Today we speak with the mayor of Go Long: Tyler Dunne. As a tenured longform American football journalist and broadcaster, Tyler sheds light on his family life balance, his stops with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Buffalo News, a viral article in 2019 when he was with Bleacher Report and his highly endorsed, yet unsung book about tight ends, The Blood and Guts.

Tyler gets into a little bit of his family life with the wife and children and his upbringing in Western New York.

Tyler hits on his desire to be a writer at a young age including drafting his own editions of an in-house publication called the Packer Weekly which he sold to his parents for $1 as a 4th and 5th grader. A couple years later, Tyler interviewed touted sports editor, Chuck Pollock (Olean Times Herald) which led to an internship under Chuck, immediately writing about the NBA and eventually going to Syracuse where Tyler learned the importance of reporting.

Tyler reflects on his time with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, working with Bob McGinn, Lori Nickel and Tom Silverstein and how a couple interviews with Forrest Gregg and Bart Starr grew his interest in creating longform content.

Tyler covers his first true beat reporting assignment eith the Green Bay Packers, right after their Super Bowl win in 2011 with Aaron Rodgers and how he was immediately "hunting down" Brett Favre for an in-depth interview which he was able to do in 2014, the same year Favre and the Packers reconciled.
25:59
Tyler touches on the similarities betwen the Buffalo Bills and the Green Bay Packers fanbases and franchises, his zealous piece, What Happened in Green Bay, which goes into the "riff" between Rodgers and Packers brass and also a 3-parter when the Bills were playing .500 football under Sean McDermott, and why both articles got major readership and backlash all the while.
31:53
Tyler gives his take on the classic offseason 'hope' of an NFL team.
39:11
Tyler lends his thoughts on how franchises try to win now yet plan for the future.
