16
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: I disclaimer. Tenning Crowder is the start, too funny, Ben

00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 4: and he takes it so serious.

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: Man.

00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 5: I'm thankful to have both of them.

Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. I am LeVar Arrington. That is Fred Taylor,

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: the great Fred Taylor from Florida. He's Florida Gator. Had

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: an amazing career in the league and most notably with

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jaguars. And before we even get going into

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: the conversation, they're announcing the finalists tonight, that the ones

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: who will come in to the Hall of Fame.

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: If it ain't tonight, it better be at some point.

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep ringing the bell that my number one

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: guy that should be in the Hall of Fame that

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: is not there yet, it is Fred Taylor.

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: I continue to ring that bell and I will continue.

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: To put it out there, hopefully until it becomes a reality.

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: How you feeling, man, How you feel about that?

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: Because that's like, that's one of those things where if

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: you've worked hard enough to deserve that distinction, you should

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: give a man his flowers while he's here. And you

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: have certainly and in so many ways, have earned the

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: right to claim that title and get a bus.

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: What what's what's your feeling on it?

43
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I appreciate your sentiment, you know,

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 4: I appreciate you. Always respected you as a person and

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: a player, and I don't know if you're saying that

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: because of the numbers I put up against you your

47
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: freshman year.

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: Oh it's still a record, isn't it.

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: I think it's still a record.

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 5: Both the carries in the yard. It's just crazy.

51
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: Said they should have played me more because I was

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: the only one that wanted.

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: To hit you that day, and you you certainly did.

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 4: You almost knocked me out the game. So I missed

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: a few plays after that attempted cut block. I didn't

56
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: even though, like this guy's a freshman, yeah man. But yeah,

57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 4: so that that whole process, you know, I understand the process. Yeah,

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: I understand my first time finalist, Uh so, the chances

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: are very slim as the first time final You have

60
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 4: guys in the Tory hole, you know, Reggie, Wayne, they've

61
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 4: been in that final four or five years or more,

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: and a few other guys too, So I don't expect

63
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: myself to just trump those guys. When you make that

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: final fifteen, everyone's getting in. Everyone's deserving. You gonna get it.

65
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: And the big thing, LeVar is that there is no real,

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 4: you know, foundational criteria, like what is it? So what

67
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 4: that does is it sends it over, It kicks it

68
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 4: over to a subjective category and not saying there are

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: certain biases.

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: But the selectors have elected time, like if they have

71
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: a hard.

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: Time saying these fifteen guys, he can do this, he

73
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: did this, He did this, He did this a guy

74
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 4: who has had an amazing year under the radar. Unless

75
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: you're a football fan, you know better. London Fletcher wasn't

76
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: he a finals? He had twenty one hundred tackles right

77
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 4: there with Ray right in the Finally, so it's about

78
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: getting that room, letting them hear the conversation, your presenter

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: presenting your case. And I have a strong case in

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: my opinion, Yes you do. I think it lacks some

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: some probos. But if we want to weigh it on that,

82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: then again, what's the criteria that's that's an issue. And

83
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: but yeah, the process is the process. It'll handle itself,

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: it'll sort itself out. I'm on God's timing. Indeed, whatever

85
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: is clock says, we'll manage it that way.

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: Sometimes it gains difficult the further away you get from

87
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: being an active player, because it's like out of sight,

88
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: out of mind. But one thing that has happened for

89
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: certain for you is you have had a re.

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: Emergence of sorts.

91
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: It first started with you guys doing I'll say the

92
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: Other Show because that's what I will say. Well, you know,

93
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: we'll say, but the Other Show really really was a

94
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: springboard for your brand to re emerge. Who would ever thought,

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: whatever happens there ends up being the next stop to

96
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: create the pivot, and the pivot.

97
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: Becomes a phenomenon.

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: So it has to be the talent that you and

99
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: Channing had brought to the table and now being teamed

100
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: up with RC with Ryan Clark doing that show, I mean,

101
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: how you got like, maybe you can't explain that the

102
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: phenomenon of it, But maybe you can't. You're a cerebral dude.

103
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: You've always been a super intellectual dude. Can you explain

104
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: the phenomenon of what the pivot is and how that

105
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: came about?

106
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think with the Other show, I'm athlete.

107
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 4: Obviously it was a great product starting out, we just

108
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: didn't go that extra step because we were just buddies.

109
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: You know, we were just buddies doing something in the

110
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: middle of the pandemic, which was perfect timing, and you

111
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: know that sort of just kind of fell apart because

112
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: of some business issues and then we had we said, hey,

113
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: we got a pivot. We got a pivot. So we

114
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: reached out to Ryan who we had known and tending

115
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: and myself. We decided to go with Alisha, who's the

116
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: producer from.

117
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 5: The other show. She has twelve thirteen emmys from NFL Fanis,

118
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 5: so she's a beast that what she does. She's like,

119
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 5: all right, let's let's create a team. You know.

120
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: We got sat down, said all right, what's going to

121
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: be the name? And I said, let's call it the pivot.

122
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: That's what we're doing, you know, except just move forward.

123
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 4: That's so, and that's what we all decided to do.

124
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 4: I got it, I got you, I got your merch.

125
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: I got merch. Actually back in the room, we're doing

126
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: some stuff over right area. But yeah, so we understood

127
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: the uh, the importantness of relationships, you know, much like

128
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 4: the reason I'm here today working with Crown Royal. Have

129
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 4: a relationship in a partnership with them that I've been

130
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: a part of. Talk about talk about it. So yeah,

131
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 4: so Crown roy is an amazing company, as you know, is

132
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: a great brand.

133
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 3: That's part of our culture, our community. Better Royal, that's

134
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: that oil.

135
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 5: You're not Crown Royal Oil. You better believe it, but no.

136
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: Last night we were at the NFL social celebration, I

137
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: was able to present to Nate Brothers in a lifetime achievement.

138
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: Killing.

139
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing And on behalf of Crown, they donated

140
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: to Nate's favorite charity in Michigan.

141
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: A big bag twenty five k.

142
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: So that was amazing for the company to be that

143
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 4: considering and thoughtful for Nate's one of his initiatives to

144
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: support the veterans. So so understanding relationships, it helps you

145
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: build yourself up, you know, it makes you selfless to

146
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: make sure you're able to give back in the pivot.

147
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: That's what we do.

148
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: You know, we meet and we take it serious like

149
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: it's our business, our company. We own all the IP

150
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: it's us. So we wanted to be reflective of us,

151
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: you know, we want to give back. Just taking the

152
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 4: time to be observant in the conversation. Whatever is Ryan

153
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: is saying, how he's setting us up. He's the driver channing,

154
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: he's always you never know what you're gonna get, but

155
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 4: he's always gonna be here. And myself, I try to

156
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: meet everyone in the middle and kind of settle it
