I like both shows, but I think First Take is the better between the two.
The only thing that I don't like is how FT promotes movies by bringing on lead actors for promotional reasons to talk about sports that they obviously don't know anything about. They brought Jeremy Renner on there yesterday and the man claimed to be a life long 49ers fan and obviously didn't know dik about them or football. He brought Rick Ross and a bunch of others on there and they always come off completely clueless about sports.
But, The commentary on FT seems far more articulate and thought provoking. The counter arguments are pretty good, and the way that each of them conceptualize their POVs seem within reason even if I disagree with some of what they are saying.
I think Will Cain is a great addition, along with Dominique Foxworth (these two really deserve a show together).
I think SAS and Max are excellent though. I think they're pretty fair, honest and consistent. I don't know where people are getting this "c00n" description of SAS from. When something or someone that he thinks is wrong--he calls it out, he doesn't seem to care who it's coming from or what race they are.
Max is a bit too "intellectual" in the sense that he often introduces and makes broad comparisons between issues that have no relation to one another whatsoever. But he does it as well as anyone would be able to do it.
I get where the OP is coming from with SASs antics, they can get a little over the top sometimes, even when I find myself agreeing with him.
Now, Shannon and skip are good, but skip just seems so spineless and meek at times. He has these moments where he seems to cower from from countering Shannon's POV.

he basically said the NBA is more progressive than the NFL
Will Cain is a fukking racist and he's a member of KKK, Neo-Nazi, WS. He's a biggest Trump supporter. .
Remember him arguing in favor of the confederate flag a few weeks ago
Max Kellerman is so much smarter than Will Cain. Pompous sanctimonious ass...
Will looked like he was bout to start dropping F bombs
I want to do one of those yourtakes and direct it directly at Will Cain... I can either destroy him or paint him into a corner he cannot weasel out of...
Will Cain
Fukk dude....I was listening to Mike and Mike this morning for a few.....dude said we don't know if Kap even wants to play football, why hasn't he posted any videos of him working out, any videos throwing passes, what has he been doing with his time etc...
Greeny: "for one raising another 700K for his causes to match his own 1 million, sending truck loads of food/supplies,etc..why are you/we asking something of Kap that we don't ask of any other free agents, we knew Cutler didn't want to play anymore, wasn't working out and actually preparing for a job in the booth and they had to beg him to play, even if he was posting videos like James Harrison pulling trucks, etc he still wouldn't have a job in the NFL..you think he went to interview with the Seahawks if he didn't want to play football".....
Will Cain: we still need to hear from Kap and his agent...
Gotta have a best of 3 First take/ undisputed tag team match one day.
I know that will never happen tho.
