Let's nerd out with Mina Kimes
July 07, 2023 10:39 - 45 minutes - 42 MBESPN's Mina Kimes joins the show, and it's incredible she even has time considering how much film she's dissecting this time of year. You see her on NFL Live and you listen to her on her podcast, "The Mina Kimes Show, featuring Lenny." Now, she takes her talents to the Go Long Podcast for an episode. Mina walks us through her life, and how she evolved into such a film junkie. There's a reason for her smooth rapport with the Live crew, too. On to NFL topics, we get her thoughts on everything...
Does the NFL have a gambling problem?
July 03, 2023 09:00 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MBMore players have been suspended for gambling. Most are fringe. What does this mean for the NFL? Is this the sign of a damning issue ahead or is the league cleaning up? Let's examine. Co-host Jim Monos offers his sharp thoughts, too.

Mac Jones, Bill O'Brien and the future of the Patriots with Ollie Connolly
June 28, 2023 12:34 - 48 minutes - 44.2 MBThey're the forgotten team in the AFC East, those New England Patriots. Entrusting the offense with Matt Patricia and Joe Judge tends to do that. It's about time we tried to make sense of Bill Belichick's crew, so I chat with the exceptional Ollie Connolly of The Read Optional. The UK native covers the X's and O's of American football as well as anyone in the business and just wrote this in-depth piece on the direction of the Patriots offense: https://www.readoptional.com/p/which-bill-obrien-...
Who enjoys a renaissance in 2023?
June 26, 2023 16:47 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MBZay Jones turned his career -- and life -- around. Five years ago, he nearly threw himself through a window 30 floors high. Now, he's making play... after play... after play on a contender. Go Long sat down with Jones to get the whole story. You can read that here: https://www.golongtd.com/p/im-still-alive-the-zay-jones-story In lieu of his remarkable turnaround, who's next? We each have a name to discuss.

June 23, 2023 12:10 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MBGood day! Hey, don't miss our profile over at Go Long on Zay Jones this AM. I traveled to Jacksonville to sit down with the wide receiver. He relives everything, including the night he could've lost his life: https://www.golongtd.com/p/im-still-alive-the-zay-jones-story In lieu of this, what a perfect time to welcome on a Jaguars expert to the podcast.

Hell yes, Jared Goff can lead Detroit to a Super Bowl
June 21, 2023 23:07 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MBThe Lions may have the best offense in the NFC. Can Jared Goff win them the Super Bowl? I think so. We discuss. We debate. This was a fun conversation at Fattey Beer Company in Orchard Park, NY. A wide-open NFC sure can feed some interesting dialogue. Let us know what you think. For Go Long subscribers, here's my column from this week on Goff: https://www.golongtd.com/p/why-jared-goff-is-the-key-in-the A feature from 2020 at Go Long. An exclusive with Goff as his Rams days neared an end: ht...
The Stefon Diggs mess, explained
June 15, 2023 10:41 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBWhat's going on in Orchard Park? A lot! First, Sean McDermott is "very concerned" that his star wide receiver isn't practicing. Then, he's here. And practicing. And McDermott essentially says there's nothing to see here. And Josh Allen says there's non-football stuff to work through. Let's break it all down on the podcast. With co-host Jim Monos -- the team's former director of personnel who's familiar with both coach and receiver, a man who once traded for LeSean McCoy -- we explore why Di...
Death threats, a perfect spiral, an everlasting legacy: Our Warren Moon Happy Hour
June 12, 2023 09:54 - 1 hour - 71.6 MBThe Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback joins the Go Long Happy Hour with VIP subscribers and opens up on his historic career. Here's the replay. Moon relives the rise of the run and shoot in Houston, "The Comeback" loss in Buffalo and reveals the secret behind his gorgeous spiral. (It involved nail clippers.) Most importantly, Moon blazed a trail for future African-American quarterbacks. It was a different time when he played. He can remember security surrounding him on the sideline in Cle...
Is the Lions hype for real?
June 08, 2023 15:01 - 16 minutes - 15.3 MBOn our trip to Detroit, I catch up with Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press. Nobody covers the team on a day-to-day basis better than Dave.

2023 Go Long QB Draft, Picks 9-21: Will Aaron Rodgers succeed in NJ?
June 02, 2023 12:04 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBWe pick up with Part II right here. The first Go Long Quarterback Draft continues with co-host Jim Monos, The Athletic's Matthew Fairburn and myself. Fairburn explains why he's taking Aaron Rodgers at No. 9, a player who may or may not be on certain draft boards. Then, all three of us take calculated risks -- this is where the draft gets very interesting. A free dinner at The Grange is at stake, of course. We each will take the five best PFF grades from our seven quarterbacks. Join the Go Lon...
2023 Go Long QB Draft, Picks 1-8: Mahomes, Allen or Burrow?
June 02, 2023 10:43 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBThis was fun. At Fattey Beer Company's Hamburg location, I'm joined by co-host Jim Monos and recurring guest Matthew Fairburn, of The Athletic, for our first Go Long Quarterback Draft. The rules are simple. We're drafting on the 2023 season alone. We each select seven quarterbacks in a snake format and, at season's end, take the best PFF grades from our top five guys. Whoever wins gets a free dinner at The Grange with the bill decided via credit-card roulette between the two losers. Monos ear...
The Raiders & Jimmy G swim in no man's land
May 31, 2023 00:39 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MBWhat's the plan? It doesn't appear the Raiders have one. Yes, they can get out of the Jimmy Garoppolo contract if he injuries his foot. Yes, injury clauses are common. But this mess speaks to the larger problem in Las Vegas. Subscribe to Go Long at www.golongtd.com/subscribe to access all stories, all Q&As, all podcasts.

Patrick Laird will make you think
May 30, 2023 15:02 - 1 hour - 83.8 MBWhen in Tampa, one must visit Cigar City Brewing to drink Jai Alai. So why not share some IPAs with one of the most downright curious players in the entire league? Patrick Laird started a summer reading program at Cal, had fans getting his stat line tatted on their thigh as a rookie with the Miami Dolphins and remains an intensely-curious individual to the bone. He's entering his fifth pro season in 2023, now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We chatted about everything: His wild rise, the val...

Evolve or die (Buffalo is evolving)
May 23, 2023 01:48 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBThe great adaptation is underway. We bring on co-host Jim Monos to explore Isaiah McKenzie's "snow" comments with further nuance. The Buffalo Bills have essentially taken McKenzie's advice behind the scenes to heart in tweaking their personnel. We explain. Miss the column at Go Long? https://www.golongtd.com/p/all-eyes-on-ken-dorseys-counterpunch Or McKenzie's Happy Hour? https://www.golongtd.com/p/happy-hour-isaiah-mckenzie-says-goodbye You can subscribe to Go Long any time to get everything...
Snow? Here's why Isaiah McKenzie has a point
May 20, 2023 12:10 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBYou never know when a spark will lead to a wildfire, but apparently people are unhappy with Isaiah McKenzie's comments on our Happy Hour! ICYMI, here's that episode in full: https://www.golongtd.com/p/happy-hour-isaiah-mckenzie-says-goodbye Yes, the former Bills receiver believes they could've beat Cincinnati in a dome. That's debatable. But what is not debatable is that the Bills were not built to win in the snow. I wrote a column on Ken Dorsey, Joe Barry and the coordinators who could decid...
Tiki Barber is at peace
May 19, 2023 18:18 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBHe was charismatic, opinionated, electric on the field and retired at the absolute peak of his powers. In so many ways, Tiki Barber was years ahead of his time. Nowadays, New Yorkers hear Barber break all sports down on WFAN. But a generation ago, he was one of the best backs in the NFL. Read the full conversation at Go Long right here if you'd like: https://www.golongtd.com/p/the-tiki-barber-story Barber talks football, life and everything in-between from clashing with Tom Coughlin to a butt...
Dak or McCarthy?
May 18, 2023 00:10 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MBA free-wheelin' pod from Fattey Beer Company in Hamburg, NY. We debate the "elite"-ness of Trevor Lawrence and where the Jacksonville quarterback stacks up in the AFC. Over in the NFC, good luck ranking quarterbacks. After Jalen Hurts, you can make an argument for (or against) just about anyone. So we do. And it sure makes 2023 quite interesting in Dallas where Mike McCarthy fired a bunch of longtime allies. If Jerry Jones is forced to choose between his head coach and quarterback, who would...
Ben Leber and the NFL's violent reality
May 17, 2023 11:53 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MBHis 2009 Minnesota Vikings fell victim to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship, but it's not "Bountygate" that pisses off Ben Leber to this day. Far from it. I think you'll be surprised by his thoughts on that iconic game, Gregg Williams and this sport's ruthless reality. Also, we discuss the state of youth sports in America, playing with Junior Seau as a rookie in San Diego, his best memories from a 10-year NFL career and Leber's expectations for the 2023 Minnesota Vikings. Today,...
Why Kevin Kolb is the story of pro football
May 15, 2023 14:23 - 50 minutes - 45.9 MBThe conversation continues here on the podcast with co-host Jim Monos. For every Patrick Mahomes, there's Kevin Kolb. Tragedy to the triumph. Yet, as Kolb explained over at GoLongTD.com, everything that came with his four concussions was worse than the concussions themselves. His darkness was quite terrifying. Yet over the past decade, he has found his way out. Here on the podcast, we discuss violence and football. ICYMI, here's the series that ran at Go Long. Thank you reading, everyone. ...
Happy Hour: Isaiah McKenzie says goodbye to the Bills (and a lot more)
May 15, 2023 11:21 - 1 hour - 76.9 MBHe's back. Isaiah McKenzie hangs out with subscribers on the Go Long Happy Hour. Everything is on the table with the former podcast co-host, too. His Bills exit, and why he was surprised by Brandon Beane's 180-degree turn. (Deonte Harty's contract raised his eyebrows, too. Kudos to his agent.) Brian Daboll's offense vs. Ken Dorsey's offense. What's the difference? A lot. He explains. The playoff loss to Cincinnati. What the hell happened? Snow, he says, was a factor. Is Stefon Diggs gen...
The Lions (and Falcons) don't care about your feelings
May 03, 2023 10:50 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBBoth teams took running backs in the first round and both teams have a master plan. Will it work? I discuss live at Fattey Beer Company in Hamburg with co-host Jim Monos. Also, on the docket: A ton of Lamar Jackson/Ravens talk. The two sides finally reached a compromise.

Return of the Back! (Round 1 was fun)
April 28, 2023 20:56 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBLet Detroit and Atlanta cook -- running backs are back, baby. Why Anthony Richardson and the Colts are a perfect fit. Dalton Kincaid is exactly what Buffalo needs. Houston's no longer interested in losing on purpose. Seattle got excellent value. All of these takes, and more, on a solo pod this evening. I think we'll all look back at this as the day the Falcons became a legitimate threat: https://www.golongtd.com/p/the-atlanta-falcons-have-stepped Scouts on Van Ness, Kincaid, Banks: https://ww...
This is the Bills' most important draft since 2018
April 27, 2023 10:02 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MBWhat will Buffalo do? Head coach Sean McDermott has had final say since taking control, but can everyone agree that going offense is the best strategy?

Aaron Rodgers trade, a tale of two franchises
April 25, 2023 15:02 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MBWe learned everything we needed to know about the Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets with this trade. New York is desperate. Green Bay was diligent. The trade details bear it all out. GM Brian Gutekunst made the absolute best of a brutal situation.

C.J. Stroud and the 'S2' debate
April 23, 2023 12:44 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBHow much should teams factor in his 18% on the cognitive test? Our Bob McGinn at Go Long turned heads with his reporting on the rise of the S2 test. Alabama's Bryce Young (98%) blew Stroud away, hence the Ohio State quarterback's fall. Some teams are concerned: https://www.golongtd.com/p/part-3-qb-bryce-young-has-the-s2 On the podcast, longtime personnel man Jim Monos and myself discuss what this all means? Stroud made throwing a football look so effortless in college, but this performance on...
The 49ers dangle Trey Lance
April 20, 2023 00:46 - 19 minutes - 17.5 MBSometimes, you've got to read between the lines. San Francisco dropped the first bread crumb on Wednesday with NFL Network reporting the team is receiving calls on Trey Lance. If Brock Purdy's health stays on track and if Sam Darnold picks up the offense as a No. 2 -- wild as it seems -- the 49ers just may move on from their third overall pick in 2021. On a solo pod, let's explore potential landing spots. It's a fantastic time to subscribe to Go Long. Access Bob McGinn's entire draft series ...
Would you draft Jalen Carter?
April 18, 2023 20:59 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBThis year's colossal character risk? Georgia's mammoth defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Every team at the top of the draft is doing everything they possibly can to dissect a prospect who may wreck NFL offenses... but who also may not love football that much. And who also has major off-field concerns. Co-host Jim Monos relives red flags past inside the NFL draft room. Also, his Buffalo Bills possessed another large man who violently moved other large men on a football field: Marcell Dareus. Is ...

Should Bryce Young go No. 1? Mike Rodak dissects
April 11, 2023 11:29 - 56 minutes - 51.3 MBArguably nobody knows the quarterback's game better than Mike Rodak of AL.com. He has seen every snap. He covered Tua Tagovailoa, Mac Jones and Jalen Hurts at Alabama. (And he'll forever hold a special place in the hearts of Bills fans.) Rodak's insight is exceptional. Even given Anthony Richardson's unique size, speed and power arm, it'll be awfully difficult for any team to pass on Young. You can follow Rodak's coverage of the Crimson Tide at AL.com and follow him on Twitter @mikerodak. As ...

Fear the Falcons?
April 04, 2023 02:16 - 44 minutes - 40.7 MBGreetings! We come at you live from Fattey Beer in the village of Hamburg, NY, with some jazz music in the background. Did Calais Campbell choosing Atlanta tell us that we should start taking these Falcons seriously? We saw quite reaction on this take. Here on the podcast, it's time to delve deeper. Co-host Jim Monos worked with GM Terry Fontenot in New Orleans and there was definitely a common DNA thread to their signings this spring. Of course, the big question is whether or not Desmond Ri...

Inside Tavon Wilson's football fight
April 03, 2023 11:11 - 48 minutes - 44 MBIt's never a coincidence. For a player to last a full 10 years in the NFL, he's got to have a special fight to him. That is most certainly the case with longtime safety Tavon Wilson. He spent his decade in the NFL with New England, Detroit, Indianapolis and San Francisco. After a full year out of the game, he's at peace with life post-football, too. Be sure to read our longform feature on Wilson from two years ago right here: https://www.golongtd.com/p/the-moments-that-made-tavon-wilson Here ...
Hey, look at those Falcons
March 30, 2023 00:22 - 18 minutes - 17.3 MBThe Calais Campbell signing is interesting. If this veteran -- at this point of his career -- is actively choosing Atlanta, this organization must be doing something right. Now, the billion-dollar question: Is Desmond Ridder really the guy? They think so. Here's a quick first look at the Falcons with more to follow once we get Jim Monos back on. Subscribe to Go Long at www.golongtd.com/subscribe to get all content!
