  1. Substack Live: Inside the Cincinnati Bengals' blurred lines of business and football, with Paul Dehner Jr.

    Substack Live: Inside the Cincinnati Bengals' blurred lines of business and football, with Paul Dehner Jr.

    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 organization is butting heads with its top draft pick (Shemar Stewart) and the NFL’s reigning sack king (Trey Hendrickson) still wants a new deal. At 30, he knows the time is now to cash in. To dissect it all, we place a Substack Live call to our friend Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic and The Growler Podcast. He’s the best of the best on this beat. In fact, our chat with Paul back in March was one of our most-watched episodes of the year. A lot has happened since then. This team has more issues to sort through, but there’s a path toward success… even on defense. Video and audio is accessible above. (H/T to Matthew Coller for the new guitar riff in the intro this season!) Be sure to download the Substack app and flip those notifications ON to join all future live videos. Love fielding any questions you may have. Miss our first 2025 NFL Season Preview feature?

    GL Pod: Is THIS the year the Buffalo Bills finally slay the Kansas City Chiefs? A chat with Jay Skurski.

    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 Bills are able to take down their tormenter. On paper, this renovated defense should give Sean McDermott options aplenty. We analyze in full. Also on the GL Pod, we discuss the subject of our most recent feature story: Dalton Kincaid. Do not be surprised if Kincaid is a top 5 tight end in Year 3. He took his work to a different level right at One Bills Drive. Either way, Josh Allen needs a go-to guy in the playoffs. Finally, we wrap up with AFC East talk. Who’s the top challenger — Miami or New England? Be sure to follow Jay on social and read all of his excellent work at The Buffalo News. You can access video and audio of this episode above, as well as on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, everywhere you pod. Be sure to rate, review, comment, engage however you’d like. Most of all, I greatly appreciate everyone who has upgraded to a paid subscription to read our story on Kincaid. He was remarkably candid on that fourth and 5 play and everything that came next.

    GL Pod: Brice Butler unlocks the door to Jerry's World and these maddening Dallas Cowboys

    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. On the Go Long Pod, I catch up with one former player who’s unafraid to take you through those spooky hallways at The Star. Warning: It’s not pretty. Wide receiver Brice Butler spent four of his pro seasons in Dallas. He’s seen the good times up close. His 2016 team could’ve won it all. He’s seen exactly why Jerry Jones’ team always falls short, too. Video and audio of our conversation is above. You can also access the Go Long Pod on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, wherever you pod. Here’s the transcript: A handful of topics discussed… * The joys of fatherhood. * Why Butler got emotional thinking back to his NFL exit. It’s never easy to say goodbye. * Football is cutthroat. Most all businesses outside of those white lines are not. This tends to get Butler (and many others) into trouble. And yet? Imagine our society if feelings took a backseat to productivity. * Reliving the moment Dak Prescott took over for Tony Romo and became the face of the Dallas Cowboys. (Butler was in the huddle.) * One moment Dak’s the anonymous backup at a club who girls don’t care about at all. The next? He’s the richest man in the sport. Butler saw the transformation. * The major difference between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. * Why Butler genuinely believes that winning games is not a priority for this franchise. * Seeing Jones emasculate the head coach, Jason Garrett, right in front of the team. * Is there any hope for the Cowboys on the horizon? Butler loves Prescott but also fears it really doesn’t matter how well the QB plays. He doesn’t believe Patrick Mahomes would win a ring here. A ton of insight and a ton of laughs were had through this hour-plus. Be sure to follow Butler across the socials. He’s usually on a golf course over at X and Instagram. Feel free to share with a friend and, hey, it’s a perfect time for those on our free mailing list to upgrade. Our 2025 NFL Season Preview features will launch Friday AM. Paid subscribers can access them all. More on the Cowboys. And we explore the defending champs. This is a public episode.
