What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I met Marty Hurney back in 1997 when he hired me in the Chargers front office. You won't meet a more genuine and nice person, and it comes across in the podcast as well. I like that he brings insights from multiple front office experiences including the highest level as a former GM. I look forward to following their podcast and unique analysis of the regular season, post-season, and off-season.

RE from IL · Sep 2026

I can’t wait for each Monday and Wednesday for these two to break down some ball. Schwartz and Hurney go well together, I like the perspectives of a player and a GM on the pod. I would listen to a third episode a week for sure.

Have been listening to the Shuffle since 2018. The knowledge and history of football & the League that Michael Lombardi has shared over the years has been great. What separates the Pod was it felt like friends were discussing the game over beers or at the Barber Shop. Pat brings that feeling back for sure that Adnan & Femi had to compliment Michael.

Dre Bla · Oct 2024

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, Glenn Warciski

NYGunderground · Aug 2024

Edit: came back a month later to drop the rating down. There is always an editing mistake in this podcast. Double playing ads, skipping pieces of audio, replaying segments. Please fix it. Editing is just done without care It feels like every other show there is an editing/mixing mistake. You come back from commercial and the show repeats with the previous segment. This has happened in multiple episodes. I love the show, but I might have to unsubscribe. As an example of the problem, This week we hear about the Eagles being set up to be a bust, and then are supposed to hear about D-line draft prospects after the break, but instead come back from commercial hearing about how the eagles are set up to be a bust. Extremely frustrating

Always a backup Guard · May 2026

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.
