Should he have brought in a KC to clean house, or is he right to treat it as "case closed"? We break down the constitutional battle brewing as Westminster's Scottish Affairs Committee threatens to step in.Plus, we expose a glaring economic contradiction at the heart of the Scottish Government: debating wealth taxes one week and demanding economic growth the next.

Good news on the whiskey front for today. Couple of topics and friendly banter is what were all about.

Driven by increased production capacity and a cooling of the post-pandemic "bourbon craze," popular labels are becoming much easier to find without relying on raffles, lotteries, or secondary markets.While true "unicorn" status bottles (like Pappy Van Winkle or George T. Stagg) remain incredibly rare, the wider market is shifting.

Increasingly, it looks like the scandal that has rocked the SNP will not go away. Peter Murrell's admission and subsequent conviction have led to more questions. Bernard Ponsonby and Alex Massie discuss.PONSONBY - John Swinney may need an independent inquiry into SNP governance, because a party-led response risks looking like a whitewash.MASSIE - Nicola Sturgeon's core problem is not only “what did she know?” but “what should she have known?” as SNP leader signing off party accounts.PONSONBY - Many mainstream journalists were “asleep at the wheel” while Sean Clerkin and Stuart Campbell kept pressing questions others dismissed.MASSIE - the SNP may face an impossible choice: stand by Sturgeon or “throw her under the campervan” to draw a line under the scandal.PONSONBY - the SNP finance scandal is sensational but may not have a lasting electoral impact — unless the party mishandles the demand for answers.Focussing on UK, Scottish and Global politics, if you like other great political podcasts like The Rest is Politics, The News Agents, Newscast, Questions Time, Holyrood Sources, Planet Holyrood, The Stooshie, The Steamie, Scotcast, Americast etc etc then The Ponsonby and Massie Podcast could be a great show to add to your list of favourites.

Podcast 320 – Coach Tez and the Rise of Dunwoody Girls Flag Football – Montez Swinney Dunwoody girls flag football has taken off in a big way, and Coach Tez is right at the center of it. Montez Swinney has helped turn Dunwoody girls flag football into one of the most talked about programs on campus, all rooted in one clear belief: FAMILY. He launched the team during COVID with just 22 girls and a vision. Now more than 100 athletes try out each year. The program includes multiple levels, a growing feeder system, and a region championship banner to prove the work is paying off. Coach Tez was even named Coach of the Year, but ask him and he will point back to discipline, preparation, and accountability. His teams study film. They correct mistakes. They show up for each other. He also leads the girls lacrosse team at Dunwoody High, and many of the same athletes switch jerseys each season, carrying that same standard from fall flag football to spring lacrosse. And that connection shows. The girls compete hard for each other, but they also compete hard for a coach who loves them like FAMILY.

Regardless of the time of year, the drama in college football never takes a break. One of the on-going stories that Andy Staples and Ross Dellenger has been following has finally come to a resolution. Darian Mensah and Duke have come to a settlement that allows Mensah to officially be in the portal and transfer to what is presumed to be Miami. Andy and Ross discuss how the sides finally came to a resolution and if the athletes, much like the coaches, should already have preexisting buyouts in their contracts. They also chat about some of the other notable court cases in college athletics as they share updates on Trinidad Chambliss and Charles Bediako's cases.Then, they dive into the big news from over the weekend. During a press conference last Friday, Dabo Swinney called out Pete Golding for tampering. This all started when former Cal linebacker, Luke Ferelli, signed with Clemson and had enrolled in classes. Just before the portal closed, however, he decided to re-enter the portal to sign with Ole Miss after Golding had directly reached out to Ferelli with lucrative NIL offers. The guys discuss if they think anything will happen from Swinney reporting this to the NCAA, and what Swinney's end goal may actually have been. Might a collective bargaining agreement with the players be just around the corner as administrators try to figure out how to police the wild world of college sports?Later, Ross discusses a story he reported this morning. That story is about a potential rule change to targeting for next season. He explains that the way targeting is enforced is being reviewed and may be changed within the next couple of months. The guys discuss their thoughts on the potential shift and if what the best way would be to enforce it.Get caught up on all of your college football news with College Football Enquirer. 0:00:00 - Darian Mensah settles with Duke16:47 - Trinidad Chambliss update19:11 - Charles Bediako update26:44 - Dabo Swinney calls out Pete Golding44:41 - New targeting rules may be coming soon Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Dabo Swinney named names. The Clemson coach is blowing the whistle with allegations of tampering by an SEC school. Swinney says he's decided to sic the feeble NCAA on Mississippi coach Pete Golding, after Swinney accused the Rebels coach of tampering to plunder a player off Clemson's roster. Oh, boy. On the one hand, kudos to Swinney for actually naming names. Many coaches bellyache of tampering, but few come with any evidence or firm accusations. Swinney broke the mold. On the other hand, big whoop. Someone might need to inform Swinney that he'd have better luck getting justice from the Keystone Cops than NCAA enforcement. While it's hard to fault Swinney for being frustrated, especially if it all went down like he claims, he better not get his hopes up. In case Swinney hadn't noticed, the NCAA hasn't effectively enforced its rules for many years now. On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams react to Swinney blowing the whistle on Ole Miss and what they expect to come of it. (Hint: Not much.) Before they get to Swinney, the hosts weigh in on USA TODAY's "too early" top 25 rankings for the 2026 season. They highlight some SEC teams that are overrated and a couple that might be underrated. Adams gets sucked into the hype machine for one SEC team, in particular. Toppmeyer is tempted to buy stock in an unranked SEC team with a new coach that's making noise in the transfer portal.

All right college sports fans, this episode breaks down Dabo Swinney's full explanation of the tampering case that caused Clemson to recently lose transfer-portal signee Luke Ferrelli to Ole Miss. It also shows why it should reach far beyond Death Valley and The Grove, even beyond college football fields across the nation. The details (and the calmness) that Swinney and athletic director Graham Neff showed is a big part of our reaction to the Clemson football press conference, because it shows that Tigers leadership is serious about making this instance a cornerstone for NCAA enforcement to act upon in cases anywhere. It also figures to affect college basketball, baseball and softball, gymnastics, volleyball, any sport where big NIL payments to top athletes drive player movement between programs. For Clemson fans, the case clearly affects how the NCAA transfer portal rules apply here, especially given Swinney's long hesitance to use the portal to sign significant players. We talk about what Swinney revealed about the player involved as well as opposing coaches and staff in the Mississippi program, and we provide our own analysis of Dabo's comments and evidence with no reason to believe it's a lie based on the detailed case that is being made. #ClemsonFootball #DaboSwinney #TransferPortal #CollegeFootball We're glad you found us!

All right, college sports fans:

All right, college sports fans -- today we break down what Clemson's loss to Penn State means for Dabo Swinney's future, the Tigers' offseason roster changes, and the outlook for Dabo Swinney as 2026 arrives. Clemson's offensive struggles and injury‑depleted defense were major factors in the Pinstripe Bowl, showing a lack of depth in talent with the transfer portal about to open. The loss in the season finale of a deeply disappointing year raises unavoidable questions about the Tigers' identity and development, with answers needed quickly during a pivotal offseason in Clemson. In this episode, we'll take a close at major factors to consider during Swinney's evaluation of his coaching staff evaluation, including the decisions of whether or not to retain or replace offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and quarterback Christopher Vizzina – plus, what part of the program might need a true reset most of all.

Tron Foster, 23, had been suffering from cancer for many years and wasn't doing well in recent weeks. He wanted to do something he'd never done before: Attend a Clemson-South Carolina game and watch his beloved Tigers play. Russ Lloyd, an ardent Gamecock fan, heard about Tron's story and hosted Tron and his family at his tailgate in Columbia before the game. Tron also got to visit with Dabo Swinney two hours before the game when Swinney walked off the team bus. Swinney gave him a hug, told him he loved him and handed him a cross. Lloyd arranged for Tron to have sideline passes to the game, but Tron was having trouble breathing so his family had to take him back to the Upstate before the game began. After the game Swinney talked about Tron in his press conference. Back home, Tron watched a replay of Swinney's words and smiled wide. "Now I'm famous," he said. Tron passed away later that evening.  In this podcast we speak with Lloyd, and the Kyle family (Kristina, Wayne and son Caleb) to learn more about Tron's story. Tron was like a sixth son to Kristina and Wayne, and like a brother to Caleb. Tron was an avid, gifted fisherman who was beloved by everyone he met. The final day of his life was one of the best days of his life.

Clemson graduate Mark Packer returned to his alma mater last week to speak to the Fort Hill Clemson Club and to dot the "i" on the field before the Tigers' victory over Florida State. Packer has been enjoying retirement since stepping away from the ACC Network this past summer. He said working for ESPN the previous three years was highly frustrating in part because he didn't have total control over his show, and he'd get pushback whenever he stuck up for the ACC. He has plans to write a book about his professional life, and he'll include his experiences with ESPN. Packer also looks back on the iconic "Primetime with the Packman" radio show that was popular for more than a decade in North Carolina and South Carolina. He tells the remarkable story of how the 'QCB' became a fixture on the show. He also reminisces about James Brown and his entourage showing up unannounced at the Charlotte-based studios and spending a rollicking hour on the air with Packer and Co. Packer also recalls the wee hours of the Northern California night in January of 2019 when he interviewed Dabo Swinney on the field at Levi's Stadium when no one else was around. Packer thinks Swinney has to do some significant adapting to move past this disastrous season and put Clemson back on footing with the best in college football.

It is that time of year again! The time when attention shifts away from the AP Poll and moves over to the College Football Playoff rankings. Tuesday, the College Football Playoff committee released the initial rankings for 2025. Ohio State remained at the top followed by Indiana, Texas A&M and Alabama to round out the top four. One of the most notable rankings was that of two teams who played earlier in the year. Miami, who has been struggling as of recently, came in at 18. That fell well behind a team they beat in Notre Dame who is sitting at 10. Also, the Big 12 appears to be in position to get two teams into the playoff, while the ACC looks like it will be a one-team league. Andy Staples, Steven Godfrey and Ross Dellenger discuss all of the drama and voice their thoughts on all of the attention surrounding this first rendition of the rankings. Plus, the guys take a look at what the bracket would look like if the playoff started today!Later, the guys discuss the top team in the country. The Ohio State Buckeyes. Such a dominant season has not created much drama to talk about for this team, however Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at just how dominant they have been. Is this success due to a lackluster schedule, or is this team on a path to another national title? On the flip side, could the lack of competition hinder Ohio State in the long run as they go on to face far more difficult competition in the College Football Playoff? And, what about their hated rivals, the Michigan Wolverines? Is this the year Ohio State can snap the four-game losing streak, or will Michigan prevail once again?Then, the guys take a look at a team who had similar expectations as Ohio State in the preseason, but their season has gone far differently. The Clemson Tigers. Dabo Swinney's team has struggled tremendously this season and it appears that Swinney's method of coaching may not be holding up in the new era of college football. Is this the beginning of the end for Swinney at Clemson? Should Dabo move on from coaching or just move on from Clemson? Are there similarities between his situation and Nick Saban's before Saban retired?All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.(0:49) - Reactions to the initial CFP rankings for 2025(24:59) - Is Ohio State too dominant?(32:18) - Will Ohio State beat Michigan this season?(42:47) - Julian Sayin's Heisman campaign(48:47) - Is Dabo Swinney ready to move on from Clemson?  Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

Tim Bourret is a Clemson icon and will be inducted into the school's athletics Hall of Fame on Friday night. Bourret also was a member of Dabo Swinney's inner circle when Swinney was ascending from interim coach to permanent coach to Hall of Fame coach. Swinney said Bourret has always provided him valuable counsel. "He tells the truth to me. He's tough and firm when he needs to be." Bourret joins The Dubcast not just to reminisce about all the behind-the-scenes history with Swinney, but also to give his take on the current state of the football program with the Tigers at 3-5 entering Saturday night's game against Florida State.  

Swinney is having a down year at Clemson, and CBS Sports suggests that he or Lane Kiffin could be the top targets for LSU in the aftermath of the Brian Kelly firing Who would be the targets otherwise?
