“Who puts us in the best situation to win each night… I’m here for all the smoke!” 🔥 Kara Lawson brought that energy to The Pivot. After a🥇with Team USA at the 2026 FIBA World Cup, Coach Lawson is sitting with the fellas for an unfiltered conversation about leadership, competition & what it takes to win with the best talent in the world. From being the first female coach of Boston Celtics to coaching Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown to Breanna Stewart, Chelsea Gray to young stars Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers, to navigating personalities, egos and expectations on the international stage, Lawson breaks down her philosophy: put the team in the best position to win — and don’t shy away from the pressure. She gets real about the lessons her father taught her from playing youth football, the influence of Pat Summitt, her time with the Boston Celtics, and the mission to restore Duke Women’s Basketball to powerhouse status. Elite athlete. Coach. Leader. Competitor. Kara Lawson isn’t afraid of the smoke — and she’s not backing down from the conversation. 🏀🔥 Full episode of The Pivot with Kara Lawson streaming now on @netflix and all audio platforms.#Basketball #TeamUSA #Duke #WomensBasketball #NBA #Leadership @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

I know nose bleeds RUN all day in Green Bay right now.

What does it feel like to be Bijan Robinson and wake up every single day that good at football? My goodness he makes it look effortless.

Soooo… who snitched on Marr & Tee? 😂

Good for you Bijan! Just keep being a fang dog. Ignore the record and just hoop. It’s why they paid you like that. Worth every dang penny.

When @xavisimons left Barcelona, rumors swirled that it was about money. The truth? It was about something far more valuable: respect. The club questioned his social media presence and popularity. He loved Barcelona, but after one meeting with the director, he knew they didn’t believe in him. So he left with something to prove — not just to Barcelona, but to himself. @thePivot on @netflix #ThePivot #XaviSimons #Barcelona #Futbol

On a brand new episode of The Daniel Cormier Show today, we are joined by my good friend Ryan Clark. RYAN had one of the more notable firings in recent ESPN history, but it’s all turned out so much better for RC. His pivot podcast with Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder is now on Netflix. They have their Pivot Sports show on YouTube, and he just became partners with former Starbucks CEO and billionaire Howard Schultz. Things are looking up for RC, but in this conversation we went all the way back to the beginning in Marrero, Louisiana, live at 5 PM Eastern/2 PM Pacific.. This was a good one. Ryan was awesome.

First, I stopped responding to people I don’t respect. Then, I stopped trying to explain myself to people who benefit from misunderstanding me. Finally, I stopped giving my attention to people I wouldn’t choose to sit across from at dinner. Once you remove the noise, there really isn’t much left to respond to… because the people who matter aren’t the ones doing goofy shii.

One of the best peaks of any player during his era… There was Ed, there was Troy, & there was Bob. Sean was on his way. What a time to watch safeties play football. Watched every snap of his DPOY season. It was dang near perfect! No notes 📝

Anatomy of a segment(s): Two of my favorite segments from “The Pivot Sports” this week: @JalenHurts’ final drive telestration in “What Kept you up Last night” and Evan Williams 4th Q pass break up demo in “The Opening Drive” . Once those lights & camera are turned on, you get one shot to get it right. It’s all about preparation, communication, teamwork, and execution. It’s never perfect… but sometimes, it gets dang close. 🔥 @Thepivot Sports on @YouTube #ThePivotSports #ThePivot #AnatomyOfASegment piped.video/IbEm87Iil5Y

Young, rich, good looking and insanely talented…so ofcourse Chan wants to make sure Xavi is living life the right way “balance”😂 @xavisimons the life lesson when he missed @neymarjr birthday party…full episode out now on @netflix and all audio platforms #soccer #football #podcast #nfl @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

Here you go @theStevenRuiz

Well look at that!! @PatrickMahomes & the Chiefs ain’t dead! 😮‍💨 I warned y’all about sleeping on KC. Kenneth Walker III & Eric Bieniemy have transformed this offense, and now Mahomes is doing Mahomes-type shii. Can’t play 2-high? He’s cooking man coverage. BTW… don’t look now, but @tkelce is WHOOPING these 1-on-1s! 👀 @thepivotsports & @thepivot on @youtube #ThePivotSports #ThePivot #ChiefsKingdom piped.video/IbEm87Iil5Y

Xavi Simons’ father was a footballer, and that’s a story often told. But he wasn’t present in Xavi’s life. The constants were his mother, Peggy, and his brother, Faustino. Faustino was more than Xavi’s brother. He became a father figure. And maybe that’s where @xavisimons’ motivation was born. His absent father gave him the drive to succeed without him. But Faustino gave him something different—the drive to succeed for him. @thepivot on @netflix #ThePivot #ThePivotSports #XaviSimons #Family

3 drive for Herbert. Pressure on 2nd & 3rd down. 3rd & 3 pass hits Njoku in between the 8 & the 3. Bobbled and then Picked off by Masses. Masses played well & popped his 💩 after, but he was actually beat on this play. Bunch route into FZ 3rd. Corner route was open behind him.

2nd drive for Herbert. Uneventful An ok throw on a deep out. Superb catch by Thompson. Takes a sack on a two man “Zombie” route. Tried to escape the pocket. Ball batted on 3rd down. Not much to see there

Had a great conversation with Ryan Clark on this week’s episode of “Glass Half Full” about grit, second acts, and what it really means to keep getting back up. Ryan opened up about surviving a sickle cell crisis, the text that changed the course of his ESPN career, and how he landed a Netflix deal and NFL Films partnership in just six weeks. Plus, the conversation with his son that reminded him no coaching job could ever top being a great dad. Watch full interview now: piped.video/UnPkS1m9ecM

Lots of Herbert talk, so I went back through it. His first drive ended in a missed FG. Early drop on a boot that was a sure 1st down by Thompson. 3rd & 3, Herbert avoids the blitz and throws to Thompson, but Gaston thinks it’s for him and dives for it. Essentially a PBU.
