Pushing the Pile: A CBS Sports NFL Podcast

Pushing the Pile: A CBS Sports NFL Podcast

Pushing the Pile moves the NFL conversation across the line, led by former All-Pro offensive lineman Kyle Long, football analyst Mike Renner, and writer/thinker JP Acosta. Together, the three bring a mix of player perspective, analytics expertise, and sharp cultural insight across 4 episodes a week. It’s like hanging with your buddies and talking ball…if your buddies were 8-year NFL vets, film junkies who helped build evaluation systems used by NFL teams, and one of the most thoughtful young voices breaking down the game today.
