Good afternoon, readers! The goal is to take you beyond the press conference as much as possible.
Sometimes, that means brokering a meeting over cheese curds.
On our most recent trip to Wisconsin, Go Long brought LeRoy Butler and Evan Williams together for a first (football) date. It was an incredible night. At The Lodge — not too far from Lambeau Field — the Pro Football Hall of Fame safety and the Packers rookie talked ball for a solid two hours. Be sure to read our full story here, icymi.
Had some time here before the Week 12 games kicked off — thanks to Mrs. Go Long, as always — so figured I’d splice up some audio for those who’d like to listen to these two banter and dive into the X’s and O’s.
Go Long is nearing its four-year anniversary.
Thank you for making us your completely independent home for longform journalism.
