*posts up for dan lebatard radio show*

This show is basically keeping ESPN afloat. Like someone said earlier, they keep trying to make people like First Take, its over. Everyone knows Stephen A and Skip are lames. And if Lebatard was on something other than ESPN, the show would be that much better. They have to tone it down because of Disney.

The emails & text are going to go IN on Dan today....
anyone else who listens to the podcast hate how they've flooded it with sponsors ads? also added a 5th ep to the podcast which is basically a combo of the 2nd & 3rd hour. they do the same for Bo's show as well

Tha Gotz looks like Quagmire that time he locked himself in the house and jerked off nonstop for days. And for Dan to have been on a diet, gotdamn he's still round. Not 2007-2008 round but still round for a guy who it seems has been on a diet for 2 years now
IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT: FIRST TAKE IS EXPERIENCING RECORD RATINGS
Posted by Dan Levy on Sep 28, 2015 12:45
People have been embracing debate in record numbers lately. ESPN announced that its tent pole daytime debate program First Take recorded the best August viewership ever.
ESPN2’s First Take experienced its best August viewership ever in terms of households, People 2+ viewers, Men 18-34 and Adults 25-54, according to Nielsen. Compared to last year, August 2015 was up across the board –
- Viewership (People 2+) is up 22% to 409,000
- People 25-54 viewership is up 35% to 252,000
- Household viewership is up 16% to 361,000
- Men 18-34 is up 16% to 115,000
Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless are not for everyone, but they are great at what they do, which is why ESPN has made more out of that tandem than nearly any other at the company over the last few years.
Think off the top of your head of the most notable duos at the ESPN carnival and you’d be hard-pressed to find any pair that gets more attention than the two in the dunk tank calledFirst Take. Mike and Mike surely have more combined viewers and listeners around the country, but when it comes to viral content for ESPN, it rarely comes from them. Pardon the Interruption is one of the greatest television inventions of the modern era—we wouldn’t have anything like First Take if not for PTI—but it feels like it has been years since anyone talked about what Kornheiser and Wilbon routinely say on a given topic.
The same buzz just isn’t there, and yet PTI averages nearly a million viewers a day at 5:30 p.m., more than double what First Take draws in the late morning.
First Take does well for the time it is on, but in terms of “viral” impressions, Stephen A. and Skip are outkicking their coverage.
Because it's in the morning and it's on ESPN
Anyone would be really big in that spot

Stugotz is the most annoying sidekick in all of radio, he brings nothing to the show other than to be the guy who disagrees with Dan. He really brings the show down.

You trippin. Stugotz is the MVP of that show. His weekly fukkery is so glaring he outshines Dan's bloated whining ass. They play off of one another though and Stugotz just doesnt care which is hilarious. What other ESPN personality threatens to sue their employee live on the radio and shares text messages over the air with his lawyer? Stu ya Gotz thats who
