“Without great critics, you’ve had no great successes.” Ryan Clark
Today's episode hits close to home, and is personal for us but also powerful. We always ask our guests what is their biggest Pivot, and now we are asking Ryan to share his after the past few days of things transpiring with the way they have.
On Monday July 20, 2026, Ryan was let go from ESPN while on air, mid show of NFL Live...from that moment on it's been a rollercoaster of emotions, and events as the news began to travel around the sports world but Ryan has remained quiet as he's processed the news and appreciated the outpour of support.
Fred and Channing sit with Ryan for a deeply personal conversation, the guys discuss what happened, if there were signs, how it TRULY went down and the aftermath of what it all means. Only how he can do, Ryan puts words to perspective from the past decade of work, specifically the past year, and sets the record straight on what really transpired with certain instances that other media continues to point out. With ESPN having the Super Bowl this season, the decision comes at an unusual time and shocking move to many...but did RC see it coming?
Doing what our platform does best, the guys create a space for the vulnerability of the situation, Ryan's reflection, the emotional side, cultural impact and asks if Ryan has anything he wishes he would have done differently that may have changed the end result. Extremely personal discussion, that's raw, authentic and true to who we are as men.
We appreciate you Pivot Family for rocking with us and for the unconditional support that allows our platform to be what it is today.
