Shannon Sharpe has left Undisputed for FT | Michael Irvin, Keyshawn Johnson, and Richard Sherman joining Skip

First Take get most of their views from people just leaving their TVs on ESPN all day.

And every hotel lobby in the world.

You do know they was only getting around 200k which was the top sports talk show on fs1, right? With skip and Shannon, right?

fs1 context matters. Don't fall for the espn comparisons. Carton show got time to get right and people really don't watch. Give skip and the new cast time...

Plus it aint even in season yet

That's why I couldn't stand to listen to that nicca on morning radio. Every time I turned the knob, this mf was saying bullshyt. Just because you're not *loud and wrong like the rest of your cohorts doesnt mean you ain't still wrong. Jay Williams use to run circles round him & other dude.

Exactly..if you are not on point, then you pedigree is pointless.

I like what I've seen from the show so far, and I'm rooting for it to succeed for the brothers' sake, but it's not a good look to lose viewers consecutively...no matter what format. I think FS1 underestimated how many people rocked with Shannon...for many, he was Undisputed and the main reason why they tuned in. And they still haven't forgiven Skip for the way he disrespected him. Now that it's coming out that FS1 basically sided with Skip and pushed Shannon out...this could get ugly.

Man that Spectrum and Disney thing came up at a crazy time too. I wonder if that’s sending viewers to FS1 for this show now. Espn definitely don’t need no disputes like this now

FS1 is Disney too, is it not? Or did NewsCorp keep that asset?

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Looks pretty funny, but neither show gon be able to match up with Cam and Ma$e so it don’t even matter like that

He should've gone with OJ.

The people tried to told him.

Fox kept all news and sports properties in the sale to Disney.

Rather have Sherm..he is more lively, charismatic and unknown. Key messes up facts wise too much for me. When Acho was saying that Caleb Williams was the best QB prospect he had ever seen in college, Key said Vinny Testaverde. I know it his former teammate, No.1 overall picl, Heisman winner, but Vinny.singlehandedly lost the Fiesta Bowl against Penn State with 5 of the worst interceptions I have ever seen!! Cant believe his stock didnt drop after that. That was aeguably the best team the U had talent wise. He also said that despite Jonathan Taylor getting banged up, he still led the league in rushing. No, that was 2021, not 2022.

Yup...even Jimmy Johnson said the '86 team was his best squad at the U.

I always wonder "what if" when it comes to Aikman. Jerome Brown and them played at Oklahoma and injured Troy. Switzer put in Jamelle and they won the natty. Aikman transferred to UCLA but I always wonder what Miami would have looked like with Troy plus those weapons

People are reading too much into the live viewership numbers (that are down across the board). Undisputed is still destroying First Take on YouTube and social media. The numbers speak for themselves, despite ESPN having way more subscribers.

Front Office Sports is a hack website edited by a c00n and features a bunch of corny Deadspin era type writing. Their highest engagement comes when they talk about Skip and Stephen A, despite all the articles they write hating on that kind of content

Agree.

ESPN is on everywhere while Undisputed (with Shannon) was more entertaining.

The show been on 7 years. It sounds like they pushed Shannon out for no reason. No excuses.

I bet get up on espn has more viewership than undisputed on Fs1. The ratings are not a reflection of the quality of the show. More people just tune in on espn more than fs1 as a sport channel. Majority of people probably don’t even know what channel fs1 is even on.
