ESPN First Take ratings are proving the Stephen A. Smith-Shannon Sharpe pairing to be a huge success. Shannon Sharpe's First Take appearances drew more than 3x the viewers as Skip Bayless' Undisputed on Monday, and 6x more viewers on Tuesday.
yeah NOW you be yapping about it because it’s up and coming and current and it gets you clicks and views
you get more attention because you talk about caitlin clark and angel reese and paige bueckers now
i’ve been watching this man as long as i’ve been alive and on my life he has not talked about women’s basketball at all until the past couple of years
and honestly? at this point? i’d rather all these motherfuckers - stephen a, shannon, chuck, just shut the hell up about it, because they don’t know shit about the league or its physicality or its dynamics
i’m not gonna sit here and be told i should be grateful that shows like first take and inside the nba are yapping about women’s basketball when far more educated analysts and commentators - chiney, malika, andraya, elle, candace, steph white - do it right and do it better.
Stephen A. Smith's First Take nearly tripled the ratings of Skip Bayless' revamped Undisputed Live, and Stephen A. wasted no time flexing on his former debate partner.
