Detroit Sports Podcast -- The Michigan PodcastThis episode -- Bryce Underwood stole the show in his Michigan debut, and Steve is ALL IN on this week's Michigan Podcast!  The true freshman lit up New Mexico with poise, precision, and 250+ passing yards—prompting Steve to wonder if he could indeed be the next generational talent, and say Saturday's road test will reveal if Underwood is “HIM.” The Voice of College Football, Mark Rogers, breaks down Underwood's sensational performance, Michigan's balanced attack, and what to expect against Oklahoma's defense. Plus, the dup recaps Ohio State's upset over #1 Texas.

Sheryl Underwood lit up the Houston airwaves with Madd Hatta on Majic 102.1, keeping it real about life after *The Talk* and her new “I Need a Job Tour.” The comedian, known for her unfiltered wit, admitted she's back to grinding—auditioning, developing projects, and hitting the stage with purpose. More than stand-up, her tour doubles as a movement, with each show supporting local charities, including five in Houston. Mixing sharp humor with straight talk on politics, community, and culture, Underwood reminded fans she's still the same fiery “Def Jam Cheryl,” only now she's hustling harder, giving back, and turning comedy into a cause.

Hour 2 of The Plank Show with Chris Plank and Blake Gamble starts with talk about the two biggest names in tomorrow's game - the quarterbacks: John Mateer and Bryce Underwood.  Later on, the textline answers the day's Blake's Take challenge to predict Sunday's headlines.

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz break down the Michigan football team's 34-17 win over New Mexico to open its 2025 season. They open with a look at the Wolverines' offense. They break down what they saw from Bryce Underwood in his collegiate debut, what it could mean for the rest of the season, as well as the significance of some key returning pass-catchers and offensive linemen stepping up. They also discuss Justice Haynes' star-caliber Michigan debut at running back, and why that could arguably be a bigger deal than Underwood's debut. In the second half of the episode, they look at some key takeaways from the defensive side of the ball. They discuss why the box score might not be as pretty as expected, but why that may not matter much moving forward. They look at New Mexico's success on screen plays and in play-action, but also Michigan's palpable speed and depth on defense. They also discuss the Wolverines' special teams blunders, Jaishawn Barham's suspension, penalties and other observations from the season-opening win.

Featured Musician: Magic Toaster THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things to be said.]  --------------------- 1. New Mexico Preview: Offense starts at the top They've got a very 2022 Colorado State vibe after importing a Big Sky team. We like their Big Sky RBs better than MSU's. Mikey Keene-ish QB wasn't the reason they gave Oregon trouble. 2. Preview in Review: Defense starts at 11:24 The wily open defensive end is. The rest of lines and their secondary are terrible, save a Bruce Feldman Freak who had six kick return touchdowns in the FCS. 3. Preview in Review: Defense starts at 22:58 We're so into Metcalfs. Shark Teeth mode now with players behind players. Only thing is they don't have so many superstars—just good guys all around. Can Jyaire Hill step forward into one? Benny? Derrick Moore is the one EXTRA guy that we can't lose. 4. Preview in Review: Offense starts at 35:50 Surviving Evan Link.

Quarterback Starts at 0:54 Quick rundown of all the options: it's Bryce. Expectations for Bryce: Vince Young as a RS freshman, who doesn't quite know what to do with the ball and gets jumpy when the pressure's on, but you can see the talent. One thing in his favor: he isn't jumpy at all in the pocket, and the overthrows in the Spring Game were out of character. Michigan has to roll with it, but Big Ten average with huge swings. Will he be more like a sophomore by Ohio State perhaps? [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Skill Positions Starts at 35:36 Running back has two really good players and then a drop to ???. On the very goods, we love Jordan Marshall and might be underrating Justice Haynes—he's got a lot of Corum in him. He's also got a lot of experience as a lead blocker for a running QB, but that's probably not what he came here for. WRs are Donaven McCulley and then a big drop to Just-Guys who probably were better than they looked last year. Think Semaj Morgan should be the #2 since he gives you something—F.Moore, Bell, O'Leary just guys, hearing things about the freshmen doesn't give Brian happy feels. Tight end is the strength of the offense. The spectrum goes fullback: Max Bredeson, h-back: Jalen Hoffman, inline: Marlin Klein, flex: Hogan Hansen. Bredeson kickouts force defenders to overcommit, create bounce opportunities. Klein is an underrated blocker (watch the Reliaquest Bowl). Hansen was open last year, Davis Warren was allergic to throwing at him. Hoffman might be Underwood's secret binkie, can run WR routes and block like an OL. 3. Offensive Line Starts at 1:18:36 PLEASE do not activate our rule that if two guys are battling for a job and it's won by a third guy it's a very bad sign. Concerning that OL was an issue, and player evaluation was an issue, when the HC was the OL coach. It's not a hot take that Andrew Babalola is going to start at Ohio State, Brian. If Evan Link gets fixed and Gio El-Hadi truly feels more comfortable at LG that'd be great; the latter is more likely than the former, but they don't have better options so Link to start. Crippen is who he is; if his issues were mental then could see Juan Castillo having an effect, but Crippen is mentally there and just gets physically dominated. RG and RT are two really good stories for the future, as Efobi and Sprague (especially Sprague) are on track for excellent careers. Depth at G. 4. Hot Takes, Special Teams and Chip Starts at 1:46:36 Takes hotter than Sabrina Carpenter. Thank you to the Michigan fan who left Dominic Zvada out of the Groza semifinalists so he would come back to be the best kicker in Michigan history again. Punter…wasn't great last year but it's not like Hudson Hollenbeck was better in the one game we saw him, and attempts to get more guys in the portal is a little concerning. Returns should be Semaj, I'Marion Stewart, and hearing things about the UMass transfer Anthony Simpson. Chip's offense is about building his passing game onto your running game. They'd like to be an outside zone one way/rollout the other way team but they probably can't run outside zone. Need to hit the downfield shots to keep safeties off their screen game; last year they were set up at 7 yards.

As the Michigan football season creeps closer and closer with kickoff just 17 days away, Tony and Andrew are back for another episode of "Hail Yes" during the dog days of camp. Michigan coach Sherrone Moore spoke with the media for one of the final times of fall camp on Tuesday and gave an inside look at when he plans to name Bryce Underwood, Mikey Keene or Jake Garcia as the starting quarterback, and it'll be before opening kickoff. For now, it looks like Underwood continues to lead the way. Then, the guys talk about Michigan's mantra for the season, "today, not tomorrow," what it means and why it has a hidden benefit that you may not think of. Then after a quick break, Tony and Andrew talk about why these next few days are so important for Michigan football's roster battles and which units fans should really lock in on. Plus, what to make of the alleged gambling situation surrounding Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer, who the Wolverines will face in Week 2. And last but not least, Tony got to taste all the food that will be offered at the Big House this year and gives fans an idea of which ones they've got to check out. Read all about the Michigan Wolverines by heading to our website at freep.com/sports.

On this episode of "Better Than Fine," host Darlene Marshall welcomes featured guest Stefan Underwood, Vice President of Methodology at EXOS, for a deep dive into what it really means to be “ready” for the moments that matter—whether you're an athlete, executive, parent, or anyone facing life's daily challenges. Drawing from his extensive background in human performance, including work with elite athletes and military professionals, Stefan shares a holistic framework for readiness that moves far beyond sleep and traditional recovery. You'll hear why sleep and meditation, while important, are just part of a bigger equation. Stefan unpacks the four critical pillars he and the EXOS team use to help people show up at their best: understanding foundational characteristics, tapping into personal psychological drivers, building true capacity (from nutrition to mindset), and mastering functional state management. Whether you want to keep your cool at home with your kids or crush a big presentation at work, these strategies will help you recognize your current state and intentionally adjust for optimal performance. Darlene and Stefan also discuss the concept of resilience, the skill of sleep, micro-breaks for recovery, and why readiness isn't just for high achievers—it's for anyone who wants to be more present and adaptable. Packed with practical tips, personal stories, and a little inspiration from The Greatest Showman, this special encore episode is essential listening for anyone seeking sustainable, holistic well-being in a demanding world.

Seán Underwood, Consultant in Emergency Medicine Cork University Hospital

Serena and Matt return to the show by previewing Michigan's offense, which almost literally can't be worse but could be massively better, depending on the Bryce Underwood Let's Roll Experience, the magnitude of the O-coordinator upgrade, the potential Nico Collins clone, and the running back tandem that might be as good as any in the country.

Welcome back to By Their Side, everyone! Joining me today is someone with a raw, real, and inspiring story to share. Neil Underwood is the General Manager of Autonation Toyota Tempe, and he comes onto the show for this episode to share his past as a child living through what so many kids in the foster care system are living through today. Before he was leading teams and earning industry-wide awards in the automotive industry, Neil was a teenager sleeping in his car between foster placements, struggling to finish high school after losing his mom and brother at a young age. Listen in as Neil shares what it was really like to grow up in the system in the '70s and '80s, bouncing between homes, (some of which were not even licensed) and how the absence of support systems like CASA shaped his path. We discuss the turning points that helped him keep going, even when it felt like no one else was in his corner, and while Neil's story is raw and real, what really struck me most was his refusal to quit on himself, and how that mindset now drives the way that he leads others and gives back to his community. Neil and I also get into the practical ways that people can show up for youth in foster care, and we don't just just mean professionals but also neighbors, mentors, employers, anyone. Neil offers thoughtful advice to those trying to make a difference: be consistent, be real, and never underestimate the power of simply caring. This conversation got me thinking about the ripple effect of even one adult showing up, and I am sure that will inspire some deep thought within you, too! Neil is proof that resilience is real but also that no kid should have to do it alone. I am so grateful that he shared his story with me and with you! Highlights: [1:54] - Hear how Neil rose from poverty and foster care to become a longtime car industry leader. [3:51] - A lack of support systems left Neil drifting through unstable homes and sleeping in his car. [6:33] - Shelters were overcrowded and bleak, but Neil pushed forward, determined not to give up. [9:38] - Facing sudden independence when he aged out, Neil learned that trust builds via consistent care and presence in kids' lives. [12:51] - Neil believes that strong leadership means understanding and supporting employees at every level, face-to-face. [14:52] - Winning AutoNation's CEO Award helped affirm Neil's commitment to community. [16:34] - Neil is a champion for youth programs, ensuring measurable impact and long-term support even after aging out. [18:58] - Hear how having no safety net taught Neil to rely on himself and keep moving forward. [21:37] - Surrounding yourself with the right people is important for staying focused and avoiding setbacks. [24:58] - Neil found strength and purpose via sports and community support despite early failures and temptations. [27:38] - Supporting kids' dreams via volunteering can impact their future and leave a lasting impression. [30:14] - Neil believes that kids in foster care can thrive when shown care, consistency, and positive attention early on. [33:45] - Many kids in group homes flourish academically when given support, even when they are initially written off. Links & Resources: Neil's LinkedIn Page  

Things Discussed: Underwood v Keene: Craig tries to make the case for Mikey Keene if he's at all better than Underwood; Sam and Seth jump all over him (with history!)

We sometimes talk about technology on ReImagining Liberty, in the context of how it interacts with a liberal society, or how technology can help us defend and advance liberal. The big technology everyone's talking about right now is, of course, artificial intelligence. It's a topic I've written about, but not one I'd yet done an episode about specifically regarding what it means for liberalism.Then I read an essay by Ted Underwood, a professor in the School of Information Sciences, and in the English Department, at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. It's titled "A more interesting upside of AI" and you can find a link to it in the show notes. He argues that the framing of AI technology as aiming at "super-intelligence" is misguided, both undesirable and misunderstanding important aspects of society and culture. Instead, he's an advocate of viewing AI as a cultural technology. What grabbed my attention was his further claim that, as a cultural technology, it can help us map and appreciate cultural differences, and cultural similarities, in ways that line up with, and support, liberal principles like pluralism, tolerance, and understanding.It's a big claim, and a fascinating one, and it lead to really fun and illuminating discussion.Get early access to ReImagining Liberty, listen ad-free, and get access to our listener Discord community, by joining my Patreon.
