A Convo with Former NFL Exec Scott Pioli, the Ultimate Ally - a podcast by The Football Girl

Melissa is thrilled to be joined by former Chiefs GM and Falcons asst GM Scott Pioli who has been a champion of women in football long before it was in style. Scott talks about why he is so passionate about helping minorities carve a path in football, provides an update on Katie Sowers, explains what normalization looks like & much more.

Also, Melissa tries to make sense of the NFL playoff picture, acknowledging that all roads lead to a Pats-Bucs Super Bowl. (Which she is putting in writing so as to look like a genius in mid-February!)
