Go Long

Nobody cares about 40s and the bench press. No, we miss the Combine for other reasons. The NFL World descends upon Indianapolis every year and everything truly goes down at the bars and restaurants. So, with no Combine this year, we have stories to share - from one coach trashing his own players after a playoff loss to control a narrative to Jon Gruden hanging out at Hooters to trades that go one way or another. We also take a close look at all of the quarterback movement about to go down in the NFL. Few folks know Andy Reid preferred, one, Cade McNown over Donovan McNabb once upon a time. That story, and more, from Hamburg Brewery in Western New York.

Over at GoLongTD.com, we took a close look at mental health in the NFL. Be sure to head on over and subscribe if you'd like. I figured we'd share our chat with Ryan Leaf right here on the podcast as well. It was an emotional one. Leaf sharply criticizes the NFL in the wake of Vincent Jackson's death, shares his own experiences and explains how he is trying to help retirees today.

Somehow, Eric Wood was able to keep a smile on his face through all of the losses and all of the turmoil his decade as the Buffalo Bills' starting center. How? He explains. And Wood does not disappoint with many, many tales from the locker room and the field fans have not heard before. You'll laugh and, probably, you'll cry a little as well. Buffalo wasn't just close to drafting Patrick Mahomes, no. As Wood reveals, they were damn close to drafting Russell Wilson. Some in the building actually were certain that Wilson would be the QB. But Wood's toughness and perseverance, in many ways, embodies the city itself. Today, he has crossed over to the dark side of media. Nothing's off limits in this week's episode.

We knew this was going to be a wild NFL offseason. It has not disappointed already.
Carson Wentz gets his wish in heading to Indianapolis where the fit is absolutely perfect. Jim explains why he loved Wentz so much coming out of college (and wanted to make a run at him running the Bills), and believes the Colts can now win with him at QB.
Deshaun Watson is smack dab in the middle of an absolute dumpster fire in Houston. Will he escape? (We think the Texans will come 'round.)
And Allen Robinson told ALL to Go Long, in print, explaining how things went south in Chicago. We dissect that conversation and why and how the Bears botched this relationship so, so badly.

This episode, the guys are joined by Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic for a deep, deep dive into all things Buffalo Bills. What a season it was for the AFC East champs... but now some difficult decisions loom. What exactly do the Bills need to do to become Super Bowl champs? This very well could be the most important offseason in franchise history, from navigating Josh Allen's contract extension, to finding a pass rusher who scares coordinators to, who knows, maybe hearing from Stefon Diggs or Cole Beasley on a new deal. 
It was a fascinating conversation. Plus, we debate who's more important: Sean McDermott or Brian Daboll?
At the top of the pod, we do our best to remember the incomparable Terez Paylor as well.  We could all live a little bit more like Terez.
Thank you to our partners Hamburg Brewery. Check out their new beer, Hoptimonium, this Friday. It's incredible.

So, did anyone see that coming? What an obliteration. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are Super Bowl champions after a 31-9 dismantlement of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Dunne & Monos Podcast gets into it all... 
How did Tampa Bay physically punish KC start to finish? This game was so, so good for the sport's soul. And, for whatever reason, Andy Reid never really adjusted.
Tom Brady did more Tom Brady things. He changed the culture in Tampa in more ways than one. Nobody's on his level historically.
Also, what a poor performance for Jim Nantz and Tony Romo, from corny jokes to barely even touching on what should've been a much, much big story for all networks up to this game: Britt Reid.

You've heard all about how the Buffalo Bills missed on Patrick Mahomes on this podcast. But how did the Chiefs know he'd be special? We check in with the reporter who knows that team better than any other: Yahoo Sports' Terez Paylor. He shares a fascinating perspective on that 2017 draft with a close look at the inner-workings of that Chiefs' front office that included John Dorsey, Brett Veach and Chris Ballard. 
The Chiefs had conviction on Mahomes, took action and now they're in the Super Bowl. Again.
Also, we rank the best quarterbacks ever. Always a hearty debate.

What's up, everyone? Expect plenty of Go Long podcasts this Super Bowl Week.
First up, is an incredibly insightful conversation with Buccaneers.com's Carmen Vitali who joins us for the full hour. As Vitali explains, Tampa Bay sees a clear path to the upset, too. Between a ferocious pass rush, old-school corners and, well, quarterback Tom Brady, the Bucs are heading into Super Bowl LV confident as hell. This episode hits on all things Bucs, from how they try to slow down the surreal Patrick Mahomes to Carlton Davis' second crack at Tyreek Hill to the great Devin White to all of the assistant coaches on staff ready to make the jump (Monos interviewed one himself before). 
Also, what is Sean McVay thinking with that trade? We dissect, debate.

The great Donte Whitner joins the fellas to break down the AFC and NFC Championship games as only he can. Whitner, a two-time Pro Bowler, is one of the sharpest analysts going today and does not pull any punches on what he's seen in these NFL Playoffs. He also shares some legendary untold stories from his playing days, from Buffalo to his ruthless 49ers' defense (one that eliminated Jim's Saints in 2011) to  playing for Jim Harbaugh to playing with, gulp, Johnny Manziel. 
You won't want to miss this one.

All season long, the Bills played fearless. With the season on the line, in Kansas City, Sean McDermott certainly did not coach that way. Doug Whaley joins Dunne & Monos to break down what in the hell happened at Arrowhead. There's quite a gap, still, between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. And McDermott's decision to kick three field goals on fourth and shorts proved to be a losing mentality vs. his mentor Andy Reid. What's next for Buffalo? Finding a way to get past KC. The guys break down the present and the future in Buffalo.
Plus, Aaron Rodgers, who's always uber-calculated with his words, dropped quite a bombshell out of another NFC title game defeat. What does it mean? We discuss.
And, of course, there's plenty of Mahomes and Brady and Super Bowl talk. (With a dash of Gisele.)
Enjoy.
