Former co-hosts of the popular sports podcast I Am Athlete, Brandon Marshall, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder, have taken shots at one another in recent podcast appearances, with Taylor accusing Marshall of being on a "clout chasing tour."

Marshall recently went on Cam Newton's Funky Friday podcast and dove into the breakup, complimenting his rivals' success while also spreading what Taylor would call "lies" on the financial situation and upsetting his former friend Crowder by talking about how he helped boost his podcasting career with advice.

"Motherf***** was acting like he made me," Crowder said on The Pivot. "How'd you make me when I made your podcast?"

Marshall has continued to talk about the breakup despite the split happening over a year ago, but before things got messy, the former co-hosts changed the sports podcast industry. 

In 2020, I Am Athlete took the sports media world by storm as one of the premier new media platforms where former athletes could interview other athletes in a comfortable space. Unfortunately, a financial dispute divided the original team. 

After the group split, Crowder and Taylor recruited Ryan Clark from ESPN to create The Pivot, a podcast that has grown extremely successful in the same space that I Am Athlete occupies.

I Am Athlete has now transitioned to Marshall conducting interviews independently, stepping away from the locker room camaraderie the podcast once offered.

Despite Newton's best attempts to get both podcast teams to put aside their differences, it appears that reconciliation won't be happening anytime soon. 

"As pissed off as I am at you, bruh, for lying, I still give you grace," Taylor said in a statement to Marshall as the Pivot wrapped up the topic. "I hope you can bounce back, but in the meantime, I gotta tell people the truth cuz you're full of sh**."

Although the former co-hosts may remain divided, the work that they did in pioneering the podcast industry and new media as a whole remains with shows such as New Heights hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce or even Podcast P with NBA star Paul George carrying the baton of new media hosted shows changing the sports media landscape.
