2025/08/21

He’s the only quarterback from the 2024 class who didn’t see the field as a rookie.Finally, the wait is over.J.J. McCarthy is the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, and this is fairly unprecedented terrain. The Michigan product takes over a 14-win team with clear Super Bowl aspirations. GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell spent big bucks on both lines this past offseason after seeing their team get pushed around by Detroit and the L.A. Rams to finish last season.

And just like that, Brandon Beane has locked in his core: Khalil Shakir, Christian Benford, Greg Rousseau, Terrel Bernard and, now, James Cook all inked contract extensions this offseason. Tip of the hat to Terry Pegula for spending this kind of money. The Buffalo Bills know the Super Bowl window is open and wanted to secure their own. Cook’s contract stalemate got testy at the end, but it was always smart for these two sides to meet in the middle. It sends a strong message in the locker room,

Joe Burrow is 100 percent correct: the Super Bowl window is always open as long as he is the starting quarterback. Now, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are secured long term. A new defensive coordinator should help young talent grow on that side of the ball. We’ve explored the team’s brilliant offensive mind on staff, too. Dan Pitcher is a wizard and should be an NFL head coach in 2026.So, why do things still feel… off? The business has a way of spilling over to the football field in Cincinnati. The

They’re bound to meet again. Bills. Chiefs. Four out of the last five postseasons, they’ve collided. And each winter, of course, Patrick Mahomes has the right stuff. This offseason — more than any other — GM Brandon Beane overhauled the defense. As training camps across the NFL close in, let’s welcome back a recurring guest: Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News. The worst thing anyone can do is doubt The Dad Bod. Mahomes is already an all-timer. But there are signs that maybe… possibly… finally… the

For 30 years, the Dallas Cowboys were a shining city on a hill. Titles galore. Landy to Jimmy.The next 30 years? Well, there’s technically been shine. This is the richest sports franchise in the world. But this is also the only team in the NFC that hasn’t reached the conference title game. We’ve examined the organizational rot, Jerry’s World and most recently welcomed ex-Cowboys wideout Brice Butler onto the Go Long Pod for his sharp insight (podcast and words).Now, let’s bring on an expert who’s

It’s no coincidence the Dallas Cowboys are now the only team that hasn’t reached the NFC Championship Game since 1995. We’ve tried to make sense of this wacky team before. Those inside the front office detailed the cycle of organizational rot most recently right here. Also, here’s a big-picture view of Jerry’s World from 2021.

Mentally, he was ready to move on. The NFL appeared ready to move on from him. And then his agent, Blake Baratz, called: “Hey man, you want to go win a ring with Philly?” Blasingame carved out a niche on the Philadelphia Eagles and experienced Super Bowl glory inside the

The New York Giants needed to get the quarterback position right this offseason.And yet, this wasn’t exactly the year to be quarterback hunting. Options were limited.Now that the dust has settled, can GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll sell a vision to ownership? I caught up with one of the franchise’s all-timers — running back Tiki Barber — on the Go Long Pod this week to learn more.

James Cook likes his money. He made that much clear with his actions and words at mandatory minicamp Tuesday.It sounds like he’ll be good to go for training camp, too. And yet, the Buffalo Bills’ starting back would like to get paid. Obviously. Will GM Brandon Beane — who explained his reasoning in our 1 on 1 — be inclined to strike a deal with Cook’s camp?

Through a full decade of pro football — 1990 to 1999 — Leroy Hoard specialized in zapping the will to fight from defenders. His goal? Make you quit by the fourth quarter. The sight of No. 33 in Cleveland and No. 44 in Minnesota barreling through defenses helped define this glory era of the sport itself. Hoard ran with power, speed, attitude. And oh my, he has stories to share. The former NFL running back hangs out on the Go Long Pod to relive it all. During a Pro Bowl season in 1994, Hoard led the

2025/05/30

We don’t necessarily need to shape-shift into flies on the wall. Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers surely had an excellent meeting earlier this offseason in Pittsburgh, Pa.There’s a very good chance that both head coach and quarterback view this looming partnership as a chance to stick it to the doubters and reclaim control of their narratives.Tomlin hasn’t won a playoff game since the 2016 season, albeit with teams that never finish with a losing record. Rodgers hasn’t been a good quarterback in four

But the man never lacked bravado. This quarterback was fueled by true belief.Here on the Go Long Pod, I chatted with the Washington Redskins great at length about his truly unique rise from South River, N.J. to Heisman Trophy runner-up, College Football Hall of Famer, 1982 Super Bowl Champion and 1983 NFL MVP.

2025/04/25

At No. 30 overall, the Buffalo Bills selected Kentucky cornerback Max Hairston.His services are most certainly required. This is a defense in need of a corner capable of sticking with receivers step for step in the playoffs. Nobody ran faster than Hairston at the NFL Combine, and scouts describe him as mentally tough — “a cocky little guy” who’s “electric as far as change of direction, movement, speed.” The 5-foot-11, 183-pounder had 89 tackles, six interceptions, three pick-sixes and 10 passes
