:ohhh:

interesting … i know WFAN & ESPN made it a violation - if you work for either you’re not allowed to be on the other broadcasts
so I assumed, FS1 had similar restrictions
Probably just ESPN vs WFAN since they are direct competition in NY radio
Carton can probably negotiate it, also Nick had a Mad Dog Radio show at night while doing FTF in the mornings
SAS was doing Mad Radio in the afternoons right after First Take for awhile

Yeah it was strictly a WFAN and ESPNY beef. Francesa could never have Peter Gammons on to talk baseball because he was working for ESPN. Fox has no such restrictions, that I'm aware of. Nick Wright (Fox) was on Bomani's (ESPN) podcast a couple months ago, and sounded like they were planning on doing it again.

cool … but the Mad Dog thing - really doesn’t apply , because he’s not employed or have a contract with WFAN

yeah shyt got real bad toward Mike latter years on the FAN

No Breeny; No Jeff Van Gundy etc. etc. to talk NBA playoffs ; finals
and I believe it was the key to WFAN stopping it’s traditional Mike & Madd Dog Super Bowl week at said locations (back inna dayz ESPN hired so many ex players / coaches etc. etc. and I remember Mike saying it was frustrating that people who he knew ; was very personal with & close to for decades weren’t allowed to do interviews with him at WFAN set at the Super Bowl site)

I don't think First thing First is going anywhere. Everyone has recognized the chemistry is working with Broussard in the fold. The odd show out is Speak For Yourself.

well I hope you’re right
because surprisingly it’s become the only show that I entirely watch on all these sports networks

With with that said I’m not convinced - Turned on the show this morning and they had some bullshyt NASCAR nonsense

I know it's hard for them nikkas to not stare at Joy Taylor's big ass titties on Speak for Yourself. I liked the dynamic Marcellus and Ancho had.
I did too but the way Marcellus turned into that against the grain Jason Whitlock light type character turned me off completely

I stopped watching

The lineup of Shady, Joy and Acho works well in my opinion though

Yea.. it's pretty apparent that Marcellus was ushered out of the gig by FS1 due to some of his right wing leaning beliefs. Plus those Vlad interviews certainly didn't help. He's not nearly as intolerable as that fat fukk Whitlock though.
