It’s time for everyone to take Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings seriously. Kevin O’Connell just may have some “special shit” brewing. Optimism is high in Wisconsin, too. Somehow, the Packers have coasted to a pair of victories with Malik Willis in and Jordan Love out. Let’s get into everything for another marathon podcast with your pal, my pal…

You may remember Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila sacking quarterbacks at will with the Green Bay Packers at the turn of the century. His get-off speed was rare. Only Clay Matthews has sacked the quarterback more as a Packer. He was a player who loved chatting up teammates, coaches and media members alike about faith. A lot. That’s not uncommon. Everything tha…

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.golongtd.com Two games in, the Minnesota Vikings think it’s a damn fight. First, Kevin O’Connell’s crew clobbered the Giants. Next, they stunned the defending NFC Champions. Can it last? Here on the “Ty & Bob Pod” at Go Long — with Hall of Fame scribe Bob McGinn — we take a close loo…

The NFC North promises to be one of the best divisions in football. It’s loaded with intrigue. Bob McGinn, enshrined in Canton for his distinguished career covering the NFL since 1979, remains extremely plugged into the league and has plenty of analysis to share. He’s still studying the tape unlike anyone in the business. Thus, the “Ty & Bob Pod” c…

No player generates more opinion and more emotion than one, Aaron Rodgers. He has managed to stay in the headlines for many reasons. Football or otherwise. Finally, one author threw himself into the quarterback’s world: Ian O’Connor with “Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers.” Rodgers’ career with the New York Jets now begins. For the …

All four teams in the NFC South made very different quarterback bets the last two years. Carolina sold the farm for Bryce Young. Tampa Bay went thrifting for Baker Mayfield. New Orleans paid Derek Carr as the missing piece. And Atlanta, of course, shocked the football world by signing Kirk Cousins and drafting Michael Penix Jr. To wrap up our divis…

We’re in agreement: Mike Tomlin is one of the best coaches in the NFL. The man nearly led a Duck Hodges-quarterbacked club to the playoffs. He knows how to muck a game up and will forever ensure his team’s in the playoff mix. But when it comes to the quarterback position, this is the plan? I was critical of the pivot back in the spring — Russell Wi…

Erik Kramer shot himself, and survived. Then, he nearly lost his life again. Our longtime members at Go Long will recall our three-parter on the former NFL quarterback. It didn’t have a conclusion then. The woman who coerced him into a sham marriage and then robbed him of tens of thousands of dollars had not been punished yet. Kramer finally receiv…

The San Francisco 49ers came within inches of another Super Bowl. This is a roster loaded with talent — Hall of Fame-level talent — at important positions. And yet? This offseason exposed fractures. As of this posting, the status of Brandon Aiyuk remains a mystery. We expect San Francisco to be in the NFC title conversation again, obviously, but a …

Patrick Mahomes is a different competitive species. This is a quarterback who hears management secured him a left tackle and — re-fueled with adrenaline — immediately chips a shot out of the 16th-hole bunker at Augusta within six feet of the cup. There’s plenty of magic to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, the best player in the sport tries to make hist…

Bring up the Buffalo Bills to anyone in Western New York and “Stefon Diggs” inevitably comes up. Locals are excited for change. This name is also a hot topic of conversation in Houston… for much different reasons. Our division-by-division podcast preview continues with a (suddenly fun) AFC South. The excellent D.J. Bien-Aime joins me to discuss. D.…

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.golongtd.com A sincere thank you to everyone who carved out time for our latest Happy Hour. The always-entertaining and authentic LeRoy Butler joined Go Long subscribers and there were stories galore. Full audio and video is available to our paid members. Remember, just let me know w…

Our podcast previews continue a rollicking NFC East discussion. Conor Orr, the exceptional scribe at Sports Illustrated, joins me to break it all down. Brian Daboll has taken matters into his own hands this summer. Clearly, these practices are different. The Giants don’t want to get pushed around again. That “Click Click Boom” by Saliva you hear on…

The Buffalo Bills welcomed a bold experiment at wide receiver. There’s no ambiguity. They’ll orbit around their quarterback, and his wishes. Down south, Mike McDaniel is sticking with Tua Tagovailoa as his quarterback. Finally, the two sides reached an agreement. Does 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers have one last hurrah in him? The New York Jets need to …

Dust off your Robert Porcher and Dorsey Levens jerseys. For my money, the NFC Central-turned-North hasn’t been loaded in nearly three decades. Both the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions are fresh off seasons in which they were a breath away from thinking Super Bowl. No. 1 pick Caleb Williams has a realistic chance to cure the Chicago Bears’ centu…

Here’s the full Happy Hour Replay with the former NFL quarterback. Johnson relives that quarterback controversy with Doug Flutie — was their bad blood? We …

Nobody has covered the Buffalo Bills longer than my friend, Chuck Pollock. What a fun walk through history this podcast was with the longtime Olean Times Herald sports editor who’s now writing for the Olean Star and Wellsville Sun here in Western New York. Chuck takes listeners right through his time covering the Bills from 1973 to today. You’ll he…

There is nobody quite like Wyatt Teller on the line of scrimmage. He is 6 foot 4 inches, 315 pounds of whiskey-loving, alligator-hunting hell for defensive players. The Cleveland Browns have had arguably the best rushing attack since 2020, and he’s a primary reason why. Go Long readers may recall getting to know Teller in this story a few years bac…

More teams have officially placed their quarterback bets. Six of the first 12 picks in the 2024 draft were QBs. Which rookies have entered the best possible situation? We examine on this week’s episode of the Go Long Show. Caleb Williams has an opportunity to exorcise a century of demons in Chicago. (Part I and Part II of our series, icymi.) Jayden…

Good afternoon! Hope everyone has prepared their grills and country-music playlists accordingly for July 4. First, a quick programming note. When it gets quiet here at Go Long, I promise that’s a good thing. This lull in the NFL calendar is prime time to chip away at bigger projects. Will be sharing the first extensive feature on Monday morning. Un…

You’re never quite sure when or how a quote or anecdote from a story will rip through the modern NFL news cycle. Three weeks ago, I wrote a story trying to make sense of the Dallas Cowboys’ bizarre offseason rooted in conversations with those who’ve worked in the front office. The note was somewhat buried in a bigger-picture piece. But, yes. One fo…

John Madden (“Boom!”) and Pat Summerall (“Nothing doing!”) on Sundays. Hank Williams Jr. on Monday nights. A sport not yet dulled by the suits on Park Avenue. Favre and Aikman and Young and Kelly and Elway and Marino. Football peaked in the 90s. But it wasn’t without its issues… especially at the end of the decade. One year after Jerry Rice clearly…

Life is sweet for Preston Brown. He’s happy now. The middle linebacker who roamed NFL defenses from 2014- ‘19 is living in Atlanta. He’s engaged. He has two dogs. He still works out all of the time at his home gym. Brown is also a man who can finally take a deep breath and reflect on the high drama that is professional football. As always, Go Long …

A half-decade of heartbreak has convinced Brandon Beane that major change is needed to this Buffalo Bills roster. Granted, this was a team $41 million in the red at the start of the new league year. But as the Bills general manager detailed to Go Long in a 1 on 1 conversation, the team sees immense value in reinventing the roster around quarterback…

He’ll become a rich man very soon. Jordan Love played his way into the upper tier of quarterback contracts late last season. Still, this was a small sample size. And opposing defensive coordinators are bound to offer a counterpunch. The same bet these Green Bay Packers placed on Love the night of April 23, 2020 applies in June 2024. This is a playe…

One year ago, Super Bowl visions danced in their heads. The Jacksonville Jaguars, fresh off a thrilling run to the playoffs, appeared poised to launch themselves into serious contention once and for all. We chronicled the 180 from life under Urban Meyer to Doug Pederson. The Jags started 8-3. A No. 1 seed was in sight. Then… disaster. The Jaguars f…

Now is not the time to hyper-analyze and agonize over OTA reps. While tempting, it’s dangerous to watch a few 7-on-7 throws and make bold proclamations about a quarterback’s “chemistry” with a rookie receiver. However, this is a perfect opportunity to take a deep breath and see where a few teams stand post-draft because not every team got what it w…

Alex Green lost football, then he almost lost his life. The former NFL running back shares his chilling story with Go Long on our latest Happy Hour session. This may be our most compelling yet with Green, the ex-Packer, detailing his descent into a gripping addiction to alcohol, weed and cocaine. In harrowing detail, he relives the night he nearly …

The Chicago Bears have been in desperate need of a Big Bang at the quarterback position for, oh, 105 years. Hello, Caleb Williams. The Heisman Trophy-winner out of USC is unlike anyone before him, lip gloss included. Our extended two-part series examines where the Bears have been and where the Bears are going at quarterback. Let’s continue the conv…

There are quarterbacks locked into mega contracts. There are quarterbacks on rookie deals. And then there’s a third category. Detroit, Miami and Jacksonville all are in the midst of difficult conversations with their starting quarterbacks. Publicly, the general managers and head coaches involved speak glowingly about their guy under center. Private…

At No. 8 overall, the Atlanta Falcons shocked everyone. Their fans. The other 31 teams. You at home. Your grandmother who doesn’t care about football. And, without question, Kirk Cousins. GM Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris selected Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr., fresh off signing Cousins to his monster contract in March. With…

Brandon Beane played poker on Day 1, found his wide receiver on Day 2 and sure hopes the Buffalo Bills landed a few more long-term starters throughout the 2024 NFL Draft. It was an eventful weekend at One Bills Drive. Go Long has been tracking the direction of this team closely since last December’s three-part series, and wanted to take a moment to…

Caleb Williams has been the presumptive No. 1 overall pick for months. And months. And few have questioned whether or not that should be the case. Meanwhile, LSU’s Jayden Daniels drew rave reviews from the personnel community in Bob McGinn’s draft series. Scouts would actually take Daniels over 58 percent of the quarterbacks drafted No. 1 overall s…

Greetings from Fattey Beer in Hamburg, NY. What a fun time. Thank you to everyone who made it out for our 2024 pre-draft hangout. We’ll definitely do this again very soon. So great to see familiar faces and say hello to new faces. Here on the podcast, WGR 550’s Jeremy White and The Buffalo News’ Jay Skurski both cut away to discuss the state of the…

A dozen smart football people can watch a full game of Drake Maye and draw a dozen different conclusions. We share different opinions here on the Go Long Show and thought it’d be smart to devote a full episode to this year’s enigma at the position — in addition to all of the best QB fits in Round 1. Should Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll do everything …

There’s a very good chance Joey Mulinaro has organically worked his way into your life online. He’s one of the rare humans making social media a fun place. Maybe it was his Modern Seinfeld sketch on “The Big Game” or “The Accidental Like.” Maybe you caught one of his impressions — Saban & Belichick, Cris Collinsworth, Mel Kiper Jr., Mike McDaniel, …

Eliot Wolf is the captain now. The son of Hall of Famer Ron Wolf has final say on draft day. He’s finally in charge of an NFL team. So, how will the New England Patriots boss proceed at No. 3 overall? This was a fun conversation. Go Long welcomes on Phil Perry, the excellent reporter at NBC Sports Boston, to chat all things Patriots’ direction, Dra…

The calculated gamble in Orchard Park, NY is that this is addition by subtraction. Stefon Diggs wanted out, and the Buffalo Bills were much obliged. There are many layers to the Bills’ decision to trade their star wide receiver to the Houston Texans, a clear Super Bowl contender. In addition to last week’s column, here’s a podcast discussion. I’m j…

Rule changes like this may seem innocent, but they add up. They crawl inside the psyche of defensive players to structurally change the sport. Yes, banning the “hip-drop tackle” is another absurd overreach by the NFL. Players have every right to lose their minds right now. Here on the Go Long Show, with co-host and longtime scout Jim Monos, we disc…

The offseason is a time for hope — for players, for teams. Everyone envisions a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. That was Chase Edmonds’ state of mind exactly two years ago. Something special was brewing in Miami with new head coach Mike McDaniel, quaterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receiver Tyreek Hill and Edmonds was positioned as the explosive…

The dust has settled. Big-money deals are completed. Butterbean knocked us all out via nonstop transactions. Who “won” free agency? Who “lost?” On this episode of the Go Long Show, we try to look past the mega-million headlines for answers. The Houston Texans are officially on the cusp. Kirk Cousins shakes up the NFC. And while the Pittsburgh Steel…

Gerald “Smoke” Dixon brings the goods this episode. There is a 100-percent chance we bring him back on the Go Long Show soon. From 2014 to 2020, Dixon was a pro scout for the Buffalo Bills. As a result, he has many stories — and a ton of insight — to share. Especially at the quarterback position. For nearly two hours, Dixon dishes on everything: * …

Free agency is one week away. Deals will be struck soon. The Atlanta Falcons may start the party, too. GM Terry Fontenot made it very clear they’ll be aggressive — the time to find a quarterback is now. For a full state of the franchise, I chatted with good pal Justin Felder from Fox 5 Atlanta this podcast episode. Felder offers his thoughts on the…

The 2024 season is officially underway with the NFL Combine. General managers and coaches and scouts and agents all convened in Indianapolis to negotiate contracts and study college prospects. As always, the quarterbacks take center stage. This year, nearly a third of the NFL has to make a decision at the most important position in sports. Everythi…

One of the league’s perennially tormented franchises sees a glimmer of light. The Chicago Bears own the No. 1 overall pick and can build around any collegiate quarterback their collective hearts desire. USC’s Caleb Williams is widely considered the gem of this 2024 NFL Draft. But as always in the Windy City, this is… complicated. To make sense of t…

The Chicago Bears have been in this position before. Many times. Another franchise-defining decision awaits at quarterback. With the NFL Combine set to begin next week — coaches, execs and scouts all descending upon Indianapolis — we forecast all QB movement. Will the Bears move Justin Fields to make way for USC’s Caleb Williams? If so, where does …

As the country shifts into full-fledged Draft Mode, the name “Chase Griffin” may not ring a bell. You won’t see the UCLA quarterback’s name appear in mock drafts. Griffin still has one year of eligibility and the former Gatorade Player of the Year in Texas hasn’t seen the field a ton. However, his impact off the field has been substantial. The two-…

Remember the days of Super Bowl blowouts? Me neither. Nine of the last 10 Super Bowls have been competitive games into the fourth quarter and that’s a win for all. Kansas City’s 25-22 overtime victory over San Francisco wasn’t always pretty but it’ll be remembered right there with many of the best. Patrick Mahomes asserted himself as an all-timer a…

The Super Bowl is now two days away. As the nation gathers around their television sets, there will be many football coaches and scouts who watch Brock Purdy slingshot completions and wonder, “What did I miss?” But not Dave Boller. To get the inside story on Purdy’s rise, the “Go Long Show” welcomes on the longtime football scout who most certainly…
