If Keyshawn is the main debate partner....why no moderator? FS1 cutting corners? Then again First things first and speak don't have traditional moderators so maybe that's the new wave.

Wiles and Acho/Joy are used as mods to transition topics and bring order.


At end of the day....producers are in the ears anyways. PTI managed without a mod for a long time...Cornheiser and Wilbon made it work.

The format is the mod :heh:. When you think about it they were ahead of their time in that regard. "Moderator" had pretty much devolved into "pretty broad that asks the obvious or acts stunned" anyway.

IIRC Whitlock’s version of Speak for Yourself was the first FS1 show without a traditional mod format.

Other shows slowly followed suit.

One could argue that a moderator (eye candy with a good personality) is that little extra that makes these shows work. You can even see it with Cam's/Mase's show with Stat Baby. Undisputed has never been the same since Jenny left imo, and was at it's peak with Joy.

But Skip can never get along with these chicks, so he's thrown the format in the bushes....that or they can't find many women who want to work with him on set lol.

:yeshrug: SAS knows more football than Irvin and Key know basketball.
SAS thought coaches were dumb for not kicking a FG on 3rd down and if they miss, they can try again on 4th. :mjlol:
The fact that you listen to SAS about football tells us that you dont know enough about football to know what is complete bullshyt. :dead:

Skip DEFINITELY needs a basketball guy on this show (Maybe Chris Broussard) this FIBA Basketball topic is pure torture to get through.
