Did some digging inside Dolphins HQ. Some vets brought their cell phones right to walkthrough and thumbed away. Rookies emulated them. By Week 6 in '24, players racked up $200K worth of fines. Captains wore a "C" but sure didn't act like leaders. More: www.golongtd.com/p/jordyn-bro...

“A man walked up on him, shot him in the face while he was sitting in his truck. Point blank. Killed him.” When Jordyn Brooks was in college, he received word that his brother was murdered. News that kept his eyes on the north star. www.golongtd.com/p/jordyn-bro...

“We become a team? The sky’s the limit. We can do anything we want to do. I don’t care if we have no superstars.” Jordyn Brooks knows what life was like for the #Dolphins. This is a team that needed to eat $179M into the bonfire to create something new. Story: www.golongtd.com/p/jordyn-bro...

Pittsburgh Steelers, where art thou? Chad Brown, thee of "Blitzburgh" fame, was disgusted by what he saw last season on D. www.golongtd.com/p/chad-brown...

Tom Brady is acting like a man “desperate for money” & “desperate for attention.” Chad Brown played with the future HOF'er. He didn't hold back. Full pod: www.golongtd.com/p/chad-brown...

Diabolical stuff from Shannon Sharpe. In the middle of a game, the future Hall of Famer once threatened to BURN DOWN Chad Brown’s reptile shop. -> www.golongtd.com/p/chad-brown...

No team lined up with three tight ends more than the Los Angles Rams last season: 126 pass attempts and 204 rush attempts for 2,036 total yards and 32 touchdowns. Most of us assume defenses are bound to catch up. But what if they don’t? Here's Chad Brown. www.golongtd.com/p/chad-brown...

Classic Jaxson Dart sparring with my pal @matthewfairburn.bsky.social. -> www.golongtd.com/p/our-2026-q...

He sat three years. He's now started three years. Time for Jordan Love to make his move into superstardom. Our QB Draft is live: www.golongtd.com/p/our-2026-q...

“For him to finally get this opportunity to be full time? That shit’s scary. It’s scary for the league because bro is an athlete. He’s got an arm. He can run. ... "This is what we've been talking about for a long time." -- Aaron Brewer on Malik Willis. More: www.golongtd.com/p/dregs-to-d...

Many pro football players are religious, but Aaron Brewer quite literally practices what is preached. Each week -- all season -- he fasts 24 to 36 hours straight. Here's why. www.golongtd.com/p/dregs-to-d...

Expect a different Joe Brady offense now that Joe Brady is fully in charge. Full ep: www.golongtd.com/p/happy-hour...

Tomorrow AM! The great Brian Westbrook was fantastic on the Eagles of old, the Eagles of today, his rise and everything in-between. -> GoLongTD.com

When Stedman Bailey was shot in the head, the doctor told him he’d likely be a vegetable. Instead, he mounted an NFL comeback attempt. Pod: www.golongtd.com/p/stedman-ba... Words: www.golongtd.com/p/i-choose-t...

NFL's hypocrisy was, again, on full display this week. www.golongtd.com/p/real-footb...

Driving back from Allen Park, it struck me that Josh Allen and Dan Campbell are basically at the same inflection points of their football lives. So many parallels. Neither should change. www.golongtd.com/p/hell-no-jo...

“I’ve shown it. I run through a motherfucker’s face. I run around a motherfucker and I run past a motherfucker. You could see me out there on offense. You may see me on special teams or you might see me on the sideline chair. That’s just what it is.” www.golongtd.com/p/ray-davis-...

Ray Davis wants the ball. (He's got a point, too.) I caught up with a #Bills running back dying to show the world what he can do. “Each and every day I just come to work and pray that I get an opportunity to showcase who I am." Story: www.golongtd.com/p/ray-davis-...

“We’re going to win one. And he’s finally going to be able to bring a ring and a Lombardi to this city — and it’ll be multiple Lombardis before he’s done.” Dawson Knox looks into the future. www.golongtd.com/p/josh-allen...

“My speed? There isn’t anybody who has the speed I do. I have gas. ... Where do I fit in? I can play inside. I can play outside. And that’s something that people will see.” Meet Calvin Austin III, the receiver who can redefine the Giants. -> www.golongtd.com/p/calvin-aus...

Much consternation this week on TV deals and the future of football after John Skipper’s PTFO spot. I always come back to Chuck Klosterman’s “Football” epic. Bad moons are rising.

Why did the Bills trade *up* for a cornerback? We discuss! New ep of Real Football: www.golongtd.com/p/real-footb...

Coaches interviewing for the #Bills’ HC vacancy told the team what it was like to face McDermott’s scheme. It was stagnant, predictable. Since then, Brandon Beane & Joe Brady have tried to change that. Pod: www.golongtd.com/p/real-footb... Column: www.golongtd.com/p/defense-ag...

Too often, the Bills deployed an elementary defense in the postseason. (Just ask opposing coaches.) New players help. A totally different vision on defense matters most. More: www.golongtd.com/p/defense-ag...

Our Day 3 live chat is here. We'll continue it through the conclusion of the draft. Come hither with all takes — scalding, lukewarm, anything in-between. → open.substack.com/chat/posts/9...

One wish on NFL Draft Eve? Give (Jeremiyah) Love a chance. golongtd.com/p/give-jeremiyah-love-a-chance

New pod with @csimmsqb.bsky.social is live. Many draft topics discussed, Mendoza to "psychos" to his sleeper of the class. Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/24n7... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n... GL: www.golongtd.com/p/nfl-draft-... Clip:

Javon Bullard is everything Ron Wolf saw in his crystal ball upon taking over the moribund #Packers in '91. Truly love football? This is the city for you. Year 2 was his breakthrough. “Me not giving a fuck. I’m going to do shit how ‘Bull’ sees it.” www.golongtd.com/p/javon-bull...

Most underrated quarterback in the NFL? That may be Brock Purdy. Loved chatting with Matt Hasselbeck again. www.golongtd.com/p/what-wins-...

Here's an intriguing flier in the middle rounds: Emmett Johnson. “Kind of almost the way Red Grange used to run, like a bucking bronco." "His parents are from Liberia and all they know how to do is work, and that’s what he does. Work.” www.golongtd.com/p/part-6-rb-...
