  2. "Football," with Chuck Klosterman

    "Football," with Chuck Klosterman

    You love football. I love football. We all love football. Even those select few who do not (I’m talking to you, Gina) cannot deny the sport is central to American life itself. How did we get here? Why is football so primal, so ingrained into the culture? Where is all this heading? I cannot recommend “Football” by Chuck Klosterman enough. The sensational essayist took on this phenomenon as only he can. His masterpiece will make you laugh, cry and — above all — stare deep into your football soul like never before. Here’s the Amazon link for Hardcover, Kindle and Audible options. (He narrates the audiobook himself.) Always a joy to chat with authors on the pod. This was fun. Here’s an hour-plus with Klosterman on the intoxicating appeal of football, why football’s demise may be an inevitability and everything in-between. “Football” is neither a love letter to the sport, nor an extremist doomsday account. Rather, it’s deeply thought-provoking, personal, brilliant. Agree or disagree with his analysis, you won’t be able to put it down. Video and audio of our chat is above. This episode is also available on our Apple and Spotify channels. Past chats with authors: * Michael Silver on “The Why is Everything” * Ian O’Connor on “Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers” * Seth Wickersham on “American Kings” * Gary Myers on “Once a Giant” * Gary Myers on “Brady vs. Belichick: The Dynasty Debate” * Erik Kramer on “The Ultimate Comeback” Be sure to join our live free agency show with Real Football co-host Jim Monos Monday, starting a tick before noon (EST) inside the Substack app. This weekend, I wrote on the Buffalo Bills’ trade for DJ Moore.

  3. T.J. Lang, uncut

    T.J. Lang, uncut

    Fifteen years ago, I met a young Green Bay Packers offensive guard on the far side of the locker room. Almost immediately, we started discussing his wild Green Bay nights and his deep, personal transformation. A couple years later, he opened up on the death of his father. Mining for unfiltered honesty inside a modern NFL locker room isn’t easy. Some players treat interactions with reporters as an obligation in their contract. They’re on autopilot. Then, there’s T.J. Lang. Unapologetic authenticity — on and off the field — endeared Lang to fans his full decade in the NFL. Through eight years with the Packers and two with the Lions, everyone knew precisely what they’d get… right down to a forearm shiver to the chin if you messed with his quarterback. Here on the podcast, Lang spends nearly two hours reliving all highs, all lows from his life in trenches. These days, he’s on the Lions radio broadcast. Of course, he also considers himself a Packer at heart. Video and audio is available here. Prefer words? Here’s the full transcript as well: Topics include: * Moment of truth in 2011. He could’ve partied his way right out of the NFL. * Hockey mentality. Lang grew up on the Detroit Red Wings and viewed himself as a Darren McCarty-like enforcer on Sundays. * Yes, Lang sees the glaring lack of such a specimen on the current Packers, too. That play at Denver bothered him, too. * Up close, Lang sees how NIL and the transfer portal is drastically changing the pool of players entering the NFL. Not for the better. * Are you an O-Line junkie? You’ll absolutely want to hear how Lang, Josh Sitton and the Packers’ front five screwed with opposing linebackers before the snap. * All playoff heartbreak. He tries not to think about the 2014 NFC Championship, but there’s no escape. This chat, Lang relives the most surreal game of his football life in painstaking detail. No, teammates were not pleased with Brandon Bostick. Time helps. * Those two weeks ahead of Green Bay’s 2011 loss to the New York Giants, Lang lost his father to lung cancer and OC Joe Philbin lost his son. Tragedy that rocked this roster more than anyone knows. * The time Green Bay got into Atlanta for the 2016 NFC title game around midnight the night before and Lang gave a pregame speech that, sadly, did not work. * What makes Green Bay, Wisconsin such a special place. * Lang went to Eastern Michigan. Maxx Crosby went to Eastern Michigan. Where does he see the Las Vegas Raider star heading? * Can Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy really coexist? Lang knows both very, very well. His answer may surprise you. Go Long is fueled by you. We appreciate your loyalty. New here? It’s a perfect time to join on the cusp of free agency and the draft. This is a public episode.

    Real Football: Buffalo Bills must take a Super Bowl swing

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.golongtd.com Brandon Beane stays. Sean McDermott is out. Joe Brady is in. Everyone at One Bills Drive fully understands the expectation in 2025: a Super Bowl appearance. Brady has hired an impressive first staff — now it’s time for the Bills to be bold, to make a critical move (or two, or three) that deliver a championship. Beane has said he’s aggressive and willing …

    Pod: Steelers' sad Aaron Rodgers dance, Malik Willis Watch, QB middle class with Mike Tanier

    What a potpourri of a podcast we have for you this morning. The hilariously insightful Mike Tanier of Mike Tanier's Too Deep Zone is back on the Go Long Podcast. Together, we make sense of this offseason’s scarce quarterback market. Malik Willis is the crème de la crème of available quarterbacks — how good is he? (I’ll also examine in a column soon for subscribers.) Yet again, the Pittsburgh Steelers are groveling to Aaron Rodgers. It makes zero sense. Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy do not need to do this. And while it’s true that many teams are striving for that Sam Darnold-like middle class — one of many lessons to learn from Super Bowl LX — who’s worth $30 million per year? Finding the Next Darnold is a challenge. We also discuss the Steelers’ humiliating NFLPA report card… and those five toilets in the facility. Five! Things naturally go off the rails from there. Tanier records live from Indianapolis where the NFL Combine isn’t what most think. Thank you for listening and sharing, friends. Go Long subscribers, as always, can access everything we have to offer through what promises to be an eventful offseason. Also: Be sure to subscribe to Mike’s Substack for more humor and freshly cooked takes. Miss any of our February Mailbag? Here are all three parts: * Part I: Maxx Crosby Watch, Brandon Beane, Bills WR Plan, Jets reek, trades, Will Campbell’s future * Part II: Matt LaFleur debate, “Indiana” Bears, kickers, NFL straying from its base? * Part III: Which teams nailed their HC hire?

    Pod: What's next for the Washington Commanders? A chat with Ben Standig...

    Life hits you fast in pro football. Last winter, Dan Quinn had a 14-5 team one win from the Super Bowl. Assistant coaches, one by one, praised him as the best culture-builder they’ve ever met. Jayden Daniels was the offensive rookie of the year. The Washington Commanders were here to stay. Then, everything went haywire. Daniels suffered multiple injuries. One fumble in the rain proved costly vs. Chicago. More injures struck the roster. Old players looked old. The Commanders stumbled to 5-12 and fired both of their coordinators. On the podcast, let’s sift through the rumble and look ahead to 2026 with a man who covers this team inside and out on Substack: Ben Standig of Last Man Standig . Last year went south. Fast. But the good news? Washington has the fifth-most projected cap space ($73.6 million) in the NFL and Daniels could always blow-torch defenses again. Video and audio is above. You can also check out this episode on our Apple, Spotify and YouTube channels. Be sure to give Ben a follow. As you’ll learn on the pod, he brings incredibly sharp insight to a fascinating team. Go Long is your forever home for longform. We’ve got you covered through the entire offseason. We’ll post Part I of the February Mailbag later today. This is a public episode.

    Pod: Super Bowl LX Recap!

    SAN FRANCISCO — Defense rules again. Mike Macdonald and the Seattle Seahawks suffocated the New England Patriots from the jump. Gaining yards — period — was quite the adventure for Drake Maye, Josh McDaniels and an overwhelmed Patriots offensive line. (Sound familiar?) After Seattle’s 29-13 win in Super Bowl LX, I wrote this column on Sam Darnold. His stoicism is an inspiration for all. And give it up to this relentless Seahawks defense. Once again, teams across the NFL will try to find their own bodies to dominate the line of scrimmage. This was a thorough beatdown. Here’s a quick solo podcast recapping the game before heading to my redeye flight east. Miss any of our features and pods from Super Bowl Week? Links are below. And thank you for subscribing and supporting all season long. Go Long is thriving because of you. There is no offseason here. We’ll be examining everything behind that NFL curtain over the next seven months. * Sam Darnold, Super Bowl LX and the power of stoicism * ‘Tough son of a b***h:’ The Lessons of Sam Darnold * Rare Hawks: Why Ty Okada & Jake Bobo embody the Seattle Seahawks * Predictions! * Pod: SI’s Conor Orr on Super Bowl LX & Ahman Green on the Green Bay Packers * Q&A: Seahawks QB coach Andrew Janocko on the ‘resiliency’ of Sam Darnold * Real Football: Seattle Seahawks-New England Patriots Super Bowl LX Preview! * Carlton Davis: ‘I feel like it’s going to be another surprise win’ * Southern Comfort: Patriots’ gator-huntin’ rookie Will Campbell is 1 of 1 * ‘It’s incredible:’ Super Bowl LX’s roots are in Ron Wolf’s Green Bay Packers * Pod: Stevie Johnson has a PSA for Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman! * Best Super Bowl storyline? Terrell Williams is cancer-free, back on the Patriots sideline * 1 on 1: Seahawks GM John Schneider on Packers roots, Sam Darnold, building a winner (again) This is a public episode.

    Pod: SI's Conor Orr on Super Bowl LX & Ahman Green on the Green Bay Packers

    SAN FRANCISCO — Good morning! Welcome to Super Bowl LX. We’ll bring you all the action live from Levi’s Stadium inside the app. To get you primed, here’s a pair of conversations on the podcast. First up, I’m joined by my good pal Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated. He wrote one of the best stories you’ll read this week on Mike Vrabel and the Patriots coach’s obsession with C4 energy drink. We offer our final thoughts on everything Patriots-Seahawks and tell tales from San Francisco. The Shure mic drops halfway through, but Conor’s excellent takes endure! Bear with us. On the back half of this episode, I catch up with the Green Bay Packers’ all-time leading rusher on Radio Row in San Francisco: Ahman Green. Green fills us in on everything going on in his life these days. He’s in the midst of a cleanse. Then, we dive right into the Packers’ brutal playoff loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Green has many sharp critiques. Matt LaFleur and his crew will need to do some soul searching this offseason. I also get his thoughts on the Packers’ workhorse back today. Green is naturally a big fan of Josh Jacobs. Thanks for reading, listening and sharing.
