Podcast appearances and mentions of Troy Aikman

If you want uncommon results, you have to live by uncommon standards, especially on the days you do not feel like showing up. In this mashup episode, I'm bringing together some of the most disciplined competitors and leaders I've ever sat down with to break down what consistency and commitment really look like when the lights are off and no one is clapping. You're going to hear from people who have won at the highest levels of sports, business, leadership, and life, and every one of them shares the same truth. Success is not built in moments. It is built in habits. Troy Aikman takes us inside what it really means to be trusted as a leader when everything is on the line. He shares why the greats are never outworked, how daily preparation creates belief inside a locker room, and why commitment is proven long before game day. Jim Rome brings his trademark intensity and clarity, challenging the excuses we make and exposing why most people talk about wanting it but never back it up with action. His message is simple and uncomfortable. Consistency is not sexy, but it is undefeated. Gerard Adams opens up about discipline in entrepreneurship and why momentum is built by honoring small promises to yourself every single day. Dabo Swinney shares how faith, standards, and consistency shape culture, not just wins, and why who you become matters more than what you achieve. And Mark “The Undertaker” Calaway gives one of the most powerful reminders you will ever hear about longevity, professionalism, and showing up prepared for decades, not seasons. This episode is about doing the work when motivation fades. It is about staying committed when results are slow. And it is about building a life you can count on because you have become someone who can be counted on. If you feel stuck, inconsistent, or frustrated with your progress, this conversation will reset your standards and remind you what winning actually requires. You do not need more inspiration. You need more follow through. This episode will challenge you to raise your standards, lock in your habits, and finally live with the level of commitment your goals demand. Key Takeaways: Why consistency beats talent every single time How elite leaders earn trust through daily preparation The difference between being interested and being committed Why small habits done daily create massive long term momentum How discipline creates confidence even before results show up What it really takes to sustain excellence over decades, not months ⁠

Gary & Shannon open the show with Gary’s take on All Her Fault, which Shannon insists is really a husband-appreciation series. They jump into surprise athletic comeback chatter — from Philip Rivers and Tom Brady to a mysteriously shredded Troy Aikman — all showcasing that signature “laser-eye” focus. They then break down President Trump’s new legislation aimed at speeding up U.S. AI development, explaining why the White House wants federal agencies to push back on state-level regulation and what it could mean for the tech industry. NewsNation’s Robert Sherman joins to discuss rising tensions with Venezuela and his new book Lessons from the Front. The hour wraps with holiday chaos involving Fonzy and Sprinkles — with Gary blaming Shannon for the mess — plus a look at why modern job titles are getting harder to explain in an AI-driven world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JR on Philip Rivers' press conference with the Colts ahead of his potential NFL return. | Pete Fiutak from CollegeFootballNews.Com joins JR to talk all things college football! | Troy Aikman is mad about NIL. |

Dr. Robert Klapper from Cedars-Sinai stops by and talks about why it's risky for 44-year-old Philip Rivers to step on an NFL field again at his age - plus the extent of Justin Herbert's surgery with screws and plates! Troy Aikman says he's done with NIL after a UCLA player took his money and left - and the guys both have thoughts on this happening to so many NIL donors. Kap has been watching the Diddy documentary on Netflix and everyone else on the show is astonished at how little Kap knew about this time in pop culture… But even crazier, Kap is apparently new to Walmart in his Dealer's Choice presented by Sellers Advantage!

To open the show, Henry and Lindsey discuss Troy Aikman's recent comments regarding NIL. He gave money to a UCLA player and heard nothing from the player who ended up transferring after one year. Personal responsibility, program expectations and respect for opportunity are discussed. Then, we go behind the scenes at Ariana Bistro and Spicy Feta with Yamah Sadozai and Chris Ahmansta.

The guys discuss some miscellaneous topics from the NFL and college football.

   Who even knew T-Mobile still had 3500 employees at 119th and Nall in Overland Park at what used to be the Sprint Campus?  Well, the Royals now  controll it all and T-Mobile says the owners are not allowing T-Mobile to stay after their lease expires in 2029.  We all know what that means.    Trump's talking affordability as drivers line up around the country for really, really cheap gas.    The J6 bomber, Brian Cole Jr, is a bit of a gender twisted man as he spent hours and hours online as a "Brony."  You won't believe what this is.    Consumers complain Instacart is gouging them, I have a solution for them.    The Royals get a rare off season win in the draft lottery as the draw for position moved the team up 10 spots in the draft.  What a gift!   Philip Rivers is back as he signs on to the practice squad for the Colts.  Oregon's QB is threatening to not play in the college playoff first round game.  Big 12 commish  Brett Yormark blasts the AD at Notre Dame.  Troy Aikman cuts off UCLA and Bill Self names his MVP so far this season.   Our Final Final is what Amelia Earhart's mom thought happened to her daughter in 1937.

The hour kicks off with Boomer hilariously comparing the band GWAR to the Ninja Turtles and Kiss. Then, a caller brings the focus back to Mets anxiety: losing homegrown Pete Alonso would hurt worse than any free-agent miss. As Boomer assures listeners the Mets will spend, Jerry returns with an update featuring Sal Licata shouting "Good Riddance" to Edwin Díaz and an infuriated Frank The Tank. Closing the hour, Troy Aikman blasts the state of NIL, revealing he's "done" giving money after not even receiving a thank you note. Utah sells a piece of its athletic department to a private equity firm.

Hollywood's Headlines includes Troy Aikman stepping away from NIL, Sydney Sweeny being announced as the next Sports Illustrated cover star, a wild story about a man on a cruise who consumed 33 drinks and ended up stuffed in a fridge, and the Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch hat selling for $500K.

Hour 2 focuses on Joe's take that the NBA Cup “doesn't move the needle” for him as the league struggles with effort issues, from a lackluster All-Star Game to LeBron never doing the dunk contest — a spotlight that G-League players have been stealing in recent years. The conversation then pivots to college football, previewing the playoff chaos with JMU and Tulane representing the “little guy” and Ole Miss making the CFP without Lane Kiffin. Joe and Hollywood also praise Brian Hartline, who is juggling finishing his OC duties at Ohio State while preparing to take over as USF head coach, and preview the Dolphins gearing up for Monday Night Football against the Steelers. The hour wraps with Hollywood's Headlines, covering Troy Aikman being done with NIL, Sydney Sweeney landing the next Sports Illustrated cover, a wild cruise story, and the Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch hat selling for $500K

“The most dangerous person is one who truly believes in himself..." Darren Woodson 3x Super Bowl Champion It's Thanksgiving week and we have a lot to be grateful for Pivot Family and can't celebrate this holiday without talking about gratitude, family and of course football. And when we talk Thanksgiving football- we have to talk Dallas Cowboys. In this episode of The Pivot Podcast, Cowboys star Darren Woodson joins Ryan, Channing, and Fred for a raw, unfiltered conversation that dives deep into the dynasty years in Dallas and the life lessons that shaped him on and off the field. Known as one of the toughest safeties to ever play the game, Woodson pulls back the curtain on what it was really like lining up alongside legends like Deion Sanders, Larry Allen, Michael Irvin. and Troy Aikman during one of the most iconic eras in NFL history. Woodson brings the locker room to life with stories of competing with Irvin's relentless intensity, Aikman's leadership standard, Deion's unmatched swagger, and the brotherhood that held the team together through championship runs. He also shares his firsthand perspective on the infamous Leon Lett Thanksgiving game moment, revealing how it felt on the field, how the team reacted, and why that play became one of the most unforgettable—and teachable—moments in Cowboys history but also a defining moment of who Jimmy Johnson is not just as a coach but a man. He speaks candidly of Jerry Jones and shares insight that we don't see as we often criticize and publicize the way he has built one of the most profound sports organizations. Beyond the highlights and headlines, Woodson opens up about identity, transitions, fatherhood, and building a purpose-driven life after football. From the mental toughness learned on the gridiron to the vulnerability required in the next chapters of his life, this episode shows Darren Woodson as more than a three-time Super Bowl champion—he's a leader still evolving. Authentic, emotional, and full of championship-level storytelling, this conversation is a must-listen for fans of the game and anyone striving to redefine themselves beyond their greatest successes. It's a masterclass in resilience and reinvention from one of the league's all-time great competitors.
