Pivot Family! hit the button to SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUnxiP7q4RDDyeioZFZLnXA?sub_confirmation=1 “This isn’t Little League, there’s no rule we all have to line up and shake hands.” Ryan Clark  Special Friday Pivot honoring our history on this Juneteenth as we head to the wknd capped with Father's Day...ya know the time we are supposed to be celebrating as dads--but in pure Channing fashion, He marks it as the dumbest holiday on the calendar! We get into why he feels that way and talking so much more as Chan, Fred and Ryan start the convo fired up about a legendary summer of sports heating up— with underdogs becoming icons, Knicks championship unifying the city that doesn’t sleep, and the World Cup action kicking off being everything it’s promised to be!  Checking out FIFA favorite on the pitch to the growing conversation around Victor Wembanyama, respect among competitors, and where sportsmanship fits in today's game. The conversation takes a turn as the guys discuss the things we struggle to tell our families and the people closest to us, the emotions we carry in silence, and why vulnerability remains one of the hardest challenges for men. The guys reflect on the passing of their fellow teammate and friend Aldon Smith, the pressures athletes face long after the cameras stop rolling, and why mental health conversations need to move beyond headlines and hashtags.  And as we head into the weekend of Dad’s, Ryan, Channing, and Fred chat fatherhood, family, and the realities of being the men their kids count on. Channing gets personal about his father's impact on his life and the funny memories they made together in his final days.  From laughs and locker-room stories to honest conversations about grief, family, purpose, and fatherhood, this is one of those episodes that reminds you why The Pivot is more than a sports podcast—it's three men trying to make sense of life in real time.

Everyone sees a mother's love but nobody appreciates a father's sacrifice

Generally speaking, probably on Father's Day, however, I go HARD for my Dad, Father's Day, birthday, and just because days. My Dad has been "that" dude. He has been to me and my siblings what many mother's are - EXTREMELY involved, nurturing, that field trip parent, and fathered many beyond biology showing up in the community and for his family.

My Dad was the best. He was my main caretaker: He took me to college with him for four years before I went to school myself, he was the "sole parent" for a least 3 years when my mother went to another city to work; he helped get through college myself, as a single parent. He was my rock and I miss him so much. When he was alive, I made sure he got and did whatever he wanted for Father's Day. (In my mind, Father's Day was more than one day a year). Love you, Dad.

My dad (technically my stepdad, but we've never used that word) is simply the best. He married my mom before I was born and has never once dropped the ball. We've been through everything together—marriage, pregnancy, a TBI, six brain surgeries, and all the ups and downs life could throw at us. Even after he and my mom divorced, he never left me. He has always been my dad, and he always will be. I love him so much that my husband and I named our son after him so his name would live on through another generation. Now, I will admit he's probably tired of my gifts—I've been buying that man a tie for every holiday since I was 10 years old. 😂 These days, we're locked in a dead heat competition to see who can get to the carpool first to pick up my grandbaby. Some things never change. Love you, Dad. Thank you for showing me what unconditional love, consistency, and fatherhood truly look like. ❤
