Ty & Bob Pod S5 E5: State of the Packers with Tom Silverstein
There’s been some good, some bad and a touch of ugly. But here are the Green Bay Packers, at 3-2, with hope renewed off a 31-7 clubbing of the Chicago Bears. With co-host Bob McGinn on vacation, Tom Silverstein joins me this week. Thirty-eight years on the beat strong, “Spoon” continues to…

Peter King, ‘The Game’ and a life at the eye of the pro football storm
All of us, in some form or fashion, grew up on Peter King. His coverage has been synonymous with pro football itself. Now, he’s got a new book hitting the shelves: “The Game” is available for purchase everywhere you get hardcover, Kindle or audiobooks. Peter became the standard for taking fans...

Sicko mode, engaged: On Josh Allen’s fight, Tyler Bass, James Cook & a stammering Bills D in 37-34 OT thriller
Pour a fifth cup of coffee, all. This hair-raiser was worth the midnight adrenaline rush. Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford are the two most recent MVP winners. So I suppose there was never any doubt they’d eventually swap TD for TD for TD in a Monday Night Football classic. Buffalo prevailed in...

Real Football: Jalen Hurts flops, Josh Allen YOLOs, Packers’ reckoning & requiem for Terry Fontenot’s Falcons build
NFL Jalen Hurts is College Tim Tebow in the best and worst ways. (Allow Jim Monos to explain.) Josh Allen’s late-game interception was a colossal fail, a rookie mistake… but no. Joe Brady should not send him to the chalkboard to write “I Will Not Throw Into Double Coverage” 100 times. As the…

Ty & Bob Pod S5 E4: It’s Packers-Bears Week
They meet again. A year ago, the Chicago Bears stunned the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field. (Packers sources explain what happened here.) Since then? Ben Johnson continues to build a machine of a rushing attack and win with both No. 2 (Tyson Bagent) and No. 3 (Case Keenum) quarterbacks. Matt...
-
How Andrew Brandt makes all of us “Smarter About Sports”
His stories are endless. Andrew Brandt has lived it all in pro sports. As a sports agent. As a Green Bay Packers executive. As a member of sports media. Even as the GM of the Barcelona Dragons. We all know so much more about how the NFL works because of his voice, his ability to articulate...

Real Football: 2024 Quarterback Class, revisited
Six teams placed six high-stakes bets on April 25, 2024. It’s now Year 3 for all six quarterbacks. With Drake Maye’s mind-boggling struggles, injuries to Caleb Williams/Jayden Daniels, more Bo Nix fourth-quarter magic, the J.J. McCarthy trade and Michael Penix’s return from another ACL, I thought...

The full two-hour, five-minute episode is available to Go Long paid subscribers above. If you prefer to listen on Apple or Overcast, bang it here to sync your subscription. Instructions on syncing on Spotify are also here. Case Keenum defied the odds on Monday Night Football, shredding the...

Bills-Chargers: Zero apologies necessary for Joe Brady and co.
Offensively, it was ugly. Five turnovers could’ve doomed the Buffalo Bills. But defensively? This is the sort of victory Joe Brady loves to see this time of year. Some teams fold when everything starts going wrong. (Hello, Matt LaFleur.) Other teams treat the football like a hot potato and still...
-
The Jermichael Finley Conversation
One moment, Jermichael Finley is dreaming of championships and a gold jacket. The Green Bay Packers tight end truly believed he was turning a corner. The next? He’s motionless. He’s told he may never walk again and starts imagining a life of eating through a straw. Football can be cruel. His life...
-
Ty & Bob Pod S5 E2: What makes this Minnesota Vikings defense so damn ruthless?
This Vikings-Bears game at Soldier Field was everything everyone should love about football — hard hitting, inclement weather, every inch was earned. Here on the Ty & Bob Pod, we dissect it all. Two games in, the Minnesota Vikings should be feeling damn good about themselves, too. Brian Flores…
more -
Bills-Lions Aftermath: Josh Allen ‘n Joe Brady are a wagon on offense, so... what about that D?
What a night it was at Highmark. The Buffalo Bills authored a storybook inaugural game against the Detroit Lions with, of course, Josh Allen taking centerstage. Here’s my column from the 41-31 win. This “lunatic” of a quarterback with a smelling salt hanging from his mouth is playing more free…

Ty & Bob Pod S5 E1: Inside the Packers-Vikings meltdown
We’re back. Welcome to another season of the “Ty & Bob Pod.” Each week, I’ll be joined by Bob McGinn to discuss the NFC North. To those who remember McGinn’s weekly Rating the Packers column at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the format is familiar. He studies the film of the NFCN teams —…

Real Football: Is Patrick Mahomes BACK?!
I believe it’s illegal in at least 27 states to publicly doubt Patrick Mahomes. He has earned that right. He was a central the-one-that-got-away figure in our first story ever at Go Long. There’s a strong case to make that Mahomes is the best quarterback ever this side of Tom Brady. The Kansas…

He played for two teams with Super Bowl aspirations this 2026 NFL Season — Houston and Detroit. Glover Quin’s rise from the boondocks of Mississippi to NFL All-Pro is instructive for players, too. This week on the Go Long Pod, I catch up with one of the best safeties in recent memory. Quin spent...

New head coach, new vibes, a title for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?
After 18 years of John Harbaugh, it was time. The Jesse Minter Era is here for the Baltimore Ravens. We drove down to Maryland to sit down with “Big John” Simpson — that feature is here, icymi. Is this the season Lamar Jackson finally gets to a Super Bowl? To get more answers, let’s welcome on a...

Secret to winning a title? Jordan Poyer & Christopher August reveal...
Jordan Poyer was in a very dark place. Jordan Poyer got to the other side. Last season, the longtime Buffalo Bills safety opened up on it all. Alcohol addiction. Pain pills. A teammate nearly dying on the field. Countless injuries. Playoff heartbreak. All of it took a debilitating toll on Poyer....

Let's get inside the mind of Joe Burrow
This is the year Joe Burrow stays healthy and his defense isn’t steaming-hot junk. It’s got to be. Finally. Right? Right!?! Hotdiggity did Burrow’s somber press conference on his 29th birthday harken back to Andrew Luck’s abrupt retirement. He looked and sounded defeated. Now, Joe Cool is...

Chad Brown on the art of winning

Real Football: Brian Westbrook on defying the odds, McNabb-TO, Hurts-AJB & timeless Philadelphia Eagles memories

Stedman Bailey, after the bullets
On Nov. 24, 2015, Stedman Bailey’s life changed forever. He was shot in the head twice. His skull shattered. Blood gushed. The grisly play by play remains forever fresh in his mind. “Like a war zone,” Bailey told me once. “Call of Duty, but you’re really there.” Miraculously, the NFL wide…

Real Football: Chris Johnson, ALS and reconciling the dark side of football
Heartbreaking news stopped all of us in our tracks this week. Chris Johnson — the breathtaking Tennessee Titans running back — revealed on “Good Morning America” that he has ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He was diagnosed in 2025 at the age of 39. The disease is progressing rapidly....
-
Real Football: Time is now for Jordan Love to take flight
Football is funny. If Jayden Reed catches that deep crosser on the Green Bay Packers’ final drive vs. Chicago or if Christian Watson goes up with two hands at the goal line to catch a magnificent throw from his quarterback, the conversation around Jordan Love, Matt LaFleur and the 2026 Packers is...

Inside the Philadelphia Eagles pandemonium with Zach Berman
This fan base, like many, was dying for a Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles slayed Tom Brady and the Patriots in 2017, then Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in 2024. Yet, grace periods last about as long as the taste from a stick of Juicy Fruit gum ‘round here. You didn’t need to turn the volume…

Chris Manhertz is a tight end immortal
Forget playing in a game. Chris Manhertz defied the odds by stepping into an NFL building to compete for a spot on a 90-man roster. He was a collegiate basketball at Canisius who didn’t know anything about football. Now, he enters Year 12. The tight end is still a wanted man. He’s got high hopes...
-
Real Football: Quarterback debauchery
The quarterback position is not always royalty. For every Josh Allen talking Super Bowl, there are so many others lost in the wilderness. OTAs and minicamp expose those broken compasses, too. We’ve got a fresh new episode of “Real Football” live for subscribers. I ding record from the excellent...

Kyler Murray and renewed hope in Minnesota
Hello from blistering Eagan, Minnesota. You know the drill. Every time we visit these Minnesota Vikings, I’ve got to sit down with fellow Substacker Matthew Coller of Purple Insider. Coller takes the lead on our latest pod conversation above. Kevin O’Connell may be conducting a “quarterback...

Real Football: Josh Allen 2.0, Rams as NFL villains, NBA fun & Joe "dime a dozen" Montana
There’s no high-drama quite like pro football and every high drama needs a villain. That’s why Game of Thrones devolved into steaming garbage the final season. It was not ruthless enough. After a sloppy, injury-plagued 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs aren’t quite as loathed at the moment. Could the...

Live from the Big Tree! An OTA look into Joe Brady's new world...
Josh Allen’s arm remains Henry Rowengartner strong. DJ Moore’s route running has been silky smooth in this setting. All of those new defensive pieces are starting to piece together in Jim Leonhard’s defense. OTAs have commenced across the country with minicamps ‘round the bend and training camps...
-
Real Football: Could this whole Aaron Rodgers-Mike McCarthy thing work? A hearty debate...
Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy are together again. What a difference seven years make, eh? The Pittsburgh Steelers refuse to rebuild, so they’ll roll with a fading great who turns 43 years old this season. McCarthy evolved in Dallas, escaped the Jerry World rot and will try to squeeze a little...

Why the Miami Dolphins slammed the reset button
New GM. New head coach. New quarterback. Oh, the Miami Dolphins are also eating nearly $200 million in dead money. This is an organization long overdue for such a complete reset. Jon-Eric Sullivan, Jeff Hafley and Malik Willis all travel from frigid Wisconsin to South Florida in an attempt to…

The Jaxson Dart Plan: State of the New York Giants with Ed Valentine...
Offseason hope tends to get choked out by regular-season realities for the New York Giants. Yet with John Harbaugh, there are tangible reasons for optimism. I chatted with some people inside the building for this recent piece. It sure sounds like Harbaugh and GM Joe Schoen are in lockstep — don’t...

Will the Green Bay Packers be better or worse in 2026? A chat with Mike Tanier...

Real Football: Sean McVay's tears, Ty Simpson, GM'ing in 2026 & analysis on the Buffalo Bills picks
Sean McVay is happy. Just ask him. Don’t worry about it. See his smile? See? See?! Ah, I always love when a bit of raw honesty makes its way to the podium after a draft pick. Everyone who saw the Los Angeles Rams head coach after the team selected Ty Simpson 13th overall pick could tell he was…
