Sho Alli kicks off with Fantasy Football host Andy McNamara (1:45) for a conversation about the perception of the Chiefs around the NFL. Then, they weigh in on potential flaws of the Eagles' run-heavy offence, project the Titans' direction with the first overall pick and evaluate the QBs at the top of this year's draft. Later, ESPN columnist Kalyn Kahler (29:14) joins the show to discuss how a circle of agents and advisors influence coaching searches around the league, and why it disproportionately affects minority coaching candidates.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

For years, the NFL has been trying to make the hiring of people of color in leadership positions a more fair and more equitable process. Through initiatives like accelerator programs meant to introduce prospects to owners and other people with hiring ability, alongside the widely controversial Rooney Rule which literally mandates that people of all backgrounds get interviews, the league has been marginally successful at changing who is in the room when it comes to coordinators, head coaches, and general managers. Today ESPN senior NFL writer Kalyn Kahler reports on a new speed bump in the road: the trend of "package deals," whereby an agent places multiple clients in coaching or front office roles with the same team. She details her reporting on where this practice comes from, why it's hurting the prospects of minorities to get these jobs and what, if anything, the NFL can do to fight against it.

Kalyn Kahler, ESPN NFL writer, joins the guys to discuss the Bears culture and what the perception around the NFL is about the team.

ESPN Senior NFL Writer, Kalyn Kahler joins Game Play to chat about the Bills' statement win against the Chiefs, why the Chiefs look so beatable, if the Bills should be favoured in the AFC, level of concern for the Green Bay Packers, if the Steelers are contenders and more.

Sho Alli and Donnovan Bennett react to the news that the Colts are returning to Anthony Richardson at QB for the rest of the season. NFL Network's Adam Rank (3:50) weighs in on the Colts' indecisiveness at QB, the league's development problem, Matt Eberflus's future in Chicago, Drake Maye's steady play and he looks ahead to Week 11's exciting slate. Later, ESPN's Kalyn Kahler (28:59) sheds insight on the dysfunction in Dallas, Jerry Jones' focus on entertainment rather than on-field success and the importance of good ownership in today's NFL.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Jerry Jones has built the Dallas Cowboys into the most valuable sports franchise in the world. But the 28 years since they last won a Super Bowl have been marked by a remarkable string of playoff failure. And this season, after three losses in a row, it looks like the letdowns in Big D will continue.  Back in the offseason, former Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz identified a challenge very unique to Jerry's team when he said “there's [fans] literally going on tours while you're lifting in the weight room… it's a zoo.” That comment caught the attention of our Kalyn Kahler, who was inspired to take a closer look at these fan tours of the team's facility and how they've become a significant distraction for the players.  So with the rival Eagles looking to put a fork in the Cowboys season on Sunday, Kalyn Kahler brings us her report from inside “The Star” and explores how Jones obsession with the spotlight has put the quest for another title in perpetual peril.   Learn more about your ad choices.

ESPN Senior NFL Writer, Kalyn Kahler joins Game Play to chat about Sam Darnold's unexpected revival, how Darnold has turned things around, impressive coaching from Kevin O'Connell and Matt LaFleur, and the controversy around insuring star players in the NFL.

You may remember Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila sacking quarterbacks at will with the Green Bay Packers at the turn of the century. His get-off speed was rare. Only Clay Matthews has sacked the quarterback more as a Packer.He was a player who loved chatting up teammates, coaches and media members alike about faith. A lot. That's not uncommon.Everything that happened from about 2019 on? Well, that has raised eyebrows.There's a good chance you stopped everything you were doing to read Kalyn Kahler's compelling series at Sports Illustrated, “Pray for Kabeer.” The story of KGB's life took a dark turn in the public eye when he sent two friends to his children's school with guns. She explored in-depth.These last few years, Kahler drove the story of Kabeer and Straightway Truth Ministry further with her new podcast: “Spiraled.”Gbaja-Biamila isn't alone. Other ex-NFL players — including another ex-Packer —have also joined Straightway and made news for the wrong reasons.We chatted all about the show here on the Go Long Podcast. It's a chilling tale that'll have you binging in a hurry. Today, Kahler is an NFL senior writer at ESPN.
