"We got robbed in Vegas" The past few days are a reminder that evil doesn't sleep, no matter how happy of a moment it may be, there is always the lingering threat that someone is ready to seize that freedom. The guys unravel their thoughts and feelings from the emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows around Super Bowl week which should never have such lows attached to the experience.
Ryan Channing and Fred get together this week to chat about the Super Bowl and the events around it, as well as talk about the reality of the once unimaginable tragic moments becoming too frequent as they try to wrap their heads around the recent shooting and the loss of lives at the Kansas City Super Bowl Parade.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones of the woman who lost her life during a senseless act on Wednesday afternoon and the multiple people and young ones who were injured during the parade in Kansas City when gun shots were fired and crowds of people scrambled to safety. We applaud the Chiefs players and coaching staff who helped people to safety and the law enforcement who sprung into action to prevent further tragedy. The guys discuss the tragic and all too familiar scene of shootings and how the value of someone's life has become to easy to sacrifice when people get into situations that this result becomes the answer is not ok. Understanding how a celebratory day now is tainted by loss and fear for innocent people around the world who have to ask and think is it safe to go out in public now? Ryan says how evil doesn't sleep and people will always allow their selfishness to prevail in times it shouldn't and Fred says how we take for granted waking up and returning home everyday as the world is a different place now.
Getting into the game and the defensive battle between the 49ers and Chiefs, Channing and Fred talk about the chess match but also push back on the lack of running plays in the first half when San Fran had control to do what they do best. Ryan looks at the big picture and reality of Patrick Mahomes etching his name in history as one of the greatest athletes ever to show up in big moments and perform under pressure. Putting him on the level of Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter, Alex Ovechkin, Floyd Mayweather...Mahomes is one of the rarities we've seen in our era of professional athletes.
Before the big game was the big week, with parties, media, events and one of the Pivot's first live shows was 3 days before the game where the guys sat down with athletes, businessmen and entertainers for shows in front of an audience discussing current topics to sports moments. But in a split moment, all of that was gone and attention turned to creating great content to losing everything as the production crew was robbed of the equipment, footage, gear and once again reality crept in as the guys talk about how letting guard down for instance became a crime of opportunity for others. Ryan, Channing and Fred give praise to the Las Vegas Police Department and the detectives who worked tirelessly around the clock to bring the guy into custody and return some of the stolen items while also using the moment to discuss how relationships with law enforcement doesn't always have to be a negative experience.
As football season comes to an end, Channing and Ryan reflect on season one of Inside The NFL while Ryan opens up on the bittersweet process of his ESPN contract being up and what's next for him whether he re-signs with the network or tests the waters on his own. Both Channing and Fred weigh in on the personal sacrifices they've watched him make to dedicate himself to his work and Ryan understands how much he's grown and is committed to continue to put the work in wherever that may be.
With the stolen footage back in The Pivot's possession...stay tuned for some unbelievable conversations releasing over the next couple weeks with shows that are some of the best and most impactful we've done as a group. Happy Friday Pivot Family, enjoy the holiday wknd, hug your loved ones and continue to be grateful every time you wake up and return home!

[@lemardunn4639]

Ryan, Sir Let me tell you something. It's going to be sad to see you leave ESPN. But like you said in so many words. You have to do what you have to do, not just for yourself but for your family. You are not the one who's losing, but they are. To me you were one of the realest and honest men to hear & listen to. Somebody is going to pay you what you are worth. Just hang in there because God doesn't look over hard work. These last 3 years are going to make you better and stronger. Peace and much love my guy

[@bdubs532]

Ryan just shouted the same old takes regardless of facts or not

[@tammyboon6259]

I wholeheartedly agree!!!! He will most definitely be missed!!!! I hope somehow they keep him BUT like u said if they don't, it's theirs loss!!!

[@D_A_Marv]

"Pray up when you wake up" Well said Fred! I love when they give each other their flowers. It's a beautiful thing!

[@holdup1690]

Speaking of robbed….Freddie T was robbed again by the “Hall of fame”

[@chase5835]

To be fair this was a tough class to get in. Antonio Gates didn’t even get in and he has like the 7th most receiving TDs EVER

[@Bruss813]

Pat Willis and Calvin Johnson got in so Kuechly could get in.

[@UncleNahshon]

Exactly. What reason is Uncle Freddie not in? He’s got the stats. He wasn’t a trouble maker. Just shows these voters are biased.

[@JDub0623]

💯👏🙌📢.. This was a stacked class & also Antonio Gates in no scenario should not be a first ballot HOFer, but to your point, Fred Taylor belongs in Canton.

[@darryls2141]

RC is always on point-

i’ll def be watching the pivot more

[@stephaniewarfield4884]

Thanks for covering the shooting. I considered attending the parade, but ended up not going. My family, including my 10 yr old nephew was there. In fact, they had no idea they were in danger until it was over. They thought it was fireworks and one of the perpetrators actually bumped into them as he was running from the cops. While I'm thankful my fam is safe, my heart goes out to all the victims, especially the lady who lost her life. Continued prayers for her loved ones.

[@raymondmorgan5876]

22:50 Wake up, pray up and step out on faith. Leave the rest up to GOD.Great outstanding advice.

[@KimTurnerLLC]

Thank you Channing, Ryan , and Fred for the shout out the LVMPD!

[@TerraTB1]

A man with few words. Fred is hitting hard straight Fact. Thank you fellas for a great podcast.

[@MC-sj2ji]

I agree with Chan, great super bowl. I love a defensive high level football game. I kept telling my wife that this is football the way it should be played.

[@sherrigrant573]

I so agree with the defensive football. Fantasy has ruined it

[@tammyboon6259]

I hear you!!! Some citizens Pat that their offense didn't score more against the Ravens?!?! I remember saying, "The last I.checked a game is about BOTH the offense & defense!!!! ( I do think chess & boxing have comparisons!!!). Shaddy whose played for Coach Reid said, how he know how to or when to save a play, & use it at the right time, referring to the Tom & Jerry last play!!! And how if he had used it earlier in the game, the 49ers would've known after that what the play was & what to do as defense. In boxing u wear ur opponent down!!! If u watch the mic'd up version of the game, there's a point in the game when Chris Jones is talking to the defense players. Suddenly motivating the guys as the 49ers were wearing down, Chris said to them, "That's ALL they got!!!" Meaning we've got it from here!!!!

[@antoinettesingh9755]

God’s grace and merciful protection be with you 3 guys as you continue to provide great content. Much love to the entire Pivot crew. 😊

[@farmerz97]

I love the honesty and respect these men have for each other.

[@davidestick9936]

Love Fred’s quote on politics. The very nature of the word goes against the honesty and transparency we demand from them

[@sandyhill1227]

Fred’s comments always on target ❤

[@anthonyvanburen3998]

All of you guys are great for real. RC is one of the best if not the best analyst on ESPN. They don’t deserve you. Stand on your purpose.

[@dylanehle6816]

Fred Taylor is the best! Always love seeing him on Pivot

[@imanbolden8968]

So many people in this country continue to have a philosophical conversation about gun violence, but at the end of the day if guns weren't so prevalent in this country we would see fewer killings. We gotta stop relying on celebrities and athletes to make a difference and we need to start holding lawmakers responsible. God help us! Love Pivot Podcast ❤

[@yvonkahaddock8398]

There is a reason why I always tune in because u gentlemen push the conversation forward even when it’s uncomfortable.thank u

[@Venom316]

Fred is absolutely right! Pray up when you wake up and step out on faith. We have to take ownership over our own safety and not rely on government or even police to protect us.

[@cpeezy02]

And Fred as sad as it is, you have to always keep your situation on you. Never know what could happen.

[@kathypinkard14]

I love Channing truth teller authentic doesn’t care he is enjoying life

[@abutler4267]

Oh my gosh that ending. Channing, you are a nut.

[@pakONEoh]

Their perspective on murder and criminal behavior is informed by their personal exposure and experience with trauma. It's unfortunate that it has led to seeing it hopeless and a simple matter of life. I still love these dudes! They are 💯 solid!!! ✊🏿

[@tammyboon6259]

Yea, I thought the same thing actually!!! I was kinda sad by a fatalistic mentality, though I can completely understand it!!! BUT more has to be done!!!! The late Congressman John Lewis' & the courage, hope & the indomitable spirit he had, will forever be something that I remind myself of & the philosophy he lived by!!!!

[@tommclain8893]

Fred, Amen, I start my day praying for ALL to return home safely along with many personal prayers. Pivot needed conversation.

[@meagantrippleton1431]

It’s really sad that the shooting happened. The chiefs and their fans should’ve been able to celebrate their superbowl win. I hope that everyone in Kansas City is okay ☹️. Love the podcast you I hope you guys have a good day/weekend ❤

Most importantly God is there with you He is your agent, counselor, your all in all. If God is for you who can be against you. ESPN let's do right by him. He is worth what he is asking for and some.

[@angelalaudenslager27]

It goes back to what RC said people don’t get their ass’s whooped anymore. They can’t just get in fist fights. They have to pull out guns or knives. People’s sense of heart, respect, and just caring for others have gone away. And if that’s not taught to people when they are young then these things will keep happening. It’s a very sad world we live in. People even drive their cars through parades now killing people.

[@dwightbaptist]

It's great to hear you guys got your stuff back. My Kids and I were robbed in Vegas 2 months prior. Funny part about it I took my kids out there to get their minds off their mom's death 3 weeks before we went to Vegas. Unfortunately we didn't get nearly as much attention or cooperation right after they stole our belongings. Obviously that's a child that regardless of your mother's death life and its calamities still exist and continue. Prayerfully LVPD will help us one day find our items and give us closure on such a heinous act. But until then we'll clap for you guys' win in hopes that one day someone will celebrate a win for me and my kids

[@aamaker1001]

RC is the true definition of integrity!

[@KS_1995]

Thank you guys for talking about it. The crazy thing is it was at the end when it was less crowded. We all thought it was fireworks, even the people around it didn’t react. I’ve never seen that many emergency vehicles. Absolutely terrible, fortunately the 9 children taken to Children’s Mercy are doing ok. 900 law enforcement members, snipers on the roof, and people still have the nuts to do this. I was pleasantly surprised that more fights didn’t break out as there were 1mm people in this crowd with tempers flared and people pushing nonstop for 5 hours. I truly believe KS/MO being open carry states probably helped minimize confrontation.

[@pokermaster4188]

Hope you guys get some legendary guests on this offseason

I am new to your channel and I fully enjoyed this episode. The gun talk made me think of the state of large events in America - try to avoid them as much as possible. Multiply your discussion points by 1000 and that is how women have to operate on a daily basis. The discussion of the media business was so fascinating as well.

[@brandond2233]

“Sean sat back watched the film and said I can win with that” RC crazy 🤣🤣🤣

[@KeyAirAngelsTV]

I understand children and women were there. But it really bothers me how often we just discard men being in danger right along with everybody else. Men could have been shot and killed too. Why don't we ever mention them? Even our own men devalue other men by mentioning there were children and women there. And not mentioning the men that could have been mowed down. Men were the ones who tackled the shooters and we don't mention it once. That really bothers me. Men are just as important and deserve to be cared about and spoken about in times of danger too.

[@rickeymickeyii4166]

Because most of the time it’s us taking lives, simple. I get what you saying but it’s our role to protect those that may not be able to protect themselves. Since the beginning of time tbh

[@KeyAirAngelsTV]

@@rickeymickeyii4166 im fine if people say "innocent men, women, and children." But to say there were women there, there were children there, there were elderly there. Like damn Bro what about my 24 yr old male cousin that was there? He was in just as much danger as anybody else. But we're so conditioned to devalue men's lives. It's really unfortunate.
