Podcasts about James Madison

The College Football Playoff is here. In this episode, we pop the hood on the four first round matchups and break down our biggest questions. Is Oklahoma more lucky than good? Can Alabama's offense get out of its rut? How will Miami's offensive line hold up against Texas A&M's front four and a loud Kyle Field? Are the Aggies trustworthy? To what degree will Ole Miss feel the absence of Lane Kiffin? Can Oregon run against James Madison? And do both Tulane and JMU belong in the College Football Playoff? Plus, breaking news with both DJ Lagway and Dylan Raiola reportedly jumping in the transfer portal, the latest names in the Michigan coaching search, and Fernando Mendoza's Heisman victory.

Hosts Brad Fowler and Alex Higdon break down all the biggest storylines from around the NFL and College Football — from massive playoff implications to a shifting Super Bowl picture and a loaded CFP first round slate. We cover — the Broncos making a statement win over the Packers and why Denver suddenly looks like a legitimate Super Bowl favorite in the AFC. Bo Nix delivers his best performance of the season, the offense finds balance, and the defense remains elite as questions about Denver’s ceiling are officially answered. On the other side, the Packers’ season takes a dramatic turn as injuries pile up, including Micah Parsons, leaving Green Bay limping toward the playoffs and no longer looking like a true contender. Plus — the Chiefs dynasty over? Kansas City falls again as the offense continues to look broken, and we dive into what the future holds for Patrick Mahomes, potential roster turnover, and why this feels like a rebuild rather than a reboot. Meanwhile, Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers keep finding ways to win despite major offensive line issues, showing just how much coaching still matters in the NFL. We also break down Josh Allen once again putting the cape on as the Bills storm back from down 21–0 against the Patriots. While Allen has carried Buffalo over the past month, major concerns remain about the Bills’ defense and their ability to survive in the playoffs. On the New England side, we discuss how quickly the Patriots have closed the gap under Vrabel and McDaniels, Drake Maye’s growth, and why this team feels ahead of schedule. In other NFL action, the Rams continue to look like a Super Bowl-caliber team as Matthew Stafford plays at an MVP level and the run game surges late in the season. We ask whether the Lions have ruined their playoff hopes, why Detroit’s defense remains a glaring issue, and how dangerous Los Angeles could be down the stretch.  In College Football, we make our picks for the CFP first round — breaking down Alabama vs Oklahoma, Texas A&M vs Miami, Ole Miss vs Tulane, and James Madison at Oregon. We dive into key matchups in the trenches, quarterback play, roster mismatches, and why some of these games may not be as close as they look on paper. Plus — NFL Game Balls, and more.

This Day in Legal History: Bill of Rights RatifiedOn December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights was officially ratified, marking a foundational moment in American legal history. With Virginia becoming the crucial eleventh state to approve the measure, the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution achieved the three-fourths majority required for adoption. These amendments were crafted in response to fears that the newly formed federal government might trample on individual freedoms, a concern strongly voiced by the Anti-Federalists during the Constitution's ratification debates. Drafted primarily by James Madison, the Bill of Rights was intended to secure essential civil liberties and limit government power.The amendments enshrine core protections such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, the right to bear arms, and safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures. They also provide important rights to those accused of crimes, including the right to a fair trial, protection against self-incrimination, and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment. At the time, these provisions applied only to the federal government, but their scope was later expanded through the Incorporation Doctrine using the Fourteenth Amendment.The ratification of the Bill of Rights represented a political compromise but ultimately became a defining element of American constitutional identity. Over the centuries, courts have invoked these amendments in countless rulings, from free speech cases to gun rights and due process protections. The Bill of Rights not only shapes modern legal debates but also remains a symbol of the nation's enduring commitment to individual liberty and the rule of law. Its ratification on this day in 1791 continues to influence how justice is understood and delivered in the United States.Judge Hannah Dugan of the Milwaukee County Circuit Court is on trial for allegedly obstructing an immigration arrest in her courtroom, a case seen as a test of Donald Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement policies. Federal prosecutors accuse Dugan of helping a Mexican migrant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, evade arrest by redirecting ICE agents and escorting the defendant through a non-public exit after his hearing. Dugan, who has been suspended from the bench, has pleaded not guilty to charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstructing federal proceedings.Prosecutors claim she acted corruptly and misled law enforcement, allegedly showing anger when she learned of ICE's presence and insisting a judicial warrant was needed. Dugan's defense argues she acted in good faith, following courthouse policy designed to handle ICE encounters after previous controversial arrests. The trial highlights growing legal and political tensions around courthouse arrests, which critics say intimidate immigrants and undermine trust in the legal system. The outcome could influence how far judges and local officials can go in pushing back against federal immigration actions.Wisconsin judge faces trial for stopping courtroom arrest of migrant in Trump crackdown | ReutersCalifornia filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for cutting over $33 million in federal grants intended for commercial vehicle safety programs. The U.S. Department of Transportation, led by Secretary Sean Duffy, justified the funding termination by claiming California failed to properly enforce English proficiency requirements for truck drivers. California argues its standards align with federal rules and called the decision unlawful and harmful to public safety and the economy.The lawsuit comes amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to crack down on non-English-speaking and non-U.S. citizen truck drivers. This includes halting commercial driver visas and threatening similar funding cuts in states like New York and Minnesota. The administration has also targeted Democrat-led states for other transportation-related penalties. In California's case, the withheld funds were designated for safety inspections, audits, traffic enforcement, and education programs.California contends that its licensed drivers are involved in significantly fewer fatal crashes than the national average, challenging the administration's justification. The legal dispute reflects escalating tensions between federal agencies and Democratic states over immigration and transportation enforcement.California sues Trump administration over terminated transportation grants | ReutersA federal judge ruled that evidence seized from Daniel Richman, a former attorney for ex-FBI Director James Comey, was wrongfully retained by prosecutors, presenting a hurdle for any new charges against Comey. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the Department of Justice to return the files but allowed a sealed copy to remain with the court should prosecutors later obtain a valid warrant. Richman had filed a lawsuit claiming the DOJ had improperly held onto materials seized during an investigation that ended in 2021 without charges.While the judge found the DOJ's actions amounted to an unreasonable seizure, she declined to prevent the department from pursuing future leads based on the information already reviewed. The seized files had been used earlier this year to support an indictment against Comey, accusing him of making false statements and obstructing Congress over his 2020 testimony.That indictment, along with one against New York Attorney General Letitia James, was dismissed last month after it was found the prosecutor involved had been unlawfully appointed. The judge's ruling now complicates the DOJ's ability to revive its case against Comey, a frequent critic of Donald Trump and a central figure in past investigations into Trump's conduct.Judge says Comey evidence was wrongfully retained, creating hurdle for new charges | ReutersA California jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $40 million to two women who claimed its talc-based baby powder caused their ovarian cancer. The jury awarded $18 million to Monica Kent and $22 million to Deborah Schultz and her husband, finding the company failed to warn consumers despite allegedly knowing of the product's risks for decades. Both women testified that they used the powder for over 40 years and have undergone extensive cancer treatments since their diagnoses in 2014 and 2018.J&J denies the product causes cancer and plans to appeal the verdict, calling it an “aberrant” outcome. The company points out that no major U.S. health agency has definitively linked talc to ovarian cancer and argues that plaintiffs' claims rely solely on legal arguments rather than scientific consensus.This is the first talc trial to move forward since J&J's latest bankruptcy attempt, aimed at resolving over 67,000 similar lawsuits, was rejected by the courts. The company previously stopped selling talc-based baby powder in the U.S. in 2020. While it has faced some large verdicts—including a $4.69 billion award in a past case—it has also won dismissals and reductions on appeal. In addition to ovarian cancer claims, J&J is also facing suits linking its talc products to mesothelioma, with some recent verdicts exceeding $900 million.Jury orders Johnson & Johnson to pay $40 million to two women in latest talc trial | Reuters This is a public episode.

This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!Is it time for the Coyotes to take a seat at the FCS "grownup" table? In other words, to make room to expand the "Big Four" of FCS football — North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Montana State, Montana — to the "Big Five?"USD has made three consecutive quarterfinals, something NDSU and SDSU — who have split the last four national titles, two apiece — can't say after losing in the round of 16 on Saturday (but the Bobcats and the Grizzlies can).Unlike the Big Four, the Coyotes haven't played in an FCS national title game within the last four years, or ever. We'll find out how they stack up against a blue blood Saturday on ABC in a time window when Army-Navy will be the only other football game to watch on over-the-air TV.But Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer and Happy Hour host John Gaskins dig in to what three years of USD reaching this round means, particularly for a 2025 team that has won five consecutive games — four against ranked teams — and left a 47-0 bruise on SoCon champ Mercer, the nation's best (statistical) offense and rush defense, by holding the Bears to 277 total yards (227 short of their average) and bulldozing them for 316 rushing yards (226 over their average).So, will the Coyotes stack up to the Grizzlies better than the Jackrabbits, who were 50-burgered? Zim and John kick that around as well in this week's edition of their five-years-and-running weekly podcast "Nobody's Listening Anyway."Also on the docket:* Why is Zim happy for Jimmy Rogers at Iowa State, and why does he find it nonsense to bash his character for leaving Washington State after less than a year to take his third head coaching job in four years? And why, in hindsight, was he still the best choice to take over for John Stiegelmeier?* Why does Zim feel Chase Mason doesn't need to go to the Big Ten or SEC or any FBS school to show NFL pros he is worthy of an early rounds NFL Draft selection?* What is Zim's sense of how many SDSU players who aren't out of eligibility will stick around?* Does NDSU's early round exit from the FCS Playoffs make the postseason more interesting or more boring? Does it make the FCS stronger? Does it strengthen or weaken the case that the Bison should want to stay in the FCS?* Oh, and should James Madison's entry into the CFB Playoffs make the case for NDSU and SDSU to "move up?" Actually, Zim says no. Why?* Bowl games — yeah, their prestige has been weakened over the decades by the sheer volume of them, the number of top players sitting them out, and now the number of teams refusing to play in them. Does that mean they should all go away? Zim says no. Hear why.

Another week, another round of College Football chaos, and Notre Dame is at the center of all of it.

If you want real analysis, real numbers, and real picks without the fluff, this is the show.We start with the Army–Navy Game in Baltimore, diving into ATS trends, rushing efficiency, PPA data, and why Navy's offense behind Blake Horvath may be too much for an inconsistent Army defense. Then we roll into bowl season, breaking down matchups like Boise State vs Washington in the LA Bowl and Troy vs Jacksonville State in the IS4S Salute to Veterans Bowl — complete with strength-of-schedule notes, finishing-drive metrics, and who actually matches up better in the trenches.From there, we shift into the College Football Playoff First Round, starting with Alabama vs Oklahoma in Norman — a rematch with massive injury implications and turnover-margin red flags. We analyze whether Kalen DeBoer gets revenge, and why field position and special teams may decide it again.We also preview Miami vs Texas A&M, Ole Miss vs Tulane, and James Madison vs Oregon, breaking down talent gaps, explosiveness, havoc rate, and which underdogs actually have a shot.If you love data-driven CFB talk — SP+, PPA, five-factors, matchups, and honest betting insight — hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk 1st round of the college football playoffs. Plus, the guys also discuss Army vs navy and best bets. Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith open the show with quick banter before reviewing their 2-0 best-bet week, noting Ohio State–Indiana unfolded exactly as anticipated: low scoring, defenses strong, offenses vanilla by design, and neither team revealing much ahead of the postseason. They discuss how little the matchup changed their power ratings and then touch on Texas' playoff snub, criticizing the committee's logic and the incentives it creates. Turning to Army–Navy, they view the number as fair, lean to the under and the dog based on service-academy tendencies, and expect a slow, clock-draining, defensive game where Navy may win but Army should stay inside the number. They move to Oregon vs. James Madison, where Oregon is a large favorite at home. Lonte argues JMU's trench issues against Troy signal major problems in Autzen, though he prefers Oregon team-total overs due to their explosive home scoring. He expects Oregon to blitz early, build a big lead, and possibly allow a late backdoor if backups enter, while JMU's QB Barnett is dangerous enough to score in garbage time. Griffin agrees the over makes sense given Oregon's likelihood of dominating early and easing late. Next is Texas A&M vs. Miami, with A&M a small home favorite. They discuss Miami's strong close to the season, its road wins under pressure, and its argument for playoff inclusion. Both hosts criticize the ACC's decision-making but see Miami as undervalued. Lonte highlights Miami's defense, pass rush, and success vs. mobile QBs; he sees A&M as overrated, weakened late in the year, and fortunate in several wins. Griffin questions A&M's offense under Marcel Reed and doubts he can exploit Miami's secondary. Both lean Miami plus the points. They then cover Ole Miss vs. Tulane, a playoff rematch the committee could have avoided. Ole Miss, breaking in a new head coach but retaining its staff and play-calling continuity, already beat Tulane 45–10 and has major motivational edges: first playoff appearance, first home playoff game, and desire to prove stability post-Lane Kiffin. Tulane's coach is outbound, and its offense lacks firepower. Lonte expects another decisive Ole Miss win and sees them as undervalued relative to Oregon's larger spread. Finally, they analyze Alabama at Oklahoma, with Alabama a small road favorite. Lonte expects Alabama to close as the favorite, believing sharp money will land on the Tide despite their poor showing vs. Georgia. He argues Oklahoma's offense is limited, over-dependent on QB Mateer's legs, and unlikely to exploit Alabama vertically, while Alabama's run defense and preparation time favor a tighter, more disciplined Tide performance. Griffin questions how OU's home field and Alabama's inconsistency factor in, but both see Alabama as the higher-rated team despite the earlier head-to-head loss. They close with best bets: Lonte on Ole Miss −17.5, projecting another blowout; Griffin on Miami +3.5, citing matchup advantages and skepticism of A&M's offense.

The college football playoff field is finally SET — and the Foxx Den Sports Podcast crew has thoughts.

A shocker in the Big Ten flips our weekend on its head: Ohio State falls to Indiana, and we dive straight into how it happened. We break down the chess match in the trenches, why Indiana kept hammering the right side, and how red zone confusion turned short-yardage into missed chances. Credit where it's due—Curt Cignetti has a plan and a program—but we also talk accountability, from who's holding the play sheet to why your best players can't be spectators when the game hangs on one drive.From there, we zoom out to a bracket that feels equal parts merit and marketing. We debate Alabama vs. Notre Dame vs. Miami, the quiet power of bowl geography, and how “neutral” sites can become home games with nicer logos. We welcome chaos with a grin—James Madison, Tulane, and the potential for real upsets—because a playoff should have room for disbelief. Then we get practical about NIL and the transfer portal: let players get paid and move, but create contract terms that protect both the athlete and the team from nonstop churn.Between all the football, we savor the absurd: a Pop-Tart mascot toasted and devoured, trophy toasters, and the kind of sponsorship theater that makes college football wonderfully strange. And we open up about life off the mic—riding a packed train to the Browns game, swapping food takes (Wendy's, fix the lettuce), and building our new retro game and record shop in Finley while wrestling with permits, inspections, and long nights. It's football, it's hustle, it's community, and it's a reminder that resilience shows up on the field and in the storefront.If you vibe with candid breakdowns, wild bowl lore, and real small-business grit, hit follow, share with a friend, and drop your playoff upset pick in a review. We read them all—and we'll shout out the sharpest takes next week.Send us a text message and let us know how awesome we are!

Establishing the Capital and the Rise of Political Division — Nathaniel Philbrick — Washington selected the Potomac River as the location for the new national capital, believing it would economically connect Western and Eastern commercial interests, despite claims of obvious self-interest regarding Mount Vernon's proximity. As Washington worked deliberately to unite the fractured nation through personal tours and diplomatic engagement, political divisions paradoxically hardened and crystallized; Thomas Jefferson and James Madison organized systematic opposition during a "northern tour," strategically recruiting Philip Freneau to attack the Washingtonadministration. Philbrick notes the historical irony that James Monroe, formerly a critic of Washington, later adopted Washington's touring methodology to heal national divisions during his own presidency. Philbrickconcludes that despite Washington's profound contradictions as a slaveholder and politician, his aspirational effort to create a functioning American Union remains his enduring historical legacy. 1700

Norm wakes up on a Monday and immediately chooses violence… toward the College Football Playoff Committee. In today's episode, he tries to make sense of a ranking system that apparently pulls names out of a decorative bowl, rewards three-loss teams, and somehow decided James Madison is the belle of the postseason ball while Notre Dame and BYU get left standing outside holding the corsage.If you thought the BCS was bad, congratulations — we've upgraded to BCS: Reloaded, now with bonus nonsense. Norm breaks down the committee's “logic,” why head-to-head apparently matters only when it's convenient, and how a game played in AUGUST somehow shaped December rankings.Spoiler: Norm is unimpressed.

What a finish! After 14 weeks of an incredible season, college football may have saved the best for last. In this episode, we walk back through the biggest storylines for all nine conference championship games in Week 15, starting with Indiana defying expectations and closing out a thin win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship. Not to be outdone, Georgia layed the smack down on Alabama, winning the SEC for the second straight year and potentially throwing the CFP bubble into a state of disarray. Does the Tide still deserve a playoff bid? Speaking of chaos, the unranked Duke Blue Devils upset Virginia to take the ACC, opening up the possibility that the conference will be left out entirely with two Group of Five teams sneaking in the side door. And finally, Texas Tech took care of business and beat BYU for the second time this season by a 20+ point margin.
