The NFL’s long-running Move The Sticks podcast has officially come to an end. Hosts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks announced the news separately on social media.
What We Know” Move The Sticks launched over a decade ago as an NFL Media production. Jeremiah and Brooks hosted the show together, publishing more than 1,000 episodes over that span. The podcast focused heavily on scouting and NFL analysis, building a loyal audience among fans and aspiring scouts alike. It became one of the more respected football podcasts in the sports media landscape.
What They Said: Daniel Jeremiah (via X): “I want to thank everyone who’s listened to Move The Sticks over the last decade. It’s been a blast to create shows with Bucky Brooks (over 1k of them). He’s a fantastic partner & will always remain a close friend. We’ve had amazing producers & I appreciate them all so much. I’ll let you guys know when I finalize my new podcast home.”
Bucky Books (via X): “It’s been a fantastic run for the MTS podcast. Partnering with a respected colleague and friend on 1K+ episodes has been a career milestone. While I will miss our on-air banter, discussions, and debates, I know our professional paths will cross again in the near future. To the fans and aspiring scouts who have enjoyed our work, I hope you will continue to support our individual projects at NFL Media, NFL Network, and ESPN. Although this chapter is closed, I’m excited about the future chapters that will be written down the road.”
What Remains Unclear: Jeremiah confirmed he is exploring a new podcast home but has yet to finalize details. Brooks, meanwhile, did not specify any upcoming podcast plans.
What It Means: The end of Move The Sticks closes a significant chapter in NFL podcast history. Few shows in the space reached the 1,000-episode milestone. Both hosts remain active at major networks — Jeremiah at NFL Network and Brooks split between NFL Media and ESPN. Whether a new project could involve a reunion could be a possibility. The duo captured the attention of the NFL fan in need of in depth coverage regarding scouting and draft news. ESPN, who now oversees the NFL Network, could navigate a path for both talents to be involved in a project together. Especially with the network’s longstanding relationship with Omaha Productions.
