  • Dart

    I could not disagree with your take on Jaxson Dart. First and foremost it wasn’t a political rally! It was a commencement speak at a NY college. DJT is the sitting president of the US. It should not be a political stance to introduce the sitting president at a commencement ceremony. Carter and unfortunately you, are making this political. If anyone is at fault it’s Carter.

  • Fix your editing!

    Edit: came back a month later to drop the rating down. There is always an editing mistake in this podcast. Double playing ads, skipping pieces of audio, replaying segments. Please fix it. Editing is just done without care

    It feels like every other show there is an editing/mixing mistake. You come back from commercial and the show repeats with the previous segment. This has happened in multiple episodes. I love the show, but I might have to unsubscribe. As an example of the problem, This week we... more

  • Incomplete review vs what was advertised

    What no AFC North review on 5/11 episode? This duo always seems to be in a big hurry. Slow down get the content out. A couple extra minutes would be fine.

I love the show, but I might have to unsubscribe.

Frequently Asked Questions About The GM Shuffle

What is The GM Shuffle about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two former NFL front-office executives bring insider perspective to NFL game previews, league news, and betting angles. Episodes mix strategic roster discussions, coach-QB dynamics, and division-by-division analyses with a clear emphasis on front-office philosophy, player development, and sponsor-integrated betting context. A standout feature is the dual-host dynamic: one with front-office pedigree and one with player-side insight, which often yields candid contrasts in evaluation and decision-making. The show is likely to appeal to NFL enthusiasts who want actionable, insider-style analysis and betting context, as well as industry listeners interested in how leadership and roster-building shape outcomes.
