I have always said that Skip Bayless/SAS and Michael Wilbon/Tony Kornheiser have the best chemistry when it comes to talking sports.

I used to think the same for Mike and Mike until Greeny did Golic dirty a few years back.

Mike&Mike was better than all of these shows. It wasn't forced comedy, or angling for the hottest take, or obnoxious screaming and yelling...

Mike&Mike was GOAT sports morning show on cable television, and frankly, radio as well...

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

FT IG 888k, Undisputed IG 562...

FT Twitter 1.4M, Undisputed Twitter 304k...

FT YT is consolidated under ESPN YT which has 5.99M, compared to Undisputed YT 1.46M...

First Take dominates Undisputed on any medium. At this point, it's a legacy sports debate show, has more credibility and equity in the game than Undisputed and is easier to draw in casual fans...

I'm not sure which is better. Undisputed does get stale. First Take gets extremely annoying with the screaming matches and forced comedy. I don't know which is better, but FT pulls in the numbers because of its network, its legacy, and Stephen A, who wile incredibly annoying at times, is a natural entertainer and a fan favorite, he is captivating to a large demographic of people. More captivating than any other person in that debate lane/format...

Honestly, Undisputed fell off a minute ago. I'll still watch it here and there when I'm not working but for the most part the topics are redundant as fukk, Shannon's comedy is getting stale and Skip has become tiresome as well rehashing the same ol shyt.

Jenny is a good moderator but I liked Joy Taylor a whole lot more.

I'm not a huge fan of First Take but that show is clearly better than Undisputed right now. They're slightly more diverse with they're topics and Steph/Max have better debates.

The Magic Johnson ep after his departure from LA proved that they're better.

Jenny is better than Joy on Undisputed. I'm not sure Joy's major appeal, other than she seemingly gels with any personality. Its gotta be her behind the scenes work. Fox stopped using her as a sideline reporter when she bombed at it, yet Jenny excels in that. And Jenny has a better "control" on Undisputed than Joy had...

Kristine was better on The Herd than Joy. Joy has a tendency to often ramble, and sometimes has misplaced commentary...

I don't doubt that she works hard, but her real strength must be what she does that doesnt show up on TV. She isn't great on TV...

I have wondered whether they would have stayed together had their show actually made the move to NY when it was first announced in a press release before being scrapped altogether.
