Ahman Green has a new battle to fight
Football’s back, y’all. A beautiful thing.On the podcast, I catch up with the Green Bay Packers’ all-time leading rusher: Ahman Green. The episode’s off ‘n running with Green detailing life post-NFL. He’s doing everything in his power to maintain a healthy lifestyle — and for good reason. Green opens up on a new opponent that could prove more daunting than anything he experienced on the field: Parkinson’s. But he’s not scared.Of course, we also look back to his fondest Packers memories. Green had six 1,000-yard rushing seasons in Green Bay. In 2003, he eclipsed 2K scrimmage yards. What made this possible? Readers of our Dolphins piece last Friday will notice a theme. He points, first, to those relationships with his offensive line.Green didn’t mince words on Matt LaFleur and his former team when we chatted on radio row at the Super Bowl. Now that the offseason has passed, what does he think of the Packers’ prospects in 2026? There’s one player he particularly loves to watch. Video and audio is above.

Chad Brown on the art of winning
A few days ago, I received a text from Chad Brown. He read our column on the wide receiver matrix and had thoughts on the topic from his playing days. After going back ‘n forth for a while, we decided to hit record on a podcast. Love welcoming back one of the most underrated players of the late 1990s/early 2000s.Brown is always insightful and introspective.On this episode, we get into plenty:* Tom Brady’s mid-life crisis. This is getting weird and sad. * Wide Receiver drama. There were no such divas back on his Steelers teams, but how would Brown navigate this matrix as a GM today? * John Schneider’s mastery. He wrote the Seahawks GM a letter. * His love for snakes. Brown didn’t sprint the other direction when a python sank its teeth into his arm. Be sure to catch Shannon Sharpe’s legendary trash talk. He knew Brown loved reptiles and didn’t hold back one Seattle-Denver game. * Seahawks’ repeat efforts. What impressed Brown most about last year’s run?* State of the Steelers. What is Omar Khan’s long-term plan?* Why he loves the L.A. Rams’ title odds. He sees those multi-TE sets ruling again.Video and audio of this week’s chat is above. Also be sure to hit subscribe, comment rate and review over on our channels over at Apple, Spotify and YouTube. Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler, played 15 seasons in all with 1,091 career tackles, 79 sacks, 19 forced fumbles, 15 fumble recoveries and six interceptions. He was a key piece on the epic “Blitzburgh” defenses of the 90s, starred for the Seahawks and capped his career off with the 2007 Patriots team that nearly went undefeated. Today, he’s one of the sharpest analysts going. You can catch him on ESPN Radio and calling college/pro games on the Compass Media Network. His X handle is @chadbrown94. We’ve previously chatted with Brown for this story on the history/aura of the Pittsburgh Steelers Linebacker. And then again, for a (very) deep conversation on the state of football in 2023 — words and pod.Thanks, all!ICYMI:* Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the hunt for heart * Our 2026 Quarterback Draft* Dregs to Domination: The Aaron Brewer Blueprint* The Wide Receiver Matrix* Real Football: Brian Westbrook on defying the odds, McNabb-TO, Hurts-AJB & timeless Philadelphia Eagles memories This is a public episode.

Happy Hour Replay: Eric Wood knows how the Buffalo Bills (finally) win a Super Bowl
His NFL life can now be told in two acts.Eric Wood was the starting center the Buffalo Bills’ starting center for nine years. He helped end the 17-year playoff drought his final season.Eric Wood has also now covered the team as a radio color commentator/podcaster/analyst the same amount of time. He’s the host of Centered On Buffalo and calls games on the radio broadcast. This week’s Happy Hour podcast consists of a little bit of everything. Wood looks back to Drought memories and looks ahead to how these 2026 Bills get over the Super Bowl hump with new head coach Joe Brady. A ton of insight on all fronts.As noted, we’re bringing back virtual Happy Hours this 2026 NFL season to give you the opportunity to ask players (and media members) anything you’d like. Is there someone you want to hang out with this year? Let me know at golongtd@substack.com.Video and audio of our conversation with Wood is above. New here? Upgrade to join all live Happy Hours.Topics this episode include… * Life with Rex Ryan. There was so much hope and hype. Why did things turn south?* Aaron Kromer. He wishes they had more time together. * Rex’s defense was all about chaos and confusion. The sort of stuff Bills DC Jim Leonhard desires a decade later. Thing is, players hated Rex’s scheme in 2015 anf 2016. We explore the key differences between then and now, and how the Bills get the 3-4 right this time around. * Alec Anderson. He’s the new guy starting full time on the line. Is he ready? * The NFL went heavy in 2025 — the Bills, like the LA Rams, enjoyed 3-TE sets — but what is the next counterpunch for the NFL’s best offenses? More spread? * WR screens drove locals batty. Wood offers thoughts on this play. Big picture, Wood points out something we did back when Brady was hired. The playcaller was often following orders in crafting conservative, keepaway gameplans vs. elite QBs. We’ll see what changes now.* Joe Brady’s “they have to play us” mentality. The new coach detailed in full to Go Long. * Was Wood shocked by Sean McDermott’s firing? * As a young player, Wood suffered a compound fracture of his tibia and fibula. The injury set a tone for his entire career. * What was Terrell Owens like as a teammate? They played together Wood’s rookie season.* Why you’ve always got to be careful who you pay — he witnessed the effect with Marcell Dareus. Motivation matters.* My “Real Football” co-host Jim Monos often points out that offensive line play is overrated. Let’s get Wood’s take. Thanks, all. Keep an eye out for our first season preview feature this coming Friday. In the meantime, here are a few recent links to pieces if you missed anything.

Real Football: Brian Westbrook on defying the odds, McNabb-TO, Hurts-AJB & timeless Philadelphia Eagles memories
History repeats itself. Issues between a quarterback and a wide receiver in Philadelphia are nothing new. Once upon a time, Terrell Owens was protesting in the form of driveway pushups. And the stuff Brian Westbrook was doing at running back? At his peak? Now, all teams seek this breed of playmaker.This hour and a half was a fun ride. On “Real Football” this week, we’re joined by an Eagles great. He wasn’t big. He wasn’t 40-yard-dash fast. None it mattered, as Westbrook served as the engine and spirit of an Eagles offense perpetually in contention. He finished his career with more than 10,000 total yards and 71 touchdowns and came so, so close to hoisting a trophy of his own. Come for the story of Westbrook’s rise — Villanova obscurity to his epic 2003 punt return vs. the Giants to changing the position. Stay for the stories of Donovan McNabb and T.O. refusing to speak to each other at lunch and the parallels Westbrook sees in Eagles drama today. He has pointed thoughts on Jalen Hurts and the current group into 2026. Westbrook also explains why McNabb is one of the most under-appreciated athletes of his era, what made Jeremiah Trotter and Derrick Burgess so damn mean and way back when he was breaking into the pros, my co-host Jim Monos participated in the running back’s Eagles workout as a young scout. Andy Reid had a vision.Westbrook brought that vision to life. Now, he’s got endless tales to share. Video and audio are accessible above. The 2026 NFL season is closing in. Our season previews will be rolling out soon. Go Long paid subscribers can access all team deep dives, all player profiles and all podcasts all season long. New here?

Happy Hour Replay: Isaiah McKenzie, uncensored
Happy July Fourth to all! Hope everyone enjoys a day full of country music, fireworks and a Busch Light or two. Hey, is there a former player you’ve always wanted to meet? A question you’re dying to ask yourself?Let me know and we’ll do everything we can to get that player on a virtual Happy Hour this 2026 season.The mission here — always — is to bring you as close to the sport as we possibly can. So, paid subscribers can fully expect a steady stream of Zoom hangouts this season. Thrilled to bring ‘em back as this also gives us all a chance to get to know each other and build our community.First up this season? Isaiah McKenzie. We did a show together through the ‘21 and ‘22 seasons and, man, the former Buffalo Bills receiver always delivered.Now that he’s out, you bet McKenzie has a lot to say.Topics on this Happy Hour Replay include… * Life today. He’s a Dad. He’s figuring it out one day at a time. * How “Love Island” makes Baby No. 2 a possibility. * His thoughts on new Highmark Stadium. * Hell no, he doesn’t believe in bringing a wedding gift. (Sorry, Devin Singletary.)* Remember when McKenzie was suspended by the Indianapolis Colts under mysterious circumstances? No, it did not involve a bald eagle. He explains what happened.* Joe Brady. The two did cross paths when Brady was the QBs coach in Buffalo and McKenzie remains plugged into everything at One Bills Drive. He’s extremely high on the hire. * McKenzie was a big Sean McDermott fan — and explains why. The two still stay in touch.* McKenzie also understands why the Bills needed to fire McDermott — and explains why. He points to his experience with the Georgia Bulldogs as an example. For some teams, there’s a special something, a magic element, missing. (The “process” was needed. The “process” worked. But he also wishes the coach would’ve said “F the process” at a few specific moments.)* And you will definitely need to stick around to the end. McKenzie opens up on his darker days post-NFL. When he suffered an injury with the Giants and his football career evaporated — with a baby on the way — my former co-host admits he slipped into a very dark, depressed state.

Stedman Bailey, after the bullets
On Nov. 24, 2015, Stedman Bailey’s life changed forever.He was shot in the head twice. His skull shattered. Blood gushed. The grisly play by play remains forever fresh in his mind.“Like a war zone,” Bailey told me once. “Call of Duty, but you’re really there.”Miraculously, the NFL wide receiver survived. In 2018, I spent a few days with Bailey out in California for a story and he opened up on everything. At the time, he was hoping to make an NFL comeback. “I have a divine purpose to be here,” Bailey said back then. “You don’t just survive those shots and walk around normal. I feel like we as people all have specific plans on Earth.” Years later, his purpose is becoming clear. Bailey is a father of three, trains wide receivers and is determined to help anyone who experienced the same trauma as himself — including Florida State football player Ethan Pritchard. He can relate to everything Pritchard’s going through right now.Bailey has even chosen to live right back in South Florida. He’s driven past the scene of the crime.No, he never did find out who tried to kill them that night, though he’s sure people in the neighborhood know. Watching NFL games, he also cannot help but play endless games of “what if.” At West Virginia, he was a Big 12 star. With the St. Louis Rams, his future was bright. Then, poof. Gone. As he explains here on the Go Long Podcast, life is all about perspective.His life changed forever that night in Miami Gardens… but at least he’s got a life. Each morning, he can smile.Video and audio of our conversation is above. Keep an eye out for the transcription soon, too. As always, Go Long is powered by you. Thank you for supporting independent journalism.It’s been a reunion week of sorts. Miss my conversation with Jamal Lewis? Here’s that Q&A transcript. After suffering from crippling suicidal thoughts, he’s back. This is a public episode.

Real Football: Chris Johnson, ALS and reconciling the dark side of football
Heartbreaking news stopped all of us in our tracks this week. Chris Johnson — the breathtaking Tennessee Titans running back — revealed on “Good Morning America” that he has ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He was diagnosed in 2025 at the age of 39. The disease is progressing rapidly. Johnson communicated during the ABC interview via an eye-tracking, speech-generating device. The entire interview is worth your time.It’s devastating. It’s courageous. Johnson vows to fight the disease and raise as much awareness as he possibly can. At one point during the conversation, Johnson notes that he could tell something was wrong when he had weakness in his right hand and didn’t feel as strong. His wife, Brittany, thought he might be dealing with the effects of a 10-year NFL career. She thought initially that it might’ve been a pinched nerve. During the segment, Michael Strahan cites this as a case of “sporadic ALS,” adding that 90 percent of ALS cases are random. The former pro Strahan did not broach the connection between the disease and the sport at all during the interview, but it’s also true that the risk of NFL players getting ALS are nearly four times as high as the general populace. Here’s that study of 19,423 players from the National Library of Medicine.On this episode of Real Football, we try to make sense of this all. Honesty, as always, sure would be the best policy for a league that has historically done everything in its power to distract from the connection between the sport and brain trauma. My co-host Jim Monos also dusts off memories of scouting Johnson out of East Carolina when he was with the Saints. Monos even threw Johnson passes at his pro day.Johnson was a special talent. In Year 1, he led the Titans to a 13-3 record. In Year 2, he amassed 2,509 scrimmage yards — still an NFL record. His electric speed was unmatched. Later on the pod, we discuss whether individual talents can still single-handedly take over games with defenses so hellbent on eliminating big plays. We also discuss Jayden Daniels’ next move with the Washington Commanders and Monos gets a few more shots in on Jerry Rice, amongst other topics. Appreciate all for watching, listening and sharing.
