This week, it's huddle time again. We have NO games to pick, not even the “Pro Bowl” and well the headlines will suffice. The NFL head coaching carousel has been busy since our last show. Robert Saleh gets a well deserved second chance as the old ball coach for the Titans. Mike McCarthy gets a very undeserved third chance at being a head coach for the Steelers. One and done? We take a moment to break down the AFC and NFC Championship Games. The Pats made enough plays on both sides of the ball to scoot past the Broncos. While the Seahawks and Rams put on a show, with Seattle moving onto Super Bowl 60. Is Sam Darnold elite? Will a former Dallas Cowboy make next year's big game?? Should the G-League make a play to become the next conference in College Basketball??? And do you Skimo bro???? Download and subscribe, rate and review.

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) is joined by Mike Lawson (@Mikesonoflaw) and Landis Barber (@LandisBarber) to reunite for a Mike & Mike edition tackling the latest sports law stories of the week.The team opens with Darien Mensah's NIL lawsuit, dissecting the Duke quarterback's attempt to enter the transfer portal despite an existing NIL agreement, the university's emergency TRO seeking to block his departure, and the confusion surrounding what the court actually permitted. The discussion explores the enforceability of NIL contracts in a post-House settlement world, the growing use of injunctions to preserve the “status quo,” and whether courts are becoming the primary arbiters of roster movement in college sports.Next, the conversation shifts to the San Francisco 49ers' investigation into a nearby electrical substation and whether prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields could be contributing to the team's unusually high rate of Achilles and soft-tissue injuries. Dan, Mike, and Landis talk causation versus coincidence, workplace safety obligations, and the legal significance of the 49ers publicly acknowledging an internal investigation.The episode then turns to the federal investigation into the death of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, with a breakdown of what it means for federal authorities to reopen scrutiny months later, the unusual circumstances surrounding the death certificate, and the legal challenges of determining causation without an autopsy.From there, the trio dives into the FTC's renewed enforcement of the Sports Agent Responsibility and Trust Act (SPARTA), after the agency sent letters to dozens of universities seeking information about athlete-agent relationships. The discussion focuses on why SPARTA has resurfaced now, how NIL has blurred traditional compliance lines, and whether federal oversight of agents could meaningfully reshape the college sports ecosystem.The episode wraps with Charles Bediako's NCAA eligibility battle, after the former Alabama center secured a TRO allowing him to play despite previously signing a two-way NBA contract. Dan and Landis analyze how courts are steadily eroding the NCAA's professional-amateur distinction, why the line between G League, overseas play, and NBA contracts has become nearly impossible to police, and what this case signals for future challenges by former professional athletes seeking a return to college sports.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor examine the Cavaliers' options as the trade deadline nears, including whether exploring the G League for short-term help is a signal of where the roster really stands. They break down the logic behind a potential 10-day look at Killian Hayes, what he could realistically provide, and what that says about Cleveland's need for ball-handling and organization. The discussion expands to possible deadline approaches and how pieces such as Lonzo Ball, De'Andre Hunter and Dean Wade factor into trade conversations, and why the front office continues to project belief in the group despite uneven performances. The episode closes with a behind-the-scenes look at how criticism is handled between the team and those covering it as expectations continue to rise. Learn more about your ad choices.

It is officially the offseason, unfortunately, but just because the confetti has been cleaned up does not mean the conversations about the CFP have stopped. In fact it is quite the opposite. The difference is these conversations are not about what is happening on the field. The debate continues to rage on as commissioners discuss potential expansion of the CFP. Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger discuss what happened in the meetings that were held in the week leading up to the National Championship. The Big Ten and the SEC seem to be at an impasse of how much they want the College Football Playoff to expand. With the deadline fast approaching, no decision appears in sight. Ross explains why these two commissioners hold all the power for this decision.Then, the guys shift from one hot button topic to the next. The transfer portal. Specifically one athlete. Darian Mensah. The Duke quarterback has officially entered the transfer portal even though he has a signed NIL contract with Duke. The Blue Devils are suing Mensah to prevent him from leaving. It is expected he will head to Miami to be their new quarterback. Andy and Ross discuss the differences between this situation and the one with Demond Williams and Washington. They share why it seems like Mensah has a good chance to win this case and how schools can prevent these situations in the future. Plus, they dive into Adidas' potential impact in this situation and their overall aggressive handling of NIL. Also, Duke wide receiver Cooper Barkate has entered the portal as well, with Miami being a favorite to land him too.Later, the big news in college athletics is no longer about football. It is over in the college basketball world as Charles Bediako has temporarily been granted the ability to return to Alabama basketball. There is a hearing next week that will determine whether or not he can return full-time. Bediako previously played at Alabama and entered the 2023 NBA Draft. Although he has never played in the NBA, he has played on multiple Summer League and G League teams. Andy and Ross discuss Bediako being allowed to play college basketball again and the impact this could have on college athletics.
