It sucks because I'm usually the one defending/enjoying First Take and I don't mind the promos from SAS. But I was trying to watch a clip about the Kobe/Bron shyt and it was just flat af. Max is cool but he ain't Skip.

Undisputed sucks to me because Shannon ain't SAS. Opinons on the racial shyt aside he's much better at his job than Shannon, I don't like listening to him talk especially when most of it is dikk riding Lebron.

Skip and SAS need each other, instead we got two shows that are splitting the energy up and leaving both underwhelming. And please keep Ray Lewis the fukk off tv.

Such glue that he's drawing 0.0s in key markets on FS1 and seen his social media imprint cut significantly over the last year, while FT got promoted to ESPN (and saw ESPN2 tank without it) without him.

I didn't realize how much Skip Bayless was the glue to that show but him and Stephen a were a great team together.

But over the past few years Stephen A increased the volume and showmanship of his debates and comments and it started to feel like pro wrestling promos watching him yell.

That's gotten so old...

But man I flip over to FS1 and Skip and Shannon Sharpe really have it going...

I havent looked at the numbers but i think First Take is on its last legs...

:comeon:

They both suck.
I like Skip but he can be irrational.

Shannon literally doesn't understand the game of basketball. Honestly he only knows football.

Both are pretty good when it comes to the political aspects of the show.

Then for first take, SAS is a c00n and he threatens players like he has clout. Doesn't know anything other than basketball.

Max is just a very arrogant individual who isn't half as clever as he thinks. The whole vibe he brings is off putting. Plus Molly always interject
