Pod: Steelers' sad Aaron Rodgers dance, Malik Willis Watch, QB middle class with Mike Tanier Earth to Omar: You don't need to do this!

Pod for you this weekend, in which we ask how Lil Wayne has 10 bathrooms “to shit all day,” yet the Steelers’ entire organization gets by with five.

Quarterback Roulette with @miketanier.bsky.social:

Malik Willis should make north of $30M per year. Here's why. Mike McCarthy and the Pittsburgh Steelers must enter the bidding, too. We take a closer look at this year's top prize in free agency.

Can Malik Willis save your franchise?

It’s gonna happen …

Art Rooney II doesn’t want to pay for a sixth bathroom stall. Fine. The #Steelers should pony up for Malik Willis. Closer you look, the more that $30M+ figure makes a ton of sense.

Is this the next fairy-tale story? We examine. www.golongtd.com/p/malik-will...

Hey, that's me!

Pod: Steelers' sad Aaron Rodgers dance, Malik Willis Watch, QB middle class with Mike Tanier Earth to Omar: You don't need to do this!

Hootenanny of a pod this morn. What a a wild ride this was with the hilariously insightful @miketanier.bsky.social on the #Steelers sad Aaron Rodgers dance, Malik Willis Watch, the elusive QB middle class and, naturally, which players abuse toilets.

February Mailbag, Part III: Which teams nailed their HC hire? We wrap up our three-parter with a look at scheduling, ranking head coach hires, Ray Handley, the Browns QB situation, rule changes and more.

Here's Part III of this month's mailbag with a look at those 10 new hires. www.golongtd.com/p/february-m...

A hockey reference in our mailbag here at intermission of a gold-medal classic. One hit to Jordan Love’s head in Denver brought back some Sabres memories.

#Packers need more of one trait this offseason: heart. www.golongtd.com/p/february-m...

February Mailbag, Part II: Matt LaFleur debate, "Indiana" Bears, kickers, NFL straying from its base? Rolling along with your exceptional questions, from Kevin Warren to LaFleur/Gutekunst getting extensions to the Packers' absence of heart at key moments in '25 to an NFL riding a dangerous fine line.

Good morn, friends. Part II of our February Mailbag is LIVE. We get into everything “Indiana” Bears, the Matt LaFleur debate, #Packers need for heart, automatic kickers, the NFL riding a dangerous fine line and Polymarket.

February Mailbag, Part I: Maxx Crosby Watch, Brandon Beane, Bills WR Plan, Jets reek, trades, Will Campbell's future You've got (many) questions. Let's get to 'em all, starting with Part I.

I love the potential Maxx Crosby-Lions fit. Much trade talk in today's mailbag.

House of Dysfunction, Part III: Who's the boss? “The great ruse is ‘Hey, everything is great here in Camelot.' Well, it’s not actually Camelot." Our series wraps up with a look inside how these Bears are run. Can new HC Ben Johnson overcome it all?

So, the Indiana Bears may be a thing. We took a close look at Kevin Warren in Part III of our Bears series last September.

All parts are now open.

- Realistic trade candidates.
- Jets reek.

Pod: What's next for the Washington Commanders? A chat with Ben Standig... 2024 was a dream. 2025? A disaster. Now, the pressure's on Dan Quinn to produce in 2026. We check the organization's vitals here on the podcast with a man who's around them every day.

2024 was a dream. 2025, a disaster. But there is a path for the Washington Commanders to boomerang back into contention.

Loved chatting with @benstandig.bsky.social on the pod: www.golongtd.com/p/pod-whats-...

I cannot recommend "Football" by the great Chuck Klosterman enough.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll stare directly into your football soul.

We'll have him on the Go Long Pod soon to discuss.

What the Seattle Seahawks' rise tells the rest of the NFL A bloodbath like this warrants a deeper dive. Teams across the NFL will be chasing the champ's formula. Now that the dust has settled, here's everything we learned.

You’ve heard all about the virtues of “alignment” in WNY — for good reason. Seattle’s reorganization at the top was desperately needed. www.golongtd.com/p/what-the-s...

Next Darnold? One playoff team should take a long look at one, Malik Willis.

We examine!

Many lessons to learn from the champs: www.golongtd.com/p/what-the-s...

Sam Darnold, Super Bowl LX and the power of stoicism The Seattle Seahawks are champions. Their quarterback has a story to share — with everyone. Here's our column from Levi's Stadium.

In a world gone mad, Sam Darnold represents a different option.

On Super Bowl LX: www.golongtd.com/p/sam-darnol...

Thank YOU man.

So much to unpack. So many lessons for Drake Maye -- and all of us -- to take from Sam Darnold's eight-year climb. One note on Maye's postgame. When one reporter on-hand inexplicably thought she was talking to a Super Bowl *winner,* he barely flinched.

Seahawks defense ruled the day. We'll remember Sam Darnold most.

A decade's worth of teammates are thrilled for Sam Darnold this AM. Players LOVED this quarterback. Thinking about what Harrison Smith & Blake Cashman said. www.golongtd.com/p/tough-son-...

Best Super Bowl storyline? Terrell Williams is cancer-free, back on the Patriots sideline The New England Patriots do not need to look far for perspective in Super Bowl LX.

Their DC, Terrell Williams, is back. And cancer-free. www.golongtd.com/p/best-super...
