TBP 294: Tyler Dunne, Sportswriter & Podcaster

On this milestone three-year anniversary episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a conversation with popular sportswriter and podcaster Tyler Dunne about some of the many personal and professional changes in Dunne’s life since previously appearing on the podcast in March of 2018.

Tyler discusses some of those personal changes in his life over the past few years, including getting married, having a daughter with a son on the way and moving from Orchard Park to Boston (New York).  Professionally, Tyler saw his positional eliminated by Bleacher Report shortly before the start of the 2020 NFL regular season after spending over four years there.  Rather than take his talent to another national publication Tyler decided to “bet on himself” and start his own venture, something he’s had in the back of his mind since college.  He started a “Go Long with Tyler Dunne” which contains plenty of free content and a lot of bonus content and perks for paid subscribers.  Tyler discuses what went into his decision and some of the advantages of now being his own boss.

They also spend time talking about Tyler’s podcast alongside Jim Monos sharing the same name, Go Long with Tyler Dunne.  In a short amount of time Tyler and Jim have had some riveting topics and guests including a handful of former Buffalo Bills that aren’t heard from often: Lee Evans, Eric Moulds and Donte Whitner.  Discussing Whitner leads Moran to remember his beef with Whitner right around a decade ago and he goes over it in animated detail.

Before wrapping up Patrick asks Tyler for some insight on the Bills, including if he thinks the team will retain Matt Milano and/or Darryl Williams as well as talking about a pair of Green Bay running backs Patrick thinks would be good fits for Buffalo.

It’s a great conversation with one of the most likable and talented national sports writers in the country.
