<p>NFL Draft season is here. For the fourth year, Hall of Fame scribe Bob McGinn is bringing his draft series to our pages — all of which is available to paid subscribers. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.golongtd.com/p/part-1-wr-whos-the-next-star-wideout">Part I on the wide receivers is live.</a></p><p>At the very top of this year’s draft, those Las Vegas Raiders sure hope they hit the bull’s eye. (It’s been a while.)</p><p>As we transition from free agency to the draft, I wanted to catch up with a friend in the biz: <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/59599639-bill-reiter">Bill Reiter</a> recently took his excellent radio show to the independent media world here on Substack. I highly recommend it. His show — “Reiter Than You” — is bigger ‘n better than ever in podcast form. We first connected back in his CBS Sports Radio days a decade ago when Bill read the <a target="_blank" href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2726189-jared-goff-rams-interview-2017-nfl-season-preview">Jared Goff story</a> referenced on this ep. Since then, I’ve always loved popping on Bill’s show. </p><p>This week, he made his debut on the Go Long Pod.</p><p>For nearly an hour and a half, we discuss quarterbacks. Mostly, C.J. Stroud in Houston, Caleb Williams in Chicago and Tom Brady trying to resurrect those Raiders as a part owner. Brady, 48, admitted this week that he asked the NFL about a potential comeback. What is going on in his mind? (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.golongtd.com/p/tom-brady-enters-a-new-world">The Raiders had a swell March, too!</a>) Everything is discussed from Stroud’s looming Year 4 moment of truth, Williams responding to hard coaching, the Ben Johnson Effect and the sad, sad collapse of Game of Thrones.</p><p>My three-part series on those Bears, House of Dysfunction, is also unlocked to read. If you’d like, here’s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-dysfunction-part-i-the-curious">Part I</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-dysfunction-part-ii-inside">Part II</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-dysfunction-part-iii-whos">Part III</a>.</p><p>Hanging out on the free list? It’s a smart time to upgrade. In addition to McGinn’s draft series, I’ll publish another longform piece here soon.</p><p>Thanks, all.</p><p>ICYMI, here’s the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.golongtd.com/p/real-football-which-contenders-got">latest episode of “Real Football”</a> with longtime scout Jim Monos.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
