Red Seat Ventures to Spearhead Sales Representation for The 33rd Team’s Dynamic Sports Media Portfolio
NEW YORK, NY – November 3, 2025 — Red Seat Ventures (RSV), a Fox Corporation company, today announced that it will be the exclusive sales partner for The 33rd Team. Under the agreement, RSV will manage sales representation for The 33rd Team’s media assets, including cornerstone offerings like the “St. Brown Brothers Podcast” from NFL wide receivers and brothers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Equanimeous St. Brown and “Check The Mic.” The partnership underscores RSV’s commitment to expanding its sports vertical and positions The 33rd Team to accelerate growth in its podcast network and distribution.
The 33rd Team, comprised of several NFL legends, offers its clients unparalleled depth of insight and authenticity within the football media sector, integrating its diverse roster of contributors with authentic brand messaging.
In making the announcement, Christopher Balfe, CEO of Red Seat Ventures, said, “We’re thrilled to welcome The 33rd Team as our first sports partner, aligning perfectly with our ethos of bold, game-changing ventures. Our name, Red Seat Ventures, is a tribute to the iconic red seat in Fenway Park and Ted Williams’ legendary 502-foot homerun back in 1946. So, Red Seat has long been poised for a meaningful sports partnership such as this one.”
Harrison Philipps, Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations at The 33rd Team, added, “Partnering with a market leader like Red Seat Ventures was a top priority for us this offseason, and their proven track record—bolstered by their relationship with FOX—makes them the ideal fit. This exclusive sales partnership will play a key role in expanding our media portfolio, keeping our hosts engaged by driving top-line revenue for shows like ‘St. Brown Brothers’ and ‘Check The Mic,’ while also providing us with the foundation to incubate new shows, such as ‘NFL Spotlight with Ari Meirov,’ and ‘NFL IQ ft. Cynthia Frelund & Logan Ryan.’ We’re optimistic about the long-term growth this will enable as we continue to innovate the NFL media landscape.”
The deal is the latest in RSV’s expansion into the sports vertical, having recently added Robert Griffin III and Craig Carton to its talent lineup. Building on this momentum and its expertise in growth strategy and monetization, RSV will support The 33rd Team in its goal of becoming the premier NFL podcast network.
