NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Aamil Wagner, RT, Notre Dame
Summer is here, and it is everyone's favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.

Player Summary
If you want an offensive tackle on your team who will be an enforcer for your entire offense, Aamil Wagner is your guy. If he had skates on, he would be on a Stanley Cup-winning hockey team playing a pivotal role in how they intimidate teams. Instead, he is just playing at Notre Dame and taking out edge rushers who try to get around him. He is constantly taking them out of plays completely, or is simply anchoring well enough to the point they give up on the rep. He needs to get more agile when kicking out, but the raw power and physical traits are there for teams to work with and develop further.

Emmy-winning Detroit TV reporter's home searched by authorities amid sexual harassment probe
The investigator becomes the investigated. Authorities in Detroit searched the home of an Emmy-winning television reporter who co-hosts a podcast with a Los Angeles Rams player's wife following alleged sexual misconduct. 3 Television reporter Hank Winchester's home was searched by authorities following reports of alleged unwanted sexual advances with a man during a massage. hankwinchester/Instagram Hank Winchester, an investigative reporter at the NBC-affiliated WDIV Local 4 station and host of HelpMeHank, is married to Oakland County Circuit Judge Jacob Cunningham, according to Winchester's Instagram. The two also share a young daughter. Beverly Hills Police searched his home alongside the Oakland County Sheriff's Office while executing a search warrant related to alleged unwanted sexual advances Winchester made toward a man during a massage, as reported by Fox 2. Winchester also co-hosts 'The Morning After' podcast with Kelly Stafford, who is married to LA Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. The show occasionally features high-profile guests employed by media powerhouses like Access Hollywood and ESPN. 3 Winchester hosts HelpMeHank at WDIV Local 4. hankwinchester/Instagram Before joining the Rams, Matthew Stafford played for the Detroit Lions from 2009 to 2020. Winchester has been close with the entire family for years, he wrote in a farewell to the Staffords when they moved to LA in 2021. Winchester was also placed on administrative leave as a result of the 'external investigation,' WDIV Vice President Bob Ellis wrote in a statement. 3 Winchester co-hosts 'The Morning After' podcast Kelly Stafford. hankwinchester/Instagram Todd Flood, Winchester's attorney, is confident the probe will flop. 'Hank has spent decades bringing truth to our community and fighting for our citizens. Because he holds a high-profile position in our community, that can at times generate false accusations. This investigation will end where it began – nowhere,' he wrote. No charges have been filed. The investigation is still ongoing. Winchester isn't the only media figure to find himself facing similar allegations in recent months. In April, a disgraced weatherman in Virginia was arrested after allegedly making a sex tape and using it to extort his victims. Last year, a Louisiana television anchor resigned after he was caught sexting who he thought was a 15-year-old girl but was in reality a vigilante trio dubbed the 'predator hunters.'

Fort Lauderdale businesses booming ahead of Panthers Championship Parade
Hundreds of thousands of fans are expected to flood Fort Lauderdale Beach this Sunday to celebrate the Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup win, according to city officials and the surge of visitors is bringing a major boost to businesses along A1A. While summer is typically the slower season for tourism and hospitality, local hotels and restaurants say they're booked solid and bracing for one of the busiest weekends of the year. Parade Brings Business Surge Along A1A "Our ordering already has changed three times in the past 24 hours. Our vendors are calling, asking, 'Are you sure?' Hey, jack up the order, double it, triple it," said Dante Reveyoso, general manager of Riviera Restaurant in the Hotel Maren, located at the end of the parade route. Reveyoso said the hotel is fully booked and the restaurant is already at reservation capacity as they prepare for a flood of paradegoers. At the start of the parade route, The Atlantic Hotel & Spa is also at full occupancy. Managers say guests began extending their stays right after the Panthers clinched the championship Tuesday night. "Just to have a championship again and a second championship, you can imagine the pride that we all take in being a part of the process," said Renee McKinney-Callender, director of human resources at The Atlantic Hotel & Spa. Bars, restaurants preparing for full house Bo's Beach, which offers a front-row view of the main stage, is opening early at 8 a.m. on Sunday. The venue will be fully staffed and seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis. "You can see them getting off the van, the bus, the cars, the trailers — everything just coming through — and you can just see the Cup right there. It's amazing," said Lindsay Ravenell, director of events at Bo's Beach. With fans already thinking ahead, Ravenell said excitement for a repeat championship is already in the air. "Let's do another one. Let's do a triple, it's coming. We can hold it down," she said.

Who's calling the Panthers ‘The ‘NHL's Pre-Eminent Dirtbags?'
Perhaps you expect Panthers hate from sports opinion columnists, especially those from Canada. But, you don't expect The Wall Street Journal to act like the Panthers' second consecutive Stanley Cup tanked the stock market. 'The NHL's Pre-Eminent Dirtbags Are Now Stanley Cup Champions' snarled the headline on a Wednesday story that seems to ignore the Panthers lifted Stanley last year, too. 'The Panthers specialize in playing dirtbag hockey,' reads the prose from WSJ's Laine Higgins. The story points out the Panthers' ability to play on the edge and over it (most penalties taken in the playoffs) without paying for it (best penalty kill in the playoffs) gets opponents off their games. And, it does compliment the Panthers' team defense. The story didn't give as much credit to the physical toll playing a big, fast, enthusiastically bodychecking team like the Panthers does to you over a seven-game series. Nor did it give as much credit for the Panthers ability to finish scoring chances (4.09 goals per game, best in the playoffs this year). It did call Conn Smythe winner Sam Bennett 'unscrupulous' and point out his collisions with Toronto goalie Anthony Solarz (concussion) and Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner (a Game 1 goal that led to an ensuing power-play goal when Edmonton's appeal for goalie interference got denied). We would get comment from the Panthers, but they're a bit busy parading the Stanley Cup around to bars, the neighbors' houses and whatnot. Nothing new for South Florida From Miami to Fort Lauderdale to the Palm Beach-Martin county line, this area's used to the its championship teams being hated. Remember all the harrumphing and whining during the Heat's Big 3 era? While some NBA fans appreciated the gorgeous basketball displayed nightly by Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh and the supporting cast, others pouted 'no fair!' and fumed 'built not bought' as if the Heat opened a vault to vacuum up the stars. And, no team in college-affiliated football history — and few in any sport — ever will be reviled as widely as the University of Miami Hurricanes of the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s. To the dismay of opposing fans, national media and opponents, those teams backed up their incessant trash talking, celebratory dances and struts by gleefully mollywhopping opponents. Really, these Panthers resemble the original Panthers of the franchise's first four years, albeit far more skilled. Panthers general manager Bob Clarke, president Bill Torrey and coach Roger Neilson knew there wouldn't be a surfeit of offensive talent in the expansion draft. So, they chose players they hated playing against. They remembered checks finished almost too late, hard stops sending ice shavings into the masks of kneeling goalies, trash talk, entire benches screaming threats at guys who played hard and nasty for 60 minutes. Two moments that epitomized those Panthers came in Game 3 of the 1996 Eastern Conference final against Pittsburgh. In the first period, Bill Lindsay poked and goaded Penguins superstar right wing Jaromir Jagr. Lindsay eventually got a punch to the head. Jagr got two minutes for roughing. Later, with the Panthers up 5-2, infuriated Pittsburgh semi-deity Mario Lemieux expressed his frustration with a roughing penalty of his own. Now, 28 years later, Lindsay smiles from the radio booth in the press box at a team that's the best form of the Panthers.
