“Life is not about scoreboard watching.” Ryan Clark 

The Super Bowl match up is set and we are down in Orlando with all the guys who didn’t make it but had insane seasons this year! That’s right, we got the fellas together down here at the Pro Bowl and we are talking the Big Game in the Big Easy, the Quarterback match ups, Andy Reid’s greatness, reality of fan culture, new coach hires, personal fears and how we adjust to the unpredictable moments of life. 

Ryan, Channing and Fred bring a blend of insight, humor, raw honesty as the trio goes beyond the actual games and talk storylines surrounding the top headlines. 

Recapping some of the new coach hires of course starting in Duuuval as Fred shares his reaction to the man in charge and not what he said but how he said it to make it the most played sound bite in sports! Continuing around the league, the guys have fun trying to make sense of Jerry Jones’ use of the expression Glory hole while Channing weighs in on his own take on what that means which turns into one of the more hilarious stories on the show!

Turning attention to next week’s game, the powerhouse match up between Philadelphia and Kansas City as the Chiefs try to make history with a three-peat while it’s a battle of two highly talented quarterbacks with Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. Ryan reflects on how, just two years ago, the focus was solely on their race, but today, it’s about their ability as elite quarterbacks—a sign of progress. The conversation continues on how rephrasing the way we talk about black quarterbacks is evolving and we should continue to push the narrative to be on the talent, skill and who the athletes are as people not defined by skin color. 

Fred brings up the unapologetic behaviors of fans and how there is no accountability which Ryan agrees where Channing chimes in that being heckled and shit talked by fans comes with the territory when people sign up to be paid millions of dollars to play a sport. 

Pivoting to the sad reality for so many, The guys reflect and send a heartfelt message to those impacted by the tragedy of the American Airlines Flight 5342 and use it as a reminder not to take life for granted and understand you never know how the simple things we do daily can not always going as planned. 

The guys take a moment and chat about they fear in life whether it’s a big over arching fear or something fun in the moment that scares them as Ryan, Channing and Fred each share what’s on their mind which leads into a deeper look about the fear of failure by the pressure of success. 

As we wrap the conversation, Ryan leaves the guys asking if they could go back in time to redo an awkward moment in life, what would it be and why….the responses are interesting and show a little deeper look into some of the moments that shaped who the guys are today.
