    I just want to say thank you to The Pivot! They gave me the opportunity to conduct an interview with them last year. That interview was included in my portfolio for grad school. Last month, I was accepted to NYU with a full ride. When I got the call, the admission officer mentioned that interview. Again, thank you! Beyond that, the XFL is the first league to allow me to be beat reporter. I know they mentioned the XFL provides opportunities to coaches and players. It also offers opportunities to young reporters of color who dont have the credentials to get an NFL or NBA press pass to cover a professional sport.

    The Pivot embodies an excellence and humility that transcends any other interview format, sports or not. Each episode provides insight, transparency, vulnerability, and compassion not demonstrated any where else. Today it was special to experience people who delve into what they love while being human. Particularly impactful for me was the testimony of Coach Fred Kaiss and his love for what he gains from leading young men and is able to pour back into them without ever being a coach in the NFL. This version of the XFL will be successful because of the vision of ownership and the "Player 54" mantra, and partnering with the quality of humanity that makes up The Pivot. Well done, guys.

    First of all, I've only heard about XFL because I like The Rock and that's something he's very passionate about. However, if I may make a suggestion, I am Nigerian and live in Nigeria. I love American Football and Tom Brady is my GOAT, not just because he's won it all but because of his story arch. A sixth Round draft Pick that goes on to be the best in the Game. Unfortunately, we only watch NFL on ESPN 2 which most people don't even fuck with in Nigeria. This is my point, there's a growing market for American Football in Nigeria and Africa. I'm not just saying this because I love it but because I've been able to have great in-depth conversation about the Game with Random People which makes you understand that whilst they may not show it, there are people who love the Game. Also, American Football is distinctively different from anything we have here. It's gladatiorial and keeps you on the edge of your seat. My two cent is, XFL could look to take advantage of marketing and broadcasting to Africa since it seems like NFL isn't interested in it. You could even start have pre season games here. I understand the partnership with NFL and how you want to grow the Game but I believe a second league which is on par with NFL is possible with deft marketing and branding, and Africa is your leadway into that. It's a market that's not been tapped. Hopefully, The Rock sees this because I really hope he and his team makes XFL work this time. Just make sure my Pivot Uncles are part of this. Lastly, I'm enjoying this meteoric run for the Pivot. As someone who started from the first day off of the other platform, I'm happy at this growth: KZread and XFL. This is great! But I believe you should be thinking of the next level. We could have very Live event here on KZread on periodic periods, for now: Tuesdays and Fridays where you interact with guests and then have live question from fans. Also, once on a while, let it just be you three. You have great chemistry and I believe more people would want to see that explored outside of just talking to guests. I love you guys and I will do whatever is my part to make sure you succeed. Just don't give up or sell out on what you have. And stay true to yourselves and your friendships. Shalom.

    Really appreciate the whole Pivot team for showcasing the XFL, we all know the history but what we don't know is how it can grow and evolve in its current form, generally am rooting for the XFL's success. Most don't realize how many don't make the NFL, the XFL provides a 2nd chance or some cases an only chance for many that do not make active squads, this presents an imperative opportunity for players and coaches alike. Pivot team your whole squad is class act, huge fan , keep the content flowing

Im glad a league has come in focusing on these players. The play will be sloppy at first because they have to build up that consistency but as you see its gotten better in just one season. They wont be the nfl but they will have great games. Just watch.

    Another outstanding show, i anticipate every broadcast because i know you will have exciting guest. Listening to the interview, I feel like a player in the locker room or the guy on Injured Reserve; I'm not able to play but I know what's going on. R. C, I'm born and bred in The Steel City. I remember when The Chief would give us Boy Scouts tickets to pass out on Fifth and Forbes Ave when the Steelers played at Pitt Stadium. You're part of this historic franchise, and there are two former Steelers coaching in the XFL, Rod Woodson and Hines Ward. Is it possible to arrange interviews with them. Fred Taylor, I remember when Leon Searcy left Pittsburgh to become the Offensive Lineman you needed to open The Red Sea for you to run through it. The Jaguars under Tom Coughlin always gave the Steelers headaches Brother Channing, I don't recall you playing in Miami, perhaps it was because we were on Cloud Nine at the same time 😂😂😂😅. Again, I appreciate the outstanding guest and the transparent interviews you conduct; Keep On, Keeping On Brothers.
