In an exclusive conversation with The Pivot Podcast, Clinton Portis sits with Fred, Ryan and Channing for a transparent discussion on hie he went from being one of the most regarded running backs in the league to the face of a NFL scandal that landed him prison time.
In Clinton Portis’s first public conversation since being released from prison, he gets right into it and how he believes he went to jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Ryan recalls mentioning something Clinton said to him in a recent conversation, “I ain’t never stole a piece of bubble gum.”…Feeling the certainty and passion in this statement, Ryan wanted to know how and why this prison sentence came about.
Tangled up in a NFLPA insurance fraud scandal, Clinton was one of over 170 names listed in the case and became one of the main ones to take the fall.
Clinton says he was unaware of any of the other people convicted for this crime and he believed that based on what was presented in court, he wouldn’t be sentenced, Sepe since there was a hung jury. Clinton tells the guys that this justice system experience was life-changing and allowed him to see that the justice system needs improvement. He shares stories with the guys about conversations he’d have with the guards and other inmates, comparing their sentences based on the crime.
Continuing to see the disparity in the justice system, Clinton is dedicated to becoming a spokesman and helping those cope who have been wrongfully convicted. The guys also talk about how Brett Favre seemed to be untouched and his scandal buried for way worse yet, Clinton made headlines for months.
Transitioning back to days of playing football, Ryan asks Clinton if he’s upset that this conviction took away his opportunity to receive a gold jacket. Portis says that he does want a gold jacket but finds peace in that his stats have been forever cemented in NFL history and the forever bond he has with teammates and friends. Fred asks about what role having legendary teammates played in his success.
Spending the majority of his career in Washington, Clinton also has strong words of support for Dan Snyder and why he feels he shouldn’t lose his team.

I will never forget how many times CP thanked my brother for being apart of the trade that changed his life! We was in Tallahassee for a celebrity weekend and everytime we crossed paths it was “Thank you Champ!!” This must of happened 30 times! Salute to Clinton Portis and wish many blessings come your way going forward! You are a good dude and one of the best players I ever played against!! Much Love brother! ❤️🙏🏾👏🏾💯
Your bro had that dog in him! I miss the true lockdowns like Champ. Hope the family is well. God bless!
@Boss Bailey bro didn't you play for the Lions.
@@CoreyKing_2 yes Boss Bailey did
@@joetheGod13 thanks bro
Boss Bailey in the MF CHAT 🔥🔥🔥
Clinton Portis is one of the underrated running backs of all time.
Portis was fast as hell too people forget
Ehhhh. He's right where he should be
And Ahman Green
Because he was good for his first 3 or 4 years and the rest was lack luster. He was more of a work horse back that had a couple of good games per season.
@@UptownAlleyFashion He had 6 good years out of 9 played. That's pretty dang good
I will never get tired of this show. You guys make guest so COMFORTABLE that they open up so much feels like I’m sitting at the table listening
We need a josh Gordon Interview always wanted to know his story from him and his suspensions.
I watched a story from when someone had an interview with him and it’s truly amazing and sad. But it really showed how strong Josh really was outside of football. The off the field battles for athletes are what many people don’t talk about. I’ve had my own especially during my college career and man it is tough.
Yeah I'd like too see Josh Gordon on here
As a skins fan this man mean everything to us..dope interview 🔥🔥
Rightttt 💯💯
Facts
Fathead still on the wall in my old room at mama's house
I went to GHS in Gainesville. He one of the most solid dudes to ever get on that green slab
Commanders
I'm glad you guys gave my cousin a chance to explain. Everybody knows we were raised to be good people overall. Keep going Pop your job not done yet 💪🏾
My cousin…😂😂😂😂😂 Had to throw that in there I see
CP was one of the most humble NFL players I ever met. He showed me kindness and allowed me in his VIP one night in DC without "knowing me from Adam". His Coach Janky Spanky impersonation was hilarious as it reminded me of my high school during my days in Tallahassee. I always wondered what happened with this situation and it sounds like he was railroaded in a manner that we see repeatedly with high profile black celebrities.
Especially those trying to help the community.
Clinton Portis had an amazing 9 year career in the NFL every year he played was impactful for the team he was on. Great interview from the Pivot
As a Broncos fan , he was my favorite player. When he left it hurt because we never had a 1500 plus yard back since. Portis was the truth 💯
I feel you ,I was upset they traded him but I'm glade we got a Hall Famer Cornerback out of it
His second year I was obsessed with his speed and his fit in that offense.
I love how you guys get your guest to open up. It’s truly amazing, the most enlightening and honest podcast out! Keep up the good work
Mr. Portis is one of the most solid human beings I have ever met. Our sons played together and I called him out the crowd. I had no idea that he went through this. I am grieved in my spirit with this story. May the Lord bless you and your family. Thank you for the story Pivot.
You guys podcast is motivation on so many levels... From the interviews, to the Platform it's self.... Motivates me to keep pumping content... I see yall and keep doing yall thing... Salute
Chan, RC, Fred T my wife and l watch every episode of the pivot . We love that you all let your guest talk and that are willing to be open and transparent. We would love for y’all to have Ray Lewis and that grown man in the N.O. Zion 💪🏾💪🏾on the show keep doing what y’all doing God Bless
Y'all may need to give this man a weekly feature. Dude is solid and has a very interesting prospective on all things sports and life...
Went to the same high school, it was always cool when he came back and just chilled with the students, he’s a real one.
GHS
Came back during lunch period when he was at MIAMI. cool asf
Felt when he said he never had a chance to rest. Im only 31 and this is the first year I've allowed myself to rest since graduating high school. And even in this time of rest I'm still building a business and attending college full time.
Rest on sir
Brings me back to the days 05-09 football days 👌🏾
I swear 🔥
Howard homecoming
Glad The Pivot provided CP with a platform to tell his story. That Eastern Dist of KY is beast. I’m willing to bet that Judge Hood was on his case. Yep, that’s his actual name. Western Dist of KY would have showed some grace. Anywho, this was excellent and I’m glad that brother didn’t allow that moment to stop him.
I was a big CP fan back in da day which lead me to becoming a Skins fan for da time him and Sean were playing for them. Salute to you OG! 🤥💯
*🫡
Tha U!
You know your a fan when ya waiting for the premiere countdown 😂 I remember portis he was a great running back goin up against my Eagles 🦅 when he was on the redskins lol but his bronco days were when he was most dangerous… let’s get it !!
LEGEND
Eagle Nation, stand up! 🦅
Most dangerous w the Broncos? He was there for one yr. Lol. 2008 was his best season.
@@lionelserrano6554 he was there for 2 years and rushed for over 1,500 yards both seasons
I Play Semi Pro Football In My City and It's Open So Many Doors For Me . Life Is Great Rn . Mr Portis Watching You Made Me Fall In Love With Football , You Forever Changed My Life Sir , Thank You Being Such An Impact On My Life Even If You Don't Know It 🤝🏽
God bles you bro
I love how they give one another their flowers. I can't explain to you how underrated this gesture is.
💯
He deserves all the flowers for the career he had and the man he is today
Mr. Clinton Portis, I felt like crying hearing what the judicial system did to you. God bless you brother. You're definitely a Hall Of Famer!!! Mississippi!
CP is a legend, hall of famer, and a great man ! Everybody can't podcast but can you pivot like this .....? I think not ! 👏 👏 And a Ric flair wooooo! Hell of an episode !!!
There’s got to be a way for him get legal retribution. I supposed this interview is the closest he’ll get. Those people who railroaded him have names!
Man these cats do the best I have seen with getting interesting athletes to open up. I love this pod cast!!!
This is unbelievable CP went thru this & still has the type character to be like it a blessing in disguise. Great interview all of you!
Guys thanks so much for having CP as a huge fan of his was great to hear his side and to see he’s doing great and not letting this destroy his life he’s come out of it with such positive attitude shows how great his character is just want to see him in the Hall of Fame in our hearts as fans he is just like the three of you are! Just love the pivot best podcast there is you guys do such great interviews and make your guests feel so comfortable to open up to you guys! This show should be winning some major media awards it’s excellence at its best
You all put the light on situations that many forgot about or try to close their eyes too. Great show as always....💯
This is super personable and powerful to truly under and digest. Great pivot and great words from experience he's gained to educate others. Thank you Clinton Portis and Pivot team for this gem. Nonetheless, God bless and continue to pivot!
I love CP as a player and more as a person! I’m happy he’s come out on the other side of this stronger and better. Always pulling for him!
I've been a CP fan for years. What happened? Now I understand. Our legal system is shameful. I swear this is the best podcast ever. If y'all can get Serena I would fall out. Great job!
I suggest you to look at the facts and not just Clinton’s petty part interview.
@@djcity1 the hate 🤦🏿♀️
And another great one fellas! These type of stories have to be heard! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽✅✅✅💯💯💯
Gainesville legend! Cp and T-Mac interview is all I wanted to here! Appreciate it!
This was good! It was layered and deep. Much respect to Mr. Portis 💯. Thank you all
Show is amazing. I love what you fellas are doing. You upstanding Black Men are pillars in our community and deserve to be held in high regard for you work. Thank you for uplifting and clearing up the character of these people that are targeted with negativity that unfortunately sells in the world today. You guys are my heroes!
Thanks gentlemen for another outstanding Pivot Podcast. Enjoyed listening to Clinton P. telling us his story. The Pivot Podcast always opens up a new perspective that needs to be heard by the masses. Thanks for sharing with us, Channing C., Ryan C, Fred T., and Clinton P. Stay up, Clinton P.
This is like watching the most personal autobiographies every week. Once again, well done, Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾
Another 🔥 interview! Love this show bruh for real!
Man I’m a Washington fan and Clinton is such a legend baby dude a baller
He was a helluvah blocker too. Used to lay them LBs down!
I miss those days
I was crazy Shannon Sharpe he said there’s numerous times he said at Clinton Portis didn’t even take the game seriously if he did he said he’d be top five all-time that’s crazy Portis was legit
He was overrated in Washington. A work house volume runner.
Great conversation. Much love to all involved!!
Fred, Channing, and RC, Keep doing your great work. Can you see about booking Vince Young for an episode. I would love to hear what he's up to and about his ups and downs with the Titans.
Steven Jackson as well
That part
Went to same high school as Clinton and a hurricane fan. Its was cool to watch his journey
352 BABY 🔥🔥🔥HUGE CP FAN! HS highlights were lit! My Pops did the electrical work in his mom's house in Gainesville. I meet him in 2010 when he came to GHS to talk to our team!
More brilliant content....I can set my watch to y'all show because it's that consistent thx brothers
Great show!!! Was a huge UM fan back when he was there!!! Always knew he was not culpable with what went on with his legal situation!! Continue to have these fantastic interviews!!! LOVE THIS PLATFORM!!! Like you guys always say, “Anyone can Podcast but everyone can Pivot”!!!!
Wow.....This world this system this culture is sooooooo messed up!! It's freaking SAD, DISAPPOINTING and so much more to here CP's story but it's A VERY important message you guys are putting out! Keep telling REAL STORY'S and raw content I love what you guys are doing!!!
man.. he got paid millions,... and blew it all... so stfu
Dope ass interview! I definitely think the contrast in what CP was accused of and what Brett Favre actually did needs to be highlighted a lot more. Not just on social media but in the courts as well as within the NFL HOF circles. There is no reason CP shouldn’t be a HOF’er and there damn sho ain’t no reason Brett should still be one. Well done THE PIVOT 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💐
Hearing him talk about those Miami teams. Wow! I remember watching them when they were coming up after the NCAA infractions. They were truly fun to watch.
This is a great show y’all have some amazing guests 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽
One of the best interviews from one of the best. 👏👏👏 Salute
Long-time Washington fan here. This one is personal for me. Here we go! 😀 🍿
My mom lived across the street from Clinton Portis Mom and when he would come home it would be a fleet of all kinds of cars and ball players. Partying the good ole days. The Ville baby😘🥰
Real talk as usual…keep pushing 🙏🏾
Another stellar interview. I’m infatuated with people’s stories in their own words! Love to CP and the Show from Vegas.☮️
Even if Clinton Portis never gets into the NFL hall of fame because of his arrest, he will always be a hall of famer to anyone that witness his greatness. He was so smooth running the ball. It was like every play you could expect a home run, long run touchdown
Let me go on head and like this video before it even starts… 😂
Same! ☺️
Y'all don't understand how much appreciate this episode, huge Washington fan. Been dying for a name such as CP to be a guest!
appreciate the interview, CP, you're funny, great stories
Dang! He done called out Fred Smoot (the mouth of the south).
That’s when you know who really stands with you. Go through something & see who’s still there.
That’s what my grandmother use to tell me!!!
A great interview. I am now a CP fan. I pray that God will bless him in a mighty way.
These guys are great because they ask good open questions and are great listeners
Thanks guys for letting CP come on and tell his story. CP is a God in Canes football lore.
The podcast I wait for every week. Please have Jerry Rice on. Thank y’all. Keep up the great work!!!!
Wow! This is eye-opening!
Fantastic! I feel encouraged . ❤
One of my favorite Redskins greats. Remember watching you when I was 3 in 2005 with Sean T. No doubt a HOF RB and your story is amazing thankful y’all put this out.
OK so Clinton Portis did $100K on private benefits, paid it back, and did 6 months. Brett Farve did $1.1M of FEDERAL MONEY. I'm thinking that is about 15 years to start. I know Brett is not sleeping a wink listening to this horror story.
White America doesn't work like that unfortunately
Brett Farve is way more than 1 million. He is over 5 million they updated the number.
That's America 🇺🇸 for you🤷♂️
All is 4given with Farve... It was hardly even publicized..They don't attempt to hide the obvious anymore
Welfare is state money
Much respect for Clinton. Glad you're home. Loved all them Miami RB's.
Another 🔥🔥 episode yall keep this going
I still have my Portis jersey..I wore it to the Falcons game this year
I need a update on Brett Favre NOW!!
The elite are going to delete your comment because it's quiet about Brett!!!!
U ever been Howard homecoming 😂😂😂😂 52:57
Dope interview man🔥💯
I remember when he used to wear different costumes during his interviews
Clinton Portis is one of the best running backs to ever play the game. I’m a UGA fan but that Miami Hurricane team was a monster back in the day. The talent level that football program is undeniable. CP deserves his flowers!
I always comment days after watching but another amazing epeisode and hearing Clinton Portia story and all. Amazing player and great man. Great episode The Pivot I love y’all Ryan, Fred & Channing!
Great interview. CP will always be one of my favorite players of all time.
I am so sorry to hear that you had to deal with all of this 💔. You were such a great player and role model during your time in Washington DC. I pray that you will be exonerated.
he did it to himself
@@juanshaftpatel7488 I hope the judge lacks empathy when you get jammed up too
Sad that people think lacking empathy is strength now a days
LOKEY, PORTIS IS 1OF MY FAVORITE RBs & PLAYED FOR MY FAVORITE COLLEGE TEAM(AND MANNNNN, we had some dawgs @RB @THE U)!! Hate that his name/stats don't get mentioned enough!! LOVED HOW HE RAN!! 👑🏈👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great Interview!! CP needs his flowers!! True Mississippi Legend!
Another great show guys.. keep up the great work
Growing up Sean Taylor Willis and cliton portis was Legends to me growing no lie I used to draw these dudes low key everyday for two years I probably still got the muscle memory to draw em 😂 my guys forever rip Sean T 🙏🏾
The man that turn me into a redskins fan
Yo mad respect CP! much love for hearing ur story. you definitely gangsta an thank you for motivating me just being genuine big homie i inspire to be like you G 💯
Great interview 👍
So if they tried to turn him into a monster….how do you think that works out for the people who don’t have that discipline? They turn up that pressure in the half way house so you can break and head back up the road! The system man….wow…
i'm a 63yr old life-long u.m. fan on clinton portis is on my short list of what a quintessential hurricane is. i love the insight that he shared about his 'cane days and his being traded story was absolutely hilarious!!!!
Bruh!! This wasn’t enough, it has to be a part 2 talking about his time in Denver and University of Miami
Facts
I’ve been waiting for this one !!!!
As always great work
Loved his game. Legit beast and Hall of Famer
Great show and that was a SERIOUS player in his day (not an opinion, straight facts). It was very educational and constructive to hear his story from his mouth how unjust justice can be.
So close to 600K followers!! LETS GO PIVOT!!
Thanks for this. I've always loved CP and hated what my former DC team wasted his brilliance. Im glad he came through relatively well.
Why was CP surprised the NFL had the chance to help him and chose to prioritize their own interests?
Gotta get big B Mckinney on. Athletic beast, pivoted to music, and he was on the boat
Awesome Interview!! Stay Strong CP!!
LOVE THIS STORY 😊 THIS STORY NEEDED TO BE TOLD. GOOD JOB!!😊
