Essential The Official ESPN First Take Thread

[jadillac]

Cari was getting a little annoyed when both skip and SAS was shytting on danica patrick for being a terrible racer

she was tryna make the typical female athlete being treated unfairly and they were like

Yeah, I know. She can't tell me you who won the pole last year. I dont even know.

And this is done with no other cars on the track. So it's just her racing by herself. I'm glad she qualified but i dont see the big deal. Especially since she's been racing for a long time and has never won anything.

I could see if she was a newbie

I just knew when she went on her little "I feel empowered" title 9 rant it wasn't going to go well.

Had me like

And then even when she was talking about Jerry Buss passing, the first thing she goes to is "Laker fans wonder what's gonna happen to the team"

I was like The man JUST died and the FIRST thing you go to is what's gonna happen to the team? Who cares, the son or daughter will take over.

The funniest part was when Cari asked who would win in a one on one between MJ and Lebron and dude said something like "Lebron is 6'8'', 6'8''!, he could get rebounds" and some random black dude from the crowd yelled "Jordan ain't going to miss, though!" and Wale was actually stumped for a counter point. Lost the debate before Skip and SAS could open their mouths.

nah wale is just arrogant.. you can tell in his face and in his interviews.. he feels like he's the most important and the smartest in the room.. i could hear it on the podcast........ which brings up another point... but soon as dude said jordan won't miss, it was like he was just blown. he just huffed and said something like "see, you can't say anything against jordan, so i'm gonna say jordan"

that wasn't where he was going. he was mad dude from the crowd said that and immediately quit the argument as if he was arguing with dude in the crowd. he didn't even finish his point.. just said fukk this nobody nikka... you win



but something else about the podcast... you always hear cari and skip under their breath, huffing and puffing when stephan goes off on a rant. like they wanna say "nikka shut up" but can't so they make all these sounds under their breath to rush him or let people know how bored they are

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

they up there talking about jordan coming back at 50 with a serious face, like he didnt look at 40.

i turned it back to the show 10 minutes later and they were still talking about it.

really. they nut hug so much screamin a. was tryna offset the criticisms of cheese eyes jeans by complimenting his immaculate sportscoat. gtfoh, that nikka dress like share a closet w/ john brown. when niggs cant even be objective about something so nondebateable like a straight up bamma, then there's really no winning the subjective shyt like his ability to play basketball at fukkin 50.

Why is this fool always name dropping?

^^^jay pharoahe put that dude on blast. he's pretty much the game of sports analysts now. you notice it right away.

 

[Swiggy]

Skip at it again

 

[beenz]

what I HATE about this shyt most is they talk about the same bullshyt every day and beat it to death. when they aren't talking tebow, then they are talking about dwight, kobe, or lebron the rest of the time.

Given this latest incident with Wale and the Toronto announcer I agree with your point, looking back it does seem like Wale was frustrated or annoyed to the point of he didn't want to bother to answer more than he couldn't think of a counter point. I didn't realize he took shyt so seriously.

Why do they have no talking ass athletes on first take are they that starved for guests on Wednesday. Stephen A talking about nobody could beat MJ in a Slam Dunk contest. These nikkas Blow MJ on a daily basis now its disgusting.

Mother fukker had exactly zero insight. He had an opinion but couldn't even express it properly.
