BONUS | The Pivot Podcast: Paul vs. Tyson
The Pivot Podcast with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder is on location in Dallas, Texas bringing you a conversation covering all the biggest headlines in sports, stories around the country and sharing our own experiences and outlooks getting through each day. Ryan, Channing, and Fred have lots to discuss ahead of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on Netflix, from the weigh-in to the main event, the guys break down why this fight is such a cultural moment, blending two generations in a genius way. Jake Paul’s leap from influencer to fighter and his faceoff with the iconic Mike Tyson is bold—will Jake handle the heat of Iron Mike’s legendary power, especially after that face-off slap? And let’s not forget, no matter his age, Tyson is still Tyson, and one uppercut could end it all.
But the guys don't just chop it up about tonight's main event—there’s a ton of sports news for them to cover in this 3-Man Show, brought to you in partnership with Fanatics. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is expected to be one of the top picks in the 2025 NFL draft, but his dad and head coach, Deion Sanders, revealed he plans to play a hand in ensuring his son lands in the right situation to shine. In a recent appearance on Speak, Coach Prime shared his intentions to get involved behind the scenes, sparking a spirited discussion from the guys. They weigh in on Deion’s parenting style, the balance of talent and opportunity, and the ever-present debate around nepotism in sports.
Speaking of legacy, Ryan, Fred, and Channing draw parallels to LeBron James and his son Bronny’s journey navigating the NBA and G-League. The pressure of living up to a legendary name and the spotlight that comes with it sparks a deeper discussion about what it really takes to succeed in professional sports. They keep it real about the fact that, at the end of the day, talent is the ultimate decider—and Bronny still has to prove himself ready to compete at the highest level. So where does he go from here?
The guys also touch on the aftermath of the recent election. While they don’t dive into the nitty-gritty of politics, they reflect on how they plan to make an impact in their communities and share lessons learned through their own journeys. From navigating the crazy road called life to inspiring the next generation, their insights go beyond sports. They also head back to one of their favorite places: the locker room. How has it evolved? How has social media changed the game? And what do they miss most about the brotherhood of their playing days? They share untold stories and dig into the importance of loyalty, trust, and community—both in and out of the game.
