EVENT REMINDERS: Come see me in CHICAGO TONIGHT at 6PM. U-M Club of Fairfield is hosting an online Q&A at noon tomorrow. And then Monday, August 25 is U-M Club of Greater Detroit's kickoff w/ me, Isaiah and Henschke, and hosted by Ira. Things Discussed: The NCAA's NOA: Not surprised it was nonsense; not surprised it was just money because they can't risk operating this anywhere that facts matter. Surprised how little they actually had. They only had one two witnesses, both of them whom the report called liars, for Signgate, and one witness, whom the report also called a liar. Whenever evidence was presented it undermined their conclusions. This was, from the start, about getting Harbaugh out of college football, because he was not wired for putting up with their bullshit. Sherrone--and this comes off in the report and in his response--is one who knows how to play ball. That's all they want: is for you to tell them they're relevant. If you play ball (Sherrone, Compliance, Partridge) they praise you; if you expose them for the frauds they are, they'll do all they can. Nobody still staying it mattered is someone you ever have to listen to again. Michigan got better without Stalions. They were that good because they were better football players. I never want to hear Stalions's name again, because it just takes away from the actual accomplishments of Mike Sainristil. Game in Germany? Not 100% sure it's happening. Me: whatever. I'm not gonna go to Europe to see one of my teams; I want to go to Europe to see Europe. Savion Hiter: The balance stands out. He has a Beastquake on his highlights: Reminds me of watching Ricky Powers as a kid. Comp will probably be Corum. Big Nickel: The math is when on offense removes a slot for a TE they still have a lot of receiving ability on the field; when Michigan matches by removing a DB for a DT they now have to match the TE with somebody else, and thus far it's been the SAM: Harrell, Stewart, Guy. Offenses in the NFL have been exploiting that so defenses have come up with big nickels (e.g. Kyle Hamilton) in place of their SAMs who still have the length to hold an edge in the run game against a TE but can also cover a TE down the field. Mason Curtis has the perfect build for it. Questions people ask on the road? How good is Bryce, what will the offense look like, who is this guy Craig Ross?

We have to talk about the NCAA NOA Starts at 0:54 A great exercise in bad faith, and deeply insulting to Mike Sainristil. NCAA doesn't want to go to court because they'll lose, so they produced a blustery document to make it about money. Clearly Stalions should not have been part of any organization. If Jim Harbaugh is still the head coach when this comes out they would have had to fire him. But these are clearly minor violations hopped up as an extension of Harbaugh's reaction to telling them to go to hell for Burgergate, and part of a pattern of the NCAA coming after him personally. We're actually shocked at how bad all of their evidence is: 1) Stalions who's a liar. 2) Joey Velazquez, who recorded Stalions, tried to entrap Partridge, and Partridge proved was lying about their interaction, and for the Level II recruiting violations 3) a player who was broomed from the class whom the NCAA also admitted didn't have his stories straight. The only evidence they had of an atmosphere of noncompliance was an assistant (likely Stalions) saying screw Compliance. When they say the benefit was not marginal they don't even try to justify that take—Michigan got better without Stalions. The report makes its conclusion on the value of this entirely on the basis of the lengths that Stalions went to trying to get film when the guy goes to extreme lengths to pump up his own importance as a rule. Their defining piece of evidence is Harbaugh gave him a game ball, when they also say they found Harbaugh gave out 15 game balls per game to try to make sure everyone on staff got one, and Connor's value was so little that he a defensive ball from Iowa. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defensive Line Starts at 16:16 Rayshaun Benny was grading out like Mason Graham—see: the end of the OSU and Alabama games. He is not Mason Graham, but should be able to keep up that sort of ratio because they are so deep they can keep him fresh at the end of games. Tre Williams is a Mazi Smith, M valued him more than Clemson did; he isn't a pass-rusher. Damon Payne is an innings-eater. Ike Iwunnah too. Trey Pierce and Enow Etta are the ones we want to see emerge because they have eligibility for next year. Pierce is on that track while Etta gained weight after getting pushed around last year, is ticketed for the Jenkins role. If a 7th DT plays we think it's Palepale, who looks huge and athletic. Edge has a floor of All-Big Ten and a ceiling of Derrick Moore turning into a Day 1 pick. He is that freakish combination of technique, length, and athleticism, got better at dropping into coverage last year, has a Mike Morris style of pass rush that should work. Last year he was getting to the quarterback but everyone else got there before him. TJ Guy is possibly the smartest guy on the field, had the most dip of last year, underrated strength, lots of versatility, though hit a ceiling when it came to carrying Flex TEs. Saved Michigan vs OSU. Cam Brandt is the established backup to D-Mo; we're a little iffy on him, but he might be on the Morris track. Backup to Guy is Nichols—clearly the program likes him but unproven. Would like to see Nate Marshall used in a pass rush only role this year. Would like to see Baxter and Edokpayi playing more this year too. 3. Linebacker Starts at 50:02 Everybody came back/is healthy after they prepared to lose everyone, so there's a lot of age and a lot of depth. Ernest Hausmann is the glue of the offense, another very underrated player who moves like a nickel and reads plays well. Had to get in better shape because when you're the button you can't be breathing hard between plays—you have to yelling. Barham is the Problem for offenses, because you can't block him with a RB and you have to block someone with the RB. Been caught "covering grass" as we say but has the ability to blow up. Can also spend time at edge if need be. Depth is incredible. Rolder is your Braiden McGregor-memorial back-from-injury senior who's going to play plenty and play well but start losing time to Cole Sullivan, the next Barham who's rocked up and earning a ton of practice hype after being under-ranked out of high school by 247 and ESPN (On3 moved him up to #112 so I couldn't make him the Sleeper of the Class). Also got Troy Bowles who's got a role as the Coverage LB. And Jaydon Hood has shown he can play. AND they really like the freshmen: Owusu-Boateng is a future Hausmann while Chase Taylor is a Class Sleeper. 4. Secondary Starts at 1:16:28 Replete with options, but each has a question mark. Is Rod Moore going to play? Maybe 2nd half of the season—was 85% at start of fall, has to backpedal, IG video shows him jogging. Assumed he's a nickel but TJ Metcalf is stepping in for him; Metcalfs (Metcalves?) can obviously play, precognition is Sainristilian. Brandyn Hillman is a hit stick, the person offensive players are most afraid of despite Barham on the team. Free safety is either Jaden Mangham, a glider whom offenses didn't throw at when at MSU (probably because you could throw at anyone else), or Mason Curtis, who is a very weird player. Curtis has an extra role as a Big Nickel, i.e. a hybrid OLB who comes in for Guy against 2TE sets to take away those Flex TEs. Might see something from a young guy but unlikely. Cornerback is the iffiest position on defense but has a super high ceiling with Jyaire and Zeke both with considerable runway. Hill just needs to not bite on double-moves. Berry got comfortable last year, still can clean up his zones and turn getting a hand on passes into interceptions. Depth starts with Jo'Ziah Edmond, a Ryan Walters special stolen from Walters. We think Shamari Earls looks like an immediately viable corner but is on more of a Jyaire development track (also ran track) as opposed to Will Johnson, who was super developed at this stage. Caleb Anderson did not impress us as much as the two #12s who preceded him. Jeremiah Lowe showed some things in spring; Seth thinks Jayden Sanders is going to play more than Lowe.

ESPN is considering a college football red zone, but it wouldn't include games on FOX. Donny is fine with it and is interested in it. Should Jim Harbaugh be punished by the NFL for what happened in college football?
Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: The NCAA has punished Michigan for the sign stealing scandal. ESPN is considering a college football red zone, but it wouldn't include games on FOX. Donny is fine with it and is interested in it. Should Jim Harbaugh be punished by the NFL for what happened in college football?
Surprise Name Game! Donny Football Debrief – Michigan Football was disciplined for the scandal of the 2023 season. Is this right? Poni says that the league shouldn't be seen as a refuge for coaches that get disciplined in college football. Donny says that Harbaugh should be disciplined by the NFL.
Mike Tomlin said that this defense can do historic things. The joint practice against the Bucs went so badly that Todd Bowles decided to rest his starters on offense tomorrow. Is this cause for concern? Poni says that this better not be a bad omen for the season, as the Steelers defense is the highest paid unit in the league. Calls. Our good friend Lou in Staten Island met up with Lawrence Timmons this Summer. Surprise Name Game! Donny Football Debrief – Michigan Football was disciplined for the scandal of the 2023 season. Is this right? Poni says that the league shouldn't be seen as a refuge for coaches that get disciplined in college football. Donny says that Harbaugh should be disciplined by the NFL.
Things Discussed: What kind of offense should Michigan be? They're really built to be a 1990s team: strong TEs and FBs, run-blocking OL, big-armed quarterback who doesn't have to make super-hard reads. Chip Lindsey is a balance guy, not a screen guy. He comes in, looks at what you're doing, and builds a functional passing game around it. What does that look like this year? Their base two plays can be the stuff that worked for 1997 Michigan/Kirk Ferentz: Run off-tackle to one side and rollout flood passes with a side of Bryce running out the other way, and some screens and play-action deep shots to keep them honest. The Left Tackle conundrum. Seth says it's Evan Link until Andrew Babalola is ready, Sam says don't count on that, but it sounds like that would be a mistake—shades of the 2017 tackle problem when their best player at RT was Juwan Bushell-Beatty but he couldn't pass-protect, and instead of changing what they do around that they went with Nolan Ulizio to start the season. They don't look like a run-first team in practice, says Sam. Well, they're probably having to practice passing a lot. Remember you can have a 400% increase in passing from last year and still barely hit their 2021 level. Sometimes you gotta be you and let the cards fall where they may. News hits mid-show that Michigan will receive their NOI tomorrow. Expectations? Brian: removing wins etc. is off the table. There will be a show-cause for Harbaugh and Stalions because they refused to participate—Harbaugh probably has a lot of unread text messages. Guessing a two-game suspension (which games?) for Sherrone because all they really have on Michigan is the “deleted texts” that he apparently retrieved immediately from an image. The math here is Michigan didn't really do anything. They had a signs guy; everyone had signs guys. They scouted Georgia; Georgia wasn't on the schedule. The NCAA needs to make it look as big as possible but they really aren't working with much because Michigan didn't cheat, Michigan didn't harm anybody, and Michigan didn't cover it up. So the NCAA will absolutely maximize the infinitesimal infractions: completely ignore any time served from the Big Ten's overreaction in 2023, punish Harbaugh for not being present, yeet Stalions, fine Michigan because money isn't real, and penalize Sherrone for the appearance of hiding evidence. Ohio State will be mad because this was their show from the start and they didn't get the lynching they wanted, but even when the NCAA is doing their best to be as unjust towards Michigan as possible, but Michigan really didn't give them anything to work with.
In this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast, hosts Rich, Matt, Garret, and Jared do the 2025 AFC West dynasty breakdown. They explore the Denver Broncos' revamped offense under Sean Payton, highlighting Bo Nix's dual-threat potential and potential sophomore regression in rushing, alongside JK Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey competing for backfield touches in a pass-heavy scheme. Evan Engram emerges as a prime tight end target, with Courtland Sutton locked in as the WR1 and young receivers like Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant vying for roles. Shifting to the Kansas City Chiefs, the discussion centers on Patrick Mahomes' efficiency despite lower volume, with Rashee Rice's suspension looming and additions like Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown adding speed. Running backs Isaiah Pacheco and rookie Brashard Smith are flagged for upside in Andy Reid's dink-and-dunk system, while Travis Kelce's age prompts questions about Noah Gray's takeover. For the Las Vegas Raiders, Pete Carroll's influence on Geno Smith's high-volume passing is analyzed, with Ashton Jeanty poised to enter elite RB tiers and Brock Bowers as the undisputed TE1. Rookies Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton battle Jacoby Meyers for WR snaps. Finally, the Los Angeles Chargers spotlight Justin Herbert's need to elevate amid a run-first Harbaugh approach, with Omarion Hampton's massive workload potential and Ladd McConkey's route-running prowess projecting him as a top-10 WR. Themes include rookie integration, injury risks, and long-term asset valuation, optimized for July 2025 dynasty builds. Fantasy Roster Rescue: Get your Roster Rescued!

It's Monday morning. The sun isn't up yet. Coffee's barely hot. But there I am, watching tape of Minnesota and texting my broadcast partners.That became a weekly ritual last season.Why? Because Greg Harbaugh Jr's offense caught my eye. Every red zone call. Every third down plan. Every subtle shift in the run game—it all felt intentional. It felt like the Gophers were winning games before they even kicked off.So I had to get to know the guy behind it. And in this episode of Y-Option, presented by our founding sponsor 76, Greg Harbaugh Jr dives into it all.How he builds his offense, how he develops quarterbacks, how he's chasing a dream and how he's helping P.J. Fleck and Minnesota become one of the most situationally sharp teams in the Big Ten.Here's what stood out:
The Bengals are signing tight end Noah Fant. John Harbaugh said Lamar Jackson is as good as any passer in history. Michael Phelps is going to help the Ravens learn to swim. Is JJ McCarthy going to be good? Joe thinks yes, Austin thinks no.
Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Paul Skenes thinks the Pirates are close, but need to make moves to make the team better. Aaron Rodgers said it's Arthur Smith's playbook, not his. Omar Khan said he likes the team, but doesn't rule out adding someone else. Bengals are signing tight end Noah Fant. John Harbaugh said Lamar Jackson is as good as any passer in history.

The guys debate the legendary call, argue over who's got the receipts, and throw down in a hilarious AFC & NFC West breakdown — complete with takes hotter than Clay's cinnamon roll cravings. We hit Raiders-Pete Carroll, Kyler's last shot, Harbaugh's Chargers, and Stafford's Rams… and yes, we end with the ultimate cut or keep breakfast battle.
The Mets swept the Angels, with Lindor breaking his slump. The Yankees lost in Toronto, committing four errors, leading to questions about Boone's leadership.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to Jerry Jones going full heel at Dallas Cowboys training camp by taking shots at Micah Parsons while still knowing he'll cave and pay him anyway. JT explains why Jerry—not Dak Prescott—is the biggest thing holding the Cowboys back from another Super Bowl and breaks down how his control obsession is wrecking the franchise from within. Then he goes all in on the Baltimore Ravens' 2025 Super Bowl expectations and puts John Harbaugh on the clock, calling out the hypocrisy in how fans give Harbaugh a pass but attack Mike Tomlin. JT says if Lamar Jackson doesn't win it all this year, it's not on him, it's on the coaching. JT also gives Ben Johnson his flowers for how he's already changed the entire culture of the Chicago Bears after one training camp practice and why his day-one move benching the whole offense is the start of something special in Chicago. Then it's time to rip the New York Giants, who JT calls the most clueless QB room in football with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, Tommy DeVito, and Jackson Dart in a battle that makes zero sense. JT closes out with a passionate breakdown of why Quinten Johnston might be on the verge of a breakout season under Jim Harbaugh and gives a heartfelt farewell to Tyrann Mathieu, calling him one of the greatest redemption stories the NFL has ever seen.
