Essential The Official ESPN First Take Thread

[Wargames]

To be fair Tebow was a legend in college

Fair enough but that is why I said Professional athlete. He was a scrub taken in the first round and is now on cable after failing to be a professional athlete again.

Most time the cushy TV gig comes after at least a solid to great career

This is clearly a ratings hire.

Tebow was on almost every Friday last yr so how is this a ratings hire

Mondays about to be for cowboys fans and haters to rejoice together

irv might pass out on set

Michael Irvin Mondays is official...i might watch this

Just on Monday? Weird.

So essentially it's no different now than Get Up or any of the other shows on ESPN with Molly as moderator being the only difference. Hell it's no different than what the show is now

I give it less than 6 months before they revamp the show and actually bring in a new full time co-host.

Haven’t watched in a consistently in a few years other than seeing clips online on certain topics. Won’t be coming back with Irvin joining. Him plus Stephen A is too much especially when I left because of Stephen A. What other sports shows are available outside of Shannon and Skip because they are in the same boat as Stephen A to me?

I think there's plenty of guys on tv that didn't pan out in the league. Jesse Palmer, Brady Quinn, Matt Leinart, Chris Simms, Dan Orlovsky. But as you can see, there's a common theme.

C00NIN A whole gimmick is beyond corny and lame now.

They got a segment on right now about Urban Meyer and Tebow all of sudden had technical difficulties

Brehs how has the show been since Max left? I've only watched one segment since then. Seems like Stephen A is turning up the carnival barker shtick.

 

[winb83]

Hardest times of his life? Whose fault is that?

 

[winb83]

Her voice is kinda not soothing.

So how is Stephen A doing? He caught COVID a few weeks ago and he's been gone.
