"You can’t argue that AM radio matters to local communities while replacing local voices with centralized programming. You can’t tell listeners that the AM band is still relevant while giving them fewer reasons to tune in."
"For me, it’s about seeing content that they haven’t seen from me before. When you’re at ESPN, there’s a certain model that they do things. Now, independence allows me to broaden my reach with different things I can do. Hopefully, earning a new appreciation for what I can bring to the table."
"If you view my show as a startup for OutKick, we’re already ahead of the game. We already have followers that believe in the content. Now, we just have to find some new ones. I fully expect a great launch and quick success."
"They are bringing back their Bet The Board podcast sponsored by Hard Rock Bet. You're all welcome. Sincerely, Clay Travis, aka the best GM in sports."
"The question isn’t whether Sport & State and OutKick are competitors. The question is whether both sides are willing to embrace it. Because competition isn’t necessarily a threat. Sometimes, it’s the thing that makes you better."
"What Clay is building with Sport & State aligns perfectly with who we are and feels like the natural next step for us. We’re not changing what The Next Round is. We’re giving it a much bigger stage."
"We will have live programming from a minimum of 8 a.m. Eastern until at least 5 p.m. Eastern every day. That's live. You're gonna love it. It's gonna be outstanding."
"I’m beyond thrilled to be joining OutKick. I’ve always been a fan and appreciate their authenticity and willingness to speak their minds. It’s something I’ve done throughout my career and will do during this next chapter of hosting The Craig Carton Show."
"If you have this great fortune and you don't have to go to work, you don't have to do any more of what you are doing, and you still want to do it? Man, that's awesome."
