Pivot Family! hit the button to SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnxiP7q4RDDyeioZFZLnXA?sub_confirmation=1 "Don't confuse sacrifice and discipline with suffering." Ryan Clark Where did the time go? 2025 is wrapping up as we get ready to embrace the new endeavors, challenges and our biggest pivots that lie ahead in 2026! Ryan, Channing and Fred close out the year reflecting on the past 12 months of sports' biggest stories, headlines that dominated our feeds and personal milestones we embraced. We take account of our own self growth, missteps and ways we want to be better going forward knowing that perfection is an illusion, discipline and sacrifice are required for success and we take deep dive into the chaotic sports world. FBI takes on sports gambling, Luka trade to Dallas, Micah Parsons to Green Bay, Kansas City misses postseason, Travis Kelce, Shedeur Sanders frenzy and the fall of Sean Diddy Combs...2025 had it's share of the unexpected and we discuss the impact of it all while the guys keep it real on the current state of the NFL. Channing says how the AFC North isn't what it used to be, Ryan says DK Metcalf incident could cost the Steelers their season and Fred weighs in on the possible end of the Chiefs dynasty. Pivoting to family, we talk about the vulnerable sides of parenting, from walking the line between wanting the best for our kids to pushing them too hard and how in the end happiness is the only true measure of how it turns out. Avoiding to set goals isn't always a bad thing while giving ourselves grace to make mistakes is how we've learned best. We also have a little fun talking about some viral fun scenarios and how we would respond to a wife's last wishes of a "casket pass". Pivot Family thank you for all the support, all the comments, the likes and follows- being on this journey with us means the world and we look forward to bringing more impactful conversations, stories and authentic content in 2026- Happy New Year, may it be filled with good health, family, memories and happiness.  GET MERCH HERE: https://www.pivotpodcast.com FOLLOW THE PIVOT PODCAST: INSTAGRAM | https://instagram.com/thepivot TWITTER | https://twitter.com/thepivot TIKTOK | https://tiktok.com/@thepivot FACEBOOK | https://facebook.com/thepivotpodcast SPOTIFY | https://open.spotify.com/show/5KtXTWiC3J5WW1CVTpYG5V APPLE PODCASTS | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pivot-podcast/id1603292451 #ThePivot #Podcast #RyanClark #ChanningCrowder #FredTaylor #NFL

Like Mike Tyson said social media has given losers a platform to be disrespectful without repercussions

I found The Pivot this year, I thought it was “just” another sport’s podcast, but it was so much more. It’s about friendships, and legends from all aspects of life, it’s about kindness, and hard work. I lost two life long friends in 2 months this summer. One had been a friend since early childhood, the other was a co-worker who became a best friend for over 30 years. Two months after that I learned my cancer had metastasized. Life is hard, you guys made it better, shined some light on things that mattered. I’m grateful. ❤ BTW - it never fails when I’m wearing my Pivot cap, I get asked about it, and the comments are always positive!

No way in hell The Pivot shouldn’t be top ten. Should be top 5. Literally the best podcast out here. I need to go see who made the top ten.

Started 2025 with the goal of of my family becoming debt free! Accomplished in September! I found that the goal was not unachievable. Now, it’s on to wealth building and legacy changing for my kids and future family. And most importantly, we did it God’s way by using Biblical principles.

Shout-out to Fred for keeping that discipline and not giving into the pressure of people trying to get him to drink. Congrats on the sobriety dude! Props to the rest of yall for keeping each other held accountable and making sure your people's are good. Can't wait to see what you guys accomplish in 2026 🤙
