Do you ever think Max looks at Tony Reali and remembers that is supposed to be his easy gig in NY?

I'm glad he's got a truly high profile gig and is gonna get paid. But I have doubts it's gonna be a good fit.

ESPN should hire Michael Rappaport and let him loose in a studio with Stephen A. And bleep whatever they have to bleep.

Kellerman really should stick to boxing.

Cool. I like max

noooo, Skip is the heart and soul of that show and you all know it. Guess they "needed" someone less "edgy" to debate ol' Uncle Stephen on things he has zero knowledge of, which is pretty much everything
>tl;dr fuck Stephen A. Smith, fuck ESPN for ousting Skip if it's true

>>69049429
The fuck are you talking about? Skip left because Fox offered him 40 virgins, just like cowherd.

>>69049429
ESPN didn't oust Skip, Fox Sports offered him a deal he couldn't refuse. Stephen A. and Skip are literally top 3 attention-getters on ESPN.

it does suck desu. he's a good dude but he'll never be able to bring what skip brought to first take

>watch first take like 7 years ago
>skips basketball analysis is just who "wants it more" and "isnt afraid of the moment"
>watch him again last week
>thats still all he says

How can you spend so much time watching basketball and not figure out the game at all besides the absolutely most vapid and surface level garbage?

What did Colin do wrong, again?

>>69050556
Said some shit that might have been racist once or twice. Iirc you could see his point in context, but people interpreted it differently. Don't remember the deets desu

>>69050212
he either
1) never wound up spending that much time watching
or
2) just memin anyway

>>69050154
...do people really unironically watch first take? that fucking show causes brain damage

>>69050556

that baseball had to be simple relative to football because theres no way latin americans who can barely speak english would be able to succeed with complex NFL playbooks

hes 100% right but it still triggered alot of people

>>69050718
don't hate man, skip and stephen a essentially get paid to shitpost about sports irl

>>69049429
Skip was a literal shitposter. The only person more obnoxious than him at ESPN was jemele hill. He actually tried to argue that kyrie was the mvp of the finals because of his 3 in game 7.

So what happens to Sportsnation now? They already ruined the show by removing the memes and now Max is gone.

wiley is terrible, that show is dead
