Go Long Podcast

In Part II of our Super Bowl podcast discussion, we examine the other team in this classic: Philly. Jalen Hurts was spectacular. The defense was not. And there's one fourth down Nick Sirianni probably wants back. Roads typically lead back to Buffalo on the podcast. What can Buffalo learn from this Super Bowl, and where do they start business this offseason? Become a VIP subscriber at Go Long today...

With the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, it's only right to spend an episode reminiscing about Jim Monos' early days as an NFL scout in Philly. Jim looks back to his Brian Westbrook scouting trip and what it was like to work with current GM Howie Roseman. They both had their own cubicles at Eagles HQ, and Roseman showed an interest in the bigger picture back then. Also, Sean Payton is back....
