At, roughly, the halfway point of both the NFL and College seasons - there is no better time to check in on some of the stories that have had those in the business, as well as fans, on the edge of their seats. From the underwhelming Chargers and Rams to the transitional Colts, we talk expectations and outlook. Insight to a clotting issue and the Eagles future. On the college side, Miami then....who? Plus, first round QBs, an edg...
If you understand even a portion of what the Protect College Sports Act is supposed to accomplish, well, you are ahead of the curve. But if you are in the business of football, you better start to understand it all. So today, here on Scouting the League, Neil works to break it all down with Sports Lawyer and Principal Attorney at Frieser Legal, Josh Frieser. From legal terms, precedent and what the courts will do to the practica...
The Nittany Lion followed James Franklin south to Blacksburg and is putting up some big numbers. Will TE Luke Reynolds head to the NFL after this year?

The Georgia Bulldogs look like they will be tough to beat this year - and a big part of that is Safety - KJ Bolden. A playmaking safety that I expect will be a part of the 2027 NFL Draft.

Many so called "experts" are happy to cite "unnamed" sources when it comes to being first. But for NFL Scouts, being right is what matters. Which means, time, relationship and vetting must be part of your process.

Tennessee is known to put up some points throwing the ball, so having a guy like Mike Matthews certainly pays off. Will he have a decision to make at the end of the season? Draft or return?

Wins are what matter each week but the work of scouts every day still matters. Whether a Pro Scout or a College scout - I pull the curtain back on what scouts across the country are doing.

The "historic" QB class that was supposed to be a part of the 2027 NFL Draft has gotten real thin with a lot of questions - so could we really see a scenario with no first round QBs? Plus - edges that have hurt themselves, corners that can cover, WRs that are special and so much more.

Veterans. Rookies. Developmental. Short List. NFL Teams have different philosophies on how they want to put their Practice Squad together. Does it matter? Maybe - but it will certainly tell you a little more about how they want to operate.

From Colorado and one of the top recruits in the country to protecting the blindside of a QB where you never know where he is going to end up. Jordan Seaton has traits that make him an easy 1st rounder - but what will it take to get him into the top 10?

NFL Franchises have unfortunately gotten real cheap in one of the spots where they love to use the buzzword: Development.
Not a complicated thing - evaluate and develop everyone. Where is it missing most and what have I heard from teams across the NFL......

Ben Standig is no stranger to controversy, he covered the Redskins/WFT/Commanders when Dan Snyder was the owner......
But when he isn't focused on the Commanders, he is probably talking to NFL Agents and getting insight that goes into his MASSIVE Agent Survey. From Best and Worst Front Offices, to who is the hardest to deal with. What franchises do it right, and who agents try to avoid. Names you know, names you need to know and ...
An interior DL who has been impactful for the Canes. But does that translate to NFL success?

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
