Essential The Official ESPN First Take Thread

[Optimus Prime]

ESPN doesn't dictate where other channels go, every cable/satellite company decides where channels go

No way ESPN is going to allow FS1 to get 2nd spot behind ESPN1. Believe that if you want
They sued Verizon last year for them trying to put ESPN in a separate sports bundle

So they're perfectly fine with MLB, NFL, & NBA being right next to them, but for some reason FS1 the struggle network puts fear into their hearts?

you are not understanding, no way ESPN would allow ESPN1, FS1, ESPN2, etc in that order. The ESPN block is one entity. you are not going to split it up. Theres always going to be a block of ESPN owned channels in front of FS1. If its FS1 or any other channels goal is to get close to ESPN1 (The Mothership) they CAN'T, because Disney has a buffer that can't be broken between ESPN1 and FS1 or NFL/NBA Network. Those channels are fighting against ESPNU and SEC Network on the dial...

It makes no sense to split the ESPN channels up so i don't see your point, you're trying to make a point that's just not there.

It's the Fox Sports 1 channel.. I was talkin to my man the other day and he didn't even realize he had that shyt

The channel itself needs to be positioned right above or below ESPN on some strategic shyt..

Nobody can even find FS1 on the guide

is FS1 even avaliable everywhere yet? There's literally no way 3-4x's as many ppl are choosing to watch First Take.

And also those trailers they show for Undisputd are kinda cheesy. They do better stuff than what those trailers show.

correct me if I'm wrong but you said the ESPN does not dictate where other channels go correct? Well yes they do because no one really cares about ESPNU, SEC, ESPN News. ESPN1 is where most of the sports are. So why wouldn't FS1 request to be put right after ESPN1?

It's available pretty much everywhere but depending on which company it will be on a sports tier and not on basic cable

I like Undisputed way more than First Take, I fukking hate SAS...And it's less cartoony.

At this point First Take is like a spoof show.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

some idiot put a ban bet on undisputed beating first take in ratings by next year


i'm not even going to bother finding it.. i'll let him live.. i knew that was a retarded bet from the moment he said it

 

[FakeNews]

I like undisputed, but Skip is insufferable. Can't stand SAS, but at least first take is a little more diverse in what they talk about.

With Undisputed's ratings being bad I wonder if Shannon will eventually get thrown under the bus

 

[lightskin jermaine]

I heard Stephen A went after bomani for his comments about Boston cheering for Hayward. Anybody have a video of the episode?

Which sucks because Shannon & Joy are the only people i like out of the whole First Take/Undisputed debacle.

Molly credited SAS for inventing asinine asi-ten
