There is a lot happening in Alabama sports right now, and this video hits the biggest storylines from both basketball and football. We start with the controversy at Auburn, where Bruce Pearl retired in September 2025 and Steven Pearl took over as head coach, a move that has sparked heavy criticism over nepotism. ESPN reported Bruce's retirement and Steven's succession last fall, and that debate has resurfaced this week with Paul Finebaum calling Bruce Pearl's public comments about helping his son get the job “pretty embarrassing.” From there, we turn to the SEC Tournament, where Alabama is sitting in a strong position in Nashville. The official bracket has Alabama on the double-bye line, while the tournament runs March 11–15 at Bridgestone Arena. That sets up a huge opportunity for the Crimson Tide to make a deep run while the rest of the league fights through the early rounds. Then it is over to Alabama football spring practice, where one of the biggest storylines is the quarterback competition between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack. On3 highlighted that battle as one of the top spring questions for the Tide, while also noting that wide receiver Ryan Williams is now going by Ryan Coleman-Williams. 247Sports also reflected the updated name and the quarterback storyline in its recent Alabama spring coverage. We also dig into the bigger concern around Alabama's offense: experience. With spring practice underway, there is real attention on the rebuilt offensive line and how quickly the new-look unit can come together around whichever quarterback wins the job. That is the kind of issue that can define Alabama's ceiling in 2026. Finally, we zoom out to the national college sports picture, where Nick Saban and Urban Meyer were both part of a recent high-profile White House roundtable focused on issues facing college athletics, including NIL and the broader structure of the sport. That makes this conversation bigger than just Alabama and Auburn, because the entire model of college sports is still shifting in real time.

Chuck Todd opens the episode with a blunt assessment: it's starting to feel like the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's presidency. From an open-ended war in Iran to a cratering stock market, Trump finds himself sinking deeper into what Chuck calls "presidential quicksand," with every show of strength only revealing more weakness. Chuck breaks down the staggering early costs of the Iran conflict — over 1,000 casualties and $6 billion spent in just one week — and asks the question no one in Washington seems willing to answer: does anyone actually have an exit strategy? On the economy, the latest jobs report is sending ominous signals. With slow growth, rising prices, and tariff uncertainty dominating the economic discourse, Chuck makes the case that the swing voters who put Trump back in the White House for his perceived economic expertise are the first ones who'll walk away when their wallets take the hit. Corporate America is also starting to find its backbone. From Anthropic refusing to strip safety guardrails to Netflix walking away from a bad deal, Chuck sees a telling pattern: companies are pushing back on a president who looks weak. Finally, Chuck takes an illuminating detour into his "Time Machine" segment, tracing how communication technology has permanently reshaped the American presidency, from Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call, to FDR's fireside chats, all the way to Trump’s constant social media use. Plus, Chuck answers listener questions touching subjects like the potential similarities between Pearl Harbor and Trump’s Iran strikes, NIL in college sports, what's really going on with Democrats’ reactions to politicians like John Fetterman straying from the party line, and James Talarico’s bid for Congress.

Chuck Todd opens the episode with a blunt assessment: it's starting to feel like the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's presidency. From an open-ended war in Iran to a cratering stock market, Trump finds himself sinking deeper into what Chuck calls "presidential quicksand," with every show of strength only revealing more weakness. Chuck breaks down the staggering early costs of the Iran conflict — over 1,000 casualties and $6 billion spent in just one week — and asks the question no one in Washington seems willing to answer: does anyone actually have an exit strategy? On the economy, the latest jobs report is sending ominous signals. With slow growth, rising prices, and tariff uncertainty dominating the economic discourse, Chuck makes the case that the swing voters who put Trump back in the White House for his perceived economic expertise are the first ones who'll walk away when their wallets take the hit. Corporate America is also starting to find its backbone. From Anthropic refusing to strip safety guardrails to Netflix walking away from a bad deal, Chuck sees a telling pattern: companies are pushing back on a president who looks weak. Legendary documentarian Ken Burns joins the Chuck Toddcast for a sweeping conversation about American history, the craft of telling it honestly, and why historical perspective has never mattered more than it does right now. Burns addresses head-on the criticism that his work is "woke," arguing that his documentaries have a perspective but it's not left versus right — he wants to call balls and strikes, and the truth shouldn't be something people fear. He offers a striking defense of nuance, noting that the Republican Party has been the most successful political party on earth and that his life's work has been about making films about both the U.S. and "us" — the complicated, contradictory people who built and continue to shape the country. Burns discusses his latest project on the American Revolution, which he insists he didn't intentionally time to the 250th anniversary, and reveals he's also working on a film about Reconstruction and potentially a documentary on the Cold War. He walks through his rigorous process for evaluating source material, the challenge of needing great actors to bring the founders to life, and how those founders were obsessively focused on virtue — creating something genuinely new in human history while writing a Constitution brilliant enough to endure centuries but unable to foresee Congress voluntarily abdicating its own power. The conversation takes a fascinating philosophical turn as they explore the recurring patterns of American history: the manufacture of fear as a tool for authoritarians, the repeated failure of using government to force social change, and the way religion has been wielded as a cudgel by governments despite the founders being explicitly against a national religion. Burns offers a revealing window into his methodology, explaining that you need 25 to 30 years of distance before you can responsibly cover a historical subject, and that Trump's presidency has effectively constipated the scholarship on the Obama era because the two will be forever intertwined in history. He notes that views on Vietnam's legacy shifted vastly over decades, and that the passage of time is essential for triangulating toward truth — take historians for their knowledge, not always their perspective. Finally, Chuck takes an illuminating detour into his "Time Machine" segment, tracing how communication technology has permanently reshaped the American presidency, from Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call, to FDR's fireside chats, all the way to Trump’s constant social media use. Plus, Chuck answers listener questions touching subjects like the potential similarities between Pearl Harbor and Trump’s Iran strikes, NIL in college sports, what's really going on with Democrats’ reactions to politicians like John Fetterman straying from the party line, and James Talarico’s bid for Congress.

We'll take a deep dive into the state of college sports — including agents, NIL, revenue sharing, and all the lawsuits the NCAA keeps getting hit with — with Matt Brown, the publisher of the Extra Points Newsletter.

The bracket is set. It's tournament time. The West Virginia men's basketball team enters the Big 12 Tournament as the No. 7 seed, earning a coveted first-round bye after closing the regular season with a win over UCF and getting a help from TCU's victory over Cincinnati. For a team projected to finish 11th in the preseason, the Mountaineers have positioned themselves for a meaningful week in Kansas City. Their tournament run begins Wednesday against the winner of Tuesday's matchup between Kansas State and BYU. In this episode, the “Guys” recap the regular-season finale against the Knights and examine what lies ahead in the conference tournament. They also preview the WVU women's appearance in the Big 12 Championship game against TCU. As always, Hoppy delivers his Obvious Observations, and Brad dives into the numbers with Spreads on Stats to set the statistical stage for the Mountaineers' postseason path.

Frank and Eddie's pickleball and padel journeys continue, but Eddie has been on the receiving end of some road rage. Tez Johnson's ex-fiancée revealed why their relationship came to an end, but college football players in Mississippi will be delighted to hear that NIL money will no longer be taxed. Eddie is suspicious that some other media networks are stealing ideas from the Big Chill Podcast after Fox Sports revealed an AI version of Colin Cowherd.  Manchester City's latest slip-up has handed advantage back to Arsenal, and Eddie isn't happy with how the potential Premier League Champions are playing, especially after they were handed an easy Champions League draw.

This year's team is not one of those teams. And while this episode could have been recorded after any one of many, many, many such disappointing outings by the Hoosiers over the last 30 years, this one happened yesterday against the Buckeyes in what now seems to be an annual "Battle of The Bubble Teams."But hey... we're still the undefeated Big Ten and National Champions in football!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Penn State football's recruiting strategy is shifting under Matt Campbell, as the Nittany Lions eye a new wave of top-tier talent for the class of 2027.

Welcome to a new episode of Forklift Systems Football Saturday. This episode covers the latest developments in college sports, including recent meetings in Washington and Dallas, the future of college football, NIL issues, and the legacy of Lou Holtz. Experts Tony Barnhart, Charles Davis and Dennis Dodd provide in-depth reporting and analysis. This episode features in-depth discussions on college football changes, coaching strategies, and recent developments in the sport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

College football is facing an unprecedented transformation, and Coach talks to Tony Barnhart and Dennis Dodd to break down the high-stakes negotiations in Washington and Dallas. From President Trump’s push for an executive order to radical private equity ventures like Project Rudy, the episode explores the mechanisms driving a major upheaval in how the sport is valued and governed. You’ll get an inside look at the true cost of competition—where SEC rosters now command over $40 million—and how innovative media rights pooling could finally allow programs like Indiana and Vanderbilt to compete on equal footing with "blue blood" giants like Alabama and Ohio State. The discussion dives deep into the behind-the-scenes power plays involving NCAA officials, Congress, and icons like Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. As the sport’s popularity surges to trail only the NFL, off-field chaos involving NIL collectives, antitrust litigation, and conference realignment threatens its very foundation. Whether it’s the battle over the future of Olympic sports or the legislative fight for collective bargaining, this episode reveals the high-stakes gamble to keep the game vibrant and accessible. If you want to understand the seismic shifts coming to college sports before the game changes forever, this is your front-row seat to the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank, the guys kick things off with the “Barry Bonds episode,” debating one of the most controversial questions in baseball history: Should Barry Bonds be in the Hall of Fame despite the steroid era? Dan and Frank break down Bonds' legendary talent, his transformation later in his career, and whether his dominance—especially when pitchers were terrified to throw him strikes, still deserves Cooperstown recognition.With the sports calendar in a bit of a lull, the conversation shifts across several leagues and headlines. The crew looks at the NHL trade deadline, why it produced more buzz than actual movement, and then jumps into a surprising NASCAR storyline, including a historic three-race winning streak by one driver from Michael Jordan's team, something never accomplished even by legends like Earnhardt or Petty.The discussion then turns toward the WNBA and the economics of sports, as the hosts debate player salaries, league profitability, and the realities of revenue generation in professional athletics. From ticket sales to merchandise to television ratings, the guys explore the complicated relationship between popularity, viewership, and player compensation.College basketball also gets some attention as March Madness approaches, with Duke and North Carolina preparing for another rivalry clash and bracket season right around the corner. The hosts discuss their early tournament thoughts and plans for their annual bracket challenge.From there, the show dives into the NFL offseason, including reactions to the combine and early predictions for how a chaotic Top 10 in the upcoming draft might unfold. The guys also examine the ever-changing landscape of NIL in college sports, debating whether paying young athletes has permanently altered college athletics, and whether anyone, including the government, could realistically fix the system.Along the way, the crew touches on the World Baseball Classic, Shohei Ohtani's continued dominance, the risks of pitchers going all-out during spring training, and even a bizarre story involving a baseball broadcaster, a chainsaw accident, and a stubborn refusal to go to the hospital.Of course, it wouldn't be Sports Fellowship without some classic back-and-forth debates, especially when it comes to the NBA playoff race, where bold predictions and friendly trash talk fly about which teams actually have a shot at the Finals.It's another lively episode filled with sports analysis, humor, storytelling, and the occasional rabbit trail that only Fox and Frank can deliver.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist Church of Phillipsburg NJ - http://www.fbcpburg.org/

They discuss whether a recent hit on Nikola Jokic was a cheap shot, with Horry contrasting it to his own Steve Nash incident, calling his action petty and frustration-driven, and noting Jokic’s fall looked like a flop.   They debate late-season MVP finalists and the impact of the 65-game threshold, with Harper favoring Cade Cunningham and Horry backing Jaylen Brown for two-way play and team results, plus a sidebar on the Spurs’ young guards and unselfish team styles.   They reject a Mississippi proposal to exempt NIL earnings from state income tax, discuss potential travel-related NIL taxation, share favorite trash talkers (including a notorious Washington fan, Kevin Garnett, and Gary Payton), react to the Cardinals’ $29 all-you-can-eat ticket deal, and end with a joke prompt about the worst possible casting for the next James Bond.   00:00 Friday Show Intro 00:35 Dentist Trip Debate 01:51 Cheap Shot Talk 03:28 Nash Table Story 04:18 MVP Race Picks 06:51 Celtics Spurs Receipts 08:23 NIL Tax Exemption 11:03 Best Trash Talkers 13:59 All You Can Eat Tickets 16:21 Worst James Bond Casting

In today's episode, I'm joined at Pebble Beach by Marshall Faulk and Virgil Herring for a conversation about mindset, competition, and inner alignment. Marshall shares how a Hall of Fame mentality carries from football to golf to business, why every shot and every opportunity demands preparation, and how giving yourself permission to be great silences self-doubt. We talk about controlling the moment instead of letting it control you, coaching athletes at their level rather than your own, and creating true competition in the NIL era. This is about process over results, earning your place, and living in alignment with your standards.
