The GM Shuffle: A Podcast Marred by Arrogance and Agenda

“The GM Shuffle is a football podcast bringing you all the latest news around the NFL - as long as it aligns with Mike Lombardi’s preconceived beliefs and agenda. A former general manager who isn’t bashful in reminding you that he was ‘in the league’ and “I’m not just saying that because my son works there”, Mike spends his episodes defending every take he has and criticizing anyone who dares disagree with him. You want someone to remind you that HE KNEW Justin Fields wouldn’t be good? This is your podcast. Just don’t expect Mike to address the fact that he also said Will Anderson wasn’t worth the hype - and this makes the nonconfrontational Femi the perfect host. Topics are strategically discussed in a way in which Mike always emerges as smarter than everyone else. There’s no back-and-flow with Femi; rather, Mike speaks when he wants to speak, which means constantly interrupting Femi with “like seriously” and enough utterances of “you know” that a Toastmasters rookie would blush. You have to laugh at Mike’s inability to pronounce even the simplest of names and there are some strange fixations that take away from the show - everything can be tied back to a Sporanos quite or a reference to Mike’s cousin Big Daddy, and don’t even get Mike started on the JFK assassination. You’ll definitely get some interesting behind-the-scenes content but Angry Mike’s perpetual arrogance makes this a tough listen.”

“Clearly over promoted for his brief stint at GM, brags about rings a lot which he got for bringing Belichick donuts and being a scout under Walsh. Barely understands where game has been, clearly doesn’t see where it’s going.”
