First Take really fell off around late 2012 or so :manny:

Then this year they didn't even go to the NBA Finals which they usual do every summer :francis:

Lol! That's when Stephen A had to start talking football,daily...lol. he's gotten better at that over time.

Late 2012 was still his first year.

I don't agree. shyt is actually watchable.

Plus it's the off season for basketball and football.
I agree...the show is much better for me now too. Skip was a dinosaur who didn't make points and trolled for entertainment. Max actually cares about being right and making sense. It's better now...Skip was laughable. "Cowboys this, Brady that"...c'mon man:skip:

First Take starting falling off like 2 years ago.

They have a 2 hour show and they focus on like 3 topics

First topic who will win the nfc east..... second segment it's will tony romo take it to the next level.. third segment can LeBron reach Jordan status... next segment will be who would u pick brady or rodgers..... then u have to throw in a race segment in the mix so Stephen A can go off.... then u will always have a mayweather and pac man talk....

They never talked about baseball unless its why blacks not playing anymore..they never mentioned any other football or basketball teams outside of 3 teams..

I'll be watching Skip and Shannon if I can. Stephen A doesn't stand on his word. I never heard Skip apologize for saying something about a player. He called Chris Bosh a Spice Girl to his face.

Wow this show is terrible. Stephen A is now a unabashed c00n, quick to drone and on and gesticulate to emphasize his generally terrible points. And Max Kellerman, while smart, has the personality of a doorknob. Plus his voice is annoying as hell to listen too.

And the end of the day, First Take was always about Skip essentially trolling athletes with outrageous statements, then watching players and clowns like Screaming A reacting to him. Shyt was comedy.

This new First take is hot garbage.
It's been garbage since 2011.

He's an old white man!

Stephen A likes to go to spots to drink 1 drink & chill or get a plate from somewhere. He's gonna run into folks or folks that know folks. Now Skip is Low key socially!...has anyone ever seen a pic of Ernestine!?!??... Nope.

im saying though... I didn't even know peple watched first take on a daily basis. I only would check it out the day after bron lost or won a ship.
I dont watch this shyt. I only see clips my boys send me on occasion on Facebook and stuff. Even the 5 min clips are becoming unbearable. Honestly, Skip needs to be replaced with someone with better personality, or just drop the show altogether.

Its clear Skip was the only reason folk watched the show. Although i do feel skip went overboard with the trolling last year.

The day Michelle Beadle backed down Stephen a Smith....stopped watching that day!

Bad enough they used the forum for more than sports. But that ray rice thing was the final nail. I just started watching segments constantly on YouTube....but Stephen a is just a character instead of sanity to skip. I feel like max is a good fit and could wash Stephen a most topics.

On field opinions & news (mention off field, but dont discuss) only. Don't need socially conscience soap boxes & opinions.
Yea that day made me lose a some respect for him. I used to look up to him as one of the better reporters back in the day when I would watch Quite Frankly as a kid.
