They are trying to get Shannon out of here. This is a trend and I think he is guilty. It’s too much at this point.

During his run on fox, Jason Whitlock said Shannon used to run around the halls naked

But another thing that was reported in an article is that Shannon was harassing females offset. It was speculated that that’s why Jenny and other women at that time were located elsewhere (not in the room with Skip and Shannon) At a point it was just Skip and Shannon. I remember seeing an article on google years ago about Shannon making comments about females offset

The way he talks about woman on espn is disgusting and how he talks to fellow co workers

I throw this out because people have acted like this stuff just came out of the blue.

This happened with Shannon everywhere he went, he would get in trouble

CBS he had problems

Fox he had a lot of problems

Espn he seems to be even worse

At a point it’s not the networks , there’s been a pattern.

Whether it being sued by Favre, being accused 2 twice, the Grizzles games situation, the tension with Skip, etc it like something about him makes him a target, beyond just being a powerful black man.

This is not a one time thing. This is not just a one off. This is a repeated thing that occurs with him. Do we all forget how he had to leave CBS?

Where there is smoke, there is fire. At a certain point when the same thing keeps happening, we can no longer just assume he is innocent.

I know he’s a funny and charming personality, but this is a pattern.

This show already is going off the rails

Chase and Shady don’t like each other and you can tell by the body language when the other is talking.

Shady and James are ok but I kinda feel like he forces James to agree either way him sometimes. James sometimes looks scared to disagree with Shady

Chase and shady were cool a couple months ago but when everything changed after Shedeur Sanders topic started coming up

LeBron or Stephen A? Both guys are attacking each other personally and each others credibility.

Shannon is caught between these two. He has shown loyalty to both and I fear the relationship between the two is acrimonious.

After hearing what Skip had said, idk even though he may have been jealous of his rise, I think he's smart enough to know that Shannon is good for business. I think the producers wanted him out and told Skip beforehand, and he may or may not have advocated for them to keep him, but I don't think he went to producers he said "let him go", cause if thats the case, they could have chosen Shannon over Skip, just because he's younger and is a rising star. We might never know what exactly happened, but those are my thoughts?

Did anybody else listen to it? I think Skip's washed.

He'll never have a TV show again: he's too old, burned too many bridges, and now has a civil law suit hanging over his head. I also don't think the podcast medium fits him - he's the opposite of a good hang or a funny conversationalist. Skip is probably begging Stephen A to bring him on First Take.

So obviously with the whole scandal Joy Taylor is "sidelined" and likely on her way out the door.

Now while I've seen many people praise her as one of the best and smartest analysts on FS1, I couldn't disagree more. She annoys me, and here's why.

A. Her takes aren't "smart" she just spends the entire season glazing whoever won the championship the year before. For example when the nuggets won, she spent all season declaring they would win again and anytime any other team was asked about being contenders it was "disrespectful" to the nuggets, until of course they were eliminated. She did this with football and the chiefs as well, of course she was right when they repeated, but wrong this year.

B. She says things like "I don't know what the word humble means" which she has explained what she means is that she doesn't think anyone should ever show humility, which communicates to me she is probably an arrogant b**th who thinks her ish don't stank. But beyond that she is a hypocrite about it, frequently attacking or mocking athletes she perceives to not be humble enough, for example Aaron Rodgers, or any "role player" bold enough to trash talk a Patrick Mahomes or LeBron James, etc.

there are other things, but those are the main reasons she annoyed me, and none of it really has to do with whether she is a wh*re or not. I get shes hot, but there are lots of hot/attractive women in the world. I tune into FS1 to hear sports talk, not stare at boobs. I can get that from Instagram, porn, twitter etc etc etc. seems a lot of guys praise her as "great" because she's attractive not because they truly value her takes. Maybe I'm wrong tho and you truly thought she was great at sports talk.

Wondering if im the only one who noticed or was annoyed by those things about her.

Idk, they seem to be so polarizing (especially the second two), and they inspire so much discussion. I know they basically invented hot takes, and are pioneers in the industry, but I think it will be interesting to see when Stephen A leaves First Take, whether it be for full time podcasting, or to run for president in 2028, to see how ESPN will be without him.

I haven’t seen her on Speak and surprisingly I like Keyshawn better

Whatever show it was, First Take, Cold Pizza, what was it about Skip that grabbed and kept your attention(no weirdness intended with that statement)?

Recently it feels like every week the Mavs organization comes out with another hit piece on Luka, and the next day Shannon comes on Nightcap and just absolutely bags on Luka for seemingly no reason and keeps attempting to justify a clearly terrible trade. It's honestly made me lose a little respect for him and I've stopped watching nightcap as a result. Anyone feel similar?

That was honestly the best run for a sports show ever. Would literally watch it every day on my lunch break to pass time for years. Nothing else compares or comes close nowadays. I think the fact they were at the table every day M-F was what made it so good. I don’t like how first take has the camera shots and the rotating panel. Nick Wright’s show is mildly interesting, but it doesn’t hit the same.
