Mike Florio's new book Playmakers: How the NFL Really Works (And Doesn't) takes a look at a league that "has simultaneously become an athletic, financial, and cultural powerhouse—and a League that can’t seem to go more than a few weeks without a scandal." He joined The Kyle Koster Show to talk about what he wanted to accomplish in writing this book and his choice to release it during Pro Football Talk's busiest week of the year. Florio also reflected on the early days of his site and the work that went into building it.

The Kyle Koster Show

The only podcast to proudly originate from the basement of sports bloggers, The Big Weekend explores the stories other websites deem too silly to cover. And some serious ones as well. A rotating cast of writers from The Big Lead bring their aversion to needless hot takes and willingness to laugh every Monday and Thursday. A major name from the world of sports media may pop their head in every once in awhile to talk about the industry or to simply have their time wasted with arbitrary lists and general nonsense.
