Yea I don’t wanna see Cam on first take his brand is big enough he don’t need them. It’s kinda outdated thinking to think big personalities are benefiting from ESPN. ESPN needs them more than they need ESPN. I’m not sure some of these former players realize that

Especially on first take where SAS immediately sons them and they gotta play small. It’s silly. They had Shumpert on there the other day and it’s like damn your personality is being shrunk here what are you doing

The only guys who do it right are that guys who stay tf away from SAS and can mostly remain themselves ie Pat Macafee. Ryan Clark was cool then he became a host and it wasn’t/isn’t him at all
It's like when star players joined the Patriots during the Belichick era

SAS was trying so hard to dispute just about everything Shump was saying.

I would avoid that egomaniacal windbag.

Do people still watch First Take like that? Only sports show I'm checking for is First Things First when it's football season.

Its the #2 sports show on Television behind PTI.
averages around 550k per episode. (1M+ if you include YouTube)

My morning routine is The get up. It’s dope they keep a lot of BS-free former players. But getting kinda compromised now Greenberg has become a carnival barker hyping up EVERY topic

Funny thing is I’ll have it on in the background and can do other shyt but when first take automatically comes on I have to turn that shyt off. The yelling and pointless debates genuinely disrupts my mood :scust:

What's the over under on him eventually saying something that will get himself fired?
Shannon legit dropped a audio sex tape for the world to listen to and he didn't get fired.

What is Cam going to say that gets him canned at this point?

This is what Player Empowerment looks like
:blessed:
