"Be at your best when your best is needed." Jonathan Taylor As the Pivot Training Camp tour hits Indianapolis, one of the league's best Running Backs Jonathan Taylor sits with the guys for an in-depth conversation about his football journey—from his early days at Salem High School in New Jersey to his dominant college career at Wisconsin to becoming one of the NFL's premier running backs with the Indianapolis Colts...JT's transcendent path is one everyone can learn from. Taylor opens up on making it to the league, the work behind becoming one of the most productive backs in football, and what it means to earn a new deal and continue building his legacy in Indianapolis. JT talks about the legends at his position before him, what it was like having Philip Rivers around and gives an inside-look into this year's roster filled with young proven talent. He also discusses his relationship with Colts head coach Shane Steichen, the Irsay family, and the people inside the organization who have helped shape his career. He gives his respect to the other top Backs in the league from Bijan to Derrick Henry to Saquon, even revealing what him and Saquon had in common long before their NFL days...Beyond the numbers, Taylor talks about leadership, accountability, handling adversity, and setting the standard for a team that wants to win. He also breaks down what it will take for the Colts to make the playoffs—what needs to come together inside the locker room, the consistency required throughout the season, and the mindset it takes to make a real postseason run. What does it take to be one of the best? How does he approach the responsibility that comes with being a leader? And what does winning mean to him at this stage of his career? A candid conversation with one of the NFL's elite about the journey that got him here—and the mindset, leadership and commitment it will take to get the Colts where they want to go.

On this episode of A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray, Maggie takes on the latest NFL storylines, makes a bold Minnesota Vikings playoff prediction, and welcomes St. Louis Cardinals host and reporter Dani Wexelman for an inside look at Major League Baseball. First, Maggie breaks down the dysfunction surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders after veteran stars Maxx Crosby and Kirk Cousins got into a training camp scuffle that resulted in both players being suspended. These are established NFL veterans who know better—but what does this kind of chaos say about the Raiders organization? More importantly, how could a dysfunctional Raiders franchise affect the development of future quarterback Fernando Mendoza? Maggie explains why she's genuinely concerned about Mendoza's future in Las Vegas and questions whether Tom Brady's involvement with the Raiders has produced the kind of organizational transformation many expected. Then Maggie makes a bold NFL prediction: she's buying the Minnesota Vikings as a playoff team. After Kyler Murray won the Vikings' starting quarterback job over J.J. McCarthy, Maggie argues that the quarterback competition may have been one of the easiest of Murray's career. But could Minnesota be the perfect environment for Murray to resurrect his NFL career? The Vikings face a brutal NFC North that includes the Lions, Packers and Bears—but Maggie is going out on a limb and predicting Minnesota will somehow make the playoffs. Then, Dani Wexelman, host and reporter for the St. Louis Cardinals, joins Maggie for a wide-ranging conversation about baseball and life inside an MLB clubhouse. Dani discusses: Why the St. Louis Cardinals may be ahead of schedule The Cardinals' future and direction Her thoughts on the Los Angeles Dodgers The New York Yankees and their expectations What it's like being a woman working inside the clubhouse of professional athletes Her experience covering Major League Baseball The changing landscape of sports media and baseball coverage TOPICS COVERED

Overtime HR 2 8.5.26 | Who Are The College Football National Title Contenders? by Fanrun Radio

The Drive identified the biggest contenders in the AFC, and pointed out how each of those teams have a major red flag.

  On this episode of A Must Win Game with Maggie Gray, Maggie is joined by sports broadcaster Chris Rose (Jomboy Media & NFL Network) for a wide-ranging conversation covering the biggest stories in sports right now. We start with the MLB Trade Deadline, where the Los Angeles Dodgers made the blockbuster move of the summer by acquiring ace Tarik Skubal. Does this move make the Dodgers the clear World Series favorite—or would Chris still take the rest of the field? Plus: The Boston Red Sox make a major splash by adding All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman Did the New York Yankees do enough at the deadline—or did they miss their moment? Winners and losers from a wild MLB trade deadline Then, Chris takes us inside Dallas Cowboys training camp, where he spoke with Jerry Jones, Dak Prescott, and CeeDee Lamb. Is the hype in Dallas actually real this year? Chris explains why the Cowboys could be true contenders if their defense takes even a modest step forward, given how explosive their offense already is. We also dive into one of the most fascinating storylines in the NFL right now: the Cleveland Browns quarterback battle. Why Shedeur Sanders should WIN the Browns QB job: Elite poise and decision-making beyond his years Accuracy and command of the offense that stands out immediately Leadership presence that teammates gravitate toward A higher long-term ceiling compared to other options in the room Is Cleveland overthinking this? Maggie and Chris break down why Sanders might give the Browns their best chance to stabilize the position—and potentially surprise people this season. Time stamps 2:11 Dodgers feeling the weight of the world?  5:34 the problem with small market MLB teams 10:16 The Yankees did not do enough at the trade deadline 11:37 The Boston Red Sox trade for Adley Rauschman, does it put them over the top in the American League?  13:02 Pete Crow Armstrong has an unpopular opinion about Babe Ruth 14:02 Maggie's unpopular opinion leaves Chris stunned 16:28 Is the optimism around the Dallas Cowboys warranted?  19:46 Why Chris wants to see Shedeur Sanders win the quarterback battle in Cleveland  If you're a baseball fan, NFL fan, or just love smart, opinionated sports talk—this episode is a must-watch.
