An always solid, if not spectacular podcast. Florio feels like the Godfather of pro football writers. He seems to have assumed the mantle from Peter King. He has been around forever, seems to know everyone, but does come off as a man yelling at clouds from his front lawn at times. I’d like to see more McCourty on the show.

Just so you know Mike if you’re all about truth… the school that was involved in that “shooting” was closed in 2008 and the news footage was filled with crisis actors. Open your mind

Florio and Simms have unique personalities and perspectives on the NFL and offer great intel without being overly dramatic with hot takes like some other shows.

If Rachel Maddow and Mika Brzezinski hosted a football talk show it would sound kind of like these guys. It must eat Mike up that he can’t serve up more boilerplate liberalism to his listeners. A lawyer who’s liberal- how original. And he’s been quite triggered by the Trump administration. Be sure and miss his jeremiad against the government’s immigration policy. Many sports journalists are washed up here because they couldn’t hack it covering politics. They tap into the large sports audience and, before you know it, they are making our eyes glaze over with the their hot take on the national issue of the way. Mike is always there to answer the question no one is asking- what do his think about Donald Trump?

Mike Florio delivers a master class in understanding the NFL. He reports the facts, reads the tea leaves, and stirs the pot. Despite irritants: bong-headed nepo baby Chris Simms and screeching Shareen Williams, Professor Florio exposes the dynamics of the NFL with a perspective and honesty you won’t find anywhere else. FIVE STARS.

Outstanding interview and info with George Atallah!

I’m put off by the swearing. Seems unnecessary and unprofessional.

Love the show, I’m a long time listener. Something that is annoying and rude is the random music that starts playing. Can you just stop with that, please and thanks!

Cant start my day without listening to PFT with MikeFlorio, Chris and Michael. Love their insight and opinions. Each show offers a chuckle or two , and I always learn a word or two from Mike’s vocabulary. Im new to listening to Podcasts, but after years of reading Profootballralk, it was so nice to find this podcast. Thank you

I would normally give this show a 5 star review. I listen to every episode, they’re the most thorough sports analysts I’ve listened to, and they’re a hilarious duo which is the best part. But censoring the podcast version is pretty disappointing. I generally chose the podcast version because it was the explicit option. Please remove the bleeps. Life is rated R, and the little E on the podcast tag is proper enough warning for people to know what to expect.

Great podcast… following the show and adding this review because of Simms’ GBF appearances and the hilarious Blake bortles list.. thanks man!

So we get the Salah firing?

Great show, love the dynamic between Mike and Chris. Wish NBC didn’t have Chris doing more so the show could be more consistent. I end up primarily finding myself tuning in more often when they are both available.

Stick to football I should not know your political beliefs.

Florio and Simms are two of the very best at this. Love PFT and all they do. Peter King’s presence here this season will really be missed - hopefully he can still have some role moving forward.

These guys are inbred. Dont even have to listen just look at them

If you’re into all things NFL then go no further. Mike and Chris breakdown with keen insight and humor that will educate and entertain you. I’ve tried them all, but this hands down the best football podcast. It’s not even close.

Hearing Peter King and Florio talk about how good the Covid shot is a joke. Then 10 min later hearing Peter King say a segment of society will stay in the dark and believe something utterly stupid about an nfl fix is hilarious. Wake up old heads. You two are in the dark and believing something utterly stupid about how good a Covid shot is.

Florio and Sims combine self-effacing humor with legit knowledge and info about the NFL. The result is one of the best NFL podcasts out there.

Too much Kansas City hype 🙄

Nice action pic. Thought you were more Italian than Spanish.

I enjoy the show. Mike and Chris have great chemistry, unlike other shows. I wish they wouldn’t use profanity in their Thursday podcast. It doesn’t make them more manly. It sets a bad example for their own children. Also represents a lack of integrity.

Please keep Mr King off till he can get through the show without coughing!!!

Florio seems to be infamous, but he loves football and it’s really important to hear news not associated with the NFL. Nobody breaks down the legal issues better, either. why do you cut the episodes in two two parts ? just why? hahaha

Have listened to you and put up with you for years despite being a midget inbred hillbilly. However, at some point you decided to become a full troll and can’t believe anyone would ever allow you in front of any legitimate broadcast but it is 2023. As a Steelers fan, you are an absolute embarrassment to everyone associated with this franchise. Stay away from them and every television in 2024.

Simms isn’t great but Mike, Myles, Charean, and Peter usually have well thought out opinions and present good info to back those opinions.

This used to be my to go podcast. Now it’s full of profanity and gambling ads.

I just spent 30 minutes hearing how the better team on the field lost after talking (FOR 30 MINUTES) about dropped passes, as if that isn't the mark of a bad team. Embarrassing coverage. NBC needs to pull the plug or, at the very least, get these guys off of Football Night in America. I've never seen a more disrespected 9-1 team and definitely never seen a more glaring lack of self-awareness in how a game is covered. When Simms is the one who has to point out to Florio that he thinks he's hosting a Chiefs podcast, you know there is something wrong. Again, pull the plug on this trash.

Your lazy non-criticism criticism of cousin taking his family to the twins game on his day off is sheer hackery. Working 7 days a week does not make you great at something. Anybody in ANY profession who has EVER accomplished anything in it can tell you that. Obviously your podcast is not that great either.

More myles! N Florio n simms need to cut off the intro, trying to be funny, yaal ain’t funny.

NBC needs to pay chris whatever it will take him to get him here everyday. The other guests are totally inferior and the chemistry they have with mike is worse. Overall I love listening when simms is on, other guests I normally can’t get through both episodes

This show and Dan Patrick’s show are my most watched shows on peacock. Just keep Myles Simmons OFF the show. The days that he sits in for Simms are the only days that I can’t watch. The female that sits in sometimes is no good on tv either. Can’t recall her name.

Florio saying he’d ask the union if they thought the owners were colluding was hilarious. Protect this man at all costs.

How many times can a grown man say “ Like “ and “ Right “ during a 2 hour show!! Simms talks like ge should be a teenage girl auditioning for the Clueless movie!! Someone please make this idiot SHUT UP!!

This show is great and I appreciate the great work that goes into making this an enjoyable and informative show.

Getting tough to listen to anymore so I’m stopping and dumping Peacock. Use to be all about Pro Football but now it’s dominated by the blather of 2 self absorbed woke social justice warriors. I don’t need a potty mouth chemical dependent borderline has been jock and a hillbilly Atticus Finch lecturing me on the 2nd Amendment and the evils of their nemesis Donald Trump, Elon Musk and every other conservation they despise. It’s suppose to be a football show It’s The View now. I’ll pass

Bloviate /'blōvē,āt / verb, talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way. Mike Florio and Peter King are the living embodiment of bloviators!! They sit on Mount Pious and hand down their proclemations as if they invented the game. Guys you are not the game! Just report what teams are doing. You are not as important to the NFL as your overinflated sense of self importance will have you believe. Unsubscribed.

It is great to have Simms aboard to provide a player’s perspective. Florio via this Podcast and his Playmakers book provide context for the workings of the NFL. Love that he’s not a company man.

Can you please speak one at a time ? I did not tune in to hear a screaming match !

…once you are able, just 20 sit ups a day will change your life. #USMC #RaidersRtanking.

Florio is everything that is wrong with sports journalism today. Didn’t play, coach or scout professional football at one point in his life…. Just writes click bait garbage to get attention. The sport of football would be much better off without him involved.

Florio is a soy boy beta frappuccino latte and it shows in this Pod. You can pretty much fast-forward about 10 min at the start of each episode to get past the garage pointless banter he and Chris have.

About football.

Excellent podcasts your two discussed San Francisco 49ers bringing back Jimmy Garppolo on a one deal was their backup QB . Examining how this signing could benefit Jimmy Garppolo . Does that move mean the 49ers have in Trey Lance as their QB of the future. And Ron Rivera give update on RB Brian Robinson recovery from a gunshot wound say he doing well. NFC South win to projections and Lamar Jackson express contract concerns social media hint wanting fully guaranteed contract. PPF Live Draft giving off good vibes. Excellent both podcasts

Simms and Florio are a great tandem. Florio brings a legal analytical perspective and Simms brings a unique, unbiased take on what he sees in the film room. Also they genuinely love the game and are passionate

I really appreciate a view by someone not being paid by the NFL.

Mike, I’m sorry Deshaun only got 6 games. I can tell it bothers you. Also sorry that your Steelers will be a dumpster fire this year

I loved the show until you kept pushing your 1 sided views on the world. Football not Politics. If you lived in the inner CITY & not a mountain your views would change. Canceled Podcast

Thx to you both for directly responding to the asinine and less than honest comments made by Del Rio around the events surrounding 1/6. Unfortunately too many Americans are unwilling to directly address/counter the alternative facts and narratives on a plethora of topics/issues that have this country seemingly steaming into the abyss. While about 1/3rd of this country may have their eyes and ears closed to various truths, please don’t stop sharing your perspectives as directly and forthright as you have done to Del Rio’s 1/6 comments and his attempt to equivocate it to police-violence related protest. The rest of us can’t just go quietly into the night and turn this country over to what is sadly now much more than just a lunatic fringe…

Mike Florio treats the Republicans that rioted on Jan 6th equally to the Democrats that riot.
