Bart Scott former NFL All Pro, Detroit upbringing shaped him, parenting, disliking Nick Saban, the Coach who saved his career, getting fired, standing on business and why speaking his mind comes at a cost
"You either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Bart Scott Former NFL linebacker and outspoken media personality Bart Scott joins Ryan, Fred and Channing for an unfiltered conversation about the journey that shaped him — from growing up in Detroit, nearly having his college football career derailed, to becoming one of the most feared defensive players in Baltimore and New York. Bart takes us back to his college days and the pivotal moment when a coach who didn’t believe in him nearly changed the trajectory of his career — and the coach who stepped in, believed in him and helped save his football journey. That turning point became part of the foundation for the mindset that would eventually carry him to the NFL. From Baltimore to the New York Jets, Bart built a reputation as a physical, intimidating defender who played with an edge and brought that same intensity to everything he did. He reflects on his NFL journey, the battles, the personalities and the experiences that shaped him both on and off the field. Now, Bart is known just as much for his voice as he was for his play. He opens up about being unapologetically outspoken, the moments when speaking his mind came with consequences, and what it meant to get fired while refusing to compromise who he is. The conversation goes deeper into what it means to stand on business — knowing when to speak up, when to take accountability and when to bet on yourself even when the decision comes with a cost. Bart also shares his perspective on the rapidly changing media landscape, the evolution of sports talk, authenticity in an era of viral clips and social media, and what it takes to remain yourself while navigating an industry that continues to change. From Detroit to college football, from Baltimore and the Jets to the media world, Bart Scott has never been afraid to be himself. This is a conversation about football, resilience, authenticity, adversity, standing on your principles and having the courage to bet on yourself. Full episode streaming on Netflix now.

Colin Kaepernick beyond the headlines. Beyond the jersey. Beyond the kneeling, Colin shares his story behind the man who created a movement not just in football but in the world.
Colin Kaepernick joins Ryan, Channing and Fred for one of his most personal and revealing conversations yet. A decade after he took a knee and changed the conversation around athletes, race, protest and power, Colin is telling the story behind the story in his new memoir, The Perilous Fight. From growing up as a Black child adopted into a white family, to the experiences and misconceptions that shaped him long before he ever stepped onto an NFL field… from becoming a star quarterback with the San Francisco 49ers and reaching the Super Bowl, to the decision to protest during the national anthem and everything that followed. Colin opens up about what people have gotten wrong about his journey, what actually led him to kneel, the fallout with the NFL, the years of questions surrounding his career, and the moments behind the headlines that he says have never fully been told. He also gets candid about his relationship with Jay-Z, their conversations surrounding the NFL and Roc Nation, and why that relationship became complicated. And then there’s the part of Colin’s story that exists beyond football and activism: fatherhood, family, identity, purpose and the man he has become today. A conversation about childhood, race, football, sacrifice, power, relationships, fatherhood, misconceptions, and what it means to stand on what you believe—even when the world decides to define you for itself.

Clay Matthews Returns: The Super Bowl Champion and Defensive legend opens up on his football journey, why he went off the grid post NFL career, Netflix analyst, coaching Flag football and his wild new look that had the sports world buzzing.
"I’m a peace with my career. I had nothing else to prove. "Clay Matthews Clay Matthews is back — and he’s giving us the story behind the story, joining Ryan, Channing and Fred to talk all the changes big and small in life. From USC to the NFL, Super Bowl champion, defensive force and one of the most recognizable linebackers of his generation, Clay Matthews sits down for a conversation about the journey that made him — on and off the field. After hanging low for years after retiring, Clay opens up about his rise from USC to Green Bay, winning a Super Bowl, building a defensive legacy and what it really took to compete at the highest level of football. The Super Bowl play to upset the Pittsburgh Steelers is a defining moment in his career but also a painful one for Ryan to revisit as it was his team on the losing end. But this conversation goes beyond the stats, sacks and championships. He gets honest about why he stepped away from the game for so long, what life after football has looked like, and finding purpose outside of the sport that defined so much of his life. And perhaps most importantly, Clay talks about being a dad and coaching his kids in flag football — bringing the same standards of accountability, discipline and respect that were demanded of him throughout his own career. What does it mean to hold your kids to a high standard while still letting them find their own path? We also get into Clay’s next chapter, including his work with Netflix, his evolving role in entertainment and the hilarious viral headlines surrounding his “new look” that had everyone doing a double take this week. Partnering with Caesar's Sportsbook, Clay gave everyone a run for his money when he appeared in public for the first time in years with an enhanced maxxed out look that had the world buzzing if it was really him...shortly after he announced his partnership with Caesar's and how the Sportsbook and app have had some "work done" just as he did to launch this next chapter. This is Clay Matthews beyond the helmet — the competitor, the father, the storyteller, and the man who has figured out the right balance between football and family.
