This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.golongtd.comIt's easy to pinpoint the moment everyone in the huddle knew Brett Favre was a different breed. He was in college. He played a football game against Alabama one month after having 36 inches of his intestines removed. The result of a car crash that easily could've ended his life. Seeing this — up close — quite obviously empowered all teammates beyond their imagination. Somehow, Southern Miss shocked No. 13-ranked Crimson Tide.This became the story of Favre's football life, Start No. 1 to No. 321. Packers players have said repeatedly they'd run through a wall for their quarterback. On Episode 2 of “FAVRE” — exclusive to subscribers — the three-time MVP continues to open up like he never has before. As stated, the goal of Go Long is to always deliver football in its rawest form. The good, the bad, the ugly. You'll always get unfiltered, unvarnished coverage here, and nothing is ever off-limits with this show. There's never been a Favre before, never will be again and he'll open up on everything to bring you as close as possible to real football.Each episode, we'll connect the past with the present with endless untold stories.As young quarterbacks across the league try to make their own leap — and win over locker rooms — Brett Favre isn't afraid to open up wounds from his own life. On and off the field.You won't want to miss Episode 2. Audio is above. Video is below.A few topics discussed: * Favre should have vanished into oblivion early in his career. He opens up on his extreme alcohol usage, the byproduct of an addictive personality. Having just one beer was an impossibility. Favre admits he'd drink until he completely passed out. Somehow, he'd party ‘til 4, wake up at 7:30 and train just as hard as he drank. He easily could've been Johnny Manziel. Two specific turning points — Green Bay nearly benching him in ‘94, going to rehab for his painkiller addiction in ‘96 — got his life back on track. He quit drinking in 1998, too. * His year in Atlanta — 1991 — was wild. Favre hit it off with Deion Sanders. He got into four or five bar fights, too. * Favre sees himself in Josh Allen, and offers a solution. There's a needle the Buffalo Bills can thread to get the most out of their own gunslinger.* Yes, we get into Aaron Rodgers and the Achilles injury heard ‘round the world. Would Favre try to come back from this injury? What does he expect out of Rodgers? His perspective on this seismic storyline is obviously unique. He remembers The End well and would love to share his wisdom… if only Rodgers would return his calls. * You've probably heard many of Larry Bird's epic trash-talking stories from the ‘80s. Favre has many of his own, and shares one classic from ‘99. There's a reason he gave Lions' Robert Bailey a throat-slash gesture. * The blow-by-blow account of his college car wreck is certifiably nuts. How he managed to upset Alabama after having those 36 inches of intestines removed and losing 35 pounds is even crazier, and explains how he was able to galvanize an entire locker room.* What does Favre think about Jordan Love two games in? He's been watching closely and sees teammates rallying around their new QB. They want to fight for Love. Beyond the numbers — to him — this is a phenomenal sign. As always, VIP subscribers can hop onto the Zoom call after our 1-on-1 to ask anything they'd like.

Warren Sapp made headlines when he told Rich Eisen that he wanted to be a part of Deion Sanders' coaching staff in Colorado — or at least that's the way social media told the story. Pro Football Hall of Famer and Super Bowl champ Warren Sapp joins “Fearless” to set the record straight about his future in coaching. Plus, the QB Killa adds another signal caller to the body count when Sapp unleashes his thoughts on Chicago's Justin Fields.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre joins “Fearless” every Wednesday this NFL season. The Packers legend shares his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers' unfortunate injury and why he believes we haven't seen the last of Rodgers in the league. Jason and Brett discuss the unfair advantage that Patrick Mahomes has in Kansas City and who among the group of young stars like Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, and Jalen Hurts could step up to challenge Mahomes as the league's top QB. In the past Favre has drawn comparisons between himself and the Bills' Josh Allen, but is that a good thing or does Allen take some unnecessary risks in today's NFL? Jason and Brett also discuss Tua Tagovailoa's spectacular start to the season and Jordan Love's big win as Green Bay's signal caller. And in Tennessee Harmony, Anthony Walker and Virgil Walker join the show to discuss Ibram X. Kendi's take on “savior theology” being racist and the role of Christians in society.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand watched Aaron Rodgers get hurt on his first series as a Jets QB, a likely Achilles injury that could keep him out for a long time, and couldn't help but think of the emotional letdown after the offseason drama. Imagine, for example, if Brett Favre had been injured in his first series as QB for the Vikings in 2009? 8:00: Andrew Krammer joins Rand for a film review of what went wrong for the Vikings on Sunday. The interior of the offensive line is still a question mark in any given game, and while the defense was improved in some areas Tampa Bay made some key adjustments. 31:00: Vikings poetry is back, baby. 44:00: Pablo Lopez or Sonny Gray in Game 1 of a playoff series?

Does Deion Sanders believe in Deion Sanders? He's certainly not acting like a believer – in himself, the Colorado Buffaloes, or the God he proclaims when he occasionally takes a break from self-promotion. Coach Prime and Colorado's upset of #17 TCU should have been the feel-good story of college football's opening weekend, but then Deion started talking. “Deion's lack of humility and loyalty and out-of-control hypocrisy are annoying. Deion says he's coaching for the kids but mostly talks about himself. ... I've tried my best to support Deion. I can't do it anymore.” Jason and “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim debate Deion's debut, whether this “experiment” will work, and whether Coach Prime and his distractions are good for college football.

How concerned is the liberal establishment about Donald Trump's newfound popularity among black Americans? Cue Al Sharpton and the revisionist historical society. In 1989, in the midst of a record murder rate in New York City, five teens were convicted and sent to prison for the violent assault and rape of a jogger in Central Park. As a lifelong New Yorker, concerned citizen, and respected businessman, Donald Trump purchased ad space in NYC newspapers calling for action in battling crime in the city and suitable punishment for those convicted of murder. In an effort to throttle the momentum Trump's campaign is building among black voters, rappers, and influencers, the good reverend is pointing to Trump's word from 34 years ago as proof to all black people that the former president is, in fact, a racist, all because DNA would later have those five teens' convictions vacated.

On this BEST OF ESPRESSO episode Benny and Joey talk babies, how annoying TV people are and BRETT FAVRE
The middle school assistant principal who attempted to bully 12-year-old Jaiden Rodriguez over his backpack Gadsden flag suffers post-traumatic history dysphoria, a mental illness common among feminists and racial-justice warriors. PTHD causes its female victims to believe anything that transpired in American history before the rise of the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements is misogynistic and racist. When young Jaiden and his mother educated the educator on the true history of the flag, they also offered a lesson in why men need to stop apologizing for the past. “The demonization of the past is a grift. It legitimizes reparations. And it provokes alleged educators to believe any symbol originated before last week was a byproduct of slavery and systemic racism.” Jason unpacks his thoughts in a must-see Firestarter. Most of the talk of Buffalo's off-season has surrounded the alleged discontentment of Bills star receiver Stefon Diggs. Fueled by Stephen A. Smith's comments about the wideout wanting out of upstate New York, many, including Jason, assumed it was just NFL diva-wide-receiver drama. But now, it seems the root of the beef in Buffalo actually begins and ends with quarterback Josh Allen. Jason offers Diggs a mea culpa and welcomes Steve Kim to the conservation. Plus, the pair discuss Deion Sanders disavowing his ties to Florida State and honoring his HBCU degree, Dan Le Batard's warning to Skip Bayless over the future of “Undisputed," and how Nebraska volleyball made history while revealing the uncomfortable truth about women's college athletics.

“The blacklash of martyring Donald Trump is a real thing.” The arrest of President Donald Trump may have done more in one day to free black Americans from the stigma of abandoning the Democratic Party than Republicans have managed to accomplish in the last 100 years. The former president's mug shot from a Fulton County jail has given black men the space to abandon the cosplay of painting Trump as the second coming of Adolf Hitler. The trumped-up persecution of America's 45th president has turned Trump into the avatar for rebellion. Jason hosted an all-star cast of “Fearless” contributors to discuss whether black voters will finally drop the Democrat Party and their identity politics to rally around Trump in 2024. Shemeka Michelle, Maj Toure, Delano Squires, and Royce White weigh in with their thoughts on “Blacks for Trump.” In Tennessee Harmony, Anthony Walker and Virgil Walker join Jason to discuss the presidential candidacy of Vivek Ramaswamy and what Christians should consider when trying to reconcile their faith with considering voting for a political leader of a different belief system.

It's been quite the week for Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. From sparring with Chris Christie over Barack Obama at the Fox News GOP primary debate, to a cease-and-desist order from Eminem, to an endorsement from O.J. Simpson.

Lance Alworth was an all-time top-performing wide receiver in the AFL and NFL.
Jordan Love is feeling the love from Packers fans in Green Bay and everywhere, which leads Wilde and Tausch to ask why fans are so supportive of Love in this quarterback transition compared to when Aaron Rodgers took over for Brett Favre in 2008?
Jesse returns after working from home during yesterday's show but showing up for a farewell party at the office, which Tausch was amazed actually happened. Then, what do the guys make of Jordan Love commenting on the amount of positive support he's received from Packers fans in Green Bay and around the world as he takes over as QB1? Why is it so different this time around compared to when Aaron Rodgers took over for Brett Favre in 2008?
What happens when a biology teacher transforms into an NFL official? On today's episode, we're joined by none other than Craig Wrolstad, who has been making significant calls in the NFL since 2003.

The wise Bruce Brown also is highlighted in this episode, given the impact that he had on Craig and me.This episode is a must-listen for dads, sports enthusiasts, and anyone seeking an inspiring life story.Lattitude Sitka Our sea adventures cover fishing, wildlife tours, beach excursions, scuba diving, snorkeling, paddleDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Denise has been maxed out on James, people and well, everything lately. So when Lisa--and Eastern Wisconsin--rang the phone, Denise answered the call.

It's a joyous week in Wisconsin, where Janet Protasiewicz's swearing-in means that the state Supreme Court now has its first liberal majority in 15 years. We're talking about that monumental transition on this week's episode of “The Downballot,” including a brand-new suit that voting rights advocates filed on Protasiewicz's first full day on the job that asks the court to strike down the GOP's legislative maps as illegal partisan gerrymanders.Co-hosts David Nir and David Beard also discuss why reports that a Democratic congresswoman might not seek reelection to her swingy House seat might actually be good news; the absolutely bonkers candidate Republicans just nominated in a pivotal New Hampshire special election; how North Dakota conservatives are trying to pave the way for congressional term limits by passing age limits; why Brett Favre is at the center of Democratic attacks against Mississippi's Republican governor; and why a new poll of Ohio's Issue 1 differs so dramatically from some other recent data.Transcript to come.
Peter King enters his 40th year of covering the NFL by sharing tales from his distinguished career. He recalls giving a car ride to rookie Boomer Esiason, being questioned by Bill Parcells as a young reporter, and watching an old movie at the home of Brett Favre. Peter tells us about being around Lawrence Taylor daily and what made L.T. special. Hear how Mike Holmgren granted King unlimited access to the Packers for a week. And Peter talks about owning up to mistakes like the one he made while reporting on Deflategate, how he has balanced working relationships with sources, and much more. King is a prolific NFL analyst for NBC Sports, which he joined in 2018 after 29 years of covering professional football for Sports Illustrated. He has been named national sportswriter of the year three times (2010, '12, and '13) in a vote of his peers by the National Sports Media Association. Peter has been a member of the Board of Selectors for the Pro Football Hall of Fame since 1992 and he became a Hall of Famer himself in 2009 when the Pro Football Writers of America named him recipient of the Dick McCann Memorial Award. Peter writes a Monday morning NFL column each week for NBCSports.com, makes weekly appearances on “Pro Football Talk Live” with Mike Florio, and, as he has since the station's Sunday night studio show debuted in 2006, contributes to “Football Night in America.” He also appears on “The NFL on NBC” YouTube Channel and hosts “The Peter King Podcast.” In addition to his pro football responsibilities, King reports on NBC Sports' high-profile events, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The nearly three decades King spent at Sports Illustrated were highlighted by the widely popular “Monday Morning Quarterback” column that he wrote from 1997 through 2018. The column morphed into “The MMQ,” a pro football microsite for which he also served as editor-in-chief, overseeing a staff of reporters during his final five years at SI. Besides appearances as an NFL insider on NBC, King has worked on television for the HBO show “Inside the NFL” as a managing editor and reporter, was a halftime correspondent on ABC's “Monday Night Football,” and served as an NFL reporter for CNN. After an internship at the Associated Press, King's career began in 1980 with a five-year stint at the Cincinnati Enquirer, mostly as a general assignment reporter before taking on the Bengals' beat in 1984. A year later, he moved to Newsday, where he covered the New York Giants until leaving to join Sports Illustrated in '89. King earned a bachelor of science degree from Ohio University's E. W. Scripps School of journalism in 1979. He was born in Springfield, Mass., and grew up in Enfield, Conn. Follow him on Twitter: @peter_king Learn more about your ad choices.

Arguably no former NFL exec does a better job articulating how the sausage is made quite like Andrew Brandt.
