When Marques Colston lost his father, he lost more than a parent. He lost his idol, the man who helped shape the person he would become.
His father was a great man who lived by a code rooted in hard work, discipline, and the values he passed down to his son. But the day he passed away, the two had an argument.
Marques remembers the next morning in vivid detail. But even more than that moment, he remembers the lessons his father poured into him over 14 years. Lessons that outlived his father, shaped his character, and continue to guide the man he is today.

When @johnlegend & @ChrisETeigen lost their son Jack at 20 weeks of pregnancy, their world was shattered. In the middle of that grief, Chrissy made a decision that initially made John uncomfortable: she wanted to share their loss with the world, just as they’d shared the joy in their lives.
They were met with both love & criticism, but the connection they built with others who had experienced similar heartbreak reminded them why sharing their story mattered. Sometimes, allowing the world into your pain helps someone else feel a little less alone in theirs.

Pablo Torre’s investigation into Life Surge also raised questions about Tim Tebow. Life Surge used faith and sports to appeal to followers of both worlds. The question became simple: How much did Tim Tebow know?
Tebow had appeared at more than 40 Life Surge events and was scheduled for more. @PabloTorre reached out to Tebow before publishing his investigation, & after the public backlash Tebow paused his relationship with Life Surge.

I’ve said it since I watched Travis Hunter make that diving interception on the goal line against TCU in his Colorado debut: this dude could be an All-Pro corner.
And now, finally, the Jaguars are starting to see it too.
He played 76 defensive snaps against the Bengals and was absolutely stellar. If you don’t believe me, don’t take my word for it.
Watch the film.
Like they say… film don’t lie!

We didn’t know what to expect sitting with Pablo Torre and by the end of it, we wished we had more time and asked for a part II.
He opens up on one of the worst days of his life also being the best day of his life as he explains betting on himself, creating a niche journalism that has led to creating change, impact and a Pulitzer Prize.
From the most recent on Tim Tebow to LA Clippers to the fascination around Bill Belichick, Pablo takes on some of the biggest and richest names in sports, a risk he is only willing to take through preparation, confidence and seeking fairness in facts.

New days and continued blessings. Building a relationship with Howard Schultz has taught me so much about business already. I’m excited to continue to learn & grow with him as a partner. As the saying goes.
“Onward & Upward”.

Colin Kaepernick loves football—deeply. The game itself, the camaraderie, the dedication, the sacrifice—those things still mean everything to him. But his relationship with the institution of the NFL is a very different story.
For @Kaepernick7, this isn’t about losing love for football. It’s about a moral and ethical disconnect with an institution—and the individuals he believes blackballed him. He can love the game and still have serious questions about the league that governs it.
@Thepivot now on @Netflix.

This one!! Sheesh!
Love me a demo.
Evan Williams’ pass breakup on Geno Smith’s 4th-quarter throw to Adonai Mitchell will show up as a “pass defensed” in the stat sheet. But to me, this play won the game for the @packers.
Williams makes an elite break from the middle of the field, locates and tracks the football, then finishes through Mitchell’s hands. It might look routine on the stat sheet, but the film tells a completely different story.

Jalen Hurts wasn’t perfect yesterday in Tennessee, but when the moment demanded it, he was DANG GOOD.
That final drive by the @Eagles was a thing of beauty, and their Super Bowl MVP quarterback delivered when it mattered most.
I couldn’t wait to break down every throw, play by play. That’s “What Kept Me Up Last Night.” And there was no way I was doing anything else before getting to this one today.

“That’s what Lane Kiffin has done…
Embrace us & embrace our culture”
@Lane_Kiffin Kiffin is the RIGHT coach for LSU—and here’s why: we all agree on one thing… F*CK ANYBODY WHO AIN’T US.
He understands the only opinion that truly matters is the people wearing purple & gold. He’s a rock star, he can FLAT-OUT coach ball, and now LSU is the New Colorado… with WAY more reach. 🐯

Since launching in 2022, The Pivot, hosted by Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor, has released more than 500 episodes and generated nearly 1 billion views across YouTube and social platforms.
This is Clark’s first big deal announcement since departing ESPN and the partnership marks the next step in Clark’s vision to grow Pivot25 into a broader multi-platform media company spanning sports, entertainment and culture.
The deal goes beyond The Pivot, with Netflix receiving a first negotiation on new content produced by Pivot25 Productions, the company co-founded by Ryan Clark and Alicia Zubikowski. Pivot25 will also produce bonus episodes exclusively for Netflix as it continues expanding its slate of original, talent-led programming.
