"This is a business. You can't tie your emotions into business, and I think Ryan Clark naturally did that. Does that make him a bad person? Absolutely not."
"He is a delusional, race baiting loser. He got got. He's doing exactly what we all knew he would do when he got let go. Play the victim, inject race into it, and then in a delusional maraschino cherry topper, act as if he is a Zion broadcaster of football."

"After 30 years in sports media, the most valuable lesson I've learned is also the simplest. The audience falls in love with people. The business falls in love with numbers, and the numbers always win."
"Disney+ and Hulu have built powerful streaming destinations with incredibly passionate fan communities, making them ideal partners to expand the reach of these beloved iHeartPodcasts."
