Essential The Official ESPN First Take Thread

[Rell84shots]

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...

First Take is mopping the floor with Undisputed when it comes to ratings

 

[Big Boss]

Skip took shots at people on espn the other day. I'm surprised it wasn't a thread on it

What he say?

 

[STAN JONES]

Both shows are terrible

Sports media in general is terrible nowadays.I'd rather just get my sports news from here or twitter

The only sports shows I still watch is GMFB and occasionally NFL Total Access

 

[TheNig]

Both shows suck and have always sucked

Skip is the glue this is the idiot that says Manny Pacquiao beat Floyd Mayweather

He did beat him.

 

[backbreaker65]

Undisputed avg. 0.0 in 21 markets and barely touching 100K in other markets, Yep Skip is the glue.

Undisputed avg. 0.0 in 21 markets and barely touching 100K in other markets, Yep Skip is the glue.

Skip is still eating off hating on Lebron and loving the Cowboys and Tebow.. We off that.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Why you don't like Shannon? Outside of the stanning Lebron ...Shannon > SAS and I love Stephen A. Idgaf what yall say...yall love to hate...Besides that Kaep shyt what did SAS do to get called a c00n?

I like certain things he's passionate about like Kaep

I don't like his blatant Lebron dikkriding or his slave-esque sounding voice...

He be like "Stop it Skiiiuuupppp" and its cringy af

 

[CanesMiamiLakers]

What he say?

Start around 6 minutes

I didn't realize how much Skip Bayless was the glue

stopped reading

 

[mikishere]

undisputed is only watchable during the NFL season... then again not really because these clowns will talk about the cowboys for a hour straight then its pats/brady next.

at least first take switched it up heavy with topics during the NFL season once skip left
shannon during the nba season is straight status... but when they're doing racial topics its straight

max & sas overall >>>> skip & shannon and it aint really close either

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I like Shanon and I like Max


and I like moderating eye candy

 

[Kid Dynamite]

Rather watch skip & Shannon... Even joy is starting to look better to me than Molly. I think I was just used to first take so that's why I always looked at them as the top show....but once I stepped back and stopped watching for a second, first take is trash
