Legendary Coach Bill Belichick and Raiders Star Maxx Crosby Join “Let’s Go!” on SiriusXM as Hosts for 2024 Season

NEW YORK, NY (08.30.24) – SiriusXM unveiled a new lineup for the 2024 season of the exclusive show, “Let’s Go!” Throughout the upcoming NFL season listeners will hear from hosts six-time Super Bowl Champion head coach Bill Belichick, three-time Pro Bowl Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, and three-time National Sportswriter of the Year Peter King, as they join Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Gray for weekly in-depth conversations on pro football.

New episodes of “Let’s Go!” will debut every Monday at 6 pm ET/3 pm PT on SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82) and replay at 6:30 pm ET/3:30 pm PT on SiriusXM NFL Radio (channel 88). “Let’s Go!” will be available on all major podcast platforms, with additional bonus content from Belichick, Crosby, King and Gray available only on the SiriusXM app. The new season begins this Monday, September 2.

Each host, in his own segment with Jim Gray, brings to “Let’s Go!” a unique and special perspective on the game.

One of the greatest head coaches of all time, Bill Belichick holds numerous coaching records, including the record of most Super Bowl wins (6) as a head coach, all with the New England Patriots, along with two more as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants. During his time with the Patriots Belichick was a central figure during the franchise’s dynasty. He has the most playoff coaching wins all-time with 31 and is second on the all-time coaching list for combined wins.

“I thank Tom for recommending me. When the opportunity was presented by Jim I said, ‘Let’s Go,’” Belichick said. “When people say, ‘Let’s Go!’ it conveys a sense of camaraderie and teamwork that all involved share the same goals and excitement. And that’s exactly how I feel to be joining the ‘Let’s Go!’ team at SiriusXM.”

Belichick takes over as a host for Tom Brady who, along with Larry Fitzgerald, led the first three seasons of “Let’s Go!” with Gray. Brady will make appearances on the show this season as a guest.

“For 20 years I threw the ball for Coach Belichick. Now I am passing the microphone to him on ‘Let’s Go!’” said Brady. “I will be listening every week as I know Bill and Jim will have lots of great conversations, and I’m looking forward to my guest appearances and joining them during the season.”

Maxx Crosby has led the league in tackles for loss the past two seasons, been voted to the Pro Bowl the past three, and has established himself as one of the leaders of the Las Vegas Raiders franchise.

“It’s an honor for me to join a show I’ve tuned in to my entire career,” said Crosby. “I look forward to diving into all things NFL and Raiders with two legendary sports journalists in Jim and Peter, and to be part of the same program with the greatest coach of all time in Coach Belichick.”

Peter King has covered the NFL for more than four decades, was voted National Sportswriter of the Year by his peers three times and is one of the most informed and trusted journalists covering the sport.

“This season on ‘Let’s Go!’ our listeners will get to hear directly each week from the greatest Super Bowl winning coach of all time in Bill Belichick and one of the NFL’s most exciting young players in Maxx Crosby. This combined with Tom’s guest appearances will continue to serve our audience one-of-kind insights into the game,” said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s President and Chief Content Officer. “Add to the mix Peter King’s encyclopedic knowledge of the game, and Jim Gray leading the conversations, and you have an extraordinary on air team.”

“Perhaps more than anyone, Bill brings a wealth of insight, knowledge and wisdom of professional football and leadership that he will now share with our audience on ‘Let’s Go!’ I’m honored to be able to work with him,” said Gray. “I love and appreciate Tom and Larry, as we have spent more than a decade together on the radio. I’m very grateful to both of them and I’m very happy that Tom will continue as a guest. Maxx is a superstar, and Peter will provide us the most enlightening stories and astute perspectives.”

The first three seasons of “Let’s Go!” have also featured appearances by an extraordinary list of guests – including Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Judge, Andy Reid, Lamar Jackson, Lawrence Taylor, Snoop Dogg, Oprah Winfrey, Roger Staubach, Josh Allen, CJ Stroud, A’ja Wilson, Denzel Washington, Adam Sandler, Shaq, Peyton Manning, Kevin Durant, John Elway, Joe Burrow, Deion Sanders, Charles Barkley and many others.

“Let’s Go!” is produced by Scratchy Productions and SiriusXM.
