Did SAS really ban Monica McNutt? She hasn’t been on First Take since that whole debacle.
After how SAS disrespected her and the other women on his podcast, maybe she chooses not to come back.

With that being said, the answer to this question is when was the last time she showed up on Get Up as it's right down the hallway from the FT set.

She was back on FT this morning (not in the studio) so the ban doesn't seem to be in effect now if it even existed
I don't think SAS would have encouraged a ban on her as it would have been a bad PR move for him....as he would have looked like a petty weasel.

Did he actually want her gone? That's a different story altogether.

Banning MM would go against SAS's core argument about WNBA/CC which was they should ride the wave.
SAS is going to ride MM's new popularity and use whatever stats she's brings to FT for his contract negotiation.
Plus, like it or not, SAS thinks he's responsible for most of the black faces you see on ESPN/FT these days and most of them will say he's called them all into his office (the only person who has office at ESPN NY lol :sas1:) and mentored them.

Monica back but no SAS
Monica was on with SAS yesterday.. SAS isn't Skip.. He doesn't ban people for going at him.. In fact, he loves it because it brings eyes and drama to the show. I can't think of a single person who was banned besides Max.. And even then he wasn't banned.. SAS got him like 3 other shows on the way out

SAS didn’t get him those shows, ESPN did that on their own. Don’t give him credit for that especially considering that he knew damn well they wouldn’t come out and dispute it:mjlol:

And someone like TO definitely is banned from FT after those Max is blacker comments.

Lowkey TO got himself and Max fired with that shyt. SAS is probably mad, but Monica didn’t insult him personally just called him out on his BS. That happens a lot, and he is self aware to know it was the truth. Basically SAS knows how to turn a shoot into a work and knows he is a heel as well.

And SAS literally retaliated by going at her and other ESPN women on his podcast as he knew they weren’t going to do anything about it.

He literally uses his podcast all the time now to go after people and insulting them.

He can dish it and say whatever he wants about people, but starts juelzing and getting upset when people come back with the same energy.

Bob Myers literally called him out on his shyt on Countdown and he literally started copping pleas and blaming it on social media like he didn’t have years of receipts of him trying to break teams up :mjlol:

He also has time to conjure up a bs response. When T.O. and McNutt called him out live, he was left speechless.
