Haven't been checking in as much since the first day but from the clips that stay circulating, he seem like he nervous as if he hasn't been on TV the past 10 or so years already. New job jitters I guess.
That’s what it looks like. :yeshrug:

Ryan Clark looked more poise in the segments I saw Monday. shyt was weird :heh:

I mean he kind of did the exact same thing to Max, so I don’t get why he’s so open about talking about the Shannon situation especially since he partly contributed to it as well.
I dont get why he is so open talking about the next mans business (unless Shannon gave the ok). As far as Max, he got 2 new shows including one of his own out of the deal. Not exactly comparable.

What Max did after the fact is irrelevant as he didn’t leave FT on his own just like Shannon didn’t either. SAS has literally admitted that he wanted Max off the show and campaign to do so.

At least got Shannon off the show and kept it moving. SAS will discuss it anytime someone asks about it.

Pushing someone off of one show into 2 others is not the same as possibly pushing someone out of the business altogether. Thats what SAS and Shannon both say was happening there. Its one thing if Skip aint want him on Undisputed. Dude was a big draw and Fox couldnt find anywhere else for him to go?

SAS really just be out here running his mouth :russ: No argument there.

I was speaking strictly towards both of them getting kicked off their original shows and not Shannon getting removed from FS1 as it’s a different discussion altogether.

Even then, it’s still not good optics for SAS to talk about someone else’s business especially when he almost put Shannon out of a job himself when he lobbied for Skip to come back a few years ago.

We cant ignore the elephant in the room breh. Max is white. Shannon is black. Who is more likely to land on their feet? Who is more likely to be blackballed? We cant just gloss over that reality.

SAS claims his intentions were all about looking out for a black man in the sane boat he was in before First Take. Cant read the mans heart but we all know what can happen to a black person if they get a certain reputation.

The answer to your first question is Shannon and even you know that considering that he’s been in demand since he got kicked off FS1 while Max has essentially been out of sight and out of mind since he got laid off.

Even Key and Irvin both landed on their feet wt FS1 after what happened.

Max got laid off during mass layoffs from the two shows he landed on the same network after being run off FT. Thats not an apples to apples comparison.

The fact that Max got two shows after is irrelevant as it wasn’t his call to leave FT even if you could argue he ended up in a better situation at that time.

You’re giving SAS a pass when he literally admitted out of his own mouth multiple times that he wanted Max off the show. That’s why it’s hypocritical for him to speak on someone else’s business.

In fact, just a few days ago with Shannon he mentioned how he doesn’t speak on other peoples business to only go and do that exact thing here :mjlol:

Man it’s crazy how this shot is slowly seeping out.

I didn’t know he was being pushed out either.

Fox looking bad

I always though he got pushed out from day one simply because it was too easy of a gig with a $3 million dollar a year paycheck to just toss aside. Get to the studio at 5:30am, talk sports, and his day is done at 9am. Then the rest of his day is his own ventures, businesses, and podcast. He wasn't willingly walking away from that

IDGAF bout SAS. Its good to see a black man in position run off a white man for once. Its good to see a black man step in and look out for another black man.

Running a white man off one show =/= running a black man off a network and possibly the business. I have no problem admitting I am taking the black side here :manny:
