I've seen a lot of nikkas I thought was solid step and fetch for a check.

It's kinda funny people say they hate Skip but he's the common denominator of these great duos that people love to watch, whether its him and SAS or him and Shannon.

Skip not leaving, this is just reporting through the back channels to keep fox on the heels so when it's time to reup fox cut the check.

Fox not letting undisputed break up. That show kicked started the whole channel. No other programming is made possible without skip and shannon. Although the herd brought a lot over as well. Disney would have to drop a BAG to get skip back over there and with stephen a locked in, they don't feel they have to.

Leaning this way as well. Plus, Skip wanted to be in LA. Doubt he uproots his life again for no reason other than a lil bit of extra bread.

Undisputed > first take

 

[filial_piety]

man I love both First Take and undisputed...I like them just the way they are...but to see skip and SAS back together again would be epic

 

[Professor Emeritus]

People want to be entertained...not informed. You have to look at the demographics of their core audience. In order to standout in sports media you have to be loud and audacious. If not, you're someone that can be easily replaced.

Same goes for a lot of posters here. Take a look at how many threads come off like TMZ or a teen girl's magazine. TBH if a lot of these "on air personalities" posted on The Coli they wouldn't even stick out for basketball knowledge at all, but they'd get tons of daps for wording their hot takes just right and somehow that translates to $8 million/year.

I get informed watching

Skip’s not leaving. Undisputed has done a great job adapting to the cord cutting era and First Take is playing catch-up. Skip has way too much control to go back to ESPN. And the weather is better in LA

FT has much higher ratings than Undisputed, so how are they playing catch up?

FT has much higher ratings than Undisputed, so how are they playing catch up?

Skip and Shannon have a bigger IG, Twitter and YouTube presence than FT. On TV, FT will always be bigger.

 

[MoneyTron]

Skip and SAS on the OG First Take was must see TV. Pure hilarity. That one time Skip’s Tiago Splitter stanning had them both dying laughing.

 

[Lootpack]

All I know is that they need to bring back Ryan Hollins
