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 rock took over that intro like Shannon Sharpe did Tony Gonzalez on the Nfl Films Tight End show😂😂😂😂
Love the XFL. Can’t wait till tomorrow night’s championship game on ABC
Congratulations Renegades and Luis perez!!
I want to see Nick Saban, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed just to name a few on this show! Love coach Gregg’s interview.
The XFL is highly underrated currently. It is a good product that provides a chance to guys who want and need it. And you can see in D.C. and St. Louis how it matters to the city and the fans. Congrats on the Pivot getting in on this!
I was at a total loss over this XFL. These interviews were educational, revealing, entertaining, informative, and awe inspiring. Because of the due diligence that seems to be given in preparation to put out a "great product", I truly hope that it is a success. Once again thank you Pivot People for bringing this to the forefront. Awesome job once again!!!!
It's insane to see both the XFL and the Pivot, these sort of "grassroots movements" shine like this. The levels of quality of coverage, entertainment, professionalism, and organization is actually insane to think about.
Shoutout to the XFL for giving these players a chance to keep developing while making money and hopefully being able to get a chance in the NFL!!!!!

Ryan is undeniably one of the best. He is a guy made for tv that is killing the podcast game. The pivot is killing it
Pivot - because of today’s showcase of the XFL, I plan to catch the championship game tomorrow. Should be fun.
Glad the Pivot did this. I love the XFL. I went to 5 of the 6 DC Defenders home games this year. Had fun every time.

@swac buzz how exciting were those games? They looked like it was more exciting that some Commanders game.
Let’s go! Amazing episode! The Rock is the man, one of my all time favorite WWE superstars and movie actors, he’s such a humble respectful guy, thanks for having him on 😊
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.
Dont know nothing about the xfl, but like listening to these dudes. Knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining
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.
Felt like a mini version of a SportsCenter interview I love it you guys are doing great content ❤
Its so Nice seeing FREDDY T gets his flowers from coaches. absolutely love seeing it
I am very excited and impressed with the PIVOT. Damn near every single episode gets better and better. I'll be paying attention to the XFL more often.
The best way to grow that XFL social media….this is epic
Keep up the work on the Pivot, Ryan, Channing and Fred make me feel like I am in the room part of the conversation. I'm glad I followed you guys here. 2023 the Pivot hits 1M subs and surpasses I am Athlete.
I’m happy to see the XFL get the recognition they deserve. If you a football fan, you should love all football.
I love the marketing of that shirt RC and it worked on me..... I want it
this show is a blessing 🙏🏾✝️
The fashion game of The Pivot is on point. Loving the shirts!
From the NCAA, less than two percent of all college football players make the NFL. There are so many talented players that just need a place to play professionally.
It’s hilarious how Marquette King has to field questions about having fun on the field and being blackballed by the NFL, yet Pat McAfee is hosting the Espys.
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
XFL can be a pipeline line NBA in the G league . As football is King on all levels. Povit put all these interviews in one segment ,nice job . Coach G Williams is a classic

Have been a fan of the XFL since 2001 I'm extremely excited for tomorrow's XFL championship game, the XFL has been Fun, fast, innovative, exciting, rough, tough, raw, rugged, defensive, offensive, thrilling, nail biting, hard hitting, smash mouth, in your face, all access, football, THIS IS THE XFL. XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL XFL
They had to do another episode with Dwyane Johnson because that other interview they did with him was too short... I like this interview better 💯
Love what XFL is doing and most certaintly love you got our island and PC Charger alumn Jordan on the podcast!!! Love love love this!!
4th time watching this not on my profile watching it with others. I still laugh and now its off season I miss these guys Gregg and Barlow are really like this and are very down to earth coaches. You sometimes come across coaches football or other sports that feel their too good to speak to their support staff outside of needing something from us and these guys right here made us feel like people. I can't wait to get back work with these guys!
This was an awesome podcast. It was great to see so many great perspectives
Bring a team to San Diego! It’s needed for that fanbase!!! San Diego Marauders! Silver and gold!!
OMG! I want to play for Coach Greg Williams, and I've never played. He's AWESOME! Love "The Pivot".
amazing episode. Thank you for shedding light onto our league, will be in san antonio tomorrow for the game
Shoutout Arlington thats one of the few football games ive watched, that Jawn was Lit
This podcast is easily taking over!!
I'm so glad y'all did, I now understand what the XFL is all about. I wish them well.
Phenomenal discussions!
❤ Best defensive coach ever . HTTR
Love this show real talk with real people keep up the great work huge fan of you guys.
love the combo
Fred is hilarious 🤣
I just watched this Episode today and I was trying to figure out how the hell did a 5-6 team even make the championship game? Then I said to myself wouldn't it be funny if they win especially against a team that was 10-1. It was my first time watching any XFL game and it actually was a pretty good product. Congrats Arlington Renegades!!!
❤ love you guys podcast TV
This show is killing it.. keep up the great work 💪🏿
Another great show. Thanks guys
Ty, I understand it better. Blessings guys🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌻
Another excellent show!
The xfl is a dark horse. I play semi pro ball and noticed theres so much talent that could play in the nfl but one thing or another holds them back. 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.
I wish the XFL and USFL would work together. Have a Smack Down Vs RAW kind of relationship. Two separate leagues that meet up for playoffs. Top 4 teams from each league go into an 8 team playoff. More teams means more opportunities.
I'm definitely interested in the xfl now no 🧢 🔥🔥🔥
I love this,keep it real ✊🏽respect
This was a must for me educationally, my Nephew will be trying out in DC next month🙏🏽🙏🏽
You clutch flemlo. I'm at work binging yo content. Good video man. Hope everything goes right for Matt
Yes I’m binge watching I LOVE this show!
I am excited for this XFL👏👏👏💪
Amazing podcast
deuce Vaughn as a guest that would be a great story
I like your T-shirt Chan
A lot of football fans are just waiting to see if they last longer than a year or two be for we get invested in the xfl
Another banger
Love the spotlight you guys are putting on the xfl gotta get aj mccarron on next
Channing’s passion take was a bar
Freddy T with the barz! Kiass like ice, how do you stay so cool... Caught that Freddy 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I didn’t want to cry today but I knew the moment I saw Gregg Williams I knew ST would come up and damnit here I am, grown man crying about a man I never met. I wanted Gregg to become the permanent head coach so bad. I need to know more about “The Safety” I can’t wait.
Waiting for this old man
Shout out to the xfl for the nfl having the cameras on the Zip-line. That came from them. Idk if the patented that but shout out to them!!!
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.

You guys should have Ray Lewis on the show
COME ON MAN. ITS THE C I DOUBLE A.
Who are these people? Can we get names in the description or introduce then in the show.
Marquette King is dead azz about being detached. I covered the XFL championship game last night and he walked off the field and went to the locker room as the clock expired. He didn't look angry, just disinterested. Didn't even stay to celebrate with his teammates. Definitely looked like he didn't even want to be there.

I mean looking at his mindset when he was selected by Arlington he said he had to get his mind right because he's been more focused on his music and other things that football was pretty much on the backend but I'm sure he was happy about being a champion and celebrated with his girl on Instagram
Somebody please ask the Rock why he did that SNL skit about the kids, I ain’t been able to look at him the same since seeing that shit
