I mean I agree with Dan. That debate shyt is awful
The problem with LeBatard is that he always speaks as if he's above all of this shyt. Him going "I hated what you created with Skip" is Dan 101. Just a complete lack of self awareness that it's just people spoofing sports talk just like he does, but in another way. Of course he doesn't have to like it but he always comes off as if he's better than it when he's the leader of a (super fun, don't get me wrong) clown show too.

That’s a fair take on dan. I like him but that’s spot on

Dan Lebetard is a clown. If ESPN never turned into a clown factory he wouldn’t be where he is today. He should be kissing Stephen A’s ring and thanking him for giving him and his daddy an opportunity to make millions of dollars.

He also has some very :mjpls: views that you would expect from a white Cuban in Miami

All they did was take your old-school radio shock jock that nobody ever took seriously, threw him in a monkey suit and sat him at a desk to make him look respectable and put him infront of a camera. And Americans are so stupid and always seeking to be divisive (notice how these shows really blew up same time politics and social media did) that they take a side no matter their true opinion and it gets eaten up.
fukk all those clowns

ehh

Ultimately, what SAS and skip do is barber shop talk/arguments. Just in a different setting. Sports talk has always been arguing, even going back to being kids in school arguing over players.
Eh, but at the barbershop, cats aren't playing characters.

One of the things we're talking about in the thread about the Cam/Mase show is that their viewpoints seem genuine.

This, I’m from philly and Howard Eskin and Angelo cataldi was doing this in the 90s…

Mike and mad dog in nyc. They brought sports radio (which was always in spots this bad, and with selected callers worse), and brought it to television

A clown show that doesn’t take itself serious or inject themselves in a story to make it about them. Imagine Dan’s vampire gravy ass telling KD “you don’t wanna make an enemy out of me.” It’s not in his nature and when he wants to, he can write an article or conduct an interview that shyts on anything Skip or SAS can put out rn. And I say that as someone that stopped listening to his show in the last year.

Stephen A is a master at talking :wow: he was saying a whole lot of fluff and juelz but Dan kept hitting with the Max shyt and that when he started to crack. Dnt let his fast talk fool you, all they other shows got way more nuisance than first take and y’all know it :comeon:.

ESPN didn’t get Max moved from the show Stephen A did. He acts like it was a business decision but this was a personal decision because he didn’t like debating with Max who has more journalistic integrity than Stephen A nowadays and it made Stephen A look mad. Stephen A didn’t want a highlight every morning of Max showing the world how awful he is at current journalism.

But anyways it sad that Sports news has become more The Ringer than Grantland. Worst era to be a real sports fan :mjcry:.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
People like Jim Rome were like sohh.com circa 1999. It wasn’t mainstream. Skip and Stephen A made the debate formate mainstream. Like TMZ or the shade room. These podcasts are mutated hybrids. Social media made it worse. And most of these shows aren’t even consumed in real time. People watch clips on YouTube. It’s the only way these shows can even stay relevant at this point. Nobody sits down and watch these shows from beginning to end anymore. First Take comes on at 10, and people checking social media for clips at 11.

If you believe what you just wrote, then never watch the show, Max was and is still horrible ... he is a goalpost changer so who wants to debate somebody like that and him and Stephen A never had chemistry.. if you watch Stephen A with the cast now they chemistry is there him and Mad dog have had more better segments then him and Max did throughout the multiple years they were together, and so do him and Irvin ..

Max is likable but consistently had TERRIBLE takes.

And it was quite obvious he was intimidated by SAS personality. I think SAS began to view him as spineless
