I'm Trevor Sycambe with me as always is Connor Rogers. I wanted to address this off the top of the show. I'm no longer with PFF. PFF, they split the company in half, the business side of things where they deal with NFL teams, given their data. They sold that over to TeamWorks. The media arm of the company does still exist, but they downsized that a ton. And I was one of a lot of people who got laid off on Monday.

And to be honest with you, really, I'm not here to. talk PFF. So if you're looking for me to do that, I'm not going to do it. To be honest with you, what I really want to use this platform for is to say thank you to you guys. The outpouring of support that you had for not just me, but what meant a lot more to me is my coworkers on Monday. I mean, I just, I can't thank you enough for that. Like, I love you guys. I truly do. There are some of those guys that got, you know, let go. Shoot, I mean, all of them, honestly, got let go on Monday, they're unbelievably talented in what they do, whether it's the graphics design guys, the social guys, the production guys, the guys in front of the camera, Mason, Max,

Dalton, myself. Like, those guys are so great at what they do. And it was a situation that them being free agents today is not their fault. It was just, it's business, it happens, it's not their fault. And these guys are culture changers, they're grinders. They know ball, man. And I just think that anybody out there, if you have a spot and you're thinking about hiring these people, I couldn't recommend them anymore. I just, I can't thank you guys enough for the support. So many people asked about NFLSC responding to my tweet and wondering what was going to happen. We ain't going anywhere, baby. You know, you know the Wolf of Wall Street clip. Because I ain't going on. I'm not leaving. And that is exactly what NFLSE is.

And to be honest with you, I'm probably going to have a lot more time to be able to pour into NFLSE. you guys like what we do around here because we're probably going to be giving you a lot more of it. So we appreciate all the support that you guys have given over the years of NFLSE when we were with PFF and now obviously when we're fully independent doing our own thing. And we would love for you to be part of the addicts. We're trying to get the 75K subs by the time the draft rolls around. It's a lofty goal. This is what we do around here.

If you've loved the show, any show that we have done, we'd love for you to subscribe, come back, hang out with us. We appreciate you guys. You are nothing but a man of class consistently when times you don't always have to be and that is something of many things that I respect about you, my friend. And I think very shortly, this will just be for the long-term benefit of you. I don't think that. I actually know that. So like you said, this show's not going anywhere. It was, you know, honestly, I have to just say this. As someone who didn't work there, it was great

launching the podcast through PFF. This podcast was born through PFF. It started on the PFF YouTube channel a lot of people that unfortunately don't have jobs anymore whether they left before all of this or now or without you know employment because of this did a lot of groundwork to get this not only off the ground but keep it running and support us and I'm very very thankful for that

as well so we're always transparent with our audience and I think it is the most important thing that we are not going anywhere. Yeah I don't know what the future of you know the media side of things is at PFF I do know there are still some really good people and some people I really hold dearest friends that are still there. And I understand that a lot of people are, you know, angry about what happened. Part of me is as well.

But there are still really good people that are working there. And so just think about that as well. It's a situation that I think is just tough for a lot of people. And I'll probably tell more stories about, you know, the last couple of years and everything throughout the course of not this specific show, but NFLSC will probably talk about that a little bit. But the golden age of PFF, man, so much fun. Just so much fun with all those people. And I had a blast working with all of them. So shout out to all of them. The people that have moved on already, the people that are still there, the people that are looking for work. I think that pro football

focus really did change how people talked about football, you know. And it was, it was cool to be a little part of it. It really was.
