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'm glad he's looking out for brothas but Stephen A is talking too much. Sometimes you gotta do it behind the scenes and tell the story later after yall are retired.

From the JBP episode: SAS said he went to the bosses to get Max removed, he made sure he wouldnt be unemployed. He knew the plan of giving him a radio show and his own show on ESPN. SAS said he wouldnt have asked for Max to be off First Take if he wouldve been unemployed.

He(SAS) also said the bosses came to him and asked to give back 15% of his salary when the cuts happened........and he did :picard:




Man Stephen A is way more of a solid brotha than I thought he was.

Aye yo y’all might not catch it but ya peep how SA be speaking on Sharpe like he a newbie or a dog some shyt

It be slights in the speech



I caught that too and I thought he was being condescending until I just listened to the conversation that Shannon and SAS had on Club Shay. Unc looks at him like the big homie in this biz (which he is).

listened to the entire JBP segment, SAS talking about Shannon like he's a pound puppy he rescued, based on Shannon's recent tweets he doesn't care but me personally would feel a certain type a way

He’s been as disrespectful as Skip , especially with that “as long as he shows up when I ask” line :mjlol:

Why would he do that when he had everything to gain by making himself look good by doing Shannon the favor?

If Skip gets laid off from FS1 tomorrow, then SAS will toss Shannon to the bushes with the quickness if it means pairing up with Skip and the ratings that will come along with their union. Exactly why should treat it as a business decision and no loyalty for SAS.

I do believe he was for real genuine with no motives when calling for Irvin to get back on air as he and Molly were the only two sports people still mentioning his name while the situation played out.

Shannon has been great so far. He's MUCH better than Keyshawn.

Keyshawn can't be a number one or number two on a show. He's best as a number three or guest.
It's funny u say that. I cut back on FT not only because of the way Stephen A did Max, but also for how often SA kept pushing Keyshawn in my face. Didn't really care for Key as a commentator. Ironically enough, I actually enjoy the dynamic he has with Skip though.
Man I am looking at this like damn this sister Kimberley Martin.:ohlawd:

Yeah I did the same thing. Certified wench. On a different note, I gotta give Undisputed the nod after a couple weeks of watching SA and Unc. The dynamic between them does feel forced when I never felt that with Unc and Skip. That dynamic was the only thing that kept me listening/watching despite the redundant LeBron, Brady, Cowboy topics.

Y’all still pushing this nonsense :dahell:

This has been a failed experiment before.

The general public has shown they do not mess with him like that. If it ain’t FT or a podcast format he can’t keep the attention of the viewers.

He can't even get people to mess wit him in the podcast realm unless he say the name Skip (or out him in the title) and vice versa lol. Exactly why them niccas go so hard to gatekeep their self-respective debate shows cuz they know they gon need it when/if their Pat McAfee (SAS literally said the latter is the only reason he doing the shyt anyway) experiments fail.

What was the reason for pushing Max out?

Most of ft seems forced,. Especially SAS cowboy stiff. We know Skip is the Cowboys stan.

SAS acts like ft gets rating becuz of him. Before fs1 I use to just have my tv on espn by default. Its a lot of ppl like that. Dude only gets like 700k viewers or so. And its becuz a lot of ppl just have him on by default.

Skip got too much going on. Id like to see Max Kellerman on there. I don't really like Keyshawn as a tv guy
