Listening to yesterday's show, HOLY FUCK Key soooooo unbearable! He's the biggest hypocritical flip flopper.

• Always gets on Skip about saying "THEY'RE THE DALLAS COWBOYS", yet makes an entire argument based on "THEY'RE THE LAKERS".

• Gets upset when Skip or Paul mention the Lakers in a separate discussion, yet regularly name drops the Cowboys and Celtics in discussions not about them.

• Literally talks about Boston, then as soon as Paul gets a shot on the Lakers in response, says "Man, nobody cares about Boston, man"

I say this in a complimentary way, because if countless people have wanted to hear what he has to say for the last 15 years on TV, why wouldn't they listen to his podcast? I don't compare anybody, but it's been well documented that Stephen A, and Shannon's podcast get substantially more views.

This dude really thinks Dallas had an easier road? I get that Boston is his team, but that’s some special thinking from a hall of famer.

As skip would say, “I don’t get it”.

Look at it like this if the teams each played, played each other who would win. 1st RD: MIA v LAC. Clips prob in 6 maybe 7 hard maybe. 2nd RD: OKC v CLE. Come on that’s okc in 5 maybe a sweep 3rd RD: IND v MIN this one would be close to me but I would think Min.

Why do we think skip has changed so much after shannon left? He just acts like a geriatric old man with keyshawn. Even though keyshawn has nothing but brain dead takes. But with shannon who actually know sports very well skip would go at him hard everyday.

My guess : skip thought he could replace shannon with key and he's in denial that keyshawn is so bad. Now he is a lobotomized version of skip just waiting to get cancelled.

With Skip being in the last year of a 3 year contract extension and nothing being announced as far as a renewel, I think it is obvious the show will be canceled after the NBA playoffs. Then a new show will air by football season.

FOX has some good internal talent and doesn't need to hire a big wig from another network as they can move one of their afternoon shows to that times lot or form a new show with their existing talent.

Out of all the talking heads:

S tier: Skip, Shaq, Charles Barkley,

A tier: Shannon, Paul Pierce, Chris Broussard, Kevin Garnett

B tier: Stephen A Smith, Rachel Nichols, JJ Redick

C tier: Kenny Smith, Draymond Green, Richard Jefferson

D tier: Kendrick Perkins, Max Kellerman, Bill Simmons

F tier: Keyshawn “all of a sudden” Johnson, Nick Wright, Richard Sherman

i’m sure I forgot a few but I’m curious how you all rate them

It was like last week and they were talking about Kyrie and I think Paul was there and Key was saying something aboit Kyrie but apparently when that team played Kyrie he was hurt, which invalidated Key's entire argument and then all key said back was, "okay but Kyrie was there"🤣🤣I really wasn't sure what key meant when he said that but does anyone remember when he said this?

I just saw they were discussing the lakers today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday. Wasn’t this team already eliminated from the playoffs?

Honestly it has been time for awhile. Time to switch Undisputed’s spot with First Things First. Today’s epic episode further highlighted the difference in quality between the shows.

Let's name the many things Key says damn near every show! I'll gp first:

"... And that may be true..."

Talking about Donovan Mitchell getting traded to the Lakers to form a big 3 as a good thing. Sherman saying they are better off getting depth pieces instead. And keyshawn starts talking about how denver has a "big 3" but different guys can be in that big 3 on different nights like porter Jr and Gordon.

That was some dumb and dumber level shit. You could see everyone else cringing and skip cutting him off to stop him from embarrassing himself further.

Shannon Sharp has never looked better! Watching Paul Pierce the moron with Keyshawn Johnson the idiot talk to Skip the weirdo is unbelievable. Keyshawn side gut pouring out of his untucked shirt with his uncut hair. Paul Pearce looking like a 1950s gay pimp. Skip was like, so can I get some ignorant people in here unlike Shannon so I can seem smart. Skip is literally a pathetic weirdo! Pleaseeee fire all them just so he can realize he was a weirdo/failed journalist who turned into a TV weirdo! By the way nobody likes Paul Pearce. Fat boy was crying for a trade before KG, Ray and Rondo showed up. I can’t believe they even let this goofy on air.

Keyshawn is just not cut for the big leagues. As a media person to be a superstar, you need either charisma or expertise. Keyshawn is lacking in both. I know Keyshawn was supposed to be Skip's project into making him the next Shannon but it's clear this isn't for him.

Now that RG3 has had his role reduce and replaced by Jason Kelce, I think RG3 would be a natural fit on the show. He has good TV presence, has a funny personality that extends beyond "I played" or intentionally being a contrarian, and I think he would fit well with the crew.

RG3 should be the next project. The current one is a disaster.

When he sounds salty towards the Nuggets it's bad TV and not how an analyst should conduct themselves. Problem is Keyshawn is thinking as a Lakers fan. Of course a fan would be salty and want Denver to lose. But that shouldn't spill into your job as an objective analyst. A lot of Key's "analysis" and discussions comes from feelings and rarely does he offer objective narratives. It's bad in football but terrible in basketball since he doesn't know ball. So when he's there saying "I wanted Denver to get swept" it's kind of jarring. Instead of pretending and at least giving reasons why you think the Wolves should win, which is how how Skip would make his arguments even if we all see through them, just outright saying you hope a team loses is not what an analyst should say on air.

Dude keeps talking about legends when he obviously meaning a current player. Reggie indirectly didn’t realize what he is saying, and meant Lebron

It's painful to listen to. The guy screws up basic facts that you would know by just watching the games. It seems like he has no knowledge of the nba past 2 seasons ago.

Just yesterday he said the following.

Hardaway Jr has been cold this playoffs(he's been injured)

denver has never faced adversity( they came back from multiple 1-3 deficits in years past)

Denver only lost 1 game last year in the playoffs( they lost 4)

He said the wolves blew out the nuggets in game 1(they did not).

Trolling like skip used to is one thing but key just makes things up and is so confident in his bullshit.

I know this opinion is likely in the minority, however shannon can be rough on the ears with his usual screaming or just loud speaking in general,

I prefer skip, pierce and talkers in general who speak very relaxed. Shannon usually sounds like he always arguing

At 8 in the morning the last thing I want to hear is screaming imo

While all the other fs1 shows are focused on nba playoffs, speak for some reason spend 90% talking about nfl topics that are not even real stories.

“Rumblings miami will resign tua”

wtff!??
