The GM Shuffle - Podcast Rankings and reviews

So rare to get critical analysis from former coaches, players, and GMs. Michael is so blunt I frequently laugh on how brutal he can be. I have learned so much about the administrative side of the NFL that I never knew. Keep pumping out episodes!

I learn something about football every time I listen, and I appreciate Michael’s honesty and desire to cut through the platitudes from most football pundits and tell it like it truly is. Recommend for every football fan!

This is the best NFL podcast!!!! Each time I listen, I learn something new. Lombardi backs up his analysis with facts. He is refreshing to listen to. Unlike other shows, Lombardi does not sugar coat or give measured responses. He does not hedge. He takes a stance on a subject based on his experience as an NFL executive as well as his unsurpassed knowledge of the game. And I am a Giants fan. I love him for speaking his truth about this dysfunctional and dreadful organization. The Giants have lost their way. Unfortunately, things will continue to spiral downwards. Indeed, John Mara needs to wake up. For this upcoming season, I am looking at 3-14 record.
I enjoy listening to segments about leadership. In addition, Lombardi is well read. I love when he talks about his own books as well as books about the NFL.
Two suggestions: Please teach me and listeners how you watch game on TV. I have heeded your advice about muting or turning the sound low. I try to not watch the ball. I pay attention to the guards on offense. Based on if they fall back or move forward let me know whether it is a run or pass. I like to watch the DT too. Are they taking on blocks to keep the linebackers clean?
When evaluating players in a game. What do you look at in a player? For a defensive back, how they move their hips? A Tackle how they use their feet?
I would like to meet Mr Lombardi. We share common interests in movie and film too.

I loved Bill Walsh book. Score Takes Care of Itself. I would like Mr Lombardi to start a book club segment to his pod. Ie. Must read books about the game.
Warmly,

Never miss the show. Been through 3 different hosts with Mike all the way back to the Ringer days. Mike has insight from working in the league that you just can’t find anywhere else, especially cause it’s not watered down like a player turned media head. As a Sixers fan also helps to share in Mikes misery at times too.

Been a listener since the ringer days. This is Mike Lombardi show. Why does Femi keep talking? Femi you’re paid to talk. You’re not paid by the word. Make your point and stop talking. Mike asked you about how Demarco Lawrence looked in camp while you visited — your response was to talk for five minutes and tell us about Demarco’s stats lastbthe few years. Eventually you got back to camp but you missed the point and never had any real insight. That’s the point. We all want Mike’s insights. Mike makes a statement and immediately you close with a word salad often parroting what Mike already said.
Mike — when Bobby Beathard passed you never acknowledged. As one GM to another I feel this was a huge omission/oversight. please rate the coaches like you do the players. Also how bout a team talent ranking?

I’ll raise my rating if I hear more Mike in the coming podcasts.
