  • Great! Ads aren’t great!

    Love listening to Kevin break things down in a humorous and insightful manner. But woof, the ads are rough. Some episodes feel like more advertising content than actual football talk.

  • Proof of Concept

What's Wrong With The Chiefs? With Kyle Long
Q: What kind of personality does it take to come in there and actually change that culture in a way it seems like Ben Johnson is doing?
You have to be authentic; players, coaches, and staff can sense insincerity.
Stafford and McVay are geniuses with Kyren Williams
Q: Can you give me an example of the time where you can see play sequencing unfurling itself in real time?
Kyren shared a moment from the Houston game where they cleverly disguised a play to fool the defense, showcasing McVay's strategic play-calling.
