No Free Lunch with Ndamukong Suh
Andrew Siciliano on NFL RedZone, Shedeur Sanders & The Browns, & 27 Years in Sports Media
•
What does it really take to build a 27-year career in sports media at the highest level? In this episode of No Free Lunch, Ndamukong Suh sits down with longtime NFL host Andrew Siciliano to unpack the mindset, preparation, and sacrifices behind RedZone, the Olympics, and a lifetime in sports storytelling.
Andrew shares how a shy kid from Reston, Virginia turned a love for baseball on the radio into one of the most recognizable voices in football. From launching the original RedZone channel to covering the Olympics and working with the Cleveland Browns, he breaks down the week-long preparation, elite teamwork, and relentless consistency required to perform live for seven straight hours. He also reflects on lessons from legends like Pat Summitt, why being a great teammate matters more than ego, and how today’s creators can control their own narrative in the media landscape.
This is a masterclass on longevity, humility, and building something that lasts. If you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or creative looking to level up, this conversation is for you.
