FS1 is like watching the equivalent of diet coke. Even Undisputed, still comes off as First Take lite even though they have Skip Bayless. They need their own identity

they need a new producer.
shyt is tired now.
I noticed they only talk about racism with black guests, never with white guests.
Shannon doesn't even call out the folks on the show who say the same shyt that Dez Bryant said, but he will talk shyt about folks if they reply on the internet.

They need to change the format and get more topical, hating on lebron or shytting on people because they aren't lebron is dead and they literally talk about the same shyt for months.

Then having terrible hypocritical ass Chris Carter on the show talking that non-sense, but scared to say shyt when T.O. was in the house, to the nikka claiming he would quit if they brought T.O.s name up again.

SMH

Nope I would expect more names to drop in the next 90 minutes, seeing as it's 330 on the east coast

Time out. Now that I think about it, damn near every Pixar, Lucas and Marvel film makes triple or quadruple it's budget. So how does ESPN need to make cuts if Disney overall is still profitable?

Different segments in Disney, your unit has to carry its own weight. You don't get to perform lower than expected because another unit is over performing.

Yep, and they constantly have him on sportsnation too ruins shyt always negative, tries to be funny. "Heat Island" lmao foh nikka don't want you anywhere near my team

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Soooooooo many people on twitter pissed that the black on air personalities werent axed (Mike, Jemelle, Stephen and Bomani) and saying this is because ESPN promotes left leaning politics.

The across twitter with people like Barstool Sports and Clay Travis trying to give hot takes

The mad ESPN went young and black nobody was complaining about ESPN being liberal when ultra liberal Keith Olbermann and Bill Simmons where working there and let go and where making over a $million a year

Not to mention they talk about the same shyt over and over. In the times I watched during football season every other topic was about the Cowboys. It's the offseason and I'm sure they probably still have multiple segments dedicated to them every day

ESPN would be insane to cut them. Not only are the shows watched, but those are all people with shyttons of engagement on social media. Polarizing figures or charismatic figures are the lifeblood of a broadcast network.

I also find this funny considering it wasn't until Stu Scott brought the hood lexicon to the network and they went from an obscure cable network to a pop culture powerhouse.

My bae Josina Anderson is safe right?

I would think so

She probably their top insider for football

She broke most of the free agent signings
