There’s no high-drama quite like pro football and every high drama needs a villain.
That’s why Game of Thrones devolved into steaming garbage the final season. It was not ruthless enough.
After a sloppy, injury-plagued 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs aren’t quite as loathed at the moment. Could the Los Angeles Rams fill that void? On this week’s episode of Real Football, we discuss the blockbuster trade heard ‘round the league: Myles Garrett to the Rams.
This roster is loaded. Good luck finding a weakness. But let’s not forget about those defending champs in Seattle.
At the top of the show, it’s all Josh Allen.
I sat down with the Buffalo Bills quarterback for our latest feature, available right here for paid subscribers. At 30, as a new Dad, he’s “extremely rejuvenated.” On the pod, we examine the landscape of this AFC. Getting to the Super Bowl is on Allen’s mind.
As usual, we bounce around to various topics. I’ve got to admit the NBA has been quite entertaining and we get to that A.J. Brown trade. The New England Patriots are loading up around Drake Maye.
But I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that there will be much feedback concerning one of my co-host’s takes. Jim Monos scouted for the Eagles, the Saints and was a personnel exec with the Bills. He harbors a strong, contrarian view on one… Joe Montana.
Appreciate everyone who has found Go Long this week in light of our Allen piece.
