We also discuss the departure of wide receiver Kyle Parker, why he’s entering the portal, and how his exi...
LSU will be in the quarterback market when the transfer portal opens—but who is Lane Kiffin actually targeting?
We break down the six quarterbacks LSU is monitoring, including four familiar names and two longshots that could quietly find their way to Baton Rouge for the 2026 season. Some are already being discussed nationally, while others are under-the-radar options that fit what Kiffin wants offensively.
We also discuss the latest ...
LSU safety Dashawn Spears briefly sent shockwaves through Tiger Nation when he announced he was entering the transfer portal—only to reverse course a short time later. We’ve confirmed Spears is returning for his junior season and is expected to start at free safety, replacing AJ Haulcy in LSU’s secondary.
So what happened behind the scenes? Why did Spears enter the portal, and what ultimately led to him staying in Baton Rouge? We br...
LSU scored a major win before Lane Kiffin has even coached a game.
Running back Harlem Berry has agreed to return to LSU for his sophomore season, and we break down why Berry chose to stay in Baton Rouge instead of entering the transfer portal. With NIL negotiations, staff turnover, and roster uncertainty swirling, this was a critical early victory for Kiffin and general manager Billy Glasscock.
We explain what went into Berry’s deci...
Ole Miss is accusing Lane Kiffin of tampering—and while they might technically be right, that’s not the real story.
In today’s college football landscape, tampering isn’t an exception—it’s the norm. LSU isn’t doing anything that dozens of other programs aren’t also doing behind the scenes, and the NCAA has shown time and time again that it has no real power to enforce the rules.
So why is Ole Miss pushing this now?
Because Lane Kiffin...
LSU continues to strengthen its off-field operation, and this latest move could have major implications for the transfer portal.
The Tigers are adding Austin Shelton from NC State to the player personnel department, reuniting him with LSU General Manager Billy Glasscock after previous stops together at Texas and NC State.

The internet erupted after Lane Kiffin left the Texas Bowl early — but the outrage is wildly overblown.
In this episode, we provide the context and receipts, detailing how multiple head coaches have made the exact same post-bowl decision without facing any backlash. If critics want to go after Lane Kiffin, that’s their prerogative — but this isn’t the hill to die on.
Once the noise is stripped away, the focus shifts to what actually ...
LSU’s offensive line has officially hit the reset button.
With Paul Mubenga and Ory Williams entering the transfer portal, LSU now has six offensive linemen leaving this cycle — and fans are understandably asking questions.
Is this a red flag for Lane Kiffin?
Do players dislike the new offensive line coach?
Is LSU running into NIL or budget issues?
In this episode, we cut through the noise and explain why this is not a crisis, but a cal...
LSU’s offense finally showed up — and it still wasn’t enough.
The Tigers scored 35 points in a 38–35 loss to Houston in the Texas Bowl, turning in their best offensive performance of the season while a defense missing six starters struggled to get stops when it mattered most.
In this episode, we break down how LSU moved the ball so effectively, why the defensive issues were almost unavoidable given the personnel absences, and the key...
LSU starting left tackle Tyree Adams has entered the transfer portal, becoming the fourth offensive lineman to leave this cycle. While that number may raise eyebrows, this move fits squarely within the plan LSU’s new leadership had coming in.
In this episode, we explain why Lane Kiffin and general manager Billy Glasscock expected heavy offensive line turnover and how LSU is intentionally rebuilding the unit through the transfer port...

Three SEC powerhouses—Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss—remain in the hunt for a College Football Playoff title, but which squad has the edge to secure a national championship? The panel debates playoff predictions, debating the strengths and vulnerabilities of Alabama, Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss, and the ever-dominant Georgia Bulldogs. Can Ole Miss pull off a Disney-worthy run? Will Georgia’s balanced attack prove unstoppable, or is Alab...
A new report suggests Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss faces a steep climb to receive a medical redshirt waiver, and that decision could have ripple effects across the SEC.
If Chambliss is denied an extra year of eligibility, how does that impact LSU’s search for a quarterback in the transfer portal under Lane Kiffin? We break down why this development matters, how it could quietly shift LSU’s QB board, and why every possible...

Sterling Lucas is now officially in Bat...
Harlem Berry met with LSU’s new running backs coach Kevin Smith the day Smith arrived in Baton Rouge — a clear signal that Berry is seeking clarity about his future with the Tigers in 2026.
But that clarity may not come easily.
If Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy decides to enter the transfer portal and follow Lane Kiffin to LSU, it could significantly complicate LSU’s running back room, depth chart, and NIL allocation.
In this episod...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
