I'm a FirstTake fan. SAS is a loud-mouth narcissistic, diva. He's the Mayweather of sports talk shows, a man people love to hate. That's his shtick. He has sources that seem to be in the know. He seldom makes predictions that aren't on the one. Molly Qerim holds her own and is more than eye candy. They bring a variety of sports aficionados to debate Smith. The challengers are of high quality and knowledgeable.
I'll list some sports talk shows. Chime in. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Undisputed. But I haven’t listened to the show since Shannon left. I think it’s still on vacation. Hopefully it will be like the old First Take where each segment has a different cohost who is the specialist in that sport rather than the same two guys yelling at each other for 2 hours.

I didn't list Undisputed because from what I've read Shannon is not coming back. He's going to ESPN.
Stephen A Smith CONFIRMS Shannon Sharpe To ESPN FIRST TAKE!??!

I think Skip is on a 2 month vacation and the show will be back with a new format for MfL training camp. I’d like to see a rotating cohost team like like Coach Eric Mangini, Rob Parker, Chris Broussard, etc who switch every segment and go against Skip. Not sure who else Fox has to rotate in.

You're only allowed so many options. That's why I optioned OTHER. You've voiced your other. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Sports talk debate shows like First Take had its heyday. Seeing how SAS is often absent these days, he's shown as much interest in the format as the audience that is still watching.
That's not a counterfeit Skip Bayless, that's Mad Dog Russo. He's a regular guest. I think SAS's screaming persona emanated from him. Both of them on at the same time is put in ear plug time. Their histrionics are so scripted they're laughable. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

HAHA
I have heard mad dog for years but have never seen him. I never would’ve thought he looked like that. Thank you! I heard he is the Wednesday cohost or something like that.

Real Sports.
It's still at it's core an investigative sports program and it rarely fails at that and I usually learn something from it.
I watched it when it first premiered in the 90's, still love the format now.
It's something that really doesn't exist around on tv or radio anymore.

Shannon Sharpe will make his debut on FirstTake Monday. It should be interesting. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
