First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

Re: First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

I'm not a fan of forced debate. I feel like Skip Bayless is trying to force his way into being a "heel". The sad thing is, he's risen his awful persona into quite the career. Also, the next time an inteligent thought comes out of Stephen A's mouth will be the first.

2 or 3 years ago neither one of them had LeBron in their top 5 players. Their obnoxiousness is entertaining but I don't respect either of their opinions, especially skip.

Re: First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

People continue to feed into their stupidity(Bayless/Smith) and I never understand why.

What exactly is entertaining about Screamin' A yelling out "LEBRAWN JAYMES IS DA GREATEST PLAYAH THAT HAS EVAH STEPPED FOOT IN THE NBA AND DON'T YOU PEE-POLE EVAH FORGET THAT!" and Bayless saying stuff like "Aaron Rodgers is the most overrated QB in the NFL because he throws too many TDs passes and not enough Interceptions like the GOAT Brett Favre did"? Serious question BTW because I've never understood how people can be entertained by stuff like that. Is it case of them saying things you don't normally hear anywhere else?

Firstly, there are people out there who think Lebron James is the greatest player ever. I know because one of them is on my friend's list on Xbox Live. When he says this there's about 4-5 other people in the party to remind him to stop smoking that good stuff.

Secondly, Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers? Pfft. John Elway is the greatest ever. Deal with it

Thirdly, I find it entertaining when they aren't talking about sports they don't know anything about (anything that's not football or basketball). I enjoy their personalities (the one thing I've taken away from the WWE other than that you gotta smell what the Rock is cookin).

Yeah, you either like it or you don't like it.

It was pretty satisfying seeing Skip squirm after Flacco won the SuperBowl. He's an entertainer (not to some LOL), not to be taken seriously.

Re: First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

One of my favorite shows on TV. I find them entertaining and thoughtful. Skip doesn't always play the heel and agrees often with Stephen A on important and goofy topics. Anyways, who cares about those two when you look at Carrie Champion

Yeah, she's fine and you've summed the show up better than I did.

Re: First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

Kinda ironic that we're debating about how much we like or dislike a debate show lol

Re: First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

Skip is speaking the truth on Dwight right now.

Anyway, I enjoyed the show more when it wasn't all debate. Funny, I came to the realization that they had done away with the other segments after watching it on and off for a month or so.

Re: First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

I like drama and arguing. So I like it haha.

I realize that most of what Skip says is wayyyyy out there, and things he says are probably things that he does not actually believe, he just says it to raise controversy.

But I still do enjoy it. It combines two things I like, sports and pointless argument.

This show is one of the reasons I don't miss having cable/satellite.

I have to believe this. Unless it is something that because of PC issues where they can't be on different sides, they always have a different opinion so they can argue. I'm sure they decide beforehand which side each of them will take and then they come up with whatever they can to try and back that up.

ESPN has been shown to do that in the past and I see no reason that they aren't doing it still.

Re: First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

Skip said Chris Paul doesn't deserve a max deal. Enough said.

And his reasoning makes sense. Hold Chris Paul to the superstar light and you'd see that he isn't a franchise anchor, he will need a star to help. It's always the coach when it comes to CP3. I like him but when you drop the awe factor Skip made sense. Or at leat the episode I caught he did.

Personally I enjoy both and their banter. I love debating when it comes to sports so I'm entertained by the show.

Re: First Take-Skip Bayless & Steven A. Smith

I realize Skip and Steven A's love and hate of the Cowboys is beginning to get hard to take but this is just a programming alert:

Chris Rock will be on the show tomorrow shortly after His disparagement of Big Ben in Baltimore a few days ago.
