Pivot Family! hit the button to SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnxiP7q4RDDyeioZFZLnXA?sub_confirmation=1 Football is BACK — and so are the hot takes, high stakes, and headline drama. Ryan, Channing and Fred break it all down in this unfiltered episode, where the Pivot keeps it real, even when it may be unpopular opinion or pointing the finger back at one of us! From the NFL kicking off with big energy to college ball having us amped to Charlamagne and Ciara clapping back at the world calling Russell Wilson “lame,” with Channing doubling down on his words that he said when this first all started. The guys weigh in on that situation as well as Ray Lewis stirring the pot with his thoughts on Shannon Sharpe, their longstanding bond — and how maybe speaking up on where others fall short isn't the right move, when people have come up short themselves. We get into the Sanders family, as things seem to be a little rocky with a lot of change Deion and sons continue to navigate public scrutiny, media firestorms and family pressures being in the spotlight. And we have varying viewpoints about Arch Manning’s college debut — is he truly the future, or just carrying a name? Ryan gives a unique perspective that we never realized. In other sports, we talk tennis as Taylor Townsend’s on-court flare-ups raise questions about emotion, pressure, and performance… and we spotlight a female athlete turning to OnlyFans to fund her tennis dream — is it empowerment, desperation, or both? We also break down the top NFL storylines to watch this season, the pivotal points that could define teams and careers, and the personal pivots that remind us all: growth isn’t always pretty and easy, but it’s necessary.

Russ is simply a reflection of his upbringing. His grandfather was the President of a HBCU, his dad was an attorney. His cultural experiences are just different and there is nothing wrong with that.

Fred is the man. He is very thoughtful and calculated about what he says. You need people like him on TV instead of people like Steven A Smith, Skip Bayless, etc.

I think Russell Wilson is more polished and sophisticated than the Urban Cool Dudes; Russell Wilson is a brother with poise and is very mature...
