The Detroit Lions defense owned Day 2 of training camp. The offense intentionally worked short-game installs, which muted explosive plays, and Dan Campbell placed Detroit Lions offensive tackle Giovanni Manu on NFI with a previously undisclosed summer injury that will sideline him for a period of time. Why did the defense win Day 2? The defense executed, communicated and finished. Detroit Lions linebacker Derek Barnes baited and intercepted quarterback Jared Goff by bluffing a blitz then dropping into the passing lane. Detroit Lions edge rusher DJ Wonnum repeatedly disrupted plays, including blowing up a run and compressing the pocket even through contact. Detroit Lions defensive back Nick Whiteside stacked another strong day with a sharp pass breakup, which is how camp risers separate. As Jeff Risdon noted, the environment was quiet without fans, which made communication from leaders pop. Detroit Lions safety Chuck Clark directed traffic pre-snap and handled single-high responsibilities when Detroit worked base nickel. The overall theme was keep the ball in front, rally and end drives. How did the quarterbacks look in the short-game install? Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was efficient within the plan, hitting timing throws and moving the ball underneath. Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had an underwhelming day overall, including a hospital ball, but he also ripped a veteran hole shot to Detroit Lions wide receiver Greg Dortch between zone layers. Detroit Lions quarterback Luke Altmyer looked like a clean operator for the quick game, a baseline fit to run the Goff-style offense at a rudimentary level. The team period emphasized dink-and-dunk by design, not a lack of ambition. As Jeff Risdon emphasized, context matters in camp, because the offense was installing specific concepts rather than chasing chunk gains. What did Dan Campbell say about Giovanni Manu and early-camp sloppiness? Dan Campbell said Giovanni Manu is on NFI after disclosing a prior summer injury post-practice, and he will be out for a period of time. Campbell even floated twelve or fourteen weeks as placeholders, then stressed he did not know the exact timeline. Risdon read Campbell's tone as notably negative, and he added that you would struggle to find anyone in the media room who expects to see Manu in a Detroit uniform again. Campbell's on-field priorities remained clear, run the ball, stop the run and master situational football at the end of halves and games. With new voices, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, passing game coordinator Mike Kafka and tight ends coach Steve Hatten, early misalignments happened, including a re-huddle on the second team-play, which is acceptable on Day 2 without pads. Who flashed and what were the standout moments? Detroit Lions wide receiver Cedric Wilson delivered the play of the day, a one-handed snag over Detroit Lions cornerback Khalil Dorsey with perfect timing and toe-tap control. Wonnum's surge included beating Detroit Lions offensive lineman Larry Borom when Borom checked in as an extra tackle, and walking back Detroit Lions offensive tackle Devin Cochran on a rush rep. Detroit Lions right tackle Blake Miller had a mixed day against top competition, which is part of the growth curve. On special teams, Dortch took the first return rep and looked decisive, while Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa also rotated in. Detroit Lions defensive end Peyton Turner did not practice with a minor back issue. Barnes stood out in drills and at the podium, a composed, articulate presence after practice. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jaredgoff #teddybridgewater #lukealtmyer #giovannimanu #djwonnum #derekbarnes #khalildorsey #cedricwilson #gregdortch #chuckclark #peytonturner #amon-rast.brown #blakemiller #larryborom #mikekafka Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the PUP list, otherwise known as the physically unable to perform list, where Steelers cornerbacks Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey and Donte Kent all landed on Tuesday during the first day of training camp. What exactly is the PUP list, and its cousin, the NFI? What are the criteria for players being placed on those lists and what does it mean for their future?

Big Sal opened camp week with a full meltdown — six Packers on the PUP and NFI lists before a whistle blew, blood pressure somewhere it shouldn't go over a July transaction wire.

* Injury Updates: T'Vondre Sweat (DT) was placed on the active/non-football injury (NFI) list due to a hamstring issue, though it is not considered serious. Tim Patrick (WR) and Tyler Baron (EDGE) were both placed on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list—Baron continuing his recovery from the knee injury that put him on injured reserve last December, while Patrick is not expected to miss an extended period.* Under-the-Radar Watch: Keep a close eye on linebacker Kiko Mauigoa (#51), who is standing out as a player to watch during camp.* Quarterback Watch: All eyes are locked on Cade Klubnik as the quarterback room takes shape.* Wide Receiver Reps: Monitoring the wide receiver rotation closely, particularly looking at Omar Cooper Jr. getting reps with the first team compared to AD Mitchell.* Roster & Waiver Wire: Keeping a close watch on the waiver wire as a potential avenue for the Jets to address depth at both quarterback and linebacker. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit jetsunderground.substack.com

Second round pick Gabe Jacas finally signed but is placed on NFI. So far Jacas has not had a good start to his NFL career and may have to red shirt his first year in the league. Jones and Keefe are concerned about the edge rushers and thinks the offensive line could either go really well or really bad this year.

Detroit placed safety Brian Branch, safety Kerby Joseph and tight end Tyler Conklin on the physically unable to perform list, and it does not necessarily signal long-term loss. PUP only restricts on-field work at the start of camp, not meetings or rehab, and players can be activated at any time, even after a single day. Who went on the PUP list and what does it actually mean? Detroit Lions safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, plus tight end Tyler Conklin, will begin camp on PUP, which means they will not be in the first practice but can do meetings, conditioning and treatment. The PUP list is not injured reserve and activation can happen quickly. The move aligns with standard camp housekeeping. It keeps roster flexibility while athletic training staff finishes return-to-play ramps. It does not forecast a season timeline by itself, and there are examples of players coming off PUP after one day. PUP vs. NFI: what changes? On PUP, players are paid and have full access to coaches, meetings and trainers but cannot practice. The Non-Football Injury list functions similarly in practice limits, but pay is not guaranteed on NFI. When can Brian Branch return from his Achilles tear? Branch is not expected for the start of training camp. Host Jeff Risdon noted Branch tore his Achilles in December and cited the common 8 to 10 month window for a return-to-play ramp. He framed Halloween or the Germany trip timeframe as reasonable targets, with the goal of regaining his pre-injury form rather than rushing early-camp reps. The Lions have reinforced safety depth to absorb early-camp absences. Detroit Lions safety Chuck Clark, Detroit Lions defensive back Christian Izien and Detroit Lions defensive back Thomas Harper are in place to handle practice work until Branch is cleared. What is going on with Kirby Joseph after his tweet? Joseph is on PUP for knee management despite publicly betting he would avoid it, then following with a playful "y'all should have bet me" post after the designation. The team is managing his workload, and he can be activated at any time. Jefferson referenced an alleged degenerative knee condition and advocated for at least some preseason field testing so coaches know where he stands. Dan Campbell previously said the staff does not yet have a definitive answer and wants to find out during camp. The upside case remains obvious; Joseph led the NFL in interceptions in 2024, a version of Joseph that raises Detroit's defensive ceiling. How does Tyler Conklin's status impact tight end depth? Conklin missed mandatory minicamp with an undisclosed issue and starts on PUP, which stresses the depth more than safety does. Good Tyler Conklin is an upgrade over Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright at TE2, and Jefferson made clear there is room to improve that spot. The Lions have enough safety depth to function early in camp, but they do not currently have three NFL tight ends available for any three-tight end looks. Conklin's prior productive stretch with the New York Jets underscores why Detroit signed him. Getting him cleared stabilizes the rotation and keeps the TE2 plan on track, even if three-tight end sets are not the base offense. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #puplist #lionstrainingcamp #brianbranch #kerbyjoseph #tylerconklin #brockwright #chuckclark #christianizien #thomasharper #dancampbell #detroitlionstrainingcamp #physicallyunabletoperformlist #safetyposition #tightenddepth #newyorkjets #drewpetzing #nflpreseason Learn more about your ad choices.

July 24, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 167 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I start by discussing the latest serious injury that the Carolina Panthers are dealing with as they have now lost EDGE Nic Scourton for the season at the start of training camp. We talk about how the Panthers might call the Pittsburgh Steelers about possibly acquiring OLB Alex Highsmith via a trade. Alex and I discuss the several reasons why the Steelers aren't likely to trade Highsmith this summer. We also discuss what the Steelers should look for in the way of compensation if they even consider trading Highsmith away. Which players on the Steelers' current 91-man roster have the greatest chance of starting training camp on either the PUP or NFI list next week? Alex and I attempt to answer that question the best we can. There are now three NFL draft picks that remain unsigned as of Friday morning and included in that list is Steelers QB Drew Allar. Alex and I discuss how we still expect Allar to sign his rookie contract by Wednesday. After thoroughly discussing the latest topical subjects and news concerning the Steelers, Alex and I talk in-depth about the final seven players in my annual 90-in-30 training camp preview series. The seven players we discuss are OLB T.J. Watt, OLB Julius Welschof, WR Levi Wentz, RET/WR Kaden Wetjen, ILB Payton Wilson, WR Roman Wilson, and LB Jacoby Windmon. We give the summer outlook for each player and the chances a few of them have at sticking in Pittsburgh once the preseason ends. Will Payton Wilson log more special teams snaps than WR Roman Wilson receptions in 2026? That's an interesting question that Alex posed later in this Friday show. This 89-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this podcast by answering a few listener questions we received via email. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

TONIGHT on the C3 Panthers Podcast, the C3 crew discuss-Taylor Moton starting the season on NFI list with blood clots -Could Monroe Freeling start the season at Right Tackle?-The Panthers re-signing Brady Christiansen-Should fans be worried about Jaycee Horn being on NFI list?-Ejiro Evero's opportunity to put the NFL on notice-Cam Newton being fired by ESPN

Training camp opened this week with tough news: veteran right tackle Taylor Moton was diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung in late June, is on blood thinners, and will start camp on the reserve/NFI list — expected to miss the start of the regular season.

This week on The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz and NFI's Justin Maze unpack a freight market that's holding steady on the surface, but showing signs of change underneath. With shippers rushing to front-load inventory ahead of looming tariff deadlines, import volumes climbing, and uncertainty surrounding the future of the USMCA, the conversation explores where those pressures could begin showing up across the domestic freight market in the weeks ahead. They also break down this week's jump in diesel prices, why tender rejections continue to hover around 16%, what flat national rates really signal, and how seasonality is shaping conditions across every major U.S. region. Plus, what brokers should be watching on the West Coast as imports rise, why the Southeast continues to loosen, and how California's soaring fuel costs could ripple through capacity and the spot market. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Greg Fischer did not plan to spend ten years in recruitment. He joined a solo healthcare practice in LA as employee number one, figured it would pay the bills, and planned to open a gym someday. He never left.Instead he built one of the most profitable staffing businesses in the US. $4.2 million in NFI, $1.4 million net profit. 38 people and a seven-figure equity stake with a $50 million exit on the horizon.But he walked away with nothing!The push toward the exit had quietly changed how the business ran. “I think we started looking at people as much more like resources and just a means to an end than actually people.” Greg had spent a decade building his career on the opposite belief. But the drift was so gradual he hadn't noticed it.“I couldn't be the person I wanted to be and be in a good, healthy working dynamic. It was going to be one or the other.”On this episode of The RAG Podcast, Greg Fischer, founder of Well Oiled Machine, tells the full story. The gym that cost him $150,000. The 10 years building someone else's company. The walk away. And how he built a lean, profitable rec-to-rec from a mountain town in Colorado with no cold outbound and twenty clients in year one.Greg Fischer is not chasing the big exit this time. He is building something small, profitable, and built entirely around the person he decided he wanted to be.If you have ever wondered what it actually costs to chase a number, and whether the person collecting it is still someone you recognise, this episode has the blueprint.----------Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time.

NFI's 3PL Growth, Real Estate Strategy, and Tech Adoption with Michael Landsburg (IAMC Little Rock) Live from the IAMC conference in Little Rock, the Industrial Advisors podcast interviews Michael Landsburg of NFI about the company's scale and strategy in the 3PL world. Landsburg explains NFI is a 94-year-old, privately held, family-owned supply chain company operating primarily in the US and Canada, with about 80 million square feet in its portfolio (about 17 million owned), roughly 18,000 employees, 5,000 trucks, and 14,000 trailers, serving shipments from Asian ports to home delivery. He discusses how NFI decides between customer-held leases, NFI-held leases, and owning facilities for control, speed, flexibility, and family investment diversification. This includes a shift after the global financial crisis toward leasing more space to third parties. He touches on submarket-by-submarket leasing conditions, NFI's strong performance versus the industry since 2022, a reduced risk posture in matching leases to contracts, ongoing data centralization to enable AI, warehouse automation with fully autonomous robots, and uncertainty over whether Asian-based 3PL growth represents net-new demand or market-share shift. 0:00 Intro and NFI overview 2:10 The history of the 94-year-old family business 4:15 Strategy behind owning vs leasing assets 6:30 Diversifying the portfolio after 2008 8:45 Current industrial market trends and softness 11:00 Leveraging data and AI in logistics 13:15 Autonomous robots in the warehouse 14:50 The impact of Asian 3PL growth 16:00 Closing thoughts and wrap up

Mark Graban and Jamie Flinchbaugh sit down with single-origin coffees and a 1987 GM Confidential report Mark pulled from the Don Ephlin papers at Wayne State's Reuther Library. The document, "NUMMI Management Practices: Executive Summary," lays out five management strategies behind the joint venture's success and the line that ties them together: "The key to NUMMI's success is not its tools or techniques, but the management philosophy that gives meaning to them." So why couldn't GM replicate it? Episode page with links and more Before NUMMI, the conversation runs through: Jamie's report from a Lehigh symposium on AI in supply chain (Penske, NFI, Crayola, Sharp Services) and judging Lehigh's entrepreneurial pitch competition Mark's two-week run at the LEI Lean Summit in Houston and Shingo Connect in San Diego, plus a regional FIRST robotics competition AI in continuous improvement, including Mark's Socratic Lean coach (free 48-hour trial) Single-origin coffee: Jamie's Peru from Huabal / San Pablo, Mark's Burundi Cankuzo Province bourbon-variety bean from Elliott Coffee in Dayton, KY (sourced via JNP Coffee), and the power dynamics the fair-trade label doesn't fix A Lean Whiskey detour on the rumored Sazerac, Brown-Forman, and Pernod Ricard moves, the bullwhip effect rippling back to a shuttered Kentucky barrel mill, and the cautionary tale of Stroh's (now back, brewed at Brew Detroit) The main segment works through the NUMMI report's five management strategies, why GM tried to redistribute the original "NUMMI commandos" one at a time, why Toyota deliberately avoided hiring auto-industry people for Georgetown, what NUMMI didn't solve (product design, activist investors, the UAW's missed opening), and where Bob Lutz's Car Guys vs. Bean Counters fits in.

A Calm Before the Storm: Cooling Markets, Falling Diesel, and What to Watch Before DOT Week It's the week of April 29, and the freight market is doing something rare… exhaling. On this episode of The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz and NFI's Justin Maze break down a quieter week across freight, where easing diesel prices and softening markets are giving brokers and carriers a brief window to reset before the surge of DOT Blitz Week. But don't get too comfortable. Beneath the surface, the signals are already shifting. Here's what we cover: Diesel prices are finally easing — down week-over-week nationally, with noticeable relief on the West Coast, pulling down all-in rates across regions Tender rejections remain elevated at ~13%, holding steady as the market prepares for its next move Linehaul rates are flat at ~$1.96/mile for loads over 200 miles, signaling stability… for now Flatbed continues to dominate, with rejection rates hovering near 50% and rates still climbing Regional cooling is widespread across the Southeast, South, Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast, driven largely by fuel declines and seasonality The Midwest and Northeast are in a seasonal slide, while the Southeast quietly sets up to become the most volatile region heading into May Spot opportunities are dipping — but expect a sharp rebound as capacity tightens and rejection rates climb into DOT Week Maze walks through why this “slow week” is actually a critical setup moment, and what brokers, shippers, and carriers should be doing right now to prepare for the volatility ahead. Because come next week, the market won't be quiet anymore.

Het gebruik van AI heeft opsporingswerk fundamenteel veranderd. Niet door rechercheurs te vervangen, maar door hun rol langzaam te veranderen naar de regisseurs van digitaal onderzoek. Door een wirwar aan digitale informatie moeten rechercheurs zelfstandig hun eigen weg vinden. Daarom waagt Het Nederlands Forensisch Instituut (NFI) zich aan een van de grootste uitdagingen van deze tijd: Hoe vind je wat je zoekt in de groeiende berg aan data? Het vraagt om een fundamenteel andere manier van zoeken, en die verandering is al in volle gang. Waar klassiek digitaal onderzoek draaide om het invoeren van de juiste zoektermen, maken nieuwe technieken het mogelijk om te zoeken op betekenis. Huidige taalmodellen (LLM’s) begrijpen de context steeds beter, herkennen verbanden en kunnen informatie samenvatten of vertalen. Hoewel het gebruik van LLM's de boel kan versnellen, wordt het ook complexer. Want hoe meer je kan vinden, hoe belangrijker het wordt om kritisch te blijven. Het platform Hansken wordt inmiddels door meerdere opsporingsdiensten gebruikt. Het systeem van het NFI maakt het mogelijk om enorme hoeveelheden digitale data tegelijk te doorzoeken. En dat komt goed uit, zeker als je per zaak soms tientallen in beslag genomen apparaten moet uitlezen. Toch blijft de mens altijd in de loop. Je krijgt hints van AI, maar het brein dat blijf jij. Critici maken zich zorgen om de juridische kant van het verhaal en de gebrekkige bescherming die de AI-Act nu biedt. Wat maakt hun zorgen terecht en waar zitten de grootste uitdagingen nog? Is er wel genoeg besef dat slimmer zoeken ook meer risico’s met zich meebrengt?

This week on The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz and NFI market expert Justin Maze unpack a freight market that is anything but sleepy. They dig into the CBS Sunday report on chameleon carriers and what the launch of FMCSA's new MODIS registration system could mean for carrier vetting, fraud prevention, and the broader push for accountability across the industry. They also touch on the ongoing Strait of Hormuz disruption, why rerouted global cargo matters for domestic freight, and the small but welcome drop in fuel prices. From there, Jenni and Maze break down where the market stands today: national linehaul rates holding at $1.96 per mile, outbound rejections sitting above 14%, and flatbed rejection rates surging to nearly 50%, a flashing signal that volatility is already building. They close with a must-hear preview of DOT Week, explaining why this year's blitz could hit much harder than it has in the past two years, how brokers should prepare now, and why the coming weeks may trigger a meaningful reset in spot and contract pricing across the market. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Q2 is off to a turbulent start, and this week on The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz is joined by NFI market expert Justin Maze to break down a freight market that feels anything but settled. From FMCSA's rollout of the new MODIS registration system and pilot testing around hours-of-service flexibility, to port disruptions in Savannah and New York, they start with the headlines shaping the week before digging into the pressure point everyone is watching: fuel. With diesel climbing fast, especially in California, Jenni and Justin unpack what rising fuel costs, stubborn linehaul rates, and elevated tender rejections mean for brokers, carriers, and shippers right now. They also take listeners through the regional storylines defining the market, from tightening in the Southeast, South, and Texas to signs of relative softening in parts of the Midwest and Northeast. The episode closes with a look at the spot market, where rates continue to rise and flatbed rejections remain especially sharp, creating even more uncertainty for teams trying to quote and cover freight in real time. If you are trying to make sense of contract pressure, shifting capacity, and what could come next in April, this is the update to have in your ears. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

As March comes to a close, the freight market is serving up volatility from every direction. In this week's episode of The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz and NFI market expert Justin Maze unpack the diesel surge shaking the industry, with fuel jumping from $3.89 to $5.37 a gallon in just a few weeks, and what that means for shippers already bracing for higher costs. They dig into why linehaul rates dipped, then started creeping back up again, how tender rejections are hovering around 14.5%, and why flatbed is in a league of its own with rejection rates reaching as high as 50%. Jenni and Justin also break down the regional picture, from tightening in the Southeast and Texas to mixed signals in the Midwest, loosening in the Pacific Northwest, and a surprising shift in Southern California. Plus, they look ahead to April and explain why produce season, fuel pressure, spot market exposure, and even a rise in new carrier authority applications could make the next few weeks especially unpredictable. For shippers and brokers trying to protect margins without losing flexibility, this is the market read you need right now. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Fuel is surging, fraud is forcing new action in Washington, and the freight market is sending mixed signals. This week on The Transfix Take, Jenni Ruiz is joined by NFI's Justin Maze to break down the biggest developments shaping freight right now, from the newly introduced Safer Transport Act and work authorization mandates to diesel's sharp climb and what it means for brokers, carriers, and spot market pricing. They also dig into tender rejections hitting 15%, why small fleets may be getting squeezed, and how produce season is tightening capacity in the Southeast while the Midwest, Northeast, and West Coast tell very different stories. If you're trying to make sense of a market that feels increasingly capacity-driven, not demand-driven, this episode lays out what to watch next. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Contracts Tolled: What It Means for 2026 The Detroit Lions tolled the contracts of Levi Onwuzurike and Josh Paschal after both spent the entire 2025 season on the NFI list. The practical outcome is simple. What was slated for 2025 now applies to 2026. Neither player hits free agency. Both remain Detroit Lions into the new league year. Onwuzurike's 2025 deal carries forward. Paschal moves into the final year of his rookie contract. The distinction matters inside the NFL calendar and for how the Lions plan the defensive line room into training camp. Cap Mechanics and Roster Stakes Onwuzurike has a one year, $4,000,000 deal with $3,500,000 guaranteed. The contract included a $2,000,000 signing bonus, which is typically paid at signing, so the cash outlay this year is lighter. He had a likely to be earned playing time incentive of $250,000. He did not reach it. That amount credits back to the Detroit Lions cap, a small but welcome bump. Paschal sits in the final season of his rookie deal. One key difference with the NFI list compared to IR is that teams are not obligated to pay base salaries on NFI. Beyond signing bonuses, it is unknown what either player received while sidelined. Expectations must be measured. Neither should be penciled in for significant snaps. Both must prove they can make the team. Prior second round draft status should not influence the competition. If healthy, their presence adds depth and pushes the group in camp. The medical histories frame the caution. Onwuzurike played well in 2024 before his knee gave out. He later needed knee surgery. A torn ACL was discovered after he signed, and it was not related to his longstanding back issues. He is playing after a spinal fusion surgery, which remains remarkable. Paschal had back surgery last offseason. His prior issues included melanoma that metastasized in his foot, knee problems, and a hamstring issue. He missed last season for a back problem. Availability will decide their paths. Pro Bowl Note: Goff Finds St. Brown The Pro Bowl shifted to flag football and still offered a Detroit moment. A switch of the channel landed on Jared Goff delivering a pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown. It is not tackle football. Accept that and the pace can be enjoyable. The connection was a quick reminder of timing and touch, even in an all star setting. The Detroit Lions Podcast goes live tonight at 8 PM with Chris to dig deeper into the cap ripple and the defensive line outlook. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #levionwuzurike #joshpaschal #non-footballinjurylist #contractstolled #teamcontrolinto2026 #playingtimeincentive #$2millionsigningbonus #likely-to-be-earnedincentive #rookiecontractfinalyear #tornacl Learn more about your ad choices.

The freight recession may finally be over as January transportation metrics reveal a market in firm expansion territory. With the overall index hitting 59.6, a convergence of tightening capacity and rising rates suggests the cycle has officially turned. Regulatory pressures are squeezing the driver pool just as Werner Enterprises settles an 11-year-old lawsuit regarding driver wages. This $18 million payout underscores the rising floor for labor costs in an increasingly constrained environment. On the demand side, a surge in Japanese machine tool orders points to a manufacturing rebound later this year. North American orders jumped nearly 30%, signaling that industrial production is gearing up for a strong second half of 2026. Macroeconomic policy could also provide a tailwind if Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh shifts focus back to Main Street. His criticism of current monetary strategy suggests relief may be on the way for the industrial and small business sectors. Meanwhile, rail infrastructure is booming with Norfolk Southern customers advancing over $7.7 billion in new projects. Adding to the positive momentum, legal distractions are clearing up for major players following the dismissal of charges against NFI's CEO.

The final Transfix Take of the year arrives at the peak of chaos — and opportunity — in the freight market. This week, Jenni Ruiz and NFI's market expert Justin Maze break down one of the most volatile December surges we've seen since the pandemic era. With spot rates spiking, winter weather wreaking havoc, and carriers finally regaining the upper hand, Maze walks listeners through what's driving the sudden escalation — and what it means as we head into 2026. Jenni and Maze take you region by region across the U.S. to unpack: • Why national spot rates are climbing faster than expected, with a potential 20¢ jump by New Year's • How winter storms and rollover freight are creating a ripple effect across long-haul and cross-country lanes • The Midwest's shocking 5%+ breakouts and what's behind the biggest surge of any region • Capacity tightening on the West Coast despite minimal weather disruptions • The looming non-domicile CDL rulings that could reshape Q1 and Q2 capacity • Whether this is officially the start of the carrier “revenge market” Maze also shares his early forecast for 2026 — including how January sets the tone, why a 5–8% annual rate increase is firmly on the table, and what brokers must do now to keep carriers aligned heading into the new year. It's our last episode of the year — and one of the most insight-packed. If you're a freight broker, shipper, or anyone navigating transportation volatility, this is the year-end debrief you don't want to miss. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

"Service isn't a necessary evil—it's your most valuable relationship builder." This week, Tim welcomes Bart Ogden, owner of Home Safe Hearth & Chimney in Wichita, Kansas, to discuss how service work can be the foundation of a thriving hearth business. Starting as a chimney sweep in 1979 in a town of 600 people, Bart built his company on a simple principle: if someone calls needing help, we're going to help them—regardless of brand, age, or who installed it. In this episode, Tim and Bart discuss: Why servicing everything—not just what you sell—builds long-term customer relationships that outlast and outperform the initial sale. The lifetime value of a service customer: How annual or bi-annual maintenance over decades generates more revenue than the original installation, and creates trust when replacement is finally needed. Profitability through knowing your numbers: Why specialty service businesses need 60% margins to thrive, and how to build a supply chain that supports servicing all brands. Building a systematic training program: How Bart created a 100-day curriculum using certification paths (CSIA, NFI) that trains every technician to the same standard, regardless of their background. The power of great inspections: Why every successful service job starts with ensuring customers know the exact condition of their system, then letting them choose what happens next. Don't miss this episode that reframes service from an afterthought into the strategic foundation of a sustainable hearth business. ------ Become a supporter of The Fire Time Network and get access to awesome rewards: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://itsfiretime.com/join⁠⁠⁠⁠ To hear more audio articles from our magazine, subscribe to the Fire Time Magazine Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine⁠⁠⁠⁠ To get a copy of the 2025 Fire Time Journal: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.itsfiretime.com/journal⁠⁠⁠⁠ Read The Fire Time Magazine Reader Edition online: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://magazine.itsfiretime.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

Tanya Geisler is a Leadership Coach based in Canada who specialises in the Imposter Complex.You may not have heard of it before but I can assure you that you've felt the sting of it. It is found in the stories - or lies - we tell ourselves about not being ready, good enough, that we don't belong or that we are fooling everyone and that any moment everyone is going to find out we have NFI what we're doing. We dive deep in this personal and revealing interview.

JD Vance has been in the Cotswolds this week on his Britain fantasy tour. This has been billed as a ‘holiday' but he did take the time out of his busy schedule to meet with some of Britain's right-wing politicians. Robert Jenrick, Chris Philp and Nigel Farage were all granted an audience with the vice-president, and even Danny Kruger and pillow salesman/Apprentice star Thomas Skinner got the call-up. The notable exclusion is, of course, Kemi Badenoch, who despite claiming to be firm friends with Vance was NFI'd. CCHQ claim this is due to scheduling, but clearly it's an embarrassing snub. So who is MAGA's favourite UK politician? And do the American right even care about what's going on in Britain?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Freddy Gray.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Wat een vakantie vol zon, zee en lol voor jongeren op het Spaanse eiland Mallorca had moeten zijn, eindigt in een nachtmerrie. In de nacht van 13 op 14 juli 2021 zijn er meerdere vechtpartijen in de stad El Arenal. Door een van die vechtpartijen komt de 27-jarige Carlo Heuvelman uit Waddinxveen om het leven. Al snel wordt een vriendengroep uit Hilversum als verdachte aangemerkt. Bij de rechtbank staan acht jongens terecht voor geweld dat ze die nacht hebben gepleegd, zowel tegen Carlo als tegen anderen. Tijdens de rechtszaak ontstaat grote maatschappelijke verontwaardiging, omdat geen van de verdachten openheid van zaken lijkt te willen geven. Tijdens Napleiten Live in TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, blikt advocaat Anis Boumanjal terug op deze zaak, waarin hij hoofdverdachte Sanil B. in hoger beroep bijstond. En DNA-deskundige Lex Meulenbroek van het NFI is aanwezig om het belang van DNA in strafzaken te duiden. Het vonnis: https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/details?id=ECLI:NL:RBMNE:2022:4615 Het arrest: https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/details?id=ECLI:NL:GHARL:2024:1866 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
