"We got robbed in Vegas" The past few days are a reminder that evil doesn't sleep, no matter how happy of a moment it may be, there is always the lingering threat that someone is ready to seize that freedom. The guys unravel their thoughts and feelings from the emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows around Super Bowl week which should never have such lows attached to the experience.
Ryan Channing and Fred get together this week to chat about the Super Bowl and the events around it, as well as talk about the reality of the once unimaginable tragic moments becoming too frequent as they try to wrap their heads around the recent shooting and the loss of lives at the Kansas City Super Bowl Parade.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones of the woman who lost her life during a senseless act on Wednesday afternoon and the multiple people and young ones who were injured during the parade in Kansas City when gun shots were fired and crowds of people scrambled to safety. We applaud the Chiefs players and coaching staff who helped people to safety and the law enforcement who sprung into action to prevent further tragedy. The guys discuss the tragic and all too familiar scene of shootings and how the value of someone's life has become to easy to sacrifice when people get into situations that this result becomes the answer is not ok. Understanding how a celebratory day now is tainted by loss and fear for innocent people around the world who have to ask and think is it safe to go out in public now? Ryan says how evil doesn't sleep and people will always allow their selfishness to prevail in times it shouldn't and Fred says how we take for granted waking up and returning home everyday as the world is a different place now.
Getting into the game and the defensive battle between the 49ers and Chiefs, Channing and Fred talk about the chess match but also push back on the lack of running plays in the first half when San Fran had control to do what they do best. Ryan looks at the big picture and reality of Patrick Mahomes etching his name in history as one of the greatest athletes ever to show up in big moments and perform under pressure. Putting him on the level of Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter, Alex Ovechkin, Floyd Mayweather...Mahomes is one of the rarities we've seen in our era of professional athletes.
Before the big game was the big week, with parties, media, events and one of the Pivot's first live shows was 3 days before the game where the guys sat down with athletes, businessmen and entertainers for shows in front of an audience discussing current topics to sports moments. But in a split moment, all of that was gone and attention turned to creating great content to losing everything as the production crew was robbed of the equipment, footage, gear and once again reality crept in as the guys talk about how letting guard down for instance became a crime of opportunity for others. Ryan, Channing and Fred give praise to the Las Vegas Police Department and the detectives who worked tirelessly around the clock to bring the guy into custody and return some of the stolen items while also using the moment to discuss how relationships with law enforcement doesn't always have to be a negative experience.
As football season comes to an end, Channing and Ryan reflect on season one of Inside The NFL while Ryan opens up on the bittersweet process of his ESPN contract being up and what's next for him whether he re-signs with the network or tests the waters on his own. Both Channing and Fred weigh in on the personal sacrifices they've watched him make to dedicate himself to his work and Ryan understands how much he's grown and is committed to continue to put the work in wherever that may be.
With the stolen footage back in The Pivot's possession...stay tuned for some unbelievable conversations releasing over the next couple weeks with shows that are some of the best and most impactful we've done as a group. Happy Friday Pivot Family, enjoy the holiday wknd, hug your loved ones and continue to be grateful every time you wake up and return home!

Ryan, Sir
Let me tell you something. It's going to be sad to see you leave ESPN. But like you said in so many words. You have to do what you have to do, not just for yourself but for your family. You are not the one who's losing, but they are. To me you were one of the realest and honest men to hear & listen to. Somebody is going to pay you what you are worth. Just hang in there because God doesn't look over hard work. These last 3 years are going to make you better and stronger.
Peace and much love my guy -

Thank you, pivot, for not blaming our city/team for the individual choice. We still stand for love in Kansas City, aka the Kingdom

I agree with Chan, great super bowl. I love a defensive high level football game. I kept telling my wife that this is football the way it should be played.
-
Thanks for covering the shooting. I considered attending the parade, but ended up not going. My family, including my 10 yr old nephew was there. In fact, they had no idea they were in danger until it was over. They thought it was fireworks and one of the perpetrators actually bumped into them as he was running from the cops. While I'm thankful my fam is safe, my heart goes out to all the victims, especially the lady who lost her life. Continued prayers for her loved ones.
-
I love the honesty and respect these men have for each other.
