Hello, hello everybody. I am so excited. Welcome to a special edition of Life in the

Compound. I'm Michael Batnik here with Josh Brown, and tonight we have an incredible

guest, former NFL coach and veteran football commentator Michael Embardi. Michael just

will give you a little bit of an introduction. So for those of you who don't know Michael,

he started his career as a scout for the legend Bill Walsh and the San Francisco 49ers.

From there he became the Cleveland Browns director of player personnel with a little guy

named Bill Belicek, who was head coach of the time. He then spent a decade with the

Raiders on their Al Davis. Belicek, Walsh, Al Davis, and he took a trip to the Super Bowl

with the Raiders, a little thing called the Tuck will happen there. Michael then returned

to Cleveland as a GM where he reunited with Bill Belicek. Two seasons later, I'm sorry,

he reunited later with New England as assistant. They went two Super Bowls together. Michael

has worked with Fox, NFL Films, CBS, and The Ringer, and football is in his blood. He's

got two sons that are in the NFL. Matt is an assistant with the Carolina Panthers, and

Nick is the offensive coordinator for the Las Vegas Raiders. Michael co-hosts two excellent

podcasts, The GM Shuffle, and The Lombardy Line. He is the author of the book, Ridaire

and Genius. What I love about Michael is that he combines analytics with experience and

common sense. Michael Lombardy, thank you for coming on today.

Thanks. I cannot appreciate that.

It's another 10 minutes, another 10 minutes. I mean, Lyndon Johnson used to say that,

you know, I wish my father was alive to hear that introduction and my mom was here if

she would have believed it. So I mean, that was pretty damn good, right? I appreciate

it. Thank you very much.
