The former Las Vegas Aces teammates Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance hava leveraged their friendship and WNBA opportunity to create a different path to stardom and success. Better known as Syd and TP, the world champions and bench warming besties are determined to become the faces of the WNBA, despite the fact that no one asked them to and far from the top of the A-list star players in the league. Maintaining an honest perspective about each other and their spots on WNBA rosters, the two found gratitude in their opportunities and found ways to stand out amongst the league's top talented players.

Embracing their comedic personalities and love from their teammates as being the go-to's for the little things on and off the court but also the ones who lighten the mood and make the sport more fun, Syd and TP took their everyday approach to life and turned it into a tv series and social media sensations.

Understanding their role as team players and non-starters for their respective teams, the two forged a bond last season when they were a part of a championship roster who didn't see much playing time but gained popularity through their personality. TP talks about doing the little things as an athlete but also as a teammate which has helped her stay in the league for so long while Syd talks about making the most of her opportunity to be on the highest level doing what she loves everyday while mixing in her other talents and just being her authentic self.

Playing with stars like A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum, the team doesn't lack stardom and Syd says adding her balance to the roster is something valued by her teammates. TP talks about how her mom being a basketball coach helped shape her love for the sport at a young age yet she didn't really fully embrace her talents until college years at LSU. The two besties have allowed their vulnerability and talent to create their own lane in a sport that landed them a second career.

Ryan, Channing and Fred ask about the discrepancies of women's sports on a professional level between the wage gap, different levels of exposure and treatment across the board but Syd and TP chime in on how women's sports are on the rise and gaining traction with more broadcast deals and sold out arenas. The ladies detail how last year's championship parade exceeded expectations and truly was an unbelievable experience with fans lining up blocks of Las Vegas Blvd to celebrate their championship run.

Syd, currently on the Las Vegas Aces, who are taking on the NY Liberty in the WNBA finals is one game away from winning back to back titles. You can catch "The Syd + TP" Show on Mondays at 9pm ET/6pm PT on the Maximumeffort Channel on FuboTVOfficial.

The 2x Super Bowl Champion has been battled tested on and off the football field and developed a sense of gratitude for life as he continues on his path to pursuit greatness and always giving back.

The All Pro Defensive End earned a reputation of grit and physicality early in his NFL career, coming off the edge as a key member of the Giants defense defeating Tom Brady in the 2012 Super Bowl.

After a July 4th fireworks accident happened where JPP lost two fingers from explosives blowing up in his hand, so much of his life came into a clearer focus as the All Pro fought to find his way back on a football field. Learning how to manage simple tasks like tying his shoes and writing, JPP developed a mentality of making the most of every situation and being grateful for life.

Looking up to his father for inspiration and motivation to work through the adversity, JPP shares how his father being blind and never complaining kept him grounded during the hard times and showed him that no matter what life puts in front of you, there’s always a way forward.

Earning his way back on the field, JPP worked towards another Super Bowl win, this time with Tom Brady as his quarterback and led a young defensive core to get his second ring.

A few sacks shy of 100 total in his career, JPP is looking to call another NFL team home this season and sees how much the game has changed, how much tackling has changed and wants to be the veteran voice in a young organization.

Going back to his younger years of college and leading a life where trouble always seemed close by, JPP opens up on how those days shaped him into the man he is today while teaching him tough lessons that only made him stronger along the way.

A Friday with The Pivot as the guys get together to talk about some heavy things going on in and around their lives and reflect on how life can never be taken for granted.

Returning from London, Fred joins Ryan and Channing to catch up about his trip and travel as the guys get ready to head to Arizona tomorrow to watch Ryan’s son Jordan play against Deion’s Colorado State. Ryan shares how he’s been consumed with his son’s last year playing college ball and staying healthy has been at the forefront of his everyday as Jordan had to deal with some unexpected health struggles to start the season.

Yet, with the attention there of worries, Ryan opens up with some guilt of sweating little things in life as he emotionally shares how their close family friend, LSU senior Greg Brooks, was recently diagnosed with a rare brain cancer after a tumor was removed and now fighting for his life. In a somber moment, Fred and Channing listen as Ryan tells about his recent visit to see Greg and just how tough it really is and the road ahead even tougher as the community is coming together to support his medical efforts as well as form a support system for the family to lean on during this time. Putting into perspective how life sometimes has no answers for the things that we encounter but can only prepare us to make most of each day. Ryan, Channing and Fred discuss to create a fund to help Greg’s family be able to be with him during this time of treatment and rehab.

Switching topics, guys get into the personal effects and the business side of sports and how trades affect athletes and their families with Lauren Holiday recently speaking out about her husband being traded while he was sleeping without notice to a city they gave so much to. Fred also brings up mental health side of sports and guys talk about Chandler Jones and how people are always so quick to blame CTE as if it’s a joke or a cover when it’s really a serious matter.

Heading into the wknd and wrapping up the episode on a lighter note, Ryan brings up a recent trend he was reading about how men are sending Venmo and cash app requests to first dates if there isn’t a second one or it doesn’t go well as in they want them to pay for half of the date! The guys have a good time discussing this one, let us know what you think Pivot Family!

Former NFL player Anthony "Spice" Adams who is often called by his

peers and followers "The funniest guy I know" joins Ryan, Channing and

Fred for a colorful conversation covering everything from football to

family to finding a second act with a new career. We often hear people

say how various forms of comedy are often ways for individuals to hide

insecurities or make up for areas they try to keep hidden from the

public and then there are those unique humans who just have a special

glow and ability to lighten any situation they find themselves

in...Spice Adams is that guy.

Sharing with Ryan, Fred and Channing, Spice opens up on how having his

dad go to prison when he was 4 yrs old affected his childhood and

created a tight bond with his mother who encouraged him to always be

himself and never give in to those who made him feel less than. His

love for football started a young age and it gave Spice purpose and

the meaning of what it was to really love something and uphold

commitments. From his youth teams to playing at Penn State to getting

drafted in the league to playing eight years in San Fran and Chicago

as he was known as locker room guy and the one everyone could count on

to keep the team's spirits up or find a way to brighten someone's day.

Spice took this gift and turned it into a 2nd career, filming his

stories and everyday life which has now become a viral social movement

and a lifestyle.

With an abundance of gratitude for his family, life and lessons he

learned growing up, he talks how he wouldn't trade it for anything,

even the hard times of not having his dad around growing up but today

is able to say how proud he is of his father who was able to start

over and create a life for himself when he was released at prison

after 2 decades and was able to even make it to watch him play

football with Chicago.

Known as a Mama's boy by his friends and former teammates, Spice talks

about his rock in life and shares the story of how he met his wife

early on in college and how forming a strong friendship was the

foundation of a lasting marriage and the keys to what has made them

work through it all. Focused on being an amazing dad and always

present, Spice prides himself in being the best father he can always

showing up for everything, big and small, so his children never know

what it's like to not have him apart of their life as he had to

experience for so many years as his dad was locked up.

From Usher performing at the Super Bowl and the buzz surrounding his performances and what the guys are looking forward to vs what some other people are saying about his risqué routines. Fred and Ryan are looking forward to it while Channing has some questions of what the February Las Vegas show will entail and the funny banter of how some fellas will react to their ladies watching the extravaganza.

Which leads into the guys trying to break down how women and men are viewed and treated in relationships, in sports and in society, the guys discuss differences using their own personal relationships as well as get into some of the experiences of women athletes such as Sha’carri Richardson and how the world roots for her losses more than the wins sometimes, going further into the fascination of why America loves the bad guy and is it to see them fail and why.

Finding balance between being there for people and helping the ones close to us when they have bad days, rough moments, and exploring emotional philanthropy of when we give of ourselves and how we handle situations of when we see people who are down or going through something. Channing weighs in on his approach with Ryan and Fred both having a varying point of view on how to handle.

A true story of regret, reflection and redemption in athletics and how losing it all and learning the hard way ultimately changed a life for the better.

The former Ohio State star, Maurice Clarett captivated the country with his running back skills in early 2000s and was on pace to be one of the best ever to play but his fall from the top was far and the world never got to see what could have been for football’s favored back from Youngstown, Ohio.

Ryan, Channing and Fred reminisce about how amazingly talented Clarett was on the field and size, stature and running back skills were something the game has never seen before. Detailing his path fast tracked from highschool to playing at Ohio State to winning a National Championship in 2003, However, no one knew that his game-winning touchdown in the Fiesta Bowl would be the last time Clarett touched the football on a major stage.

Growing up with gangs and hustling to make his way, Clarett lived on his own from his teenage years and found football as a means of getting him out of his surroundings and into a different level of living. With all the talent and work ethic needed, Clarett could write his own ticket straight to the NFL in a short time with the accolades and perception surrounding him.

Using the fame and fortune of his overnight stardom to a disadvantage, Clarett ran the streets and allowed his upbringing to be at the forefront of poor decisions and criminal activity which ultimately cost him his career and freedom. Clarett reveals what really went on with his football suspension from OSU, his mental health struggles, details of his aggravated robbery, dodging death, missing out on the NFL, embarrassment and finding purpose through pain in prison.

Although his football career and life was a tragic tale of an athlete at the top of the world who lost it all and never got it back, it’s also one of triumph as Clarett uses his life experiences to better himself, fuel his passions and everyday try to impact and make a difference in someone's life.
