"There are 32 teams right now that really believe they can win the superbowl. Yall know that number is about 6...But the fandom is what fuels this game and I love it." 

On this episode of The Pivot in partnership with Fanatics, Football is back and so are the guys after a whirlwind of NFL training camp shows, and we are ready to dive into the new football season. After traveling from locker room to locker room and off the heels of the opener Kansas City Chiefs vs. Baltimore Ravens- Ryan, Fred, and Channing share their thoughts and predictions for the next 6 months!

With some NFL mainstays absent from the sidelines this season, there is a lot of excitement around new faces of franchises with the league’s rise of black quarterbacks. For the first time, it's nearly a 50/50 split between black and white starting QBs and the guys discuss how this is long overdue and an exciting shift on the playing field and how the 2 kick off games featured teams with black quarterbacks. The match up between Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson didn’t disappoint and if the first game is a preview of what’s in store for the season, it’s going to be a wild one! 

The conversation takes a turn as Ryan opens up about the unfortunate shooting of San Francisco Rookie Wide Receiver, Ricky Pearsall, as Ricky is one of RC’s son’s best friends and although he survived, Ryan and guys share their personal perspective and discuss questions surrounding the incident.

Understanding how much can change in an instance, the guys reflect on how they want to be remembered and what kind of legacy they want to leave behind as men, husbands and fathers as they discuss the levels of growth and things they do now that they didn’t before or wish they could have done differently. Powerful words shared as vulnerability and accountability are at the core of their conversation.
