcast/id1720975375Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Wr77m5yVBgANHkDS7NxI5YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ThePortalPodcastFollow me on X: https://x.com/LO_ThePortal & https://x.com/fbscout_floridaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedontheportalInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fbscout_florida/#recruiting #transferportal #nil #recruitingrankings #UnderArmourMiami #CalvinRussell #DereonColeman #LarryMiles #JavianMallory #BrysenWright #JasenLopez #WillGriffin #DevonteAnderson #BrodyJennings #JakeKreulSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksDownload the app and use code lockedonnfl to win $50 instantly when you play $5.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Martin Mayorga, Founder and CEO of Mayorga Organics, a coffee company with the purpose of leading a revolutionary organic food movement that empowers farmers and consumers, protects the environment, and celebrates Latin American heritage. Martin's journey has been fueled by a passion for social justice, sustainable business practices, and making positive impacts through conscientious capitalism. He has dedicated his life to transforming the way agricultural products are sourced, purchased, and consumed, creating value and positive impact for all stakeholders.He and Ted discuss his background and upbringing. Martin was born in Guatemala, and spent his childhood - marked by unrest and political upheaval - moving around from Nicaragua to Costa Rica to Peru, and ultimately immigrating to the US. These formative experiences, coupled with the challenges of being an immigrant to the United States as a Latino in the 1980's, shaped his worldview and approach to business. He decided to use his education in International Business and Finance from Georgetown University to revolutionize the global agricultural trade. Championing sustainable coffee practices since the mid-90s, Mayorga Organics stands as a testament to the power of creating new, efficient supply chains built from the ground up through a commitment to the well-being of small farmers, their land, and their communities - resulting in the consumer receiving the best quality products at a price that is fair to them. By prioritizing the needs of farmers, communities, staff, and customers, Mayorga Organics has created a brand that resonates with consumers who care about both quality and ethical consumption, while developing industry-leading supply chains that provide better value for all participants. Martin's focus on lean, high-quality operations has led the company to grow in a highly competitive market while creating a reputation that has led to multiple awards, business recognition, speeches, international distribution, and private label manufacturing for some of the world's largest retailers.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Kate Reimann, Founder and CEO of Rogue Wave Toys and Rogue Wave Materials. Rogue Wave Toys are made of compostable plastic based on biopolymers and plant based materials. She is making waves as an entrepreneur and sustainability champion, bringing eight years of industry experience, and a lifetime of advocacy for the planet to her decisions both in business and the way she lives her life.She and Ted discuss the inspiration for Rogue Wave, which all started with her kids and their beach toys that were swept out into the ocean by a wave. It hit her when she scrambled to get them all back onshore, enjoying this interface between land and sea, and using products that were detrimental to its health. She decided then that she had to make a better product, and wanted to make conventional, oil-based plastics obsolete.She shares the challenges she faced in engineering and manufacturing, almost throwing in the towel at times. While searching for a truly compostable, petroleum-free material for her beach toy products, Kate realized her mission had to be bigger than beach toys, and to create the biggest positive impact on the global plastics economy, she needed to make this material available to the world. Kate's ultimate goal is to change the way these products are made and bought. Her innovative, patented, compostable beach toys, made from biopolymers and designed to compost, reflect both her commitment to environmental stewardship and to shifting the materials economy and consumer expectation. 

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Dr. Joel Peterson, Vice Chancellor and Executive Operations Officer for the San Diego Community College District, overseeing one of California's largest community college systems. Prior to his career in higher education, he served in various roles in the private sector with major corporations where he was responsible for operations, including finance, technology, capital projects, global strategy, and marketing.

In hour three, following the early success of the Four Nations tournament by the NHL, should the NBA consider a similar tournament? The Dolphins announce two more players have been cut by the team today. Plus, we review a ranking of Flanigan's menu items and share everyone's love for the iconic South Florida restaurant. After, facing reality that the Heat are at rock bottom following a four game losing skid.

The HEAT continue to struggle and have hit rock bottom. Debating whether the Dolphins would trade Tua & Tyreek Hill to the Titans for the #1 overall pick. Josh Appel joins the show to recap his takeaways from the Super Bowl. Clay Ferraro joins the show to discuss the Heat's flaws and whether the Heat could realistically be in play for Durant this summer. Plus, we review a ranking of Flanigan's menu items and share everyone's love for the iconic South Florida restaurant.

Meghan Flanigan & Mario Rosero are the owners of the restaurant Prudencia in Bogotá, Colombia. Prudencia is a timeless restaurant in La Candelaria, an old building reformatted by the architect Simón Veléz. It's only open for lunch and when you eat there it feels like you're hanging out at a friend's house. You are free to move around the place. To take a snack off their homemade grills in the back garden or to linger for far longer than you might anywhere else. There's no specific style of food you can point too, other than they mostly cook over wood and use Colombian ingredients. An idea for a plate might happen anywhere, sometimes a book, and not necessarily a cookbook.You'll hear in the interview how everything about their process seems counterintuitive about how restaurants are supposed to be run. For example, they pay their staff well above average to the point that they hardly ever leave, plus post-pandemic they raised wages and menu prices significantly while reducing the capacity. The menu is never the same, changing every single week. Prudencia is a restaurant that thinks a lot about balance. About human balance. Maintaining working relationships. The nutritional balance you feel when dining there and how your body feels afterward.Mario says, “I don't think we can go back to what did pre-pandemic. To sell the most affordable quality at the highest volume you can do.”They talk about their future plans, which includes closing the restaurant, very soon actually, and taking a long sabbatical, taking a step back and reevaluating everything, before completely reinventing themselves. Whatever it is I'm excited for it.READ MORE AT NEW WORLDER

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Dr. Jennifer Bousselot, Assistant Professor at Colorado State University (CSU) in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture. Jennifer is exploring new and innovative ways to improve the productivity and aesthetics of modern urban spaces by harnessing the twin powers of the sun and plantlife. She specializes and is a leading expert in green roof research on native species evaluations, plant drought tolerance, integration with solar panels, and rooftop agrivoltaics. Jennifer shares a bit about her background, growing up on a 360-acre farm in Iowa, and was the youngest of 8 kids. She and her twin sister worked on the farm, and carried their deep farming roots into their careers. She earned her undergraduate and master's degrees at Iowa State University, and after a stint as a horticulture agent for the CSU Extension office in Douglas County, she followed her passion and pursued a doctorate of science in horticulture at CSU.Jennifer shares details on her green roofs project for her doctoral thesis, highlighting how she came upon rooftop agrovoltaics as a happy accident, finding there was a great synergy between the plants and solar panels; the plants grew better, and the solar performed better because of the plants' cooling effect. With a roster of graduate students and researchers, her team is pushing the boundaries of horticultural science with numerous pieces of published research and scientific discovery every year. She goes into the history of green roofs, and discusses her research on rooftop agrivoltaics and its benefits, including enhanced food production and security, improving clean energy pathways, and exploring sustainability integrations. 

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Michael Ware, Senior Solar Specialist at EcoMotion Inc. Michael provides expertise in solar system site inspection. He is adept at measuring roof potential and modeling the cost-effectiveness of solar investments. His financial analyses include particular attention to electricity load profiles and rates and rate changes as a result of solar. As an expert in utility rate structures and how they impact the return on investment of a given investment, Michael has developed tools for weighing the value of different components, and comparing different scenarios.Ted and Michael dive into a discussion on electric utility rates and options, the amounts that large facilities, schools, and municipal and corporate facilities pay for power, and finding potential errors that can result in big savings. Michael shares that utility rates and rate components are in a constant state of flux, and encourages customers to make sure they are on the right rate.Michael also discusses rate components, such as energy and demand charges, breaking down basic rate categories, as well as the time of use and seasonal aspects. He shares the tools he uses to analyze rates via interval data, and how and why customers end up on the wrong rates in the first place. He and Ted highlight the primary findings of their clients' case studies. They found rate errors which led to big savings, which have been amplified by the dramatic utility rate escalation. They conclude by stating that it is well-worth customers' time, energy, and payments to acknowledge critical peak pricing, and to invest in rate checks and analysis.  

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, father-daughter duo, Ted and Sierra Flanigan host the clean energy crash course focusing on energy resilience, specifically on  electricity, highlighting the importance of durability and reliability in the face of changing climate conditions and extreme weather events. Resilience is simply keeping the lights on during utility emergencies, and more accurately, critical loads for medical equipment, communications, security systems, etc.As Southern California is still dealing with devastating wildfires, Ted addresses how resilience is now top of mind for homeowners, business owners, and EcoMotion's clients. Thousands of households and businesses have suffered, and will continue to suffer, from power outages – some for more than a day – as dangerously high wind gusts knock out electricity and utilities impose precautionary power safety shutdowns. With the imminent threat of climate change, the grid will undoubtedly become less stable as these events increase in the number and severity, posing economic impacts, and a danger to the health and lives. Ted discusses critical loads, shares his recommendations on making your home or business more energy resilient, highlights lessons learned from EcoMotion's resilience works, and addresses equitable pathways to foster resilience in the future. 

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Bill Wyatt, CEO and Founder of Red Mountain Biochar, a company dedicated to revolutionizing the use of sustainable materials in the concrete, steel, and agricultural industries. Bill Wyatt is a third-generation lumberman turned eco-entrepreneur with a deep commitment to environmental stewardship. His work spans continents and industries, making him a pioneer in the regenerative business movement.Bill shares his journey from the lumber industry to now leading the development and production of high-quality biochar, harnessing lumber and agricultural wastes to create innovative solutions that reduce carbon footprints, enhance soil health, and strengthen communities worldwide. Red Mountain Biochar turns biomass residuals, like sawdust and wood chips, into biochar through pyrolysis. This sustainable solution helps reduce waste and generate revenue from materials once considered costly to dispose of. The innovative pyrolysis technology not only provides sustainable solutions but also offers significant carbon credits, helping industries achieve a greener footprint.With projects in Tanzania, India, and beyond, Bill explains how biochar improves soil health, reduces water usage, and even makes concrete carbon-neutral—all while building a sustainable business model and contributing to climate resilience. Bill believes that integrating biochar into business practices isn't just eco-friendly; it's a game-changing strategy for sustainable growth.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Dr. Missy Stults, Sustainability and Innovations Director at City of Ann Arbor, working with all city operations, residents, businesses, the University of Michigan, nonprofits, and others to make Ann Arbor one of the most sustainable and equitable cities in America. Dr. Stults has dedicated 20 years of focus and national level expertise on urban resilience and climate change in an array of roles, prior to joining the City. She has worked on adaptation to climate change since 2004, as the Climate Director at ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability and as a consultant to philanthropic organizations. Missy holds dual PhDs from the University of Michigan in urban & regional planning and natural resources & the environment. She also has her Masters in Climate and Society from Columbia University, and undergraduate degrees in Marine Biology and Environmental Science from the University of New England.She and Ted focus their conversation around some big and recent news out of the City: 79% of Ann Arbor voters voted to form a Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU). An SEU is another form of utility, rooted in energy efficiency, activated locally, and intended to be an accelerated pathway for the community to promote clean energy to meet its 2030 climate commitment. Ann Arbor's SEU is an opt-in, supplemental community-owned energy utility that will provide energy from local solar and battery storage systems. It will also implement networked geothermal systems beginning with a 232-home project in a low income neighborhood, also serving a public school and community center. Thanks to the SEU, green energy will be provided to residents and businesses through direct installations on their properties, as well as through small-scale distribution systems such as networked systems or microgrids.Missy and Ted discuss the benefits of the City's SEU: improved energy reliability at times when the grid goes down through increased access to solar and energy storage and shared geothermal systems - all City owned, energy justice initiatives, including broad and deep access to renewable energy, and the creation of programs for low income and underserved residents, including workforce training opportunities, and the expansion of weatherization services. 

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Janet Irizarry, Founder of My Mindful Kitchen, an innovative course designed to reduce food waste, connect families, and foster sustainability. As a mindful foodie, a seasoned restaurateur and entrepreneur, and influencer, Janet combines all of her passions: food, education and course design, raising children, and protecting the environment, to teach children valuable lessons about mindfulness, sustainability, and community, while also strengthening familial bonds. Janet is also the Founder of Hudson Valley EATS, a bimonthly column that she started several years ago to highlight food entrepreneurs and restaurant owners in the Hudson Valley. However, during the pandemic, she shifted its focus to raise money and raise awareness for sustainability and hunger relief organizations in the area. She decided to use the platform to ensure that "Everyone EATS" in the Hudson Valley, and that has been the main focus ever since.She and Ted dig into the My Mindful Kitchen (MMK) Method, which offers practical solutions to household food waste, addressing a critical issue contributing to climate change. Aligned with the EPA's Wasted Food Scale, Janet explains that the program focuses on preventing waste before it starts, encouraging mindful consumption, and making sustainability an easy part of everyday life. In her course, she touches on healthy eating and cooking, though the core of the program is equipping families with the tools to tackle common challenges—like overbuying, disorganization, and poor planning—and create meaningful, positive change.Janet concludes by sharing that the course launched on January 2nd, and her goal is to help families recognize that food choices matter—not just for physical health, but also for emotional well-being, the health of others, and the planet. By fostering this awareness, families can transform unpleasant feelings about big issues like inflation, political uncertainty, and climate change into a sense of empowerment. She believes that each family and individual has the power to make a significant difference in shaping a better future.

Famous today for the shops lining its sloped street, the Ponte Vecchio is the last premodern bridge spanning the Arno River at Florence and one of the few remaining examples of the once more prevalent urbanized bridge type. Drawing from early Florentine chronicles and previously unpublished archival documents, The Ponte Vecchio: Architecture, Politics, and Civic Identity in Late Medieval Florence (Brepols, 2024) by Dr. Theresa Flanigan traces the history of the Ponte Vecchio, focusing on the current bridge's construction after the flood of 1333. Much of the Ponte Vecchio's original fourteenth-century appearance is now obscured beneath later accretions, often mistakenly interpreted as original to its medieval character. To the contrary, as argued in this book and illustrated by new reconstruction drawings, the mid-trecento Ponte Vecchio's vaulted substructure was technically advanced, its urban superstructure was designed in accordance with contemporary Florentine urban planning strategies, and its "beautiful and honorable" appearance was maintained by government regulations. The documents also reveal new information about the commission and rental of its famous shops. Relying on these sources, this study offers a more complete history of the Ponte Vecchio, adding significantly to what is currently known about the bridge's patronage and construction, as well as the aims of civic architecture and urban planning in late medieval Florence. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode, Jon talks with Triple Play member, Larry Flanigan.

Today's cast: Dan, Stugotz, Chris, Billy, Jessica, Lucy, and Mike. The Dan Le Batard Show has begun a Holiday Toy Drive as Tony camps out at the Flanigan's on Bird Road dressed as Cuban Santa waiting for fan donations. If you want to donate, can also drop off toys at Corner Coffee at The Elser Hotel. Help us help families this holiday season! The crew kicks off today's show by exploiting Papi without Dan's permission. Then, while everyone should be discussing Travis Hunter and his incredible play on the field during his Heisman Trophy winning season, people on the internet seem more concerned with his personal life. Why do people online believe they should be giving Hunter dating advice? That conversation brings Lucy back to her story from yesterday about Brianna Chickenfry, and, because we made the mistake of opening this can of worms, another song from Jeremy. Plus, Mike is unsurprisingly upset that Cam Ward finished as low as he did in the Heisman voting despite Dan being one of Ward's six (6) first place votes which leads to...you guessed it: another Jeremy Christmas song. Enough already. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Matthew Halteman, Professor of Philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and fellow in the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, UK. He is the author of the just-released Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan, as well as Compassionate Eating as Care of Creation, and the co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments About the Ethics of Eating.Matt has focused his career on ethical food choices, and how that all fits in with the path to sustainable living. He and Ted discuss his new book, and how he aims to shift how people view the process of going vegan, framing it as a joyful opportunity rather than an obligation. He views it as an incremental journey rather than an identity earned by perfection. He points out that veganism is aspirational, and something to continually strive towards. He also considers how one can live out going vegan in realistic and adaptable ways, giving advice particularly to college students. He encourages them to work towards the end goal of a vegan life, while accommodating the limitations of prepaid meal plans that may not prioritize a wide array of vegan options. He suggests these students can be preparing for more intentional dietary changes for when they have more food autonomy.He concludes by drawing similarities between his theory of change, and EcoMotion's philosophy of "The Power of the Increment." He encourages his readers to take small steps that move them in the direction toward veganism, refusing to expect perfection or judgement when falling short based on access or circumstance, especially when there is continual striving and incremental growth in that direction.

Today's Cast: Dan, David, Chris, Roy, Tony, Mike, Jess. That might be our cast, but the real star of the show is Taylor, who ran circles around Adam Schefter on the scoop that Bill Belichick is becoming the head coach at the University of North Carolina. That guy at Flanigan's who told Dan "less Taylor" is going to be mad because Taylor unleashes a rant on all of us to celebrate the program he walked on at hiring the greatest coach in NFL history. As Taylor continues to celebrate, the rest of the crew breaks down the hire and shares in disbelief that we've reached a point where Belichick can take a college job and have people doubt his ability to do a good job at it.

In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Charles Hua, Founder and Executive Director of PowerLines, a new nonprofit organization aiming to modernize utility regulation to accelerate affordable, reliable, and clean energy for American consumers. He is also an energy analyst who has worked at Rewiring America, DOE's Loan Programs Office, and now at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a research affiliate.Charles wants people to pay attention to the enormous influence that public utility commissions (PUCs) have on the U.S. energy transition, and get involved with this long-neglected area, pushing for a utility regulatory system that can better serve American consumers, grow the economy, and support communities. His concern is that most states have an outdated utility regulatory system that is not prepared to tackle modern energy challenges. He also claims that there are 200 commissioners controlling the monopolistic utilities at the heart of America's electricity system, with over 200 billion dollars in utility spending.By engaging with the people, policies, and processes needed to deliver on this agenda, PowerLines approach is to pull together a big tent coalition of people interested in public utility commission (PUC) reform, including PUC staffers themselves, state legislators, clean energy providers and customers, academics and researchers, as well as grassroots groups. They'll serve as a hub for modernizing utility regulation by bringing together these diverse stakeholders to share ideas, resources, and solutions on a path forward to effective utility regulation.Charles and Ted dig into the problems with PUCs, discussing the unrestrained, unregulated authority over the U.S. electricity system. With the immense power and significance on the country's clean energy future, Charles highlights opportunities for reform, including the revision of statutes, the effectiveness of integrated resource plans, decarbonization, equity, and creating more latitude or space for regulators to embrace a more forward-thinking, innovation-oriented mindset.

Your approach is thoughtful and shows a strong design intuition. Marie suggests starting by editing and curating the meaningful red pieces that can blend into a nuanced, rust-toned color palette. This will harmonize the deep red with softer, neutral hues to maintain a cohesive look. Introducing symmetry in the room layout can create a more inviting ambiance. Consider placing matching sofas facing each other across the fireplace or using two chairs that complement the existing seating arrangement. For the coffee table, Marie recommends considering a round shape to improve flow, and opting for materials like light wood, marble, or plaster for a touch of organic elegance. Enhancing the space with floor-to-ceiling drapery can add warmth and finish, while also making the room feel more tailored and spacious. Opt for fabrics like linen or wool sateen, which offer both style and functionality. Layering textures is key, so think about incorporating elements like leather chairs or mohair pillows. A secondary rug, such as an antique Ushak with rust tones, could be layered over the current neutral rug to add richness. For a further touch of coziness, consider wallpapering with a textured option like seagrass. Don't forget the impact of lighting—adding matching table lamps or a console table behind the sofa with additional lamps can brighten the room and enhance its inviting atmosphere. Overall, simplifying and editing accessories, like aligning artwork or choosing standout vases for the mantle, will ensure the space remains serene and cohesive. Best of luck with the redesign, and we hope these tips help transform your friend's living room into a cozy and stylish retreat! - How to Decorate Also Mentioned: Marie Flanigan | Website @marieflaniganinteriors | Instagram 'The Perfect Room' | Order Your Copy!
