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
vendredi 2 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:02:21
"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.

vendredi 18 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:13:05
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. Full video playing now on Netflix.

He shares what brought him back from that place, how he began to find himself beyond boxing, and the people and experiences that ultimately helped save his life.

He discusses redemption, purpose, mental strength, what he has learned from the darkest moments of his life, and where he sees his career and life going from here.
