Top Rank’s contract with ESPN runs through August 2025. Let’s see how it goes.

Shohei Ohtani had one of the best weeks in baseball history and First Take ain’t even discuss it

They discuss the things that casual fans care about

Yankees cowboys Lebron Brady(when he was playing)

I'm happy none of the NFL Live crew has been axed. That's by far the best show they have and thankfully the bosses seem to understand that.

Baseball doesn't move the needle like it used to back in the day. Also, I don't think most Americans want to claim a foreign born player as one of the best players in the game even through he has shown that he is .

They typically only cover baseball when Mad Dog is in the studio on Wednesday. Even then, they don’t even bother to bring in Onley other baseball talent.

Honestly, I think SAS got too spooked with what happened last time, so they keep the topics to a minimum.

I say the same about Chris Mortensen and now even Diick Vitale.

Even when they try to talk about him on the morning shows they just do it w/ their football analysts and made it a "who's the best show in sports" topic so they can bring the NFL in the conversation.

Is there any solid MLB recap show on the MLB Network?

I thought these hot take shows were pretty much just Basketball and Football.

They do no hockey whatsoever, which is hilarious considering that now has an investment in hockey. Baseball topics are typically on Wednesdays with Mad Dog and it’s just about Ohtani or the Yankees. Enough not to get exposed for their lack of expertise. Other sports they don’t even bother with.

Paying McAfee and laying all these people off is an atrocious decision. I'd understand laying all these people off, not hiring McAfee and trying to make stars out of younger people but blowing all that money on that goofball is trash.

I'm glad Jason Fitz is gone though he sucked
