New York Times bestselling authors Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg turn their sharp reporting and propulsive writing to the NFL, going inside the most influential and successful teams-including the Eagles, the Ravens, and the Rams-and showing what it takes to build winning teams in the most competitive, brutal sports league in the world.The NFL is the toughest league in the world in which to build a winner-and it's not particularly close. Between the hard salary cap, constant rule changes, comprehensive revenue redistribution, and constraining player contracts, the league engineers parity with draconian efficiency. It punishes winners, elevates losers, and goes out of its way to prevent dynasties. By the laws of the NFL, this hard road to the top is a feature, not a bug.And yet, in the face of these intense obstacles, some teams have learned how to thrive, year after year. How does this happen? What separates the champions from the Sunday-afternoon chaff? Talent on the field and on the sidelines helps, but as Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg reveal the modern NFL is not won through Xs and Os alone. Instead there is a new calculus of winning in the world's most lucrative sports league. The teams that triumph exploit a range of loopholes from contract strategy to draft savvy to proprietary metrics, finding ways to extract ruthless efficiencies from a system built to strip away every advantage.Going inside the front offices and locker rooms of the most influential and forward-looking teams in today's NFL-from the Eagles to the Ravens to the Rams-Robinson and Clegg show the franchises that are using the NFL's rigid system to their own advantage, examining how they are drafting creatively, winning differently-and how the rest of league has yet to catch up. The result is a fascinating window into achieving success in the modern NFL and an unparalleled look at how the cunning it takes to win on the field starts in the most surprising of places.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
What really separates consistent winners from everyone else? On today's episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Wall Street Journal journalists Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg, authors of The Playbook: The Hidden Forces Shaping Winners and Losers in the Modern NFL. This conversation goes far beyond touchdowns, coaches, and quarterbacks. Joshua and Jonathan take us behind the scenes of some of the NFL's most fascinating organizations to reveal how winning is actually built—from the front office to the salary cap, analytics, leadership decisions, organizational culture, calculated risks, and the willingness to challenge conventional wisdom. We dive into the power and danger of groupthink, why successful organizations can't simply copy what worked yesterday, and how teams such as the Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks and others have approached the constant challenge of creating—and sustaining—success. Linda also explores one of the book's biggest lessons: sometimes great leadership isn't about forcing people to fit your system. It's about recognizing their strengths and having the courage to change the system. Whether you're an NFL fan, entrepreneur, leader, coach, or simply someone determined to create your own next level, this conversation is packed with lessons about winning, resilience, innovation, adaptability and thinking differently. In this episode, you'll discover: how NFL franchises create sustainable success; why groupthink can destroy innovation; what separates calculated risk from reckless decision-making; why culture matters as much as talent; how great leaders adapt around people's strengths; what failure can teach us about strategy; and why sometimes the best way to win is to stop following everyone else's playbook. The Playbook: The Hidden Forces Shaping Winners and Losers in the Modern NFL by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg is available now. Summary In this episode, Joshua Robinson, sports journalist and author of The Playbook, shares insights on what makes NFL organizations successful beyond the game. We explore leadership, innovation, risk-taking, and the importance of adaptability in achieving sustained success. Key Topics How NFL teams win before the game starts The importance of organizational alignment The role of innovation and risk in success Lessons from teams like the Eagles, Rams, and Ravens The danger of groupthink and copying successful teams Adapting to circumstances and real-time changes Leadership and culture in high-performance organizations Takeaways Winning is often decided long before the game begins. Organizational alignment from owner to coach is crucial. Smart teams look around corners and challenge conventional wisdom. Adaptability is more important than a fixed long-term plan. Failure can be part of the path to success if managed well.

"Sometimes you swing and a miss on a story, or you get scooped by someone, and I think there's a constant feeling of like you're only as good as your last story, as the last thing you published, and it's hard to shake that," says Joshua Robinson, co-author of The Playbook: The Hidden Forces Shaping Winners and Losers in the Modern NFL (Mariner Books).Joshua Robinson is here. Now, it was SUPPOSED to be a two-headed monster with Jonathan Clegg but SOMEBODY got pulled into an urgent news situation at the Wall Street Journal and had to conveniently skip thus putting ALL the pressure on Joshua Robinson to shoulder the burden that is a conversation with me. JR and JC are the co-authors of four books in nine years.Four books in nine years.Their latest is The Playbook: The Hidden Forces Shaping Winners and Losers in the Modern NFL. It's published by Mariner Books and edited by Matt Harper, who made The Front Runner as good as it is.Joshua heroically stepped in and did the work of two people. He's the sports editor for the Wall Street Journal and has covered Formula 1, European football, the World Cup, the Tour de France, etc. He and Jonathan are the authors of The Club, The Formula, and Messi vs. Ronaldo. The Club and The Formula are rated 4.6 on the place that shall not be named out of more than 1,800 ratings. That's amazing.In this episode, we talk about: Translating super niche sports for a reader The co-author shared Google Doc Amusing themselves The Big Pages Stage How they only write two big drafts, what? Marrying the big idea to characters Drive the bus Understanding time value of money in the NFL And how you're only as good as last storyThis episode will pair well with Episode 199 with Keith Law, and Ep. 540 with Mitch Weiss and Holbrook Mohr.Instagram: @creativenonfictionpodcastSubstack: welcometopitchclub.substack.com

Jonathan Clegg and Joshua Robinson are colleagues in The Wall Street Journal's virtual sports department. Clegg, the sports editor, is an Englishman who lives with his family in New York. Robinson is an American based in London. They share global sporting interests, particularly soccer and motorsports. The duo's reporting expertise has led to a long collaboration away from daily journalism. They're now book co-authors for the third time. The most recent effort, published on March 12, is titled "The Formula: How Rogues, Geniuses, and Speed Freaks Reengineered F1 into the World's Fastest-Growing Sport.” (Mariner Books, 304 pages, ISBN: 9780063318625; $29.99). With co-host Bruce Aldrich on vacation, I interview the two writers on this episode of The Weekly Driver Podcast. The once-faltering circuit is now thriving. With its focus for many years at global venues, except North America, the elite motorsports circuit now has three events in the United States. It debuted in Las Vegas last November in the first year of a 10-year contract, joining U.S. stops in Austin and Miami. With events also in Canada and Mexico, five of the 24 races this year are scheduled in North America. The 11-month circuit began in late February in Bahrain, and it continues through December 6 in Abu Dhabi. The 20-car circuit will travel to 21 countries on five continents. "Both of us grew up in Europe with F1 during its first real peak in the late 80s and early 90s," said Robinson. "We both saw it as it fell away; people got bored. It just didn't have the same cultural relevance for about 15 years. That really changed in the last five or six years." The resurgence was substantially assisted by "Formula 1: Drive to Survive." The documentary series on Netflix debuted in 2019 as a behind-the-scenes look at drivers and races and money. The sixth season debuted in February. "We thought the time was right to kind of explain the rise, fall and reinvention of a sport," said Robinson. Clegg and Robinson also co-authored: "The Club: How the English Premier League Became the Richest, Wildest, Most Disruptive Force in Sports,” and "Messi vs. Ronaldo: One Rivalry, Two Goals, and the Era That Remade the World's Game." "We spend a lot of time before we commit a single word to paper or a computer screen," said Clegg. "We spend a lot of time sort of thinking about the characters and episodes we want to include in the book and the narrative arc we are trying to unpack with the story we are telling.” What's detailed is compelling. The authors are veteran reporters, skilled scene-setters and writers who write succinctly about rich subject matter. The cars, teams, and staff require extreme budgets. Drivers are charismatic, fans fanatical, rivalries intense. Races are held in opulent locales among pretty and handsome faces and bling. The sport has emerged from corruption. Two additional major themes of the book: Red Bull and the energy drink's billionaire Austrian owner, Dietrich Mateschitz, and Liberty Media, the American company. It purchased F1 in 2016 in a multi-billion-dollar deal. Mateschitz infiltrated the sport quickly and retains supremacy in Formula 1 unlike any other brand in sport, according to Clegg. Liberty Media drastically changed how the sport is presented. It rebranded the logo, modernized marketing and emphasized streaming broadcasts. For years lapped by the popularity of other motorsports, the authors present F1 as the "world's fastest-growing sport." "I think we realized pretty early on that the one through line that can be traced back from the very beginning of F1 in the early 1950s right through to its current present-day success as a sort of global entertainment monster and streaming property is that this is a sport that has been defined by reinvention," said Clegg. The Weekly Driver Podcast encourages and appreciates feedback from our listeners. Please forward episode links to family,

Josh Robinson and Jonathan Clegg's new book "The Club: How the Premier League became the richest, most disruptive business in sport" provides a fascinating account of the business development of the Premier League, from the initial realisations in the 1980s that maybe football was something you could make money out of, to the multibillion-pound global business it is today. We speak to Josh about the story of the Premier League and the people who have shaped it. Where did the founders get the idea? Does the league owe its success to the insights and actions of a few key individuals, or would it have happened anyway? And what is likely to come next? But first up on today's pod, we speak to Newport County hero - and Carlow native - Padraig Amond, whose 85th minute penalty knocked Leicester City out of the FA Cup last night.
Timeline 9:10 How the NFL influenced the Premier League 18:30 The difference in NFL owners to PL owners 24:20 Will the PL play a game in America? 32:55 The brilliance of Richard Scudamore 40:48 The elimination blackout games 45:11 European Super League and PL parallels 49:30 The colluding ritual of daily newspapers On February 20th, 1992 world football changed. A domestic football league became a worldwide competition. The FA Premier League was born. Ever since, money, owners, agents, players, and coaches have flocked in from around the world to get a piece of the action. Today we examine the birth of the Premier League (PL) and try to look towards the future of it. Who shaped it? Who is currently shaping it? And what will it look like in a decade's time? We are joined by Jonathan Clegg, who is an editor for the Wall Street Journal. He is the author of the new book that he wrote with Joshua Robinson, 'The Club: How the Premier League Became the Richest, Most Disruptive Business in Sport'. If you're interested in the behind the scenes dealings of the PL (as I am) then this is the book for you. In our conversation, you'll hear Jonathan and I discuss: how the NFL influenced the pioneers of the Premier League, will the Premier League play games in the US, what is the future of broadcasting and what parallels are evident between the European Super League and the formation of the Premier League. If you'd like to reach out Jonathan and discuss this interview or the book with him you can him via email jonathan.clegg@theclubbook.com This will be the last episode of 2018. We will return on January 8th with brand new interviews. In the meantime, you can catch up on old episodes or enjoy more time with your friends and family.
