NFL Stock Exchange: An NFL Draft Podcast - Trevor just landed his NFL dream job! (Announcement + what happens to NFLSE)

Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up, Addix. Trevor Sikima here. I wanted to come to you guys with a little bit of an update. All of the jobless and unemployed jokes out the window were done. I don't want to see any of them ever again. No, I'm just kidding. You know, I love you guys. And I was laughing along the entire summer. But the reason why I say that we got to put a cap on those is because I got what feels like a dream job, honestly.

Starting point is 00:00:21 And I'm here to announce to you guys that I am going to work for the NFL in their content department. It's kind of crazy to say. It really is. Man, I just, I am so humbled and full of gratitude for everything that has gotten me to this point, y'all included. I need to let you know right off the bat. Nothing changes with stock exchange. Don't worry. We ain't going anywhere, baby. Stock exchange is going to continue to roll on. And I had to make sure that I told you guys that because stock exchange and you guys are such a huge part of genuinely like not just what we do for work, but honestly, our lives. You have made working in this industry truly a dream. dream come true. And it's so much fun to get to do this with you all, the way that we want to do it on stock exchange, all of that. And my role with the NFL and everything that I get to do, I think that it just enhances that and takes it to another level. One of the main things that I'm getting to do this year is actually people who are fans of the Blue Chip Committee, you're going to get a lot more of it because myself and Brett Coleman, we are going to be co-hosting a show called NFL Pro, which is going to be showing off, guys, honestly, everything that the NFL has at its disposal.

Starting point is 00:01:26 It's going to be the NFL Pro product, but also all the NGS data. We're going to be able to show you guys film to truly bring these data points to life and explain exactly, you know, why a play goes a certain way or why a player is having such a good year. Or vice versa, we're going to break all that down. It's going to be on YouTube. We're going to be starting a new YouTube channel. We'd love for you guys, subscribe to that one as well. I believe it's just going to be called the NFL Pro YouTube channel.

Starting point is 00:01:50 We're going to be airing every Monday and Friday. So it's going to be coming to you guys two days a week. But I'm also going to be on a lot of. of other shows that the NFL has to offer as well. Their NFL fantasy show, which I believe is going to stick with Wednesday throughout the season, at least it's Wednesdays right now. I'll be popping on with Greg Rosenthal with the NFL Daily show, the 40s and Free Agents show, the NFL report show, a lot of stuff that they have going on. And one reason I'm really, really excited about this is because anybody who is following the news knows that ESPN bought NFL network from NFL media. So now NFL

Starting point is 00:02:20 media is really focusing in on, I think, the YouTube and the digital space. And like, how do they cover that as best as they possibly can. And I've definitely felt from them that they feel as though they haven't invested the resources that reflects what the NFL is and can be to cover the game and to cover their league. And it really feels like they're doing that now. Not just by launching this show, but just everything that they've talked to me about that beyond the NFL pro show that they want to do and how they want to change things.

Starting point is 00:02:51 And it's getting me so excited about just everything that they have to offer. They're leaning pretty heavy into their fast channels as well. So anybody out there that has like LGTV, a Roku TV, something like that, you know, how you can go over and see like the live TV tab. And it's kind of sometimes those channels that you don't recognize. Well, the NFL has a channel there. It's free. It's totally free. Anytime you buy one of those smart TVs, those fast channels are already installed there.

Starting point is 00:03:12 And we're going to have a lot of our shows there as well. So that's another place that you could watch it. But I'm just really excited to be a part of what is the next wave of covering the NFL for the NFL. I can't stop smiling about it. So lucky and blessed to be able to do all of this stuff. And I hope that you guys are coming on this journey with me, truly. We really have the opportunity to shape how you want this league to be covered. Anybody who has followed this show in this channel for a long time knows that,

Starting point is 00:03:44 yeah, Connor and I obviously talk about what we want to talk about and how we want to cover the NFL draft and the NFL and everything. But we lean a lot on you guys as well. We want to understand how you. want the game to be covered, the things that you want to see, more advanced analytics, more film, which obviously we can't really do on this channel here, but we can do a whole lot of it with the NFL. And that's something that gets me super excited as well. So things that you maybe even have wanted us to do here on this channel that we maybe haven't had the power to do, Brett and I are going to have the power to be able to do that with everything that we're doing

Starting point is 00:04:17 on the NFL's digital landscape. So I'm so excited. I don't want to ramble forever about it. But honestly, I wanted to let you guys know because y'all are family. So I wanted to let you guys know right when the news dropped, which is right when this video is coming out. But also just to say thank you. Thank you so much for everybody, whether you just subscribed yesterday and you're new to follow my work or whether you follow my work all the way back to Pew Report or Road to Radio City or whatever it was. Like I just, I can't thank you enough for making this a dream job because of the people that I get to interact with. the conversations that I get to have.

Starting point is 00:04:55 And the friends that I get to make, honestly. Like, that's the best part of it. I know everybody says like, oh, man, you talk sports for a living. It's great. It is great. Don't get me wrong. But it truly is the people that you get to meet along the way that makes all the difference in the world.

Starting point is 00:05:09 So thank you guys. Thank you so much for supporting me. Thank you so much for honestly dogging on me throughout the summer. The unemployment jokes, everything, man. You guys can keep throws rolling. I don't care. I won't stop you guys. Not that I could anyways.

Starting point is 00:05:21 But just from the bottom of my. my heart. Thank you guys so much. I'm very excited about this opportunity and I hope it's an opportunity for you guys to feel like you can have a voice in how the NFL is covered and the things that we get to do in the future. Love y'all. Thank you so much.
