As our Pivot training camp tour continues, we've made our stop down in the A. sitting with Falcons star running back- Bijan Robinson, who right off the football field, sits with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor for an in depth, personal conversation about the next chapter of his young but already impactful NFL career. The Atlanta Falcons star opens up about stepping fully into his role as a leader and playmaker, entering year 3 with more confidence, focus, and responsibility than ever before. Bijan shares what it's been like to silence the doubters, thrive in a system finally tailored to his skill set, and carry the weight of high expectations with grace and hunger. Stemming from humble beginnings and rooted by his faith- Bijan is ready for what's ahead. Bijan reflects on the highs and lows of his early career and how a new sense of clarity—have changed everything. He speaks on the impact of playing under Raheem Morris, a head coach who believes in him fully and isn't afraid to build the offense around his dynamic skill set. Bijan talks about the team's transition from veteran Quarterback Kirk Cousins to Michael Penix Jr and what he's seen from him so far in arm talent, poise, and leadership—and how their chemistry could become one of the league's most dangerous duos, especially as the team looks to have Bijan expanding his offensive role running routes this season. He also talks about what it meant to have the league's standard as his position, Saquon Barkley publicly praise him as “the most naturally gifted back of this generation,” and how that respect from a peer pushed him to raise his game. Bijan details his intense offseason training with another star back, Christian McCaffrey, learning firsthand from one of the most disciplined and productive backs in the league—gaining not only physical tools but a veteran mindset. From legacy talk to work ethic, setbacks to spiritual grounding, Bijan gives one of his most candid interviews yet.

“I was in control of this whole thing, that was the most appealing part of being in NY- just pitching in the Bronx, having that energy and knowing it starts and stops with you is incredible.” CC Sabathia On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, hosts Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder welcome pitcher CC Sabathia, as the guys dig into his storied career, personal journey, and the transition from elite athlete to mentor and icon. The conversation leads off recognizing Sabathia as a first-ballot Hall of Famer with a World Series Title capped by impressive career stats—250+ wins, 3,000+ strikeouts, a 3.74 ERA across 19 MLB seasons—as he talks about the baseball memories and personal journey from Cleveland to Milwaukee to New York and now in Cooperstown with baseball royalty. With his path rooted in family, starting with his father and mother's support from a young age to meeting his forever partner, Amber, as a teenager to growing his family and career together- it's not lost on CC that walking across the Hall of Fame stage is because of those close to him who's held him down through the highs and lows of life. With fame and success, comes a story of personal struggle and inner demons CC managed his entire baseball career. From a high school player to late in his career, the 6x All-Star and 2007 Cy Young winner talks about his addiction to alcohol, not seeing it as a problem and opens up on what finally made him enter rehab in October of 2015, stepping away from the game at a time his Yankees were making a final playoff push. He reveals his fears and struggles during that emotional time and shares how he was able to return to baseball better and stronger while remaining sober for the past decade. Ryan, Channing and Fred highlight Sabathia's famous workhorse identity: a fierce competitor who often took short rest to support his teams. CC explains why teammate loyalty and responsibility always outweighed self-preservation but being available to play was always a priority. He talks about playing along side his Captain, Derek Jeter, and reveals aspects of Jeter that many don't talk about, calling him his best teammate he ever had. The life of the Big Apple and the spotlight that came with it from celebrity circles to high pressure to pure bliss....He shares how he has no regrets and that there was no better feeling than pitching in the Bronx in front of thousands, knowing that he was in control with it all starting and stopping with him. CC reflects on what it means to be one of only three Black pitchers in history to reach both 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts, joining legends like Bob Gibson and Fergie Jenkins. He goes on to share how baseball has always been a sport for black athletes but not always black culture, which is something he is dedicated to increasing with his new role working with the MLB player alliance. He speaks on redirecting his leadership—once reserved for the mound—to his kids, sharing insights into fatherhood, sobriety, and purpose beyond baseball. This conversation is beyond baseball, it humanizes a legend through transparency and raw honesty. Comment below and share what you took away from this episode, for us, it unpacked a lot.

"The hardship and everything I went through created the fire inside, people don't understand the woman I am." Claressa Shields Heavyweight Undisputed Champion In this powerful, no-holds-barred episode of The Pivot Podcast, the GWOAT herself—Claressa Shields—joins Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor for one of her most personal interviews to date. From surviving a tough upbringing in Flint, Michigan to becoming the only boxer—male or female—to be undisputed in two weight classes simultaneously, Claressa shares the raw truth behind her journey. She opens up about the pain that made her, the critics that tried to break her, and the constant pressure of being a Black woman at the top of one of the most male-dominated sports in the world. But it's not all about the ring. In a deeply personal moment, Claressa reveals the reason behind two of her early dreams: Becoming an Olympic medalist and buying a bed. Sleeping on the floor most of her childhood and always having to fight for acceptance led her to fight for what she wanted. Claressa also lets us in on her private life—specifically her relationship with rapper and hip-hop legend Papoose. She talks about the bond they've built, what his steady support means to her, and how love and loyalty outside the ring fuel her fight inside of it, even opening up on motherhood in the near future. It's a side of Claressa the public rarely sees—vulnerable, grounded, and deeply human. With her next undisputed title defense set for July 26 in Detroit, Claressa shares what's driving her into this fight, why it feels more personal than ever, and how she's staying focused amid everything—from family to fame to legacy. She addresses the critics who've downplayed her success, and the media that still tries to put limits on her greatness while acknowledging that her journey is a lot like her male counterpart, Terrance Bud Crawford, who she calls he twin, not just in the fight game but in life too. This isn't just another sports interview. It's a real conversation with one of the most dominant and dynamic athletes of our time—who's still fighting for her respect, her people, and her place in history. Learn more about your ad choices.

Gardner-Johnson sits down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder to open up like never before and sets record straight on many questions and rumors surrounding his name and image.

Off the bat, he addresses a recent rumor involving him and NY Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers and leaves no gray area on his side which leads into a deeper discussion around how C.J. is viewed in the NFL.

With rare vulnerability and honesty, CJ shares a powerful moment of remorse — expressing what he's sorry for and how he's grown from it. Now entering a new chapter with the Houston Texans, CJ talks about the delayed excitement of joining his new team and building a strong relationship with head coach DeMeco Ryans.

CJ talks about how he's ready to win and be a part of a young, hungry team with a fierce competitor as the team's leader in Quarterback CJ Stroud. Looking forward to his fresh start to help him mature further both as a player and as a man, CJ tells Ryan, Channing and Fred he's ready for this next chance to be the one where the noise around who he is on and off the field is finally quieted.

"When you went through what I went through, there's nothing to celebrate about that…I look back at all of it, there's nothing cool about it, I'm hurt from all of it. I have real trauma and pain inside of me from all of that.” Dejounte Murray In this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, NBA guard Dejounte Murray sits down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder for a raw, emotional, and reflective conversation on how as a young man he defied odds making it off the Seattle streets to becoming a basketball star to choosing an unlikely life path that forever changed him. Dejounte reveals what it was like growing up in a tough environment, detailing experiences with violence, homelessness, and parental incarceration as he shared how these hardships fueled his determination to succeed and provided the foundation for his resilience on and off the court. With pain and hurt in his voice, Dejounte find the words to share with the guys on the healing process of what he did in his early life, what he witnessed and how survivor's remorse eats at him, saying how everyone he knew from home is either in jail or deceased, and he starts most of his mornings by emailing his friends and relatives who are in prison. Overcoming the unimaginable as he explains how he went from catching a criminal case at 11 years old, to juvenile detention to playing one year of college basketball before being drafted in the first round by the San Antonio Spurs. Discussing his NBA journey and reflecting on lessons learned, Dejounte shares how instrumental his time was with the Spurs, specifically Coach Popovich, who was more than a coach and served as his first real father-figure guiding him through the ups and downs of life. He talked about the pressure of being a young player in a storied franchise, the complexities of team dynamics, transitioning to the Atlanta Hawks, dealing with injuries, setbacks and now trying to navigate life and basketball playing with the New Orleans Pelicans, his latest NBA home. Ryan gets into the growth and maturity sides of life, as Dejounte is unique in he doesn't drink, do drugs, party and very rarely seen outside in a public setting. Committed to his family, being a father and the game he loves so much, Dejounte isn't willing to risk any outside factor messing up this gift of life outside what he used to know and doesn't want anything to interfere with his healing. A heart-wrenching conversation at times, but one definitely worth listening to as Dejounte's courage to open up on overcoming life-changing obstacles, and the pivotal moments that shaped his path to success, will impact you in ways you never thought possible.

"Playing in the NFL is a privilege and if you don't take advantage of that privilege, you are going to lose it in a heartbeat." Jack Jones NFL Free Agent In this powerful and unfiltered episode of The Pivot Podcast, NFL free agent Jack Jones joins Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder to speak candidly about the road less traveled — a path marked by talent, turbulence, and turning points. Once a highly touted prospect with game-changing potential, Jack's NFL journey has been anything but smooth. From academic ineligibility at USC and legal trouble in college, to his surprising rise with the Patriots and a second chance in Las Vegas, Jack opens up like never before. Known for his electric plays and having some of his best games against the league's best in Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert...Jack is ready to get back on the field and show the world he's still that guy. With free agency looming and a chip on his shoulder, Jack talks about how he's stayed mentally tough, why he believes his best football is still ahead of him, and what it's really like trying to rebuild a reputation in a league that doesn't wait for anyone. He shares how poor decisions nearly derailed his career, the humbling reality of being waived, and how public criticism and personal reflection forced him to mature. Jack talks about the emotional toll of being misunderstood, the pressure of growing up fast in the NFL spotlight, and the accountability he's had to develop as a man off the field. Growing up in Long Beach had its fair share of challenges but having Snoop, a musical and cultural icon, be a mentor and leader in his football league, he understood that having a strong support system is what keeps you grounded. This isn't just a football conversation — it's about ownership, self-awareness, and rebuilding from the inside out. With his future in the league uncertain, Jack discusses how he's training harder than ever, shifting his mindset, and why he's now focused not just on proving people wrong, but proving himself right.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, AG Letitia James essentially just confessed to mortgage fraud. She said she made a mistake by putting Virginia down as her residence, but she's a liar. Year after year, she took the deduction because it was a mistake? In contrast, President Donald Trump followed legal protocols, paid taxes on time, and had verified property values, with Mar-A-Lago worth nearly $1 billion, not $18 million, and still, authorities denied him due process. Also, ESPN analyst Ryan Clark dismissed Robert Griffin III's opinions on the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese WNBA rivalry, citing Griffin's marriage to a white woman as a reason he lacks perspective on issues faced by black women in the league. Clark argued that Griffin's personal life limits his understanding of racial dynamics surrounding Clark's popularity, while also suggesting both players should be celebrated without pitting them against each other. This is disgusting. Afterward, in the chapter "On Rights" from “On Power, individual and human rights, liberty, and equality predate and do not originate from governments, as underscored by the Declaration of Independence. This principle, rooted in the belief that rights are God-given through natural law, distinguishes the U.S. from regimes like Qatar, communist China, Islamists, communists, fascists, and autocrats, as well as domestic democratic socialists. The Declaration of Independence, along with the Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts Declarations of Rights, reflects the consensus among American founders that these rights are unalienable, not granted or revocable by governments. Governments are instituted to secure these rights, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Later, Stephen A Smith calls in to discuss politics and sports. The Democratic Party marginalizes moderates, but they shouldn't be able to dictate who joins the party. The last person the Democrat voters chose was Barack Obama - outside that, the party chose the Presidential nominees, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Contrast that with the Republican Party, where the voters chose Trump in 2016. They didn't let the party pick their candidates. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: ihr.fm/3InlkL8 Is The Big Beautiful Bill Bloated? The hour kicks off with a detailed discussion of what President Donald Trump has dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping piece of legislation currently under debate on Capitol Hill. President Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, and other GOP leaders are rallying behind the bill, which includes major tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and incentives aimed at boosting the U.S. economy. The hosts predict the bill will pass, likening the political theatrics to previous debt ceiling and speaker vote showdowns. Key highlights of the bill include: Permanent extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts Elimination of taxes on tips Adjustments to SALT (state and local tax) deductions Phased elimination of EV and green energy tax credits Increased funding for defense and immigration enforcement Tightening of SNAP (food stamp) eligibility A $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling Buck Sexton shares insights from a recent interview with the head of the National Economic Council, emphasizing that the bill could result in $7,000–$12,000 in annual savings for the average American household. However, both hosts acknowledge conservative criticism over the bill’s lack of deeper spending cuts and its continuation of certain green energy subsidies. Democrats Don't Believe Illegal Immigration is a Crime Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dive deep into the explosive political and legal controversy surrounding Congresswoman LaMonica McIver’s arrest for allegedly obstructing ICE agents during a detention center visit. Hosts Clay and Buck analyze the implications of her actions, highlighting the irony of her past “no one is above the law” rhetoric—previously aimed at Donald Trump—now being turned against her. They explore the broader theme of political hypocrisy and the consequences of “lawfare,” emphasizing how Democrats are now facing the same legal tactics they once championed. The hour also features a sharp critique of the Democratic Party’s stance on illegal immigration. Clay and Buck argue that Democrats no longer view illegal immigration as a crime, citing McIver’s confrontation with ICE as emblematic of a broader ideological shift. They question why Democratic leaders prioritize the rights of non-citizens over the needs of underserved American communities, particularly Black constituents in urban districts like McIver’s New Jersey 10th, which is nearly 50% Black. The hosts suggest that this disconnect may be driving more minority voters toward the GOP, referencing recent political shifts in cities like New York and Chicago. Tom Homan, former acting ICE director, is featured in a clip reinforcing the legal boundaries McIver allegedly crossed, underscoring the seriousness of interfering with federal law enforcement. The discussion then pivots to the racial and ideological motivations behind Democratic immigration policies, with Buck asserting that modern leftist movements have replaced class solidarity with race-based solidarity, often to the detriment of their own constituents. This is a Crazy Story Clay and Buck dive into the intersection of sports, culture, and politics, delivering a compelling mix of commentary and breaking news. This hour kicks off with a heated discussion surrounding the viral WNBA incident involving Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, which sparked a broader cultural debate. The hosts analyze the fallout from ESPN personalities Robert Griffin III and Ryan Clark, highlighting the racial and personal tensions that erupted over a simple foul in a women’s basketball game. The segment underscores how Clark’s rising stardom is reshaping the WNBA and exposing underlying resentments within the league. The conversation transitions into a broader cultural critique, with Clay and Buck exploring how race, media narratives, and sports collide in today’s polarized environment. They draw parallels to historical moments in tennis and golf, emphasizing how stars like Serena Williams and Tiger Woods were embraced across racial lines—contrasting that with the current backlash against Clark. James Blair, WH Deputy Chief of Staff, on Clean Up in Aisle Biden The hosts welcome White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, who provides exclusive insights into the forthcoming “Big Beautiful Bill.” Blair outlines the bill’s key components, including historic middle-class tax cuts, increased border security funding, military modernization, and aggressive fiscal reforms aimed at reducing the national deficit. He also teases the potential announcement of the “Golden Dome” missile defense initiative, likened to Israel’s Iron Dome, as part of President Trump’s broader national security strategy.
