Final?! This caught me off guard, man I enjoyed watching you guys. Wish you all the best Nate

[@uncletom356]

He worked for Yahoo, no? He really ought to go to greener pastures. He's quite smart and funny. Dane kinida owns The Athletic scouting NFL right now. Although, I'd argue Dane should leave too and create his own content. I'd pay for both, exclusively. The Athletic has lost SO MUCH talent, while adding high priced "connected" reporters. It's beyond gross and anathema to the mission statement of its original launch.

[@michaelwhite7250]

The show won't be the same without you. You taught me a great deal, and for that, I am thankful.

[@deviden13]

We'll miss you Nate! Robert and Nate built this thing up into the best NFL podcast around. Best wishes for the future!

[@buddy318]

I am genuinely sad to see Nate leaving the pod, but extremely thankful for what we got. This pod has been the soundtrack to my commute, to doing laundry, to doing yardwork for years now, and the chemistry with Robert and Nate was a big part of it. Cannot wait to see what Nate has going forward, and look forward to seeing the next phase of Robert and the pod. All the best.

[@johngordon7625]

A BLIND man could see the sincerity and appreciation in BOTH your eyes, what a WONDERFUL moment of human emotion and friendship. So SAD to see the end to this excellent collaboration just when i was getting used to it. THANK YOU to you Nate and BEST of luck and success on your journey mate!. Robert, love u man, YOU will be just fine, and I personally will be along for the ride on both of your different paths!

[@bridgerb542]

Dang, Nate is a great part of this show that we’re all going to miss! Good luck on what’s next Nate!

[@gustavorochafernandesgonca9774]

What a great duo those two are. Good luck Nate. Wish you the best. This show is not gonna be the same.

[@Kyjones2]

Congratulations Nate! This show won't be the same without you. Whatever you end up doing, you are going to crush it. Proud of you!

[@LordGeezus]

WOAH WOAH WOAH, I came here because of Nate you don’t get to just UP N LEAVE 😂😂. Congrats brother, ready for the next venture.

[@keichere]

Feels like the ending from La La Land. Robert tickling the ivories on stage and Nate leaving with a subtle, appreciative head nod. Huge bummer, but best of luck, Nate. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ryanmccrary1880]

Was not expecting to cry watching this pod man…😭

[@jakesykes218]

We will miss you Nate. Love the chemistry you guys have but I know you’re gonna kill it wherever you end up!

[@stephen7604]

Thanks for everything Nate. You have been such a huge part of the success of this podcast over the last 3.5 years. Your love and passion for football is infectious and you have a special way of conveying complex ideas in layman's terms. The connection you and Robert have has been such a joy to experience and I will truly miss it. Best of luck to you in your next endeavor.

[@faisalh.bhuiyan2378]

Just pay the dude and keep him at Athletic, this cannot be the end of the Mays-Tice duo

[@30secondgolflessons]

One of the best shows on the net!

[@johnlrobbie456]

Darn it guys my fricken eyes are leaking. Shit. 😭

[@seahorserider33]

Wouldn't have thought this show ever brings me to tears 😢

[@RKGrizz]

Nate going to the Ringer after his pod with Bill went so smooth they spent 30 mins just talking before they hit their topics.

[@m.l.fields8438]

Robert and Nate have been great together. Can't wait to see where they each go from here!

[@moisesflores3482]

Holy crap I’m actually so sad. Best duo in NFL podcasting/media. 😢

[@Brocolissimo]

End of an era. Wishing all the best to Nate at whatever it is he's doing next.

[@jaden6672]

Man, I'm devastated for your departure Nate, it definitely won't be the same for a while, but I'm excited to see what's ahead for you. I'll miss the tangents that you expand upon as you ramble on about some other topic that excites you while Robert tries to rein the talking point back to the original topic. Your giddiness and expertise for the game is one of the main reasons why I kept coming back to this pod. Thank you Nate and best of luck to you.

[@seahorserider33]

The emotions you guys show is simply one more of the many many reasons why I love this show!

[@jeffdwyer3809]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Love ya Nate! Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future!

[@seahorserider33]

same here 💔

[@ShiftyBTW]

THE HALL OF VERY GOOD MUST CONTINUE WITH NATE

[@ananyabhardwaj8578]

Good luck for the future Nate! You did a great job on the show. It won't be the same without you.

[@Bongoinc69]

The video is more brutal than the announcement itself…. Couple of good guys who have forgotten more about football than I’ll ever know. Thank you.

[@eaglesboy4949]

Congrats Nate! Best of luck with the next adventure I just discovered this pod earlier this year and it’s become one of my favorites. Loved the live draft show and the general chemistry and thoughtful analysis. Gonna miss hearing “Nate how you doin buddy?” but all good things must come to an end 😢😂

[@johngordon7625]

Hes gonna be fine buddy.. lol.. and i most def. agree with ur take.

[@sheabuttersymba]

I’ll miss this duo. Good luck and congrats Nate. My favorite podcast 🤟🏾

[@terrance26]

Thank you Nate! Good luck on whatever’s next ❤

[@anthonygarces2466]

Nate, you and Robert have been an absolute joy to listen to the last 4 years. Y'all and your team and guests are a huge part in how big of a fan of the game I am. I really appreciate how willing y'all were to let your geek flags fly about the game and your joy in sharing and teaching brought me the same. Best of luck to Nate, and looking forward to hearing what the Athletic Football Show sounds like going forward!

[@tonysoprallen]

The fact of this being last Nate's show shouldnt distract you from the fact, that Robert sitting in the kitchen for this episode

[@stephen7604]

That is a hotel room my guy

[@ByMnnT]

Wish you best in whatever opportunity is next, Nate. Thanks for everything you’ve done for this channel. This show has been one of, if not the best shows covering the NFL. On to the next chapter!

[@TreeBranch99786]

Nate helped me understand the game better and be a better fan. Thank you, Nate.

[@DB-ei6wr]

Congrats on the big change, Nate. I'm sad that you're leaving, but I'm happy that I'm probably getting another NFL podcast to which I can listen.

[@Mathews12]

You guys helped me through a really rough personal time, and your friendship (and of course, excellent analysis) has always been amazing to hear. All the best Nate, you’ll crush anything you’ve got coming Ps as someone who’s almost 3 years sober, your openness with your sobriety means a lot Robert

[@justchrismsmith]

I stumbled across the athletic football show on maybe the third podcast and I have literally not missed one of them Nate thank you you guys have been part of my life and made me realize what I love in football and gave me the drive to start coaching thank you both of you

[@azaus987]

Loved this duo and also with Dane - sad to see it end but happy for Nate

[@CodySpears]

WHAT! I took it all 4 granted. Proud of ya

[@desert_sky_guy]

You guys are AWESOME. Real people, real dudes, real, real, real. Congrats, Nate, and the best of luck going forward! (And let those tears flow, we're all doing it, too, lol)

[@historicalanomalies7435]

No, say it ain't so. The dynamic duo is breaking up. So many great shows. So much knowledge shared. Best of luck on your new endeavors Nate. Looking forward to see what the next chapter is Robert.

[@danielgilliland8066]

Purple shirt callback made it feel like a season finale! Best duo covering the league. Thank you, Nate, and thank you, Robert, for calling Nate originally.

[@newdayatmidnight]

This is why you're the best, Nate! When you all were talking about Jared Goff's toughness, I immediately thought about Matt Ryan and how he barely missed any playing time as a Falcon despite taking a bazillion hits. You will be missed!!! But excited to see what's next for you~

[@bark2650]

We’ll miss u Nate u guys are an electric duo. Good luck! exited to see what’s in store for ur future and the athletics.

[@jackconroy6]

Gonna miss you on this show Nate! Best of luck

[@MostlyHeroic]

Nate! I'll miss you on the show regularly - but I'm looking forward to seeing what is next for you!

[@SuperGazian]

Aww congrats Nate! Lovely tribute Robert!

[@stevehalle77]

Congratulations, Nate! I'll miss this dynamic duo. Y'all had me tearing up on the rowing machine this morning. And kudos to Robert-you are launching careers!

[@NGILBE]

Thanks for everything Nate. You always had great perspectives. Good luck with whatever is next

[@Firestartersan]

I saw this episode posted in audio first and said nah. I got to see the video version just to see the emotions. All adventures have beginnings but also have endings the journey is everything. Thanks for the excellent analysis for years together. Good luck to both of you in the future. Mays you are stuck with me I've been listening since the days with Ephraim ✌️💛

[@cradd2405]

Come back, please? Well, that would be great for us but glad you’re doing what’s best for you. Good luck, Nate!

[@jamesfeldmann1095]

Following you to the abyss Nate. Thank you for making me a smarter football fan.

[@TFRScouting]

Appreciate what you two have brought to the NFL content space the last few years and look forward to what more you both will bring to it in the future. Congrats on the next adventure, Nate!

[@mmsL125]

Nate, don’t go! Who’s gonna tell us about duo and stick? Who’s gonna fall in love with a slightly slow X receiver? Who's going to explain the latest offense concept that's sweeping the league that I've noticed but didn't fully understand so when I finally learn what's going and point it out like the Leo meme my family ignores me.

[@k.peterson6659]

I fucking love this show - thank you guys. Rooting for you both and look forward to the next episode of TAFS and whatever's next for Nate

[@patpratt]

I literally gasped when I listened to this last night. Show will not be the same without Nate Tice. Robert, please find someone new that you will have similar chemistry with. It’s what separates your show from the rest!

[@jacquesmassard9226]

Damn Nate you scared me!! Congrats Nate!!!! Also thank you Robert Mays for bringing Nate into this Podcast!!!

[@michaelberry1657]

dynamic duo, best in class

[@paulrimmer7903]

Congrats on your bright new future. Thanks for making me smarter.

[@sethchambers4382]

Nate, good luck with whatever comes next. Really appreciated your insight.

[@kellymccoy9403]

End of an era. Thanks guys!

[@JuanRodriguez-sb7zp]

Good luck Nate!

[@chrxsprod]

Good luck Nate! You’ll be missed. 🥲

[@jordanbremner4678]

Best of luck, Nate! Really loved this show over the last year as I’ve dived into nfl fandom and can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@myzticaznfool]

Nate will do amazing wherever he goes. Can't wait to see what's next! I know any future Nate guest appearance on TAFS will be a delight as well.

[@chrisschrimpf8298]

Love you Nate and wish you all the best. I know Robert will miss his “good buddy Nate”. Good luck and excited to see what is next.

[@coteret3688]

I'M CRYING NOW (TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE) THANKS

[@travispowers9479]

its getting real dusty in here, thanks for everything nate

[@1morepoint]

Good luck Nate! Dude should get a ring when Maye wins a championship for how heavy he advocated for him.

[@TheTovstar]

Damn that's a bummer, nates good vibes will be missed, good luck!

[@kevinbrand270]

I can’t believe I just cried

[@101gonzalez]

deadass thought robert was doing the show shirtless

[@TFFForecast]

Best of luck, you will be missed!

[@MrGamerguy010]

Bets of luck Nate!

[@yannilivanos936]

Sounds like i got another podcast to listen to next week

[@Bite-Size-Vikes]

GOD DAMN IT

[@joeynickles7962]

Dang. I miss one show and I come back and I find out this happened. Bummer.

[@BodybagJones]

Ending on a sour note. Good luck Nate wherever you go we'll be following. Lockett was a cut candidate and restructured to stay with the team two months ago and they're getting rid of him anyway? It's so illogical to me that I found it jarring that it was being discussed.

[@seahorserider33]

This is really sad news Nate... Won't be the same without you 💔

[@BenMeyerson]

I saw someone on Twitter say “This is like KG leaving the T Wolves” 😭😭

[@Pigletsyes]

I could see the Lions looking for a WR if they have major injuries to either St. Brown or Jamo. Otherwise, DPJ should be able to fill in for Josh Reynolds just fine.

[@chancecasey6419]

❤

[@lanemcdonald193]

FINAL?!

[@rafikbaines3456]

Why can't nate do both?

[@dannyollie643]

I'm a freaking puddle right now

[@mikeromano8140]

Forget about Xavien Howard?

[@Lonzel]

The Colts were a 9 win team last season.

[@AndrewFielding-ji1xo]

Genuinely sad. Excited for you though Nate.

[@justinwilliams5982]

Going to miss Nate and Rob together. Rob shave that hideous mustache lol!

[@sebastianshaw4031]

I am sure Dak Prescott would love to sign with Vegas as Dallas is done with him 🤨

[@georges-charbelbeaino511]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[@FootKebab]

Nooooooooooooo!!!

[@FootKebab]

Nate... you've been awesome. I sincerely wish you the very best in whatever it is you're doing next.

[@alijohnny]

No! Nate!

[@aidanwood1607]

This feels worse than a breakup

[@mzamatt]

Is this my fault??? :(

[@johngordon7625]

Isnt everythng ? :P

[@michaelwalsh2495]

Awww man, sad to see Nate is off to greener pastures 😢

[@JD-kt8vt]

My favorite pod. Totally bummed out. Thanks for the knowledge gents. Robert plz don't replace Nate with Russini. Thats an instant unsub.

[@kane6529]

Boyd after that intro all of our estrogen levels skyrocketed 😅 im going to go do some heavy deadlifts and listen to death metal before i start lactating like Robert

[@patpratt]

Brother I promise you it’s okay to have emotions.
