Essential The Official ESPN First Take Thread

[thelonious21]

Steven A and Shannon "mansplaining" on why Clark should be on the Olympic team because she is a draw is funny as shyt

Nah they missing the mark..

CC the biggest thing for the W since them Cyntha Cooper/Swoops days

So them leaving her off is crazy.

Especially they got a chic on there who hasn't played all season..

 

[Apprentice]

Caitlin should be on the roster the USWNT is hustling backwards

 

[A.R.$]

SAS and Shannon been tap dancing for weeks on CC. It is crazy.

 

[Chrishaune]

Eh she ain't on it.

But I don't know how you could have these 2 youngish women on to talk about it in it's full spectrum.

You need an older retired player like Swoopes or Lobo on the show to talk about it. They remember the dream team and the impact of that era.

Caitlin probably wasn't going to get but a few minutes a game anyway. I don't think people will miss much this year.

 

[A.R.$]

SAS & Shannon are about to get massive backlash from this segment. That might be what they want though.

All publicity is good in that industry. If it makes people watch.

Talking about the WNBA is going to cause problems I believe.
So many emotions mixed in with it for whatever reason.
I haven't seen a good conversation about it on this show yet.

But but I thought they wanted the attention

But but I thought they wanted the attention

The conversation goes nowhere.
The mix of the personalities don't work for it.

Andrea keeps banging on her points, relentlessly. Feels like an argument.
Chine(?) a little less. I think Chine will be better for this type of show by herself not a tag team. Andrea seems better suited for studio analyst.

Right, CC was gonna get Bol Bol minutes in the Olympics anyway and then that was gonna create a whole new unnecessary discourse about why she wasn’t playing many minutes.

And I think that's why she's not on the team. They knew the fans couldn't take it.

Just cut it off early.
