Essential The Official ESPN First Take Thread

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

You gotta take this show with a grain of salt. Skip and SAS only cover topics that they care about, they dont really care if we like it or not. You pretty much know what topics they will rehash, its up to you to watch or not. If you dont like the show, stop watching

Its tv they still care about ratings they cant talk about whatever the hell they want all the time

its clear that this show has jumped the shark, who knew that we would miss rob parker, i miss the days of white arrogance when jay crawford and dana jacobson who be like "im not going sit here and not say anything for two hours", they ran off every basketball analyst and you cant force that much football talk in the offseason, screamin A is only good for two, maybe three days a week, and there is only so much trolling skip can do, eventually you just run out of crap to throw

cari makes me miss when jay was on the show. i thought him and dana would be easily replaced. but they are exactly what the show is missing. back in the day, jay at least, would stop them in the middle of answering, to ask follow up questions. sometimes change the whole topic. he'd build on the generic questions and flip them around a little. if someone didn't answer directly, he'd call them out


now we have the. huuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmm........................... deep look in camera..................... 10 minute rant, other guy jumps in for his 10 min rant..................... argue and interrupt for 2 mins, then cari asks the next generic question.. and its not only the same question from yesterday and the day before. its the same question from 30 minutes ago. and there's no spin. they are giving the same punchlines and points as the last time they answered. switching up 3 or 4 lines.. then give the same points for all that week

Im sorry, but anyone with the last name Champion is gonna annoy the fuq outta me. Bring back Jay

I was trying to tell my brother this when they started switching up the moderators that the show suffered because of it basically stopped watching not long after

I miss the whole skip vs the world bit bomani great he not going to kiss skip ass and that's why he not on there same as jalen rose, Stephen a sometimes reminds me of Sam Jackson character on django how he try to defend him when somebody gets in skip ass

is this show now an hour that they replay back to back to back to back 4x in a row?!

Yeah, I don't get this crap at all.

I think they just replay the first topic during their two hour timeframe.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I'm liking the 3PM edition better now because its only 30 minutes, especially when its a slow time in sports. When the NBA playoffs start, i'll fall back to the 10AM version where they have more time but right now there's nothing to talk about. I'm glad i have a choice though

 

[KingJudah]

Lmao @Cari and Jemele on their womans power BS. The cheerleader DOD is nowhere close to the fan. The fan looked like a 4'5" Munchkin who came to the floor cold and shot a half court shot. The cheerleader bytch obviously practiced for that shyt and made it with noone in the gym. Simpin A Smith cosigned their BS too

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Cari has wifey material written all over her.

The old format was way better
